a day in the life
BReAKfAST wITh BeRnIe
Not long afer Chancellor Ber-
nadette Gray-Little wakes up in
the morning, she might have a
meeting in a room full of pointed
representatives from the NCAA.
Or an on-site visit to the Univer-
sity of Kansas Medical Center. Or
a discussion of novel curriculum
with other university presidents
over a plate of eggs. Or she might
have to make a statement about
an honorable dean who took a job
elsewhere simply because he or
she was looking for another op-
portunity. All this before lunch.
Te papers always want a state-
ment about everything, Gray-Lit-
tle said.
Representing the University and
its short- and long-term goals can
be a day-to-day grind. Gray-Little
said that she doesnt turn agen-
das into worries; she just keeps
plugging away until she is satis-
fed with the shape of her day. A
challenge, she said, is continuing
full immersion in daily activities
while keeping the future in mind.
With all the responsibilities
press conferences and releases, of-
fce work and traveling theres
one base that Gray-Little aims
to constantly consider: the stu-
dents. She regularly meets with
the student body president and
vice president. She ofen attends
on-campus speeches, events and
receptions that are fush with
students. She has even arranged
meetings and meals just to be
closer to students.
One of the things about the
University that continues to be
attractive to me is how much the
students and alumni care about
it, Gray-Little said.
Tis persistent attraction stays
with Gray-Little and guides her
wherever she goes.
She recently visited Washington
D.C. to diagram the future of aca-
demia with other educators from
across the country. Less glamor-
ous, but equally important to her,
Gray-Little also stopped by Pratt,
Hays, Garden City and Salina for
various reasons like award cere-
monies and speaking with alumni,
politicians and journalists.
I try to make sure that I have
opportunities to be in touch with
communities around the state
where our students come from or
where our graduates go and live,
Gray-Little said.
Whether she is relaxing down-
town, strolling on Jayhawk Boule-
vard or cheering for the Jayhawks
at Allen Fieldhouse, Gray-Little is
ofen trying to fnd new ways to
encourage casual dialogue with
students.
Just informally, Ill see students
and theyll say, Are you the chan-
cellor? And strike up a conversa-
tion like that, Gray-Little said.
Be it a public statement, a writ-
ten plan or a one-on-one talk with
a high school junior mulling op-
tions for the future, Gray-Little
said she sticks to one theme:
What can I say to this student
to let him or her know that is the
kind of place that would be a good
place for them to be?

Lawrence might be far from
any foreign country, but that
cant stop students from expe-
riencing foreign cultures this
week.
Countries and cultures from
all over the world will be rep-
resented this week as part of
International Awareness Week
(IAW), which was organized by
the International Student As-
sociation, a student group with
members from more than 50
diferent countries.
Amanda Murphy, president of
the International Student Asso-
ciation and a junior from Over-
land Park, said that the events
throughout the week provide an
opportunity for students from
all countries to come together.
We really do want to get the
international community in-
volved and allow them to show
of their culture and be proud
of their heritage, but this time
around were really trying to tar-
get the domestic community,
Murphy said.
Murphy said that she has
lived in Kansas her whole life
and was drawn to the organiza-
tion because she wanted to learn
more about her mothers Indian
culture as well as other cultures
around the word. International
Awareness Week provides stu-
dents with the same opportunity
to connect with international
students.
Te week was kicked of yes-
terday afernoon, literally, by
m e m b e r s
of the Tae
Kwon Do
club, who
broke boards
with high
kicks and
shattered ce-
ment blocks
with their
hands as part of a martial arts
demonstration.
George Kwok, a doctoral stu-
dent from Hong Kong, was one
of the students demonstrat-
ing his skills during yesterdays
demonstration. Kwok is also an
international student who said
his experience at the University
has been more positive than at
other schools he has attended
during his time studying in the
United States.
It feels much warmer, Kwok
said. Te people are nicer.
Events later in the week in-
clude a soccer tournament,
movie night and an expo where
diferent students and organiza-
tions will set up booths with in-
formation about their countries.
Israel is also the focus of cel-
ebration this week, although
not as a formal part of IAW. Is-
rael Week includes lectures, a
celebration for
Israels indepen-
dence day and
plenty of free
food. Events fo-
cus more on the
culture of the
country than
the politics, said
Daniel Siegel, a
junior from Overland Park and
one of the students involved
with planning Israel Week.
Although the event is not part
of the IAW, they share the com-
mon goal of exposing students
to new cultures.
At KU, its so easy to get stuck
in your own social group, Siegel
said. Tey dont ever cross the
boundaries like they should.

university testing address
system this afternoon
Students on campus today will hear
the University test its emergency public
address system at 12:30 p.m. The ad-
dress will include a demonstration of an
external speaker array.
According to a University news Re-
lease, a three-second alert tone will be
followed by the test message. Students
and staff should continue their normal
activities during the tests.
About a minute after the public ad-
dress system test, the external speaker
array will be tested. According to the
release, the array can be heard both
inside and outside buildings. The array
will begin in the west parking area of
Murphy hall, reaching all areas within
the vicinity.
About 80 buildings, or 98 percent of
academic areas, have speakers for the
public address system. The buildings
include those with the highest popula-
tion of students, staff and faculty. emer-
gency dispatchers can provide real-time
message to a specifc building, an area
of buildings or to all capable buildings.
The University encourages students,
staff and faculty to sign up for other
emergency notifcation strategies in-
cluding text messages, email alerts and
web page alerts. for more information,

two streets named for
former football coach
Two stretches of lawrence streets
will be renamed after former KU
football coach and player Don fam-
brough, the University announced
Monday in a press release. 11th
Street between Mississippi and Mis-
souri streets will soon be known as
fambrough Drive, and the stretch
of Maine Street behind Memorial
Stadiums press box will be called
fambrough way.
coaching the Jayhawks from
1971 to 1974 and 1979 to 1982,
fambrough passed away this
past September at the age of 88.
fambrough was known for his effect
on players, love of the University
and dislike of rival Missouri.
The official renaming ceremony
will be held Saturday April 28 at
11:15 am at the intersection of 11th
and Maine.
Don fambrough was an icon
not just on the KU campus, but
across the state of Kansas, said
Kansas Director of Athletics Shea-
hon Zenger in the press release.

