Chestnut, Dever get frst term,
Highberger wins re-election
By MAtt Erickson
Lawrence voters
including a typically low
number of University
students shuffled seats
on the city commission
Tuesday as newcom-
ers Mike Dever and Rob
Chestnut took the top
two spots in the commis-
sion election, according to
unofficial election results.
Dever, Chestnut and
incumbent commissioner
Dennis Boog Highberger
earned commission seats
as the top three vote-get-
ters. Incumbent David
Schauner and challeng-
ers James Bush and Carey
Maynard-Moody failed to
win seats.
Dever said Lawrence
voters had signaled a
desire for change.
I think they were ready
for some new ideas and
new blood, he said.
Dever, owner of a local
environmental consulting
firm, and Chestnut, chief
financial officer for a local
publisher, will get four-
year commission terms.
Highberger, an attorney
for the state of Kansas, will
serve a two-year term.
According to city com-
mission rules, the top two
vote getters receive a four-
year term, the third place
candidate serves a two-
year term.

safety
By kAty BLAir
The only question he wouldnt
answer was about his kinkiest sex
hobby.
Dan Savage, a sex columnist and
radio talk show host, spoke in a
nearly full Woodruff Auditorium
about sex, love and anal beads for
Pride Week.
I come here
and talk about
politics, and
you want to talk
about three-ways
and anal beads,
Savage said.
You knew what
you wanted to
ask before I even
got to Kansas.
Savage kept
the audience
rolling throughout the evening with
a question-and-answer session about
sex and sexuality.
He first compared sex education
in U.S. schools to drivers ed.
They taught you all about how
internal combustion works; they did
not teach you how to drive, Savage
said. If I drove after that, I think
the first thing I would do is kill
somebody.
After the laughter died down,
Savage approached the issue serious-
ly. Savage said sex education wasnt
teaching people what they needed to
know, like what consent really was.
As a columnist, Savage said he got
never-ending letters from readers
asking things that they should know
but dont because sex education
doesnt talk about real sexual issues
or interests.
The sex col-
umnist came to
Lawrence not
only to support
Pride Week as a
publicly gay male
for 27 years, but
to advocate pride
for all sexual life-
styles.
We need a
straight pride
parade, Savage
said. We problematize heterosexu-
ality. Its lacking in our culture.
Savage said in any relationship
there must be open communica-
tion about sex to maintain healthy
bonds.
The audience laughed most of the
evening as Savage answered question
after question about three-ways, how
to effectively use anal beads, and the
Speaker advocates
pride for all lifestyles
student senate
Process to increase
student fees in review
By AshLEE kiELEr
Student Senate will review bills to
raise the Student Health Fee and the
Student Union Fee tonight.
The proposed Health Fee asks
for a $13.25 increase, The Student
Union fee would increase $6 per
semester if passed.
Student Senate passed a bill before
spring break amending the process
in which student fees are reviewed.
The changes affect the way in
which student fee increases for
the Student Union Fee, Student
Health Fee, Student Recreation
Fee and the Transportation Fee
are reviewed.
Mike Wellems, Andover, Minn.,
senior and Finance Committee exec-
utive chairman, said the fees were
reviewed every three years, but some
operations wait longer.
With the new guidelines, the fees
will be reviewed every year.
Some of the bigger fees would
benefit from a small increase each
year, Wellems said.
Andrew Payne, Garden City senior
and Student Executive Committee
chairman, authored the bill.
The small increases every year
would help the operations from
going into deficit, Payne said.
Payne said that in the past, fees
had been increased every five to six
years.
Large increases help the opera-
tions get more money than they need
for three years creating a reserve,
that at the end of the three years they
need to dip into, creating a deficit,
Payne said.
Large increases every five to
six years allow operations to gain
more money than originally need-
ed at first. During the next three
years when inflation increases,
funds run out, creating a deficit,
Payne said.
Lighting up bicycle safety
Students can get
free headlight,
taillight kits from
KU Public Safety
Ofce at several
campus booths
By Erick r. schMidt
As more bicyclists hit the road
with spring weather approaching,
the KU Public Safety Office is tak-
ing steps to make sure riders stay
safe at no cost to bike owners.
For the second consecutive
year, KU Public Safety Officers
gave away bike headlight and tail-
light kits Tuesday to students out-
side the Student Recreation and
Fitness Center.
The kits were
given away as
part of a safety
promotion by
the KU Public
Safety Office,
C o c a - C o l a ,
Cycle Works,
S u n f l o w e r
Outdoor and
Bike Shop
and the city
of Lawrence.
Along with the lights, an officer
provided safety pamphlets about
local bike paths, bike safety and
other information. A visible head-
light and a blinking taillight are
required by the city for all bicycles
after dark.
Officer Zeke Cunningham gave
away the kits both last year and
this year. He said students were
sometimes hesitant to approach
the booth because they were afraid
something was being sold, but
once students realized what he was
doing, he got plenty of business.
Some days we give them away
real fast, Cunningham said. Some
days you wait around.
Calvin Morris, Leawood fresh-
man, visited the booth and received
the headlight and taillight kit. He
said he tried to ride safely, even
though he didnt wear a helmet.
I just dont ride aggressive,
Morris said. People are usually
pretty respectful of me.
Though he doesnt ride his
bike around
town, Morris
said riding on
campus rarely
presented any
problems.
Sometimes
pedestrians get
scared when
you go by too
fast, Morris
said. But
everyone gets
along pretty
well.
Dan Hughes, owner of
Sunflower Outdoor and Bike
Shop, 804 Massachusetts St., said
Lawrence was a bicycling-friendly
city, but that its greatest obstacle
was geography.
When youve got a giant hill,
its tough to get people to want to
ride around town, Hughes said.
Lawrence has made great strides,
though, with its recreation bike
routes.
When youve got a giant hill,
its tough to get people to want
to ride around town.

Kansan advertising wins
award for best staf
The Kansan advertising staf
made sure the University had
at least one championship to
its name this spring by winning
the award for Best Advertising
Student Staf of the Year along
with 10 other awards at the
College Newspaper Business
and Advertising Managers con-
ference in Portland, Ore., last
week. The award for best staf
was selected based on the total
number of points accumulated
in the competition.
Lindsey Shirack, Kansan busi-
ness manager, said the staf won
four awards last year out of a
possible 22. Schools are divided
into two categories based on
readership, with frst through
third awarded in each. An over-
all best in category winner is
also chosen from those winners.
Its been a goal of a lot of
people that have worked here
to win this, Shirack said.
Shirack said the staf last won
the award in 2001, which was
its third in four years. When I
frst came here it was kind of
expected that we would win
it and then we didnt for a few
years, she said. To fnally do
that again is a huge accom-
plishment.

Ryan Rabe
By Hali Baker
Ryan Rabe knows how to work
the system. An accounting and
finance major, Rabe figured out his
sophomore year that he could make
connections and earn money by
becoming a teaching assistant. After
taking Finance 310, Finance, in
the Spring 2005, Rabe enjoyed the
course so much that he never left.
Now in his fourth semester of help-
ing teach the class, Rabe, Overland
Park senior, has a special attachment
to it. The exposure to a different per-
spective of campus and the relation-
ships he has made with faculty have
drawn him back to help teach each
semester. Another benefit of being a
TA is the opportunity to work with
students.
I enjoy being able to help people,
and it makes you famous, Rabe said.
He said that students in his section
liked him because he gave out extra
credit. When Rabe isnt working as
a TA, he spends his time overseeing
the Undergraduate Business Council.
Rabe worked his way from Food Stop
volunteer to president of the UBC,
supervising all 11 organizations affili-
ated with the School of Business.
His commitments leave him little
free time, but Rabe said he didnt
regret being heavily involved. Rabe
said the experience he has had in
college so far would benefit him
when he graduates in December and
starts full-time work.

Dancers perform next to a swimming pool during the opening day of Mexico Citys frst of four city beaches on Tuesday. Mexico Citys mayor plans to build four beaches in this smoggy mountain capital. The
project has been lampooned as a joke and a waste of money by Mexicos rich, who spend their vacations at real beachside resorts. But the leftist mayors supporters welcome the sand as a city getaway for
millions of poor residents of the Mexico City area who have never seen a beach in their lives.

