Hunter Vore, Lawrence soph-
omore, usually parks in front of
Strong Hall or Bailey Hall after 5
p.m. each day for his Spanish class,
but now he will have to find a new
spot to park.
Beginning on Friday the parking
lots around Strong Hall, Bailey Hall
and the Facilities Operations build-
ing were closed to accommodate
the construction of a utility tunnel.
The lots will be closed until Aug. 1.
Don Steeples, vice provost for
scholarly support, said the new
tunnel would run from the north-
east corner of Strong Hall across
Mississippi Street and intersect with
tunnels installed last summer. The
new tunnel will carry steam and
data lines used for computers and
telephones around campus.
Steeples said the construction
needed to start now so that a major-
ity of the project would be done
before the fall semester.
Its going to take several months,
Steeples said. Its best to do it in the
summer.
Poplar Lane, a road behind
Strong Hall, will also be closed
during the construction. Steeples
said a temporary road, which
would run between Bailey Hall and
Strong Hall, would allow traffic to
flow behind Strong Hall and onto
Jayhawk Boulevard.
Donna Hultine, director of park-
ing and transit, said the only park-
ing spots that would be available
behind Strong Hall were under the
Spencer Research Librarys canopy.
Parking on Jayhawk Boulevard will
be turned into a designated load-
ing area for trucks unable to drive
under the canopy.
Hultine said there would also be
spots designated for handicapped
parking on Jayhawk Boulevard
to compensate for the spaces lost
behind Strong and Bailey.
We are definitely going to make
sure that we dont lose any of those
stalls, Hultine said. Whos really
going to hurt a little bit are gold per-
mit holders, so people who might
normally have found a regular gold
stall back there are not going to be
able to park there.
Michael Cherniss, professor of
English and gold permit holder, said
that he was glad to hear there would
be more handicapped parking in
front of Strong Hall, but that he was
still concerned there might not be
enough parking.
I see no way that closing that
area off of Jayhawk Boulevard, most
behind Bailey, is not going to create
parking problems, Cherniss said.
Cherniss teaches three times a
week at Wescoe Hall and said he
needed a parking stall close to cam-
pus because he couldnt walk long
distances.
Those of us who work up there
try to park as close as we can to
our buildings, Cherniss said. The
space behind Bailey serves Bailey,
Strong, Wescoe and probably some
other buildings as well.
Cherniss said he was concerned
because finding a spot to park was

The University is re-examining
its policy concerning parental noti-
fication following students alcohol-
related violations.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for
student success, said her department
had formed a work group to review
its interpretation of the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act,
or FERPA, after the death of Jason
Wren, a 19-year-old freshman from
Littleton, Colo. Wrens Department
of Student Housing contract was
terminated after repeated policy
violations. FERPA is the law that
sets guidelines on which student
records schools and universities can
release.
Wren was asked to leave Oliver
Hall about a week before his death
in Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 1301 West
Campus Road, March 8.
Wrens father has spoken out
against housing officials refusal to
release information at his request
about the type of infractions Jason
was accused of.
FERPA has several exceptions,
allowing universities to release stu-
dent records in cases of underage
drinking or if a student is deemed a
risk to themselves or others. The law
also allows universities to release
information to parents if students
are claimed as tax dependents.
The law allows, but does not
require, universities to release infor-
mation in these cases. Roney said it
would be easier to notify parents of
students with alcohol violations if
they were living on campus.
But for students who live off
campus, I have no idea how we
would be able to be aware of under-
age drinking or drug use and be able
to disclose that, Roney said.
By signing FERPA waivers, stu-
dents can allow parents access to as
much information as they choose.
Jay Wren, Jasons father, said his
son never completed such a waiver.
Students are offered the opportunity
to sign a waiver at new student ori-
entation and can fill them out in the
Bursars office at any time.
Jay Wren said he thought the
Universitys interpretation should be
changed to allow for more parental
notification.
Its a right the parents have,
Wren said.
Roney said administrators were

death
Preliminary autopsy
report released for Wren
The University Daily Kansan
has obtained a preliminary
autopsy report in the case of
Jason Wren.
The report is not conclusive,
but includes evidence that
suggests Wrens death was
linked to heavy drinking, as his
family has said.
Wren was a 19-year-old
Littleton, Colo., freshman, who
was found dead in Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, 1301 West Campus
Road, on March 8.
The preliminary urine drug
test was presumptively positive
for the presence of alcohol,
according to the report.
Biological samples have been
sent to labs in St. Louis for
conclusive results.
A report of this kind is
prepared directly after a coroner
completes an autopsy and is
given to detectives, said Jennifer
McCollum, medical investigator
at the coroners ofce.
During Wrens autopsy, the
examiner found no evidence of
a caf coronary, or a blockage
of the upper airway, no evidence
of heart disease and no gross
evidence of abnormality
in liver, spleen, kidney and
brain, according to the report.
McCollum said these were
standard tests for an autopsy
of this kind.
The examiner found
evidence of physical damage
to Wrens body that is
associated with alcohol and
drug overdoses, McCollum
said.
The cause and manner of
death are still pending. Wrens
death is not being treated as
a criminal investigation, the
Lawrence Police Department
has said.
The Douglas County
Coroners Ofce is expected
to release the fnalized report
in early June.

Nate Johnson and Brett Bricker
won first place at the National
Debate Tournament last Tuesday.
The Manhattan and Wichita
seniors, respectively, won for their
argument in favor of eliminating
grain subsidies. The University
Daily Kansan wanted to hear
their thoughts on another matter:
Will Sherron Collins stay or go?
Heres what they came up with.
Brett
Sherron Collins is the most
valuable player in the Big 12 and
one of the most fun players to
watch for the Jayhawks in the past
decade. If he were to return, of
course, the Jayhawks would be a
national championship contend-
er, and be the favorite to repeat
as Big 12 champs. Despite this,
I believe Sherron should declare
for the NBA draft for three rea-
sons:
First, money. A college diplo-
ma is good for your parents, but
for someone that has a family to
support and has been undoubt-
edly dreaming about the NBA
for well over a decade, it wont
have much utility for Sherron. If
he needs it, he can get one on the
road, but finishing in four years is
overrated anyway.
Second, draft predictions.
While leading the Jayhawks for
another year might help his draft
stock, it is questionable whether
it will help it enough to move him
into lottery-pick territory. This
years draft is one of the weakest
in recent memory and next year
he will most likely have to com-
pete with some amazing guard
talent: Xavier Henry, Dominic
Cheek and John Wall.
Third, hes not getting any tall-
er. An injury in his senior season,
combined with the ever-looming
(exaggerated) 511 height deficit
and he might be out of the draft
totally. Get the cash while you
can.
Nate
There is no doubt that Sherron
Collins is the best the Big 12 has
to offer. But that does not mean
now is the best time to leave.
Currently, Sherron is projected
to go near the end for the first
round or the beginning of the
second round of the NBA Draft.
Sherrons draft status is looking
a lot like Super Mario Chalmers
status after last years national
championship. Mario was drafted
34th overall by the Miami Heat
and is scheduled to make $2.5
million between this year and
the next two years. Certainly,
that is an awesome amount of
money, especially considering
the worlds economic woes. But
if Sherron could even marginally
improve his draft status, he might
make money more comparable to
Brandon Rush. Rush was selected
as the 13th overall pick in the
2008 NBA Draft and is scheduled
to make $3.7 million over the
next 2 years, and make $2 mil-
lion a year if the Indiana Pacers
pick up his option. With the dif-
ficulty of this years draft at the
guard position, including higher-
rated prospects such as Johnny
Flynn or Willie Warren, one more
year might become a shrewd eco-
nomic move. It certainly wouldnt
hurt to be drafted in the 2010
economy rather than in the 2009
one. I think that Sherron defi-
nitely has potential to improve
his game, with such additions as a
consistent mid-range jumper and
a more traditional point guard
passing skill set. Next years team
will allow Sherron to shine on a
team of potential superstars, pos-
sibly ending in his second nation-
al championship. One more year
and Sherron might become one of
the greatest Jayhawks in history.

