STUDENT SENATE ELECTIONS
Coalitions release election platforms; new group joins
Getting online ticket redemp-
tion, preventing false fire alarms
in residence halls and expanding
wireless Internet to residence
halls highlight a few of the main
issues for the coalitions running
for Student Senate.
KUnited wants to implement
a system for students to redeem
their basketball tickets online,
rather than having to wait in
line at Allen Fieldhouse.
Nick Sterner, KUnited presi-
dential candidate and Shawnee
junior, said he had already met
with some administrators in the
Athletics Department and it was
something that was feasible.
One of Delta Forces main
issues is equipping the fire alarms
at residence halls with ink that
sprays in all directions if pulled.
If a student comes outside in
the middle of the night after the
alarm is pulled, and is covered in
purple that would be punishment
enough, Elaine Jardon, Delta
Force presidential candidate and
Overland Park sophomore said.
The main issues for the new
coalition, Student Voice, are
tuition and an open student
government.
Dennis Chanay, presidential
candidate for Student Voice and
Paola freshman, said that many
students in the residence halls
had complained about ResNet.
The only issue that is on two
different platforms is parking.
However, Delta Force and
KUnited have different issues
about the department.
KUnited wants to open the
Kansas Union parking garage at
5 p.m., rather than enforcing the
parking rules 24 hours a day,
Monday through Friday.
KUnited is also proposing
that students be able to pay their
parking tickets online.
Delta Force proposes a one-
time reduction of a parking ticket.
A student would have the
charge of the ticket reduced
from $20 to $5.
Every student is going to
mess up once, Jardon said.
The parking department has
money, and students dont.
The election is set for April 13
through 14.

KU On Wheels flips bus routes
In response to complaints
made by Naismith and Oliver
Hall residents, KU on Wheels
added an extra bus to the
Naismith/Oliver-GSP route yes-
terday.
To keep operating costs the
same, KU On Wheels cut hours
from the Jayhawk Express route,
a free bus that only runs on cam-
pus. Rather than running until
3:45 p.m., the route ends at 1:45
p.m.
The added Naismith/Oliver-
GSP bus runs between 8 and 10
a.m., during the peak hours of
ridership. The added bus will
not run the entire route.

Parking
prices may
increase
The Parking Commission
could decide as early as this
week whether parking rates,
including the price of a permit,
will change.
The commission had an
emergency meeting last Friday
to discuss the results of a park-
ing study conducted from 2004
through early 2005.
Chance Management
Advisors, a Philadelphia-based
consulting firm, prepared the
three-part study, which was due
in November 2004.
The Parking Commission has
reviewed the first part of the
study and will now determine
whether to increase parking
rates for fall 2005.
Donna Hultine, Parking
Department director, said that
the committee would likely
recommend an increase in
rates.
Parking rates include the
prices of parking permits,
parking tickets, event parking
and fees for parking in garages
and at meters. Permits are the
main source of money for the
parking department, Hultine
said.
Our focus is on trying to
bring up annual revenue with
permits, she said.
Range of increase has not
been decided, Hultine said.
The current $85 for a yellow
permit is less than other Big 12
Universities, according to infor-
mation from Chance
Management Advisors. The
University has the third cheap-
est student permit rates behind
Kansas State, $75, and
Oklahoma State, $44.
The report recommends
increasing the annual mainte-
nance budget from $500,000 to
a minimum of $700,000 to
$900,000 to cover both annual
and deferred maintenance.
Tom Mulinazzi, Parking
Commission chairman, said
that these were just recommen-
dations. Not all recommenda-
tions will be implemented, he
said.
But the Parking Commission
will have to make a recommen-
dation on rates sometime this
month, he said.
Right now, the rates are not
sufficient to cover mainte-
nance, Mulinazzi said.

STUDENT SENATE COALITIONPLATFORMS
Fraternity expelled
The Interfraternity Council
Judicial Board unanimously
voted to expel Phi Kappa Theta
fraternity from the University of
Kansas yesterday afternoon.
This is the first time the IFC has
expelled a fraternity.
The IFC no longer recognizes
Phi Kappa Theta as a fraternity
at the University and members
suggest it will no longer be rec-
ognized as a chapter of its
national fraternity. Founded in
1915, the KU chapter of Phi
Kappa Theta is the fraternitys
oldest chapter in the United
States.
According to IFC rules, the
fraternity has five days to
appeal. The fraternity will file an
appeal within the week, Matt
Moreno, Phi Kappa Theta presi-
dent and Wichita sophomore,
said.
The IFC filed 24 charges
against the fraternity for recruit-
ment and alcohol policy viola-
tions.
The charges resulted from a
noise complaint the Lawrence
police answered at the fraternity
house, 1111 W. 11th St., on Feb.
19.
Lawrence police found the
fraternity operated an open
saloon, selling alcohol without
a license and to minors.
Police confiscated 16 kegs of
beer, $517 in cash and signs that
advertised the party, according
to a Lawrence police report.
All functions and events must
be registered with the IFC. This
event was not, however.
Because of their seemingly
blatant disregard for following
the rules we have, we feel their
punishment is fair and appropri-
ate, Scott Shorten, IFC presi-
dent, said.
The judicial board of the IFC
asked the national office to con-
sider revoking Phi Kappa
Thetas charter until at least fall
2009, according to a University
Relations statement.
Phi Kappa Thetas national
board of trustees will conduct a
separate hearing in April, Kevin
Lampe, national secretary of Phi
Kappa Theta fraternity, said.
Until the outcome of that hear-
ing, the fraternity will still be
recognized by the national fra-
ternity although the IFC no
longer does.
If Phi Kappa Theta loses its
charter, the national fraternity
will work with the alumni and
the University Administration to
determine the best time for the
charter to be reinstated, Lampe
said.
The national fraternity does
not expect residents of the
house to vacate if it removes Phi
Kappa Thetas charter.
They are not going to be
moved into the street tonight,
Lampe said.
Since the event, Phi Kappa
Theta has scheduled alcohol
education seminars for this
semester. Every member is
required to attend at least two,
Moreno said in a statement.
Moreno would not comment
further about the appeal or the
IFCs decision.

