Students preparing for spring break trips
this semester can do more than pack sun-
screen and sandals.
Many campus organizations offer free
services such as travel consultations, safe
spring break kits and
self-defense classes
to help students stay
healthy and avoid acci-
dents on their trips.
Patricia Denning,
chief of staff at Watkins
Memorial Health Center,
said students needed to
be aware of the health
risks associated with
those trips.
Every year after
spring break, were see-
ing different types of problems that we
werent seeing before spring break, Denning
said.
She said the most common injuries
stemmed from the use of alcohol or drugs,
which could lead to risky behavior, fist fights
or unwanted sexual encounters.
Ken Sarber, health educator at the Wellness
Resource Center, said students could start to
prepare for their vacations by scheduling
a travel consultation at
Watkins.
The most important
reason is prevention,
Sarber said. Why do you
want to spend thousands
of dollars and get down
there and get sick?
During the consulta-
tion, Sarber said students
would meet with a doctor
or nurse to set up a travel
plan and discuss how
to deal with things like
food allergies. Students would also receive a
Travax Report with relevant health informa-
tion about their travel destination.
Travax Reports, issued by the Department
of State, document the viruses present in a
country as well as the prevalence of robbery
and assault. The reports also indicate wheth-
er it is safe to drink the water, use public
transportation, withdraw money from ATMs
or walk on the beach without sandals.
Sarber said Student Health Services would
also provide safe spring break kits on cam-
pus on March 10, 12 and 13.
The kits will include sunscreen, condoms
and information about alcohol consumption.
The idea is to have fun and not make
your spring break a bad experience, Sarber
said.
Angela Oliver, assistant director of the
Student Involvement Leadership Center, said
self-defense workshops offered at the Student
Recreation Fitness Center would also be use-
ful for female students who plan to travel
during spring break.
Oliver said the workshops would be free
for female students and would include tips
from a trained martial artist as well as a dis-
cussion about safety strategies.
The next self-defense workshop is on
March 10 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the recreation
cente. To reserve a spot in the workshop, call
the Emily Taylor Womens Resource Center
at 864-3552.
For a free travel consultation any time of
the year, call 864-9500 or visit the appoint-
ment desk at Watkins.

A new Student Senate coalition called
Students of Liberty has joined the Senate
race. Students who campaigned for Ron
Paul started the group as a way to get
involved in local politics and also help with
budget reforms.
College students get less sleep now
than at any other time since 1985,
according to the National Center for

To bring attention to the importance
of a good nights sleep, Student Health
Services is hosting Sleep Awareness Week
on campus from Monday to Thursday.

Meet your Student Senator
with Duy Pham, Asian-American Student Union
BY AlexAndrA GArrY
agarry@kansan.com
This is a good time of year for
Duy Pham. This is because Pham,
Asian-American Student Union
(AASU) senator, loves politics. With
the presidential election race in full
swing and campus campaigns just
heating up, now is an exciting time
for people with Phams interests.
Politics has always fascinated
me, Pham said. I was studying
to be a pharmacist, but I switched
quickly to political science after
coming to KU.
Pham was born in Vietnam and
immigrated to Wichita in 1996.
After coming to the University last
year, he got involved with AASU, fell
deeply in love with political science
and ran for his current Senate seat
to combine the two. He described
his Senate position as fairly low-key,
primarily acting as a liaison between
the two groups.
Mainly, I vote on things, he
said. I keep my groups interests in
mind. I will ask AASU whats going
on with them and tell them whats
going on with Senate and politics
in general.
Rachel Balzer, program assistant
in the Multicultural Affairs Office
and adviser for AASU, said Phams
strength as a senator is not just his
interest in politics, but his ability
to effectively communicate with his
constituents.
He is always very clear and effi-
cient when talking with people,
Balzer said. Hes a natural fit for
the job.
In his term as senator, Pham wrote
legislation to fund the Vietnamese
Student Association and sponsored
a bill requiring any structure built
on campus to have an environmen-
tal certification if it is to receive
Senate funds.
Pham also tutors through the
Multicultural Resource Center,
which opened earlier this year, in
part sponsored by Senate.
Student Senate has always been
supportive of diversity issues on
campus, Pham said.
One of the great things about
KU, he said, is its diverse com-
munity and the fact that race is not
a divisive issue for the majority of
students.
Pham said he was interested
in getting students involved with
campus politics and aware of the
broader issues.
The Asian-American commu-
nity makes up about 4 percent of
the American population, he said.
That may not seem like a lot, but I
think in tight races we can definitely
be the swing vote, so I think Asian-
Americans should be very interested
in politics.
But its not only Asian-Americans
who should be willing to discuss
politics, he said.
It might be a controversial issue
politics is never the easiest thing
to talk about but its important, he
said. You dont have to be a politi-
cal junkie. Just know enough to be
involved.

Cat survives tornado, fre;
vet predicts recovery
CLINTON, Ark. Charlie Brown
is down to seven lives.
Donna and Danny Pistoles
black-and-white cat survived a
February tornado that destroyed
the familys mobile home, coming
out of nearby woods skittish but
no worse for wear. However, the
cat took up refuge in a large pile
of debris from the storm that the
Pistoles set afre last Sunday while
cleaning up their property.
Thursday, Donna Pistole fol-
lowed Charlie Browns weak meows
and found him stuck in briars. His
paws and nose were scorched,
his eyes matted shut and his coat
singed a dingy yellow but he
was alive.
That night, Charlie Brown un-
derwent an exam by veterinarian
Doug Mays.
He smells like an old, scorched
wool blanket, Mays said. His feet
pads are peeling of. But theyll
heal. I think hell be OK.
The Pistoles sought shelter in
a storm cellar during the tornado.
Donna Pistole took one of their
cats, Bubby, but couldnt fnd Char-
lie Brown and fellow feline Sanbo.
Sanbo is still missing.
I think the storm got him
because we havent seen him since
the storm, Danny Pistole said.
Twos enough, I guess.
Man wants to skip work,
tells friend to shoot him
PASCO, Wash. What hap-

Sherifs detectives in Franklin
County, Wash., say a man had his
friend shoot him in the shoulder so
he wouldnt have to go to work.
When he frst spoke with
deputies, Daniel Kuch told them
hed been the victim of a drive-by
shooting while he was jogging
Thursday. But detectives told KONA
radio that Kuch later acknowl-
edged that he asked his friend to
shoot him so he could get some
time of work and avoid a drug test.
The friend has been arrested for
investigation of reckless endan-
germent. Kuch is expected to be
charged with false reporting.
Detectives declined to say
where Kuch worked or if he still
had a job.

BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
A new Student Senate coalition
started last week with the main goal
of addressing financial issues at the
University of Kansas. Students of
Liberty came from a split in the Ron
Paul Meet-up group, while the other
part of the group went to campaign
for local candidates.
Adam Wood, Lawrence junior and
Students of Liberty presidential can-
didate, said he wanted to campaign to
get involved in local politics.
Although he has never been a
student senator at the University,
Wood was convinced his inexperi-
ence would not be a roadblock.
If you work at it, you can figure it
out, Wood said.
Wood said he had a problem with
the way people in the country spent
their money and did not conserve
it, and said Student Senate was also
affected by that problem.
Student Senate has about an $18
million budget, much of which
comes from the fees students pay
each semester. Wood said he would
like to overhaul the campus required
fees and cut back as much as pos-
sible.
I dont go to the Student
Recreation Fitness Center, so I dont
want to pay for it, Wood said.
Wood said he thought Senate
would operate better with less money
because they would be forced to be
efficient with their funds and he
would act as a watchdog for over-
spending.
Eric Hyde, Lawrence sophomore
and vice presidential candidate, said
he and Wood had been thinking
about starting a coalition since last
fall.
He said Senate has increased its
budget every year, but when Hyde
went to Senate with a bill to fund
a Greensburg relief project, he was
denied funds.
Hyde said he also thought the
greeks had been in power for too
long and they always had the money
to back up their campaigns.
We want to show them we can
get things done with less money,
Hyde said.
Colin Barnes, Overland Park
sophomore, will design the coali-
tions Web site and run for a regular
Senate seat. He said he had an exten-
sive background in economics, so he
would look closely at Senates and
the Universitys budgets. He said he
wanted to increase transparency in
both budgets so students could see
where their money was going.
Barnes said the problem with
the current coalitions was that they
didnt start with a platform so they
had no real reason to be together as
a group with common ideas.
There is too much of the same
people getting into the same posi-
tions in Senate, Barnes said.
Wood said the group, which had
about 10 students, didnt have the
money to make T-shirts or buttons
like the other coalitions did, and
said it might hurt his chances. He
said they would set a table in front
of Wescoe Hall and promote their
group and also put up flyers around
campus. Barnes said the Web site
would not be up for about another
week.

Ship dedicated in honor
of Sept. 11 attacks
AVONDALE, La. The USS
New York, an amphibious assault
ship built with scrap steel from
the ruins of the World Trade Cen-
ter, was christened Saturday as a
source of strength and inspiration
for the nation.
Thousands of people, including
friends and families of those who
died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks, gathered near the hulking
gray ship, trimmed in red, white
and blue banners.
The bow stem, which contains
7.5 tons of steel from the site,
bore a shield with two gray bars
to symbolize the twin towers
and a banner over that declaring
Never Forget, a slogan among
New Yorkers.
Story after story of lives lost in,
and touched by, the attacks pep-
pered the ceremony, held under
the blazing sun and broadcast on
large screens. It all brought back
painful memories for New York
Police Lt. Matt Murphy. But the
reason for his being here, though,
was a source of pride, he said.
I tell you, its a fantastic day.
Sometimes you think youre over
something, he said, his eyes well-
ing up as he looked of toward the
ship, and then you realize youre
not completely.

