Craig Martin, professor of biology, doesnt
allow video cameras in his classroom. He
said it distracts his students. Its not because
Martin hasnt had requests to film his lec-
tures. Hes had plenty. And if he finally did let
someone lug a video camera into his Budig
120 classroom, the camera might capture
something that looks more like a rock con-
cert than a biology lecture.
Theres always somebody that will say, I
brought my mom because the lectures are so
much fun, Martin said. I think there has to
be an element of performance. Some profes-
sors hate that word.
Martin, who has taught at the University
of Kansas since 1980, must be doing some-
thing right: Hes won two HOPE Awards.
The award, which stands for Honor for an
Outstanding Progressive Educator, is given
to one professor each fall after a nomina-
tion and interview process. Martin shared
the award this year with Edward McBride,
lecturer in civil, environmental and architec-
tural engineering.
For professors, this is the only award
selected by students, and its just the senior
class, said Ryan Northup, Edmond, Okla.,
senior and president of the senior advisory
board.
Kasey Bowden, Topeka junior, has known
Martin since taking his class during her
freshman year. In 2006, she was a teachers
assistant in his Principles of Biology class,
which has nearly 1,000 students.
Hes so motivational, and he has such a
passion and desire for teaching, more than
any person Ive ever met before, Bowden
said. He helped me get through my first
three years of college.
Shes seen all of Martins unique teaching
methods, and shes heard the heavy metal
music he plays before class.
Ive always been interested in music,
Martin said. Always edgier stuff, real angst
ridden.
Shes also been witness his daily demos:
a practice where Martin pulls an object out
of his small green daily demo knapsack and
relates it to the lecture.
The most random things you could
imagine, Bowden said.
TExTbOOk TEAcHINg
Martin has seen thousands of students
come through his classroom.
Whenever I go out to eat, I meet a waiter
or waitress who had me in class, he said
jokingly.
One of his favorite stories isnt about his
teaching methods but about textbooks.
Martin said one year his class textbook
cost $100.
Thats a lot of money for a publisher
when you have a class of 1,000, Martin
said.
So Martin called a rival textbook publish-
er and said he would switch to them if they
would lower their price to $80. Once they
agreed, Martin said he called the other pub-
lisher back and told them he would stay with
them if they would drop their prices. Just like
that, Martin continued to negotiate.
I got the price down to 49 bucks, 49 bucks
from 100. It was hilarious, he said. Martin
has testified before a national committee on
textbook prices. Concern for students, after
all, thats why were here, he said.

Martin doesnt know how to use a cell
phone. Hes never had a reason to have one.
I dont know how to answer this, he said,
as he tried to answer a call. Oh, I think Im
on the Web now.
That changed one day in November.
Martin said he went to his Principles of
Biology class in the morning, just like usual.
Later that day, at 5 p.m., Martin sat at his
desk and felt something was wrong.
Whats weird is that day I had lectured in
my big class about why cells would die when
they dont get oxygen, Martin said. Little
did I know, I would be sitting here at about 5
p.m. and a patch of my brain cells didnt get
oxygen, and they died.
Martin said he had a stroke and suffered
temporary paralysis in his left side. He spent
two months in the hospital undergoing test-
ing and rehab.
I remember sitting in the hospital bed
one day wondering, how much brain damage
am I going to have? Am I going to be per-
manently paralyzed? What about the intel-
lectual part of my brain? That was the most
horrific part, not knowing the damage.
Martin, a son of a military man who never
thought he would go into education, said he
missed his first lecture in 30 years. The man
who earned his undergraduate degree from
University of California-Santa Barbara and
his doctorate from Duke University had to
relearn how to walk and use his left arm.
I remember sitting there thinking, I have
lecture tomorrow, Martin said.
His health is steadily improving, Martin
said, and the outpouring from students has
affected him greatly. Martin received more
than 400 letters from students.
The nurse and I stayed up one night
sharing a box of Kleenex, he said. They
were so heartfelt.
Martin is spending time in his office
again, and now he has his second HOPE
Award to hang next to his first one.
Ive been meaning to do that, he said.
But when Martin starts teaching again, he
still wont allow cameras into his classroom.
He keeps the students focused.
If I could get around that little hang up
of mine, Id want someone to come in to my
lecture in my big class, the Biology 100 class,
and film me in action, Martin said. Because
that kind of epitomizes all the work and the
appreciation of students. The work I put into
my teaching and the appreciation when you
look into the audience and most of the stu-
dents look like theyre engaged.

Plastic rife causes false alarm
Thursday at McCollum Hall
Staf members at McCollum Hall had
a scare Thursday night when a resident
entered the building carrying what
looked like a rife.
A University employee spotted the
resident entering the building just
before 10 p.m. and notifed police, who
quickly determined that the student
was a member of the ROTC who was
moving back into the dorms and that
the rife was actually a plastic parade
rife.
Todd Cohen, director of University
Relations, said that resident assistants
were ready to go door-to-door notify-
ing students but that the issue was
resolved quickly.
There was no threat, he said, add-
ing that the incident should remind
students to be careful of their actions.

Welcome back to campus,
everyone! There are only 40 class
days left until spring break.
with
Professor Sue Lorenz
& Q A
Department: Associate director of
the University Honors Program and
professor of Honors Tutorial classes.
Of the classes you have taught
at the University of Kansas, which
one was your favorite and why?
My HNRS 190 classes, Words
without Borders: Contemporary
International Fiction, have been my
most recent favorite courses, because
I really enjoy introducing students
to writers that they might otherwise
miss. And the students always bring
new perspectives that I might have
missed, too.
Where did you attend college?
Bowling Green State University (BA,
MA)
What was the greatest influence
in your decision to teach? The real-
ization that many of my finest teach-
ers didnt know everything, but that
they certainly knew more than I did.
So it gave me the confidence to focus
on teaching effectively what I knew
well and admitting what I didnt
know.
Why did you decide to go into
your specific area of expertise? Its
hard to pin down what my area is.
My academic focus has been English,
my career started out in teaching
writing, and my primary area now
is advising. The common thread, I
guess, is the pos-
sibility of connec-
tion: approach-
ing students as
individuals and
hoping they walk
away with some-
thing of value as
I do.
What do you enjoy most about
teaching at the University? Helping
new students to thrive and seeing the
accomplishments of those who are
graduating.
Aside from teaching classes,
how else are you involved with the
University? I coordinate advising in the
Honors Program,
run the univer-
sity nomination
process for several
national scholar-
ships and serve on
university com-
mittees.
Do you have a
favorite KU sport? Tie between bas-
ketball and football even though Ive
only been following college football for
two years.
How do you spend your free time?
I like to visit with friends at Tellers,
read contemporary fiction, and chill at
home with a cat on my lap.

City Commission allows
free parking in garage
Students returning home
from break may fnd it eas-
ier to fnd a parking spot
on Massachusetts Street.
The City Commission voted
unanimously last week to al-
low free parking for a year on
the top level of the parking
garage located at Ninth and
New Hampshire Streets.
We think free parking will
be helpful to employers and
employees downtown, City
Manager Dave Corliss said at
the meeting.
The commissioners ap-
proved the proposal, but only
as a temporary experiment
that will last a year. The city
will assess how much reve-
nue was lost at the end of the
year and decide whether the
idea should be permanent.
However, most of the com-
missioners thought the loss
in revenue would barely be
noticed.

Israel attacks Gaza;
Olmert to strike back

The Israeli attacks killed a mili-
tant leader and one of his female
relatives along with fve others

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
vowed to strike Palestinian
militants without compromise,
without concessions and without
mercy. His forces carried out
stepped-up attacks, but Olmert
gave no hint that a large-scale
ofensive was near.

British Airways jet
crash-lands; 19 injured
LONDON A British Airways
jet from Beijing carrying 152
people crash-landed Thursday,
injuring 19 people and causing
more than 200 fights to be
canceled at Europes busiest
airport.
Investigators will speak to
the pilots and study the planes
fight data recorder and main-
tenance records to determine
what caused the crash-landing
at Heathrow airport, tearing the
planes underbelly and damag-
ing its wings.
Nothing suggested it was
terror-related, Scotland Yard said.
Timothy Crowch, an aviation
analyst with 35 years of experi-
ence as a commercial pilot,
said the landing gear punched
through both wings, indicating
a massive vertical impact.That
suggests a total loss of engine
power may have been the cause,
he said.
Robert Cullemore of Aviation
Economics, a London-based
aviation consultant, said the pilot
kept the plane in the air long
enough to prevent a disaster.
If it had landed 200 meters
(656 feet) shorter than it did, it
may have hit perimeter fence
and obviously some other build-
ings and the car park, clearly we
would be dealing with fatalities
and obvious damage,Cullem-
ore said.

