Basketball season has returned

Fans off all kinds share excitement for new season
BY RAY SEGEBRECHT
rsegebrecht@kansan.com More than 40 years have passed since the screaming voices of Terry and Marty Davis, class of 66, joined those of their fellow students in the student section in Allen Fieldhouse. They have seen some things change through the years, Marty said. Students never had to pay for tickets back then. They never had to camp out for seats either. But as the couple returned to campus for the mens basketball exhibition game against Fort Hays State, Terry said it all still had a familiar feel. While they drove from their home in Raytown, Mo., to Lawrence and re-entered Allen Fieldhouse, every ounce of old excitement they once felt as freshmen inside the arena returned in full force. When we were kids, we went to all the games, all the time, Terry said. It was different then, a little, but still pretty much raved fans. Terry said he thought the teams No. 1 preseason national ranking

Former professor dies at age 90

BY RAY SEGEBRECHT
rsegebrecht@kansan.com Author, economics professor and longtime friend of the University of Kansas, Harry Shaffer, died Tuesday. Shaffer taught for 53 years at the University before his age and health forced him to retire in the spring. Russ Ptack, an old friend of Shaffer Shaffer who played poker with him on Sunday, said breathing had become more difficult in his later life and likely contributed to his collapse yesterday at his home. His wife, Betty, was with him when he died. He has been on oxygen over the past year, Ptack said. It probably had something to do with a combination of old age and his ability to breathe becoming more and more difficult. Ptack said Shaffer was probably best known among students for his passion for teaching his Introductory Economics class. Shaffer celebrated his 90th birthday in August, Ptack said, by reading warm wishes from the nearly 700 students who had joined his Harry is the man! online Facebook page. He got a lot of joy from that, Ptack said. Edited by Jacob Muselmann

Groups try to end domestic violence Nursing students vie

BY JESSE RANGEL
jrangel@kansan.com When Thomas Medved walked by students passing out information in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall yesterday, he didnt expect there to be a voice advocating awareness for domestic violence a problem that affected some of his friends. Its important to spread the word about domestic violence, which is actually a huge problem, Medved, Overland Park senior, said. Its awesome that we have a visible stance on campus against it. And there are 10 campus groups who want to keep domestic violence awareness going. The groups, which include Delta Force, GaDuGi Safe Center and the Emily Taylor Womens Resource Center, are coming together this week to continue to work toward a goal state officials made in October: to raise awareness about domestic violence and how to do something about it. Along with the tables in front of Stauffer-Flint, the groups will sponsor three evening talks and presentations on domestic violence. Tanner Willbanks, Lawrence senior and coordinator for

Domestic Violence Awareness Week with Delta Force, said the groups wanted to hold the event in the first week of November, directly following Kansas domestic violence awareness month in October. Willbanks said they wanted to show that domestic violence affects people 365 days a year, not just in October. He said one in four women would be exposed to domestic violence at some point in their lives. But he also said men, children and even roommates could become victims.

debut (continued from 1A)
this season made the fanfare seem particularly ravenous. It was still pretty wild then, Terry said. It may have gotten even wilder. Among the new wave of freshman joining the fray of red and blue last night was Cody Janousek, Lawrence freshman, who donned an old Sasha Kaun jersey tee and a Kansas flag he flung around his neck as a cape. As long as the Jayhawks won, Janousek said, the flag would continue fly atop his shoulders for every game. I probably wont wash the cape, Janousek said. Ill keep the cape like this all season. Janousek said he had attended Kansas games on various occasions since he was 5 or 6 years old. But he said being able to one day join the ranks of the roaring student section had always been a goal of his. They all had the newspapers, waiting for the players to come out and they ripped it up and threw it. It looked like the coolest thing ever, he said. Grace Olson, Houston, Texas, freshman, said even though she wasnt raised in Lawrence, both of her parents attended the University and quickly turned her into an avid Jayhawks fan. She said she too remembered feeling frustrated one game when her brother, a student at the time,

I was just so jealous because he looked like he was having so much fun in the student section and I couldnt be there, Olson said. As excited as she felt anticipating the tip off she watched alongside her peers, Olson said she was preparing for an equally exciting and new experience at the next game. Olson is a freshman member of the KU cheer squad and attended the game with junior teammate Edneesha Bell, Lee Summit, Mo. She will return again with Bell in one week to lead her classmates during the mens basketball matchup with Pittsburg State on Nov. 10. Bell, her teammate, said though she loved the limelight of cheering and doing stunts on the floor, some moments in the stands were irreplaceable. My favorite is during the free throws, Bell said. They either do the wave or they do the popcorn. But Bell said no matter where she cheered from, she anticipated this years team would provide impressive results for its fans.

