New rules
proposed
for Oread
housing
BY ALEESE KOPF
akopf@kansan.com
Students living in large multi-
person houses in the Oread
Neighborhood might be facing
stricter regulations in the near
future.
Potential regulations range from
parking spaces and the number of
residents allowed in these types
of houses to tenant behavior and
building expansion.
Currently, boarding houses,
which the city officially calls con-
gregated living spaces, are permit-
ted for dwellings with up to 12
sleeping rooms and 24 occupants
if parking and other standards are
upheld. Current parking regula-
tions call for 1.5 spaces per two
lawful occupants. This means eight
occupants would require six park-
ing spaces.
The plan proposed at Tuesdays
City Commission meeting was to
have no limit to the number of bed-
rooms or occupants and a require-
ment of one parking space per resi-
dent for new boarding houses. For
existing boarding houses, the plan
would require four parking spaces
for six bedrooms and an additional
half a space for houses with more
than six bedrooms. There were also
recommendations on limiting the

sparing local schools
BY ROSHNI OOMMEN
roommen@kansan.com
About 1,200 Lawrence residents marched
through downtown Saturday afternoon as part
of the Save Our Neighborhood Schools move-
ment. Participants marched from Liberty Hall
to South Park in an effort to urge the Lawrence
school board not to close local Lawrence ele-
mentary schools.
Because of low state revenues, the school
board is looking to make cuts for a $4 mil-
lion budget deficit. According to the Save Our
Neighborhood Schools organization, the board
is considering closing neighborhood elemen-
tary schools, including Hillcrest, Cordley and
New York Elementary Schools.
Megan Greene, director of the Center for East
Asian Studies, worried that potential school
closings would deter students, faculty and staff
with children from coming to the University.
Greene, said one of the Universitys biggest
recruitment tools for faculty and staff is the
community and downtown, both unique to
Lawrence.
Thats what draws people here, she said.
If the schools disappear, it will be a much less
appealing place.
If the schools are closed, Greene said,
families will be forced to move to
different neighborhoods or areas
of town, changing the dynamic of
the community and its appeal to
potential residents.
Hillcrest is known for its diverse
student body. With more than 35 different
countries represented within the school, it
has been designated where the world goes to
school. Hillcrest also offers English as a second

Waves of changes for navigation of Facebook
BY BRENNA LONG
blong@kansan.com
More than 55 million Facebook
statuses change every day, and late-
ly many students are using them to
vent frustrations about new chang-
es to the familiar site.
I havent seen a single status
praising it, said Amir Jhuremalani,
a sophomore from Roslyn, N.Y. I
hate it based on the fact that Im
happy with the way it is. But as
always, well get use to it, and then
theyll change it again.
Facebook started rolling out
its new navigation bar starting
Thursday, but the changes havent
reached all 400 million users.

tobacco sales to end
on campus July 1
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
Little announced Friday that the
University would stop selling ciga-
rettes and other tobacco products
on all KU campuses starting July 1.
The Board of Regents discussed
the possibility of banning tobacco
sales at all six Regents schools in
January, but the issue was tabled
and referred to the Council of
Presidents for discussion this
month. Chancellor Gray-Little,
who has fnal say in KU policy,
decided to implement the ban
before the meeting.
Lynn Bretz, director of univer-
sity communications, said the
chancellor wanted to support the
Universitys initiatives of health
research and the sale of tobacco
products didnt support that
mission.
While some will point out that
students and employees can buy
these products elsewhere, I think
it is important to make it clear that
the University does not encourage
the use of tobacco and will not sell
it on campus,Gray-Little said in a
prepared statement.
Bretz said cigarette and tobacco
product sales had already ended
at the University of Kansas
Medical Center.

BY ALEESE KOPF
akopf@kansan.com
For more than 100 years, the
Ecumenical Christian Ministries,
often referred to by insiders as the
front porch of KU, has offered
an open-door policy for the mar-
ginalized and socially unaccepted.
And now the building is being
recognized for its role within the
Lawrence community with a place-
ment on the Lawrence Register of
Historical Places.
The ECM building, already on
the state and national registers,
gained this particular distinction
primarily for its acceptance of
social and political groups during
the 60s and 70s, an era marked
by violence and a period of dra-
matic social change throughout
the nation.
In the 1960s ECM building,
then known as the United Campus
Christian Fellowship building,
became a place where people
could openly experiment with new
lifestyles and beliefs surrounding
race, religion and gender.
Richard Crank, a 1989 gradu-
ate, described himself as a gay kid
from a military family, never able
to openly be himself. He first dis-
covered the ECM after attending
a meeting for the Gay Liberation
Front as a freshman in 1971
and remembers instantly feeling
accepted and comfortable.
It felt like being in a home away
from home for a gay guy, Crank
said. I felt like I could be in this
room and be gay. You can be who
you are here. It has always told
me that.
Other marginalized groups of
the time, such as the American
Indian Movement and the February
Sisters, also played an important
role in ECM history. The February
Sisters used the ECM building as
a safe place to meet and discuss
womens rights issues such as birth
control, equal pay and childcare
on campus.
When The Oread offered to buy
the ECM building in late 2007,
Tom Harper, a 92 KU graduate,
was spurred into action to preserve
the ECMs legacy and its contem-
porary resources. After receiving
approval from Thad Holcombe,
the current ECM campus minister,
Harper began the lengthy process
of nominating the building for the
Lawrence Register of Historical
Places.
First I wanted to demonstrate
its significance and importance
to the community, said Harper.
Second, I wanted to help preserve
the ECM building by making it
eligible for tax credits that can go
towards portions of renovations.
Harper said the part of KU
but not of KU attitude of the
ECM made it a neutral place for
dialogue surrounding issues such
as race, civil rights, the anti-war
movement, womens movement
and gay and lesbian issues.
I knew that KU was a turbulent
area in Kansas in the 60s, but I
didnt realize the extent of how
much this center was involved with
what was going on, Holcombe
said. It played a pivotal role in
some ways in terms of what came
out of the 60s.
Decades later, the same open-
door hospitality is still available
to students. About 1,100 students,
faculty, staff and community resi-
dents gather every month for a
variety of educational, spiritual
and social gatherings at ECM,
Holcombe said.
Members of ECM have initiated
their first capital campaign to raise
$832,000 for restoration, renova-
tion and repair. The campaign
booklet states that the 105-year-
old building is one of the oldest
campus ministries in the United
States.
Jason Hering, a senior from
Hutchinson, is a member of the
ECM administrative board, the
Student Leadership Team and is
President of Eco Justice, a group
that seeks to improve environmen-
tal injustices nationally and glob-
ally. Hering described the ECM
as a community hub that helped
him get involved and stay active
on campus.
Its an outlet for students and
the community for any reason
especially radical that wouldnt
necessarily be accepted somewhere
else, Hering said.

ASSOciAtEd PrESS
TOPEKA Sixteen years
ago, Gov. Joan Finney allowed a
death penalty bill to become law
without her signature. The feisty
Democrat said she was doing so
because it was the will of Kansas
people.
Senators are prepared to give
that law its first significant review
when they debate a bill in the
coming days to ban capital pun-
ishment and replace it with life in
prison without parole. Supporters
of the bill say the impetus lies
again in the will of the people.
I dont think its a bad idea to
review a significant public policy
on a regular basis, said Sen. Laura
Kelly, a Topeka Democrat. We
wouldnt be having this debate
if the people of Kansas hadnt
brought it before us. We didnt
gin this up.
The bill is a revision of a mea-
sure that emerged last year in the
Senate and would end the states
practice of sentencing defen-
dants to die for committing the
most heinous crimes. It would
be replaced with a sentence of
life without parole, and the 10
men now under death sentences
would still be executed.
Senate Judiciary Committee
Chairman Tim Owens said the
original bill was flawed and need-
ed more work. He held three
days of hearings on the bill, lis-
tening to victims families who
support the law and want justice,
as well as advocates including the
Catholic church, which says there
are alternatives.

pened to be the police station.
Police say the man then ran
out of the police station, but not

The man, who police say was

He was taken into custody on

Bald eagle receives

Treatment and Learning Center
says staf there decided to turn
to dentist Kirk Johnson, who
thought of patching up the beak
with the same material used
to make temporary crowns for
people.
The crown is being held on
with poster putty, and Johnson
colored it in using highlighter to
give it a yellow tint.
The bird center says the eagle
is doing just fne but wont be
able to return to the wild.

