Oread inn
BY RUSTIN DODD

A young man darted across the street at
the corner of 14th and Tennessee streets at
approximately 11:45 p.m. on Saturday. With
a Dont Walk Sign flashing, the man headed
for the SafeBus parked on the street corner.
The man was a mere five minute walk
from the corner of 13th and Kentucky streets
the intersection
where former University
of Kansas student Ryan
Kanost was killed in a
hit-and-run accident
while crossing the street
on Sept. 23, 2006. On
Monday, Josh Walton
was convicted of two
misdemeanors: vehicu-
lar homicide and leaving
the scene of an injury
accident. Hell face up to
two years in a county jail
sentence and up to a $5,000 fine.
Nearly 18 months later, pedestrian safety
in the near-campus Oread Neighborhood,
commonly know to students as the student
ghetto, is still a concern among University
students. The neighborhood covers the area
from Ninth and 17th streets to Missouri and
Massachusetts streets, excluding campus.
Three popular bars The Wheel, The Hawk
and The Bull increase the heavy pedestrian
traffic, and the neighborhood contains mul-
tiple one-way streets.
It is unsafe because drunk people, in gener-
al, will walk across the street, and not pay atten-
tion, Christine Peterson, Topeka junior, said.
Sergeant Paul Fellers, a Lawrence Police
Department spokesperson, said the number
of officers on duty depends on the number of
officers available.
While 14th and Ohio is a popular area,
officers are responsible for the entire city
of Lawrence. Occasionally when manpower
allows, specialized enforcement is used to
address certain issues, Fellers said.
According to crime statistics from the
Lawrence Police Departments Web site, the
Oread Neighborhood experienced fewer cases
of DUI arrests during the first few months of
2007, compared with 2006. In 2006, 27 DUI
arrests were made in Neighborhood Area
10B the location of the Wheel, the Hawk
and The Bull, as well as Kanosts death.
Through June of
2007, only seven DUI
arrest had been made.
Statistics from July to
December 2007 are not
currently available on
the Web site.
The police department
continues to focus as many
resources as possible to
deter and arrest impaired
drivers, Fellers said. The
Police Department appre-
ciates and will respond to
reports from the public regarding individuals
driving under the influence.
Nazar Kanchwala, Chicago freshman, and
DeMario Luttrell, Des Moines, Iowa, fresh-
man, stood on the corner of 14th and Ohio
streets Saturday. I feel like when youre
in a group of people its safer than when
youre alone, Kanchwala said about walk-
ing around the neighborhood at night. I
wouldnt walk around alone, but I would
walk around in a group.
Luttrell said the number of drunk students
leaving the area bars can lead to problems.
If people are stumbling out into the streets
and stuff, it can be dangerous, Luttrell said.
The heavy pedestrian traffic in the Oread
Neighborhood can cause trouble for cars as
well. Many greek organizations have designated
drivers programs to prevent drunk driving. The
Gamma Phi Beta sorority designates members
for SADD Sisters Against Drunk Driving
duty on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Ashley Blanchat, Wichita sophomore, said
shes done SADD duty about five times.
It gets stressful, Blanchat said. People
tend to forget there are cars that are driving
along those streets, too.
With three bars in a one block radius,
Blanchat said dropping people off and pick-
ing people up can be a headache.
Theres no safe place to drop people off,
Blanchat said. People get annoyed when you
stop, and they try to go around you as people
are getting out of your car.
Peterson said some of the safety responsi-
bilities fell to the pedestrians.
People dont pay attention, they just sort
of glance for cars, Peterson said. But people
dont know how fast cars are coming. If peo-
ple would follow the crosswalk itd be safe.

The KU Endowment Association
could be forced to spend more of its
funds. A proposed federal mandate that
would tax universities endowments if
the universities did not spend more than
5 percent of the funds has the University
worried.
Student Senate will discuss a bill
tonight to open their Student Advertising
Program to student organizations with
selective membership.
Only organizations open to all stu-
dents can use the program right now. If
passed, the groups with selective mem-

Lawrence city commissioners brought the
Oread Inn one step closer to reality last
night.
Commissioners voted unanimously to put
together a plan to use the increase in tax
revenue new money the hotel brings to
the city to reimburse some of the esti-
mated $11 million that project developers
are required to invest into public improve-
ments.
In order for the Oread Inn to go up at the
north entrance of campus, the project devel-
opers, led by the Gene Fritzel Construction
Company, must invest a projected $5 million
into basic improvements of the area and $6
million into a new underground parking
garage.
Developers agreed to both of these as
long as the city would reimburse $5 to $7.1
million of the project using the increase in
tax revenue the hotel is expected to bring
to the city.
Matthew Gough, an attorney represent-
ing the Oread projects interests, said the
specifics of the reimbursement plan would
be decided at a future meeting.
The only thing thats official tonight is
that the city has adopted an ordinance to
form the tax incremental financing of the
project, Gough said.
Without the commissions decision to
look into some sort of reimbursement plan,
project developers wouldnt be able to afford
the $37 million project, and the Oread Inn
would have become a dead issue, said David
Longhurst, a representative of the develop-
ment company.
All five commissioners also voted to
rezone the area for planned commercial
development and voted in favor of the demo-
lition of the structures located at 1140, 1142
and 1144 on Indiana Street and 618, 619 and
620 on West 12th Street.
While the meeting included minor dis-
cussions about the number of floors the
hotel should be allowed to have, no devel-
opment plans for the project were officially
approved.
City manager Dave Corliss said the public
would get a chance to comment on the offi-
cial redevelopment plan in a future meeting.
The main topic was the tax incremental
financing of the project.
Dissenters outnumbered
supporters at the
meeting as some
Lawrence resi-
dents voiced
c o n c e r n
about how
the project
would be
financed.
Allen Ford,
professor of business at the
University of Kansas, said
he was concerned that
people associated with the
Oread project were assum-
ing numbers they couldnt predict.
One of the biggest assumptions is that
this project will experience a 1 percent
growth every year, Ford said. I dont think
anyone would make an investment in a res-
taurant, hotel or anything that assumes that
it will have a 1 percent
growth every year.
Most of the
Lawrence residents
who voiced
s u p p o r t
for the
propos-
al, such
as Kirk
Deplore,
p oi nt e d
to the 120
jobs that
people associated with the project said the
Oread hotel would offer.
I believe this to be a valuable project that
creates a very healthy payroll, said Deplore.
And what the heck, its going to enhance the
neighborhood for free.

Writers union votes,
reaches deal to end strike
LOS ANGELES Striking Hol-
lywood writers are going back to
work.
The Writers Guild of America
said its members voted Tuesday to
end their devastating, three-month
strike that brought the entertain-
ment industry to a standstill.
Writers will go back to work
Wednesday after voting in Beverly
Hills and New York.
At the end of the day, every-
body won. It was a fair deal and
one that the companies can live
with, and it recognizes the large
contribution that writers have
made to the industry, said Leslie
Moonves, chief executive ofcer of
CBS Corp.
The strikes end would allow
many hit series to return this spring
for whats left of the current sea-
son, airing anywhere from four to
seven new episodes.
It will be all hands on deck for
the writing staf, said Chris Mundy,
co-executive producer of CBS
drama Criminal Minds. He hopes
to get a couple of scripts in the
pipeline right away, with about
seven episodes airing by the end
of May.
The combined New York-Beverly
Hills count was overwhelmingly
in favor of ending the strike: 3,492
voted yes, with only 283 voting to
stay of the job.
The unions board approved a
deal Sunday giving writers a share
of the growing revenue from pro-
grams ofered on the internet and
other new media.