NEW HAVEN, Vt. The black
salamander with yellow spots sat on
the roadside in the dark, ready to
make a go of it.
But it was not on its own. It got
help from an escort one of 45
people who volunteered on a recent
night to carry salamanders, frogs
and newts across the road during
their annual migration to mate.
On rainy nights in early spring,
roads between forests and vernal
pools are hopping and crawling
with activity. Hundreds of amphib-
ians cross small stretches of asphalt
to mate. But many dont make it.
From rural Vermont to urban
centers like Philadelphia, human
escorts, called bucket brigades in
some places, help amphibians make
it to their mating areas without
getting squashed by cars. Its part
education, part conservation, and
part science.
Its an extraordinary thing and
people deserve to know about it,
said Warren King, a member of the
Otter Creek Audubon Society, who
organizes a crossing in Salisbury.
And it needs to be protected. There
are sites where many of the critters
that are crossing never make it.
On a recent night, University of
Vermont student Kaitlin Friedman
walked with other volunteers along
the asphalt with flashlights and
clipboards, moving wood frogs,
peepers, blue-spotted, red-backed
and four-toed salamanders across
the road, while they jotted down
how many they saw.
They also kept count of vehi-
cles, and the amphibians that didnt
make it, trying to identify the flat-
tened carcasses.
Its pretty much the one time of
year where you get to see a lot of
salamanders in abundance and its
just really cool, said Friedman, 20,
of Long Island, New York. Plus,
you know you help them across
the road, you feel like maybe youre
making a small reduction in their
mortality rates, maybe, just for that
hour or so.
But some wonder why anyone
would go to such lengths.
The red-backed salamanders are
the most abundant backboned ani-
mal in the forest, said Jackson.
Even if we dont know what
would happen if they all died out
at once, we could imagine some
kind of ripple effect on the rest of
the ecosystem because they serve
as both predator and prey and are
probably very important in terms
of nutrient cycling in the forest
floor, he said.
For Parren, its preservation.
For me its more were losing
the national heritage that belongs
there, he said.

Madonna to appeal ruling
that prohibits adoption
LILONGWE, Malawi Madon-
na left Malawi on her private jet
Sunday after being rebufed in an
attempt to adopt a second child
from the poor African nation, air
trafc control ofcials said.
Police roadblocks prevented
reporters from approaching the
airport but one police ofcer
said Madonna carried David, her
adopted Malawian son, up the
steps of the Gulfstream jet.
It was bound for Londons
Gatwick Airport, air trafc of-
fcials said, speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity because they
were not authorized to speak to
journalists.
The singers lawyer has said
that she will appeal against
a court ruling that she is not
eligible to adopt a 3-year-old
orphan girl, Chifundo Mercy
James, because she hasnt lived in
Malawi.
Madonna frst spotted Mercy
during a 2006 visit to an orphan-
age where she found David. Then,
unlike now, she was able to leave
the country with the infant and
the adoption was completed last
year.
But now Madonna is a single
mother after her split from flm
director Guy Ritchie. Her attempts
to adopt a second child caused
outrage among some child wel-
fare groups.

McCartney, Starr perform together in New York

NEW YORK An all-star
concert on meditation brought
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr
together for their first performance
together in seven years.
The reunion of McCartney and
Starr, the surviving members of the
Beatles, was the highlight of the
Change Begins Within concert on
Saturday night. The event was held
at Radio City Music Hall to ben-
efit the David Lynch Foundation,
which aims to teach at-risk youth
meditation techniques.
Ladies and gentlemen, Billy
Shears, McCartney told the crowd,
referring to the fictional charac-
ter on the classic Beatles album
Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club
Band, as Starr emerged and imme-
diately launched into his part in the
Beatles classic With a Little Help
from My Friends.
McCartney and Starr last per-
formed together in 2002 at the
Concert for George, which honored
former Beatles George Harrison at
Londons Royal Albert Hall a year
after Harrisons death.
Saturdays concert, which also
featured Sheryl Crow, Eddie Vedder,
Donovan and others, ran for about
four hours. But McCartney had
thousands of fans on their feet as
he hit the stage near the shows end.
Opening with a spirited version of
Drive My Car, he went through a
generous selection of Beatles and
Wings classics, from Cant Buy Me
Love and Let It Be to Jet and
Band on the Run.

gay marriage advocates
should learn from
Iowa Supreme Court case
That the Iowa Supreme
Court afrmed a case
that challenged the
constitutionality of a gay-
marriage ban is no surprise to
those who can read the legal
and political tea leaves. What
is a surprise, however, is that it
was unanimous.
Although this is reason to
celebrate, the party may be
short. California is expected
to uphold Proposition 8, a
measure that amended the
California constitution to
imbed anti-gay sentiments
within it.
So what now?
The gay and lesbian rights
movement, it seems to me,
would do well to capitalize
on Iowa in two ways. First,
Iowa can serve as an example
of how public opinion can
be changed by political
mobilization. Second, the
decision provides fertile
grounds for templates for
future legal arguments.
To give gays and lesbians
equal rights under a diferent
name is not so diferent
from giving minorities
separate water fountains or
other facilities and saying
well, at least we gave them
something. Segregation
is segregation, period. But
unfortunately, we are at a
point where we have to fnd
ways to spread that message.
This is where Iowa becomes
important.
I am confdent that,
someday, a ban on gay
marriage will seem as silly as
a ban on interracial marriage.
Until then, the gay and lesbian
political coalition must take
its victories where it can get
them, and learn from them.
California is promising to
throw icy water on the warm
feelings in the wake of the
decision in Iowa. This doesnt
have to last, however, if gays
and lesbians fle this crucial
victory under the title lessons
learned, and use it to replicate
this success in the future.

I
n 2005, Chris Edwards of the
Cato Institute outlined policy
blunders that lengthened the
Great Depression. He included
policies such as increasing taxes,
blocking trade and controlling
prices. Many of the mistakes
Edwards blames for prolonging
the Depression were made in the
first 100 days of the FDR presi-
dency and in the first 100 days
of the Obama presidency, we are
repeating them.
The Obama administration,
like those of Hoover, FDR and
Bush, has chosen to employ fiscal
stimulus through deficit spend-
ing. Unemployment was high
through the 1940s despite Hoover
and FDRs stimulus efforts, and
Bushs modern attempt you
can judge for yourself. Obamas
charge for fiscal stimulus is
based on the belief that every
dollar Obama spends will put
about $1.50 into the economy,
according to an article in the
Wall Street Journal. But stud-
ies of this type of policy by the
International Monetary Fund and
the Universit Bocconi concluded
that results like this would be
unlikely. Based on these two stud-
ies, every dollar Obama spends
will boost the economy by less
than $1.
Obama, like Hoover with his
Revenue Act of 1932 and FDR
with the Revenue Act of 1936,
will kill incentive for invest-
ment by raising taxes. Obama is
looking to raise corporate taxes,
increase the capital gains tax and
start cap-and-trade carbon per-
mits, among other clever ways to
pay for his endeavors. This would
all be wonderful if the costs of
spending were really borne by
polluters and evil corpora-
tions. But the costs will be paid
by real people. Your dads ailing
portfolio will decline as corpora-
tions struggle to maintain a profit
because of higher taxes. Worse,
he may lose his job because its
cheaper to make soap in London
and ship it all the way to Mexico
than to pay high corporate taxes
in the U.S. Energy prices will
go up because of cap-and-trade;
poor families will be hurt the
most because a larger percent of
their income is spent on energy.
This cap-and-trade program
is similar to the Smoot-Hawley
Act of 1929. Smoot-Hawley
increased tariffs by 60 percent,
causing foreign governments to
return the favor, and world trade
plummeted by two-thirds. Steve
Chu, Obamas energy secretary,
recently said he supported rais-
ing tariffs on countries that dont
institute cap-and-trade.
A study by UCLA economists
Cole and Ohanian concluded that
FDRs National Industry Recovery
Act, or NIRA, extended the
Depression into the late 1930s.
The study showed the NIRA kept
prices and wages high, which
lowered the demand for goods
and labor. Helping the NIRA
raise unemployment was the
Davis-Bacon Act, which requires
that government contracts pay
prevailing wages; this in effect
raises the market wage and again
lowers demand for labor. We
are not headed towards another
disastrous NIRA but the mini-
mum wage is being raised and all
the stimulus package pet projects
will be under Davis-Bacon rules.
Figuring out how to fix the
mess were in isnt going to be
easy, so wouldnt it be a good idea
to start by taking a look at how
we screwed up in the past and not
repeat those mistakes?

