KU offcials project the total will rise to $6 or $7 million.
The University of Kansas re-
leased its initial assessment of how
much damage was done to the
University campus on Thursday,
University offcials blamed de-
ferred maintenance bills and old
roofs for the extent of the damage.
As of last year, the University had
$133 million worth of deferred
maintenance projects.
So far, the University has con-
structed awnings to protect people
entering buildings and it has col-
lected debris that posts an imme-
diate danger. All buildings except
Danforth Chapel and parts of Rob-
inson Center are open and opera-
tional.
Contracts for 17 projects have
been let and work has begun on

Dancing up a storm
By DeJuan atway
datway@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Jorge Ortiz knows the sexy,
seductive, forbidden twists of
the Tango, the smooth, intri-
cate pivots that accompany
the Foxtrot, and the infec-
tious, hip-shaking moves of
the Salsa.
All these moves help Ortiz,
Lima, Peru, graduate student
and president of the KU Ball-
room Dance Club, heat up the
dance foor, and it never hurts to
have to dance close to a beauti-
ful woman.
The club has seen a signifcant
rise in membership during the
last year. Some of the members
have given credit to the large
success of ABCs Dancing with
the Stars television show.
The club is open to the entire
Lawrence community and has
residents, students, and faculty
of different experience levels in
the club.
TV shows and movies have
made the club more approach-
able because theyre used to this
stereotype of ballroom danc-
ing, Ortiz said. Now people
see action heroes and celebri-
ties doing it for fun. Its kind of
changed the attitude.
Christie Curtis, dance in-
structor for the club, agreed
that movies and TV shows have
made ballroom dancing more
inviting. She has been involved
with ballroom dancing since
the 1970s.

Campus debris used
to make mulch, seats
By nicole Kelley

Kansan staff writer
Since Sundays storm, city
and University workers have
been busy throughout campus
and the surrounding Lawrence
area cleaning up the tree limbs
and debris that covered many
streets and private lawns.
The storm caused between $6
and $7 million of damage to the
University. Of that damage, $5.1
million was to buildings alone
with another $200,000 going
to the clean-up process. With
the amount of debris that was
caused by the storm, the ques-
tion of what should be done
with it has been an issue on the
minds of many clean-up crews.
Jim Long, vice president of
Facilities Planning & Manage-
ment, said that more than 100
trees on campus were com-
pletely destroyed and several
others suffered damage. He said
the University had been using a
wood chipper to make mulch
with most of the tree debris.
Weve got lots of mulch, if
youd like some, Long said.
Aaron Olsen, Overland Park
sophomore and director of the
Campus Garden Project, found
another way to bring out a positive
in the storm by using the debris in
a way that will beneft others.
Olsen contacted the land-
scaping department of KU Facil-
ity Operations and worked out
a deal to reuse a few of the tree
stumps removed from campus.

ts St. Patricks Day theres a parade,
live music, and, of course, lots of drink-
ing.
Although Saint Patrick is the patron
saint of Ireland, his feast day has become
an American holiday celebrated with green pa-
rades, green clothes and green beer.
Its kind of a getting out after the winter
thing, said Roger Browning, Chairman of the
Saint Patricks Day Parade Committee.
The committee organized the fve kilometer
Shamrock Shuffe last week. It also organizes
the approximately 100 units in the parade to
help raise money for local childrens charities.
The committee also is holding a beneft con-
cert at the Bottleneck featuring Kansas musi-
cian Kelley Hunt Friday night.
The parade starts at 1 p.m.
Bars and restaurants around town are also
having specials for St. Pattys Day:
Ricks Place: Rick Younger, owner, promises
to dye his dog green, but dont worry, hes using
green Jell-O instead of dye to protect the dogs
skin.
Tanners: Corned beef and cabbage for $6.95
and Irish fries for $4.95. Guinness drafts for $4
and $2.50 Jager shots.
Henry Ts: $3 Irish ale pints.
The Granada: The bar opens at noon for the
parade and will play the Kansas-Bradley game
on a 30-foot big screen TV. Then Big Metal
Rooster and the Cosmopolitics will play the rest
of the night.
75th Street brewery: Irish Ale T-shirts that
say Get bombed at the brewery for $10. The
brewery will be serving corned beef and cab-
bage, shepherds pie, and Irish Car Bombs.

University study on
ponds wins award
Man-made ponds have
morphed run-off patterns in
the United States, according to
a study published by the Kan-
sas Geographical Survey.
According to the study,
these ponds collect approxi-
mately 20 percent of all run-off
sedimentation. The research is
the frst to estimate the impact
of smaller bodies of water on
run-off distribution.
The report said that thou-
sands of ponds are added each
year to the 2.6 million ponds
already in the U.S. The sedi-
ment ponds collect each year
could fll more than 3 million
boxcars with dirt.
The research was published
in the journal Geomorphology
and received an award from
the Association of American
Geographers. KU researchers
Jeremy Bartley and Robert
Buddemeier were two of the
papers authors.

After the city denied that

court error leads to
46-year-long probation
SAN DIEGO Jean Moore
is fnally off probation after
46 years.
Moore was placed on pro-
bation in 1960 after pleading
guilty to embezzling several
thousand dollars from her La
Jolla employer. She paid back
the money over the next 20
years until a court in Colo-
rado, where she had moved,
informed her she had satisfed
the terms of her probation.
But word apparently never
got back to San Diego and an
arrest warrant was entered
into the system in 1979.
The warrant sat unnoticed
for 27 years, until January,
when Moores Social Security
benefts were abruptly cut off.
Federal law stops payments
to people with active arrest
warrants.
With help from a lawyer, a
Superior Court judge rescind-
ed the warrant on Monday.

originally said he would sup-
port the project if donations
covered the cost but changed
his mind after residents com-
plained about the idea.
We dont want a carnival
atmosphere, Fischbach said.
Its just a little too sideshow
for our tastes.
Lovas hopes the council will
reconsider.
How they cant see the
vision, I dont understand, he
said.

prosecutors ask judge
to reconsider decision
ALEXANDRIA, Va. Fight-
ing for a death penalty in a 9/11
case, prosecutors are beseech-
ing a federal judge to reconsid-
er her decision to exclude half
the governments case against
confessed al-Qaida conspirator
Zacarias Moussaoui.
They acknowledge their only
hope of obtaining the death
penalty for the 37-year-old
Frenchman of Moroccan de-
scent, is to persuade U.S. Dis-
trict Judge Leonie Brinkema
she punished the government
too harshly for tampering with
trial witnesses and lying to
defense attorneys.
Brinkema did not immedi-
ately respond to the motion for
reconsideration that prosecutors
fled Wednesday evening. She
indicated earlier that she had
time available Thursday to hear
such a motion if it were fled.
The jury has been sent home
until Monday to give prosecu-
tors time for their next step.
Brinkema barred pros-
ecutors from submitting any
witnesses or exhibits about
aviation security. Prosecutors
responded in their motion that
this evidence goes to the very
core of our theory of the case.

The results of a study recently
published in the Wall Street
Journal suggested that Poly-
Heme, a blood substitute, was
unsafe. The University of Kan-
sas Medical Center and Douglas
County dont agree, and plan to
continue experimental trials.
In the study cited in the Wall
Street Journal, patients were
given a combination of up to 20
units of PolyHeme and saline.
Dennis McCulloch, a spokes-
man for the Medical Center,
said the hospitals analysis of
that study determined that bad
reactions in patients were the
result of excess fuids and not
the PolyHeme.
The trial that the Medical
Center is conducting calls for
patients to be given no more
than six units of PolyHeme for
up to 12 hours.
The analysis of this study has
determined that its kind of an
apples and oranges situation,
McCulloch said.
He also said that it was com-
mon for studies to add protocols
and make changes as they prog-
ress.
Sometimes its an advantage
not to be absolutely frst, he
said, and this has been a per-
fect case of that.
Jim Murray, a division chief
for Lawrence-Douglas County
Fire and Medical agreed, calling
the current study tremendously
different than the one pub-
lished in February.
There are completely dif-
ferent controls in this trial, he
said.
PolyHeme has potential ad-
vantages over saline for trauma
patients because PolyHeme can
carry oxygen and saline cannot.
The study has a very narrow
range of participants. Murray
said the main factors were that
the patient had to be an adult
who was in shock and had
sustained blood-penetrating
trauma. Only patients who will
receive treatment at the Medical
Center can be part of the study.
He said that most of the people
fown to the Medical Center
wouldnt qualify.
Those who do not wish to be
considered for participation in
the study can obtain a free opt
out wristband, similar to an al-
lergy bracelet, by contacting Su-
zanne Porras at (913) 588-3005
or by contacting the local fre
and medical department.
The study will compare the
survival rate of patients who re-
ceive PolyHeme to those who
receive standard care, which is
saline at the site of injury and
blood in the hospital.
The three counties participat-
ing are Douglas, Leavenworth
and Wyandotte. The Medical
Center is one of about 33 Level I
trauma centers nationwide par-
ticipating in the study. The study
will conclude when it has had a
total of 720 participants.

