STUDenT SenATe kelsey Cipolla
kcipolla@kansan.com The countless fliers on campus promoting student organizations might be a little more attractive thanks to the newly-opened Student Design Center. Student Senate president Libby Johnson and vice president Gabe Bliss pitched the idea for a design center after talking with student organizations about what they needed to more effectively communicate with students. Several groups said having access to a graphic designer would be a big help. Graphic design is something that is hard to find experts in, but a lot of organizations need, Johnson said. As a result, the center offers student organizations three hours of free design service. Students pay $10 per hour and academic departments can hire the student designers for twice that rate. Posters and fliers are printed on-site, and a PDF of the design can be provided for future use. Emily Mullett, a junior from Leawood, became involved with the Student Design Center months before it opened. In September, she was approached to become a designer and helped decide some of the details of the new project during the last several months of planning. She said shes excited to finally begin working at the center, which opened last Monday. Its a good job because its kind of like an internship in a way. Its just nice to be able to work on so many different things for different groups, Mullett said. Rachel Roth, a sophomore from Overland Park, heard that the design center was hiring from one of her professors. She liked that the position would allow her to work with an array of students and organizations and provide valuable, real-world experience in the graphic design field. Design work with logos is considered branding, Roth said. Thats something Im really interested in, so Im excited to hopefully get some experience with that and just to give the clubs on campus a more recognizable image. The design center employs three sophomores, two juniors, one senior and a graduate student, which Roth said has allowed her to learn from more experienced designers. The Student Design Center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday in room 570 of the Kansas Union. Design requests can be submitted online at www.cargocollective.com/kustudentdesign.

rsalyer@kansan.com A building already known for its bright pupils will soon have another reason to shine. The campus safety advisory board allocated $5,000 for exterior lighting at the Nunemaker Center, home of the Universitys honors program, in its meeting Wednesday night. According to the proposal, the lighting was requested not only to make the building safer but also for the surrounding area. Due to our location on Daisy Hill, we have tremendous foot traffic at all hours and the main sidewalk in front of Nunemaker is very poorly lit, the proposal read. Nunemaker is open until 10 p.m. Thursday through Sunday and Sandra Wick, associate director of the honors program and proposal presenter, asked the board to consider that the building is open to everyone, not just honors students, and the new lights would help bring attention to the building. Wick also said the lighting would help students know the building is open because the poor lighting can make the building appear closed. Meredith Pavicic, campus safety advisory board chair, said she believes the lighting will not only act as a deterrent for potential crime but will help students feel more at ease during the

Heavy snow and blizzard conditions lead to canceled classes and a closed campus early February last semester. Lawrence is currently under a winter weather advisory that will last until the evening.

vshanker@kansan.com Road conditions play a major part in determining if the University will cancel or postpone classes, according to University policies and the Office of Public Safety. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Lawrence because of snow and freezing rain throughout the day. Sgt. James Anguiano from the Office of Public Safety says University police drive around campus during an advisory to determine if roads are safe for vehicles. Anguiano said there were more

traffic incidents than usual during similar advisory warnings last year, but this time drivers need to pay extra attention to the road. Last year people were used to the conditions, Anguiano said. But weve had a mild winter and drivers may react slower to conditions. Whether or not University buses can safely travel on campus is a major factor when University officials decide to close campus, Anguiano said. Campus crosswalk accessibility is also a concern. The University gives Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and Provost Jeff Vitter the authority to close campus in response to dangerous

weather. That decision is made after consultation with the Office of Public Safety, Lawrence police, the Kansas Highway Patrol and the National Weather Service. The University Winter Weather Policy states that in the case administration decides to close campus, the Office of Public Affairs will make announcements to local media at 5:45 a.m. as well as through the University home page and campus alert website at 6 a.m. Sara Rosen, senior vice provost for academic affairs, is responsible for determining class cancellation. If no announcement is made, classes will be in session, but the University

will continue to monitor the weather and road conditions and may cancel classes mid-day. Students can view the latest campus status update at www.alert. ku.edu. Edited by Christine Curtin

night. It makes people feel safer if they can see around them, Pavicic said. It will also act as a deterrent, but we really want people to feel safe on campus. Pavicic, who has had class in the building herself, said she hopes to see more students using the building. We hope it will make it safer for students employed there, students going to class and students studying, Pavicic said. But we also want to see more students utilizing the space because it is safer. Keri Kenning, a senior from Hutchinson, is both an honors student and an employee at the Nunemaker Center and has been using the building throughout her years at the University. I come here to study a lot, Kenning said. It is open pretty late and its a nice venue. Kenning currently works the night shift and locks the building up every night and has been weary because of the dark. It can be dark and kooky, Kenning said. I am definitely on guard when I leave the building, because you never know who is out there, so it is pretty exciting that were getting new lights. The project is estimated to take 17 weeks to complete and should be finished in time for the fall semester. Edited by Max Lush

New bill, student debt, full stories online now

Featured today on PoliticalFiber. com + Reporter Stefanie Penn examines pending anti-abortion legislation in the Kansas statehouse. The bill, which has become known as the personhood amendment, would establish that life begins with the fertilization of an egg and would outlaw anything that prevents the fertilized egg from being carried to term. However, supporters and opponents disagree about whether the laws broad language would also ban emergency contraception and other common forms of birth control. A personhood amendment would have a dramatic and negative impact beyond issues related to abortion, said Laura Saneyfelt, an attorney who has worked on reproductive rights cases. The full story is online now at PoliticalFiber. com now. + Student debt will exceed $1 trillion this year, a challenge President Obama and GOP candidates are seeking to confront with dramatically different approaches. Last week, we asked you who you think presents the best solution for dealing with the growing issue of student debt. Fifty-eight percent of responders said Ron Paul made the best case.

President of Guatemala legalizes the transportation of drugs

GUATEMALA CITY Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina said Saturday he will propose legalizing drugs in Central America in an upcoming meeting with Molina the regions leaders. Perez Molina said in a radio interview that his proposal would include decriminalizing the transportation of
drugs through the area. I want to bring this discussion to the table, he said. It wouldnt be a crime to transport, to move drugs. It would all have to be regulated. Perez Molina, a former army general who took office last month, didnt give any other details about his proposal, mention specific drugs or say when the next meeting with Central American leaders will be. He said he will bring the subject up with Salvadoran President Mauricio Funes when Funes visits Monday. The Guatemalan president said the war on drugs and all the money and technology received from the U.S. has not diminished drug trafficking in the area. There was talk of the success of Plan Colombia but all it did was neutralize big cartels, Perez Molina said of a U.S. initiative supporting Colombias fight against leftist rebels and far-right militias involved in the drug trade. Perez Molina also blamed drug cartels for rampant violence in Guatemala, which has a homicide rate of 41 murders per 100,000 people.

Leader of Christmas day church bombing in Nigeria arrested

AbUJA, Nigeria The alleged mastermind of a radical Islamist sects Christmas Day church bombing fled across Nigeria after escaping police custody and hid for about a month before finally being apprehended Friday, authoriSokoto ties said. The arrest of Kabiru Sokoto by Nigerias secret police and military
comes after his escape led to national embarrassment amid the increasingly bloody attacks carried out by the sect known as Boko Haram. Though President Goodluck Jonathan fired the nations top police official, the nations weak central government still appears unable to stop the sect from attacking at will and disappearing into the shadows. Officers from the State Security Service and soldiers raided a home early Friday morning in Mutum Biyu in Taraba state where they suspected Sokoto was hiding, said Marilyn Ogar, a spokeswoman for the secret police agency. They found Sokoto hiding behind a rack of drying laundry, Ogar said. Authorities did not say how they found Sokoto, though secret police have in the past tracked suspects using the signals from their mobile phones. Ogar said Kabiru was hiding in a suspected accomplices home, but it wasnt clear what his plans where. He initially fled to Nasarawa state, which borders Abuja, then to Taraba state, which borders Cameroon, she said.