Although the commissioners
discussed the plan, they voted to
return the proposal to the plan-
ning committee. Part of the citys
decision to return the proposal to
the planning commission was to
give students the opportunity to
voice their opinions. The commis-
sioners recognized that boarding
houses, especially in the Oread
Neighborhood, are more practical
for students because they are close to
campus and allow students to share
rent and other expenses with mul-
tiple roommates. The area known
as the Oread Neighborhood, pri-
marily located on Ohio, Tennessee
and Kentucky streets between 11th
and 17th streets, is the main focus
of the discussion around boarding
houses.
But the planning commission is
having difficulty proposing a plan
that would be acceptable to neigh-
bors, students, landlords and the
community as a whole. The pro-
posed plan was more beneficial for
students, but some Oread neigh-
bors felt their interests were not
protected. Because of this difficulty
the plan will likely be reworked to
include regulations that are harsher
for students. The committee origi-
nally initiated a text amendment
that would change the regulations
of boarding houses in May 2009
and have had subsequent meetings
in August, October and December
with little success in finding a pro-
posal that accommodates all.
Members of the Oread
Neighborhood Association and a
few property owners that live in
the predominately student-popu-
lated area expressed their concerns
with parking, excessive partying
and other behavioral issues associ-
ated with the growing number of
boarding houses at last Tuesdays
meeting.
While the discussion around the
future of boarding houses affects
students just as much as neighbors,
only one student was present at the
meeting.
Elise Higgins, a senior from
Topeka and community affairs
director for Student Senate, is
responsible for representing the
interest of Student Senate to the
city and making sure student voic-
es are heard when decisions are
made that affect
students. The rea-
sons she attended
the meeting last
Tuesday were to
address the lack
of student input
in the process and
the negative gen-
eralizations being
made by mem-
bers of the Oread
Nei ghborhood
Association.
Its important
students are involved in the process
when it affects where they live,
Higgins said. I objected to the
way students were being character-
ized as alcoholics and irresponsible
undergraduates. Its really unfair to
generalize that to all students who
live in the neighborhood.
Tristan Conrad, a senior from
Andover, said he disagreed with
people who think the number of
boarding houses should be reduced
or that they should be limited by
harsher restrictions. Conrad lives in
an eight-bedroom house with nine
other students. He said that they
are not irresponsible
students and chose
to live together for
the economic bene-
fits of boarding style
houses.
We have contact-
ed our neighbors and
help them with items
such as yard work,
Conrad said. We
have also helped our
landlord with work
around the house. It
is our house, we live
there and are productive students.
Both Higgins and Conrad said
they believed students should be
more involved in decisions that
affect them as well as permanent
residents.

Houses such as this one, which holds more than 10 college students, can have negative efects on
neighborhoods. Parking congestion and parties are a pair of issues that have drawn criticism.
OreAd (continued from 1A) SChOOlS (continued from 1A)
language programs for non-native
speakers. Many Hillcrest students
are children of KU students living
in Stauffer Place Apartments or
nearby neighborhoods.
Marike Janzen, professor of
Spanish and Portuguese, said she
participated in the march because
she was concerned about the effect
closing schools would have on
neighborhoods.
Schools are the cornerstone
of strong neighborhoods, Janzen
said. Hillcrest has so many unique
qualities I think are important.
Janzen has two sons, one who is
a third grader at Hillcrest, and one
who will be starting kindergarten
at Hillcrest in the fall. She said that
the unique international student
population at Hillcrest had played
a large role in her sons educa-
tion and is very important to her.
Beyond that, Janzen said she appre-
ciated the strong academic records
of the skilled staff at Hillcrest.
Among the members of the
Lawrence community who
marched on Saturday, Anne
Patterson, lecturer in Architecture
and Urban Planning, demonstrat-
ed dressed as a Viking.
It seems like Vikings have a
little fight, Patterson said. Thats
what we need.
All three of Pattersons children
attended Hillcrest. Patterson said
she marched in support of the
Hillcrest community, which played
a large role in her childrens lives.
The people that usually watch
and attend the parades downtown
are the people marching, Patterson
said. These people make the town.
We have to support these people.
Shona Clarkson, a junior from St.
Louis, and Aaron Stables, a junior
from Derby, both participated in
the march in support of Julian, a
first grader at New York School.
Stables said he felt for kids
like Julian, who would be
affected by any school closings.
It just seems like all the schools
for lower income people are being
threatened to be closed, Stables
said.
Clarkson, who lives in East
Lawrence, said she hoped the march
would make a difference in the way
the school board makes its decision.
If it doesnt, it shows that people
arent listening, Clarkson said.
The next school board meeting is
at 7 p.m. tonight at the Educational
Support & Distribution Center,
110 McDonald Drive.

speak English.
some venerable East coast
universities are trying to ease
that burden and tap the
booming pool of hispanic
students by ofering spanish
translations of their admissions
and fnancial aid material.
Bryn Mawr college, an elite
womens liberal arts school near
Philadelphia, recently launched
a spanish version of its Web site.
And the ivy league University
of Pennsylvania has begun con-
ducting some college admis-
sions sessions in spanish.
These initiatives are really
geared toward the families ...
to take some of the pressure
of the students, said Jennifer
Rickard, Bryn Mawrs chief
enrollment ofcer.
Family comfort level is
extremely important in the
hispanic community, where
parental ties are strong and
many are wary of sending their
children away to school, said
Deborah santiago, vice presi-
dent for policy and research at
Washington-based Excelencia in
Education.
The parents do play a critical
role in at least the aspiration
of college, santiago said. My
parents hadnt gone to college
but they told me i was going.
Nationwide, only 25 percent
of hispanics ages 18 to 24
were in college in 2006. That
compares with 32 percent of
blacks, 44 percent of whites and
61 percent of Asian-Americans,
according to a report by the
American council on Education.
But the same report found that
hispanic college enrollment
increased 66 percent between
1995 and 2005.
The U.s. latino population
overall is expected to grow
from 15 percent to 28 percent
by 2050, according to census
Bureau fgures released in
December.

The Office of Multicultural
Affairs is encouraging students
to think about the effects of peer
oppression. The office established
Hate Out Week in 2001, a program
designed to promote on-cam-
pus unity and positive attitudes
among peers. The theme for this
years event, No One Should Be
Labeled, focuses on the different
labels students give their peers and
the oppression that comes with
those labels.
Matt Reed, a complex direc-
tor for student housing, said this
event is important to bring to light
oppression that still exists.
These kind of events are crucial
to our campus community, Reed
said. They help bring awareness
to our peers, what happens to them
and what we can do to help.
Scheduled events include a pre-
sentation by Eva Vega, a speaker
who uses humor to bring impor-
tant diversity issues to light, and
an exhibit called the Tunnel of
Oppression, which allows students
to experience different forms of
oppression, or to be placed in
unfamiliar environments. Reed
said the events would help stu-
dents focus on ways that they can
work to eliminate discrimination
and hatred.
I feel like a lot of students come
to KU not really understanding
what oppression is out there, Reed
said. Through this, they can gain
knowledge of whats going on. The
more they know, the more they
can do to play a role in order to
eliminate hate.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sarah
Palin took aim at President Barack
Obama and the Democrats in a
speech, telling a gathering of tea
party activists that America is ripe
for another revolution.
Noting his partys dismal show-
ing in elections since Obama
moved into the White House a year
ago with talk of hope and promises
of change, Palin asked the gather-
ing: Hows that hope-y, change-y
stuff workin out for you?
Her audience waved flags and
erupted in cheers during multiple
standing ovations as the 2008 GOP
vice presidential nominee gave the
keynote address Saturday at the
first national convention of the
tea party coalition. Its an anti-
establishment, grass-roots network
motivated by anger over the growth
of government, budget-busting
spending and Obamas policies.
Palins 45-minute talk was filled
with her trademark folksy jokes
and amounted to a pep talk for
the coalition and promotion of its
principles.
The speech also was rife with
criticism for Obama and the
Democrats who control Congress,
but delivered with a light touch.
Aside from broad conservative
principles like lower taxes and a
strong national defense, the speech
was short on Palins own policy
ideas that typically indicate some-
one is seriously laying the ground-
work to run for the White House.
Indeed, Republican observ-
ers say shes seemingly done more
lately to establish herself as a
political celebrity
focused on pub-
licity rather than
a political candi-
date focused on
policy.
Catering to
her crowd, Palin
talked of lim-
ited government,
strict adherence to the Constitution,
and the God-given right of free-
dom. She said the fresh, young
and fragile movement is the future
of American politics because its a
ground-up call to action to both
major political parties to change
how they do business.
America is ready for another
revolution! she told the gathering.
Palin suggested the movement
should remain leaderless and cau-
tioned against allowing it to be
defined by any one person.
Let us not get bogged down
in the small squabbles. Let us get
caught up in the big ideas, she said,
though she offered few of her own.
The former Alaska governor,
who resigned from office last sum-
mer before completing her first
term, didnt indicate whether
her political future would extend
beyond cable news punditry and
paid speeches
to an actual
pres i dent i al
candidacy.
All she
offered was
a smile when
a modera-
tor asking her
questions used
the phrase President Palin. That
prompted most in the audience to
stand up and chant Run, Sarah,
Run!
But, given the plethora of attacks
that Palin leveled at Obama, she
seemed like she was already run-
ning against him. And, perhaps, as
an independent.
She talked little about the
Republican Party and encouraged
tea party-aligned candidates to
compete in GOP primaries.
America is ready for
another revolution!