Tax season is here again
This April, students will be sending
their W-2s to the Internal Revenue
Service, or at least to their parents.
Tax season is officially underway
and the deadline for submission of
income tax returns is April 15.
Student returns are generally pretty
easy to file said Nate Miller, H&R
Block accountant.
Costs for tax preparation services
for student returns can vary depend-
ing on whether students have loans,
grants or outside income, and their
method of filing and filing status,
Miller said. Outside income includes
such criteria as stocks and bonds.
Whether students are married, single
or claimed by their parents determines
their filing status. If students returns
have a lot of these criteria, their
returns are considered complex.
The IRS does not offer a direct
method of e-filing, but it offers links to
outside companies on its Web site,
irs.gov, through which individuals
can submit their returns electronical-
ly.
Electronic services have become a
more popular way to file in the last
three years, and the government
encourages people to submit electron-
ically by offering free filing and
resending forms after the first year of
use.
Computer filing through the
Internet offers the option of prepar-
ing taxes at home. The online serv-
ice asks a series of questions and the
users answers are filled into the
return.
My wife and I have telefiled in the
past but the internet filing just runs
you right through it, Yancy
Dominick, Helena, Mont., graduate
student, said. This is going to be the
first year we are going to do it.
Internet filing can be free depend-
ing on the complexity of the return.
The IRS allows private companies to
offer filing services on its Web site.
Most companies offer free returns,
depending on the complexity of the
return.
Those who want similar comforts
can telefile, which is a free service
offered by the IRS. People fill out the
regular tax forms and call the IRS hot-
line, which asks automated questions
for the numbers on the forms.
I have telefiled for the past two
years, Evan Kreider, Potsdam, N.Y.,
graduate student, said. It took me an
hour to fill out the forms and call
them in, and the next year the govern-
ment sent me the paperwork I need-
ed.
Although the government has made
strides to help the average person do
his own taxes, many students still
depend on their parents.
Eventually I would like to do my
own taxes, said Erin Wiley, Silver
Lake sophomore. But since they do it
for me, I might as well let them.
Many parents prepare their chil-
drens taxes so they can claim them as
dependents, Miller said.
Students who do their own taxes
often believe they can get a school
credit on their taxes, Miller said.
However, they dont get this credit if
their parents are claiming them.
H&R Blocks beginning cost is $64
for the most simple returns, which do
not include an outside outcome or
have a married status. The price rises
as the return becomes more expen-
sive.
The final option is to fill out the
forms and send them to the IRS by
mail. People can retrieve the forms
from the IRS Web site and fill them
out themselves.
Anyone can fill out their forms,
Miller said. But unless you know all
the deductions you can receive and
how to go about putting them in, you
can lose money.

HEALTH
Global health deteriorating
Global public health is decreasing
at an alarming rate because the
wealthy countries of the world are not
putting in enough effort to relieve the
welfare and disease epidemics occur-
ring in third-world countries, said
Laurie Garrett, a member of the
Council on Foreign Relations.
We are facing the disappearance of
entire cultures, if we do not take on
the responsibilities that come with
being a world leader, Garrett said.
Garrett spoke about the inadequate
efforts of the worlds leading countries
to aid suffering societies in a lecture
hosted by the Self Graduate
Fellowship on the problems in global
health, to more than 300 people last
night last night at the Woodruff
Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Every year, the Self Graduate
Fellowship targets a global issue in
modern society. This years issue is the
state of global public health and the
outbreak of devastation that could
occur if it continues to be ignored,
said Cathy Dwigans, program associ-
ate for the fellowship.
Although the United States, along
with Japan and the
United Kingdom,
have taken on efforts
to help the global
health problems, the
amount of money
and aid being pro-
duced simply isnt
enough. Garrett also
said that despite the
money that poured
in to help victims of
the Dec. 26 tsunami in the Indian
Ocean, Sri Lanka received only $75
million, which was 4 percent of the
promised $8 billion.
Governments want to look like
theyre doing something to help,
Garrett said. Unfortunately many of
the ways help is given is only short-
term.
Garrett said governments needed to
put forth more effort to establish long-
term effects. Around the Indian
Ocean, several outbreaks of malaria,
cholera, dysentery and typhoid have
been a direct result of the inappropri-
ate ways relief was provided to the
tsunami victims, she said.
My concern is how we are going
about dealing with the survivors, to
help control disease outbreaks
caused by all the stagnant water,
Garrett said. We know how to
charge into a place, give a few vacci-
nations, and return home as heroes.
But we fail to follow up on those
vaccinations, therefore making them
ineffective.
Lack of money and political will
renders many people around the
world uneducated about infection
control, and mistakes, such as the use
of dirty needles in hospitals, are being
made, Garrett said.
The fact that the United States is a
leading nation obliges us to be part of
the solution for global health,
Garrett said.
The AIDS epidemic and the air-
borne infection tuberculosis is only
beginning to be felt in Africa, and in
the next decade, the AIDS epidemic
will become the Black Plague of the
21st century, Garrett said.
Garrett proposed that the United
States should focus on sending pre-
ventative measures early, instead of
sending emergency vaccinations after
an outbreak of both AIDS and tuber-
culosis has occurred.
After all, she said, you never
know when an infected person will
board a plane to America.

