University of Kansas bus driver Ken Cadue
will begin giving students the opportunity to
ride in style to Kansas City, Mo.
Cadue, who has worked for the University
since October, said he would charge students
$75 an hour to ride in his 2007 Hummer. If
students pay for four or more hours, Cadue
said he would give them an additional hour
for free.
Its a nice looking Hummer. Its got a lot
of chrome on it, Cadue said. Its riding in
style.
Cadue said he decided to start his busi-
ness because he was worried about students
safety. He said Safe Ride does not travel
outside of Lawrence and there are no other
programs in Lawrence that chauffeur stu-
dents around Kansas City. He said he knew
there was a need for such a program because
he had heard multiple students talking about
their drunk driving experiences while they
were on the bus.
Im a safe driver and one big reason I
like to drive the bus here is that when kids
get on, I try to smile, and it may be the best
greeting they get all day, Cadue said. I try
to be friendly and I feel like Im doing some
good.
Cadue said he would begin the business
on a trial basis. He said he planned to run his
designated driver service on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday evenings, but if it was profitable
enough, he would make the service available
seven days a week. He also said he would
consider buying a Hummer limo as well.
Cadue said he could transport a maxi-
mum of five students in his hummer. At $75
an hour for four hours, Cadues service would
cost each of the five students $60. But Cadue
said he was willing to change his prices to
make his business more competitive.
He said he thought most students would
use the service for about four hours because
students usually leave to go to the city at
about 10 p.m. and the majority of the bars
in Kansas Citys Westport district close at
1 a.m.
Only one other company in Lawrence
offers services similar to Cadues. Jennifer
Chareton, dispatcher for GTI transportation,
said her company charged passengers $160
to pick passengers up and drop them off,
but that they did not chauffer them around
the city.
Chareton said GTIs service was a first-
come, first-serve basis with no cancellation
fee. She said because the business owned
three Lincoln Town Cars that can hold four-
people, three passenger, vans and three mini-
vans, students could usually call the day
before their trip and reserve a car without
any problems.
Cadue said he was unsure how he would
occupy his time while his passengers were
at the bar, but that he would probably go
somewhere and drink coffee or go window-
shopping.
Ill sit in my vehicle all night if I have to,
The student vOice since 1904

students load a bus minutes after classes were canceled onThursday. Both the Lawrence and Edwards campuses canceled classes after 1 p.m., and buses continued to take students of the Lawrence campus until 2 p.m.
february flurries
snow, icy streets lead to cancellation
BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE
csommerville@kansan.com
Classes were canceled Thursday after
1 p.m. because of a snow storm.
Todd Cohen, director of University
Relations, said that Provost Richard
Lariviere canceled classes at about 12:30
p.m. after receiving reports that buses
were having trouble getting up the hills.
If the buses are slipping and sliding,
we dont want to jeopardize the safety of
students, Cohen said.
Margretea de Vries, an administrative
assistant with KU on Wheels, said buses
were only running outbound as of 1 p.m.,
meaning they were only taking students
away from campus and not toward it.
The last bus departed at 2 p.m.
The University sent an e-mail and text
message to students. Students did not
receive these the last time classes were
canceled, which was Feb. 6.
The last time that only afternoon
classes were canceled was February 5,
2004.
To learn whether snow and ice have
affected class or employee work sched-
ules, call the KU Inclement Weather Line
at 785-864-SNOW.

Picture thisit is 1893, and you
are standing amid a collection of
over one hundred stuffed North
American large mammals arranged
in realistic positions in front of natu-
ral backgrounds. Two bull moose are
fighting, their antlers locked togeth-
er. A grizzly bear stands towering
above the crowd. Mountain sheep
and goats caper on a papier-mch
cliff. It is an innovative exhibit, quite
unique for the time. In fact, it is the
most popular exhibit at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition in Chicago
and the young man displaying it is
University of Kansas Lewis Lindsay
Dyche.
As a boy growing up along the
Wakarusa River, Dyche spent much
of his time hunting and trapping.
He could not yet read at the age of
12 and was still far behind other
students at his school at the age of
16. However, his desire to get an
education was strong. He entered
the University of Kansas as a stu-
dent in 1877, and camped out in a
covered wagon for the fall semester
with a friend.
Dyche had a natural aptitude for
science. By 1888 he had completed
four degrees and was given posi-
tions as professor of anatomy and
physiology, taxidermist and curator
of mammals, birds and fishes. He
became a master taxidermist under
the direction of W. T. Hornaday at
the Smithsonian, and he took 23
expeditions to all parts of North
America over 38 years in order to
collect the specimens for his panora-
ma. The success of his exhibit at the
exposition gained him national rec-
ognition, and although he received
several offers from potential buyers,
both for his panorama and people
attempting to lure him away from
the University of Kansas, he pre-
ferred to keep himself and his work
in Kansas. Dyche was, according
to the Guide to The Museum of
Natural History published in 1984,
intensely loyal to KU.
I see him as being quite a character,
Jen Humphrey, communications offi-
cer for the Natural History Museum,
said. The museum guide refers to him
as a colorful personality.
In addition to his taxidermy work,
he accompanied Frederick Cook on
an Arctic expedition which failed,
joined a relief expedition to rescue
Robert Peary after an unsuccessful
attempt to reach the North Pole (he
spent some time on the trip back
collecting specimens for the muse-
um, including six walruses which he
killed himself), and was appointed
the position of state fish and game
warden in 1909 by Governor Stubbs.
He died suddenly in 1915, and the
building which housed the museum
collections which he was so instru-
mental in expanding was named
Dyche Hall in his honor.
Several of Dyches original pieces
of work are currently on display
in the Natural History Museum.
His Worlds Columbian Exposition
Panorama has been enlarged slightly,
backgrounds were repainted, and the
animals were regrouped. Birds, rep-
tiles, insects and amphibians have
also been added to the panorama
since 1975.
The Natural History Museum of
today is, thanks to the start given
by Dyche, a flourishing institution.
Its newest exhibit, called Explore
Evolution, was opened in November
of 2005. This exhibit includes mod-
els of DNA, an HIV virus, a dia-
tom, interactive learning devices and
plaques relating common miscon-
ceptions about evolutionary theory.
The museum is part of the
Biodiversity Institute, a very impor-
tant research unit. The institute is
the top in the nation in graduate
education in biodiversity research.
Ninety percent of the Biodiversity
Institutes funds are allocated to
research, said Humphrey. They
[researchers] are helping us under-
stand the biology of the planet and
how it is changing, and thats essen-
tial.
The museum offers a major pub-
lic science event every year during
spring break. Humphrey estimates
that about six months of planning
goes into each one, and last years
event attracted about 4,000 visitors.
This years event is The Science
of Sound. Have you ever wondered
why you sound better when you sing
in the shower? Are you curious to
see a wave of propane-fueled flame
used to demonstrate frequency and
amplitude? Here is your chance
to learn. The demonstrations and
activities take place from 10 a.m. to
3 p.m. March 17 to 22 and are free to
the public.

DEMOCRATIC DEBATE
Clinton, Obama disagree
on Cuba, health care
AUSTIN, Texas Hillary Clinton
accused Democratic presidential
rival Barack Obama of political
plagiarism Thursday night and said
he represented change you can
Xerox.
Obama dismissed the charge
out of hand, adding in a campaign
debate, What we shouldnt be do-
ing is tearing each other down, we
should be lifting the country up.
The exchange marked an
unusually pointed moment in an
otherwise civil encounter in the
days before March 4 primaries in
Texas and Ohio contests that
even some of Clintons supporters
said she must win to sustain her
campaign.
In a university auditorium in
Texas, the two agreed that high-
tech surveillance measures were
preferable to construction of a
fence to stop illegal immigration.
They disagreed on the proper
response to a change in govern-
ment in Cuba in the wake of Fidel
Castros resignation. Clinton said
she refused to sit down with
incoming President Raul Castro
until he implemented political and
economic reforms. Obama said he
would meet without precondi-
tions, but added the U.S. agenda
for such a session would include
human rights in the island nation.
They also sparred about health
care.
Clinton said that Obamas plan
would leave 15 million Americans
uncovered.
But he accused the former rst
lady of mishandling the issue by
working in secrecy when her hus-
band was in the White House.
Clinton sidestepped a question
about so-called superdelegates.
She said the issue would sort itself
out.
But Obama, who has won more
primaries and caucuses said the
contests must count for some-
thing ... that the will of the voters
... is what ultimately will determine
who our next nominee is going to
be.