Death penalty takes moral,
monetary toll on taxpayers
By gavin mathis
Washington State U.
Daily Evergreen
N
ew Mexico Gov. Bill
Richardson signed
legislation last month
abolishing the use of the death
penalty, making New Mexico
the 15th state to prohibit capital
punishment since the Supreme
Court reinstated the penalty.
Recognizing that more than
130 death row inmates were
exonerated in the past decade,
Richardson made a civilizing
leap in the movement to abol-
ish one of the most heinous
usurpations of political power
in America.
Capital punishment is not
only a judicial decree, but a
political manifestation of power.
Besides the primary victim (the
executed prisoner), capital pun-
ishment aims to ensure obedi-
ence within a secondary victim
(the general populace).
By imitating the same barbar-
ic acts of violence that it hopes
to curtail, states are ignoring
that the punishment has no
place in a penal system where
less severe sentences, such
as life without parole, could
achieve a just end.
A handful of other states,
including Montana, Maryland
and Colorado, are also delib-
erating changes to their capital
punishment statutes, indicating
a tidal shift against the death
penalty. Each measure is fac-
ing stiff resistance from victim
advocacy groups who believe
capital punishment saves the
state money and acts as a deter-
rent to future crimes.
The first assertion is not only
incorrect, its application in
capital punishment is errone-
ous. According to a 2008 study
in Maryland, condemning a
man to death costs the state
$1.9 million more than sentenc-
ing him to life imprisonment
because the costs of the lengthy
appeals process far exceed the
price of housing and feeding
the prisoner. Besides being
flagrantly untrue, assigning a
value to an individual is essen-
tially an attempt to demoralize
the subject. There is no reason
for Americans to be ensnared
by a punishment that is ripped
from the Code of Hammurabi.
If an eye for an eye is the most
reasonable outcome the govern-
ment can offer the victims of
violent crime, then the state has
failed.
Another death penalty fal-
lacy states the punishment
serves as a deterrent. If capital
punishment was a deterrent,
then Texas would be a magical
utopia.
State governments serve
many primary functions: the
provision of public health, the
regulation of intrastate com-
merce and the issuance of
licenses. Murder is not one of
them. Capital punishment is the
ultimate premeditated murder,
and taxpayers are blind accom-
plices in the states physical con-
frontation with the condemned.
Justice in America is not
blind. Americans may abide by
the rule of law, but those laws
are written by flawed humans.
The impending sense of mortal-
ity that grips the condemned
man as he walks the green mile
is the same feeling experienced
by his victim. Looking beyond
the prison bars and finding the
human story of the condemned
is the first step in overcoming
mankinds primitive need for
revenge.
Vengeance is easy, but justice
is difficult.

Students have the opportunity to
help other students by playing vol-
leyball in the mud, but only until
Wednesday when registration for
Hawk Mud Fest 09 ends.
The event is sponsored by
Students for KU, and is being held
to raise funds for a new scholarship
dedicated to exceptional student
leaders.
Students for KU is the student
philanthropy committee for the
Kansas University Endowment
Association, and was created to
increase student awareness about
alumni and donor support. Mud
Fest 09 was intended to encourage
students to start giving back to the
University.
The mud volleyball tourna-
ment is the first of its kind, said
Sarah Phillips, assistant director of
annual giving for the Endowment
Association. All funds collected
from registration fees will be put
into a new scholarship for Fall 2009
to recognize student leaders who
have significantly given back to the
University. Phillips said the amount
given and number of recipients
would be determined by how many
teams signed up to play.
The importance of donations
struck Kathleen Armistad, St.
Louis sophomore, this year when
her scholarship from the School of
Engineering was delayed because
a donor couldnt provide the
expected funds. Armistad said stu-
dents didnt understand the role
the economy played when students
relied on alumni and outside dona-
tions.
There are so many students
from so many financial back-
grounds, and especially right now
its important to realize how much
scholarships can help, Armistad
said.
Laura Wolfe, Lenexa senior and
member of Students for KU, said
she thought it was important for
students to understand how much
the University depended on donor
support for scholarships and cam-
pus upkeep. Wolfe said reliance
was one reason students should
get in the habit of giving back, and
she liked the idea of being able to
contribute in a small way by par-
ticipating in events that raise funds
for more scholarships.
Its a cool thought to know
students can help other students,
Wolfe said.
During the 2008 fiscal year, the
KU Office of Institutional Research
and Planning reported that the
Endowment Association gave
more than $19 million to students
through loans, grants and schol-
arships. Endowment scholarships
accounted for 24.5 percent of all
scholarships and grants given to
students at the Lawrence campus,
athletic scholarships were the next
highest, accounting for about 13
percent of the total.

Jayhawks who are passionate
about their alma mater could
consider applying to work as
an admissions counselor for
the University. The Office of
Admissions and Scholarships is
currently hiring for the one open
admissions counselor position.
Ten alumni of the University
work day in and day out to pro-
mote the University to prospec-
tive undergraduate students all
across Kansas and in eight other
states across the country. These
admissions counselors make their
living representing the University,
said Heidi Simon, associate direc-
tor of the Office of Admissions
and Scholarships.
Admissions counselors are
the face of the University and,
in many cases, are perceived as
the University, Simon said. To
many people they are KU they
are the athletics teams, they are
the debate team, they are the
pre-med program, they are hous-
ing, they are the chancellor, they
are the greek system, they are
Lawrence.
Even before Nick Lush began
working as an admissions coun-
selor last August, he had already
recruited students to come to the
University.
Lush, Sacramento, Calif., 2008
graduate, recruited his younger
brother and five friends from
California to attend the University
long before he was paid to do it.
He now calls himself and the
other admissions counselors
brand representatives of the
University.
Were the people that pro-
spective students, families and
counselors go to for information
about KU, Lush said. We are the
first contact for them.
Something that admissions
counselors call the KU differ-
ence sells the University, said
Elisa Krapcha, senior admissions
counselor and Littleton, Colo.,
2005 graduate.
The KU difference is when a
student comes to KU, they can
find exactly what theyre look-
ing for and also be challenged
to find and do things they never
thought they could do, Krapcha
said. Its a place where you have
opportunities in an amazing city
surrounded by amazing people.
That just makes KU second to
none in the country.
Duties of admissions counsel-
ors include presenting to large
or small groups, meeting with
families, or counseling over the
phone or e-mail, which vary day
to day. Admissions counselors
work junior days and senior days
when they are in Lawrence and
not traveling across Kansas or
out of state.
If we didnt have admissions
counselors going out and visit-
ing high schools, some people
wouldnt even know what KU is
all about, Krapcha said.
Admissions counselors are
dedicated, passionate, creative,
and enthusiastic, Simon said. She
called working with the admis-
sions counselors the absolute best
part of her job.
They are the most fun group
of people to work with, Simon
said.
The application is available at
jobs.ku.edu until April 22.
Its the best job anyone can
have on campus, maybe besides
Bill Self s job, Krapcha said.

constantly interpreting FERPA and
applying it to the University.
Theres a policy review pro-
cess at the University, and typically
everything has been signed off by
the chancellor, Roney said.
Roney said it was difficult balanc-
ing students privacy with parents
need to know.
I dont want to make it sound
like we are trying to set up a situa-
tion where students can hide behind
the University because that certainly
is not what we want to do, Roney
said.
On the other hand, when stu-
dents enroll at the University of
Kansas, it is certainly my expecta-
tion that students are responsible
adults and that they are able to make
good decisions.
Different universities interpret
the law differently. Kansas State
University contacts parents in cases
of underage drinking on campus
upon a second violation.
After the first infraction, students
are put through an on-campus
counselling program, paid for by
K-State. If a student is caught a
second time, the Office of Student
Life, which also includes the campus
police, sends a letter to the students
parents. The letter details the cir-
cumstances of the infraction and
the resources available for dealing
with alcohol.
Heather Reed, assistant dean and
director of student life at K-State,
said her office complied with FERPA
but took a different approach than
the Universitys, because she said
notifying students parents helped
them in the long run.
We dont want it to be punitive
for students, we just want them to
get the help they need, Reed said.
We feel that requires getting the
parents involved.
Reed said she stood behind
K-States FERPA interpretation as
being effective for students and
parents. Reed said she could not
remember a student reaching a
third infraction in her four years
at K-State.
K-State students can opt out of
parental notification by request.
K-State, unlike the University of
Kansas, allows those of age to con-
sume beer on campus.
Roney said the work group would
examine possible repercussions of a
more forthcoming policy.
Nine times out of 10, theres no
apparent harm in releasing that
information, but we listen carefully
to try to figure out if it is in your best
interest as a student to release that
information, Roney said.
Roney said the group consisted
of University administrators and
would eventually seek student rep-
resentation. Roney said it would
look at possible amendments to the
policy, but acknowledged a bigger
issue of underage drinking in gen-
eral.
My sense is sadly, we have a lot
of KU students who drink under-
age, Roney said.

already difficult at times.
Fewer spaces means more
competition for whatever spaces
remain, Cherniss said. They
tell you every year that there
are more permits than there are
parking spaces for the permits.
Hultine said those who lost
their spot behind Bailey Hall
or Strong Hall could park in
the garage on Mississippi Street.
Dilawar Grewal, director of
information services and a gold
permit holder, said parking at
the garage wouldnt be a prob-
lem for him because it would be
nice outside.
Rachel Wuntch, Dallas junior,
said she thought the construc-
tion would cause problems only
during finals.
Right now it wont be that
much of an issue, Wuntch said.
When it comes to finals week,
when Im at the library every
day, it will be very difficult.
Vore said he would make
alternative plans to deal with the
construction.
Ill just have to leave a little
earlier, and walk a little further,
Vore said. Assuming Memorial
Drive doesnt get too crowded.