City to host cycling championship
Adam Mills compares cycling
to a combination of chess and
poker.
You combine position and tac-
tics, Mills, Lawrence graduate stu-
dent, said. You watch everybody,
and the more you see, the better the
odds are that you see a point where
you can win the race.
And this spring the odds are that
Lawrence residents will discover
more about Mills fascination with
cycling.
Mills and other members of the
KU Cycling Club will help host the
National Collegiate Cycling
Association Road National
Championships May 13 to 15 in
Lawrence.
This is the first time the champi-
onship will be held in Lawrence.
The city won the bid, largely because
of its central location in the country,
to host the event from 2005 through
2008.
The three-day competition con-
sists of three different races: a 75-
mile road race, a 1-mile loop course
called a criterium and a team time
trial race.
The KU Cycling Club, the
Lawrence Sports Corporation and
KLM Marketing, of Kansas City,
Mo., submitted the bid and are
planning the competition. The
planning will be finalized over the
next two weeks. Last week, the
Lawrence City Commission
approved a request to close roads
near downtown Lawrence for the
criterium race.
Chris Hess, coach of the KU
Cycling Club, said the criterium
would be the most spectator-friendly
course.
Its a lot of riders in a small
space, he said. Some of the best
riders may not finish the race
because there will be crashes. Its
similar to watching a football
game.
Universities from across the
country will compete in the
championship. About 300 to 400
athletes will participate, said
Andy Phelps, Shawnee senior
and president of the KU Cycling
Club.
Only eight of the 20 members
from the KU Cycling Club will be
allowed to participate in the champi-
onship. Although the club attended
national championships for the last
three years, this will be the first
championship race for several mem-
bers.
Brian Jensen, Bornholm,
Denmark, sophomore, did not travel
with the club to nationals last year
because it was too far away and he
could not afford the trip. He said the
location of the competition was the
only reason he could participate this
year.
With the championship on his
home turf, Jensen can also
familiarize himself with the
courses.
Other people may think the road
race will be flat because its in
Kansas, but its really hilly, Jensen
said. Knowing that helps you know
where to make moves.
Lawrence won the bid for the
competition in December after a
race promoter in Connecticut
backed out of hosting the event.
Traditionally the competition
moves to a different city in a differ-
ent part of the country each year.
But moving and reorganizing every
year is difficult, so USA Cycling,
the national governing organiza-
tion for cycling, decided to keep it
in one city for several years, Phelps
said. Phelps, who also serves on
the governing board for collegiate
cycling, said this was the first time
that USA Cycling has approved a
bid for more than two years in a
single location.
Our goal is to start out with a
bang, Phelps said. We want people
to know that this is a great place for
cycling and a national champi-
onship.
The competition event commit-
tee has finalized approval for all
three race courses. The committee
will officially announce these
courses at a press conference on
Tuesday, March 15, at Sunflower
Outdoor and Bike shop, 802
Massachusetts St.

Student charged
with sexual battery
KU Police arrested a KU stu-
dent late Saturday night on
charges of sexual battery, bat-
tery and criminal damage.
Sometime between 10:35
and 10:45 p.m. a group of indi-
viduals saw a male in KU park-
ing lot 112 by Oliver Hall walk-
ing on cars, said Capt. Schuyler
Bailey, spokesman for the KU
Public Safety Office.
The group confronted the
male. He hit a 19-year-old male
KU student, Bailey said.
The male jumped in a car
occupied by two females KU
students, an 18-year-old and a
19-year-old. The females told
the male to get out of the car,
but as he was getting out, he
touched one of the females on
her breast, Bailey said.
Police arrested the male and
booked him in Douglas County
jail. Records indicated that he
was still in custody yesterday.

Students, faculty
to launch satellite
A group of KU engineering
students and faculty will be the
first ever in Kansas to create a
satellite.
The students expect to
launch a pico-satellite, or a
CubeSat, into orbit at the end of
May.
Were trying to build up a
new capability and new indus-
try with the space program in
Kansas, and this is the first
step, Trevor Sorensen, aero-
space engineering associate
professor, said.
The satellite is a 10-centime-
ter cube that weighs less than
2.2 pounds. The CubeSat will
be launched inside a larger
satellite that will orbit the earth.
The CubeSat will inspect
damage on the larger satellite
and take pictures of earth and
measure radiation in space.
More than 20 students have
worked on the CubeSat for the
past two years of production.

That milk on your cereal in the
morning may be more important than
you think.
Having worked with University of
Kansas students and their diets, Ann
Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health
Center dietician, said that the lack of
milk in student diets was alarming.
Not drinking enough milk can lead to
various calcium deficiency-related dis-
eases, including osteoporosis, she said.
Low bone density and osteoporosis,
a condition where bones become
porous and break very easily, are two
conditions seen about age 50 as a
result of low calcium intake, she said.
I cant tell you how common it is
for students to tell me they dont drink
milk, she said.
Lack of calcium in someones diet
can lead to bone problems later in life,
Chapman said.
Nearly 70 percent of college-age
women and 60 percent of college-age
men dont consume enough calcium,
she said. Women have a higher risk of
getting osteoporosis, she said.
The reasons students dont drink
milk are numerous and different,
Chapman said. Cost, how quickly it
spoils and the fact that many students
dont like the taste are a few reasons
students skip the milk coolers in the
grocery store.
Students dont worry about calcium
intake because it does not affect them
until later in life, she said. By then, it
will be difficult to reduce the damage,
she said.
The University has given students
more beverage choices on campus,
Chapman said.
Dining services in both unions and
in The Underground sell milk. There
are vending machines with Nesquik
dairy products in several campus loca-
tions, she said.
Andy Wolff, Shawnee freshman,
drinks about two glasses of milk a
week. He thinks this could be a prob-
lem in the future.
He drank milk every day when he
was growing up, but the trend hasnt
continued into Wolffs college life.
I cant remember the last time I
had a real breakfast, much less had
milk with one, he said.
Despite knowing the consequences,
Wolff too worried because there is no
immediate physical threat from the
problem.
Though Stacy Lendt, Maryville, Mo.,
graduate student, is also not worried, she
is the opposite of Wolff. She drinks at
least one glass of milk a day. Lendt said
she had always liked dairy products.
Her mom had to tell her to stop
drinking all the milk, she said.
Buying calcium-fortified orange
juice is one way Lendt hopes to avoid
any future bone problems.
She isnt sure how other people will
end up in the future with their bones,
but she said she thinks that the popu-
larity of coffee shops and drinks such
as lattes may ease the problem.