Bush defends military
presence in Iraq, wont
promise withdrawals
CRAWFORD, Texas President
Bush declined Saturday to prom-
ise more U.S. troop withdrawals
from Iraq before he leaves ofce,
and underscored the need for a
strong military presence dur-
ing Iraqi provincial elections in
October.
Security has improved mark-
edly since last summer when the
last of fve Army brigades arrived
in Iraq to complete the presidents
buildup of 30,000 troops. One
brigade has already returned
home and the four others are
to leave by July. What remains
unclear is whether Bush will order
additional drawdowns in the fnal
months of his presidency.
There is going to be enormous
speculation, he said. My sole cri-
terion is, whatever we do, it ought
to be in the context of success.
The president spoke at his
Texas ranch where he hosted Dan-
ish Prime Minister Anders Fogh
Rasmussen for talks about NATOs
complex mission in Afghanistan,
climate change, Iran and other
trans-Atlantic issues. They took
time, though, for a two mountain
bike rides at the dusty ranch at
sunset Friday and again at sunrise
Saturday.
Israeli troops cause 54
Palestinian deaths; some
call killings a genocide
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Israeli
troops turned heavy frepower
on rocket squads bombarding
southern Israel Saturday, killing 54
Palestinians in the deadliest day
in Gaza since the current round of
fghting erupted in 2000.
Two Israeli soldiers were killed
and seven were wounded in the
clashes, the military said.
The violence took a heavy toll
on Gaza civilians. Moderate Pales-
tinian leaders called the killings a
genocide and threatened to call
of peace talks.
The response to these rockets
cant be that harsh and hei-
nous, said Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas. It is nowadays
described as a holocaust.
The spasm of violence came
days before Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice was to arrive in
the region to nudge Israel and Pal-
estinians closer to a peace accord.
But the rising tensions threatened
to mar her visit.
PREsidENtiAL
In days before Tuesdays
primaries, Clinton down-
plays Obamas experience
SAN ANTONIO Democrat Hill-
ary Rodham Clinton turned her at-
tention Saturday to the mechanics
of delivering voters to the polls in
a round of primaries Tuesday that
could hold the key to the future of
her presidential ambitions.
Clinton also sharpened her
criticism of rival Barack Obama,
hoping to give her backers a jolt
of energy.
His entire campaign is based
on a speech he gave at an anti-
war rally in 2002, Clinton told
reporters aboard her campaign
plane as she few between events
in San Antonio and Fort Worth,
Texas. The speech was not fol-
lowed up by action, which is part
of a pattern that we have seen
repeatedly.
It was the second day she has
made national security the focus
of her closing argument to voters,
seeking to portray Obama as
inexperienced and untested.
Obama fred back at rally in
Providence, R.I., telling support-
ers: Real change isnt voting for
George Bushs war in Iraq and
then telling the American people
it was actually a vote for more di-
plomacy when you start running
for president.
McCain claims NAFTA
re-negotiations would
hurt Canada relations
ROUND ROCK, Texas Re-
publican John McCain said the
desire by Democratic presidential
rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and
Barack Obama to renegotiate the
North American Free Trade Agree-
ment would jeopardize crucial
military support from Canada.
McCain used a town-hall style
meeting Friday at Dell Inc. head-
quarters to emphasize his support
for NAFTA. The efects of the 1994
trade pact are still hotly debated,
but studies indicate the deal has
resulted in record exports from
Texas to Canada and Mexico.
Trade and national security are
interconnected with each other,
the Arizona senator said.
One of our greatest assets in
Afghanistan are our Canadian
friends. We need our Canadian
friends, and we need their con-
tinued support in Afghanistan,
McCain said. Canada has 2,500
troops serving in Afghanistan
along with 29,000 U.S. soldiers.

Putins desired successor
wins presidential election
MOSCOW Dmitry Medvedev,
the man Vladimir Putin hand-
picked to be his successor, scored
a crushing victory in Russias presi-
dential elections Sunday, a result
that was long anticipated but that
still raises questions about who will
run this resurgent global power.
With ballots from more than
half of Russias electoral precincts
counted, Medvedev had 68.2
percent, according to the Central
Election Commission. Communist
Party chief Gennady Zyuganov had
nearly 20 percent, it said.
He is expected to rule in concert
with his mentor, an arrangement
that could see Putin calling the
shots despite his constitutionally
subordinate position as Russias
prime minister.
Presidential
Obama asserts positions
on judgment, religion
WESTERVILLE, Ohio Democrat
Barack Obama worked to fend of
an intensifed attack on his foreign
policy credentials from rival Hillary
Rodham Clinton on Sunday as their
paths crossed two days ahead of a
potentially race-ending showdown
in Ohio and Texas.
What precise foreign-policy ex-
perience is she claiming that makes
her qualifed to answer that tele-
phone call at 3 a.m. in the morn-
ing? Obama asked of the former
frst lady at a town-hall meeting. It
was a reference to dueling televi-
sion ads over who would exercise
superior judgment in responding
to a national emergency in the
middle of the night.
The Illinois senator also sought to
ease lingering Internet-fed concerns
about his religion, in particular
whether he was a closet Muslim.
I am a devout Christian, he said.
I have been a member of the same
church for 20 years. I pray to Jesus
every night.

Gale Sayers visits the Kansas Union
BY lUKe Morris
lmorris@kansan.com
Fans of all ages came to the Kansas
Union to meet Kansas football legend
and National Football League Hall-
of-Famer Gale Sayers on Saturday
afternoon. Sayers signed his new
book Sayers: My Life and Times at
Oread Books.
The line was constant for about
three hours, said Lisa Eitner, gen-
eral book buyer for Oread Books,
on Level 2 of the Union. KU fans
are always like this with KU sports
figures. Theyre very excited to meet
them and get a photo with them.
Sayers, the two-time All-American
running back, played at Kansas before
joining the Chicago Bears. He went
on to become the youngest inductee
into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He also served as an associate athlet-
ics director at Kansas before serv-
ing as athletics director for Southern
Illinois University.
Carlene Schipfmann, a Kansas
alumna from Lenexa, said that it was
a wonderful experience to meet the
Kansas Comet.
It was great that he was so per-
sonal. Ive been through book sign-
ings before where they dont even
look up at you, but hes a very person-
able guy, said Schipfmann, who like
a few other fans, wore a replica of
Sayers No. 40 Chicago Bears jersey
to the event.
Several University students from
the Chicago area came to meet
Sayers. James Buddig, Hinsdale, Ill.,
sophomore said meeting Sayers was
awesome and unforgettable.
Im a big fan because he went
to KU and played for the Bears,
Buddig said. My dad had met him
once before, and my friend met Mike
Ditka before for a signing like this, so
I had to one-up them.
Eitner said that the store sold
more than 350 copies of Sayers new
book that day. The store will donate
a portion of its sales from Saturday
to the Gale Sayers Center, an educa-
tional center for children ages 8 to 12
in Mount Prospect, Ill., that will open
in the fall. Sayers is also donating all
of his royalties from the book to the
center.
Schipfmann said that she admired
Sayers commitment to communi-
ty and that she wasnt surprised he
would donate his royalties from the
book.
Some of the older fans in atten-
dance relived memories of watching
Sayers playing days. Steve Kovinski,
Schipfmanns father, recalled the day
he watched Sayers return a 96-yard

Healthy sleep often falls by the
wayside in the lives of many college
students.
Homework, jobs, stress and a
social life make it difficult to attain
the eight hours of sleep per night
recommended by the National Sleep
Foundation.
To tackle this and other sleep-relat-
ed health issues on campus, Student
Health Services is sponsoring Sleep
Awareness Week at the University of
Kansas Monday through Thursday.
Kara Boston, Shabbona, Ill., senior
and coordinator of Sleep Awareness
Week, said information would be
available to students at tables on
campus throughout the week.
Sleep deprivation, drowsy driving
and strategies for better sleep were
among the topics Boston said would
be covered.
For college students, you want
to be social and do well in school,
Boston said. Sleep is just as impor-
tant. It really affects your life full
circle.
Carole Guillaume, a physician at
Watkins Memorial Health Center
certified in family and sleep medi-
cine, said college students had devel-
oped many unhealthy sleep habits, or
what she called bad sleep hygiene.
That includes taking naps during
the day, maintaining an inconsis-
tent sleep schedule and using the
bedroom to do homework or play
video games rather than dedicating
it to sleep.
There are so many more stimu-
lating things in the wee hours of the
morning now than ever before, and
thats a distraction, Guillaume said.
It makes it hard to relax.
To improve sleep habits, Guillaume
said students could remember to
avoid certain things before bedtime,
like caffeine, nicotine, exercise and
alcohol.
According to ETR Associates, a
health education company, drinking
caffeine three to six hours before
bedtime can double the amount of
time it takes to fall asleep.
Guillaume said nicotine and exer-
cising a few hours before bedtime
could have a similar effect. She also
said alcohol caused a jolt of adrena-
line once it wore off, keeping a per-
son awake for much of the night.
Guillaume said the best way to
improve sleep hygiene was for stu-
dents to make sleep a priority by
managing their time during the day
to allow for a consistent bedtime.
Make sleep something enjoyable
to do, she said. You will have more
energy, more vitality and do better in
any activity you pursue.
Students with specific questions
about sleeping habits or disorders
can get the contact information of
sleep specialists on campus at the
Sleep Awareness Week information
tables.

