chancellor has no huge disappointments or regrets
BY B.J. RAINS AND
HALEY JONES
rains@kansan.com and
hjones@kansan.com
Chancellor Robert Hemenway spent
part of Monday morning talking about
what he had accomplished during his
14-year tenure as chancellor. Fittingly, he
was interrupted by the sound of the steam
whistle.
For those of you who arent familiar,
Hemenway said, thats the whistle.
Hemenway brought the whistle back
earlier this semester afer receiving com-
plaints from students and alumni. Te
whistle hadnt been on since the begin-
ning of the semester in an attempt to cut
costs.
Hemenway, who has been the chancel-
lor at the University since 1995, will step
down on June 30, said he would take time
of to write a book on intercollegiate ath-
letics and American values. He will return
to teach American literature courses in
fall 2010. Hemenway has taught an under-
graduate American literature course each
year since becoming chancellor.
Im not leaving this ofce with huge
regrets or disappointments, Hemenway
said. Ive had a heck of a good time being
chancellor, and weve done some fantastic
things.
Te demanding schedule of a univer-
sitys chancellor fnally caught up with
Hemenway. Afer taking a year of to
write a book, he will focus on teaching
full-time.
It really is a 24/7 job, Hemenway said.
And I just came to the conclusion that it
was time for me to step away from that
kind of a job and do what I can to prepare
the way for the next chancellor.
Adam McGonigle, Wichita junior and
student body president, said Hemenways
resignation and state-wide budget cuts
would bring the University and Student
Senate into a time of transition. He said
he was excited to see Hemenway explore
his opportunities.
Chancellor Hemenway is a vision-
ary man who has been a champion for
students, McGonigle said. He will be
missed on this campus and by this stu-
dent body. ryan mcgeeney/KAnSAn

Te Lawrence Police Department report-
ed on Monday that the unknown assailant
in a Dec. 1 sexual assault of a 19-year-old
Lawrence woman may also be a suspect in
four other sexual assault cases.
Te Dec. 1 incident occurred in a south-
west Lawrence apartment near 27th Street
and Wakarusa Drive. More than a dozen
police ofcers combed the area in search of
physical evidence the following day, look-
ing for clues that may aide in the suspects
arrest.
Te other four cases span a four-year
period, beginning July 14, 2004, when a
suspect sexually assaulted a female in the
southwest area of Lawrence. On Dec. 29,
2004, two females were sexually assaulted in
their northwest Lawrence residence by an
unknown male. On June 13, 2006, a female
was sexually assaulted by an unknown
male in her central Lawrence residence,
and last March 22, a ffh female was sexu-
ally assaulted in southwest Lawrence by an
unknown male.
Police have compiled a general suspect
description from all fve cases: Te suspect
is a white male between 25 and 40 years
old, ranging in height from 5 feet 9 inches
to 6 feet tall, with a slim build.
Police said the suspect had been armed
with a weapon in each attack, but authori-
ties have not described the weapon.
Major Chris Keary with the KU Public
Safety Ofce said that all citizens were
advised to make a habit of locking the
doors to their homes and cars and to always
be aware of their surroundings.
Te Lawrence Police Department is urg-
ing anyone with information that may aid
in this investigation to call the Lawrence
Police Investigations Division at 830-7430
or the Douglas County Crime Stoppers
TIPS Hotline at 843-TIPS.

Sara Tompson was alone in her
Lawrence apartment, clutching the
phone to her ear with a trembling hand.
She was about to reveal her most per-
sonal secret to her parents, but she was
afraid to tell them face-to-face that she
is a lesbian.
It had been a year and half since
Tompson acknowledged to herself
her sexual orientation. While she cant
remember the words she blurted out to
her mother and father, she cant forget
the awkward silence at the other end
of the line.
Finally, her mother spoke, asking her
it was just a phase.
She then outlined the explanation
she had carefully rehearsed.
When she was fnished, her mother
said, Were not happy. We dont want
you to be a gay, but youre our daughter,
and we still love you.
Although at that moment, Tompson
felt relieved at their reaction, in reality it
made her parents so unhappy that they
severed their relationship and ended
their fnancial and emotional support
in a phone call the next day.
Tompson is among gay and lesbian
KU students who decide to come out in
college, yet struggle to reveal their sex-
uality to their own parents. For some
such as Tompson, coming out to fam-
ilies meant being rejected by parents.
Ashlynn Horras outed herself by hug-
ging and holding a girls hand in public.
Crystal Hong hasnt yet come out to her
conservative father, even though she
got married in an unofcial ceremony.
Julian Rivera unwillingly came out of
the closet in his parents kitchen thanks
to an essay his sister accidentally lef
there for her mother to fnd.
Many gay and lesbian children dont
reveal their sexuality to anyone, includ-
ing parents, until they reach college age
because of the discrimination they face
from peers in middle and high schools.
According to the National School
Climate Survey, conducted by the
Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education
Network in 2007, nine out of 10 gay
teenagers experienced verbal harass-
ment and almost half of them were
physically harassed in their schools.
Many of them come out in college
where they experience support from a
gay community and little discrimina-
tion from fellow KU students. However,
when they decide to come out to fami-
lies, they can expect a variety of reac-
tions from parents religious objec-
tions that being gay is sinful, beliefs
that their homosexuality is a medical
or psychological condition that can be
cured, disappointment that their child
has chosen a path that doesnt lead to
a traditional family and grandchildren,
or concerns that their child will be dis-
criminated against because of his or

crystal Hong, rose Hill senior, and her partner, Jocelyn bencken, were married in Florida in March over Spring Break. Crystal came out as a lesbian to her mother during her senior year of high school but has not yet
come out to her father. While some lesbian and gay students fnally feel free to come out to their parents once in college, others hesitate for fear of rejection or loss of fnancial support, or both.

Two performance artists sat in
front of a microwave outside the
Spencer Museum of Art fighting
over popcorn Thursday. A record-
ing naming the symptoms of addic-
tion played in the background.
The artists, Anson Stancliffe and
Lauren Howard, were promoting
Fluid Art 2008, a gallery of work
from the Performance Art class.
The exhibit is open in the Art
and Design building gallery for the
final day today.
Performance art brings together
a variety of media such as music,
dance and video. Stancliffe,
Lawrence senior, said performance
art was unique because one piece
could never be repeated or sold.
Its more about memory,
Stancliffe said, creating a moment
for people that can never be redone
perfectly.
Fluid Art 2008 features 10 vid-
eos of the students strongest pieces
from the semester and 10 music
video projects. The videos play on
a loop.
Amber Hansen, Alton, Iowa,
graduate student and assistant for
the class, said the students per-
formances were more humorous
this year because the performers
approached their subjects in a more
lighthearted manner.
One assignment for the class was
to create a piece inspired by addic-
tion. Stancliffe said the goal for his
piece was to show the absurdity of
addictions through an obsessive
desire for popcorn.
Although Stancliffe and Howard
performed the popcorn piece when
the gallery opened, he chose to dis-
play his piece from the re-creation
assignment. Stancliffes piece fea-
tures a burial procession celebrat-
ing death.
Natale Collar, Kansas City, Kan.,
senior, submitted her project from
the re-creation assignment for the
gallery as well.
Collars piece features five pho-
tographs of her as different charac-
ters in a moment when their social
identities change.
One of Collars photos focuses
on a homicide and the idea that
murderers will be remembered
only as murderers, despite other
aspects of their lives.
The music video project was new
to Fluid Art this year. So Yeon Park,
an assistant professor of art who
taught the class, said she wanted to
give the students an opportunity to
learn the technical side of perfor-
mance art through a medium the
students were interested in.
Students chose a song for the
assignment and then worked to
make it their own with their voic-
es and choreography. Park said
the other goal of the music video
project was to help improve stu-
dents self-confidence and self-
awareness.
Stancliffe wrote his own song for
the project and said he was inspired
by folk songs about men obsessed
with women, such as a song called
Ohio River about a man who
killed his girlfriend because she
wouldnt marry him. His song tells
the story of a man who murders his
daughter after people come to take
her away.
Park said performance art gave
artists more freedom because they
didnt have to use traditional mate-
rials to convey their message.
With dance, the message comes
through movement and with music
it comes through sound. Park said
performance art appealed to all
five senses.
Fluid Art 2008 is open in the Art
and Design building today from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

ASSocIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Some
same-sex marriage supporters
are urging people to call in gay
Wednesday to show how much the
country relies on gays and lesbians,
but others question whether its
wise to encourage skipping work
given the nations economic dis-
tress.
Organizers of Day Without a
Gay scheduled to coincide with
International Human Rights Day
and modeled after similar work
stoppages by Latino immigrants
also are encouraging people to per-
form volunteer work and refrain
from spending money.
Sean Hetherington, a West
Hollywood comedian and personal
trainer, dreamed up the idea with
his boyfriend, Aaron Hartzler, after
reading online that a few angry
gay-rights activists were calling
for a day-long strike to protest
California voters passage last
month of Proposition 8, which
reversed this years state Supreme
Court decision allowing gay mar-
riage.
The couple thought it would
be more effective and less divi-
sive if people were asked to per-
form community service instead
of staying home with their wallets
shut. Dozens of nonprofit agen-
cies, from the National Womens
Law Center in Washington to a
Methodist church in Fresno col-
lecting food for the homeless, have
posted opportunities for volunteers
on the couples Web site.
We are all for a boycott if that
is what brings about a sense of
community for people, said
Hetherington, 30, who plans to
spend Wednesday volunteering at
an inner-city school. You can take
away from the economy and give
back in other ways.
Hetherington said hes been get-
ting 100 e-mails an hour from peo-
ple looking for volunteer opportu-
nities, and that his Day Without a
Gay Web site has gotten 100,000
hits since mid-November.
Some organizers of the street
demonstrations that drew massive
crowds in many cities last month
have been reluctant to embrace the
concept, saying that it could be at
best impractical and at worst coun-
terproductive to call in gay.
Its extra-challenging for people
to think about taking off work as a
form of protest, given that we are
talking about people who may not
be out (as gay) at work, and given
the current economic situation and
job market, said Jules Graves, 38,
coordinator of the Colorado Queer
Straight Alliance. There is really
not any assurance employers would
appreciate it for what it is.
Join The Impact, the online
community that launched protests
last month over the passage of
gay marriage bans in California,
Florida and Arizona, has urged
people to withdraw $80 from their
bank accounts Wednesday to dem-
onstrate gays spending power, and
to devote the time they might oth-
erwise spend watching TV or surf-
ing the Internet to volunteer work.
W i t e c k - C o m b s
Communications, a public rela-
tions firm in Washington that
specializes in the gay and lesbian
market, published a study this year
that estimated that gay and les-
bian consumers spend $700 billion
annually.
Bob Witeck, the firms chief
executive officer, said it would be
difficult to measure the success
of Wednesdays strike since gay
employees occupy so many fields.
And rather than suspending all
consumer spending for the day,
gay rights supporters would have a
bigger impact if they devoted their
dollars to gay-friendly businesses
year-round, Witeck said.
Our community leaders who
are running book stores, newspa-
pers, flower shops, coffee houses,
bars and many, many other things
are hurting right now, so paying
attention to their needs during this
hard time is an effective form of
activism, he said.
Hetherington said he has been
careful to design A Day Without a
Gay so no one feels excluded.
He has specifically urged high
school students not to walk out of
their classes and assured college
students they wont be disloyal to
the cause if they take their final
exams. He also has listed opportu-
nities ranging from writing let-
ters to members of Congress about
gay rights legislation to spreading
the word on social networking sites
to gay marriage backers who
cannot miss work.

After armed robbery,
o.J. begins prison term
LAS VEGAS O.J.
Simpson was transferred Mon-
day from jail to a Nevada state
prison to begin serving nine to
33 years for his felony convic-
tions in a gunpoint confronta-
tion with two sports memora-
bilia dealers, a state corrections
ofcial said.
Simpson, 61, arrived at
High Desert State Prison in
Indian Springs,
Department
of Corrections
spokeswoman
Suzanne
Pardee said.
"It went
as expected,"
said Simpsons
lawyer Yale
Galanter, who said he knew
Simpson had been due to be
moved sometime this week
from the Clark County jail.
"We're actually expecting that
he'll be assigned to one of the
southern Nevada prisons."
Simpson trial co-defendant
Clarence "C.J." Stewart re-
mained Monday at the Clark
County Detention Center, jail
records showed.
Stewart, 54, received 7 to
27 years when he and Simpson
were sentenced Friday.
A Clark County District Court
jury found the two men guilty
Oct. 3 of 12 charges, including
kidnapping, armed robbery,
assault with a deadly weapon,
burglary and conspiracy in the
Sept. 13, 2007, confrontation.
The judge dismissed two felony
coercion charges at sentencing.
Simpson, Stewart and four
former co-defendants were ac-
cused of robbing two memo-
rabilia dealers at gunpoint in
a cramped room at the Palace
Station casino hotel. Simpson
insisted he only wanted to
retrieve items that he said had
been stolen from him in the
years after he was acquitted
of murder in the 1994 slayings
of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown
Simpson, and Ronald Gold-
man.

her sexual orientation, according to Wes
Crenshaw, licensed psychologist and direc-
tor of the Family Terapy Institute Midwest
in Lawrence.
Crenshaw said discussions about sexu-
ality would be diferent
for each person because
each family had a difer-
ent experience and level
of exposure to gays and
lesbians. He said visit-
ing a therapist before
talking to parents could
be helpful for students
regarding how the news
is received. He also said
when students decided
to come out, they had
to prepare for several
outcomes from really
good to really bad and to decide how
they would react in each case.
I think the watchword is to be strategic,
to do more of what works and less of what
doesnt, he said. For some, holding out
on the disclosure may be necessary to pre-
serve fnancial support. For others, wait-
ing just staves of an inevitable confict and
makes it worse.
Keith Floyd, licensed psychologist at
Watkins Memorial Health Center, said
whether people chose to come out or not,
it was important for them to be comfort-
able about their decision. However, it could
be hard for gay people to come out in an
environment where they have no access to
social support or other gay people to con-
sult, he said.

Sara ThompSon
Thompson, Salina senior, began to
accept her sexual orientation during her
freshman year at college. She told friends
and her brother, who were all supportive.
But she feared revealing who she was to her
conservative parents.
Pretending was really hard, she said.
Having a big secret like that is just some-
thing that I cant deal with.
She called her parents in Salina a week
before she planned to go back home, so
she could give them enough time to think
about it and then have a conversation.
Tompson recalled that on that frst
phone call, her mothers response seemed
better than she expected. Tompson cel-
ebrated that night with a group of gay
friends.
But the next day, she was hurt when her
parents said they would not support her
anymore.
Her mother revealed her disappoint-
ment at losing her dream for her daugh-
ter getting married and having children.
When Tompson reassured her mother
that she would still have a chance for a
family, she respond-
ed that that would
be sinful. When her
mother then urged
her to reconsider her
decision, Thompson
informed her that
being a lesbian was not
a decision. Tat ended
the conversation, and
tearful Tompson ran
to her friends apart-
ment for solace and
support.
When Thompson
went to her parents home a week later,
her mother was not there. Her father
announced to her with a somber face that
they would take back her car and not pay
her tuition. Te conversation about her
sexuality never happened.
Tompson next saw her parents four
months later, during Tanksgiving at her
grandparents house, where the extended
family gathered. She and her parents didnt
talk with each other, but her mother told
her as she lef her grandmothers house,
Im still upset about you. I hope its worth
it to you.
Tompson chose not to go back home
for Christmas, instead going to Dallas
to the house of her mothers best friend,
who disagreed with her mothers negative
response to Tompsons sexuality.
Afer coming back from Dallas, she
returned to her parents home. Her father
told her he worried about her riding a bike
to work and decided to give her the car
back. Tompson said she tried to repair
the relationship with her parents, and her
mother brought in a priest.
He sympathized with Tompson and
suggested they call each other every week.
Afer returning to Lawrence, she faith-
fully called her parents for the frst sev-
eral weeks. Tompsons frustration and
anger grew bigger when they never called
or called her back. She eventually stopped
calling them.
Now she has to fnd a place to go every
holiday, which makes her feel lonely. She
tries to think about the positives she gained
through the separation, such as her fnan-
cial independence.
Her mother recently called and said she
was always welcome to come home, but
Tompson wasnt ready to spend time with
her mother, who still wants her to undergo
counseling to reorient her sexuality.
I told my mother it is part of my every-
day life, and I dont want to have a rela-
tionship with people who dont accept me,
Tompson said.
Someday, she hopes to have a family
with a same-sex partner and restore a rela-
tionship with her parents when they fully
understand and embrace her.
aShlynn horraS
Horras never got to choose the right
moment to tell her father, mother and step-
mother that she was a lesbian. Instead, she
was outed by her own actions publicly
holding hands with a girl in her home-
town, Knoxville, Iowa.
Horras, a junior, didnt realize she was
a lesbian until she was strongly attracted
to a girl in her high school. Te girl she
dated was so special to her that Horras
wasnt afraid to hold her hand or hug her
in public, which triggered a confrontation
at home.
It happened on a summer evening, right
afer her junior year of high school. Horras
was babysitting her half-brother and half-
sister in her fathers house. Lynelle, Horras
stepmother, who asked her last name not
be used, came home from work and asked
Horras to come into the patio room.
Lynelle said she learned about Horras
intimate relationship with the girl through
her daughter, who saw Horras with her
girlfriend, and demanded to know about
it. Horras responded that it was not difer-
ent from relationships she had with boys
previously. Her stepmother yelled at her,
citing Bible passages that condemned gays
and lesbians as sinners. She also demanded
to know if Horras had done anything to
her siblings and informed her she could no
longer take care of them.
Her father summoned her the next day
and asked why she became a lesbian and
what he could have done diferently as a
father. Horras sat in silence crying, just
listening to him blame himself and her
mother, his ex-wife.
In his mind, its not possible to be gay
and happy, she said. I think that was his
main concern.
She ran to her mothers home and came
out to her, telling her that her father and
stepmother were upset at her for being a
lesbian.
Her mother, Alda Knight, was accepting
and said she already knew about Horras
relationship with the girl. Knight admitted
she was concerned that Horras couldnt get
married or have a happy family, but she
thought she had to be supportive.
Horras stopped visiting her fathers house
for a while, but she received Christmas
and birthday cards from her stepmother.
She started to spend time with her father
and stepmother again, recognizing their
attempt to repair the relationship.
It has been four years since Horras sex-
ual orientation became open to her fam-
ily. She feels her father doesnt completely
accept her, but she also recognizes changes
in her father. He used to avoid talking about
her relationship or girlfriend. However,
when she visited during the Tanksgiving
break, he asked her about her girlfriend for
the frst time.

