Student Senate will vote tonight on paying
for $75,000 of KJHKs move to the Kansas
Union.
KJHK, the student-run campus radio sta-
tion, is located in the Sudler Annex com-
monly called the shack a building near
JRP Hall. The University gave KJHK until
Fall 2009 to move out of the building. The
Sudler Annex was donated to the University
in 1929 and does not meet current building
codes, including handicap accessibility.
KJHK has proposed a move to the third
floor of the Kansas Union, which would be a
$245,200 remodel project. The alcoves next
to the FedEx Kinkos center would be remod-
eled into a studio and production center for
the radio station.
KJHK plans to contribute $100,000 of
its own money, and the Kansas Union will
pay for $20,000 of the project. The station is
asking Student Senate for $75,000 from the
Student Senate Reserve Account, which has
almost $360,000. The account is made up of
money from previous years that isnt spent.
The station hopes to raise the remaining
$50,200.
Danielle Basci, Houston senior and sta-
tion manager, said the building was too old
for the station. She is one of more than 140
students involved with the radio station,
which has 3,260 listeners daily.
We always joke that its about to fall off
that hill, Basci said.
Tom Johnson, general manager and pro-
gram director at KJHK, said the station
needed to be updated and made more visible
to the campus population. Right now, KJHK
broadcasts from the shack, produces in the
Dole Human Development Center and has a
business office in the Kansas Union. Johnson
said the distance between the different parts
of the station made it difficult to operate
cohesively.
I think its really hard for KJHK to show
students how many opportunities it offers,
Johnson said.
Basci said the station was working on
raising the remaining money by looking for
support from local businesses. She said the
station would also hold a donation drive on
the air if necessary. She said the move would
give the station more of a presence on cam-
pus and attract more students like her. Basci,
an art history major, stumbled on the station
while driving around. Basci now plans to
work in radio after graduation thanks to her
experience working for KJHK.
Johnson said Senate wouldnt be giving
money to the station and its workers with no
return. In exchange for the $75,000, KJHK
will offer 70 campus groups 24 free adver-
tisements a year for the next eight years, time
that would cost normal advertisers $80,640.
Currently the station can broadcast public
service announcements about groups, but it
doesnt advertise events.
Johnson said the station couldnt offer
free advertising to student groups promot-
ing events that generate revenue because
of a Federal Communications Commission
policy that says groups must pay for that
kind of advertisement.
Sam Schlageck, Manhattan senior and
fine arts senator, was involved in writing
the bill. He said the exchange of advertising
time would make the offer appeal to other
senators.
Thats what sweetens the deal for us,
Schlageck said. It makes this legislation a lot
easier to pass.
Schlageck said he got involved with the
project after being appointed as a Senate rep-
resentative to the KJHK Advisory Board and
he eventually helped write the legislation.
Schlageck said senators should like the bill
because the Reserve Account money often
goes unused.
The bill to fund KJHK went to Senate
committees last semester. A bill must be
seen and passed by two committees before
it can be voted on at full Senate. Schlageck
said the bill passed in the Student Rights
Committee but failed in Finance Committee
because members felt like they didnt have
enough information. Last week the finance
committee passed the bill because the station
provided more information about how the
$75,000 would be spent.
If Senate doesnt approve the $75,000
tonight, Johnson said it would prolong the
stations time in Sudler Annex. The sta-
tion would eventually have to move anyway
because of buidling codes. He said the group
was creative by nature and would just have to
raise the money.

A step up from the shack
Jessie Fetterling/KANSAN
The KJHK shack, located on 11th Street, is an old building that no longer adequately fts the needs for the student radio station. The building doesnt meet building codes and barely
has space for the numerous CDs and albums that the station owns.
The University has given KJHK until fall 2009 to relocate their station because the studio does not meet building codes.
The station is asking Student Senate to contribute $75,000 to the proposed $245,200 remodel project in the Kansas Union.
The money would come fromthe Student Senate Reserve Account, which has nearly $360,000.

the wording was ambiguous. The AP&P will

The KU Parking Commission wants
to drop the price of a Park and Ride per-
mit from $205 to $100, while increasing
the prices of most other permits by $30.
If approved by KU Provost Richard

Odd News
Police ofcers refuse to pay
speeding tickets
ROCKVILLE, Md. No matter
what the cameras say, some drivers
are refusing to pay dozens of $40
speeding fnes.
Who? Police ofcers.
In the last eight months of
2007, Montgomery Countys new
speed cameras recorded 224 cases
in which police vehicles were
recorded traveling more than 10
mph over the speed limit, accord-
ing to department records.
Supervisors dismissed 76 of
those citations after determining
the ofcers were responding to
calls or had valid reasons to break
the speed limit.
But that left 148 who didnt
have that excuse, and about two-
thirds of those citations havent
been paid, said police Lt. Paul
Starks.
The police union says ofcers
shouldnt pay because the cita-
tions are issued to the owner of a
vehicle, in this case the county.
Police Chief Thomas Manger
doesnt buy that argument.
We are not above the law,
Manger said. It is imperative that
the police department hold itself
to the same standards that were
holding the public to.
Telemarketers appropriate
number from 80s hit song
WILMINGTON, Del. Someone
with a little knowledge of musical
golden oldies is jangling nerves in
Delaware.
Some people getting late night
and early morning telemarketing
calls in the Wilmington area have
been doing a double take when
they see the number on their caller
ID: 867-5309. Thats part of the title
of a 1980s hit 867-5309/Jenny
by the band Tommy Tutone.
Lindsey Vitalo of Pike Creek got
one of the calls at 4:20 a.m. Sun-
day. She answered, fearing the call
was about a family emergency, but
got a mortgage refnancing pitch.
At least two other people have
told The (Wilmington) News-Jour-
nal about similar calls.
They havent been able to call
back to protest, because there is
no 867-5309 in Delawares area
code.
Men get vasectomies to stay
home for March Madness
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. For guys
who park in front of the TV during
college basketballs March Mad-
ness, the Oregon Urology Institute
has a suggestion: Why not use that
time to recover from a vasectomy?
When March Madness ap-
proaches you need an excuse ...
to stay at home in front of the big
screen,the clinics radio ad says.
Get your vasectomy at Oregon
Urology Institute the day before the
tournament starts. Its snip city.
Institute Administrator Terry
FitzPatrick said men need two to
four days to recover from the pro-
cedure but not all take the time.
Hes reserved a dozen appoint-
ment slots for March 19, the day
before the frst tipofs of the NCAA
Tournament, and another dozen
for March 26, before the tourna-
ments second week.
The sports radio station broad-
casting the clinics ads promises to
send each patient a recovery kit of
sports magazines, free pizza deliv-
ery and a bag of frozen peas.
The frozen peas are malleable
enough that you can get them
right in there and get the swelling
down, FitzPatrick said.

Democratic primaries
Obama predictably wins in Mississippi
AssOCIATed PRess
JACKSON, Miss. Barack Obama
coasted to victory in Mississippis
Democratic primary Tuesday, the
latest in a string of racially polar-
ized presidential contests across
the Deep South and a final tune-
up before next months high-stakes
race with Hillary Rodham Clinton
in Pennsylvania.
Obama was winning roughly 90
percent of the black vote but only
about one-quarter of the white vote,
extending a pattern that carried him
to victory in earlier primaries in
South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia
and Louisiana.
His triumph was widely expect-
ed, and seemed destined to do
nothing to shorten a Democratic
marathon expected to last at least
six more weeks and possibly far
longer while Republicans and
their nominee-in-waiting, Sen. John
McCain, turn their attention to the
fall campaign.
Obama picked up at least
six Mississippi delegates to the
Democratic National Convention,
with 27 more to be awarded. He
hoped for a win sizable enough to
erase most if not all of Clintons 11-
delegate gain from last week, when
she won three primaries.
Obama began the night with
1,579 delegates, to 1,473 for Clinton.
It takes 2,025 to win the nomina-
tion.
Neither of the two rivals appears
able to win enough delegates through
primaries and caucuses to prevail in
their historic race for the nomina-
tion, a development that has elevated
the importance of nearly 800 elected
officials and party leaders who will
attend next summers national con-
vention as unelected superdelegates.
Obama leads Clinton among
pledged delegates, 1,368-1,226 in
The Associated Press count, while
the former first lady has an advan-
tage among superdelegates, 247-211.
Returns from the first few pre-
cincts to report showed Obama
gaining 60 percent of the vote, to 38
percent for Clinton.
There was little suspense about
the Mississippi outcome, and
both Clinton and Obama spent
part of their day campaigning in
Pennsylvania, which has 158 del-
egates at stake in a primary on
April 22.
The volatile issue of race has
been a constant presence in the
historic Democratic campaign, and
it resurfaced during the day in the
form of comments by Geraldine
Ferraro, the 1984 Democratic vice
presidential candidate and a Clinton
supporter.
If Obama was a white man, he
would not be in this position. And
if he was a woman (of any color)
he would not be in this position.
He happens to be very lucky to be
who he is. And the country is caught
up in the concept, she said in an
interview with the Daily Breeze of
Torrance, Calif., that was published
last Friday.
Clinton expressed disagreement
with Ferraros comments, and said,
Its regrettable that any of our sup-
porters on both sides, because
we both have this experience say
things that kind of veer off into the
personal.
Obama called Ferraros remarks
patently absurd.
Adding to the uncertainty in the
lengthening race between Obama
and Clinton, Democrats from
Florida and Michigan are pressing
for their delegations to be seated at
the summer convention.
Both states were stripped of
their delegates by the Democratic
National Committee after they held
early primaries in defiance of party
rules. But efforts are under way to
find a compromise that would satisfy
party leaders in both states as well
as the candidates, possibly through
primaries-by-mail.