nationaL news:
Citizens use 1887 law to
investigate late abortions
WICHITA, Kan. Religious
conservatives have dusted off a
largely forgotten 1887 state law
that allows citizens to launch
grand jury investigations, and
they are using it to help turn
Kansas into one of the nations
biggest abortion battlegrounds.
A grand jury that was impan-
eled Jan. 8 by way of a citizen
petition drive is investigating
Dr. George Tiller, a Wichita
clinic operator abhorred by an-
ti-abortion activists because he
is one of the nations few phy-
sicians who perform late-term
abortions. This is the second
such citizen investigation of Til-
ler since 2006.
Phillip Jauregui, counsel for
the anti-abortion Life Legal De-
fense Foundation, said Kansans
are invoking the 19th-century
law because prosecutors are too
soft on abortion.
This is a right the people of
Kansas have given themselves,
he said.
But others say the law is a
dangerous tool.
This is a witch hunt plain
and simple, said Vicki Saporta,
president of the National Abor-
tion Federation, an abortion
rights group. It clearly demon-
strates the inherent danger of
empowering biased advocacy
groups to impanel a grand jury.
Normally, prosecutors decide
whether to convene a grand jury
to investigate something and
bring charges.
Under the Kansas law, enact-
ed during the Gilded Age and
the nations great railroad boom
to curb political corruption, the
people can force an investiga-
tion if they collect signatures
from a certain percentage of vot-
ers in a county. In small coun-
ties, that can be a few hundred
signatures; in Wichitas Sedg-
wick County, about 4,000.
Five other states provide for
citizen-petitioned grand juries:
Oklahoma, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Nebraska and Nevada,
according to a Tiller attorney.
One of the most publicized
grand juries convened by citizen
petition was formed in Okla-
homa after the 1995 Oklahoma
City bombing, which killed 168
people. The investigation was
prompted by suspicions that
Timothy McVeigh and Terry
Nichols had help in the bomb-
ing. But the grand jury found no
evidence of a wider conspiracy
or a government cover-up.
So far, no other state appears
to have used the process to pur-
sue a social and moral agenda as
extensively as Kansas, which is
attacking not just abortion, but
pornography.
California scientists create
cloned embryos of 2 men
NEW YORK Scientists in
California say they have pro-
duced embryos that are clones
of two men, a potential step to-
ward developing scientifcally
valuable stem cells.
The new report documents
embryos made with ordinary
skin cells. But its not the frst
time human cloned embryos
have been made. In 2005, for
example, scientists in Britain
reported using embryonic stem
cells to produce a cloned em-
bryo. It matured enough to pro-
duce stem cells, but none were
extracted.
Stem cells werent produced
by the new embryos either, and
because of that, experts reacted
coolly to the research.
I found it diffcult to deter-
mine what was substantially
new, said Doug Melton of the
Harvard Stem Cell Institute. He
said the next big advance will
be to create a human embry-
onic stem cell line from cloned
embryos. This has yet to be
achieved.
Dr. George Daley of the Har-
vard institute and Childrens
Hospital Boston called the new
report interesting but agreed that
the real splash will be when
somebody creates stem cell lines
from cloned human embryos.
Its only a matter of time be-
fore some group succeeds, Da-
ley said.
Korean scientist Hwang Woo-
suk claimed a few years ago that
hed created such cell lines, but
that turned out to be a fraud.
Dr. Samuel Wood, a co-au-
thor of the new paper and chief
executive of Stemagen Corp. of
La Jolla, Calif., said he and his
colleagues are now attempting
to produce stem cell lines from
the embryos.
The work was published on-
line Thursday by the journal
Stem Cells.
Scientists say stem cells from
cloned embryos could pro-
vide a valuable tool for study-
ing diseases, screening drugs
and, perhaps someday, creating
transplant material to treat con-
ditions like diabetes and Parkin-
sons disease.
But critics raise objections.
The process involves creating
human lives in the laboratory
solely to destroy them for al-
leged beneft to others, said
Richard Doerfinger, spokesman
for the U.S. Conference of Cath-
olic Bishops.
Other objections to cloning
include concerns about health
risks and exploitation if large
numbers of women are asked to
provide eggs.
Three criminals avoid
death penalty in Mexico
SAN ANTONIO A meth-
amphetamine dealer who
gunned down a deputy during
a traffc stop in Southern Cali-
fornia. A man in Arizona who
killed his ex-girlfriends parents
and brother and snatched his
children. A man who suffocated
his baby daughter and left her
body in a toolbag on an express-
way overpass near Chicago.
Ordinarily, these would be
death penalty cases. But these
men fed to Mexico, thereby es-
caping the possibility of execu-
tion.
The reason: Mexico refuses to
send anyone back to the United
States unless the U.S. gives as-
surances it wont seek the death
penalty a 30-year-old policy
that rankles some American
prosecutors and enrages vic-
tims families.
We fnd it extremely disturb-
ing that the Mexican govern-
ment would dictate to us, in
Arizona, how we would enforce
our laws at the same time they
are complaining about our im-
migration laws, said Barnett
Lotstein, special assistant to the
prosecutor in Maricopa County,
Ariz., which includes Phoenix.
Even in the most egregious
cases, the Mexican authorities
say, No way, and thats not jus-
tice. Thats an interference of
Mexican authorities in our judi-
cial process in Arizona.
It may be about to happen
again: A Marine accused of
murdering a pregnant comrade
in North Carolina and burning
her remains in his backyard is
believed to have fed to Mexico.
Prosecutors said they have not
decided whether to seek the
death penalty. But if the Marine
is captured in Mexico, capital
punishment will be off the ta-
ble.
Fugitives trying to escape the
long arm of the law have been
making a run for the border ever
since frontier days, a practice
romanticized in countless Hol-
lywood Westerns.
Mexico routinely returns fugi-
tives to the U.S. to face justice.
But under a 1978 treaty with
the U.S., Mexico, which has no
death penalty, will not extradite
anyone facing possible execu-
tion. To get their hands on a fu-
gitive, U.S. prosecutors must
agree to seek no more than life
in prison.
Other countries, including
France and Canada, also de-
mand such death assurances.
But the problem is more com-
mon with Mexico, since it is of-
ten a quick drive from the crime
scene for a large portion of the
United States.
If you can get to Mexico if
you have the means its a way
of escaping the death penalty,
said Issac Unah, a University of
North Carolina political science
professor.
The Justice Department said
death assurances from foreign
countries are fairly common,
but it had no immediate num-
bers. State Department offcials
said Mexico extradited 83 sus-
pects to the U.S. in 2006. Most
were wanted on drug or murder
charges.

New Years resolutions for
many students for better fitness
are put to the test at the start of
the spring semester. Stress from
class work and busy schedules
can often make regular exercise a
difficult commitment to keep.
J e n n i f e r
Mohwi nk l e ,
Topeka junior,
said she was
one student
who had trou-
ble keeping
New Years
resolutions.
I say Ill try
to start exer-
cising when
classes start,
Mo h w i n k l e
said. But its
hard to find the time to go con-
sistently.
Joseph Donnelly, director of
KUs Center for Physical Activity
and Weight Management, said
there were a number of strategies
students like Mohwinkle could
employ to increase the likeli-
hood of sticking to a new exer-
cise plan.
Fitness or weight loss must
become a priority, he said, and
anyone who began a new fitness
regimen should increase exercise
gradually.
Donnelly also stressed the
importance of students maintain-
ing a healthy diet and, if possible,
joining a fitness program or find-
ing a friend to exercise with to
hold them accountable to their
fitness goals.
Its important to remember
that you dont have to get fit
tomorrow, Donnelly said. You
have your whole life to get to
a level of fitness and work to
keep it.
Donnelly said an incremen-
tal increase in exercise time and
realistic short and long-term
goals were important. Students
should aim for workouts of 30
to 60 minutes at least five days
a week, he said.
Donnelly is also testing the
effects that exercise can have
on the body in a long term
exercise study. The study mea-
sures the results of 45 to 75
minutes of exercise per day for
10 months in overweight people
between the ages of 18 and 30.
Jeff Honas, project coordinator,
said the five-year study, now in
its second year, brought signifi-
cant weight loss for some par-
ticipants. Honas said depend-
ing on the number of calories
burned during the workouts,
study participants lost between
4.5 percent and 7.5 percent of
their body weight.
Weight loss achieved by
consistent exercise can also be
maintained with a healthy diet,
Donnelly said.
He said a person could exer-
cise regularly and still only lose
5 to 10 pounds per year without
dietary change. Reducing a diet
by no more than 500 calories is
best for long-term weight loss.
Meg Givens, KU alumna, is
one of the exercise studys most
successful participants. She com-
pleted the study in July after los-
ing 40 pounds and attested the
importance of working out con-
sistently.
You really
need some-
thing to be
a c c ount abl e
to, Givens
said. I never
would have
made myself
go out every
day and exer-
cise without
the program.
Givens said
she continued
to keep her
weight down by running, lifting
weights and paying attention to
nutrition.
But for those who cant find
the time to spend hours at the
gym every week, Donnelly said
every bit of exercise counted.
To have a reasonable level of
fitness, all you have to do is walk,
he said.

pating in the Long Term Exercise
Study should contact Jeff Honas

Odd newS
Man almost loses ticket to
national championship
RACINE, Wis. A little house-
cleaning nearly cost the Rev. Wal-
ter Hermanns a seat at Sundays
National Football Conference
championship game.
Hermanns, who has multiple
sclerosis and uses a wheelchair,
was getting some help from a
friend last Friday when he asked
him to take care of a stack of pa-
pers left in a bin for shredding.
When his friend got to four
Green Bay Packers tickets
bundled together with a rubber
band, he took of the band, put
one in the shredder and then
stopped short.
Something rang a bell and he
said, Are you sure you want to
shred these? Hermanns said.
Too late. The ticket was in
shreds.
They emptied the shredder,
collected pieces of the ticket and
put them in a plastic bag. A call to
the Packers ticket ofce remedied
the situation, but not without
some explaining.
It almost sounded like they
had heard crazy stories like this
before, Hermanns said.
It helped that he had pur-
chased the tickets with a credit
card, still had three remaining
tickets and had gotten the tickets
through a special lottery for
handicapped-accessible seats.
Identical twin brothers
earn perfect ACT scores
BELLEVUE, Neb. Brian and
Ross DeVol are a perfect match,
genetically and academically: The
identical twins earned perfect
ACT scores.
The seniors at suburban
Bellevue East High School both
scored 36 on the college entrance
exam, though Ross DeVol needed
three tries. One of his earlier tries
netted a 35.
The 18-year-old brothers have
maintained straight-As through
high school, and both are in the
running for class valedictorian.
Were pretty competitive, Ross
DeVol said.
The twins have already won
household bragging rights. Their
older brother, John, earned a 33
the frst time he took the ACT and
didnt try again.
Ross DeVol said his older
brother has been joking about
retaking the test since the twins
earned their perfect scores.
The brothers are both good in
physics and are considering the
University of Nebraska or Creigh-
ton University in Omaha as their
college choices, but they havent
yet decided.
Ross DeVol said he wants to
become a doctor or a psychiatrist.
Brian DeVol has said he wants to
become an actuary.
The DeVols are only the third
pair of students in the past de-
cade to earn perfect scores in the
same year and share the same ad-
dress, ACT spokeswoman Kristin
Crouse said. Crouse couldnt say
whether the others were twins.
About one out of every 4,000
graduates who took the ACT last
year scored a 36. The average
score in Nebraska was 22.1, and
the national average was 21.2.
Bush allows Navy to use
high-powered sonar devices
LOS ANGELES Conservation-
ists vowed to return to court to
challenge President Bushs decision
to let the Navy continue using
high-power sonar in its training of
southern California, a practice they
say harms whales and other marine
mammals.
The presidents decision to
exempt the Navy from an envi-
ronmental law will not by itself
allow the anti-submarine warfare
training to go forward because an
injunction remains in place. But the
Navy believes it will signifcantly
strengthen its argument in court.
A three-judge panel of the 9th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
San Francisco had been expected
to rule on the future of the Navy
exercises on Friday. But after Bushs
decision, the appeals court on
Wednesday sent the issue back to
the U.S. District Court in Los An-
geles to consider. The Navy asked
the court for a decision by 4 p.m.
Thursday.
Scientists said loud sonar can
damage marine mammal brains
and ears. It may also mask the
echoes some whales and dolphins
listen for when they use their own
natural sonar to locate food.
But much is still unknown about
how sonar afects whales and other
marine mammals. For example, the
sound can hurt some species while
not afecting others, and experts
dont fully understand why.

