Saturday morning, Andrew
Stanley and fellow students took
145 pounds of glass to be recycled
at the 12th and Haskell Bargain
Center. All 145 pounds came from
Wildes Chateau 24, 2412 Iowa, and
were the result of one Friday night
of business.
That would all have been
thrown away without us, Stanley
said. And thats just one night.
Stanley, Overland Park senior,
is president of Students for Bar
Recycling. He said he began form-
ing the group in December, but
this was the groups first active
semester. During start-up efforts,
Stanley said he estimated group
members called 30 bars around
Lawrence and asked them if they
recycled glass.
None of them did.
They just said no and didnt
want to say much after that,
Stanley said. They said that it was
just a pain, basically.
Kate Wasserman, Flower Mound,
Texas, senior and vice president of
SBR, said glass recycling was the
groups main focus. Wasserman
said the group was trying to be a
source of information for bars.
We dont have the resources in
group membership and money to
help bars have the resources to do
that, Wasserman said. So were
mainly just trying to get bars con-
nected with recycling companies.
The group has touched base with
bars around Lawrence, but Stanley
said it had yet to sign its first offi-
cial client.
Chris Scafe, owner of Sunflower
Curbside Recycling, said if bars
agreed to it, he and his crew would
regularly pick up glass and take it
to the 12th and Haskell Bargain
Center, 1146 Haskell. Scafe said
the charge for glass pickup would
depend on how much needed to be
carried away, but he would charge
about $6 to $7 per pick up.
Stanley said it wasnt likely the
glass pickup service would happen
every night, but he said most bars
in Lawrence would use the service
no more than four days each week.
At that rate, Stanley said it would
probably cost a bar about $1,200
each year for the recycling service.
Scafe said many bars didnt want
to deal with the logistics of stor-
ing glass, working out pickups and
training staff to make sure every-
thing was placed in the correct
containers.
Theres not much of a financial
incentive for bars to recycle, Scafe
said. But having said that, I think
that if they advertised that they

film creates sundance buzz
BY JENNIFER TORLINE
jtorline@kansan.com
Kevin Willmott describes The
Only Good Indian, his film that
made it to the Sundance Film
Festival, a mini-epic because it
was a big film made on a small
budget.
Willmott, associate professor
of theatre and film, and a group of
students and professors returned
last week from Sundance, one of
the worlds largest independent
film festivals. At the festival, they
promoted the mini-epic and
networked with distributors.
All of our screenings were
sold out before we got there,
Willmott said. I think we were
one of the buzz movies of the
festival.
More than 9,000 films were
entered in the festival. The Only
Good Indian was chosen as one
of 118 films screened at the fes-
tival, which took place from Jan.
15 to 25. The crew is now trying
to distribute and sell the film.
We got some nibbles at
Sundance, said Matt Jacobson,
the films director of photography
and associate professor of theatre
and film. There has been some
initial work toward international
and national sales, and well have
to see how everything works out
in the next couple of weeks.
Robert Hurst, assistant pro-
fessor of theatre and film, was
the supervising sound editor for
the film. Hurst, Willmott and
Jacobson used The Only Good
Indian as a way
to teach their stu-
dents. More than
30 of their former
and current stu-
dents helped in
the production
and editing of the
film at Oldfather
Studios, 1621 W.
Ninth St.
The only way
to really become a filmmaker is
you have to go and make films,
Willmott said. Its a nice experi-
ence for them to see a real movie
being made.
To support the film and their
professors, 12 students piled into
a van and drove 20 hours to Park
City, Utah for Sundance. They
met up with other students and
spent a week helping the crew of
The Only Good Indian.
Jessi ca Ri chardson,
Independence, Mo., junior, orga-
nized the students trip.
We decided that if they were
going, we were going to take
a group of stu-
dents because
its nice to have
a school show-
ing that teachers
can be academic
and still be in
the film world,
Richardson said.
The students
also watched other
independent films
and spotted celebrities such as
Robin Williams, Jim Carrey and
Ewan McGregor.
It was pretty amazing to be
able to go there with a film as a
student, Jon Tenholder, Topeka
senior, said. It was a really valu-
able experience, and it helped my
knowledge with the industry.
But before reaching the
Sundance Festival, the crew of
The Only Good Indian spent
more than a year on the film
from start to finish.
It all began when Thomas
Carmody, a Lawrence resident
and KU graduate, wrote the script
and asked Willmott in 2007 to
direct the film.
The Only Good Indian is
based on the history of Haskell
Indian Nations University. It fol-
lows a Native American teen-
ager who is taken from his home
and placed in a boarding school
during the early 1900s. Willmott
said the people who ran such
boarding schools forced Native
Americans to assimilate into
white culture.
These were people who
thought they were doing the
right thing, Willmott said.
Unfortunately they did not
understand that trying to turn
someone into someone else is
always a bad thing.
More than 100 students, pro-

2007 was passed it would allow
the Board of Regents to consider
KUs plan called Jayhawk Genera-
tions Tuition Plan.
Under this plan, out-of-state
students with family ties to KU
would be eligible for reduced
tuition.
Martin said the cost of tuition
for these students would be more
expensive than in-state tuition,
but still signifcantly lower than
out-of-state costs.
Martin said he hoped the
legislature would pass the bill
before April or May, but said he
could not comment on when the
University would bring its plan
before the Regents.
We want to encourage stu-
dents who have existing relation-
ships to KU through their parents
or grandparents to come to KU
and then stay in Kansas after they
graduate, Martin said.
If passed, the bill would amend
a current statute that only allows
the Regents to consider a limited
range of recruitment techniques.
KU ofcials who spoke in favor
of the bill said it would allow KU
to extend its recruitment to out-
of- state students.
KU ofcials testifying included
Provost Richard Lariviere; Danny
Anderson, vice provost for aca-
demic afairs; Marlesa Roney, vice
provost for student success; and
Kevin Corbett, president and CEO
of the KU Alumni Association. The

Russia and its ex-Soviet allies
wanted to cooperate with the
United States on stabilizing
Afghanistan.
Saying Moscow and its allies
are ready for full-fedged, com-
prehensive cooperation, the Rus-
sian leader seemed to imply that
Moscows help in Afghanistan
was contingent on a broader list
of changes it wants from the new
U.S. administration.
These include a halt to NATO
enlargement in Europe and the
cancellation of plans for a U.S.

Seniors, mark your calendars
and grab your checkbooks in
less than two weeks, Grad Finale
will be here.
For six months, KU Bookstores
and Jostens, a company that sells
graduation regalia, have planned
what KU Bookstores marketing
coordinator Kelly Stazyk called
a one-stop graduation shop for
graduating students. Grad Finale
will take place from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. on Feb. 17, 18 and 19 at the
Ballroom on the fifth level of the
Kansas Union.
Graduation can be overwhelm-
ing because you cant show up at
the ceremony without previous
planning, Stazyk said. The KU
Bookstores can help students walk
through the process at Grad Finale
or anytime.
Courtney Brax, Hutchinson
senior, said she was a little over-
whelmed about her May gradua-
tion. Brax said she would attend
Grad Finale to help pass out
senior class T-shirts and to pick
up her cap, gown and graduation
announcements.
I just want to be a little more
prepared for graduation and get
everything ready ahead of time,
Brax said.
Todd Wiedenmeyer, territory
sales manager for Jostens, said he
hoped to see 70 percent of graduat-
ing seniors attend the Grad Finale.
He said University offices such as
the University Career Center, the
Office of the University Registrar
and the Office of Student Financial
Aid would attend the graduation
fair, as well as retailers includ-
ing Balfour Rings and Classic
Photography, Inc.
Jennifer Alderdice, assistant
vice president of student programs
for the Alumni Association, said
she would attend Grad Finale on
behalf of the Alumni Association.
Alderdice said the events setup
was beneficial for students.
I think that the grad fair is so
important for students to attend
because there are so many resourc-
es available to them in a one-stop
shop atmosphere, Alderdice said.
Students really can benefit from
having everything they might need
for graduation in one room. Plus,
its a lot of fun and an exciting time
to plan for their big walk down
the hill.
Stazyk said even if students
couldnt attend Grad Finale,
they could still log on to the KU
Bookstores Web site, kubookstore.
com, for information and links to
some of the vendors.

Tents for illegal immigrants
AssoCIAtED PREss
PHOENIX Te self-pro-
claimed toughest sherif in Amer-
ica has announced plans to keep
illegal immigrants separate from
the rest of the inmate population at
tents in Phoenix that house prison-
ers.
Maricopa County Sherif Joe
Arpaio accompanied about 200
inmates along with members of
the media from an area jail to
Tent City on Wednesday.
Tis is a population of criminals
more adept perhaps at escape, Ar-
paio said in a news release. But this
is a fence they wont want to scale
because they risk receiving quite a
shock, literally, he said, referring to
the electric fence .
Arpaio said housing the illegal
immigrants separately would save
money, although he did not explain
how other than to say its cheaper to
house inmates in tents than at tra-
ditional jails.
He said his ofce has received
$1.6 million funding from the state
that will go toward tackling illegal
immigration.
I expect more arrests, Arpaio
said. I expect to put more tents
up.
Arpaio said the move would be
more convenient for consulate of-
fcials visiting foreign inmates and
for Immigration and Customs En-
forcement agents charged with de-
porting the inmates afer they have
served sentences in county jails.
Aside from their residency sta-
tus, he said the inmates would
be treated just like everyone else
housed in the tents.
Arpaios announcement has ap-
palled some ofcials in the area.
Maricopa County Supervisor
Mary Rose Wilcox said she thinks
Arpaio could potentially be violating
the immigrants rights by keeping
them separated, and that shed like
to talk to the Justice Department.
Any time you treat people dif-
ferently for no reason, you stand to
violate rights, she said. We treat
people equally in America. I think
its wrong.
She said the move is a public-
ity stunt and that Arpaio has done
nothing to show the supervisors
how it would save money.
Alessandra Soler Meetze, execu-
tive director of the American Civil
Liberties Union of Arizona, said
although Wednesdays move wasnt
unconstitutional, it was degrading
and unnecessary to shepherd pris-
oners in front of media.
Youre sort of giving the message
that its OK to treat these inmates
diferently. Its OK to treat them like
circus animals, Soler Meetze said.
He didnt have to make a spectacle.
He couldve moved them on buses.
Te Tent City is part of a tough
atmosphere that made Arpaio
nationally famous. His jails also
feature chain gangs and pink un-
derwear for male inmates. Arpaio
was recently featured in a Fox Re-
ality Channel show called Smile ...
Youre Under Arrest!
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A fewof the nearly 200 convicted illegal immigrants handcufed together Wednesday
in Phoenix, are moved into a separate area of Tent City, by orders fromMaricopa County Sherif
Joe Arpaio, for incarceration until their sentences are served and they are deported to their home
countries.