The Natural History Museum
will bridge the gap between sci-
ence and art this year by featuring
its first ever art gallery.
Beginning in August, the gal-
lery will decorate four floors of
the museums main stairwell. The
project, spearheaded by the muse-
ums Student Advisory Board, will
feature students and local artists
representations of a different topic
in science every six months.
Thomas Hardy, Salina senior
and president of the board, said
the exhibits first topic, biodiver-
sity, would engage the museums
50,000 annual visitors in a new
way.
One of the exhibits goals, Hardy
said, would be to spark the cre-
ative aspects of museum visitors
brains.
Its fine and dandy to have a
natural history museum and an art
museum, but how cool would it be
to mix the two? he said.
That idea resonated with Tristan
Smith, visitor service coordinator
for the museum and Biodiversity
Research Center.
Smith developed the idea for the
exhibit out of a desire to encourage
a dialogue among visitors that goes
beyond science.
We want to bring in a different
crowd, Smith said. Its more of an
outreach to get people who arent
normally interested in science, but
in art.
Katie Oberthaler, Wichita
sophomore and vice president of
the board, said art for the gallery
would be selected based on its
visual appeal and relevance to the
exhibits theme.
She said submissions for the
gallerys first six-month rotation
could depict almost anything
related to biodiversity, including
global warming and water use.
Hardy said the art could also
be in any form, including paint-
ings, photography and videos, as
long as each piece fits require-
ments specified in the Call for
Artists sheet available at the
Museum.
We want stuff thats really
challenging and gets at the core
of modern art breaking con-
ventions and playing with ideas,
he said.
The museums main stairwell
is currently being repainted and
fitted with new lights to accom-
modate the gallery, which will
occupy more space than many of
the museums existing exhibits,
Hardy said.
The Student Advisory Board
also plans to provide a $50 hono-
rarium for the artists whose work
is selected for the gallery. Art sub-
missions are due on May 15 and
selections will be announced on
June 1.

More than 45 years after Moses
Gunn first arrived at the University
of Kansas as a graduate theater
student, memorabilia from his
30-year acting career have found a
home on campus.
In late January, more than 20
boxes full of framed posters, awards,
photographs and sculptures arrived
at the department of theatre and
film from Moses widow, Gwen. She
said Moses had cataloged memora-
bilia from his career until his death
in 1993, but the collection sat in
her attic until she was able to find
a suitable location. Gwen said her
husband had always intended to
donate it to either the University or
Tennessee State, where he complet-
ed his undergraduate degree. The
University received more than 80
items from Gwen.
Its good to
have it have a
home at last, she
said.
The depart-
ment is catalogu-
ing the collection
and planning
an exhibit at the
Spencer Museum
of Art in February
of next year dur-
ing Black History
Month. The department is also look-
ing for a permanent home for Gunns
collection at Murphy Hall following
the exhibit.
Gunn first attended the University
from 1959 to 1961, completing all
but his thesis for a masters degree
in theater before leaving to pursue a
professional acting career. His career
included performances in Roots,
The NeverEnding Story, Little
House on the Prairie and Fool
in Love. Moses won two NAACP
Image Awards, an Emmy Award
nomination and helped found the
Negro Ensemble Company.
Gwen said her husband always
regretted the way his studies ended
and urged
young people
interested in
theater to con-
sider the ben-
efits of second-
ary education.
He would
be so happy
to know about
this because
during his
whole life he
was so encour-
aging to young people in theater,
she said. After he was here and hav-
ing success, he would always encour-
age students to go to college.
After an award-winning career,
Moses returned to the University in
1989 with the help of former pro-
fessor Bill Kuhlke to complete his
degree. Kuhlke said he taught Moses
during his first stint at the University,
and the two had remained friends
throughout the 30 years that fol-
lowed.
Though Moses had inquired about
completing his degree before return-
ing in 1989, Kuhlke said previous
requirements would have demanded
he complete his thesis. Changes in
curriculum allowed Moses to earn
his degree through his professional
contributions, a series of lectures
and a performance alongside Kuhlke
in a University Theatre production
of Im Not Rappaport. The con-
tributions allowed Moses to avoid
receiving an honorary degree, some-
thing his widow said never appealed
to him.
Kuhlke said Moses would be
remembered for his accomplish-
ments in the theater and, specifically,
the ground he broke for African-
American actors within the profes-
sion. But most of all, he said Moses
legacy was his powerful presence
on stage and the effect he had on
the audience and those who worked
with him.
Moses had a kind of dynamism
and what you might call a grip as
an actor, he said. When you are
on stage with him, the relationship
between the two of you creates a
kind of vortex that just sucks you
into the scene.

Olathe attorneys to investigate Morrison
BY MARGARET STAFFORD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Two attor-
neys from Olathe were appointed
Tuesday to investigate whether for-
mer Attorney General Paul Morrison
committed criminal misconduct
while carrying on an affair with a
subordinate.
Johnson County District Attorney
Phill Kline appointed Robert E.
Arnold III and Timothy E. Keck,
who are partners in an Olathe law
firm, to examine Morrisons conduct
during an extramarital affair he had
with Linda Carter.
Carter has said the affair began
while she worked for Morrison in
the Johnson County district attor-
neys office and continued after he
was elected attorney general. She has
accused Morrison of trying to use
her to influence a federal lawsuit filed
against Kline by eight workers Kline
fired after taking over as Johnson
County district attorney. She also has
said Morrison tried to get informa-
tion from her about Klines activities.
Carter also has filed a discrimi-
nation claim against Morrison with
the federal Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission.
Morrison resigned in January
after acknowledging the affair, but
has denied Carters allegations of
misconduct.
The Johnson County Commission
gave Kline $25,000 to hire the pros-
ecutors. The two men will begin the
investigation right away, but have
no timeline for completing it, Keck
said. I dont know anything about
the case except whats been reported
in the media, Keck said. We have a
file of information, well go through
that and see where the evidence
takes us.

Madonna inducted into
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
NEW YORK Madonna, pop
musics quick-change artist, was
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame on Monday and paid tribute
to people who encouraged her and
even critics who panned her for
helping drive her career. Madonna
recalled a teacher who encouraged
her to follow her dreams when she
was only 14.
Thirty-fve years later, people are
still encouraging me to believe in my
dreams,she said at the induction
ceremony. What more could I ask
for?Even the people who said I was
talentless, that I was chubby, that
I couldnt sing, that I was a one-hit
wonder, they helped me, too,she
said. They inspired me because they
made me question myself repeat-
edly and pushed me to be better.
Madonna didnt perform but
asked punk rockers Iggy Pop and
the Stooges to sing Burning Upand
Ray of Light.

A couple weeks back, the mili-
tary launched a missile into space
to destroy an aging weather satellite.
While many world leaders viewed
this aggressive decision as a mili-
tary statement to China, hence flex-
ing our muscles (via missile) and
exploring our military capabilities
(by exploding), I saw what was really
going on here. The whole scheme is
an elaborate tune-up.
A tune-up for Americas eventual
mission blowing up the moon.
Ive thought about the concept
of moon destruction before, and
frankly, Im all for it. Heck, my
audition column to get a position
on the Kansan was about this very
topic. The only reason you havent
seen it is because the idea was stifled
by my viewing of an old Mr. Show
clip where they farcically advocated
blowing up the moon.
Naturally, I sued the producers
for traveling through time and steal-
ing my idea. The case never gained
much leverage. But given recent cur-
rent events, my opinions have been
resurrected.
Good reasons exist to nuke the
moon, and most of them will bring
mirth to adults and students alike.
Why nuke the moon? We dont
need it. Simply put, its mans ulti-
mate menace. Constantly looming,
haranguing our attempts at great-
ness, providing scant reflective light
but not enough to save us money on
light bulbs, the moon needs to go.
We already blew a weather satellite
out of the sky, and isnt the moon just
Earths most elderly satellite, devoid
of any real function?
Sure, the entire country trembled
at the edges of their LA-Z-BOYS
when Neil Armstrong first strut-
ted across the moons dusty surface.
Subsequent trips were also revela-
tory, specifically about the nature of
the moon and its terrain.
However, we got bored with it.
Once, astronauts even brought golf
clubs and a moon cart up there and
worked on their short game.
The moonthe galaxys easiest
hole-in-one!
If obliterating the moon isnt excit-
ing enough, we could easily enhance
the whole project with Americas
most across-the-board passion
fireworks.
If my assumptions are correct,
and they usually are, considering my
mind works through only the most
logical and efficient processes, it
would be easy to embark on several
prerequisite trips to fill the moons
craters up with Black Cats, Smoke
Bombs and those annoying tanks
that look like theyll do something
cool, really, but will just flame out
in about two seconds. That would
make an already awesome explosion
extra astounding.
Now, I know the conservatives
out there are going to raise a big
hullabaloo about my proposal. But I
can defend this idea on an economic
basis as well. I am an economics
major. Yeah, thats right. Im legit.
In my economics coursework, we
have often discussed the concept
of a positive externality, or a ben-
efit received from a good, product,
or service that is not reflected in
the price of the good. Since every-
one around the globe would see the
destruction of the moon for free,
nuking the moon symbolizes the
epitome of a positive externality.
So when would I propose to do
this?
July 4, the greatest day in
American (and therefore world) his-
tory. You saw Independence Day,
right? Now youre with me.
The moon has always been infe-
rior to the sun, the New York Mets of
the cosmos. Lets give it one last hur-
rah, a way of celebrating how many
times it has ruined our depth percep-
tion, brought in hordes of jellyfish to
beaches during vacation and watched
us taking a shower (the moon is the
universes most notorious peeping
Tom).
Well figure something out to
replace its minimal presence in
our lives, possibly a new washing
machine, a new throw rug or maybe
just a candle.
Candles smell better anyway.

