Tiechtel, of
the Chabad
Jewish Center,
started a good
deed pledge
on the centers
Web site, www.

vtech, for stu-
dents to direct
their negative feelings about last
weeks violence into positive action.
Tiechtel said a Jewish custom was
to perform a good deed when a
person dies.
The pledge page includes a form
for students to fill in what they
would like to dedicate in honor of
Virginia Tech victims. The student
can post their pledge for others to
see or keep their good deed pri-
vate.
It makes
people look at
an ugly, disas-
trous event and
realize how
everything in
their life can
be channeled
in the oppo-
site direction,
Tiechtel said of
the pledge site.
Tiechtel said many students
came to him seeking guidance
and comfort after hearing of the

Free-throw contest
to beneft diabetics
By KyLe Carter
Nearly one hundred people par-
ticipated in a free-throw contest
organized by Christian Moody
last weekend at the Lawrence
Community Building, 115 W. 11th
St. The event benefited the Leo
Center, One Riverfront Plaza, Suite
100, where Moody serves as the
development director.
Joe Reitz, chief executive officer
of the Leo Center, said the pro-
ceeds would go to a new program
to help uninsured diabetes patients.
The program is designed to treat
the centers 150-plus patients that
suffer from diabetes by providing
healthy food, test strips to gauge
their blood sugar levels and oppor-
tunities for regular exercise.
Reitz said the program cost
$80,000 for the first year. Two
grants awarded to the medical clin-
ic cover $17,500 of the cost, and
Reitz said he would continue to
apply for more. At $20 an entrant,
the free-throw contest raised about
$2,000 for the program.
Reitz said diabetes care for
uninsured patients was an issue in
need of attention.

Twenty-one local artists will dis-
play their art tonight in an exhibit
called Fresh Produce.
Fresh Produce, a one-night, free
art show and party, will be held from
6 to 10 p.m. in Tellers Third Floor
Gallery, 746 Massachusetts St.
It is a product of an organization
called Red Balloon, which organizes
four art events in Lawrence each year.
The show features art by current and
former KU students.
Whit Bones, Tulsa, Okla., sopho-
more and curator for the show, said
artists were given two months to
produce a piece for the show.
I asked the artists to plant the
seed and now we are waiting to
see what kind of flowers blossom,
Bones said.
Sara McManus, KU alumna and
one of the shows organizers said the
show was organized by and show-
cased the art of current and former
KU students.
We are motivated young people
making things happen, McManus
said. We arent going to wait for
anyone to do it for us, so we are
doing it for ourselves.
One contributing artist, KU
alumna Lindsey Yankey, said this
was her first time participating in an
art exhibit.
The theme of the art show is
progressive and fresh or new art.
Yankey submitted two paintings
shed been working on in the two-
month period.
My paintings are fresh because
they are continually developing from
one to the next, so in this sense they
are fresh, she said. At least to me.
It was also McManus first time to
have art in a show. Her piece for the
show focused on changing the way
Southern plantations in the Civil
War era were depicted.
Through my work I try to inter-
rupt this reformulation of history and
commemorate the forgotten peoples
who were enslaved, McManus said.

Volunteers of all ages strutted
down the runway Saturday night
in fashions ranging from metallic
silver sweaters and dental headgear
to beach attire and throwback swim-
suits during the Aveda Earth Day
Fashion Show. The show was orga-
nized by Lada Salon and Spa, 4931
W. Sixth St., to raise money for the
Clean Water Fund, which helps to
preserve lakes and rivers.
Roughly 100 volunteers arrived
at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts
St., at 8 a.m. to model in the show. It
took all day for seven Lada stylists to
do the models hair and makeup.
More than 600 people roared and
cheered for friends and family as the
models walked down the runway.
Some of the models laughed and
waved at friends, while others were
serious.
Many of the models were KU
students, and four talent scouts
attended the show to find poten-
tial professional models. The four
scouts pledged to award $1,400 to
one model.
Ryan Mathisen, Highlands Ranch,
Colo., senior, said he hoped to be
noticed by a scout. Mathisen had mod-

Spring Arts Week, celebrated
every year by Hashinger Hall has
come to an end. The week included
an art gallery, a Postsecret display,
and a variety show. The week was a
big success to many students living
in Hashinger Hall.
The Hashinger Hall Arts Council
is responsible for organizing the
weeks events. This group includes
many students who are very active
within their residence hall environ-
ments. Diana Hall, Horton senior, is
president of the council.
Our purpose is to plan programs
for the entire building to create a strong
sense of community that is centered
around various types of art, Hall said.
Hashinger Hall has been around
since 1962. There has always been
a governing body, which eventually
molded into what is now the Hashinger
Hall Arts Council. The group has six
executive board members, but all resi-
dents of the Hall are welcome to come
to any meeting and give ideas for what
they want to see happen.
Formally, Hash Arts Council has
planned many dance parties and put
on a production in the fall. Hash has
also held many open mic nights in
coordination with Student Union
Activities.
Informally, we have had as many
porch parties as possible, Hall said.
Hashinger residents interested in
getting involved can speak with Hall
or attend the weekly meetings at 10
p.m. Sunday in the theater or confer-
ence room. This is not specifically
open to Hashinger residents; there
are ways to get involved in each
residence hall.
Get involved with governments
in your own buildings on campus,
Hall said. Talk to resident assistants
or proctors, and they will be able to
help you out.

odd news
Police capture alligator
sunbathing in town pond
HUNTINGTON, N.Y. Humans
werent the only species basking
in the Northeasts warm weekend
weather, as police helped capture
a small alligator sunbathing by
a small pond in this Long Island
town.
It was a startling sight on Satur-
day in a community just 35 miles
from Manhattan. The American alli-
gator is native to the South and it is
against New York law to own one,
said Ray Gross, chief of the Sufolk
County Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals.
Green with yellowish stripes
and roughly 2 feet long, the animal
appeared to be about 3 years old,
Gross said.
County police helped capture
the alligator, which wasnt too
happy to see us, said Ofcer Vinny
OShaughnessy.
We were incredulous at frst,
but then we knew that we had to
do something about it, he said.
The SPCA is looking for whoever
may have released the alligator.
That person could face animal
cruelty charges, Gross said.
He said the animal had probably
been raised in captivity and would
be unable to fend for itself in the
wild.
13-year-old girl crowned

NEW YORK OMG!
Thirteen-year-old Morgan
Pozgar, of Claysburg, Pa., was

cious from Mary Poppins in 15

Im going to go shopping and
buy lots of clothes, the teen said
after winning her $25,000 prize
from the electronics company LG.
Morgan defeated nearly 200
other competitors at the Roseland
Ballroom in Manhattan to become
East Coast champion and then beat
West Coast champion Eli Tirosh, 21,
of Los Angeles.
She estimated that she sends
more than 8,000 text messages a
month to her friends and family.
Santa look-alike vies for
rock, paper, scissors title
MANCHESTER, N.H. A burly
64-year-old retiree who resembles
jolly old St. Nick will be going
mano a mano with other contes-
tants in a national title bout in
Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Ray Scott won the New Hamp-
shire title by advancing through
eight rounds of tournaments at
Manchester bars and pubs. With his
white beard and spectacles, fans
cheered Go Santa Go during the
New Hampshire fnals earlier this
month.
Next month Scott heads to Las
Vegas to compete in the USA Rock
Paper Scissors Leagues national
competition. If he makes the right
move, he wins the $50,000 grand
prize. The competition will be
broadcast on ESPN.
Scott says he focuses more on
showmanship than strategy.
I dont have a strategy. I cant be
thinking Whats he gonna throw?
he said. I just throw something.
He said he enjoyed hamming
it up for the crowd, walking into
a room with a coat draped over
his shoulders like a cape, having a
friend put lotion on his hands and
his daughter dab sweat from his
brow. He plans to step it up for Las
Vegas.
Im wrestling with the costume
issue, he told the New Hampshire
Union Leader.
I have a very nice Father Christ-
mas outft not one of those
tacky Santa suits but I wonder
about little kids seeing Santa in
Vegas. What would I say to them?

