Bars all over Lawrence have been busy
restocking their alcohol supplies this week
to prepare for tomorrows Final Four game
against North Carolina.
Andy Kroeker, manager of Fatsos, 1016
Massachusetts St., said a lot of bars were
in the midst of recovery from the sea
of Jayhawk fans that flooded downtown
Lawrence and ransacked them dry after
last Sundays victory against Davidson.
This whole block was ground zero so
everyone just sold out of everything, he
said. People would come in with these
huge orders of like eight beers and 10 dif-
ferent kinds of shots, and towards the end
of the night we had to be like, alright, we
dont have any of this stuff, so they just
took whatever we had left.
Kroeker said Fatsos would have an extra
supply of alcohol for Saturdays game, and
he scheduled extra staff to handle the
inevitable plethora of fans.
Chris Elliot, Independence senior and
bartender at Quintons Bar & Deli, 615
Massachusetts St., said that judging from
what he saw Sunday, he would probably
have to work a triple shift all day and all
night on Saturday.
We were super packed on Sunday, he
said. We ran out of all kinds of beer and
liquor, so by the end of the night we just
had to start customizing our own shots.
Elliot said Quintons would be com-
pletely restocked for Saturdays game and
the upstairs bar would open early at 3
p.m.
Sarah Shields, a bartender at Jet Lag, 610
Florida St., said the owners bought four
brand new, high-definition, flat screen TVs
this week for fans to watch both Final Four
games throughout the day.
We plan on setting them up so people
can see the games from outside on the
smoking deck, she said.
She said Jet Lag would also be grilling
food all day long.
Abe & Jakes Landing, 8 E. Sixth St.,
plans on inviting Gran-Daddys Q to sell
barbecue inside the bar all day, said Colin
Elwell, event manager for the bar.
We hope to be pretty crowded by about
four, he said. At the 2003 Final Four game
we were packed all day long.
Abe and Jakes will put up three giant
projectors that will feature both Final Four
games, Elwell said, and it plans on opening
its doors at 9 a.m.
Crimson & Brews, 925 Iowa St., will fea-
ture two Xbox 360s where people can play
March Madness video games, said Ryan
Weekley, the bars owner.
He said his bar would also have beer
pong and 50 cent tacos.
Bars arent the only establishments try-
ing to bank off the Final Four.

The Final Four is coming to Allen
Fieldhouse sort of.
Jayhawk fans who cant make it to San
Antonio will be able to watch Kansas
Final Four game(s) from the video board
in Allen Fieldhouse. Associate athletics
director Jim Marchiony said that mas-
cots and the pep band were scheduled to
attend.
Were trying to create an atmosphere
like San Antonio, Marchiony said. The
atmosphere in Allen will probably be bet-
ter because the Alamodome is so large.
The event is open to the public.
Annie Booton, Leawood junior, said
she thought watching the games in the
fieldhouse would be a great alternate plan
for those who couldnt miss class or afford
to get to San Antonio.
Thatd be the perfect place for every-
one to all be together, Booton said. Its
one thing for everyone to be on Mass
Street but its another for everyone to be
in the Phog.
Colleen Standefer, Overland Park
senior, said she would likely be a part of
the crowd at Allen Fieldhouse. She said
that the only downside that she could see
to it was that those who wanted to drink
couldnt do so.
Marchiony said that Kansas Athletics
played host to Final Four watch parties in
previous years in which Kansas was in the
Final Four. This will be the first time that
the game will be broadcast on the video
board, which was added to the fieldhouse
in 2005. Marchiony said in previous years
screens were brought in for fans to watch
the game on.
CBS may broadcast live shots from Allen
Fieldhouse during the games. Marchiony
said he alerted CBS that Kansas Athletics
would be opening the Fieldhouse for the
games.
Tip-off for Kansas semifinal game
against North Carolina is scheduled
for 7:47 Saturday night. Doors to the
Fieldhouse will open at 7 p.m.
Should Kansas advance to the National
Championship game on Monday night,
tipoff is scheduled for 8:15, and doors will
open at 7:30.
Admission and parking will be free for
fans. Concessions and souvenir stands will
also be open.

odd news
Woman saves her dog
by biting pit bulls nose
MINNEAPOLIS Amy Rice
feared for her dogs life when
a pit bull jumped over a fence
into her yard and attacked her
pooch. So she took matters into
her own mouth.
Rice says she bit the pit bull
on the nose Friday after trying to
pull the dogs jaws of her Lab-
rador retriever, Ella. The dog had
jumped a fence to get into Rices
northeast Minneapolis yard, and
Rice says she feared the pit bull
would kill Ella.
I didnt plan it, thats what
happened. I broke the skin and
had pit bull blood in my mouth,
said Rice, 38. I knew what hap-
pened, and I knew that it wasnt
good.
The pit bull was quarantined
Wednesday by Minneapolis Ani-
mal Control ofcers while rabies
tests are being completed. Rices
doctor will determine whether
she needs shots for rabies.
Arkansas toddlers can
no longer get married
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Arkan-
sas marriage-age crisis is over.
A law that mistakenly allowed
anyone even toddlers to
marry with parental permis-
sion was repealed by a measure
signed into law Wednesday by
Gov. Mike Beebe, ending months
of embarrassment for the state
and confusion for county clerks.
Lawmakers didnt realize
until after the end of last years
regular session that a law they
approved, intended to estab-
lish 18 as the minimum age for
marriage, instead removed the
minimum age to marry entirely.
An extraneous not in the bill
allowed anyone who was not
pregnant to marry at any age
with permission.
The bill read: In order for a
person who is younger than
eighteen (18) years of age and
who is not pregnant to obtain
a marriage license, the person
must provide the county clerk
with evidence of parental con-
sent to the marriage.
Some lawmakers called for a
special session last year, saying
the error would make it easy for
pedophiles to take advantage
of the law. Gov. Mike Beebe said
he didnt see any imminent crisis
and said the chances of children
marrying under the law were
slim.
Legislators, however, had the
chance for a do-over this week
when Beebe convened a special
session to consider a hike in the
states severance tax on natural
gas. They repealed the botched
law, and reinstated 17 as the
minimum age to marry for boys
and 16 for girls.
Burglar plays dead
in funeral home
MADRID, Spain A burglar who
broke into a funeral home tried
to fool police by playing dead,
but two things gave him away.
First, he breathed. Plus, he wore
grungy clothes rather than the
Sunday best of those settling in
for eternal rest.
Police and the Crespo Funeral
Home said Wednesday they had
no idea what the 23-year-old
Spanish man was trying to steal
in the March 17 break-in at Bur-
jassot, a small town just outside
Valencia.
Neighbors living nearby
alerted police when they heard
the front door of the business
being forced open in the middle
of the night.
Police ofcers arrived with
the owner, and eventually found
the suspect lying on a table in
a glassed-in chamber used for
viewings of deceased people
during wakes, a local police of-
fcial said from Burjassot.
The custom here is for dead
people to be dressed in suits, in
nice clothes that look present-
able. This guy was in everyday
clothes that were wrinkled and
dirty, the police ofcial said. De-
partment rules barred her from
giving her name.
He was trying to fake being
dead, but he was breathing, the
ofcer said.
The funeral home said it was
mystifed about what the man
could have been after, because
there were no valuables or cash
inside the funeral parlor.
Helicopter tire falls
from sky, hits house
MONROE, Ga. The mystery
of a tire that plunged from the
sky and crashed through the
roof of a home here now has an
explanation.
Federal Aviation Administra-
tion ofcials told home owner
Mark Brown on Tuesday that
the wheel plummeted to earth
from a helicopter owned by the
Loganville-based Forever Green
Landscaping. The wheel is part
of equipment used to haul the
helicopter around the landing
pad during maintenance.
Ofcials said the equipment
should have been removed
before fight.
The companys owner told the
Athens Banner-Herald he didnt
know his helicopter had lost a
wheel.
Brown said he and his wife
returned home last Wednesday
to fnd pictures knocked to the
foor and cracks in a hallways
drywall. He crawled into the
attic, where he saw a hole about
the size of a loaf of bread in his
roof, with a tire peeking through.
When I crawled up there and
saw it pushing through the roof,
I thought, I must be dreaming,
Brown, a mechanic, told the Ban-
ner-Herald.

Tased mans death
under investigation
TOPEKA The local
sherifs department says it
might not know for weeks
whether a deputys Taser
shocks killed a man in a
brief confrontation, but it
continues to face criticism
over the incident.
Walter E. Haake Jr., a 59-
year-old Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Co. worker, died
early Sunday after an ambu-
lance and two deputies
responded to a report that
he was having a medical
emergency.
Haake was in his car at
Goodyears north Topeka
plant, and the deputies
asked him to get out.
After he refused repeat-
edly, a deputy used her
Taser.
Haake was handcufed
but didnt respond when
deputies asked him to rise,
according to various ac-
counts.
They had his keys,
where was he going to go?
Marc Luetje, a co-worker
who said he witnessed the
incident, told The Topeka
Capital-Journal.
Shawnee County
Sherif Dick Barta said he
wont know whether the
Taser killed Haake until an
autopsy report is released.
His spokesman said such a
report could take weeks.
Barta said the two depu-
ties involved had unblem-
ished records and remained
on duty.
The incident is under
investigation.

Expectations of first spouses
are changing in the midst of the
upcoming election, senior fellow
of the Robert J. Dole Institute of
Politics, Jennifer Schmidt said.
First lady of South Carolina,
Jenny Sanford, shared how she
handles those expectations at a
conference at the Dole Institute
Thursday night.
They called me a Hillary,
Sanford said. That is a bad word;
it means they think you are run-
ning your husbands affairs.
Sanford was the campaign
manager for her husband, Mark
Sanford, in his 1994 run for
Congress and again in his 2002
campaign for governor, all while
raising their four young boys.
Sanford said some people thought
that she had her nose in her hus-
bands decisions.
I am just making the trains run
on time, Sanford said.
Schmidt said that when it came
to politics, people had a view of
what that person should be instead
of who that person actually was.
Youve got to know who you
are, and you have to be willing to
take the criticism, Sanford said.
Sanford said that she told her
children that they were held to
a different standard because of
the family they were in. Schmidt
commented on governor Kathleen
Sebelius husband, Gary, who likes
to call himself the first dude.
He doesnt have the same cere-
monial expectations as he would if
he were another gender, Schmidt
said. Hillary Clinton said her expe-
rience as first lady gave her cred-
ibility on the White House.
I would say that her experi-
ence as first lady, coupled with her
Senate experience, would be a bet-
ter way to put it, Sanford said.
She said the role of a first spouse
was fluid and women are taking a
more active role than just hosting
tea parties.
I think its ridiculous in this
day and age that you would criti-
cize a woman for wanting to do
anything, Sanford said. Sanford
said that her first priority was rais-
ing her boys. She said she was
highly criticized for putting them
in private school, but it was the best
decision she ever made because
it gave her children a place where
they could stick together.
The Lord only gave me one
chance to raise these children,
Sanford said.
Sanfords husband is thought
to be a possible choice for a vice
presidential candidate for John
McCain.
Schmidt asked Sanford if he
intended to accept a nomination.
Sanford said that the chances
of that happening were small and
they were just focusing on raising
their children well amidst the fame
of their father.
Sanford said that the position
of first spouse in the White House
would be up for interpretation.

Kansas Attorney General
Stephen Six promised to work
with sexual violence centers across
Kansas to maintain grant funding
and government cooperation at an
awareness conference Thursday.
GaDuGi director of survivor
services, Elyse Towey, said that
because of major federal budget
cuts, the state and local govern-
ments had less money to fund sex-
ual abuse clinics.
Towey said despite tight purse
strings, they would maintain all
survivor services when making
decisions about their budget cuts.
These women are our sisters,
our daughters, our aunts, Towey
said. If it were my loved one, I
would want to know someone was
there to hold their hand through
their process no matter what.
Six visited Lawrences GaDuGi
Safe Center to show the govern-
ments role in awareness for Sexual
Assault Awareness Month.
We have come a long way, espe-
cially in Douglas County, Six said,
but we still have a long way to go.
Six said that while Lawrence was
doing well, many other towns in
Kansas didnt have the resources to
be as effective.
He said the state would focus on
decreasing the amount of rapes in
Kansas and making sure those who
do suffer from sexual assault are
taken care of despite the monetary
issues.
We are dedicated to making
sure victims know their rights and
services, Six said, and that those
services are of the highest quality.
Laura Montgomery, GaDuGi
treasurer and board member, said it
was especially important for people
in Lawrence to be tuned in because
most sexual assault victims are col-
lege-aged, 16-24 years old.
You can either ignore it,
Montgomery said, or you can
become a part of trying to end the
violence.
Montgomery and Towey asked
students to help by volunteering
or using their campus resources to
fundraise for the center.
She said they relied on com-
munity help just to buy food for
Thursdays conference.
Starbucks donated the coffee
today, and we had to ask our board
members for donations for snacks,
Towey said. Before, it wouldnt
have been an issue. She said uni-
versities breed an environment that
attracts sexual violence.
Students who live in dorms or
other college environments think
they are safe, Towey said, but
sexual predators are all over college
campuses.

CDC researches infant
neglection, abuse
ATLANTA About one in
50 infants in the U.S. have been
neglected or abused, according
to the frst national study of the
problem in that age group.
Nearly a third of the victims
were one week old or younger
when the maltreatment was re-
ported, government researchers
said Thursday. The study focused
on children younger than 1.
Most of these cases involved
neglect, not physical abuse.
In the case of the newborns,
experts said the data suggests
drug abuse by the mother may
have been the cause for reports
of neglect, but they couldnt be
certain.
Maternal drug abuse is often
discovered through blood tests
while newborns are still in the
hospital, CDC researchers and
others said.
That is the story here, said Dr.
Howard Dubowitz, a professor
of pediatrics at the University of
Maryland School of Medicine.
The researchers counted more
than 91,000 infant victims of
abuse and neglect during the
study period Oct. 1, 2005 to Sept.
30, 2006. About 30,000 of those
cases were newborns aged one
week or younger.
The information came from
a national database of cases
verifed by protective services
agencies in 45 states, the District
of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
Other studies looked at
national child abuse and neglect
cases, but this is believed to be
the frst to focus on infants, said
study co-author Rebecca Leeb, of
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
The results mirror what a study
in Canada found, said Leeb.
We certainly were distressed
by the studys results, said Ileana
Arias, director of the CDCs Na-
tional Center for Injury Prevention
and Control.

HARARE, Zimbabwe
Intruders ransacked offices of
the main opposition party and
police detained foreign journalists
Thursday in an ominous sign that
President Robert Mugabe might
turn to intimidation and violence
in trying to stave off an electoral
threat to his 28-year rule.
Earlier, Mugabe apparently
launched his campaign for an
expected run-off presidential
ballot even before the official
results of Saturdays election were
announced, with state media por-
traying the opposition as divided
and controlled by former colonial
ruler Britain.
Five days after the vote, the
Zimbabwe Electoral Commission
still had not released results on
presidential election despite
increasing international pressure,
including from former U.N. chief
Kofi Annan, who recently medi-
ated an end to Kenyas postelection
violence.
The opposition Movement for
Democratic Change already assert-
ed its leader, Morgan Tsvangirai,
won the presidency outright, but
said it was prepared to compete in
any run-off.
The police raids came a day after
official results showed Mugabes
party had lost control of parlia-
ments 210-member lower house.
The election commission was
slow on the 60 elected seats in the
Senate, releasing the first returns
late Thursday that gave five seats
each to the opposition and ruling
party.
MDC secretary-general Tendai
Biti said hotel rooms used as offic-
es by the opposition at a Harare
hotel were ransacked by intrud-
ers he believed were either police
or agents of the feared Central
Intelligence Organization.
Mugabe has started a crack-
down, Biti told The Associated
Press. It is quite clear he has
unleashed a war.
Biti said the raid at the Meikles
Hotel targeted certain people
... including myself. He said
Tsvangirai was safe but had can-
celed plans for a news conference.
Tsvangirai was arrested and severe-
ly beaten by police a year ago after
a banned opposition rally.
In a further signal of the gov-
ernments hardening mood, heav-
ily armed riot police surrounded
and entered a Harare hotel housing
foreign correspondents and took
four away, said a man answering
the telephone at the hotel. Eight
journalists were staying at the York
Lodge.
Bill Keller, executive editor of
The New York Times, said Times
correspondent Barry Bearak, a
winner of a 2002 Pulitzer Prize, was
one of those taken into custody.
An American consular offi-
cial who visited him at the central
police station reported that he was
being held for violation of the
journalism laws, Keller said.
The identities of the other
reporters hadnt been determined.
The New York-based Committee
to Protect Journalists expressed
alarm over the detentions and
called for the reporters immedi-
ate release. It is imperative that all
journalists, foreign and domestic,
be allowed to work freely, said
Joel Simon, the groups executive
director.
Zimbabwe lawyer Beatrice
Mtetwa said quite a few American
and British people had been
detained by police but no charges
had been filed against them. She
said some were being questioned
indiviually by police but were not
allowed to have lawyers present.
Mugabe has ruled since his
guerrilla army helped force an end
to white minority rule and bring
about an independent Zimbabwe
in 1980, but his popularity has been
battered by an economic freefall
that followed the often-violent sei-
zures of white-owned commercial
farms in 2000.
Seemingly laying the ground-
work for a Mugabe run-off cam-
paign, the state-run Herald news-
paper said the ruling ZANU-PF
party was running neck and neck
with the opposition in the vote
count, and it highlighted divisions
among Mugabes foes.
The Herald also charged that
Tsvangirai would give farmland
back to whites.