Im a pretty clean guy, and when
I say clean, I mean all-around clean.
You could take it in a hygiene sense.
I shower daily. Or a sexual sense. Im
STD free. Or even that I dont like
clutter in my kitchen. Im tempted
to break my cleanliness for a month
however, all because of one ridicu-
lous challengethe T-shirt chal-
lenge.
My friends invited me to try this
with them, and Im not quite sure if
I can commit.
The T-shirt challenge bears a
striking resemblance to the pants
challenge, where participants wear
one pair of their own pants every
day for a month without washing
them. On the last day, everyone
trades pants with someone else and
goes through a day awkwardly apol-
ogizing for someone elses stench
emitting from their trousers. This is
what the T-shirt challenge is, except
everywhere the word pants appears
above, you just replace with T-shirt.
Were all in college; college is full
of one-month challenges (note: see
no-shave November) so this should
be easy enough.
Ive been mulling this opportuni-
ty of utter griminess for a few weeks
now, weighing the pros and cons.
The pros being that I wouldnt
have to wash any shirts for a
month.
The cons being that Id lose all
female interest in my life, catch a
nasty rash (Im assuming), stink to
high heavens, possibly lose my job
and probably get sexually accosted
by a number of wild and domesti-
cated animals, including Baby Jay.
Baby Jay cant resist this musk.
For some odd reason, I cant seem
to shake the idea that doing this chal-
lenge could be a good time. When in
my life will I have the opportunity to
wear the same T-shirt for a month
without washing it?
When Im homeless?
All logic has eluded me.
Ive got one major worry, though.
I sweat. I sweat a lot. I sweat so
much that when I take in clothes to
Goodwill they say, Uh we cant take
these. And I usually respond, why
not? as Im holding up a shirt that
is as stiff as a saltine cracker. I ruin
shirts, so Im thinking Id ruin the
gladiator of a G=T-shirt Id wear for
a month in, oh, about three days.
Also, in the rulebook for the
T-shirt challenge nothing is men-
tioned about what can be worn if
youd like to go to the gym. Or what
can be worn to a funeral or wed-
ding. I suppose layering is always an
option, but I fear my shirt will be so
putrid that attendees may fear that
the corpse is rotting when really its
just my sad, sad T-shirt.
If youre at all interested in the
T-shirt challenge, take part in it
from April 1 to April 30. This article
is published in advance because this
takes planning. A participant must
choose the right T-shirt, the one
that could last a month, and the
right deodorant as well.
Just dont forget that, on the last
day, you have to switch with some-
one else whos been wearing the
same T-shirt for a month, too. Just
watch out for that rash.

Commentary
Bored in April? No sweat,
take the T-shirt challenge
I witnessed something I never
should have this Monday afternoon.
I was in Fraser Hall around 1
p.m., waiting for my next class to
start. Another class let out, and as
the students left and the new class
began, a professor pulled a student
aside, and started speaking to her.
The professor started berating
her for an assignment. The professor
claimed it was plagiarized and that
she was only giving her half credit
for the assignment, and then con-
tinued to explain that this was illegal
and that she was lucky to get the
grade she did. She was condescend-
ing and at times just plain rude.
This went on for a good 20 min-
utes. The student seemed to handle
it remarkably well. In the end, she
said, Youre the teacher. Im just a
student.
She may be a student, but shes
still entitled to certain rights.
Like the right to privacy.
I dont know whether the student
actually plagiarized the assignment.
I dont care, either. I care about
the fact that the professor had the
nerve to take her into a public place,
and share the conversation with the
world.
This is what office hours are for:
to allow students to discuss prob-
lems with their professors privately.
To prevent students from having
to share their humiliation with
other people.
I applaud the student for
remaining as calm as she did. I
would not have.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
Endeavours seven astronauts
jumped into their first full day in
orbit Tuesday as the shuttle pursued
the international space station to
deliver a giant robot and the first
piece of a new Japanese lab.
In a rare middle-of-the-night
launch, the shuttle blasted off with
an almost blinding flash. But the
darkness meant fewer pictures than
usual to look for signs of possible
damage to the spacecraft during the
climb to orbit.
NASA knew the nighttime launch
would come at a photographic cost.
But past successes at preventing
the shuttles fuel tank from los-
ing big chunks of foam insulation
during liftoff and the accuracy of
heat shield inspections convinced
managers the night launch was a
good choice.
A new photographic flash system
embedded in a cavity in Endeavours
belly helped illuminate the external
fuel tank as it dropped away, empty,
eight minutes into the flight.
Cameras captured only one
significant piece of foam or other
debris coming off Endeavours tank,
just more than a minute into the
flight. It appeared to miss the right
wing.
To be certain of that and to
check for other possible damage,
Endeavours astronauts geared up
for a slow-motion laser inspection
late Tuesday of the shuttle wings
and nose, the most vulnerable areas.
The inspection has been standard
procedure ever since the 2003
Columbia disaster in which seven
astronauts died.
It was the first major chore of
the 16-day flight, the longest space
station mission ever planned for a
shuttle.
We had an exciting trip to orbit
... and were looking forward to
our first full day in orbit, astro-
naut Michael Foreman told Mission
Control after waking up in the late
afternoon.
The three space station residents
had to drastically shift their work
and sleep hours in order to synch
up their schedule with that of the
shuttle crew, due to arrive at the
orbiting outpost late tonight.
Id say good morning, but I dont
know what time of day it is, the
space stations commander, Peggy
Whitson, told flight controllers late
Tuesday afternoon. She said she and
her crewmates were feeling fine, but
added: Well see how we do at the
end of the day.
The 10 space travelers face a stag-
gering amount of work once their
spacecraft link up. Five spacewalks
are planned during Endeavours
visit, the first one getting under way
Thursday night.
The spacewalking teams must
assemble Canadas robot, Dextre,
which was packed aboard Endeavour
in nine pieces, and attach a Japanese
storage compartment to the space
station. It is the first installment
of Japans massive Kibo lab, which
means Hope.

Jun Kuribayashis sore muscles
tell a story.
Every day youre injured,
Kuribayashi said last Thursday.
Kuribayashi, a Lawrence native
and KU alumnus, had just left
an early morning massage in
Florida therapy for his aching
body. But Kuribayashi has learned
to cope with the pain. Mostly,
because he has to. When youre
a member of Pilobolus, an inter-
nationally-known dance company
from Connecticut, a little bodily
discomfort comes with the ter-
ritory.
The pain might be easier
for Kuribayashi to handle on
Wednesday. Pilobolus, known for
its exaggerated body contortions
and physical interaction between
performers, presents a five-piece
program tonight at 7:30 at the Lied
Center. That means Kuribayashi,
who graduated from Lawrence
High School in 1997, gets the
opportunity to return home.
I wish we could do this every
year, Kuribayashi said. Im sad
that Im only there on a Wednesday,
just one night to perform.
Lawrence is a special place
to Kuribayashi. His mother still
teaches piano here. He met his
wife, Casey, here. This is where
Kuribayashi began the dancing
journey that has taken him all
around the world.
In 2000, Kuribayashi was tak-
ing time off school and practic-
ing Capoeira, a Brazilian mix of
martial arts and dance. He was
a staple in the Lawrence break-
dancing circles, showing off his
moves at Lawrence clubs such as
the Granada.
One night a friend spotted
Kuribayashi and asked him to do
a demonstration of Capoeira in a
University of Kansas world dance
class.
Watching the day Kuribayashi
gave the demonstration was Joan
Stone, former department of
music and dance director.
Stone saw a little talent and
asked Kuribayashi if hed ever con-
sider enrolling in the department.
I was just working,
Kuribayashi said. Just taking time
off of school, so I said, Sure, Id
love to come dance.
Kuribayashi spent his child-
hood playing soccer, swimming
and practicing gymnastics.
Kuribayashi said dancing just
seemed like a natural progression.
It was just another way to stay
active and have fun and be around
beautiful ladies.
Well, it was for a while, at
least.
Professor of dance Janet
Hamburg watched as the new kid
in the department turned heads.
It took him a while to find his
passion, Hamburg said.
Once he did, Kuribayashis
dance career took off.
He had a natural fluidity of
movement, Hamburg said. He
learned much more quickly
because of that.
After nearly four years in the
department, Kuribayashi had pro-
gressed so much that Hamburg
sent him a notice about an audi-
tion in August 2004. Pilobolus, the
unique dance company with the
funky choreography, was holding
tryouts in New York City.
After five days of auditions
Kuribayashi received a job offer.
As it was, his dancing at the clubs
came in handy and the dance com-
pany noticed his skill for improvi-
sation. Id be at the clubs and Id
be dancing around these people,
Kuribayashi said. Id constantly
have to evolve my movements just
so I didnt hit somebody that had
a beer in their hand.
The enigmatic personality that
had caught the eye of faculty at
the University also caught the
eye of the Pilobolus members.
The masses of other athletic and
chiseled Pilobolus hopefuls didnt
intimidate Kuribayashi.
Instead he just greeted every-
one with a pleasant, Hi my name
is Jun, Im from Kansas.
After nearly four years of trav-
eling and performing 48 weeks a
year, Kuribayashi is finally return-
ing to his hometown to perform
a place he visits whenever he
has time off.
Its just sort of like a reunion
of sorts, Kuribayashi, who has
appeared on the cover of Dance
Magazine, said.
His family will be there tonight,
so will Hamburg and other depart-
ment faculty members, and so will
his sixth grade teacher and high
school swimming coach.
Students think theyre at a dis-
advantage, Hamburg said. They
think, I couldnt possibly go to
New York. Hes a wonderful role
model.
Kuribayashi walked away from
his morning massage refreshed.
He said he was excited to fly back
to Lawrence to celebrate his wifes
birthday on Tuesday.
You cant do this job with-
out having a very understanding
spouse, Kuribayashi said.
For the moment, his mind was
free of thoughts about sore mus-
cles and piercing pain.

