His older brother, Noah, is on the
football team at Kansas State. The coach
who recruited him to Kansas recently left
for Wisconsin. Neither of those factors
deterred Phillip Strozier from signing his
letter of intent to play football for the Jay-
hawks.
Yesterday, football coach Mark Mangi-
no announced the signing of 21 high
school football players 11 on offense
and 10 on defense. ESPN.com has this re-
cruiting class ranked No. 36 in the country, the
best since Mangino arrived in Lawrence.
Strozier, a defensive back out of
Rockhurst High School in Kansas City,
Mo., and a rivals.com three-star re-
cruit, said he felt most comfortable at
Kansas.
Its close to home and the program
is on the rise. Its also a great academic
school, he said.
Strozier said he felt no pressure to sign
with Kansas State even though his broth-
er was in the program.
He said he wanted it to be my deci-
sion, Strozier said.
When former Kansas recruiting coor-
dinator Dave Doeren left for Wisconsin
during break, Strozier was still set on
Kansas.
Coach Doeren called me and ex-
plained the situation. I wish him the best
of luck, Strozier said.
Mangino said after Strozier commit-
ted, there was no wavering on his part.
Stroziers high school teammate, line-
backer Sal Capra, also inked his name
with the Jayhawks. Capra has been com-
pared to 2005 starter Kevin Kane, who
also played at Rockhurst. Mangino said
Capra was bigger than Kane coming out
of high school.
Mangino said he had always respected
Rockhurst for developing quality football
players. At Oklahoma, Mangino recruit-
ed Brandon Shelby, who was a running
back and defensive back at Rockhurst
and became a valuable nickel back for
the Sooners.
With three graduating cornerbacks,
Mangino said Strozier and fellow signee
Anthony Webb would have an opportu-
nity to start next season.
Nobody has a job penciled in stone
opposite Aqib Talib, Mangino said.
The recruiting class stretches all across
the country, with nine recruits from Tex-
as, three from Kansas, three from Okla-
homa, two from Missouri, two from Flor-
ida, one from Colorado and one from
California.
Mangino said that the team was
thin at quarterback and that recruit
Todd Reesing, who was currently en-
rolled at Kansas, would get snaps dur-
ing spring drills.
Mangino said Reesing was similar to
former Jayhawk quarterback Bill Whitte-
more with his ability to fnd passing lanes
despite his height of 5 feet 11 inches.
Another player who will add depth at
quarterback is Tyler Lawrence, a quarter-
back from Shawnee Mission West High
School in Overland Park. Mangino said
Lawrence tore it up in summer camp
and was from right in Kansas backyard.
That will make him a familiar face next
fall for some students.
Brady Ingalls, Shawnee junior, said he
remembered playing with Lawrence dur-
ing his senior year, when Lawrence was
a freshman.
Everyone called him Sunshine be-
cause he had hippy long hair and he
was a lefty, Ingalls said. Ingalls said
the nickname was in reference to the
quarterback in the flm Remember the
Titans and that Lawrence was not the
biggest fan of the nickname his team-
mates gave him.
Another notable recruit was running
back Jake Sharp from Salina Central in
Salina. Mangino said Sharps frst step
would be as a special teams contributor.
He is speedy and quick. He is also a
hard-nosed, tough kid, Mangino said.

Hall changes
alcohol policy
By rachel Parker
rparker@kansan.com
kansanstaff writer
Naismith Hall dismissed
its lax alcohol policy and en-
forced new regulations to pre-
vent unlawful drinking.
At a mandatory residence
hall meeting on Jan. 25, a rep-
resentative from the property
owner, AIMCO University
Communities, told students
that no open drinks would be
allowed after 10 p.m.
Undercover officers from
the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
trol would also be allowed on
the property to give Breatha-
lyzer tests at any given time.
A red cup policy has been
the traditional standard for
the hall, in which students
could drink an open beverage
at any time as long as alco-
holic beverages were not vis-
ible or identifiable.
Kimmy Lear, Minneapolis,
Minn., freshman and Nai-
smith resident, said the meet-
ing addressed complaints
from students that provoked
the administration to buckle
down.
Lear also said that resident
assistants had repeatedly is-
sued warnings and write ups
to residents for noise in the
late-night hours and damages
to residence hall property.
Lear didnt have any per-
sonal complaints, however.
I never thought it was that
out of control, she said.

In Ron Johnsons 19 years as a
custodial specialist, he has seen
students use elevators as rest-
rooms, set fre to his trash cans
and leave cow droppings as gifts.
But the occasional student
shenanigan does not bother
Johnson. Every Sunday through
Thursday at 10:30 p.m. Johnson
walks into Anschutz Library with
a friendly smile, ready to tidy up
the carnage left behind by thou-
sands of studying students.
I just come in every night
and do my thing, he said.
Johnson has worked at An-
schutz Library for the last fve
years but has worked in numer-
ous buildings on campus. The list
of buildings in which Johnson has
worked includes Budig Hall, Ma-
lott Hall, Robinson Center and
Wescoe Hall, or at least he thinks.
When youve been around as
long as I have, you tend to forget
where you have been and how long
you were there, Johnson joked.
When asked about the more
unusual messes left at the library,
even Johnson couldnt help grin-
ning while recalling some of the
more bizarre incidents.
One night Johnson was going
about his work when he found
a fresh, large cow chip neatly
placed on top of a newspaper in
the rear wing of the library. An-
other memorable event was the
time he had to clean urine stains
from an Anschutz elevator.
Johnson also had to assume the
role of a freman one night in Ma-
lott Hall when a student made the
mistake of putting metabolic so-
dium in a trash can, which caused
the cans contents to catch fre.