MONROVIA, Liberia President
Bush offered encouragement and
help Thursday to lift this shattered
country from years of ruinous fight-
ing as he concluded a tour of Africa
and turned toward other global
problems.
In Liberia, the final stop on Bushs
five-country trip, almost nothing
works and people are nervous about
their future in the aftermath of a 14-
year civil war that ended in 2003.
The country is overrun with
weapons, malnutrition is pervasive,
half of children are not in school,
and many buildings are uninhabit-
able. There is little running water or
electricity and no sewage or landline
phone system.
Its easier to tear a country down
than it is to rebuild a country, Bush
said. And the people of this good
country must understand the United
States will stand with you as you
rebuild your country.
Though Bushs entourage was
a bit jittery about his seven-hour
stopover, Liberias president, Ellen
Johnson Sirleaf,
declared at one
point, Youre
safe.
Bush used his
five-country trek
to showcase how
billions in aid
and diplomatic
engagement are
improving the
everyday lives of people across the
continent.
Though each nation he visited
already receives huge amounts of
assistance, Bush had new announce-
ments for Africa ready to drop at
each stop:
Ghana, $350 million to battle
tropical diseases across the develop-
ing world.
Rwanda, $100 million to train
and equip African peacekeepers
going to Sudan.
Tanzania, a $700 million devel-
opment compact and help providing
an anti-malaria bed net for every
child between
1 and 5 in that
country.
Benin, $6
million for text-
books, teacher
training and
s c hol ar s hi ps .
Liberia: 1 mil-
lion textbooks
and 10,000 desks
by the start of the next school year.
Liberia, founded by freed
American slaves, offered an oppor-
tunity to trumpet a success in Bushs
freedom agenda, which faces an
uncertain future in Iraq and many
other nations.
Were working to heal the wounds
of war, and strengthen democracy,
and build a new armed forces that
will be a source of security for the
Liberian people instead of a source
of terror, the president said.
Liberias civil strife brought
unspeakable violence. Hundreds
of thousands were massacred, boys
were conscripted as soldiers to com-
mit horrifying atrocities against
countrymen, and the diamond trade
was hijacked to finance fighting.
At the center of the problem was
one-time rebel warlord and dictator
Charles Taylor.
As the crisis escalated in 2003,
the United States imposed sanctions.
Liberias deterioration dominated
Bushs trip to Africa that year, and
on his return to Washington, the
president offered logistical support
for peacekeepers mostly offshore
and arriving after Taylor fled into
exile in Niger.
The U.S. has since helped a tran-
sition government hold elections,
supported Sirleaf s new government,
and funneled millions in aid, includ-
ing funding for the modernization
of Liberias security forces from the
ground up, as White House spokes-
man Gordon Johndroe put it.
Sirleaf responded by calling the
United States Liberias No. 1 part-
ner. She seemed proud that so many
thousands of her flag-waving citi-
zens lined this capital citys pock-
marked, intensely poor streets for
Bushs visit.
It is befitting that we acknowl-
edge with thanks the key role that
the United States has played and
continues to play in helping to end
our civil crisis, said Sirleaf. The
U.S.-educated economist once sup-
ported Taylor against a former mil-
itary dictator, but she now earns
accolades as the first female head of
state in Africa who is presiding over
peace and a growing economy.

Cadue said.
Mel Cadue, Kens wife, said she
would accompany Ken on his trips if
he wanted her to because she could
not imagine what he would do all
evening if she did not. She said their
three daughters, ages 16, 18 and 19,
thought the business was a good
idea, but that she was unsure what to
think about it.
I just said, really, thats inter-
esting, Mel said. He seems like
a chauffeur-like person because he
gets along with people really well.
I told him if he was going to be a
chauffeur or something, he needs to
get a suit.
Cadue said he would advertise
through business cards and through
word of mouth on his bus. Cadue
said that so far, students responses
to his business had been favorable.
Cadue said every student he had
talked to had complained that taxi-
cabs and Safe ride took at least an
hour to pick them up. Cadue said
they found that frustrating, and they
said they would be interested in
using his service for transportation
inside of Lawrence as well as else-
where.
John Kuhn, Jamestown senior,
said he thought establishing reliable
transportation between Lawrence
and Kansas City at night was impor-
tant but he was not sure if a Hummer
was the way to do it.
The Hummer is ridiculous
because its not fuel efficient, Kuhn
said. Its a horrible status symbol
and manifestation of materialist cul-
ture.
Jason Oruch, Plano, Texas, junior
and former risk manager of Alpha
Epsilon Pis Brothers Against Drunk
Driving, said he thought Cadues
business was a good idea because he
did not think it was safe for students
to be driving drunk for an hour. He
also said the business was well priced
when the costs were divided up.
I think its funny, but its very
unique, Oruch said. Most college
students do not have Hummers.

Wizards meet, greet in Lawrence
By ANDREW WIEBE
awiebe@kansan.com
Tonight at Abe and Jakes
Landing, University of Kansas
students will get the opportunity
to mingle with Kansas City pro-
fessional athletes. They wont be
Chiefs or Royals, but those familiar
with football of the international
variety will be able to socialize
with Major League Soccers Kansas
City Wizards.
Players and staff will be at Abe
and Jakes to interact with fans and
introduce themselves to Lawrence,
said Rob Thomson, 2001 University
graduate and Wizards vice president
of marketing and communications.
Wizards players Ryan McMahen,
Tyson Wahl, Eric Kronberg and
Amir Lowery will compete in a
foosball tournament. The team will
also stage merchandise giveaways.
Thomson said the club wants
to reach out to college students to
expose them to the club and the
efforts its making to extend its
reach into communities outside
of Kansas City. The Wizards had
a similar event last year at Kansas
Citys Voodoo Lounge to introduce
its players to the community.
Our biggest asset is that our
players are approachable, fun and
great to be around, Thomson said.
They are tremendous athletes,
but are also just like your college
buddies off the field.
Jacob Shinn,
Kansas City,
Mo., junior,
and member
of the KU club
soccer team,
said he was a
Wizards fan but
wasnt aware
the team would
be making an
appearance in
Lawrence. He
said there was
a good chance he would attend,
but that it would be nice to have
it advertised better to people who
dont necessarily follow the team
during the off-season.
Its a good thing, Shinn said.
People need to start going to
games and if they start knowing
the players and who they are, that
will probably help.
The Wizards last appearance in
Lawrence was in 1999 when United
States national team legends Alexi
Lalas and Tony Meola played a
concert for area fans. The club also
has extensive ties to the University
in its front
office staff. Ten
of the clubs
employees are
KU graduates
and many of
its best interns
hail from KU,
Thomson said.
The clubs
s u p p o r t e r s
group, The
Cauldron, is
home to many
KU students as well. Wahl, a third
year defender for the club, said
college-age fans in The Cauldron
play a large role in creating the
environment at games.
I think it really helps with the
excitement and just the energy
level of the stadium, Wahl said. I
think when The Cauldron is there
and you hear the drums and stuff
like that it makes you want to play
a little harder.
Thomson said with the club
moving to Community America
Ballpark for this season, it was
trying to provide activities col-
lege fans would enjoy. The team
will provide bus rides to and from
games, party decks at the stadium
and postgame parties at Legends.
We provide a great gameday
experience and the atmosphere at
games is perfect for college-aged
fans, Thomson said.
Despite soccers place behind
more traditional sports like foot-
ball and baseball, Shinn said there
were enough fans to make the
event worthwhile.
Lawrence has a lot of soccer
fans so its not like they are com-
ing out here with no hope, Shinn
said.
G. newman Lowrance/Kansas City Wizards
the Kansas City Wizards soccer teamheld a meet and greet in 2007 at the Voodoo Lounge in Kansas City, Mo., giving fans the opportunity to come out and get together with their favorite players.
Fans will get that chance once again tonight when the Wizards come to Abe and Jakes Landing.