University Senates Executive
Committee did not approve the
changes the Academic Policies and
Procedures Committee recommend-
ed to the class drop policy at SenExs
meeting last week.
SenEx agreed with the Academic
Policies and Procedure Committee,
the AP&P, that the mark W with-
drawn, should be reinstated in place
of the marks WP, withdrawn pass-
ing, and WF, withdrawn failing. But
SenEx asked the AP&P to rewrite
its recommendation regarding sig-
natures of drop forms because of
ambiguous wording.
Geraldo de Sousa, chairman of
the AP&P and associate professor of
English, said the committee wanted
to be sure students knew they would
have to follow the drop rules of the
school of their major, not the school
of the class they were enrolled in.
Jack Brown, a member of SenEx
and professor of molecular biosci-
ences, said he supported the rein-
statement of W on transcripts, but
did not agree with the AP&P that
W was a neutral mark.
Brown said the University institut-
ed the WP and WF grades because
past studies done by the AP&P had
shown that W was looked at nega-
tively. He said people had assumed
students withdrew from their classes
because they were not doing well in
them. The WF and WP grades
were instated in Fall 2006.
Sousa said he did not think an
occasional W on a students tran-
script would be a problem. He said
the mark only became a problem
when students habitually withdrew
from classes.
Brown said the only argument that
had persuaded him was the incon-
sistent standards teachers used to
give WFs. He said it was unfair to
the total population of students that
some disciplines did not like to give
out WFs but others did not mind
using it. He also said the fact that
some teachers gave WFs to students
because they had not yet done any
work in the class was unfair.
If the student has never per-
formed, then how do I know if they
were failing? Brown said.
If University Senate approves the
AP&Ps current recommendations,
students might be able to drop their
classes online after the third week of
the semester because schools at the
University would be able to make
their own signature rules.
SenEx also stated it was afraid
some students would not understand
the consequences of withdrawing
from a class if they were not required
to obtain a signature.
Kim McNeley, a member of the
AP&P and assistant dean of College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said stu-
dents should get permission from an
adviser to drop a class if they were a
freshman or close to graduation.
SenEx was also concerned the new
policy would be hard to implement
because students who were taking
the same class could have different
drop rules.
Sousa said unless the school said
otherwise, W was not a grade, but
an administrative record. He said
because teachers would no longer
have to decide whether a student was
passing or failing a class, the new sys-
tem would actually be simpler.
Cindy Derritt, registrar at the
Office of the University Registrar,
said the new policy would be easy for
the Registrar to implement. She said
the Registrar could begin accepting
drop slips without signatures imme-
diately, but it would be at least 18
months before students could drop
classes online after the third week of
the semester because its program-
ming staff was so backed up.
The AP&P will report its revised
recommendations to SenEx after
spring break. If SenEx approves the
recommendations, they will be sent
to full University Senate for approval
before becoming policies.

Schuyler Bailey, captain of the KU
Public Safety Office, said KU students
who were leaving town for spring
break could follow several common-
sense steps to minimize the risk of
having their valuables stolen while
they were gone.
Lock up
Jenny Rollwagen, Minneapolis
freshman and resident of Naismith
Hall, said she usually left her car open
when she moved her things in and
out of her dorm before break.
I dont leave my computer out or
anything, but if its just clothes, I dont
think anyone would take clothes,
Rollwagen said.
But Bailey said because a large
number of students were moving
items out of their residences, such
a crime would be more likely to go
unnoticed.
He said that students who lived in
the dorms should be particularly con-
cerned with this type of theft because
it regularly occurred there.
Bailey also said some thieves
walked down dorm halls looking for
doors that were unlocked.
He said that occasionally drunk
students looking for someone would
wander into a room, but that usually
it was people looking for something
to steal.
Which is why we strive so hard
to repeat that even if you are in your
dorm, lock your door, Bailey said.
He said he did not know how
commonly this occurred off campus,
but he said if it happened in the
dorms, he would imagine it happens
elsewhere.
Rollwagen said she has had people
open her door in the middle of the
night, but as far as she knew, drunk
friends had always been the perpetra-
tors. She said she would lock her door
and take her valuables home over
break, but she felt confident that the
staff of Naismith would protect the
residence hall.
Stop your maiL
Bailey said that students should
either have their mail stopped while
they are on break or arrange for
someone to pick it up for them.
Any time you are out for a walk
you say, Oh, theyre not home
because theres a bunch of newspa-
pers stacked up, Bailey said. Its
a real quick giveaway no one is at
home.
Get an aLarm
Bailey said alarms can come in
handy, but only if students remem-
bered to set them. He also said stu-
dents who installed alarms would
need to find someone who would be
responsible for the alarm if it went
off.
Bailey said students should check
with their apartment complexes
before installing alarms.
Scott Martin, Northbrooke, Ill.,
senior, said he did not know anyone
who has had their apartment broken
into, but he was still worried about a
break-in because he owns a number
of expensive items.
Martin said his apartment is
equipped with an alarm system but
he has not activated it because it
would cost him money to do so.
Martin compared paying to have his
alarm system activated and actually
having a break-in to buying a win-
ning lottery ticket.
What are the chances? Martin
said. Its just another bill coming in.
Two types of alarms that stick
onto doors and windows via dou-
ble-sided adhesive tape and do not
require tools for installation can be
bought from Target for less than
$20.

Simple home alarmsystems are available for purchase at Target year-round for less than $20.
Schuyler Bailey, Police Captain at the KU Public Safety Ofce, said alarmsystems can deter thieves,
but he said many people forget to set their home alarmsystems when they leave.

The KU Parking Commission
voted 5 to 1 to approve a recom-
mendation to decrease the price of
Park and Ride permits, The pro-
posal would decrease the Park and
Ride cost from $205 to $100 and
increase the price of every other
parking permit by $30, except for
reserved permits and garage gold
permits, which would increase by
$100 and $50.
The goal of the proposal is to
motivate more students to choose
Park and Ride rather than parking
on campus, said Donna Hultine,
director of Parking and Transit.
We want to lower the Park &
Ride permit so that it becomes
the cheapest option, Hultine said.
Theres a culture here and were
trying to shift the culture in small
bites.
If KU Provost Richard Lariviere
approves the recommendation,
which he should receive today, the
price changes would go into effect
next fall.
Hultine said that this would be
the last time parking permits would
be increased for a few years.
If we can bring in at least
$300,000, Im confident we wont
have to ask for an increase anytime
soon, she said.
The Parking Department proj-
ects that the changes would increase
its revenue by more than $315,000.
Hultine said the department
would use $160,000 of that amount
to operate two new buses on the
Park and Ride route. The rest would
go toward other expenses such as
paying for the increasing cost of
fuel and parking lot maintenance.
Kathy Reed, the only dissenting
voter at the meeting, said she didnt
think the price changes were fair
to faculty.
These increases are very high
for those poor folks who are just
trying to make a living, she said.
The reality of it is that we wont
utilize Park and Ride as much as
you expect us to.
Hultine said that because parking
on campus is so limited, there were
few other solutions to decreasing the
parking congestion on campus.
We have to come to terms with
the fact that were not getting any
new parking, she said. We see
where the administrations priori-
ties are and we know that were
most likely going to continue to
lose parking.
Tuesdays Parking Commission
meeting also included discussions
about the possibility of allowing all
students and faculty to have free
access to all KU buses.
If the proposal passes through
either Student Senate or the next
student referendum on April 9, it
would require a $20 to $25 increase
to individual student fees. Danny
Kaiser, assistant director to Parking
& Transit, said the department
would be willing to contribute
about $1.4 million to help pay for
the proposal.
It will serve as a statement that
institutionally we are willing to put
down this kind of investment for
students so that they arent paying
for all of it with student fees, he
said.
Only 22.8 percent of KU stu-
dents currently use bus passes,
according to statistics provided by
the Registrars office and Parking
and Transit, but Hultine said she
expects to see a 20 percent increase
in ridership if students were given
free access.

Provost to review permit plan
BY ROBERT BURNS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Navy
admiral in charge of the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan announced
Tuesday that he was resigning foll-
wing press reports portraying him
as opposed to President Bushs Iran
policy.
Adm. William J. Fallon, one of
the most experienced officers in the
U.S. military, said the reports were
wrong but had become a distraction
hampering his efforts in the Middle
East. Fallons area of responsibility
includes Iran and stretches from
Central Asia across the Middle East
to the Horn of Africa.
I dont believe there have
ever been any differences about
the objectives of our policy in the
Central Command area of respon-
sibility, Fallon said, and he regret-
ted the simple perception that
there is. He was in Iraq when he
made the statement.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates
told a Pentagon news conference
that he accepted Fallons request
to resign and retire from the Navy,
agreeing that the Iran issue had
become a distraction. But Gates
said repeatedly that he believed talk
of Fallon opposing Bush on Iran
was mistaken.
I dont think that there really
were differences at all, Gates said,
adding that Fallon was not pres-
sured to leave.
He told me that, quote, The
current embarrassing situation,
public perception of differences
between my views and administra-
tion policy, and the distraction this
causes from the mission make this
the right thing to do, unquote,
Gates told reporters.

