Gas prices have been increasing over the past month, most likely due to the political unrest in Libya. There have been some predictions that oil prices would surpass the 5200 per barrel mark for the first time ever.
BY PAT MUELLER pmueller@kansan.com
"That should keep things a little bit calm, but it's basically a loose cannon over there." Staihr said. "People react without sometimes thinking and that can just play havoc with speculators on oil prices."
U. S. Crude oil jumped to a 28-month high, peaking at about $100 a barrel last week. Many experts say political instability in Libya is the driving force of the price increase.
recently.
"The potential disruption in supply based on what we've seen going on in Libya, that has been single handedly part of the reason we had such volatility particularly last week," Brian Staihr, economics lecturer, said. According to Staihr, speculation and concerns about a shortage in oil supplies cooled off
The price of oil is not solely determined by physical supply, but also by expected future supply. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Libya holds the largest proven oil reserve in Africa. Staihr said that oil speculators raised prices after considering the possibility of a civil war in Libya that would disrupt oil production.

Students who are finishing up their coursework during the summer may walk down the hill
in May and must follow the same timeline requirements.
If students who plan on graduating in May do not apply today, they must meet with a graduation advisor as soon as possible.
In addition to applying to graduate, students must make a diploma delivery request, which can also be done on Enroll and Pay.

Fifty years ago on March 1, President Kennedy signed Executive Order 10924, an act which marked the birth of the United States Peace Corps. To mark the milestone, the Peace Corps offices at the University hosted a panel of returned Peace Corps volunteers at the Kansas Union Monday night.
Peace Corps volunteers discuss service after college
LOCAL
The panel consisted of four returning Peace Corps volunteers: George Pro, who served in Malaui, Lindsey Dudley, who served in Ecuador, Elizabeth Durkin, who served in Mongolia and Rachel Vierthaler, who served in the Dominican Republic.
Former students reflect on their experiences with the Peace Corps
Durkin said she learned as much about herself as she learned about the Mongolian people.
students who attended the panel discussion were able to have their questions about Peace Corps service answered by people who had gone through the process. Allie Brown graduated from the University two years
"I did and accomplished things during my time in Mongolia that I never imagine I would or could do." Durkin said.
"I think a lot of people just out of school are confused about what comes next. It was comforting to hear that the Peace Corps helped other people to find a direction in their lives." Brown said.

Jayhawks celebrate Senior Night with their seventh straight Big 12 title
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
twitter.com/UDKasketball
Thirteen may be out of reach by Self's count, but there's plenty of pride to be had in seven, which no team has accomplished since the advent of the three-point line in college basketball.
"It is amazing," Self said. "I don't think anybody's won seven in a row. And of course, they had 13, and we aren't getting 13."
The smiles were there Wednesday, just like they're supposed to be. And it seems they were a little bit wider when the Jayhawks clinched their seventh consecutive Big 12 title on the same night. It's a streak unmatched since UCLA's untouchable run of 13 consecutive Pac-10 championships, which ended in 1979.
It's supposed to be a feel-good night — Senior Night is. The seniors are supposed to have grins on their faces as they give their speech after beating some Big 12 foe. They're supposed to be able to crack jokes and get laughs, even if the jokes aren't that funny.
And talk about impressive: With this title, Self now has as many losses at Allen Fieldhouse as he does consecutive conference championships. That stat speaks to Self's unerring consistency and a primary reason why the Jayhawks are so difficult to top in conference play.

the best team in the conference again, and Morningstar, hesitantly, did just that.
"I mean," he said, pausing.
"Yeah."
— the worst conference record in the streak was 12-4 — and it's tough for anyone else to claim the crown.
He didn't want to say yes, it seems, because the title isn't theirs alone just yet, so the Jayhawks aren't happy. Though the Big 12 Championship trophy was in the building, and the championship t-shirts were given out to players in the locker room, there was little congratulations offered and even less pomp and circumstance.
A loss at Missouri and a Texas win at Baylor this Saturday would mean a split title with the Longhorns, the only Big 12 team the Jayhawks haven't beat this season.
"It's a pretty good accomplishment," senior guard Brady Morningstar said. "But we've still got business to take care of Saturday. We don't like sharing our titles."

"This is the best place to play in the world, believe it or not," senior guard Brady Morningstar said. "I don't think there's another place in the country, a better venue to play in, so we're spoiled with that." The Jawahars can say that.

Big 12 competition heats up as season continues
SOFTBALL
BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com
After three weekends of play in tournaments in Florida and North Carolina the Jayhawks are 14-1 and ranked number 33 in the nation, according to the USA Today Coaches Poll. The most competitive teams they have faced are the University of North Carolina and the University of Minnesota. However, Big 12 play is looming on the horizon and the majority of the teams in the past weekends are not equal competitors to what the team will face in the upcoming weeks.
The Jayhawks defeated UNC 5-4 in their season opener. At the time, the Tarheels were ranked No. 25 in the nation. Minnesota delivered the Jayhawks' only loss at 5-4 during the past weekend's tournament opener. The two teams met again in the tournament finals. Kansas came out on top in the 1-0 win.
"We played some really good softball here the last few weekends and we are going to put it to the test at UNLV," coach Megan Smith said.
This weekend the team travels to Las Vegas to face Bradley, San Jose State, UNLV, Troy and San
"We are going to focus on ourselves and that's our goal. That's what we have been doing all season and that's what we are going to do this weekend, just focus on what we need to do and hopefully it will all work out," Smith said.
"Every team in the Big 12 has great pitching. Some teams we see in the pre-conference season have maybe average pitching. So every team we are going to see is going to have stellar pitching; each game is going to be a tough one. It is going to be a fight each game and we are going to have to be prepared for that," Smith said.
Diego. After three weekends of play the team has not changed their mentality. They plan on focusing on the fundamentals and what they can control.
This weekend's competition will be some of the closest to what Big 12 play is expected to be. The biggest difference that the team will see as they approach conference play is pitching.
The team has continued to work together to pull out wins. The outfielders have not had to make many diving catches so far because of the work done by the pitching staff. This season the pitchers have been kept opponents to only 76 hits compared
Chris Bronson/KANSAN
The offense has been able to work away because the pitchers and the defense have been ending innings quickly. As a team, the Jayhawks have hit 24 home runs on the season. This weekend will be a good opportunity for the hitters to see tougher pitching and make the necessary adjustments to still bring in runs.
"It has been the same goal all year--to keep the ball down. We always say work the knees so keeping the ball down and hitting our spots. We always focus on what we need to do rather than focus on what the batter is doing." senior pitcher Allie Clark said.

to Kansas' 123 hits. The pitchers have a team average ERA of 2.11 on the season and are being led by freshman Kristin Martinez at 1.35.
Things are coming together as they should be at this point in the season. As long as the team continues to stick to the fundamentals and controlling the little aspects of the game there is no reason they should not continue to be a strong competitor and move up into the top 25 ranked teams.

COMMENTARY
Jayhawks play ugly to beat Aggies
TANGS
BY KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Teams need games like this. Maybe not every team, but any team with national
title aspirations certainly does.
It was nearly 40 minutes of ugly, bad-shooting basketball. It was full of defense and lacked any semblance of rhythm. But don't take my word for it.
"The game had no rhythm," Bill Self said of Wednesday's 64-51 win over Texas A&M. "It was an ugly game, but that's how they needed to play to give them the best chance."
For the first three quarters of the game, questions arose. Neither team was looking great, and the slow tempo would make even Phog Allen proud. The ugliness brought back memories of last year's tournament loss. The final 10 minutes, however, answered those questions.
With the amount of talent on this Kansas roster, running with the Jayhawks isn't normally a great idea. They're "pretty," says their coach. Pretty teams win a lot of games and fill plenty of highlight reels but don't always succeed in March. Just ask last year's team. The 2010 Jayhawks entered the tournament as the overall No. 1 seed, only to be bounced by Northern Iowa, whose system can be the poster child for "pretty" killers. They held the ball, controlled the tempo and rendered the Kansas talent nearly useless. The highlight-filled careers of Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich were gone after one ugly game. That's all it takes in March when you meet a team with that mentality.
All season, Bill Self has talked of his team's need to get stops on the defensive end when the shots weren't falling. It didn't happen for the first 29 minutes and 58 seconds against Texas A&M. But after a Kansas timeout with 10:02 left in the game, something clicked. Elijah Johnson finished an alley-oop from Marcus Morris and the defense came alive. The Jayhawks finished the game on a 21-10 run, putting the Aggies to rest and ensuring the three seniors — Mario Little, Brady Morningstar, and Tyrel Reed — ended their Allen Fieldhouse careers with a win.
"Those are tournament type games, where shots aren't falling," Tyrel Reed said. "You've got to grind them out, because you can't really get in a rhythm."
Any national champion will play at least one of these games in the tournament. It's bound to happen over a six-game stretch. Last year's "pretty" team couldn't beat an ugly team in the tournament. Will this year's version accomplish the feat if needed? Only time will tell, but Wednesday night's victory showed fans, and more importantly the players, that they are capable of it.
It wasn't appealing to the eye, but it was needed.

It's hard not to like Kansas State
MORNING BREW
I know that this may be sacrilegious considering that I am a student from the University of Kansas, but I really like Kansas State and the way that the team is playing right now.
Everyone needs a good rival. And I think respect is something that's important in a rivalry.
Behind Frank Martin's sideline-stomping tantrums, ill-fitting mobster suits and stares that could probably turn someone to stone, I do think there is a guy who cares a lot about his players and the game of basketball.
players and the game of basketball Just look at what he's done this season. After the UNLV loss in December, many wrote the team off. Right before the game it was announced that two of K-State's veteran players, Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly, would not be playing because they received impermissible benefits at a clothing store. Pullen missed three games and Kelly four.
I am very happy with your support.

in shambles. How much of that had to do with overly high expectations? How much was due to bad luck? And how much of it was Martin and his over-the-top coaching style, we won't know. The good thing about rock bottom, however, is that there is only one way to go.
So what did the Cats do? Well, to me, it appears they got angry and scared. Jacob Pullen said he wasn't going to play in the NIT tournament, and he meant it. When a freshly crowned, No.1 Jayhawk team traveled to Manhattan, a desperate Wildcat team was waiting to claw its way back into the NCAA tournament. And that's exactly what it did. I was at that game, and K-State was a completely different team. It came alive. Every shot was contested; every rebound was important. And Jacob Pullen was playing a game that even I had to be impressed with. The Big 12 player of the year candidate came to life with an unbelievable 38 points against
THE MORNING BREW
a No.1 ranked team.
Now the question for Jayhawk fans is what kind of threat will Kansas be? Can they beat a healthy Kansas team in a neutral site, either at the Big 12 tournament or even during the NCAA tournament? Has K-State finally found its stride? Or has it just been lucky to face teams who are down on their luck? I'm not sure, but I do know that I would not want to risk facing that Frank Martin stare come mid-March.
That win lit a fire for the Wildcats, more than even Frank Martin's wide-eyed, spit-spewing screams could. Since then, K-State has been unbeatable. Winning a hard-fought contest against Missouri at home and then traveling to Texas to control a game against a team that had the Big 12 conference title in its grasps.

On the stand: the Fourth Amendment
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Eight years ago, a child protection investigator and a deputy sheriff removed a 9-year-old Oregon girl from her classroom and questioned her at length as to whether her father had sexually abused her. According to the girl, they wouldn't take "no" for an answer, and she falsely incriminated her father.
On Tuesday, that incident will be the focus of arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court in a divisive case that has roused intense interest among those with a stake in child welfare issues.

Ken Klukowski, director of Family Research Council's Center for Religious Liberty, described the Greene case as a "close call" due to the common interest on both sides in upholding the best interests of children. However, he said the issue of government encroachment on parental rights prompted the council to get involved.

LPD launches new online database
Lawrence Police unveiled a new feature on their website Monday that shows all calls police have responded to in the last 48 hours.
The list of calls, which can be accessed at lawrencepolice.org, will be updated every hour on the hour. While some calls may take several hours to be posted, others will be available in near real-time.
"As soon as an incident is considered safe to close, it will be listed on the site," Sergeant Matt Sarna said in a news release.
The list is not manually updated, but draws information from dispatch computers.

Mort Rosenblum talks to students about his experiences as a foreign correspondent. Rosenblum also discussed his views on the future of journalism.
Journalist tells own story
BY CHRIS HONG chong@kansan.com
Mort Rosenblum has been to more than 200 countries throughout his 50-year career as a foreign
He has been to Vietnam.
He has been to Bosnia. And on Monday, he visited Lawrence for the first time.
PASSEREL
Rosenblum
Rosenblum spoke about
his experiences as a journalist and offered advice to a group of students Monday morning at the Resource Center in Stauffer-Flint Hall. He said it's important to help future journalists effectively develop their craft.
"I personally don't want to be in the generation that switched out the lights and said good luck to everyone else," he said.
Along with speaking at universities, Rosenblum teaches a reporting class at the University of Arizona and has written a number of books. His most recent work, "Little Bunch of Madmen," is a guide for not only young correspondents covering global news, but also for readers who follow the news. Rosenblum also founded Reporting Unlimited, a group that aims to inspire and groom the next generation of foreign correspondents.
Rosenblum left the University of Arizona to work for the Mexico City Times at the age of 17. After returning to Arizona and finishing his journalism degree, The Associated Press sent Rosenblum to the Congo to cover the mercenary wars in 1967. The lists of historical events he has covered and the pictures on his website including one of him face to face with Fidel Castro - paint a picture of a long, fulfilling and dangerous career. Rosenblum said the scariest moment of his career was covering the death squads in Argentina during the 1970s.
"Society has to understand that this is not possible unless these professional people somehow get paid, and the people who produce the news make some money."
Rosenblum also discussed the transition from print to online content in journalism. He said he understands the advantages the Web offers the media, but people must still be willing to pay for the news. He said professionally trained journalists are a necessity for a properly informed society.
Even though he said journalists need to be able to make a living, he said his motivation was never money or the personal glory that came with writing stories.
"You don't want to analyze it, because you can't," he said about handling the fear that is sometimes associated with the job.
"The main thing is the satisfaction of getting a good story across," he said. "It's the challenge of really doing it right."

In continued celebration, the Peace Corps offices will host an application workshop for prospective volunteers this Thursday, March 3. Ben Weichman, director of the KU Peace Corps program, encourages anyone curious or interested in international community service to attend the workshop.
"We're encouraging juniors and seniors who are possibly considering entering the Peace Corps to attend," Weichman said, "but we are also encouraging sophomores to come out to get a sense of what we are about."

GAS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"Last week there was talk of potential oil going over $200 a barrel if we saw absolute civil war in Libya," Staihr said. "Of course oil has never been that high, God willing it will never be that high."

"Anything that people buy, anything that gets delivered uses gas, which uses oil," Stairh said. "It's a fundamental input to production. And it tricks through everything. Take a delivery truck delivering bagels to a deli. If the
The high cost of oil doesn't only affect suppliers, but consumers as well. Staihr said because gas is such an economic necessity, the demand never decreases and prices continue to climb. People need gas to get around, and are often spending money put aside for something else on filling up their tanks.

AMERICAN BUSINESS WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION
Adult businesses could see more location restrictions
BY JONATHAN SHORMAN jshorman@kansan.com
Adult businesses may be placed under new restrictions if the Community Defense Act passes through Kansas legislature.
The Community Defense Act would prohibit semi-nude dancers from touching patrons and would restrict adult businesses, which includes both strip clubs and pornography shops, from operating within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, houses of worship and other adult businesses.
Under the current bill, existing adult businesses would be grandfathered in.
Philip Bradley, a Lawrence-based lobbyist for adult entertainment businesses, said adult bookstores should be considered separately from adult entertainment.
"The two of them are linked in one bill, and that's the problem," Bradley said.
Bradley said adult entertainment businesses were already regulated and that communities have come out against new regulations on strip clubs because it would override local regulations already in place. When the House Committee on Federal and State Affairs sent the bill to the full House, it attached a note acknowledging that the bill is opposed by some local governments.
Family and women's groups have come out in support of the bill. Michael Schuttloff, director of the Kansas Catholic Conference, testified before the committee last week that the bill would place necessary restrictions of adult businesses.
"If there can be no possible regulation of the establishment of so-called 'adult entertainment centers' next to our homes, schools, churches and playgrounds, then what space will be left to the great majority of us that are deeply offended by their presence and wish to avoid their
Bradley said that there was little evidence to support claims that adult businesses lead to higher crime. If anything, strip clubs have lower rates of crime because of increased police and security presence, Bradley said.
"It's a solution looking for a problem," Bradley said.

Seniors recognize pivotal years at Fieldhouse

It's tradition before the game for the cheerleaders and dancers to throw roses on the court when the seniors' names are announced. It's also tradition for the seniors to address those in attendance when they hear the buzzer one final time at Allen Fieldhouse.
Coach Bill Self gave the three seniors four minutes to give their speeches; all exceeded the limit and guard Mario Little almost took up the entire 12 minutes allotted for all three by himself.
an all three of mine.
"Those guys did a good job, but obviously they far exceeded their four minute time limit." Self said.
"I thought Rio maybe forgot to thank a couple of ushers and some people working concessions, but I think he was able to touch base for everybody else."
Little went down the line thank ing every single person on the Kansas basketball staff. He thanked his teammates, the fans and his family, especially his grandma.
Before he could even begin to thank her he was silent. Hunched over a center court for 37 seconds with tears strolling down his face.
He then proceeded. He said that he never really thanked her for all that she did and he is very appreciative for her. Little said that he was tough because he is from the Southside of Chicago. But on Wednesday night he showed his
softer side.
As for the other two seniors, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed, they choked up at times, but fought back the tears.

Reed said he has lived the dream and thanked the fans for allowing him to. Reed is five wins away (125) from tying Sherron Collins for the most in school history.
top like he did.
Morningstar joked around with his age. He said that Self was like a father figure to most, but
"There's no better place in America to play, and no better coach to play for," Reed said during his speech.
When Morningstar was thanking the staff, he got to coach Manning and said that he wants to go out on top like he did.
Morningstar called him a brother because they are so close in age.
Those words are eerily similar
"I thought it was pretty good to be honest," Self said.

to those of Larry Brown, who was in attendance. Brown said, "There's no better place to coach, there's no better place to go to school, there's no better place to play." Brown left Kansas after Danny and the Miracles captured the school's fourth national title.
That wasn't the best part of the night. Morningstar finished his speech by telling fans to vote for Reed for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award and to donate to the Lisa Robinson Foundation.

Academy Awards ratings drop 7 percent, critics blame hosts
Many critics dissed the hosting combo of James Franco and Anne Hathaway, but considering that the ceremony lacked a huge crowdpleasing nominee such as last year's "Avatar," Sunday's 83rd Academy Awards telecast on ABC held up pretty well in the ratings.
The three-hour-plus show scored a 24.6 household rating in the top 56 TV markets, according to early results
from the Nielsen Co. That was down 7 percent compared with last year's broadcast.
But the ceremony, which awarded the best picture prize to "The King's Speech," slipped just 2 percent among viewers ages 18 to 49. That may have been thanks to Hathaway and Franco, the youngest cohosts in Oscar history and an effort by the academy, as Hathaway alluded to in an early joke, to be "appealing" to a youthful
demographic
The critics were mostly less than kind. The Hollywood Reporter said the awards show "could go down as one of the worst Oscar telecasts in history." Los Angeles Times critic Mary McNamara said the pair "played it safe" but nevertheless delivered what was expected of them.
More detailed ratings, including a total-viewer count, will be released later Monday.

EDITORIAL
Peace Corps' birthday overshadowed by issues
To better prepare volunteers against the inherent risks that come with living and working abroad, the Peace Corps is establishing prevention and response committees and has increased its focus on safety during volunteers' in-country training.
Through the years, the Peace Corps has sent more than 200,000 volunteers to 139 countries with a mission of establishing world peace and promoting friendship.
Today, volunteers still educate children and work on bringing safe, clean water to communities across the globe as they did in the beginning days of the organization, but now the Peace Corps also offers programs that include information technology, business development and HIV/AIDS related activities.
There are 47 KU graduates serving
abroad with the Peace Corps, which landed the University a spot on the Peace Corps Top Colleges 2011 list. The University ranked 25th among large universities and colleges, according to the Peace Corps website.
Unfortunately, recent reports of rape and sexual assault have been prevalent in the media, diminishing the organization's achievements. During the past few months, several female Peace Corps volunteers have come forward and shared their experiences abroad.
It is important not to let the negativity overshadow all of the good that the Peace Corps has accomplished. At the same time, this is definitely an issue that requires immediate attention if the Peace Corps wants to continue to spread its message of peace and friendship across the world.
In a recent "20/20" interview, Jess Smochek, a volunteer from Pennsylvania, revealed that she was gag raped in Bangladesh in 2004. Smochek said her requests to be relocated were ignored by Peace Corps officials within the country that she served.
Between 2000 and 2009, Peace Corps figures show that there were 221 rapes or attempted rapes, 147 major sexual attacks and 719 other sexual assaults - defined as unwanted or forced kissing, fondling or groping according to an ABC news article by Anna Schecter and Brian Ross.
Ben Wiechman, the University's Peace Corps recruiter, said the safety of volunteers was a top priority and that the Peace Corps Director Aaron Williams, appointed by President Obama in 2009, was particularly focused on addressing the safety of volunteers.

Nine easy changes to make Lawrence best college town
It's safe to say that I love Lawrence. After being born at Memorial Hospital 21 years ago, it's always tough for me to leave this unique town. As a townie, I think that Lawrence is the best place to go to school, live or even raise a family. However, just like any city, it could use a few tweaks to make this the best place possible. So I've developed a list of nine things I'd change.
1. Abolish the Jayhawk Café (a.k.a The Hawk)
I know, I know, that really chafed some of you. But for most of us that have been to the Hawk more than once, this is pretty self-explanatory. This will cause us to broaden our horizons and venture out to the other less crowded bars of Lawrence.
2. Get rid of the Texas attitude
You all (or should I say y'all) got one thing right: you got the heck out of Texas and came here; now that's a step in the right direction. Your second plan of action would be to get rid of the Texas attitude. This includes the accents, jargon, flags, Cowboy jerseys and for the love of Pete, we need to get rid of the overall thinking that Texas is the best state, or as some say "country," in the world. Yes, Texas is a big state. But that doesn't mean Texans' heads have to be big too.
3. Have at least two Brellas lines in the underground
M. HERBERTO MAYORAL
Students are busy. No one has time to wait 20 minutes for his or her daily Crunchy Chicken Cheddar wrap.
4. Limit the size of "frat packs" to no more than five at a time while walking on campus
We've all seen it, a pack of 20 guys walking in unison with a button down, khaki pants and Sperry's. This causes so much confusion in my mind; are they all going to one class? Do they drop each other off at class? And more importantly, why are they all wearing slightly varied versions of the exact same outfit? To avoid confusion, I limit to five per frat pack.
BY TAYLOR BUSSINGER
tbussinger@kansan.com
5. Add at least one more Chick-Fil-A in town
After those two epic snow days, I've really been able to see what the lack of Chick-Fil-A does to me. If campus is closed, this means no Chick-Fil-A for Taylor. We all get that sudden urge for a No. 1 combo when were running errands off campus. Lawrence has to recognize this problem and add another freaking Chick-Fil-A.
6. Prohibit Tech9 concerts We all just know there is way too much sketch activity there. Point blank.
7. Get rid of meter maids
Throughout my years living in this town and going to the University, I've racked up some debt in parking tickets. In fact I've had two warrants out for my dad's arrest because my car is registered in his name. Can you think of another job besides meter maids and cops (nothing against cops), where all day long they just ruin peoples' days writing tickets? Getting rid of meter maids would make residents in Lawrence 100 times happier.
8. Clean up the "student ghetto"
After living in the "student ghetto" for two years, I've had enough with the sketchy business that goes down here. Most of us who live between Ohio and Kentucky Streets know how screwed we get month in and month out. The landlords typically suck, charging usually over $400 a month per person for a house that shakes every time you walk up the stairs.
9. Fix the freaking potholes.

Misconceptions of China still prevalent
China's economic power has grown at a rapid rate over the past 30 years. The whole world witnessed its growth and was stunned by it.
After I came to the United States, I frequently heard that China might be the next super power on this planet. And that it's one of the most technologically advanced places in the world, along with Japan.
And of course, I heard that the Chinese government is the abolisher of civilized human rights.
So what is China? Are those observations true? I am sorry but I might have to disappoint you.
Let's start with the economy. China might have a very strong economic growth rate, but we did not have a large economy to start with. China's Gross Domestic Product, though growing at an astonishing rate of almost 10 percent a year, is still only a fraction of the U.S.'s GDP. We might have made a lot of T-shirts, but how many T-shirts can be exchanged for a Boeing 747? We cannot even make a gas operated car engine yet. I would not call this a strong economy.
What about the military? Western countries are often frightened by the increased military spending of China, but if the entire Chinese defense budget was to be used on the U.S.military, the money would be gone within the first two months of the year.
Is China technologically advanced? I am afraid the answer has to be no. Seventy percent of the population in China is farmers. Computers are still rare in a lot of remote farming areas. Occasionally you have this impression that China is advanced technologically, and that is because you have probably gone to one of the showcase cities in China. Cities like Shanghai are very famous and rich, yet they
BY KIRK WU
kwu@kansan.com
are a very inaccurate representation of the true lives of the Chinese people. For the 1.4 billion people we have, many are still fighting hard for tomorrow's food. The difference on the distribution of wealth is tremendous.
And is the Chinese government a bad one? No matter how bad you say the Chinese government is, one thing I have to give it credit for,it manages to feed one-sixth of the population on the planet. Mind you, China used to be a land of starvation and was often invaded by foreign powers before the communist government took over. They made a lot of mistakes along the way, but looking at where things are going now,they seem to know what they are doing.
Overall, China has gotten richer over the past 30 years, but becoming a super power is still a midday's dream. One thing I felt very sad about is that although the wallets of the people were becoming bigger and bigger, too many have become money-driven. True values are rarely presented these days. The society is becoming richer but indeed, a crueler one under the shadow of materialism. Which is better, a richer country or an innocent one?
Often, it seems that we do not have a choice.

Brady Morningstar
Morningstar finished with nine points on perfect 3-of-3 shooting, four assists, zero turnovers and four steals. It was the quintessential Brady Morningstar performance, delivered on his long-awaited senior night. Throw in a seventh straight Big 12 title — it only seems like he's been there for all of them, he's had just five — and it was a night for all the Jayhawks to remember.

Twenty minutes into the game, life looked pretty sweet for Tyshawn Taylor. He had seven points, no turnovers and was starting the second half. It wasn't a fool's bet to think he'd already won his starting job back. But Elijah Johnson outplayed Taylor in the second half, particularly on the defensive end, and Johnson, Self said, will be the starter at Missouri for all the Jayhawks to remember.

13:32 — Tyshawn Taylor gets the steal and pushed it to Tyrel Reed, who could have flushed it for an easy dunk, but instead calmly lays it in. (9-6)
6:08 — The backdoor ally-oop that was run so efficiently in 2008 makes an appearance. Morningstar throws a perfect pass to Markieff Morris. (13-11)
16:36 —Tyshawn Taylor air balls a jumper, but Markieff Morris is there to kick it to Brady Morningstar, who hits a three. (36-28)
SECOND HALF
9:51 — Coming out of a timeout, Marcus Morris throws the backdoor ally-oop to Elijah Johnson. (45-41)
6:55 — Brady Morningstar gives Kansas its largest lead of the night after hitting a wide-open three pointer infront of the Kansas bench. (52-43)

Kansas moves on to play four games in next four days

Opportunity lurks for the Kansas baseball team on a business trip to Surprise, Ariz., this weekend. With four games in the next four days, the Jayhawks are sure to have their hands full in the Coca-Cola Classic.

said.
The Jayhawks have only one day to recover from a three-game home stand that ended Tuesday. Kansas won all three games, and Price said he was pleased with how the starting pitchers performed.
"I thought it was important that the starters went deep into the game, and gave us a chance to protect ourselves for the four-game series that starts Thursday," Price said.
The Jayhawks take their 4-3 record into a weekend that's sure to be action-packed, as the Jayhawks will be taking on four West Coast teams, including No.7 Arizona State.
Junior first baseman Zac Elgie and the Jayhawks will take on UC Riverside Thursday at 5 p.m. in its first game at Surprise Stadium. The Highlanders out of Riverside, Calif., are riding a four-game winning streak into the weekend, and will be a threat at the plate against Kansas.

Freshman Alex Cox will handle the arduous task of slowing down the Highlanders' bats. UC Riverside is batting .301 on the season with an average of five runs per game. The lineup for Kansas will also have a tough task, facing UC Riverside pitcher, Eddie Orozco, who has posted an ERA of 1.12 early in the season.

On Friday at 5 p.m. the Jayhawks will square off against the Road Runners of Cal State Bakersfield. Cal State Bakersfield brings an impressive 6-2 record into the weekend. Sophomore pitcher Tanner Poppe will take the mound for Kansas, against an even more potent Road Runners offense. Cal State Bakersfield is currently batting an impressive .337 with a
slugging percentage of 436.
The lights will be bright Saturday at 6 p.m. when the Jayhawks take on No. 7 Arizona State. The game boasts two big-time arms, with Kansas throwing its ace, T.J. Walz, against ASU's top pitcher, Kyle Ottoson. Ottoson is 2-0, with an ERA of 1.38.
Kansas worked hard this past week to get its record back above .500, and the progress it makes this weekend could either vault the Jayhawks in the right direction or leave them meandering around the .500 mark.
Kansas will finish the weekend Sunday at 11 a.m. against an Air Force team that is 3-4 early in the season. Senior Wally Marceli has opened the year strong with an ERA of 2.25.

Up eight early in the third period, New York got a three-point play from Anthony and two baskets by Douglas in an 11-2 run that extended the lead to 63-46. New Orleans cut it to 11, then Williams made two 3-pointers and a layup on a bullet pass from Anthony, and Stoudemire had the other two

Jared Jeffries had six rebounds in 24 minutes in his return to the Knicks. Traded last year to Houston at the trade deadline, he
signed with the Knicks on Tuesday after coming to a buyout agreement with the Rockets last week.
Jeffries was the last piece the Knicks brought in during their week of tinkering for the playoff run. There's long been talk that Paul could be the final piece to a potential title contender when he becomes a free agent and eligible to flee the small-market Hornets in 2012.
Paul ignored the fans near the Hornets' bench who were shouting to him before the game that hed be on the Knicks someday. He may be annoyed by the talk, but as
Anthony and LeBron James teasingly reminded him during the All-Star break, it was Paul who added fuel to it with his playful toast at Anthony's July wedding in New York that those two would come join Stoudemire with the Knicks to counter Miami's newly formed Big Three.

Douglas hit all four shots, including a pair of 3-pointers, and scored 10 points in leading the Knicks to a 25-25 lead after one. The Knicks scored eight straight late in the half to open a 12-point lead before Paul made a jumper for his only basket of the half, cutting it to 52-42.

The University of Kansas dining services already offer some whole grain products, but as whole grain products are becoming more popular, dining services are adding more food options to their menus.
David Arnett, manager of the Underground, says that KU dining services are trying to make the shift to whole grain products. The main idea is to offer healthier food options for students.

multi-grain options at Brellas. We also serve a grilled chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A that comes on a wheat bun," said Arnett.
Currently KU dining services throughout campus offer whole-grain options. Brellas is one University restaurant offering healthier food items and can be found at Oliver Hall, the Underground, Crimson Café and the Market.

Elizabeth Kocen, a junior, says KU dining services should offer more vegetables and wheat-based noodles to provide students with a
James Heryynk, a Ph.D. student in medical anthropology, conducted research on brown rice versus white rice and tried to push KU dining services to serve brown rice sushi instead of white rice sushi.
"Whole grains are one of the foods that you can never have enough of," Herynk said. "Whole grains contain antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber not found in refined grains."
The difference between whole grains and the standard white grain is in the processing.
grain is in the kernel. "Whole grains include the kernel, which is the power-packed part of grain made up of the bran, endosperm, and germ," Herynk said.
Processing grain removes the bran, which is the outer layer that contains most of the fiber, and the germ, which contains many of the nutrients packed in the seed.
Herynk is concerned with the overall quality of foods offered on campus.
"The food options on campus mostly consist of fats, sugars, and empty carbs that convert rapidly to energy." Herynk said.
In response to people wanting more health conscious options, the Underground sold the brown rice sushi option and said it was not very successful. Then the Underground went back to the white rice sushi, Arnett said.

Fraternity puts faith first and membership second
CAMPUS
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
Todd Dorsey says his fraternity focuses more on the quality of men than the quantity.
Brothers Under Christ, or "Bucks," is a small fraternity of 27 men that centers on Christ and being
a Christian.
The fraternity isn't as widely known as some of the Greek groups on campus.
This group isn't Greek but uses the letters: Beta Chloride.
Upsilon Chi (BYX).
Dorsey
Bucks isn't focusing on being a large group at the moment, said Todd Dorsey, a senior from Overland Park and co-founder of the OYK Kansas chapter.
Schools like Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas have more than 100 members. Dorsey said the Kansas chapter isn't dwelling on becoming one of the larger chapters. He wants the chapter to be on the same page. He wants to see fellowship among
the members and see them grow in unity.
"You never want to double in one year or one semester," Dorsey said. "It's really hard with the structure and logistics of having everything happen and happen well."
Since the fraternity started a year ago, Dorsey said there have been about eight new members per semester. He said that he wants about 40 to 45 members by its sixth semester. At the current growth rate, Buck will hit the number in its fifth semester.
itself sentient.
Dorsey said that there has been a difficulty getting the fraternity's name out there. An article that ran in the Lawrence Journal World said that BYX is an exclusive fraternity, which it is. Members have to be men and have to be Christian, but that is to continue on with the fraternity's purpose. Dorsey said that people from all walks of life are invited to their open parties.
Dorsey said that people have the perception that BYX thinks it is above everybody else, but Dorsey said this isn't the case. He said the fraternity is trying to establish relationships with other fraternities and sororites. BYX is having a dinner
with Tri-Delta on March 15, and they are also participating in intramurals.

but about this.
“Our goal of pledgeship is to grow them in fellowship with each other, integrate them with the fraternity, make them feel welcome, included and then also teaching them how to be men,” Wynne said.

President willing to bend on health care
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON — Looking for some goodwill from the nation's governors, President Barack Obama said Monday that he's willing to bend a bit to help them deal with their budgetary problems stemming from health care costs- and the political heat rising from his 2010 law to expand health care.
Obama,addressinggovernorsin town for the National Governors Association, said he supports a move to let states design their

own health care systems starting in 2014 with waivers from provisions of his 2010 Affordable Care Act, so long as those state systems meet the law's goals. The existing law wouldn't allow state waivers until 2017.
"It will give you flexibility more quickly while still guaranteeing the American people reform," Obama told the governors. "If your state can create a plan that covers as many people as affordably and comprehensively as the Affordable Care Act does - without increasing the deficit-you can
The president vowed as well to work with a bipartisan panel of governors to find alternate ways to reduce Medicaid costs without hurting services to those who need it, if the governors can come up with recommendations that meet his qualifications. "If you can come up with more ways to reduce Medicaid costs while still providing quality care to those who need it, I will support those proposals as well."

Duke breezes past Clemson
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. — Nolan Smith scored 21 points and Kyle Singler had 18 in their final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, leading No. 4 Duke past Clemson 70-59 on Wednesday night.
Seth Curry also had 18 points for the Blue Devils (27-3, 13-2 Atlantic Coast Conference).
Demontez Stitt scored 14 points to lead the Tigers (19-10, 8-7). They kept it within single digits for most of the game and were in
it down the stretch despite being held to two field goals in a late 11-minute span.
The latter part of that drought coincided with the span when the Blue Devils gave themselves just enough separation. They outscored Clemson 13-4 while pushing the lead into double figures for just the second time. Curry capped that run with a free throw with 5:02 left that put Duke up 63-52.
The Tigers cut it to 65-59 on Tanner Smith's jumper with 2 minutes left, but didn't score the rest of the way. Nolan Smith answered by scoring on a baseline drive and then splitting through the Clemson defense on his way to a tomahawk dunk with 37.6 seconds left that put Duke up by double digits to stay.
That was one of the only things that came easy on this night for the Blue Devils and their Smith.
The ACC's leading scorer approached his average of 23 points, but he struggled to do it, finishing 7 of 20 from the field with a career-high eight turnovers.
Duke, which bounced back from the weekend loss at Virginia Tech that cost it a No.1 national ranking by winning its NCAA-best 36th straight home game, claiming its 56th in a row at Cameron against unranked opponents and avoiding its first losing streak since 2008-09.
The Blue Devils went 65-2 at Cameron during the careers of Singler and Smith, with the only losses coming during their freshman and sophomore seasons to hated rival North Carolina.
Hawks battle Bulls for win
NBA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Al Horford matched his career high with 31 points, including a jam with 29 seconds remaining to give Atlanta its first lead, and the Hawks beat the Chicago Bulls 83-80 on Wednesday night.
The Bulls scored the first 14 points of the game, took a 19-point lead in the second quarter and kept the lead until the final minute.
The Hawks, who were without injured forward Josh Smith, have six straight home wins in the series with the Bulls.
Horford had 16 rebounds and two steals, including one after his go-ahead basket that set up a jam by Joe Johnson for the final margin.
The Hawks cut Chicago's lead to
one point at 79-78 on a 3-pointer by Marvin Williams with 1:18 remaining.
Atlanta finally pulled even at 79-all when Horford made one of two free throws with 56 seconds remaining. Noah pushed Chicago's lead back to one point by making one of two free throws with 37 seconds remaining.
Following a timeout, Jamal Crawford drove toward the basket and passed to Horford, whose jam gave Atlanta its first lead at 81-80.
Chicago the Kyle Korver missed a 3-pointer at the final buzzer.
Horford had 13 points in the third quarter as the Hawks cut into Chicago's lead. Johnson, who struggled most of the game, hit a jumper from the corner with 6:22 remaining to trim the lead to 70-69.
Korver answered Johnson's shot with a 3-pointer.
The Bulls established a physical and dominant pace when Noah beat Horford for the opening tipoff.
Chicago starters outscored Atlanta's first five 42-16 in the half for a 50-33 lead.
Rose passed to Carlos Boozer, who jammed for the game's first basket. Noah blocked a shot by Horford on the other end, and the Bulls were on their way to the 14-0 run.
Tensions flared late in the first half when Horford was fouled hard by Boozer. With Horford on his back under the basket, Hawks center Zaza Pachula pushed Chicago players away. Horford remained in the game to make one of two free throws.

Jayhawks head to Iowa State, look for a big win
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kqier@kansan.com
In less than one month, the Jayhawks climbed from last in the Big 12 to tied for seventh. This is due, in large part, to Kansas' current three-game winning streak and a 5-2 record in its last seven games. Tonight, Kansas will take its 19-9 record to No. 24 Iowa State in"search of a final road win in conference play.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson is quick to credit sophomore guard Angel Goodrich with the success of the team.
Goodrich recorded double figure assists in three of the last six games, including a career high 15 against Iowa State earlier this season. Goodrich has 127 on the year, leading the conference in assists and placing her tenth in the nation with six assists per game.
"She has elevated her game and she has elevated the game of those around her," Henrickson said. "She is more confident in a half court offense. She is hitting pull up jump shots, giant killers over big defense. We have been able to play off her confidence."
Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis said that Goodrich's confidence at the point guard position allows for better success in transition.
"She is not hesitant to push the ball every time, she is not hesitant to pull up and call an offense, she just wants to run," Davis said.
Davis has also been a proven
Despite strong performances, Davis said that she needs to improve on the road. Last week at a poor showing at Oklahoma State, she scored only nine points in 16 minutes before fouling out.
"I am really disappointed about some of the passes I made," Goodrich said.
Goodrich said she needs to work on passing after committing four turnovers against Oklahoma State.
"It is frustrating because I have not been performing like this on the road." Davis said.
Kansas defeated Iowa State in a surprising 86-85 overtime upset on Feb. 9. The Cylcones were ranked No. 20 before falling to the Jayhawks. This victory kicked off the Jayhawks' recent 5-2 run.
leader for the team. She has been Kansas' top scorer for 17 games this season, including a career-high performance Saturday against Nebraska where she contributed 36 points on 16-19 shots.
Now, three weeks later, the Jayhawks meet the Cyclones as a different team. They are looking at the possibility of going to the NCAA Tournament with two more wins. One more win would help Kansas achieve its first 20-win season under Henrickson's direction. If the Jayhawks win their next two games, their conference record will read 8-8 which would mark the first .500 record for a Kansas team under Henrickson.

Wildcats knock off struggling Texas
Senior guard Marisha Brown and freshman guard Diara Moore celebrate after teammate Carolyn Davis hit the winning shot against Iowa State on Feb. 9. The Javhawks hope to repeat that upset of the Cyclones tonight in Ames, Iowa to continue their resurgence in league play.
22
Texas, which looked invicible during its first 11 Big 12 season games, is going the wrong way at the wrong time
March Madness came a few hours early as Texas lost at least a share of its lead of the conference with a 75-70 loss to Kansas State Monday night. Texas has done everything possible to hand Kansas its seventh consecutive Big 12 conference title on a silver platter, losing three of their last four games.
The Wildcats have defeated the Longhorns three consecutive times in Austin.
Texas was in sole possession of first place after its 74-63 victory against Kansas on Jan. 22. All signs pointed to Texas dethroning Kansas, especially after the Jayhawks 84-66 loss to the Wildcats on Valentine's Day.
All Kansas needs to do to clinch at least a share of the conference title is win one of its next two games.

New Mexico beats No.3 BYU in game upset, 82-64
No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament now looks like a long shot for the Cougars
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PROVO, Utah — Phillip McDonald scored 26 points to lead New Mexico to an 82-4 upset of No. 3 BYU on Wednesday night just two days after the Cougars

That looks like a long shot now even though the Cougars still have national player of the year candidate Jimmer Fredette.
The loss left the Cougars (27-3, 13-2 Mountain West) reeling just as they had vaulted into the top five nationally and sought a coveted No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
The Cougars came in averaging 83 points a game and shooting 38 percent from 3-point range. They finished 5 of 26 on 3-pointers in
right combination on the court without Davies.
BYU started 6-foot-10 junior James Anderson in Davies' place but coach Dave Rose quickly went to Plan B and inserted Kyle Collinsworth.
Not much seemed to work as BYU's inside game disappeared. The Cougars made just 8 of 30 shots in the first half and were outbounded 25-14 as the Lobos (19-11, 7-8) took a 42-26 lead.

A three-point play by Charles Abouo pulled BYU within 48-37 with 14:41 left, and Fredette had a chance to cut it even further. But he missed a 3-pointer and McDonald countered with a 3 to bump New Mexico's lead to 51-37. The Lobos' 11-0 run continued with a 3-pointer from Jamal Fenton.
New Mexico, which beat the Cougars 86-77 on Jan. 29, came ready to play from the opening tip.

Continuing the shakeup in the batting lineup
BY ALEC TILSON
atilson@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team scored a season-high five runs in yesterday's win against the Iowa Hawkeyes, all without recording a single extra-base hit.
single extra base inc Coach Ritch Price shook up the top half of the lineup as the Kansas offense continues to search for a consistent combination in the top three of the order.
three of the seniors Brandon Macias, shortstop, and Casey Lyle, rightfielder, essentially swapped the spots they held in their four games this season, with Macias moving to leadoff and Lyle to the three hole.
off and lynx to the ice.
"I was trying to give Macias an opportunity to put him back in the one hole like I did a year ago and see if I could get him some fastballs," Price said, "because he's a really good fastball hitter."
The shakeup in the batting order is more of an experiment than a panic, but the Jayhawks have yet to find their guy who is going to set the table for senior outfielder Jimmy Waters in the cleanup role. Waters, who went 0-3 yesterday, will likely have to provide team's primary source of power.
power. "Until we make some progress with some of our other guys, Waters has got to be the man in the middle of that lineup," Price said.
Much of the offensive production yesterday came from the
bottom third of the lineup
Junior outfielder Jason Brunansky, batting ninth, went 2-2 with a run, had two stolen bases and was hit by a pitch. He also added an RBI when he drew a bases-loaded walk in the fourth inning.
tling.
"We're trying to get him to be more aggressive at the plate and, to be honest, to be more tough," Price said of Brunansky. "A walk or hit by him becomes a double with as good as he's able to run."
"We're going to need to get more two-out hits and execute in the short game," DeLeon said. "We missed a couple buns today, we need to work on that a little more."
with as good as he calls on Calling the game behind the plate, sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon went 2-3 with a run and an RBI, also drawing a walk. He batted eighth and made no excuses for the Jayhawk bats.
The lineup has not seen its last change, something to be expected only four games into a demanding season. Perhaps the highest priority becomes filling that third spot.
ity becomes things that I "may do something tomorrow again." Price said. "I'll probably give [James] Stanfield a chance in the three hole to DH, but certainly right now that's a concern for us is who's going to hit third."

postponed in senate
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton.kansan.com
In an effort to give student senators the chance to better represent their constituents and themselves, the student rights committee drafted a student senator Code of Ethics to be added to the senate rules and regulations.
Student senators are responsible for controlling a $24 million budget. With no current code of conduct or similar ethical code directly related to senate, the student rights committee proposed the bill to provide some accountability for student senators.
Student senate member Brandon Weiderholt, a freshman from Garnett, said he hadn't experienced anything unethical during his time in senate. However, Weiderholt said it would be a good thing to have.
"When you're controlling a budget that big and with that much power, this is definitely a good idea," Widerholt said. "We're trying to make sure students know their senators are being held accountable."
Harris said he felt chief of staff Aaron Dollinger moved to have the bill postponed in order to enable himself more time to look it over because the bill would add more responsibilities to his position.
Student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, is a sponsor of the bill and the driving force behind it. He said throughout the past few years senate didn't have an ideal image.
"I am a little disappointed that it got postponed but its better than being defeated," Harris
SUGGESTED ARTICLE FOR THE STUDENT SENATE CODE OF ETHICS:
1. Members of the Student Senate at the University of Kansas are empowered by the student body to represent student interests both responsibly as well as ethically.
3. Senators are elected by their fellow students. Therefore, it is their duty to pay attention during session to make sure that their constituency is being duly represented.
2. A bill should be voted on for its merit to the student body regardless of the author.
Dollinger said he thought it was necessary to have a document that makes it clear how senators should act and to have the enforcement of the code go through his office because his staff is very knowledgeable of senate rules and regulations.
"I think that it is important that when you have a piece of legislation that directly affects any position you thoroughly go through it," Dollinger said.
said.
The bill will be the first item on the agenda at the next full senate meeting on March 16 in the Kansas room of the Kansas

Some things are worth repeating
MORNING BREW
Sports give us some of the most gutwrenching, heart-pounding, and intense moments that we will ever experience in our lives. They give us some of the most dazzling moments and scintillating stories we will ever see.
They also give us some of the most superb quotes that we will ever hear. Whether out of humor or inspiration, sports fans love to use some of their favorite quotes that they've come across in the sports world.
BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com
Or maybe it's just me that does that. I'd like to think otherwise, though. Whether it's from my favorite sports movies, favorite teams, or favorite moments, I love the quotes that the sports world has given us, and here are some of my favorites:
"Oh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come." — James Earl Jones as Terrance Mann in "Field of Dreams."
I figured we should start with a classic, and what is more classic than James Earl Jones' powerful, low-toned voice delivering the goose-bump-inducing speech telling Ray Kinsella that he should have hope.
"Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion!" — Rudy Tomjanovich after the Rockets defeated the Magic in the 1995 NBA Finals.
This one hits home with me, literally. Being from Houston, and being a lifelong Rockets fan, this quote has always resonated with me. The Rockets, a sixth seed, went on to upset an Orlando Magic team that had 57 wins that year. Tomjanovich's message was and still is inspiring, and the passionate
delivery from "Rudy T" makes this one a classic.
"When you pull on that jersey, you represent yourself and your teammates. And the name on the front is a hell of a lot more important than the one on the back!" and "Great moments are born from great opportunities." — Herb Brooks, coach of the 1980 U.S. "Miracle" gold-winning hockey team.
THE
MORNING
BREW
Brooks was a dreamer and could give hope to even the most cynical person. Brooks managed to get a bunch of collegeaged kids to believe they could beat the best hockey team in the world. Brooks' words are as inspiring and as passion-filled as they come.
"During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me, and in the way I feel about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than 20 million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!" — Rocky Balboa addressing the Soviet Union in "Rocky IV."
The American Hero, Rocky, had just
defeated the steroid-infused Soviet star, Drago, in a boxing bout for the ages. Post-fight, Rocky addresses the Soviet crowd that had managed to become pro-Rocky mid-fight after seeing Rocky take punch after punch without giving in.
"I'll make it" — Jimmy Chitwood in "Hoodiers."
Chitwood, the star of the Hickory Hoosiers, a small-town Indiana high school basketball team, has very few lines in the movie "Hoosiers" but this line from Chitwood brings the movie home. As head coach Norman Dale draws up a last-second play for Hickory in the state title game he decides to use Chitwood as a decoy. Chitwood in a sports-stud manner replies to his coach by telling him he has a different plan. And you know he makes it.
It's March, Jayhawk fans, and I think Hall of Fame Syracuse football coach Ben Schwartzwalder said it best, "To be the best you have to beat the best."

Jayhawks bouncing back with big victory
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team took a small step toward getting back on track, improving to 2-3 with Monday afternoon's 5-2 victory over Iowa at Hoglund Ballpark.
Starting pitcher and anchor of the roation, senior T.J. Walz, took the mound for the third time this season. The senior hurler came into today's game with an underwhelming 0-2 record and an unusually high ERA of 12.71. Walz had also given up an alarming eight earned runs through his first 5.2 innings pitched on the season.
For Walz, the third time was the charm, as he pitched six strong innings, giving up only one run
off of two Hawkeye hits. He also struck out eight Hawkeyes, dropping his ERA down to 6.94.
"I felt a lot more comfortable coming out of the stretch today." Walz said.
While most of his numbers were strong, Walz still continued to struggle with his control. He walked five batters in six innings, and most of his control issues were early in the game as four of those walks came in the first four innings.
"Obviously I'm concerned about the number of walks he's had in two straight outings" coach Ritch Price said. "Certainly his strength has been his ability to locate his fastball and right now he's a little bit elevated in the zone."
With the game tied at 1-1 in
the fourth inning, Walz had to do something to correct his shaky control that was plaguing his performance.
It took a bullpen session while the Jayhawks were batting in the fourth for Walz to get his timing down pitches back over the plate. After the bullpen session, Walz seemed to piece it together and didn't allow a hit while giving up one walk.
The Jayhawks' bats were also able to show their first breath of life in Monday's game. The team had been struggling at the plate batting a collective .146 in its first
"I went and worked on something down in the bullpen in the fourth inning and it seemed to work." Walz said. "It was just a timing issue."
four games while averaging 2.5 runs a game.
Kansas managed to piece together six hits, all singles, to finish with five runs. The Kansas offense got its spark from the bottom of the order, with junior outfielder Jason Brunansky and sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon each getting two hits with one RBI and one run scored.
DeLeon's first hit of the season came at a crucial time in the sixth inning with the Jayhawks looking to add a cushion to their 3-1 lead. He had an RBI single that knocked in junior first baseman Zac Elgie.
"I was just trying to get a fastball up in the zone," DeLeon said. "I just put a good swing on it."
Kansas will try to take its
momentum gathered from Monday's victory to its Tuesday afternoon doubleheader against Southern Utah at Hoglund Ballpark.
Senior Wally Marciel will take the mound in the first game, at 3 p.m. and sophomore Thomas Taylor will be the Jayhawks starter in the second meeting, played 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first.
The Jayhawks, who are beginning a stretch of eight games in ning days, have started their demanding schedule off on the right foot after Monday's victory over Iowa.
"Everyone looks pretty good now; getting it together," DeLeon said.

Seniors' impact on the team will be missed
BILL SELF ON THE THREE GRADUATING SENIORS
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
twitter.com/kansnball
Mario Little
guard
Three seniors, arriving in Kansas at three different times, will play their final game together at Allen Fieldhouse on Wednesday night against Texas A&M.
Brady Morningstar guard
"I think with Mario, this guy came in as a very heralded player. Then he had to have a rod put in his leg and fight through injuries and some obstacles. He's a team guy. He's my kind of guy. Mario is a tough winner."
Tyrel Reed guard
Brady Morningstar arrived in 2006 after two years at New Hampton Prep in New Hampshire and Tyrel Reed came a year later from Burlington High School. They are the only two members of this team that were a part of the 2008 National Championship team. In fall 2009, Mario Little joined the Jayhawks after two years at Chipola College in Marianna, Fla.
"He has basically been, even though he has been a sixth man, a three year starter for us. He started all the games as a sophomore and some as a junior and senior, so he's been great."
"Tyrel came in as a nervous kid. Really nervous around me and didn't get me at all for awhile. As he's matured and developed I think he's one of the most fun kids to be around."
"To me senior night is a celebration of three guys' careers," Self said. "One game does not capture what their careers have been. At Kansas that's one of the great things we have here and one of the great things we do tradition-wise."
All three players have different roles, and the contributions they made in their time will certainly be missed. Self said that Morningstar has been great, and even though he is the sixth man, he has essentially been a three-year starter.
"We're not going to look at it negatively, we're going to look at it as, 'senior night is going to give us an extra boost,' rather than let it take away from anything."
"I'll miss Brady a ton because he's as much as the personality of the team as anyone is." Self said.
Self never thought that Morningstar and Reed would be this good.
"They've been great," Self said. "When you recruit, it's such an
inexact science."
"The story been told, he decided to go to prep-school and then I tried and got with his family and I said, 'You sure you want to go to prep-school? Can't you just come now?' after studying him some more." Self said. And look where he is now.
During the recruitment process, Morningstar lived down the street from Self, but never received a house visit from the coach. Self said he was being recruited by a lot of mid-maidens.
Reed had offers from Missouri, Kansas State and Oklahoma. Self said he hesitated in offering Reed a scholarship but finally decided to go for it because "ne's such a good kid and hed be great for the program."
Self has seen huge improvements in their development since Reed
Self said that Reed was a nervous freshman when he first arrived in Lawrence. Reed agreed, saying that he didn't know how to approach or joke with coach. Self said that as Reed has matured, he has become one of the most fun people to be around.
and Morningstar first got here. He said that it is at the point where if Morningstar and Reed don't perform well, the team doesn't win
"Growing up as a coach's son, I'd always faced a little yelling in my life," Reed said. "It never really affected me, I was always used to it. When I got here, I wouldn't say that the yelling got to me too much. I didn't know how to respond to it as much, not being my dad. I couldn't take it with a grain of salt; I held on to things. Coach Self doesn't hang
Neither Morningstar nor Reed would change a thing about the decision to come to Kansas. For Morningstar, he grew up in this town and always wanted to play for the Jayhawks. He said he is excited for Wednesday; he's been waiting for it.
Little, too, is excited for senior night.
Little came from Chipola as a highly touted scorer. He faced adversity from injuries to the suspension in December, but Self likes Little and says that he is a team player.
on to things. He'll say what he wants
to say and then it's over with. He can
joke with you the next play."
"Mario's role is to give us a boost off the bench, and to score if need be. He will certainly try his hardest to oblige. He also gives us an
element of toughness too," he said.
Little doesn't know what his emotions will be Wednesday night. He said he might be happy or sad, he doesn't know, but he is going to embrace it.
For Morningstar, it'll definitely be an emotional experience.
Self has joked about Little "clipping" off shots whenever he touches the ball, but that was his mentality for so long. Little says he doesn't focus on scoring any more; he just worries about playing hard on the defensive end and getting his teammates open looks.
"You should be sad," Morningstar said. "All good things must come to an end. This one's coming to an end."

COMMENTARY

Senior night memories endure
THE NORTH FACE
BY GEOFFERY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com
Senior night is the best regular season game of the year, because it's our last chance to show the senior class how much we appreciate all they have done for Jayhawk basketball. It's a poignant night because the focus is not on the seniors earning another victory, but instead it's about the fans giving the seniors a proper send-off, showing their gratitude and love for the players and all they've done.
This year is memorable because two of the seniors are from Kansas: Tyrel Reed, from Burlington, and Brady Morningstar, from Lawrence.
But senior night is more than just a game. Senior night is the pregame and postgame. Two senior nights in particular stand out. The first is 2005, the class that included Michael Lee, Keith Langford, Aaron Miles, and Wayne Simien, the lifelong Jayhawk fan from Leavenworth.
The speeches that night were special as well. Darnell Jackson spoke about his family members who had died while he was at KU, and how Bill Self was the one who got him through that tough time and convinced him that Jayhawk Nation loved him and was there to support him. Robinson is appreciated for the maturation he underwent in his four years at KU. As a freshman, Robinson hated Lawrence and wanted to transfer back home to New York. But he obviously stuck it out, and came to regard Lawrence as a second home.
In this instance the game was as memorable as the celebration of the night. Case entered the game, missed a couple of three-pointers, and decided not to shoot anymore. Well, all of the other seniors had scored and no one was going to have Case end his final home game scoreless. As the second half clock wound down, Case's teammates and the 16,300 fans packing the Fieldhouse kept imploring Case to shoot. He finally did, unleashing a three-pointer that was good. Case then made two more three-pointers to the delight of the crowd.
It was unforgettable how Simien took the microphone and said, "I'm going to go ahead and apologize right now. Get comfortable, because I've been waiting for this my whole life"
He then proceeded to talk for 25 minutes, and fans hung on every word he said.
As Mario Little, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed prepare to play their final home game, the truth is that no matter where they were born or raised, there's no place like home, and that house is Lawrence.
Although Lee and Miles were from Portland, and Langford was from Fort Worth, Texas, by the time senior night came, the foursome was beloved by Jayhawk Nation like they were all homegrown products. That's what makes senior night at Kansas truly special — each member of a senior class is cheered for as if he was born and raised in Allen Fieldhouse.
The other memorable senior class is the class of 2008. Yes, they won the NCAA title, but that's not the only reason to remember them. The 2008 class consisted of Jeremy Case, Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun, Russell Robinson, Rodrick Stewart and Brad Witherspoon. Case, Jackson, Kaun and Robinson stood out in particular. They had all been at KU for four years, and Case had been here for five.

EDITION NO.1E
My freshman year of college seems like a lifetime ago, five years to be exact. I was living in the dorms and becoming acquainted with Lawrence and its culture. I immediately noticed the local and national music scene that dominated Massachusetts St. on the weekends. Coming from a city where live music was widely available, I was surprised and intrigued that a "small" town could have such a thriving interest in the arts and also happened to be a stop on many national tours. I was particularly fascinated by KJHK, which played music that I loved but never imagined hearing on the radio.
Without a car, I would often take a leisurely stroll across campus on my way downtown. On one of these walks, I spotted an acquaintance and stopped to talk to him. He was on his way to a KJHK meeting at the Union and mentioned that he was going to sign up for a DJ rotation slot. I decided to tag along and see if I could do the same.
The meeting was brief and we quickly signed our names onto the schedule. I managed to get the coveted 3 a.m. time slot.
JONATHAN HERMES | ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Check out Lindsey's feature on page 8 about JKHJ and its relationship to Lawrence. It's an interesting read that reminded me of the short time I spent at KJHK. It's an important slice of Lawrence culture and I am happy to have good memories associated with it. Signing off...
I figured I could give up several hours of sleep to play music to a town in slumber. And so my brief radio career began.
My first night of training gave me the opportunity to do voice-over work for KJHK advertising and allowed me to explore what seemed like an endless amount of music from all eras of KJHK's history. I fell in love with the Shack and its walls cluttered with fliers and posters marking the hey-day of '80s punk and '90s indie rock. It felt like home — the kind of place I spent most of my teenage years watching shitty bands screaming into broken microphones.
On my first night, I made the trek to the Shack from the dorms. I was excited knowing that I would have complete control over the music for the next two hours. I quickly browsed the enormous selection of albums while the DJ before me finished up his set. He signed off and then turned to me and said, "It's all yours." Indeed it was. I had the entire Shack to myself. I quickly played through tracks by Black Flag, Black Dice and Red House Painters, bands you might never hear side by side, let alone on the radio.

Perture, alcohol and sweat pervade the air. Students drink colorful liquids from water bottles or sneak sips from cans of Busch Light and Keystone hidden beneath jackets. The group, stacked body upon body, begins an impromptu rendition of the national anthem followed by the Rock Chalk chant. One couple makes out, trying to steady themselves against the wall. This is everything one imagines as a college party at the University of Kansas ... and it's on wheels.

2011, SafeBus recorded 37,283 rides, a 70 percent increase from the 21,999 rides recorded during the corresponding time period last school year.
"The numbers have been quite surprising," said Derek Meier, transport coordinator for KU on Wheels. Meier explained that the large growth in ridership was because of the restructuring of routes.

postponed in senate
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com
In an effort to give student senators the chance to better represent their constituents and themselves, the student rights committee drafted a student senator Code of Ethics to be added to the senate rules and regulations.
Student senate member Brandon Weiderholt, a freshman from Garnett, said he hadn't experienced anything unethical during his time in senate. However, Weiderholt said it would be a good thing to have.
"When you're controlling a budget that big and with that much power, this is definitely a good idea," Widerholt said. "We're trying to make sure students know their senators are being held accountable."
Student senators are responsible for controlling a $24 million budget. With no current code of conduct or similar ethical code directly related to senate, the student rights committee proposed the bill to provide some accountability for student senators.
Harris said he felt chief of staff Aaron Dollinger moved to have the bill postponed in order to enable himself more time to look it over because the bill would add more responsibilities to his position.
Student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, is a sponsor of the bill and the driving force behind it. He said throughout the past few years senate didn't have an ideal image.
"I am a little disappointed that it got postponed but its better than being defeated," Harris
1. Members of the Student Senate at the University of Kansas are empowered by the student body to represent student interests both responsibly as well as ethically.
SUGGESTED ARTICLE FOR THE STUDENT SENATE CODE OF ETHICS:
2. A bill should be voted on for its merit to the student body regardless of the author.
3. Senators are
3. Senators are elected by their fellow students. Therefore, it is their duty to pay attention during session to make sure that their constituency is being duly represented.
said.
Dollinger said he thought it was necessary to have a document that makes it clear how senators should act and to have the enforcement of the code go through his office because his staff is very knowledgeable of senate rules and regulations.
The bill will be the first item on the agenda at the next full senate meeting on March 16 in the Kansas room of the Kansas
"I think that it is important that when you have a piece of legislation that directly affects any position you thoroughly go through it," Dollinger said.

Chinese students are finding a home at the University of Kansas
WWW.KANSAN.COM
During the last five years, the number of international students from China has risen almost three-fold. Among the four countries most international students at the University come from, China is the only one that has sent significantly more students recently. According to a recent study by the Institute of International Education, the number of Chinese students at U.S.universities has increased by 30 percent between 2008 and 2009. Overall, Chinese students make up 18 percent of all students at U.S.universities.

Reasons for the sudden increase at KU according to Dr. Joe Potts, director of International Student and Scholar Services 1. A new booming middle class in China has allowed families to send their kids abroad for education.
2. KU has a reputation for providing a low cost of living, a safe environment and a reasonable cost for education.
3. The internet allows the families to track rankings of American schools. Rankings show KU as a good school.

Amid budget woes,
the possibility
of
privatization
Aaron Harris/KANSAN
Harry Chin, a Lawrence resident, cleans up in the Parlor Room in the Kansas Union Tuesday evening. The Board of Regents is considering privatizing janitorial services and other university functions.
State may outsource functions to private companies
BY TAYLOR WILLIAMSON twilliamson@kansan.com
Last week, the Kansas House Appropriations Committee passed a resolution to research the possibility of privatizing functions at universities across the state.
the motion, which state representative Joe McLeland (R-Wichita) proposed, calls for the Kansas Board of Regents to investigate whether some university functions such as janitorial services and dorm management should be outsourced to private companies.
The push to privatize is one of many cost-cutting moves proposed during the new legislative session. In addition to potentially saving money,privatization would also offer potential job opportunities to local companies in need of the business.
Diana Robertson, director of the
Department of Student Housing, said the measures would not affect housing financially.
"First of all, monetary-wise, state funding does not affect us. We receive all of our money from student living contracts,"

came to enter politics and become an attorney general. He talked about growing up in Independence as the son of a small businessman and a homemaker.
"I still have some coursework to do that I didn't finish before I got elected attorney general," Schmidt said jokingly.
His talk was light on law and heavy on life experience. Schmidt, who took office on Jan. 10, told his life story and described how he
"There is nothing in my background that would suggest I would have the chance to serve as an
attorney general," he said.
Schmidt emphasized the importance of embracing coincidence, crediting his success to a willingness to keep his options open and work hard. He told how, while living in JRP Hall, he was annoyed by a prankster who repeatedly
set off fire alarms late at night in cold weather, driving the young Schmidt and other residents out into the night. In response, Schmidt wrote an angry open letter that fell into the hands of an editor At The

KANSAS IN HEAT // THREE IN THE BEDROOM
Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn. graduate student, and Michelle MacBain, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, are the hosts of Kansas in Heart, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on KJHK.
90.71m and at kjHK.org.
> Tackle the sticky world of relationships.
Q. My girlfriend and I are new to opening up our relationship and wanted some advice. We're both cool with having other people join in sex, but only certain people. She's cool with having a guy join us, but not a girl. I'm cool with having a girl join us, but not a guy. We're kind of stuck. I haven't been able to convince her to let me bring in a girl. What would you do?
brides es
A. I don't think threesomes strengthen a romantic relationship, but there are exceptions. Some couples can use a third person to jump-start the passion. My advice to you is be patient. Try to incorporate sexual exploration in other areas. The more she sees how beneficial sexual variety can be, the more open she will be to your idea.
// MIKE ANDERSON
Engaging in sexual exploration is special and intimate, because it means you trust that person enough to try something he or she hasn't done with anybody else. That kind of first can strengthen a bond between two people. So be patient. She might not be interested now, but she might be later.
more open she will be to you I think most people are hesitant to try most sexual acts that individuals consider "taboo." Over time, people will become more open to the idea as their relationship gets stronger.
Jennifer
A. I do not recommend inviting a third party into a committed, monogamous relationship. Jealousy, anxiety, miscommunication, confusion, hurt and more can occur after allowing a friend or stranger into your bedroom. I only support a threesome between three (or more) independent, single and consenting individuals.
I don't think she wants the threesome. If she does, she would welcome either gender. You will never "convince" her to allow another woman in the bedroom.
Approach her again with the idea. Agree to the male third, and gage her reaction. If she's timid and backtracks, she never wanted the threesome.
wanted the uneasiness.
But she toyed with the idea, meaning she is invested in your sexual relationship. Why not allow another man or woman in the bedroom in the form of pornography?

HOW WE MET // STEPHANIE CASTOR & STEFANIE PETROZZ All great relationships had to start somewhere.
> All great relationships had to start
Romance crept into the lives of Stephanie Castor and Stefanie Petrozz at the Creepy Coming Out Ball their freshman year at Columbia College in Chicago. Castor had painted half her face with random designs, and Petrozz had dressed up with Phantom of the Opera in mind. Castor was with friends when she spotted Petrozz across the room.
"I told my friend, Hayden, 'Oh my God... the first hot girl at Columbia," Castor, Santa Monica, Calif., junior. says. To Castor's surprise, Hayden knew Petrozz and led Castor across the room to introduce her. Petrozz and Castor talked for a while at the ball, but sparks began to fly when the two unknowingly attended the same after-party.
"I had been drinking at the party before I saw Steph, but when I realized she doesn't drink, I stopped drinking just so I could talk to her all night." Petrozz says.
At the end of the night, Hayden, the couple's mutual friend, convinced Castor to reveal her poetic side to Petrozz. Castor was nervous about Petrozz's reaction, but she knew that performing her slam poem would show Petrozz who she really is.

staircase and pulled my hair," Petrozz says. "I was impressed."
Unfortunately, the timing of their newfound chemistry wasn't ideal; Castor planned to move to Kansas a few months later, and the two worried about the stress of a long-distance relationship.
After several months apart and a couple visits to Lawrence, Petrozz decided to shorten the distance between them. She left Chicago and moved in with Castor in August 2009. She is now taking culinary classes at Johnson County Community College and still living with Castor.

Pertume, alcohol and sweat pervade the air. Students drink colorful liquids from water bottles or sneak sips from cans of Busch Light and Keystone hidden beneath jackets. The group, stacked body upon body, begins an impromptu rendition of the national anthem followed by the Rock Chalk chant. One couple makes out, trying to steady themselves against the wall. This is everything one imagines as a college party at the University of Kansas ... and it's on wheels.

postponed in senate
Student senators are responsible for controlling a $24 million budget. With no current code of conduct or similar ethical code directly related to senate, the student rights committee proposed the bill to provide some accountability for student senators.
"When you're controlling a budget that big and with that much power, this is definitely a good idea," Widerholt said. "We're trying to make sure students know their senators are being held accountable."
Student senate member Brandon Weiderholt, a freshman from Garnett, said he hadn't experienced anything unethical during his time in senate. However, Weiderholt said it would be a good thing to have.
In an effort to give student senators the chance to better represent their constituents and themselves, the student rights committee drafted a student senator Code of Ethics to be added to the senate rules and regulations.
Harris said he felt chief of staff Aaron Dollinger moved to have the bill postponed in order to enable himself more time to look it over because the bill would add more responsibilities to his position.
"I am a little disappointed that it got postponed but its better than being defeated," Harris
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton.kansan.com
Student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, is a sponsor of the bill and the driving force behind it. He said throughout the past few years senate didn't have an ideal image.
3. Senators are elected by their fellow students. Therefore, it is their duty to pay attention during session to make sure that their constituency is being duly represented.
The bill will be the first item on the agenda at the next full senate meeting on March 16 in the Kansas room of the Kansas
"I think that it is important that when you have a piece of legislation that directly affects any position you thoroughly go through it," Dollinger said.
SUGGESTED ARTICLE FOR THE STUDENT SENATE CODE OF ETHICS:
1. Members of the Student Senate at the University of Kansas are empowered by the student body to represent student interests both responsibly as well as ethically.
Dollinger said he thought it was necessary to have a document that makes it clear how senators should act and to have the enforcement of the code go through his office because his staff is very knowledgeable of senate rules and regulations.
2. A bill should be voted on for its merit to the student body regardless of the author.

Love Garden Sounds, 822 Massachusetts St., buys, sells and trades vinyl, compact discs, tapes and stereo equipment. Love Garden Sounds is the only primary music retailer in downtown Lawrence.
Lone downtown music retailer continues serving sonic pleasure
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Mickey tiptoes from M to F as you flip through Funkadelic. Sam nestles in the corner plant, then crawls to his next nap at Z.
The cats at Love Garden Sounds on 822 Massachusetts St. relax, while Steve Reich's "Six Marimba" chimes from the walls. Crate diggers square dance from Aylor to Zappa.
"That's all I've been doing for the past winter," said Ian Shelton, a record shopper from Wichita, with "Organix" by The Roots in his hand.
This is what 21 years of catering sonic pleasure to the people looks like.
"You'll get to find out exactly what you're looking for, hone it down to things you want to spend your money on, meet a few people in the process and find out about a thing you didn't know," said owner Kelly Corcoran of his record store.
Borders, 700 New Hampshire St., which sells compact discs, is one of 200 underperforming stores expected to close by the end of April, according to a Feb.17 press release. Kief's Downtown Music is no longer downtown, following a move from 823 Massachusetts St. to 2429 Iowa St. in June. As a buyer, seller and trader of vinyl, compact discs, tapes and stereo equipment, Love Garden Sounds, a primary music retailer, stands alone in downtown Lawrence.
LAST FIVE ITEMS CORCORAN PLAYED AT HOME
1. "Pakistan: Folk and Pop Instrumentals, 1966-76" by Various Artists (Sublime Frequencies)
"Obscure second and third world music that I have no concept of, but they do a really good job of giving you context. This is how this label existed, how these artists existed, who put out these records and what the scene was like at the time. That kind of stuff is invaluable."
2. "Love's Gone Bad" by Chris Clark (Motown 1967)
3. "21" by Adele (XL, Columbia 2010)
"She's somebody who understands the depth of pop-song-writing or at least is aspiring to that, instead of a simple indie tablature."
4. "The Waves" by Tamaryn (Mexican Summer 2010)
"They're great little emotional pop-songs ditched somewhere within this gloomy aesthetic. I generally fall pretty hard for that kind of thing."
5. "Sons of Northern Darkness" by Immortal (Nuclear Blast 2002)
"Serious black-metal dudes, you know? I don't listen to a ton of metal, but when I do, kind of go on jags where Ill listen to a bunch of it."
"Bottom line," said Wake Mitchell. Love Garden employee, "We've created a really strong social network here that has kept the store afloat."
The store moved from its original location at 936 1/2 Massachusetts St. in October 2009. No longer do patrons creep up creaky stairs, swallowed by hundreds of LP sleeves, to find their upstairs oasis. Yet the lore, the space, the cats and the scholarly staff remain.
"They're the experts in the field," said Doug Davison, record shopper from Vinland, "So we wander in and learn something."
Corcoran said there's no threshold of music knowledge required to work at the store.
"The staff here figures shit out because they're here," he said. "We're always talking about records."

New student group's strategy Go green to save some green
KSI
CAMPUS
BY KELSEY RICHARDSON krichardson@kansan.com
Justin Christian, a freshman from Topeka and president of Kansas Sustainability Initiative. "Our goal is to have 100 members by the end of the week."
KSI will begin working on a long-term project called the Revolving Green Fund next semester. The organization will invest in green technology that will be fiscally sound, so it will give the University back a good rate
"What happens is the University will pay back the organization however much money that has
been saved each month, until it's paid off," Christian said. "Then the University gets that savings immediately."
The organization will then get back the money that it has invested, so it can invest in another alternative energy or green project. The student group is based off of a Harvard University research program called the Sustainability Science Program, which launched in 1999.
"We hope to create a change of perspective for students and the community when it comes to green awareness and to save KU a lot of money," Christian said.
A new student group at the University, the Kansas Sustainability Initiative, formed about two weeks ago. KSI aims to save the University money through sustainable energy and green projects. The group will be visiting scholarship halls, dorms, fraternities and sororites to recruit members this week.
"KSI currently has 35 members, and during our kickoff week we hope to double, or even triple our membership,"

his client is sober and ready to work, but that CBS and Warner Bros. shut it down last week "in retaliation for your show runner (Lorre) being criticized"
The letter threatens the companies with a lawsuit if Sheen isn't paid the full amount for his deal that expires in May 2012. Sheen
— whose entry into rehforced the series into hiatus last month — called Lorre "a clown" last week.
Singer wrote that his client was simply responding to Lorre's own putdowns.
"Mr. Lorre has repeatedly made negative and derogatory comments about our client and harassed Mr. Sheen on the set," Singer wrote.
Spokesmen for Warner Bros. and CBS confirmed that they received the letter but declined to comment further.

LOS ANGELES — Former Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, a veteran Washington insider, is Hollywood's new chief lobbyist.
Former Sen. named new MPAA executive
The Motion Picture Assn. of America said Tuesday that Dodd will become the new chief executive of the MPAA, the lobbying arm for the main studios that also oversees the film ratings system.
Dodd succeeds Dan Glickman, a former Kansas congressman and Secretary of Agriculture, who stepped down after five years.
The MPAA's board is counting on the one-time U.S. presidential hopeful to restore some of the clout that the organization had during the four decades it was run by the legendary Jack Valenti, the former aide to President Lyndon Johnson, who turned the lobbyist's role into a starring turn.

Levinson, along with other health experts, has questioned the study because of the lack of peer review and lack of publication in any research.

Waking up with a hangover is never a pleasant experience. Your body hurts, you're unbearable and unquenchably thirsty, and worst of all, your stomach feels like a violent battlefield.
But believe it or not, the next few hours are actually more pleasant if you've got some food in your stomach. Otherwise, you'll likely end up vomiting your own stomach bile. "Anyone is likely to vomit bile if they do a great deal of vomiting," Ann Chapman, registered dietitian at Watkins Health Center, says.

for the next few days. No sayns For those who haven't had such an experience, stomach bile is a bitter greenish to yellowish substance that aids the digestive process. It's definitely something you want to keep inside you. "It's never a good thing and indicates dehydration at the least," Chapman says.
So if you want to avoid a good look at your own bile, make sure to eat something before you pass out on your buddy's couch. Or, better yet, limit the number of drinks you have while you're out at the bars. Otherwise, you could have a morning similar to Scaggs'.
"The rest of the day I had a hangover that would rival Charlie Sheen's," he says. "I just had no energy whatsoever."

While houseplants may differ in size, shape and color, they all possess the ability to generate moisture, absorb toxins and release negative ions as long as you remember to water them.
as well as psychological benefits for their owner. In spite of the many benefits for owning plants, few students have them. "I don't have any plants in my room because they usually die when I'm taking care of them," Arshia Ahmed, Wichita freshman, says.
MOISTURE MACHINE
Temperatures hovering near 20 F the past few weeks have forced furnaces to work around the clock to keep us warm. While heat is essential to our ability to survive this brutal winter, one adverse effect to having heat continuously flowing through the vents is that it removes moisture from the air, leaving your house, apartment or dorm room feeling dry. "The air in Ellsworth is pretty stale; some students have to use humidifiers in their rooms," Ahmed says.
Studies have shown breathing dry air is a potential health hazard that can lead to respiratory ailments and dehydration because of depleting body fluids during respiration. In addition to respiratory concern, a dry environment can cause skin irritation. During
winter, human skin goes into hibernation, causing it to generate new skin cells at a lower rate. "When you turn on the heat for your house it dries skin out even more, sometimes leading to eczema, a medical condition in which skin becomes inflamed and must be treated by a physician," Shawn Allen, doctor and assistant clinical professor for the University of Colorado's dermatology department, says.
Although Allen does not prescribe his patients to purchase plants as a form of treatment, he admits that any way you can add moisture to your home or apartment during the winter is good for the skin.
One by-product of a plant's water cycle is the emission of water vapor. This process, called transpiration, occurs through the stomata (a collection of openings on the underside of the foliage), and can release between 200 to 900 mL of water vapor in a 24-hour period. B.C. Wolverton, author of Eco-Friendly Houseplants, found that during the winter months an Areca palm (Chrysalidocarpus), when kept at 73 F, could emit 900 mL of water vapor a day.
A LITTLE GREEN CAN LIFT YOUR SPIRITS
During the winter months an estimated 10 to 20 percent of people suffer from a mild form of winter blues, otherwise known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Symptoms of SAD

include depression, anxiety and loss of energy. Ahmed admits she sometimes feels like she has winter blues. "The sorberness of winter makes me just want to crawl back into bed most mornings," she says.
In nature, airflow friction, falling water and plants are sources that create ions. The negative ions formed by the falling water of a waterfall causes a feeling of elation when someone stands near the waterfall. When the ions reach the bloodstream they produce a biochemical reaction that increases serotonin levels. Plants form negative ions through the emission of water vapors during transpiration.
A Columbia University study conducted by Michael Terman, a Ph.D. professor of clinical psychology, found negative-ion therapy proved to be as effective against SAD as antidepressants, such as Prozac and Zoloft, without the side effects.
BIOLOGICAL BEATDOWN
Another benefit of owning houseplants is their ability to remove toxins from the air through a process called metabolic breakdown. When a plant transpires water vapor from its leaves, it absorbs air around the roots. The roots use the toxins in the air as a source of food, giving the plant energy. The leaves help remove toxins like benzene and formaldehyde from the atmosphere.
Research has also shown, in some cases, the soil is capable of removing more pollutants than the plant itself, says Craig Martin, a University of Kansas professor who specializes in ecological plant physiology. "The research that indicates the soil removes more pollutants than the plant itself suggest that pollutants are likely removed from the air by absorption, by sticking to the outer surfaces of the plant and by the surfaces of soil particles," Martin says.
Maybe, like Ahmed, you kill plants faster than Hexxus, the toxic destroyer of FernGully. Maybe your past experiences with plants have always involved a lighter. In either case, with spring just around the corner, now may be the time to turn over a new leaf. Jp

Student senators are responsible for controlling a $24 million budget. With no current code of conduct or similar ethical code directly related to senate, the student rights committee proposed the bill to provide some accountability for student senators.
"When you're controlling a budget that big and with that much power, this is definitely a good idea," Widerholt said. "We're trying to make sure students know their senators are being held accountable."
postponed in senate
In an effort to give student senators the chance to better represent their constituents and themselves, the student rights committee drafted a student senator Code of Ethics to be added to the senate rules and regulations.
Harris said he felt chief of staff Aaron Dollinger moved to have the bill postponed in order to enable himself more time to look it over because the bill would add more responsibilities to his position.

Student senate member Brandon Weiderholt, a freshman from Garnett, said he hadn't experienced anything unethical during his time in senate. However, Weiderholt said it would be a good thing to have.
"I am a little disappointed that it got postponed but its better than being defeated," Harris
Student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, is a sponsor of the bill and the driving force behind it. He said throughout the past few years senate didn't have an ideal image.
SUGGESTED ARTICLE FOR THE STUDENT SENATE CODE OF ETHICS:
The bill will be the first item on the agenda at the next full senate meeting on March 16 in the Kansas room of the Kansas
Dollinger said he thought it was necessary to have a document that makes it clear how senators should act and to have the enforcement of the code go through his office because his staff is very knowledgeable of senate rules and regulations.

senators are elected by their fellow students. Therefore, it is their duty to pay attention during session to make sure that their constituency is being duly represented.
1. Members of the Student Senate at the University of Kansas are empowered by the student body to represent student interests both responsibly as well as ethically.
"I think that it is important that when you have a piece of legislation that directly affects any position you thoroughly go through it," Dollinger said.

'Take Charge' challenges students to save energy and beat K-State
Kansas communities began the Take Charge Challenge, a competition to save energy across the state, on Jan. 29.
The challenge carries with it the promise of $100,000 to the city that saves the most money by cutting down on energy costs. There are four different regions, each competing against neighboring communities for their own $100,000.
Lawrence's opponents are our friends in the "Little Angle" Manhattan.
The challenge's goal is to motivate students to be more energy efficient.
Turning off the lights in a room you're napping in is a good start. However, the challenge offers more ideas for you to save
The four steps to success suggested on the Take Charge homepage are simple enough, but so far not enough students have heeded the call to go green.
money, as well as the ability to generate money for Lawrence.
As of today, Manhattan is in the lead. After the men's basketball team's loss to K-State, do we really want to give them more bragging rights?
Let's transfer our historic, in-state dominance into the green frontier. The strategy is simple: A Lawrence win could be assured if every student switched two light bulbs in their residence from a standard bulb to an energy efficient compact
fluorescent bulb.
These energy efficient bulbs can be found in virtually every grocery and superstore in Lawrence. For instance, Walmart sells individual bulbs for anywhere between $10-20 a piece, depending on wattage. Target even boasts five-pack prices as low as $18. They're a bit more expensive, but the energy efficient light bulbs last 10 times longer than regular ones.
Once you've changed your bulbs, log onto www.takechargekansas.org and sign up for an account. After a mere 30 seconds, you're ready to update your changes
On average, each bulb changed saves about 89, which begins to add up after a
while. The benefit of winning the challenge allows the city to receive a $100,000 to put toward "an energy efficiency or renewable energy community project," according to lawrenceks.org.
Plus, we can't let the Wildcats win again.
This challenge is an opportunity for students and residents alike to help spur the awareness of renewable energy and energy efficiency.

HUMAN RIGHTS
Recent human trafficking bust raises concern for progress of women's rights
"Baby101 not use Thailand surrogacy mother. The protection of the law is absolutely. Hundred percent peace of mind you have no worries."
This is the first thing that pops up when you go to the website www. baby-1001.com. This, however, is not what the immigration department is saving about the group.
Investigators found 14 Vietnamese women held captive in two houses to breed children for sale last month when the human trafficking ring was busted.
Out of the 14 women, seven were pregnant. Nearly 40 women are pictured as surrogate options on the website, identified only by a numbered code. Investigators say there is evidence many of them were raped.
Nine of the rescued women said they joined the ring because they were offered $5,000 for each child; four said they were tricked. Either way, they were not allowed to leave once they entered the program.
The ordering process is simple; the couple can simply pick among an array of women, then decide if they want either the egg or sperm to come from the purchasing parents. Each child costs $32,000, plus some additional costs.
The website goes through the reassurances of hiring a surrogate mother, with emphasis on the shame that follows infertility in Asian culture.
The website assures that prospective parents can "create the finest procreation condition for your baby, mainly through the efficient embryo refining, only the superior left for implanting. For this, your kids will acquire the vantage point initially in their life and you will absolutely be pride of them in the future."
If you forgive the bad translation, you get the point.

To "volunteer" to be a mother you just have to fill out a simple, 16-question application consisting of basic name, age, number questions, then questions about eyes, whether they are double-fold eyelids or single fold, and if the mother has any genetic, severe or infectious diseases.
I won't even go into the disease thing, but it's scary that not only is a company selling babies, but possibly sick babies, especially when they are so adamant on their website about these children being almost superhuman with the best breeding and selection possible.
The distinction on the type of eyes a mother has is another racial concern. Women who have double-fold eyelids are seen as superior or more attractive in many Eastern cultures. (The double fold is the fold of skin on the bottom of the top eyelid on non-Asians.)
Even though women' rights have come a long way in the past 50 years, if this company, the recent "Rachel Maddow Show" about abortion shot at The Free State Brewing Co. or the Republican attempt to redefine rape has shown us anything, it is that there is still a lot of work to be done.

GUEST COLUMN
Cultural 'need' to consume destroying the planet
Recently, I followed my friend's link on Facebook and discovered the North Pacific Trash Vortex.
For decades, plastics and toxic sludge from the U.S. and Japan have been drifting together. Now, the expanse of contaminated ocean covers an area twice the size of Texas. Worse, this plastic trash does not biodegrade into simpler elements. It just breaks down into tinier bits of plastic.
I wanted to tell everyone about the trash vortexes, but they already knew. The story had aired on TV at least two years earlier. I was still in the dark because I don't have a TV (thanks to Hulu and Netflix), and no one was talking about the trash vortexes.
Animals and their young are dying when they ingest or swim in it. It turns out there are several trash vortexes around the world.
After hearing the stunning report, everyone had just gone on with their lives. They went on buying plastic and throwing it away. They went on buying produce grown with pesticides and herbicides whose dangerous constituent chemicals come from developing countries where toxic by-products are routinely dumped into waterways. They went on buying goods whose production requires deforestation, pollution and exploitation of natural resources in less developed countries.
I think I know why. This kind of information paralyzes us into inaction. We keep buying and driving because we're dependent: We think we need these things.
The trash vortexes are major indications that our everyday lives are killing the planet. The news should shock us into change.
The bigger problem is that after graduation we'll have more money for the things we want. We'll take plane trips around the world, buy more clothing and get cool tech gadgets. We're not on a course to consuming less; we're at school
It hasn't. As always, we shut out the information.
so we can earn and consume more.
The information about the consequences of our lifestyle is overwhelming. So, we push the knowledge away and stay the course. We pretend it isn't happening.
But it is happening. We must realize that our actions are destroying Earth and killing its inhabitants (including ourselves). We must overcome our paralysis.
Wes Jackson, a renowned sustainable agriculturalist, says that our generation has a great responsibility: We must change the destructive course set by our ancestors and taught to us by our parents. He says that to save the world and our species, we must change our minds about what we think we need.
What do we actually need? The 2009 London World Happiness Survey showed that one of the poorest nations of the world, Bangladesh, is the happiest nation.
The U.S. is the second-wealthiest nation, but only the 46th happiest. The
point is this: We live by a philosophy of "consume-and-be-happy." We think that if we buy the next Apple gadget, stylish clothes, a nicer car or even if we just eat a good cookie, we'll finally be happy.
This quest for satisfaction-by-stuff has, at least, left me wanting more. It is clearly destroying our ecosystems. We have discovered massive lagoons of trash and toxic chemicals. We're even worried we'll run out of the basics like drinkable water and breathable air.
We can stop this. If we find a source for lasting satisfaction and happiness, we can be freed from the urge to consume. Then, maybe we will need less stuff, buy less plastic and less plastic will end up in the trash vortexes. If we can make changes in how we think about what we really need, we can start to change and possibly rescue our world.

HOW KJHK 90.7 DRIVES THE LOCAL MUSIC SCENE AND
FITS INTO THE CULTURE OF COLLEGE RADIO
// LINDSEY DEITER
Imagine this. The end of the spring semester is drawing near and classes are quickly winding down. Finals are looming darkly on the horizon, research papers are stacking up and stress and stimulant levels are at an all-time high. It's nearing 6 a.m. and Becky Sullivan has been up since before 4 a.m., but not doing homework. For the past two hours, she's been broadcasting her weekly DJ show on KJHK 90.7.
Sullivan broadcasted Tuesday mornings 4 to 6 a.m. in the spring of 2009, in one of the early morning time slots reserved for rookie DJs.
"I always thought, 'Nobody is listening now, right?"
Wrong. During one of her last sets of that semester, Sullivan got a surprising call — from the milkman. "He called and told me that every morning from 2 to 6 a.m. when he was out delivering milk, he always listened to KJHK, and that my show was one of his all-time favorites," she says. "It was awesome."
Dan Cook, a KU and KJHK alumnus and Lawrence resident, remembers a similar memorable occasion while he was on staff at KJHK in the nineties. Another DJ approached him one day and said, "Guess who called up to the station? Wayne Coynel!" Coyne, who is
It's things like that that keep students on the airwaves at all hours of the night, Sullivan, Lenexa senior, says, with little compensation other than personal fulfillment or the occasional feedback from your local milkman or indie-rock god.
Most college radio stations, like KJHK, are student organizations funded by student fees and donations, and operated primarily on volunteered time. College radio is about having a passion for music and building a community around that passion, says David Day, editor at Boston's Weekly Dig and former associate editor at the College Music Journal. Days says college radio inspired his passion and career path. "It fulfilled a role in my life, and I know that sounds sort of profound and silly, but it's true." Day worked at KJHK while studying at KU in the late nineties, and has since become a freelance writer, professional DJ, entrepreneur and record label manager.
The Flaming Lips singer and songwriter, called to personally thank the station for playing his band and for all KJHK's support. "And that was before they'd really blown up," Cook says.
It's through this passion that these veiled voices of the FM airwaves helped bring artists such as R.E.M., Sonic Youth, Nirvana
and Ben Folds from underground obscurity to mainstream success. Today, college radio stations like KJHK continue to bring new and independent music to the forefront of the music industry, as well as create a sort of musical archive of the culture of a particular place and time. Indie rock outfit Arcade Fire won this year's Grammy for Album of the Year. Like many other artists, Arcade Fire got its start on college airwaves, 90.7 included. The band's award-winning album The Suburbs saw radio play at KJHK last year.
"I haven't been excited about the Grammys in... ever," Day says with an honest chuckle. The majority of the music industry is dominated by four major conglomerates — Sony, EMI, Universal and Warner music groups. For an outside entity ran by college students to exist alongside those powerful corporations, even defy their choices of what music is 'good,' truly illustrates the power of a network of passionate people.
Day, a KU alumnus who was a DJ and held several staff positions at KJHK, says the freedom most college radio stations have from corporate structure gives them the ability and responsibility to find and encourage people with a thirst to change the nature of the music

industry. Today, independent bands can be heard without the need for major label support because they can reach their fans and listeners directly — if they want to hear it.
KJHK's true role as an independent station isn't to be a radical part of a nationwide dissolution of the music industry as we know it, though college radio as a collective has the strength to seriously influence it. The philosophy of KJHK is to stay relevant to its audience and be the source for programming that can't be heard otherwise in Lawrence, says Becky Sullivan, now the station manager at KJHK. "We strive to have programming that our listeners truly care about," Sullivan says. "Our relationship with them and the local scene is everything."
In his book The Culture of College Radio, Samuel Saul writes that "as a culture, college radio reflects the current climate on the campus." Each station is as varied as the college towns or college students they reflect, and this changes with time. This creates a nationwide network of stations that may have similar philosophies committed to alternative programming, but each with their own stylistic niche, writes Saul.
WE STRIVE TO HAVE PROGRAMMING THAT OUR LISTENERS TRULY CARE ABOUT. OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM AND THE LOCAL SCENE IS
AND THE LOCAL SCENE IS EVERYTHING.

KJHK THROUGH THE YEARS
The image shows a hand operating a mixing console, likely used in music production or sound engineering.
Before radio at KU became "Your Sound Alternative: KJHK 90.7," early broadcasts at the University were committed to progressive, cutting-edge content. The first manifestation of radio broadcasting began in 1924, though it morphed and grew with advancements in technology. During the '50s and '60s the radio station operated through an AM frequency as KUOK, which only reached to the dorms. Programming through this period featured rock n' roll as well as jazz. Jayhawk basketball great Wilt Chamberlain even hosted a 30-minute weekly talk show called "Flip'er the Dipper" in 1956.
In 1975 the station moved to the FM airwaves and broadcasted for the first time as it does still today, as KJHK 90.7. Since then, KJHK has remained committed to airing progressive programming while catering to the sonic desires of its audience. The station has hosted numerous news and talk shows, many directly catering to minority groups on campus, especially during the civil rights movement.
KJHK has redefined itself regularly throughout the past 20 to 30 years, forcing the station to constantly question its relevance to its audience, says Tom Johnson, KJHK general advisor."In the '80s KJHK was 'the source' for counterculture and alternative programming, before the Internet," he says. "Now, we're just another source out there, so it's very important that we offer something that no other station does—unique, localized programming."
The physical changes of the actual station reflect KJHK's distinctive persona just as much as its programming. From 1975 until last year, KJHK broadcasted from a small building
on 11th St. called the Sudler Annex, but more commonly and endearingly known to many DJs as "The Shack." In May 2010, KJHK made the move into the Student Union, where it has a brand new, state-of-the-art studio on the fourth floor. Johnson says that although the Shack had such character and a past with KJHK, the new studio and the visibility it will create for the station will only help it move forward.
"There's such a rich history with KJHK, more than I bet most people are aware of," says Dan Cook, who also fronts the local band The Scriveners. "The shack, with all its graffiti and the posters, was the most tangible part."
RULING THE AIRWAVES
KJHK isn't affiliated with any media groups, licensing groups or record companies. All its programming decisions and relationships with bands, venues or events are at the discretion of its student staff. This creative freedom allows the station to create its own voice that speaks for its audience, which is equal parts KU students and Lawrencians, Sullivan says.
"Students are attracted to KJHK because
"We try and produce creative content [music, news and sports] that our audience has a genuine interest in, instead of being just another medium with the same regurgitated information, and we have the freedom to do that," Sullivan says.
they have a passion for music, and if they're like I was, coming from Lenexa, 96.5 the Buzz just wasn't cutting it," she says. Because the station doesn't have to worry about profits or corporate structure, the station's bottom line can be artistic quality instead of money. Kansas City station the Buzz's tagline is "The Alternative," but is owned by Entercom Communications and licensed by big-four group BMI. The FCC is the only entity KJHK is required to answer to (by law), beside University administration.

KJHK has a hand in projecting great indie acts into the national limelight, and the airtime it gives to such bands and artists allows KJHK to develop relationships with them, whether they are the Flaming Lips or Arcade Fire. But the station's focus is on staying relevant to its audience, Sullivan says. Its relationship with the downtown music scene is huge for the station, local venues and local bands, as well as national touring acts that make stops in Lawrence. "For being a fairly small Midwestern town, Lawrence is a hot spot for many national acts, and I think that's because we're playing them on our station," Sullivan says.
Jackpot Saloon manager Brad Shanks says the bar works very closely with KJHK because the two have common goals for music promotion, locally and nationally. "KJHK plays the music and encourages quality bands to do shows in Lawrence," Shanks says. "We offer them a place to play, KJHK plays their music, which helps promote our shows. It's a mutually-beneficial relationship and it's very important to us."

Tune in: Lawrence residents and KU students
appreciate JKHK's alternative and local content.
Bradley Barton, Larned senior, listens regularly to KJHK and says that the appeal of station is its alternative content. "My favorite program is Jam Sandwich, because you really don't hear that kind of music anywhere else," Barton says. "It's a refreshing break from the tedious pop that's played on other stations."
The Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St., hosted KJHK's Farmer's Ball, an annual local battle of the bands. This past November, The Will Nots, who formed early in the fall of 2010, won the event. Guitarist Tyler Francis says on top of winning and doing in-studio sets at KJHK, the band have truly enjoyed working alongside KJHK. "We're an energetic, boogey and soul group and the energy of a live crowd is what we feed off of," Francis says. "We love that KJHK is involved with local music and we want to work with them to keep live music alive," Francis says.

Perfume, alcohol and sweat pervade the air. Students drink colorful liquids from water bottles or sneak sips from cans of Busch Light and Keystone hidden beneath jackets. The group, stacked body upon body, begins an impromptu rendition of the national anthem followed by the Rock Chalk chant. One couple makes out, trying to steady themselves against the wall. This is everything one imagines as a college party at the University of Kansas ... and it's on wheels.

postponed in senate
In an effort to give student senators the chance to better represent their constituents and themselves, the student rights committee drafted a student senator Code of Ethics to be added to the senate rules and regulations.
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com
Student senate member Brandon Weiderholt, a freshman from Garnett, said he hadn't experienced anything unethical during his time in senate. However, Weiderholt said it would be a good thing to have.
"When you're controlling a budget that big and with that much power, this is definitely a good idea," Widerholt said. "We're trying to make sure students know their senators are being held accountable."
Student senators are responsible for controlling a $24 million budget. With no current code of conduct or similar ethical code directly related to senate, the student rights committee proposed the bill to provide some accountability for student senators.
Harris said he felt chief of staff Aaron Dollinger moved to have the bill postponed in order to enable himself more time to look it over because the bill would add more responsibilities to his position.
Student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, is a sponsor of the bill and the driving force behind it. He said throughout the past few years senate didn't have an ideal image.
"I am a little disappointed that it got postponed but its better than being defeated," Harris
3. Senators are elected by their fellow students. Therefore, it is their duty to pay attention during session to make sure that their constituency is being duly represented.
2. A bill should be voted on for its merit to the student body regardless of the author.

"I think that it is important that when you have a piece of legislation that directly affects any position you thoroughly go through it," Dollinger said.
Dollinger said he thought it was necessary to have a document that makes it clear how senators should act and to have the enforcement of the code go through his office because his staff is very knowledgeable of senate rules and regulations.
The bill will be the first item on the agenda at the next full senate meeting on March 16 in the Kansas room of the Kansas

Gay Marriage and the Defense of Marriage Act President Obama's administration announced last week that it will no longer defend the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act in court
What is DOMA?
Signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996, the Defense of Marriage Act established his under federal law a marriage be defined as between a man and a woman. The law also stipulated that no state would be forced to recognize a same-sex marriage in a different state, in July 2010 a federal judge declared that the section which defines a marriage as between a man and a woman was unconstitutional.
Why stop defending it?
Why stop defending it?
Under Obama, the justice department's official position has been that sexual orientation is a protected class. Like race and gender, and divorce equal protection under the law. Defending DOMA would require arguing that sexual orientation is not a protected class.
**R**ece =
Gender =
Sexual Orientation
Who would be affected?
Currently, five states and the District of Columbia issue marriage licenses to gay couples (California did at one point). So long as DOMA is enforced, none of these gay marriages are recognized by the federal government.
In California, marriage licenses were issued to same-sex couples between June 19th, 2008 and November 5, 2008. These licenses are still valid, but the state no longer issues them because of the passage of Proposition 8. However, a lawsuit currently making its way through federal court could overturn Proposition 8.
What happens now?
What Do You Think?
We asked students in the University group OUTlaws and Allies for their thoughts on Obama's decision
I'm happy with the Obama Administration's decision. I think it reflects a growing recognition that all forms of love are equal."
Joseph Javis
Lanero
3rd Year Law Student
I'm very pleased. He's stuck in a real place. He has to prove that guys and lesbians were not a protected class, and that would be difficult to prove."
Ryan Rash
Talleguah OK
3rd Year Law Student
What happens now?
The Obama administration says that it will continue to enforce the law until it is declared unconstitutional by the Supreme court or repealed by an act of Congress. A member of congress can defend the law in place of the justice department.
"I expect we'll have a decision by the end of the week.." I'd be very surprised if the House didn't decide that they were going to defend the law." Republican President of the House John Boehner in an interview with cbn.com.
What benefits does marriage bring?
Married couples who are legally recognized as such by the federal government are entitled to 1,118 benefits and rights according to the United States General Accountability Office. These are a few of the benefits and rights that DOMA prevents pay couples from receiving.
Financial Benefits
Federal employee disability income
Supplemental security income
Income tax credits
Medicaid and deductions
Veterans' disability payments
Family Rights
Joint parenting rights

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt speaks to students at a meeting of the University of Kansas College Republicans. Schmidt, a university of Kansas alumnus, discussed his life experiences and gave advice.

He described his entry into the world of politics in a similar fashion: a chance meeting with a staffer for Sen. Nancy Kassebaum led to a job in Washington, D.C. Once in the capital, he sent a resume to Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska after reading about him in a magazine and then worked for him for two years.
Schmidt said jurisprudence is a major factor that informed his legal opinions. He said that nuances and complexities in legal and policy issues were often hard to convey during elections.

Schmidt's advice to the students was to keep their options open. He said that he had chosen to attend law school because it permitted him to do just that. Schmidt graduated with a law degree from Georgetown University.

huff visit.
"He's one of my favorites." Moretti said. "He's one of the up-and-coming talents in the Republican Party."
talents in the relegation Schmidt said it was important that public officials performed quality service in a professional manner, regardless of politics. He said that Kansas had seen a high rate of turnover at the office of the attorney general, with five attorney generals in the past decade, and that one of his goals was to bring some stability to the office.
"When the elections are over, the insurance commissioner has to run the Insurance Department and the attorney general has to run the office of the attorney general," Schmidt said.

But just because the Department of Student Housing doesn't receive state funding, Robertson said the department was not ambivalent about privatization.

about privatization.
"We think of ourselves as educators first. We are completely not-for-profit, and if someone else starts running the dorms, then you lose a lot of that community feel." Robertson said.
The regents will conduct research during the next year, and they hope to discover cost-cutting solutions by 2012.
Privatization is just one of the latest ways the state is looking to cut expenses in higher education. State officials recently stopped state funds from being used to build new buildings on college campuses.

Jayhawks winning even after pain and scandals
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
twitter.com/UDKbasketball
But today, 10 days after Texas remained unbeaten and largely unchallenged in the Big 12, Kansas is alone on top of the league, needing only one victory or one Texas loss to continue its remarkable streak.
The Jayhawks, collectively, missed 32 games because of suspension, injury or personal tragedy. They missed starters and key reserves, and they missed them in wins and both losses.
They struggled all year to stay healthy or wholesome enough to stay on the court, and just a little more than a week ago, it seemed certain that the missteps and misfortune would cost the Jayhawks their seventh straight Big 12 title.
The revival of hope in Lawrence has been triggered by Texas defeats, but the Jayhawks are playing some of their best basketball right now, led by a new face at point guard. Sophomore Elijah Johnson claimed the spot when junior guard Tyshawn Taylor was suspended and, after a pair of stellar defensive performances against Oklahoma State's Keiton Page and Oklahoma's Carl Blair, he is in sole position to have the job the rest of the way.
"Considering how we dropped the ball against Texas at home," coach Bill Self said, "it's pretty good to be in this position."
"In my mind, if we were going to play a NCAA Tournament game tomorrow," Self said, "Elijah Johnson would be our starting point guard."
Taylor, team spokesman Chris Theisen confirmed Tuesday night, will be in uniform for Wednesday's game. Theisen said that he would "not say anything about whether he'll play or not."
If Taylor doesn't play, senior Brady Morningstar's role as de facto point guard will continue — Morningstar owns the best assist-to-turnover ratio in the conference in conference play, and he'll
be one of three Jayhawk seniors to play their last game in the Fieldhouse tonight.
Mario Little will get his first start of the season, following the long established Kansas tradition. Lawrence native Brady Morningstar, the oldest senior of the bunch at 25, will move over
to start at the point for Kansas and will likely square off with Texas A&M's Khris Middleton on the defensive side of the ball. Tyrel Reed, who once wore a Kirk Hinrich Jersey to a recruiting visit at Kansas State, will play his usual role as the rock-steady two-guard. Reed is the only Jayhawk to not
miss a start this season, and Self said that Reed and Morningstar have grown to become indispensible for the Jayhaws.
"Not only have those two been great for our program," Self said, "they've been to the point where, if they don't perform well, we don't win. There have been huge

Jayhawks' patience leads to progress

In a pair of wins in a doubleheader with Southern Utah Tuesday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark, Kansas baseball figured something but: Even if Jayhawks don't belt many homers or hit for many extra-base hits, they can still get guys on base and eventually across the plate.
"We work on bunting and base running. Every single day, we spend a lot of time on that," sophomore infielder Jake Marasco said. "I think that that's the way teams are going to have to go about trying to get wins."
Part of the problem for hitters across the country has been the new bats that every college player is required to hit with. These new bats don't provide nearly as much pop as the old, explosive metal bats.
"It's different," Marasco said.
"There are balls that guys have been hitting that are at the warning track that would be out by twenty feet last year."
There's been a clear adjustment
In Tuesday's first game, the Jayhawks only managed to piece together six hits, with three of those hits zipping off of Marasco's bat. With only four batters getting a hit in the squad's 2-1 win, the Jayhawks proved that patience at the plate can be a virtue.
Jimmy Waters, a senior outfielder from Council Bluffs, Iowa, hits a foul ball Tuesday afternoon against Southern Utah. Waters went to bat four times for the Jayhawks.
The Kansas batters' patience paid off in the first game, as the Thunderbirds pitchers walked six Jayhawks. And patience paid off once again in the second game, but in a more painful way. Seven Jayhawk batters were hit by pitches from Southern Utah pitcher Chase Rezack, which helped the Jayhawks cruise to a 5-1 win.
period so far for the Jayhawks, but in both wins against Southern Utah, the Jayhawk hitters have showed signs of figuring out how to score runs.
"Were trying to do a better job of working counts," Coach Ritch Price said.
As the Jayhawks start to figure it out at the plate, Price is also starting to figure things out with the lineup.
For both of Tuesday's games, Price moved senior outfielder Jimmy Waters to third in the lineup, and the streaking junior infielder Zac Elgie to the cleanup spot at fourth in the lineup.
'I needed to move (Elgie) up there, and move Jimmy up there.

Wildcats are rising from the ashes
MARCO MAYORAL
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Well, he had the right idea;he just delivered it in a poor manner.
Remember when Kansas State guard Jacob Pullen said he wasn't going to play in the NIT?
"This is my last go-round."
Pullen said after the Jan. 29 loss against Kansas. "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."
It would have been a much cooler story had he not added that last sentence. Then we could have interpreted the statement as though he wouldn't let the team remain in the horrible funk they were in earlier this year. If he hadn't added it, people would have thought, "With Pullen's passion and confidence, the Wildcats will correct their flaws and become a legitimate NCAA contender."
The success is alarming, especially when you think about how the Kansas State season began. The Wildcats had so much promise as the preseason No. 3 team, only to lose a handful of games and their team chemistry in the process.
Just think that up until this point the Jayhawks have only played three ranked opponents. Their last two games, including tonight against Texas A&M, are both ranked, making five for the season. The Wildcats have both won and lost that many.
Kansas State is as good as in the NCAA tournament. And it is a horrifying team, capable of taking any top seed to the brink. It's not surprising how it won at Texas in a battle of Big 12 elites on Monday.
They get beat, learn defeat, then get better and hungrier for that next win. Look at how pretty the Kansas State victory résumé is: No. 24 Virginia Tech. No. 12 Gonzaga, No. 1 Kansas, No. 21 Missouri and No. 8 Texas. That's pretty good.
The Wildcats have endured their inner turmoil and vicious schedule and emerged as perhaps the most tested team in the nation.
Frank Martin pulled the Larry Izzo tactic and played the most brutal schedule you could conceive. That's how Izzo's Michigan State teams do it: The regular season is going to be demoralizing while losing to tough teams. But that experience puts the team in the Final Four year after year.
Kansas State pulled the same stunt with a season speckled with losses against, at the time, No. 1 Duke, No. 24 Florida, No. 10 Texas A&M, No. 14 Missouri and No. 6 Kansas. Those last three are the luxury of playing in the Big 12.
If you are into the Bracketology thing, Kansas State is projected as an eighth seed right now. But as they say, no one wants to play them.
After the victory against Texas Monday night, Pullen found the right words to say.
"We're a good basketball team," he said during the press conference. "Everybody wrote us off. They really just called our season down the drain and for us, it's nothing but motivation."

THE AGE OF MOBILE APPLICATIONS
APPS OFFER STUDENTS WAYS TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY OR THWART IT
Think back on your day. What were you doing while you had a few minutes to kill between classes? If you have a smart phone, chances are you used a mobile application. More than 300,000 mobile apps are available today, resulting in an estimated 10.9 billion downloads. According to a study conducted by AdMob, a mobile advertising company, iPod Touch users, for which the average user age is 23, spend about 100 minutes a day using mobile applications.
// BECKY HOWLETT
Mobile apps are becoming more and more
of an everyday part of students' lives, as nearly half of all college kids now own a smart phone. A study performed by Michael Hanley, a journalism professor at Ball State University, found that college students are the fastest growing demographic of smart phone users. The number of college students with a smart phone nearly doubled in 2009 to 49 percent.
The introduction of the iPod Touch has also had a significant impact on mobile app usage among college students. On average, iPod Touch users download 12 applications a month,
With those numbers continuing to grow, mobile app developers are finding ways to make apps appealing to students. Andrew Killen, a KU student from Lawrence majoring in business information systems, has helped his father, Brian, develop and design two mobile apps, including "Grocery IQ," which was on the Apple Store Top 25 list for several weeks.

Apps between class: College students are likely to use mobile applications for productive uses, including time management and planning, as well as time wasters when waiting in between classes.
Killen says that considering the market is key to designing a successful app. "We design our apps specifically with college students in mind because they are one of the demographics most likely to use smart phones," Killen says. For the original grocery store app, Killen and his dad added a feature that would allow roommates to sync their lists to avoid purchasing duplicate items. Killen says they are currently working on a trivia-based application, which they hope will appeal to college students as a means of killing time between classes.

Using apps as a means of entertainment is exactly what drives J.P. Swanepoel, Olathe freshman, in his decision of what apps to download. "They just waste time," Swanepoel says. He plays three to four games on a daily basis and he looks to the Top Ten selling apps list on iTunes to find new apps.
Not all mobile apps are for fun and games. While games rank as the top category of frequently downloaded applications in the United States, they are followed by news and navigation apps. Kaylin Dillon, Lawrence senior uses her iPhone and iPad daily to access news stories. She says the accessibility of apps on her iPad has influenced how many she downloads and uses on a regular basis.
Dillon also takes advantage of the organizational benefits mobile applications can offer. "This is kind of embarrassing, but I
specifically searched productivity apps," Dillion says. "I'm not the most organized person, and I can't get myself to use calendars or lists." She is currently using an application called "Evernote" to keep running-gifts ideas, apply to study abroad and plan a bachelorette party.
Whether it's for mere entertainment or actual usefulness, mobile app usage among college students is only expected to increase as more and more acquire smart phones or other media devices like iPads. According to forecasts by Asymco, which performs industry analysis of mobile technology, 50 percent of the U.S. population will own smart phones by the end of 2011. Although the allure of mobile games may be detrimental to some students' productivity, mobile apps offer ample opportunities to improve efficiency in a number of areas, including academic pursuits.
As a Chinese major, Dillon uses a mobile Chinese dictionary daily. She says living without it would be hard. "It cuts my homework time literally in half," she says. Given the almost limitless possibilities of mobile applications, it's ultimately up to the user to tailor his or her usage, for better or for worse.

Perfume, alcohol and sweat pervade the air. Students drink colorful liquids from water bottles or sneak sips from cans of Busch Light and Keystone hidden beneath jackets. The group, stacked body upon body, begins an impromptu rendition of the national anthem followed by the Rock Chalk chant. One couple makes out, trying to steady themselves against the wall. This is everything one imagines as a college party at the University of Kansas ... and it's on wheels.
2011, SafeBus recorded 37,283 rides, a 70 percent increase from the 21,999 rides recorded during the corresponding time period last school year.
"The numbers have been quite surprising," said Derek Meier, transport coordinator for KU on Wheels. Meier explained that the large growth in ridership was because of the restructuring of routes.
The "secret here is adding Daisy Hill," he said. Safe Bus,

postponed in senate
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON ughton@kansan.com
In an effort to give student senators the chance to better represent their constituents and themselves, the student rights committee drafted a student senator Code of Ethics to be added to the senate rules and regulations.
Student senate member Brandon Weiderholt, a freshman from Garnett, said he hadn't experienced anything unethical during his time in senate. However, Weiderholt said it would be a good thing to have.
"When you're controlling a budget that big and with that much power, this is definitely a good idea," Widerholt said. "We're trying to make sure students know their senators are being held accountable."
amcnaughtonkansan.com
Student senators are responsible for controlling a $24 million budget. With no current code of conduct or similar ethical code directly related to senate, the student rights committee proposed the bill to provide some accountability for student senators.
Harris said he felt chief of staff Aaron Dollinger moved to have the bill postponed in order to enable himself more time to look it over because the bill would add more responsibilities to his position.
Student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, is a sponsor of the bill and the driving force behind it. He said throughout the past few years senate didn't have an ideal image.
"I am a little disappointed that it got postponed but its better than being defeated," Harris
3. Senators are elected by their fellow students. Therefore, it is their duty to pay attention during session to make sure that their constituency is being duly represented.
2. A bill should be voted on for its merit to the student body regardless of the author.
1. Members of the Student Senate at the University of Kansas are empowered by the student body to represent student interests both responsibly as well as ethically.
3. Senators are
The bill will be the first item on the agenda at the next full senate meeting on March 16 in the Kansas room of the Kansas
Dollinger said he thought it was necessary to have a document that makes it clear how senators should act and to have the enforcement of the code go through his office because his staff is very knowledgeable of senate rules and regulations.

National anthem wonders, blunders
MORNING BREW
Tonight, fans will be treated to a special National Anthem performance. I don't know who it is, but I have two guesses. I will tell you one at the end and the other you can ask me at a later time. But instead of talking about saying or not saying "Home of the Chiefs" at the end, I want to look back on some of the worst performances. I have been told that this one will be better than the last time Kansas brought somebody in to sing the National Anthem at Allen Fieldhouse. And that's whom I'll start with.

MORNING
BREW
Eudie Money (1/25/2010)
So, this isn't a bad performance, but he seemed drunk. But, who cares about that? He nailed all the words and even snuck in an "I love this country" before proceeding to the last stanza. Money sang the Anthem before Kansas tipped off against Missouri.
Roseanne Barr (7/25/1990)
Apparently, Barr's rendition was sung badly on purpose. Before she even finished San Diego Padre fans were booing her. Now, I'll be completely honest, I am an awful singer, but she was so pitchy.
Christina Aguilera (2/6/2011)
Mariana Aguilera (2/6/2011)
This one is memorable because it is recent.
She muffed the lyrics at the biggest football game of the year. But don't worry, Christina,
you've been given another chance to sing the National Anthem at a minor league baseball
game. And she has more books to worry about after being booked on suspicion of drunk driving early yesterday morning.
THE MORNING BREW
Eli Young Band (12/5/2010)
This is the first time that I have seen somebody actually mess up the Anthem. It happened not only once, but twice. After fumbling the lyrics, Eli Young started over and completely missed some stanzas. It's OK, because Chiefs fans ended up yelling "Home of the Chiefs" and then saw the home team defeat the Broncos 10-6.
Carl Lewis (1/21/1993)
Carl Lewis (1/21/1993) This might be my favorite one to date. Lewis is a former Olympian who sang the Anthem before the Nets hosted the Bulls. He started off strong with a long "Oh," but he then lost it after "and the rockets' red glare." He said, "Uh, oh. I'll make up for it now," but never did.
YouTube. You should laugh. But I'll really make it up to you, unlike Lewis did. Watch Jim Cornelson. He sings the Anthem before every Chicago Blackhawks game. What makes this version so great is that he is an opera singer but the fans clap and cheer during the Anthem to show their respect for the country. It is something I'm happy to be a part of as a Chicagoan.
If you get a chance, watch these on
Now for who I would love to see. It's Senior Night and you might have known that Mario Little plays the piano. He doesn't read music, just knows it by ear. I would love to see a piano rolled out to center court with Little sitting down and belting out the words. My other guess, well, we'll see if what I'm thinking holds true. If you get on the Kansan.com live chat tomorrow at 7 p.m. (it works on iPhones and Android devices), I promise to reveal my other guess.

Pitchers stay strong in double-header
Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
The Kansas baseball team got exactly what it needed in yesterday's double-header. Two strong outings from the starting pitchers both protected a languishing lineup and saved the bullpen arms for the upcoming four-game series beginning Thursday in Surprise, Ariz.
BY ALEC TILSON
atilson@kansan.com
Senior pitcher Wally Marceli worked seven strong innings in the first leg of the two-game set. A year removed from elbow surgery, Marceli threw a career-high 102 pitches, giving up four hits and no runs.
Athletics
Outfieldier Jimmy Waters catches the ball, causing an out for his opponent. The Jayhawks had six hits and two scores, giving them a one point lead against Southern Utah.
"I was a little tired in the seventh," Marciel said. "When coach came out in the middle of the seventh inning he asked if I could do it, and I said sure."
The southpaw Marcel issued five walks and admitted that his velocity had not fully returned. Both he and coach Ritch Price said they felt the surgery was not an issue at this point.
In the second game, sophomore right-handed pitcher Thomas Taylor worked 5.2 effective innings. He allowed one run on seven hits and struck out three in earning his first win of the season.

"I think he is completely 100 percent fine," Price said. "He did a real nice job of using his changeup and mixing his pitches and grinding."
wilf of the season.
The bullpen preserved leads in both contests. Junior pitcher Colton Murray got the final five outs in the first game and notched his first save of the season.
Junior pitcher Jordan Jakubov and freshman pitcher Frank Duncan worked the back end of the second game, allowing just one hit during three-plus innings.
For a team still searching on the offensive end, the defense looked solid. The team committed no errors in the double-header, making that three consecutive errorless games.
"I thought our infield defense was really good," Price said. "One of our goals is to be in the top three in our league defensively and on the turf. We should catch every ball on the turf"
"Our team defense has been doing well" sophomore third baseman lake Marasco said. "This turf is great, it doesn't hurt anything."
With a lineup that continues to shuffle, the pitching and defense need to remain consistent until the bats heat up. And the new turf at Hogland Pallpark should benefit the fielders.
"We just have to keep grinding as a team," Elgie said. "When things start to come together and everyone starts to hit, I think we have a chance to be pretty good."
Junior infelder Zac Eligie sees the three game winning streak as a step forward, but keeps a level head.

DOING WITHOUT // LYING
> Absence makes the heart grow ... ?
I never lie.
OK, I'm lying. Here's the deal: I lie more often than I'd like to admit. Sometimes I lie about small things — what I really think about how you look in that dress, for example — and sometimes I lie about bigger things — why I'm late to class or blew off an important meeting.
blew off an important meeting.
I usually don't think twice about these slips.
In response to the occasional white lie, society today seems to look the other way; a little fibbing is even expected under certain conditions: faking orgasms or saying you're sorry even if you're not.
"We sometimes lie to prevent hurting people's feelings and make things go well socially," Glenn Adams, KU associate professor of psychology, says. "Sometimes lying is a way of being nice to people."
Dishonesty is a part of life — a part that I've given up for the past week.
For that reason, I found myself avoiding situations in which lying might save me from social catastrophe. I avoided talking to friends who I consistently placate with small, kind fibs. I managed to avoid a single "How's it going?" when I was having an agonizing day at work. Sex would have to wait a week.
When I couldn't avoid it, I stated the truth bluntly. I came face to face with my inner bitch, the one who tells it like it is and doesn't flinch afterwards. Interestingly, I found the experience freeing. I suddenly had nothing to hide.
This reaction flies in the face of Adams' opinion that "people lie to make themselves feel good." I feel great. Honestly. (And I wouldn't wear that dress again if I were you.)

A college student's computer holds her entire life:her favorite photos, iTunes library and that term paper she spent the better part of a semester perfecting.
Unfortunately, her computer and yours aren't invincible. Enter the external hard drive: a clever device for backing up your work (and everything else) that could save your sanity when the unthinkable happens — a total computer meltdown.
For the most storage space and dependability, George Marakas, KU professor of information systems, recommends external hard drives over flash drives. "I generally
shop for price versus size," he says, noting that some hard drives contain as much as 1 terabyte (that's a trillion bytes) of storage space and sell for around $100. "You will never, ever generate that much data as an individual."
that much data as an individual James Field, Denver graduate student, relies on a 640-gigabyte Maxtor to protect himself from lost files and says research is important when choosing an external hard drive. "Approach it as a business decision," he says.
Once you've purchased a hard drive, the process of backing up is easy. Marakas says. You'll need to connect the drive to your computer through a USB port. Some drives come with additional software for automating your backups. Then, follow the manufacturer's instructions, which are usually very straightforward. Marakas says you should back up your most important, irreplaceable files first.

For the ultimate in data safety, backing up often is a good idea. "I'll back up once a month," Field says. "I should do it even more often."

Jayhawks collect fouls and end their streak
BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com
After the victory against Nebraska on Saturday, sophomore forward Carolyn Davis said that she needed to perform better on the road. She acknowledged that success would take more control on defense and fouls. Last night, Davis and the other forwards fell into foul trouble once again.
Kansas fell to No. 24 Iowa State 72-36, ending a three-game winning streak. The Jayhawks defeated the Cyclones earlier this season 86-85 in overtime.
"It was all mental, we beat them the first game, but we didn't come out with the mental game," Engelman said in an interview with 1320 KLWN.
With trouble in the paint, sophomore guard Monica Engelman stepped up to lead the team with 13 points, three assists, three steals and three rebounds in 37 minutes. She was the only Jayhawk in double figures. The next scorer was Davis with six points.
Davis ended the game with four fouls. Freshman Tania Jackson and senior Krysten Boogaard finished with three fouls and junior Aishah Sutherland had two.
Kansas shot a measly 30 percent from the floor compared to a 54 percent performance from Iowa State. Kansas also committed 19
turnovers.
"It got ugly in a hurry", said coach Bonnie Henrickson in an interview with 1320 KLWN.
Kansas never led in the game, but brought the lead down to three late in the first half. Though behind, the Jayhawks stayed focused on defense.
In the second half, however, the game got out of control quickly.
Iowa State went on a 42-9 run in the last 17 minutes of play.
"We couldn't stop the bleeding." Henrickson said.
Then, Kansas did not score for the final four and a half minutes.
2016-36
"You can't just go out onto the court looking like a fool; you have to fight for the whole game," Engelman said.
Kansas will face Kansas State on Saturday for a Senior Night outing to celebrate the careers of Boogaard and guard Marisha Brown, who was reinstated after a two-game suspension. The Jayhawks record sits at a 19-10 overall and 6-9 in conference play.
The layhawks still hope to go to the NCAA tournament this season and have a better chance with a .500 record in conference play.
"The opportunity is still there,
but we have to work a little bit harder
to get there," Engelman said.

