With its 400-pound frame, tight form
and compact two-cylinder engine, Jayhawk
Motorsports 2010 Formula SAE racecar is
built to go from zero to 60 in less than three
seconds, quicker than a Ferrari, with a top
speed of more than 100 mph.
Team leader Matt Petty, a senior from
Chanhassen, Minn., said everyone had an
opportunity to drive the car, but that many
would not want a second turn.
It scares the bejesus out of people, Petty
said. Its a powerful car.
BUILT TO WIN
Building the car was a year-long project.
The students, most of whom are seniors in
mechanical engineering and are using the
car as their senior design project, started
designing the car last fall. This semester
they started manufacturing the materials
and building the frame.
The students in Jayhawk Motorsports,
the Universitys Society of Automotive
Engineers organization, will race the car
at the Formula SAE competition in Detroit
next week and at a similar competition in
California in June. Petty said the University
was known for being a top school for
Formula SAE. Jayhawk Motorsports had
four top 10 finishes in the last five years,
he said.
The car has a carbon fiber frame that
makes it lighter than most formula cars.
Out of the 120 cars in the competition, all
but 10 would have a traditional steel frame,
Petty said. Carbon fiber makes Jayhawk
Motorsports car lighter and stiffer than
other cars, which makes it faster.
If someone wanted to buy this car on
the market, Petty said, it would cost about
$500,000 because of the materials and the
manpower used to build it. But with help
from the School of Engineering and local
organizations and businesses, the team has
only spent between $50,000 and $60,000
on the car.
Of the 39 students who have been work-
ing on the car, 19 are volunteers. Some
graduated in December but wanted to see
the car through to the end.
The team has been working around the
clock to get the car ready for the competi-
tion. Most of these students cant tell you
when they last had a full nights rest. Even
as finals approach, the students continue
to spend at least 60 hours a week on the
car. Some are even taking their finals early
because the competition is during finals
week.
RACING THE CLOCK
Empty coffee cups and cans of Red Bull
and Monster energy drinks littered the
teams shop in Learned Hall late Saturday
night. The team wanted the car running
and ready for its first test drive before 8 a.m.
Sunday. Petty said everyone in the shop had
probably slept one night in the last five days
but the energy drinks helped.
One time a Rockstar rep dropped off a
couple of cases, Petty said. It was the most

Budget cut
expected
to hike KU
tuition rate
BY EMILY MCCOY
emccoy@kansan.com
With a $37 million budget short-
fall, the University is searching for
ways to generate revenue. Admin-
istrators say this is why students
should expect another tuition hike
in the fall.
Our No. 1 responsibility is to
provide the highest quality educa-
tion, which, in some cases, requires
raising prices, said University
spokeswoman Lynn Bretz.
Bretz said although the Univer-
sitys tuition had increased every
year since the early 1980s, this year
students should expect a larger in-
crease.
A tuition increase would not
apply to current freshmen, sopho-
mores or juniors who are all pro-
tected by the Universitys Four-Year
Tuition Compact.
Incoming freshmen will also be
put on a four-year tuition compact,
but their rate could be much higher
than those in past years. Transfer
students and students entering a
ffh or higher year who are not
eligible for the compact would
see a tuition increase.
Even with a tuition increase, Bretz
said, its highly unlikely that any stu-
dent would be drastically afected.
Te University has worked very
hard not to price students out of a
KU degree, Bretz said.
In attempts to best protect stu-
dents from a tuition hike, the Uni-
versity is evaluating ways to save.
Bretz said 200 staf and faculty po-
sitions have been eliminated the
equivalent of three departments.
Additionally, staf and faculty are
facing an unprecedented second
year in a row without salary increas-
es. Administrators are also working
to increase operating efciencies
of buildings and encouraging staf
members to use less printer paper.
Tough the Universitys budget
has been reduced back to its 2006
level, Bretz said the University was
still doing comparatively well. Te

KJHK moves from Te Shack
to third foor of Kansas Union
Mia Iverson / KANSAN
The unfnished production studio at KJHKs newlocation on the third foor of the Kansas Union will be up and running by 1 p.m. today for its frst
broadcast. Opening ceremonies will be from3 to 5 p.m.
BY KIRSTEN KWON
kkwon@kansan.com
Since 1975, the student-run radio
station KJHK has called the small
run-down building on 11th Street
home. Today marks the first broad-
cast from the stations new studios
on the third floor of the Kansas
Union.
The Shack, as it is fondly
referred to, has been replaced with
a state-of-the-art studio complete
with new equipment and a new
outlook for KJHKs future.
Alex Kane, special programs DJ
and a senior from Kansas City, Kan.,
said he thought the move would
gain student attention, as the stu-
dios are relocating to a high-traffic
area.
Most people dont know what
The Shack is, Kane said. I think
this will initiate a new vibe, and it
will be easier for the staff to pro-
mote and get the word out there.
Tom Johnson, general manager
and program adviser, said that the
move already sparked student inter-
est. KJHK hosted several events
leading up to the move, and it saw
good student turnout.
In 2004, the University mandated
the station to move its studios to the
Union because the previous location
didnt meet codes of the Americans
with Disabilities Act. The building
was not handicap-accessible, and
the station had the choice of either
renovating the old studio or creat-
ing a new one.
Logan Nickels, station manager
and senior from Stillwater, Okla.,
said that the choice was easily made
when comparing the expenses of
renovation with those of building
an entirely new studio. It cost only
slightly more to build a new home
for KJHK. Still, he said broadcasting

Ofcers discuss
summer agenda
After most students leave
for the summer, Student Body
President Michael Wade Smith,
Vice President Megan Ritter
and several members of the
Student Senate Executive Com-
mittee will continue working
on campus issues.
Smith said one of the frst
issues he had already started
on was his graduate campaign
platform to create a position
on the executive staf for a
graduate student. He said that
he met with the Graduate &
Professional Association and
the Graduate Student Execu-
tive Committee and that he
thought the platform could be
completed during the summer.
KUniteds sustainability plat-
form will also be addressed this
summer. Smith said one of the
coalitions specifc goals was for
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
Little to sign the American
College & University Presidents
Climate Commitment.
He said he wasnt sure
whether it would happen this
summer, but if it did, a formal
signing ceremony would be in
the fall.
I think that could be some-
thing big and a statement we
make publicly as senate and as
a university,Smith said.
Smith said other issues he
and the executive staf would
be working on were the Wes-
coe Underground expansion
and a more comprehensive
plan for new senator training.

Tour explores KU
architecture
Ted Johnson, a professor of
French and humanities, will
lead his annual Stop Day tour
of campus, which he has con-
ducted since the early 1990s.
Johnson said campus ofers
wonders in art and architecture
that some might overlook.
Over the years in my difer-
ent French classes and human-
ity classes, I used campus as
part of my teaching,Johnson
said. They had a chance to
talk about real works and real
space, and the kids loved it.
Johnson said the free walk-
ing tour was a way to experi-
ence how the campus inter-
related with art and culture.
The tour will begin tomor-
row at 9 a.m. in front of the Nat-
ural History Museum, located
just to the south of the Kansas
Union on Jayhawk Boulevard.

Starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, KU
Environs local food committee will
be in front of Checkers Food, 2300
Louisiana St., to test out a brochure
designed to help customers locate
local foods in grocery stores.
Kim Sherman, a sophomore from
Eudora, started the project about
three months ago when she noticed
how much local food Checkers
stocks but doesnt promote.
I was really surprised and
glad that they had these options,
Sherman said.
She said the goal of the group
was to introduce the community to
local foods.
The brochure lists all of the local
foods Checkers offers and lists what
aisle they can be found on. Sherman
said she also created a label for
Checkers to mark the local items.
Other stores in Lawrence already
have local foods labeled and have
noticed it made a difference in cus-
tomers product choice.
The Community Mercantile, 901
Iowa St., began labeling the local
foods about four years ago.
David Smith, communications
coordinator at The Merc, said many
of The Mercs customers were curi-
ous where their food came from
and how far it traveled. He said
labels helped customers identify
local products.
Smith said that The Merc carried
more than 600 local food items
and that last year more $2 million
worth of local food was sold.
Hy-Vee also labels its local
foods. Andrew Yochum, store
director for the location at 3504
Clinton Parkway, said he began
putting a sign up to mark the local
foods from the Kansas City area
to Manhattan three months ago.
Yochum said he noticed people
were more likely to buy a product
when they knew it was local.
Bailey Olsen, a sophomore from
Overland Park, said she tried to
buy local food whenever possible.
She began searching places for local
food after reading Michael Pollans
book, The Omnivores Dilemma:
The Secrets Behind What You Eat,
in her Introduction to Sociology
class last spring.
Olsen said the book opened her
eyes to how the food she was eat-
ing wasnt economically or environ-
mentally sustainable.
So I started looking for local
foods, and in Lawrence, its really
great because they are really all
over the place, Olsen said. Its an
important part of being a member
of the community.
Mike Smith, manager of
Checkers, said that he was excited
about this project and that he was
looking forward to Saturdays trial
run of the brochure.
I think its a good avenue of
advertising local growers and local
merchants, Smith said.