Critics blame Musharraf for
inability to stop violence
LAHORE, Pakistan Pakistans
crisis deepened after two suicide
bombings killed 24 people and
wounded more than 200 in this
normally peaceful city Tuesday, and
pressure grew for more dialogue
with militants as a new govern-
ment prepares to take ofce.
It was the frst major act of ter-
rorism since former Prime Minister
Nawaz Sharif and slain opposition
leader Benazir Bhuttos Pakistan
Peoples Party announced over the
weekend that they would form a
coalition government aimed at
reducing the powers of President
Pervez Musharraf, a U.S. ally.
With such attacks now spread-
ing from unruly tribal regions to
the eastern cultural capital of La-
hore, an increasing number of Paki-
stanis are questioning Musharrafs
approach to countering al-Qaida
and the Taliban. Musharrafs oppo-
nents say punitive military action
has only fueled the violence.
Musharraf quickly condemned
the savage bombings, which
ripped through a police headquar-
ters and a business located near
a house belonging to Bhuttos
widower. The president said in a
statement that the government
would continue to fght terrorism
with full force.
But some enraged Lahore
residents blamed Musharraf. They
gathered in small groups Tuesday
on the citys main Mall Road, chant-
ing Musharraf is a dog! Musharraf
is a pimp!
The winners of last months
elections accused the former
army strongman of destabilizing
the country with military opera-
tions against militants near the
Afghan border and even suggested
that rogue forces were trying to
undermine Pakistans return to
democracy.

Battle of the Birds:
hawks defeat jays
state of
robinson came to the plains from the concrete jungle
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
Russell Robinson walked down the hall-
way at Allen Fieldhouse before practice
three weeks ago, a KU cap snug on his head
and Jayhawk warm-ups covering his body.
He was draped in blue and red except for
the pink and green can he sipped from in
his right hand.
The drink? Arizona Iced Tea, a staple for
New York City basketball players.
Those cans are so big and only cost a
dollar, Robinson said. When youre in the
park and youre thirsty,
it doesnt cost a lot and
gives you a lot of juice.
Thats Russell
Robinson. No mat-
ter how Kansas he is,
hell always have a part
of New York City with
him.
Robinson spent most
of his childhood liv-
ing in Harlem and the
Bronx, where he fell in
love with the hectic pace
of city life, where his parents sheltered
him from the sometimes-violent streets and
where he learned to play basketball with an
unquestioned toughness.
Living in New York gave Robinson an
edge, a streak of willpower that prevented
him from giving up after a rocky transition
as a freshman and made him who he is
today, a senior on the verge of graduating
and leading his team on what he hopes is a
successful NCAA tournament run while at
the same time preparing for his next phase
in life, whether it takes him back to New
York or to the other side of the world.
Life in the city
The rap and Latin music started playing
early, sometimes just
after dawn.
It sounded through
the morning air in
harmony with the
almost nonstop honk-
ing of cars from the
Grand Concourse up
to Robinsons room in
his moms Bronx apart-
ment. Outside that
window, he could see
the zooming cars, delis,
bodegas, a McDonalds,
other high-rise apartments and of course,
people tons of people, on top of each
other.
As crowd-
ed as it was,
Robinson said, I felt
like I had my own space.
It was a big borough. I knew
a lot of people and at one point a
lot of people knew me.
This is how Robinson
liked it. He lived in Harlem
until he was nine, before
his dad, Russell Robinson
Sr., moved first to Texas and
then to North Carolina for ser-
geant duty in the military. Robinson, whose
parents divorced when he was nine, tagged
along with Russell Sr. because his parents
thought the fresh air might clear his asthma.
The open space relaxed Robinson, but he
preferred the congestion.
By junior high, he was asthma-free and
back in the city. Russell Sr. and Theresa
Robinson, his mother, each moved into
Bronx apartments, and Robinson split time
between their homes.
He loved the action of New York. Robinson
shopped for clothes at Sammys and other
stores along Fordham Road, balled at Rucker
Park or any of the best playgrounds in the five
boroughs, dined with his mom at Stefans or
spent a quiet day at the Museum of Natural
H i s t o r y .
S o m e t i m e s ,
Robinson even visited the
Statue of Liberty, the Empire State
building or other tourist attractions.
I love the fact theres always something
to do, he said. Busy, busy, busy, busy. I like
hustle and bustle. I like having to do this at
this time. You have everything right there at
your fingertips.
I love it.
It didnt have to be that way. Robinson
and his family lived at 129th Street in
Harlem until he turned nine. Gunshots
often rang at night. Drug dealers and winos
sometimes gathered on nearby sidewalks.
Theresa and Russell Sr. kept Robinson
away from the madness back then by keep-
ing him busy. Monday through Friday
meant school, followed by time with a baby
mind

Basketball IQ
doesnt win
championships
BY AshER fusco
Afusco@KANsAN.coM
when March arrives,
talent beats experience
College basketballs conference tourna-
ment season has begun, so I dont get outside
to enjoy the weather much these days. No big
deal. My TV tells me March has arrived.
Basketball analysts have started pulling
out the platitudes, trumpeting intangibles
such as grit and determination and tossing
around vague terms like veteran leadership.
Expert A believes Villanova will succeed
in March because its players are tough-
minded. Expert B likes the Kentucky
Wildcats better after all, theyve displayed
tremendous heart this season!
But what if intangibles namely experience
really do play a part in Marchs madness?
College basketball statistics Web site
www.kenpom.com computes the average
number of years of experience on each
teams roster. If age has as great a correla-
tion to success as the analysts say it does,
the numbers should serve as an easy way
to handicap this months conference and
NCAA tournaments.
The statistics say the Big 12 is a very
young conference. Kansas is the leagues
most experienced team but ranks just 51st
nationally. Texas A&M and Oklahoma are
in the middle of the conferences pack in
terms of age but are around the 35th per-
centile of teams across the country.
The stats also show very little connection
between regular season success and experi-
ence. Although Kansas is both the confer-
ences top-ranked team and its oldest, bot-
tom-feeders such as Missouri and Colorado
are in the top five when ranked in order of
basketball maturity. Texas and Kansas State,
two of the leagues top three teams, sit at the
bottom of the Big 12s experience ladder.
Similar inconsistencies appear in the
nationwide data. Of the top 10 most battle-
tested teams, only one Washington State
is in line for an at-large NCAA tournament
berth. Several teams with respectable rsums,
such as Florida, Syracuse and USC, are among
the five youngest squads in the nation (out of
341 teams).
Bottom line, there isnt any reason to
assume a veteran team holds an edge over a
group of youngsters. Kansas State freshman
forwards Michael Beasley and Bill Walker
proved that when they dismantled an upper-
classmen-heavy Kansas team in January.
Colorado proved it when it finished last
in the Big 12 despite having three seniors in
its starting lineup. The makeup of the All-
Big 12 first team reinforces the point: two
freshmen, two sophomores, two juniors,
and no seniors.
Who knows? Maybe the wisdom of expe-
rience does pay dividends come tourney
time. Perhaps veteran-laced Colorado simply
spent the conference season purposely glid-
ing under the radar at 3-13. Could Texas
Tech be gearing up for a furious run through
March on the shoulders of the seniors that
lost by 58 points at Allen Fieldhouse?
The age numbers dont bode well for
Kansas State and Texas, but the teams
rsums speak for themselves. Kansas State
struggled down the stretch but snared 10
victories in one of the nations top three
conferences, and its unlikely a freshman
sensation like Beasley is going to turn into a
pumpkin when the clock hits midnight and
the postseason begins. On top of dispatch-
ing Kansas and Kansas State in conference
play, Texas defeated probable No. 1 seeds
UCLA and Tennessee away from home.
Sure, older teams can fare well. Much of
Kansas success stems from its stellar senior
class and an ultra-talented batch of juniors.
Last seasons Florida team got most of its
minutes from seniors and took home the
national championship.
The analysts love seniors and cant get
enough of players who have honed their
basketball IQ over the years. But March isnt
all about smarts. March and every other
month on the college basketball calendar
is all about talent.

First-round victory advances Kansas in Big 12
BY TAYLoR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The story for
Kansas in its last five losses could be told in
four minutes. That is, no matter what the
halftime score was, the Jayhawks lackluster
performance in the first four minutes of the
second half doomed them to defeat.
Tuesday night, instead of giving up a run,
Kansas dealt the blows in those crucial min-
utes out of the break, hitting
Nebraska with an 11-4 run.
From there the Jayhawks
opened up a 17-point lead,
saw it shrink to four, then
grinded out a 73-67 victory.
This is the second straight
season Kansas won its first-
round game of the Big 12
tournament as the No. 11 seed.
What we did is, normally when we come
out of the locker room to start the game, all
the coaches are out, we knock on the door and
high five them all, coach Bonnie Henrickson
said. So, as strange as it sounds, we did the
same thing coming out of halftime. I said,
Stay right here, were going to go outside and
pound on the door and give you high fives like
the start of the game.
Henricksons superstitious halftime routine
was successful and she said she planned to
use it again tonight when Kansas tips off with
Oklahoma State in the second round at 8:30.
Leading the Jayhawks was forward Taylor
McIntosh. McIntosh was possessed Tuesday
night, and the only way to exercise her demons
was to dominate the paint.
The senior shot a perfect 5-for-5 from
the field, 3-of-3 from the free-throw line and
hauled in a game high 11 rebounds.
I just felt loose and ready to play,
McIntosh said. I knew this might be our last
conference game so just leave it out on the
floor and have no regrets.
However, McIntosh played only 26 min-
utes because of foul trouble, eventually fouling
out with 4:25 remaining.
Right before McIntoshs
exit, sophomore guard
Kelly Kohn drilled a three-
pointer from the corner to
put Kansas up 64-52.
I dont know if I can tell
you how great it felt, Kohn
said of the shot.
Free throws kept the Cornhuskers in the
game but missed layups prevented them from
getting over the hump. Nebraska was 22-for-
28 from the free-throw line but missed 19
shots within three feet.
With the game on the line, sophomore
guard Sade Morris did her best McIntosh
impersonation, putting the team on her shoul-
ders and carrying them to victory.
With just less than two minutes left, Morris
grabbed sophomore guard Danielle McCrays
missed three-pointer and put it back to push
the lead to nine. Then, as the shot clock
neared zero, Morris hit a driving shot in the
lane to make the lead 70-64 and effectively
ice the game.
That was a huge, monster board in the
middle of the lane that she grabbed and thats
game changing, Henrickson said. You can
probably look at three or four of her plays that
were game changing and thats why we won.
McCray and sophomore guard LaChelda
Jacobs hit the final free throws to get Kansas
out with a victory. The victory, Henrickson
said, locked up a WNIT bid for Kansas, but
right now its focus is on Oklahoma State and
sophomore guard Andrea Riley.
Rileys been a matchup nightmare for
everybody all year, Henrickson said. The
kids are excited and they obviously respect
Oklahoma State, but I think our confidence
is big and we believe we can get it done.