Lacy sees no end for Thompsons run
FRAnCeSCA ChAMBeRS
fchambers@kansan.com
It is official. Republican presi-
dential candidate Fred Thompson
finished near the bottom in the
Michigan primary election, held
on Jan. 15. Thompson finished
ahead of Rudy Giuliani and behind
Mitt Romney, John McCain and
Mike Huckabee. Thompson for
President campaign manager Bill
Lacy was not surprised. But Lacy
refused to see Thompsons loss
as an indication that Lacy might
return to Lawrence to his job as
director of the Dole Institute of
Politics any time soon.
Fred Thompson is in South
Carolina where primary elections
are held on Saturday.
I just got a call from the event
in South Carolina, Lacy said.
The fire marshal was very con-
cerned that the crowd was way
too big for where we were. That
is a good sign in a presidential
campaign.
Lacy did not mention that York,
S.C., where Thompsons event was
held, has a population of 7,465,
according to a July 2006 esti-
mate by City-Data, compared to
Lawrences population of 88,605.
Still, Lacy said he was optimis-
tic about Thompsons campaign
in South Carolina for other rea-
sons, includ-
ing the fact
that Thompson
has spent time
and money
c a m p a i g n -
ing in South
Carolina, which
he did not do in
Michigan, Mitt
Romneys home
state.
I think the momentum is
clearly in our favor, Lacy said.
The Rasmussen poll showed us
with a four-point bounce since
the debate the other night where
Freds performance was so, so
strong. We have a very well struc-
tured and financed campaign in
South Carolina, so were optimis-
tic.
Thompsons presidential cam-
paign is the sixth presidential
campaign that Lacy was involved
with. Lacy worked on the presi-
dential campaigns for Ronald
Reagan, Bob Dole and George
H.W. Bush, as well as Thompsons
senate campaigns. After Bob Doles
1996 presidential campaign, Lacy
took a break from politics until
he was named the director of the
Dole Institute
in 2004. In
August 2007,
Lacy took a
leave of absence
from his job as
director to man-
age Thompsons
campaign.
When I first
heard from
T h o mp s o n ,
Senator Dole and Chancellor
Hemenway were very excited
about a leave of absence, Lacy
said. They thought it was impor-
tant for me to practice what I
preach every day. I wouldnt have
done it with out their support.
Lacy said he had a lot of sup-
port from the Lawrence commu-
nity regarding his decision as well
as from University students.
I literally got hundreds of
e-mails from the community
congratulating me, Lacy said.
The democrats were just as sup-
portive as the Republicans, not
of Thompson but of me getting
involved again.
Jonathan Earle, interim direc-
tor of the Dole Institute, said he
really encouraged Lacy to take the
position, but Earle said he looked
forward to having Lacy back at
the Institute.
I know how much he liked
working in politics and this was
a chance for him to get back into
that and work for someone he
believes in.
Clarissa Unger, Colby junior
and student assistant at the Dole
Institute, said she missed Lacy
but knew that he was doing great
things.
He has always told us that
when the opportunity comes to
serve your country, you have to
take that opportunity, Unger
said.
Lacy said he loved working on
Thompsons campaign, but that
he had forgotten how fast-paced
presidential campaigns are.
Their idea was to do an
announcement within a month of
when I got here, but there were no
plans for it. A lot of the candidates
had been in the race for a year
before I got here. But at the end of
the day, we think we have a really
good candidate.
Lacy also said he only had 10
days off since he began work-
ing on Thompsons campaign. He
now works twice as many hours as
he did at the Dole Institute.
I am literally making things
happen from the time I get in
every day, and its a pace that is
relentless, Lacy said. Whenever
I get back to the Institute I will
take the connections I have built
up and try to increase the quality
of our programming.
Lacy said he expected
Thompson to do well in South
Carolinas primary election
on Saturday. He also said Feb.
5,would be Thompsons real test
when many of the southern states
have their primary elections,
including Tennessee, Thompsons
home state.
I plan on not being back until
after the November election,
Lacy said.

Erika Dvorske, University
alumna, remembers the moment
that inspired her to become more
involved in her community.
She was in high school volun-
teering for an Angel Tree Christmas
event when she found herself in
a deep conversation with a quad-
riplegic man.
We had a lovely conversation
about the importance of people giv-
ing of themselves, Dvorske said.
After the man left, another vol-
unteer explained to Dvorske that
the man was a star high school
football player with a full-ride col-
lege scholarship.
I realized that we all have the
opportunity to impact someone
else, Dvorske said. That oppor-
tunity might only come along once,
so we need to take advantage of it.
She is now the president and
CEO of United Way of Douglas
County. Wednesday night the orga-
nization announced that it raised
$1.72 million in one year. Thats
$20 thousand more than the annual
campaign expected, and 5 percent
more than it raised last year.
It was a lot more than Chuck
Warner, co-chairman of the cam-
paign, expected.
We were concerned when
we started that the economy was
really slow, but the town and the
University and all the businesses in
the area came together and did a
really great job, he said.
United Way also announced it
awarded a $47.2 thousand grant to
the local Skills Builder Program,
which helps widows develop skills
for living alone.
Dvorske said she was unsure
how the rest of the money would
be distributed.
Im just trying to get my feet on
the ground for now, she said. Im
excited to be in Lawrence and Im
excited to be working with these
great people.
Dvorske graduated from the
University of Tulsa in 1995 and
volunteered for the Jesuit Volunteer
Corp. for a year in Sacramento,
Calif. She eventually enrolled at
the University and earned a mas-
ters degree in Slavic Literature in
1998 and also earned a masters in
English.
Shortly after graduating in 2001,
Dvorske started working for United
Way in an unpaid research and
marketing position.
She said her job was to ask the
different agencies to report on what
elements of their programs made
the most impact.
We need to measure our prog-
ress, said Dvorske. Its not about
helping x amount of people.
The United Way of Douglas
County promoted her in 2003 to
the director of community invest-
ments, which gave her full respon-
sibility over the distribution of
funds.
After working in that position
for more than five years, she is now
president and CEO of the organiza-
tion.
I think shes going to be won-
derful, Warner said. Erika brings
a lot of energy and personality to
the job.

This afternoon at the Kansas Union,
more than 10 student groups will
come together to honor the memory
of Senegalese police officer and United
Nations peacekeeper Babacar Ndiaye.
The groups will also express support
for his wife, former KU doctoral stu-
dent Selbee Diouf, by denouncing
the actions of the terrorist group, al-
Qaida.
Emmanuel Birdling, outreach coor-
dinator for the Kansas African Studies
Center, said he expected representatives
from the Black Student Union, Chabad
Jewish Student Group and Amnesty
International to attend, among others.
The groups will take turns making a
brief statement expressing their soli-
darity and denouncing the actions of
al-Qaida. Students are encouraged to
attend, Birdling said.
Ndiaye was the victim of a Dec. 11,
2007, blast from two car bombs that
tore apart a block in Algerias capital
of Algiers. Hospital officials treating
victims estimated between 40 and 60
innocent people lost their lives to an
al-Qaida terrorist organization target-
ing UN offices and the constitutional
court.
Sarah Madden, Topeka senior, stud-
ied abroad in Senegal in the fall of 2006.
Diouf was one of her professors while
studying in Dakar, Senegal. Madden
said Diouf positively influenced her
experience in Senegal and she was sad-
dened by Ndiayes death.
Having this happen to such a sweet
lady is very disturbing and upsetting,
Madden said. Nobody deserves to
have to go through that.
Ndiaye and Diouf were both active
on campus. Birdling said both had
been active in his organization and
Ndiaye made a presentation at a KASC
seminar.
He said the tragedy was a personal
reminder that violence, like the bomb-
ings in Algeria, has a wide-sweeping
effect.
For me, this is the closest that it has
hit home, Birdling said. Selbee was
part of us and will remain part of us.
Madden, an African studies major
and president of the Africana Club,
said her group would participate in the
event this afternoon. She said it was
important to remember that violence
affects more than just the victims.
I think that our group wants to
be there to show that there are people
aware of things like this going on and
it affects more than just the people
involved, Madden said.
Birdling said that coming together
to denounce al-Qaida terrorism was
the best way to remember Ndiaye and
express sympathy for his wife. Diouf is
currently in Senegal.
We believe at this juncture that we
need to come together as a group and
as a community just to voice our con-
cern over this type of action, he said.
KASC director Garth Myers said
Ndiayes dedication to putting a stop
to violence in North Africa would be
remembered through his work with
the UN and Senegalese government.
Babacar dedicated his life to peace
and justice, and the center wanted to
remember his commitment to world
peace and understanding, Myers said
in a press release.
Although she hasnt spoken to Diouf
since the incident, Madden said Diouf
was in her thoughts and she would do
whatever was needed to provide sup-
port to her former professor.
She was a Senegalese, but she got
her degree at KU, she said. We are
reuniting again even though its over a
tragic incident.

A new parking program for students
without yellow parking passes began
Thursday at the Student Recreation
Fitness Center.
Previously, the recreation centers
parking lot only had spaces for yellow
parking passes and spaces with parking
meters. The new program will allot the
row of spaces closest to the recreation
center to students with a valid residence
hall or Park & Ride pass. Students who
park there have to go inside the recre-
ation center to get a special pass to hang
from their rearview mirror.
Yellow parking passes are not avail-
able to incoming freshmen, and off-
campus freshmen must use Park & Ride
lots when parking to go to class.
For some students, like Elise Langtry,
Prairie Village freshman, the program
will help with a workout schedule.
Langtry has a residence hall pass that
previously was not valid during the day.
Im always afraid of parking, Langtry
said. It would be so much more conve-
nient than having to walk in the snow.
Kevin Weingarten, St. Louis freshman
and Hashinger Hall resident, goes to the
recreation center often. Last semester,
his schedule allowed him to work out at
night. This semester, he wants to go dur-
ing the day. He thinks the passes will be
helpful and easy to use.
If the parking is that close to the rec-
reation center, it wouldnt be that much a
hassle to get the pass, Weingarten said.
Other students think the new parking
spots arent going to change anything.
Kevin Neslage, Wichita freshman,
said he never goes to the recreation cen-
ter during the day.
If I go during the day, Im probably
going to walk anyway, Neslage said.
Donna Hultine, director of the
Parking Department, said the program
was geared toward students who oth-
erwise would not be able to park at the
recreation center during the day. She said
the program began as an experiment.
My fear is that there wont be that
many students who use it from 8 a.m. to
4 p.m., Hultine said.
Improving parking was a platform for
United Students, and student body vice
president Ray Wittlinger, Olathe senior,
spoke to many students who thought
parking at the recreation center was an
issue.
The recreation center is one of the
places where all students congregate,
Wittlinger said. The more students who
are there, the better.
The closest row to the recreation cen-
ter has more than 40 spots that will be
marked by signs for the program. A
student with a valid residence hall or
Park & Ride pass can park in the spots.
Students must go inside to the entrance
desk to get a tag that hangs over their
rearview mirror and acts as a pass. The
student can have the tag valid for up to
three hours, and their desired time frame
is written on the tag.
Checks are in place to prevent stu-
dents abusing the system and going to
class instead of to the recreation center.
Recreation center employees track
the passes, and Parking Department
employees will check for both a resi-
dence hall or Park & Ride pass and a
valid tag within its time limit from the
recreation center.
Students with yellow passes who park
in the spots will get warning tickets at the
beginning of the semester, as students
get used to the new system. Eventually,
students without the correct passes will
get a $20 parking ticket.
Mary Chappell, director of the recre-
ation services, said parking has been an
ongoing problem.
Any time we can assist students in
opportunities and working out at the
recreation center, we want to take a look,
Chappell said.