Kansan staff writer
Professor,
literary critic
talks about
experiences
Kansan correspondent Peter Van Auken sat down with
Marc Dambre yesterday afternoon. Dambre, a professor
of contemporary French literature, gave a lecture on
Olivier Rolin and Rolins novel, Tigre en papier, yes-
terday at the Spencer Research Library. Dambre is a
professor of contemporary French literature at
lUniversit de la Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris III. He has
taught at university level in the United States, England
and Tunisia and is on the jury of a major French literary
prize, the Prix Nimier.
Q. You have spent most of your career as a literary
critic. Have you ever had aspirations to write fic-
tion?
A. Yes, early on I considered this, but I felt
that in order to make a career of writing I
would have put writing above all else. This was
not the choice for me because I value other
things as well, such as an intellectual life and a
love life.
Q: Do you have any tips for students who would like to
become more effective writers?
A: First of all, read a lot. Reading and under-
standing what is already there is the first step in
creating something new. Second advice: Practice
writing in the style of your favorite writer.
Imitate writers to understand how they write.
And finally, never let a day pass without writing
at least one line.
Q: What do value most about your experiences
abroad?
A: The experience of diversity, for two reasons:
It develops your critical thinking skills and
develops your generosity toward others. Being
around other cultures allows you to make com-
parisons to your own and also find the common
points of man that lie in all cultures.
Q: Do you have a favorite musician?
A: Yes, the Belgian singer and songwriter
Jacques Brel.

SACKS PERSPECTIVE
GUEST COMMENTARY
SOUZA SAYS
Moderate coffee intake advised
despite recent cancer research
The American Education
System is at its breaking
point, but it hasnt snapped
yet. The pressure on
American schools is enor-
mous, the public school
teachers are bending but have
not broken.
Pressures from higher rates
of immigration, higher and
more diverse demands and an absurd new federal
policy the No Child Left Behind initiative
have brought an almost unbearable weight down
on the public schools.
To make matters worse, everyone has leaped
onto the proverbial bandwagon and ruthlessly
criticized the supposed failing public school sys-
tem.
Extreme right-wingers have even begun to
whisper thoughts about privatizing education
altogether, President George W. Bushs No Child
Left Behind platform is seemingly the first step for
this nightmare to come true.
To wealthy suburbanites, the privatization of
education may not seem like a bad idea com-
petition breeds better product, right? The problem
will rise not in suburbia, but as seems to always be
the case, in the urban areas. Who in their capital-
istic right mind would open a school in a poor,
violent area?
It takes more resources, people and money to
make school work in that environment. And the
parents and guardians will be incapable of paying
as much money to these schools.
More cost, more risk and less profit does
that make sense to you Mr. American business-
man?
A continued push toward privatizing education
will only further the gap between rich and poor;
the educated and uneducated; the satisfied and
beleaguered.
Although, with the Kansas Republican plat-
form calling for a flat tax, the abolition of taxes
on capital gains money you make when you
sell stock and the abolition of the estate tax, it
seems that a wide gap between rich and poor may
be what the Republicans are shooting for. Too
bad the poor farmers of Kansas cant figure that
out.
Now that we have that crazy thought of private
education out of our minds, lets focus on the pub-
lic schools.
I always hear about the
failing American schools, the
high school graduates who
cant add or read, the test
scores that are ranking far
below Japan and Korea.
A Sandia National
Laboratories report finds
that the high school comple-
tion rate is more than 90 per-
cent and growing and one in four adult
Americans has a bachelor degree both the
highest rates in our nations history.
Fingers point to lower SAT verbal scores now
than in 1975, the difference can be chiefly attrib-
uted to the higher percentage of lower-ranking
students taking the test.
If the same population took the SAT now, as
did in 1975 the scores would be significantly high-
er, reports Sandia Laboratories. The fact that math
scores have continued to rise despite the influx of
lower-ranking students is a sign that the math
skills of todays children are a great deal higher
than in the past.
American test scores are lower than those in
Japan, Korea, Taiwan and elsewhere, but making
cross-cultural comparisons can be misleading.
Many countries, especially in Asia and Europe,
begin specialized education at much younger ages
14, or even 11.
That means many students have already left
school when these comparisons are taking place.
Special education programs in other countries are
not part of the school system. This also helps
these countries test scores compare favorably.
American public schools are doing just fine, for
now.
The imposed federal policy has handcuffed the
teachers in America, but they are managing to
keep our childrens heads above water. If we can
find a way for No Child Left Behind to be
scrapped or get the Republicans out of office, the
children of the future might have an opportunity
to survive.
Ill be a public school teacher in six months, so
you white-collar conservative, stop pointing your
plastic finger at me. Its your government thats
going to make our kids stupid, not me.

Now this caffeine-crazed
nation can enjoy its coffee in
peace. Finally, the Starbucks
addicts can relish their frapacci-
nos. Office coffee pots are once
again in use. All this because of
a recent study that proved a
health benefit of coffee.
According to an article by
the Associated Press that
appeared on cnn.com, a study of 90,000 Japanese
showed that those who drank coffee nearly every
day had half the risk of liver cancer than those
who did not drink coffee.
Considering that the American Cancer Society
estimates that 18,920 new cases of liver cancer
were diagnosed in the United States last year and
it caused the deaths of 14,270 people, these
results could mean a potential lifestyle change for
those worried about the disease.
In other words, people should soon be buying
coffee pots. This discovery has great possibilities,
and scientists are busy with follow-up studies.
However, people should not go crazy with these
findings.
Sure, this means that coffee has been proven to
be somewhat healthy. But that does not mean that
a persons normal intake should increase at all
and that five mochas a day
has been approved. In fact,
too much coffee can lead to
some serious health risks.
For example, CNN med-
ical correspondent Linda
Ciampa reported in a large
intake of coffee, more than
three cups a day, can have a
negative effect on female fer-
tility.
It may also play a role in early labor during
pregnancy. Also, the caffiene in coffee is a non-
addictive stimulant that it habit forming.
And, according to the American Dietetic
Association, excessive caffeine intake can cause
the jitters, anxiety and insomnia. There is not one
person that would want to encounter sleepless
nights just for a caramel latte.
If a person likes coffee, drinks it on a regular
basis, nothing is stopping her. But if that person is
on his third cup and it is not yet 10 a.m., she should
know that she has the potential for some side effects
as well.
Just remember to keep it in moderation.