Gale Agrawal will be the frst
woman to serve as the dean
of the KU School of Law. She
was named the new dean on
Wednesday and will start July 1.
Agrawal is currently interim
dean at the University of North
Carolina law school. Early in
her career, she served as a law
clerk to former Supreme Court
Justice, Sandra Day OConnor.
Agrawal will be replacing Mi-
chael Davis, professor of law,
who was serving as interim dean.
Davis replaced Stephen McAl-
lister, professor of law, when
McAllister resigned as dean and
returned to teaching in August.
Agrawal looked at several
other schools before choosing
the University of Kansas.
I love the feeling here,
Agrawal said. Theres such a
great sense of tradition here.
Im very drawn to public law
schools. I feel they are the best
place for learning law.
Agrawal began teaching classes
in health care law and profession-
al ethics at the North Carolina law
school in 1997. At North Caro-
lina, she served
as associate dean
and moved her
way up to interim
dean.
When I sud-
denly became
the interim dean
at North Caro-
lina, I realized
what a difference
I could make,
Agrawal said.
Provost David Shulenburger
said he looked forward to the
changes Agrawal could make at
the University.
She understands research well
and has had corporate experience so
she understands the practice well,
Shulenburger said. She looked at
our law school and said, Youve got
the elements. Shes the right person
at the right time to keep advancing
our great School of Law.
Agrawal plans to leave North
Carolina in May, so she will
have a month to settle in at the
University and fnd a house.
Im looking forward to
working with a faculty that is
absolutely marvelous, talented,
smart and gracious, she said.

After losing six of the its first
eight Big 12 conference games,
including a 50-point loss to
Baylor, how do you think the
KU womens basketball team
(13-6, 2-6) will finish this sea-
son?
1. In the NCAA tournament.
The hardest part of the Big 12
schedule is behind them. It will
end up with a winning con-
ference record and an NCAA
berth.
2. In the NIT. The victory
against Texas was nice, but the
team will struggle to win half
of its remaining games and be
happy to play in the NIT.
3. No postseason at all. The
12-0 start was a product of
good fortune and easy sched-
uling. The Lady Jayhawks will
be lucky to win two or three
more games against a superior
Big 12 conference.

TOPEKA Students, teach-
ers and immigration lawyers
testifed Wednesday before a
House committee about a bill
that would repeal a state law
that gives some undocumented
immigrants a tuition break at
state universities.
The 2004 law allows undocu-
mented immigrants to qualify for
in-state tuition if they attended
a Kansas high school for at least
three years and graduated or
earned a General Educational De-
velopment certifcate in Kansas.
They must also be seeking le-
gal immigration status.
Opponents of the bill to re-
peal the law say forcing im-
migrant students to pay higher
tuition would put college out
of reach for some of the states
brightest students.
Students that work hard
ought to be given every oppor-
tunity, said Reggie Robinson,
president of the Kansas Board
of Regents, who testifed against
the bill. This law is about giv-
ing talented graduates from our
Kansas high schools an oppor-
tunity to contribute to the state
and its economy.
The bills supporters said of-
fering in-state tuition to people
who have violated federal immi-
gration laws will lure more ille-
gal immigrants to Kansas.
This issue has major reper-
cussions for how we deal with
illegal immigrants, said Rep.
Becky Hutchins, R-Holton, who
introduced the bill.
Whats going to be next?
she added. Are we going to give
out drivers licenses?
Cindy Perez, 18, said she
was able to study international
law and business at Pittsburg
State University only because
her family could afford to send
her to school at the discounted
rate.
Its kind of upsetting, said
Perez, who grew up in Olathe,
but whose family is from Chi-
huahua, Mexico. Im just barely
in the door, and suddenly theyre
going to slam it in my face.
As the hearing veered into
discussions about federal im-
migration policy and the chang-
ing racial composition of Kan-
sas towns, legislators said they
wanted to help immigrants but
dont want to encourage people
to come to Kansas illegally.

Senate needs to fll eight positions
By nicole Kelley
nkelley@kansan.com
Kansanstaffwriter
An incomplete Student Senate
held its frst meeting of the semester
last night with eight senator posi-
tions still needing to be flled.
During the meeting, fve names
of the current senators were drawn
out of a cup to form the committee
that will interview the 17 students
who applied for the open spots.
As a senate we want to make
sure every student is represented
and has a voice so we want to make
sure every seat is flled, said Shane
Kucera, Omaha, Neb., senior and
committee chairman.
The following seats are open:
two junior/senior College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences senators, two so-
cial welfare senators, one freshman/
sophomore College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences senator, one off-cam-
pus student senator, one business
student senator and one graduate
student senator.
Now that the committee has
been chosen, the interviewing pro-
cess will begin. Jason Boots, Plano,
Texas, senior and Student Senate
Executive Committee Chairman,
said the new senators should be
chosen in time to attend the next
full meeting in two weeks.
We just really hope they jump
right in, and the sooner they disap-
pear within the crowd and I cant
tell the difference between them
and the old senators, the better,
Boots said.
He said the previous senators left
Student Senate for a variety of rea-
sons, including internships in other
cities and being too busy to fulfll
the job requirements.
Adam Hurly, Sioux Falls, S.D.,
freshman and member of the com-
mittee that will interiew applicants,
said the people who flled the posi-
tions should be able to take a pro-
active stance and understand that
there was more to the job than just
attending regular meetings.
He said they needed to be willing
to write bills, visit meetings of differ-
ent campus organizations and, most
importantly, be open and available
to the students of the University.
Hannah Love, Dodge City soph-
omore and College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences Senator, said the seat
should be flled by someone that
can use the position in a productive
manner.

Four-year-old Rainy Cook vis-
ited Walt Disney World this week,
thanks partly to funds raised by
the University of Kansas chapter
of Chi Omega for the Make-A-
Wish Foundation.
The chapter raised more than
$5,000 in September to pay for
the trip.
We just got an e-mail from
her mom saying theyre at
Disney World right now, Mal-
lory Hammersmith, Chi Omega
president said. Hammersmith
said the members were looking
forward to seeing pictures when
her family returns.
Cook is expected to visit the
house after her trip, but Hammer-
smith said it would be dependent
on Cooks health,
Cook has a cyst on her
brain stem that was too big to
remove, said Jessica Elkouri,
fall philanthropy chairwoman
for Chi Omega. Because of the
cyst, Cook experiences between
eight and 20 seizures every day,
Elkouri said.
Elkouri said raising the money
for Cooks trip was a wonder-
ful experience for everyone
involved.
Both our house and Rainy
beneftted, she said.
Chi Omega has raised more
than $10,000 in the past two
years for Make-A-Wish. In 2004,
the chapter sponsored 8-year-old
Eloras trip to Walt Disney World.
We look forward to doing
it each and every year, Elkouri
said.