Jayhawker Yearbook
for sale at the Union
the Jayhawker yearbook,
which covers the 2009-2010
academic year, will be available
for purchase for $10 Friday in
the Kansas union. the yearbook
can also be purchased online at
kansansales.com.
In recent years, the yearbook
has gone to press too late for
publication. KJhK, the student-
run radio station, produced the
Jayhawker in the past, but it is
now a university daily Kansan
product.
Its a lot of stories that you
wouldnt necessarily get to read
otherwise, said Brenna hawley,
editor of the Jayhawker. Its the
year in review and has pieces of
Ku that sometimes get missed.
hawley, a senior from Salina,
said the book covered big events
on campus, profles on favor-
ite professors, academics and
athletics with several photos to
accompany the stories. Feature
stories include the Potter Lake
clean-up project, unique student
experiences and the football and
basketball seasons.
the yearbook contains 148
pages including the cover.

productive week youve ever seen.
Faisal Al-Madini, a senior
from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, said
hed been in the shop about 10
or 12 hours every day last week.
Saturday, however, was a differ-
ent story. Al-Madini arrived at the
shop at 7:30 that morning, but he
was still there at 4:30 a.m. Sunday
clocking 21 hours of work on
the project.
After sleepless nights and over-
night stays in the shop, Al-Madini
said he was excited about finishing
the car.
When you build something
from scratch and see it all put
together, its awesome, Al-Madini
said.
Anna Langley, a senior from
Overland Park, isnt working on
the car, but said she spent a lot of
time in the shop anyway it was
the only way she got to see her
boyfriend, Stephen Hinton. At 3:30
a.m. Sunday, Langley was still wait-
ing around to see if the car would
be ready to run in the next couple
of hours.
I want to see the thing run, she
said. Its been the other woman in
his life for the last year.
Langley said she and Hinton had
a habit of texting each other before
going to bed. One morning she
woke up and didnt have a text
from him. She was angry until she
figured out the reason.
I realized he never went to bed,
Langley said.
Behind a whiteboard covered
with task lists for each of the three
sub-teams, theres an armchair
where someone occasionally takes
a five-minute nap before rejoin-
ing the group. Up to a dozen team
members surround the car at any
time, each with his own job to do.
Although theyre tired, they know
what theyre doing, and they dont
get in each others way.
Al-Madini said it got crowded
with so many people working on
the car simultaneously, but having
such a large team working together
was a good thing.
If you screw up, someone can
fix it, he said.
At least a dozen people stayed
all night Saturday and into Sunday
morning. Despite their efforts, the
team members decided at 4:30 a.m.
that they wouldnt be able to take
the car for a test drive that morn-
ing. They had to get the car ready
for its unveiling that afternoon at
Abe and Jakes.
RAcING THE cAR
The formula car has dominat-
ed these students lives for a year.
Now they hope it will dominate the
competition.
Hinton, a senior from Overland
Park, said the team members sacri-
ficed a lot to spend this much time
working on the for-
mula car.
Gi r l f r i e nds ,
friends, family
everything takes a
hit, he said. You
have to try to keep
it all together.
He said the most
dedicated people
on the team tried to
spend as much time
as possible in the
shop because they
wanted to make sure everything
on the car was done right. He said
building the car was an opportu-
nity to use everything they learned
in mechanical engineering classes
and gave them an opportunity to
see what their careers would be
like.
After the cars first test drive
early Tuesday morning, the team
spent the rest of the day tuning
it up for its next test. Hinton said
because it was built for racing, the
car didnt have many parts that
could break without causing a big
problem.
We want any problems were
going to have to surface now, he
said. What you do can mean the
difference between success and
failure, life and death maybe.
The team will spend the rest of
this week taking the car through
its paces in preparation for the
competition, where the car will
undergo static tests analyzing its
cost and design, as well as dynamic
tests of the cars drag racing and
autocross capabilities.
The car runs on E85, which
gives it an upper hand as a race
car. Because the students built the
engine, they can tune it to lower
the fuel conversion ratio so the car
goes faster. The cars gas tank holds
about two gallons, so it can run for
about 30 minutes of hard racing
before it has to be filled up again.
Tim McClintock, a senior from
Council Grove,
said the cars
engine required
lots of tune-ups
and would need
to be rebuilt
every 5,000 miles.
Before it was put
into the car, he
said, it required
about five hours
of work for every
five minutes of
running it.
When something goes wrong, it
can go wrong quickly, McClintock
said.
And the team doesnt want any-
thing to go wrong in the coming
days.
The students will pack their fast-
er-than-a-Ferrari car in a trailer
Monday and then head to Detroit
for the competition, hoping to
come back with an award for their
efforts.

from a new place would take
some getting used to.
With The Shack, theres a
homey feel to it, with graffiti all
over the wall and having been
there for 34 years, Nickels said.
It will take some transitioning,
but its leaving one home for
another and making this our
home.
With old age, The Shacks
equipment started to break
down. Kane said that certain
pieces, like turntables, need-
ed to be replaced every three
weeks. The new studio will
include all modern equipment
and more advanced hardware
and software than KJHK pre-
viously owned. Kane said he
hoped the new studio would
deliver improved broadcasts.
I think its a long time over-
due, Kane said. It makes our
jobs easier, and itll make the
quality of the broadcast better
on air for the listeners.
Although KJHK usually
broadcasts 24/7, the staff admit-
ted there could be some lag
time because of the move that
the staff aims for no longer than
30 minutes off the air. The last
time KJHK couldnt produce
a constant broadcast was four
years ago during a microburst.
The move will happen this
afternoon with all necessary
systems up by 1 p.m.
KJHK will use high-quality
phone lines that travel from
the Kansas Union to Memorial
Stadium and finally to the trans-
mitter. Nickels said that the wire
transfer wouldnt be difficult.
Its a little bit complicated
but essentially, when we give
the signal, they will pull out the
wire from The Shack and the
wire from the Union and switch
them, he said.
The station will celebrate
the actual move of the studios
today in the Kansas Union with
an open house. Friday has been
officially declared KJHK Day by
the city of Lawrence.

We are asking legislators to con-

Franklin Fantini, a senior fromLawrence, browses through records at Love Garden Sounds, 822 Massachusetts St. Store Manager Kelly Corcoran said
vinyl records accounts for about 60 percent of the stores sales.
Despite iPods, some listeners
still prefer the sound of vinyl
BY NANCY WOLENS
nwolens@kansan.com
Brian Sears swiftly, yet meticu-
lously, flips through his collection
of vinyl records trying to find the
perfect song. His eyes widen as he
spots it. Literally on the edge of
his seat, he slowly slides the 7-inch
45-rpm record from its sleeve.
He is so excited he can barely
complete his sentences.
This one. This is a record that
I was just going crazy over, said
Sears, a senior from Lawrence.
Sears smiles as the funk and soul
rip through the speakers. His feet
compulsively tap to the persistent
beat of the now antiquated soul
classic.
Sears, who frequently deejays at
the Eighth Street Tap Room, is a
devoted music lover obsessed with
the history and rarity of records,
specifically soul and funk singles.
Music mediums today are end-
less and each from CDs to MP3s
tries to top the other. But the
digital music age isnt preventing
people such as Sears from relishing
in vinyl record.
Theres so much music out
there that has never really seen the
light of day, and I want to experi-
ence hearing the greatest song ever
all the time, Sears said. Its a true
natural high for me, and if I want
it, Ill try and get it no matter how
hard it is.
Each of Sears records are from
artists all over the country. He
looks through his box of records,
pulling out a few one by one.
The artists whose records he
collects never earned much from
their record sales, and if they did,
it was very minimal, he said.
Its America. This is Ohio. This
is fucking St. Louis. This is Detroit.
This is New York it just goes on
and on, Sears said.
FoR THE RECoRD
Steve Wilson, manager at
Kief s Downtown Music, 823
Massachusetts St., said he had seen
an incremental increase in vinyl
sales during the past few years.
Used records are more profit-
able then just about anything else
were doing right
now, Wilson said.
Its not just turning
dollars over. It keeps
businesses in busi-
ness.
Wilson said
vinyl accounted for
about 20 percent
of the stores sales.
Generally, records
at Kief s are in high
demand because
the store can easily
acquire them.
Wilson said he sometimes found
himself downloading albums. But
burning an album to a CD and
writing its title with a sharpie on
the disc isnt the same as having
the real thing.
People are yearning for some-
thing tactile, and while a CD rep-
resents that to a limited extent,
vinyl represents that to a greater
extent, he said.
Kelly Corcoran, manager at Love
Garden Sounds, 822 Massachusetts
St., said for the most part his cus-
tomers were there for the music.
Corcoran keeps it simple. People
like music. They like records. They
come in and browse. And if theyre
interested and if the price is right,
theyll buy one to add to their col-
lection.
Its the ceremony thats the big-
ger deal with records, Corcoran
said. There are very few things
that seem like magic. A needle in
the groove of a record seems like a
magic trick.
Corcoran said about 60 percent
of Love Gardens sales were from
vinyl. The store usually stocks
10,000 to 12,000 records and only
3,000 to 4,000 CDs, Corcoran
said.
It makes whatever culture or
piece of art that you care about
seem real and tangible in a world
thats filled with the mess of infor-
mation that you constantly get,
Corcoran said.
Much of the
inventory at Kief s
and Love Garden
Sounds is the
result of people
cleaning out base-
ments or storage
areas and dis-
covering their or
their parents old
records.
Its kind of like
mining for gold,
Wilson said. If
someone brings in 300 records,
chances are 280 of them are crap.
There might be 15 that are pretty
cool, three that are great and two
that are amazing.
PIECE oF HISToRY
Ilan Gitter, a Lawrence resi-
dent and avid vinyl collector from
Chicago, said he enjoyed having
the authenticity of a vinyl record
and knowing its related history.
Those are what was actually
played in peoples houses in the
60s and 70s, Ilan said. Its a little
time capsule.
Gitter said listening to vinyl was
an event. People are enthralled in
what theyre hearing instead of just
turning on an iPod and listening to
songs in the background.
Sears has spent more than $200
on one 45 album a handful of
times. The records he owns all vary
in value from $50 to $500, and he
estimated his collection was worth
$6,000 to $7,000. But he isnt inter-
ested in that.
Its not about the money its
about the music, Sears said. Its
like the truest form of American
music. Its history.