ELECTIoNS
ASTON, Pa. Republican pres-
idential candidate Mitt Romney on
Monday embraced a student loan
proposal that President Barack
Obama is selling on the campaign
trail and refused to endorse Sen.
Marco Rubios conservative immi-
gration plan aimed at helping
young illegal immigrants.
The two policy positions sig-
naled an effort by Romney to
move to the political center as
he works to court critical general
election swing voters including
young voters and Hispanic voters
after a brutal primary fight.
I think young voters in this
country have to vote for me if
theyre really thinking of whats in
the best interest of the country and
whats in their personal best inter-
est, Romney said as he stood next
to Rubio, R-Fla., and answered
reporters questions for the first
time since effectively securing the
GOP presidential nomination.
House Republicans oppose leg-
islation to temporarily extend low-
interest rates for student loans.
Obama has been pushing Congress
for the extension and planned a
three-state tour this week to warn
students of the potential finan-
cial catastrophe they will face if
Congress fails to act.
Romney refused to embrace a
Rubio proposal that would allow
young illegal immigrants to
remain in the United States to
work or study. He did say there
were provisions to commend
it and that his campaign would
study the issue.
Romney said that all illegal
immigrants should return to their
home country and get in line to be
eligible for U.S. citizenship. Rubios
still-evolving bill would allow ille-
gal immigrants who graduated
from high school and have no
criminal record to obtain a non-
immigrant visa. They could stay
in the United States, obtain a driv-
ers license and work or continued
their studies but would have no
special path to citizenship.
Romneys answers illustrate the
careful line he has to walk as he
transitions from the primary to
the general election, where hell
have to tussle with Obama for
support from the Hispanic, female
and young voters who propelled
Obama to victory in 2008.

Two killed and nine injured in Sudanese bomb attack on South Sudan market
RUBKoNA, South Sudan Suda-
nese warplanes bombed a market and an
oil feld in South Sudan on Monday, killing
at least two people after Sudanese ground
forces had reportedly crossed into South
Sudan with tanks and artillery, elevating
the risk of all-out war between the two old
enemies.
The international community urged
Sudan and South Sudan to talk out their
disputes, which include arguments over
where the border lies and over ownership
of oil resources.
But Sudanese President Omar al-
Bashir vowed Monday to press ahead with
his military campaign until all southern
troops or affliated forces are chased out
of the north.
The bombs fell from two MiG 29 jets
onto Rubkonas market, turning stalls
where food and other household items are
sold into fery heaps of twisted metal.
South Sudan military spokesman Col.
Philip Aguer said two were killed in that
attack and nine wounded.
KIEV, Ukraine Ukraines two
biggest pro-Western opposition par-
ties announced Monday they will be
joining forces in the fall parliamen-
tary election in order to challenge
President Viktor Yanukovychs grip
on power.
The parties led by jailed former
Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and
former parliament speaker Arseniy
Yatsenyuk said they will work togeth-
er to reverse the democratic rollback
that took place since Yanukovych
came to power two years ago.
The alliance marks an attempt
to break with years of infghting
within the pro-Western camp that
allowed the pro-Russia Yanukovych,
whose fraud-tainted election victory
was annulled in the 2004 Orange
Revolution street protests, to make
a comeback in the 2010 presidential
election.
We will form a democratic major-
ity in the Verkhovna Rada (parlia-
ment), will limit Yanukovychs unlim-
ited power and return the power to
the Ukrainian people, Tymoshenko,
51, and Yatsenyuk, 37, who both ran
against Yanukovych on a pro-Western
platform, said in a joint statement.
There is no time to lose, its time to
fght and win together!
Experts and opposition activists
hailed the union with cautious opti-
mism, saying it was high time that
opposition leaders sacrifced their
personal ambitions and united. But
they noted that the union was fragile
and did not include two other key op-
position parties.
PYoNGYANG, North Korea
North Koreas military warned
people on Monday of imminent spe-
cial actions that would reduce South
Koreas conservative government to
ashes within minutes, sharply esca-
lating the rhetoric against its south-
ern rival.
The threat from the Norths mili-
tary leadership comes amid concerns
that North Korea may be plotting
another provocation in the wake of
an unsuccessful rocket launch con-
demned by the U.N. Security Council
as a violation of a ban against mis-
sile activity.
North Korea characterized the
April 13 rocket launch as a failed bid
to send a satellite into space not
a disguised test of missile technology
but then followed up two days
later by unveiling a new long-range
missile at a military birthday parade
for late President Kim Il Sung.
There are new concerns that North
Korea may conduct a nuclear test as
it did after rocket launches in 2006
and 2009. South Korean intelligence
offcials say recent satellite images
show the North has been digging a
new tunnel in what could be prepa-
ration for a third atomic test.
Nuclear weapons are not the
monopoly of the United States, Lt.
Col. Nam Dong Ho said on Monday
on the North Korean side of the De-
militarized Zone, saying North Korea
needs atomic weapons to defend it-
self against the threat of attack from
the U.S.

Sudanese bombs fell onto Rubkonas market in South Sudan on Monday, killing at least two people and injuring nine.
The attack elevates the risk of all-out war between Sudan and South Sudan.
STATE
TOPEKA Kansas Secretary of
State Kris Kobach publicly warned
legislators Monday that a potential
constitutional crisis is brewing be-
cause the states political boundar-
ies havent been adjusted yet, but he
was wary of a proposal to postpone
the states primary election.
Kobach, a Republican and Kan-
sas chief elections ofcial, said he
worries that some members of the
GOP-controlled Legislature believe
that the Kansas Supreme Court can
redraw legislative districts if law-
makers fail to do so.
But the Kansas Constitution says
only that the high court reviews
proposals approved by legislators
and determines whether they are
valid or whether lawmakers must
try again.
A bitter split among conservative
and moderate Republicans has pre-
vented the Senate from approving
legislation that redraws members
districts. Te House has approved
a bipartisan plan for adjusting state
representatives districts, but it has
stalled in the Senate. Both cham-
bers have approved a congressional
redistricting plan and killed the
other chambers proposal.
Attorney General Derek
Schmidt, also a Republican, al-
ready has warned legislators and
GOP Gov. Sam Brownback that the
state may have to delay its primary
election if redistricting issues arent
resolved quickly. He said the state
also may face legal costs if residents
sue because theres no agreement
on new congressional districts.
Legislators return Wednesday
from their annual spring break,
and the session wrap-up could last
until mid-May. But Kobach said
problems will arise if new district
boundaries arent approved by May
10, which is why he held a news
conference to sound the alarm
bell.
Te clock is ticking, and they
have to act quickly when they come
back into session, he said. Tis is
a real potential for crisis here.
Legislators must redraw their
districts and the states four con-
gressional districts to account for
shifs in population over the past
decade.
Kansas law says that if they dont
complete redistricting by May 10,
the candidate fling deadline will be
postponed from June 1 to June 11.