Fans, campers ignite excitement for ESPNs GameDay
BY IAN JAMES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela
President Hugo Chavez ordered
Venezuelas embassy in Colombia
closed and sent thousands of troops
to the countries border Sunday
after Colombias military killed a
top rebel leader.
The leftist leader warned that
Colombias slaying of rebel com-
mander Raul Reyes could spark a
war in South America and the angry
rhetoric sent relations between the
nations to their lowest point in
Chavezs nine-year presidency.
Speaking on his weekly TV and
radio program, Chavez told his
defense minister: move 10 battal-
ions to the border with Colombia
for me, immediately. He ordered
the Venezuelan Embassy in Bogota
closed and said all embassy person-
nel would be withdrawn.
Chavez, a fierce critic of
Washington, called the U.S.-allied
government in Bogota a terrorist
state and labeled President Alvaro
Uribe a criminal.
Chavez condemned Colombias
slaying of Reyes and 16 other guer-
rillas on Saturday, saying they were
killed while they slept in a camp
across the border in Ecuadorean
territory. He said Colombia invad-
ed Ecuador, flagrantly violated
Ecuadors sovereignty.
It wasnt any combat. It was a
cowardly murder, all of it coldly
calculated, Chavez said.
We pay tribute to a true revo-
lutionary, who was Raul Reyes,
Chavez said, recalling that he had
met rebel in Brazil in 1995 and call-
ing him a good revolutionary.
Chavez said he had just spo-
ken to Ecuadorean President Rafael
Correa and that Ecuador was also
sending troops to its border with
Colombia.
The Colombian government
has become the Israel of Latin
America, an agitated Chavez said,
mentioning another country that
he has criticized for its military
strikes. We arent going to permit
Colombia to become the Israel of
these lands.
Chavez accused Uribe of being
a puppet of Washington and acting
on behalf of the U.S. government,
saying Draculas fangs (are) are
covered in blood.
Some day Colombia will be
freed from the hand of the (U.S.)
empire, Chavez said. We have to
liberate Colombia, he added, say-
ing Colombias people will eventu-
ally do away with its government.
The U.S. State Department had
no immediate reaction to Chavezs
comments
Chavez maintains warm rela-
tions with the Colombias largest
guerrilla group, the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of Colombia, or
FARC, and has sought to play a
role as mediator in the conflict
despite his growing conflict with
Colombias government.
Chavezs government called the
Colombian military attack a set-
back in efforts to negotiate a swap
of rebel-held hostages for impris-
oned guerrillas.
Colombia and Venezuela have
been locked in a diplomatic crisis
since November, when Uribe ended
Chavezs official role negotiating
a proposed hostages-for-prisoners
swap.
Nevertheless, the FARC freed
four hostages to Venezuelan officials
last week, and they were reunited
with their families in Caracas. It
was the second unilateral release by
the FARC this year.
Chavez has recently angered
Uribe by urging world leaders to
classify the leftist rebels as insur-
gents rather than terrorists.
The FARC has proposed trad-
ing some 40 remaining high-
value captives, including former
Colombian presidential candidate
Ingrid Betancourt and three U.S.
defense contractors, for hundreds
of imprisoned guerrillas.

Ecuadorean territory on a Saturday raid that killed a senior commander of Colombias largest
guerrilla group.

The excitement for ESPNs
College GameDay program start-
ed long before the doors to Allen
Fieldhouse opened at 8 a.m. Saturday.
Some bared the elements and the
skunks when they camped out-
side the doors Friday night.
The first fans showed up around
7 p.m. Friday. Andrew Stanley,
Overland Park junior, came pre-
pared for the night.
I put all the camping stuff in my
car and came here, Stanley said.
Another member of Stanleys
group borrowed a tent from the
Student Fitness and Recreation
Center for the night.
The campers found ways to make
the night interesting. They ate pizza,
watched DVDs and played games.
We found an unused outlet out-
side, so I went back to my place
and got a projector, a DVD player
and a Nintendo 64, hooked them
up and projected it on the parking
garage, Stanley said. We watched
The Office and played GoldenEye
for a while.
The entertainment may have
drawn an uninvited guest over as
well.
There was a skunk that came
over, Stanley said. Some people
upset it, and so it sprayed.
A few other groups joined
Stanleys group of 20 fans for camp-
ing that night. Their efforts paid
off in the morning. The campers
had prime seats for the show, right
behind the hosts desk.
The next morning, fans slowly
started showing up an hour before
the doors opened. Some fans grum-
bled about the small size of the crowd,
but by the time that the College
GameDay crew started filming a
few pieces for SportsCenter at about
9 a.m., fans had filled the east side of
the fieldhouse and screamed as loud
as possible.
It was ten times louder than last
year, said Brock Templeman, an
Overland Park freshman.
Digger Phelps, one of the shows
hosts, served as the emcee before the
show and between shots. He kept
the crowd in a frenzy and pumped
them up before the cameras started
rolling.
You were so good that we had to
repeat. We came back because youre
the best College GameDay crowd
in four years, Phelps told the crowd
before the first shot of the day.
Phelps efforts to excite the crowd
included striking up the KU pep
band and dancing with one of the
Rock Chalk Dancers.
The guys at the desk made it
more interesting. Diggers dancing
was hilarious, Templeman said.
The crowd also got boosts of
energy when segments featured
the Jayhawks. One of the segments
was a college basketball version of
the game show Deal or No Deal.
During the segment, host Hubert
Davis said that Kansas wanted to get
beyond the Final Four. Sophomore
guard Sherron Collins also stirred
the crowd when he emerged from
the locker room to take a peek at the
crowd during a commercial break.
Stanley and Templeman agreed
that College GameDay was worth
their time.
Its great being right in the front
row of the greatest atmosphere in the
world. Being here for the payback
and going nuts and intimidating the
Wildcats is awesome, Stanley said.
The College GameDay crowd
may have been loud, but it didnt
come close to the noise during
Kansas victory against Kansas State
later that night.

Suicide bomber causes 40 deaths
BY RIAZ KHAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PESHAWAR, Pakistan A
bomber blew himself up Sunday
among thousands of tribal members
discussing resistance to al-Qaida and
the Taliban, killing 40 people in the
third suicide attack in as many days
in northwestern Pakistan.
The rash of suicide bombings
show President Pervez Musharraf s
weakening control of the region
despite the deployment of thousands
of troops to crush Islamic militants.
Five tribes were meeting to final-
ize a resolution that would punish
anyone who shelters or helps Islamic
militants, including al-Qaida and
Taliban fighters, Interior Ministry
spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema
said.
A young man walked up to a
group of elders and detonated his
explosives, said Alam Khan, a tribes-
man at the meeting in Darra Adam
Khel, a town in North West Frontier
Province about 25 miles south of the
provincial capital, Peshawar.
It was a huge explosion and
left body parts and blood scattered
on the ground, said Ramin Khan,
another participant whose left leg
and face were injured. He and others
hurt in the attack were brought to a
hospital in Peshawar.
Dr. Hamid Afridy, the areas chief
medical officer, said he counted 40
bodies and more than 100 injured
were sent to the hospital. He said
many were in critical condition and
feared the death toll could rise.
Television footage showed blood,
shoes and caps littering the bomb-
ing site a tree-lined ground sur-
rounded by wheat fields and only
yards away from brick homes.
Musharraf called the bombing an
attempt to sabotage tribal efforts
to rid the region of militant influ-
ence and reiterated the governments
resolve and commitment in the
fight against terrorism.

Training school closed,
women claim abuse
COLUMBIA, Miss. The Co-
lumbia Training School pleas-
ant on the outside, austere on the
inside has been home to 37 of
the most troubled young women
in Mississippi.
If some of those girls and their
advocates are to be believed, it is
also a cruel and frightening place.
The school has been sued
twice in the past four years. One
suit brought by the U.S. Justice
Department, which the state
settled in 2005, claimed detainees
were thrown naked in to cells and
forced to eat their own vomit.
The second one, brought by eight
girls last year, said they were
subjected to horrendous physical
and sexual abuse. Several of the
detainees said they were shackled
for 12 hours a day.
These are harsh and disturbing
charges and, in the end, they
were among the reasons why
state ofcials announced in Febru-
ary that they will close Columbia.
But they arent uncommon.
Across the country, in state
after state, child advocates have
deplored the conditions under
which young ofenders are
housed conditions that include
sexual and physical abuse and
even deaths in restraints. The
U.S. Justice Department has fled
lawsuits against facilities in 11
states for supervision that is either
abusive or harmfully lax and
shoddy.
Still, a lack of oversight and
nationally accepted standards of
tracking abuse make it difcult to
know exactly how many young-
sters have been assaulted or
neglected.