Extreme cold weather miserable for Turkeys quake survivors

ANKARA, Turkey Freezing temperatures and heavy snow in Turkey are making life miserable for the more than 140,000 residents who were left homeless by the nations devastating earthquake four months ago and who are still living in tents or temporary shelters. The cold snap, which began in Europe in late January, has left some families in Turkeys quake relief centers trying to stay warm by using coal stoves or electric heaters, and watching their drinking water freeze overnight. Nearly a foot of snow has fallen in the quake zone, and temperatures have dipped as low as -4 Fahrenheit. Elsewhere in Europe the situation has been much worse, with hundreds of people most them homeless dying in the cold, and many cities and towns being trapped by much deeper snow. In Romania, officials on Friday reported 13 more deaths and rounded up about 220 homeless to shelter them from the deep freeze at night. Huge chunks of ice were blocking navigation on the Danube River in Romania, one of Europes key waterways.

Tibetan nun protests Chinese government, sets herself on fire

bEIJING An 18-year-old Tibetan nun has set herself on fire in western China in the latest such protest against Beijings handling of the vast ethnic Tibetan regions it rules, an overseas activist group said Sunday. Free Tibet said in a statement that the nun set herself ablaze Saturday and was believed to have survived. The young woman, identified as Tenzin Choezin, was a nun at the Mamae Nunnery in Sichuan provinces Aba prefecture, the statement said. It said Choezin shouted slogans of protest against the Chinese
government before setting herself on fire at a junction close to the nunnery. Soldiers and police came immediately and took her away, the statement said. Soldiers then surrounded the nunnery and sealed it off. More than a dozen monks, nuns and ordinary Tibetans have set themselves on fire over the past year, and Free Tibet says at least 11 died from their injuries. Activist groups say the selfimmolations are a protest against Chinas policies and a call for the return of the Dalai Lama, the Tibetans spiritual leader who fled from the Himalayan region to India amid an abortive uprising against Chinese rule in 1959. Government and police officials reached by telephone in Aba said they knew nothing about any selfimmolation and hung up. A statement by two Tibetan monks exiled in India, Losang Yeshe and Kanyag Tsering, distributed by the London-based International Campaign for Tibet said Choezin was the eldest of four children and a good student.

Killer helps find more remains

ASSoCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Authorities searching with the help of a convicted serial killer found more human remains Saturday the first bones discovered at an abandoned well on a cattle ranch where a death row inmate claimed 10 or more victims may be buried, authorities said. The discovery marked the third straight day that remains were found with a map prepared by Wesley Shermantine. He and his childhood friend, Loren Herzog, were called the Speed Freak Killers for a methamphetaminefueled killing spree that had as many as 15 victims. Two sets of remains had been found Thursday and Friday near property once owned by Shermantines family about 60 miles south of Sacramento. The latest remains were found after crews dug slowly through 30 feet of soot and debris at the well near Linden, Calif., said San Joaquin County sheriff s spokesman Deputy Les Garcia. It was not clear whether they belonged to one or more people, and Garcia said they had not yet been identified. The search was called off after dark Saturday, but was set to resume Sunday. Dental records identified remains found Thursday in Calaveras County as those of Cyndi Vanderheiden, 25, Garcia said. Authorities were awaiting the results of a DNA analysis to confirm the identification, Garcia said. Cyndi Vanderheidens father, John Vanderheiden, said he was almost sure the remains are those of his daughter, who disappeared in 1998. There will be closure after that, he said. The remains found Friday have not been identified, but Chevelle Chevy Wheelers parents believe they are those of their 16-year-old daughter. Wheelers parents said they were notified that the remains were found in a spot where Shermantine said their daughter was buried after she disappeared in 1985. They said they found her wrapped in a blanket, Paula Wheeler, the girls mother, told The Associated Press by phone from the familys home in Crossville, Tenn. This is a happy day. We can finally have some closure. Shermantine recently agreed to disclose the locations of bodies in return for a bounty hunters offer of $33,000. He is giving hand-drawn maps to authorities, who are focusing on the spot where Saturdays remains were found, though layers of backfill were making excavation difficult. Shermantine was convicted of four murders and sentenced to death. Herzog was convicted of three murders and sentenced to 77 years to life in prison, though that was later reduced to 14 years. An appeals court tossed his first-degree murder convictions after ruling his confession was illegally obtained. Herzog was paroled in 2010 to a trailer outside the High Desert State Prison in Susanville. He committed suicide outside that trailer last month after Sacramento bounty hunter Leonard Padilla told him Shermantine was disclosing the location of the well along with two other locations. Padilla has promised to pay Shermantine as much as $33,000 to disclose the locations of the bodies. He said he hopes to collect on rewards being offered by the state of California for information about several missing persons suspected of being victims of Herzog and Shermantine. Shermantine has said he wants the money to pay off an $18,000 restitution order that prevents him from buying the limited luxuries like candy bars that inmates with money in their accounts can afford. He also said he want to buy headstones for his deceased parents.

Fewer categories in grammy awards this year, artists protest

entertainment

LOS ANGELES The Grammys have been accused over time of favoring commercial success over artistic excellence and of being bloated with too many categories (110 at its peak). This year the music industry organization is taking hits for slimming the awards ceremony down to 78 categories. Some protesters see racial bias in the revisions, and others consider them a power play by corporate major labels against smaller indie labels, whose artists often made up the nominees in the categories that have been eliminated or tucked under larger umbrellas.

Catching a glimpse of Miss Taylor Swift L

ike every American, Im susceptible to the cult of personality. So when I heard last Wednesday that Taylor Swift was on campus, the thrill of catching a glimpse of a celebrity positively elated me. The thought came that perhaps I might even get her to autograph my copy of Catcher in the Rye (KU Bookstore price $72.99). And so I sprinted in my bathrobe and slippers down Jayhawk Boulevard. Even though I read a very un-Wednesday like mirth in the faces of my fellow students, my search for the bejeweled popstar was in vain. Periodic Taylor Swift apparitions cast our university into disarray and frenzy unseen since the fall of Saigon in 1975. Sightings of the elusive and aptly-named Miss Swift, are believed with

the child-like credulity and hope of UFO searching FBI agents (I want to believe Taylor exists, Scully). However, the spotters invariably turn out to be fringe nutjobs soaked with gin. Like most Americans, I love Taylor Swift, not only because of her soul-touching songs, but her aw shucks humility as well. It reminds me of me if I were a girl who wildly succeeded at something she loved to do. She has achieved a status which puts her on the same pedestal as her less famous/ talented forebear, Jona-

than Swift. My fellow men think my admiration for TS betrays effeminacy. Before they start revoking my man card, allow me the following apologia: In a court of law, you could never prove that I liked TS for her music (God bless the Fifth Amendment). Although I have all her albums only because they fell out of a truck, I can still enjoy them. Even if I casually hum or sing a few of her songs in their entirety, that only means I have a very capacious memory. And if her songs touch my heart, it only proves that chivalry is far from expired. I can split wood and consume raw meat with the best of them. I know of no rule in the sacred tome of Man Law that says a man cannot like a woman singer. Quite the contrary is the truth of men. Abraham Lincoln was a devoted fan of the Dixie Chicks, Winston Churchill loved Jewel (for more than just her music), and in his speeches, Malcolm X

made countless allusions to Sarah McLachlan. When I first listened to Fifteen at the age of twenty, I was enchanted to meet Taylor Swift. How her lyrics would have spoken to my angsty, feckless self, five years prior! Her lyrics teach us about respect for others as well as ourselves. Truly, it takes more strength to act on the songs of TS than to derisively dismiss them. I will not lose hope that, one day, I will catch a glimpse of the elusive, Jackie O-esque Taylor Swift. Though I will probably never meet her, I want to thank Taylor Swift, because although she wasnt there to guide me through my tumultuous second decade, at least shes here for my third and presumably fourth and fifth.