Students who celebrate on
Massachusetts Street Saturday
will face a tough opponent the
Lawrence Police Department.
Sgt. Paul Fellers, of the Lawrence
Police Department said the depart-
ment had requested assistance
from five outside agencies to help
control crowds downtown.
Fellers said he was unsure how
many more police officers would
be on duty during the Final Four
games than were on duty dur-
ing the previous NCAA games,
but that all five agencies said they
would send officers.
The police department issued a
press release Wednesday remind-
ing fans that no missiles, fireworks,
bottles or cans would be tolerated
and plastic cups would be the only
open containers allowed in public.
The release
said traffic would
not be rerouted
and pedestrians
should be con-
siderate toward
motorists and
vice versa.
Fellers said
that although
plastic cups
would be permit-
ted, it was illegal
to consume alcohol in public and
the statute would be enforced.
He also said that illegal activities
would be judged on a case by case
basis but that generally the depart-
ment would encourage voluntary
compliance.
Fellers worked downtown dur-
ing the 2003 Final Four game and
said that the crowds celebrated
but that they
were respect-
ful of the
surrounding
communities.
Fellers said
the best tool
the police
depart ment
would rely on
was people
doing the
right thing.
Fellers said fans needed to
remember that the national spot-
light would not only be on the bas-
ketball team but on the community
as well. University Relations issued
a press release Thursday echoing
Fellers reminder.
Last Sunday, between 3 p.m.
and midnight, the Lawrence Police
Department received two fireworks
calls and two noise complaints.
It also reported one trespasser,
six non-injury accidents, one bur-
glary, two thefts, two instances of
criminal damage, four disturbances
(one of which included a weapon)
and four medical emergencies.
Kim Murphree of the Lawrence
Police Department said the crimes
may or may not have actually
occurred.
In addition, more crimes may
have been committed that were not
reported, and the crimes that did
occur may not have been related to
the basketball games.

Classes are still on...for now.
University of Kansas students
have been calling the chancellors
office all week to verify rumors
that classes will be cancelled
Tuesday if the Kansas basket-
ball team wins the champion-
ship Monday night, according to
Jessica Pryor, senior administra-
tive associate to the chancellors
office.
In 1988, the provost cancelled
classes for the entire school the
day after the KU championship
victory. The rumors suggest that
if Self can pull off the big win,
Chancellor Robert Hemenway
will follow suit.
Todd Cohen, director of
University Relations, said stu-
dents should plan on going to
class as usual.
We have to get past Saturday
first, Cohen said.
Pryor said some students were
so sure the Jayhawks would win
and classes would be canceled
that they were planning trips for
that day.
They are a little ahead of
themselves, Pryor said. The last
time that happened was 20 years
ago.
Pryor said she hadnt heard
of anything from the chancellor
about canceled classes but that
the process would be similar to
inclement weather closings.
You wont know until the last
minute, Pryor said.
Cohen said that he heard
reports on TV that the University
always cancelled classes for cham-
pionship victories.
The last time that actually
happened was in 1988, he said.
Brian Clausen and Brittan
Young, Overland Park sopho-
mores, said they would not go
to class even if it were scheduled
as usual.
If we win the national cham-
pionship, we deserve to have class
off, Clausen said.
Young said the chancellor
should call off classes even if the
Jayhawks dont win.
Everybody would be too
depressed to go to class, Young
said. No one would participate.
Cohen said that the basketball
players themselves would be in
class the next day and students
should do the same.
We have to remember that
we represent the same school the
players do, Cohen said. Stay
Jayhawks, stay classy.
Cohen, who was a KU stu-
dent in 1988, said it was easy for
things to get out of control after
the game.
He said the celebration com-
mittee would mostly be con-
cerned with student safety.
He said he hoped students
wouldnt let the exuberance of
the expected victory Monday take
over common sense.

People stand in line at a Southwest Airlines counter at Chicagos Midway International Air-
port onThursday. Well-publicized maintenance problems at American, Southwest and other
airlines were fltering into the fying publics psyche, adding a newheadache to air travel.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Before
boarding an American Airlines
flight to Dallas this week, Jody
Johnson took an unusual pre-
travel precaution: She checked
to see whether the aircraft was
among those recently grounded
because of safety concerns.
She was relieved to learn it
was not the same type of plane
grounded last week by American
Airlines and Delta Air Lines for
inspections of wiring along the
wheel wells.
Its the airlines responsibility
to us as consumers to offer service
thats safe, said Johnson, a stu-
dent from San Juan Capistrano,
Calif.
We l l - pub -
licized equip-
ment problems
at American,
Southwest and
other large car-
riers is making
travelers jit-
tery and add-
ing another
headache to
the ordeal of air
travel.
There are also questions about
the outsourcing of maintenance
work to overseas facilities and
allegations of a too-cozy relation-
ship between airlines and the
Federal Aviation Administration.
You just hope and pray that
(airlines) do their homework,
because our lives are at stake, said
Grant Schleisner, who arrived at
Los Angeles International Airport
Wednesday after a 12-hour flight
from Auckland, New Zealand.
Such concerns arent likely to
fade from fliers psyches soon,
as Congress and the FAA pledge
to step up scrutiny of mainte-
nance procedures. Still, flying on
U.S. airlines has never been safer,
according to analysts.
And most travelers say they
have faith in U.S. carriers and
their regulators.
Schleisner, a 63-year-old retir-
ee from San Luis Obispo, Calif.,
applauded the airliners decisions
to cancel flights.
Id rather miss a flight than be
put on a plane that youre not sure
about, he said.
Analysts say any financial
impact stemming from fliers con-
cerns about lax maintenance is
far outweighed by the punish-
ment the airline industry is taking
because of high fuel prices and
economic weakness.
In recent
years, pub-
lic sentiment
about regula-
tion has been
less is more,
but people
have a right to
be concerned,
said Daniel
Petree, dean
of the College
of Business
at Embry-
Riddle Aeronautical University in
Daytona Beach, Fla.
The public spotlight heated
up last month after the FAA
took the rare step of ordering
the audit of maintenance records
at all domestic carriers following
reports of missed safety inspec-
tions at Dallas-based Southwest
Airlines Co.
The airline was hit with a
record $10.2 million fine for con-
tinuing to fly dozens of Boeing
737s that hadnt been inspected
for cracks in their fuselages.
Grounded fights add
concerns for travelers

owner, said phones have been
ringing off the hook with orders
all week.
Weve been busy with not
only customers, but also our
Internet Web sites have been
shipping KU apparel all over
the country, he said. T-shirts
have been the most popular

He said the two T-shirts he

KU regional locker room T-
shirts and the Adidas Final Four

right after its victory against

Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton

in on Jayhawk apparel. It now
features a giant T-shirt stand at
the front of the store.
John Olson, store manager,
said selling T-shirts has become
a common business trend
around Lawrence this week.
It seems like everyone who
has the opportunity to get Final
Four apparel is hopping on it,
he said.
Oslon said Hy-Vee planned
on seeing a huge spike in sales
on Saturday.
When KU went to the
Orange Bowl, business sky-
rocketed quite a bit, he said.
We know people are having a
lot of watch parties, so we plan
on seeing a huge spike in snack
food sales and other party sup-

Owens said that while
Saturday looked like a big day
for business in Lawrence, he
expected Sunday to be the big-
gest day of all for Jocks Nitch

PROVIDENCE, R.I.
Lawmakers from California to
Kentucky are trying to save money
with a drastic and potentially dan-
gerous budget-cutting proposal:
releasing tens of thousands of
convicts from prison, including
drug addicts, thieves and even
violent criminals.
Officials acknowledge that the
idea carries risks, but they say
they have no choice because of
huge budget gaps brought on by
the slumping economy.
If we dont find a way to better
manage the population at the state
prison, we will be forced to spend
money to expand the states prison
system money we dont have,
said Jeff Neal, a spokesman for
Rhode Island Gov. Don Carcieri.
At least eight states are con-
sidering freeing inmates or send-
ing some convicts to rehabilita-
tion programs instead of prison,
according to an Associated Press
analysis of legislative proposals.
If adopted, the early release pro-
grams could save an estimated
$450 million in California and
Kentucky alone.
A Rhode Island proposal
would allow inmates to deduct up
to 12 days from their sentence for
every month they follow rules and
work in prison. Even some violent
offenders would be eligible but
not those serving life sentences.
A plan in Mississippi would
offer early parole for people con-
victed of selling marijuana or pre-
scription drugs. New Jersey, South
Carolina and Vermont are con-
sidering funneling drug-addicted
inmates into treatment, which is
cheaper than prison.
The prospect of financial sav-
ings offers little comfort to Tori-
Lynn Heaton, a police officer in
a suburb of Providence whose
ex-husband went to prison for
beating her. He has already fin-
ished his prison term, but would
have been eligible for early release
under the current proposal.
Youre talking about victim
safety. Youre talking about com-
munity member safety, she said.
But prisons are one of the
most expensive parts of the crimi-
nal-justice system, said Alison
Lawrence, who studies correc-
tions policy for the National
Conference of State Legislatures.
Thats where they look to first to
cut down some of those costs.
In California, where lawmakers
have taken steps
to cut a $16 bil-
lion budget defi-
cit in half by sum-
mer, Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger
proposed sav-
ing $400 mil-
lion by releasing
more than 22,000
inmates who
had less than 20
months remain-
ing on their sen-
tences. Violent and sex offenders
would not be eligible.
To open the prison door
and release prisoners back into
communities is merely placing a
state burden onto local govern-
ments and will ultimately jeopar-
dize safety in communities, said
Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer,
who could see 1,800 inmates
released in his area.
In Kentucky, which faces a
$1.3 billion deficit, lawmakers
approved legislation Wednesday
to grant early release to some
prisoners. Initial estimates were
that the plan could affect as many
as 2,000 inmates and save nearly
$50 million.
If the governor signs the bill, the
exact number of prisoners would
be determined by prison officials.
V i o l e n t
c o n v i c t s
and sexual
of f enders
would be
exempt.

California, each inmate costs an
average of $46,104 to incarcerate.

WASHINGTON Democratic
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said
she would defend gay rights as
president and eliminate dispari-
ties for same-sex couples in federal
law, including immigration and tax
policy.
Clinton said states such as
New Jersey and Massachusetts
are extending rights to gay cou-
ples and the federal government
should recognize that and should
extend the same access to federal
benefits across the board. I will
very much work to achieve that.
Clintons comments came in an
interview with the Philadelphia
Gay News that was posted on its
Web site Thursday.
Clinton said she and her hus-
band have many gay friends that
they socialize with when they get
the chance. Ive got friends, liter-
ally, around the country that Im
close to. Its part of my life, she
said.
She said that when they ask her
why they cant get married, she tells
them marriage is a state law. She
said that fact helped defeat a con-
stitutional amendment to prohibit
same-sex weddings that she said
would enshrine discrimination in
the Constitution.
States are really beginning seri-
ously to deal with the whole range
of options, including marriage,
both under their own state con-
stitutions and under the legislative
approach, she said. I anticipate
that there will be a very concerted
amount of effort in the next couple
of years that will move this impor-
tant issue forward and different
states will take different approach-
es as they did with marriage over
many years and you will see an
evolution over time.
Clinton said she opposes a mea-
sure that would ban gay marriage
in Pennsylvania.
I would be very distressed if
Pennsylvania were to adopt that
kind of mean-spirited referendum
and I hope it wont happen, she
said.
Clintons Democratic rival
Barack Obama and Republican
John McCain declined the news-
papers invitation for an interview.
The paper criticized Obama and
highlighted his refusal to talk by
leaving a blank space on the front
page where his interview would
have appeared.

New major could mean better jobs for graduates
BY MEGAN WELTNER
editor@kansan.com
Sam Dean sits through his 9
a.m. introductory business class
struggling to keep his eyes open.
His professor is explaining the
newly added major, Supply Chain
Management (SCM). As Dean,
Fort Worth, Texas, sophomore,
struggles to listen, a few com-
ments catch his attention. When
he arrives home, bored with his
homework, he decides to Google
the major.
As he reads more and more,
he realizes that the SCM industry
may not be such a bore. He said
he was overwhelmed with Web
sites regarding the various careers
within the field, logistics, consult-
ing, transportation and consumer
services management to name
a few. Dean begins to question
whether finance is the most prom-
ising major for him.
Dean has stumbled upon an
industry which gets little atten-
tion, yet is one of the most lucra-
tive fields in business today. SCM
offers some of the most promising
careers for undergraduate, entry-
level applicants. According to the
U.S. Bureau
of Labor
Statistics, SCM
job growth in
manufacturing
or industrial
companies is
expected to
be between 3
and 9 percent
through 2012
and supply
chain positions
within service
industries are expected to grow at
an even higher rate.
The supply chain is the heart
and soul of every business,
said Nate Winslow, field human
resources representative for YRC
Logistics. One of the areas rec-
ognized as a great opportunity is
optimizing your supply chain.
The increase in technology
has led to SCM becoming a more
integral part of companies. With
improvements in the Internet,
companies have the ability to mon-
itor all aspects
of their supply
chain.
The indus-
try has cer-
tainly grown
in sophisti-
cation with
t echnol ogy,
Winslow said.
Compani e s
are demanding
more profi-
cient people in
the development and movement of
their products.
The SCM industry also offers
some of the most competitive sala-
ries in the business field. According
to the National Association of
Colleges and Employers, the aver-
age starting salary offer for the
winter of 2008 is $49,300. Thats
4 percent more than the average
salary offer in the winter of 2007.
According to NACE, the average is
greater than both the industries of
finance and accounting.
Its one of the highest paying
jobs for entry-
level applicants
and its not a
job thats going
to go away,
said Michelle
Frazier, direc-
tor of imple-
mentation and
project man-
agement for
YRC Logistics.
You will
always have to
get a product from point A to
point B.
The broad reach of the SCM
industry can cause students to
question the field, yet it is also
an aspect that makes it such a
lucrative opportunity. The SCM
industry offers titles such as agent,
analyst, assistant, specialist or
manager, and experience in fields
such as transportation, logistics
and consulting.
You must wear a lot of different
hats in this industry, said Doug
Houston, direc-
tor of finance,
economics and
decision sci-
ences at the
Un i v e r s i t y
of Kansas.
Houston spear-
headed the
addition of the
SCM major at
the University.
Added in
the Fall 2007,
The University is one of the only
schools in the Midwest to offer the
SCM major. Prior to the addition
of the major, companies in Kansas
City, Wichita and Topeka were
forced to recruit from Arizona
State, Michigan State or Ohio State.
Now companies such as Hallmark,
Yellow Freight, YRC Logistics and
Spirit AeroSystems are able to
save money by recruiting at the
University.
We have never had recruiters
more excited, said David Byrd-
Stadler, KU employee relations
coordinator. These companies are
able to save time and money. They
no longer have to travel great dis-
tances to find the students they
want.
The University felt a push from
local recruiters for a major in SCM.
The faculty proposed the new
major two years ago and approved
it in the spring of 2008.
With the addition of the new
major companies are flocking to
the University in hopes of gaining
well-trained professionals for their
businesses. While the major has
only four graduates for the upcom-
ing spring, with the way recruiters
are demanding SCM professionals,
the future looks promising.

state
Judge to decide whether abortion records will be authenticated
BY ANDALE GROSS
ASSOciATED PRESS
OLATHE A Johnson County
District Court judge will decide
later this month whether to let
the state authenticate abortion
records in a case against Planned
Parenthood.
Judge Stephen R. Tatum heard
arguments Thursday concerning
the late-term abortion records from
Planned Parenthoods Overland
Park, Kan., clinic. But he said he
will not rule on the records until
April 28.
District Attorney Phill Kline says
he needs the Kansas Department of
Health and Environment to verify
some abortion records he already
has in his files. Kline doesnt doubt
the documents are authentic cop-
ies, but he wants state health offi-
cials to say so on the record.
But health
officials say
state law for-
bids them from
providing dis-
trict attorneys
with abortion
patient infor-
mation. They
say the infor-
mation can be
given only to
the state Board
of Healing Arts or the state attor-
ney generals office, and that has to
be upon request and for criminal
or disciplinary matters.
Planned Parenthood of Kansas
and Mid-Missouri faces 23 felony
counts for allegedly manufacturing
or forging documents in August
2006 regard-
ing late-term
abortions. It
also faces 85
misdemeanors
for allegedly
failing to main-
tain records
between 2003
and 2006, fail-
ing to deter-
mine the via-
bility of a fetus
before late-term abortions at vari-
ous times in 2003, and perform-
ing unlawful late-term abortions at
various times in 2003.
Planned Parenthood denies the
allegations, calling the charges a
political move by Kline.
The hearing Thursday before
Tatum stemmed from the health
department fil-
ing a motion to
quash Klines
subpoena regard-
ing the patient
records.
Peter Brownlie,
president and
chief executive
officer of Planned
Parenthood of
Kansas and Mid-
Missouri, said
he is disappoint-
ed that Tatum didnt rule on the
records, but that the delay is under-
standable.
This judge knows as every judge
does that this is a very contentious
issue, Brownlie said of the debate
over abortion and patient privacy.
He wants
to be sure
that when
he does do
s omet hi ng
that he does
the right
thing.
Brownlie
said Planned
Parenthood
agreed with
the health
departments
position that Kline should not
be allowed access to the abortion
information.
The forms that Kline is try-
ing to verify are ones Planned
Parenthood is required to give the
health department to show compli-
ance with late-term abortion laws.
Its important for people to
understand its not about new infor-
mation, Brian Burgess, spokes-
man with Klines office, reiterated
Thursday.
The preliminary hearing in the
case is scheduled for May 27 to 28.
Kline, a Republican who
opposes abortion, has investigated
Planned Parenthood before. But
Paul Morrison, who replaced Kline
as attorney general, cleared the
agency of criminal wrongdoing last
year. Morrison has since resigned
from office.
This judge knows as every
judge does that this is a very
contentious issue.
PeteR bRowNlie
President of Planned Parenthood
of Kansas and Mid-Missouri
Its important for people to
understand its not about new
information. Its a simple matter
of KDHE verifying that the docu-
ments came from them.