Play addresses gray
areas of abortion issue
By Bethany Bunch
After four days of dress rehears-
als and a semester of planning, the
University Theatre will perform
Keely and Du, a play addressing
abortion from both sides of the
issue.
The play will open at 7:30 tonight
at the William Inge Memorial
Theatre in Murphy Hall, which is
located north of Allen Fieldhouse.
Weve been working on set
design for five or six years now.
Dennis Christilles, associate profes-
sor of theatre and film, joked.
He admitted that it had actu-
ally been only for the duration of the
semester that he
had been work-
ing on costume
and lighting and
that students had
done most of the
work.
I did the least
work and proud
of it, Christilles
said.
The produc-
tion is direct-
ed by Katrina
Bondari, Lenox, Ga., doctoral stu-
dent in theatre studies. Bondari said
the play focused on the gray areas of
abortion.
Whether you are pro-choice or
pro-life, abortion is a hot topic in
our society, Bondari said. While
Keely and Du focuses on the abor-
tion issue, the play celebrates life and
the willingness of people to fight
for life.
In the play, two members of a rad-
ical Christian anti-abortion group
kidnap a pregnant girl, who is carry-
ing the child of her rapist and seek-
ing out an abortion clinic.
Bondari said the play was unique
because it was able to graphical-
ly depict the issue without being
slanted.
Its about the struggle of life
and fighting for life, Bondari said.
Either way just remember the indi-
vidual in the situation.
Madison Spencer, Leawood grad-
uate student in scenography, helped
with set design and costumes. She
said the group worked well together.
Its been a really fun group work-
ing collaboratively, Spencer said.
Everyone is very open to hearing
suggestions.
The play was
written by Jane
Martin and first
performed in
1993. Martin
developed a
bond between
the rape victim
and her kidnap-
pers that keeps
the play human-
istic rather than
political.
Friends of the Theatre is sponsor-
ing a Tuesday Talkback with the
director, designers and cast imme-
diately following the April 10 per-
formance.
General admission tickets for Keely
and Du are on sale in the KU ticket
offices. Tickets are $10 for students,
$11 for senior citizens, KU faculty and
staff, and $12 for the public.
This production deals with adult
subject matter, includes strong lan-
guage and portrays graphic violence.
It is not suitable for children.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA A domestic dispute
erupted in gunfire at CNNs head-
quarters complex Tuesday, killing a
woman and critically wounding the
ex-boyfriend who pulled a gun on
her, authorities said.
The man and woman were argu-
ing near the main entrance of the
complex when the man shot her,
police officer James Polite said. The
armed man was then shot by a CNN
security guard.
The woman was pronounced
dead on arrival at a hospital, authori-
ties said. The man was in critical
condition.
The woman, who checked
and stocked honor bars at a hotel
attached to CNN Center, was Clara
Riddles, 22, of College Park, said
Caryn Kboudi, a spokeswoman for
the Texas-based Omni Hotel chain.
CNN reported that the offices of
its Internet operations, CNN.com,
were immediately evacuated. Video
footage also showed police pointing
guns at a man lying on the ground
at the bottom of an escalator inside
the building.
An announcement over the
buildings public-address system said
there had been gunfire with poten-
tial casualties. Police cordoned off
an area by the escalators near the
main entrance, facing Centennial
Olympic Park.
The park was the site of a bomb-
ing that killed a woman and injured
more than 100 people during the
1996 Summer Olympics.
I heard four or five shots. I really
didnt see it. I got out of there quick,
said Jas Stanford, 27, who had been
helping take down a temporary stage
in the park used for college basket-
balls Final Four festivities.
Besides the Omni Hotel, the CNN
complex also includes a large atrium
and a food court. It is connected to
Philips Arena, the home of the NBAs
Atlanta Hawks.
In the food court, Trina Johnson,
44, of Atlanta, was with her daughter
on a family outing.
All of a sudden we heard a big
boom. We thought it was an explo-
sion, Johnson said. We didnt see
the gun. Everybody just started run-
ning.
Soon afterward, CNN coverage
of the shooting was being shown on
large-screen televisions inside the
atrium, near where the shooting had
taken place.
A message seeking comment was
left with CNN officials.

Hughes said most pressure from
motorists happened because of
congestion on Lawrences roads.
Everyone wants to get where
theyre going, and they want to get
there now, Hughes said.
The state of Kansas has recently
taken initiative in providing more
bicycle knowledge for motorists.
Beginning in 2006, questions about
approaching and passing bicyclists
have been included on the drivers
license examination, according to
the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The most common complaint
from bicyclists in Lawrence,
Hughes said, was motorists and
bicyclists alike who didnt know
the laws, rights and responsibilities
that go along with riding. About six
times a year, Hughes said, a passing
motorist would yell at him about
staying on the sidewalks or rid-
ing in single-file lines. He said he
understood the mindset, because
more frequently than poor motor-
ist behavior, he saw bicyclists who
didnt know what they were doing.
Im sitting at a red light and a
guy flies by me through the inter-
section on a bike, and Im thinking,
Youre not doing me any favors,
bud, Hughes said.
Hughes said it was important
for both sides to be aware of one
another to keep the roads as safe
as possible.
Anybody who uses the roads
should know and uphold the laws
in place, Hughes said. If youre
riding, ride like a car and act like
a car.

Ive been reading Dan Savages

Hank Dawson, a freshman at

Baldwin City to see Savage. Dawson
said he read the column with his

in person.
Jonathan Pryor, Columbus

Allies, said he was also pleased that
Savage could come to Lawrence for
Pride Week.
He has a pretty good following
here, Pryor said. People recognize
him, both gay and straight, which
I thought was important because
Pride Week isnt just about LGBT
people, its for our allies too.
Savage closed out the evening
by quoting Queen Elizabeth II by
saying, Grief is the price we pay for
love. Savage said everyone should
understand and celebrate his or
her sexuality instead of making it
taboo.
His final advice for the night
went to a 27-year-old single male,
wanting to know what he should
do. Savage gave him one simple
answer.

The small yearly increases would
only affect operational costs. No new
services would be added though the
review. Like all increases, they must
be approved by the full Senate.
Wellems said this had been a year
to catch up for increases.
This year student fees have
increased $31 per semester. Fees
increased for the Student Recreation
and Fitness Center by $6. The trans-
portation fee increased $20 to pur-
chase newer buses. The passage of an
expanded wireless Internet initiative,
a bill that would not be reviewed by
the guidelines, created a fee increase
of $5.
Each fee increase would make it
possible for each service to continue
working at their current level while
meeting inflationary costs.
Payne said the new guidelines
would be helpful to students and
budget planners.
The small increases will make
it easier to plan and provide more
stability, Payne said.

Jamie Shew, Douglas County
clerk, said voting in precincts near
campus was low as usual. He said
that five to seven percent of regis-
tered voters actually voted in those
precincts. County wide, voter par-
ticipation was about 19 percent.
Some precincts in west Lawrence
registered up to 40 percent partici-
pation.
Shew said only 12 voters less
than one percent showed up at
the Burge Union, the voting site
for Precinct 10. Nearly 80 percent
of the precincts 1,928 registered
voters are 18 to 24 years old by
far the highest percentage in the
county.
In each of the countys precincts
with the top seven percentages of 18-
to 24-year-old voters, Highberger,
Schauner and Maynard-Moody
attracted the most votes.
Dever said he was excited about
the results.
Im really looking forward to
stopping talking and starting work-
ing, he said.
He said he would like to attract
more jobs to Lawrence, give students
who live far from campus an oppor-
tunity to ride a bus to campus and
increase wireless Internet accessibil-
ity around the city.
Chestnut said he wanted the city
to continue to study the possibility of
expanding its rental registration pro-
gram, requiring all rental properties
to submit to periodic city inspec-
tions for safety. He also said improv-
ing Lawrences economy could help
lower property taxes, meaning lower
rent for students.
When I was a student here in the
late 70s and early 80s, it was cheap-
er to live here, Chestnut said.
Highberger said he wanted to
move forward with the expanded
rental registration program, and he
said he had talked with some stu-
dents about the possibility of install-
ing emergency phones in neighbor-
hoods near campus.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services said
Tuesday it reached its limit for 2008
skilled-worker visa petitions in a
single day and will not accept any
more, to the dismay of technology
companies that rely on the visas to
hire foreign employees.
The agency began accepting
petitions Monday for the fiscal year
starting Oct. 1 and said it received
about 150,000 applications by mid-
afternoon.
The temporary H-1B visas are
for foreign workers with high-tech
skills or in specialty occupations.
Congress has mandated that the
immigration agency limit the visas
granted to 65,000, although the cap
does not apply to petitions made
on behalf of current H-1B holders,
and an additional 20,000 visas can
be granted to applicants who hold
advanced degrees from U.S. aca-
demic institutions.
The agency said it will use com-
puters to randomly pick visa recipi-
ents from the applications received
Monday and Tuesday. It will reject
the rest of the applications and
return the filing fees.
Employers seek H-1B visas on
behalf of scientists, engineers, com-
puter program-
mers and other
workers with
theoretical or
technical exper-
tise. In Microsoft
Corp.s case,
about one-third
of its 46,000
U . S . - b a s e d
employees have
work visas or are
legal permanent
residents with
green cards, said Ginny Terzano, a
spokeswoman for the company.
We are trying to work with
Congress to get the cap increased,
Terzano said. Our real preference
here is that there not be a cap at
all.
Compete America, a coali-
tion that includes Microsoft,
chip maker Intel Corp., business
software company Oracle Corp.
and others, voiced its opposition
to the visa cap in a statement
Tuesday.
Our broken
visa policies
for highly edu-
cated foreign
pr of e s s i ona l s
are not only
c o u n t e r p r o -
ductive, they
are anticom-
petitive and
d e t r i me n t a l
to Americas
long-term eco-
nomic compet-
itiveness, said Robert Hoffman,
an Oracle vice president and co-
chairman of Compete America.
Opponents say increasing the
visa limit will bring down wages
and discourage American young-
sters from pursuing tech careers.
We are trying to work with
congress to get the cap
increased. our real preference
here is that there not be a cap
at all.