Jacci Chanon was studying in her
bedroom Monday night when three
of her sorority sisters burst through
the door.
They were saying that everyone
got a 100 percent on our biology test,
Chanon, Austin, Tex., sophomore,
said.
A visit to the BlackBoard page for
her Principles of Biology class con-
firmed it perfect scores for every-
one.
Chanon was one of the 923 students
in Biology 100 to score a 100 percent
on Mondays exam because the clicker
system in Budig Hall crashed.
Nancy Holcroft, lecturer of Biology,
said she used the clicker system for the
class exam to cut down on paper waste
associated with ScanTron tests.
The clickers, designed by eInstruc-
tion, crashed after the last student
finished taking the test.
Holcroft made the decision to score
everyone equally on the test after it
became apparent that all of the test
scores were erased.
Knowing that 900 exam scores
have just disappeared into the ether
is not a particularly nice sensation,
Holcroft said.
Susan Zvacek, director of
Instructional Development and
Support, said it was still unclear what
caused the system to crash. She said
the clickers in Budig Hall never mal-
functioned during a test before.
Any time class equipment behaves
erratically it is a huge concern for us,
Zvacek said.
She said Instructional Development
and Support would work with eIn-
struction to get a sense of why the
system crashed and how to prevent it
from happening again.
Jessica Nadine, North Hampton,
Mass., junior, was among the students
who notched a perfect test score. She
said the clicker malfunction was a
stroke of good luck.
I had a paper due that day so, hon-
estly, I only studied for about an hour
right before the test, Nadine said. Its
a bummer for those who studied really
hard, though.
Holcroft said the clickers would still
be used in class for extra credit points,
but all future exams would be taken
with ScanTron sheets.
In the end, its really a shame, she
said. Im not a Luddite, and this really
is promising technology. However, in
this case, the technology failed and Im
not willing to put students grades on
the line like that again any time soon.

10 is the easiest day, 0 the most chal-
lenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
today is a 6
Your friends are supportive, but theres
not much they can do to help you out.
This jobs up to you to complete. Avoid
distractions.
tAurus (April 20-May 20)
today is an 8
Dont make expensive promises, even
to people you love. Dont gamble,
either; with these conditions you could
lose your shirt. Dont even go to the
mall.
GeMini (May 21-June 21)
today is a 5
It may be difcult to keep your pas-
sions under control. Youd really like to
scream at a person who wont follow
your suggestion. Resist that tempta-
tion.
CAnCer (June 22-July 22)
today is a 7
If at frst you dont succeed, and you
probably wont, try and try and try
again. More has been gained through
persistence than any other means.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
today is a 5
You really dont like to budget. You
should be entitled to get whatever you
want whenever you want. But thats
not happening yet. No whining; suck
it up.
VirGo (Aug. 23-sept. 22)
today is an 8
Some people think its funny to make
jokes at anothers expense. Dont let
that type bother you for even a mo-
ment. Dont stoop to their level.
LibrA (sept. 23-oct. 22)
today is a 5
People who are naturally tense will be
even more so now. This isnt necessarily
you, but you could be surrounded by
them. Be a calming infuence.
sCorpio (oct. 23-nov. 21)
today is an 8
You can keep from provoking petty
jealousies. If two people you care about
get to fghting, youre the one who
gets beaten up. Give each your full
attention.
sAGittArius (nov. 22-Dec. 21)
today is a 5
Stay out of the argument as much as
possible. Theres not much you can do
with people who arent paying atten-
tion. Its OK to slip away unnoticed.
CApriCorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
today is an 8
A plan doesnt work, partially because
of insufcient data. Instead of moving
forward, collect more information.
Dont be pushed into making a poor
choice.
AquArius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
today is a 6
Its never easy to turn down a loved
one who wants an expensive toy. You
can do it, though. Itll get easier with
practice.
pisCes (Feb. 19-March 20)
today is a 7
Its your turn to state your opinion. A
critic forces you to explain carefully,
with logic and good statistics. You can
do this, and you will.

Commentary
Idea of American dream has failed
Commentary
Two-party politics lean toward fascism
Tyler Doehring
It was only a couple of weeks
ago that the Britney Spears drama
unfolding during the last year came
to a head when she lost custody of
her children to ex-husband Kevin
Federline.
Shortly after the ruling, Spears
checked into the hospital, but it was
even sooner that she checked out
(less than a week later).
Britneys collapse is no surprise,
though.
Her lost custody battle comes
after a stand-off with police and an
even more bizarre series of events
leading up to it.
In fact, in just a year Britney has
shaved her head, been in and out
of rehab, started wearing increas-
ingly outlandish dress (see official
Web site and MTV music awards)
and perhaps most extreme, insists
she is not simply another medio-
cre washed-up pop star (two studio
albums in the last six years after one
each year from 1999 to 2001).
In just a decade, Britney has gone
from pop princess to deranged diva
from the spotlight to the high-
beam headlights. Now shes staring
at the lights.
One of these lights is the one the
media are shining on her, but the
other is the one she shines on herself
her pitiful narcissistic cries that
insist, Im not old news!
Her extreme behavior supports
this.
Britney is on the verge of rivaling
Courtney Love for ridiculous and
shocking public behavior. She is like
a child nagging for dessert, and like
bad parents, the media have given
her unlimited Ben & Jerrys. She
is growing fatter, uglier and more
annoying because of it.
However, this story is not about
Britney its about the failure of the
American dream.
Fame has taken its toll on the
innocent schoolgirl we were intro-
duced to in 1999.
As singer/songwriter Nick Drake
once said, Fame is but a fruit tree,
so very unsung.
Seeking fame is not unique, but
acquiring it is.
The irony is that Spears has
attained the fame, but it has not let
her escape her misery. In fact, it has
only isolated her more.
Again though, her situation is not
unique. First look at other famous
people. There are plenty examples of
meltdowns: Start with famous writ-
ers.
Whats disturbing is that people
still look up to her and people like
Britney or that people still believe
fame (or the money that comes with
it) will solve all their problems.
There is no one solution to all
lifes problems. If you think there is,
then youre addicted to something.
Yet we are the ones addicted to
this rags to riches story this fable
beaten into us since about age 6.
Why do we seek it?
A former government teacher
said, Getting rich just frees up time
for you to spend thinking about your
problems.
It was at that moment when she
lost custody of her children that
Britney reached the pinnacle of her
fame.
She reached the top of the moun-
tain, but when she looked around
she found she was the only one
there, but it meant nothing because
there was no one there to share it
with.
Mangiaracina is a Lenexa
senior in journalism.
History is full of government con-
trol mechanisms, when limitations
are placed on individuals or societies
for different reasons and justifica-
tions.
America was built on a demo-
cratic idea meant to minimize these
mechanisms and their effects on the
lives of its citizens, and, in doing so,
increase freedom for the individual
and theoretically the entire
population.
Ironically, the two-party system
that is popular in the United States
that has grown out of this idea is
proving to be a highly evolved exam-
ple of a control mechanism.
The danger inherent in the two-
party system lies not only in placing
an enormous amount of power in
fewer hands, but it also drastically
reduces our options and limits our
freedom.
Compare freedom to the rapid
sophistication video games have
undergone.
When I was a child, I was satisfied
with moving my 64-bit Mario from
left to right in a two-dimensional
world, bonking his head on bricks
for mushrooms and fire-flowers.
As technology and I have
improved, my experience has evolved
to include acquiring undreamt
of amounts of freedom, in digital
worlds where I can exist in life-
like situations, performing deeds of
renown or unspeakable evil.
When I play the newer generation
of games, I now have options: I can
move Mario in any direction and
make a broader range of choices. I
can even wear different clothing.
But were still playing Mario,
people.
The freedom of choice arises from
our ability to choose among a num-
ber of options available.
The difference between having
many options and only one is the dif-
ference between being free or not.
The assertion that a two-party
democracy is a sham isnt that radi-
cal an idea. It is simply a call for real
democracy.
The form of democracy in the
United States has become a parody
of democracy; a farce, where all the
actions, regulations and hand-rais-
ing signs of real democracy are pres-
ent, but the beauty of the freedom to
choose our own leaders is cheapened
by falsely limiting our options to two
political parties.
We are so enslaved to our comfort
zone that any talk of a third party
draws condemnation from citizens
who mindlessly follow the status
quo.
A two-party democracy is only
one party away from fascism, espe-
cially when the actions of one party
cant be distinguished from the
other.
On college campuses, where ideas
like freedom and justice still bloom,
the call for real democracy should
sound the loudest.
Instead, the constituents furiously
engage in the struggle to maintain
the status quo in this age group.
I mourn the misplaced ideol-
ogy of young idealists who believe
change is imminent in the current
system.
In four years, theyll be jaded real-
ists, and thats the real tragedy.
I refuse to believe the American
people are not diverse enough,
multi-faceted enough or creative
enough to have as the reflection of
our will and fortitude a measly two
organizations of questionable vitality
and democratic merit.
That we allow ourselves to be so
limited is astounding, if not down-
right shameful.