the rest of their lives
together. Hong wished
her father could have
been there, but he still
doesnt even know she is
a lesbian.
Since accepting her
sexuality during her
senior year of high
school, Hong, Rose Hill
senior, hasnt hesitated to
talk about it to anybody
except her father.
Fearing his rejection and possible loss
of his fnancial support, Hong has passed
up many opportunities to come out. She
doesnt want to disappoint her father who
has dreamed of walking down the wedding
aisle with his only daughter.
Im not going to ruin my dads life or
anyones until I know that its worth it, she
said.
Hong was born of an American mother
and Korean father, who immigrated at the
age of 15. Her parents were divorced when
she was in seventh grade, and her father
got custody.
Before accepting her own sexuality,
Hong admitted she was homophobic. Her
church taught that homosexuality was sin-
ful, and she couldnt lose her homophobia
until she frst dated a girl in eighth grade.
She quickly ended the relationship, fright-
ened that others might fnd out. She then
forced herself to be straight, dating men
until her senior year.
Meeting gay friends in her high school
helped her overcome her fear. Once she
was comfortable about her sexuality, she
shocked teachers and peers, holding the
hand of her former girlfriend publicly.
Some of them reacted with overt discrimi-
nation to her and disgust. Hong said she
was excited to come out to her mother,
who herself came out as a lesbian a year
earlier.
She recalled riding in the car on the way
to dinner at Applebees when she told her
mother she was dating a girl. As expected,
her mother was accepting and even joked
about her being homophobic when she was
younger.
Hongs mother, who asked her name not
be used because she works for an Army
Reserve, had lived with fear for most of her
life before coming out.
I dont want her to live a life like me,
her mother said.
She said although she was worried about
her daughters safety
and challenges she
might face in her life
because of her sexual
orientation, she was
glad she could come
out earlier.
While Hong appre-
ciated the support of
her mother, coming
out to her old-fash-
ioned father is more
challenging.
Hes a very tradi-
tional Christian and
thinks homosexuality is wrong, and he
always talks about me getting married and
having kids, Hong said. Hes got a lot of
hopes and dreams for his only daughter.
If he fnds out that Im gay, its just the end
for him because his only daughter is a les-
bian.
When Hong was living with her father,
she was frustrated with his authoritarian
behavior and lack of afection for her or
her brother.
She was jealous of friends fathers who
hugged and kissed their children. He tried
to be a correct father, she said, but he failed
to pay enough attention to her life and
emotional status.
While they had disagreements and she
sometimes even confronted him, Hong
always tried to be a good daughter by earn-
ing good grades and participating in extra-

Hemenway has been chancel-
lor during a record enrollment
of 30,102 students this fall, with
a freshman class with the high-
est ACT scores in school history.
Hemenway oversaw the distribu-
tion of more than $310 million for
renovations and additions to the
schools student housing, research
labs and athletics complexes.
Te University also saw a 54
percent increase in minority fac-
ulty and a 33 percent increase in
women faculty since Hemenway
became chancellor.
Lynn Bretz, director of University
Communications, has worked with
previous chancellors including
Gene Budig, who was the chancel-
lor before Hemenway. She said that
Hemenway made students his frst
priority when he became chancel-
lor in 1995. Hemenway worked to
improve the student experience at
the University by opening student
services ofces during the lunch
hour and providing more comput-
ers on campus for faculty and stu-
dent use.
He wanted every student to
have the potential to have an inter-
national experience and a research
experience, Bretz said. Tat dra-
matically impacted the quality of
education students get here.
Hemenway had a tough time
picking out his favorite times dur-
ing his tenure.
One of the things Im proudest
of is the way that the University
of Kansas has become one univer-
sity, Hemenway said. We need to
think of ourselves as one univer-
sity. Te medical center, Lawrence
campus all of it comes together
as a University that everyone can
be proud of.
Hemenway leaves at a time of
economic crisis but said that didnt
have any efect on the timing of
his decision. He said he would
work on the budget during the
next seven months to help make
the new chancellors job easier.
Donna Shank, chair of the Kansas
Board of Regents, said in a press
release that the regents would
appoint a committee to begin a
national search for Hemenways
successor.
Hemenway said he felt con-
fdent he made the University a
better place than it was when he
arrived.
What the job is really all about
is creating a greater university
brick by brick, step by step, he
said. Tats the way I tried to do
it, and I think weve had consid-
erable success doing it that way.
My recommendation to the next
chancellor would be to adopt that
motto, too.

curricular activities.
Afer Hong moved to Lawrence, her
relationship with her father actually
became better. Trough her intercultural
communication classes, she learned that
the way he expressed his afection might be
cultural because East Asians tend not to be
as expressive as Westerners. She started to
appreciate what her father gave to her and
her brother, providing the family a nice
house and paying for her college.
I know thats how he shows he loves us,
by trying to give us things he didnt have
when he was younger, she said.
Hong has brought her partner, Bencken,
to her fathers house several times,
although she introduced her as a friend
and not her spouse. His attitude surprised
Hong,because he seemed more accepting
with Bencken, talking to her and remem-
bering her, which he never did with her
other friends.
I want to tell him so he realizes who she
is in my life, she said.
Hong thinks her father may be starting
to realize she is a lesbian because she has
brought only women home.
I think hes working on getting used to
it in his head whatever he thinks is going
on, she said. But then of course, it may be
a completely diferent story if I actually tell
him. He cant escape it and then the whole
world may fall apart.
Hong said she would wait to tell him
until afer her graduation in May.
Telling a little white lie is not harmful,
but lying your entire existence about who
you are that can only be detrimental
for you.
JuliAn RiveRA
Rivera inadvertently came out of the
closet in his parents kitchen. Tats where
his mother found an essay lef there by his
sister Shaina that referred to his sexuality.
Until that time, he had struggled with
whether he could be both gay and a good
son, deciding that staying quiet was one
way to protect himself and his parents.
In my head, I thought thats something
they dont need to know, he said. Its some-
thing that would complicate their life more
the way they interact with their friends,
like, Oh, they have a gay son? I never want
that sort of pity on my parents.
Afer his mother read Shainas essay, she
walked into her sisters room sobbing, ask-
ing if it was true. Shaina said their parents,
who had been in denial of Julians sexual
orientation, were both worried that their
son would experience discrimination and
that they wouldnt have grandchildren.
I was mad at my sister at frst. I wanted
it to be part of my story, he said. Now, I
have to move on.
Despite the revelation, Rivera was
relieved when his parents still treated him
well. He and his parents havent yet talked
at length about his sexuality, but he is hop-
ing to have that conversation soon.
Both of his parents came from the
Philippines to work as nurses in the 1970s.
Rivera was born in the United States and
grew up in Lenexa.
Rivera struggled with his sexual iden-
tity in high school. Many friends at school
knew he was gay, but his parents didnt. He
said having a double life aggravated him.
He recalled having an impulse to yell at his
parents one evening when they expressed
disapproval of his gay friends at school.
Tey were the only people who under-
stood me, he said. I just really wanted to
say, You know, Im gay!
Rivera even once considered attending
reorientation therapy to change his sexual
orientation because it conficted with his
Catholic faith and parents expectations.
I thought that was what would make
them happy, Rivera said.
Reading books about homosexuality
made him realize that the therapy could
not change his sexual orientation and
could only be harmful to him.
Rivera said his mother was always like
a best friend. Tey talk about everything,
from his major to family gossip. Tey now
need to talk about his sexuality.
He said he once introduced his boy-
friend to her as his friend, and she cooked
him a meal. Rivera said he was sad his
mother recognized his boyfriend as just
one of his college friends and didnt know
how important he was to him.
Rivera graduates in spring and said he
hopes to have the conversation about his
sexuality with his parents before then.
I hope they continue to be proud of me
and still see me as the same person.