Who lives in a pineapple
under the sea?
According to the Christian
activist group, Focus on the
Family, no one suitable for
family values-centered televi-
sion.
In the hottest scandal since
the Tinky Winky the gay
Teletubby allegations,
Spongebob SquarePants is under scrutiny by
Christian activists, including James Dobson of the
Focus on the Family organization. Spongebobs
supposed homosexuality in the We Are Family
Foundations new music video, a remake of the
70s hit song by Sister Sledge, We Are Family.
The video, which demonstrates to children the
importance of togetherness embodied in the word
family, will be distributed to 61,000 public and
private elementary schools in the United States
on March 11, in celebration of the proposed
National We Are Family Day, We Are Family
Foundations Web site said.
But family values activist Ed Vitagliano, news
editor of the Anerican Family Association
Journal, a monthly publication of the American
Family Association, insists that a short step
beneath the surface reveals that one of the differ-
ences being celebrated is homosexuality.
Other organizations in uproar about the moral
slippage include the American Decency
Association and the Parents Television Council.
SpongeBob refused to comment on any of these
allegations.
But does it really matter if SpongeBob is giving
it to Sandy or taking it from Patrick? And because
sponges dont have sexual organs or sexuality
for that matter one must wonder, seeing how
absorbent and porous and yellow is he, as his
theme song says, could he be the victim of sexual
abuse from the dominating Mr. Krabs or the con-
descending Squidward?
Next in the cartoon worlds scandalous news,
Peter Griffin, father on the show Family Guy,
suffered attacks when he dared to show a bare
bottom in the shows family-valued plot.
The faux pas caused uproar
at the Federal
Communications Commission
and the nude derriere was
blurred when the episode
aired. The Federal
Communications Commission
is everywhere, taking over the
entertainment industry.
CBS lost a shot of a naked
mans backside as he ran down the street in
Without a Trace. NBC obscured shots of an 80-
year-old womans breast during ER. ABC aired
the Academy Awards on a time lapse for the first
time last year.
CBS slapped a five-minute video delay on last
years Grammys. Fox is appealing a $1.2 million
indecency fine proposed by the FCC last year for
a 2003 episode of Married by America that fea-
tured whipped-cream covered strippers and digi-
tally obscured nudity.
The Focus on the Family group is pushing con-
gress to take some control over this media mad-
ness, but the governments authority to police
indecency is restricted to broadcast radio and tel-
evision only not cable or satellite from 6 a.m.
to 10 p.m.
Has the FCC become the new Mother for
America? Are parents really that scared that their
children will start to emulate the immoral
SpongeBob SquarePants, the King of the Krabby
Patties, rather than the wholesome Britney
Spears, the Queen of Pop and 12-hour marriages?
Have the baby boomers, the ones that marched
on Washington for equal rights and liberty in the
early 1970s, really become so anally retentive
about shielding the real world and the humor
within it from their kids?
There must be dangers of corruption every-
where, even in pineapples under the sea. Tune in
next week for the next outrageous scandal:
Barneys hit I Love You song actually promotes
promiscuity and unprotected sex.

in their second face-off and has
held opponents to six points
less.
Theyve done a good job
making some adjustments,
Henrickson said. Fortunately,
Ive got great assistant coaches
and staff to break down the
tape."
Another source of momen-
tum was the teams performance
in the regular season finale,
Henrickson said. Although the
Iowa State Cyclones defeated
the Jayhawks 61-52, Kansas
answered with scoring runs and
forced a tie late in the contest.
Despite Kansas confidence
entering the third match-up
with Missouri, Henrickson said
there was no reason for the
Jayhawks to overlook their rival.
Were not going to walk
around and think we can win
just because we beat them
twice, Henrickson said.
Kemp will also be ready for
the Tigers and expects the same
attitude from the first-round
foe.
Theyve lost to us two times
in a row, Kemp said. And you
know its the border war.
Todays game at Municipal
Auditorium, in Kansas City,
Mo., offers the Jayhawks a
chance to win their fourth game
out of the last five in the series.
A victory would also earn
Kansas its 13th victory of the
season, the most since the 1999-
2000 campaign.
If Kansas does pass its first
test in the tournament, No. 1
seed Baylor looms in the future,
a spectacle that does not faze a
Kansas team which played the
No. 6 team to within 10 points.
If we win, we definitely
want to give Baylor a run for
their money, Kemp said.
Edited by Ashley Bechard
The Jayhawks needs to seri-
ously address some issues. Until
they do, they have absolutely no
chance of contending for any
postseason titles.
Langfords absence should
have put more emphasis on
Wayne Simien in the paint.
Unfortunately, the Jayhawks
settled for too many bad shots
instead of running the offense
through Simien. Simien always
seems to get it done. In the
Oklahoma State game last
Sunday, easily the Jayhawks
best game of the season, Simien
scored a career-high 32 points.
Kansas shot 25 threes on
Sunday, making only seven.
Thats far too many outside
shots for a team that boasts one
of the nations most polished
power forwards.
The biggest knock on this
team all season has been its lack
of offensive consistency.
On Sunday, this continued to
be a problem. There is no offen-
sive unity on this team if anyone
other than Langford, Simien,
Aaron Miles and Christian
Moody is on the floor. If others,
including the freshmen and sen-
ior Mike Lee, are playing the
team doesnt score and they dont
play together. The freshmen
always look confused and out of
position. Rarely do the other guys
off the bench jel with the starters.
It looks like this team is just start-
ing to practice, not preparing for
postseason play.
Kansas needs to practice the
fundamentals of running its
offense this week before facing
the winner of the Texas A&M-
Kansas State game Friday. This
includes getting the ball to
Simien early and often, sharing
the ball and taking smart shots.
In the Texas game earlier in
the season, arguably Kansas
most complete performance of
the season, the team had 24
assists. In those games, the
Jayhawks did what they needed
to do, putting themselves in the
best position to win. Thats some-
thing that they havent done con-
sistently all season. Theyve got-
ten lucky winning games in
which they didnt play well, but
now, its win or go home.
It will take nearly perfect
performances from here on out
if Kansas expects to make deep
postseason runs. Theyll need
to play together, play smart,
play tough, and show more
heart than the other guy. Itll be
tough, but this team is capable
of doing that. The senior class
is great, probably one of the
best this University has ever
seen, but theyll need help from
Moody, J.R Giddens and the
freshmen. Theres still time for
Kansas to find its best basket-
ball, but if they dont find it
soon, their season will be over.