Students to open hot dog cart this fall
BY ANNA ARCHIBALD
aarchibald@kansan.com
Six months ago, opening a food
cart downtown seemed like a near
impossibility for Jason Mandel and
Justin Sharkan.
But now the time restriction and
various other roadblocks, including
safety and rent, standing between
them and Last Stop Snack Shop,
are in the past.
Last Tuesday, their petition to
have a hot dog cart open downtown
until 2:30 a.m. finally got the City
Commissions approval. Mandel and
Sharkan, both sophomores from
Wilmette, Ill., plan to have the food
cart open by the beginning of Hawk
Week, Aug. 16, when students are
moving back to Lawrence and resi-
dence halls open up again.
Its been a long road, and hope-
fully it will work once we open it up,
Mandel said. We initially wanted to
try to have it open a couple nights
before the end of finals, but both
of us arent going to be in Lawrence
this summer.
Mandel and Sharkan estimated it
would cost more than $4,000 to get
the food cart up and running, which
includes getting their health code
license and fire department inspec-
tion of the cart.
Mandel said they are funding the
project with money from their own
pockets.
They arent sure how much they
will initially have to spend on food,
but they plan to use the first couple
weeks of operation as a trial period.
He projected all of the food will
cost $5 or less $1 for chips and
water and will include hot dogs,
hamburgers, walking tacos and
grilled cheese sandwiches.
We want the food to be as fresh
as possible, Mandel said. It could
be more or it could be less, but the
majority will be in that range.
Their food cart will be similar to
the one located on Wescoe Beach
during the school year.
Sara Beth McGlasson, a senior
from Topeka, said she typically ate
at the food cart on Wescoe Beach
when its open and that shes excited
about the possibility of one opening
downtown.
I usually get a hot dog and chips.
Its simple, easy and cheap, she said.
It will be really nice to have once the
bars close, and you need to unwind
but arent ready to go home.
McGlasson said she thought a
food cart that made pancakes and
breakfast food would be ultimate
but thought that this idea was good,
nonetheless.
City Commissioner Mike Dever
said he has concerns about large
crowds forming around the food
cart.
I do worry about the congrega-
tions and people hanging around,
Dever said. But the extension of
time for me is simply serving a
niche, and theyve certainly done a
good job.
At the meeting, the two sopho-
mores addressed safety concerns
and rent standing in the way of ini-
tiating Last Stop Snack Shop.
The original idea to have the
stand located at Sixth and New
Hampshire streets was denied at
the commission meeting because of
safety and vandalism concerns from
business owners in the area.
Most of the trouble that hap-
pens downtown late at night is out-
side of a bar, said Jane Pennington,
executive director of Downtown
Lawrence, Inc. If there is congrega-
tion outside of this place, there is the
potential to cause problems.
The stand will be located on
one of the corners of Tenth and
Massachusetts Streets. Mandel said
once they bought their permit from
the city , they would have to specify
which corner they want.
Despite concerns from
Pennington and local business
owners, the commission was overall
supportive of the students effort to
open the food cart.
I appreciate your entrepreneur-
ial spirit, Commissioner Lance
Johnson said during the meeting.
Id be willing to give it a try.
Because of the expense and hassle
of starting a business, Mandel said
he didnt think competition from
other students would be a big issue,
either.
You have to be up all night, and
there are taxes and big legal prob-
lems you could run into, he said.
Its a lot of work besides standing
out and selling hot dogs.

Donor drive will save lives, challenge myths
BY SAMANTHA FOSTER
sfoster@kansan.com
Todays bone marrow donor drive will be the first on
campus. Leslie Hall, a junior from Paola and organizer
of the bone marrow donor drive, said people have
many misconceptions about the event.
Julie Thomas, a sophomore from Albuquerque,
N.M., who helped organize the event, said people often
let fear keep them from realizing how important it is.
The bigger part of it that people dont see is that it
could be saving someones life, Thomas said.
Bone marrow is usually used to treat patients with
leukemia, a cancer of the blood or bone.

WHEN: 8 a.m. to 3

WHERE: Fourth
foor, Kansas union
MYTH #1:
BoNE MARRoW MATcHES
ARE EASY To fIND
Event organizers will do cheek
swabs for people who want to join the
donor registry. the registry is a data-
base of possible donors that doctors
check to fnd matches for patients who
need bone marrow.
hall said it was important for people
to be on the registry because so few
matches are found for people who
need bone marrow transplants. She
said only four out of 10 people who
need a transplant ever fnd a match.
We want to add more and more
people to the registry so there are
more and more chances to match with
someone, hall said.
MYTH #2:
IT WoNT MATTER If I
cHANgE MY MIND
unlike blood donation, hall
said, being able to donate
bone marrow depends on your
individual genes. doctors look
for matches among family
members frst, but if that fails
the registry is the only option.
the worst thing that can
happen is if you get matched to
someone and the person backs
out, she said. thats pretty
horrible.
hall said people who register
need to know that theyre mak-
ing a commitment.
MYTH #3:
DoNATINg BoNE
MARRoW IS PAINfUL
hall said this was the most
common myth about donating.
hall said 80 percent of the time
the process only involves the
donors blood. Blood is taken
out, marrow is fltered out of the
blood and the blood is put back
in. It is no more painful than a
blood donation. the other 20
percent of donations take mar-
row out of the hip bone.
It hurts about as much as if
you fall on a patch of ice and
your butts sore for a few days,
hall said.
hall said hip bone marrow
was used for children under 12.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The
blazing fiddles and screaming gui-
tars at Nashvilles famed down-
town honky-tonks are a little qui-
eter as the city recovers from flash
flooding and storms blamed for at
least 29 deaths in three states.
Elsewhere in Nashville, the
Country Music Hall of Fame has
closed and the Grand Ole Opry
the most famous country music
show in the world had to move
its performances.
The Cumberland River, which
winds through the heart of the city,
spilled over its banks as Nashville
received more than 13 inches of
pounding rain over the weekend.
The flash floods were blamed in
the deaths of at least 18 people in
Tennessee alone, including nine in
Nashville. Other deaths from the
weekend storms were reported in
Kentucky and Mississippi.
None of the deaths were in the
citys entertainment district, a
five-block square of honky-tonks
and restaurants downtown where
animated barkers often stand out-
side at night encouraging patrons
to step inside. But some businesses
had to shut down a blow to
Nashvilles economy and reputa-
tion as a freewheeling town. The
city has more than 11 million visi-
tors annually.
On Tuesday, residents who
had frantically fled their homes
returned to find mud-caked floors
and soggy furniture.
The National Weather Service
office in Nashville said Wednesday
that the water level in the city had
fallen about three feet from its
crest of 12 feet above flood stage
on Sunday night.
The water at the Country Music
Hall of Fame was mostly confined
to a mechanical room and did not
get in the exhibit area where 112 of
countrys greatest stars are chroni-
cled in down-home tributes.
At the Opry, five miles northeast
of the entertainment district, per-
former Marty Stuart said he feared
water had destroyed instruments,
costumes, audio tapes, boots and
just everything
that goes along
with the Opry and
Opry stars.
Singer Chris
Young said a spe-
cial Opry show
Tuesday night at
the War Memorial
Auditorium was a
welcome diversion
for many residents. Hundreds of
people turned out.
A lot of people coming here
have lost either their houses, their
possessions or their cars in the
storm, he said.
Gaylord Entertainment CEO
Colin Reed says it will be at least
three months before the massive
entertainment complex that also
includes the Opryland Hotel and
the Opry Mills Mall has guests
again.
Rita Helms, a customer ser-
vice representative at the Opry,
said some workers have been dis-
traught.
Its very sad for the employ-
ees and a few have even been
in tears, she said.
One of the downtown hon-
ky-tonks still open is Roberts
Western World Nashvilles
undisputed home of traditional
country music as it proclaims on
its website.
Theres not much that can
shut us down, bartender Sammy
Barrett said in a telephone inter-
view as country music blared in
the background.
The entertainment district is
generally filled with a mix of
tourists and locals all out for
a hand-clapping
good time. Some
people still milled
around the area
Tuesday.
They like
the vibe they get
here, said Jimmy
Hill, who works
for a downtown
bar and a restau-
rant. The bands start playing at
10 in the morning; you dont have
things like that in every town.
The water swelled most of
the areas lakes, minor rivers,
creeks, streams and drainage sys-
tems far beyond capacity. Much
of that water then drained into
the Cumberland, which snakes
through Nashville.
The weekends storms that
spawned tornadoes along with
flash flooding also killed six
people in Mississippi and four
in Kentucky. One person was
killed by a tornado in western
Tennessee.

LOS ANGELES Like the sub-
title of his next Pirates of the
Caribbean movie, producer Jerry
Bruckheimer has found himself
on stranger tides at Disney.
Under new studio Chairman
Rich Ross, Disney is tacking in a
new direction, bringing more fis-
cal restraint to its movies.
Such pressures have come to
bear even on Hollywoods most
influential filmmakers, who are
being reined in despite successful
track records.
Everyone is being asked to be
more cost-conscious, said Cowen
& Co. media analyst Doug Creutz.
Bruckheimers next produc-
tion, Pirates of the Caribbean:
On Stranger Tides dramatically
illustrates the new reality.
With the fourth install-
ment of the swashbuckling tale
poised to start shooting June 14,
Bruckheimer and the filmmakers
are scrambling to meet the more
constrained budget that Disney is
imposing. Although its still large
north of $200 million it is
at least a third less than the last
Pirates movie.
In discussing the script for the
fourth Pirates film, screenwrit-
ers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio
were told that Johnny Depps Jack
Sparrow character would spend
more time on land than water
because of the high cost of shoot-
ing on the high seas.
The number of shooting days
scheduled is 90 to 95, down from
142 on the last movie. Similarly,
there are expected to be 1,300 to
1,400 visual effects shots, com-
pared with 2,000.