Putting out the fames
Bush renews pre-emptive policy
t nation
By deB RiechMann
the associated press
WASHINGTON On Thurs-
day, President Bush renewed his
administrations strike-frst pol-
icy against terrorists and other
U.S. enemies, and rebuked Iran
over allegations that it is secretly
amassing nuclear weapons.
The White House said that
by reaffrming the pre-emptive
policy, the United States was
not targeting Iran. Yet the na-
tional security strategy includes
harsh words for the Iranian gov-
ernment, which Bush says may
pose the greatest challenge to
the U.S.
Our preference is to act
through diplomacy in conjunc-
tion with friends and allies.
That is our preference, Stephen
Hadley, the presidents national
security adviser, said about the
doctrine on pre-emption.
It simply says, that one can-
not let dangers grow to the point
of eminent threat to the United
States without taking action,
and if other measures fail, obvi-
ously we retain the right to use
force.
The 49-page report also said:
North Korea poses a serious
nuclear proliferation challenge;
expresses dismay at rollbacks
in democratic reform in Russia;
brands Syria a tyranny that har-
bors terrorists and sponsors ter-
rorist activity; and warns China
against denying personal and
political freedoms.
Chinas leaders must real-
ize, however, that they cannot
stay on this peaceful path while
holding on to old ways of think-
ing and acting that exacerbate
concerns throughout the region
and the world, Bush wrote.
The report accuses Iran of
meddling in Iraq and equip-
ping the insurgency, which is
threatening a fragile democracy
in Baghdad. The report was re-
leased as U.S. and Iraqi forces
launched the largest air assault
mission against insurgents and
terrorists in Iraq since the U.S.-
led invasion in April 2003.
The administration is working
to persuade Russia and China to
support a proposed U.N. Secu-
rity Council resolution demand-
ing that Iran end its uranium
enrichment program.
This diplomatic effort must
succeed if confrontation is to be
avoided, Bush said. He did not
elaborate on what would hap-
pen if international negotiations
with Iran were to fail.
Hadley said the internation-
al effort must speak with one
voice if diplomacy can succeed
in getting Iran to curb this step
in nuclear weapons develop-
ment.
The report is an updated ver-
sion of one Bush issued in 2002
that outlined the pre-emptive
policy, marking the end of a
deterrent military strategy that
dominated the Cold War.

afternoon in the library of Cord-
ley Elementary, 1837 Vermont St.
The University is working with
Cordley to certify and prepare the
teachers for the ESL students.
The course is not necessarily
unique, in the sense that certi-
fcation for teachers is always
ongoing, but its unusual be-
cause instead of heading to the
University for class, the students
head to Cordley.
Markham said that because
these teachers have families at
home and other responsibilities
not shared by typical college stu-
dents, the ability for Markham
to meet the students at their
workplace is a huge beneft.
Cordley principal Kim Boden-
steiner said it would have been
very diffcult for her teachers to
go through the training if they
had to take the class on campus.
These teachers are work-
ing a full work week, teaching
straight through, she said.
She said that with papers and
assignments and arranging
things like extra day care while
in class balancing schedules
can be very challenging.
Bodensteiner also said that
for some, the routine of writing
papers and completing assign-
ments has to be re-learned be-
cause it has been a while since
they have had to do that.
Despite the challenges of the
class, the teachers in the course
realize the importance of what
theyre learning and how it
will help with teaching the ESL
students.
The course is vital to the train-
ing of the Cordley staff because
Bodensteiner is projecting 25 to
30 ESL students will attend the
school starting next school year.
Cordley will be the second ele-
mentary school in the Lawrence
School District to offer ESL ed-
ucation; Hillcrest Elementary is
the other.
That number is expected to
climb to up to 100 ESL students
in the next three to four years,
Bodensteiner said, with Law-
rences rising immigrant popu-
lation. Cordley, which has 200
students, will not exceed more
than 100 ESL students. Fund-
ing for the ESL certifcation
program comes from a grant re-
ceived by the Lawrence Public
School District in August.
Mary Barke, a second-grade
teacher at Cordley, said that al-
though taking the class on top
of teaching had certainly been
a balancing act, she agreed with
Bodensteiner that having the
class at Cordley was a huge re-
lief.
Barke added that she was not
concerned about having to ad-
just to the new ESL students be-
cause Cordley already has a di-
verse population. Barke said the
biggest challenge she saw was
giving students the adequate
amount of time they need to
learn and adjusting the curricu-
lum to meet their needs.
Jan Jenkins, a special educa-
tion teacher at Cordley, worked
with ESL students six years ago.
Jenkins was excited about the
ESL opportunity, especially for
the non-ESL students.
The beneft will be the rich-
ness and diversity brought to
the other kids, Jenkins said.
Learning different ways of liv-
ing, and being exposed to that
its exciting to expand kids
horizons.

He said he wanted to use the stumps to put in
the campus garden as seats for children.
Long said workers had been taking the
waste, such as insulation that cant be reused,
to the city landfill. He said the University was
also trying to reuse as many of the roof tiles as
possible.
He said that Facilities Operations had fnished
cleaning up all the debris from sidewalks and
roadways on campus but still had work to do in
other areas.
Ron Baker, owner of Willowridge Landscap-
ing Co., 1453 E. 800 Rd., said he had seen a
noticeable increase in business since Sundays
storm.
He said he had been called out to many of the
properties he regularly maintains to help with
fallen tree limbs and the removal of some entire
trees.
Baker said the company had a disposal
site where the debris was taken. He said he
had been cutting some down for firewood but
planned to burn most of it when the burn ban
was lifted.
He was also looking into getting a chipper so
a lot of the debris could be made into mulch and
then reused.
He expects to have all his clients properties
back to normal by the end of next week.

In the past, I have taken jazz, tap, ballet and
I have been interested in ballroom dancing for a

at least a couple of lessons, she said.
Ortiz said he initially started attending the
clubs lessons because he was fairly bored when
he attended parties.
I didnt drink or really socialize, so I thought
I would give dancing a chance. I couldnt dance
at all and it was a little embarrassing, he said.
The club offered me a way to learn how to
dance and now I can dance at a nightclub or

DENVER Women would be able to go
straight to a pharmacy and get emergency contra-
ception under a bill approved by a state Senate
committee on Wednesday.
Susan Wood, the former womens health direc-
tor for the Food and Drug Administration, told
lawmakers that its up to the states to give women
easy access to the morning after pill because
the federal government has turned its back on
the health of women. She resigned last August
after the FDA decided to postpone a decision on
making the drug available over-the-counter to
those over 16 even though she said the agencys
researchers concluded it was safe.
Emergency contraception is sold under the
name Plan B and contains two pills that contain
the same ingredients as birth control pills. One is
taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex and the
second pill is taken 12 hours after the frst. It is
not the abortion drug RU-486.
If you support womens access to regular birth
control pills, then you should support womens
access to emergency contraception, Wood told
members of the Senate Business, Labor and Tech-
nology Committee.
The committee voted 4-3 to back House Bill
1212 and send it to the full Senate for a vote. All
the Democrats voted for it and all the Republicans
voted against it.
Wood said controlled studies in Scotland and
San Francisco, where some women were given
access to emergency contraception and others
werent, showed that availability of the drug didnt
lead to more promiscuity.
However, Diane Foley, a pediatrician and ado-
lescent gynecologist in Colorado Springs, said she
was worried there was no age limit on who could
get the drug and no requirement that they follow
up with a doctor.
She thinks teens could develop more sexually
transmitted diseases if the drug was made available
because they would bypass her and go straight to
the pharmacy. Currently, she said she requires girls
asking for medication to have an exam frst so she
can check if they have contracted any diseases.
Foley said a study in the United Kingdom
showed that there was an increase in the number
of sexually transmitted diseases after the drug was
made available.
Some high school students who have pledged
to remain virgins until they are married also feared
the drug would increase promiscuity and lead
teens to treat sex like a game instead of something
serious.