SafeRide is moving toward a
greener campus with new hybrid
cars and a new contract with envi-
ronmentally-friendly goals.
SafeRide obtained six Prius
hybrid cars in November 2007.
SafeRide is under contract with
MV Transportation, a national
company which also handles KU
on Wheels and SafeBus. The com-
pany bought the cars to replace the
vehicles SafeRide previously used,
leased Taurus cars.
Mike Sweeton, general manager
of MV Transportation, said the com-
pany used environmentally-friendly
vehicles in other contracts across the
country.
We wanted to reduce the amount
of fuel consumption we have,
Sweeton said.
MV Transportations contract
with the University began at the
beginning of the Spring 2007 semes-
ter and expires at the end of this
year. The new transportation con-
tract, written by the University, will
require any transportation company
that bids for a contract must provide
hybrid vehicles that get a minimum
of 33 miles per gallon.
May Davis, Clay Center sopho-
more and coordinator for KU on
Wheels Transportation, said the cars
follow a trend toward environmental
awareness on campus.
The buses run on biodiesel fuel
and recycle bins are placed all over
campus.
It would be against the theme of
campus to keep the old buses and
cars, Davis said.
SafeRide pays the company an
hourly rate of $37.76 for each run-
ning vehicle. Students pay a $6 fee
each semester for SafeRide, which
the Parking Department uses to
pay MV Transportation. This year,
SafeRide generated $291,417 in stu-
dent fees.
Davis said that in addition to
being better for the environment,
the cars improve the overall look of
SafeRide.
The new cars are cleaner, the logo
is on the side of the car instead of
in the window, and the front dash
shows whether the battery or fuel
is running the car. She said she had
requests from people who wanted
SafeRide to get newer, cleaner cars.
Davis said she has heard positive
feedback from students riding in
the cars.
People ride in the new cars and
like them, Davis said. The more
people like them, the less drunk
drivers there are.

EQUAL HOUSING
OPPORTUNI TY
By BRETT ZONGKER
AssOciATEd PREss
WASHINGTON Stephen
Colbert was denied when he tried
to run for president this year in
South Carolina. Now the fake TV
pundit is getting some love from
the city of his birth.
His portrait was hung
Wednesday at the Smithsonian
Institutions National Portrait
Gallery in Washington for a six-
week showing in what the museum
considers an appropriate place
right between the bathrooms near
the Americas Presidents exhibit.
Museum officials stress its only
temporary.
We agreed to go along with the
joke and hang it for a short time
in between the bathrooms, said
museum spokeswoman Bethany
Bentley. Let me tell you two key
things here: His portrait is not com-
ing into the collection, and its not
hanging permanently.
That may come as a surprise
to Colbert, who has campaigned
for the honor and boasted on his
Comedy Central show Tuesday
night that his portrait was hang-
ing in the hall of presidents, just
a few yards from the father of our
country exactly where I believe
it belongs.
Colbert, who plays a pompous
conservative talk-show host on
The Colbert Report and recent-
ly tried to run for president as a
Democrat, went to great lengths to
persuade Smithsonian Institution
officials he was worthy.
The portrait actually three
portraits in one depicts a debo-
nair Colbert standing at a fireplace
in front of a similar portrait of
himself posing in front of the same
mantel with a
third picture of
himself.
After the
work was
rejected by
the National
Museum of
A m e r i c a n
History, Colbert
eventually made
his way to
the portrait gallery. Bentley said
Colbert wasnt begging so much
as making his case. She said they
welcome the conversation about
whose portraits are included in the
gallerys collection. It was just not
Colberts time, she said.
Whos the competition? Who
do I need to knock out of here to
get me up? Colbert asked gallery
director Marc Pachter.
Colbert argued he was more
deserving than athletes Lance
Armstrong or Andre Agassi and
pulled out his Hacky Sack for a few
kicks in the art gallery to prove it.
You do realize Im in big trouble
if you hit any of these portraits,
Pachter said.
Still, Colbert said he thinks
his sack work ultimately won
Pachter over for the temporary
display.
I dont mean to brag, but as
it contains three portraits, my
portrait has more portraits than
any other portrait in the National
P o r t r a i t
Gallery, he
said, adding,
All Employees
must wash
hands before
returning to
work.
Word of his
portrait at the
gallery spread
quickly among
loyal fans.
Unique Bexley, 20, and
Jacqueline Canales, 19, both of
Washington, said they talked on
the telephone after watching the
show Tuesday and decided they
had to go to the portrait gallery.
Its kind of sad that this is the
first time weve been here, Canales
said Wednesday as a steady stream
of young admirers took their pic-
tures with Colberts portrait.
We might look at the rest of
the museum, but we really came
for Colbert, Bexley said. I need-
ed a new Facebook picture, so
it might as well be with Stephen
Colbert.

LOS ANGELES Hollywood
directors have reached a tentative
contract deal with studios after five
days of negotia-
tions, the direc-
tors union said
Thursday.
The agree-
ment puts pres-
sure on striking
writers to end
their walkout
that has lasted
more than two
months and idled work on dozens
of TV shows.
Two words describe this agree-
ment groundbreaking and sub-
stantial, said Gil Cates, chairman
of the Directors Guild of Americas
negotiations committee. There are
no rollbacks of any kind.
Among other things, the agree-
ment increases both wages and
residuals for each year of the con-
tract.
It also estab-
lishes guild
jurisdiction over
programs pro-
duced for dis-
tribution on the
Internet and sets
a new residuals
formula for paid
Internet down-
loads that essen-
tially doubles the
rate currently paid by employers,
the guild said.
It also set residual rates for ad-
supported streaming and use of
clips on the Internet.
Payment for programs offered
on the Internet is a key stick-
ing point between the studios and
striking writers.
The rapidly concluded directors
contract could serve as an industry
template for the central issue of
new media compensation among
other unions in Hollywood.
The writers guild, however, has
said directors do not represent
their interests.
Writers repeated the same
refrain when asked how their
walkout might be affected if direc-
tors reached a quick deal.
Its important to remember
that they do not represent actors
and writers, the Writers Guild of
America has said.
The directors guild was pre-
pared when it started negotiations
Jan. 12.
Two words describe this agree-
ment groundbreaking and
substantial.

If you were to do some
snooping to find out if some-
one you were interested in was
liberal or conservative, the
easiest route to take would be
Facebook.
If you were to go hunting
in this manner for my political
affiliation, you would see on
my Facebook that I am liber-
al. But if you were a really dirty
P.I., you might have been con-
fused why I spent last weekend
at the 38th Annual Missouri
Valley Arms Collectors Gun
Show, where Dutch VanKirk,
navigator on the Enola Gay,
the B-29 bomber that dropped
the first atomic bomb on
Hiroshima, shook hands and
signed autographs.
Allegiance to a political
party is an association that
many young adults begin to feel
strongly about as they become
a part of a campus world of
powerful ideas and entreaties
to be the generation respon-
sible for positive change.
It is safe to say (like many
other public universities) that
the University of Kansas is a
very liberal one.
According to the Kansas
Equality Coalitions Web site,
Lawrence was the only city in
the notoriously Bible-belted
Kansas in which the majority
of voters opposed the Marriage
Protection Amendment, and
the Lawrence City Commission
was the first in Kansas to pass a
domestic partner registry.
Lawrence is surely an inde-
pendent entity in a bubble with-
in Kansas, and it can be easy to
lose awareness of the world
around us when the warmth,
excitement and progressive-
ness of Lawrence become our
reality.
The University, then, can be
seen as another bubble world
within Lawrence that can make
us feel empowered and peri-
odically aloof when academia
and knowledge lend insight
into lofty analyses of race, gen-
der, art, literature, etc.
In this bubble, we can too
easily overlook the fact that we
breathe the same air as those
we know of only in textbooks
and lectures.
I have met some of the
most interesting, warm, sen-
timental and generous people
at National Rifle Association-
sponsored events, behind dis-
play tables of cowboy guns.
I began doing photography
for an antique gun collector/
auctioneer when I was in high
school and was initially uneasy
about being near firearms.
The idea of me being
comfortable around weap-
ons, which were purposed for
death, terrified me.
In time, I became comfort-
able handling firearms. After
the initial shock of being one
of only three or four women
at a day-long auction seating
hundreds of older men, I found
my place in the world of gun
guys.
After many discomforting
questions, conversations and
exchanges, I gained respect
from and grew affectionate for
other enthusiasts and many
retired farmers that I may
have once dismissed as closed-
minded, simple old fools.
Although my gun-guy
friends and I disagree fre-
quently, they have taught me
that you can connect with any-
one through genuine sincerity.
We have come to obtusely
think of conservative people
like gun guys as closed-minded
and liberals as open-minded.
But these groups of people
with polar opposite political
ideals can be equally accused
of sealing shut their bubble
worlds from ideas that can, at
the very least, affirm their own.
If you get too confident, it is
sometimes easy to say you are
wrong if you dont believe in
what I do.
This only segregates you
further.
There are many stigmas
about Kansas, and it is easy
to feel as if we are constantly
fighting conservative force, but
in Lawrence, liberalism is the
norm.
I am by no means passing
judgment on any one group,
but rather I am encouraging
you to step outside of where
you feel comfortable. This
is in regards to any instance
(although here exemplified by
political stance) that you might
find yourself sweating in.
I believe in uneasiness as
it relates to being regret-free.
Being aware of yourself in a
situation in which you are
uncomfortable or the minority
only makes you and your ideas
more informed and powerful.
And who in the hell wants
to be contained and comfort-
able all the time?

The many faces of 2008
In the name of meth
and crack, recent Kansas
Legislation has toughened
up on what it now considers
drug paraphernalia.
This most recent infringe-
ment on civil rights (the
right to buy a piece of glass
without the county assum-
ing youre going to use it
to inhale meth) comes from
Paul Davis, whose bill was
introduced to the Kansas
House of Representatives in
early 2006.
It is especially surpris-
ing that Davis, a Lawrence
representative, endorses this
bill, knowing the harmful
economic effects it could
have on some businesses in
Lawrence.
Changes to the bill are
included in the supple-
mentary notes, which read:
Provided that, although an
item has not been used or
did not contain a controlled
substance, this would not be
a defense to a charge of drug
paraphernalia.
The logic behind this ban
stems from the conventional
wisdom that preaches if the
meth-smoking devices arent
available, meth wont be a
problem.
But who smokes meth out
of a hookah?
No one does.
This ban is not hurting the
meth and crack dealers that
may live in Douglas County,
but instead it is affecting
many local businesses that
students know and recognize
as contributing to Lawrences
atmosphere.
Among the business affect-
ed are Aladdins Cafe, Third
Planet, Creation Station and
the Hookah House, all locat-
ed on Massachusetts Street.
Moreover, the glassblow-
ers and local artists whose
well being depends on selling
their glass products to these
businesses will be damaged.
The city has targeted meth
and crack use and has waved
the in the name of the
children flag without even
proving to constituents that
a meth and crack problem
exists in Douglas County.
District Attorney Charles
Bronson reported to the
Lawrence Journal-World
that this isnt going to stop
people from doing drugs,
but its going to make it less
available.
Two parts of Bronsons
statement are particularly
vague and questionable.
First, he admits that this
wont stop the drug prob-
lem, and second, he did not
specifically call attention
to crack or meth as being
the inspirations behind the
change in what parapherna-
lia is.
But it is certainly the
key and operative word in
Bronsons statement.
Does it mean meth?
Because putting Third
Planet out of business will
not shorten the supply of
meth.
Does it mean crack?
But if it means bongs,
pipes and hookahs, then this
measure could not be more
effective.
It certainly will make buy-
ing a pipe more difficult.
Although this is a state-
wide ban, so far only Douglas
County officials seem enthu-
siastic about enforcing it.
Now Lawrencians will
have to drive into Kansas
City.
What was once used to pre-
serve a memory or leave a leg-
acy to pass down through gen-
erations has now turned into
an egocentric, self-absorbed
facefest.
The idea of picture taking
has made many unique trans-
formations since the first cam-
eras were invented.
What was once known as
a Kodak moment has been
morphed into a Facebook
moment, where shame has no
meaning and the drunker you
are, the better.
Taking pictures of ourselves
has become an addiction, and,
alas, I was not able to escape
its digital grasp.
Now instead of just tell-
ing people what an awesome
time you had, you can post
your super-interesting, ultra-
fun life on the Internet for the
whole world to see.
In some ways, its nice to see
what friends have been up to.
Whether its someones
study abroad trip or pictures
of a new baby, those things are
at least interesting and monu-
mental in that persons life.
Then you get the albums
entitled things like My
Drunken Sh*tshow where
there are 50 up-close pictures
of Betty Sue and Bonnie Jane
making different faces at the
camera, with captions like
best night of our lives! and
1 tequila 2 tequila 3 tequila...
MORE.
Somehow that outlines their
super-rad evening.
Why is it becoming ritual
to spend an evening taking
drunken pictures of ourselves
and then looking at them right
away?
I cant help but think that
American society is becoming
more and more self-obsessed
by the minute.
And yet, I posted pictures
of a recent trip online today.
I do it, but there is just this
twinge of self-doubt and guilt
in the back of my mind.
Why am I posting these?
Who do I want to look at
them, and what satisfaction
am I getting from that?
Its gotten to the point where
people purposefully have their
camera ready in hand when
the party gets raging just to
catch people doing disgraceful
things. Their inner monologue
saying, Oh yeah, this is gonna
be great, with tomorrows new
album title in mind: beer +
hoes = awesome.
The next day theres a pic-
ture of Jenny Lou straddling
some guy as hes taking a jello
shot out of her cleavage.
The caption says something
like atta boy or FRAT
and Jennys comment about
the photo is OMG Johnny,
I cant believe you took that
picture, but she doesnt untag
herself and inside shes think-
ing, They like me! They really
like me.
I mean really, who cares,
were in college, and its all fun
and games until you need to
get a job or run for a politi-
cal office and those pictures
resurface.
The picture of you lying in
a pool of your own vomit is
not going to do you any favors
when your potential employer
says, Ah, so I see youre on
Facebook.
The more I think about it,
the more ridiculous the whole
circus becomes.
My friends are always post-
ing old pictures of me back
in my wild stage freshman
year, granted Im not lying in a
pool of my own puke in any of
those pictures, but I still look
like a jackass in a lot of them.
I wish there was a way to
stop the madness and get back
to what the picture was sup-
posed to represent, not this
perverse version of pictures
that has taken over modern
society.
But for some reason, I just
cant seem to click that delete
button.
The power of the guilty
pleasure is too much for this
mere human to overcome.