ummer: the days get lon-
ger, the shorts get shorter.
With so much skin on dis-
play, it is human nature to make
comparisons, judgments and
assumptions.
Looking to others appear-
ances leads to one of two results:
Either we feel somehow
validated, as if clothes, body
or hairstyles make us better.
Or, we feel inadequate. In both
cases, there is always a loser.
How about making a vow to
revive summer to the carefree,
comfortable season that it should
be? Theoretically, doing this
would be simple enough. Just
stop obsessing and stressing
about appearances.
In actuality, it is a lot easier
said than done. Society rewards
superficial characteristics.
Magazines, movies and TV
screens continue to feature tradi-
tional beauties at the forefront.
There has been a modest revo-
lution to overhaul Americas pre-
occupation with physical looks.
Shows such as Ugly Betty
and movies including Bridget

all promote alternative beauty.
Nonetheless, these examples are
still exceptions to the rule.
For better or worse, a desire
to attain perfection (or the next
best thing) trickles down from
Hollywood. Even the sidewalks
of Mass. Street can begin to feel
like the catwalks of New York.
All is not lost. It may be
impossible to fully escape the
glare of media, but its not
impossible to diminish its effects
on our lives.
This all starts with being less
self-critical. All too often, we
set double standards for how we
value others versus how we value
ourselves. How absurd does it
seem to think of friends purely
in terms of fat, short or big-
nosed?
So then, why do we allow our-
selves to judge our own bodies
in these ways?
This summer, free from the
stress of school, spend time
focusing on non-superficial
things you enjoy. Instead of
cooling off from the heat by
roaming a mall, surrounded by
photoshopped smiles of models,
go to a local pool.
Before automatically dis-
missing this idea as crazyI
can already hear the, Put on
a swimsuit? Yeah right! com-
mentsuse this as an opportu-
nity to deemphasize appearance.
Just because someone is smaller,
tanner or more fill-in-the-blank
doesnt mean they are having a
better time.
Believe it or not, everyone has
insecurities. Kate Beckinsale,
Esquire magazine Sexiest
Woman Alive nominee, said
in a 2009 interview, Ive always
had doubts about my looks.
Most women have body issues,
and Im no different.
If feeling good about ourselves
were as simple as popping a pill,
there would be constant lines
weaving out of pharmacies. If
we could stop judging other
people just by wearing filtered
glasses, optometrists would be
booked for months. Alas, as
with most everything in life,
there is no magic cure to body-
anxiety.
No one is perfect. No one is
always happy. No one is always
beautiful.
Still, we can be the best pos-
sible versions of ourselves. We
can be happy when were happy,
and know that it is also accept-
able to have bad days. We can
smile, hold our heads high and
walk with pride.
Its summertime. Let your
confidence shine.

Cut double standards
to improve confdence
Standards dont mean cynicism
W
ith the spring semester
rapidly ending, students
are already looking
forward to the free time of sum-
mer. Some may choose to venture
off. Others may stay in Lawrence,
strolling Mass Street and soaking
up the Kansas sun.
Either way, it is important to
stay informed and opinionated on
various issues during this summer
vacation.
Before we all break for the sea-
son, we should all stay familiarized
with these topics:
WiLLiAMs eduCATiOnAL
Fund
Rodney Jones, assistant athlet-
ics director for the Williams Fund
and Ben Kirkland, the head of
fundraising for Kansas Athletics
and the associate athletic director
for development, both resigned
amid federal internal investigations
regarding the illegal sales of mens
basketball tickets.
Lew Perkins, KU athletic direc-
tor, originally suspended Jones
in March and confirmed plans to
conduct an internal review of the
Williams Fund, as well as the ticket
office. There has been speculation
that there may be more personnel
changes within the KU athletic
department before the summer
ends.
THe uniVersiTys AnnuAL
BudGeT
Every September, the University
sends an annual budget request
to the Kansas legislature. The
governor then makes budgetary
recommendations for the fiscal
year. During this time of year, the
University prepares its advised
tuition rates for the upcoming aca-
demic year and they are sent to the
Board of Regents.
The budget office then works
with other departments within the
University to form a budget for
the upcoming year. The budget
will be released no later than July,
and students should pay particular
attention to funding distribution,
because of possible changes in
tuition rates, cuts to various pro-
grams and cuts to University staff.
2010 nBA drAFT
In the high-stakes arena that is
college basketball, three Kansas Jay-
hawks opted to take a leap and enter
the 2010 NBA Draf. Once the NBA
fnals commence, the 2010 NBA
Draf will be June 24 to see Cole Al-
drich, junior center, Xavier Henry,
freshman guard, and Sherron Col-
lins, senior guard, await their fate.
neW OVerdrAFT POLiCy
Starting on July 1, banks will
be limited in charging customers
overdraft fees on ATMs or one-
time debit card transactions, unless
the customers give consent to be
enrolled in an overdraft protection
service.
Once the policy is put into
effect, debit cards will be denied
if there are insufficient funds, but
if a customer decides to opt-in to
the overdraft service, then they
will continue to be charged a fee
for every overdraft transaction.
Students need to contact their
banks and decide whether they
want to receive overdraft protection
or not.
Ku FOOTBALL
Students should pay attention to
new head coach, Turner Gill. With
the loss of several key players, this
upcoming season will be about
rebuilding. According to Gill, the
position of quarterback is still up
for grabs and most likely wont be
determined until fall camp. Stay
tuned to see the progress this team
will make.
Thats it for this semesters edito-
rial board. Everyone stay safe and
stay opinionated.

I
received an interesting reader
response to one of my recent
columns. In summary, the
commenter said chivalry was an
ancient concept. He said that,
anymore, it was meant for women
more deserving than myself I
would be much happier if I stopped
chasing such high expectations.
So, let me follow this logic:
Medieval Age-women, born
into lives of wealth and luxury,
certainly deserve the respect of a
worthy male. However, the hard-
working, motivated women of
today dont deserve a respectful
gentleman.
Please.
That wasnt even the part that
bugged me. I was just troubled by
the fact that this reader legitimately
believed I would be a happier per-
son if I lowered my expectations
for how I should be treated by
males.
Naturally, my immediate reac-
tion after reading the comment
was self-doubt. On one level, the
comment made sense: High expec-
tations can lead to disappointment
and unhappiness.
But looking back to my past
relationships and thinking critically
about the time Ive spent ridin solo,
I realize that my high expectations
allow me to be content with being
single.
Ive been on both sides of the
spectrum with relationships. My
first relationship lasted almost two
years. But that wasnt representative
of my happiness: The relationship
was actually quite miserable, in
retrospect. After slowly develop-
ing the courage to break off on my
own, I came to the conclusion that
its better to be single with high
expectations than it is to settle for
someone who brings more pain
than happiness.
Although I am hopeful, I am
also a realist. To say I have high
expectations is to generalize my
values. I may have standards, but
I know that my expectations are
reasonable. This is because I have
also been in a fulfilling and loving
relationship.
Looking back, it was the simple
things that made me happiest in
that relationship. This boy encour-
aged me, respected my opinion and
made day-to-day efforts to show
me he cared.
Get this: He even opened doors
and pulled out chairs. Even though
the relationship eventually ended
on amicable terms it has
given me confidence that I will
again find a real, worthy love.
I know the word chivalry car-
ries a lot of significance. I really
dont expect a knight in shining
armor to sing cheesy love songs
as they did in the Middle Ages.
Instead, I want modern day chival-
ry. I want to see more men willing
to do the simple things to win the
affection of women.
Sure, it would have been fun to
wear large obnoxious dresses, pile
on make-up and try to look pretty
while waiting for a chivalrous
knight.
Even still, I am thankful that it
isnt necessary for primping to be
my primary occupation.
Thanks to the suffrage move-
ment, women can be independent,
self-sustaining and strong without
having to rely on a male.
This is still a fairly new concept
and has certainly taken a bit of get-
ting used to.
In actuality, men should be more
chivalrous now than they ever
have. Women used to have to settle
with less-worthy males for the sake
of economic security.
Within the next few years, many
of us college-educated, empowered
and very deserving women will be
looking for life-partners.
We all go to college for the same
basic reason: To increase our intel-
lectual self-potentials and increase
our chances of achieving the
futures we dream for ourselves. I
think that the same theory applies
to dating.
We are only worth as much as
we believe ourselves to be.

Open up the discussion
on student disabilities
Thank you very much for
publishing two excellent fea-
ture articles on disability at the
University. As director of the
Academic Achievement and
Access Center, the unit in Student
Success that houses Disability
Resources, I would like to add a
brief post-script.
The student stories highlighted
in the articles are wonderful
examples of the strength and
courage of people with disabilities
working exceedingly hard to
achieve their dreams. It is
important to note that they
represent less than five percent
of the more than 600 students
who identify themselves and
use accommodation services.
A sidebar to the story written
by Carnez Williams listed the
scope of disabilities affecting
students at the University.
Although their disabling
conditions are not visible, these
students demonstrate daily
the same levels of courage and
commitment to learning. They
may have learning or psychiatric
disabilities. They may have
chronic medical conditions.
They handle academic and
personal challenges every day,
and the professional and student
staff in Disability Resources often
go above and beyond to support
them in myriad ways.
Awareness and attitude are
the biggest challenges for both
people with disabilities and the
people who serve them. Once
again, we sincerely appreciate the
great work of Carnez Williams
and Elliot Kort. We invite anyone
interested in learning more about
disability on the campus to con-
tact us for additional information
on our services.