BELGRADE, Serbia Angry
Serbs broke into the U.S. Embassy
and set fire to an office Thursday
night as rioters rampaged through
Belgrades streets, introducing vio-
lence to a day of mass protest against
Western support for an independent
Kosovo.
At least 150,000 people rallied in
Belgrade, waving Serbian flags and
signs proclaiming Stop USA terror,
to denounce the bid by Kosovos
ethnic Albanian majority to create
their own state out of what Serbs
consider the ancient heartland of
their culture.
Protesters burned American
flags and the mob that attacked
the embassy tore down the U.S.
flag there. Crowds also ransacked
a McDonalds, looted stores and
fought with police in front of other
diplomatic compounds in a display
of the resentment seething in Serbia
over the secession of what has been
its southernmost province.
A charred body was found in the
U.S. Embassy after the fire was put
out, but all staff were accounted for,
embassy spokeswoman Rian Harris
said. Belgrades Pink TV said the
body appeared to be that of a rioter.
White House spokesman Dana
Perino strongly criticized Serbias
government, saying the embassy
was attacked by thugs and Serb
police didnt do enough to stop it.
State Department spokesman Sean
McCormack said the U.S. warned
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav
Kostunica and Foreign Minister Vuk
Jeremic that it would hold them
personally responsible for further
damage.
At the mass rally earlier, Kostunica
attacked the U.S. and others for sup-
porting Kosovos independence. Is
there any other nation on Earth
from whom (the great powers) are
demanding that they give up their
identity, to give up our brothers in
Kosovo? he said.
Coming after smaller outbursts
of violence in Belgrade as well as
attacks on a United Nations building
and police checkpoints in Kosovo,
the surge of rioting underlined the
determination of Serbs not to give
up Kosovo quietly.
The Serbian government has said
it wont resort to military force, but
the street violence could be a tactic
to slow moves by more countries to
follow the U.S., Britain, Germany
and France in quickly recognizing
Kosovos independence.
Russia and China lead the states
standing with Serbia, worrying that
Kosovos example could encour-
age separatist sentiment elsewhere.
The Kremlin has underlined its dis-
pleasure by hinting it might back
separatists in pro-Western nations
such as the former Soviet republic
of Georgia.
Serbian officials dismissed vio-
lence earlier in the week as insignif-
icant, and no police were guarding
the U.S. Embassy compound even
though it had been targeted previ-
ously. American officials said the
offices had been closed at midday
because of security concerns.
Milorad Veljovic, a top Interior
Ministry official, said that security
forces had the situation under con-
trol and that mobs had been broken
up.
Masked men smashed their way
inside the compounds consular
building, tore down the U.S. flag
and tried to throw furniture from
an office. They set fire to the office
and flames shot up the side of the
building.
The State Department officials
said no protesters got into the
embassys main chancery section, a
separate area that was manned by
a U.S. Marine guard unit and some
security personnel.
Police arrived about 45 minutes
after the blaze broke out, and after
the rioters left the building. A half-
dozen fire trucks also appeared and
quickly doused the flames, leaving
the front facade and two police guard
posts on the sidewalk smoldering.
Officers from an elite paramili-
tary police unit drove armored jeeps
outside the embassy and fired doz-
ens of tear gas canisters to disperse
the crowd. Rioters wheeled out large
garbage bins in an unsuccessful
attempt to block the police vehicles.
Thick clouds of tear gas obscured
hung in the street as officers chased
rioters into nearby side streets.
It was the first attack on a U.S.
Embassy since Sept. 12, 2006, when
Syrian security guards stopped an
attempt to blow up the compound.
The last time a mob broke into one
was the Iranians seizure of the U.S.
Embassy on Nov. 4, 1979, taking
American staffers hostage.
Critics of the prime minister
accused his government of tolerating
the violence over Kosovo, perhaps
as an excuse to crack down on pro-
Western forces in the country.
I cannot tell if the authorities
are going to allow this to escalate,
and how long they will let this go
on, but it is absolutely clear that it is
all under their control, said Vesna
Pesic from the pro-Western Liberal
Democratic Party whose offices also
have been attacked.

Editors note: Its an unwritten
rule in the mascot world to always
conceal your identity. Its kind of
like a Superman/Clark Kent thing,
Spirit Squad
C o o r d i n a t o r
C a t h e r i n e
J a r z e mk o s k i
said. Therefore,
students in this
article remain
anonymous for
their protection.
Sport fans feel like they know
him. Between the high fives and the
occasional noogie, students bond
with Big Jay like an older brother.
However, theres a lot more to the
mascot than feathers and a beak.
There are four students keep-
ing Big Jays secret. They are two
junior and two senior men sharing
one identity. The men who rotate
being Big Jay are like a brotherhood
with traveling
pants. Theyve
shared some of
the unwritten
rules to their
otherwise confi-
dential lives as a
mascot.
Rule No. 1:
Sweat until the job is done.
The suit is 30-40 degrees hotter
than the temperature outside of the
suit. Even your ears perspire. Once
you are the mascot for a while, you
learn to sweat on command. We
have one of the biggest heads in the
nation, so it is one of the toughest
suits to wear. We dont have percep-
tion of where our beak is, so we
beak people, junior No. 1 said. I
take out at least three kids a game,
on accident of course, senior No.
1 said.
Rule No. 2: Keep the secret.
The suit probably weighs 50
pounds, even more when its all
soaked in sweat. The suit stays in
the nest. The whereabouts of this
nest will not be disclosed, senior
No. 2 said.
Rule No. 3: Drink profusely.
Hydrating before the game is
like a job. We wake up a couple
hours before the game to start
drinking water or Gatorade. Also,
no eating Chipotle before you get
in the suit, junior No. 1 said.
Rule No. 4: Be creativeand
then some.
We dont lose. But if we do, it is
hard to keep the crowd going when
everybody is so down, Junior No.
2 said. Really what it comes down
to is that you all have to get along
together. I mean you have to be
creative and good at what you do
but we all get along so well and
thats what makes it so much bet-
ter, senior No. 2 said.
Rule No. 5: Follow the fans.
Its a huge time commitment.
Volleyball, womens basketball,
anywhere there are fans we are
there. What people dont realize is
that there are also charity events,
grocery store appearances, birth-
days, weddings, funerals,
junior No. 1 said.
Rule No. 6: Its all
about the children.
We love kids. The
best thing is giving a
little kid a hug that
is just so happy to
meet you. He just
smiles and wants a
high five or something.
The worst part is
disappointing them
when theyre wait-
ing in line and we
have to go. Yeah,
the best part about
the job is definite-
ly the kidsand
the Rock Chalk
Dancers, senior
No. 1 said.
Rule No. 7:
Live the dream.
Ive wanted to be
a mascot since junior
high and I didnt
make the team. I
didnt make it as a
Spartan. Now being
Big Jay is that much
sweeter, junior No. 2. My
favorite part about basket-
ball is running out with the
team, at the four minute
mark, it gets you so hyped
up, junior No. 1 said.
Rule No. 8: Vote
online every day.
To celebrate the f i r s t
NCAA football on the Wii they
decided to put a college team mas-
cot on the cover by having fans
vote for their favorite. Go to www.
easports.com/ncaa09 and vote for
Big Jay. It all ends on March 14, so
vote every day or more on different
computers. We went to the library
and voted five times at once. It
would just be the perfect culmina-
tion of Orange Bowl and basketball
victory, junior No. 2 said.
Rule No. 9: Being Big Jay is
always worth it.
Going to the game
as a human is awe-
some. But going as
the mascot is the
best. You dont get
to watch most of
the game, people
watch you, junior
No. 1 said. Our par-
ents think its cool
that were this big,
fluffy bird, but the
fact that were so
close to athletics
and we can travel
with football and
basket bal l were
going to remember
that stuff for a life-
time. I mean you cant
beat the Orange Bowl,
junior No. 2 said.
Rule No. 10:
There is only one
Big Jay.
Were all so close
this year our program has
been the best its been in
the past 4-5 years. You got
to be able to fit in or else
you arent going to want
the same person wear-
ing the suit as you. We
have to be the same
person, senior No.
2 said. Yeah, I get
excited when I see
Big Jay on TV because
thats me. No matter who is in the
suit, we are one Big Jay.