COLUMBIA, Mo. An out-
side investigation of the Mis-
souri basketball program con-
cluded athletics director Mike
Alden did not send a radio an-
nouncer to fre former coach
Quin Snyder, but the extent of
the broadcasters role in Sny-
ders departure may never be
completely clear.
According to an 11-page re-
port released Thursday, Tigers
broadcaster Gary Link who is
also an assistant to Alden told
a pair of investigators hired by
the university that Alden gave
him no directive or order to talk
with Snyder on Feb. 9, hours
after Snyder told reporters he
would fnish out the season.
Snyder wound up quitting the
next day, with six regular season
games remaining and a season
record of 10-11 and 3-7 in the
Big 12 Conference. Snyder did
not speak with the outside in-
vestigators, but previously said
he believed Link was sent by Al-
den to deliver the hatchet.
As Missouri begins the task
of hiring Snyders replacement,
the report sheds light on a tense
relationship between Alden and
the coach Snyders seven-year
tenure that colleagues said was
rocky from the start.
Snyder would resist public
appearances and other activi-
ties in which Alden thought he
should participate, the report
concluded.
And by October, before the
start of what would become
Snyders fnal season, the coach
avoided his boss as much as pos-
sible, canceling or not appear-
ing at meetings after Alden and
University of Missouri Chancel-
lor Brady Deaton rejected Sny-
ders request for a public show
of support and a commitment
to honor his contract through
2008.
It is clear they have com-
pletely opposite personalities
and very different life experi-
ences, the report said of Snyder
and Alden.
Kansas City attorney Jean
Paul Bradshaw II and Lebanon
Daily Record Publisher, Dalton
Wright, also noted defcien-
cies in the Universitys crisis
management of the convoluted
events surrounding Snyders de-
parture, which they said created
negative and incomplete ver-
sions of media coverage that
did not accurately convey what
had happened.
Snyder offcially left Missouri
on Feb. 14 with a seven-year
record of 126-91 that included
NCAA tournament appearances
his frst four years. He received
a $574,000 contract buyout that
was approved by University cu-
rators. His total compensation
package at Missouri, including
incentives, was worth more than
$1 million a season.
University of Missouri system
President Elson Floyd brought
on the two investigators after
curators criticized an earlier in-
quiry by Deaton as incomplete.
Snyders departure, though
messy, was not unexpected. Al-
den frst encouraged the coach
to consider a midseason resig-
nation more than a year ago,
according to both the report
released Thursday and notes
from Deatons investigation into
Links role.
Link had earlier told Deaton
he would not divulge the con-
tents of his conversations with
Snyder and Alden, citing conf-
dentiality. This time, he cooper-
ated with the follow-up inquiry.
Link confrmed earlier ac-
counts that he spoke with Sny-
der on Feb. 9 two days after
a 26-point thrashing by Baylor,
Missouris sixth consecutive
double-digit loss after confer-
ring with Alden.
Alden told Snyder he needed
a winning season, a fnish in the
top half of the Big 12 and an
NCAA tournament appearance
to avoid losing his job.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH
The fact that today is Friday and St. Pattys
Day forms a foundation in making your
plans. Though you might want to have a
devil-may-care attitude, others intensity
and news prevent you from completely
letting go.
Tonight: Dance an Irish Jig.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH
Dont lose sight of your main objectives
concerning responsibilities and what needs
handling. You could be overwhelmed by
what is going on around you. Others react
intensely to nearly anything.
Tonight: Become Irish.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH
Your creativity surges when dealing with
others. If you can, take a personal day or
start your weekend early. Much happens
quickly and might surprised you. Someone
is initially diffcult but gets off his or her high
horse later in the day.
Tonight: Call a spade a spade.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH
In some sense you are on hold until the day
gets older. Only then will you get into the
swing of things. Though you might not be
Irish, you will start acting like you are. You
could kick up quite a storm.
Tonight: Paint the town green.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH
Be willing to express your thoughts even
if someone might become challenging or
diffcult. You do need to honor who you are
frst. Later in the day, he or she will calm
down. Curb risk-taking.
Tonight: The action surrounds your pad.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH
Investigate new ways of handling an old
problem. You might need to let go of previ-
ous ideas and premises. Reinvent your
mind-set, and you will be a lot better off.
As a result, you discover alternatives that
you hadnt even conceived of previously.
Tonight: Out on the town.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH
You are in tiptop shape, though you might
need to deal with some people who are not.
Understand that there are some situations
you cannot change. Through this accep-
tance, youll move past the problem. Flex.
Tonight: Plan on treating a family member
or roommate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HH
You might be out of sorts and testy about a
conversation or even what you need to do.
Realize we all have to say no sometimes.
You fnd that by late afternoon, you look at
life in a totally different way.
Tonight: Be yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH Your high energy could easily
be displaced, causing you to be upset and
to try to convince someone you are right.
You might want to rethink a situation. Opt to
back off rather than incur a confrontation.
Tonight: By yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH
You might feel under the gun. Too much
could easily be happening way too fast.
Slow down and use your intuition to help
rather than be immobilized. Find your
friends, and youll have a great time.
Tonight: Where the party is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH
Sometimes you cannot make strong
choices, no matter how you seek to detach
and get information. Others simply might be
too reactive to make sense of what you are
saying. Take charge. Accept responsibility.
Tonight: Be Irish.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH
A strong stand could only backfre right
now. Think positively and head in the direc-
tion you need to. Sometimes you cannot see
the whole picture. The more you detach,
the bigger the picture becomes. Think
positively.
Tonight: Take in the big picture.

The time, it is to be hoped, is
gone by, when any defense would
be necessary of the liberty of the
press as one of the securities
against corrupt or tyrannical gov-
ernment. No argument, we may
suppose, can now be needed,
against permitting a legislature
or an executive, not identifed
in interest with the people, to
prescribe opinions to them, and
determine what doctrines or
what arguments they shall be
allowed to hear.
For those of you who havent
completely forgotten what you
learned for your Western Civiliza-
tion midterm, John Stuart Mill
wrote this in his essay, On Lib-
erty, in 1869. His words, however,
remain timely. This week we cel-
ebrated Sunshine Week, an effort
launched by the American Society
of Newspaper Editors to facilitate
discussion on the importance of
open government and freedom of
information.
Forty years ago, the Freedom of
Information Act was passed. The
Act was intended to give Ameri-
cans access, with exceptions, to
federal records. Paramount to the
reporting industry, this act allows
investigative stories to happen,
including ones published in The
University Daily Kansan. Without
it, our reporters would not be able
to retrieve vital information for
stories, such as former reporter
Steve Vockrodts coverage of sex
offenders or many of our crime-re-
lated and city council articles.
But the freedom of information
is not limited just to reporters.
Everyone has the right to request
documents and should remain
vigilant of encroachments upon
our right to demand that our de-
mocracy run in an open manner.
According to the Information
Security Oversight Offce of the
National Archives and Records
Administration, the annual num-
ber of classifed decisions jumped
from 8.6 million to 15.6 million
between 2001 and 2004. The num-
ber of pages declassifed dropped
from 100 million in 2001 to 28.4
million in 2004.
Critics complain the FOIA
is plagued by chronic back-
logs, unjustifed rejections and
inconsistent responses. Others
say government offcials ex-
ploit exemptions in the act that
were enacted initially to protect
privacy, without a national or
constitutional right. When this
happens, offenses often occur
without repercussions because
there are no penalties assessed if a
public offcial fails to comply after
receiving the request. Citizens
may appeal, but they have little
recourse other than to sue.
Not to say the Bush Adminis-
tration isnt making attempts to
rectify wrongs. In December, Presi-
dent Bush issued a directive order-
ing federal agencies to designate
a senior offcial as a FOIA offcer
who is answerable to the public.
These offcers are also assigned to
evaluate their agencys FOIA pro-
gram and make any improvements
deemed necessary.
Nonetheless, it is still up to the
public to defend its rights to access
government information. We are,
after all, the ones fghting them for
the information in the frst place.

t letter to the editor
In September 2005, one of the
most controversial events in jour-
nalism occurred in Denmark.
By now, everyone should know
about the cartoons that the Dan-
ish newspaper Jyllands-Posten
published depicting the Islamic
prophet Muhammad. This creat-
ed an uproar both in the Islamic
world and the Western world.
Now, an Iranian newspaper,
Hamshahri, is running a contest
in which entrants send in their
own editorial cartoons depicting
the Holocaust as retaliation for
the Muhammad cartoons.
According to the Web site
that lists the rules of the contest
(http://www.hamshahri.org/im-
ages/InternationalCartoonE.jpg),
its premise is to fnd out What is
the Limit of Western Freedom of
Expression. Basically, the Iranian
newspaper wants to see how far
people will go in creating these
cartoons. It is also testing the
Western worlds readiness to see
cartoons about the Holocaust.
The Lawrence Journal-World
published a brief about the con-
test earlier in the week. It report-
ed that one entry showed Jewish
people entering a pipeline. No
guessing is needed to understand
that this picture is depicting the
mass execution of Jewish people
in gas chambers.
An immediate reaction to
this contest is disgust and hor-
ror. World War II ended more
than 60 years ago, but that is no
excuse to make a mockery out
of an event that killed six million
Jews.
Some of the people that
endured concentration camps
lived there for many years. They
lived on little or no food, were
surrounded by death and disease
and were forced to work long
hours in any kind of weather.
If these people were sent
into the camp in the mid-1930s
and lived to see liberation they
were in there almost 10 years.
Im 20 years old; thats half my
life. The same goes for many of
the students on campus. That is
incomprehensible to me. These
people should be respected, not
mocked. There are Holocaust
survivors still alive today. Have
they not gone through enough
already? Is it really necessary
to re-open wounds with these
cartoons?
This contest is not being run at
a very appropriate time. There will
probably never be an appropriate
time for a contest like this one.
I would hope the world is
never ready for cartoons like
that, the genocide and murder
of any people, be it Jews in the
Holocaust or anything else, Jay
Lewis, Executive Director of KU
Hillel said. Its disappointing
that some people have chosen
to equate the other cartoon
depictions of Muhammad with
cartoons depicting the mass
murder of Jews. Its disappointing
and offensive.
The next question is, how is
this contest and the winning car-
toons going to affect the future?
Free speech is the root of the
issue with these cartoons. Even
though it may be one persons
opinion that its funny to see
a cartoon mocking the Holo-
caust, its not everyones. Like
the protests and outbursts of
the Denmark cartoons, I believe
equal, if not larger-scale, retalia-
tions will occur.
Like the opinion page of a
newspaper, editorial cartoons are
also open to anyones opinion.
The topic of the Holocaust is
different. It is one thing to mock
a Presidents foreign or domestic
policy, but it is quite another
to mock an event that nearly
destroyed a population.
It is apparent that the Iranian
newspaper learned nothing from
the Denmark cartoon incident.
After the contest ends in May
and the winning cartoons run,
dont be surprised if the world
angrily backlashes just like it has
done once before over something
as simple as a cartoon.
n Wiley is a Silverlake junior in