TOPEKA Brandy Sacco
fdgeted and fought back tears
as the Rev. Fred Phelps Sr. told
senators why he and his follow-
ers have a legal right to picket
funerals of slain soldiers, such
as her husband.
We cant be lawfully moved
out of sight of our target audi-
ence, Phelps said Wednesday
to the Senate Federal and State
Affairs Committee. You have
no legitimate public interest
here.
In recent months, Phelps and
his Westboro Baptist Church
members have picketed funer-
als of soldiers around the na-
tion, often with placards stat-
ing Thank God for IEDs, and
God Hates America.
Phelps and his church con-
tend U.S. troops are being killed
in Iraq as vengeance from God
for protecting a country that
harbors homosexuals.
The proposed bill says nobody
can picket or have a protest march
within 300 feet of any entrance to
where a funeral service is being
conducted one hour before, dur-
ing or two hours after the service.
The committee heard from nearly
a dozen witnesses but took no ac-
tion on the measure.
The current law says only that
it is illegal to picket before or
about a funeral service. Phelps
said that has been authorita-
tively construed in Topeka to
be 90 feet. Supporters of the bill
say the law is too vague and a
specifc distance is needed.
Similar legislation is being
considered in Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and
West Virginia, all prompted by
Phelps funeral protests.
The bill is invidiously dis-
criminatory against only our
religious message, violates only
our First Amendment rights,
and appears to be the product
of passion, prejudice and pan-
dering targeting only our
church, Phelps said.
He also characterized a military
funeral as a patriotic pep rally and
recruiting depot for the military.
As he talked, Sacco listened,
at times shaking her head in dis-
belief as her husbands wedding
ring hung from a neck chain.
Earlier, she shared her views
about Phelps group after her
husband, Sgt. Dominic Sacco,
32, was killed in November.
They choose to abuse these
rights by harassment of a griev-
ing wife and family. Such a lack
of common decency should not
be protected by law but punish-
able by the law, she said, her
voice at times choking.
The hardest thing I ever had
to do in my life was to listen to
their nonsense, Sacco told re-
porters after the hearing.
As for Phelps saying he was
sharing his religious views, she
said, I didnt ask him to share
his God with me because we
obviously dont have the same
God. Shortly after her husband
was killed she received phone
calls saying he would burn in
hell, she said. The calls stopped
after she fled a complaint with
police, she said.
Also backing the bill was Rep.
Lee Tafanelli, who spent last year
in Iraq as a lieutenant colonel
in charge of a Kansas National
Guard battalion that had two
soldiers killed by enemy fre.
This bill provides full op-
portunity for anyone to exercise
their freedom of speech and
their other constitutional du-
ties, said Tafanelli, R-Ozawkie.
But more importantly, this bill
gives a family the right to some
privacy during their darkest
hour, to grieve, honor and pay
their respects to their loved on.
This is a right they have earned
and that they deserve.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Af-
ter months of secrecy, Sprint
Nextel Corp. said Wednesday
that its local telephone divi-
sion will be named Embarq
when it separates this spring
to become its own company.
Besides the name, the com-
pany also unveiled the new
logo, an arrow-like symbol in
three shades of green.
Embarq will be the ffth-
largest local phone company
in the country.
The company will remain
based in Overland Park on a part
of Sprints corporate campus.
It is likely Embarq will feel
increased competition from
its former parent as wireless
services continue to eat into
traditional wireline businesses.

Naismith
continued from page 1a
The Naismith residential lease
agreement states that the con-
sumption of alcohol is not permit-
ted in the common areas of the
property.
The lease agreement also says
written warnings, fnes or eviction
from the premises can result from
violations of this rule.
Our alcohol policy has not
changed, said Wendy Sylvester,
acting manager of Naismith. She
also said that Naismith has never
condoned underage drinking.
Lauren Hendrix, Wichita ju-
nior, lived in Naismith during the
2003-2004 school year. She said
if alcohol was seen, it was taken
away and a verbal warning was
given out. She didnt recall hav-
ing any mandatory meetings, like
the one last week, while she lived
there.

Johnson is quick to pause from
his duties to tell a joke or share
a story, but he takes pride in his
work.
Greg Albrecht, circulation su-
pervisor of Anschutz Library, has
worked with Johnson for nearly
two years and said that he has an
amazing work ethic and that he
genuinely cares about his duties. It
is Johnsons thoughtfulness, how-
ever, that makes him such a great
person to work with, he said.
Albrecht recalled one night
Johnson accidentally threw a stu-
dents pair of reading glasses that
were hidden by newspapers in
the trash. Later that night Johnson
went inside the dumpster outside
of Anschutz and went through ev-
ery trash bag until he fnally found
the glasses.
When Johnsons not working at
Anschutz he can often be found
fshing for crappie off the marina at
Clinton Lake. After work he likes
to take in a classic Western movie
while enjoying a six-ounce glass of
dry, red wine.
I like the stuff that makes you
spit dust and tumbleweeds when
youre fnished, he said.