More than 800 students from
elementary school through high
school explore the School of
Engineerings annual Expo today
and Saturday at the University of
Kansas.
The event, called Engineering
Expo 2008: Planet Engineering,
features exhibits and activities con-
tributed by various departments
from the school.
Melody Redburn, Wichita soph-
omore and co-coordinator of the
Expo, said the event, which was
free and open to the public, would
introduce younger students to the
variety of work engineers could do.
She said the Expo would also
help recruit juniors and seniors in
high school to
the School of
Engineering.
Among the
exhibits devised
for this years
Engi ne e r i ng
Expo is a bicy-
cl e - powe r e d
LED display
built by Theta
Tau, an engi-
neering frater-
nity.
Participants in the exhibit can
peddle on the bicycle to generate
electricity that powers an electric
Jayhawk display.
Reece McHenry, Wichita soph-
omore, said students from the
department of chemical engineer-
ing would host a volcano-building
contest. Students entered in the
contest can build their own plaster
volcanoes that erupt when baking
soda and vinegar are mixed inside
the volcano.
McHenry, also an Expo co-coor-
dinator, said the event was unique
because it encouraged elementary
and middle school classes to work
creatively in teams and compete in
activities like the volcano contest.
Redburn said this years Expo
would also have a green theme.
Green has been a major empha-
sis in government policy and
engineering, Redburn said. We
thought it would be fun to educate
kids a little about the environmen-
tally friendly side of things.
Francis Pamatmat, Olathe
sophomore and member of the
Engineering Student Council, said
the Expos
a c t i v i t i e s
would make it
a fun event for
kids and would
provide good
exposure for
the School of
Engineering.
Pamat mat
said guest
speaker Daniel
Valero would
bolster the events environmental
theme.
Valero, a University alumnus,
worked with the Environmental
Protection Agency to lead an inves-
tigation into air pollution in New
York City after the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks.
Redburn said she was confident
the variety of activities and exhibits
at this years Expo would make it a
hit with attendees.
I think that we could probably
give previous years a run for their
money, she said.
The Engineering Expo takes
place in Learned and Eaton halls
today from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on
Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The last two games for Oklahoma State
may have come as a sigh of relief for coach
Sean Sutton. After coming off its worst start
in over two decades, the Oklahoma State
mens basketball team finally won at home
against a solid Baylor team and on the road
against then-AP No. 16 ranked Texas A&M.
Oklahoma States victory over Texas A&M
was its first regular season road victory in
two years, and first road victory for Sutton.
It all started in the Allen Fieldhouse for
Sutton. The Cowboys came to Kansas last
January as hot a team as anyone in the coun-
try. Coming into the game they were ranked
No. 10 in the AP poll with a 15-1 record.
Sutton was halfway into his first season as
a head coach after his father Eddie Sutton
stepped down and deemed his son succes-
sor. It looked as if Sean was well on his way
to establishing himself as a coach, just as his
father had done.
But things turned around really quickly
for the then-rookie coach. The Jayhawks
cruised to an 87-57 victory. They were beat
fundamentally in every aspect of their game.
Whether it was rebounding, field goal per-
centage or turnovers, the Cowboys strug-
gled. As a team, Oklahoma State turned the
ball over 20 times. The Jayhawks, on the
other hand, had 17 steals combined and 9
blocked shots. There was no way to sugar
coat things for Sutton.
That was an old-fashioned butt kicking,
he said after the game.
After this, things would become worse
before getting better. The Cowboys finished
22-13 (6-10) in the 2006-2007 season. The
final loss of the season came to Marist in the
first round of the NIT 64-67.
A team that was ranked No. 10 in the
country had completely fallen apart. In the
three seasons before Sutton took over for
Oklahoma State, the team had gone 74-26
including a Final Four appearance in 2004.
Sutton came into the 2007-08 season
optimistic.
Ill be better this year than I was last
year and hopefully next year Ill be better
than I was this year, Sutton said on Big 12
media day.
But things did not get better for Sutton
and the Cowboys. Oklahoma State started
the season 10-11 in its first 21 regular season
games, which is the teams worst start since

Theres no doubt Kansas has depth this
season. The question is: Do the Jayhawks
have balance?
On the mound, five of the six Jayhawks
in line to start a bulk of the games are left-
handed. In Kansas everyday lineup, six of
the nine hitters bat from the right side.
The hope for coach Ritch Price is that a
mainly southpaw staff will give Kansas an
edge in a number of ways, and a right-hand-
heavy lineup will give the Jayhawks a home
field advantage.
The few left-handed hitters Price plans
to use freshman catcher Jimmy Waters,
senior right fielder Ryne Price, sophomore
second baseman Robby Price and senior first
baseman Justin Ellrich will suffice as far as
Price is concerned.
Im a big fan of left-handed hitters, Price
said. We dont have as many as weve had
in the past, but I think with Waters, Ryne,
Robby and Ellrich, theres four pretty good
left-handed hitters in that mix.
Ryne and Robby figure to be in the lineup
at all times, but Waters and Ellrich will
share time at designated hitter and may sit
out some games in favor of a right-handed
teammate. Price said having so many right-
handed hitters could be advantageous at
Hoglund Ballpark because the wind often
blows out to left field, where right-handed
hitters pull most pitches.
Its actually more conducive at our place
to be a right-handed hitter than a left-hand-
ed hitter most of the time, Price said.
That being the case, even more impor-
tance will be placed on the left arms of Prices
starting pitchers. Opponents will already be
inclined to stack their lineups with right-
handed hitters against an all-lefty rotation,
Right-handed hitters provide edge for team this season

Self returns to alma mater for game
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
Four years ago Kansas coach Bill Self
walked into Gallagher-Iba Arena. Self
a 1985 Oklahoma State graduate was
returning to his alma mater for the first
time as the coach at Kansas. Self saw old
friends, toured new facilities and was
showered with adulation.
Then the game started.
The first time I went down there I
did a terrible job, Self said. His Jayhawks
were crushed 80-60.
Self, who played at Oklahoma State
from 1982-85 and coached as assis-
tant from 1986-93, returns to Stillwater,
Okla., again on Saturday.
In 2004, Self had to deal with the
distractions that go along with going
home.
I put myself in position to see a lot
of people, Self said.
This time around, Self has to deal
with other issues.
Oklahoma States Sean Sutton
replaced his father, Eddie, during the
middle of last season, and so far, the
results have been mixed. Sutton is 13-12
in his first full season, after coaching
the Cowboys to a 5-6 record last season
during the absence of his father.
With Oklahoma State struggling, the
blogs, rumor-mills and fan message boards
were flooded with speculation about the
future of the Oklahoma State head coach-
ing position.
Oklahoma State fans are curious.
Would Bill Self ever want to return to his
alma mater?
Its not something that is even worth
talking about, Self said yesterday at his
weekly press conference. Its a dead issue.
Its not gonna happen.
Its not surprising Oklahoma State fans
would be interested in Self. After leaving
Oklahoma State, Self led three different
programs Tulsa, Illinois and Kansas
to Elite Eight appearances, and gained
a reputation as an excellent recruiter. Its
also not surprising that the speculation
would grab the attention of Kansas fans,
after Roy Williams returned home to his
alma mater, North Carolina, in 2003.
But Self said he hadnt paid any atten-
tion to the rumors.
He said he wasnt much for reading
blogs, but he had newspaper writers from
Oklahoma request interviews to ask about
the speculation. Self respectfully declined.
I really think its an injustice to their
present staff, Self said.
Self served as assistant coach for Eddie
Sutton for three years coaching Sean
Sutton for two of those years.
They deserve every chance to do as
well as they possibly can do, Self said.
Right now the focus isnt on returning
home, but rather making sure Kansas stays
atop the Big 12 Conference. Kansas is tied
at 9-2 with Texas. A loss at Oklahoma
State would damper Kansas hopes for a
fourth consecutive regular season Big 12
title.
Those 11 years that Self spent in
Stillwater those are behind him.
That hasnt been home for me in a long
time, Self said.
In the end, Self. who will coach his fifth
game at Gallagher-Iba Arena as the visit-
ing coach, said Saturday was just another
road game. The old friends, the lunch
dates, even his relatives they can wait.
You need to focus to do the job, as
opposed to making sure that youre friend-
ly with everybody, Self said. There wont
be any social things for me until after this
game is over, Self said.