our own success. It drives us to find our comparative advantage and use it to create value in society. Unfortunately, the left wants to turn that envy into jealousy in order to garner support for the redistribution of wealth. The endgame is that people believe they cant succeed without the government and they elect politicians who promise to remedy every economic inequality that exists. The result is more government jobs, programs, and entitlements. Margaret Thatcher noted that the problem with these policies is that you eventually run out of other peoples money to spend. Just look at what has happened in Greece, a modern European welfare state that is in default because its debt rose to 126 percent of its GDP. As of December 2011 Americas public debt is already an alarming 60 percent of its GDP. However, a report by the CATO Institute tabulates that future unfunded liabilities for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will actually total over $59 trillion, more than 412 percent of our GDP. Think the 1 percent can save us? Considering Forbes Magazine estimates that Americas 400 billionaires have total assets worth only about $1.3 trillion, I dont think so. Unlike Greece, there will be no one left to bail us out. The politics of jealousy are easy these days, particularly as millions across the country are suffering through a prolonged economic recovery. However, our path to prosperity is not through class warfare and more government. It is through truly free-markets and real reform to entitlements, the tax code, and government spending.

Q&A: CNNs Candy Crowley talks GOP Primary

CoDY KUIPER
ckuiper@kansan.com CNN anchor and chief political correspondent Candy Crowley accepted the William Allen White Citation on Friday from the School of Journalism. Crowley anchors the Sunday morning talk show, State of the Union with Candy Crowley. Crowleys accomplishments include interviewing important political figures such as President George Bush and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton on her show, and she has covered every Presidential race since the election of Jimmy Carter. Q: In 2008, Barack Obama was able to mobilize the young vote. Do you see him doing that again, or is there a Republican candidate that can do so? A: They are certainly hoping that they can recreate for a generation that was not able to vote for him; an entire group of folks, freshman through senior, that were not able to vote for him. They have certainly activated all their tricks and ways they were able to reach them in 2008: text message, email, and chatting across the vine, or the internet as the say. Theyre trying to get back into that consciousness, and they are certainly counting on that. Q: Obviously student-loans and tuition are big issues for college students. What other issues do you see coming to the forefront for this election? A: Its not just college tuition, but its questions like, should you go to college? Thats now more and more of a question. Is community college a better choice for some people? Is it worth it? Do you get enough bang for your buck? It all gets back to tuition, student-loans, who gets student loans, and will they be available? Presidential campaigns are a lot about dreams; what do you dream about and who can best help you get there? It is a yet-to-be-articulated dream by either side because we dont have a Republican candidate yet and the President hasnt fully engaged. They mostly talk about student loans, but you guys are also interested in social security. I think there are plenty of issues, and unless some unforeseen thing happens, this campaign is going to come down to an economic question. Q: How does this election year compare to others? A: You do not have, in the Republican primary, the kind of rock-star attention that both Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton got in 2008, but it clearly is showing that it has its own rhythm. Every election has its own rhythm; its like a different child. Theyre each exciting in their own way, but theyre not like the one before them, and I think thats true with this election. It doesnt have the same historic importance of a first woman or a first AfricanAmerican. Republicans will say this is historic because we are going down the wrong path, etcetera, but I think in terms of that first blush of history that you knew was going to be written by Barack Obama or Hilary Clinton, thats obviously absent. Q: Would you like to make a prediction about the Republican Primary? Let me analyze it as opposed to predict. Mitt Romney still has the most money. Money goes a long way, its not everything, but it sure helps when you get to superTuesday when there are so many states involved. Mitt Romney still has the best on-the-ground organization: people who can go and get people to get out and vote. On the other hand, what weve seen up to this point, at least, is that it isnt always enough. Theres passion behind the Santorum voters; theres some anger and passion behind the Gingrich supporters; theres certainly passion behind the Ron Paul supporters, and thats been able to give Romney a run for his money. He has kind of been the cool Mr.Fix it and the question is: will that get him to the finish line? If you are betting at this moment, it still looks like Mitt Romney will probably come out. The question is, how battered will he be? How bruised will he be? Q: Even though its a long way away, how do you see the general election playing out? A: I think the incumbent always has the advantage unless theres a horrible war raging. I think President Obamas biggest competitor is the economy. Its not even questions like will the economy be well? We know its not going to get well by November. The question is: do people believe? Do people see the job coming? Do they see themselves getting into a house or keeping their house? If the Obama campaign can convince people that its getting better, hes going to be tough to beat, as incumbents always are.

Gop candidates prepare for Michigan

ASSoCIAtED PRESS
PORTLAND, Maine A day after Mitt Romney regained some momentum in the Republican presidential contest, his rival Rick Santorum went on the attack, calling the front-runner desperate while promising to compete aggressively to win the state where Romney grew up. Santorum said Sunday he could do exceptionally well in Michigan, where Romneys father served as governor. The Midwestern state and Arizona host Republican presidential nominating contests on Feb. 28. Were going to spend a lot of time in Michigan and Arizona, and those are up next. And thats where weve really been focusing on, Santorum told ABCs This Week. He suggested that a strong showing in those contests would make the presidential contest a two-man race, dismissing current rivals Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. Santorum shrugged off his third-place finish Saturday in caucuses in Maine, where he didnt actively compete, as well as his second-place finish in a straw poll of conservative activists. Romney has been painting Santorum as a long-time Washington insider who pursued home-state projects. Santorum on Sunday described Romneys recent criticism as desperate. You reach a point where desperate people do desperate things, said Santorum, who represented Pennsylvania during his 16 years in Congress, first in the House and then in the Senate. Maine GOP officials declared Romney the winner of Saturdays caucuses. The results ended a three-state losing streak to Santorum, who swept contests in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri on Tuesday. With the next primaries more than two weeks away, the break seems unusually long in the rapidfire race thats featured six contests in the last 14 days. Romney and his rivals now have 17 days to raise cash and bolster their organizations for whats shaping up to be a slog to the Republican nomination

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney speaks at a caucus, saturday, Feb. 11, 2012, in portland, Maine. and the right to face President Barack Obama in November. As Santorum eyes Michigan, Romney turns his attention to extending his huge cash advantage over his rivals. Romney won a plurality of the Maine vote just hours after winning the presidential straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference in Washington. But questions about Romneys durability as his partys presumed front-runner persist. Fully 61 percent of Maine voters selected a candidate other than Massachusetts former governor in a state practically in his backyard. And Romneys showing was down considerably from 2008, when he won 51 percent of the vote. In Maine, Romney captured 39 percent of the vote, narrowly defeating Pauls 36 percent, state Republican chairman Charlie Webster said. Santorum and Gingrich, who didnt actively campaign in Maine, won 18 percent and 6 percent respectively. The Maine vote totals reflected about 84 percent of the states precincts, with nearly 5,600 Republicans voting out of 258,000 registered. The contests scheduled for the coming days will not be counted, including an entire county that postponed its caucuses because of a snow storm. We were a little bit disappointed last night, Paul said, because hes done well in that county in the past and expected to do well Saturday. Coming off last weeks success, Santorum saw a surge in donations. His campaign reports gathering $3 million in the three days immediately following after last weeks hat trick, but hes unlikely to catch Romney in the money race. Santorum reported just $279,000 in the bank at the end of December, compared with Romneys $19.9 million. Gingrich had $2.1 million, but is still carrying substantial debt, while Paul reported $1.9 million. Romney won 11 delegates and Paul 10, according to an analysis of the Maine results by The Associated Press. Santorum and Gingrich were shut out. That brings the delegate count to 123 for Romney, 72 for Santorum, 32 for Gingrich and 19 for Paul, with 1,144 delegates needed for the nomination.