Patriot Act
under review
Laurie KeLLman
WASHINGTON The House
on Wednesday agreed to extend
the USA Patriot Act for a month
while conservative Republicans
and the White House work out
changes intended to protect peo-
ple from government intrusion.
The Senate was expected to
follow before the law expires on
Friday.
Just before leaving for Christ-
mas, Congress extended the law
until Feb. 3. Senate Democrats and
four Republicans had blocked a f-
nal vote on a measure that would
have made permanent most expir-
ing provisions. The Republicans
were concerned about excessive
police powers.
It is imperative that we not
play political games with the tools
that our law enforcement needs to
prevent another terrorist attack,
said the chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, Rep. James
Sensenbrenner, R-Wis.
At issue are 16 provisions that
Congress wanted reviewed and re-
newed by the end of last year.
Objections centered on the
degree to which people and in-
stitutions that receive National
Security Letters secret requests
for phone, business and Internet
records can appeal them in
court.
House Democrats said they did
not want the act to expire but are
pressing for civil rights protections
before renewing it permanently.
We must extend it, mend it, but
not end it, said Rep. Jane Har-
mon, top Democrat on the House
Intelligence Committee:
Originally passed fve weeks
after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,
the act was due to expire Dec. 31.
President Bush in his State of
the Union speech Tuesday called
on Congress to renew the expiring
16 provisions.

Western Union puts
stop to telegrams
P. SoLomon Banda
DENVER For more than
150 years, messages of joy, sor-
row and success came in sig-
nature yellow envelopes hand
delivered by a courier. Now the
Western Union telegram is off-
cially a thing of the past.
The company formed in April
1856 to exploit the hot tech-
nology of the telegraph to send
cross-country messages in less
than a day. The fnal telegram
was delivered on Friday. Tele-
grams reached their peak popu-
larity in the 1920s and 1930s
when it was cheaper to send a
telegram than to place a long
distance telephone call. People
would save money by using the
word stop instead of periods
to end sentences. Punctuation
was extra while stop was free.
Samuel Morse, inventor of
the Morse Code, sent the frst
telegram from Washington to
Baltimore on May 26, 1844,
to his partner Alfred Vail to
usher in the telegram era that
displaced the Pony Express.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2006
I woke up that morning with
George Harrisons All Things
Must Pass circling around in my
head. That morning I knew those
words all things must pass, were
more than just song lyrics, but
were a reality.
Sitting
down for a late
afternoon lunch
in the Union I
picked up a left-
behind copy of
The University
Daily Kansan
in hopes of
catching up on
the campus news. Following a
couple page turns I was shocked
and saddened by the articles of
those connected to the University
who had passed away during the
course of winter break.
I was struck most by the news
of Rick Snyders death. The
distinguished professor of psychol-
ogy was, hands down, one of the
best teachers I had ever had the
privilege of learning from. I ended
up adding his class Individual
Differences last semester after
having dropped what appeared to
be a not-so-thrilling psychology
course. Adding his class was the
best thing I could have done. Little
did I know how much hope he
would instill in me.
Ricks class was an unusual
one: It was one that students actu-
ally wanted to attend. The Wescoe
auditorium was holding warm
bodies in nearly every seat each
Tuesday and Thursday. He did not
take attendance because he didnt
have to. People simply wanted to
come. His lectures were engaging
and quite amusing, from his dis-
play of chewing on a girls notes to
putting on lip balm. He did what
he had to do and more to make a
point.
I was always amazed at his
ability to pull me into his realm by
beginning each day with a simple:
Welcome to Individual Differ-
ences day #___. The end of each
lecture was just as touching. He
would wrap up with some grand
nale, bring some life lesson in at
the last minute and then send you
out of the classroom and back into
the world. Once, at the end of
class, he had a student take his all
powerful microphone and dismiss
the class for the day. Another time
he displayed his favorite child-
hood book, Tootles the Train,
and even once told us how all
graduating students walking down
the hill were bottles of Dr. Pepper
to him. There was an imaginative
story or an awe inspiring hopeful
message from the start of class all
the way to the end.
Snyder had said that this past
semester was the hardest semester
he had in all his years of teach-
ing. If he had not said that, I dont
think anyone would have ever
known. I can only imagine how
brilliant a teacher he was when he
didnt have lifes obstacles occupy-
ing his mind.
I wrote Snyder an e-mail last
semester wanting the privilege of
meeting him outside of lecture
in hopes of using him as a great
resource for psychological knowl-
edge and life in general. Rick
responded that he was unable to
meet with me at that time because
of the worsening health conditions
of his father and father-in-law.
To learn that Rick himself was
recently diagnosed with cancer
and lost the battle leaves me feel-
ing quite lost, but at the same time,
still in a mind-set of hopefulness.
The primary area of his research
was hope and he exemplied that
better than anyone I had ever
seen. He once demonstrated hope
on Good Morning America for
all television viewers to appreciate.
Luckily though, I got to experi-
ence this hope rsthand right in
the classroom and, as a result, feel
forever sure that you can get there
from here.