Although they wont completely
reenact Will Ferrells streaking scene
in Old School, students will be able
to shed their clothes and run down
Jayhawk Boulevard for a good cause.
Hundreds of students are expected
to participate in the AXE Undie Run
Challenge tonight.
The event will start at 9:30 p.m. at
the Kansas Union, and risqu runners
will jog down Jayhawk Boulevard and
back.
Students can donate the clothing
that they strip off in exchange for
AXE garb. All donations will be given
to the Lawrence Community Shelter
along with $5,000 from AXE.
Ten schools will be participating in
the challenge, and each will tally how
much clothing has been donated. The
winner will get a statue of an Undie
Run individual, AXE spokesman
Thomas Purgatorio said.
To help promote the event, there
will be a pre-party at 8 p.m. at The
Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., and a post-
party at The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St.,
which is open only to those who ran
in the challenge.
Purgatorio said the run was a good
way to combine a classic college tradi-
tion with philanthropy.
Some schools were doing this
beforehand, calling it the nearly
naked mile, after finals as a way
to blow off steam, Purgatorio said.
AXE wanted to capitalize on that and
do something for charity.
Sebastian Beshk, a sophomore
from Mission Viejo, Calif., said he
was planning on making the nearly
nude run. He said he had done one of
the biggest undie runs in the country
at the University of California-Los
Angeles.
It felt like the whole school went
out there, Beshk said. Everyone
talks about it and gets really pumped
for it.
Beshk also said it was a good way
to relax and for the student body to
come together.
It was cool that everyone was
chilling together and running around
in their underwear, Beshk said. It
was more school spirit than Ive ever
seen at UCLA.
Kaitlin Bilovesky, a junior from
Overland Park, said she would prob-
ably not partake in the festivities.
I wouldnt feel comfortable strip-
ping down to my underwear, but I
would find a way if I could to support
the cause, Bilovesky said.
The Facebook event page had 1,059
confirmed guest as of Wednesday.

Mega Millions ticket matches all numbers
AssoCiATEd PrEss
LOS ANGELES A Mega
Millions ticket sold in California
could be worth $266 million to
the ticket holder. It is also worth
a cool million to the owner of
the barbecue restaurant where it
was sold.
The winning ticket matched all
six numbers drawn in Tuesdays
multistate game 9, 21, 31, 36
and 43 with 8 as the Mega num-
ber.
The ticket was sold at L & L
Hawaiian BBQ in Pico Rivera.
Owner Danny He and his fam-
ily will get $1 million, the cap
on lottery bonuses in California,
said lottery spokeswoman Cathy
Doyle Johnston in Sacramento.
A man who answered the phone
at the restaurant southeast of Los
Angeles said it was too busy and
too exciting for anyone to talk on
the phone.
Theres a lot of buzz and sev-
eral stories about reported win-
ners, Johnston said.
But no one has come into the
office to claim it. Until we have
someone come in who has that
ticket, we do not have an official
winner, Johnston said.
The winner has a year to turn
in the ticket, then 60 days to tell
lottery officials how he or she
wants the money.
It can be paid in 26 equal pay-
ments of $10.2 million or in a
lump sum of about $165 million,
minus federal taxes, Johnston
said.
The $266 million jackpot was
the eighth-largest in the history
of the game, which began in 2002
and is now played in 38 states
and the District of Columbia.
It was the second-largest to
be hit in California. Five months
after California joined the multi-
state game in June 2005, a ticket
bought by seven people won
$315 million.
California had a $134 mil-
lion winner in March, as well,
Johnston said, adding: We are
kind of on a roll.
The last Mega Millions ticket
to match all six numbers was sold
in Illinois for the March 12 draw-
ing. It was worth $20 million.
Across the country Tuesday
night, 28 tickets had five numbers
but didnt have the Mega number.
The seven sold in California are
worth $179,428 each, while tick-
ets sold in other states will pay
$250,000. California law requires
payoffs in lottery games to be
paid on a pari-mutuel scale.
The odds of matching all five
numbers and the Mega number
is 1 in 175,711,536, lottery offi-
cials said.
The next drawing will be
Friday and the jackpot will be
$12 million.

In its final nonconference series
of the year, Kansas split a double-
header against the Drake Bulldogs
on the road. Kansas moved to
20-31 (1-15) while Drake went to
31-19. Kansas will finish the sea-
son with a 19-16 record against
nonconference opponents, but
never found its stride in Big 12
Conference play.
Kansas pitched exceptionally
well in Game One, and freshman
pitcher Alex Jones pitched seven
full innings, allowing just one hit
and one earned-run.
It was one of those games that
I got in the groove early, which
was nice, Jones said. Pitchers
also love going to the mound
knowing they are already ahead.
Coach Megan Smith said she
was very pleased with Jones per-
formance in the pitching circle.
She did a really good job con-
trolling and jamming the hitters,
Smith said.
The first game was a very slop-
py game for both teams, with
six errors between the two. In
the first inning alone, both teams
combined for five errors.
In the top of the first, Drakes
three errors helped Kansas score
the first run.
Drake tied the game in the
second, but Kansas quickly took
the lead back in the third. Neither
team would score again, and
Kansas would walk away with a
narrow 2-1 victory.
In Game Two, Drakes pitching
took over as Kansas only man-
aged to rack up two hits and no
runs in the game.
It was frustrating because
we couldnt get any momen-
tum going, freshman outfielder
Maggie Hull said. No one came
to play at the plate.
Game Two was also a sloppy
game for Kansas, as this time
Kansas alone would rack up five
errors in the game.
We thought we had gotten to
a point in a season where we had
cleaned up all those errors, Hull
said. It was frustrating to see
them come back out again.
The game was scoreless until
the bottom of the fifth, when two
errors and two hits helped Drake
score four runs to take a 4-0 lead.
Drake would add two more runs
in the sixth, and Kansas wasn't
able to answer as the Bulldogs
shut out the Jayhawks 6-0.
Kansas will conclude the regu-
lar season this weekend against
Iowa State 25-27 (3-13) in a two-
game series at Arrocha Ballpark.
Iowa State comes in with a six-
game losing streak while Kansas
has lost eight in a row in Big 12
play.
Kansas has still yet to win a
conference game at home, but it
will have its best chance against
the ninth place Cyclones. Kansas
five seniors will be honored dur-
ing Senior Day on Saturday.

Saying Robby Price had big
shoes to fill or a shadow to step
out from under just doesnt cut
it. After all, there were three
pairs of shoes and three tower-
ing shadows waiting when Robby,
the Jayhawks senior second base-
man, set foot on campus four
years ago.
This is all because Robby is the
youngest member of what can
accurately be called the first fam-
ily of Kansas baseball.
His father Ritch has established
himself as one of the most suc-
cessful coaches in Jayhawk his-
tory. Hes the second winningest
coach in Kansas baseball history,
and among coaches with at least
100 games coached at Kansas,
Price has the highest winning
percentage at .556.
Eldest brother Ritchie was
part of his fathers first recruiting
class. He was a defensive wiz-
ard at shortstop in his four years
at Kansas before being selected
in the 18th round of the 2006
Major League Baseball draft. Now
hes the youngest head coach in
Division I at South Dakota State.
Middle brother Ryne hit more
home runs as a Jayhawk than any
other player to ever don the crim-
son and blue before his gradua-
tion in 2008 and selection in the
33rd round of the draft.
Both of Robbys brothers
were starters on the 2006 Big 12
Champions team that their father
coached the only Big 12 title
the Jayhawks have ever won.
Still, Robby has had at least as
successful a career as either of his
brothers.
The story of the Prices rela-
tionship with the Jayhawks starts
in 2002 when, following an eight-
year run as the head coach of
Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo,
Calif., Ritch Price accepted an
offer to become the head coach
at Kansas.
When I came here and my
sons elected to play for me, the
single most important part of this
process was that all three players
were good enough to not create
any controversy about being the
coachs son, Ritch said.
That same year, Ritchs eldest
son was graduating high school
and had originally committed to
play baseball at the University
of Arizona. When the Wildcats
hired a new head coach, Ritchie
followed his father to Kansas,
where he started in the middle
infield from day one.
When he got the job, I wasnt
planning on coming to Kansas,
Ritchie said. Id never even been
to Kansas. Then right before the
school year started, I just got in
my car and drove to Lawrence.
After we saw how great a school
it was and how great a town it
was, I think we all knew wed be
going there.
To ensure that it was the right
decision to have his son play for
him despite the potential for con-
troversy, Ritch called some of his
closest friends
in the industry
some who
had their sons
play for them
and some who
sent them else-
where.
It all came
back to every
single coach
whose son
played for
them told me it
was the great-
est time of their career, he said.
From a coachs standpoint,
Ritch is glad that Robby, his
steady-gloved second baseman,
has found his hitting stroke in
his senior year. As a father, Ritch
is ecstatic to see his son come
back from surgery to repair
a torn labrum, a muscle in
the shoulder, and perform
to a level he always was
capable of.
When youre their
coach, you dont get
to be a parent, Ritch
said. You dont get
to talk about how
down they are
when theyre not
playing well and
how great it feels
when theyre going
good because all youre
focused on is your team
and 35 guys, where a nor-
mal parent just gets
to talk to their son
when theyre going
through the peaks
and valleys of a sea-
son.
When Dad has
to coach, though,
the matron of the
Price clan, Cindy,
is available to be a
mother. Robby said
that his mom had
come to follow base-
ball closely because
of her familys involvement with
the game.
I think she kind of has to be a
fan. She thinks she knows a lot,
Robby said with a laugh.
Ritchie, the oldest son, said
whenever he talks to his brothers
once every couple weeks or
his dad about five times a week
the conversation immediately
shifts to baseball.
Most of our conversations,
Ritchie said, center around base-
ball and that program. Our family
as a whole has given so much and
invested so much in the baseball
program there.
Naturally, Ritch and his sons
didnt want to have a relationship
that was solely coach-player, so
on the advice of a friend who also
coached his son, Ritch established
a Monday night dinner with his
boys where they could talk about
anything except baseball.
For the eight years that Ive
been here, Ive taken each one of
my sons to dinner on Monday
night, and well go to some res-
taurant downtown, and I just get
to be a dad, he said. I get to