I
spend at least five minutes
every morning choosing
what to wear to class. Picky?
Yes.
On days when I get stuck star-
ing into my closet for 15 min-
utes, unable to find the perfect
ensemble, I miss my uniformed
student life from back in
Macau.
In Macau, as throughout
much of China, students are
required to dress in neat and
clean uniforms.
In Chinese culture, unlike the
preferred individualism in the
western world, collectivism is
embraced. Uniforms are thought
to engage students and construct
positive school images.
The Chinese uniform is pretty
simple. Girls dress in white with
a belt and dark blue ribbon tied
below a round collar. Boys wear
white T-shirts with ties in winter
months and dark gray long suit
pants. White socks with black
shoes are standard footwear for
both boys and girls.
Girls basically look like angels
and guys look like gentlemen.
Naturally, most parents are in
favor of uniforms. The uniform
essentially plays the role of a
chaperone. With uniforms on,
students are constantly reminded
to behave themselves. A sense of
responsibility is attached to the
image of the uniform. Sounds
great, right?
I didnt used to think so.
When I had to dress in a specific
way every day, my uniform rep-
resented a boring, old-fashioned
image. I felt constrained and too
recognizable by others.
My friends and I couldnt wait
until after school when we could
strip our uniforms and hang out
in cozy, casual wear.
Now, I am able to wear
whatever pleases me. However,
I quickly discovered the good
sides of wearing a uniform.
Not only do uniforms relieve
the stress of picking out an
outfit, they also remind me of
unique memories.
When I was little, I dreamed
to have more freedom to behave
as a little adult. I rebelled.
I always wanted more and I
wished to break away from the
cage and leave the childhood
playground.
Now, though, I find myself
wishing it were possible to
rewind back to more innocent
days. I realize that my uniform-
adorned school days werent
so bad. I had pure but solid
friendship, naive but memorable
puppy-love and a busy, but joy-
ful, life.
Its ironic that when I finally
received the freedom I once so
desperately craved, I now yearn
for a little more navet and
restriction.
However, this can never be.
Life must go on.
My uniform, as well as those
memories, have to be placed
back in my closet. I cant hold
every single treasure in my
hands, but I know I can place
them in my heart forever.

China, in journalism.
Uniforms serve to
keep memories alive

T
rue, the economy is bad and
were poor college students.
But, these are not excuses
to scrimp on tipping when out at a
bar or restaurant.
This past summer, Oprah
reportedlyany official com-
ments on her Web site have been
removedtold viewers that tip-
ping 10 percent was acceptable
because of the struggling economy.
Money is tight, but it is ridiculous
for Oprah, one of the wealthiest
people in America, to suggest stiff-
ing servers. It is also unfair for us
to follow suit.
Waiters, waitresses and bartend-
ers are paid an hourly wage. But,
unlike other jobs, servers earn sig-
nificantly less than minimum wage.
They rely on tips from customers
to make up the difference. If tips
arent coming in, a server could
end his shift with barely anything
to show for it.
Occupations where workers are
reliant on tips extend far beyond
just restaurants or bars. There are
multiple jobs where employees
should be tipped.
Different services permit differ-
ent amounts of tipping. Calculating
various percentages can become a
little complicated. However, thanks
to technology, cell phones now
often come equipped with specific
tip calculators.
All the details of tipping can get
confusing, but it doesnt have to be.
Simply ask, Is this person provid-
ing a service?
Tip hair-stylists, Jimmy Johns
drivers, babysitters and, if feeling
kind, toss a few dollars in a favorite
baristas tip jar.
If someone has gone above and
beyond for exceptional service,
reward him or her for it. Did the
pizza deliverer drive through a foot
of snow to deliver in 30 minutes?
Did a hair-stylist squeeze in an
emergency visit? Show appreciation
with a slightly larger tip.
Is it ever OK to stiff a server?
In my opinion, the answer is no.
Regardless of the terrible service,
its impolite to not leave a tip.
Leaving a bad tip makes the tip-
per no better than the bad waiter.
Consider it an act of maturity.
Maybe the server is just having an
awful day.
Insufficient tipping can be easily
avoided with a little effort.
If there really isnt enough cash
to afford a tip on top of dinner out,
then head to McDonalds instead of
stiffing a server.

Religion as an
excuse for injustice
I have watched the Perry v.
Schwarzenegger trial about
same-sex marriage in San
Francisco with great interest.
There are, as is usual with such
debates, two sides to this coin.
On one, individuals claim that
the secular government is a
guarantor of civil rights. On the
other, individuals claim that the
government has a responsibility
to codify religious doctrines of
the majority.
Which side is right? It may
well be impossible to know.
However, we should be mindful
that when it comes to the latter
we have heard this all before.
In the debate over slavery, per-
sonas like Reverend R. Furman
and Jefferson Davis claimed
that the right to own slaves was
ordained by the Bible.
In the debate over suffrage
for women, individuals claimed
that Eves creation subsequent
to Adam indicated that God
intended for only men to have a
say in governance.
In the debate over segregation,
laws including those that banned
interracial marriage were based,
and defended, upon the notion
that God created the white race
superior to (so-called) mon-
grel races and that He abhorred
mutts and co-mingling.
Indeed, weve heard this all
before. Weve seen the face of
the legal institution of religious
discrimination; it was not right
then, and it is not right now.
Whether this case comes
down to the right to see religious
intolerance enshrined in law, or
the right to be safeguarded from
oppression by government, we
would do well to ask: In 20, 30
or 40 years, will our children
see in us the same face of hatred
that we have seen in previous
generations?
And, perhaps more impor-
tantly, will that face be any less
insidious because it is hidden
behind a mask of religion?

T
he unknown long-term
effects of K2 certainly raise
major concerns and deserve
attention. But passing an outright
ban on the synthetic chemicals
found in K2, an herbal mixture said
to produce a marijuana-like high
when smoked, was not the right
step for Kansas lawmakers.
Regrettably, the Senate and the
House of Representatives passed
two separate bills that would
do exactly that. If Gov. Mark
Parkinson signs an agreed-upon
version of the bill, Kansas will
become the first state to establish a
ban on a substance fewif any
scientific or medical experts know
anything about.
According to the Drug
Enforcement Agency, neither
JWH-018 nor JWH-073, the psy-
choactive ingredients in K2, are
currently monitored by any drug
abuse surveys.
Whats more, no studies have
been published concerning the
effects of either substance on
humans.
Yet, despite the glaring lack of
scientific research available on K2,
lawmakers and law enforcement
agents were quick to declare the
substance a major health concern
when it started to gain attention
last fall.
Douglas County Sheriff Ken
McGovern has been quoted as
saying that K2 was the next epi-
demic coming to our commu-
nity. McGoverns exaggerated and
unfounded rhetoric is a remnant
of the failed War on Drugs that
many Kansas lawmakers and law
enforcement officials stubbornly
keep fighting.
While lawmakers in other states
are decriminalizing marijuanafor
both medicinal and recreational
useconservative Kansas lawmak-
ers insist the 21st century War on
Drugs can still be won using 20th
century tactics.
Even the federal government
has taken significant steps in
recalibrating its approach to
Americas drug problem. The
Obama administration refuses to
call it a war and has taken an
increasingly progressive stance.
Simply criminalizing drugs such
as the synthetic chemicals found
in K2 is an outdated and disproved
solution. Kansas should shift its
policies to be more in line with the
national trend, which focuses on
public health over criminal justice
and treatment over incarceration.
If nothing else, K2 deserves
more research before lawmakers
make rushed judgments. The drugs
effects may actually have medical
benefits, as several opponents of
the ban have argued.
Given the uncertainties sur-
rounding its chemical components,
K2 should not be ignored, but a
premature quick fix supported
by biased testimonies rather than
objective facts was not the solu-
tion. Lawmakers need to consider
a more proactiveand less reac-
tiveapproach.
The overwhelming support of
both bills36-1 in the Senate and
110-11 in the Houseis disap-
pointing, but not surprising. 2010
is an election year, and opponents
of bills become easy targets for
their political rivals. Few politicians
can win re-election with the soft
on drugs label painted on them,
no matter how misleading it is.
Though the Senate and the
House passed separate versions
of the bill, Parkinson must sign it
before it goes into effect. Students
should contact their representa-
tives and the governors office and
encourage them to reconsider.
Even if the bill passes, Kansas
lawmakers need to acknowledge
that the War on Drugs is more
than an outdated termits an out-
dated policy.