What if your Internet service
provider charged for every song
you downloaded off Kazaa?
Welcome to the two-tiered,
segregated and controlled Inter-
net.
The death knell of unlimited
Internet freedom and your
favorite peer-to-peer (P2P) le
sharing network could be
around the corner if certain pow-
erful Internet service providers
have their way.
According to the Boston
Globe, AT&T and BellSouth
have been lobbying Congress
to create a two-tiered Internet
one tier for regular trafc and
another for high-priority trafc.
To create their new Internet,
companies will tag information
to dene at what speed it should
travel.
These companies want to do
away with network neutrality,
the overriding principle that
has governed the Internet. This
concept states that information
on the Internet should transfer
as quickly as possible without
regard to content. Congress is
now debating whether to make
network neutrality the law or do
away with it and allow the new
tiered Internet to develop.
If Congress abolishes network
neutrality, they hand network
operators the legal power to
dene how data moves through
the Internet. These companies
would have the power to control
other companies services, deter-
mine how fast we can download
data, and potentially what we
can download at all. But they
sincerely promise not to abuse
that power. Not even when tens
of billions of dollars in revenue
is at stake. Nope, scouts honor,
they swear to play nice.
Kiss Kazaa goodbye folks.
Delete eDonkey off your ma-
chines. Why? There is no money
in those le sharing programs for
the ISPs. They want to charge
more money for data passing
through their network.
P2P networks soak up hun-
dreds of gigabytes of bandwidth
with no one to bill. That is, no
one except the users. Either
P2P networks will be slowed
to a point of being worthless or
customers will have to pony up
extra dollars based on how much
bandwidth they use. Either way,
the le sharing networks will
suffer.
Your entire Internet experi-
ence may be the nal victim of
corporate greed.
SBC CEO Edward Whitacre,
in a Business Week interview,
said that he wants to be able to
charge companies like Google or
Yahoo for sending information
over his companys network.
Why should they be allowed
to use my pipes, asked Whita-
cre. The Internet cant be free in
that sense, because we and the
cable companies have made an
investment and for a Google or
Yahoo or Vonage or anybody to
expect to use these pipes [for]
free is nuts!
Never mind that data on the
Internet is already paid for twice;
once by the sender and once by
the receiver. Network operators
wants it paid for 3, 4 or 10 times
over if possible.
In a letter to Congress, Vinton
Cerf, a Google vice president,
warned that current legislation
would do great damage to the
Internet as we know it.
Telephone companies cannot
tell consumers who they can
call; network operators should
not dictate what people can do
online.
Network operators could
effectively hold the Internet
hostage by determining who
gets to run the fastest. How
much would Google, Yahoo or
MSN pay to be the fastest search
engine?
Whitacre and his ilk have
missed a major point. The only
reason Internet trafc exists at all
is thanks to the content providers.
Without content, there is
no Internet. Without content,
ISPs couldnt charge anyone to
move data over their networks.
In their shortsighted greed, they
may chop off the hand that feeds
them.

The editorial board plans to interview each candidate for provost
as they are announced during the next few weeks. On Monday, Jason
Shaad, opinion editor, Josh Bickel, managing editor and Ty Beaver,
editorial writer, conducted a phone interview with provost candidate,
Virginia Sapiro, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on several
issues. The following are the questions and her selected answers.
Q: What about the University appeals to you?
A: Its a kind of university that I know well and
admire and that is a very top-level institution thats
devoted to both teaching and research. Ive heard great
things from people who are alumni. I have colleagues
here who went to KU and ever since I visited, they
havent stopped talking about it, and Ive heard the area
is really beautiful. I found all of that when I was there.
Q: How would you approach the Universitys four-
year graduation rate?
A: The rst thing is to recruit the best students we can. The next thing
is to make sure that, from the very beginning, from the rst point at
which students say Yes, Im going to KU, that we give the kind of sup-
port and advice and help thats necessary for students to be as successful
as possible. Id be really interested in going further with Living Learning
Communities, which I know youve begun to do, and of doing the kind
of programming that really integrates student life and academics. The
other thing is to make sure along the way that we are watching out for
students that are at vulnerable periods in their lives, who are having a
little bit of trouble. Not waiting for students to come to faculty and advi-
sors, but nding ways of making sure faculty and staff are very much in
touch with students and can be there to help when the students need
help. is another thing. One other thing is that there is adequate nancial
aid all the way through, because one reason that students dont complete
in four years or dont complete at all can be nancial difculties they are
facing. So, we always have to be keeping an eye on nancial issues for
students.
Q: What is your stance concerning alcohol on campus, for example,
at the Jaybowl in the Union?
A: Id have to learn more about the policy that is there. I cant support
anything that would allow underage drinking on public property and at
the University. I think whats much more important than that is making
sure there is very good education about alcohol and its effects. The real
problem we face at many institutions today, including the one Im at,
is that there are too many students engaging in high-risk behavior and
that includes not just alcohol, but a whole range of other activities. That
would very much be my main focus, trying to gure out how to reduce
the amount of high risk behavior students engage in.
Q: How do you feel about making end-of-term teacher evaluations
available to the public?
A: The problems I have with making them public - Im not neces-
sarily opposed to them - but let me share some of the problems there
are. First of all, different professors teach the same courses over time.
One thing that happens on campuses, like my own where theyre made
public, is students will look and see course evaluations for a particu-
lar course and not really connect with the fact that that person is not
teaching the course anymore or that person teaches every other year.
They dont actually have the evaluations of the instructor teaching the
course. Another issue thats a problem is for especially our youngest,
most junior faculty. Theres a time when theyre really learning their
craft and its like any other kind of job where you need help in learning
how to get better. What happens on campuses where these are publicly
posted is that students start shying away from those particular profes-
sors and theyre really not given an opportunity to grow and get better.
Theres also some research that suggests that in anonymous course
evaluations, where people arent held accountable for what they say
about other people, that there can be some racism and sexism and
some of those. What Id rather do is nd really good ways of working
with students and student organizations to make sure teaching keeps
improving and that we nd out which departments and which faculty
need to shape up some more.
Q: What do you want to do to fulll Chancellor Robert Hemen-
ways vision of KU as a top 25 university?
A: The rst thing you have to do is break down what does that mean.
When people say top 25 or top 10 or top million, what does that mean?
And usually what people focus on is the number of graduate and Ph.D.
programs that are individually ranked in the top 25, so it means hold-
ing up the research capability at the institution, the support for research
and the quality of the faculty. It also means looking at each and every
graduate program to nd out whether it is really high quality, how does it
compare to others and what is the very special area in each program that
KU in particular can bring, so people in that eld say, KU just has the
greatest this kind of program or that kind of program.
For me, what it means is some of the kind of things you started to talk
about earlier. To what degree do we have a great student body that gradu-
ates in a good period of time? To what degree is KU a place that has not
only really good scholar teachers as professors, but also has other kinds
of co-curricular activities and living learning activities that make it the
kind of place that make it a great education? To foster the reputation, Id
also want to be looking again at what can we do to improve the whole
educational program, to make sure that there are great co-curricular ac-
tivities and that when alumni turn around and look back at their college
years they say I am so glad I went there.
Q: What is your snow day policy? We know it snows a lot up in
Wisconsin and we dont get many snow days here when it does snow.
A: On snow days, if at all possible, I like to get my snow suit on and go
out and make a snow person. Im also pretty good at snow angels, and I
promise if Im there I will do a snow angel in the snow on campus.