Obama moves past Clinton
for frst time in race
WASHINGTON Barack Obama
powered past Hillary Rodham
Clinton in the race for Democratic
convention delegates Tuesday,
scoring outsized primary victo-
ries in Maryland, Virginia and the
District of Columbia on a night of
triumph.
Tonight were on our way, he
told cheering supporters in Madi-
son, Wis. But we know how much
further we have to go on, Obama
added, celebrating eight straight
victories over Clinton, the former
frst lady now struggling in a race
she once commanded.
The Associated Press count of
delegates showed Obama with
1,186. Clinton had 1,181, falling
behind for the frst time since the
campaign began. Neither was
close to the 2,025 needed to win
the nomination.
His victories were by large mar-
gins he was gaining about 75
percent of the vote in the nations
capital and about two-thirds in
Virginia.
In all, there were 168 Democrat-
ic delegates at stake in primaries
in those states and the District of
Columbia.
Obama moved past Clinton in
the delegate chase on the basis of
Tuesdays primaries and newly re-
leased results from last Saturdays
Washington caucuses. Delegates
still to be allocated from his new
victories were certain to add to his
lead.
McCain adds to delegate
total with winning streak
WASHINGTON Republican
front-runner John McCain won all
three GOP primaries Tuesday, in
Maryland, Virginia and the District
of Columbia, adding to his insur-
mountable lead in delegates for
the Republican nomination.
We know where either of their
candidates will lead this country,
and we dare not let them, he said
of the Democrats. They will paint
a picture of the world in which
Americas mistakes are a greater
threat to our security than the
malevolent intentions of an enemy
that despises us and our ideals.
McCains victory in Virginia was a
relatively close one, the result of an
outpouring of religious conserva-
tives who backed former Arkansas
Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Four in 10 Republican vot-
ers said they were born again or
evangelical Christians twice as
many as called themselves mem-
bers of the religious right in 2000
and nearly 70 percent of them
supported Huckabee, an ordained
Baptist minister.
In a twist, Huckabee was run-
ning slightly ahead of McCain
among independents, who cast
about a ffth of the Republican
votes there.
There were 113 delegates at
stake in the three GOP races.
The AP count showed McCain
with 789 delegates. Former Mas-
sachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who
dropped out of the race last week,
had 288. Huckabee had 241 and
Texas Rep. Ron Paul had 14.

Student Senate will vote tonight
on a bill that would allow student
groups with selective membership to
advertise in the Senate space in The
University Daily Kansan.
The Student Advertising Program
buys a half-page of advertising
space in The Kansan every Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday. Currently,
only student groups with open mem-
bership can use the free advertis-
ing space to promote events. The
bill would allow student groups that
require application or have selective
membership, such as greek organiza-
tions, performing arts organizations
and scholarship halls, to advertise
events that would be open to all
students.
Leslie Rhoton, Lawrence junior
and president of the Panhellenic
Association, said that community
service was a main goal for greek
organizations. She said chapters
sometimes faced problems find-
ing the money for advertising their
events.
Theres this view that Panhellenic
has an expendable fund of money to
fund projects, Rhoton said.
She said the advertising space
would allow organizations to pro-
mote events without a charge, which
would help with the budget of their
projects.
Greek organizations put on many
philanthropic events throughout the
year, such as hold pancake break-
fasts, golf tournaments and walks
to support various charities, Rhoton
said.
Alex Rock, Lawrence junior and
Interfraternity Council president,
said that not allowing groups with
selective membership to advertise
events in this space didnt make
sense. He said the groups were often
looking for a way to advertise a phil-
anthropic cause.
It cuts out of overhead that we
would otherwise be able to donate to
the organizations, Rock said.
He said some of the advertising
space was going unused right now.
He said advertising these events
would be another way for people on
campus to get involved.
Emily Williams, Overland
Park senior and the Panhellenic
Association senator, said that having
student advertising in The Kansan
was a great resource and without the
space it was hard to market a pro-
gram to the entire campus.
These are good programs that
are put on to benefit the commu-
nity, Williams said.
Vaishali Gala is a Hays junior and
an officer in AIESEC, a group that
works to eliminate cultural stereo-
types and has selective membership.
The group facilitates internships in
the U.S. for foreign students and also
sends local students overseas. She
said the group didnt have enough
money to buy regular advertising
space.
A lot of people dont know what
AIESEC is, Gala said. Advertising
would really get the word out.
Adam McGonigle, Wichita sopho-
more and writer of the bill, expects it
to do well in Student Senate tonight.
He said the issue has come up mul-
tiple times in Senate and failed each
time, but that organizations have
made it known that they want to be
able to use the space.
When the bill was discussed last
week in the finance committee,
Senators voted to add an amend-
ment that would give priority with
advertising space to student organi-
zations with open membership.
I think theres some concern
that organizations that dont require
membership would get pushed
aside, Rock said.

A new class sponsored by
Ecumenical Christian Ministries,
1204 Oread Ave., will teach stu-
dents how to be socially responsi-
ble with their money. The financial
management class aims to promote
a holistic view of personal finances.
It will cover a variety of topics,
including how to balance a check-
book, manage credit cards, invest
in green and nonmilitary funds
and manage student loans.
Haley Masterson, Manhattan
sophomore, serves on the ECM
Student Leadership Team and is
coordinating the class.
Financial management is such
an important thing for people
to know and not something that
should be minimized. The focus
of the class will be learning how
to deal with money in a diverse
world, Masterson said.
The class begins Monday, March
1, and will meet four times in
March. ECM has recruited fac-
ulty and representatives from local
banks and businesses to give the
weekly lectures.
The class is free and there is no
deadline to register.
Masterson said she expected a
large number of students to reg-
ister, but also hoped to see faces
from the local community.
Theres absolutely no obliga-
tion, Masterson said. If you see
[a session] thats interesting, just
showing up is awesome. Well have
a lot of time for questions and
discussion.
After each speaker, the class will
break down into confidential five-
person groups to discuss the topic
in relation to their own lives.
Thad Holcombe, campus pas-
tor at ECM, said that the focus of
the class would be saving for the
public good. Holcombe said he
wanted to provide a safe place for
people to talk about their lives and
careers, but more importantly their
vocation.
Vocation is knowing how
you can use your deepest joys to
meet the worlds greatest hurts,
Holcombe said.

Nearly 15,000 high school
students will be named National
Merit Finalists before the end of
February. It is Gail Sherrons job
to persuade them to come to the
University of Kansas.
Sherron, associate director of
the KU Office of Admissions and
Scholarships, is in charge of high-
ability recruitment, which includes
bringing National Merit Scholars to
the University. The OAS will con-
tinue to court students throughout
the spring through weekly corre-
spondence and campus visits.
Were keeping KU in the fore-
front of their minds, Sherron said.
We are the premier institution for
the state.
The OASs
h a n d s - o n
approach to
r e c r ui t me nt
has acceler-
ated in the past
four years. The
Uni ve r s i t y s
merit scholar
r e c r ui t me nt
peaked five years ago, when 102
scholars joined the class of 2006.
This year, there are 35 scholars.
Sherron said a change in the schol-
arship prize was responsible for the
decrease in recruitment.
Before 2003, scholars were
awarded the equivalent of 30
credit hours and room and board
in a scholarship hall. Now they
are awarded a flat scholarship of
$10,000 per year for four years.
Kelly Jenkins, Columbus, Ohio,
junior and merit scholar, has had
to find a campus job to supplement
her scholarship prize. She said that
this causes a strain on her grade
point average, which must remain
at 3.25 or higher to retain her
scholarship.
I think that scholarships
should be raised equivalently to
the amount that tuition is raised,
Jenkins said.
Jenkins received better schol-
arship offers at Michigan State
University and Ohio State
University, but declined because
she wanted to go to school away
from home and the University had
her major of choice: architectural
engineering.
Sherron said that budgetary
concerns prevented the scholar-
ship from increasing, and that OAS
relied on the Kansas University
Endowment Association for funds.
Theyre the parent, and theyre
giving us an allowance, Sherron
said.
Sherron said that the University
had more intangible benefits to stu-
dents, other than money, although
she said that funding was a legiti-
mate concern.
Theres a sense of tradition here,
whether its
sports or liv-
ing in Corbin
because your
mother and
grandmother
lived there,
Sherron said.
Most stu-
dents in con-
sideration for
the National Merit Scholarships
wont make formal decisions until
April, Sherron said. Until then,
OAS plans on contacting potential
recruits once a week by sending
them personalized letters and trin-
kets such as pens, highlighters and
magnets.
A scholars weekend is planned
for March. The OAS and Honors
Program will offer backstage visits
to the Spencer Museum of Art
and the Lied Center to prospective
recruits. Sherron said that even
though the University maintained
contact with students, there was
no pressure to make a decision
before April.
Were not going to push a stu-
dent to make a decision, Sherron
said. When students make col-
lege decisions, its for a variety of
reasons.