Kayleigh Peterson knows her
trains. During winter break she
and her boyfriend, Chris, took the
passenger rail line, Amtrak, from
Kansas City, Mo. to Chicago to see
Lady Gaga perform.
As a kid, Peterson, a junior from
Overland Park, said she also rode
various trains on the west coast and
has spent time in Europe where her
main mode of transportation was
the local railway.
Its so much more convenient
and a much more comfortable way
to travel, Peterson said. In the
winter, especially, its a lot more reli-
able than driving or flying.
But because there arent many
local options to passenger rail, she
said she doesnt use it often.
Kansas rail systems, however,
may soon improve on a local and
national scale.
NATIoNAL
pRopoRTIoNS
On Jan. 31, President Barack
Obama proposed an $8 billion plan
through the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act for an
expanded high-speed and inter-city
passenger rail in an effort to reduce
congestion on highways between
larger cities, reduce transportation
emissions and create job opportu-
nities.
That investment is how we can
break ground across the country,
putting people to work building
high-speed rail lines, Obama said
in a Jan. 28 press release. Because
theres no reason why Europe or
China should have the fastest trains
when we can build them right here
in America.
In total, 31 states includ-
ing Kansas, and the District of
Columbia will receive money.
Not only will there be 13 new train
corridors, but the U.S. Department
of Transportation will also award
several grants for improvement
and planning projects. Kansas,
along with many other states in the
Midwest, will be receiving one of
these grants.
The Midwest is receiving $2.61
billion to fund projects, such as a
high-speed line from Kansas City,
Mo. to St. Louis and additions to the
line from Oklahoma City through
Newton to Kansas City, Mo.
Expanded rail service through-
out the U.S. is unquestionably a
good thing from an environmental
perspective, said Robert Hagen,
lecturer in the Environment Studies
Program. The problem is how to
overcome the political and eco-
nomic barriers that block the tran-
sition from our current systems.
STATE-WIDE
Tom Hein, public affairs man-
ager for the Kansas Department
of Transportation, said the state
doesnt know when it will be able to
fund additions to the passenger rail
line in Kansas.
The timetable is really hard to
pin down on this, Hein said.
However, KDOT commissioned
Amtrak to do a study to find the
best place to lay tracks. The depart-
ment expects results from the study
this month.
Its not a service thats really
inducive for Kansans to use really
at all, Hein said of the passenger
rail services currently available in
Kansas. The proposal is to some-
how tie into Newton with this train.
Or maybe it will be a stand-alone.
Dick Kelsey, a Kansas senator,
has also said he thought expand-
ing rail service would be a positive
thing for Kansas.
The current plan is to expand
the existing line that runs from Ft.
Worth, Tex., to Oklahoma City and
continue it up to Newton. There
are currently six rail stations in
Kansas, including the one located
in Lawrence.
KDOT also received a $250,000
grant Sunday, which is included
in the ARRA funds. The state will
have to match this amount in order
to put together a service develop-
ment plan for potential expanded
passenger rail service in Kansas.
After the Amtrak study and the
service development plan are com-
pleted, we will provide the reports
to the Legislature, who ultimately
will determine whether the pro-
posed expansion of rail service can
be funded, said Transportation
Secretary Deb Miller in a press
release.
Hein said the possibility of
expansion and funding will rely
heavily on the results of the Amtrak
study.
In addition, Senate Bill 409,
before the Senate Transportation
Committee, would develop a state
passenger rail program. The bill
would provide a way for KDOT to
attain additional federal grants and
it would require the Legislature to
approve any state funding for the
program.
Lawrence is currently one of 55
cities in Kansas that has signed on
to support the bill.
CITY-CENTERED
A separate study of Wichita
conducted by Jayhawk Consulting,
a group of MBA students at the
University, indicates a local eco-
nomic incentive for additional pas-
senger rail in Kansas.
The study said the proposed
Amtrak train line that would run
through Wichita could possibly
generate $3.20 in regional econom-
ic impact for every dollar invested.
The study estimated the line
would rake in 7,295 new riders
for the Lawrence Amtrak station,
413 East Seventh St., and that
each rider stopping in Lawrence
would spend around $35, garner-
ing approximately $251,830 for the
local economy.
Overall economic impact shows
a break-even return after the first
year with a continuing $43 million
annual impact, concluded a sum-
mary of the study.
Hein said the passenger rail ser-
vices in Lawrence are currently only
available in the middle of the night,
which poses some inconveniences.
There are people who do it, he
said. But its three oclock in the
morning for Gods sake.
While it will take time to see what
the long term effects and benefits of
additional passenger rail through-
out Kansas and the Midwest will
be, Peterson said she is looking
forward to seeing the results.
She said she would definitely
use it as it was a more cost efficient
way to travel.
$100 for a round trip is a lot
cheaper, Peterson said. $50 just
to Chicago is like a tank and a half
of gas.

The Jayhawks were in a hurry
to prove that they could move
on without their leader. Coach
Bonnie Henrickson and her team
did just that.
Kansas defeated Kansas State
70-60 in its first game without
injured senior guard Danielle
McCray. With the victory, Kansas
jumped to 14-7 and 4-4 in the Big
12, extending the Jayhawks win-
ning streak to three games while
also snapping a five-game losing
streak against the Wildcats.
McCray, an Olathe native, tore
the ACL in her left knee during
Thursdays practice, ending her
career at Kansas.
Todays game was as much
emotional adversity as it was phys-
ical adversity, Kansas State coach
Deb Patterson said. Emotion
translated to execution.
As McCray sat between her
coaches, knee braced, furiously
scribbling observations in a note-
pad, freshman guard Monica
Engelman was placed on cen-
ter stage as the newest piece of
the starting lineup. In her first
collegiate start, Engelman, San
Antonio, Texas native, finished

It took the Jayhawks a while to
figure it out, but the Cornhuskers
came to play.
After letting Nebraska hang
around for most of the game,
Kansas finally pulled away in the
second half in Saturdays 75-64
victory.
I felt like they came out with
a vengeance and they wanted
to win, sophomore forward
Marcus Morris said. We kind of
came out on our heels.
Leading most of the first
half, the Jayhawks found them-
selves trailing 43-39 when the
Cornhuskers came out of half-
time with an 8-2 run.
From that point forward,
senior guard Sherron Collins
knew it was going to be a battle.
We finally realized they came
to fight, he said. This wasnt
going to be one of those games
where we go up 20 and they just
give up.
Coach Bill Self called a tim-
eout. Not by coincidence, Collins
came right out with a 3-point-
er that sparked a 28-5 run the
Jayhawks rode to victory. Collins
said Self had great words of moti-
vation in that huddle.
Us getting down was some-
thing that we needed, he said.
Him jumping on us was some-
thing we needed too.
Self was not happy with the
first half. But the defensive inten-
sity in the second half was some
of the best basketball hes seen all
year from his team.
We turned it up, they didnt
get comfortable, he said. We
played for 10 minutes or eight

Kansas Coach Bill Self preaches
to his team about not overlooking
weaker opponents.
So after the Jayhawks 75-64
victory against Nebraska, it was
surprising to hear what he had
to say about looking forward to
Mondays match-up against Texas.
I dont want to take anything
away from Nebraska, but it was
one of those games, Lets get
through this game so we can get to
that game, he said.
The No. 1 Jayhawks visit the
once top-ranked Longhorns, who
have lost four of their last six
games. They fell to fourth place in
the Big 12, three games behind the
Jayhawks. Despite Texas recent
decline, the game still means a lot
to Kansas.
Even though they lost, theyre
still a top-10 team to me, sopho-
more forward Marcus Morris said.
Theyre still a top-10 team to all
of us.
The Jayhawks had a rough out-
ing against the Cornhuskers, get-
ting by thanks to a 28-5 run in the
second half. The Jayhawks only
mustered one more rebound than
their physically smaller opponent.
Against Texas, Morris said, that
effort isnt going to fly.
Theres no way we can let Texas
get so many offensive rebounds or
we wont come out with a victory,
he said. Its going to be a dog fight
so everyone has to go to the glass.
Self said playing an abundance
of games for the past couple weeks
in hostile environments may have
caused the lack of energy against
Nebraska.
But with only a 40-minute prac-
tice on Sunday, Self said he hopes
to have his team recharged for
Monday.
Well try to have fresh minds
and fresh legs going to Austin,
he said.
Looking at what the Jayhawks
have been through in the past cou-
ple weeks, senior guard Sherron