Boy accused of murdering his family
AssociAted PRess
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. A teen-
age boy is accused of fatally shooting
his mother and her two little girls, one
of whom was the 4-year-old daughter
of rap star Juvenile.
Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr., 17,
was charged Friday with murder in
the deaths at the family home near
Lawrenceville, where the bodies were
found the night before, said police
spokeswoman Illana Spellman.
She identified the victims as
Gwinnett County Sheriff s Deputy
Joy Deleston, 39, and her two daugh-
ters, Micaiah, 11, and Jelani, 4. The
motive was still unclear.
Deleston brought a paternity suit in
2004, claiming that the 32-year-old rap
star Juvenile, whose real name is Terius
Gray, was Jelanis father, Gwinnett
County court records show.
Attorney Randy Kessler, who rep-
resented Juvenile in the proceedings,
said the case was resolved peacefully
by consent order in 2006. Both parties
agreed Juvenile was the father.
Terrell was taken to jail in neighbor-
ing DeKalb County to avoid any poten-
tial conflict because Deleston worked
for Gwinnett County, Spellman said.
He is being held without bail.
Because of his age, prosecutors can-
not seek the death penalty against
Terrell. A preliminary hearing will be
set next week in Gwinnett County
Superior Court, said prosecutor
Danny Porter.
Defense attorney Lyle Porter did
not return a call Friday, and a num-
ber was not immediately available
for Juvenile or a spokesperson.
Authorities on Friday found
the gun used, going by informa-
tion provided by Terrell. Spellman
said she could not confirm whether
Delestons service weapon was used.
Deleston, a seven-year member of
the department, had been assigned to
the sex offender unit, officials said.
Police had gone to the subdivision
because a caller reported shots fired,
Officer David Schiralli said earlier.
They found a bullet hole in a house,
then checked next door. There was
no answer, but lights were on, Schiralli
said. They opened the door a little bit
to announce themselves, then discov-
ered the bodies, he said.

Having a Myspace means your
life is an open book even when
youre six feet under. Now, people
can still look at the skeletons in your
Myspace closet.
Mydeathspace.com is a Web site
dedicated to collecting the Myspace
sites of people who have died. It also
links news stories and obituaries of
the persons death if it was newswor-
thy enough. The sites purpose is for
people to pay their respects by leav-
ing notes in each sites comments
area.
Mike Patterson, the creator of the
site, said in an interview with The
New Tribune, that he started the site
to show that teens arent invincible
and that the consequences for not
using their heads dont just affect
themselves, but friends and family
members as well.
Teens arent the only people fea-
tured in the site, though. At a ran-
dom viewing, there was a 39-year-
old, a 49-year-old, a 34-year-old and
countless others in their mid- to
upper-thirties.
The deaths are almost all of
newsworthy traits. Suicides, freak
accidents and car accidents are a
dime a dozen. I wonder if being
morbidly fascinated about a strang-
ers death is making a difference in
the world.
A map of the U.S. is also on
the site and shows the most recent
deaths around the country. How
convenient.
Thankfully, the Web site has
proved there is still some humanity
left in the world. Patterson receives
75 percent hate mail and 25 percent
fan mail. I hope by the time the site
suffers its own demise, hate mail is
at least in the 90th percentile.
The site can be a tool for express-
ing words that werent expressed on
the physical earth. The comments,
though, can be filled with love or
filled with hate. One comment from
one user said, Teen dies while try-
ing to revive a cellphone I just
had to laugh out loud.
Patterson says he is protected
by the first amendment in his cru-
sade of warning young adults. If
Patterson is protected in express-
ing his opinion about displaying to
the world certain peoples deaths,
shouldnt the user who posted the
Teen dies comment also be pro-
tected?
No, it was removed from the site.
Not before, Im sure, thousands of
other visitors viewed the comment.
I guess its at Pattersons discre-
tion to decide whats appropriate in
the cyber world.
Ill leave you with a comment
that one user said about a man who
died while taking part in a cupcake
eating competition, I shall cringe
in advance for offending anyone.
Millions of fat girls a year can do
this, but one drunk man chokes and
dies? How the hell? How dense were
the cuppycakes? Thick icing? I mean
come on, its cake. Even children
on their first birthday can handle
a huge mouthful. So sorry for the
family though.
The user said he did feel sorry for
the family, but he also injected some
humor into his comment.
Worth removal on the site? Check
out mydeathspace.com and decide
for yourself. And think about if you
died in an accident, would you want
to be compared to millions of fat
girls by a stranger?
I didnt think so.

A marmot with an attitude may
have declared that winter is here
to stay, but I can smell spring just
around the corner. The coming
thaw and the budding trees can only
mean one thing.
Festival season is on its way!
The overpowering aromas of
unshaven armpits and well-trodden
grass are already flooding my nos-
trils.
For those still a bit wary of the
otherworldly experience that is fes-
tival life, this may be the year to
broaden your musical horizons.
Music festivals do just that, they
allow you to see the bands that you
love and expose yourself to new acts
that may just melt your metaphori-
cal face off.
Discovery is half of the fun of
these events, not only in a musical
sense but the pilgrimage to the festi-
val grounds can be an experience in
itself.
A road trip, however far, provides
a rare opportunity to see all the
great land thats in between point A
and point B that so often gets over-
looked as our crotches are checked
for weaponry in airport security
lines.
There are many who still think
that festival-goers are solely com-
posed of barefoot hippies and lotus-
eaters.
This is a fallacy.
The festival crowd has grown
increasingly diverse as the years have
passed and you are liable to find any
type of person you can imagine bak-
ing in the summertime sun.
Nowadays, there is a festival
for almost anyone. For example,
Jewlicious Festival 4.0, described as
a mind-expanding Jewish culture
fun fest. Or if youre a bit less secu-
lar how about Tubeapalooza Music
and Sled festival in McCall, Idaho?
Far and wide, big and small, you
name it. We have festivals galore.
Then of course there are the more
well known events like Bonnaroo,
Lollapalooza and Coachella, which
offer some of the big name head
liners. Not to mention a new breed
of festivals that have sprung up with
some surprisingly great line-ups.
Take the All Points West Fest in
New York City for example, which
is being headlined by Radiohead for
an unprecedented two days.
Of all the Festivals I have men-
tioned there is one you should care
about more than any.
The Wakarusa music and camp-
ing festival takes place in our very
own town and boasts one of the
most impressive lineups year after
year.
This summer they top it off with
The Flaming Lips and Cake, along
with a host of other great acts.
By going to this event youre not
only supporting a piece of Kansas
culture you may just see a side of
Lawrence you never knew existed.
Before you write-off the festival
scene as a just a romp in the woods
for hazy-eyed strangers check again,
you may just find the festival that
was meant for you.

NEWS 10A monday, march 3, 2008
College GameDay host Rece
Davis took some time to do an
interview with The University Daily
Kansan reporter Luke Morris. Here
are some of the highlights from the
interview.
Morris: Has the show become
routine or is it still exciting for you?
Davis: Look, if you dont feel the
adrenaline start to pump when you
walk out in front of great crowds like
we have here in Kansas, you should
be doing something else. I still feel
that every week. Every week its still
a kick and a real jolt of energy when
you walk out in front of the crowd
and have them all excited to have the
show here and excited about college
basketball, the game and their team.
Morris: How early do you have
to start preparing for the show on
Saturday mornings?
Davis: Its Jays job to make
sure theres a Starbucks on the way
because the first thing Diggers going
to say in the morning is Starbucks.
Well hit a Starbucks on the way in.
Well probably meet
at 6:30 or 6:45 in the
lobby, hit Starbucks
and wind up here to
start getting ready
for the show. Ill do
a lot of work on the
show tonight. By
the time I wake up
in the morning, Ill be ready for
the show. Itll just be last minute
prepping, tweaking and discussing
tomorrow.
Morris: What does it take to get
you up on Saturdays?
Davis: Just a big cup of coffee,
and thats it. Thatll get me through
the show. Then Ive gotta go to that
Wheel place and get me one of those
Wang Burgers.
Morris: Is there a lot of chemis-
try between you and the other hosts
off the set?
Davis: Oh yeah. Were all good
friends, but nothing is sacred when
you go into that
trailer. Nobody
gets a break in that
trailer. We all stick
it to each other
pretty good. Its not
a place for the faint
of heart or the thin
of skin.
Morris: So do you mention
Diggers loss to Dayton when he
mentions that he knocked off seven
No. 1 teams?
Davis: Yes or my personal favor-
ite to remind him of is Arkansas-
Little Rock. Ive forgotten, it was
either 86 or 87 in a 3 vs. 14 NCAA
tournament game. Digger goes down
to the Trojans of Arkansas Little-
Rock.
Morris: A lot of people comment
on Diggers fashion.
Davis: Or lack thereof.
Morris: Does he pick out the
tie or the highlighter first?
Davis: I dont know that he
really picks out either. I think he
just turns out the light and sticks
a hand in the closet and
grabs one.
Morris: Did you see
yourself in this position
when you were in col-
lege?
D a v i s :
Definitely. I saw
myself here
when I was in
high school.
This is what I wanted to do. Did I
know there would be a show called
College GameDay? No. But I knew
I wanted to be a broadcaster and be
heavily involved in college sports
because college football and college
basketball are the two things Im pas-
sionate about, and I feel like I have
the best job in the country that I have
the opportunity to do those things.
But its been my goal for a long time,
and Im fortunate enough to be able
to live that right now.