Obama modifies current contraception policy

ASSocIAtED PRESS
WASHINGTON Conservatives said Sunday the flap surrounding President Barack Obamas birth control mandate was far from over, with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell saying hell push to overturn the requirement because it was another example of government meddling. While a senior White House official shrugged off such remarks, declaring the issue resolved and new legislation unlikely, the heated rhetoric from Republicans suggested the GOP would try to keep the debate alive in an election year to rally conservatives and seize upon voter frustration with big government. Its riddled with constitutional problems, McConnell said of Obamas broader health-care plan. And this is what happens when the government tries to take over health care and tries to interfere with your religious beliefs. Last week, Obama backed down on a mandate that religious-affiliated employers such as Catholic hospitals and colleges cover birth control in their health insurance plans. In a tweak of the rule, those employees would be offered free coverage directly from their health insurer. But employers would not provide or pay for it. The White House says the plan wont drive up costs because birth control, similar to other preventative care measures, is less expensive than pregnancy. But opponents say that unless drug makers stop charging for contraception, the cost is likely to get passed on to employers regardless. While some Catholic groups applauded the move, including the Catholic Health Association, the nations Catholic bishops said it continued the attack on religious freedoms a theme quickly picked up by Republicans trying to wrest control of the White House this November. The nations Roman Catholic bishops are expressing grave doubts about President Barack Obamas revamped health care rule on birth control. They say it raises serious moral concerns and lacks clear protections for certain employers, insurers and individuals. In a statement issued Friday evening, the United States Conference of Bishops said Obamas proposal continues to involve needless government intrusion in the internal governance of religious institutions. The statement came hours after Obama announced he was backing off a new requirement for religious employers to provide free birth control coverage, even if it runs counter to their religious beliefs. Instead, employees of those institutions will be able to get free contraception directly from health insurance companies. Theres no compromise here, said GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum, a Catholic and favorite among religious conservatives. They are forcing religious organizations, either directly or indirectly, to pay for something that they find is a deeply, morally, you know, wrong thing. And this is not what the government should be doing. In several televised interviews, White House chief of staff Jacob Lew defended the latest plan as the best possible compromise to provide women access to contraceptives and respect the religious freedoms of employers. Churches had always been exempt under Obamas original plan, although religiousaffiliated organizations were not. We didnt expect to get universal support of the bishops or all Catholics, he said. I think that what we have here is a policy that reflects bringing together two very important principles in a way thats true to the American tradition. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., has called Obamas revised plan an accounting gimmick. He introduced legislation last week that would exempt any organization with moral objections from providing birth control. McConnell said he expects such a bill would be vetoed by the president but that he still wanted a vote as soon as possible. House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan said there were enough votes in the Republican-controlled House to pass similar legislation. If this is what the presidents willing to do in a tough election year, imagine what he will do in implementing the rest of his health care law after an election, Ryan, R-Wis., told ABC News This Week. Lew shrugged off questions about Senate legislation, predicting that they would not come to pass and that the president planned to move ahead with implementing the current plan. Catholic universities and Catholic hospitals will not be in the position that they had feared. I think thats a good resolution, Lew said.

President Obama pauses while announcing the revamp of his contraception policy Friday. the policy no longer requies religious institutions to pay for birth control.

Jayhawks remain undefeated pagE 8b

Expect a slugfest tonight

By Clark Goble
jsomeone@kansan.com

COMMENTARY

td be easy for Kansas to overlook Kansas State in a spot like tonight. The Jayhawks are playing their best basketball of the season, in large part due to the emergence of junior center Jeff Withey. Kansas outplayed Missouri, tore apart Baylors 2-3 zone and put Oklahoma State in a 27-point hole at halftime on Saturday. The Wildcats have lost three of their last five. In KU and K-States first meeting on Jan. 4, the Jayhawks jumped ahead 23-5 with 8:39 to go in the first half. The Wildcats cut that deficit to just three points in the second half, but Kansas never lost control. Dont expect a game like that tonight. This is probably Kansas toughest test left on its regular season schedule. Ken Pomeroy, basketball statistics know-it-all, gives Kansas a 65 percent chance to win tonight. Pomeroy gives Kansas a 73 percent chance to get revenge on Missouri on Feb. 25. In giving Kansas all it can handle tonight, the Wildcats just might provide the blueprint for how to beat Kansas come tournament time. Kansas, as we all know, does not get much production from its bench this season. Reserves only play 23.8 percent of the available minutes, good for 313th in a nation with 345 teams. Kevin Young and Justin Wesley can keep the offense running but certainly wont be creating shots and opportunities by themselves. The way to hang with Kansas is to expose its bench, and Kansas State has the foul-hungry players to do just that tonight. Three Wildcats draw fouls at an extremely high rate: Jamar Samuels (6.6 fouls drawn per 40 minutes), Thomas Gipson (6.5) and Jordan Henriquez (5.9). If Kansas State coach Frank Martin plays it right, hell get the ball inside to those three big guys and tell them to attack Robinson and Withey from the opening tip. The Jayhawks are vulnerable, especially defensively, when Withey or Robinson is sitting on the bench for any extended length of time. Two early fouls on either of them could put Kansas in trouble. Martin would also be wise to get his players to focus on boxing out. The Jayhawks snagged 19 offensive rebounds in the first matchup. Offensive rebounding, as we saw on Saturday, often leads to easy buckets. Kansas State will definitely have a chance of toppling Kansas if the Wildcats limit easy buckets. This wont be a free-flowing game like the one in Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday. This one will be ugly, sometimes sloppy and full of fouls. There will be charges, blocks and flops. There will be good calls, bad calls and Kansas State fans yelling about any call that goes in Kansas favor. If the Jayhawks can handle a slugfest, theyll prove themselves capable of sustaining a long tournament run in March. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar

Davis injured in loss to Kansas State

kathleen gier
kgier@kansan.com Carolyn Davis screamed and dropped to the ground. Coach Bonnie Henrickson called her team ina huddle and they watched over their shoulders as they tried to quickly regroup. After more than 10 minutes on the floor, she was rolled out on a stretcher with tears streaming down her face. The orthopedic surgeon said she would call the Kansas team doctor and take an x-ray. The Jayhawks stood and looked stunned from the sidelines as they watched Davis, a junior forward and bona fide team leader, scream Im sorry as she was whisked away to Memorial Hospital in Manhattan. When trainers put Davis in the brace they knew it was dislocated, but they sent her for more tests. Davis was transferred back to Lawrence last night and will meet with KU doctors this morning. Henrickson said that injuries like this are the absolute worst part of her job. You go back and they are all crying, and everybodys upset, but how tough are they, Henrickson said. Kansas struggled to find a rhythm after the Davis jarring injury. The team shot just 33 percent for the game and fell 47-43 to Kansas State. On the roster of 10 women, three of them have sustained serious knee injuries in their careers. Junior guard Angel Goodrich tore her ACL two straight seasons to start her career, sophomore forward Tania Jackson tore hers in high school and in her first practice at Kansas and sophomore guard CeCe Harper tore hers in high school. Youve got a lot of kids in tears because they know exactly whats going on and exactly what she feels like and emotionally it is for those kids who know exactly what it feels like; its just not fair, Henrickson said. Davis drove into the lane and tossed up a shot that went flying at the shot clock above the basket. The referee blew the whistle and Davis was on the ground. It happened so fast, Goodrich said. It is like the usual play we see her come down the court and just give her the ball and then I didnt see until she was on the ground. Both teams went scoreless for two minutes after the stop, but Goodrich broke the silence with a layup to rally her troops and extend Kansas lead to four. Hearing her holler and yell it just hurts and it hit us hard, but we stuck together, Goodrich said. The veterans, Goodrich and senior forward Aishah Sutherland took the helm and paced the