Redistricting arguments may
delay Kansas primary election
cAIRo Egyptian authorities
have denied permission to eight
American nonproft groups to operate
locally, including a center headed by
former President Jimmy Carter that
monitors elections, a ministry offcial
said Monday.
The move to deny permission to The
Carter Center and others comes only a
month ahead of Egypts frst presiden-
tial elections since the ouster of long-
time authoritarian leader Hosni Muba-
rak last year. The rejection of Carters
organization, which tries to ensure free
and fair elections by observing votes
around the world, raises doubts about
whether Egypts crucial ballot will be
transparent.
The licenses were denied because
the groups activities breach the
countrys sovereignty, the Social Af-
fairs Ministry offcial said. He also
warned that if any of the groups at-
tempt to operate without permits they
will be penalized in accordance with
the law, which makes it unlikely that
The Carter Center would be allowed to
observe the upcoming vote.
Egypts military rulers allowed The
Carter Center to have 40 people ob-
serve the multistage parliamentary
elections that ran November to Febru-
ary. The government also allowed local
groups to observe the elections, and
had judges monitoring in polling sta-
tions throughout the country.
The Carter Center said the vote was
generally fair.
Military rulers have come under
criticism for going after rights groups
and civil society organizations in re-
cent months, specifcally ones with
American ties.
A recent investigation into alleged
violations by U.S. democracy groups
operating in Egypt led to the worst
diplomatic row between Cairo and
Washington in decades. American em-
ployees were accused of using illegally
obtained funds to promote activities
that undermined stability.
The diplomatic row eventually
cooled when they were allowed to
leave Egypt after intense U.S. efforts
and pressure. But the case against the
NGOs is ongoing.

ORLANDO, Fla. John Cu-
sack has heard the sniping. Hes
Internet savvy, a big-time Twit-
ter user. So he knew Edgar Allan
Poe fanatics were complaining
about the movie he was making
about the writer. He knows the
early reviews of Te Raven, in
which he plays the poet/ thriller
writer as a haunted man on the
trail of a serial killer, havent
been kind.
Poe probably deserved bet-
ter than this movie which turns
his heritage into a sub Se7en-
style serial killer thriller, snifed
Britains Birmingham Post. But
Cusack isnt taking that lying
down.
Somebody Ive read said,
Oh, he wasnt some heroic man
of action. And I go, Oh really?
He went to West Point. He was
kicked out, but he was there. He
got in. And he was a swimmer.
Its not a stretch to think of him
trying to solve a mystery, a series
of crimes. He had an analytical,
mathematical mind. You can see
that in the writing. He called it
rationation. But basically, he in-
vented forensics in his fction.
And Cusack is just getting
started. An actor fond of fnding
the dark side in light characters
and bringing lightness to the
dark ones, Cusack found Poe to
be right up his alley. At 45, Cu-
sack has lived his movie-making
life by making more interesting
choices than commercial ones.
Hes just hoping flmgoers get
into Poe the way he got into the
author of Te Tell-Tale Heart,
Te Raven and Te Cask of
Amontillado the 19th cen-
tury author who popularized the
short story, invented the thriller,
detective fction and, some say,
science fction. Te Raven,
directed by James McTeague
(V For Vendetta), re-imagines
Poes last days and the mystery
surrounding his death.
I loved the conceit, here,
Cusack says. Poe getting caught
up in one of his stories, trapped
by a fan who is mimicking the
murders in his work.
He wrote about gruesome
crimes ... And he wrote about
people going mad, as in Te
Tell-Tale Heart. Te movie ac-
knowledges Poes mental state,
but makes note of his scathing
wit and wicked wordplay.

Couples challenged to
seven days of sex
Turns out those guys on The Cli-
ent List arent the only ones looking
to get busy on Lifetime.
Starting Thursday, couples in need
of a marital tune-up will be seen
challenging themselves to have sex
for seven days (or nights) in a row in
the aptly titled 7 Days of Sex.
As we all know by now, reality
television is all about the challenges
and the journeys (though the journeys
here dont extend much farther than
from the kitchen to the bedroom).
These seven-day challenges
some have extended them to 30
days, or even to 365 have be-
come popular in recent years in some
churches looking to stress the joys of
lifetime commitment. And there are
at least a couple of how-to books out
for people who need help grasping
the concept.

Michael Moore attacks
Fox News for hacking
nEW YoRK michael moore has
taken aim at Fox news for its politics
countless times over his long career.
But the provocateur flmmaker now
believes that the news Corp.-owned
cable channel could soon be caught
up in something far more nefarious
than simple ideological sins.
Im interested to see what
happens with Fox news and phone
hacking, moore said, referring to
the news Corp. scandal that has
resulted in a number of arrests
and high-level resignations with-
in the British section of Rupert
murdochs empire. I really cant
believe it just happens in Great
Britain. Because really, who cares
about just hacking phones over
there?
Ill make a prediction about
something I think the phone-
hacking thing murdoch is involved in
... is going to be investigated, and
it will be found that its been going
on here too, he said. I just have a
gut feeling.