GOP rebuilds in Tuesday elections

By liZ sidoti
Associated Press WASHINGTON Independents who swept Barack Obama to a historic 2008 victory broke big for Republicans on Tuesday as the GOP wrested political control from Democrats in Virginia and New Jersey, a sign for the president and his party heading into an important midterm election year. Conservative Republican Bob McDonnells victory in the Virginia governors race over Democrat R. Creigh Deeds and Republican Chris Christies ouster of unpopular New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine was a double-barreled triumph for a party looking to rebuild after being booted from power in national elections in 2006 and 2008. Elsewhere on Tuesday, Maine voted on whether to affirm a state law that would allow same-sex couples to wed. If supporters prevail, it would mark the first time that the electorate in any state endorsed gay marriage. And Democrat Bill Owens captured a GOP-held vacant 23rd Congressional District seat in New York in a race that highlighted fissures in the Republican Party and illustrated hurdles the GOP could face in capitalizing on any voter discontent with Obama and Democrats next fall. California Lt. Gov. John Garamendi, also a Democrat, won a special election to a vacant congressional seat, Ohio voters approved casinos and other cities selected mayors, including New York, which gave Michael Bloomberg a third term. The outcomes of Virginia and New Jersey were sure to feed discussion about the state of the electorate, the status of the diverse coalition that sent Obama to the White House.

She said the table in front of Stauffer-Flint would feature a pledge students could sign that says they would not commit, condone or stay silent about domestic violence. Its very important that people experiencing domestic violence know that they have allies, Higgins said. They have allies and resources both at KU and in the Lawrence community. Willbanks said he wanted students to realize that this issue faces them, not people in some far-off region. I think everyone would agree that one in four women is a problem, Willbanks said.

The Center of Latin American Studies will play host to a free screening tonight of Senorita Extraviada, a documentary about the kidnapping, rape and murder of hundreds of women in Juarez, Mexico, since the early 90s. The screening starts at 7 p.m. in 4012 Wescoe Hall. Before the screening, Laura Herlihy, Latin American Studies lecturer, will talk about the film and the situation it depicts. This documentary is the second of four in the centers annual documentary series. Next Wednesday the center will show Zapatista, about the Zapatista movement against capitalism in Mexico. The following week brings Cowboy del Amor, a documentary comedy about a man arranging marriages between American men and Mexican women. Harry Swartz, Lawrence graduate student, said he hoped the film series would raise awareness about diverse issues. Were just trying to give more exposure to Latin American issues, Swartz said. And if we get more Latin American Studies majors out of it, that doesnt hurt either. All of these screenings are free and open to everyone.

Chiles U.N. Ambassador Heraldo Munoz, who chairs the U.N. Peacebuilding Commission which oversees the fund, praised Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and Julian Lennon for their decision to celebrate the uniting spirit of the universal anthem by contributing to global efforts to help countries through the difficult move from war to peace. Starting Tuesday, iTunes will exclusively offer the singles special anniversary single for download purchase, with new proceeds benefiting the U.N. Peacebuilding Fund through Dec. 31, he said. I am thrilled that so many in the music business are readily supporting Give Peace a Chance on its 40th anniversary, Ono said in a statement. It is indeed a time when we are all getting more aware of the necessity of doing something to achieve world peace, no matter how small. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I feel deeply that we are all one, regardless of where we stand, she said. Lennon and Ono wrote the song during their 1969 honeymoon bed-in protest against the Vietnam War and over the years it has become a popular peace anthem. Munoz told a news conference at U.N. headquarters that Lennons widow and sons, partnering with EMI Music and Sony/ATV Music Publishing, were making the first private donation to the U.N. Peacebuilding Fund, which has raised $315 million in voluntary donations.