Jayhawks. Goodrich played all 40 minutes and led the team with 14 points. Sutherland followed closely with 12 points and 17 rebounds. When something like that happens you just have to react, Sutherland said. Sutherland led the remaining forwards Jackson and the two freshmen Bunny Williams and Chelsea Gardner. Gardner came in for Davis and scored seven points off the bench and grabbed three rebounds. The Jayhawks were down four at the half and continued to battle throughout the second half. There were nine ties and 11 lead changes in the game with the largest lead coming when Kansas led by seven in the first half. At the end of the day did we battle and compete and am I proud, yeah, Henrickson said. Kansas will travel Ames, Iowa to face Iowa State at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar

Quote of the day

The chemistry of the group is very good, and not just on the field but off the field as well. I was surprised to see how quick it came together. Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes on how he thinks his team is coming together during training. The quote came from a Feb. 8 story on kansascity.com

Sporting Kansas City builds momentum

he euphoria surrounding Sporting Kansas City grew into epic proportions by the end of last season. The team rebranded itself, opened one of the most spectacular soccerspecific stadiums in the country, and finished one game away from the clubs first Major League Soccer Cup appearance since 2004. It truly was a soccer revolution in the Kansas City area turning a once niche sport into a hot topic. Now the 2012 campaign begins for Sporting as it finishes up preseason matchups and training in Arizona before opening the season at D.C. United on March 10. Sporting returns much of the same nucleus it had last year including forwards Teal Bunbury and reigning MLS rookie of the year, C.J. Sapong. Both players will look to step up this season with the departure of Omar Bravo. Although Bravo was a massive factor on the offensive end, I expect Bunbury and Sapong to be comfortable in their roles as premier strikers for the club. Another returning goal scorer for

Sporting will be Kei Kamara, who has been one of the most stable forwards for the team throughout his tenure. In the midfield, theres more experience with Graham Zusi and Roger Espinoza. These players have not only contributed for Sporting, but also their national squads. Zusi saw some time with the United States National Team in January and Espinoza made several appearances for his native Honduras throughout the year. The most intriguing offseason acquisition for the midfield was bringing in Olathe native Michael Thomas after he had spent several seasons playing soccer

in Sweden. The defense will not change much for Sporting either. Michael Harrington, Chance Myers, and Matt Besler all return to a backline that played well and aggressively throughout the 2011 campaign. The wildcard for the backline will be 33-year-old Brazilian Julio Cesar whos definitely on the back end of his career, but can still make an impact. Finally, in goal, will once again be the blonde topped Dane Jimmy Nielsen who signed a contract extension through the 2013 season in November. Although Nielsen can be inconsistent, when a big save is needed, he usually comes through. Having so little roster turnover from a top-notched MLS squad is somewhat of surprise. Usually, European clubs will poach a teams best talent, and management scrambles to find pieces to put together again. Since this wasnt the case for Sporting, it has to take advantage this season. The team no longer has to play in Arrowhead Stadium where the crowd looked like a little pepper specks in a

tomato soup bowl. Or play at Community America Ballpark where the outline of the field pushed up against the pitchers mound and outfield walls. Sporting Kansas City now has a venue that even some of the top clubs and national teams are jealous of in Livestrong Sporting Park. But the thing I admire most about Sporting KC is how this organization is run. It is locally owned and CEO Robb Heineman is heavily involved with the Kansas City community, and what they care about most is the product on the field and not the profit numbers for this quarter. Look for Sporting to feed off the momentum created last season and have a successful 2012 campaign. Edited by Max Lush

MANHATTAN, Kan. With the loss of junior forward Carolyn Davis early on in Sundays contest, senior forward Aishah Sutherland stepped into the hole Davis left to lead the Jayhawks at Kansas State. Sutherland dominated the glass with 17 rebounds while also leading the team in scoring with 15 points. Sutherland not only had the responsibility of carrying the frontcourt scoring load, but also getting freshman forward Chelsea Gardner and the rest of the remaining players ready to move forward without Davis. I just talked to them and tell them what they need to do, Sutherland said. I talked to Chelsea before she got in and took over for Carolyn, and told her to just stay focused and what she needed to do and how to guard the player. When something like that happens youve got to react. However, Sutherlands performance was not enough for Kansas to top Kansas State as it dropped its 11th straight in the Bramlage Coliseum, 47-43.

Like many of the recent games between the two squads, Kansas and Kansas State went on to be a defensive struggle with neither team shooting over 40 percent for the 40 minutes. Our games tend to be like heavyweight boxer fights, Kansas State coach Deb Patterson said. The first 10 rounds all their doing is hitting and pummeling each other, but you cant separate. Trailing by two points, with 17 seconds left, Kansas Goodrich drove the ball into the lane looking to create a shot near the basket to tie the game at 45. At the last moment, Goodrich dumped the ball off to freshman forward Chelsea Gardner, who replaced Davis. Gardner got a good look at the basket, but with a Wildcat defender staying right with her, the ball rattled off the left side of the rim. Kansas State grabbed the rebound and junior guard Brittany Chambers hit two free throws that sealed the game for the home team. The Jayhawks junior point guard Goodrich also had to move into

more of scoring role when shes more comfortable with being a pass-first player. Goodrich attacked the rim and made two big threes, including an NBA-range three to open the game. She finished with 13 points. While totaling 23 minutes in the game, Kansas was confident that Gardner could make the play to tie the game. Shes going to have to take that because shes sliding and moving, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Shes got to appreciate Angels confidence in her. If any team would be prepared for a knee injury to their star player in a crucial game it the Kansas womens basketball team. The team has seen three of its key contributors: Angel Goodrich, Tania Jackson, and CeCe Harper battle knee problems throughout their careers. With all that said, nobody could have been prepared for what happen to Carolyn Davis. With 16:26 remaining in the first half, Davis appeared to shoot a fairly routine basket on the left side of the lane, but a few seconds later

she collapsed to ground and lay motionless. After about ten minutes, Davis was raised from the floor and placed on a stretcher and taken to the Memorial Hospital in Manhattan for further evaluation. Her official diagnosis remains unclear, but a dislocated knee was a confirmed injury. Seeing knee injuries is apart of Bonnie Henricksons tenure thats plagued the Jayhawks in recent years. Worse part of the job, she said. The absolute worst part of the job. With Davis status for the season up in the air, and carrying an emotional toll, the Jayhawks were still proud of their overall effort in difficult circumstances. We weathered a storm and its ugly and we make it ugly and we talked about how weve got to control your emotions in life its now about the hand your dealt its how you play it, Henrickson said. edited by max Lush

after the loss of Carolyn Davis, sutherland pushed the rest of the frontcourt and herself to put the Jayhawks in a position to win. this was sutherlands seventh double-double of the season with 12 points and 17 rebounds, but her most impressive one with the absence of Davis. sutherland continued to knock down outside shots while also collecting the necessary defensive rebounds for the Jayhawks to stay in the game.

along with Gardner, Williams was forced into contributing eight minutes for the Jayhawks. Unfortunately for Williams could never get into the flow of the game and finished with four fouls on the night and zero points. With Davis seemingly out for an extended period of time, Williams will have a greater contribution to the roster in the coming weeks.