NATIONAL
Mount redoubt an uncertainty for alaskans
MARY PEMBERTON
Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska Mount
Redoubt is getting under the skin of
Alaska, and its not just the irrita-
tion caused by volcanic ash.
For residents of Alaskas largest
city, living near an active volcano
means sometimes wearing air-fil-
tration masks and stretching panty
hose over the air intake of cars and
trucks.
The volcano also brings daily
uncertainty about whether it will
blow and, if it does, where the ash
will go.
I would like it to have a big
boom and get it over with, said
Brad Sandison, a retired truck driv-
er and avid cyclist who carries a
face mask and goggles whenever he
rides just in case the volcano starts
spewing ash.
The mountain 100 miles south-
west of Anchorage tends to erupt
every decade or so and belch ash for
months. Geologists have recorded
at least 19 eruptions since March
22, including one on Saturday.
So far, Mount Redoubts almost
daily ash clouds have canceled
hundreds of airline flights, reduced
the number of shipments flowing
through a huge FedEx cargo facility
and cut shipments of fresh Alaskan
seafood.
People with breathing problems
also face health risks.
Respiratory patients should avoid
being outdoors when the ash is fall-
ing, said Dr. Teresa Neeno of the
Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
Center of Alaska. Those who must
be outside should wear a mask.
Lin Walters of Nikiski makes
sure her 81-year-old mother, who
has severe asthma, is wearing a face
mask whenever the volcano erupts.
When the volcano blows, she
has to put on her mask because
we dont know which way the ash
is falling, Walters said. She has a
whole box of them sitting beside
her recliner.
The last time Redoubt erupt-
ed was late 1989 and early 1990.
Eruptions went on for four months.
One ash cloud undetected by radar
knocked out all four engines of a
jetliner, which descended 13,000
feet before its engines could be
restarted. The plane landed safely.
Seismologists at the Alaska
Volcano Observatory do not expect
the volcano to erupt violently. It
usually burps ash and gas as molten
rock forms a dome in the mountain
that eventually collapses, resulting
in eruptions. Then the process
begins again.
Scientists have no way to predict
when the volcano will erupt and
what direction the wind will be
blowing when it does.
However, researchers at the
Alaska Volcano Observatory have
come up with a volcanic ash track-
ing model that is updated online
every three hours. Users can click
on the height of the ash plume and
then view a model of where the ash
cloud is likely to go in one-hour
increments.
The National Weather Service
also issues ash advisories in much
the same way as it does with storms
and floods.
Since the latest eruptions began,
Alaska Airlines has canceled 300
flights, affecting an estimated
20,000 passengers.
Joe Tacker of Monterey, Calif.,
was trying to get to Anchorage last
weekend to help judge a two-day
dog show. Then Redoubt blew sev-
eral times.
After two other flights were can-
celed, Tacker got on a third flight
out of San Jose. While waiting for
takeoff he checked his cell phone
messages one last time. With a
flight attendant pressuring him to
put his phone away, he clicked on
the last message. It informed him
that the dog show had been can-
celed because of the volcano.
I told the stewardess Stand
back, and I got up and grabbed my
stuff from out of the top and took
off down the aisle, Tacker said.
You make a real effort to get to
Alaska for the dog shows because
everyone is so nice up there,
Tacker said. Also, you want to get
some good fish.
As far as fish, Tacker probably
would have been disappointed,
especially if he wanted to ship some
home.
When the volcano forced a
20-hour shutdown last weekend of
the Anchorage airport, the ship-
ping system became clogged with
delayed cargo.
It kind of created a domino
effect with all the cargo stations
around the state and in Seattle and
Portland, said Dannon Southall,
wholesale salesman for 10th and M
Seafoods in Anchorage. The wind
shifts every day.
Because thousands of displaced
passengers were bumped from can-
celed flights, airlines have less space
for boxes of crab, salmon, cod and
halibut. That cargo space is now
taken up with luggage that needs to
be returned to its owners, Southall
said.
The volcano calmed down
for much of last week, but then
produced another large eruption
Saturday. Radar indicated a plume
of volcanic ash rose 50,000 feet into
the sky, making it one of the largest
eruptions since the volcano became
active on March 22, the weather
service said.
The second you get that false
sense of security, it is going to
go boom, Southall said before
Saturdays burst.
Instead of moving cargo through
Anchorage, FedEx is diverting most
cargo through its hub in Oakland,
Calif., with one or two flights also
going to Seattle.
Normally, the company operates
21 flights in and out of Anchorage
each day. That has been reduced
to three, spokeswoman Sally
Davenport said.
In an effort to shield their
engines from volcanic ash, some
motorists place pantyhose over the
air intake. But ever since a layer of
ash descended on Nikiski, 60 miles
southwest of Anchorage, Dan Ward
has had a steady stream of custom-
ers complaining about car trouble.
A look under the hood usually
solves the mystery: They placed the
panty hose in the wrong place.
Just get a good quality air filter
and keep one in the car and change
it every so often, said Ward, owner
of Dans Automotive.
Wayne Kvasnikoff, plant man-
ager for the Seattle-based Ocean
Beauty Seafoods fish-processing
plant in Nikiski, is glad the plant
is closed this time of year. The ash
that coated the town in gray last
Saturday will still be there when
the plant reopens for the summer
salmon season.
The ash will require a rigorous
spring cleanup, he said.
We will do it the same way they
have in the past, with large water
hoses, Kvasnikoff said. We will
wash it out.
associateD press
an eruption plume rises above Mount Redoubt volcano, 50 miles across Cook Inlet fromKenai, Alaska, on Saturday. The 10,197-foot mountain
had another explosive eruption at 6 a.m. and has continued to emit ash and steamthroughout the day, according to the Alaska Volcano Observa-
tory.

Early last semester, I began having problems with my car. It was making funny noises and
the cruise control stopped working. I didn't know what to do. Normally my dad handled these
things for me, but being an out-of-state student made that impossible now that I'm in college.
I had heard about Don's Auto from some friends and through the Kansan, so I decided to
give them a call. I'm so glad I did! They were great! They were very nice and super under-
standing.
What impressed me most, was that they offered to call my dad and consult with him every
step of the way. Now, I always take my car to Don's!

InternatIonal
BY BETSY CUTCLIFF and
daVId UGaRTE
bcutclif@kansan.com and
dugarte@kansan.com
From halfway around the world,
students at the University of
Kansas discussed political issues
face-to-face with students at the
University of Baghdad on Sunday.
A two-part presentation called
Iraq: What
next? brought to
light the different
perspectives on
the Middle East.
The panel
brought journal-
ism and politi-
cal science stu-
dents from the
University of
Kansas, Kansas
State University, Northwest
Missouri State University and
Wichita State University together
with their Iraqi counterparts from
Baghdad University via a live,
Internet-fed video conference.
The second part of the presenta-
tion was an interview with offi-
cials from the military, the gov-
ernment of Iraq, the U.S. embassy
and the U.S. multi-national force
in Iraq, in which the officials dis-
cussed how the conflict in Iraq
has changed and improved since
it began. Bill Lacy, director of
The Dole Institute, interviewed
the officials about the security and
economic development in Iraq
and audience members asked the
officials in Iraq questions.
The main themes of the confer-
ence centered on cultural differ-
ences in the media and speculation
on what the democratic future for
Iraq held.
Kyle Carter, Lawrence senior
and panelist, said his biggest sur-
prise during the conference was
how different the two countries
media cultures seemed.
The nature of their questions
and responses showed theres this
huge gap in the way we perceive
media and the way we conduct
ourselves in the media, Carter
said.
One difference highlighted was
the American medias role as a gov-
ernment watchdog versus Saddam
Husseins loss of total control and
censorship of the media.
Lamis Munir George, journal-
ism senior at Baghdad University,
said that although Iraqi media had
been privatized after
the fall of Husseins
regime in 2003, fac-
tions of each media
outlet were still con-
trolled by political
groups. Baghdad stu-
dents questioned the
American states role
in news coverage and
governmental sup-
port, and asked how
various news organizations stayed
objective.
Abed Al-Salam Ahmed, dean of
the Baghdad Media College, said
many Iraqis didnt grasp the con-
cept of media not being influenced
by a political group, which was one
thing he hoped
would change in
the coming years.
There is an
opinion that free-
dom of expres-
sion in the U.S.
is a phantom,
Ahmed said.
Students from
both ends of the
conference theo-
rized about the
future of democracy and freedom
in Iraq, and discussed how far the
countrys media had come since
the fall of the regime.
Suzie Gilbert, broadcast
and political science junior
from Northwest Missouri State
University, emphasized the impor-
tance of the freedom of the press
and how it would play a role in
establishing democracy.
If we feel like our government
isnt doing what we elected them
to do, we are free to share our
opinions about what we want to
change, Gilbert said.
The importance of media in
democracy wasnt the only theme
in the discussion about the coun-
trys democratic future.
The spokesmen for the military
and government of Iraq discussed
civilians improved quality of life.
The officials said the security in
the country had improved, allow-
ing the people greater freedom of
movement, confidence and hope
for the future. They also said
the security forces still needed
the support of the multi-national
forces present in Iraq.
The spokeswoman for the U.S.
embassy also discussed Iraqs
economic development, includ-
ing plans for Iraqi students to
come to the U.S. to learn techni-
cal skills they would use to help
develop Iraq.
The video conference provided
live feedback that had never been
attempted at the University of
Kansas. The conference was held
at 8 a.m. CDT because of the eve-
ning curfew placed
on Baghdad citizens.
Other technical dif-
ficulties included
gaining access to
the U.S. embassy in
Baghdad and coor-
dinating times and
equipment.
Preparation for
this event began
last December, and
Tom Volek, associ-
ate dean for graduate studies and
faculty development, said he was
thrilled with how the day turned
out.
The fact that you have stu-
dents sitting here talking to their
counterparts halfway across
the world is a big step, Volek
said. We bridged the gap this
morning, between Iraq and the
Midwest.