ECm earns deserved recognition

ince 1959, the Ecumenical Christian Ministries has served as an on-campus haven for events, classes and the popular veggie lunch. After the buildings recent addition to the National Register of Historic Places, students should work to support the building as it seeks renovations and improvements. One of more than 80,000 properties listed on the Register, the ECM played host to luncheons, University club meetings, political meetings and religious group meetings. Campus Minister Thad Holcombe said the process to get the building on the Register was very thorough and required a lot of research. However, the buildings rich history justified the effort. Our building became the site for people to meet and feel like they were in a safe place, Holcombe said. Its very accessible, and its really a sacred place where people can look at where they are and where they are going. Even with the new distinction n n of being placed on the Register, the ECM has set its sights on new renovations to the building. The ECM has set a goal of raising $826,000 for various improvements to the buildings inner workings, which include the kitchen, parking lot and a broken

central air conditioning system. The ECM hopes to accomplish this in two phases of fundraising. Were currently in a quiet phase, or a point where we go out to talk to individuals about contributions, Holcombe said. Later well have things like major events, dinners, and benefit bands. Holcombe said he n thought the more active phase of fundraising would probably start in January. Approximately $230,000 has been pledged. Holcombe noted many students were looking to help out immediately with the fundraising, but the ECMs goal was to hold off on the larger events until the

quiet phase was complete. Though it has been in existence for only 50 years, the ECM has been a valuable piece of the University. Its addition to the Register proves that it will be around for a long time, and renovations are necessary to help the building become even more valuable than it already is. There will be many opportunities to help with fundraisers and donations, and the ECM will welcome all the assistance it can get. Students should duly note the buildings importance to the University, respect its history and become a part of its future. Brett Salsbury for The Kansan Editorial Board

Three questions for health care reform

to reach the Supreme Court involving pistol duels, death races and a trivia lighting round but this case would have a chance. What was really the crime here? What is so disorderly about the majesty of song? These youths merely wanted to lighten up the day of those poor souls in the fast food industry. All they got in return was American Fork, Utahs finest hunting them down and embarrassing them in front of their schoolmates. Apparently, if Osama bin Laden had performed a folk song about filet o fish at a Long John Silvers, we would have found him years ago. And why did the employees react so negatively? As a veteran of the restaurant industry, I can safely say that any impromptu performance by a customer, even if Id heard it before, would inspire me to laugh and enjoy it. Any break in the monotony of the average fast food shift would be a welcome respite, not a case of creating public fear, which is part of the definition of the law they apparently broke. Its almost as though people are addicted to being miserable. Rather than embracing these unique happenings, theres a tendency to be annoyed or even angered by people who simply want to do something different. We want people to stop making such a scene so we can continue hating our jobs and making it through the routine weve established. As long as they arent dangerous or genuinely disruptive, public displays of silliness should be not only tolerated, but accepted as a gift from people who are trying to brighten our day. So next time youre at work or walking to class and you see somebody do something wacky such as hand out fliers that say, Throw this away, dont just frown, put your head down and forge ahead. Stop for a second and smile. Save the 911 call for something less enjoyable. Nichols is a Stilwell junior in creative writing.

ast week, four Utah teens were given a police citation for rapping. You may be thinking to yourself, Of course rapping is illegal in Utah. Surprisingly, however, their crime was not the genre, but the venue. The rapscallions, mimicking a popular YouTube video that has already spawned a deluge of copycats over the years, performed the hip-hop classic Big Mac at a McDonalds drive-thru. When they repeated the rap rather than place an order, the manager came out and told them to knock it off. An employee apparently took down their license plate number as they left and police tracked them down at a high school volleyball game, according to CNN. com. They were cited for being disorderly in public as well as for being painfully unoriginal. (The latter citation was made by the Creativity Cops, who were out of their jurisdiction because they dont exist.) While many may dismiss this as a silly trifle of a story, I think there are deep, serious issues at play here. Free speech issues. I think these kids should take this First Amendment case all the way to the Supreme Court. I know its a long, complicated process

hen I attended T.R. Reids lecture on American health care reform two weeks ago, I expected to be part of a larger student crowd, engulfed in an intellectual mosh-pit of impassioned students both for and against reforming the health care system. Instead, I noticed that the majority of the auditorium was filled with stern-faced men and women more than 55 years old. KU students were scattered throughout the back of the crowd, displaced and overshadowed by the very real concerns of those whose health care has become part of their everyday lives. Most students are not very concerned with health care reform, let alone health care in general. We are typically young, healthy, carefree and reckless. We are not concerned with chronic disease, medical bills or even our own mortality. Why should we care about changing a system were not using? Students need to understand why there is a movement to reform our health care system if they are to make an educated decision about the reform itself. Instead of persuading you to support or oppose this round of American health care reform, I will present a semi-scientific method to better understand the situation, in the form of three questions that informed students should ask themselves.

SAI THE SCIENCE GUY

health insurance. Paradoxically, for those with good insurance and high incomes, American hospitals and doctors provide some of the best health care in the world. This difference between good health care and a good health care system is crucial in understanding reform.