If two senators have their way,
the University of Kansas will have
to start spending five percent of its
endowment. The senators hope the
mandate would encourage universi-
ties to decrease tuition and spend
more of their endowed funds on
financial assistance for students. But
University officials said such a man-
date is unnecessary and it ultimately
would not benefit students.
From our perspective, a federal
regulation on the management of
private endowments and mandat-
ing polices on what private donors
contribute and they entrust to the
Endowment Association, who they
expect to carry out their wishes,
would be an unprecedented and
unnecessary intrusion, said Dale
Seuferling, president of the KU
Endowment Association.
Last fall, a rumor began circulat-
ing among university administrators
and newspapers that a new federal
bill would force universities that
had more than $500 million in their
endowments to use 5 percent of
those funds each year. If a univer-
sity refused, the federal government
would begin taxing those funds.
Last month, U.S. Senators Max
Baucus (D-Mont.) and Charles
Grassley (R-Iowa) requested infor-
mation about it from the University
about KU Endowment Association
and its spending patterns. Although
a bill has not yet been created, the
University is worried.
Seuferling said he understood the
governments concerns about the ris-
ing cost of tuition, but he said each
university would be a better judge
of how to use its endowed funds.
He also said funding scholarships
was already KU Endowments top
priority.
Seuferling said such a policy
would be aimed at schools such as
Harvard, which have large endow-
ments but werent spending those
funds on increasing financial aid
for students. He said he thought
the policy unintentionally included
schools like the University, which
has a $1.2 billion endowment and
has the 60th largest endowment
among all universities and the 20th
largest among public universities.
The University was one of 136 uni-
versities that received information
requests.
Seuferling said the association
used to spend 5 percent of its
funds, but that over the last four
years it decreased the amount to
4.6 percent because of the dramatic
change in the market. Seuferling
said a mandated five percent pay-
out could be hazardous to the
University in the future and if so, it
would be a hassle to get the policy
changed.
Seuferling also said the con-
gressmen did not understand the
nature of endowed funds. He said
donors, not the University, decided
what specific programs and scholar-
ships they wanted to support, so it is
sometimes hard for the association
to increase the amount of funding to
a certain area.
Keith Yehle, director of federal
relations at the University, said the
Universitys administrative staff,
including the Chancellor, Robert
Hemenway, and the Provost, Richard
Lariviere, traveled to Washington
D.C. last week to discuss issues like
this one with the senators and rep-
resentatives from Kansas. He said
he thought the Universitys message
was well-received.
U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.)
said he understood the Universitys
concerns, but there was plenty of
time to discuss the issue because
the bill is just in the research stage.
He said he was unsure when the bill
would be finished.
Ive told people here sometimes
congress identifies a very serious
problem and in trying to fix it they
overact, Moore said. I dont think
the have they expertise to be direct-
ing universities how to use their
endowment funds. You pull one way
and you can end up going too far
sometimes.
Edited by Madeline Hyden
The University has a $1.2 billion
endowment and has the 60th
largest endowment among all
universities and the 20 largest
among public universities.
Only 33 percent of the Uni-
versitys budget is funded by
the state and tuition, which
means about 66 percent of the
Universitys budget is funded by
private gifts.
This year, KU Endowment is
providing approximately $26
million for scholarships, fellow-
ships and awards, which is a 10.6
percent increase from last year.
More than 5,400 students
receive support from KU Endow-
ment. More than 80 profes-
sorships are supported by KU
Endowment, totaling more than
$20 million for faculty support.

Chancellor Robert Hemenway traveled to Washington, D.C., last week to discuss the possibility of a bill that would require universities to put 5
percent of their endowments toward lowering tuition and increasing fnancial assistance. Members of the KU Endowment Association didnt think the bill
would be benefcial for the University because endowment donors were specifc about where they wanted their donation to be spent.

Senators consider bill to lower tuition
I think that scholarships should
be raised equivalently to the
amount that tuition is raised.

I was amongst the mass crowds
that drove, biked, and sloshed their
way through the snow to last weeks
Democratic Caucus. It was held
in a barn at the Douglas County
Fairgrounds, a location that certain-
ly lends itself to the sinking feeling
of voter disenfranchisement. Cows
were feasibly standing there hours
earlier, herded this way and that.
Now there were only Hillary cows
and Obama cows, and a gaggle of
Edwards/Kucinich/Gravel sheep.
Thats when I knew I needed to save
America.
Today, Im starting a new cam-
paign, a campaign that addresses
the concerns of the median KU stu-
dent and the tie that binds us all
partying. How come candidates
never devote meaningful time to this
issue? For instance, which drinking
game does Barack Obama endorse?
Whats Hillarys favorite dive bar in
Brooklyn?
No, despite the clamors of the
now-huddling masses, I do not plan
to run for president on this resilient
platformyet. Id like to unleash
a plan that will live on as a ster-
ling commemoration of our college
years.
Corey Delaney. Perhaps you
have heard of him. For the uniniti-
ated, Corey Delaney was the young
Australian who threw a party at his
parents house while they were on
holiday. Nothing special, right?
Wrong. That party grew into a
500-person bonanza, a gathering
so rowdy that several police cars
were damaged and local authori-
ties sent in the dog squad. If the
Australian media had merely looked
the other way, and stifled any rogue
thoughts of hey, we should put this
kid on TV! its entirely likely that we
wouldve never heard much of young
Corey. But the legend of Corey was
not meant to stop there.
Corey appeared on the national
news program in which an affable,
attractive news anchor did her best
to berate our young hero. On the
broadcast, Corey wears a gaudy flat-
billed baseball cap, an unzipped fur-
lined jacket exposing his bare chest
and pierced nipple, and canary sun-
glasses so large that even the most
audacious sorority girl would blush
at the thought of donning them. The
anchor interrogates him, and Corey
rattles off a series of outstanding
responses. The party? Not his fault,
as it could have been anybody out
in the street. Is he sorry? (hesitant
pause)yeah. Yeah. Could you
take your sunglasses off? NoIll
keep these on. Why not? Because
theyre famous.
It all makes for the most furiously
brilliant three minutes on YouTube,
even better than the dog humping
the Pikachu doll.
KU students, our country finds
itself mired a severe Corey drought.
Once, long ago, we had it good. Not
only did we have the crush-worthy
Corey Haim, but we had the dreamy
Corey Feldman, as well. These two
screen stalwarts stole our collective
hearts, but it couldnt go on forever.
Now, a new Corey emerges like a
phoenix from the ash of the old
Coreys flamed-out careers. And he
couldnt have come at a better time.
Thanks to the notoriety garnered
from his TV appearance, party pro-
moters reached out to Corey, invit-
ing him to build hype for their par-
ties while paying him heftily for his
efforts. In this prime capitalization
of seemingly ephemeral fame, Corey
did what we Jayhawks now must.
We will immediately draw up plans
for an epic party, one that we will
tell our children about in last-ditch
efforts to sound and feel hip again,
a party so splendid and effusive in
design that it will make all the par-
ties in the movies look like trite crap,
and invite Mr. Delaney to curate it.
I write in this space today to
ignite you, students. Ive only
begun to get the ball rolling here,
but only YOU can make this party
a reality. Book Abe and Jakes, or,
if possible, the moon (the ultimate
party venue!). Call every DJ in the
Yellow Pages. Spend three straight
days at Kinkos photocopying fly-
ers. Carve wooden Corey sculp-
tures out of your study desks. Sell
your textbooks, drop your classes
and collect the tuition refunds.
Afford no risks in making this
party a first-class success.
The result will not be a mere
party, but a work of art, some-
thing that will transcend these
meager political dog-and-pony
shows and petty day-to-day rou-
tines that reign over our lives.
We are left to do the only thing
that is logical; invite a 16-year-old
Aussie with a churlish attitude to
promote a party so triumphantly
excessive that even Paris Hilton
would have the good sense not to
attend.
We need to unite and create the
purest manifestation of democ-
racy this young planet will ever
see.
Get to work, and realize the
liberty that our founding fathers
could only dream of.