CAIRO Saudi Arabia
said Wednesday that 11 men
released from the U.S. prison at
Guantnamo Bay are now on
the kingdoms most-wanted list
despite having attended its touted
extremist rehabilitation program.
President Barack Obama has
signed an executive order closing
the detention center at the naval
base in Cuba,
leaving countries
scrambling over
what to do with
released detain-
ees.
Saudi Arabia
and terror experts
defended the pro-
gram for terror
suspects, saying it
is largely effective.
The Pentagon has said its unlikely
to change its policy on prisoner
transfers to the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of
al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden
and home to 15 of the 19 Sept. 11
hijackers, has pursued an aggres-
sive campaign against militants
but also sought to rehabilitate
those it believes can abandon
their violent extremist beliefs and
reintegrate into society.
These rehab programs and
the kingdoms assurances that
they are effective have been
a major reason why most of the
Saudis have been released from
Guantnamo. Only 13 of the 133
Saudis detained there remain, said
Saudi Interior Ministry spokes-
man, Gen. Mansour al-Turki.
Besides the 11 people (on
the wanted list) who came from
Guantnamo, there are still 106
people who have gone through
this rehabilitation program and
are doing OK, al-Turki told the
Associated Press by phone. Three
others committed suicide in
Guantnamo.
The 11 were on a list of 83
Saudis and two Yemenis wanted
for their connections to al-Qaida
issued Monday by the Saudi gov-
ernment. The government knows
where the rest of the 106 former
detainees are.
Among the 11 were two Saudis
who have emerged as the new
leaders of Yemens branch of al-
Qaida. The two appeared in a
militant video last month calling
for attacks against
Arab governments
and Western inter-
ests.
Imprisonment
only increased
our persistence in
our principles for
which we went
out, did jihad for,
and were impris-
oned for, Said Ali
al-Shihri said during the video.
Al-Shihri was jailed for six years
in Guantnamo after his capture
in Pakistan, and said he resur-
faced as the branchs leader after
completing the Saudi rehab pro-
gram.
The Saudi
rehab program
placed former
Gu a n t n a mo
detainees in secure
compounds with
facilities such as
gyms and swim-
ming pools.
Imams gave them
lessons on mod-
erate Islam, and
they met with psychologists and
sociologists.
Georgetown University terror
expert Bruce Hoffman stressed
that the vast majority of those
going through the program have
not rejoined extremist groups.
I think it would be a mistake
to view the program as a failure.
Instead of looking at the 11, con-
centrate on the (others) who have
not gone back to terror. ... I think
the success has been remarkable,
he said.
The Pentagon also has said it
is unlikely to stop prisoner trans-
fers to Saudi Arabia. After the
video of al-Shihri was released on
extremist Web sites in January,
Pentagon spokesman Navy Cmdr.
Jeffrey Gordon said the U.S. sees
the Saudi rehab program as admi-
rable.
The best you can do is work
with partner nations in the inter-
national community to ensure
that they take the steps to miti-
gate the threat ex-detainees pose,
Gordon said.
But Obamas Jan. 21 decision to
close Guantnamo within a year
has unleashed a debate in the U.S.
about what to do with the remain-
ing 245 inmates, some of whom
are considered very dangerous.
On Wednesday, the European
Parliament said EU countries
should help the administration
accept Guantnamo inmates.
Obamas announcement came
about a week after the Pentagon
issued a report saying that increas-
ing numbers of
those released have
rejoined militant
organizations and
carried out attacks.
Figures from
December indicated
that 61 of the for-
mer detainees have
rejoined militant
movements, up
from 37 in March, it
said, without detailing the nation-
alities of the 61.
Former Vice President Dick
Cheney has cautioned against
closing Guantnamo, claiming
the remaining inmates are hard-
core.
If you turn em loose and they
go kill more Americans, whos
responsible for that? he told
Politico in an interview.

Questions about human rights
and President Obamas decision to
shut down the controversial deten-
tion center Guantnamo Bay will be
addressed at Fridays Human Rights
Symposium in Green Hall.
The conference, sponsored by
three School of Law groups, will
host six distinguished professionals
speaking about issues surrounding
Guantnamo Bay, procedures for
prosecuting and defending alleged
criminal terrorists and the future
treatment of prisoners of war.
Dana Watts, Syracuse second-
year law student and president of
the International Law Society, said
the questions surrounding the clos-
ing of Guantnamo were a main
theme of the symposium.
This is a very current event, and
there are still lingering questions on
where these detainees will go, will
anyone be prosecuted, and how will
they be prosecuted, Watts said.
Though a few court cases involv-
ing Guantnamo detainees have
already begun, Watts said there was
speculation about how these types of
international cases would be judged
in the future.
As future law-
yers, we are still
learning about
this, she said.
These cases are
totally new to
everybody.
One of the speak-
ers will be Brent
Mickum, lawyer
to Guantnamo
detainee and suspected terrorist
Abu Zubaida. The U.S. govern-
ment alleged that Zubaida was a
top al-Qaida lieutenant and he was
the first suspected terrorist to be
detained after Sept. 11. Zubaida
said he was waterboarded during
his detention, a method the United
Nations Council on Human Rights
considered torture.
Mickum said that people
shouldve been more aware of what
was going on behind the barbed
wire and that they didnt question
the Bush administrations actions
because of an innate
desire to trust the
government.
Mickum said
he would correct
the myths about
Guantnamo Bay at
the symposium, and
emphasized that the
majority of the peo-
ple detained werent
international terror-
ists.
These people are not the worst
of the worst, he said. Some were
just in the wrong place at the wrong
time.
Prisoner treatment was the main
concern for Samantha Snyder,
Topeka senior and president of KU
Amnesty International. She said she
hoped the symposium would make
students and teachers think about
what really went on.
Because of the light shed on
the nature of the war on terror,
questions need to be raised about
the situations at Guantnamo Bay,
Snyder said.
On Jan. 23, the United Nations
Council on Human Rights issued a
press release denouncing the treat-
ment of detainees at Guantnamo
Bay and commending President
Obamas order to close the facility.
In the release, Leandro Despouy,
special rapporteur on the indepen-
dence of judges and lawyers, called
the Bush administrations treatment
of detainees a violation of interna-
tional human rights norms.
Other speakers at the symposium
will address different aspects of how
the legal system is shifting in order
to accommodate these new types of
crimes. Topics will include refugee
asylum, international human rights
and the laws of war.

President extends
health care to kids
ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Barack Obama speaks before signing the State Childrens Health Insurance
Program, or SCHIP, legislation in the East Roomof the White House onWednesday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Wednesday
signed a bill extending health
coverage to 4 million uninsured
children, a move he called a first
step toward fulfilling a campaign
pledge to provide insurance for
all Americans.
As I think everybody here
will agree, this is only the first
step, Obama said of the bill that
reauthorizes the State Childrens
Health Insurance Program.
Because the way I see it, pro-
viding coverage to 11 million
children through CHIP is a down
payment on my commitment to
cover every single American, he
said to applause before turning to
the economic recovery bill.
It wont be easy; it wont hap-
pen all at once, Obama said. But
this bill that Im about to sign,
that wasnt easy either.
Obama and his advisers see
the economic crisis as his win-
dow to push through many of
his campaign pledges. Renewable
energy, financial regulation and
even rural Internet access all
have been tied to repairing the
nations fractured economy. In
the process, Obama has exposed
his plan to criticism and ques-
tions that threaten to jettison the
first major legislation his team
has assembled.
I refuse to accept that mil-
lions of our children fail to reach
their full potential because we
fail to meet their basic needs. In
a decent society, there are certain
obligations that are not subject
to trade-offs or negotiations, and
health care for our children is
one of those obligations, Obama
said.
Obama has faced a difficult
week, his second full one in
office. Daschle, the former Senate
Democratic leader, withdrew
his nomination as secretary of
health and human services after
acknowledging he failed to pay
taxes on a car and driver provided
by a Democratic fundraiser. His
departure also left in the presi-
dents team a large gap for some-
one to usher through sweeping
reform Obama has promised.
The childrens health bill calls
for spending an additional $32.8
billion on SCHIP, which now
enrolls an estimated 7 million
children. Lawmakers generated
that revenue by raising the fed-
eral tobacco tax.
Health officials project that
there are about 8 million to 9
million uninsured children in the
United States.
The bill went to the White
House fresh from passage in the
Democratic-controlled House,
on a vote of 290-135. Forty
Republicans joined in approval.
Most Republicans, though,
criticized the cost of the legisla-
tion. They also said it will mean
an estimated 2.4 million children
who otherwise would have access
to private insurance will join the
State Childrens Health Insurance
Program instead.
The Democrats continue
to push their government-run
health care agenda universal
coverage, as they call it, said Rep.
Pete Sessions (R-Texas).
The bills passage has long been
a top priority of Democratic law-
makers. In late 2007, President
George W. Bush twice vetoed
similar bills. The Senate passed
the same bill last week. Obama
made it a top priority in his first
100 days and one step in his push
for universal coverage by the end
of his first term.
President Obama and
Congress are demonstrating that
change has come to Washington,
and we are moving forward to
improve the quality of life for
American families struggling
during these hard times, said
Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.),
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee.
SCHIP was created more than
a decade ago to help children in
families with incomes too high to
qualify for Medicaid but too low
to afford private coverage.
Federal money for the program
was set to expire March 31. To
cover the increase in spending,
the bill would boost the federal
excise tax on a pack of cigarettes
by 62 cents, to $1.01 a pack.
Opponents of the bill com-
plained that the tobacco tax
increase hits the poor the hard-
est, because they are more likely
to smoke than wealthier peo-
ple. Many also took exception
to expanding the program and
Medicaid to children of newly
arrived legal immigrants.
Republicans said they sup-
ported SCHIP and providing
additional money for the pro-
gram. However, they argued that
Democrats were taking the pro-
gram beyond its original intent
and encouraging states to cover
middle-class families who could
get private insurance.
Bill will raise taxes on cigarettes by 62 cents
NATIONAL
Virginia Tech president
defends Asian students
BLACKSBURG, Va. An
internationally diverse student
body is vital to Virginia Tech, the
schools president said Wednesday
in response to e-mails and blogs
disparaging Asians that surfaced
after a Chinese student was ac-
cused of decapitating a classmate.
The killing last month was
the frst since Seung-Hui Cho, a
Korean student, killed 32 people
in a mass shooting in 2007.
Some of the comments from
parents, alumni and members of
the public questioned whether
the university should allow inter-
national students to attend the
school. Others supported the uni-
versitys international community.
President Charles Steger said in
an open letter that the school was
enriched by its diversity and that
overall there were few reports of
international students getting
into trouble.
Virginia Tech is an open and
accepting community includ-
ing many races, ethnicities, and
cultures from around the world,
Steger wrote in the letter.
Steger said there was no
evidence that the decapitation of
Xin Yang, 22, in a campus cofee
shop Jan. 21 had anything to do
with her ethnicity, Steger said.
Both Yang and suspect Haiyang
Zhu, who is charged with frst-
degree murder, are from China.
The school has more than 2,100
students from 72 foreign coun-
tries among its full-time enroll-
ment of 30,000.