To say that other universal health care systems around the world are simply socialized medicine is both a gross oversimplification as well as factually inaccurate. Although the United Kingdom has a universal health care system instituted by government-run hospitals and insurance companies, many more, such as Japan, have private hospitals and insurance companies. Japan spends only about 8 percent of its GDP on its universal health care system, and Japanese use their services much more than Americans. A reformed system could be socialized or privatized, and Americans need to look around the world for alternatives to our current system. Every health care system has its weaknesses, so the public must decide what should be valued in each system. The U.S. spends an enormous amount of money and doesnt offer a standard level health care to everyone. Other countries with universal health care coverage may have waiting lists, poor hospitals and decreased physician salaries, but which is the greater price to pay, especially when that price is both dollars and lives?

My family is from Taiwan and we fly there every other year to see our relatives. Because biking or driving across the Pacific definitely isnt an option, air travel is our only choice. To minimize our overall impact on the environment, we try to be more eco-friendly in other ways, such as using public transportation and eating locally. For those who are unable to stay with family while traveling, green accomodations for all budgets are becoming more widespread. For those who are traveling to an area without an eco-friendly hotel, there are a number of things you can do:

Bring your own toiletries in reusable containers. Refrain from buying new travel-sized toiletries to conserve the amount of plastic waste you produce. You dont have to sacrifice seeing the world to help the world, especially with all the green travel options now available. Janie Chen is a junior from Olathe.

America does not have the best health care system in the world. When the World Health Organization last ranked 191 heath systems in 2000, the U.S. came in 37th, between Slovenia and Costa Rica. The U.S. spends more than 15 percent of its GDP on health care, the greatest amount in the world. Most countries spend below 10 percent, and Germany and France only spend about 10 to 11 percent. High medical bills are the number one reason Americans are declaring bankruptcy. Our system has overlooked more than 35 million Americans who do not have

Ability to defend biggest concern

Collins can relate to challenge freshmen face in first season
By JAySON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com Four years ago senior guard Sherron Collins arrived in Lawrence as a highly touted prospect with a reputation for scoring. His ability to score, undoubtedly, was the reason Collins was so sought after by many schools. Defensively? Well, that rarely crossed his thought process. I wasnt asked to guard really, Collins said. I was just asked to score a lot. Collins, then, can relate to Kansas freshman corps a group that showed highlight-worthy flashes on offense but sometimes failed to match those performances on the defensive end. The ability to defend and the ability to do so consistently throughout the game is usually one of the biggest challenges college newcomers face. It was a lesson freshman Elijah Johnson quickly learned from coach Bill Self during his first series of collegiate practices. It was hard at first, Johnson said. Coach would yell at me every day at practice, and I wouldnt understand why. I was confused like, This has always worked. But now I see what he means. Theyll get you easily in college. In the moments after Kansas 107-68 exhibition victory against Fort Hays State, Collins easily and quickly pinpointed Kansas most glaring flaw in the otherwise lopsided game: a lack of consistent defense. Sure, Fort Hays State committed 21 turnovers and made just 34 percent of its shots. But the seasoned

Follow Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/ JaysonJenks. Collins insisted that the defensive performance was generally less than acceptable. The Jayhawks simply need to improve, he said. Defensively, weve got to get better, Collins said. As a whole and with some individuals, we have to learn how to guard the ball better. At halftime, despite Fort Hays State connecting on 30 percent of its attempts, Self entered Kansas locker room and told his players that their defensive effort simply wasnt good enough. Johnson said Self told the Jayhawks to turn up the intensity. Collins said he wouldnt repeat the entire version of Self s statements. Instead, he offered a paraphrased and most likely edited version of the coachs message. We werent guarding, point blank. Period, Collins said. We have to take pride in defending our home court. I think they scored too many points in the fieldhouse in the first half, and coach didnt like it. Indeed, Self wasnt thoroughly pleased with Kansas defense. But its early and there is certainly no reason for concern. Obviously, we dont guard yet, Self said. But we can improve on that. Much of the postgame attention centered on Johnson and fellow freshmen Xavier Henry and Thomas Robinson. And the trio certainly created a stir inside Allen Fieldhouse with three-point shots and highlight-worthy dunks. But Collins said that Kansas offensive potential only offers more reason for the Jayhawks to improve defensively. The biggest challenge is hunkering down and playing defense, Collins said. Weve got to play defense because were so talented from inside and outside that points are going to come from everywhere as you can see. Your head can spin until you get it. And the freshmen just dont get it yet. Edited by Anna Kathagnarath

and Cole Aldrich, it was good for those two to see they have teammates to ease their burden. Tonight, I didnt do as much as Ive always had to do, Collins said. We have so much talent to take pressure off of me. Collins led the team with 19 points, going three for six from three-point range in 27 minutes. Freshman guard Xavier Henrys debut came with a three-pointer 1:05 into the game. He finished with 14 points in 20 minutes. When under control, Henry looked dynamic.