Q

state
Drunk driving victim regains
voice but not quality life
HUTCHINSON A woman who
began speaking 17 years after
being hit by a drunken driver still
doesnt have her life back, her
mother said.
Betsy Scantlin spoke last week
about her daughter, Sarah, who
regained her ability to speak in
2005, 17 years after sufering brain
injuries when a drunken driver hit
her as she was walking across a
street in Hutchinson.
She can answer us and she
can make statements, but she has
never asked a question, Scantlin
told a meeting of the Reno County
DUI Impact Panel. Its not what
you would call a conversation, and
I miss that. I wish I could say that
its OK now that shes talking, but
all I can say is, shes talking. She
doesnt have her life back. Shell
never have her life back.
A young man asked Scantlin
what happened to the person who
hit Sarah just after she turned 18
years old.
He got the maximum sentence
at the time, Scantlin answered.
But he doesnt remember hitting
Sarah. I asked him once if he felt
bad, and he said he did, but that
he doesnt remember it. That is a
real hard statement for me.
The impact panel was formed
in 1992 to help spread information
about the efects of drunken driv-
ing on families of wreck victims. It
targets people on probation or go-
ing through the diversion process
after being charged with drunken
driving.
It also seeks to educate minors
who have been charged with
illegal consumption or with other
alcohol and drug-related ofenses.
Our message is real simple,
said Kansas Highway Patrol Capt.
Alan Stoecklein. If you drink, dont
drive, and here is why.

PAT KNIGHT DEBUTS AS
COACH IN FIELDHOUSE

BASEBALL TEAM
BEATS IOWA

BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com

When practice ended on Friday, the play-
ers walked off the floor thinking it was one
of their best of the season.
Then, Bill Self brought out a video. Movie
time. Except, the players hadnt been antici-
pating this blockbuster. The feature presen-
tation included all the negative images from
the first half of Kansas January game against
Kansas State.
Brandon Rush saw a lack of pressure.
Russell Robinson saw how much harder K-
States guards played. If the lingering memo-
ries of K-States Jacob Pullen, Clent Stewart
and Bill Walker doing whatever they want-
ed against them werent enough, this tape
pushed the guards over the edge.
Everybody got mad, Robinson said. We
said to each other that we have to go out
there with all the energy.
And they did on Saturday night. Kansas
(26-3, 11-3) defeated Kansas State 88-74 at
Allen Fieldhouse, running away with the
game in the first few minutes. The victory
alleviated the woes the Jayhawks had been
feeling from their first matchup with the
Wildcats, put them into a tie with Texas
for first place in the league and showed just
how good they could play when they bring
enough energy.
They handled us at Bramlage, Self said.
Tonight, we were the aggressor and handled
them.
The Jayhawks forced four turnovers and
two jump balls in the first five minutes. On
the second one, Stewart and Sasha Kaun
dove into a scuffle near the free-throw line
for several seconds. Stewart got up scowling.
Bill Walker got up limping. Kansas didnt
back away from anything all night.
The initial burst of energy gave the
Jayhawks a 21-point lead by the nine-min-
ute mark. By halftime, Kansas had 10 steals
and forced 14 turnovers. Stewart, Walker
and Pullen three players who toasted the
Jayhawks in January made a total of three
field goals and turned the ball over seven
times. It also helped that Walker and Michael
Beasley got into early foul trouble.
When Beasley got back in, the Jayhawks
were too far ahead and too focused to let his
39 points make a difference.
They had us on our heels, K-State coach
Frank Martin said. When you get a team on
its heels, that team is always trying to recover
rather than fight back, and thats the phase
they had us in all night.
Aside from intensity, Kansas was just
pretty dang good. Rush shot three-point
daggers. Darnell Jackson and Darrell Arthur
got the ball inside. Sherron Collins barked
orders for his team and scuffled with Darren
Kent. Five players scored in double figures.
Amidst all the balance, Collins and Rush
stood out. Both have dealt with injuries this
season, and both had their best games since
sustaining those setbacks.
Collins barely played at the Oklahoma
State game after sitting out the entire week
of practice. Against Iowa State, Self called
Collins a shell of his former self. Saturday
night, he collected four steals, beat everyone
down the court for layups and scored in
traffic.
The running, jumping Collins could be
returning for good, too, in place of the hob-
bling, limping one that Kansas fans have seen
too often this season. Team doctors have said
that Collins knee bruise should heal soon,
and when it does, hell be pain free.
Rushs injury hasnt lingered like Collins,
but he hadnt put together a great perfor-
mance since his May ACL tear. Rush shot
brilliantly and defended well for stretches
but never pieced together a complete game.
He finally did on Saturday scoring 21 and
staying aggressive for all 40 minutes in front
of a small army of NBA scouts there to watch
Beasley.
Every game, Rush said, I go out and
play where my heart is Tonight, I think I
proved a little point.
The Jayhawks as a team might have done
the same. They showed a relentless attitude
to attack, which was evident from their 15
steals and 23 offensive rebounds. Self said
they did everything else the same during
the games theyd struggled. The plays hadnt
changed. The mindset had.
Guys just had more energy, Self said.
We played with a swagger tonight.
After the Iowa State game, Self made it clear
that his team played better than it had in weeks.
Still, he called the improvement a start.
So, did Saturdays game mark the true
turning point? Is it the sure sign that Kansas
is back to playing the way it was in December,
when fans salivated, bracketologists penciled
the Jayhawks in as a guaranteed No. 1 seed
and players lived in a dream world where a
perfect season was the hottest topic?
Theres still a long way to go, but if Kansas
can maintain the passion that it played with on
Saturday night, a promising future seems likely.
I told them, Self said, Youll play even
harder on Monday.

Darnell Jackson might get a little emo-
tional when he gives his senior speech
tonight, but he promises he wont pull a
Wayne Simien.
Three years ago, Simien talked deep
into the night. It was almost never-end-
ing.
Im not going to go up there and talk
for two hours, Jackson said. Ill be sure
to cut it short. I dont want the fans to
fall asleep.
Five seniors Russell Robinson,
Jackson, Sasha Kaun, Rodrick Stewart
and Jeremy Case - will celebrate their last
game in Allen Fieldhouse tonight at 8
against Texas Tech. Kaun, Robinson and
Jackson were all members of Self s first
recruiting class. Case redshirted a year,
and Stewart transferred as a sophomore.
Few KU senior classes compare to
this one. The seniors have compiled a
107-23 record during the past four years.
Theyve also won three Big 12 regular
season titles and two Big 12 tournament
championships.
Not bad achievements for a class
that didnt even include a McDonalds
All-American. Sure, Robinson was a
top-40 recruit, and Jackson and Kaun
werent exactly slouches in high school,
but in many ways, this group has over
achieved.
To commemorate its 84-75 victory against
Kansas in January, Kansas State announced
that it would release a two-disc DVD box
set chronicling the game and its ensuing
celebration.
The telecast from Kansas payback 88-74
victory Saturday wont be packaged into a
collectors item, but it was a more important
feat.
For starters, the bludgeoning proved the
Jayhawks were still the superior team in the
state and put them back on top of the Big
12 standings. But the victory signified more
than that: It showed Kansas was again ready
to play at the level that guided it to a 20-0
start to the season.
Guys had energy, balance and played
with a little bit of swagger, Kansas coach
Bill Self said.
Its been a while since Self has been able
to say that with any conviction. Kansas hasnt
played like it did Saturday since, well, before
the trip to Manhattan that ruined its unde-
feated aspirations.
In the following weeks, Self said that the
Jayhawks started playing sluggishly because
they were exhausted from trying to keep
their run at perfection alive. But the team
that played at Allen Fieldhouse Saturday
looked anything but drowsy.
Junior guard Brandon Rush showed
he could still take over games by scoring
21 points and hitting five three-pointers.
Sophomore guard Sherron Collins proved
hes recovered well from all of his bumps
and bruises with lethal speed and 18 points.
The senior class finally presented a sense
of urgency and combined for 33 points, 20
rebounds and nine assists.
I think, overall, this was the best game
our team played, Collins said.
Its possible. The Jayhawks used smother-
ing defense to give Wildcat super freshman
Michael Beasley an insignificant 39-point
performance and frustrate his freshman
sidekick, Bill Walker.
Led by senior guard Russell Robinsons
and Collins four steals each, Kansas swiped
the ball away 15 times. It was the second
most this season, only less than an 18-steal
outing against Yale. That number is specifi-
cally special to the Hawks because they are
at their best when defensive pressure leads
to easy fast break points.
Kansas just simply needed to beat Kansas
State to take its season to the next level. The
Jayhawks were like Patrick Swayze in Ghost
stuck in limbo until taking care of unfin-
ished business.
If they can play with the same fervor they
did against the Cats for the rest of the season,
the Jayhawks are back to being a bona-fide
national title contender. But the harsh reality
is that not every game commands the inten-
sity of a revenge-filled rivalry game or brings
an entourage of ESPN personalities. It wasnt
a coincidence that Kansas was as motivated
to win this matchup as Barack Obama is to
take the Texas primary.
Keeping it up is the hard part. Tonights
Big Monday showdown with Texas Tech
gives Kansas the perfect opportunity to play
satisfied and trip up before the end of the
regular season. But Rush scoffed at that sug-
gestion because he thought the Jayhawks
were ready to take over.
Its going to be senior night Monday
night, Rush said. I dont think were going
to have a letdown.