fessors and working professionals
helped in the filming process.
Its such a collaborative experi-
ence, Hurst said. Its really inter-
esting because everyone has an
opinion and the more ideas you
have, the better the film gets.
Jacobson said the crew shot the
film in many different areas of
Kansas from town scenes in Old
Cowtown Museum in Wichita to
the Watkins Community Museum
of History on Massachusetts Street
to a ranch outside of Cottonwood
Falls. Jacobson said some chal-
lenges during the filming included
extreme heat and late summer
rains.
Muriel Green, Pittsburg senior,
was a second unit camera operator
for the movie. She said the profes-
sors made it a priority to let stu-
dents help with the movie because
they could learn more on a set than
in the classroom.
It might have been more effi-
cient for them to hire professionals,
but they wanted students to have
the opportunity to work on the set,
Green said.
Willmott and Jacobson had
previously worked together on
C.S.A.: The Confederate States of
America, which made it to the
2004 Sundance Festival.
Willmott said he was proud
of the crews work on The Only
Good Indian not only because of
the films success, but because the
crew made what he called a bold
move in producing the film.
You have to believe in who
you are and what youre doing,
Willmott said. There are no
guarantees, but not doing it is
always worse than doing it and
failing.
To promote the movie locally,
Willmott said he was planning
a hometown screening with the
University and Haskell sometime
during the coming months so that
students could see the movie.

programs and 50 semester-and
year-long programs were avail-
able for students. A short-term
program takes place during a
summer, winter or spring break.
The study abroad program
has really dedicated itself to find-
ing kinds of opportunities that
will work for students in a variety
of programs, not only in content
and location, but also in dura-
tion, Sue Lorenz, interim direc-
tor for the Office
of Study Abroad,
said.
Lorenz said
short-term study
abroad programs
were a University
strength because
they gave students
more flexibility.
The shorter-
term programs
enable a lot of students to be able
to study abroad in a way that fits
their academic schedules, curric-
ulum and their budget, Lorenz
said.
Lorenz said students often
participated in shorter study
abroad programs early in their
University careers and would
later study abroad again through
longer programs.
Such is the case for Stephanie
Shiflett, Overland Park junior,
who participated in The London
Review with Mary Klayder, hon-
ors lecturer, during spring break
of 2007.
Shiflett said she enjoyed her
experience so much that she
spent the following spring semes-
ter studying in
Angers, France.
Traveling in
and of itself makes
you feel so alive,
Shiflett said.
Theres so much
to look at and
think about.
Lorenz said the
number of students
participating each
year continued to grow, which
she attributed to an overall aim
from departments and schools to
provide international experience
for students.
With the economy faltering and
students struggling financially,
Lorenz said the Office of Study
Abroad continued to try and offer
study abroad options without rais-
ing costs. Chaison said although
the economy was tight in the
United States, the value of the dol-
lar was stronger in some coun-
tries. Students would be able to
find some study abroad programs
cheaper than last year.
To help students financially,
the Office of Study Abroad offers
scholarships. Students can also
use financial aid, such as student
loans, toward studying abroad.
Chaison said many departments
within the University also offered
scholarships for study abroad and
that the Office of Study Abroad
had financial aid advisors for stu-
dents.
Students are able to accom-
plish their goals and save the
money they need to save or find
the aid they need to find when
theyve done some careful plan-
ning, Chaison said.
Rachel Gray, Kansas City,
Mo., junior, said she used a
loan from the Kansas University
Endowment Association to
help pay for The Costa Rica
Experience, a two-week study
abroad trip in January. Gray
said the trip helped her inter-
act with students she normally
wouldnt meet.
You can learn more in the
span of time you are in a dif-
ferent country than you can in
four years at the University,
Gray said.
Jenna Sheldon-Sherman,
a 2006 graduate who studied
abroad five times, said study-
ing abroad could give students
skills to use beyond gradua-
tion. Sheldon-Sherman now
attends Stanford Law School
and said her study abroad
experiences helped prepare
her for career-related issues
involving international law and
human rights.
A lot of people at Stanford
are from other countries and
for me to bring something to
the table in terms of my per-
sonal experience is great, she
said. To have experienced that
for myself gives me more per-
spectives.

recycled, that will bring in a certain
clientele.
Stanley said one way the group
would affiliate itself with the bar
would be by displaying its logo in
the bar window. It would signal
to customers that the bar was a
green bar.
Stanley said he hoped an incen-
tive like this would generate com-
petitive momentum for other bars
to join the network. Stanley also
said when enough bars signed on
he hoped to get exposure for the
bars by organizing green pub-
crawls.
I really think this is an issue
students care about, Stanley said.
Its a chance for them to show the
Lawrence community that theyre
committed to recycling.
Scafe said if the majority of
bars were to start recycling, col-
lection centers in Lawrence could
become overwhelmed with the
influx of glass. But Stanley said
starting in May, Kansas City, Mo.,
would have its own glass recy-
cling plant. He said the proxim-
ity of the new plant would lower
recycling costs.
Wasserman said she hoped busi-
nesses would have a better incen-
tive to recycle glass.
Ive always felt that recycling is
one of the easiest and smallest ways
we can all do our part, Wasserman
said.

Ticketmaster sales tactics
TRENTON, N.J. Bruce Spring-
steen says he is furious with Tick-

practices a confict of interest.
The Boss comments Wednesday
come after complaints that the
vendor was redirecting fans to
a more expensive ticket seller
owned by the company.
When tickets for Springsteens
show at New Jerseys Meadow-
lands went on sale Monday, some
fans got an error message on
their computer screen that shut
them out. Then an ad appeared
for TicketsNow ofering tickets for
hundreds of dollars more than
face value.
Springsteen says he has re-
ceived assurances from Ticketmas-
ter that it stopped redirecting fans

How To SUBmiT A LETTER To THE EDiToR
P
ope: Hey, Ryan. Ive got a
problem.
Snyder: Whats up?
Pope: Well, not me person-
ally, but some friends of mine. As
columnists for their universitys
newspaper, the Collegiate Nightly
Nasnak, they had this really great
idea to spice up their section. All
they asked in return was for a
little help from their loyal fans,
but in a cruel twist of fate they
were betrayed and ignored.
Snyder: Wow, thats terrible.
Judging from your description,
these guys seem like theyre both
extremely talented and devilishly
handsome. Who could be so cold
and callous?
Pope: The worst part is that
it would only take their readers
a few minutes out of the day to
help these guys out, and they
would be rewarded with quality
entertainment.
Snyder: To be fair, they could
be doing so many other things
with those few minutes, such as
making a delicious Hot Pocket
and then throwing it up, that are
equally rewarding. Besides, if I
wanted to spend that much time
in thought I would actually go to
class. Im not surprised that they
havent received any help.
Pope: Thats not entirely true.
Ive been told that a few tremen-
dously bored individuals have
made attempts to contribute,
though their suggestions werent
that great. I mean, does anyone
really want to read a debate about
the winner of a fight between a
shark and a tiger in zero-gravity?
Snyder: Of course not. Its
obvious that the shark would win.
Pope: Are you kidding? A
shark has just its mouth to attack
with, while the tiger has that
and four claws! Thats a 5-to-1
attack ratio. The only way the
tiger could lose is if it were from
Missouri. They cant win any-
thing.
Snyder: Dont throw your
fancy education at me. That has
no business in this argument. In
fact, this argument has no busi-
ness here to begin with! Its no
wonder those guys feel betrayed;
who could work with that?
Pope: The thing I cant under-
stand is why people would be
hesitant to have a say in what
they read in their daily paper.
Isnt that the reason Facebook
and iGoogle are so popular?
Because they tailor information
to suit specific interests? If I ever
had the opportunity to get my
name put in print, by golly, Id
do everything I could to make
that happen rob a bank, punt
a puppy, write a subpar opinion
column. Nothing would stand in
my way.
Snyder: Plus, theres the
chance that by writing in, some
of the columnists greatness
could rub off on the reader. And
maybe, just maybe, they would
want to rub off on the colum-
nists, too. Ladies.
Pope: You know, this whole
situation has taught me a valu-
able lesson. You shouldnt be
afraid to voice your own opin-
ions and become an active con-
sumer of media, especially when
its easy to do so.
Snyder: Besides, if you dont,
we will unleash a gravity-defying
tiger and shark to destroy you.
Be thankful for such generosity.
Pope: Youre welcome.
P.S. Please, for the love of
everything holy, read the little
box and send us ideas. Were
dying here!

