reusable
bottles
BY BRENNA LONG
blong@kansan.com
The average person disposes
of 168 bottles a year, meaning
on average, KU students and
faculty contribute more than 5
million bottles to landfills each
year. Thats a lot of needless
waste. And two women are on a
mission to change it.
As part of a nationwide
tour called Get Off the (H
2
O)
Bottle, director of the award-
winning film Tapped will
visit Lawrence to raise aware-
ness about the environmental
problems associated with plastic
water bottles. The first 100 stu-
dents to show up at the event
can exchange a plastic water
bottle for a free Klean Kanteen
stainless steel bottle. The bottle
swap starts at 2 p.m. and will
be followed at 3 by a showing of
the film.
Corporate Accountability
International KU, Environs, KU
Recycling and the Center for
Sustainability are sponsoring
the event.
We are stopping at places that
expressed an interest for us to
come, said Stephanie Soechtig,
director of the film. Campuses
are a particularly great place to
stop. Thats the generation that
will do something. They are
more motivated and still believe
they can do something.
The 33-day tour started in San
Diego, on World Water Day and
will end in Greenwich, Conn.,
April 23. Soechtig and Sarah
Olson, the films producer, and
their dog, Fellini, are driving
across the country to get their
message out and fill up their
truck with plastic bottles.
Every bottle exchanged
is tossed into the back. As of
Friday, the truck was carrying
700 bottles; it can hold up to
15,000. Along with collecting
bottles, Soechtig and Olson are
gathering pledges from people to
stop drinking bottled water and
conserve. Soechtig said they had
300 pledges on their web site,
more than 1,000 on Facebook
and endless pages from the road
in all more than 2,000.
There has been an outpour-
ing of support, Soechtig said.
We have double the people we
had reached two weeks ago.

The routine task of choosing a
restroom couldnt have been more
difficult for Matthew Blankers, a
senior from Claremont, Calif. He
says he was born in a womans
body, but as a masculine woman
who was often mistaken for a boy.
Even before he knew it was possible
to be transgender, Blankers noticed
that he acted, dressed, and talked,
in a way that was more masculine
than feminine. Sometimes others
would be alarmed when he would
walk into a womens restroom
the one supposedly for him.
Its always been something thats
created a lot of tension, Blankers
said. It felt really terrible. I was
socialized female, and here I was,
scaring other females.
Three years of testosterone
therapy and one chest-flattening
surgery later, Blankers is able to
choose the mens restroom option,
though he still finds opening that
door difficult. This time, hes not
worried about offending others
hes fearful of being harmed if
someone realizes that hes a trans-
male.
I still feel frightened this
time, but now for myself,
Blankers said. I worry if
someone recognizes me or
knows Im trans, it could
be really, really danger-
ous.
Blankers is part of a
small group of students
conducting a survey
of the bathrooms on
campus, searching for gen-
der-neutral bathrooms.
Blankers ultimately hopes
the University will have at least
one gender-neutral, fully hand-
icap-accessible bathroom in
each campus building. Gender-
neutral bathrooms dont have

Anita Chappuie knew the virus was cours-
ing through her veins as she and 10 others
walked through West Campus. Chappuie, a
junior from Lenexa, tried not to let it show.
To hide her identity, she accused oth-
ers, such as Sam Waldie, a freshman from
Libertyville, Ill., of being zombies.
Nervously, Waldie returned the favor, call-
ing out Anita.
Knowing that the group needed to find
supplies in the woods to help survive the
zombie apocalypse, Waldie and Chappuie
agreed upon a truce. Little did Waldie know,
it was a trap. They shook hands and the virus
was spread.
He initiated the handshake. It was sort of
his bad, Chappuie said.
Waldie was now a zombie.
Humans vs. Zombies had begun.
The new KU group Humans vs. Zombies,
a nationwide role-playing game, had its test
games over the weekend. During the game
the humans try to fulfill missions and objec-
tives armed only with socks and Nerf guns.
Meanwhile, the undead try anything pos-
sible to acquire human flesh.
Co-founder Douglas Hanson said he want-
ed to start the group for students to get out
and about.
We were kind of bored and we wanted
to get something set up to get people out
and moving, said Hanson, a freshman from
Jacksonville.
Waldie, who was sacrificed quickly, said
he wanted to be in the game because he was
a zombie nut.
I love the movies and Zombie Survival
Guide is one of my favorite books, Waldie
said. Zombie simulation game: sign me
up.
Alpha zombie Chappuie also said
she wanted to join the game because
it sounded like a lot of fun. Afterward,
she said the game provided a workout and
good times.
I got more cardio today than I did
all week, Chappuie said.
While the game was most-
ly fun, there were a few
small changes the players
wanted to see implement-
ed in future games. Some

any signs that encourage solely
male or female users, but display
themselves as neutral or gender-free
bathrooms. These restrooms have
signs that only say Bathroom, or
are often displayed as family bath-
rooms.
Blankers found four gender-
neutral bathrooms. Hes currently
searching for more, and hopes to
make a map of all on-campus gen-
der-neutral bathrooms in Twente
Hall.
Every single time I ever have
to go to the bathroom, its some-
thing I think about, Blankers said.
Its important for people who arent
readily perceived as male or female.
As part of an effort to reach out
to the transgendered community,
Queers and Allies will be providing
only gender-neutral bathrooms at all
of its events during this years Pride
Week, which begins today.
Sara Thompson, executive direc-
tor of KU Queers and Allies, said
that at each events, members of
Q&A will place signs outside of
the restrooms that advertise them
as gender-free. She said they wont
cover up the already existing male
or female bathroom signs, but will
acknowledge the fact that anyone
who feels comfortable in is allowed
to use either.
In order to be allowed to convert
the Union restrooms into gender-
neutral restrooms, Q&A had to
receive permission from the Kansas
Memorial Unions staff. Rachel
Gadd-Nelson, educational outreach
coordinator of Q&A, said the union
staff understood the educational
importance of gender-neutral rest-
rooms.
Thompson said the importance of
gender-neutral bathrooms extends
beyond Pride Week.
Its a really big issue for transgen-
dered folk or gender-neutral folk,
said Thompson, a senior from Salina.
It makes society uncomfortable.
But people are people everyone
deserves respect. We want everyone
to feel comfortable.
The bathroom de-classification is
meant to be as much of an educa-
tional tool as it is to offer a practi-
cal solution, Rachel Gadd-Nelson, a
junior from Kansas City, Kan., said.
People who are going into the
bathrooms at our events know what
bathroom theyre going into, and
theyre letting people know, she said.
Its giving them something to think
about.

related to bottled water. Soechtig
was initially inspired to advocate
for reusable water bottles after
learning 1,500 bottles end up in
a landfill every second.
The journey for Soechtig has

crowds some nights only 15
people showed up. But whether
it is 15 or 200, Soechtig said, they

participants thought the pace
was too slow at times. Humans
and zombies alike also wished
the game could have been played
campus-wide, rather than being
restricted to West Campus.
Hanson and co-founder
Sydney Ballesteros wanted to
play the game campus wide, but
KU administrators forced them
to limit the first game to West
Campus, citing safety reasons.
Hanson hoped the game would
be able to expand, possibly only
across the bridge to Daisy Hill,
for their next round.
The group hoped that Nerf
guns also banned by admin-
istrators in the games KU debut
would be allowed for future
games. The group had to resort
to socks as its sole weapons.
Ballesteros, a freshman from
Stafford, Va., said she hoped that
the game would eventually grow
as much as it had at other uni-
versities.
They have a whole entire week
and people get dressed up and it
gets freaking crazy, Ballesteros
said.
Overall, Hanson said the game
was a success and he was satisfied
with how it went.
Everyone had a good time
and there were a lot of laughs,
Hanson said. Thats what we
were really going for.
Hanson said he expected the
next set of games to start some-
time around the first week of
May.