ith a healthy Angel
Goodrich and Danielle
McCray, Kansas best
playmakers, the Jayhawks went to
Manhattan in January, scored an
embarrassing 35 points and lost by
24.
With Goodrich and McCray
unable to play Sunday as they rehab
ACL tears, Kansas beat Kansas State
70-60.
The 34-point swing shows both
the advantage of playing at home
and the emotional wave caused by
the devastating injury to Danielle
McCray. The senior leader tore her
ACL in practice Thursday and could
only fill assistant coaching duties
Sunday.
Her playing career at Kansas is
over.
For the rest of the team, a ton of
important games remain in the Big
12 gauntlet. The remaining eight
games in conference play all present
greater challenges than the Wildcats.
Those challenges start with a visit
from Kelsey Griffin and undefeated
Nebraska Wednesday. It will be hard
to maintain Sundays energy for the
rest of the season as the scarring
memory of McCray screaming in
pain slowly fades.
At some point, Kansas will simply
have to play better than its oppo-
nents and not rely on pure energy.
It will be up to Monica Engelman,
a soft-spoken scorer from San
Antonio, Texas, to provide offensive
production and quality minutes in
McCrays absence.
She looked fluid in the role
Sunday, scoring 16 points on 6 for
9 shooting from the field. Hearing
her name announced as starter for
the first time didnt rattle her much;
she hit her first three shots from the
field, including two swishes from
3-point land.
After the game, Engelman said
she didnt even notice a difference
with McCray out of the lineup.
Engelman did notice McCrays
role as a coach. McCray wedged
herself between Kansas assistant
coaches and jotted down observa-
tions she would tell the players dur-
ing timeouts. Engelman and McCray
were usually next to each other in
the huddle.
Its so exciting just to see some-
one grow, McCray said. It just
makes you feel really good.
McCray pointed to Engelmans
refusal of a screen to get an open
jumpshot as an example of a play
that McCray can help refine.
Engelman will become an offen-
sive focal point, but the rest of the
team needs to boost their scoring
numbers to make up for McCray.
The schedule toughens consider-
ably and losing McCray will hurt.
Senior Sade Morris said she recog-
nized how the team will need to play
without McCray.
I dont think we have a choice but
to come out with full energy because
thats what helps us, Morris said.
We have to build off of that. We
came out with all that energy and
look at what it did for us.
Considering the tough upcom-
ing schedule and lack of quality
victories, Kansas is on the NCAA
Tournament bubble. Playing in the
Big Dance, and not the NIT like last
year, will provide all the energy the
Jayhawks need.
Editedby KristenLiszewski
Kansas needs to
recharge before
Texas match-up
T
he crowd screaming, fans stomping
on the bleachers and banners rep-
resenting past glory hanging from
the ceiling: All three of these factors reso-
nate in arenas around the country, from
College Park, Md. to Tucson, Ariz.
In recent discussions with friends, a
topic that almost always came up was the
black cauldron known as the Octagon of
Doom at Kansas State. I laughed at those
college basketball experts who called a
place where the then-No. 1 team Texas lost
one night but Oklahoma State won a few
days later intimidating. This shows that
we need a list of things that make a place
worthy of fear. Here are my five ingredi-
ents for a home court thats a hell hole for
opposing teams.
1.Build a reputation
for upsets
No arena had a greater ability to manu-
facture upsets than Notre Dames Joyce
Center back in the 1970s and 80s. During
that span, the Fighting Irish defeated four
No. 1 teams, six top-10 teams and ended
UCLAs 88-game winning streak.
2.Court History
Te Kansas State faithful have no idea
what court history is. Especially, when
compared with Maryland and their fabled
Cole Fieldhouse. Marylands former home
saw the frst all-black starting lineup in
a championship game. Te players were
members of the Texas Western team that
played for the 1966 NCAA title. Cole was
also home to the frst Midnight Mad-
ness, a brainchild of former Maryland
coach Lefy Driesell that is similar to Late
Night at the Phog. Allen Fieldhouse is one
of the other places in college basketball
that smells like history as todays players
walk in the same space as JoJo White, Wilt
Chamberlain and Paul Pierce.
3.Banner envy
When you walk into arenas across the
country, the frst place you normally look
is at the banners hanging from the ceiling.
Some arenas (Missouri) dont have many
while others are practically covered (North
Carolina and Kentucky). To have your
banner raised at North Carolina you have
to either be named an All American, ACC
player of the year or National player of the
year. North Carolina currently has 58 such
players. Tat alone should scare a fresh-
man playing there for the frst time.
4.WaCkiness = sexiness
When you see arenas on TV, many of
them show a certain quirk or feature that
makes that arena stand out. At Minnesota,
the foor is raised and players have to stand
at times if they want a good look at the ac-
tion. At Vanderbilt, the benches are at the
end of the foor so if a coach wants to yell
at one if his players, hell have to do a lot of
screaming.
5.student Madness
Tis may be the most important
ingredient in producing a tough arena.
Student sections like the Cameron Crazies
(Duke), Phog Phanatics (Kansas), and the
Izzone (Michigan State) are what make
college basketball special. Along with a
crazy student section you have to come
up with a unique way to playfully torture
opponents, and nobody does that better
than the Cameron Crazies. In one game
Maryland superstar Herman Veal, who
had been accused of sexual assault, had
womens underwear thrown at him during
introductions.
With all of that craziness in mind, here
are my top fve favorite arenas in college
basketball.
1.Cameron Indoor Stadium (Duke)
2.Assembly Hall (Indiana)
3.Allen Fieldhouse (Kansas)
4.Williams Arena (Minnesota)
5.Cole Fieldhouse (Former home of
Maryland

Highly ranked notre dame breezes past Ku
BY Kathleen Gier
kgier@kansan.com
twitter.com/kgier

The Kansas tennis team fell
to 1-1 for the spring season after
a 7-0 loss to Notre Dame at the
Jayhawk Tennis Facility Friday. The
Fighting Irish are ranked No. 13 in
the nation by the Intercollegiate
Tennis Association.
The doubles team
of sophomore Kate
Morozova and fresh-
man Sara Lazarevic
faced Notre Dames
No. 12 ranked doubles
team of sophomore
Kristy Frilling and
senior Kali Krisik.
All the players
there are really good,
Morozova said. Me
and Sara, in doubles,
played well. We came
out with a lot of ener-
gy and were ready to
fight.
Morozova, a Togliatte, Russia
native, and Lazarevic, a Bradenton,
Fla., native, went on to lose the
match 8-2, however.
They are a strong team and
they played with a lot of power.
They were just so consistent.
Lazarevic said. They were on top
of every ball so that is something
that we have not faced previously,
but it is something we can take to
improve on.
In singles, Morozova once again
faced Frilling, who is ranked No. 30
in the nation in singles.
I started really slow so I was
down 3-0, but then I found my
game and I started to play much
better, Morozova said.
She battled back to a first-set
tiebreaker, which
went into five
deuce games, but
lost both sets.
Freshman Vika
Khanevskaya was
the only singles
player to go to
a second-set
tiebreaker. She
played against
Notre Dame
senior Colleen
Rielley, who
attended Blue
Valley West in
Overland Park.
If you are a little bit down with
your feelings, you are still fighting
for each ball, but it is hard com-
pared to the first set, Khanevskaya,
Moscow, Russia native, said.
She won the first set 6-4, but lost
the second 6-0 and the tiebreaker
10-6.
Lazarevic said it was a good
learning experience playing a tal-
ented team and it would help later
in the season.
It gave us a look at what we
need to do differently next match
coming up and what we need to
work on, Lazarevic said. Being
our second match of the season
I think it opened a lot of doors
for us.
Kansas next match is against
the University of Missouri-Kansas
City at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the
Jayhawk Tennis Facility.
Edited by Drew Anderson
Collins said they can win close
games when things arent going
right and survive in harsh environ-
ments.
It took a visit to the first team
that beat Texas to brace them for
what Mondays crowd might have
in store.
I think K-State prepared us for
the crowd, Collins said. I havent
heard any louder place in my four
years. I think the crowd and the
way they played prepared us for the
game against Texas.
The past few seasons usually have
been kind to the home team except
for the time Kansas beat Texas in
Austin to win the Big 12 champion-
ship. But the ability to play a No.1
team and their recent losses might
have Texas hungrier than usual.
Theyre going to be ready for
us, Collins said. Its going to be a
mans game.
After Saturdays game, the players
had a lot to say about Texas, almost
more so than the opponent they
faced. Morris said he had this one
circled on his calendar for a while.
We never look past any oppo-
nent, but this is the one we wanted,

Unranked Sooners
upset No. 10 Texas
NORMAN, Okla. Tommy
Mason-Grifn scored 24 points,
Cade Davis added 20 points
and 10 rebounds for the second
double-double of his career and
Oklahoma beat No. 9 Texas 80-71
on Saturday in a game dedicated
to the memory of late Sooners
star Wayman Tisdale.
The Longhorns (19-4, 5-3
Big 12) cut a 19-point, second-
half defcit to fve in the fnal 2
minutes but were hampered
the whole game by the same
free-throw shooting woes that
have been an Achilles heel all
season.
Texas made just 10 of its 27
foul shots and were 4 of 11 in the
second half.
Freshman Avery Bradley scored
21 points to lead the Longhorns,
who have lost four of six since
being ranked No. 1 for the frst
time in school history. Damion
James added 12 points and Gary
Johnson had 11 points and 10
rebounds.
Oklahoma (13-9, 4-4) used
a 3-point onslaught to build a
19-point lead just after halftime
but had to hold on from there.