Prosecutor suspended
for special treatment
of Nuggets forward
DENVER A Denver city
prosecutor was suspended
when Nuggets forward
Kenyon Martin was allowed
to keep his drivers license
despite receiving two tickets
for going over 100 mph.
At a minimum ... theres
an appearance that (Martin)
did receive preferential treat-
ment, said Vince DiCroce,
the top prosecutor at the
Denver city attorneys ofce.
DiCroce said the prosecu-
tor who handled the cases,
Russell Stone, was suspend-
ed for three days without
pay. Stone, who lost an ap-
peal of the punishment, said
he was not allowed to com-
ment under city attorneys
ofce rules.
Nuggets spokesman
Eric Sebastian said neither
Martin nor the team would
comment.
Martins plea deals, frst re-
ported in January by KMGH-
TV, stemmed from tickets
written in 2006 for going 101
mph in a 30 mph zone and
103 mph in a 55 mph zone.
In the frst case, the initial
plea agreement would have
meant revocation of Martins
license. His attorneys then
negotiated a new agree-
ment, according to court
documents and city ofcials.
In the second instance,
Martins case was transferred
to Stone after another prose-
cutor ofered a plea deal that
would have led to a license
revocation, according to the
documents and ofcials.
Daniel Recht, an attorney
in the frm representing Mar-
tin, said defense attorneys
did nothing wrong. He told
the Rocky Mountain News
the frm defended Martin
ethically, competently and
aggressively.

Chiefs sign free agent for
open wide receiver spot
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Kansas
City Chiefs agreed to terms Tues-
day with free agent wide receiver
Devard Darling, shoring up the
teams receiving corps after the
release of Eddie Kennison.
Darling, Baltimores third-round
pick in 2004, played in 30 games in
four seasons for the Ravens, catch-
ing 20 passes for
331 yards with
three touch-
downs. Eighteen
of those catches
came in 2007.
In college,
Darling played
his freshman
season at Florida
State before transferring to Wash-
ington State after the death of his
brother, Devaughn.
Devaughn Darling died in 2001
at the age of 18 of an apparent
cardiac arrhythmia during an of-
season workout at Florida State.
Kennison, 35, played for the
Chiefs for seven seasons and
was their top receiver for most of
that time. But last season, he was
limited by hamstring and shoulder
injuries to only eight games, catch-
ing 13 passes for 101 yards.

Suit alleging cheating
in Superbowl dropped
NEW ORLEANS Lawyers for
a former St. Louis Rams player
and three fans plan to withdraw
a lawsuit that accuses the New
England Patriots of cheating in
the 2002 Super Bowl.
In court papers fled Monday,
the plaintifs attorneys said they
sued last month in an attempt
to secure sworn testimony from
former Patriots employee Matt
Walsh, who allegedly taped a
walkthrough practice by the
Rams before New Englands
Super Bowl win.
But the lawyers for former
Rams player Willie Gary called it
an exercise in futilitybecause
they suspected Walsh would
exercise his Fifth Amendment
right against self-incrimination
if he was ordered to submit to a
deposition.

BY TYLER PASSMORE
tpassmore@kansan.com
With warm, sunny weather set-
ting the scene, the Jayhawks got
off to an explosive start Tuesday
against the Tabor College Bluejays at
Hoglund Ballpark.
In his first start for the Jayhawks
(9-5), senior right-hander Hiarali
Garcia sent the Bluejays (5-12) down
in order in the first and set the tone
for what would lie ahead.
Leading off the bottom of the
first with back-to-back bunt singles
by junior center fielder Nick Faunce
and sophomore second baseman
Robby Price, senior left fielder John
Allman took the plate and crushed a
deep shot to left field to give Kansas
a 3-0 lead.
I was looking for something
middle ten and something I could
put a good swing on, Allman said.
I got a ball that was elevated enough
and was able to put it over the fence.
It was a good job of those first two
guys getting on base and getting in
scoring position.
The Jayhawks managed to carry
the momentum into the top of the
third inning, when Bluejays junior
first baseman Alfred Wilson tripled,
scoring junior second baseman
Travis Schafer.
With the Bluejays climbing back
into the game 3-1, the Jayhawks
responded in the next half-inning.
After an Allman walk, junior first
baseman Preston Land sent a ball
screaming down the left-field line
for a double and put two runners
in scoring position. The next bat-
ter to the plate was senior right
fielder Ryne Price, who got an RBI
on a one-hopper to the Tabor second
baseman.
The Jayhawks would add another
run when Land came around to
score on a wild pitch and finished
the inning up by four.
The Bluejays continued to go
quietly as the Jayhawk bullpen ran
through a number of its pitchers to
silence Tabors bats.
Allman led the Jayhawks, who
had 10 hits, at the plate, going 2-2 on
the day with two BB, three RBI and
a home run.
With the bats cooling, senior
shortstop Erik Morrison re-ener-
gized the team with a solo shot to left
in the sixth. Morrisons home run
marked his first of the season and
the 24th of his career as a Jayhawk.
I normally struggle with guys
who throw mid-70s to low 80s,
Morrison said. I got lucky and
caught one that hung up inside and I
guess I put a decent swing on it.
In the eighth inning, after a
double from freshman left fielder
Blake Slage moved sophomore sec-
ond baseman Robby Price to third,
senior first basemen Justin Ellrich
singled home both runners.
The offensive effort was more
than enough, as the Hawks finished
off the Bluejays 8-1, giving Garcia
his first win of the season.
Other than just getting a victory,
the day proved to be beneficial, as 19
position players saw playing time and
six different pitchers took the mound.
These games are very helpful,
Land said. Its a good opportunity
for some of our younger guys to get
in and get some playing time.
While these games may seem to
be blowouts to the average fan, coach
Ritch Price thinks differently.
I think they are a lot better than
a practice, Price said. Youre play-
ing these games to try and give the
opportunity to some of your young
guys to emerge. For us today it was
an important outing for T.J. Walz.
He has struggled after Christmas
and hasnt been sharp in the games
he has been in and today he goes out
there and threw the ball like the guy
we thought were recruiting and that
is important for him. It gave him a
chance to gain some confidence.
The Jayhawks got their seventh
win in a row and will try to keep
momentum going to Missouri State
today and then head to Austin on
Friday to face the Longhorns at 6:05
p.m. in the first game of a three-
game weekend series.

Allman, Morrison lead offensive rout
Garcia picks up first win of season; Kansas dispatches Tabor College Bluejays 8-1
Milestone watch
With the victory against Tabor,
Kansas coach Ritch Price recorded
his 800th career victory, spanning
all the way back to his frst season
at Phoenix High School (Phoe-
nix, Ore.) in 1978. In his 30-year
coaching career, Price has coached
at Phoenix High School, Jasper
High School (Jasper, Texas), Menlo
College (Atherton, Calif.), DeAnza
Community College (Cuper-
tino, Calif.), and Cal Poly (San Luis
Obispo, Calif.) before coming to
Kansas in 2003. Prices career win-
ning percentage is .572 and hes
just one victory shy of his 400th as
a Division I coach.
Senior shortstop Erik Morrison
inched closer to pulling even with
fellow senior Ryne Price on Kansas
all-time home run list. Morrison
hit his frst home run of the season
and 25th of his career in the bot-
tom of the sixth Tuesday, putting
him four home runs behind Travis
Metcalf, who holds the all-time
home run record. Price, who
entered the season tied with Morri-
son, has two home runs this season
and is three behind Metcalf.