T
raditionally, the term
monogamy has been
defined as being mar-
ried to one person at a time.
However, the definition has since
broadened to include merely
being in one committed relation-
ship with one person at a time.
With many college students
becoming more serious with
their partners now than in high
school and before, monoga-
mous is a term that defines a lot
of our relationships.
Also, I imagine many of us
would consider ourselves to be
serial monogamists, or those
who tend to exclusively date one
person after another with rela-
tively little time between rela-
tionships.
In general, this particular
dating style is not uncom-
mon, but its sometimes treated
like it should be nonexistent.
However, it is a dating style, it
is legitimate, and its here at the
University.
Comrades, Im one of you,
and today its my mission to
make a case in defense of our
dating lives. The stigma that
serial monogamy is harmful
needs to be challenged, and here,
Im bringing that to you.
Popular blog host Datingish
features many posts about serial
monogamists and discusses how
the dating style works and how
to spot said monogamists.
To put it into context,
Datingish is like Xanga (cue the
nostalgia) for blogs specifically
about relationships and all that
they encompass. Bloggers from
far and wide post their stories
about different elements of dat-
ing and get feedback from other
users on them.
One in particular that both-
ered me is a blog post from
October 2008 called, Serial
Monogamists How Can You
Spot One? User uhm_roar
opened the entry by telling the
story of a friend who dumped
a girl after two years and was
crushed when she became cozy
with a new beau six weeks later.
The writer said he was a
victim of serial monogamy
and suggested that readers post
comments about stories and tips
on the signs that their next love
interest is, God forbid, one of
them.
Im not sure where to begin
on why I find fault in not only
the blog post itself but also in
many of the comments below it.
Many of the users comments
highlight past run-ins with serial
monogamists and detailed sto-
ries beginning with I used to
be a serial monogamist and the
like.
At what point did we start
treating serial monogamy like
its a crime or something to be
quarantined? When did wait-
ing months or years between
relationships translate into being
mature or leading a healthy dat-
ing life?
One argument is that when
people move on quickly, it may
suggest that the relationship they
delve into next was something
that began budding in their rela-
tionship before. However, this
isnt necessarily the case.
Many things in the dating
world are not just black and
white. However, exclusivity is.
We have a boy/girlfriend, or
we dont. We are committed, or
were not. It really is that simple.
And when were not commit-
ted, theres nothing wrong with
moving on in six weeks. As one
of my ghosts of boyfriends past
put it two weeks ago, your exes
are not obligated to stay out of
another relationship as long as
you are.
Because after all, Beyoncs
right: if you like it, you really
should put a ring on it. Not say-
ing you should propose. But if
you dont want to lose it, dont
break up with it.
The only person who can be
the victim of serial monogamy
is the serial monogamist him/
herself. Serial monogamy
becomes harmful when the
person depends on being in a
relationship to be happy. Until
that point, serial monogamy is
legitimate, just like any other
dating style.
Also, it is a mistake to com-
pare being a serial monogamist
to being a player. Playing some-
one always requires an element
of deceit. There is nothing
inherently deceptive about serial
monogamy. Therefore, those
who are not like us in being seri-
al monogamists would be unwise
to put us at that level.
Im a big believer that no
number of partners is too high
and that no amount of time
between relationships is too
short. All that matters is that
serial monogamists, like any
other kind of dater, are leading a
healthy and manageable lifestyle.
Being in relationships
becomes problematic when
we are not smart about them
and cannot function without
someone to go home to at night.
However, this isnt a product of
serial monogamy. Its a product
of an internal problem, which we
do need to fix.
Whether we date seriously,
casually, frequently or sporadi-
cally, we all need to understand
and respect the legitimacy of
dating styles, even if we dont
share them. As long as we are
honest with ourselves and those
who come into contact with us,
we should not get so hot and
bothered by any particular dat-
ing style.
Serial monogamy is simply
a reflection of the values and
interests of the people who live
within it. Sometimes I can be
cynical, but many serial monog-
amists are die-hard romantics
and believe in the power of inti-
mate relationships. Sometimes,
they truly are just like the rest of
you.

M
others Day is still a few
weeks distant, but since
Im sure to forget on
May 13th and cant recycle excuses
to my mom as to why I even for-
got to call, this column will show
her that I do, occasionally, think
of her. Also, print media is more
economical than perfume and
flowers, and my ma insists that I
save for law school.
My mother (whose lovely name
I withhold for her own reputa-
tions sake) is a great woman, who
deserves better offspring than
me. Fortunately for her, she has
two more Obermeier sons, well-
adjusted and arguably my superi-
ors (they dont read the UDK, so
please dont tell them I wrote that).
Every time I tell somebody that
it was just me and my two broth-
ers (unintentionally not reckon-
ing my dad), the inevitable reply
was, Oh! Your poor mother!
In retrospect, that was the most
appropriate sentiment one could
express. Say what you will about
my mother, shes quite a gambler
in the children department.
Because my mother was a
high-stakes gambler, I also give
her the title hero. You pretty
much have to be to spend twenty-
seven months of your life carrying
someone else around, and then
a couple more decades raising
all of them while holding down
a paying job or two. And in my
childlike worldview, I simply took
it for granted I had a mother who
wanted to punish me with educa-
tion.
It saddens and perplexes me
when people say they never want
to have children. They give mul-
tiple reasons for electing childless-
ness; barring medical exigencies,
all of them boil down to its too
difficult. As a twenty-something-
year-old who sometimes regresses
back into childhood, I wont argue
that children can be difficult. Its
expensive, one child often costing
billions of dollars for people with
more money than sense. Children
are disobedient. They dont like
doing what theyre told and com-
plain over the most trivial things.
As mature college students, none
of us would ever dream of such
infantile behavior, and God knows
weve never witnessed it in adults.
Theres something inexorably
snarky in people like nobody
political advisor Hilary Rosen say-
ing that Mitt Romneys wife, Ann,
(and, implicitly, all stay-at-home
mothers) have never worked a
day in their lives. It puzzles me
as to how a political consultant
could have the gall to say that
anybody else hasnt worked a day
in their life, let alone full-time
mothers. The heaviest thing Ms.
Rosen ever lifted was probably
a docket of manipulated polling
data; Mrs. Romney has had plenty
of heavy lifting with her five boys
(an unenviable prospect, even for
a Mormon).
Lets just chalk up the com-
ments of Ms. Rosen and her ilk as
the bitter vile of spiteful human-
ity. It really must be hard for Ms.
Rosen to wake up every morning
with no meaningful sense of pur-
pose. I havent changed a babys
diapers myself, but I believe it
would be easier if the excrement
I dealt with were my own childs
and not some Beltway figures. Im
no sociologist, but I have a strong
hunch that if more of us valued
family and children above political
consultants, it would be a merrier
world.
My mother isnt perfect; shes
missed her share of Jeopardy ques-
tions (ironically in Potpourri)
and she got a manically dependent
black lab to replace me. In her
defense, I wasnt the easiest child
to rear. My teenage angst made
me curse my very existence, and
my parents as the effective cause
of that. Fortunately, that ended
after I graduated high school and
was free to do my own laundry,
but many of my peers have yet to
move beyond that phase.
Mothering in general is an
unjustly scorned profession in
our society which glorifies the
party habits of Snookie above
her decision to have a baby. Its
a wonderful, awkward, mystical
part of being human. Ma, I dont
thank God enough that you read
Shakespeare and Dr. Seuss to me
instead of buying cable. Happy
preemptive Mothers Day to you
and all mothers!