For weeks before Big 12 Conference
play, senior forward Taylor McIntosh told
freshman forward Nicollette Smith and
freshman center Krysten Boogaard how
much more intense games would become
in January.
McIntoshs advice
didnt fall on deaf ears.
She told us its going
to get a lot harder,
and it definitely has,
Boogaard said. We
have just got to keep
our composure.
After winning 11
of 13 games during
nonconference play,
Bonnie Henricksons
team looked primed to
improve on last seasons 4-12 mark in Big
12 Conference play.
An 0-3 start hasnt dampened hopes for
the young squad, but the freshman post
duo said they knew they must continue to
adapt to the change in the quality of oppo-
nents to help Kansas be successful.
The two have learned quickly that what
passed for quality post play in November
and December is much different against
the likes of Oklahoma State, Nebraska
and Baylor.
They are a lot more physical and they
run the floor a lot better than nonconfer-
ence teams, Smith said. So you are not
only having to muscle them down low but
then you have to run the full length of the
court.
Despite impressing
during the Jayhawks
fast start, Smith and
Boogaard have found
life against stronger
and more athletic posts
more challenging.
Through the first three
games of the confer-
ence schedule the two
have struggled to stay
out of foul trouble.
During the opening
three games the two have combined for 21
personal fouls, an average of more than
three fouls per game each. Smith said
Henrickson had stressed better defensive
positioning and focus. The concentration
on the defensive end has been a transi-

This weekends trip to Columbia, Mo.,
carries no special significance for Brandon
Rush.
This is my third time around, Rush
said. Im not really on that rivalry thing
no more.
Maybe Rush is right. Is this rivalry all
that special anymore?
The Kansas-Missouri rivalry, still a favor-
ite of fans and most players, hasnt produced
as many mesmerizing games and thrilling
match ups the last few years. The Tigers are
3-11 against the Jayhawks since 2002, and
Kansas has won those 11 games by an aver-
age margin of 13.5 points.
Missouri shouldnt fret too much about
that record, though. Kansas has been almost
that good against everyone else. From 2002
through last year, the Jayhawks have been
to two Final Fours and two Elite Eights.
Theyve won five Big 12 regular season
titles and two Big 12 Tournament champi-
onships.
While Kansas was playing some of its
best basketball, Missouri began to flounder
under former coach Quin Snyder. He led the
team to the Elite Eight in 2002 then returned
to the NCAA Tournament only once more
before he resigned in 2006. Not only did he
fail to reach the postseason, he didnt beat the

This weekend you may want to ask your
friends whether they get ESPNU, or channel
141, which will host the basketball teams first
road game against Missouri this Saturday at
7 p.m. CST. For those curious about whether
or not you have ESPNU, it is only available
to those with the Silver TV and Gold TV
packages through Sunflower, which are not
so moderately priced at $63.80 and $108.70
per month.
If you call Sunflower Broadband, a record-
ed message with a womans voice says, Be
sure to ask how you can watch the KU vs.
MU away game this weekend that is only on
Channel 141, ESPNU, included in the Sports
Pack. Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Go KU! Once
you get in contact with a customer service
representative, that person will tell you how
you can watch the game. For those who have
Sunflower Broadbands Bronze TV pack-
age, it is an additional $7.95 per month for
the sports package. If you have the Silver
TV or Gold TV package, the sports pack-
age is included.
Luckily, for those who do not have
ESPNU, this weekends rivalry matchup
against Missouri is the only game the rest of
the season on the obscure niche channel. The
rest of Kansas games are on ESPN, ESPN2,
ABC and CBS. With this considered, this is
a perfect chance to satisfy your insatiable
desire for chicken wings or cheeseburgers
at a nearby Applebees, Buffalo Wild Wings
or Old Chicago. From a cultural perspec-
tive, these are common foods involved with
sporting events in this country.
But on to this weekends game against
Missouri. The Tigers are a tough team this
year. Their resume boasts a 97-84 victory
over then-No. 13 Texas on Jan. 12. To put
things in perspective, Texas is a team that
defeated UCLA on Dec. 2, who was ranked
No. 1 in the AP poll.
After the Tigers win against the
Longhorns, Missouri was recognized as a
legitimate threat this season. Coach Bill Self
expressed his thoughts on Kansas playing
Missouri during the postgame press confer-
ence after the Jayhawks blowout victory over
Oklahoma Monday.
We wont be over-confident going to
Columbia, said Self. Missouri got every-
ones attention in the league the way that they
handled Texas.
Missouri also boasts an 84-70 victory over
Maryland at the Sprint Center in Kansas City,
Mo. The night before defeating Maryland,
the Tigers nearly made a comeback against
a then-No. 11 Michigan State. The Tigers
were down 51-41 at halftime but managed to
make a comeback in the second half before
coming up short in the final two seconds,
83-86.
On the flip side, Missouri already has six
losses this season and lost its first conference
game to Iowa State 67-72 Wednesday night.
Missouris other losses came against major
conference opponents Arkansas, California,
Illinois and Mississippi State. Its worst loss
was 75-87 against Mississippi State on Dec.
30, 2007.
This years Missouri Tigers are playing to
the level of their opponents and have an 8-0
record at home. Given the fact Kansas and
Missouri are archrivals, this game is a test for
the Jayhawks. The last three years, Missouri
was 2-1 against Kansas in Columbia, Mo.
With the tension amongst Kansas and
Missouri fans during football season, one
can expect a hostile environment full of loud
Tigers fans at Mizzou Arena Saturday night.
Coach Self mentioned after the Oklahoma
game that he anticipated a juiced-up atmo-
sphere in Columbia Saturday. He also men-
tioned his eagerness to travel to Columbia
as well.
I really enjoy going to Columbia. Were
not going to vacation there this summer, but
I really enjoy the atmosphere of going there,
Self said.
For Kansas fans who are fortunate enough
to find a place to watch the game on ESPNU,
this game may just be a nailbiter.

Defense coach leaves for Miami
football
BY AsHER FusCo
afusco@kansan.com
The Associated Press reported Thursday
that Kansas defensive coordinator Bill
Young has accepted the same position at
the University of Miami. According to AP,
Young is in the process
of filing paperwork
with Miami, and terms
of the deal have not
been finalized.
During his six year
tenure at the University,
Young directed defens-
es that were consistently among the best
in the Big 12 Conference. In his first year
as the Jayhawks defensive coordinator, the
team allowed 472 total yards per game. By
his third year at the helm, Young helped
whittle that figure to 303 yards per game.
Last season the Jayhawks finished 12th in
the nation in total defense and fourth in the
country in points allowed per game.
Young will inherit a Miami defense that
ranked 33rd in the nation in total defense
in 2007 and he will join a team that won
just five games and failed to reach bowl
eligibility.

A good luck charm crime
Randy Moss faces court
for dispute with friend
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. New
England Patriots coach Bill
Belichick expressed strong sup-
port Thursday for wide receiver
Randy Moss, the subject of a tem-
porary restraining order obtained
by a longtime friend.
Belichick said he wasnt
concerned about the allegation
brought by Rachelle Washington
that Moss committed battery or
about how it might afect Moss
on Sunday in the AFC champion-
ship game against the San Diego
Chargers.
Washingtons attorney issued
a statement Thursday saying that
Moss representatives were the
frst to suggest that Moss pay the
woman to keep the issue quiet,
according to NBCSports.com.
The attorney, David McGill, and
Moss agent, Tim DiPiero, did not
returns telephone calls from The
Associated Press.
On Wednesday, Moss said that
suggestion came from her side
and totaled six fgures. He called
it a situation of extortion.
No criminal charge has been
brought.
Belichick spoke briefy on
questions about the matter
Thursday.
I think Randys covered those,
and Ive talked to Randy about it,
and I support Randy 100 percent,
he said.
Moss spent about 10 minutes
in front of his locker on Wednes-
day vehemently denying the
allegations.
On Monday, the temporary
restraining order was issued in
Broward County, Fla., ordering
Moss to stay at least 500 feet from
the home of Washington, who
alleged he committed battery ...
causing serious injury to her at
her home in Fort Lauderdale on
Jan. 6, the Sunday of the Patriots
playof bye week.
A hearing on issuing a perma-
nent restraining order is sched-
uled for 3 p.m. Jan. 28, six days
before the Super Bowl.
Moss said the woman has
been a friend of his for 11 years
and that she asked for six fgures
for what he said was an accident
in which she was hurt. Washing-
ton, 35, alleged they had been in
an intimate relationship since
1997.
Her attorneys statement said
she has cared deeply for Mr.
Moss and has been there for him
throughout all of his trials and
tribulations during the past 11
years and didnt intend to hurt
Moss.
However, she has sufered
mental and physical harm as a
result of his actions, the state-
ment said. She simply wants him
to take responsibility for what
he has done. As a battery victim,
she has shown great strength
throughout this entire ordeal.
Ms. Washington has been un-
fairly characterized as someone
simply seeking fnancial gain. In
fact, it was Mr. Moss representa-
tives who frst contacted our
ofce to ofer a six fgure settle-
ment with hopes of not having
this incident become public
record.
Washington also alleged that
Moss refused to allow her to seek
medical treatment. Moss denied
that. McGills statement did not
specify an injury.