Faith and evolution
dont have to clash
Wednesdays article on the
200th anniversary of the birth
of Charles Darwin showcased
several points of view, but
neglected a major one shared
by many cutting edge scientists
and theologians namely, that
there is no confict between
faith and science.
This point of view, known
as theistic evolution, contends
that God created the universe
and used evolution as a means
of creating life. As a Christian
who was raised to be skeptical
of biological evolution, I have
come to recognize that the evi-
dence for biological evolution is
overwhelming, but that it does
not provide answers for other
major questions such as: Why
are we here? Is there a such
thing as objective morality?
What is the purpose of life? I see
no confict between modern
science and Biblical passages
that were written poetically to
convey the wonder of nature
and Gods power to an ancient
audience, not to convey specifc
scientifc facts.
Francis Collins, former head
of the Human Genome Project
and a devout Christian, wrote
a wonderful book called The
Language of God defend-
ing theistic evolution. He fts
evolution within a Biblical
framework and encourages
Christians to consider it as an
alternative to creationism. But
he also reminds scientists that
science and faith can coexist. I
would recommend the book to
anybody who fnds the notion
of an either-or proposition of
science versus faith ultimately
unsatisfying, and who is open
to the idea that the two can be
harmonized.

W
hen the news broke
that peanut butter was
linked to salmonella,
I felt a sick sense of glee. Not
because, according to Scientific
American, hundreds of people
were sick with the vomiting and
diarrhea that comes with poisoned
food, or because I think a handful
of deaths is funny. Its because
for the first time, people were
beginning to see peanuts the way I
see them every day: as the enemy.
According to the Asthma and
Allergy Foundation of America,
2 percent of the population is
allergic to peanuts. In most cases,
its a lifelong allergy that only
worsens with each exposure.
And by exposure, I dont mean
eating a Snickers bar, or even a
whole peanut, although thatll
definitely do it. I mean eating
something that was processed on
the same equipment as peanuts,
or a dish that came in contact
with the same spoon used to
stir something with peanuts. I
mean being kissed on the cheek
by someone who ate a handful
of mixed nuts and having a rash
break out in the shape of puckered
lips.
Perhaps part of the reason I
became so interested in food and
nutrition is because I was trained
at an early age to read label after
label of every product I ate. My
allergy is the reason I own so
many Asian cookbooks. I havent
ordered Chinese takeout for more
than 10 years because its too high
of a risk.
In the last few years, there have
been quite a few stories about
elementary schools banning
peanuts from lunchrooms or
establishing allergen-free tables
where kids are sequestered to eat
in safety.
But tactics such as these do
more harm than good. Sure, it
educates parents that its not okay
to tell a kid to pick the peanuts
out of a snack, and its probably
prevented quite a few accidental
allergy attacks. But it also takes
the pressure to be careful off the
kid with the allergy. This kind of
training is dangerous because in
the real world the only allergy-free
zones are a couple of shelves in a
health supermarket stocked with
special cookies and energy bars.
The last time I got sick was a
few years ago on vacation, when
I asked a waiter three times if
there were any peanuts in any
of the dishes I had ordered. The
second time I asked was when I
took one bite of my salad. I dont
really know what peanuts taste like
exactly, I just know their presence
by the terror that accompanies
that smell, that taste. I laid my fork
down, turned to my mom, and
said, Get the waiter I know
somethings up.
By the third time I asked, I
could feel my mouth swelling
up, my throat itching, and my
stomach tense with the fear of
what might be to come. It was
only then that the embarrassed but
rather nonchalant waiter reported
that occasionally they substituted
peanut vinaigrette on the salad.
An hour later, I was in the
hospital with an IV in my arm,
luckily more scared than sick. But
even then, I knew my reaction
had gotten worse, and that I was
edging towards anaphylactic
shock, the symptom that makes
peanut allergies the most common
cause of food-related death.
Eventually the salmonella
recall will be lifted, and peanuts
will once again be safe to spread
between two slices of bread or
to munch between classes. But
right now, Ill relish each bite
knowing there are fewer peanuts
contaminating my world.

ROME Scholars Pub was
packed. Moving from a table to
the bar meant a couple of minutes,
a few bumped elbows and a stain
from someones spilled beer on the
way there. Drink prices were nearly
doubled. Every TV featured foot-
ball, not the usual futbol.
This was Europe Rome
but the crowd was more Mississippi
River than Mediterranean Sea.
These were Americans, all of them
staying up for a midnight kickoff for
a game thats celebrated as a holiday
back in the States.
In the left corner, a group shouted
Lets go, Steelers every few minutes.
They wore black and gold, waved
Terrible Towels and worshiped the
No. 7, the digit of their quarterback
and their teams trip to the Super
Bowl. They were Pittsburgh trans-
plants, mostly Duquesne students in
Italy for the semester abroad. They
took up nearly one side of the bar,
save for about five loud men.
Americans too, these young
men sang a harmonic chant for
the Cardinals, something you might
hear at a soccer match. Perhaps they
were at the bar earlier to see the last
minutes of the Lazio-Milan game.
Midnight. Kickoff inched closer.
This was the big night. This was the
Super Bowl. Everyone knew it.
Except for a mother and a son.
They sat in the action, a few feet
away from the Steeler fanatics, two
Britons on the middle two stools in
front of the bar, soaking in an atmo-
sphere theyd never experienced and
enjoying the first half of a game that
the mother had no idea about until
she started asking questions.
So, she asked, how do you
score a goal in football?

NEWS 8A thursday, february 5, 2009
BY BRIANNE PFANNENSTIEL
bpfannenstiel@kansan.com
Student Senate coalitions have
announced their presidential and
vice presidential nominations as
they gear up for spring elections,
but some things havent changed
from previous years. Namely, the
presence of multiple greek candi-
dates.
During the last five Senate elec-
tions, including this years race,
only two of the major coalitions
have run without a greek candidate
for either president or vice presi-
dent. Delta Force ran once in 2006
and again in 2007 without a greek
presidential or vice presidential
pick. They lost both elections.
So what does it take to win a
Student Senate election?
Its all polItIcal
During the past two years the
nation has watched Barack Obama
go from senator to president of the
United States. His campaign was
revolutionary in many ways. But in
the end, it boiled down to the same
principles that have been guiding
politics for decades: It was about
winning.
Those same principles that gov-
ern national elec-
tions have been
at play in campus
politics for just as
long.
All elections
are the same, said
Mark Joslyn, asso-
ciate professor of
political science.
Its a matter of
looking at voters
and what they want and what they
need and making yourself look
like them.
Joslyn said Student Senates ten-
dency to pick greek candidates to
run for the top spots mirrored
national elections and the need to
appeal to an important constitu-
ency of voters.
Usually the presidents vice
president choice is strategic in
terms of attracting demographics,
Joslyn said. They all try to balance
the ticket in an ideological and in a
practical sense.
In the ideological sense, Joslyn
said, a president
would look for
someone who bal-
anced out his politi-
cal strengths and
weaknesses. For
instance, President
Obama chose
Senator Joe Biden
as his vice presiden-
tial pick because of
his years of experi-
ence in national politics and for-
eign affairs. But Joslyn said another
important factor was practicality
candidates needed to appeal to a
wide range of voters.
the Greek communIty
The greek community, which
comprises 14 percent of the student
body, can be a big player in Student
Senate. More than 3,500 students
are involved in greek organiza-
tions.
J.J. Siler, Overland Park junior
and Envsions student body presi-
dent candidate, said coalitions
tended to campaign heavily to the
greek community because greeks
consistently turned out to vote
every year. Siler said connections
to houses and suggestions from fel-
low house mem-
bers might help
motivate members
of the greek com-
munity to vote
more often.
It often comes
down to where
you have connec-
tions, Siler said.
Ive been involved
in the greek com-
munity during my time here, so
definitely Ill campaign to them a
little bit harder.
Michael Gillaspie, Ashland
senior and student body vice
president who ran with United
Students, said that United Students
generally ran with a greek student
on the ticket because of a continu-
ous partnership that had developed
over the years.
Coalitions try to emulate other
coalitions that have won in the
past, Gillaspie said. So if youve
been representing the greek com-
munity for the past 30 or how-
ever many years and
theres a continued
succession of win-
ning the elections, it
might make sense to
try it.
what does
thIs mean
for
students?
Voter turnout in
Senate elections is infamously low.
In fact, there has yet to be an
election in which voter turnout
exceeds 20 percent. During the
past five years, turnout has ranged

Bingo helps lighten the load on students wallets
BY MICHELLE SPREHE
msprehe@kansan.com
Any money-saving alternative
sounds more appealing than clip-
ping coupons or making a budget.
On Tuesday night, 169 students
discovered they could keep money
in their pocketbooks by shouting,
BINGO!
Student Union Activities hosted
Grocery and Gas Bingo at the
Kansas Union Ballroom where
students competed for the chance
to win groceries or gas cards worth
$20, $25 and $30.
Eric Jury, Lake Quivira senior
and games coordinator for SUA,
helped organize the event.
With the economy, people
realized they could save a few
bucks on groceries so they came
out, Jury said.
About $500 worth of groceries
and gas cards were purchased from
Checkers Food, 2300 Louisiana
St., and local Conoco gas stations
for students to win.
Were trying to help people out at
the pump as well as food, Jury said.
In the past, winners of the event
could take a bag full of groceries.
But on Tuesday, winners could
only choose two grocery items to
take home.
With the rising cost of food
right now, we want to give stu-
dents an option to win so we give
out more items now and less bags
of groceries, Jury said.
To attract more students, gas
cards were randomly given to win-
ners for the first time. Esterenia
Armanto, Jarkarta, Indonesia,
sophomore, was the committee
head for the event.
We are trying to make some-
thing new every year so its not
boring, Armanto said.
Megan Do, Wichita sophomore,
won by forming a U shape on
her bingo card.
I have horrible luck, Do said.
It was the first time Id ever won
at bingo.
Do won a box of macaroni and
cheese and a box of cereal, which
she gave to a friend.
Jury said between 30 and 40
students walked away with prizes.
A full bag of groceries and a $50
gas card were also given away.
My favorite part of the night
was to see how excited people got,
Do said. At times people were
getting a little intense.
SUA will host Grocery and Gas
Bingo again on March 27 at 8 p.m.
in the Union Ballroom.