S
pring is my favorite time
of the year. With my
birthday, March Madness,
the Stanley Cup Playoffs, NBA
Playoffs, MLB opening day,
the weather allowing me to
wear more comfortable clothes,
the green grass, the rain, and
everything else thats great
about spring, I cant think of
another season beating Spring
for Most Awesome Time Of
The Year.
But then again, now that
were in college and have real
responsibilities, there is some-
thing that ruins the spring for
everyone: finals.
Yes, it is now time to act like
we are really concerned about
our grades and start cram-
ming all the information we
never really paid any attention
to, just so we dont fail a test
that makes up 25 percent of
our final grade in the class. It
totally makes sense that a large
chunk of your grade should
come down to how well you
do on a single test that covers
four months worth of notes
and things that may or may not
have been said in lecture.
Im obviously exaggerating,
but to some, finals can be a
make or break test, and that
can be extremely stressful. My
suggestion to deal with the
stress finals create is to enjoy
the great campus that the state
puts a great deal of money into
just so it looks nice when you
walk around it.
While Im walking on cam-
pus (possibly to the impend-
ing doom of finals), I like to
find some music that can go
hand in hand with the sublim-
ity that our campus creates. I
have recently been listening
to a British punk band named
Sharks. Although the band is a
punk band, they have a resem-
blance to the 1970s and 80s
band The Clash.
When choosing music to
help distract you from the
stress, I suggest some happy-
go-lucky pop punk like New
Found Glory. If thats not your
scene, I also like to listen to
and indie-folk band named
Fleet Foxes.
Youve probably noticed
over the past couple of weeks
that workers have been hard at
work just to make some flow-
ers bloom in front of Watson
Library. The school and the
state want this place to look as
nice as possible. It may be for
the students, or it may be so
the university will end up in
some Most Beautiful Campus
rankings system, but regardless,
you should take advantage of
the beauty you are given.
Being from Wichita, one of
my favorite things to do is drive
through the Flint Hills on my
way home. In the spring, after
tons of rain, the hills will slow-
ly change from the dead yellow
grass into a vibrant green. I
turn on some Led Zeppelin, roll
down the window, and believe
Im in the most beautiful place
in the world.
So while youre stressing
out from finals, try to enjoy
the campus and listen to some
good music. Take a deep breath
of that Kansas air (try not to
sneeze if you have seasonal
allergies), and take the time to
smell the roses (or maybe they
are tulips?).

crime
ORLANDO, Fla. George Zimmerman,
who slipped out of jail on $150,000 bail in the
early morning darkness, went back into hiding
Monday and likely fed to another state to avoid
threats as he awaits his second-degree murder
trial for the killing of Trayvon Martin.
Even though authorities can pinpoint his loca-
tion with a GPS ankle bracelet Zimmerman must
wear 24-7, the public may not see him again for
some time. Zimmerman has waived his appear-
ance at his upcoming arraignment next month,
so he can stay underground if he wants.
Zimmerman already has experience laying
low: For more than a month before his arrest,
he eluded the media and his whereabouts were
not known. His attorney has suggested he had
several options for where Zimmerman can stay
this time, and a judge indicated he was willing to
let Zimmerman leave the state.
Until the next time he must come before a
judge, Zimmerman will have to skip such rou-
tine pleasures as eating in a restaurant or tak-
ing a long stroll outside, said Jose Baez, a former
attorney for Casey Anthony. Anthony, acquitted
last summer of killing her 2-year-old daughter,
went into hiding afer her release from jail.
He may be free, but hes not free, Baez said.
First, Zimmerman must limit who knows his
whereabouts to avoid the risk someone will give
the secret away, Baez said.
Unfortunately, the people you think you
trust, sometimes you fnd you just really cant,
Baez said.
To throw of curious onlookers and the me-
dia, Zimmerman could change his look. Antho-
ny went from a long-haired brunette to a bobbed
blonde while serving a year of probation on an
unrelated charge at an undisclosed location in
Florida.
Next, Zimmerman needs to go someplace
where he knows few people and they dont know
him, said Evan Ratlif, who wrote the book (or
at least the magazine article) on how to vanish
in the 21st century. In 2009, Wired magazine
challenged its readers to try to fnd Ratclif, who
deliberately vanished with the help of disguises,
prepaid phones, fake business cards and sof-
ware that protected his Internet identity, at least
for a while. Ratlif eventually was caught because
readers were able to trace him through the IP
address of a computer he had used.
He needs to be where he is not around people
who are known to be close to him, Ratlif said.
Not a friends house. Not a relatives house.
Zimmerman needs to refrain from making
any public statements, whether via social media
sites like Facebook or Twitter or his own website,
www.therealgeorgezimmerman.com, both Baez
and Ratlif said. Zimmerman is using his website
to help raise money for his legal defense.
Early indications are that will be tough for
Zimmerman to resist. Afer a judge agreed to
release him on bond, a statement placed on his
website said, GZ hopes to be able to update the
site in the next day or two, God willing. He sends
his thanks for your thoughts and support.
Martins parents have a heavy heart now that
Zimmerman has been released from jail, said
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the 17-year-
olds parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton.
Tey hope his freedom is temporary because
the pain he has caused this family is permanent,
Crump said Monday.
As a condition of his release, Zimmerman
cannot have any guns and must observe a 7
p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew. He surrendered his pass-
port and will have to contact his monitors every
three days.
Given his success at eluding searchers before
his arrest, Baez said he is confdent Zimmerman
will keep out of public view.
Based on his prior actions, he seems to be a
very careful guy, Baez said. Based on his prior
ability to lay low, he will be fne. He is going to
do exactly what is required of him.

cord warmth a month ago.
Te earliest hits were on higher
ground, where snow-laden tree
limbs pulled down power lines
and commuters navigated slushy
roads. Up to a foot of snow or more
was forecast for higher elevations
through Tuesday morning.
At the peak Monday, utilities
reported about 50,000 customers
without power in Pennsylvania and
central and western New York.
Amy Shaulis, a waitress at the
Summit Diner in Somerset, Pa.,
wondered if the storm was a bit of
payback.
We had a very, very light win-
ter, we had summer in the middle
of winter and now were paying for
it, she said.
Gov. Tom Corbett declared a
disaster emergency and activated
the Pennsylvania Emergency Man-
agement Agencys state operations
center. By early afernoon, elec-
tricity had been restored to about
8,000 of the 25,000 customers who
had been without power in the
state and predictions of heavy snow
in Pittsburgh melted away as the
temperature remained well above
freezing.
It was a similar situation in
Bufalo, where an alternating mix of
rain and wet snow fell throughout
the day but did not accumulate on
the roads or trees as expected.
Te National Weather Service
canceled its winter storm warning
for the Bufalo area and counties to
the north and east in New York and
a winter weather advisory for Al-
legheny and Washington counties
in Pennsylvania.
A warning remained in efect
through Tuesday for several coun-
ties along the New York-Pennsyl-
vania border, where up to a foot of
snow was still possible.
Kevin Fitzgerald, a National
Weather Service meteorologist in
State College, Pa., called the snow-
storm unusual, but not unheard
of.