STeroiDS
FBI to examine drug use
in Miguel Tejada case
WASHINGTON Miguel
Tejada is under FBI scrutiny, of-
cials said Thursday after opening
a preliminary investigation into
whether the former AL MVP lied
when he told federal authorities
he never took steroids or other
performance-enhancing drugs.
The inquiry, in response to a
congressional request, amounts
to an initial look at facts sur-
rounding the case. It does not
mean charges will be brought
against the Houston Astros short-
stop, who in 2002 won his MVP
award while with Oakland.
The Justice Department has
referred the Miguel Tejada mat-
ter to the FBI, and a preliminary
inquiry will be conducted, FBI
spokesman Richard Kolko said
Thursday.
Investigators with the FBIs
ofce in Washington will handle
the inquiry. It is unclear how long
initial fact-fnding will take.
I dont have any comment,
said Tejadas lawyer, Mark Tuohey,
who said he was unaware of the
FBIs involvement until contacted
by The Associated Press.
At issue are comments Tejada
gave to House committee inves-
tigators in August 2005 when he
was with the Baltimore Orioles.
He denied during the interview
that he used illegal performance-
enhancing drugs or knew of
other players using or talking
about steroids.
Tejada was among a num-
ber of star athletes named in a
lengthy report by former Senate
majority leader George Mitchell,
released last month, that looked
at drug use in baseball.
The Astros had no comment
on news that the FBI is now inves-
tigating Tejada. Drayton McLane,
the Astros owner, was attending
the baseball owners meeting in
Scottsdale, Ariz., and was not im-
mediately available for comment.
Tejada was in the Dominican
Republic for the funeral of his
brother, who died Tuesday in a
motorcycle accident there.
Its important we determine
whether Mr. Tejada misled an
investigative committee of the
House of Representatives, said
Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, the
top Republican on the House
Oversight committee. Its also
important that those who come
before the committee under-
stand we are serious when we tell
them they must tell the truth or
face serious penalties.
Tejadas interview with con-
gressional aides, held Aug. 26,
2005, at a Baltimore hotel, was in
connection with an inquiry over
whether his then-teammate, Ra-
fael Palmeiro, had used steroids.
Palmeiro had denied during
House testimony in March that
year that he had used steroids,
then tested positive later in 2005
and was suspended for 10 days.
He said his positive test could
have resulted from a B-12 vitamin
injection given to him by Tejada.

NFL
Brett Favre, Eli Manning
are Americas sweethearts
GREEN BAY, Wis. If Americas
game has a quarterback, it has to
be Brett Favre. And if Americas
game has a kid brother quarter-
back, it has to be Eli Manning.
Favre is an icon not only in
Green Bay, where he has led the
Packers to two Super Bowls in 16
mostly successful seasons, but
throughout pro football.
Although it has not exactly been
a sentimental journey to Sundays
NFC championship game there
is little room for sentiment in such
a rugged sport Favres trip back
to the NFLs pinnacle has at least
been inspirational.
Who wouldnt be uplifted by his
tale? For the past two years, No.
4 has toyed with the emotions of
everyone in his adopted state, plus
the folks back in his native Missis-
sippi: Would he retire or return?
Were the of-feld troubles and
tragedies, from the deaths of his
father and wife Deannas stepfather
and brother to Deannas bout with
breast cancer, enough to force him
from the game he so clearly loves?
Each time, after weeks of pon-
dering his future, Favre returned.
Each of those seasons, the Packers
were also-rans.
Theyre anything but also-rans
now, preparing to play Manning
and the Giants for a trip to the Su-
per Bowl. Favre owns nearly all the
NFLs signifcant passing records,
and his consecutive starts streak is
perhaps the most amazing of all:
274, including postseason.
Yet Favre remains a kid at heart
and a kid at play. And grateful
for where he has been, where he
is now, and where he might be
going.
I would be lying if I said I was
not enjoying it, he said. But it has
been what, 11 years ... since we
even made it this far. So I dont
want to say that I got to a point
where I had forgotten what that
was like, or my goals were not
what they used to be, but in some
respects it had kind of gotten that
way.
I didnt get used to losing we
only had one losing season but
we were far removed, it seems like,
from that. So the standpoint that
we are back in it, this is my fourth
opportunity in a championship
game, what I will say is that I ap-
preciate it. I dont want to say that
I savor the moment more, but four
tries in 17 years, and to a certain
degree that is better than most
guys.
But I am very proud of the fact
that we have gotten this far.
Its somewhat stunning the
Packers have gotten so far, if only
because of where they were in
early December 2006: 4-8. But they
won their fnal four games of that
season, then went 13-3 and man-
handled Seattle in the snow globe
of Lambeau Field last Saturday.
Coach Mike McCarthy has
reined in Favres riverboat gambler
alter-ego just enough that he had
one of his most efcient seasons.
His leadership is unquestioned,
particularly in respect to a gener-
ally inexperienced supporting cast,
including young wide receivers
and running backs.
Well, in the middle of the game
Im not thinking that, lead runner
Ryan Grant said of the legend of
Favre. There have been some
times when people really bring it
to my attention.
But after the fact, after the
game, maybe after a pass, I am
thinking, wow, I am playing with
Brett Favre, and thats something
special, and Im defnitely honored
to be a part of it. But when were
playing, hes another quarterback.
Hes a great leader for us and we
just take advantage of it.
Leadership was not a word
often used in conjunction with the
younger Manning, even though
the Giants made the playofs the
past two seasons with him at quar-
terback. They lost in the frst round
both times.
Eli has the unfortunate dilemma
of not being older brother Peyton,
and having to play where the tab-
loids and talk radio fanatics cut no
slack. New York has not been kind
through Elis growing process.
That the Big Apple has become
enamored of him lately is noth-
ing like the hero worship aforded
Favre, of course. The love could
turn back to venom as soon as,
well, Sunday night if the Giants fall
short of getting a Manning to a
second straight Super Bowl.

World Series MVP speaks
out against drug tests
BOSTON World Series MVP
Mike Lowell is willing to give
blood if thats what it takes to be
tested for human growth hor-
mone. But only if the test is 100
percent accurate. Not 99 percent.
If its 99 percent accurate,
thats going to be seven false pos-
itives, the Red Sox third baseman
said Thursday before the annual
dinner of the Boston chapter of
the Baseball Writers Association
of America. Ninety-three percent
is 70 guys. Thats almost three
whole rosters.
A respected voice in the
Red Sox clubhouse who wasnt
mentioned in the Mitchell Report,
Lowell nonetheless came under
suspicion in 2005 when, in the
frst year of testing in baseball, he
went through the worst slump of
his career.
Two strong years since then
including his World Series perfor-
mance in 2007 have quieted
the whispers that he struggled
because he was of the juice.
Im not sensitive to it, because
Im secure in what Ive done, he
said. But baseball players are put
on a diferent stage.
Lowell noted that San Diego
Chargers linebacker Shawne
Merriman was suspended after
testing positive for the steroid
nandrolone but was elected to
the Pro Bowl anyway. Patriots
safety Rodney Harrison report-
edly admitted receiving human
growth hormone and was sus-
pended four games, but hes still
popular in New England.
I dont know Shawne Merri-
man. I dont know Rodney Harri-
son. But nothing was made of it,
Lowell said, noting that Patriots
fans were more concerned about
how Harrisons absence would
afect the team.
Lowell acknowledged that
part of baseballs problem was
self-inficted: By fghting any kind
of testing for years, the sport
allowed itself to be tainted in
the public mind. But he stood
by the players association and
said union head Donald Fehr was
concerned about the privacy
and accuracy of the tests, not in
protecting users.

Junior sprinter and long
jumper Crystal Manning doesnt
believe in pain. This is how she
gets through her grueling races
and events for the KU track and
field team, she said.
Mannings strategy seems to be
working well, as she, along with
three other KU athletes, provision-
ally qualified for the indoor NCAA
Championships last weekend at the
Arkansas Invitational.
I think a lot of people stepped
up, Manning said. A lot of people
are surprising themselves when
they step out of their comfort
zone.
Senior distance runner, Paul
Hefferon, is excited about this
years team as well. We have a
really well-rounded team this year,
he said. Well get points from
every category.
The 11th ranked men and 27th
ranked women will need points
from every category Saturday as
they host four premier teams in the
Kansas Invitational. The Jayhawks
will face stiff competition, includ-
ing Missouri, UMKC, Tulsa and
Wichita State. The event will be
held at the Anschutz Pavilion and
is one of two indoor home meets
for the Jayhawks this season.
Coach Stanley Redwine said he
was excited about the teams strong
start, but added that there was
plenty of room for improvement at
this Saturdays meet.
We need to continue to com-
pete harder, he said. I think a
lot of them really competed well
[in Arkansas]. We made some
mistakes and we need to correct
them.
Those mistakes should be cor-
rected this Saturday as the Jayhawks
compete on their home turf.
Its going to be a great meet for
us. This is where we train every
day. Its a great opportunity for our
friends, families and track support-
ers to watch, Nickesha Anderson,
Hanover, Jamaica, junior said.
At the Arkansas Invitational,
Anderson set a new school record
in the womens 200-meter dash
with a time of 23.77 seconds.
Saturday she hopes to better her
time, she said.
Other athletes to watch include
senior Jordan Scott, junior Zlata
Tarasova and sophomore Kelsey
Erb, who all won their respective
events at the Arkansas invitational.
Its always really good to com-
pete at home, Redwine said.
Theres something special about
competing in your area and doing
well. We have very few meets in
which the fans can come and sup-
port us.
Track and field events begin
Saturday at 11 a.m. at the
Anschutz Pavillion and will last
most of the day.

The Kansas swimming team
cruises into Saturdays meet against
Nebraska on a
high note after
scoring a victory
against Illinois
State in Puerto
Rico.
The Jayhawks
59-33 victory
came in a short-
ened match in
the middle of
the teams winter
training trip to
San Juan.
It was the
third straight
victory for the Jayhawks, moving the
team to 4-2.
Victory aside, coach Clark
Campbell said a successful week of
training was the focus of the trip.
The meet was kind of the side-
show, Campbell said. We were able
to swim in a long course, Olympic-
size pool, which we dont have at
KU, and the trip was good for team
bonding.
Campbell said the long course
training would help the team in the
short course
c o n f e r e n c e
meets. Though
the training was
the focus of the
trip, Campbell
was pleased with
the teams vic-
tory.
Across the
board, I was
pleased with
e v e r y o n e ,
Campbell said.
With our whole
training camp period and the trip,
weve had a good month.
The Jayhawks took the top three
spots in both the 50-meter butter-
fly and in the 50-meter backstroke.
Junior Danielle Herrmann captured
first in the 50-meter breaststroke
and junior Maria Mayrovich won
the 50-meter freestyle. Freshman Joy
Buntings victory in the 200-meter
individual medley completed the
domination as the Jayhawks swept
every event in the
meet.
Now, the
team returns
to Lawrence to
begin conference
competition and
the second half
of the season.
Im very
happy with the
fall, Campbell
said. Were hop-
ing to improve
our times from the fall in the dual
meets, giving us confidence going
into the championship season.
The team is back in action on
Saturday, when they take on Nebraska
at 2 p.m. Campbell is ready to see the
team back in the pool and said he
wanted to see them perform well in
their first full meet in a month.
Nebraska is a team that is young,
fast, and well coached, Campbell
said. Were expecting a real barn-
burner on Saturday.
The Jayhawks have won two
straight meet-
ings with
Nebraska, after
being defeated
in Lincoln in
2005.
Before the
match there
will be a senior
day ceremony
honoring co-
captain Lauren
Bonfe and fellow
seniors Nikki
Maples, Jenny Roberts, Allie Rubino
and Terri Schramka.
Well get a chance to recognize
our five seniors before the meet for
all their hard work and the contri-
butions they made to the program,
Campbell said.