TOPEKA Tax cuts for busi-
nesses, seniors and home owners
faced final action Tuesday night
in both legislative chambers,
including a measure phasing out
the tax businesses pay for the
privilege of operating in Kansas.
In all, tax rollbacks worth
nearly $32 million during the fis-
cal year beginning July 1 were on
the Legislatures agenda as mem-
bers prepared to take their annual
spring break. Over five years, the
reductions would save businesses
and Kansas taxpayers more than
$300 million.
By late evening, legislators had
approved all but four of the 10
bills. One that inspired heated
debate would allow Johnson
County officials to decide wheth-
er to put to a vote taxes that
would fund construction of three
bioscience research centers.
The House passed the measure
75-44, with the Senate follow-
ing suit, 32-6, sending it to Gov.
Kathleen Sebelius.
In the House, Majority Leader
Ray Merrick derided the measure
as a perk for Johnson County
elitists seeking funding for their
pet projects. He also said the pro-
posal, pushed by the Senate, had
no public hearing in his chamber
before the House was asked to
approve it.
I dont like how this whole
things been handled, said
Merrick, (R-Stilwell.) I think the
Senate ought to
get serious.
Suppor t er s
sai d voters
wont automat-
ically approve
tax increas-
es, not i ng
that Johnson
County l ast
year rejected
a proposal to
raise taxes for a
massive soccer complex designed
to lure the Kansas City Wizards
away from Arrowhead Stadium.
Our people can think for
themselves and decide what to
do, said Rep. Sue Storm, (D-
Overland Park.)
The biggest tax cut under con-
sideration would eliminate the
franchise tax, which charges busi-
nesses a fee for the privilege of
operating in Kansas. The proposal
has enjoyed bipartisan support this
session and was sought by Sebelius
in her State of the State message as
a means to improve the business
climate. That bill was still awaiting
debate in both chambers.
Eliminating the fee would cut
$7 million in state tax collections
during the next fiscal year, rising
to $48 million
in the fifth year
when the tax
would be wiped
off the books.
The total saved
over five years
would be $135
million.
A n o t h e r
proposal still
pending would
exempt some
Social Security benefits from
state income taxes and increase
an earned income tax credit for
low-income workers.
Legislators also sent the gover-
nor measures allowing six coun-
ties to increase local tax rates to
fund numerous road, bridge and
building projects, as well as a bill
giving some Kansans 55 and older
reductions in property taxes.
i dont like how this whole
things been handled. i think the
Senate ought to get serious.

NEW ORLEANS Five fifth-
grade students face criminal charges
after authorities said four of them
had sex in front of other students in
an unsupervised classroom and kept
a classmate posted as a lookout for
teachers.
The students were arrested
Thursday at the Spearsville school
in rural north Louisiana, authorities
said. Two 11-year-old girls, a 12-
year-old boy and a 13-year old boy
were charged with obscenity, a fel-
ony. An 11-year-old boy, the alleged
guard, was charged with being an
accessory.
After 44 years of doing this work,
nothing shocks me anymore, said
Union Parish Sheriff Bob Buckley.
But this comes pretty close.
Authorities said the incident hap-
pened March 27 at the school, which
houses students from kindergarten
through 12th grade. A high school
teacher normally watches the fifth-
grade class at the time, but went
to an assembly for older students
and the class was inadvertently left
unattended, Buckley said. The class,
which had around 10 other students,
was alone for about 15 minutes, he
said.
When no teacher showed up,
the four began to have sex in the
classroom with the other elemen-
tary students in the classroom with
them, he said.
A student who had been in the
class told a high school student about
it the next day, Buckley said. The
student told a teacher, and school
officials notified the sheriff s office.
Detectives began questioning stu-
dents Thursday.
The students were released to their
parents after their arrests, Buckley
said. They will next be arraigned in
juvenile court. A message seeking
comment from the district attorney
was not immediately returned.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President
Bush denounced irresponsible
Democrats on Tuesday for going
on spring break without approv-
ing money for the Iraq war with
no strings. He condemned House
Speaker Nancy Pelosis trip to Syria,
too, accusing her of encouraging a
terrorism sponsor.
With Congress out of town,
Bush tried to take the upper hand
over Democrats who are making
increasing forays into foreign pol-
icy as his term dwindles and his
approval ratings remain low.
Democrats shot back that they
are the ones pursuing effective
solutions overseas in response to a
national desire for change from his
approach.
We are not going to allow the
president to continue a failed policy
in Iraq. We represent the American
peoples vision on this failed war,
Senate Majority leader Harry Reid
(D-Nev.) said at a ceremony for
a new Nevada National Guard
armory near Las Vegas.
Speaking a day before he
heads out of town for six days for
events in the West and an Easter
break at his ranch, the president
said Democrats were failing their
responsibility to the troops and the
nations security by leaving for their
own recess after passing bills to
fund the war that contain timelines
for American withdrawal.
Given his promised veto of any-
thing containing a deadline, Bush
said Democrats are merely engag-
ing in games that undercut the
troops.
Democrat leaders in Congress
seem more interested in fighting
political battles in Washington than
in providing our troops what they
need to fight the battles in Iraq,
Bush said.
Nearly two months ago, Bush
asked for more than $100 billion
to pay for the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan this year. Congress
has approved the money, but the
Senate added a provision also call-
ing for most U.S. combat troops
to be out of Iraq by March 31,
2008. The House version demands
a September 2008 withdrawal.
These bills still must be recon-
ciled before legislation can be sent
to the president.
They need to come off their
vacation, get a bill to my desk, and
if its got strings and mandates and
withdrawals and pork Ill veto it,
the president said. And then we
can get down to the business of get-
ting this thing done.
Not so fast, Democrats respond-
ed.
Americans want compromise,
not a cowboy-style showdown,
said House Majority Whip James
Clyburn (D-S.C.)
On another topic, the president
took issue with a two-day stay in
Syria by Pelosi that began Tuesday.
As the speaker donned a head
scarf and mingled with Syrians at a
mosque and a market in Damascus
Old City, preparing for meetings
Wednesday with Syrian President
Bashar Assad, Bush said she was
sending dangerous signals. State-
run newspapers in Syria published
news of the visit on their front
pages, with one daily publishing a
photograph of Pelosi next to the
headline: Welcome Dialogue.
Bush said meetings with many
high-level Americans have done
nothing to persuade Assad to con-
trol violent elements of the militant
groups Hamas and Hezbollah, to
halt efforts to destabilize Lebanon
or to stop allowing foreign fight-
ers from flowing over Syrias bor-
der into Iraq.
Photo opportunities and/or
meetings with President Assad
lead the Assad government to
believe theyre part of the main-
stream of the international com-
munity when, in fact, theyre a
state sponsor of terror, he said.

Be kind to environment,
ride a bike around town
Last Friday, more than one
hundred bicyclists claimed the
roads of Lawrence to protest
human reliance on cars. The bike
ride, dubbed Critical Mass,
occurs in cities around the world
on the last Friday of every month
to celebrate alternative means of
transportation and to demon-
strate that transportation is pos-
sible without polluting the air.
Their point is well-taken. Now
that global warming is more fact
than theory, we should all take
it upon ourselves to save a little
energy. Turn light switches off
when exiting a room. Use cold
or warm, not hot, settings for
the washing machine. Plant a
tree! Or, take a cue from Critical
Mass cyclists and find an alter-
native means of transportation.
Approximately 20 pounds of
harmful carbon dioxide are
emitted in the atmosphere for
every gallon of gasoline used, so
saving even a gallon or two of
gas per week can go a long way.
Plus, there really couldnt be
a nicer time to get around sans
gasoline. Spring is here and
new life is blossoming, erasing
memories of cold winds and
cracked skin. The grass is green,
the flowers have bloomed, and
nests are filled with eggs. Time
is really not of the essence.
Students should forgo the car in
order to meander and smell the
roses. Biking and walking are
both excellent ways to simulta-
neously be earth-friendly and
physically fit. Theyre also stress-
relieving methods to refresh and
invigorate the body.
For those far from their desired
destinations, alternative methods
of transportation are still possible.
Use Lawrences public transporta-
tion, or arrange a car pool with
friends or roommates. If look-
ing for a new car, invest in an
energy-efficient one. At the very
least, appreciate Americas highly
developed road systems which
make off-roading unnecessary,
and abstain from buying monster
all-terrain vehicles.
All of us should take a lesson
from Critical Mass, even those
who loathe bike riding or who
roll their eyes and mutter damn
hippies while reading this article.
Not only is it a good idea to take
care of our planet, there really
couldnt be an easier time to be a
little more energy-conscientious.