STAGE PRESENCE // TANGENT ARC
> Rising stars. Feel free to swoon.
Weddings — a time for love, commitment and drunken toasts to the bride and groom and the beginning of a new life. For some of the future members of Tangent Arc, a wedding was also a time to discuss starting a band — at vibraphonist and vocalist Lillie Guy's wedding, to be exact. The idea had been whirling around guitarist and vocalist Wade Kelly's head for a long time, he says, and the time seemed right to bring the idea up to drummer John Benda.
Contributed photo
Not exactly the most traditional way to go about forming a band, but then again, Tangent Arc aren't necessarily all about the traditional. Any band that lists influences as diverse as Jeff Buckley, Prince and Wilco won't be playing by the rules. Their growing audience doesn't seem to mind, though, as a recent show in Wichita demonstrated.
COLUMBIA BAND
"Having 60 kids in the room actually yelling and clapping. . . it's like, 'I'm in a rock band that people dance to,'" Kelly says. "We're getting a little bit of momentum."
Gaining momentum: Tangent Arc, whose diverse influences include Jeff Buckley, Prince and Wilco, have a growing audience in Kansas. They will play at the Jackpot Saloon on March 7.
ror now, the band — comprised of
aforementioned Kelly, Benda, Guy, as well as bassist Rachel Anderson and keyboardist Kelly Heiman — is focusing on establishing themselves in the Lawrence music scene.
Tangent Arc will play at the Jackpot Saloon Monday, March 7, at 10 p.m.

SCENE & HEARD // DISC GOLF
> New places. New faces.
Disc golf, frisbee golf and 'frolf' are various monikers for the same sport, but here at KU, players of the game are known as Disc Heads.
A student organization started in the fall of 2010, Disc Heads is a growing group of casual and serious fans of 'froling,' a condensation of Frisbee golfing. Disc Heads president Cal Patton, Winfield senior, says he and vice president Dan Kubicki started the group because they love the sport and want to increase people's interest in it. "Disc golf is an up-and-coming sport that people do professionally and make a living doing," Patton says. "Collegiate disc golf is really popular on the East Coast, and we're just trying to spread the word in the Midwest."
Last November the Disc Heads took a team of three for their first major competition at the Southeast Collegiate Open at Fly Boy Aviation

*Troll* *fun*. Frisbee golf, or disc golf, is gaining popularity at KU thanks to Disc Heads, a student organization with casual and serious fans of the sport. Disc Heads started in the fall of 2010.
Disc Golf Course in Atlanta, Ga. They placed 15th out of 18 teams, but Patton says it was a great experience to play on the longest disc golf course in the world. The team is already registered for the National Collegiate Disc Golf Championship in April, and has hopes to organize a tournament with Kansas State University, who also has a team.
Before its winter dormancy, the group had about 20 members. Patton hopes to recruit more students in the spring. Short stints of warmer weather have already garnered an increase in disc sales at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike, 804 Massachusetts St. "They've been one of our biggest sellers in the shop for a few years now," Sara Bilhimer, a sales associate at Sunflower, says.
Patton says the group has a handful of serious players, but many more casual participants who play for fun.
"We encourage anyone to come and play; just contact us if you're interested," Patton says. "One time we had an entire fraternity join us; it was a blast."

postponed in senate
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com
In an effort to give student senators the chance to better represent their constituents and themselves, the student rights committee drafted a student senator Code of Ethics to be added to the senate rules and regulations.
Student senate member Brandon Weiderholt, a freshman from Garnett, said he hadn't experienced anything unethical during his time in senate. However, Weiderholt said it would be a good thing to have.
Student senators are responsible for controlling a $24 million budget. With no current code of conduct or similar ethical code directly related to senate, the student rights committee proposed the bill to provide some accountability for student senators.
"When you're controlling a budget that big and with that much power, this is definitely a good idea," Widerholt said. "We're trying to make sure students know their senators are being held accountable."
Harris said he felt chief of staff Aaron Dollinger moved to have the bill postponed in order to enable himself more time to look it over because the bill would add more responsibilities to his position.
Student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, is a sponsor of the bill and the driving force behind it. He said throughout the past few years senate didn't have an ideal image.
"I am a little disappointed that it got postponed but its better than being defeated." Harris
3. Senators are elected by their fellow students. Therefore, it is their duty to pay attention during session to make sure that their constituency is being duly represented.
1. Members of the Student Senate at the University of Kansas are empowered by the student body to represent student interests both responsibly as well as ethically.
2. A bill should be voted on for its merit to the student body regardless of the author.

Dollinger said he thought it was necessary to have a document that makes it clear how senators should act and to have the enforcement of the code go through his office because his staff is very knowledgeable of senate rules and regulations.
"I think that it is important that when you have a piece of legislation that directly affects any position you thoroughly go through it," Dollinger said.

MUSIC REVIEW // RADIOHEAD - 'KING OF LIMBS'
2011 (SELF-RELEASED)
> KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption
A number of things come to mind within the initial seconds of King of Limbs: the chopped rhythms of early dubsteppers (i.e. Burial), the scattered franticness of free jazz, the atmospherics of Brian Eno and the ambient soundscapes of artists like Aphex Twin and Autechre, to name a few. Overall it's a step closer to Radiohead's avant-garde sound (Kid A, Amnesiac, Thom Yorke's The Eraser).
The opener, "Bloom," is like a smoky jazz nightclub set 100 years in the future. Tumbling drums sweep in and out while Yorke's voice picks up steam. Pianos, strings, horns and
THE KING OF LIMBS
"Feral" delves further into the choppy realm of early dubstep. Drum loops barely stay afloat while indistinguishable mutterings blend into distant synths. "Give Up The Ghost" is closer to the Radiohead of Hail To The Thief, with a more straightforward structure, soft acoustic guitar and bissful background vocals. Yorke's voice, drenched in cavernous reverb, haunts the forefront of the track. The final track, "Separator," is the cathartic conclusion to a tense and mysterious record.
subtle electronic bleeps ebb and flow on top of a thumping, minimalistic bass line.
King of Limbs' laid-back and restrained sound forms a stark contrast with the more accessible, guitar-led songs of OK Computer, Pablo Honey and The Bends. While it's not the searing Radiohead of the mid '90s, it certainly a deeper dive into the experimental side of the band's palette.

Vintage flare jeans, John Lennon-styled sunglasses, thick belts and jumpsuits are sizzling this spring. The seventies are back, and in a more refined way. The "bell bottoms," now known as "flare jeans," are toned down a few notches and the hoop earrings aren't quite as big. Flashes of gold sparkle on the runway and men's crew cuts are growing into manes. This is the seventies re-invented. The only exception being for women's hair: voluminous, shiny hair replaces straggly, straw-like tresses.
Luckily for Lawrence, many vintage shops around town, including Arizona Trading Company, 736 Massachusetts St., and Wild Man's Vintage, 939 Massachusetts St., house timeless pieces that can date your wardrobe back forty years.
STYLE REVIEW // SEVENTIES STYLE
V
If you want more of an updated seventies look, go to American Eagle Outfitters, 619 Massachusetts St. I was overwhelmed with how seriously the store took this trend. I found great vintage flare jeans for under $50, to-die-for peasant tops and a floppy beach hat. The vibe was retro chill on the beach — perfect for spring breakers wanting to make a statement at their destinations.

Peace, baby. Brittany Nelson's mother wears a patriotic t-shirt in the 1970s. Find similar '70s style at vintage shops around Lawrence.
Contributed photo
Just make sure not to overdo it — some thick gold jewelry and a faux fur vest is enough. Mixing more than two to three seventies pieces screams you're living in the past — well, your parents' past, anyway.

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Texas A&M's Khris Middleton is exactly the type of player that gave the Jayhawks fits early in the season during the Jayhawks' Pac-10 swing. Middleton is reminiscent of Arizona's Derrick Williams and UCLA's Tyler Honeycutt, the two of whom combined to score 60 points against the Jayhawks in a pair of virtuoso performances. The Jayhawks have improved defensively since then, but there's definitely the potential for Middleton to have a big night against Kansas. The league's other lanky 6-foot-6 wing, Colorado's Alec Burks, averaged 20 points in two games this year against the Jayhawks.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson
Johnson won't get the start because he's not a senior, but he did get the ultimate vote of confidence from coach Bill Self Monday. "Ellijah will be our first guard off the bench," Self said. "In my mind, if we were going
Johnson
Johnson
to play an NCAA tournament game tomorrow, Elijah Johnson would be our starting point guard." If Johnson continues his solid play, it sounds like he'll get the nod even over the newly reinstated Tyshawn Taylor. That all depends on Self's allocation of minutes to Taylor after his suspension.
Can Kansas clinch number seven?
QUESTION MARK
Two weeks ago, it looked like Kansas would finally be knocked off its perch at the top of the Big 12. Today, Kansas has a chance to clinch a share of a remarkable seventh consecutive Big 12 title. Not often has the streak appeared in such dire straits as it did this year, but with a win in either of its remaining games or another Texas loss, Kansas clinches. As it stands, the streak is unrivaled by anything since UCLA's seven consecutive national titles, and the Jayhawks no doubt want to clinch the final crown of the current Big 12.
HEARYE, HEARYE
"To me Senior Night is a celebration of three guys' careers. One game does not capture what their careers have been. At Kansas that's one of the great things we have here and one of the great things we do tradition-wise."

Morningstar will run the point by default tonight. Coach Bill Self will, as always, start the seniors on Senior Night, so Elijah Johnson will find his way out of the starting lineup for a one-game hiatus.

Tyrel Reed, guard
Little
KANSAS VS.TEXAS A&M 8 p.m.,ALLEN FIELDHOUSE,Lawrence
Reed has been hitting everything lately, shooting better than 50 percent both from behind the arc and collectively from the field. That said, it's not necessarily a role the Jayhawks need him to play. He averaged 15.5 points in Kansas' two losses, against 9.8 points on the season as a whole. As long as Reed takes care of the ball and offers the occasional threat from outside, he's doing everything he needs to.
★★★☆
Mario Little, forward
Little will get his first start since the 2008-2009 season because of the lasting tradition of starting the seniors on Senior Night. Statistically, it's not necessarily a bad move. Little didn't do much against Colorado, but he's returned to form since then. He might be the most natural scorer Kansas has, and he's greatly improved his rebounding over the year.
TOMMY SCHLAFERT
★★★☆☆
Morris
Marcus Morris, forward
Marcus is averaging 25 points per game in the last two, and he's hit 4-of-7 threes in doing it. He hasn't locked up the Big 12 Player of the Year award just yet, but with Texas and Jordan Hamilton on a sharp downward trend, it's hard to see anybody else laying legitimate claim to the award. Jacob Pullen's earlier suspension puts it out of his reach, and the Jayhawks' lofty roost atop the league will give Morris favor over any contenders.

The outside shot he had at making the All-Big 12 team is diminishing with the excellent play of Jacob Pullen, but Markieff is making a pretty solid case for himself. He's taken double digit shots in each of the last three games after taking just three at Kansas State. With more shots, Markieff hasn't lost any efficiency.

A&M TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Texas A&M may have a slight edge compared to other teams in the Big 12 when it comes to Kansas' Senior Night celebration. The Aggies' coach Mark Turgeon was a point guard at Kansas from 1984-1987. He may have some "inside" information, but this is an emotional night for Kansas fans. The Aggies are coming off a 58-51 loss against Baylor on Saturday. It was the team's first loss since it lost to Baylor 76-74 in overtime at home. It was the third loss in a row to Baylor. Point blank, Texas &M has been average in conference play, even though the 9-5 record doesn't say that. It has defeated the teams it should have and has lost to some teams it shouldn't have.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Sophomore forward Khris Middleton
Middleton's name was mentioned as an All-Big 12 First Team selection, but Middleton should
be a lock for the Third Team and is a stretch for the Second Team. If Middleton were to be as consistent as Marcus Morris or Texas Jordan Hamilton, then he would
NBA
Middleton
have been in the picture. If he had the scoring numbers of Baylor's LaceDarius Dunn or the leadership of Missouri's Marcus Denmon, Middleton would have been in the picture. He would have also been in the picture if he had the hype surrounding him like Jacob Pullen, who has been on a tear since Feb. 14. Middleton will be a good player for the next few years for Texas A&M, but even if he is hot tonight, Kansas is just too good.
QUESTION MARK
Will Texas A&M help its in-state rival like Kansas State did for Kansas on Monday?
The answer is simple: no. Texas A&M was throttled by Texas by 20 points...twice. Kansas is a much better offensive team than Texas is, but Texas is a much better defensive team than Kansas is. It's Senior Night and the three seniors who are playing their last game in Allen Fieldhouse will want to go out on top; their teammates will make sure of it. Yes, the Aggies have had recent success in the last two-and-a-half weeks, but it has been against four teams that don't have a chance to make the NCAA tournament and are the bottom four in the conference: Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech.

The first time was the first time and obviously we didn't play great, but this is to me just another road game where I know a lot of people. We haven't played too well in the state of Kansas since I've been the coach here, so hopefully we'll play a little bit better on Wednesday."

The Aggies use David Loubeau and Khris Middleton to put Kansas right back where it was before Kansas State beat Texas on Monday: tied for the conference lead with the Longhorns. Middleton is one of the most unheralded stars in the country, and he could give the Jayhawks defense fits with his versatility. If he gets hot, he has the ability to put up huge numbers.

Code of Ethics bill postponed in senate
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com
In an effort to give student senators the chance to better represent their constituents and themselves, the student rights committee drafted a student senator Code of Ethics to be added to the senate rules and regulations.
"When you're controlling a budget that big and with that much power, this is definitely a good idea," Widerholt said. "We're trying to make sure students know their senators are being accountable."
Student senators are responsible for controlling a $24 million budget. With no current code of conduct or similar ethical code directly related to senate, the student rights committee proposed the bill to provide some accountability for student senators.
Student senate member Brandon Weiderholt, a freshman from Garnett, said he hadn't experienced anything unethical during his time in senate. However, Weiderholt said it would be a good thing to have.
Harris said he felt chief of staff Aaron Dollinger moved to have the bill postponed in order to enable himself more time to look it over because the bill would add more responsibilities to his position.
Student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, is a sponsor of the bill and the driving force behind it. He said throughout the past few years senate didn't have an ideal image.
"I am a little disappointed that it got postponed but its better than being defeated," Harris

Dollinger said he thought it was necessary to have a document that makes it clear how senators should act and to have the enforcement of the code go through his office because his staff is very knowledgeable of senate rules and regulations.

THEN & NOW How the stories of three players have changed from their arrivals to their imminent departures
Mario Little
IMPRESSIONS UPON ARRIVAL
BY CASE KEEFER
Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Just as one Mario departed from the Kansas basketball team, another one arrived.
Mario Little played in the intrasquad game just 13 hours after moving to Lawrence - and he made the most of it.
Little was given the intimidating task of guarding current NBA player Julian Wright. The incoming junior guard held Wright to 16 points and three rebounds. Wright spoke highly of Little's performance.
"He's coming here and expecting to produce," Wright said. "I think that's the thing he is going to do."
All the players in the incoming freshman class said they weren't worried about losing Chalmers to the NBA Draft. They are ready to create their own legacy.

IMPRESSIONS UPON DEPARTURE A redshirt with a passion and a lost chance

Mario Little is kind of the forgotten man in this senior class. It's a role he's reprised from last year, when he redshirted through his first senior season, consequently letting Sherron Collins own the Senior Night spotlight.

This year, Little is overshadowed by two native Kansans, the heart and hustle guys, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed. Little doesn't fit.

There was Reed, eyes rimmed with red as he talked about giving Ali Farokmanhess enough room to shoot a dagger three. There was Morningstar embracing Collins, both sobbing.

Brady Morningstar IMPRESSIONS UPON DEPARTURE A rocky, late start and a glorious, late ending
BY MIRANDA LENNING Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2005
The 6-foot-3 inch shooting guard is spending this year at The New Hampton School, a prep school in New Hampshire.
Brady Morningstar, the son of former Kansas basketball star Roger Morningstar, will play basketball for the Jayhawks next season.
Morningstar told rivals.com that he decided to commit after a visit with Kansas basketball coach Bill Self and his staff.
"Coach Bill Self and coach Joe Dooley came to my school on Saturday," Morningstar told rivals.com. "I gave them a tour of the offices, campus and my room. It was really great to see a couple of faces from my hometown. After the coaches and I talked for a couple of hours, I decided that I was going to attend Kansas."
Morningstar was also being recruited by Tennessee, Northern Illinois, Texas Christian and West Virginia.

Let's just get this out of the way early. Brady Morningstar is old. He's a 25-year-old senior, but he has a good reason. Instead of coming to Kansas right away, he went to prep school to hone his skills.
The wait paid off. Morningstar was definitely in a slump. It might have been from one missed free throw at Texas that was played over and on SportsCenter or it might be another reason. That's in the past, and right now Morningstar has been phenomenal. He has 56 assists to 10 turnovers. He's not only taking care of the ball, he is shooting lights out: 51.1 percent from three.

IMPRESSIONS UPON ARRIVAL
BY RUSTIN DODD Fridav. Nov. 2. 2007
Tyrel Reed's talent wasn't a secret coming out of Burlington—Roy Williams recruited him to North Carolina — but some people had doubts about how much Reed could contribute right away to a Kansas team stacked with talented guards.
"We have such great guards, I am just going to do what Coach Self tells me," Reed said.
And then there were those pesky Kirk Hinrich comparisons. Whether it's the hair or the height, Reed just can't get away from comparisons with the former Kansas star.
"Whenever my name is mentioned with Kirk Hinrich's it kind of sends chills through your body," Reed said.
He still has a way to go before he gets words of praise from his coach.

Tyrel Reed IMPRESSIONS UPON DEPARTURE Anxious freshman, assured senior
BY MIKE LAVIERI

twitter.com/kansanball
Tyrel Reed was nervous when he first arrived at Kansas as a freshman in the fall of 2007, but even back then, he had a solid foundation.
Coach Bill Self thought Reed was too good to be true as a person and a player when he recruited him. Self said that the only other player like Reed who's been at Kansas is Wayne Simien.
"Certainly he's a remarkable young man," Self said about Reed, who's now a senior.
Self said that Reed was the face of the program for at least half of this season because of his leadership, his character and how he handles himself on and off the court.
As we've gone forward and the
twins have played well and done some things, obviously people will talk about them first." Self said. "But in the coach's mind he's been the rock behind everything we do."
"He takes responsibility for somebody else screwing up. He's just one of those guys," Self said. "I think he probably gets that from having the background that he does. He definitely is a coach's kid, you can tell by watching him play."
Reed has always been a perfectionist. Self said that Reed could make seven of eight free throws, but would dwell on the one he missed the most.
Because Reed grew up as a coach's son, he was used to being yelled at. Reed said that the yelling never affected him and he was always used to it, but when he came to Kansas, he just didn't know how to handle it, with the instruction
coming from Self and not his dad.
"I couldn't take it with a grain of salt; I held on to things," Reed said.
That's the perfectionist coming out. But Reed thinks he has gotten better at coming to terms with his mistakes.
And after four years at Kansas, Self said Reed had grown up.
"I think in freshman, sophomore, junior years I would dwell on that miss and it would affect me and I would be bothered by it." Reed said. "But now I know you can't make everything. There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player."
"Tyrel came in as a nervous kid. Really nervous around me and didn't get me at all for awhile," Self said. "As he's matured and developed, I think he's one of the most fun kids to be around. Period."

Participants in the Fast-a-thon pray before eating dinner Thursday night at the Kansas Union ballroom. For each pledge, the Muslim Students Association donated $1 to the Douglas County Friends of Children In Foster Care.

Last night 350 hungry students and a few local businesses helped raise $1,200 for the Douglas County Friends of Children. The Muslim Student Association did this with the seventh annual Fast-a-thon that is an event to help spread awareness about Islam, Ramadan and to help those in need.
The MSA spent the past few weeks collecting pledges from students to fast from sunrise to sunset. One fasting student, Conrad Hudson, a junior from Topeka, said his day could be summed up in one word: hungry.
"Looking forward to the big meal was great though," Hudson said. "It made the food so good."
Hudson, who is also a student leader for The Society of Open Minded Atheists and Agnostics.
said he was intrigued by the event when he heard about it last semester during Islam Awareness Week at the University. Hudson said he was looking to expand his horizons and that it "was cool to get an accurate view on how they worship."

The Arbuckle Group, a watery, underground rock structure, was created in southern Kansas 480 million years ago, when fish were just beginning to evolve. Since then, time has buried it as much as 8,000 feet beneath the earth's surface.
In modern times, the 17-county area over the Arbuckle has been a profitable territory for the oil industry, but now those oil rigs are being used for a different purpose. If all goes as anticipated, instead of pumping out oil, the rigs will pump in carbon dioxide in an effort to curb climate change. Deep inside the earth, the Arbuckle's aquafier system will become a depository for the greenhouse causing gas.
With $10 million in federal grants, members of the University's Kansas Geological Survey have drilled 5,000 feet into the Arbuckle in Sumner County, just south of Wichita, to investigate its potential for storing carbon dioxide.
SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS CO2 PROJECT
Geologic carbon sequestration, the pumping of man-made carbon dioxide deep underground, is a nationwide Department of Energy (DOE) initiative to mitigate the effects of greenhouse gases.
The DOE estimates that geologic formations in the U.S. such as saline aquifers and oil and gas reservoirs have the potential to absorb the nation's total output of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel emissions for the next 600 years.
By trapping carbon dioxide underground,policy makers hope to help the U.S.meet its goal of halting the increase in greenhouse gas.They also hope to make a new industry as private businesses find economic incentives to dispose of carbon dioxide.
However, some studies question current estimates of the volume of carbon dioxide those geologic spaces can hold, while others raise questions about groundwater contamination.
"The 800-pound gorilla in the room is putting it in the ground safely," said W. Lynn Watney, senior KGS scientific fellow. "We're trying to prove the concept so that it will be palatable to regulators."
Watney, and Saibal Bhattacharya, the lead KGS engineer, are the principal investigators of the project. Their team is using oil rigs and advanced
Watney
seismic imaging technology to test the Arbuckle aquifer's ability to store carbon dioxide within the saltwater and pores in the rock. The KGS initially received a $5 million grant from the DOE in 2009 and received another $5 million last month.
Watney said the goal of the project, which is to be completed in December of 2012, is to measure the volume and test the safety of the Arbuckle. The current project plan does not involve any injection.
CO2 AS OIL/GAS INDUSTRY TOOL
The KGS has subcontracted with petroleum firms such as Berexco LLC, Beredco Drilling and Bittersweet Energy Inc. in order to accomplish the drilling, gain access to practical expertise and draw private industry into the business of carbon dioxide.
The petroleum industry has been injecting carbon dioxide into the earth for more than 30 years, but not for the purpose of trapping it. Enhanced oil recovery is the industry term for pumping carbon dioxide into oil or gas reservoirs in order to increase productivity. As practiced today, it has no significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
"If the industry looks at it as an asset, they might help build the pipeline and make it feasible for a power plant," Watney said.

Renew KU filed a complaint against its opponent, KUnited, for allegedly breaking campaign rules.
KUnited accused of chalking too early
hdavis@kansan.com
The student senate coalition, Renew KU, filed a complaint Wednesday morning with the student senate elections commission. In the complaint, Renew KU alleges that KUited, an opposing student senate coalition, broke campaign rules by prematurely "chalking" on campus.
BY HANNAH DAVIS
The formal complaint continues with an allegation that the Student Senate Chief of Staff and former member of KUnited, Aaron Dollinger "failed to publish the elections calendar and appoint an elections commissioner within the required time frame." As of Wednesday, no elections calender had yet been published.
Dollinger said the calendar will be published in the next few days. Dollinger said his former ties with KUnited will not pose a conflict of interest.
Section 401.1 of the student senate election code said this about chalking: "Chalking shall begin no earlier than five weeks prior to the week of the general election."
"I am not aligned with KUnited this year. I have no stake in the process." Dollinger said.
"Even though the calendar isn't out yet, the code clearly states that chalking cannot begin earlier than five weeks before the senate elections," Dollinger said, "and KUnited adhered to those restrictions."
Dollinger defines "week" as an academic week. The week of Spring Break is not counted. Michael Wade Smith, student body president and member of KUinated, agrees with Dollinger's interpretation.
"There are hardly any students on campus during Spring Break so campaigning basically comes to a halt," Smith said.

SAFEBUS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
with the input of students and other groups such as Student Senate and the Transit Commission, reworked the red and green SafeBus routes to include stops at McCollum Hall. Meier explained the change was aimed at making SafeBus more accessible to the 3,000 students that call Daisy Hill home. The program, paid for by student funds, currently runs six buses from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
"Obviously on the SafeBus side we strongly encourage students to make good decisions," Meier said. "Those decisions are easier to make if you have acceptable or quality options."
At 11:25 p.m., the students of Daisy Hill are using the service of SafeBus 53 yellow. They pile on the 80-person capacity bus and vell addresses.
"14th and Tennessee!" "The Hawk!" "11th and Illinois!"
In the midst of the chaos, SafeBus driver Scott Grosdidier sits like a sea captain at the helm of the 10-ton, 40-foot bus.
"They see someone else get off and then they try to get off and their stop is two miles down the road," Grosdidier said. "It's a little bit of a babysitting job, but the thing is I don't want any of these
people to get ticked off when they realize they're in the wrong place."
Some riders still miss their stops but don't seem to mind. They ride along yelling, joking, laughing and sneaking sips from what's hidden in purses and coats. Rules above the festive passengers include no loud or excessive profanity, no eating, drinking or smoking.
"I'm not part of the TSA, so I can't give them all a pat down when they get on the bus," Grosdidier said.
Though clandestine drinking does happen during the rides, Lawrence Police Officer Trent McKinley said he thought SafeBus makes Lawrence safer and did not encourage underage drinking.
"I don't think that they have graphics on their bus encouraging drinking," McKinley said. "They don't have Budweiser sponsoring the bus. They don't encourage people going out to drink." McKinley added that SafeBus keeps intoxicated drivers off the road and that drivers often called the Lawrence Police department if they had problems with riders.
Beau Cohen, a freshman from Topeka, also thinks SafeBus helps the community.
"You got to roll with the punches," he said. "In a way it encourages kids to drink in the fact that they have a way to get around, but again it's keeping drunks off the street. It's like a rollercoaster man. You're going to have your ups and downs."
As the night drags on, people begin boarding the bus from downtown Lawrence and the "student ghetto" for their return trip. Finally home, they stagger off.
"Thanks man," some say to the bus driver, "Take it easy." "See you next weekend." Beer cans and water bottles roll around the empty floor.
"I usually fill about a trashcan after the night is done," Grosdier said.
Students currently pay $10.20 per semester for the combined SafeBus and SafeRide service, and roughly 40 percent goes to the SafeBus program. Every three years, the fee goes up for review by the Student Senate Campus Fee Review Subcommittee. This year, there is a proposal to increase the fee, adding $1.20 to the Thursday night SafeBus service and $0.70 to the combined service to keep up with costs.

While the new building will be the first LEED certified building in Lawrence, it will be the third the group has constructed. Studio 804 first built a LEED certified structure in Greensburg in 2008 after a tornado swept through the town. The LEED structure helped turn the town into a green society and is still in use.
According to the U.S. Green Building Council, in order to
become LEED certified the building must meet specific requirements in energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their effects.
The project this year, which will be on Bob Billings Parkway, will use an array of methods to earn their green certification. Rockhill

The bill designates responsibilities of student senators and aims to ensure that the motivations of theseate directly represents and benefits their constituents and that there are no person gains.
One of the articles in the bill states that "senators will never misrepresent their constituency, but strive for what is best for the student body."
Referring to elections issues and the low voter turnout, Harris said the code of ethics provided a good opportunity to clean up that image and convey to students why senators do what they do.

"It's a good way to say we're here for the betterment of the student body, not us," Harris said.
According to the bill, senators must hold themselves to a higher standard and conduct while representing the student body's interests.
If a senator violates the code of ethics, suspension or loss of voting rights is the intended punishment
"We don't want grudges or this to turn into a witch hunt," Harris said. "We just want this to be used as a means to keep senate accountable and hold themselves to a higher standard."

THEN & NOW How the stories of three players have changed from their arrivals to their imminent departures
Mario Little
IMPRESSIONS UPON ARRIVAL
BY CASE KEEFER Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Just as one Mario departed from the Kansas basketball team, another one arrived.
Mario Little played in the intrasquad game just 13 hours after moving to Lawrence - and he made the most of it.
Little was given the intimidating task of guarding current NBA player Julian Wright. The incoming junior guard held Wright to 16 points and three rebounds. Wright spoke highly of Little's performance.
"He's coming here and expecting to produce," Wright said. "I think that's the thing he is going to do"
All the players in the incoming freshman class said they weren't worried about losing Chalmers to the NBA Draft. They are ready to create their own legacy.

"That's what I've been doing all my life," Little said. "Stepping up in big games at crunch time. We're all going to step up."

Mario Little has had his ups and downs since arriving at Kansas in 2008. A highly sought-after recruit, Little has started in just three games during his career as a Jayhawk.
IMPRESSIONS UPON DEPARTURE A redshirt with a passion and a lost chance
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kape

Mario Little is kind of the forgotten man in this senior class. It's a role he's reprised from last year, when he redshirted through his first senior season, consequently letting Sherron Collins own the Senior Night spotlight.
Senior Night spotlight. This year, Little is overshadowed by two native Kansans, the heart and hustle guys, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed. Little doesn't fit. He's started just three games in his career, none this season, while Reed and Morningstar have been intermittent starters for most of their careers.
Little alienated a huge part of the fan base when he was suspended for six games after being arrested for assault and battery.
Morningstar and Reed are the selfless guys, while Little loves to shoot. Coach Bill Self has often joked that if shots per minute were a recorded stat, Little would by far lead the team.
Morningstar and Reed didn't get a lot of high-profile offers out of high school. Little was a highly sought-after recruit who, because of an injury and a redshirt and Kansas' insane depth, never got the chance to live up to the hype.

As Northern Iowa celebrated its historic upset of Kansas in the NCAA Tournament last year, there were several indelible images. There was Marcus Morris, crumpled in the corner of the court with his jersey pulled over his head to hide the tears. There was Reed, eyes rimmed with red as he talked about giving Ali Farokmanesh enough room to shoot a dagger three. There was Morningstar embracing Collins, both sobbing.
And there was Little, who could do nothing that day because of the redshirt. He knelt, wracked with sobs, with his head on the floor and tears streaming down his face.

It was really great to see a couple of faces from my hometown. After the coaches and I talked for a couple of hours, I decided that I was going to attend Kansas."
Morningstar was also being recruited by Tennessee, Northern Illinois, Texas Christian and West Virginia.

Let's just get this out of the way early. Brady Morningstar is old. He's a 25-year-old senior, but he has a good reason. Instead of coming to Kansas right away, he went to prep school to hone his skills.
Coach Bill Self is going to miss all three of his seniors, but especially Morningstar.
The wait paid off. Morningstar was definitely in a slump. It might have been from one missed free throw at Texas that was played over and on SportsCenter or it might be another reason. That's in the past, and right now Morningstar has been phenomenal. He has 56 assists to 10 turnovers. He's not only taking care of the ball, he is shooting lights out: 51.1 percent from three.

IMPRESSIONS UPON ARRIVAL
BY RUSTIN DODD Friday, Nov. 2, 2007
Tyrel Reed's talent wasn't a secret coming out of Burlington — Roy Williams recruited him to North Carolina — but some people had doubts about how much Reed could contribute right away to a Kansas team stacked with talented guards.
And then there were those pesky Kirk Hinrich comparisons. Whether it's the hair or the height, Reed just can't get away from comparisons with the former Kansas star.
team skittles was, "We have such great guards, I am just going to do what Coach Self tells me," Reed said.
"Whenever my name is mentioned with Kirk Hinrichs it kind of sends chills through your body," Reed said.
"I've got Tyrel a little screwed up right now because I've got him thinking instead of just playing" coach Self said.
He still has a way to go before he gets words of praise from his coach.

Tyrel Reed IMPRESSIONS UPON DEPARTURE Anxious freshman, assured senior
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
twitter.com/kansanbball
Tyrel Reed was nervous when he first arrived at Kansas as a freshman in the fall of 2007, but even back then, he had a solid foundation.
Coach Bill Self thought Reed was too good to be true as a person and a player when he recruited him. Self said that the only other player like Reed who's been at Kansas is Wayne Simien.
"Certainly he's a remarkable young man," Self said about Reed, who's now a senior.
Self said that Reed was the face of the program for at least half of this season because of his leadership, his character and how he handles himself on and off the court.
"As we've gone forward and the
twins have played well and done some things, obviously people will talk about them first." Self said. "But in the coach's mind he's been the rock behind everything we do."
Reed has always been a perfectionist. Self said that Reed could make seven of eight free throws, but would dwell on the one he missed the most.
"He takes responsibility for somebody else screwing up. He's just one of those guys." Self said. "I think he probably gets that from having the background that he does. He definitely is a coach's kid, you can tell by watching him play."
Because Reed grew up as a coach's son, he was used to being yelled at. Reed said that the yelling never affected him and he was always used to it, but when he came to Kansas, he just didn't know how to handle it, with the instruction
coming from Self and not his dad.
coming from Self and not his dad:
"I couldn't take it with a grain of salt; I held on to things." Reed said.
That's the perfectionist coming out. But Reed thinks he has gotten better at coming to terms with his mistakes.
And after four years at Kansas, Self said Reed had grown up.
"I think in freshman, sophomore, junior years I would dwell on that miss and it would affect me and I would be bothered by it." Reed said. "But now I know you can't make everything. There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player."
Self said he lives in as a nervous kid. "Tyrel came in as a nervous kid. Really nervous around me and didn't get me at all for awhile." Self said. "As he's matured and developed, I think he's one of the most fun kids to be around. Period."

The Arbuckle Group, a watery, underground rock structure, was created in southern Kansas 480 million years ago, when fish were just beginning to evolve. Since then, time has buried it as much as 8,000 feet beneath the earth's surface.
In modern times, the 17-county area over the Arbuckle has been a profitable territory for the oil industry, but now those oil rigs are being used for a different purpose. If all goes as anticipated, instead of pumping out oil, the rigs will pump in carbon dioxide in an effort to curb climate change. Deep inside the earth, the Arbuckle's aquafier system will become a depository for the greenhouse causing gas.
With $10 million in federal grants, members of the University's Kansas Geological Survey have drilled 5,000 feet into the Arbuckle in Sumner County, just south of Wichita, to investigate its potential for storing carbon dioxide.
SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS CO2 PROJECT
Geologic carbon sequestration, the pumping of man-made carbon dioxide deep underground, is a nationwide Department of Energy (DOE) initiative to mitigate the effects of greenhouse gases.
The DOE estimates that geologic formations in the U.S. such as saline aquifers and oil and gas reservoirs have the potential to absorb the nation's total output of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel emissions for the next 600 years.
By trapping carbon dioxide underground, policy makers hope to help the U.S. meet its goal of halting the increase in greenhouse gas. They also hope to make a new industry as private businesses find economic incentives to dispose of carbon dioxide.
However, some studies question current estimates of the volume of carbon dioxide those geologic spaces can hold, while others raise questions about groundwater contamination.
"The 800-pound gorilla in the room is putting it in the ground safely," said W. Lynn Watney, senior KGS scientific fellow. "We're trying to prove the concept so that it will be palatable to regulators."
Watney, and Saibal Bhattacharya, the lead KGS engineer, are the principal investigators of the project. Their team is using oil rigs and advanced
Watney
seismic imaging technology to test the Arbuckle aquifer's ability to store carbon dioxide within the saltwater and pores in the rock. The KGS initially received a $5 million grant from the DOE in 2009 and received another $5 million last month.
Watney said the goal of the project, which is to be completed in December of 2012, is to measure the volume and test the safety of the Arbuckle. The current project plan does not involve any injection.
CO2 AS OIL/GAS INDUSTRY TOOL
The petroleum industry has been injecting carbon dioxide into the earth for more than 30 years, but not for the purpose of trapping it. Enhanced oil recovery is the industry term for pumping carbon dioxide into oil or gas reservoirs in order to increase productivity. As practiced today, it has no significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
The KGS has subcontracted with petroleum firms such as Berexco LLC, Beredoc Drilling and Bittersweet Energy Inc. in order to accomplish the drilling, gain access to practical expertise and draw private industry into the business of carbon dioxide.
"If the industry looks at it as an asset, they might help build the pipeline and make it feasible for a power plant," Watney said.

KUnited accused of chalking too early
BY HANNAH DAVIShdavis@kansan.com
The student senate coalition, Renew KU, filed a complaint Wednesday morning with the student senate elections commission. In the complaint, Renew KU alleges that KUnited, an opposing student senate coalition, broke campaign rules by prematurely "chalking" on campus.
The formal complaint continues with an allegation that the Student Senate Chief of Staff and former member of KUnited, Aaron Dollinger "failed to publish the elections calendar and appoint an elections commissioner within the required time frame." As of Wednesday, no elections calender had yet been published.
Dollinger said the calender will be published in the next few days. Dollinger said his former ties with KUnited will not pose a conflict of interest.
"Even though the calendar isn't out yet, the code clearly states that chalking cannot begin earlier than five weeks before the senate elections." Dollinger said, "and KUnited adhered to those restrictions."
Section 401:1 of the student senate election code said this about chalking: "Chalking shall begin no earlier than five weeks prior to the week of the general election."
"I am not aligned with KUited this year. I have no stake in the process," Dollinger said.
Dollinger defines "week" as an academic week. The week of Spring Break is not counted. Michael Wade Smith, student body president and member of KUnited, agrees with Dollinger's interpretation.
"There are hardly any students on campus during Spring Break so campaigning basically comes to a halt," Smith said.

To accommodate students seeking healthier food options on campus, KU Dining Services announced it will begin offering whole grain wheat breads as part of its daily menu.
This effort to assist students in achieving a healthy lifestyle is commendable for both KU Dining Services and the students who frequent its services. Many students are limited in their choices for healthy eating while on campus, and the availability of whole grain foods can be very beneficial to the overall health
of the student body.
While KU Dining Services has made a respectable choice in offering whole grain breads to students, the students are also to be commended for their noticeable efforts to obtain healthier dining options. KU Dining Services offers whole grains primarily for the health benefits of students but is only able to do so because of the growing demand for that service.
In order for KU Dining Services to continue this trend of offering healthier food options, it will be up to University students to maintain consistent demand for those services. If students continue to purchase whole grain foods at dining areas around
The fact that students have expressed desire for whole grain options in the past has convinced
KU Dining Services that supplying those menu items could be financially feasible. KU Dining Services has helped supply the means of healthy eating to students, but it was the students who were ultimately the catalyst for this change.

Embracing advanced technology can better human knowledge
U. S. Rep. Rush Holt (D-N.J.) beat the supercomputer Watson in an exhibition round of "jeopardy" held Monday. Holt said he participated in the game to raise awareness for the importance of science and math education, but unfortunately the event also gave people an excuse to make more terrible jokes.
When Ken Jennings, who competed against Watson in last month's televised tournament, added the line "I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords," to the end of one of his Final Jeopardy answers, it was almost graceful. After all, he could have responded in a much worse way to the news that a machine is better than him at the one thing for which he's famous.
Other authors have no excuses for their many Tweets, online comments and late-night television sketches comparing Watson to the Terminator or HAL 9000. It's like joking about Aquaman being useless: The joke is so easy that there's no value in actually saying it.
My real problem isn't with the quality of humor on the Internet though. It's with anyone who views Watson as the opposing team. Don't get me wrong. I understand the desire to see a team we relate with win. I just think we all win more as computers like Watson become better at their jobs.
Watson is the size of a room, but almost all technology becomes smaller and less expensive over time. This means we might live to see a future that looks pretty futuristic.
IBM, the creator of Watson, said it might be used to provide quick diagnoses in the medical field. There
are several other cool uses for this technology though.
On "Star Trek" the characters interact with the computer by giving it commands in plain, spoken English. This could be us someday. For clarification, Watson can't actually hear but instead responds to text prompts when it plays; however, it obviously puts us closer to machines that can hear and respond naturally.
Even without hearing us, the technology could still help our daily lives. Have you ever had a simple question but couldn't find a clear answer online because you couldn't figure out the right keywords? Your grandkids might scoff at the idea that such a difficulty existed.
Maybe you're a fan of video games like "Oblivion" or "Fallout" that try to create a living, organic world for you to wander. Imagine how much more real those worlds would be if the computer characters could respond to questions you worded yourself.
The only real fear is that a machine like Watson will someday take jobs away from real people. Quite honestly, it probably will. My response to that is the folktale of John Henry. In the legend, Henry entered a race against a steam-powered hammer. He won the race but worked himself to death in the process, and the steam-powered machinery grew in popularity, regardless. In the end, it is far more painful to resist progress than it is to embrace it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Snyder v. Phelps ruling deserved larger page article on front page
As a Kansas alum and current law student in Florida, I was highly disappointed when I read the Kansan this morning. After such a highly controversial decision coming down from the Supreme Court yesterday I expected an article about Snyder v. Phelps on the front page with several quotes of reaction from students and maybe even a picture or two. Instead the front page was a lengthy article about rocks, while I'm sure important, can not even compare to the potential landmark case that was handed down yesterday. It was rather disturbing the lack of respect this issue was given by the Kansan. Simply writing a short article and placing it next to an article about
some hazing and advertisements is an embarrassment.
The Kansan had a unique chance to discuss an important issue that probably affects no other university more in the country. The University is constantly confronted by the Phelps family and knows firsthand their behavior, the reaction to it and the consequences their pickets and protests can have. For future editions, I would suggest giving the Supreme Court and their decisions the respect they deserve, regardless of the outcome of the case.

Illegal Immigration bill in question raises concern for diversity of student body
The Kansas state government is working on a bill that's meant to address illegal immigration. The bill in question is similar to the Arizona bill that made national news because of its racial-profiling wording.
---
This issue is a provision in the bill that allows officers to check the status of people they legally stop if they have a reasonable suspicion that the person is illegally in America. This same provision raised concerns in Arizona because it could possibly lead to racial profiling.
Despite the fact that this bill could result in racial profiling and racist tendencies, it poses special concern for the University of Kansas and its surrounding community.
The phrase 'reasonable suspicion'
brings up its own questions, but the concern is for our international students here. The University enjoys a degree of diversity that is not common in Kansas. The enrollment of international students has increased during the years, and there is a reason for that. They are welcome here, and students
BY AARON HARRIS

want the chance to learn about other cultures. These students offer a valuable interaction not always available in the classroom.
A fear that arises with this possible bill is not only what it could do to our Mexican-American students, who were targeted in Arizona, but other international students as well. With the wording of this bill so ambiguous right now, it's not too far-fetched to believe one of these students could be pulled over and detained because an officer thinks the student could be an illegal immigrant.
Students are here to learn, not to worry about the possibility of being pulled over and interrogated by police who think they are illegal immigrants. The University needs these students to enroll and help grow the diverse community. Is this really the impression of America and Kansas we want to impart on them? Are we so worried about immigration that we turn to possibly racist laws to enforce those concerns?
One collaborator on this bill is Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, one of the people who helped draft the law that passed in Arizona last year. I urge students to write Rep. Lance Kinzer (R-Olathe), Governor Brownback and Kobach. Let them know that this bill is unnecessary and puts our state and our communities in a bad light, as has happened in Arizona. Racial profiling is not the way to solve our problems.

Northwestern holds sex demonstration
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHICAGO - Northwestern University acknowledged Wednesday that an unusual demonstration was held on campus last week in which students observed a woman being penetrated by a sex toy.
sex toy. The university will pay the man who arranged for the demonstration, which was held in front of about 100 students attending psychology professor J. Michael Bailey's human sexuality class. The demonstration occurred after class and was optional.
and was optimistic.
Bailey occasionally holds lectures, demonstrations and other activities after class, and on Feb. 21, he invited Ken Melvoin-Berg,
a Chicago tour guide, to discuss human sexuality, fetishes and female orgasm.
After an initial discussion at Ryan Auditorium, the class was told that a couple were going to demonstrate the use of a sex toy. "Both Professor Bailey and myself gave them five or six warnings about what was about to happen and it would be graphic." Melvino-Berg told The Chicago Tribune.
The woman undressed and got
on stage with her male partner, who then penetrated the woman with the device.
"It was a fun and educational experience," Melvoin-Berg said. The students, he said, "seemed to be incredibly pleased. We had a number of them that got closer and closer."
Melvoin-Berg said he typically gets paid $300 to $500 for an hour-long lecture, but he declined to say how much Northwestern has agreed to pay him. Spokesman Al Cubbage confirmed that the university has agreed to pay.
There are 567 students registered for Bailey's class, Cubbage said. Bailey did not return calls or e-mails seeking comment, and Cubbage said Bailey told him he would not comment.
Northwestern issued the following statement: "Northwestern University faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial and at the leading edge of their respective disciplines.
"The university supports the efforts of its faculty to further the advancement of knowledge."
Congressional leaders negotiate a spending plan
NATIONAL
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON - The Senate on Wednesday gave final approval to a stopgap measure to fund the government for two weeks and President Barack Obama called on congressional leaders to negotiate a lasting spending plan that quells the continuing risk of a federal shutdown.
But the prospect for political drama quickly confronted the White House request for talks, as Republican leaders de
through September, a proposal Democrats say is reckless.
With both parties privately doubtful about prospects for an agreement by March 18, when the two-week spending plan expires, the White House stepped in to prevent a succession of temporary measures, which officials worry will create uncertainty in the economy.
"It's time for them to outline for us what's their position to keep the government funded."
clined to immediately agree to attend the first meeting, which could be held as soon as Thursday.
JOHN BOEHNER House Speaker
The White House said that Vice President Joe Biden would lead talks, intended to break an impasse between congressional Democrats and Republicans over the scope of federal budget reductions. Republicans insist on extracting more than $60 billion
"We will look to these negotiations to find the c o m m o n ground that we believe exists," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
Republican leaders would not immediately say whether they would attend, demanding that Democrats first present their own budget offer, rather than simply criticizing the GOP's cuts. Republicans also complained that the White House did not personally extend an invitation.
said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. "We've done our work."
"It's time for them to outline for us what's their position to keep the government funded,"
Democrats maintain their opening offer is already on the table - a freeze in spending levels. Coupled with the reductions passed Wednesday, they contend they are halfway to meeting the GOP goal for federal spending reductions.
Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the Senate majority leader, dismissed GOP pressure to present a new Democratic plan as "foolishness."
"That's what negotiations are all about," Reid said.
The nature of the reductions sought by Republicans brought a renewed round of objections. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton again warned against steep foreign aid cuts, which she said would weaken national security.
"There have always been moments of temptation in our country to resist obligations beyond our borders. But each time we have shrunk from global leadership, events have summoned us back to reality," Clinton testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Dog found in fridge

Marisha Brown IMPRESSIONS UPON ARRIVAL

As a junior college transfer, Marisha Brown never thought adjusting to the Division one level of play would be easy.
"The competition is never as great, so it's going to be hard to get used to." Brown said.
But Brown is well-acustomed

"Now that everyone's as athletic as everyone else, all I can do now is work to be as athletic as I can and get better every day," Brown said.
Brown should help bolster the Jayhawk backcourt with what Henrickson described as a combination of speed, athleticism and strength. Add to that list her in-game experience: She started all 32 of her team's games last season and averaged 14 points and seven rebounds per contest.
She also said that her coaches and teammates were making the transition easier.

Campus reacts to Phelps
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
Speech is powerful, and protected, even when it offends.
Wednesday's Supreme Court ruling in favor of the right of Topeka's highly controversial Westboro Baptist Church to protest at military funerals has spurred a national debate that's many students and faculty on campus have continued. Many of them have seen these protests first-hand and are wrestling with conflicting notions of the right to free speech and the ideal of common decency.
"As a citizen, I think what they do is viile, horrible, mean, petty and disgusting," said Chris Crandall, professor of psychology. "But the law protects what they do, and that's what makes America great."
The 8-to-1 majority decision of the court affirmed this idea.
"Speech is powerful," Chief Justice John G. Roberts wrote for the decision, passed down Wednesday after four years of proceedings in the Snyder v. Phelps case. "It can stir
people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and — as it did here — inflict great pain."
But Kansas attorney general Derek Schmidt, a KU alumnus and Fall 1990 editor of The University Daily Kansan, disagreed with the ruling.
"Today's decision is a disappointment for Kansans who have endured for so long the embarrassment brought upon our state by the shameful conduct of the Westboro Baptist Church," Schmidt said in a media release Wednesday.
According to the release, his office intends to "defend vigorously the constitutionality of the Kansas Funeral Privacy Act if and when it is challenged."
Mark Johnson, adjunct professor in journalism and a First Amendment lawyer, understood the concerns of "vindication" for Phelps and his followers, but said the law is clear.
"Some worry that this will confirm that it's worthwhile and should be continued." Johnson said of the WBC's funeral protesting. "But even
The Supreme Court's decision just highlights the differences between law and ethics, Johnson said.
"You can sympathize with Snyder, but he does not have a case," he said. "The court leaves the morality of the protests up to you and me to decide."
unsavory speech is protected."
The "God hates fags" and similar protests evoke such strong reactions because of basic human nature, Carnell said. And it's a great thing the law goes against what people naturally feel.
In other words, First Amendment laws exist to protect people from others' natural reactions to ideas they don't like, creating a forum for all ideas.
("The law) stops people from enforcing community values and social norms; it allows dissent, even if it's disgusting," he said. "It creates a good, democratic society."
Even if you don't like the speech, he says, the need to protect it is powerful, too.

Aaron Dollinger, a member of the University's antihazing task force, said the IFC presidential position will remain vacant until December. The responsibilities of president will be distributed among the rest of the council.
Calls to the IFC office, Vice President Ben Pyle and the Office of Student Success were not returned.

Kansas at 4-4 after loss to UC Riverside in extra inning
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Another impressive pitching performance was put to waste by a lack of run support in the Jayhawks' extra-inning loss to UC Riverside in Surprise, Ariz., The 2-1 10th inning loss for the Jayhawks was their second extra-inning loss in eight games played so far this season. With the loss Kansas falls back to .500 at 4-4.
UC Riverside scored the go ahead run against the Jayhawks in the bottom of the 10th inning after senior Tony Nix hit an RBI single to center field that scored senior Ryan Goetz, off senior pitcher Scott Heitshusen.
Freshman pitcher Alex Cox, making just his second collegiate start, had quite an outing Thursday. Cox pitched six innings, and gave up six hits and three walks for one run. Cox managed to get out of jam after jam as the game went on, and showed the ability to get himself out of some tough situations.
"Alex had one heck of a performance," senior outfielder limmy Waters said. "That's one of the better performances I've seen out of a freshman."
Kansas came into Thursday's game hitting a lowly .180, and things didn't change for the Jayhawks against UC Riverside. Kansas managed to score only one run off four hits, continuing to give their pitching staff very little run-support.
At the helm of the batting problems is senior leader Jimmy Waters, the Jayhawks' top batter last season. Waters has not been able to give the Jayhawks any kind of spark at the plate, is batting .129 after nine games, and has just four hits in 31 plate appearances. Waters attributes some of his early
season struggles to opponents pitching to him differently.
"I think I've done a pretty good job of laying off most of it outside the zone," Waters said. "I just gotta find a way to hit the ball."
Along with Waters, two other senior leaders have yet to get things going at the plate in outfielder Casey Lytle and shortstop Brandon Macias. Lytle is hitting .156 with only two runs scored and one run batted in. Macias only has one hit in 24 at-bats so far this season for an average of .042.
If the Jayhawks hope to get back over .500 after this weekend and for the remainder of the season, Waters believes there is a simple sounding, but not so easy, fix to the team's early season woes.
"Plain and simple we have to hit the ball," Waters said.

LACROSSE
Kansas to take on Colorado squads
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
This weekend, the lacrosse team (3-2) will travel to Boulder, Colo. for a showdown with the University of Colorado and University of Northern Colorado.
"Northern Colorado is about even on our level of competition. Colorado ranked fourth in the nation versus our 75th ranking," coach Dennis Shults said. "It'll be a very tough game."
Since both of these games are non-conference, they will have no long-term implications on the Jayhawks' playoff eligibility.
The Jayhawks are coming off a triumph victory in Iowa, where they beat the Hawkeyes 15-10 and virtually won the division title.
The team is still led by Francis Enright, a senior from Winnetka, Ill., who has had 12 goals and 9 assists this season.
During the team's practices this week, Shults has been working a lot on the squad's penalty kill, specifically the players' positioning during the kill.
The Colorado squads will test
"You always want to win them all, but I think if we come back one-and-one, then it was a good weekend," he said.
Looking at the big picture, Shults sees this weekend as a way to get the University more recognition on the national stage.
Kansas thoroughly this weekend and Shults said he would be happy to come away from the weekend with one loss and one victory.
"A win against Colorado would definitely get us recognized on the national level," Shults said. "It's one thing I talk about a lot, the level of respect that we don't get, so I think it would definitely get us some respect."
This early in the season, one of the more challenging aspects for the Jayhawks is that they have not played a home game yet. After this third weekend out of town, the Jayhawks will stay put for a while with games against St. Cloud State, Arkansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, starting on March 11 against St. Cloud State.

KU TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The last time Missouri lost a home game was in last year's regular season finale to the No. 1 Jayhawks, 364 days prior to tipoff. On the road, the Tigers have been awful. All eight of their losses have been away from the confines of Mizzou Arena, and 17 of their 22 wins have been there. The average differential in the outcomes of the Tigers' home and road games against teams from the Big 12 North — the only teams they have played in both places — is 25.3 points. That's incredible. The Tigers are 25 points better at home than on the road. For the record, the Jayhawks won by 17 in the first meeting between these two this season. If Missouri's average holds, then Kansas will have a disappointing Saturday.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor
It looked like Taylor had already won his starting spot back when he started the second half of the Texas A&M game. Elijah Johnson finished it, though, and Self said
Taylor
Tenderer
after the game that Johnson would get the nod Saturday over Taylor. Taylor's love for starting has been well documented in the
past — every time he wins his starting job back (which is often, it seems), he talks about how much he likes starting and hearing his name called in introductions. Especially with how quick Missouri plays, Taylor may be the best fit for Kansas this weekend, and he could see considerable time alongside Johnson as well. But he will want that starting job back, and sooner rather than later.
How will Elijah Johnson handle Marcus Denmon and the Tigers?
QUESTION MARK
Johnson has played stellar defense over the last three games, starting with hounding Oklahoma State's Keiton Page into a 2-of-11 night from the field, shutting out Oklahoma's Carl Blair and playing so well down the stretch Wednesday that he rendered Tyshawn Taylor to an afterthought. If he gets Denmon defensively, he'll have to take his game to another level, though. Denmon has performed at an All-Big 12 level this season. Johnson will also be experiencing Missouri's press for the first time as the primary ball handler. He has the athleticism to run with the Tigers, but he hasn't faced a pressure defense like theirs.
HEARYE, HEARYE
"It's Missouri. It's the rivalry more than anything else. We could play shirts and skins with nobody in the stands, and I think our guys would be excited to play."

Elijah Johnson, guard
Coach Bill Self said Wednesday that he's sticking with Elijah Johnson as his starting point guard, but it'll be interesting to see how Johnson handles it with Tyshawn Taylor active. Johnson is at his best when he plays with a free mind, and Taylor's reinstatement could elicit one of two reactions: Johnson could get hot, or he could feel the pressure and wilt. Whatever happens, it'll play a huge role in who starts at point in the NCAA Tournament.

★★★☆☆
Brady Morningstar,guard
Reed
Sixty assists. 10 turnovers. Every game morningstar plays — save Oklahoma, when he had four assists against a shameful (shameful, I tell you!) three turnovers — he seems to make his incredible conference assist-to-turnover ratio even better. Against Texas A&M, he had four assists and zero turnovers. With a guy like Morningstar playing the off-guard, the importance of point guard play is diminished.

★★★★☆
It's pretty widely known amongst the Kansas sportswriter brigade that if you're looking for a quote about a player not liking Missouri very much, Tyrel Reed's your man. He's always happy to talk about how he grew up hating the Tigers, and he and Morningstar both said it'd be fun to end their last regular season at Missouri trying to clinch an outright title.
★★★☆☆
Marcus Morris, forward
PETER SHEWART
Marcus had a rough night Wednesday against the Aggies, but a rough night for him constitutes a good night for most. He finished with 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting with five rebounds. Missouri, unlike Texas A&M, doesn't play a grind-it-out game, meaning Marcus will get to run, meaning he'll get to score. Last time out against the Tigers he finished with 22 points and eight rebounds.
Mk. Morris
★★★★
Markieff struggled early, starting the game shooting just 3-0f-9 from the field. After the game, Marcus said Markieff was feeling like there was a lid on the basket. The lid came off in the second half, though, and Markieff finished with 13 points on 6-of-12 shooting. He had another offnight on the boards, though, which could prove costly down the line. He's too valuable to Kansas in that regard to be inconsistent.

Pressey is averaging five assists over the last three games and he had six against Kansas on Feb. 7. He scored 17 against the Jayhawks, but that isn't his forte. Pressey will need to control the ball. He is sixth in the Big 12 with a 1.83 assist-to-turnover ratio.

★★★☆★
Dennson was named the Most Improved Player in the Big 12 as a sophomore. This season his name is being thrown around in consideration for All-Big 12 First Team. He is the leader of this team and it's his. Dennson leads the Tigers in scoring and is seventh in the Big 12 with 16.8 points per game.

MADHAM GONZALEZ
Safford is getting the nod because it is Senior Day. He is the only senior on this team, but he might not be the only one leaving. Depending on what happens with the NBA, Denmon could leave for the NBA. Regardless, the spotlight will
be on Safford, because it's his last time playing at Mizzou Arena. During his time at Missouri he has been a part of a transformation. From a team that went 16-16 in his freshman year to a program that has 92 wins in his four years.
Safford

★★☆★★
Bowers
Laurence Bowers, forward
Bowers has scored in double figures in six of his last seven games including a 19-point performance against Kansas on Feb. 7. Bowers will need to play big, but can't afford to foul out like he did against Kansas. The bigs for Missouri are shallow, so any foul trouble spells trouble.

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Tomorrow is Senior Day for the Tigers and it's Justin Safford's last game as a Tiger in Columbia, Mo. Missouri has been perfect at home this season and will want to keep it that way. It will know what is at stake for Kansas and it will try to be Texas' Kansas State. It's an odd fact, but five of Kansas' last six losses have come on CBS. What network is showing the game tomorrow? CBS. It's just an interesting fact to note. Missouri scored 86 points and shot 52 percent from the floor, but came up short. Those stats anywhere else would be good enough for the Tigers to win.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Junior guard Marcus Denmon Denmon is fifth in the league in shooting percentage and steals, 51.1 percentand
1.77 per game, respectively.
He hits 46.5 percent of his threes, which is second behind Colorado's Levi Knutson, who
TEDRICK BABADEW
Denmon
makes 48.4 percent. Denmon had 11 points in the loss to Kansas on Feb.7, but he still poses problems. He can create his own shot, and he can create for others. If Denmon doesn't make the First Team he is certainly a lock for the Second Team. He will be the key for Missouri upsetting Kansas. He will need to control the team and tell his teammates to try to stay out of foul trouble. Last time against Kansas, three players fouled out.
QUESTION MARK
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
Will Missouri stay perfect at home?
"We can't think about how we just lost two games. We have a very good team in Kansas coming Saturday.We've got to turn our attention to the next game and start our peak right there."
Missouri has been abysmal on the road, especially in conference going 1-7, but it is 17-0 at home, it's last loss coming against a familiar foe: Kansas. Last year the Jayhawks defeated the Tigers 77-56, but this Tiger team is different. It plays the same style as it has in the past, but it is much more athletic and does a better job shooting the ball, 46.9 percent. There is more than just a perfect 18-0 season on the line; Missouri is going for the program's 1,500th victory. It would be the fifth Big 12 team to do so. Kansas has been excellent on the road, just one loss at Kansas State, but they are bound to have a slip up. Missouri should keep its perfect record at home and pick up win 1,500.

XII BIG 12 CONFERENCE
THE JAYHAWKS WILL SOAR IF...
THE TIGERS WILL ROAR IF...
They return to the offensive form they've showed for most of the season. Missouri's a fun game to watch, outside of rivalry reasons, because they like to get up and down the floor. It's not necessarily a game that will prepare the Jayhawks for late March, when they'll face top tier defenses, but it will be entertaining. Enjoy this one.
Their home court advantage stands. It's amazing how much better Missouri is at home — very few teams in the country have home-road splits that are so different. It's also vital for Kansas to come out of the gate fired up. Missouri is playing for a higher seed in the NCAA Tournament. Kansas could lose and still be a No.1, and it's already won the conference crown.

Cutting Federal Pell Grant Program will hurt future job market
EDITORIAL
The U.S. Congress is preparing to vote on wide-reaching budget cuts that will affect millions of college students across the country.
Both the president and Republicans in Congress have put forth proposals to cut funds to the Federal Pell Grant Program. While any cuts to this program will be harmful, Obama's proposal will result in slightly less damage than the Republics'.
The Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based grants to low-income college students. Different from loans, these grants do not have to be repaid. According to studentaid, ed.gov, the amount awarded depends on a student's financial need, costs to attend school, status as a full-time or part-time student and plans to attend
school for a full academic year or less.
The maximum Pell Grant award for the 2010-2011 year is $5,500.
According to the Kansan, 7.2 million students nation-wide received Pell Grants in 2009-2010. This includes 4,284 University of Kansas Pell Grant recipients.
Under Obama's plan, maximum aid will remain at $5,500, while the Republican proposal slashes maximum aid to $4,500. This is important because the maximum grant is also the Expected Family Contribution cutoff level for eligibility. Under Obama's plan a student with an EFC of $5,000 would be eligible for a grant, but not under the Republican proposal. As cited by the Kansan on Feb. 21, 1.7 million students would lose their eligibility for grants under the Republican proposal.
Obama's proposal would end supplemental Pell Grants starting in summer 2012. Since 2009, students planning to attend summer school could apply for a second Pell Grant to pay for school year-round. 650 KU students received a supplemental Pell Grant last year.
The loss of supplemental Pell Grants will certainly hurt students who need to attend school year-round, but will be less damaging than the loss of eligibility for any Pell Grants to 1.7 million students under the Republican proposal.
Drastic cuts to the Federal Pell Grant Program will result in fewer people attending college and therefore
fewer college graduates. This will only add to the budget deficit in the long run by reducing economic growth and negatively affecting future entries into the job market.
The current cost of the Pell Grant Program to the federal government is about $45 billion. Obama's proposal would cost about $35 billion and the Republican proposal about $25 billion.
The Republican proposal might save the government more money at first, but at what costs in the long run? Obama's proposal, while still harmful, is a compromise.

RELIGION
Q&A with Tyrel Reed: Keeping the faith alive
Practicing faith is a challenge. It takes support, enthusiasm and dedication. Tyrel Reed, senior guard on the men's basketball team, keeps his faith alive by making it a priority even in the midst of a crazy student athlete schedule. Wayne Simien, who retired from professional basketball two years ago to work in Christian ministry, meets with Reed and several other players on the team, for a weekly bible study.
I sat down with Reed to talk about how his faith has grown through basketball and the support of those closest to him.
What has your background in religion been like?
I went to church growing up with my family. I was baptized and confirmed
in the Catholic Church. When I was growing up, and started to get older, I started going to youth groups and certain things in high school (which led me to) a Baptist church. Now I go
Reed
to a non-denominational church called Morningstor here in Lawrence.
How do you juggle being a student and keeping an active faith?
In my life, I put Jesus before everything. He is the most important person in my life. There are times when I have to juggle a little bit, though. I've got basketball and school. There are times when you have to be good at time management, so that you're able to do all the things that you want.
How did the bible study with Wayne Simien get started?

here. Once he got done playing professionally, he wanted to start ministering to athletes. I was very encouraged by that and wanted to meet with him. There is a 'By the Kingdom Living' book we went through the first semester. They encourage us to meet one-on-one if we want as well.
How do you combine your faith with basketball and school?
I think faith can be apart of your everyday life. We pray every day before practice. Before each game, as a team, we say the Lord's Prayer together before we run out of the tunnel. Coach Self is oriented in faith as well, and he allows us to practice our faith. With school-work, I think whether you want to do it or not, you are doing the work for the Lord. Just go at it as hard as you can.
What advise do you have for other students who try to keep an active faith?
If you have a heart for God and a heart for the Lord, just really focus on him and know that he is in charge of everything. You can't try and separate one from the other. Overall try to be a good person. Do the right things and just be nice to everybody. That's one way of showing your faith.

The high court should not silence the Westboro Baptists, we should
I have just read the Associated Press article on the Supreme Court's defense of the Westboro Baptist Church and its right to free speech.
As a native Topekan, I am appalled that such a cruel group of people have thrived so near my childhood home. However, I agree with the Supreme Court's ruling: their right to free speech is important for the prosperity of the American individual, and limits on their hurtful attacks cannot be made through the courts.
Instead, I urge the nation to follow, in Topeka and Lawrence's example of legal tolerance but extreme personal disdain. It is our duty to voice our vehement disagreement with their racist, homophobic, treasonous propaganda, but I urge each of us to fight them on their home court: the powerful arena of public opinion.
As Fred Phelps and his family urge us to "mourn our sins," I ask that we lead the nation in mourning their deep misunderstandings. The Westboro Baptists have weaponized the fallibility of the military, government and individual; however, we
understand that the strong bully is himself a scared boy, as terrified by larger evils as the children he tortures.
The Westboro Baptists fight evil with evil, and we cannot continue this cycle. Through a display of personal strength, let us resurrect questions in their children's minds that erased by cultish propaganda, quelling a new generation of zealots.
I want the nation to understand that Kansas is not characterized by blind anger and shortsightedness.I want the Kansas political climate to evolve from the creationist school board curricula and hateful Fred Phelps clans and display the compassion, reason and strength of character we associate with the Midwest.
A nation cannot defeat this monster, but the individual can. Perhaps as we, one by one, soften their resolve, we can watch the dissolution of Fred Phelps' nauseating agenda.

Sorry, orangutans, it's hard to choose forests over Thin Mints
In late February, environmentalist Glenn Hurowitz ran an opinion piece in The Huffington Post congratulating two Girl Scouts who were forgoing the traditional Girl Scout cookie sale because of the cookies' connection to deforestation in Southeast Asia.
You did a great job, you really did.
You made hilarious faces, you looked adorable in human clothes and throwing feces at zoo patrons. Priceless. The thing is, we love Girl Scout cookies.
They're amazing. I like to take the Thin Mints and put them in the freezer overnight. Have you ever had a frozen Thin Mint cookie? Of course not, you're an

So long, orangutans!
Now, I know this doesn't make a lot of sense to you. You're looking around and you're thinking, "What is going on? Why are these cookies such a big deal?" But Girl Scout cookies aren't just cookies, they're charity you can eat.
You just couldn't understand. We'd like to help you, we would, but we're going to have to let you go.
The reason they're so much more popular than their store-bought imitators is because, with Girl Scout cookies, you can purchase snacks that are pretty

You don't want that to happen to the Girl Scouts, do you? Be reasonable.
Frankly, you're not presenting much of a defense. We already made "Dunston Checks In," what else could you possibly offer us?
When it comes down to it, we just don't like you as much as other apes. Chimps have cemented their place in pop culture with their childlike charm and indelible icons like Michael Jackson's Bubbles or Chim-Chim from "Speed Racer" Gorillas have inspired classic films like "King Kong," the
We have to warn you, though, we've gotten pretty comfortable with the way things are, so your environmental solutions better not require very much work. The fact is, if we had to, we would brain you with a box of Tagalongs and we wouldn't even feel guilty about it because Tagalongs are delicious.
You know what? We'll give you a second chance. We're a fair species, and we wouldn't want a fellow primate to go extinct if there were some way to avoid it. If you can somehow convince us that the lives of you and your fellow animals are worth more than boxes of cookies, we will halt the production of palm oil.

Oscars could learn from the NFL
This year the Academy Awards tried to lure in a younger audience with two young hosts, James Franco and Anne Hathaway. We have a term for this in sports — it's called rebuilding.
MORNING BREW

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Billy Crystal hosted the Academy Awards seven times in an 11-year span. After this consistency, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences could have been looking for the same consistency in the young Hathaway and Franco, but clearly the critics thought they could not shoulder the responsibility.

Instead of banking on two relatively young stars to hit one out of the park, the Academy should have been honest with its plans to rebuild, much like the Detroit Lions of the past decade(s).
THE MORNING BREW
The Detroit Lions have never inflated their expectations for the season (at least not until next season, when they will have high expectations because of their amazing 6-10 record).
are those we don't see coming, which is why we always pull for the underdog. Although it is rare, a rebuilding team occasionally catches heat and makes a run. Rarely, though, does this ever lead to championships.
The rebuilding approach is popular in the sports realm, and although the phrase can conjure up images of watching the equivalent of a minor league team compete day in and day out, every little success of the rebuilding team brings that much more iov to the fans.
If you remember a few years back to the 2008 NFL season, the Atlanta Falcons decided to rebuild by giving playing time to its young players, including rookie quarterback Matt Ryan. The Falcons, sparked by the emergence of Michael Turner in the backfield, made a surprise visit to the playoffs even though almost everyone picked the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints ahead of the Falcons.
As baseball season approaches, many loyal Kansas City Royals fans will be dreading the possibility of another long summer at the cellar of the American League
Central Division. But going in with low expectations will only make any early wins that much better, and the Royals are at the top of the Cactus League standings, even if it is only after four games.
Lets face it; the most enjoyable victories
But unlike a sports team, the Oscars should not have to rebuild. They are the New York Yankees, capable of getting any star they want. They can try to broaden their appeal by bringing in younger hosts, but what they really don't understand is that many young people don't have long enough long enough attention spans to last through the whole show. And while I will gladly sit through three days of NFL draft coverage, I can only hear so many acceptance speeches in one night.

Kansas sits atop the Big 12 moving into the championship
1. Kansas National Ranking: No.2 AP No.2 Coaches Poll Record: (28-2) Overall(13-2) Conference
A win on Saturday at Missouri gives Kansas the outright Big 12 title. It also ruins the Tiger's Senior Day. Kansas has won seven straight conference titles, the same amount of losses Bill Self has at Allen Fieldhouse.
**Last Week:** Def. Oklahoma State 92-65 (2/21), Def. Oklahoma
80-72 (2/26)
**This Week:** Def. Texas A&M 64-51 (3/2), 3/5 at Missouri
2. Texas National Ranking: No. 7 AP No. 8 Coaches Poll Record: (24-6) Overall (12-3) Conference
Last Week: Def. Iowa State 76-53 (2/22), Lost to Colorado 91-89
(2/26)
Texas will need the help Kansas received on Monday. In a 10-day span, the Longhorns lost three of four games and first place in the Big 12. Luckily for them Kansas goes to Missouri, which hasn't lost at home. Bad news is that Texas plays at Baylor where ESPN Gameday is being hosted.
This Week: Lost to Kansas State 75-70 (2/28) 3/5 at Baylor
3. Kansas State National Ranking: Recieved Votes AP Received Votes Coaches Poll Record: (21-9) Overall (9-6) Conference
This team continues to improve and is on a tear recently. The Wildcats are on a five-game winning streak with three of the victories being against Top 25 teams. This team went from going to the NIT to a solid NCAA lock in just more than three weeks.
Last Week: Def. Nebraska 61-15 (2/23), Def. Missouri 80-70 (2/26)
This Week: Texas 75-70 (2/5), 3/5 vs. Iowa State
4. Missouri National Ranking No. 22 AP No. 24 Coaches Poll Record:(22 B) Overall (8-7) Conference
It's an early tip in Columbia (11 a.m. against the Jayhawks. The Tigers will want a good night's rest tonight to be prepared for tomorrow. Missouri lost at Kansas State last week and at Nebraska this week giving Missouri at 1-7 record on the road in conference.
Last Week: Def. Baylor 77-59 (2/23), Lost to Kansas State 80-70 (2/26)
This Week: Lost to Nebraska 69-58 (3/1), 3/5 vs. Kansas
5. Texas A&M National Ranking: No. 24 AP No. 22 Coaches Poll Record: (2-7) Overall (9-6) Conference
The five-game winning streak came to an abrupt halt. Though Texas A&M's streak isn't that impressive, it won four games by five points or less and defeated the last four teams in the conference: Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Iowa State.
Last Week: Def. Oklahoma 61-47 (2/23), Lost to Baylor 58-51(2/26)
This Week: Lost to Kansas 64-51 (3/2), 3/5 vs. Texas Tech
Just when Colorado thought it was putting its dancing shoes on, Iowa State had other plans. The Cyclones dashed the hopes of the Buffalooes on Tuesday night, which were coming off a 22-point comeback to defeat Texas on Saturday.
Last Week: Def. Texas Tech 71-68 (2/23),Def. Texas 91-89 (2/26)
This Week: Lost to Iowa State 95-90 (3/2), 3/5 at Nebraska
6. Colorado Unranked Record:(18-12) Overall (7-8) Conference
7. Baylor Unranked
Record: (17-9) Overall (7-8) Conference This is the most confusing team in the Big 12. It has so much talent, but it squanders it all the time. It will take one step forward by defeating Texas A&M but will take two steps back by losing to Oklahoma State. The Bears still have a chance to make the dance, but they will need to defeat a struggling Texas squad and win at least one game in the Big 12 tournament. Last Week: Lost to Missouri 77-59 (2/23). Def. Texas A&M 58-51
This Week: Lost to Oklahoma State 71-60 (3/1), 3/5 vs. Texas
8. Nebraska Unranked Record:(19-10) Overall (7-8) Conference
Saturday against Colorado was supposed to be more than just a game between the two schools leaving the conference. It looked like it would have NCAA tournament implications until Iowa State defeated both. But the win is important. One team will be .500 in conference play, which looks much better than having a losing record in conference.
Last Week: Lost to Kansas State 61-57 (2/23), Lost to Iowa State
83-82 (2/26)
This Week: Def. Missouri 69-58 (3/1), 3/5 at Colorado
9. Oklahoma State Unranked
Oklahoma State picked up nice victories against Texas Tech and Baylor after losing four in a row, three to ranked teams. The Cowboys finish the season on the road against the Sooners.
Last Week: Lost to Kansas 92-65 (2/21), Def. Texas Tech 70-68 (2/26)
This Week: Def. Baylor 71-60 (3/1), 3/5 at Oklahoma
10. Iowa State Unranked Record:(16-14) Overall (3-12) Conference
After 10 straight losses, the Cyclones are on a two game winning streak. The two wins are at the expense of the two teams that helped Kansas: Nebraska and Colorado. It's a nice parting gift for the two schools leaving the Big 12, both who were in the thick of a potential NCAA tournament bid after defeating Texas. But Iowa State looked to burst the bubbles.
Last Week: Lost to Texas 76-53 (2/22), Def. Nebraska 83-82 (2/26)
This Week: Def. Colorado 95-90 (3/2), 3/5 at Kansas State
11. Texas Tech Unranked Record (13-17) Overall (5-10) Conference
Texas Tech is 1-1 against teams from Oklahoma in its last two games. It finishes with a good Texas A&M team that hung tough with Kansas on Wednesday.
Last Week: Lost to Colorado 71-68 (2/23), Lost to Oklahoma State 70-68 (2/26)
This Week: Def. Oklahoma 84-58 (3/2) 3/5 vs. Texas A&M
12. Oklahoma Unranked Record:(12-17) Overall (4-11) Conference
If the Sooners aren't careful, they could find themselves 4-12 in back-to-back seasons. Bill Self said that this Sooner team is better than what its record says.
Last Week: Lost to Texas A&M 61-47 (2/23), Lost to Kansas 82-70 (2/26)
This Week: Lost to Texas Tech 84-58 (3/2), 3/5 vs. Oklahoma State

Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson stays on the heels of Texas senior guard B.J. Holmes. Johnson's relentless defensive play earned him a spot on the starting lineup for the past two games
Impressive showing on defense one way to win Self's favor.

Well, maybe not your life. But at least your playing time.
Elijah Johnson bought into the principle and leapfrogged Tyshawn Taylor and Josh Selby for the startling point guard spot before the Oklahoma State game. He is now, even with Taylor reinstated, the prohibitive favorite to start for the Jayhawks for the rest of the year. He managed the feat by turning himself into a lockdown defender, maybe the best on the team.
There's an easy way to get on coach Bill Self's good side: Defend like your life depends on it.

thing happened.
Johnson was essentially out of the rotation before Taylor's suspension. In the four games before the Oklahoma State game, he was averaging nine minutes. Since, he's averaging 21.3. Johnson won the job because Taylor was suspended and Selby missed a walkthrough, but he'll keep it because he's done everything Self has asked, Self said.

"If you focus in on doing the right thing by making winning plays to help your team win that possession, you perform better."
Self said Thursday. "He didn't score yesterday, but I really thought the last 10 minutes he was terrific defensively."
defensively.
Defense wasn't, for Johnson, something he had ever had to work at, he said. Johnson is one of the most cerebral players on the team; he analyzes every part of the game, and if he has a fatal flaw, it's overthinking. It worked for him in high school, but at Kansas, it was an early struggle.
Then Self called him out before the Oklahoma State game, and Johnson has since fallen in love with the defensive side of the game.

"I used to kind of dread it, but it was something I wanted to get good at," Johnson said. "When Coach threw the challenge at me, it was like a complete 180. I actually enjoy the defensive end more than I enjoy the offensive end in games."
"I've never had to play defense," Johnson said. "I always just outsmarted people and stopped the plays. When you get to college, you realize that people are just as smart as you and you have to play a lot of defense."

Self said he didn't necessarily see it as a direct competition between Taylor and Johnson. He has three guard spots, he said, and would play a point guard at all three of them. Problem is, two of the three spots are full.
"I don't think it will create any negativity between those two," Self
said, "but the reality is Brady and Tyrel have been pretty good in the other two spots."

"I think it's something that is definitely possible, but I'm just focusing on winning and being better for my team."

Boogaard also ready for final home game
Senior forward Krysten Boogaard got to practice early and focused on free throw shooting. She was calm and concentrated. Across the court freshman Keena Mays laughed and practiced trick shots from the baseline and from half court. The Jayhawks are caught in this strange limbo of focus and excitement as they face the end of the season.

Saturday Kansas will face Kansas State for senior night to end a tumultuous regular season. The game will tip off at 6:30 p.m.
Kansas had been on a three-game win streak before losing to No. 24 Iowa State 72-36. The Jayhawks stayed with the Cyclones, pulling the game within three points with 17 minutes left in the game. Then the Cyclones went on a 47-16 run to finish off the Jayhawks, who had unexpectedly defeated them in overtime earlier in the season.
"It means a lot, we have to work hard and play together to make this the best game of the season," Boogaard said.
Kansas' forwards got into early foul trouble, which kept sophomore Carolyn Davis and junior Aishah Sutherland on the bench.
"We just have to know that we are better than that." Boogaard said. "We have to come back with a lot of confidence and I know we will."
One positive was the return of senior guard Marisha Brown from a two game suspension.
"I didn't want to be sitting out like that." Brown said.
Regarding senior night, Brown is glad to be back after injuries and the suspension this season.
"It is going to be a bittersweet moment because I am a senior and I have accomplished a lot but it will be my last game at Allen Fieldhouse and I don't want it to end," Brown said.
Now that she is back, Brown is ready to make to make an influence on the team as it looks toward post season opportunities following this last game.
"I just want to do the best that I can to help my team and I want us to "ry to make a run," Brown said.

Seniors' stories to come full circle soon
BY NICO ROESLER
nroesler@kansan.com
His dad told me when he came here that we'd win a
least one national championship," coach Bill Self said on Senior Night about Tyrel Reed.
That was almost four years ago. And in just a month, it will have been three years since the first National Championship for Kansas since 1988. Reed's dad was right about one thing: the team won a championship, but he has yet to be proven prophetic when it comes to the "at least" part.
Most students find a way to frame their time in college. It's only natural. That frame can be set by their time in the dorms, meeting new friends that would last much longer than four years, and concluded something like the walk down the hill on graduation day.
There is a desire in people's hearts for a beginning, middle and end. just as there is a need for most stories to have the same elements. We want to be able to tell a good story.
But truly, it was an incentive moment. Where do you go when you've already reached the top? Well, you stay there.
Aristotle — yes I'm going there in a sports column — said all good tragedies had what was called an incentive moment. If we look at Reed's story, his incentive moment was something that many would look at as a climax of a career. Winning the national championship.
The incentive is to not fall from that perch. You can be sure Tyrel Reed hasn't lost the feeling he felt that day. I don't think any Kansas fans have.
the last two seasons, although they have ended with Kansas atop the Big 12, have ended with losses too early in March for many Kansas fans to call a successful tournament run. Yes, a victory in Colombia this Saturday will add to a great story this season. On top of Kansas' dismantling of Missouri at home on Feb. 7, 103-86, winning just as big at its house would add cream to an already stuffed Oreo. But it's not the big cookie.
The middle of Reed's career goes against what Aristotle might have called a proper tragedy, however. It has added tension and a sense of emotional connection, not only to Reed but also to the rest of the seniors.
Senior Brady Morningstar knows how he wants the end of his Kansas basketball story to play out.
"Coach D. (Danny Manning). I want to thank you for all you have done and I just hope we get to go out like you did," Morningstar said in his senior speech referring to Manning's 1988 National Championship.
That is what Aristotle calls resolution. It is where everything comes full circle. It seems Morningstar and Reed have a sense of the closing of the circle. They have knotted up yet another Big 12 conference title. They have placed themselves in the best position possible in the NCAA tourney with a No.1 seed.
Now all that remains is the fulfillment of their years at Kansas. The climax.

Denman appreciates the sense of camaraderie that comes along with many hours of practicing.

Graphic by Andrea Olsen
With their senior design project in mechanical engineering, four students are developing the technology to take wind power to Third World countries. Their goal is to construct wind turbines out of salvaged materials that can be found on-site and easily built.The technology would bring power to small villages that don't have the money or access to a power grid.
Third World Wind is currently testing their prototype turbine before writing a building manual to distribute to world aid organizations. Ideally the technology will be used in areas of South America or somewhere with similar wind speeds.

Dana Wreath, vice president of Brexco, said the project was an unusual one for his company.
Statoil, a major Norwegian oil and gas company, has been conducting large-scale, commercial carbon sequestration in the North Sea since 1996. Carbon sequestration projects are now underway at dozens of locations in the U.S. funded in part by the Department of Energy.
"You could be seeing a new industry created," Wreath said. "The preliminary information is that it looks good."
OTHER STUDIES RAISE QUESTIONS Not all researchers are convinced

Economides said using sequestration to mitigate against climate change was not feasible, and that many researchers and government officials were promoting unrealistic projections.

Members of SUA split the groups into heats. The first heat received their clue and bolted out of the Union at noon. The following heats left over the next 20 minutes. They ran out of the union energized, excited, and eager to win. They returned to the Union throughout the day, exhausted, sweating, panting and wondering one thing: 'Was our team fast enough to win the prize?'
Amazing Race makes its way to KU
These teams were participating in the SUAs inaugural Jayhawks Amazing Race. The students spent the day running across campus, answering clues and completing challenges. The event followed the format of the popular TV show 'The Amazing Race.'
BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com
"It's pretty fun," Nancy DeLeon, participant and a sophomore from Bonner Springs, said. "Though there is way more running involved than I would have thought."
At 11:55 a.m. on Sunday, 66 students, split into 22 three-person teams, sat in the lobby of the Kansas Union. They retied tennis shoes, drank Gatorade and discussed which $500 prize they would choose if they won.
.
The race began with each team receiving a clue at the Union. The clues, which involved pieces of KU history or trivia, led to a destination where the team would have to complete a challenge.
"We want to enlighten people about KU," SUA member Brian Doe said. "That's the main encouragement for the event we worked hard to involve KU and KU history."
The challenges included eating an entire box of saltine crackers, bowling three strikes at the Jay Bowl, and throwing a frisbee at Robinson Field.
"The cracker one wasn't the hardest but definitely sucked the most," Adam Greenhaw, participant and a junior from Independence said.
"You were running all day and had cotton mouth and then had to eat like 100 crackers."

Upon completing a challenge, the team would receive another clue leading to the next location and challenge. Each team had to answer 11 clues and complete ten challenges. The final clue led back to the race's finish at the Kansas Union. No vehicles were allowed during the race.
If the team did not complete a challenge properly, they received a time penalty to be added onto the team's final time. The team with the fastest time after counting penalties would be declared the winner.
Mark Giuliani, a junior from Naperville, ILL, (left) and teammate Matt Abraham, a juniro from Overland Park, wait in line to fill out paperwork after finishing SIUAS Amazing Race.
Different teams had different strategies for preparing for the event.
"We stayed in and studied for it," DeLeon said. "We know where the Oregon trail marker is. We know the first chancellor was Oliver."
Tanner Burns, a freshman from Topeka, said his team took a different approach.
Some of the 40 SUA members working the event reported receiving complaints from contestants throughout the race that the challenges and clues were too hard.
"We just went out and drank last night," he said. "I tried to back out in the morning. I felt terrible, I told them to find a new partner."
"It's called the Amazing Race for a reason." Doe said. "Not the easy race, not the good race, but the Amazing Race."
Each member of the first-place team or the team finishing with the fastest time got to choose between an Xbox 360 with Kinect installed, an iPad, or a 42-inch TV. Each of these prizes is valued around $500. Members of the second place team received a $100 gift certificate to

Bakery owner closes up shop
BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE
Inightengale@kansan.com
The Pink Box Bakeshop's pink door and window displays have attracted customers since 2009, but now under the trademark pink block letters hangs a sign announcing the business's imminent closure.
The bakeshop, 727 Massachusetts St., opened when owner Michele Kaminski took a break from her career in brand marketing to make her hobby into a full-time occupation. After about two years in business, Kaminski has decided to return to marketing and plans to sell her business.
Kaminski's sign states that offers to buy the business will still be considered, and she is currently working with other potential buyers.
"I'm talking to some people and they are working on whether or not they can make it happen," Kaminski said.
In addition to the building space, buyers wishing to continue the Pink Shop Bakeshop business model would be able to purchase Kaminski's recipes. She said she would sell the recipes for the entire menu unless the new business owner wants to take over the existing business.
The bakeshop will remain open until March 17, and will close immediately after the St. Patrick's Day parade.
Kaminski could offer no specific information about potential buyers, and remains open to offers from other prospective owners.

Study says HPV vaccine is safe and effective for men
Doctors recommend vaccine for prevention of infection and cancer in men and women
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
The study reports on Gardasil, one of the two HPV vaccines currently available. The study tested the application of the vaccine among men and boys against a control group and found that it is effective in preventing infection. The vaccine also proved effective in preventing the development of genital warts, which is the most common symptom of the disease in men. HPV can also cause cancers of the penis, anus, head and neck in men.
A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine reports that a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is safe and effective for males. Doctors have recommended the vaccine to females for more than 10 years.
HPV is generally considered to be a greater threat to women, as it causes 12,000 cases of cervical cancer each year. Cervical cancer is particularly dangerous because it typically does not show symptoms until it is already advanced.
The vaccine is available at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins, said the University helped develop the vaccine from its experimental stages to commercial development, serving as a test site in the 1990s.
Vaccination of males can be an effective means of preventing the spread of the disease if they have not already been infected. For this reason, some medical professionals recommend that the vaccine be administered to individuals before they become sexually active.
before they become sexually actu. The Center for Disease Control recommends vaccination as one means of preventing infection and spread of the disease, as well as the associated symptoms. Jeff Dimond, a spokesperson for the CDC, said the data in the study was available when the vaccine was licensed for use by the FDA.
"So, this was taken into consideration when we deliberated on the vaccine in 2009," Dimond said.
The study reported that the vaccine was safe
and caused no higher incidence of side effects than did the placebo. Denning said that there is a risk of side effects with any vaccine. Possible side effects of any vaccine range from the common soreness and swelling around the injection site to fainting or, in rare cases, the development of Guillan-Barre syndrome, which affects the immune system.
Denning said it was the policy at Watkins that patients remain seated for 10-15 minutes after a vaccination in case of a fainting spell.
Watkins administers both Gardasil and Cervarix, a second vaccine that is only administered to females. Gardasil is available to males and females between the ages of nine and 26 and offers protection against four strains of HPV, including those that cause genital warts and the various types of cancer. Cervarix protects against two strains of HPV that cause cancer.
Gardasil is administered in a series of three injections over a period of six months, each of which costs $150. Denning said the cost may or may not be covered by insurance, but students are welcome to call for information or to make an appointment.

University spring blood drive kicks off on campus
BY KELSEY RICHARDSON krichardson@kansan.com
The Spring 2011 Blood Drive kicks off today and will last the entire week. The blood donated will go to the American Red Cross and the Community Blood Center in Kansas City, Mo.
The Community Blood Center covers 70 counties in Kansas and Missouri. It services 75 hospitals, including Lawrence Memorial Hospital, the University of Kansas Medical Center, Children's Mercy and all hospitals in Topeka and Kansas City. The American Red Cross supplies approximately 40 percent of the nation's blood supply, according to redcrossblood.org.
"It's important to donate blood to help give back to your community," said Leann DeLong, donor recruiter at the Community Blood Center. "It's just a good thing to do."
Many donation opportunities were lost because of the recent harsh winter weather, which made travel dangerous. March and April are the college and high school donation seasons, and the Community Blood Center hopes it will be able to make up for lost donations with the help of students, DeLong said.
The goal is to collect 850 units at the blood drive this week. One unit equals one pint, and it can save up to three lives, according to redcrossblood.org.
"I sure would like to see all of the KU students and faculty, and even the community, come in and
donate so we can meet that goal and hopefully exceed it," DeLong said.
Valerie Shea, a junior from Hutchinson and president of the University's Blood Drive Committee, got involved with the group three semesters ago. Shea's main duty is to promote the blood drives and recruit students at the University to get involved. The American Red Cross and the Community Blood Center provide the supplies and take care of setting up for the event.
As extra incentive to get students to donate blood, a pizza party will be thrown for each sorority, fraternity and scholarship hall that donates the most blood. The dorms will also be participating, and the floor in each dorm that donates the most blood wins, Shea said.
The fall semester attracts around 1,000 people who are willing to donate blood, but that number drops in the spring, Shea said. The goal goes from 1,000 people in the fall to 800 people in the spring because of the lack of people who show up to make blood donations.
To be eligible to donate, you must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and cannot have donated blood within the last 56 days.
"A lot of students don't see people our age needing blood, but we do." Shea said.
Emily Thompson, a senior from Topeka and member of Chi Omega, was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
on January 20, 2010. Thompson had to drop out of school for the spring semester of 2010, but came back in the fall of 2010.
Thompson received numerous blood donations from the Community Blood Center throughout her cancer treatment. She said she would not be alive today without the blood she received while undergoing chemotherapy.
"Whenever you get chemo, they knock out all of your blood," Thompson said.
Thompson received blood transfusions at Westwood Campus, a cancer treatment center at the University of Kansas Medical Center. She received regular blood and blood platelets.

"I want to thank everyone who did donate blood so I could be here today," Thompson said. "As a 20-year-old, I never thought that I would get cancer. I'm just a normal college student in a sorority having fun with my friends, and then it hits you. It just happens."
Thompson also said it was imperative for students to realize that young people were in need of blood and not just older people.
"I asked my doctor last time I went in, and he said that out of the people that come to the clinic, almost two-thirds of them receive blood every day," Thompson said. "It's just so important to have blood products available for people, because it can save a life."
Ashley Krass, a junior from Overland Park, donated blood at last year's blood drive at the Kansas Union."I like giving back to the community and helping out,"Krass said.

Naismith's 'Rules of Basket Ball' on display
It's not much to look at.
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
It's worn and yellowing. It's deteriorating as more and more time passes since it was first typed up and pinned to the wall of a dingy gymnasium in 1891. Its typed lines have been smudged with scribles of black ink where its author desired a correction or two.
Really, it's just two pieces of cheap typewriter paper, with 13 simple rules to a made-up game and posted "for the boys to learn."
Museum.
Today, it's not much to look at, but it's a piece of art, a piece of history, and a part of a myth. It's a document, despite its humble beginnings, that's changed the world.
A press conference was held Friday at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, 4525 Oak Street, Kansas City, Mo., to reveal James Naismith's Original Rules of Basketball, an exhibit apart of the Booth Family Collection.
It's James Naismith's original "Rules of Basket Ball," that was unveiled Friday at the the
"It's an important American cultural document because the creation of the game was the blending of the physical, academic and spiritual," said Margi Conrads, the new exhibit's head curator.
That game, of course, is basketball, a game played and adored by millions around the world. The game and its creator — the Canadian-born Naismith, the University of Kansas' only coach with a losing record — is talked about in grandiose terms.
Naismith came up with the 13 original rules, many of which bear little to no resemblance to the rules of college basketball today, in Springfield, Mass. He posted them to a wall in the YMCA where he was working, and, seven years later, took the still-new game to
"We're here today to celebrate the talent, ingenuity and creative spirit of Naismith, a genius entrepreneur," said Julián Zugazagoitia, the Nelson-Atkins' director. "Few games have been invented rather than evolved — this document is the birth certificate of a game that's changed the world."
Lawrence, where the original document sat in a drawer in his house on University Drive.
More than 120 years later, Naismith's descendants sold the two pages for more than $4.3 million, a record for sports memorabilia, in a New York auction. The winning bidders were David and Suzanne Booth, long-time donors to the University. The losing bidders included the Smithsonian.
Since then, the Booths have spoken enthusiastically about bringing the historic document back to the University. It wasn't written here, but this is its home, David Booth insists — Lawrence is basketball's home.
"It was in Lawrence that Naismith really made the game," Booth said at the press conference. "The rules don't belong in Springfield — there's a McDonald's on the spot where that YMCA was, there's not tradition there."
Booth and others spoke proudly about the tradition felt here.

"The inspiration Naismith had and continues to give is astounding," KU athletics director Sheahon Zenger said. "To think of the socio-

KU competes for Snoop Dogg concert
To advertise for its new game Bulletstorm, EA SPORTS is sponsoring a competition to bring Snoop Dogg to a college campus. The contest is conducted entirely on Facebook and has 1,400 schools from around the U.S. competing.
Mark Rissien, a senior from Overland Park, has been voting every day for the past week, and is up to about 18 votes. "I've seen him before and it's a great show," Rissien said. "I don't know if he has openers or anything, but it would also be really cool to have someone like B Double E or another student open."
Students can vote daily on the Facebook page, "Bring Snoop Dogg to KU!!! To get more votes you can participate in different things like watching a short video or buying the game.
KU is currently in 14th place and has until March 15 to get more votes. While KU is still a ways from the top, Sammy Greenberg, promoter for the event, says we still have one
advantage.
"Our spring break is late this year. All the other schools are going to be gone the last week of the competition, so while they are gone I can still promote and get more votes."
Greenberg said the top ten haven't changed much, so it will be tough to move up from here. EA SPORTS doesn't give out any of the numbers so it is hard to tell exactly how many more votes we need. But in three days we went from 26 to 14, so there might still be a chance.
If Snoop Dogg does make it to Lawrence, Rissien says he hopes we can get pictures of Snoop sporting a JayHawk jersey.

Sheen calls NBC's Jeff Rossen a 'rock star'
NEW YORK — Here's something for Jeff Rossen to ponder after a crazy week: Is being called a "rock star" by Charlie Sheen good or bad for his career in television journalism?
Rossen, an NBC News correspondent who works chiefly for the "Today" show, played a prominent role in the actor's bizarre media tour to bash his bosses for suspending "Two and a Half Men," and explain a lifestyle of drugs and "goddesses."
It was Rossen whom Sheen later described as a "rock star" whose interview was "pure gold".
"I think what he meant by calling me a rock star is that I kept my word to him" said Rossen.
Rossen's boss, "Today" show executive producer Jim Bell, called him a versatile and relentless reporter.
"He's in the throes of a life crisis," he said. "As we would with a celebrity, as we would with any public figure that the public is interested in hearing from, we are telling their story."

Often times being charitable means giving something up that you won't get back. Donating time or money improves lives through another's sacrifice However, there is one way to donate with hardly any sacrifice at all — giving blood.
Donate to KU Blood Drive and help save lives
The KU Blood Drive began today and lasts through Friday. Students can visit kublooddrive.com to find out more about eligibility to donate and also to find locations on campus to donate this week.

Cross, someone needs a blood transfusion every two seconds, and 5 million patients in the U.S. need blood every year. Most people don't think they'll ever need blood, but many do. Less than 38 percent of the population is eligible to give blood and only 7 percent of people in the U.S. have the universal blood type, O negative. With so many people needing blood everyday, it is crucial that those who can donate do.

One pint of blood can save up to three lives. Unlike time or money, which some people might not be able to give, blood is something most people can spare. Blood cannot be manufactured. It can only be given by volunteer donors, and is needed everyday to save lives.

'Odd Future' tests the limits of pop culture
CULTURE
Recently, music critics on both coasts have been especially smitten with Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, a Los Angeles hip-hop collective mostly comprised of teenagers who aren't ashamed to call themselves bastards.
As much as their precocious talents have been extolled by pundits and labels (their de facto leader, Tyler The Creator, recently signed to XL Recordings, which handles Radiohead, M.I.A. and Vampire Weekend), it's their content that has the blogosphere gushing over the outfit.
"Kill people! Burn shit! Fuck school!" is their motto, and many of their songs meditate on kidnapping, blasphemy, rape and various forms of torture. Odd Future expands upon these short anti-platitudes by testing the creative boundaries of taboo topics in such songs as "Splatter," in which the image of someone molesting a woman in an elderly home slaps listeners across the face.
Oddly enough, these very reasons read like what's expected from students in an anthropology course, where empathy and disassociating from culturally inculcated paradigms guarantee positive teacher feedback on papers.
"The Don't Cover Their Mouth, Don't Cover Your Eyes Argument." OFWGKTA gives voice to a set of thoughts that most don't want to hear because it is so awfully graphic. In this sense popular morality marginalizes their expression. Their music forces us to consider a lifestyle that we'd rather not because it is so different and so ghoulishly outside of our comfort zone.
Though their lyrics have understandably disengaged some, an exponentially growing Internet following has expressed a number of reasons why they support the most current and perhaps most extreme provocateurs in entertainment.
In fact, it's an attempt to understand this mindset that proves to be Tyler the Creator's main muse — he doesn't actually commit the atrocities he raps about, he's just fascinated by serial killers:"I'm interested in serial killers' mind:"Tyler the Creator said in an interview with Cool 'Eh Magazine,"So I rap about it at that moment ... Who knows, next week I could be rapping about oatmeal if
BY MATTHEW MARSAGLIA
mmsarsaglia@ekansan.com
that's what I'm into."
This is not so much an amendment argument, but a broader argument to consider other perspectives, even if we assuredly understand them as inhumane.
"The You Gotta Consider Where They're Coming From Argument." Part of what allows Odd Future to rap about what they do is their background, "Plenty of us are bastards. Most of us are."Tyler the Creator said in a recent interview with The New York Times.
The absence of Tyler the Creator's father and other struggles are recurring topics in the Odd Future repertoire, and they works as a sort of defense mechanism against deploring their grotesqueries. Tyler the Creator, however, appears conscious of this laxity and uses it to further push his provocation.
"The Anti-Establishment Appeal." As evident in their performance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon", Odd Future doesn't seem to consider their recent exposure as their big break, but as a coup on the same conservative, mainstream entertainment society they despise.
Though the posse intends to be huge, they're deathly afraid of selling out to a radio-friendly format. And what idealistic youth isn't appealed to that? Success and reach without sacrificing personal integrity (even if their integrity isn't integrative). it makes sense.
POLITICS
These three defenses are all justifiable, but the support is rooted in strict ambivalence and open-mindedness. I'm a fan of both, but when nonjudgmental appreciation is taken to the point of accepting music promoting gang rape, you're denying yourself an opinion for the sake of not having an opinion.
I think Tyler the Creator and the rest of Odd Future understand this population of vacillating, liberally educated youths and are currently testing the limits of their well-intentioned efforts. And it's undeniably genius. I'm somewhat guilty. They swag their shit out.

GOP moderates versus bleeding-heart liberals
What do you call a pro-life,progun, tax-cutting, anti-health reform senator with a 77 percent lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union?
Enter Richard Lugar, a courtly Republican from Indiana fending off an expected Tea Party primary challenge from State Treasurer Richard Mourdock in 2012.
A liberal, of course.
Lugar's voting record indicates sterling conservative credentials. His votes earned him whipping scores of zeroes from the AFL-CIO, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the Human Rights Campaign. But for the Neandertals who dominate the Tea Party-era GOP, Lugar embodies that despicable species - RINOs. Republicans in Name Only.
While Lugar has proven a reliable vote for his party on curtailing abortion rights, cutting taxes for the affluent and resisting robust environmental regulation, his record is insufficiently pure for the lunatics who are now in charge of the asylum.
Among the senator's most unforgivable transgressions include his votes for President Barack Obama's two Supreme Court nominees, support for the much-reviled TARP bailout of 2008 (a policy supported even by Sarah Palin at the time of its passage) and his unapologetic advocacy for the recent New START nuclear treaty with Russia. Although the treaty conformed closely to decades of bipartisan arms control policy, acting like a bellicose paranoid draws more Tea Party praise than statesmanship, given that anything Obama touches is, by definition, sinister and un-American.
Most political prognosticators do not expect Lugar to return to the Senate in January 2013 when the next crop of senators assume their seats. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, a potential presidential candidate, sounded Lugar's death knell recently when he refused to lend his support to his state's senior senator.
Which brings us to a larger point about the GOP's reaction swing

ahead of the 2012 elections. Daniels, mind you, is currently being feted by level-headed, rational conservatives like George Will and David Brooks as the party's hope for salvation. Conveniently forgetting those two years he spent overseeing the budget during George W. Bush's presidency, Very Serious People herald Daniels's seriousness and wonkery on all things fiscal. When he called for a "truce" on hot-button social issues like abortion and gay marriage, Daniels cemented his image as the technocrat who would bring a laser-intense focus on economic matters to the Oval Office.
That call for a cease-fire didn't sit well with Rick Santorum, a former Republican senator from Pennsylvania. When he's not arguing that gay marriage leads inevitably to bestiality or defending the Crusades of the 11th and 12th centuries, Santorum presents himself as the culture warrior to lead the GOP ticket to victory next year. An economic downturn provides no excuse for ignoring the ghastly evils of sex education, kissing boys and science.
Daniels and Santorum both oppose reproductive, gay, and other civil rights. Daniels chooses not to emphasize those issues. Santorum seems to think he deserves the nod not because he, like Daniels, opposes abortion and gay marriage, but because he despises those concepts more vehemently.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the difference between what passes for a GOP "moderate" and a hard- right true believer.

University proposes changes to Code of Student Rights
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com
A student subcommittee is conducting a formal review of the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities and will present suggested revisions to the student rights committee Wednesday night.
Student Success is responsible for the majority of items under review, though students were encouraged to submit suggestions.
The University of Kansas is proposing revisions to five articles in the student code that officials say need changing.
need changing.
Some of the revisions would give University officials the authority to become involved in situations involving a violation of the law on and off campus. University officials also seek to re-write the language in
articles addressing hazing and student organization accountability.
A subcommittee — made up of about 15 students — met last week and discussed the University's suggestions. Jane Tuttle, the assistant vice provost for Student Success, and Nick Kehrwald,the student conduct officer, represented Student Success and offered suggestions for the revisions.
Committee member Felix Zacharias, a first-year graduate student from Wichita, said the hastiness of these discussions is worrisome because last year's review spanned a semester and resulted in no changes.
"I'm not going to say it is irresponsible but it is our job to be worried because these changes are going to affect 30,000 students," Zacharias said. "KU is a very liberal campus
and these changes would alter that not in a negative or positive way."
A formal review of the code occurs every two years but students have the authority to suggest revisions every year.
Two of the items up for revision involve situations where a student breaks the law on or off campus.
The current article states that "no inquiry is permitted into the activities of students away from the campus where their behavior is subject to regulation and control by public authorities."
authorities.
The revisions would enable the University to institute disciplinary proceedings against a student for off campus conduct if it poses a "significant threat to the safety or security of the University community."
Examples of that include a student distributing drugs or possessing a
significant amount of firearms.
significant. Tuttle and Kehrwald say these changes cover gender-based equality under Title 9 involving incidents of sexual misconduct or harassment.
"We need that flexibility for health and safety concerns," Tuttle said. "We're asking for the bare minimum here and nothing that the average student could say, 'Oh, I could be in trouble now."

The University would also like to see some re-wording of the article dealing with on-campus student violations of the law to allow the

University to pursue proceedings in those situations.
Another threshold within the code the University wants lowered is the ability to hold student organizations accountable.
As it stands, the legal system takes the lead and the University must display a clear and distinct interest which Tuttle says is a
high standard.
Under the current language, "organizations, their officers, and/or individual members" may only be held responsible if having prior knowledge, participation in, or encouragement of conduct prohibited under subsequent rules Student Success wishes to strike this line regarding prior knowledge.
The final article that the University said needed revisions regarded hazing.
Tuttle said she was starting to realize that students were unaware of what exactly constituted as hazing.
The sub-committee plans to meet a couple more times to finalize the revisions and the language prior to going before the Student Rights Committee.

Michael Moore urges protesters to keep fighting
MADISON, Wis. — Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore urged Wisconsin residents Saturday to fight Republican-backed efforts to strip most public workers of their collective bargaining rights, telling thousands of protesters that "Madison is only the beginning."
The crowd roared in approval as Moore implored demonstrators to keep up their struggle against Republican Gov. Scott Walker's legislation, comparing their fight to Egypt's revolt. He also thanked the 14 state Democratic senators who fled Wisconsin to block a vote on the bill, saying they'll go down in history books.
"We're going to do this together. Don't give up. Please don't give up," Moore told the protesters, who have held steady at the Capitol for nearly three weeks. Police have said a crowd of about 70,000 showed up on Feb. 19, and an even larger crowd rallied Feb. 26.
even large crowds. Moore said the wealthy have overreached, first taking the working class' money and then taking their souls by shutting them up at the bargaining table. The crowd yelled "thank you" before Moore began to speak, and he responded: "All of America thanks you, Wisconsin."

Jayhawks drop two in nonconference play

Heading into their out-of-conference games in Boulder, Colo., Kansas lacrosse coach Dennis Shults hoped his team would be able to steal one victory from the heavily-favored squads from Northern Colorado and the University of Colorado.
Unfortunately for Kansas, they weren't able to reach Shults' goal.
Kansas lost to Northern Colorado by a score of 11-6, and they.would then go on to be dismantled by No.4 Colorado 17-3

one of the better teams in the nation.
Shults made the point that no one person stood out for the Jayhawks, and they worked very well as a team, a component that he advocates to his players.

overwhelmed.
DENNIS SHULTS Coach
The bright spot for Kansas is that the Colorado teams were likely the toughest squads they will play all season.
Neither the Jayhawks offense nor defense made a difference this weekend as Kansas was outscored by a total of 28-9.
The layhawks will restart their conference play and play their first home games of the season
A victory against Arkansas would help Kansas separate themselves from the rest of the pack in their conference, and regain the momentum that the Jayhawks had garnered.

"I can't wait," Cauble said. "It'll be nice to play on our own turf in front of our own fans. Hopefully we put on a good show."
For Cauble and the rest of the Jayhawks, the thought of playing at home, will help them forget the ugliness of the past weekend.

"As young as we are right now at any given day we need someone to step up," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "I am very fortunate that the girls at the bottom of the lineup are coming for us."
BY SARAH KRUGER skruger@kansan.com
The Jayhawk women's tennis team beat Houston and Saint Louis this weekend at the Jayhawk Tennis Center. Freshmen Amy Barnthouse and Dylan Windom clinched the matches two nights in a row through singles play.
In her first match since September, the No. 6 player Barnthouse won 6-2 in two consecutive singles matches.
ATLANTA — Amare Stoudemire scored 26 points, Landry Fields added 15 and the New York Knicks easily beat the Atlanta Hawks 92-79 on Sunday night.
"It felt good, it was a lot of fun," Barnthouse said. "I knew my match was the deciding match, so with everyone standing around me it really motivated me to get the win."
Saturday, the team played Houston and came out on top. In doubles, the Jayhawks beat the Cougars with sloppy play overall to win the point, and won in singles to win overall, four matches to three.
"The double point is really important because, like you saw tonight, if we wouldn't have won it, the match would have been a completely different story," Windom said.
Both the No. 1 and No. 2 players won in singles play as well, junior Ekaterina (Kate) Morozova in two sets and freshman Paulina Los in three sets.
"Both the win and the loss are good experiences and preparation," Barnthouse said. "I can learn things from both matches. I know what I have to work on so that will help me this week in practice this week before my match on Wednesday."
On Sunday, Kansas faced Saint Louis, also at home. The first doubles team won 8-3, and the second lost 2-8. The point depended on the final doubles team, sophomore Victoria Khanevskaya and Los, who came back from 4-5 to win 8-5. Winning two out of three doubles matches gave Kansas the first point leading into singles play.
The players are ranked one through six, not depending on record but on the possession of one key move that will set them apart in defeating an opponent.
Barnthouse, the winner of the Houston match, ended up getting beat in the match against Saint Louis' Caitlin McKenna.
Morozova looked strong, winning her first singles match against Saint Louis' Hailee Elmore. The mood on the court was tense and competitive, the players back and forth winning matches and disputing calls made on the court. Up 5-2. Elmore continued her winning streak to win the set 6-2 and overall 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.
The Jayhawks ended up defeating the Billikens 4-3.
Carmelo Anthony, who was poked in the eye in the first quarter and later hit in the head in the first half, finished with 14 points, his lowest total since New York acquired him in a Feb. 22 trade.
Windom was the last player on the court battling through a 46 set match to win the match overall for Kansas.
Anthony didn't appear hurt by the hits in the head, though he played part of the second quarter and during the second half without his trademark NBA headband.
"It meant a lot to the team," she said. "I didn't know mine was the deciding match, but I'm excited because I was tired and I pulled out the win for my team."
"Every match you have to go in and be thinking there are opportunities there," Hall-Holt said, "I think we need to enjoy this win for now, but here in the next few hours refocus for UMKC. They are a good solid team."
— Edited by Corey Thibodeaux
The team has another match coming up this Wednesday against UMKC and plans on bringing the energy from the last two matches to stay successful.

over the left field wall to give Kansas the 6-5 lead.
In the bottom of the seventh Troy's Nikki Hollett hit a solo home run to tie the score and send the contest into extra innings. In the eighth inning, freshman Ashley Newman started on second base as junior Marissa Ingle advanced Newman to third with a sacrifice bunt. Freshman Kendra Callum stepped up and hit a single up the middle to bring Newman home and end the contest, 7-6.
The productivity from the end of the Troy game continued in the Sunday contest against San Diego. Junior Marissa Ingle hit her second grand slam of the season in the bottom of the second inning. The hit drove in the loaded bases to make the score 4-0.
In the third, inning Montgomery hit a home run to bring in two hits. This was her sixth home run this season. Junior Liz Kocon drove in freshman Ashley Newman with a single to the right side.
Freshman pitcher Kristin Martínez gave strong performances in the Troy and San Diego match-ups. She allowed only seven hits over the duration of the two contests. She struck out three batters against Troy and improved her ERA to 1.80, a team best. She is now 9-1 from the circle.
The team will travel to Jacksonville, Fla., to play in the North Florida Tournament March 11-13. They hope to continue to focus on the fundamentals and controlling what they know how to control. They also will be working to keep up the intensity after the up and down intensity levels in the Eller Media Stadium Classic.
"I think we started off kind of rocky but the good thing about it is that we finished strong." Hile said. "We ended the weekend with a great win to carry over into next weekend."

With 27 seconds left, Kansas had the chance to win the game with a three-pointer but the ball sailed out of bounds right to the bench. Kansas only had 13 turnovers but those came at crucial times never allowing the Jayhawks to build up a run.
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
"We can't turn over the ball that much, especially at home," senior forward Krysten Boogaard said.
Kansas' missed layups and free throws down the stretch allowed Kansas State to seal the game. Kansas lost the game 56-51 and fell to 19-11 overall and 6-10 in conference play.
"Those are just free points that we just didn't convert," Boogaard said.
Coach born not impressed with the effort level of the Jayhawks late in the game on defense.

The Jayhawks tallied 13 turnovers in the aggressive battle. Fouls were called tight and the crowd reacted disapprovingly.
Turnovers cost Jayhawks a victory. 51-56
"There are nights where you feel like you beat yourself," Henrickson
The margin was only one or two possessions at any time in the game. The game was never comfortable, but that only seems fitting for the second installment of the Sunflower Showdown.
"It is frustrating and it is tough, but we know to expect that every game," sophomore forward Carolyn Davis said.
Kansas and K-State both entered the game looking for a final victory in the regular season to put them over the 20 win mark.

In an odd turn of senior day events, Boogaard did not start and only saw three minutes of gametime where she contributed one rebound. The four-year veteran — who has contributed over 1,000 points in her career in 128 games — rode the bench with warm-ups on for the majority of the game.

Davis led the Jayhawks in scoring, but struggled from the field. She scored 15 points off 5-11 shooting.From the free throw line Davis had

"I look at my free-throw shooting and that has been hurting me," Davis said. "I have to convert from there because I go there a lot."

Manning and Robinson share pain
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
Columbia, Mo. — Thomas Robinson knows a little bit about playing through adversity. On the heels of the death of Ed Manning, father of assistant coach Danny Manning, Robinson provided a huge spark off the bench in Kansas' 70-66 victory against Missouri.
"Danny had a lot to do with this"
Robinson said of his 15 point, 13
rebound performance. "He's going
through something with the death
of his father. I especially know how
he feels with that."
He said that the team talked with coach Manning and it told him that it was here for him. Robinson thought he handled his mother's death well, but he said Manning is handling it great.
"He's doing way better than I did," Robinson said.
He said that this game was also big, not only because of what Manning was going through, but because of the potential to be the No.1 seed in the Big I2 and NCAA tournaments. He also said that coming to Columbia and breaking Missouri's 17-game winning streak at home.
Junior forward Marcus Morris said Robinson played like a man Saturday and said his body of work, which came in 17 minutes, is "unheard of" Morris said that if the Jayhawks have that type of output from Robinson, they will be difficult to defeat.
Coach Bill Self said Robinson was "fired up" for today's game. At one point, sophomore guard Elijah Johnson had to step in.
"He had to calm me down," Robinson said. "It felt like everybody was against us. We were away on the road, calls were kind of going our way, but that's good officiating. At the same time, I got a little hyped, but that's what our point guard is for, to calm me down."
Self said that Robinson wasn't playing well last week as he was before and thought that Robinson might be thinking too much instead of just playing.
"Today he did what he does; that's be a factor inside and go after every ball," Self said. "He defended well and rebounded great and because he just played with a motor, he got some easy basket."
that Self stressed doing the little things to gain his confidence back and thatthe game is a mindset, but the physical game comes naturally.
Robinson even acknowledged that he had been struggling in the last couple of games, practice and just overall before Saturday. He said
He said he models his game after New York Knicks center Amare Stoudemire, who is a good rebounder with 8.4 rebounds per game this season. Robinson said of himself that he ran the floor well, rebounded, sealed and got easy shots.
"Yeah, it's much easier," Robinson said. "I don't have that much to do. If somebody just told you that you can make a living off rebounding and getting easy buckets, why not do it?"

Game to Remember
Thomas Robinson
This is more of a "half to remember" award. Robinson had a double-double in the second half alone, finishing with 15 points and 13 rebounds, seven of which were offensive. Robinson's still not moving as well as he did before his surgery — Self said as much at his Thursday media availability — and this is the first time he's hit double-figures in rebounds or points since missing time for the injury. Good time for him to come out of it, if you're a Jayhawk fan.
PETER E. HOWE
Robinson
Game to Forget
Josh Selby
Selby is working his way towards being the odd man out in the guard rotation. He finished with no points, one rebound, one assist and three turnovers and didn't show any sign of the confidence or swagger that made him so solid early in his career. If he doesn't pick it up before the NCAA Tournament, he won't see a whole lot of action in it.

MORNING BREW
Until Saturday, I always held CBS' sports coverage in high regard. Their NCAA Tournament coverage is sensational, and it's refreshing to hear the voices of announcers who don't work for ESPN. But CBS messed up during the Kansas-Missouri game, plain and simple.
BY GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
When CBS switched away from the Kansas game during the under-four minute timeout, I was speechless. I didn't think any network had the audacity to pull such a disrespectful stunt like that. Why couldn't CBS have kept the Kansas-Missouri game as the primary game in Kansas and Missouri and switched all other markets to the Michigan game? It makes perfect sense and would have satisfied all parties.
ESPN does a much better job of handling situations like these. There have been plenty of Big Mondays on ESPN where the first game of the night, the Big East Conference game, runs late, so viewers are forced to miss the beginning of the Big 12 Conference game, the second leg of the doubleheader. When this happens, at least ESPN puts the score of the new game at the top of the screen so viewers are informed. I'd much prefer to see the end of a good game than the beginning of a different game. But CBS didn't even put the Kansas score at the top of the screen, or have a split screen showing both games.
I understand that CBS probably had contractual obligations to switch to the beginning of the Michigan State-Michigan game, but quite frankly, I don't care. This is about customer service, and CBS dropped the ball. I wanted to watch the end of a game involving my school, which happens to be No. 2 in the nation, playing its rival, whom I can't stand, for the outright conference title. But I guess the beginning of a game between Michigan State (17-12) and Michigan (18-12) was more important, despite the fact that we live more than 750 miles from Ann Arbor, Mich., where the game was being played.
THE MORNING BREW
Would it have caused such an uproar to keep the Kansas game on through completion? I can't really believe that most of the country favored the switch. Granted, the Kansas game was sloppy and far from beautiful, but it was still no worse than a typical Big
Ten Conference game. Additionally, Kansas and Missouri are both going to the NCAA tournament, while there is a strong possibility that neither Michigan nor Michigan State will be selected.
While CBS certainly has a fine sports package, and I'm looking forward to watching the NCAA Tournament on its family of stations, I cannot help but feel uneasy about CBS' dedication to its viewers after what I witnessed on Saturday. Instead of celebrating the final minutes of Kansas clinching another outright title and handing our rival its first home loss of the year, I sat steaming on my couch while I was subjected to a game between two teams that are the definition of mediocrity.

Kansas has not been able to get into any kind of hitting rhythm all season, and this weekend was no different. Thursday and Friday, against UC Riverside and Cal-State Bakersfield, the Jayhawks were unable to provide any run support.
Coach Ritch Price attributes part of the hitting problems to the youth of the Jayhawks lineup. He said even a large portion of the juniors this year weren't huge contributors to last year's team.
A reason why the Jayhawks haven't been able to put many runs on the board is because of the high number of runners they've left stranded on the base paths.
"We have so many inexperienced guys hitting in the impact parts of our order," Price said when asked why the bats had been so inconsistent.
The Jayhawks' hitting inconsistencies continued to plague their weekend, as they dropped three out of four games in the Coca-Cola Classic.

Even in their better batting performances on Saturday and Sunday, the Jayhawks could not break their habit of stranding runners on the base paths. Saturday, in a 3-4 loss to No.7 Arizona State, the Jayhawks left six runners on base, and in Sunday's 4-1 victory over Air Force, the batters also stranded six Jayhawks on base.
Price once again pointed to their youth to explain for their inability to score runs once they had runners on base. Price said he believed that more game experience would be able to help guy's make some needed adjustments.

left seven potential runs on base.
"The last two games they put good bats on the ball, squared them up, and put the球 in play a lot more," senior pitcher Wally Marciel
"The most obvious [adjustment] is that you get more breaking balls with runners in scoring position, and that's something we're continuing to struggle with," Price said.
In the weekend's biggest game for the Jayhawks, they put up seven hits for three runs off Arizona State's starting pitcher Kramer Champlin. Sophomore center Alex DeLeon contributed in the fourth inning, by hitting a homerun that knocked in three to give the Jayhawks a brief lead over the Sun Devils. The lead only lasted an inning, but it was the first encouraging sign in a weekend that had previously been disappointing.
The Jayhawks followed their improved performance with another outing that was even better in their win over Air Force. The Jayhawks helped out Marcel and freshman pitcher Colton Murray's great outing on the mounds with eight hits at the plate for four runs.
The Jayhawks finished the weekend with a 5-6 record, which is certainly not where they were hoping they'd be, but Price came away with a positive feeling about the direction in which the team is headed.
"We made progress," Price said. "Were still not where we want to be, but we made progress."

CREAM OF THE CROP
Jayhawks take top honors
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
A day after Kansas won the Big 12 regular season conference title outright on Saturday with a 70-64 victory against Missouri, the Jayhawks brought some more hardware of the individual variety to Lawrence.
On Sunday, junior forward Marcus Morris and coach Bill Self were recognized as being the best at their respective positions. Morris was named Big 12 Player of the Year along with being named to the All-Big 12 First Team, while Self was named Big 12 Coach of the Year. They weren't the only two to receive recognition. Morris' twin Markeiff was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team. Seniors Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar received All-Big 12 Honorable Mentions and Morningstar was selected to the Big 12 All-Defensive Team.

"I am very proud any time our players get named to a postseason award," Self said in a news release. "I am especially proud of Marcus for being consistent this year and being the premier performer in our league. It certainly is a compliment to him but also to his teammates to allow him to do what he does. Markieff, Brady and Tyrel also very deserve their recognition as well."
Morris is the first Jayhawk to win Big 12 Player of the Year since the 2004-2005 season. He joins four other Jayhawks who were named Big 12 Player of the Year: Raef LaFrentz (1996, 1997), Drew Gooden (2002), Nick Collison
(2003) , Simien (2005)
Marcus said in a news release that he was happy to receive the award, but he gives all the credit to his teammates.
"Without them there is no way I would have been selected." Marcus said. "We've had a great season so far but we still have a lot of work to do heading into the Big 12 tournament and the NCAAs."
During the season, Marcus averaged 17.3 points per game (fifth in the Big 12) and seven rebounds per game (11th in the Big 12). His 59.7 shooting percentage is 10th in the nation and second in the Big 12 behind Markieff's 59.8 percent. Markieff led the Big 12 with 8.3 rebounds per game and scored 13.5 points per game.
per game.
In conference play, Marcus scored 18.8 points per game and grabbed 7.6 assists. His shooting percentage was also 60.6 percent. Marcus' All-Big 12 First Team selection is the 20th time a Jayhawk has earned the distinction. Kansas has also had a First Team selection in 13 of the 15 seasons the Big 12 has existed.
For Self, this is his third time being named Coach of the Year. He also earned the honor in 2005 and 2009.
"There are a lot of coaches that have done a great job in our league this season," Self said. "The primary reason for any postseason award is because you have good players who have performed at a high level."