The Jayhawks will go up against the Cowboys saturday in stillwater, okla., bringing kansas coach Bill self back to his
alma mater of oklahoma state university.
Collins has sore knee
Bill Self said Sherron Collins hadnt
been able to practice this week. Col-
lins is still sufering from a bruised
knee he aggravated in practice last
week. Collins said he was expected
to play on Saturday.
Its just a little nagging injury and
Im trying not to get it hit again,
Collins said. Kansas didnt practice
Sunday, Collins was held out of
practice Monday and Tuesday, and
Self gave the Jayhawks Wednesday
of, too.
Hopefully hell be able to go before
the game this
Saturday, Self
said. Self said Col-
lins hadnt been
able to partici-
pate in any drills,

Still, Self didnt
want to call Col-

Cowboys face upsetting season
Catcher leads team
kEllY BREckUNITcH
kbreckunitch@kansan.com
A catcher has a lot to do with the out-
come of any softball game. They position
themselves behind
home plate, where
they can see the entire
field and be part of
all the action. Elle
Pottorf, junior catcher,
takes pride in that and
tries to contribute as
best she can as a team
leader for the Kansas
Jayhawks.
Pottorf has played softball for a long
time. She said she started when she was
about 6 years old.
I was always really big into sports
because I had four other brothers and I
was the only girl, she said.
Pottorf said that after she began play-
ing softball, her stepfather began to see
her talent.
My stepdad saw that me and some of
my other friends had potential, she said.
Pottorf said her stepfather put together
a competitive traveling team after notic-
ing her talent.
Pottorf continued to play through high
school and to perform well. Pottorf
said she verbally committed to Kansas
very early, in her sophomore year of
high school. She said the University of
Missouri, the University of Nebraska and
the University of South Carolina were all
still trying to recruit her after she had
committed to Kansas.
But there was a reason she chose the
Jayhawks.
I met with the coaches and just had
an instant connection with them and
felt very comfortable with them, Pottorf
said.

The Cleveland Cavaliers gave
LeBron James the help he wants
maybe enough to compete for a
new ring.
The Cavaliers took part in the
biggest trade of deadline day, land-
ing center Ben Wallace and swing-
man Wally Szczerbiak on Thursday
in a three-team deal with Chicago
and Seattle.
Wallace provides the Cavs with
rebounding, shot blocking and play-
off experience. Szczerbiaks outside
shooting could make teams pay for
double-teaming James, the NBAs
leading scorer.
There were four other deals, end-
ing a busy trading season that includ-
ed the earlier blockbusters involving
Pau Gasol, Shaquille ONeal and
Jason Kidd. Those players all went
to Western Conference powers, and
the New Orleans Hornets completed
a deal they hope proves they are one
of them.
The Hornets acquired Bonzi Wells
and Mike James from Houston, add-
ing depth to their bench for the
stretch run. New Orleans dealt
Bobby Jackson to the Rockets, where
he was reunited with Rick Adelman,
his old coach in Sacramento. Adam
Haluska also went to Houston in
the deal.
The bolder move was made by the
Cavs, who went to the NBA finals
last year but are well behind Boston
and Detroit in the East this season.
The Cavaliers sent guard Larry
Hughes, forwards Drew Gooden and
Cedric Simmons, and guard Shannon
Brown to Chicago for Wallace, and
forward Joe Smith.
Cleveland acquired the sharp-
shooting Szczerbiak and guard
Delonte West from Seattle for for-
wards Ira Newble and Donyell
Marshall. The SuperSonics will
receive guard Adrian Griffin from
the Bulls.
Wallace was a disappointment
after leaving Detroit, where he was
the defensive anchor of the 2004
NBA champions, to sign a $60 mil-
lion, four-year contract with the Bulls
in 2006. The trade allows Chicago to
get out from under some of that.
He was a great teammate,
Chicagos Ben Gordon said. I think
he definitely helped us to get to the
second round of the playoffs last
season. I guess management felt that
they didnt reach expectations that
they wanted him to. Thats part of
the business.

the 1986-87 season. Until Oklahoma
State had beat Texas A&M on the
road, the team had lost 19 games on
the road since February 2006.
Meanwhile, Suttons brother
Scott has a good career going 70
miles away in Tulsa at Oral Roberts
University. This season, Oral Roberts
is 19-6 on top of the Summit League
Conference. Overall, Scott Sutton
is 163-108 since he became a head
coach in 1999 at Oral Roberts.
As Suttons team struggled, rumors
have swirled about Suttons coaching
job. The word on the street was that
billionaire T. Boone Pickens was to
offer Bill Self a substantial amount of
money to come to Oklahoma State,
his alma mater.
Though this rumor may have
caught attention of Oklahoma State
fans, Bill Self quickly shot it down in
a Big 12 teleconference Jan. 28.
If anyones speculating that, its
people not in-the-know at all, Self
said. Thats a dead issue.
Through nearly two seasons as a
coach at Oklahoma State, Sutton is
35-25 (10-17).
Oklahoma State will likely have its
hands full against Kansas Saturday,
but they might find solace in their
home court. Oklahoma State is 11-
2 in regular games this season at
Gallagher-Iba Arena.
POTTORF (continued from 1b)
Pottorf admitted her parents
were a factor, too. Pottorf said
her parents loved watching her
play, and being so close they
could come watch a lot of her
games.
Being able to participate in
the camps and getting indi-
vidual time with the coaches to
improve herself as a player was
a plus, Pottorf said.
Coach Tracy Bunge said that
the team voted on captains this
year. Pottorf said that in the
past the team and the coaches
were involved in that process,
but this year the decision was
put solely in the hands of the
team. Pottorf was named one of
the captains along with junior
shortstop Stevie Crisosto and
senior first baseman Addy
Lucero.
Being a captain means a lot
to Pottorf, and she does not
take it lightly.
I want to hold myself up to
high expectations and make a
great name for the program,
she said.
Pottorf, being a catcher, feels
very involved in the success of
the team.
We always have a say in a
lot of the decisions that go on
and I think that carries off the
field too in kind of a leadership
role, she said.
Pottorf also tried to gradu-
ally improve her game. She said
she was trying to improve her
consistency batting and to have
a better attitude at the plate.
Im trying to look at more
of the positives than the nega-
tive, she said.
Pottorf said the team is con-
tinually trying to improve from
game to game. The Jayhawks
are a young team with only
two seniors on the roster, but
Pottorf said everybody has
tried to improve to benefit the
team.
Our pitchers have really
done a great job offseason of
working hard, knowing that
theyre going to have to step up
this season, Pottorf said.
The Jayhawks won more
than 30 games last season, but
Bunge said that a team goal
was to win 40 games this sea-
son. The Jayhawks continue to
grow in the early part of the
season and are proving they
are not to be taken lightly.
I think we are proving our-
selves very well and showing
everybody that we are under-
rated and were going to do
what they dont expect us to
do, Pottorf said.
The Jayhawks started off
well with a tournament vic-
tory at the Central Florida
Invitational and three victories
at the UNLV Invitational with
two losses, each by only one
run in that tournament.
The team returned eight
starters and Pottorf said that
the team chemistry was great.
The Jayhawks compete in the
Houston Invitational tourna-
ment this weekend and look to
continue to prove themselves
on the diamond as they get
ready for the Big 12 Conference
season.
Just being expected to fin-
ish almost dead last in the con-
ference is more of an incentive
for us to break out of that
expectation, Pottorf said.