The Kansas Senate is consider-
ing the creation of two state-owned
casinos one in Kansas City,
Kan., and one in southeast Kansas.
The Senate is also considering the
introduction of slot machines at
other venues across the state. This
bill has not yet been passed, but
with a court-ordered education
budget increase of $500 million and
no clear alternative path to collect-
ing this money, it is a very real pos-
sibility. If it does pass, it will raise
a question of social responsibility
that we cannot shy away from.
There are currently four casinos
in the state. They are run by the
Kickapoo; Prairie Band Potawa-
tomi; Sac and Fox; and Iowa tribes
under the Indian Gaming Act. It
is important to note that not all
tribes beneft from these enter-
prises. In order to participate, a
tribe must be federally recognized,
and many are not. Many other
tribes have no interest in running
gambling operations.
Nonetheless, money from these
existing casinos is funneled to a
variety of projects, including the
development and maintenance of
reservations, tuition assistance for
college students and startup capi-
tal for small business initiatives.
I am no expert, but it is my
estimation that the introduction
of state-owned casinos in major
metropolitan areas will dramati-
cally undercut these more remote,
already existing casinos earning
potentials. The state government
needs to take this into account
before proceeding with its current
course of action.
The proprietors of already exist-
ing casinos do not, and ought not,
have exclusive rights to the running
of casinos in the state. However, as
the proposed casinos will be state-
owned entities, it is the responsi-
bility of the state to recognize the
potential displacement of pre-exist-
ing casinos. More importantly, we
must consider the people whose
lives may be dramatically altered
for the worse as a result.
Renee Johnson, a member of
the Mississippi Choctaw Tribe and
a manager at the KU Bookstore,
knows the situation frsthand.
All tribes handle the proceeds
from their casinos differently,
but that money generally goes to
funding all kinds of programs on
reservations everything from
day care to affordable housing to
college scholarships for the kids
on the reservation to health care,
Johnson said.
If the state goes ahead with this
gambling initiative, it is impera-
tive that studies be conducted to
forecast the fnancial impact it will
have on all of the states citizens.
Furthermore, if it is found that
there will be substantial undercut-
ting of these pre-existing casinos
potential earnings, then it is the re-
sponsibility of the state to provide
some sort of transitional fnancial
cushion to these people.

For those of you who dont
know what the GRE is, it
stands for Graduate Record
Examination. With a format
similar to that of the SAT, the
purpose of the test is to predict
future academic success of pro-
spective graduate school stu-
dents. After applying to gradu-
ate school this semester, I came
to the realization that many
schools may rely too heavily on
GRE scores. Even though most
institutions deny there being
any cut-off score required
for admission into certain
graduate programs, GPAs and
other supplemental materials
dont pull the same weight that
they used to. Decent graduate
schools recommend students
to score in the 90th percentile
on either the verbal or quan-
titative section, depending on
their feld of study. While taking
the GRE, one may experience
mayhem, joy, frustration, relief,
or anger. Many people may
begin to wonder about their
academic future if their scores
are only average. I fnd it hard
to believe that a three-hour test
is accurate in predicting aca-
demic success. Can it seriously
outweigh three or more years
of college coursework? If so, I
suggest you learn the formula
for fnding the length of an arc
and look up defnitions for the
words charlatan and vitu-
perative.

I just want to say good job
to the clean up crew who spent
all of their Sunday and Monday
getting our campus so its semi-

So Im confused, Kansan.
Kansas wins the Big 12 Confer-
ence for the frst time since
1999 and theres no article in
the paper about it? Come on,
guys.
(Editors note: The article
about the conference champi-
onship was published in the

Nerve gas doesnt kill Jack
Bauer. Jack Bauer kills nerve

Yeah, Im going to need an

to join the Kansan Tournament
Pool on Yahoo and I need a
group ID number. Thank you.
(Editor: Sorry. The tour-
nament pool is closed now
because the tournament has

n
Chuck Norris counted to
infnity. Twice.
OK, so I just saw a guy
eating pie off the ground on
Jayhawk Boulevard with his
ears stuffed with cake. Whats
the deal with that?
n
I was just wondering if it
makes me a bad person that
I giggled a little bit when I
heard that Ms. Deaf Texas
died because she was hit by
a train that she didnt hear
coming.
n
How are you not going to
print that stuff about Peter Pan?

The Cryptoquip is put in

think theyre going to let false

Fans and media wait after they were evacuated from Cox Arena at San Diego State University during a bomb scare before the scheduled frst-round games
of the NCAA Mens College Basketball Tournament, Thursday. The frst game between Alabama and Marquette started 70 minutes after its scheduled start.
Bomb scare delays tournament
By Beth harris
SAN DIEGO The arena
for the frst-round NCAA mens
tournament game between Ala-
bama and Marquette was tem-
porarily evacuated Thursday af-
ter bomb-sniffng dogs detected
something strange on a food
vendors cart two hours before
tip-off.
After the FBI, police and se-
curity offcials checked, the all-
clear was given at Cox Arena
nearly two hours later. The game
began at 12:50 p.m. 70 min-
utes after the original start time.
Ultimately, after a period
of time, it was determined that
there was not a hazard, explo-
sive, biohazard, whatever you
would like to call it, associated
with that cart, said Lt. Robert
McManus, incident commander
for the San Diego State Police
Department.
The large silver cart, flled
with condiments, straws and pa-
per towels among other items,
initially drew the suspicion of
one dog, McManus said. Anoth-
er dog detected the same thing.
Investigators removed the cart
from the arena.
Two other dogs were brought
in and they didnt smell it, he
said.
FBI spokeswoman Jan
Caldwell initially said the dogs
detected a package inside a 4
foot by 6 inch condiment con-
tainer in the cart located on the
upper concourse of San Diego
States arena. A bomb robot was
sent to the scene, she said.
Ultimately, there was not an
object. It was the cart in general
that was under suspicion when
the dogs alerted on it, McManus
said. Investigators were not sure
what the frst two dogs detected.
Not because we thought it
was still a hazard, McManus
said. We just want to double-
check and see if we can deter-
mine what substance, if any, the
dog alerted on.
The days other games at
Cox Arena were expected to
start only a few minutes be-
hind schedule, said Chris Hill, a
member of the NCAA Division I
basketball committee.
We will continue to remain
vigilant in our security planning
throughout our tournament,
and the safety and security of
our student-athletes, teams and
fans is paramount, the NCAA
said in a statement.
The dogs are trained by the
Transportation Safety Adminis-
tration and have worked presi-
dential visits to San Diego, Mc-
Manus said.