Saturdays WNIT final at
Allen Fieldhouse a 75-71
loss to South Florida offered
16,113 reasons why this team (and
sport) is capable of drawing its
own spotlight. At the birthplace
of basketball, Kansas fans dont
discriminate when quality hoops
are available.
It was a seismic shift from a few
months ago, the worst month-long
stretch of the season. Kansas went
1-8 in Big 12 play from Jan. 17 to
Feb. 18.
The team hadnt won more
than 17 games and had struggled
mightily in its conference during
coach Bonnie Henricksons regime.

The Jayhawks watch dejectedly fromthe bench after the conclusion of Saturday's WNIT Championship game against the Univeristy of South Florida. The Bulls defeated the Jayhawks 75-71. Said junior guard Sade Morris, "We felt like crap and we were just sitting there. We still feel like crap."
By Jayson JenKs

Right then right after Kansas
remarkable late-season turnaround
ended with a disappointing 75-71
loss to South Florida in the WNIT
championship junior guard
Sade Morris still hurt.
Forget the games record-setting
crowd, the string of victories to
even reach this point and forget
Kansas ferocious comeback
attempt that closed
South Floridas
double-digit lead
to one in the final
minutes.
In a somber
locker room,
Morris and the
Jayhawks sat
in silence with
watering eyes, the
sting from the loss
still fresh.
I mean, we just lost a
championship game, Morris said.
We felt like crap and we were just
sitting there.
We still feel like
crap.
Kansas season
ended with players
sitting on the bench,
heads buried in hands
or jerseys as South
Florida celebrated in
a suddenly hushed
Allen Fieldhouse.
Moments before,
though, the Jayhawks
appeared poised to cap off their
season with a late-game comeback
that sliced the Bulls lead from 12
to one with 2:22 left. As Kansas
inched closer, the crowd and sense
of a WNIT championship seemed
to grow louder.
But Kansas never grasped
the lead, leaving coach Bonnie
Henrickson to console a
thoroughly disappointed group in
the locker room.
Its just so tough because we
made that comeback at the end of
the season and then we made one
the last four or five minutes of the
game, senior guard Ivana Catic
said. It just makes it that much
tougher to deal with everything.
The reasons the Jayhawks
reached this point, the aspects of
their game that led them to the
championship game in the first
place, vanquished against South
Florida.
The Jayhawks shooting
appeared spotty at best, making
an uncharacteristically low 38
percent of their attempts, while
missing handfuls of routine open
looks.
Thats as bad as weve shot in a
long time, Henrickson said.
But that statistic alone didnt
doom the Jayhawks.

Saturday afternoon against Baylor, driving in three RBI and scoring one run in a 6-0 victory
against the Bears. Kansas lost to the Bears 21-9 on Sunday.
By Josh BoWe
jbowe@kansan.com

Baylor shortstop Shaver Hansen
crushed his third home run of the
game to dead center in the top
of the eighth inning, putting the
Bears up 8-1.
Unfortunately for Kansas,
that wasnt the game score. The
Jayhawks probably would have
settled for that score.
Instead that was the home run
count as the Bears decided to have
their own home run derby inside
Hoglund Ballpark Sunday. Kansas
lost the game with an even more
lopsided score: 21-9.
We just couldnt stop them
from scoring, coach Ritch Price
said. The difference in the game
was we hit one home run and they
hit eight home runs.
It was the Jayhawks biggest loss
since 2002. The winter mix of rain,
snow and high winds contributed
to the power displayed by Baylor.
At times it seemed as though
any ball popped up and hit into
the air would clear the fence.
Obviously if you hit a ball in
the air you had a home run today
with the way the conditions were,
Price said. But at the same time
we were behind in the count on
almost every single hitter.
No Jayhawk pitcher was
immune to the scoring barrage.
The only pitcher not to give up a
run was freshman Kelson Boyer,
and he only pitched the last third
of the ninth. The eight home runs
were the most given up by Kansas
since it played Oklahoma State
in 2006.
Sophomore third baseman Tony
Thompson said the only thing to
tell pitchers after a game like that
was to stay positive.
Tell them to stick with it and
keep throwing strikes, Thompson
said. "But today the conditions
were pretty hard to play in."
Freshman starter Lee Ridenhour
played the fewest innings of any of
his starts this season. In three
innings he allowed seven hits and
a career-high six earned runs. But
Price isnt ready to lash out against
his pitching staff after one game.
After all it's the pitching that
has allowed Kansas to be one of
the most surprising teams in the
Big 12 this season.
One of the things I let every-
body know is that our pitching has
been fabulous, Price said.
At least for the offense on
Sunday, hitting wasnt a problem.
Nine runs on 14 hits is usually
enough for most teams to win.
But down the stretch the
Jayhawk lineup couldn't keep up.
Kansas failed to score in the last
three innings while Baylor scored
10 in those innings.
I didnt think we were going
to have to score 22 runs to
win, freshman shortstop James
Stanfield said. But thats just how
it happened."
This was especially evident
after Baylor scored five runs in
the top of the sixth to extend its
lead to 11-6. Kansas immediately
responded with a three-run home
run by Thompson in the bottom
of the sixth to cut the lead to two.
Three home runs later in the top
of the seventh saw Baylor up 16-9.
The Bears sophomore reliever
Craig Fritsch came into the game
and shut out the Jayhawks for the
rest of the day.
"He came in and basically dom-
inated us, Price said.
After Price got on to some of
his seniors after some close games
earlier this week, he wasnt ready
to bark negatives at his players
after this game. Mainly he said this
game should be forgotten.
"All you can do is flush that,"
Price said. I think theres no sense
in beating your players up or say-
ing something that would embar-
rass yourself later."

E
verything was perfect in
Allen Fieldhouse Saturday
afternoon. Except for the
outcome. A boisterous crowd
of 16,113 packed the Phog and
Kansas, after falling down by 12
late in the game, stormed back
to bring everyone to their feet. It
was the perfect setting, especially
for those who have been to more
than one womens basketball
game. Last season the only time
you could truly feel the excitement
of the arena was for a Sunday
afternoon game against Nebraska,
which drew 6,122. Saturdays loss
was 50 times better.
The environment affected
South Florida. For better or worse
is debatable, but the Bulls took
notice.
As Kansas band played
brought pregame to a close with
its traditional buzzer-beating fan-
fare, the Bulls danced along.
As the players stepped out for
the opening tipoff, the speakers
were blaring and the student sec-
tion (finally, an actual student
section at a womens game) leapt
in unison. South Floridas Jasmine
Wynne looked to teammate
Shantia Grace and mouthed, I
cant hear myself think.
In the postgame press confer-
ence, Bulls coach Jose Fernandez
said he felt the same way when
Kansas pulled within 67-66 with
2:22 to play.
Bonnie Ball
didnt win, and
that sucks. But
Im grateful
a basketball-
crazy place
like Lawrence
showed it
awards hard
work.
Optimists will tell you this
postseason run and the excite-
ment around Kansas womens
basketball program will build into
a NCAA tournament bid next
season.
With the core of this team return-
ing, thats very likely to happen.
But Im no optimist, so lets wait
and see on that.
Besides, this game and this sea-
son were too special to put in the
rearview mirror just yet.
OPENING DAY
The Atlanta Braves and
Philadelphia Phillies began the
season with Opening Night
Sunday evening, but for every
other team the season starts today.
Major League Baseball and all
of its glory have returned, and to
celebrate here are a few early sea-
son tidbits:
Whos going to pitch in
Anaheim? The Angels top three
arms Ervin Santana, John
Lackey and Kelvim Escobar
are all on the 15-day disabled
list. With those guys healthy,
LAAACUSA (Los Angeles Angels
of Anaheim of California of the
United States of America) is the
clear favorite in the AL West
and a World Series contender.
Without those arms, the Angels
are a Vladimir Guerrero injury
away from being a sub-.500 team.
Delusional Royals fans wont
stop telling me to watch out
for Kansas City this year. Zach
Greinke is a frontline starter and
the AL Central is wide open, but
this team is just another disap-
pointment waiting to happen. Still,
Im curious to see how hot-hitting
prospect Mike Aviles handles
expectations. If he can still hit
over .300 and
quit striking
out so much,
then maybe
the Royals still
have hope.
A tip for
fantasy nerds
like myself,
keep an eye
on Josh Fields
(CHW) and David Freese (STL).
Both are young third basemen
with a lot of upside, including pro-
digious power numbers. Fields is
finally the man in Chicago thanks
to Joe Credes departure and
Freese should get the start until
Troy Glaus returns from injury.