NATO allies support
missile defense system
BY TERENcE HUNT
ASSOciATED PRESS
BUCHAREST, Romania
NATO allies gave President Bush
strong support Thursday for a mis-
sile defense system in Europe and
urged Moscow to drop its angry
opposition to the program. The
unanimous decision strengthened
Bushs hand for weekend talks with
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice said it was a breakthrough
document on missile defense for
the alliance. At Bushs first NATO
summit in 2001, perhaps only two
allies gave even lukewarm support
for the notion of missile defense,
Rice said.
This was Bushs final meeting
with members of the 26-nation
alliance, and White House officials
described it as a day of freewheel-
ing talks in which leaders and their
foreign ministers got off script and
gathered in crowds to debate the
wording of a statement. It doesnt
happen in NATO meetings a lot,
said Bushs national security advis-
er, Stephen Hadley.
He said a group of leaders gath-
ered around German Chancellor
Angela Merkel to talk about put-
ting former Soviet republics
Ukraine and Georgia on a path
toward NATO membership, a
step she opposes. Moscow heat-
edly opposes any further eastward
expansion of the alliance.
Summit leaders refused to grant
the two countries a membership
plan now, but said they would look
at the issue again in December
and they empowered their foreign
ministers to decide it. The Balkan
nations of Albania and Croatia
were invited to join the alliance.
Macedonia was turned aside at the
insistence of Greece, which says
the countrys name implies a terri-
torial claim to a northern region of
Greece, also called Macedonia.
France helped resolve a sensi-
tive issue for NATO by pledging to
send as many as 1,000 more com-
bat troops to Afghanistans eastern
part. That would free up U.S. forces
to move into the south, home of
fierce fighting with Taliban and
al-Qaida forces. Canada had threat-
ened to pull its soldiers from the
south unless it received 1,000 rein-
forcements from another ally.
Some allies, notably Germany,
Italy, Turkey and Spain, refuse to
send troops to the Afghan front
lines because of the unpopularity of
the war at home. Hadley said mili-
tary commanders in Afghanistan
are pleading for more forces.
Already the largest contribu-
tor to NATOs 47,000 troops in
Afghanistan, the United States is
dispatching an additional 3,500
Marines and readying plans to send
in more in the south next year,
Hadley said.
Putin arrived Thursday evening
and joined the leaders at dinner.
Putin planned to meet more for-
mally with NATO chiefs Friday.
With U.S.-Russian relations in
a deep chill, Bush and Putin will
meet Saturday and Sunday in the
Black Sea resort of Sochi in their
last talks before the Russian leader
steps down in May. Bushs term
ends in January.
Rice said the two leaders were
expected to produce a strategic
framework to guide relations
between Washington and Moscow
under their successors. Part of that
has to be some discussion of mis-
sile defense, Rice said, but she
stopped short of saying the two
leaders would find agreement on
the prickly subject.
Russia views the system as
designed to weaken its military
might and upsetting the balance of
power in Europe. Bush argues that
the shield is not aimed at Russia but
at Mideast countries such as Iran.
In a series of concessions, the
White House has offered to let
Moscow monitor the sites and
promised to delay activation of the
shield until Iran or another adver-
sary tests a missile with a range to
reach Europe.

WASHINGTON New evi-
dence shows humans lived in
North America more than 14,000
years ago, 1,000 years earlier than
had previously been known.
Discovered in a cave in Oregon,
fossil feces yielded DNA indicating
these early residents were related
to people living in Siberia and
East Asia, according to a report in
Thursdays online edition of the
journal Science.
This is the first time we have
been able to get dates that are
undeniably human, and they are
1,000 years before Clovis, said
Dennis L. Jenkins, a University of
Oregon archaeologist, referring to
the Clovis culture, well known for
its unique spear-points that have
been studied previously.
Humans are widely believed to
have arrived in North America
from Asia over a land-bridge
between Alaska and Siberia dur-
ing a warmer period. A variety of
dates has been proposed and some
are in dispute.
Few artifacts were found in the
cave, leading Jenkins to speculate
that these people stayed there only
a few days at a time before moving
on, perhaps following game ani-
mals or looking for other food.
The petrified poop copro-
lites to scientists is yielding a
look at the diet of these ancient
Americans, Jenkins said.
While the analysis is not yet
complete, he said there are bones
of squirrels, bison hair, fish scales,
protein from birds and dogs and
the remains of plants such as grass
and sunflowers.
The oldest of several coprolites
studied is 14,340 calendar years
old, said co-author Eske Willerslev,
director of the Centre for Ancient
Genetics at Denmarks University
of Copenhagen.
The Paisley Cave material rep-
resents, to the best of my knowl-
edge, the oldest human DNA
obtained from the Americas, he
said. Other pre-Clovis sites have
been claimed, but no human DNA
has been obtained.
The date for the new coprolites
is similar to that of Monte Verde in
southern Chile, where human arti-
facts have been discovered, added
Willerslev.
Jenkins said it isnt clear exactly
who these people living in the
Oregon caves were, since there
were few artifacts found. He said
there was one stone tool, a hand
tool used perhaps to polish or
grind or mash bones or fat.
We are not saying that these
people were of a particular ethnic
group. At this point, we know they
most likely came from Siberia or
Eastern Asia, and we know some-
thing about what they were eating,
which is something we can learn
from coprolites. Were talking
about human signature, he said.
If you are looking for the first
people in North America, you are
going to have to step back more
than 1,000 years beyond Clovis to
find them, Jenkins said.
The Clovis culture has been
dated to between 13,200 and
12,900 calendar years ago and
is best known by the tools left
behind.
Michael Waters, director of
the Center for the Study of the
First Americans at Texas A&M
University, said the find, along
with indications of human pres-
ence at other locations, adds to the
evidence for a pre-Clovis human
presence in North America.
To make sure the Oregon cave
material hadnt been contaminated
with modern DNA, the research-
ers tested more than 50 people
who worked at the site. The DNA
testing indicated that the feces
belonged to Native Americans in
two groups that can be traced to
Siberia and East Asia.
In their paper the research-
ers dated the coprolites at 12,300
carbon years before the present.
Prior to 3,000 years ago, carbon
years differed from calendar years,
resulting in the date of approxi-
mately 14,300 calendar years for
the coprolites.
The research was funded
by the Museum of Natural and
Cultural History, University of
Oregon; Association of Oregon
Archaeologists and the Marie
Curie Actions program.

Census scraps plans
for high-tech count
By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Stumbling
over its multibillion-dollar plans for
a high-tech census, the government
says it will go back to counting the
nations 300 million people the old-
fashioned way with paper and
pencil.
Help wanted: 600,000 temporary
workers to do the job.
Commerce Secretary Carlos
Gutierrez told Congress Thursday
his department will scrap plans to
use handheld computers to col-
lect information from the millions
of Americans who dont return
the census forms that come in the
mail.
Thats one of a number of chang-
es that will add as much as $3 bil-
lion to the constitutionally mandat-
ed 2010 count, pushing the overall
cost to more than $14 billion.
This was to be the first truly
high-tech count in the nations
history. The Census Bureau had
awarded a contract to purchase
500,000 of the computers, at a cost
of more than $600 million. The
contract is now projected to bal-
loon to $1.3 billion, even though
bureau will scale back its purchase
to only 151,000 computers.
The devices, which look like
fancy cell phones, will still be used
to verify every residential street
address in the country, using global
positioning system software.
But workers going door-to-door
will not be able to use them to col-
lect information from the residents
who didnt return their census
forms. About a third of U.S. resi-
dents are expected not to return the
forms. The Census Bureau plans
to hire and train nearly 600,000
temporary workers to do the can-
vassing.
Gutierrez blamed many of the
problems on a lack of effective
communication with one of our
key contractors Florida-based
Harris Corp.
The increased funding is
required to cover additional sites,
equipment, software and functions
added by the bureau to the pro-
gram in January of this year, said
Harris spokesman Marc Raimondi
said in an e-mail. The handheld
devices make up only a portion of
the overall automation program.
Rep. Alan Mollohan, chairman
of the appropriations subcommit-
tee, said both the Census Bureau
and Harris Corp. contributed
to todays crisis. However, the
Census Bureaus failure to address
problems with the computers early
on has turned the crisis into the
emergency that we now face, the
West Virginia Democrat said.
The 2010 census was already on
pace to be the most expensive ever.
Officials now are scrambling to
add money while trying to ensure
the count produces reliable pop-
ulation numbers figures that
will be used to apportion seats in
Congress and divvy up more than
$300 billion a year in federal and
state funding.
The success or failure of the
census could have widespread
repercussions. The Constitution
has required a census every 10
years since the first one in 1790. It
is used to apportion the 435 seats
in the House of Representatives
among the states. And states and
many cities use census data to
draw legislative districts.
Population numbers are used
to calculate billions in state and
federal grants for transportation,
education and other programs.
Private businesses use census data
to identify labor and consumer
markets.

Station receives
new fre truck
By WENDy MCCART
editor@kansan.com
Lt. Dave Sherman described
Station 1s new fire truck as if
it were the best present he ever
unwrapped on his birthday.
Station 1 was the first and
only fire station in Lawrence to
receive a new fire truck last year, a
Quint model, because of the City
of Lawrences new fire apparatus
replacement program. The program
intends to replace all of Lawrences
aging fire trucks with newer, safer
models.
Fire trucks serve an important
purpose in Lawrence.
Sherman said it was important to
replace the trucks and take advan-
tage of the new safety additions
they offered.
Administrative Chief Bill Stark
is heading up the fire apparatus
replacement program for the fire
department.
Stark said Lawrences fire trucks
were becoming outdated and the
city needed to replace them within
the next few years. All of Lawrences
fire trucks were put through a rat-
ings test to see if they qualified for
replacement, and all of them did.
The money for the new trucks
will come from the City of Lawrence.
A new fire truck, depending on the
type, can cost between $600,000
and $1 million, Stark said.
Assistant City Manager Cynthia
Boecker said the city saw the need
to replace the trucks, but the pro-
gram would not replace all of them
immediately.
We have to look into various
funds to find the money to replace
the trucks, Boecker said. We are
looking to replace two fire trucks
for the department this year, and
we are looking into the equipment
reserve fund or possibly Lawrences
general fund for the money.
The fire apparatus replacement
program most likely will not cause
an increase in taxes for citizens of
Lawrence or effect other depart-
ments funding this year, Boecker
said. Buying new trucks may be
a better way to spend the citys
money.
The old trucks are in need of
repair and the cost of maintenance
may actually be causing the city to
spend more.
They break down and then
when you need parts, they are
expensive and hard to get, Stark
said. It isnt like taking your Ford
into the shop. These trucks have
special parts and a lot of times we
have to have them special ordered
and made somewhere else.
Newer fire trucks come with
safety equipment for both the fire-
fighters and citizens of Lawrence.
Sherman said that, like cars, fire
trucks had safety upgrade require-
ments and additions made to new
models.
Lawrences old fire trucks do
not have the newer safety systems.
Station 1s new truck has safety
additions. Sherman said the new
equipment was necessary and
appreciated.
Our new truck has a foam sys-
tem built into it so we can deliver fire
fighting-foam, spraying it directly
from the truck without having to
mix it separately, Sherman said.
It also has side-curtain airbags for
the passengers and better restraint
systems for our air packs.
The new truck also protects the
public, Sherman said. Whereas
old trucks had equipment that sat
directly on the apparatus without
being tied down, the new trucks
had straps that held the equip-
ment so that nothing flew off while
the firefighters were driving to an
emergency. Lawrence Fire Chief
Mark Bradford confirmed that the
fire apparatus replacement pro-
gram was an important issue for
the Lawrence Fire Department.
Both the City of Lawrence and
the fire department are looking
into the issue of replacing aging
fire trucks as the budget allows.
However, the city cannot specifi-
cally set a date as to when all of the
trucks will be replaced.

Students curious about Student
Senate coalitions issues and stanc-
es will have another opportunity
to hear from each coalitions presi-
dential and vice presidential can-
didates at todays Student Senate
debate.
The Student Senate Elections
Commission is playing host to
the debate, which is at 5 p.m. in
Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas
Union.
Were not expecting a lot of
people to come, but we hope some
of the issues brought up in previ-
ous debates will get a closer look,
said Rohit Venkatasubban, Student
Senate Elections commissioner.
Coalitions already participated
in two debates this semester, one
hosted by The University Daily
Kansan and one hosted by Kansas
Athletics. Despite this, presiden-
tial candidates said that they were
not sick of debating their issues
and platforms.
We want to have as many
opportunities as possible to pres-
ent the issues, said Austin Kelly,
Connects presidential candidate.
If people wanted us to debate
every other day, we would.
United Students presidential
candidate Adam McGonigle said
that debates provided another line
of communication with students.
I think the best thing we can
do and weve been trying to do this
semester is talking to students,
McGonigle said. By doing that
you find out what they think is
important to them.
Venkatasubban said the debates
format would be similar to previ-
ous debates. It will feature a panel
asking the candidates questions.
Presidential and vice presidential
candidates will answer the panels
questions together as a coalition.
Itll follow up on things that
happened in the last two debates
or werent covered in the first two,
Venkatasubban said.
Students of Liberty presidential
candidate Adam Wood said that he
hoped this debate would allow can-
didates an opportunity to comment
on other coalitions platforms.
In previous debates, we only
got to talk about our own plat-
forms, Wood said. Id like to hear
what United Students and Connect
think about our platform.
All three candidates said they
had similar game plans going into
the debate. Each wanted to discuss
their platforms and prove their sin-
cerity to them.
I feel confident that we can
answer questions completely with-
out extensively preparing because
there are things we want to bring
we really care about, Kelly said.
Wood said that his prepara-
tion included looking at statistics
regarding various issues, but that
his answers were candid.
I just go up there and say what
I think, Wood said. I think thats
why we come off like we do.