Larry Brown was introduced
Monday as the next basketball
coach at SMU, taking his first col-
lege coaching job in nearly a quar-
ter century.
With trustees and more than 100
fans cheering and clapping, Brown
said he was looking forward to
coaching quality basketball with
quality student-athletes.
I never realized at 71, this
opportunity would present itself,
Brown said.
The Hall of Famer is the only
coach to win both an NCAA cham-
pionship and an NBA title. Brown
hasnt coached since leaving the
Charlotte Bobcats in December
2010 and he hasnt coached at the
college level since leaving Kansas
after winning the NCAA tourna-
ment in 1988, the last year SMU
won a tournament game.
Brown is taking over a program
that has revamped its facilities and
has lots of top high school talent
nearby, but has struggled to win.
SMU, which hasnt advanced to
the NCAA tourney since 1993, is
also moving from Conference USA
to the much tougher Big East in
2013.
Brown said he thought SMU has
the resources to compete with the
powerful programs in the Big East.
Walking around this campus, if
we can get a kid to visit here, I cant
imagine him going anywhere else,
Brown said.
Brown replaces Matt Doherty,
who was fired after six seasons.
Doherty attended Mondays event,
as did Kansas coach Bill Self. Details
of Browns deal with SMU, a private
school, were not disclosed.
Browns first coaching job was
at Davidson in 1972, though he
didnt coach a game there before
going to the ABA and then the
NBA. He coached at UCLA (1979-
81) and Kansas (1983-88) and was
the coach of the 2004 U.S. Olympic
team that had a disappointing
bronze-medal finish.
Brown has a reputation for
impressive turnarounds and some
messy departures from teams. He
has held a record nine NBA jobs
and was 1,098-904 (.548 winning
percentage) with Denver, New
Jersey, San Antonio, the Los Angeles
Clippers, Indiana, Philadelphia,
Detroit, the New York Knicks and
Charlotte. He took all of those
teams but the Knicks to the play-
offs.
Doherty went 80-109 in six
seasons at SMU before he was fired
March 13 with one year left on his
deal. The Mustangs lost 11 of their
last 14 games, including a 47-28
home loss to UAB on Feb. 15.
SMU has plans for a $40 million
renovation of Moody Coliseum
and built a new practice facility
during Dohertys stint.
The hiring of Brown came
as SMUs search was going into
its sixth week. Other candi-
dates included Marquettes Buzz
Williams, Long Beach States Dan
Monson and Rick Majerus from
Saint Louis.
Browns hiring was welcomed
by Dallas Mavericks coach Rick
Carlisle, who was fired by the
Pistons in 2003 and replaced by
Brown. Brown would win a cham-
pionship in his first season and
take the Pistons to the NBA finals
before leaving to join the Knicks.
Its a big-time hire, Carlisle said.
Hes a guy that I know well, hes a
friend. To get a guy in that stature
and status to the city of Dallas to
coach at SMU, its a big deal. Its a
big deal. Hell do a great job.

The Bears are on a 24-game
winning streak and have yet to lose
a game in Big 12 play. Baseball
America ranks the Bears third in the
country this week. They hold a four-
game lead in the conference. Baylor
also leads the conference with a .315
team batting average and has scored
22 more runs (282) than the next best
team this season.

2. texaS LoNghoRNS (23-14, 11-4)
The longhorns struggled in the
non-conference season, going just
10-10 before Big 12 play. They seem
to have found their stride in the Big
12, losing only four times in confer-
ence play. Baseball America ranks
Texas 20th in the country, the third-
highest ranked team in the confer-
ence. Texas has struggled to hit the
ball out of the park and ranks last in
the conference with 12 home runs.
3. texaS a&M aggIeS (28-12, 9-6)
The Aggies have been in a tailspin
since losing to Kansas two sundays
ago in lawrence. Theyve now lost
fve in a row and have tumbled from
second place in Baseball Americas
rankings to ninth. last weekend,
the Aggies were supposed to be in a
battle with the Baylor Bears for Big
12 bragging rights, but instead, the
Bears swept the Aggies.

4. oKLahoMa State
CowBoYS (22-17, 8-7)
After the top three teams, there is
a steep drop-off in the conference,
but the Cowboys are the best of the
rest at the moment. Theyve won
their last four games and keep other
teams off the scoreboard. They come
in second in the conference in team
eRA and allow just under three runs
per game with a 2.98 eRA.
5. oKLahoMa SooNeRS (26-14, 7-8)
The sooners have won their last
eight games and come in ffth in the
conference standings. They dont blow
away their opponents in any one cat-
egory. They rank sixth in the conference
in team batting average (.275) and
ffth in team eRA (3.90). Theyve hit the
third most homers in the conference,
though 21 balls have left the park off
sooner bats this season.
6. MISSoURI tIgeRS (21-17, 6-9)
The Tigers offense is solid. The
team bats .281 and has belted 20
homers this season. The Tigers pitch-
ing is their biggest faw. Their staff
allows the second most earned runs
per game with a 4.47 eRA. The pitch-
ers struggle to miss bats and strike
out only 6.17 batters per nine innings
pitched, which is the worst strikeout-
per-nine rate in the conference.
7. KaNSaS (16-25, 4-11)
Despite being only one of two teams
with an overall losing record in the confer-
ence, the Jayhawks place seventh in these
power rankings. In the last two weeks they
went 4-4, but two of those victories came
against teams ranked in the top 25. They
beat Texas A&M last sunday and Texas last
Friday. When the starting pitching is on, the
Jayhawks can hang with any one, but they
just need the bats to come alive on a more
consistent basis.
8. texaS teCh ReD
RaIDeRS (22-20, 3-12)
The Red Raiders record wont blow any-
one away, but just looking at statistics, it
appears they have just been unlucky this
season. Texas Tech claims the sixth best
team eRA (3.94) and has surrendered the
second fewest homers to opponents (10). The
Red Raider offense is where the team excels.
They have the second highest batting aver-
age in the conference (.298) and runs (260).
Theyve lost their last fve games overall and
last four conference games, though.
9. KaNSaS State
wILDCatS (19-21, 3-12)
The Wildcats have struggled in Big 12
play. Along with the Jayhawks, theyre the
only other team that has an overall losing
record this season. Theyve dropped their
last three games overall and their last
seven games against Big 12 opponents.
Pitching has let the Wildcats down this
season. They allow a conference worst 5.32
earned runs per gamee and opponents are
hitting .298 against their pitchers.