Gordon ends his longest losing streak
STEPHEN HAWKINS
Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas Jeff
Gordon ended the longest win-
less drought of his career, beating
Hendrick Motorsports teammate
Jimmie Johnson to finally win at
Texas.
Gordon won for the first
time in 48 races Sunday at the
1-mile, high-banked Texas
Motor Speedway, one of only two
active tracks where the four-time
NASCAR Sprint Cup champion
had never won a race.
It was the 17th Cup race at
Texas, the track where Gordon
has the only two last-place finishes
in his 552 career starts. One of
the 43rd-place finishes came last
spring before he was the runner-
up to Carl Edwards in the fall race
after winning the pole.
How ironic is this that when
we go into this streak and we end
it here in Texas, a place thats just
eluded us for so long, Gordon
said. Incredible team effort. This
whole year has been amazing.
What a great car. Ive never had
a car like this at Texas. We finally
had one and put it in position.
Gordon, already the season
points leader with four top-five
finishes in the first six races, did
a few burnouts on the frontstretch
before grabbing the checkered flag
and taking his No. 24 Chevrolet for
a long-awaited victory lap his
first since October 2007 at Lowes
Motor Speedway in Charlotte.
The only track he now hasnt
won at is Homestead. Hell have
to wait until the season finale in
November for a chance to change
that.
During interviews in Victory
Lane at Texas, before firing the
celebratory six-shooters, Gordon
had to sneak a peek at the logos
on his car to remind himself of
everybody he needed to thank. It
had been a long time, especially by
his standards.
Rick Hendrick wasnt there, so
Gordon tried to talked to him
by cell phone from Victory Lane.
Also missing were his wife and
daughter.
Im just thrilled. I cant wait
to get home to Ingrid and Ella,
Gordon said. I know (Ella) was
saying Go poppy go all day long. I
hate that they couldnt come.

No. 3 recruit Xavier Henry
may commit to Jayhawks
As the recruiting saga con-
tinues, Kansas appears to be
closer than ever to signing its top
prospect.
Carl Henry, former Jayhawk and
father of Oklahoma City shooting
guard Xavier Henry, told Rivals.com
this weekend that Xavier wanted
to commit to Kansas.
If only it were that simple.
Xavier, the No. 3 player in the
nation according to Rivals.com, is
still waiting for a key issue to be
resolved. The issue is his brothers,
C.J. Henry, status for next season.
C.J., who originally committed
to Kansas in 2004 before being
drafted by the New York Yankees
and playing minor league base-
ball, was a walk-on at Memphis
this season. But he didnt play and
took a redshirt after undergoing
foot surgery.
C.J. and Xavier want to play
together. Under NCAA rules,
however, C.J. would have to sit out
next season if he transferred to
Kansas.
The Henry family is currently
fling an appeal to the NCAA to
allow C.J. to play next season. If it
is granted, both Xavier and C.J. will
most likely announce their inten-
tions to attend Kansas.
If not, it is possible that both
could stay at Memphis with its
new coach. Its also possible that
Xavier could opt to come to Kan-
sas and leave C.J. behind.

Junior shortstop David
Narodowski was the only Jayhawk
to start in every one of the teams
first 28 games. That streak finally
snapped Saturday when Narodowski
had to sit with an unspecified ankle
injury sustained in Friday nights
game.
Enter freshman James Stanfield.
A two-time state champion pro-
gram in high school, had started only
two games entering the weekend,
both at second with Narodowski at
short. His limited action didnt stop
him from making an impression
for the Jayhawks in Saturdays and
Sundays games.
Coach Ritch Price said though
there was no doubt Narodowski
was missed from his spot at the top
of the lineup, Stanfield did all that
could be asked of him. Narodowski
will likely return for either Tuesdays
or Wednesdays contest against
Iowa.
I thought he filled in admirably,
Price said of Stanfield. From my
standpoint he played two games and
he didnt make an error. Thats the
whole crucial thing when youre the
backup freshman infielder is go on
the field and play
defense and give
your pitchers an
opportunity to get
out of jams.
Stanfield, who
made more of an
influence on the
defensive side of
the game, cleanly
fielded everything
that came his way,
and was part of a 3-6-1 double play
that put a final exclamation point
on T.J. Walz shutout performance
in Saturdays 6-0 victory.
At first it was pretty nerve-
wracking, Stanfield said. But once
I got comfortable Ive played
shortstop many times so once I
got comfortable it was just like any
other game.
Nerves led to a couple low throws
that senior first baseman Preston
Land had to pick out of the dirt. But,
Price said, no damage was done.
Tony Thompson, who has played
beside Narodowski at third base in
all but one game, said
Stanfield was awe-
some in relief of his
regular partner on the
left side of the infield.
Of course, Daves
a great asset to our
team, but Stanfield
has come in and done
a great job for us,
Thompson said. Of
course its nice to have
(Narodowski) over there, but while
hes gone, he did a fantastic job this
weekend.
While theres no substitute for
Narodowskis bat hes currently
riding a 12-game hit streak and has
raised his average from .279 to .342
since it started but when hes
gone, its a comfort to the Jayhawks
to have someone who can step in
and fill his shoes.
They said he is day-to-day,
Price said. Obviously, we need him
back in the lineup and on the field,
were a lot better team when hes
out there, but I was pleased with
Stanfield.

Junior forward Danielle McCray
During Kansas turnaround late in the season,
McCray has been dominating ofensively. But she
never really got going against South Florida despite
fnishing with 24 points. McCray made just 7-of-25
attempts, including eight straight misses during one
stretch in the frst half.
IT WAS OVER WHEN ...
GAME TO REMEMbER ...
GAME TO FORGET ...
STAT OF THE NIGHT ...
South Floridas Janae Stokes hit a three-pointer at the end of the
shot clock with 5:42 left in the game. The Bulls nearly turned the ball
over twice during the possession, but Stokes knocked down a wide
open three-pointer to give South Florida 65-53 lead. While Kansas
made a comeback late in the game, Stokes shot created too large of
a lead.
38. Thats the percent Kansas shot against South Florida. In
four previous WNIT games, the Jayhawks never made less than 49
percent of their attempts.
Jayson Jenks
FIRST HALF
12:36 Moments after
South Floridas Brittany Denson
converted an uncontested layup,
freshman Aishah Sutherland
lost the handle amidst South
Floridas full-court press. South
Floridas Janae Stokes converted
the easy layup to put her team
ahead 16-6. Coach Bonnie
Henrickson called a 30-second
timeout to stop the bleeding.
9:05 Junior Danielle
McCray grabbed the ffth
ofensive rebound of the
possession and barely got her
shot over the rim to fnally score.
It was part of a 7-0 KU run that
closed the South Florida lead to
three.
2:29 South Florida senior
Jazmine Sepulveda hit her third
three-pointer to spark a 9-2
run to end the half. As she ran
back down the court, she gave a
small fst pump. Sepulveda had
10 points to lead the Bulls to a
38-30 halftime lead.
SECOND HALF
12:39 Sepulveda played the
passing lane like the most crafty
pickpockets in all of college
basketball. With McCray giving
chase, Sepulveda fnished the
uncontested layup to give South
Florida an eight point lead.
South Florida maintained the
6-10 point lead for most of the
half.
3:36 With the shot clock
winding down, Stokes hit a
heart-breaking three-pointer
from the left wing to give
South Florida its biggest lead.
Stokes, an emotional player,
gave a battle cry that could be
heard throughout the quiet
Fieldhouse. But unlike her
performance to Soulja Boy in
pregame warmups, Stokes did
not dance.
0:27 Sepulveda hit a ffteen
foot jumper to make it a two-
possession game, essentially
fnalizing the outcome. Junior
Sade Morris sagged down to
help on the drive but left South
Floridas leading scorer open on
the wing.