WASHINGTON Federal
Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke
and the Bush administration on
Thursday defended the decision
to rescue Bear Stearns amid ques-
tions by lawmakers about why
the government was helping Wall
Street investment houses but not
people on Main Street.
Bernanke and Treasury
Department Undersecretary
Robert Steel said that the conse-
quences to the
U.S. economy
and financial
system would
have been far
more serious
had the govern-
ment allowed
the nations fifth
largest invest-
ment house to
go bankrupt.
Given the
exceptional pressures on the glob-
al economy and financial system,
the damage caused by a default
by Bear Stearns could have been
severe and extremely difficult
to contain, Bernanke told the
Senate Banking Committee.
The panel conducted a five-
hour hearing as lawmakers sought
to understand the decisions made
during the hectic weekend of
March 14-15 after Bear Stearns
informed the Reserve that it was
on the verge of having to file for
bankruptcy protection because
nervous creditors were demand-
ing to be repaid.
The investment house was pur-
chased by JP Morgan Chase & Co.
with assistance from the Reserve
in the form of a loan backed by
$30 billion of Bear Stearns assets.
JP Morgan has agreed to absorb
the first $1 billion of losses if
the value of the assets declines,
but taxpayers are at risk for the
remaining $29 billion.
Bear Stearns, with a stock price
around $150 per share a year ago,
was sold for $10 a share, becom-
ing the biggest victim of a severe
credit crisis that hit financial mar-
kets in August.
That crisis, which was triggered
by a prolonged housing slump
and cascading mortgage defaults,
has made it harder for consumers
and businesses to get loans and
helped to push the country to the
brink of a recession.
Democrats on the Senate
Banking Committee questioned
why the Reserve was willing to
put such a large amount of money
at risk to protect Wall Street while
as many as 3 million homeowners
are facing the risk of defaulting on
their mortgages with the admin-
istration balking at greater efforts
to help them.
Was this a justified rescue
to prevent a systemic collapse of
financial markets or a $30 bil-
lion tax-
payer bail-
out for a
Wall Street
firm while
people on
Main Street
struggle to
pay their
mor t gag-
es? Senate
B a n k i n g
Committee
Chairman
Christopher Dodd asked Bernanke
and the other witnesses.
Bernanke said that govern-
ments effort was not a bailout
for Bear Stearns shareholders,
who will suffer big losses, but
an effort to protect the financial
system and ultimately the entire
economy, which could have faced
severe consequences from Bear
Stearns bankruptcy.
The adverse impact of a
default would not have been
confined to the financial system
but would have been felt broadly
in the real economy through its
effect on asset values and credit
availability, said Bernanke. On
Wednesday, Bernanke had for the
first time raised the possibility
that the current economic trou-
bles could push the country into
a recession.
Steel said that Treasury
Secretary Henry Paulson was
actively monitoring four days of
marathon negotiations that began
after Bear Stearns notified the
Fed on March 13 that it was one
day away from having to file for
bankruptcy protection. Steel said
the administration supported the
Feds decisions.
Most of the questions on the
deal centered on the value of the
assets the Fed is now holding as
collateral for the loan.

Lectures shed light on major dealers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Va. Desperate
to wiretap their target, federal
drug agents early one morning
scaled the roof of an auto garage
that by day served as a well-pro-
tected Harlem headquarters for
Mr. Untouchable, Leroy Nicky
Barnes, a major New York heroin
dealer who had eluded prison for
a decade. They dropped by rope
through a skylight and placed the
bug.
It didnt work.
Several nights later, rope in
hand, they were back on the roof.
They installed another bug.
This time, all we got was a
loud buzz, said Mary Buckley,
recalling an investigation three
decades ago in which the Drug
Enforcement Administration sent
her undercover at age 26 to help
catch Barnes.
Buckley and another retired
DEA agent, Lew Rice, who once
headed DEAs New York office,
described their role in convicting
Barnes and one of his major com-
petitors, Frank Lucas. Their lec-
tures Tuesday at the DEA Museum
kicked off a series celebrating the
agencys 35th birthday by recalling
its biggest triumphs.
Rice and Buckley provided a
stiff dose of reality about the 1970s
clash between drug dealers and
cops in New York City, which has
provided rich lore for the movies.
Hollywood has transformed this
collision into a mythic era through
films like Serpico, Prince of the
City, The French Connection
and its sequel, American
Gangster.
Its hard to defend against that
Hollywood machine, said Rice,
who spent 18 months prepping
Lucas to testify for the govern-
ment in return for a reduced sen-
tence. Rice said Lucas was nothing
like the man portrayed by actor
Denzel Washington in American
Gangster.
Born in a 1973 merger of drug
agencies, the DEA was devoted
to undercover work but inex-
perienced and ill-adapted to it,
Buckley said. Far from glamour
and high-tech wizardry, her world
in the mid-1970s meant sleepless
nights on spike heels in smoke-
filled joints with dangerous men,
wearing a bulky concealed trans-
mitter that burned her skin, using
index card files rather than com-
puter databases and searching for
functioning pay phones in a world
without cell phones.
Although sentenced to life in
prison in 1977, Barnes testified
against other dealers to win release
in 1998 and a new identity from
the witness protection program.
Buckley said he had a second
motive for helping prosecutors:
His henchmen had promised to
take care of his family but he
became furious when his associ-
ates started dating his old lady.
Retired DEA agents sued the
filmmakers for damages because
they ended the movie with an on-
screen note saying Lucas coop-
eration led to the conviction of
three-quarters of New York Citys
Drug Enforcement Agency.
There is no such agency and
Lucas played no role in convictions
of NYPD Special Investigations
Unit detectives, they argued. A
judge threw the case out because
the movie never says a federal
drug agent was corrupt.
When a movie says it is based
on reality and uses that kind of
closing notice, Rice said, I think
youve got a responsibility to get
it right.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
As part of the Drug Enforcement
Administrations 35th anniversary agents
are talking about what it took to convict
Frank Lucas, above, and competitor Leroy
NickyBarnes in the Harlemheroin trade,
as the agency highlights some of its biggest
triumphs.
... the damage caused by a
default by Bear Stearns could
have been severe and extremely
difcult to contain.

Old school is back with New Kids
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON They may be push-
ing 40, but the New Kids are return-
ing to the block.
The boy band New Kids on
the Block, which sold 70 million
albums in the 1980s and early 90s,
has reunited and plans to release
a new album and go on tour. The
reunion comes 20 years after the
release of the groups multiplatinum
album, Hanging Tough.
The fan response to this has
been incredible, band member
Donnie Wahlberg told the Boston
Herald.
Wahlberg said he was persuaded
to get back together with his former
bandmates Joey McIntyre, broth-
ers Jordan and Jonathan Knight and
Danny Wood when they decided
to record new music. Wahlberg said
he wrote 80 percent of the new
material with McIntyre and Jordan
Knight.
I had no interest going out on a
nostalgia tour and singing the same
material, said Wahlberg, 38.
But he added: We absolutely
will do the old songs for sure.
Producer Maurice Starr formed
the group in Boston in the 1980s.
At the height of their popu-
larity, New Kids sold out world
tours, marketed millions of dol-
lars in merchandise and spawned a
Saturday morning cartoon.

MySpace to develop music
store on bands Web pages
LOS ANGELES MySpace,
which has lured millions of big acts
and garage bands to build profles
to attract fans, said Thursday it will
turn those pages into portals for
selling music, merchandise and
more.
Helping to back the new
MySpace Music are three of the
biggest recording companies Vi-
vendi SAs Universal Music Group,
Sony BMG Music Entertainment
and Warner Music Group Corp.
The fourth-largest music com-
pany, EMI Group PLC, is not part of
the deal.
Chris DeWolfe, chief executive
of MySpace, said MySpace is in
licensing talks with everyone but
declined to say where discussions
stand with EMI, home to artists
such as Coldplay and Norah Jones.
MySpace Music, which will roll
out gradually in coming months,
will enable artists to sell music
downloads, concert tickets and
merchandise such as T-shirts
through their profle pages and to
ofer ringtones through a unit of
MySpace parent News Corp.

should Kansans support
a statewide smoking ban?
jordAn ryAn
Last Tuesday night was a typical
one in Lawrence. I got off work
at 10:30 and drove through the
blinking yellow lights. There was
no traffic, so I parked right across
from The Bottleneck.
As I walked in, I didnt think it
unusual that only 20 or 30 people
were hanging around the bar or
pool tables. But as I twirled and
stomped to the soulful twang of
Hoots and Hellmouth, I realized I
was dancing solo.
I stopped to wonder, Where
the hell were all the music lovers?
I wanted more bodies in the room
that night. I immediately wanted
to tell everyone with self-imposed
weeknight boredom that good
music and a good time are easy to
stumble upon.
Lawrence is known as an artsy
city, specifically regarding music.
The city boasts big music acts for
such an medium-size town.
When people ask, Why
Kansas? the local music scene is a
perk that defends Kansas dull and
traditional stereotype.
But even knee-deep in the
bluesy howls of Sean Hoots and
the crazed mandolin riffs of
Rob Berliner, it is obvious that
Lawrences music scene is lacking
the attention it deserves.
Everyone likes listening to
music, but we are getting lazy
about it.
Ive defended the use of iPods
and cell phones, but music lovers
should investigate the under-the-
radar events at Replay Lounge on
a Monday night or The Bottleneck
on a Tuesday.
With our MTVs and TRLs and
Rolling Stone magazines, it is easy
to swallow the glorifying articles
about our favorite popular bands
and regurgitated lost love, singer/
songwriter melodies crafted to fit
radio waves.
The Internet makes it easy to
get the singles we want, and down-
loading, legally or illegally, makes
music available 24/7.
These are the perks of our gen-
eration, but they also keep us from
going into the live arenas where
music is being performed.
Attending concerts and sup-
porting musicians can expose you
to sounds you may have never
thought youd enjoy, and it pro-
motes creativity and community
among those who place music
high in their lives.
Musicians cannot survive solely
on the publicity of their MySpace
pages.
Listeners have to get their asses
out and support them if they like
what they hear and if they want
Lawrence to attract budding musi-
cians.
Stop resorting to the recycling
of sounds pumped through your
stereo.
Lawrence has a lot of hidden
gems, scenes and hangouts to dis-
cover, but seeing a concert by a
local or small-time band merely
requires skimming some of the
myriad of posters on Massachusetts
Street.
If you are a music lover, take
advantage of the music in and
coming through Lawrence.
Expand your horizons. Check
out pipelineproductions.com to
see what bands, both popular and
not-as-mainstream, are coming
to The Granada, The Bottleneck,
Liberty Hall and Crossroads KC.
Oh!Mr. is a wonderful new
online music magazine that
reviews and interviews local bands.
You can read about who you may
or may not pay a cover to hear,
and the magazine will send you
updates about where to see local
favorites.
The classics are a staple in any
music collection, but it is easy
to underestimate how shaking up
the routine can inspire personal
creativity.
Not to mention you could have
a great time, see some new faces
and who knows, maybe even hear
your future favorite band.

Clinton stays afoat
in presidential race
The days of picking a par-
tys presidential candidate in
a smoke-flled backroom are
over. Now the party bosses go
straight to the television cam-
eras to try to publicly muscle
candidates out of the race.
Another unabashed at-
tempt to shove Sen. Hillary
Clinton out of the race for the
White House emerged this
past weekend as a few more
prominent Democrats called
for her exit. Clinton, who has
proven herself to be remark-
ably resilient in this campaign,
dutifully brushed of the
shameful strong-arm tactics,
saying people have a right to
vote.
Indeed they do.
We think Clinton should stay
in the race for now and allow
the remaining states to have a
voice in this important contest.
She also owes it to voters in
Florida and Michigan, two
large states where Democratic
voters have been completely
disenfranchised.
Democrats who want Hillary
out of the race will contend
shes hurting the party. But by
trying to force her out, they,
too, run the risk of furthering
any divide in their ranks.
Hard-fought primaries can
be tough on the eventual win-
ner, who may emerge bruised
and battered. But primaries
also can be healthy for a party,
and the winner can emerge
stronger and tested, especially
a relatively inexperienced can-
didate who hasnt been vetted
on a national stage.
The Denver Post
March 31 editorial
Chinas problems wont
detract from olympics
Despite its best eforts, Bei-
jing may be losing the battle to
script the Summer Games. The
real revelation in recent foot-
age of protests over the Beijing
Olympics was not the image
of a Reporters Without Borders
demonstrator being dragged
away by Greek security guards
dressed like stewards on the
Hindenburg. It was that dur-
ing his protest, at the Athens
torch-lighting ceremony, the
sole camera feed cut frst to a
long shot making it difcult to
see what was happening, then
cut away entirely to stock
footage. After a decent inter-
val, coverage returned to the
main event: a boom-camera
shot of a ceremony featuring
women in faux-classical gowns.
It says something about the
so-called spirit of the Olympics
that the frst inclination of the
people covering the event was
to try to suppress unwanted
information.
Its true that legitimate
concerns about human rights,
democracy and the behavior of
authoritarian thugs can lead to
knee-jerk politicization of the
event such as recent calls
for Bush to shun the Games.
But this is shaping up to
be the most exciting politi-
cal Olympics since the end of
the Cold War. The speed with
which Beijing has lost control
of the Olympic script is not
cause for cynicism but for
celebration. Strife, ferment and
the painful progress toward
liberal modernity by a free-
dom-challenged great power
may not be what the Inter-
national Olympic Committee
prefers to show us, but its a lot
more interesting than another
round of sports utopianism
and pretty production values.
Los Angeles Times
March 29 editorial
Its been a little bit since my
last entry. Ive had many con-
versations with my roommate
about who is currently the best
actor. Ive always considered
Denzel Washington my favorite
actor since I can remember and
I got to be honest, I believe he
is the best actor in Tinsel Town
right now.
Film by flm, just great. Man
On Fire,American Gangster,
John Q,Training Day,Inside
Man, and Deja Vu are some
of his more recent flms, which
are all fantastic. Now some of
the other names we brought
up were Mark Wahlberg and
Nicolas Cage. However, I feel
while both have made great
flms, theyve made some ques-
tionable flms as well. I thought
Ghost Rider was the worst
Cage flm I had ever seen.
With that said, I am surprised
Denzel hasnt won more Oscars.
Yes, his role in American Gang-
ster was similar to Training
Day, but he was damn good as
Frank Lucas. Now I am not really
sure what Washington flm I
would say was his best, anyone
got any thoughts? Also, care to
share who you guys consider
your favorite actor?

ASSoCiATED pRESS
A March 31 editorial in the
Lawrence Journal-World details
a proposal about a possible
statewide smoking ban:
Although its sponsor will be
surprised if a statewide smoking
ban clears the Legislature this
year, the time spent working on
the bill may not be wasted.
The full Senate may vote on
the measure approved by the
Senate Ways and Means Com-
mittee this week, Sen. David
Wysong said, but he doesnt ex-
pect the House to act on it this
session. However, he said, the
conversation that started in the
Legislature this year is likely to
make a smoking ban one of the
three or four top issues during
the election cycle leading up to
the November balloting.
A number of communities,
including Lawrence, have had
successful experience and a
relatively positive public re-
sponse to smoke-free clubs and
restaurants. That kind of public
support will make it much
easier for future Legislatures to
pursue a statewide ban.
The bill passed in the Senate
committee would prohibit
smoking in indoor public places
such as restaurants, bars and
businesses. Unlike an earlier
measure, however, it eliminated
the county option provision
that would have required all
Kansas counties to vote on the
ban before it could be enacted.
Dropping the county option is
a positive step. A statewide ban
would be more consistent and
easier to enforce.
During testimony concern-
ing the bill, Sen. Marci Francisco
told the committee that Law-
rences smoking ban had been
a success and that sales tax
collections from food services
and drinking establishments
had actually increased since the
ordinance took efect.
The desire to avoid tobacco
smoke for health reasons may
not be the deciding issue for
many voters, but if candidates
hear a groundswell of support
during upcoming legislative
campaigns, they will be much
more likely to pursue eforts to
institute a statewide ban.
What are your thoughts?
Should Kansas implement
this ban? Send responses to
kansanopdesk@gmail.com. Re-
sponses will be printed Friday.
ASSoCiATED pRESS
The Kansas Senate Ways and Means Committee has encouraged a smoking ban,
but Sen. DavidWysong, a Republican on the committee, said the House probably would
not act on it. The proposal would ban smoking in indoor public places, including bars and
restaurants.

unC CoaCh roy Williams?
DAllAS SchMiTeNDORf

Ive got no hard feelings.
Everyones pretty bitter about
it, but he gave us a lot of great
years. You cant blame him for
leaving for his alma mater.
SeRiNA heikeS

I dont hate him like most
people do. Im over him leaving
and ready to meet him again
and beat him.
ANDY SpAlDiNg