The shop smells like incense. The walls
are covered with splotchy paint. The door
creaks loudly when it opens or closes.
Herbs and spices line the racks. Customers
touch everything. They pick up gems and
decks of cards and turn them over and over
in their hands.
A witch sits in the back corner of the
store on the loveseat typing at a computer.
She has faded red hair, and her bangs are in
her face. She's not wearing a black pointy
hat, she doesn't have a wart on her nose
and her last name doesn't have a cardinal
direction in it. Her name doesn't start with
"wicked," either. In fact, her name is mun-
dane. The witch is Kacey Carlson.
Carlson, Chicago native and co-owner
of The Village Witch, 311 N. Second St.,
is a psychic. Her job incorporates her per-
sonal beliefs, her religion and her passion.
She gives readings to customers who seek
her help. She reads tarot cards, and she
counsels her customers for $60 an hour.
Carlson's loveseat is next to an altar.
There is a woman in the Mandala paint-
ing above the altar, which seems to close-
ly resemble a shrine. The woman in the
painting has a familiar face.
The painting's subject is recognizable
because she is sitting right next to it. The
woman in the Mandala painting is the
same woman on the couch Carlson.
The word Mandala comes from the
Hindu language. It means "concentric
energy circle," and it is associated with
spirituality. According to famous 19th cen-
tury psychiatrist Carl Jung, a Mandala was
a representation of the unconscious self.
Carlson used a photograph that had
been previously taken of her to create the
background of the painting.
"It was taken when I was pregnant with
Rain, but I didn't know it yet," she said.
In the picture and in the Mandala,
Carlson was pregnant with her only daugh-
ter, Rain Michael. Her daughter hasn't seen
the painting yet, and she never will. She
died for no particular reason during birth,
Carlson said.
She had tears in her eyes when she
spoke of the experience. Although her
baby girl died in June 2003, when Carlson
talked about it in a hushed whisper, it was
as though her grief was fresh.
Carlson said when her daughter passed
away, she was given a prophecy that she
would have 100 daughters.
Carlson painted 100 mothers on the
bottom of the Mandala and 100 daughters
on the top. She said all of the figures were
channeled through her from various dei-
ties or as her friends call them, her "rice
krispies" the voices that speak to her and
show her things in her head.
Vixey Rose, a friend of Carlson's, said
the fact that Carlson channeled 200 deities
was amazing.
"Channeling a deity is exhausting," she
said. "I've only channeled two."
Carlson identifies herself as many
things. She is a Wiccan, and she is a witch.
She also calls herself a synchronist and a
white magician. She is a practitioner of the
three-fold law doing something nega-
tive or positive and having it come back
three times.
She leads study groups, and she is quick
to inform anyone about her field of exper-
tise from the study of tarot cards to what
it means to channel a deity.
Carlson said, to a certain extent, she
felt she had always been a Wiccan, but she
wasn't raised that way.
"It is true that people who define them-
selves as Wiccan or Pagan will say that they
are kind of born that way," she said. "You
find out progressively that there are other
people that believe that way."
Carlson said she was raised Christian.
"But I did my first magic spell when I
was four, and I sort of invented a tarot deck
when I was 11," she said.
Carlson said she had never seen a tarot
deck before she made her own at 11. She
said she invented cards with pictures on
them that she could tell fortunes with. She
said they had a striking resemblance to
actual tarot cards and that she made 21 of
them the number of cards it takes for an
actual reading.
When she was 18, Carlson said, she
read her first book that defined the word
Wicca.
"Suddenly I found there were names for
things I had already sensed and that there
were other people who felt that way, too,"
she said.
A whole new world opened up for
Carlson after that.
"I dove in," she said. "I started reading
everything I could get my hands on."
Carlson said she has psychic ability, but
she considers it a very young science and
said that everyone has at least some of the
same abilities as she.
"The way I define psychic ability, I often
use the metaphor of musical ability," she
said. "Everyone is born with some talent,
a little bit of talent. There are Mozarts out
there, and there are people who can't hold
a tune."
Carlsons strong gaze could make some-
one wonder if she was reading their mind
or seeing their inevitable future.
During her days, Carlson is busy help-
ing others decipher hidden meanings in
their dreams and what their problems
might mean for tomorrow.
Nicole Monroe, a customer of Carlson's,
said she helped her immensely.
"I came into the shop, I was in chaos,
and I got a reading from her, and it helped
put things into perspective for me," she
said. "She had never met me before, but
she was able to pin down seven or eight
things about my personality that people I
had known for years couldn't."
"Customers come in here to ask advice.
We're very careful to not sell anything that
is intangible," Carlson said.
Rose said Carlson was especially good
at healing.
Carlson said she sees up to 25 people a
day, and that her count depended on the
type of weather.
"The only thing that seems to be predic-
tive at all is weather," she said. It's inter-
esting that in really horrifying weather,
people come in."
Besides her work, Carlson founded a
charity group called Tribe Threee. Monroe
and Rose said that Carlson's way of ignit-
ing compassion in others is what made
Tribe Threee so successful. The foundation
raises money through parties for various
causes throughout Lawrence.
During her time off, Carlson has made
it her mission to find her supposed chil-
dren. She made a MySpace page devoted
to the cause.
"Many women have identified them-
selves as feeling like they are my daugh-
ters," she said. "It's become my mission to
find those women and provide whatever
kind of mothering is needed."
Carlson wears bat charms around her
neck to symbolize Rain Michael and some
of the other "daughters" she has accumu-
lated since the death of her own.
Carlson said in retrospect, the thought
of someday having 100 daughters helped
her recover from the pain of losing her
child. So far, Carlson said 12 people have
told her they thought they were her chil-
dren, and she is on the hunt for 88 more.
Although Carlson identifies herself in a
not-so-traditional way, her goals in life are
similar to many others' to have all sorts
of love, except with a lot more children.

the best way to fght
the huge budget cuts
Your professor today is brought
to you by Irish Spring Soap.
In the face of budget cuts from
the state, the University has to find
some way to make ends meet and
give students quality educations.
The obvious solution is to make
every space on campus available
for advertising.
Advertising already surrounds
us, though it may be slightly subtler
than what I think the University
should implement.
Heres what I picture campus as
feeling and looking like next year.
You arrive on campus and no
longer ride on a blue bus that has
a KU emblem on it. Youre rid-
ing on a bus that is sponsored by
Gatorade.
As you pass Potter Lake and the
hill, a giant oscillating billboard
tells you that Wendys has a new
hamburger that features three pat-
ties and six slices of bacon.
Step off the bus and walk to class
on our new sidewalks that double
as ad space. Youll be walking right
on the products you should buy.
The building youre walk-
ing to will no longer be called
by the name it had in the past.
Corporations will have the oppor-
tunity to place their name in front
of the original name of the build-
ing (for a nominal fee of course).
Nike Wescoe. Microsoft Budig.
McDonalds Memorial Union.
Tampax Watkins. The list goes on.
No walls will be painted a plain
color. Every space on that wall is
sold. Think of how cost effective
that is! No blank space means no
lost revenue, which means mega-
bucks for us.
Before class starts, a speaker
mounted in the classroom will
announce which brand is bringing
your class to you that day: Your
professor today is brought to you
by Irish Spring Soap.
And then in leaps your profes-
sor sporting an Irish Spring Soap
jump suit (just so that you dont
forget who is helping bring you
that class that youve paid hun-
dreds of dollars for).
After class, you might be a lit-
tle thirsty or hungry. But not to
worry, The Underground is still
around, but theres a catch only
companies that advertise heavily
on campus will be allowed to use
space for their products. If you
arent buying space to advertising
you arent getting space to sell.
Simple as that.
The strangest thing about this
hypothetical situation is that after
talking to University Relations Ive
found out that theres no depart-
ment that handles advertising on
campus as a whole, which tells
me we dont have set standards
for such a thing. The University
has people who sell ad space for
the buses, in the Union and for
everything that deals with sports,
but thats all I could find.
The people who could imple-
ment the placement of a billboard
on campus, or some other form of
flagrant advertising, would have to
be the chancellor or provost.
So what do you say, Hemenway?
We sure could use some money.
After all, were not hiring any new
professors next year.
So whats it going to be: a tuition
hike, a fee increase or Gatorade on
the sides of buses?