MCCRAY SETS
NEW MARK
Junior forward Danielle
McCray fnished her fve-game
tear through the WNIT as the
tournaments scoring record.
McCray totaled 147 points,
surpassing the previous mark
of 129 points set by Wisconsins
Jolene Anderson in 2007.
McCray averaged 29.4 points
in the WNIT and never scored
less than 24 points in a game.
Shes been a monster, coach
Bonnie Henrickson said.
MORRIS, MCCRAY
HONORED
Junior forward Danielle
McCray and junior guard Sade
Morris were named to the
All-tournament team following
the conclusion of Saturdays
championship game.
The pair joined Boston
Colleges Carolyn Swords, Illinois
States Kristi Cirone and South
Floridas Jazmine Sepulveda and
Shantia Grace, who was named
the tournament MVP.
FOUL TROUbLE
HAMPERS KANSAS
Throughout the game, Kansas
two leading scorers this season
were forced to the bench
because of foul trouble.
Junior forward Danielle
McCray and junior guard Sade
Morris picked up two fouls in
the frst half and missed crucial
minutes before halftime. Morris
picked up her fourth foul with
15 minutes left in the game
and had to sit for much of the
second half.
I think foul trouble kind of
messed us up, McCray said.
Jayson Jenks
Ryan mcGeeney/KAnsAn
Freshman forward Aishah sutherland struggles for a rebound during Saturday's WNIT Championship game against the University of South Florida. Kansas surrendered several ofensive rebounds in key situations, which allowed the Bulls to score 19 second-chance points.
Instead, Kansas struggled at
great lengths to contain a speedy
and attacking South Florida team.
The Bulls spread out the usually
fundamentally sound Jayhawks,
forcing one-on-one matchups that
left Kansas players on a defensive
island.
Yet, even when they initially
were kept from scoring, the Bulls
grabbed offensive rebounds in
critical moments. In the end, the
Jayhawks lack of defensive stops
resulted in a runner-up finish
that left a sour taste in players
mouths.
On any other night, when we
got ourselves in a hole, when we
didnt shoot well, we defended,
Catic said. And tonight, we didnt
and we didnt box out.
Still, Kansas offense sure didnt
help its cause.
Junior forward Danielle
McCray, the player Kansas had
leaned on most, struggled with
South Floridas aggressive and
swarming defense. And the Bulls
were relentless.
South Florida trapped
and double-teamed McCray
throughout the game to get the
ball out of her hands coach Jose
Fernandez said.
McCray scored 24 points, but
made just 7 of 25 shots.
A cold night was going to
happen, McCray said. But it
happened when we really needed
it not to happen.
The Jayhawks improbable run
ended in a rather improbable
circumstance. After drawing just
1,981 fans for Kansas first WNIT
game, Saturdays crowd of 16,113
marked the largest audience to
ever watch a Kansas womens
basketball game.
It also marked the largest crowd
for a womens game played in a Big
12 arena.
Just as important as any trophy,
the Jayhawks gained a fresh wave of
fans by showing the entertainment
value Kansas womens basketball
possesses.
I didnt think it would ever
happen, no matter if we won or
not, McCray said. But we all got
it down in our heads that once you
win, the fans are coming.
Still, for Morris and her
teammates those thoughts strayed
far from their minds in the
moments after the loss.
Kansas entered the WNIT
tournament with every intention
of winning it. And when that goal
fell short, the pain set in.
This ones going to hurt for a
while, Morris said. Its not just
going to be something that goes
away in a day.

The tears in sophomore
Krysten Boogaards eyes 25
minutes after the game showed
that the Jayhawks arent
celebrating finishing second in
the WNIT.
But coach Bonnie Henrickson
does think
their strong
run to finish
the season
will help out
next year.
She especially
thinks playing
in the WNIT
championship
will help her
team.
Its heightened the awareness
of the program and the kids,
Henrickson said. Its been a
great platform for these kids to
play on.
T h e i r
run to the
championship
game, which
they lost
71-75 to
South Florida,
i l l u mi n a t e s
the Jayhawks
strong final
stretch in
which they
won nine of their last 12 games.
Two of those victories came over
ranked Big 12 opponents. Junior
guard LaChelda Jacobs said that
she and her teammates should
recognize exactly what they did
over the last month and a half.
We got to keep our heads
up, Jacobs said as she moved
her eyes from the floor to the
camera in front of her. We did
some really positive things down
the stretch.
The players were not looking
into the future as much as
Henrickson, but they all believed
they will end up in a different
place next year. In their opinions,
a much, much better place.
We definitely wont be here
next year, Jacobs said. Well
definitely be in the tournament.
The team loses senior point
guard Ivana Catic, but the other
four starters return. Next season
will also see the long-awaited
debut of freshman point guard
Angel Goodrich, a highly-touted
recruit who tore her ACL in the
preseason. Jacobs thinks that she
and Angel will share the point
guard role next year.
Freshman Aishah
Sutherland said that
the summer would
give her a chance
to get better and
hopefully become
a starter. But she
realizes she will have
to work extremely
hard to get that
opportunity.
Junior Sade Morris said they
would be able to use the problems
of this season as a crutch next
year should anything go wrong.
We lose players, we go on
a horrible losing
stretch, we go on
a great winning
stretch and we kept
it going, we made
it to where nobody
thought we would
make it, Morris
said. Next year,
if anything comes
our way, well be
like, Well, we went
through it last year, we can get
through it this year.
Henrickson also said that the
stretch run would give her team
confidence.
Were so proud of the seniors,
Henrickson said. The rest of us
have to go back and work and
grow and grow the program and
be in the other tournament.

Strong fnish inspires
returning teammates
here? How much longer would the
program squalor?
Worse yet were how many
people never considered those
questions. Few followed this team.
Few cared.
See, spirited conversation is
welcome in sports or any product
offered to the public. Jeers after an
interception, disappointed glares
after a missed layup and colorful
comments attached to sports col-
umns signify people care enough
about the product to spend some
of their finite time on it.
Home upsets of then-No. 5
Baylor and No. 21 Iowa State and
a run in the WNIT tournament
created a saturated Saturday Phog.
Junior guard Danielle McCrays
mammoth tear through the tour-
nament concluded the season in
historic, deafening fashion.
Saturdays attendance was the
largest in Kansas womens bas-
ketball history besting 1994s
record by nearly 3,000 and set a
Big 12 womens basketball record.
Upon further review, the crowd
was also:
Bigger than any of the womens
Elite Eight games. Of the four,
Oklahoma-Purdue had the high-
est attendance with 11,529. Kansas
drew a Saturday crowd that was
nearly three times the size of these
games average attendance.
Bigger than at either of mens
basketball first and second round
tournament games against North
Dakota State (15,794) and Dayton
(14,279) respectively.
As wired as fans in Allen
Fieldhouse get. The decibel-meter
gimmick employed before the
game and during key breaks in
action couldnt keep up with this
crowd. When Kansas surged to
within one point of the Bulls with
2:22 left, the crowds reaction made
the day special.
Before and after the game, fans
lined to catch a glimpse of and
applaud members of a program
that hadnt been relevant for a
decade. All losses are disappoint-
ing, but occasionally a separate ele-
ment supersedes the box score.
For the first time in a while,
these ladies played in front of full,
vibrant student sections. Many
finally witnessed McCray and
junior guard Sade Morris navi-
gate the court. Sophomore center
Krysten Boogaard and freshman
forward Aishah Sutherland made
hearts beat faster in the final min-
utes under the glass. This team
won us over Saturday.
A similar crowd awaits in six
months for Late Night at the Phog.
Henrickson and her players fully
expect that theyll be in the NCAA
tournament next year and so do I.
What also could be taken from
Saturday is succinct evidence
that womens NCAA tournament
games should be played on college
courts. Having witnessed what the
Jayhawks drew Saturday also sup-
ports calls for the womens season
to begin a month later and its
tournament to stand alone from
the men.
Alas, these are bureaucratic steps
that have as realistic a chance as
a college football playoff. What is
certain, however, is that when this
team builds success, fans will come.

senior guard Ivana Catic keeps pace with a USF player making her way toward the basket during the frst half of Saturday's WNIT Champi-
onship game in Allen Fieldhouse. Catic had to guard the Bulls' best players because Kansas' best defender, Sade Morris, was in foul trouble.

Junior guard Danielle mcCray jumps for a basket during the second half of Saturday's
WNIT Championship game against the University of South Florida. The Bulls defeated the
Jayhawks 75-71.
It's heightened the
awareness of the
program. It's been
a great platform for
these kids to play on.