Pearson Lawn Rock-A-Thon, an
outdoor concert held in the front
lawn of Pearson Scholarship Hall,
1426 Alumni Place, attracted a lively
crowd Saturday night.
Students sat on blankets on a
hill near the stage and enjoyed free
hamburgers and hot dogs, 80 degree
weather and live music by the local
bands Marry Me Moses, Hella Ivory,
Adams Eve and Lloyd Likes Mike.
Two audience members, David
Burchfield, Shawnee sophomore,
and Hadley Galbraith, Topeka
junior, were so moved by the music
of Marry Me Moses that they got up
and danced during a song that Ted
Kritikos, the lead singer, character-
ized as a little bit country.
Burchfield and Galbraith said
they werent embarrassed to have
danced in front of the crowd.
Galbraith said last year the event
was moved inside to the kitchen
of Pearson Hall because of rain.
Although she enjoyed the concert
last year, she said she preferred the
nicer weather.
Brendan Shaw, Milwaukee, Wis.,
junior and president of Pearson Hall,
said the weather Saturday was amaz-
ing, without a cloud in the sky.
It was a perfect day to sit on the
grass and listen to music, he said.
Shaw said the concert was an
incredible success and that the only
thing that could have been better
was to have had the road blocked
off.
We didnt get the street blocked
off, but I think it was more fun
to have cars driving through a live
concert or to watch the cars decide
to reverse and drive down another
street, Shaw said.
Members of Marry Me Moses
and Adams Eve are current and for-
mer residents of Pearson Scholarship
Hall. Both bands performed at the
event last year.
Shaw said in previous years the
crowd began to thin as the food
disappeared. This year, however, he
said the audience stayed through
all four sets and was responsive and
enthusiastic to the bands.
Saturday was the seventh year
for the Pearson Lawn Rock-A-Thon,
which is the scholarship halls biggest
social event. The event is free for stu-
dents and paid for by Pearson Halls
social and food budgets.

Scholarship hall students and
housing department faculty gath-
ered in anticipation Saturday for the
dedication of the Wilna Crawford
Community Center, 1346 Louisiana
St. Once a run-down house, the
center now provides a refuge for
scholarship hall students to relax
and study.
Its wonderful, weve already used
it, said Niki Thiessen, Topeka soph-
omore. Im really excited about the
lawn with the weather getting nice.
The house was refurbished to
include a kitchen, conference room,
event room and living and office
area for the scholarship hall com-
plex director. It is the first perma-
nent office space available to the All
Scholarship Hall Council.
The lawn was landscaped with
white and purple pansies and shrubs
and had a stone patio and fountain
on the front lawn. Diana Robertson,
interim director of housing, said the
transformation took a lot of work,
but was successful.
We ran into a few unexpected
challenges along the way, Robertson
said. One important thing we tried
to do was honor the history of the
house and yet update it.
The lawn was dedicated to Juanita
and Reginald Strait, who donated
the house to the Kansas University
Endowment Association. Reginald
was a professor of physical educa-
tion at the University of Kansas, and
Juanita served as a surrogate mother
for some KU students. At the dedica-
tion, Chancellor Robert Hemenway
said Juanita Strait hoped the house
could be used to continue helping
students in their absence.
Janette and Tom Rudkin, KU
alumni, donated $300,000 to have the
house restored for the Universitys
use. The house was dedicated in
memory of Janette Rudkins mother,
Wilna Crawford.
Rudkin reminisced with her sis-
ter, Nancy Calderwood, about their
mothers kindness and creativity to
explain why they wanted the house
be dedicated to her.
In my moms memory and to
carry on her traditions of hospitality,
we hope the students of the schol-
arship hall community will make
this house their home, Calderwood
said.
Tom Rudkin, a former resident
of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall, said
scholarship hall living was impor-
tant for the Universitys students and
environment. Rudkin said that while
helping his daughter search for a col-
lege to attend, they didnt come across
another university with residence life
like the University of Kansas.
I would have to say that it is a very
great pleasure to continue to support
what I think is the greatest living
arrangement on this or any campus
in the country, Rudkin said.

WASHINGTON Rep. Juanita
Millender-McDonald (D-Calif.)
died early Sunday of cancer, an
aide said.
Millender-McDonald, who was
68, died at her home in Carson,
Calif., said her chief of staff,
Bandele McQueen.
McQueen provided no details
on what form of cancer Millender-
McDonald had. He said she had
been receiving hospice care.
The congresswoman had asked
for a four- to six-week leave of
absence from the House last week
to deal with her illness.
She was in her seventh term
representing a heavily Democratic
Southern California district that
includes Compton, Long Beach
and parts of Los Angeles.
California and the nation have
lost a great friend and public ser-
vant, said California Democratic
Party Chairman Art Torres, who
served with Millender-McDonald
in the California state Legislature.
She was a champion for the con-
sumer and fought injustice wher-
ever she saw it. She always valued
public service and served her state
and nation with grace and honor.
This year Millender-
McDonald became chairwom-
an of the Committee on House
Administration, which oversees
operations of the House and fed-
eral election procedures.
The congresswoman, a native
of Birmingham, Ala., worked on
former Los Angeles Mayor Tom
Bradleys unsuccessful 1982 guber-
natorial campaign and other local
races as a volunteer before getting
elected to the Carson City Council
in 1990.
She went on to serve in the
California state Assembly, and in
1996 sought a U.S. House seat dur-
ing a special election to replace
Rep. Walter Tucker III, who had
been convicted of taking bribes
while mayor of Compton, Calif.,
and of cheating on his taxes.
She won the special election,
and in March beat out Tuckers
wife, Robin, in a primary that fea-
tured nine Democrats. She won a
full House term in November 1996
and has subsequently won re-elec-
tion easily.
Millender-McDonald had
recently worked on issues includ-
ing election reform and opposing
the genocide in Darfur.
She drew national attention
in 1996 when she took then-CIA
director John Deutch to Watts to
address the community follow-
ing a newspaper report alleging
that profits from domestic sales of
crack-cocaine were funneled to the
CIA-backed Contras in Nicaragua.

dents were worried and hurt but
wanted to help in some way.
The reaction was very strong,
so immediately we felt there was
a need to channel those feelings
of pain, Tiechtel said. The first
question was, what can we do for
the victims?
Laura Albert, Memphis junior,
was one student who felt troubled
and went to the Chabad Jewish
Center for comfort.
After what happened, I got very
emotional, Albert said. You never
think something like this would
happen, and when it does, you seek
something that feels safe to you.
Albert said she was very close to
Tiechtel and his family, so going to
them was her way of dealing with
the shock she felt.
Albert pledged to light a candle
for Liviu Librescu, the professor
who stood in the doorway to pro-
tect his students during the shoot-
ing, and to make a donation to
a local Lawrence shelter. Albert
lit the honorary candle on Friday
and wanted to make her donation
after she gathered more clothing
and supplies from her neighbors in
Naismith Hall.
As an elementary education major,
Albert said the events at Virginia Tech
made her more passionate about her
future in education.
We need to teach children,
when theyre children, how to
channel their energy, Albert said.
We cant wait until its a big prob-
lem that they feel they have to go on
a shooting spree.
Rachel Weltman, Sugarland,
Texas, sophomore, helps take care
of Rabbi Tiechtels son, Mendel,
and said she pledged to continue
helping them as much as she can.
She also works with disabled people
and pledged to continue working to
make their lives better.
About 25 pledges have been
posted on the Web site, and Tiechtel
said many more were sent to him
unpublished, because students
chose to have those deeds remain
private. One student pledged to
volunteer at a hospital, and many
more to help those around them in
need. Tiechtel plans to keep the site
up permanently, so people can look
at it and make a pledge at any time.
The real lesson society can take
from this is to reach out to lone-
ly people, Tiechtel said. If you
embrace them, it can change many
lives.