Its the time of the year, when
on Friday nights, Catholics smell
like fish. Its Lent. I always won-
dered where Lent came from, how
it naturally occurs in ones belly
button. But these questions are for
scholars, and I dont know any, so
theyll be left to the wind.
Lent started on Ash Wednesday,
last week, and goes till Easterits
40 days during which Christians
are supposed to better themselves.
Usually one gives up something
enjoyable and donates the money
saved to charities. So I could, say,
give up eating pretzels for a month
and then donate the cash I save
from not eating pretzels to charity.
But this year Im thinking about
doing something different, much
different.
This Lenten season I have a sug-
gestion for the masses. Why not,
instead of giving up something that
you enjoy for lent, pick up a few
bad habits or just make some bad
decisions, so that by the end of the
40 days you realize how good your
life was and you never want to do
those bad things again.
Take up smoking. Now I dont
mean this as in a cigarette a day. Go
full-force into it; start smoking half
a pack a day (I just heard cigarette
companies CEOs start salivating).
Dont go anywhere without at
least three alcoholic beverages in
your body. This means anywhere:
work, class, church, the doctor; I
dont mean a weak drink either,
something stiff. Go for a highball.
Marry a really ugly man/woman
and move into a studio apartment
in a bad part of town. This will
make the time go much slower, but
you just have to remember itll only
last for less than a month.
Start driving a beat-up old pick
up truck and drive in one-and-a
-half lanes of any road.
Curse; start cursing a lot. If
youre not passing for a sailor or an
auto mechanic, youre failing.
Buy some Blink-182 CDs.
(Given, I already own most of these.
I was in middle school once).
After 40 days of this well in
reality less than 40 cause its already
been a week when you revert
back to your old life, if you can,
youll realize how good you had it.
Being able to breathe after walking
up the hill, navigating an auto-
mobile without fear of it breaking
down or of you running it into a
streetlight, waking up in the morn-
ing to a pleasant face in a nice part
of town, being able to talk in front
of kids and having music in your
collection that youre proud of
the good life.
Or you know, you could just
give up chocolate. Whatever.

letter to the editor
As an alumnus, I read with great
excitement about the opening of
the new Multicultural Resource
Center.
As an involved student, I knew
what a crucial role the center
would play in every student's life
and the potential influence it could
have if given the proper resources.
I certainly hope this excitement
persists among the entire student
body today. In reading the article,
I couldn't help but think back and
reflect upon the exemplary lead-
ership and profound sacrifice of
the student leaders, administrators,
and friends of the university who
made this project possible.
The first time I heard about
the center was in 2002. I had an
on-campus job relating to graduate
and professional student affairs and
read then-Student Body President
Jonathan Ng's platform with great
interest. He spoke of an expanded
role for the center and strengthen-
ing its presence on campus in a
more centrally located place. To me,
it was beyond exciting. Diversity
was always a goal that would help
every KU student better prepare for
the workplace, and Jonathan knew
its potential went beyond minority
groups.
Student Senate of 2002-03 led
an aggressive campaign for fund-
ing a new building and building
greater awareness throughout
the KU Community. Thanks to
Jonathan, along with Blake Shuart,
Mark Dupree, Catherine Bell, Casey
Collier, Lase Ajayi, myself, and
countless other students, funding for
a new building was passed at the end
of the 2002-2003 school year. But
getting a new building was only the
start. Future Student Senate groups,
led by Student Senate leaders such as
Andy Knopp, Steve Munch, and Jeff
Dunlap, kept the spirit and purpose
of this project close to their hearts.
It is my hope that all students
from all walks of life, undergradu-
ate and post-undergraduate, will
take advantage of this unique and
incredible place. As someone who
was there when this was merely but
a dream five years ago, it is a thrill
to see it become a reality."

NEWS 8A wednesday, february 13, 2008

President Bushs $3.1 trillion
budget proposal could result in less
money for biomedical research at
the University of Kansas.
Bushs 2009 budget, released on
Feb. 4, included flatlined funding for
the National Institutes of Health for
the fifth time since 2005.
The NIH, the primary federal
agency for medical research, is a
major supplier of grant money for
biomedical research at the University
and the University Medical Center.
Bushs proposed NIH funding,
which has been flat since 2005, has
caused diminished financial sup-
port for the NIH because it has not
kept up with inflation, according to
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
When funding for an organiza-
tion is flatlined, it receives the same
amount of money as the previous
year, without compensating for
inflation.
Paul Terranova, vice chancellor for
research at the medical center, said
the decreased funding had caused
a reduction in the dollar amount
of individual NIH research grants
awarded to University researchers.
Overall funding for biomedical
research has not declined for the
University.
Keith Yehle, director of federal
relations, said the tight NIH bud-
get would mean greater competition
among researchers for grants.
Were wanting the biggest pot of
federal research, Yehle said. Our
community will push for that.
Kevin Boatright, director of
research communications, said mis-
conceptions about the NIH could
have contributed to the decrease in
funding.
In some circles, there is a sense
that the NIH has done so well they
dont need to do anymore, which
we of course would disagree with,
he said.
National organizations such as
the American Heart Association,
Alzheimers Association and the
HIV Medicine Association have
also criticized the presidents plan to
reduce biomedical funding.
The status of proposed funding
for the NIH contrasts with that for
physical science agencies like the
National Science Foundation, which
received a 16 percent increase.
Boatright said physical scienc-
es and the NSF received a fund-
ing boost because legislators have
become concerned about the com-
petitiveness of the United States in
the world market.
Other countries have invested
more in science, technology, engi-
neering and math, he said. I think
what youre seeing is a reflection of
that becoming a higher priority.
Boatright also said University
research related to alternative energy
could benefit from the NSF funding
boost.
The Transportation Research
Institute, Biodiesel Initiative
and Center for Environmentally
Beneficial Catalysis, a University
engineering research center, could
be among those positively affected.
Yehle said Bushs budget proposal
is subject to change until passed
by Congress later this year. He said
University officials would continue
to lobby for increased NIH funding.

The road To
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
Kansas defied the odds last season.
Bill Self s Jayhawks nearly finished unde-
feated on the road in the Big 12 conference.
Kansas finished 7-1 on the road matching its
7-1 conference record at home and won the
Big 12 regular season championship outright.
Texas gave Kansas a reality check on
Monday, beating Kansas 72-69. In case the
Jayhawks didnt remember, winning on the
road is an arduous task.
Its one of those things, Bill Self said
about the difficulty of playing on the road.
If you go in there, and dont play well, you
will get beat.
Its happened to Kansas twice. Before
Texas, Kansas was tripped up by Kansas State
at Bramlage Coliseum an opposing venue
thats normally been a Jayhawk heaven.
But Kansas can take some solace in the
fact that this season, every Big 12 team is tak-
ing its beatings on the road. Whether its the
hostile crowd, the unfamiliar surroundings
or those uncomfortable hotel mattresses, Big
12 teams have a combined conference road
record of 16-36. This isnt a new trend either.
Last season, teams finished a combined 33-
66 on the road.
Texas A&M can empathize with Kansas. In
Mark Turgeons first season, the Aggies start-
ed 15-1 during the nonconference season.
Texas A&Ms only loss was you guessed it
on the road against Arizona. Then the Big
12 season started, and Turgeons team was
run out of the gym in two consecutive Big 12
road games. Texas A&M lost 68-53 at Texas
Tech, and 75-54 to K-State at the all-of-a-
sudden hostile Bramlage Coliseum.
Its a fine line between winning and
losing, Turgeon said of his teams road
struggles. Its all the little things that add up
executing at the right time.
Texas A&M reversed its negative road
trend by winning its next three away from
home against Oklahoma State, Iowa State
and Missouri.
Weve had some games on the road that
we could win and we took advantage of it,
Turgeon said.
The Aggies road resurgence has buoyed
their Big 12 title aspirations. After starting
1-3, Texas A&M is back to 6-3 in the confer-
ence and back in the title hunt.
But the tale of Texas A&M seems to be
the norm in the Big 12. Win on the road,
and you should find yourself in the top half
of the Big 12. K-State atop the Big 12 with
a 7-1 record also sports the conferences
best road record at 2-1. On the other hand,
the Big 12s bottom five teams Texas Tech,
Iowa State, Missouri, Oklahoma State and
Colorado are 1-21 on the road in the Big
12 combined.
Baylor head coach Scott Drew knows the
importance of winning on the road. Last sea-
son, his Baylor team finished 0-8 on the road
on its way to an 11th place finish in the Big
12. This season, the Bears are 1-3 away from
home, and have parlayed that moderate suc-
cess into a 5-3 Big 12 record. With road wins
at a premium, Drew has a new mantra.
You have to win your home games if you
want to be in the upper echelon of the Big
12, Drew said.
Winning at Allen Fieldhouse this confer-
ence season is one thing Kansas has been
able to do. The Jayhawks are 5-0 at home
in the conference, but its road woes are still
a concern. Bill Self has one explanation for
the road dip.
I think this is a much, much more difficult
road schedule than what we had last year, Self
said. This years slate included trips to Texas,
Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. Three teams
Kansas played host to last season.
Kansas is once again looking up in the
standings at K-State. Even if the Jayhawks
stay perfect on their home court, they will
most certainly need to pick up their play
away from home if they want to win their
fourth consecutive Big 12 regular season
championship.
Its something Self knows, and Kansas
fifth year head coach said there is no secret
to road success.
Teams have to be tough, Self said. They
have to focus.