Celebrating Easter at home or away
BY NANCY WOLENS
nwolens@kansan.com
Katy Billups couldnt go home
to celebrate Easter Sunday with
her family. But she didnt let
that stop her from having a day
filled with Easter baskets, church,
brunch and celebrations with her
friends right here in Lawrence.
Billups, a senior from Dallas,
didnt make the trip home
because of the distance and brev-
ity of the holiday weekend. While
some schools cancel classes on
Good Friday or the Monday after
Easter, the University doesnt,
which makes traveling home dif-
ficult for some. Billups said she
doesnt mind not going home for
Easter but she does miss some of
her familys traditions.
I miss waking up and get-
ting Easter baskets, having a good
breakfast and Easter dinner,
Billups said.
Although she wasnt with her
family, her parents did send her
their traditional Easter basket
filled with candy and goodies as
well as some bunny money that
she receives each year to spend
on her own Easter brunch and
dinner merriments.
But some students like Todd
Dorsey, a junior from Overland
Park, are able to drive home and
celebrate with family. Growing
up, my two brothers and I greatly
anticipated a full basket of deli-
cious candy and the Easter egg
hunt every Easter, Dorsey said.
But the holiday isnt just about
easter eggs and family tradition.
Easter Sunday, one of
Christianitys most important
holidays, celebrates Jesus Christs
resurrection from the cross and
marks the end of Lent, the 40-day
period of fasting and prayer lead-
ing up to Easter. Lent, a long-
standing christian tradition, is a
time of reflection, self-depriva-
tion, and penance that symbol-
izes the 40 days Jesus spent in
the desert, as depicted in the
New Testament. During Lent it is
traditional to give up something
that people may do often and find
pleasure in.
Billups knew right away what
she had to give up for Lent.
Her guilty pleasure: the veggie
sandwich and barbecue chips at
Jimmy Johns.
I would go to Jimmy Johns
late at night way too much,
Billups said. It was bad, Billups
said.
After going 40 days with-
out a submarine, she planned to
indulge after going out Saturday
evening. After all, Lent officially
ended at midnight Saturday.
Instead of giving up a thing,
Dorsey gave up time.
He chose to use his free time, or
the time he spent doing things he
enjoys, to help others by serving
meals at Jubilee Caf, a restau-
rant-style meal service for the
needy or homeless.
Dorsey said it was difficult to
stick with because the
meal service at
Jubilee Caf
begins at
5:30 a.m. and lasts for about three
hours.
With school, work and life it
makes it tough to get up that early
consistently, Dorsey said.

For the next 18 months, stu-
dents will see construction work-
ers and contractors on campus,
but they probably wont notice any
obvious changes being made.
The University entered into a
$25 million energy-saving contract
that will focus on improvements in
heating, lighting, ventilation and
water usage in 56 campus build-
ings. The University will work in
conjunction with
Energy Solutions
Professionals of
Overland Park in
a project estimated
to save $2 million
annually, said Scott
McVey, KU energy
conservation and
utility manager.
The project
has essentially just
begun, McVey
said. A lot of it is
in the planning stage.
The lighting projects have slow-
ly started to flicker across cam-
pus. When finished, the lighting
change from 32 to 28 watt bulbs
and the installation of some auto-
matic sensors will cost $2 million.
So far, bulbs in Smith, Wesley
and Fraser halls has been replaced.
Lighting renovations in the
Spencer Museum of Art, Watson
Library and Spooner, Dyke, Bailey
and Blake halls will be completed
in the next three weeks, McVey
said.
Plumbing changes are starting
as well. Low-flow toilets, which
use only one quart of water, will
replace the units that use three to
four gallons a flush.
McVey said the more signifi-
cant changes were being made in
Malott and Haworth.
Three weekends ago, in prepa-
ration for the work, leaky valves
were replaced to help aid the
installation of a dozen new air-
handling units, which will greatly
improve energy efficiency.
Also in the contract is an aware-
ness program expected to save
$200,000 a year. Starting with
departments on campus, Energy
Solutions Professionals are evalu-
ating offices after
hours to look for
ways to save energy,
such as turning off
the computers, said
Jeff Severin, direc-
tor of the Center of
Sustainability. ESP
will follow up with
the departments to
show them ways to
better reduce energy
waste. The program
will focus more on
departments, but students who
work on campus can take notice as
well, Severin said.
The average student will have
more of a role in the classroom,
Severin said. Students help by
just noticing if there are lights on
in an unoccupied classroom, turn-
ing them off if they are the last one
to leave the room, or even giving a
gentle reminder to the professor
to turn off the computer and lights
when they leave.
Even though the changes will be
made in a year and a half, Energy
Solutions Professionals will track
and record the improvements for
15 years.

This years senior class gift
promises to leave an imprint at
the University, even if it has a high
cost.
This year, instead of sell-
ing T-shirts to raise money for
the senior class gift, the senior
class and the Kansas University
Endowment Association are sell-
ing personalized bricks to form
the Class Legacy Walk. It will be
a walkway along the north side
of the Ambler Student Recreation
Center.
It allows students a place where
they can have their name perma-
nently on campus, said senior class
vice president Matt Enriquez.
Enriquez, a senior from Topeka,
said the senior class advisory
board decided against the tradi-
tional route of selling T-shirts in
hopes that this would draw in
more money.
You can really only make
so much money with T-shirts,
Enriquez said. We usually only
make $2,000 to $4,000 maybe.
The money from the walkway
will go toward the actual class
gift, which is a scholarship fund
set up through the Endowment
Association.
Sarah Phillips, assistant director
of annual giving at the Endowment
Association, said the specifics of
the scholarship, such as qualifica-
tions and monetary amounts, have
not been decided and will depend
on the amount raised through
brick sales.
A 4-by-8 inch brick will cost
$90 and has room for three lines
of text. Each line can contain up
to 15 characters. An 8-by-8 inch
brick goes for $250 and includes
six lines of text.
For some seniors, those prices
make contributing to the class gift
out of reach.
I dont think Id even consider
buying one, said Fritz Helbert, a
senior from Topeka. It just seems
too expensive.
Helbert said he has never been
that interested in the senior gifts,
but he said T-shirts would at least
be a little more affordable.
Enriquez and Phillips said they
hoped adding bricks to the walk-
way will become a new tradition
for senior gifts of future classes;
the next three or four classes
can add their bricks until the
walkway is complete.
We are really trying to stress
that it will continually give back
to KU students, Enriquez said.
The brick order form can be
found online at www.kuendow-
ment.org.

HISToRY of
EASTER TRADITIoNS
Todd Dorsey, a junior from Over-
land Park, said he grew up hunting for
candy-flled eggs on Easter. He was used to
the commercialized jelly beans, plastic baskets
and chocolate bunnies. But, until he looked into it,
never really knew why it was a part of easter.
Originally the egg was a symbol of the rebirth of the
earth in celebrations of spring and was adopted by early
christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus, Dorsey
said.
According to History.com the use of Easter eggs is traced
back to pagan traditions. The word Easter originates from Eo-
stre, believed to be the goddess of spring and fertility. For some
christians, the egg, an age-old icon for new life, represents
Jesus resurrection.
The origin of the Easter bunny delivering baskets to children
is uncertain. The rabbit represents fertility and new life and is
said to have been introduced in America in the 1700s by Ger-
man immigrants.
The Germans had a tradition with an egg-laying hare
called Osterhase or Oschter Haws where children
would assemble nests where the animal could lay its
eggs. That ritual dispersed and, as the years
went on, was transformed into what it
is today; decorated baskets, replac-
ing the nest, flled with colored
eggs, candy and gifts.
The project has
essentially just
begun. A lot of it
is in the planning
stage.