al Jazeera provides relevant news
On March 12, Buckeye
CableSystem became the first
American cable company to broad-
cast the Al Jazeera English channel.
This is a small but important break-
through for Al Jazeera, and hope-
fully a sign that the channel will
finally reach a wide audience in the
United States.
Since its launch on November
15, the English version of the largest
Middle Eastern television network
has failed to find cable providers
to carry its programming. This is
outrageous because the channel is a
wonderful opportunity to diversify
the way news is covered in the U.S.
Why arent major cable compa-
nies offering viewers this channel?
Comcast has claimed that it is not
adding a lot of new channels. This
statement is absurd. On March 23,
Comcast launched an I-70 traffic
channel in Colorado. If the issue is
really bandwidth, it is nice to know
where their priorities are. As long
as there are 20 shopping channels
everything is fine.
The U.S. is in desperate need of
a new cable news channel and Al
Jazeera might just
be the solution.
American cable
news is in terrible
shape, FOX News,
CNN and MSNBC
are becoming
increasingly simi-
lar to entertain-
ment networks.
Its hard to find
valuable journalism in the midst of
the newest celebrity overdose, lat-
est blond girl gone missing or the
constant partisan squabble between
analysts. All of this, of course, is
interrupted every three minutes
by the newest erectile dysfunction
commercial.
Although Al Jazeera has had
its faults along the way it has been
crucial in providing objective news
to the people in the Middle East.
Western media has taken advan-
tage of its breakthrough coverage
by using its footage. The network
has often attracted criticism from
authoritarian governments when-
ever it aired critical reports against
their administrations. It has also
faced remarkable
challenges, wheth-
er having report-
ers banned from
Arab nations, hav-
ing its Baghdad
office hit and a
reporter killed by
an American mis-
sile and having
one of its camera-
men detained in the aberration that
is Guantanamo Bay.
However, Al Jazeera is still mis-
interpreted by many Americans. Its
not even close to being the pro-ter-
rorist network its critics accuse it
of being. It has never shown footage
of terrorists beheading hostages. It
has showed dead American soldiers,
but didnt American news outlets
show images of burnt private con-
tractors in Fallujah, or the dead
bodies of Saddam Husseins sons?
Why should the general popula-
tion be insulated from the horrors
of war?
Al Jazeera English, at least the
online stream version, shows some
excellent reporting. Its stories have
a BBC feel, with a great degree of
objectivity and calmness. Ive yet to
see sensationalist overtones in the
reporting or loaded headlines ask-
ing, Will Dems crush the economy
if they control congress? or, Are
atheist tactics too militant? both
real headlines used by Fox News
and CNN respectively.
The most positive aspect of Al
Jazeera English is its news focus. It
offers news coverage from areas that
have been ignored by other cable
news networks. Including signifi-
cant coverage from Africa and per-
haps the most thorough coverage of
the Middle East. Even its European
coverage, constantly reduced in
the United States to only terrorist
threats or French battering, is better.
Shame on Time Warner and
Comcast for not carrying Al Jazeera
English on their channel lineups,
perhaps they can learn something
from Buckeye about the importance
of media diversity.

Dykman overcomes pitfalls, learns lessons in love
When all else fails, at least I have
some good stories to tell.
And lets face it all else fails
quite often. Tuesday night seems
to repeat itself endlessly when
you dont have a car and the bank
account reads in the single digits.
But when I think about the sto-
ries Ive shared the ones (when
all else has failed) about lacking
courage, the ones about needing to
give advice and having none, the
botched dates, the bad valentines
Ive noticed that I finish the story
and end the column, but I never
come to any sort of conclusion.
Heres what I mean: I tell this
tragedy that goes something like
this. Boy meets girl. They go on a
couple of dates. One that particu-
larly went well was a Royals game
where they bought Hy-Vee tickets
and snuck down to the third or
forth row, talked about life, books,
college, but not the weather, even
though it was one of those June
afternoons that justifies spending $6
on a lemonade.
Boy thinks its
a sign when the
Royals win.
But things go
south, both for
the boy and the
Royals season.
History, along
with my other col-
umns, would tell us that things dont
work out, and its over for the boy.
And, it is.
The summer is coming to a close,
and at a graduation party, the boy is
feeling down. This is one of the last
times he will see these people. He
doesnt know many of them, but he
figures they all struggled through
high school, acne and finals togeth-
er, so they must be worth knowing.
His thoughts are heavy and force
him to sit down. He wants you to
know that hes not making any of
this up when he says he just hap-
pened to sit down at the same table
as girl.
I havent seen
you in a long
time, she says. He
feels worse. He
leaves.
He and a friend
go looking for a
cup of coffee. Its
Sunday night, and
the first two places
they try are closed. Finally they stop
in a grocery store. And its there, in
aisle five, that boy sees girl again.
And its about this point, when I
am done telling the story, that my
friends start to grin.
Usually its what a coincidence
or what are the chances for that.
We start to talk momentarily about
a belief in fate or destiny. And when
its time for a second round of cof-
fee, the absurdities and coincidences
stay just that. This unspoken, yet
assumed, thats-too-bad mentality
makes its way across the room as we
realize our coffee is too hot to sip.
We sit and wait in silence.
We leave it up to ourselves to
decide what it means. We file it
away with the names of former
teachers and old telephone num-
bers, as we work busily on our
math. I wonder what the purposes
of these stories are, these slices of
life? I wonder what it means that he
saw her in a grocery store?
It could be something about lost
opportunities, but thats too simple.
Anyway, I fear delivering a message
like: Seize every opportunity you
have; let no grocery store visit or
graduation party slide crassly by.
It would be easier just to forget
about coming to a conclusion and
brand it a good story or another
one of those things that happen,
ending it abruptly with something
that sounds nice and has a touch of
the dramatic. Something like: The
coffees cooled. This is the last time
I tell a story like this.

letter tO the editOr
Pride Week not just intended to shock campus
I feel obliged to add to what
wasnt mentioned in Tuesdays The
University Daily Kansan article
about the Queers and Allies Kiss-
In. From an outsiders perspective
it could appear the sole objective
was to be obnoxious and in-your-
face. While this is one aspect of the
kissing, its not why such things are
done.
The idea behind the Kiss-In
is to promote visibility of queer
people on campus in a way that
cant be avoided by the general pub-
lic. While many people dont like
public displays of affection from
queer or straight people, the truth
is, straight couples do not have to
battle the same things couples in
the queer community have to. Its
easy to say get a room or gross
to straight couples showing their
affection. Queer couples not only
receive that but also face possible
violence, hate and discrimination.
The goal is to make you think
about this and not to necessarily
accept it.
Pride Week is meant to be for
everyone, not just the LGBTIQ
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgen-
der, intersex community. This is
the third year weve done the Kiss-
In to kick off Pride Week. We leave
the rest of the week to educational,
social, entertaining and community
building lectures and activities.
We all have differing opinions
and many may not even support
such blatant activities as the kiss-in.
We dont kiss to garner support for
queer couples public displays of
affection, but to provide a glimpse
of our visibility and to bring aware-
ness of the fear, oppression, hate,
violence and discrimination that is
all too common toward the queer
community in general.
We hope you can join us the
rest of the week for University and
Lawrence Pride. For more info

Adjusting to life in America
By Alison CumBow
A
typical jaunt from
the Kansas Union to
Anschutz Library means
dodging buses, veering in and out
of students and wondering if the
weather will drastically change at
any given second.
One great thing about zig-zag-
ging through campus, however,
is the guarantee that the ears will
hear an abundance of foreign lan-
guages, often spoken by exchange
students.
International students come
from more than 400 differ-
ent countries to study at the
University of Kansas.
Having left their families,
friends and customs behind,
exchange students arrive in
Lawrence knowing they will need
to adapt significantly to their new
s ur r ound-
ings.
Ke e pi ng
their tradi-
tions alive
in Kansas
takes a little
bit of extra
work. Some
substitute a
beloved food
item with one
from Hy-Vee or celebrate a holi-
day that doesnt exist in the U.S.
with new friends.
Pauline Jeannin, Besanon,
France, graduate student, has
adapted to her new environ-
ment easily since arriving at the
University last August. She said
she missed the food from her
native country the most.
Where I come from, its very
cold in winter, so we eat a lot of
cheese and potatoes, she said.
Finding good French cheeses
is a hard task, Jeannin said. She
asks her family to send her care
packages when The Laughing
Cow brand cheese doesnt suf-
fice.
French people are crazy about
cheese, Jeannin said. My dad
eats comt after both lunch and
dinner. Comt is cheese made
from raw cow milk, which is ille-
gal in the U.S. because the milk is
not pasteurized.
Yuki Takahashi, Tokyo sopho-
more, said she missed the cherry
blossom trees.
I think about the cherry blos-
som trees when spring comes,
she said. I like the idea that
the Japanese culture loves to see
and enjoy cherry blossoms every
year.
To bring her culture from
her home country to others,
Takahashi participates in many
Japanese traditions here in
Lawrence. One of those tradi-
tions was Sundays Japan festi-
val, in which Takahashi joined
some of her peers for a raku-
go performance. A traditional
rakugo performance is similar to
an American stand-up comedy
show.
Many international students
use their hometown news sourc-
es to keep up
with whats
going on
while theyre
away from
home.
P o r t i a
O w u s u ,
L o n d o n
junior, keeps
up to date
with her
native country by reading and
watching the BBC.
Daniel Cunha, Porot, Portugal,
doctoral student, said there
werent many people speaking his
native language.
I like to help teach my friends
a few words in Portuguese, he
said.
Cunha also enjoys finding
places that serve his favorite tra-
ditional codfish dish, known as
bacalhau. He said he also enjoyed
showing people how to make tra-
ditional Portuguese meals.
For international students,
keeping their cultures alive in a
place so distant from their norm
has become routine. They not
only find ways to improvise a
meal foreign to Kansas, but they
also find ways to make them-
selves feel at home.