Sometimes theres nothing positive to
learn from a loss. However, in Kansas 64-
58 loss to Kansas State on Saturday there
was a plethora of positives to take away
from the game and plenty of reasons for
coach Bonnie Henricksons team to have
hope for the rest of the season.
For one thing, the Jayhawks hung close
with the No. 17 team in the country on the
road. Before Saturday, the closest Kansas
had come to a Big 12 opponent on the road
was a 16-point loss to Oklahoma.
We would have rather won today, but
we battled and competed. The entire game
was a battle for us, senior forward Taylor
McIntosh said. Before, we played the first
half and not the second, or we played the
second half and not the first.
Today we played both halves.
The Jayhawks werent always sticking
right with the Wildcats, in fact they fell
10 points back early in the second half.
However, the fact that her team was able to
erase the deficit was something Henrickson
loved to see.
Now weve been able to answer some
runs and thats where you grow with some
toughness and maturity, Henrickson
said.
The Jayhawks think they have turned
a corner and, according to McIntosh, this
isnt the same team that suffered an 18-
point loss to Colorado, tonights opponent,
less than a month ago.
Of course everyone wants to win,
but at the same time if you look at this
game then look at previous games that
we were never in, its hard not to find
positives, McIntosh said. Its a complete
turnaround.
Complete or not, the Jayhawks turn-
around is impressive, and the only thing
they have to be worried about is whether
its coming too late. There are seven regular
season games left this year four at home
and three on the road and they must
win more than they lose to have a shot at
postseason play.
Still, Henrickson is happy to see her
team grow and get better every day.
Krysten (Boogaard) is starting to
emerge, and it was good for LaChelda
(Jacobs) to come in and play with some
confidence, Henrickson said. These kids
are excited about the opportunity to keep
getting better and get on a little run here,
and they should be. Weve got two big
games at home this week.
Kansas squares off with Colorado
tonight at 7, then it receives Nebraska
on Sunday with tipoff scheduled for 2
p.m. The Jayhawks will wear special pink
uniforms for Sundays game as part of

Two players on the KU club hockey team
laced up their skates for the last time in last
weekends home series against Iowa State
University.
Of the nine seniors listed on the official
roster, Nick Hantge, Hutchinson, Minn., and
Ryne Tusten, Olathe, are the only two gradu-
ating at the end of the spring semester. Both
players took part in the majority of the sea-
sons games, contributing quality minutes for
the team. Hantge was second on the team in
points for the season, adding 15 goals to his 16
assists in just 25 games. Tusten did not record
a goal all season, preferring to lead the team
on defense instead. The two players helped
the KU club hockey team to a 10-10-2 record
against top-tier teams this season.
I feel the team is headed nowhere but
up, Hantge said. They should have a great
group of guys back on the ice next year and
our program has really taken off.
In the last game of the season, KU took
on Iowa State. The game was anything but
close as the Jayhawks worked their way to
a 9-2 victory. The bond between the play-
ers was apparent, as teammates laughed
and smiled as everything went their way.
The ease of the game allowed the players to
relax and enjoy their last minutes on the ice.
Team president Dan Guilfoil, Eden Prairie,
Minn., senior graduates at the end of next
fall. Guilfoil played all four years with the
team, but is not sure he will be returning
to the team next semester. The victory over
Iowa State could very well have been his last
as a Jayhawk also.
It was kind of a scary experience, Guilfoil
said. It still hasnt really soaked in yet that it
was the last time on the ice with this team.
With the game in hand, ahead 9-1 before
the end of the second period, the team con-
tinued to work hard. They played tough
throughout the final period, only allowing a
single goal. The team even threw in a crowd-
pleasing fight. Coincidentally, it was the only
time the team was beaten all day. When the
final buzzer sounded, dropping the curtain
on a hard-fought and rewarding season, the
team skated onto the ice together for one
more celebration.
It means a lot to end it with such great
friends, Hantge said. And I couldnt have
asked for anything better.
The team was noticeably drained from
the efforts they put forth during the game.
The mood of the players was a somber one.
Everyone wanted to go out there
and leave it all on the ice, Guilfoil said.
Especially being the last game of the year
and for some of us the last game ever.
The future of the KU club hockey team is
promising. Although potentially losing three
talented players, the returning squad is very
experienced, with six other seniors return-
ing next year. In addition to the experience
of the seniors, Guilfoil said the program
would continue to develop in a positive way
and maintain its winning tradition because
of the talented youth.
As the graduating seniors look ahead to
life after college hockey, they agree that they
will never forget the experience.
Hockey has really been more than just
a game to me, Hantge said. The friends I
have made along the way are irreplaceable
and I will cherish the memories forever.
Guilfoil agreed.
I will miss every part of this team,
Guilfoil said.

Q: Who does Atlanta Braves
pitcher John Smoltz regularly play
golf with while he attends spring
training in Orlando?
A: Tiger Woods and Annika
Sorenstam. Smoltz, who is an even-
handicap golfer, has never beaten
Woods in 10 tries but did beat
Sorenstam by two strokes once,
fve years ago.
atlantabraves.com
John Smoltz is the only pitcher
in Major League Baseball history
to record 200 wins and 150 saves
in his career. Smoltz set the record
on May 24th of last year when the
Braves beat the Mets, who started
ex-Brave pitcher Tom Glavine in the
game, 2-1.
espn.com
Hes beyond a Hall of Famer.
Hes amazing. It was awesome. Its
amazing to catch someone like
that.
-Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann on Smoltz
after he won his 200th career game.

sports trivia of the day
sports quote of the day
By ALAN ESKEW
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. Mike Maroth,
who won 25 games for the Detroit
Tigers in 2004-05,
showed up at the
Kansas City Royals
training camp
Tuesday knowing
the team is looking
for a left-handed
starter.
Thats why Im
here, said Maroth,
who signed a minor
league contract with the Royals on
Friday with an invitation to spring
training. Its a great opportunity.
Maroth, 30, has pitched six years
in the majors, most of them with the
Tigers. After winning 14 games for
Detroit in 2005, he began the next
season with a 5-2 record and a 2.45
earned run average. In a May 25,
2006, start at Kansas City, Maroth
gave up six runs on six hits, includ-
ing three home runs, in a third of an
inning and left with a sore left elbow.
After undergoing elbow surgery to
remove bone chips, he was out until
September 2006.
He began last season with a 5-2
record, but then the Tigers traded
him to the St. Louis Cardinals on
June 22, after Kenny Rogers came off
the disabled list.
You could see something had
to be done. Obviously, there were
different scenarios, but we had a
surplus of starting pitchers, Maroth
said.
It was after he went to the
Cardinals that he noticed something
was different. In his first start, he
held the Mets to one run and two
hits in 7 1-3 innings. After that, his
performance deteriorated.
You could clearly see I wasnt the
same pitcher I had been in the past.
Then I ended up getting tendinitis in
my forearm, he said.
St. Louis put him in the bullpen
in August. Maroth finished 0-5 with
a 10.66 ERA in 14 games, seven of
them starts.
After he arrived at the Royals
training camp Tuesday, it didnt take
long for pitching coach Bob McClure
to find a flaw in Maroths delivery.
I threw my first side today
and Mac pointed out something,
Maroth said. I threw three pitches
and he stopped me. It had to do with
the way I was landing on my front
foot. I made an adjustment. I could
feel a difference after a few pitches
of trying to get a better landing. You
could see a difference clearly in the
way I was finishing pitches. Its a
great sign.
Maroth said his velocity is the
same as it was before the surgery.
Ive never been a hard thrower, he
added.