ASSOCIATED pRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. In his first
public comments since the Kansas
City Chiefs lost their last nine games
and finished 4-12, owner Clark Hunt
seemed to be putting his embattled
front office on notice.
The 2008 season is going to be a
very important year for our football
team, Hunt said Thursday in an
interview with the Associated Press.
I expect us to at least compete for a
playoff spot.
At the same time, Hunt conceded
that third-year coach Herm Edwards
faces a major retooling of a team that
finished near the bottom in many
offensive statistics while struggling
through a losing streak that set a
record for the franchise his father
founded more than 40 years ago.
Im realistic and patient to some
degree. But I also know that in the
NFL you can quickly turn things
around, he said. I think you can
look at a franchise like Green Bay
who three years ago was in the same
spot were in. They were 4-12.
Sitting in the large, tastefully
appointed office in Arrowhead
Stadium that his father had long
occupied, Hunt discussed his plans
while drinking sweet-smelling
imported coffee out of a plastic foam
cup.
Im not saying this football teams
got to win 10 or 11 games next year.
But I expect us to be competitive for
a playoff spot, he said. Certainly,
if were 4-12 again that would be a
failure, or anywhere close to 4-12. Its
not unrealistic for us to have a team
thats in the mix fighting for a playoff
spot late in the year next year.
The 43-year-old Hunt became the
youngest owner in the NFL when
Lamar Hunt died 14 months ago and
willed most of his vast estate to his
four children. Clark Hunt also has
been one of the least visible and least
involved owners, until now devoting
most of his time to the familys other
interests.

By HOWARD ULMAN
Associated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The
last time Junior Seau played in an
AFC championship game, his team
was given little chance to beat the
top seed.
In January 1995, the Steelers won
their first playoff game in a rout,
while the Chargers eked out a one-
point victory that set up the matchup
between those teams the following
weekend.
Sitting in my hotel room in
Pittsburgh and hearing all the cheers
and pep rallies that were going
around and all the Super Bowl vid-
eos that were being taped, every-
thing was against us, the Patriots
linebacker said. The yellow towels
were flying around. It was definitely
a time when we thought we were
against the world.
But San Diego won 17-13 in
Pittsburgh then went on to one of
the toughest losses in Seaus 18-year
career, a 49-26 rout by San Francisco
in the Super Bowl.
Thirteen years later, the Chargers
arent given much of a chance against
the perfect Patriots on Sunday, the
day after Seaus 39th birthday.
But he knows expectations can
fall short. Didnt the Patriots squan-
der a 21-3 lead in last years AFC
title game and lose to Indianapolis,
38-34?
So Seau and safety Rodney
Harrison, a rookie on that 1994
Chargers team, are working hard
to avoid an upset that can stop New
Englands unbeaten season one game
short of another Super Bowl appear-
ance.
I tell the young guys, Dont take
anything for granted because at any
point in time it can be over with,
whether its a season, whether its a
game, whether its your career, the
35-year-old Harrison said Thursday.
I think I have a greater appreciation
now that Im older.
Seau sees many comparisons
between this years San Diego team
and the one in 1994 the last two
Chargers clubs to reach the AFC
championship game.
The major comparison is that
theyre confident, he said. We look
forward to moving on, growing every
day to the day it comes we have to go
out and perform.
Seau and Harrison will play
against the Chargers as teammates
for the first time in their long
careers. Both missed last seasons
24-21 upset playoff win at San Diego
with injuries.
Sundays game, then, should have
some special emotions for them,
especially since Seau is a native of
San Diego.
Right?
I try not to get too Oprah with it
and know that its just another game
and know that Im so happy for the
city of San Diego, my hometown,
he said, but its going to be a chal-
lenge of the game of football, noth-
ing more.
Harrison, a fiery, hard-hitter like
Seau, also prefers to show his emo-
tions on the field.
Its just special to be in the AFC
Championship, Harrison said. I
dont know necessarily facing the
Chargers makes it any more spe-
cial.
The Patriots have spent the week
building up the Chargers as the best
team in the NFL since Thanksgiving.
They were 5-5 before the holiday but
8-0 since then.
New England coach Bill Belichick
likes to point out that his team has
won fewer games in that stretch. But
thats because they had a playoff bye
and are 7-0 after Thanksgiving
but 17-0 overall.
San Diego coach Norv Turner
isnt surprised that Belichick fawned
over the Chargers.
Everyone knows that New
England right now is playing the
best football in the league and its
going to be a real challenge for us,
Turner said.
Tom Bradys 50 touchdown passes
and Randy Moss 23 scoring catches
are NFL single-season record. So are
the 589 points the Patriots scored.
But the advanced age of their
defense may be catching up. They
allowed three scoring drives of at
least 80 yards in last Saturday nights
31-20 playoff win over Jacksonville
after giving up four touchdowns in a
38-35 win over the New York Giants
in the regular-season finale.
The Chargers defense is younger
with a knack for creating turnovers.
They led the NFL with 30 intercep-
tions and 48 takeaways then added
two interceptions and one fumble
recovery in last Sundays 28-24
playoff win at Indianapolis. All-Pro
cornerback Antonio Cromarties 10
interceptions led the league.
Its remarkable the things weve
done defensively, Turner said. It
seems like one guy tips (the ball) and
it goes up in the air and one of our
guys finds a way to get it.
The Patriots also have some pretty
solid defensive players.
On Sunday, for the first time
in 13 seasons, theyll play again as
teammates in an AFC championship
game.
sports 6B fridAy, JAnuAry 18, 2008
Jayhawks. Nine of the 11 Missouri
losses in the series since 2002 came
with Snyder as coach.
The poor record of the Tigers
and Snyder
combined with
the Jayhawks
c o n s i s t e n t
strong play
may have made
the rivalry less
healthy, but
they didnt kill
it. Regardless
of one teams
power, the thrill
of playing each
other will never die. Rush may
not care as much about rivalries,
but most of the other players do.
Freshman Tyrel Reed, whos from
Kansas, cant wait to play Missouri
for the first time.
Theres always been some
bad blood between Kansas and
Missouri, he said. Each year its
still a big game no matter what.
Even if one team is more domi-
nant, I think the rivalry is still
there.
And although Kansas has been
doing most of the winning lately,
its losses to Missouri have been
painful, especially the last one.
The Jayhawks lost to the Tigers
in Columbia 89-86 in overtime
in 2006. Former player Christian
Moody missed two free throws at
the end of regulation. One point
wouldve given Kansas the victory.
Heartbreaking losses like that
have provided fuel for the players
to be ready to go every time they
travel to Columbia. Senior guard
Russell Robinson still thinks about
the 2006 game.
That kind of stuff kind of
stays in the back of your head,
Robinson said. Were playing real-
ly well right now. We dont want
to take any steps back so we have
to go down there and take care of
business.
Kansas will likely find it harder
to do that this season. Forget the
3-11 record of
Missouri since
2002, this
years team is
good, albeit
inconsistent.
The Tigers
let the entire
c o n f e r e n c e
know theyd
be tough when
they manhan-
dled Texas at
home last Saturday, winning 97-84.
Or did they get the Big 12s atten-
tion? Missouri followed up that
victory with a setback loss at Iowa
State Wednesday night.
The loss didnt help the Tigers
gain any legitimacy, but Kansas
coach Bill Self knows Saturdays
game will be a test for his Jayhawks.
Coach Mike Andersons defense
always speeds teams up. Newcomer
DeMarre Carroll is having a good
season so far, and Self said forward
Leo Lyons is making the same
type of progress for Missouri that
Darnell Jackson is making for the
Jayhawks.
Plus, its a rivalry. Both teams
will be up for the game. Kansas
dominance and Missouris swoon
during the past few years may have
sucked some of the life out of the
rivalry, but its still alive, even if one
team hasnt been in the best shape
recently.
We wont be overconfident
going into Columbia, Self said.
Missouri got everyones attention
in the league the way that they
handled Texas in the second half
and dominated the game. Thatll
be a great atmosphere. It always
is and of course, thatll be a big
game.

tion in her game since arriving in
Lawrence, Smith said.
In high school I never really
had to play defense the way I do
now, she said. I never really had
to sit down and work and thats
been the biggest chance for me.
At 6-foot-5,
Boogaard began
showing flashes
of her offensive
potential against
the smaller post
players Kansas
faced before Big
12 Conference
games. Against
Nebraska, she
missed all seven
shots she took and was clearly
affected by the defense the Huskers
threw at her.
After benefiting from the
anonymity of being a freshman,
Boogaard said Big 12 teams were
putting together better game plans
against the Jayhawks than their
nonconference counterparts.
We know that the teams are
scouting us a lot harder because
they have more game film on us
and they know our strengths and
our weaknesses, she said.
Despite the winless start for the
Jayhawks, Smith said the unpre-
dictability of the Big 12 Conference
boded well for the remaining 13
games of Big 12 play. Tomorrows
matchup with
Missouri is key
in determin-
ing whether or
not Kansas can
climb back into
the middle of a
crowded pack.
The rest of
our games are
obviously going
to be tough
because its the Big 12 and teams
are good from top to bottom,
Smith said. We have already seen
big upsets by teams we didnt think
were going to beat anybody.
Conference play hasnt begun
the way the pair has hoped, but
both remain optimistic about their
chances to surprise teams that
overlook the young Jayhawks.
Edited by Madeline Hyden
This is an important game for
both teams not only because
of the rivalry ramifcations, but
because each is currently ex-
pected to fnish in the bottom
half of the conference. Missouri
needs a win to get them to .500
in the conference and provide
momentum for the remainder
of what promises to be a dif-
fcult fnal 12 games.
Can the Tigers fnd scoring
outside Hollins and Johnson?
Kansas will try to slow down
the two-headed monster that
Hollins and Johnson have be-
come by forcing Missouri to get
them the ball where they arent
comfortable. The Tigers must
fnd a third threat to force the
Jayhawks to give the duo room
to operate.

