A road trip: Fans headed east to Indy
434 win tickets for Final Four
By Lana Smith

No need to worry. Jayhawk fans ya-
know, represented in Indianapolis this weekday.
If the emotion students display, when they saw the winners of the Final Four ticket lottery is any indication, the residents of Indiana better be forewarned and North Carolina fans had better be prepared.
High fives, hugs and hollers were in abundance yesterday at Allen Field House as students located their names on the winners' list, and the excitement probably will not stop until Kansas plays its last game.
Robert O'Neil celebrates with Jennifer Dixon after finding out he is one of 500 students who will not get a ticket to the Final Four.
It might not even end then.
The lawsuit goes on.
Joel Karman, Niles, Ill., junior, threw open the east doors at the field house and ran out screaming
"I'm going." Karman yelled with his hands raised in the air. "I won! I won! I couldn't find my name on the map, kept saying, 'Where are the KS?'
Karman was one of the estimated 434 students selected in the lottery.
Chris McGowan, Omaha, Neb,
senior, said he was more than a little
nervous when he approached the
hallway to a house. He held a
house. His heart dropped when he
spotted the name "Chris McGoran"
on the list. His last name is spelled
with a "w." not an "r." Could it be a
misprint?

Lance Johnson, Lakewood, Colo., sophomore, said he would not rest until he actually got to Indianapolis and saw the Jawhavas play.
"I could not sleep last night," Johnson said. "I'm so psyched. Now, I'll have problems studying."
Several Kansas fans said they planned to cash in favors owed by friends who live in the Indianapolis had not planned that far ahead.

Then, Tubbs looked at Strader and asked. How are we going to find a bridge?

Unfortunately, not all diehard Jayhawk fans received tickets.
Susan Evans, Wichita junior, said that she was disappointed that her name was not on the list but that she could cheer the team on from Lawrence.
Donna Kirkwood, Lawrence resident, was in the ticket office at the field house to confirm students' tickets.

still was optimistic about going to the game even though she was not a lottery winner.
"I'm still hoping to get tickets from my parents." Hazlett said.
An alternate list with 100 names was posted beside the winners' list. Kirkwood said people on that list would receive tickets if winning tickets were not confirmed by 4:30 p.m. yesterday.

Bicycle registration can protect against thievery
By Mike I. Vargas
Kansan staff writer
The increase in bicycle thefts can be attributed to warmer weather, said Sgt. Kew Harmon, Lawrence police representative. More thefts are occurring because more students are bringing their bicycles out of winter storage.
Every spring Lawrence police see more reported bicycle thefts, Harmon said. But there are ways that students can protect their bikes.
For 25 cents students can get a Lawrence bike license that registers the bicycle's serial number, brand, color and model number, he said.
"It's the cheapest form of inşur.
ance for a bike that you can get," Harmon said.
On the average, Lawrence police recover one bicycle every two days, he said. But the majority of the bikes cannot be traced back to the owners because the bikes have never been registered.
Whenever a stolen bicycle is recovered, the evidence officer checks the serial number with the National Crime Information Center, Harmon said. The center is a clearhouse for lessons and reports of stolen property.
KU police Lt. John Mullens said that in 1990, 71 bicycles were reported stolen to KU police, resulting in a loss of more than $24,000.
Students also can take preventive measures by investing about 5 percent to 10 percent of the value of their

bicycle on security, he said.
"I've seen $700 bikes on campus with a $2 padlock." Mullens said. "These locks can almost be pulled apart"
Case-hardened chains and padlocks should be used to deter the thief who uses a concealable bolt cutter, he said.
The theft steals for monetary gain and goes after the most expensive bikes. Mullens said.
Seniors get chance to evaluate KU
Interviews assess general education By Eric Nelson
Kansan staff writer
After receiving grades at KU for the past four years, seniors are now given the opportunity to give KU a grade.
As part of the 1988 Board of Regents mandate, KU faculty members are interviewing about 100 seniors to assess general education. The project, conducted by the office of academic affairs, began in September 2010 and strong Hall and will conclude tomorrow. Students involved receive $25.
The senior interviews are part of three assessments being done by the University of Kansas, said Duncan E. McNerney, chancellor for academic affairs.
The interviews will examine the success of general education and required courses. The other areas
being assessed are individual majors and basic education, such as English and math.
"This is the first time this general educational assessment has been done here," Shulenburger said.
The general education study investigates required programs at KU. These are courses in the biological sciences and natural sciences.
Shulenburger said the project would include 40 faculty volunteers. Each 45-minute interview is conducted by three faculty mem bers.
He said the results would be supplied to the different academic areas for review.
The University has 11 goals with the interviews including appreciation of the arts, capacity for critical thinking, increased capacity for innovative thinking and to gain a greater understanding of the enhanced awareness of differing
values, needs and customs
Deb Teetner, director for institutional research and planning, said that before the interview, students were asked to fill out a survey, a fourth component of the study. The survey is a part of a larger project designed to explain the goals of KU are and how well they are be are met.
The office of institutional research and planning is helping academic affairs with the project, she said.
Teeter said student turnout had been excellent with only one student missing an appointment Monday. He said the shift was in part to the financial incentive.
Kimberly Carballeira, Prairie Village senior, said the incentive was helpful in getting her to participate.
"But I was also interested to see what it was all about," she said. "I would have come if I wouldn't have been paid, but it helps."

After almost two months of being away from home and work, Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, is coming home.
Yockey, a member of the U.S. Air Force Reserves, left Feb. 2 to report for active duty at Travis Air Force Base in northern California.
"I're really anxious to get home." Yockey
really I really miss my family. I miss my job at
Watson.
"It will be interesting to get back to plan for the summer and fall."
Jim Strobl, director of Watkins, said. "We
are very, very delighted to get him back."
Yockey said he planned to start his 1,560-mile drive back to Lawrence as soon as he was released from active duty at 3 p.m. today.
Strobil said Yockey called him at 8:45 a.m. yesterday to say he would be leaving California.
"I'm going to drink a lot of coffee and
hopefully stay awake," she said, jokingly.
He said that his drive would be made longer by the lack of radio reception in some areas but that he would listen to his cassette tape at home. He plans to be back in Lawrence by Sunday.
Although Yockey said he was eager to return to Lawrence, he said things have not been bad at Travis, where he worked in an intensive care unit.
"I've had a great time," he said. "I tell you, mail was the most incredible highlight of my life."
Strobl said Yokeley would be back to work at Watkins as early as Monday or Tuesday
Although it was not a highlight for him to have his birthday, Feb. 27, in California, he said he was excited when he received birthday cards and letters.
Letters about events at Watkins also were sent, be said.
"It sounds like things have been going
He also has been watching the Jayhawk with team and said he thought the team would win.
Randy Rock began work Feb. 11 to help help the gap left by Yockey's departure. Strobi said Rock would continue to work at Watkins until mid-summer.
Strobl said the decision whether to keep Rock would be made in the summer.
Having Rock at Watkins also will help when Yockey attends an educational convention the second week in April. The convention will help Yockey meet the 150 required hours of continuing education that are needed every three years for physicians, Strobl said.