Morris
Self
Sophomore forward Marcus Morris
Morris was again a dominant force inside.
He fnished with 20 points and 11 rebounds,
six of which were on the ofensive end, on
9-of-15 shooting. He torched Nebraska the
last time out, going for 19 points and seven
rebounds, and picked up right where he left
of in the frst half despite foul trouble for
Cole Aldrich and Markief Morris. He shot just
2-of-6 fromthe free throwline, though. Thats
certainly forgettable.
We got some magic powder, some dust
that we can sprinkle on everybodys heads. I
dont think thatll be an issue fromthis point
forward, Ill go out and purchase that.

Cole Aldrich had four
blocks on the night. He has at
least three in 21 of 23 games
this year.

Aldrich combined for just
14 points and 15 rebounds in
two games against Nebraska

one three, and 2-2 fromthe
free throwline.

The Jayhawks went on a 28-5 run
in the second half after the Corn-
huskers took a four-point lead early
after the break, starting with a Sherron Collins three. It was all they
needed to ice the game, despite a late Nebraska comeback.
28-5
1St half (Score
after Play)
18:02- Xavier Henry hits his
second three of the game. Six
points in the frst two minutes
looked good, but only fnished
with nine. (8-5)
13:27- Thomas Robinson
came out of nowhere and
fushed home a missed layup
by Marcus Morris. When hes
making plays like that, you
knowthe Jayhawks are rolling.
(15-9)
8:05-TyshawnTaylor
sprinted after Lance Jeter who
poked the ball away from
Sherron Collins. Jeter made the
layup, but Taylor was in good
enough position to drawthe
ofensive foul. It was all hustle.
(26-21)
2nd half
15:20- Unexpectedly facing
adversity fromthe last-place
teamin the Big 12, Sherron
Collins took it upon himself to
stife Nebraskas 8-2 run to start
the second half with a three.
(42-43)
14:29- It took Cole Aldrich
this long to get his frst bucket
of the game. He grabbed an
ofensive rebound of a Tyrel
Reed miss and laid it in to give
the Jayhawks back the lead.
(44-43)
12:52- Cole Aldrich put on
the snake-a-lake with a one-
hand dunk. The foul just made
it sweeter. (48-44)
5:51- The Jayhawks con-
tinue with a 27-5 run froma
Sherron Collins 3-pointer. It
started with the Collins three
at the 15:20 mark. A Xavier

inconsistent showing
Game to forget
Morningstar
Junior guard Brady Morningstar
Its hard to judge Morningstar on scoring
output, but for a guy to get 22 minutes of
action without fnding a way to score at least
once is disappointing. He was his usual steady
self with four assists to one turnover, but went
0-for-3 fromthe feld and missed his only
3-point attempt.
Weston White/KANSAN
Junior center Cole Aldrich slams a dunk during the second half against Nebraska. Aldrich scored eight points and shot four-for-six fromthe free-throwline. Kansas won 75-64.

BY TIM DWYER

twitter.com/T_Dwyer
Kansas held a 9-point lead early
in the first half, and it looked like
the Jayhawks were well on their
way to dropping the Cornhuskers
in easy fashion.
Then the Cornhuskers cut the
lead down to four at the half. Then
the second half started and they
took a 4-point lead. The Jayhawks
eventually won 75-64, but it took
too many minutes and too much
held breath from the Kansas faith-
ful against a team that calls the
cellar of the Big 12 home.
Its become a recurring theme
with this Kansas
team. As deep
and as talented as
the Jayhawks are,
they have rarely
shown the ability
to jump on the
opposition when
the opportunity
arises.
Nobodys per-
fect, but we still
want to play good
and win big, or
just win, senior guard Sherron
Collins, who had 17 points on the
night, said. We built leads and let
them get back in the game and it
was an ugly game, but it was a win
and we will take it. If we play like
this Monday, we wont come out
with one.
Collins was referring to the
Jayhawks Big Monday matchup
against No. 10 Texas, who lost
at Oklahoma early Saturday. The
Longhorns are one of the few
teams in the country that has the
depth and talent to match Kansas,
and if the Jayhawks dont take
every opportunity to build a lead
Monday, they likely wont have
the same luck they did against the
Cornhuskers.
Coach Bill Self has a plan,
though.
We got some magic powder,
some dust that we can sprinkle
on everybodys heads, he said. I
dont think thatll be an issue from
this point forward, Ill go out and
purchase that.
Kidding aside, its a problem that
the Jayhawks need to solve, but no
one seems to have an answer as to
how they can do it. Collins said it
isnt something the coaches have
too much power over.
Its sort of a killer instinct.
When youve got somebody
down, youve got to step on their
throats, Collins said. Its us, it
aint nothing to do with coach. Its
something that weve got to do as
players. Coach does
a good job of coach-
ing us and getting
us prepared for the
game, weve just got
to go out there and
play like we want it.
Sophomore for-
ward Marcus Morris
was again the best
player on the floor
for the Jayhawks
on Saturday with
20 points and 11
rebounds for his sixth double-
double. Count him among the
troops that knew they needed to
develop a killer instinct, but didnt
offer a plan as to how.
Weve just got to keep going
as hard as we did when we first
came out, Morris said. I felt like
we came out really strong at first,
and then we started to let up on
them.
Collins said there is one thing
that always keeps the team moti-
vated.
No, we just have to look at
coach on the sidelines to wake
us up. We just do not want to get
chewed out, Collins said.

Nebraska coach Doc Sadler yells during the second half. Kansas defeated Nebraska
Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse, 75-64.
When you've got
somebody down,
you've got to step

SHERRON COLLINS
Senior guard
minutes about as well as weve
played any other time in the second
half.
Collins, who finished with 17
points and six assists, said the key
was just the energy factor.
I think the crowd always has
something to do with it, Collins
said. I think the other 50 percent
of that is we just woke up.
Junior center Cole Aldrich spent
only five minutes on the court in
the first half after two early fouls.
Freshman center Jeff Withey filled
in admirably with four points, six
rebounds and two blocks.
Freshman forward Thomas
Robinson had trouble, getting three
fouls in only six minutes, but did
have a flashy dunk off a Marcus
Morris miss. The second half was all
Aldrich finishing with eight points,
six rebounds and four blocks.
He hated what he saw from the
bench.
That may have been the dumb-
est we played in quite a while,
Aldrich said.
Turnovers and the rebound dif-
ferential against a smaller team
didnt sit well for any of the big men.
Morris, who finished with a team-
high 20 points and 11 rebounds,
said they fell into Nebraskas game
plan.
They sped us up and we played
into their hands, he said.
The Jayhawks have a quick turn-
around when they face the Texas
Longhorns on Monday. If they
throw out everything except the
28-5 run, Aldrich said his team
should be fine.
Its going to take an effort like
the way we played in that little
stretch down in Austin on Monday
to come out with a victory, he said.

McCray as an assistant coach
With her career at Kansas done, McCray settled
onto the bench against K-State with a note pad and
pencil and took notes on what she wanted to tell
her teammates during every huddle. The advice
the Jayhawks received from their fallen teammate
not only helped them against the Wildcats, but will
likely serve a pivotal role in the rest of the season as
Kansas will need McCray to lead from the sideline
even more as the season progresses.
Monica Engelman
Despite an array of impressive performances from
the Jayhawks last Sunday, theres really no contest
here. Freshman guard Monica Engelman, making
her frst start of her short career, turned in three
career highs against the Wildcats. She was the only
Jayhawk to spend all 40 minutes on the foor, a ca-
reer high. She used that time efciently to score 16
points and earn four assists, which were also career
highs.
BY ANDREW TAYLOR
ataylor@kansan.com
Kansas is by no means a bet-
ter team without senior guard
Danielle McCray, who is out for
the season with an ACL injury.
But as Sundays 70-60 victory
against Kansas State revealed, the
Jayhawks may be a stronger team.
Unfortunately, Danielle being
hurt, that kind of helped us out
a lot, senior guard Sade Morris
said. We thought we were going
to go far with her, and we know
people are down that shes out, but
we need to prove
ourselves and
come together and
play.
Take this as
evidence of the
Jayhawks stronger
teamwork. They
earned as many
assists (14) against
the Wildcats as
they did in a Jan.
17 victory against
Missouri. In addi-
tion to that, Kansas
committed only 11 turnovers, a
season low, against K-State.
Aside from the game against
Missouri, Kansas had not earned
that many assists in a game
since the Dec. 30 victory against
Pepperdine, before freshman point
guard Angel Goodrich went down
for the year with a torn ACL.
We all need to be better about
that, and I was surprised that I was
finding people open," freshman
guard Monica Engelman said.
Thats what the team needs, and
everyone, I think, did a good job
of finding the open person today.
Engelman made her first start
of the season against the Wildcats
and not only earned a career high
in points with 16, but also in
assists with five.
Alongside Engelman, Morris,
who is a familiar face in the start-
ing line up, came within one assist
of reaching her previous season
high in assists.
Another convincing sign of the
Jayhawks improved teamwork
is that seven players scored six
or more points,
a feat they had
not accomplished
all season. That
helped guide
Kansas to only
its third 70-point
game in its last
eight contests. In
its first 12 games
of the season the
Jayhawks reached
that mark nine
times.
Bonnie tells
us all the time that one person
cant do it all, freshman forward
Carolyn Davis said, And obvi-
ously the one person who she
talked about is out now. So now
it really means that everyone has
to step up.
Kansas also shot a season-high
56 percent.
I think probably todays game
was as much emotional adversity
as it was just the physical adversity
of not having her on the floor,
K-State coach Deb Patterson said
of McCrays absence. I think this
is a game in which emotion trans-
lated to great execution on their
part.
Part of how far the Jayhawks
can go without McCray this sea-
son will be based on how long
they can continue to play with the
fire and aggression they displayed
against the Wildcats.
I think that its going to carry
us to the end, Davis said. Were
going to see them (McCray and
Goodrich) every day in practice
trying to get better. Every time we
see that were like, We have to do
this for them.