Bowe Neuenschwander, Hoxie senior, and Jon Hufmaster, St. Louis senior, wait for the
next number to be read at SUAs Grocery Bingo night. Hufmaster needed one more space flled
to win the round. SUA holds Bingo night each semester and entertained a record crowd of 169 on
Tuesday night.
between 13 and 16 percent. Last
years turnout was 14.5 percent.
I dont think theres an organiza-
tion like Senate anywhere else in the
world, where people give you $400
and dont care what happens to it,
Siler said.
Adam McGonigle, Wichita junior
and student body president, said
he didnt feel one constituency was
being overrepresented on campus.
He said the best way for students
to have their voices heard was to
vote and to ask their candidates to
provide them with solid ideas and
platforms.
I think students should expect
ideas and plans from their candi-
dates, McGonigle said. I think
they should expect a lot of specifics
in those plans. But above all, they
should demand honesty and integ-
rity in the campaign.

eres hoping you have a
half dozen or so grains
of salt on hand today
when examining this years football
recruiting class.
Its a doozy. Best of coach Mark
Manginos career, they say. And
why shouldnt it be? This is the
first class recruited on the heels
of Kansas 2008 Orange Bowl vic-
tory. The completion of the $31
million Anderson Family Football
Complex last summer also made
Kansas competitive over the Notre
Dames, Nebraskas, Floridas and
Michigans of the recruiting world.
Were looking at the nations
third ranked fullback. One pro-
style and one dual-threat quarter-
back. Two towering receivers in the
mold of former Jayhawk Marcus
Henry.
Somewhere lies one of college
footballs great conundrums. Look
closely. Its in the stars.
In sports we tend to enjoy mea-
suring athletes and accomplish-
ments with comfortable numbers.
Five hundred home runs are good
for a slot in baseballs Hall of Fame.
A three-and-a-half point spread in
Vegas can end a life, a marriage or
just as easily lead to early retire-
ment. High school athletes are
assigned star rankings by recruiting
services to forecast future success
in college.
With example No. 3 in mind, it
is as strange to declare that the class
of 2009 could be better than any of
the recruiting classes Todd Reesing
or Aquib Talib were on as it would
have been to predict seven years
ago that Mangino would mold two-
and three-star recruits to be among
the best to wear crimson and blue.
Four-star fullback Toben
Opurum could bowl over Big 12
linebackers from day one. Four-
star safety Prinz Kande has the
potential to break up a play in
the backfield or cover the spread
offenses of the Big 12 into oblivion.
But Mangino and Co.s recruiting
history circa 2002 suggests we may
also want to take an equally close
look at this years pair of two-star
recruits: offensive linemen Tom
Mabry and Riley Spencer.
Say what? Lets go to the books.
Notable 2-star recruits since
2002-07: Jon Cornish, Derek Fine,
Charles Gordon, Cesar Rodriguez,
Joe Vaughn, Ryan Cantrell,
Anthony Collins, Dexton Fields,
Joe Mortenson, Aqib Talib, Russell
Brorsen, James Holt, Jake Laptad.
Notable 3-star recruits from
2002-07: Nick Reid, Mark
Simmons, Bill Whittemore,
Brandon McAnderson, Scott Webb,
James McClinton, Mike Rivera,
Marcus Herford, Kerry Meier,
Darrell Stuckey, Todd Reesing, Jake
Sharp, Dezmon Briscoe.
Hype all you want, but Mangino
and his staff lead the nation in
recruiting categories that dont
fit so conveniently in charts and
graphs. That is in the categories
of character, discipline and intel-
ligence. It just so happens Kansas
coaching staff is adept at turning
overlooked athletes into champi-
ons.
We all have potential its what
is made of it that counts.

smontemayor@kansan.com
Keeping his decision under
wraps until Wednesday, wide
receiver Bradley McDougald of
Dublin, Ohio, was the frst to fax
his letter of intent to Kansas on
National Signing Day.
McDougald, a four-star signee,
became the frst of 24 recruits to
sign with Kansas and the fourth
four-star recruit in this years class
more than any in coach Mark
Manginos tenure.
Despite the rankings Rivals.
com has Kansas class ranked 31st
nationally Mangino introduced
his latest recruiting class in usual
fashion.
Ill tell you today what I have
every year that Ive been here at this
program, that we think weve got
some talented kids but you never
know until they get on a Big 12 feld
what theyre going to do, Mangino
said.
Kansas received letters of intent
from six defensive backs and fve
defensive linemen following a sea-
son in which fve of the nations top
10 scoring ofenses hailed from the
Big 12. Te Jayhawks fnished sev-
enth in the Big 12 in total defense
last season.
We went out to fnd some people
in the secondary
that can change
direction well and
help in the short
term, Mangino
said. Some of
these kids have
the ability to be
outstanding play-
ers in the Big 12
on the defensive
side of the ball.
Mangino said cornerback D.J.
Beshears a three-
star signee from
Denton, Texas is
good enough to also
contribute at receiver
if needed. Four-star
signee Prinz Kande
of Euless, Texas,
joins Kansas prod-
uct Darian Kelly of
Girard and Dexter
Linton of Arlington,
Texas, to comprise one of the
nations top safety classes. Kande
drew Manginos attention as an asset
in combating Big 12 ofenses.
I like everything about Prinz,
Mangino said. He closes to the
football like a rocket. His instincts
are great. If hes playing zone or
man or run support, hes going to
be on the ball.
Mangino said he and his staf
believe theyve helped themselves
on the defensive line in this class
as well. Four-star defensive end
Quintin Woods of Flint, Mich., is
one of three junior college players
to sign and is among the players
Mangino expects to contend for
immediate playing time.
His frame reminds you a little
bit of Charlton Keith, Mangino
said. He comes of the ball with
quickness, and hes an athletic kid.
Mangino also believes the two

His col-
lege choice
unknown
until
Wednesday
morn-
ing, wide
receiver
Bradley
McDougald
of Dublin, Ohio immediately
jumps to the head of this years
class with his decision to sign
with Kansas.
McDougald was initially
classifed at safety where he
was ranked 11th nationally by
Rivals.com but coach Mark
Mangino has him penciled in
at wide receiver.
He is very talented, has
good range, runs well and is
very athletic, Mangino said.
McDougalds letter of intent
made it four four-star signees
for Kansas this year most
ever in the Mangino era.
McDougald saw playing
time all over the feld at Scioto
High School. He recorded 37
tackles and one interception
in seven games as a senior. On
ofense he rushed 87 times for
432 yards and six touchdowns
and caught eight passes for
135 yards and one score.
He also returned punts and
kickofs.

Kansas coach
WomenS BaSketBall
By Jayson JenKs
jjenks@kansan.com
At the first media timeout,
four minutes and one second
into Kansas 65-54 victory against
Colorado on Wednesday night, the
Jayhawks jogged to the bench with
coach Bonnie Henrickson display-
ing a stare of complete disbelief.
True, Kansas trailed by only one
point at the time. But the Jayhawks
sluggish and uninspired start left
Henrickson shocked.
It was like we were in a coma,
Henrickson said. Both ends of
the floor we were terrible and not
executing. I wasnt worried, I just
didnt understand why.
Neither did Kansas players.
Coming off their best performance
on the road this season at No.
10 Texas A&M on Saturday, the
Jayhawks turned the ball over and
looked out of sync on the offensive
end.
For a team attempting to snap a
four-game losing streak, thats not
what Henrickson or her players
expected.
It felt like we
were in shellshock
or something,
junior forward
Danielle McCray
said. I dont know
what was happen-
ing. It was just
slow and we were
missing shots and
coming late to
things. After that media timeout, I
think we got things going.
During the games opening four
minutes, Henrickson pleaded with
her team to pick up the intensity.
While Kansas never trailed by more
than five at any point, the Jayhawks
struggled early with offensive con-
sistency.
Midway through the first half,
though, Kansas began playing more
like a team desper-
ately in need of a win.
Sparked by two play-
ers who combined for
six points in Kansas
last two games, junior
guard Kelly Kohn and
sophomore forward
Nicollette Smith, the
Jayhawks outscored
the Buffaloes 21-4 to
end the first half.
Kohn hit two three-pointers and
Nicollette Smith added another in
helping Kansas to a 32-18 halftime
lead.
We knew that this was kind of
like a must win game, junior guard
Sade Morris said. We knew if we
want to make the tournament, we
had to win this game. We were like
look, lets put this behind us, play
some defense and get up in them.
Thats exactly what Kansas did.
Kansas defense created turn-
overs and forced Colorado to settle
for bad shots in the first half. The
Buffaloes made just 29 percent of
their first-half shots and commit-
ted 21 turnovers.
And during Kansas run to end
the first half, defense provided a
spark.
Man, I feel like when we play
defense, that makes our offense
so much easier, Morris said. We
get in a really good flow and then
everything goes right for us.
Kansas overcomes slow start to defeat Colorado
weston white/KANSAN
junior guard Sade morris takes
the ball to the basket for two points
Wednesday against Colorado. Morris put
up 13 points in Kansas 65-54 win over
the Bufaloes.
Danielle McCray scores 24 points to help the Jayhawks collect second conference victory
Man, I feel like when
we play defense, that
makes our ofense so
much easier.

ess than two years after
David Beckham mania
arrived in the United
States, the global icon is push-
ing for a permanent move to AC
Milan.
And I say good for him.
As much hype as Beckham
generated for Major League
Soccer at a time when the league
really needed the publicity, he
just isnt the type of player to take
American soccer to the next level.
The initial
media frenzy
has died
down, and, in
a country that
views soccer
as a second-
class profes-
sional sport,
Beckhams
sublime but
understated skills were never
going to be enough to hold the
casual sport fans interest. People
want to see the amazing, the
mind boggling.
Beckham still may be the
best crosser in the world. His
dead-ball skills have never been
disputed. But he was never going
to be Pel. Taking on opposing
defenses just isnt his thing, and
as time went on it became obvi-
ous Beckham was frustrated with
the complete lack of talent sur-
rounding him in Los Angeles.
His recent performances with
Milan show he still has the ability
to perform at the highest level.
Who could blame him for want-
ing to squeeze the most out of an
already decorated career?