The Jayhawks faced tough competition in Las Vegas for the Eller Media Stadium Classic and ended the weekend 3-2 and are now 17-3 on the season. Friday the team split the day recording a 10-7 loss to Bradley and a 3-1 victory against San Jose State. Saturday was split again with a 10-1 loss to UNLV and a 7-6 win against Troy. Sunday the Jayhawks shut out San Diego, 7-0.
"We just didn't come out as the same team that we have been playing all year. We came out really dry, just not focused, not locked into what we were doing," sophomore Maggie Hull said.
Saturday was the team's toughest day. It was not the same team that had started 13-0.
"We did the same things we did the other weekends but Saturday we just were not as intense as the other teams," coach Megan Smith said. "We didn't pick up that intensity level until the sixth inning against Troy. That was the key for us this weekend, we just didn't
have any intensity."
The lack of intensity was apparent against UNLV. The Runnin' Rebels put up two runs on four hits in the bottom of the first inning and then pulled away with six more runs in the third. They took advantage of three walks and two hit by pitches.
Kansas' sole run was a single by sophomore Mariah Montgomery to plate senior Brittany Hile. During the bottom of the fourth she made a strong defensive play catching a runner stealing. The Jayhawks also benefited from a force out at third. However, it was not enough to end the inning. The Rebels responded to the two outs by loading the bases and scoring two more runs to end the contest 10-1 in five innings.
The evening game against Troy showed Kansas' ability to fight back. The team had one hit in the first five innings but then scored two runs on three hits in the top of the sixth. After the first six innings, lay trailed 5-2 then Hile hit a grand slam, her second career

COMMENTARY
Anderson has Mizzou as a likable program
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
CARLTON HAWKINS
The Border Showdown didn't use to be like this. On Jan. 28, 2002,
Drew Gooden poured in 26 points,
Kirk Hinrich had 23, and the No. 2
Jayhawks spanked the No. 2 Tigers
103-75 at Allen Fieldhouse.
On Saturday, the same schools with the same rankings from January 2002 met again. But there were no spankings to be seen. Just an unsavory 70-66 Kansas victory at Mizzou Arena.
Kansas still usually walks away as winners of the war, but it's no longer done with unquestionable dominance.
Under coach Mike Anderson, the culture of Missouri basketball has changed. The Tigers take pride in playing what they call "the fastest 40 minutes in basketball." They chew on turnovers like you chew on your fingernails while watching them run.
But molasses and basketball are two different kinds of sweet. I'm not saying you have to like Missouri. You don't have to respect them, either. Just be aware: this program sits far away from the slums of the conference. As difficult a concept to grasp as it may be, it's not all about wins and losses. Basketball isn't black and white. Missouri is climbing an uphill path. And no matter how gradual it may be, it's a positive direction, stemming from Anderson's leadership.
"Never heard of nice things from Missouri coming west," she said.
"We played with super energy tonight," said junior forward Laurence Bowers, Missouri who scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds off the bench.
Now Jayhawk fans, hear me out. I commit no treason, nor scribble sinful thoughts. I'm with the old woman from The Outlaw Josey Wales, too. I'll do without molasses from Missouri.
In the Anderson era, Missouri is only 1-10 against Kansas. But going into this season, he was the winningest coach in school history, recording an 88-46 record in his first four seasons at the helm in Columbia, Mo. He led the Tigers to a Big 12 Conference postseason championship and an Elite Eight appearance in 2009 and sent three players from that team, guard J.T. Tiller and forwards DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons, to the NBA.
Working against the Tigers' speed, the lajwahks surrendered 24 turnovers and committed 26 personal fouls. Missouri's full-court press disoriented a normally clean and mechanical Kansas offense. At one point, junior guard Tyshawn Taylor passed left, then looked, and the ball soared out of bounds and at Anderson's bench. It was a case of Taylor thinking too much instead of just playing. It was the kind of mental lapse that makes Anderson's Tigers who they are — a team with disruptive identity.
He didn't have much of a game on Saturday, but freshman Phil Pressey will be a cornerstone at the point guard position. Junior guard Marcus Denmon, who averages 16.8 points per game, might be the most improved player in the Big 12. We're still waiting to hear from Ben McLemore, St. Louis, Mo. prospect, who is No. 49 on the ESPNU 100 rankings and is deciding between Missouri and Kansas.
Not too long ago, that one wouldn't be much of a debate.

- cut barriers processes plasma to take out specific proteins and antibodies needed to fight disease.
"Well, it's extremely important for people with rare diseases such as hemophilia, immune deficiencies, inherited respiratory disease and a number of other serious rare diseases," said Christopher Florentz, manager of cooperate communications. "We take the plasma collected by our CSL plasma collection centers and we put it through a process called fractionation where basically we separated out the proteins in the plasma and we use those proteins to make biotherapies that are used to treat various diseases."
To create plasma products the company needs raw plasma. This is where the donation centers and students like Holbrook Walker come in.
"I told everyone I was doing it for a good cause but really I wanted money for back to school clothes," Walker said. "My paycheck I got all went to my rent and I needed some extra money to do that."
Holbrook did not want to have to get a job and balance schoolwork.
Donor compensation differs by weight class. The more a donor weighs the more plasma the center can take and the more money the donor can make.
o casically got paid to sit there and study, he said.
During the semester, Holbrook sometimes made biweekly trips to the CSL plasma donation center,
earning about $400 from more than 20 trips.
Horenz said that on average, a CSL plasma donation center pays $2 million per year to donors and that in total, donors made 18.5 million plasma donations in the U.S. in 2008.
"If you weigh under 150 it's not even worth it," Holbrook said. "It's like making minimum wage."
With his ankle weights, Holbrook tipped the scales at just over 150 pounds.
"We refer to it as donating because we compensate for their time as opposed to their plasma," Florentz said.
Kansan: Is donating plasma a good idea or not from the donor's perspective?
Denning: From the donor perspective it could cut either way. For people who are young and healthy it doesn't impact their overall health in the long-term. However in the short term it can impact even healthy young people. When you donate plasma they are taking off specialized proteins called antibodies. They are our first line of defense against infection. And personally in the height of flu season I would not recommend anyone donate plasma because we all need to keep our antibodies at a nice healthy level.
Denning: It's not uncommon to get a little hematoma here or there. It's uncomfortable and does look very ugly and scary but those generally go away.
UDK: Have you seen students come in with problems or injuries cause by plasma donation?
UDK: Some people bruise at the location where the needle is used for plasma donation. Is this serious?
Denning: I do on occasion see people who come in who are sick who have influenza or respiratory infections who have donated plasma. And I'm like, quit doing that until flu seasons over!
Edited by Tali David
The amount of money a donor receives for a plasma donation varies with weight, visit number and the amount of donations the donor has made in a week. This graph shows what donors will make during each visit to the CSL Plasma Donation Center assuming they give plasma twice a week.

Saturday was the team's toughest day. It was not the same team that had started 13-0.
"We did the same things we did the other weekends but Saturday we just were not as intense as the other teams," coach Megan Smith said. "We didn't pick up that intensity level until the sixth inning against Troy. That was the key for us this weekend, we just didn't
have any intensity."
Kansas' sole run was a single by sophomore Mariah Montgomery to plate senior Brittany Hile. During the bottom of the fourth she made a strong defensive play catching a runner stealing. The Jayhawks also benefited from a force out at third. However, it was not enough to end the inning. The Rebels responded to the two outs by loading the bases and scoring two more runs to end the contest 10-1 in five innings.
The lack of intensity was apparent against UNLV. The Runnin' Rebels put up two runs on four hits in the bottom of the first inning and then pulled away with six more runs in the third. They took advantage of three walks and two hit by pitches.
The evening game against Troy showed Kansas' ability to fight back. The team had one hit in the first five innings but then scored two runs on three hits in the top of the sixth. After the first six innings, they trailed 5-2 then Hile hit a grand slam, her second career

one point, junior guard Tyshawn Taylor passed left, then looked, and the ball soared out of bounds and at Anderson's bench. It was a case of Taylor thinking too much instead of just playing. It was the kind of mental lapse that makes Anderson's Tigers who they are — a team with a disruptive identity.
In the Anderson era, Missouri is only 1-10 against Kansas. But going into this season, he was the winningest coach in school history, recording an 88-46 record in his first four seasons at the helm in Columbia, Mo. He led the Tigers to a Big 12 Conference postseason championship and an Elite Eight appearance in 2009 and sent three players from that team, guard J.T. Tiller and forwards DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons, to the NBA.
Missouri coming in. But molasses and basketball are two different kinds of sweet. I'm not saying you have to like Missouri. You don't have to respect them, either. Just be aware: this program sits far away from the slums of the conference. As difficult a concept to grasp as it may be, it's not all about wins and losses. Basketball isn't black and white. Missouri is climbing an uphill path. And no matter how gradual it may be, it's a positive direction, stemming from Anderson's leadership.
Now Jayhawk fans, hear me out. I commit no treason, nor scribble sinful thoughts. I'm with the old woman from The Outlaw Josey Wales, too. I'll do without molasses from Missouri.
"Never heard of nice things from Missouri coming west," she said.
He didn't have much of a game on Saturday, but freshman Phil Pressey will be a cornerstone at the point guard position. Junior guard Marcus Denmon, who averages 16.8 points per game, might be the most improved player in the Big 12. We're still waiting to hear from Ben McLemore, St. Louis, Mo.; prospect, who is No. 49 on the ESPNU 100 rankings and is deciding between Missouri and Kansas.

EDITOR'S NOTE
BY ASHLEY MONTGOMERY
amontgomery@kansan.com
As a sophomore living in my first apartment I was terrified that someone would break in and murder me and my roommate. I saw stalkers around every corner — there's a possibility that I had been watching too many episodes of Criminal Minds.
So when we heard noises on the balcony one night, a million terrible scenarios ran
through my mind. I turned down the TV and my roommate got up to look outside.
But before she had the chance, someone started banging on our door and yelling.
started banging on our door and yelling
I froze. I had considered everything that
could go wrong, but I had never really
thought about how I would deal with a dangerous situation if it arose.
It turned out that the would-be intruders were a couple of our friends who thought climbing up our balcony would be a funny joke.

Jayhawks limp into conference tournament
The Kansas women's basketball team hopes to bounce back from its two recent losses while the focus shifts from the starting lineup to the bench.

"Well, it's extremely important for people with rare diseases such as hemophilia, immune deficiencies, inherited respiratory disease and a number of other serious rare diseases," said Christopher Florentz, manager of cooperate communications. "We take the plasma collected by our CSL plasma collection centers and we put it through a process called fractionation where basically we separated out the proteins in the plasma and we use those proteins to make biotherapies that are used to treat various diseases."
To create plasma products the company needs raw plasma. This is where the donation centers and students like Holbrook Walker come in.
"I told everyone I was doing it for a good cause but really I wanted money for back to school clothes," Walker said. "My paycheck I got all went to my rent and I needed some extra money to do that."
Cot-binding processes plasma to take out specific proteins and antibodies needed to fight disease.
Holbrook did not want to have to get a job and balance schoolwork.
Donor compensation differs by weight class. The more a donor weighs the more plasma the center can take and the more money the donor can make.
"I basically got paid to sit there and study," he said. During the semester, Holbrook sometimes made biweekly trips to the CSL plasma donation center, earning about $400 from more than 20 trips.
"If you weigh under 150 it's not even worth it," Holbrook said. "It's like making minimum wage."
With his ankle weights, Holbrook tipped the scales at just over 150 pounds.
Florentz said that on average, a CSL plasma donation center pays $2 million per year to donors and in total, donors made 18.5 million plasma donations in the U.S. in 2008.
"We refer to it as donating because we compensate for their time as opposed to their plasma," Florentz said.
Kansan: Is donating plasma a good idea or not from the donor's perspective?
Denning: From the donor perspective it could cut either way. For people who are young and healthy it doesn't impact their overall health in the long-term. However in the short term it can impact even healthy young people. When you donate plasma they are taking off specialized proteins called antibodies. They are our first line of defense against infection. And personally in the height of flu season I would not recommend anyone donate plasma because we all need to keep our antibodies at a nice healthy level.
UDK: Have you seen students come in with problems or injuries cause by plasma donation?
Denning: I do on occasion see people who come in who are sick who have influenza or respiratory infections who have donated plasma. And I'm like, quit doing that until flu seasons over!
Denning: It's not uncommon to get a little hematoma here or there. It's uncomfortable and does look very ugly and scary but those generally go away.
UDK: Some people bruise at the location where the needle is used for plasma donation. Is this serious?
Edited by Tali David
The amount of money a donor receives for a plasma donation varies with weight, visit number and the amount of donations the donor has made in a week. This graph shows what donors will make during each visit to the CSL Plasma Donation Center assuming they give plasma twice a week.

Scholarship Halls
The Scholarship Halls include 12 buildings, six for males and six for females, based on the principle of cooperative living. Students cook and clean for their halls in exchange for a reduced housing rate.
Students do not need a scholarship to live in the halls, but the selection process is competitive based on GPA and test scores. To apply, students must have two references and complete two essays.
"It's a greater sense of community dedication to doing well in school, community service and social activities," said Hannah Jayne, a desk assistant at Crawford.

Javhawker Towers
The Jayhawker Towers consist of four apartment complexes located north of Allen Fieldhouse. The Towers are for students with at least 30 credit hours who are interested in living in an on-campus apartment equipped with a small kitchen, cable and carpet, and furniture rental is optional. All rooms are two-bedroom for either two or four students.
"A lot of students like that it combines the style of an apartment with living on campus," said Tiffany Hanchett, a desk assistant at the Jayhawker Towers. "But a downside is that you still have an RA."

The Jayhawks faced tough competition in Las Vegas for the Eller Media Stadium Classic and ended the weekend 3-2 and are now 17-3 on the season. Friday the team split the day recording a 10-7 loss to Bradley and a 3-1 victory against San Jose State. Saturday was split again with a 10-1 loss to UNLV and a 7-6 win against Troy.

The Jayhawks faced tough competition in Las Vegas for the Eller Media Stadium Classic and ended the weekend 3-2 and are now 17-3 on the season. Friday the team split the day recording a 10-7 loss to Bradley and a 3-1 victory against San Jose State. Saturday was split again with a 10-1 loss to UNLV and a 7-6 win against Troy. Sunday the Jayhawks shut out San Diego, 7-0.
"We just didn't come out as the same team that we have been playing all year. We came out really dry, just not focused, not locked into what we were doing, sophomore Maggie Hull said.
Saturday was the team's toughest day. It was not the same team that had started 13-0.
"We did the same things we did the other weekends but Saturday we just were not as intense as the other teams," coach Megan Smith said. "We didn't pick up that intensity level until the sixth inning against Troy. That was the key for us this weekend, we just didn't
have any intensity."
Kansas' sole run was a single by sophomore Mariah Montgomery to plate senior Brittany Hile. During the bottom of the fourth she made a strong defensive play catching a runner stealing. The Jayhawks also benefited from a force out at third. However, it was not enough to end the inning. The Rebels responded to the two outs by loading the bases and scoring two more runs to end the contest 10-1 in five innings.
The lack of intensity was apparent against UNLV. The Runnin' Rebels put up two runs on four hits in the bottom of the first inning and then pulled away with six more runs in the third. They took advantage of three walks and two hit by pitches.
The evening game against Troy showed Kansas' ability to fight back. The team had one hit in the first five innings but then scored two runs on three hits in the top of the sixth. After the first six innings, they trailed 5-2 then Hile hit a grand slam, her second career

one point, junior guard Tyshawn Taylor passed left, then looked, and the ball soared out of bounds and at Anderson's bench. It was a case of Taylor thinking too much instead of just playing. It was the kind of mental lapse that makes Anderson's Tigers who they are — a team with a disruptive identity.
In the Anderson era, Missouri is only 1-10 against Kansas. But going into this season, he was the winningest coach in school history, recording an 88-46 record in his first four seasons at the helm in Columbia, Mo. He led the Tigers to a Big 12 Conference postseason championship and an Elite Eight appearance in 2009 and sent three players from that team, guard J.T. Tiller and forwards DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons, to the NBA.
Now Jayhawk fans, hear me out. I commit no treason, nor scribble sinful thoughts. I'm with the old woman from The Outlaw Josey Wales, too. I'll do without molasses from Missouri.
Missouri comes to basketball. But molasses and basketball are two different kinds of sweet. I'm not saying you have to like Missouri. You don't have to respect them, either. Just be aware: this program sits far away from the slums of the conference. As difficult a concept to grasp as it may be, it's not all about wins and losses. Basketball isn't black and white. Missouri is climbing an uphill path. And no matter how gradual it may be, it's a positive direction, stemming from Anderson's leadership.
"Never heard of nice things from Missouri coming west," she said.
He didn't have much of a game on Saturday, but freshman Phil Pressey will be a cornerstone at the point guard position. Junior guard Marcus Denmon, who averages 16.8 points per game, might be the most improved player in the Big 12. We're still waiting to hear from Ben McLemore, St. Louis, Mo. prospect, who is No. 49 on the ESPNU 100 rankings and is deciding between Missouri and Kansas.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN
Students develop projects for decorating on a budget
BY NADIA IMAFIDON editor@kansan.com
You've finally found a place that you can call home. The walls are white and cold and there's minimal furniture. The fact that you are a college student means that hiring an interior designer is unlikely. This is the perfect opportunity for you to embark on some do-it-yourself projects.
Bethany Bonebrake, a senior from St. Louis, said that last year she wanted additional furniture for her room, but that she and her roommates at Sellards Scholarship Hall refused to spend money. They decided to build a bookshelf that would convert into a coffee table. Their material of choice: cardboard.
"It was our room project," Bonebrake said. "It was really fun. We wanted it to feel homier."
They went around town collecting cardboard to create a bookshelf that was about 1 foot to 18 inches deep, she said. When they had guests over, they could turn it on its side, and it became an instant coffee table. They mostly kept their final project as a bookshelf after discovering the hassle of moving the
books to another location when it was turned on its side.
"It was our room project. It was really fun. We wanted it to feel homier."
Building the pink and green polka-dotted bookshelf/table was a way for them to bond. They started writing their room's favorite quotes on it. Not only did this bonding experience bring them closer together, it saved them money too. Prices of coffee tables range from $30 to more than $100.
They were not the only students at Sellards who became inspired to decorate their rooms. Bonebrake remembers other students making quote boards and covering their walls with posters.
"One room covered their ceiling with really attractive men," she said. "I should talk to someone about doing that this year."
DIY projects online, her projects did not come without a few minor setbacks. Somiari got a bit of red paint on the ceiling that she managed to fix with a few coats of white paint. It didn't discourage her from completing the task at hand.
BETHANY BONEBRAKE Senior from St. Louis
Sylvia Somiari, a senior from Lawrence, has always loved DIY projects. She gave her apartment at The Reserve a complete makeover by installing shelves and lamp shades, hanging room dividers, arranging small mirrors on the wall, putting up pictures and painting the walls red. Somiari has decorated every place that she has moved into. Rather than hiring someone, she likes that she can save money doing things herself.
"When installing the hanging lamp shades, I dropped a couple and broke them, and I got the wiring all messed up. It took me a while to correct that one," Somiari said. "When I installed the mirrors on the wall, originally I just used sticky tack, because they were relatively small mirrors, but as the days went on afterward, I noticed that every day, one mirror would fall off the wall and break. The guy at the hardware store laughed at me for that one."
A five minute instructional video on making curtains for your dorm room can be found on diynetwork.com. Making your own
While she said that it was easy to look up
curtains is a big money-saver. If you have a knack for sewing, go to the fabric store and pick out your favorite material. Curtains are as simple as making a few loops at the top of the fabric, and buying a curtain rod. Pre-made curtains are generally around $20, whereas fabric is as low as $1 or $2 per yard
on sale. Twin sheets can also easily be turned into curtains.
Before you start buying cans of paint and giving your room personality, talk to your landlord about decorating restrictions. Trista Hagamen, The Reserve's senior community assistant, said that residents were permitted to hang things as long as they touched up any holes or marks before moving out. Charges are applied for any damage that is not corrected. Tenants may also choose from a variety of paint colors in the rooms and paint the rooms themselves. Chris Buse, Legends Place assistant property manager, said that tenants could do anything but destroy or tear down the wall structures. Rooms are expected to be left in the same condition that they were leased in. Restrictions vary depending on the apartment complex.
For more decorating ideas, check out diy-network.com, or creep on your friends' decorated rooms. Remember that you don't have to get fancy with your projects. Simple projects can make your living space your own.

Can beating processes plasma to take out specific proteins and antibodies needed to fight disease.
"Well, it's extremely important for people with rare diseases such as hemophilia, immune deficiencies, inherited respiratory disease and a number of other serious rare diseases," said Christopher Florentz, manager of cooperate communications. "We take the plasma collected by our CSL plasma collection centers and we put it through a process called fractionation where basically we separated out the proteins in the plasma and we use those proteins to make biotherapies that are used to treat various diseases."
To create plasma products the company needs raw plasma. This is where the donation centers and students like Holbrook Walker come in.
"I told everyone I was doing it for a good cause but really I wanted money for back to school clothes," Walker said. "My paycheck I got all went to my rent and I needed some extra money to do that."
Holbrook did not want to have to get a job and balance schoolwork.
"I basically got paid to sit there and study," he said.
"I basically got paid to sit there and study," he said. During the semester, Holbrook sometimes made biweekly trips to the CSL plasma donation center, earning about $400 from more than 20 trips.
Donor compensation differs by weight class. The more a donor weighs the more plasma the center can take and the more money the donor can make.
"If you weigh under 150 it's not even worth it" Holbrook said. "It's like making minimum wage."
With his ankle weights, Holbrook tipped the scales at just over 150 pounds.
Florentz said that on average, a CSL plasma donation center pays $2 million per year to donors and that in total, donors made 18.5 million plasma donations in the U.S. in 2008.
"We refer to it as donating because we compensate for their time as opposed to their plasma," Florentz said.
Kansan: Is donating plasma a good idea or not from the donor's perspective?
Denning: From the donor perspective it could cut either way. For people who are young and healthy it doesn't impact their overall health in the long-term. However in the short term it can impact even healthy young people. When you donate plasma they are taking off specialized proteins called antibodies. They are our first line of defense against infection. And personally in the height of flu season I would not recommend anyone donate plasma because we all need to keep our antibodies at a nice healthy level.
UDK: Have you seen students come in with problems or injuries cause by plasma donation?
Denning: I do on occasion see people who come in who are sick who have influenza or respiratory infections who have donated plasma. And I'm like, quit doing that until flu seasons over!
UDK: Some people bruise at the location where the needle is used for plasma donation. Is this serious?
Denning: It's not uncommon to get a little hematoma here or there. It's uncomfortable and does look very ugly and scary but those generally go away.
Edited by Tali David
The amount of money a donor receives for a plasma donation varies with weight, visit number and the amount of donations the donor has made in a week. This graph shows what donors will make during each visit to the CSL Plasma Donation Center assuming they give plasma twice a week.

You might not be able to control Kansas' fickle weather, but you can at least be prepared for it. From temporary power outages to full-blown tornadoes, take the necessary steps to stand the storm.
Surviving severe conditions
MONDAY, MARCH 7, 2011
BY JACKLYN BAILLERGEON
editor@kansan.com
From sub-zero temperatures to heat waves that last weeks on end, Lawrence is not a stranger to bizarre weather. For those living in apartments, Kansas' unique climate presents some obstacles that must be addressed with preparation and precaution.
Winter weather and storms are some of the most common forms of severe weather conditions students must cope with. Problems associated with winter weather advisories include power outages and difficulty moving cars from parking lots.
parking lots. In case of a power outage, keep materials such as candles, flashlights with batteries and extra food and water. Taylor Tappan, a graduate student in geography from Brookings, S.D., also advises that students avoid trying to tough it out during extremely cold conditions.

If power sources still don't work after more than several days, call a landlord or power company.
company. Winter blizzards and snowstorms can also cause problems when snow and ice cover the ground. Danielle Mocia, a senior from Atchison, recalls instances in which snow has created an inconvenience.
"Last winter break, we got a ton of snow and it was at least a few weeks before they plowed it out. It was really aggravating." she said.
Snow and ice aren't only an inconvenience; they can also be dangerous if left untreated. Use salt, ice melt or sand to allow for traction, and shovel regularly to prevent snow buildup. If it's
impossible to clear a driveway, call a professional service or notify a landlord for help.
Another weather condition tenants should be aware of is tornadoes. Though the National Weather Service indicates that the peak tornado season is from late spring to early summer in Kansas, tornadoes can occur at any time during the year. In the event of a tornado warning, Tappan advises students to seek shelter.
"If you're living in an apartment, find the most interior room in your complex, preferably one without windows or glass. Get under a table, in a shower or bathhut, and protect yourself with pillows and blankets," he said.
phills and blankets, he.
Floods and fires, though rare, can also present problems for apartment tenants. In case of a flood, Tappan said tenants should stay on high ground or leave if the building is at risk. He also said that tenants should be prepared for fires, and should one occur, they should find the nearest exit, stay low to the ground and call 911.
Though Moccia said she didn't think of weather concerns often, she said it's important to keep calm.
to keep calm.
"You have no control over what the weather does, so try to handle it as best as you can and don't get frustrated," she said. "On the other hand, safety is always the first priority, so do whatever is necessary to stay safe and use your common sense."
And above all, Tappan said it's important to be prepared.
"If you're new to the area and unaware of proper safety procedures during times of strange weather, talk to your landlord and become familiar with your complex's safety procedures regarding extreme weather conditions," he said.

COMMENTARY
Be a bargain hunter when buying decor
BY MARIA JUAREZ editor@kansan.com
---
Howard Ting/KANSAN
No college student's abode is complete without some hand-me-down furniture. Craigslist and Goodwill are two places to find cheap furniture.
When we first moved in to my century-old, three-story, student ghetto-fabulous house on Tennessee Street, we had nothing but a dingy ivory couch for about a month. The cracked walls expressed no allegiance to film or music, guest seated consisted of collapsible lawn chairs and the lone coffee table served as an off-kilter footstool to the few who could seize a spot on the couch.
It wasn't a home. It was a crack den. No one wants to live in a crack den. So when a drunken lodger hurled his Friday night Four Lokos onto our only sofa, I snapped.
I never considered the importance of furniture on mental health until I had none. I avoided my living room for weeks, because it creepily resembled the backdrop to an episode of Intervention. In addition to crummy living quarters, my financial state did not agree with my lofty pipe dreams of Ethan Allen sectionals and mahogany corner bars. Let's be honest, I can barely tip the Jimmy John's guy. Besides, why splurge on furniture that sloppy college
kids could potentially mistake for a toilet?
The answer lies in Craig, Craigslist, to be exact.
With no sign-up, posting or buyer's fees, Craigslist is an excellent source for college furnishings. The greatest part of Craigslist
transactions, however, is bartering. Don't want to pay $100 for a used loveseat? Offer them $80 or no deal. More often than not, they'll prefer a lower price than none at all. Like a virtual scavenger hunt, Craiglist is an amenable marketplace where the buyer is in
control.
For example, I bought a twin mattress and box spring for $35 only to sell it for $50 when I upgraded to a queen. The transactions were remarkably smooth. It almost seemed clandestine. There were no shipping fees or credit card billing address forms, nothing but the crisp exchange of cash for commodity. Craiglist is at least worth a shot. (Just try not to get sidetracked in the "Casual Encounter" section.)
Likewise, Goodwill is a goldmine for home decor. In my rehabilitated living room sits a $4 fake tree plant, $6 hanging mirror and $10 rocking chair all of which I scored at the Lawrence Goodwill. Consignment shops offer everything from framed landscape paintings to bed frames. All you have to do is look.
So go forth and peruse the nooks and crannies of Craigslist! Rummage through the options at your nearest Goodwill! Turn your crack den into a castle!

However in the short term it can impact even healthy young people. When you donate plasma they are taking off specialized proteins called antibodies. They are our first line of defense against infection. And personally in the height of flu season I would not recommend anyone donate plasma because we all need to keep our antibodies at a nice healthy level.
UDK: Have you seen students come in with problems or injuries cause by plasma donation?
UDK: Some people bruise at the location where the needle is used for plasma donation. Is this serious?
Denning: I do on occasion see people who come in who are sick who have influenza or respiratory infections who have donated plasma. And I'm like, quit doing that until flu seasons over!
Denning: It's not uncommon to get a little hematoma here or there. It's uncomfortable and does look very ugly and scary but those generally go away.

Pets are both a blessing and a burden

They're the roommates who greet you when you come home, cheer you up after a rough day, and never forget to pay the water bill. The downside is that they require you to constantly clean up their poop.

Jayhawks come out of tough weekend, 3-2

BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com
The Jayhawks faced tough competition in Las Vegas for the Eller Media Stadium Classic and ended the weekend 3-2 and are now 17-3 on the season. Friday the team split the day recording a 10-7 loss to Bradley and a 3-1 victory against San Jose State. Saturday was split again with a 10-1 loss to UNLV and a 7-6 win against Troy. Sunday the Jayhawks shut out San Diego, 7-0.
"We just didn't come out as the same team that we have been playing all year. We came out really dry, just not focused, not locked into what we were doing," sophomore Maggie Hull said.
Saturday was the team's toughest day. It was not the same team that had started 13-0.
"We did the same things we did the other weekends but Saturday we just were not as intense as the other teams," coach Megan Smith said. "We didn't pick up that intensity level until the sixth inning against Troy. That was the key for us this weekend, we just didn't
The lack of intensity was apparent against UNLV. The Runnin' Rebels put up two runs on four hits in the bottom of the first inning and then pulled away with six more runs in the third. They took advantage of three walks and two hit by pitches.

Kansas' sole run was a single by sophomore Mariah Montgomery to plate senior Brittany Hite. During the bottom of the fourth she made a strong defensive play catching a runner stealing. The Jayhawks also benefited from a force out at third. However, it was not enough to end the inning. The Rebels responded to the two outs by loading the bases and scoring two more runs to end the contest 10-1 in five innings.
10-9 in five innings. The evening game against Troy showed Kansas' ability to fight back. The team had one hit in the first five innings but then scored two runs on three hits in the top of the sixth. After the first six innings, they trailed 5-2 then Hile hit a grand slam, her second career

"Never heard of nice things from Missouri coming west," she said.
But molasses and basketball are two different kinds of sweet. I'm not saying you have to like Missouri. You don't have to respect them, either. Just be aware: this program sits far away from the slums of the conference. As difficult a concept to grasp as it may be, it's not all about wins and losses. Basketball isn't black and white. Missouri is climbing an uphill path. And no matter how gradual it may be, it's a positive direction, stemming from Anderson's leadership.
one point, junior guard Tyshawn Taylor passed left, then looked, and the ball soared out of bounds and at Anderson's bench. It was a case of Taylor thinking too much instead of just playing. It was the kind of mental lapse that makes Anderson's Tigers who they are — a team with disruptive identity.
He didn't have much of a game on Saturday, but freshman Phil Pressey will be a cornerstone at the point guard position. Junior guard Marcus Denmon, who averages 16.8 points per game, might be the most improved player in the Big 12. We're still waiting to hear from Ben McLemore, St. Louis, Mo. prospect, who is No. 49 on the ESPNU 100 rankings and is deciding between Missouri and Kansas.
In the Anderson era, Missouri is only 1-10 against Kansas. But going into this season, he was the winningest coach in school history, recording an 88-46 record in his first four seasons at the helm in Columbia, Mo. He led the Tigers to a Big 12 Conference postseason championship and an Elite Eight appearance in 2009 and sent three players from that team, guard J.T. Tiller and forwards DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons, to the NBA.
Now layhawk fans, hear me out. I commit no treason, nor scribble sinful thoughts. I'm with the old woman from The Outlaw Josey Wales, too. I'll do without molasses from Missouri.
Not too long ago, that one wouldn't be much of a debate

Dogs, cats, and other pets might be adorable, but they can also present challenges to college students.
"I always had a dog growing up and I missed the fun and companionship a dog provides," said Dustin Glessner, a junior from Herington. He got his chocolate lab, Hinrich, in August after finding an apartment that was pet friendly. "Hinrich's happy nature is contagious and he does a great

"I always had a dog growing up and I missed the fun and companionship a dog provides."
job of relieving stress," Glessner said. This feeling that pets relieve anxiety is common among college students. Researchers at Ohio State University
DUSTIN GLESSNER Junior from Herington
in 2008 found that 18 percent of students with pets felt that their animals helped them cope with stress and avoid loneliness. The study found that this feeling was particularly strong among freshmen and sophomores adapting to living on their own.
While pets can be a comfort, they can also be a nuisan. Animals require a level of consistent care that can be at odds with some aspects of the college lifestyle, such as having a limited amount of space, chaotic schedule, and small budget.
Pets, especially dogs and cats, can be expensive. Food, toys, medication and visits to the vet add up quickly, costing over $500 a year according to estimates from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The idea of buying an adorable newborn might be appealing, but puppies and kittens can cost even more with spaying or neutering and vaccinations. Owners are legally required to vaccinate their pets and spaying or neutering is recommended to prevent overpopulation.
Adopting a pet is a more budget-friendly option; The Lawrence Humane Society offers cats for $60 to $90 and dogs for $110. The price includes a health exam, shots, and a free visit to a local vet.
Sometimes outside factors such as property regulations can
influence whether or not a student gets a four-legged companion. Some properties in Lawrence prohibit pets, but Meadowbrook, the Grove, the Exchange
and Aberdeen apartments all allow cats and dogs as long as they are relatively small and well-behaved. Dogs under 30 pounds are generally considered acceptable, but larger dogs may be allowed if the manager determines that the dog is not a threat to property. They also require tenants to pay a one time pet fee or a small monthly charge per pet. Campus dorms or apartments do not allow pets, aside from fish.
For Glessner, having a pet has been rewarding but not without its difficulties. "Making arrangements for someone to watch him or finding a way to take him where I'm going can be challenging," he said. "Many students would love a pet, but the most important thing is not to put yourself or a pet in a bad situation."

CSL Behring processes plasma to take out specific proteins and antibodies needed to fight disease.
"Well, it's extremely important for people with rare diseases such as hemophilia, immune deficiencies, inherited respiratory disease and a number of other serious rare diseases," said Christopher Florentz, manager of cooperate communications. "We take the plasma collected by our CSL plasma collection centers and we put it through a process called fractionation where basically we separated out the proteins in the plasma and we use those proteins to make biotherapies that are used to treat various diseases."
To create plasma products the company needs raw plasma. This is where the donation centers and students like Holbrook Walker come in.
"I told everyone I was doing it for a good cause but really I wanted money for back to school clothes," Walker said. "My paycheck I got all went to my rent and I needed some extra money to do that."
Holbrook did not want to have to get a job and balance schoolwork.
"I basically got paid to sit there and study," he said.
b basically got paid to sit there and study, he said.
During the semester, Holbrook sometimes made biweekly trips to the CSL plasma donation center,
earning about $400 from more than 20 trips.
Donor compensation differs by weight class. The more a donor weighs the more plasma the center can take and the more money the donor can make.
"If you weigh under 150 it's not even worth it" Holbrook said. "It's like making minimum wage."
Florentz said that on average, a CSL plasma donation center pays $2 million per year to donors and that in total, donors made 18.5 million plasma donations in the U.S. in 2008.
With his ankle weights, Holbrook tipped the scales at just over 150 pounds.
"We refer to it as donating because we compensate for their time as opposed to their plasma," Florentz said.
Kansan: Is donating plasma a good idea or not from the donor's perspective?
Denning: From the donor perspective it could cut either way. For people who are young and healthy it doesn't impact their overall health in the long-term. However in the short term it can impact even healthy young people. When you donate plasma they are taking off specialized proteins called antibodies.

Help with heavy lifting and household jobs are just a couple of perks to having your significant other around the house. But couples should also consider the possible consequences of living together.
For better or for worse: living with a significant other
BY VICTORIA PITCHER
editor@kansan.com
Deciding who to live with is not an easy process.
"Will we get along?" "Are they going to pay the bills on time?"
For a number of students these are questions are being asked of their boyfriend or girlfriend. Cohabitation seems to be an uncommon occurrence among University students, but for some, it is a beneficial option.
Jennifer Stastny, a junior from Wichita, has been dating Todd Claim, a senior from Wichita, for more than two years and deciding to live with her boyfriend was easy. "I definitely weighed the pros and cons," Stastny said, "but I can't imagine not living with him now."
The obvious benefits to living with a significant other include expenses being cut in half
and more time spent with that person. "We get to see each other and spend more time together." Claim said. "It's been good."
Claim lives with Stastny along with three other female roommates. For the most part he doesn't mind living with women.
"I like living with girls a lot better than a bunch of guys." Claid said. "It's a lot cleaner."
And the female roommates feel an added bonus of security from having Claim as a roommate.
"He makes me feel safer," Taryn Barker, a junior from Wichita, said.
Living with a boyfriend or girlfriend has its upsides, but it definitely comes with difficulties. The large amounts of time together can create stress in the relationship. "Living with somebody, they see every side of you," Stastny said. "We get sick of each other."
There are a lot of things to consider before
He said the hardest things in a cohabitation environment are dealing with money, communication, cleanliness and sharing of duties.
moving in together. Chris Crandall, professor of social psychology, advises students to think about the pragmatics.
"Stuff outside of the relationship is tremendously important." Crandall said.
"You need to be aware of the size of the commitment," Crandall said.
Megan Harrod, a property manager at Tuckaway Apartments, has seen both successful and unsuccessful living arrangements between couples. Different factors, including age and length of the relationship, play a part in the effectiveness of living with a significant other.
"Once you feel more serious about someone, I wouldn't say it's a bad idea," Harrod said about students living together. "Generally it's
Students should consider the length of the lease and therefore the commitment. In the event of a break up,couples sharing a lease would still be obligated to abide by the terms they signed on.
worked out."
Living with a boyfriend or girlfriend while in college is generally uncommon. Couples may feel as if they are not in the right time in their lives or relationships to handle the ups and downs that come with living with their significant other. For other couples like Stastny and Clain, it's a beneficial living arrangement.
"I know it's not traditional, but nowadays you should," Stastny advises.

Jayhawks limp into conference tournament
The Kansas women's basketball team hopes to bounce back from its two recent losses while the focus shifts from the starting lineup to the bench.

CSL Behring processes plasma to take out specific proteins and antibodies needed to fight disease.
"Well, it's extremely important for people with rare diseases such as hemophilia, immune deficiencies, inherited respiratory disease and a number of other serious rare diseases," said Christopher Florentz, manager of cooperate communications. "We take the plasma collected by our CSL plasma collection centers and we put it through a process called fractionation where basically we separated out the proteins in the plasma and we use those proteins to make biotherapies that are used to treat various diseases."
To create plasma products the company needs raw plasma. This is where the donation centers and students like Holbrook Walker come in.
"I told everyone I was doing it for a good cause but really I wanted money for back to school clothes," Walker said. "My paycheck I got all went to my rent and I needed some extra money to do that."
Holbrook did not want to have to get a job and balance schoolwork.
"I basically got paid to sit there and study," he said.
1 basically got paid to sit there and study, he said. During the semester, Holbrook sometimes made biweekly trips to the CSL plasma donation center, earning about $400 from more than 20 trips.
Donor compensation differs by weight class. The more a donor weighs the more plasma the center can take and the more money the donor can make.
"If you weigh under 150 it's not even worth it," Holbrook said. "It's like making minimum wage."
With his ankle weights, Holbrook tipped the scales at just over 150 pounds.
Florentz said that on average, a CSL plasma donation center pays $2 million per year to donors and that in total, donors made 18.5 million plasma donations in the U.S. in 2008.
"We refer to it as donating because we compensate for their time as opposed to their plasma," Florentz said.
Kansan: Is donating plasma a good idea or not from the donor's perspective?
UDK: Have you seen students come in with problems or injuries cause by plasma donation?
Denning: From the donor perspective it could cut either way. For people who are young and healthy it doesn't impact their overall health in the long-term. However in the short term it can impact even healthy young people. When you donate plasma they are taking off specialized proteins called antibodies. They are our first line of defense against infection. And personally in the height of flu season I would not recommend anyone donate plasma because we all need to keep our animals at a nice healthy level.
Denning: I do on occasion see people who come in who are sick who have influenza or respiratory infections who have donated plasma. And I'm like, quit doing that until flu seasons over!
UDK: Some people bruise at the location where the needle is used for plasma donation. Is this serious?
Denning: It's not uncommon to get a little hematoma here or there. It's uncomfortable and does look very ugly and scary but those generally go away.

The amount of money a donor receives for a plasma donation varies with weight, visit number and the amount of donations the donor has made in a week. This graph shows what donors will make during each visit to the CSL Plasma Donation Center assuming they give plasma twice a week.

Jayhawks come out of tough weekend, 3-2
BY HANNAH WISE

The Jayhawks faced tough competition in Las Vegas for the Eller Media Stadium Classic and ended the weekend 3-2 and are now 17-3 on the season. Friday the team split the day recording a 10-7 loss to Bradley and a 3-1 victory against San Jose State. Saturday was split again with a 10-1 loss to UNLV and a 7-6 win against Troy. Sunday the Jayhawks shut out San Diego, 7-0.

"We just didn't come out as the same team that we have been playing all year. We came out really dry, just not focused, not locked into what we were doing," sophomore Maggie Hull said.
"We did the same things we did the other weekends but Saturday we just were not as intense as the other teams," coach Megan Smith said. "We didn't pick up that intensity level until the sixth inning against Troy. That was the key for us this weekend, we just didn't
Saturday was the team's toughest day. It was not the same team that had started 13-0.
Kansas' sole run was a single by sophomore Mariah Montgomery to plate senior Brittany Hile. During the bottom of the fourth she made a strong defensive play catching a runner stealing. The Jayhawks also benefited from a force out at third. However, it was not enough to end the inning. The Rebels responded to the two outs by loading the bases and scoring two more runs to end the contest 10-1 in five innings.
The lack of intensity was apparent against UNLV. The Runnin' Rebels put up two runs on four hits in the bottom of the first inning and then pulled away with six more runs in the third. They took advantage of three walks and two hit by pitches.

The evening game against Troy showed Kansas' ability to fight back. The team had one hit in the first five innings but then scored two runs on three hits in the top of the sixth. After the first six innings, they trailed 5-2 then Hile hit a grand slam, her second career

"Never heard of nice things from Missouri coming west," she said.
But molasses and basketball are two different kinds of sweet. I'm not saying you have to like Missouri. You don't have to respect them, either. Just be aware: this program sits far away from the slums of the conference. As difficult a concept to grasp as it may be, it's not all about wins and losses. Basketball isn't black and white. Missouri is climbing an uphill path. And no matter how gradual it may be, it's a positive direction, stemming from Anderson's leadership.
one point, junior guard Tyshawn Taylor passed left, then looked, and the ball soared out of bounds and at Anderson's bench. It was a case of Taylor thinking too much instead of just playing. It was the kind of mental lapse that makes Anderson's Tigers who they are — a team with a disruptive identity.
Now Jayhawk fans, hear me out. I commit no treason, nor scribble sinful thoughts. I'm with the old woman from The Outlaw Josey Wales, too. I'll do without molasses from Missouri.
this oppen in the Anderson era, Missouri is only 1-10 against Kansas. But going into this season, he was the winningest coach in school his history, recording an 88-46 record in his first four seasons at the helm in Columbia, Mo. He led the Tigers to a Big 12 Conference postseason championship and an Elite Eight appearance in 2009 and sent three players from that team, guard T.J. Tiller and forwards DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons, to the NBA.
He didn't have much of a game on Saturday, but freshman Phil Pressey will be a cornerstone at the point guard position. Junior guard Marcus Denmon, who averages 16.8 points per game, might be the most improved player in the Big 12. We're still waiting to hear from Ben McLemore, St. Louis, Mo.prospect, who is No.49 on the ESPNU 100 rankings and is deciding between Missouri and Kansas.
Not too long ago, that one wouldn't be much of a debate.

The annual average temperature in Kansas is about 57 degrees Fahrenheit. But any Kansan resident can attest to the weather changing often — from freezing rain one day to perfect weather for throwing a Frisbee in the park the next. But it's not this ideal weather that causes us to be nervous to open our monthly utility bills. Instead, it is those days when we stand up with our snuggies on and hesitate before touching the thermostat. How could turning it up a few degrees really hurt? Well, considering that heating or cooling your place takes up a little more than 50 percent of total average energy used, it could have a big impact on your bills.
Aside from tips on watching your heating and cooling bill, you can also cut down on energy use by replacing archaic incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient light bulbs.
The difference is a few bucks but the fluorescent bulbs will outlive incandescent, making them pay for themselves in the long run.
Water usage can also tack on a hefty penny to your bill. Look for low-flow toilets and shower heads that reduce excess water usage.
Be sure to check with your landlord or apartment complex to find out what you are able to do to cut down your utilities.
Ask your landlord or stop by your local hardware store for more tips.
Tips to save energy, money
Edited by Alex Garrison
- Turn the thermostat down when you are about to go to bed. No need to heat the whole place when you're bundled up getting your Zzz's on.
Consider a space heater if you are mainly in one room at your place.
Check your vents or outlets for cold drafts.
You can buy outlet plugs at your local hardware store.
■ Insulate the inside of your windows so the cold air is kept at bay.
- **If you use the oven to make a meal, turn the oven off after use but leave it open so the extra heat circulates.**
- Keep track of your utility bills to make sure there is not an unnecessary spike or you are not being overcharged.

Kansas' sole run was a single by sophomore Mariah Montgomerie to plate senior Brittany Hile. During the bottom of the fourth she made a strong defensive play catching a runner stealing. The jayhawks also benefited from a force out at third. However, it was not enough to end the inning. The Rebels responded to the two outs by loading the bases and scoring two more runs to end the contest 10-1 in five innings.
The evening game against Troy showed Kansas' ability to fight back. The team had one hit in the first five innings but then scored two runs on three hits in the top of the sixth. After the first six innings, they trailed 5-2 then Hile hit a grand slam, her second career

one point, junior guard Tyshawn Taylor passed left, then looked, and the ball soared out of bounds and at Anderson's bench. It was a case of Taylor thinking too much instead of just playing. It was the kind of mental lapse that makes Anderson's Tigers who they are — a team with disruptive identity.
"Never heard of nice things from Missouri coming west" she said.
Missouri coming west, she said.
But molasses and basketball are two different kinds of sweet. I'm not saying you have to like Missouri. You don't have to respect them, either.
Just be aware: this program sits far away from the slums of the conference. As difficult a concept to grasp as it may be, it's not all about wins and losses. Basketball isn't black and white. Missouri is climbing an uphill path. And no matter how gradual it may be, it's a positive direction, stemming from Anderson's leadership.
In the Anderson era, Missouri is only 1-10 against Kansas. But going into this season, he was the winningest coach in school history, recording an 88-46 record in his first four seasons at the helm in Columbia, Mo. He led the Tigers to a Big 12 Conference postseason championship and an Elite Eight appearance in 2009 and sent three players from that team, guard J.T. Tiller and forwards DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons, to the NBA.
Now Jayhawk fans, hear me out. I commit no treason, nor scribble sinful thoughts. I'm with the old woman from The Outlaw Josey Wales, too. I'll do without molasses from Missouri.

He didn't have much of a game on Saturday, but freshman Phil Pressey will be a cornerstone at the point guard position. Junior guard Marcus Denmong, who averages 16.8 points per game, might be the most improved player in the Big 12. We're still waiting to hear from Ben McLemore, St. Louis, Mo. prospect, who is No. 49 on the ESPNU 100 rankings and is deciding between Missouri and Kansas.
Not too long ago, that one wouldn't be much of a debate.

SAFETY
Tenants should keep security the priority
BY VICTORIA PITCHER
editor@kansan.com
Safety should always be a top concern for students, no matter where they chose to live. While students are often worried about costs or who they will be living with, they tend to leave safety out of the equation.
"Safety cannot be guaranteed, so it is important that students take an active role in their own well-being," said Amy Bonnell, leasing manager at Legends Place apartments.
Chelsea Paxton, a senior from Newton, has lived on her own for three years and is no stranger to apartment hunting. Charlie Bars and dead bolts are on the list of things she looks for in an apartment.
Charlie Bars are sticks made of metal or wood that are wedged in a sliding glass door to prevent it from opening. She also prefers places with an on-site courtesy cop.
"Smart students and parents always ask about safety when shopping for an apartment," said Bonnell.
During the apartment search, Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety captain, recommends that students check for solid doors and quality locks. "When [students] are shopping, that should go on the list of must have or would like to have,"
Bailey said.
The old saying "safety in numbers" is very useful advice.
"We encourage safe behavior, like locking doors and windows, walking with friends, and most importantly being alert," Bonnell said.
She also advises communication between roommates. Roommates should set guidelines for locking doors and windows and rules for having company.
Location is another element to consider when looking for apartments. Certain locations in Lawrence are said to be safer than others, but for statistical evidence of where crime occurs in Lawrence, an interactive crime map is available online at lawrenceks.org/police. This map depicts what kind of crime was reported and where in Lawrence it occurred.
But you could be a victim of crime in any neighborhood if you're not careful, Paulton said.
"Awareness is definitely going to be the number one safety tip" Bailey said. Staying aware of your surroundings and befriending a neighbor you trust are just a few tips Bailey gives to stay safe.
And if all else fails, call 911. "If it's a bump in the night that's got you concerned, call the police." Bailey said.

APARTMENT SAFETY TIPS
Always lock your doors, even when you are at home
- If you live in a ground floor apartment, be sure to also lock windows and patio doors.
- A broomstick cut to length and wedged firmly into the lower track makes an inexpensive second lock for a sliding patio door. Exterior doors should be solid, not hollow, and should be equipped with a glass viewer allowing you to see who is at your door before opening it.
- If your door is equipped with a safety chain, have it latched before opening the door to someone you do not know. But remember the safety chain is very weak security.
- Parking lots, stairways and hallways should be well lighted. Notify the manager or maintenance personnel of any problems and have burned out bulbs replaced immediately.
- Trees and shrubbery should never block the view of doorways or windows.
- Have the maintenance personnel complete a service call.
- Never allow service people into your apartment without an appointment. If you did not schedule the service work, contact your apartment manager or the service company for verification.
- Have your neighbors or friends watch your apartment when you are gone for extended periods of time.
- Stop the delivery of newspapers and have your mail held at the Post Office when you will be away for extended periods of time.
- Inexpensive timers set to turn your light on and off at different times can give the appearance that your apartment is occupied.

cal year.
"Well, it's extremely important for people with rare diseases such as hemophilia, immune deficiencies, inherited respiratory disease and a number of other serious rare diseases," said Christopher Florentz, manager of cooperate communications. "We take the plasma collected by our CSL plasma collection centers and we put it through a process called fractionation where basically we separated out the proteins in the plasma and we use those proteins to make biotherapies that are used to treat various diseases."
To create plasma products the company needs raw plasma. This is where the donation centers and students like Holbrook Walker come in.
"I told everyone I was doing it for a good cause but really I wanted money for back to school clothes," Walker said. "My paycheck I got all went to my rent and I needed some extra money to do that."
Holbrook did not want to have to get a job and balance schoolwork.
Donor compensation differs by weight class. The more a donor weighs the more plasma the center can take and the more money the donor can make.
1 basically got paid to sit there and study, he said.
During the semester, Holbrook sometimes made biweekly trips to the CSL plasma donation center,
earning about $400 from more than 20 trips.
"If you weigh under 150 it not even worth it," Holbrook said. "It's like making minimum wage."
With his ankle weights, Holbrook tipped the scales at just over 150 pounds.
Florentz said that on average, a CSL plasma donation center pay $2 million per year to donors and that in total, donors made 18.5 million plasma donations in the U.S. in 2008.
"We refer to it as donating because we compensate for their time as opposed to their plasma," Florentz said.
Kansan: Is donating plasma a good idea or not from the donor's perspective?
Denning: From the donor perspective it could cut either way. For people who are young and healthy it doesn't impact their overall health in the long-term. However in the short term it can impact even healthy young people. When you donate plasma they are taking off specialized proteins called antibodies. They are our first line of defense against infection. And personally in the height of flu season I would not recommend anyone donate plasma because we all need to keep our antibodies at a nice healthy level.
UDK: Have you seen students come in with problems or injuries cause by plasma donation?
Denning: It's not uncommon to get a little hematoma here or there. It's uncomfortable and does look very ugly and scary but those generally go away.
Denning: I do on occasion see people who come in who are sick who have influenza or respiratory infections who have donated plasma. And I'm like, quit doing that until flu seasons over!
UDK: Some people bruise at the location where the needle is used for plasma donation. Is this serious?
Edited by Tali David
The amount of money a donor receives for a plasma donation varies with weight, visit number and the amount of donations the donor has made in a week. This graph shows what donors will make during each visit to the CSL Plasma Donation Center assuming they give plasma twice a week.

The Jayhawks faced tough competition in Las Vegas for the Eller Media Stadium Classic and ended the weekend 3-2 and are now 17-3 on the season. Friday the team split the day recording a 10-7 loss to Bradley and a 3-1 victory against San Jose State. Saturday was split again with a 10-1 loss to UNLV and a 7-6 win against Troy. Sunday the Jayhawks shut out San Diego, 7-0.
"We just didn't come out as the same team that we have been playing all year. We came out really dry, just not focused, not locked into what we were doing," sophomore Maggie Hull said.
Saturday was the team's toughest day. It was not the same team that had started 13-0.
"We did the same things we did the other weekends but Saturday we just were not as intense as the other teams," coach Megan Smith said. "We didn't pick up that intensity level until the sixth inning against Troy. That was the key for us this weekend, we just didn't
have any intensity."
The lack of intensity was apparent against UNIV. The Runnin' Rebels put up two runs on four hits in the bottom of the first inning and then pulled away with six more runs in the third. They took advantage of three walks and two hit by pitches.
Kansas' sole run was a single by sophomore Mariah Montgomery to plate senior Brittany Hile. During the bottom of the fourth she made a strong defensive play catching a runner stealing. The Jayhawks also benefited from a force out at third. However, it was not enough to end the innings.

In the Anderson era, Missouri is only 1-10 against Kansas. But going into this season, he was the winningest coach in school his history, recording an 88-46 record in his first four seasons at the helm in Columbia, Mo.

Friday the team split the day recording a 10-7 loss to Bradley and a 3-1 victory against San Jose State. Saturday was split again with a 10-1 loss to UNLV and a 7-6 win against Troy. Sunday the Jayhawks shut out San Diego, 7-0.
"We just didn't come out as the same team that we have been playing all year. We came out really dry, just not focused, not locked into what we were doing, sophomore Maggie Hull said.
"We did the same things we did the other weekends but Saturday we just were not as intense as the other teams," coach Megan Smith said. "We didn't pick up that intensity level until the sixth inning against Troy. That was the key for us this weekend, we just didn't

have any intensity."
The lack of intensity was apparent against UNLV. The Runnin' Rebels put up two runs on four hits in the bottom of the first inning and then pulled away with six more runs in the third. They took advantage of three walks and two hit by pitches.
Kansas' sole run was a single by sophomore Mariah Montgomery to plate senior Brittany Hile. During the bottom of the fourth she made a strong defensive play catching a runner stealing. The Jayhawks also benefited from a force out at third. However, it was not enough to end the innings. Rebels responded to the two outs by loading the bases and scoring two more runs to end the contest 10-1 in five innings.
The evening game against Troy showed Kansas' ability to fight back. The team had one hit in the first five innings but then scored two runs on three hits in the top of the sixth. After the first six innings, they trailed 5-2 then Hile at a grand slam, her second career

one point, junior guard Tyshawn Taylor passed left, then looked, and the ball soared out of bounds and at Anderson's bench. It was a case of Taylor thinking too much instead of just playing. It was the kind of mental lapse that makes Anderson's Tigers who they are — a team with disruptive identity.
In the Anderson era, Missouri is only 1-10 against Kansas. But going into this season, he was the winningest coach in school history, recording an 88-46 record in his first four seasons at the helm in Columbia, Mo. He led the Tigers to a Big 12 Conference postseason championship and an Elite Eight appearance in 2009 and sent three players from that team, guard J.T. Tiller and forwards DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons, to the NBA.
"Never heard of nice things from Missouri coming west," she said.
Now Jayhawk fans, hear me out. I commit no treason, nor scribble sinful thoughts. I'm with the old woman from The Outlaw Josey Wales, too. I'll do without molasses from Missouri.
But molasses and basketball are two different kinds of sweet. I'm not saying you have to like Missouri. You don't have to respect them, either. Just be aware: this program sits far away from the slums of the conference. As difficult a concept to grasp as it may be, it's not all about wins and losses. Basketball isn't black and white. Missouri is climbing an uphill path. And no matter how gradual it may be, it's a positive direction, stemming from Anderson's leadership.
He didn't have much of a game on Saturday, but freshman Phil Pressey will be a cornerstone at the point guard position. Junior guard Marcus Denmon, who averages 16.8 points per game, might be the most improved player in the Big 12. We're still waiting to hear from Ben McLemore, St. Louis, Mo. prospect, who is No. 49 on the ESPNU 100 rankings and is deciding between Missouri and Kansas.
Not too long ago, that one wouldn't be much of a debate

Ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrates lobby renovation
After four months of construction, the new Kemper Foyer is ready for the public
BY WESTON PLETCHER wpletcher@kansan.com
Chris Neal/KANSAN
The renovations for the lobby expansion at the Lied Center have been completed and will be open to the public following the ribbon-cutting ceremony held today.
The new lobby expansion was funded by the William T. Kemper Foundation, Commerce Bank, trustee. The William T. Kemper Foundation made a $300,000 donation. The lobby expansion was completed two months ago in January and took four months to complete.
Tim Van Leer, executive director of the Lied Center, said the expansion will provide ample space for audiences when they come to the Lied Center.
"Besides being a more 'people-friendly' space when we have events in the facility, it will give us another space for small meetings, receptions and catered functions," Van Leer said.
The addition, which added 1,800 square feet to the front of the Lied Center, doubled the existing size of the lobby.
The lobby expansion isn't the only renovation taking place at the Lied Center.
"We are also constructing a new, multi-purpose Pavilion to be used for small performances, catered functions, education activities, meetings and rehearsal by visiting artists," Van Leer said.
The pavilion will be a place for visiting and local artists to engage with the community. The Lied Center offers specialties in education and engagement programs such as pre- and post-performance discussions, demonstrations, lectures, workshops, master classes and more. It will create more possibilities and special occasions for the Friends of the Lied to celebrate the arts.
"The new Pavilion is made possible by a gift from the Lied Foundation Trust. Construction began in September 2010 and we anticipate completion of the Pavilion this summer." Van Leer said.
The public is invited to the ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday in the new Kemper Foyer.

AT A GLANCE
A before and after look at the Lied Center expansion
BEFORE
Originally constructed in 1993, the Lied Center of Kansas is a performing arts venue that hosts a wide variety of productions, including Rock Chalk Revue. The Lied Center is dedicated to the parents of 1923 graduate Emrist F. Lied
AFTER
The current expansion project is to be completed during the spring semester. The project includes an expansion of the Lied Center's lobby, the creation of new office space and the construction of an education pavilion.
size
Currently, the Lied Center can occupy 2,020 people in the auditorium. This creates problems during high-occupancy events such as Convocation.
The current expansion will create an additional 1,800 feet of space. The new 60-foot by 40 foot practice stage mirrors the current Lied Center stage.
money
The Lied Foundation donated $10 million to the University in order to fund the construction of the Lied Center.
Funding for the expansion was made possible by a $2.5 million donation to the Univiesby the Lied Foundation and a $300,000 donation from the Kemper Foundation
function
According to the Lied Center's mission statement, the purpose of this organization is to promote the arts and education through performance.
The expansion will provide additional practice space for state productions as well as displays providing information on the history of Ernest F. Lied and the Lied Foundation Trust.
trivia
The $10 million Lied Foundation Trust donation to initially construct the Lied Center was the largest donation to KU ever at the time
The Lied Center expansion was originally proposed in 2005, but the project was scrapped due to a lack of funding.

PLASMA MONEY
The ins and outs of giving plasma
BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com
Dustin Holbrook watched the needle in his arm feed the machine. The machine whirred and beeped as it filled a plastic bottle with a yellowish-white liquid. The liquid, called blood plasma, consisted of the proteins, platelets, water and antibodies found in Holbrook's blood.
The donation room, filled with rows of donors hooked to up to identical machines, smelled of rubbing alcohol and iodine. Holbrook's legs, each strapped with a five-pound ankle weight, lay crossed on the pleather medical couch.
He squeezed what resembled a detached rubber crutch handle. It made his blood flow faster into the machine. The quicker he could fill the plastic bottle the quicker he could get paid.
Like hundreds of other KU students each year, Holbrook, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., donated plasma as a source of income. Because payment is based on weight, Holbrook wore ankle weights to increase his take.
"I was doing it because I had no money and didn't want to get a job," he said. "I was just doing school stuff and didn't want to spread myself out more."
While plasma donation might be a well-known source of income among the student population, knowledge of the process and the risks sometimes involved can be based more on hear-say than fact.
"I mean, I have heard horror stories, and I have had people tell me they have never had any problems," said former plasma donor Kristen Walker, a junior from Spring Hill.
WHO PROFITS FROM PLASMA DONATION?
Blood plasma donation is a multi-billion dollar industry in the U.S. According to its finance report, CSL Behring, the company that oversees the Lawrence CSL Plasma Donation Center, recorded $3.5 billion in sales of plasma-derived products for the 2009 fiscal year.
CSL Behring processes plasma to take out specific proteins and antibodies needed to fight disease.
"Well, it's extremely important for people with rare diseases such as hemophilia, immune deficiencies, inherited respiratory disease and a number of other serious rare diseases," said Christopher Florentz, manager of cooperate communications. "We take the plasma collected by our CSL plasma collection centers and we put it through a process called fractionation where basically we separated out the proteins in the plasma and we use those proteins to make biotherapies that are used to treat various diseases."
To create plasma products the company needs raw plasma. This is where the donation centers and students like Holbrook Walker come in.
Holbrook did not want to have to get a job and balance schoolwork.
"I told everyone I was doing it for a good cause but really I wanted money for back to school clothes," Walker said. "My paycheck I got all went to my rent and needed some extra money to do that."
1 basically got paid to sit there and study," he said
Donor compensation differs by weight class. The more a donor weighs the more plasma the center can take and the more money the donor can make.
Touscanly got paid to sit there and study, he said. During the semester, Holbrook sometimes made biweekly trips to the CSL plasma donation center, earning about $400 from more than 20 trips.
"If you weigh under 150 it not even worth it," Holbrook said. "It's like making minimum wage."
With his ankle weights, Holbrook tipped the scales at just over 150 pounds.
Florentz said that on average, a CSL plasma donation center pay $2 million per year to donors and that in total, donors made 18.5 million plasma donations in the U.S. in 2008.
"We refer to it as donating because we compensate for their time as opposed to their plasma," Florentz said.
QA IS IT HEALTHY TO DONATE PLASMA?
Watkins Memorial Health Center Chief of Staff Patricia Denning provides a medical opinion on the risk of plasma donation.
Kansan: Is donating plasma a good idea or not from the donor's perspective?
Denning: From the donor perspective it could cut either way. For people who are young and healthy it doesn't impact their overall health in the long-term. However in the short term it can impact even healthy young people. When you donate plasma they are taking off specialized proteins called antibodies. They are our first line of defense against infection. And personally in the height of flu season I would not recommend anyone donate plasma because we all need to keep our antibodies at a nice healthy level.
UDK: Have you seen students come in with problems or injuries cause by plasma donation?
Denning: I do on occasion see people who come in who are sick who have influenza or respiratory infections who have donated plasma. And I'm like, quit doing that until flu seasons over!
UDK: Some people bruise at the location where the needle is used for plasma donation. Is this serious?
Denning: It's not uncommon to get a little hematoma here or there. It's uncomfortable and does look very ugly and scary but those generally go away.
Edited by Tali David
The amount of money a donor receives for a plasma donation varies with weight, visit number and the amount of donations the donor has made in a week. This graph shows what donors will make during each visit to the CSL Plasma Donation Center assuming they give plasma twice a week.

Emergency test alert pushed back

"We don't want to concern students if something is really going to be going on," said Jill Jess, University spokesperson.
JESS, UNIVERSITY The test, which will consist of a three-second alert tone, will be heard in 98 percent of KU's

"It's a good tool to communicate," Jess said. "Anytime we need to reach a large number of people,we can."
The system is tested once a year and can be specified to one building, group or all buildings.

City commission spends $14,000 on new Tasers for police
All Lawrence police officers must go through a training program before taking Tasers on patrol. The training includes different scenarios where force is necessary, and officers are even Tased to see how it feels.
LOCAL
"Police officers have a very difficult job," Corliss said. "They've got to make split-second decisions for the safety of the individuals around them, for the safety of any suspects, and for their own physical safety."
Corbiss said there has never been an instance of a Lawrence police officer misusing a Taser. "We are very fortunate to have excellent police officers who use force appropriately when it has to be used," he said.
The additional Tasers will be purchased during the next month.

Currently, Lawrence has 10 Tasers deployed in the field.

Cross said the court has several "means and methods" of collecting the restitution, including garnishing wages. The Internal Revenue Service has been involved with the case since the beginning, but the receiver of the garnished funds has yet to be determined. The federal judge in the case will determine sometime later this week if the federal government or Kansas Athletics, Inc., will get the money, Cross said.
"We've got more than just 10 police officers out on the streets," Corliss said. "We want to make sure that all police officers have that ability."

Box office sales stuck in slump
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — A diverse crop of four new movies premiering this weekend wasn't enough to bring the box office out of its recent slump.
Despite decent openings for both the computer-animated film "Rango" and the adult drama "The Adjustment Bureau," total ticket sales were down 31 percent from the same weekend in 2010, when the mega-hit "Alice in Wonderland" dominated the weekend. That
worsened a severe downward trend, with box office receipts down 21 percent so far year-to-date, according to Hollywood. com.

"The Adjustment Bureau," a science-fiction romance starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, collected $20.9 million for a decent second-place finish. But the weekend's two other new releases did not sell nearly as many tickets. "Beastly," a modern retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" set in high school, grossed $10.1 million, while the '80s romp "Take Me Home Tonight" barely registered at the box office with only $3.5 million.
"Rango" now has the highest opening weekend gross of any film so far this year, though not a great one given the

amount Paramount spent making it. Two people close to the production said the computer- animated Western cost close to $150 million to produce, while a studio spokeswoman said the budget was $135 million.
But unlike many animated films, "Rango" did not have the benefit of 3-D ticket surcharges. In the same month in 2009, the 3-D "Monsters vs. Aliens" opened to $59.3 million, while last March's 3-D "How to Train Your Dragon" debuted to $43.7 million.
Overseas, "Rango" opened in 33 foreign markets, taking in $16.5 million. "The Adjustment Bureau" also opened this weekend in 21 foreign territories, where it grossed $21.5 million, including a second-place finish behind "Rango" in Britain.
The moderate debut for "The Adjustment Bureau" came from an overwhelmingly adult audience, 73 percent of whom were older than 30. The movie, which centers on a couple being kept apart by supernatural forces, was produced and financed by Media Rights Capital, and Universal Pictures acquired its worldwide distribution rights for $62 million. Audiences gave it an average grade of B.

NFL should get rid of the quarterback
At the end of every football season, the NFL Competition Committee looks at its current set of rules and entertains possible tweaks. I believe this offseason they should get rid of the quarterback position, and after the NFL heeds my suggestion, the college game should follow suit.
Think about this: We all here at the University loved Todd Reesing, but didn't we love Kerry Meier more, especially after he switched to receiver? That's rhetorical. We all know it was about Kerry's hair.
All quarterbacks are completely inept, as evidenced by their inability to keep the damn ball in their team's hands - or even their own hands.

Jimmy Clausen, quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, threw nine interceptions and fumbled seven times in only 13 games this season. He only averaged 5.2 yards per
BY JAROD KILGORE jkilgore@kansan.com
pass, an astoundingly low number. Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal "I really like the letter 'A'" Charles averaged 6.4 yards per carry, a yard more per attempt than Clausen. Five running backs in the NFL this season averaged as much or more than 5.2 yards per attempt, and guess how many interceptions they threw... freaking zero.
I may just be using the stats of
a rookie quarterback on the worst team in the NFL to make my point look truer. Here's another example: Ben Roethlisberger is considered a "big game" quarterback, but he has a career postseason résumé of 19 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. He is awful the first three quarters of games, but then, he summons the inner strength needed in the fourth to not take no for an answer. (Something he is sometimes too good at.)
Bears, threw 26 interceptions, or 1.6 per game. Thomas Jones, a different running back for the Chiefs, recently went 862 touches without a turnover (43 straight games).
Any coach that has an affinity for clichés – all of them – will tell you that the turnover battle is the most important detail of the game, even more so than how much my team paid the refs versus how much your team paid the refs.
Who turns the ball over the most? Quarterbacks, by far. Last year, Jay Cutler, quarterback of the Chicago
Peyton Manning lost last year's Super Bowl to the Saints when he threw a late game interception, which was returned for a touchdown. You know who doesn't throw interceptions? Everyone else on the damn team.
Quarterbacks also fumble more often than any other position. Cutler is often heard mumbling to himself,
"Why are all my teammates so far away? Do I smell?"
No, Jay Cutler never does anything wrong. They smell!

Big businesses downtown not a big deal for small businesses
The word "corporation" isn't always a dirty word.
P
A corporation is an entity that must make money over time to survive. Corporations form the bedrock of our economy and hence our relative prosperity.
Corporations also sign most of our paychecks. Even if the average Joe works in a government or an educational institution, tax dollars from corporations and individuals help pay the bills.
For the most part, corporations make everything we eat, every garment we wear, every medication we take and every phone call we make.
When Borders in downtown Lawrence announced that it would close in the end of April, many of my friends commented on how sad they were to see it go.
Funny, one friend in particular was just as mad when it came to Lawrence as when it closed.
Even local bookstore owners were sad to see it go. The owner of the Raven Book Store was quoted as saying that she would miss the boxy corporation. Why in a town that thrives on small business would people be sad to see it go?
Because corporations matter in Lawrence, they provide jobs and stability. Even though Borders is closing, they provided nearly a decade of stability to downtown Lawrence. When you walk down Massachusetts Street some of the most popular stores are chains.
BY EVAN GATES
egates@kansan.com
What would Mass. Street be without Starbucks, Gap, Urban
Outfitters or Noodles and Co.?
Counters of Noodles and Co. Corporations are not always detrimental to a small town. For instance, Noodles and Co. works closely with KU organizations to help raise money for charity, something a lot of small businesses cannot afford.
What would Lawrence be without Target? I don't know a single college student who doesn't love Target.
So why is the word "corporation" dirty?
Because we only hear about them when they fail. The banking crisis, the Enron scandal, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, those are the corporations that come to mind. In reality, many big businesses do a lot of good in their communities.
Borders leaving is not a win for small business in Lawrence. They provided jobs and competition and many times carried things that smaller stores simply cannot afford to carry. So you see corporation doesn't have to be a dirty word, it can be quite beneficial.

ADDAFI'S SUNGLASSES PROTECTED HIS EYES FROM THE WORLD'S GLARE.

Our generation knows Fred Phelps and his Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church all too well. The church began its protest activities in 1991 at Gage Park in Topeka in an effort to crack down on perceived rampant homosexual activity. The group even circulated a flier titled "Gage Park: Sodomite Rats Nest."
Many of us are personally aware of Phelps' influence on communities. For those KU students who participated in the 2009 counter-protest at Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village, contributed to the 2010 "No Hate" campaign in the Eudora school district or joined similar efforts across Kansas to strike back against the hateful church, the recent news from the Supreme Court struck a nerve.
Ruling good for the First Amendment, bad for Kansas
D. G. M. A. H. S.
Our great state of Kansas is making headlines again, and it's more bad press.
BY MEGAN ADAMS madams@kansan.com
Albert Snyder, the father of late Marine Lance Cpl. Matthews
A. Snyder, brought the Westboro Baptist Church to court for causing emotional distress when they protested his son's funeral. The church has made it common practice to protest military funerals to share its message that American soldiers are dying as God's punishment for the United States' tolerance of homosexuals. Fred Phelps and his crew carried picket signs with "America is Doomed," and "God Hates Fags" at Snyder's funeral.
The Supreme Court ruled last week in an 8-to-1 decision that protesting at military funerals was
indeed constitutional, no matter the painful emotions inflicted on the family. Snyder v. Phelps is a landmark case for First Amendment rights, and one we will be hearing about for years to come.
In his decision, Chief Justice Roberts wrote, "Any distress occasioned by Westboro's picketing turned on the content and viewpoint of the message conveyed rather than any interference with the funeral itself." The church's activities are legal as long as they comply with the law and remain the required 1,000 feet away from the site of the funeral.
Many have criticized the decision. It's sick to think that the highest court in the land has given the OK to such a detestable activity. Many argue there should be a limit to free speech when it causes extremely emotional pain to those who are already experiencing a loss.
In his dissenting opinion Justice Alito writes, "Our profound national
commitment to free and open debate is not a license for the vicious verbal assault that occurred in this case."
For the Supreme Court to begin making decisions based on the emotional consequences of protests that are compliant with the law would signal an abandonment of our commitment to the First Amendment. As the Court has ruled previously, the content of one's free speech should never be restricted as long as it does not directly harm another.
What the church is doing is repugnant - no one is debating that - but prohibiting their activity puts us on a slippery slope.
This case reminds us that the Constitution protects the right of free speech for every American, no matter how disgusting and wrong the message. Proof once again that democracy is a double-edged sword.

KU research funding may decrease
BY CHRISTINE CURTIN ccurtin@kansan.com
The University is one of the 50 highest-ranked public research universities in the country. But with the U.S. House of Representatives approval of H.R.1, research funding will take a hit, and those cuts could hit close to home.
The federal budget deficit is skyrocketing, and government officials are making changes to ensure the country doesn't fall even deeper into a black hole of spending. H.R. 1 is a bill that lists the federal government's funding for 2011.
Kevin Boatright, director of communications for the University's Office of Research and Graduate Studies, said the
discretionary portions of the budget — which include science and research — are offentimes what take the most hits when budget difficulties happen.
"There is support for increasing research but we're in a budget environment where something has to go." Boatright said. "Unfortunately, that's an easy place to cut, even if it will have negative effects somewhere down the road."
While the cuts may affect the U.S.'s stance as a leading science and research developer, they also may impact researchers here on campus.
campus.
“KU has perfectly good people and great facilities, it's just tougher and tougher to obtain grant funding because competition is increasing. More people need the grants and the federal government's support for that has been relatively flat." Boatright said.
Not only is the federal funding important to research, but it's also important to the overall education of university students, as well.
"Federal research grants not only provide the funding for test tubes, lab equipment, or chemicals, but they provide the financial support for graduate students to continue their education as well as learning critical research skills in labs," Keith Yehle, director of federal relations for the University, said.
Boatright also said that a lot of the University's grant funding winds up as salaries for researchers or pays for research equipment.
President Obama has been pushing for an increase in research
budgets, even highlighting innovation in his State of the Union address earlier this year. However, Senate Democrats are proposing research cuts as well, just in lesser amounts.
amounts. With debates rising over the cuts and decreased funding imminent, an uncertainty is rising about what faculty and student can expect in terms of research money at the university.
"The funded research that comes from the federal government is the life-blood of research on this campus." Boatright said. "The prospect that that level of funding may reduce has serious repercussions for the future of our country and quality of our universities."

LOS ANGELES — CBS is down to one and a half men.
convey. The move to fire Sheen follows several weeks of highly public battling by the actor against CBS, Warner Bros. and "Two and a Half Men" co-creator Chuck Lorre.
"There is ample evidence supporting Warner Bros. reasonable good faith opinion that Mr. Sheen has committed felony offenses involving moral turpitude...that have interfered with his ability to fully and completely render all material services required" under his contract, noted the letter.
Charlie Sheen, star of the network's hit show "Two and a Half Men," was thrown off the show Monday by Warner Bros., the studio that produces the situation comedy.
Sheen's "self-destructive conduct resulted in his hospitalization, his inability to work at all for a period and the rapid erosion of the cooperative and creative process necessary to produce the show," lawyers representing the studio said in its letter to Sheen's lawyer, Martin Singer. The letter goes on to say that Sheen's admitted drug use and "furnishing of cocaine" to others puts him in violation of his contract.

Men co-creator Christine in a letter to Sheen's lawyer outlining its reasons for his dismissal, Warner Bros. charged that the actor's "erratic behavior" undermined production and said his tabloid lifestyle — which has included brushes with the law, accusations of violence toward women including two of his former wives and hospital trips — has put him in breach of his contract.
Neither Sheen's manager nor lawyer responded to requests for comment.
"Two and a Half Men" has been in limbo since January when CBS and Warner Bros. put the show on hiatus while Sheen took a forced leave to attend a rehabilitation facility. When Sheen opted to undergo
rehab treatment at home instead of at a facility, CBS, Warner Bros. and Lorre began to question if he was taking the process seriously according to the letter. Tensions then flared once the actor took to radio and TV interviews proclaiming he was ready to return to work a view the network and studio did not share.
After Sheen disparaged Lorre Warner Bros. and CBS in numerous interviews, the plug was pulled on the show for the remainder of the season.
the season.
Neither CBS nor Warner Bros would say if they would attempt to keep "Two and a Half Men" on the air without Sheen. The part Sheen plays — his character, Charlie, is a wealthy jingle writer who blows his money on girls and booze — could be recast. But without its longtime star, the sitcom may not stay on the top of the Nielsen ratings chart.
"I think it would be difficult to replace Charlie Sheen. People associate him so closely with the show and with that character," said Jason Malty, a media buyer with Mindshare, whose clients include American Express, Ford and IBM.
For CBS and Warner Bros. the loss of the show would be a big financial blow."Two and a Half Men" anchors the networks Monday night schedule and advertisers pay more than $200,000 per commercial to be on the show.
Warner Bros. also has a lot at stake in keeping the show on the air. Reruns of the show generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the studio, and lost episodes mean lost revenue.
for revenue.
For years, Sheen's personal life seemed to have no impact on his ability to get work. Trips to rehab messy divorces and even testifying about his penchant for prostitutes during the trial of Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss didn't stop the actor from raking in millions. His current deal for "Two and a Half Men" pays him about $2 million an episode when revenue from reruns is included.

BUSINESS
Boeing wins air tanker contract
The company's competitor for the $35 billion aerial tanker contract announced Friday that it won't appeal last week's decision by the Air Force to accept Boeing's bid.
The contract calls for 179 new tankers; the deal eventually could be worth more than $100 billion as the Air Force replaces its fleet of 600 or so Eisenhower-era tankers.
The Boeing tanker will be built at its factory in Everett, Wash., and converted to military use at its Wichita, Kan., facilities.

Last Friday, junior Allison Mayfield traveled to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., where she was the only Jayhawk among more than two hundred women trying out for the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team.
Mayfield said she is using the experience to grow, with lower focus on the results.
"I think the tryout went well, but with over two hundred girls there your odds aren't very good," said Mayfield. "I feel like it was just very humbling playing with all these girls who were all so very good."
To get to the tryout phase, Mayfield simply needed a coach's recommendation. Once she made it there, the top players in the country surrounded her for two and a half days of competition.
"I ran into girls from the conference that we play against, that was kind of fun to get to know them more and spend a couple days with them in an environment that we weren't competing against each other', she said.
On Friday, Mayfield lifted weights at 6:30 a.m. in Lawrence, left for Colorado at 10 a.m., and was in her first tryout session at 6 p.m. The sessions were held in an open gym divided down the

"Depending on the session we would learn different passing techniques and other times we would just be playing," Mayfield said. "It was about two hours of straight playing, and with the altitude it's kind of different than we are used to so girls were getting tired quicker."
Mayfield said going through the challenge of the tryout will

NFL LOCKOUT
Less football means fewer liquor dollars
As the Thursday deadline for NFL owners and players to reach a labor agreement approaches, no one is sure whether there will be a professional football season next fall.
However, owners of Lawrence liquor stores and sports bars are sure of this: less football, less dollars.
By Chris Hong
Steve Prososki, owner of the Yacht Club, said he definitely expected his Sunday business to decrease without an NFL season.
"I don't know what we'd do on Sundays," Miller said. "Hopefully it won't happen."
"You're still going to have regular people who want to enjoy beer before the start of the work week", Kennedy said.
Although the Yacht Club does not necessarily fill to capacity every Sunday, Prososki said he considers 10-15 good-sized groups watching games a positive benefit of football.
Craig Miller, manager of Buffalo Wild Wings, said an NFL lockout would not only hurt his business, but other Lawrence companies as well. Miller said patrons can watch any game that is on at Buffalo Wild Wings, and because of that the restaurant usually fills up by 11:30 a.m.
Adam Kennedy, manager at Ray's Liquor Warehouse, said he notices a small increase on NFL Sundays, but said he thinks the effects of a lockout would be minimal.
"Obviously it's (football) a pull to bring people in," Prososki said. "We consider ourselves a sports bar."

KU research funding may decrease
BY CHRISTINE CURTIN ccurtin@kansan.com
ccurtin@kansan.com
The University is one of the 50 highest-ranked public research universities in the country. But with the U.S. House of Representatives' approval of H.R.1, research funding will take a hit, and those cuts could hit close to home.
could fit close to his head. The federal budget deficit is skyrocketting, and government officials are making changes to ensure the country doesn't fall even deeper into a black hole of spending. H.R. 1 is a bill that lists the federal government's funding for 2011.
Kevin Boatright, director of communications for the University's Office of Research and Graduate Studies, said the
discretionary portions of the budget which include science and research are oftentimes what take the most hits when budget difficulties happen.
"There is support for increasing research but we're in a budget environment where something has to go." Boatright said. "Unfortunately, that's an easy place to cut, even if it will have negative effects somewhere down the road."
While the cuts may affect the U.S.'s stance as a leading science and research developer, they also may impact researchers here on campus.
"KU has perfectly good people and great facilities, it's just tougher and tougher to obtain grant funding because competition is increasing. More people need the grants and the federal government's support for that has been relatively flat," Boatright said.
Not only is the federal funding important to research, but it's also important to the overall education of university students, as well.
"Federal research grants not only provide the funding for test tubes, lab equipment, or chemicals, but they provide the financial support for graduate students to continue their education as well as learning critical research skills in labs," Keith Yehle, director of federal relations for the University, said.
Boatright also said that a lot of the University's grant funding winds up as salaries for researchers or pays for research equipment.
ment. President Obama has been pushing for an increase in research
budgets, even highlighting innovation in his State of the Union address earlier this year. However Senate Democrats are proposing research cuts as well, just in lesser amounts.
With debates rising over the cuts and decreased funding imminent, an uncertainty is rising about what faculty and student can expect in terms of research money at the university.
"The funded research that comes from the federal government is the life-blood of research on this campus." Boatright said. "The prospect that that level of funding may reduce has serious repercussions for the future of our country and quality of our universities."

Sheen dismissed from CBS show
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — CBS is down to one and a half men.
The move to fire Sheen follows several weeks of highly public battling by the actor against CBS, Warner Bros. and "Two and a Half Men" co-creator Chuck Lorre.
Charlie Sheen, star of the network's hit show "Two and a Half Men", was thrown off the show Monday by Warner Bros., the studio that produces the situation comedy.
In a letter to Sheen's lawyer outlining its reasons for his dismissal, Warner Bros. charged that the actor's "erratic behavior" undermined production and said his tabloid lifestyle — which has included brushes with the law, accusations of violence toward women including two of his former wives and hospital trips — has put him in breach of his contract.
"There is ample evidence supporting Warner Bros. reasonable good faith opinion that Mr. Sheen has committed felony offenses involving moral turpitude...that have interfered with his ability to fully and completely render all material services required" under his contract, noted the letter.
his contract.
Sheen's "self-destructive conduct resulted in his hospitalization, his inability to work at all for a period and the rapid erosion of the cooperative and creative process necessary to produce the show," lawyers representing the studio said in its letter to Sheen's lawyer, Martin Singer. The letter goes on to say that Sheen's admitted drug use and "furishing of cocaine" to others puts him in violation of his contract.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY

A. 34-33 in favor of Kansas. Today's game against Colorado will be the first time in history that Kansas plays Colorado in the Big 12 Tournament.
Punctuation and sportscasting
Kansas Athletics
MORNING BREW
Most sportscasters are as gram-
matically incoherent as third
graders after a bloody recess.
graders after a bloody recess. So isn't it odd that they routinely mesh punctuation into seemingly every game they cover?
“[Insert any climactic moment of a game here] really puts the exclamation point on this game,” they say.
The asterisk ( * )
When Manny Ramirez belts a baseball, he sometimes just stands there with his hands up. Other times, he does nothing at all, perhaps forgetting what he's supposed to do next. Most big-leaguers, you know, run after hitting the ball, but not Manny. The immobility is seen by most as laziness and the result of a blown-up ego. An asterisk looks like a star, which is what Manny thinks he is after every whack (or every second of the day). Joe Buck or any another MLB announcer that makes me want to bang my head against a wall might say,
If these sportscasters feel so sure of their grammatical abilities, how would other punctuation marks play a role in this debris-ridden, worn down and poorly located arena?

BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
"And there's asterisk Manny, dreaming on himself and forgetting to run once more."
The guillemets (*o*)
These things that you may have never heard of are essentially the French equivalent of quotation marks. Jeff Van Gundy, a former coach and current ESPN commentator for the NBA, is always talking about his own goofiness. On the contrary, Frenchman and San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker emanates cool. As Parker speeds down the court, Van Gundy might chirp "Look out Lakers, Brits and unsuspecting beautiful women, the guillemet is coming!"
The colon ( : )
THE
MORNING
BREW
Grammatically, the colon functions as an equals sign. After an air-balled three, Marv Albert could say, "Brian Scalabrine is the colon of white skin, red hair and professional basketball." Allow me to enlighten you on the man they call "Scal"
Brian Scalabrine possesses a rare blend of reddish physical features, cheerleader-like pep, NBA roster-worthiness (somehow) and abhorrent basketball skills. A message to the sportscasters of the world: I dare you to breach from the cliché of the exclamation point. Use these examples, or perhaps some of your own. The ampersand. The ellipsis. The solidus. But no matter your choice, speak judiciously and justly. You may discover, clichés aside, that there is only one true way to describe a man like Brian Scalabrine.

HIGH HOPES
Kansas faces uphill battle
Women's basketball hopes to bounce back from its two losses as it enters the Big 12 Tournament today against Colorado
BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com
The Jayhawks are optimistic despite losing their last two games of the regular season. Kansas is eligible for the WNIT but is still striving for an NCAA appearance, which would require winning the tournament.
Amid offensive struggles from Kansas' traditional leaders,
freshman guard Diara Moore and senior guard Marisha Brown stepped up with big plays to keep Kansas in competition on Saturday against Kansas State.
In just over one minute's
time, Kansas' guards made three layups to close the margin and tied the game midway through the second half.

"I'm just disappointed because we had a chance," Henrickson said.
"We dug ourselves in a hole here,but we are trying to get 20 wins,and I think we can."
"All of that is to the rim by guys who are on the floor for their defensive presence but have the presence about to go to the rim and score," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The loss left the Jayhawks with a 19-10 record overall and dropped them to 6-10 in conference play. Kansas is set to face Colorado at 11 a.m. today in the first round of the Women's Big 12 Tournament.
This will be the third game between the Jayhawks and the
Kansas had 20 points scored by the bench players when the starters had difficulty producing.
In the end, missed layups, free throw struggles, foul trouble and costly turnovers led to a 56-51 Kansas loss to its in-state rival.

Buffalooes this season. Kansas won its first two meetings by significant margins.
"I think it will give us a little bit of confidence knowing
we have played them before and played them well," senior center Krysten Boogaard said.
Krystal Doege Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis is keeping the goal simpler by focusing on the next game and the benefits that will bring.
"We dug ourselves in a hole here, but we are trying to get to 20 wins, and I think we can," Davis said.
Davis said that the |ayhawks win today, they will face Baylor at 11 a.m. on Wednesday.

COMMENTARY
Weight distributed evenly for Jayhawks
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Kansas men's basketball doesn't have a shallow group of guys.It's the only team in the nation that can say that with confidence.
1
confidence Some of the other top teams in the country have something going for them, too.
them, too.
Ohio State has the body of work this year: balance, speed, athleticism and the youth mesh with the veterans. Duke has the experience of having been to the championship last year with most of the same pieces.
Pittsburgh is big and it won the best league in the country in the Big East.
But imagine what would happen if you took Jared Sullinger off of the Buckeyes. Look what the absence of Kyrie Irving has done to the Blue Devils. How long do you think the Panthers could survive without Ashton Gibbs or Brad Wanamaker?
If the jayhawks are going to make a statement in the postseason, they will do so because of their immense depth, which is their best strength.
If you were on the opposing team and you could take one player off of the Jayhawks before you played them, who would it be?
them, who will ask.
If you say Marcus Morris, your team is probably still doomed. If you said Markieff Morris, you've still got the other one to deal with. And if one of them is gone, sophomore Thomas Robinson is coming into the starting lineup. With the way he's been playing with shorter minutes coming back from injury, you do not want to have to deal with that.
It was a tough question for senior guard Brady Morningstar, too. In order for the lajhawks to lose a guy and it to have a negative effect on them, you have to break the rules of the question.
lose a guy, those two would have The chances of that happening are slim.
the question,
"I count one guy as Markieff and Marculs." Morningstar said. "If we lose a guy, those two would hurt us."
Two particular Jayhawks - ones that make significant contributions - have missed two or more games this season, and you wouldn't even notice. Take a look at the season stats for Kansas out of 31 games:
Rebounds per game: 38.4 (24th in the nation)
Field goal percentage: 51.8 percent (first in the nation)
Points per game: 82.7 (fifth in the nation)
Assists per game: 18.2 (first in the nation)
Here are the stats of the two games without Player One:
FG%: 55 percent
PPG:87
RPG:35
APG:17
Now here are five games without Player Two:
FG%: 51.3 percent
PPG: 86.8
RPG:35.6
APG: 21.8
There is no significant drop-off in any category, which is amazing. As you may have guessed, Player One is junior guard Tyshawn Taylor and Player Two is Robinson.
Keep in mind that in the midst of Robinsonson absence from knee surgery, Kansas had its worst statistical game of the season. And even with that negative outlier, the averages still look amazing.

CULTURAL CROSSROADS
Ending fear between estranged nations
BY STEPHANIE SCHULTZ
SSCHULTZ@KANSAN.COM
The moment Goran Sabah Ghafour stepped off the plane in America, ideas were already filling his head. He immediately began to observe, interact and question people with the intent to write a book to try to break stereotypes between Middle Eastern and American people.
"The Kurdistan region really needs faculty, especially in the field of media," Ghafour said. "Media in that part of Iraq is really kind of unprofessional."
Ghafour, a graduate student from Kurdistan, Iraq, came to America to study international standards of media with plans of returning to Kurdistan after graduation to teach others what he learned.
While living in America, Ghafour wrote a book titled "Iraiqi Fulbrighter: Removing Fear and Hatred Between American and Middle Eastern People," which aimed to correct wrong stereotypes about Middle Eastern and American people. Ghafour's 21-chapter book uses true stories
to try to tell Middle Eastern and American people how to understand each other, approach each other, live together and accept tolerance.
"Middle Eastern people think that in American culture they don't have the idea of marriage, or the idea of marriage has faded away," Ghafour said. "And for Americans, they think that Middle Eastern people may have a connection with terrorists."
Geri Lamer, program coordinator at the Applied English Center, likes hearing Ghafour's stories.
"The stories he tells and the things that he sees that I don't are just very interesting," she said. "He just has a way of seeing things and being interested in everything and everywhere and in everyone."
The book was finished in about five months, but dealing with such a complicated subject made the book difficult to finish so quickly. Ghafour said.
Aaron Huterer, program assistant at the Applied English Center, was impressed with Ghafour's drive
"It it just shows how motivated he was just to get this down and to show it to people who could read it," Huerter said.
to finish the book in such a short amount of time.
The book is available on www.publishamerica.net and will be available in the KU bookstore soon, Ghafour said. There will also be a book signing in the KU Bookstore in the Kansas Union on April 7.

Health strategies help sustain a disease-free day care
BY JAY INGBER
JINGBER@KANSAN.COM
Students and staff at KU's Edna A. Hill Child Development Center (CDC) are using disease prevention strategies to help teach more than 60 children enrolled in the program ways to sustain a healthy lifestyle that's free of disease. Last month, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department confirmed seven cases of pertussis, also known as whooping cough, in children from Lawrence day care facilities.
According to Ashley Kingsley, program coordinator, the CDC has not reported any cases of the disease yet this year.
"Because we require proper health forms from all of our teachers and immunizations for our children, it's not really something that has come up." Kingsley said.
Pertussis is a contagious, bacterial, respiratory disease that's spread by coughing or sneezing in close contact with others. While immunization is enforced by the state of Kansas and the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, Kingsley is confident that CDC staff will make smart and mindful decisions when working with children.
"I think it comes down to using good judgment and recognizing what the safety and health standards are and making sure to always follow those," Kingsley said.
Jen Berman, a junior from Dallas, works with toddlers at the Hilltop Child Development Center, another child care facility on the KU campus. According to its website, Hilltop provides students interested in working with children the opportunity to

Applications for 2011 summer study abroad programs are up
More students seeking study overseas
Last year saw a small drop in the overall number of students who participated in summer study abroad programs, possibly because of the recession. The Office of Study Abroad reports that applications this year surpass the numbers of students who studied abroad in summer 2009, suggesting that more students will go on programs this summer than last. However, the OSA also noted that this number will go up and down as students send in late applications and others drop out of programs. The exact number won't be available until the end of summer.

The rain sprinkles the steps of the Natural History Museum Tuesday morning. The museum will be adding a new exhibit on the sixth floor soon.
Bren Stewart, a sophomore from Hutchinson, looks at a pond scum exhibit at the Natural History Museum Tuesday morning. Stewart had never been inside the museum and had time in between classes, so he decided to explore the exhibits. The museum is currently in the process of adding new exhibits on the sixth floor.

Visitors to the Natural History Museum located in Dyche Hall will not be able to see the sixth floor for about a year, as it is closed for renovations to prepare for the addition of several new exhibits.
The renovations include creating more exhibit space by raising ceilings and pushing existing exhibit walls backwards. The museum, which is run by the University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute, plans to add four new exhibits to the sixth floor: One displaying skulls of different mammals, one showing the information of how the Biodiversity Institute conducts its research, one displaying cleared and stained specimens and another displaying the biodiversity of plant and animal life around the world.
According to the Biodiversity Institute's website, clearing and staining is the process of using a digestive enzyme called Trypsin to turn specimens translucent. Scientists then use red dye to designate bone or hard tissue in the specimen and use blue dye for soft tissue. This allows scientists to study the skeletal and skin structures of animals.
All of the specimens and artifacts that will be put on display are currently part of the Biodiversity Institute's collection, which includes
more than 8 million different specimens, as well as approximately 2.2 million artifacts. Jen Humphrey, communications officer for the Biodiversity Institute, said it likes to use its reserve specimens for display when possible.
Benjamin and Margaret Hall donated $100,000 for the renovations and new exhibits in honor of Benjamin's father, the late E. Baynard Hall, a former director of the museum who studied mammals at the University Humphrey said the Halls asked that their donation be used to create an exhibit for mammals in honor of his father. She said the rest of the costs needed for renovations
were being covered by other private donors.
Humphrey said she was excited for the teaching opportunities the exhibits could provide.
"Any time we can offer something new to the public and allow them to see animals and plants in a new light is a fantastic opportunity," she said.
Matthew Gonzales, a senior from Topeka, works in the lobby of the museum and said he has been surprised with how far some people travel to see the museum. He said one time a lady came all the way
"We're one of the front doors to the University," Humphrey said. "We're one of the first places the public visits when they come to see the school."
The new additions will enhance only the sixth floor, which Humphrey says is already one of the most popular floors in the museum. Also displayed on the sixth floor is the Biodiversity Institute's collection of snakes and bees.

Winning helps testosterone levels for male wrestlers KU professor Andrew Fry studied wrestlers from Penn State and found successful performances hinge on high testosterone
BY KATASHA KUMAR kkumar@kansan.com
Andrew Fry, professor and chairman of health, sport and exercise sciences, conducted research on Penn State's wrestling team, among others, looking for a correlation between the success level of wrestlers and their testosterone levels. He found that wrestlers who won matches had significantly higher testosterone levels than those who lost.
Wrestling teams can use these findings to strategically set their tournament schedules.
Additionally, the research team proved that having higher levels throughout the season positively affected the wrestlers mentally and built up their esteem.
As if a victorious wrestler isn't intimidating enough in himself, recent studies show that he may have an extra boost of testosterone driving him in the ring.
"The scheduling and how you arrange it could be very important," Fry said.
Fry said that the scheduling
of meets should be arranged so that the squad does not face the tougher teams at the start. He said
that it was better to challenge tougher teams later in the season because the athletes' confidence is potentially already built up from defeating easier opponents early on.
While conducting the research, Fry

Line and block allocations occur every two years and address larger entities that are funded through Senate. The student fee review subcommittee also made recommendations on all student fees.
Student Senate Notebook
Multiple bills went through the committee quickly because all of the buzz and controversy surrounded line and block allocations and fee review.
Student Senate Finance Committee met last night in what was deemed as one of the "most important meetings of the semester."
Finance committee originally discussed removing certain social services from block funding because it said those services were not considered an "activity" and it should not fund them.
Senate treasurer David Cohen, a senior from Leawood, presented legislation to allocate $612,678 from the student activity fee for the block budget.
Committee passed the bill allocating $106,088 for the line budget. Services funded under line-items range from alternative breaks funding to student organizations and groups.
An amendment was made to the bill to strike the rules that would deny funding for the Douglas County AIDS Project, Gadugi Safe Center and Headquarters Counseling Center. Those services will receive funding for one more year, while the Willow Domestic Violence Center will not.
Line allocations for the fiscal year 2012 passed with much less controversy than block funding.
The campus fee review subcommittee suggested an increase in 17 areas within student fees. However, committee chair Mark Pacey said the fee increases were offset by a significant amount of decreases that would ultimately result in a 0 percent increase from the current total of $428.95 per student.

Phil Collins quits music
clear the air.
LOS ANGELES - Phil Collins fully intends to quit music - just not for the reasons people may think.
After a barrage of headlines reporting his motivations for quitting — some said it was the result of bad reviews, feeling unloved by fans and poor treatment by the press — the British singer, drummer and actor took to his official website to
Writing that he felt the media were painting "a picture of me that is more than a little distorted," the 60-year-old said he was most confused that his retirement was such a major story, since he hadn't "spoken to anybody in the press for a few months."
Collins broke down his reasons for walking away from his more than four-decade career, which includes multiplatinum success both as a solo
artist and with Genesis, Grammy awards and an Academy Award for his music in the film "Tarzan."
"I'm not stopping because of dodgy reviews or bad treatment in the press. I'm not stopping because I don't feel loved; I know I still have a very large fan base that loves what I do. Thank you" he listed in his letter.
Whether or not Collins ever sets foot onstage again is to be determined.

PASADENA, Calif. — Reports of his death were grossly exaggerated, as Pee-Wee Herman has risen again. It just goes to prove you can't keep a good man-child down.

suit, red bowtie and short-cropped hair has been resurrected on Broadway and is now a special on HBO, "The Pee-Wee Herman Show on Broadway," premiering March 19.
When Herman, whose real name is Paul Reubens, was arrested for indecent exposure 20 years ago, the
The 58-year-old always longed to be an actor. "It was just something I wanted to do from the time I can remember from being 3, 4, 5 years old. I watched a lot of television and was really envious of Ron Howard ("Mayberry, RFD") and Kevin Corcoran ("Old Yeller"), and I just couldn't wait to get to Hollywood," he says.
media sounded the death knell for the character who was born when Reubens joined the improv group the Groundlings. That wiggly, whimsical creature went on to star on the kid's TV series, "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" and in several movies, which followed the romps of the waiflike comic.
Reubens says he's not sure why Pee-Wee is suddenly in favor again. "I really don't know. I mean, certain things, they just come back. It's cyclical, you know. If you wait long enough, these suits come back and this tie comes back, and I think that's what's happened. You know, I just waited long enough. And now, all the people seem to like it again."
Reubens says he had no idea his eccentric character would last. "If anyone would have told me I'd be doing this 30 years later, I would have laughed. But now, you know, now I plan on doing it 30 years from now, when I'm 140."

Stop Phelps' rhetoric; start ignoring his message
Take a shower; your attitude stinks.
Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church – known across the nation for its antihomosexual rhetoric – has once again found the national spotlight after the Supreme Court voted 8-1 to protect its right to protest at military funerals.
Applying for the Charlie Sheen social media internship was the most productive thing I did all month.
Save water; shower with a friend!
While this result has sparked debate regarding the ethics of free speech, it has also brought national attention to the Phelps family and its hateful messages.
Little can be accomplished in publicly criticizing the church and its message. Kansans must realize that attempting to denounce the Phelps family only works to bring attention to the family and its rhetoric.
While angrily criticizing the Westboro Baptist Church is a natural step for most concerned and offended citizens, all of the negative emotions it provokes within us subsequently give
By design, the public behavior displayed by the Phelps family seeks to draw local and national attention. For this, the Phelpes have achieved tremendous success.

of anger and hate, and responding to it with such emotions only gives it the attention it seeks.
Their hateful words alone are not what brings them such fame; rather, it is the angry responses of offended citizens that put the Westboro Baptist Church in the headlines time and time again. While many well-meaning people may attempt to publicly condemn the church in an effort to silence its rhetoric, these efforts only make it clear to the Phelps family that its actions are making an impact and are thus, in minds of its members, justified.
If Kansans want the members of the church to be silenced, then they must first cease acknowledging their
The Supreme Court has decided that the Phelps family has a right to its hateful speech, but it is important to remember that we also have a right to not listen.
If the citizens of Kansas wish for the Westboro Baptist Church to stop bringing shame and disrespect to their state, then they should stop acknowledging the hateful language of its members.

efforts to gain attention. Language can be powerful if it is skillfully used, and it can be destructive when used for malevolent and bigoted purposes.
But words only have power if other people listen to them; the absence of an audience drains language of all its power, no matter how loud and vicious it is in nature.
Much akin to the mannerisms of a screaming child in the throes of a tantrum, the Phelps family desires our attention and has obtained it through clamorous and obnoxious behavior that is difficult to ignore.
Those who have been hurt and ridiculed by the church are rightfully justified in their moral outrage and their desire to silence the church's hateful message, but confrontation only fuels the flames of hatred. The Phelps family works to provoke an endless cycle
ECONOMY
Corporate tax avoidance one cause of shortfalls
How much money do you have in your wallet?
No matter how much - or how little - it's more than General Electric, ExxonMobil, Citibank and the Bank of America pay in taxes, according to Carl Gibson, founder of US Uncut.
Cutting services to vulnerable groups in the name of deficit reduction is both immoral and inefficient. There are other options for solving the budget and economy crises we're in, and I want to look into one of the big ones - corporate tax avoidance.
The Government Accountability Office, "an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress," said that nearly two-thirds of U.S. companies pay no federal taxes. They make enormous sums of money within the U.S. and give back nothing to the federal government. This results in hundreds of billions of dollars in lost revenue.
Yuichi Sugawa
How do they do this? The answers are complicated. Sometimes corporations will say one individual made a profit but it wasn't related to the company, or they'll keep their money offshore, or they will keep an office in another country and declare themselves to be a multinational corporation, or they manipulate their numbers in other ways to make it look as if there was no profit.
Even if we weren't facing these difficult economic times, corporate tax avoidances would still be ethically wrong. Corporations have the privilege of selling here, making profits and writing off employee health insurance, and they are able to donate to political campaigns.
The government even balled out some of these companies.
As Johann Hari of UK Uncut said, they also enjoy the same basic benefits of regular taxpayers; streets, police and garbage collection. Except for taxpayers, these aren't really benefits. Taxpayers work and pay for these services.
BY ALI FREE afree@kansan.com
Corporations don't pay for any of it.
This is not fair. There are billions of dollars in uncollected taxes, and that has consequences.
The American people deserve to keep our poison control centers and maternal health grants. People deserve arts programs and PBS. People deserve schools that are open. People deserve the security of their food stamps and Medicaid and unemployment insurance, especially in these tough times. We deserve to do what we can for ourselves and know that the government will do what we can't alone.
Though Congress and Obama want to cut funding for social services, the public doesn't. This is because the public uses these programs. Indeed, polls such as the one from "60 Minutes" and Vanity Fair show that the most popular solution to the economy was to increase taxes on the rich, which can be translated into corporations.
If Congress and the White House really want to save the economy, ensure fairness and give the public what they are owed, they will listen to their constituents and focus on the missing cash from the federal budget that should already be there. Then they can see how big of a budget shortfall exists.
It's ludicrous that defending public health programs is the first solution that occurs to our politicians.

In an interview with USA Today, Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz was asked to describe his company 40 years from now. He said, "In 40 years, the core of our mission will still be about achieving that fragile balance between profitability and social conscience. Without the latter, the former is unsustainable."
Green-washing marks good start for companies
In so many ways and a thousand times a day, media are telling us what to value, and increasingly that message has been centered on social and environmental responsibility. It's true that in some cases companies are green-washing. They are making environmental claims that aren't completely accurate.
In the grand scheme of things, is this really a horrible message to send?
However, it could be argued that these messages are still beneficial, that this new focus on respecting our natural resources and recognizing our place in a global citizenship is changing the way that we think about our world.
While this may be a valid critique, the fact is that Nooyi had approximately 15 minutes to make an impression on millions of TED viewers around the world, and she chose to speak about Pepsi's commitment to positive social change.
Last week, Indra Nooyi, chairwoman and CEO of PepsiCo, spoke at the TED Conference. Nooyi used her time on the TED stage to tour her company's Performance with Purpose and Pepsi Refresh programs. These programs are designed to highlight Pepsi's commitment to environmental stewardship and support for non-profit organizations. Nooyi's talk has been criticized for highlighting the $20 million Pepsi donated to local non-profit and community organizations but failing to address major issues like water scarcity and plastic waste pollution.

These statements about what we should be valuing as individuals and as a community are gradually creating a new set of standards for health, safety and environmental issues.
While some messages may be misguided or exaggerated, the priorities they communicate are sinking into our psyche and changing the way we value life. This revolution of thought and values is slow but every commercial, magazine, ad and newspaper article that promotes values of equality, respect, compassion and responsibility makes a tiny impression.
more committed our corporations are to expressing value for real people and our planet, the more our collective mindset shifts.
Our values are shifting and although their execution may not be perfect, corporate messages of responsibility are helping to transform our society.
While transparency is necessary for a truly sustainable marketplace and legitimate efforts must be made to affect real change, this initial priority shift is a necessary first step
Consumers who value social and environmental accountability will expose the green-washers. A society that values human rights over the latest fashion will determine responsible supply chains and educated moms who demand safe toys will influence industry production methods.

When the Kansas women's basketball team saw its 13-point lead in the first half shrink to three, it did something unusual. Instead of relying on sophomore forward Carolyn Davis to bring it back, they jayhawks spread the ball around. In the end, their balanced attack led to a 71-45 victory over Colorado on Tuesday in the first round of the Big 12 tournament.
Sophomore guard Monica Engelman led the team with 17 points, but the players found its spark on the bench. Freshman guard Keena Mays hit a key three-point shot to put the Jayhawks up by six, with 16 minutes left in the game. The Jayhawks never looked back, going on a 21-4 run over the next nine minutes.
"I just knew I had to come out and do whatwe I could, coming
off the bench and help contribute to
the team." Mays said.
Mays did everything on the court, finishing the day with nine points, seven boards, four assists and one steal.
Junior forward Aishah Sutherland

The Jayhawks were forced to find other scoring options when Davis got into foul trouble in the second half.
We "gotta be prepared for situations like that. With Carolyn out, you have to find different ways," Engelman said.

"I thought offensively we had
good rhythm, moved the ball around a little, but shared the ball," Henrickson said.
Even with her time limited because of fouls, Davis still managed 16 points and 11 rebounds in the game for her seventh doubledouble of the season. Davis was especially active on the offensive, grabbing five of her rebounds off them.
With Davis limited, senior forward Kristen Boogaard stepped in from the bench and added two assists and one steal for the team.
"When you play in a tournament like this, in the format where it's one after another and another, you need some kids off the bench who are going to be able to contribute, not just rest guys." Henrickson said. "And those two did great."

COMMENTARY
Nothing to lose this weekend
Hans didn't need any more proof of the hypocrisy filling the offices of 700 W. Washington St. in Indianapolis, but they got more anyway. That's the headquarters of the NCAA, by the way, and the hypocrisy is the post-season conference basketball tournaments.
tournaments
The Big 12 regular season was 16 games and lasted nearly 12 months. The best team was crowned champion, and now what? We have another three or four games to decide a 'conference tournament champion.' Name another sport — at any level — that finishes a regular season with a conference or division tournament before the actual playoffs start. You can't, because it doesn't happen.

word for it.
And he was right.
"Conference tournaments," North Carolina coach Roy Williams once said, "are nothing more than a big cocktail party for the alumni."
And he was right. A conference tournament championship is more prestigious than a Tuesday afternoon scrimmage win but well behind a regular season conference title. It's somewhere in the middle of those two.
Unless, of course, your team is on the bubble and needs to win the conference tournament to clinch
an NCAA tournament berth. That's just another case of the NCAA adding significance to an otherwise insignificant event in an attempt to legitimize it.
Also, if you're reading this, you probably a Kansas basketball fan. And there's a great chance you don't remember Kansas ever missing the big dance, so you've never needed the Jayhawks to win the conference tournament to avoid the NIT.
While Texas Tech, Iowa State, and Oklahoma are battling for the conference tournament championship and the automatic NCAA bid this week, just know that Kansas' fate is all but sealed before the party starts on Wednesday. So take your old coach's advice and enjoy a cocktail, because a No. 1 seed is all but locked up already.

UConn clinches Big East
HARTFORD, Conn. — Stefanie Dolson scored 24 points and Maya Moore added 22 to help No.1 Connecticut win its fourth straight Big East tournament championship with a 73-64 victory over 10th-ranked Notre Dame on Tuesday night.
WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL
UConn (32-1) has won 20 straight games since losing to Stanford on Dec. 30 to snap the Huskies' record 90-game winning streak. It was the 21st time in the past 23 seasons that they were in the championship game.
While UConn has been a frequent visitor to the tournament title game, Notre Dame was making its first trip to the championship since 2001 when the Irish lost to UConn on a buzzer-beater by Sue Bird.
The Huskies have won 17 Big East championships overall.
The Irish still have yet to win a
championship in five attempts.
Natalie Novosel scored 17 points to lead Notre Dame (26-7).
Leading 41-40 early in the second half, UConn went on an 11-0 run to break open a close game.
Moore, who earned tournament MVP honors for the second time in her stellar career, had three points and two assists during the burst. She also had a huge block on Skylar Diggins' drive that led to an easy layup on the other end by Bria Hartley.
Moore followed that with a 3-pointer from the corner with 12:44 left to cap the spurt and tie her with Penn State great Kelly Mazzante for ninth place on the career NCAA scoring list with 2,919 points.
2,915 points
Notre Dame didn't go away, going on a 15-6 spurt to close to 58-55 with 5:07 left. Novosel, who had left the game at the end of UConn's spurt, returned a few minutes later and scored the final
seven points of the Irish burst.
The Irish couldn't get within five the rest of the game.
seven points of Moore wouldn't let Notre Dame get any closer, hitting a jumper from the corner to move past Mazzante. Dolson followed with a layup to restore the seven-point lead. The 6-foot-5 freshman center matched her career-high set two days earlier against Georgetown.
five the rest of the game.
Moore became only the second two-time MVP of the tournament, joining former UConn great Kara Wolters (1995 and 1996). Moore also won the award as a sophomore. She became just the second player in conference history to win both the regular season and postseason MVP awards in the same year. Shelly Pennefather of Villanova was the only other player to do it.
It was the Huskies' 81st consecutive victory at home and 69th straight conference win.

Let's adopt the Ivy League's way
MORNING BREW
Thirty-one conferences receive automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament. Thirty of those conferences have
Thirty of those conferences have season-ending tournaments to decide which school receives the bid. The lone conference that doesn't have a tournament: The Ivy League.
Jesse Newell of the Lawrence Journal-World said the Ivy League, as good as its academics are, was smart enough to not have a conference tournament. And he's right. It is the only conference that makes sure the conference season is important.
As of 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, eight automatic bids have been finalized. Of those eight teams, only one, Belmont, won the conference regular season and the postseason tournament. The spread of the other seven is four two-seeds, two three-seeds and a four-seed.
For the larger conferences, this isn't a big deal because the top seed will most likely receive an at-large bid. But for the mid-major conferences like the Missouri Valley Conference, that league will most likely only receive one bid. This season, Indiana State won the MVC tournament on Sunday and looks to be the only school from the conference going to the Big Dance. This is coming

after it finished third in the league and then knocked off Missouri State, which finished first in the league, in the finals and Wichita State, which finished second, in the semifinals.
For Missouri State, it looked like it was going to the NCAA tournament until Sunday's loss. Now it looks like it will be heading to the NIT. For Indiana State, it had no chance of making the NCAA Tournament or the NIT, but somehow managed to put it together for three straight games.
If not all conferences, then most, need to conform to the lvy League. There is a reason six of the eight schools are in U.S. News' Top 10 for best universities in academics; all eight are in the Top 15. No other conference can say
that 100 percent of its schools are that smart.
THE
MORNING
BREW
People want to complain about the BCS and how it should go to a playoff system, but that just places more focus on the end-of-season tournament instead of the regular season. There is a reason that one loss in college football might mean the end of championship hopes, because every game is important. That is the way it should work in college basketball, where every conference game means something.

Former Kansas point guard Sherron Collins lost a chance to return to the Charlotte Bobcats when he missed two flights scheduled by the organization that were meant to bring him back to the team from his home of Chicago.
Collins misses out on return to NBA
Collins
A
Collins returned home to Chicago after being waived by the Bobcats on Feb. 24 to clear space for
trade deadline acquisitions, Collins had been serving as the third point guard behind D.J. Augustin and Shaun Livingston for Charlotte, averaging 3.3 minutes and just shy of one point per game.
Charlotte coach Paul Silas told the Associated Press that the Bobcats planned to bring Collins back to the team, but withdrew the offer after he missed the flights.
Charlotte signed NBDL player Garret Temple to a 10-day contract to fill the spot.
"That was kind of it," Silas said.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
NCAA gets a dose of Charles Barkley
"I'm going to talk about the games, but when I met with the NCAA, I said, 'At some point we are going to have to talk about graduation rates on these damn games,' he said.
"We can't go three weeks just talking about basketball and everybody gets paid and we have a bunch of dummies running around out there."
Barkley held court for more than 30 minutes, offering quotable variations on his theme:
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
That colleges do a disservice to athletes by not taking their education more seriously, and that one-year-and-done players weaken both the NCAA and NBA.
"One of the reasons I took this job was there are some things I want to say," Barkley said. "I don't have to do this job, OK?"
Charles Barkley has been lobing verbal grenades for more than a decade as an NBA studio analyst for TNT, making him one of the most colorful, controversial figures in sports television.
Now it's the college game's turn.
Appearing at a CBS/Turner breakfast to discuss the new-look NCAA Tournament on Tuesday, Barkley promised to cover more than just brackets and buzzer-beaters next week.
"We just gave these damn people 11 billion dollars. They're not paying the players. I'm not going to go on a rant about where the money goes, but they have an obligation to graduate these players."
Barkley said he is especially concerned about the effects on black students with unrealistic expectations of pro success.
"Not to make it racial, but it has a really negative effect on the black community, because the majority of these players are black," he said.
"They're not going to make it in the NBA. They're not getting educated. Then we expect them to raise their families uneducated."
"We have to reach a happy medium. We need to help college basketball. They need to help us. But right now, everybody is just being a pig."
"The problem is we're all pigs. College is just trying to get theirs. The NBA is trying to get theirs. The agents are trying to get theirs. Everybody is just concerned about their thing.
Barkley said having star collegians leave before they are physically mature also hurts the NBA, where bad teams should benefit more than they do from infusions of young talent.
So, as usual, the floor is yours, Sir Charles:

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
HOLLAND, Mich. — There might have been more laughs than tears at the funeral of Wes Leonard, a 16-year-old basketball star from Fennville.
And that seems fitting. Because Wes was a fun-loving kid who made everybody smile and laugh.
Leonard, 16, died Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest because of an enlarged heart. He collapsed after making the winning basket to save a perfect season for the Fennville basketball team.
More than 1,500 attended the funeral Tuesday morning at Christ Memorial Church in Holland. Many wore black and orange, the school colors.
Players from the Fennville basketball team entered the church walking side by side, the same way they entered DeVos Fieldhouse on Monday night before a Class C district game against Lawrence. The funeral started less than 15 hours after Fennville's emotional victory
over Lawrence in the first round of the state tournament at Hope
The service was organized like a football game, with four quarters, a halftime video tribute and a final victory.
College. It was Fennville's first game without Wes.
Before the service, a photo tribute showed a teenager living life to the fullest: with his parents, his brother, his friends and his teammates.

TOURNEY WATCH
The Cornhuskers were far more frustrating in the season than the Cowboys, so you know who the Jayhawks want to win. Nebraska has more to play for at this point, considering that with an upset in the second round against Kansas, it might be able to find itself on the right side of the bubble. A pair of third team All-Big 12 players makes an appearance in this one: Lance Jeter of Nebraska and Marshall Moses of Oklahoma State. Jeter will face off with diminutive Oklahoma State point guard Keiton Page in what should be the best head-to-head matchup of the game.

Colorado is firmly planted on the bubble, appearing as the first team out or the last team in the field of 68 in both Sl.com (out) and ESPN.com's (in) mock brackets. A loss to Iowa State not unthinkable, considering the Buffs lost to the Cyclones a little more than a week ago would be fatal to their tourney hopes. Whichever team advances has the unfriendly draw of Kansas State, which is hotter than any team in the conference coming into the post-season.

Baylor vastly underachieved and fell to seventh in the conference this season, while the Sooners overachieved (yes, really) and got to 10th. All that means is that there is a huge gap in the talent level on the teams, with Baylor sporting a first team All-Big 12 player in LaceDarius Dunn, the Big 12 sixth man of the year in Quincy Acy, and All-Big 12 second teamer and the league's best NBA prospect in Perry Jones Ill. Meanwhile, Cade Davis and Andrew Fitzgerald — who both garnered only honorable mention All-Big 12 — lead the Sooners. Even though Baylor is more talented, the two split the season series.

If this game were played any farther away from the Mizzou campus than Kansas City, Mo., I'd be picking against the Tigers. They've been nothing short of awful away from home, but within the friendly confines of the state, Missouri is tough to beat. Led by All-Big 12 first teamer Marcus Denmon, the Tigers have lost twice in the state this season, once to Kansas and once in the very same Sprint Center they'll play in Wednesday to then-No. 14 Georgetown in overtime. Just one Red Raider, point guard John Roberson, played his way to honorable mention all-Big 12 honors, while the Tigers boast Denmon as well as the newcomer of the year, Ricardo Ratliffe, and the defensive player of the year, Laurence Bowers.

Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas faced Colorado for a third time with the chance to send the team home before the conference shakeup next season. Kansas took that opportunity and completed the season sweep of Colorado.
A scorching shooting performance from sophomore guard Monica Engelman led the Jayhawks to a 71-45 first round victory over the Buffalooes.
Engelman led the Jayhawks with 17 points off of 7-13 shooting from the field, and 2-3 shooting from beyond the arch.
Her two three-pointers were part of a late run in the first half and the other points were spread out over her 37 minutes.
"I was a little bit of a spark player," Engelman said.

the bench, junior forward Aishah Sutherland stepped up and added six points and six rebounds.
"We have to have fewer turnovers and we have to score because she scores a lot," Sutherland said.
Sutherland said that she knew exactly what to work on when she was put in the game.
"When I got in I was focused and knew what I needed to do and I wanted to rebound and when you rebound you win." Sutherland said.
Sutherland moved up to sev
enth place in the program for blocked shots with two this game.
This victory also marked 20 wins on the season for the Jayhawks. After a disappointing end to the regular season with two losses, Kansas was hoping to reach this landmark while continuing to move forward with post season play.
Kansas will face Baylor, No.1 in the Big 12, at 11 a.m. in the second round of the Big 12 Women's Basketball Championship.
"We've got some awfully talented kids who just got hesistant and tentative," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Earlier in the season, Kansas lost to Baylor in Lawrence. The 76-37 defeat has stuck with the Jayhawks.

The conference's best free throw shooter left the first shot of a one-and-one on the front rim, giving the Nebraska Cornhuskers some small amount of life. The Huskers, trailing by one, had the ball on their half of the floor with 10 seconds to make a play.
But All-Big 12 third teamer Lance Jeter stumbled to the floor without getting a shot off, and the Cowboys and their shooter Keiton Page, by the slimnest of margins, moved on to play Kansas in the second round.
Basically, it was an emotional day for the Cowboys, who will need to rally from the drain to keep their slim chances of an NCAA Tournament berth alive.
Kansas coach Bill Self said Monday that he had no concerns about who the Jayhawks drew in their first game of the postseason, but on paper it would seem that Oklahoma State, who the Jayhawks routed by 27 two weeks ago in Allen Fieldhouse, was the better matchup for Kansas.
"Ive never gotten in the habit of hoping for something because usually what you hope for, you realize it's not the best thing for you." Self said.
It's also the first test for Marcus Morris, who has taken control as the leader of the Jayhawks, in a win-or-go-home situation. He's played in similar situations before, of course, but never as the unquestioned star.
In his first go-around as the leader, he's making sure to say all the right things.
"I have a preference on who we play in the championship game," Morris said Monday, implying that he'd like a rematch with the Longhorns.
"We won't skip over anybody," he said Monday. "We're going to take every game one game at a time and make sure we get the win."
If the Jayhawks win, they'll get a shot at either Kansas State or Colorado in the semifinals, before a potential meeting with Texas in the finals.
Self said there's no question his guys would like a shot at the only two teams that have beaten the Jayhawks, but other than that, there's little reason that the Jayhawks need a Big 12 Tournament championship.
"The postseason championship gives you some momentum going into the NCAA tournament," senior guard Brady Morningstar said. "It could give you momentum if you
play well. There is some importance of playing well as a team together and having good thoughts going into Selection Sunday and going into your first-round game."
With a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament virtually a lock, the Jayhawks won't play for much other than pride and the momentum Morningstar talked about in the Big 12 Tournament. But there are plenty of teams, starting with the Cowboys, who could use a victory against Kansas to bolster their NCAA resume.