Mcclatchy-tribune
LOS ANGELES _ Amid an
atmosphere of carefully cul-
tivated euphoria, Apple fans
across the country waited in lines
Saturday morning, excited to get
their hands on the first of Apple
Inc.s new iPad tablet computers.
Its a new member of the fam-
ily, said Pat Fallis, a Burbank
producer who, along with his
wife and a friend, had been wait-
ing at the Grove in Los Angeles
since 2 a.m.
When Fallis was finally allowed
into the store, blue-shirted Apple
employees greeted him and other
customers as though they were
football players taking the field
at the Super Bowl, with choreo-
graphed whoops, applause and
high-fives.
The much-hyped iPad went on
sale nationwide Saturday morn-
ing, and buyers queued up at the
companys flagship stores in cities
including San Francisco, Boston
and New York. Prospective buy-
ers offered real-time play-by-
play from outside the stores via
Twitter and Facebook.
Wow. Line at the Apple store
for the iPad is up the block,
around the corner, and half-
way down that block, wrote
San Francisco Twitter user Sean
Neprud.
But many line-averse Apple
fans opted to order their iPads
online, and at some lesser-known
stores, it was business as usual.
No line, reported anoth-
er Twitter user named cam-
eleon1267, from Oakbrook, Ill.
Took me 10 min to leave with
an ipad :)!
Apple did not offer early
sales numbers, but analysts at
El Segundo-based research com-
pany iSuppli Corp. expected the
company to sell 7 million of the
devices this year, with that num-
ber tripling by 2012.
Apple, the Cupertino-based
maker of the best-selling iPod
and iPhone devices, has sought
to portray the iPad as a next-
generation computing and media
station. Without a keyboard or
a mouse, the flat
tablet is essential-
ly a large touch-
screen slate that
users tap and press
to open windows
and interact with
on-screen objects.
It is designed to
offer most types of
media _ television,
books, games,
music, Web pages
_ as well as com-
munications features such as
e-mail and Twitter.
At the Grove, the Apple store
quickly filled with buyers who
were ushered to shelves full of
iPads, then on to checkout areas.
Store clerks were armed with spe-
cial infrared iPhones that allowed
them to quickly scan and ring up
purchases.
New iPad owners were shown
how to log in to the devices to
begin surfing
the Web, receiv-
ing e-mail and
playing with
the iPads appli-
cations.
The mod-
els on sale this
week are Wi-Fi
equipped and
start at $499.
Apple will
release a more
expensive line
of 3G cellular iPads later this
month, which will cost as much
as $829 and offer a wireless data
plan from AT&T for up to $30
per month.
The chance to be one of the
iPads original owners attracted
many Apple die-hards. Eli Matar,
a jeweler from Los Angeles, wore
a shirt that said, Im a Mac,
a reference to Apples series of
pro-Mac, anti-PC commercials.
Matar was holding his Maltese
named Muffy, who wore a tiny
dog shirt that read, Im a Mac
too!
Although the lines and online
buzz indicated early interest in
the device, analysts said the true
test would come after the initial
hype died down.
We have to weed through all
the Apple-philes to see whats
what, said Francis Sideco, an
analyst at iSuppli. What will
really tell us how its going is how
it sustains itself after this initial
wave.
Customers wait in line for release of iPad
What will really tell
us how its going

Sheens departure may
be ploy for more cash
AssociAted Press
LOS ANGELES Charlie Sheen
is having some trouble lying low.
Thursday brought more confu-
sion to the already tumultuous saga
of the "Two and a Half Men" star,
who's awaiting trial for allegedly
threatening his wife at knifepoint.
People.com reported that Sheen is
set to walk from the top-rated CBS
comedy after taping on the seventh
season wraps this month.
"Charlie's just done," someone
identified as a "set source" told
People.
Sheen's publicist, however, isn't
exactly confirming that. "Charlie's
deal is only through this cur-
rent season," Stan Rosenfield told
People.
So what's going on? With Sheen,
it's always hard to tell. But it may
be just one big negotiating ploy.
Warner Bros., the studio that
makes the show, recently tried to
re-up the star's contract. But Access
Hollywood says Sheen balked at
an offer to raise his salary from
nearly $1 million a figure that
already makes him among the best-
compensated actors on TV to
$1.2 million per episode. His ask?
A cool $2 million, according to the
report.

I
ve talked about the orgasm
before. The female orgasm
was difficult enough, but as
a woman, writing about the male
orgasm is an even bigger challenge.
But its too important to ignore.
When I told my friends I was
writing about the male orgasm, the
first reactions were Youll be done
in one paragraph and What is
there to talk about? Stick it in and
wait for it.
Actually, theres a lot more to
male orgasms than most people
think. Many men suffer from erec-
tile problems, but too many dont
like to talk about it or deal with it.
Being unable to please a woman
and function properly in bed is
still socially unacceptable and may
be embarrassing for some. Yet,
the Mayo Clinic found that one in
three men experience problems
with premature ejaculation at some
point in their life. This is especially
common among younger males.
Although there are numerous
treatment options for premature
ejaculation, including surgery and
medications, lets not go that far.
Most problems have a psychologi-
cal and behavioral cause. Common
options include:
Intimacy: A 1999 study in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association found that men who
are in uncommitted relationships
reported more erectile problems
than those who are in satisfactory,
stable relationships. Also, married
men have fewer erectile problems
than non-married men. No rea-
son to run to the next church, but
try working on your relationship
if youre not happy with it. Your
sex life and overall well being will
benefit.
Cognitive restructuring:
Cognitive restructuring, a popular
method in sex therapy, involves
changing internal, automatic
thoughts that can prevent sexual
arousal or orgasms, especially if
you are stressed or worried. Since
change of habits and reflexes take
time, practice makes perfect. Try
consulting a professional for the
right method for you.
Techniques: There are many
ways to last longer, but again, only
frequent practice will work most
effectively. Try some of the fol-
lowing techniques: Squeeze tech-
nique. During sex, try squeezing
the end of your penis between the
head and shaft for a few seconds
and let go. Repeat if you need to.
Or you could masturbate longer.
Stop before you go and take a quick
pause, then resume and try to do
that for at least ten minutes. Kegel
exercises work to strengthen your
muscles. Try by stopping and start-
ing your urine flow. When youve
done that a few times, you should
be able to practice this muscle
training without urination and
during sex. Finally, work to extend
foreplay and move slower during
sex. But first, try out which tech-
niques work best for you.
Drugs: Stay away from alco-
hol, marijuana or other substance
abuse. Studies show that men
who drink alcohol or smoke weed
regularly are much more likely to
have sexual arousal or ejaculation
problems.
Sex education and sexual
sensitivity: Learn about the
basics of the human body and
sex. Explore whatever you can.
Knowledge wont hurt and you can
often benefit from learning more
about your body, your partners
body and how to maximize plea-
sure.
Communication: Youve
heard it before, Im sure. Talking
honestly with your partner about
your wishes, concerns and desires
is not only important to keep the
relationship alive, but also solves
sexual problems and dissatisfac-
tion. Vaughn S. Millner, professor
of Interdisciplinary Studies and
licensed counselor, links commu-
nication among partners directly
to more pleasurable sexual experi-
ences. After all, how should your
partner know what you like when
you dont tell her?