especially if the wind is at their backs.
However, Price feels his left-hand-
ers differ enough in style to throw
hitters off from game to game. In par-
ticular, Price said junior Sam Freeman
had the best fastball on the team,
which ranged from 88-93 mph, as
well as one of the best changeups on
the team. Junior Andy Marks, Price
continued, was more of a breaking
ball, changeup pitcher. The only other
pitcher Price mentioned was junior
Nick Czyz, who he said was working
on becoming a better control pitcher.
If the southpaws can pitch effec-
tively, Price said they could offer addi-
tional benefits.
Part of our plan is to try to contain
the left-handed hitters in our confer-
ence and control the running game,
Price said.
Of course, if its up to Jayhawk
hitters, theyll give their starting pitch-
ers plenty of wiggle room, no matter
which arm they throw with.
Senior shortstop Erik Morrison, a
right-handed hitter and proud of it,
said the goal for the Kansas offense
was to score six runs a game. But with
the depth he sees up and down the
order, Morrison said six was more of a
minimum than a maximum.
Were not going to be settling for
six runs a game, Morrison said. You
want to get up into double-digits. You
want to put teams away. You want
to step on their throat and put them
down. In this conference, everyones
so deep that anyone can come back.

Even with solid production
from its lineup and strong
outings from its rotation,
Kansas will rely just as much
on its bench and bullpen.
Defensively, Kansas will use
senior Matt Berner as its top
utility man, senior Justin
Ellrich could see some time at
frst base, senior Joe Southers
could get some action behind
the plate and senior Casey
Larson and freshman Brian
Heere will play some in the
outfeld. Ellrich and Southers
could also be rotated into the
designated hitter role, while
Larson may also be used as
a pinch runner. Senior Eric
Snowden will be Kansas
primary pinch hitter. In the
bullpen, senior righty Hiarali
Garcia, junior lefty Daniel Ma-
nos, sophomore right-hand-
ers Thomas Marcin and Brett
Bollman and freshman righty
T.J. Walz will be relied upon to
bridge the gap to closer Paul
Smyth.

and No. 10 Xavier rolled to its
ninth straight victory, 75-48 over

solidified their hold on first place
in the Atlantic 10 with one of their
more impressive performances.
B.J. Raymond went 5-of-6 for
13 points, making all three of his
three-point attempts in the first
half as Xavier took a 45-26 lead.
Brown finished with 13 points
and 11 rebounds, while Anderson
had 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Stanley Burrell filled in at point
guard when Lavender was on the
bench and had 12 assists.

Royals player on
the move again
By DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. Watching
Mark Teahen trotting into left field
can only mean one thing: a terrific
new left fielder will soon show up
in Kansas City.
Thats been the pattern ever
since Teahen made it to the big
leagues. No sooner does he settle
in at a position than somebody
comes along to give him the boot.
The lean, likable and exception-
ally athletic Teahen is working on
his third position in three years,
asked once again to learn a new
job because the Royals have given
away his old one.
Next year I think Ill try my
hand at shortstop and second
base, Teahen
deadpanned.
Most play-
ers try to find
a position, learn
how to play
it well, then
stretch their
careers out for
as long as they
can.
Thats what
Teahen had in
mind when the
Royals brought him up as a third
baseman in 2005. He batted a dis-
appointing .246 in 130 games but
the next year made a breathtaking
jump in slugging percentage, going
from .376 to .517. While playing a
solid defense, he batted .290 with
18 home runs and 69 RBIs.
But the next spring Alex Gordon,
a former first-round draft pick who
was long considered Kansas Citys
hottest minor league prospect, was
deemed ready for the bigs.
Gordons position was third
base, so Teahen was asked to move
to right field. It was a position
requiring skills that were radically
different from what he had used
as an infielder, but he was willing.
After a slow start, he caught on.
His strong, accurate arm turned
out to be an added asset. He ranked
second in the AL and tied the team
record with 17 outfield assists.
He thought he had found a
home and was relieved to hear the
Royals announce last winter that
Jose Guillen, whom they signed to
a rich free agent contract, would
play left field.
But a couple of weeks later
Guillen mentioned to someone at
the Royals fan fest that he was
going to insist on playing right
field.
Manager Trey Hillman, also at
the fan fest, along with a number
of players and front office execu-
tives, was sought out for a meeting
right there on the spot.
So when, Teahen was asked the
other day, did he find out he would
be moving to left?
At the fan fest, he said.
Kansas City obviously figured
that when its paying a guy $12
million a year a team record
its best to let him play whatever
corner outfield he prefers.
So now its off to a new position
for the versatile and always agree-
able Mark Teahen.
When I see them coming
toward me with a catchers mitt;
Thats when
Ill put my foot
down, he said.
Actually, it
does make sense
putting Guillen
in right, and
its something
the Royals had
been consider-
ing all along.
Thats where
he has played
almost his
entire career.
Plus, theres a big need in left
after the Royals declined to make a
contract offer to Emil Brown, who
played there the past three years
while leading the team in RBIs.
And Teahen, who may be the
best pure athlete on the 40-man
roster, has proven hes willing and
able to adapt.
But hes also taking ground balls
at first base, where he has played
a few times in the past two years,
and is listed as one of four candi-
dates at that position as well. When
Gordon needs a break, he could
also work at third for a spell.
Ive got my first basemans
glove, my third baseman glove and
my outfielder glove in my equip-
ment bag, he said. My shoulders
getting sore carrying it around, but
Ill get through it.
Finding a permanent home
would be nice, he acknowledges.
But at the same time, its nice to
work on a few different positions
and make sure Im good at all of
them. As long as Im in the lineup
every day, I guess where Im play-
ing isnt a huge factor. They put me
at positions because they know I
can handle them.
When i see them coming
toward me with a catchers mitt;
thats when ill put my foot
down.

Sade Morris
Taylor Bern Andrew Wiebe
Boogaard
McCray
Johnson
Hollins
Krysten Boogaard, 6-foot-5 freshman center
9.8 ppg, 5.6 rpg
Boogaard had scored a total of seven points in
her frst three Big 12 games before exploding for
17 against Missouri in the frst matchup. She has
performed well in every game since then. As long
as Boogaard avoids foul trouble, a career high 25
points is defnitely attainable provided her team-
mates dont stop passing her the ball.
Danielle McCray, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard
14.6 ppg, 7.3 rpg
If she can ever shoot at or above 50 percent
from the feld in a conference game, McCray
will become truly deadly. Shes a double-
double threat every time she steps on the
court, but shes shooting as low as 30
percent in some games. A strong start
from Boogaard opens up some looks for
McCray, and she has to hit those with
more consistency for Kansas to win on the
road. McCrays also an 80 percent shooter
from the free-throw line and a more
aggressive mentality would get
her some confdence and easy
points at the line.
Alyssa Hollins 5-foot-11 junior guard
16.1 ppg, 36% 3PT
Despite their miserable season, Hollins is a defnite
bright spot for the Tigers. Hollins is ffth in the confer-
ence in scoring, even though Missouri is last in the Big
12 in scoring ofense at 59.5 point per game. During
Missouris loss to Kansas earlier in the year, Hollins
was held in check, scoring 14 points on 6-17 shooting.
At home it should be a diferent story, and if she can
fnd room behind the arc, the Jayhawks could be in
trouble.
Jessra Johnson 6-foot-1 sophomore
forward
13.3 ppg, 7.6 rpg
Its hard to understand the Tigers
struggles considering the produc-
tion they receive from Hollins and
Johnson. In Missouris recent nar-
row defeats to Oklahoma and
Nebraska, Johnson averaged
15 points and almost seven
rebounds. Unfortunately
the Tigers are last in the
Big 12 in nearly every re-
bounding category. To defeat Kansas, Missouri
has to put in an inspired efort on the boards.
Kansas did everything right
in the frst half Wednesday
night. Then Texas Tech coun-
tered with a motivated ofense
and pressure defense, and
Kansas folded like an accordion.
The most alarming thing about
the loss was that the Jayhawks
completely abandoned getting
the ball down to center Krysten
Boogaard, who was a big reason
they had a lead to begin with.
The freshman was 6-for-10 from
the feld in the frst half and just
2-of-2 in the second. Texas Tech
did turn up the inside pressure,
but theres no excuse for getting
the teams hot hand just two
shots down the stretch.
Can Kansas get to the
free-throw line more than its
opponent?
The Jayhawks are shooting
a solid 77 percent from the
charity stripe, compared to just
50 and 68 percent out of the
Cornhuskers and Lady Raiders.
At this point trips to the line
really are free points for Kansas,
but its not playing aggressive
enough to earn more fouls and
thus more free throws.
There isnt much to say
about the Tigers Big 12 season.
Theyve lost nine straight
games. The average margin of
victory by Big 12 opponents is
almost 15 points per game and
includes losses by 35 and 30
points to Oklahoma State and
Texas. Missouri already lost to
Kansas once, and at this point
they are playing for pride and to
prevent a sweep in the Border
Showdown.
Will the Tigers win again
this season?
This game could be their last
legitimate chance at victory this
season. Kansas hasnt yet won
on the road in conference play
and a six-point win in Lawrence
doesnt exactly inspire conf-
dence. Missouris only victory
in conference was at home
against Texas Tech, a team Kan-
sas just lost to. The Tigers come
out ready to play and a victory
could give them something to
build on for next season.