Were a team that has a lot of expectations, not because we asked for it but because of the situation that were in. Collins has the same approach, even for an exhibition game. This game was not just an opportunity to fool around. Youve got to take every game seriously, he said. Every time you step on the court, you have to get better. Despite his teams effort, Self said he is going to work them a little harder in practice to get his team where it needs to be, especially on the defensive end. I feel like we should have been a little bit further along than what we are, he said, but we make the game harder than what it is because we dont share the basketball as well as what most of our teams have done in the past.

participate in a play-in game to decide the final spot in the tournament. So Kansas jumped on a plane early Sunday morning, flew to San Antonio, then defeated Texas Tech in a dramatic penalty kick shootout to advance to the Big 12 Tournament. Tonight, Kansas faces none other than Missouri for the second time in less than a week in the tournaments quarterfinal round. Oh yeah, its been a little crazy, coach Mark Francis said when asked if this was one of the strangest weeks hed seen as a coach. But whenever you get dealt a situation, you just have to make the most of it, and I thought the kids did a good job of that last night, he said. Last Friday, the Jayhawks edged the Tigers 3-2 in one of the most physical games of the year for the team. But that was in Lawrence against a Missouri team that had already clinched the regular season title and had little to play for besides its record. Tonight, its a true elimination game against Missouri, a team that had its undefeated season spoiled by the Jayhawks. Any time you beat a team, obviously theyre going to be extremely motivated the second time around. Itll definitely be tough, Francis said. Tonights game is also a repeat of last years Big 12 Tournament semifinal, when Missouri knocked off Kansas in another penalty kick shootout. But the Jayhawks can also draw confidence from last years tournament, as they pulled an upset over the No. 2 seed Texas A&M in the first round in 2008. Dolinsky said the team is fine with its similar underdog role this year. I think we just have to keep proving to ourselves and everyone else that were a good team and we could win this tournament, she said. Kansas was able to come back from a 1-0 deficit in the first minute to beat Missouri on Friday. After seeing what Missouris forwards are capable of, Francis said containing its potent offense will be his teams first priority. Defensively, weve got to minimize the opportunities that they have, he said. Kansas will also need to recover quickly from its taxing double overtime victory Monday. Francis said his team should be fine after nearly two days of laying low in San Antonio. Right now, the teams focus is relaxing and recuperating, according to Dolinsky. After a three-game unbeaten streak, the team has reason to feel confident. We just have to go out and compete like we did the last couple games, Dolinsky said, and well be all right.

Kansas set for Colorado match

Kansas is coming in with a 12-10 (4-8) record while Colorado is 6-16 (1-12) this season. Colorado is sitting in 10th place in the Big 12 conference and has won only one match against a last-place Texas Tech team in Big 12 play. Kansas gave Colorado its first Big 12 set victory the last time the two teams played. Junior libero Melissa Manda said Kansas played sloppier in the last match than the team would like. If we take care of what we need to do, we will be fine, Manda said. Colorado is still adjusting to its new coaching staff and has struggled throughout Big 12 play.

Bearcat QB better, but will sit out game

AssOciATed PRess
CINCINNATI Tony Pike had X-rays on Tuesday that showed his non-passing arm is healing nicely from surgery, another step toward getting him back to full practice with fourthranked Cincinnati. Pike expected to practice on Wednesday wearing a special splint instead of a bulky cast on the left forearm, which was injured during a game on Oct. 15 at South Florida. The senior quarterback has missed the last two games while the injury heals. Sophomore Zach Collaros led the Bearcats (8-0) to wins over Louisville and Syracuse, throwing for seven touchdowns during those two games. Hes likely to start on Saturday at home against Connecticut (4-4), when Cincinnati attempts to tie the school record for best start. Coach Brian Kelly said its possible that Pike could get into the game for a short time, but he would prefer waiting until hes capable of playing without limitations.