O
ur neighbors in Colo-
rado just passed a law
banning gender rating
in health insurance and, in
this case, we should follow their
lead.
Gender rating, which is the
practice of charging people
diferent rates based solely on
their sex, is still legal in 37
states, including Kansas. Te
recent health care reform will
outlaw this practice nationwide,
but the change wont go into full
efect until 2014.
Tose four years are long
enough to get a college degree.
Tey are also long enough to go
broke paying for unreasonable
insurance rates.
According to the 2009
report Still Nowhere To Turn,
from the non-proft National
Womens Law Center, the
number of health insurance
companies practicing gender
rating has increased from 93
percent to 95 percent since
2008. Businesses that employ
more women than men can be
charged more for their group
insurance plans. And, up until
April 2009, Arkansas actually
allowed insurance companies to
use a history of domestic abuse
to deny coverage to women.
Te problem also falls close to
home: All of the best-selling in-
surance plans in Kansas practice
gender rating. Sixty percent of
those plans charge non-smoking
women a higher coverage rate
than smoking men of the same
age. Te diference in these rates
varies from six to 34 percent.
Lets get this straight: A man
who has a habit linked to every-
thing from heart disease to lung
cancer usually pays less for his
health care than a woman who
keeps herself healthy. And these
plans dont include specialty
womens care, which is the only
semi-plausible explanation for
increased costs between gen-
ders. Even then, there are plenty
of men-only medical proce-
dures, such as those related to
prostate issues, which counter-
balance that excuse.
Tis is an even bigger deal for
college-age women. At age 25,
the diference in charges can be
as high as 84 percent in some
states, and they still exclude ma-
ternity coverage. Some students
are lucky enough to be on their
parents insurance plans, and
with the health care bill increas-
ing the eligibility age to 26 (if
you are unmarried), that may
come to be a larger chunk of the
student body.
But there are still plenty of
students whose parents cant
aford the extra dependents.
And even if youre over the
discrimination peak age of 25,
things arent very pretty. Only
13 percent of plans for 30-year-
old women provide maternity
coverage.
So why should we have to put
up with this for four more years?
We dont have to. Tirteen
states have already taken the
initiative to ban gender rat-
ing. Teres no reason Kansas
shouldnt be next. Te Univer-
sity enrolls more than 30,000. If
every one of us wrote a letter to
state representatives, the sheer
number couldnt be ignored.
But thats not the only way to
get involved. Bring the topic up
in your womens studies classes,
your law classes or even in your
bowling classes. Spread the
word. Start a petition. I came to
the University because Jayhawks
make change happen. And right
now, we need it more than ever.

Ever heard of a kidney going bad because you smoked too much
weed? Ever heard of going to the hospital over a pot brownie
overdose? The only bad thing about weed is that it is illegal, which
causes people to get it in not so good ways.
Ajacks88 in response to Protesters say pot is safer
alternative on April 2.
If somebody has decided that they are going to do something
that violates a law to the degree that murder does, the fact that it is
illegal is not going to stop them. People are too fearful of guns and
too trusting of authority figures.

I have tolerance toward atheists. Maybe others should have some
tolerance toward people who believe in any sort of religion and
think that its wonderful having something to believe in.

W
hatever letter of
LGBTQIA (Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, Queer/Questioning,
Intersex, Ally) best represents you,
this week is the time to embrace it.
Pride Week has become a tradi-
tion at the University, started by the
student group Queers and Allies
20 years ago. It is a chance for the
community to come out, join
together as a group and celebrate.
Sara Thompson, president of
Queers and Allies, said it is a week
of education and awareness. It is
a way of saying, Were here, were
queer, and were not going away.
This year, the group is starting
something that hasnt been done
during Pride Week before. At all
of this weeks events, there will be
gender-neutral signs set up in place
of mens and womens segregated
restrooms.
Kellen Bolt, Pride Week coor-
dinator, said the goal is to make
the people who are transitioning
feel more comfortable and more
accepted.
The addition of gender neutral
bathrooms is a step forward in
fighting against gender discrimina-
tion, which the city of Lawrence
has not been fully supportive of.
Pride Week has contributed to
the development of gender equality,
but the challenge isnt overcome.
While weve made huge
advancements in LGBT movement
there is still a lot of work left to be
done, Bolt said.
Recently, a Mississippi high
school prom was canceled because
a female student wanted to bring
her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo.
On Wednesday night Pride Prom
will be a safe space to show how
wrong this discrimination is.
Students and faculty should
be excited to participate, starting
today with the kiss-in. This is a way
to be visible and raise awareness of
the hatred and fear that still exists.
Allies to the community should
also show support by participating
at the kiss-in.
Bolt said all of the events this
week are worth going to. But he
said that if you had time for one
event, make it the Vogue Evolution
performance. This group is the first
openly gay team to be on Americas
Best Dance Crew. They practice
a style of dance called voguing,
which has been in the LGBT cul-
ture since the Harlem Renaissance.
Perhaps the most important role
this week serves is that it creates
an opportunity to ask questions. If
something makes you uncomfort-
able, be open to understanding why
that is and work toward acceptance.
Tolerance shouldnt be limited
to this week; the ideas that inspire
Pride Week should be something
the community strives for all year.
Starting today, celebrate coming
out, celebrate being who you are
and celebrate with pride.

As she sits in the grass with her
guitar in her lap, Lisa Donnelly,
a 2002 graduate, sings the chorus
of one of her most popular songs,
called Laugh, which is featured in
a Tang commercial in Brazil. The
song encompasses Donnellys out-
look on life: the belief that laughter
can get her through anything.
After graduating from the
University with a degree in psychol-
ogy, Donnelly moved to Los Angeles
to follow her dreams of becoming a
singer not for the fame, she said,
but for the passion that she had to
make intelligent music. After a few
gigs in bands, she put out a solo
album last year. Shes also in a band
called Foxxglove with former KU
student Bevin Hamilton, who is an
actress and singer in Los Angeles.
Both Hamilton and Donnelly are
big fans of Lawrence, as they both
started their musical careers while
at the University. Hamilton got her
start in music playing in a local
band at the Bottleneck and other
bars around town.
Hamilton and Donnelly col-
laborate musically in Los Angeles
and just returned from performing
in Austin, Texas, at the South by
Southwest music festival.
I think Lisas voice is absolutely
amazing, Hamilton said.
Donnelly got her start in music
when she began singing for a
blues band that frequented the bar
Brownbear, which no longer exists,
where she worked in Lawrence
during college. Donnelly sang with
them for a year.
A few months later, she went to
Spain to study abroad for the spring
and summer semesters.
I had so many musical experi-
ences in Spain, she said. I really
decided when I was there that I
would try to start writing songs.
When she returned to Lawrence,
Donnelly formed a band with other
students. She wrote her first song,
called Peace of Mind, and per-
formed it in her psychology lecture,
a class taught by Stephen Ilardi,
associate professor of psychology.
Donnelly said Ilardi was very
supportive of her music. He told
her if music was her dream, to do
that first, before doing anything she
was supposed to do after college.
Taking his advice, she packed up
her car and made the move to the
west coast where she would have a
better opportunity to network and
take her singing career.
In 2009, she released her debut
solo album, called We had a
Thing, with the help of investors.
Donnelly said the songs on the
album are mainly about life, and
her own experiences falling down
and getting back up in her 20s.
You have to have a natural
strength to follow your dreams,
she said.
Donnelly said she often had little
moments of feeling successful. She
once received an e-mail from a fan
who was battling cancer and told
her that her music helped her get
through it.
Donnelly came home last week,
topping her visit off with a perfor-
mance at the Jazzhaus Thursday.
What I like most about her is
that she has stayed true to roots.
She is very much her own art-
ist, Hamilton said. Her record is
totally a reflection of her heart,
travels and soul.