When he left, I was resilient
because I thought it was for the
money. But I still respect him
and hes a good coach. I can
understand why he wanted to
go home to North Carolina.
JeSSe WilliAMS
Wichita senior
I hate him. I hope he never
wins a national championship
(at North Carolina). I hope he
never shows his face in Kansas
again.
AARON SieMeRS
Derby senior
I really appreciate what he
did for KU, but I am a little bit-
ter about the way he left, so I
would like to see the Jayhawks
beat them.
kRiSTiNA lUpeRciO
Overland park sophomore
He did a lot for Kansas, and
people need to appreciate him
instead of talking bad about
him. Its Bill Selfs team now.
If Kansas can defeat North
Carolina tomorrow, it will advance
to the National Championship
Game. And amazingly, it seems as
if thats a secondary goal to Jayhawk
fans.
National Championship? Nah.
No time to worry about that.
Collectively, Jayhawk Nation is too
preoccupied dreaming about get-
ting back at big, bad Roy to enjoy
what is a truly unique experience
the Final Four.
Kansas has advanced this far
only 13 times since the inception
of the NCAA Tournament in 1939.
Thats once every six years.
So why waste this once, maybe
twice-a-decade excitement by fum-
ing about something that was bound
to happen? Especially when the
person its directed toward, North
Carolina coach Roy Williams, has
a lot to do with where the Kansas
program is now, and especially
when Williams is approaching the
topic in the classiest way possible.
I have the greatest love for a
place that I gave my heart, my
body and my soul for 15 years,
Williams said at a press conference
last weekend.
In 2004, the year after Williams
left, it would be understandable if
this game contained this amount of
ire. But its 2008 and five years later.
Its time to get over it its even
time to celebrate what Williams
accomplished here.
By showing such hostility
toward the Tar Heels, Jayhawk fans
are resembling exactly what they
despise. Think about Kansas State
basketball this season.
What was so frustrating about
the Wildcats was that freshman
phenoms Michael Beasley and Bill
Walker werent promising a run in
the NCAA Tournament or a Big 12
Conference title. They were talking
about beating Kansas.
Thats all anyone in Manhattan
cared about Kansas, Kansas,
Kansas. The Cats possessed a seri-
ous inferiority complex.
But at the end of it all, when
Beasley was checking out of K-
States second round rout by
Wisconsin, the Jayhawk fans took
the high road. Those clad in blue
at the Qwest Center in Omaha,
Neb., rose to their feet and gave
the nations best player a standing
ovation.
And that was for Michael Beasley,
who doesnt deserve nearly the
same recognition from Kansas fans
as Roy Williams does. Nine con-
ference championships. Four Final
Fours. 418 career victories. Yeah,
Roys accomplishments at Kansas
should speak for themselves.
Dont let that inferiority complex
creep southeast down I-70, and
dont think Roy Williams doesnt
look back fondly on those 15 years
of dominance. Just ask the only guy
who gets more television time than
Barack Obama, Flo Rida and Eliot
Spitzer combined: North Carolina
junior forward Tyler Hansbrough.
Hes got a lot of memories
there, Hansbrough said. And a lot
of good people that he knows from
there. And hes got a lot of relation-
ships.
True, but he should have
even more good relationships in
Lawrence. He should be recognized
as another iconic figure in the
linked history of Kansas and North
Carolina basketball.
Dean Smith graduated from
Kansas and went on to become
arguably the greatest coach of all
time at North Carolina. Larry
Brown played at North Carolina
before winning a national champi-
onship as a coach at Kansas. Both
schools are proud to be connected
to Smith and Brown. Like it or
not, Williams is the next legendary
name in this cycle.
Agree or disagree, Williams had
to take the chance and return to his
alma mater to coach. Its just natural
to go back to where you came from.
Tom Glavine went back to Atlanta
to wear a Braves uniform, Bruce
Dickinson re-joined Iron Maiden
and E.T. returned to well, wherever
it was from.
But you get the point: The
animosity towards Roy Williams
should stop. Potentially, something
a lot more important will be taking
place.

The Daily Tar Heel
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. I
remember it like it was five years
ago. Oh yeah. It was.
The United States had just
taken control of Baghdad, end-
ing the rule of Saddam Hussein.
Jack Nicholson was psyching
up Adam Sandler on the silver
screen.
Roy Williams had just
taken Kansas to the NCAA
Championship, where the
Jayhawks would lose to freshman
phenom Carmelo Anthony and
Syracuse.
Yes. It was that long ago.
Carmelo Anthony is now well
on his way to his second NBA
All-Star Game. Saddam Hussein
is more than a year removed
from this planet. And Bill Self
has taken Kansas to his first
career Final Four, which tips off
Saturday night in San Antonio.
And yes. He and the Jayhawks
are set to face Roy Williams Tar
Heels squad. But honestly, why
does that matter?
Since that tear-filled day in
April 2003 I will reiterate,
2003 the KU roster has flipped
along with its student body. In
fact, of the current Kansas play-
ers, only Jeremy Case was even
recruited by Williams, and he is
averaging just five minutes per
game. This is Bill Self s team.
But even more so, these are the
Kansas Jayhawks and they are
playing the North Carolina Tar
Heels.
And no matter how many
years Williams spent in Lawrence,
those years are now irrelevant. At
the opening tip tomorrow night,
Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers,
Russell Robinson, Darnell
Jackson and Darrell Arthur will
be taking the court against Ty
Lawson, Wayne Ellington, Marcus
Ginyard, Deon Thompson and
Tyler Hansbrough.
And they, along with the guys
who check in at the scorers table,
will determine the outcome of
the game.
The coaches will be, rightfully
so, in the background. This game
is about the players. And neither
Self nor Williams would have
you believe anything else. Both
have said as much many times
this week.
So the next time you want to
hop back to 2003, just rent Anger
Management. The only thing
Williams might have wrong with
that is the fact that he hasnt aged
nearly as gracefully as Marissa
Tomei.

Laughter could wait. Jeremy
Case had to keep playing his role.
He sat in the corner of the
locker room at Ford Field, sur-
rounded by Matt Kleinmann,
Chase Buford, Brad Witherspoon,
Brennan Bechard, Conner Teahan
and Tyrel Reed. They staged a
fake interview, and Case was the
subject.
Mr. Case, Buford asked, in
your own personal opinion, how
old is Stephen Curry?
Thats a good question, Case
replied, holding back while his
teammates cracked up. Now this
is off the record, but Id say 14.
He finally gave in and started
laughing.
These are happy times for Case
and his other four senior team-
mates, guard Russell Robinson,
forward Darnell Jackson, center
Sasha Kaun and guard Rodrick
Stewart. After going through four
years of gut-wrenching tourna-
ment losses, theyre at the Final
Four in San Antonio. By Sunday or
Tuesday at the latest, their Kansas
careers will have come to an end.
For now, theyre savoring their last
days and counting on their senior
experience to help Kansas reach
the ultimate goal of winning a
national title.
Not too many people get to
experience this, even going to the
Final Four, Stewart said. Im still
in awe of that. But to win the
whole thing? Pssh. Youre talking
about making history, man. Thats
big right there.
Jackson never paid close atten-
tion to the Final Four until his
sophomore year of high school.
That year, 2002, he watched
Drew Gooden and the Jayhawks
against Maryland from his home
in Oklahoma City. After watch-
ing Gooden, he asked his mom,
Shawn, if she ever thought he
could make it that far.
She just laughed.
During the past three years,
Shawns reaction seemed justified.
Jackson and his senior teammates
seemed destined to never make it
to the final weekend. As freshmen,
they sat on the bench together and
watched a vaunted Kansas senior
class get shocked by Bucknell in
the first round. They didnt learn
and fell to Bradley the next sea-
son.
Losing in
the first round
hurts, Jackson
said. It hurts
a lot.
Last season,
Jackson sensed
that this time it
would be dif-
ferent. He told
Case before they
left for the sec-
ond weekend of
the tournament
in San Jose that
they were going to make the Final
Four. Instead, Kansas lost another
heartbreaker, this time to UCLA
in the Elite Eight.
The losses werent the worst
part either. Jackson went through
several well-documented tragedies
and a suspension for receiving
improper benefits. Stewart strug-
gled to adjust after transferring
from Southern California and lost
his brother to murder two months
ago. Robinson had a bad case of
homesickness his freshman year.
Case dealt with a redshirt season
and playing for a coach that didnt
recruit him, and Kaun battled
inconsistency problems.
Just going through stuff like
that makes you tougher and brings
you closer, Stewart said.
After all the turmoil, the seniors
had one final March run to put it
all together. Theyd already won
four Big 12 titles and three confer-
ence tournament championships,
but they needed something more
to secure their place in history.
They needed a Final Four.
They know at Kansas were
measured at a high level and they
want to go out as being recognized
as one of the winningest classes,
coach Bill Self said earlier this
season. Its hard to do that if you
win Big 12 tiles and dont go to the
Final Four.
The magical run for the seniors
started in the Villanova game last
Friday. Kansas
had won two
games already,
but the
seniors started
making a dif-
ference that
night. Before
they ran on
the court,
Stewart told
Jackson this
couldnt be
their last game.
Freshman cen-
ter Cole Aldrich heard another
senior, Robinson, make a prom-
ise.
Im not going to let him score
on me, Robinson declared, speak-
ing about Villanova star Scottie
Reynolds.
Reynolds didnt score until
Kansas already held a big lead.
Robinson poured in 13 points in
the first half.
Another senior, Kaun, stepped
up against Davidson two days later.
Kaun admitted that he didnt quite
understand the importance of the
NCAA Tournament in previous
seasons. The guy had only been
playing ball in America for about
six years. He fully understood it
this time because of the sting of
last years Elite Eight loss, so much
so that he riled the team up in the
locker room then backed up his
talk with a game-saving 13-point,
six-rebound performance.
He couldnt have done that
last season. Robinson probably
wouldnt have played with the
same desire either. They did it
because they were seniors.
I dont think you could ever
tell a junior that a senior cares
more than you until next year
when hes a senior, Self said. And
then hell say I cared more than I
did because theres no safety net.
There is no next year for these
guys, so for all these seniors who
have given their heart and soul to
the program, there is certainly a
different feel than if they have a
safety net.
Now theyre in San Antonio.
Theyre in the Final Four, the goal
that seemed so far away after those
first round losses and the Elite
Eight disappointment.
Next week, they might be
champions or they might not. The
only guarantee is that theyll be
finished with their KU careers.
All five seniors are on pace to
graduate in May and go their sepa-
rate ways from there. Case, Kaun,
Robinson and Stewart all want
to pursue professional careers.
Jackson could be a pro if he wants,
but he maintains that hes always
thought about helping out in Big
Brothers Big Sisters organizations
after school.
They try to think about the end
as little as possible and say theyre
going to miss the team camarade-
rie and the fans the most when its
finally over.
But thats the thing. Theyre not
through yet.
They have one more weekend
to add to their legacy and mostly
to enjoy being a Jayhawk one final
time in the place theyve dreamt of
being for four years.
From what I hear, Robinson
said, no matter how successful
you are at the next level, this is
going to be the time that is most
memorable for you.

Jackson
Stewart
Kaun
But to win the whole thing?
Pssh. Youre talking about mak-
ing history, man. Thats big right
there.

North CaroliNa
tyler hansbrough
6-foot-9 forward
Hansbrough could be the most polarizing
player in the nation. Analysts love his
full throttle approach to the game, while
opposing fans love to hate the fact that
he consistently hustles
his way to rebounds.
Hansbrough doesnt
look as fuid as Kansas
State post Michael
Beasley with the ball in
his hands, but he is a
capable shooter from
18 feet and in. The
6-foot-9 juniors best
quality is his uncanny
ability to draw fouls. Hansbrough is
averaging nearly 10 free-throw attempts
per game, and he shoots 81 percent from
the line.
2008 stats: 32.9 minutes per game, 22.8
points per game, 10.3 rebounds per
game, .542 feld goal percentage
KaNsas
Mario Chalmers
6-foot-1 guard
A look at Kansas ofensive statistics
suggests the Jayhawks dont have one
standout performer. Though the Jay-
hawks do spread out
their scoring, Chalm-
ers is the teams most
efcient player. The
Anchorage, Alaska, na-
tive is in the top fve in
the Big 12 Conference
in assists per game,
three-point feld goal
accuracy and points
per shot attempt this
season. Chalmers can play either point
guard or shooting guard, and his length
could cause match-up problems for North
Carolina guards Ty Lawson and Quentin
Thomas. On top of that, Chalmers is a
fantastic defender. He provides the per-
fect complement to senior guard Russell
Robinsons on-ball pressure, waiting to
snag opponents lazy passes.

UCla
Kevin love
6-foot-10 forward
Think Tyler Hansbrough with style. Love
does everything Hansbrough does: He
scores efciently in the post, he gets to
the free-throw line and pulls down huge
quantities of rebounds. Oh yeahhe can
also shoot from deep
and pass like a point
guard. Love is shoot-
ing 37 percent from
three-point range this
season. Loves outlet
passes are a staple of
UCLAs ofense, as he
can turn a defensive
rebound into a fast
break in a fick of his
wrists and a 50-foot pass to a streaking Bruin
guard. Love is actually a better rebounder
and defender than Hansbrough, but has
gone comparatively unnoticed because he
played most of his games on the west coast.

Chris Douglas-roberts
6-foot-7 guard
Chris Douglas-Roberts is to Memphis
what Mario Chalmers is to Kansas. The
6-foot-7 wing is capable of taking over on
ofense from either the
perimeter (42 percent
three-point shooting)
or by heading to the
hoop (206 free throw
attempts). CDR, as
he is called by the
Memphis faithful, is
the Tigers top scoring
option and has the
long enough arms to cause trouble for
opponents on the defensive end. The
matchup between Douglas-Roberts and
UCLA guard Josh Shipp could be intense
Shipp is a physical lockdown defender,
while Douglas-Roberts is a silky smooth
scoring machine.

feated Mount St.

Second round:
defeated Arkan-
sas 108-77
Sweet Sixteen:
defeated Wash-
ington State
68-47
Elite Eight: defeated Louisville 83-73
Breakdown:
How good has North Carolina been this tournament?
So good, that Russell Robinson felt the need to turn
away from the screen while watching the Tar Heels
dismantle Louisville in the Elite Eight. Robinson didnt
need to see that.
In his ffth season at North Carolina, Roy Williams team
is 36-2, yet still doesnt have the best record at the Final
Four that belongs to 37-1 Memphis. The Tar Heels,
who have won 15 games in a row, braved injuries this
season. Reserve guard, junior Bobby Frasor, was lost
for the season to an ACL tear in December, and start-
ing point guard, sophomore Ty Lawson missed seven
games in the middle of the season after sufering a left
ankle sprain. Pity the Tar Heels? Hardly. The Tar Heels
are deep, talented, and poised to deliver Williams his
second title in four years.
two reasons they will unlock the trophy case:
1. Tyler Hansbrough They dont call North Carolinas
junior power forward Psycho-T because he likes
Snapple. Hansbrough, the likely National Player of the
Year, is relentless, and no doubt, the craziest player in
San Antonio.