MENS BASKEtBALL REwIND Kansas struggles with pressure

KoRY cARPENtER
kcarpenter@kansan.com Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said his team was stuck in the mud in the first half of Saturdays contest with Kansas, a game in which the Jayhawks eventually won, 81-66. The final score could have been much different, however. The Jayhawks ended the opening half on an 11-2 run and took a commanding 51-24 lead to the locker room. Ford was determined to have a more positive second half. I said hey, were not going to hold anything back this second half, Ford said after the loss. Were going to be different than we were in the first in half in all aspects: mentality, approach, a lot of things. The Cowboys did just that, throwing a full-court press at the Jayhawks to start the second half. Sticking with his change everything mentality, Ford also called for a zone defense for most of the second half, which caused problems for the Kansas offense. It wasnt a traditional zone, Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. We were kind of just standing still and werent getting the ball moving fluidly and that ended up causing a couple turnovers and them getting out on breaks. Kansas committed 11 turnovers in the second half, a far cry from the three they committed in the opening half. The once 29-point lead was cut to 15 with just under 10 minutes to play and eventually got down to 12 at the 6:46 mark. It was half real bad and half real good, Kansas coach Bill Self said. As good as we were in the first half we were just about that bad in the second half. Taylor and junior guard Elijah Johnson combined for 17 points and 10 assists in the first half, but had just six points and one assist in the second half on 2-for-12 shooting. Self credited Ford for the adjustments and kicked himself for his halftime speech. I said Im really starting to enjoy watching you guys play, Self said. I told them that and I knew it was a bad mistake as soon as I said it and they gave me an opportunity to correct myself at the end of the game. Self added that his teams lack of depth lends itself to stretches of bad play because when one or two players are struggling, its not always possible to replace them both immediately, a luxury hes had with previous teams. He also said the final 20 minutes against the Cowboys could be a teaching moment down the road, a good experience he called it. When we play right, were pretty good, Self said. But when we get off on our own and dont share it or lose the edge a little bit, we get so average. Edited by Pat Strathman Former players of the 1952 championship team get recognized during half time. Kansas won the national title 80-63 against st. Johns.

KANSAS tIPoff
At A GLANCE
Following decisive victories at Baylor on Wednesday and against Oklahoma State on Saturday, the Jayhawks are 10-2 in the conference and tied for first place with Missouri. It may be easy to forget about the nearby Wildcats, considering that they are just 6-6 in the conference and they lost 67-49 at Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 4. Still, the Jayhawks would be wise to not overlook their in-state foes. Kansas State has lost three conference games by three points or less. Look for junior center Jeff Withey to keep up his aggressiveness by the basket. If he does so, the Jayhawks could walk out of Manhattan with an easy victory. If not, The Octagon of Doom could haunt them.

Finally, on Saturday, Taylor had an average game. Itd been a while, nine games to be exact, since he scored fewer than 15 points. But on Saturday, he missed all five of his three-point shots and scored 12 points, three in the last two minutes of the game. He still dished six assists and played solid defense in 37 minutes.

KANSAS StAtE
(17-7, 6-6) StARtERS
The Overland Park, Kan. native is in his second year for the Wildcats and has started all 24 games for Frank Martin this season. Hes averaging 10.4 points per game including a season-high 19 against Texas A&M earlier this month.

At A GLANCE
Sitting at 6-6 in the Big 12, Kansas State finds itself tied for fifth with Texas in the Big 12 as it welcomes Kansas to Bramlage Coliseum tonight. Coach Bill Self believes the Wildcats could easily be 9-3 in the league instead, and hes probably right. Three of the Wildcats six conference losses have been by three points or less. At 17-7 overall, the NCAA tournament is anything but a lock at this point with six regular season games and the conference tournament to go before selection Sunday. A marquee win over a top 10 opponent would do wonders for their tournament resume, and the Wildcats will certainly get their chances over the next week and a half with games against Mizzou and Baylor immediately following Monday nights tilt with Kansas.

Spradling

Johnson has been one of Kansas streakiest players throughout the season. He showed flashes of what he can do when he scored 23 points against UCLA in Novembers Maui Invitational. But in Big 12 play, he has scored in double-figures in backto-back games just once. He scored 12 points on Saturday. Will he reach double figures tonight?

McGruder is the most dangerous offensively for the Wildcats, averaging 14.3 points per game this season. He and Spradling are the only two Wildcats to start every game this year and he also leads his team in a number of offensive categories including field goals and minutes played.

Elijah Johnson, guard In six Big 12 road games, Johnson has made just five of 24 threepoint shots, or 20.8 percent. Coach Bill Self and his team Johnson dont really understand why the shots arent falling. Self has always said that Johnson makes his shots in practice. Senior guard Conner Teahan, second to Johnson with 43 three-point shot attempts in the conference season, said he doesnt think Johnson is worrying about previous misses. Sometimes, as plain as it sounds, the shots just dont go in the hole. If Withey or Robinson get in foul trouble, an improvement in Johnsons three-point shooting could save the day. Johnson hit three of six three-pointers on Saturday, but Manhattan is a different place than Lawrence.

Rodney McGruder, guard McGruder has slowed down a bit recently but has the potential McGruder for a great night offensively nearly every time out. Hell most likely need a great night too, if an upset is in order tonight. In Kansas loss to Iowa State, Cyclone forward Royce White had 16 points and 10 assists in the victory. Against Mizzou, Kansas allowed guard Marcus Denmon to go off for 29 points and nine rebounds. If Kansas State wants a similar outcome tonight, McGruder will need to have a similar performance offensively. Hes had 19 points or more on five occasions including two 30-point plus games against Baylor and Texas.

Releford

After the victory on Saturday, no member of the media mentioned his name. Self brought up Releford. Self said that even during the Jayhawks awful second, when they were outscored by the Cowboys 42-30, Releford still kept hustling when his teammates had already lost their edge.

Irving played just five minutes against Texas on Saturday and his minutes per game have slipped since Jan. 28 loss to Oklahoma. Hes averaging 6.2 points per game and has been quiet for most of the Big 12 season. He had seven points and three steals in the first meeting with Kansas.

jamar samuels, forWard

QUEStIoN MARK
Can Withey keep this up? Withey responded to his scoreless game at Missouri by completely owning the inside and scoring 25 points at Baylor last Wednesday. Then he followed it with another dominant outing against Oklahoma State, tallying 18 points, seven blocks and a career-high 20 rebounds. If you throw out Witheys goose egg in the Border Showdown, he has had eight consecutive games with a doublefigure scoring total. In the first five games of that eight-game stretch, he averaged 11 points. In the last three (Oklahoma, at Baylor, Oklahoma State), he averaged 19.3 points. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor talked about Withey as a necessary third scoring threat. At Kansas State, with the volume of the coliseum, Witheys numbers will depend on his energy.