ASSOCIAted PreSS
LOS ANGELES A strong
earthquake south of the U.S.-
Mexico border Sunday shook
high-rises in downtown Los
Angeles and San Diego and was
felt across Southern California
and Arizona, but there were no
immediate reports of major dam-
age.
The 6.9 magni-
tude quake struck
at 3:40 p.m. in
Baja California,
Mexico, about
19 miles south-
east of Mexicali,
according to the
U.S. Geological
Survey. The area
was hit by mag-
nitude 3.0 quakes
all week.
The quake was
felt as far north as Santa Barbara,
USGS seismologist Susan Potter
said.
Strong shaking was report-
ed in the Coachella Valley and
Riverside, Calif. The earthquake
rattled buildings on the west
side of Los Angeles and in the
San Fernando Valley, interrupt-
ing Easter dinners. Chandeliers
swayed and wine jiggled in glass-
es.
In Los Angeles, the city fire
department went on earthquake
status and some stalled elevators
were reported. No damage was
reported in Los Angeles or San
Diego.
In the Phoenix area, Jacqueline
Land said her king-sized bed in
her second-floor apartment felt
like a boat gently swaying on the
ocean.
I thought to myself, that cant
be an earthquake, Im in Arizona,
the Northern California native
said. And I thought, oh my God
I feel like Im 9
years old.
A police dis-
patcher in Yuma,
Ariz. said the
quake was very
strong there, but
no damage was
reported. The
Yuma County
Sheriff s Office
had gotten a few
calls, mostly from
alarm companies
because of alarms going off.
Mike Wong, who works at a
journalism school in downtown
Phoenix, said he was in his sec-
ond-floor office getting some
work done Sunday afternoon
when he heard sounds and felt
the building start to sway.
I heard some cracking sounds,
like Rice Krispies, he said. I
didnt think much of it, but I kept
hearing it, and then I started feel-
ing a shake. I thought, You know
what? I think that might be an
earthquake.

Smith is used to learning on the
fly and hes used to doing so at
an accelerated rate.
Last season he had his red-
shirt pulled in the sixth game,
leaving Smith
to gain expe-
rience against
the explosive
passing offens-
es of Texas and
Texas Tech.
Now Smith
and his team-
mates are being
asked to adjust
quickly once more. With a new
coaching staff, the Jayhawks are
spending the early portions of
spring practice simply learning
a new football
vocabulary.
We just have
to take some
of the bullets
that have been
thrown at us
right now, Smith
said.
Each coach-
ing staff, regard-
less of similari-
ties in styles or
schemes, carries
a unique set of
lingo used to describe certain
plays or techniques.
Right now, with only five prac-
tices completed, the Jayhawks
are still learning coach Turner
Gills terminology an adjust-
ment Smith described as pretty
difficult.
Its just terminology, Gill
said. I guess we have some simi-
lar plays to what theyve done
last year but were calling them
something different so its not
going to automatically react.
For Gill, the difference
between reacting and thinking
represents the most noticeable
handicap when learning new
terminology.
Instead of possessing a
second-natured understand-
ing of the words that allows
the Jayhawks to quickly react,
players are forced to think
of the lingos meaning before
making a play.
Gill said the Jayhawks prob-
ably wont develop that comfort
level until preseason practices in
the fall.
When it
comes to the
point where they
just react and not
think, Gill said,
then theyll be
able to go out on
their own and
perform at the
highest level that
they can.
Because that
most likely wont
happen dur-
ing the spring, Gill and the rest
of his staff are evaluating these
early practices through a slightly

After two weeks of Big 12 play,
Kansas (16-19, 0-4) is still looking
for a conference victory after No.
17 Texas swept Kansas at home
7-0 and 6-2 over the weekend.
Kansas knew going in Texas
had a good pitcher, and freshman
Blaire Luna didnt disappoint. She
had two great outings and pitched
13.1 innings, giving up just four
hits and no runs.
Shes very, very good at what
she does, sophomore infielder
Marissa Ingle said. She throws
balls well and placed the ball well
against out batters.
Coach Megan Smith said
Luna was a good pitcher, but the
Jayhawks inability to hit had a
part in her stat sheet.
Offensively we just didnt
make the adjustments we needed
to make to be successful, Smith
said. Shes certainly not as good
as we made her look.
Ingle agreed with Smith that
the team didnt make adjustments,
and also said Kansas needed to
keep working on the fundamen-
tals.
We needed to focus on mak-
ing routine hits instead of swing-
ing for the fences, Ingle said. We
need to do our thing instead of
trying too hard.
While Kansas lost the series,
freshman outfielder Rosie Hull
said losses like that dont deflate
the team.
We cant get down on our-
selves too much, otherwise, it
wouldnt be fun anymore, Hull
said. Texas is a good team, and
we have to acknowledge that and
turn the page.
Ingle said the Jayhawks try to
use losses to analyze its game and
get better.
We think about the positives
of each game and take that to the
next one, and try to get better,

COMMENTARY

After two games that came down to the
wire on Thursday and Friday, the Jayhawks
series finale on Saturday seemed headed for
a similar finish.
In an instant, the extra innings contest
between Kansas (18-10-1, 3-2-1) and No.
22 Texas A&M was over. The game that
seemed headed for the most dramatic end
of all three instead ended in anticlimactic
fashion as the game was ruled an 8-8 tie
because of the Aggies travel plans.
Its an awful way to end this series, espe-
cially when it was as highly competitive as
this series has been, coach Ritch Price said
of his third career tie. One of the great
things about our sport is that we dont have
ties. Its not hockey. So its a weird feeling.
The Jayhawk players were more vis-
ibly disappointed by the abrupt end to the
series.
It feels like a loss, to be honest, junior
left fielder Jimmy Waters said.
Kansas has been making a habit of close
games lately, which continued Thursday as
it nearly saw a six-run lead disappear to a
A&M rally, but the Jayhawks hung on for
a 9-5 win. The trend continued on Friday
in a 6-4 setback, with the Jayhawks being
the club to make late noise, but come up
just short.
The disappointment for Kansas was punc-
tuated by the series finale on Saturday.
The Jayhawks looked to be cruising
toward victory from the first inning on,
after junior center fielder Brian Heere got
them started with a two-run home run to
right field.
Even after A&M rallied to take the lead
3-2 in the fifth, Kansas quickly answered
back. After an RBI single by senior sec-
ond baseman Robby Price, Waters belted
a bases clearing double to deep left field,
which gave the Jayhawks a 6-3 lead.
With freshman Tanner Poppe looking
untouchable from the mound in the sixth
and seventh, the lead appeared it would be
enough for a Jayhawk victory.
But the Aggies battered Poppe for four
runs in the eighth to erase the Jayhawks
lead and take a 7-6 edge.
Waters said that it falls upon everyone
hitters and pitchers equally to show a
killer instinct late in the game.
Weve got to find a way to put people
away, Waters said. Weve been doing it all
week, and its kind of getting annoying at
this point.
The Jayhawks rallied to tie the game with
two outs in the ninth on an RBI single by