Refuel your brain with fruits and vegetables

This is a downfall - grabbing an unhealthy snack when the brain needs to refuel on healthier options.
"One of the most important changes a student can make, is to add more fruits and vegetables," said Ann Chapman, dietician at Watkins in the Wellness Resource Center.
"We eat too much meats and too many multi-grains in America. What we need to do is shrink the portions of both and fill up more of the plate with fruits or vegetables."
"What's been found clinically is that it's not when you eat, but how many calories go in versus what you burn," Chapman said.
Portion control is another issue that plagues us — from fast food places that offer to upsize our meals for a little extra or restaurants that serve heaping plates of food. It may be cost-effective for students watching their spending, but it's not health-effective.
Eating and feeling healthy is something that pharmaceutical student Dan Freed, a sophomore from Topeka, says is definitely a choice. And a lack of education could contribute to unhealthy choices. Freed has been a personal trainer, model, gym enthusiast and a health-conscious individual for a while, and he attributes his positive attitude to wanting to feel good on the inside and outside.
"You want to look at the labels and make sure it doesn't have high fructose corn syrup. It's bad for your insulin levels," Freed said. "Look for whole grain complex carbs as the main ingredient of any nutritional bar as opposed to a candy bar or something."

DONATION
Plasma vs. whole blood donation
According to cslplasma.com, which is one of the largest human plasma collectors in the world, blood and plasma donations can sometimes be confused. Blood is extracted from the body in both types of donations. However, plasma donation does not include the harvesting of the red blood cells.
BY KELSEY RICHARDSON krichardson@kansan.com
During plasma donation only the liquid portion of blood is removed and the red blood cells are returned to the donor. Blood cannot be donated as often as plasma.
"Blood donations are strictly voluntary, and there is no payment to the donor," said Leann DeLong, donor recruiter for Community Blood Center of Kansas City, Mo.
TYPES OF DONATIONS BLOOD VS. PLASMA
Blood, or whole blood donation, is the most common type of donation.
During blood donation one pint of 'whole blood' is collected. The blood is separated into transfusable components. These components are red cells, plasma and platelets.
it takes 8-10 minutes to donate blood. The entire blood donation process takes about 1 hour.
Donors are eligible to donate 'whole blood' every 56 days.
Plasma is collected simultaneously with platelets. It is collected at select American Red Cross donation centers. During plasma donation, a machine collects the blood and separates the plasma, red cells and platelets. It then returns the red cells and/or platelets back to the donor. Plasma donation takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Donors are eligible to donate plasma up to two times a week.

City bonds to fund hydroelectric plant

The Lawrence City Commission voted last week to approve bonds to fund the Bowersock Mills and Power Company's North Shore hydroelectric plant building project.

Lawrence Vice-Mayor Aron E. Cromwell said the commission was happy to finally help put this project in motion.
"It's a huge step in the begin ning of that project for the folks
over at Bowersock." Cromwell said. "What it really amounts to is a major investment in that particular area that's not just good for long-term payouts for the company, but also good for our community."
Cromwell said the project will also improve Lawrence's image as a "green" jobs hub. He said the
new plant will do a good job of illustrating the city's sustainability and job-create efforts.
Bowersock co-owner Sarah Hill Nelson was contacted, but she declined to comment until the bonds officially closed.

A royal wedding in the making
As the date nears, the machinery that makes a British royal event look, smell and sound like nothing else is kicking into gear.
Fifty days and counting down. Behind the scenes hundreds are hard at work to make sure the April 29 royal wedding is a day to remember — not just for Prince William and Kate Middleton, but for the country.
It is also around this time that the couple will start thinking about how the service will go—and in the case of Kate and William, it may be the time it dawns on them that billions worldwide will watch them as they stand at the altar, said wedding planner Sarah Hayward.
Around the 50-day mark is quite a dangerous time for a cou
ple planning a wedding." Hayward said. "Generally it's been pretty frenetic up to that point and because it is a point at which things should be done — because it is a dotting of its and crossing of its moment — (it) means there's time to actually think about things and possibly panic."
Events on this scale are planned to the second, but many of the arrangements are carried over from one big event to another. The people behind the clipboards will have access to the plans for big events — such as Prince Andrew's 1986 wedding to Sarah, Duchess of York at the Abbey and the funeral for the Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
Nonetheless, palace staff, members of what is known here as the Royal Household, are doing things that any wedding
planner might do — though with the added task of worrying about how many seconds should pass between the carriages.
"Probably the least busy will be Kate and William themselves," said Hugo Vickers, a royal historian. "You can be quite certain there will be a mass of things going on."
Among tasks will be chasing RSVPs from anyone with the ternity not to answer right away. Based on who is coming and who isn't, that will then lead to the protocol-fraught job of making sure that reigning monarchs — like the King of Norway — get a better seat than, say, a deposed monarch, like the ex-king of Romania. Sometimes it gets tricky with politicians who, while more powerful, might not rank high enough to sit up front.

I want my boyfriend to think of my cute underwear as a bow on the gift.
Free for all
UDK, you are too flimsy to read outside in this Kansas wind. Can you start printing on cardboard?
Dear men, please continue to take out the trash, mow the lawn, pump the gas and pay for the dates. Sincerely, sure, I'll make you a sandwich.
I'm giving up Lent for drinking.
I want to go get my car and drive it illegally on campus, so that I can hit all of these people wearing shorts. In all seriousness, though, WTF are they thinking?
Dear dude in the library, just because you have your headphones in does not mean that the rest of us can't hear your music blaring from across the room. Signed, concerned citizen.
Dumb isn't a disability.
I'd rather have sex with a blow up doll than have sex with my girlfriend when she's drunk.
Mammary glands. Giggle
Mother Nature, why do you hate us so? What did we do to you to make you angry enough to snow AND rain at the same time????!
For Lent, I am giving up clothes.
Boom. Done.
I'm giving up my virginity... Call me!
There is a time and a place for everything. That time is called college.
I've got a roommate that wants to buy their own toilet tissue to "save money?" WTF? What's next? You want us to buy our own hand soap too?
You people know that Romeo and Juliet both die right after they get together right?
I hate Roy Williams like I hate Voldemort.
I set up my Twitter account to have Charlie Sheen's tweets sent to my phone. Best decision I've made all week
I just had a hamburger and it tasted really good. Does that make me a bad Catholic?
Charlie Sheen is the new Chuck Norris. . Just go with it.
Uhm, so, this hot girl just walked by. I almost gave her the nod. Then she started smacking her mouth after drinking water. WTF?
You know you are in Templin when people still refer to things as "school nights."
I was feeling kinda crabby, so I popped another addy. Now I'm feeling super great. Now my paper won't be late.
You can't be a ninja because you are getting a college education...
Journalist embodied midwest character
POLITICS
BY LUKE BRINKER
Ibrinker@kansan.com
In the six decades since economist John Kenneth Galbraith coined the phrase "the conventional wisdom," it has largely become a term of opprobrium. Its purveyors, the thinking goes, are reflexive supporters of the status quo, unimaginative in their thoughts. David Broder, the longtime Washington Post columnist who died March 9, embodied establishment in Washington. If there is such a thing as conventional wisdom, the relentlessly centrist pundit was among its most prominent articulators.
But Broder was much more than the consummate Washington insider. A proud product of the Midwest, he never forgot from whence he came. I dined with the itinerant journalist at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics
last October and spent a few moments before his lecture chatting with him about the upcoming midterms. Broder was ill, suffering from a particularly unforgiving cough. Nonetheless, he was in sharp mental form, displaying a keen interest in the political pulse of the country as he inquired about the electoral engagement of my fellow college students.
The establishmentarian canard was always unfair to Broder. While the semi-weekly columns he churned out until last month demonstrated a thoroughly moderate, Washingtonian disposition, he regularly made sojourns to such outposts as Lawrence and his native Illinois. Though 81 and in failing health, Broder showed no signs of slowing down when I saw him last fall. He told me that upon leaving Lawrence, he was headed to California to cover that state's gubernatorial and senate races. He was no armchair political observer.
One anecdote is particularly illustrative of the late journalist's character. In the pre-Internet 1976, he prematurely filed a report to the Post indicating the Morris Udall had won Wisconsin's
Democratic presidential primary. When it turned out that Jimmy Carter had emerged the victor, Broder submitted his resignation, ashamed of his journalistic error, Benjamin Bradlee, the Post's executive editor, refused to accept it, not wanting to lose a premier political reporter over one mishap. In our rapid-fire news cycle — one in which getting it first all too often seems more important than getting it right — we could use a few more David Broders, individuals committed to the old-fashioned idea that deliberateness, accuracy and integrity matter.
Brinker is a sophomore in history from Topeka.
HUMOR
I want to work for Sheen, violently
In simpler times, Charlie Sheen's headlines-dominating professional meltdown would have made him a sad, washed-up pariah. He would have been cast to the depths of celebrity hell, with only the distant possibility of a post-rehab comeback giving him the faintest bit of hope for the future.
But things are different in the age of social media. Sheen has instead become a sad, washed-up folk hero, taking the tin cans of drug abuse, possible mental illness and unemployment and turning them into a pool of gold coins that would make Scrooge McDuck jealous.
Thanks to Twitter and the viral nature of today's Internet culture, Sheen's profile is higher than ever: He reached 1 million Twitter followers in record time, drew over 100,000 viewers on his bizarre live Ustream show Saturday night and is raking in lucrative endorsement deals with companies that evidently have no qualms about their products being closely associated with crack cocaine.
mary_marie
What would have once been a flameout of historic proportions is now the birth of a social media empire.
At least, that's what Sheen hopes. To help him with his budding web presence, he is offering a

Of course, you'll have me to compete with. At first, I decided against applying for the position; I was afraid I might be overqualified. But then I thought, "Is there really such a thing as too much winning?" And then Charlie Sheen came to me in a vision and said, "No.Duh."
That is why I would like to cede the remainder of my column to my internship application. I felt the online application's 75-character limit (seriously) was not
Here are just a few reasons why I should be Charlie Sheen's intern:
*I'm a meme ma-Sheen: Catchphrases like "level 100 war-lock" and "duh, winning" have entered the popular lexicon faster than a Vatican assassin drunk on tiger blood. But Sheen can't keep coming up with these gems on his own! I can work with him to craft new memes about wrestling with rabid unicorns, giving man-birth to win-beasts and other t-shirt-worthy inanities that are sure to keep the revenue stream flowing!
*Sheen + Synergy =
SHEENERGY: I have a sixth sense for brand synergy, and I could help Sheen choose the endorsement deals that will help maintain his sterling image. Four Loko? Sounds good! Baby Bjorn? NO WAY!
*I'm a raving Sheenophant!:
I will say literally anything Charlie Sheen wants to hear! Yes, your theories on 9/11 make sense! No,
you don't sound crazy! Yeah, I hate Chuck Lofre, too! You're the best, Mr. Sheen!

The simplest thing is to talk to your roommate. Don't be a jerk about it, but ask him to do a load of dishes. If you want, you guys could set up a schedule to make it easier. Or you could do the dishes together; one of you could load and the other could unload. If he still won't help with the dishes, then I dunno. You're kind of screwed. You could retaliate by also refusing to do the dishes, but that would escalate the problem to a whole new level.
Really, the important lesson here is to make sure you room with someone compatible and figure out who will do what chores ahead of time. if you let it slide too long, it might be too late to do anything.

Lou Schumaker is a junior from Overland Park in film and media studies.
If this still doesn't work then the only recourse is to think really hard in their direction and hope that works. This involves not staring at them but lots of thinking about staring at them while the two of you are watching "The Jersey Shore." If we learned anything from Pokemon, it is that you shouldn't fight fire with fire, but instead fight fire with passive aggressive anger.
In order to really get the message across, you should write out your roommate's name using the dishes in the sink. Sometimes people choose to ignore these passive-aggressive behaviors but in a few days time, they will become moldy and much harder to ignore.
While talking to your roommate like an adult is certainly an option, it's hardly the best one. I recommend fighting this fire with passive-aggressive anger by making sure to not do even more dishes than your roommate. Every time you drink something, use a different glass. This will create more dishes than your roommate could ever dream.

Once you let the slobber pour like waterfalls, your friend will be all like, "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? YOU ARE INSANE! DID YOU SPIT IN MY MAC'S CD ROM? I AM CALLING THE POLICE!" And then when you get kicked out of your apartment for spitting all over it, the world is your dish!
So, your roommate is dirty, huh? Well, you know what they say! To put out a fire, spit on it! As in, "spit on your roommate's stuff!" Record collection? Spit on it! Bedroom window curtains? Dribble all over them drapes! XBOX 360? When you're through with it, you could call it the XBOX 3SPITSY (but that would be way too puny, and what is this? a Nick Jr. show?) Cat? Yeah, sure, because those things already spit all over themselves and hate humans!

Strong arm of the Jayhawks
Freshman pitcher Alex Cox follows through with a pitch against North Dakota on Wednesday at Hoglund Ball Park. Kansas won 5-3.
Perhaps the one thing that stands out as dependable for this Kansas baseball team (6-6) is the starting pitching staff. Through 12 games the staff combined for quality starts in all but one contest.
Sophomore Taylor Thomas (2-0) threw five and two-thirds innings against North Dakota yesterday, allowing five hits while issuing no walks and tying a career high with seven strikeouts. North Dakota's Kris Kwak hammered a hanging slider out of the park in the third inning, the only run Taylor allowed.
"He got after everyone," sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon said. "He threw a lot of strikes and had a pretty good day."
As a pitching staff, issues tend to arise in the seventh and eighth innings when trying to protect the

lead for junior closer Colton Murray to record the final outs.
Freshman Alex Cox had that duty for the first time yesterday and, despite giving up two runs, was able to hand the ball to Murray with a lead. Cox, who had been a starter, could stay in that role.
"He's a team guy." Price said. "He could be selfish and want to be a starter, and he could continue to be the midweek starter, but for us to be the best is for him to be the setup guy."
Along with senior T.J. Walz and sophomore Tanner Poppe, Cox and senior Wally Marceli continue to throw well for the Jayhawks. The four pitchers have emerged as the better arms on the staff.
"I'm really pleased with the progress that Cox has made and with Marcelel," Price said. "To me they have been the difference. Rather than just have two guys, we've got four guys throwing the ball good."
In the closer role Murray's low-90s fastball has been under control and consistent. His ability to close out games is vital as the team continues to battle late in tight ballgames.
In 12 innings he's struck out 13 batters, walked one and allowed just two runs.
Taylor's starting performance yesterday was impressive all around but the most important stat was not the strikeouts.
"He's letting his arm pitch and he's not trying to knock down the backstop," Price said. "He's throwing the ball better than he'd thrown in the three years he's been here."
"The big thing is minimize the walks," Taylor said. "The less walks we've got the less chances they are going to have."
It seems obvious, but for this Kansas team to win games, the starting pitching staff, coupled with the defense, must remain steady.
- Edited by Dave Boyd
"We've had basically good starts the entire year," Price said, "and until we get it going offensively we have to win with pitching and defense right now."

Sohomore guard Angel Goodrich goes for a lay up during the game Wednesday at the Women's Big 12 tournament. Goodrich had seven assists total.
Huge runs push Bears past stout Jayhawks
BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com
With 17:31 left in the first half, the Kansas women's basketball team took its first lead of the game, 7-5, on a layup by sophomore guard Angel Goodrich. It turned out to be its only lead of the game, as Baylor then went on a 12-0 run and never looked back.
The run was followed by another one of 14-0 later in the half that gave the Bears a 24-point lead heading into the half. The Jayhawks struggled, committing nine turnovers in the first half, which the Bears turned into 13 points.
"We talked about going in your best defense may be your offense, not turning the ball over and giving them high percentage shots," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The Bears were ignited in the first half of their 86-51 victory by the play of senior guard Melissa Jones. Jones was everywhere on the court, with nine rebounds, eight points, and six assists in the first half. Jones wore shaded glasses to protect her eyes, she damaged her right eye in a Feb. 27 game against Oklahoma and is just now beginning to see light out of it.
"She hits the first three of the game, she gets rebounds, that's the story of the game," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. "She can't see. She's gone from completely black seven days later to fuzzy black."
fuzzy back
Baylor outrebounded the Jayhawks 28-10 in the first half, and 13 of those boards came from the offensive glass. The Bears turned those offensive rebounds into 18 points in the first half.
The Jayhawks held Big 12 player of the year Brittney Griner to just eight points in the first half, but she limited the Jayhawks leading scorer, sophomore forward Carolyn Davis, to two points and no rebounds in the first half. Griner made her presence felt in other aspects of the game by
grabbing six boards in the first half and finishing with 19 points.
"The longer you watch her and you have that opportunity to play against her, just how much she impacts the game on a defensive end, especially for a team that scores and spends a lot of time throwing the ball inside, 52-18 in points in the paint." Henrickson said. "She changes that because
there's not much room to score, and the lane is awful crowded."
The Jayhawks also struggled with clock management. With 3:36 left in the first half sophomore guard Monica Engelman had a three-point shot called back because of a shot clock violation
"We wanted to slow it down," Goodrich said. "Just so we weren't rushing or anything. Then we
kind of waited too long and needed to adjust the offense and try to get the defense and hammered into a screen. So once we got that we were free. We had to try and to find the open man. I think we kind of panicked after it started getting low."

BIG 12 TOURNAMENT
Teams beat out the competition, advance to the next round
BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com
NEBRASKA VS.
OKLAHOMA STATE
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Nebraska had a chance to win the game with 10.4 seconds remaining on the clock. After Oklahoma State junior guard Keiton Page missed the front end of a one-and-one, Nebraska grabbed the rebound and called a timeout.
With Oklahoma State clinging to a 53-52 lead, Nebraska's Lance Jeter was going to make sure Nebraska's NCAA fate was in his hands. And that's where the ball stayed – in his hands. Jeter was unable to get a shot off and
Oklahoma State's Nick Sidorakis stole the ball. Time expired before Nebraska could foul.
Oklahoma State moves on to the Big 12 quarterfinals. It will face Kansas at 11:30 a.m. Nebraska's hopes of the NCAA birth are slim.
COLORADO VS.
IOWA STATE
Page led the Cowboys with 16 points on 6-of-13 shooting (4-of-8 from the three). Jeter led the Huskers and all scorers with 17 points.
Colorado avenged its 95-90 loss to Iowa State on March 2 and kept its NCAA hopes alive for another day by defeating Iowa State 77-75.
Colorado's Alec Burks and Cory Higgins combined for 45 points,
Iowa State controlled most of the second half and led by two at halftime. The Cyclones led by as many as six in the second half, but Colorado took the lead for good after Burks hit a tough hanger to give the Buffaloes a 74-72 lead with 1:14 remaining in the game.
while Iowa State was led by Jake Anderson's 33 points.
Colorado will face Kansas State for the third time this season on Thursday. In the two previous meetings, the Buffaloes defeated the Wildcats 74-66 in Manhattan on Jan. 12 and 58-56 in Boulder, Colo., on Feb. 12.
The winner of this game will face the winner of Kansas versus Oklahoma State on Friday at 6 p.m.
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
BAYLOR VS. OKLAHOMA
Baylor's Perry Jones was suspended for accepting improper benefits during his high school career about an hour before tipoff, but it's likely even his presence wouldn't have helped the Bears, who took a good, old-fashioned 84-67 whooping at the hands of the Oklahoma Sooners.
Big 12 Sixth Man Award winner Quincy Acy posted 21 points and filled in admirably for Jones, who is widely regarded as the best NBA prospect in the Big 12. Baylor's LaceDarius Dunn, the first team All-Big 12 player in the
game, finished just 3-of-14 from the field and 1-of-7 from outside for 11 points.
The Sooners raced out to a 17-point first-half lead and coasted to the victory behind Cade Davis' 24 points and Carl Blair's 14 points, 11 assists and six rebounds. Baylor had an atrocious first half shooting the ball and they couldn't make up any ground in the second half.
MISSOURI VS.
TEXAS TECH
For a moment in the second half, it looked like Texas Tech was going to pull the upset over Missouri. The first six members of the pep band, all trumpets,
showed up late because they had been playing the women's game at nearby Municipal Auditorium, and the Red Raiders went on a 14-3 run to tie the game.
The moment passed, though.
The rest of the band showed up and the Red Raiders went into a tailspin. Missouri went on a double-digit run of its own, and the Tigers withstood a furious late Texas Tech rally to pull out an 88-84 victory.
The Tigers were led by Marcus Denmon's 20 points and John Roberson put up 28 in a losing effort for Tech. Barring a miracle postseason bid for the Red Raiders, it was Pat Knight's final game as a coach at Texas Tech.

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
In reality, Kansas doesn't have a whole lot to play for today. Beating the Cowboys, moving forward and getting a little momentum under their belt would undoubtedly be nice heading into the NCAA Tournament, but it's hardly a necessity. The Jayhawks are a top seed in the tournament regardless of what pans out this afternoon, and that's what really matters for them. Playing three games in three days, which they'll do if they beat the Cowboys, may actually be detrimental to the team, which is nursing a number of nagging injuries. But players at this level have a competitive streak a mile wide, so expect the Jayhawks to come out with a lot of juice.
Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson

better than anyone on the Jayhawk roster, and it's the entire reason he continues to start over Tysawn Taylor, whose defense is just as
unpredictable as his offense (read: very)). Johnson said the transition came when Self named him the starter and called him out in the locker room before the first time Kansas played Oklahoma State. He responded by shutting down Keiton Page (2-of-11 from the field), and leading the Jayhawks to an easy victory
QUESTION MARK
Is there a reason for the Jayhawks to care?
As mentioned above, a win here means three more games in the next three days, which is a physical drain heading into the heavily scheduled NCAA tournament. Lingering injuries to Tyrel Reed, Josh Selby and Thomas Robinson would suggest that a rest might do Kansas some good, but the Jayhawks have a little fire in them. The guys badly want a shot at Kansas State and, in particular, Texas, which remain the only teams to hand a loss to the Jayhawks. Kansas State would have to get through Colorado, which they've been unable to do all year, to set up a semifinal rematch with Kansas, while the Longhorns would have to win the bottom half of the bracket to set up a classic title game.
COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF

STARTERS
Elijah Johnson, guard
ajah Johnson, guard The offense hasn't stagnated under Johnson, but it hasn't had quite the same firepower as when Taylor ran the show. It hasn't been a concern yet. The Jayhawks are a perfect 4-0 under Johnson's steady hand and he led Kansas to a 27-point thumping of the Cowboys in Lawrence a couple weeks back. It's not crazy to think he could do the same thing today. His defense was key in that game.
Reed
★★★★☆
Tyrel Reed, guard
Bill Self
Tyrel Reed, guard Reed's lingering foot injury has hampered him enough that he's only practicing with the team fully on the day before games. Three straight days of games, should the Jayhawks win today, could be bad news for Reed, but Bill Self and the training staff are keeping a close eye on it. Winning a Big 12 Tournament title is a goal, sure, but they won't jeopardize having Reed available in the NCAA Tournament. He loses a star with the injury.
Morningstar
PETER PAYNE
★★★★
Brady Morningstar,guard
Mc. Morris
Morningstar is and always has been the type of guy whose final stat line can be guessed pretty accurately before most games. He'll give the Jayhawks 30-plus minutes, five to 12 points, three to six assists, zero or one turnover and a couple steals. He'll be tasked with guarding Jean Paul Olukemi, who was on the Big 12 All-Rookie team.
★★★★☆
Mk. Morris
Marcus Morris, forward
This is Marcus' first test as a leader in a win-or-go-home situation (see 1A), and the outcome could say a lot about his guidance. If the Jayhawks come out on fire, it'll be because Morris got them up. If they come out lethargic, it'll be because he didn't. Even if it's not on him, that is the perception about this team, and he understands that. Providing his leadership starts now.
★★★★
Markieff Morris, forward
Markieff is on a tear over his last five games, averaging 16.6 points and 8.6 rebounds, both up from his season averages. He dealt with foul trouble the last time he played against Oklahoma State and the Cowboys' Marshall Moses had a field day inside. However, Markieff still put up solid numbers. He finished with 15 points and seven rebounds that day.

Dowell has been excellent the last few weeks. He has averaged 10.8 points per game since Feb. 19. On Wednesday he scored eight points. He didn't run the point very well, just dishing out one assist and turning the ball over three times. He isn't a physical guard, in that he doesn't rebound well. He had zero boards in the victory against Nebraska.

★★☆★★
— Tim Dwyer
Keiton Page, guard
Page played extremely well Wednesday. He scored 17 points on 6-of-13 shooting. He went 4-of-8 from three and played 37 minutes. He is a small, feisty guard that will most likely be defended by Elijah Johnson. Self said that Johnson has been the team's best defender the last few weeks. This could be a problem for Page, who only scored eight points in Lawrence.
MERCY MAYNARD

★★★☆☆
Matt Pilgrim, forward
While Pilgrim isn't a scorer, he scored nine against Texas Tech and 10 against Baylor in consecutive games after Oklahoma State's bout with Kansas. In the finale against Oklahoma he scored two points and yesterday against Nebraska he scored two points. He went 1-7 from the field, but grabbed 12 bounds. He needs to focus on rebounding than scoring, unless the shots are falling.

Jean Paul Olukemi, forward
Olukemi was named to the All-Big 12 Rookie Team on Sunday. On Wednesday he scored five points and grabbed six rebounds. In the Feb. 21 matchup against Kansas Olukemi was nonexistent.

Moses has tremendous size and length. He is a big body down low that can create problems for Kansas' bigs. He has the ability to face his man and take him to the basket, but that isn't his forte. He is better with his back to the basket. On Sunday, Moses was named to the All-Big 12 Third Team.

OSU TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Oklahoma State narrowly hung on for a 53-52 victory on Wednesday. Nebraska's Lance Jeter had the ball in his hands for the final 10.4 seconds and couldn't get a shot off. The Cowboys played tight defense down the stretch and stole the ball with about two seconds remaining to seal the victory. After the Cowboys' 92-65 loss at Kansas, they finished the season 2-1 with victories against Texas Tech and Baylor at home and a loss in the season finale on the road to Oklahoma. While Nebraska is an excellent defensive team, Oklahoma State will need to score more if it has any hopes of knocking off Kansas.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Senior forward Marshall Moses

advantage for him, but it can also be a disadvantage. Moses has only fouled out once this season,but has been in foul trouble (three or more fouls) in 22 of the Cowboys 31 games. He had four fouls in Lawrence and the Morris twins and Thomas Robinson will make sure they go at him to get him off the floor.
QUESTION MARK
Will the Sprint Center be better than Allen Fieldhouse?
Plain and simply, the answer is no. There weren't that many fans for the game against Nebraska, so the same can probably be said for the game against Kansas. Besides Kansas fans travel well, especially the game being in Kansas City. The Sprint Center should be filled to capacity with Jayhawk fans, giving them an advantage over the Cowboys. However, Kansas State and Missouri fans will be in attendance too, but they surely won't cheer for Kansas, which could help Oklahoma State.

THE COWBOYS WILL SHOOT DOWN THE JAYHAWKS IF... Keiton Page gets open looks against Elijah Johnson and gets hot. Page buried the Jayhawks last year when Oklahoma State handed Kansas its second loss of the season in Stillwater, Marshall Moses dominated the Morris twins offensively the last time they played, but it didn't matter much. He needed help then from Page, and he'll need it again tomorrow.
THE SPRINT CENTER WILL ROCK IF... Johnson brings that defensive magic that was so stifling against Oklahoma State last time out to Kansas City with him. Should the Jayhawks put up that kind of defensive performance, they'll hammer the Cowboys just like they did in Allen Fieldhouse. There will be plenty of blue in the Sprint Center, as there always is when the Jayhawks make the trip 45 minutes east.

MORNING BREW
Have some sympathy for the rim
H
There is a new phenomenon in the NBA that has left me feeling very sorry for the rim lately.
It can float through the air, finish with ferocity, and has little-to-no discretion for human life itself.
It is Blake Griffin.
Maybe you've heard of him.
The NBA's newest sensation has only played 64 games in his young career and has already managed to make best friends with ESPN, win a dunk contest, and catch the eye of just about anyone who follows sports.
It is awesome.
ESPN has even integrated a "Blake Griffin alert" to notify fans that the star has made another highlight-reel dunk.
When he dunks, it's as if he lets out every ounce of aggression he has ever had on the rim. While no dunk is the same, they all seem to have these components: Griffin soars, Griffin winds back, and Griffin launches the ball as hard as possible at the rim.
The 6-foot-10, 251-pound forward who has taken the NBA by storm is doing much more than just providing insanely entertain ingunks. He is having a stellar season for the not so stellar Clippers, but he has given
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
the often terrible franchise a reason to have hope.
The former Oklahoma star is averaging 22.7 points and 12.5 rebounds a game. The Clippers though, are 24-40 with 18 games remaining in their season.
In the 24 Clippers wins, Griffin is averaging 24.7 points a game opposed to 21.4 in their 40 losses. In those wins, Griffin has shot much better as well. He shoots .567 percent in their wins and .475 percent in their losses. Griffin also averages about a rebound and an assist more in the team's wins as opposed to losses.
THE
MORNING
BREW
The Clippers' 20-year-old star has put-up numbers that show he is one of the league's best players.
He ranks ninth in the NBA in total points,
third in total rebounds, fourth in efficiency rating, second in free-throw attempts, and is second in double-doubles.
The man seems to make at least one play a game that will have the whole crowd buzzing with excitement for the rest of the game. That's what the people are coming to see, and he is bringing it day in and day out.
As the season heads toward its close, the numbers and the highlights don't lie, the NBA has its next superstar.
And to the rim, I'm sorry, it looks like your future will be a painful one as long as Blake Griffin is in it.

The Jayhawk women's golf team played in the Sir Pizza Cards Challenge in Weston, Fla., over the weekend. The final round came to a close on Tuesday, with the Jayhawks finishing fifth out of fourteen.
Big East commissioner John Marinatto issued a statement about 40 minutes after the game ended admitting there were two errors made by the officiating
It wasn't great plays by St. John's that will make this a memorable game. Rather it was two turnovers that weren't called and this wasn't just the losing team complaining about a tough loss.
Their final tournament score of 913 strokes was only eleven off the first place spot. The team's overall final round collective score of 296 is Kansas' second best team score of the year.
This is the Jayhawks' fifth top five finish this season. Junior Katy Nugent and freshman Thanuttra Boonrakasas helped propel the team with strong final round scores
of 222 and 224 strokes, respectively. Nugent finished in 7th place overall, and Boonrakasasat's final score of 224 was a career best.
Senior Grace Thiry shot a 77 in the final round, and her collective score of 235 strokes earned her a spot tied for 37th place overall. Senior Meghna Bal finished tied for 48th place with a tournament score of 239. Freshman Meghan Potte shot a 240 and tied for 50th. Senior Jennifer Clark competed individually, and placed 70th with a 54-hole score of 250 strokes.

NEW YORK — Madison Square Garden has been a special court for St. John's in its return to national prominence.
Official says referees missed calls in game
officiating errors occurred at the conclusion of the St. John's vs. Rutgers game," he said, referring to the travel and stepping out of bounds. "Both missed violations should have caused the game clock to stop and a change of possession to occur prior to the end of the game. Neither error is reviewable or correctable under NCAA rules."

Baylor dashes NCAA hopes
After No. 3 Baylor crushed Kansas 86-51, the Jayhawks now wait to see the NIT bids

BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com
After a dominant 71-45 defeat of Colorado in the first round, Kansas fell behind early to Baylor. This game was the last chance to make the NCAA tournament, but post-season dreams were dashed with the loss which sends the Jayhawks to the WNIT for the fourth straight year.

pointment. The lajyhawks went on a 13-3 run late in the second half, but a 7-15 mark from beyond the three point line was not enough to keep the game close.
Sophomore guard Monica Engelman stepped into a leadership position for the second straight game and led the team with 16 points after hitting four three pointers.
"We all talked about coming into in the game and being aggressive," Engelman said. "I think I tried to keep up with that goal and expectation."
Kansas fell to No. 1 seed Baylor in an 86-51 rout in the quarter finals of the Big 12 Women's Basketball Championship. Kansas' record now sits at 20-12 overall and 6-10 in conference play.
Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis fell into foul trouble again with four fouls early in the second half. Senior forward Krysten
Boogaard and freshman forward Tania Jackson contributed eight and 12 points respectively, filling the gap in scoring from Davis.

"She changes that because there is not much room to score and the lane is awfully crowded," Hendrickson said.

Kansas also had trouble with the Baylor defense which forced several desperation shots at the end of the shot clock.

This was the second game, which Kansas lost to Baylor this season after a 76-37 loss on January 19 at home.

Kansas gets by North Dakota in sloppy game
Junior catcher Chris Manship celebrates after making a home run against North Dakota at Hoglund Ballpark. Manship was at bat 3 times on Wednesday, scoring 1 of 5 points for Kansas' 5-3 victory against North Dakota.
KANSAS
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team came into Wednesday's game against North Dakota hoping to get the bats on track over a winless North Dakota team. Instead, they ended up winning in a 5-3 dogfight victory to back to .500 at 6-6 on the season.
The Jayhawks recorded a season-high 10 hits in Wednesday's victory over the Fighting Sioux. With the way the bats have been struggling, recording 10 hits sounds like it would make the Jayhawks and coach Ritch Price pleased with their performance at the plate.
Instead, Price and the Jayhawks seemed to think that they took a step backwards at the plate in the Jayhawks sixth victory of the season.
season.
"Today I didn't think the quality of our bats were very good at all." Price said.
an, Price said.
The reason Coach Price was so upset after the game?
The Jayhawks only managed to scrap together three earned runs against a North Dakota team that has struggled mightily on the mound this season. The Fighting Sioux came into Wednesday's game with an abysmal team of ERA of 11.65. In North Dakota's three game series with Missouri State, they allowed 9, 12, and 13 runs in those games.
For the Jayhawks to only put a total of five runs on the board, is a major let-down for a team that was hoping to get into a rhythm in this week's games.
"I was really disappointed, to be honest with you," Price said. "We had some really bad at-bats."
Now that the Jayhawks are 12 games into their season and are
still in a team-wide slump, the problems become mental. Price said the team appears to be trying to force the issue, and the result Wednesday was an unusual amount of pop-ups from the layhawks.
jayhawks. "There were three consecutive innings where we had six consecutive pop-ups for outs." Price said. "It's guys trying too hard."
One of the few bright spots for Kansas at the plate Wednesday was sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon's performance. DeLeon hit a line drive solo homerun
to left field in the bottom of the fifth inning, and he knocked two batters in off two separate sacrifice flies. DeLeon finished one-for-two with three RBIs and a run. DeLeon credits his improving play to better patience at the plate.
"I'm feeling pretty good," DeLeon said. "I've been swinging at better pitches, making sure I get a ball elevated in the zone, and just putting a good swing on it."
on it.
Sophomore starting pitcher Thomas Taylor, who had a
strong performance going 5.2 innings and only giving up one run, seemed much less concerned about the team's batting struggles.
give
"They're already doing a lot better from the beginning of the year," Taylor said. "They'll be fine."
Another good sign for the Jayhawks today was senior outfielder, Jimmy Waters, getting back on track with two hits today, including a screaming line drive down the right field line that resulted in a double.
"It's got to start with Waters getting it going, and [Casey] Lythe has got to get it going, and [Brandon] Macias has got to get it going." Price said. "For somebody to take the pressure off of the lineup, it's got to be those guys that have been successful in the past."
For the Jayhawks to get on track, Waters and the other seniors in the middle of the order have to heat up.

COMMENTARY
Selby not as great as expected
PETER HENRY
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Remember that kid who was supposed to be the savior of Kansas basketball? What was his name? Shelby?
1234
his name: Selby.
Well, that kid, Josh Selby, didn't quite save the Jayhawks. (Why an undefeated team needed a savior is beyond me, but that's a different story, I suppose.)
He came in and won his first game as a Jayhawk — and I mean that literally. He won that game for Kansas. But since then, Selby hasn't panned out as the superstar many thought he would be. Maybe it's because of the overwhelming hype and pressure associated with him. Maybe it's the near-impossibility of joining a team as jelled as the Jayhawks were midseason. Or, maybe it's because of nagging injuries.
nagging injuries.
Accordingly, Bill Self has cut Selby's minutes. The emergence of Elijah Johnson has all but worked Selby out of the jayhawks' rotation. He played just 9.5 minutes per game in the last two games — the only two since Johnson was the starting spot and Taylor was reinstated.
There's little argument that, in the interest of the short term, that Self handled the situation well. The Jayhawks are playing at a high enough level that even a loss this afternoon won't derail them from a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Throw in the fact that the team plays its best basketball with Selby buried on the bench, and Self had little option but to keep him there.

But there are two problems. First,

surface. So you could say, "He could still be a guy for us this year that comes out and gets 15 or 18 points when we are really struggling." Self said. "He is potentially still that guy. He just needs to have a bit more confidence moving forward."
confluence his rising. But Selby has likely never seen the bench for as long as he has this season. He's been the most talented player in almost every gym he walks into. He's never been a sidekick, like he will be to Marcus Morris, even in his finest moments this year.
should need.
But still, the perception stands, and it can and will be used against him when the Jayhaws get into a recruiting war with any team for any top recruit. Kids in the top 30, roughly, of every recruiting class generally think they are the world's greatest basketball talent. An opposing coach could have an easy go of convincing them that. In Self's system, they will face the same fate as Selby.
The second problem, any coach recruiting against the layhawks will happily spout, is that there is now a stigma that Self cannot coach a one-and-done player.
This is obviously and unquestionably ludicrous. Bill Self is a remarkable basketball coach, and his string of seven consecutive titles in one of the most difficult basketball leagues in the country is all the evidence you should need.
But here's the thing about Kansas. This year's team — its most balanced an overall-talented since the title-winning team of 2008 — is built out of three- and four-year players. Marcus Morris was ranked No. 29 in his class and Markieff was No. 49. Elijah Johnson is the only five-star recruit that starts, and it's a guarantee that he will be back in Lawrence next season.
So does Kansas even need the top recruits?

ARGUMENTS IN BRIEF:
Student Senate finance committee:
Wants to cut all funding for the Douglas County AIDS Project, Headquarters, GaDuGi SafeCenter and Willow Domestic Violence Center from the student activity fee by fiscal year 2012; funding for these services is currently $2.11 of $11.41 (18 percent of total).
- Plan to set up a taskforce to find ways to fund these services outside the activity fee
  *Sources: David Cohen, treasurer; Aaron Dollinger, chief of staff*
- They say they don't want these services to lose funding but believe they should not be funded through the Student Senate activity fund
- The Douglas County AIDS Project, Headquarters, GaDuGi SafeCenter and Willow Domestic Violence Center
- Funding cuts are coming from federal and state levels — even if student contributions are relatively small, every little bit helps, especially in preparation for Gov. Brownback's proposed budget, which cuts state funding to community mental health centers completely
- Wants funding to remain at $2.11 per student, per semester

Take a look at the sky on April 8 and you just might see a balloon flying over Lawrence. They call it Project GeoHawk, an assignment in Geography 726, Remote Sensing II.
Weather permitting, the balloon will lift off from one of several possible launch sites on public land around the city. As the balloon rises, the camera will take hundreds of pictures of Lawrence and Douglas County. The students will use the balloon's flight data for several research projects on remote sensing, mapping, image processing and the effects of high-altitude on photography. Because the mission depends on obtaining good photographs,
The balloon will expand in response to the decreasing air pressure as it rises, and the team expects it to pop at about 100,000 feet.
A team of 18 geography students is preparing to build and launch a weather balloon 20 miles into the sky.
The self-destruction of the balloon will release the parachute, as it returns to earth. GeoHawk team member Ryan Callihan, a graduate student from Lenexa, said the team would track the vehicle's entire flight, but could not predict the landing exactly.
"The cameras worked great," said Kelly Miller, a senior from Waterloo, Ill. "If we can get that quality from the flight it will be amazing."
some team members boarded an airplane on Thursday for a test flight, removing one of the aircraft's windows to experiment with a variety of camera settings and lenses.
"We have no idea where it's going to land," he said. "It could land 300 miles downwind or in
The entire apparatus will be about 23 feet long, with the balloon measuring four feet wide and six feet tall, pulling a tail strung with a parachute, radar reflectors and two boxes of electronic equipment. The equipment, which includes GPS trackers, will measure internal and external temperatures, air pressure and the orientation of the contraption. A camera will dangle from the end, pointed downward,
Miller said that the vehicle, along with its data, could be destroyed if it lands in Clinton Lake or on Interstate 70. She said Olympus, the lens the students two Flagship E-5 cameras, also accepts that possibility and had been promised copyright of any images taken with their equipment.

I was seven years old when we brought Millie home. She already knew how to pee in the grass and demand a tummy rub like any well-spoiled dog should. Though her stubby legs were only a few inches long, Millie walked around the house and gallivanted through the neighborhood as if she were a queen. She was a Welsh corgi after all, the royal dog of England.
But Millie's previous home was no palace. My family rescued her from a local pound. I remember making our way through the narrow walkway of caged animals as their piercing cries bombarded me from both sides. At the end of the walkway was a room with animals that were to be executed soon. The chubby corgi was to be killed the next day, and we couldn't let that happen. Millie then became a new member of our family.
As a child, Millie was the perfect play companion. I'm assuming this is strange behavior for kids and their pets, but we would play dress up together. When the weather was nice, I would dress her up in my swimsuit and sunglasses and run around
the backyard with her.
As we both got older, our lifestyles matured (a bit) and she continued to be my loyal companion. Whenever I would stay up late doing homework, Millie would be there to keep my feet warm. Whenever I would spend time in front of the tube, Millie would be there to cuddle with me. Whenever I would take Millie on a walk, her little legs would match my fast pace — until she could find a puddle. There she would plop, ever so nobly, while I waited on her Majesty to cool off. Once a queen, always a queen.
A photo of Millie in her bikini glory still hangs on my family's refrigerator. Long live the queen.
Millie now sits on her royal throne in doggy heaven, but these memories will never leave me. My family gave her a whole new life she almost didn't have. I hope we gave her as much joy as she gave us.
But taking care of a pet isn't all about the joys of puppy love. Pets require a lot of time, money and attention, especially for college students. To find out if you're ready for a new furry friend in your life, check out Lindsey's story on page 8. Make sure to take the story's advice and adopt from a local shelter. (Tease: The story has lots of cute pictures of dogs and cats. You want to take a look.)

A team of 18 geography students is preparing to build and launch a weather balloon 20 miles into the sky.
Weather permitting, the balloon will lift off from one of several possible launch sites on public land around the city. As the balloon rises, the camera will take hundreds of pictures of Lawrence and Douglas County. The students will use the balloon's flight data for several research projects on remote sensing, mapping, image processing and the effects of high-alitude on photography. Because the mission depends on obtaining good photographs,
The balloon will expand in response to the decreasing air pressure as it rises, and the team expects it to pop at about 100,000 feet.
"The cameras worked great," said Kelly Miller, a senior from Waterloo, Ill. "If we can get that quality from the flight it will be amazing."
some team members boarded an airplane on Thursday for a test flight, removing one of the aircraft's windows to experiment with a variety of camera settings and lenses.
The entire apparatus will be about 23 feet long, with the balloon measuring four feet wide and six feet tall, pulling a tail strung with a parachute, radar reflectors and two boxes of electronic equipment. The equipment, which includes GPS trackers, will measure internal and external temperatures, air pressure and the orientation of the contraption. A camera will dangle from the end, pointed downward,

KANSAS IN HEAT // CALL ME HOT, NOT THEM
> Tackle the sticky world of relationships.
Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn. graduate student, and Michelle MacBain, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, are the hosts of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on KJHK 90.7fm and at kkh.org
Q. My fiancé always points out women on TV he thinks are "hot." It really bothers me. Why does he do this? Why not point out how hot I am?
bridges bridges
A. My first guess is that he doesn't realize how often he is doing this. To you, he might be doing it always. To him, he rarely does it.
I'm worried about how you feel the women on TV are getting more attention than you. I'm sure he thinks you are just as hot as them — he just hasn't said it lately.
We all need relational currencies (or displays of affection). Some of us need them as compliments, as physical intimacy or as gifts. Early in relationships we use a variety of relational currencies to build intimacy, but as time passes we tend to fall back on two or three, the ones that work on us.
// MIKE ANDERSON
Let your partner know what kind of affection you need. Don't say, "Well, how would you like it if I went around pointing out every hot guy?" That kind of language can hurt the relationship. Instead, let him know how you would really like to hear him say how hot you are. If the problem continues, ask him about it. His reaction will tell you a lot about your relationship.
FILM EDITOR
A. Your fiancé will find other women attractive. You will find other men attractive. Problems only arise if you act upon sexual attraction.
Pointing out other women from television as "hot" may make you uncomfortable. The first step is to express your feelings to your fiancé. I hope, as compatible partners, communicating a need for comfort and security is not a problem.
security is not a problem. The next time he says, "Fill in the blank) is so hot," respond with, "It's a good thing you found your (fill in the blank) right here." Consider turning off the TV and leading him into the bedroom.
Take control and be his ultimate fantasy. If he continues to point out other women, celebrities or otherwise, please reconsider this person as your life-long partner. You deserve daily praises from your partner of your unique - beauty, charm and hotness.

Kansas gets by North Dakota in sloppy game
Junior catcher Chris Manship celebrates after making a home run against North Dakota at Hoglund Ballpark. Manship was at bat 3 times on Wednesday, scoring 1 of 5 points for Kansas' 5-3 victory against North Dakota.
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team came into Wednesday's game against North Dakota hoping to get the bats on track over a winless North Dakota team. Instead, they ended up winning in a 5-3 dogfight victory to get back to 500 at 6-6 on the season.
The Jayhawks recorded a season-high 10 hits in Wednesday's victory over the Fighting Sioux. With the way the bats have been struggling, recording 10 hits sounds like it would make the Jayhawks and coach Ritch Price pleased with their performance at the plate.
Instead, Price and the Jayhawks seemed to think that they took a step backwards at the plate in the Jayhawks sixth victory of the season.
season.
"Today I didn't think the quality of our bats were very good at all." Price said.
upset after the game. The Jayhawks only managed to scrap together three earned runs against a North Dakota team that has struggled mightily on the mound this season. The Fighting Sioux came into Wednesday's game with an abysmal team of ERA of 11.65. In North Dakota's three game series with Missouri State, they allowed 9, 12, and 13 runs in those games.
The reason Coach Price was so upset after the game?
runs in those cases.
For the Jayhawks to only put a total of five runs on the board, is a major let-down for a team that was hoping to get into a rhythm in this week's games.
Now that the Jayhawks are 12 games into their season and are
"I was really disappointed to be honest with you," Price said. "We had some really bad at-bats."
still in a team-wide slump, the problems become mental. Price said the team appears to be trying to force the issue, and the result Wednesday was an unusual amount of pop-ups from the Jayhawks.
"There were three consecutive innings where we had six consecutive pop-ups for outs." Price said. "It's guys trying too hard."
One of the few bright spots for Kansas at the plate Wednesday was sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon's performance. DeLeon hit a line drive solo homerun
to left field in the bottom of the fifth inning, and he knocked two batters in off two separate sacrifice flies. DeLeon finished one-for-two with three RBIs and a run. DeLeon credits his improving play to better patience at the plate.
plate.
"I'm feeling pretty good," DeLeon said. "I've been swinging at better pitches, making sure I get a ball elevated in the zone, and just putting a good swing on it."
on it. Sophomore starting pitcher Thomas Taylor, who had a
strong performance going 5.2 innings and only giving up one run, seemed much less concerned about the team's batting struggles.
Edited by Corey Thibodeaux
Another good sign for the Jayhawks today was senior outfielder, Jimmy Waters, getting back on track with two hits today, including a screaming line drive down the right field line that resulted in a double.
"They're already doing a lot better from the beginning of the year," Taylor said. "They'll be fine."
For the Jayhawks to get on track, Waters and the other seniors in the middle of the order have to heat up.
"It's got to start with Waters getting it going, and [Casey] Lytle has got to get it going, and [Brandon] Macias has got to get it going," Price said. "For somebody to take the pressure off of the lineup, it's got to be those guys that have been successful in the past."

This is obviously and unquestionably ludicrous. Bill Self, is a remarkable basketball coach, and his string of seven consecutive titles in one of the most difficult basketball leagues in the country is all the evidence you should need.
little option but to keep him there.
nite option but to keep two problems. First, there may come a game when the Jayhawks' offense isn't running smooth and Selby is the Jayhawks' best option in a broken floor. Watch him play, and you will see the incredible talent buried just beneath the surface. Self acknowledges this.
"He could still be a guy for us this year that comes out and gets 15 or 18 points when we are really struggling," Self said. "He is potentially still that guy. He just needs to have a bit more confidence moving forward."
But Selby has likely never seen the bench for as long as he has this season. He's been the most talented player in almost every gym he walks into. He's never been a sidekick, like he will be to Marcus Morris, even in his finest moments this year.
But still, the perception stands, and it can and will be used against him when the layhawks get into a recruiting war with any team for any top recruit. Kids in the top 30, roughly, of every recruiting class generally think they are the world's greatest basketball talent. An opposing coach could have an easy go of convincing them that. In Self's system, they will face the same fate as Selby.
The second problem, any coach recruiting against the layhawks will happily spout, is that there is now a stigma that Self cannot coach a one-and-done player.
But here's the thing about Kansas. This year's team — its most balanced an overall-talented since the title-winning team of 2008 — is built out of three- and four-year players. Marc Morris was ranked No. 29 in his class and Markieff was No. 49. Elijah Johnson is the only five-star recruit that starts, and it's a guarantee that he will be back in Lawrence next season.
So does Kansas even need the top recruits?

CATCH OF THE WEEK // MICAELA CLARKE
> Our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
FAVORITE MUSIC: Alternative pop, but I pretty much listen to anything and everything, so I don't really have a favorite.
YOU MIGHT SPOT ME: At 23rd Street Brewery or going out downtown with my friends.
HOBBIES: I love having fun, being outside and having a good dance sesh before I go out. I like meeting new people, watching my favorite childhood movies and cooking.
TURN-ONS: This sounds cliché, but someone who is nice, tall and has a good smile. He also has to make me laugh. Also, someone who can be my best friend. He should get along well with my friends and I can get a long with his. He shouldn't ignore me when we go out together, but he shouldn't be too clingy. He also has to be a dog person, and preferably have his own dog.

and cocky. Someone who changes his mind a lot that drives me insane. A shy guy who doesn't have a lot of friends is a turn-off. I also don't like cigarettes, and facial hair creeps me out.
CITY OF KANSAS STATE
IDEAL DATE: Something that's not a typical date — not dinner and a movie. I would like a guy to pick something new and exciting for our date. I am a huge sports fan, so going to a basketball or football game would be fun. I am always up for going to a concert, too. I would enjoy those dates as long as my date and I could talk about anything without feeling awkward.
**WHY I'M A CATCH:** I have fun wherever I go and I make the best out of everything. I also get along with anyone and everyone.
AWKWARD DATING MOMENT. One time my mom was half-asleep when my high school boyfriend picked me up for our first date. When she went outside to greet him, she mistook him for my best friend's little brother, so she started asking him personal family questions.

HOW WE MET // MERANDA O'GORMAN & COLIN ROY > All great relationships had to start somewhere.
Meranda O'Gorman and Colin Roy met at a party, but they didn't get to know each other while schmoozing over drinks or playing beer pong.
> All great relationships had to start somewhere.
O'Gorman, Wichita sophomore, and a friend went to Roy's Fourth of July party in 2009. "When we first met, I thought she was very quiet and shy," Roy, Rosehill junior, says of O'Gorman. "But throughout the night we started to talk, and then her friend decided she liked vodka and the bushes at my parents house."
O'Gorman's friend went missing after too many drinks. They found her hooking up with another guest in the bushes. Roy drove the girls home and instantly connected with O'Gorman. "Long story short, we ended up flirting over a bottle of water while watching her friend try to stay alive in the bushes," Roy says.
The couple isn't upset about their friend's

GOOD FOR YOU BAD FOR YOU //
WEARING CONTACTS TOO LONG > Sometimes it's hard to tell.
When the seeing-impaired get their first pair of contacts, they often get a lengthy list of guidelines that include, "Don't wear contact lenses longer than you're supposed to." But just how important is it to follow this rule?
As It turns out, very.
Michelle Hansen, Victoria senior, admits she often wears contacts longer than recommended. But this could be harmful.
Troy Maydew, an optometrist at Maydew Thibault Optometry in Pratt, says mucin and protein from tears build up on the lenses, which is why it's important to clean and disinfect them on a regular basis. If not, a lens develops a sandpaper-like texture over time. Maydew says the small abrasions caused by wearing an old, dirty contact lens puts your eye at high risk of infection.
Maydew also discourages people from wearing their contacts while they sleep — unless the lenses are approved for overnight use. Approved lenses allow the eye to recieve more oxygen than lenses that are not. Maydew

Eyes wide shut: Wearing contacts while sleeping,
unless approved, can be harmful to your eyes.
says studies show sleeping with any contact lens increases the chance for lens-related problems 800 percent. "Each person needs to decide if the convenience is worth the gamble," Maydew says.
Next time you don't feel like taking the time to remove your contacts, think twice — your sight may depend on it.
VERDICT: Bad for you.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS
> If you're going to do it, be smart.
Spring break is just around the corner, which means time is running out to get that bronze, beach-ready body. After all, no one wants to be the person that shows up at the seashore looking pale as a ghost. Instead of risking their health with tanning beds to beat those pasty-white, winter blues, students should consider a safer option: sunless tanning.
A spray tan is one form of sunless tanning. When getting a spray tan at a tanning salon, Marteka Carlton, an employee at Suns Resorts, says your body gets sprayed evenly with a bronzing solution that contains large amounts of dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This chemical makes skin appear darker. Here's the cool part: clients start to see a difference after just one session. The cost is around $35 and the tan lasts about a week.
Sunless tanning lotions, like Jergens natural glow moisturizer, can give skin a sunkissed façade for a cheaper price. Jergens sunless tanning products are around $5. A

tan may take longer to appear, however, since these lotions contain smaller amounts of DHA.
these lotions contain smaller amounts For the best results, sunless tanners should exfoliate with a loofa and non-moisturizing soap beforehand to prevent orange streaks. Then, prepare for a week of kicking back on the coast, with a favorite beverage in those sun-kissed hands.

Kansas gets by North Dakota in sloppy game
Junior catcher Chris Manship celebrates after making a home run against North Dakota at Hoglund Ballpark. Manship was at bat 3 times on Wednesday, scoring 1 of 5 points for Kansas' 5-3 victory against North Dakota.

The Kansas baseball team came into Wednesday's game against North Dakota hoping to get the bats on track over a winless North Dakota team. Instead, they ended up winning in a 5-3 dogfight victory to get back to .500 at 6-6 on the season.
The Jayhawks recorded a season-high 10 hits in Wednesday's victory over the Fighting Sioux. With the way the bats have been struggling, recording 10 hits sounds like it would make the Jayhawks and coach Ritch Price pleased with their performance at the plate.
Instead, Price and the Jayhawks seemed to think that they took a step backwards at the plate in the Jayhawks sixth victory of the season.
season.
"Today I didn't think the quality of our bats were very good at all." Price said.
The reason Coach Price was so upset after the game?
For the Jayhawks to only put a total of five runs on the board, is a major let-down for a team that was hoping to get into a rhythm in this week's games.
"I was really disappointed, to be honest with you," Price said. "We had some really bad at-bats."

Now that the Jayhawks are 12 games into their season and are

"I'm feeling pretty good," DeLeon said. "I've been swinging at better pitches, making sure I get a ball elevated in the zone, and just putting a good swing on it."
to left field in the bottom of the fifth inning, and he knocked two batters in off two separate sacrifice flies. DeLeon finished one-for-two with three RBIs and a run. DeLeon credits his improving play to better patience at the plate.
Sophomore starting pitcher Thomas Taylor, who had a
strong performance going 5.2 innings and only giving up one run, seemed much less concerned about the team's batting struggles.
"They're already doing a lot better from the beginning of the year." Taylor said. "They'll be fine."
Another good sign for the Jayhawks today was senior outfielder, Jimmy Waters, getting back on track with two hits today, including a screaming line drive down the right field line that resulted in a double.

surface so that he could still be a guy for us this year that comes out and gets 15 or 18 points when we are really struggling," Self said. "He is potentially still that guy. He just needs to have a bit more confidence moving forward."
The second problem, any coach recruiting against the layhawks will happily spout, is that there is now a stigma that Self cannot coach a one-and-done player.
But here's the thing about Kansas. This year's team — its most balanced an overall-talented since the title-winning team of 2008 — is built out of three- and four-year players. Marcus Morris was ranked No. 29 in his class and Markieff was No. 49. Elijah Johnson is the only five-star recruit that starts, and it's a guarantee that he will be back in Lawrence next season.
So does Kansas even need the top recruits?

TELFONE
> Because we have questions. Celebrities have answers.
GloZell Green is best known for her hilarious YouTube videos, especially "My push up bra will help me get my man" and her many "translation" videos in which she analyzes the lyrics of anyone from Ke$ha to Justin Beiber. The 45-year-old YouTube superstar received her B.F.A. in musical theatre from the University of Florida. After college, GloZell left her home in Orlando and moved to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actress/comedienne.
With a rough start in Hollywood, GloZell began studying some of her favorite comedians' work — namely, Jay Leno. She attended more than 600 consecutive tapings of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, studying Leno and taking notes. GloZell's notes and interviews with the show's audience provided material for her blog and led to the birth of her video posts in early 2008.
Today, her Leno days are behind her and she currently works as an actress, comedienne, television personality and vocalist. GloZell spoke with Jayplay about her viral YouTube videos, life in Hollywood and her inspirations.
What inspired you to get on YouTube and make your first video?
Well, at the time, I was making videos on Blogger and it was really slow, so I was asking the whole 10 people following my blog where I could upload my videos. So then I started putting my videos up through YouTube, and then one day, my friend was like, "Do you know you've got people looking at you on YouTube?" And next thing I knew, "My Push Up Bra" was going from 1 million views to 2 million to 3 million. So then I started paying more attention to the whole YouTube thing, and now I hardly ever look at my blog.
What's the process of making your videos today? Any planning or preparation, or do you just wing it?
I just look at the artist's lyrics and go from there, but I don't plan it or anything. It's all foolishness basically. Ke$ha gets drunk, rolls around in glitter, maybe makes out with a guy and then writes a song about it. So then I just sit down and read it, and even her fans love it. Sometimes I just talk about the music videos, and so it's all made up. I mean, when you have over 1,000 videos and post as much as I do, you just don't have the time to write, analyze and think everything over. It's not that serious, you know? It's just YouTube.
Who is your hero?
OK, this may seem kind of bizarre, but as far as the Internet world, Perez Hilton, because he has gone from being a blogger to an Internet star. Now, I don't agree with everything he says and does, but he shows it can be done — that someone who's not an actor or singer, but just a blogger, can gain a fan base and become famous. So it just makes me think if he can do it, I can do it.
How have you gotten to where you're at today?
What keeps you motivated?
I watch and talk about what I like. I like the Hollywood industry, television, celebrities and pop culture. So I'm just talking how I normally would anyway. I just happen to tape it and post it and it surprises people. And where would I be without the Internet or YouTube? I'd just be a crazy girl talking to myself. You're crazy until you start making money and you're crazy until you start becoming famous. I mean, if I weren't known like I am today, i'd really just be an old, crazy lady.
Wow. I have been lucky enough to meet a lot,
so that's tough. I'm trying to think of someone
Of all the famous people you've met so far, who's your favorite and why?
that younger people would know. Angelina Jolie's father, Jon Voight, was really nice.
What advice do you have for college students who are aspiring actors or comedians?
But as far as ever? Michael Jackson. It won't get any better than that in my lifetime. I wouldn't mind meeting Lady Gaga, though. That would be cool, as long as she's not in Alejandro scary mode.
Talk about what you know and stay true to what you want to do, because along the way people will ask you to do all kinds of things — crazythings — and sometimes you compromise, but you've got to stay true to yourself. Especially as a comic, if you talk about your life and things that have happened to you and try not to be like someone else, then you'll make it. There's room for everybody. How many stations or networks are on television? Millions? You can get on one.
Speaking of that, are the rumors true that Oprah's giving you a television show on her network?
Not that I know of, nope. Right now, I'm just my own ghetto Oprah on the Internet. Maybe she'll be calling me. I'll be sitting by the phone waiting, O.
Every day, have fun. That's what I do, and people think I'm way younger than I am. Everyone has their gifts and their talents. If you just do what you're supposed to do, you'll go far. I mean, I'm not skinny, I'm not cute, I'm not blond or whatever else, but somehow I'm popular, and popular with a group that's 20 years younger than I am.

A team of 18 geography students is preparing to build and launch a weather balloon 20 miles into the sky.

FRIEND
PET ADOPTION IS A GREAT WAY TO FIND
A COMPANION AND SAVE A LIFE
// LINDSEY SIEGELÉ
They're our best friends, our confidants and our bedtime companions. Our pets have become so important to us that many people count them as family members. We call ourselves "pet parents," and even dress our pets up for Halloween and buy them expensive toys and shelters.
Americans are so crazy about animals, in fact, that according to statistics from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), 63 percent of U.S. households contain at least one pet. That comes to a whopping 75 million dogs and 85 million cats with families to nuzzle and warm beds to sleep in.
Unfortunately, a shocking number of castoff animals end up in shelters each year: 5 to 7 million, according to the ASPCA. Some are adopted, but many — between 3 and 4 million per year — are euthanized. The Humane Society of the United States says that approximately one every eight seconds.
The Humane Society of the United States and the ASPCA both work to inform the
public about responsible pet ownership and overpopulation, but you can do your part, too. If you're considering adding a pet to your household, taking your search to a local shelter could be, literally, a lifesaving decision.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I'M READY?
The ASPCA's statistics may have you jumping into rescue mode, but experts will urge you to put some thought into your decision. Adopting an animal when you're not ready isn't just a bad choice for you, it's a bad choice for your pet, too, says Sue Novak, who writes an animal column called "Critter Care" for the Lawrence Journal World, and previously served as the president of the Lawrence Humane Society (LHS) Board.
Novak has seen numerous would-be pet owners bring their animals back to the shelter because they simply weren't ready for the commitment. "That's a selfish choice," she says, "because you don't care what the animal's ultimate outcome is."
Without proper preparation, the outcome can be grim, as Joanna Vosburg, Grinnell senior, learned the hard way. She adopted a dog in 2009 on an impulse. Her new pet was a wonderful companion, but he had health complications that started draining Vosburgh's bank account. "With all the vet visits, medicines and special foods, my $80 adoption turned into a $700 to $800 investment in under five weeks,"
"I think people need to put the same amount of commitment into their animals as they do their children." Novak says. She emphasizes the financial responsibility of pet ownership. Food, veterinarian appointments and space are all things to consider, she says, before deciding you're ready to adopt.
Students can make great pet parents, Novak says, but only if they are willing to make a lifetime commitment to their pets. Shelter animals are looking for what the Humane Society calls "forever homes," and a student must be ready to provide support and love for the duration of an animal's life.

she says. "I just couldn't keep paying that. I had a breakdown and told my roommate we had to take him back."
Vosburg admits she probably wasn't ready for the responsibility of pet ownership yet, and the experience left her heartbroken.
HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT PET?
If you've decided you're ready for the responsibility of pet ownership, you need to start thinking about what kind of animal is right for you. Are you looking for an animal that takes care of itself, or one that requires more hands-on care? Do you already have an animal at home that needs a cooperative buddy? Do you have enough space for a high-energy breed?

These are all questions to consider before choosing your new pet, says Susan O'Neil, a

season.
"Today I didn't think the quality of our bats were very good at all," I price said.
The reason Coach Price was so upset after the game?
The Jayhawks only managed to scrap together three earned runs against a North Dakota team that has struggled mightily on the mound this season. The Fighting Sioux came into Wednesday's game with an abysmal team of ERA of 11.65. In North Dakota's three game series with Missouri State, they allowed 9, 12, and 13 runs in those games.

This is obviously and unquestionably ludicrous. Bill Self is a remarkable basketball coach, and his string of seven consecutive titles in one of the most difficult basketball leagues in the country is all the evidence you should need.
But still, the perception stands, and it can and will be used against him when the jayhaws get into a recruiting war with any team for any top recruit. Kids in the top 30, roughly, of every recruiting class generally think they are the world's greatest basketball talent. An opposing coach could have an easy go of convincing them that. In Self's system, they will face the same fate as Selby.
But here's the thing about Kansas. This year's team — its most balanced an overall-talented since the title-winning team of 2008 — is built out of three- and four-year players. Marcus Morris was ranked No. 29 in his class and Markieff was No. 49. Elijah Johnson is the only five-star recruit that starts, and it's a guarantee that he will be back in Lawrence next season.

Research, especially into breeds if you're considering adopting a dog, is an important first step, O'Neil says. Talk to volunteers and people who work at the shelter to find out if a specific animal fits your criteria. "Find an animal that's not only cute, but fits into your lifestyle," she says.

> Susan O'Neil
LL Dog Rescue Volunteer
FIND AN ANIMAL THAT'S NOT ONLY CUTE, BUT FITS INTO YOUR LIFESTYLE.
O'Neil picked a long-haired chihuahua when she was a student because in her small space, she couldn't responsibly handle a larger dog.
In the end, a gut feeling can be a good indicator of whether or not you've made the right selection. "You will know when you've found the dog that you're meant to have," O'Neil says. "You'll leave, and not be able to stop thinking about him."
A gut feeling played a part in Alice Claire's decision to adopt two cats from LHS. Claire, Topeka graduate student, originally wanted to adopt one cat, but decided to adopt two when she found a good companion for the first. "I found out both cats had come from the same house and had been in the shelter for six months," she says. "As I was reading the information card, I looked down and they were curled up together, grooming each other. In that moment, I realized I was about to become Mama to two cats instead of one."
Claire's cats, Titania and Oberon (named after characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream), now live happily in their forever home.
HOW DO I ADOPT?
The adoption process at different shelters varies, but many of them require the same basic steps: fill out an application, pass a
1947
simple background check and pay an adoption fee and any medical bills the animal has acquired.
At LHS, you'll fill out a two-sided application form with questions about your current living situation and pets, says Midge Grinstead, LHS's director. On that same form, youll take a quiz of sorts, explaining how you intend to care for the animal.
Then, somebody at the shelter will call your landlord or place of residence to make sure pets are allowed. "You'd be surprised how many people fib about that," Grinstead says. The shelter will also contact your veterinarian if you're already a pet owner to get an idea of your pet-parent history. After approval, you'll have to wait 24 hours to take your new pet home.
At LL, the adoption process is similar, but slightly more in-depth. The shelter works with you to find the right pet for your lifestyle, says O'Neil, the volunteer at LL, and much of that search is based on your application. Because the shelter works primarily with dogs, volunteers will also drive by your home to check on your outdoor space — even screened-in patios are acceptable for certain dog breeds. "We're looking to find you the perfect dog for your home," O'Neil says, "and in return, the perfect family and home for that dog."
Pet adoption isn't a decision to take lightly, but the rewards — for you and your new pet
LHS charges a $50 adoption fee for all animals, plus the cost of medical bills, which varies from one animal to the next. Adopting a pet from LL will run you anywhere from $75 to $350 — pets on the higher end have required or will require more medical attention.
— can be phenomenal. "There are so many animals out there that are cast off, unwanted or born on the streets," says Claire, the happy cat owner. "I can't fathom paying several thousand dollars for an animal when there are so many who need homes."

- Funding cuts are coming from federal and state levels — even if student contributions are relatively small, every little bit helps, especially in preparation for Gov. Brownback's proposed budget, which cuts state funding to community mental health centers completely

A team of 18 geography students is preparing to build and launch a weather balloon 20 miles into the sky.
Take a look at the sky on April 8 and you might see a balloon flying over Lawrence. They call it Project GeoHawk, an assignment in Geography 726, Remote Sensing II.
Weather permitting, the balloon will lift off from one of several possible launch sites on public land around the city. As the balloon rises, the camera will take hundreds of pictures of Lawrence and Douglas County. The students will use the balloon's flight data for several research projects on remote sensing, mapping, image processing and the effects of high-altitude on photography. Because the mission depends on obtaining good photographs,
The balloon will expand in response to the decreasing air pressure as it rises, and the team expects it to pop at about 100,000 feet.
"The cameras worked great," said Kelly Miller, a senior from Waterloo, ill. "If we can get that quality from the flight it will be amazing."
some team members boarded an airplane on Thursday for a test flight, removing one of the aircraft's windows to experiment with a variety of camera settings and lenses.
The entire apparatus will be about 23 feet long, with the balloon measuring four feet wide and six feet tall, pulling a tail strung with a parachute, radar reflectors and two boxes of electronic equipment. The equipment, which includes GPS trackers, will measure internal and external temperatures, air pressure and the orientation of the contraction. A camera will dangle from the end, pointed downward,

Miller said that the vehicle, along with its data, could be destroyed if it lands in Clinton Lake or on Interstate 70. She said Olympus, the camera manufacturer that lent the students two Flagship E-5 cameras, also accepts that possibility and had been promised copyright of any images taken with their equipment.

DOING WITHOUT // FACEBOOK
> Absence makes the heart grow ... ?
It was mid-morning when I turned on my Macbook. My fingers went on auto-pilot and I began to type: www.faceboo — STOP!
I went to my email and felt a sinking feeling in my stomach and a slight gloom gripping my heart. I'd have no notifications since I'd disabled them all the night before. No happy red flags to greet me. No photos to browse through. No comments to read.
This was the start of my seven-day Facebook fast.
Day one was decent. But by day two, the tension had arrived. Insatiable cravings for Facecrack haunted me. That further confirmed my need to detox.

I began to fill my time with other things:
cleaning, organizing and studying. I even wrote a song with a friend and recorded it.
My social network didn't crumble, either. simply employed the good old-fashioned methods of calling people and meeting them face-to-face.
John Wade, a doctor of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at Watkins Health
Center, says that CAPS has helped students struggling with time management. "Facebook has come up as an issue in some of those cases," Wade says. "It's helpful to make a conscious decision to get on for 30 minutes instead of unconsciously logging on and realizing three hours later that you're still on."
My life sans Facebook was surprisingly satisfying. But give it up for good... for real? Doubtful. However, be more strategic with my time rather than wandering aimlessly around Facebook for hours?

Every Monday night, Lawrence Tango Dancers (LTD) offer free Argentine tango lessons above Signs of Life Bookstore and Coffee Shop from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
"Tango is a dance that focuses on connection to one's partner and to the music," Doug Nickel, LTD founder, says. "It's a very freestyle and individualized dance."
For people who are new to tango, LTD first teaches them how to move intuitively with their partners, rather than learning set steps. For Austin Jones, Wichita senior, that skill came with practice. After attending LTD's Bootcamp for beginners, he began going regularly, where more experienced dancers worked with him one-on-one.

Kansas gets by North Dakota in sloppy game
KANSAS
Junior catcher Chris Manship celebrates after making a home run against North Dakota at Hoglund Ballpark. Manship was at bat 3 times on Wednesday, scoring 1 of 5 points for Kansas' 5-3 victory against North Dakota.

The Kansas baseball team came into Wednesday's game against North Dakota hoping to get the bats on track over a winless North Dakota team. Instead, they ended up winning in a 5-3 dogfight victory to get back to 500 at 6-6 on the season.
The Jayhawks recorded a season-high 10 hits in Wednesday's victory over the Fighting Sioux. With the way the bats have been struggling, recording 10 hits sounds like it would make the Jayhawks and coach Ritch Price pleased with their performance at the plate.
Instead, Price and the Jayhawks seemed to think that they took a step backwards at the plate in the Jayhawks sixth victory of the season.
upset after the game.
The Jayhawks only managed to scrap together three earned runs against a North Dakota team that has struggled mightily on the mound this season. The Fighting Sioux came into Wednesday's game with an abysmal team of ERA of 11.65. In North Dakota's three game series with Missouri State, they allowed 9, 12, and 13 runs in those games.

still in a team-wide slump, the problems become mental. Price said the team appears to be trying to force the issue, and the result Wednesday was an unusual amount of pop-ups from the Jayhawks.
One of the few bright spots for Kansas at the plate Wednesday was sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon's performance. DeLeon hit a line drive solo homerun

"I'm feeling pretty good," DeLeon said. "I've been swinging at better pitches, making sure I get a ball elevated in the zone, and just putting a good swing on it."
sophomore starting pitcher Thomas Taylor, who had a
strong performance going 5.2 innings and only giving up one run, seemed much less concerned about the team's batting struggles.
"They're already doing a lot better from the beginning of the year," Taylor said. "They'll be fine."
Another good sign for the Jayhawks today was senior outfielder, Jimmy Waters, getting back on track with two hits today, including a screaming line drive down the right field line that resulted in a double.

"It's got to start with Waters getting it going, and [Casey] Lytle has got to get it going, and [Brandon] Macias has got to get it going," Price said. "For somebody to take the pressure off of the lineup, it's got to be those guys that have been successful in the past."
little option but to keep him there
hute option out to keep them. But there are two problems. First, there may come a game when the Jayhawks' offense isn't running smooth and Selby is the Jayhawks' best option in a broken floor. Watch him play, and you will see the incredible talent buried just beneath the surface. Self acknowledges this.
"He could still be a guy for us this year that comes out and gets 15 or 18 points when we are really struggling," Self said. "He is potentially still that guy. He just needs to have a bit more confidence moving forward."
But Selby has likely never seen the bench for as long as he has this season. He's been the most talented player in almost every gym he walks into. He's never been a sidekick, like he will be to Marcus Morris, even in his finest moments this year.
But still, the perception stands, and it can and will be used against him when the jayhawks get into a recruiting war with any team for any top recruit. Kids in the top 30, roughly, of every recruiting class generally think they are the world's greatest basketball talent. An opposing coach could have an easy go of convincing them that. In Self's system, they will face the same fate as Selby.
The second problem, any coach recruiting against the Jayhawks will happily spout, is that there is now a stigma that Self cannot coach a one-and-done player.
This is obviously and unquestionably ludicrous. Bill Self is a remarkable basketball coach, and his string of seven consecutive titles in one of the most difficult basketball leagues in the country is all the evidence you should need.
But here's the thing about Kansas. This year's team — its most balanced an overall-talented since the title-winning team of 2008 — is built out of three- and four-year players. Marc Morris was ranked No. 29 in his class and Markieff was No. 49. Elijah Johnson is the only five-star recruit that starts, and it's a guarantee that he will be back in Lawrence next season.
So does Kansas even need the top recruits?

RINSE,DRY & REPEAT
THE DIRT ON HOW TO GET YOUR CLOTHES CLEAN
// GABRIELLE SCHOCK
The thought of doing laundry hasn't crossed your mind in weeks. Your smelly hamper is overflowing. You finally break down and dig around for some quarters before dragging your basket and detergent to the laundry room.
But once you get there, the process doesn't get any easier. The washing machine tells you to select a rinse cycle, but which do you choose? Brights? Cold water only? What if you want to wash jeans and your favorite white t-shirt?
Though a lot of college students learn how to do their laundry before leaving home, remembering the basics can be hard when faced with different scenarios. "I knew how to do laundry all through college," Megan Maloney, Wichita junior, says. "But it's hard because the laundry units vary from apartment to apartment, which makes it difficult to know if I'm doing things properly."
If you've experienced the same confusion as Maloney, here's your guide to washing and drying your favorite jeans, t-shirts and even how to combine the two.
WASHING
When Maloney goes to wash her clothing, her first instinct is to combine everything and do one load on a cold setting, which is fine if most of your clothing is dark or colored. "For all lighter or white clothing, always wash on a warm or hot setting," Jorge Ocampo, employee at Eco-logic Dry Cleaners, 2540 Iowa St., Suite A, says.
Most standard washing machines include settings such as "normal or regular," which are appropriate to use when washing whites. However, if you use this setting for colored or dark clothing, you might see some fading in your favorite KU blue t-shirt. Instead, look for a setting that says "permanent press," which will keep your colors bright.
Also, keep in mind the fabrics of your clothing. Marlene Showalter, general manager of Scotch Fabric Care in Topeka, recommends separating "gentle" clothing from tougher items. "You don't want to throw in a soft Ralph Lauren polo shirt or a blouse with jeans," Showalter says.
When washing more delicate items, try not to cram too much laundry into the machine. This
will allow for the washer to fill up with more water, and gentle clothing won't get too beat up, says Showalter.
DRYING
Though washing your clothing properly is important, selecting the correct dryer setting is even more crucial — the wrong temperature could result in too-tight jeans or a t-shirt that could fit a toddler. "The higher the temperature, the more clothing is going to shrink," Ocampo, of Eco-Logic Dry Cleaners, says. "That especially goes for anything that is 100 percent cotton or a cotton blend."
If you want to prevent shrinkage, avoid any setting that says "regular" or "heavy" cycle. This setting will heat your clothing too much, which can be harsh on most fabrics. Instead, choose "permanent press."
The best thing you can do for your clothes is take them out of the dryer a few minutes early and air-dry them. Showalter, general manager at Topeka's Scotch Fabric Care, says to dry clothing 90 percent in the dryer and let the temperature of the room do the rest. "Be careful," she says. "Because a dryer will hurt
A REMINDER
fabrics way more than a washer will."
WHEN TO WASH
So now you know the basics of washing and drying, but how often should you put these tips to use? Danielle Augustine, Lawrence sophomore, says the hardest part of doing laundry is finding the time to do it. "I try to do my laundry every week and a half to two weeks," she says. "Which doesn't seem that often."
Augustine is actually on the right track; washing clothing every two weeks is ideal, though it depends on how much you wear the clothing or how much you've perspired. Letting sweaty or dirty clothing pile up can lead to mold or permanent stains. "Basically, the sooner you wash your clothing, the better," Showalter says.
REMOVING STAINS
Red Wine:
Wet the area with warm water and blot Repeat with club soda if necessary.
Deodorant:
Brush excess deodorant off of fabric before treating. Then, rinse in cold water before washing.
Coffee/Tea:
Like red wine, wet the area and blot with warm water. Repeat with club soda if necessary.
Blood:
Wet the fabric with cold water and blot.
Then, soak the garment with 1/2 serving of liquid detergent for each gallon of water.
Grass:
Soak the stained area with liquid detergent for 20 minutes before washing in warm water.
Ink:
Use rubbing alcohol to blot the stain with a paper towel.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO SPIN THAT RECORD ROUND ON YOUR NEW
TURNTABLE, HERE'S WHERE TO GO FOR ALL YOUR VINYL NEEDS
// MICHAEL BEDNAR
I can't imagine not having an iPod. I can listen to Courtney Love wail like a banshee on my 7:30 a.m. walks to class. I can turn my "Sleep" playlist on for those times when I decide to shirk academic responsibility and take a nap instead. And I can hook Amy Winehouse up to the speakers when I'm in the shower, getting ready to go out for a rousing night on Massachusetts St.
Having said all of this, after getting a turntable as a Christmas present, vinyl is slowly becoming an indispensable part of my life. Putting the record on the turntable, pressing start and hearing the crackle and pop as the needle fits into the groove is unfathomably satisfying.
I'm not the only person who feels this way. Nielsen SoundScan reports show that vinyl sales in the United States are increasing (2.5 million sold in 2009 to 2.8 million sold in 2010), and LPs are no longer the exclusive domain of used record stores, as a trip to Urban Outfitters will confirm.
So if you're considering venturing into the land of LPs, here are a few places in Lawrence to get you started.
Fire won Best Record over Lady Gaga, and you'd like to hear their new album on vinyl. Or maybe you're looking for a long-forgotten, obscure Aretha Franklin record. Either way, you're bound to find some collectible goodies at Love Garden, 822 Massachusetts St. Although Love Garden sells both records and CDs, Kelly Corcoran, manager of the store, says that around 2008, sales tilted in favor of records, and demand for classic albums of the 1960s and 1970s attracted people who were starting their collections. "In a world that seems so artificial and fleeting, this seems tangible and valid," Corcoran says. "Vinyl manifests a tangible feeling for what music lovers want."

You might not find Arcade Fire at Kief's Audio, 2429 Iowa St., but in its corridors you'll find many other bizarre, delicious treasures. What else can you expect when a store selling records has been open since 1959? A recent trip revealed Bette Midler's 1972 debut, Laura Nyro's magnum opus, New York Tendaberry and Neil Young records so gloriously used and

old that they just had to be snatched up.
Kief's takes pride in their collectible and classic items, Steve Wilson, Kief's manager, says. The boom in vinyl sales has only added depth to their collection. Wilson says Kief's employees sometimes go to peoples' homes to pick through extensive collections. Finding treasures in this way certainly pays off for customers at Kief's, many of whom are indeed younger. "To cultivate an interest in something analog and tangible fulfills a certain psychological need," Wilson says. "It's an individuation and separation experience."
Seeing people in their 20s buying records amuses Kelly Cline, an employee at Half Price Books, 1519 W 23rd St. St. Cline grew up on vinyl, so for her it's nothing special, she says. But she understands the desire younger people feel for LPs. "I thought CDs sounded better," Cline says. "Records have that pop. There's some nostalgic aspect of the sound. It's the purity that people like."
HALF PRICE BOOKS
The crackle and pop is one thing Lindin Scott, a fellow employee, loves about records. He started his collection with the Beatles and has never looked back. At Half Price Books, collectible jazz records and classic rock are the two big sellers, and younger people are always buying them, says Scott.
Of course, like with any used record store, Half Price Books is full of obscurities and oddities, and a recent trip Kelly Miller took unearthed such artifacts. Miller, Waterloo, Ill. senior, was particularly taken by the "80s soundtracks, she says. "If I ever find a place that has a stack of records, I always find myself going through them," Miller says. "I could sit on the floor and go through records all day."
Taking Care of Your Records
Vinyl records are not quite as durable as CDs. Here are a few tips every new collector should know.
Cartridge Condition
Storing LPs
If you're going to listen to LPs frequently, invest in a nice turntable, says Kelly Corcoran, manager of Love Garden. A cheap turntable can burn through records quickly.
Store your LPs upright, not lying down. Stacking them on top of each other could lead to scratching or warping.Wilson says.
If you want to get a vintage turntable, make sure the cartridge — the part with the needle that goes into the groove — is in good condition. If it's not, it could harm the album, says Steve Wilson, manager of Kief's.

MOVIE REVIEW // DRIVE ANGRY 3-D
> Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
Nicolas Cage's cash-strapped descent into schlock cinema comes full circle with Drive Angry 3D, a film that at first blush seems indistinguishable from his recent parade of colorful misfires (Sorcerer's Apprentice, Ghost Rider, etc.). But audiences willing to set aside their preconceptions will find much to enjoy in this gloriously trashy supernatural road movie, whose grindhouse sensibilities are further enhanced by a keen sense of self-awareness and geysers of Looney Tune violence. This is true berserker cinema, joining the ranks of recent gonzo efforts Crank: High Voltage and The Good, the Bad and the Weird (both admittedly superior works).
The razor-thin plot involves the devilishly monikered John Milton (Cage), who breaks out of Hell in a tricked-out muscle car to save his infant granddaughter from the murderous clutches of a satanic cult back on earth. Hot on his heels is the well-dressed Accountant (William Fichtner), who seems to function as both the Grim Reaper and the underworld's flashiest lobbyist.
After a few mid-coitus shoot-outs and car chases, Milton hooks up with the foul-mouthed Southern belle Piper (Amber Heard) and exchanges gunfire and badass one-liners with cult leader Jonah (Billy Burke), the Manson-esque eunuch who killed his daughter and in a grisly touch, keeps her scavenged femur bone as his walking stick.
Aside from the flesh and copious vehicular carnage on display, Drive Angry features two indelible highlights. The first is the welcome presence of William Fichtner, who imbues his Accountant with a bemused deadpan charm that makes his every utterance an instantly quotable gem. The second is director Patrick Lussier's utilization of his 3D effects, which come across as crisp, clear and purposeful rather than lazily obligatory. And Cage himself? Well, he always seems like he's having fun. And for once his audience can say the same.

MUSIC REVIEW // SHILPA RAY & HER HAPPY HOOK-ERS - 'TEENAGE & TORTURE' | 2011 (KNITTING FACTORY RECORDS)
> K.JHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption.
★★★☆
Shilpa Ray is a girl-fronted punk group that differentiates itself from the pack with a distinct influence of blues, introspective story telling and a grungy jazz base. Teenage And Torture is this band's second album after releasing A Fish Hook, An Open Eye in 2009 and touring with bands such as Nick Cave's Grinderman, the iconic Acid Mother's Temple and visits to SXSW.
and visits to noticeable aspect of Shilpa Ray & Her Happy Hookers sound is their driving punk rhythms covered up by Shilpa Ray's crooning, desperate and growling voice. Her voice alone could move mountains but gets amplified by 10 with the enjoyable beat from her happy hookers.
SHILPA RAY
Possibly the only standard punk procedure that Shira Ray follows is her choice of song topics. Lots of these songs deal with very dark and vulgar, and often sexual, topics. One song in particular, "Genie's Drugs," is about a boyfriend who left her for a girl named Genie
because she always had better drugs, and how Shilpa Ray needed more money so she could keep him. However, these unfortunate situations turned into solid punk energy for the rest of us to enjoy.
Some songs not to be missed on this album are the poppy, hard-hitting track "Erotolepsy," the opener and fuzzed-out track "Hookers" and the single off the album, "Venus Shaver."

Junior catcher Chris Manship celebrates after making a home run against North Dakota at Hoglund Ballpark. Manship was at bat 3 times on Wednesday, scoring 1 of 5 points for Kansas 5-3 victory against North Dakota.
Kansas gets by North Dakota in sloppy game
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team came into Wednesday's game against North Dakota hoping to get the bats on track over a wireless North Dakota team. Instead, they ended up winning in a 5-3 dogfight victory to get back to 500 at 6-6 on the season.
The Jayhawks recorded a season-high 10 hits in Wednesday's victory over the Fighting Sioux. With the way the bats have been struggling, recording 10 hits sounds like it would make the Jayhawks and coach Ritch Price pleased with their performance at the plate.
Instead, Price and the Jayhawks seemed to think that they took a step backwards at the plate in the Jayhawks sixth victory of the season.
season.
"Today I didn't think the quality of our bats were very good at all." Price said.
upset after the game. The Jayhawks only managed to scrap together three earned runs against a North Dakota team that has struggled mightily on the mound this season. The Fighting Sioux came into Wednesday's game with an abysmal team of ERA of 11.65. In North Dakota's three game series with Missouri State, they allowed 9, 12, and 13 runs in those games.
The reason Coach Price was so upset after the game?
For the Jayhawks to only put a total of five runs on the board, is a major let-down for a team that was hoping to get into a rhythm in this week's games.
"I was really disappointed, to be honest with you", Price said. "We had some really bad at-bats."
still in a team-wide slump, the problems become mental. Price said the team appears to be trying to force the issue, and the result Wednesday was an unusual amount of pop-ups from the lavwhaws.
Now that the Jayhawks are 12 games into their season and are
"There were three consecutive innings where we had six consecutive pop-ups for outs." Price said. "It's guys trying too hard."
said. It might be one of the few bright spots for Kansas at the plate Wednesday was sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon's performance. DeLeon hit a line drive solo homerun
to left field in the bottom of the fifth inning, and he knocked two batters in off two separate sacrifice flies. DeLeon finished one-for-two with three RBIs and a run. DeLeon credits his improving play to better patience at the plate.
plate.
"I'm feeling pretty good," DeLeon said. "I've been swinging at better pitches, making sure I get a ball elevated in the zone, and just putting a good swing on it."
Sophomore starting pitcher Thomas Taylor, who had a
strong performance going 5.2 innings and only giving up one run, seemed much less concerned about the team's batting struggles.
"They're already doing a lot better from the beginning of the year." Taylor said. "They'll be fine."
Another good sign for the Jayhawks today was senior outfielder, Jimmy Waters, getting back on track with two hits today, including a screaming line drive down the right field line that resulted in a double.
Edited by Corey Thibodeaux
For the Jayhawks to get on track, Waters and the other seniors in the middle of the order have to heat up.
"It's got to start with Waters getting it going, and [Casey] Lythe has got to get it going, and [Brandon] Macias has got to get it going," Price said. "For somebody to take the pressure off of the lineup, it's got to be those guys that have been successful in the past."

him play, and you will see the incredible
talent buried just beneath the surface. Self acknowledges this.
But still, the perception stands, and it can and will be used against him when the Jayhawks get into a recruiting war with any team for any top recruit. Kids in the top 30, roughly, of every recruiting class generally think they are the world's greatest basketball talent. An opposing coach could have an easy go of convincing them that. In Self's system, they will face the same fate as Selby.
But Selby has likely never seen the bench for as long as he has this season. He's been the most talented player in almost every gym he walks into. He's never been a sidekick, like he will be to Marcus Morris, even in his finest moments this year.
"He could still be a guy for us this year that comes out and gets 15 or 18 points when we are really struggling," Self said. "He is potentially still that guy. He just needs to have a bit more confidence moving forward."
The second problem, any coach recruiting against the Jayhawks will happily spout, is that there is now a stigma that Self cannot coach a one-and-done player.
But here's the thing about Kansas. This year's team — its most balanced an overall-talented since the title-winning team of 2008 — is built out of three- and four-year players. Marc Morris was ranked No. 29 in his class and Markieff was No. 49. Elijah Johnson is the only five-star recruit that starts, and it's a guarantee that he will be back in Lawrence next season.
So does Kansas even need the top recruits?

SISTER ACT
SOME TALENTS DON'T RUN IN THE FAMILY
// ALEXANDRA ESPOSITO
Thousands of people stand outside the Majestic Theatre in New York City. Vendors are selling red roses and show programs. I'm in line with my grandma, two great aunts and younger sister Francesca, who says she cannot believe that of all the Broadway shows we've seen, we've never been to the longest-running show on Broadway, Phantom of the Opera.
We enter the breathtaking Art Deco theater and find our perfect seats in the center section, nine rows from the stage. The orchestra plays the overture and the first scene begins. An auctioneer is selling his wares from the Paris Opera House. The show consumes us.
Six months later, hundreds of people stand outside the performing arts center at Blue Valley North High School on a Thursday night. My parents and brother walk in ahead of my boyfriend, who I'm hiding behind to avoid faces of teachers I didn't like when I was a student here three years earlier. My sister is backstage doing her hair, makeup and vocal warm-ups. The orchestra plays the overture to Phantom of the Opera, and the memory attached to it makes me cry.
When my 14-year-old sister called to tell me that her high school was doing Phantom, I immediately knew what part she'd get. She had been taking dance lessons with Kansas City Ballet for eight years and had recently switched from dancing in simple, canvas ballet shoes to mastering pointe. Francesca wasn't nervous for Phantom's dance audition. She was excited. When the choreographer asked for girls who had ballet experience she stood up right away, and did an impromptu set of padebures, pique turns and pirouettes.
Contributed Photo
Every year I attended North, I auditioned for that year's musical. Voice lessons and choir classes allowed me to nail the singing audition, but they never prepared me to face the dance auditions. Students had to quickly learn an impossibly difficult dance combination and then perform it perfectly in front of the directors. I have never been graceful. I stumbled over my feet; one year, I even fell. I am not a dancer, but this is something I have accepted.
For my freshman, sophomore and junior year musicals, I was cast as a chorus member. My
senior year, in Thoroughly Modern Millie, I was cast as a girl named Cora. I had one line and a solo, and I thought I was a celebrity. Millie was a dance-heavy show, and the same woman who choreographed it at North also did the choreography for North's Phantom. The Millie dances were tricky, but after months of rehearsal, I was able to mimic the dancers in front of me. Still, the choreographer suggested to us weaker dancers to just move our arms if nothing else. I told my friends that our moves were "step, step, breath in, step, step, breathe out," a joke we still make today.
I didn't have a single doubt that my sister would be in the Phantom's ballet chorus, just like when I knew she'd win her fifth grade science fair for inventing legwarmers that heated up to keep dancers legs toasty. To be a specialty dancer in a North show was an honor given to a few of the show's best dancers. The five or six girls in the ballet chorus got to do exclusive dances throughout the show. Francesca thought that because she was a freshman she wouldn't get the part. When she called to tell me she made the ballet chorus, we were both beyond excited. I immediately demanded that my mom buy me a ticket to see the show each night.
Francesca's next dance is in the "Il Muto" opera scene. After a stagehand is mysteriously hanged from the flies, the opera managers tell the ballet dancers to perform to distract the audience. My sister has to act frazzled, but also has to perform on pointe. I hold my breath
Opening night, Francesca is nervous because her last few dress rehearsals were canceled because of snow days. My sister's first dance is in a scene where the actors are practicing the opera Hannibal. At the crack of a whip, the slaves start dancing to an Arabian tune. Francesca is dancing on the same side of the stage as our seats, so we have a perfect view of her slave costume. Her glissades and attitude turns have precision and flow that I could never achieve. My family and I cheer at the wonderful job she does. It's the most impressive dance we've ever seen her do, even better than when she was the Nutcracker in Kansas City Ballet's The Nutcracker.
SOCIAL RESPONSE TO BOMBING AT CHURCH OF THE NATIVES
as she does a perfect jump through a flower-covered hula-hoop. For her final dance, she waltzes to "Masquerade" in the masked ball scene. I cry when she bows at the end of the show, still remembering the incredible time we had on Broadway.
Seeing Francesca in Phantom made me realize how much she'd grown up. She is the most mature high school freshman I have ever met, which is a godsend, because I don't think I could handle my best friend turning into an angsty teenager. She manages school, cello and ballet lessons and still has time to visit her sister for weekends at KU.
Each night I saw Phantom it got better, until Saturday night, when it was flawless. This night, our seats were three rows from the stage, so we could see Francesca perfectly and she could see us. During a scene where the cast comes into the audience, my sister stood right by my seat, so I waved at her. She couldn't help but break character and give me a little wave and laugh. This reminds me of how much fun I had in shows when I was her age. As much as I loved being on stage, the times I spent backstage playing pranks with my friends, obsessing over boys and goofing around were
Gracing the stage: Alexandra Esposito (left) poses with sister Francesca after attending Blue Valley North's production of Phantom of the Opera.
I never had a part as impressive as ballet chorus at North, but it doesn't bother me. I will support my sister in anything she ever does. And I like the idea she's proving that someone with the last name Esposito can breathe and dance at the same time. Jp
what really made me want to be there. I hope my sister gets the same thing from her theater experiences.

Kansas gets by North Dakota in sloppy game
KANSAS
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team came into Wednesday's game against North Dakota hoping to get the bats on track over a winless North Dakota team. Instead, they ended up winning in a 5-3 dogfight victory to back to 500 at 6-6 on the season.
The Jayhawks recorded a season-high 10 hits in Wednesday's victory over the Fighting Sioux. With the way the bats have been struggling, recording 10 hits sounds like it would make the Jayhawks and coach Ritch Price pleased with their performance at the plate.
Instead, Price and the Jayhawks seemed to think that they took a step backwards at the plate in the Jayhawks sixth victory of the season.
upset after the game.
The Jayhawks only managed to scrap together three earned runs against a North Dakota team that has struggled mightily on the mound this season. The Fighting Sioux came into Wednesday's game with an abysmal team of ERA of 11.65. In North Dakota's three game series with Missouri State, they allowed 9, 12, and 13 runs in those games.
season.
"Today I didn't think the quality of our bats were very good at all." Price said.
The reason Coach Price was so upset after the game?
For the Jayhawks to only put a total of five runs on the board, is a major let-down for a team that was hoping to get into a rhythm in this week's games.
"I was really disappointed, to be honest with you," Price said. "We had some really bad at-bats."
Now that the Jayhawks are 12 games into their season and are
still in a team-wide slump, the problems become mental. Price said the team appears to be trying to force the issue, and the result Wednesday was an unusual amount of pop-ups from the lavihawks.
One of the few bright spots for Kansas at the plate Wednesday was sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon's performance. DeLeon hit a line drive solo homerun
"There were three consecutive innings where we had six consecutive pop-ups for outs." Price said. "It's guys trying too hard."
to left field in the bottom of the fifth inning, and he knocked two batters in off two separate sacrifice flies. DeLeon finished one-for-two with three RBIs and a run. DeLeon credits his improving play to better patience at the plate.
"I'm feeling pretty good," DeLeon said. "I've been swinging at better pitches, making sure I get a ball elevated in the zone, and just putting a good swing on it."
Sophomore starting pitcher Thomas Taylor, who had a
"They're already doing a lot better from the beginning of the year," Taylor said. "They'll be fine."
Another good sign for the Jayhawks today was senior outfielder, Jimmy Waters, getting back on track with two hits today including a screaming line drive down the right field line that resulted in a double.
strong performance going 5.2 innings and only giving up one run, seemed much less concerned about the team's batting struggles.
Edited by Corey Thibodeaux
“It's got to start with Waters getting it going, and [Casey] Lytle has got to get it going, and [Brandon] Macias has got to get it going.” Price said. “For somebody to take the pressure off of the lineup, it's got to be those guys that have been successful in the past.”
For the Jayhawks to get on track, Waters and the other seniors in the middle of the order have to heat up.
little option but to keep him there
But still, the perception stands, and it can and will be used against him when the lajahaws get into a recruiting war with any team for any top recruit. Kids in the top 30, roughly, of every recruiting class generally think they are the world's greatest basketball talent. An opposing coach could have an easy go of convincing them that. In Self's system, they will face the same fate as Selby.
This is obviously and unquestionably ludicrous. Bill Self is a remarkable basketball coach, and his string of seven consecutive titles in one of the most difficult basketball leagues in the country is all the evidence you should need.
hite option is not. But there are two problems. First, there may come a game when the Jayhawks' offense isn't running smooth and Selby is the Jayhawks' best option in a broken floor. Watch him play, and you will see the incredible talent buried just beneath the surface. Self acknowledges this.
But here's the thing about Kansas. This year's team — its most balanced an overall-talented since the title-winning team of 2008 — is built out of three- and four-year players. Marc Morris was ranked No. 29 in his class and Markieff was No. 49. Elijah Johnson is the only five-star recruit that starts, and it's a guarantee that he will be back in Lawrence next season.
surface. She said,
"He could still be a guy for us this year that comes out and gets 15 or 18 points when we are really struggling," Self said. "He is potentially still that guy. He just needs to have a bit more confidence moving forward."
But Selby has likely never seen the bench for as long as he has this season. He's been the most talented player in almost every gym he walks into. He's never been a sidekick, like he will be to Marcus Morris, even in his finest moments this year.
The second problem, any coach recruiting against the Jayhawks will happily spout, is that there is now a stigma that Self cannot coach a one-and-done player.
So does Kansas even need the top recruits?

Part one of the fairy tale won't happen.
The Jayhawks wanted, badly, to take down both teams who beat them in the regular season. They had a chance for the dream script to play out when the bracket was released, with potential meetings with Kansas State and Texas slated for the semis and finals, respectively.
But Kansas State didn't hold up its end of the bargain, falling for the third time this season to Colorado, this time by a count of 87-75, and setting up a far less anticlimactic rematch between the Buffalooes and the Jahwhaws.

to that game just like their guys will," Self said before the Kansas State loss. "I think it could be a fun deal. They have a tough game to play first."
The Wildcats, though, maybe looked ahead too soon, and the Buffaloes took advantage. So the Jayhawks will have to adjust, get over the disappointment of not getting a shot at their rival, and focus on shutting down the potent Colorado offense.
The Buffaloes are led by two of the Big 12's top eight scorers in Alec Burks, who finished with 24 points, and Cory Higgins, who led all scorers with 28 points in the victory against Kansas State.

XII KILLS CONFIDENCE
Proposed budget cuts anger students, ignites petitions
NCAA brackets announced on ESPN on Sunday at 6 p.m.
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
The Student Senate finance committee proposed cutting all funding from the required campus fees to four community health services - the Douglas County AIDS Project,
Headquarters, GaDuGi SafeCenter and Willow Domestic Violence Center — on Tuesday.
By Thursday, dozens of students had expressed their disapproval of the measure.
Matthew Blankers, a graduate student in social work from Clearmont,
Calif., and a former senator, printed and distributed 250 fliers promoting students to contact senators. The budget would remove all funding from the Willow Center starting next year and all funding for the

Proposed reallocation of student fees
$11.41 from student fees to block allocation per semester
$2.11 from student fees to Douglas County AIDS Project, Headquarters, GaDuGi SafeCenter and Willow Domestic Violence Center
$428.95 Total student fees per semester
ARGUMENTS IN BRIEF:
Wants to cut all funding for the Douglas County AIDS Project, Headquarters, GaDuGi SafeCenter and Willow Domestic Violence Center from the student activity fee by fiscal year 2012; funding for these services is currently $2.11 of $11.41 (18 percent of total).
Student Senate finance committee:
- They say they don't want these services to lose funding but believe they should not be funded through the Student Senate activity fund
- Plan to set up a taskforce to find ways to fund these services outside the activity fee
  Sources: David Cohen, treasurer; Aaron Döllinger, chief of staff
- The Douglas County AIDS Project, Headquarters, GaDuGi SafeCenter and Willow Domestic Violence
- Funding cuts are coming from federal and state levels—even if student contributions are relatively small, every little bit helps, especially in preparation for Gov. Brownback's proposed budget, which cuts state funding to community mental health centers completely
- Wants funding to remain at $2.11 per student, per semester

Student-made weather balloon to be launched in April for research
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Weather permitting, the balloon will lift off from one of several possible launch sites on public land around the city. As the balloon rises, the camera will take hundreds of pictures of Lawrence and Douglas County. The students will use the balloon's flight data for several research projects on remote sensing, mapping, image processing and the effects of high-alitude on photography. Because the mission depends on obtaining good photographs,
Take a look at the sky on April 8 and you just might see a balloon flying over Lawrence. They call it Project GeoHawk, an assignment in Geography 726, Remote Sensing II.
A team of 18 geography students is preparing to build and launch a weather balloon 20 miles into the sky.
"The cameras worked great," said Kelly Miller, a senior from Waterloo, Ill. "If we can get that quality from the flight it will be amazing."
some team members boarded an airplane on Thursday for a test flight, removing one of the aircraft's windows to experiment with a variety of camera settings and lenses.
"We have no idea where it's going to land," he said. "It could land 300 miles downwind or in
The balloon will expand in response to the decreasing air pressure as it rises, and the team expects it to pop at about 100,000 feet.
The self-destruction of the balloon will release the parachute, as it returns to earth. GeoHawk team member Ryan Callihan, a graduate student from Lenexa, said the team would track the vehicle's entire flight, but could not predict the landing exactly.
Miller said that the vehicle, along with its data, could be destroyed if it lands in Clinton Lake or on Interstate 70. She said Olympus, the camera manufacturer that lent the students two Flagship E-5 cameras, also accepts that possibility and had been promised copyright of any images taken with their equipment.
The entire apparatus will be about 23 feet long, with the balloon measuring four feet wide and six feet tall, pulling a tail strung with a parachute, radar reflectors and two boxes of electronic equipment. The equipment, which includes GPS trackers, will measure internal and external temperatures, air pressure and the orientation of the contraption. A camera will dangle from the end, pointed downward,

Committee considers dean finalists
twilliamson@kansan.com
BY TAYLOR WILLIAMSON twilliamson@kansan.com
The University of Kansas School of Law remains without a dean, but the search may be coming to an end.
As the second of three finalists for the position visited the University yesterday, interested parties were provided with another potential possibility of who would be taking over the vacant position of law dean, a post that has been vacant since early last year.
One reason that the process has lasted so long is because of a
failure for the search committee and the provost to see eye to eye on the ideal candidate. The search committee sent a candidate to the provost for approval last winter, and was not approved.
"It just didn't work. There were various candidates who came to campus, the committee made its recommendations, and ultimately no dean was hired," said Chris Drahozaal, law professor and chair of the search committee.
Despite the setback, the committee is still hard at work searching for a new dean. So far, two out of the three candidates have
been announced. The first is Jeffery Lipshaw, professor of law at Suffolk University, who visited the University last week. The second, Beverly Moran, a professor of law and sociology at Vanderbilt University, visited yesterday.
"We had one candidate in last week, one in this week and one in next week," said Drahozal. "And then the committees going to meet and hopefully get its recommendation to the provost before spring break."
Moran touched on a variety of things in her 45-minute session, including how to raise the
University's international profile and how she would define her management style.
Drahozal also talked about how important it was for the School of Law to have a dean in place.
"The main thing that it is that without a dean a lot of things are put on hold and things really slow down" said Drahozal. "The dean just really provides that leadership"
The name of next candidate will be announced approximately 48 hours before arrival.

Kansan speaks about advanced cars
QA
Learn about the new model of electric cars, they're up and downs, and more
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Paul Wilbur, Kansas native and executive at Aptera Motors in California, gave a talk at Summerfield Hall on Thursday. His topic was the future of electric cars. Wilbur earned his bachelor's degree and an MBA in finance from the University. He has been an automotive professional for 26 years, working for Jeep, Dodge Car, Chrysler and Mitsubishi. He now works for Aptera, a company specializing in the design of electric cars. He sat down with representatives of the media before his talk on Thursday. Below is an edited version of the interview.
Q: Why is there a lot of momentum behind the idea of electric vehicles right now?
the federal deficit that everyone is fighting over. It's all about oil.
A: Oil. In the 1960s, America was the largest producer of oil in the world. Now, every year we consume 15 million barrels more than we produce. That's $500 billion, which is about the amount of
Q: What problems stand between the electric car and widespread adoption by the public?
the price of oil goes up,it's good for me.
A: The battery. Now, lithium ion batteries give us the energy density to go 100 miles. The compromise is distance. Our goal is to have a vehicle that has no compromises.
Q: What will Aptera's cars cost?
Q: Your cars are available in California now. Is there a timeline for the rest of the country?
Light, strong, low cap ex. body energy consumed, especially at low speeds
President and CEO of Motera Motors Paul Wilbur discusses the electric car industry with students at Spenser Art Museum Auditorium March 10, 2011. Global energy and environmental challenges make electric car concepts promising for investors.
A: The timetable is bounded by capital constraints. Once the capital is there, I think we'll move very quickly. President Obama said that he wanted to see one and a half million electric and hybrid cars on the road in the next few years. I believe in that. The Department of Energy has said that by 2020, the number should be doubled and buy 2030 they should make up half the cars out there. I think those numbers are way off - it all depends on the price of oil. I'm probably the only guy in the country who, when
Q: What is your company's core engineering strength?
A: We have multiple vehicles: two-doors, four-doors, pure electrics, hybrids. They range from the high $20,000s to the low $40,000s, depending on the features. Very affordable is the key for us, the heart of the market.
Q: Some of your models have an unusual appearance. Is that a question of aesthetics or engineering?
A: The two-door has a very distinctive look; the four-door is more conventional-looking. We're trying to make a dramatic point. This is the future. But it's also about aerodynamics. The two-door was literally made in a wind tunnel. The first principles of engineering are: make it light and make it aerodynamic.
A: The cars' composite construction body. The battery and the motor train are made by other firms, but our bodies can withstand 35 mile-per-hour impacts with a concrete wall and the passenger walks away. You can hit it with a sledgehammer and it won't dent. And my father was in construction, I know how to swing a sledgehammer.
Q: What will be your main message to the students today?
A: A good engineering background and business background are crucial in the world today. America has had problems in education in terms of keeping up with technology. But when we started looking at making electric cars, we found that all the technology was here. I'm really happy with what the EcoHawks have been doing - a few years ago, that wasn't here.

The New Tradition Coalition hopes to stop fake ID usage. They hope to raise alcoholism awareness.
Coalition creates new initiatives for awareness
BY MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com
If you clicked on a Facebook ad last semester offering fake IDs in Lawrence, you're not alone. More than 5,000 other people did, too.
The ad was created by the New Tradition Coalition, an organization that includes law enforcement, local bar owners and school and health officials. The ad was just one of the coalition's efforts to increase awareness about alcohol abuse and underage drinking.
"The number of people that we have documented as clicking on the ad were between the ages of 16 and 20," said Jen Jordan, director of prevention for the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism. "This is just representative of the fact that underage drinking is a big issue in Lawrence and at KU."
In the spring of 2010, the project "Fake ID 101" was launched. The Lawrence Police Department, the Douglas County Sheriffs Department, the KU Public Safety Office, the DCCCA and the Alcoholic Beverage Patrol all combined forces to enact it.
When Fake ID 101 began, its main method for combatting underage drinking was to send officers into bars to ask patrons for identification. Officers were out on four separate nights and gave out 48 citations for alcohol violations.
KU Public Safety Office captain Schuyler Bailey said that when teams go out, they are made up of police, sheriff and University officers.
"This just wasn't working," Jordan said. "Kids would immediately set down their drinks and walk away or go to the bathroom. The officers stood out and anyone who was underage would leave."
Last fall, officers were out on nine separate nights. Overall, 731 IDs were checked, 105 citations were written for minors in possession of alcohol and 60 citations were written for fake IDs.
The increase in citations was due the officers' new methods, which included wearing plain clothes, checking IDs outside bars and liquor stores, patrolling the KU area on football game days and visiting house parties.
Alycia Futrella, a manager at On The Rocks liquor store, said officers have visited the store and stood at the end of check-out lanes to check IDs of customers.
"Fake IDs are probably more likely to be used at bars than at liquor stores," Futrelle said. "Bars are darker; it's harder to see the picture. And when a customer uses a credit card, we check to make sure it matches the name on their ID."
"When you are in a college town, it is reasonable to think that kids are from all over the country," Jordan said. "Kansas IDs are more difficult to fraud. When kids buy fake IDs online, they are almost always out of state."
To help with this issue, the New Tradition Coalition will provide bars and liquor stores with a book that has a photo of every state ID and its marking characteristics.
Jordan said it was often hard for clerks or doormen to spot fake IDs because state IDs change so often.
"A lot of students are either getting fake IDs to take on spring break or getting them when they get there," Jordan said. "Destinations like Florida and Mexico have spots set up that have them for sale, so officers will be looking for these."
As spring break nears, Jordan said bar and liquor store employees would be warned to look for an increase of fake IDs.

The exact dates of bar and liquor store visits were not disclosed. The possession of a borrowed, altered or fake ID may result in fines up to $2,500 and one year in jail.

"My hope is that no one would need these services, but if someone needs these services, I would hope they would be there for the students." Blankers said.
Student Senate treasurer David Cohen said the cuts to the four health groups were not proposed to increase funding to any other particular group.
"A lot of the anger is because people don't quite understand," Dollinger said.
Olivia Burchett, the outreach coordinator for DCAP, said cutting funding to her organization or any of the others would "be a great disservice to all students."

Chief of Police improves enforcement
Tarkik Khatib, who was named Lawrence police chief two weeks ago, plans to improve law enforcement in the city through prevention, education and the concentration of department resources.
Khatib, former interim police chief for six months, said the first goal of his three-pronged plan was to make housing and businesses in Lawrence physically less susceptible to crime.
"For example, if you go to an apartment complex, put good lighting around it, well lit paths." Khatib said. "Instead of having a cheap wood fence, spend a little money to get the iron kind that you can see through."
The second component of Khatib's plan would be to educate members of the community about protecting themselves from crime. Khatib said this would include improving transparency and communication between the police department and the public. David
"I think that the police department needs to continue to find ways to communicate with the public," Corliss said. "Fifteen years ago we weren't so concerned with website communication. Now, that's where most people are getting their information so it's important to have that presence."
Corliss, Lawrence city manager,
shares this goal.
During the last few months, the Lawrence Police Department has improved its website by including an interactive crime map and 911 call log. It also shares information through Facebook.
prevent being a VICTIM OF CRIME according to Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib
how to:
By following these simple guidelines suggested by Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib, you can help reduce the amount of crime that happens to you and in your community.
2) Plan ahead when going out so that you are less likely to be victimized
1) Don't leave your expensive things visible in your vehicle; take your things inside with you
Khatib's third goal is to address internal issues. Khatib said the majority of crimes are committed by a small percentage of the population. He said he wanted to use resources more efficiently by focusing on the people more likely to commit crimes.
3) If you go out to a bar, go out with friends and take care of each other
4) Think like a bad guy, if you think you are in a situation where you might be taken advantage of, fix it
Both Khatib and Corliss agree the department is running well, but there are areas to improve.
5) if you can't think of any solution to a predicament you, might be in, call the police for help
"I follow a philosophy of continuous improvement," Corliss said.
"That's true for any city department. There's always opportunities to improve."
Khatib also said he hoped to better address student crime. The department is changing the way it educates young victims through the Internet and is also increasing communication with student perpetrators.
Corrliss and Khatib said they hoped these measures would
reduce crime and help the department's relationship with citizens.
"Our commitment to the public is high," Khatib said. "We want to treat people right, to listen to them; we want to give them the time to explain their side. We're constantly reminded we have to earn our badge every day."

'Battle' follows tradition of old World War II films
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Before we begin, a moment of silence please for all the brick and mortar that made the ultimate sacrifice for "Battle: Los Angeles." Sob. Let me just grab a tissue. Sorry.
the local freeways.
Let us not forget the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air either. The pyrotechnics are patriotic, sizable and clearly the star of "Battle: Los Angeles," so don't let the tight shots of Aaron Eckhart's chiseled jaw and cleft chin fool you.
The movie, directed by Jonathan Liebesman, is very much in the tradition of those old World War II films you find on late-night cable with rickety fighter planes engaged in long skirmishes that you can't follow all that well except you know a few good men are trying to save the day. But with less story and instead of Germans or Japanese for hostiles, we get hordes of vengeful aliens, their monstrous UFOs choking the L.A. skies like rush hour on
Chris Bertolini's script is totally predictable from the first few moments when Eckhart's Marine staff sergeant signs his discharge papers only to have them put on hold. It's not really about acting either, though Eckhart does his best to play the hero, lead his little band of brothers (and a sister), save some civilians, including kids in case the stakes weren't high enough, while delivering stagy lines in a teeth-clenching growl: "Retreat? Hell. We just got here."
Nope, "Battle: Los Angeles" is all about the boom-boom as Santa Monica by way of Baton Rouge, La., where the movie was actually shot, is reduced to rubble. But, as the title suggests, L.A. is on the firing line, so the city's skyline is blown to bits. Burning, broken, blackened bits. So if that what you're in the mood for, that is what the film delivers, endlessly, but in that cheesy-camp way that can make a bad movie good fun.
The story opens with an
unknown military force and its complicated-looking flying battleships strafing most of the big cities around the world for unknown reasons. It turns out they are aliens in search of water. But before we know what or who, the U.S. military is mobilized, civilians are evacuated, and the battles begin.
The alien forces, for that's what all the hoo-ha is all about, are a wild bunch. They come roaring in, in their big black "Transformers" like machines, wrecking mayhem. Yet on the ground they look silvery and slim, kind of stylish, prissing their way through all the mess they've made as though they don't want to get their silver shoes dirty.
All of this unfolds in either headache-inducing shaky camera close-ups or long shots of explosions. Director of photography Lukas Ettlin was the one in charge of trying to shoot everything from the Marines' point of view, thus the shake, rattle and roll of battle extends to everyone watching.

'Red Riding Hood' blends romance, horror, fairytale
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — The horrortinged romance of "Red Riding Hood" is at its heart nothing more than a fashionable fairy tale version of what's all the rage in teen love stories these days. The basic formula includes a moody beauty falling for the wrong boy, who may actually be a vampire-alien-werewolf-whatever. Can "Pinocchio at 15" be far behind?
With "my, what big eyes you have" Amanda Seyfried the girl in the scarlet cloak and that edgy shaman of young angst, Catherine Hardwicke, in the director's chair, the movie comes with great expectations. So it kills me to say — or at least it bothers me a lot — that what we have here is a sheep in our clothing.
Gorgeously shot, smartly conceived, cleverly cast, badly executed — the lush medieval beauty here is at best only skin deep. Within this forest dark and deep.
David Leslie Johnson's screenplay finds its ominous undertones in the earliest versions of the Red Riding Hood story — before the beast in Grandma's bonnet was defanged for modern children's
Though Valerie is smitten with Peter, he's poor, so V's mom has someone else in mind. A marriage to the village's Richie Rich is arranged — that would be Henry (the scion of Jeremy Irons, Max). Soon Miss Bright Eyes is being torn between the two, and there's a bad moon rising. For this is a town in the stranglehold of a werewolf, and this particular season of the wolf is the one in which his bite comes with transformative power for some, death for others, starting with Valerie's sister.
the two ax men to watch for are Cesaire (Billy Burke) as a drunk of a father to Seyfried the Valerie and the young hunk Peter, played by Shiloh Fernandez ("Skateland"), whose eyes fairly crackle with mischief and manace.
Sometimes, it's literate and lofty,
as when the fire-and-brimstone Father Solomon (Gary Oldman in purple velvet) comes to rid the town of its wolf problem and remind us of how creative implements of torture can be. More of the time, it's mind-numbingly simplistic and served up on a platter like leftovers.
delicate sensitivities. The "evil dwells among us" premise is a fine one that has fueled many a thriller in countless imaginative ways. It's the dialogue that is problematic.
That, as much as the wolf, is one of the great tragedies of this tale. There is also a problem on the terror front. The visual effects work until the wolf starts talking, killing off the fear factor faster than the villagers.
K
I'm not sure which is the greater tragedy here: That all of "Red Riding Hood's" promise was squandered? Or that it was clearly designed with a sequel in mind? Growl.

Relay to help change the future of cancer
EDITORIAL
Walk a lap, save a life. There has to be a catch, right?
Not this time.
This year marks the eighth consecutive Relay for Life event at the University of Kansas. Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society's biggest event of the year. Nationally, 3.5 million people participate by raising awareness and money to fight cancer
While some days it seems like the University was built on the only hill in Kansas, walking itself is never a chore. It's as easy as placing one foot in front of the other. And that's All Relay for Life asks of its participants.
It starts with a simple concept: cancer never sleeps, so neither will the participants. That is why the event will
take place from 6 p.m. April 15 to 6 a.m. April 16.
For 12 hours, participants will walk around the track inside Memorial Stadium. Teams made up of 8 to 15 people are required to have at least one team member on the track at all times. Early Bird registration to sign up a team for $5 ends March 25. The price increases to $10 per team member after that.
According to the American Cancer Society website, the evening starts off with a Survivor's Lap to celebrate "a world with more birthdays." The luminaria ceremony takes place after dark. Participants pay tribute to those who were lost to cancer by lighting a candle in their honor and walking a lap in
silence. The event closes with the fight back ceremony where all participants pledge to save lives and to continue to fight cancer.
Let's put those famous "KU calves" to work. This is only one night of your life. Be a part of something important and bigger than yourself. Celebrate and share in the victories of cancer survivors, support people in the midst of their battle and honor those lost. Everyday science is making leaps and bounds toward prevention and better treatment methods, but these things require funding. Extensive funding.
unpredictable.
We're young and full of energy; these are the days of our lives when we can make a difference. Today we may be relatively healthy but the future is
Who knows? Down the road you might even be helping yourself. It only takes a step.
According to the 2010 report from the National Cancer Institute, 41 percent of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and 21 percent will ultimately die. When you participate in Relay for Life you may be helping your third grade teacher battle skin cancer or be improving your favorite aunt's chemotherapy treatment.

RELIGION
Develop personal definition of religion to grow spiritually
Articles are constantly written about religion: How to practice it, develop it and experience it. But what is religion anyway?
It could mean a belief in a supernatural power to one person and to another, it could mean humans trying to figure out how they fit in this world and the universe.
Several dead white male philosophers have given this topic quite a bit of thought. Each putting their two cents into the contribution bowl of ideas. While going through the religious studies program and in several of my other classes here at the University, philosophers such as Durkheim, Freud, Marx, Nietzsche and Descartes have been drilled into my head.
POLINIKA MORGAN
Although Durkheim believed religion was just a way to express one's role in society, Nietzsche thought religion was very individualistic, with individuals creating their own moral code.
But what about my thoughts and opinions on religion? While I am no philosopher, I believe my experiences and education have entitled me to some opinions. I believe that it is important and necessary to faith to develop a definition of why one practices a certain religion or why one thinks there is religion in the world.
Apparently, an important part of studying religion is understanding these philosophers' thoughts, as well as how and why they came to their conclusions.
Now you don't have to write a book about the origins of religion (unless you really wanted to) to develop your opinions. Drawing from scripture,
BY ALLISON BOND abond@kansan.com
traditions of your faith, personal experience or reason can help one start to develop what religion and faith means to them personally.
Developing opinions about religion helps us to better place ourselves in this world of religious thought. How do we interact with the world around us? Socially? Individually? Materialistically? Ritually? Developing our own definitions of religion for ourselves can help us grow spiritually. We have to ask ourselves why we believe what we believe.
So don't be afraid to come up with your own. What does religion mean to you personally? What do you think it means for others? Who knows what you will learn about yourself or other's beliefs and practices when it comes to religion.
What I did learn from all that cramming and reading of philosophy, however, is that there is no one true definition of religion. Try as they might, no one has been able to come up with where religion originated from, or a definition that encompasses all religions and beliefs.