Hamlin takes home trophy
from Kansas speedway
aSSoCIateD pReSS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. It
seemed as if Denny Hamlin was
out for a Sunday afernoon drive
at Kansas Speedway, hanging
around the leaders most of the day
but never really giving anybody
too much reason to worry.
Turned out that Hamlin was
playing possum, just as he did at
Phoenix earlier this year.
His team kept making slight
adjustments on every stop and
had his Toyota dialed in late in
the race when Hamlin charged
past Martin Truex Jr. for the lead.
He then held of Truexs last-ditch
move with two laps remaining to
win for the second time this sea-
son.
It felt a lot like Phoenix in the
sense of we kind of hung around
the top fve all day, said Hamlin,
whose best fnish at Kansas had
been third last year.
At the end we just kind of make
our charge, make our run, and
there were some things that had
to happen the last run really for
us to work out, and those things
happened.
Te victory gave his Joe Gibbs
Racing team some momentum
heading to Richmond, where the
Virginia driver has won twice
before and where he certainly
wont sneak up on anybody.
Weve had good cars, we got
the win at Phoenix, and weve had
consistent good performances,
crew chief Darian Grubb said. All
these details are starting to add
up.
Jimmie Johnson was third for
Hendrick Motorsports, which has
failed in 14 tries to win the teams
milestone 200th race. Dale Earn-
hardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne also
fnished in the top 10.
I was just watching from the
third spot, hoping those guys
would give me an opportunity,
Johnson said. I just wish I was
closer to those guys to race for it.
Long green-fag runs on Sun-
day gave Hamlin the chance to
sit back and watch as the race un-
folded, never pressing for the lead
until it mattered. When that hap-
pened, his team had made enough
right decisions that he powered to
the front as the sun fnally broke
through.
Tey didnt panic, team own-
er J.D. Gibbs said. Tey paced
themselves, and Im glad the sun
stayed out a little at the end.
Truex dominated most of the
afernoon, leading a race-high
173 laps, but had to settle for sec-
ond place. It was his third top-fve
fnish of the season, but hes yet to
win in 175 races.
Sorry guys, I lost this one for
you, a despondent Truex radioed
to his team.
Hey man, you did a great job,
came the reply. Tey know we
were here.
Truex said his fnal set of tires
cost him. He was the loosest hed
been all race, and that allowed
Hamlin to charge into the lead.
Truex rallied within a car length,
but he couldnt make a fnal move
on the bottom side stick, allowing
Hamlin to pull away.
I guess if we can be this frus-
trated with second, it tells you
how close we are as a team, said
Truex, who hasnt won since Do-
ver in 2007. Te race car was re-
ally good. Im just not really sure
what to think about that last set
of tires. I was just wrecking-loose
that last set.
Truex called the performance
a statement moment for Michael
Waltrip Racing.
Hamlin is starting to have a
statement season.
He won this year at Phoenix,
started on the pole at California,
and led 31 laps a couple weeks
ago at Martinsville before fnish-
ing sixth. He was 12th last week at
Texas.
Its hard to analyze your
program by a one-week perfor-
mance, he said. Tere are always
areas that we need to work in. We
feel like weve identifed those
areas and weve gone to work on
them. So right now I feel like were
bringing better race cars to the
track.
Matt Kenseth fnished fourth
despite having a wild afernoon
trying to get into the pits, ofen
sliding across the line at the start
of pit road. Greg Bife followed up
his victory last week at Texas with
a ffh-place run, though he didnt
have the car to contend at Kansas.
It was a tough day, Bife said.
We were back and forth all day,
and we were of just a bit. When
the track had a lot of grip the car
was unbelievable.
Kevin Harvick was sixth, fol-
lowed by Earnhardt and Kahne,
giving Hendrick Motorsports at
least three cars in the top-10 for
the second straight week.
Jef Gordon had engine trouble
late in the race and fnished 21st.
Te 14-race drought for Hen-
drick is its longest since going 15
races without a win during the
2002 and 03 seasons. Te streak
began afer Johnsons win last Oc-
tober at Kansas.
Everybody here needs a win
for one reason or another, Earn-
hardt said. Were all working
really hard, but Im not really fo-
cusing on homing in on that too
heavily. Youve got to think about
what your cars doing and what
you need to do to help your car.
Make your car faster, then the
wins eventually take care of them-
selves.
Te pressure will continue
to mount on the four-car team,
though. And when Johnson was
asked whether hell be relieved
when someone gets the win, his
reply came through unvarnished:
More than you could ever imag-
ine, he said.

As a lifelong Royals fan, the start of the
2012 season might be the most embar-
rassing one that Ive witnessed.
Like many I bought into the Our
Time slogan that the marketing depart-
ment displayed throughout the month of
March.
While studying box scores and reading
various articles about spring training, it
appeared that Kansas City was on track
for a rebirth.
Te Royals even started of the season
on a high note, taking two of three games
from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Danny Dufy delivered another impres-
sive pitching performance against the
Oakland Athletics in the second series of
the season.
Ten there was the excitement of
Opening Day. Te Royals brought in all
the big guns. Tey stretched out a gigantic
fag across the outfeld and George Brett,
one of the most celebrated Royals ever,
tipped his cap to the crowd and threw out
the frst pitch.
Every Roylals fan was excited, includ-
ing myself. I thought this was going to
be the year. Te year that everything got
turned around. A year like 2003 when
We all Believed and Lima Time rang
among the concourses of Kaufman Sta-
dium.
Ten it all changed once the team trot-
ted onto the feld.
As Royals fans have found out, the
former frst overall pick in 2006, Luke
Hochevar can show of unbelievable
talents at times. But he also struggles at
times to pitch to his capabilities. In the
opener, Hochevar was lit up for seven
runs in the frst inning alone.
I know baseball is a long season and
pitchers have bad outings, but if theres
one day a year that a pitcher must bring
their A game, its Opening Day.
Insult was added to injury afer Hoche-
var took a line drive to his lef ankle in the
fourth inning and had to leave the game.
Tis isnt the frst time the injury bug
has hit Kansas City already this year.
Afer signing their prized catching
prospect, Salvador Perez, to a 5 year
deal for $7 million with three club op-
tion years that total up to $19.75 million,
Perez underwent surgery for his lef knee
to repair a torn meniscus during spring
training that will leave him on the diabled
list until late in the summer.
Afer a fantastic spring, center felder
Lorenzo Cain looked ready to show Kan-
sas City why the Zack Greinke trade was
worth it for the Royals.
He was on a tear this spring, batting
.371 and posted an on-base percentage of
.450.
Ten he injured his lef groin while
slamming into the wall against Oakland
on April 11. Hes eligible to return on
Tursday.
Tis might seem like an inordinate
amount of injuries for the Royals, but
considering they had minimal injuries in
2011, it does not come as much of sur-
prise.
What comes as a surprise is the dra-
matic drop of of fan support afer only 15
games, but in the end the fans are right.
Losing 10 in a row is depressing for
everyone in a city that was excited to
embrace a winner once again, something
that Kansas City hasnt seen since the
great teams of the 1980s.
I understand its a long season and that
adjustments will be made in the upcom-
ing weeks, but people will start getting
restless, including myself, if this losing
streak continues.
Its clear that the Royals have the tal-
ent especially on ofense to compete
for the American League Central title this
season.
All Im asking is this: When I go to
Kaufman this year, and spend my $10 for
parking and my $30 for a decent seat and
my $8 for drinks, I expect to see a decent
product on the feld.
So in order for that to happen, Kansas
City needs to make some drastic changes
now, otherwise Our Time will turn into
Will it ever be our time?