Oklahoma State is not the
team Kansas wants to be
playing right now. A matchup
earlier in the season would have
been much more favorable. Just
two weeks ago, the Cowboys
were in the midst of a six-game
losing streak. Now, theyve won
three of their last four games,
including a big one on the road
at Texas A&M. Gallagher-Iba is
always a tough place to play,
and this year wont be an excep-
tion. Kansas has to fght for a
victory.
Mario Chalmers
Chalmers always seems to
step up in hostile environments.
He did at Southern California
earlier this
year, leading
the team in
scoring and
making a
last-second
shot. He tried
at Texas,
attempting
several shots
down the stretch. Chalm-
ers is tough and has enough
confdence that hell continue
to shoot the ball no matter how
many times hes missed. That
toughness could make a big
diference on Saturday.
Will Bill Self be coaching
for Oklahoma State the next
time hes in Stillwater?
Uh, no. Theres been plenty
of speculation about Sean
Sutton getting fred after this
season, and Boone T. Pickens, a
major donor for the Cowboys,
spending big bucks to lure Self
back to his alma mater. Accord-
ing to The Oklahomans Berry
Tramel, there is no chance of
that happening. Tramel is good
friends with Self. He asked Self
about the Oklahoma State job.
According to Tramels column,
Self refused to comment.
Its a long season. Weve had
some good moments, some not
so good moments, and weve
had bad moments where we
won the game and its been
camoufaged. Every team goes
through the exact same thing.
Ive never had a team nor has
any body coached a team
where they go through periods
of time where some weeks
theyre a little better than other
weeks. It could be a fu bug hit-
ting your team or a lack of focus
for whatever reason.
Kansas coach Bill Self on why a teams level
of play can vary at this point in the season
Sean Suttons critics were busy
pointing out the failings of Okla-
homa States second year coach
ever since he replaced his father,
Eddie, as the Cowboys coach
last season. But right when it
looked like the Sean Sutton-era
was destined to be a failure,
Oklahoma State started winning.
The Cowboys have won three of
their last four games, including
victories against Baylor and Texas
A&M and Sutton won his frst
Big 12 road game. Oklahoma
State has the talent to compete
in the conference. Junior Byron
Eaton and freshman James
Anderson are both McDonalds
All-Americans, but consistency
has been the Cowboys biggest
obstacle.
James Anderson, freshman
guard
Kansas recruited the Junc-
tion City, Ark., native, but
Anderson chose Oklahoma
State. In his
frst season
in Stillwater,
Anderson is
averaging
14.5 points
per game
and shooting
38.9 percent
from the three-point line. But
with a great crop of freshmen in
the Big 12, Anderson has mostly
been forgotten. Playing against
Kansas on CBS might change
that. Hell be matched up with
junior guard Brandon Rush, and
if he can outplay Rush, Ander-
son will defnitely grab some
headlines.
Will Gallagher-Iba Arena
make a diference?
Its been a Jekyll and Hyde
kind of season for Oklahoma
State. The Cowboys are Jekyll
at home and Hyde on the road.
Oklahomas victory at Texas
A&M Saturday snapped a 19-
game road losing streak. But
Gallagher-Iba Arena is still one
of the toughest places to play
in the Big 12. The Cowboys are
11-2 at home this season. The
Jayhawks are 5-1 at Gallagher-
Iba Arena since 1996 but
they did lose 80-60 to the
Cowboys in 2004.

(24-2, 9-2)
Ive been positive with them
and stayed really upbeat. I told
them I believed in them, and we
could still win a lot of games. If
we just correct a few things and
step up and make a play here or
there, well win some games.

Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton on the
Cowboys slow start
James Anderson, 6-foot-6 freshman guard
Anderson, a Freshman McDonalds All-American
leads the Cowboys with 14.5 points per game. The
Junction City, Ark., native can slash to the basket
and shoot from the outside.
Obi Muonelo, 6-foot-5 sophomore guard
After breaking his leg and missing 18 games dur-
ing his freshman season, Muonelo has played all 25
games this season and is averaging 9.8 points
per game.
Byron eaton, 5-foot-11 junior guard
Though Eaton has struggled
from the feld shooting 38.5 percent
the Dallas native has been the
catalyst in Oklahoma States recent
hot streak.
Marcus dove, 6-foot-9
senior forward
Dove will be counted on
to guard Darrell Arthur and
Darnell Jackson a tough
task for the Cowboy senior.
Ibrahima Thomas, 6-foot-11
freshman center
Thomas starts in the
frontcourt but plays only 16.5
minutes per game and aver-
ages 5.9 points per game.
Terrel harris, 6-foot-5 junior
guard
Harris, Oklahoma States second
leading scorer at 10.6 points per
game, has been coming of the
bench, but he plays starters min-
utes. The Dallas native plays 30.8
minutes per game.
russell robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard
A typical Russell Robinson game the last time
out against Colorado. Robinson had four points,
fve assists and just one turnover. Hell have
a tough defensive assignment against Byron
Eaton on Saturday.
Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard
The shot is starting to return. Chalmers scored
13 points last Saturday against Colorado, but his
stroke is not quite as consistent as it was earlier
this season.
Brandon rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard
Rush will have his hands full against Marcus
Dove. Dove is almost the same player as Rush.
He can score, but hes even better at playing
defense.
darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward
Jackson could have an easy day going
against a front court lacking in skill. The Cow-
boys fve best scorers are all guards or smaller
forwards.
darrell Arthur,
6-foot-9 sophomore
forward
Arthur hasnt done
much wrong the past two weeks. Hes
stayed out of foul trouble and scored
consistently. Against Colorado, he had the
best defensive performance of his career.
Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore
guard
His production hasnt increased like many
would have guessed after his stellar game
against Baylor. Perhaps hell be motivated go-
ing against fellow big guard Byron Eaton, who
is almost a carbon copy of Collins.
Chalmers
Gallagher-Iba Will Be Movie Theater Silent If
Kansas gets of to a good start. The Cowboys are playing with a lot
of momentum right now. Theyll be jacked up and so will the fans. The
Jayhawks need to start strong if they want to dash Oklahoma States
hopes of a fourth victory in its last fve games. Two years ago, Kansas
jumped early, and the Cowboys never responded. The Jayhawks need
to do the same on Saturday or theyll be in for a tough 40 minutes.
Phog Allen Will roll Over In his Grave If
Byron Eaton continues his run of great games. Eaton has fnally
lived up to his McDonalds All-American status in leading the team to
victories against Baylor and Texas A&M. Kansas has the best defensive
backcourt in the country. The Jayhawks need to put an end to Eatons
solid play if they want to have the best opportunity to win.
71-62 kansas
The Cowboys will keep it close until the fnal minutes, when Ma-
rio Chalmers takes over down the stretch. A road victory here wont
be as sweet as it would have been in Austin, Texas or Manhattan,
but the Jayhawks will have to settle.