Participants competed in six age
groups, shooting 25 free throws each
on Saturday. The top five shooters
from each age group advanced to the
finals on Sunday. Most contestants
who advanced made at least 20 of
their attempts. Adam Hall, a 17-

Moody sent to him.
Luke Henry, Lawrence junior,

Theres a couple of modeling agencies

Other students, such as Natale
Collar, blonde-haired Lenexa
senior, participated just for fun.
I was working at Miltons, and this
guy liked my hair and asked me to be
in the show, Collar said. I would abso-
lutely do it again. It was a lot of fun.
The show ended with a Hollywood
segment that consisted of several
models in their late teens and early
20s passing balls back and forth and
pretending to have a fun day on
the beach in the sun as Red Hot
Chili Peppers music blasted from the
speakers. Women dressed as movie
stars entered the stage in a mock
limousine and men wearing button-
down shirts and large-framed sun-
glasses took their pictures.
Lada owner Mark Chapman has

Shani Andersen, one of 120 volun-
teers not modeling in the show, said
that the goal was to raise $5,000 for
the Clean Water Fund. The show
surpassed the goal and raised about
$8,000, Andersen said.
Clean water is something you
dont think about every day until
you dont have it, Andersen said.
During the show, a silent auction
was held with about 100 donated
items up for sale. Items ranged from
paintings and jewelry to a voucher
for one free personal concert from
a local emo band.
Andersen said that the show was
a bigger event than most would

From his involvement on the
Senate Watergate Committee to
his early love for photography, for-
mer Tennessee Sen. Howard Baker
didnt have a shortage of stories to
tell Sunday night at the Lied Center
when he received the 2007 Dole
Leadership Prize.
Baker, who is now married to for-
mer Kansas Sen. Nancy Kassebaum
Baker, was famously quoted as say-
ing, What did the President know
and when did he know it? while
he was vice chairman of the Senate
Watergate Committee.
I still sort of thought it was essen-
tially a political concern and did not
have great substance to it, he said
about the Watergate scandal. Every
day it went on, I found there were
forces there I did not understand.
Four Dole Leadership Prizes have
been awarded by the Dole Institute
of Politics to such politicians as for-
mer New York City Mayor Rudi
Giuliani and former U.S. Sen. George
McGovern. With the prize, Baker
also received $25,000, which he is
giving to the Landon Center on
Aging at the University of Kansas
Medical Center.
Baker, a native Tennessean, served
as Senate majority leader and then
Senate minority leader from 1977 to
1985. He was also the U.S. ambas-
sador to Japan from 2001 to 2005,
and said that a good relationship
between the United States and Japan
was essential to preserve stability in
the Far East.
Bakers storytelling during the
award presentation included tales of
his first date with Kassebaum Baker,
where he put on his best blue suit
and took her out to dinner. He also
noted his passion for photography,
something that started in the Boy
Scouts of America as soon as I dis-
covered I wasnt good at tying knots,
he said.
Baker said the photographs he has
taken were, the nearest thing I have
to a diary.
Bill Lacy, director of the Dole
Institute of Politics, said the Dole
Leadership Prize was given to an
individual with a long career in pub-
lic service and encourage people to
think positively about politics.
Politicians that serve the nation
best have strong principles they stick
to. But dont let those principles get
in the way of the civil discussion of
issues, Lacy said.
Baker was named White House
chief of staff in 1987 by President
Reagan during the Iran-Contra
Affair, a time Baker said was not
the not the high point of the Reagan
presidency. Lacy said Bakers role
as White House chief of staff essen-
tially allowed Reagan to salvage his
presidency.
Baker said one of his proud-
est accomplishments was injecting
bipartisan relations in the Senate.
I have no recommendations
for anybody else to serve 18 years,
Baker said. In my case, thats long
enough.

LOS ANGELES As Alec
Baldwins angry words to his
daughter were being broadcast
around the world, the 49-year-old
actor explained himself Friday on
his Web site.
Although I have been told by
numerous people not to worry
too much, as all parents lose their
patience with their kids, I am most
saddened that this was released to
the media because of what it does
to a child, he wrote. Im sorry, as
everyone who knows me is aware,
for losing my temper with my child.
I have been driven to the edge by
parental alienation for many years
now. You have to go through this to
understand. (Although I hope you
never do.) I am sorry for what hap-
pened. But I am equally sorry that
a court order was violated, which
had deliberately been put under
seal in this case.
A voicemail Baldwin left for his
11-year-old daughter, in which he
can be heard calling her a rude,
thoughtless little pig, was pub-
lished Thursday by celebrity news
site TMZ.com.
Baldwin and his ex-wife, Kim
Basinger, have been engaged in
bitter custody disputes over their
daughter, Ireland, since the couple
divorced in 2002.
In such public cases, your
opponents attempt to take a pic-
ture of you on your worst day and
insist that this is who you are as a
person, Baldwin wrote. Outside
the doors of divorce court, I have
friends, I have respect from people
I work with and I have a normal
relationship with my daughter. All
of that is threatened whenever one
enters a court room.
Meanwhile, Baldwins attorney,
Vicki Greene, said she filed a court
order to determine how the tape
got leaked and to determine wheth-
er actions should be taken against
Kim Basinger, or her attorneys,
or Harvey Levin (who runs TMZ.
com) and anybody else associated
with the leaking of the tape and
the violation of the court orders to
keep the proceedings closed.
Greene told TVs The Insider
that anyone involved in this case
should want to protect Ireland,
so whatever happened was either
intentional, reckless or negligent.
The matter is set for a hearing
June 5, Greene said.
Basingers attorney, Neal Hersh,
weighed in on the family saga
Friday on TMZ.com.
I am concerned that Mr.
Baldwins recent statement, where-
in he attempts to shift responsibil-
ity to Kim and her lawyers for his
issues with Ireland, shows just how
out of touch he is with the reality
and gravity of the situation, Hersh
said.
Basingers spokeswoman had no
comment Friday.
NEW YORK A fundraising
auction of music memorabilia from
Jimi Hendrix, The Edge, Bono, Paul
McCartney and others brought in
$2.4 million, some of which will
go to a charity that replaces musi-
cal equipment lost to hurricanes
Katrina and Rita.
It was the best sale weve ever
done, said Darren Julien, presi-
dent and CEO of Juliens Auctions,
which ran the event benefiting
Music Rising.
A guitar owned by Jimi Hendrix
was sold for $480,000.
Music Rising was co-founded
by The Edge, the U2 guitarist who
donated his favorite instrument, a
1975 Gibson Les Paul that he has
played for years. The guitar had
been expected to bring $60,000 to
$80,000, but it went for $288,000,
including the commission.
Other highlights included a pair
of sunglasses donated by Bono that
went for $24,000, a guitar from Bob
Dylan that sold for $192,000, and
a guitar from Paul McCartney that
brought in $81,600.
The event Saturday night at the
Hard Rock Cafe was so popular that
bidding went on for three hours
after the scheduled conclusion,
Julien said.
The final amount going to the
charity had not been tallied yet,
he said.

LILONGWE, Malawi Madonna
jetted out of Malawi on Sunday after
a six-day visit to the impoverished
homeland of the toddler she wants to
adopt, carrying the boy in her arms
as she boarded her plane.
Madonna and her husband, film
producer Guy Ritchie, took cus-
tody of David Banda last October
after finding him in an orphanage.
Critics said the 48-year-old star used
her celebrity status to circumvent
Malawian adoption laws allega-
tions she denies.
The 20-month-old toddler waved
to the bodyguards and driver who
had escorted him during the visit.
Madonna, wearing her now familiar
straw hat, did not look back as she
disappeared into the silver jet, with
her daughter Lourdes following.
The star and her entourage spent
their time visiting orphanages, proj-
ects for street children and agri-
cultural development programs as
well as opening a new day care cen-
ter funded by her charity, Raising
Malawi.
Madonna, who lives in London,
made one visit to the Home of Hope
orphanage, where David lived after
the death of his mother in childbirth.
There was no sign that Madonna
had met with Yohane Banda, the
peasant farmer who placed his son
in the orphanage saying he was too
poor to care for him.
It was also unclear whether
Yohane Banda met alone with his
son, as he had hoped.
Davids mother died of complica-
tions in childbirth and his two sib-
lings died of malaria in infancy.
Although a coalition of human
rights groups challenged Madonnas
adoption plans in the courts, many
locals say they are happy that the
celebrity has drawn attention to
Malawi, which usually makes news
because of drought, hunger and the
occasional political scandal.
LOS ANGELES Oliver Stone
will direct a TV commercial as part
of a campaign by MoveOn.org and
VoteVets.org to bring U.S. troops
home from Iraq.
The Oscar-winning director and
Vietnam veteran will direct a 30-sec-
ond spot that will air in about three
weeks on national TV. It will feature
a U.S. veteran of the Iraq war or the
family of a veteran discussing the
wars impact.
Stone, 60, is donating his services,
Howe said.
We have leaders in Washington
who say theyre `supporting our
troops but the people who suf-
fer most from their policies are the
troops themselves, Stone said in a
statement Thursday.
I decided to participate in this
project because, as a veteran, I know
that America needs to listen to our
servicemen and women. Theyve
been there and they know whats
really going on. They need to be part
of this debate.
The soldier or family in the com-
mercial will be chosen from some 20
finalists by MoveOn.org members in
an online vote.
Video interviews of the finalists
will appear on MoveOn.orgs Web
site and on YouTube.
Stories from veterans and fam-
ily members have poured in over
the past few years and we wanted
to provide a platform where they
could speak directly to the American
people and policymakers, said Nita
Chaudhary, a MoveOn.org cam-
paigner.