Not playing hard for the entire 40 min-
utes of a game has been one of several
problems for Kansas lately. Saturday after-
noon it went a step further as the Jayhawks
key lapses were measured in seconds rath-
er than minutes.
Several times in the second half, Iowa
State either made a shot or got fouled with
just one second remaining on the shot
clock. The last of those came in the waning
minutes of the game and served as back-
breaking plays in a 51-42 Cyclone victory.

The Jayhawks traveled to
Carbondale, Ill., for the Southern
Illinois Invitational tournament this
past weekend. They faced off against
Northwestern, Southern Illinois,
Western Illinois and Bradley in the
tournament. The Jayhawks went 3-1
to improve their overall record to
15-5
The Hawks opened up the tour-
nament against
the fifth-ranked
Nor t hwe s t e r n
W i l d c a t s ,
according to
the espn.com/
USA Softball
C o l l e g i a t e
Top 25 poll.
Northwesterns
sophomore pitcher Lauren Delaney
blanked the Jayhawks 2-0. The
Hawks were only able to manage
one hit, a single by junior catcher
Elle Pottorf. KU batters fanned nine
times in the game. Freshman pitcher
Allison Clark limited the Wildcats to
two hits in seven innings, but a lack
of offense lead to the loss.
Coach Tracy Bunge said she was
pleased with the balance of the pitch-
ing staff, especially with sophomore
pitcher Sarah Vertelka unable to play
this weekend.
The Jayhawks bounced back in
the second game on Saturday against
Southern Illinois. Junior pitcher Valerie
George pitched her second shutout
of the season to earn a 2-0 victory.
Sophomore first baseman Amanda
Jobe and freshman catcher Brittany
Hile drove in the Jayhawks two runs.
George struck out nine Salukis in a
strong pitching performance.
We needed a good performance
from her until the offense got going
and we got a couple of hits and
scored some runs, Bunge said.
Bunge said she was extremely
pleased since Southern Illinois was
a dangerous ball club.
The Jayhawks offense came out
strong on Sunday. The Jayhawks
started the day with an 8-6 victory
over Western Illinois. Pottorf and
Clark hit home runs for Kansas,
and junior center fielder Dougie
McCaulley went three-for-four with
an RBI and scored a run. Kansas
jumped to an 8-1 lead through five
innings, but Western Illinois rallied
for five runs in the bottom of the
sixth inning to make it close. George
relieved Clark in the sixth to pre-
serve the victory and earn the save.
Bunge said she was very happy to
see the offense perform on Sunday.
We needed it, Bunge said. We
hadnt really clicked much on offense
and it was really nice to see what we
did in both games today.
Bunge said she was pleased with
the teams balance so far this season.
Theres no one player shoulder-
ing the load, Bunge said.
The Jayhawks completed the tour-
nament with a 10-2 run-rule victory
over Bradley. Kansas opened up the
game with four runs in the first and
added five in the bottom of the fifth
to end the game. Jobe hit her fourth
home run of the season and eight of
nine starters collected a hit. Junior
shortstop Stevie Crisosto and senior
left fielder Betsy Wilson drove in
two runs.
Bunge said some of the wins in the
tournament this weekend would ben-
efit the Jayhawks later in the season
when it comes time for post-season
play.
Both the Southern Illinois game
and the Bradley game are good
region wins for us, Bunge said.
When it comes down to late in the
season and post-season selection,
those are the kinds of games that
matter for us.

Brandon rush, 6-foot-6 junior
guard
Can Rush do it again? Can he
put together two quality halves
of scoring? The
bet here is that
yes he will. Its
crunch time for
Rush. He doesnt
want to be back
here next season
and will likely
leave for the NBA
Draft no matter
where he is projected. Right now,
his draft stock is plummeting, and
he needs to perform at a much
higher level during the next month
if he wants to sneak back into the
frst round. Rush wants to win, and
he wants to be a high draft pick.
Thats why his play is going to start
improving.

67-59 Kansas
It wont be pretty, but the Jayhawks will fnd a way to get the victory in
this must-win game. Look for Arthur to perform much better than he did
last Saturday.
russell robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard
A perfect game for Robinson on Saturday night.
He distributed the ball, played defense and shot
when he had open looks. Hard to believe this will
be the last time fans will ever hear New York, New
York.

Jeremy Case, 6-foot-1 senior guard
Cases career probably didnt turn out exactly the
way he wanted it to. Maybe hell have a solid perfor-
mance in his last game at the feldhouse.

rodrick Stewart, 6-foot-4 senior guard
Stewart played good defense and
hustled for loose balls against Kansas
State on Saturday. He still has an op-
portunity to be a diference-maker
in the postseason.

darnell Jackson, 6-foot-
8 senior forward
Jackson put together a
great second half against the
Wildcats after getting into early
foul trouble. Its a good bet
that Jackson will have the best
senior speech.

Sasha Kaun, 6-foot-11 senior
center
When Jackson got into foul
trouble early on Saturday, Kaun
picked up the slack by scoring
and rebounding. Hes turned into a
quality backup post player.

darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward
Arthur scored early then stopped looking for his
shot. Although the Jayhawks play best when hes
the top-scoring threat, its even more important for
him to establish himself early.
This is the night for all the
seniors. Everyone will want to
win extra badly for them, giving
Texas Tech a small chance to spring
an upset. Kansas played its best
game in more than a month on
Saturday, and the Jayhawks can
build on it with another solid game
tonight. The Red Raiders shouldve
gotten their attention with a vic-
tory against Texas on Saturday, so
expect another energetic perfor-
mance.
will starting all fve seniors
prevent Kansas from coming out
with enough energy?
The Jayhawks had one of their
most intense outings of the year
on Saturday. They played with
fre from the opening tip. Rodrick
Stewart, Jeremy Case and Sasha
Kaun will all certainly play with en-
ergy tonight, but their early playing
time could prevent Brandon Rush
and Mario Chalmers from coming
out at a maximum energy level
when they enter the game. Those
players arent used to coming of
the bench and might not be ready
for it. That said, Kansas has to start
all its seniors. Its tradition.
Our guys were obviously ready
to play. February wasnt a great
month for us. March has started
out good.
Bill Self
Quickness and energy are the
biggest things. When we play
good, its because of the intangible,
not what we run.
Bill Self
If you had asked me, I wouldnt
even know he had an injury. Hes
been so patient about it.
Russell Robinson on Brandon Rush
Allen Fieldhouse will rock if
The seniors go out with a victory. Senior Night or Day has been a ma-
jor tradition since Roy Williams started coaching the team. Fans had no
seniors to cheer for last season, so they should be extra pumped about
the fnal game for this years class.
phog Allen will roll over in over in his Grave if
Kansas has a letdown after the big victory on Saturday night. The
Kansas State game could be a building block or it could be seen as too
big of an accomplishment. If thats the case, the Jayhawks might not
be focused for this next game against Texas Tech. Fortunately, the Red
Raiders just upset Texas, so Kansas will probably not take them lightly.

Hawks try to grab last home victory against Red Raiders
John roberson, 5-foot-11 freshman guard
Texas Techs starting point guard scores 12.1
points per game and leads the Red Raiders in assists.


Charlie Burgess, 6-foot-1 senior guard
The New York city native has started 15
games and is averaging 5.3 points per game.

Alan voskuil, 6-foot-3 junior
guard
Voskuil may be the best
shooter in the Big 12 conference. The
scrappy guard is shooting 53.9 percent
from three-point range.


martin Zeno, 6-foot-5
senior guard
Texas Tech plays
small. Need evidence? Martin
Zeno, at 6-foot-5 is the Red
Raiders second tallest starter.


damir Suljagic, 6-foot-8
junior forward
Suljagic will bang
with Kansas big guys inside.
But thats about all he will do.
The junior forward is averag-
ing 5.2 points per game.



Trevor Cook, 6-foot-
8 sophomore forward,
Cook, a transfer from Texas State, gives the
Red Raiders some size of the bench something they
sorely need.

First thing Bill Self
should do today, is add Texas
Tech coach Pat Knight to his
Christmas Card List. Pat Knights
Texas Tech team upset Texas
83-80 on Saturday, helping
the Jayhawks draw even with
the Longhorns at 11-3 in the
Big 12 standings. Knight, who
took over after his dad - the
legendary Bobby Knight - quit
midseason, has coached Texas
Tech to a 3-4 record. At 7-7 in
the Big 12, Texas Tech still has
an outside chance to fnish in
the top half of the Big 12 and
throw its name on to the NCAA
tournament bubble. But a loss
tonight against Kansas a team
it upset last season in Lubbock,
Texas would end that hopeful
talk pretty quickly.
martin Zeno, 6-foot-5
senior guard
How old is Martin
Zeno? It seems like hes been
lacing up his shoes in Lubbock,
Texas for 10 years. The senior
is actually only 22 years old.
But his 1,860
career points
demonstrate
his longevity.
Zeno, whos
averaging
15.9 points
per game,
has been
a four-year starter for the
Red Raiders. With his 6-foot-5
frame and sweet left-handed
shooting stroke, Zeno will be
a nice match-up for Kansas
junior guard Brandon Rush. If
Rush shuts Zeno down, expect
Kansas to roll.
who is Pat Knight?
Hes not his dad, Bob
Knight, thats a start. Kansas
fans are probably disappointed
that Bob Knight wont be
making an appearance in Allen
Fieldhouse this year. His polar-
izing presence made every
game more interesting. Instead,
fans will have to deal with his
son, Pat. Pat Knight, who played
for his father at Indiana from
1991 to 1995, is in his seventh
season at Texas Tech he spent
the prior six seasons as an as-
sistant coach. His teams victory
against Texas was his biggest
win to date. That would change
with an upset victory tonight at
Allen Fieldhouse.
Were going to have to have
a great week. Weve got our
energy, balance, and swagger
back a little bit so hopefully
well play well on Monday. Our
fans, players and coaches in
Kansas basketball need to
make sure that Rodrick, Jeremy,
Russell, Sasha and Darnell go
out in style because thats what
Monday is all about.