KU dominates Fort Hays State

Offense shines while defense could improve
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com The preseason is not made to make teams look pretty. The Jayhawks appeared to have the offense of a championship-caliber team defeating the Fort Hays State Tigers on Tuesday night in a packed Allen Fieldhouse. Their defense is another matter. You guys saw it, coach Bill Self said. We showed flashes where we looked pretty good, we showed stretches where we didnt look good at all. Sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor said Self s goal for the players for this game was to show him they could play defense. Despite this being an exhibition game, high standards remain for the Jayhawks. Taylor had 15 points and three turnovers a performance his coach called careless. Coach still expects things from us no matter who were playing, Taylor said. Several players tried to do too much with the ball, which resulted in 18 turnovers, and the Tigers had wide-open three-pointers available all night long. On paper, the defense and offense both looked great; Kansas shot 53.3 percent and held Fort Hays to 33.8 percent. The Jayhawks did impress their opposition. Fort Hays State coach Mark Johnson said he is confident Kansas will find a way to maximize its potential. I think that they have a lot of pieces to the puzzle, he said, and he will get them to play the way that he wants them to play, that is for sure. The most positive news came from the young stars.

Kansas prepares for rival rematch

BY JOEL PETTERSON
jpetterson@kansan.com San Antonio, Texas Calling the last six days wild for the Kansas soccer team would be a major understatement, to say the least. But all that matters now is that the team has a chance to compete in the Big 12 Tournament tonight against top-seeded Missouri. If we get to keep playing, thats all we can ask for, senior midfielder Monica Dolinsky said. On Friday morning, the Jayhawks postseason hopes looked slim. Kansas needed a victory against the top team in the Big 12 Conference, which happened to be Missouri, and help from two other conference games that night for a shot at advancing. But Friday afternoon, the Jayhawks pulled a 3-2 upset Follow Joel Petterson at twitter.com/ j_petter. against the Tigers. And Colorado defeated Texas Tech to give Kansas one of the results it needed. Then things got really nuts. Baylor tied Oklahoma to put Kansas, Texas Tech and Baylor in a three-way tie for the last two spots in the conference tournament. Friday night, the Big 12 ruled that Kansas and Baylor would advance to the tournament after a four-step tiebreaker. Less than 24 hours later, however, the conference changed its decision after Texas Tech disputed the tiebreaker. It ruled that Kansas and Texas Tech would

ome things havent changed. Sherron Collins still backpedals and claps after hitting pull-up three pointers. Cole Aldrichs lengthy free throw routine still causes lane violations. Tyshawn Taylors hands? Lightning quick as always. But there were a moderate amount of changes in Kansas 10768 exhibition victory against Fort Hays State on Tuesday, from the decisively less epic music in the pregame video to the new-schoolbut-still-awesomely-old-school layout of Allen Fieldhouse. But the only thing that truly matters is the changes on the court. It was our first true look at freshmen Xavier Henry, Elijah Johnson and Thomas Robinson. Its obvious that they still have a lot to work on, namely not fouling out like Henry and Robinson did, but their skill sets meshed well with the upperclassmen in their first real game in the fieldhouse. I think they handled it great, Collins said. Xavier Henrys first basket as a Jayhawk was a three-pointer, and his shooting touch from the wing will keep defenders from doubling down on Aldrich. Coach Bill Self said he thought Henrys NBA-ready body is even a bigger asset. Itll take a while to adjust to Taylor wearing number 10 and similarly sized Elijah Johnson wearing the number 15 Taylor sported last season. Their games are similar too. Johnson skied for an alley-oop from Taylor and the crowd went nuts. I think I could have got higher though, Johnson said. Thomas Robinson plays a lot like former Kansas big man Darnell Jackson. In Robinsons first second on the floor, he grabbed a rebound on a missed free throw and converted the put-back. Just 20 seconds later, he picked up his second foul. Like we all saw with the Morris twins last year, there are going to be ups with freshmen, and there are going to be downs. Robinson experienced them both Tuesday. Freshman C.J. Henry sat out with a bum knee, but he will provide more depth at guard. Is he better than Collins like his father Carl Henry claimed this summer? That remains to be seen. There are two major reasons why Kansas is ranked No. 1 in most preseason polls: the return of two preseason All-Americans and the talent of the incoming class. Collins and Aldrich have been around the block. Kansas Athletics might as well hand out box scores with 20 points for Collins and a double-double for Aldrich already written in. But the newcomers hold the key to this season. Two good players can take a team a long way, but if one or both have off nights, there need to be other guys ready to step up. Dont get discouraged by the newcomers shaky play early in the season. In the end, theyll determine if Kansas will play in April. Edited by Tim Burgess