Gun control laws
need examination
deconstructing media
In the aftermath of the Virginia
Tech tragedy, the hot debate on
gun control will inevitably arise,
along with the tired mantra of
the NRA: Guns dont kill people.
We all know that guns dont
walk around and pull their own
triggers. People shoot guns,
guns spit bullets and bullets
cause deadly physical damage. It
should be relevant, however, that
distressed loners and enraged
exes specifically reach for guns
in their murderous rages because
guns are highly effective killing
tools that are too easily avail-
able.
Some believe that violent epi-
sodes such as the recent school
shooting would not occur if more
persons protected themselves
with guns. If we all had guns
and someone started unloading
bullets in an innocent crowd,
we would have a war, not peace.
Even if a few law-abiding citi-
zens with good aim managed to
quickly quell the havoc, there
would be far more incensed and
disillusioned people that would
use guns to begin conflict.
Yet gun control is severely
lacking. In Kansas, there are
no restrictions on the number
of guns that can be purchased,
no record on gun sale and no
requirement that guns be reg-
istered with law enforcement.
Assault weapons are as available
as hunting rifles. Customers do
not need a license or training to
purchase a handgun and it is not
necessary to buy a child-safety
lock. There is no waiting period
on gun sales after the criminal
background, which occurs only
at federally-licensed gun stores
and not at other venues, such as
gun shows. In 1999, the Harvard
School of Public Health found
two-thirds of grade school and
high school students reported
that they could obtain a gun
within 24 hours.
Such lenient gun control has
caused countless tragedies. In
1998, the Centers for Disease
Control found that 57 percent of
gun deaths involved suicide and
40 percent involved homicide.
According to a report by the
US Secret Service and the US
Department of Education, two
thirds of students involved in
nearly 40 school shootings from
1974 to 2000 obtained their guns
from their own home or a rela-
tives home. A childs risk of com-
mitting suicide is also greater
when guns are available in the
home.
Another famed NRA slogan
asserts when guns are outlawed,
only outlaws have guns.
Far more plentiful than armed
outlaws, however, are crushed,
confused and irrational individu-
als near boiling point whose first
crime begins with a rash decision
to reach for an easily available
gun. As history demonstrates,
their hasty crimes can leave an
indelible scar in society.
In the wake of yet another
school shooting, we must begin
to realize the relation between
gun availability and gun-related
deaths. Capping freedom is a
touchy topic, but we all already
understand that individual free-
doms are reasonably and neces-
sarily limited. Most significantly,
it is wrong and illegal to kill
another person. Why, therefore,
should it be legal to easily sell
and trade guns primarily used to
kill people?

Wacky style goes far for Idol contestant
Season six of American Idol has
proved vexing for many of its fans.
Not only have Americas votes been
all over the place, but the focus of
this years competition has changed
from the performers singing to
their fashion sense. Its no wonder
fans are confused about who to
vote for.
Contestants have caught on to
this new trend, though. Two of
the Top 24 contestants used their
fashion sense for weeks to further
themselves in the competition.
Haley Scarnato, from San Antonio,
made it all the way to the Top 8,
and Sanjaya Malakar, from Federal
Way, Wash., made it into the Top 7,
finally getting voted off last week.
While Scarnatos fashion sense
mostly consisted of strutting her
long, tan legs across the stage,
Malakar managed to peak the
nations interest with a wacky new
hairdo and wardrobe each time he
took the stage.
Now that
Malakar and his
nonexistent talent
have been voted
off, it is necessary
to pay tribute to
his ever-budding
character on
the show so that
others may learn the tricks of the
scamp in disguise.
During Malakars eight-week
stay, he sported everything from a
drifting wanderers outfit with blah,
non-styled hair to a piano mans
white and black suit with slicked
back hair in a bob.
Its obvious his style choices
were intentional. If not, spectators
and radio talk show hosts wouldnt
have been blabbing on and on the
day after each show, dissecting
Malakars looks.
A little more than half-way
through the Top
24, Malakar came
out bold and
springy with the
pony-hawk a
Mohawk created
by putting his
hair in several
frizzed-out pony
tails. Does any-
one remember the song he sang
while sporting this do? No. Why?
Everyone was laughing through
the entire performance and asking
themselves, What the f***?
In his last performance, Malakar
sported a red bandana that he must
have thought shouted Im all coun-
try! Instead, his look was reminis-
cent of a Diana Ross-bad hair day
that couldnt be tamed by product
so instead had to roped-in by a
bandana. A hoe-down might have
been more suitable complete with
cowboy hat, chaps, a big belt buckle
and shit kickers.
One other performance sticks
out in the mind. During jazz night,
Malakar came out in a white suit
with a black shirt underneath.
His hair was slicked back in a bob
and a cheesy grin radiated off his
face. While the look was fitting for

I want to thank you for your
outpouring of support and the con-
dolences that you sent to Virginia
Tech students, professors and their
families. We are profoundly sad-
dened by this tragedy. So thank you
for taking the time to express your
support and concern. It helps to
hear and see a visible expression of
your sympathy.
However, this tragedy requires
a few more words and observa-
tions. Maybe they will help you and
the chancellor as you decide what
changes to make at the University
of Kansas. I grew up in Fairway and
graduated from the University in
1969.
I came to Charlottesville, the
home of the University of Virginia,
in 1971 and assumed my first pro-
fessional position as the assistant
to the city manager, who was also
a KU graduate. From here I went
on to become the city manager of
Roanoke, Va. Roanoke is 35 miles
from Virginia Tech and has the same
supportive and emotional connec-
tion to the university as we did liv-
ing in Fairway, with the University
of Kansas. My son, daughter-in-law
and two grandchildren live there
today.
City managers are required to
make many decisions that affect
the safety of the residents and visi-
tors to their city. The difficulty of
those decisions is of no interest to
the population. They want the right
decision made at the right time.
Citizens have a right to make such
a demand. Speed and efficiency are
highly valued and required in city
government.
Universities operate in a different
environment. Speed and efficiency
are not as highly valued. The time
to write, do research and debate is
a higher value than efficiency and
it should be. Fundamental research
and the writing of books can take
years, if not decades to complete.
Unfortunately, these two cultures
can collide when a public safety
crises arrives or is anticipated. The
Daily Progress, our local newspa-
per, said that the president of the
University of Virginia will install an
instant messaging system for emer-
gencies by the beginning of next
academic year and that Virginia
Tech has been considering install-
ing such a system for many months.
These are not speedy decisions.
You must be asking: What can
we do to insure that the University
of Kansas campus is as safe as pos-
sible? I suggest the following for
your consideration. First, tell the
chancellor what emergency informa-
tion you want, when you want it and
how you want to receive it. Second,
tell the chancellor when you want
this system in place. Third, look at
the lock down procedures and see
if they are acceptable. Fourth, look
at the experience and credentials of
the individual responsible for public
safety and to whom they report. In
my opinion, they should probably
report directly to the chancellor.
Why? So they can quickly give
unvarnished recommendations
directly to the chancellor without
fear of disagreeing with their boss.
The Universitys current system
may be perfect. But, whatever it is,
it needs to be tested with real life
scenarios on an annual basis. The
Montgomery County, Va., Hospital
that received most of the injured
patients runs real time drills twice a
year. They say that those drills and
the changes they inspired, insured
that they would be ready to deal
with multiple casualties and save
multiple lives.
There are many academic issues
arising from this tragedy that should
be discussed next academic year.
Do we care? If so, what can be
done to change it?
Best wishes, stay safe, ask ques-
tions and only accept concrete and
measurable solutions.