Where would we be
without gay people?
Penguins always had a gay look
to them. The waddle was a dead
giveaway.
When I recently found out that
a gay penguin couple in a zoo
was attempting to steal eggs from
straight penguins and replacing
them with rocks, I had to chuckle.
The gay penguins were fenced
off from the others, which I had no
problem with. The gay penguins
could have harmed the eggs and
disrupted the hatching cycle.
What I had a problem with was a
comment left by a user on the news
story. The user stated that there
was no reason for these penguins
to even be in the zoo anymore
because they were not contributing
to the penguin population by hav-
ing eggs of their own.
Homosexuality, though, has
contributed more to society (and
the animal kingdom, for that mat-
ter) than offspring. I cant speak for
the animal kingdom, but for soci-
ety, many gay people were indis-
pensable.
The 1963 March on Washington
for Jobs and Freedom, where
Martin Luther King Jr. delivered
his I Have a Dream speech, might
have had less of an effect on civil
rights. Bayard Rustin was the prin-
ciple organizer for the march.
The Disney movies Aladdin,
The Little Mermaid and Beauty
and the Beast might have been
less magical without the lyrics of
Howard Ashman, who died from
complications from AIDS at 40.
World War II could have lasted
just a little longer, killing that many
more people. Alan Turing was head
of Hut 8 for a part of WWII and
broke many of the Nazis naval
codes to help end the war.
As hypothetical as these situa-
tions are, these gay people never-
theless contributed to these events
in history that people of all sexuali-
ties have benefited from.
Obviously their straight coun-
terparts could have organized the
March on Washington, composed
the music of Disney films, cracked
German codes, tackled Fords assas-
sin and penned plays and books,
but its impossible to determine
how effectual or influential those
acts or works would have been.
After all, Im sure it was gay
penguins that taught all penguins
that fabulous waddle.

Although my hopes were
revived on Election Night, that
great night in history, my dreams
of clean air, clean water, ecologi-
cal justice, wind turbines, solar
panels, and effective environ-
mental policies and laws have yet
to come true. It is time to get to
work, President-elect Obama.
The United States spends $700
billion a year on imported oil
it is time for New Energy for
America. It has become clear
through the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan that our oil depen-
dency poses a serious threat to
our national security. We should
question why our dependence is
so high and why we feel it neces-
sary to securitize oil in the first
place. In doing this, we should
find alternative ways to cost-ef-
fectively use renewable resources
to take true steps toward our
countrys energy independence.
The inefficient processes com-
mon to most industries date
back to the days of the Industrial
Revolution. But we have come a
long way politically and cultur-
ally, so why not technologically?
We have actually developed
clean energy technologies; the
problems instead lie in the politi-
cal powers and subsidies given
to fossil fuel production. But the
even more pertinent problem lies
in our cultural demand for oil,
coal and natural gas to give us
cheap electricity.
Sadly, the only thing that will
develop cheaper renewable tech-
nologies is a steady incline in
prices because people take action
when it hits their pocketbook.
Ironically, todays gas prices
have dramatically dropped to
well below $2 per gallon a
price I never thought I would see
again in my lifetime.
We should be worried that
the fall in gas prices will distract
our new president from dealing
with the environmental issues
that plague our country because
people can afford gas again and
will no longer be concerned with
polluting our environment and
changing their energy consump-
tion patterns.
The main argument distract-
ing from further developing and
implementing renewable energy
technologies is that Americans
needs a reliable, cheap source of
fuel and electricity, and until that
is given to us, our mantra will
continue to be drill, baby, drill.
Although economically
understandable, this argument
still ceases to address the deeper
issue of why we need and use so
much fuel and electricity. Instead,
we need to change our basic con-
sumption patterns and re-teach
ourselves to consume less, drive
fewer gas-guzzling vehicles and
use electricity-sucking appliances
less often.
We have so greatly affected
our natural world that we are in
a new era: the Anthropocene. I
hope this new era brings about
change. Thank goodness Obama
agrees that climate change and
our energy crisis are major issues.
Our country cannot afford poli-
tics as usual.
Now is the time for change.
Now is the time for the new gen-
eration to take over. Now is the
time for us.

What ive learned in
the best four years
On Dec. 22, I leave Lawrence
without a degree and head for
Denver to resume living in my
parents basement. Ive made it
through three and a half years.
Seventy-eight credit hours
taken what have I learned?
I learned that in Lawrence
every day may be a holiday,
every meal a picnic and every
beer a Boulevard Wheat.
But perhaps more
importantly, I learned that in
getting a University education
not every professor cares,
not every teacher knows, not
every text-book is righteous.
I learned that words matter,
and kids arent the only ones
watching too much TV. I learned
more from three pages of
William Zinssers On Writing
Well than I did from English 209
and 211 combined. I learned
that littering can put you in jail
and that jail is the worst place
on earth.
I learned that academic
advisors dont always know
what theyre talking about,
unless you want to waste your
parents money. I learned that
undecided isnt an acceptable
status as a sophomore. I learned
to listen instead of to hear. I
learned what it feels like to be
a national champion (freaking
epic).
I also learned a very
important lesson from the lyrics
of Bob Dylan. Lesson, aphorism,
metaphor, creed it can be
called a number of things, but
to be sure, its something Ill
keep in mind, leaving these best
four years of my life behind to
continue living: He not busy
being born, is busy dying.
So long, KU.

The next Wescoe Beach?
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
After spending four hours on the
roof of the Ranch on Monday after-
noon and puzzling police and sever-
al witnesses,
an unknown
man willingly
came down
with an offi-
cer.
Moments
later, a squad
car sped
down Sixth
Street with the man in the back. As
of Monday, police had no details
about the mans identity or motives.
Sgt. Michael Monroe said the man
would be charged with criminal
trespassing.
The police arrived at the Ranch,
a popular student bar at Sixth and
Crestline streets, after getting called
by a passerby around 12:15 p.m. The
ensuing commotion attracted sev-
eral witnesses, including a painter
from Portland, a Conoco gas station
clerk, a good Samaritan in a beat-up
black car, three fraternity brothers
and a French Mastiff named Mary
Jane.
It began after 11 a.m., when an
unknown man exited a Greyhound
bus outside of the adjacent Conoco
and climbed the awning on the west
side of the Ranch to get on the roof.
He wore a white T-shirt and baggy
green shorts, carried a mysterious
bag and at one point, ripped the
sleeves off his shirt and covered
his face with them. According to
Lawrence police, the mans bus tick-
et confirmed that he had arrived
from Denver.
Jake Gray, a young man from
Portland, Ore., left his room at
the nearby Rodeway Inn to let his
French Mastiff dog, Mary Jane,
go the bathroom shortly after the
police arrived. Gray said he saw 10
police cars, an ambulance and a
man on the roof of the Ranch. He
thought it was a hostage situation or
robbery and returned to his room.
I thought Id just stay in there,
Gray said, and hope a bullet doesnt
fly through.
Gray and his friend, Stephanie
Baskins, watched Law & Order
on TV for a couple of hours. Gray
wanted to change the channel, but
Baskins hid the remote.
While they sat in the Rodeway
Inn, police tried negotiating with
the man from the west side of the
building. The man shook his head
several times, agreed to let the police
give him a blanket and accepted a
lighter and cigarette from Lawrence
resident Rob Mansour.
Mansour drove by in a beat-
up black car around 2:15 p.m. He
walked toward the side of the build-
ing and tossed up the cigarette and
lighter before an officer told him
to leave.
He just looked like he needed to
smoke, Mansour said.
Although police said the man on
the roof barely talked, he gave one
possible motive for why he climbed
on top of the Ranch as he sat there
with his hands in his pockets. I
want to sit up here alone for a while,
he shouted.
Police didnt climb on the roof
until about 2:45 p.m. Monroe said
they wanted to take every precau-
tion to ensure their safety and the
mans safety.

Unidentifiedman
Ryan McGeeney/KANSAN
An unidentifed man stood atop the roof of the Ranch on Monday afternoon tosses a dufe bag to a Lawrence Police Ofcer after several hours of negotiation. After ofcers talked the man into coming down fromthe roof peacefully, he was taken to
the Lawrence Police Station for questioning. Sgt. Michael Monroe said the man may be charged with criminal trespassing.
Crime
Mystery man climbs Ranch roof, attracts crowd
Down below at the Conoco sta-
tion, a clerk gave a man who had
bought diesel his receipt. The clerk
came in shortly after the police cars
had arrived, and her co-worker
suspected that the man had come
in on the 10:55 Greyhound bus,
which releases passengers in front
of Conoco.
The clerk, who insisted on ano-
nymity, had seen Greyhound pas-
sengers who talked to themselves,
made weird motions and acted irate
for no reason. Shed never seen any-
thing like this.
Neither had three fraternity
boys. Joe Sportsman, Tampa, Fla.,
freshman; David Brinker, Leawood
junior, and Jack Hodes, Kansas
City, Mo., junior; pulled up to the
Conoco minutes before 3 p.m. After
attending morning classes, the three
students had left the Kappa Sigma
fraternity house to buy snacks.
Only in Lawrence, Sportsman
said, as he held a fountain drink in
his hand. Sportsman, Brinker and
Hodes watched from the Conoco
sidewalk as police continued to
engage the unknown man.
I think he could have picked a
better bar than the Ranch, Hodes
said.
At 3:18 p.m., the unknown man
relented, and police helped him
climb down through a hatch in the
roof.
Inside the Conoco, the clerk
watched.
Theyre transit people, she
said. You dont know who they are,
where theyre from or what prob-
lems came with them.
Gray wasnt there to see the
unknown man finally come down
from his perch. The painter from
Portland, who had caught one more
glimpse of the mystery man on his
way to the Dollar General, returned
again to his hotel room shortly
before 3 p.m.
Gray said he was going to drink a
beer, check on Mary Jane and watch
TV with Baskins.
Hopefully she doesnt turn on
Law & Order, he said.