Sometimes you need to bend some
for others. If you do, everything in
your life will fow more easily. You can
be a stubborn sign, you know.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Work
with individuals. You could be dealing
with heavier-than-normal issues. Be
sensitive in your word choice. Express-
ing your nurturing could make or break
a situation. Check out a far-out diet or
health program.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH
Others run with the ball. You might want
to put a halt to it, but it wont make any
difference. You might be best off plung-
ing into what is going on. You will enjoy
yourself if you let go and relax.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH
You might want to calmly talk
through a problem. Add that touch of
thoughtfulness and magnetism. You
might want to think positively about a

Talk about a home offce.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH
Your energy needs to be plugged in where

money risk could work. Just dont involve
more money than you can risk.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH
You might not want to discuss every-
thing that is on your mind. Still, you

change that occurs. Use your innate
sense of diplomacy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH
Your words hit someone where it counts.
You are fnally heard. Evoke more gentle-
ness in your communication, and you
will get an even better reaction. Ease up
and relax more with those around you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH
Your instincts help you make the right
decision. You might be surprised at
what happens if you relax more and
fow naturally. Listen to a friend who
has only your well-being in mind. This
friendship could be very special.

Here come the Sooners.
For the first time this season,
a game in Allen Fieldhouse
will be the kind that students
can brag to their friends back
home about having the chance
to go see.
I dont count the Kentucky
game because of the timing.
This is one that will happen
during the heart of the semes-
ter. Its the kind of game that
many players on this roster,
consisting mainly of freshmen
and sophomores, would say
brought them to Kansas.
After four consecutive vic-
tories, three of which can be
described as impressive, this
young team feels the best it has
all season, a feeling that paral-
lels that of the fans. Camping
began almost as soon as the fi-
nal buzzer signaled the end of
Mondays 86-52 rout of Texas
Tech.
The only disappointing
thing is, that from a national
perspective, this potential
battle for the Big 12 Champi-
onship will be played on the
same day as the most impor-
tant sporting event in the en-
tire world. Therefore, assum-
ing no player scores 81 points
(or even if they do, they might
have to also break the back-
board and deliver a baby too),
it will likely fly under the radar
below the Super Bowl.
This will be the first real test
for this new starting lineup of
Julian Wright, Sasha Kaun,
Mario Chalmers, Russell Rob-
inson and Brandon Rush. It
very well may be the lineup that
takes this team into March.
Oklahoma will bring its
physical Big Ten-like style into
Lawrence, led by big men Taj
Gray and Kevin Bookout, the
latter of whom seems to have
been there since the Kansas/
Oklahoma National Champi-
onship in 1988.
Regardless, after this game,
neither teams fans should fy off
the handle, win or lose. This sea-
sons Kansas teams adaptation
to big-time college basketball is
progressing just nicely. But its
not just me. The players, who
are beginning to mirror their
coach in demeanor, would be
the frst to admit to not getting
too high or too low. They know
there is a long way to go and all
signs point to them being ready
when the spotlight shines.
Instead, fans should be ex-
cited and appreciate the cali-
ber of game that they will be
treated to on Sunday. It will
a great litmus test to see how
far the team has left to go. Play
well before a presumably big
audience, and perhaps they
will finally crack that all-elu-
sive Top 25. Perhaps Brandon
Rush can make a run at anoth-
er SportsCenter Top 10 on the
same day as the Super Bowl.
Perhaps the fans can turn Al-
len Fieldhouse back into the
place that many teams feared
visiting just a few years ago.
Perhaps it will live up to its
showdown status.
Here come the Sooners.

t The column
Wacker
feet 11 inches, he was passed
up by most schools. Mangino
loved his talent and dismissed
the notion that he wouldnt
be able to throw the ball over
linemen at the college level.
Mangino went so far as to
compare his skill set to that
of former Jayhawk, Bill Whit-
temore. And if his numbers
on the field werent impres-
sive enough, he had a 4.5
weighted grade point average
in high school and Mangino
said he was enrolled in the
Honors Program at Kansas.
Now, this isnt basketball.
These 21 recruits arent going
to make an immediate impact
for the Jayhawks next year.
Its reasonable to believe that
next year, the Jayhawks wont
match their seven-win cam-
paign from this season.
With no set starting quar-
terback, a downgraded de-
fense and an improved Big
12 North division, five or six
victories could be considered
a success.
But Mangino and his staff
have made some great moves
to ensure that Kansas wont
have to endure many more re-
building years.
F Wacker is a Chesterfield,
Mo., senior in journalism.
Speedbump
The Jayhawks battled back again
in the games fnal minutes, cutting
the lead to three with just 28 sec-
onds remaining.
However, Kansas could not
hold its own on the defensive end,
and Colorado sealed the game by
making all but one of its free throws
down the stretch.
We knew that we could play
with them, Colorado guard Whit-
ney Law said.
Colorado built its lead during
a stretch where Kemps shooting
touch went cold; she went a rare
2-of-7 from the feld to open the
game.
Kemp and the other seniors all
chalked up the defensive woes to a
lack of intensity on that end. Kemp
acknowledged that the team has
the goal of making the postseason,
something they see slipping from
their grasp.
Defense
Escalera and senior Whitney Law,
found open shots all night, espe-
cially in the frst half. Escalera and
Law lit up Kansas for 11 and 14
points, respectively, in the frst 20
minutes.
Colorados back court duo
was able to get open shots off of
miscommunication from Kansas
defenders trying to get around
Colorado screens. This enabled
Colorado guards to slash through
the lane or take open jump shots.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrick-
son said the open shots in transi-
tion and the play of Colorados
Jackie McFarland in the paint were
the key points in her teams defen-
sive breakdown.
Obviously to me, it looks like a
lack of commitment and pride on
that end of the foor, Henrickson
said.
The Jayhawks had no answer
for McFarland in the paint. She
had 16 points, beating off a single
defender deep in the paint on nu-
merous occasions. Her presence
forced Jayhawk defenders nearly
under the basket, leading to easy
layups.
Hallman said the Jayhawks
knew the answer to getting back
to their winning ways earlier in the
season when the team started a
school-best 12-0.
Weve got to fnd a way to get
started back on the right way,
Hallman said. Its going to have to
start defensively.