We got to keep our
heads up. We did
some really positive
things down the

NANCY ARMOUR
Associated Press
DETROIT Michigan State has
been itching for this do-over since
December.
Not only is the NCAA title
at stake when the Spartans play
North Carolina tonight, but
Michigan State will try to avenge
that 35-point beat-
down the Tar Heels
laid on them four
months ago. It was
the most lopsided
loss for Michigan
State since 1996,
Tom Izzos first
year as coach.
We got embar-
rassed, Kalin
Lucas said after
the 98-63 loss in the ACC/Big
Ten Challenge, also played at Ford
Field.
Oh, how things have changed.
The Spartans (31-6) are an
inspired bunch these days, playing
for their third national title and the
pride of their downtrodden state.
The whole country is going
through an extremely difficult
time period right now. Perhaps its
even a little more difficult for those
people here. I appreciate that and
understand what theyre grabbing
onto, North Carolina coach Roy
Williams said. Im happy for them.
I will not be as happy for them on
Monday night.
Few places have been hit hard-
er by the economic crisis than
Michigan, Detroit in particular,
and folks are desperate for some-
thing to rally around, even if only
for a few hours.
The Spartans have been happy
to oblige, knocking off not one, but
two No. 1 seeds to get to the NCAA
title game.
Now comes another in North
Carolina (33-4). It will be the fifth
meeting between the Tar Heels
and Spartans in the NCAA tour-
nament, and North Carolina has
won the first four. The Tar Heels
are an early 7-point
favorite.
I hope we were
a ray of sunshine, a
distraction for them,
a diversion, any-
thing else we can
be, Izzo said after
the Spartans ran over
Hasheem Thabeet
and Connecticut
in an 82-73 upset
Saturday night. Were not done
yet.
The mighty Big East, however,
is.
The best conference in the coun-
try got seven teams in the tourna-
ment, and two made it all the way
to the Final Four. But both went
down Saturday night and, really, it
wasnt even close for Connecticut
or Villanova. After banging and
brawling their way through the
Big East season, both teams were
outmuscled all night.
The Spartans were a weakened
bunch when they played the Tar
Heels back in December. Center
Goran Suton was out with a knee
injury, and Michigan State was play-
ing its fourth game in a week.
They managed to stay with
Carolina early but had fallen behind
by 14 at the half and were thorough-
ly out-matched in the second half.
But Suton is back way back.
He led the rough-and-tumble Big
Ten in rebounding, and was picked
as the most outstanding player of
the Midwest Regional after aver-
aging a double-double in the first
four games. He only had seven
boards and four points Saturday,
but he played a big part in smoth-
ering Thabeet, who wasnt much of
a factor despite his 17 points and
six rebounds.
Raymar Morgan shook off his
late-season slump with a spec-
tacular game, finishing with 18
points, nine rebounds and five
steals against the Huskies. Lucas,
the Big Ten player of the year, had
21 points.
Then theres
the crowd factor.
With their Breslin
Center home court
just 90 miles away,
Michigan State is
playing the clos-
est to home of any
Final Four team
since Kansas won
the 1998 title in
Kansas City, and Detroit is awash
in green and white. A Final Four-
record crowd of 72,456 turned out
Saturday night, and about two-
thirds of the fans were there for the
Spartans.
Hows this for some karma?
Magic Johnson, Spartan-in-chief
since leading Michigan State to its
first title in 1979, will present the
game ball before Mondays title
game along with Larry Bird.
We definitely know theyve got-
ten better, Deon Thompson said.
They didnt have Suton last time,
and hes a big-time player. I really
think its a different team from
when we played them back here.
North Carolina, however, is just
as daunting.
With Tyler Hansbrough, Ty
Lawson and Wayne Ellington back
from last years Final Four team,
the Tar Heels were the unanimous
preseason No. 1 and a fifth national
championship seemed a given. But
they looked vulnerable after losing
to Florida State in the ACC tour-
nament, especially with Ty Lawson
missing that game and two others
with a bum big toe.
So much for that.
Theyve won every tournament
game by 12 points
or more. They took
a lead three min-
utes into the game
Saturday night and
never trailed again.
They had four
players in double fig-
ures, led by Lawsons
22 points and eight
assists. Ellington
chipped in with
another 20, and Hansbrough had a
double-double with 18 points and
11 boards.
They limited the Wildcats to 33
percent shooting, including just
5-of-37 from 3-point range.
We are a confident team, but
we will not be overconfident
Monday night, Williams said.
Thats just not going to happen.
Ive coached in games before
where we beat a team easily or got
killed and turned around and beat
them the second time. My team
knows that theyll have the battle
of the state of Michigan.

Senior sprinter Nickesha
Anderson had been in training
mode for months, waiting to com-
pete in her last season of outdoor
track. After this weekends meet in
Arizona, one could say all that train-
ing paid off.
The Kansas track and field team
headed west to Tucson, Ariz., for the
Arizona Invitational, better known
as the Jim Click Shootout.
It was the teams first official meet
of the outdoor season and it start-
ed off with nicer weather than last
weekend.
It was a lot better than Kansas
and the weather we train in, said
senior sprinter Victoria Howard.
The Jayhawks managed to get
several top finishes throughout the
day, Anderson collecting victories
in three out of the four events she
competed in.
I think it went well for my first
meet. I wasnt planning on doing
anything drastic, Anderson said.
Anderson said it had been quite
some time since she has had to com-
pete in multiple events in one day,
but coming into the meet mentally
prepared to compete in multiple
events helped.
Individually, Anderson got vic-
tories in the 100-meter (11.53 sec-
onds) and 200-meter dashes (23.56
seconds), not only taking first place
but also regionally qualifying for the
NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Anderson also participated in
the 4x100 relay with senior Victoria
Howard, sophomore Kendra
Bradley and junior Aubree Dorsey
taking first with a time of 45.89
seconds.
She ran an amazing back
stretch, Howard said of Andersons
performance.
Howard placed third in both the
100- (11.96 seconds) and 200-meter
(24.53 seconds) dash events.
Howard said that the 4x100 relay
wasnt what they had expected, but
with the new members of the relay
team they hoped to get faster as the
season progresses.
Anderson also participated on
the 4x400 relay team placing second
with a time of 3:48.45.
The Jim Click Shootout was
different than other track meets
Kansas has participated in this year.
Teams were paired up according
to their conference and combined
total points to determine which
conference won.
Kansas and the University
of Nebraska represented the Big
12 Conference, University of
Washington and University of
Arizona represented the Pac-10
and Penn State and University of
Wisconsin represented the Big 10
Conference.
After totaling the victories and
top eight performances, Kansas and
Nebraska took first place with a
total of 496.50 points.
Its early and only the first meet,
but you only get better week after
week, Howard said.
The Jayhawks will compete at the
John Jacobs Invitational Saturday in
Norman, Okla.

This weekends two game series
against Texas Tech seemed to epito-
mize the ups and downs of Kansas
softball season so far.
The Jayhawks were dominant
Saturday afternoon, looking like
the team that had beaten four of
the top 25 teams in the country,
as they run-ruled the Red Raiders
10-0. But as good as they were the
previous day, Kansas struggled on
Sunday, dropping the second game
4-2.
We fought hard to the end, but
its still frustrating, said senior out-
fielder Dougie McCaulley, who tal-
lied four hits over the weekend.
We just made some mistakes and
they took advantage of them.
Mistakes and all, the two games
truly looked like polar opposites.
Saturdays contest was entirely
one-sided, as the Jayhawks racked
up 11 hits and the 10 runs, led by
three RBI apiece from McCaulley
and sophomore shortstop Kolby
Fesmire. Kansas also blasted three
home runs during the game, one by
sophomore outfielder Allie Clark
and two by sophomore outfielder
Liz Kocon.
Junior pitcher Sarah Vertelka
turned in a strong outing from the
circle, allowing only two hits while
shutting out the Red Raiders over
six innings.
You talk about the three things
you need to win: good pitching,
defense and timely hitting, said
coach Tracy Bunge. We got all
three on Saturday Sarah was
super out there, we made all the
plays behind her, and we got a
bunch of key hits with runners on
base.
After getting ahead early with a
2-1 lead on Sunday, the Jayhawks
appeared ready to continue their
torrid pace at the plate and add
to their lead. Despite a number of
chances however, Kansas stranded
eight runners on base, after leaving
only three on base during Saturdays
game. Vertelka wasnt as sharp on
Sunday either, allowing three runs
on four hits. The biggest issue for
Bunge, however, was poor fielding.
We really shot ourselves in the
foot on defense, she said of the
teams three errors. I think we got
good enough pitching to win, but
when you give away extra bases and
opportunities you arent going
to win many games. Give credit to
Texas Tech though, they played a
better game than we did.
With the loss in game two, Kansas
fell to 2-4 in the Big 12, and 12-21
overall. The Jayhawks will need to
shake off the defeat in a hurry
because they play host to Nebraska
for a doubleheader on Wednesday.
Bunge said she believed her team
would do just that.
We dont have time to get down,
she said. This is a group that has
been resilient and really bounced
back well from adversity.
McCaulley echoed her coachs
sentiments.
Everybodys holding their head
high, she said. We just need to
keep taking it one game at a time
and make adjustments. Were con-
fident we can get it done.

Tiger Woods, guests play
at Augusta National
AUGUSTA, Ga. Augusta
National looked like most other
private clubs on a lazy Sunday
afternoon.
But most clubs dont get this
kind of star power.
Tiger Woods, sporting a goatee,
was on the course for the frst
time since his runner-up fnish last
year at the Masters, playing nine
holes and hitting 3-wood on the
10th hole before walking over to
a sandwich stand that catered to
players and guests.
Guests?
Thats right. On the day before
practice rounds begin for the
seasons frst major, guests are
allowed to play on the hallowed
and supremely manicured
grounds of Augusta National.
Strangely enough, members
are not allowed to bring a guest
on this day. Only former Masters
champions have that privilege.
That explains why Mark
OMeara was playing with his cad-
die, why Mike Weir teed of with
his brother, and why Bernhard
Langer had the ultimate fam-
ily outing he played with his
daughter, while son Stefan cad-
died for him.
Woods played No. 10, then
hopped over to the 18th and
called it a day.