ANIMAL RIGHTS
I know many good people who eat meat. Still, I wonder how people can be outraged by animal cruelty like Michael Vick's dog fighting but not horrified by the slaughter of billions of animals in the U.S. every year. Why are people moved to adopt from an animal shelter but not moved by the plight of animals that end up on the dinner plate?
Animal slaughter for human consumption is morally indefensible
This cognitive dissonance suggests that people who still eat meat are either ignorant of the full ramifications of their choice or have failed to think it through. With knowledge comes responsibility, and I'm about to give you both.

rape. Why?
Why?
Meat eating violates this basic principle. Science has proven that animals feel intense physical and psychological pain. Modern farming methods cause suffering, and killing also brings pain. If you have watched a loved one pass on, you know that death is a difficult and painful process, even with the best medical care.
Causing pain to others for one's own benefit or enjoyment is unacceptable in human society. This basic principle is not relative; we don't say "for you, maybe murder is acceptable, but for me it's wrong."
Every time you eat meat, an animal must be killed to fill the demand you created. If you eat meat, you are causing extreme pain for many animals.
People argue that eating animals is
humanity's right because of our intelligence. This argument is faulty. Because of issues at birth or injury, some humans are less intelligent than animals. Still, we protect those lives and interests. Fetuses are unintelligent, but many people advocate for their protection. Also, cruelty towards dogs is widely thought of as wrong, but pigs are smarter than dogs and are much more cruelly treated.
Our society has demonstrated values indicate that intelligence is not a sound basis for inflicting harm on other creatures.
MEAT IS NOT NECESSARY
In most legal systems, killing in self-defense is an exception to the rule against murder when it is necessary to preserve another life. Eating meat is not similarly justifiable. Worldwide, hundreds of millions of healthy people rarely or never eat meat. Even elite athletes have competed as vegetarians. It's a debunked myth that we need meat for protein and iron. Being a healthy vegetarian is simple and inexpensive, especially because American supermarkets provide other foods in abundance.
Eating meat is about pleasure, not necessity. Meat eaters cause the worst kind of suffering to countless animals

because it makes their taste buds tingle nicely. Murder requires compelling justification, and flavor just isn't sufficient.
I know first hand that changing the diet you were raised with is hard. I used to rationalize away my sense of responsibility: it's too difficult, I have more important things going on and my family won't get it. I bet many smart, compassionate people get to this point and stall out.
These rationalizations are weak in the face of the consequences of meat eating. Buck up. You can start with small steps. Every time you choose the vegetarian option at dinner or skip the bacon at breakfast, you are taking part in saving a very real animal from very horrible suffering.
Just don't stop there.

Marcus Morris shows leadership in hard times

Junior forward Marcus Morris fights for a loose ball in the second half Thursday. Kansas defeated Oklahoma State 63-62.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Despite not being named a unanimous selection for the All-Big 12 First Team by the coaches, junior forward Marcus Morris showed why he is the conference's Player of the Year in Kansas' 63-62 victory against Oklahoma State.
was going to stop him.
"For times I wasn't open at all, but for that one time I was definitely open and I thought I should have got it," Morris said. "I talked to Elijah and I told him that You're our point guard; you're our starting point guard. You have to have some awareness and know what's going on."
Morris thinks Johnson is going to get better, especially since Johnson has never really been in that position before.
tion before:
It could have been the demise for Kansas, who narrowly escaped with the victory, but the layawhaws live to play another day in Kansas City. Morris is showing his leadership when it matters most. He wants the ball when the game comes down to
Oklahoma State.
In the waning seconds of the game Morris wanted the ball in his hands. He kept calling for it, and the shot clock continued to tick down. Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson elected not to pass it to Morris and instead gave it to senior guard Brady Morningstar, who shot an air ball. When Morris didn't get the ball, all that he was thinking about was trying to get the rebound, and no one was going to stop him.

"I definitely want it in my hand," Morris said. "I definitely think that I can make a play, not saying, necessarily, I want to shoot it, but I feel like if it's in my hand I can at least bring more attention to me and be able to kick it or get a bucket."

Morris scored 16 points, but only four came in the second half. The biggest bucket was a 25-foot three-pointer that put Kansas up by four,
58-54, with 4:09 remaining. He also added nine offensive rebounds.
On Thursday Marcus kept his composure. Coach Bill Self didn't think Oklahoma State was trying to bait the Morris twins.
things I can say.
Morris's brother Markteff was surprised Marcus didn't get the technical, given the twin's reputation, but knew he wouldn't when Marcus was on the ground. In the first matchup in Lawrence on Feb. 21, Oklahoma State senior forward Matt Pilgrim was trying to provoke Morris.
"I didn't ignore him. In the beginning of the game, he just gave me a little bump to show me that he was there and I gave him 27 shoulder knobs back," Marcus said on Feb.
added nine offensive shots. Morris is pegged as a "dirty" player. He has picked up technical and intentional fouls this season, with the latest being an intentional foul on March 5. Today, he was very even-keened. Morris had two shots blocked by freshman Markel Brown, and after both of them Brown was trash talking at Morris. After the second one, Brown was called for a technical foul.
"I didn't sense that at all tonight." Self said. "I didn't sense that at all. And if they do, they do. But my guys have also been guilty on the other
"Whatever he said got him the tech," Morris said. "I can't really repeat what he said. But it's all in the game. He was happy that he got those blocks. But he said some things I can't say."

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
The Jayhawks managed some good things in the victory, most of them in the second half. After giving up 41 points in the first half, Kansas clamped down and allowed 20 fewer in the second. Kansas shot worse from the field in the second half (a miserable 31.3 percent), but managed to win the half by seven, thanks to the stifling defense.
"Our guys really didn't make too many shots," Marcus Morris said. "But, I mean, they've been making them all year. So we're going to live and die with those guys shooting."
Perhaps the most impressive thing about the second half was that Kansas' comeback came largely without the help of Morris, who was awarded his Big 12 Player of the Year trophy a few minutes before tipoff. He was on the floor for most of the second half, but managed only four points after the break, despite foul trouble on the inside
for Oklahoma State. The Cowboys top three posts pouled out over the course of the game.
course of the game.
Instead of Morris, Mario Little took over in the second half, putting up eight points in eight minutes of action when the Cowboys switched to zone to counter the foul trouble.
"I feel like the game is slower when teams go zone," Little said, "so it's kind of for easy to make moves in there."
Little's success aside, the Jayhawks' rally was entirely predicated on their defensive strength, which, earlier in the season, had let them down on occasion. Thursday was a different story.
"We did guard and rebound the second half." Self said. "And we really feel fortunate to have won considering how we shot the basketball."

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Colorado's Cory Higgins and Alec Burks are rolling right now, and there's no reason to think the Jayhawks will be able to shut them down. Slow them, sure, but trying to stop them cold is a fool's errand. Elijah Johnson (on Higgins) and Brady Morningstar (on Burks) will draw the defensive matchups. If one of them manages to get their man cold, there's not enough help on the Colorado roster for the Buffaloes to pull the upset. The Buffaloes likely played their way into the NCAA Tournament with a win yesterday, but they'll want it bad today regardless, just to put their minds at ease.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Senior guard Tyrel Reed
Reed's foot injury, which coach Bill Self said in his weekly press conference Monday would require surgery after the season,
Reed
is starting to clearly hamper him. He's still playing major minutes for Kansas — more than 30 in each of the last four games — but, especially over
the last two games, he hasn't been quite as effective. In those two he's shooting just 4-of-15 and just 2-of-11 from long range. It wouldn't be too surprising to see Reed get some rest Friday, play significantly fewer minutes, in order to get him ready for the NCAA Tournament, which is obviously far more important to the Jayhawks.
Will the Jayhawks look ahead to potential meeting with Texas?
QUESTION MARK
The Jayhawks didn't get their dream schedule with rematches against Kansas State and Texas, but there's still a potential meeting with the Longhorns, who looked excellent in sending Oklahoma into the offseason, looming on the horizon. Prior to the tournament, the Jayhawks made no secret of wanting a shot at the Longhorns, and their forward thinking may have been a partial cause of the near slip-up against Oklahoma State. Colorado has far more talent, though, with a lottery pick and another potential NBAer playing on the perimeter. If Kansas loses focus today, it could be headed for the consolation game.

STARTERS
Nicola Johnson
Elijah Johnson, guard
In two games against the Buffaloes this season, Johnson has played 21 minutes and scored two points, while Cory Higgins and Alec Burks ran roughshod over the Kansas defense. It's safe to say his role has changed a bit. Johnson has reinvented himself as a defender and will likely draw the assignment of guarding Higgins, the Big 12's eighth-leading scorer.
★★★☆☆
Reed
Tyrel Reed, guard
Reed, the Jayhawks best three-point shooter and free throw shooter, wasn't on the floor at the end of a tight game yesterday. That pretty clearly says that his foot is bothering him more than he'd care to admit. He already is missing practices for it, and if Self were going to rest him a game this would be it. He was awful from the field Thursday, hitting just 1-of-8 and 3-of-6 free throws.
M. SAVELY
Morningstar
★★★☆☆
Brady Morningstar, guard
Mc. Morris
What I wrote about Morningstar for yesterday's game: "Morningstar is and always has been the type of guy whose final stat line can be guessed pretty accurately before most games. He'll give the Jayhawks 30-plus minutes, five to 12 points, three to six assists, zero or one turnover and a couple steals." His line: 11 points, four assists, one turnover, zero steals. Expect similar numbers.
★★★★☆
Marcus Morris, forward
It's tough to be critical of a double-double — Morris finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds against Oklahoma State — but I'm going to try. The Cowboys were devastated by boul trouble in the frontcourt (their top three posts fouled out), so for Morris to finish a couple of points off his season average is surprising and a little underwhelming. He should be able to put up big numbers against a weak Colorado frontcourt.
---
Mk. Morris
★★★★
Markieff put up OK numbers — 10 points and five rebounds — but like his brother should have been able to take better advantage of the Cowboys' frontcourt foul trouble. Of course, he was dealing with foul trouble of his own. He only played 18 minutes before fouling out of the game, and it's tough to put up all-conference numbers in that little playing time.

17.4
Tomlinson only played 16 minutes, five in the second half and that was when he was most productive. In the first half he had zeros all across his stat line except for two fouls. In the five minutes he played in the second half he scored three points and added an assist and two rebounds. Colorado might be better off just starting Levi Knutson, but he isn't a true point guard like Tomlinson.

Tomlinson
★★☆☆☆
Cory Higgins, guard
Higgins had ice water in his veins for a stretch when Alec Burks went out with three fouls at the 14:12 minute mark in the first half. Colorado was down by four when Burks left and when he came back in three minutes later it was only down by one. Higgins led all scorers with 28 points.
Higgins
★★★★
Alec Burks, forward
Burks has had two phenomenal games in the tournament thus far. On Wednesday he scored 29 points, 25 in the second half, and on Thursday he scored 24 points, 16 in the first half. Burks is a pure scorer that gets to the free throw line. He averaged 20 points in Colorado's two games against Kansas. By the way he is playing these last two days, he'll probably go off for another 20-plus.
YOUNG BABA
Burks
★★★★★
Austin Dufault, forward
Dufault is averaging a measly three points in the Big 12 tournament. He has two turnovers to go with his zero assists. For a 6-foot-9 forward he doesn't hit the boards hard; he is soft. He has five rebounds total. Marcus Morris, who had 11 rebounds, nine on the offensive end, will eat him alive. If Dufault doesn't step up, it will be a long night.

Marcus Relphorde, forward
Colorado has four threats to score; Relphore is the fourth behind Burks. Hiqgins and
Knutson. Relphorde scored 10 points in 21 minutes. He didn't miss a shot (3-3 FG, 1-1 3FG) or a free throw (3-3). Relphorde wasn't perfect though; he committed four turnovers and only shed out one assist.

ATAGLANCE
People say it's difficult to defeat a team three times in one season. Well, Colorado did just that on Thursday. It knocked off Kansas State 87-75 in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament. The victory also means that Kansas will have the opportunity to defeat the Buffaloes for the third time this season. Colorado lost by four 82-78, at home in Boulder, Colo., and then was dropped by 26, 89-63, in Lawrence. Colorado shot 79.2 percent from the free-throw line on Wednesday and 85.2 percent on Thursday. It was 88.2 percent in the second half. If this game is close at the end of the game, Colorado will make its free throws. The same can't be said about Kansas.

Burks
Morris. Burks can score, handle the ball and defend. He is a first round pick with the potential to be a lottery pick in the NBA Draft. Burks is shooting 81.7 percent from the free throw line. In Colorado's victory against Texas he shot 20 free throws. On Thursday he was a perfect 8-8. He can score from deep, but he is a dribble-drive type of player. Burks will be the key to Colorado's success.
QUESTION MARK
How will Colorado fare with three games in three days?
Colorado will no doubt come out with a lot of energy. It could end up being similar to the way Kansas came out against Texas and then just hit a wall. Colorado played two games that went the distance; there wasn't a moment when they could relax. The Buffaloes' legs should catch up to them and they will probably become tired at some point. Burks and Higgins won't show they are tired and will do everything they can to put Colorado on their backs if their teammates show any signs of weakness. Playing a 6 p.m. will help both Kansas and Colorado, which played in the early session, but Kansas will have more rest.

THE JAYHAWKS WILL TAME RALPHIE IF...
They manage to tame either Burks or Higgins. Colorado's wonder guards are as talented as any backcourt in the Big 12, if not the country, and Elijah Johnson's newfound defensive prowess will face by far its toughest test thus far. If Johnson or Morningstar is up to the task, then bye bye, Buffaloes.
THE BUFFALOES WILL STAMPEDE IF...
The Morris twins don't post big numbers with the serious talent differential between them and the Colorado frontcourt. Andre Roberson and Marcus Relphorde are nice players, but both are a little too small to handle the twins. Last time they played, Markieff had 26 points and 15 rebounds, while Marcus had 16 and nine.

Kansas aims for two wins in first season home games
LACROSSE
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com
Any signs of lingering effects from the shellacking the University of Kansas lacrosse team received in Colorado are nonexistent now as the Jayhawks get ready to take on St. Cloud State today at 4 p.m., and Arkansas tomorrow at noon at Lawrence High School.
The game today will be the first at home this season for the Jayhawks, and the team is looking to come out and make a statement after two straight losses with a combined score of 28-9.
"It was ugly;" coach Dennis Shults said.
Shults said the team had been able to put the losses behind them and get back to business preparing

St. Cloud State, which is coming off a 19-5 loss in its season-opener at Nebraska, looks to be an easy win for Kansas.
"We are a much better team than these guys, and I think we are going to do well". Shults said.
The expectation is for the Jayhawks to go 2-0 this weekend. Arkansas is winless in conference this season with its losses coming at the hands of Iowa and Memphis. The Jayhawks beat both teams earlier this season. The Razorbacks' only win this season was against Harding University, a Division II club team.
"It should be a game where we tune up our offense and rack up some points," Shults said.
The players seem just as confident that they will come away with two victories this weekend.
"As long as we stay competitive, and keep pushing throughout the game, we shouldn't have any problem," said sophomore attackman Jack Faerber.
Faerber has the second most goals on the team, with 13, and is third in Jayhawk scoring with 19 points.
Shults said a goal of his was to shut out at least one of the teams this weekend.
"I think that's the goal I'm going to set for the defense," Shults said. Shults said that he would like to see his offense triple the other team's score.
With Arkansas being a division rival, the Jayhawks will look to try, and stay undefeated in the Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference and keep pace for a division title.

Pitchers look to lock in a victory during weekend series

This weekend's three-game series at Hoglund Ballpark against Eastern Michigan will be crucial for the Jayahwks as they try to correct their problems at the plate before conference play begins. It won't be very easy for the Jayahwks though, when they take on a streaking Eagles squad that has won six of their last seven games.

"I think we've only had one non-quality start," coach Ritch Price said. "Our starting pitching has been awesome."
The pitching staff may not be able to carry the bats this weekend against an Eastern Michigan team that can hit the ball. The Eagles are hitting .280 and are scoring an average of 6.8 rums per game. Leading Eastern Michigan at the plate is senior infielder Zack Leonard, who is batting .400 on the year.
With the way the Eagles are hitting the ball, Price has plenty of reasons to be concerned about this

FUNDAMENTALS OF THE GAME
Different styles and strength in bullpen help to make team stand out
BY HANNAH WISE
hwise@kansan.com
The Jayhawks are in a much different place this season than they were at this time last year. They hold a record of 17-3, two weeks before conference play begins.
before concluding.
The major difference between the two teams is the depth and caliber of the 2011 season's bullpen. The team boasts five very diverse pitchers, two of which are freshmen. Each player has a different style of getting the job done from the circle.
"We have different styles so one person can start the game and another can come in and the other team would be completely on their toes the entire time because they
would be seeing something completely different," said sophomore pitcher Alex Jones.
The pitchers are coached by D.J. Mathis, who is in her her first year at Kansas. Mathis said she had created a strong philosophy for the girls to believe in.
girls to believe.
"Our goal is to win. We like to hammer the zone and work ahead in the count," Mathis said. "I tell our girls every game, 'Our goal is to work ahead in the count and get your first out.' We use our defense and give our team a chance to win everyday."
So far this season, the players are sticking to that philosophy. They hold a team ERA of 2.90, compared with their opponents' 7.10 ERA, allowing 121 hits and
20 games.
20 games.
At the college level, pitchers can't rely on having power and speed alone to get strike outs, especially in the Big 12 where there are eight teams ranked in the top 25 of the USA Today Coaches Poll. For No. 35 Kansas, this means having pitchers that are able to consistently hit their spots and use different spins to throw batters off is even more
important.
"Something we work on day in and day out whether you are a freshman or a senior is hitting your spots and having the correct mechanics to hit your spots on a dime with all of your pitches," Mathis said.
said
and drive it where they want.
Matthis said.
For the most part, the fastball is not a key pitch in the college game, simply because giving a batter a ball that is fast and down the middle will allow her to wind up and make the easy swing at the ball.
That is not what the Jayhawk pitchers want to have happen.
Allie Clark. "Keep the ball down, because even if the batter does swing and make contact, we know that they will hit it on the ground and our team can work with that; get ahead, if we get ahead early in the count then that increases our chances of getting them out; give the team a chance, if we are working the knees and we are working ahead and we are getting people out then that gives the rest of the team a chance to win, to get on base and to get runs."
Mathis is working to develop all of these ideas in the pitchers. She wants them to have purpose when they step into the circle and to know exactly why they are throwing the pitches and how they are setting up the batter.
"We spend a lot of time talking
about pitch sequences," said Mathis. "We like to work the inside corner a lot. A lot of people like to hammer the outside corner and we like to think about it the other way. We like to work inside and trip people up and then hit the outside and change up speeds."
At this time last season, the team was 9-10, winning two games in less than seven innings. This season they finished six games in less than seven innings and won two extra-inning match ups. This is a different team and a different group of pitchers that have stayed focused on the fundamentals and doing their part to help the team win.

2. Take a stride out.
3. Push off the mound with one leg driving into your X.

4. Follow through with your arm and pull your back leg through.
Allie Clark in the X stage of the pitch
Notes: The power in each pitch comes from the pitcher's legs. It is a full body motion, but if the pitcher can push off hard with her legs a lot of power will be generated.
Meet the pitchers ...

ALLIE CLARK Senior pitcher
Right handed
Pitches: drop curve, screw ball rise ball, change up
Notes: Clark is the leader for the pitching staff. She describes her pitching style as being wildly effective.
Her style has led to 24 strike outs on the season and 179 career strike outs. She currently has a 6-1 record from the circle, suffering her only loss against Minnesota (5-4).
"They don't really know where my ball is going because I have a lot of movement," Clark said.
AJO
KRISTIN MARTINEZ Freshman pitcher
Left handed
Pitches: curve, screw ball, rise, change up
Notes: Martinez is leading the Jayhawks with an 1.80 ERA.
She is currently 9-1 from the circle.
She has been a dominating force pitching a 7-0 shut out against San Diego last weekend.
"I have always relied on my spins to keep people off balance and just to keep them guessing," Martinez said.
She prefers to put spin on the ball rather that focusing on speed.
10
ASHLEY SPENCER
Junior pitcher
Right handed
"I'm usually getting us ground balls and letting us get out of innings a lot faster,"Spencer said.
Pitches: rise, drop, curve, screw ball, off-speed change
Notes: Spencer is a transfer from Cowley Community College. She pitched them to their sixthstraight Jayhawk East Conference championship.
She said that compared to the other girls she was in the middle on speed and tried to use more strategy than speed when she is in the circle.
BELKIN JONES
ALEX JONES Sophomore pitcher right handed
ALEX JONES
Sophomore pitcher
Right handed
Pitches: curve, screw ball, rise, change-up, curve-change
Notes: Jones suffered a broken wrist six years ago that never healed. She did not find out the break until after beginning the weights regiment at Kansas
"its just something I have come to adapt to. It is something I have learned to throw with," Jones said.
She prefers to use her rise ball because of its movement in the zone. She also likes her change-up because it gives her the ability to work the corners of the plate.
10
COLLEEN HOHMAN Freshman pitcher Right handed
Right handed
Pitches: change-up, curve, screw and drop
Notes: Hohman has been working to mature as a pitcher since arriving at Kansas. She is working on developing into a more competitive pitcher that relies less on her fast ball and more on spins.
"My whole life I have been a pitcher that throws typically harder. I relied a lot on my fast ball, but the college level is different and a lot of movement needs to come in," Hohman said.
SOFTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
Communication helps the team to play more efficiently because everyone knows who is going to get each ball and where the outs are going.
Megan Smith said.
are going. The team continued to spend time in the batting cages to build on fundamentals. They are working toward the types of pitches they will see in Big 12 play.
they will see us.
"We are focusing more on pitchers that spin the ball than speed. We are just working on being more patient up at the plate and really hitting our pitches," sophomore Mariah Montgomery said.
"We looked really good in practice so I think we are going to come out and execute our game plan."
Despite falling back slightly during the UNLV game last weekend, this Jayhawk team has a special bond that helps them rally back
to make adjustments. It has created a sense of confidence among the players and in each other's abilities.
"I think the players look more comfortable up at the plate, more comfortable on the field. They have learned each other defensively, learned each other's range, learned to communicate with each other." Smith said.
other, Smith said.
The amount of confidence and trust the players have with one another is not something every team has. It is an intangible that coaches desire in teams and it is something that they cannot teach.
This weekend the Jayawks will face Mount Saint Mary, Alabama State, Delaware State and North Florida in the North Florida Tournament.

QA with Kansas catchers Brittany Hile and Leah Daiber
Q: How is catching for each pitcher different?
Hile: They are all unique in their own way so it is a lot of fun to catch each one. They are so different and all talented and have their own speical pitches so it is a lot of fun.
Daiber: Its just fun because their approaches are different. Some will start with the inside, some go outside and it depends on where we are in the line up and what kind of hitter is up. It is really cool to be able to use different pitchers in different situations.

Q: How does your relationship with each pitcher affect how you interact?
Hile: Some you can be more hard on and some you just have to remind them just how good they are and kind of keep them on track.
them just how good they are and know them Daiber: You have to get to know each pitcher. You have to get to know them and catch them before you know what they are thinking and how they respond to what you say to them.
Hile: I have to communicate with everybody and not just the pitchers. I am just making sure that I am the voice on the field.
Q: Can you describe your role as a catcher?
Daiber: The thing I look at most is how a pitcher is throwing and if a pitch isn't working quite as well then I work with her to find those key words to help her fix it.

NCAA BASKETBALL
No.21 beats No.3 in Big East tournament
NEW YORK — Jim Calhoun drew up a play in the Connecticut huddle that gave Kemba Walker two options for the final shot. He could either take it himself, or kick it to Jamal Coombs-McDaniel if he was covered.
As soon as Walker put the ball on the floor, Calhoun knew which choice he'd made.
The star point guard used a crossover and shoulder roll to shuck his defender right to the ground, then stepped back and swished the winning basket at the buzzer, lifting the No. 21 Huskies to a 76-74 victory over the third-ranked Panthers in the Big East quarterfinals.
Mascots in a league all their own
MORNING BREW
With the Big 12 Tournament in full swing and the NCAA Tournament looming, it's crunch
time for Big 12 teams. They need their teams to be running on all cylinders — and that includes mascots. Here's a breakdown of how the mascots around the conference stack up:
1. REVEILLE THE DOG
— TEXAS A&M
Downside: Always runs the risk of pooping on the basketball court.
This live dog that represents the Aggies is actually a five-diamond general in the Corp of Cadets - seriously. The best part about Reveille is that anytime she barks in a class at A&M, the class is immediately dismissed.
2. BRUISER THE BEAR BAYLOR
Bruiser earned his spot mostly through a great balance of athleticism and power — and his dancing skills. Plus the alliteration is a bonus.
Downside: A grizzly bear seems extremely out of place in central Texas.
3. HERBIE HUSKER AND LIL'RED — NEBRASKA
Herbie is one of the more boring mascots around, but the inflatable baby Lil' Red makes up for it with his ability to dance by bouncing on his head.
Downside: Generation gap between mascots creates on-field tension.
4. CY THE CYCLONE — IOWA STATE
CBS Spin named Cythe the Cyclone "Most Dominant Mascot on Earth" in 2007. His aerodynamic head makes him probably the most athletic mascot in the conference.
Downside: His dual existence as a bird and a weather pattern creates a lot of confusion as to what kind of being he really is.
JOEL PETTERSON
jpetterson@kansan.com
5. HOOK'EM THE LONGHORN TEXAS
"Hook 'Em," an intimidating yet soft longhorn, has an upper hand in every mascot fight because of his enormous horns.
right because of his enormous horns Downside: Not nearly as popular as Bevo, the lethargic live longhorn who appears at football games.
6. BIG JAY THE JAYHAWK — KANSAS
The hometown favorite really plays up his goofy side, as his go-to move tends to be falling down.
Downside: As a single father, he often has difficulty keeping track of Baby Jay at sporting events.
7. HORSES BOOMER AND SOONER — OKLAHOMA
These twin horses are relative newcomers on the screen, but they stick to traditional moves like riding in a covered wagon. Downsizes Comforably thought to look
Downside: Commonly thought to look more like pigs than horses.
Downside: Lengthy tail makes him vulnerable, and his face is about as intimidating as a cluster of grapes.
As he was named after President Harry Truman, this tiger clearly has a strong sense of history.
8. TRUMAN THE TIGER — MISSOURI
THE
MORNING
BREW
9. CHIP THE BUFFALO — COLORADO
While not too impressive at first glance, Chip has some accolades, including a place on the 2003 Capitol One All-America Mascot Team (arguably the least important All-America Team in existence). Downside: Doesn't wear pants.
10. RAIDER RED
— TEXAS TECH
Raider Red is a very mysterious mascot but his two fake pistols make him rather intimidating.
Downside: Unruly red beard gives him the appearance of a homeless person.
11. PISTOL PETE THE COWBOY — OKLAHOMA STATE
This cowboy also carries weapons everywhere, and his enormous plastic head gives him a unique advantage in fistfights. Downside: Enormous head also makes him unbelievably creepy.
12. WILLIE THE WILDCAT -- KANSAS STATE
Willie is probably the most mobile of the mascots, as he is simply a large head on a human body.
Downside: Lack of true body makes him an embarrassment to the mascot world.

Jayhawks defeated the Cowboys in the Big 12 tournament

Wednesday, it took every tenth of every second to decide a winner in a gripping 53-52 Oklahoma State victory.
Thursday, Oklahoma State was on the wrong side of it.
Point guard Reger Dowell lost
his footing and a clean handle on the ball and teammate Jean-Paul Olukemi's three went wide to the right as top-seeded Kansas escaped with a 63-62 victory.
The Cowboys' NCAA Tournament hopes hinged on beating the Jayhawks, and they played like it for all 40 minutes, jumping out to a first-half lead behind the
inspired play of Keiten Page (23 points) and Olukemei (17).
"They played like there was no tomorrow," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
For the first time this season, Kansas played in a win or go home situation — amplified by the Cowboys' dire straits — and they passed the test. Despite hitting just
"We played through some stuff today." Self said, "missed shots and stuff, that I think will be a good thing for us going forward."
36 percent from the field and assisting on only 11 of their 23 baskets, the Jayhawks snuck past a Cowboy team desperate for a win.

Team focuses on the basics, communicate during game
BY HANNAH WISE
hwise@kansan.com
The Jayhawks spent this week in Lawrence refocusing on fundamentals and communication. They are now 17-3 after going 3-2 in Las Vegas with losses to Bradley (10-7) and UNLV (1-5 in five innings).
LAKERS
"Whenever we aren't mentally present that is obviously when errors are going to happen so we just have to stay locked in and focused on every single pitch," said junior outfielder Liz Kocon.
It was especially apparent in the UNLV game that the team was not as focused as they had been during their 10-0 streak during the opening two weekends. Players were having a difficult time communicating, especially between the infield and the outfield.
"We went over more team defensive communication. That is an issue we had last weekend so we revisited that. Just some basic stuff to get back into the swing of things and what we are doing well," coach
In order to refocus and avoid mental lapses like the one the staff saw against UNLV, practice this week focused on fundamentals.

Jayhawks use defensive power in 63-62 victory over Cowboys
COMMENTARY
Bill Self has been preaching it all season. Guard somebody. And for the entire
But what happens when your offense fails like California power and you find yourself losing to the No. 9 seed in the Big 12 tournament? You learn.
It's not a good feeling, and Self knows it, to have the game in the other team's hand and all you can do is defend to the best of your ability. Oklahoma State had the ball and the opportunity to upset the heavily favored Kansas, and guess what won the game? Defense.
season, the offensively gifted Jayhawks have never latched onto any allege defensively.
Let's take a look at the second half of the Oldahoma State game as a model for what Self has been preaching the whole season.
After Kansas found itself down by six at the half, they locked onto shooters and reduced Oklahoma State's field goal percentage to 26.9 percent from their first half 54.2 percent. Only one of the Cowboys' seven three-point shots put points
"I've never been one to hope for things or to wish for things or anything like that, but I admit I was praying a little bit," Self said.

Call it a cool down from an insanely productive first half, but it was more of an effort on Kansas' defensive side of the ball. Oklahoma State's Keiton Page lit up Kansas from long range and driving in the paint the whole game. However, Self thought both Elijah Johnson and Tyshawn Taylor guarded him well, especially in the second half.
on the board, and they shot five fewer free throw shots than they did in the first half.
"We didn't do a bad job on him and he gets 23 on 12 shots," Self said. "I thought Elijah and Tyshawn did a decent job. We switched everything late, and fortunately for us the ball did not come back to him."
Instead, the ball went to Oklahoma State's Jean-Paul

Olukemi for a forced three. But the key moment of the game wasn't the shot falling short, but rather what led up to the shot. It was the reason why Kansas came back to be in the position to win the game in the first place. They smothered the ball with relentless defense.
Oklahoma State's Reger Dowell brought the ball up-court fighting Tyshawn Taylor the whole way. Once he tried to drive the ball into the paint, he was met with a trap coming with the help of guard Mario Little. Little managed to get a hand on the ball and Dowell was forced to the ball up to Olukemi after mishandling it.
"That killed the play," Self said of Dowell's fumbling of the ball.

Kansas guarded somebody. They altered the tempo of the Cowboys and got a win. Just think if they played a whole game like they did on the defensive-end during the second half against Oklahoma State. Kansas would be able to survive elimination games without relying on their first-in-the-nation shooting percentage.

The men's basketball team celebrates its victory against Texas for the Big 12 Championship title. The Jayhawks defeated the Longhorns 85-73
BY TIM DWYER
rdwer@kansasan.com
A day after winning its eighth Big 12 Championship in the 12-year history of the league, Kansas was named the No.1 seed in the Southwest region for the NCAA Tournament.
The Jayhawks will play their first- and second-round games — against 16-seed Boston University and the winner of the eight/nine-seed matchup between UNLV and Illinois
— at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla.
His first game is Friday.
Boston is the champion of the America East Conference. There is the now infamous connection to Bucknell and Bradley — who beat Kansas in the first round in 2005 and 2006, respectively — as an automatic bid school that starts with the letter 'B', but Kansas players aren't worried.
"No concerns from me," senior guard Tyrel Reed said. "I wasn't here for those. Maybe Brady was here, but he's been here forever."
said, "there will be some sentimental value attached to that name"
The layjayhaws have ties to both UNLV and Illinois, assuming they break the 'B' curse and continue the perfect record of top seeds against 16 seeds. Kansas coach Bill Self hasn't played against Illinois since leaving the school for the Kansas job eight years ago, and UNLV starts former Kansas power forward Quintrell Thomas, who transferred after his freshman year.
"Whoever we play, whether it be UNLV — with Elijah, all that stuff, Quintrell — or Illinois and the connections that exist there," Self
The Jayhawks will play, if they reach the Sweet 16, in the Alamodome in San Antonio for the first time since winning a national title there in 2008. Self said it's far too early to go down memory lane, though.
"Ask me that in a week" he said, "if we're fortunate enough to get there."

The Lawrence City Commission' and Mayor Mike Amyx declared next week as "Stay Safe During Spring Break Week" to promote safe behavior from students during their spring break activities.
According to Amyx's proclamation statement, student safety while traveling both within the country and abroad is very important.
According to the proclamation "the Lawrence Police Department, The University of Kansas Office of Public Safety, and The Jayhawk Buddy System are sponsoring a variety of events this week to encourage students to use protective behaviors before, during, and after spring break."
The movement to declare the week as a safety week is in conjunction with a national campaign for student safety during spring break. A news release put out by the United States Department of State on Feb. 9 stresses safety while traveling abroad for spring break. The release gives several examples of possible problems that students

Dead male found near Hawks Pointe
BY ADAM STRUNK
astrunk@kansan.com
The Lawrence Police Department is investigating a deceased male found behind a housing duplex near the 700th block of Michigan Street.
The Lawrence police responded to a medical emergency call
at 1:21 p.m. and found a male body lying near a shallow creek behind the housing duplex and next to the heavily wooded area that borders Hawks Pointe apartments.

Megan Singer/KANSAN
Emergency workers investigate the discovery of a dead body in a creek behind duplexes on Seventh and Michigan streets. The body was found Sunday afternoon.
night, the Lawrence police said that "a cause of death is not known at this time pending autopsy results, but there appears to be no foul play involved."
At about 5 p.m., police and a coroner loaded the body onto a stretcher. The coroner left shortly afterward. At 5:19 p.m., police took down the yellow crime scene tape.
Valerie Rotes, who lives a block away from where the body was found, said the occurrence troubled her.
"I'm more paranoid now," she said."I have my daughter and I live alone. I get scared. I have to walk outside and there are no street lights out here."
"I'm kind of creeped out a bit," he said."I live in this neighborhood. I walk through it every day. I'm wondering who I'm not going to see now."
Jeff Eubanks, another neighborhood resident, was surprised by the incident.
The Lawrence police said the name of the subject would not be released at this time.

Japan still shocked from earthquake, tsunami
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KORIYAMA, Japan — Japanese officials warned of a possible second explosion Sunday at a nuclear plant crippled by the earthquake and tsunami as they raced to stave off multiple reactor meltdowns, but they provided few details about whether they were making progress. More than 180,000 people have evacuated the area, and up to 160 may have been exposed to radiation.
Four nuclear plants in northeastern Japan have reported damage, but the danger appeared to be greatest at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex, where one explosion occurred Saturday and a second was feared. Operators have lost the ability to cool three reactors at Dai-ichi and three more at another nearby complex using usual procedures, after the quake knocked out power and the tsunami swamped backup generators.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio
Operators have been dumping seawater into units 1 and 3 in a last-ditch measure to cool the reactors. They were getting water into the other four reactors with cooling problems without resorting to corrosive sea water, which likely makes the reactors unusable.
Edano said residents within about 12 miles (20 kilometers) of the Daichi plant were ordered to evacuate as a precaution, and the radioactivity released into the environment so far was so small it didn't pose any health threats.
At the makeshift center set up in a gym, a steady flow of people mostly the elderly, schoolchildren and families with babies were met by officials wearing helmets, surgical masks and goggles.
"At the risk of raising further public concern, we cannot rule out the possibility of an explosion," Edano said. "If there is an explosion, however, there would be no significant impact on human health."
About 1,500 people had been scanned for radiation exposure, officials said.
Such statements, though, did little to ease public worries.
"First I was worried about the quake," said Kenji Koshiba, a construction worker who lives near the plant. "Now I'm worried about radiation." He spoke at an emergency center in Koriyama, about 40 miles (60 kilometers) from the most troubled reactors and 125 miles (190 kilometers) north of Tokyo.
Edano said Sunday that a hydrogen explosion could occur at Dai-ichi's Unit 3, the latest reactor to face a possible meltdown. That would follow a hydrogen blast Saturday in the plant's Unit 1.
Up to 160 people, including 60 elderly patients and medical staff who had been waiting for evacuation in the nearby town of Futabe, and 100 others evacuating by bus, might have been exposed to radiation, said Ryo Miyake, a spokesman from Japan's nuclear agency. It was unclear whether any cases of exposure had reached dangerous levels.
A foreign ministry official briefing reporters said radiation levels outside the Dai-ichi plant briefly rose above legal limits, but had since declined significantly.
Edano said none of the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors was near the point of complete meltdown, and he was confident of escaping the worst scenarios.
Officials, though, have declared states of emergency at the six reactors where cooling systems were down — three at Dai-ichi and three at the nearby Fukushima Daini complex. The U.N. nuclear agency said a state of emergency was also declared Sunday at another complex, the Onagawa power plant, after higher-than-permitted levels of radiation were measured there. It said Japan informed it that all three reactors there were under control.
Working to fund student safety projects campus safety advisory board
CAMPUS

there are 18 members
the chairwoman is Libby Johnson
it originated in the 70s as the "lightening committee"
BY ANN WILSON awilson@kansan.com
The Campus Safety Advisory Board is working to make life at the University of Kansas a little bit safer for students by gaining awareness and funding.
Past CSAB projects include the campus emergency blue phones and Segways provided for the KU Public Safety Office. The money for these projects came from the $1 campus safety fee charged each semester and 50 cents during the summer, according to the Office of the Registrar's website. However, the fee was eliminated two years ago because the accumulated $212,000 was not being spent.
CSAB meets tri-weekly; anyone is welcome to attend
To help raise the CSAB's awareness and to promote student involvement in discussing safety issues at the University, the board voted 5-0 last week to spend $40,000 for promotional events throughout the semester. Johnson said the group also planned to partner with the Jayhawk Buddy System. Johnson said she hoped CSAB's involvement in the JBS and KU Public Safety Office" "Safe Spring Break" campaign next week will generate greater exposure of the group and its projects.
"I want student input because I have only one set of experiences, and it's our job to vocalize the

Other projects being considered include four options for lighting in Parking Lot 16 costing $6,000 to $45,000. However, the board chose not to vote on the issue during last week's meeting until it receives input from the scholarship hall residence, who will be most affected. CSAB chairwoman Libby Johnson, a senior from Lawrence, said she would meet with scholarship halls Tuesday. Johnson said the CSAB always researched each project before committing money.
"We don't want to waste our resources and implement another program that students just aren't going to use," she said.
needs of this campus as a whole" said Nicole McClure, CSAB secretary and a senior from Topeka.
"We'd love to have more people involved in the discussions and the decision making process," Johnson said.
Johnson said she if anyone who would like to get involved with CSAB, to visit its Facebook page or e-mail her at libbyjohnson54@gmail.com. CSAB will meet at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday with an open forum at the beginning for student discussion.

A conversation with Leno on nightmares and nerves

There's an elephant on the line and his name is Conan O'Brien. Jay Leno signed off on a phone interview to promote his stand-up tour with the stipulation that the "Tonight Show" short-timer's

they asked if I would pick on a few people in the audience. Bob Walker, they said, is a big office flirt. If you do anything about sex or girls, just throw to Bob and you'll get a big laugh. OK, fine. So I do a joke about prostitutes and I say, "Bob, you know what I'm talking about." Big laugh. Later I say, "Bob, you use condoms when you're on the road, right?" Ha, ha, ha. 1 start in on a third joke, and this woman starts crying and tears out of the building. Apparently, they had completely forgotten that Bob's wife didn't know he was the office flirt.
A: Really nervous? Let's see ... the White House Correspondents Dinner with Ronald Reagan. It was my first time. I was backstage and this general-looking guy says, "This is the president. You don't do jokes about the president." Yessir. Yessir. Next guy who comes up to me is (Secretary of State) George Shultz. He says, "Ronnie loves a good joke. Nail him. He'll think it's hilarious."
Q: What did you do?
A: My opening joke was congratulating Nancy for being named humanitarian of the year and beating out that conniving little bitch, Mother Teresa.

Japanese lives should matter more than U.S. interests
INTERNATIONAL
I lived in Okinawa, a tiny island off the coast of Japan, for three and a half years. It is a small island; so small that you can drive the entire length of it in a day.
I was young when I lived in Okinawa, but my memories living in Asia are the first of my life; sliding down the dangerous but thrilling roller park slides, taking my shoes off at the door of a restaurant, sitting cross-legged on the floor to eat and playing with my Japanese neighbors even though we didn't speak each other's language.
This morning I find myself wondering what's happening to that little neighbor girl who used to share her Hello Kitty candy with me.
The video and photographic coverage of this disaster has been the stuff of Hollywood. Giant waves swept cars, boats and airplanes off their paths mixed with debris of buildings and trees. Houses that were not torn apart by the earthquake were washed away by the waves; some were seen on fire in Kesennuma city in Miyagi Prefecture, near Sendai.
Early Friday, March 11, Japan was hit by an 8.9 magnitude earthquake, the world's fifth largest earthquake in the past 100 years. The earthquake prompted a tsunami with 30-foot waves.
Casualty estimates are still coming in. As of yesterday, NHK, Japan's public broadcasting network, reported that 1,300 people had been confirmed dead. However, in Minami-Sanriku, a coastal city that was struck hard by the tsunami, 10,000 of the 17,000 residents are missing. The Washington Post estimates the final death toll to exceed 10,000. The prime minister of Japan, Naoto Kan, has called the disaster the country's biggest crisis since World War II.
The initial earthquake was followed by more than 50 aftershocks — most of them were recorded at a magnitude of more than 6.0.
Naturally, this catastrophe has caught the attention of the world media. The coverage is detailed and the images and video of the quakes and the following tsunami are shocking. But American media couldn't
leave it at that.
Before the death toll in Japan is even calculated, our national media jumped straight into speculations about Hawaii and California. American press made the decision to focus on our home front.
I am aware of how important it is to warn people in the line of the tsunami's trajectory. Precautions must be taken to avoid additional loss of life. But does it have to be the overriding focus, the headline of every article?
the beach. Put your sunscreen down until tomorrow, we are oh-so-sorry about this inconvenience. All the while people are dying in Japan, trapped in their houses and cars, but hey, we need to know if our weekend plans should be postponed a few hours.
ABC News quoted Brian Shiro of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center saying, "Some places in California will see 6 feet, in some cases 9 feet. This could certainly be a bad day for people on the beach. If you have a house right on the water ... it could be flooded."
That's right. Sorry Americans, you can't spend your Friday afternoon at
This "If we don't see it firsthand it doesn't matter to us" mentality has to stop. There shouldn't even be an "us" versus "them." It should be a a "we," because we are all people and when anyone dies it should matter to everyone. I have never been more disappointed to be an American.
When did we first begin desen-sitizing ourselves to foreign deaths? Americans weren't involved in the situation in Japan until there was a possibility that it would affect us.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In response to "Animal slaughter for human consumption is morally indefensible," I know many good people who maintain a strict vegetable diet. Frequently, the same individuals assert the rights of animals as a basis to their eating habits.
Still, I wonder how they can justify their judgmental, patronizing frowns when I support local commerce, carry out basic animal physiology and uphold my beliefs on animal rights. Why are some people compelled to label omnivores as ignorant, narcissistic boors when their lifestyle are as, if not more, destructive than a person who eats meat occasionally?
With 300 words I cannot adequately reply to each of the points made in Friday's column, but I will, however, address the moral "indefen sibleness" of an omnivore's diet.
If a non-human animal retains the same rights as a human — that is equal privilege to a free life without slaughter, exploitation and slavery — it's necessary to hold all animals accountable for their actions uniformly. As beings of equal right we have a responsibility to uphold the
intrinsic value of life.
As stated in the column: "Because of issues at birth or injury, some humans are less intelligent than animals." Valid point; I've seen videos of Missouri fans that make chimps look like hair-covered Einsteins. Yet, as we see in nature, chimps are omnivores. How can we let their murderous acts against other creatures continue? They can learn sign language, damn it!
Therefore, as nature's most intelligent animal, we humans have an obligation to redraft the Bill of Rights to include non-human animals in order to stop nature's madness. We might have trouble keeping chimps on the stand from eating their own poop, but to protect animals everywhere we must begin by making murderers answer to their "indefensibly" corrupt behavior.
And as the supreme models of moral goodness, I insist vegetarians create this necessary revision — get to work.

As we have seen, 267 people in the U.S. have been exonerated because of DNA evidence, according to the Innocence Project, an original dedicated to helping wrongly convicted people. This is clearly a step in the direction of a fairer and more just judicial system.
But most cases still do not incorporate DNA evidence. In those cases, there is less of an opportunity for organizations like the Innocence Project to help those that might be wrongly accused from arguing their cases.
In a victory for improvement in the Justice system, the Supreme Court ruled on March 7 that convicted prisoners can seek DNA testing as a civil rights action to have their convictions overturned.
There are plenty of arguments made about the death penalty being a deterrence or "worth the price" of a few innocent people dying at the hands of the state. I will not discuss those issues here, but I hope students openly discuss them with each other.
Death penalty should be abolished while reasonable doubt continues
GOVERNMENT
The most compelling argument against capital punishment is the possibility of executing innocent persons and - innocent or not - the devastating effects on the family members of those executed.
In that case, what about death row inmates who may be innocent? Regardless of whether they have DNA evidence to help them plead their cases or not, the stakes are irrefutably higher when it is the question of life or death.
In making our decisions about whether or not we support the death penalty, it is important to remember that homicide by lethal injection creates another set of devastated family members and loved ones. It is, in some respects, trying to rectify loss by creating more loss.
We supposedly reserve death row for the worst of the worst — only

those cases in which we are sure beyond any doubt of the perpetrator's guilt. But that has not stopped us from wrongly convicting and sentencing to death at least 138 people.
In 2004, Cameron Todd Willingham was executed in the state of Texas, and since then, investigators have proven that none of the evidence used to convict Willingham was valid.
There is sufficient doubt that Troy Davis is guilty, yet he still sits on death row in Georgia.
House Bill 2323 would abolish the death penalty in Kansas. Currently the bill is being considered in the Kansas House, and support for the legislation is growing. In order to push the bill forward, it is imperative that students and community members voice their opinions. Students should call their representatives to make it known they no longer support such an antiquated form of "justice"
Clearly the practice of capital sentencing is arbitrary and certainly not reserved for cases without any shadow of doubt.
The Kansas Coalition Against the Death Penalty website (ksabolition.org) provides more information on how to support the bill.

Arts and Crafts Festival brings boost to vendors, city
BY LAURA SATHER
lsather@kansan.com
The smell of homemade candles and the sight of handcrafted crafts filled the Douglas County Fairgrounds Saturday.
Lawrence's Parks and Recreation department hosted the sixth annual Spring Arts and Crafts Festival, and special events supervisor Duane Peterson said it featured both commercial and noncommercial vendors. Participants occupied all 81 booths, and vendors sold everything from steel sculptures to homemade pork skins and dip. Peterson said festivals like these are becoming increasingly popular because of the job market.
"There are a lot of people this time around that have been laid off," he said. "So they're using this as another way of making money."
Ann Dahl, an exhibitor from Liberty,Mo., sold license plate art
at the fair. She said she used to do a lot of woodworking on her own, and she has always collected license plates. Then, about a year and a half ago he decided to start making it all into art.
Dahl takes her license plates, cuts them up and uses a nail gun to fasten the letters and numbers to wooden planks to spell out words. She said she made one of her pieces for herself, and then her friends started wanting them. Dahl makes custom pieces now, but her best-seller is a piece that spells "man cave."
Even though the job market is suffering and the economy has taken a hit, Dahl said she thought the fact that people would spend money on her pieces says something about the importance of art.
"I'd like to think that there's a great interest in art," Dahl said. "People want something unique, and when they come here, they say, I've never seen that before." People are willing to still buy gifts for people they
love."
The festival is economically advantageous for Lawrence, as well. The city only has to rent the space, and participants have to pay a fee to feature their work at the fair, so the city makes a large profit from the event.
Peterson said many of the exhibitors are from out of town, so they will come into town on Friday night, stay in a hotel and eat downtown, which he said also helps Lawrence's economy.
The city hosts three other fairs like this one every year; one in September, one in November and one in December.

PETS
BY SARA SNEATH
sneathsk@ku.edu
Shed fallen in love and everywhere she turned reminded her of the object of her affection; tiny sweaters, bandanas and chew toys screamed, "buy me" from the shelf. It was then that Kaitee Tyner, a junior from Council Grove, realized she was crazy about her sister's puppy and wanted one of her own.
That was seven months ago, when Tyner held more reserves about picking up dog feces and knew less about how to take care of her new companion. Today, her phone is filled with images of the 15-pound Maltese mix Roxy. There's a lot to learn as a first-time dog owner—love is expensive.
"I went to Bradley Animal Hospital and they gave me an estimate of $416 to get her fixed," Tyner said. "I was about in tears because that's the same day I paid $250 for her appointment. I had no idea she would be that expensive. I don't have a savings account because of her."
ESTIMATED COST
The Lawrence Humane Society adoption process requires applicants to answer several questions regarding living accommodations and how much they believe a pet will cost per year. Executive director of Lawrence Humane Society, Midge Grinstead, says dog owners should expect to pay at least $500.
"You have to be prepared to take care of the dog like it's a child," Grinstead said. "Time is the first thing and the second thing is money."
Grinstead says heartworm prevention medication and flea and tick treatment alone — which should be given year-round cost $20 a month.
FIRST YEAR MOST EXPENSIVE
When considering the cost of buying a
kennel, paying pet deposits, dog training and vaccines, owning a dog is most expensive the first year. Robin Michael, a veterinarian at Clinton Parkway Animal Hospital said this was especially the case when you got a puppy. The Clinton Parkway Animal Hospital recommends you bring in your puppy for its first set of immunizations at six to eight weeks old, with booster immunizations every three to four weeks until they are 16 weeks old.
Keep prescription drugs, chocolate, grapes, raisins and garlic away from dogs, all of these items are detrimental to their health. Dogs also tend to eat socks and underwear and these items can cause blockage and may require surgery to remove.
"An adult dog probably only needs to see those vaccines once a year," Michael said.
CUTTING DOWN ON VET BILLS
Work your dog slowly into exercise:
"They need to be conditioned into it.
Where we see people get in trouble is first thing in the spring," Michael said. "Every dog is a little different. The main point is, you wouldn't go out and run a marathon if you haven't run a 5k."
Dogs should not be kenneled longer than eight hours. Puppies can be kenneled for the equivalent of their age in months, plus one. For example, a 4-month-old puppy can be kenneled five hours.
Michael said if dog owners was unsure about something they should call their vet. Often times the veterinary technicians can answer their questions. She also said the Internet was a good resource and that most vets had websites with FAQs and additional sources of information.
As for Tyner, she's keeping Roxy.

'Poeta' wins film festival
CHRISTOPHER HONG chong@kansan.com
Student Union Activities (SUA) hosted its third annual International Film Festival this weekend at the Kansas Union and featured films from Mexico, France and Germany.
Students who attended got the opportunity to see awardwinning foreign films from the Guanajuato International Film Festival last summer.
"The festival is unique because it features a lot of international short films," said Bea Kilat, films and media coordinator for SUA.
The festival also hosted a competition for student film makers
teaturing a grand prize of $500 and a 10-day internship with Guanajuato International Film Festival. The competition had more than 30 entries this year. Films in the competition had to be made in the past year and had to be less than 15 minutes. On Sunday, SUA announced the winner of the competition, "Poeta" by Devin Schwyart.
Schwyhart, a senior from Winfield, said he had been making films since he was 12 years old and film had always been his obsession. After taking a hiatus from film making, he made the move to the department of film and media studies.
"I was a mechanics assistant
for an autoshop for two years," he said. "I kind of thought, I'm 23, its not going to come any sooner so I just need to go for it."
"Poeta" is a documentary about Stan Lombardo, a KU professor of classics who translates Greek epics into a 21st century context. Schwyhart said an internship with a film festival would give him the opportunity to make contacts in the film industry.
When asked what his plans were after graduation, Schwyhart gave a simple reply.
"I'm boarding the first flight to L.A.," he said.

Springing ahead could be unhealthy
SCIENCE
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
HARTFORD. Conn. Researchers say that shifting our internal clocks twice a year might affect us adversely — from more traffic accidents to lower SAT scores.
One worry about daylight sizing time, which happened Sunday morning at 2 a.m., is sleep deprivation. When we spring forward, we lose one hour of sleep. That may not seem like much of a jolt, but studies suggest most of us don't get enough sleep as it is, so losing even an hour can take its toll.
The one-hour time shift also seems to wreak havoc with our
circadian rhythms, the 24-hour cycle our bodies are accustomed to. The cycle sets itself according to sunrise and sunset.
Daylight saving time was adopted in the United States in 1918, long before the medical community began looking into seasonal affective disorder — a feeling of depression and sluggishness that comes from the lack of exposure to sunlight.
Andrew Winokur, director of psychopharmacology at the University of Connecticut, said we thrive on consistent patterns.
"When there's a sudden change in that, we as humans can feel it," he said. "We get used to, and more comfortable, being on a
specific pattern, and when that changes, we're more likely to feel out of sorts than better. I would say it's slightly analogous to jet lag."
lag.
Of particular concern to Paul Desan at Yale University is how little we know about the long-term effects of seasonal affective disorder.
"In my opinion, the research is not very complete and is contradictory," said Desan, a professor of psychiatry who specializes in seasonal affective disorder. "We're doing this vast public experiment without knowing what we're doing."

Forum discusses library expansion
BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE
Innightengale@kansan.com
A forum was held at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., to discuss the library's expansion. The city manager, two Gould Evans architects, library representatives and 15 community members met in the library's auditorium for about an hour and a half.
Architects Steve Clark and Jane Huesemann gave a summary of construction plans before beginning a question and answer session.
"It's good to get people's comments. Hopefully, they'll continue
to stay involved," Huesemann said.
to stay involved, Huesemann said. Several representatives of the Old West Lawrence neighborhood attended the meeting. They addressed concerns about two
main issues:
safety and aesthetics.
Carttar said that the association's
"This isn't a matter of complaining about anything," David Carttar, president of Old West Lawrence
Association said. "This is an opportunity to offer constructive input."
concerns were less about style and more about the functionality of the building and the ability to safely facilitate traffic from the adjacent park and swimming pool.

Pedestrian safetywasheavily discussed at the meeting. Because it's across the street from Watson Park and Outdoor Aquatic Center.
City officials will continue to

Driver, riders disagree on cause of bus crash
NATIONAL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Passengers and witnesses to a horrific New York City crash that sheared the top off a bus and killed 14 people told investigators that the driver's account of getting clipped by a tractor-trailer didn't match up to what they felt and saw before the vehicle slid off the road and into a sim pole.
Driver Ophadell Williams told police that his World Wide Tours bus was hit just as it crossed the New York City line early Saturday on a trip from the Mohegan Sun
casino in Connecticut.
But passengers said Williams had already swerved at times to the right for no reason before the accident, a law-enforcement official said Sunday.
The official said passengers said they didn't feel anything hit them and that other motorists on Interstate 95 said they didn't see the bus get hit. The official said police spoke to the tractor-trailer driver, who said he was following the bus.
Williams remained hospitalized in stable condition Sunday.

FEW FLAWS IN BIG 12 TRIUMPH
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Tyshawn Taylor smiled and shyly leaned away from the microphone, staring down the table at his coach with something in between hope and cockiness in his eyes.
Taylor had just said that he hoped his 20-point, five-assist, four-rebound performance was good enough to prove "that I could start for the rest of the time."
Coach Bill Self smirked, obviously pleased with his mercurial point guard's outstanding performance on the day, but unwilling to be effusive in his praise with Taylor in the room.

"Still had those two turnovers," Self said.
Self was, of course, joking, but it was that kind of day for the layhawks, where two turnovers on an otherwise perfect stat line were worth even a sarcastic mention.
In looking at the box score,
there's little the Jayhawks didn't do well. They outrebounded the fifth-best rebounding team in the country. They shot 57 percent from the floor and 41 percent from three-

"It just happened the perfect way for us to get them in the Big 12 Championship and for all the marbles." Morris said.
point range. They dominated the battle inside, scoring 38 points in the paint to Texas' 18.
"When we play like that, it's going to be hard to stop us."
The Morris twins, who struggled in the first meeting with Texas, flourished with defensive stalwart Tristan Thompson relegated to the bench with foul trouble. Thompson played just 11 minutes and his backups were unable to hold the twins. Marcus finished with 17 points and six rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting, while Markieff had 14 and nine rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting.
"That was the best defense that we played in a while," Self said. "We played the scouting report very well."
And as efficient as the Jayhawks were offensively, they may have been better defensively.
"When we play like that, it's going to be hard to stop us," said Marcus Morris, who was named the tournament's most outstanding player after the game.
The Longhorns scored 73 points, nowhere near the fewest Kansas has allowed this season, but the high score was more a product of the frenetic pace than of any particular efficiency from the Longhorns' offense. Jordan Hamilton — who was a

Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor goes up for a lavup at the Sprint Center Saturday. Taylor led the Javhawks with 20 points.
"I thought we guarded in a high-possession game," Self said. "Especially the first half. And I think that set the tone for a lot of things."

Jayhawks drop weekend series to Eastern Michigan
BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com
The Jayhawks walked away from their three-game series against Eastern Michigan at Hoglund Ballpark disappointed after losing two out of three games, including a 10-4 loss Sunday in a crucial third game.
With conference play lurking around the corner, a victory Sunday would have given the Jayhawks some major momentum heading into conference play, as well as boosting their record back above .500.
After Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Eagles, coach Ritch Price confirmed that Sunday's result could be very important the rest of the lavwhaws' season.
"I think we'll get tested tomorrow." Price said on Saturday. "We'll
see if we can grow up and take a step forward."
One of the Jayhawks' biggest issues Saturday was their attitude and lack of energy after giving up an early lead. The Jayhawks gave up three first inning runs and the Eagles tacked on another three in the fourth to take a 6-0 lead early in the game.
NC
Kansas appeared flat after giving up the lead, and only managed to
"I didn't think our body language was very good from the sixth inning on, and I don't think we were very competitive after we got behind," Price said.
While the Jayhawks failed to take a step forward on the scoreboard Sunday, losing 4-10. Price felt the Jayhawks corrected some of Saturday's major issues.
Senior pitcher Nolan Mansfield pitches against Eastern Michigan Saturday afternoon. The Jayhawks lost the contest 8-1
Megan Singer/KANSAN
"I was pleased with the energy in our dugout today and the progress we made offensively," Price said.
"This weekend, I think we had two games where we had over 10 hits, and that is a big confidence booster," senior outfielder Case Lytle said. "We're improving more and more."
One of the reasons the jayhawks could only muster four runs was the three double plays the jayhawks
scrape together five hits for one run in the game.
While Poppe and the Jayhawks didn't come away with the results they desired, coach Price said they had no choice but to remain optimistic and look forward.
The layhawks had four errors in the game, and gave up up three unearned runs. The starting pitcher, sophomore Tanner Poppe, had a tough time recovering from the defensive blunders giving up five hits and five runs in five innings pitched. Three of those five runs were unearned. Poppe though, was not one to make excuses.
The Jayhawks responded to Saturday's underwhelming effort with 13 hits. While four runs for 13 hits isn't a strong ratio, the numbers at the plate were some of the best Kansas has had all season. In game one of the series, the Jayhawks posted a season-high 14 hits, as well.
"It was tough today, and they were good hitters," Poppe said. "I just put myself in bad situations."

Junior first baseman Chris Manship also hurt the Jayhawks when he dropped a routine ball at first base in the second inning. The Eagles went on to take the lead from Kansas later in the second, scoring four runs.

Sports for the sports illiterate
MORNING BREW
I'm not a sports fan.
Yvonne Hickson
I care about and enjoy Kansas basketball, but I'll admit that the tiny amount about it I do know, I learned from years of being in the newsroom here at The Kansan. Even worse, when I do watch, I have to admit I'm horribly guilty of making terrible non-sports junkie comments such as my infamous line from Friday, "Oh, you rarely see Self in a gray suit."
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
I'm fully aware I'll probably never live that down.
It's not that I've never played sports. In fact, I'm a regional champion under-15 women's sabre fencer. (So don't try any Three Musketeers moves, but do feel free to make Princess Bride jokes.) I chalk up a lot of my ignorance of red-blooded American football to my teenage years, which were spent more in northern England than here in the wonderful land of Oz (and Dr. Naimsh).
In England, I fell in love with a lot of things. Most notably for the Morning Brew, I fell in love with soccer, with the woefully hopeful England team and with Manchester City, the blue-clad loveable underdog of the Premier League.
I saw at least snippets of every notable League match from 2004 to 2008, plus, of course, the terrible (for England) 2006 World Cup — which is as much a mandated religion as the U.K. really has. And in the years since, I've picked up following Man City here and there, and kept up with the other mandated spirituality, rooting against Nadal at Wimbledon, but have been very much a passive fan.
But something happened last week, I'm happy to report, that finally spurred me back out of my sports-ignorance funk. Sporting KC, formerly the Wizards, an equally bad name, announced it had sold the naming
rights of its still-under-construction stadium in Kansas City, Kan., to the Livestrong foundation.
Did I jump for joy because of corporate sponsorship of a sports team? No. Even I know that focusing on the business of sports completely misses the point of the bliss of being involved in the Beautiful Game (or basketball, the truly worldwide sport). What happened instead was that the news story caught my attention and got me thinking about Sporting's chances.
THE MORNING BREW
Don't get me wrong, I'm still very, very ignorant about the stats of the team, and about the mechanics in the passion of following it.
But I'm going to learn.
I think they're pretty good.
I'm going to learn because I'm excited about the possibilities of rooting for the home team, headquartered just a few blocks from my family's Wyandotte County home. The team that has now what the Wizards really didn't — a lot of support, and a lot of buzz.
It's not about Sporting's slightly botched rebandring (I recently overheard again the very good point that "KC FC" would have been the better choice, had it not already been taken by a youth team) to try to make it more European, nor about its branding of its stadium. Nor is it about jumping on the
bandwagon of fellowship — I've managed to live in the mecca of college basketball for four years without going to a single game, a sin! I know. It's about the personal reawakening of an interest, and a desire to get involved, because the excitement is genuinely beneficial for Kansas City — and by extension, those of us here in Lawrence.
Sporting KC may turn out to be terrible, new pitch or no new pitch, and I fear American soccer may always be painfully slow to my European-reared eyes, but I've decided I don't care. I'm going to throw myself out there and try to become a real human being — that is, someone who has the heart to unabashedly love at least one or two sports.
I plan to read up and get smart(er) about sports other than fencing (which is kick-ass, FV1, if you've never seen it done well) because I've tasted the fruit now. I'm incredibly excited about getting the kick of being at least a sports watcher, if not obsessive fan. I know I'm going to have the privilege of cheering on the home-town teams, which will forever be the best in the world in my fellow fans' eyes.
In the meantime, Rock Chalk Jayhawk. And live strong, Sporting Kansas City. Live and play — strong.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Duke wins third straight ACC title
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Add another Atlantic Coast Conference championship to fifth-ranked Duke's record haul.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nolan Smith had 20 points and the Blue Devils ended No. 6 North Carolina's run of big comebacks at the ACC tournament, beating the Tar Heels 75-58 in Sunday's championship game.
Kyle Singler added 11 points for the Blue Devils (30-4), who led the entire way for a record 19th tournament title. In the first meeting between the fierce rivals in the finals in a decade, second-seeded Duke led by 18 points in the first half and never let the top-seeded Tar Heels (26-7) build any momentum for a third straight tournament escape.
North Carolina had rallied from 19 down in the final 10 minutes to beat Miami on a last-play layup in the quarterfinals, then rallied from 14 down to force overtime and beat Clemson in the semifinals. This
time, however, the Tar Heels got no closer than nine after halftime as the veteran Blue Devils maintained firm control from the tip.
The Blue Devils won their third straight tournament and their 10th in 13 years, putting them two ahead of the Tar Heels in the all-time standings.
Smith was named tournament MVP after overcoming a jammed toe in the quarterfinals against Maryland and finishing with 10 assists, while Singler had a better showing after struggling mightily against the Tar Heels in the two regular-season meetings. But on Sunday, the supporting cast backed up Duke's senior stars in a way it had failed to do in last week's loss to the Tar Heels that gave North Carolina the ACC regular-season title outright.
Seth Curry had 11 points, including a crucial 3-pointer after the Tar Heels had pulled to within nine. Ryan Kelly added another 3 a few minutes later helped silence North
Carolina's last-gasp push to get back in it and finished with nine points.
Duke shot 62 percent in the first half and 50 percent for the game. The Blue Devils shut down North Carolina's offense and held the Tar Heels to 34 percent shooting in a dominant performance that could put the reigning national champions in line for a No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Harrison Barnes struggled to get things going a day after scoring a tournament freshman record 40 points against Clemson, finishing with 16 points to lead the Tar Heels.
Tyler Zeller had 14 points while John Henson added 10 points and 18 rebounds, but North Carolina never looked anything like the team that had won 19 of 21 games and handled the Blue Devils with relative ease in last week's 81-67 victory.
Then again, the Tar Heels never looked like themselves in Greensboro at all.

Kentucky defeats Florida 70-54 to win SEC once again
ATLANTA — The Kentucky freshmen donned their championship caps, cut down the nets and hopped around like this something new to them.
For the Wildcats, though, this was just business as usual at the Southeastern Conference tournament.
Brandon Knight scored 17 points, Darius Miller hit two crucial 3-pointers and No. 15 Kentucky cruised to another SEC title, routing regular-season champion Florida 70-54 on Sunday.
Which, of course, it was.
"The way my team is playing right now, let's have it! Come on! Bring it!" coach John Calipari said of the NCAA tournament. "This is a very smart team. The basketball sense of this team, the savvy."
The 12th-ranked Gators (26-7) had a miserable day shooting, especially guards Kenny Boynton and Erving Walker. They combined to go 7 of 26 from the field, their woes epitomized in the closing minutes when they put up back-to-back airballs trying desperately to bring Florida back.
Kentucky (25-8) streaked into the NCAAs with its sixth straight win, second straight SEC tourney crown and 27th title overall more than every other school combined.

NO.1 KANSAS

C
Coach Bill Self thought his team was a lock for a No.1 seed after defeating Oklahoma State on Thursday, and this was no surprise. Kansas will be traveling to Tulsa, Okla., before it potentially moves on to San Antonio, where it won the National Championship in 2008. Kansas will most likely get by Boston with ease, because a No.16 seed has never defeated a No.1 seed. The Jayhawks could see either No. 8 UNLV or No.9 Illinois. This is the third time in four years that UNLV is on the 8/9 line when Kansas is the No.1 seed. It will be a sentimental matchup if it is either team because former Jayhawk Quin trell Thomas is now a Running Rebel and sophomore guard Elijah Johnson was recruited by UNLV. If Kansas plays Illinois, then there's the history of Self's former team

A five seed might be a little generous. Kansas State did finish the season strong, but that might be looked at a little too much. This team faces a very senior-heavy Utah State squad, whose fans travel very well. If the Wildcats do advance out of the Second Round, it will most likely face Wisconsin, who defeated the No.1 overall seed Ohio State earlier in the season. Kansas State was lucky enough to make it in after its start in conference play, but its stay in the tournament might not be as long as it hoped.
It is shocking to see Texas as a four seed, especially in the West Region. A few weeks ago, before Texas lost three of its last five conference games, Texas was considered one of the best, if not the best, team in the nation. After Saturday's loss to Kansas, Texas looked like a two seed, but the NCAA Selection Committee didn't see it that way. Texas has proven itself and has what it takes to make it to the Final Four.

first game against Florida State, but if it does advance to the Third Round, it will play a Notre Dame team that is only 72 miles away from home. Texas
A&M will be able to slow down the tempo, which doesn't bode well for Notre Dame. Texas A&M played some great basketball against Missouri on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament and coach Mark Turgeon should be pleased heading into the NCAAs.

Missouri was only 1-7 on the road in conference play and it will play a conference caliber team in Cincinnati. The Bearcats are a tough team to rebound against, but if the Tigers can control the tempo, they will have the upper hand. The 11 seed is a little under-seeded, just like the rest of the Big 12, except for Kansas, which was spot on, and Kansas State, which was over-seeded. If Missouri wins, it will most likely face Connecticut, which is coming off five wins in five days to capture the Big East Conference Championship. UConn likes to play an up-tempo game with Kemba Walker running the show. Missouri doesn't have anybody who will be able to guard him, making Missouri out in the Third Round at the latest.

the younger players on the team, but is concerned for the seniors who never had the opportunity to play in the big dance. This team should have been in, considering it defeated No. 5 Kansas State three times. It had six wins against the RPI Top 50. Many bracketologists had Colorado in, but the NCAA Selection committee didn't see eye-to-eye. This team will most likely be the favorite to cut down the nets in New York City, with Alec Burks and Corey Higgins leading the way.

COMMENTARY
What's to come in NCAA
1990-2005
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Aone seed is just a title. Will Kansas fall early in the NCAA tournament, or go all the way? Here's a look at potential opponents on the road ahead.
(16) Boston University: I'm Beantown-bred, but I hold no qualms here. Jordan Juenemann has a better chance at a double-double than the Terriers' chances of beating the Jayhawks.
(9) Illinois: Bill Self could be taking on his former team in the second round. Luckily, Self's with us, so guys on par with Deron Williams and Dee Brown cannot be found. Point guard Demetri McCamey has premier talent, but lacks consistency.
Second Round
(8) UNLV. Long gone is the Tarkanian era, but the Runnin' Rebels should not be taken lightly. Their shaky offense is masked with pesky man-to-man defense that
(13) Morehead State: Let's get this out of the way: this school is a respected institution and not a region of pubescent dreams. I don't think the Eagles have enough scorers to get out of the first round, but their 416 field-goal defense could prove me wrong.
often installs full-court pressure. And we all know that Kansas is no lock to get past the second round.
Sweet Sixteen
(12) Richmond: The Spiders possess an NBA-bound duo with point guard Kevin Anderson and power forward Justin Harper. They didn't beat anyone scary this season, but they've got classic upset ingredients: steady zone defense and rain showers of threes.
(5) Vanderbilt: Every year, it seems the Commodores are positioned with a similar seed, and often fall to some hungry, smaller school. Siena in 2008. Murray State last year. I'm sensing a trend here.
(4) Louisville: Hidden beneath the goliaths of the Big East, the Cardinals can reach the Final Four almost every year. Guard Preston Knowles (no relation to Beyonce) leads a turnover-inducing, three-point firing squad that may pose Kansas with its biggest threat.
Elite Eight (This writer thinks Akron, St. Peter's, Southern California, Virginia
Commonwealth and Florida State won't be around.)
(7) Texas A&M: Those Aggies were awfully bothersome in an ugly 64-51 victory at Allen Fieldhouse on March 2. Their physical defense must be matched with offense that they usually struggle to find.
(3) Purdue: The Boilermakers again lost Robbie Hummel to a knee injury, but they've still got a dangerous senior duo with Big Ten Player of the Year Ja Juan Johnson and E'Etwain Moore. If the Jayhawks get this far, this is my bet for the match.
(6) Georgetown: The Hoyas are another Big East beast, but guard Chris Wright broke a bone in his non-shooting hand. Will they figure it out without Wright or drop in the early rounds?
(2) Notre Dame: With Ben Hansbrough (brother of NBA forward Tyler) at the helm, the Irish are optimistic, but recent history goes against them. They haven't won more than one tourney game since 2003.

All Four/Championship Will it be Pittsburgh, Kansas State, Duke, Connecticut, Texas, Ohio State, Syracuse, North Carolina or someone else? Here's hoping we even care in April.

COMMENTARY
Snubs deserve explanation
BY TIM DWYER
tdlwyer@kansan.com
Mary C.
Tad Boyle, Anthony Grant, Randy Bennett and Seth Greenberg won't receive apologies or explanations from the NCAA Tournament selection committee.
Maybe they should, though.
Those four — who coach Colorado, Alabama, Saint Mary's and Virginia Tech, respectively — were widely acknowledged as the biggest snubs in the NCAA Tournament, glossed over in favor of these last four teams: USC, Virginia Commonwealth, UAB and Clemson.
Greenberg canceled a press conference he had scheduled on Thursday night and Bennett told local media that he was having a hard time understanding how his team wasn't in the tournament field.
Kansas coach Bill Self had
plenty to say on behalf of Boyle and the Buffaloes.
"You beat K-State three times and Texas," Self said about the Buffalooes' performance this season. "To me those are two teams that have a chance to be Final Four-type teams, and I think that speaks for itself right there. Somebody's going to have a gripe every year, but I would say, from my standpoint, and I'm a little biased, I would say Colorado has a reason to gripe as much as anybody."
"I thought they deserved to be in," Kansas guard Tyrel Reed said. "They're a great team. They've got two elite scorers, and they were playing really well at the end."
Colorado's résumé is stronger than most, but it'll wind up on the outside looking in after a .500 season in the Big 12. The Buffaloes are one of only 12 teams in the country to have a winning record against teams in the top 25 of the RPI.
The Jayhawks had plenty of time to comment on the plight of some other schools - Self also said he thought Texas would be a two seed, when they wound up as a four - because they
"I like my team a lot," Self said, "but Ohio State deserved to be the number one overall seed. I think they've been the most consistent performing team. When we play really well, I think you can make a case for us, but we haven't been as consistent playing to that level as they have."
are camped comfortably atop the Southwest region as the No. 1 seed. Along with them, Ohio State, Pitt and Duke are the other one seeds, with the Buckeyes taking the top overall spot.
Throughout the selection show, the camera cut to live feeds of each team as it watched the announcement. Most teams, predictably, reacted with excitement bordering on jubilation. When the camera cut to Kansas, though, there was scattered applause, but the joy was muted.
"We're all excited," senior guard Brady Morningstar said. "We've just been through this process a lot of times. We knew we were going to be a one seed."

Team looks to seniors for strength
BY ALEC TILSON
atilson@kansan.com
After Eastern Michigan battered the Kansas baseball team this weekend, winning decisively in two of three ballgames, the Jayhawks found themselves in limbo. The Jayhawks, a week away from conference play, are searching for an identity, some character-defining aspect of its makeup.
After falling behind 6-0 in the fourth inning on Saturday, coach Ritch Price didn't see the fight he expected from his team, and said he didn't think they were very competitive. Which could be why there was no walk-up music for hitters or pitchers on Sunday, a unique and individual privilege usually allowed players.
"Any time you put your college baseball team together, you're counting on the upperclassmen on your roster to carry your club." Price said.
To find that toughness, it's only natural to look to the upperclassmen to demonstrate that grind-it-out mentality.
It's no surprise, then, that opposing pitching this year differs from a year ago; the team did lose 139 RBI and three bats that hit above .330. With that protection gone, it's been a struggle to figure out opposing pitchers.
adjusting to that."
"It's just a process," Waters said.
"I'm not being pitched the same.
This year, I work into a 2-0 count
and I'm geared up to hit a fastball,
I get a changeup. So it's just been
Much of that pressure sits on the seniors in the lineup: shortstop Brandon Macias and outfielders Jimmy Waters and Casey Lytle. Given that this team does not have the pop last year's roster had, the process of scoring runs has required patience and maybe more creativity.
Macias, Waters and Lyle are in the lineup every day — Macias sat one game against Southern Utah — and are adjusting to the added weight. If they were in the choir last year, this year they've got lead roles.
This series showed positive signs for each of them. Lytle had five hits, Macias had four and Waters three. They combined for two runs, but did not manage any RBI.
Lytle admits, as a senior and a leader, that the other details, apart from swinging the bat, matter just the same.
"When things aren't going your way, you want to make sure you show every day that you still got that confidence and that little bit of swagger in you," he said. "When you come to park every day, those younger kids can learn that, OK, he might have had a bad day yesterday, but he's coming in here every day playing hard on defense, running the bases hard and doing everything else he needs to do."
Senior starting pitchers T.J. Walz and Wally Marceliel shoulder the same expectations of leading a team that, as Price put it, is "not very mature yet."
Walz (2-2) did his job as the Friday starter by allowing two runs. He struck out 10 batters and walked just one, but the Jayhawks could not build on that momentum. Marcel (2-2), who was chased in the fourth inning on Saturday, is keeping a level head about the weekend.
"You've just got to learn from it," he said. "You can't really dwell on it too much. That's how you get better — you learn from your mistakes."

Tournament to remember
Tyshawn Taylor
Taylor was excellent against Colorado in the semifinals, but that game didn't hold a candle to his performance against Texas in the championship game. Taylor finished with 20 points, five assists against two turnovers and four rebounds in what was arguably his best performance as a Jayhawk. He played well enough to make the ballot of at least one all-tournament voter I spoke with.

Tournament to forget
Elijah Johnson
Not only did Johnson lose his starting job to Tyshawn Taylor, he also played fewer minutes in the last two games of the tournament than Josh Selby, as well. Selby didn't respond with good minutes for the Jayhawks, so there'a definite chance that Johnson is at least the No.2 point guard in the NCAA Tournament. But considering where he was a week ago, competition for the backup spot is not where he wanted to be.

Championship victory redeems earlier loss
BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY. Mo. Redemption is spelled: Big 12 Champions.
After Friday's 90-83 semifinal victory against Colorado, some Jayhawks didn't care whether they faced Texas or Texas A&M. But if they had to choose, they wanted Texas. They wanted to avenge the loss earlier in the season.
Kansas improved to 8-1 in the championship game after an 85-73 victory against Texas, which fell to 0-5 in the championship game.
On Jan. 22, Texas went into Allen Fieldhouse and snapped Kansas' 69-game winning streak with a 74-63 victory, a day after sophomore forward Thomas Robinson's mother Lisa died.
Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said that the team's attention span was somewhere else. He said the team knew it had a game the next day, but the focus was on more important things.
"Our focus for that game kind of dropped a little bit," Taylor said, "We were fully focused for this game."
Junior forward Marcus Morris didn't want to make an excuse, but said that the first game wasn't a fluke and that the team wasn't a full strength.
"Since the loss we've been talking about that we really wanted another shot at them, because a lot of people have been saying that they were the best team in the Big 12," Morris said.
Well, Kansas proved their doubters wrong, even though it
didn't have many. Kansas won its seventh Big 12 regular season conference title in a row after Texas lost three of its last five games of the season. Three of the last five? Doesn't sound like the best team in the conference.
Morris' brother Markieff said he needed to back up the talk about wanting Texas. He did by scoring 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting and he grabbed nine rebounds. All the while, he was one of two Jawhaws and four on the floor to be named to the Big 12 All-Championship team.
“Texas beat us,” Markieff said.
“那 was enough for us to back
the talk up, for us to come out and play the way we played today."
Coach Bill Self said that this was probably the best defense Kansas has played in a while.
"I think that we're getting it together," Self said. "I didn't think our defense against Colorado was any good last night. I thought against Okie State and Missouri and A&M it was much better and tonight was probably the best we played defensively in rebounding the ball, considering that was a big-boy game and there's men out there playing."

WINS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
The Jayhawk pitchers held strong throughout the weekend, striking out 25 batters and allowing only 12 hits. The offense also performed well throughout the weekend, outsourcing its opponents 29-5.
Playing against Mount Saint Mary Friday, the offense did not get going until the sixth inning. Junior outfielder Liz Kocon led off with a single followed by a double from sophomore infielder Mariah Montgomery. Freshman outfielder Elsa Moyer came in as a pinch runner for Kocon and freshman utility Marisa Malazzo did the same for Montgomery.
Newman
Montgomery's hit allowed Moyer to advance to third, then an errant throw allowed Moyer to score a run at home plate. Sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull stepped up next and hit a single, allowing Malazzo to advance. Then a bunt by sophomore outfielder Rosie Hull brought Malazzo home. Maggie stole third and then scored off a bunt by freshman utility Kendra Cullum.
The team showed its full potential Saturday, outscoring opponents 24-2 on the day against Alabama State and Delaware State. Both contests ended in five innings because of the run rule. Senior pitcher Allie Clark pitched a complete game shutout, giving up one run and one walk but striking out four batters.
"We literally batted all the way through our lineup like three innings in a row." Rosie Hull said.
Against Alabama State, nine different Jayhawks recorded a combined season-high 18 hits. Senior catcher Brittany Hile, Kocon and Cullum each recorded a home run. It was Cullum's first career round-tripper.
Clark entered in scoreless relief in the fifth. She allowed one hit while picking up her first save of the year. She struck out three of ten batters.
"Everyone was hitting and it was just so much fun. It was like hit after hit after hit and we were all really excited in the dugout."
In Sunday's game against North Florida, freshmen pitchers Kristin Martinez and Clark kept the Ospreys from becoming an offensive threat. Martinez pitched the first four and one third innings, allowing one run, five hits and no walks.
"I think going 4-0 for a tournament again is just great and each game we played as a team this weekend," Hile said. "We had everything going, our defense, our offense, pitching, everythin. It was a complete team effort."
The weekend showed a return of the powerful team that was 10-0 during the first two weekends of the season. The players are working together to generate runs and outs that lead to wins. This season's team has matched the total win record from the previous season after only five weeks.
LACROSSE
The difference between last season and this season is due to the coaching staff changing the program's atmosphere during the fall and the winter.
"We really have made it a point to work extremely hard and expect to win and go out there every game expecting and wanting to win and not expecting anything less," Smith said. "I think we have a lot of young players, which has helped us. We have a lot of new talent and a lot of depth in the pitching circle, which has helped us as well."

After two losses, victorious weekend at home
In front of a small crowd, the KU lacrosse team put on a huge performance this weekend with blowout victories against St. Cloud State and Arkansas at Lawrence High School.
The Jayhawks, who played their first two home games of the season during the weekend, had a combined weekend score of 35-10.
"We were just laxin' and junk and were able to put it together for
On Friday afternoon the Jayhawks (3-4) bullied St. Cloud State (0-1) for an 18-7 victory. Francis Enright, senior from Winnetka, Ill., led Kansas again in scoring with four goals and five assists.
a good game," Enright said.
Enright also attributed his performance to his teammates, calling Vincent Santucci, a senior from Wichita, the best passer he has ever played with.
It was a quality victory for the Jayhawks, who were coming off two demoralizing losses in Colorado last weekend.
Kansas had the day off Saturday and returned to the turf on Sunday to take on division rival Arkansas (1-3).
Again, Enright led the Jayhawks in scoring with five goals and one assist. He now has 42 points on the season and is averaging 4.67 a game.
The Jayhawks caught fire early and scored often, entering halftime with an 8-2 lead.
Enright was particularly impressive in the second half when he scored after pulling off a spin move to juke a Razorback defender and streak right to the net where he sniped the goalie.
With four games left before the playoffs, Enright will need to finish as strong as he started the season if he hopes to pass his career high point total of 53 from last season.
Toward the end of the game, Kansas coach Dennis Shults put in back-up goalie Ryan Mattie, a senior from Overland Park, at the attack position.
"I told him since he wouldn't be in net today that if we got up 12 goals I'd put him in," Shults said.
The Jayhawks kept feeding Mattie the ball in hopes that he would score a goal, but he wasn't
able to put one in the net.
Kansas ended up demolishing Arkansas with a final score of 17-3. The victory keeps the Jayhawks undefeated in the Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference, and makes them 5-4 overall this year.
On the whole, the weekend went very well for the Jayhawks. Shults said he was very satisfied with his team's play, with their only problem being too many penalties.
"We got to rotate all of our players this weekend, so from a team standpoint, the weekend went really well." Shults said.
The Jayhawks have three weeks off and will return to play versus divisional rival Nebraska on April 2 in Lawrence.

Sullinger leads No.1 Ohio State in Big 10
INDIANAPOLIS — Jared Sullinger had 15 points and 11 rebounds and No. 1 Ohio State defeated Penn State 71-60 in the Big Ten tournament final on Sunday to strengthen its case for the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Sullinger, the tournament's most outstanding player, averaged 16.3 points and 14 rebounds in the tournament to help the top-seeded Buckeyes (32-2) repeat as champions.
William Buford scored 18 points and Jon Diebler added 15 for the Buckeyes, who also won the league's regular-season title.
Talor Battle scored 24 points
and Jeff Brooks added 19 for Penn State (19-14), which reached the final for the first time.
The Nittany Lions haven't reached the NCAA tournament since 2001. Penn State was trying to become the first team since Iowa in 2001 to win four consecutive games to claim the title.
The Buckeyes won their seventh straight game and became the second team in conference history to play in the final for three straight years. They became the first repeat tournament champion since Michigan State in 1999 and 2000, and both of those teams reached the Final Four.

Members of The University of Kansas' newest Student Senate coalition announced their platforms this weekend. Renew KU hopes to increase transparency, pump up Senate involvement and bring back beer to the Kansas Union. Casey Briner, Renew's presidential candidate, Josh Dean, Renew's vice-presidential candidate and Justin Hitt, Renew's campaign manager said they drew their inspiration from Student Senate's hyper-involvement during the 1960s.
"Student senate leaders were at the front line fighting for issues important to the student body," Dean said. "Our current Student Senate is isolated from the population it serves and we want to change that."
This is the first year Renew KU will appear on the ballot. The coaition began with a conversation between Briner and Dean about how Student Senate could be improved. Briner, formerly a member of KUnited, and Dean, formerly a member of Envision, said that Student Senate was becoming more of a popularity contest and was falling out of touch with the student body.
Time is money," said Briner. "And if we can save students time we are in turn saving them money and aiding in their educational experience."
RENEW KU PLATFORMS
"Currently it feels like student senate is just waiting for a student group to make a mistake while applying for funds, we want to go to students and to help them, not wait for them to mess up on a form," Dean said.
In an effort to become more accessible to students, Renew KU wants to digitize the rundown of the Student Senate budget and to post the breakdown online. Renew KU also wants to streamline general funding requests and to make those forms available online for student groups seeking funding.
Renew KU wants to provide wireless printing options on campus. Anschutz, Watson and the Kansas Union would all become wireless hotspots where students could print from their mobile device or laptop.
Wireless Printing
Briner and Dean said they were inspired by the Student Senate of the 1960s. Renew KU wants to increase Student Senate presence in all University matters. "We have a lot of influence and we need to exercise it," said Briner. "Student senate in the 1960s was passionate about student issues. We want to reignite that passion."

Campus Dining
Renew KU hopes to alleviate mealtime congestion in the Underground by expanding the dining options in the Kansas Union and adding a Quizno's sandwich kiosk in Anschutz Library.
"There is no room to expand in the Underground so we want to increase the dining options in the Union, which will in turn boost the Union's revenue and traffic. Also for students studying, a dining option in Anschutz will make students' lives easier," Briner said.

Student Senate elections are in April and the KUnited coalition recently held kick-off events at the Jubilee Cafe, 946 Vermont, and at The Barrel House, 729 New Hampshire, to announce the release of their platforms. Student body president candidate Libby Johnson, a junior from Lawrence, said the focus for KUnited's platforms are progress and feasibility.
The issues range from increasing sustainability on campus to decreasing the general education requirements for graduation.
Johnson's running mate, vice presidential candidate Gabe Bliss, said the issues promoted by the coalition are things they know they can get accomplished.
Bliss, a sophomore from Olathe, said they have been meeting with administrators and different organizations in order to tailor the ideas to meet the needs of the students.
KUNITED PLATFORMS
Bike Rentals
In an effort to increase sustainability on campus, KUnited wants to provide bike rentals to all students on campus. The bike rentals would be available for either short-term or long-term periods and although the cost has yet to be decided, Bliss said it would be affordable to all students.
Johnson said she has heard from individuals within the coalition that this is something students want. Johnson said it would provide an affordable alternative to the rising gas prices.
Bliss said support is there from administrators and he suspects by next year KUnited could have the program up and running.
Free Graphic Design
In an effort to remove the burden of student organizations having to find a graphic designer to promote themselves and their events, KUnited would like to provide free graphic design to all students.

The service would be housed in the Student Union and staffed by students with a professional overseer.

Products such as T-shirts, posters and flyers would be available through Jayhawk Graphics. Johnson and Bliss said the service could be implemented quickly because a method is already established and would result in no fee increases.

The University requires 50 to 75 hours for general education. According to Johnson and Bliss, most institutions the size of KU only require 35 to 50 hours. Decreasing the requirements, Johnson said, would enhance the quality of education
Reading the requirements, Johnson said, would enhance the quality of education for students and allow students to tailor their own educational path.
Bliss said that Johnson and himself would advocate for the change if elected.
"Senate has an impact," Johnson said. "But if no one is advocating for this, the time line could take very long."
Bus Stops Along Emery
Currently, according to Bliss and Johnson, there are no KU On Wheels bus stops on Emery Road. KUNited wants to work to add another designated stop point along the road because of the high student population in that area.
The additional stop point would not increase transportation fees or cost more money to implement.
"We want to create better transportation by utilizing the existing program more effectively", Johnson said.
'Friendlier' Student Union
With new renovations to the Student Union, Johnson said one of KUnited's platforms is to make the Union more comfortable for students.
"We want to create a space that will draw students in more." Johnson said.
Ideas about how to make the Union more "student friendly" include more open space seating with "big, comfortable chairs" and more meeting spaces for studying and group projects.

STUDENT SENATE
Committee passes cuts for non-profits
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
Senate's finance committee approved a budget removing all funding for the Willow Domestic Violence Center starting next fiscal year and all funding for the Douglas County AIDS Project, Headquarters mental health services hotline and GaDuGi SafeCenter, which provides sexual assault counseling,starting fiscal year 2013. These proposed cuts, as well as others approved during the committee's March 8 meeting, will go before the full Senate for final approval at 6:30 p.m. on March 16 in the Kansas Room of the Kansas University
Student Body President Michael Wade Smith sent out an e-mail to all senators Monday afternoon attempting to address an on-going controversy in proposed fee cuts to several off-campus social support non-profits.
The cuts to the four groups fueled a series of fliers, Facebook events and an online petition last week as several students expressed their concerns regarding removing funding to Willow, DCAP, Headquarters and GaDuGi from the $15.50 Student Senate Activity Fund.
Smith responded to criticism expressed online and in Friday's edition of The Kansan against removing the student funding, which comes from $2.11 per student, per semester and makes up approximately 5 to 18 percent of the total income of the various groups and $69,327 in total funds from
He said that the proposal was not intended to cut all funding forever, but to find a new way of funding the groups outside of the Student Senate activity fee. The finance committee intends, Smith said, to create a taskforce for the upcoming year to "look at ways to continue service to ensure that no service will be lost in FY13 because of the cuts made this year," he said in the e-mail.
GaDuGI leaders are concerned that Senate is attempting to move toward providing sexual assault services on-campus rather than off-campus, but Smith said that was not the case. He said that student leaders were "wanting to ask the questions about how to best provide services."
Smith also spoke directly with The Kansan Monday afternoon. He reiterated the committee's position that the move will benefit the groups in the long run in that a move to the campus safety fee, for example, may ease the process of fee renewal.
all students.
"I don't think there's a want to do that, but I think there's a deep want to ask if we could do that," he said.
Senate will have an open forum on the cuts from 2 to 3 p.m. today in Alderdon Auditorium of the Kansas Union.

Commissioner appointed but delay causes discrepancy in the calendar
BY ANGELIQUE
MCNAUGHTON
amcnaughton@kansan.com
The Student Senate elections commission appointed Maury Noonan to serve as the election commissioner causing a delay in the release of the elections calendar which led to some discrepancies regarding when Senate coalitions may actually begin campaigning.
Elections commission member Michael Fee, a senior from Hiawatha, said the delay in the appointment of the commission contributed to the delay in the naming of the commissioner.
The commission appointed Noonan, a second-year law student from Emmetsburg, Iowa, as the commissioner the same day they received his application on March 3. The student executive chief of staff, Aaron Dollinger, conducted the search.
The elections commission was named last month.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
NATORI, Japan — Japan's nuclear crisis took a frightening turn for the worse early Tuesday as officials acknowledged that fuel rods at a quake-damaged nuclear reactor had been temporarily exposed to the air, heightening the risk of an uncontrolled release of radiation into the environment.
in extraordinary televised scenes, three executives from the utility that runs the crippled complex in Fukushima prefecture, about 150 miles north of Tokyo, acknowledged that pumps funneling seawater into one of the reactors had halted temporarily, a major setback in efforts
to cool the superheated core.
"We are trying to reopen the valve," said one of the officials from the Tokyo Electric Power Co. as they passed the microphone back and forth among themselves. "The fuel rods are exposed. We are trying to get the pressure down and pump water into the pressure vessel again."
It was the gravest development to date in the crisis brought by Friday's devastating temblor, which triggered a tsunami that wrecked massive destruction on the nation's northeastern coast. More than half a million people have been displaced, and the death toll is widely expected to soar into the tens of thousands.
About 2,000 bodies were discovered Monday at two sites in a single prefecture, or state, one of several pummede by the earthquake, the worst in Japan's recorded history. Whole coastal villages were wiped from the map, and a full assessment of the extent of deaths and damage was expected to take weeks. Meanwhile, hardship and privation in the quake zone grew, with tens of thousands of people spending a fourth night in chilly shelters.
In the parallel crisis at the Fukushima No.1 (Daiichi) plant in the town of Okuma, fuel rods twice were not covered by the seawater being used to cool down the reactor, resulting in exposure for about 140
minutes, the Kyodo News agency reported. Prolonged exposure of fuel rods to air can cause them to heat up and melt at least partly. If they melt completely, they could burn through the containment vessel, causing release of radioactive material into the environment.
Officials at Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety agency were cited by Kyodo as saying that, even in a worst-case scenario, the three troubled reactors at Fukushima No.1 had been depressurized by the release of radioactive steam, which would decrease the destructive effect of any breach.
any breach. Japan's nuclear crisis began Friday soon after the earthquake, when the
huge tsunami destroyed seawalls and pushed far inland, damaging or destroying pumps and generators crucial to safe operations at the complex. The cooling systems of two reactors were seriously compromised, leading to hydrogen explosions Saturday and again Monday in their outer containment buildings.
The current problem is focused on another reactor at the Fukushima No.1 plant, where a 12-mile evacuation zone was established, forcing nearly 200,000 thousand people to flee.
Many disaster victims are frustrated at the lack of direct information from the government on the state of nuclear reactors in Fukushima.

CRIME
Theft dominates campus crime list
BY CHELSEY DERKS cderks@kansan.com
The University and all it represents has a longstanding history of striving to be at the top — from athletics to academics and everything in between. Throw in some inter-conference rivalry, and the desire to be top-notch is kicked up to the next level.
There's one distinctive list, however, on which the University would not want to find itself among the highest ranks — campus crime statistics.
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (The Clery Act) took effect August 1991. It requires college campuses to disclose certain information about campus crimes in a timely manner, as well as provide security policies, said Daniel Carter, director of public policy for Security on Campus, Inc. The nonprofit organization was established and funded by Howard
and Connie Clery, whose daughter, Jeanne, was raped and murdered in 1986 at Lehigh University.
"Colleges and universities were under no obligation to make it known to their campus communities that crime happened on campus - let alone provide any specific accounting of it," said Carter.
Schools must report alcohol and drug violations as well as illegal weapon possession in Clery Act reports. Other crimes are broken down into seven major categories: criminal homicide, sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, and arson.
The most prevalent crime at the University of Kansas is theft, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey, Public Safety Office. Alcohol violations, such as DUIs, MIPs and fake IDs, are included in the Clery reports but are not considered part of the seven crime categories. Theft is unanimously the most prevalent crime across the 11 other campuses in the Big 12 conference — aside
from liquor law violations.
Lt. Mark Shearer, Oklahoma State University Police Department, said he thought theft was the number one issue on college campuses nationwide — especially in recent years.
"The economy has really impacted everyone," said Shearer. "You have the average college student trying to make it on limited funds with the price of gas so high and food cost increases ... so property crime is up a bit."
Although theft is the most occurring actual crime on Big 12 college campuses, many law enforcement officials do not see that as a problem.
"I'd much rather have higher property crimes than crimes against people. Obviously we're not happy about the higher property crimes," said Shearer. "But I think everyone can agree, property can be replaced."

Ranking No.8 in social media
For information on crime at other Big 12 schools see kansan.com
BY ALEX GARRISON
agarrision@kansan.com
The University announced Monday that it was ranked the No. 8 higher education institution in the nation for social education savvy, according to Web Strategy Research, a media research firm in Washington, D.C.
The firm analyzed Facebook, Twitter and YouTube as well as LinkedIn, Flickr and Foursquare usage of 270 colleges and placed the University in the top 5 of colleges with enrollment in the 20,000 to 30,000 students. The survey is thought to be the first of its kind. It "enables university social media decision-makers to compare their level of social media activity against peer institutions, both overall and for specific social media channels," according to its website.
"We appreciate this recognition and will continue to use social media to create stronger bonds with past, present and future Jayhawks", said Corey Stone, associate director of digital media services, in a media release.
The social media accounts are managed by University Relations, the spokesteam for the University, who say they pride themselves on "telling the KU story" through these online platforms.
The KU Facebook page has nearly 135,000 fans. Its news Twitter feed has about 6,000 followers. Foursquare for campus has three pages of established check-in points and on one of the (relatively) older social media sites, the ubiquitous YouTube, the University's page has nearly 900,000 video views.

'Killzone 3'takes trip to Helghan
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
The war against the Helgast rages on in "Killzone 3," despite the death of their leader. At the end of the previous game, Interplanetary Strategic Alliance Sgt. Rico Velasquez killed Emperor Scolar Visari despite orders to take him alive _ and that was exactly the wrong move to make.
The almost human, warlike Helghast are not a people to fold in the face of adversity — that they nuked their aptly named capital city of Pyrrhus to cripple the ISA's land assault is a big clue (to say nothing of the city's name itself).
The survivors of the failed
ISA assault on planet Helghan are now trying desperately to escape the fanatical soldiers out to destroy them, and players once again take of the role of Sgt. Tomas "Sev" Sevchencko, often accompanied by Rico, as he battles through legions of orange-goggled Helghast soldiers (a second player can also join in on the campaign).
The lasting draw, as is often the case in shooters, is the multipayer mode. "Killzone 3" has many improvements over the previous game's already-great offerings.

"Killzone 2" featured a variety of soldier classes to choose from, each with two intriguing powers, but strictly regulated how they were earned.
Players had to earn progressively higher amounts of points to open up new classes and weapons, and each class required a special goal to be met to unlock their second ability. It was time-consuming and required players to spend a lot of time using classes they might not prefer in order to open up one they were interested in.

'Paul is a goofy try at party-loving E.T.
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
"PAUL"
What if the lovable E.T. had been a fun-loving, potty-mouthed party animal? That is the central premise of this comedy about two British nerds (Shaun of the Dead's Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) who befriend an extra-terrestrial near Area 51. The trailer looks silly, but the director is Greg Mottola ("Adventureland," "Superbad"), so we are keeping our hopes up.
"THE LINCOLN LAWYER"
Matthew McConaughey enters the courtroom for the first time since 1996's "A Time to Kill" in this adaptation of Michael Connelly's novel about a lawyer who conducts his business from his Lincoln town car.
"LIMITLESS"
Bradley Cooper is a novelist suffering from writer's block whose life is slowly falling apart—until he starts popping illegal pills that allow him to make full use of his brain's abilities and turn him into a super-genius. But the drug has unforeseen side effects, and the proverbial hell soon breaks loose. Robert DeNiro co-stars as a Wall Street tycoon who takes an interest in the new Brainiac who seems to know everything about everything.
"THE HOUSEMAID"
South Korean thriller about a live-in nanny who is seduced by the man of the household—and is then made to pay dearly for her transgression by the man's wife and the family's loyal, vicious maid.

For the last time, the "curse" of the B schools only applies to double B's: Bucknell Bison, Bradley Braves. Boston's mascot is the Terriers. We're fine. (Especially since a 16 seed has NEVER beaten a one seed.)
Why yes, I do keep a list of every guy I've hooked up with and rank them. What does that make me? A bad person? Or just really organized?
Charles Barkley picked us to win it all... Count it!
Cold weather = nuts to butts on the bus!
I wish KU would post encouraging notes on the home page like, "If we get X more inches of snow, we'll cancel school tomorrow!"
I wish I could actually say something in my foreign language. Sometimes Latin sucks.

Cliché excuses for rejection worsen situation more than truth
RELATIONSHIPS
"I'm not looking for a relationship right now"
"I'd really like to be friends."
"I need some me time right now."
"I'd really like to focus on my career/
school/blah blah blah."
I am sure there are some people out there that cried at least once just now. We have all heard these lines and maybe even used them. Who needs a break-up line when we have time-tested letdown lines like these?
Don't get me wrong. There are times when these types of lines are the truth. The person really isn't looking or wanting a relationship, or they'd prefer to just be friends. However, there are plenty of instances when the person says it just as an excuse to get out of a relationship or to not hurt a person's

feelings.
While I agree that not hurting someone's feelings can be admirable, I do not believe that it's always the best choice. By using these types of lines, unless they are the truth, people are doing no one really any good in the long run. Yes, the lines may make someone feel better for a little while, but there are at
least two ways that making excuses is not the best way to go.
First, excuses do not always take care of the actual problem. The person that is being let down is still around, and maybe, just maybe, thinks they still have a shot. I know I have heard this line plenty of times: "He/she just won't get the hint. I don't know how else to let them down." They're not getting the hint because it's just that, a hint, a clue. They have to figure it out for themselves. There are times when hurt feelings are what needs to be happen. If the person isn't getting the fact that they aren't wanted in the relationship sense, then let the truth fly.
Second, and this is more important to me, part of being confident is knowing how to deal with rejection, both
There is one line that can help out. It rejects the other person, but doesn't put the blame on them, if that's a worry: "I'm just not feeling this." It's true, it's not harsh. If that doesn't work, there's always the truth: "It's not me, it's totally you."
giving it and receiving it. When we use one of these excuses to deal with an unwanted situation, we rob both ourselves and the other person the experience of being rejected. Rejection is not the coziest thing to deal with, but it's part of life. When we actually face it, we are doing both parties a service in the long run, although probably not in the short run.

HEALTH
'GTL'lifestyle of 'Jersey Shore'cast exemplifies unhealthy behavior
I think we can all agree to some degree that MTV's "Jersey Shore" is entertaining. The show provides a comical escape from the typical day of classes, reading and work.
I started thinking what my life would be like if I was a member of the cast. My name would be changed to Mooki, and I would be Snooki's "bestie." I would trade in my clinical textbooks for a margarita at 10 a.m. and leave my job at Watkins Health Center to be a professional T-shirt printer.
P. R. S. VARUWALI
I would have sore arms from all the fist pumping I did, but at least I would have toned biceps. It could work. I'm already tan (naturally thank you) and have the dark hair.
But here's THE SITUATION: I would most likely die by the age of 40. The lifestyle of the GTL cast may be appealing on the screen, but unhealthy, irresponsible and disrespectful in real life.
Last year Jay Leno asked Snooki how she would change the world. She stated she would tannin tanning beds in every home. Tanning leads to premature aging of the skin and cancer such as melanoma. How appealing is orange skin anyway?
The Jersey Shore house must be a cesspool of STDS. Casual sex is so integral to the show that they have designated a room for it: the Smush Room. What is worse than bringing home a random person you do not know or having sex when your roommate is one foot away is doing it with NO protection?
Smushing may be fun at the moment, but the accumulation of herpes, chlamydia and gonorrhea would beg to differ. Because everyone lives in such close quarters, the STDS could easily be spread from sharing toilets or the hot tub. Bacteria thrive in moist environments and chemicals in the hot tub will not kill any STDs or sperm. Just use a condom! I do not think the world could handle baby Guidos running around.
One reason that can account for all the unprotected sex includes the state of mind of the cast. They are highly intoxicated at least twice per show. They drink when they are upset, happy or bored.
BY MONICA SAHA msaha@kansan.com
This is dangerous on many levels. Ronnie has been arrested for aggravated assault when intoxicated. Snookie was punched at a bar and arrested for disorderly conduct at their Seaside Heights hangout.
Not only does violence and aggression amplify, but also it is unhealthy for your body to consume that much alcohol a week. Binge drinking leads to addictive behavior, abdominal fat and heart and liver complications. Luckily they have the G to go along with the TL to take care of those excess calories.
Ronnie and Sammi are the perfect example of an unhealthy relationship. They fight more in season three than talk. Ronnie cheated on her twice in the second season. Sammi was more upset at her girlfriends for not telling her first at Ronnie for actually cheating on her, which resulted in the loss of her girl friendship. Ronnie and Sammi constantly scream at each other, and they did not trust one another. Then it usually leads to an epic-crying episode. What kind of relationship is this? Parasitic.
It begs the question why people, including myself, watch this show? It is funny, embarrassing, dramatic and entertaining all at once. Regardless, "Jersey Shore" glamorizes unsafe lifestyles by promoting unethical behaviors. When I analyze it, I would never give up my college life here to live at that house. Unfortunately, Snooki will gross more money in one episode than I will make as a starting salary after I graduate.

HUMAN RIGHTS
Some Kansas lawmakers still oppose the legality of homosexuality
PRESIDENT
But this trend of public officials intent on wasting time, being shamelessly ideological and willfully ignorant doesn't stop at the federal government. Lest you think that state-level politicians are doing anything different, such as working on real problems and addressing the needs of their constituents, but it's not the case.
Earthquakes, nuclear reactors, Libya, Wisconsin, taxes, job crisis, food crisis, women's health — what other big, potentially catastrophic news items are there that I'm missing? There's enough heavy news going on right now to make your head spin. Americans are being attacked from all sides and getting continually disappointed by no one in power doing anything to help anyone.
Recently, Kansas got the opportunity to finally repeal its law criminalizing homosexual conduct in a cleanup
BY ALI FREE
afree@kansan.com
However, Representatives Lance Kinzer (R-Olathe) and Jan Pauls (D-Hutchinson) removed the provision for repeal from the version of the bill that passed out of the House Judiciary Committee.
bill. This law is now unconstitutional, according to the Kansas Equality Coalition, as per the Lawrence v. Texas Supreme Court case, which nullified all state laws criminalizing sexual activity between people of the same sex in 2003.
The reasoning of Kinzer and Pauls
is that this provision could cause controversy among other representatives and senators. They argued the cleaned-up bill would have a better chance of passing. The law is unenforceable, they said, and according to Kinzer quoted in the Topeka Capital-Journal, "It wouldn't make any difference" whether it was removed or not.
It may not make any direct legal difference. People have sex with whomever they want and don't go to prison for it, despite its legality.
But it's an unconstitutional law. It's a law that, even if only symbolically, tells certain Kansans that their government doesn't support them. This action tells the people of Kansas that gay sex is still weird and wrong, and it's a reminder that we have come just a small distance from when these laws were enacted and people were prosecuted.
Maybe this isn't such a big deal.
Maybe, this "tempest in a teapot," as Kinzer said, just isn't worth trying to repeal. But I don't think so. This in itself isn't much, but it stands in context with state ban on same sex marriage, the lack of recognition for civil unions and the lack of a statewide antidiscrimination law protecting sexual orientation and gender identity. All of these things taken together declare that Kansas is legally and politically hostile toward non-heterosexual people.
That's not exactly news, I know. Even with the steps toward social and cultural acceptance of gays and lesbians, there remains an alarmingly vocal contingent of those whose anachronistic intolerance makes even a repeal of an unconstitutional law banning gay sex impossible.

Parking on campus is convienent,but could be costly
CAMPUS
BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com
The slush-covered Mt. Oread looms in the distance as cold and tired students trudge through the snow, wishing they could drive on campus.
Standing in the way of this wish campus are information booths, like guard towers, strategically placed in the middle of the road to protect campus from the excessive use of vehicles.
"It's primarily a safety issue and a congestion issue," Callle Long, business manager for KU Parking and Transit, said. "We have so many people, particularly between classes, walking on campus that it would be difficult for vehicles to get anywhere."
KU employees man each information booth and are also repson-sible for determining which cars will be allowed access to Jayhawk Boulevard. If it's between 7:45 a.m. and 5 p.m. on a weekday, there's no getting past the guards without a special pass. But how do you get your hands on such a pass?
"It's primarily a safety issue and a congestion issue."
Long said there are different permits allowing people to drive on campus. These permits are explained below.
1. GOLD PERMIT
This one is basically akin to Willy Wonka's golden ticket. It opens nearly all spots on and around campus and allows access to campus at anytime.
CALLIE LONG
Business manager
for KU Parking and Transit
If you a professor or student, don't expect to have an easy time acquiring one of these permits. According to the KU Parking and Transit website, gold permits are
available only to employees who have "a combined age and years of service to the University of 70, and also work in a building that is within the central core of campus. These
permits are valid in gold, blue, red, yellow, Park & Ride, and University Housing zones, except at Alumni Place (scholarship halls)."
Long did say that golden tickets are on rare occasions granted to students.
"It has to be some sort of really
out of the ordinary situation" she said.
Students have to lobby for the permit in front of the parking commission. The student body president, for example, possesses a gold permit, which costs $285 a year.

2. RETIREE PERMIT
3. REGISTERED HANDICAP PLACARD
KU Parking and Transit employees in information booths make sure that no one gets on campus, unless they have a proper permit.
A former university employee who has retired can purchase a permit for $75 a year or $45 a semester, which allows them to drive and park on campus.
A person with a handicap placard can register with KU parking and transit. After they register, they are given a registration sticker to display in their vehicle. This sticker grants driving access to campus as well as access to handicap parking spots on campus. Registration is free.
Howard Ting/KANSAN
4. MEDICAL PERMIT
KU Parking and Transit can issue a short-term medical parking permit for students who have a medical condition making close parking necessary. Students must have a doctor's notice on a prescription pad or letterhead explaining the medical condition. The condition must be short term, lasting for 1-3 weeks. According to the parking
and transit website "A medical permit costs $10 per week in gold zones regardless of what type of parking permit you have now."
Vehicles belonging to KU service employees who need to be on campus, as well as private contractors working on campus, will receive a service/construction permit allowing them to drive on campus. Each permit costs $300 for one year.

LIFE AFTER GRADUATION
7A
It's a tough job market for new graduates
BY JACK RAFFERTY editor@kansan.com
Last May, walking down Memorial Hill to commemorate the completion of his finance degree from the University of Kansas, Andrew Zarda had little idea of what the future had in store for him. He never would have guessed he would soon be spending 60 hours a week training employees, bidding contracts, managing payroll and waking up at 4:45 a.m. to drive his employees to work to keep his company, Harvest Hiring, in business.
With no job offers after 10 applications and four interviews, Zarda, a graduate from Shawnee, decided to take matters into his own hands and founded Harvest Hiring. According to its website, Harvest Hiring is "a contract labor company dedicated to finding employment for disadvantaged communities while providing high quality, low cost and dependable labor to surrounding Kansas City businesses."
"During college I volunteered with Bhutanese refugees in Kansas City and found that it was very difficult for them to find jobs on their own," Zarda said.
He didn't realize until forming Harvest Hiring that his knowledge in business could be a vessel for his love of helping others.
"I still wanted to be able to help the Bhutanese find employment but
I knew I needed to find employment for myself," Zarda said. "I came up with a way to solve both problems by starting an employment company that works to find employment for refugees and others seeking work."
A TOUGH MARKET FOR NEW GRADUATES
While the Kansas unemployment rate continues to hover near 6.4 percent, 3 percent below the national average, many college graduates are facing the same predicament that Zarda faced.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there were 3.2 million jobs available across the country in November, but with many jobs requiring specialization and more than 14 million unemployed Americans it is still a challenge to find employment upon graduation. Such was the case for KU graduate Heather Miller. After graduating with a degree in music performance, Miller sought employment as a high school band instructor, but many school districts had no positions available because of state and federal budget cuts.
During college Miller worked as an office assistant for Mary Kay, selling beauty products. This job allowed Miller to earn a good income and continue to teach flute lessons.
motivated women, travel throughout the year, and continue to teach flute lessons so I felt it was a perfect fit," said Miller.
"I realized Mary Kay was a career that would enable me to work with
Miller didn't mind that her position with Mary Kay was not music-affiliated because her income exceeded what she would have earned as a band instructor.
Many graduates like Miller work in fields not related to their degree or in fields that do not require a college education.
According to a May, 2010 New York Times article, Andrew Sum, an economics professor at Northeastern University, found that only 51 percent of college graduates under the age of 25 were working in jobs that require college educations, down from 59 percent in 2000.
For graduates who choose not to work in retail, as a barista, or some other entry level position not related to their area of study, there are few remaining options in the marketplace.
GRADUATE SCHOOL
Some KU graduates opt to begin graduate school rather than enter the work force. While earning a graduate degree, students are eligible to postpone student loan payments accrued while earning their undergraduate degree. It is this benefit and the belief that a graduate degree will increase the individual's chances of future employment that has lead to
the three percent increase in graduate enrollments in the United States, according to the Council of Graduate Schools.
HUMANITARIAN WORK
For some graduates, the desire to travel and serve the less-fortunate outweighs the desire to further their careers in academia or find employment. As of January, the Peace Corps had 8,655 volunteers serving in 77 countries and Americorps had approximately 74,689 volunteers serving in all 50 states. Both organizations, which are funded by the U.S. government, offer volunteers the ability to defer student loan payments while earning a monthly stipend to cover living and housing expenses.
"The LRA needs to be stopped and the people of the Congo and northern Uganda need to be protected and if I can help with that, then sign me up," Linderer said. He will spend the next six months
Many non-profit organizations, such as Invisible Children, a nonprofit organization seeking to end the conflict in Uganda and stop the abduction of children for use as child soldiers, offer no financial support for volunteers. This did not discourage former KU student Alex Linderer, who spent six months of his life living in a van while travelling the country to help raise awareness for the organization.
FAST FACTS
- As of November, 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that there were 3.2 million jobs available across the county, but more than 14 million people unemployed.
- According to a study highlighted in a in May, 2010, New York Times article, 51 percent of college grads under 25 worked jobs that required a college degree.
- 900 people applied to the Invisible Children's spring internship.
75 were accepted.
- As of January, 2011, the Peace Corps had 8,655 volunteers

traveling throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois with three other volunteers screening the organization's newest documentary. After each screening volunteers will be asking the audience to financially support Invisible Children's expansion into the Democratic Republic of Congo.
For the 900 individuals that applied for Invisible Children's spring internship and for the 75 individuals accepted including Linderer the opportunity to help bring relief to a war stricken nation outweighs the comfort of financial security.
"I've seen and love the way Invisible Children lights little fires in people all over the country, injecting hearts with purpose and love. It's infectious, and it changes lives and I want to be a part of it," Linderer
said.
"Living in a van with three other volunteers I have nothing in common with is difficult everyday," Linderer said. "I work around the clock without reward, without pay and without thanks, but I still have to be patient and those I meet on the road. I believe this experience has sharpened me into a better human being, which is what I need so I can live a good life and take care of people. That is what nurses do they take care of people. They show compassion in their lowest moments. They sit next to the dying, the sick, the afraid and say 'I am with you, and that's beautiful and that is what I want to be."

Jayhawk Buddy System promotes safe spring break
BY SARAH HOCKEL
shockel@kansan.com
For most students, thinking of spring break brings to mind a week of stress-relieving fun, not thoughts of being safe. That's why this year, the Jawahry Buddy System is making an effort to remind and show students how to have a safe, fun spring break through a safe spring break campaign.
break campaign
The Jayhawk Buddy System is heading a campaign that encourages students to make safe choices and watch out for their "buddies" whether they can legally drink or not.

"It's a protective campaign that's designed to encourage students to make healthy choices and keep their friends and themselves out of trouble," said Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for student success. "Our goals are pretty straight forward; to keep people out of the backs of police cars and ambulances."
BE SMART. BUDDY UP.
Tuesday and Wednesday, it will be on the lawn in front of Strong Hall from 11 to 1 p.m.
This week, Monday through Wednesday, the Jayhawk Buddy System is partnering with several other groups to promote a safe spring break for students. On Monday, the campaign took place inside of the Kansas Union. On

"We developed a tool kit, and that's what we're going to be handling out," said DeSalvo. "What we are hoping to do is promote a really casual, fun atmosphere. There's going to be tables and chairs so people can sit and relax a little bit and have conversation while we are providing them with not only the information, but the tools to be of assistance to their buddies during spring break."
The Jayhawk Buddy System received $40,000 in funding from the Campus Student Advisory Board to fund the campaign.

spring break is a time that often includes alcohol, whether you're at the beach or just sitting outside on your back back in Lawrence. Alcohol can often cause problems, but these problems can be easily avoided if students know how to deal with them, said DeSalvo.
The KU Public Safety Office is also encouraging students to learn protective behaviors.
"It's spring break and we get that, it's a time to go out and have a lot of fun, but in the back of their heads, we just want to remind everybody to be safe and that you've still got to look out for each other," said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.

"We're not saying 'don't go out, don't have fun,' DeSalvo said. "We're saying 'here's the best way to do those things.' And that ensures that you are going to have a full week of fun."

Prankster messes with Texas sign
HOUSTON — A potty-mouthed prankster managed to hack into an electronic sign in downtown Houston, treating drivers to an earthier message than they're used to seeing.
The unknown prankster changed a temporary traffic sign that said "DETOUR" in large orange letters to "POOP" The message was there for most of the weekend.
Then on Monday morning, the sign was changed to "." LOL" before workers managed to change it back to its
standard message.
The Texas Department of Transportation wasn't amused. Spokeswoman Raquelle Lewis told the Houston Chronicle that hacking the onboard computer that controls the sign is disruptive. It's also punishable by a fine of up to $500.
In 2009, a prankster in Austin got national attention by hacking a similar sign to display the message:"Zombies in area! Run!"

Jayhawks to face Shockers to begin WNIT
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
After seven Big 12 teams were taken in the NCAA Tournament, Kansas was left behind for the Women's National Invitational Tournament. As the top finisher, not already taken, the Jayhawks received the automatic berth for the Big 12 conference.
Kansas will host Wichita State on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the first round of the tournament. Kansas is one of three Big 12 schools included in the 2011 WNIT.
Kansas finished the season with a 20-12 overall record and a semifinals loss in the Big 12 Tournament to champion Baylor.
The Jayhawks have played in the WNIT the last four seasons with the most memorable being their WNIT finals run in 2009. Kansas faced South Florida in front of a record-setting crowd at Allen Fieldhouse.

Tough test in Fayetteville
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The Kansas baseball team will have a tough time breaking their two-game losing streak in their matchup tonight at No. 9 Arkansas.
The layhawks are coming off of an underwhelming series with Eastern Michigan, in which they lost the last two games by a combined total score of 18-5.
The Jayhawks have struggled at the plate all season, and while the final results weren't what the Jayhawks were looking for, the team has seen slight improvements. Their batting average improved
Coach Ritch Price sees the team's slow-but-sure improvement at the plate and believes that things will ultimately even out.
The Jayhawks are taking on an Arkansas team that made the NCAA Super Regionals last season. The Razorbacks defeated the Jayhawks 15-3 last season and are taking a record of 13-2 into Tuesday's game.
"It's a four month season, and those things all average out," Price said. "We just have to keep the right approach in our dugout."
from .198 to .224, and their average runs scored per game is up to 3.2 from 2.9.
The Razorback offense, lead by
For the Jayhawks to come out of Fayetteville with a win, they will have to take advantage of freshman pitcher Ryan Stanek. Stanek has started three games this season for the Razorbacks and has an ERA of 6.19.
Hoping to stifle the potent Arkansas offense will be Jayhawk sophomore pitcher Thomas Taylor. Taylor is 2-0 in two starts for the Jayhawks with an ERA of 2.81. Taylor throws the ball over the plate with precision, only walking one batter in 16 innings pitched this season.
The Jayhawks need to swing with success to give themselves their best chance for victory. Sophomore third baseman Jake Marasco leads the Kansas offense with an average of .389 and is riding a six game hitting streak into the series.
senior Kyle Robinson, is batting .303 as a team and averaging 8.1 runs a game. Robinson is batting .403 with three homeruns and 21 RBIs.
and Jimmy Waters have yet to turn things around. Waters is batting a lowly .179, and Lytle is also struggling at .207. Lytle, however, knows that for the Jayhawks to win some ball games, it's going to take more than just hitting.
"The hitting is going to come around," Lytle said. "You've got to make sure that you show the rest of the lower classmen that it's not just about hitting; it's about all the other parts of the game."
Today's 3 p.m. game will be the Jayhawks' last chance to correct and work on their issues before conference play begins on Friday.
The Razorbacks are also led by one of the best coaches in college baseball, Dave Van Horn. Van Horn has been to four college world series and has a record of
332-181 in his nine years with the Razorbacks.
While Marasco has been strong at the plate, seniors Casey Lytle

Colorado Buffaloes get slighted
JONATHAN SCHNEIDER
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodea@kansan.com
On Selection Sunday, players, coaches, the athletics department and media members gathered at Colorado coach Tad Boyle's house to watch the school's sure-fire tournament bid.
A total of 68 teams were selected. Omitted from those names were the Colorado Buffaloes.
And what had the potential to be such an uplifting day turned into a sour reality of how a team could be good, but not good enough.
You can't help but feel sorry for the team. Boyle invited everyone over for what was supposed to be a celebratory event. He was sure his team was getting in.
"It was a festive atmosphere until our name didn't pop up," Boyle said during a Monday teleconference.
"It was pretty uncomfortable," she said. "I don't think coach Boyle would have had that gathering at his house if he wasn't expecting it."
The Colorado media got to see another side of this team when the party's mood shifted. Caryn Maconi, a sports reporter for the CU Independent, the student paper of the University of Colorado, saw some interesting reactions.
During Monday's Big 12 teleconference with coaches from the conference, many of them were upset about Colorado getting snubbed, including Kansas coach Bill Self.
After all of the seeds were announced, Maconi said, the room was silent. Boyle then turned the TV off and led the players to the basement to have a private talk. They seemed to handle the situation well immediately after that.
"Those guys, in my opinion, without any hesitation deserve to be in the tournament," Self said.
The Buffalofoals should have been in the tournament and it shouldn't even be up for debate. In all seriousness, you don't even need to compare the body of work from other teams — Colorado's speaks for itself. With Cory Higgins and NBA lottery pick Alec Burks on your team, that talent should not be wasted.
Self was bold enough to say that Colorado had the best wins in the conference this season.
But the Big 12 tournament should have turned a bubble tournament team into a sure-thing. Colorado made it to the semifinals, giving Kansas an early scare, but came up short.
They finished the season 21-13 while going 8-8 in the Big 12. Colorado coach Tad Boyle didn't even know how to feel.
Those victories include Colorado beating Kansas State - a five seed in the NCAA tournament - three times. It beat Texas when the NCAldorns were ranked No. 5 in the nation and Missouri when the Tigers were ranked No. 8.
"There's no question in my mind that we're one of the best at-large teams playing right now," Boyle said.
They lost to a No.1 seed in style and finish the season hot, 6-3. After all of this, Boyle is still sure they are on the NCAA tournament level.

Stop forgetting the female fans
MORNING BREW
A
As I watched the basketball game last Thursday, my stomach was in knots as I verbally abused my computer screen. The Jayhawks were cutting it way too close in their first game of the Big 12 Tournament, allowing Oklahoma State to remain in a position to take the win. I thought the turnovers and missed opportunities would be the most frustrating thing I saw all day, but I was wrong.