2. Coaching Kansas Bill Self, UCLAs Ben Howland
and Memphis John Calipari are all coaches capable of
leading a team to a title. But Williams is the only coach
whos cut down the nets at the Final Four.
two reasons they will not:
1. Defense If its true that defense win championships,
then you might not want to go with the Tar Heels. They
give up 72.2 points per game, partly because they play
real fast, but Roy Williams coached teams have always
been vulnerable to teams that play at a slow pace.
2. Karma Youd have to think the college basketball
gods have a sense of humor. What could be funnier
than Williams going down to Kansas on Saturday
night?
Memphis (37-1)
Memphis, Tenn.
Final Fours: 2
NCAA Championships: None
Famous Alumni: former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson, NFL
player Isaac Bruce,
how they got here:
First round: defeated
Texas-Arlington 87-63
Second round: defeated
Mississippi State 77-74
Sweet Sixteen: defeated
Michigan State 92-74
Elite Eight: defeated Texas
85-67
Breakdown:
Come on, admit it, you werent expecting Memphis to
steamroll Texas 85-67 in the South Regional fnal. The
Tigers a group that seemed to be everyones choice to
be the No. 1 seed that would lose frst are laughing all
the way to San Antonio.
Has there ever been a team more disrespected than
Memphis? At 37-1, the Tigers have already tied the all-time
NCAA Division I record for victories. Still, some prognos-
ticators fgured Memphis was simply a mirage generated
by a weak Conference-USA schedule. Well, the Tigers went
out and decimated Michigan State and Texas in Regional
Semi-Finals and Finals in Houston and weak conference or
not, the Tigers look like a team that could win it all. Led by
junior shooting guard Chris Douglas-Roberts and fresh-
man point guard Derrick Rose, coach John Caliparis squad
is outrageously athletic and playing like a team that knows
its being doubted.
1. Point guard play Memphis freshman Derrick Rose, a
would-be member of the I look 10 years older than I am
club, has always been a athletic specimen. Now, Rose is
playing like a pure point guard. His assist to turnover ratio
is 4.7-to-1 during the NCAA tourmament and hes still scor-
ing 24 points per game in the last two rounds.
2. Theyre overlooked If any of these teams has the
proverbial chip on its shoulder, its Memphis. Kansas,
UCLA and North Carolina are basketball institutions, while
Memphis is relatively new to the Final Four scene. Never
underestimate a team that feels overlooked.
1. The big guys While the other three teams all have
post-players averaging double-fgures, Memphis does not.
If Rose and Douglas-Roberts perform poorly, Memphis
might be in trouble.
2. The supporting cast Want to know how to beat
Memphis? Ask Tennessee. The Volunteers beat Memphis at
Memphis on Feb. 23. Howd they do it? They let Douglas-
Roberts and Rose score, and stopped everybody else.
Douglas-Roberts and Rose had 14 and 23 points respec-
tively, while the rest of the team fnished with 25 points. If
Memphis wants the title, they need to be more balanced.
UCLA (36-3)

Valley State 70-29
Second round: defeated
Texas A&M 51-49
Sweet Sixteen: defeated
Western Kentucky 88-78
Elite Eight: defeated Xavier
76-57
Breakdown:
Whats UCLA coach Ben Howlands favorite part about his
teams third straight Final Four appearance? Florida is nowhere
to be seen. The Gators eliminated UCLA in the last two Final
Fours, beating them in the Championship game in 2006
and in the National Semifnal last season. Howlands second
favorite part about this years Final Four? He now has Kevin
Love. UCLAs freshman center is a frst-team All-American and
hes owned this years tournament averaging 24 points and
12 rebounds per game in victories against Western Kentucky
and Xavier. Howlands Bruins were ousted the last two years
because Floridas big guys Joakim Noah and Al Horford
controlled the inside. Now Howland has his own wide body
inside, and Love and Howland just may deliver title No. 12 to
Tinseltown.
1. Experience Some pundits would have you believe that all
the Bruins need is Love as in Kevin Love. But UCLAs most
important player might be junior point guard Darren Col-
lison. Hes averaging 14.8 points per game and shooting 53.0
percent from the three-point line. Need a refresher? Cue up
Kansas Elite Eight game against UCLA last season and press
play.
2. Defense One reason North Carolina might not win this
weekend, is the same reason UCLA might. Ben Howland
stresses defense and the Bruins generally listen. UCLA has sur-
rendered 80 points only once this season, against California,
and its opponents are scoring 58.5 points per game.
1. Luck runs out To say the Bruins have been benefciaries of
some controversial calls, is a little like saying fried food is bad
for you both statements are painfully obvious. Dont follow?
Well, then you must not have seen the last play of the UCLA
Texas A&M game in the second round. The point? UCLA has
been catching breaks from ofcials and eventually things may
even out.
2. Conference history The Pac-10 hasnt had a basketball
National Champion since Arizona in 1997. Every other major
conference, besides the Big 12, which hasnt won a title since
1988, has won a title since the Pac-10s last championship.

Breakdown:
The question was posed to Kansas
senior forward Darnell Jackson.
Will Kansas be satisfed by just
making it to the Final Four? Jack-
son paused. He didnt quite fol-
low. The question was re-phrased.
Jacksons answer was clearer than
the question: No. Kansas goal
all season has been the National
Championship. Kansas motivation
shouldnt be a problem. The real
problem might be that Kansas
simply doesnt have the ammuni-
tion to battle its way through a
gauntlet of a Final Four. Four num-
ber one seeds. For the frst time
ever. Who ever wins this thing
should be applauded. You could
make the case Kansas got of easy
with its road to the Final Four. A
No. 16 seed, a No. 8 seed, a No.
12 seed, and a No. 10. Not many
world-beaters on that road. Still,
if Kansas maneuvers its way to
the Trophy ceremony on Monday
night, nobody can question the
Jayhawks easy early-round sched-
ule. Maybe junior guard Brandon
Rush will even be standing on the
platform, channeling his inner
Aqib Talib, and shouting, They
gotta say we played somebody
now, They gotta say we played
somebody.
two reasons they will unlock
the trophy case:
1. Its Destiny All the stars
seemed to have aligned. Its been
20 years since Kansas last title, the
star of that team, Danny Manning,
is now on the Kansas sideline,
and the fans get a revenge game
against Roy Williams along the
way. Hollywood couldnt write this
stuf.
2. Balance Florida had it while
winning the last two national
titles. The Jayhawks do too. Seven
players who could lead the team
in scoring any given game. Want
to stop Kansas? Pick three or four
guys to stop and the other three
or four guys will probably step up.
1. Balance Confused? Well, Bill
Self said it best on Tuesday. Kansas
greatest strength might be its
biggest weakness as well. Whos
Kansas go-to-guy? Well, we dont
know. The lack of a go-to scorer
in crunch time might haunt the
Jayhawks this weekend.
2. Do the Math Kansas has won
two national championships
in the past 56 years 1952 and
1988. Can Kansas win the title on
Monday night? Sure. Is it likely?
Unfortunately not.

BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
Darrell Arthur has played
against Tyler Hansbrough well,
once.
In the summer of 2003, Kansas
sophomore forward shared the floor
with Hansbrough then a high
school junior at the Nike Hoop
Jamboree. Arthur might have trou-
ble recognizing that Hansbrough
today. That Hanbrough was a
little lighter, a little shorter and
his skills a little less polished. But
the faint memory Arthur has of
Hansbrough includes the one skill
that made Hansbrough the face of
college basketball.
He had the same motor,
Arthur said.
Nearly five years later, Arthur
will step back on to the floor with
Hansbrough, and the player they
call Psycho-T needs no introduc-
tion. No longer the baby-faced kid
at Nike camp, Hansbrough has
morphed into a rebound-grab-
bing, body-banging basketball
Tazmanian devil.
A first-team All-American and
likely National Player of the Year,
Hansbrough could give Kansas
its toughest defensive test of the
season. Hansbroughs raw strength
and athleticism combined with an
unflappable will make Hansbrough
an opposing coachs nightmare.
What dont you know about
Hansbrough?, Kansas senior for-
ward Darnell Jackson said. Hes a
great player.
Jackson, along with Arthur,
senior Sasha Kaun, and as Self
noted, freshman Cole Aldrich,
will all be counted on to defend
Hansbrough, who comes into
Saturdays National semi-final
averaging 22.8 points and 10.3
rebounds per game.
There might not be a defini-
tive way to defend Hansbrough.
Dont believe it? Ask the coaches
in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Although they might not want to
talk about it.
Not after the way Hansbrough
gashed Miami for 35 points on
Jan. 23.
He just completely dominated,
Miami coach Frank Haith told
reporters after the game.
He ran up 39 points on Clemson
in an overtime victory on Feb. 10,
and toyed with N.C. State to the
tune of 32 points on Feb. 20.
Still, his best performance
of the season might have come
against Louisville last weekend, as
Hansbrough drove the Tar Heels to
the Final Four with 28 points and
13 rebounds.
He plays harder than probably
anybody in the country, Arthur
said.
The legend of Psycho-T is still
growing in Chapel Hill, N.C., and
leading the Tar Heels back to the
Final Four for its 17th time in
school history hasnt hurt. Some
Hansbrough legends have even
made their way back to Lawrence.
I hear stories about how when
theyre on off days, Jackson said
hes in the gym, five hours, work-
ing on his own.
Hes from missouri
Theyve been saying it since he
was in high school. Hes all grit
and intensity and heart. He just
outworks people. The insinua-
tion? Hansbrough isnt particularly
skilled. Its a stereotype Hansbrough
scoffs out.
I think some of my other skills
are overlooked, Hansbrough said.
Of course, he was dominant in
high school. Hansbrough, with the
help of his little brother Ben, who
now plays at Mississippi State, won
two Missouri 5A state champion-
ships at Poplar Bluff High School.
Poplar Bluff, a town of about
16,000, sits in the Ozark foothills
about 30 miles from the Arkansas
border.
Who would have ever thought,
starting out in Poplar Bluff,
Hansbrough said, I would end
up playing at North Carolina, and
then go play at a Final Four.
By the time Hansbrough was a
senior in high school, Kansas coach
Bill Self already knew all about
the Missouri high school star. As
Hansbroughs profile was rising,
Poplar Bluff played a nationally
televised game against Greg Odens
high school team. Poplar Bluff lost,
but the nation saw Hansbrough
and so did Arthur, who recalled the
Hansbrough versus Oden matchup
before practice on Tuesday.
Its no secret, Kansas wanted
Hansbrough bad.
We recruited Tyler very hard,
Self said. He visited here. Back
then you knew that he would be
something special.
North Carolina, Kansas and
Kentucky were all hot in pursuit.
Williams and North Carolina
won out.
Hansbrough won National
Freshman of the year in 2006, but
a young North Carolina team fell
to upstart George Mason in the
second round of the NCAA tour-
nament. Last season Hansbrough
was named an AP first team All-
American, but again the Tar Heels
fell short of the Final Four by giv-
ing up a late lead to Georgetown in
the Elite Eight.
This season Hansbrough lifted
North Carolina over the Final Four
hump.
We just want to keep on mov-
ing, Hansbrough said.

If Kansas has any advantage in
finding a way to stop Hansbrough,
it can thank ESPN.
Bill Self said Kansas players
were able to watch North Carolina
play at least 10 times this year,
because North Carolina seems to
play every game on national tele-
vision.
The theory goes like this: The
more times you see a team play,
the more familiar you are with its
tendencies and style of play.
Self said Kansas saw Davidson
play maybe once before it played
the Wildcats in the Elite Eight.
That alone put Kansas at a natural
disadvantage, Self said.
Unlike Davidson, North
Carolina is a media darling. The
Tar Heels play on ESPN regularly,
and Hansbrough seems to spend
more time on television than
Anderson Cooper.
Their whole team has been the
talk of the town, the talk of the
national news, Arthur said. Were
just going to have to come bring
our A game and play.
Arthur said Kansas will
throw everybody they have at
Hansbrough.
As for specific match-ups,
Self said Kaun would be the
Jayhawks best option to contain
Hansbrough.
If you just look at it on paper,
Sashas standing height and size
would be as good a match-up as we
would have with him, Self said.
But Kaun wont play the entire
game, which will leave Jackson
and Arthur to guard Hansbrough
at times.
Nearly five years ago, Arthur
was a high school sophomore,
guarding Hansbrough at the Nike
Hoop Jamboree. Now the stage is a
little bit bigger.
But for Arthur, the key to
Hansbrough has stayed the same.
Its all about the motor.
The whole team, Arthur said,
is going to have to match his
intensity.

All season long, the
Jayhawks relied on balanced
scoring and the belief that
anyone could step up in a big
game and deliver down the
stretch. Russell Robinson has
said many times that several
players could take the shots
in the most important parts of
the game.
But in reality, Kansas does
have a go-to-guy.
If you study it, said Kansas
coach Bill Self, youll find out
who our go-to guys are.
Its Mario Chalmers. In
games settled by five points
or fewer, hes done the most
damage in the games last four
minutes.
The Jayhawks have played
six games decided by that
margin: against Arizona,
Southern California, Georgia
Tech, Texas, Oklahoma State
and Davidson. In the last
four minutes of those games,
Chalmers scored a total of 19
points.
He doesnt necessarily
want the spotlight, Robinson
said, doesnt want all the
attention, all the publicity. But
at the same time, he wants the
ball in his hands. Hes going to
do it at the stake of the team
doing well.
Chalmers best late-game
run came against USC. He
scored seven points in the
final four minutes, includ-
ing a big three-pointer that
put Kansas up for good.
He also had six points and
the game-tying free throws
against Arizona and six in
the last four minutes of a loss
at Texas.
No other player comes
close to matching Chalmers
production down the stretch
of close games. Collins
scored six points in the last
four minutes of the Georgia
Tech victory but otherwise
hasnt scored at the end of
close games. Darrell Arthur
also has six total points in the
six tight games.
Perhaps most surprising-
ly, Brandon Rush has only
scored a total of four points
down the stretch and shot
the ball less than one-third as
many times as Chalmers. Its
clear, Kansas wants Chalmers
to have the ball at the end,
and hes fine with that.
Ive always thought of
myself as the guy who could
do it with the game on the
line, Chalmers said.

The Jayhawks will have their
legion of fans with them in San
Antonio. They will also have at
least one more rooting for them in
New Orleans.
Julian Wright, who left school
last season for the NBA and is
now a member of the New Orleans
Hornets, has kept up on his for-
mer team throughout the year. He
regularly checks his cell phone or
computer for KU scores and still
keeps in touch with his former
teammates.
Wright said this years Kansas
team had two characteristics last
years team didnt: momentum and
12 more months of know-how,
both of which he said could benefit
Kansas this weekend.
Another year of experience does
wonders, Wright said.
He added that this years team
wasnt satisfied just yet, and it could
accomplish more than it already
had.
Playing at a place like Kansas,
expectations are always Final Four,
he said. But I think this year were
really equipped. Everyones bought
into the system and playing unself-
ish ball.
Wright is in a position to pos-
sibly win a championship himself.
The Hornets are a lock for the
NBA Playoffs and are battling for
the first place seed in the Western
Conference. Since Wright left col-
lege, he has taken his game to the
perimeter and plays small forward
in the pros, although he has played
sparingly this season, averaging
three points and two rebounds a
game.
Wright said he had no regrets
about leaving school early and
wished his old team well.
I bleed crimson and blue, he
said.
Crunch time no problem for Chalmers

Wright still bleeds

There are plenty of reasons
Kansas basketball tradition is con-
sidered one of the greatest in the
nation. Lawrence has been graced
with great players, great coaches
and great games for longer than a
century. But the most impressive
figure in the Jayhawk record books
could be 13. Kansas 13 Final Four
appearances are tied for the fourth
most in college basketball.
1940 The Jayhawks made their
first foray into Final Four basketball
in the second year of the NCAA
Tournaments existence. Kansas,
coached by Phog Allen, played
its way past USC in the national
semifinal before losing to Branch
McCrackens Indiana Hoosiers in
the title game.
1952 Kansas made up for an
11-season Final Four drought by
blowing past its competition in
the 1952 NCAA Tournament. The
Jayhawks won by an average of 12
points per game in the tournament,
including a 17-point dispatching of
St. Johns to take the championship.
Clyde Lovellette dominated the
final game for Kansas, scoring 33
points and grabbing 17 rebounds.
1953 As defending national
champions, Kansas made another
trip to the championship game. But
the Jayhawks couldnt pull off a vic-
tory against Indiana without Clyde
Lovellette. The Hoosiers won their
second NCAA title in their second
championship match up against the
Jayhawks.
1957 Wilt Chamberlains
Jayhawks came excruciatingly
close to winning a national cham-
pionship in 1957, falling to North
Carolina by one point in three
overtimes. Chamberlain notched a
double-double in the national final,
but four Tar Heels scored in double
digits in the 54-53 North Carolina
victory.
1971 Kansas won two close
games to find its way to the Final
Four before UCLA knocked the
Jayhawks into the third-place
game, 68-60. The Dave Robisch-
led Jayhawks didnt have much luck
in the consolation game, falling to
Western Kentucky by two points.
1974 Kansas couldnt make
it out of the national semifinal in
1974, as Marquette spanked the
Jayhawks by 13 points. North
Carolina State used a bit of home
court advantage to its favor in the
Final Four, defeating Marquette,
76-64, in Greensboro, N.C.
1986 Larry Brown took the
Jayhawks to the Final Four in his
third year as head coach, but Duke
stymied Kansas in the national
semifinal. The 1986 tournament
marked the third straight Final
Four in which the Jayhawks did
not advance to the championship
game.
1988 Several decades of
hard luck turned around in 1988,
thanks to Danny Manning and
the Miracles. Mannings Jayhawks
entered the NCAA Tournament as
a No. 6 seed but ran their way past
Xavier, Murray State, Vanderbilt
and Kansas State en route to the
Final Four. The Jayhawks defeated
Duke in the semifinal before over-
coming conference-foe Oklahoma,
83-79, in the championship.
1991 Roy Williams first trip
to the Final Four as Kansas head
coach didnt result in a champion-
ship, but the No. 3 seed Jayhawks
surprised the nation during their
run through the brackets. Mark
Randall, an underrated big man,
led the Jayhawks streak, which
ended in a championship-game
loss to Duke.
1993 Kansas dominated its
way through the 1993 NCAA
Tournament before meeting its
match in North Carolina. The Tar
Heels, who eventually won the
national championship, defeated
the Jayhawks by 10 points in New
Orleans.
2002 After flirting with a loss
against Holy Cross in the first round
of the NCAA Tournament, Kansas
turned on the jets and advanced
to the 2002 Final Four in Atlanta.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, a
phenomenal Maryland Terrapin
squad full of future NBA stars
awaited them. Maryland defeated
Kansas by nine points and eventu-
ally won the title.
2003 The Jayhawks most
recent trip to the Final Four was
one of the programs most frustrat-
ing. An uber-talented Kansas team
fell to Hakim Warrick and Carmelo
Anthonys Syracuse team in the
national championship, 81-78. To
add insult to injury, coach Roy
Williams bolted for North Carolina
shortly after the end of the season.