with ad
sitter or at the YMCA while Theresa
and Russell Sr. worked. Weekends
included basketball, art classes,
church and other family activities.
I was almost overprotective,
Theresa said. It was just about being
really involved with what he was
doing and keeping him busy and
organized.
The violence and drugs rarely
infiltrated Theresa and Russell Sr.s
middle-class Bronx neighborhoods,
but surrounding areas werent as
safe. Russell Sr. cant remember his
son ever getting into trouble, but
trouble never lingered too far away.
Shortly after Robinson returned
to New York as a seventh grader, he
heard about the drug-related arrest
of a ninth-grade friend.
An undercover cop, Robinson
said. It was like straight out of a
movie.
His friend was caught up in a
drug business that was tied to mur-
ders, and he landed a 21-year prison
sentence.
He was a good kid, Robinson
said. He just wanted to make money
and be cool.
That was the exception for
R o b i n s o n s
friends. He sur-
rounded himself
with classmates
who wanted to
go to college and
stay away from
the negative
influences of the
city. They went to
movies, hung out
at peoples houses
and played bas-
ketball on the
weekends, instead of spending time
on the street or at dangerous clubs.
Robinson knew about the other
side but stayed distracted from it.
Living in a city with eight million
people, Russell Sr. said, you kind
of get an edge. Living in that city
gives you an edge to survive because
youre going up against obstacles
every day.
BasketBall was
everything
Thud. Thud. Thud.
The leather ball would bounce
against the floor for hours in the
Robinson household.
Robinson started dribbling a
little Spalding basketball before he
even entered kindergarten. When he
didnt carry around his basketball,
he played with a football. He tried
dribbling it, too.
Robinson dabbled in art to emu-
late his older brother, Quentin, but
Theresa could tell that sports meant
the world to him. She started taking
Robinson to the park next to Harlem
Hospital, where she worked as the
assistant to the director, and would
watch him out her window.
As Robinson got older, he went to
the playgrounds more often, playing
all day, every day. The hoops Mecca
that is New York gave Robinson
the opportunity to play almost any-
where, anytime, and against the best
competition.
Hed travel with his Amateur
Athletic Union team, the Gauchos,
from playground to playground,
gym to gym, across the different
boroughs on weekends in junior
high and high school. Theyd com-
pete until they lost and move on,
playing at least four games of serious
basketball on those days.
The other kids would want to
fight him in the tournaments on the
street, Theresa said. You had to be
tough.
Robinsons game progressed fur-
ther at Rice High School, a Christian
Brothers school in Central Harlem,
where he earned a full scholarship.
He started on varsity as a freshman
at Rice, something almost unheard
of at a New York City high school.
The citys only other freshman start-
er that year was Lincolns Sebastian
Telfair, who
later became the
first point guard
to enter the NBA
Draft out of high
school.
In Robinsons
second sea-
son, his team
got the bet-
ter of Telfairs.
Rice defeated
Lincoln in the
state semifinal
and then won state. His Gauchos
AAU team also won two national
titles.
Much of Robinsons success
stemmed from the edge his father
talked about. Few players brought
as much toughness as Robinson. He
even played in the post his first two
years at Rice.
I was 6-1 and played like I was
6-5, Robinson said. You have to
find a way to stand out and mine was
being tougher than everybody else.
The banging took its toll on
Robinsons body. He broke both
ankles and both wrists and suffered
chronic shin splints.
But pain never bothered
Robinson. Russell Sr. found that out
one summer day.
An elbow popped into Robinsons
mouth in an AAU game at the New
Jersey Boys Club. Blood squirted
from his gums and streamed onto
the court in red splotches.
Russell Sr. ran from the bleachers
to check on his son.
Hey, Russell Sr. told him, lets
go to the doctor.
Robinson wouldnt even consider
leaving. He played the rest of the
game, and his team won. His father
finally convinced him to get stitches
afterwards.
More than five years later, Russell
Sr. still calls it a wow moment.
He played drinking his own
blood, Russell Sr. said.
The toughness attracted college
recruiters. Robinson seemed des-
tined for a Big East or ACC school
until he met Norm Roberts, then a
KU assistant coach. Roberts New
York ties made Robinson feel com-
fortable with the idea of going to
Kansas.
Roberts felt the same connection
and liked Robinson more every time
he saw him play. His last two years
of high school, Robinson was a gun-
ner who averaged 22 points a game,
but Roberts also saw defense and
unselfishness. One game, Roberts
said Robinson got 15 steals.
The bigger the game, Roberts
said, the better he played. He just
got more focused.
Robinson signed with the
Jayhawks in November of his senior
year. After Roberts left to become
coach at St. Johns, Robinson hon-
ored his commitment. He was going
to move far from his New York
haven to a foreign place, Lawrence.
growing pains
Two weeks after Robinson got
settled into his Jayhawker Towers
apartment freshman year, he called
his dad with an urgent message.
Robinson told him to send a pack-
age of belongings from his room
at home. Shoes. Clothes. Posters.
Pictures. Basketball trophies. If
something reminded Robinson of
his hometown, he wanted it.
I was basically trying to bring
New York here, Robinson said.
Lawrence just wasnt the Bronx.
The nearby shops and malls didnt fit
Robinsons fashion tastes. He didnt
like the restaurants and couldnt
understand why so many people ate
sushi. The laid-back pace didnt suit
Robinson like the hustle and bustle
of New York did.
His teammates seemed like they
were from another planet, too. They
went out on weekends, something
Robinson rarely
did back home.
Where he grew
up, basketball
dominated nearly
every part of life.
I remember
feeling left out,
Robinson said. I
was used to hav-
ing everything
at my fingertips
when I wanted it.
Homesickness worsened when
Robinsons successful start to the
season turned sour. A turnover
problem moved Robinson from first
guard off the bench to seldom-used
reserve. He didnt play in nearly half
the games the final two months of
the year.
Robinson stayed at his apartment
and played video games most week-
ends and didnt communicate often
with teammates. He didnt even like
to call home because it made him
miss New York even more. Theresa
tried to encourage him by sending
him poems. Nothing worked.
It was hard to connect with him,
senior guard Jeremy Case said. He
didnt really say a whole lot. Because
he was homesick, he kind of kept
to himself and talked on the phone
a lot.
After the season, rumors swirled
that Robinson might transfer. His
minutes had dropped, and his good
friend and roommate Alex Galindo
had already left the team. Self had
helped recruit him the year before,
but Robinson said he didnt quite
relate to Self early on like he did to
Roberts.
Robinson couldve given up and
listened to friends who wanted him
to transfer to a Big East school closer
to home. He said he never even con-
sidered it.
I chose KU for a reason,
Robinson said. Even though I was
maybe upset at the time or disap-
pointed, I still came here. I wanted
to be here. I didnt want to be known
as a quitter. I wanted to prove it to
myself and my family that I could
stay here.
That summer Robinson didnt
return to New York once. He worked
out every day and added 15 pounds
of muscle. Lawrence became his
home, too. Robinson started opening
up to teammates and coaches, going
out more and enjoying Lawrence
food, even sushi.
The next season, Robinson
became a leader for a starting lineup
that included three freshmen. The
past three years, hes started every
game except two, developed a repu-
tation as one of the best defensive
guards in the country and helped
lead the team
to three straight
Big 12 regular
season and two
straight postsea-
son titles.
He had a
chance to pout
and quit, Self
said, but he
got tougher and
harder. Hell go
down as one of
my favorites to
coach because I think Russell views
his play on one thing: wins and
losses. ... We can all say that, but are
we willing to sacrifice to give us the
best chance? I think Russell really is
one of those guys.
The skinny boy from the Bronx
who missed home and couldnt get
off the bench is now two months
away from graduating with a degree
in communications, three victories
away from another Big 12 tourna-
ment title and a solid NCAA tour-
nament run away from a possible
Final Four. What seemed like a
nightmare three years ago is now
a dream.
The toughness that he learned
from New York, that you have to
make it and not give up, Theresa
said, thats how he persevered.
ready to move on
People tell Robinson all the time
that he should be a coach.
His dad. KU coaches. Friends.
Rice High School coach Maurice
Hicks. They all think hed be a natu-
ral. Robinsons not so sure.
Coaching makes you crazy if you
ask me, he said.
Robinson will have to decide
quickly what he wants to do after his
Jayhawk career ends. More than like-
ly, his future will include profession-
al basketball of some kind. Robinson
intends to play somewhere, even
if he has to go overseas. An NBA
executive, who insisted on anonym-
ity, said Robinsons NBA stock could
vary depending on Kansas postsea-
son run. He liked Robinsons tough-
ness and strength but wondered if
he had enough talent to make it in
the league.
After basketball, Robinson talked
about being a sports agent or an
entrepreneur. Theresa and Russell
Sr. think their son might try teaching
kids in the inner city.
He really loves kids, Theresa
said, and he likes to set examples,
so I know he could be a good role
model. He could show them how to
achieve and not give up.
Really, Robinson has just one
preference for his future.
Whatever I do, I want to
find my way back to New York,
Robinson said. I kind of feel like
theres no place like New York. Its
going to be hard to stay away from
that city.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Taylor
McIntosh couldnt stand the thought
of six consecutive losses to conclude
her senior season. Her performance
in Tuesday nights 73-67 victory
against Nebraska certainly showed
how determined she was to stop
Kansas slide.
I just felt loose and ready to
play, she said. OK, this might be
our last conference game but just
leave it out on the floor and have no
regrets. I felt it and I think my team-
mates fed off of my energy.
With season-leading scorer
Danielle McCray held scoreless
in the first half, Kansas relied on
McIntosh to provide offensive
punch. She responded by scoring
seven points and ripping down
seven rebounds in the first 20 min-
utes to pace the Jayhawks. It was
exactly the kind of response coach
Bonnie Henrickson needed from
her most experienced player.
She kind of had that look in
her eye, flew around and was all
over the boards, Henrickson said.
Made big shots in the paint off of
extra passes, and ironically that was
how she was during the Nebraska
game at our place.
Against Nebraskas dominating
post duo of senior Danielle Page
and junior Kelsey Griffin, McIntosh
showed why she has started 115
of 118 games for Henrickson in
four years. Nearly every loose ball
and defensive
rebound found
its way into her
hands.
Mc I nt o s h ,
a 5-foot-11
senior forward,
brought her best
when it mat-
tered most.
Mc I n t o s h
scored 13
points on 5-
5 shooting and was 3-3 from the
free-throw line. On the boards she
was even more dominant, helping
the Jayhawks win the rebounding
battle 38 to 35 with 11 hard-earned
boards.
The spike in production couldnt
have come at a more opportune
time for Kansas, she averaged 6.7
points and 6.8 rebounds a game
during the previous 29 games.
I think we just got tired of losing
and how we were losing, McIntosh
said. We are better than weve
shown lately.
In the end she gave all she had,
fouling out with
4:25 left and
Kansas up by 12.
But her team-
mates simply
wouldnt allow
her effort to go
to waste. Though
a 17 point lead
d e t e r i o r a t e d ,
leading to a more
than a few anx-
ious moments,
Kansas will play at least one more
game.
I wasnt nervous, McIntosh said
about the four minutes she spent on
the bench at the end of the game.
Especially since everyone came off
the bench ready to play.