KANSAS 70, KANSAS STATE 60

Reason to hope
McCray
Reason to mope
Lack of ofensive rebounds
Kansas played a fantastic game against K-State. The Jayhawks
earned season highs in more than one category, but they also pulled in
just six ofensive rebounds, a season low. The lack of ofensive boards
is a little surprising given Kansas recent success in the area, earning a
season high just two games ago against Colorado Jan. 27.
Chance Dibben/KANSAN
Freshman guard Monica Engleman pivots around Kansas State guard MariahWhite during the
second half. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 70-60 Sunday afternoon.
WOMEN'S (continued from 1B)
with a career-high 16 points while
adding five assists.
She has the green light now,
McCray said. Youve got to take
over.
Rarely considering the time
left on the shot clock, Engelman
and her teammates charged to the
hoop with a sense of urgency. The
Jayhawks dictated the pace of the
first half with fast breaks and hur-
ried, but intelligent, shots.
Without one of its best shoot-
ers, Kansas instead looked inside
and opted for high-percentage
shots. As a result, Kansas scored
18 points in the paint and shot
54 percent from the field in the
first half.
With a game plan centralized
on bombarding the rim in a hurry,
Kansas led 36-26 at halftime with
seven different players scoring in
the opening 20 minutes.
I think theyll buy into who-
ever is open. Whoever has got a
good shot, Henrickson said.
But despite the conscious
effort to attack the painted area,
Engelman was still firing away. As
the only Jayhawk to play a full 40
minutes, she knocked down rim-
evasive three-point shots, but also
displayed her ability to drive and
score closer to the hoop.
We came out swinging,
Engelman said. Bonnie was tell-
ing us to be the lion and the
aggressor.
As a defender, Engelman exhib-
ited the necessary aggressiveness
to prevent being a liability. She
harassed her assignments by swat-
ting at the ball, jumping around
screens and fighting for rebounds.
I was trying to pressure them
and make them play faster,
Engelman said.
Freshman forward Carolyn
Davis was once again a force in
the paint, using her size to her
advantage on both ends of the
court. Offensively, Davis proper-
ly positioned her overwhelming
frame to create easy angles to the
hoop. Defensively, she stood as
the warden of the paint, clogging
lanes and either blocking or alter-
ing shots. She earned her second
career double double, tallying 14
points and 10 rebounds in just 24
minutes of play.
As an inside-outside tandem,
Davis and Engelman disoriented
the Wildcats defense. The visitors
werent sure where to focus their
attention with Engelman knock-
ing down shots and Davis scoring
in the paint.
Were really close off the court,
Davis said of Engelman. So I
knew she was going to prove her-
self today.
Despite Engelman and Davis
top-notch play, Sundays victory
was made possible by team-wide
contributions. Rallying off of
McCrays injury, the Jayhawks shot
60 percent in the second half and
played passionately in a triumph
they sorely needed.
Using the injury as an alleviat-
ing step rather than a handicap,
Kansas exemplified the meaning
of inspired basketball.
Just because Danielle is out
doesnt mean that the Jayhawks
are going to go downhill, senior
guard Sade Morris said. We felt
like we needed to prove some-
thing.

Stat of the night
That Kansas shooting percentage
against K-State last Sunday. It serves
as a season high for the team and the
most impressive part about it is that the Jayhawks did it without senior
guard Danielle McCray.

I think this is a
game in which
emotion translated

One of the best who ever donned
the crimson and blue ended her
career prematurely. Senior guard
Danielle McCray tore the ACL in
her left knee during Thursday after-
noons practice and will miss the
remainder of the 2009-10 season.
McCray suffered the injury in
the first 15 min-
utes of practice
during a four-
on-four drill the
team runs regu-
larly. The drill
was low in con-
tact, but McCray,
untouched, fell
to the floor and
let out a piercing
scream.
Shes a very strong person, fresh-
man guard Monica Engelman said.
To hear her in pain like that was
overwhelming.
Engelman replaced McCray in the
starting lineup Sunday and looked
the part of a talented impersonator.
She faked the screen and went
baseline for a shot. Thats something
that I would do, McCray said.
As Engelman was scoring,
McCray was acting as scribe. Knee
braced and eyes peeled, McCray sat
in between a row of assistant coaches
and scribbled notes of observation.
I was making sure that at every
media timeout I had something to
say, McCray said.
McCray said that she wanted to
divert the attention from her injury
and fill a new role as teacher.
Moping around isnt going to
change the outcome of anything,
McCray said. I have a new mind-
set. I have to help my teammates
out.
Already carrying the team on her
shoulders, senior guard Sade Morris
must now lead Kansas without her
sharp shooting teammate and dear
friend.
It hurts, Morris said. I thought
about senior day. Thats what you
wait for.
The crushing news is something
that this team has dealt with before.
In a 70-68 loss against Oklahoma
State on Jan. 12th, freshman guard
Angel Goodrich tore the ACL in her
right knee and ended her season.
She tore the ACL in her left knee
during a preseason practice last year
and ended her true freshman sea-
son, forcing her to red-shirt.
Me and Angel had an hour con-
versation last night, McCray said.
We think its going to make us love
the game even more. You never
know how much you miss some-
thing until it is taken from you.
Goodrich will return as a
sophomore next year. As a senior,
McCrays career at Kansas has come
to an end. However Henrickson
feels that there is more to come
from her fallen star.
Shes going to be okay, Kansas
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Shes going to be drafted and play
professionally.
By numbers alone, McCray will
be considered one of the greatest
players in Kansas womens basket-
ball history. She ranks in the top
10 in school history in 10 differ-
ent categories. In 116 games, she
scored 1,934 points (4th all time in
school history). The second team
preseason All-American averaged
19.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per
game this season.
Ive heard from a lot of people,
McCray said. Facebook inbox full.
Phone calls and text messages. I told
my mom that I didnt think that I
was that important. You really dont
know until something happens. Its
cool how many people care about
you.
With the two significant injuries,
Kansas is surely handicapped in skill
and depth. However, the Jayhawks
can also rally around the injuries to
ignite a fire as they did Sunday.
Thats what I love about this
team, McCray said. It makes them
fight even harder.

NFL
Saints march out with title
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NewOrleans Saints quarterback DrewBrees holds the Vince Lombardi Trophy Sunday after the
Super Bowl in Miami. The Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts 31-17.
aSSoCIatED PRESS
MIAMI, Fla. The ultimate
underdogs, they aint. Not any-
more. The Saints are Super Bowl
champions now.
Who Dat? Try Drew Brees,
Sean Payton and a team that has
reversed its embarrassing past,
carrying an entire city to the top
with it.
Put away those paper bags for-
ever.
Brees and the Saints rallied to
upset Peyton Manning and the
Indianapolis Colts 31-17 Sunday
night in one of pro footballs most
thrilling title games.
We just believed in ourselves
and we knew that we had an
entire city and maybe an entire
country behind us, said Brees,
the games MVP. What can I say?
I tried to imagine
what this moment
would be like for
a long time, and
its better than
expected.
But not some-
thing many
expected from
these descendants
of the hapless
Aints, who were
5-point under-
dogs.
Four years ago
who ever thought this would be
happening when 85 percent of
the city was under water from
(Hurricane) Katrina? Brees said.
Most people not knowing if New
Orleans would ever come back or
if the organization and the team
would come back. ... This is the
culmination of that belief and
that faith.
Brees tied a Super Bowl record
with 32 completions, the last a
2-yard slant to Jeremy Shockey
for the winning points with 5:42
remaining. He was 32 for 39 for
288 yards.
A surprise onside kick sparked
the Saints second-half come-
back. Their 25th-ranked defense
made several key stops, and Tracy
Porters 74-yard interception
return on a pass from Manning
clinched it.
Manning tried to give chase,
but was blocked by a New Orleans
defender and fell awkwardly as
the cornerback raced by. The
four-time NFL MVP forlornly
walked to the sideline as the Big
Easy celebrations began.
Its time for the Saints to cel-
ebrate, he said. Its their field
and its their championship.
An NFL also-ran for much of
their 43 years, the Saints foot-
ball renaissance, led by Brees and
Payton, climaxed with Shockeys
touchdown and Lance Moores
2-point conversion catch, origi-
nally ruled incomplete but over-
turned on Paytons challenge.
Porters pick, just as dramatic
as his interception of Brett Favres
pass to force over-
time in the NFC
title game, was
the games only
turnover. Its one
Manning will for-
ever regret.
The Saints
(16-3) won three
postseason games
this winter after
winning only two
in the previous
42 years. They
beat Arizona,
Minnesota and
Indianapolis (16-3) all division
winners for their first title,
scoring 107 points and allowing
only 59.
We werent the Aints, Porter
said. We were a team of destiny, a
team that can make big plays.
The championship came
4 years after Katrina ravaged
New Orleans, making the Saints
nomads for the 2005 season.
There even was some doubt
they would return, but the NFL
refused to abandon the city. The
Superdome was repaired and the
Saints won the NFC South in 06,
their first season with Brees and
Payton.
We knew that
we had an entire
city and maybe
an entire country
behind us .