Bus

year bus pass, but she said she
hadnt used it since about
September. The St. Louis fresh-
man and Naismith Hall resident,
said she was continuously late
for class when she rode the bus.
It was a waste, Kanter said.
I stopped taking the bus
because I could never get on it,
and Id end up spending more
time waiting for the bus than it
would take me to walk.
Kanter said she would ride
the bus again if it was faster than
walking.
The Transportation Board
voted to add another bus to the
Naismith/Oliver-GSP route and
cut the hours from Jayhawk
Express on Feb. 15, Bengston
said.
Jayhawk Express ridership
averaged 128 students each day
in December versus an average
of 504 students each day who
rode the Naismith/Oliver-GSP
route.
We didnt want to scale
down completely, but taking the
hours from the Jayhawk Express
made the most sense, said
Anton Bengston, chairman of
the Transportation Board.
After consulting the Lawrence
Bus Company, the board deter-
mined that the Jayhawk Express
was among the least used. Only
the Night Campus Express had
fewer riders.
After the student bus hearings
during the last two weeks, the
Transportation Board is consid-
ering eliminating the Jayhawk
Express entirely.
Were trying to keep our
bases covered in a financially
responsible manner, Bengston
said.
If the Jayhawk Express is
eliminated, the Transportation
Board has a plan to transport
students on campus.
We would have a current
route reworked, Bengston said.
The route would go to the
places the Jayhawk Express
goes, but it would not be a free
bus.
It would make the most sense
to re-route it to an area with a
greater number of students with
greater need, but the decision is
ultimately up to the
Transportation Board, he said.
The Transportation Board will
meet on March 15 to discuss and
finalize the routes for next year
including the option of making
the extra bus on the
Naismith/Oliver-GSP route per-
manent.
If the Jayhawk Express was
eliminated, Blake Huff, trans-
portation coordinator for KU on
Wheels, said a pay-only bus
wouldnt bring in much extra
money because fares were a
small part of the revenue.