After every game, win or loss,
coach Bill Self and the Jayhawk play-
ers, along with their opponents, ad-
dress the media. Their moods range
from excited to funny to somber, as
this collection of quotes from the
season shows:
They are scrappy. They are
everywhere. They are like little pira-
nhas biting at you. Sophomore
guard Brandon Rush, about the
Southern Illinois defense
After I made it, everything
was a blur after that. They told me
the crowd was going crazy, but I
couldnt hear anything. I just ran
back downcourt. Junior walk-
on Brad Witherspoon after scoring
his frst collegiate points
Its not about revenge. Its just
about getting them back. Rush
on a potential rematch against
Texas Tech at the Big 12 tourna-
ment
I chew the LeBron James
Bubblicious. Thats my favorite
kind. Sophomore guard Mario
Chalmers, explaining which brand
of chewing gum he prefers during
games
I wouldnt even have the
cahones to try the windmill in front
of 16,000 people. Id be so embar-
rassed I wouldnt even show my
face around town tonight. Rush
on sophomore forward Julian
Wrights missed dunk during the
Colorado game
When Sasha is your best free-
throw shooter, thats a concern.
Self after the frst Texas game
I was scared. I thought I was go-
ing to have a heart attack. I called
my mom, then went to the doctor,
and they said it was just a mild
virus. Freshman forward Darrell
Arthur, discussing a lung infection
that kept him out of the lineup for
a week
We sent him a questionnaire.
He didnt return it. Self on the
extent to which he recruited Kevin
Durant
When hes down there guard-
ing the big guys, Im sure theyre
thinking, Hey, this old guy cant
hang with me. But he still holds his
own pretty good. Self on as-
sistant coach and former Jayhawk
Danny Manning
Does losing to a one seed
knock you out? I wouldnt think so.
Kansas State coach Bob Hug-
gins on whether the team would
fall from the NCAA tournament
because of a loss to Kansas. The
Wildcats were not selected.
He was talking the whole bus
ride over about how he was go-
ing to come out in beast mode
again. He was everywhere tonight.
Rush, about how a fred-up
Wright was acting before the Mis-
souri game in Columbia
If I was 228 pounds I probably
would have broke it. Ive got to
thank Coach Hudy when I get out
there. Collins, after falling on ju-
nior guard Russell Robinsons knee,
crediting strength and condition-
ing coach Andrea Hudy for helping
him keep his weight down
Im happy for him. Its a big
number. But I think hes after big-
ger ones. Robinson after Selfs
300th victory
I dont watch warm-ups, be-
cause Id just get mad. Self on
his pregame routine of heading to
his ofce
He was probably impressed,
wasnt he? Hell probably be
wanting to fnd out what we did.

Down, but rarely out
By Mark Dent
Sherron Collins drove the lane
fearlessly and shoelessly. Mario
Chalmers stroked a game-tying
three-pointer without a hint of
emotion on his face. Brandon Rush
calmly laid the ball off the glass to
seal a game.
Kansas star players appeared to
breathe confidence in close games,
even on the verge of defeat.
But on the inside, the butterflies
were swarming.
You cant tell me we werent ner-
vous and anxious when we were
down 32-10 and down in the last
game at the fieldhouse, Kansas
coach Bill Self said of his teams two
games against Texas this season. I
dont think thats all bad though.
That nervous excitement can some-
times create an edge for you.
It created an edge for Kansas sev-
eral times. The Jayhawks converted
their nerves to confidence this year
when facing huge deficits. They won
six games this season after trailing in
the second half, including two post-
season games.
This ability to come back
became apparent early in the
conference season. Kansas trailed
Iowa State for most of the game
in Ames, Iowa, before winning
in overtime. It happened again
two days later against Missouri at
Allen Fieldhouse.
Tigers guard Stefhon Hannah tried
to give his team a chance to win, but
Collins wouldnt let him. Collins out-
played his former high school rival
down the stretch. He swooped in past
Hannah for a layup with 29 seconds
left. He lost his shoe, but he won the
game for Kansas 80-77.
I dont know if I remember one
individual taking a big game over
like Sherron, Self said after the vic-
tory.
Collins wasnt the only Jayhawk to
step up when Kansas trailed this sea-
son. Actually, everyone but Collins
came through against Texas in the
last regular season game.
The Jayhawks fell behind by 16
points late in the first half largely
because of Texas Kevin Durants
25-point performance. Kansas used
a 22-6 run to open the second half
and held on at the end for a 90-86
victory. Six Jayhawks scored seven
or more points.
Even though we were getting
our butts kicked pretty good, they
didnt panic, Self said afterwards.
In the postseason youre going to be
behind. You need to understand the
importance of getting stops at key
times and stuff like that.
Self couldnt have been more right
about the postseason. Texas came
out even hotter against Kansas in
the Big 12 Championship game. At
one point, the Jayhawks were down
32-10.
Just like in the first game, Kansas
battled back. The Jayhawks pulled
to within five by halftime. In the
second half, Rush, Collins and
Chalmers took turns making big
plays. Chalmers sent the game to
overtime with a three-pointer from
the top of the key with 15 seconds
left. In the extra period, junior for-
ward Darnell Jackson blocked Texas
D.J. Augustin and made two free
throws to help seal the 88-84 over-
time victory.
I knew it was going to be a tough
game, Collins said. I had to get my
head right and my mind right. It
took heart to come back from a 22-
point deficit and win in overtime.
Later in the postseason, Kansas
faced another uphill battle. For 20-
plus minutes in the Sweet Sixteen
against Southern Illinois, the Salukis
battered and bruised the Jayhawks
on the perimeter. Kansas couldnt
find an open look, and Southern
Illinois had a six-point second half
lead. It looked like the Jayhawks
would become an upset victim of a
Missouri Valley Conference team for
the second year in a row.
Then Self told his players to use
their speed. Rush, Robinson and
Chalmers continually beat their men
off the dribble to score baskets, get
to the free-throw line or find Jackson
or Arthur inside. Kansas quickly
took charge and Rush gave Kansas
the hard-earned victory for good on
a layup with 25 seconds left.
Weve been through some tough
times, and weve persevered and
bounced back, Robinson said.
But will Kansas be able to bounce
back from a crushing Elite Eight
loss to UCLA next season? If the
Jayhawks have as much success
with handling adversity as they did
this season, they shouldnt have any
problem.
Weve got a little taste of it right
now, Chalmers said. We know if we
come back next year we can do the
same thing but get a little further.

By Michael PhilliPs
At the University of Kansas there
are two seasons: basketball season
and the offseason. The 2006-07
team offered plenty of excitement,
as the Jayhawks won the Big 12
Conference title on its way to a 33-5
final record, the fourth-most vic-
tories in school history. Not every-
thing was as smooth as a Brandon
Rush dunk. Like any team, this
years Jayhawks had to grow into
their roles.
October 2006
At 4:45 a.m., most students were
asleep. Not Russell Robinson.
Robinsons alarm told him it was
time to walk to Allen Fieldhouse
for Boot Camp, coach Bill Self s
preseason strength and conditioning
program.
After visiting the trainers room
to tend to some minor injuries,
Robinson was ready to begin the
hour-long practice. It was not a
standard practice, though. There
were no breaks, as players moved
from station to station to do various
activities, none of which involved a
basketball.
I think Ive been as hard on them
this year than I have any time as far
as what theyre doing out there,
Self said. Theres been other years
where Ive been verbally more like
a drill sergeant. But these guys have
responded pretty well, and theyre in
pretty good shape.
Two weeks later, fans got their
first opportunity to see the team
at Late Night in the Phog. A rusty
scrimmage didnt seem to bother
the capacity crowd, which enjoyed
the atmosphere and the dancing.
During the 20-minute exhibition,
one player gave a hint at what the
coaches might see from him later in
the season.
I thought Sherron, without ques-
tion, was one of the best players out
there, Self said. He made things
happen.
The month ended on a sour note
for the Jayhawks, as junior forward
C.J. Giles was dismissed from the
team following a variety of personal
and academic problems. His absence
cleared the way for the team to pick
up another player, junior walk-on
Brad Witherspoon. Giles transferred
to Oregon State, where he will be
eligible to play in December of next
season.
November
After defeating Washburn,
Emporia State and Northern
Arizona to start the season, Kansas
was caught off guard by a red-hot
Oral Roberts team. The Golden
Eagles took away the Jayhawks
No. 3 national ranking, and left
them looking for answers just
four days before the Las Vegas
Invitational.
In Sin City, things werent much
different. Kansas defeated Ball State
64-46 with some largely uninspired
basketball.
That night at the hotel, Russell
Robinson and Julian Wright led a
players-only meeting to allow the
team to voice its frustrations. As
the players gathered in the hallway
outside their rooms, things began to
get heated.
Everybody was pretty much
angry and upset with a lot of things,
Robinson said.
The players talked through a
variety of issues, including relations
with the coaching staff. Self had
said that the players werent play-
ing a mature team game. Instead,
they were all trying to play their
own game, which turned into more
frustration.
They havent been real happy
with me, he said. And I havent
really been happy with them.
About 15 minutes later, after
everyone had a chance to speak, the
meeting ended. The next day, the
Jayhawks defeated the No. 1 Florida
Gators 82-80 in overtime.
Five players finished with double-
digit points, including 21 from Julian
Wright and 19 from Darrell Arthur
as the Jayhawk big men held their
own against Floridas talented trio
inside the paint.
Arthur was in the starting line-
up in place of the injured Sasha
Kaun. Kaun played 12 minutes of
the Florida game as he began to
come back from a knee injury and
reemerge as a starter. In Las Vegas,
the spotlight belonged to Arthur,
who captured the attention of NBA
scouts in the building with his
mature play.
I think its probably the best
game Ive ever played in my life, he
said. It was just a battle to see who
was going to get the last bucket.
December
This is typically a slow month
in college basketball as teams take
finals week off and then schedule
lightly during Christmas and New
Years.
The Jayhawks gave themselves
an early present before breaking
for the holidays, defeating Boston
College 84-66. The 18-point victo-
ry was also the perfect opportunity
for Kansas to try something new: a
zone defense.
After getting in foul trouble early,
Self kept his players away from dan-
ger by moving to the zone, a rare
sight in Allen Fieldhouse.
We had been practicing the zone
the whole break, and I think we ran
it pretty well, Brandon Rush said.
Even with the 3-2 zone avail-
able to the team, Self didnt use it
much the rest of the season, which
was not unexpected. Most teams
use the style of defense sparingly,
if at all.
Kansas was also beginning to see
contributions from freshman guard
Sherron Collins. After arriving at
Kansas more than 15 pounds over-
weight, the training staff put him on
a grueling regimen of diet and exer-
cise. The results began to pay off, as
Collins came back from winter break
with, as Self put it, more energy
than ever.
The Jayhawks finished off the
non-conference schedule without
difficulty, defeating Detroit 63-43
and Rhode Island 80-69 in the type
of games that made fans eager for the
big games to arrive.
January 2007
At the beginning of the month,
Self called Darnell Jackson into his
office.
The coach had noticed that
Jackson wasnt playing like himself
on the court and asked him what was
bothering him. Instead of just one
thing, Jackson told him about the
string of tragedies that had affected
his family.
Ever since I got here, he said.
From my uncle getting killed, my
grandpa and grandma dying, my
mom getting in a wreck, and my
cousin being shot and killed in a
drive-by. It was just a whole bunch
of stuff, and it was eating me up on
the inside, because I was holding it
all in.
After opening up, Jackson felt
a weight lift off his shoulders and
started playing some of his best bas-
ketball of the season. He used his
body to create a physical presence in
the paint, averaging a rebound every
three minutes.
Had Sasha Kaun not secured the
starting spot earlier in the season,
Jackson would have made a serious
run at the position.
You cant measure him in points,
Self said. He makes a lot of smart,
subtle plays.
Those plays were especially evi-
dent during the stretch late in January
where Kansas blew out every team it
faced. Following a loss to Texas Tech,
Kansas responded by beating Baylor,
Colorado and Nebraska by 26, 23
and 20 points, respectively.