PLAYERS TO WATCH
Alyssa Hollins 5-11 junior guard
17 pts, 37 percent 3PT
Hollins is an explosive scorer that is an ofensive
and defensive force for the Tigers. Not only does she
lead Missouri in points and three-pointers, she also
averages more than two steals per contest. In order
for the Tigers to be successful, Hollins must establish
some sort of ofensive rhythm. She dropped 25
points to lead Missouri to their lone Big 12 Conference win against
Texas Tech.
Jessra Johnson 6-1 sophomore forward
15.1 pts, 8.3 rpg
Johnson is the thunder to Hollins lightning. The
talented sophomore provides defensive muscle and
the ability to score in the paint while Hollins lights it
up from behind the arc. Her statistics are even more
impressive considering she only plays 24 minutes
per game. Although not a signifcant shot-blocking
threat, Johnson plays solid positional defense and is extremely efec-
tive on the glass. Johnsons one noteworthy weakness is her tendency
to turn the ball over.
Toy Richbow 5-6 sophomore guard
3.3 pts, 4.3 apg
Though not a threat to score in double digits,
Richbow may be the Tigers most well-rounded
player. She has started 14 of 16 games at the point
guard position and averages almost four rebounds
per game in addition to her assist totals. Along with
Hollins, she rarely leaves the court and her 1.5 assist-
to-turnover ratio is above average. If Richbow can be efcient with the
ball, Hollins and Johnson will get plenty of chances to cause damage.
Its too early to call it a win or
go home game, but thats exactly
how coach Bonnie Henrickson
should be treating Saturdays tilt
with rival Missouri. Mizzou at Allen
Fieldhouse is as easy as its going
to get for Kansas. With a loss, the
Jayhawks would drop to 0-4 in con-
ference play with a trip to Boulder,
Colorado scheduled for Tuesday.
No one comes back from 0-4 in
arguably the toughest conference
in the nation, but 1-3 opens a few
more doors.
Will Danielle McCray stay out
of foul trouble?
When McCray is on the bench,
opposing teams attack Baylor
used a 16-4 run to put the game
out of reach while McCray watched
helplessly from a chair. Even when
she isnt shooting well McCrays
presence on the court sparks the
Jayhawks and theres a noticeable
lack of fre without her. McCray has
proven that shes a much better
basketball player than a cheer-
leader and Kansas is a completely
diferent team with her on the
court completely diferent and
defnitely better.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Danielle McCray, 5-11 sophomore guard
15.2 ppg, 6.8 rpg
Its tough to tell whether McCray has been more
afected by the stress reaction that sidelined her
for three games in mid-December or the change in
competition strength. Either way, the usually silky
sophomore hasnt been the same in Big 12 play
and the team has sufered with her, dropping three
in a row by an average of 16 points. McCrays solid play is contagious
throughout the team, and without her, they struggle to fnd a rhythm.
Sade Morris, 5-11 sophomore guard
12.0 ppg, 83 percent from free-throw line
Like McCray, Morris has had to battle back from
an injury and her inconsistent play could be attrib-
uted to her ankle. Morris led Kansas with 17 points
in its fve-point loss to Oklahoma State and hit the
key free throws in a 62-60 win over Xavier. However,
she completely disappeared in Wednesday nights loss at Baylor, hit-
ting just 2-for-7 shots for four points. Morris needs to be able to step
up when McCray is in foul trouble and if she cant, Kansas has almost
no chance of winning.
Taylor McIntosh, 5-11 senior forward
8.3 ppg, 7.8 rpg
McIntosh leads the team and ranks eighth in the
conference with 7.8 rpg, but her ofense is almost
nonexistent some nights. Against Baylor, McIntosh
scored eight points but missed six shots, all in the
paint. Coach Bonnie Henrickson loves to run her of-
fense through the post and the lack of a solid inside
presence has resulted in more ill-advised outside shots. McIntosh has
some high expectations that she needs to start living up to.

We know that the teams are

they have more flm on us.
KRYSTEN BOOgARD
Freshman center
The ProjecTed STarTing Five
Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard
After hitting his stride ofensively in December,
Robinsons assist and point numbers have de-
creased and his turnovers have increased slightly.
But as Self often says, Robinson cant be measured
by stats, especially ofensive ones. If the team wins,
Robinson did his job.
Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard
The minor groin injury that kept Chalmers out
against Loyola College hasnt afected his game in
the two following games. Chalmers has continued
to be one of the best defenders in the country this
season.
Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard
His value is infated right now because he is
shooting the ball well. Selfs comments about Rushs
poor ofensive aggressiveness after the Loyola Col-
lege game didnt make him aggressive over night. It
only seems that way because he has made nine of
his last 14 three-pointer attempts.
Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward
Jackson deserves major credit for the victory
against Oklahoma. He scored 17 points and grabbed
eight rebounds against a tough front line. Hes
played well against top post players all season.
Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward
After blowing up against Boston College, Arthur
has played consistently, averaging about 14 points
and seven rebounds. He could still be doing more.
The SixTh man
Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard
Kansas fans should hope Collins foot injury is still
bothering Collins because he hasnt played par-
ticularly well in the frst two conference games. He
doesnt have the same burst of speed he played with
last season.
Its rivalry time. KU fans will cer-
tainly be excited for this game, giv-
en that Missouri received the best
of the Jayhawks in football. This
game should also be an interesting
matchup, regardless of the rivalry.
The Tigers have been inconsistent
all season. They defeated Texas last
week, then got shoved around by
Iowa State on Wednesday. Which
team is going to show up? Odds
are it will be the one that played
against Texas because the Tigers
want this one.
Sherron Collins, sophomore
guard
Collins scored just fve points in
22 minutes against Nebraska and
turned the ball over three times.
He did slightly
better against
the Sooners on
Monday, scoring
nine and getting
three assists, but
he hasnt been
able to take over
games like he
did before his
injury this year.
Last season against Missouri in
Allen Fieldhouse, Collins had his
coming out party. He scored most
of Kansas points down the stretch
and did a good job defending fel-
low Chicagoan and Missouris best
player Stefhon Hannah. Well see
if he can return to challenge the
Tigers this season.
Will Kansas dominate its rival?
The Jayhawks have been playing
at a signifcantly higher level than
most of their competition all sea-
son. Missouri may get up for this
game like its the Final Four, but it
might not matter. Kansas is just too
good this year and will continue to
roll through Big 12 opponents.
I think it probably is close. I think
were pretty good and I know Mem-
phis is good. They played good and
had their full complement of play-
ers, and tonight we were just better
than Memphis maybe played that
night against them. I appreciate
Jef saying that, but I wouldnt read
much into that.
Kansas coach Bill Selfs reaction to OU coach
JefCapels declaration that Kansas is better than
Memphis.
Usually good players. Tough.
They have a good team, and I really
enjoy going to Columbia. Were not
going to vacation there this sum-
mer, but I really enjoy the atmo-
sphere.
Self on playing at Missouri.
The ProjecTed STarTing Five
Stefhon Hannah, 6-foot-1 senior guard
Hannahs points per game average is down to
14.1 from 15.4 points per game, but his assists are
up from 4.6 to 5.4. Hannah, a Chicago native, has to
control the tempo and endure Russell Robinsons
ball pressure in order for Missouri to have a chance.
Jason Horton, 6-foot-2 senior guard
Horton went to Columbia, Mo., four years ago
with big expectations, but in his senior season, hes
playing less, only 20.3 minutes per game, and scor-
ing less, 3.6 points per game, than he ever has.
Matt Lawrence, 6-foot-7 junior guard
Lawrence is not quite shooting this year like he
did last season. Hes shooting 36.3 percent from the
three-point range, compared to 44.3 percent a year
ago. He could be a defensive liability if hes matched
up with Brandon Rush.
DeMarre Carroll, 6-foot-8 junior forward
A high school teammate of former Alabama
standout Ronald Steele, Carroll has quickly become
Missouris go-to-player in his frst season at Mis-
souri. I think Carroll makes them better, Self said.
Carroll, a Birmingham, Ala., native, who can play
both inside and outside, has made Missouri more
dangerous.
Leo Lyons, 6-foot-9 junior forward
Bill Self had high praise for Lyons, a Kansas City,
Kan., native. Leo Lyons is one of the most improved
players in this conference, Self said, comparing
Lyons improvement to Kansas forward Darnell Jacksons.
The SixTh man
Keon Lawrence, 6-foot-2 sophomore guard
Inconsistent at times, the pogo-stick-skinny
Lawrence has been in and out of the starting lineup. Lawrence
scored in double-fgures eight of the Tigers frst nine games, but has
struggled since.

Kansas allows Missouris crowd to get into it. The attendance
at Tiger games has been pitiful this year, but Mizzou Arena will
be loud and full on Saturday. The Jayhawks cant let Matt Law-
rence and Stefhon Hannah catch fre from the outside because
the crowd will go insane. If Missouri gets hot and starts to go on
a run, Kansas needs to respond immediately. The biggest dan-
ger for the Jayhawks in a game at Missouri is letting the Tigers
get an early lead that will allow the crowd to get excited and
keep its team in the game.

The Jayhawks match the Tigers intensity level.
Sometimes against Missouri, the Jayhawks ap-
pear to struggle because the Tigers live for this
game. Theyre ready for it every season. Kansas
is clearly the much better team but needs to be
up for the game from the beginning if it wants
to win comfortably. Of course, that shouldnt be
a problem. The Jayhawks havent overlooked an
opponent all season, and Bill Self has done a great
job against Missouri in his career at Kansas and
Illinois.

Will the real Missouri team
please stand up? This Missouri
season has had more twists
than an episode of Lost. The
Tigers have teased their fans at
times, beating Purdue, 73-63,
and No. 13 Texas, 97-84. But at
times, the Tigers have reverted
to form. They looked listless in
their 72-67 loss to Iowa State
on Wednesday. Junior forward
DeMarre Carroll, a transfer from
Vanderbilt and coach Mike
Andersons nephew, is leading
Missouri with 14.9 points per
game. Senior guard Stefhon
Hannah is pitching in 14.1
points and 5.4 assists per game.
The Tigers wont be sunk with a
loss against Kansas, their next
three games are against Big 12
teams Texas Tech, Colorado and
Nebraska, but a victory would
give them a push to claim a
spot in the conferences top six
by seasons end.
Keon Lawrence, sopho-
more guard
Junior
forward
DeMarre
Carroll and
senior guard
Stefhon
Hannah grab
most of the
headlines,
but keep a
close watch
on Lawrence. Lawrence, a
sophomore guard from Newark,
N.J., has averaged 11.6 points
per game in Missouris last three
wins, and only 4.0 points per
game in Missouris last three
losses, including two points on
one of 10 shooting against Iowa
State on Wednesday. If Kansas
guards can contain Lawrence,
the scoring load will be placed
frmly on Carroll and Hannah,
and Missouri could struggle to
keep pace with Kansas.
Can any Missouri coach
beat Bill Self? Bill Self is 10-2
against Missouri since the
2000-01 season including a 3-0
record while coaching at Illinois.
Self was 8-2 against former
Missouri coach Quin Snyder
and he now sports a spotless
3-0 record against current Tiger
coach Mike Anderson. Selfs
Kansas squad beat Andersons
UAB team in the 2004 NCAA
tournament. Whether it be
David Padgett hitting a game-
winning fadeaway in Columbia,
Mo., in 2003-04, or Julian Wright
erupting for 33 points at Mis-
souri last season, Bill Self fnds
a way to get it done against the
Jayhawks main nemesis. Can
Anderson respond?
Against Texas we saw what
happens when everybody plays
well at the same time.