Sure, their final records are the same.
But a look at each squads last game tells
two completely different stories.
Kansas (7-5) notched its best victory
of the season on Nov. 29, a 40-37 triumph
against No. 12 Missouri. On the other
hand, Minnesota (7-5) finished its year
on Nov. 22 with a 55-0 loss to Iowa. It was
the Golden Gophers final game in the
Metrodome.
Recovering from a loss that bad isnt
easy, but sophomore quarterback Adam
Weber said hes grateful for another game.
Were happy we have one more chance
to end this on a good note, Weber told
The Star Tribune.
For the second time in three years,
Minnesota is headed to the Insight Bowl.
In 2006, it surrendered a 38-7 halftime
lead to Texas Tech. The Red Raiders 44-41
overtime victory was the largest comeback
in bowl history.
It was also Minnesota coach Glen
Masons final game in maroon and gold.
Coach Tim Brewster followed him and
promptly went 1-11. Things turned
around quickly, though, as Brewsters crew
jumped out to a 7-1 start this year.
But the Golden Gophers hit a rough
patch in the final third of the season, drop-
ping all four contests. Still, Brewster said
he was excited about the opportunity to
play Kansas.
I could not be more proud of what
our team has accomplished this season,
Brewster said. I am thrilled that all their
hard work is being rewarded.
Brewster said he liked playing against
a team from another BCS conference
because it provided a good measuring
stick for his team.
Weber quietly had a solid sophomore
season. He completed 63 percent of his
passes for 2,585 yards and 14 touch-
downs.
Weber has also been part of the season-
ending skid, throwing six of his eight
interceptions in the last five games. He
said the bowl game was a chance to regain
his early season form and start anew.
Its the start of next season, Weber
said. Its important for us to go into 2009
on a good note.
Although Weber still has time to
play a couple more years, the seniors on
Minnesotas squad desperately want to
close their careers with a victory.
Theyve been through two coaches,
given up a historic bowl loss and suffered
through a 1-11 season. Defensive end
William VanDeSteeg said he and his fellow
seniors had been looking forward to this
game for four years.
It will be good to go down to Arizona
and play my last college football game as a
Gopher, VanDeSteeg said. Its something
Ill never forget.

Minnesota quarterback adamweber eludes Iowa defender Mitch King in the frst half of a game Saturday. Minnesota lost the game 55-0.
M
issouris performance in the
Big 12 Championship game
defined this years confer-
ence season. To the dismay of many
Big 12 North football fans, the South
still holds all the power.
Oklahoma stomped Missouri,
62-21. It really should have been
expected and it was by many. The
South has now won five straight Big
12 title games by an average of 36.4
points per game. Although Missouri
was beaten handily, 38-17, in last years
championship by Oklahoma, the North
held its own during the regular season.
Last year the North went 10-9
against the South. The inter-divisional
battles provided some of the more
memorable games in conference play.
Colorado shocked Oklahoma, and
Kansas State busted up Texas in Austin.
Many thought these upsets and the
emergence of Missouri, Kansas and
Colorado the three teams went a
combined 8-2 against the South
would cause a shift in power to the
North.
However, the success didnt con-
tinue. The North posted a 3-16 record
against its warm-weathered foes.
Unlike last years success, struggling
against the South is nothing new for
the North. During the five years before
2007, the North went a horrid 28-67
against the South.
The North didnt even look impres-
sive in the games it did win against the
South this season.
Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas
State all managed to scrounge up one
victory versus the South. Nebraska
topped Baylor by 12, Kansas State
knocked off Texas A&M by 14, and
the Big 12 North Champion Missouri
Tigers snuck by the Souths bottom-
dwelling Baylor by three.
This doesnt mean Baylor and Texas
A&M didnt enjoy success against the
North. Although the two teams went a
combined 4-12 in conference play, they
were still able to manage a collective
3-3 mark against the North.
The fact that many of the Norths
players come from Texas could have
something to do with the struggles.
Lots of recruits enjoy playing close
to home at the schools they grew up
cheering for. As a result, the North
often scoops up players who bigger
Texas schools passed on.
But this doesnt explain everything.
Texas talent has played a large role in
taking Kansas football to a nationally
competitive level. Kansas has stolen a
plethora of talent from the Lone Star
State.
This year, no number of recruits
could really help the North. The South
was too dominant.
The Souths success is self-explana-
tory. Its simply the best grouping of six
teams in the nation. Oklahoma is first
in the BCS standings, Texas is third,
Texas Tech is seventh, and Oklahoma
State is 13th.
Oklahoma is going to the BCS
National Championship Game, Texas
is on its way to the Fiesta Bowl, Texas
Tech is preparing for the Cotton Bowl
and Oklahoma State is traveling to the
Holiday Bowl. Of all the bowl games
played by Big 12 teams, the South has a
presence in the top four.
The South is also stacked with some
of the best NFL prospects in the coun-
try, many of whom are Heisman fore-
runners. Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy,
Michael Crabtree, Dez Bryant and
Graham Harrell all lead the nation in
what they do.
This year the South was just too
good. Do you think the North would
fare better against the ACC Atlantic or
Coastal divisions? What about the SEC
East or West divisions?
In 2008, it would have. This year the
North would have faced anyone rather
than the Big 12 South.

Freshman forwards as unpredictable as a box of chocolates
Jon goering/kaNSaN
Coach Bill Self holds his head in his hands during a rough frst half against
Jackson State Saturday afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse.

BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
On the surface, Bill Self and fic-
tional movie character Forrest Gump
dont share many of the same traits.
Self, from Edmund, Okla., coaches
basketball. Gump, from Greenbow,
Ala., plays ping-pong. Self is witty
and earned a masters degree from
Oklahoma State. Gump is sluggish
and an elementary school principal
once said he was too stupid to attend
a normal school.
But when Self tried to describe the
play of Kansas three freshman big
men earlier in the season, he used
a variation of one of Gumps most
famous sayings.
Every day, its a box of choco-
lates, Self said.
In the 1994 film named after him,
Gump repeatedly said, Life is like a
box of chocolates; you never know
what youre going to get. Neither
does Self with freshman forwards
Marcus Morris, Markieff Morris and
Quintrell Thomas.
Although Self hasnt quoted Gump
since Kansas two exhibition games,
the teams eight games have proved
him right. Both Morris twins and
Thomas have started at least one
game at power forward alongside
sophomore center Cole Aldrich.
Following impressive perfor-
mances in the Jayhawks two exhibi-
tion games when he averaged seven
and a half points and five rebounds,
Thomas scored only seven points in
the next five games.
After opening the season with 15
rebounds against UMKC, Markieff
Morris fouled out of an 89-81 defeat
against Syracuse three games later.
Officials ejected him in an 87-60 vic-
tory against Kent State for taking part
in a minor scuffle.
Marcus Morris brightest moment
came in the Kent State game. He
recorded a double-double with
14 points and 10
rebounds and found
his way to the foul line
for 12 shots. The next
game against New
Mexico State, Marcus
played only nine min-
utes and committed
three fouls.
None of the three have played
consistently well enough to secure a
starting spot.
It feels like thats the way its start-
ing to end up, Marcus said. One
day, I have a good game, then Kieff
has a good game, then Q has a good
game.
None of them had good enough
practices before Saturdays 86-62 vic-
tory against Jackson State. For the
first time of his career, senior forward
Matt Kleinmann started in front of
the three freshmen.
Self said it was because of a lack of
effort in practice.
I think you play like you practice.
Im one of those guys where you
cant turn it on, turn it off, Self said.
When guys dont run in practice,
theyre not going to run in the games.
When a guy doesnt get in a stance
in practice, hes not going to do it in
a game.
Fitting in with the theme of the
season so far, the Morris twins both
played unpredictably well off the
bench against Jackson State.
Marcus scored 13 points and had
three rebounds. Markieff recorded
eight points and five rebounds and
even made a three-
pointer.
The twins played
one of their better
games, Self said. I
thought they were
both pretty good.
Thomas was the
man of the night two
games ago against New Mexico State.
He scored 10 points and recorded
seven rebounds.
With a week of practice before
Saturdays game against Massachusetts
at Sprint Center, Self is hoping all
three freshmen progress. He said he
thought they would start to be more
reliable.
Were just inconsistent, Self said.
Theyve all shown flashes of being
very productive, and we also saw
flashes of being young.
As Gump would say, You never
know what youre going to get.