Kansan picks players for own honor roll
Now that the Big 12 Mens
Basketball season is fin-
ished, its time to hand
out awards.
The University
Daily Kansan
doesnt have hard-
ware to hand out,
but we are honoring
the conferences most
deserving basketball
players by immortalizing their
names in todays paper.
Mens basketball writers
Miranda Lenning and Kellis
Robinett, along with sports edi-
tor Bill Cross and associate
sports editor Jonathan Kealing,
voted on the teams.
Player of the year: Wayne Simien,
Kansas
The senior forward led the
Big 12 in scoring, rebounding
and double doubles, but
because of a mid-season injury
he only locked up the leagues
top honor after his 32-point
game against Oklahoma State.
Newcomer of the year: Taj Gray,
Oklahoma
Gray, a junior college trans-
fer, thrived this season. The jun-
ior forward topped the Big 12 in
field goal percentage and
blocked shots.
Freshman of the year: Daniel
Gibson, Texas
The Longhorns lost two start-
ers early in the conference sea-
son, but still managed to finish
with an above .500 league mark.
Gibson, a guard, was the main
reason. He averaged nearly 15
points a game, and had the best
single game freshman perform-
ance by recording 27 points and
10 rebounds against Oklahoma
State.
Coach of the year: Billy Gillispie,
Texas A&M
The job Gillispie did with the
Aggies in his first year is remark-
able. He took a team that went
0-16 in league play a year ago
and turned it into an NIT team.
Basketball has never been pop-
ular in College Station, Texas,
but Reed Arena drew several
sell out crowds this season.
Gillispie may also be the nation-
al coach of the year.
Sixth man of the year:
Johnnie Gilbert, Oklahoma
The senior forward plays only
17 minutes a game, but he
always seems to give the
Sooners a spark. At 6-foot-8,
228 pounds, he gives Oklahoma
a solid defender.
Clutch performer of the year:
Keith Langford, Kansas
When the Jayhawks needed a
bucket, coach Bill Self gave the
ball to Langford. His driving
ability is difficult to stop, and he
takes his game to a higher level
when the game is on the
line.
Defensive player of
the year: Kevin
Bookout, Oklahoma
A 259-pound sen-
ior forward,
Bookout, doesnt fear
fouls. With the confi-
dence to take risks on
defense, Bookout has become a
legitimate stopper.
Most surprising player of the
year: Ronald Ross, Texas Tech
It was close, but Ross edged
out Kansas junior forward
Christian Moody. They were
both recruited as walk-ons, but
Ross is the leader for a Texas
Tech team that defeated Kansas.
Most disappointing player of
the year: J.R. Giddens, Kansas
and P.J. Tucker, Texas
These players split the
award for very different rea-
sons. Giddens went into a
shooting slump and failed to
score against Oklahoma State
last week. Tucker was ruled
academically ineligible and sat
out most of the conference
season.
Player with best hair:
Jeremiah Massey, Kansas State
Massey wins more by default
than anything else.
First Team:
1. Wayne Simien, Kansas
What a surprise. Dub makes
it on the Big 12s first team after
winning player of the year. He
was a unanimous selection.
2. John Lucas, Oklahoma State
Heres another unanimous
first teamer. The senior guard
led the Cowboys in assists,
with just more than five a
game, and also averaged 18
points a contest. He is quick
and has good vision. He also
shoots lights out.
3. Joey Graham, Oklahoma State
The last unanimous choice
by the Kansan committee. The
senior forward averaged near-
ly 18 points a game and made
more than half his three-point
attempts. He was also the Big
12s best free-throw shooter.
4. Antoine Wright, Texas A&M
Wright finally showed the
potential, which made him a
blue chip high school recruit.
He scored more than 17 points a
game. His best game came at
Colorado, where he scored 32
points and led Texas A&M to its
first conference road win.
5. Aaron Miles, Kansas
Miles doesnt have the
flashiest stats, other than his
league leading seven assists per
game, but he brings unmatched
leadership to the court. He has
been instrumental in several vic-
tories this season and made the
key play in a victory against
Oklahoma State.
Second Team:
1. Jeremiah Massey, Kansas State
The senior forward was con-
stantly double-teamed, but he
always managed to fight
through it. He averaged 18
points and seven rebounds a
contest. In a game against
Colorado, he scored 28 points
and pulled down 19 rebounds.
2. Taj Gray, Oklahoma
The newcomer of the year
finds himself on our second
team, despite receiving a vote
for first team honors.
3. Curtis Stinson, Iowa State
The sophomore guard had a
breakout season. By averaging
more than 17 points and three
assists, he led the Cyclones to a
possible tournament berth.
4. Keith Langford, Kansas
Easily the best second half
player in the conference.
Unfortunately, the senior guard
didnt always tear it up in the
first period. He averaged 15
points a game.
5. Ronald Ross, Texas Tech
Ross finished the year as the
conferences leader in steals. He
also finished eighth in scoring.
He averaged 17 points and 5
rebounds per game. The senior
guard was Techs best player.
Third Team:
1. Daniel Gibson, Texas
Our freshman of the year
found his way onto one of our
grown-up teams as well.
2. Aaron Bruce, Baylor
He finished league play as
the second-best scorer. He
averaged nearly 19 points a
game. His 33-point effort
against Oklahoma State was
the highest single-game mark
of the season.
3. Jarrius Jackson, Texas Tech
By averaging more than 14
points a game the sophomore
guard became a valuable asset.
He came through for the Red
Raiders in several games, and
his 32-point game at
Oklahoma earned him third
team honors.
4. Acie Law, Texas A&M
Laws appearance on our
third team is proof that long
shots can come home. Law
scored more than 20 points a
few times this season, but his
passing got the most attention.
He finished behind only Miles
in the assist column, and dished
out a conference-high 14 assists
against Missouri.
5. Terrell Everett, Oklahoma
The junior guard finished the
season second to Miles in
assists, in conference. The
Sooners arent known for scor-
ing, but Everett got the ball to
his teammates.
Honorable Mention:
Joseph Jones, Texas A&M
CBSSportsline.com ranks
the freshman as the third-best
center in the country.
Jared Homan, Iowa State
The senior helped Iowa State
to a seven game winning streak.
Linas Kleiza, Missouri
Has the talent to be on one of
the above teams, but was
benched for part of the season
because of disciplinary reasons.
Jason Klotz, Texas
The senior forward was a
solid low post presence.
Richard Roby, Colorado
Averaged more than 17
points a game, and led team to
four conference victories.
Kevin Bookout, Oklahoma
Our defensive player of
the year couldnt quite make
it on one of our top three
teams.
Will Blalock, Iowa State
The sophomore is a
solid defender who can
also pass.
Ivan McFarlin,
Oklahoma State
The guard aver-
aged more than
12 points a
game.
Freshmen Team:
1. Daniel Gibson, Texas
The only player
honored three times
by the Kansan.
2. Aaron Bruce, Baylor
Bruce also
makes all fresh-
men team.
3. Joe McCray,
Nebraska
Av e r a g e d
more than 15
points a game
for the
Huskers.
4. Richard Roby,
Colorado
No honor-
able mention
this time. Roby is
one of the leagues
five best fresh-
men.
5. JamesOn Curry,
Oklahoma State
Opponent s
are already
wishing North
Carolina kept
him.
Jayhawk Killers:
1. Curtis Stinson, Iowa State
Hit the game-winner
against Kansas, along with 29
points.
2. Darryl Dora, Texas Tech
Made a fade away three
pointer that sent Kansas into a
three game tail spin.
3. John Lucas, Oklahoma State
Only missed two shots in a
22-point effort against the
Jayhawks.
4. Joe McCray, Nebraska
His 19 points and seven
rebounds nearly gave Nebraska
an upset victory at Allen
Fieldhouse.
5. Jimmy McKinney, Missouri
Made three-pointers to
give Missouri first home vic-
tory against Kansas in four
years.

Todays Birthday Planning is required
this year, and do all the paperwork,
too. Meet the requirements and get
the credentials and youll naturally
advance.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
You like to be the first in line, way
ahead of the pack. You have to admit,
however, you depend on your techni-
cians. Show your appreciation.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7.
Theres plenty of work now, but in-
pocket you wont see much for a while.
Youre stashing away treasure for the
future. Dont waste any time complain-

Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an
8. Wonderful things are happening.
Youre right in the middle of the excite-
ment. In fact, you may be an instigator.
Surprising? Hardly.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 6.
Can you afford to take that trip that
youve been dreaming about? Can you
afford to invite along a daring and bold
companion? How about if you split the
costs? Stranger things have happened.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6.
Love seems to be unpredictable, but
that doesnt have to be true. You can
affect the outcome by giving your
word, and then keeping it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7.
Lay out all the puzzle pieces and take
your time putting them together. Its
better to get the job done right than to

fix it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7
Youre a dreamer, and you can sure fall

7. Finishing old tasks is profitable now.
Dig through that stack of paperwork
and mail in the coupons and rebates.
Find the hidden treasures.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7.
Accepting an invitation proves to be
quite interesting. If you dont get one
by mid-morning, instigate the date
yourself.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7.
Youre naturally a visionary, something
of a prophet. You get a lot of your best
material while you're sound asleep.
Take notes.