University should reconsider safety options

BEAUFORT, S.C. A somber
crowd watched as six jets flew over-
head in formation at an air show
where a Navy Blue Angel pilot died
in a crash the day before.
Smoke streamed behind one of
the jets as it peeled away from the
others to complete the missing man
formation, the traditional salute for
a lost military aviator.
Sundays air show at Marine
Corps Air Station Beaufort began
with a tribute to the Navy Blue Angel
pilot whose aircraft plunged to the
ground Saturday as the elite aviators
were coming together for their final
formation.
The spirit of the pilot is in the
arms of a loving God, said Rob
Reider, a minister who was the
announcer for the air show.
The Navy identified the pilot
Sunday afternoon as Lt. Cmdr. Kevin
J. Davis, 32, of Pittsfield, Mass.
Witnesses said metal and plas-
tic wreckage some of it on fire
hit homes 35 miles northwest of
Hilton Head Island. William Winn,
the county emergency manage-
ment director, said several homes
were damaged. Eight people on the
ground suffered injuries that were
not life threatening, said Capt. Sarah
Kansteiner of Marine Corps Air
Station Beaufort.
An investigation has begun, but
Kansteiner said Sunday that she
could not say anything about the
cause of the crash.
The crash took place in the final
minutes of Saturdays air show, said
Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Walley, a Blue
Angel pilot. The pilots were doing
a maneuver which involved all six
planes joining from behind the
crowd to form a triangle, said Lt.
Cmdr. Garrett D. Kasper, spokesman
for the Blue Angels. One plane did
not rejoin the formation.
A Navy statement said the pilot
had been on the team for two years,
but this was his first time to be a
demonstration pilot.
Our squadron and the entire U.S.
Navy are grieving the loss of a great
American, a great Naval officer and
a great friend, Walley said.
Kasper said all possible causes of
the crash were under investigation,
and it could take at least three weeks
for an official cause to be released.
John Sauls, who lives near the
crash site, said the planes were bank-
ing back and forth before one disap-
peared and smoke shot up.
Its one of those surreal moments
when you go, No, I didnt just see
what I saw, Sauls said.

Virginia Tech students prepare to resume classes

ASSoCIATEd PRESS
BLACKSBURG, Va. Still griev-
ing and increasingly wary of the
media spotlight, Virginia Tech stu-
dents returned to their beleaguered
campus Sunday, preparing to salvage
the final weeks of a semester eclipsed
by violence.
The scene on campus resembled
move-in day in late summer, with
parents helping their children carry
suitcases into dormitories. There
were tears and hugs. But instead of
excitement for the year ahead, there
was simply determination to endure
and regroup in the fall.
When classes resume Monday, the
university will give students three
choices: They can continue through
the end of the semester next week,
take a grade based on what they
have done so far, or withdraw from a
course without penalty.
I want to go back. Its just real-
ly strange to just stop going, said
Paul Deyerle, a sophomore from
Roanoke who was helping a friend
move belongings from the dormito-
ry where another close friend, Ryan
Clark, was among those killed in the
worst shooting massacre in modern
U.S. history.
A number of students living in
West Ambler Johnston Hall have
asked to be relocated elsewhere.
I need to keep going back,
Deyerle said, struggling for words.
It seems like every other facet of my
life is different now, so I have to.
A number of students said they
had been drawn to the comforts of
home immediately after the shoot-
ing, but now were drawn back to the
tight-knit Virginia Tech community.
When we hit Route 460 and we
could see the campus, we both start-
ed crying, said sophomore Ashleigh
Shifflett, eating a picnic lunch with
her sister Regan near memorials to
the victims on campus. I was happy
to see my family, but I felt like I
needed to be here, and when I came
back here, it was like Im home.
Virginia Tech officials say their
top priority is the victims families,
who were given a private e-mail
address and direct phone number
for President Charles Steger.
Administrators have canceled big
events such as the spring football
game and postponed a fundrais-
ing campaign. The goal is to begin
restarting academic life without
pushing the universitys 26,000 stu-
dents too hard.
I dont know what else you could
do, said John Rossi, chairman of the
math department. A student, I dont
know how much theyre going to be
able to learn at this point. Maybe
some can. But I think some students
are just not going to be able to come,
so why would you penalize them?
Theres going to be some faculty
dealing with that, too.
Students say they welcome the
outpouring of support they have
received, but they have grown notice-
ably weary of the news media. The
Student Government Association
asked reporters to leave by 5 a.m.
Monday, before classes begin.
Our students are ready to start
moving forward, and the best we
can do that is to get the campus back
to normal, Liz Hart, director of
public relations for the SGA, said in
a telephone interview. Students dont
want anything external remind to
us it will be a difficult road. We
know that.

With only six days remaining to
declare for the NBA Draft, theres still
no word on Brandon Rushs decision,
and dont expect one anytime soon.
The sophomore guard has said he
would leave for the draft if he thought
he would be the 20th pick or better.
Three draft-projection Web sites have
him ranked as 20, 21 and 22.
The rankings fluctuate as other
young players decide what they will
do. More players in the draft is bad
news for Rush, who is looking for
other strong NBA prospects to stay
in school so his name moves up in
the rankings.
Hell have to
make his decision
by this Sunday.
The NBA has
given players until
midnight to state
their intentions.
Even if Rush
declares for the
draft, NBA rules
allow him to withdraw within the
next couple months after visiting and
working out with teams interested
in him. Thats what Rush did out of
high school. He tested the professional
waters and backed out when he real-
ized he would not be a high selection.
He then came to Kansas.
A player is only allowed to with-
draw from the draft twice, so if Rush
were to go down that route this year,
he would be unable to in the future.
This week turns into a waiting
game as Rush takes stock of the
draft landscape. Scouts say there is
a strong case for him to stay as well
as turn pro.
His age is one factor that is
repeatedly mentioned. He is only
a sophomore but turns 22 before
the 2007-2008 NBA season starts.
With short career spans, professional
basketball players have a small win-
dow of time in which to make their
money, which could fuel his desire to
turn pro sooner.
As a guard this season, Rush was
the only player to start all 38 games
for the team. He was the key player
in several games, notably the tour-
nament victory against Southern
Illinois.
During the tournament, and since
the season ended, he has maintained
that he has not made a decision
about the draft. He reportedly met
with coach Bill Self on Thursday
before Self left for a weekend recruit-
ing trip but that meeting was only to
touch base and was not about any
specific decision.
NBA scouts love Rushs athlet-
icism and size. Hes 6-foot-6 and
made 43 percent of his three-point-
ers this season. However, at times he
hesitated to take shots and lacked a
consistent playmaking ability.
Rushs teammates said they would
like him to stay but would support
him whatever decision he made.
With the loss of Rush and sophomore
forward Julian Wright, the Jayhawks
would be set back for next season.
No matter which way Rush decides,
it is unlikely he will make his decision
known early this week.

Final day sees Jayhawk winners, world-best time
BY TAYLor BErn
Fans saw several great perfor-
mances at the final day of the 80th
Kansas Relays.
The main attraction, Bershawn
Batman Jackson, put up the best
time in the world this year in the
400-meter hurdles, crossing the line
in 48.75 seconds.
I feel had there not been so
much wind, I would have easily
ran sub-0:48, Jackson said. I had
to (adjust my strategy) because the
wind threw me off.
Nichole Denby narrowly beat
2004 Olympic champion Joanna
Hayes in the 100-meter hurdles,
winning the race by 0.06 seconds.
Also, in the mens invitation-
al pole vault Jeff Hartwig soared
above the competition to win the
event with a clearing height of
18-09.
Kansas had plenty of success on
Saturday as well, with sophomores
ShaRay Butler and Victoria Howard
each getting victories on the track
and senior Eric Babb winning the
long jump.
Howard finished the 100-
meter dash in 11.58 seconds while
Butler ran a personal-best time of
59.44 seconds in the 400-meter
hurdles.
Now that the weather is nice, I
felt like I could come out and run a
nice race, Butler said.
Babb was the real surprise story
for the Jayhawks, jumping from the
middle of the pack to the top of the
podium.
It was pretty crazy to see my
winning mark, Babb said. I wasnt
expecting my first jump in the finals
to do so well. When I saw that mark,
I knew I was going to be able to
jump well today.
Junior Ashley Brown competed
in the invitational 100- and 400-
meter hurdle races, getting close
to the Kansas record in the 100-
meter hurdles. Brown finished
with a sixth place time of 13.33
seconds in the 100 hurdles and
then came in fourth in the 400
hurdles with a season-best time of
58.48 seconds.