The 20-year anniversary has
been brought up plenty of times this
month as Kansas has embarked on
its NCAA Tournament journey.
Weve heard a thousand times
how Kansas last won the title in
1988 and how it could be des-
tiny that the Jayhawks win it again
this season. But were all forgetting
something. Why the heck has it
been so long since a national title?
Since 1988, Duke has won three
national championships. North
Carolina, Florida and Kentucky
have won two.
While those powers have all
taken titles home, Kansas has
blown it for the most part. The
Jayhawks have reached four Final
Fours but never taken home the
trophy. Theyve also lost in the first
or second round seven times. Ow.
Heres a quick recap on how
Kansas missed out on each season
since 1988.
1989 - The season that never
really mattered. Roy Williams led
Kansas to 19 victories in his first
year, but the Jayhawks were on
probation and couldnt compete in
postseason tournaments.
1990 - A long era of heartbreak
begins. Kansas loses in the second
round to UCLA, the first of many
too-early exits.
1991 - Grant Hill leapt for alley
oops higher than KU fans wouldve
thought possible and dashed the
Jayhawks hopes in the national
title game. Hey, at least Roy defeat-
ed North Carolina in the semifi-
nals of the Final Four.
1992 - Really Jayhawks, UTEP?
The Miners were good in 1966,
back when they were still Texas
Western. Kansas lost this one in the
second round.
1993 - Dean Smith and his Tar
Heels defeated the Jayhawks in
the Final Four, avenging their loss
from two years earlier.
1994 - Kansas lost to favored
Purdue in the Sweet 16. Purdue
had one of the biggest NBA busts
of all time on their roster, Glenn
Big Dog Robinson.
1995 - Too easy. The Jayhawks
played at Kemper Arena in the
Sweet 16 and still lost to an average
Virginia team.
1996 - Jerod Haase missed
all nine of his three-pointers
against Syracuses zone, and the
Orangemen won in the Elite Eight.
1997 - Arguably the best team in
Kansas history lost in the Sweet 16
to Arizona.
1998 - Lets remember this,
Rhode Island didnt even have
Lamar Odom yet. He started play-
ing the next year. Still, the Rams
got enough production from Tyson
Wheeler and Cuttino Mobley
to upset the Paul Pierce, Raef
LaFrentz-led Jayhawks in the sec-
ond round.
1999 - Kentucky survives a sec-
ond round scare and knocks off
the Jayhawks in overtime. Ryan
Robertson scored 31 points in what
was his final KU game.
2000 - All the negative karma
that had been flowing against
Kansas in the second round almost
turned around. Almost. The
Jayhawks led No. 1 Duke at half-
time but couldnt hold on.
2001 - Roy finally made it to the
Sweet 16 for the first time since
1997. The Athletics Department
actually printed and sold T-shirts
for this minor occasion. The
Jayhawks lost to Bill Self s Illinois
team in the Sweet 16.
2002 - Finally another Final
Four. It had been nine years. Kansas
fell behind early to an experienced
Maryland in the semifinal and
couldnt recover. The Terps went
on to win the title.
2003 - Gerry McNamara making
167 three-pointers, Roy Williams
saying he didnt much care about
North Carolina and Kansas brick-
ing 4,000 free throws. Long story
short, the Jayhawks lost to Syracuse
in the national title game.
2004 - A solid first run for Bill
Self, albeit an easy one. After blow-
ing out Illinois-Chicago, Pacific
and Alabama-Birmingham, the
Jayhawks lost in the Elite Eight to
Georgia Tech.
2005 - Aaron Miles, Keith
Langord, Michael Lee and Wayne
Simien finished their career with
a shocking loss to Bucknell in the
first round. This could never hap-
pen again, right?
2006 - Actually, it could. Kansas
loses in the first round to Bradley.
2007 - Playing against the best
No. 2 seed in the field is never easy.
Playing against the best No. 2 seed
in its home state? Thats just a tad
harder as Kansas found out. UCLA
beat the Hawks in the Elite Eight.
San Antonio
San Antonio is considered a basketball town because of the San An-
tonio Spurs NBA dynasty, but the south Texas city is not necessarily a
college hoops hotbed. San Antonio hosted the Final Four only twice
before April: in 1998 and 2004.
1998 Kansas fans shouldnt be blamed for not remembering the
1998 Final Four. After the No. 1 seed Jayhawks sufered a second-
round upset loss to No. 8 seed Rhode Island, a bit of time away from
watching basketball might have been a good idea. If Kansas fans
turned of their televisions, they missed some exciting hoops at the
Alamodome. In the national semifnals, Utah sneaked past heavy
favorite North Carolina under the leadership of coach Rick Majerus.
On the other side of the bracket, Kentucky defeated Stanford in
overtime to earn a berth in the title game. The championship game
was also a thriller, as Kentucky raced back from a 10-point halftime
defcit to win, 78-69. Forward Scott Padgett led the Wildcats with 17
points and current Philadelphia 76ers guard Andre Miller paced the
Utes with 16.
NATIONAL CHAMPION: KENTUCKY
2004 Kansas almost made it to San Antonio in coach Bill Selfs
frst season, but Georgia Tech stopped the Jayhawks run in the Elite
Eight. No. 3 seed Georgia Tech carried the momentum from its vic-
tory against Kansas into the Final Four and defeated Oklahoma State
on a last-second layup by guard Will Bynum. The other national semi-
fnal was a clash of powerhouse programs, as Connecticut barely
made it past Duke, 79-78. The championship game was a blowout,
with Connecticut leading by as many as 25 points before winning,
82-73. Five of the 2004 Huskies are current contributors in the NBA,
including NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player Emeka Okafor
and guard Ben Gordon.

Go ahead, skip that 10 a.m.
English class and head to the
Final Four in San Antonio.
You know you want to. Itll be
easy, the Kansans got you cov-
ered. Heres how you can make
the best of a road trip to San
Antonio.
1. LAWRENCE
QuikTrip on 23rd Street
Fill up with gas then go
inside to a wonderland full of
frozen mochas, French vanilla
cappuccinos, day old hot dogs
and something called a Hotzi
that no human being has likely
ever eaten and woke up the
next morning. Everybody ready,
now? Jump onto I-70 West for
about 20 miles before switching
to I-470 West for just a few min-
utes. Then, get on I-335 South,
which turns into I-35 South.
Put down the map at this point.
Youll be on this highway almost
all the way to San Antonio.
2. WICHITA, Exit 50
The mini River Walk
Prepare yourself for San Antonio
by stopping downtown for the
JV version of the famous attrac-
tion. Its not completed yet, but
its worth a quick look. If youre
hungry for lunch, whatever you
do, dont stop at Spangles. Lord
knows we hear enough about
that place in Lawrence. Try Pizza
Hut. The restaurant originated
in Wichita, and the first Pizza
Hut building is on the Wichita
State campus. Better stop to get
some gas. Civilization practi-
cally ceases to exist between
here and Oklahoma City.
3. EDMOND, Okla., Exit
141
Bill Self s neighborhood
Hey, look up Self s parents in
the phone book and visit the
neighborhood to tell them and
all their neighbors congratula-
tions. The Edmond boy is tak-
ing your favorite team to the
Final Four. Give some props.
Just so you know, Jeremy Case
and Darnell Jackson are from
the Oklahoma City area, too, if
you want to make another stop.
4. HILLSBORO, Texas, Exit
368B
Outlet Stores Hey, who
needs all the fancy Nieman
Marcus stuff from the Metroplex.
Stretch out at some cheaper
stores here. This mall features
discount prices of J. Crew, Gap,
Ralph Lauren, Nike and more. If
you find a cheap pair of LeBrons,
let us know.
5. WACO, Texas, Exit 333A
The Health Camp Dont
let the name fool you. It aint
healthy. You ll probably be
starving at this point, and this
place wont disappoint. Just get
a milkshake at this rundown
joint and save the rest of your
appetite for the next stop.
6. AUSTIN, Texas, Exit
234B
Sixth Street One last stop.
Trust us, youll love it. Austin
is the best college town in the
Big 12 (well, its the truth), and
this street is one of the biggest
reasons why. Its lined with bars,
restaurants and actually, quite
a few tattoo parlors maybe
save the tattoo for the ride back
if Kansas wins it all. The street
gets so crowded on weekend
nights that they close it for cars.
Itll still be early so not too
many people will be out, but try
the Dizzy Rooster for a drink,
Gueros Taco Bar for a quick bite
of Mexican food and any of a
number of places to hear a song
or two from a live music act.
7. SAN ANTONIO, Texas
Alamodome OK, so heres
where you want to bring that
map out again. Youve been
on I-35 South or West/South
throughout all of Texas. As you
approach San Antonio, take
Exit 158B onto I-37 South. Now
youre in the city. To get to the
Alamodome, exit onto Durango
Boulevard then make a left onto
Adams Freeway. Turn right at
Montana Street, and youll see
the Alamodome.
Next step, check out Chase
Bufords tips to find out what to
do in San Antonio.

Kansas is heading to San
Antonio this weekend to play in
Final Four for the 13th time in
school history. Hanging out in San
Antonio and not sure what to do?
The Kansan has got you covered.
Freshman
w a l k - o n
Chase Buford
is proud
to call San
Antonio his
home. Buford
g r a du a t e d
from Alamo
Heights High
school, and nobody on Kansas
knows the Alamo City better than
Buford.
Good EatS
The Original Blanco Caf, 419
N Saint Marys St.
San Antonio is home to hun-
dreds of quaint Mexican restau-
rants, and Bufords favorite is
Blanco Caf.
Buford said: You got to go to at
least one hole-in-the-wall Mexican
restaurant and get some tacos. Im
a big fan of Blanco Caf. Its kind of
like a chain mom-and-pop place;
its pretty solid. Youre going to
want to go with the No. 1 plate,
though. Its two tacos and an enchi-
lada plate for, like, six bucks.
Rio Rio Cantina, 421 E.
Commerce St. Suite 40, on the
San Antonio River Walk
Want something a little more
upscale? Buford suggests you try
the Rio Rio Cantina on the famous
San Antonio River Walk. Its open
until 11 p.m., so you can slip in for
a late dinner after the games.
Paesanos Riverwalk, 111 W.
Crockett St.
Tired of Mexican? Buford said
you couldnt go wrong with grub-
bing anywhere on the River Walk.
In fact, Buford said youd probably
like Paesanos. Its Mediterranean
and contemporary Italian dining.
Try an oven-baked pizza or the
legendary Shrimp Paesano. Order a
cup of vino from Paesanos lengthy
list of wines.
Buford said: Paesanos is pretty
solid. Its different Paisanos [in
Lawrence], but its pretty good.
EnjoyinG tHE
outdoorS
After this nasty Kansas winter,
take advantage of the soothing
warmth of San Antonio.
Buford said San Antonio has
a lot of great options for outdoor
fun.
Natural Bridge Caverns,
Natural Bridge Caverns Road/
F.M.3009
Tired of being cooped up inside
of a basketball arena? Check out
this underground wonder 30
minutes north of downtown San
Antonio. Times vary and tours
cost $10 for the Discovery Tour
and $100 for the Hidden Passages
Adventure Tour.
Buford said: Its one of the
worlds largest underground caves.
EmbracinG HiStory:
tHE aLamo
Face it. The Alamo is San
Antonio. Dont feel obligated to
go, but going to San Antonio and
skipping the Alamo is like going to
St. Louis and not going to the Arch
or going to Paris and skipping the
Eiffel Tower. Heres a quick his-
tory lesson. Originally built as a
mission, the Alamo was used as
a military fort in the 19th cen-
tury. During the Texas Revolution,
the Alamo was the scene of a
battle that saw more than 150
Texans killed by an army of 6,000
Mexicans led by General Santa
Ana. After the battle, the rally-
ing cry, Remember the Alamo
was used as motivation in subse-
quent battles, and of course Davy
Crockett was one of those killed at
the Alamo. So disregard all those
horrible theatrical depictions of
the Alamo, and see it for yourself.
Buford said: Ive been to the
Alamo like 19 times for fieldtrips,
but I think its something you got
to see once. Its pretty cool. I think
itd be cool if you understand it
and appreciate it.
a LittLE niGHtLifE
After the Alamo, San Antonio
is all about the River Walk. Lined
with restaurants, shops, and beau-
tiful scenery, the River Walk is a
major reason San Antonio attracts
millions of tourists every year.
Take a stroll down the River Walk,
forget about your troubles and
pretend youre in another country.
If Kansas finds a way to be the
last team standing Monday night,
head straight for the River Walk.
Thats where the action will be.
Buford said: Ive only been there
a couple times. A lot of local people
dont go down there, but its still a lot
of fun. Theres a lot of good night life
down there. Its kind of, find your
own taste, but if you look around,
you cant go wrong.
takinG in a GamE
Unfortunately, the NBAs San
Antonio Spurs are out of town. So
the only basketball games your see-
ing are of the college variety. That
should be OK though, because
this Final Four might shape up
be the best in recent memory.
Four star-studded No. 1 seeds will
converge on the Alamodome in
San Antonio. The building can
hold 65,000, but the NCAA will
cut the arena near in half for the
Final Four leaving the expected
attendance at around 40,000.
The most bizarre thing about
the Alamodome? It housed the San
Antonio Texans of the Canadian
Football League in 1995. Huh?
Buford spent a lot of time
around the Alamodome as a
kid. His dad, R.C., is the gen-
eral manager of the San Antonio
Spurs, and the Spurs played in the
Alamodome until 2002.

ball team got off to a slow start in
the first game of a six-game road
trip, but bounced back quickly
with a victory in the late game
against Creighton on Wednesday.
In the first game of the dou-
bleheader, the Jayhawks lacked
any offensive output and lost 8-
0. Creightons sophomore pitcher
Tara Oltman held the Jayhawks to
three hits and Kansas committed
three errors.
Junior shortstop Stevie Crisosto
said the Kansas defense could have
done a better job helping the pitch-
ing staff.
Defensively, we probably could
have picked our pitchers up a little
bit better as well, Crisosto said.
Coach Tracy Bunge was
impressed with Creighton and pre-
dicted they would most likely win
the Missouri Valley Conference.
Bunge credited Creighton for
capitalizing on the Jayhawks mis-
takes.
When we gave them anything,
they made us pay for it, Bunge
said.
The team came back and won
the second game, 6-3. Crisosto and
sophomore first baseman Amanda
Jobe both had three RBI and a
homerun. Freshmen right fielder
Liz Kocon and catcher Brittany
Hile and senior designated hitter
Addy Lucero also added hits.
Bunge said she stressed the
team to have a short memory and
move on for the victory in the
second game.
What I challenged our team to
do in between games was to change
the momentum and to change the
momentum fast, Bunge said.
The Jayhawks improved to a
28-9 record with the split against
Creighton. The team now goes
back to Big 12 play and continues
their road trip against Baylor this
weekend.
Bunge said that Baylor strug-
gled recently, but they would pres-
ent a challenge for the Jayhawks.
Baylors a team that has speed
unlike what weve seen all year
long, Bunge said. She said to pre-
pare for Baylor the team would
need to focus on defense.
The Big 12 road schedule is
tough, but the team looks forward
to it, Bunge said.
Once we get into conference,
the crowds get a little bit bigger,
the venues get a little bit bigger
and we get to hear some good-
natured heckling, Bunge said.