recrUiting class
On a day dominated by col-
lege football insanity, that other
football team at Kansas hauled
in a decorated recruiting class of
its own.
Although the Jayhawks boast
nine returning starters from
a team that made the NCAA
Tournament, the six players coach
Mark Francis signed should have
a chance to put their stamp on
the program in year one. Francis
has a history of giving freshman
significant minutes if the situa-
tion is right for both player and
team.
Seniors Jessica Bush, Missy
Geha, Jenny Murtaugh all started
from the time they set foot on
campus as did juniors Monica
Dolinsky, Estelle Johnson and
Shannon McCabe. The incom-
ing freshman will face an uphill
battle, but if history is any indica-
tion, playing time could come
earlier rather than later.
Tori Baldridge, 5-foot-9 defend-
er (Le Crescenta, Calif.)
Whitney Berry, 5-foot-5 for-
ward/midfielder (Wichita)
Nicole Chrisopulos, 5-foot-3
midfielder (Rowlett, Texas)
Amy Grow, 5-foot-8 forward
(Edmond, Okla.)
Logan Reed, 5-foot-10 goal-
keeper (Dallas, Texas)
Shelby Williamson, 5-foot-6

As a longtime Jim Rome hater
I just dont
deal with soc-
cer bashers
rationally it
came as huge
surprise that
I had never
seen Romes
epic run in
with NFL
quarterback
Jim Everett.
A little background informa-
tion is needed to really under-
stand what happened. Rome
had made a habit of not using
Everetts first name, instead call-
ing him Chris Evert in a refer-
ence to the female tennis player.
Rome was mocking what Rome
perceived as Everetts unwilling-
ness to take a hit, and apparently
Everett didnt appreciate it in the
least.
When Everett appeared on
Romes ESPN2 show, Talk2,
in 1994, Rome in his usual
charming fashion continued
to call his guest Chris to his face
despite repeated warnings, lead-
ing to a physical confrontation on
the set of the show.
Plug Jim Rome, Jim Everett
into Youtube, and enjoy one of
sports radio and televisions most
pompous talking heads getting
what was coming to him.

School board stops use of
hypnosis before games
ST. JOHN A high school
basketball coach has been told he
cant hypnotize his players any-
more because it sends the wrong
message to other schools and
could get the students hooked on
hypnosis.
The St. John High School boys
team the same team that won
state two years ago and fnished
second last year was just 7-6
through last week when coach
Clint Kinnamon decided to bring
in a hypnotist.
Letters were sent to parents
asking them to sign permission
slips for their sons to participate in
the hypnosis sessions.
On Monday night, the St. John
School Board voted to end the
hypnosis sessions.
It wont be going on any more
at school, said superintendent
James Kenworthy. If parents want
their child to do that, they can
contact the licensed therapist on
their own.
Kenworthy said he has request-
ed a transcript of the session, and
is concerned that hypnotizing stu-
dents sends the wrong message.
The Kansas State High School
Activities Association has no rules
regarding hypnosis.
The night after the board
ordered the hypnosis to stop, St.
John beat Western Plains 53-43 in
Ransom.

It was an innocent question.
After Kansas 75-65 victory
against Baylor Monday, a reporter
asked Kansas coach Bill Self in the
postgame press conference whether
his relatively young teams success
surprised him.
Relatively? Self quipped.
Its easy to forget that five of the
eight players who appeared for at
least a minute in the victory at the
Ferrell Center didnt play for the
Jayhawks at all last season. Its hard
to remember that only one of them
junior guard Sherron Collins
averaged more than 10 minutes per
game on the national championship
team.
Those facts tend to be overlooked
lately because the Jayhawks are 7-0
in the Big 12 Conference and tied
with Oklahoma for first place. Their
hot start to the conference season
last years team only won their first
five conference games before losing
has everyone surprised. Even the
players consider themselves ahead
of schedule.
Im impressed, but I cant be too
impressed, Collins said. This is
what we expect.
The victory against Baylor helped
legitimize Kansas as a contender for
the Big 12 Conference champion-
ship. Coming into the game, the
Jayhawks schedule allowed reason
for doubt.
Although the Jayhawks had won
their first six games, they had not
beaten any teams in the top half of
the Big 12 standings and were only
4-4 away from Allen Fieldhouse.
I think our 6-0 record in the
league going into this, some people
probably viewed it as Well, they had
a favorable schedule, or whatever,
Self said. Which, before the sea-
son, you dont know its going to be
favorable.
But before the season, the road
trip to Baylor certainly looked like
one of the most daunting assign-
ments. The Bears are among the
most talented and experienced
teams in the Big 12.
Self said it wasnt the double-digit
victory that proved Kansas was here
to stay, but the way it got there. Self
used his preferred
eight-man rota-
tion Collins,
freshman guard
Tyshawn Taylor,
sophomore guards
Brady Morningstar
and Tyrel Reed,
junior guard Mario
Little, freshmen
forwards Marcus
and Markieff
Morris and sophomore center Cole
Aldrich and received the desir-
able result.
Each of them scored at least
three points and played sufficient
defense. Call it coach-speak, but Self
described it as a team effort.
Those guys played great, Self
said. Everyone contributed.
But Self is cautious and quick
to point out that February will
be a tough month. After play-
ing Oklahoma State
Saturday at Allen
Fieldhouse, Kansas
takes on both
Missouri and Kansas
State on the road next
week.
The Jayhawks then
play Nebraska and
Iowa State at home
leading up to a Big
Monday showdown
on Feb. 23 at Oklahoma, which is
ranked second in the nation. Self
wont say the Jayhawks are ready for
the three-week stretch, but theyre
getting closer.
Weve had some things hap-
pen to us that we didnt like going
through, but we probably knew
we had to go through it, Self said.
Were still not as tough and hard as
we need to be.
Throw out the relatively. Is Self
surprised by his young teams flaw-
less Big 12 record?
Im happy that were 7-0, Self
said. But not really. No.

Freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor, seen here in Kansas Feb. 2 game against Baylor University
inWaco, is one of six freshmen playing for the Jayhawk basketball teamthis season. The Jay-
hawks are making signifcant use of their freshmen in terms of minutes on the court, especially
unusual in a teamthat is currently 7-0 in conference play.
Im impressed, but I
cant be too im-
pressed. This is what
we expect.
Sherron collinS
Junior guard
defensive tackles Kansas signed,
Travis Stephens of Houston,
Texas also a junior college
player and Randall Dent, Jr. of
Grand Prairie, Texas, can make
immediate contributions.
Ofensively, Kansas adds size
on both the line and at sev-
eral skill positions. Tree-star
wide receivers Erick McGrif of
Tampa, Fla., and Chris Omigie
of Arlington, Texas, measure
6-foot-4 and 6-foot-5. Four-star
running back Toben Opurum of
Plano, Texas, was ranked as the
countrys third-best fullback but
at 6-foot-2, 229 pounds will line
up at running back.
Toben Opurum is the big,
strong running back that we have
been looking for, Mangino said.
He not only has speed and agil-
ity and great vision, but he has
the power to go along with it.
A pair of three-star quarter-
back signees enter the conver-
sation as to who will succeed
Todd Reesing afer 2009. Jordan
Webb of Union, Mo., is one of
four players already on cam-
pus and Christian Matthews of
Arlington, Texas, brings speed to
the position.
Both throw the ball very
well, both are intelligent and
both can beat you with their
feet, Mangino said.
Tis years class is the frst
group recruited after Kansas
2008 Orange Bowl victory and
the completion of the $31 mil-
lion Anderson Family Football
Complex. While those develop-
ments have indeed put Kansas
on more highly-regarded ath-
letes short lists than ever before,
Mangino maintained that they
arent his programs selling point.
Theres no question that
having a nice facility helped,
Mangino said. But our selling
point here is the people, and that
has never changed since Ive been
here. I continue to work as hard
as I can to get the best assistant
coaches and support staf around
me that care about the kids.

mixed martial arts
MMA leaders in DC to combat regulations
AssociAted Press
WASHINGTON Ultimate
Fighting Championship has come
to Washington to engage in the
citys ultimate sport: lobbying.
The biggest name in mixed
martial arts, UFC is a multimil-
lion-dollar busi-
ness that fills are-
nas, broadcasts
events on pay-
per-view and has
deals with cable
networks such
as Spike TV. The
sport, which
combines jiujitsu,
judo, karate, box-
ing, kickboxing
and wrestling, has put off some
critics with its ferocity, including
such tactics as kicks to the head.
The sports owners are con-
cerned that it could come under
federal regulation by a proposed
new commission to regulate box-
ing that two senior lawmakers
are pushing. To help head that
off, the Las Vegas-based UFC
spent $240,000 last year lobbying
Congress.
Its biggest task, said lobby-
ist Makan Delrahim, is to con-
vince Congress that the sport
has cleaned up its act since the
1990s, when it drew the opposi-
tion of Sen. John McCain R-Ariz.
He once referred to it as human
cockfighting and called for it to
be banned.
Back then, it was no holds
barred, marketed as
two men walk in,
one man walks out,
said Delrahim, a for-
mer deputy assistant
attorney general in
the Bush administra-
tion. Now, he said, its
a mainstream sport
that is sanctioned
and regulated by ath-
letic commissions in
37 states. Delrahim said his clients
dont care whether boxing is regu-
lated, as long as their sport isnt
included.
McCain, who is sponsoring the
boxing legislation in the Senate,
declined to be interviewed. In a
statement, he said the bill would
better protect professional box-
ing from the fraud, corruption
and ineffective regulation that
have plagued the sport for far too
many years and that have devas-
tated physically and financially
many of our nations professional
boxers.
The bills House sponsor is
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., who
often spars in the boxing ring. He
said there was no intent to cover
mixed martial arts when the bill
was drafted, and he didnt think
the legislation would apply to it.
He said hed prefer to keep the
bill focused on boxing, because
adding mixed martial arts might
complicate chances for passage.
The proposed legislation
would establish a U.S. Boxing
Commission under the Commerce
Department, charged with pro-
tecting the health,
safety and general
interests of boxers.
The commission
would oversee all
professional box-
ing matches and
license boxers,
promoters, man-
agers and sanc-
tioning organiza-
tions.
McCain and King have pushed
the legislation for years and came
close to success in 2004, when
it passed the Senate but not the
House.
In 2005, the Justice Department
sent a letter to the Senate
Commerce Committee, express-
ing serious constitutional objec-
tions to several provisions of the
bill, such as one that would limit
the presidents authority to remove
members of the boxing commis-
sion. That letter was signed by
William Moschella, an assistant
attorney general; Moschella has
since left the government and is
now part of UFCs lobbying team.
Congress has taken steps in the
past to help boxers. In 1996, it
established minimum health and
safety standards for professional
boxing, which were
expanded by the
Muhammad Ali
Boxing Reform Act
of 2000. In 2004, Ali
testified in favor of
McCains bill; his
testimony was read
by his wife, Lonnie
Ali, because Ali suf-
fers from Parkinsons
disease.
King said the legislation is
needed to protect boxers.
Not just protection in the ring
they get abused by promoters,
he said. They can get abused
going from state to state, getting
brain damage. So we have to have
coordinated rules. There has to
be national standards set. There
should be the ability to penalize
athletic commissioners that dont
comply.
The boxing industry is fight-
ing back.
Our position is that the federal
government, especially in times
like were having right now with a
trillion-dollar deficit, doesnt need
to create a new federal agency
to regulate a sport, said Noah
Reandeau, who lobbies against
the bill on behalf of both the
International Boxing Federation
and the World Boxing Federation.
He said the IBF has taken a lead-
ing role to establish uniform stan-
dards in the states.
King wasnt buying that. Ive
been a boxing fan for almost 60
years, he said. Those federations
are always promising to do it next
week. Im still waiting.
Reandeau said that his clients
would support a more limited
boxing bill, aimed at requiring
states to have minimum standards
before professional boxing match-
es could be held.