W
hen last season started
to fall apart when the
Jayhawks lost seven con-
secutive games before coach Mark
Mangino resigned under pressure
fans and media members tried to
locate the heart of Kansas problems.
And there were certainly plenty of
available culprits.
The Jayhawks were plagued by
costly turnovers. They couldnt make
crucial defensive stops in games.
And they didnt develop any rhythm
offensively.
But those problems only served as
pieces to the larger issue at hand.
The Jayhawks simply didnt have
game-changers last season, and they
struggled because of it.
On the surface, Kansas seemed
loaded with potential playmakers.
The Jayhawks returned proven veter-
ans Todd Reesing, Jake Sharp, Kerry
Meier and Dezmon Briscoe.
At times, each one of those play-
ers showed flashes. But the Jayhawks
never received consistent, game-
changing plays from that cast, and
they rarely received the big play in
the games big moment last year.
In the sixth game of the season
at Colorado, Reesing floated a deep
pass to Briscoe as the clock expired.
Briscoe jumped above Colorados
defenders, grabbed the ball high
in the air, but had it knocked away
when he fell to the ground.
Kansas lost 34-30 in the first of
seven consecutive defeats.
I was real close actually, Briscoe
said after the game. I had the ball,
came down and the guys helmet hit
it. He was in the right position. They
came to play; we didnt.
As Kansas season progressed,
Briscoes words seemed increasingly
relevant.
The Jayhawks had plenty of chanc-
es last season. But in the deciding
moments of games in the moments
when a teams best players usually
step forward the Jayhawks were
often stood up.
Now as Kansas enters the middle
of spring practices under new
coach Turner Gill, the Jayhawks will
attempt to find those decisive, game-
changing players that were often
missing last year.
We hopefully can find two to
three guys, so-called playmakers,
Gill said. When you need a play to
be made on defense, somebody on
that defense is going to make that
play.
The Jayhawks appear to have
options on both sides of the ball.
Freshman wide receiver Bradley
McDougald arrived at Kansas as a
highly regarded recruit and showed
bursts of explosiveness. Freshman
Toben Opurum plowed through
and bounced off defenders last
season in leading Kansas with 554
rushing yards.
Defensively, freshman safety
Lubbock Smith proved to be a tena-
cious tackler, while junior defensive
end Jake Laptad led the Jayhawks
with 6.5 sacks.
Now the job of identifying and
cultivating those playmakers rests
with Gill and his staff.
If a guy in practice is consistently
making plays over and over again,
youre going to notice that, Gill said.
And thats what you want to see.
Most importantly, thats what the
Jayhawks need to win games this
season.

W
hen Butler faces off against
Duke in the national cham-
pionship game tonight, we
should take in this moment because we
may not (and probably wont) ever see
anything like this again. The NCAA is
contemplating a serious push for greed
I mean expansion to the NCAA tour-
nament field from 65 teams to a gaudy
96-team field.
In tonights game you will see what the
beauty of college basketball is all about
and why expansion is a horrible idea.
Butler, coming out of the Horizon League
of all places, play at its home, the host
city Indianapolis. They will be going up
against arguably one of the greatest col-
lege basketball programs in history the
Duke Blue Devils.
If this idea of expansion does come to
life, the chances of a Duke-Butler title
game would be very small. Under the
96-team format the tournament would
give automatic bids to the top 32 teams
and the rest of the 64 entrants would have
to play their way in. I may be nave, but
why is the NCAA going to reward a team
like Texas Tech, who under the current
format would be considered a bubble
team for the NIT, by making them a
tournament team?
This the NCAAs version of No Child
Left Behind. I like to call this No Team
Left Behind.
No longer will we see teams like
Virginia Tech, Mississippi State and South
Florida sweat on Selection Sunday. We
will be reduced to the tourney worthy
teams such as Wichita State, Northeastern
and Stony Brook.
Excuse me while I get sick to my stom-
ach at the thought of that.
The beauty of Butler and Dukes
run would be watered down because
they would have had a first-round bye,
and therefore wouldnt have had to go
through a seven-game gauntlet to win the
national title.
While watching One Shining
Moment tonight, take in the moments
of this years tournament and see the joy
out of teams like Cornell, St. Marys and
yes, Northern Iowa. We may see these
Cinderellas make a run to the Sweet 16
once every 10 years with the potential
format giving less deserving teams a
chance. The NCAA needs to stop milking
the cash cow and enjoy what it already
has because thats as good as it gets.
TONIGHTS GAME
Here is a quick comparison of the two
teams playing for the national title:
National titles: Butler-0, Duke-3
Final Fours: Butler-1, Duke-15
All Americans: Butler-1, Duke-15
Team villain: Butler-none, Duke-pick
one
School legend: Butler-Bobby Plump?,
Duke- Christian Laettner
Weeks in the AP top 25 poll as of 2009
season- Butler-28, Duke-621
Prediction: As much as I want Butler
to win, Duke is simply better. Duke wins
73-69 and crushes Butlers homecoming
story.

INDIANAPOLIS Kentucky
Coach John Calipari said Turs-
day he doesnt yet know how many
players will be leaving his program,
but that the worst-case scenario is
that it could be so many youre not
gonna ever try to fll that many.
Calipari received the Adolph
Rupp Cup for Coach of the Year
and John Wall the Adolph Rupp
Trophy for Player of the Year dur-
ing a ceremony held by the Com-
monwealth Athletic Club at the
Marriott Hotel on Tursday.
Aferward, Wall said he planned
to make an ofcial decision soon
about whether to go pro afer hav-
ing just completed a standout fresh-
man season. Calipari appeared to
let the cat out of the bag during the
ceremony when he told the gather-
ing that Wall wanted to be the frst
player to leave afer one year and
still get his degree.
But Wall denied that he has
made a fnal decision or that he has
signed with an agent.
I had a great time at Kentucky,
and I havent made my decision
yet, Wall said. Ill make it in the
next week or two.
Not that Calipari has any pre-
tenses about what the future holds
for his point guard.
I have an opinion of what he
should do, said the coach.
He also has his thoughts on
the plans of freshmen DeMarcus
Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel
Orton, who could join seniors Ra-
mon Harris, Mark Krebs and Perry
Stevenson, and possibly graduating
junior Patrick Patterson, as depar-
tures from a Kentucky team that
went 35-3, with a loss to West Vir-
ginia in the East Regional fnals last
weekend.
During the season its about our
team, Calipari said. When the
season ends, the moment it ends,
its no longer about the team; its
about individual players. Its about
them and their families. Now,
youve worked hard for the team,
youve worked hard for the state
and for the program. Now its your
turn to make a decision for you and
your family.
Calipari did say that he expect-
ed both Orton and Bledsoe to test
the NBA Draf waters, but that he
wants to make sure that both are
protected, in case they end up
wanting to come back.
But with the possibility of a high
number of departures, the coach
also needs to protect himself and
his program, with regard to next
season.
I think were recruiting a good
group of young people, Calipari
said. And I think that by the time
we start next year, I think well
have a team in or-
der thats going to
be another good
team. Looks like
its going to be a
young team again.
But thats OK.
Calipari said
he would not sign
players just to
sign players. Even
though he had 13
scholarship play-
ers this season,
Calipari said he
would be comfortable with having
10 scholarship players and one or
two walk-ons.
Te coach also denied rumors
Darnell Dodson was no longer on
the team.
He also said his understanding
is that all of the four freshmen are
in the proper academic standing
to return next season, should they
wish.
Not every recruit is going to be
a one-and-done, Calipari said. In
nine years at Memphis, the coach
had four players who were drafed
afer just one season. He could have
four more this year.
It wont be like that (every
year), Calipari said.
Part of it was that
the team was so
good this year it el-
evated every player.
If we were a bad
team, they would
have looked bad as
individual players.
As the frst Ken-
tucky player to win
the Rupp Award,
John Wall looked
the farthest thing
from bad.
Said Calipari, Not every kid is
going to have an opportunity to
leave afer one year. Tere will be
kids who say to me, Coach, can
you do for me what you did for
John Wall? Are you as good as
John Wall? ... Yes, I can. If not, then
no, I cannot.