The calendar may have just
turned to April, but the fate of
Kansas season may rest in Waco
this weekend.
Tonight at 6:30 the Jayhawks
begin their series with the Bears at
Baylor Ballpark. A series victory for
Kansas (19-13, 1-5) could catapult
the Jayhawks from last place in the
Big 12. But a series defeat to Baylor
(16-11, 3-6) would mark Kansas
third straight to begin conference
play and might solidify its spot at
the bottom of the league.
Weve got to find a way to win
a series, Kansas coach Ritch Price
said. Not go in, play close and
keep it competitive weve got to
find a way to get it done. If we have
a lead, finish a game.
The key for Kansas, as usual, will
be what kind of performances it
gets from its starting pitching.
Last weekend, Kansas starters
combined for 7.2 innings 5.1 of
which coming from junior left-
hander Nick Czyz stretching
the Jayhawk bullpen to its lim-
its. Sophomore left-hander Wally
Marciel had the roughest outing
of the bunch, lasing just 1/3 of an
inning Friday, allowing eight runs
and prompting Price to shuffle his
weekend rotation.
Czyz (1-3) has moved up a day
and will pitch tonight, senior right-
hander Andres Esquibel (2-1) has
reentered the rotation to pitch
Saturday at 6:30 p.m., and junior
left-hander Sam Freeman (4-0)
will pitch the series finale Sunday
at 1 p.m.
While Czyz and Freeman have
bloated 7.24 and 6.75 respective
ERAs, Esquibel enters the weekend
leading Kansas with a 2.68 ERA.
Price has predominantly used
Esquibel as his go-to arm in the
bullpen, but after what happened
last weekend, Price decided to
sandwich his most reliable pitcher
between Czyz and Freeman.
Hes our best guy and the one
thing it does, it depletes our bull-
pen, Price said of Esquibel. But
I think at this point in time weve
got to get three quality starts in
order to have an opportunity to
win a series and we had to make
a change.
As for Baylors rotation, the
Bears are standing pat.
Sophomore right-hander Kendal
Volz (3-2) will start tonight, fresh-
man right-hander Shawn Tolleson
(2-1) will start Saturday and soph-
omore right-hander Willie Kempf
(4-1) will start Sunday. The trio
own 5.40, 3.58 and 3.41 respective
ERAs, but as a team, Baylors 4.72
ERA is just lower than Kansas 4.96
team ERA.
When Baylor coach Steve Smith
turns to his bullpen, three arms in
particular are his most depend-
able.
Senior right-hander Tim
Matthews (1-0) leads the team with
a 1.93 ERA, freshman right-hander
Craig Fritsch (1-2) is next with
a 2.49 ERA, and despite a 6.06
ERA, senior right-hander Nick
Cassavechia (0-2) leads the team
with five saves.
With so many arms at Smiths
disposal, Price knows his offense
will be put to the test especially
since Kansas saw mostly changeups
from Wichita State Tuesday and
lesser velocity pitchers from Saint
Mary Wednesday.
Baylor pitches with plus veloc-
ity, Price said. They have some of
the best arms in the country. They
pitched the ball good against us
last year. Its the strength of their
team.
Baylor and Kansas currently
reside eighth and tenth in the Big 12
standings, which is a bit surprising
considering how each team entered
the season. Baylor was ranked No.
15 in Baseball Americas preseason
poll and even higher in other polls
while Kansas returned a strong
group of upperclassmen, including
four experienced seniors.
But in the first few weekends
of Big 12 action, both clubs sea-
sons have turned sour. Since beat-
ing Oklahoma State, 2-1, to open
its conference season, Baylor has
dropped its last two Big 12 series
while Kansas is still searching for
its first conference series victory.
Were going to go play one of
the best teams in the country, Price
said. They opened the season in
the Top 10 and theyre struggling
right now. I think its really a testi-
mony to how good the league is. It
may be the best league in America,
top to bottom. Its certainly the best
its been the six years Ive been in
the league.
And Prices players are well
aware of how much this weekend
means to their season.
Weve got to win the series,
senior infielder Matt Berner said.
Weve got to win a series on the
road, get us going in the right
direction. Its pretty much that sim-
ple.
It was 1 a.m., Monday when Bill
Self stood next to his team in Allen
Fieldhouse in front of an estimated
6,000 fans. Kansas returned from
Detroit advancing to its first Final
Four since Roy Williams left for
North Carolina in 2003.
Are these guys studs, or what?
Self asked the crowd about his Final
Four team.
Judging by the crowds roaring
reaction, they agreed.
But for just about everyone else
in the country, Kansas looked like
a team that played tight and could
barely get past a No. 10 seed.
Self, dealing with the typical
media questions that come after a
close victory against an inferior
opponent such as Davidson, tried
to diffuse the notion that his team
simply had a bad game.
I dont want to say we played
poorly, because that takes away
from Davidson, Self said in the
press conference after the game.
They muddied up the game for us
very, very well.
Self was right. Davidson was
a good team who gave Kansas its
best. Davidson defeated the Big
10 Champion and No. 3 seed
Wisconsin by 16 points and defeat-
ed the regular season Big East
Champion No. 2 seed Georgetown
in the tournament, but couldnt get
past the Jayhawks.
In the regular season, Davidson
was ranked No. 23 in the AP Poll
coming into the tournament.
Davidson even played Kansas next
opponent, North Carolina, and lost
by just four points.
Though Kansas probably
faced the toughest competition in
Davidson out of all the Final Four
teams this past weekend, Kansas is
a three-point underdog going into
Saturdays game and viewed as the
weakest of the number one seeds.
Both Self and his players are
aware of this percep-
tion, but have not
taken it to heart.
I guess we could
be the underdogs
since were the fourth
number one seed,
Self said Monday
in the NCAA Final
Four teleconference.
But I really think in this situation
I dont think there is much of a dif-
ference between any of the teams
from a performance standpoint.
Kansas lack of All-Americans as
opposed to North Carolina, UCLA
and Memphis give many another
reason to believe Kansas is the
weakest one seed.
For senior guard Russell
Robinson, the lack of All-Americans
is no reason for Kansas to be con-
sidered the underdogs.
I dont feel like we are the
underdogs, said Robinson in a
press conference on Monday. Part
of our success has come from us
being unselfish and everybody
sharing the spotlight and contrib-
uting. Different guys step up on
different nights and that is how we
got where we are.
Until the actual game is played
Saturday, there will be doubts of
Kansas chances against North
Carolina.
The Jayhawks need to focus on
only one thing: the game. If Kansas
gives into the belief that they are
not as good as North Carolina,
there will be trouble.
Self knows this.
In general terms, youve just got
to believe that
youre going do
it, he said in a
Kansas athlet-
ics press release
on Wednesday
after landing in
San Antonio.
So many times
when youre
hoping to win, you play not to lose
and we cant be that way.
If there is one guy who will know
a little something about believing
Kansas success this weekend, it
would be Danny Manning.
Its been 20 years since Danny
and the Miracles made their run
for the National Championship.
If this years Jayhawks can believe
they can win, it would be fitting to
dub them as Bill Almighty and the
Champs.
by bryAn Wheeler
Jayhawks remain focused
commentary
best players of the Final Four
Best scorer
tyler Hansbrough, north
carolina forward
Hansbroughs game isnt
pretty, but he is extremely
efective. He can bruise smaller
defenders in the post or step
back near the three-point line
against bigger defenders to
get his points. Hansbrough is
also great at fnding his way to
the free-throw line, where he
converts at an 81 percent clip.
Best reBounder
Kevin Love, ucLa forward
At 6-foot-10 and 250 pounds,
Love doesnt look like an elite
leaper. But the UCLA post uses
great fundamentals to seal of
opponents and his thick frame
to create space to work on the
glass. Love averaged nearly 11
rebounds per game this sea-
son, second-best in the PAC-10
Conference.
Best outside
sHooter
mario chalmers, Kansas
guard
UCLA point guard Darren
Collison may shoot a better
percentage from beyond the
arc, but Chalmers gets extra
credit for making 20 more
three-pointers than Collison
did. Chalmers ability to torch
defenses from long range
is Kansas most dangerous
weapon, especially when the
Jayhawks are in their transition
ofense.
Best passer
ty Lawson, north carolina
guard
Most of the attention Lawson
has earned has been thanks
to his lightning-quick feet and
ability to hustle the Tar Heel
ofense down court. But the
diminutive guard is an under-
rated passer in the half-court
ofense. After all, someone has
to feed the multitude of North
Carolina ofensive options.

Best defender
russell robinson, Kansas
guard
Robinson doesnt even lead
his own team in steals, but
his intense on-ball pressure
frequently forces opposing
guards to take bad shots or
throw errant passes. Robinson
is usually matched up with the
opponents best guard, and he
usually puts the clamps on. In
the Jayhawks Sweet Sixteen
victory against Villanova,
Robinson limited Scottie Reyn-
olds to 11 points on 4-for-13
shooting.
Best uniforms
Kansas
Memphis loses points for its
generic look. North Carolinas
color scheme is excellent but
loses some of its luster away
from the Tar Heels home court.
UCLA sports some classic duds,
but changing the color of the
C in UCLA to celebrate 100
NCAA Championships seems
a little silly. Sure, some people
hate the new font and style,
but theres no denying that the
uniforms look outstanding.
Home whites, road blues, even
the alternate reds Kansas
basketball put a fashionable
foot forward with its new look.
Best mascot
ucLa
What animal is better than a
bear? Trick question: Bears are
the best animals. UCLAs own
bear, Joe Bruin, isnt all that
ferocious, but he can crank
dat Soulja Boy with the best
of them, as seen on YouTube.
Bonus points to UCLA for its
cheer and dance squads.

Best Legacy
Kansas
UCLA has won 11 NCAA
Tournament titles, including
10 in a torrid 12 year stretch.
Memphis has made deep runs
into the tournament under
current coach John Calipari.
North Carolina has qualifed
for the tournament 39 times
and taken the title four times.
The Jayhawks only earned
the NCAA Tournament crown
twice, but Kansas claims Dr.
James Naismith as a piece
of its history, and having the
father of basketball as a former
coach trumps any other ac-
complishment.

Tyler
Hansbrough is
going to score,
but Kansas can
handle that.
The Jayhawks
have beat D.J.
Augustin and
Michael Beasley before. The key
for the Tar Heels will be getting
solid production from someone
else. Ellington could be the guy.
He can go for major scoring bursts
a la Brandon Rush but hasnt been
able to develop enough consis-
tency to be a star this season.
Ellington will be ready to go for
this game and will provide some
serious problems for Kansas.
Ty Lawson, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard
Injuries have slowed down Lawson for much
of the season but when hes in, few guards can do
as much as him. While he was out, North Carolina
slightly struggled. Now that hes back, the Tar Heels
are playing their best basketball.
Wayne Ellington, 6-foot-4 sophomore guard
If Ellington is on from outside, Kansas could be
in trouble. Hansbrough will defnitely light it up
inside, but the Jayhawks can at least prevent El-
lington from playing well. If they dont, Carolina will
have a much easier time.
Marcus Ginyard, 6-foot-5 junior forward
Ginyard is a streaky shooter. He
rarely blows up but at times he can
contribute from the outside. Carolina
needs him more to be a lockdown
defender. Expect him to guard Rush
for most of the game.
Deon Thompson, 6-foot-8
sophomore forward
Thompson is a solid second man
to Hansbrough. He scores about
eight points, grabs about four re-
bounds and plays good defense. Hes athletic and long
and should match up well against Arthur.
Tyler Hansbrough, 6-foot-9
junior forward
Its safe to say that Hansbrough is
at least the second best player in the
country. He scores at will and rebounds about as good
as any big man. Everyone raves about how hard he
works, but hes also a tremendous athlete.
Danny Green, 6-foot-6 junior
If Hansbrough is the best player, Green
is the best dancer. Hes best known for
giving his team energy during warmups
with his dance moves and then during the
game as a reliable slasher and shooter.
This is the guy who is
going to have to guard Tyler
Hansbrough. Jackson is too
small and Arthur doesnt have
the drive or
the discipline.
Kaun will
be the best
defender
against Hans-
brough. Hes
tall, strong
and physical.
The only
problem is that Kaun is also
one of the most inconsistent
players in KU history. Sure, he
had a great game last time, but
can he do it again? This could
be the last game of his career
so he better be as fred up as
he was against Davidson. If he
holds Hansbrough to his aver-
age, call it a success.

KANSAS GETS ITS SHOT AT UNC ON SATURDAY
Kansas vs. NorTh CAroLiNA 7:47 p.m., Alamodome, san Antonio, CBs
Kansas
(35-3, 13-3)
north Carolina
(38-2, 14-2)
ThE sixTh mAN
The Alamodome will rock for KU if
The Jayhawks decide not to run with the Tar Heels. Carolina runs
better than any team in the country, and Self said Kansas is going
to play its usual uptempo style and try to match them. Not a good
idea. Kansas can play both ways and has a superior defense. The
Jayhawks should try and slow the game down because they prob-
ably wont win a running match.
phog Allen will roll over in over in his Grave if
Kansas loses by double digits. This would be a disaster. The
season would end on a bad note, and to make matters worse, Roy
Williams will have defeated his old school. The KU fans who havent
forgiven Williams will be inconsolable. Theyll have new hatred for
him and could turn on Bill Self. Heres the worst case scenario: North
Carolina rolls and because of all the angst from fans, Self decides to
split for Oklahoma State.
85-83 Kansas
Kansas slows down the Tar Heels, barely. The Jayhawks win, and
fans can fnally get over the loss of Roy Williams from fve years ago.
Player Mins FG-FGA 3FG-3FGA rebs Points

Player Mins FG-FGA 3FG-3FGA rebs Points
russell robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard
Robinson has been going up against some of his
toughest defensive jobs in the NCAA Tournament
from Wink Adams to Scottie Reynolds to Stephen
Curry. Now, hes got Tywon Lawson. Hes really good.
Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard
A little bit more consistency this time, please.
Chalmers matched Curry basket for basket in the
frst half of Sundays game before disappearing in
the second half. If Kansas wants to win this high-
scoring ball game, Chalmers has to be at his best for
all 40 minutes.
Brandon rush, 6-foot-6 junior
guard
Rush meet your twin, Wayne
Ellington. The two players are
remarkably similar good athletes
with great outside shots. Rush has
the edge on defense, though. When
Rush scores easily, Kansas is a better
team.
Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior
forward
Its been a long time since Jackson
has taken over a game like he did a
few times in the middle of the sea-
son. Foul trouble and possibly plain
old fatigue have caused his minutes
to go down recently.
Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sopho-
more forward
Arthur has yet to be a factor this
entire tournament, and Kansas
hasnt even played a team with a
decent frontline. On Saturday, hell
face a terrifc frontcourt and the best
big man in the country not named
Michael Beasley. If hes ever going to
step up for the Jayhawks, it has to be
on Saturday night.
Sasha Kaun, 6-foot-11 senior center
Hes been the frst man of the bench lately
for Kansas and was the most important player
on Sunday. If Kaun didnt have a great game (13
points and six rebounds), the Jayhawks would be
watching Davidson play North Carolina. Its that
simple. Im not a rookie. Even
though I havent coached in
the fnal four yet, there are
other big games throughout a
season, but none of the mag-
nitude of this. I dont feel like
a rookie. Ive been doing this a
little while. Certainly, I do think
every time you experience
something, you potentially
beneft from it. I would hope
that if I have the opportunity to
coach in the Final Four again, I
hope Im better than I am the
frst time because you always
learn something.
Bill Self
Kansas fans better hope
that Kansas isnt as nervous
as it was last week against
Davidson. The Jayhawks,
except Kaun, played tight the
entire game and nearly lost
to an inferior team. That cant
happen against the Tar Heels.
Theyre too good and too fast.
They could run Kansas out of
the gym if the players get of
to another poor start. But fans
need not worry too much. The
Jayhawks should be relaxed
after fnally making the Final
Four and ready to play. Theyll
be ready early.
Roy Williams has been dreading
this day for fve years. If he had
it his way, North Carolina would
never have to play Kansas. He still
cares a lot about the Jayhawks
and has to feel bad about the
way KU fans have treated him
since he left. People wondered if
Williams was focused for the Final
Four in 2003 when North Carolina
courted him to be its coach. Will
he be focused enough this time or
will playing Kansas cause distrac-
tions? Williams has said multiple
times this week that the game is
about the players. It really isnt.
This is still KU vs. Roy.
Well, no disrespect to Kansas
State, but it is diferent. Against
Beasley, we did a great job with
him and held him to 39 points, so
there is a diference. Getting the
foor spread allows Hansbrough
to get more easy touches than
Michael gets. So there are some
diferences there.
Kansas coach Bill Self on the dif-
ference between Hansbrough and
Michael Beasley.
Teahan Three Point-o-Meter
Will freshman walk-on Connor Teahan get the op-
portunity to play tonight? This meter tells all.
is Kansas a team of des-
tiny?
Thats the overriding ques-
tion. Kansas fans endured 20
years of March heartbreak since
the Jayhawks last title in 1988.
Two more victories could erase
all of those painful memories.
It starts with North Carolina
and Roy Williams tomorrow.
Williams contributed to 15
of those non-championship
seasons while at Kansas. Now
he stands as an obstacle. Can it
just be coincidence? The script
is in place for a special weekend
for Kansas. But the question
remains, as it does every March:
Is this really the year?
Can Carolina play defense?
Earlier this season, Roy Williams
scolded his players for being
lax on the defensive end. They
could score all they wanted, but
their defense was sub par. The
Tar Heels played close games
against Clemson and Georgia Tech
teams they should have beat
easily because of their poor de-
fense. Toward the end of the year,
they started to tighten up. North
Carolina defended well against
top ACC teams such as Duke. In
the tournament, Carolina has
won easily because of its ofense.
Defense hasnt really mattered.
It will matter against Kansas. The
Jayhawks play tight defense, and
the Tar Heels will have to at least
make some stops if Kansas makes
it a slow-paced game with a small
number of possessions.