Beckham
wants to
stay with
AC Milan
AssociAted Press
GLASGOW, Scotland David
Beckham wants to leave the Los
Angeles Galaxy and stay with AC
Milan after his loan to the Italian
club is scheduled to end March 8.
The 33-year-old English mid-
fielder announced his intentions
Wednesday after playing in Milans
2-2 exhibition tie at Glasgow
Rangers. Beckham has scored twice
for Milan and been included in the
teams 25-man roster for UEFA Cup
games against Werder Bremen on
Feb. 18 and 26.
At the moment my lawyers are
not talking to the Galaxy, Beckham
said. But I have expressed my
desire to stay at AC Milan now, and
its just down to Milan and Galaxy
to come to an agreement.
I have enjoyed my time here, he
added. I knew I would enjoy it but
I didnt expect to enjoy it as much as
I have and do as well as I have.
Beckham is about two years into a
$32.5 million, five-year contract with
Major League Soccer. The Galaxy
had no immediate comment.
At this point its out of my hands,
the 33-year-old star said. Ive said
what my feelings are to both clubs.
Since coming to Italy, Beckham
has scored twice and helped to lift
Milan to second place in the Series
A standings.
Beckham needs one appearance
to tie defender Bobby Moore at 108
for the second-most international
games in English history, trailing
only goalkeeper Peter Shiltons 125,
and wants to play for England at
next years World Cup in South
Africa.
To be given the chance again to
play at this level at my age is pretty
incredible and Ive enjoyed it so
much I would like to continue it,
he said. I think people have seen
the way Ive been since playing at
this level again.
Its nothing against the MLS and
the football over there because its
a game that will grow, but it will
take quite a few years, he added.
Im still confident that will hap-
pen eventually, but I want to have
a chance of being involved in 2010
and I believe my best chance of
doing so is to remain here.
Those federations
are always promising
to do it next week.
Im still waiting.

tbern@kansan.com
Win or lose, Colorados Brittany
Spears almost always impacts the
game.
The sophomore forward ranks
third in the Big 12 with 18.2 points
per game, and shes only scored
fewer than 11 points once this sea-
son.
However, not since that disas-
trous November outing at No.
17 Virginia has Spears been such
a non-factor as she was against
Kansas.
In that game, she scored just four
points in 19 minutes. Wednesday
night she didnt score a field goal
until seven minutes into the sec-
ond half and turned the ball over
five times.
Asked what was the key to silenc-
ing Colorados weapon, Kansas
coach Bonnie Henrickson imme-
diately answered Sade Morris.
I think its as good a defensive
performance as shes had since the
Iowa game, Henrickson said. I
was proud of Sade for stepping up
to that challenge and really single-
handedly slowing her down.
In just her second game back
from a concussion, Morris played
33 minutes and shadowed Spears
throughout the game.
Spears shot 0-of-7 in the first
half and Morris defensive inten-
sity rubbed off on the rest of the
Jayhawks.
When you know someones
working hard on defense then
it makes you want to work even
harder just to reward her, junior
forward Danielle McCray said.
Once one person is on fire
defensively then it gets the whole
team excited, sophomore forward
Nicollette Smith said.
As a team, Kansas forced 21
turnovers and held Colorado to 45
percent shooting.
In addition to Morris stingy
defense, Henrickson commended
Nicollette on her ability to contain
Buffs guard Bianca Smith.
Bianca hit 7-of-10 behind the
three-point line in Saturdays 75-73
victory over Nebraska. Against
Kansas she was 2-for-9 and drained
just one three-pointer.
The most important thing
was for her to not get off threes,
Nicollette said. All week thats
been an emphasis, just to keep a
high hand and if anything make
her put it on the ground.
Once Kansas overcame its zom-
bie-like start to the game its defen-
sive gameplan went to script.
Spears eventually broke through
to score 10 points, but thats still
her second-lowest total of the sea-
son and those buckets came in gar-
bage time at the end.
Morris said that her one job in
Wednesdays game was to frustrate
Spears and let her teammates feed
off it. Thats exactly what hap-
pened.
Sade is a special person and
that defensive intensity is what she
brings to our team, McCray said.

scoring 24 points. Unlike previous
games, though, McCray received
help from her
teammates.
Morris added
13 points and
freshman forward
Aishah Sutherland
chipped in 12
points and five
rebounds off the
bench. At differ-
ent times in the
game, McCray,
Morris and Sutherland each scored
points in bunches.
For stretches in the second half
Kansas carelessness with the ball
allowed Colorado to remain within
striking distance. The Jayhawks
committed 12 turnovers in the sec-
ond half, allowing the Buffaloes to
cut their lead to seven late in the
second half.
But McCray scored
the games final four
points to seal Kansas
first victory in almost
three weeks.
It feels good to
have a smile on your
face again, McCray
said. I think that
we came out with a
purpose tonight and
knew that we needed to do things
we were capable of doing to get a
win.

Three-pointer shooters
return
Sophomore forward Nicol-
lette Smith couldnt remem-
ber the last time she hit a
three-pointer. But she wont
have a hard time remember-
ing now.
Along with junior guard
Kelly Kohns two three-
pointers, Smiths three in the
frst half provided Kansas
with a much-needed cushion
against Colorado.
It felt good to fnally hit
one, Smith said. And it felt
good that Kelly hit some
too. Shes that energy of the
bench that we need.
Turnovers good, then
bad
In the frst half, despite a
sluggish start, Kansas com-
mitted just four turnovers.
But, as junior forward Danielle
McCray said, it seemed that
the Jayhawks became satis-
fed with that number.
Kansas turned the ball over
12 times in the second half.
I think we all looked up
and saw we only had four
turnovers and got too happy,
McCray said.
Jacobs provides spark
Junior guard LaChelda
Jacobs scored just one point
against Colorado on Wednes-
day. But Jacobs still played a
signifcant role in Kansas 21-4
run to end the frst half.
Jacobs distributed fve
assists before halftime,
including the assists on both
of junior guard Kelly Kohns
three-pointers.