The game went to commercial break and up popped a happy couple enjoying a satisfyingly cheap breakfast at McDonald's. I could tell right away that the commercial was not realistic because the food had color and the couple looked like they could shop at regular-sized clothing stores.

at regular-sized clothing stores. Anyway, the woman complained to the man that her sister's new boyfriend thought that Sundays were for watching football. The man automatically got a panicked look on his face. At first, I thought his arteries had finally clogged and he was going into cardiac arrest, but he was actually picturing the possible repercussions of the answer he would give. If he said what he actually thought, he would get kicked out of the house and his relationship would be over. But, because this man knew a good value when he saw it, like his watery coffee for a buck, he used his head. Instead of telling the woman, "Yep, my Sundays are for watching football and your Sundays are for making me sandwiches," he traded in his man card and simply said, "He's a jerk." The woman

cious meal. The first time I watched this commercial I kind of chuckled. But the more it played throughout the game, the more it began to bother me. I am not a feminist by any means and I realize that commercials use stereotypes to get their point across in the limited time they have, but I, as a female sports fan, was really offended. I know not all women enjoy sports as much as me and a lot of my girl friends do. Last year my female roommate and I would regularly spend our Sundays sitting on the couch watching football.
one of the things that was most shocking to me is that McDonald's is a "genderless" product. Both men and women are likely to want to buy items from them. If this were an ad for macho-man cologne, I could kind of see the marketing strategy in it, but it's not. This ad is marketed toward men rather than women and has the potential to alienate half of their customers. Maybe McDonalds'

I'm not usually one to get offended by this sort of stuff. I like a funny commercial, even if it is at the expense of a certain sex. But this commercial in particular rubbed me in the wrong way. Maybe it was just because it wasn't actually that funny or maybe because it targets something I really care about — football.

It seems like more and more women are taking an interest in sports, and as a woman who wants to end up working in sports media, commercials like these, it seems to take away from our credibility. It's already a long road, especially if you don't look like Erin Andrews, and the way women are portrayed in advertising will just make it longer.

Underdogs in tourney fight for the upset
Most of the fun and excitement in the NCAA tournament comes about because this is the chance for the little guy to jump up and knock out the bully on the block.
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Most folks don't celebrate a No. 2 seed's 25-point beatdown of a No. 15 seed. Instead, folks remember when Richmond upsets Syracuse, Hampton shocks Iowa State and
With that in mind, here's a look at some key ingredients underdogs use to pull first-round upsets (we're talking at least a five-seed difference here, and we're not including any "Big Six" conference teams among the "underdogs").
BOMBS AWAY
The great equalizer in college basketball is the three-point shot.
Not everybody has big-time talent at each position, but a lot of teams have numerous guys who can fill it up from beyond the arc.
APPLY THE PRESSURE
Games can turn on defense, and an underdog who can stay close through whatever means—eventually will get the crowd on its side. Whether it's applying constant pressure, throwing a funky
press at an unsuspecting opponent or playing a tough match-up zone, teams that can play defense often hang around longer than expected.
STARTIME
Think back at the lower seeds that have pulled big upsets in the NCAA tourney; each had a go-to guy who came up large. Arkansas-Little Rock's Pete Myers in 1986.
Chattanooga's Johnny Taylor in 1997. Valparaiso's Bryce Drew in 1998. Weber State's Harold "The Show" Arceneaux in 1999. Kent State's Antonio Gates in 2002. UW Milwaukee's Joah Tucker in 2005. VCU's Eric Maynor in 2007. If there's an upset this season, chances are one guy is going to have a 20-points-plus game, and these teams have to like their chances because of their star players.

Predictions for the tourney's top teams
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
twitter/kansanbball
OHIO STATE EAST/ NO.1 OVERALL
Ohio State has the best starting lineup in America, which is great for them because only five players can be on the court at the same time. Four of its starters average 30-plus minutes per game with the other, senior Dallas Lauderdale, playing 16.2. Ohio State's sixthman freshman Aaron Craft averages 29.5 minutes off the bench. Ohio State really only has six players, which can be a problem if Ohio State gets into foul trouble. The Buckeyes have all the pieces with freshman phenom Jared Sullinger and seniors Jon Diebler and David Lighty. Coach Thad Matta has tournament experience, but if the Buckeyes have to rely on its freshmen, it could be an early exit for the Buckeyes.
Prediction: National Champions
KANSAS SOUTHWEST/ NO.2 OVERALL
When Kansas is good, it is really good. The Jayhawks shot a nation-best 51.4 percent from the field. When Kansas is hitting from deep, it can't be stopped. The Jayhawks have all the parts to make the Final Four: experience, coaching and disappointment from last season. Seniors Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed were on the 2008 National Championship team; they know what it takes to get there. Kansas will need some luck, obviously for the matchups to fall into place, but there isn't a team in the country Kansas can't beat. While Kansas is one of the better defensive teams, statistically, it sometimes loses focus, which will hurt if it isn't making its shots. Can Kansas rely on its defense to win a game? It did against Oklahoma State on Thursday. What about free throws? Kansas is 267th in the nation. The freebies haven't cost Kansas a game, yet, but it might in the next few weeks. If Kansas shoots 29-for-33 like it did against Colorado on Friday, Kansas will be OK.
Prediction: Losing to Ohio State in National Championship game
PITTSBURGH SOUTHEAST/ NO.3 OVERALL
Of the No. 1 seeds, Pittsburgh played the hardest schedule. It played 10 games against ranked opponents, going 6-4. It played 18 conference games in the Big East, the toughest conference this season. Eleven teams from the conference made it to the Big Dance, but that's a whole different discussion. In conference play, the Panthers went 15-3 in conference play and 9-3 against those that made the tournament. Pitt is definitely battle tested and may have the easiest road of any No. 1 team, but the question is whether or not it has the right components to win the whole thing. Junior Ashton Gibbs is averaging 16.7 points per game and coach Jamie Dixon has been to the tournament seven times before this year, but has never advanced past the Sweet Sixteen. This year might be different or it might be the same old same old for Dixon.
Prediction: Losing to Kansas in the Final Four
DUKE
WEST/ NO. 4 OVERALL
There is a reason this team was ranked first in the nation before the season started. It had all the components to repeat as a champion with seniors Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler coming back and freshman Kyrie Irving running the point. Irving injured his big toe on his right foot in early December and has been out since. He participated in shoot-around in the ACC tournament, but his return to play in the NCAA tournament is doubtful. He was the team's leading scorer until his injury, but Smith has stepped up nicely. People usually complain about Duke having an easy path, but this season is different. It will most certainly get by Hampton with ease and will await a matchup with Michigan or Tennessee. Michigan played Kansas and Ohio State close this season, while Tennessee had an up and down type of season. The Volunteers started 7-0 defeating then No. 7 Villanova and then No. 3 Pittsburgh until they lost four of six to unranked teams, three being at home with the two victories by a combined four points. If Duke gets into a three-point shoot-out with either team, Duke might end up like last year's Jayhawks. In three of the Blue Devils' losses they shot 20-for-81 combined from three.
Prediction: Losing to Michigan in the third round
—Edited by Danielle Packer
BEST DRAW: PITTSBURGH
PITT
Pitt's probably the weakest one-seed, but they've got a bracket to walk through. Two-seed Florida should have been a three, three-seed BYU should have been a four without Brandon Davies (sorry, Jimmer), four-seed Wisconsin can't win on the road, and five-seed Kansas State should have been what, a seven? I've got Wisconsin getting to the Final Four, but not with any shred of confidence. If you want to get really crazy with a Final Four pick, there's always Tom Izzo coaching 10-seed Michigan State.
WORST DRAW:DUKE
The always-popular chatter about the committee giving Duke the easiest road won't come this year. They have to travel across the country for the Sweet 16 (assuming they win their first two in Charlotte). There, the Blue Devils will potentially meet up with Big 12 runner-up Texas in the Sweet 16, and either Big East tournament champ Connecticut or Mountain West tourney champ (and 32-2) San Diego State in the Elite Eight. Duke's still the best team in the region, but no favors were granted with this draw.

First and second rounds played in Cleveland, Ohio, Charlotte, N.C. and Tampa, Fla.
— East division final played in Newark N.J.
How about this coaching lineup? Two coaches with national titles under their belts (Roy Williams and Jim Boeheim) and another five with a Final Four. Ohio State is the No. 1 overall seed, but they'll have a tough road to the finals. If seeds hold, the Buckeyes would have to beat a coach with a Final Four appearance prior to this year in every single game to win the title. I don't know if coach Thad Matta's Buckeyes are up to it.
Z Z Z
Sleeper Picks
No. 6 St. John's (Southeast)
The Johnnies are a tough matchup with Dwight Harvey and Dwayne Polee, Jr. leading the charge. New coach Steve Lavin has led an incredible first-year turn around in New York City, and the winning attitude (and a weak region) could spell a deep run for St. John's. I've got the Johnnies in my Elite Eight.
No. 7 Texas A&M (Southwest)
No.7 Texas A&M (Southwest) The Aggies may put you to sleep while they're doing it, but they've got the right coach and the right system to make a deep run.Mark Turgeon has been to the Sweet 16 as a seven seed before, back in 2006 with Wichita State. He's got more talent and No.2 Notre Dame plays a similar brand of basketball to the Aggies.
Wisconsin (Southeast)
The Badgers (great team name) fell flat in the Big Ten tournament, but there's too much talent on the roster for them not to be a threat. Jordan Taylor is one of the best point guards in the country, and forward Jon Leuer has a Morris-like ability to stretch the floor. He averages more than 18 points and seven rebounds. They're in my Final Four.
No. 7 Washington (East)
Isaiah Thomas is a clutch-time threat — see this year's Pac-10 tournament for evidence - and his Huskies aren't far off statistically from the Tar Heels, who they'd meet in the second round.
Cinderellas These double-digit seeds might live to see the second weekend
No. 13 Morehead State
The great Cinderella teams always have that one transcendent guy who can flat out play, regardless of the conference he comes from (remember Steph Curry?). Kenneth Faried, who averages 17.6 points and 15.4 rebounds — he passed Tim Duncan as the NCAA's all-time leading rebounder this year — is the type of guy that can play with anyone in the country. Louisville doesn't have a great post presence, so I'm picking the Eagles. With Richmond or Vanderbilt lined up in the next round, these guys could make a Sweet 16 run before running into Kansas.
No.12 Utah State
Kansas State got overseeded as a five, but then got a brutal 12-seed draw with Utah State. The 30-3 Aggies are ranked No. 17 in the final coaches poll. The Wildcats? No. 23. I'm no bracketologist, but the Aggies as a 12 seed is nothing short of ludicrous. If the Aggiesplay up to their record, they'll make life very difficult for Kansas State in the first round, and whatever teams they go on to play beyond that.
No.10 Michigan State
My bracket sees the Spartans losing in the first round to Jayhawk-killer Tyler Honeycutt and the UCLA Bruins. But is anybody really going to bet against Tom Izzo in the NCAA Tournament? Outside of Mike Krzyzewski (I had to look that up), there's not an active coach with a better tourney resume.

I have Kansas losing to Ohio State because I think Ohio State's starting five are better than Kansas'. If I was looking at depth, Kansas is much deeper. However, Ohio State's starters play 30 minutes each. If Ohio State stays out of foul trouble, it will be hard to stop.

Speaking of Duke, it will be the Kansas of 2011. I have the Blue Devils losing in the third round to Michigan because I think if this game becomes a three-point contest, Duke will miss more times than naught. Duke had trouble with St. John's, Florida State and Virginia Tech, even though Duke is bigger down low because it started jacking up threes.

I would love to see Kansas play Illinois in the third round because I'm from Chicago and my younger brother is at Illinois, and I want bragging rights. But I don't think it will happen given how UNLV is 9-3 in its last 12 games and Illinois is 5-7.

The second round matchup I'm most looking forward to besides UNLV and Illinois is Louisville and Morehead State. These two schools are only 137 miles apart, but will be playing in Denver. I think Louisville will win, but Kenneth Faried is a baller and he could put the Eagles on his back to pull the upset.

Florida is the most overrated team in this tournament. It hardly played the schedule that Texas did and it didn't even win the SEC Tournament. Florida will lose to UCLA, which has only gotten better since it met up with Kansas on Dec. 2.
Kansas' strength shines through doubts; Jayhawks will win all six
I said all along this year that Kansas, for all its talent, never struck me as a national title team. Maybe that's because I spend enough time alongside the program that the flaws stand

out to me. I don't know. It doesn't really matter. Because when it came down to it, as I filled out my bracket, I kept finding myself writing Kansas on the winner's line.
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
I, the doubting Thomas (the Bible kind, not the Robinson kind) of Kansas hoops, just put the Jayhawks as the national champs in my bracket.
There were a few match ups that struck me as favorable for the Jayhawks, including against Ohio State in the national title game. But more than anything, matchups aside, Kansas' talent rivals anyone in the country.
There are a few other notable picks in my bracket. I've got Wisconsin in the Final Four from the Southeast bracket, meaning the Jayhawks would be playing a No. 4 seed instead of No. 1 Pitt, No. 2 Florida or No. 3 BYU.
Wisconsin boasts the most under rated point guard in the country in Jordan Taylor — and perhaps more
importantly than being under-ated, he's flat out good. Taylor averages 18.1 points, 4.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game. Throw in forward Jon Leuer's 18.6
points and 7.3 rebounds, with a Morris-like ability to spread the floor with the three, and I think Wisconsin may actually be the toughest out for Kansas in the entire tournament. Picking the Badgers (which also works if you're the type that picks by more awesome mascot) wasn't so much of an upset for me.
The other two tough draws for Kansas are the other two best teams in the Big Ten. Purdue, Wisconsin and Ohio State all split the season series, each winning one game and losing one game to both of the others.
But Kansas dropped four Pac-10 teams in the regular season. And I think they can take three Big Ten teams in the tournament.

COMMUNITY CUTS?
Forum addresses funding
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
Student body president Michael Wade Smith and treasurer David Cohen held an open forum yesterday afternoon to address concerns over the proposed block allocation fee cuts that would remove all student funding of the Douglas County AIDS Project, the Willow Domestic Violence Center, GaDuGi Sexual Assault SafeCenter and Headquarters Counseling Center by fiscal year 2013, a total of $69,327 in annual funding for the four groups.
Despite a number of complaints regarding the measure, numbers of people at the forum weren't so strong. Thirteen people came, only five of whom were not current senators.
Smith expressed disappointment at the lack of turnout but defended the proposal.
"What I want to stress is that this is not malicious and not done with ignorance," he said.
Casey Briner, Renew KU's presidential candidate, and Josh Dean, Renew's vice-presidential candidate, were present at the meeting, during which Dean pledged to sign a letter with his running mate as well as candidates for KUnited, Libby Johnson and Gabe Bliss, declaring intent to follow through with a proposed task force to find funding for the four services outside the Student Senate Activity Fee, which the finance committee has voted to remove it from.
Dean said the four potential leaders of next year's Senate were all committed to finding alternative funding rather than removing all funding, which several people expressed concerns about, given that the Senate staff will turn over at the end of this year.
The block allocation proposal will go before the full Senate at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Kansas room of the Kansas Union.

Junior Inga Poeting came from Essen, Germany, this semester and is studying German literature and social science. Poeting looks forward to spending part of her spring break with her friend's family in Abilene.
"They were part of the decision to come here," Poeting said. "They feel like my host family."
Poeting said the people she had met during her time here had been helpful.
"I made a lot of friends pretty fast," Poeting said. "I haven't met anyone who wasn't friendly and nice whenever I had a question."

Performance artist visits Spencer Museum
ART
BY LAURA THOMAS lthomas@kansan.com
Nothing but the sound of classic piano could be heard Tuesday from the Spencer Museum of Art, as gatherers watched performance artist Ernesto Pujol turn the museum into his experimental laboratory for the day. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Pujol remained silent, aimlessly scribbling images onto his clipboard as he roamed barefoot around every exhibit.
The task of his visitation was to conceptualize the representation of a human gaze. Pujol, who stages meditative performances around the country, created something specific for his trip to the University.
"He wanted to do something with our art collection," Susan Earle, curator of European and American Art at the museum and curator of the performance, said. "He wanted to bring those to greater attention and inspire students."
His performance was based on the history of painting, which involved subtle gestures through walking, pausing, looking and drawing the entire contents of the museum throughout the day.
This entirely uninterrupted day lasted six hours, allowing Pujol to break for only five short minutes once. In that six hours, he created a flood of white paper around the museum, allowing the audience to follow his journey from room to
room.
"I really appreciated a lot of what he was doing." Matthew Walsh, a senior art student from Kansas City, Kan., said. "It is a solo performance but we have been invited to work with him. A lot of what he does has to do with the idea of community."
A community is exactly what Pujol created as students like Walsh came and went throughout the day, following his lead and trying to absorb each image shown in the museum.
"He's a wonderful person, Ernesto." Earle said. "Our expectation was that people would really engage with our collection and look at art in new ways."
The museum saw great participation from students of all ages. As the clock struck 4 p.m. and the visitation came to a close, the sea of white papers was left to represent Pujol's hours here at the University.

Food Network host recounts journey to TV
Guest lecture was icing on the cake for Duff Goldman fans
jshorman@kansan.com
BY JONATHASHORMAN
lshorman@kapsan.com
In Duff Goldman's world, baking cakes is full of funny business.
Goldman, host of the Food Network show "Ace of Cakes," had the audience laughing during his lecture at Murphy Hall last night.
Speaking as part of SUAs Student Lecture Series, Goldman recounted his life journey from teen-grafitti artist to cable television reality star. It was Julia Child who first sparked his interest in cooking.
"My cartoons were Julia Child." Goldman said.
In junior high, after being arrested for graffiti, Goldman's parents and teachers directed his artistic passions toward sculpture. Yet his interest in cooking remained.
In college, while studying history and philosophy, Goldman began working at a major restaurant in Baltimore knowing that his true calling was cooking. He started low on the food chain, but watched an old French pastry chef closely, learning his tricks and techniques.
After college, Goldman moved on to culinary school. When he discovered a talent for wedding cakes, he started a cake business out of his apartment.
Goldman worked a series of competitions and opportunities until his profile had grown enough
that he was offered a show by Food Network.
"It's not luck'
"You really do
make your own
luck."
Goldman said that his key to success had been to simply do the best job he could. He
existed outside the field they were trained in.

a freshman from Overland Park, said Coldman was hilarious while sending a message.
"Whatever you do, it can lead to a different opportunity," Johnson said.
Goldman also took questions from the audience. One question-
er challenged Goldman to send a Jayhawk cake if the University won the national championship. Goldman said that would require a lot of cake.
Goldman was also asked why he didn't like cupcakes. He said that while he would eat one, cupcakes were unenjoyable to make because of the repetitive nature of the work. He also said a large number of people who made cupcakes falsely believed they could bake.

RESEARCH
KU Geologists make discovery
Geologists at the University have discovered that the oldest examples of life on Earth are, in fact, nothing more than bits of
minerals trapped in ancient rock.
Alison Olcott Marshall and Craig Marshall, assistant professors of geology at the University, began their research when Craig Marshall collected new samples rom Pilbara Craton, Western Australia. They sliced the rock samples into tiny sections and
composed of iron and oxygen, which can take the appearance of bacteria.
examined them with the most advanced spectrometer dedicated to paleontology in the United States, located at the University's Multidisciplinary Research Building.
The research was published recently in the Nature Geoscience journal. The scientists wrote that their research argues for more rigorous testing of microfossils, which is applicable to the search
in an Australian rock formation called the Apex Chert as the earliest evidence of life anywhere. After re-examining samples of the rock formation, geologists at the University found no evidence of any microfossils in the rock They instead found tiny fragments of hematite, a mineral
The scientific community had previously identified the 3.5 billion-year-old fossilized bacteria
for life on Mars. In 1996, researchers who announced the discovery of fossil bacteria on Mars later found that their samples contained mineral fragments instead.

Actor shows his inner 'Sheen'
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNF
LOS ANGELES - Ask Gary Busey about his life these days, and he's likely to flash his trademark toothy grin. He might also jump up and declare, as he did in a recent interview, "he's CRAZY good!"
The 66-year-old actor is keenly aware of the perceptions about him. He knows you think he's crazy. And he knows it has everything to do with a litany of well-publicized highs and lows that span more than three decades in Hollywood; a battle with drugs after his lead actor Oscar nomination for 1978's "The Buddy Holly Story"; a near-fatal motorcycle crash that caused a traumatic brain injury in 1988; an appearance as his "crazy" self on a 2007 episode of "Entrourage"; a stint on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew" in 2008; and an unsolicited neck smooch delivered to a startled jennifer Garner on the
red carpet at the Academy Awards in 2008.
in 2008. The actor was even a punch line on last week's "Saturday Night Live" during a skit where a ranting Charlie Sheen (Bill Hader) read an e-mail praising him for making "perfect sense," adding, "Finally, I know, I'm not crazy." Signed "gbusev69".
Busey's off-kilter personality is on full display again in the latest edition of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice."
Apprentice.
"There's a lot more to Gary than we've seen on 'Celebrity Rehab,' said Eden Gaha, an executive producer on "Celebrity Apprentice." "His whole process is different. The question is whether he's crazy or a genius. He has no filter."
But for those who think Busey is way off the deep end, he's got a message.
"I'm not difficult," insisted Busey, his gruff voice accompanying a graceful waving of his arms. "It's not in my vocabulary. Because of a few difficulties with myself, it caused me to retreat from my true self. After 'The Buddy Holly Story', I went over the rainbow. I didn't know how to handle everything that came at me. It's different now. I've moved on into the light. It was just all a part of the journey of finding me."
findin me.
In many ways, there's a thin line between the new Busey and the former "wild and crazy" Busey. A visitor he had just met was treated like an old friend, with affectionate pats and hugs.
pats and hugs.
During one point in an interview, he suddenly threw a couch pillow at a photographer who was clearing his equipment after shooting Busey. "Am I making too much noise?" "Naw," said Busey with a wide smile. "I just want to show you I like you."

Proposed cuts risk future funding for vital student resources
Recent proposed cuts to important student resources have resulted in ripples of frustration among members of the KU community.
Last Tuesday, the Student Senate finance committee voted to remove all funding for the Willow Domestic Violence Center starting next year and all funding for the Douglas County AIDS Project, Headquarters and DaGuGi SafeCenter, starting fiscal year 2013.
These cuts will go before the full Senate for approval at tonight's meeting.
future.
The proposed bill would remove these programs from block funding status, which is allocated from the Student Senate Activity Fund. The argument is that these programs are not technically student activities, but student services, and should be funded elsewhere in the budget, outside of the activity fund. Michael Wade Smith, the student body president, is working to put together a task force to determine how these services could best be funded in the
By not fully funding these services, students will undoubtedly suffer. The Willow Domestic Violence Center provides shelter, peer counseling, advocacy and other services to survivors of domestic violence; Headquarters provides a mental health services hotline; the Douglas County AIDS Project provides free HIV testing, among other services, and DaGuGi SafeCenter provides sexual assault counseling.
In an interview with The Kansan, Chief of Staff Aaron Dollinger said he was confident the task force would find alternative means of funding by the fiscal year 2013, when block allocation funding for these programs would stop. Therefore, the success of this task force is absolutely crucial. However, the task force is yet to be formed and sometimes even the most well-intentioned task forces fail. Possible failure to fund these programs is a risk Student Senators cannot take.
If Student Senators agree that these programs are essential to the community and should be funded, then they should establish a new funding plan before eliminating the current funds altogether.
Each student pays $2.11 per semester for these services. In an interview with The Kansan, Student Senate Treasurer David Cohen said the money saved from these proposed cuts would not be reallocated to other activities. Therefore, this is not an issue of saving money but an issue of semantics.
The cuts would affect the Douglas County AIDS Project, Headquarters, DaGuGI SafeCenter and Willow Domestic Violence Center. Even if contributions per student are relatively small, with funding cuts coming from federal and state levels, these services need every bit of funding they can get. Gov. Brownback's proposed budget completely cuts state funding to community mental health centers, making student funds to such programs even more crucial.
If Student Senators agree that these

programs provide vital resources for students and should be funded, then a plan for funding should be put in place before voting to approve a sweeping change in the current funding system. While an effort to put together a successful task force might be well-intentioned, there is still a chance the task force might fail. If the task force fails to establish a different funding plan for these programs, then the Student Senators have failed the students they have been elected to represent.

POLITICS
A democratic beginning does not guarantee a liberal ending
When Egyptian protestors pushed President Hosni Mubarak out of office last month, elated crowds celebrated in Cairo's Tahrir Square. But even as opponents of the old regime revealed in their success, observers posed a sobering question.
Answers varied. Even neoconservatives - the foremost defenders of regime change in the Middle East during the George W. Bush administration - failed to reach consensus. Some, like Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer, voiced fear that the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood would dominate a democratic Egypt's political scene. Others, including Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, argued that long-term American interests lay in siding with pro-democracy activists.
Can democracy actually take root in Egypt?
While Kristol and Krauthammer typically inhabit the same end of the ideological spectrum, their disagreement on this particular issue perfectly encapsulates the division between Americans who embrace the wave of demonstrations gripping the Arab world and those who cast a wary eye on the turmoil.
Krauthammer's fear of the ramifications of the Egyptian revolution seems further misplaced when one examines the dynamics surrounding the Muslim Brotherhood. The group announced recently it would not field a candidate in upcoming presidential elections. Most experts estimate it commands the support of no more than about 20 percent of the Egyptian population, and if the protestors of Tahrir taught us anything, it's that Egyptians won't countenance disproportionate power in the hands of a small faction.
Closer to home, Hugo Chavez's demagic rants resonate with many Latin Americans contemptuous of past U.S. support for right-wing dictatorships in the Cold War era.
Bob Sutcliffe
The pro-democracy stance is bolstered by even the most superficial of glances at the historical record. American support for Mubarak's dictatorship engendered considerable suspicion of the U.S. in Egypt. The U.S. continues to feel the repercussions of its misguided support for the overthrow of a democratically elected Iranian prime minister in 1953
BY LUKE BRINKER

The Muslim Brotherhood's minority status set aside, it's unavoidable that in an overwhelmingly conservative Muslim society, democracy will mean some measure of Islamic influence in Egyptian politics. Many regional observers note parallels between Egypt and Turkey, where a mildly Islamist government ascended to power amid strong civil society and a vibrant economy, Democracy and Islam, Turkey shows, can go hand in hand.
And yet.
Although American support for Egyptian democratization remains the best policy, policymakers should be cautious about putting Turkey on a pedestal as an exemplar of democratic reform. It is a democracy, recent events have shown, of a decidedly illiberal flavor.
The Eregenekon case highlights the democratically elected regime's decidedly undemocratic behavior. Fifty journalists have been imprisoned and another 4,000 face lawsuits, ostensibly for plotting to overthrow the regime. The government has little use for the idea that democracy requires the free expression of dissent.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan may have the support of a majorog of middle-class, pious Turks, but he is ruthless in his persecution of those - secularists, journalists and military officials - deemed insufficiently loyal to the ruling party.
As the Turkish case shows, the success of Middle Eastern democracy hinges on more than just the principle of majority rule. It also demands a genuine respect for minority rights.
Turkish journalist Asli Aydintasbas lamented in the Wall Street Journal that "democracy has been reduced to majoritarianism."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
weet of the week
The "think piece" went downhill
Ms. Blakeborough stated "Before the death toll in Japan is even calculated, our national media jumped straight into speculations about Hawaii and California." A deadly tsunami was barreling down on U.S. states. The death toll in Japan is still weeks away from being calculated and the tsunami arrived at our shores days ago. Which issue was more pertinent to Americans? The American media had already broken the story of the devastation in Japan. How would you feel if a giant wall of water was headed toward you and you couldn't find any mention of it in the news? To insinuate (in such a patronizing manner at that) that CNN should have been telling us about whether or not Minami-Sanriku had running water versus informing American citizens about a potentially life-threatening situation is absolutely absurd.
American media coverage of Japan showed understandable concerns
I was appalled by Jessie
I was appalled by Jessie Blakeborough's opinion piece "Japanese lives should matter more than U.S. interests." Naturally, considering that we live in the United States, one would question whether or not a tsunami that had devastated Japan would have similar implications on American coasts. To say that questions about possible damage brought up by American news outlets are "putting U.S. interests above Japanese lives" is a gross generalization at best.
David Johnson is a senior in communication studies from Salina.
I think the only mentality that needs to stop is the cultural masochism that an unfortunate number of people in this country embellish. I didn't think it was possible for someone to spin a story about an earthquake in another country (to which we have pledged massive amounts of aid) into an anti-American opinion piece, but I was wrong. Blakeborough states that she has "never been more disappointed to be an American." That's sad, because I have never been disappointed to be an American and this country's response to the tragic events in Japan is just another reason to be proud to be one.
from there. Blakeborough asks "When did we first begin desensitizing ourselves to foreign deaths?" Did we? Are we so desensitized that American citizens have already donated millions of dollars in aid? So desensitized that the military is operating around-the-clock relief efforts? To say "Americans weren't involved in the situation in Japan until there was a possibility that it would affect us" is ignorant and asinine. Why were we operating the same aid and relief campaigns after the Haitian earthquake then? It had nothing to do with us. I didn't exactly see Japan scrambling the choppers and cutting us a check after Katrina.
Eliminating death penalty won't solve flaws in the criminal justice system
A recent article entitled "Death penalty should be abolished while reasonable doubt continues" was premised on a few misleading assertions. Claiming that we have wrongly convicted and sentenced at least 138 people to death makes you think that innocent lives are being taken. This is not the case. In fact, no one has ever proven that any state has put to death one single innocent person. It is absolutely horrible to think that anyone was ever convicted for something they didn't do and sent to death row for it, but would eliminating the death penalty fix that? What if we didn't have the death penalty and instead those people faced life in prison?
The availability of the death penalty wouldn't affect whether or not they were found guilty. They would have been sentenced to life in prison and spent the exact same amount of time in prison before their DNA exoneration set them free. The flaw is not the death penalty, but the judicial process that allowed for a wrongful conviction.
The article went on to assert, "Clearly the practice of capital sentencing is arbitrary and certainly not reserved for cases without any shadow of a doubt." There is nothing arbitrary about the practice of capital sentencing. States have to very narrowly tailor their capital sentencing guidelines, for if they don't, they will be, and have been, struck down in violation of the Eighth Amendment.
Most arguments against the death penalty are premised heavily, if not entirely, on the risk of false convictions. However, the people advancing these arguments seem to only focus on the death penalty, without addressing that false convictions are a problem throughout our criminal justice system and this problem is not unique to, nor will be solved by the abolition of, the death penalty.

QA KU alumnus in Japan describes quake experience
P. S. W.
KU alumnus Jason Gibson with his wife, Chika, and their son, Kentaro, in Japan.
BY NICK CURRY editor@kansan.com
The recent earthquake in Japan cost many lives, affected even more and caused a lot of damage. Nick Curry talked to KU alumnus Jason Gibson, who is currently teaching English at a middle school in Omitama in the central Iberaki region. He takes part in Dickenson County's sister city exchange program.
NC: So where were you when the earthquake first began?
JG: I was actually at school. It was about 2:30, quarter until three in the afternoon, and it was the last class of the day. I was actually in the teachers' room because I didn't have class that period. All the teachers just at first thought it was a regular earthquake, because it happens, and it just kept getting bigger and bigger and everybody started freaking out, so we went outside.
NC: How far is that place from Sendai?
JG: Oh, 150 miles south.
NC! Do you have to deal with any of the aftershocks?
JG: Yeah. The ones that came immediately following the main earthquake were probably the largest, but everybody was already outside for those, so it wasn't really a big deal for us. We're so far inland that it didn't really matter, and the school is such a sturdy building that we didn't really see any damage.
NC: This earthquake is being listed as the fourth most powerful earthquake on record. How bad is the damage throughout Japan?
the damage in it.
JG: Pretty bad. Up in the north, near where the tsunamis have hit, I've heard reports of a village of 20,000 people missing. Can't get in there, don't know what's going on. As for the rest of Japan, I don't really know much about the area where it has hit, only what I've
seen on the news. But the parts I've been in, my house, and my wife's family's house, to me, it seems like the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks where everybody just went crazy and
ing blackouts cause lack of water. You're losing basic utilities and it's just kind of crazy. Most people around here are just trying to get their own personal lives back on track. My wife's parents are both teachers, and they both still have to go to school because it's the end of the school year here. They have finals and things to grade, so they're just trying to get all that done and work around all the power outages and everything. So, yeah, most people are just trying to work on their own stuff rather than aid the north, I suppose.
NC: How much is the damage to the power plants affecting daily life?
JG: I think that's one of the main reasons why they've had these rolling blackouts. The blackouts are about four hours at a time, twice a day. So a third of your day, you have no power. It's mostly for the Kanto area, which is the area... I think it includes Tokyo, but it's most of the area of the main island of Japan north of Tokyo. That's the Kanto Plains area. And they've instituted the blackouts for that whole area. I think losing those nuclear generators was one third of the power for the Kanto region. So, quite a lot.
NC: How far from normalcy is most of japan right now? Are most people going back to their regular routine yet?
"It just kept getting bigger and bigger and everybody started freaking out, so we went outside."
bought everything from the stores and bought all the gas. And there's ... you can't get anything. And you add on top of that the rolling blackouts on top of the government has instituted and the fact that the roll-

pened there. As for this area, most places have power and water back, minus the rolling blackouts of course. Most people in the areas I've been to, yeah, they're just trying to go on with their lives. People have been getting back to work and trying to find as much food where they can get it because the stores are still a little limited from all the buying that's been going on.
JG: Well, if you're talking about "most of Japan," most of Japan was widely unaffected. The part of Japan that was really only affected was from Tokyo,
which is about the middle of the main island of Honshu, to about. I suppose, to the north. So, about half of the main island and the north island of Hokaido were affected. The southern parts, really nothing has hap-
NC: You mentioned the local news as being a little bit bad about informing people. How really have they been reporting on this?
on this:
JG: Well, they have constant news reports, and I don't think it's necessarily the news companies here. I think it's really more of the government that's not releasing information in a timely manner, or maybe a correct manner. Even the news shows I've watched here, the anchors – or the equivalent of anchors; the shows here are a bit different – have been complaining
about the lack of information from the government. When they come on, they show nuclear engineers that come on the TV, and they just don't really say much. They tell you the status of what has happened, but they don't really tell you what they're planning to do. They don't really tell you what's going on right now; they just kind of tell you "OK, this is what's happened." And it doesn't really help much.
NC: How has the international community been helping out?
JG: I've heard on the news broadcasts that a lot of countries had already started to send aid. I can't really remember all the names. Of course, the U.S. did. China and South Korea did, which... they're pretty rival countries, pretty large rivals of Japan, so for them to send aid, and for Japan to accept it, is actually pretty big. I'd heard that New Zealand has sent a team, and, you know, they're still recovering from that huge
quake in Christchurch, so that's pretty good of them; I suppose. As far as I know, the international community is ready to help out, and Japan seems willing to accept it, which I think is something big because they weren't the last time they had a big earthquake.
I've had a lot of people that I know, personally, say, "Is there anything I can do to help? Do you need anything?" I don't. I don't need anything. Most of the people in Japan don't really need anything besides another four hours of power. But if you feel the need to help, I'm sure there is a relief fund, or a charity, or the Red Cross, that would love for you to help. So instead of asking people you know in Japan "Can I help you?", go find a charity and help the people who really need it.

Relay for Life hits close to home for local couple
BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE Inightengale@kansan.com
When Jenny Donham attended the Relay for Life fundraiser two years ago, she volunteered to support a good cause and spend time with her friends from work. When she walks around the track at Memorial Stadium on April 15, she will walk to fight a disease that has affected her life.
Donham, a health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center, saw the effect cancer has on a family when her husband, then fiancé, lost his mother to Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. As an only child to his adoptive mother, Jack Donham knew how much his mother wanted to see his wedding. When her health suddenly declined in August, 2009, the couple had to put the wedding plans on the back burner. Doctors told Jack's mom that she had six months to live, but she ended up dying two weeks later.
"Jack wanted to have a really big wedding with all of his family and friends," said Jenny, "And that's what we both wanted but one of the most important people in our lives, especially for Jack, wasn't going to be there anymore."
The couple stalled plans for the wedding for about six months. Once it decided to continue, it wanted to find a way to integrate Jack's mother into
the ceremony she couldn't attend.
Two days before the wedding, the couple drove to Salina to see Don Williams, a favorite country western artist of Jack's mother.
"It really made us feel like she was part of the week somehow and that's something that I think music does a really good job of doing," Jenny said. "We had a beautiful painting of her [at the wedding], and also of my grandma, so she could be there."
Grieving the death of Jack's mother in this important time in their relationship, the couple says, has strengthened its bond.
"I think it brought us closer together," said Jack. "I really don't think I could have made it through it without her, so she helped me out a lot, that's for sure. Just having somebody there was great."
This year, Jack will attend the Relay for Life event for the first time with Jenny and her son. They say that staying awake for the event, which lasts from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., and dedicating one night to cancer is one way to recognize those affected by the disease.
"It's a small gesture and a small way to honor these people's lives that are so brave and that go through so much," Jenny said.

Google Apps discriminate against blind students
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHICAGO - Northwestern University is targeted in a federal complaint filed Tuesday that alleges blind students and faculty face discrimination by the university's use of Google e-mail and other programs.
The complaint, filed by the National Federation of the Blind with the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, asks that Northwestern stop using Google Apps because they do not effectively turn text on a computer screen into synthesized speech or Braille.
The group alleges that the university is in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. The complaint also names New York University, and asks that all universities using the Google Apps for Education programs stop doing so.
Chris Danielsen, a spokesman for the National Federation of the Blind, said the group knew of one Northwestern student affected by the use of Google.
"Each of these applications contains significant accessibility barriers," according to the complaint, and therefore blind students "are denied the benefits of the technology that Northwestern has adopted."
"The university either needs to suspend using Google Apps until it is accessible, or if it doesn't become accessible, do not use it," Danielsen said.
Northwestern adopted Google Apps for Education in 2007, and students use Google programs for their e-mail, calendar, documents and instant messaging.
Danielsen said, however, that Google Apps are often incompatible with software that turns written words into speech, and blind users are then unable to know what to type in a given field or whether a control is a button or a drop-down menu. In Google's document program, for example, the text is not always audible, so users cannot review what they wrote.
Northwestern University spokesman Alan Cubbage said the campus received the complaint Monday.
Taking care of business
"It will be reviewed by our (information technology) and our attorney's offices sometime soon," Cubbage said. He said the university had not heard from the Justice Department on the matter.
Google said in a statement that company officials met last week with the president of the National Federation of the Blind.
"We left the meeting with a strong commitment to improving our products," Alan Eustace, Google's senior vice president of engineering and research, said in a statement.

UNC-Asheville wins in NCAA opener

DAYTON, Ohio Matt Dickey and North Carolina- Asheville injected a little customary March drama into the NCAA's new-look tournament

MORNING BREW
I'm not going to lie. A couple of weeks ago, I possibly committed what could've been the greatest sin ever committed within the confines of the Phog. Before a women's basketball game, I was perusing Facebook like any typical college student when I saw that my friend had tagged me in a post with a link to the video of Ali Farokmanesh's deadly three-point shot in last year's NCAA tournament.
I watched it. In Allen Fieldhouse.
I couldn't help but think about how mad I was at my sin. I kept asking myself what it would take to repent. But then some good came out of it because it got me thinking.
BY ETHAN PADWAY
epadway.kansan.com
twitter.com/epadway
I keep thinking about how everyone is always saying how one team has an easy bracket and another, more-deserving team doesn't. Last year, I was one of those people. Last year, I openly contemplated how the NCAA tournament committee gave Kansas the toughest route and Duke a cakewalk. I read articles where countless sports pundits wrote the same thing.
This year, I heard people saying throughout the Big 12 tournament how they wanted the Jayhawks to play Kansas State but not Colorado because Colorado was hot. Or how
THE MORNING BREW
they were terrified of Butler being the No. 2 seed in our bracket (before the Brandon Davies suspension). My mind kept rewinding to last year's tournament.
Going in, Kansas was the No. 1 overall seed. Every pundit picked the Jayhawks. And you can't convince me to this day that Northern Iowa was the better team that fateful Saturday in March down in Oklahoma City. But the fact of the matter is, Kansas came out flat and lost. Plain and simple, it didn't matter that it had the toughest road to go or that Michigan State was waiting in the next round. The Jayhawks didn't get that far.
care who is in what bracket, the fact of the matter is at the end of the day, if the Jayhawks make it deep enough, every game will be a hard game. Teams can get lucky in their first game, but eventually they will have to play the best team.
This year, I've taken a new approach. I don't
So, since the field has already been set, there is no use crying over spilled milk saying this team has it easy (Pittsburgh) and that team has it hard (Ohio State). The best team on paper may not always win, but the best team on the court certainly will come that day in April.

ROWING
Kansas takes last three events of weekend
BY LAUREN DRUMMOND
Idrummond@kansan.com
The Kansas rowing team raced in the Oklahoma Invitation over the weekend. The team started out strong winning its first two races against the Sooners and went on to win their final three events against
Creighton, totaling seven victories over the weekend.
Rowing has now won at least one racing session in the last four competitions it has raced in. The Jayhawks didn't have much time to prepare for this weekend, however.
"We haven't been on the water too many times," coach Rob Cattolh
said in a press release. "So, just having more races helped."
Saturday evening was better for the Jayhawks' novice team. It won both races, despite the outcomes being very close. Kansas topped Oklahoma by a mere 1.6 seconds in the first of two races,and beat the Sooners overall by only eight-
tenth of a second, posting a final
score of 7:47.05.
Catloth was pleased with his rowers' efforts.
"They had a really good opening weekend for only being on the water six or seven times," he said. "They got better as the race went on, and that's what we're looking for."
for people to do."
In the morning race session on Sunday, the Jayhawks defeated the Tula队 by eleven seconds in the first race, finishing with a time of 8:03:61 and by four seconds in the second race, with
a final time of 7:48.06.
Now the Jayhawks can take a rest before they host Texas at Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kan., on April 2. Catloth said he wanted the team to use this time off to improve, hopefully getting some much needed practice on the water.
"The primary thing is getting water time. We really just need water time," Catloth said. "We basically haven't done any race preparation."

The Jayhawks will make the best out of this tournament

BY KATHLEEN GIER kqier@kansan.com
Senior guard Marisha Brown is welcomed out by her teammates during player introductions before the start of last Wednesday's game against Baylor for the second round of the Big 12 Championship. The Jayhawks lost to Baylor 51-86.
Junior forward Aishah Sutherland was just lying down and saw a comment on her Twitter page asking if she was ready to play Wichita State. She was surprised and a little confused, but soon after she received the official team text message letting the athletes know the schedule for the first round.
opportunity.
Despite that excitement there is still some hostility because the team had goals of making it to the NCAA Tournament for the first time under Henrickson.
"We are excited to play in the WNIT and it is important for us to get dialed in," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "And in that short break we had after the Big 12 Tournament, we were able to use that wisely and we have a bounce in our step with the fresh opportunity."
Kansas will host Wichita State in the first round of the WNIT at 7 p.m. tonight This is the fourthstraight season that the Jayhawks have been selected in the WNIT draw.
"It's another postseason, which we are excited for, it's obviously not the one we hoped for," senior forward Krysten Boogaard said. "We are coming in here with a positive attitude."
Sutherland has high hopes for the Jayhawks who advanced to the WNIT finals in 2009.
ing some impressive wins.
"We can't hang our head about not making it to the NCAA Tournament," Sutherland said. "We just have to look at it like we have a chance to win a championship and hang a banner."
Henrickson talked about the difficulty of keeping the team confident after a difficult season where the layhawks started well in non-conference, and had trouble in conference despite record-

"Unfortunately we had a roller-coaster season," Henrickson said. "The kids are resilient and you have to have a short term memory and we talk more about our success and how to be successful than beating anybody up when they aren't."

Kansas loses close one to No.9 Arkansas
BASEBALL
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Although the result was not as hoped, the Jayhawks showed signs of improvement, hanging with No. 9 Arkansas in a 4-2 loss in Fayetteville, Ark.
"I feel like we made progress today," coach Ritch Price said. "Obviously, I'm disappointed with the loss, but we played well."
The Jayhawks continued to
improve at the plate in their close loss to the Razorbacks. Although the team only had five hits, 12 of their outs were飞 outs, and they were able to make solid contact at the plate throughout the game.
Jayhawks left eight men on base.
"It's a process. We're collecting more hits and were having better at bats. Now the next step is, when we get guys on, we've got to finish the inning." Price said. "We had an opportunity today and we couldn't get the clutch hits."
The Jayhawks missed a huge opportunity at the plate in the top of the seventh innning. Down 4-2 with two outs, struggling seniors Casey Lytle and Jimmy Waters had two clutch singles with two outs to give

"The hitters have been hiten in the ball real well," freshman pitcher Alex Cox said. "They've just been hiten it at guys, and they know that (the hits) are going to drop eventually."

While it appears as if the Jayhawks are headed toward correcting their issues hitting the ball, they still have problems scoring runners once they get on base. Against the Razorbacks, the

Sophomore Jake Marasco, who has been on fire for Kansas this season with an average of.397, stepped
ap to the plate looking to knock in Lytle and Waters. Both runners were able to move over to second and third base off a wild pitch.
Marasco, like the whole Kansas lineup throughout this season, was unable to come up with the clutch hit. He struck out, swinging, and the Jayhawks were never able to recover. They did not have one hit in the final two innings of the game.
Another good sign for Kansas
Pitching coach Ryan Graves "said that I did a good job," Cox said. "I did a good job mixing my change-up and if I keep that up,
was the performance off the freshman starter Cox. Cox pitched three innings against the Razorbacks and gave up two hits for two runs.
"We're going to have to work hard and play with some energy until we start getting some clutch hits." Price said. "I'm still going to stay positive with our guys, and I believe it's going to happen."
then I'll be successful."
With the tough loss, the Jayhawks' record now falls to 7-9. And even though the record is below the team's norm when heading into conference play, coach Price still has confidence in his guys.

COMMENTARY
Refreshing memories for a good NCAA start
1
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Maybe this is the difference between me — a 23-year-old kid who thought four years was way too short of a time to spend in college — and Self, who at 48 already sits alongside the active gifts of his profession. Of the two of us, I'd say he's got the more proven track record. But if I put on Self's shoes, I'd certainly take them for a stroll among the memories this week.
I find that hard to believe.
Kansas coach Bill Self says he won't be spending any time going down memory lane this week in Tulsa.
In 1993, Self was hired at Oral Roberts in Tulsa after coaching under Larry Brown at Kansas and Eddie Sutton at Oklahoma State. It went poorly early on. He inherited a team that hadn't had a winning season in nine years, and that streak reached 11 before he broke it. In his third year, the Golden Eagles went 18-9. His fourth, they went 21-7.
"Believe it or not, I actually anticipated myself being compared to Roy Williams," he said at a 2003 press conference. "Comparisons don't bother me because they come with the territory."
You see, Self's coaching career got off to its auspicious start in Tulsa, where the Jayhawks play their first and second NCAA tour nament games.
Illinois fans harbor the same feelings for Self that Kansas fans do for Williams. They love him for what he did there, but they are still stung by his leaving. He hasn't coached against the Illini since leaving, and they want him bad.
And, of course, if the Jayhawks don't get Illinois in round two, they draw the Runnin' Rebels of UNLV. Self would coach against the man he replaced at Illinois, Lon Kruger, and against a player whom he coached for a year at Kansas, Quintrell Thomas.
His fifth, he was hired by crosstown rival Tulsa University, then of the Western Athletic Conference. All he did there? In his third year, he finished 32-5, and took the Golden Hurricanes to the Elite Eight.
When Self left Illinois three years and three NCAA tournament appearances after taking the job, new Illini coach Bruce Weber faced a little scrutiny, to say the least. He was constantly compared to Self, and not favorably, because of the obvious dichotomy in personality. Weber is reserved; Self charismatic.
Seven years, 129 wins and two NCAA Tournament runs later, Self left Oklahoma for Illinois, who the Jayhawks may face in the second round.
So Weber held a mock funeral for Self, figuratively burying the comparisons once and for all. Self met the story with dripping sarcasm.
Memory lane may be avoidable. But the first weekend of the NCAA tournament is the memory Autobahn, and Self's got himself the best car in the race.

It passed, meaning all Student Senate funding for four community health service groups — the Douglas County AIDS project, Headquarters Crisis Center, the Willow Domestic Violence Center and GaDuGi Sexual Assault SafeCenter — will end in two years, fiscal year 2013.
Senate did pass a resolution to create a task force to find new funding streams for these groups. This task force will begin work before the Senate elections and will be headed by current vice president Megan Ritter. It will also contain all four current leadership candidates and 16 other designated student leaders.
Senator Devin Cantwell proposed and got passed an amendment to strike language from the task force

That the four groups are not student activities but off-campus groups has been the main argument for the block allocation cuts by its supporters, including Student Body President Michael Wade Smith and others.
An amendment to re-instate the $4,000 Willow receives was passed with the stipulation that it go toward a crisis hotline. This means Willow, as the other groups, will be funded next year but the year after that.
The meeting took place in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union and was full, with the 78 available non-senator seats taken by supporters of the four groups and members of the media in aisles. Several senators spoke of how impressed they were of the outpouring of support and involvement in the issue.

CELEBRATION
Holiday traditions are kept alive in U.S. and in Ireland
BY CAROLINE ATKINSON
editor@kansan.com
Remember to wear green today to avoid getting pinched in honor of St. Patrick's Day. According to britannica.com, the holiday originated in Ireland in AD 461 to commemorate the death of the patron saint of Ireland, who dedicated his life to converting his country to Christianity, and over time became an international phenomenon.
Before 1970, St. Patrick's Day was viewed as a religious holiday, and bars in Ireland were forced by law to be closed on March 17. Most of the traditions on this day were started in the United States and later picked up by Ireland to boost tourism. The following traditions are still enacted today:
THE COLOR GREEN
The United States is known for having mugs overflowing with green beverages. The color green and the tradition of pinching those not wearing it is mainly a U.S. custom that was started by school children to ward off leprechauns. The idea is that being pinched will give nonconformists a greenish bruise to wear for the rest of the holiday. However, people in Ireland don't follow this particular tradition.
The shamrock was used by Patrick to spread the word of God to the Irish. Three was a sacred number in Ireland, as was the tri-leafed shamrock. Patrick explained how the three leaves of the shamrock were like the Trinity — the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit — that was bound together by a common root.
The first St. Patrick's Day parade was held in New York City in 1776. In Ireland, the first parade in honor of the saint was not until 1995. The holiday is now spread out over several days in Ireland with concerts, fireworks, crafts, parades and more.
THE SHAMROCK
What do you think?
A leprechaun is said to be an Irish fairy that looks like two-foot-tall old man dressed like a shoemaker. They are unfriendly, tricky and possess a pot of gold. If a leprechaun is caught by someone, it is forced to reveal the whereabouts of its treasure. However, the captor must keep an eye on the leprechaun at all times or the creature will disappear and all hopes of finding the gold will be lost.

Sandy Rushing, a junior from Independence, Mo., studied in Japan in 2006. Now he's returning to help with the earthquake and tsunami relief efforts.
But his experiences - his deep love for Japanese culture and society - have never left him.
Rushing, a junior from Independence, Mo., lived in Japan for about a year for a study abroad program in 2006. Since then, he's come to Lawrence, joined the Kansas National Guard and worked toward his degree in psychology.
He heard last week about the devastating earthquake and tsunami that has killed at least at 4,000 people and left nearly half a million people homeless with some 8,000 people still missing. He got in touch with his friends in Japan, made sure they were OK, and instantly knew he had to do more than just donate money to relief efforts - he had to go back.
Rushing is planning to leave for Okinawa as soon as Monday or Tuesday, travel through Tokyo up to the hardest-hit northern region and spend the week of Spring Break living and volunteering in a shelter house.
Immediately after he heard the news, Sandy Rushing knew he had to help.
"If I can help just one person, the trip will be worth it," he said.

"People who volunteer for disaster relief know they could die," he said. "But they do it anyway, because someone should."
He says he just wants to help, not just because of the lives lost but because of the tremendous amount of lives affected - it's the whole Japanese way of life that's at risk as well as the tragedy of the loss of life.
"It's so much destruction," he said. "We don't even know how much has been lost."
Rushing does not have any agency or nonprofit support but is trying to get in touch with Red Cross officials in the area and gathering donations for travel. He's also looking for camera equipment and a travel bike to help get around.

Unemployment increases in Kansas, decreases in U.S.
Labor report shows Kansas lost 35,500 jobs from Dec. 2010 to Jan. 2011
BY LAURA SATHER lsather@kansan.com
The Kansas Department of Labor published its January 2011 labor report this week. The report showed a decrease in jobs in the state over the last year and a slight decrease in the unemployment rate. However, over the past month, the report showed an increase in the unemployment rate in Kansas. Meanwhile the national unemployment rate is going down and the number of jobs is going up, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Bureau of Labor Statistics Between December 2010 and January 2011, Kansas' unadjusted unemployment rate went from 6.4 percent to 7.4 percent, losing 35,500 jobs in the private sector in that time. Matt Manda, director of media and communications at the labor department, said these figures are due to the loss of seasonal jobs.
"But that's not the full picture because they're picked right back up around the summer time," Manda said. "Job losses in the private sector is somewhat common after the winter holidays."
winter holidays. According to the labor report, six out of 11 major industries in Kansas reported job losses over the year. Those major industries include information services jobs, construction and financial services. The other five industries, including education and government, reported an increase in jobs over the year.
The report also said that the number of unemployment claims in Kansas went up from December 2010 to January 2011 from 27,889 to 32,089. Manda said the best way for those on unemployment to find a job is to keep searching for work while continuing to file for unemployment assistance.

OBITUARY
Professor emeritus Jim Seaver dies at 92
Jim Seaver, professor emeritus at the University of Kansas and host of one of the longestrunning radio shows in history, died on Monday, March 14 at the age of 92.
Seaver taught western civilization and ancient history at the University for decades until retiring in the late 1980s. He continued to teach after his retirement.
"On behalf of the entire KU
community, I thank Jim Seaver for his dedication to illuminating culture for generations of people who listened on the radio and who worked with him in classrooms studying western civilization and ancient history," said chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little in a press release.
In addition to his career as an educator, Seaver was an opera expert and the founder of the Kansas Public Radio show, "Opera is My Hobby."The show began just days after KPR, then KANU-FM, hit the airwaves. The
show is still on the air 58 years after its creation, and up until last week, Seaver continued to produce the show.
"Seaver was the epitome of a gentleman, with a passion for life like I have never seen," said Janet Campbell, director of KPR. "When talking with him, even if you weren't an opera fan, you walked away a devotee as he just exuded with joy when talking opera."
Funeral arrangements are still pending.

Woman gives drunken advice on DUIs to police
DENVER — Police in a Denver suburb said a woman was arrested for drunken driving after she complained to officers about how they parked their patrol cars as they were investigating a DUI-related crash
Trevor Materasso of Westminster police told KMGH-TV that 49-year-old Katherine Morse was taken into custody after she walked up to police trying to move a car in the crash Sunday.
Materasso says police had parked their cars to prevent a suspected drunk driver in the crash from leaving the scene.
He says officers told Morse to return to her car and she became "belligerent with them, telling them it was a stupid place" for a traffic stop.
Materasso says that's when officers realized "she too was drunk."
Morse also faces obstructing police charges.

Alternative Breakdown An in-depth look at several of the 13 Alternative Spring Break projects
A group of 98 KU students won't be taking much of a break next week. Instead, they will be participating in the Alternative Breaks program. Alternative Breaks is a nationwide program that provides students with an opportunity to participate in community building activities across the country. Programs are offered each year during the winter, summer and spring breaks. This year, student volunteers will be split into 13 groups. These groups will then travel to various parts of the country to volunteer with a variety of community service groups for about five days. The graphic below gives a sampling of what some of these students will be doing during their week off from classes.

Seven students will be heading to Austin, Texas for five days to volunteer labor for Johnson's Backyard Garden (JBG). JBG participates in community supported agriculture that helps to provide fresh produce for the surrounding community. JBG operates on a lending system in which community members pay a subscription fee up front and then receive weekly or bi-weekly shipments of the produce that is being harvested during that season.

"When he passed away he left me as clan leader," Byenkya said. "But I was 13 at the time, so I couldn't technically assume the role. I can't assume the role until I get out of school and start working."
Byenkya has lived and attended schools in six different countries. His diverse education enabled Byenkya to adjust to the various educational systems around the world. Byenkya has also been exposed to a variety of cultures.
"Moving around teaches you about the similarities between different cultures," Byenkya said. "So it's a lot easier for me to live somewhere new and fit in than for someone who has stayed in the same place their entire life and is used to a certain way of life."
At his high school in Kampala, Uganda, Byenkya wrote and edited for the school newspaper, coached the basketball team and

"As leader of the clan you have to settle any disputes that occur within the clan." Byenkya said.
Issues that Byenkya will have to take care of include family disputes, land disputes and any other
conflicts that may arise within the clan. As clan leader he will also have to organize, set up and attend clan meetings. His main role will be to make sure that everyone in the family is all right.

SELF-DEFENSE COURSE
Student body vice president
Megan Ritter, a junior from
Overland Park, confirmed the
establishment of a one-hour self-
defense course at the Ambler
Student Recreation Center.
Ritter said two free self-defense classes will be available for all students.
BIG 12 ON THE HILL
Senate development director Alex Earles, a senior from Salina, said the meetings went well and while the representatives were not necessarily agreeing, they were receptive.
Earles said a day was spent in meetings with committee members regarding the future of Pale grants. The only type of grants that appear to be cut, Earles said, is summer grants.
Five student Senators went to Capitol Hill last week to meet with representatives and committee members to discuss funding for higher education.
"That's good news," Earles said. "I guess."
'GAYPRIL'
With much support and applause from the non-senate members in attendance, Senate passed the bill to fund Queers and Allies Pride Month. Formerly, the event was known as Pride Week and for 20 years lasted for the duration of a week.
For the 21st Anniversary of Pride Celebration, the entire month of April-dubbed 'Gaypril' will be dedicated to educational events and programs around the University.
The bill's sponsor, student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, said he is disappointed the bill is going back to Stud Ex when he was unaware of any clarity issues.
Ritter said Stud Ex hopes the clarity will allow the code of ethics to appear as an appendix in the back of the rules and regulations like a contract for new senators to sign.
SENATOR CODE OF ETHICS
Senate approved legislation allocating $5,550 to fund Andrea Gibson, a queer poet and activist; and Mia Mingus, a queer physically disabled woman.

A bill to amend Student Senate Rules and Regulations to include a Senator Code of Ethics was referred back to the Student Executive staff to clarify the language.
WASHINGTON - The United States on Wednesday authorized the first evacuations of Americans out of Japan, taking a tougher stand on the deepening nuclear crisis and warning U.S. citizens to defer all non-essential travel to any part of the country as unpredictable weather and wind conditions risked spreading radioactive contamination.
US advises Americans to evacuate Japan
President Barack Obama placed a telephone call to Prime Minister Naoto Kan to discuss Japan's efforts to recover from last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami, and the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Dai-chi plant. Obama promised Kan that the U.S. would offer constant support for its close friend and ally.

"This is what we would do if the incident were happening in the Unites States."
Senior State Department official Patrick Kennedy said chartered planes will be brought in to help private American citizens wishing to leave. People face less risk in southern Japan, but changing weather and wind conditions could raise radiation levels elsewhere in the coming days, he said.
and Nagoya and affects some 600 people.
The decision to begin evacuations mirrors moves by countries such as Australia and Germany, who also advised their citizens to consider leaving Tokyo and other earthquake-affected areas. Tokyo, which is about 170 miles from the stricken nuclear complex, has reported slightly elevated radiation levels, though Japanese officials have said the increase was too small to threaten the 39 million people in and around the capital.
JAY CARNEY White House spokesman
White House spokesman Jay Carney sought to minimize any rift between the two allies, saving U.S. officials were making their recommendations based on their independent analysis of the data coming out of the region following Friday's massive earthquake and tsunami.
Earlier Wednesday, the Obama administration urged the evacuation of Americans from a 50-mile radius of the stricken nuclear plant, raising questions about U.S. confidence in Tokyo's risk assessments. Japan's government was urging people within 20 miles to stay indoors if they could not evacuate.
"I will not from here judge the Japanese evaluation of the data," Carney told reporters. "This is what we would do if this incident were happening in the United States."
Conditions at the nuclear plant continued to deteriorate, with surging radiation forcing Japan
to order workers to temporarily withdraw. Obama met at the White House with Gregory Jaczko, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, who recommended the wider evacuation zone.
During testimony on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Jaczko said anyorfe who gets close to the plant could face potentially lethal doses of radiation.
"We believe radiation levels are extremely high," he said.
The Pentagon said U.S. troops working on relief missions can within 50 miles to the plant with approval. Spokesman Col. David Lapan said the U.S. would review requests from the Japanese for assistance that would require troops to move within that radius, though no approval for such movement had been given since the stricter guidelines were enacted.
The Pentagon said troops are receiving anti-radiation pills before missions to areas where radiation exposure is likely.

Unemployment increases in Kansas, decreases in U.S.
Labor report shows Kansas lost 35,500 jobs from Dec.2010 to Jan.2011
BY LAURA SATHER lsather@kansan.com
The Kansas Department of Labor published its January 2011 labor report this week. The report showed a decrease in jobs in the state over the last year and a slight decrease in the unemployment rate. However, over the past month, the report showed an increase in the unemployment rate in Kansas. Meanwhile the national unemployment rate is going down and the number of jobs is going up, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Between December 2010 and January 2011, Kansas' unadjusted unemployment rate went from 6.4 percent to 7.4 percent, losing 35,500 jobs in the private sector in that time. Matt Manda, director of media and communications at the labor department, said these figures are due to the loss of seasonal jobs.
"But that's not the full picture because they're picked right back up around the summer time." Manda said. "Job losses in the private sector is somewhat common after the winter holidays."
winter holidays. According to the labor report, six out of 11 major industries in Kansas reported job losses over the year. Those major industries include information services jobs, construction and financial services. The other five industries, including education and government, reported an increase in jobs over the year.
The report also said that the number of unemployment claims in Kansas weni up from December 2010 to January 2011 from 27,889 to 32,089. Manda said the best way for those on unemployment to find a job is to keep searching for work while continuing to file for unemployment assistance.

tion process, given your application and your situation," Manda said. "You're ruled and judged on each claim you file to get on unemployment based on background and in certain situations. It's really just a matter of staying involved and watching and seeing how things turn around."
turn around.
February 2011's labor report will come out on March 25, but Manda said even though he thinks the rate will remain the same for the next month, there's no real way to tell what the unemployment rate will do in an economy like this.

Professor emeritus Jim Seaver dies at 92
Jim Seaver, professor emeritus at the University of Kansas and host of one of the longestrunning radio shows in history, died on Monday, March 14 at the age of 92.
a age of 92.
Seaver taught western civilization and ancient history at the University for decades until retiring in the late 1980s.
He continued to teach after his retirement.
On behalf of the entire KU
community, I thank Jim Seaver for his dedication to illuminating culture for generations of people who listened on the radio and who worked with him in classrooms studying western civilization and ancient history," said chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little in a press release.
In addition to his career as an educator, Seaver was an opera expert and the founder of the Kansas Public Radio show, "Opera is My Hobby." The show began just days after KPR, then KANU-FM, hit the airwaves. The
show is still on the air 58 years after its creation, and up until last week. Seaver continued to produce the show.
"Seaver was the epitome of a gentleman, with a passion for life like I have never seen" said Janet Campbell, director of KPR. "When talking with him, even if you weren't an opera fan, you walked away a devotee as he just exuded with joy when talking opera."
Funeral arrangements are still pending.

Woman gives drunken advice on DUIs to police
DENVER — Police in a Denver suburb said a woman was arrested for drunken driving after she complained to officers about how they parked their patrol cars as they were investigating a DUI-related crash
Trevor Materasso of Westminster police told KMGH-TV that 49-year-old Katherine Morse was taken into custody after she walked up to police trying to move a car in the crash Sunday.
Materasso says police had parked their cars to prevent a suspected drunk driver in the crash from leaving the scene.
He says officers told Morse to return to her car and she became "belligerent with them, telling them it was a stupid place" for a traffic stop.
Materasso says that's when officers realized "she too was drunk."
Morse also faces obstructing police charges.

Spring Break 2011
Alternative Breakdown An in-depth look at several of the 13 Alternative Spring Break projects
A group of 98 KU students won't be taking much of a break next week. Instead, they will be participating in the Alternative Breaks program. Alternative Breaks is a nationwide program that provides students with an opportunity to participate in community building activities across the country. Programs are offered each year during the winter, summer and spring breaks. This year, student volunteers will be split into 13 groups. These groups will then travel to various parts of the country to volunteer with a variety of community service groups for about five days. The graphic below gives a sampling of what some of these students will be doing during their week off from classes.

JOHNSON'S
Johnson's Backyard Garden
Seven students will be heading to Austin, Texas for five days to volunteer labor for Johnson's Backyard Garden (JBG). JBG participates in community supported agriculture that helps to provide fresh produce for the surrounding community. JBG operates on a lending system in which community members pay a subscription fee up front and then receive weekly or bi-weekly shipments of the produce that is being harvested during that season.

enkya became leader of the Bagombe clan in Western Uganda at the age of 13 after his father passed away and he will return to the clan after graduation.
"When he passed away he left me as clan leader," Byenkya said. "But I was 13 at the time, so I couldn't technically assume the role. I can't assume the role until I get out of school and start working."
Byenkya has lived and attended schools in six different countries His diverse education enabled Byenkya to adjust to the various educational systems around the world. Byenkya has also been exposed to a variety of cultures.
"Moving around teaches you about the similarities between different cultures," Byenkya said. "So it's a lot easier for me to live somewhere new and fit in than for someone who has stayed in the same place their entire life and is used to a certain way of life."
At his high school in Kampala, Uganda, Byenkya wrote and edited for the school newspaper, coached the basketball team and

participated in student council.
Byenkya is the secretary for the International Student Association, a member of the African Student
Association, and he is on the cultural arts committee for Student Union Activities. Hir involvement in these campus groups further aids Byenkya in building his leadership skills, which will carry over to his future role as the Bagombe clan leader.
"I'm a conservationist." Byenkya said.
"As leader of the clan you have to settle any disputes that occur within the clan." Byenkya said.
Issues that Byenkya will have to take care of include family disputes, land disputes and any other
conflicts that may arise within the clan. As clan leader he will also have to organize, set up and attend clan meetings. His main role will be to make sure that everyone in the family is all right.

"My uncles and aunts are taking care of it for me right now," Byenkya said, "But once I get out of school I will have to take over."
Student Senate Notebook
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
Full Student Senate meets every other Wednesday and met last night for the first time since Feb. 23. Senate meets in the Kansas room of the Kansas Union and all legislation heard must first past through committees, which were held last Wednesday.
Ritter said two free self-defense classes will be available for all students.
SELF-DEFENSE COURSE
Student body vice president Megan Ritter, a junior from Overland Park, confirmed the establishment of a one-hour self-defense course at the Ambler Student Recreation Center.
BIG 12 ON THE HILL
Senate development director Alex Earles, a senior from Salina, said the meetings went well and while the representatives were not necessarily agreeing, they were receptive.
Earles said a day was spent in meetings with committee members regarding the future of Pale grants. The only type of grants that appear to be cut, Earles said, is summer grants.
Five student Senators went to Capitol Hill last week to meet with representatives and committee members to discuss funding for higher education.
"That's good news," Earles said. "I guess."
'GAYPRIL'
With much support and applause from the non-senate members in attendance, Senate passed the bill to fund Queers and Allies Pride Month. Formerly, the event was known as Pride Week and for 20 years lasted for the duration of a week.

For the 21st Anniversary of Pride Celebration, the entire month of April-dubbed 'Gaypril' will be dedicated to educational events and programs around the University.
Senate approved legislation allocating $5,550 to fund Andrea Gibson,a queer poet and activist; and Mia Mingus,a queer physically disabled woman.
SENATOR CODE OF ETHICS
A bill to amend Student Senate Rules and Regulations to include a Senator Code of Ethics was referred back to the Student Executive staff to clarify the language.
Ritter said Stud Ex hopes the clarity will allow the code of ethics to appear as an appendix in the back of the rules and regulations like a contract for new senators to sign.
The bill's sponsor, student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, said he is disappointed the bill is going back to Stud Ex when he was unaware of any clarity issues.

INTERNATIONAL
President Barack Obama placed a telephone call to Prime Minister Naoto Kan to discuss Japan's efforts to recover from last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami, and the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Dai-chi plant. Obama promised Kan that the U.S. would offer constant support for its close friend and ally.
WASHINGTON The United States on Wednesday authorized the first evacuations of Americans out of Japan, taking a tougher stand on the deepening nuclear crisis and warning U.S. citizens to defer all non-essential travel to any part of the country as unpredictable weather and wind conditions risked spreading radioactive contamination.

But a hastily organized teleconference with officials from the State and Energy Departments assisted the administra-
US advises Americans to evacuate Japan
Senior State Department official Patrick Kennedy said chartered planes will be brought in to help private American citizens wishing to leave. People face less risk in southern Japan, but changing weather and wind conditions could raise radiation levels elsewhere in the coming days, he said.
The decision to begin evacuations mirrors moves by countries such as Australia and Germany, who also advised their citizens to consider leaving Tokyo and other earthquake-affected areas. Tokyo, which is about 170 miles from the stricken nuclear complex, has reported slightly elevated radiation levels, though Japanese officials have said the increase was too small to threaten the 39 million people in and around the capital.
JAY CARNEY White House spokesman
and Nagoya and affects some 600 people.
"This is what we would do if the incident were happening in the Unites States."
Earlier Wednesday, the Obama administration urged the evacuation of Americans from a 50-mile radius of the stricken nuclear plant, raising questions about U.S. confidence in Tokyo's risk assessments. Japan's government was urging people within 20 miles to stay indoors if they could not evacuate.
White House spokesman Jay Carney sought to minimize any rift between the two allies, saying U.S. officials were making their recommendations based on their independent analysis of the data coming out of the region following Friday's massive earthquake and tsunami.
"I will not from here judge the Japanese evaluation of the data," Carney told reporters. "This is what we would do if this incident were happening in the United States."
Conditions at the nuclear plant continued to deteriorate, with surging radiation forcing Japan
to order workers to temporarily withdraw. Obama met at the White House with Gregory Jaczko, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, who recommended the wider evacuation zone.
During testimony on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Jaczko said anyorfe who gets close to the plant could face potentially lethal doses of radiation.
"We believe radiation levels are extremely high" he said.
The Pentagon said U.S. troops working on relief missions can within 50 miles to the plant with approval. Spokesman Col. David Lapan said the U.S. would review requests from the Japanese for assistance that would require troops to move within that radius, though no approval for such movement had been given since the stricter guidelines were enacted.
The Pentagon said troops are receiving anti-radiation pills before missions to areas where radiation exposure is likely.

Matthew McConaughey displays range of talent
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Every time I write off Matthew McConaughey as a set of abs best suited to play a shirtless cad (see: "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"), he reminds me of how resourceful an actor he is. When the drawing Texan leaves that pigeonhole, he soars.
As the bottom-feeder attorney in "The Lincoln Lawyer," a twisty, cleverly plotted thriller based on the crime novel by Michael Connellly, McConaughey acts with his head and body. His legal eagle is a predator, all right, but one who retracts the talons in favor of mind games.
Brad Furman's movie is shame-
lessly entertaining and the best
thing in it is McConaughey's
Mickey Haller, known as "the Lincoln lawyer" because his office is his Town Car. Why pay for overhead when you have an ex-wife (Marisa Tomei as a world-weary assistant district attorney) and kid to help support?
Mick's a streetwise operator who knows how to make money off the front end and back end of every deal. He knows how to work the system without gaming it and how to make a bribe look like a legitimate Christmas gift. For him, the end product of the justice system is not a fair verdict, but getting a judgment and pocketing the payment for services.
real-estate prince and playboy charged with assault and battery of a female escort. Almost unprecedented in Mickey's experience, Roulet (rhymes with roue) may even be innocent.
He strikes gold when his chum the bail bondsman (John Leguizamo) hooks him up with a franchise client, Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillipe), a Beverly Hills
The part of the smoothie at the pick-up game suits McConaughey down to the ground. Typically, Mickey is several steps ahead of the DA. In defending Roulet, though, what initially looks to be a slam-dunk is a desperation heave.
In this nicely cast film featuring Bryan Cranston as a comically exasperated police detective, William H. Macy is a standout as a private investigator, a shaggy motormouth with access to all sorts of privileged information.
Furman's movie has the throwback vibe of Paul Newman crime procedurals like "The Drowning

Distinguished speaker highlights need for global engagement

SEXUALITY
In-class sex demos help foster much needed conversations
Northwestern University president Morton Schapiro's reaction to a professor's live masturbation demonstration last month — which involved a 25-year-old female and an atypical sex toy, (the viewing was voluntary for students) — was, quite frankly, disturbing. Schapiro claimed the professor's actions were in "poor judgment," and an investigation was issued.
Sex is a big part of life for a lot of people, for some a very big part. We all see, hear, feel and smell certain things uniquely, and those sensory signals send messages to the brain and hormones, which respond, react and often become aroused.
These complex and idiosyncratic feelings often result in rhythmic muscle contractions — orgasms — that give most people intense pleasure and a sense of well-being and happiness.
Examining the theoretical approaches to what causes us to become aroused to certain things, the social and political identities that develop from particular sexual desires and the health issues surrounding sexual behavior can all foster high-analytical thinking and enriching discussions.
And, as in any other discipline, clinical or "hands-on" learning can be a valuable approach in human sexuality. The Northwestern professor's masturbation seminar was a way for students to engage in the process of female sexual response.
However, sex is different. In a country where sex is everywhere, it's not "normal" to talk about sex. Even in most relationships, couples often do not vocalize their sexual desires, especially in the early stages. Sexually transmitted infections are stigmatized as being the result of what is perceived as "deviant" behavior — like having lots of sex partners — so people are deterred from discussing them with others.
BY JAMES CASTLE
icastle@kansan.com
It's a shame Schapiro did not commend the faculty member for working to break this destructive silence, to normalize discussions about sexual activity and broaden minds. The professor at Northwestern was certainly not the first expert to push such boundaries in academic settings.
Zeb Tortorici, visiting professor of
history at Tulane University presented nude images and live footage of himself masturbating at academic conferences, footage which was a part of his activism in "queering pornography." Tortorici claims he wanted to "assert [himself] as a sexual being," to push people out of their comfort zones and mitigate fears of the human body in its essence, as well as challenge what is typically glorified in gay mainstream pornography — young, white, heteromasculinity — which is obsessed with age, race and gender. Certainly challenging audiences in such a way contributes to the furthering of higher education (and society).
However, just as with any other clinic or activity that may be outside of most peoples' normal experience, measures should be taken to protect students. Sonya Satinsky, professor of health and human sexuality at the University, said that any seminar, such as the one conducted at Northwestern, should be executed in a way as to ensure the experience is consensual, that students are not mandated or pressured to attend and that they understand what is being presented.
The more comfortable students become discussing sex in the classroom and in their personal and social lives, the better they can protect themselves against unplanned parenting, sexual diseases, as well as better understand and express themselves.
I would hope the University would never respond to similar learning opportunities the way Northwestern's administration did. I like to think this school is beyond such ignorance.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A cowboy's way of life defends meat eating
I recently read the article about meat eating and how it is morally indefensible. I believe this article rightly deserves a dignified and respectable response. I am a Kansas native and this has led me to my passion which is none other than the agricultural way of life. In my response to the animal rights article I would like to convey no feelings of hatred or disgust toward the author, and would simply like to properly represent the cowboy way of life.
Facts are the backbone of an argument and nobody knows facts better than a cowboy. He can rattle off just about anything a person would want to know about the animals in his care, proper nutrition, genetics, anatomy and physiology; what to do when they are sick and how to sustain the overall health of the animals.
To say "modern farming methods cause suffering" is a statement that is not based on fact but rather an obscure view of a large part of
the American way of life.
Watch a cowboy who is in the middle of calving season and you will see a number of sleepless nights spent caring for each calf as it is born.
In an example like this I don't see much suffering, but rather a caring individual who loves what he does.
According to Webster's dictionary a cowboy is defined as "one who tends cattle or horses." I would like to draw your attention to the word "tends," which means to pay attention to.
We tend to our animals because we care about their well being, and know how important they are in our lives.
So portray us as mindless, emotionless killers if you wish, but I promise you the American cowboy has a respect for animals most people could never comprehend.
Andrew Malleck is a junior from Topeka.
I am enrolled in Journalism 301, one of the basic classes required for a journalism major.
'Animal slaughter' column requires proven facts for better argument
I found a lot of issues with the editorial article "Animal slaughter for human consumption is morally indefensible," not from a meat-eating perspective, but from a journalistic standpoint. In 301, we are taught that you cannot simply throw out information without supporting it.
"Worldwide, hundreds of millions of healthy people rarely or never eat meat. Even elite athletes have competed as vegetarians."
The parts of the article that irritated me, as a journalist, were these:
Nowhere does the author tell me which countries or groups of people partake in vegetarianism, and she fails to mention which "elite athletes" have competed as vegetarians. This leads me to question the credibility of the entire article, especially when she writes, "science has proven that animals feel intense physical and psychological pain."
As a journalist, you cannot just give ambiguous information and not back it up. Had she included which studies or which scientists tested and proved this "fact," then I would have believed the author. "Science has proven" lots of things. She needs to mention specific studies.
I urge your staff to make your writers cite their sources, as a basic journalism requirement.

WOMEN'S BASK
Jayhawks remain persistent during game
ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com
Sophomore guard Monica Engelman knocked down the first shot of the night for the Kansas women's basketball team, a three point shot assisted by freshman forward Tania Jackson. The shot was the first made by either team and it gave the Jayhawks a lead they would never relinquish.
Engelman's three sparked the Jayhawks as they opened the game making 12 of their first 13 shots from the field for a 92 percent field goal percentage. They also connected on 50 percent of their three point attempts in the first half.
"It definitely gets momentum, especially hitting a three because it is a big shot. It just gets the energy flowing and it's another way for us to get the momentum going," Engelman said.
Lingenham the Jayhawks kept the pace up in the first half, pushing the ball up the court. With 6:27 left in the first half, sophomore guard Angel Goodrich grabbed a rebound and quickly launched a pass across the court to freshman guard Diana Moore for an easy layup. The fast-paced game helped the Jayhawks to a 15-point lead going into halftime.
"We want to control tempo, we want to push, we want to run the ball, catch them off guard on defense when they're running back. Easy buckets that we can try and get so we won't have to set up a play," Goodrich said.
play. Good heroes The Jayhawks moved the ball around well on offense in the first
half, getting everyone involved. Seven different players recorded an assist in the first half, Goodrich led the way with three dimes in the first half and nine in the game.
"We were trying to play as a team, and get everyone involved. If someone didn't have an open shot, pass it to the next guy. The more you do that, the more rotation it is for the defense and the more it makes them have to rotate and gets them off balance. It really opens up a lot, kicking it out to the wings, swinging it, bringing it back inside," Goodrich said.
Despite a big height advantage for the Jayhawks, the Shockers tried to play physical with Davis, knocking her to the floor multiple times in the first half. But the strategy didn't work as she led the Jayhawks with 17 first half points. Goodrich also scored double digits in the first half, with 10 points, and Monica Engelman was right behind her with eight.
"I knew it was going to be physical and I feel like there was a couple cheap shots but it was cool, I don't let it get to me and affect me, I have been working on that because I know teams are going to come at me, take out the 'head of the monster' as we say, so I just have to know it comes with the territory," Davis said.
Davis said. The Jayhawks did slow down a little as the half approached, but still managed to finish shooting 70 percent from the field in the first half.

season, Kansas isn't overlooking anybody.
"I wanted to take them out as soon as I saw them," junior forward Markieff Morris said. "But we learned lessons from that game. You know, never take a team for granted. Just because you don't know who they are doesn't mean you can take them lightly."
MEN'S BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
That lesson even extends to 16th-seeded Boston University. History says the Terriers have no shot — a 16th-seed has never beaten a top seed — but don't tell the Jayhawks that.
"We know that this Boston team is capable of beating us, and we don't want to look past them," Morris said.
More than anything though, the Jayhawks are just excited to get
back after last year's disappointment. Northern Iowa isn't in the field this year, but Kansas is looking forward to avenging the loss.
"We actually just finished talking about it. It's definitely a motivation for us," junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "I just don't want us to come out and fear that will happen again. We have to be loose, play, have fun and enjoy this time. We don't get this time too many more times."
Even coach Bill Self, whose 13th NCAA Tournament starts Friday, said he never gets tired of it.
"It's why you do it, to put yourself in this position," Self said. "I'll be excited, there's no question. I'll struggle sleeping. I'm sure our guys will feel the same way."
No one else admitted losing
sleep, but Taylor said it's been all he could think about lately. The Jayhawks say they're more focused than they were last year, but Self wants his team to stay loose above all else.
"I like our team's make up," Self said. "Last year, I liked it too, but maybe a couple times we were a little too serious. Maybe I created that. Maybe it was self-imposed, I don't know. I just want us to go down there, be loose and have fun."
fun.
For that, he calls on the Morris twins and Brady Morningstar.
"They do the best job of anybody of keeping guys loose," Self said. "Those are some goofy dudes."

NCAA TOURNAMENT Johnson outscores Alabama State
DAYTON, Ohio — Shot by shot,
Melvin Johnson III played up to his
permanship.
The smooth guard scored a career-high 29 points Wednesday night, putting on the most scintillating show so far in the NCAA tournament while leading Texas-San Antonio to a 70-61 victory over Alabama State in the "First Four" round.
The Roadrunners came to Dayton with a stated goal: San Antonio had never won an NCAA tournament game of any sort. Now, they've got reason to raise a banner in the UTSA Convocation Center.
The Roadrunners (20-13) and their smooth guard head to Cleveland for a game Friday against top-seeded Ohio State, which won't allow all those open shots.
Associated Press
Against Alabama State (17-18), Johnson took advantage of every one. The sophomore had a career high in the first half alone, when he outscored the Hornets 25-21.
Tramayne Moorer and Jeff Middlebrooks had 12 points apiece for Alabama State, which had the worst record in the expanded 68-team tournament.

Ochocinco tries out for KC soccer team
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Chad Ochocinco will try to play a different kind of football during the NFL lockout.
Never short on publicity-grabbing ideas, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver is set for a four-day tryout with Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer starting Tuesday.
MLS
The club said Wednesday that after the tryout, it would determine whether to extend the trial period.
"We always searching for players who can help our team and bringing in new talent," Sporting Kansas City manager Peter Vermes said. "We know that Chad is an exceptional athlete and that he loves the sport of soccer, and he did play a lot when he was younger. We're excited to see how his skills will translate once he arrives next week and begins training with our team."
Ochocinco started playing soccer at age 4 but those to focus on football in high school.
"Due to the NFL lockout, I'm excited to be able to follow my childhood dream of playing for a Major League Soccer team," Ochocinco said.

With six weeks remaining until the NFL draft, the Kansas football program held its annual pro day on Wednesday morning. It was an opportunity for graduating seniors to showcase their skills in front of potential NFL employers.
Among the nearly 20 athletes on hand for workouts were offensive lineman Brad Thorson, receiver Johnathan Wilson, and defensive back Chris Harris.
Thorson, a former transfer from the University of Wisconsin, finished his Kansas career with 24 consecutive starts on the offensive line. Thorson found playing time at every position across the line while at Kansas, and he thinks

"I've played in three different systems," he said of Wisconsin's power run system, Mark Mangino's spread offense, and Turner Gill's balanced attack. "I have a com-
fortability with the game, and versatility across the line. I think it will help with teams filling out a roster."
Thorson said scouts are looking for him to be a guard or center at the next level. With a business degree and a master's in economics, the NFL labor situation isn't lost on Thorson.
Wilson finished his Kansas career with 119 receptions and over 1,400 yards receiving. The Houston native was satisfied with
"I cross my fingers that my name's called, and I cross my fingers that they can come to an agreement so I can keep playing football and stay in my little fantasy world a little bit longer."
"I felt pretty good," he said.
"My routes and individual work was pretty good. My training paid off."

with agent Mark Magazu, Wilson has been working out six days a week in Long Beach, Calif., in preparation for Wednesday's workout and the potential training camp this
spring.
Defensive back Chris Harris was a four-year starter for the Jayhawks, and that accomplishment is something he hopes NFL teams will take note of.
"I've got a lot of film," he said jokingly. "If they need film, I've got a lot of film. They shouldn't have a problem with that. That should be the last thing they need right now."

was something Harris noted multiple times after his workouts. In the 40-yard dash, he ran a 4.47 seconds.
"I actually ran slower than what I usually do," he said afterwards. "I wanted to run a 4.3 today. That was my goal, but I'll take 4.4."

Team to compete without injured swimmer in NCAA
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Three days before the NCAA Swimming and Diving National Championships, the Kansas swimming and diving team had to endure troubling news.
Kansas swimmer Stephanie Payne, a junior from Derby, was struck by a car in the parking lot outside of the Ambler Student Recreation Center.
Payne was emerging from
between two parked cars at 2:45 p.m. on Monday when she was hit by a passing car.
Paramedics transported Payne to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where she was admitted.
Because of privacy laws, the swimming and diving team was unable to disclose the injuries that Payne suffered. However, coach Clark Campbell released a statement after the accident.
"We are deeply concerned with Stephanie's health and well-

Payne, who was released from the hospital on Tuesday and is now recuperating at home, was the fourth qualifier for the NCAA Championships in the 400-yard individual medley. Although she was not invited to compete, the Jayhawks will be represented at the National Championships.

MORNING BREW
If you want to watch the tournament this March, you better have HDNet, the exclusive home of the 16-team College Basketball Invitational (what tournament did you think I was talking about?). The four-year-old postseason tournament is the third of its kind, and also third in relevance, far behind the NCAA tournament and even the National Invitational Tournament.
BY GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com
This year's edition of the CBI features only one team from the traditional power six conferences — Oregon. But there's nothing powerful about the Ducks, who finished the regular season 16-17 overall and 7-11 in conference play. One of Oregon's losses came to San Jose State, 17-15 overall and 5-11 in conference. Oregon could potentially play San Jose St. in the semifinals, and I'm sure the Ducks are dying for revenge.
According to the CBI's website, the event "provides a meaningful opportunity for teams that deserve a postseason experience." Um, no it doesn't. The event, a borderline sham, is sponsored by Zebra Pen. With the NCAA Tournament expanding to 68 teams this year, and the NIT featuring 32, that makes the winner of the CBI the 101st best team in the country. Congratulations. There's no reason for a team to be proud of winning this tournament.
doesn't get your blood flowing, well then I don't blame you.
Along with the programs metioned above, the CBI features other barnburners such as Weber State, with its 18 total victories, and Conference USA member Central Florida with a 6-10 conference record. Some of the first round matchups include Duquesne at Montana, James Madison at Davidson and Hofstra at Evansville. If that
THE
MORNING
BREW
On the CBI's website, Zebra Pen claims
it assembles the brackets with the goal of minimizing missed class time. If Zebra Pen is really worried about missed class time, then cancel the event. Is there really any relevance to the college basketball world if Oregon defeats Weber State in the first round of a remarkably unimportant tournament? Many people who consider themselves college basketball fans don't even know about this tournament. No one cares about this tournament, it has no prestige, and the players miss class time to play what amounts to exhibition games. There is no glory, even if they win it all.

Illness keeps Pullen from K-State practice
TUCSON, Ariz. — Jacob Pullen is sick and did not practice with Kansas State on Wednesday.
The senior guard, who leads the Wildcats in scoring with 19.5 points per game, came down ill this morning and spent the afternoon in his room at the team hotel.
K-State officials were reluctant to release details about his illness, but said they expected him to recover in time to play against Utah State on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
When pressed about Pullen's status, teammates suggested he was suffering from food poisoning.
Jamar Samuels said Pullen was being well taken care of in the meantime.
"It was from something he ate last night, a cheeseburger or something like that," said sophomore Jordan Henriquez-Roberts. "But he's going to be all right and he's going to go tomorrow. I know Jake ... he's going to give his all tomorrow whether he's 100 percent or not."
"He'll be all right. He's drinking a lot of Gatorade and water," Samuels said. "His mom is here, so she'll baby him a little bit so he can get better. He'll be there tomorrow."
Practicing without Pullen was strange for the team, but nothing it couldn't overcome.
"It's just a precautionary
Freshman Will Spradling spent extra time during Wednesday's practice as the first-team's point guard to make up for Pullen's absence, and every guard on the roster had to stay on the court longer than usual.
measure," said forward Victor Ojeleye. "He's not feeling well, and coaches don't want us to catch anything he's got."
Beyond that, Pullen missing practice had no long-term impact.
"We've practiced with him all season and played with him all season," Spradling said. "Not having him for one practice isn't going to hurt."

Jayhawks advance to second round
Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis excels, helps Kansas surpass Wichita State in WNIT
BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com
A perfect shooting percentage is usually reserved for players who only see court time at the end of a blow out. No one expects perfection from the starters or even the stars, but sophomore forward Carolyn Davis is a different breed of star. In 29 minutes of play she shot a near perfect 14-of-15 from the field, helping Kansas defeat Wichita State 79-58.
The Jayhawks have come to rely on Davis for consistent production on points and rebounds. This game was no different. Davis recorded a game-high 33 points and added 12 rebounds.
"I know that is what my teammates and coaches expect from me every night" Davis said. "They expect me to be consistent and make the shots I am supposed to make and get rebounds when we have a size advantage so it makes me feel good that I am holding my own."
Davis had little trouble getting to the basket, whether she was cutting through undersized defenders or simply getting to the rim before the defense was set up.

"It is good for us that she is able to finish so well inside because it makes us dangerous," sophomore guard Monica Engelman said.
Engelman shot 2-of-3 from the three-
point range, leading a 44 percent effort
from beyond the arc.
"I was trying to be confident and be aggressive," Engelman said.
The Jayhawks had 19 assists during the game, led by sophomore guard Angel Goodrich. She recorded nine assists and scored 10 points.
"It means we are sharing the ball, we are getting everyone involved and not trying to force anything." Goodrich said.

Mike Gunooe/KANSAS Coach Bill Self argues with a call in the first half Thursday. Kansas will play its first NCAA tournament game Friday at 5:50 p.m. in Tulsa, Okla.
Go ahead and put Kansas in the Final Four. Not that many Jayhawk fans needed the extra support, but Kansas' path to the Final Four in Houston is the easiest of the four No.1 seeds.

- 13th seed Belmont — The Bruins are an experienced team with 30 wins on the year. And with playing Wisconsin in the first round — whose slow tempo would make James Naismith proud — an early Belmont lead would make a Wisconsin comeback tough.
Bracket competitors should also be wary of Duke. Last year's champion is a No. 1 seed once again, but they landed in the West bracket this year, with regionals played in Anaheim, California. A potential Sweet 16 matchup with Arizona or Texas won't be fun, as either team

could take down the Blue Devils. If they advance to the regional final, they face a potential road game with 2-seed San Diego State, whose campus is just a short drive down 1-5 from Anaheim.
Jump off the Jimmer bandwagon. BYU's All-American Jimmer Fredette has wowed audiences all season, getting 28 points per game. However, since the season-ending suspension to forward Brandon Davies two weeks ago, BYU has been blown out by New Mexico, struggled to beat TCU, and lost handily to San Diego State. The Cougars were given a 3-seed, but St. Johns should take care of them in the second round.
Don't put all four No. 1 seeds in the Final Four. It's only happened once — in 2008 — and it won't happen this year. Kansas and Ohio State should make the trip to Houston, but Pittsburgh and Duke won't survive their regionalists.

In between bagpipes and drums, the St. Patrick's Day Parade also had some pop this year.
Raising awareness, student volunteers for the Jayhawk Buddy System performed a flash mob dance routine to Taio Cruz's "Dynamite" at several locations along the parade route Thursday afternoon.
about 15 dancers, all wearing green jayhawk Buddy System T-shirts, came out of the audience and took to the street for the routine.
Shannon Foster, a sophomore from Overland Park, said she volunteered to dance after the president of her sorority urged members to do so.
"They're just trying to get their message out," Foster said as she jogged to the next performance.
The Jayhawk Buddy System first performed its routine at the men's basketball game against Missouri on Feb. 7 in Allen
Fieldhouse. A video of the routine posted on YouTube by KU Athletics has more than 279,000 views.
The Jayhawk Buddy System is an initiative of the Office of the Vice Provost of Student Success and encourages students to have a "buddy" when going out or drinking to stay safe.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Style. Everyone has it - although some might disagree with me. It just depends on the person and what he or she is trying to convey, or not convey.
Fashion, whether influenced by the cast of Jersey Shore or death metal, can represent one's personality to the world.
These days, when people talk about fashion, Lady Gaga comes to mind. Whether incubating in an egg or sporting horns fit for Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream or Satan (whichever comparison works best for you, stylish readers), she seems to dominate headlines with her outfits, some of which outrage critics and intrigue fans alike. It dominates our commercial culture down to the last "Matthew McConaughey takes his shirt off again" advertisements.
I was once asked to describe my own style. I thought for a moment and then said, "Jack Daniels at a Sunday brunch." I can go for a more sophisticated, elegant look, with my blazer, v-neck sweaters, skinny ties with accompanying tie clip and perfectly coiffed receding hairline, or I can go for the "I don't
give a damn," scruffy-faced, just-rolled-out-of-an-alley look. Both of which I pull off exquisitely, by the way.
I've realized over the years that my closet contains enough of the basics to afford me options. When I want to go out for a night on the town, I've got enough flannel for The Replay and enough dress shirts for Tonic.
A family member once remarked that at times I could blend in with the box seat crowd drinking mint julips at the Kentucky Derby, while other times I could fit in well with the drunken, shirtless men playing king of the hill with a half empty keg of Natural Light in the center of the track. I took it as a compliment.
Some see my style as a contradiction, but I just consider myself a renaissance man.
This issue of Jayplay has several articles on style that can help you with wardrobe choices. Gabrielle Schock's feature on page 8 offers five wardrobe essentials for men and women, while Jennifer DiDonato's story on page 11, gives helpful tips for picking out classic hats.
While the end of winter has put me in a fashion slumber, the beginning of spring is waking up my style conscience, which is asking me, "Why the hell are you sleeping in an alley? I thought we were through with this."

Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn, graduate student, and Michelle MacBain, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, are the hosts of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on KJHK 90.7fm and at kjhk.org
> Tackle the sticky world of relationships.
// MIKE ANDERSON
Q. My boyfriend of over a year has lost almost all of his sex drive. I've tried the typical methods (lingerie, porn, alcohol, sexy messages/talk, etc.) to get him interested in sex and have had less than a 20 percent success rate (which results in a 35 percent erection, at best). He insists that there are no unresolved issues or problems, and that the interest is there but physical desire is not. In spite of his lack of interest in sex, my libido is through the roof and out of control. The question isn't whether or not to cheat or leave it's how can I get my guy's battery recharged?
3 Leave him. I know you said you didn't want to, but if you have a talk with him about it and he isn't listening or willing to meet you halfway, then move on.
Here are a couple options to try
Sometimes libido differences can't be worked out. Sexual satisfaction is a very important part of a healthy relationship. It been a year now; ask yourself what really makes you happy.
A. First of all, I think your boyfriend is missing out...big time. What does he mean by not having the physical desire? A loss in libido usually has a lot to with stress. A loss of desire could also stem from a poor diet, or even medication. Perhaps something else in his life is causing him stress, and he's afraid to talk about it. As you have been going out for a year, I doubt that his loss in libido stems from any worry about his ability as a lover, or his distaste for the sex you are having—both of those would have come up by now.
birthday
1 Tell him how good it makes you feel when you have sex with him. Every guy loves to hear either how good he is or how much you want to have sex with him.
2 Don't bring up sex for a while (as long as you can go, anyway). Sometimes the absence of it makes one realize how good they have it.
A. Sex is vital to a long-term, healthy intimate relationship. A satisfying sex life is touted as integral in the stimulation and sustainability of a relationship. It sounds to me like you adopt this way of thinking.
By investing time in lingerie, porn, etc., you show dedication to the sexual relationship you share with your partner. In an unfortunate twist of fate, your boyfriend doesn't seem to care about sexually satisfying you. Do you require a long-term partner to invest his or her own emotions and time into satisfying your needs? With the 110 percent given to him, does he reciprocate with the same?
I never advocate cheating. How will that benefit your relationship? You don't want to cheat or leave. But why don't you want to leave? The lack of sexual satisfaction is a major problem; you are soliciting advice for crying out loud. What is your partner bringing to the relationship that outweighs the issue into which you seem to invest quite a bit of emotion? Ultimately, you must decide if having no sex life with your boyfriend is something you can accept.
boyfriend is something you Communicate to him the importance of desire, passion, stimulation and sexual interest in your shared life together. If he fails to attempt or fulfill your needs, then I say get rid of him. Plenty of (sexually interested) fish are in the sea.

It wasn't the 2011 tournament preview, which in the Midwest will feature Marcus Morris on the cover. It was from last year, with a diminutive Northern Iowa guard named Ali Farokhmanesh letting out an ecstatic yell after hitting an infamous three.

If you don't plan on filling out an NCAA tournament bracket, read no further. For the other 99 percent of the population, here are some tips for winning some cash.
COMMENTARY
Go ahead and put Kansas in the Final Four. Not that many Jayhawk fans needed the extra support, but Kansas' path to the Final Four in Houston is the easiest of the four No.1 seeds.
At least one double-digit seed makes the Sweet 16 every year. This year, look for these teams to possibly achieve the feat:
NCAA Tournament tips to ensure a successful bracket
- 12th seed Richmond, the Spiders won 27 games, captured the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship, and get a favorable matchup against Vanderbilt in the first round.
- 12th seed Utah State — The Aggies were under-seeded here at 12. Many bracket projections had them as an 8 or 9 seed, so beating Kansas State shouldn't shock anyone.
BY KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Wisconsin committed Bracket competitors should also be bary of Duke. Last year's champion is a No. 1 seed once again, but they landed in the West bracket this year, with regionals played in Anaheim, California. A potential Sweet 16 matchup with Arizona or Texas won't be fun, as either team
- 13th seed Belmont — The Bruins are an experienced team with 30 wins on the year. And with playing Wisconsin in the first round — whose slow tempo would make James Naismith proud — an early Belmont lead would make a Wisconsin comeback tough.

could take down the Blue Devils. If they advance to the regional final, they face a potential road game with 2-seed San Diego State, whose campus is just a short drive down I-5 from Anaheim.
Jump off the Jimmer bandwagon. BYU's All-American Jimmer Fredrete has wowed audiences all season, getting 28 points per game. However, since the season-ending suspension to forward Brandon Davies two weeks ago, BYU has been blown out by New Mexico, struggled to beat TCU, and lost handily to San Diego State. The Cougars were given a 3-seed, but St. Johns should take care of them in the second round.

Don't put all four No. 1 seeds in the Final Four. It's only happened once — in 2008 — and it won't happen this year. Kansas and Ohio State should make the trip to Houston, but Pittsburgh and Duke won't survive their regionals.

WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO BREAK YOUR ARM
( ) ( ) ( )
> We know you're curious.
When I think about telling this story it literally makes me want to throw up. It's hard to relive. Two years ago when I was living in Battenfeld Scholarship Hall we were having the annual Manliest Manly Man competition. I had refused to participate because I thought it was stupid, but people thought I could beat the guy who had won the arm wrestling competition two years running.
It was the championship round and we were doing best two out of three. I had lost the first round, and in the second he had my arm nearly pinned. I just kept telling myself, "Don't lose, don't lose." The next thing
Tough break! An X-Ray of Collin's arm after doctors placed staples in it to heal the break.
I know, I hear a big snap like a branch breaking over somebody's knee. At the same time, I see my arm flying back and forth and I realized that I wasn't telling it to do that. That's when I knew it was broken.
I didn't feel a thing because there was so much shock and adrenalin. Everyone but me was freaking out. Their eyes got really wide and about 30 guys looked like they were about to puke. I starting cracking jokes to get them to relax. I even joked with the KU police officer that showed up and asked if he could pistol-whip me to knock me out. He said that was against protocol.
When I got to the hospital I could feel the bones grinding together inside my arm. Of course they gave me lots of painkillers, so then it felt like I was melting into the bed.
You know what's funny about the whole thing? Two weeks before this all happened I was arm wrestling and someone made the comment: "You know you can break your arm doing that."

James Baker, Copell, Texas junior, didn't need a monitor to know his heart wasn't into his cardio routine, but a passion to exercise left him searching for a solution. Baker still has his running shoes, but they only make it as far as the Robinson Center Pool locker room. "Running is boring and repetitive; swimming allows you the ability to switch between workout." Baker says.
Americans spend billions annually in an effort to make running enjoyable. With an $80 pair of shoes, a $200 iPod and a $60 heart-rate monitor you can spend hundreds of dollars without breaking a sweat.

THAT'S DISGUSTING // DUST MITES
> Dude...gross.
When you drift off to dreamland tonight, odds are you won't be the only one in your bed — and it won't be because you just got lucky. Thousands of dust mites could be crawling around your pillows and mattress, feeding on your dead skin cells as you catch some Z's. Not only is this pretty unsettling — it can also be hazardous to your health.
Roxana Voica, an allergist at the Topeka Allergy and Asthma Clinic, says studies show that 98 percent of Kansas households contain dust mites — microscopic eight-legged creatures that like to call bedding and furniture their home, sweet home.
For some, dust mites cause an allergic reaction similar to pollen, so a runny nose, sneezing attacks, nasal congestion and cough are all common symptoms. These
---
symptoms can be annoying, but dust mites also can cause more serious reactions among some individuals. Voica says dust mites can also complicate asthma, causing shortness of breath, wheezing and the potential for asthma attacks. Dust mites also can cause eczema to become more severe.

Creepy crawlers: Dust mites like to cling to bedding and aggravate allergies and asthma
Luckily, getting rid of these creepy, crawl critters can be pretty easy. Leanna Wiley, Overland Park senior, says she doesn't really worry about dust mites because she washes her sheets regularly. "They're clean, so hopefully there's some kind of buffer in that," she says.
That's exactly what Voica recommends. Dust mites cannot survive in temperatures above 140 F, so individuals should wash all bedding in hot water every 10 days. People should also dust and vacuum frequently to remove dust mites from the environment. More drastic measures include purchasing mite-proof mattress encasings and removing all carpet.
So, in a few simple steps, you can say "buhbye" to these pesky, unwanted bed-mates and "hello" to an insect-free slumber.

SHAPE UP F PURSUING THE ELUSIVE BEACH BODY
// ELLIOT METZ
UP FOR SPRING
BEACH BODY
Photo Illustration | Mike Gunnoe
Break weight: When trying to shed pounds before spring and summer trips, eating healthy and working out are essential to your well-being. Crash diets can be dangerous.
It's almost here. That glorious week when KU students, along with 1.5 million other college kids across the country, get to kick back and forget about classes: spring break.
Many will be headed for tropical destinations in faraway lands like Cabo San Lucas and Cozumel. These off-the-clock Jayhawks will relax in foldout beach chairs, enjoying tropical drinks, taking in the warm sunlight and frolicking on the beach.
In preparation for such frolicking, many of those students have been racking up extra time at the gym. After all, 150,000 students will be vacationing in South Padre Island and 500,000 in Panama City alone, according to a study by Online Schools. So it makes perfect sense that spring breakers want to look their best.
"I think about looking good and fit," Overland Park senior Lindsay Santee, who is going to Miami for spring break, says. "I try to make smarter choices, but I don't stress out about it as much as other people."
DANGEROUS CHOICES
With spring break only a couple days away, you may be tempted to try a more drastic alternative. "I know quite a few people who have been crash dieting for spring break," Santee says.
"Don't starve yourself," Bonnie Matthews, a contributor and blogger for The Dr. Oz Show,
says. "Crash diets are often dangerous and don't promote healthy eating or exercise habits."
The idea of a "perfect beach body" is very common, but perhaps equally dangerous. "We are bombarded by media telling us to look as thin as possible and that usually means drastic, unhealthy measures," St. Francis senior Sheryl Miller, personal trainer, group fitness and yoga instructor at the Ambler Student Recreation
Center, says. "The truth is, they do not work."
According to Miller and Matthews, the healthier alternative is to make small lifestyle changes that will result in a healthier overall routine. Though spring break is almost here, these same changes can help you to develop a hot beach body for summer.
A BETTER WAY
Matthews, from The Dr. Oz Show, lost 150

pounds when she started exercising and making healthy diet choices. She thinks that there is an important social aspect to losing weight. She believes that, especially for people trying to lose weight for a specific event like spring break, you need to resist going out with your friends for fatty meals and alcohol. "You'll be enjoying tropical drinks and eating a lot at the all inclusive resorts, so consider this a short-term commitment so you can splurge a little during spring break," Matthews says.
DIET:
EXERCISE:
Beverages: Miller says that adjusting your liquid intake can make a big difference. "If you drink regular pop, switch to diet. If you already drink diet, switch to water. Regular pop is made of liquid calories that don't fill you up, and diet pop just dehydrates you."
"Never Nevers": Matthews believes that cutting out three foods that are high in sugar, fat and calories is one of the easiest ways to improve your overall diet. For her, cutting out ice cream, sugar and pizza was a big help. "It's a great place to start, and won't leave you feeling overwhelmed." Matthews says. "I call these my 'never never' foods."
Weight training: Both Matthews and Miller agree that adding just 30 minutes of weight training is extremely important for a healthy lifestyle. And with it comes a pretty great advantage: muscle burns fat even when you're just sitting in class.
Fight laziness: We all know that it's better to take the stairs than to take the elevator, but that doesn't mean we always do it. By not allowing yourself to cheat like this, you can burn off easy calories. "Unless you're injured or the temperature is under twenty, try not to take the bus," Miller says.
LIFE IN GENERAL:
Being aware of everything you're putting into your body is a good way to start to change your routine, says Matthews. Many apps, such as Calorie Counter and Diet Tracker, are available for smart phones to help you track not only what you ingest, but how many calories it contains.
Get your beauty sleep: If your sleep schedule is out of whack, the overall wellness of your body will soon follow suit. "This includes those pesky hormones that tell your body to hold onto fat in your midsection," Miller says.
Peer pressure can sometimes be a hindrance when trying to lose those last few pounds. It's hard to resist going out for wings and beers with your friends, but in the end, it'll pay off.
Another easy way to shed some flab before you hit the beach is to take a bottle of water onto campus with you, instead of hitting up the vending machines in the halls of Wescoe before class. Miller, the personal trainer at the Rec, says that drinking lots of water is vital, and has multiple benefits. The best of these is that it keeps you hydrated, which prevents your brain from giving off false hunger pangs. "It also makes you look and feel less bloated, because it flushes your system out," Miller says.

FIVE WARDROBE ESSENTIALS FOR MEN & women
TIMELESS CLOTHING
OPTIONS THAT CAN
IMPROVE YOUR
EVERYDAY LOOK
// GABRIELLE SCHOCK
You're running late and you only have a few minutes to get dressed before you meet [insert name of boyfriend or girlfriend here] for dinner. You start frantically digging through your closet for something to wear. Sweatpants? No. Ripped jeans? No.
Ripped jeans! No.
It's only now that you realize you have a closet full of clothes, but nothing appropriate to wear. Many college students have wardrobes consisting of casual sweatshirts and jeans or too-trendy graphic t-shirts and tank tops.
When we get dressed in the morning or for a specific event, these unnecessary clothes get in the way of what we're really looking to wear. Avoiding the "I-have-nothing-to-wear" state of mind is as simple as building your wardrobe around only a few essentials.
And only a few essentials.
"The fashion world will always differ between what is cool and beautiful," David Lloyd, co-owner of Method, a clothing store in Kansas City, Mo., says. "But you do need basics. Anything beyond that is crazy."

Fashion comforts: Building up a comfortable, essential wardrobe can help with the decision-making process in the morning. Women can pair dark jeans with flats and a nice shirt for a hip but classic look.
3. Anything buyout?
Lloyd says maintaining a good wardrobe projects confidence, plus it's economical, something that Becca Sabates, Prairie Village junior, always keeps in mind when she shops.
"I think too many girls worry about the 'in' piece of clothing," Sabates says. "I think classic,
clean clothing is better, and I always have a price-per-wear rule each time I go shopping. If I'm going to spend $100 on a pair of boots, I should want to wear them everyday, not just while going out."
Buying trendy clothes is exciting, but your money might be better spent on classic clothing pieces you could wear to a job interview, a nice dinner or even to class. So if you're ready to spend some cash to boost your wardrobe, here are the five items that should top your shopping list. Men, you're up first:
MEN
Derryberry is right. Most college men have clothing that falls at two ends of the spectrum: a suit for hitting the career fair once a semester and athletic clothing that should only be worn
"I swear I've met more people who don't own a set of clothing that they can wear to a nice event," Dylan Derryberry, fashion guide to his friends and a sophomore from McKinney, Texas, says. "Even if it's as simple as a pair of khakis and a button-up shirt."
P
Man on the run: For college-aged men, it is important to have some basic essentials in the closet for a nice dinner date on the town, or even just a casual look on campus. Spending more on a pair of dark jeans will be worth the price. You can pair jeans with a nice pair of oxford and a white dress shirt. Photo Illustration by Travis Young

It was from last year, with a diminutive Northern Iowa guard named Ali Farokhmanesh letting out an ecstatic yell after hitting an infamous three.

If you don't plan on filling out an NCAA tournament bracket, read no further. For the other 99 percent of the population, here are some tips for winning some cash
At least one double-digit seed makes the Sweet 16 every year. This year, look for these teams to possibly achieve the feat:
- 12th seed Richmond, the Spiders won 27 games, captured the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship, and get a favorable matchup against Vanderbilt in the first round.
12th seed Utah State — The Aggies were under-seeded here at 12. Many bracket projections had them as an 8 or 9 seed, so beating Kansas State shouldn't shock anyone.
- 13th seed Belmont — The Bruins are an experienced team with 30 wins on the year. And with playing Wisconsin in the first round — whose slow tempo would make James Naismith proud — an early Belmont lead would make a Wisconsin comeback tough.

Bracket competitors should also be wary of Duke. Last year's champion is a No. 1 seed once again, but they landed in the West bracket this year, with regionals played in Anaheim, California. A potential Sweet 16 match with Arizona or Texas won't be fun, as either team

could take down the Blue Devils. If they advance to the regional final, they face a potential road game with 2-seed San Diego State, whose campus is just a short drive down 1-5 from Anaheim.
Jump off the Jimmer bandwagon. BYU's All-American Jimmer Fredette has wowed audiences all season, getting 28 points per game. However, since the season-ending suspension to forward Brandon Davies two weeks ago, BYU has been blown out by New Mexico, struggled to beat TCU, and lost handily to San Diego State. The Cougars were given a 3-seed, but St. John should take care of them in the second round.
Don't put all four No. 1 seeds in the Final Four. It's only happened once — in 2008 — and it won't happen this year. Kansas and Ohio State should make the trip to Houston, but Pittsburgh and Duke won't survive their regionals.

at the gym. So what's your closet lacking?
1. A pair of dark jeans.
Jeans will always be a casual necessity in anyone's wardrobe, but having at least one dark-rinsed pair of denim in your closet is a safe bet; you'll be able to wear them not only to class, but also out to dinner or to a casual work event.
Gap, Urban Outfitters and other stores in Lawrence and Kansas City offer several different styles of dressy denim, all of which are reasonably priced. Jeans can become pricey, though they might be worth it.
"I'll buy other things at thrift stores, but I think it's worth the extra money to go some place nice for jeans if I'm going to wear them often," Derryberry says.
2. A white or pinstriped button-up shirt
"White dress shirts look good on just about everybody," Kim Johnson Gross, stylist and author of the book What to Wear for the Rest of Your Life. "They look sharp and are versatile."
Balance out your t-shirt collection with a few collared, button-up shirts. They can be white, like Gross suggests, or have subtle stripes. Either way, they'll look great paired with your new dark jeans or a nice pair of khakis. No tie required, too.

3. Khakis:
Sorry guys, but you can't wear jeans all the time. Khakis are great for work, a dressed-up dinner or, call me crazy, even wearing to class.
"Jeans and khakis are a staple of the American wardrobe," Gross says. Wear them with a button-up and sweater or even a nice t-shirt."
Also, look for a pair that is pleat-free and in a slightly darker color, which will help prevent fading.
4. V-neck sweater:
A v-neck sweater is an essential layering piece that not only looks good over shirts, but also layered beneath a jacket. It's one essential that Derryberry relies on nearly everyday. "A nice v-neck sweater over a long-sleeve button up and dark jeans is usually my go-to outfit," he says.
5. A quality pair of shoes:
"We always recommend a great pair of leather oxford for any guy," Gina Serrano, owner of Habitat Shoe Boutique in Leawood, says. "These days, you can wear this style [of shoe] with jeans and a sweater or slacks and a sport coat."
A good pair of shoes can cost upwards of $100, so make sure they fit and they're comfortable, says Serrano.
WOMEN
"I feel most comfortable buying reliable things that I know I'm going to wear often, rather than trendy items," Amanda Allen, Wichita junior, says.
Like Sabates, Allen also agrees that a girl should have a set of classic clothing that, when in a rush, can be thrown on quickly.
"I have to wake up too early to make any other decision on what I'm wearing, so I always have a pair of jeans and a cute cardigan to throw on," Allen says.
So what should your go-to items be?
1. A versatile black dress:
The "little black dress" saying has been around for years, but for good reason; a
PING
versatile, black dress fits just about any occasion. Emily Hunt, Topeka junior, says she purchased a simple, cotton black dress from Target and wears it about twice a week. "It's one of my favorite pieces," Hunt says. "I can wear it under tops, with a cardigan and belt or even by itself. I love the versatility."
A professional, not too stylish handbag makes a great impression during job interviews. In her book Nina Garcia's Look Book, fashion guru and Marie Claire fashion director Nina Garcia says, "Your bag should always go with your ensemble and be neat." With that in mind, look for a simple bag that is made of a quality material, such as leather or suede, and free of any logos.
2. A structured, quality handbag:
Photo Illustration by Travis Young Spring style: Dark jeans are classy, slimming and look good year round. Paired with a solid t-shirt or nice button up shirt, you can add a bit of elegance while walking to class.
3. Button-up shirt:
Like the male version, a button-up is a great mix-and-match piece for any girl's wardrobe. Jessie Artigue, a Kansas City-based stylist and fashion blogger, recommends finding a button-up that looks polished, but not too stuffy.
"One thing that turns people off from button-up shirts is that they're too preppy," Artigue says. "You can prevent that by looking for one that is still professional but maybe in draped fabric or an interesting pattern."
4. Comfortable, but dressy heels.
"A classic pump with a heel height of about three inches is appropriate for any occasion," Serrano, with Habitat Shoes, says. A simple, black pump can be worn with numerous outfits, but don't sacrifice quality or comfort for price or style.
No matter what style of jeans you prefer, make sure to have at least one dark pair in your closet. They're not only dressier than lighter denim, but also slimming. A good pair of jeans can be expensive, but remember Sabates" cost-per-wear" rule:buying a $100 pair of dark jeans is less intimidating when you consider how often you'll wear them. JP
5. A pair of dark jeans:
CHEAP THRILLS
You just learned what necessities should go in your closet, but what about the fun stuff? Here's where to get those trendy items for a good price:
FOREVER 21 // Ladies, this should be an obvious choice. With several items costing as low as $5, this store is a goldmine for trendy shirts, dresses and even denim.
TARGET // For men, Target offers affordable graphic t-shirts and plaid button-up shirts, and the Target women's section is great for trendy dresses or shoes at cheap prices.
THRIFT STORES // There's no better place to find cheap, one-of-a-kind clothing than a thrift store or secondhand shop. Lawrence has several, including Arizona Trading Company and Wild Man Vintage.

DOING WITHOUT // SPEEDING
> Absence makes the heart grow ... ?
Three times a week, I plan to leave my apartment at 7:25 a.m. and drive to Topeka, where I work. At least once a week, however, 7:25 becomes 7:35, and I'm running late. No problem, I think — I can make up that time on the road.
Of course when I say "make up that time," I'm giving myself the OK to speed. What if, for a whole week, I didn't drive a single mile per hour over the speed limit? This past week, I found out.
When I don't speed, other drivers hate me that's my first realization as I'm driving to

work. I slow to the posted speed limit of "20" when I go through the K-tag lane. An angry driver slides up close to my tail, and I fight the urge not to speed up.
Photo by Lindsey Siegle Life in the slow lane: Lindsey Siegle drives at the speed limit but makes other drivers mad.
But there's a reason why speeding is a bad idea: it increases our risk of fatal accidents, says Lieutenant Robert Baker of the Kansas Highway Patrol. "You have less time to react," he says, "and if you do react, overreaction is much easier because you're going faster." While a 5-mph-over-the-limit habit may not kill you, Baker says you're still in danger of getting ticketed.
Most of my driving week is nothing more than an attempt to keep other drivers happy. 'You'd like to pass this semi first? Let me slow down to 55 and wait until you're done. It'll take me at least 10 minutes to get past him, anyhow.' I notice that speeders own the roads, and the rest of us should just scoot over and shut up.

CLASSIC HATS
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOU
// JENNIFER DIDONATO
You've seen them on Bruno Mars, Ryan Reynolds, Mischa Barton and Taylor Swift. Chances are you've seen your grandparents sporting some in old pictures, too. And now those same classic, vintage hats are reappearing on our very own campus; fedoras, flatcaps, newsboys, cloche hats and berets, just to name a few.
If you're an adventurous soul seeking new headgear that can protect you from the elements, finish off your outfit and flatter your features, here's what you need to know before embarking on your search.
YOUR OUTFIT
Classic hats are not for every outfit. However, Michael Miller, owner of The Missing Piece hat shops in Kansas City, Mo., says, "You don't have to have a suit on to wear a hat." So what do you wear with a hat?
"Obviously, you shouldn't wear a classic hat with sweatpants," Brandy Stratton, sales associate at Arizona Trading Company, 736 Massachusetts Street, says. "You kind of have to pull yourself together a little bit."
Stratton says you'll also want to be sure your hat coordinates with any colors and patterns you may be wearing. "For example, if you're wearing a plaid newsboy, you wouldn't want to wear a clashing plaid shirt with it," she says.
How you wear your hat can communicate different looks as well. Miller says wearing the brim up on a fedora creates a younger, preppy look, while wearing the brim down gives off a classier Sinatra vibe.
Hannah Roark, Stillwater, Okla., sophomore, has been wearing classic hats since she was six years old and always wears them at an angle. "I think there's a certain romance, a certain Humphrey Bogart to it," Roark says. "You always feel like you could be in a trench on a smoky street corner somewhere. And I love that hats can reveal different parts of your personality, so it's always fun to figure out
which hat is 'you' that day."
Josh Lucas, Olathe freshman, frequently dons a newsboy hat because it matches his self-described "urban-antique-19th century" look. "Pay attention to what you're wearing and make sure that it's you," Lucas says. "If a t-shirt and a top hat is your thing, then that's cool."
YOUR FACE SHAPE
In order to achieve balance, long faces are better off sticking with shorter crowns, which cut face length, while round faces are better suited with higher crowns, which add length.
Brett and Kate McKay, authors of The Art of Manliness, write about men's fashion. They say for any face shape, the goal in choosing a hat is to achieve balance. If you have a long face, then a high-crowned hat will lengthen it even more. If you have a round face, a low-crowned hat will make your face appear wider.
The McKays also point out that knowing your face shape can influence how you wear your hat. If you have a long face, then wearing a fedora back and at an angle can expose more of your forehead, elongating your face even more. However, wearing it straightforward, just above the eyes keeps the face length in proportion.
If you have a round face, then wearing a hat straightforward can make your head look even smaller. Wearing it back or to the side exposes some of your forehead, creating the illusion of more length in your face.
Whatever your face shape, the McKays say the bottom line is symmetry. Observe how the hat dimensions work with the dimensions of your face and seek balance.
YOUR SHOPPING STRATEGY
Miller of The Missing Piece hat shops suggests bringing a friend, sibling or significant other with you to offer opinions when trying on hats. He says customers are usually more confident about purchasing a hat when a loved one comes with them and gives positive

feedback.
Knowing your size helps, too. Miller says you can find it by measuring the circumference of your head just above your ears. If you don't know your specific size, just make sure that the hat fits snugly, but not too tight, otherwise you won't want to wear it for long.
Stratton of Arizona Trading Company suggests trying on a variety of hats to find what
works best for you. "Sometimes a look just doesn't work for you either because of your face shape or the size of your head," she says. The more variety of styles and sizes you try on, the more likely you are to find a hat that works for you.
FIND YOUR FACE SHAPE
Jane Liddelow, professional image consultant, says that in order to know your hat type, you must first know your face type. Here's a quick run down of common face shapes and corresponding hat recommendations provided by Liddelow and Brett and Kate McKay, authors of The Art of Manliness:
Oblong - This face shape is long and narrow. The face is widest at the forehead and then tapers down to the chin. Look for hats with low crowns and wide brims to cut length.
BATTLE
-
Oval- An oval shape is very similar to oblong, except the forehead is narrower, so that the cheekbones are the widest part of the face. Because of the oval's natural symmetry and proportion, most hats look good on this face shape.
Round - This face shape looks just like it sounds. The chin tends to be smaller with no clearly defined jaw line. Try high crowns, medium brims and asymmetrical styles to give the illusion of length.
Square - The square face is similar to the round, but with a clearly defined, square jaw line and hairline. Find hats with round crowns and wider brims to avoid a boxy appearance.
Heart - Heart-shaped faces are similar to round and square face shapes, except with the defining features of a narrow chin and a widow's peak hairline. Heart shapes also look good in most styles, just so long as the brim is not too wide. Otherwise the chin will appear too narrow.

GET SOME CULTURE // UFO REYKAWVIK SUMMIT

"This is real," Daniel Lauing says over and over as we sit in the Union discussing the upcoming UFO Reyhawkvik Summit at Liberty Hall. Our interview is a blur of abduction stories and extra-terrestrial encounters.
Lauing is a KU alumnus and lead organizer of the summit. The event, composed of lectures on March 18, 19 and 20, is, according to Lauing, not about entertainment, but education.
The summit is a personal victory for Lauing, who attempted to host a UFO event at KU, only to be rejected — not that he was surprised. He calls this "censorship."