ku sports schedule
While college footballs regular
season allows conferences to build
reputations, bowl season offers
the opportunity to leave a lasting
impression good or bad. Just ask
the Big Ten. The epic title-game
failures of Ohio State the past two
seasons made the conference fre-
quent fodder for punch lines and
reinforced its rep as an impostor.
Coming off of one of its best all-
around showings this year, the Big
12 is faced with a make-or-break
bowl season. If Oklahoma and
Texas flop in BCS games and Big
Ten opponents pulverize Kansas
and Missouri in lesser games, the
Big 12s 2008 success could be dis-
missed as a flash in the pan. But
there isnt much reason to worry:
Given the matchups, the Big 12
could sweep its seven bowl games
this season.
SoonerS
Oklahoma drew Florida in
the BCS National Championship
game. The Sooners boast perhaps
the strongest offense in the history
of college football. Florida is an
SEC team with decidedly Big 12-ish
offensive firepower, but Oklahoma
is just too talented.
LonghornS
Texas should handle Ohio State
in the Fiesta Bowl. The Buckeyes
are much improved since their
early-season pasting at the hands
of USC, but Texas defensive end
Brian Orakpo might be the only
player in the nation capable of sin-
gle-handedly shutting down Ohio
States super-frosh quarterback
Terrell Pryor.
red raiderS
Texas Tech will score a lot of
points on Mississippi in the Cotton
Bowl. True, the Rebels bring SEC
pedigree into play, but the Red
Raiders are capable of outscoring
any squad.
CoWboyS
Similar teams in Oklahoma State
and Oregon meet in the Holiday
Bowl. Each runs a spread offense,
and each runs frequently from its
spread offense. Anchored by all-
everything back Kendall Hunter,
the Cowboys are basically a better
version of the Ducks.
CornhuSkerS
By the end of the regular season,
Nebraska was the best team in
the Big 12 North. The
Cornhuskers will keep
rolling in their Gator
Bowl matchup against
the Tigers. Clemsons
defense is staunch, but
its offense is shaky.
TigerS
Missouri and
Northwestern should turn the
Alamo Bowl into an offensive
exhibition. Missouri will do what
it normally does: Spread the ball
around the field with ease, allow 35
points, and win by 30.
JayhaWkS
Last and least, Kansas meets
Minnesota in the Insight Bowl.
The Jayhawks will drub the Golden
Gophers by 45 points or more in
what will amount to an excruciat-
ing 5-hour bastardization of the
game of football. Thank God itll
be hidden somewhere deep in the
recesses of cable on the
NFL Network.

Adam Jones suspension
lifted, will suit up Sunday
IRVING, Texas The Dallas
Cowboys placed Adam "Pacman"
Jones on their 53-man roster after
the NFL lifted the cornerback's
suspension.
Jones missed six games for
violating the league's player
conduct policy. He previously was
suspended for the entire 2007
season while with Tennessee and
played in only six games for the
Cowboys before the most recent
suspension after an alcohol-relat-
ed scufe at a Dallas hotel.
The NFL allowed Jones to re-
turn to practice last week and said
he would be able to return to play
Sunday at Pittsburgh.
Jones' suspension in 2007
came after multiple of-feld
incidents.
He was traded to Dallas during
the ofseason and given another
chance by commissioner Roger
Goodell.

Ballpark bailout retains
New York Mets feld name
NEW YORK Citi Field will
remain the name of the New York
Mets' new ballpark following a
government bailout the team
believes will help the struggling
bank survive its economic crisis.
Citigroup agreed in 2006 to
pay the Mets $400 million over
20 years for naming rights to the
stadium, scheduled to open next
year. Two New York City council-
men said last week that the $800
million ballpark's name should be
changed to Citi/Taxpayer Field.
After Citigroup's shares lost
60 percent of their value within a
week, the government agreed last
month to give the company a $20
billion cash injection following
an earlier $25 billion infusion.
Signage for Citi already is
visible at the ballpark, which is ad-
jacent to Shea Stadium, and more
is to come.

ok, so my subs really aren't gourmet and
we're not french either. my subs just taste
a little better, that's all! I wanted to
call it jimmy john's tasty sandwiches, but
my mom told me to stick with gourmet.
She thinks whatever I do is gourmet, but
i don't think either of us knows what it
means. so let's stick with tasty!

sports 3B Tuesday, december 9, 2008
BY Andrew wieBe
awiebe@kansan.com
A little more than three weeks
after Kansas season ended with
a second
round loss in
the NCAA
Tournament.
Two of Mark
Francis play-
ers received
p o s t s e a s on
honors for
their play in
2008.
Junior mid-
fielder Monica
Dolinsky and
junior defend-
er Estelle
Johnson were
selected to
the National Soccer Coaches
Association of America All-
Central Region team. Johnson
was named a first-team defender,
and Dolinsky earned second-
team honors as a midfielder.
Johnson became the first
Jayhawk named first-team all-
region since 2004. She started all
22 matches in 2008 and played
2,110 minutes, the most of anyone
on the team. Johnson scored her
first collegiate goal at Oklahoma
State in a 3-2 defeat.
Dolinsky was named to the
All-Big 12 First Team in addi-
tion to her regional accolades.
Dolinsky paced Kansas with nine
goals and 28 points, the fourth-
highest point total in team his-
tory. She also set a postseason
record with three assists in a 4-2
victory against Texas A&M in
the Big 12 Championship quar-
terfinals.
Seventeen of the 33 players
named to the All-Central Region
team came from the Big 12
Conference.

McCray honored with her
frst Player of Week award
Junior guard Danielle McCray
would have liked the Jayhawks
to win both games last week.
Still, individually McCray had an
impressive week on the court.
She was named Big 12 Womens
Basketball Player of the Week.
McCray averaged 21 points
and nine rebounds in Kansas
two games a victory against
San Jose State and a loss at
Marquette. The award is the frst
Player of the Week for McCray.
Through six games, McCray
leads the Jayhawks in points,
rebounds, steals and made
three-pointers.

GLENDALE, Ariz. This is all
so new to the Arizona Cardinals,
except for their quarterback.
Kurt Warner has gone far beyond
a mere division title yet he knows
Arizona's NFC West championship
was a long, long time coming.
Whats so special about this is
where we've come since Ive been
here, what this organization was
when I got here and the perception
of it and the work we had to do,
Warner said. Now is sweet.
Sweet it was for the Cardinals
on Sunday as the final seconds
ticked away in a 34-10 victory over
St. Louis that gave them their first
division championship in 33 years.
My coach was like, Act like
you've been there before, act like
you've been there before, defen-
sive tackle Darnell Dockett said.
I said, Coach, I ain't been there
before. I don't know how to act
right now.
Warner completed 24 of 33
passes for 279 yards against a Rams
team he once led to a Super Bowl
title. He reached 347 comple-
tions for the season, breaking the
Cardinals' record of 345 set by Neil
Lomax in 1984.
He's a leader, St. Louis defen-
sive end Leonard Little said. "He
knows how to win because he was
here winning with us for so long."
Long the league's doormat fran-
chise with just one winning season
in the last 24 years, the Cardinals
earned their first playoff berth since
1998 and first divisional title since
they won the NFC East in 1975.
As NFC West champions, the
Cardinals will host a playoff game
for the first time since, as the
Chicago Cardinals, they defeated
Philadelphia to win the NFL title
in 1947.
Its hard to put into perspective
what this means to people who
have been here for 20-some years,
working for this, that have laid
the groundwork for this, Arizona
coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
Arizonas defense scored both
of the teams second-half touch-
downs, including a team record-
tying 99-yard interception return
by rookie Dominique Rodgers-
Cromartie with 3:11 to play.
He looked like a blur,
Whisenhunt said.
Arizona (8-5) beat St. Louis
(2-11) for the fifth straight time and
extended the Rams losing streak to
seven games. After losses to the
New York Giants and Philadelphia
Eagles, the Cardinals improved to
5-0 against NFC West foes.
Michael Bidwill, the team's pres-
ident and son of longtime owner
Bill Bidwill, raised both fists in
triumph as he trotted off the field.
In the locker room, players donned
T-shirts and hats with NFC West
Champions emblazoned on them.
Bidwill said his father is very,
very happy. This is the first time
he's gotten a hat, you know. He
likes his hat a lot.
Even running back Edgerrin
James, who has asked to be traded
after being benched, said he felt
good for everyone involved.
Its unfortunate the situation
with myself, he said, but at the
end of the day you're happy for
the city of Phoenix, youre happy
for the fans, youre happy for the
Bidwills and (general manager)
Rod Graves.