FORT SCOTT Gordon
Parks was buried near his par-
ents Thursday. He was eulo-
gized at a funeral service in a
church he wouldnt have en-
tered as a child because he was
black.
He was remembered as a man
who used his talents as a pho-
tographer, writer, composer and
flmmaker to battle racism and
poverty during a life that came
full circle from a humble begin-
ning to an exulted end in his
hometown.
Born in 1912, he was the
youngest of 15 children. Parks
lived in what he later recalled as
a world of racism and poverty.
Over the years, his views tem-
pered. Shortly before his death
on March 7 at his home in New
York at age 93, Parks said he
considered Kansas his home
and wanted to be buried near
his parents.
At the service Thursday,
speakers, including Gov. Kath-
leen Sebelius and musician-ac-
tor Avery Brooks, talked about
Parks and what he did.
Gordon Parks was a man
who knew no barriers to his own
talent, and he used that talent
to bring down the barriers that
walled-in so many of his coun-
trymen, Sebelius told roughly
600 people who attended.
And he used the body of his
work to blow away the blinders
that kept us from seeing that the
plight of the poor is the plight of
us all, she said.
Looking out over the audi-
ence of blacks and whites sitting
shoulder to shoulder, Brooks
began speaking softly and then
his voice rose.
What a magnifcent man,
Brooks said. This man knew
how to live. He gave us so much
to last many lifetimes.
He said Parks felt that to
stand and be counted was the
only way to live.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
Scores of all the NCAA tour-
nament action were being re-
ported over the loud speaker at
The Palace while Kansas was
on the foor Thursday.
Kansas coach Bill Self talked
with CBS broadcasters Vern
Lundquist and Bill Raftery at
the scorers table.
Players signed autographs
in the tunnel leading to the
locker room just after Rodrick
Stewart, Julian Wright and
others treated fans to spec-
tacular dunks before leaving
the floor.
It was not a normal practice
for the Kansas Jayhawks.
The spectacle was all part
of the drill for Kansas play-
ers Thursday, working out at
The Palace of Auburn Hills in
front of a few hundred fans,
the day before their opening
round match-up with Bradley
tonight.
Kansas real practice had oc-
curred earlier in the day at a
Detroit Pistons practice facility
nearby.
It was just like practice yes-
terday, and just like the day be-
fore, Self said. Our approach
today was no different than if we
were preparing to play a midsea-
son game.
For the second straight
year, Kansas will play on Fri-
day night, in one of the last
games of the tournaments first
round. It will give the players
plenty of time to sit around,
watch other games, and think
about the game later in the
day.
Games at 9:30 are tough to
play because it makes for a long,
long day, but weve got our aca-
demic staff here and we can do
some things like a study hall,
Self said about what his team
might do to pass the time before
tip-off.
The team practiced earlier
in the day last year before the
Bucknell game, something
they will not do today. Instead,
Kansas will shoot around at
The Palace and wait until its
game.
We are just going to come out
hard every game and not think
about anything that happened
last year, freshman guard Ma-
rio Chalmers said. If we play
our game, we should do great in
this tournament.
Kansas is hoping that to-
nights game will be a start of
something special. The team
comes in as one of the hottest
teams in the country, winning
15 of its past 16 games head-
ing into tonights game against
Bradley.
If we play hard and play
together, I think we are going
to do great and go as far as
we possibly can, sophomore
center Sasha Kaun said.

Jayhawks prepare
for 1st round foe
t mENs BasKEtBaLL
It has begun. The greatest
tournament of the year is under
way. The madness is spreading. I
love this stuff.
Its too bad that Pacifc couldnt
pull off the double-overtime up-
set of Boston College Thursday,
because that would have been
a No. 13 seed victory against a
No. 4 seed that seems to happen
each year. All superstitions aside,
Kansas has a game to play tonight
against No. 13 seed Bradley out
of the Missouri Valley Confer-
ence. In this edition of Down the
Hall, Im going to play Joe Lunar-
di or Andy Katz (whomever you
prefer) and scout the Oakland
region. For what its worth, I won
my bracket pool last year.
The Kansas Jayhawks will
have no trouble getting past the
Bradley Braves. Yes, Bradley
does have a couple of seven-foot-
ers, but the Jayhawks are one of
the premier teams in the nation
right now, and theres no chance
on earth that coach Self will let
another Bucknell happen.
Speaking of Bucknell, did you
see which team the Jayhawks
might face in the Sweet Sixteen?
Think it, but dont bank on it. If
the Bison beat the Razorbacks in
the frst round, theyll likely face
the top-seeded Memphis Tigers in
the second. Memphis is good, but
Bucknell still returned the same
starting fve who beat Kansas last
year. I still move Memphis into the
Sweet Sixteen because of Rodney
Carney, Darius Washington Jr., and
Shawne Williams. The Jayhawks
will likely face Pittsburgh in the
second round, a very diffcult draw.
But I pick Kansas to beat the fourth
place Big East team, because Pitts-
burgh will have nowhere to turn
to if seven-footer Aaron Gray gets
into any foul trouble.
In the bottom half of the
bracket are the two pacifc coast
teams: Gonzaga and UCLA.
UCLA should use a virtual
home-court advantage to coast
into the Sweet Sixteen. The
Bruins could potentially make it
to Indianapolis without leaving
the state of California.
If I predicted last nights late
games correctly, Indiana and
Gonzaga both won close basket-
ball games. Ive been saying for
a couple of weeks that Gonzaga
will be an early exit because of all
those close WCC games it played
in, but that was before I found out
they could play San Diego State
or Indiana in the second round.
Adam Morrison and the mustache
will take the Zags to the round of
16 and lose to the Bruins.
Kansas defense will prove to be
too much for Rodney Carney and
John Caliparis Memphis Tigers,
and the Jayhawks will meet UCLA
in the regional fnal in Oakland for
the trip to Indianapolis. Kansas
and UCLA could make for a great
match-up; The battle of the under-
appreciated. UCLA has great mid-
size players in Aaron Affalo and
Josh Shipp and a capable seven-
footer in Ryan Hollins. The Bruins
will have a home-court advantage
in Oakland, but I think the Kansas
defense will be enough to stop the
Pacifc-10 champs.
Im not a homer: I really be-
lieve that this Kansas team got a
good break in the brackets and
its confdence is high after beat-
ing Texas. The Jayhawks can do
it, if they play tough defense, and
pour in the fastbreak points off
turnovers. Win or lose, it will be
one crazy ride. That is what this
month is all about madness.

Another game, another seven-
footer.
A week after beating Texas in
the Big 12 Championship game
and facing big man LaMarcus
Aldridge, Kansas will have to
face another seven-foot tall cen-
ter tonight when it plays its frst
round NCAA tournament game
against Bradley University.
Aldridge is projected to be
the frst pick in the NBA Draft
next season according to several
draft Web sites. Another player
who is mentioned on many of
those same Web sites is Patrick
OBryant.
OBryant, a sophomore at
Bradley, is averaging 13.2 points
per game and eight rebounds per
contest. Kansas coach Bill Self
said he knew OBryant was a
talented player that had a bright
future ahead of him.
We just played against a
real similar player in Aldridge
from Texas, Self said. Except
OBryant is heavier than he is.
There is no doubt that he will
play at the next level and be an
impact guy.
OBryant missed the frst eight
games of the season because he
was suspended by the NCAA
for an inadvertent violation of
the extra beneft rule during
the summer. The NCAA said
he made too much money this
summer at a job he held.
It made me want it more,
OBryant said. To sit there and
watch your team for eight games
and not be able to play, you
come back wanting to get some
revenge.
When he came back from the
suspension, OBryant didnt
miss a beat.

Party like

By miCHael PHilliPs

When opponents play North-
ern Iowa, they often resort to
zone defense to shut down
6-foot-7 inch forward Cassie
Hager.
Bonnie Henrickson had no
such plans. The Kansas coach
put her faith in senior forward
Crystal Kemp to shut down Hag-
er in a one-on-one match-up.
Kemp succeeded and the
Jayhawks picked up their frst
postseason victory since 1999,
defeating Northern Iowa 59-49
in the preliminary round of the
WNIT.
Before the game, Henrickson
gave Kemp a scouting report on
how to handle Hager.
I said be physical with her
and be fast around her, Hen-
rickson said. You might not see
the results in the frst half, but I
thought it paid dividends in the
second half, because I thought
she got tired and lost her legs a
little bit.

After her frst postseason
game, Marija Zinic sported a
new look.
In a physical, contested open-
er to the WNIT Thursday night,
the freshman forward caught
an elbow in the frst half from a
Northern Iowa guard that result-
ed in the start of a black eye.
I think shes going to put,
like, two tons of makeup on,
freshman guard Ivana Catic
said, of Zinics plan for Friday
morning.
Without Zinics aggressive
play in the second half, Kansas
trip to the WNIT might have
ended quickly. Zinic scored 11
of her 13 points in the second
half. On numerous plays she
was able to spin away from her
defender in the paint for easy
layups.

The Kansas tennis team
lost to No. 56 Kansas State on
Wednesday by a score of 6-1.
The Jayhawks started off
with a record of 4-1, and have
lost four straight matches,
and are 1-5 in their past six
matches.
Freshman Ksenia Bukina,
who at one point this season
held the No. 81 ranking in the
nation, is now No. 99.
The only Jayhawk player to
win a singles match against
the Wildcats was sophomore
Elizaveta Avdeeva against Jes-
sica Simosa in three sets.
The loss to Kansas State
gave Kansas a record of 5-6,