Sports'

the past
tHe prices are rigHt
Prices' playing streak ends
The boys have been starters since
their dad became coach at Kansas
A
s the year comes to a close,
its tempting to cast long-
ing eyes on the past, already
putting together mental scrapbooks.
College, were so often told, is about
the memories.
But sports are different. Sports are
not about the memories, no matter
how great some might be. Sports are
about the pursuit of next year.
A story that illustrates that point
beautifully goes like this: In the midst
of celebrating the 2008 national
championship, coach Bill Self spot-
ted assistant coach Joe Dooley sitting
off by himself. Dooley didnt appear
to share in the revelry. Instead, he
looked zoned out, focused on any-
thing but the glory the other coaches
basked in. Self approached Dooley
and asked him, Isnt this awesome?
You would expect Dooleys answer
to confirm that, yes, this was awe-
some. Perhaps he appeared zoned out
only because he could scarcely believe
what had happened. Maybe Marios
Miracle didnt seem real quite yet.
But thats not what Dooley said.
Instead, he replied, Weve got to fig-
ure out a way to do it again. Fifteen
minutes after one of the most riveting
final acts in NCAA tournament his-
tory, and Joe Dooley had moved on.
He was already thinking about next
year.
Dooley is an extreme example, no
doubt. Few people are wired in such a
way that turning lifes pages comes so
easily. But Dooleys attitude is helpful
in understanding the transient nature
of sports.
Kansas footballs hot start? Ancient
history. So, too, is the collapse that
followed. Its filed away next to images
of a star-crossed basketball season
and even more recent events like the
Kansas Relays.
It doesnt matter whether the mem-
ory is good, bad or indifferent. The
point is that nothing thats already
transpired can be as interesting as
events yet to unfold.
Not even Todd Reesings most dar-
ing escape can compete with Kansas
current quarterback competition in
that regard. Whether Kale Pick locks
himself in as the starter or is unseated
by someone else, the endless supply of
possibilities provides an equally end-
less supply of speculation and interest.
Pick might be great. He might be
terrible. He might not even play. But
right now, all that matters is that all of
those things could happen.
The fact that Kansas would-be all-
time great basketball team fell in the
second round to Northern Iowa, trag-
ic as it may have seemed at the time,
now seems a long-distant speck on
the horizon compared to the looming
next season.
No amount of examples can show
that memories are worthless, however,
or that they should be done away with
altogether. Like any good scrapbook,
they have their place sequestered
in some closet, providing nostalgic
trips for lazy afternoons.
But ultimately, Dooley got it right
when he looked ahead to next year,
even as a great one culminated.
Theres just too much yet to happen
to focus on the things that already
have.

After we saw how
great a school it
was ... I think we all
knew we'd be going
there.
RiTchie pRice
eldest son
X
avier Henry, former guard, and I
dont have a whole lot in common.
Height difference and athletic abil-
ity aside, I doubt our experiences here at
the University have much overlap.
But I was struck by something he said
to me during an interview earlier in the
semester. Thats what college is about, he
said. Its where you work your hardest to
see what youre gonna become. This is what
makes you.
Rereading it now, I realize that maybe
Xavier and I do have something in com-
mon after all: After finals end, we wont be
coming back to the University. At least not
for now. He, of course, will make a run at
a professional career in the NBA while I
make my walk through the campanile and
down the hill.
Our career goals are as different as our
time spent at the University, but what we
have in common is a shared experience
the experience of pushing ourselves,
just like the other 6,000 students who will
graduate next weekend, to see what were
going to become. To see what we can make
of ourselves.
As graduation approaches, I know Im
not alone in occasionally succumbing to
sentimentality. My time at the University
has not always been great. In fact, some of it
has been hell. But I would be lying if I said
Im the same person leaving that I was com-
ing in. I would be lying if I said I havent
been shaped for the better by the four years
Ive spent on this campus. My college expe-
rience has helped make me who I am today.
I have been made by the steam whistle
at 9:50 a.m. and the bell tower at noon. I
have been made by late night homework,
early walks through campus and end-
less coffee. I have been made by national
championships won and lost, deadlines met
and missed, friends come and gone. I have
been made by professors-turned-mentors
and roommates-turned-family. I have been
made by hard work, perseverance and a
constant helping hand.
Xavier and I, were going different places.
But weve had a good run here.
As a senior, this will be my first and last
edition of the Morning Brew, but its been
real. See you on the Hill.

NFL
Linebacker continues football career as coach
MccLATchy-TRIBuNE
CHICAGO As Marcus
Freeman drove out of Indianapolis
after a failed physical with the
Colts only four days after they lost
the Super Bowl, he couldnt help
but think about Gaines Adams,
who had died less than a month
earlier.
But the linebacker from Ohio
State, the Bears fifth-round pick
a year ago, also couldnt imag-
ine an enlarged heart valve in his
left ventricle ending his football
career. His playing days had ended
abruptly, but not a career in the
game he loves.
Freemans first call was to his
Buckeyes position coach, Luke
Fickell, explaining that after a bat-
tery of stress tests and an MRI on
his heart the Colts determined
it wasnt safe for him to contin-
ue playing. He wanted to coach.
Then he called his father and wife
and explained the stunning news.
The two-hour drive home
from Indianapolis helped me real-
ize, Hey, this is the end of it,
said Freeman, who has a 3-year-
old daughter, Bria, and a 2-year-
old son, Vincent. I was really
disappointed, but I wasnt in the
dumps. Right away, I was excited
and ready to begin the next chap-
ter. Coaching is definitely some-
thing I have a passion for.
Now, he has a position as a
quality control assistant for the
Buckeyes while he finishes up
three classes for a degree in sports
management. His goal is to con-
tinue in the coaching profession
after a truncated playing career.
The Bears released Freeman at the
end of the preseason, and he had
stints on practice squads for the
Bills and Texans.
Forward transfers
to USC from Iowa
Forward Aaron Fuller, an
honorable-mention All-Big Ten
performer for Iowa last season,
has transferred to USc, the school
announced.
The 6-foot-6, 230-pound
sophomore will sit out next
season and have two years of eli-
gibility remaining. He led Iowa in
scoring (12.3 ppg) and rebound-
ing (7.6 rpg) in conference games
in 2009-10.
Fuller was the class 4A-5A
Player of the Year in Arizona as a
senior at Mesa High in 2007-08.

Phillies roll past
Cardinals, win 4-0
PHILADELPHIA Kyle Ken-
drick threw seven impressive
innings, Placido Polanco hit a
two-run homer and the Phila-
delphia Phillies beat the St. Louis
Cardinals 4-0 Wednesday night.
In a return to normalcy, no fans
ran onto the feld at Citizens Bank
Park after consecutive games
were marred by unruly behavior.
A crowd of 44,261 was the
54th straight sellout in Phila-
delphia. Everyone stayed in the
stands for a change. Some were
startled when a ball girl dashed
onto the feld during a pitch-
ing change in the eighth before
quickly realizing she was simply
going to get reliever Dennys
Reyes' jacket from the bullpen.
Brad Penny (3-2) gave up three
runs and fve hits, striking out
six in six innings. It was the 14th
straight quality start by Cardinals
starters, their longest streak since
1973 when they also had 14 in
a row.
Associated Press
find out how schools going for
them and if theyre having any girl
issues, you know, all those stresses
involved.
Just like they dont let on-field
problems leak into their Monday
night meetings, they keep it all
baseball once they get inside the
chalk of the foul lines.
Its a lot more professional,
Robby said of his relationship with
his dad on the field. I mean, if
youve ever seen him coaching or
at practice, you know hes a players
coach, and hes really easy to play
for, but ours is just like any other
player's.
After eight years with a son on
the roster, Ritch has the gig down
pat, and Robby is reaping the ben-
efits.
As a senior, Robby is shatter-
ing his personal bests. Entering
this weekends home series against
Missouri, hes hitting .341, almost
50 percentage points higher than
his previous career high average
of .296. Hes second on the team
with four home runs and third
with a personal-best .992 OPS. His
22 extra-base hits lead the team
and are a career-high, though he
has at least 10 games left. Always
sure-handed in the field, Robby
has outdone himself, committing
just three errors this year in 203
chances, giving him a career best
.985 fielding percentage.
If he can continue his solid
production, Robby will likely get
drafted higher than either of his
brothers. Ritch insists the offensive
numbers have always been there,
but have lurked beneath the sur-
face due to injuries.
Hes been Kansas High School
Player of the Year and one of the
best players of his age group his
entire life, Ritch said. He tore
a labrum in his left shoulder at
the end of his freshman year and
played with it his sophomore and
junior year.
Next year, however, there will be
no Price listed on the roster, save
for next to the words head coach.
It will be the first year Ritch has
coached at Kansas without one of
his sons penciled into the starting
lineup.
For at least the next 10 games,
Ritch and Robby will savor one last
season together.
Its been a great experience,
Ritch said. When I came here, I
took over a program that had had
five straight losing seasons, that
had not ever qualified for the Big
12 Tournament. And all three of
my boys have been part of the
turnaround. Thats been one of the
most rewarding things to happen.

Big 10 looks to
expand in a year
The moment Big East Confer-
ence commissioner John Mari-
natto arrived in Scottsdale, Ariz.,
for a mid-April meeting of Bowl
Championship Series schools,
he found himself squarely in the
sights of Big 10 commissioner Jim
Delany. Their meeting occurred
on the heels of a published report
that said a decision on Big 10
expansion could happen quickly,
resulting in a June raid on the Big
East and Big 12.
"Jim told me there was no ac-
celerated timetable," Marinatto
said Wednesday. "I knew he
wouldn't do that without calling
me."
For the moment, it appears
the Big 10 is sticking to Delany's
original timetable of 12-18
months to reach a decision,
which means the Big East and
other conferences are safe for
another year. But that doesn't
mean the Big 10 won't expand
by three or fve schools to widen
the reach of its TV network with
the lure of a payout approaching
the $22 million per year each
of its 11 members reportedly
receives now.
The threat to the future of the
Big East is serious enough that
Marinatto recently convinced
former NFL commissioner Paul
Tagliabue to serve as an adviser
on how best to combat the pos-
sibility of losing some of the
league's football schools. "Not
only me, but all commission-
ers around the country would
be irresponsible if they weren't
concerned about the potential
of what could happen," Mari-
natto said.
According to one published
report, the Big 10 expansion
study targeted Missouri of the
Big 12, Pitt, Rutgers and Syracuse
of the Big East and Notre Dame.