Micah Downs is now a student
at Gonzaga University in Spo-
kane, Wash.
The former Kansas guard
transferred last week.
Oliver Pierce, assistant athlet-
ics director and sports informa-
tion director at Gonzaga, did not
say yesterday whether Downs is
on the basketball team.
All I can say is that he is a
full-time matriculated student,
Pierce said.
All of Gonzagas scholarships are
currently filled , meaning Downs
would likely walk on to the team
with the possibility of becoming a
scholarship player next season.
Downs left Kansas citing per-
sonal reasons, and headed back
to his home of Seattle. He did not
inform his teammates of his deci-
sion. Spokane is four hours from
Downs hometown.
Downs averaged 4.3 points
per game in 13 games with the
Jayhawks this season.

Ksenia Bukina has a perfect 3-0
record, is ranked 14th in the cen-
tral region and 79th nationally by
the Intercollegiate Tennis Associa-
tion and was the only Jayhawk to
notch a victory against a ranked
opponent last fall.
The Obninsk, Russia, native
has the tennis resume of a veteran
but shes only a freshman.
Bukina said the main reason she
came to Kansas to play tennis was
that her hometown friend of 10
years, sophomore Elizaveta Avde-
eva, played for Kansas as well.
Bukinas shy personality has not
translated onto the tennis courts.
In her three victories this season,
Bukina has lost only one set. Indi-
anas Sarah Batty, who is ranked
98th by the ITA, was the only op-
ponent to knock off Bukina in a
set.
Bukina achieved her ranking
because of her performance last
fall. She was 7-6 in singles matches.
Bukina said she was excited when
she frst heard of the ranking.
Bukina said there were notice-
able differences between playing

posed to Russia.
Here I can get an education
and practice a lot, and in Russia,
if you come to the university, you
study no sports, Bukina said.
It is diffcult in Russia to do sports
and education.
Kansas coach, Amy Hall-Holt
said she wanted Bukina to move
up even further in the ITA ranking.
The new ITA ranking comes out
on Feb. 7.
I am defnitely very pleased and
very happy for her, and we worked
hard on getting her where she is,
Hall-Holt said. She has worked
hard as well putting in the extra ef-
fort.

When the Kansas softball
team was picked to fnish sev-
enth in the Big 12 standings,
coach Tracy Bunge knew the
team had to improve.
We are disappointed by our
rankings, she said.
The team fnished last season
with a 31-24 record, including
a 9-8 conference mark. Bunge
said the team will rely on expe-
rience to improve its record.
We have a lot of returning
players on the infeld, Bunge
said. Eight letter winners from
last season will return, seven of
whom are starters. The perks of
having a veteran roster would
be knowing who was com-
ing back and what identity the
team would play with. Part of
that identity will include a team
that posted a school-record .973
felding percentage last season.
Much of the leadership will
be trusted in shortstop Destiny
Frankenstein, infelder Jessica
Moppin, outfelder Heather
Stanley and pitcher Serena Set-
tlemier, all of whom are seniors.
Defense wins champion-
ships, Bunge said. Defense
should be a mainstay for this
team. Between our defense and
our pitching staff, we feel pretty
good about what we are doing
going into the season.
Bunge was optimistic both
about the thunder that she
thought would come from the
bats of the lineup and about the
teams ability to put the ball in
play. That ability, paired with
team experience, could allow
the Jayhawks to reach their goal
of playing near the top of the
standings, she said.
We want to go further than
we did last year and compete in
the top half of the Big 12, Bunge
said. We think we can make some
noise and surprise some people.
KU will kick off the season
Feb. 10 against Florida at the
Wilson/DiMarini Tournament
in Houston, Texas.

It is all fnally coming together for the
Jayhawks.
After scoring 65 points against Kansas
State, the Jayhawks have stepped up on
offense, scoring over 80 points in each of
the last fve games.
In the last four games, Kansas has
twice scored in the 80s and twice in the
90s. The Jayhawks have been running
more and creating more fast break oppor-
tunities against their opponents.
Kansas coach Bill Self said after Mon-
days game against Texas Tech that the
team had been trying to play faster the
whole season and that it was clicking
now.
This is how we have been trying to
play for a while, as far as the pace is con-
cerned. Self said. Even on the road,
we have had a lot more possessions and
played faster.
One reason Kansas has been able to
run more on opponents and get more fast
breaks is because of the improved play of
the big men.
Self has been able to settle in on a rota-
tion and has started freshman forward Ju-
lian Wright and sophomore center Sasha
Kaun together for the past three games.
Against Texas Tech, Kaun had 10 points
and seven rebounds.
Sophomore forward Darnell Jacksons
play has also improved since conference
play began. Jackson has scored in double
fgures the last four games.
Self said the big men have been pivotal
in Kansas scoring more points and getting
more fast break opportunities.
They are getting easy baskets, Self
said. The best way to get confdence is
to get a layup, and then you think youre
playing real well. These guys are playing
to their strengths more now. They are get-
ting out and running.
Another reason Kansas has been able
to put more points on the scoreboard is
because of its improved shooting. The
Jayhawks have shot 50 percent or bet-
ter the past fve games and in nine out of
their last 11 games.
Freshman guard Mario Chalmers,
who was named Big 12 Rookie of
the Week on Monday, has averaged
more than 14 points per game in
conference play. He has also helped
Kansas run in the open foor. His 53
steals are already the fourth most by
a KU freshman.
Poor shooting has been a big reason
Kansas has faltered in losses this season.
In its 61-49 loss to Arizona, Kansas shot
just 33 percent. Against Kansas State,
Kansas shot 32 percent.
Were doing a good job of fnd-
ing the open man, and were hitting
shots, sophomore guard Russell
Robinson said. Were sharing the
ball more and not putting up bad
shots.
Freshman guard Brandon Rush said
it was more fun playing the style of bas-
ketball where Kansas got out and ran on
other teams.
Its fun out there right now, he
said. Everybody is crashing the boards,
and that leads to quick baskets and fast
breaks.
Kansas will get another opportu-
nity to continue its hot shooting at
noon on Sunday when it plays host to
Oklahoma.