Baylors pitching poses a problem
By AlissA BAuer
abauer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Just an hour and a half be-
fore the Kansas mens bas-
ketball team kicks off March
Madness today, the Kansas
baseball team will kick off the
beginning of its Big 12 Confer-
ence season.
This season could be deemed
as the most diffcult non-confer-
ence schedule in Kansas his-
tory. The Jayhawks had a Rating
Per Index of 100 at the end of
last year. At the beginning of
this year, Kansass RPI was 26.
The RPI is a ranking based on
a teams intended strength of
schedule.
Its defnitely been a posi-
tive for us to play the teams
that weve played so far to get
ready for the Big 12, sopho-
more third baseman Erik Mor-
rison said. I think this team
is more ready than it was last
year.
Kansas will take on No. 18
Baylor (12-5) tonight in Waco,
Texas, to open the season.
Kansas has won nine of its
past 11 games, but hasnt fa-
vored well against Baylor lately.
The Jayhawks posted an 0-4 re-
cord against the Bears last sea-
son. Baylor, the defending Big
12 champion, is on a two-game
losing skid.
On Tuesday, the Bears fell
to the Houston Cougars, 5-3.
Baylor hitters put up a fght in
the ninth inning, closing a 5-
1 gap, but could not come out
on top.
Although the Jayhawks
could not bring home a series
victory against No. 3 Clem-
son last weekend, they were
just five outs shy of winning
Saturday and Sundays match-
ups. Kansas defeated Clemson
once during the three-game
series.
It was huge for us, junior
pitcher Sean Land said of the
victory. It was the frst time
that Ive been here that we
were expecting to win two
games while we were down
there. Thats a good feeling to
have.
Kansas will have to face a
pair of Baylor pitchers in senior
Ryan LaMotta (2-2) and junior
Cory VanAllen (3-1). Price said
he had a lot of respect for the
pair.
Obviously with Baylor, the
strength of their club is pitch-
ing, Price said. Ryan LaMotta
is as good as anybody in our
league, and VanAllen, I think, is
a second- or third-rounder out
of high school. They have phe-
nomenal pitching.
As history shows, Kansas
tends to score runs to cover for
its lack of pitching.
At the plate, Baylor catcher
Zach Dillon leads the team with
a .340 batting average and 13
RBI on the season.
Morrison was the only Jay-
hawk to get a base hit in every
game against Clemson last week-
end, which included a two-run
home run that paved the way for
a game-two victory.
Im taking good strides to
where I want to be, Morri-
son said. My forte is defense
thats kind of what I feed
off to hit and I havent really
played defense as well as Im
capable of. When that gets
going Ill be ready to go for
the Big 12.
Injured starters Ryne Price
and Matt Baty will not play this
weekend against Baylor. Price
has a broken wrist bone and
Baty lacerated his spleen and a
kidney in a collision when play-
ing against Lipscomb Univer-
sity.
I think were as ready as we
could possibly be to start con-
ference, Price said. And if we
were healthy, if we had a couple
more guys, wed be completely
ready.
Randall Sanders/KANSAN
Junior pitcher Sean Land hurls the ball against Western Illinois during the Jayhawks home opener March 3. The Jayhawks
will head to Waco, Texas to take on Baylor this weekend. Kansas coach Ritch Price said Baylors strength is in its pitching.
Alissa Bauer: Shawn, weve
got to give props to coach Ritch
Price and his squad for taking
on the non-conference sched-
ule that they have. Being 15-6
against the powerhouses theyve
faced on the road will be huge
going into Big 12 play tonight
against Baylor.
Shawn Shroyer: With the cali-
ber of teams Kansas has played
so far, I wouldnt be surprised if
Price and the Hawks are relieved
that conference play is here.
They cant afford to let down this
weekend, though. Eighteenth-
ranked Baylor reached the Col-
lege World Series last season and
might be even better this year.
AB: Agreed. They certainly
cant be any worse than last year.
Aces Ryan LaMotta and Cory
VanAllen are throwing again for
the Bears. Both did more than
fne against Kansas last year, es-
pecially LaMotta. Actually, a lot
of Big 12 pitchers did more than
fne against Kansas. I dont see
that happening in 2006; Kansas
is a force this year.
SS: No doubt. Gus Milner has
been an offensive juggernaut
and veterans Ritchie Price and
Jared Schweitzer are giving him
plenty of RBI opportunities. Ive
been most impressed with the
potential of newcomer junior
outfelder Kyle Murphy. You
never know if hes going to line
a double off the wall or drop a
bunt for a base hit, and he can
create havoc on the base paths.
Theres nothing more valuable
than a player who can turn a
single into a triple by stealing
his way around the bases. Who
do you see making an impact on
offense for Kansas in Big 12 play
who isnt making much noise
right now?
AB: Well, hes not making
any noise right now but were
only a week away from the re-
turn of Ryne Price. His ability
to produce will boost an offense
already hitting .300. Thats spec-
tacular considering Price and
senior lead-off man Matt Baty
have both been sidelined for the
past two weeks. The pair com-
bined to score 84 runs last sea-
son and already scored 20 times
in the pre-injury days of 2006.
SS: Yeah, but the Jayhawks
better hope their pitchers can
stay healthy. Senior righty Ko-
diak Quick leads all starters
right now with a 1.82 ERA and
25 strikeouts, while junior Sean
Land and senior Ricky Fairch-
ild both lead the team with four
wins. Plus, senior closer Don
Czyz leads the NCAA with eight
saves. After that, Kansas pitch-
ers dont have much experience.
Pitching will be the deciding fac-
tor as to who will come out on
top of the Big 12. Who is going to
claim the Big 12 title in May?
AB: The Jayhawks have the art
of scoring runs down to a sci-
ence, but the Big 12 is known for
its arms. Those who can pitch,
win. This year, Kansas joined the
arms race, but I still see Nebras-
ka, Texas and Baylor in the top
three spots. Solid pitching is rea-
son number one. But at number
four? Yep, Kansas.
SS: I cant dispute your top
two selections. The Huskers
are going to roll to another Big
12 Championship and CWS
appearance. As for the defend-
ing National Champs, at one
point, Texas was at 9-8. I dont
see them repeating this year, but
now at 14-9 they at least looked
poised to make a run at another
championship. Finally, in regard
to the Hawks, fve wins in their
next seven games before play-
ing Wichita State will send them
well on their way to a third-
place fnish in the Big 12.

When the Jayhawks were
fnally able to fatigue the Pan-
thers it was a tie game at 39-
39 with 9 minutes left. For the
next 8 minutes, Northern Iowa
did not make a shot from the
feld, ending any opportunity it
would pull the upset and allow-
ing Kansas to celebrate the vic-
tory in the games fnal minutes.
Kemp fnished the game as the
leading scorer, getting 18 points
on 21 shots. Kemp also allowing
Hager to block only two shots.
I let her know I wasnt scared
to shoot, Kemp said.
She added that it would be great
preparation for players she might
face if she decided to play profes-
sional basketball next year. The
victory means Kansas will play the
University of Mississippi on Sunday
at 6 p.m. That game will be in Allen
Fieldhouse. It will be the frst round
of the WNIT. Thursday nights game
was part of the play-in round to nar-
row the feld from 40 to 32.
We had to prove that we were
supposed to be in it, senior
guard Erica Hallman said, and I
think we did a good job.
Henrickson said the team would
try to build on the confdence it de-
veloped in Thursdays game, and
perhaps nobody would be able to
do that more than Kaylee Brown.
The senior guard had shot just
12-of-52 in her last six games, but
found herself with an open look
and a chance to put the game away
with the Jayhawks up seven and 3
minutes left. She drained a three
and ran downcourt while getting
high-fves from her teammates.
It was good to see, Henrick-
son said. Its been a while since
weve seen her hit a big bucket
in the corner.
Brown fnished with nine points,
and Hallman had 13, but the game
was won inside, where Kemp and
freshman forward Marija Zinic
combined for 31 points. It was a
typical March game, with both sides
fghting for position and trying to
muscle out the other players.
At frst youve got to play
with the refs to see what you
can do, Kemp said. After we
all fgured it out we were able to
go in there and get some good
ones that probably should have
been called on both ends.
Kansas will have two days to
recover before taking the court
again against Mississippi and
getting another opportunity to
extend the season.
I was so anxious the entire
week, freshman guard Ivana
Catic said. I couldnt sleep. I
just want a chance to stay in the
game and keep playing.
Zinic
With Northern Iowas defense
focused on stopping All-Big 12
senior forward Crystal Kemp in
the paint, Zinic had numerous
open looks at the basket.
They doubled Crystal the
whole time, Zinic said. Basi-
cally, I was wide open. I was just
trying to fnd a way to make the
wide open shots.
Zinics ability to knock down
the open shots enabled Kansas
to close a six-point Northern
Iowa lead early in the second
half. With the Jayhawks trailing
by three with 9 minutes remain-
ing, Zinic pulled down an offen-
sive rebound, scored the basket
and was fouled, giving her team
the lead for good. Northern
Iowa coach Tony DiCecco said
Zinic was a better player than
he realized when scouting Kan-
sas before the game.
I thought that Zinic did a
good job and stepped up, which
was the difference in the game,
DiCecco said.
Zinics play in the paint en-
abled Kemp to score easy bas-
kets after UNI stopped doubling
Kemp to focus on Zinic.
She was able to fnish tough
shots, Kemp said. She got on
a roll being aggressive and thats
what we need her to do.
For Zinic, the game marked
the second consecutive game
she scored in double fgures off
the bench. She scored 13 points
against Northern Iowa and a ca-
reer-high 14 points against Kan-
sas State in the Big 12 Confer-
ence Tournament.
Zinics teammates have credit-
ed part of her strong fnish to the
season to her adjustment to the
English language. Zinic, a Novi
Sad, Serbia and Montenegro, na-
tive, had never been to the Unit-
ed States before last fall.
I think she had gotten more
comfortable with the language
and just her understanding of
the game has become so much
better, freshman guard Ivana
Catic said.
Tournament
Self knows that fans at
Kansas have high expecta-
tions, especially come tour-
nament time.
You are going to be evalu-
ated day-to-day, and if you dont
like where you are, improve it
tomorrow.
If you like where you are,
you better work your butt of to
stay where it is, Self said. Its
not fair, but thats the reality of
the way the game is when you
coach at Kansas.
Kaun said that there was
a distinct difference between
this years team and last years
team in that Self recruited
nearly all of the players that
are playing a significant role
this season.
This year we have a young
group and a very coachable
group, Kaun said. Hes just
doing his job coaching us and
just having fun doing it.
Kaun said he thought Bradley
and Kansas were similar.
They both feature a tall
front court and a quick back
court.
They are a fast team and do
a tremendous job pressuring the
ball, Kaun said. Its going to
be a great match-up.
Basketball Notes:
Should Kansas win tonight,
the time of its game Sunday
may change. Currently Kan-
sas is scheduled to play at 11
a.m., which is the lone game
being played, meaning it
would be a national telecast
on CBS.
Depending how Kansas and
other games play out, CBS can
move start times.
Associate Athletics Director
Jim Marchiony said Thursday
that Kansas would fnd out af-
ter its game tonight, should it
win, what time it would play
Sunday either at 11 a.m. or
30 minutes following the 11
a.m. game.
Test
He scored 17 points in his
frst game against Northern
Iowa and grabbed 11 rebounds.
His season really picked up to-
ward the end.
He had a streak of fve games
in conference play where he
averaged 19 points a game and
the team went 4-1 during that
streak.
OBryant arrived on NBA
scouts radar last summer when
he attended the Michael Jordan
Flight School in California and
the Pete Newell Big Man Camp
in Las Vegas. At that camp, he
was roommates with Kansas
sophomore center Sasha Kaun.
Kaun and OBryant have nev-
er played against each other in
a game, but Kaun said he knew
how talented the Bradley big
man was, and said that it would
be a challenge to slow him down
in tonights game.
You have to make him feel
you every possession, whether
its offense or defense, Kaun
said. You just have to play real
physical with him. Hes a big
body and you have to play smart
against him, you cant get in foul
trouble.
When OBryant came out of
high school, despite being seven
feet and 250 pounds, he didnt
draw interest from major Divi-
sion I programs. The three fnal-
ists for OBryant were Bradley,
Fresno State and Southern Illi-
nois.
OBryant said college recruit-
ers doubted his desire and dedi-
cation to work hard.
He said he used that as mo-
tivation every time he took the
foor.
Kansas will have one advan-
tage when guarding OBryant
and thats its depth at the for-
ward position.
Kansas rotates four guys
regularly, Kaun, sophomores
CJ Giles and Darnell Jackson
and freshman Julian Wright. Se-
nior Christian Moody could see
some minutes too.
Jackson said having so much
depth at the front court posi-
tions could hurt OBryant when
he faced off against Kansas.
I think having so many guys
available could hurt him because
we all play a little different style
of defense, Jackson said. Not
to mention, well all be fresher
than he will.