MIAMI J.R. Smith made a
career-best eight 3-pointers and
scored 28 points, Kenyon Martin
added 24, and the Denver Nuggets
edged the Miami Heat 114-113 in
overtime Tuesday night.
Carmelo Anthony scored six of
his 22 points in overtime for Denver,
which has won three straight.
Dwyane Wade scored a game-
high 29 points, but missed a 22-foot-
er at the buzzer for Miami which
has lost eight straight and 23 of its
last 24 games.
Wade who also had 10 assists
made a 3-pointer with 2:36 left
in overtime to tie the game at 110,
then dove over the first row of seats
in a futile effort to grab a loose
ball a minute later. On that posses-
sion, Anthony Carter made two free
throws, putting the Nuggets up by
two with 1:26 left.
Anthony added two more free
throws with 54.1 seconds to play, and
Ricky Davis 3-pointer with 33.6 sec-
onds left got Miami within a point.
Anthony missed with about 10 sec-
onds remaining, Miami controlled
the rebound and Wade dribbled up
the left side of the floor to one of his
favorite spots.
But the shot rimmed out, and
Miami left frustrated once again.
I know its been a tough year,
Wade told fans before the game, as
he thanked them for helping vote
him onto the Eastern Conference
All-Star team. But it wont last for-
ever.
It only seems that way.
Shawn Marion scored 23 points
and added a Heat season-best 18
rebounds. Dorell Wright scored 19
points and Mark Blount finished
with 18 points and 13 rebounds.
Allen Iverson scored 16 points on
5-for-20 shooting for Denver, and
Marcus Camby ended up with 12
points and 16 rebounds.
Smith scored a career-high 37
points against the Heat on Dec. 8,
2006, and did similar damage to
Miami on Tuesday.
He sparked a big Denver run
from a 14-point deficit in the first
half, and in the fourth quarter, he
simply torched Miami with four 3-
pointers in the first 5:07 of the final
period answering Miami baskets
with three of those long jumpers.
But despite Smiths best efforts,
the game remained close through-
out the fourth, with neither team
ever leading by more than four in
the last 16:18 of the game. Iversons
jumper with 1:41 remaining gave
the Nuggets a 102-98 edge, before
Wades layup cut the lead in half and
Blounts jumper from the left base-
line with 17.5 seconds left tied it.
Wright blocked Iversons poten-
tial game-winner with 0.4 seconds
left, sending the game to overtime.
Wright, who didnt attempt a 3-
pointer in 22 games between Dec.
15 and Feb. 7 was 2-for-2 from
beyond the arc in the first quarter,
helping stake Miami to a 32-23 lead.
When Marion took a nifty
bounce pass in the lane from former
Phoenix teammate Marcus Banks
and dunked with 8:17 left in the half,
the Heat led 42-28 their biggest
edge in any game since leading Utah
by 16 points on Dec. 22.
But of course, in this Miami sea-
son, prosperity didnt last.
Denver scored the next 10 points,
sparked by Smith. He scored 13
points in a 4-minute span after
Marions dunk, and the Nuggets were
within 63-57 after a wild half where
Miami shot 61 percent from the
floor and held a 22-14 rebounding
edge, yet still couldnt pull away.
And in the third quarter, the Heat
got caught.
Iverson missed 11 of his first 13
shots before driving for an acro-
batic layup while getting fouled with
3:21 left in the third, pulling Denver
within 76-72.
It was part of a 15-2 period-end-
ing run by the Nuggets, who took
their first lead since the opening
minutes when Iverson made a six-
footer with 1:51 left, and wound
up extending the cushion to 84-78
entering the fourth.

For a recreational game, Alpha
Delta Pi 2 and Chi Omega1 proved
that it was anything but just for
fun, as both teams put up a good
fight during last nights intramu-
ral game at the Student Recreation
Fitness Center.
The action-filled game ended with
Chi Omega1 grabbing a 40-23 vic-
tory. Much of the scoring was done
in the second half of the game with
fewer turnovers and tighter defenses.
During the low scoring first half,
neither team let up easily, and the
score was kept at a relatively even
level until the second half.
Within the first minutes of the
game, Stefani Fuhrman, Tulsa,
Okla., sophomore, shot an easy
three-pointer. Cheers came from the
ADPi2 sideline as the girls on the
court congratulated her.
After that, Chi Omega1 respond-
ed by making quick layups through
ADPi2s defense and traveling force-
fully down the lane to pick up easy
baskets.
Both teams played aggressively
throughout the game and drove
through the lane with reckless aban-
don to try to score.
Chi Omega1 used communica-
tion to help each other out and con-
stantly kept moving and getting in
front of their defenders and blocking
out for rebounds.
Just ten minutes into the first half,
Erica Lathrop, Blair, Neb., junior,
called a timeout for Chi Omega1 and
tried to use strategy to get a lead in
the game.
We had to get into the rhythm
and take care of the basics, said
Chelsie Harper, Hugoton senior and
member of Chi Omega1.
The small pep talk worked for Chi
Omega1, and when the game started
up again, the defense held ADPi2 in
check for the next ten minutes, while
the offense made quick passes deep
inside the paint.
The first half ended with a score
of 13-13 and both teams thinking
about what they could do better in
the second half.
By the time the second half start-
ed, Chi Omega1 knew what needed
to be done to score more points.
Before returning to the court, Chi
Omega1 players told each other to
step up on defense and pumped each
other up with a team shout prior to
the start of play. At the same time on
the other side of the court, ADPi2
had its own plans for a victory.
We should put more pressure on
the ball handler, Kate Weinstock,
Overland Park junior, told her
ADPi2 teammates.
During the second half, both
teams got into major foul trouble.
Although ADPi2 had chances to put
points on the board through foul
shots, it didnt capitalize on them.
Towards the end, ADPi2 tried to
get back into the game but most of
its shots kept hitting the heel of the
rim and bouncing into Chi Omega1s
outreached hands.
Both teams played a very aggres-
sive game, but ChiOmega1 was
determined to prevail.
Even though the game was a hard
fought battle, Chi Omega1s athleti-
cism, teamwork and determination
proved too much for ADPi2 and, in
the end, gave Chi Omega1 the 17-
point victory.

A victory tonight would keep postseason aspirations alive
Colorado aT Kansas, 7 p.m., Allen fieldhouse, Lawrence
The last matchup between
Colorado and Kansas saw coach
Bonnie Henricksons team open up
an 18-8 lead before going ice-cold
and losing 59-41. Freshman center
Krysten Boogaard and sophomore
guard Danielle McCray were each
spectators for most of that game
because of foul trouble, which
means both have something to
prove Wednesday night. With only
seven regular season games left,
the Jayhawks must win this game
if they still have any postseason as-
pirations. In the end, turnovers, or
lack thereof, will decide this game.
If Kansas commits 15 or fewer then
it will come out victorious. Any
more than 20, like the season-high
27 turnovers in Boulder, and the
victory goes to the Bufaloes.
Will McCray and Boogaard
combine to play more than 50
minutes?
Kansas is, without a doubt, a
much better team when these two
are on the court, and when one or
the other is on the bench in foul
trouble its obvious that something
is missing. Boogaards presence
down low will be especially im-
portant Wednesday night because
Bufs forward Jackie McFarland is
a force to be reckoned with on the
block. Boogaard played a career-
low 11 minutes in the frst match-
up and minutes like that will likely
result in another Kansas loss.
The Bufaloes began confer-
ence play at a respectable 2-3.
Since then they have lost fve
straight games to put them-
selves squarely in the Big 12
cellar. One of those two wins
was in Boulder against Kansas,
but Colorado has only one con-
ference road win and that was
against last-place Missouri. At
2-8 in the Big 12, Colorado has
little postseason hope but a win
against Kansas would be huge
going into the fnal fve games
of conference play.
Can Colorado get to the
free-throw line?
In the Bufaloes 59-41 win
at home they went 20-28 from
the free-throw line. In the pro-
cess, Colorado kept Boogaard
of the court for most of the
game. The talented freshman
played only 11 minutes after
collecting four quick personal
fouls. The key to beating the
Jayhawks at home will be
keeping previously foul-prone
players like Danielle McCray
and Boogaard from playing
more than 30 minutes. Look
for Colorado to pound the ball
inside to McFarland early in the
hope that Boogaard will pick
up a few quick fouls.
Boogaard
Jacobs