NFC West championship

Former Kansas golfer Gary
Woodland has made it to the
big leagues.
With a 10th place finish in the
PGA Qualifying Tournament,
Woodland, a former Jayhawk,
earned his 2009 PGA Tour
Card. Players who place in the
top 25 in the tournament gain
membership to the tour for the
following season.
Its unbelievable. To make
the tour in his first tournament
is quite a feat, Kansas coach Kit
Grove said. To now get to play
with and be considered one of
the top 150 golfers in the world
is something.
Woodland came from 24
spots behind on Sunday in the
fifth round of the tournament
to tie for ninth place for the
tournaments final round.
Woodland had finished 20
strokes under par and recorded
31 birdies in six rounds.
Woodland last played for the
Jayhawks in 2007. His career
was highlighted by two invita-
tions to the NCAA Regional
tournament. Woodland also
had four victories and 10 other
top 10 finishes at Kansas.
Woodland, a Topeka native,
was also a three-time state
basketball player at Shawnee
Heights High School. Before
attending Kansas, Woodland
played one season at Washburn
as a guard and averaged six
points.

Freshman guard named
rookie of the week
The Big 12 Conference hon-
ored freshman guard Tyshawn
Taylor with the Phillips 66 Big
12 Rookie of the Week award
Monday.
Taylor started in all three of
Kansas games last week and
posted a career-high 23 points
in Wednesdays 100-79 victory
against New Mexico State. He
also recorded a career-high
11 assists in the 86-62 victory
against Jackson State Saturday.
For the week, Taylor averaged
15 points and fve assists. Over-
all this season, he is averaging
nearly 12 points and four assists.
It was the 13th time a
Jayhawk won the award. No
Kansas players, however, won
it last year. The last time came
on January 2006 when Brandon
Rush took home the honor.

By DAVE GOLDBERG
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A year ago, the Miami Dolphins
were the Detroit Lions, 0-13 and
seemingly headed for the first 0-16
season in NFL history. Twelve
months later, they are in posi-
tion to win the AFC East by win-
ning their remaining three games,
one of the more remarkable turn-
arounds ever.
No, the Dolphins didn't fin-
ish winless last season, beating
Baltimore 22-16 in overtime in
Week 15.
But even after Bill Parcells took
over the operations and brought in
Tony Sparano to coach the team,
no one expected an 8-5 record
this late in the schedule and a
three-way tie with the Patriots and
Jets. Another sign of how quickly
things can change: New England
was 13-0 at this point in 2007, yet
2008 could end with the Dolphins
in the playoffs and the Patriots
out.
There are extenuating circum-
stances.
One is the season-ending injury
to Tom Brady in the first quarter
of the season's first game, bringing
New England back to the pack in
both the division and in the AFC.
Another is the trade that brought
Brett Favre to the Jets, resulting
in the release of Chad Pennington
and his signing by the Dolphins,
giving Miami the professional
quarterback it lacked last season.
"The story does keep getting
better," safety Yeremiah Bell said
after Miami pulled into a first
place tie by beating Buffalo 16-3 in
Toronto on Sunday, while the Jets
were losing their second straight in
San Francisco. "This is something
that's definitely sweet, going from
one win to being in every game
this year and having a legitimate
chance to win. It's a great feeling."
Sunday's game was just another
example of how things have gone
so right for Miami this season.
Instead of playing in 1 degree
temperatures in Buffalo, the
Dolphins were indoors in Toronto's
Rogers Centre, where it was 68,
just the right atmosphere for a
team from South Florida. And a
good part of the crowd was on
their side.
"It wasn't clear who the home
team was, but that's nice for us,"
noted Ricky Williams.
Heres a look at the playoff pic-
ture.
AFC ReCAp
Tennessee (12-1) has clinched
the South and Denver (8-5) is
a win or a San Diego loss away
from clinching the West. Add the
two teams that lead the North,
Pittsburgh (10-3) and Baltimore
(9-4), plus Indianapolis (9-4) and
the winner of the East and there
are your six playoff teams.
The Steelers, who beat Baltimore
at home, can clinch the division if
they win Sunday in Baltimore. If
the Ravens win, that would be a
head-to-head split and most likely
5-1 division records for both.
That means the division
could be decided on their record
against common opponents,
which wouldn't be determined
until the season plays out. The
Ravens finish at Dallas, which
lost Sunday to the Steelers, and at
home to Jacksonville; Pittsburgh
is at Tennessee and at home to
Cleveland.
Indianapolis, which has won
six in a row, finishes against win-
less Detroit, Jacksonville (4-9)
and a Tennessee team almost sure
to have nothing to play for. That
should put the Colts in the playoffs
and make it the kind of wild-card
team that can do what the Steelers
did after the 2005 season and the
Giants managed last season.
The only other team with a
shot at a wild-card spot might be
New England (8-5) if it doesn't
win the East yet wins its final three
games while either Pittsburgh
or Baltimore stumbles. But the
Steelers beat the Patriots, so they
hold any tiebreaker, and the Ravens
are currently 7-3 in the AFC to 5-5
for New England, the applicable
tiebreaker at this point.
NFC ReCAp
The Giants (11-2) have clinched
the East and Arizona (8-5) finally
clinched the weak West after failing
twice against NFC East opponents:
New York and Philadelphia. That
doesn't bode well for the Cardinals'
chances in the playoffs, but just
winning a division is a huge step
forward; they hadn't done that
since they won the East while call-
ing St. Louis home 33 years ago.
Minnesota (8-5) holds a one-
game lead over Chicago (7-6) in the
North and Monday night's game in
Charlotte between Tampa Bay and
Carolina goes a long way toward
deciding the South. The Bucs won
the first meeting at home.
As with Pittsburgh and
Baltimore, the team that doesn't
win the South will lead for one
wild-card spot, although it's not a
sure thing because there are more
contenders in the NFC for those
two berths: add Dallas and Atlanta
(both 8-5); Philadelphia (7-5-1);
and perhaps even New Orleans
(7-6), although the Saints are a
long shot.
The Eagles, who are playing
well, are the sleeper here.
In their last two games, they've
beaten both division winners:
48-20 over the Cardinals and 20-14
at the Meadowlands. Moreover,
their schedule on paper is slightly
easier than the other contenders:
at home to Cleveland; at fading
and banged-up Washington; and at
home to Dallas the final week.
The ultimate irony is this: Say
the Eagles go into the final game
9-5-1 to 10-5 for the Cowboys with
the final playoff spot on the line. If
they win, there would be no tie-
breaker the difference would be
the tie they played with Cincinnati
last month.
That's the tie that Donovan
McNabb didn't know could be
played.
Dolphins fsh out a

NBA

INDIANAPOLIS Ray Allen
can still take over a game. In fact,
he's dominated several lately.
With the Boston Celtics riding
a 12-game winning streak, their
longest since 1986, Allen has gone on
perhaps his best scoring binge since
he joined the team last season.
In the past eight games, he's
averaged 24 points, shooting
59 percent from the field and 53
percent from 3-point range. His
latest outburst was a season-best
35-point effort in Boston's 122-117
overtime win over the Indiana
Pacers on Sunday.
"He's shooting the ball really
well," teammate Paul Pierce said.
"We're finding ways to get him the
ball, and we're making a conscious
effort because he's really shooting
lights out. It's good for us, and as
long as he keeps shooting the way
he does and we keep winning, we're
going to keep giving it to him."
In the only other NBA games
Sunday, it was: the Los Angeles
Lakers 105, Milwaukee 92; Portland
98, Toronto 97; and the New York
Knicks 104, Detroit 92.
Allen made five 3-pointers in
wins against Golden State and
Toronto last month, six at home
against Indiana on Wednesday and
seven against the Pacers on Sunday.
Allen averaged 17.4 points per
game last season, nearly four points
below his career average, but played
a key role in the Celtics' run to
the NBA title. Before last season,
he averaged at least 23 points
the previous four years with the
Seattle SuperSonics. Boston coach
Doc Rivers said Allen's success
this season is a product of greater
familiarity with the offense.
"He's just in a groove," Rivers said.
"He knows our system far better this
year than last year. There's a lot
more in it for him this year."
Allen came to the Celtics willing
to sacrifice some of his scoring
numbers for a title, but he's willing
to shoot more when called upon.
"I'm just the recipient right now,"
he said. "It definitely goes in cycles."
His scoring ability is unique for
a 33-year-old playing in his 13th
NBA season, but Allen feels like
he's in excellent shape. He's played
at least 37 minutes in the past five
games, and played 41 minutes on
Sunday.
Pacers forward Danny Granger
said Allen's age doesn't matter.
"Man, I don't care how old he
is, he's always going to be able to
shoot the ball," Granger said. "He's
a dead-eye shooter."
Allen proved that by making
one of the biggest shots in overtime
on Sunday. He curled around a
screen and made a 3 from beyond
the top of the key with the shot
clock winding down to give Boston
a 116-111 lead with 43 seconds
left.
Allen leads the Boston Celtics to their 12th straight victory