Bonds faces more scrutiny
ASSOCIATD PRESS
Former San Francisco Giants baseball player Barry Bonds arrives at the federal courthouse in San Francisco, Calif. in June 2008. The govern-
ments case against Bonds includes several positive drug test results that prosecutors say belong to the former slugger. That evidence was part of
hundreds of pages of court flings by prosecutors and Bonds attorneys that a federal judge opened today.
AssociAted Press
SAN FRANCISCO
Prosecutors in Barry Bonds trial
intend to introduce notes seized
from Greg Andersons house and
a clubhouse tape recording of the
personal trainer discussing injec-
tions in an effort to get around his
likely refusal to testify against the
home-run king.
Among hundreds of pages of
documents opened Wednesday was
a transcript of a taped conversa-
tion between Anderson, Bonds
personal trainer and then personal
assistant, Steve Hoskins, discussing
injecting the slugger, plus a list of
current and former major leaguers,
including Jason Giambi, who are
scheduled to testify
for the government
at Bonds upcoming
trial.
Among the evi-
dence was a posi-
tive test for amphet-
amines in 2006 in a
urine sample Bonds
gave to Major
League Baseball.
Bonds attorneys
want all that evidence suppressed,
and U.S. District Judge Susan
Illston is to rule today. Anderson,
jailed several times for refusing to
answer questions before a grand
jury, appears to be at the heart of
the governments case.
Hoskins, Bonds childhood
friend and personal assistant, tape
recorded a 2003 conversation at the
Pac Bell clubhouse with Anderson
in which injections are discussed.
Anderson: No, what happens
is, they put too much in one area,
and what it does, itll, itll actu-
ally ball up and puddle. And what
happens is, it actually will eat away
and make an indentation. And its
a cyst. It makes a big (expletive)
cyst. And you have to drain it. Oh
yeah, its gnarly ... Hi Benito ... oh
its gnarly.
Hoskins: He said his (expletive)
went ... thats why he has to, he had
to switch off of one cheek to the
other. Is that why Barrys didnt do
it in one spot, and you didnt just let
him do it one time?
Anderson: Oh no. I never. I
never just go there. I move it all
over the place.
The former San Francisco Giants
star is charged with lying to a grand
jury in 2003 when he said he never
knowingly used performance-
enhancing drugs. Federal prosecu-
tors allege that Bonds knowingly
used steroids, including a once
undetectable designer drug.
His trial is scheduled to start
March 2.
Bonds lawyers moved to sup-
press 24 drug tests from 2000-06;
more than two dozen drug cal-
endars; BALCO log sheets; hand-
written notes; opinion evidence on
steroids, human growth hormone,
THG, EPO and Clomid; witness
descriptions of Bonds physical,
behavioral and emotional char-
acteristics including acne on
his back, testicle shrinkage, head
size, hat size, hand size, foot size
and sexual behavior recorded
conversations that didnt include
Bonds; and voice mails alleged-
ly left by Bonds on the answer-
ing machine of former girlfriend
Kimberly Bell.
According to records pros-
ecutors took from BALCO, Bonds
tested positive on three separate
occasions in 2000 and 2001 for
the steroid methenelone in urine
samples; he also tested positive two
of those three times for the steroid
nandrolone. Prosecutors want to
use those test results to show Bonds
lied when he told a grand jury
in December 2003 that he never
knowingly used steroids.
In addition, a gov-
ernment-retained
scientist, Dr. Don
Catlin, said he found
evidence that Bonds
used the designer
steroid THG upon
retesting a urine
sample Bonds sup-
plied as part of base-
balls anonymous
survey drug testing
in 2003, when the designer drug
was not yet detectable. Federal
investigators seized them in 2004
from the private laboratory used by
Major League Baseball before they
could be destroyed, which the play-
ers were promised.
Catlin said the sample also tested
positive for Clomid and foreign
testosterone.
Included in the evidence was a
letter from baseball independent
drug administrator Bryan Smith
that Bonds tested positive for an
amphetamine during a drug test
on July 7, 2006. There also was a
letter from baseball commissioner
Bud Selig to Bonds that Aug. 1
informing him of the positive test
and telling him that he will be
subject to six more tests over a
one-year period.
The government said the Giants
had Bonds give blood samples to
St. Josephs Hospital and Medical
Center and to Chandler Regional
lab, and the government obtained
those test results. The government
said liver enzymes and cholesterol
levels in those results were indica-
tive of steroid use.
The court documents also
showed the prosecutors plan on
calling to the witness stand Jason
Giambi and his brother and for-
mer major leaguer Jeremy Giambi.
The government also plans to call
Bobby Estalella, Marvin Barnard
and Benito Santiago, all former
teammates of Bonds.
Anderson also worked with
those players and maintained so-
called doping calendars for them.
Prosecutors allege that Anderson
maintained a similar calendar for
Bonds.
Documents taken from
Andersons house detail steroid dis-
tribution from Anderson to Bonds
from 2000-03, according to a gov-
ernment brief. And Anderson also
discusses steroids with Hoskins
during that March 2003 clubhouse
chat.
Court papers stated that Hoskins
recorded the conversation on his
own initiative with no government
prompting. And federal prosecutors
said that Hoskins will be a key wit-
ness at the trial.
According to Hoskins, the fol-
lowing excerpt took place between
himself and Anderson in approxi-
mately March of 2003 at Pac Bell
Park near the defendants locker.
Anderson: ... everything that Ive
been doing at this point, its all
undetectable.
Hoskins: Right.
Anderson: See, the stuff that I
have ... we created it. And you cant,
you cant buy it anywhere. You cant
get it anywhere else. But, you can
take it the day of and pee ...
Hoskins: Uh-huh.
Anderson: And it come up with
nothing.
Hoskins: Isnt that the same
(expletive) that Marion Jones and
them were using?
Anderson: Yeah same stuff,
the same stuff that worked at the
Olympics.
Hoskins: Right, right.
Anderson: And they test them
every (expletive) week.
Hoskins: Every week. Right,
right.
Anderson: So thats why I know
it works. So thats why Im not even
trippin. So thats cool.
Bonds attorneys argue there is
simply no portion of what Anderson
states in reply to Hoskins question-
ing that unambiguously refers to
Mr. Bonds.
NFL
Chiefs Johnson wants out
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Chiefs Larry Johnson stands on the sideline during a Chiefs game against the
Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct. 7, 2007 in Kansas City, Mo. Johnson recently said he wanted to leave
the team.
AssociAted Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Chiefs
running back Larry Johnson,
fresh off a problem-plagued
season, said he wants to leave
Kansas City.
Speaking Wednesday morn-
ing on 610 Sports Radio, Johnson
said he thinks its time for him
and the Chiefs to break ties.
They can go on and find
what they want. And I can try to
go on and rebuild my career and
find what I want, Johnson said.
Chiefs spokesman Bob Moore
said there was nothing that
came out of the interview that
hadnt been talked about before.
Johnson, who has spent his six-
year career in Kansas City, said
in December that he felt he had
no future with the Chiefs.
Larry Johnson is a member
of the Kansas City Chiefs under
contract with the Kansas City
Chiefs, Moore said in an inter-
view with The Associated Press
on Wednesday night. Nothing
said about this matter has
changed that fact in any way.
During the past season,
Johnson was benched for three
games for violating team rules
and suspended by the league
for a fourth game for violating
NFL player conduct rules. He
also faces a March trial date
on charges that he pushed one
woman at a bar and spit drinks
at another woman.
Johnson said Wednesday he
was told he would get most the
carries when he signed a long-
term, $45 million deal with the
Chiefs before the 2007 season.
But he said he was unhappy
with his diminished role in the
shotgun offense.
Johnson also expressed concern
about his role as the Chiefs are
overhauled after going 2-23 in their
last 25 games.
Id rather just, you know, play
somewhere else, because like I said,
you know, this is a rebuilding team,
you know, and I dont really think
I belong in this rebuilding team,
Johnson said.
This is the way the league works,
you know. Ive done what Ive done
for Kansas City, and Im not getting
any younger and the team is getting
a lot younger, so Im not sure I fit in
the scheme of things.
Johnson is from State College,
Pa., and played football there at
Penn State. He said he would pre-
fer to play somewhere on the East
Coast so he could be closer to his
family.
But hed also like to play for
Dallas, he said, noting that his
mother is a Cowboys fan.
See, the stuf that
I have...we created
it...You cant get it
anywhere else.

Medley relay team unites, hopes for qualifying time
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
Iuliia Kuzhil, Cherkasy, Ukraine, sophomore, Danielle Herrmann, Itasca. Ill., senior, Ashley Leidigh, Merriamsenior, and Maria Mayrovich, Novorossiysk, Russia senior, practice their own strokes individually, then work out any
kinks during teampractice. The medley relay teamis trying to qualify for one of the 16 spots in the NCAA Swimming Championships in March.
BY HALLIE MANN
hmann@kansan.com
One minute and 38 seconds
is a short amount of time. For
the Kansas medley relay team, its
barely short enough. Sophomore
Iuliia Kuzhil and seniors Maria
Mayrovich, Danielle Herrmann
and Ashley Leidigh will have to
swim that time or better at the
Big 12 Championships if they
hope to qualify for the NCAA
Championships in March.
The medley relay is one of two
team events for Kansas. The relay
has four swimmers, each swim-
ming one of four strokes: butterfly,
backstroke, breaststroke and free-
style. This race is the first event
of any meet, and Herrmann said
it helps the team to get pumped
up early.
It would be awesome to start the
meet off with a win or to qualify for
NCAA, Herrmann said.
Herrmann and Leidigh have
been on the medley relay team
since their sophomore year. This
will be their last chance to qualify
for NCAA Championships. Leidigh
said the team aspect of the medley
relay was what made it more inter-
esting than other races.
Its more fun when youre swim-
ming for three other people and
not just for yourself, Leidigh said.
Practice doesnt always involve
the entire team. In fact, each swim-
mer practices her own event sepa-
rately.
They run the race as a team as
it gets closer to the meet. It may
seem strange for team members
to practice solo, but the strategy
is effective Kansas has won the
medley relay the last four out of
five times they raced in it.
Finding four swimmers who
excel at each stroke is hard, said
Mayrovich. Kansas lineup will
have to make individual perfor-
mance and team chemistry come
together to reach that 1:38 goal.
IULIIA KUZHIL,
bAcKStroKe
Coach Clark Campbell brought
Kuzhil from Cherkasy, Ukraine.
The youngest member of the team,
Kuzhil has only been in the United
States for five months. Kuzhil said
she had several options for univer-
sity study but decided on Kansas
after talking with the coaches.
They needed a backstroker so
thats what I worked on when I got
here, Kuzhil said.
Kuzhil is finishing her English
studies but doesnt know what she
wants to major in yet. After gradu-
ation, Kuzhil says she wants to
continue swimming and stay in
the United States.
dANIeLLe HerrMANN,
breAStStroKe
As much as Herrmann loves
swimming, she eventually wants
to work in a hospital as a pharma-
cist. Herrmann finished her PCAT
about an hour
before the medley
relay team opened
the meet against
South Dakota and
Northern Iowa
with a 12.31 sec-
ond victory.
Herrmann said
she thought she
might continue
swimming after
this year while she finished work-
ing on her pharmacy degree.
You can never look too far
ahead because everything can
change, Herrmann said.
When shes not swimming or
studying, Herrmann said, she
and her friends like to play Rock
Band or play basketball at the
Ambler Student Recreation Fitness
Center.
ASHLeY LeIdIGH,
bUtterfLY
Leidigh, the other veteran swim-
mer on the relay team, wants to
take a break from swimming after
college. Leidigh is
a journalism major
and wants to work in
the sports industry
after she finishes at
Kansas.
I dont want to do
anything right after
college, Leidigh
said, I thought
I might move to
Arizona with my
dad and just relax a bit.

MArIA MAYrovIcH,
freeStYLe
The Novorossiysk, Russia, senior
plans to keep swimming after col-
lege. Mayrovich said that after she
completes her degree in econom-
ics, she would like to train with
the team and swim on the national
swimming circuit. Mayrovich said
she knew that she was supposed to
come to Kansas when Campbell
contacted her.
I just felt like I had to get here.
I would still pick Kansas again if I
was given the choice, Mayrovich
said. Not every university has the
same level of confidence and spirit
as KU, Mayrovich said.
Mayrovich spends her little free
time talking to her friends back
home on Skype or Facebook. She
also enjoys reading inspiration-
al books and is reading Michael
Phelps book right now.
Its just really interesting to
read about other people who have
worked so hard and become so
successful, Mayrovich said.
Edited by Carly Halvorson
Individual and solo
practices prove to be
an effective strategy
Its more fun when
youre swimming for
three other people
and not just for
yourself.