Robinson

Withey shined on Saturday, so somehow Robinson posted a quiet 24 points and 14 rebounds. Its plain silly how easy it looks for Robinson when he soars in the air and pulls rebounds down with one hand or turns around off a pass and dunks with defenders watching.

tHomas roBinson, forWard

Samuels leads the team in rebounding with 6.1 per game. Hes also the third leading scorer with 9.1 points per game but is a bigger threat on the glass. In the first meeting with Kansas on Jan. 4 Samuels finished with 12 points and 5 rebounds.
Samuels

QUEStIoN MARK
Where Is the offense? In the first meeting between these schools on Jan. 4 in Allen Fieldhouse, the Wildcats were held to a staggering 49 points for the game. For reference, the Jayhawks have scored more than 50 points in one half on five different occasions this season. Kansas States 72.4 points per game are just 79th in the country and they have been held under 70 points seven times in Big 12 play. Their conference victories have usually been grind-it-out affairs and it looks to be the only recipe for an upset tonight as well. The Wildcat offense doesnt have the weapons to outscore Kansas, but theyll have a chance if they can slow down the Jayhawks and get timely scoring.

tHomas gipson, forWard

Withey

The Baylor Bears were ranked No. 6, but their interior defense has been suspect in both their losses against Kansas. Oklahoma State had no player taller than six-foot-eight guarding him consistently. If Withey beats up on Kansas States post players in Manhattan, youll start to ponder possibilities in March.

jeff WitHey, Center

A true freshman, Gipson has started 21 games for Frank Martin this season. Hes a big body down low at 6-foot-7, 275 pounds but has been rather inconsistent in conference play and has struggled to see the floor at times, getting just 20 minutes of action once in the last five games.

Kansas is rattled by the hostile crowd. At worst, Bramlage Coliseum will be the second toughest crowd the Jayhawks will face all season. They failed to finish Missouri off in the hornets nest that was Mizzou Arena, and Bramlage will be no different tonight.

Kansas keeps up the defensive pressure. The Jayhawks have given up less than 75 points in every game since Dec. 19, a span in which theyve gone 13-2. Kansas State has trouble scoring at times and an impressive game by Kansas defensively could equate to a big victory for the Jayhawks.

Michigan States defense outlasts Ohio State

ASSocIAtED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio The Big Tens best shooting team over the first 11 conference games was far from its best on Saturday. Thanks in large part to 11thranked Michigan States withering, physical defense, No. 3 Ohio State hit just 26 percent from the field almost half as good as its 49 percent coming in in a surprising 58-48 loss on Saturday Asked how the Buckeyes handled Michigan States defense, point guard Aaron Craft had a simple answer. Look at the final score, he said. Not so well. Jared Sullinger hit his average with 17 points and added 16 rebounds, but he said the culprit in the defense was that the Buckeyes lost track of who they are. We looked out of sync, he said after hitting just five of 15 shots from the field. If we executed our offense, I think some of those shots would have gone in. We went out of our system. Everybody didnt pay attention to plays, didnt run plays correctly. Coach Thad Matta said this could be a turning point for his team. Its got to be a learning experience for a relatively young basketball team, he said. We have to look at why we didnt play well. We have to get those things corrected. First and foremost, weve got to stay together. Had the Buckeyes (21-4, 9-3) won, they would have owned a two-game stranglehold on the Big Ten with six games left. Now theyre deadlocked atop the league with the Spartans (20-5, 9-3). And Michigan State hosts the rematch in East Lansing on March 4. Youre still sitting atop the conference, Matta said. Well see what kind of a team we have when we come back tomorrow for practice. Ohio native Adreian Payne scored 15 points, Keith Appling 14 and Draymond Green had 12 for Michigan State, which snapped a three-game losing skid to the Buckeyes while erasing Ohio States 39-game home winning streak. The Spartans built a 10-point lead at the half and never allowed

Sullinger, usually a threat to toss quick passes back to perimeter shooters, was attacked from all angles by Michigan States cloying defense. He ended up with 10 turnovers. He said the Spartans were no more physical than anybody else in the conference. Thats every night in the Big Ten, he said. Ohio State pulled to 44-40 on a 15-footer by Sullinger with 6:24 left, but Appling hit two free throws and Derrick Nix coaxed in a baby hook to push the lead back to eight. Payne followed by banking in a left-handed shot over Sullinger, before Sullinger was called for a charge to pick up his fourth foul with two minutes left. Green then drove around Deshaun Thomas for a baseline layup to stretch the lead to 10. Ohio State never got closer than eight again. We had a couple guys who defended pretty well, we had a couple of guys when we got it in the post scored, we had a couple guys kick it out, we had a couple of big threess in the first half, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. In general, we played pretty good, maybe one of our best games in a lot of ways and we still barely beat them. Deshaun Thomas and William Buford, averaging a combined 30 points, totaled just 12 each hitting just two of 12 shots from

the field. No wonder the Buckeyes were held 29 points under their season scoring average. Defensively we probably did a good enough job not a great job but a good enough job to win the game, Matta said. It all came down to our inability to put the ball in the basket today.

Phil Mickelsons close victory over Tiger Woods stuns crowd

ASSocIAtED PRESS
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. He knew his game was getting close, and he broke through with flair Sunday in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. That turned out to be Phil Mickelson, not Tiger Woods. In a big, big way. Mickelson went from a six-shot deficit to a two-shot lead in just six holes, closed with an 8-under 64 for a two-shot victory over Charlie Wi and gave Woods a Sunday thrashing not many saw coming. Mickelson and Woods played in the second-to-last group, and Mickelson beat him by 11 shots. He won for the fourth time at Pebble Beach, and became only the ninth player in PGA Tour history with 40 wins. Pebble Beach ... it feels awesome no matter what number it is, Mickelson said. It was anything but that for Woods, who was reduced to a supporting role on a cool, overcast day along the Pacific. Right when it looked as though Woods might still be in the game after holing a bunker shot for birdie on the par-3 12th, Mickelson answered by pouring in a 30-foot par putt. Mickelson seized control for good with a 40-foot par save on the 15th hole, and he played it safe Mickelson is capable of that every once in a while on the 18th hole and still made birdie. Wi, who started the final round with a three-shot lead, four-putted for double bogey on the opening hole and never quite recovered. He closed with back-to-back birdies for an even-par 72 and his fifth runnerup finish on tour. It was the third straight week on tour that the winner started the final round at least six shots behind a 54hole leader going after his first tour victory. The shocker, though, was how Woods fell apart. He has been taking big strides with his game over the past few months, and he looked poised to break through after a 67 in the third round at Pebble Beach got him to within four shots of the lead. But he failed to make birdie on the easy opening stretch at Pebble Beach, and even when he made his first birdie at the par-5 sixth, Mickelson poured in a 20-foot eagle putt to take the outright lead. I didnt hit it as bad as the score indicated, but I putted awful, Woods said. As good as I felt on the greens yesterday, I felt bad today. Anything I tried to do wasnt working. Consequently, I made a ton of mistakes on the green. Two weeks ago in his 2012 debut at Abu Dhabi, Woods was tied for the lead with unheralded Robert Rock going into the final round and didnt break par, tying for third. Woods used to own Mickelson, but that changed at the 2007 Deutsche Bank Championship. This was the fifth straight time Mickelson posted the better score when playing in the same group as Woods in the final round. Mickelson has won three of those tournaments, although they have yet to be in the final group on those occasions. Mickelson started his season sluggishly, failing to crack the top 25 at the Humana Challenge and Phoenix Open, and missing the cut at Torrey Pines. He said his putting was as good as ever, and it was a matter of getting his game in sync. It simply sang on Sunday, mostly his amazing touch on the greens a long eagle putt at No. 2 that caught part of the hole, long two-putts for par and enough birdies to make him a winner at Pebble Beach again. It feels just amazing, Mickelson said. I felt like my game was there,