Kansas

BY SHAWN SHROYER
shroyer@kansan.com
NASHVILLE, Tenn. After a
4-for-5, two home run game on
Saturday, Kansas junior first base-
man Preston Land remarked that
hitting was contagious.
In Kansas Music City Classic
finale against Iowa on Sunday, the
hitting virus spread to Lands team-
mates while junior left-hander Sam
Freeman (2-0) kept it from spread-
ing to the Hawkeyes.
Riding a five-run second inning,
Kansas (4-5) left Nashville, Tenn.,
with a 9-5 victory against Iowa (3-
3), which entered Sunday unbeaten
in the Music City Classic.
When youre struggling scoring
runs, and you leave runners at third
base, the next thing you know, it
puts pressure on you the next time
you have runners in scoring posi-
tion, Kansas coach Ritch Price said.
To break out early like that, I think
allowed everybody to relax and we
swung the bats pretty good.
A day after pounding out 13 hits,
the Jayhawk bats were still hot early
Sunday afternoon.
With two on and one out in
the second inning, freshman third
baseman Tony Thompson came to
the plate. Earlier in the weekend,
Thompson said he wanted to put a
dent in the 30-foot wall looming in
left field at Hawkins Field. Facing
Iowa right-hander Steve Turnbull
(0-1), Thompson did just that,
smacking a single off the wall and
driving in Kansas first run.
There were plenty of dents in it
already, so I was just hoping to add
one to it, Thompson said. I got it.
With the bases loaded later in the
inning, Kansas capitalized on two
Hawkeye errors to extend the rally.
Junior center fielder Nick
Faunce, who led Kansas with four
hits Sunday, hit a high pop fly over
second baseman Justin Tooles head
that right fielder Kyle Riffel should
have taken. Instead, Toole lunged
for it and missed. Riffel then picked
up the ball and overthrew his cutoff
man at second base, allowing two
runs to score.
By the time Iowa nailed down the
third out of the inning, Freeman had
a 5-0 lead to work with.
Freeman was strong on the
mound for Kansas, allowing only
one run through the first four
innings, but Iowa got to him in the
fifth.
Iowa first baseman Wes Freie
started the inning with a walk. The
next batter, left fielder Kurtis Muller,
sent a ball to the gap between left
and center field, plating Freie.
Muller took himself out of scor-
ing position, getting caught stealing
by Kansas senior catcher Ryne Price,
but Iowa shortstop Kevin Hoef used
his speed to create the Hawkeyes
next scoring opportunity.
After beating out an infield sin-
gle, Hoef stole second base. Two
batters later, Hoef scored on a single
by center fielder Caleb Curry.
Iowa put another runner on base,
but Freeman got out of the inning
with his third strikeout of the game
and called it a day. In five innings,
he held Iowa to three runs, despite
allowing eight hits and a walk.
More importantly, he left with
Kansas still on top, 8-3, and him-
self in line for victory. But even
with back-to-back victories to start
the season, Freeman isnt letting the
success get to his head.
Im not the ace; I was just lucky
enough to come out with a vic-
tory today, Freeman said. Ive got
a lot of stuff I need to work on. My
sliders kind of flat right now, and I
was up in the zone a lot today.
Iowa made it interesting, load-
ing the bases on junior closer Paul
Smyth in the ninth. But Smyth man-
aged to retire the next three batters
and seal the victory for Kansas.
The lasting impression Kansas
left at the end of the weekend was
how much its bats had improved
since Friday. In the last two games
of the weekend after being held
to one run on three hits Friday
the Kansas offense combined
for 21 runs and 25 hits. Against
Iowa, seven of Kansas starting nine
recorded hits.
I feel really good about the prog-
ress we made this week, Price said.
I just complimented our team on
the maturity weve shown. We made
progress with the bat, our starting
pitching was good every game, and
our bullpen was solid.

Its an unheralded class, Kansas
coach Bill Self said. A lot of guys get
more attention but this has just been
a fabulous class.
The only way they can improve
their legacy is with a fourth consecu-
tive Big 12 regular season title and a
run to the Final Four.
We have a team to do it if we play
to our potential, Robinson said. I
want to enjoy each moment, live it
up and when all is said and done,
have no regrets.
For now, theyll have to enjoy one
final night at the Fieldhouse. After
tonight, Jackson will never throw
down an alley-oop again in front
of 16,300 Jayhawk fans. Kaun will
never toss a baby-hook over his right
shoulder. Stewart will never sky for
a highlight reel jam. Case will never
pop another three-pointer. Robinson
will never hear the serenade of New
York, New York.
Its their last night, and they want
to win.
All the coaches and players, Self
said, need to get in and make sure
these guys go out in style.
Note:
Walk-on Brad Witherspoon will
not be honored tonight in the ceremo-
ny before the game or with a speech
afterwards. Self said Witherspoon
was technically not a senior. He still
has to be a student-teacher next year
before he can graduate.

dodd@kansan.com
Pat Knight isnt his father. Hes
not Bob Knight, one of the most
successful and controversial coach-
es in college basketball history. Pat
Knights father coached for 42 years
and won more than 900 games. Pat
is a 37-year-old, first-time head
coach, who is only seven games
into his coaching career.
Pat Knights father wouldnt be
caught dead in a bar. After his first
game at Texas Tech, Pat Knight
took his whole staff out for beers.
Nope, Pat Knight isnt his father.
But when Pat Knight took over
for his father on Feb. 5, after Bob
Knight resigned, people couldnt
help but compare father and son.
Oklahoma State coach Sean
Sutton knows what its like to take
over for your dad. He replaced his
father, Eddie, at Oklahoma State
during the 2005-2006 season. So
when the phone rang, and Pat
Knight was on the other line, Sean
Sutton offered some helpful advice.
I just talked to him a lot about,
You got to be yourself, you cant
worry about the comparisons
people are going to make between
you and your dad, Sutton recalled
saying to Knight. You got to be
Pat Knight. Theres only one Bob
Knight. You got to understand
that.
Pat will take his fathers seat
on the bench tonight at Allen
Fieldhouse. Hes two days removed
from the biggest victory of his
young coaching career an 83-
80 upset victory against Texas in
Lubbock, Texas.
He didnt always plan to take
over for his dad, Knight says.
But when Knight moved to
Lubbock seven years ago to join his
dads coaching staff, the town, the
people, it all felt too comfortable.
I loved the University, and I
think we can really keep building
on something special here, Knight
said. Thats
what changed
my mind,
Knight and
Sutton arent
the only sons
who have taken
over a program
from their
dad. In fact,
its happening
quite regularly.
Tony Bennett
replaced his
father, Dick, at Washington State.
Keno Davis replaced his father,
Tom, at Drake. Both Bennett and
Davis have their teams in the Top
25 polls this season.
Knight said he knew there would
be critics. People screamed nepo-
tism that Knight was only there
because of his dad. Knight didnt
worry about those people.
I thought, Why should I worry
about what people think? Knight
said.
Knight said he talked regularly
with Sutton. Sometimes he asks
him questions about succeeding his
father. Other times, they just talk
basketball.
I kid Sean. I tell him hes my
Yoda, and Im his Luke Skywalker,
Knight said. Hes my Jedi-master
to get all the information.
He also still talks with his father.
Hes around, Knight said. Hes
always going to be a sounding
board for myself.
Knight is
4-3 in this sea-
son. The Red
Raiders are
young, small
and gritty.
Knight said
he could have
taken a differ-
ent rout. He
could have gone
to a smaller
school, become
a head coach
and worked his way up the coach-
ing ladder. That rout would have
been safer, but he said he was ready
for this challenge.
How many guys at 37 would
love to be a Big 12 coach? Knight
asked. I just dont think I would
have been able to live with myself
if I would have taken a different
route.