road to tournament
Per the usual for any collegiate football coach,
Mark Mangino was all smiles Wednesday as he
talked about his 2006 recruiting class.
But this year, he has reason to be smiling.
In a year that will see Kansas lose its entire start-
ing linebacking corps (Banks Floodman, Nick
Reid, Kevin Kane), both starting quarterbacks
who were worth a spit (Jason Swanson and Brian
Luke) and half of the starting secondary (Theo
Baines and Charles Gordon) to graduation and
the NFL draft, anyone can see that the Jayhawks
have a lot of holes to fll. Next year might be one
of those dreaded rebuilding seasons.
But with this recruiting class, Mangino and his
staff have brought in players who can plug those
holes.
Granted, the evaluation of players in high
school can only go so far in knowing how well they
will play in the Big 12 Conference, and Mangino
would admit that. But theres lot of room for opti-
mism with this class, which ESPN.com ranked as
No. 36 in the nation.
That ranking qualifes Kansas for the middle of
the gridiron in terms of Big 12 recruitment rank-
ings, but it does rank higher than quite a few nota-
bles: Louisville (41st), N.C. State (45th) and West
Virginia (48th) are consistent mainstays of Top 25
polls during the season. Of course, the most deli-
cious of the recruiting rankings for Kansas fans
are Missouri (52nd) and Kansas State (60th).
Heres a quick glance at a few of standouts in
Kansas class:
Ian Wolfe. At 6 feet 6 inches, 270 pounds, the
offensive tackle may need to put on a bit more
weight, but hes a smart football player with great
speed and agility. ESPN has him ranked No. 14 in
the nation at his position. He chose the Jayhawks
against Big 10 power Wisconsin.
Anthony Webb. As a 6-foot-1-inch safety, hes
tall for his position. With a 4.5 in the 40-yard dash,
Mangino raved about his quick feet and ability to
change direction. That speed will be welcome in
a depleted secondary, where Mangino said Webb
would have the opportunity to compete for a
starting job. Rivals.com gave him a four-star rat-
ing and ranked him No. 23 in the nation at his
position. His high school coach said his instinct
and skills were cat-like.
Todd Reesing. Already enrolled at Kansas for
the spring semester, this quarterback may be the
most intriguing prospect in the class. As a junior,
he was the Associated Press Texas State 4A Of-
fensive Player of the Year, beating out Matthew
Stafford, whom Rivals.com ranked as the No. 1
quarterback in the nation. In his high school ca-
reer, he passed for 6,500 yards and an insane 70
touchdowns with only 13 interceptions. But at 5

Senior guard Kaylee Brown looks to pass inside against Colorado dur-
ing Wednesday nights game in Allen Fieldhouse. Brown led the Jayhawks
with 24 points and was 5-5 from the free-throw line. Colorado defeated the
Jayhawks 77-71.

A game that was supposed to snap Kansas out of
a losing streak, instead turned into a 77-71 Colorado
victory and left Kansas three seniors looking for an-
swers.
This is our road to the NCAA tournament and we
cant lose games like this, senior guard Kaylee Brown
said.
After starting with a 13-0 record and a victory against
nationally ranked Texas, Kansas has defated, winning
just one of its last seven games. The Jayhawks are now
13-6 and 2-6 in the Big 12 Conference.
Brown, senior guard Erica Hallman, as well as
senior forward Crystal Kemp, played a full 40 min-
utes and fnished in double-digit scoring. Brown
led all scorers with a career-high 24 points. After-
ward, she said the career high was no consolation
for the loss.
The home loss damages Kansas hopes of playing
in the NCAA tournament. The team will now have to
win twice on the road to fnish with an 8-8 conference
record, which was last years standard for making the
tournament.
That is ultimately our goal, Hallman said. Weve
got to get better if we even want to think of the NIT at
this point.
On a night when Kansas defense was suspect, the
offense lacked the frepower to stay in a shootout with
Colorado.
In the opening minutes, both teams scored at will,
putting up 16 points in the frst four minutes.
During the frst time-out, Colorado was able to
tighten up defensively, but Kansas could not. The Buf-
faloes started pulling away.
The Buffaloes improved their record to 2-7 in Big 12
play. Both victories have come against Kansas.
We knew we wanted to get it down to a decent
defcit before halftime, but we couldnt do that, Kemp
said of the 12-point Colorado lead.
Kansas twice was able to chip away at that lead, frst
cutting it to four points at the start of the second half.
Colorado answered with scoring inside from forward
Jackie McFarland, who had 11 of her 16 points in the
second half.

If losing by 50 isnt rock bottom, this
certainly is.
Wednesday night, another op-
ponent was able to feast on a Kan-
sas defense now ranked last in the
Big 12 Conference in nearly every
defensive category.
Colorado shot a scorching 61.9 per-
cent from the feld, the best percentage
Kansas has given up this season. Its
the third straight game opponents have
shot better than 50 percent against the
Jayhawk defense.
Weve just got to get better defen-
sively, senior guard Erica Hallman
said. Were getting killed.
A frustrated Hallman said the prob-
lem was that Kansas started the game
fat defensively, allowing 13 uncon-
tested shots.
Colorado sophomore guard Yari Es-
calera started the game with an open
jump shot, one of many she would see
on the night. The Buffaloes guards,