Jayhawks avoid weekend sweep in Lubbock
BY ALISSA BAUEr
Nearing their first series Big 12
Conference sweep this season, coach
Ritch Price and the Jayhawks put
their hopes of salvaging the weekend
on freshman lefty Wally Maricel.
He came through.
Allowing just one run in 5 2/3 innings
of work, Marciel (4-2) and the Jayhawks
picked up their first series finale victory
of the conference season Sunday against
the Texas Tech Red Raiders, 8-1.
Ive been really proud of his devel-
opment, Price said. He hasnt even
allowed an earned run in the month
of April, except for that home run
today. He pitched like the Hawaii high
school pitcher of the year today.
Marciels first Big 12 start was
decided after fellow left-hander Nick
Czyz was taken out of the rotation for
the weekend because of a sore tricep.
Marciels start, however, looked like
anything but a first. And with the help
of the offense Kansas has been more
accustomed to in past seasons, Marciel
had plenty of room to get comfy.
Kansas (20-25, 6-12) took its first
lead on a two-out rally in the top of the
second. With two down, junior second
baseman Ryne Price reached on a third
strike that got away from catcher Matt
Smith. A single from junior utility man
Casey Larson, who filled in at first base
on Sunday, kept the inning going for
junior designated hitter Joe Servais.
Servais took off on a pitch from
Cory Large. Large, who made his fourth
appearance of the season after being
injured for two months, surrendered
the first Jayhawk lead of the weekend as
Servais double scored Price.
The Red Raider designated hitter
did some damage in the bottom of
the third. The first and only home
run of the weekend came when Chris
Richburg led off the inning with a solo
blast to center field and tied the game.
Using three different Red Raider
relievers, three walks, one beaned batter
and just one hit, the Jayhawks put three
runs on board in the top of the sixth to
taking back the lead.
Junior left fielder John Allman
kicked off the scoring rally and the next
four Jayhawks walked safely to base.
A double by Erik Morrison was the
only hit of the inning as relievers Chris
Ortmeier and Josh Scofield combined
and walked three straight Jayhawks,

Jayhawks conquer
Red Raiders in Texas
BY EVAn KAFArAKIS
Kansas was finally able to put a
run on the board after four games
and 31 innings.
The team took out a recent slump
on Texas Tech (18-23, 1-9) this past
weekend in Lubbock, Texas, sweep-
ing the Red Raiders 4-1 and 5-3.
The Jayhawks have a nine-game
winning streak against the Red
Raiders that dates back to May
2003.
Kansas (29-18-1, 5-8) was off
to an early lead in Sundays game,
something the team hasnt done in
two weeks.
We havent proven all year that
we are a good come-from-behind
team, coach Tracy Bunge said.
Instead of having to come from
behind, the Jayhawks had to strike
first. They are 25-3 this season when
they put the first run on the board.
Kansas early offensive problems
with runners on base were corrected
right away when sophomore desig-
nated player Elle Pottorf hit a single
with the bases loaded in the first
inning, bringing in two runs.
The scoring continued as Kansas
scored one run each in the second,
third and fourth innings.
Pottorf led the offense, going 2-
for-3 with two RBI, along with fresh-
man second baseman Sara Ramirez,
who went 2-for-3 with two solo

All boats lose to Gophers
Loss exposes teams weaknesses, helps prepare for Big 12 Invitational
BY CATHERINE ODSON
The Kansas rowing team was
over-manned in its loss at Minnesota
on Saturday.
Kansas coach Rob Catloth said
the Gophers size and experience
helped them sweep the Jayhawks in
windy conditions on Lake Phalen
in St. Paul, Minn. The Gophers first
varsity eight boat is ranked No. 8 in
the country, and Catloth said their
other boats, especially the second
varsity eight, were equally strong.
Kansas first varsity eight
fell behind early in the race and
Minnesota continued to pull away
as the race progressed. The Gophers
finished the race in 7 minutes, 1.10
seconds, 24.4 seconds ahead of the
Jayhawks, who finished in 7:25.50.
Catloth said Minnesotas lead
helped the boat build on it.
As youre rowing, you can see whats
going on behind you and it sort of gives
you an emotional lift, he said. You
know theyre behind you. You dont
have to look over your shoulder to see
where they are. It spurs you on to add
more to the race or to the lead.
The closest race was the first nov-
ice eight, where Kansas lost by 12.2
seconds. Kansas first novice eight
won grand finals at the Knecht Cup
in Camden, N.J., the week before.
Kansas second novice eight finished
nearly 17 seconds behind Minnesota
but convincingly ahead of the novice
boat from the St. Thomas club team.
Minnesota finished in 8:17.35, Kansas
in 8:34.00 and St. Thomas in 9:51.60.
Minnesota also raced an extra varsity
eight against St. Thomas.
The regatta was Kansas last
before Sundays Big 12 Invitational
against Kansas State and Texas in
Kansas City, Kan.
Catloth said the team was too up
for the race and didnt race together as
a group, something they would work
on before the Big 12 Invitational.
Minnesota exposed the teams weak-
nesses, he said, giving the Jayhawks
something to focus on this week.
Sometimes when you race a team
faster than you, it really puts the
pressure on you, and you learn real
fast what you need to do to compete
at that level, Catloth said.

Royals redeem themselves
After loading bases in the frst, pitcher retires 16, allows only one run
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Jorge De
La Rosa got into a groove after work-
ing out of a jam in the first inning.
De La Rosa pitched a career-high
eight innings Sunday and retired 16
in a row during one stretch to lead
Kansas City to a 3-1 victory against
the Minnesota Twins, helping the
Royals win their first series of the
year.
De La Rosa (2-1) worked out of
a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the
first, striking out Justin Morneau
with a curveball and getting Torii
Hunter to fly out to the warning
track in center to end the inning.
I thought that was the biggest
out of the game, De La Rosa said of
striking out Morneau.
The Twins did not get another
base runner until the sixth.
No doubt that was a huge
moment, Royals catcher John Buck
said. A couple of games past, it
seems like we came out of that the
other way. That was a crucial point
and it happened to be in the first.
Maybe he fed off of that. Whatever
he had going, I like it. Id like to see
more of it.
De La Rosa allowed five hits,
struck out four and walked one. He
entered the game 0-3 with a 7.02
ERA in five career outings, including
three starts, against the Twins.
After the first inning he was as
good as anybody we saw this year
for us or against us, Royals manager
Buddy Bell said. He pitched out-
standing.
Mike Sweeney went 3-for-4 for
Kansas City and Ross Gload hit a
two-run home run in the third, his
first of the season.
I took one good swing today
and got us two runs and De La Rosa
pitched great, Gload said.
De La Rosa retired 16 in a row
after the Twins loaded the bases in
the first. Joe Mauer, who went 2-for-
4 to raise his average to .393, singled
with two outs in the sixth, went to
second on a passed ball charged
to Buck and scored on Michael
Cuddyers double down the left-field
line.
We had a chance to get to him in
the first inning with the bases loaded,
but after that not much out there,
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire
said. He was starting guys off with
fastballs and changeups. After the
first inning, he got into a nice little
groove. His changeup got better as
the game went along. His fastball
was jumping out of his hand. You
could see his confidence growing.
Ramon Ortiz (3-1) limited the
Royals to seven hits and three runs
over seven innings.
Gload hit a good pitch, a chan-
geup, but he hit it, Ortiz said.
Everything was working, my fast-
ball and my slider down and away.
It was nothing different from my
previous starts. Sometimes you win,
sometimes you lose.
Gload homered to center on a 1-1
pitch from Ortiz with Tony Pena Jr.
aboard in the third. Sweeneys two-
out single in the fifth scored Esteban
German, who led off the inning with
a double.
Rookie Joakim Soria, a Rule 5
pick from San Diego, worked the
ninth to pick up his second save in
as many opportunities.