PHILADELPHIA Steve
Consalvi isnt getting much sym-
pathy.
He has been called dumb and
an idiot, and even his exasperated
mother cried while apologizing for
her 17-year-old sons antics.
Consalvi is the Phillies fan who
was prancing through the outfield
during Monday nights game when
a Philadelphia police officer fired
a Taser into his back, dropping
him like a bloop single in shallow
center.
Within hours, footage of his
arrest had become an Internet
and television sensation, sparking
a national debate over the merits
of shooting a high-voltage weapon
into a high school senior in full
view of 45,000 people.
Consalvi, of Berks County, Pa.,
was the first fan ever to be Tasered
on the field in Philadelphia at a
Phillies game and possibly any-
where else.
Mayor Michael Nutter and
Police Commissioner Charles H.
Ramsey quickly backed the officer
on Tuesday, saying he acted appro-
priately.
People need to be concerned
about fan behavior. ... Thats the
issue, Ramsey said. You cant
jump out on the field. We had,
what, 45,000 people there? The
other 44,999 didnt run out on the
field.
While few people were willing
to defend Consalvis actions, some
questioned the need to Taser a
young man armed with nothing
more than the rally towel he was
cheerfully waving.
I think it was overkill, said
Hector Delgado, a retired Chrysler
Corp. worker from Delaware who
was watching Tuesday nights game
from Section 131. He was just a
17-year-old boy. Be for real. They
didnt need to do that. He wasnt
threatening anyone.
Consalvis mother and stepfa-
ther, Amy and Scott Zeigler, criti-
cized their son and apologized for
his behavior. But, as for the Taser,
both of us have the same feeling
that, at first blush, it seems exces-
sive, Scott Zeigler said.
Hes not a criminal, Amy
Zeigler said. Hes very embar-
rassed, very upset. And hell write
a letter to the Philadelphia Phillies
organization to apologize, which is
the right thing to do.
Consalvi, bound for Pennsylvania
State Universitys Berks County
campus in the fall, crumpled to the
ground after being hit but quickly
got up and walked off the field. He
was not injured, his mother said.
Another person who questioned
the officers choice of tactics was
Gov. Ed Rendell, who himself was
caught up in a
1989 snowball
fight at an Eagles
game that later
became part of
the citys canon
of embarrassing
sports moments.
Fans cant be
allowed to inter-
rupt the game,
Rendell said
Tuesday. But they
should have had enough officers to
apprehend the kid and not have to
Tase him.
Monday night, a Phillies spokes-
woman said the organization was
discussing with police whether in
future situations this is an appro-
priate use of force under these cir-
cumstances.
Ramsey said that he spoke with
Phillies officials on Tuesday but
that nothing was decided.
Do they want our people going
on the field, or do they not want
our people to go on the field?
Ramsey said. We can sit down and
discuss that.
The officer who Tasered Consalvi
normally works in the Center City
District. He was posted at Citizens
Bank Park for Mondays ball game
as part of a rotation, said Ramsey,
who would not name the officer.
The officer had been trained to
use a Taser so he could work with
the departments Crisis Intervention
Team, dealing with the mentally ill.
Only officers who receive the train-
ing are armed with Tasers.
The department does not require
officers working at sporting events
to be armed with them.
Police Directive 22, which gov-
erns the use of force, says an officer
can use a Taser to prevent an
escape from arrest and overcome
resistance to arrest.
Ramsey said Consalvi was elud-
ing the officer and several Phillies
employees trying to corral him,
making the use of the weapon
within their guidelines.
John McNesby,
president of
Fraternal Order of
Police Lodge 5, also
defended the offi-
cers actions.
I didnt see
anything wrong
with that, he said.
I think not only
should he have
been Tasered,
they should have
Tasered his parents, McNesby
said.
He said the incident would deter
future field rushers.
I bet somebody else will think
twice before they do that, he said.
Nobody told him to run out there
on the field like an idiot.
Before Tuesdays game, Phillies
centerfielder Shane Victorino said
officers chasing a suspect on the
street would be more than justified
in using a Taser.
Maybe the Taser was excessive,
but I look at it as, why are you
going to treat the situation different
because hes in a baseball stadium
rather than a street? he said. Ive
seen guys go out there and juke for
10 minutes and run around and
juke five, six security guards.

Minnesota gets
frst sweep of season
MINNEAPOLIS Leadof man
Denard Span was the catalyst for
Minnesota with three singles and
a walk, and the Twins beat the
Detroit Tigers 5-4 on Wednesday
for their frst sweep in nine series
this season.
Span scored on Justin
Morneaus double in the frst
inning against sputtering Tigers
starter Rick Porcello. After taking
a 2-0 lead, the Twins became the
frst major league team to score at
least two runs in the frst inning of
six straight games since the 1971
New York Yankees did so seven
consecutive times.

Blue Jays rebound
to sweep Indians
CLEVELAND Adam Lind hit
a two-run homer with two outs in
the ninth inning to send the To-
ronto Blue Jays to a three-game
sweep of the Cleveland Indians
with a 5-4 win on Wednesday.
Lind homered after Cleveland
shortstop Luis Valbuenas error
on a grounder that could have
ended the game.
Torontos Fred Lewis doubled
with two outs in the ninth for his
third hit of the game. Aaron Hill
followed with a slow roller that
Valbuena botched for his frst of
two errors in the inning. Valbue-
na, usually the second baseman,
has played shortstop the last
two days while Asdrubal Cabrera
nurses a strained left quadriceps.
Lind followed with a blast to
left feld, sending the Indians to
their fourth straight loss. It was
Torontos league-leading 43rd
home run and ffth of the series.
Toronto, which has won four
straight, swept its frst three-
game series in Cleveland since
Sept. 9-11, 2002.
The late rally made a winner
out of reliever Jason Frasor (1-1).
Chris Perez (0-2) was stuck with
the loss after trying to earn his
frst save since April 18.
Travis Hafner homered and
scored twice, and Fausto Car-
mona pitched into the seventh
for Cleveland, which struck out
12 times.

6B / SPORTS / THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / kAnSAn.coM
SPRINg SPORTS
TRACK AND FIELD:
Mason Finley: The freshmen
thrower helped lead the mens
team to 19th in the country and
recently earned Big 12 athlete of
the week for the second straight
time. He is third in the nation
in shot put and discus. Finley is
preparing for his frst conference
championships next weekend in
columbia, Mo.
Andrea geubelle: She is an-
other freshman standout for the
Jayhawks. Geubelle is currently
second in the nation in the triple
jump (13.39 m) and frst in the
west region. That mark also puts
her on top of the Big 12 stand-
ings heading into the confer-
ence championships on May 14.
The mens team: The mens track and feld team
has failed to win a conference title since 1982. This
year could be the year, although the Jayhawks will
face tough competition from fellow ranked teams
kansas State (18), Baylor (17), nebraska (15), okla-
homa (10), Texas Tech (4) and Texas A&M (1). The
Big 12 is loaded with seven teams in the top 25. If
the kansas men can leave columbia with its frst
conference title in nearly 30 years, it will defnitely
be earned.
Kory Carpenter
As the semester comes to a close, look for these important sport events and people
BASEBALL:
Kansas vs. Missouri: The Border Show-
down comes to Hoglund Ballpark Friday for a
pivotal three-game series in terms of the Big
12 Standings. If the Jayhawks have any as-
pirations of making a regional tournament,
they need to secure a series victory at home
against the Tigers who they edged 1-0 on
April 21 at kaufman Stadium.
Kansas vs. Kansas State: The in-state
rivals will play a three-game series start-
ing May 14, with next Fridays game being
played at Hoglund before the fnal two
games are held in Manhattan. The Wildcats,
currently in second place in the conference,
have been a big surprise this season in the
Big 12 and will provide a big challenge for
the Jayhawks who are in serious need of a
few victories.
Big 12 Tournament (May 26-30): The top
eight teams in the conference will square of
in oklahoma city for the Big 12 Tournament.
kansas is currently in the eight team feld,
but the team needs to continue winning
games to stay in that group. If the Jayhawks
can win at least fve more games and have a
solid showing in the tournament, a regional
tournament berth should be attainable.
Ben Ward
ROWINg:
The rowing team will compete in the
fnal South-central Regional cham-
pionship on May 15-16. It will feature
teams from the Acc, Big 12, Big 10,
conference USA and the SEc. It will
also double as the frst conference
USA championship for the nine teams,
including the Jayhawks, that are now
afliated with conference USA rowing.
next year it will be replaced entirely
by the Big 10 championship and the
conference USA championship.
Ethan Padway
SOFTBALL:
At 1-15 in the Big 12 conference,
kansas is dangerously close to fnishing
last in the conference. It will need to
sweep Iowa State this weekend to pull
even with the cyclones for a tie in ninth
place.
kansas has been in games late all
season against ranked conference
opponents. Being the ninth or 10th
seed in the tournament, kansas will be
looking to catch a team ofguard that
wasnt expecting kansas to put up a
fght.