Darnell Jackson, junior forward, sneaks around a Boston College defender to make the easy dunk. The Jayhawks defeated the Eagles 84-66 at Allen
Fieldhouse in December. Jackson scored 11 points for Kansas.
The month marked the start of
Big 12 play, which began with a mar-
quee match-up between Kansas and
Oklahoma State. The contest quickly
soured when Cowboys turned in the
first of what would be many pitiful
road performances, losing in the
fieldhouse 87-57.
A week later, fans were treated to
a spirited Border Showdown game
at the fieldhouse, as the Jayhawks
defeated the Missouri Tigers 80-77.
Sherron Collins had a breakout game,
scoring 23 points. Most of those
points came as Missouri abandoned
its traditional pressure defense to
play a zone, keeping the players fresh
but also allowing Collins open looks
from the three-point line all night.
The Tigers compensated on
offense, and the game came down to
the final shots, where Collins deliv-
ered for the Jayhawks once again in
the final seconds.
The rivalry is pretty intense, and
I cant say enough about Missouri,
Self said. It was a heck of a basket-
ball game.
February
Things were different in February.
Texas A&Ms Acie Law was still Mr.
Clutch, and nobody was sure who
was the best team in the Big 12.
Both those things came into play
as ESPNs College GameDay visited
Lawrence for the Kansas vs. Texas
A&M game Feb. 3.
Law emerged as the star of a close
game, making a three-pointer with
a hand in his face in the games final
seconds to lead the Aggies to a 69-66
victory. The Jayhawks fell a game
back in the Big 12 race, meaning
they would likely have to win out to
be conference champions.
After the loss to the Aggies, the
Jayhawks didnt lose again for the
rest of the month. They went to
Columbia and beat Missouri by 18
and defeated Kansas State both in
Lawrence and Manhattan.
Add a victory at the Big 12
Tournament against Kansas State,
and the Jayhawks went 5-0 against
their rivals in 2007. The second
game against the Wildcats came at
Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan,
where a sellout crowd was waiting to
see if new coach Bob Huggins would
deliver on his guaranteed victory.
He couldnt the Jayhawks are
now 24-0 in Manhattan the past
24 seasons but the Wildcats did
come close. The game was kept
tight until the final minutes, when
Huggins was whistled for a technical
and the Wildcats began to tire inside
the paint, losing their rebounding
edge.
We gave them too many sec-
ond chances, Huggins said. Theyre
good, and we didnt do enough to
win.
Kansas also got the help it needed,
returning to the conference chase
after Texas A&M lost to Texas Tech.
The players watched the game
on their cell phones, watching the
score refresh as they rode a bus to
their hotel in Boulder, Colo. When
the Red Raiders squeaked out a two-
point victory, even Self joined the
players in a scream of excitement.
One of the teams goals at the begin-
ning of the season was to win the
Big 12 title, and the Jayhawks again
could do that.
Its a good feeling, Sasha Kaun
said, But we have a lot of games
left.
The Jayhawks were almost snagged
in Oklahoma, as the Sooners applied
stronger defensive pressure than the
team had previously seen. The pres-
sure rattled Sherron Collins, but the
freshman survived, staying in the
game and playing in most of the 67-
65 victory.
Leaving Oklahoma, the teams big
story was Brandon Rush. Self called
him out after the game, saying hed
have to be more aggressive if the
Jayhawks were going to have a shot
in March.
Brandon has got to step up, Self
said. He cant just score eight points
or five points. Hes better than that.
March
The biggest month of the basket-
ball season came roaring in, as Kansas
defeated Texas 90-86 to become the
undisputed Big 12 Champions.
From there, it was off to Oklahoma
City for the Big 12 Tournament,
where Kansas opened with ho-hum
victories against Oklahoma and
Kansas State.
Theyre just ready to get back to
their rooms and play PlayStation,
Self joked.
The team worked hard to keep
their same focus amid the distrac-
tions of March. Coaches urged the
players to turn their cell phones off,
so they wouldnt be distracted by
friends calling to wish them well or
family members looking for tickets.
If our guys arent focused, then
we wont have a chance to go very
far, Self said. So many things could
throw your focus
off. It could be
agents, runners,
media requests,
friends, girl-
friends, family
members, tickets,
cell phones. All
of a sudden you
start trying to be
something to a
lot of people, and
youve lost it.
That wasnt
the case at the Big 12 Tournament.
Kansas defeated Texas 88-84 in an
overtime game that was every bit
as thrilling as the first one. The
Jayhawks rallied from 22 points
down to defeat the Longhorns, the
largest come-from-behind victory in
school history.
They didnt have much time to
savor the victory, as the NCAA tour-
nament pairings were announced
just minutes later. Kansas started its
road to the title in Chicago, where
it faced Niagara and Kentucky in
the first two rounds. National pun-
dits were already beginning to pro-
nounce Kansas the hottest team in
America. A 40-point victory against
Niagara, followed by a 12-point vic-
tory against Kentucky, brought even
more national
fans to the
bandwagon.
Being the
best isnt good
enough in
March Madness,
however. A team
also has to play
six consecutive
flawless games.
Headed into the
second week-
end in San Jose,
it looked like the Jayhawks might be
able to make that happen.
Southern Illinois was able to rattle
Kansas with its pressure defense,
but Brandon Rush arrived right on
time. He led the Jayhawks to a 61-58
victory by taking charge down the
stretch, just the way Self had been
urging him to do all season.
Two days later, the season ended
with a 68-55 loss to UCLA, a game in
which Kansas missed 19 layups and
tip-ins. After the game, but before
the draft speculation began, Self
looked back at the season that was.
The thing Ill take away from it
is that we had a bunch of talented
kids that sacrificed for the good of
the program, Self said. We liked
sharing the ball.
Unlike college football, the college
basketball season ends with a loss for
almost every team, in a conference
tournament or the NCAA tourna-
ment. The Jayhawks prepared for an
offseason of more practices and con-
ditioning, reminded of just how close
they had come.
It hurts, Self said. I really felt
like this was our year.