Kansas miserable road form
caught up to it once again Saturday
afternoon against Iowa State. Down
two at the half, the Jayhawks shot 29
percent after the break to fall 51-42
and drop to 4-11 in the Big 12.
With the loss, Kansas finished
winless on the road during Big 12
Conference play and is effectively
eliminated from NCAA Tournament
consideration. After winning 11 of
13 games during a difficult non-con-
ference schedule, the teams inability
to win on the road derailed what
looked to be a breakthrough season.
Asked if she had envisioned her
team losing all eight conference road
contests before Big 12 play began,
coach Bonnie Henrickson said she
may have just stayed at home.
I would have taken a sabbatical,
she said jokingly.
Kansas ineptitude away from
Allen Fieldhouse has remained con-
stant since Big 12 play began in
January with one central contribut-
ing factor, failure to protect the ball.
The Jayhawks tendency to beat
themselves probably decided the
outcome of the game only three
minutes into the second half against
the Cyclones. Two Kansas turnovers
allowed Iowa State to jump to a 29-
18 lead by virtue of a 9-0 run.
While disappointing, the flat
beginning to the second period was
hardly surprising. Kansas has been
outscored on the road in the second
half in every game but one.
Right now, we are a team that
doesnt go to the NCAA Tournament
because we cant play six minutes
out of the locker room, Henrickson
said.
Through 15 conference games,
the Hawks are averaging more than
three more turnovers per game than
their opponents. Kansas is last in the
Big 12 in turnovers per game at 20.1
and also boasts the worst assist to
turnover ratio.
On the road, Henricksons team
is even worse. Kansas recorded two
games with at least 25 turnovers, 27
at Colorado and 25 at Oklahoma,
and failed to register a game of less
than 17 giveaways.
Its not an undiagnosed problem.
Henrickson and her staff have con-
stantly preached the importance of
limiting wasted possessions, but the
Jayhawks have yet to find a way to
accomplish that. The teams three
primary ball handlers, junior guard
Ivana Catic and sophomore guards
Danielle McCray and Sade Morris,
simply havent been able to offset the
cost of turnovers with assists away
from Allen Fieldhouse.
At home the three combine to
average 7.6 assists and 9.7 turnovers.
Although turnovers only rise to 9.8
away from Lawrence, the trios assist
totals plummet to 4.2.
Despite her teams struggles,
Henrickson said she had no doubt
that Kansas had the players to suc-
ceed. She said that her team just
hadnt yet shown the growth needed
to succeed night in and night out in
the Big 12.
Youve got to have some tough-
ness, some character, and players
have got to step up and make plays,
Henrickson said. We just havent
done that consistently.

sports 9b monday, march 3, 2008
senior forward Taylor McIntosh
said. We forced them into tough
twos, and then Id come over to help
at the end of the shot clock, and they
called a foul.
We had a couple plays like that
where we had it, but its just the last
two or three sec-
onds.
The most
important play of
the game came
with 4:13 left and
Kansas trailing
41-36, the closest
itd been since one minute into the
second half.
Sophomore guard Danielle
McCray just hit a jump shot, forc-
ing Iowa State to use a time-out,
and the Jayhawks played suffocating
defense out of the break. That is until
Cyclone guard Alison Lacey hit a
fadeaway jumper with one tick left
on the shot clock.
The Hilton Coliseum crowd
lulled to sleep by Kansas 6-0 run
erupted, and Lacey went to the
free-throw line to push the lead back
to eight thanks to a McIntosh foul
on the play.
Kansas (15-13, 4-11) never recov-
ered from that play.
We lost focus and fouled on a
shot that (lets) them make that
shot but (doesnt) let them make it
and let the crowd get excited about
it, coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
We needed the discipline for 30 sec-
onds, not 29, and there was a couple
of times we had it for 29 but that last
second got us.
The first half
was a defensive
grind with each
team shooting a
paltry 30 percent.
Iowa State (18-10,
7-8) led by two at
halftime, then - like all of Kansas
recent opponents - it went on a big
run to start the second half.
The Cyclones used a 15-3 run
during the first nine minutes of the
second half to push the score to 35-
21. Lacey, guard Kelsey Bolte and
forward Jocelyn Anderson had all
15 of those points, and the trio com-
bined to score 30 of the Cyclones 31
second-half points.
What locker we left (our
game) in at halftime, I dont know,
Henrickson said. Thats where we
lose the basketball game is the first
three or four minutes.
McCray was sidelined with foul
trouble for much of the first half, but
until the 9:40 mark in the second
half, she still had as many fouls, two,
as points.
Henrickson credits that to the
Cyclones diamond-and-one defense,
a junk formation that ensured
McCray wouldnt get an open look.
McCray finished with a season low-
tying six points, only the third time
all year shes been held to single digit
scoring.
However, Iowa States attention to
McCray did open things up down
low where McIntosh had her second
best game of the year with 15 points,
16 rebounds, three steals and a block.
Kansas would have benefited greatly
from an inside duo, but freshman
center Krysten Boogaard still hasnt
snapped out of her funk and was
held scoreless.
Taylor went 6-for-8, and we
needed to get it to her 18 times,
Henrickson said. She had to get
more touches on a night when
Krysten really struggled.
There were several bad Kansas
stats after the game, (0-for-8 on
three-pointers, three assists to 17
turnovers) but the most disappoint-
ing one came from missed oppor-
tunities. The Jayhawks pulled down
17 offensive rebounds and could
only convert that into nine second-
chance points.
Great effort; thats Taylor
McIntosh flying around, Henrickson
said of the rebounds. Ive been fuss-
ing at her, and fussing and fussing
thats what we need, and she does
that, but we dont have enough other
kids step up.
Kansas plays its final regular
season game of the year at home
Wednesday night against No. 21
Kansas State.

student singers
The Kansas City Symphony
Chorus sang a beautiful rendition
of the Star Spangled Banner but
proceeded to butcher the Alma
Mater. About halfway through,
those in the student section recog-
nized that the choir was going too
slow and did what any respectable
Jayhawk fans would have done.
They drowned out the choir, and
sang the alma mater at the right
tempo.

Say what you want about Dick
Vitale, but it was great to have him
back at Allen Fieldhouse on Satur-
day. Sure, his incessant blathering
about Duke and North Carolina
is annoying, but Vitale is a great
ambassador for the college game.
When Vitale spent two months
earlier this season recovering
from throat surgery, he was sorely
missed.

kansas zone
Bill Self said on Friday that
Kansas wasnt a zone team. He
was right. Kansas went to a zone
defense at times against K-State,
and the results werent great. The
Wildcats were able to penetrate
Kansas zone with relative ease. Self
did say the zone defense allowed
Kansas to play through foul trouble
in the second half.
wildcats rebounding
Somebody teach K-State to
box out. The Wildcats defensive
rebounding was atrocious. Kansas
piled up a season-high 23 ofensive
rebounds the most since the Jay-
hawks grabbed 23 ofensive boards
against Dartmouth on Nov. 28, 2006.

Kansas State freshman Michael
Beasley sat quietly outside of the
Wildcats locker room on Saturday
night. Munching on a bag of potato
chips, the freshman All-American
tried to hold back his frustration.
We laid down, Beasley said, after
the Wildcats 88-74 loss.
Beasley may be wondering what
else he can do.
His first trip to Allen Fieldhouse
was a 31-minute display of basket-
ball brilliance.
Too bad Kansas State sure knows
how to waste brilliance. In fact, the
Wildcats are making a habit of it.
As a whole, we just werent there
energy wise, intensity wise. Beasley
said, after scoring 39 points and
grabbing 11 rebounds.
In K-States biggest game of the
season, the Wildcats leading man
showed up. The problem for K-State:
its other 10 players didnt.
We have to help him, K-State
senior guard Clent Stewart said. He
is going out and doing what he has to
do to win and we have to help him.
Stewart had just six points on 2-
of-7 shooting.
The rest of the Wildcats werent
much help Saturday, either. The
other 10 players who played couldnt
even match Beasleys 39 points, scor-
ing a combined 35 points on 12-of-
33 shooting.
Freshman Bill Walker and Jacob
Pullen, two players who combined
for 44 points in K-States upset vic-
tory against Kansas on Jan. 30, com-
bined for just 12 on Saturday.
Kansas guards didnt overlook
Pullen this time. Russell Robinson
and Mario Chalmers corralled K-
States freshman point-guard, hold-
ing him to three points and pressur-
ing him into three turnovers.
Kansas derailed Walker, as well.
Clearly frustrated, Walker played
just eight minutes in the first half
because of foul trouble and spent
most of the second half on the bench.
He finished with nine points; seven
of those, though, came in the closing
minutes with the games outcome no
longer in doubt.
There aint nothing going on
with him. He aint playing. Beasley
said. He sat most of the game. He
still gave us productive minutes. Hes
playing as hard as he can.
With his teammates performing
poorly, Beasley had to be a one-man
army. Despite picking up two fouls in
the opening minutes, Beasley showed-
off his NBA-caliber game at times,
making it look too easy.
His sweet left-handed stroke, his
Venus flytrap hands, his powerful
upper bodythey were all on dis-
play.
Beasley recorded his 25th double-
double of the season, tying Kansas
Drew Gooden for the Big 12 record.
He may not win National Player
of the Year, Kansas coach Bill Self
said. But hands down hes the best
in the country.
For 31 minutes, Beasley imposed
his will on the Jayhawk defense. But
for all his talent and athleticism, the
National Player of the Year candidate
never controlled the game.
It was a quiet 39 if you ask me,
Robinson said.
The outcome continued an alarm-
ing trend for K-State. Beasley is aver-
aging 37.6 points per game during
the Wildcats past three games, but
K-State still lost all three. Saturday
continued the same trend. Beasley
delighted, K-State lost.
With a sellout crowd of 16,300
fans watching, Beasley was the best
player on the floor Saturday night.
But Kansas was clearly the best
team.
They played with a chip on
their shoulders, Beasley said of the
Jayhawks. They played with a ven-
geance.
Finishing his bag of chips, Beasley
wiped his greasy fingers on his pants.
His 39-points tied for the fourth
most by any opponent in 53-year
history of Allen Fieldhouse were
wasted.
We just had no will to win,
Beasley said.