After its frst postseason vic-
tory in seven seasons, Kansas
will take on Mississippi Sunday
at 6 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Rebels had a bye in the pre-
liminary round of the WNIT.
The game was originally
scheduled for Saturday after-
noon, but Mississippi had prob-
lems fnding a charter fight to
Lawrence.
It is actually good because
it gives us two days instead of
one, Kansas coach Bonnie
Henrickson said of the game be-
ing moved back a day. Ole Miss
is tremendously athletic.
The Rebels have one of the
nations few point guards who
averages a double-double on the
season. Armintie Price, a 5-foot-
9 inch guard, averages 17 points
and 10 rebounds per game.
Mississippi has three starters
who average double-fgures in
points. The problem the Rebels
will have against Kansas is its
height. Mississippi only has one
player over 6-2, while Kansas
has three.
Mississippi lost in the semif-
nals of the Southeastern Confer-
ence Tournament to Louisiana
State, 91-73.
As a team, Mississippi fn-
ished eighth in the Southeast-
ern Conference with a 16-13
record.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The
Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers
have stopped surprising them-
selves in the NCAA tourna-
ment.
Pulling off their third major
upset in two years, the 11th-
seeded Horizon League cham-
pions got 24 points apiece from
Joah Tucker and Boo Davis to
eliminate No. 6 seed Oklahoma
82-74 in the Minneapolis Re-
gional on Thursday.
Tucker, one of the stars in
Milwaukees stunning run to the
round of 16 last season, scored
nine during a 23-7 surge that
carried the Panthers (22-8) to a
60-46 lead with just over seven
minutes to go.
The closest Oklahoma (20-9)
got the rest of the way was six.
Terrell Everett led the Sooners
with 21 points, but most of his
production came after it was too
late.
With four starters back
but without coach Bruce Pearl,
now at Tennessee from the
team that upset Alabama and
Boston College before losing
to eventual national finalist
Illinois in last years tourna-
ment, Milwaukee had both
the experience and confidence
necessary to get the job done
again against an Oklahoma
team that many felt under-
achieved in finishing third in
the Big 12.
Inconsistency undermined
the Sooners all season, and it
looked like they could be in for
a long afternoon when Tuckers
high-arcing three-pointer put
Milwaukee up 24-14 with just
over eight minutes left in the
opening half.
But just as quickly as it ap-
peared the game might be slip-
ping away, Michael Neal hit a
three-pointer and Kevin Book-
out made two easy baskets to
start a 17-9 run that closed
Oklahomas defcit to 33-31 at
the half.
The Sooners closed the
gap despite playing the last
three minutes of the half with-
out Bookout, who walked off
clutching his already-taped left
wrist after getting tangled with a
Milwaukee player and tumbling
to the foor.
The Oklahoma forward re-
turned for the start of the sec-
ond half with his wrist taped
even more heavily and fin-
ished with 14 points. David
Godbold had 15 points and
leading scorer Taj Gray had 13
before fouling out in the clos-
ing minutes.

SALT LAKE CITY Bos-
ton College got the frst NCAA
thriller out of the way Thursday,
a double-overtime 88-76 victory
that derailed scrappy Pacifc and
the Maraker Express.
The fnal overtime was anti-
climactic, but the fourth-seeded
Eagles (27-7) made it interesting
for the frst 45 minutes.
BC trailed by six early in the
frst overtime and needed a pair
of free throws from Craig Smith,
a 66 percent shooter, with 4.3
seconds left to send the game
into the next extra period.
With nine seconds left in
regulation, Pacifcs star, Chris-
tian Maraker, hit an open three-
pointer to tie the game at 65
a shot the Pacifc fans were
cheering for even before it left
his hands.
But BC held Maraker score-
less in the two overtimes and
the 13th-seeded Tigers (24-8)
failed in their quest to advance
to the second round for the third
straight year.
Everyone on the BC team
but Jared Dudley took the ra-
zor to their head before the
game and now, the Eagles will
take their game, and their new
look, into the second round
of the Minneapolis regional
against either Nevada or Mon-
tana.
Smith led the Eagles with 25
points and 13 rebounds and
Dudley had 23 points. Tyrese
Rice opened the second over-
time with an alley-oop pass to
Sean Williams for a dunk, then
followed with a three-pointer
his only bucket of the game
to help Boston College start
pulling away.
Pacifc had a bunch of nice
looks early in that overtime,
but Maraker (30 points, nine re-
bounds) and Johnny Gray each
had three-pointers rim out. By
the time the Big West champs
scored, they were trailing by
nine with 1:45 left playing out
the string in an otherwise taut,
exciting game.
Mike Webb opened the frst
overtime with a pair of three-
pointers to put Pacifc ahead 71-
65. BC pulled within two, but
Gray (16 points) answered with
another three to make it 74-69.
But Dudley made a three-point-
er to pull it within two and after
Michael White barely grazed the
rim on Pacifcs next possession,
the Eagles worked it to Smith,
who drew contact inside against
Maraker and went to the line for
the tying free throws.
As the second overtime
wore down and it became
clear this would be Marakers
last college game, the small
Pacific fan base got its point
across yelling overrated
to the BC players who had to
work hard against the team
from Stockton, Calif.

KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
In a Class of its Own.
Player to watch:
CJ Giles. The sophomore center
will have his
hands full when
he faces Bradleys
7-footer, Patrick
OBryant. Giles
will not start,
but will play
an integral role
when he replaces
sophomore cen-
ter Sasha Kaun.
Giles needs to play good defense
and use his long arms to help
alter OBryants shots. He also
needs to make sure he does not
pick up careless fouls. If Giles can
stop OBryant, it will allow Kansas
to spread its defense.
offense:
With freshman guard Brandon Rush struggling
on the offensive end in recent weeks, Kansas
has found other ways to get points. Freshman
guard Mario Chalmers has been more active
and averaged 16 points per game during the Big
12 Tournament last week en route to a Most
Outstanding Player of the tournament award.
Senior guard Jeff Hawkins provided a spark
off the bench by hitting four of fve clutch
three-pointers during the Big 12 Cham-
pionship game. The Kansas offense will
need to get the ball inside to sophomore
centers Sasha Kaun and CJ Giles to get
the Bradley big men in foul trouble.
Defense:
The Kansas defense is the
best in the nation in feld goal
percentage defense, allowing
its opponents to shoot just 36.8
percent from the feld. Kansas
does it with frst team all-Big
12 defensive team guards Mario
Chalmers and Russell Robinson.
These two pressure opposing
guards and force steals. Chalmers
led the conference in steals with
2.69 per game. The Kansas post
players will have their hands full
guarding Bradleys Patrick OBryant
and Marcellus Sommerville. Kaun
and Giles will not be expected to
do much on the offensive end,
but they must fnd a way to stop
Sommerville and OBryant if Kan-
sas is going to get the victory.
coaches:
There have been
few coaching jobs in
the country this sea-
son as impressive as
the job of Kansas coach Bill Self.
Self has led a starting line up of
three freshmen and two sopho-
mores to a Big 12 Champion-
ship. His players have bought into
playing defense, leading to one of the most
dominant defensive teams in the country. Self
was honored by the Big 12 as coach of the year
and most certainly will be a candidate for national
coach of the year. Self needs to fnd a way to stop
Bradley post players Sommerville and OBryant. If
Self can fnd a way, it should be an easy victory for
Kansas.

one game at a time
at a glance:
Kansas comes into the tour-
nament as one of the hottest
teams in the nation. Kansas
has won 22 of its past 25
games, went 13-3 in confer-
ence play and won three
straight games in the confer-
ence tournament to take the
title. Kansas does it with youth,
with its top seven scorers be-
ing freshmen and sophomores.
5 Quick facts:
2 - Final Four appearances
in Bradleys school history, in
1950 and 1954.
9.2 - Bradleys steals per
game, right behind Kansas 9.7
steals per game.
5 - Bradleys position in the
Mo. Valley Conference. The
team still managed to earn a
NCAA tournament bid as an
at-large team.
13-0 - The teams record
this season when Bradley has
fewer fouls than its opponent.
14-4 - Bradleys record
on the season when it out
rebounds its opponents.

Wichita State shocks East
By AAron BeArd
GREENSBORO, N.C.
Score an early victory for the
Missouri Valley Conference
against its critics.
Sean Ogirri had 23 points
and hit six three-point shots
to lead Wichita State past Se-
ton Hall of the vaunted Big
East 86-66 Thursday in the
frst round of the Washington
regional. This gave the mid-
major conference an impres-
sive debut after hearing plenty
about its haul of four NCAA
tournament bids.
Paul Miller scored 15 points
for the seventh-seeded Shockers
(25-8). It was their frst NCAA
tournament game since an 83-
62 frst-round loss to DePaul in
1988.
Kelly Whitney scored 18
points to lead the 10th-seeded
Pirates (18-12), who battled
through the rugged Big East to
reach the tournament for the
second time in three seasons.
It was Wichita States frst
tournament victory in 25 years
and provided the MVC a quick
bit of vindication after raising
eyebrows with four bids, the
same as the Atlantic Coast, Big
12 and Pac-10 conferences.
The criticism included CBS
analyst Billy Packer grilling
selection committee chairman
Craig Littlepage over the selec-
tions, which clearly bothered
Wichita State coach Mark Tur-
geon.
The coach insisted his team
which won the regular-sea-
son title, but lost in the league
tournament belonged in the
NCAA tournament. He said the
Shockers were eager to play a
Big East school. He was proven
right on both counts.
Wichita State led just about
the entire way, getting a strong
frst half from Ogirri and Miller
to build a 20-point lead late in
the half and lead by 16 at the
break.
Seton Hall never got closer
than 11 in the second half, end-
ing an up-and-down season that
saw the Pirates beat Pittsburgh
and West Virginia and also lose
to Duke by 53 points in Novem-
ber.
Miller scored 11 points in
the frst half, starting the game
with a hook shot just nine sec-
onds in. He followed that up by
a jumper from the right corner
on the next possession. Ogirri,
meanwhile, scored 12 points on
four three-point shots.
Seton Hall tried to rally, pull-
ing to 55-44 on a three-point
shot from Donald Copeland
with about 12 minutes left. But
the Shockers never let the Pi-
rates get the lead below double
fgures.
Shockers make it to next round
5 Quick facts:
15 victories for Kansas in
its past 16 games
17 consecutive NCAA
tournament appearances for
Kansas
2.69 Steals per game for
freshman guard Mario Chalm-
ers
13.6 points per game for
freshman guard Brandon Rush
36.8 feld goal percent-
age defense for Kansas, which
leads the nation
key to victory:
Forget about the hype. It ap-
pears that nearly every national
pundit from Digger Phelps to
Jay Bilas thinks that Kansas is
going to make a signifcant run
in the tournament this season.
Kansas players need to focus on
their opponent today rather than
what they might do in a few
weeks. That should not be diff-
cult for Kansas, if it looks at what
happened to the team last year
in a frst-round loss to Bucknell.
last time out:
Kansas avenged a 25-point
loss to Texas earlier this season
by defeating the Longhorns
in Dallas in the Big 12 Cham-
pionship game. Freshman
guard Mario Chalmers led the
way for Kansas throughout
the conference tournament,
averaging 16 points per game.
Kansas had fve players in
double fgures in the game and
held Texas center LaMarcus
Aldridge to just fve points.
Player to watch:
marcellus sommerville. The senior
forward was named second-
team all-confer-
ence this year
after being
named frst-team
in 2004 and 2005.
He averaged 15.4
points per game
this season. Dur-
ing the past 14
games, Sommer-
ville has been
the teams hottest player, scoring
16.7 points per game and shoot-
ing 47 percent from the feld.
at a glance:
Its not diffcult to fnd the spot
when the Bradley season turned
around. On Jan. 11, Bradley lost
at home to Wichita State, its third
loss in a row. The loss dropped
the team to 2-4 in conference
and 8-6 overall. After starting
four new players the next game
against Evansville, the team won
90-62 and then went on to fnish
the season 12-4.
last time out:
Bradley lost the Missouri Val-
ley title game to Southern Illi-
nois and had to wait and see if
it would receive an at-large bid
for the NCAA tournament. Af-
ter waiting a week, the Braves
found out they did receive
an invitation. In the Southern
Illinois game, Bradley took a
one-point lead into halftime,
but couldnt hold it together in
the second half.
key to victory:
Keeping Patrick OBryant out
of foul trouble. Kansas proved
last week things are easier
for them when the dominant
big man is on the opposing
bench. Kansas found that out
last weekend when it beat
Texas and its center LaMarcus
Aldridge wasnt in the game
because of foul trouble. If
the 7-foot OBryant is in the
game, he will cause as many
problems for Sasha Kaun and
CJ Giles as Aldridge did. He is
a sure-fre NBA player and is
extremely talented.

TIP-OFF
Kansas vs. Bradley
8:30 p.m., The Palace of Auburn Hills
KANsAs
BRADleY
offense:
Bradley fnished the season in a furry,
winning eight of its last 10 games, and it
has done it with its offense. The Braves
regularly score more than 70 points a
game and were the highest-scoring team
in the Missouri Valley Conference with 74.4
points per game. As a team, the Braves shot
44.4 percent from the feld and 32.9 percent
from three-point distance. The teams lead-
ing scorer was senior Marcellus Sommer-
ville, who averaged 15.4 points per game.
He led the team with 53 three-pointers on
the season. Bradley has a total of three play-
ers who average in double fgures: Patrick
OBryant, Tony Bennett and Lawrence Wright.
Defense:
Bradley boasts the Missouri Valley Conference
Defensive Player of the Year in sophomore center
OBryant. OBryant led the conference in blocked
shots. He enters the NCAA tournament 9th nation-
ally. OBryant had 69 blocks on the season, with
the next closest MVC player coming in at 21. Senior
guard Tony Bennett was third in the MVC with two
steals per game. Although Bennett led the team in steals,
Bradley coach Jim Les said that junior guard J.J. Tauai was
the teams best man-to-man defender. Tauai is not much of
a threat on offense but starts because of his defensive abili-
ties. Bradleys opponents shot just 39.8 percent from the
feld, just 2 percent more than Kansas opponents.
coaches:
Coach Les might have saved
his job this year by compiling a
20-9 record. It was his frst win-
ning season at Bradley, and came
in his ffth season as coach. Before
this season, Les record at Bradley was 49-69. Not only is this
Les frst NCAA Tournament, it is his frst postseason game in his
tenure at Bradley. Les played at Bradley and became the 45th coach
nationally to play in the NCAA tournament and then lead his alma
mater back to the tournament. Even if Les team loses to Kansas
tonight, it will still fnish the year with its best winning percentage
since the 1995-1996 team, which fnished 22-8.
