KEALING (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
hold it next to your clothes when you're deciding what shirt to put on before bundling up for the trek to Allen Fieldhouse.
Leave the pink and green Kansas sweatshirts behind when you're going to a lajawk sporting event. They're fine for class, as are white and red jerseys, but they're not appropriate for Allen Fieldhouse, Memorial Stadium or any of the other venues.
Instead, deck yourself in as much blue as you can find. The hallowed halls of Allen Fieldhouse and the gridiron of Memorial Stadium will be even more of an inspiration to student athletes if the stands are filled with a sea of blue.
Kealing is a Chesterfield, Mo. senior in journalism and political science.

STEROID SCANDAL Reporters avoid jail time after lawyer admits leak
SAN FRANCISCO — Two San Francisco Chronicle reporters will avoid jail time after a criminal defense lawyer agreed to plead guilty to leaking secret grand jury documents from the BALCO steroids investigation.
Attorney Troy Ellerman admitted in court papers filed Wednesday that he let reporters Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada view transcripts of the grand jury testimony of baseball stars Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield and spinner Tim Montgomery.

San Francisco Giants' new starting pitcher Barry Zito loosens up his arm while throwing with teammate Steve Kline during spring training. Zito played last season for the Oakland Athletics.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Barry Zito wandered into his new spring training clubhouse carrying an Oakland Athletics duffag bag and plopped into Barry Bonds' chair.
Oops!
"I probably don't know better yet," Zito said, chuckling.
It might have been a first in San Francisco franchise history. Zito requested that he dress next to the sluggereback home this season, too.
"Barry and I have a good relationship," Zito said. "If I can somehow lighten the load off of him, so you guys can just take a hard right when
you're going to his locker and start talking to me"
Zito reported to the Giants' spring training complex at Scottsdale Stadium on Wednesday sporting his signature relaxed style — jeans and a T-shirt.
A new $126 million, seven-year contract apparently hasn't affected the left-hander's ways. And it's clear he already feels part of his new team, even though the Giants' pitchers and catchers don't take the field together for the first time until Thursday.
"it's been pretty seamless," he said of the adjustment. "It feels good."

The field poses another problem. This season a new layer of infield was laid. Laying it out evenly on the infield took longer than expected because of a previous snow. Now that the field maintenance crew finally has it laid, the new surface needed a few days to settle before the field could be covered with a tarp.

Junior outfieldier John Allman also seemed bummed by the snow fall, but was keeping his head up and looking forward to the possible home series early next week.
"You never know. It could be 60 degrees by this weekend." Allman
"You never know. It could be 60 degrees by the weekend. We could be outside and playing by then."
The snow covered it instead.
"It's been downright depressing." Price said on Wednesday. "As cold as it is right now, its going to take at least two days

Junior outfielder
Allman said he was trying to find and stay in a groove at the plate, which hasn't been easy when practice is constantly indoors. He said it was important that he and his
teammates concentrate on what they could control.
said "We could be outside and playing by then"
Should the weather continue its standoff and not reach the 50 degree weather forecasted for Sunday, it is
not likely that the Jayhawks will be able to play in another Major League ballpark this weekend. Price said that both Kansas and North Dakota State would be willing to push the series back two or three more days if needed.
Whatever the schedule or location, the layhawks are determined to play. Murphy, who is a veteran at the Metrodome after also playing there in junior college, knows how much good it did his team to not settle for a cancellation.
"It was definitely beneficial for us to play last weekend." Murphy said. If "wed had a whole week off after Hawaii, there definitely would've been more time in the hitting facility. We're trying to stay away from that."