No. 2 doubles secures lone victory
Aggies dominate matchs, coach still positive about remaining season
BY RUSTIN DODD
It didnt feel like this team had
just lost its eighth-straight match.
Moments after Kansas fell 7-0 to
Texas A&M to fall to 4-16 and 2-9
in the Big 12 Conference, the team
broke the post-game huddle with
an overly enthusiastic Jayhawks.
It wasnt just the players, coach
Amy Hall-Holt gave her players a
thumbs up for effort after playing
the No. 21st ranked team in the
country.
A&M is ranked 21st in the
nation, and we were out there and
we competed with them today,
Hall-Holt said. Its been a trying
year, but ending it today the way we
did, I couldnt be happier.
Kansas secured its lone victory
against Texas A&M with a victory
from junior Lauren Hommell and
freshman Kunigunda Dorn at the
No. 2 doubles spot. With newfound
confidence Hommell and Dorn
picked up an 8-7 victory in a close
tiebreaker.
Were clicking now, Hommell
said, We won a couple matches,
and we just had nothing to lose
today.
The Jayhawks were unable to gain
a point from doubles when both the
No. 1 and No. 3 doubles duos were
defeated. Junior Elizaveta Avdeeva
and sophomore Edina Horvath fell
8-4 at the No. 1 spot, and junior
Stephanie Smith and sophomore
Yuliana Svistun lost 8-4.
Down 1-0 going into the sin-
gles portion of the match, Kansas
watched as Texas A&M turned up
the intensity and won six singles
matches in a row. Horvath and
Smith both lost hard-fought three-
set matches at No. 2 and No. 6 sin-
gles respectively. Horvath dropped
the first set 6-2, but fought back to
even the match with a 6-2 victory
in the second set. Horvath ran out
of gas in the decisive third set, fall-
ing 6-4.
In the third set I played hard,
Horvath said. But I felt I was a
little bit tired, and I just started to
miss a little bit.
The closest match of the day
came in the last one, with Stephanie
Smith falling in a 3rd set tie break-
er. In a back and forth tie breaker,
Smith fell just short falling 11-9 in
the tie breaker after splitting the
first two sets.
In the other singles matches,
Svistun had a rare loss at No. 5 sin-
gles, dropping her Big 12 record to
9-3. Avdeeva, Dorn and Hommell
all fell in straight sets at No. 1, No.
3 and No. 4 respectively.
Despite the lopsided 7-0 score,
Hall-Holt expressed delight in
the fresh start the team has in
Thursdays Big 12 Championships.
I told all the girls that if we take
this energy level in to the Big 12
Championships, we can do some
damage, she said.

Cardinals win high-scoring game
BY RICK gANO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO Albert Pujols
hit a three-run homer in the 10th
inning, Scott Rolen had a career-
best five hits and the St. Louis
Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs
12-9 Sunday after blowing a two-
run lead in the ninth.
Preston Wilson singled to start
the 10th against Ryan Dempster
(0-1). One out later, David Eckstein
singled off Aramis Ramirezs glove
at third. Pujols then a drove a long
homer to center field, his fifth of
the season.
The Cubs tied the score in the
ninth on Mark DeRosas two-out,
two-run bloop single off closer
Jason Isringhausen (1-0). It was
Isringhausens first blown save in
five chances.
Michael Barrett singled and,
two outs later, pinch-hitter Alfonso
Soriano who had missed five
straight games with a strained ham-
string hit a double past third on
an 0-2 pitch.
DeRosas fly ball down the right-
field line fell beyond the reach of
second baseman Aaron Miles and
in front of right fielder Preston
Wilson for a two-run single.
Tyler Johnson and Russ Springer
combined to pitch a hitless 10th for
St. Louis.
Rolens two-run triple in the
ninth gave the Cardinals a 9-7 lead.
Rolen finished 5-for-6.
Ramirezs three-run homer off
St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright
tied the score at 7 in the sixth.
On a 75-degree day with the
wind blowing out at 18 mph, it was
a home run hitters delight.
Duncan hit a two-run shot in
the fifth off Wade Miller, giving
St. Louis a 6-4 lead. One out later,
Rolen hit to left-center, his second
homer of the season.
Adam Kennedy, batting .196
with just two RBIs entering play, hit
a two-out, two-run double on a 3-2
pitch in the fourth to tie it at 4.
Barrett hit a two-run drive to
center that made it 4-2 Chicago in
the third.
Jim Edmonds first homer of
the season, a two-run shot in the
second, tied it at 2 and matched
Edmonds RBI total coming into
the game.
The KU mens club rugby team
defeated Northwest Missouri
State University 28-10 in its fnal
home match of the season on
Saturday at the Westwick Rugby
Complex south of Lawrence.
The team scored tries on sev-
eral long scrambles as well as a
maul in which senior Zach Nelson
was stopped momentarily until
his teammates smashed into the
mob of tacklers and pushed him
into the try zone.
Sophomore jumper Adam
Lauridsen was injured during
the match, forcing several of
the Jayhawks to play out of
position.
This was the frst match-up
in the history of the two club
teams. Northwest Missouri
States team was not formed
until recently.
We matched up evenly in size,
but it just came down to us being
the more experienced team,
Lauridsen said.

one of which walked in Morrison for
Kansas third run of the game. Servais
chipped in again with an RBI ground-
out to give him two on the day.
While Kansas continued to build
its lead, Texas Tech squandered away
chances to close the gap. By the end of
the sixth, the Jayhawks had pushed the
score to 4-1, their largest lead in their
last seven games. Meanwhile, after
Richburgs home run, the Red Raiders
left 10 runners on base.
The big thing about being a head
coach, youve got to be positive, Price
said. Theres going to be peaks and
valleys in this game, and if you panic
the pressure just rises. Youve got to
keep with them.
The Jayhawk bats plowed forward,
scoring twice in the seventh and
another pair in the ninth.
A trio of singles from senior cen-
ter fielder Kyle Murphy, Allman and
sophomore catcher Buck Afenir
brought yet another Texas Tech pitch-
ing change and two more runs for the
visiting team.
Choosing to ride it out, Red Raider
reliever Brian Cloud remained in the
game for its duration, allowing the two
ninth inning runs. Murphy led off the
ninth with his third consecutive hit of
the afternoon before freshman third
baseman Robby Price reached on a
mistake by left fielder Doug Thennis.
Both players scored on RBI hits
from Allman and Afenir to cap off
the Jayhawks eight-run day. Despite
outscoring the Red Raiders 10-7 on
the weekend, the Jayhawks 8-1 blow-
out on Sunday was the only victory
they brought home. Although they
lost the series, the Sunday victory was
immensely important. Entering the
weekend, Texas Tech was ranked sec-
ond to last, with Kansas sitting just
below. Avoiding the weekend sweep,
the Jayhawks are now keeping their
Big 12 Tournament hopes alive.
I think it saved our season today,
Price said. When you have your back
to the wall you have to come up with a
plus performance, and that was one of
our best today.

Bauer can be contacted at abau-

home runs to lead off the second
and fourth innings, sending both
home runs over the left-field wall.
On defense, all three pitchers
saw some action in the game and
secured the victory.
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys
(15-10) started for the Jayhawks
and threw four innings, allowing
three hits and walking two.
She struck out six batters, five of
them swinging on the third strike.
Humphreys gave up a home run
in the bottom of the second inning
and showed signs of fatigue from
Saturdays game where she threw
the complete game.
Freshman pitcher Sarah Vertelka
came in to relieve but struggled,
allowing two runs on four hits in
her two innings of work.
She was replaced by sophomore
pitcher Valerie George who got her
third save of the season, retiring
the last three batters of the game.
The weekend victories snapped the
Jayhawks five-game losing streak.
Up next for Kansas is a meet-
ing at Nebraska on Wednesday, fol-
lowed by a double-header match-
up against Creighton on Thursday.