COMMENTARY
F
rom the moment he arrived
in Lawrence to take charge
of the Kansas football pro-
gram, Charlie Weis made it clear
that Kansas needed a new mental-
ity. Almost six months into his
Kansas coaching tenure, Saturdays
spring game will give fans a first
glimpse of what to expect in 2012.
Now, I dont expect Saturdays
scene at Memorial Stadium to
approach a normal game atmo-
sphere with 50,000 fans in the sta-
dium lets be realistic. If there is
one thing the Kansas football team
has going for it right now, its that
there is a definite buzz around the
Jayhawks with 2012s kickoff 130
days away.
Mission accomplished.
In the two years under Turner
Gill, the Jayhawks not only failed
to win most games, but they also
never gave a sometimes-fickle
football fanbase a reason to believe
improvement was on the way. With
every ounce of momentum gone
from the 2008 Orange Bowl title, it
was time for a change.
In the short time Weis has been
at Kansas, there is an undeniable
intrigue around Kansas football
something that rarely exists in
April at Kansas. The Jayhawks have
its first five-star quarterback in
program history even if it is Dayne
Crist, looking to resurrect a once-
promising career.
We saw Weis dismiss 10 players
from the team back in January as
he held players accountable for the
transgressions that Gills regime
ignored. Weve heard the team
say that its never been worked
this hard and can already sense
improvement.
Last week, Weis held an open
practice at 6 a.m. that the media
was permitted to attend. To end
the practice, Weis had kicker Ron
Doherty practice a game-winning
field goal, so the team could cel-
ebrate. Doherty missed the first but
made the second. However, when
the teams celebration wasnt as
enthusiastic as Weis wanted, he let
the team hear it.
I can tell you guys arent used
to winning, Weis said to the team.
Hey. Hey, fellas. OK. Winning a
football game is not supposed to be
an uncommon occurrence. I know
thats a novel concept around here.
Considering that the Big Tens
Nebraska has a Big 12 victory more
recent than Kansas, Id think most
Kansas supporters would agree
with Weis. Kansas needs to change,
and while Im not sure practicing
a celebration is necessary, its nice
to see some enthusiasm from the
head coach and players.
Without a full recruiting cycle,
it will be difficult for Weis to field
a team that can contend in the Big
12. Lets remember that Weis has
a massive rebuilding job ahead of
him at Kansas, so the fix will not
happen over night.
When the spring game kicks off
on Saturday, it will be interesting to
see the improvement this team has
made. This program was at rock
bottom, so there is really nowhere
to go but up.

Weis wants
a fresh
mentality
kansan.com Tuesday, April 24, 2012 Volume 124 Issue 141
Fixing thE dEFEnsE
Charlie Weis has been pleasant-
ly surprised by a few of the foot-
ball teams positions this spring.
During Mondays Big 12 coaches
teleconference, Weis pointed to
the running backs, wide receivers
and cornerbacks as positions that
have impressed him in one way or
another so far.
While the running backs and
wide receivers at least had some
success last season, the corner-
backs along with Kansas defense
did not. The Jayhawks passing
defense ranked 110th in the coun-
try last season, allowing 277.9
passing yards per game.
Weis admitted the secondary
got exposed some last season, but
he doesnt blame cornerbacks for
all of the defenses struggles last
season.
They needed to get some big-
ger muchachos up front, Weis
said.
Kansas will have some
experience in the secondary next
season. Senior cornerback Greg
Brown and junior cornerback
Tyler Patmon return next season
and share 32 starts between them.
And now Weis is bringing in six
defensive linemen this season to
help the Jayhawks create more
pressure up front.
But the influx of new players
can also be a disadvantage when
it comes to spring practice for
Kansas. Weis said he has play-
ers playing on his defensive line
in practice right now, who likely
wont be when the season starts.
This creates a mismatch between
the defense and the offense in
practice.
For now, Weis will have to wait
for all of his recruits and transfers
to come in before he can start hav-
ing true competition in practice
on the defensive line.
schEduling tcu
Kansas had a choice of when its
first Big 12 game would be. The
Jayhawks could have either played
TCU on September 15, or two
weeks later on September 29.
Weis chose the third week of
Kansas season, September 15, to
host TCU in Lawrence.
Players are creatures of habit,
Weis said. When you look at the
big picture, once you get going
into the season, you want to get
going, you want to get in the same
routine.
Weis said it was about the men-
tality hes been trying to build at
Kansas. He said playing TCU will
never be easy, and that the whole
goal is to try to build momen-
tum early in the season, following
back-to-back home games to start
the season.
Youre going to play good
teams in the big 12 and your going
to play them on a regular basis,
Weis said. So rather than waiting
till the fifth week of the year to
go ahead and play one, you might
as well get your feet wet and get
going.

Two players dismissed
after rule violations
Kansas coach Charlie Weis an-
nounced the dismissal of two foot-
ball players, Collin Garrett and Chris
Robinson, for
violation of
team rules
Monday after-
noon.
Sophomore
linebacker
Collin Gar-
ret played in
six games
last season,
including a
four-tackle
performance
against Okla-
homa. He also
recorded one
tackle against Kansas State, Baylor
and Missouri.
Freshman cornerback Chris Rob-
inson redshirted for the Jayhawks
this past season. The cornerback
was ranked in the top 100 players
in the state of Florida out of high
school.

Junior Kyle Clemons sprints to the fnish of the Mens 4x400-meter Relay Saturday after-
noon at the Kansas Relays. The Ku men won the event with a time of 3:08.67.
TRaCK and Field
Kansas Relays athletes set records
Senior Donny Wasinger
from Winona, Minn., fin-
ished the meet with the fastest
mens 1500-meter time; it was
the third consecutive year at
the Kansas Relays that he had
won the event.
I will always remember
KU, Wasinger said, holding
his third straight Kansas Re-
lays trophy.
Wasinger said he knows the
Universitys track and field
traditions well. He said he
hopes his name will be added
to the list of distance runners
hailing from Kansas, includ-
ing Jim Ryun, Wes Santee,
and Glen Cunningham.
Meanwhile, Diamond
Dixon, a sophomore sprint-
er from Houston, ran the
400-meter dash in 51.8 sec-
onds. The only woman faster
than that was Olympic gold-
medalist Dee Dee Trotter,
who set a new meet record at
50.94 seconds.
In the 4x400-meter relay,
Dixon and her teammates set
a meet record of their own.
The team completed the relay
in 3 minutes, 31 seconds. I
saw the time and I was push-
ing for it, Dixon said.
Another fast female was
Alisha Keys, a freshman from
Junction City. Keys ran the
fastest 200-meter time of the
week: 24.1 seconds.