Powers

McFarland
Jackie McFarland, 6-foot-3 senior forward
18.1 ppg, 8.2 rpg
The Derby native is playing Kansas for what could
be the last time in her collegiate career. McFarland is
4-3 against the Jayhawks in her career. McFarland is
one of the most efcient ofensive players in the Big
12, shooting 58 percent from the feld and 78 percent
from the free-throw line. During Januarys win in
Boulder, McFarland scored 15 points on 3-5 shooting
from the feld, doing most of her damage from the
charity stripe.
Brittany Spears, 6-foot-1 freshman forward
13.8 ppg, 7.0 rpg
Last weeks Big 12 Rookie of the Week is
showing what conference opponents can look
forward to for the next three years. Though her
production has already been impressive for a
frst-year player, Spears numbers have gone
up in Big 12 play. Despite being listed as
a forward and pulling in her share of re-
bounds, Spears spends much of her time
on the perimeter. Almost half of her
shot attempts have come from three.
Susie Powers, 5-foot-10 senior
guard
3.3 ppg, 4.0 apg
Powers is someone Kansas can virtually
ignore on the ofensive end where scoring
is concerned. That said, she distributes the
ball well, and if Powers can get the
ball to McFarland and Spears
in areas where they can score,
they both could approach
the 20-point mark. If she
turns the ball over, it could
mean a sixth straight
loss for Colorado.
Krysten Boogaard, 6-foot-5 freshman center
9.4 ppg, 5.5 rpg
Boogaard has torn through the Big 12 as of late,
posting back-to-back double-doubles with 20
points in each of her last two games and a career
high 14 rebounds against Kansas State. However,
the last time Kansas played Colorado, Boogaard
picked up two quick fouls and fnished with more
fouls (four) than points (two) and rebounds (one)
put together. Colorado forward Jackie McFar-
land is a smart player and will again try and send
Boogaard to the bench.
LaChelda Jacobs, 5-foot-10 sophomore guard
5.2 ppg, 49 percent from the feld
With the season-ending ACL injury to
freshman guard Chakeitha Weldon, Jacobs
is now locked in as the backup point guard.
Like Weldon, Jacobs brings a lot of
athleticism to the position but also
comes with a 0.41 assist-to-turn-
over ratio, near the bottom of
the league for point guards.
Jacobs play-making ability is
unquestioned and now she
needs to quickly add some
stability to be efective.
Danielle McCray, 5-foot-11 sopho-
more guard
14.2 ppg, 7.2 rpg
Scoring in double fgures has never
been a problem for McCray. She has scored at
least 11 points in all but two games this season,
but in conference play the sophomore is shooting
just 32 percent from the feld. With extra attention
on Boogaard down low, McCray has found some
easier shots from 15 feet and further out, and if she
starts knocking those down the Jayhawks will be in
business.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. It
began with crunched fenders, harsh
words and maybe even a punch in
the face. But the final result was just
a slap on the wrist from NASCAR: a
six-race probation for Tony Stewart
and Kurt Busch.
Heading into Sundays Daytona
500, its beginning to look like
NASCAR officials were serious when
they said they will cut drivers some
slack on their bad behavior this year.
Were still working into letting
the drivers develop and vent in
proper ways, but were giving them
some more latitude, NASCAR vice
president of competition Robin
Pemberton said Tuesday. We said
in the offseason we would do that
and I think this is another step to
letting you know what we mean.
The punishments to Stewart
and Busch stem from a confron-
tation between the two former
series champions, who wrecked
in practice last week and then car-
ried it into the NASCAR officials
trailer.
While nobody involved in
the incident would confirm that
Stewart actually punched Busch
during the first of their two meetings
with officials, as is widely believed,
Pemberton inferred that Buschs
penalty was for what happened on
the track and Stewarts was for what
happened afterward.
The accident was a racing inci-
dent, Pemberton said. How they
conducted themselves after that,
after the accident and coming onto
pit road and from there through the
rest of the evening is why the penal-
ties were equal.
Equally light, that is.
However, in granting Busch and
Stewart some leniency for their
dustup, officials also made it known
that the term probation will mean
more this year than it has in the
past.
Probation has been a murky issue
for NASCAR, as officials havent
necessarily punished a driver more
harshly if he misbehaves while on
probation. NASCAR spokesman Jim
Hunter said thats going to change.
Were starting the season by put-
ting them on probation and were
also going to redefine what proba-
tion means, Hunter said. And they
clearly understand it.
With that in mind, Pemberton
said Stewart and Busch need to give
each other some room on the track
but that doesnt mean they cant
race each other hard.
They need to be able to race

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
Moments after pole qualifying for
the Daytona 500 ended, Toyota offi-
cial Lee White was asked how he
felt about the Japanese automakers
results that day.
Disappointed, replied White,
senior vice president and general man-
ager of Toyota Racing Development.
In the wake of Toyota placing three
of its NASCAR Sprint Cup Camrys in
the top five on last Sundays speed
chart, including Michael Waltrip
locking up the outside front row posi-
tion for Sundays 50th running of
The Great American Race, that one
word speaks volumes.
A year ago, Toyota moved up to
what was then known as the Nextel
Cup series and took its lumps.
Arriving at Daytona with the
middle-of-the-pack Bill Davis Racing
team and the brand new Michael
Waltrip Racing and Team Red Bull
operations, little was expected of the
new brand. And little was produced.
Only four of eight Toyotas entered
made the season-opening race.
Waltrip after embarrassing
Toyota earlier in the week with a
cheating scandal involving an illegal
fuel additive was the top Camry
qualifier, earning a 15th-place start
by racing his way into the big event in
one of the 150-mile qualifying races.
Teammate Dale Jarrett, who got
into the race on the series champions
provisional, was the top Toyota fin-
isher at 22nd.
None of the Camry quartet was
ever a real contender in the 500-mile
race.
As the season moved on, progress
for the Toyota teams was agonizingly
slow. They struggled just to qualify
for races.
BDRs Dave Blaney gave the man-
ufacturer its one and only pole last
summer at New Hampshire, while
the third-place finish by Red Bulls
Brian Vickers last fall at Talladega was
the best for a Toyota.
A year later, after a lot of hard
work and the acquisition of the pow-
erhouse Joe Gibbs Racing team as its
marquee team, Toyota could be in the
hunt for its first Cup victory on the
sports biggest stage.
TRD president Jim Aust tried to
put the situation in perspective after
the qualifying session and could
hardly stop smiling.
Im super happy, he said. This
says a lot about where we were last
year and where we are this year. You
take it one step at a time, but I think
were on a much more level playing
field now.
Aust said there are a number of
reasons why Toyota enters the 2008
season as a serious contender rather
than an afterthought.
A big one is that the Car of
Tomorrow is now the only one Cup
teams will be using.
Another key, of course, is steal-
ing away JGR, owner of three of the
last seven Cup titles, with two-time
champion Tony Stewart and rising
stars Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch
as its current drivers.
Stewart finished second behind
the Chevrolet of Dale Earnhardt Jr. in
last Saturday nights 70-lap exhibition
race, the first event of the season. It
appeared he could easily have won
with a little more drafting help.
Its the same car that we ran for
half the year last year, other than a
different engine, Stewart said before
the race, referring to the CoT. If you
can feel a difference in that car, then
you need to be driving it because I
cant feel a difference at all.
With Waltrip already on the front
row and teammate David Reutimann
and Blaney, the fourth and fifth fast-
est drivers last Sunday, assured of
being in the lineup for the 500, every-
one has taken notice of Toyota.
Rick Hendrick, owner of the pow-
erful Hendrick Motorsports team that
includes Earnhardt, pole-winner and
two-time reigning Cup champion
Jimmie Johnson, four-time champion
Jeff Gordon and Casey Mears, is also
expecting Toyota to be tough in the
500, as well as serious contenders for
the rest of the season.
These Toyotas are awfully fast,
Hendrick said.

Robbie Hummel scored a career-

Michigan State.
Hummel, a freshman, also
grabbed 11 rebounds and made 4 of
7 3-pointers.
ETwaun Moore scored 12 points
and Keaton Grant added 11 for
Purdue, which won its 10th straight
game to remain alone in first place in
the Big Ten. The Boilermakers (20-5,
11-1 Big Ten) have won at least 20
games for the second straight year.
Freshman guard Kalin Lucas
scored a career-high 20 points for
Michigan State, and Raymar Morgan
scored all 12 of his points in the sec-
ond half for the Spartans (20-4, 8-3).
No. 5 North caroliNa

Tyler Hansbrough scored 23
points, including a critical baby hook
with 21 seconds to play Tuesday
night, and No. 5 North Carolina
once again survived a surprising
challenge before holding on in a 75-
74 victory over Virginia.
The Tar Heels (23-2, 8-2 Atlantic
Coast Conference), coming off a
double overtime victory against
Clemson on Sunday, got all they
could handle from the Cavaliers,
who had lost nine of 10 but played
nothing like a team in a hopeless
free fall.
Virginia (11-12, 1-9), trying to
avoid its first 1-9 start in the league
since the 1976-77 season, came up
short, but not without its best show-
ing in almost a month.