Ingle said.
In the first game Texas used a
three-run top third inning to take
a 4-0 lead early. Texas was getting
hits easily while Kansas could not
get its offense going against rise-
ball pitcher Luna. Texas tacked on
three more runs in the seventh
while Kansas was outhit 13-3 and
shutout 7-0.
Texas kept Luna in for the sec-
ond game. It was more of the same
as by the top of the sixth, Texas had
a 6-0 lead. Luna was working on a
no-hitter when, in the bottom of
the sixth, Texas took Luna out.
With Luna out, Kansas was final-
ly able to get some momentum.
The run started with Ingle hit-
ting her fourth home run of the
year. Kansas then scored another
run, and had runners on first and
second. With its lead shrinking,
Texas decided to put Luna back in,
and she picked up where she left
off, shutting down Kansas. Kansas
was outhit 11-5 in the second game
as Kansas fell again to Texas, 6-2.
Kansas will look for its first Big

Kansas travels to Columbia, Mo.,

Gill said he understands that
each player learns at different
speeds, and that will certainly be
taken into account. Then again,
players that smoothly adjust
might improve their standing.
That means they can catch
on pretty quickly and you can
see their skills a lot better, Gill
said. Then there are going to be
some people that may not show
their speed, their quickness or
their reaction because theyre
still thinking. We take all that
into consideration
But at some point in time
you have to take the leash off
and see if theyre going to react
because thats part of football.
Gill and Kansas players didnt
elaborate on the specifics of the
terminology changes. But Smith
said players are adapting quickly
this spring and that so far prac-
tices have mostly featured fun-
damentals.
In doing so, the Jayhawks are
simply focusing on the basic ele-
ment of terminology.
Theres a lot of starting over

despite 42 points from LeBron
James to beat the Cleveland
Cavaliers 117-113 on Sunday.
The win snapped a three-game
home losing streak for Boston,
and it kept the Cavaliers from
clinching home-court advantage
for the entire postseason.
James scored 20 in the fourth

But he missed two free throws in

James was 0-for-9 from
three-point range, including a
meaningless, unguarded shot at
the final buzzer that bounced
off the rim. Afterward, he and

that featured six technicals and

Garnett scored 19 points,

Jayhawks halt Wildcats 12-8 in Kansas Cup
BY ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
The rowing team notched
its first victory of the season
over rival Kansas State in the
Kansas Cup on Saturday. The
Jayhawks won every event
except for the first Varsity
Eight-boat to win 12-8. The
stars of the race were the
rowers in the first Varsity
Four-boat, who blew past
their Kansas State Varsity
Four opponents by a whop-
ping 31.6 seconds. The key
for them was getting off to a
quick start.
All week long we real-
ly worked on our starts to
make sure that we had the
first four strokes down and
then a nice push right off,
senior Brittany Belford said.
I guess getting ahead helped
keep us ahead.
The race that clinched
the Kansas Cup on Senior
Day was the Second Varsity
Eights narrow victory over
the Wildcats a race that
the Jayhawks won by less
than four seconds.
It was inspiring to know
that if our boat won the
race then we would win the
Kansas Cup, junior Julia
Guard said. That motivated
us at the end when we were
down three or four seats with
500 meters to go.
The victory was a huge
confidence boost to a team
that started its season ear-
lier than usual so they could
be better prepared when the
Big 12 Championships roll
around.
I thought the team per-
formed well, especially the
young kids, coach Rob
Catloth said. We won the
Kansas Cup as a team and
had a solid performance.
You get a lot of confidence
winning a team event, confi-
dence as a team.
Belford agreed about the
advantages gained from
starting the season earlier.
Its helped so much,
Belford said. Getting those
first four races in Oklahoma
City down and under our
belt really gave us the experi-
ence to know what to work
and where we need to push
during the race.
Next up for the Jayhawks
are races next weekend in
Pennsylvania against Old
Dominion, Rhode Island and
Bucknell.

AssociATED PrEss
OKLAHOMA CITY Kevin
Durant scored 40 points to break
the franchise record for scoring
in a season and the Oklahoma
City Thunder fought off a spir-
ited charge by the Minnesota
Timberwolves for a 116-108 vic-
tory on Sunday night.
Less than 24 hours after
clinching the franchises first
playoff berth in five years, the
Thunder built a 25-point lead
in the first half, but then had to
hang on as Minnesota moved
back within six in the final 10
minutes.
Durant hit a jumper and then
threw down a two-handed alley-
oop jam with 5 minutes left to
restore Oklahoma Citys lead
to double digits and break the
franchise scoring record in the
process.
Ryan Gomes scored 20 of his
22 points in the second half to
lead Minnesotas comeback bid.
Jonny Flynn also finished with
22 as the Timberwolves lost for
the 24th time in their last 26
games.
Russell Westbrook added
10 points and a career-best
16 assists, Jeff Green had 16
points and 10 rebounds and
Nenad Krstic scored 14 points
including jumpers on three
straight possessions down the
stretch to push the Thunders
lead to 110-96 and ice the game.
With fans in the sellout crowd
greeting him with a stand-
ing ovation, Durant promised
before the game that the playoff
berth was only the beginning
for the Thunder. Oklahoma City
has more than doubled its win
total after going 23-59 last sea-
son and moved within 1 games
of the four teams tied for second
place in the West by winning for
the sixth time in the last seven
games.
The victory also kept the
Thunder in sixth place, with
a one-game cushion over San
Antonio.
Despite a hot start, the Thunder
could hardly relax against the
last-place Timberwolves.
Minnesota closed a 24-point
deficit to nine in the third quar-
ter as the Thunder missed 16 of
their first 20 shots.
McclATcHY-TriBuNE
INDIANAPOLIS On a nearly
10-hour flight to Italy, where Butler
played four exhibition games in
August, coach Brad Stevens passed
time reading about a colleague.
The book was The Gold Standard
by Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski,
detailing his Olympic coaching
experience and ability to build a
team.
So the 33-year-old Stevens meant
it quite literally Sunday when he
said of veteran coaches, They write
books and I get to read them.
Stevens coaching blueprint will
be valuable now as the second-
youngest coach to compete for an
NCAA mens basketball champi-
onship. The season climax takes
place Monday when Butler (33-4),
a fifth seed, faces Duke (34-5), a
No. 1 seed, for the title in Lucas Oil
Fieldhouse, only a few miles from
Butlers campus.
The NCAA could not have pit-
ted two teams with more polar
public perceptions: Blue blood ver-
sus new blood.
The Blue Devils have been to
the NCAA title game nine times
and won it three times. Duke is a
perennial power with 34 tourna-
ment appearances.
The program has produced 33
All-Americans and nine national
players of the year. Duke was the
only No. 1 seed to advance to the
Final Four this season. A bigger
Goliath is hard to find. As Duke
guard Nolan Smith said of a poten-
tial triumph, I can be part of the
hated tradition.
Butler never had made it to
the Final Four. The Bulldogs only
chartered three flights before the
tournament began. Its home arena
of Hinkle Fieldhouse, used to film
parts of the movie Hoosiers, is
more famous than any player.
If thats what the story is going
to be, well accept that, sophomore
swingman Gordon Hayward said.
Perception, of course, isnt always
reality.
Although a No. 5 seed has
never won the championship
No. 8 Villanovas 1985 victory
over Georgetown was the classic
Cinderella saga Butler is far
from a group of scrappy scrubs.
The Bulldogs have won 25
straight and knocked off the likes
of Syracuse, Kansas State and
Michigan State in the tournament.
No tournament team has scored
60 points on Butlers stonewall
defense.
When I look at Brad, I say, How
far ahead is he from where I was?
Krzyzewski said. Hes a much bet-
ter coach. Hes already established
himself. I was in the midst of trying
to figure out who the heck I was.