NEW YORK Past and pres-
ent stood across the net from each
other during a third-set tiebreaker at
Madison Square Garden.
On one end, a winded Pete
Sampras tried to summon enough
energy to give the New York fans
another memorable win to talk about
it on the subway ride home. On the
other side, Roger Federer wore a sly
grin like he knew age was about to
catch up to the former world No. 1
the man who owns the record of
14 Grand Slams he wants.
Current No. 1 Federer emerged
with a 6-3, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (6) vic-
tory Monday night in an exhibition
match.
For nearly 2 hours, before an
occasionally raucous gathering of
19,690, these two living, breathing
greats of their game shared a court.
It was Pistol Pete vs. The Federer
Express.
The encounter doesnt settle the
Who is better? debate, given that
one participant is 26 and the other
is 36, nothing more than bragging
rights was on the line, and who
can know how hard each was really
trying?
It did, however, raise tennis pro-
file and allow people to say they saw
Sampras, the best of his generation,
face Federer, the best of his.
This is maybe why so many
people came out: You dont often
get the No. 1 in his prime playing
against maybe the greatest player of
all time, said Federer.
It was the fourth Federer-Sampras
exhibition; Federer won two of their
three matches in Asia late last year.
They left open the possibility of
another, with Sampras deferring to
whatever Federer wanted to do.
The two only played one real
match, back at Wimbledon in 2001,
when an up-and-coming Federer
edged an on-the-way-out Sampras
in a five-setter on Centre Court.
That ended Sampras 31-match
winning streak at the All England
Club. Federer would go on to win
five in a row at Wimbledon, a streak
he will try to extend this summer.
Sampras never played a profes-
sional match after winning his last
Grand Slam trophy at the 2002
U.S. Open. Federers Slam count is
already up to 12.

CALGARY, Alberta The
Calgary Flames have a new franchise
leader in goals.
Jarome Iginla scored his 365th,
passing Theo Fleury atop the teams
all-time list, in the Flames 7-3 vic-
tory over the St.
Louis Blues on
Monday night.
The Flames
captain one-
timed a pass from
Kristian Huselius
and had the puck
go in off the back-
side of Blues defen-
seman Eric Brewer
and behind Manny
Legace at 18:27 of
the first period.
Its a really good feeling, said
Iginla. A nice one-time pass from
Juice and I got a break with it going
off of their guys backside and in. Ill
take them all.
Iginlas 41st goal of the season
gave Calgary a 3-1 lead and was
greeted with chants of Iggy! Iggy!
from the sellout crowd of 19,289 at
Pengrowth Saddledome.
I was definitely happy to get it at
home and to get it in a win, Iginla
said. I have a lot of good memories
here, my first goal was here in the
playoffs (in 1996). Time flies.
The 30-year-old Iginla has spent
all 11 of his NHL seasons with the
Flames. He ranks third in points
(743) and was already the franchise
leader in games played (847).
Getting a chance to play in
Calgary as long as I have, to be a
part of any of the teams records is
a huge thrill, Iginla said. Ive been
extremely for-
tunate and
blessed and its
been so much
fun and I want
to keep going.
A l e x
Tanguay had
two goals
and Huselius,
M a t t h e w
L o mb a r d i ,
Marcus Nilson
and Daymond
Langkow also scored for the Flames.
Brad Boyes scored twice and
David Backes added one for St.
Louis, which is 1-8-1 in its last 10
games.
Its frustrating, we had such a
great start and weve been pretty
much pissing it away in the last
two months, said Legace, who was
pulled after the first period having
given up three goals on 11 shots.
He admitted he was stunned when
goaltending coach Rick Walmsley
told him Hannu Toivonen was tak-
ing over.
It was shocking, three goals
were deflected off my defensemen,
Legace said. You cant do much
when it goes off your defensemen.
Toivonen didnt fare much better,
giving up three goals on 18 shots.
Calgary now heads out on a four-
game road trip as the leader in the
Northwest Division.
Weve got to stick with it,
Lombardi said. Its going to be a
really tough schedule coming up but
besides this road trip, were playing
mostly division teams so its in our
hands and we can control it, which
is nice.

Missouri stuns Oklahoma in overtime
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Alyssa
Hollins scored 10 points in over-
time to help Missouri upset No.
13 Oklahoma 70-64 Tuesday in the
first round of the Big 12 womens
tournament.
The Tigers, who finished last in
the Big 12 with only two conference
wins, became the first 12 seed to
advance past the first round. They
will face fourth-seeded Texas A&M
on Wednesday.
A three-pointer by Amanda
Hanneman with 15 seconds left in
regulation sent the game to over-
time.
Courtney Paris had 30 points and
20 rebounds for Oklahoma (21-8),
which was going for its third straight
conference tournament title.
Oklahoma took a 53-50 lead on
Courtney Paris layup with just over
a minute remaining in regulation.
She was fouled on the shot, but
missed a free throw that would have
put the Sooners up by four.
Hanneman had a clear path to the
basket but instead pulled up for the
game-tying three-pointer. Oklahoma
couldnt get a shot off in the final 13
seconds, sending the pro-Missouri
crowd into a frenzy and the game
into overtime.
After Ashley Paris put Oklahoma
up by two to start overtime, Hollins
hit a three-pointer, a jumper and two
free throws to put Missouri (10-20)
up 60-55.
It was the first time Missouri had
scored at least 70 points since a 77-
72 loss to Marshall on Dec. 28.
Danielle Robinson, Big 12
Freshman of the Year, finished with
nine points for Oklahoma.

Size had been a major factor in Phi
Delt 1s winning streak and the mens
Greek intramural championship game
against Phi Psi 1 on Tuesday night was
no exception. Phi Delt 1 players were
always waiting underneath the basket
ready to rebound and used their size to
charge through Phi Psi 1. Both teams
kept teammates and fans at the edge of
their seats the last two minutes of the
close game, but Phi Psi 1 came up short
and Phi Delt 1 won the game 38-35.
Before the game even started, the
tension filled the room as members of
each teams fraternity grouped together
on either side of the gym to show their
loyalty. The teams practiced shooting
layups and Phi Psi 1 players went on a
continuous run making three-pointer
after three-pointer.
A technical foul was called on J.D.
Christie, Shawnee Mission sophomore
and Phi Delt 1 player, because he had
worn a wristband during the game.
The crowd booed and shouted at the
call and watched as Roger Struble,
Salina junior, made two technical free
throws. As play resumed again, Jack
Swab, Tulsa, Okla., senior, hit a three-
point basket at the top of the arc.
The fans added to the heated atmo-
sphere and got more rowdy as the game
continued. After an air ball from a Phi
Psi 1 player, Phi Delt 1s fans screamed
air ball to shake up the player. Shortly
after, Phi Delt 1 got the same fate and
the Phi Psi 1 fans were sure to remind
the player of his mishap.
Stephen Blumhardt, Leawood soph-
omore and Phi Psi 1 player, faked out
his opponent and scored two points
close to the baseline. With only 4:33
minutes left of the first half, the score
was low and Phi Delt 1 was winning
by two points. By the end of the first
half, both teams had gained two more
points, but Phi Delt 1 was still win-
ning. Phi Delt 1 players walked off the
court satisfied with the first half as they
glanced at the scoreboard highlighting
the two-point lead.
The high energy of the second half
began as soon as the clock started play
and players from the Phi Psi 1 sidelines
reminded teammates to D-up on the
defense. The referees watched closely
during the game and called many fouls
during the second half.
Swab was fouled for pushing a Phi
Psi 1 player, which gave Phi Psi 1
possession of the ball. Thirty seconds
later, Swab received his second foul.
This fed Phi Delt 1s anger as players
scrambled for the ball and stayed close
to the basket for a rebound. Phi Psi 1
lost the ball causing a turnover and
players hurried to return to the other
side of the court. When Brian Tagg,
Prairie Village sophomore and Phi Psi
1 player, blocked a shot from Christie,
Phi Psi 1 got back into the swing of the
game. It tied the score at 16 and gave
Phi Delt 1 a reason to fight harder and
be more defensive.
It was hard for Phi Psi 1 to rebound
the ball in the second half and even
when reaching for the ball, Phi Delt 1
players grabbed the ball faster. Phi Psi 1
fell victim to turnovers during the half
which made it easy for Phi Delt 1 play-
ers to take their time with the ball and
have more chances to make baskets.
We tried to rotate more substitutes
and make shots, Tagg said.
Still, Phi Psi 1 helped each other out
and assisted with low passes to other
players for easy points in the paint. A
Phi Psi 1 player helped assist the ball
to Bryan Van Horn, Overland Park
sophomore, for a two point bucket.
With three minutes left in the game,
Phi Psi 1 was trailing behind by thirteen
points. The team started turning up the
heat and shot a few three pointers after
another, just like in practice before the
game. The points started to rack up for
Phi Psi 1 and the championship looked
hopeful. With 50.5 seconds left of the
game, the score was 38-33. Van Horn
found an opening in the right wing and
shot a three-pointer in the last three
seconds, but missed leaving Phi Delt 1
with the three-point victory.
We tried to beat them down low,
Blumhardt said.
Phi Delt 1 said that the hard work
and transitions led the team up to the
championship game.