Noon - 4pm
Jef Withey, freshman center
When Withey is in the game,
he looks good for the most part.
He was very rusty when he frst
got out there but is slowly getting
more comfortable. When Cole Al-
drich left the game early Saturday
because of foul
trouble, Withey
flled in admi-
rably. Withey
is used more
against teams
that have an
extra big man
instead of a
guard, Kansas
Coach Bill Self said after the game,
Texas is a big team and Withey will
expectedly get the toughest task
of his career.

TEXAS
(19-4)
STArTErS
Dogus Balbay, junior guard
Self said Saturday that Dogus Balbay is
probably the best athlete in the Big 12. He
does some things extremely well his 2.7-to-1
assist-to-turnover ratio is the best in the con-
ference but hes not much of a scorer and he
fat-out cannot shoot the ball from distance.
Hes shooting just ten percent behind the arc.

Avery Bradley, freshman guard

Bradley is probably the best freshman in
the country that doesnt play for Kentucky.
Hes really blossomed since conference play
began, opening the Big 12 season with a
29-point outburst against Colorado and
averaging 15.4 points per game. Hes also the
best shooter in the starting fve, hitting 39.2
percent of his threes.

Justin Mason, senior guard

Mason is a Brady Morningstar-type player.
Hes never going to score 20 points and he
probably wont overwhelm anyone with his
numbers, but he does the little things right.
Hes the type of guy coaches love to have on
their team. He averages just 3.7 points per
game, but he protects the ball, turning it over
less than once per game.

Damion James, senior forward

This could be the only game of the regular
season when the Jayhawks dont have the best
player on the foor. James isnt the frontrun-
ner for National Player of the Year, but hes
certainly in the conversation, averaging 18
points and 11 rebounds per game. Hes a
supreme talent anywhere from shooting
guard to power forward.

Dexter Pittman,
senior center
Pittman scored in double
digits in 11 of the Long-
horns frst 14 games. Since
then, hes scored ten or
more in just two of nine
games. Its not the only
reason for the Longhorns
recent slump, but it has
played a major role. If he
can use his prodigious size
against Cole Aldrich, Texas
can pull of the upset.

Sixth Man
Jordan Hamilton,
freshman guard
Hamilton can be the best
player on the Texas roster,
including Damion James.
He also can be mad-
deningly inconsistent.
He poured in 27 points
at Oklahoma State and
almost single-handedly carried the Long-
horns to a 72-60 victory. But in the rest
of the Big 12 season, hes averaged just
over six points per game.

KANSAS
(22-1)
STArTErS
Sherron Collins, senior guard
His 17 points against Nebraska Saturday
were the most since he had 28 against Baylor
on Jan. 20. He continues to lead the Jayhawks
with a 15.6 scoring average and is tied for the
Big 12 lead with an 84.1 free throw percentage.

Brady Morningstar, junior guard

Morningstar hasnt been asked to score a
lot recently, but he is getting open looks to
his teammates. Surprisingly, he ranks second
in the conference with a 2.6 assist-to-turnover
ratio and is seventh with 3.9 assists per game.
Defense is still his forte, but the ability to pen-
etrate and get the ball out on the perimeter is
a bonus.

Xavier Henry, freshman guard

Henry hit two threes in the frst two minutes
of Saturdays game and it looked like he would
fnally break out of his slump. But for whatever
reason, he had three more points the rest of
the game, fnishing with nine. Self said hes
due for a breakout game. What a story it would
be if it was against Texas.

Marcus Morris, sophomore forward

Fresh of his fourth double double of the sea-
son, this will be Morris toughest test yet. He has
been a beast since Big 12 play began, scoring
17.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Texas
has a front court comparable to Kansas, so
Morris will have to continue his strong
defense as well as his ofense.

Cole Aldrich, junior center

Aldrich had his four-game
double double streak end
against Nebraska, but he was
in foul trouble for most of the
game. Aldrich, along with Texas
forward Damion James and
Baylor center Ekpe Udoh, is av-
eraging a double double in the league.
With Dexter Pittman at center, Aldrich is
going to have as much as he can handle.

Sixth Man
Tyshawn Taylor,
sophomore guard
Tyshawn Trivia: Believe it or not, Tay-
lor has a better assist-to-turnover ratio
than Kentuckys freshman phenom,
John Wall. During the most recent
game against Nebraska, Taylor had
the ultimate hustle play, sprinting
full-speed down the court just to
draw an ofensive foul.

Damion James, senior forward

There are a few guys on the
Texas roster who are absolutely
electric, but
James is the best
of the bunch.
Hes a threat
to go for 20
points and/or 15
rebounds every
game he plays
in. Hes not the
best NBA pros-
pect for the Longhorns thats Jor-
dan Hamilton because he doesnt
have a true position at the next
level. Hes too small to be a power
forward, but doesnt yet have the
outside game of a three. It wont
stop him at this level, though. He
can overpower threes and is too
athletic for most fours to cover.

Two weeks ago, this would have
been the game of the season. But
Texas is 2-4 in their last six games
after winning their frst 17. If they
continue this tailspin, they could
play their way out of a top-4 seed
in the NCAA tournament. Dont
expect that to happen, though.
This team is loaded with NBA-
caliber players, and theyll fgure it
out sooner than later. If it happens
to be Monday, the Jayhawks could
be in serious trouble.
James
Which Dexter Pittman shows
up?
If the pre-conference play Pitt-
man shows up, the Jayhawks are in
trouble. With his massive body and
surprising athleticism, hes exactly
the type of player who can make
life difcult for Cole Aldrich and
company in the Jayhawk front-
court. Early in the season he dis-
played a powerful ofensive game,
including a 23-point, 15-rebound
tour-de-force against a solid North
Carolina front line with multiple
NBA prospects. If the Pittman who
managed just fve points and two
rebounds against Connecticut
comes out, Texas will have a heck
of a time trying to pull the upset.
I dont want to take anything
away from Nebraska, but this was
one of those games, Lets get
through this game, so we can get
to that game. I think well go down
there very excited to play.
Bill Self on Saturday after the Jayhawks beat
Nebraska 75-64
Kansas (22-1, 8-0) and Texas
(19-4, 5-3) have been the premiere
teams in the Big 12 for the past
few years. Kansas is 16-6 against
Texas and has won fve of the last
six meetings. The two teams are
perennial contenders in the Big 12
championship, meeting in three of
the last four yearsthe Jayhawks
winning all three. In the past fve
matchups, the games have all
been within 10 points.

Have the Jayhawks over-
looked teams just for this game?
Lets be honest the over-
time victory away at K-State was
expected. The one in Colorado was
a little sketchy, but understand-
able because of how well Colorado
played. But when the Jayhawks
found themselves trailing in the
second half at home to last-place
Nebraska, red fags were raised.
This has been a grueling week for
the Jayhawks, but they may have
been looking past their opponents
for the chance to take on the once
top-ranked Longhorns. Lets see if
they play like it.

This is a big game. We never
look past any opponent, but this is
the one we wanted.
Marcus Morris on what the Texas game
means to Kansas
KEVIN DURANT WILL MISS THE ALL-STAR GAME
...if Texas plays like they are inferior. The Longhorns have lost four
out of their last six games and are fourth in the Big 12, three games
behind Kansas. When the No. 1 team comes to town, if the attitude
is an expected loss then thats what will happen. Most teams that
played well against Kansas had nothing to lose. Texas does.
FRANK ERWIN CENTER WILL RoCK
if Texas plays to their skill-level, not their ranking. Marcus Morris
said he views Texas as a top-10 team no matter what their record
says and his teammates feel the same way. If the Longhorns come
out with the intensity to beat No.1 while not feeling sorry for
themselves, expect another great Kansas/ Texas matchup.