INDIANAPOLIS After toss-
ing a big, wet blanket on one feel-
good story, Duke gets to go after
another.
They dont call em the Devils for
nothing.
Jon Scheyer scored 23 points
Saturday night to lift Duke, the
team so many folks love to hate, to
a 78-57 victory over West Virginia
and set up a meeting against tiny
Butler a classic matchup of big
vs. little, with the national title on
the line.
I think theyre one of the
best teams in the country, Duke
coach Mike Krzyzewski said of
his upcoming opponent, which
has won 25 straight. I think a
Cinderella would be more if some-
body had eight or nine losses and
pulled some upsets.
Still, Butler is a No. 5 seed.
And in a tournament turned upside
down, the Blue Devils (34-5) were
the only No. 1 seed to make it to the
Final Four.
Their trip, however, wasnt total-
ly predictable or expected. Duke
had gone six long years since its
last appearance and hasnt been to
the final since winning it all nine
years ago a veritable century by
Tobacco Road standards. Now, this
group of Blue Devils has a chance
to give Coach K his fourth national
championship.
Its everything, senior center
Brian Zoubek said. This is the
culmination of four years for me.
To have a shot at the championship
my senior year, after everything
weve been through, is a dream
come true.
This was a wire-to-wire pulla-
way against the West Virginia team
coached by alum Bob Huggins,
who led the Mountaineers (31-7)
on a 10-game winning streak that
included the Big East tournament
title and ended with a trip to the
Final Four.
It was an inspiring journey, the
first for West Virginia in 51 years,
back when Jerry West wore the old
gold and blue.
Huggins returned to West
Virginia to bring an elusive title
back home to a state that loves its
flagship school like few others.
Ive watched a lot of tape. I
havent seen them play that well,
Huggins said. And we didnt play
very well. And, you know, that
happens.
McclAtchy-tribune
INDIANAPOLIS Shortly
before tipoff on Saturday at Lucas
Oil Stadium, Butler Universitys
live Bulldog mascot, Butler Blue
II, took the court, was told to stay
. . . and did, even with TV cameras
in his face and 71,298 fans in the
building.
He just sat there like he owned
it, said Michael Kaltenmark, his
handler and a Butler development
officer.
As Butlers players were intro-
duced, they patted him on the
head. And why not?
Thats what we do at every
home game, said Butler guard
Ronald Nored, smiling and adding,
Sometimes he barks, sometimes
he bites. You have to play through
it.
In a bruising national semifi-
nal game between the Bulldogs
and Michigan State, Butler played
through history and plenty else to
advance to the national title game
on Monday night with a 52-50 vic-
tory over the Spartans in a battle of
5th-seeded teams.
The victory was the 25th in a row
for Butler, which became the small-
est school to reach the national title
game since Jacksonville in 1970
and is coached by 33-year-old Brad
Stevens, the youngest man to take a
team this far since Indianas Branch
McCracken in 1940.
Despite being the first team to
play in a Final Four in its home-
town since UCLA in 1972, Butler
(33-4) had to overcome making
just one basket in the final 12 min-
utes, 17 seconds, misfiring on 34 of
49 in the game and being without
two injured starters much of the
night.
And it was staring at multiple
scenarios for defeat in the final 30
seconds, between Michigan State
(28-9) having the ball trailing by
one and then having Nored at the
line with 6.1 seconds left after mak-
ing just three of 12 free throws in
NCAA play.
Thanks for reminding me,
Nored said.
He could joke about it after he
made both to give the Bulldogs a
slight 52-49 cushion in the final
seconds. But it wasnt over yet.
Even after Butler fouled Michigan
State to prevent the Spartans from
launching a three-pointer, suspense
lingered.
After MSUs Korie Lucious made
a free throw with 2 seconds left, he
intentionally missed the second.
But there, again, was Butlers omni-
present Gordon Hayward, who had
19 points and claimed his ninth
rebound to put it away.

Royals face Tigers in
season opener game
KANSAS CITY, Mo. With two
of baseballs top pitchers facing
teams they often dominate, hits
and runs may be hard to fnd
Monday afternoon in Kansas City.
Opening the season for Detroit
will be right-hander Justin Ver-
lander, who won 19 games last
year and led the majors with 269
strikeouts.
Opposing him will be Zack
Greinke, who won the 2009 Cy
Young Award as the best pitcher
in the American League.
Im sure the national media will
be focused on other games rather
than the Detroit Tigers and Kansas
City Royals, said Trey Hillman,
beginning his third year as KCs
manager. But Im not sure you can
come up with any better opening
day matchup than Greinke vs. Ver-
lander. Its going to be exciting.
The Royals, 65-97 last year, will
unveil a new-look lineup they
hope will shore up a defense that
led the AL last year in errors (117)
and losses at home (48).
The Tigers fnished last year
86-77 and in a very foul mood,
losing a three-game lead with four
games remaining and slipping out
of the playofs.

Senior second baseman Robby Price
Price has been nearly unstoppable for Kansas
at the plate. The senior went 7-of-13 with four
RBI, fve runs scored and two walks, and ex-
tended his hitting streak to 13 games. Many of
Prices hits came in timely fashion, including his
game-tying single with two outs in the ninth on
Saturday.

From the stat book
Kansas starting pitchers
Though they came into the series struggling of late, each of Kansas
top-three starters rebounded with strong performances which gave
the team a chance to win. T.J. Walz was sharp for seven and one-third
innings Thursday, Cameron Selik turned in six and two-thirds on Friday,
and Brett Boll-
man gutted out
fve innings of
three-run ball
on Saturday.
Those are three
big-time eforts
from the Jay-
hawks starters.
The Jayhawks certainly had their
share of chances against the Aggies,
stranding 28 runners on base for the
series including 10 on Saturday that left them feeling like they had
missed a prime opportunity for another victory.

Player to forget
Senior frst baseman Brett Lisher
After an 0-for-8 showing in his two starts
against the Aggies, Lisher (0-for-18) is now hitless
in the Jayhawks fve Big 12 games. Lisher hit
into many tough-luck outs, blasting line drives
directly at defenders. The senior entered confer-
ence play toting one of the hottest bats on the
club, but because of the recent slide his average
has dipped to .306.
Selik
Robby Price, and once again in the
11th after the Aggies took an 8-7 edge
on a balk of all things.
The tendency of this Kansas team to
mount comebacks and string together
tough at-bats impressed Price.
I think the great thing for this group
of guys is they really grind, Price said.
And they compete, and they dont
give up.
But after tying the game twice late in
the game, Kansas had opportunities to
get a walk-off hit and failed to do so.
We had some big-time hits, but we
just needed another big hit to put them
away, Waters said.
And once the game reached the
2:15 curfew a cutoff time which
the teams had agreed upon because
of A&Ms travel arrangements the
Jayhawks didnt get another opportu-
nity to walk-off with the victory.
The teams shook hands on the field,
the Aggies packed onto their buses, but
the Jayhawks remained in their dugout
on the first base side all of them vis-
ibly disappointed.
After the game, Robby Price said
Kansas had nothing to be ashamed of
after a series where it turned in three
competitive performances against a top
25 team. But ultimately, his opening
sentiments about the way the series
ended were the most telling.
Ties definitely suck, he said.
Theres no other way to say it.

In perspective
Series notes
Three hard fought games
yielded only one victory for
the Jayhawks, who were visibly
disappointed after Saturdays
fnale. Fridays 6-4 setback was
a hard-fought defeat, albeit one
the Jayhawks can live with. But
Saturdays 8-8 tie was a clear
example of a missed opportunity
for Kansas to earn a series victory,
and a difcult way to end a com-
petitive Big 12 series.
Ben Ward
Team adds game
Kansas added a game to its home schedule, which will be played
tomorrow (April 6) at 6 pm, when it hosts Missouri Valley College.
The contest is a makeup for a game lost earlier this season due to
weather.
Not quite himself (yet)
After going hitless in his frst game back from
injury, junior third baseman Tony Thompson col-
lected eight hits over a six game stretch with four
runs scored and nine RBI. But Thompson had a
tough weekend from the plate against A&M, go-
ing 0-for-13 with two walks and two runs scored.
Coach Price said Thompson is still working on
getting his timing back at the plate.
Whats happening right now, I knew was going
to happen, Price said. Its still spring training for him.