Mike Green scored 10 of his
24 points in overtime and had 13
rebounds and eight assists despite
spraining his right ankle to help
Butler rally to beat Wisconsin-
Milwaukee.
Butler (22-2, 11-2 Horizon
League) came in with its highest
ranking in school history in the
midst of four games in eight days.
But the Bulldogs came out flat, trail-
ing by as many as 12 in the first
half and seven in the second before
Green took over as Butler took the
lead from the start of overtime and
didnt relinquish it.
Milwaukee (12-11, 7-6) squan-
dered its big lead after too many
turnovers, but Ricky Franklin tied
the game at 67 with 0.8 seconds left
the game when he made an off-bal-
ance shot with Greens hand in his
face.
Franklin had missed each of his
four previous three-point attempts.
No. 22 PittSBurgh 82,
ProVideNce 63
Sam Young scored 22 points and
Pittsburgh limited Providence to six
points in the opening 11 minutes of
the second half, allowing the Panthers
to pull away for the victory.
Ronald Ramon, coming off a
game-winning 3-pointer at the
buzzer against West Virginia, hit five
3-pointers while scoring 15 points
and physical freshman DeJuan Blair
proved a difficult matchup inside for
Providence with 15 points and seven
rebounds.
Pitt (19-5, 7-4 Big East) alternated
wins and losses over its previous
seven games before putting away
the slumping Friars (13-11, 4-8),
who lost their sixth in seven games
and are winless in their last eight
against the Panthers. The Friars
havent beaten Pitt since January
2001 and havent won in Pittsburgh
since December 1998.
No. 23 louiSVille 88,
dePaul 68
Terrence Williams tied a sea-
son-high with 22 points and David
Padgett set one with 20 to lead
Louisville to a win over DePaul.
It was an easy night for the
Cardinals (19-6, 9-3 Big East), who
jumped into the Top 25 and shook
up the Big East race by beating then-
No. 16 Marquette and then-No. 6
Georgetown last week.
Williams and Padgett, whose pre-
vious high was 18 points against
Georgetown on Saturday, each hit 9
of 12 shots. Williams also grabbed
eight rebounds.
Dar Tucker scored 22 for DePaul
(10-14, 5-7), which has lost five of
six and is in danger of missing the
Big East tournament.

Shan Foster scored 20 points and
A.J. Ogilvy added 19 points and
12 rebounds as Vanderbilt handed
the NCAAs winningest team one of
its worst losses in decades, beating
Kentucky.
The Commodores (21-4, 6-4
Southeastern Conference) started a
four-game homestand by winning
their fourth straight. The only SEC
team to open league play with six
of their first nine away from home
had lost 79-73 in double-overtime at
Kentucky on Jan. 12.
They more than got their revenge
before a sold-out crowd.
It was the worse loss for Kentucky
(12-10, 6-3) since losing by 55 to
Kansas on Dec. 9, 1989.

NEW YORK America has a
new Snoop dog-
gie.
B a r k i n g
and baying up
a storm, Uno
lived up to his
name Tuesday
night by becom-
ing the first
beagle to win
best in show at
the Westminster
Kennel Club.
The nations new top dog was
clearly the fan favorite, and drew a
standing ovation from the sold-out
crowd at Madison Square Garden
when he was picked.
Uno got right into the act, jump-
ing up on handler Aaron Wilkerson
and confirming his other title:
noisiest in show. Years from now,
hell be known for the ah-roo
heard round the ring.
The only dog consistently listed
among Americas most popular
breeds for nearly 100 years, a bea-
gle had never won in the 100 times
Westminster picked a winner. That
changed when judge J. Donald
Jones pointed to this nearly 3-year-
old package of personality.
Good ol Snoopy, a champion
at last.
Uno was numero uno, beat-
ing out two perfect poodles, a
top Sealyham terrier, a sleek
Weimaraner, a lively Australian
shepherd and a sprightly Akita.
We knew he was going to be
No. 1, Wilkerson said.
More than 169 breeds and vari-
eties were represented at the 132nd
Westminster Kennel Club event,
and the compe-
tition brought
2,627 entries.
B a r k s
echoed around
Madison Square
Garden as the
crowd cheered
its favorites,
among them
a Neapolitan
mastiff that
l u m b e r e d
around the ring, a Chihuahua that
spun in circles and a miniature
pinscher that plucked a piece of
food off the green carpet without
missing a beat.
Formally known as K-Runs Park
Me in First, Uno came into this
competition with 32 best in show
ribbons overall.
Yet he was sure-
ly an underdog
because no
beagle had even
won the hound
group since
1939.
But Uno fixed
that, breezing
in the 15-inch
breed judg-
ing on Monday
morning and taking his group sev-
eral hours later.
But when it came time to show,
Uno was as precocious and pre-
cious as ever.
With fans calling out his name
and clapping, he soaked in the
cheers as he walked around the
ring. And when he made his final
stop in front of Jones, Uno went to
town, baying over and over.
Even when he returned to side-
lines as other dogs were judged,
Uno kept going. Quite a win it was
for Eddie Dziuk of Columbia, Mo.,
and the other three co-owners.
My sister called me today and
said shes always turned off the
dog show on TV because shes
tired of all those poodles winning,
Jon Woodring, one of the other
co-owners, said earlier in the day.
But she watched last night. I think
Uno winning would show that an
everyday dog can do it.
Longtime dog expert David
Frei, the paw-by-paw announcer
for USA Networks coverage of the
Westminster Kennel Club show,
went even further.
If he wins best in show, Ill
rent him an
apartment in
New York City
because Ill be
traveling with
him all year, so
many people
will want to see
him, he said. If
he won, it would
be the greatest
thing for our
show.
Better get that first rent check
ready Uno is here to stay.

WASHINGTON Former
major leaguer Jose Canseco told
Congress in a sworn affidavit that
he has never seen Roger Clemens
use, possess or ask for steroids or
human growth hormone.
The affidavit, dated Jan. 22, was
obtained by The Associated Press
on Tuesday. It is part of the evi-
dence gathered by the congressio-
nal committee looking at drugs in
baseball.
The House Committee on
Oversight and Governments
hearing Wednesday will focus on
Clemens denials of his former per-
sonal trainers allegations in the
Mitchell Report. The trainer, Brian
McNamee, told federal prosecu-
tors and then baseball investigator
George Mitchell that he injected
Clemens with steroids and human
growth hormone at least 16 times in
1998, 2000 and 2001.
I have never had a conversation
with Clemens in which he expressed
any interest in using steroids or
human growth hormone, Canseco
said in the affidavit. Clemens has
never asked me to give steroids or
human growth hormone.
Canseco continued: I have
played on three teams with Roger
Clemens and I have no reason to
believe that he has ever used ste-
roids, human growth hormone, or
any other performance enhancing
drugs.
According to McNamee, Clemens
first raised the subject of steroids not
long after McNamee saw Canseco
and Clemens at a June 1998 party.
At the time, Canseco and Clemens
were teammates on the Toronto
Blue Jays, and McNamee was work-
ing for the team. Canseco says in
his affidavit Clemens was not at
that party.
The first mention of Clemens
name in the Mitchell Report is on
page 167. On the very next page
comes McNamees account of a
lunch party that Canseco hosted at
his home in Miami.
McNamee stated that, during
this luncheon, he observed Clemens,
Canseco, and another person he did
not know meeting inside Cansecos
house, although McNamee did not
personally attend that meeting, the
Mitchell Report says.
In his affidavit, Canseco said,
I specifically recall that Clemens
did not come to the barbecue. I
remember this because I was disap-
pointed that he did not attend. I
later learned that he had a golfing
commitment that day and could
attend the party.
Cansecos book about steroids in
baseball, Juiced, drew Congress
attention in 2005, leading to the
hearing then with Mark McGwire,
Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro.
He and Clemens were teammates
on the 1996 Boston Red Sox and
2000 New York Yankees, in addition
to the 98 Blue Jays.