The Jayhawks role players perfor-
mances have been lost in the midst
of Kansas subpar season.
Ive tried to identify what the
strengths of those players are and
put them in the situations where
they can succeed, Kansas coach
Ritch Price said. In the five years
Ive been here, its been the most
productive our bench has been.
In its series with Texas Tech (23-17,
7-10) alone, Kansas (20-25, 6-12) had
a handful of bench players step up in
place of the teams everyday starters.
On Sunday, junior Casey Larson
got his first start at first base because
health issues kept sophomore first
baseman Preston Land from making
the trip. Larson went 1-for-2 with an
RBI in Kansas three-run sixth that
helped salvage the series.
On Saturday, junior infielder Matt
Berner was thrown into the start-
ing lineup because junior shortstop
Erik Morrison was ejected following
Fridays game and couldnt play in
game two. Berner went 1-for-3 with
a double and scored Kansas only
run of the game.
But performances such as these
are nothing new for the Jayhawks.
Players like sophomore Nick
Faunce and junior Eric Snowden
havent played much this season,
with only one start between them,
but when Price has called their num-
bers, Snowden and Faunce have been
invaluable.
Nick Faunce is one of the best
teammates and role players Ive had
in the five years Ive been here. He
knows what his roles are, hes into
the game the whole time and hes
not complaining about not getting to
start, Price said. Eric barely played
his first three years and now hes been
pinch hitting for us at crucial times.
Faunce has predominantly been a
pinch runner and defensive special-
ist for Kansas, but one of the high-
lights of his season came in the final
game of the Missouri series.
After junior right fielder Brock
Simpson failed to run out an infield
pop-up in the first inning, Price
replaced him with Faunce.
It was good that it was that early
in the game because I was still warm
from the warm-ups and I still had
my heart rate going, Faunce said.
Faunce went 1-for-4 in the game
and his single in the fifth drove in
two of Kansas nine runs.
Snowden, on the other hand,
has been Kansas top pinch hitter
a role that suits him just fine. Hes
excelled, batting .370 this season
with a home run and seven RBI.
I like getting into the game
in pressure situations. Its a rush,
Snowden said.
In the first game of a double
header with Northern Colorado,
Snowden had a Roy Hobbs moment,
hitting a game-winning home run in
the sixth at Prices request.
Coach Price told me to get in the
game and put one up in the air for
him, and I just put a good swing on
a ball and put it out, Snowden said.
Theres no better feeling than to
come into the game as a pinch hitter
and get the job done.
With fewer and fewer games left
to qualify for the Big 12 Tournament,
Kansas will depend on these role
players to reach postseason play.
They say your teams real-
ly defined by your pinch hitters,
Faunce said. If theyre successful,
your team can have a better oppor-
tunity to win.

Sophomores ShaRay Butler and
Victoria Howard took the field at
the Kansas Relays and won the 400-
meter hurdles and 100-meter dash,
respectively, needing only the prop-
er weather to do so.
Butler, like most of the competi-
tors, appreciated the opportunity to
run in nice conditions after weeks of
cold and rain.
I felt that last week I didnt run
very well it was cold, Butler said
in a press release. Now that the
weather is nice, I felt like I could
come out and run a nice race.
Butler, who also won her prelim-
inary heat, captured the gold with a
regional-qualifying and personal-
record time of 59.54 seconds.
Howard used a finishing kick to
score a decisive victory in the 100.
She ran a personal-record time of
11.58, winning by 0.12 seconds.
My coach and I have been
working on my technique, Howard
said in a press
release. Ive
been battling
through some
injuries, but I
gave it my all
today and exe-
cuted my race.
Junior Ashley
Brown also
looked good on
Saturday, com-
peting in the
invitational 100-
meter and 400-
meter hurdles.
Brown narrowly missed setting
a Kansas record in the 100-meter
hurdles, coming in at a personal-
best time of 13.33 for sixth place.
Brown also improved her regional-
qualifying time in the 400-meter
hurdles, finish-
ing in a fourth-
place time of
58.48.

Eric Babb wins long jump
Twelve athletes take home top-ten fnishes in feld events
BY TAYLOR BERN
In front of a crowd filled with
friends and world-class athletes alike,
senior Eric Babb stunned the field,
the crowd and himself with a per-
sonal record leap of 25-09 feet to win
the long jump.
Babb out-dueled 2006 Kansas
Relays triple jump champion Wilbert
Walker of Lincoln University for first
place.
I felt good, Babb said in a press
release. I had all my family here
today so it was a great accomplish-
ment for me.
Babb increased his distance on
every attempt, eventually settling on
his winning distance. Walker, the top
seed entering the event, finished at
25-05 and Bermudas Tyrone Smith
came in third at 25-03.
Babb, a 2006 first-team Academic
All-Big 12 Conference, surprised
himself with his early success.
It was pretty crazy to see my
winning mark, Babb said. I wasnt
expecting my first jump in the finals
to do so well. When I saw that mark,
I knew I was going to be able to jump
well today.
Field Notes:
n Senior Abby Emsick finished
second in the discus with a 170-05
throw. Emsicks toss was one foot
and five inches short of winner Dace
Ruskule of Nebraska. Emsick is the
school-record holder in the discus.
n Junior Kate
Sultanova fin-
ished third in
the pole vault,
clearing a height
of 13-07. Junior
Libby Harmon
tied for sixth at
12-05 and senior
Laura Gjerde
and freshman
Brittany Parker
tied for eighth at
the same height.
All are regional qualifiers.
n In the mens pole vault, freshman
Jordan Scott finished with a fourth-
place height of 16-06. Freshman
Kirk Cooper came in eighth with
the same height, a regional quali-
fying height for both. Sophomore
Ryan Hays cleared 16-00 to tie for
ninth.
n Junior Crystal Manning finished
fifth in the invitational long jump
with her leap of 19-10. Manning is
the school-record holder in the triple
jump.
n Former Kansas All-Americans Scott
Russell and Sheldon Battle finished
first and second
in their respective
events. Russell, a
two-time NCAA
champion, easily
won the javelin
throw with a toss
of 264-08, nearly
40 feet better than
second place.
Battle threw for
63-10 to finish
second in the shot
put.

The lack of big name athletes in this
years Gold Zone competition resulted
in a lack of fans in the stands.
Nothing, however, could stop
Bershawn Batman Jackson from
putting on a show and running the
fastest time in the world this year in
the 400-meter hurdles.
Jackson came in at 48.75 seconds,
the fastest time this year by more
than a second. The victory makes
him a three-time defending Kansas
Relays champion.
There are a lot more good things
to come, Jackson said. Every ath-
lete has expectations for their first
race of the season. You train so hard
in the fall, and your first race often
determines how your season will
turn out. I am happy with the time.
Jackson, the Nike team member, also
described himself as an 88 out of 100
right now and promised that he would
reach 100 by August for the 2007 World
Championships in Osaka, Japan.
In the 1,500 meters, Mike
Teagankamp led wire-to-wire, beat-
ing out Kansas junior Colby Wissel
for the gold with a time of 3:43.01.
This is the first time Ive run
back in the Kansas City area since
I was in college, so it has been six
years now, Teagankamp said. Its
nice to get close to my hometown
(Lees Summit) and go out and give
the crowd some excitement. It was a
really good time.
Teagankamps time translates to
a four-minute mile, but the win-
ner wishes he could just run a mile
instead of the 1,500.
I think the overall crowd can
relate better to a mile, Tegankamp
said. It is easier for them to under-
stand a four-minute mile than it is
for a conversion to a 1,500 (meter).
I think it is something that would
have been nice, maybe next year.
In the invitational pole vault, Jeff
Hartwig, the oldest competitor in
the field, cleared 18-09 feet to win
the event. At the beginning of the
season Hartwig announced that it
would be his last, but his early suc-
cess has made that decision a bit
more difficult.
In one of the most exciting races
Saturday, Nichole Denby edged out
2004 Olympic Gold medalist Joanna
Hayes by 0.06 seconds to win the
100-meter hurdles. Denbys time was
12.72 seconds.