Tiger Woods shakes hands with Phil MIckelson on the 18th green at Pebble Beach Golf links during the final round of the aT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-am golf tournament. but coming out the first couple of weeks, I posted some horrendous scores and started to question it. To be able to play the way I did the last 18 holes really means a lot. Mickelson finished at 17-under 269 and earned $1.152 million for his first win since the Houston Open last year. He will move to No. 11 in the world. Ricky Barnes closed with a 67 and finished third. Kevin Na tied for fifth and earned a spot in the Match Play Championship in two weeks at Arizona. Wi talked about battling the demons of self-doubt, and they must have had the first green surrounded. Equipped with a three-shot lead to start the final round, Wi four-putted from 35 feet above the hole for a double bogey. Just like that, the game was on. That still wasnt enough for Woods to get in on the action. Standing in the sixth fairway, Woods was only one shot out of the lead, yet the sleeves of his red shirt and his name on the leaderboard didnt seem to make him stand out the way it has before. The opening holes had something to do with that, and watching Mickelson play alongside him. Mickelson nearly holed an eagle putt across the second green; Woods missed a 5-foot birdie putt that stayed two inches above the hole. Mickelson holed a 15-foot birdie putt down the hill at the fourth; Woods had a 30-foot putt up the hill that was 3 feet short. Mickelsons tee shot on the par-3 fifth settled a foot from the cup. Woods missed his birdie putt from 12 feet. Yes, there was a big charge at Pebble Beach from Lefty. Mickelson started the day six

shots behind and went two shots ahead with an eagle on the sixth hole. Woods then vanished in a series of blunders missing a two ans a half-foot par putt on the seventh, missed a 5-foot par putt on the eighth, and a third straight bogey at No. 9 when he hit his approach into the bunker. The only hope for Woods came on the 12th, when he holed his bunker shot. It looked like it might be a two-shot swing, pulling him to within three of the lead, until Mickelson made his 30-footer for par.

Withey playing large

mAx RothmAN
mrothman@kansan.com Opposition beware: junior center Jeff Withey is falling on the scorers table for possessions now. Oklahoma State freshman guard Cezar Guerrero tried to up-fake Withey, who held his ground. A half-second later, when Guerrero took a shot, Withey soared with an extended right arm and blocked it. He tipped the ball to the sideline, beat Guerrero to the ball and threw it to his teammate, junior guard Travis Releford, as he fell on the scorers table. Withey ran from the scorers table to the other end of the floor and demanded the ball. Once he got it, he drew two defenders and tossed a no-look, over-the-head pass to junior forward Kevin Young for the wide-open dunk. It was this hustle and skill from Withey, who finished with 18 points, a career-high 20 rebounds and seven blocks, that propelled No. 7 Kansas (20-5, 10-2) to an 81-66 victory over Oklahoma State Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse. Teams focus on Thomas a lot, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said of junior forward Thomas Robinson. When Jeff is playing well, it gives us that extra threat. With Withey flying all over the court for blocks, deflections, rebounds and points, Robinson reached 24 points and 14 rebounds, his 18th doubledouble, rather easily. I feel like Im not even working to score anymore now with the way Jeff is playing, Robinson said. Led by Witheys energy and production, the Jayhawks broke the game open early and led 51-24 going into halftime. However in the second half, perhaps because they felt comfortable with the lead, the Jayhawks played sloppily, committing 11 turnovers and succumbing to the Cowboys full-court pressure. It was unbelievable to watch from my standpoint, coach Bill Self said. Just making grade-

school plays. Despite his teams secondhalf carelessness, Withey never slowed down. Even when he didnt block a shot, he challenged Oklahoma State shooters with a shot-altering hand, ready to swat. The fieldhouse crowd adored the energy, going wild for every one of his triumphs. Withey was just one week removed from a scoreless night at Missouri. Coach was really angry about that, Withey said. He feels like I just let them punk me. On Wednesday at Baylor, Withey scored a career-high 25 points. It signified potential, not yet consistency. Now hes got two consecutive colossal performances, both times taking advantage of the attention that Robinson draws. He fully understands hes playing with the best player in America, Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said. Thats good for Kansas, but bad for us. Edited by Pat Strathman

Doubles play helps tennis take both weekend matches

coRBIN mIhELIc
cmihelic@kansan.com The Kansas womens tennis team remains perfect in dual match play after taking down Illinois State and University of Texas El Paso over the weekend. A lot of our girls stepped up and helped the other girls, coach Amy Hall-Holt said. Were just really fortunate that we are competing as hard as we are. Yesterday, the Jayhawks overcame singles losses from Dylan Windom and Monica Pezzotti to defeat a struggling Illinois State team, 5-2. Pezzotti, a junior, has been forced to fill the No. 1 singles void left by senior Ekaterina Morozova for this seasons dual matches. Pezzotti has already had four different singles or doubles matches decided in an extra set or tiebreaker this season. Morozova is still a member of the team, but will not be competing in any matches this spring. Its not like shes getting beat really, really bad, Hall-Holt said referring to Pezzotti. Shes competing for those points against good No. 1 players. Im really happy with Monicas performance and the way she is competing right now. The team won two of the three doubles matches against Illinois State. Paulina Los, Claire Dreyer and Victoria Khanevskaya all won their singles matches against the Redbirds. Freshman newcomer Maria Belen Luduea had the fourth singles victory yesterday in what Hall-Holt called a not a pretty match. Luduea, who joined the team this semester from Curico, Chile, has yet to lose a match as a Jayhawk, remaining undefeated at the No. 5 singles spot and playing doubles with Windom. (Ludueas) demeanor on the court and her excitement about being here on the team competing has actually filtered out through the team, Hall-Holt said. Its very exciting to watch her compete. She was struggling with going from playing on clay court to hard court, but she has adjusted so quickly since shes been here. On Friday, the team defeated UTEP, also 5-2, sweeping doubles play and using that momentum to close the Miners out in singles. Los (No. 2 singles) and Khanevskaya (No. 6 singles) both lost in straight sets, but not before the dual had already been decided. The team will take tomorrow off before having two more home dual matches this coming weekend against Bradley on Saturday and Arkansas-Little Rock on Sunday. Were just going to get in and view video and watch the little things we need to work on, HallHolt said. Some of us need to work on returns, and serves and different situations. Well just review that and work individually with the girls and get them ready for Saturdays match.

The Kansas track and field team had some major accomplishments this weekend in two out-of-state meets. Half of the team went to Seattle, Wash., for the Flotrack Husky Classic, while the other half went to Fayetteville, Ark., for the Tyson Invitational, where they met with some of the best track and field programs in the nation. The womens 4x400-meter relay race in Arkansas was the highlight of the weekend. Four schools set an

automatic qualifying time for the NCAA national meet in Boise, Idaho, on March 9, including Kansas. The 4x4 relay team of Denesha Morris, Paris Daniels, Diamond Dixon and Taylor Washington did not win the event title, but still managed to punch their ticket to Boise, along with LSU, Arkansas and Texas. These teams are now the four fastest in the nation, and the only teams that have automatically qualified for nationals. Senior Rebeka Stowe once again established herself as the Universitys

fastest 3,000-meter runner in history. Stowe broke former teammate Lauren Bonds record. In Washington, junior Andrea Geubelle won another title in the triple jump. Her best jump of the day was just an inch short of her best this season, which is the second-best jump in the nation so far. Geubelle also finished second in the long jump, with fellow Jayhawk horizontal jumper junior Francine Simpson winning the competition.