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // RUNNING FORM
> In case of emergency, read quickly.
You're not a professional runner. You've never run track or cross-country. Yet you find yourself on a treadmill at the Rec, sneaking peeks at the runners next to you, trying to copy their form.
Madison Oller, Eudora freshman, who has run 5Ks and 10Ks and runs at the Ambler Student Recreational Center three times a week, admits, "I probably don't have the best form."
Professional runner Mike Sayenko of Seattle says that whether you run for competition, fun or fitness, proper running form is essential. "Imagine doing something wrong thousands of times over and over — you're probably going to get hurt," Sayenko says.

Photo by Jennifer DiDonato Run relaxed: Running with proper form allows you to save energy and run faster.
"Also, you're more efficient with proper form. You'll run faster because you're saving energy."
Here's what Sayenko says you need to know about proper running form:
Stay Relaxed. Running with a stiff neck and shoulders can occur when you start getting tired. The tension can slow you down during your run and cause pain afterward.
Keep your knees, heels and toes up. Otherwise, your strides get smaller and you start to slow down. The less amount of ground contact your feet have, the faster you run.
Stay aligned. A common mistake is swinging your hands across your body, which wastes energy. Instead, run as straight as possible. Keep your arms and legs aligned with your body. Your elbows should be bent at about 90 degrees and your hands should be relaxed as you swing them from your hip to your heart.

Who knows? Next time you run, you may find some aspiring runners sneaking peeks at you.

When the Jayhawks entered their locker room for practice Tuesday, there was a Sports Illustrated posted in each of their lockers. It wasn't the 2011 tournament preview, which in the Midwest will feature Marcus Morris on the cover. It was from last year, with a diminutive Northern Iowa guard named Ali Farokkmanesh letting out an ecstatic yell after hitting an infamous three.
"One of my coaches asked me if we should remind our guys and I said, "Yeah, remind them," coach Bill Self said. "I'm sure they all read that."
Coach Bill Self argues with a referee about a call in the first half Thursday. Kansas will play its first NCAA tournament game Friday at 5:50 p.m. in Tulsa, Okla.

NCAA Tournament tips to ensure a successful bracket
If you don't plan on filling out an NCAA tournament bracket, read no further. For the other 99 percent of the population, here are some tips for winning some cash.
Go ahead and put Kansas in the Final Four. Not that many Jayhawk fans needed the extra support, but Kansas' path to the Final Four in Houston is the easiest of the four No.1 seeds.
At least one double-digit seed makes the Sweet 16 every year. This year, look for these teams to possibly achieve the feat:
- 12th seed Richmond, the Spiders won 27 games, captured the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship, and get a favorable matchup against Vanderbilt in the first round.
12th seed Utah State — The Aggies were under-seeded here at 12. Many bracket projections had them as an 8 or 9 seed, so beating Kansas State shouldn't shock anyone.
BY KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
- 13th seed Belmont — The Bruins are an experienced team with 30 wins on the year. And with playing Wisconsin in the first round — whose slow tempo would make James Naismith proud — an early Belmont lead would make a Wisconsin comeback tough.
Bracket competitors should also be bary of Duke. Last year's champion is a No. 1 seed once again, but they landed in the West bracket this year, with regionals played in Anaheim, California. A potential Sweet 16 matchup with Arizona or Texas won't be fun, as either team
1
could take down the Blue Devils. If they advance to the regional final, they face a potential road game with 2-seed San Diego State, whose campus is just a short drive down I-5 from Anaheim.
Jump off the limmer bandwagon. BYU's All-American Jimmers Fredrete has wowed audiences all season, getting 28 points per game. However, since the season-ending suspension to forward Brandon Davies two weeks ago, BYU has been blown out by New Mexico, struggled to beat TCU, and lost handily to San Diego State. The Cougars were given a 3-seed, but St. Johns should take care of them in the second round.
Don't put all four No. 1 seeds in the Final Four. It's only happened once — in 2008 — and it won't happen this year. Kansas and Ohio State should make the trip to Houston, but Pittsburgh and Duke won't survive their regionals.

MANUAL
DOING WITHOUT // MAKEUP
Hand
> Absence makes the heart grow ... ?
We wear it nearly everyday. Sometimes we think we can't leave the house without it. Ladies, I'm talking about mascara, foundation, bronzer and all of that other fun stuff we call makeup.
I usually keep my makeup simple; a little concealer under my eyes, some blush, lip balm and I'm good to go. But I wanted to see what it'd be like without makeup for five days.
Monday: I woke up to get ready for class at my normal time, but after finishing my new "no makeup" routine, I realized I had about 10 extra minutes on my hands.
Tuesday: After staying up too late the night before, I looked like a zombie. However, I wasn't

hungry for human flesh, just some blush to help perk up my pale face.
Wednesday: Someone says, "You look tired." Isn't that code for, "You look terrible; please go away before people think we're friends?"
Thursday: I've embraced my makeup free face. I figured I can't look that bad considering no one runs in the opposite direction when they see me.
Friday: My last makeup free day and I wondered why I even bother to wear it at all. Besides a few comments, I don't think people really noticed or cared that I wasn't wearing eyeliner to my art history class.
Joey Sprague, a KU sociology professor, says makeup can sometimes be "a trap."
"We have to ask ourselves what we enjoy about it," Sprague says. "Makeup works, but it also doesn't work."
Ladies, try going a few days without makeup and embrace your natural beauty. Plus you'll get to sleep in a few extra minutes each morning.

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // OPENING A > In case of emergency, read quickly. WINE BOTTLE
A bottle of wine can make an ordinary dinner more romantic, or give a Saturday night more sophistication. But what happens when you've got the wine but no corkscrew?
Curtis O'Hearn has been in this situation twice. The Wichita senior tried to open the wine bottle by breaking it's neck over a concrete stair. "The first time I did it this way it worked perfectly," O'Hearn says. "But the other time failed miserably and the bottle shattered halfway down."

an employee at On the Rocks liquor store, 1818 Massachusetts St.:
Coat Hanger Technique:
"Everyone has a wire coat hanger in their closet," Futrelle says. "It's perfect for making your own cheap cork screw."
Straighten out a wire coat hanger. Then, with the help of pliers, twist it around a screwdriver shaft until it forms a coil shape. Using your new "corkscrew," screw it into the cork as you normally would. Pull out the cork slowly.
Screw and Hammer Technique:
Using a long screw with deep grooves, twist it into the cork until it's embedded about half an inch. Take a hammer, and with the nail-pull end, pry the cork out of the bottle.
"Another technique that I've heard of using is to use an actual screw to remove the cork," Futrelle says. "You have to be careful though, because the screw could become stuck."
With these tips, hopefully you'll avoid broken glass, spilled wine or worst of all, an un-smooth moment in front of your friends.

STYLE REVIEW // BLAZERS
> Get it while it's haute.
Spring is almost upon us, and as the winter months come to an end, an annual ritual occurs in bedrooms across America: warm, winter staples are put into the closet to make way for light, airy attire. Ski coats and fleece are the most obvious items that will be stowed away. Boots and sweatshirts won't be too far behind them.
While you more than likely won't use those items during the sunny months, you should seriously consider transitioning a piece of so-called "winter" clothing to spring — the blazer. This item, consistently used to dress up an otherwise casual outfit, or used as a chic alternative to sweaters and fleeces, usually gets stuffed away in the winter bin.
Not so fast, though. Beige and white blazers can easily pass back and forth between the seasons, but black sometimes gets the boot prematurely. Instead of waiting another six months to wear it, keep it around. A blazer can easily spruce up a t-shirt and shorts combo (casual or formal) and can add an elegant touch to white, brightly-colored or floral print dresses.
Contributed Photo Perfect for all seasons: A blazer can class up a casual outfit in the winter and summer.
The combinations of looks that one can create with blazers are virtually endless.

MUSIC REVIEW // MYSTIC ROOTS BAND - 'CALI-Hi
(STAY POSITIVE PRODUCTIONS)
> KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption.
The Mystic Roots Band is a hardworking and hard-partying reggae band from northern California that recently released a new album called Cali-HI. MRB is led by a man named Cootdog who tries to spread his message of loving life, how amazing Cali is and avoiding most illegal substances.
According to Cootdog in his track "Lifestyle, ever since birth he was "given ambition plus the gift of spittin" and uses this combo to tour extensively in California and release albums to spread his message. MRB created their own label called Stay Positive Productions to release their own albums and merchandise. This allows the band to do their own promoting and also gives them full power over releasing songs exactly how and when they want to release them.
The sound that they create fits in well with other California reggae acts like Slightly Stoopid and Sublime, although they are not quite as immediately exciting.
Mystic Roots
EAGLE HEAD
Several great tracks are on this album. One
song called "Work 2 Dub" includes MLK and Obama samples and a relentless groove. The track "$100 Bag" is one of the fastest songs on the album and proudly talks about the "economic benefits" of selling weed. One truly roots-reggae track, "Blessings," features Pato Banton, who drops a sweet verse at the end of it. However, the best songs on this album all feature Zion Thompson. His love song, "Something About A Girl," will make you remember why reggae is for lovers not fighters.

Jayhawks focus on staying loose, yet remaining serious

When the Jayhawks entered their locker room for practice Tuesday, there was a Sports Illustrated posted in each of their lockers. It wasn't the 2011 tournament preview, which in the Midwest will feature Marcus Morris on the cover. It was from last year, with a diminutive Northern Iowa guard named Ali Farokhmaneh letting out an ecstatic yell after hitting an infamous three.

NCAA Tournament tips to ensure a successful bracket
If you don't plan on filling out an NCAA tournament bracket, read no further. For the other 99 percent of the population, here are some tips for winning some cash.
Go ahead and put Kansas in the Final Four. Not that many Jayhawk fans needed the extra support, but Kansas' path to the Final Four in Houston is the easiest of the four No.1 seeds.
At least one double-digit seed makes the Sweet 16 every year. This year, look for these teams to possibly achieve the feat:
- 12th seed Richmond, the Spiders won 27 games, captured the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship, and get a favorable matchup against Vanderbilt in the first round.
- 12th seed Utah State — The Aggies were under-seeded here at 12. Many bracket projections had them as an 8 or 9 seed, so beating Kansas State shouldn't shock anyone.
Bracket competitors should also be wary of Duke. Last year's champion is a No. 1 seed once again, but they landed in the West bracket this year, with regionals played in Anaheim, California. A potential Sweet 16 match with Arizona or Texas won't be fun, as either team

could take down the Blue Devils. If they advance to the regional final, they face a potential road game with 2-seed San Diego State, whose campus is just a short drive down 1-5 from Anaheim.
GARRETT
- 13th seed Belmont — The Bruins are an experienced team with 30 wins on the year. And with playing Wisconsin in the first round — whose slow tempo would make James Naismith proud — an early Belmont lead would make a Wisconsin comeback tough.
1
Bump off the Limmer bandwagon. BYU's All-American Jimmer Fredette has wowed audiences all season, getting 28 points per game. However, since the season-ending suspension to forward Brandon Davies two weeks ago, BYU has been blown out by New Mexico, struggled to beat TCU, and lost handily to San Diego State. The Cougars were given a 3-seed, but St. Johns should take care of them in the second round
Don't put all four No. 1 seeds in the Final Four. It's only happened once — in 2008 — and it won't happen this year. Kansas and Ohio State should make the trip to Houston, but Pittsburgh and Duke won't survive their regionals.

In between bagpipes and drums, the St. Patrick's Day Parade also had some pop this year.
Raising awareness, student volunteers for the Jayhawk Buddy System performed a flash mob dance routine to Taio Cruz's "Dynamite" at several locations along the parade route Thursday afternoon.
about 15 dancers, all wearing green Jayhawk Buddy System T-shirts, came out of the audience and took to the street for the routine.
Shannon Foster, a sophomore from Overland Park, said she volunteered to dance after the president of her sorority urged members to do so.

The Kansas Arts Budget is safe for now, after a 24-13 vote to reject Gov. Sam Browback's move to cut the $575,000 arts budget. A large proportion of which goes to Lawrence groups such as the Lawrence Community Theatre, Lawrence Arts Center and the Lied Center, among others.
No cut for Kansas Arts Commission
The money that goes to the Lied Center is used for educational programs. If the funding was cut, many of the programs would have gone as well.
"We still don't know how much funding we will receive," said Karen Christies, associate director at the Lied Center. "But we're very thankful that the Kansas Arts Commission was taken off the table."
"We have applied for grants and we are still looking for other options," said Anthea Schouffas, director of education at the Lied Center.
Some money will still be allotted for the arts in next year's budget, but there is no guarantee on how much or how long the funding will last.
This vote shows a strong community backing of arts in Kansas.
"We feel the arts are a part of being a human being." Schouffas said."Arts and athletics are the only things that make school bearable for some kids."

As concerns grow about Japan's leaking nuclear power plant, the University of Kansas announced today that it required 10 students studying there to return home.
University officials made the decision after the U.S. State Department issued a travel warning late Wednesday. The State Department "strongly urges" Americans to defer travel to Japan and recommends those in Japan to consider dearting.

Last Friday's destructive earthquake and the resulting tsunami devastated large areas of northeast Japan and severely damaged nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. More than 10,000 people are believed to be dead as a result of the twin disasters.
Nine of the 10 students are in Tokyo, more than 150 miles south of the damaged nuclear plant. The tenth student is even farther

Kansas officials offer safety tips, advice
BY ADAM STRUNK
astrunk@kansan.com
The Kansas attorney general's office and KU officials are warning students staying in Lawrence during spring break to take precautions to avoid becoming a victim of sexual assault.
During the last 10 years, five women in the Lawrence area and eight women in the Manhattan area have been sexually assaulted during school breaks with the last assault occurring in December 2008. In a press release Thursday the Kansas Attorney General's office stated that law enforcement had announced a connection between the sexual assaults.
"In the past, we have seen increases in crime surrounding universitybreaks," Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said in the press release. "We encourage students and community members to be especially alert and report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement."
The advice given by KU Public Safety Capt. Schuyler Bailey echoed the Schmidt's statement.
" B e i n g aware is number one," Bailey said. "That's regardless of if
of the folks are gone over break," he said. "We know that that's a time when folks who have bad intentions take advantage of the lax level of attention. What we have learned from past experience is that folks that enter apartments do some surveillance and look for opportunities to get in a door or a window."
DeSalvo said that following simple steps such as locking doors or windows, noticing and calling police if an apartment is disturbed or just keeping connected with others could help protect students from sexual assault.
"The best way to avoid all of this is to remain connected with somebody even if it's not your particular group," he said.
While community members are concerned about the possibility of a serial rapist Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said that 75 to 90 percent of sexual assaults were committed not by

Bailey said if a student did see something out of place then it would be important to act and call the police.

"In apartment complexes a lot

"While it's critically important that we are concerned about the serial rapist in Lawrence, it's important
to point out that the majority of rapes occur between people that know each other and for that reason students should be informed on some of the ways they can increase their safety in relationships and in social settings."
Rose-Mockry said students could become better informed by attending sexual assault awareness week events coming in April and by utilizing campus services.

Minor in possession tickets were up 42 percent last year, and operating under the influence charges increased by 14 percent. The Lawrence Police Department participated in multiple campaigns last year to control illegal alcohol use, including a New Year's Eve
saturation patrol and the "Over the Limit, Under Arrest" campaign in September.
Annual gross court revenue from all crimes increased by 14 percent from 2009 to 2010.

University calls for return of students studying in Japan
INTERNATIONAL
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com
As concerns grow about Japan's leaking nuclear power plant, the University of Kansas announced today that it required 10 students studying there to return home.
University officials made the decision after the U.S. State Department issued a travel warning late Wednesday. The State Department "strongly urges" Americans to defer travel to Japan and recommends those in Japan to consider departing.
The University does not permit study abroad programs to operate in countries where travel warnings have been issued.
Relations. "If the State Department doesn't think it's a good idea for people to be traveling there, then we need them to come home."
Last Friday's destructive earthquake and the resulting tsunami devastated large areas of northeast Japan and severely damaged nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. More than 10,000 people are believed to be dead as a result of the twin disasters.
Nine of the 10 students are in Tokyo, more than 150 miles south of the damaged nuclear plant. The tenth student is even farther

"We want to make sure we don't take any risks with the safety of our students," said Jill Jess, a spokeswoman for University
KU professor and nuclear physicist Michael Murray said Tokyo residents weren't in immediate danger, but that it was the job of the University to err on the side of caution. He said a possible fire at the plant posed the largest threat.
Senior State Department official Patrick Kennedy said Wednesday that chartered planes would be brought in to help private American citizens wishing to leave, according to the Associated Press.
away in southern Japan. The Office of Study Abroad notified the students and said it would help them with travel arrangements, including financial assistance.
"It's going to take something like that to endanger Tokyo," he said. "If the wind is blowing in the right direction it could bring some
radiation into Tokyo."
"We actually have some who will be getting on planes today," Jess said yesterday.

Kansas officials offer safety tips, advice
BY ADAM STRUNK
astrunk@kansan.com
The Kansas attorney general's office and KU officials are warning students staying in Lawrence during spring break to take precautions to avoid becoming a victim of sexual assault.
During the last 10 years, five women in the Lawrence area and eight women in the Manhattan area have been sexually assaulted during school breaks with the last assault occurring in December 2008. In a press release Thursday the Kansas Attorney General's office stated that law enforcement had announced a connection between the sexual assaults.
"In the past, we have seen increases in crime surrounding universitybreaks," Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said in the press release. "We encourage students and community members to be especially alert and report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement."
"B e i n g aware is number one," Bailey said. "That's regardless of if

your traveling or staying here in Lawrence or visiting family or friends. That's always the first step in protecting yourself"
DeSalvo said that following simple steps such as locking doors or windows, noticing and calling police if an apartment is disturbed or just keeping connected with others could help protect students from sexual assault.
"The best way to avoid all of this is to remain connected with somebody even if it's not your particular group," he said.
Bailey said if a student did see something out of place then it would be important to act and call the police.
Francis DeSalvo, associate vice provost for student success, said students, especially those staying behind in apartment complexes, need to be on increased alert during spring break.
"In apartment complexes a lot

Change may provoke strong emotions. Let go of that tense mood and blow off some steam. Go dancing or find another way to move your body and quiet your mind.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 5
Change can provoke strong emotions. Don't get stuck thinking that how it was in the past is how it will be always. You can always create yourself anew.
Change in the financial arena could cause some turmoil. Stressing will only cost you health and vitality. Roll with it, and look for the hidden gold.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6
It may seem nerve-wracking.
Despite resistance to change, it comes anyway. What you resist persists. Let go for freedom. Let go for your health and well-being.
Feather your nest today. Give away things that you're no longer using to create new space. The more space you have, the more you can grow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

I love how everyone's crazy side comes out on FFA during midterms. Everyone all hopped up on Adderall and caffeine. Everyone's losing their minds.
I agree. Also, us somewhat-nerdy guys rarely treat girls badly. Chivalry is NOT dead, I say!
I'm going to take a women's studies course, so I can understand the inner workings of the female mind.
My Internet kept kicking me off Facebook all day. I think the universe was trying to get me to study ... So I took a nap instead!
My roommate asks me some of the stupidest questions ever. With the questions she asks me, I have no idea how she has made it this far on her own.
I love spring. It's when women decide to let their legs come out of hibernation.
So typical ... The weather is great during midterms week when I'm stuck inside, but is probably going to be terrible during spring break. Damn you Mother Nature.

EDITORIAL
It is an understatement to say that University of Kansas fans love basketball. Basketball beats through the crimson and blood of Jayhawk fans. We live for the spine-shaking dunks, the miracle three-pointers and the final-buzzer ally-oops. It unites us. It gives us pride. For Kansas fans, basketball is more than a game. It's a culture. Some might even consider it a religion. We invest our time, money, energy and emotions into watching our boys in blue dominate the wooden floor.
Naturally, emotions are especially heightened during the tournament. Every year we count on our team to not only make the NCAA tournament (which for many teams is an
accomplishment in itself), we expect to be seeded very highly and go very far. Most years, we expect our beloved boys in blue to at least make it to the Final Four and/or win the National Championship. And we are very disappointed when the season ends otherwise.
Which isn't totally preposterous, considering the history of our program prompts this assurance (unlike Kansas State and Missouri). We are the university where the inventor himself coached and Wilt Chamberlain once played. We have the second most victories in the history of NCAA basketball. It's perfectly understandable to expect a lot from our team.
Any true Kansan has experienced

firsthand the real meaning of March Madness, from both sides of the spectrum. We've seen miracles go for and against us. We've won it all and we've blown it in the first round.
But this year, despite the outcome, it is crucial that fans stay positive throughout the tournament and continue to take pride in our team. Focus on the achievements of the season Remember how far the team has come, as players and as men, through tragedy and through triumph.
As Jayhawks spread across the country for spring break, let's show the country how classy and respectful our fan base truly is.
It is said that the wise prepare for the worst. With that said, if we lose,
And if when we win, celebrate with class. Be respectful and be smart. The last thing the team wants is for a fan to get hurt from careless celebration.
Continue to be the greatest fan base in the nation. Have fun. Enjoy the madness.

MUSIC
Don't overlook Kanye's very own Sleepy Hollow
Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" was the best album of 2010. That's good, fantastic. Why it's the best album is not my concern; there's more than enough coverage offering generally the same reason: He's a mad scientist. What hasn't received attention, however, is why the 14-time Grammy winner has a fish stick for early 19th century literature.
PETER LENNON
BY MATTHEW MARSAGLIA
mmarsagliajkansan.com
Among the numerous pop culture icons culled from Kanye's cortex and laced within Fantasy's neurotic narrative: Alec Baldwin, South Park, Family Matters, American Apparel and President Obama. Of all the references, however, only one is mentioned twice.
In Pitchfork's review, the popular music site keyed in on Kanye's allusions to Michael Jackson over the years, pointing out references in "Slow Jamz," post-Today Show tweets, and Fantasy's fourth song, "All of the Lights." Despite Pitchfork's ambitious review, however, West's latent penchant for a Washington Irving story mentioned in both the titular track and later by Rick Ross in "Runaway" (as well as in "Livin' in a Movie," a track kept off Late Registration) is never addressed.
Perhaps there are reasons why outlets haven't given this much consideration. Perhaps it's just a coincidence, and there is no significance. After all, on both occasions, the nods to "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" appear to contribute nothing more than re-establishing bravado, a perception generally understood about Kanye well before the album's release.
Fantasy is such an integral album that I can't imagine 'ye lacking the cleverness, or the effort, to allow two references if they didn't add anything beyond bravado. In fact, after a closer reading of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," numerous connections between Irving's short story and West are noticeable.
Nonetheless, I can't capitate to coincidence.
I can't because that's the way the College of Liberal Arts has wired my brain to think, and it seems too important to ignore. Its inclusion means "Sleepy Hollow" is in his immediate cultural lexicon and possibly contributes to the album's concept.
For instance, hypergamy is central in both "Sleepy Hollow" and West's repertoire. From his Twitter battle with Lily Allen, to "Gold Digger," to his philosophy on phoniness in
"Devil in a New Dress," West has been preoccupied over the years with the same financial outlook Crane approaches Katrina Van Tassel with. Also, both West and Crane use music cathartically.
When Crane hears the "dreary hooting of the screech-owl, or the sudden rustling in the thicket of birds frightened from their roots" during his walk home, "[Crane's] only resource is to sing psalm tunes, the good people of Sleepy Hollow ... filled with awe at hearing his melody." Similarly, West uses his music to reflect on his mother's death, his ugly breakups and the ongoing battle between his ego and self-loathing.
Lastly, the town of Sleepy Hollow and Fantasy's theme share a gothic tone. In Irving's opening paragraphs, Sleepy Hollow is described as a town that values telling ghost stories, and as having a "drowsy, dreamy influence ... pervad[ing] the very atmosphere."
Nicki Minaj sets a similar tone with her opening verse on the album's lead-off track, "Dark Fantasy," a reworked Roald Dahl poem that revisits "Cinderella." Moreover, Irving constructs Sleepy Hollow as a storyteller's escape: "If ever I should wish for a retreat, whither I might steal from the world and its distractions ... I know of none more promising than this little valley."
After Kanye's gaffe at the MTV Music Awards, he abscended to Hawaii to record Fantasy, only to reappear months later in Silicon Valley. Coincidentally, though never explained, the reader is led to believe that like West, Crane arrived to Sleepy Hollow after leaving Connecticut under questionable circumstances.
Whether these arguments hold any weight, I'm still unsure. Nonetheless, I can only speculate and hope West will explain his lit' love soon.

COMMENTARY
Eating meat may be bad, but please don't yell at me
When an animal rights activist says "Meat is murder!" or something similar, I always wonder what they think I'm thinking. I guess they're hoping I'll think "Hey, this guy is calling me a murderer! This really makes me want to listen to him!" But, like almost everyone, I do not enjoy being criticized so intensely and especially not by an organization as laughably incompetent as PETA.
PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, was founded in the early 1980s and has spent most of the time since then making sure no one takes them seriously.
In defense of PETA, they actually do a lot of good work. They fight against fur farming, animal testing, cock fighting and dog fighting, as well as tracking down cases of animal cruelty, something that is not exactly a high priority for law enforcement agencies. Then they make si re they squander any good-will they have through a variety of ill-conceived press stunts.
I guess this is all a roundabout way of saying that I love it when animal rights activists yell at me.
When Obama first took office, he killed a fly in the middle of an interview. Except for his "Karate Kid" esque fly-killing skills, there was nothing notable about the incident until PETA posted a blog entry saying "[Our] position is this: He isn't the Buddha, he's a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act." Ignoring the convoluted sentence structure, I think we can all get behind killing flies. There are literally billions of them and they are universally hated.
Like most Americans, I enjoy eating meat. I enjoy barbecue, turkey sandwiches and if I'm feeling particularly adventurous, hot dogs. That said, I don't eat meat all the time, and it doesn't make up a significant portion of my diet (that honor would belong to Ramen Noodles). Being a broke college student, I haven't had a steak in a long time, but who among us can resist the siren song of chicken wings and hamburgers?

I don't hate animal rights activists, and I don't hate vegetarians or vegans. I know plenty of people in both categories who are perfectly good, decent, caring people. I have a problem with the minority of people who think the best way to win an argument is to act as arrogant and antagonistic as possible. If organizations like PETA and the people who support them want to be taken seriously, they need to ratchet down the rhetoric and present their issues in a way that will earn them more consideration than a spot in Conan O'Brien's monologue.
Another genius press stunt of theirs was a letter sent to the owners of Ben & Jerry's asking them to use breast milk in their ice cream in place of cow's milk. This was, of course, met with a collective rolling of the eyes. If PETA's intention was to make sure no one took the idea of replacing cow's milk seriously, then congratulations! Mission accomplished.

Jayhawk pride isn't just skin deep
BY MIKE LAVIERI
milavieri@kansan.com
Kansas' run to the Final Four starts tonight and if the Jayhawks win it all, one Jayhawk fan might add to her already recognizable tattoo.
It all started in 2000 when Kat "KU Tatt Kat"
Steward was inked up for the first time.
Steward said her family members rolled their eyes like any parents would when their child gets a tattoo, but since that first tattoo, she has added eight more with her tattoo on her upperback being the most recognizable. "The tattoo that spans her entire upper back, from shoulder to shoulder, is commemorative of Kansas basketball."
"I started that one in early 2007."
Steward said. "It took a lot of time planning that one. It took about two months with sessions."
Steward said that the main part took about 15 hours and five or six sessions, but said she was doing a couple touch up pieces on some of her other tattoos. She said she had the main part done by the time ESPN College GameDay came to Lawrence for Kansas matchup with Kansas State in 2008.
The original tattoo caught the attention of GameDay's host Reeves Davis and analyst Digger Phelpsat The Wheel. The producer told Steward to come early to get it on TV, but Steward wasn't early enough.
However, she has since had the opportunity to be on ESPN a few times, but that was after she added the '2008 National Champions' banner to the top.
"When I originally designed this I never planned on adding more to it," Steward said.
"As it kind of got toward looking like we might win it all, I talked to my artist and I said, I need an appointment just in case I want to add a banner."
The banner was added two weeks after the Jayhawks cut down the nets in San Antonio.
She said adding the banner was the most painful part because it is at the top of the spine, but said the rest of the tattoo wasn't as bad. Her tattoo on the inside of her upper arm is the most painful tattoo that she has gotten.
Steward didn't graduate from Kansas; she actually graduated from Wichita State with a degree in criminal justice, but since her dad introduced her to basketball, specifically to Kansas, she has loved them.
If the Jayhawks do end up cutting the nets down in Houston, Steward doesn't know if she will add on to her tattoo. If one of the players wants to get tattooed with her at the same time she might, but she doesn't see that happening.
"I honestly don't know. I've thought about it, maybe I would, maybe I wouldn't, but I don't want or plan to keep adding should they win more." Steward said.

Kansas cuts funds for mental health
Of the mental health budget cuts in the United States, Kansas had the seventh highest percentage of funding cut. From 2009 to 2011, the budget decreased by
$18.9 million. In contrast, Missouri has the highest percentage of funding added, an increase of $16.5 million. Though Kansas has a much smaller budget, the number of patients seeking mental health services is significantly higher than in Missouri.

Pakistan condemns U.S. missile strike
ISLAMABAD — One day after a CIA contractor was cleared of a double murder charge, Pakistan and U.S. relations were put into a new crisis over a CIA-directed drone missile strike that Pakistan said killed at least
36 civilians.
Pakistan's military and civilian leadership condemned the strike in harsh language, demanding compensation for the victims and an apology.
Pakistani Army Chief Gen. Ashfag Kayani called the attack a "violation of human rights."

And sometimes, the decisive basket is the result of an enormous amount of luck.
The play that Butler used to beat Old Dominion 60-58 on Thursday fell squarely into the latter category. Afterward, the Bulldogs made no apologies — especially because their previous foray into the NCAA tournament ended when a last-second shot failed to no their way.
Matt Howard's tip-in at the buzzer carried the eighth-seeded Bulldogs past ODU and into the next round of the Southeast Regional. The play was not what Butler coach Brad Stevens had in mind when he sent his team to the floor with the score tied and 32 seconds left.

The Enclave at Mission Cliffs Townhomes, conveniently located just six blocks west of the University of Kansas Medical Center, offer new luxury living at rental pricing.
Prospective buyers have the luxury of choosing from multiple styles of residences sized at 1,407 and 1,885 square feet.
"Mission Cliffs was the perfect location for me," said Susan Yang, a student at KU Medical Center. "It's just a 10 minute walk to school, is within two miles of the Plaza and Westport, and four miles from downtown, grocery stores or Target."
"I knew I wanted to purchase a home as an investment, instead of throwing away money on rent," said Yang. "I am very happy in my townhouse and I plan on living here throughout medical school and possibly residency."

Blau moved in last June, and said it's great to be living in the community again, especially because of the prime location.

Jayhawks fueled by wins but still focused for weekend
SOCIAL SECURITY
Chris Bronson/KANSAM
Freshman infielder Ashley Newman prepares to throw to first base during drills at practice at the football practice field. The softball team is continuing to focus on fundamentals.
BY HANNAH WISI hwise@kansan.com
it takes 21 outs to win a softball game. How a team goes about getting those outs varies from team to team. The Jayhawks have had a continuous focus on fundamentals throughout the first five weeks of the season, giving them a 21-3 record.
Smith said that Georgia Tech was a very strong team that was ranked in the top 15 last year and returned its strongest players. Lipscomb has one of the best pitchers in its region who took them to a regional last year and Coastal Carolina is a very strong team as well, she said.
The Jayhawks had their first day of practice on their home outdoor field Tuesday after weeks of traveling to Lawrence Free State High School and practicing indoors in Anschutz Pavilion.
This weekend, the team will face some very tough competition in preparation for Big 12 play, which opens next week at home against Missouri. Before that, however, the team will first play in the Central Carolina Chanticleer Challenge in Conway, S.C. It will play Lipscomb, Providence, Georgia Tech and Coastal Carolina.
"Every weekend we've played, we have faced one or two teams that are Big 12 caliber teams," coach Megan Smith said. "This weekend is the same."
"The excitement of being on our home field was incredible," said sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull.
"We sometimes take our field for granted before we come back. Our batting area and our warm up area is one of the nicest that I have ever been to. Just being able to have dirt field and grass was great."
手麻筋
It was an exciting week at home after going 4-0 in the University of North Florida tournament, but the team is buckled down and back to work on their fundamentals and fixing the errors from the weekend.
"We are really excited but we are still focusing on one game at a time," said senior pitcher Allie Clark. "Coach Smith always tries to say, 'One pitch at a time. One out at a time. One game at a time.'"
It will not be an easy road. The team has been putting up 10 runs against teams for the last five weeks, but that may just not be the case against tougher pitchers. This weekend, it's going to come down to strategic pitching, strong defensive communication translating into outs and the ability to adjust the offense to the different styles of pitching.
The team worked on communication and their short game this week in practice. The offense looked at attack screw ball pitches as well because the level of pitching is going to be a step up from what they have seen.
Ultimately, the five games played in South Carolina will be an opportunity for the relatively young Jayhawks to show that they can fight against competition and come out on top.

Kansas gets fresh start with conference play
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The layhawks kick off conference play at Hoglund Ballpark Friday at 3 p.m. against the red hot Oklahoma State Cowboys. Conference play will provide an opportunity for the layhawks to wipe the slate clean, after going 7-9 to open their season.
"The reality is the Big 12 season starts an entirely different part of the year," coach Ritch Price said. "For the guys that are off to a bad start, it will give them a mental break, and give them a fresh start."
The Jayhawks won't be easing into conference play by any means; they open up against a Cowboys team that has won seven straight and has a record of 13-3.
The bats for Kansas will have the daunting task of taking on one of the best pitching staffs in the nation this weekend.
The Jayhawks are no stranger to facing tough pitching though. In non-conference play, the Jayhawks faced three top 25 teams, TCU, Arizona State, and Arkansas all
"We faced Heaney last year, and I thought he was one of the best pitchers in our league," Price said. "He has tremendous upside."
The Cowboys have a team ERA of 2.03, including starting sophomore Andrew Heaney, who has an ERA of 0.91 in four starts.
on the road.
"I think our non-conference schedule could really help us out," sophomore Jake Marasco said. "It prepared us to face arms in our conference that we'll have to face every weekend."
The Jayhawks have had strong performances on the mount as well this season, with a team ERA currently at 3.44.
The layhawks' pitching arsenal includes three strong starters, that will be starting on the mound this weekend, in senior TJ, Walz and sophomore Tanner Poppe. Coach Price said he and the coaching staff were unsure of whether they will start freshman Alex Cox or senior Wally Marciel.
While the pitching has been strong, the bats really struggled to open season. Fortunately for the Jayhawks, the bats have slowly but surely been improving all season. The numbers are up from .198 only a week ago, to .220 heading into this weekend.
Ultimately, this weekend brings a chance at a fresh start for the Jayhawks, who feel they can make up for their underwhelming non-conference performance.
"Hopefully we can build off of the progress we've made, and hopefully get of to a good start in the Big 12." Price said. "The Big 12 is what it's all really about."

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
As crazy as the first day of the tournament was — seriously, Morehead State? — it still seems a little unreasonable to think a 16 seed has anything resembling a shot at pulling the upset. Kansas will win, and by double-figures. This is the kind of game where it's best to look for trends in the Jayhawk offense. Look to see if Tyrel Reed can find his shot, and if not, then whether someone else steps up on the perimeter. See how Bill Self handles the point guard position (more on that later). And keep an eye on the Morris twins, more because it's fun to watch that caliber of a player than anything regarding the rest of the tournament.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Junior forward Marcus Morrie
I haven't put Morris in this spot yet, because it's kind of the easy way out. Morris will get his points, and get around seven rebounds, and that's sort of the way he'll do it every game. But if you take some time to really watch Morris, it's not so much the numbers he
Mc. Morris
puts up as the way he does it. He can score from anywhere this side of half-court, and he'll abuse whatever matchup he gets in whatever is the most
efficient way to do it. If he's got a forward guarding him, watch him stretch the floor. If a guard tries to stop him — such as Boston's John Holland — then Morris will take him inside and use his ridiculous array of post moves to get a bucket. There's a reason he's an All-American. Watch and enjoy.
How will Bill Self handle the point guards?
QUESTION MARK
This is the biggest question regarding the Jayahkwks as they enter March. Tyshawn Taylor is and will remain the starter, barring injury, but Elijah Johnson and Josh Selby will get minutes in the backcourt as well. The question is how those minutes will be split. Selby has more offensive talent, and if he's allowed to freestyle on the offensive half, he could be a dangerous threat for Kansas, despite his uninspiring numbers from the regular season. Johnson works better in the offense as a true point guard, and he's the best point defender Kansas has. Today's game may provide some indicator of how those minutes will play out for the rest of the season.
HEARYE, HEARYE
"There were some clippings in our locker of Farokhmaneh pumping his fists, or what not, after he hit a big time shot against us. All credit to him. He knocked down a shot that was probably the biggest day of his career. It's a little reminder of if you don't show up, you're going to go home. No one wants that."

Tyshawn Taylor,guard
It should have been known all along that Self would go back to his bread and butter with Taylor at the point. Taylor's been starting since his freshman year, and self knows that it takes experience to win in March. As solid as Elijah Johnson was, Taylor's the best option for Kansas at the point, and Self's mind games have him peaking at the right time.
T. P. BALKAN
Reed
MARK BENNETT
★★★★☆
Tyrel Reed, guard
Morningstar
Reed's normally pure stroke was off during the Big 12 Tournament. It may have been a product of his lingering foot injury, or he may have just gone cold, which happens to the best of shooters. Either way, Kansas could use his range. Boston favors a zone defense, which is best broken by a strong presence on the outside. Reed is the Jayhawks' best weapon from three-point land.
Brady Morningstar, guard
★★★☆☆
Morningstar has settled comfortably into his role since winning his starting job back about halfway through the conference season. He's another dangerous perimeter threat for the Jayhawks, and Boston will have to key in on keeping him from breaking their zone from outside. With so many other threats on the Kansas roster, though, it doesn't seem likely that stopping Morningstar will be a priority.
Mc. Morris
Jayhawks face Terriers in first round
★★★☆☆
---
Marcus Morris, forward
It's hard to say anyone will be the singular difference maker in a game that is so clearly out of balance, but Boston — like a lot of teams in the country — doesn't have anyone who can hang with Marcus Morris, inside or out. Boston's John Holland is a guard that can play inside, like Kansas Travis Releford or Mario Little, but he doesn't have the ability to slow Marcus.
Mk. Morris

Let the games begin ...
★★★★
Markieff does three things notably better than his brother. He's a better rebounder, a better defender and a better three-point shooter. All three of those skills will be useful against the Terriers. He should be able to control the paint on both ends of the floor with his rebounding and defense, and his trailing threes will be devastating to the Boston zone.

21-13,(12-4) STARTERS
D.J. Irving, guard
Irving is the main ball handler and distributer. Of the 10 assists Boston averages per game, 3.6 come from Irving. He is one of three players that have at least a one-to-one assist to-turnover ratio. Boston will need to take care of the ball better or it will be a long game.

★★☆☆★
Darryl Partin,guard
If John Holland is Batman, then Partin is Robin. Partin is on the floor for nearly 32 minutes per game and averages 14.5 points per game. He averages 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. If Holland is off, Partin will need to be on. Of the 1,812 shots Boston took this season,914 came from Holland and Partin.

AT A GLANCE
Boston comes into the NCAA Tournament riding an 11-game winning streak. This is the seventh time the Terriers have made it to the tournament and the first time since 2002. Boston comes in with a 2-6 record, with its only two victories coming in 1959, when it advanced to the Regional Finals (now the Elite 8), before losing to the eventual runner-up, West Virginia 86-82. Boston's best seed was in 1997 when it was seeded 12th. It lost in the first round to Tulsa, but it has been a 16 seed three times, a 15 seed one time and lost in a play-in-game in 1983 when the highest seed was 12.

Holland will have Kansas' attention for all 40 minutes. He doesn't
M. KOJIMA

Holland
type like Colorado's Alec Burks. He won't be matched up against Kansas' bigs, so they won't be in foul trouble unless Holland drives by them and draws contact. Brady Morningstar will most likely defend him. Holland is averaging 19.2 points per game, 5.9 rebound per game and 1.6 assists per game. The problem for Holland is that he doesn't have the players around him to pull off the upset.
QUESTION MARK
Will the curse of the 'B' prevail over Kansas?
Considering that the last two schools that started with 'B' that saw Kansas in the first round: Bradley and Bucknell were nicknamed the Braves and Bison, respectively, should make Boston a little queasy, since it is the Terriers. Besides, a 16 seed has never defeated a one seed. Boston doesn't have the depth or the players around John Holland to pull off the upset. While it would be a great story for the Terriers, Kansas is a lock for the third round with either Illinois or UNLV. This would be considered a win for Boston if it loses by fewer than 25 points.
HEARYE, HEARYE
Bill Self on Boston University's all-conference senior guard John Holland
"He's really good. He's the best player in their league. He's got good size and they play him at the guard position but they can also play him at the four to create some match-up problems."

THE JAYHAWKS WILL ROLL IF..
They don't get lost on their way to the BOK Center. Because the Jayhawks have been in Tulsa since Wednesday night, and they made it to their shoot around and press conferences at the BOK Center Thursday, things aren't looking good for the Terriers. The Jayhawks said they wouldn't overlook anybody, but it wouldn't kill them either way in this one.
BOSTON WILL GET ITS BEST UPSET SINCE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION IF ...
Both Morris twins get hurt. Tyshawn Taylor, too. Then it will be a ball-game. Otherwise, the Jayhawks will put the Terriers away early. Even though Bill Self said the Terriers were underseeded at 16, there's still far too much talent on the Kansas roster.

Sorry, ladies, but this one is geared toward the fellas.
Today marks day two of the second round of the NCAA tournament Luckily spring break starts later today and you'll be able to watch the coverage without having to go to class, do homework, study or take tests. But not everyone has the luxury of being on vacation and catching all the action and the upsets.

Well, men, there's a solution for that: get a vasectomy. In a foxnews. com article, the Cleveland Clinic projected that there would be approximately 50 percent more vasectomies this week because of the start of the tournament. In Austin, Texas, Richard Chopp, MD (yes, that is his real name), saw 40 percent more traffic at his office during tournament time last year, according to

THE MORNING BREW
You can even get snipped in the morning and 30 minutes later you could be on the coach watching Sir Charles Barkley tell you why Kansas will win the tournament.
You now have an excuse to sit on your couch and watch basketball all day on four channels. You don't have to miss a game if you have picture-in-picture-in-picture-in-picture. You can throw on TruTv, TBS, TNT and CBS and watch all
the action.

Once the surgery is over, you should be back to a "normal" life on Monday, though some people recover more slowly than others.
Luckily, most urologists give their patients "survival kits" to get through
If you want it reversed,you would have to fork over some cash,and there is a possibility that the reversal may not succeed.
I'm not condoning getting a vasectomy, but this is a much better excuse than saying I'm sick or my grandma died, even though she might have and I'm sorry for the death. It's a legitimate excuse because you need to be on bed rest, but I know I won't be getting one any time soon.

Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor makes a layup in the second half of Saturday's game. Kansas defeated Texas to advance to a 32-2 record for the season
Top-seeded Kansas enters against bottom-seed Boston
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
History says the Boston Terriers don't stand a chance. A 16 seed has never beaten a one seed. Ever. And the Jayhawks don't look like the one seed to break that streak: too much depth, too much talent, too many Morrises.
Taylor will be key in the Jayhawks' chances to make a deep tournament run this year. The Jayhawks have had turmoil reign in the starting point guard spot, and Elijah Johnson started six games before Taylor took the job back in the Big 12 Championship game against Texas. How Self handles those two and freshman Josh Selby could be the difference between winning and losing in the second round and on.
"It's definitely a motivation for us," junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "I just don't want us to come out and fear that will happen again. We have to be loose, play, have fun and enjoy this time. We don't get this time too many more times."
History and reason say the Terriers don't stand a chance, but the Jayhawks don't. Not after last year, when everything would have said Northern Iowa was just a fly to be swatted by the mighty Jayhawks.
Self said he understood Tyshawn's importance to the team even when Taylor was on the bench. The importance of Taylor is that he's the best player on the team at running the point on a fast break, and he's quicker than most players.
"We get faster with Tysawn in the game," Self said. "Without him in the game we're not as fast of a team. One guy changes the look of who we are with his speed, without question."
Even Boston, which has no realistic chance to break the 0-104 streak 16 seeds entered the tournament on against one seeds, has steady point guard play in the form of D.J. Irving, a speedy freshman who averages just shy of eight points and four assists per game.

"Their point guard is really fast, so we're up for a challenge, but we're ready," Taylor said. "We just want to go out there and play hard like we've been doing."
The Jayhawks are more than ready to put the Northern Iowa loss behind them, but not at the expense of taking a worthy opponent for granted. Senior guard Mario Little redshirted last season and didn't play in the Northern Iowa game, but he was one of the last Jayhawks to stagger off the court in disbelief
"That was last year," Little said. "We're moving on. We've got bigger and better things to accomplish right now."

Healthy Kansas hosts second round of WNIT
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich has been plagued with injuries through her career at Kansas and, for the first time, has avoided a season ending injury. Goodrich missed seven games early in the season when she had work done on her knee, but is feeling fine now and even playing without a brace.
The Jayhawks will host the winner of the Kent State and Duqense game on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.
"It is exciting and it gives me chills actually," Goodrich said.
Fredoahs "The more we move on, it is more exciting to move closer and closer to our goal." Goodrich said.
That goal of course is to return to the championship game they reached in 2008. Senior forward Krysten Boogaard and junior forward Aishah Sutherland are the only two players still remaining that played that season.
Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis and sophomore forward Monica Engelman are leading the team this year.
Davis led the team shooting 14-15 from the field for a career high 33
"I think it calms everybody down," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "When you score high percentage shots, get in rhythm and score primary looks it makes everybody feel good."
points.
Engelman hit three shots from behind the arc and she shot 6 of 10 from the field.
For the fourth straight year Kansas advanced to the second round of the WNIT in front of a crowd at home.
"I think we need to be more consistent this next game." Davis said. "There were times when we let up in the game and did not keep going at them. We have been talking about this all year about not letting up on a team even when we have the lead."
"It definitely gets momentum, especially hitting a three because it is a big shot," Engelman said. "It just gets the energy flowing and it's another way for us to get the momentum going."
Though there was not much that the Jayhawks did wrong, they are still looking to be more consistent.

COMMENTARY
A different final four match-up
BY NICO ROESLER
nroesler@kansan.com
The only thing that matters happens on the court, right? With the NCAA tournament are students as well as admits. This week, the Knight Commission, along with support from Arne Duncan, U.S. secretary of education, and Ben Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP, released a study on the 68-team field entering the NCAA tournament.
With the NCAA tournament begun and sports bars blaring college basketball games on every TV, people forget about most everything else, including the fact that the hundreds of athletes who will have airtime throughout the course of the tournament are students as well as athletes.
The study examined graduation rates as they relate to black and white student-athletes on each team. The Knight Commission argues that schools with graduation rates of less than 50 percent should be banned from post-season play, a move that would change the academic landscape of college basketball.
Their hope is that academic pressure on schools would raise graduation rates rather than undermine the quality of athletic performance the fans would see on the court.
Kansas' Academic Progress Rate (APR), a measurement used by both the NCAA and the Knight Commission in its new study, is one of the few 1000's on the list. Meaning we are on top of the list, along with Butler, Michigan State and Texas. A rating of below 925 means that a school's graduation rates for student-athletes are below 50 percent.
It's discrepancies like these that the Knight Commission is trying to eliminate from post-season play in order to place emphasis on education to improve the lives of these young adults.
"The vast majority of coaches are doing this the right way, and their behavior isn't rewarded while the guys that are doing it the wrong way, their behavior is rewarded," said Richard Lapchick, director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports, University of Central Florida professor, and head of the Knight Commission's study.
On the other end of the spectrum are some schools that have run into widely reported NCAA violations. Schools such as Connecticut that graduate just 50 percent of their white basketball players and an even more disappointing 25 percent of their black basketball players.
Kansas State has an APR rating of 924 and an overall student-athlete graduation rate of just 40 percent compared to Kansas' 80 percent. Even more shocking is the fact that K-State graduates 100 percent of its white basketball players and just 14 percent of its black basketball players.
Kansas graduates 100 percent of its white basketball student-athletes and 67 percent of its black student-athletes. Those numbers do not include one-and-done athletes or athletes who transfer in good academic standing.
In a related study, Inside Higher Ed. released a bracket based off of each schools' APR and filled it out based on how each team would perform academically.
Kansas, Texas, Butler and Princeton made the final four. And if this year's national champion was decided by APR, Butler would repeat last year's championship appearance and win.
But don't let this adjust your own brackets. At least not yet. Because if the Knight Commission achieved its goal to bar underperforming schools from the tournament, 10 of this year's teams wouldn't be playing this weekend.

Want to know how much it hurts? How about this: Thomas Robinson, Jersey rumped on his lap, with the "LR" patch commemorating his late mother staring back at him like an unblinking eye.
Or Tyshawn Taylor, doubled up, face buried in his hands, muffling his sobs as a lone photographer offered a sympathetic pat on the shoulder.
Kansas Brady Mormongar, left, and Tyrel Reed react in the locker room after their team lost 71-61 to Virginia Commonwealth at the Westmoreland regional final game in the NCAA college basketball tournament Sunday, in San Antonio.
Or the sobs that interrupted Conner Teahan's answer to a question about Tyrel Reed. Or Reed, the winningest jayhawk ever, with red-rimmed eyes as he fielded questions after one of the worst shooting days of his career. Or Brady Morningstar, next to him, so choked up that he could barely speak.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Or Marcus Morris, bent double with his head resting on arms folded across his knees and media standing around, waiting for minutes before bothering him with a question.
Or Markieff Morris, sitting next to his brother, staring at a box score with a blank expression on his face, as if looking at the numbers long enough could change the fact that Kansas lost, again, to a team that nobody gave a shot.
"In sports," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "it's such a microcosm of life, because when you care so much you certainly put yourself out there, that you can be disappointed real easy."
The Jayhawks came out flat, while the Rams came out scorching. The Rams charged out to a 14-point halftime lead behind 60 percent shooting from three-point range.
The lesson the Jayhawks were supposed to take away from the Northern Iowa loss last season — that the little guy could do just as much damage as the blue bloods — maybe didn't stick.
"When you don't defend, you dig yourself a hole and you have to try to make a comeback," Morningstar said. "It's a lot easier to play with the lead than without the lead."
There was a moment there, right in the middle of the second half, when everyone in the gym thought the Jayhawks were going to do it. VCU coach Shaka Smart had just gotten a technical and Kansas had cut the deficit to two. The VCU fans were quiet, deaf to the pleas of their cheerleaders, while the Kansas fans were raucous, sure that their Jayhawks were going to rise from the ashes of that terrible first half.
Kansas, for all its talent and all its depth and all the things that made them the last one seed in the NCAA Tournament, just couldn't come back.
But a comeback isn't complete until it's all the way complete. And Kansas couldn't quite get there. That two-point deficit was as close as they got. VCU answered. Jamie Skeen, who was named the region's most outstanding player, scored seven of the game's next 14 points, and the comeback was over before the Rams ever even trailed.
"I don't know what happened," Self said. "And next thing you know, two becomes seven or two becomes six. We just didn't have it where we kept putting pressure on them. We kept saying the pressure would shift to them with the lead, if we can keep it within distance."
If the Rams felt pressure, though, they
didn't show it. They were relaxed at the start, and at the finish they were estatic.
And the Jayhawks were left with the tears on their faces, and it all just hurt.

CORRECTION
A March 15 Kansas article erroneously reported that KUinited presidential candidate Libby Johnson and vice presidential candidate Gabe Bliss said there were no KU on Wheels bus stops
on Emery Road.
Johnson, a senior from Lawrence, acknowledged there are stops along the north end of Emery Road but says they are not designated with signs.
One of KUNited's platforms for the upcoming election adds signs to the three stops, which currently operate on a "wavedown system."
Additionally, Johnson said
KUnited would also like to add another designated stop point on Emery near the Kappa Delta and Kappa Sigma houses.
CLARIFICATION
The March 18 Student Senate line-item graphic and headline were inaccurate.Student Senate treasurer David Cohen said Student Senate allocated less money
for the 2012 fiscal year because fewer student groups applied for line-item funding, not because those groups were denied funding.

Businesses lose profits as fans leave disappointed
BY ADAM STRUNK
astrunk@kansan.com
astrunk@kansan.com
Thirty Lawrence and KU police officers lined the street Sunday afternoon prepared to deal with crowds of more than 5,000 people. They stood huddled in small groups with nothing to do as snow fell and dejected KU fans walked by.
This was the scene along Massachusetts Street shortly following VCU's stunning 10-point upset of the top seeded KU men's basketball team in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
"I am pissed," Julie Heffernan, senior from La Grange, Ill., said while standing outside the Mass Street Pub. "This was my last year here and I wanted to, you know, go out with a bang."
No 'bang' was found late Sunday afternoon along Massachusetts
Street, site of the 3,000-person crowd that formed to celebrate KU's 2008 Final Four berth. Bars that had been packed full of excited fans since 11:30 a.m. sat deserted.
"They have never been louder in the bar," bartender Kacee Abel said while working in the empty Dynamite Saloon. "But right afterwards everyone just left."
The lack of crowds meant loss of business for Massachusetts Street stores.
Ryan Owens, general manager at Jock's Nitch Sporting Goods, said that had Kansas won the game, his shop would have been full of fans buying KU T-Shirts.
"We had shirts pre-ordered and ready to go," he said. "We pre-bought some in anticipation of selling them right now as we speak."
Owens said that the store
would donate pre-ordered Final Four shirts to people in countries overseas and in need of clothing. Owens also added that the basketball loss would have an effect on long-term sales.
"It's dramatic on T-Shirt Sales," he said. "The longer your season is, the more publicity your better sales are going to be."
While the mood in Lawrence was somber and the loss has been painful and difficult for many to take, Paige Noel, freshman from Portis, said she would forever be a lavawk, win or lose.
"I am never going to root for another team," she said. "I am not going to even watch any more of [college basketball] until exhibition time next year."

Sense of humor helps overcome pain of cancer
BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE
Inightengale@kansan.com
As a nurse practitioner at Watkins Memorial Health Center, Kathy Guth routinely performs breast exams on her patients, so when she found a lump in her breast, she knew
CATHERINE LEE
right away that something was wrong.
She went to see a doctor who suggested she might be feeling a fibroadenoma, a benign lump, and scheduled a removal of
the growth. Guth said she knew this lump was different than others she had felt before and the surgery confirmed her suspicion — breast cancer.
After receiving the diagnosis, Guth said she immediately made up her mind that she would beat the disease.
"The hardest part was knowing that you did have cancer, of course that's devastating in itself, but I felt good," Guth said. "I felt positive that it was going to be okay."
The surgery also revealed the cancer had metastasized to Guth's lymph nodes, which required chemotherapy treatments. Knowing that the cancer spread, Guth decided to get a mastectomy.
While undergoing chemotherapy treatments, Guth remained optimistic. She thinks her positivity helped the family cope with the disease's effects and speeded her recovery.
The treatments took a toll on Guth's body, causing nausea, fatigue and hair loss. While wearing a wig and prosthesis, Guth said sense of humor helped relieve the family's stress, especially her children's.
"They could see mom wasn't so sick," Guth said. "Keeping a little bit of humor with it I think really helped a lot."
Before becoming a nurse, Guth worked as a biology and psychology teacher. Her background in education helps her inform students and patients about the risk of cancer, especially the importance of self-exams.
"Know your body. Know what normal is for you because you're the expert of your body," Guth said. "If you see something that just doesn't look right or feel right, pursue it."
Guths work as a health educator at Watkins helps her fight the disease that she has seen claim the live of friends. Others can contribute b participating in Relay for Life April 15 to support the American Cance Society.

SUA assures LGBT youth: 'It Gets Better'
BY SHAUNA BLACKMON
slbblankon kansan.com
It's no surprise that growing up is difficult. Kids are often bullied and ostracized, especially in middle school. Columnist and author Don Savage started the program It Gets Better in September 2010. The program aims to help young people, especially those in the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) community realize that, in most cases, the horrible feelings of youth don't last forever.
It all started with a YouTube video created by Savage and his partner Terry. The project now hosts over 10,000 videos with over 30 million views. Most of the videos are from everyday people who faced hardships growing up but there are also stories from President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Ellen DeGeneres, along with many other famous names and faces.
Student Union Activities picked up the idea and made its own site for University students and faculty in anticipation for Gay Awareness Month, or as some call it, Gaypriul. Jeers and Allies wanted to bring the program to the University and make it applicable to everyone.
"The national version is LGB specific, but for this, we want it to speak to all students," Megan Do, social issues assistant coordinator for SUA, said. While Q&A is participating in the event, it is with a watchful and cautious eye on Savage.
"Savage has made comments against fat people, bisexual men, horrible things about vaginas, and some pretty offensive stuff towards asexuals."
"A lot of what Dan Savage has to say is problematic." Rachel Gadd-Nelson, the director for educational outreach for Q&A said.

Gadd-Nelson says that while Q&A is glad the "It Gets Better"
program is bringing attention to the issues of LGBT youth, they are not convinced this is the right way to go about it.
"A lot of his videos pretty much say to get through high school, then move to a big city where you can be gay" Gadd-Nelson said. "In the Midwest we didn't want to do that especially since so many of our students are from a small town, we want to do something right now to make it better here."
STAY ON THE ROAD WITH THE HAWKS
If marketed right, the event can have a positive effect on the community.
"We have to focus on our whole community, our high schools, middle schools, and even elementary schools," Gadd-Nelson said. "We have to stop being so insular, KU has an obligation not only to students, but the community. We really hope SUA tries to make a community connection."
While there are some complications and politics involved with the program and especially with Dan Savage, they do not negate the importance of helping youth accept themselves and each other.
"We're trying to make KU more accepting and understanding place." Do said. "We want to give young people who are struggling hope that their lives do get better."
INTERNATIONAL
Students' travel plans to Japan cut
Sam Hosfelt, a senior from Topeka, was set to leave for a study abroad program in Japan on Thursday. He says now he didn't realize just how excited he was to go until he was told last week that he won't be allowed.
Hosfelt is one of three students who intended to go to Japan this semester. University officials informed him that he won't be able to go because of the State Department advisory against travel to the country, which is still facing a tremendous clean-up effort and ongoing nuclear threat after a massive earthquake and tsunami earlier this month.
Spokeswoman Jill Jess said University policy prevents any study abroad in areas with a State Department advisory. The 10 University students who were in Japan when the earthquake hit were told to come home March 17.
Hosfelt has enrolled in University classes for the fall and has been told by the University that he will be refunded for most of his costs associated with enrolling in study abroad except for his passport and visa paperwork charges. He's not certain how the change of plans may affect his graduation date, though he says he'd like to enroll again next spring if he can.
"I'm extremely disappointed," he said. "But I'll go someday."
LEGAL
Lawsuit against fraternity settled
A lawsuit against the nationa and Kansas chapters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and multiple unnamed defendants was settled before going to a jury trial, court officials confirmed on Friday. The attorneys for Wren and SAE missed their Friday deadline to file the terms of the
settlement, but are expected to submit the agreement for approval of District Judge Malone sometime this week.
Jay Wren filed the lawsuit against the fraternity after his son, Jason, was found dead in the SAE house in March 2009. The suit was scheduled to go to trial in April of this year, but instead was settled last month.

Two cakes better than one
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Royal wedding plans announced Sunday show an admirable spirit of compromise: The main cake will be a fruity, floral masterwork designed with input from Kate Middleton, but Prince William will get his childhood favorite chocolate biscuit cake too.
When it comes to the future king and queen, two cakes are better than one.
Palace officials said the royal couple have chosen a multi-tiered traditional fruit cake decorated with cream and white icing that will be created by designer Fiona Cairns, a cakemaker to the stars — such as former Beatle Paul McCartney — who has built a thriving business since starting to bake at her kitchen table 25 years ago.
The actual design remains a secret, but the cake will have a strong British floral theme, developed with extensive input from Middleton. The master baker will use the Lambeth Method, a popular English style that relies on intricate piping and scrollwork to create leaves, flowers and other decorative elements.
Middleton asked Cairns to represent about 16 different blooms and types of foliage on the cake, each with a different symbolic meaning, palace officials said.
"She has guided us right from the beginning and has quite strong ideas," said Cairns, whose business is based in Leicestershire, about 110 miles (180 kilometers) north of London. "That makes it much easier than a bride who has absolutely no idea whatsoever, which has happened in the past. But she knew very much what she wanted and she brought us mood boards and told us what influences she would like us to use on the cake."
Cairns said a number of flowers have already been chosen for inclusion.
"There is the bridal rose which symbolizes happiness; the oak and acorn — which is an architectural detail around the room where the cake will be — and which symbolizes strength and endurance; and there is a lily of the valley, which symbolizes sweetness and humility; and ivy leaves which symbolize marriage," she said.
Cairns would not say how many tiers the cake will have, but said it would include dried raisins, walnuts, cherries, grated orange and lemon, and French brandy to soak many of the fruits overnight.
The cake is expected to be prominently displayed at the Buckingham Palace reception for about 600 guests that will follow the April 29 nuptials at Westminster Abbey. But guests will also be able to enjoy the chocolate biscuit cake, made from a royal family recipe and requested by William
It will be made by McVitie's Cake Company, familiar to generations of British children for their tasty chocolate covered biscuits and other treats. The company has made made cakes for the royal family for decades, including the official cake for the 50th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

some bands must sell out to loosen Internet chains
POP CULTURE
Inevitably in interviews the music journalist must ask the musician, "What's next?" Typically near the end of a Q & A session, the query satisfies a reader's inherent need to know if their band is making progress on a new masterpiece, something that doesn't sound too different, or too similar from the substantially YouTubed song that got them the interview.
P. S. JOHNSON
Often musicians answer in the same vague terms a recent graduate would use to field career questions from well-intentioned relatives: "We're trying some things out right now," "trying to get our name out there some more" or "just trying to take things one day at a time."
I used to ask this question as an interviewer for an online publication. Generally jovial talks, the mood seemed to shift whenever the future was brought up. Even the most quotable troubadours would suddenly become reticent, offering Dylanesque pranksterisms to their sneakers, or reciting answers equally as worn as the pockets for which their hands sought shelter.
I could never desensitize myself from either answer. I felt like the jackass who was prying into personal lives. It was

likely the same question whispered by loved ones during lulls in long distance phone calls, or in emails from parents notifying them of deposits; the internal conflict faced everyday in self-reflective stints superimposed against the fleeting image of some American landscape.
An honest answer would be complicated.
Two years ago, Das Racist appeared to be just another Brooklyn-based, private-school educated, avoiding-pressures-of-drudging into-middle-class-mundanity

band of the week. A friend introduced me to their music, and I was hooked. Weeks later, their song "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" was going viral on YouTube and in the following months, their exposure bleed beyond blog press and into mediums with donors. Over the last two years, however, they've remained more or less within in an Internet contagion, unable to reach that Gladwellian timing point.
This scares me for a few reasons. I need them to sell out. I need them to leave the Internet.
To a certain extent, I live vicariously through the few bands I've followed from backpack heroes to Volkswagen commercials. I live vicariously because I appreciate the risks musicians take that I myself am afraid. In this sense, I want them to do well, because I know they'd be forced into a job they'd hate if they weren't able to break into the edges of the mainstream.
But I also encourage their ascendancy for a selfish reason: I need to see them gain popularity, because I understand that if they don't, I won't be able to live vicariously through their fortitude, and, consequently, I'd experience another
example of realism without a musical beacon generations before seemed to use as a crutch.
My Internet upbringing has taught me that if a meme remains on the Internet, there's a better chance its half-life will be a few minutes more. Nicki Minaj and Phoenix were once a struggle to find, but since they made it to Cadillac commercials and SNL skits, I've been able to listen to them without trying.
And I don't mind this popularity or ubiquity. I derive a distinguished pleasure out of tracking an interest that gains exposure — perhaps the defining sensation of the nascent century.
But I think my involvement is ultimately rooted in an oscillation between understanding and despising bands who allow themselves to "sell out" (i.e. make money), because I jostle with a similar decision, the choice between realism and idealism, adherence and choice — the curious curse of the middle class.

Basketball brings different kinds of students together
I never went to my high school's basketball games. I think we sucked big time or something — I dunno, I wasn't involved in the soap opera that was Mulvane High School's "Rowdie" Crowd (that's just the way they spell "rowdie" in Southern Kansas). The main reason is because I had forgotten sports when I started listening to Good Charlotte and putting on mascara as eyeliner (make-up is confusing!) when I turned 13. But even when I grew out of my weird emo phase, I never went back to getting any enjoyment out of sports. Until I came to KU. I found myself swept up in the insanity of KU basketball.
If I said this strange phenomenon was simply because I go to KU, that would be partially right. There's something definitely rad about seeing Barack Obama choose Kansas to win in his bracket. And it's fun to see everyone tweeting up #kubball storms. However, there's more to it than this. I think in a corny way, it feels like everyone at KU is a part of it.
To reiterate, I don't enjoy sports. Like at all. The commercials don't even really make the Super Bowl worth it for me – and I love good commercials (thanks, "Mad Men"). I would much rather watch three thousand episodes of Amanda Bynes' trainwreck/sitcom "What I Like About You" than watch a baseball game. But I have fallen in love with KU basketball.
I didn't really start watching basketball until I moved in with my roommates last year - both huge KU basketball fans. They watched every game, and by association of living with them, I watched a ton of games too. I even watched that heart-shredding UNI game during the tournament. And it was a mad-ass letdown. I felt pain, because a basketball team lost. It was a strange, strange feeling.
I was like, "Am I turning into a were-wolf?" Then I was like, "No, I think I just felt something from watching a sport." This

year I don't have the same roommates. I live with someone who is just as disinterested in sports as I am, but I've started watching the games on my own. I think it's more than simply going to KU - I think it's feeling like a part of it. I see those pictures of Mass. Street when KU won in 2008, and I want that so badly. I want all of the students (who aren't fuddy-duddies) to come together, and celebrate being a part of The University of Kansas. That'd be rad.
I understand now that liking sports must suck hardcore – especially if you like a team like the 49ers (drum rimshot, right?) Okay, I tried, but I really don't know anything about football) – because when you lose it can almost feel like you've failed. And that's why Sunday sucked a megaton - even moreso than last year. I know it will be a year now before we get another shot at that championship and it feels bad, man. But it's exhilarating to root for such an awesome team, and hopefully it will be worth it someday. Because it'll feel like we all won, damn it. Those of you who cringe like the nerd you are at the word "sports," give KU basketball a shot. It can be exciting.

Stubbornness gets in the way of change
I don't agree with either article completely, but there was something about those two ideas that seem to fit together.
I'm sure there are some people who are actually concerned about manufacturers of incandescent light bulbs losing their jobs, and there are some people who dislike compact fluorescent light bulbs for rational reasons but for the most part. I think this is just about people being afraid of change.
Utopia, I imagine it wouldn't be a place where all arguments have been settled, but rather a place where people only have ridiculous things left to argue about.
Earlier this month, I read two interesting articles on the New York Times' website. The first article, "Let There Be More Efficient Light," made the argument that government-mandated efficiency standards for light bulbs would help our country despite the vocal protests against them. The second article, "The Modesty Manifesto," stated research claimed Americans' confidence is higher than it was in previous eras.
When I hear we have people in Congress arguing about light bulbs it makes me think we must at least be on the right track.
That being said, resistance to light bulb efficiency standards is the worst symptom of overconfidence: Stubbornness.
We aren't just afraid of changing our light bulbs either. Do you remember a little more than 10 years ago when many countries in Europe adopted the international euro as their currency? I can't imagine a situation in which the U.S. would be willing to give up its dollar even if it was in all of our best interests.
I don't even need to use hypothetical situations. What about the metric system? We've had more than 200 years to adjust to it, and we still treat it like a punch line. That's what I call being stubborn.
I'm not saying that I don't understand. For example, I own 15 video game consoles and as someone who owns that many consoles, I can tell you no one actually needs 15 of them. I've collected them out of a sense of nostalgia, a fear that I won't be able to play my favorite games if I get rid of them, and a sense that they're a symbol of pride for my favorite hobby. It's a form of stubbornness.

Prime plays
FIRST HALF (SCORE AFTER PLAY)
18:03 — Kansas swings the ball around and Tyshawn Taylor finds Marcus Morris on an entry ball that leaves Marcus Morris with an open layup. (4-0)
8:41 — Markieff Morris knocks down Kansas' first field goal from outside of the lane, a three pointer from the top of the key. (15-23)
16:15 — It's been the Morris twins early and Marcus comes up with a steal and a dunk at the other end. (8-5)
SECOND HALF
16:52 — Marcus Morris with his signature up-and-under cuts the VCU lead to nine. (34-43)
13:11 — Tyshawn Taylor makes a traditional three-point play to cut it to two. That was as close as Kansas would get. (46-44)
16:27 — Brady Morningstar steals the ball from Ed Nixon and pushes the ball up to a wide open Tyshawn Taylor, who flushes it at the other end. (36-43)
1:53 — VCU's Bradford Burgess puts the nail in the coffin with a layup. (57-65)
Notes
- Bill Self is 1-5 in Elite Eight games
- The loss was Kansas' first at a neutral site (10-1)
- Kansas is now 27-9 all-time as a No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament, including 4-2 against the No.11 seed.

Kentucky beats UNC in East Final, advances to Final Four
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. — Kentucky spent 13 straight springs watching other schools play in the Final Four, a destination college basketball's winningest program considers its birthright.
In the Bluegrass, it's a lifetime.
At most places, that's hardly a drought.
In the Bluegrass, it's a lifetime. Now coach John Calipari and the Wildcats — finally — are two wins away from another national title.
Brandon Knight scored 22 points and fourth-seeded Kentucky advanced to the Final Four for the
The Wildcats (29-8) will play Connecticut in Houston on Saturday night after turning back a late surge by the Tar Heels (27-10), who erased an 11-point deficit before running out of gas in the final 2 minutes.
DeAndre Liggins added 12 points for Kentucky, including a 3-pointer from the corner with 37 seconds remaining to help lift the Wildcats.
nirst time since their 1998 national title with a 76-69 win over second-seeded North Carolina on Sunday in the East Regional final.
"We got Kentucky back," senior center Josh Harrellson said. "A lot
of people doubted us. A lot of people really didn't think wed be the team we are. We really pulled it together as a team, and we're back now."
A season after falling a game short of the Four Four behind a roster filled with future NBA stars, the Wildcats are heading to the national semifinals for the 14th time behind the heady play of Knight and Harrellson's emotional leadership.
Harrellson again held his own against North Carolina's bigger, more heralded front line, scoring 12 points and grabbing eight rebounds.
Tyler Zeller led North Carolina with 21 points and nine rebounds and Harrison Barnes added 18 points, but the Tar Heels fell behind early and struggled to catch the hotshot Wildcats in check.
Harrison gave teammate Eloy Vargas a bear hug shortly after the buzzer sounded then gleefully cut down the nets while the Tar Heels trudged slowly off the floor.
It's a scene the program has been waiting for years to celebrate, a mission that began in earnest when the program lured John Calipari away from Memphis in 2009.
He promised he wasn't "the grand poobah" the day he signed
his eight-year, $31.65 million contract, but there's little doubt who rules the Bluegrass now.
rules the Bluegrass Calipari joins Rick Pitino as the only men's coaches to lead three different programs to the Final Four. Calipari's previous visits at Massachusetts in 1996 and Memphis in 2008 were vacated by the NCAA for rules violations, but Calipari was not found liable in either instance.
Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart said Calipari wanted his Final Four appearances with the Wildcats "to stick." Time will tell if they do, though he's already restored the luster to a program
that's slowly slipped off its perch over the last decade.
The win also gives the Final Four another blueblood program though with a twist.
Kentucky's win means there will be no No. 1 or No. 2 seed since the field expanded to 64 in 1985.
Not that the Wildcats care about the seeding. Championship banners are what matter.
It's why Kentucky went after Calipari so aggressively, making him the highest paid coach in the country.
He came close a year ago, as the Wildcats missed their first 20 three-point attempts in a dismal 73-66 loss to West Virginia.

At one point Barnes found himself in an awkward position and tried to throw the ball off the backboard to himself. Harrellson, as he was almost all game, was right in position to gobble up the North Carolina mistake.
Kentucky roared into the half-time with a 38-30 lead then made it stand up as North Carolina failed to take advantage when the Wildcats grew skittish with the lead.
The team that couldn't win a close game or away from Rupp. Arena is doing both easily. Two days after taking out top-seeded Ohio State, the Wildcats again stayed calm when things got tight.
"Coach said if there's a kick out you'd better shoot it, and I just shot it and made it," Liggins said. "My job was to run the floor and try to make plays, so that's what I tried to do."
When they weren't knocking down jumpers from all over, they were getting their hands in passing lanes, pestering the bigger, longer Tar Heels into sloppy mistakes.
Now the Wildcats are running all the way back home — the Final Four.
There were no such issues Sunday. Knight hit a three-pointer barely 3 minutes in and Kentucky kept right on shooting. Darius Miller, Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb also drilled 3s of their own to give the Wildcats an early confidence boost.

Baylor women defeat Wisconsin-Greenbay 86-76
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Brittney Griner had another big game, got some help from Baylor's freshman point guard, and the top-seeded Lady Bears ended any chance for Wisconsin-Green Bay to have a Butler-like finish.
Griner had a career-high 40 points with 10 rebounds, and combined with Sims to score all the points in the game-clinching 14-0 spurt, as the Lady Bears finally pulled away for an 86-76 victory over Green Bay on Sunday night.
The Lady Bears (34-2) led only 52-49 before Griner made a short baseline shot over two defenders with just over 13 minutes left. Sims then had consecutive 3-pointers before two free throws and a putback by Griner. Sims ended the spurt with a steal and breakaway lavun.
Baylor advanced to the regional final by snapping a 25-game winning streak by the feisty team from the Horizon League that also boasts a two-time Final Four team on the men's side.
"Stuff started clicking for us," Griner said. "We weren't rushing anything."
Green Bay (34-2), in the NCAA round of 16 for the first time, put up quite a fight for a while against a team trying to get to the Final Four for the second straight season
and proved they weren't intimidated by Griner, Baylor's 6-foot-8 sophomore standout.
In the end, though, Griner stood tall again.
"You might better change the way you think about guarding her," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. "They said they weren't going to do much different."
Griner was coming off 30 points and eight blocks in Baylor's victory Tuesday night over West Virginia, when she sat on the bench the final 9:20 of the first half with two fouls.
This time, she sat the final 5:51 of the half with 13 points after two fouls in a 14-second span.
Next up for Baylor is a very familiar foe.
Baylor plays Texas A&M (30-5) on Tuesday night, and the winner goes to the NCAA Final Four. It is a rematch of the Big 12 championship game three weeks ago, when the Aggies jumped out to a 12-0 lead before Baylor recovered to beat their conference rival for the third time this season. 61-58.
The Aggies advanced with a 79-38 victory over Georgia earlier Sunday that was never close.
Sims, the freshman playing only a few miles from home, finished with 18 points, four assists and three steals. That was plenty to offset a season-high eight turnovers.

Kayla Tetschlag led Green Bay with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Celeste Hoewisch had 20 points.

The Phoenix finished with 34 rebounds, the same as Baylor, with
a 12-3 run and was within 34-30 when Hoewisch hit a 3-pointer with 2:36 left.

but Hoewisch found an opening and got the pass to Tetschlag for a layup. Only problem was that left 4 seconds on the clock, enough for Sims to bank in a 3-pointer from well beyond the arc as the buzzer sounded for a 43-34 lead.
Despite being only 5-foot-7, Hoewisch was not scared of Griner's presence, going inside several times. When she drove, got knocked down and had her shot swatted away by Grimer. Hoewisch looked up at the official, holding her arms out in disbelief that no foul was called.
Green Bay took advantage with
On another play before halftime. Hoewisch penetrated and stopped on the left side of the lane with Griner in her path, then swung the ball around Baylor's center to Tetschlag for an easy layup to get the Phoenix within 24-17 a few minutes before Griner's second foul.
But Hoewisch absorbed the full brunt of Baylor's big center midway through the second half. When she came up from behind to try to provide defensive help, Hoewisch was called for a foul. when Griner fell on top of her.

Jayhawks drop three games at Texas A&M
BY ALEC TILSON
atilson@kansan.com
At home in Hogland Ballpark, Coach Ritch Price earned his 500th Division I victory when the Kansas baseball team defeated Arkansas-Little Rock last Tuesday, days before the first Big 12 road test this year.
Price, who is now 500-463-3 in 15 seasons of DI competition, said he worked his entire career trying to get to a BCS school, but this milestone was achieved by more than just him.
"My whole career has never been about myself, it's always been about the players and the teams that I've coached." Price said. "It's a great feeling to share this with so many former players."
the Kansas baseball team was in College Station, Texas, Friday for a three-game weekend set.
No. 6 Texas A&M this weekend.
During the 2-1, 10-inning loss on Friday evening, the Jayhawks' (10-13, 2-4) struggle to score runs proved to be a harbinger for the rest of the weekend.
A lack of timely RBI at-bats troubled the team again; its 24 hits could not overshadow the 24 runners left on base in the series.
of the weekend.
Senior T.J. Walz, the team's Friday startter, provided an impressive start to the series for the third weekend in a row despite a no-decision.
On 118 pitches — coach Price said one will throw more than 120 in a single game — Walz (2-3) struck out ten batters and walked one. He allowed just one run on four hits, but the run support did not come until the final out of the game.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Whatever's best for me and my family, that's what I'll do."
- Thomas Robinson on his decision whether to go to the NBA
FACT OF THE DAY
The Final Four matchup of No. 11 VCU and No. 8 Butler is the greatest number of combined seeds ever in that round.
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many time has a No.1 seed never made it to the Final Four?
Time to eat your own bracket
MORNING BREW
Nom, nom, nom. That's the sound of me eating my words that were printed on March 14 and 15. As some of you know I picked Ohio State to cut down the nets in Houston. Boy, was I wrong. The Buckeyes were only good for two wins, not six.
I was wrong, and I'll be the first to admit that I was wrong. Do I regret my pick? No. Do I regret picking against Kansas? No. Why? Ohio State was the No. 1 team in the nation. Its two losses came on the road to a very good Wisconsin team and a very good Purdue team. Picking Ohio State this year is like picking Kansas last year. You would expect the No. 1 overall seed to win.
But after seeing how the first weekend started, it was probably inevitable. There have been so many upsets. Kansas played four games with teams having an average seed of 12. That didn't matter, since the layhawks have nothing to show for it.
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
Like so many people's brackets, mine was busted too. Mine was busted in the first weekend — I lost Pittsburgh and then Syracuse from my Final Four. Who could have guessed Butler would go back to the Final Four? Who could have guessed VCU
A:Three.
would win five games to get to the Final Four?
I have a journalistic obligation to be objective, to not be a "homer." By picking Kansas and just saying that I think they will win isn't a good enough explanation. If I were to pick it, I had to think it was the best team in the nation.
I watched enough of Ohio State this year to think it had the chance to win six straight games. The six main players for Ohio State had been so good. They played smart, they played aggressively, but didn't get in foul trouble. But Ohio State's freshman Jared Sullinger got into foul trouble. Four of them, against Kentucky and the Buckeyes. Sullinger only shot 32.8 percent
THE
MORNING
BREW
from the field after shooting 49.4 percent in the season.
I'm not saying that I was doubter of the Jayhawks, because I had them in the championship game, but nothing convinced me of them being the best team. The time they were No. 1 in the country, they were thumped by Kansas State.
I'm not taking back my pick and I'm not apologizing for it, but I am owning up to the fact that I was wrong in picking Ohio State.

Missed shots bring No.1 down
NSAS 21
MC.MORRIS 22
BURG'S 20
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Minutes before the game was over, the Jayhaws knew what was coming. Marcus Morris was on the bench sulking with a towel over his head before the final buzzer sounded as Kansas lost 71-61 to No. 11 seed VCU.
The mood in the locker room was complete shock and somberness. None of the players wanted to talk, but they had to. They were looking at the ground with a soft glisten over their eyes. Some fully crying and some in just total disbelief of what just happened. Morris thought he let his teammates down, but it's not his fault.
"We didn't get the win, so I let them down," Morris said.
But he can't take the full blame. Morris recorded another double-double, scoring 20 points and grabbing 16 rebounds, but he was 8-for-19 shooting. The problem was that Kansas missed three pointers, free throws and easy layups.
The Jayhawks went 2-for-21 from behind the arc, but coach Bill Self said that it was more like 2-for-17 because some came late in the game when VCU had it wrapped up.
VCU looked like it was shooting into the ocean, while the basket for Kansas seemed to shrink, even though the hoop was still 18 inches in diameter. Everything was going in for the Rams. At one point in the first half VCU was 9-for-15 from three. It could throw something up from Richmond and it would go in. It was just one of those days for the Rams.
Senior guards Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar played their last game as Jayhawks and were shooting 41.7 percent and 53.3 percent from three in the tournament, respectively. Reed was the only one to knock one down between the two. He went 1-for-7, while Morningstar was 0-for-3.
"I don't think we've shot that bad from the three point line and from the field," Reed said. "We had good looks. We got some open shots and the bowl down low, the ball wouldn't
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
fall in. I don't think we ever lost confidence that we weren't going to make shots. We kept shooting them, but they just didn't go in."
Shots weren't the only thing not going in. Free throws weren't either. The team went 15-for-28 from the line. It's hard to blame the loss on free throws and three pointers, but poor shooting in both facets don't help.
"As poorly as we played in the first half, if we make some layups and free throws, we're behind, but it's probably a seven-point game instead of a 14-point game," Self said. "We shot it miserably. I don't usually talk to guys about making shots or missing shots. I talk to them about doing the other things and it seems like to me you shoot better when you concentrate on other things, to help make winning plays."
Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said it's hard to win when you miss that many free throws. And he's right. Most of them came in the 10 minutes of the game.
The whole game dynamic might have changed. The game plan could have been different. The way Kansas cut into VCU's lead might have changed. But that all hypothetical.
"You have to give credit to VCU, they had an incredible game." Morningstar said. "I wish them luck next weekend. As a team we didn't perform as well as we could have and as well as we should have and that's why we're going home."
The Jayhawks didn't get it done and they lost. They go home sad, like they did last year. But this year, they were one step from the Final Four.

After losses during spring break, team moves on

---
Wednesday, the team faced No. 13 Missouri and fell 3-2 and 6-5. The team came out of the doubleheader with a positive outlook. They went in, fought for each and every run and led for several innings in the nightcap of the doubleheader.
The Jayhawks started off at a high point with their win in Carolina and senior catcher Brittany Hile's recruitment into the Pro Fast Pitch League. That was at the very beginning of spring break and the team had more confidence than ever.
"Obviously Texas is a top ten team in the country and we knew they were going to be tough," coach Megan Smith said, "Their pitcher is one of the best pitchers in the country. She was actually the national player of the week this past week."
BY HANNAH WISE
hwise@kansan.com
That Longhorn pitcher is Blaire Luna.
She is now 18-2 from the circle. She struck out 11 Jayhawk batters over the course of the weekend. Until the Sunday contest, Luna was on a 33-inning hitstreak.
Saturday and Sunday the team faced No.8 Texas in Austin and fell hard with losses 12-0 and 10-2.
The softball team went from winning the Coastal Carolina Chanticleer Challenge 5-0 two weeks ago to losing both doubleheaders against Missouri and Texas during spring break.
"Really, we made really good offensive adjustments against her." Smith said.
The Texas batters could not be stopped in either contest. They ended the weekend with 21 hits for 22 runs.
In Saturday's contest, the Jayhawk batters could not collect a hit until freshman Kendra Cullum and sophomore Alex Jones hit back-to-back singles in the fifth inning.
Kansas did not make contact again and both runners were left stranded. Both hits were made against Texas' closer Rachel Fox.
Sunday, the Jayhawks came out ready to fight and earned two runs off two hits in the top of the first inning. However, they would only make contact two other times in the fourth and fifth innings and neither hit converted into a run.
"We came out fighting which was our game plan. We were just going to come out fighting because we had nothing left to lose after yesterday and I think in the first inning we really executed that," junior outfielder Liz Kocon said.
The story behind the loss is that the Kansas pitchers were not aggressive enough for the caliber of batters they were facing. On the weekend all four major pitchers, freshman Kristin Martinez, sophomore Alex Jones, junior Ashley Spencer and senior Allie Clark, were utilized and totaled two strikeouts. The strikeouts came from Jones on Saturday and Spencer on Sunday.
"I think our pitching staff needs to step it up this week. To me, that was what we were really lacking and we hope that they are going to step it up Wednesday and then this coming weekend against Nebraska," Smith said.
Like all games in athletics, there is no time for the team to dwell on the slippery slope they traveled down last week. This upcoming week they will play in Kansas City, Mo., against UMKC and at home against Nebraska during the weekend.
"What we are trying to take away from the loss is just to move forward. Good teams are always going to go through adversity during their season. We just played the top two teams in the Big 12, arguably the best conference in the nation. So we are going to try to not get down on ourselves and remember we are still a really good team," sophomore Maggie Hull said.
COMMENTARY
Edited by Samantha Collins
Luck of the draw
Amit Shah
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
tcbibodeau.kansan.com
You can't win six tournament games on talent alone. Ask any coach what it takes to win a championship in any sport and they will throw out all the staples: an amalgamation of talent, discipline, intelligence, experience, etc.
It's a simple concept. At some point you aren't going to be at your best. No team can be at its best 100 percent of the time. That's when you scrape by with a lucky break.
But if you ask the coaches who have been there, who have won the biggest game of their sport, they will give you another ingredient: Plain, dumb luck.
A lot of these experts are saying there wasn't a great time in college basketball this year. That is false. Ohio State and Kansas, when at their best, were better than everyone. The a couple of things don't go your way, and then you have a situation where a No. 1 seed isn't in the Final Four. That's the third time that has ever happened.
Look at No. 8 Butler when it beat No. 1 Pittsburgh last week. The game looked like it was Butler's for the taking, but a dumb foul put Pitt at the line and it took the lead. But an even dumber foul gave the Bulldogs the free throws to win the game. Now they are in the Final Four, escaping a threatening circumstance just by chance.
On Sunday morning, the Kansas Jayhawks looked like they had all the luck in this tournament.
One team has to win the NCAA tournament. So it just had to be the last remaining No. 1 seed with the easiest potential bracket in NCAA history. They beat a 16-, an 8- and a 12-seed. Then it had an 11-seed and an 8-seed in the way of a championship game.
Even the 2008 champion Jayhawks had some missed Memphis free throws and a miraculous shot go their way. Fate was with Kansas that year.
But this whole season just doesn't make sense. The Jayhawks had one of the most crushing defeats in tournament history last year against UNI.
And though this loss to VCU is painful, it's not as devastating as last season.
Kansas was 2-for-21 on three-point shots. Tyreel Reed, who had a chance to tie Shane Battie for the winningest player in college history, couldn't get anything to go down. Some shots completely bounced out when they were halfway down the basket. That has nothing to do with skill or intelligence or passion. That's just bad luck.
In the same fashion as Kansas lost to Northern Iowa last year, VCU hit an onslaught of threes. For the season, VCU hit 35.7 percent of its three-pointers. Against Kansas, the Rams hit 48 percent. That was 12 three-point makes that the Jayhawks just couldn't answer.
That UNI loss was the motivation this year. The Jayhawks had the talent. They had the swagger in this tournament. They had the perfect bracket situation. It defies explanation why they couldn't put it all together.
Somewhere between Kansas' game with Richmond and Virginia Common Wealth, the Jawahires lost their luck.
The free throw woes are a different story. That was the product of the individual succumbing to pressure.
A Kansas fan wants some sort of closure for this season. It's the same old story: You won the Big 12 tournament and the title seven years in a row now. But it's not good enough for the players, the coaches, or the fans.
"We won the league seven years in a row, we did a lot of good things this year," coach Bill Self said. "But we didn't accomplish what we set out to accomplish."
On Sunday, the luck was with VCU and not with Kansas. That's just the best explanation.

Tim smoked his first joint when he was 11 years old.
Don't get him wrong; he didn't start smoking marijuana regularly until he was in his mid-teens. But when he was 11, his "troublemaker" older brother gave him his first joint.
For Tim, pot had always been a family thing. His father did it. He is pretty confident his mother did it, too, though she won't admit to it. His parents never smoked in front of him, but he thinks his father has used pot as recently as five years ago.
Tim hasn't made an effort to hide his two-to-three-time per week marijuana habit from his immediate family or friends. Most of them already know.
"I generally find people don't have as negative perceptions of people who are smoking all the time as people who are drinking all the time," he said.
Tim, who asked that his last name be withheld, has lived in a residence hall on Daisy Hill for two years. He has found just as much acceptance of his marijuana use at the University as he did back home.
Pot smoking on college campuses is nothing new, but its use on the KU campus is on the rise according to statistics from the University. Interviews with students who live on Daisy Hill also show that it is nearly as socially acceptable as alcohol, and for users such as Tim, there is little fear of negative consequences.
GETTING AWAY WITH IT
Tim said he takes few steps to conceal his smoking. He cracks a window and turns off his heater, which prevents smoke from drifting into the hallway. The smell of the marijuana dissipates quickly.
McCollum Hall resident Alexis Nizzi, a freshman from Overland Park, said that she can tell when people around her are smoking by the mix of smoke haze and Febreze.
He pretty easily to tell what is going on. 321 says
Being obvious is exactly what Tim tries to avoid.
"If you walk down the hall and it smells like someone dropped a flower bomb, it's almost like it amplifies the smell of the pot," he said.
Generally, the more someone tries to hide it, the more obvious it becomes, Tim said. But the Department of Student Housing has noticed it.
According to the University's Clery Act Annual Security Report, there were 115 referrals made for drug violations in on campus residence halls in 2006. In 2007, the number was the same. But in 2008 it climbed to 244 and in 2009 dipped only slightly to 238.
In contrast, the number of alcohol violations has been on the decline: from 1.051 in 2006 to 8>> in 2009.
The 2010 numbers were not available because the report will not be released until this summer.

Public weighs in on library changes
Steve Clark, a representative of the GouldEvens architecture firm, answers questions about the new Lawrence Public Library construction plans Monday Night. Members of the community voiced concerns ranging from the buildings poor acoustics to the accessibility of the new parking garage.
BY JONATHAN SHORMAN ishrorman@kansan.com
Architects and city officials took suggestions from the public for the planned expansion of the Lawrence Public Library Monday evening. Around 30 residents attended.
Representatives of the architecture firm GouldEvans took questions on a number of issues related to the expansion, from parking to trees.
Voters approved the $18 million project in November. It is still in the conceptual phase, and a final design has not been made. The city and GouldEvans have held a series of public meetings to gather public input on what should be
in the final design.
Though it is not finalized, any design is expected to expand the library by 20,000 square feet, a new parking garage and add 100 new public computers.
"We're building the design from the inside out," said GouldEvans representative Steve Clark.
Currently, a multilevel parking garage will be built on the site of the current parking lot. The number of levels in the garage has not been determined, but Clark estimated it would have between 250 and 300 spaces.
Clark also said officials were working with researchers at the University to incorporate new materials into the building that
The city expects the project to be conducted in phases to allow the library to remain open. Construction is expected to begin in early 2013.
"In my opinion, we can do better for our transit riders for where they can wait for their rides," said Dave Cortliss, Lawrence city manager.
Several attendees at the meeting asked about the possibility that Lawrence Transit would have a hub next to the library. The city is conducting a study to see how feasible that plan is. A hub would likely include a waiting room and restrooms for riders.

Even though every state in the continental United States has received some federal subsidies for corn since 1995, they have mostly gone to the mid-west. This map shows the total corn subsidies a state has received from 1995 to 2009. Iowa and Illinois have received the most, followed closely by Indiana, Minnesota and Nebraska.

40% = Percentage of sweeteners made from High Fructose Corn Syrup
79lbs= The amount of High Fructose Corn Syrup Americans ate each year (USDA,2003)
92% = Percentage of fast food beef found to be entirely corn fed in a 2008 study.
This was one of the central messages of the documentary King Corn, which KU Environs screened Monday night at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. The documentary detailed ways corn is used and processed, the prevalence of corn in the American diet and the government subsidization of the corn industry.
"Even just watching that movie I think I learned a lot," said Emily Katz, a sophomore from Overland Park. Katz was one of the 325 people who attended the movie screening. "It's crazy to think how much corn is in what you eat ... I really think people should be more aware about this stuff and what they are putting in their body."
This was the kind of discussion KU Environs, a campus group that promotes awareness about environmental issues, hoped to prompt with the event.
"It introduces you to something you know so well, but in such a different way." Kim Scherman, a junior from Eudora and KU Environs officer, said. "It is really amazing how much corn is in our lives. We are not trying to say anything bad or judge corn. We just want to promote discussion."
According to Aaron Heckman chief operating officer for Eckan, the community action agency which oversees Just Food, the food bank had set a goal raising $100,000 in order to sustain services and keep the organization running.
If we are what we eat, then most Americans are made of corn.
"I am ecstatic," Draskovich said. "I am so grateful. What else can I say? They called and asked if their fundraiser would help, and I said of course it would help."
With Just Food still needing to raise $43,000 to reach its goal, volunteer Terry Draskovich said the fundraiser was a welcome help.
Besides facilitating discussion, the event served as a fundraiser for
Movie goers Monday night not only had a chance to see a cheap movie and help out a food pantry, but to get a free burrito and win prizes donated by Lawrence businesses. Those attending the event received gift cards for free burritos from Chipotle. They could also enter a drawing to win prizes such as dinner for two at Free State Brewing Company, two $50 gift certificates to Tellers and four free yoga classes from Southwind
The food pantry faced a large budget shortfall after the Stimulus payments, which provided the initial income to start the organization, expired in December.
Just Food, a local food bank that distributed food to more than 2,000 people in the Lawrence area last month. KU Environs asked for a $3 donation from movie-goers and promised to give 70 percent of the $1050 raised Monday night or $735 to Just Food.
Hjersted said that the Films for Action website Lawrence.filmsforaction.org features around 700 documentaries, which visitors can view for free.
51¢ = The per gallon federal tax credit for blending ethanol.
(i.e. a 10% ethanol blend = 5.1 cents subsidy)
After the documentary finished, Curt Ellis, one of the documentary creators, addressed the crowd via Skype. The crowd had a chance to ask Ellis questions about the film.
Health Collective.
The other 30 percent of the money raised by the event went to Films For Action, a community group that co-sponsored and promoted the event. The group screens documentaries and operates a website to promote awareness on environmental, social and political issues.
"Well it's an amazing film and we are always looking to partner with other groups willing to do film screenings" said Tim Hijersed project director for Films for Action.
"Becoming a policy advocate, that what's we wanted people to think about after seeing our film, 'what are the polices that drive people to grow more corn?'," said Ellis when answering the question of what he wanted people to learn from the film. "Government subsidies are the kind of things we reward through our tax dollars and they have a big influence on what we eat in America and what we farm."

Show features new book designs
BY STEPHANIE SCHULTZ
sschultz@kansan.com
For those passionate about the design and decor of books, an easy choice is in town: the 2010 American University Presses book, jacket and journal show.
The University Press originated in 1946 at the University, and the design show has been hosted on campus every year since the 1980s, said Sara Henderson White, assistant to the director at the University Press of Kansas.
"We want the public to have the opportunity to see the books that we publish and appreciate the care, the thought, and the design elements that go into producing a book." White said.
More than 550 entries from the 2009 will be be judged during the show. The winning books of the traveling show are brought to the University Press's annual meeting, White said.
Then the books travel to five different destinations, including
Lawrence.
"University Presses are able to say ahead of time if they want to host the show," White said. "It comes every spring and we get it from wherever it came last."
The entries were separated into categories that included scholarly and trade typographic and illustrated, poetry and literature, reference, and journal. Afterward, four judges decide the winning designs for each category.
"They go to the offices in New York of the association and they look over hundreds of books"
White said. "They spend two days going through those books until they come up with the ones they deem the winners."
This year, 56 books and journals and 40 jackets and covers are on display in the University Press of Kansas building. They will remain on display until April 8.

The United States produces nearly as much corn as the rest of the world combined. in 2005, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Illinois together produce more corn than any single country. The graph to the left shows that more than half of the corn grown that year was used for animal feed. The rest was either exported or used for food, seed or industrially (which includes ethanol production).

slight disappointment and a slightly larger disappointment. And in the last few weeks he's become one of the more polarizing directors out there.
But now things really get interesting for Zack Snyder.
The provocative filmmaker will in a few months begin shooting "Superman: Man of Steel," a reboot of perhaps the most beloved character in the
history of movies. But just where exactly do Snyder's fan cachet, and box-office drawing power, lie in the wake of this past weekend's "Sucker Punch"?
It's hard to say where the road turns next for Snyder. Warner Bros., which is behind both "Superman" and "Sucker Punch," drew a distinction between the two films, with Jeff Goldstein, executive vice president of dis-

Amy Kaufman that "a film like 'Sucker Punch' brought out (Snyder's) core fan base, but he has a lot of potential, and with a bigger, broader title, he can attract a wider audience, as he has in the past."
Still, once a filmmaker loses currency with the fan community, it's not always easy to get it back. Snyder has his work cut out for him.

Montana business is booming - literally
HAMILTON, Mont. — A Ra-
dioShack in Montana is offering
would-be satellite television customers more bang for their buck.
The Ravalli Republic reports customers who sign up for some Dish Network packages at RadioShack in Hamilton will receive a coupon for a pistol or shotgun and the required background check. Those not interested in a gun get a $50 Pizza Hut gift card.
Store owner Steve Strand said it took some haggling to get Dish Network to go along with the promotion, but it has tripled his business since last October.

I dare one of you to step on that court against Morningstar, Reed, the twins, or anyone else on the Jayhawk team. Any takers? Didn't think so.
Every time I say, "You're my favorite," I really mean, "I love you." I'm just afraid to say it.
Look on the bright side. The Royals start the season on Thursday. World Series here we come!

Man it's good to be back, I missed you, Lawrence!
Seriously, what happened to White Owl?
A true fan doesn't become disheartened by a loss and can make fun of it the moment it happens.
ONE MORE YEAR! ONE MORE YEAR!
ONE MORE YEAR!
So what, do we only love our team when they're winning games? I can't believe that some of you call yourselves KU fans. A true KU fan would love and support their team through both the ups and downs and wouldn't complain about it.
No I'm not crying because KU lost...
ooooh these damn onions!
Get over it. It's not like you were the one on the court. Your life WILL go on, believe it or not.
When all else fails, remember that at least we are not K-State.

You're a dirty pirate hooker!
I'm engaged!
I just did the math for all the bills I've paid recently...and I discovered my roommates owe me $183.18 EACH!
The saddest part about the loss is it will be 20 years before we get to play them again.
Sometimes, I wonder why I got sober, there's no fun in that life.

Meet Lawrence leaders and get active in the LGBT community
QUEER CULTURE
Lawrence is holding its first lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LBGT) summit tonight, and everyone who is interested should totally come.
The purpose of the conference is to raise awareness of issues affecting the LGBT community to the public and local public officials, as well as contribute to the overall development of the community.
I've always thought of KU/Lawrence as the "Berkeley" of the Midwest, in terms of its liberal atmosphere at least (I mean... we also probably have an almost proportionate number of homeless people and sketchy bars as San Francisco, right?). This event is a big step toward advancing the social and political interests of a salient

minority in our local community.
military in our local community. Several city commission and school board candidates will be attending, as well as at least one current state representative and one Lawrence school board member, among others. Speakers will be discussing issues such as bullying and gender identity, including personal stories from local
members of the LGBT community (Who doesn't love a good "gay" story? — repressed feelings, crazy parents, social exile — it's good stuff people).
But these talks are not just for queers. Although the event is centered on queer issues, it's important even for people who are not members of the queer community to feel welcomed. Exposing people to information to which they are not normally exposed only creates more enriching and effective dialogue.
Come out to Maceli's tonight and support LGBT issues, listen, have a drink (for those are of age, of course). It's a great way to educate yourself and be a more active member of the community.
Lawrence's LGBT Summit
Where: Maceli's 1031 New Hampshire
When: Today, 7 to 9:30 p.m
Cost: Free
Some Topics to be Discussed:
School bullying; gender identity inclusion, LGBT community issues, mental health effects of a inclusive community

HUMAN RIGHTS
Self-reflection, examination helps everyone make better decisions
A
Usually we start with emotions, intuitions and pre-set rules. These good basic guides have serious limitations. What if society's consensus about what is right is actually ill-founded? What if generations have routinely accepted a norm without examination?
BY HANNAH SANDAL
hsandal@kansan.com
How do we tell the difference between right and wrong? Should we even bother asking?
Rational inquiry is the missing piece. With it, we might discover that original justifications for a routinely accepted rule have withered (or were never robust). Such a rule of behavior is at best useless and at worst counterproductive and harmful.
The philosopher Jeremy Bentham rigorously examined — and encouraged others to examine — many issues. He observed changing ideas about race and said: "It may one day come to be recognized that the number of legs ... or the termination of the os sacrum are reasons equally insufficient [as skin color of humans] to abandoning a sensitive being ['to the caprice of a tormentor']." He saw that societies' notions of justice change over time.
Racial and gender discrimination are examples of ill-founded societal norms that were taken for granted. But, people critically examined and controversially rejected stale old norms. They chose to act according to their conscience and reason.
This is why I have written about the morality of meat-eating. Many people consume animals without carefully examining whether they should. Lori Gruen, a philosophy professor at Wesleyan University, noted that people are disconnected from the raising of animals for food. She writes that "the sympathy that people might naturally feel toward a being who is suffering... would probably cause most to object to these institutions." What is lacking is a rigorous examination of the factual and rational issues involved.
This examination is our lifeboat in a sea of societal and historical directives for behavior. Well-meaning people may make choices that hurt others, and those decisions often could be avoided by reflecting on everyday behavior-guiding principles. We each have a responsibility to use our intellects to determine whether society's laws, rules, norms - and ultimately, our own behavior - are actually just.
Many people have responded to my piece about meat-eating. Some brought robust discourse. We discussed facts and logic. We examined rationally-grounded counter-arguments. Many responses, however, were emotional, reactionary, defensive, or even vitriolic. They effectively prevented a productive discussion of either side's perspective.
Astrophysicist Carl Sagan observed that “[a]ll of us cherish our beliefs. They are, to a degree, self-defining. When someone
to a degree, self-definition. When someone ... challenges our belief system as insufficiently well-based... [i]t feels like a personal assault." But, Sagan rigorously examined fundamental ideas anyway. Openly confronting our ideas and beliefs can at times be uncomfortable. It can also put us more in touch with who we are and who we aspire to be.
Many aspire to peace and happiness; to loving everyone, even enemies. They aspire to feel compassion for the downtrodden and suffering, regardless of differences in nationality, economic class, or species. With honest and logical examination of ourselves and society, we can explore ideas and practices that might impede achievement of such goals.
The ancient Greek scholar Pythagoras saw meat-eating as an impediment to peace. He wrote: "As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap the joy of love."
For millennia, individuals like Pythagoras, Bentham, Sagan and Gruen have examined and discoursed with peers about the big questions. This is how we learn from each other, sharpen our understanding, and overcome obstacles to the pursuit of our highest aspirations. This is how we advance. Utilize your intellect and reason. Engage each other. Tackle big questions. And find big answers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
As we mourn our basketball loss, our great tradition remains strong
"I don't want to talk about it."
That is the sentence I have heard 9 times in my first three classes on Monday. A loss is a loss and it's understandable to be disappointed over the tournament loss, but I'm disappointed mostly at the student body for their attitude toward the loss. The students I've talked to are acting like entitled children who didn't get what they wanted for Christmas.
People, we have won our seventh straight conference championship. We won 35 games and only lost three. That is a winning percentage of over 90 percent. We're upset!! We can't expect a monopoly on NCAA 'titles; that will only set us up for failure.
It should be OUR sole responsibility as students and as fans to support the Jayhawks rather than sitting around having a pity party because our team didn't win it all. We should be proud that we are capable of recruiting talent like the
Morris brothers. We get nowhere by moping around. We have history, we have great sports, we have 30+ win seasons, and dammit, I say we have honor, too. I was raised in a Jayhawk-loving house and one of the greatest lessons I was taught is to take big losses with a grain of salt.
I say this all with hope — hope with a little bit of confidence — that we will come back next November just as loud as we were this season, just as loud as we were last season, and so on. Kansas basketball is resilient; we can come back with power year after year. Fans, students, don't take for granted what we have. Kansas is special, and while we won't win the tournament every year, we always bounce back.

Actively helping others can bring new perspectives to students
Like some students do during spring break, I decided to head south to enjoy a week of warm weather. But while others were at the beach, I was on a mission trip in San Antonio with the campus ministry WesleyKU. I found out quickly that it is tough giving up a week of relaxation to help others. However, this past week meant more to me than any other throughout the year.
I got to see what true selfless love looks like through organizations such as the Catholic Worker, an organization that helps the homeless by building relationships with them, and the San Antonio Food Bank, which has hundreds of volunteers that help serve 58,000 people in southwest Texas facing emergency food needs. I was amazed at how much people gave of their prayers.
gifts and service to help others in need. The simple idea of unbidden kindness that I saw when helping various organizations in San Antonio is one I think we need to implement here at the University more often. The idea of putting others before oneself in a society where the predominant thought is me, myself and I is a lot harder than it sounds. The simplest acts, such as
BY ALLISON POWERS
BY ALLISON BOND abond@kansan.com
To really advance unbidden kindness at the University and in our community, there are several organizations that students can get involved in to help promote simplicity, social justice and sustainability. Just by the giving of your time to organizations such as the KU Campus Community Garden, the Center for Community Outreach and the Lawrence Community Shelter is a big step to showing others kindness.
Getting involved in these organizations, as well as others, can help shape you as well. Volunteering forces people
opening the door for others, smiling or being more courteous to others while driving around town, can make the biggest difference to someone's day. However, I believe a lot of us need to go a step further.
to open their minds to the world around them. It is no longer just you in the world; there are over six billion people, many of whom need help. It all starts with the willingness to put others before yourself by giving of your prayers, gifts and service. And once you realize the importance of helping others, blessings and challenges that will help strengthen you are sure to follow.

POT (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Jennifer Wamelink, associate director for residence life, acknowledged a rise in referrals for drug violations. Referrals occur when a Residence Assistant or other housing official "refers" a student believed to be violating a policy to a hearing officer. At a hearing, officials determine whether the student actually violated policy.
"I think we're seeing more marijuana usage." Wamelink said. "I think that is the case and the majority of (drug violations) are going to be marjuana."
wamelink said it is the housing's policy to call the KU Public Safety Office when staff members believe a drug violation is occurring. In 2009, while 238 housing referrals were made for drug violations, only 17 drug-related arrests were made.
Wamelink said the discrepancy
occurs because police and housing have different standards for taking action. Students are also not required to open doors for staff and police cannot typically enter rooms without a warrant.
"You may have some surrounding information about the odor of marijuana and other factors that would make you think drug use is happening," said Wamelink. "That might be enough for us to act on but not for Public Safety."
IS IT REALLY THAT BAD?
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), studies show that most individuals start with marijuana and build up to other illegal drugs.
Tim, who has tried cocaine, said that he did not believe marijuana was a gateway drug and that he did not try other drugs because of marijuana.
The NIDA estimates that nine percent of marijuana users become
addicted. When smoking pot, the heart rate can increase between 20 and 100 percent and the affects can last up to three hours.
Still, Tim views marijuana use as a safer, less destructive alternative to alcohol.
"First off, drinking sucks," Tim said. "People go out and get fucking shiftfaced and they come back and puke their brains out and wake up the next morning and feel like garbage. None of that with pot."
Tom Hall, Kansas City Kansas Community College addiction counseling coordinator, said that when individuals lose jobs or fall behind in school because of marijuana, it's a problem.
"While marijuana is controversial, it's not controversial if you've got a problem," he said.
In student housing, drugs and alcohol are treated differently. Students are placed on probation for the first drug violation, while students are placed on probation after the second alcohol violation.

"Any drug use is always illegal, but not all alcohol use is always illegal," Wamelink said. "Some is just policy, so we do handle sanctions differently."
Tim said that he was content with his marijuana use and that he would keep smoking, at least for the foreseeable future.
"I can maybe imagine a time in the future when I don't do it anymore," he said. "But I like it
Marijuana contains the active ingredient THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). When smoked, THC is absorbed through the lungs into the bloodstream and to the brain and other organs. Inside the brain, THC affects the following areas:
Where marijuana affects the brain
VENTRAL STRIATUM
Marijuana can cause a sense of euphoria by affecting this area, which controls feelings of rewards.
NEOCORTEX
This area is responsible for sensory information and higher cognitive functions.
BASAL GANGLIA
This area regulates motor skills, planning and the starting and stopping of actions.
AMYGDALA
This small area is in charge of your anxiety, emotion and fear.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Honorable race tests endurance
kuathletics.com
MORNING BREW
Gallant mushers and packs of dogs charge through mountainous tundra, frozen rivers and thick snow-coated forests in subzero temperatures from Anchorage, Ala., to the state's western Bering Sea coast in Nome (a more than 1,100 mile journey).
These dogs aren't your neighbor's chihuahua.
They're the warriors of The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, a competition dubbed by some as the "Last Great Race on Earth."
No one has prevailed faster than John Baker and his dogs, who finished the March 2011 race in a record 8 days, 18 hours, 46 minutes and 39 seconds.
THE MORNING BREW
CARLOTTE
Ramey Smyth and his team finished the race slightly more than an hour behind Baker. Both mushers trumped the former record from 2002 of 8 days, 22 hours, 46 minutes, and 2 seconds, set by four-time champion Martin Buser of Switzerland.
But more than just the fastest are honored in this potentially fatal race. Fierce winds can blind the musher. The wind chill can drop temperatures to 100 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. So the last musher to cross the finish line is honored with the Red Lantern Award. After enduring such conditions for longer than any other musher, an award seems fitting. It also serves as a testament to how impressive it is to simply finish the race. Ellen Halverson finished this
The Vaults will keep the dog theme going and honor the passing of the G-Funk king. Nate Dogg, a west coast hip-hop pioneer and hit-maker, died of heart failure and complications from previous strokes on March 15. To remember Nate Dogg, here are some of his greatest tracks.
The Iditarod isn't your typical sporting event. It seemingly never ends. Your life is in the hands of the virulent forces of Alaskan nature. Your dogs and the thought of the finish line are all you've got. To finish this race takes a different kind of courage.

year's race in 13 days, 19 hours and 24 minutes. She became the first musher to take the Red Lantern Award twice.
...This is one of the best songs from "2001" (also known as "The Second Chronic") ,one of the best West Coast
albums of all-time. Nate follows Snoop and Dre just when you think the song is over.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey..." Well, you know how it goes from there.
"Regulators" (with Warren G)
...This one is old school G-Funk at its finest. The beat is smooth and in no hurry, like Nate's soulful vocals and Warren G's raps that mesh perfectly.
MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS
"Never Leave Me Alone" (with Snoop Dogg)
...Not nearly as popular as the previous two, this solo act is my personal favorite. The song showcases Nate's gospel influences, rather than push it to the side for a money-making hook. The lyrics provide a proper send-off.

Day one of Kansas' 2011-12 season was yesterday. As one ends, so begins the next. But a season can't start without a team, and the Jayhawks are far from set on that front.
from set on that front.
Before Kansas can plan and prognosticate for 2011, it needs to know the decisions of the five Jayhawks who could bolt early for professional careers: Thomas Robinson, Tyshawn Taylor, Josh Selby and, of course, the Morris twins. Marcus Morris, who was recently named a second team All-American by the United States Basketball Writers Association and the Associated Press, is the top prospect for this year. Held likely be a lottery pick — one of the first 14 picks — if he left.
All five said they haven't come to a decision yet, and Taylor was the only one to suggest that he had a pretty good idea of what it would be. Taylor is thought of as likely to return to Kansas because his draft prospects are far more uncertain than the others'.
the others.
"I really don't think I'm one of those guys who's got to make a decision," he said. "Everybody knows who the guys who have to make the decision are. I think know what I'm going to do, but that's not really my focus right now."
that's not really my focus right. The Morris twins both said they'd talk it over with each other, their mother, Angel, and coach Bill Self. Markieff is regarded as only a slightly worse prospect than his brother. He's projected to go anywhere in the mid to late first round.
Robinson said he hadn't thought about it, but when pressed for something more, he said his family will play a role in his decision as well.
go anywhere in the middle and this team," Markieff said. "That's the main thing."
If the twins left, Robinson would step into a role as the focal point of the Kansas offense and improve his draft stock, but the security that an NBA contract would provide him and his sister may be too much to pass up. He's projected as a mid to late first round prospect as well.
"Whatever's best for me and my family," he said, "that's what I'm going to do."
going to do. Selby also said he hasn't considered his future, but acknowledged that he had a decision to make in the coming weeks.
The 2011 draft class is widely thought of as a weak one, and Jared Sullinger's return to Ohio State only weakens it further. Because so many players could be put off by the im p en d i n g threat of an NBA lockout, those who do declare would benefit from getting picked earlier in the draft, which, of course, leads to a bigger contract.

Former Jayhawk Talib investigated after shooting
According to reports from the St. Petersburg Times and The Dallas Observer, former Jayhawk and current Tampa Bay Buccaneer
BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
Aqib Talbil is a person of interest in a March 21 shooting in Garland, Texas, involving his mother, his sister and his sister's boyfriend.
JOHN MARTIN
Several shots
Talib
several shots were fired after a struggle between Talib and the boyfriend, Shannon Billings, who was seen fleeing from the scene on foot.
Talib, who lives in North Dallas,
arrived at the home of his sister,
Saran, during a domestic dispute
between she and Billings. Then, according to Billings' comments to the police, Talib brandished a handgun and attempted to strike Billings. A struggle ensued, in which Billings grabbed the gun and began to flee. Talib's mother, Okolo, produced her own gun and fired three shots at Billings before Talib grabbed the gun from his mother and fired two more shots, according to police reports and witness accounts.
According to Dallas Jail records, Billings was later arrested on unrelated charges of interfering with an emergency call and assault with bodily injury, with bond set at $2500.
The Garland Police Department noted that detectives will soon decide if charges will be brought upon Talib or anyone else involved in the shooting.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Since being drafted by the Buccaneers in 2008, Talib has been involved in numerous off-the-field situations, including a fight at the 2008 rookie symposium hosted by the NFL and multiple fights with Buccaneer teammates. Additionally, he received a battery charge last year following a fight with a St. Petersburg cab driver. Talib received community service for the charge and attended anger management classes. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Talib for one game for the incident.

It is not known if Goodell will take action for the latest off-the-field transgression, but his strict reputation as commissioner could lead to another fine and/or suspension for the former Jayhawk.

COMMENTARY
Seniors worthy of love
Joseph P.
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
So this is how it ends.
For Tyshawn Taylor,
Thomas Robinson, Josh
Selby and the Morris twins,
maybe not yet. They've got some
time to decide on the NBA.
For seniors Mario Little, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed, their time is done.
Little served as a valuable swingman off the bench who could stretch the floor or play in the paint. But he's somewhat replaceable. It may be difficult to find a similar disposition, but there are others with Little's style of play.
But how do you replace Morningstar and Reed? They aren't exactly your typical recruits.
Sons of the Sunflower State.
Models of fundamentals. Divers for loose balls. Consistency kings — at least until Sunday.
There's no way to be nice about it — both guards stunk it up when their team needed them most.
1
them team needed.
The usually cool Morningstar seemed rattled. He still had that "just hopped out of bed" look, but this time he awoke to nightmares.
He was a creative passer, a judicious ball-handler who could play point or shooting guard, and his rainbow jump-shot always looked good rolling off his hand.
On the court, Morningstar was the defensive ace. Pin him against Alec Burks, Jordan Hamilton or Jacob Pullen. Some scoring is inevitable, but he'll stick to offensive stalwarts like a fresh band-aid.
good training for him.
Reed was a worthy fan favorite. He passed up an offer from Stanford to play for Kansas. He was the closest we had to a sure thing at the free throw line. He was downright deadly from three-point range. He was a model student — a two-time member of the Academic All-Big 12 First Team. He was justly chosen as a finalist for the Lowe's Senior CLASS award that honors student athletes who achieve excellence in "community, classroom, character and competition." He is also, simply put, a really nice guy.
His lobs to the post often fell short, like his overall performance.
He needed a compass to find his jump-shot. His sluggish defensive transitions resulted in several open looks for Virginia Commonwealth three-point shooters.
It is unparalleled to find two Kansas natives representing the state's most meaningful team. And these guys played their roles to near perfection.
Sunday's game may stain our mind for years. But no matter the paltry play of Morningstar and Reed on Sunday, don't allow one stinker to tarnish what should be a rare and golden legacy.
Yet somehow, Reed might have been worse.
Morningstar and Reed converted just 2 of 16 shots, or 12.5 percent. The television talking heads were right; Kansas' guards led to its demise.
Sure, Morningstar and Reed didn't have their best against Virginia Commonwealth. But don't let it taint their legacy. Not one game. Remember them for what they did over the years, not for what they didn't on Sunday.

MARCH 30 - APRIL 5
SHAUNA BLACKMON

This week, students will be taking to the streets, but not for basketball or a downtown parade. Instead, hundreds of students will come together to raise awareness of social issues in the community and help those in need.
Into the Streets Week, hosted by the Center for Community Outreach, is an annual event "dedicated to promote volunteerism and civic engagement on campus and in Lawrence," Megan Watson, co-coordinator of the event, said.
The week kicks off at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the Lied Center with a lecture from Greg Mentionson, coauthor of New York Times bestseller "Three Cups of Tea." Mortenson's book recounts his failed attempt to climb the world's second-highest mountain, K2 in Pakistan, and how, after becoming weak and lost on his descent and receiving aid from a village in Pakistan, he was inspired to construct more than 170 schools in some of the most remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
On his website, Mortenson says he hopes, with this book and his work, to replace guns with pencils, rhetoric with reading and books with bombs. Students can pick up a
free ticket for the lecture in the SUA office in the Kansas Union.
Into the Streets Week is focused on what is called The Big Event, a one-day service project that originated at Texas A&M in 1982 and is new to the University this year. With the help of Student Senate and Student Union Activities, volunteers will meet at the Memorial Stadium at 10 a.m. Thursday to be assigned a volunteer project for the day.
"We want to introduce students to something they wouldn't have
otherwise known about," Watson said. "It's important to give back to the community we are so a part of."
the community we work in.
Amilia Winter, a freshman from Kansas City, Kan., is trying to involve her sorority, Kappa Delta, in different projects throughout the week.
"I think it is great for students to be involved; this is a time when we are growing and really entering society. We are the future of the United States, and in order to be successful we need to understand what is going on around us," Winter said.
Students have multiple opportunities to volunteer throughout the week and most days have multiple events. Some events are smaller and will only take a few hours, like the benefit show at the Jackpot on Friday, where hip-hop artists Ben Kress, Dutch Newman and Soul Servers will perform. Some projects are a little larger, such as the Fast for Change, which will also be on Friday. The students who choose to fast for the day will donate the money they would have otherwise
spent on food to Jubilee Café, which feeds Lawrence's homeless.
"To make a change, one has to start with themselves and the community around them," Winter said. "So as a campus, we students should be aware of our city, not just the campus. We live in Lawrence and make up a lot of the people in this town, so we should help out and take care of it."

Work limits GTA union's political involvement

Jay LaPrete/ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO
While new legislation around the country, from Wisconsin to Kansas, has targeted labor unions, one group at the University of Kansas has reason to pay special attention.
SAVE Collective Bargaining in Dale
It's About Freedom!
AFSCE
Jay LaPrete/ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO
Tom Fagan, of Dayton, protests against Senate Bill 5 at the Ohio statehouse yesterday in Columbus, Ohio. The bill would strip public employees of collective bargaining rights.
The Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition (GTAC) acts as a union for all teaching assistants at the University. Teaching assistants at the University have been able to bargain for contracts since 1994. Since then, TAs have gained healthcare, a minimum salary and other benefits.
Melinda Toumi, a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute for Advancing Medical Applications - a KU program, is the GTAC treasurer. She said that although the union negotiates a contract for all teaching assistants, only a small number actually belong to the union.

Anti-union sentiment makes organizing at the University diffi-

Raising awareness and appreciation for labor unions is a challenge to GTAC, Toumi said.
recent legislation, through posts and links on its Facebook page.
"The biggest problem we face at GTAC is that people in academia aren't always familiar with labor unions, and unless you're a history professor, you may not know they've given us the 40-hour work week, overtime, pay and safety regulations, the weekend, all these things that make working not slavery and even enjoyable." Toumi said.
Though Toumi said most members of GTAC had not been politically active regarding recent legislation because of how much work graduate students have, the Kansas Association of Public Employees (KAPE), which is affiliated with GTAC, has pushed back against
In Kansas, a bill moving through the legislature, HB 2130, would prohibit unions from using paycheck deductions from members for political activity. The bill has passed the House and is in the Senate.
Supporters of the bill say it gives workers more choice in how they spend their paycheck.
"While this is a tremendous step toward increasing personal freedom, it also reduces the cost of labor in the state, making Kansas a competitive location for business which in turn results in more Kansas jobs." Rep. Terry Calloway said in a statement.
In Wisconsin, Democratic lawmakers left the state to prevent legislation that will end the ability of public employee unions to bargain for benefits other than wages. The bill eventually passed, though its implementation has been halted by
a restraining order.
Back on campus, Toumi said her main desire was to see fair agreements between teaching assistants and the school.
"What I would like to see is teaching assistants and their employers coming to an agreement that they both can agree upon and have that agreement honored," Toumi said.

KU on Wheels might add West Clinton Parkway route
Some of the apartment complexes that would benefit with the addition of the new route include: Quail Creek, The Greens at Alvamar, Parkway Commons, Lorimar Townhomes, Legends Place, Remington Square and The Grove.
The finance committee approved the plan last night. It will move to Full Senate on April 6. If the plan passes Full Senate, it will be put on the Student Senate election ballot to be voted on by students April 13-14.
A proposed increase of $7.80 to the campus transportation fee would add a bus route along west Clinton Parkway next school year.

—Source: Derek Meier, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels
2,000 students would be served every 20 minutes on a route that covers 9.5 miles, 180,000 times a year.
The plan would require an increase in student fees of $7.80 beginning next school year. The campus transportation fee would rise from $87.30 to $95.10.

Shark jumps into fishermen's boat
FREEPORT, Texas — It's the catch of a lifetime, but it's not clear whether a Texas fisherman landed an 8-foot shark or it landed him.
Jason Kresse, 29, of Freeport, and two crew members had been fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.
"All of a sudden something hit the side of the boat," Kresse said. "He ends up landing on the back of the boat."
Kresse said he and his crew couldn't get close to the 375-pound fish to toss it back in the water. It damaged the boat before dying several hours later.