The Kansas pass defense was
without the play of safety Darrell
Stuckey for five games last year and
it showed.
The Jayhawks finished the sea-
son ranked dead last in the nation
in passing yards
allowed per
game.
The shoddy
showing can be
attributed to: the
early season sus-
pension of junior
cornerback Aqib
Talib and the
inexperience of sophomore defensive
backs Justin Thornton and Anthony
Webb. But one of the Jayhawks who
cant be blamed is Stuckey.
Stuckey, a sophomore safety from
Kansas City, Kan., missed the first
five games of the season with an
ankle injury. During those games,
Kansas yielded nearly 290 passing
yards per game. Nebraska burned
Kansas for nearly 400 yards in an
overtime loss, and unheralded
Louisiana-Monroe nearly upset the
Jayhawks on the strength of 377
passing yards.
Without Stuckey in the lineup
Kansas turned to Justin Thornton, a
freshman at the time. Thornton was
frequently punished by opposing
blockers and receivers because of his
thin frame. Stuckeys return to action
in early October
did not fix all of
Kansas defensive
problems, but the
202-pound safety
gave the defense
a more physi-
cal presence in
the middle of the
field.
Stuckey record-
ed 32 tackles and
three pass deflec-
tions while start-
ing five games at
free safety but was never able to get
up to full speed after missing fall
workouts and early season practices.
Coming off of any kind of injury,
you dont focus on making the big
hit, Stuckey said. This year, Ive
been focused on running through
people. I think Ive become a more
sound tackler.
After spending the summer recu-
perating and working out, Stuckey
finally looks like the All-State per-
former he was at Washington High
School.
Darrell is running as well as he
ever has, coach Mark Mangino said.
Hes been flying around. Hes started
the spring really well.
The well-rested Stuckey will play
a large role in the 2007 defensive
secondary. He
will line up
alongside either
Thornton or
junior Patrick
Resby at safety,
with juniors
Aqib Talib
and Kendrick
Harper flanking
them at the cor-
nerback posi-
tions.
The addition
of experienced
junior-college transfers Resby and
Harper should lend some much-
needed toughness and size to the
defensive backfield. Adding Talibs
hands and Stuckeys speed to the
mix, the secondary could help the
team escape from the cellar of the
Big 12 Conference.

F
or those of us from the
Kansas City area, this is the
most depressing time of the
sports year. Welcome to baseball
season.
Some of us arent as fortunate to
have a team like the Cardinals to
root for. Instead, Kansas City has
been the laughingstock of Major
League Baseball.
The Royals are bad. Really bad.
They havent been division cham-
pions since 1985, the same year as
their only World Series champion-
ship. If the Royals were better, my
summers would be better.
The Royals, year in and year
out, give fans no hope. The begin-
ning of each season is very similar
to the beginning of the movie
Major League, with Tom Berenger,
Charlie Sheen and Wesley Snipes,
where fans and Cleveland Indians
board members are discussing
exactly how bad their team will be
this year.
One discussion between the
board members about their roster
from that movie perfectly sum-
marizes the start of every Royals
season.
Ive never heard of half of these
guys and the ones I do know are out
of their prime.
Most of these guys never had a
prime.
This guy here is dead!
Cross him off then.
I find it hard to get into baseball
anymore, or any summer sport. I
kind of watch the NBA, but gen-
erally only during the playoffs. I
definitely dont watch the NHL
Canada can have it. I watch the
tennis and golf major tournaments
but no more than those.
Ive tried to get into NASCAR,
but I cant. Its a sport built around
action, yet every time theres a
wreck they throw the caution flag
out. These are supposed to be the
best drivers in the world, and this is
supposed to be an intense sport.
All I need to make my long sum-
mer days better are the Royals con-
tending for and earning a playoff
spot, although that wont happen.
Hopefully this year theyll take a
step forward and put themselves in
position for the next few seasons.
Rookie third baseman Alex
Gordon is being compared to
Royals legend George Brett, which
should be a sign of hope.
However, the Royals have a way
of handling talented young play-
ers. They play them all season, he
earns Rookie of the Year or close
to it, he slumps his second season,
the Royals eventually trade him
and he eventually plays in or wins
the World Series. Johnny Damon,
Jermaine Dye and Carlos Beltran
are some of those.
For now, Ill accept that this
baseball season will be as rough
as all the others. So Ill just have a
sports-less summer and wait for
football season to start again.

ASSOCiATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. Gail
Goestenkors is leaving Duke to
coach the Texas womens basketball
team, a person with knowledge of
the decision told The Associated
Press on Tuesday.
Goestenkors, 44, built a powerhouse
during her 15 seasons at Duke, win-
ning seven Atlantic Coast Conference
coach of the year awards and compiling
a career record of 396-99.
The person with knowledge of the
decision spoke on condition of ano-
nymity because a formal announce-
ment had not yet been made.
Duke guard Abby Waner said
a team meeting was scheduled
for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, but did not
know why it was being held.
Goestenkors was widely consid-
ered the top candidate to replace
Hall of Famer Jody Conradt at
Texas after her sudden resignation
last month.
The night Conradt retired, Texas
officials made it clear they would
be willing to pay for a top-notch
coach. Conradt earned $550,000 a
year. While Goestenkors salary at
Duke is not a public record, it was
believed the private school would
be unlikely to match a high offer
from the Longhorns.
Goestenkors visited the Texas
campus last week, when she met
with womens athletic direc-
tor Chris Plonsky and members
of the schools search committee
and toured the Longhorns 44,000-
square-foot practice facilities.
Goestenkors coached the Blue
Devils to four Final Fours and two
appearances in the national cham-
pionship game. Her last Duke team
was one of her best the Blue
Devils ended the regular season
ranked No. 1 and held the top
overall seed in the NCAA tourna-
ment, but were upset in the regional
semifinals by Rutgers. Duke ended
the season with a 32-2 record.
After Goestenkors visited
Austin, Duke held an on-campus
rally attended by fans and play-
ers to urge her to stay. But Texas
is considered one of nations best
programs with its first-rate facilities
and a recruiting pipeline to 1,300
Texas high schools.
Goestenkors already has estab-
lished herself with those schools,
signing star senior Lindsey Harding
out of the Houston area.
Conradt spent 31 seasons at
Texas and won her only nation-
al championship in 1986, when
the Longhorns went 34-0. The
Longhorns last made the Final
Four in 2003. She retired with a
career record of 900-306 in 38 sea-
sons at Sam Houston State, Texas-
Arlington and Texas.

Sophomore shortstop Stevie Crisosto throws the ball to frst base for an out during the second game of a double-header against Arkansas Tuesday
afternoon. Kansas won the frst game 4-2 and lost the second 6-1.
By Rustin DoDD
The Kansas softball teams
offense stalled against Arkansas
on Tuesday, resulting in a 6-1 loss
in the second game of a double-
header. A poor start from senior
starting pitcher Kassie Humphreys,
four fielding errors and com-
pounded hitting woes left the team
with another loss. Kansas (26-12-
1) defeated Arkansas in the first
game 4-2.
Coach Tracy Bunge was up-front
with the assessment of her teams
performance.
We werent very good in any part
of the game, Bunge said. Arkansas
took it right to us right from the first
inning on.
Arkansas used a two-run
homer from catcher Whitney
Cloer to jump on the Jayhawks
in the first inning. Cloer went 2-
for-3 at the plate with 2 RBI. The
early inning fireworks continued
in the second inning for Arkansas
when left fielder Hillary Freeman
sent a fastball over the right
field wall for a three-run homer.
Humphreys gave up five runs in 1
1/3 innings, but Bunge stood by
her staff ace.
Kassie will bounce back,
and Kassie will be fine, Bunge
said. Its frustrating for her, and
its frustrating as her pitching
coach.
Down 5-0 after two innings,
Kansas struggled at the plate all
game because of a masterful per-
formance by Arkansas pitcher Katy
Henry. Henry tossed a complete
game, giving up only one run and
striking out 10.
I think she threw her game, and
we didnt do a good job of staying off
of stuff out of the strike zone, Bunge
said. She did a good job of moving
the ball in and out.
Freshman Sarah Vertelka came in
to relieve Humphreys and pitched
5 2/3 innings, giving up only one
unearned run.
Sarah did a really nice job when
she came in there in relief, Bunge
said. She kept the ball down, and
she kept the game where it needed
to be to give us a chance to get back
into it.
Sophomore starting pitcher
Valerie George led Kansas to
a 4-2 victory in the first game
of the double-header, throwing
five scoreless innings and earn-
ing her ninth victory of the year.
Sophomore third baseman Val
Chapple provided an offensive
spark by going 2-for-3 with two
runs scored in the first game.
Chapple added an RBI double in
the second game.
Bunge said that while it was
always frustrating to walk away from
the field with a loss, she hoped the
team would take a few lessons from
the second game.
It definitely leaves a bitter taste
in your mouth, Bunge said. So I
hope that that makes the girls ready
and hungry to come out tomorrow
and do some good things.
Kansas will return to Arrocha
Ballpark today as it plays host to
Nebraska in a single game at 3 p.m.