The womens basketball teams
chances for running the table in the
Big 12 Tournament are probably
slim. If it cant, the season will prob-
ably not last past the weekend.
While five other league teams will
probably make the NCAA
Tournament, Kansas will not, bar-
ring a tournament title. So what is
there to play for?
This is our postseason, Kansas
coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
And the postseason starts today,
with a noon tip-off against No. 9
seed Missouri, 10-17 (4-12 Big 12).
Even though the winner of the game
will potentially face Baylor, the regu-
lar season Big 12 champion, the
players still see prestige in the tour-
nament coming from playing, and
winning a game or two.
Were playing like this is our
NCAA Tournament, junior guard
Erica Hallman said. Were going to
go out hard, try to get some wins and
go as far as we can."
With the brief season just get-
ting under way, Kansas will have
quite a bit of work ahead.
Its really about doing what we
did all year, Henrickson said.
All they did this year was sweep
the Missouri Tigers, including a 60-
42 victory on Feb. 5 in Columbia,
Mo. The second contest with
Missouri featured an improved per-
formance by Kansas, 12-15 (5-11 Big
12), in which a torrid start led to an
18-2 lead early in the game.
Junior forward Crystal Kemp said
she was sure the team would have a
solid performance.
The third time were going to
make it even better, Kemp said.
Kemps confidence is well-found-
ed, as the Jayhawks have routinely
played better against their oppo-
nents during the second season
meeting. On average, Kansas has
scored nine points more
in their second face-off and has held

Langfords ankle not broken
Exhale, Kansas fans. Keith
Langfords ankle is not broken.
Whether he will play in the
Big 12 Tournament this week-
end, though, is still questionable.
Kansas coach Bill Self con-
firmed yesterday that the ankle
was not cracked or fractured.
Langfords progress after going
through rehabilitation this week
will determine his status for this
weekend.
It is a severe sprain that will
allow him, hopefully, to rehab
this week, Self said. Well
evaluate this weekend whether
he can play. He thinks he can,
and we hope that he can, but
that remains to be seen. He is
not lost for the season, which
the medical staff originally
thought could be the case.
Langford originally hurt his
left ankle in practice March 3
and had not worked out with
the team before playing
Missouri. He re-injured the
ankle in the opening minutes of
Saturdays 72-68 loss at
Missouri. After driving the lane
for a lay-up and drawing the
foul, he fell on the foot of
Missouris Brian Dailey. He did
not return for the rest of the
game.
Self said Langford would be
on crutches for the rest of the
week. He said he didnt know
whether he would play
Langford this weekend or allow
him more time to get ready for
the NCAA Tournament.
There is a chance that he
could play this weekend, but
there is also a great chance that
we will hold him out, too,
because we want him to be 100
percent next week, Self said.
If he can get to the point where
he is 80 or 90 percent than we
will play him. If not, then we
will definitely hold him out.
If that is the case, Self said
senior guard Mike Lee would
start in place of Langford. Lee
replaced J.R. Giddens in the
starting lineup on Sunday, but
Self said Giddens would start
whether Langford played.
Giddens scored 13 points
against the Tigers while Lee
went scoreless in his 24 minutes.
Self also said junior guard Jeff
Hawkins would have to step up
in Langfords absence.
Hawkins eight points and
defensive intensity helped the
Jayhawks stay in Sundays
game, Self said.
Self was forced to put in
some players who havent seen
a lot of minutes recently.
Freshman guard Russell
Robinson played 11 minutes on
Sunday, and freshman forward
Alex Galindo played 12 min-
utes. In Kansas last eight
games, Robinson has played a
combined 12 minutes, while
Galindo has played 32.
We picked a bad time, when
Keith went out, to have guys not
used to playing, Self said. We
just need guys to step up and be
players like they are. We are
capable of that. I dont really
know where we will turn to yet.
Keith is such a big part of what
we do, but I know we wont
change much.

Seniors rehabilitation will determine
status for weekends Big 12 Tournament
The Jayhawks loss to the
Missouri Tigers cost them the
outright Big 12 Conference
title. Instead, they share the
title with the Oklahoma
Sooners. Because the Sooners
defeated them on Feb. 21 in
the head-to-head matchup, the
Sooners will receive a No. 1
seed in the conference tourna-
ment.
As the No. 2 seed, Kansas
will still receive a first-round
bye, meaning they dont have to
play on Thursday. Kansas will
play the winner of the Kansas
State and Texas A&M game at
6 p.m. on Friday at Kemper
Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
If they win that game, the
Jayhawks will most likely have
to beat the No. 3-seeded
Oklahoma State Cowboys on
Saturday to advance to
Sundays championship game.
Kansas coach Bill Self said
that would have to be the sce-
nario if the Jayhawks wanted
to be considered for a No. 1
seed in the NCAA
Tournament. Kansas still has a
chance for a top seed after
three other top 10 teams,
Illinois, Kentucky and Duke,
lost Sunday. A large portion of
NCAA seeding will be based
on this weekends conference
tournaments.
Self said the Jayhawks had a
lot of work to do and would
need more upsets like the ones
on Sunday to gain a No. 1 seed.
It means a lot for me and
for our players too, but the
reality of that is we are on the
outside looking in big time. We
would probably have to win
our tournament to have a shot
at that, he said. It is a goal,
but it cant be our immediate
goal.

Offensive
unity needed
for victories
The Kansas mens basketball team left Mizzou
Arena Sunday afternoon with more unanswered
questions about the state of this team than at any
point this season.
When will this team start playing as a cohesive
offensive unit? When will the freshmen big men
step up? Where is the toughness and heart that
guided this team to gritty wins earlier in the sea-
son? When will they start playing consistently?
I dont care that Sundays game was in
Columbia, Mo., and it was a rivalry game.
Kansas never should have lost that game.
Missouri is an underachieving, less talented team
than Kansas. The Missouri Tigers are a bad team,
and there is no excuse for losing that type of game
as the Jayhawks prepare to make runs in the Big
12 and NCAA Tournaments.
Dont tell me that Keith Langfords absence
was the reason they lost. Yes, Langfords ankle
injury was a factor, but Kansas had a chance late
in the game to take the lead and didnt. I dont
want to hear about Missouri going eight-for-10
from behind the arc in the first half. They missed
all eight of their three-point attempts in the sec-
ond half.