2010 Census shows Kansas' population has grown more urban, diverse

Kansas' population over the past 10 years is marked by a migration out of rural counties and into more urban and suburban counties. Johnson County grew 20.9 percent to 544,179 residents, making it the largest county in the state and representing nearly one-fifth of the entire state's population. Douglas County grew by 10.9 percent over the past ten years, the county's slowest growth since 1940.

Since the last United States Census in 2000, Kansas' population has grown by 164,700 people, an increase of 6.1 percent. The majority of this growth has been among minorities, especially hispanic populations which grew by 59 percent, beating estimates by more than 10 percent. Nearly seven of every 10 new Kansas residents over the past 10 years are of Hispanic origin. As a share of the state's total population, minorities represent nearly 20 percent, up from around 15 percent in 2000.

Student Rights Committee keeps Court of Appeals
STUDENT SENATE
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com
The Student Rights Committee voted against legislation last night that would have disbanded the Student Senate Court of Appeals.
The bill, which was proposed by Student Body President Michael Wade Smith and Senior Sen. Mark Pacey, would have restored judicial authority to the Student Executive Committee.
Smith said the Student Executive Committee's makeup gives it a "deep and intimate knowledge of the rules and regulations because we created them."
Opponents feared that if judicial
Felix Zacharias, a first-year graduate student from Wichita, prepared a negative speech to be read to committee members at the meeting because he could not be present.
In his statement, Zacharias said disbanding the court of appeals would be "unethical, unwise and undemocratic."
In 2009 when Student Body President Adam McGonigle suspended treasurer Alex Porte, a quickfix solution wasn't readily available
and resulted in the birth of the court of appeals. Non-traditional student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, said he had multiple concerns with giving the judicial authority back to the committee.
"I believe the court of appeals is a new body that has not been given the chance to evolve into what the designers wanted it to be," Harris said.
The remaining Student Senate committee meetings of the semester will deal with nominations for upcoming Senate elections.

READERSHIP PROGRAM
There is no plan at the University to allow students to receive online access to these articles.
The Newspaper Readership Program, which is funded by Student Senate via student fees, provides students with access to several newspapers, including the New York Times. David Cohen, student senate assistant treasurer, said the current contract the University holds with the Times is a print-product contract. This means that the program does not provide access to online materials.

Janet Jackson making a comeback
BY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
ST. LOUIS - It looks as if Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction-induced exile from music's top tier is finally lifting.
It's about time.
She had a successful run that exploded with her album "Control" in 1986, and "All for You" (2001) — featuring the title track, "Son of a Gun" and "Someone to Call My Lover" — carried her into the 2000s.
But midway through the decade, things went into a tail-spin for Michael Jackson's youngest sister.
Unless you've been in Rip Van Winkle mode, you remember her Super Bowl halftime show in 2004 — perhaps the most talked-about halftime show ever.
Jackson performed danceheavy renditions of her hits "All for You" and "Rhythm Nation before Justin Timberlake joined her for his song "Rock Your
Suddenly, "Nipplegate" and "wardrobe malfunction" were introduced into our collective vocabularies.
The FCC threw a record $550,000 fine at CBS, which aired the game. An apologetic Jackson, who absorbed the blame while Timberlake walked away clean, was the subject of punchlines for years.
Body." When the song culminated with, "I bet I'll have you naked by the end of this song," Timberlake ripped a piece of fabric away from Jackson's costume, and a barely covered breast rolled out.
And seemingly simultaneously, the big hits stopped coming.
"Damita Jo," released a few months after the Super Bowl, managed to sell a million copies, but it was her lowest-selling album in years, despite contributions on the album from Kanye West.
Then there were the disappointing sales of follow-up albums "20 Y.O." (2006) and "Discipline" (2008), which failed to produce the hit singles that previously had streamed from her albums.
RUDY'S PIZZERIA
"VOTED BEST PIZZA IN LAWRENCE"
A surprise appearance on "American Idol" last year, where she performed her new ballad "Nothing," proved there's still a lot of love out there for her.
And her latest album, a double-disc greatest-hits compilation,
"Number Ones," released five months after brother Michael's death, paved the way for her new "Up Close and Personal" tour, which skips the arenas and flashy shows in favor of smaller venues.
WEDNESDAY SPECIAL
The Boston Globe said Jackson left fans hungry for more and that it was an evening to remember.
And reviews have been generally positive.
Meanwhile, Jackson made a smart move by returning to one of her earliest loves, acting. She headlined movies "Why Did I Get Married?" (2007), "Why Did I Get Married Too?" (2010) and "For Colored Girls" (2010).

publishing. Her new book, "True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourself", is a New York Times best-seller.
She has also ventured into
The Chicago Tribune wrote: "There's no better way for a performer to remind the world that she's still kicking than a tightly choreographed greatest-hits show, and that's exactly what Jackson delivered. ... In the more scaled-down setting, Jackson brought a warmth and a passion that wasn't always evident in stadiums."

The New York Times said her show is "just about the realest, most clear-minded retrospective she could do."
It looks as if she's on her way back - in more ways than one.

ENVIRONMENT
In a sea of media that love to focus on backward ways and broken systems, it's nice to come across a positive message now and then. Surprisingly, this one involves education, the environment and $100 million.
The No Child Left Inside bill aims to provide funding for state and local environmental education programs. The primary goal of the legislation is to equip future generations with the knowledge of natural ecological systems and an understanding of how human activities impact those environments.
Additionally, research shows that real life experiences make math and science concepts more interesting and relevant. In response to the hyper-focused reading and math curricula prompted by No Child Left
TIM SMITH
BY RAEANE HANDSHY
rhandshy@kansan.com
Behind, 47 states are currently looking to environmental literacy programs to provide more engaging, experiential learning opportunities and expand student awareness of the environmental issues that will impact them in adulthood.
In his book "Last Child in the Woods," Richard Louv compiles research showing that exposure to natural environments improves balance, agility, concentration, self -confidence and resilience against emotional stress. He also cites evidence that time outdoors reduces attention deficit disorder symptoms and other increasingly prevalent childhood emotional disorders like depression and anxiety.
Louv coined the term "nature deficit disorder" to describe the disconnect between modern youth and nature. Maryland Rep. John Sarbanes and Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed introduced the No Child Left Inside legislation to combat the effects of this chasm.
The bill's supporters hope that environmental education curricula will help children to connect with nature, see the relevancy of our ecological resources and become more physically active.
In his book, Louv cites a 2006 Kaiser Family Foundation study showing that "children between the ages of 8 and 18 years old spent an average of nearly 6.5 hours a day plugged in electronically - that is 45 hours per week."
The fact that most kids are surfing the web, playing video games or watching TV instead of exploring in the woods, pretending to be pirates or dissecting beetles means that future generations will be less creative, less active and less appreciative of natural environments.
It is nice to know that reversing this trend is a priority to some of our politicians and our educators.

Loss makes us question how we measure success
How do you measure success?
Do you measure success by
points? By wins? By upsets?
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
points by wins by losses
Do you measure success by banners? By titles? By awards?
By plaques? By trophies? By championships?
Do you measure success by recognition? By how many people measure themselves by your standards? By how many look to you as the standard of excellence?
Do you measure success by the respect you've gained from your opponents? By sportsmanship shown? By lessons learned? By opportunities given? By opportunities taken?
Do you measure success by overcoming any kind of obstacle? By persistence? By indomitable spirit? By dedication? By passion?
Do you measure success by people? By the number of people who will never miss a game? By the number of alumni who will proudly claim you as their alma mater? By how many loyal fans will support you, despite the stormy weather? By how
many will still put on that game day jersey despite the recent loss? By how many pack the stands for every single game? By how many will follow you, no matter how far away, to bring the homecourt advantage to the away game?
Or do you measure success by lives that you've changed? By individuals who have grown and developed into good players, good friends, and good people because you helped them? By the individuals who now have more opportunities in life because you gave them a chance to prove themselves? By the lives that will never be the same because you pushed them? By the lives that will always be intertwined now, because of their shared experiences, their shared losses, their shared victories? By the lives that you've made better?
So, how do you measure success?

Please, excuse me while I throw up.
Does this song, "Friday" by Rebecca Black, really have almost 65 million views on YouTube? It doesn't matter if people like it or dislike it. People are still watching it.
Is a middle-school-aged girl talking about getting ready for the weekend that appealing? Come on. The only thing worse than this girl's singing ability are the lyrics of the song. It's amazing that not only would someone sing this song, but also that someone can get paid to write such crap.
When artists like this make it
Rebecca Black: living proof today's society glorifies the talentless
"It's Friday, Friday; gotta get down on Friday. Everybody's looking forward to the weekend."
BY AARON HARRIS aharris@kansan.com
big, artists with talent lose. People are turning down artists like Alicia Keys and her amazing piano skills for someone who confuses talking with singing, like Ke$ha.
This trend hurts the craft. Before you label yourself a "singer," learn what things like "harmony" and
Our generation has made mediocrity profitable, and the talentless have cashed in. Shows like "16 & Pregnant," "Jersey Shore," and pretty much anything else shown on MTV have made stars out of the talentless people in our society.
"melody" mean. That's like me not knowing what shutter speed is but still calling myself a photographer.
Before, we would have just looked aside and not let it get a pilot.
These shows give laziness hope. I know what Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is thinking, "Real jobs? Why? I have a six-pack. I like to tan. Give me my own show." Does he deserve hope? Say it isn't so.
The viewers who these shows and
artists are marketed toward, who would probably fit right in a "jersey Shore" episode, have been told since they were little that they can be whatever they want to be.
Guess what, you can't. If you can't sing, you probably can't be a singer. If you are horrible at math, well, engineering is out of the question. I'm sorry to have to break this to some people, but as Bobby Bouchey was told, "Momma was wrong."
Just ask Rebecca Black.

@BronxZoosCobra tweets about his daily adventures in the Bronx
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Bronx Zoo may still be looking for its missing cobra, but a tongue-in-cheek Twitter user is charting its supposed progress.
Someone using the handle @ BronxZoosCobra has been tweeting to a quickly growing number of followers — more than 85,000 by early Tuesday evening. In contrast
with the user posing as the 20-inch, highly venomous snake, the Bronx Zoo had about 6,000 followers.
"On top of the Empire State Building!" BronxZoosCobra posted. "All the people look like little
mice down there. Delicious little mice."
Tweets included one about "Sex and the City": "I'm totally a SSSamanta."

"The iPhone touch screen works just as well with a tail," the person said in an email to The Associated Press signed, "Thanksss."

the story.
"Right now," the zoo said, "it's the snake's game."
jeff Corwin, a wildlife expert for the Animal Planet cable network, said the snake may be small but "has very toxic venom" and "should be respected."
It's unlikely that the cobra, accustomed to a subtropical climate, would survive very long in the Northeast cold if it leaves the Reptile House, Corwin said.
Asked how the snake was faring in the cold, the user behind the Twitter account said: "Hiding in passerbys' scarves has been working for me so far, but I'm thinking about heading to a sauna to warm up for a bit."

OKAY, I've been renting from this guy for a few months, and it's not what I thought it would be. My garbage disposal breaks, he shows up 3 weeks later. The "pool" they promised me looked nothing like the picture. Since when does a hole in the ground filled with trash and living things constitute a safe swimming area? Don't even get me started on the walls, it's like a bad horror movie in here.

Purdue coach considers MU
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
KANSAS CITY, Mo. _ Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter has looked into the job at Missouri and will meet Tuesday with Missouri athletic director Mike Alden in Florida to negotiate an agreement that would make Painter the Tigers' next men's basketball coach.
Painter, 40, and his family are vacationing in Florida.
Sources close to Painter told The Kansas City Star on Monday that Painter and MU officials would meet, giving Alden the chance to sell Painter on the school's commitment to making Missouri basketball a consistent player on the national stage.
Painter, as first reported by The Star last week, is high on Missouri's list. But neither Purdue nor Missouri officials have commented.
A source also told The Star on Monday that Painter was assessing the basketball recruiting base in St. Louis and Kansas City.
Eric Long, coach of the AAU St. Louis Eagles, told The Star on Monday night that "getting Matt
Painter as the coach at Missouri would be a home run."
Long also said that Painter, if he took the Missouri job, would experience quick success in opening the talent pipeline from St. Louis to Mizzou.
KC Pump N Run coach L.J. Goolsby told The Star on Monday that he had no recent contact with Painter but that he knows Painter from when he recruited Michael Dixon, a former Pump N Run player who is now a sophomore point guard for Missouri.
"He's a great guy. He works his butt off. He recruits well. He's great at building relationships."
"I think it would be great if he does get it," Goolsby said. "It would be a great hire for Mizzou.
Such relationships are key to stocking Missouri's roster with in-state talent. The Tigers' roster includes Kansas City-area players Dixon, Marcus Denmon, Steve Moore and walk-on Jarrett Sutton, the first three recruited and signed by Mike Anderson before Anderson resigned and took the Arkansas basketball job last week.
Missouri has no players from the St. Louis area, a point of criticism
in Anderson's recruiting efforts.
Painter is expected to receive an offer of at least $2 million a year for seven years from Missouri. That was the figure Missouri had on the table for Anderson before it was withdrawn by Alden when Anderson sought permission last week to talk to Arkansas.
"Matt wants a situation where he will be able to make a run for a national championship," Keady said. "The administration here has to step up and help him."
Keady then added: "I think he'll stay"
Painter has coached Purdue to 25 victories or more in four straight seasons and is a three-time Big Ten Conference coach of the year. One of his former assistants, former Missouri State coach Cuonzo Martin, was announced Monday as Tennessee's replacement for Bruce Pearl.
Martin, 39, is a former player and assistant coach at Purdue and was thought to be a prime candidate to replace Painter there should Painter move to Missouri. Tennessee will pay Martin $1.3 million annually for five seasons.

Ochocinco earns honorary spot on Sporting Kansas City
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After a five-day tryout proved that he was a good teammate who lacked enough soccer skills, NFL star Chad Ochocinco got what he was hoping for Tuesday — a spot on the reserve team for Sporting Kansas City.
City. Now, he'll work out a couple of times a week with the MLS team's reserve squad, which is what he was hoping for all along.
"This is so awesome. I'm an honorary member of Sporting KC and can train with the reserve team as long as I want," Ochocinco said in a
tweet. "Totally awesome, ILuvKC."
sweet. "Totally awesome. ILuvKC. As an honorary member of Sporting KC who plays for the reserve team, the six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals will not be given a contract or be paid. But soccer will be a great way to stay in shape until owners and players work out their differences and the NFL lockout is lifted.
Coach Peter Vermes said Ochocinco had proven himself a hard worker and a good teammate and was never a distraction.
and was he. He is "This is a positive outcome for everyone involved," said Vermes. "It's been great to have Chad here
and we'll welcome him back when he's ready to return. He's been a true professional throughout his tryout, he has fit right in with the other
he has in right players and he has been a great presence in the locker room. He has definitely earned the right to be an honorary member of the squad."
"For our sport, it's great because I think there's a lot of people out there who question how hard it is to play this game and it's very, very difficult."

experience has
also been good for soccer, Vermes
believes.
"He has definitely earned the right to be an honorary member of the squad."
PETER VERMES Coach
Ochocinco left for home after getting the good news and said he would return "in a week or two."
"I had a great six days here ... just to be able to grace the guys was awesaid. "It's always
been a dream of mine to play the game of soccer. Manager Vermes was kind enough to allow me to stay here at will to train with the reserves and continue to get myself in shape."
Ochocinco had appeared to be realistic about his chances of winning an MLS contract.
"I've been away from the game since I was a little kid. I'm just having fun," he said after Monday's practice game. "The skill set is not there like it should be. All I can do out here on the pitch is probably just run fast."
Ochocinco said his grandmother helped persuade him to give
up soccer and focus entirely on football after the 10th grade. If he had stuck with soccer, Vermes said, he would have been a star in that sport.
"There's no doubt in my mind he would be a professional player today." Vermes said. "No doubt in my mind. We've had guys in here with lesser physical tools than he has. He brings something to the field, his attention to detail and he's very conscientious about the game. When you bring that every day onto the practice field you're just going to get better."

Barkley busts the Big East's chops
MORNING BREW
Rick Pitino turned away from the man he was bantering with for just a moment - he needed to gather him
Rman he was bantering with for just a moment — he needed to gather himself so he didn't lash in out anger. Charles Barkley had just told Pitino, Louisville's well-known head basketball coach, on national television that the conference he coaches in, the Big East, was overrated.
The Big East is typically considered to be the best conference in college basketball. Eleven teams from the Big East got bids into the NCAA tournament field. Of those 11, just two survived the first weekend of the tournament.
So Barkley, one of the new additions to the CBS tournament coverage crew, had reason to make such a bold statement to Pitino on air.
The banter got heated between the two, when Barkley said that the Big East should have never gotten 11 teams in the field. This was the first time in the heated discussion that Pitino had to turn away out of disgust for Barkley's comments.
It was last Sunday evening when the two got into one of the more entertaining 90 seconds of bickering that I've seen in a long time.
Pitino then quickly chirped back at Barkley, saying that Marquette, who had beaten Syracuse (another Big East squad) to be the second Big East team in the Sweet Sixteen, would never have made it into the tournament if the Big East wouldn't have had 11 teams.
Then Barkley dropped the bomb, "They beat Syracuse — that tells you Syracuse wasn't that good. The Big East is just

overrated." Barkley concluded his statements by saying that Notre Dame, a No. 2 seed from the Big East, was going to be upset by Florida State, No. 10 seed from the ACC.
The well-esteemed coach, after gathering himself for a moment, then made a statement that he would regret approximately two hours later. Pitino, flustered with frustration from Barkley, made a prediction he felt would hold true.
"Notre Dame will not lose tonight. I'm on record with that one with you," Pitino said, in defense of the Big East.
THE
MORNING
BREW
Florida State ended up pounding Notre Dame in a 71-57 upset. The surprising victory completed the shellacking that the Big East took over the tourney's opening weekend.
Barkley, who appeared to be amused from the confrontation, tried to make things a little better with the heated Pitino.
"The Big East has the best coaches in college basketball." Barkley said
But the big fella wasn't done yet.
"They have the least amount of talent. They've got some good teams, some good solid teams. That's it. None of them are anything to write home about," Barkley said.
The Big East is the benefactor of the ESPN hype machine. The experts on ESPN have repeatedly said that the Big East is the best conference in college basketball; so most people blindly believe them.
Whether it was a case of bad matchups for the conference or not, it is absurd that the Big East got 11 teams into the field, when only two survived the first weekend.
Yes, the tournament can be crazy, and it doesn't always reflect on conference strength, but I think Chuck Barkley had this one right.
Mottr than 50,000 people have viewed the argument on YouTube now, and Barkley saved his best comment in the argument for last.
"They should call it the itty-bitty east, Barkley said.
Yes, they should, Chuck.

Cats and Huskies turn around late in season
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Late regular-season defeats served as turning points for Kentucky and Connecticut, two teams that will play in the national semifinals on Saturday.
Kentucky's turning point came after a 77-76 loss at Arkansas on Feb. 23. That game marked a fifth loss by two or fewer points and
re-opened the question of whether the Cats were too young to make a deep post-season run.
Speaking on a teleconference for the four Final Four coaches on Monday, John Calipari recalled the scary upcoming schedule to finish the regular season: Vanderbilt, Florida and at Tennessee.
"They had a players-only meeting," he said of the UK players. "Normally, those meetings don't do
anything. But I think they wanted to understand each other. The veterans talked about committing to what they had to do. The young kids committed to what they had to do. I think they just came --together-"
Connecticut's turning point came in the final game of the regular season. The Huskies lost at home to Notre Dame, 70-67, despite leading much of the way.
Eagle
The new season began with the Big East Tournament in Madison Square Garden. Connecticut won five games in five days, the last three victories coming by a total of 10 points.
"Let's go back to being the team we are and let's just play basketball," Calhoun said before the Big East Tournament. "Stop this worrying about everything else."

Barkley puts Big East in its place
MORNING BREW | 9A

Charles Barkley's knowledge of college basketball has been on full display during the NCAA tournament. He proved to Louisville coach Rick Pitino that the Big East isn't as good as advertised.

RIGHTING THE SHIP
PAGE 10A
Softball returning to form
After a record start to the season at 26-3, the Jayhawk softball team found itself 0-4 in Big 12 play after the first week of conference play. Now, the team will travel to Kansas City to face the UMKC Kangaroo's to make an attempt at getting back on track and starting another winning streak.
The team is trying to bounce back from a four-loss streak from the past week with losses to No.11 Missouri and No.9 Texas.
"We are just really looking forward to coming out and playing like layhawks, keeping within ourselves and not overlooking anything and expect to play hard and have a great game," junior indefender Marissa Ingle said.
The team had one day of practice in between its weekend game against Texas and today's match-up. In that practice the focus was on offense and adjusting to the pitching that the team will see today.
UMKC' sophomore pitcher Deanna Friese is going to be a threat for the Jayhawks with her 122 season strikeouts and 2.22 ERA.
"Offensively we know what to expect," coach Megan Smith said. "We faced the pitching last year. There is a very good pitcher for UMKC with a very good rise ball so we know what our game plan is going to be and we just need to execute it."
Last year against UMKC, the team swept the doubleheader 5-1 and 1-0. However, even with the wins, the Jayhawk bats were practically silent against Friese. In the nightcap game the team made contact three times, leaving base runners with limited opportunities.
tunities. "We did not execute that last year against them but we will this year," Smith said, "And then in terms of defense and pitching, just get back to where we were before last week. We are trying to use that as a learning experience and hope to come out tomorrow and be a little bit stronger pitching and defensively."
Smith appeared dissatisfied with the results from last season, but hopeful and confident that the team would be capable of pulling through tonight for two more tallies to its record.
KU VS. UMKC
WHEN: 4 & 6 p.m.
WHERE: Kansas City, Mo.
The key to returning to a winning streak will be an increase in aggression by the pitchers. They could not stop the Longhorns over the weekend. As a staff, they threw only two strikeouts in the two meetings. In order to be competitive in the Big 12, the pitchers need to step up their game and allow opponents' bats.
The pitcher's plan to throw strikes and tough pitches to get ground balls for the defense. They have worked on cutting down on errors from the weekend for today's contest. On the season, the team has 33 fielding errors.
"We need to be making the routine plays and be backing our pitchers up," sophomore infielder Mariah Montgomery said. "They like to get us a lot of ground balls, so we just have to make the routine plays and get the sure outs that we know we can get."
First pitches will be thrown at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. The Jayhawks are holding strong with a 26-7 record and the 'Roos hold a 15-10 record.

COMMENTARY
Robinson's future depends on college
BY TIM DWYER
tdywer@kansan.com
Bill Self doesn't think it's best for Thomas Robinson to leave Kansas. He seemed surprised that we, the media, were presenting it as a legitimate option.
"If it's best for him and his family," Self said, "I'd say go."
Let's say Self's wrong and Robinson does leave Kansas. He is, after all, very high on draft boards. ESPN's Chad Ford has him as the highest-rated Jayhawk as far as NBA prospects are concerned.
Self also said, though, that he can't envision a scenario where it is the best thing. This baffled me at first, along with the rest of the media folk there. But let's think about it. Let's play with some hypotheticals.
There are the obvious reasons Robinson should come back. Give him a season with big man wonder coach Danny Manning and he could be a star. If the Morris twins leave, the Jayhawks will be Robinson's team. There's a familial stability at Kansas that the NBA road doesn't offer.
There's money in the NBA, though, and lots of it for a guy like Robinson. So let's say he leaves. He leaves, gets drafted in the 15-25 range, and signs a fat three-year deal.
Self, who said he's spoken with GMs and other people close to the game, said they all think a lockout is inevitable. There will be no basketball, it seems, for at least the beginning of the season, meaning that Robinson and any other Jayhawks who could potentially go pro would not make a dime, outside of endorsements, until basketball started up. It could be an entire season, it could be a month.
But in this hypothetical, we'll say it's half a season, which at this point seems pretty likely in
the real world, too. Robinson doesn't play organized hoops in a game situation until roughly next February, which is almost a full year for him sitting out. If the season starts in February, the entire year is essentially a playoff run, so if a team is contending, it won't want to take the time to develop a prospect
Robinson is without question a developmental prospect. He has the NBA motor and body (his physical resemblance to Dwight Howard really is striking), but he doesn't have the offensive repertoire an NBA four needs — something, let's remember, that Danny Manning coaches very well — and he turns the ball over like he owes it to the opponents. So he doesn't play much that first year. Just gets spot minutes, maybe spends some time in the NBA Developmental League.
Hed make enough money off his first contract that, if he spent wisely, would get his sister through college and let him live comfortably for a long time. But as much of a goal as that no doubt is for Robinson, he also wants to be an NBA player.
So his first real season in the NBA comes a year-and-a-half after he's played his last game for Kansas. He's a little rusty. He takes some time getting acclimated. That next year, he's a better player, but he hasn't cracked the starting rotation, and because he sat that first year because of the lockout, he's a little behind the learning curve when his contract expires.
And to do that, he needs to come back to Kansas.
Robinson would be without that third season. He'd be gunning for his second contract without a breakout year, without a season that said for a certainty that he's a long-term NBA guy.
BASEBALL
That third year is often a breakout season. The first year a prospect gets acclimated, the second he starts to produce, and the third he becomes a legit NBA player. Then in the offseason, he gets a contract paying him like a legit NBA player.
Edited by Sarah Gregory
That's a problem.
While the Bears are not the most formidable opponent on the Jayhawks' tough Big 12 schedule, they hold a team ERA of 4.80. Their top two pitchers, Blake Barber and Nick Petree, have been phenomenal this year, with ERAs of 2.87 and 3.10 respectively.
Jayhawks focus on performance at the plate, scoring runs
"They always have very good
While the Jayhawks were swept in College Station this past weekend, they continued to pitch well. Kansas' Achilles' heel was at the plate, and while they were able to string hits together, the players were unable to capitalize and score runs off of those hits.
"We were pleased with how well we pitched, competed and played," coach Ritch Price said. "We're starting to swing the bats better, now we've just got to get clutch hits when runners are in scoring position."
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
"The guys are trying hard," Price said. "The next step is to relax, work the count, and get a pitch you can hit up in the zone.
Higherlights for the Jayhawks to win in the highly-regarded ballpark, their batters have to pick up their team average of .232. Senior outfielders Casey Lytle and Jimmy Waters have started to bust out of their slump, while senior shortstop Brandon Macias has yet to get things going at the plate. He is hitting a 205, with 19 strikeouts.
Sophomore third baseman Jake Marasco continues to lead the Jayhawks at the plate, hitting .337 with a slugging percentage of.458.
The Kansas Baseball players will try to re-establish their bats tonight in the 6:30 p.m. matchup with Missouri State.
pitching," Price said, adding that the games against Missouri State are always great series to play.
The Jayhawks will be playing at Hammons Field, the home of the Springfield Cardinals and the AA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.
"Hammons Field is literally one of the finest facilities in all of college baseball." Price said. "It always makes the game one of the highlights on the road for us."
With the pitching being a steady force for the jayhawks all year, and the bats slowly coming around, Price has no choice but to be patient and hope things will continue to improve.
"We're getting better every week, and that's our goal," Price said.
Price said his concern for Wednesday didn't lie within his pitching staff. The Jayhawks have a team ERA of 3.55 and have held opposing hitters to 259 this year.
We need guys like Brandon Macias to continue to play better and swing better like he has in the past, in order for that to happen."
Sophomore pitcher Thomas Taylor will be making his third start for the Jayhawks this season. He went 2-0 in his first two starts for the Jayhawks and has an ERA of 3.66.

Promoting peace for the Middle East
Author discusses aiding schools in developing areas
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Greg Mortenson spoke to an audience of several hundred people at the Lied Center Wednesday night about his work building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The lecture was organized by the Center for Community Outreach to kick off its "Into the Streets Week" series of events promoting volunteer work and awareness of international problems such as homelessness and natural disaster relief.
Mortenson, author of New York Times bestseller "Three Cups of Tea," has been reaching out to communities in remote parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan for 18 years as co-founder of the Central Asia Institute, which helps communities build schools. His foundation especially promotes schools for the girls in these communities who have lacked education for many years.
"Education has to be our top national and international priority." Mortenson said. "In particular, education for girls."
Of the 120 million children not in school around the world, Mortenson said, 78 million are female. More than 165 schools built by his foundation now serve more than 68,000

The Big Event, a volunteering tradition, comes to Lawrence to show appreciation
CHRISTOPHER HONG chong@kansan.com
Five hundred sixty volunteers. Thousands of dollars in supplies. One full work day consisting of more than 100 projects.
It is just the University of Kansas' way of saying "Thank You" to the Lawrence community, said Kris Velasco, co-director of The Big Event.
"Living with KU students can be a little rough," he said. "This is our one service back to you."
According to its website, Thursday's Big Event is "a service project
designed to bring the University's community closer together to the larger community of Lawrence."
It originally started at Texas A&M University 28 years ago. This year's event is the first at the Kansas. Students and faculty help Lawrence residents with various jobs, including gardening, cleaning yards and cleaning gutters.
Velasco said this project was unique because all Lawrence residents, barring students, were eligible to receive help free of charge.
"One of the biggest aspects that's been hard is telling Lawrence residents this is free," he said. "There is no catch; it's a completely free service for anyone who wants it."
Velasco said another challenge was recruiting volunteers. He said the event at Texas A&M boasts 15,000 volunteers. Next year, his goal is 2,000, quadrupling this year's turnout. He said he expects The Big Event to be an annual project at the University.
And after volunteers are done working, the Louisiana Street Band and Fourth of July will play a free concert in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union. The concert begins at 7 p.m.

Jaybowl considers serving beer next fall

Beer and bowling.
A little more than 10 years ago, the two activities used to be synonymous when one thought of lavbowl.
Presidential candidate Casey Briner and vice-presidential candidate Josh Dean said a plaque in the Kansas Union with the phrase "With the fondest hopes beer will return to the Union" inspired the platform.
Now, the Senate coalition Renew KU wants to bring the two activities back together.

with fondest hope for beer service in the campus
at some future date.
Bringing beer back to the Jaybowl is one of Renew KU's platform issues for the upcoming Student Senate elections.
Jaybowl bowling lanes, located on level one of the Union, served alcohol until 1998 when an off-campus accident involving two students prompted then-chancellor Robert Hemenway to prohibit

"It'd be a win-win for everybody," Briner said. "And it's also feasible."
the sale of alcohol on campus.
A plaque with a bottle opener that hangs outside the Jaybowl in a corner of the Hawk's Nest at the Kansas Union inscribes the words, "With fondest hope for beer service in the Unions at some future date." KU Renew hopes to bring beer and bowling back together with their campaign. Beer has been excluded from the Unions for over 10 years.
A proposal to reinstate the serving of beer in Jaybowl and the Hawks Nest in 2006 passed the Memorial Corporation Board but was not approved by the University administration.
Briner, a junior from Flower Mound, Texas, said with a different provost and administration it is time to try again.
Renew KU will use the same proposal from 2006 for their request.
According to the proposal, the Jaybowl would provide service from 2 to 10 p.m daily with two to three standard brands of 3.2 beer on tap. Food would be served the entire time and students and customers would be limited to two drinks.
Dean, a sophomore from Overland Park, said the drink limit, lack of pitchers and drink specials would discourage students from drinking in excess.
Students and customers 21 and older would wear wristbands and be brandished with fluorescent ink stamps to distinguish themselves from others when drinking.
Burton Gepford, manager of Jaybowl, said his only concern with the sale of beer would be safety but added that that is with any establishment.
Briner and Dean said Union administrators and board members appear receptive to the concept.
David Mucci, the director of the Union, said given the history of beer on campus the request is not an inappropriate one.
"I don't think it's unreasonable," Mucci said. "But it would have to go through a process and the necessary levels of approval."
Dean said neither him nor Briner have spoken with University administrators or provost Jeffrey Vitter yet because he doesn't feel it is their place to do so until elected.
Justin Hitt, a junior from Shawnee and Renew KU campaign manager, said if approved beer could be served next year.
Briner said the service would also bring more students to the Union and make it a greater hub
Dean said the image he thinks the University needs to portray is one of having a realistic and safe approach to alcohol.
on campus. Briner said Renew KU is not trying to promote underage drinking but instead moderation and safety.
"I don't think its possible c
realistic to portray no alcohol or campus," Dean said. "What we can do is portrait teaching students a age to drink in a responsible manner and removing the dangerou environment."

A federal judge in Wichita sentenced former Kansas Athletics employee Kassie Liebsch to 37 months in prison for her part in a conspiracy for the illegal sale for tickets, a spokesman confirmed Wednesday.
Alex Garrison
Liebsch began working for Kansas Athletics as a freshman in 2001. She was hired full-time as a systems analyst in the tickets office by fellow codefendant Charlotte Blubaugh in 2005.
According to prosecutors, Liebsch gave tickets to codefendants Rodney Dale Jones and Ben Kirtland under Blubaugh's direction, knowing Jones and Kirtland were giving them to third parties and converting the profits to money orders to pocket personally without detection. In a media release from Jim Cross, public affairs officer for the U.S. Attorney
Jones is set for sentencing tomorrow. He is expected to receive 46 months in federal prison. Blubaugh and her husband, Tom are set for sentencing April 14 and Kirtland May 12.
in the District of Kansas, prosecutors also said the parties involved hid money and interaction with third parties from the University and the NCAA.
Two more former employees, Brandon Simmons and Jason Jeffries, have been sentenced to probation and several thousand dollars in resitition each for failing to report the felonies of the other codefendants.

University keeps flow of booze on campus restricted
ADAM STRUNK
astrunk@kansan.com
From orientation to graduation, the University works to instill in students its drug and alcohol policy. No drinking on campus, in dorms or at University events. Violators can be subject to rehab courses, sanctions and expulsion.
Yet attend a departmental honors dinner at the Kansas Union, an art show at the Spencer Museum of Art or sit in the scholarship suite at Memorial Stadium and you will see that the booze often flows. David Mucci, director of Kansas Memorial Unions, said that KU catered served alcohol on campus 163 times last year.
Initially there appears to be a contradiction between University policy and action. However, this is not the case. The University actually allows alcohol consumption on campus, but only "under special circumstances."
Before anyone gets an idea about throwing a "rager" on Wescoe Beach, be warned. These special circumstances rarely include student groups or those without a proper reason for serving alcohol.
"You can't just say I think I will have a party." Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said.
"There is control so you don't have a potential situation spin out of control. You have to make sure you maintain a safe campus environment."
University controls are extensive. University officials only tolerate alcohol consumption at fundraising events or official University business. Location is also an issue. While alcohol may be served in many buildings on campus, it may not be served at events located in classrooms or held within student housing. Only events held by university units or affiliated organizations are eligible to request alcohol at events.
To gain permission, groups must submit a detailed form describing the event and its attendees to the Provost's office at least two weeks before the event.
After submission, the request goes to the KU Memorial Unions officials for approval. If officials see red flags on the form, such as the possibility of minors attending the event, the form is usually rejected.
"We would go back to work with the department to make sure they are in compliance with the policy," Mucci said.
Mucci added that if a group event includes minors, such as an undergraduate recognition dinner,
the minors would have to be clearly identified.
Mucci said after KU Memorial Union's approval, the request goes to Provost's office. If the Provost approves the request, the chancellor signs it and finally alcohol can be served at the event.
After receiving the OK on the alcohol request, the group hosting must provide the alcohol for University catering to serve. That allows the University to monitor underage drinking and alcohol abuse.
"The intent of the policy really is to have a central monitoring control source for alcohol service on campus," Mucci said. "It's an intelligent way of doing things."

Google chooses Kansas as first to get ultra-fast broadband
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — After seeing Facebook pleas and flash mobs, and even cities temporarily renaming themselves "Google," the search engine giant said Wednesday it has chosen Kansas City, Kan., as the first place that will get its new ultra-fast broadband network.
Google announced that the city would be the inaugural site for its "Fiber for Communities" program, which it says will be capable of
delivering Internet access more than 100 times faster than the home broadband connections provided by phone and cable companies across the U.S.
The company envisions systems that will let consumers to download a high-definition, full-length feature film in less than five minutes, allow rural health clinics to send 3-D medical images over the Internet and let students collaborate with classmates around the world while watching live 3-D video of a
Milo Medin, Google's vice
university lecture.
Google's service, which will provide Internet connections of one gigabit per second to as many as 500,000 people, will be offered in early 2012 while the company looks at other communities across the country.
More than 1,100 cities had made bids to become a test site for the company's fiber-optic network, trying to catch Google's attention and show their enthusiasm.
president for access services, said Kansas City, Kan., was selected in part because of its solid network infrastructure and because the program would have an impact on the community, one of the poorest in the state.
"We believe gigabit broadband can be leveraged for economic development and educational gain, both of which are vital in the global economy that we live in today." Medin said. "We want to be able to build strong relationships and partnerships with local government and communities so that we can work together to use technology in a new way to make a city a better place to live in, a better place to work in, a better place to learn in"
The company's deadline for city governments and citizens to express interest in attracting Google passed in March 2010. Many cities used stunts and gimmickry to get the company's attention and show interest in the experimental network.
Topeka informally renamed itself
"Google, Kansas." Members of the group Think Big Topeka also organized a flash mob at a community meeting and a formation of fans spelling out "Google" on the ice during a RoadRunners hockey game. A group in Baltimore launched a website that used Google mapping to plot the location of more than 1,000 residents and give their reasons for wanting the service. Hundreds of groups on Facebook implored Google to come to their cities.

Dear FFA community, my boyfriend that goes to KSU has been hacking my FB and writing on FFA, I'm deeply sorry for any pain this may have caused.
I hate the idea that you find what you are looking for when you stop looking.
I've decided that I'm going to marry Amy Adams and have her babies! If only I could meet her and if only she wasn't married already...
Tell ya what, if we have a great night together I'll make breakfast for you in the morning.
I'm surprised a KSU student knew how to work a "computer gizmo" (as they would say).
I don't understand why girls get tattoos on their feet. It used to just be the hipster thing to do, but now it's actually popular.
I wonder how many of my professors smoked weed in college. Just curious
I just can't sex you because I don't think you can beat my one-night stand over spring break, sorry!
Can't find my pizza blasted Goldfish... Naismith must be haunted!
Dear Facebook ads, I am not Mormon, and I do not want to drive a school bus. Where does it get its information?!
Then explain to me why I'm getting an ad for "me and my baby" when I have nothing baby related in my life.
It's like fortune teller Madame Ruby. She is saying "baby related things are coming soon." For $50 I tell you EVERYTHING you need to know.
What's the same about K-State grads and tornados? They both enjoy trailer parks.
How can I tell if this bitch is cheating on me?
To the girls wearing short shorts and leggings: Other students and faculty can see your butts sticking out.
I used to be in the FFA all the time, now I have a boyfriend and no longer have clever cynical things to say #bittersweet.
Please don't ruin it for the male population.
I am so glad I am graduating in May, because I am tired of getting put in group projects with sorority girls.
I listened to "Let it Burn" by Usher after we lost Sunday. I'm obviously handling this very well.
When she says she isn't THAT kind of girl it means that she doesn't want to be that kind of girl with YOU. Sorry bud.
The South Park St. sign is missing...
What a shame...
Awwwww Missouri has banners for every sweet 16 they've been to, how cute.
'Limitless'undervalues power of human brain
Basically, Cooper's character, Eddie Morra, is a deadbeat writer who was recently dumped by his girlfriend and is about to lose his apartment. He discovers NZT-48, a drug that supposedly "accesses 100 percent of the brain."
What if you could take a pill that made you better, smarter and richer? This is the basis of the new movie "Limittile" starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish and Robert De Niro.
The movie claims we can only access 20 percent of our brain. One pill allows him to finish writing his book, learn Italian and become rich through investment in four days. He becomes a wealthy businessman when he starts experiencing adverse side effects of the drug: black outs, memory lapses and lack of strength.
CULTURE
So would you take this pill if you were guaranteed to see vast improvement? Regardless, NZT-48 does not exist in real life. What about other guaranteed pills that are FDA approved? That makes it better, right? Adderall and other similar medications prescribed for ADD are the closest we have to "magic" pills in the sense that it helps most users focus and get motivated.
]
The issue is people that are not diagnosed with ADD abuse this drug. I
BY MONICA SAHA msaha@kansan.com
admit I took it once, ironically, to study for a neurobiology test. I was in the zone within 20 minutes. Reading about synaptic plasticity seemed enjoyable.
I was up for 13 hours straight reading powerpoints and drinking an ungodly amount of water. Adderall is a diuretic and will dehydrate you.
I did well on the test, but coming off this drug was horrible. My heart seemed like it was beating twice as fast. My appetite was suppressed for half a day so my stomach was hurting. I was so tired but couldn't fall asleep. I sat on my bed miserable, with my right eye twitching.
I decided then I would never take it again. The side effects were not worth it.
Morra is urged to stop taking the pill when he finds out others who abused it have died or were hospitalized.
When your body becomes adduced to a substance like NZT-48, your body begins to rely on it. A 2008 Harvard study showed addictive drugs stimulate a reward circuit in the brain.
The effects of over-consuming medication are dangerous. In "Limitation,"
Rewarding experiences like getting an A on a test or making millions in a four-day period triggers the release of dopamine. This signals the brain to "do it again." Therefore, it is difficult to quit right away when drug-induced change alters memories linking the drug as a pleasurable incentive. Morra has to taper off the drug by reducing the dosage little by little.
It is important to note how this movie belittles actual brain power. In the middle of the 20th century, scientists had limited knowledge on how the brain functioned. This somehow translated to to public and mass media now that only use 20 percent of our brain. New technologies like MRIs or PET scans show this to be incorrect. That is like saying we only use 20 percent of our muscles when muscular contraction happens all that time. If these statistics were true, you would be dead.
extreme as NZT-48 to be released for the public. It would be expensive to buy and regulate in the pharmaceutical market. Many scientists would try to make a generic for a fraction of the cost
The world is not ready for a pill as
The world would become an instant Darwinian society. Anyone who had access to the pill would be infinitely times better than their peers competing for the same job or entrance to a professional school. Others without the funds for this drug will become jealous and mentally hungry.
When people are desperate, they do not think rationally. They may even kill others to get the drug. Morra is so desperate he drinks the blood of someone who just injected NZT-48 in his bloodstream in hopes to get the high he needs.
If one is on this pill long enough, the line between the actual person and the drug becomes thin. Am I talking to my friend or am I talking to the effects of the drug on my friend?
It does not take a pill to succeed,
just inner motivation. And when you
find that inner motivation, you really
become limitless.

HUMOR
Here's to longer spring breaks and refreshing Dr Peppers all around
I went to London for spring break this year, and though it was overall a tremendously fun and rewarding experience, there were a few things about the trip that bothered me. For example, not one single restaurant I ate at, fast food or otherwise, had Dr Pepper as a soft drink option. They did, however, offer orange Fanta without fail. I'm not against embracing cultural differences, but Fanta is the least American beverage in the known universe, and I just can't abide engaging in such uncivilized behavior as actually drinking it.
I think much of London would agree with me, because near the end of my trip there were massive protests on Oxford Street and Trafalgar Square, presumably by a coalition of Dr Pepperians and anti-Fantites who did not wanta the tyranny of Fanta in their otherwise majestic city.
Limited soda selection aside, the real problem with my trip was that it had to end. Indeed, many students returned from their spring break travels this week, exhausted and not particularly excited to return to the harsh reality of classes, tests and papers. It's entirely unreasonable to expect anyone to be able to jump right back into the rigorous routine of academia after an entire week away from it all. This is why I believe we need a new structure for spring break, one that lets us ease back into our schedules.
Cliché though it may be, "I need a vacation from this vacation" is a sentiment shared by many, yet followed through by few. Under my new system, spring break would be followed by spring break break, a week-long wind-down period during which students can relax by staying at home or going on a leisurely trip, perhaps to a place that prefers the 23 wonderful flavors of Dr Pepper to the one crappy flavor of orange Fanta.
BY ALEX NICHOLS anichols@kansan.com
Of course, an entire week of napping and lounging and sipping DP would put students in a bind of a different sort: They would be too rested.
and as a result unwilling to wear themselves out with a return to a full-speed slate of coursework. That's why spring break break would be followed by a pre-return dry run - a week during which students go to classes at their scheduled times, but with casual conversation and free food in the place of actual lecture and discussion. This would get students back into the habit of going to class without placing the unseemly burden of actual work on their newly stress-free shoulders.
When actual work resumes the next week, it may not be quite up to par with the work students produced earlier in the semester, when they were in something of a rhythm. To allow students the time to get their scholastic grooves back, the month after the pre-return dry run would be a heavily curved probationary period, during which all tests and assignments will earn an "A" grade regardless of actual quality. This would help compensate for the academic capabilities lost or damaged during the previous three work-free weeks.
At this point, finals week is all that would remain. Thanks to the tremendous grade improvements experienced by all during the probationary period, very few people would need to take their finals to keep an "A," rendering this last week totally optional - as it should be.
I urge Student Senate to turn this plan into policy at the soonest possible opportunity. Also, screw this Coke campus stuff; I want some Dr Pepper in the Hawk Shop!

I think all of my thoughts in English, though I realized I don't need to use any language at all to convey my own ideas to myself.
The English language is great but could use some modifying
COMMENTARY
As the lover of English that I am, there was once a time in my life when improper use of grammar and spelling upset me. I would correct people when they meant whom instead of who, and I had strong opinions about Oxford commas and the word octopi.
I grew older though, and I realized a couple things. Most people do not pay attention to you when you correct their English, and the only reason I really cared so much was so I could have another reason to feel like I was better than everyone else.
Now I find myself growing irritated when I hear others correcting grammar and spelling. In particular, I dread hearing people complain about others replacing "you" and "are" with "u" and "r." The last time I heard this complaint, though, I had an epiphany. What if there was a way to stop these complaints?
I have a very simple solution that should solve all the problems people have concerning these two words. Why don't we just change the official spellings of "you" and "are" to "u" and "r"? Now I can imagine some will not
Nicholas Sambaluk
English obviously doesn't have a problem with one-letter words as the words "a" and "l" already exist. There is also a precedent among all languages for changing the spelling of words.
like this idea, but allow me to make my argument.
You could argue "u" and "r" don't look professional. Of course, wouldn't the time and ink saved over time by spelling words with two less letters eventually add up and be in the best interest for businesses?
You might also say it would be confusing to change the spelling of words when people are so used to them. I didn't invent these one-letter spellings myself. Many people are already using them. It could be said that's no reason to change a word. Many people wrongly use the word monkey when talking about apes like chimpanzees. That probably doesn't mean we should get rid of the word ape. That's why I'm not arguing we should update any words besides "you" and "are" at this moment though.
Send letters to Kansanopdesk@gmail.com. Write LETTER TO THE EDITOR in the e-mail subject line.
Honestly, I don't think the English-speaking world will accept my proposal, but I also don't expect the one-leter spellings of these words will go away. There will be no resolution to this limbo in my lifetime, but I at least can hope that some people will read my argument and decide to be a little less critical of their fellow human beings.

Mortenson began his work after a failed attempt to climb Pakistan's K2, the second highest mountain in the world. While recovering from his climb in a village called
Korphe, he found a group of children writing in the dirt with sticks and promised to build them a school. Working together with the community, Mortenson saw the school completed three years later. It stood in the same place where those children had been sitting.

Preferring to arrange the group in a circle and without shoes — in the Pakistani tradition — Mortenson offered advice and encouragement to the organizers. He stressed the importance of beginning with simple efforts with the goal of creating sustainable programs and told the students to take care of themselves so as not to become

Gender equality activists make history by studying it
BY SARA SNEATH editor@kansan.com
On a Friday evening in February 1972, 30 women locked themselves in the University East Asian Studies building. They called themselves the February Sisters. For 13 hours, the women occupied the building, demanding attention be brought to the inequality of women on campus.
Many students now benefit from these demands, yet few know the history behind them. Women's History Month is almost over, but for University gender equality activists, the history making has just begun.
Robert Hughes, a graduate student in the sociology department, describes inequality as "untapped potential."
"You never know who would've developed the next cure for cancer or solved a major engineering problem, but because they were never given the opportunity we'll never

However, not all those who do consider themselves activists lock themselves in buildings. Rather, they may argue that education is the first step.
Hughes does not consider himself an activist.

In addition to its current engagements, Pavicic said the CSW continues to hold annual events such as "The Vagina Monologues" with the intent to keep an open forum about topics that some are too afraid to talk or think about.

For those who want more education or to become actively involved in a movement, many opportunities are available. The CSW meets at 8 p.m. every Monday in the Regionalist room of the Kansas

MORNING BREW
You've likely heard of Chad Ochocinco's recent foray into playing soccer. Ochocinco, the eccentric Cincinnati
carry him into playing soccer.
Ochocinco, the eccentric Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, tried out for Kansas City's own Sporting KC MLS team last week and earned a spot as an honorary member of the team. Now he can train with the team's reserve squad as long as he pleases.
Ochincoin's temporary sport switch has surprised many observers, but it shouldn't. What's really surprising is that he's the only truly taking advantage of the NFL lockout. With professional football players technically out of work, there should be a slew of athletes taking advantage of this once-in-a lifetime opportunity to explore new hobbies or even careers. Why are they sitting back and twiddling their thumbs while contract negations continue in vain when there's a whole world of opportunity awaiting them outside of football?

It doesn't just have to be other sports, though. Michael Vick did plenty to improve his tarnished image with great on-field performances last season, but you know what could win over the public even more?
A dog-walking business.
BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com
THE MORNING BREW
Everyone loves the neighborhood dog walker. But it doesn't just have to be any dog
— he could specialize in taking competitive greyhounds out for afternoon sprints at the local track. As long as he doesn't start betting on which will kill each other again, he should be as popular as ever.
Tom Brady probably has enough money
to last him a while, but that doesn't mean he couldn't try some modeling for a while. He's certainly got a convenient link to the industry with his wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen. And those flowing locks he's sporting now (which, apparently, have recently been styled into a pony tail) [link to: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Tom-Brady-is-now-sporting-a-handsome-little-pony?nurl=330750] deserve to be on the cover of more magazines than just Sports Illustrated — let's be honest. He wouldn't even be the first NFL quarterback to try out modeling, as Joe Namah was featured in a 1973 ad (link to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZBLFeR8361) for pantyhose.
could not only be a very successful chemist, physicist, or something else for smart people, but he'd also probably have the biggest biceps in his field.
Ryan Fitzpatrick probably couldn't have a modeling career, but he could likely do almost anything else. Fitzpatrick is a Harvard alumnus who reportedly performed better than any current player on the NFL draft's IQ test, the Wonderlic, with a score of 49 out of 50 (as opposed to Michael Vick's score of 20). He
And what about Bart Scott? You know, the New York Jets linebacker known for his crazy-eyed postgame interview (link to: http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJshw2Axsqc) in which he declared he "Can't wait!" to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since the interview went viral, Scott actually trademarked the phrase. But that should only be the beginning - Scott should ride this phrase for all it's worth. He could become a professional motivational speaker, write the "Can't Wait!" book, and inspire countless millions who are wasting their lives by believing that they can wait. Who knows — Oprah still needs a replacement, so maybe Scott could even fill those shoes.

Softball team fights for a tie against UMKC
Jayhawks regain confidence with a 1-1 finish after four-game losing streak
HANNAH WISE hwise@kansas.com
KANSAS
The will to fight has been a major factor in favor of the Jayhawks this season. However, after losing two doubleheaders back-to-back against No. 11 Missouri (3-2, 6-5) and No. 8 Texas (12-0, 10-2 both in five innings) the team had become discouraged. Wednesday night they traveled to Kansas City, Mo. to face UMKC in hopes of ending the four-game losing streak. The team did earn another victory, but not without also putting another tally in the loss column. Kansas now hold a 27-8 record but are winless in conference play.
“Get back to how we play softball,” coach Megan Smith said to the team during the between game huddle. “I think after the tough weekend we had, that kind of dragged into that first game, and unfortunately we weren’t able to turn the page quick enough against a really good pitcher for UMKC. She did an excellent job.”
The Kansas batters did not execute their game plan against UMKC during the first game of the doubleheader in which they fell 2-1. The offense managed five hits to the Roos' 12 during the contest. They faced sophomore ace pitcher Deanna Friese. She struck out eight Jayhawks and allowed only five hits with one error.
She is now 12-3 from the circle.
The sole run for the Jayhawks came from junior outfielder Liz Kocon at the top of the sixth. The game mirrored the UMKC from last season where they Jayhawks went 1-0 in the game that Friese pitched.
During the nightcap, the jawhaws turned things around and began to play like the team that went 10-0 during the first two weekends of the season.
Freshman pitcher Kristin Martinez controlled the circle for the entire game. She had a slow start but ended the contest with nine strikeouts and two errors, but she allowed 12 hits. Her nine strikeouts make a career record.
Despite the nine strikeouts, the Roos scored two runs in the first inning after a string of strong singles. Martinez and the Jayhawk defense, especially third baseman Marissa Ingle worked to fight off the batters for the remaining innings. Regardless of the effort by the defense, the offense just was not able to find a way to make contact against Friese.

"I think we were a lot more focused and determined. Our coach, after the first game, challenged us to step it up and start from now through the rest of the season to work hard and be intense all seven innings. She challenged that; she put that on the table. I think we really focused on that and tried our hardest," senior pitcher Allie Clark said.
Above: Freshman Kristen Martinez pitched a career-high nine strikeouts. Martinez pitched the complete first game against UMKC and is now 11-4 from the circle.
Clark showed her dominance as a pitcher during the second game. She threw pitches that made the batters work to get a hit, and those hits for the most part were ground balls or direct hits to the defense that were converted into quick outs at first base. She threw three strikeouts, allowed only three hits and committed one error. She is now 11-4 from the circle.
The Jayhawk offense got on a run during the fourth inning when they made six hits to earn all four runs. Kocon started off the inning with a strong hit straight to the second baseman that was mishandled converting into a single. Freshman util Marisa Malazzo entered as Kocon's pinch runner. Sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull hit a single to center field to advance Malazzo. Senior catcher Brittany Hile stepped up and hit a double to center field giving Malazzo enough time to round

The Jayhawks traveled to Springfield, Ill., with hopes of turning around their three-game losing streak, and correcting their woes at the plate. Instead, they were shutout in a 6-0 loss to Missouri State.

COMMENTARY
Kansas maintains consistent top seed
M
BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com
If I didn't know any better, I'd think Kansas basketball was the only blue blood with its share of misfortunes the last decade. It sure sounds like it when I turned on the TV this week.
In the college basketball world, four teams rule the roost, as you probably know: Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas and Duke. UCLA isn't far down the list, either. With the annual barrage of attacks after another NCAA tournament disappointment last week, I checked out the resumes of the other three schools the last 10 years. It was interesting, to say the least. While Kansas gets labeled as choke artists by fans and SportsCenter anchors, the Jayhawks have actually been more consistent — in the tournament and regular season than any other team.
Then there were a couple years (2007 and 2008) when Kansas went to another Elite 8 and won some national title or something. In that stretch, Duke lost to VCU in the first round, Kentucky was an eight and 11 seed, and North Carolina fell in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
I failed to mention the four NIT appearances by Kentucky and North Carolina over the last 10 years. For half of the student body at Kansas, the Jayhawks have been in the tournament every single year of their life. North Carolina and Kentucky have missed the tournament four times in the last 10 years.
I hear about 2006 a lot as well. Another first round loss after winning 25 games and grabbing another Big 12 title, Duke, as a one seed once again, lost in the Sweet 16. Kentucky was an 8 seed that didn't survive the first weekend. Oh, and North Carolina was taken out by George Mason in the second round.
Kansas is the only program to have a top four seed in the tournament every year since 2002. Kentucky has been an 11 seed once and an eight seed twice. North Carolina and Duke have both been six seeds. When you have been a top four seed every year since George W. Bush's first term, upsets are going to happen. Sorry, but it's the law of averages or something like that. In 2005, when Kansas was upset by Bucknell after winning 23 games and capturing the Big 12 Conference title, UCLA was an 11 seed. Do Kansas fans know what an 11 seed even looks like? That same year, Duke lost in the Sweet 16 as one seed.
So as last Sunday's loss is replayed over and over again, this Saturday during the Final Four games, remember that it has been far worse for your blue blooded friends at one time or another. Jayhawks, the country is shocked that you lost. Be worried when they are shocked that you won.

EDITION SAMPLE
"Get crazy. get wild..."
I used to roll my eyes every time I heard the theme song coming from the living room. I didn't understand how my roommates could watch that low-grade Jersey Shore crap. The show's depiction of outrageous, sloppy, hard-partying behavior screams trashy. And I'm not a fan of trashy.
MOLLY MARTIN EDITOR
But I have a confession to make. I watched a few episodes. . . and I liked it. And I laughed. I'm worried I may have liked it too much, because I want to keep watching it.
Who am I? What happened to the girl set in her convictions of disdain for the show and the wealth of money the cast makes on media appearances, commercials and book deals? Snooki help me if I ever buy A Shore Thing by Nicole "Snookie" Polizzi. That's the book she wrote. I just cringed.
I offended him with the association. I was embarrassed. Did I really stoop so low just to make small talk?
I wonder, is the outsider who identifies New Jersey with *Jersey Shore* similar to the the outsider who identifies Kansas with *The Wizard of Oz*? I'd rather people didn't know about Kansas because of *The Wizard of Oz*, but no one can ignore the film's long-standing legacy as a pop culture phenomenon. I'm proud of the film's identification with Kansas. But are people from New Jersey proud of *Jersey Shore*'s identification with the state? I can't say. But I doubt The Situation and JWoow will reach the icon level of Dorothy and Toto.
I'll admit, watching these 20-somethings have have fun and act silly makes me want to let loose, too. But with more class and less trash. Fist pump if you're with me.
Ridiculous as the characters may be, the Jersey Shore cast is surprisingly likable. They get drunk and act stupid, but their behavior is so convincing — and real. In their best moments, they allow you to see them as real people, with real emotions, who have real relationships.
Check out Sarah's story on page 12 to better understand how Jersey Shore has become a college-culture phenomenon and learn the cast's lingo. Season three may be over, but take a look at the Shore's place in pop culture and get ready for next season, when the gang goes to Itay.

Phase two, which includes 10-foot decorative light poles in South Park, will commence as soon as the materials are delivered.
Phases three and four include the installation of lights along 12th Street between Louisiana
and Tennessee streets and 12th and Kentucky streets. Both phases should be completed before the end of the year, Thiel said, with the possibility that phase four will continue until 2012.
The project will help increase safety for students and community members who travel along that pathway.

Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn. graduate student, and Michelle MacBain, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, are the hosts of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on KJHK, 90 7fm and at kjhk.org.
KANSAS IN HEAT // SPRING BREAK CHEATER
> Tackle the sticky world of relationships
// MIKE ANDERSON
Q. My girlfriend of eight months and I spent spring break apart.I went to Mexico,and one night after a lot of drinking I had sex with a girl I met at a bar.Should I tell her I cheated or keep it to myself?
bradley
If you decide not to tell her, then you better understand she may never forgive you for lying about this, but she might forgive you if you tell her what happened. Here's what you have going for you: It wasn't with her best friend, it was outside the country and it was spring break. The bad news is that might not matter to her.
A. "The Tell Tale-Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe taught me keeping things like that a secret never works. And cheesy teen movies have taught me keeping a secret like that one from your girlfriend rarely works out either.
I would recommend being honest with her. If you never tell her and she finds out, it will probably be over. In that situation you will have probably lost her trust forever. Relationships have gotten past spring break cheating at eight months; few have gotten past a lie about cheating that lasted for years.
Don't worry so much about how to tell her. Just try it. Whatever you do though, do not use the booze as your key argument for why you won't do it again. You can mention that you are going to cut back, but don't give her the I-got-caught-up-in-the-moment-of-spring-break-and-had-too-much-to-drink excuse. Don't mention who the girl was. Simply use straight mortification and explain why your actions were stupid. The less imagery you use from that night the better. You don't want her to be able to picture you with someone else if you still want her back.
Sarah
A. You're in quite a pickle. First, ask yourself how committed you are to the relationship. The fact you did cheat, either under the influence (poor excuse, by the way) or not, may be a sign of your true commitment and dedication in establishing a trusting relationship with your girlfriend.
With that being said, an eight-month relationship is still very young. Confessing your one-night stand may not be necessary at this point. If you remain silent about this majorly stupid act, you must be consciously committed to the future of your relationship and know you will never, ever, cheat again. If you ever again find yourself in a similar situation, think back to this moment and the guilt and embarrassment you feel right now. But keep in mind, a secret always has the potential to come back to bite you in the rear. This current loser activity may affect your relationship in the future.
If you do decide to come clean, be prepared for any emotional reaction she may throw your way. It seems as though you established a monogamous relationship with your partner before spring break; you refer to her as your girlfriend. Therefore, she trusted you. It is then up to your girlfriend to give you a second chance or kick you to the curb.
Infidelity is disrespectful and totally unnecessary. You made a choice, now you live with the consequences. Unfortunately, either choice that lies ahead of you will not erase your actions. Good luck, and I hope you won't be such an idiot in the future.

The Jayhawks came into Wednesday's game with a focus on being able to knock in runners once they get on base. They finished the game having left eight runners on base.
MIKE VERNON
The Jayhawks traveled to Springfield, Ill., with hopes of turning around their three-game losing streak, and correcting their woes at the plate. Instead, they were shutout in a 6-0 loss to Missouri State.
"We did get nine hits and two or three balls were hit hard," coach Ritch Price said.
Things didn't go as planned for Kansas as early as the first inning, when senior outfielder Casey Lytle advanced to third base after a wild
pitch. The Jayhawks attempted a double steal that ended up with Lytle getting caught stealing.
"We needed somebody to get a clutch hit," Price said when talking about the fourth inning. "It was really disappointing."
Stanfield successfully completed a bunt single with two outs to start a potential game-changing rally.

innings for Kansas, holding the Bears scoreless through three before struggling in the fourth. Taylor's night ended after giving up three runs in the fourth.
While things went poorly for the Jayhawks' big picture, their three senior hitters, that had been struggling early in the season, all had multi-hit games. Macias, Lyle and senior outfielder Jimmy Waters stepped up for the Jayhawks, something they had been lacking all season.
Waters, the team's top hitter last season, was two-for-three on the day, and improved his average to .230. Waters has steadily been improving since the start of
"I changed my base, it used to be real wide," Waters said. "We decided I needed to shorten up, keep my head in one place, and be able to see the ball better."
With the senior leaders beginning to pick up the pace, Price hopes the rest will follow.
—Edited by Corey Thibodeaux
"Hopefully those three seniors will keep swinging the bat, and take pressure off of the younger guys," Price said. "It's almost contagious; we just need somebody to get a clutch hit. Once we do that I think the second one and third one will follow"
conference play, and he credits his improvements to some mechanical changes in his swing.
I failed to mention the four NIT appearances by Kentucky and North Carolina over the last 10 years. For half of the student body at Kansas, the Jayhawks have been in the tournament every single year of their life. North Carolina and Kentucky have missed the tournament four times in the last 10 years.
both been six seeds. When you have been a top four seed every year since George W. Bush's first term, upsets are going to happen. Sorry, but it's the law of averages or something like that. In 2005, when Kansas was upset by Bucknell after winning 23 games and capturing the Big 12 Conference title, UCLA was an 11 seed. Do Kansas fans know what an 11 seed even looks like? That same year, Duke lost in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
Then there were a couple years (2007 and 2008) when Kansas went to another Elite 8 and won some national title or something. In that stretch, Duke lost to VCU in the first round, Kentucky was an eight and 11 seed, and North Carolina fell in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
I hear about 2006 a lot as well. Another first round loss after winning 25 games and grabbing another Big 12 title, Duke, as a one seed once again, lost in the Sweet 16. Kentucky was an 8 seed that didn't survive the first weekend. Oh, and North Carolina was taken out by George Mason in the second round.
4
So as last Sunday's loss is replayed over and over again, this Saturday during the Final Four games, remember that it has been far worse for your blue blooded friends at one time or another. Jayhawks, the country is shocked that you lost. Be worried when they are shocked that you won.

INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I like to work out and keep fit. I really like dancing, sports of all types and listening to music.
CATCH OF THE WEEK // MICHAEL YABUT
> Our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
1985
TURN-ONS: I like girls who are athletic and like to dance. Being optimistic and trying to have a good time in any situation is important. Physically, I like nice legs, and if a girl has those two dimples on her lower back, that's a huge turn on.

TURN-OFFS: Crooked and yellow teeth are bad.
Wearing too much makeup, being too dramatic,
being too outgoing and arrogance are turn-offs.
Also, if a girl has a five o'clock shadow in her
armpits, that's probably the hugest turn-off.
PERSONALITY TRAITS: I've been told that I'm trustworthy, responsible, easy to get along with and unselfish.
AWKWARD DATING MOMENT: When I was in high school, I wanted to invite my girlfriend to a dance. For some reason, I let my cousins come with me to her house. As I waited at her doorstep, one of my cousins managed to run over my other cousin's feet. So when I met her parents for the first time, I had to ask for ice for his feet. I felt so stupid.
WHY I'M A CATCH: Because I am Filipino. I'm a genuine, down-to-earth, nice guy. Plus, I have some good dance moves.

Offense can't get going as Kansas is shutout

The Jayhawks traveled to Springfield, Ill., with hopes of turning around their three-game losing streak, and correcting their woes at the plate. Instead, they were shutout in a 6-0 loss to Missouri State.
The Jayhawks came into Wednesday's game with a focus on being able to knock in runners once they get on base. They finished the game having left eight runners on base.
"We did get nine hits and two or three balls were hit hard," coach Ritch Price said.
Things didn't go as planned for Kansas as early as the first inning, when senior outfielder Casey Lytle advanced to third base after a wild
pitch. The Jayhawks attempted a double steal that ended up with Lytle caught caught stealing.
The Jayhawks missed another big opportunity in the fourth inning with the game still scoreless. Junior designated hitter James
"We needed somebody to get a clutch hit," Price said when talking about the fourth inning. "It was really disappointing."

needed to step up and take charge in Springfield.
Sophomore starting pitcher Thomas Taylor had three strong
innings for Kansas, holding the Bears scoreless through three before struggling in the fourth. Taylor's night ended after giving up three runs in the fourth.
"He made one really bad pitch. He left the ball up and they clutched up for a two-run two-out single." Price said.
While things went poorly for the Jayhawks' big picture, their three senior hitters, that had been struggling early in the season, all had multi-hit games. Macias, Lytle and senior outfielder Jimmy Waters stepped up for the Jayhawks, something they had been lacking all season.
Waters, the team's top hitter last season, was two-for- three on the day, and improved his average to .230. Waters has steadily been improving since the start of

"Hopefully those three seniors will keep swinging the bat, and take pressure off of the younger guys." Price said. "It's almost contagious; we just need somebody to get a clutch hit. Once we do that I think the second one and third one will follow"
I failed to mention the four NIT appearances by Kentucky and North Carolina over the last 10 years. For half of the student body at Kansas, the Jayhawks have been in the tournament every single year of their life. North Carolina and Kentucky have missed the tournament four times in the last 10 years.
Then there were a couple years (2007 and 2008) when Kansas went to another Elite 8 and won some national title or something. In that stretch, Duke lost to VCU in the first round, Kentucky was an eight and 11 seed, and North Carolina fell in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
both been six seeds. When you have been a top four seed every year since George W. Bush's first term, upsets are going to happen. Sorry, but it's the law of averages or something like that. In 2005, when Kansas was upset by Bucknell after winning 23 games and capturing the Big 12 Conference title, UCLA was an 11 seed. Do Kansas fans know what an 11 seed even looks like? That same year, Duke lost in the Sweet 16 as one seed.
I hear about 2006 a lot as well. Another first round loss after winning 25 games and grabbing another Big 12 title, Duke, as a one seed once again, lost in the Sweet 16. Kentucky was an 8 seed that didn't survive the first weekend. Oh, and North Carolina was taken out by George Mason in the second round.
So as last Sunday's loss is replayed over and over again, this Saturday during the Final Four games, remember that it has been far worse for your blue blooded friends at one time or another. Jayhawks, the country is shocked that you lost. Be worried when they are shocked that you won.

SEASONAL ALLERGIES
+
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
THAT PESKY HAY FEVER...
// JUSTINE PATTON
Every year from the time she was two until her sophomore year of college, sinus infections and bronchitis cloaked Rachel Janose's life. "I had to miss a lot of school, work and social events because I was constantly sick," Janose, Kansas City, Mo. senior, says.
A doctor finally narrowed down Janose's problem after almost 20 years of misdiagnosis; she suffered from seasonal allergies.
Janose isn't alone. Marc Meth, an allergist at Century City Allergy in Los Angeles, says 30 to 40 percent of the population suffer from seasonal allergies, and more and more people join that category each year, for reasons Meth says are unknown.
For allergy sufferers, spring and fall can bring sneezing, nasal congestion and a runny nose, says Neeta Ogden, an allergist at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in Englewood, N.J. Itchy, watery eyes often join in the party, making eyes red and puffy. Ogden says people often complain of a sore or scratchy throat from post-nasal drip.
Sometimes the fun doesn't stop there, either. Ogden says people can often develop sinusitis and ear infections from ongoing allergies. People with asthma can face even bigger problems during allergy season. Asthmatics can experience shortness of breath, chest tightness and wheezing on top of the other symptoms.
SNEEZE, WHEEZE AND ITCH
WHEAT, GRASS AND TREES
Kansas isn't the greatest place for those seeking to escape seasonal allergies. Meth of Century City Allergy says the most common villains individuals face are wheat pollen,
trees and grass pollen. That's why allergies flare up most often in the spring and the fall those are the times when trees and grasses are pollinating. Outdoor mold can also cause symptoms as well.
I
Once these allergens pass through the skin or the mucosa of the nose, eyes or lungs, the body goes into defense mode. Meth says once those antibodies are bound to an allergen, the body releases all sorts of chemical mediators that contribute to allergies — the most common being histamines — which lead to those irritating symptoms.

Luckily, for most people allergies aren't that serious of a condition. While these symptoms can be annoying, Meth says people generally aren't keeling over from allergies. However, Ogden of Englewood Hospital says long-term sufferers can experience some debilitating symptoms that can interfere with focusing at school or work.
If you suffer from allergies, odds are your parents are to blame. Meth of Century City Allergy says if someone's parents have allergies, he or she is likely to develop them as well. However, the type of allergy rarely matches up. So if your mom is allergic to grass pollen, that doesn't necessarily mean you will be, too. It just means that you're much more likely to develop some type of allergy during your lifetime.
Meth says genetics don't account for all seasonal allergies. He says environmental factors could be partly to blame as well, but that side of the equation isn't understood as well.
MOM, DAD AND ME
Individuals can fight back against those pesky seasonal allergies. A good idea for
PREVENT, MEDICATE AND BREATHE
A serious itch: Kansas in spring can be both beautiful and uncomfortable. Common allergies trace back to wheat pollen, trees and grass pollen, which can cause the body to release histamines.
people who know they have seasonal allergies is to start on medication two to three weeks before allergy season, because some allergy medicine takes time to reach peak efficacy, says Ogden of Englewood Hospital. "If you have the medications on board, your body won't be surprised when the pollen hits, and you can avoid the vicious cycle of allergy symptoms, which can be hard to get under control once in full effect."
For those who aren't sure whether or not they have seasonal allergies or just a head cold, Ogden suggests giving some of the over-the-counter antihistamines a try. Odds are, if they help symptoms, seasonal allergies are the proper diagnosis. However, if they don't work, Ogden suggests possibly scheduling an appointment with an allergist.
Allergists can use two methods to see if a patient has seasonal allergies. The first method is a skin allergy test, where many different allergens prick the skin. Then the allergist looks to see if the skin around a certain allergen develops small hives. These tests often get a bad rep, because needles used to be involved in the pricking. However, some allergists, like Meth, have switched to small, plastic tongs, which make the test more comfortable. If the skin allergy test still sounds unappealing, Meth says a blood test can help determine a patient's allergies as well.
Bottom line: Seasonal allergies are no fun, but they are treatable. If you think you've caught "hay fever," visit your doctor so you can enjoy the spring weather and welcome back the sun, and not stay cooped up indoors.
MEDICATION ISN'T THE ONLY PREVENTATIVE MEASURE ALLERGY SUFFERERS CAN TAKE TO ESCAPE HAY FEVER. Neeta Ogdenan, an allergist at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in Englewood, N.J., says the following precautions can help make the season change even more enjoyable:
Find a website, such as www.pollen.com, that will email you the weekly pollen count. Then you will know what days to expect high pollen and more severe symptoms.
- When you come inside from being outdoors, change your clothes and leave your shoes at the door. That way, you don't track pollen throughout the house.
> Avoid going outside during peak pollen times, which are often early morning and early evening.
Wash your hair before going to bed.
Close all windows in your home.
Use air conditioning when it gets hot, and make sure your filters are clean. In the car, keep the vents pointed away from you.
If you have pets, wash them often so they don't track pollen from outdoors.

According to Mark Thiel, assistant director of Public Works for the city of Lawrence, the project will be broken down into four phases.

Phase two, which includes 10-foot decorative light poles in South Park, will commence as soon as the materials are delivered.
Phases three and four include the installation of lights along 12th Street between Louisiana
and Tennessee streets and 12th and Kentucky streets. Both phases should be completed before the end of the year, Thiel said, with the possibility that phase four will continue until 2012.
The project will help increase safety for students and community members who travel along that pathway.

With the economic inflation and more students taking the bus, the University's parking and transit revenues are decreasing, leading it to make up for the lost revenue in some way.

Although nothing has been decided upon yet, the department has submitted different budgets to the provost's office. One of the budgets involving the red zone includes a percentage increase on various things like parking permits, fines.
Students planning on buying a KU parking pass for the next school year could be in for an unpleasant surprise. The parking and transit department at the University is considering a parking fee increase around campus.

Q&A // THE BEARDS OF COMEDY
> Because we have questions. Celebrities have answers.
It all started with an off-handed comment about his friends' beards. Little did Joe Zimmerman know, he had just come up with the name and idea for his future career. The Beards of Comedy, comprised of Andy Sanford, Dave Stone, TJ Young and Joe Zimmerman, have been together for two and half years now.
Don't let their Southern backgrounds fool you; this isn't Blue Collar Comedy Tour. The Beards, who range in age from 26 to 34, tour in small, eclectic venues and their comedy is generally geared toward a younger audience. Although based in traditional stand-up, the troupe also combines more modern elements like music, improv and group sketches into their shows. Last summer the Beards released their debut album Comedy for People, which is available on iTunes.
The Beards will be performing at the Czar Bar in downtown Kansas City, Mo. tonight at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10. Joe Zimmerman spoke with Jayplay and gave us the rundown on the Beards and their tour.
...
How did the Beards first get together?
We were all friends and the other three had really good beards, so I jokingly suggested they should do a tour and call it "The Beards." Then I realized I wanted to be a part of it, so I had to grow a beard. It came in pretty nicely. If it didn't, I would have just been the patchy guy.
Do you guys ever have beard competitions amongst yourselves?
People always think it's about how good our beards are and not about how good our comedy is. We did perform at the New York Beard and Mustache Championship though. Actually a lot of the "beardos" were kind of creepy. As far as competing over the quality of your facial hair, you have to be pretty strange to do that.
What inspired you to become a comedian?
I feel like a lot of people go through that deep spiritual thing in college and ask themselves what's the purpose of life. I couldn't really figure it out. I came to some dumb conclusion that the best thing I could do for people was to make them laugh.
In retrospect that's kind of selfish. It's not just about you. They're giving you something because they're giving you their laugh.
You guys are all from the South. Do you draw from the region for any of your material?
We kind of have this love-hate relationship with the South. It's hard to explain, but we love it and are ashamed of it at the same time. None of us have cliché accents or do jokes about how we love NASCAR.
Has the overall success of the tour changed the dynamic of the group?
We're just touring around being happy, getting better and making a stronger show. I mean, we're not sitting there sipping champagne, being like "everything we say is gold." You're only as successful as your newest joke.
Are you guys planning on staying together in the troupe?
A lot of people ask us when the beard tour is over, but we plan on continuing for the rest of our careers. We could tour together intermittently whenever we want. I don't see us breaking up the band anytime soon.
Do you have a career plan after comedy?
dad's an English professor; my grandpa's an English professor. I'm really just resisting grad school at this point. I'll probably go back later when I want to hang out in an office full of books and have young kids come to me blurry-eyed asking me to move their B to an A.
Well, I majored in English during college. M-
Are you allowed to shave?
As soon as one of us shaves that person will be immediately disbanded. It's part of the sacrifice you have to make; nobody can see your chin.
What can people expect if they come to the show tonight?
If they're single, they'll probably find their true love. If they're married, they'll have renewed love and if they're poor they'll probably find a million dollars. It's gonna be a good time.

I failed to mention the four NIT appearances by Kentucky and North Carolina over the last 10 years. For half of the student body at Kansas, the Jayhawks have been in the tournament every single year of their life. North Carolina and Kentucky have missed the tournament four times in the last 10 years.
Then there were a couple years (2007 and 2008) when Kansas went to another Elite 8 and won some national title or something. In that stretch, Duke lost to VCU in the first round, Kentucky was an eight and 11 seed, and North Carolina fell in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
born been six seeds. when you have been a top four seed every year since George W. Bush's first term, upsets are going to happen. Sorry, but it's the law of averages or something like that. In 2005, when Kansas was upset by Bucknell after winning 23 games and capturing the Big 12 Conference title, UCLA was an 11 seed. Do Kansas fans know what an 11 seed even looks like? That same year, Duke lost in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
I hear about 2006 a lot as well. Another first round loss after winning 25 games and grabbing another Big 12 title, Duke, as a one seed once again, lost in the Sweet 16. Kentucky was an 8 seed that didn't survive the first weekend. Oh, and North Carolina was taken out by George Mason in the second round.
So as last Sunday's loss is replayed over and over again, this Saturday during the Final Four games, remember that it has been far worse for your blue blooded friends at one time or another. Jayhawks, the country is shocked that you lost. Be worried when they are shocked that you won.

O&A // REMY AYESH
> Because we have questions. Celebrities have answers.
Remy Ayesh has done everything but play it safe when it comes to her career. After almost three years of college, she started over and switched majors. She took the five-year plan, but Remy graduated from KU in 2005 and promptly moved to New York City to become a food writer. Once in New York she realized she wanted food to be her "9 to 5" so she took out a loan and attended the French Culinary Institute.
After school, Remy got a call about working for a resort in Aspen — free ski package included. Within two weeks her bags were packed. She worked every job she could at the resort, from catering to breakfast service. But after a year and half in Colorado she craved life in the big city, so she packed up her bags again and took a job as the formaggiaio, or in-house cheese expert, at Spiaggio — the only four-star Italian restaurant in Chicago.
today she is a chef instructor in New York City at the French Culinary Institute where she originally cultivated her passion for cooking. Remy will soon be appearing on an episode of Chopped on the Food Network. Each episode features four talented chefs who face-off in a head-to-head cooking competition for a grand prize of $10,000. The 29-year-old took a moment to talk with Jayplay about her experiences and tell us how she has applied her KU education in the real world.
Your name is so unique. What ethnicity are you?
I'm half Lebanese and half Deep South. My mom's from Arkansas. My parents actually named me after Rémy Martin cognac.
You were recently invited to participate in the show Chopped. What was filming like?
The restaurant business is so unstable on a day-to-day basis that I thought I was totally ready for it. But then you throw in the TV element. I can't produce creatively when tripping over cables. It was mayhem. But I became best friends with the other contestants. The producers want better TV so they try to get you to talk bad about each other. We wouldn't do it.
I was in the business school and I had three and a half majors. In my third year of school I got to calculus 3 and I had the realization that there was no way I was ever going to use this in real-life. I had a mini meltdown. You think it's the end of the world if you change majors. But I dropped everything and switched.
You graduated from KU with degrees in journalism and Spanish, but like so many others you changed your majors along the way. Why?
I know, right? I really wanted to make my parents proud. My mom's in real estate and my dad's an attorney. There's no room for creativity there. Somewhere along the line I had to be true to myself.
You've reinvented yourself in the food industry so many times already. Your creativity is evident. Why were you in the business school?
How has journalism helped you in your career?
It made me very aware of marketability. Hard work doesn't get recognized on its own. You really have to build your own brand. Unfortunately you can't just be great; you have to put yourself out there. But I've also learned along the way that no matter how much you prepare for something, you just have to give it up to the universe. Do your best. It's really one of those old adages.
Do you use your Spanish now?
Oh my god. More than anything in my life. When I work in kitchens, I use my Spanish every single day. It helps me win over my staff, which is almost always Hispanic in the food industry. It's bizarre and fabulous all at the same time. When you major in a language you major in a whole culture.I love it.
If you could go back would you do anything differently?
Absolutely not. I recently had a student inquire about all the choices I've made in my career and he asked, "Was it worth it?" And I had this huge realization: yes, it was. Live your life with no regrets. I've done nothing but follow my heart. Not my brain, my heart.

I was at a bar by myself watching the Big 12 Championship game and I was literally screaming at the TV. The bartender was so confused and I told him, "You don't understand KU basketball is my religion." But there are other Jayhawks in NYC. I'm thinking of forming a posse so we can watch games and curse at the TV together.
Are you still true to your Jayhawk roots?
From KU to Cuisine: Remy Ayesh, a KU alumnus, is an instructor at the French Culinary Institute in New York City. She will appear on the Food Network in an episode of Chopped.
Be sure to keep an eye out for Remy on May 24th when she'll compete on Chopped on the Food Network.

With the economic inflation and more students taking the bus, the University's parking and transit revenues are decreasing, leading it to make up for the lost revenue in some way.
"The parking and transit department is completely user funded," Donna Hultine, University director of parking and transit, said. "So we really rely on the revenue streams of parking permits, tickets, garage revenue and events."

Offense can't get going as Kansas is shutout
BASEBALL
The Jayhawks traveled to Springfield, Ill., with hopes of turning around their three-game losing streak, and correcting their woes at the plate. Instead, they were shutout in a 6-0 loss to Missouri State.
The Jayhawks came into Wednesday's game with a focus on being able to knock in runners once they get on base. They finished the game having left eight runners on base.

"We did get nine hits and two or three balls were hit hard," coach Ritch Price said.
Things didn't go as planned for Kansas as early as the first inning, when senior outfielder Casey Lyle advanced to third base after a wild

WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO SURVIVE A LION ATTACK
> We know you're curious.
My family and I are visiting a private farm for a barbecue. Loads of people are at the farm that day. Also at the farm are five male lions the owners keep in a fenced-in area, so of course I go out with this girl to see them. We sit down about a yard away from the fence.
We see one lion come over and sit in front of us, right on the other side of the fence. It's chilling. What we don't see is that standing water has rusted out the bottom part of the fence, making it weak. The Lion, however, knows this. Suddenly a paw that would dwarf a man's hand slings toward me under the fence. His nails land deep in my ankle, pulling me in. At first I think I can unhook them, but the nails are an inch deep; it's just not possible. As the first lion pulls and my knees drag through the rusty fence, a second lion approaches and bites down into my calf. I yell at this girl to call for my parents; I know I'm not breaking free. The fence now scrapes past my hips as the third lion's teeth clench into my upper thigh. His strength adds enough force to pull me inside the fenced-in area.
I'm no expert on big cats, but I know enough to immediately turn onto my stomach, covering my neck and face. And then, for whatever reason, two of the lions walk off, leaving just me and the dominant male, the one who first pulled me in. With his claws still in my ankle, he yanks me across the thick brush another 10 or 15 yards. I slowly realize they aren't hungry; they're possessive, claiming me as theirs. Were they hungry, I wouldn't have made it this far.
I decide to play dead. The thing with lions is
that if you kick them, it triggers the same predatory instinct that struggling prey does. You can't scream either; their prey screams too. I lie there for minutes that feel like eternities.
People say that during a near-death experience you see your entire life flash before you, and I've always thought that was bullshit. But it's true. I see myself growing up. I see myself playing rugby for the first time. Everything.
I notice the dominant lion left me, charging toward the other two. With a strange calm, I think to myself, this is it. This is my time. I manage to stand up, but the dominant lion notices. He reels back on his hind legs and gives me a swipe. In doing so, one of his nails plunges deeply into my chest, in and out. I later find out the nail missed my aorta by a millimeter. I fall back to the ground.
Dominant leaves me again for the other two. This time I grab a nearby stick. I back up to the fence, and as he notices I start swinging, keeping him a yard away. Further down the fence was the gate, my best chance for escape. I slowly slide toward it, swinging at the beast. By the time I reach the gate, everyone has arrived. The owner has a huge ring of keys. Luckily, the first key he tries works. The gate slides open and I'm pulled through.
By this point I've lost so much blood that I'm seeing in black and white, standing only on pure adrenaline. I look down at what was once my calf and see only a chunk of hanging meat. I stop surveying my wounds. The last thing I need is to faint.

"The parking and transit department is completely user funded," Donna Hultine, University director of parking and transit, said. "So we really rely on the revenue streams of parking permits, tickets, garage revenue and events."

Offense can't get going as Kansas is shutout
BASEBALL
The Jayhawks traveled to Springfield, Ill., with hopes of turning around their three-game losing streak, and correcting their woes at the plate. Instead, they were shutout in a 6-0 loss to Missouri State.
The Jayhawks came into Wednesday's game with a focus on being able to knock in runners once they get on base. They finished the game having left eight runners on base.

"We did get nine hits and two or three balls were hit hard," coach Ritch Price said.
Things didn't go as planned for Kansas as early as the first inning, when senior outfielder Casey Lyle advanced to third base after a wild
pitch. The Jayhaws attempted a double steal that ended up with Lyle getting caught stealing.
"We needed somebody to get a clutch hit." Price said when talking about the fourth inning. "It was really disappointing."

Sophomore starting pitcher Thomas Taylor had three strong
innings for Kansas, holding the Bears scoreless through three before struggling in the fourth. Taylor's night ended after giving up three runs in the fourth.
"He made one really bad pitch. He left the ball up and they clutched up for a two-run two-out single." Price said.
While things went poorly for the Jayhawks' big picture, their three senior hitters, that had been struggling early in the season, all had multi-hit games. Macias, Lytle and senior outfielder Jimmy Waters stepped up for the Jayhawks, something they had been lacking all season.
Waters, the team's top hitter last season, was two-for-three on the day, and improved his average to .230. Waters has steadily been improving since the start of

With the senior leaders beginning to pick up the pace, Price hopes the rest will follow.
"Hopeless those three seniors will keep swinging the bat, and take pressure off of the younger guys." Price said. "It's almost contagious; we just need somebody to get a clutch hit. Once we do that I think the second one and third one will follow"

NOTICE
WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO SURVIVE A LION ATTACK
> We know you're curious.
My family and I are visiting a private farm for a barbecue. Loads of people are at the farm that day. Also at the farm are five male lions the owners keep in a fenced-in area, so of course I go out with this girl to see them. We sit down about a yard away from the fence.
We see one lion come over and sit in front of us, right on the other side of the fence. It's chilling. What we don't see is that standing water has rusted out the bottom part of the fence, making it weak. The lion, however, knows this. Suddenly a paw that would dwarf a man's hand slings toward me under the fence. His nails land deep in my ankle, pulling me in. At first I think I can unhook them, but the nails are an inch deep; it's just not possible. As the first lion pulls and my knees drag through the rusty fence, a second lion approaches and bites down into my calf. I yell at this girl to call for my parents; I know I'm not breaking free. The fence now scrapes past my hips as the third lion's teeth clench into my upper thigh. His strength adds enough force to pull me inside the fenced-in area.
I'm no expert on big cats, but I know enough to immediately turn onto my stomach, covering my neck and face. And then, for whatever reason, two of the lions walk off, leaving just me and the dominant male, the one who first pulled me in. With his claws still in my ankle, he yanks me across the thick brush another 10 or 15 yards. I slowly realize they aren't hungry; they're possessive, claiming me as theirs. They hungry, I wouldn't have made it this far.
I decide to play dead. The thing with lions is
that if you kick them, it triggers the same predatory instinct that struggling prey does. You can't scream either; their prey screams too. I lie there for minutes that feel like eternities.
People say that during a near-death experience you see your entire life flash before you, and I've always thought that was bullshit. But it's true. I see myself growing up. I see myself playing rugby for the first time. Everything.
I notice the dominant lion left me, charging toward the other two. With a strange calm, I think to myself, this is it. This is my time. I manage to stand up, but the dominant lion notices. He reels back on his hind legs and gives me a swipe. In doing so, one of his nails plunges deeply into my chest, in and out. I later find out the nail missed my aorta by a millimeter. I fall back to the ground.
By this point I've lost so much blood that I'm seeing in black and white, standing only on pure adrenaline. I look down at what was once my calf and see only a chunk of hanging meat. I stop surveying my wounds. The last thing I need is to faint.
Dominant leaves me again for the other two. This time I grab a nearby stick. I back up to the fence, and as he notices I start swinging, keeping him a yard away. Further down the fence was the gate, my best chance for escape. I slowly slide toward it, swinging at the beast. By the time I reach the gate, everyone has arrived. The owner has a huge ring of keys. Luckily, the first key he tries works. The gate slides open and I'm pulled through.

A love/hate relationship: Jersey Shore has connected with its audience. Though people hate to admit it, they can relate to the cast
PHENOMENON
WHAT'S IN THE WATER AT JERSEY SHORE?
// SARAH CHAMP
Whether you've seen an episode or not, you've likely heard about grenades, guidos, t-shirt time, beating up the beat, the poof and the situation.
The outlandish, terracotta-colored cast of MTV's top-ranked series, Jersey Shore, has fist-pumped its way into the hearts of college students across the country.
It's one of several reality shows that take an uncensored look at the lives of hard-partying
roommates in their 20s (Big Brother, The Real World), but Jersey Shore capitalizes on the fun-loving, hardly working cast's Italian-American culture.
The season-three premiere on Jan. 6, 2011, set MTV network and Cable TV records with 8.45 million viewers, according to The Nielson Company's live-plus-same-day ratings. The following episodes of Jersey Shore's third season have only continued to up the ante,
drawing nearly nine million viewers per episode, half of whom are 18- to 34-year-olds.
So what's the Shore's secret? What sets it apart from other reality shows and why does it so strongly attract the college-aged audience?
While a specific genre of television will certainly appeal to a particular demographic, Brian Ott, visiting professor of media and rhetorical studies at the University of Colorado-Denver, says the type of conflict on Jersey Shore is what draws the younger viewers. "The show's conflict is almost exclusively relational and college-aged students relate to that," Ott says. "They compare their own relationships to those on television and they seem normal
compared to [Jersey Shore]. It's a train wreck on television."
on television.
A large part of that train wreck's success, Ott says, is how viewers connect with and root for a specific cast member, what media studies call "parasocial relationships." People watch Jersey Shore and form some sort of interpersonal relationship with one or more of the characters, making the Seaside Heights gang feel like real people.
A loyal viewer since season one, Stephanie Naar, a senior from St. Louis, sees the cast as real people, describing each of them and the relationship dynamics as though they are her eight roommates.

"I don't think we're used to watching reality TV like this just because of how real it is. They're basically just like us — they're normal people," Naar says. "I mean, yes, they got famous off this show, but we can all relate to them; they're just a little crazier."
Even though Jersey Shore is a highly structured, mildly bogus situation, Robert Thompson, professor of television and pop culture at Syracuse University, says it's a lot closer to listening in on real people than a scripted program. It feeds people's natural curiosity about others.
Emphasizing the success of Jersey Shore's casting, Thompson compared watching the show to what it would be like if humans grew up to adulthood with absolutely no influence of civilization. "They look like us, sound like us and talk like us — as in, they're human beings — but then they behave like zoo animals. It's endlessly entertaining to watch," Thompson says.
That outrageous behavior is exactly what got Bradley Brooks, a sophomore from Olathe,

"Once you start watching a show like Jersey Shore, you can't stop," Brooks says. "I heard how out of control it was, and had to give it a try. It took me a little bit to understand who everyone was and what was going on, but it was completely worth it."
Like Brooks, not everyone who religiously follows the antics of Jersey Shore actually likes the show and admires the cast, but rather tunes in for sheer entertainment.
"I think the mode in which most people watch that show is not to imitate or want to
be like its cast," Thompson, the Syracuse professor, says. "I think most people watch that show to feel superior to it. You have to bring a lot of mockery to that program."
The last episode of season three aired last Thursday and MTV has renewed Jersey Shore for a fourth season, which will be filmed in Italy, tentatively set to air next fall.

LAWRENCE, KANASAS 66045-7006
One more sentenced in ticket scandal
BY LAURA THOMAS lthomas@kansan.com
With the economic inflation and more students taking the bus, the University's parking and transit revenues are decreasing, leading it to make up for the lost revenue in some way.
Students planning on buying a KU parking pass for the next school year could be in for an unpleasant surprise. The parking and transit department at the University is considering a parking fee increase around campus.
Although nothing has been decided upon yet, the department has submitted different budgets to the provost's office. One of the budgets involving the red zone includes a percentage increase on various things like parking permits, fines.
SEE FEES ON PAGE 3A
KUJH
"The parking and transit department is completely user funded," Donna Hultine, University director of parking and transit, said. "So we really rely on the revenue streams of parking permits, tickets, garage revenue and events."

Offense can't get going as Kansas is shutout

The Jayhawks traveled to Springfield, Ill., with hopes of turning around their three-game losing streak, and correcting their woes at the plate. Instead, they were shutout in a 6-0 loss to Missouri State.
The Jayhawks came into Wednesday's game with a focus on being able to knock in runners once they get on base. They finished the game having left eight runners on base.

Stanfield success-
While things went poorly for the jayhawks' big picture, their three senior hitters, that had been struggling early in the season, all had multi-hit games. Macias, Lytle and senior outfielder Jimmy Waters stepped up for the jayhawks, something they had been lacking all season.
Waters, the team's top hitter last season, was two-for-three on the day, and improved his average to .230. Waters has steadily been improving since the start of

"I changed my base, it used to be real wide." Waters said. "We decided I needed to shorten up, keep my head in one place, and be able to see the ball better."
With the senior leaders beginning to pick up the pace, Price hopes the rest will follow.
"Hopefully those three seniors will keep swinging the bat, and take pressure off of the younger guys," Price said. "It's almost contagious; we just need somebody to get a clutch hit. Once we do that I think the second one and third one will follow"

I failed to mention the four NIT appearances by Kentucky and North Carolina over the last 10 years. For half of the student body at Kansas, the Jayhawks have been in the tournament every single year of their life. North Carolina and Kentucky have missed the tournament four times in the last 10 years.
So as last Sunday's loss is replayed over and over again, this Saturday during the Final four games, remember that it has been far worse for your blue blooded friends at one time or another. Jayhawks, the country is shocked that you lost. Be worried when they are shocked that you won.
I hear about 2006 a lot as well. Another first round loss after winning 25 games and grabbing another Big 12 title, Duke, as a one seed once again, lost in the Sweet 16. Kentucky was an 8 seed that didn't survive the first weekend. Oh, and North Carolina was taken out by George Mason in the second round.
term, upsets are going to happen. Sorry, but it's the law of averages or something like that. In 2005, when Kansas was upset by Bucknell after winning 23 games and capturing the Big 12 Conference title, UCLA was an 11 seed. Do Kansas fans know what an 11 seed even looks like? That same year, Duke lost in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
Then there were a couple years (2007 and 2008) when Kansas went to another Elite 8 and won some national title or something. In that stretch, Duke lost to VCU in the first round, Kentucky was an eight and 11 seed, and North Carolina fell in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.

THEMATICALLY SPEAKING FRESHEN UP WEEKEND FESTIVITIES WITH FUN THEME PARTIES
// LINDSEY DIETER
You walk into a friend's house late Saturday night and Sandy and Danny from the movie Grease greet you at the door. On the couch Princess Leia and Han Solo are getting dangerously close. You spot Waldo and his girlfriend Wenda, clad in their red and white striped sweaters and matching hats, in the kitchen pouring shots. Over by the stereo, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm are rocking out to a primal jam.
You know you're a little buzzed, but what's going on? Is this some sort of space/time warp or a Hollywood movie set? No, you're still in Lawrence and it's still 2011. You just walked into a Famous Couples party.
If you feel as though you see the same faces at the same places every week, a theme party can break the monotony of the weekend party scene. Ann Whittington, premier event and party planner, says theme parties can make an event memorable and give a party a distinct, individual personality.
"Normal parties can get monotonous," Nadina Goddard, Wichita sophomore, says. Theme parties give her and her friends the opportunity to get crazy and creative, without having to travel or spend a lot of money. "It's always fun to see how outrageous people get, to see the variety of costumes that people come up with," Goddard says.
It's not always easy to attract a large crowd of participants though. The four theme partygoers and party-throwers featured below all agree that a fun, creative idea is the key to rounding up revelers.
TWO OF A KIND
In addition to the prominent pairs mentioned earlier, other impersonators such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Carrie Underwood and her hockey hunk Mike Fisher, Alice and the Mad Hatter and doctors McDreamy and Meredith from the TV show Grey's Anatomy all attended the same Famous Couples party that Emily Cox, St. Louis junior, and her boyfriend did. The duo dressed as Sandy and Danny at the party, which the Pi Beta Phi sorority hosted. "It was fun to try and guess who each couple was," Cox says. People came as famous actors, musicians, movie and TV couples, cartoon characters and even famous historical pairs. "Picking a pair is more fun and challenging than putting together a costume just for yourself," Cox says.
PARTYING.EXPOSED
Goddard hosted this crazy bash for her 20th birthday on March 4. "I wanted to think of the wildest, craziest party idea that I hadn't really seen or be to before," Goddard says, and an ABC — that's "anything but clothes" — party

I'll stick to the most accurate representation of what I see. The image is black and white, showing two women smiling and posing closely together. One woman has a large mustache, while the other has a smaller one. They are both holding a small cup in their hands.

fit the bill perfectly. Goddard, who crafted a dress out of the cardboard from six-packs of beer, gave her friends a few weeks notice so they could brainstorm ideas and assemble their costumes. It worked, and people came scantily clad in trash bags, boxes, tissue paper, plastic tubs, a suitcase and even lollipops and plastic wrap. "No one could really move or go to the bathroom, but it was worth it," Goddard says. "It was a night of limited mobility, but maximum fun."
When Jessica Cox, Olathe senior, turned 22, she wasn't interested in hitting the bars. After being of the legal drinking age for a year, the bar scene had lost a bit of its luster, and she thought a house party would be more fun and get more people involved.
SAY HELLO TO YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS
Cox threw a 1920s gangsters and mafia party, complete with fedoras and feathers, pinstripe suits, hard liquor and fake $100 bills. She says it was fun to see people's different costumes, and that people were trading accesories and giving away parts of their costume so everyone was dressed up. "Theme parties are a blast because for one night, you don't have to act like yourself," she says.
A NOT-SO-SECRET 'STACHE
"There's just something about mustaches, I guess," Wilkinson says. There were furry mustaches, some drawn on, paper 'staches and others that were drawn on the index finger to be worn on command. "I looked just like my dad," Wilkinson says.
Claire Wilkinson came up with the idea to throw a "Mustache Bash" to do something different and get people excited about something new. Wilkinson, a 23-year-old Lawrence native, has thrown theme parties before but never had quite the participation to make the party great. She must look trustworthy and convincing with a mustache though, because she says nearly everyone joined in the facial hair fun.
Depending how far you want to take them, theme parties can be as simple or as complex

as you want them to be. So if your night life seems repetitive, or you feel the urge to step into someone else's shoes (or facial hair, or guise, or into no shoes at all), don't be afraid to get creative. Give your party-goers plenty of heads-up, let the creative juices flow and the ridiculous photo ops will present themselves. Just don't forget a camera.

George W. Bush's first
An app. Is are going to happen. Sorry, but it's the law of averages or something like that. In 2005, when Kansas was upset by Bucknell after winning 23 games and capturing the Big 12 Conference title, UCLA was an 11 seed. Do Kansas fans know what an 11 seed even looks like? That same year, Duke lost in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
Then there were a couple years (2007 and 2008) when Kansas went to another Elite 8 and won some national title or something. In that stretch, Duke lost to VCU in the first round, Kentucky was an eight and 11 seed, and North Carolina fell in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
I hear about 2006 a lot as well. Another first round loss after winning 25 games and grabbing another Big 12 title, Duke, as a one seed once again, lost in the Sweet 16. Kentucky was an 8 seed that didn't survive the first weekend. Oh, and North Carolina was taken out by George Mason in the second round.
I failed to mention the four NIT appearances by Kentucky and North Carolina over the last 10 years. For half of the student body at Kansas, the Jayhawks have been in the tournament every single year of their life. North Carolina and Kentucky have missed the tournament four times in the last 10 years.
So as last Sunday's loss is replayed over and over again, this Saturday during the Final Four games, remember that it has been far worse for your blue blooded friends at one time or another. Jayhawks, the country is shocked that you lost. Be worried when they are shocked that you won.

STAGE PRESENCE // BLUEPRINT JAZZ
> Rising stars. Feel free to swoon.
Jazz and bebop pioneers Charlie "Bird" Parker, Louie Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie are no longer alive to make music, but their influence lives on. It's easy to hear just how well through the sounds of Blueprint Jazz.
Led by trumpet player Tommy Johnson, Blueprint Jazz has a flexible lineup of Lawrence-area jazz musicians. The usual lineup features Max Alsbrooks on drums, Lucas Parker on both bass and guitar, and Addison Frei on piano.
"Our sound is a culmination of all of our influences," Johnson says, citing the aforementioned artists. "We started out playing standards, but the more we play together, the more we incorporate our own works into Blueprint."
The jazz combo uses standards from 30s, 40s and 50s jazz, most in the bebop style that is upbeat, roaring fast and improvised, but finds room to mix in their own modern sounds and style. The band almost always opens their set with their version of vibraphonist/composer Milt Jackson's "Bag Groove," and closes the evening swing with "Bring it On Home to Me" by soul crooner Sam Cooke.

Standard players. Blueprint Jazz plays near the entrance of ibar. The band includes a flexible lineup of Lawrence Jazz musicians who play songs by Milt Jackson and Sam Cooke.
from 7-9:30 p.m. at the iBar at Ingredient, 947 Massachusetts St. Ian Sotomayor, a Lawrence resident who regularly goes to jazz shows at the iBar, says you can always count on hearing "accomplished musicians and incredible jazz," but Johnson says the experience is unique and different every time. "One week we sound this way, another week maybe we sound totally different. I guess that's good," Johnson says. "It's fun."

MUSIC REVIEW // BEADY EYE - 'DIFFERENT GEAR.
REVIEW
Beady Eye is a britpop band truly from the heart of the scene itself. Including four previous members from the 90s British sensation Oasis ("Wonderwall," "Champagne Supernova") and located in Manchester, Beady Eye brings a fresh style to an old sound. The best part about Different Gear, Still Speeding is how professional and close-knit the band members are after honing their skills on the way to the top of the charts with Oasis, and how free they are to create a new image with their new name.
STILL SPEEDING' (DANGERBIRD) > KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption.
"It's not the end of the world, oh no it's not even the end of the day" from the new track
If Beady Eye really is at the heart of the britpop scene, then it makes sense that their sound would fit there as well. Their sound is not nearly as "Madchester" as acts like Happy Mondays or The Stone Roses, nor as angsty and tense as Joy Division, yet finds its own niche where it can rock out. Beady Eye definitely relies on catchy hooks like their former band but strays away from the pop in favor of a more down-to-earth rock style.
NEW BEADY EYE
THE NEW MUSIC GROUP
ATTENTION
BEAUTY
FUTURE
BEAUTY
FUTURE
"The Beat Goes On" speaks to Beady Eye's unwieldy optimism and the fervor with which they crafted this album. The opener and closer "Four Letter Word" and "The Morning Son" are both standouts, as well with the first one being exciting and the latter providing a sense of calm and closure to the album. The track "Roller" is one of the fastest on the album and very easy to groove to. Also, make sure not to miss the single "Bring the Light," which has been made available as a free download on their official website.

Offense can't get going as Kansas is shutout

mvernon@kansan.com
The Jayhawks traveled to Springfield, Ill., with hopes of turning around their three-game losing streak, and correcting their woes at the plate. Instead, they were shutout in a 6-0 loss to Missouri State.
The Jayhawks came into Wednesday's game with a focus on being able to knock in runners once they get on base. They finished the game having left eight runners on base.

"He made one really bad pitch. He left the ball up and they clutched up for a two-run two-out single" Price said.
While things went poorly for the jayhaws' big picture, their three senior hitters, that had been struggling early in the season, all had multi-hit games. Macias, Lyle and senior outfielder Jimmy Waters stepped up for the jayhaws, something they had been lacking all season.
Waters, the team's top hitter last season, was two-for-three on the day, and improved his average to .230. Waters has steadily been improving since the start of

"Hopefully those three seniors will keep swinging the bat, and take pressure off of the younger guys," Price said. "It's almost contagious; we just need somebody to get a clutch hit. Once we do that I think the second one and third one will follow"

STYLE REVIEW // DIP-DYE HAIR
> Get it while it's haute.
√
As the days are growing warmer, you're probably reconsidering many aspects of your look, including your hair. Your mind is buzzing with the repetitive question: to lighten your hair for the summer or keep it dark? Well, you can do both — with dip-dye hair, where half your hair is dark and half is light — and no it doesn't look trashy. Celebs like Rachel Bilson, Drew Barrymore and Alexa Chung have all sported the look and it radiates effortless boho-chic.
You can incorporate it into your look by adding a hint of golden blond highlights around your face, or you can fully support the trend by dying the bottom half of your hair with a caramel or champagne color. Just make sure the hues aren't more than two to three shades apart to perfect that just-got-home-from-vacation look.
Dip-dye hair can be done at the salon or at home. For a cheaper option, buy an at-home color kit that is no more than three shades lighter than your current color. Highlight as you normally would, but start midway down the hair shaft instead of at the roots. It's also wise to blend in the look a bit by placing random

MOVIE REVIEW // SUCKER PUNCH
> Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
With a dark, mysterious, gothic like look to it, Sucker Punch, will leave almost any videogame-loving guy begging for more.
Baby doll (Emily Browning: The Uninvited, Lemony Snicket) has been locked away in a mental institution for girls by her vicious stepfather after she accidentally killed her sister. Through her imagination and grief, Baby doll creates a fantasy world after she arrives. The world she creates has the mental patients becoming female dancers. They perform for specific clients and have to cater to these men's every need. In reality these men are the workers in the mental institution. In this fantasy world Baby doll decides to let her mind go wherever it takes her. Once she starts dancing she goes into yet another world. Here she discovers a plan to try to escape her imprisonment. Baby doll encourages a few of the dancers (Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, and Jamie Chung) to join her in this escape for freedom. Once in this other fantasy they have to fight to obtain an object that will help them escape. With a similar videogame feel, their
fighting will lead them to their final destiny.
This film has a constant twist of fantasy that makes actual reality a blur, giving off a futuristic feel. It appears that the point of this movie would be to promote women empowerment. But with the small outfits that are being worn it seems as if the real fans of this movie would be males and not females searching for a life like heroin.

Then there were a couple years (2007 and 2008) when Kansas went to another Elite 8 and won some national title or something. In that stretch, Duke lost to VCU in the first round, Kentucky was an eight and 11 seed, and North Carolina fell in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
So as last Sunday's loss is replayed over and over again, this Saturday during the Final four games, remember that it has been far worse for your blue blooded friends at one time or another, jayawakes, the country is shocked that you lost. Be worried when they are shocked that you won.
turn ups, are going to happen. Sorry, but it's the law of averages or something like that. In 2005, when Kansas was upset by Bucknell after winning 23 games and capturing the Big 12 Conference title, UCLA was an 11 seed. Do Kansas fans know what an 11 seed even looks like? That same year, Duke lost in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
I hear about 2006 a lot as well. Another first round loss after winning 25 games and grabbing another Big 12 title, Duke, as a one seed once again, lost in the Sweet 16. Kentucky was an 8 seed that didn't survive the first weekend. Oh, and North Carolina was taken out by George Mason in the second round.

OUT OF THE DARK
THE WORST QUESTIONS ARE THE ONES WITHOUT ANSWERS
When I picked up the phone that brisk November night in 2010, I could tell that all wasn't well. Phil, one of my best friends, asked if I could come over. "Of course," I told him. "Is everything OK?"
His simple response terrified me
"No." A click, then. . . silence.
I sped across town, my mind racing through the horrible things that could await me at the guys' house on Garfield Street. I trudged up the same walk that I had hundreds of times before with a new feeling of dread and absolute fear.
I opened the door to find the couches full of my friends, sobbing uncontrollably. Phil saw me arrive and approached me. He wasn't crying, but his eyes were heavy with... something. I guess the best word would be sorrow.
"Matt shot himself," was all he could manage.
Suddenly my mind felt unattached from the rest of my body. My stomach sunk into itself like some kind of terrible black hole. And the grim parade of questions began to barrage my brain.
Matt Adair was one of my random roommates in Lewis Hall, room 202 my freshman year. I met him and his family while my mom and I were moving stuff into the room. And, like everyone who knew Matt, I remember his laugh. Even though we had just met, we found things to laugh about with our families as we began this
I remember my birthday freshman year. It was May 14th, 2008, and everyone was moving out. As the clock midnight and I uneventfully turned 19, Matt had an idea. "You know that furniture out back that everyone's throwing out? Let's make it the 'Birthday Lounge,'" he said, with a familiar glint in his eye.
new experience.
Along with our friend Sean, we dragged three beaten-up recliners to the top of the hill behind Lewis. We sat, smoked terrible cigars and looked out over the whole campus.
It was supposed to be a grand beginning.
Once I got a hold of myself, I was on the couch, head in my hands, too shocked to cry.
And as I sat there, seemingly melting in my own grief, one thought kept flashing in my head.
"What the hell?"
This isn't supposed to happen. Matt was 21. We thought he was happy. We thought we would always be there for him, as he always was for us. And now...we were just lost.
As a group, we excel at having a good time and laughing at ourselves. But this? We didn't know what to do with this.
Matt left us with one phrase, one mantra, one tiny thing we could hold onto throughout the day.
"The greatest man who ever lived."
It's perfect. The boldness, the confidence, the attitude of "this is me, like it or not." And we did. We loved Matt, because he was always laughing, making us laugh or very likely both. And he always seemed to have time for a late-night chat if one of us was feeling mad, sad or otherwise.
That mantra is still there, the lone sentence in his About Me section on Facebook. But now it sits alongside the social media version of eulogies, messages from loved ones who still reach out to Matt.
The days between the night we got the news and the wake are still a haze to me. Somehow I made it to most of my classes, even though I felt like I was walking through thick, murky Jell-O every time I left my apartment.
The one thing I do remember from those days was when I was asked to be a pallbearer. At first, I was deeply honored that Matt's family asked me, along with four of my best friends, to be a part of the service.
But then fear, that sneaky son of a bitch,
crept in.
The more I thought about it, the more I pictured actually carrying Matt down an aisle in a casket, the more I thought that I simply wasn't up for it.
During an afternoon drive, I told one of my other best friends (and fellow pallbearer) Austin

Coping through tragedy: Elliot Metz (right) and his friend Mart (left) recline in the "Birthday Lounge" they created behind Lewis Hall. Elliot has learned about the power of friendship after Matt's unexpected death last fall.
"Of course you're gonna do it. And yeah, it's going to suck. It's going to be absolutely terrible. But we're all going to do it together, and we're going to be there for each other."
that I didn't think I could do it.
So that's what we did. We fulfilled our duties as pallbearers. And we sat in one row at the wake, and we cried.
One thing I've learned from the experience is that, with tragedy, the questions just don't go away. You really hope they will. You think that, magically, you'll eventually go through a day without thinking about that horrible, dark thing.
We all take better care of each other now. We know the true importance on those late night heart-to-hearts when one of us is feeling low. We know how vital it is that we check in with each other, with the terrible realization that none of us really knew what Matt was going through. And we never will.
But it doesn't work like that. We all think about Matt each and every day. And the more I think about him, the more I think that it must be for the better. I know we have to keep him in our hearts. What happened with Matt was unspeakably awful, but good things have come out of it. We have to realize that good things are happening in our lives.
We're slowly learning to let the little things go. So many of the problems that people our age have with each other are little things, when it comes right down to it. The commonly accepted word for this is "drama." The better word for it is "bullshit."
I'll never forget the first time I saw Matt's father Jeff that weekend. The rest of the pallbearers and I had just arrived, some time before the wake. We walked into the church, and there was Jeff. After giving each of us a bear hug, he looked around at all of us, tears in his eyes.
"That's the thing about Matt. . . he knew how to pick good friends," he told us. Or something very similar; I can't remember because I was bawling by the end of his sentence.
Later that night, we held the first annual "Mattsgiving," and we did exactly what Matt would have told us to do. We ate, we drank and we laughed.

Offense can't get going as Kansas is shutout
mvernon@kansan.com
The Jayhawks came into Wednesday's game with a focus on being able to knock in runners once they get on base. They finished the game having left eight runners on base.
The Jayhawks traveled to Springfield, Ill., with hopes of turning around their three-game losing streak, and correcting their woes at the plate. Instead, they were shutout in a 6-0 loss to Missouri State.
"We did get nine hits and two or three balls were hit hard," coach Ritch Price said.

innings for Kansas, holding the Bears scoreless through three before struggling in the fourth. Taylor's night ended after giving up three runs in the fourth.
While things went poorly for the Jayhawks' big picture, their three senior hitters, that had been struggling early in the season, all had multi-hit games. Macias, Lyle and senior outfielder Jimmy Waters stepped up for the Jayhawks, something they had been lacking all season.
"I changed my base, it used to be real wide." Waters said. "We decided I needed to shorten up, keep my head in one place, and be able to see the ball better."
Waters, the team's top hitter last season, was two-for-three on the day, and improved his average to .230. Waters has steadily been improving since the start of
conference play, and he credits his improvements to some mechanical changes in his swing.
With the senior leaders beginning to pick up the pace, Price hopes the rest will follow.
"Hopefully those three seniors will keep swinging the bat, and take pressure off of the younger guys." Price said. "It's almost contagious; we just need somebody to a clutch hit. Once we do that I think the second one and third one will follow"

TURNING A STRESSFUL FILM INTO SUCCESS
I'm exhausted, nervous and pacing back and forth in the exhibition hall. We're all holding our breath, eyes glued to the computer. I'm running on a diet of chocolate pretzels and I haven't slept in who knows how long. And if this tape doesn't pop out soon, we're all toast.
Let me rewind. It's my senior year of high school and I'm in Anaheim, Calif., with some of my friends from our filmmaking class. My high school had an advanced filmmaking program, equipped with advanced cameras and editing software, and every year our teacher, Mr. Kapeller, would take some of his students to the Student Television Network (STN) conference, a convention dedicated to student filmmaking across the country.
Contributed Photo

AE
The convention took place in the Disneyland Hotel, with roughly 50 schools in attendance. The centerpiece of the whole shebang was the Sweet 16 contest. Simply put, every school had 16 hours to write, shoot, edit and turn in a three-to-four minute film. If it sounds easy, it was anything but. Getting a team of high school kids to sit down and plug away at a script, all with conflicting ideas about what would be most likely to win, was just the beginning. After a rigorous schedule of shooting, re-shooting, arguments and tempers, we managed to sit down to start editing with about seven odd hours to go until the movie was due.
The editing room was a massive exhibition hall in the hotel. Every team had its own little booth to themselves, arranged in a grid, next to neighboring booths. Our school was in a back corner of the exhibition hall, far from the judges booth.
We had just finished about nine hours of filming (some of which had to be redone) so it was already my most rigorous film day ever. We were assigned to make a movie somehow relating to the convention itself. We settled on a story of two kids at the hotel, one of whom is bound for STN, the other there for Model UN; hijinks ensue. We had seven hours until deadline, but who knew if it'd be enough.
Besides time, our greatest enemy was our technological limitations — we had to import the footage straight from the camera into the computer, which is more complicated and time-consuming than putting a tape in a video deck connected to the computer. Just waiting for the video to transfer to the computer was a nail-biter. Not only was it taking longer than normal, but it could spit out an error message at any time, which would mean we'd have to start over or, even worse, lose the footage.
While we waited, I looked at the boots of the teams around me. The booth to our left seemed to be playing Guitar Hero rather than working. The other two boots seemed to be well into the thick of editing. It was a bit discouraging, but not as discouraging as what would happen next.
"Don't worry," Zach, our main editor, said. "I brought a secret weapon." He produced a shot of 5-Hour Energy.
"Oh no," I remember saying.
"Oh yes," he replied. "With this I'll have this movie done in no time. Just wait and see."
I had a bad feeling about this. I'd never had any good experiences with 5-Hour Energy, and this wasn't the time to experiment. We didn't stop him, though; I just crossed my fingers and hoped it wouldn't come back to bite us.
About an hour later, Zach's eyes were wide and his leg was twitching uncontrollably. He assured us that he was getting plenty done. An hour after that he was all but exhausted. He was nodding off to sleep every couple of minutes and mumbled about feeling sick when he was awake. We took him back to his room and discussed the fact that we were five hours from deadline and our head editor was out of commission.
Going into the convention, I had felt pretty sure of my skills. After all, most high schools dreamed of having the kind of equipment and training we had. I thought we'd clean up, no problem. But here we were, doing our best to recover from mechanical malfunctions and an
out-of-commission editor. Meanwhile, Guitar Hero team was still going strong and another team halfway across the convention hall was building giant pyramids of plastic cups. Were we not as good as we thought we were? Was our advanced training and equipment all for nothing? As time ran shorter and shorter, we put those thoughts out of our minds as we focused everything on finishing the movie.
Several hours of manic editing later, we had a finished video on our computer. The problem was the judges wanted the video burned to a tape, which takes time. As we started up the process, the judges announced that submissions were due in 10 minutes. Burning a video to a tape could take anywhere between five minutes and 50. If our luck ran out, the last 16 hours were for nothing. As it burned, we paced and pulled our hair. Is this good enough to win? What will it say about us in ten years? After the work we'd just put in, it would be for nothing.
The most dramatic moment took place at the last second. The tape popped out of the computer, fully finished and ready to go. This happens just as the judges announce that only one minute remains to submit our movie, but their table is at the other end of the convention
hall. Fortunately, we brought a member of the track team, Ritchie, along with us. We handed him the tape and told him to run faster than ever. It was good enough: Ritchie got there with 15 seconds to spare. We all breathed a sigh of relief and slept the sleep of kings.
The winners of the contest weren't announced until the huge closing ceremony at the end of the conference. Though we'd submitted our video, we weren't going to be able to stay; our flight back to Kansas wouldn't permit it. On the bus out, everyone seemed downcast — we had to miss the ending of the conference, and didn't know how our big effort would go over. Just after the bus started going, our teacher stood up and said, "I bet you guys wanted this, huh?" and pulled out the second place trophy. Needless to say the bus went hysterical; we'd proven to ourselves and to others that we can really achieve anything if we work on it. Second place never felt so good.

Students planning on buying a KU parking pass for the next school year could be in for an unpleasant surprise. The parking and transit department at the University is considering a parking fee increase around campus.
Although nothing has been decided upon yet, the department has submitted different budgets to the provost's office. One of the budgets involving the red zone includes a percentage increase on various things like parking permits, fines,

With the economic inflation and more students taking the bus, the University's parking and transit revenues are decreasing, leading it to make up for the lost revenue in some way.
"The parking and transit department is completely user funded," Donna Hultine, University director of parking and transit, said. "So we really rely on the revenue streams of parking permits, tickets, garage revenue and events."

Offense can't get going as Kansas is shutout
mvernon@kansan.com
The Jayhawks traveled to Springfield, Ill., with hopes of turning around their three-game losing streak, and correcting their woes at the plate. Instead, they were shutout in a 6-0 loss to Missouri State.
The Jayhawks came into Wednesday's game with a focus on being able to knock in runners once they get on base. They finished the game having left eight runners on base.
"We did get nine hits and two or three balls were hit hard," coach Ritch Price said.
Things didn't go as planned for Kansas as early as the first inning, when senior outfielder Casey Lyle advanced to third base after a wild
pitch. The Jayhawks attempted a double steal that ended up with Lytle getting caught stealing.
Kansasfollowed up the hustle play with a huge single to left-center from slumping senior shortstop
"We needed somebody to get a clutch hit." Price said when talking about the fourth inning. "It was really disappointing."

needed to step up and take charge in Springfield.
Sophomore starting pitcher Thomas Taylor had three strong
innings for Kansas, holding the Bears scoreless through three before struggling in the fourth. Taylor's night ended after giving up three runs in the fourth.
"He made one really bad pitch.
He left the ball up and they clutched up for a two-run two-out single." Price said.
While things went poorly for the Jayhawks' big picture, their three senior hitters, that had been struggling early in the season, all had multi-hit games. Macias, Lytle and senior outfielder Jimmy Waters stepped up for the Jayhawks, something they had been lacking all season.
Waters, the team's top hitter last season, was two-for-three on the day, and improved his average to .230. Waters has steadily been improving since the start of
"I changed my base, it used to be real wide." Waters said. "We decided I needed to shorten up, keep my head in one place, and be able to see the ball better."
With the senior leaders beginning to pick up the pace, Price hopes the pick will follow.
conference play, and he credits his improvements to some mechanical changes in his swing.
"Hopefully those three seniors will keep swinging the bat, and take pressure off of the younger guys," Price said. "It's almost contagious; we just need somebody to get a clutch hit. Once we do that I think the second one and third one will follow."

I failed to mention the four NIT appearances by Kentucky and North Carolina over the last 10 years. For half of the student body at Kansas, the Jayhawks have been in the tournament every single year of their life. North Carolina and Kentucky have missed the tournament four times in the last 10 years.
term, upers are going to happen. Sorry, but it's the law of averages or something like that. In 2005, when Kansas was upset by Bucknell after winning 23 games and capturing the Big 12 Conference title, UCLA was an 11 seed. Do Kansas fans know what an 11 seed even looks like? That same year, Duke lost in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
I hear about 2006 a lot as well. Another first round loss after winning 25 games and grabbing another Big 12 title, Duke, as a one seed once again, lost in the Sweet 16. Kentucky was an 8 seed that didn't survive the first weekend. Oh, and North Carolina was taken out by George Mason in the second round.
So as last Sunday's loss is replayed over and over again, this Saturday during the Final four games, remember that it has been far worse for your blue blooded friends at one time or another. Jayhawks, the country is shocked that you lost. Be worried when they are shocked that you won.
Then there were a couple years (2007 and 2008) when Kansas went to another Elite 8 and won some national title or something. In that stretch, Duke lost to VCU in the first round, Kentucky was an eight and 11 seed, and North Carolina fell in the Sweet 16 as a one seed.