MANHATTAN For a Kansas
team slated to play eight games
over a nine-day span, Tuesdays
game was the last thing the
Jayhawks needed.
In addition to the 10-6 loss,
Kansas spent nearly four hours at
Kansas States Tointon Stadium on
Tuesday night, using four of its
seven available pitchers to com-
plete nine innings.
Entering Tuesday, coach Ritch
Price had planned on using only
junior starting pitcher Andres
Esquibel and relieving him with
junior Hiarali Garcia and sopho-
more closer Paul Smyth.
Thats what we came into the
game expecting to happen, Price
said. We thought Esquibel would
give us his normal five-to-six
innings, then wed use Hiarali for
two and finish off with Smyth.
That was our plan but we obvi-
ously didnt make it out of the first
inning.
Esquibel set the tone for the
Kansas pitching staff by failing to
make it out of the first inning. In
fact, he didnt even record an out.
He was charged with five earned
runs for his efforts and his ERA
ballooned from 4.93 to 6.10.
Esquibel seemed to take an
eternity earning his infinite ERA,
walking four of the six batters he
faced. Junior right-hander Matt
Lane managed to stop the bleed-
ing. Forty-eight minutes after the
first pitch, the first Wildcat batter
was retired.
Junior Hiarali Garcia had the
longest and most effective outing
of any Jayhawk. He lasted 4 2/3
innings more than doubling
his previous season-long outing
of two innings and the only
two runs he allowed came in his
last inning of work when fatigue
set in.
Garcia pitched effectively, strik-
ing out four while allowing only
four hits and no walks. Despite
being his first long outing, throw-
ing 70 pitches, he welcomed the
challenge.
It kind of came second-nature
because Ive always been a starter
at other levels, Garcia said. I just
let the adrenaline and want to win
take over.
As a result of tight scheduling,
Kansas only off day between last
Friday and this Saturday was on
Monday, but Price wasnt worried
about his staff.
I think well be fine, Price
said. Obviously we didnt use
Smyth tonight and Esquibel and
Hiarali will be able to bounce back
on Friday without any problems
at all.

MANHATTAN Coach
Ritch Price was curious about
the temperature after Tuesdays
10-6 loss to Kansas State. His
guess of 20 degrees wasnt far
from the actual mid-30s his team
played in for the nearly four-
hour game.
Thats the
coldest, windi-
est game Ive
ever played in,
Price said. Im
surprised the
guys were even
able to throw
strikes.
It certainly
was a struggle.
Prices starting pitcher, Andres
Esquibel, didnt even make it out
of the first inning. The Wildcats
hung five runs on Esquibel in
the opening frame.
Price thought the cold weath-
er and wind had an effect on
Esquibels performance.
I think thats the first time
hes had a chance to pitch when
its just freezing cold, Price said.
Being from California, obvi-
ously, I dont think he had a very
good feel for the baseball. Thats
the first time hes been wild
since hes been with us.
In the top half of the first,
Kansas looked as if the series
loss to Missouri was long for-
gotten. The Jayhawks swung the
games momentum their way on
a two-out rally that included two
hits, a walk and a Wildcat error.
With two outs and two on,
junior second baseman Ryne
Price soared a pop-up over K-
State shortstop Eli Rumler. A run
scored when Rumler dropped
the ball, and the third run of
the inning scored on sophomore
catcher Buck Afenirs single that
followed.
That three-run advantage
that Esquibel started with didnt
mean much after the Wildcats
posted five runs in the bottom
of the first. The junior right-
hander didnt even record an out
as he walked four of the six bat-
ters he faced.
The 52-
minute first
inning set
the tone for
the long night
t o f ol l ow.
The in-state
rivals racked
up eight runs
and six hits
between them
in the opening
inning.
Three straight base hits and
a pair of walks in the bottom of
the second spread the Wildcat
lead to 7-3.
Showing the same rally power
they did against the Tigers last
weekend, the Jayhawks scored
a pair of their own in their next
at-bat. Starter Todd Vogel also
struggled with walks, walking
junior left fielder John Allman
and sophomore first baseman
Preston Land to lead off the
third.
Afenirs single in the top of
the third not only scored Land,
but also marked his third multi-
hit game in the last four.
Although Kansas reliever
Ryotaro Hayakawa loaded the
bases in K-States half of the
fourth, just one scored. In fact,
the Wildcats left 11 runners on
base Tuesday night.
The Jayhawks also strand-
ed 11 runners, but left them
when it counted. Kansas nar-
rowed the gap to 8-6 in the sixth
but wouldnt score again. Two
Wildcat singles followed by a
double down the left field line
scored the final pair of runs,
closing the door on any Jayhawk
comeback.
It is tough when we get a lead,
like we did to start the game,
and give it up right away, senior
center fielder Kyle Murphy said.
But its not out of our control
right now, were just going to
have to keep putting runs up.
Kansas will play Kansas
Wesleyan University (9-18, 3-5
KCAC) today. The first pitch is
scheduled for 4 p.m. at Hoglund
Ballpark.

Swedish authorities reject
couples baby name choice
STOCKHOLM, Sweden Me-
tallica may work as a name for a
heavy metal band, but a Swedish
couple is struggling to convince
authorities its also suitable for a
baby girl.
Swedens tax agency rejected
Michael and Karolina Tomaros
application to name their 6-month-
old daughter after the legendary
rock band.
It suits her,Karolina Tomaro, 27,
said Tuesday of the name. Shes deci-
sive and she knows what she wants.
Although little Metallica has
already been baptized, the Swed-
ish National Tax Board refused to
register the name, saying it was as-
sociated with both the rock group
and the word metal.
In Sweden, parents must get the
names of their children approved
by the tax authority, which is in
charge of the population registry
and issues personal identifcation
numbers, similar to Social Security
numbers in the United States.
Tomaro, who has appealed the
decision, said the ofcial handling
the case also called the name ugly.
The couple was backed by the
County Administrative Court in
Goteborg, which ruled on March 13
that there was no reason to block
the name. It also noted that there
already is a woman in Sweden with
Metallica as a middle name.
The tax agency appealed to
a higher court, frustrating the
familys foreign travel plans.
Weve had to cancel trips and
cant get anywhere because we
cant get her a passport without an
approved name,Tomaro said.
Associated Press
Opening week. Nothing tells us
spring has arrived better than the
arrival of Major League Baseball.
The start of the baseball sea-
son highlights the best sports week
of the year, beginning with the
NCAA Basketball Tournament final
Monday night and the final round
of the Masters on Sunday. Lets take
a look at the pressing questions to
answer this season while Royals fans
soak up their few seconds atop the
division standings.
Is this the Royals year?
That is, is this the year the Royals
lose less than 100 games? Following
three straight atrocious seasons, the
squad put together by new gener-
al manager Dayton Moore looked
impressive Monday in a victory
against the Boston Red Sox. For
one day at least, the Royals actu-
ally resembled a Major League caliber
team. With Moore pulling the strings,
it appears the Royals have solid young
talent, led by 2005 No. 2 overall draft
pick Alex Gordon, who will play third
base, to build around a veteran core.
Final record prediction: 74-88
How many bandwagon Cardinals
and Cubs fans will we see on campus?
One knows the Cubs or Cardinals
are in contention by strolling through
campus in the fall and counting the
number of blue and red hats. With
both teams in baseballs weakest divi-
sion, expect to see the number of
Jayhawks suddenly cheering for these
teams to quadruple next October.
Is Dice-K the real deal?
Local fans have a chance to catch
the Japanese Pedro up close and
personal in his first career start
Thursday at Kauffman Stadium. The
Red Sox nearly broke the bank by
landing Daisuke Matsuzaka, and if
Curt Schillings performance Monday
at Kansas City is any indication of his
age starting to catch up with him, the
Sox may need a Cy Young-like per-
formance out of Dice-K to contend
with the New York Yankees in the
American League East.
Are the Atlanta Braves going to
restore order?
The baseball world seemed turned
upside-down without the Braves,
who had won 14 straight division
championships in the playoffs last
season. After completely overhaul-
ing their bullpen following a season
in which they blew 29 saves, second
only to the Royals, the Braves look
like they can challenge the New York
Mets for top position in the National
League East. The Mets have the most
complete lineup in the league, but
their starting rotation behind Tom
Glavine is a question mark. Look for
both the Braves and Mets to make
the playoffs, with one team snagging
the wild card.
Is Barry Bonds going to drive
everyone crazy?
While most sports fans are already
tired of seeing Bonds in the media,
expect things to get even worse as
he challenges Hank Aarons all-
time home run record. The Juiced
Wonder will likely break Aarons
record if he stays healthy, so fans can
only hope Bonds forgets to put on his
eight pounds of metal body armor as
he crowds home plate. Final predic-
tion: 760 home runs for Bonds and a
sudden spike in income for human
growth hormone smugglers.

Pro footBaLL
NFL to allow local stations
to shoot footage on sidelines
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. The
National Football League will allow
more local television stations to cover
games from the sidelines next season
under a policy change prompted by
complaints from broadcast media.
Lawmakers in Missouri and
Arizona had challenged an NFL
policy, adopted for last season, that
booted most local video cameras
from the sidelines. Instead, TV sta-
tions were required to get sideline
footage from a pool photographer
or use the network television clips.
Broadcast stations complained
the policy prohibited them from
zooming in on particular players
for feature stories that would be of
interest to their local audiences.
Under a change in policy, the
NFL now plans to allow up to 10
local TV cameras generally fve
from each teams media market
on the sidelines of games for its
2007-2008 season.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said
Tuesday that the new policy was
intended to address the concerns
of TV stations.
With one camera on the side-
line, it put a heavy burden on that
one station to make tapes available
and share it with so many other
stations, Aiello said in a telephone
interview. We can do this in a
more efcient way.
The NFL had described the
camera restrictions as a way to
make the sidelines safer and less
crowded while also protecting the
NFLs property rights to the game
video. All of those goals are still
met with the expanded number of
sideline cameras, Aiello said.