What to watch for in the next week
Rookie linebacker
overcomes past
Mcclatchy-tribune
ALAMEDA, Calif. To fully
appreciate how Oakland Raiders
rookie linebacker Rolando
McClain got this far, its impera-
tive to know where he has been.
McClains path is one encoun-
tered by many but successfully
navigated by few, making his
ascension to first-round NFL
draft pick all the more remark-
able.
McClain left home at 15 and
moved in with a friends fam-
ily because of problems with his
mother that escalated into her
being barred from seeing him.
His father bounced in and out of
his life. More than a few youths
fell victim to the drugs, violence
and gangs in his hometown of
Decatur, Ala.
Yet, using
sports as an
outlet, McClain
overcame those
obstacles. He
started as a
sophomore in
high school,
cracked the start-
ing lineup his
freshman season
at Alabama and
matured into the
top linebacker in
the land by his
junior season.
I was a pretty mature kid,
McClain said. Ive always been
mature for my age. So, a lot of the
decisions that I made turned out
to be great decisions.
Today, he is the prize of the
Raiders 2010 draft class. The
Raiders are so high on McClain
that they traded Kirk Morrison,
their leading tackler the past five
seasons, so that McClain can start
right away.
During McClains senior year
at Decatur High, his mother,
Tonya Malone, was arrested
and accused of threatening to
kill everyone at Decatur High
School as well as everyone at the
Morgan County Courthouse that
had anything to do with her son,
according to a sworn affidavit by
a police officer.
Malone received two years
probation in February 2008
after pleading guilty to obstruct-
ing governmental operations.
Before the sentencing, she was
diagnosed with bipolar disorder
and Crohns disease, and termed
disabled.
In December 2005, McClain
received a court order that pre-
vented Malone from seeing him
as a result of Malone pushing and
hitting him, as well as threaten-
ing to kill him, according to court
records.
Malone later denied making
such a threat. She said the inci-
dent stemmed from her doling
out tough love.
I dont make
threats like that,
Malone said at
the time. No,
no, no. That was
just something,
because he was 16,
he wanted to rebel.
He was playing
with varsity foot-
ball players and
they wanted him
to hang out after
games, and I was
not having it.
At 15, McClain left home and
called the family of a friend from
a street corner. Canitha Thomas
listened to McClain tell her all
he had was the clothes he was
wearing and his scholarship to
Alabama.
hthe Raiders, and they are
working on rebuilding their rela-
tionship.
Even though me and my
mom had our differences, when
I left the house I was 15 so she
had already instilled some good
things in me, McClain said. I
could have done some things dif-
ferently.
Ive always been
mature for my age.
So, a lot of the
decisions I made
turned out to be
great decisions.

Barkley to return
after minor injury
USc quarterback Matt Bar-
kley has a bruised right hand
and should be able to resume
throwing in a week, the school
announced.
Barkley saw doctors Tuesday
evening, and they found no frac-
tures in the hand Barkley smacked
against defensive tackle Jurrell
caseys helmet Saturday.
Its what I thought it was,
Barkley said. Its nothing to worry
about. It sure hurt when it hap-
pened, but its a whole lot better
now. I can squeeze my hand and
make a fst. Theres no long-term
problem. Ill be throwing again
real soon.

Senior infelder's spirit makes her
softball team's 'heart and soul'
BY ZACH GETZ
zgetz@kansan.com

Two words are constantly used
to describe senior infielder Sara
Ramirez when she plays: competi-
tive and fighter.
She is one of the sweetest girls
ever, but whenever you see her
on the field, she has that drive
and fire, which you can sense in
her eyes, freshman pitcher and
outfielder Alex Jones said. When
you see a person like that, its
intimidating.
Ramirezs passion and drive for
the game is contagious to the rest
of the team, Jones said.
People want to look up to her,
want to perform as well as she
does and accomplish things she
wants to get accomplished, Jones
said.
That sort of fire is exactly why
coach Megan Smith thinks she
has been such an asset to the team
this season.
Ive told her several times shes
the heart and soul of our team,
Smith said. She pushes herself
and her teammates.
Smith also said Ramirez was an
extremely determined and resil-
ient player.
She fights through a lot of inju-
ries and pain that you would never
know she had, Smith said.
Ramirez said she got her will to
win from her family.
We cant even play a game of
Go Fish without it getting crazy in
our family, Ramirez said.
Being the youngest of six girls,
all who played softball, Ramirez
grew up battling against her sis-
ters.
Were so competitive at every-
thing that it made us so much bet-
ter, Ramirez said.
Twenty-four was the number
their father wore when he played
baseball. The Ramirezes, a very
close family, all wore the same
number to show their solidarity.
It was kind of like if you had
Ramirez and the number 24 on
the back, you better be good,
Ramirez said.
While playing on a California
team with fellow senior Sarah
Vertelka, Ramirez took a recruit-
ing trip with several teammates
to Kansas and realized the stereo-
types about the state were wrong.
Its not just like tumbleweeds
and fields of corn, Ramirez said.
We didnt even know green exist-
ed here. Thats how ignorant we
were.
She committed to Kansas with
Vertelka, but the distance from
home took a toll on Ramirez.
Coming from a big, close family,
Ramirez said she was homesick
during her freshman and sopho-
more seasons. But the closeness
of the team helped alleviate some
of the pains of being away from
her family.
The girls I came in with like
Ally Stanton and Vertelka became
my sisters, Ramirez said.
Now with just two more games
in the regular season, Ramirez
said she was going to feel lost after
her career is over. She said she
enjoyed the work ethic and disci-
pline she got from softball.
I feel like I need to be pushed
that way, Ramirez said. Maybe
without it Im not going to know
what to do.

Senior infelder Sara Ramirez tosses the ball to frst base for an out Wednesday night. Kansas won 9-2 after losing the frst game of the double-
header 4-1 against Wichita State.
Athletics reclaim
frst place in AL West
OAKLAND, Calif. Eric Patter-
son homered, Trevor Cahill won
in his second start since getting
called up from the minors and
the Oakland Athletics beat the
Texas Rangers 4-1 on Wednes-
day to reclaim frst place in the
AL West.
Ryan Sweeney and Kevin
Kouzmanof produced consecu-
tive RBI groundouts in the frst as
the As staked Cahill to an early
lead. Patterson connected for his
second homer leading of the
ffth against Colby Lewis (3-1).
Cahill (1-1), a 10-game winner
last season as a rookie, allowed
only two baserunners past frst
in fve solid innings to earn the
victory. He was brought up from
Triple-A Sacramento last Friday
to start at Toronto as the As deal
with an injury-depleted pitching
staf.
The Rangers won the frst four
games of their road trip before
dropping the last two, losing
their frst series in the last three.
Daric Barton had an RBI single,
doubled and scored a run for the
As. The Rangers had led the divi-
sion for the frst time all season
the previous three days.
Cahill gave the As a boost
after their starters had gone 1-6
over the past eight games, help-
ing Oakland win its frst series in
the last three.
Brad Ziegler pitched a perfect
eighth and Andrew Bailey
fnished the 2-hour, 26-minute
game with a 1-2-3 ninth for his
ffth save in as many chances.
The reigning AL Rookie of the
Year hasnt allowed a run in a ca-
reer-best 20 2-3 innings dating
to last Sept. 6 and has converted
26 straight saves overall.

kansas (26-19-1, 7-10-1) has lost two straight games and four of its last fve heading
into a pivotal series against Missouri. Earlier this season, the Jayhawks shut out the Tigers
1-0 at kaufman Stadium behind dominant innings from freshman pitcher Thomas Taylor.
The Tigers have struggled in conference most of the 2010 season. Right now, they sit seventh in the Big 12 standings.
Missouri beat Missouri State 11-6 in its last game. In last seasons series with kansas, the Tigers took two of three games in
columbia.
How will the Jayhawks respond to a string of must-wingames?
With a schedule littered with would-be wins, kansas fnds itself with no more room to
let victories slip away. The Jayhawks 7-10-1 conference record is still good enough to place
them right in the middle of the Big 12, but with only nine games remaining they need at
least fve victories for a good shot at the postseason.
Can the Tigers score enough runs to win the series?
In the last game against kansas in kaufman Stadium, the Tigers
scored zero runs and missed opportunities on the feld. To win this se-
ries, they will have to get production from the entire lineup. The Tigers
are ranked seventh in batting in the conference; the Jayhawks sit sixth.
15: combined victories from Poppe, Selik and Walz
5: regular starters batting more than .300 in Big 12 play
12-4-1: record at Hoglund Ballpark this season
364: Strikeouts by Missouri batters (frst in the conference)
64: Errors by Missouri defense
5: Runners left on base in loss to kansas April 21
Andrew Hammond
Kansas Opening pitch MIssOURI Opening pitch
Any chance of kansas making the postseason rests in a series victory this
weekend. If the Jayhawks can take two of three, theyre right back in the hunt for a
regional berth. If not, its going to be a long of-season for kansas.

FRIDAY: Junior T.J. Walz
Walz has been sharp in two straight starts, most notably last weekend in Stillwater,
where he nearly no-hit oklahoma State. He fnished with a season-high 11 strikeouts in
eight innings.
SATURDAY: Senior cameron Selik
Selik also had a strong performance in Stillwater, allowing only two runs in seven in-
nings. But it went for naught the Jayhawks squandered a three-run lead in the ninth.
SUNDAY: Freshman Tanner Poppe
Like Selik, Poppe had a solid start wasted when kansas failed to hold a late lead. The
freshman still rebounded from two straight shaky outings with fve and 2/3 innings of
two-hit ball.
FRIDAY: Junior nick Tepesch
With a 4-4 record, Tepesch will take the ball in Game one. In his last start, Tepesch pitched six and 1/3 innings in a loss
to Texas Tech. This season, he leads the team in innings pitched and strikeouts.
SATURDAY: Junior Jef Scardino
In his last start on the road against Texas Tech, Scardino earned a no decision after getting rocked early in the game.
He lasted only four and 2/3 innings. Scardino has given up 31 runs in 16
appearances.
SUNDAY: Junior Phil Mccormick
In two innings of work against Texas Tech, Mccormick gave up no hits
and struck out two in a relief appearance. This season Mccormick has
a record of 5-1 with 23 innings pitched. He also has 12 strikeouts and
seven walks.

Junior third baseman Tony Thompson
Thompson seems to have regained his stroke at the plate,
recording a hit in 11 of kansas last 12 games with two home runs
and 13 RBIs. The Preseason All America selection needs to keep
providing power to the Jayhawks lineup.
Senior frst baseman Aaron Senne
Without Senne, the Tigers would not be worth
talking about this season. Senne is at the top of most
ofensive categories in the conference and leads the
team with 12 home runs. In the last game against the
Jayhawks, Senne was 0-4 with two strikeouts.
