guarding the green
Prairie acre
Beginning: 1932
Location: intersection
of Sunfower Road and
Sunnyside Avenue
Signifcance:
According to the
Heritage Plan, Prairie
Acre was one of the frst intentional prairie restorations
on an American campus.
Fun Fact: Photographs of wagon ruts on the south side
of the plot are thought to have belonged to covered
wagons making their way West on the Oregon Trail.

On the northern slope of Mount
Oread, near the Campanile, sits more
than a hundred 40-foot tall, sturdy wal-
nut trees; their black trunks are a stark
contrast to the green grass that envelops
them during the summer.
Rushing to class, students often miss
this forest rooted in the heart of campus.
But Marvin Grove has stood timeless
amidst the rapid changes around it for
more than 100 years.
It has seen the turn of two centuries
and the veterans of both world wars.
It witnessed the civil rights rallies that
threatened to tear the University in two.
And on the sidelines of graduation hill,
the grove stood by as more than 1 mil-
lion students leave the University behind
in pursuit of their futures.
The roots of these trees go almost as
deep as the University itself, anchoring
the grove in the institutions past and its
present.
But weather, age and development are
endangering the existence of the grove
and other natural space on campus.
Despite the cost incurred from pre-
serving natural areas on campus, stu-
dents, staff and others say its something
worth saving.
Theres an ongoing tension between
the need for additional program space
on campus and trying to protect open
spaces, said Peg Livingood, project
manager for the Office of Design and
Construction Management. Every uni-
versity faces that.
Last year, Livingood and several oth-
ers affiliated with the University and
its history compiled The University
of Kansas Campus Heritage Plan
using a $130,000 grant from the Getty
Foundation. The plan provides a his-
tory of the Universitys development and
outlines plans of action looking forward
to both preserve the historic campus as
well as facilitate its expansion.
deveLoPment
Enrollment at the University has
increased nearly every year since its
inception, but never as rapidly as within
the last half century. Fifty years ago, the
student population was about 10,000.
Today, its more than 30,000. And some
expected to go up from there.
Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chan-
cellor, has seen the campus change since
he arrived as an undergraduate in 1962.
He said the problem with development
and green space, or natural areas, is that,
decades ago, those who developed the
initial plans for campus had no way of
knowing how the University would need
the space today.
It would be nice to think that every
time you plant a tree, it stays forever or
until it dies naturally, but on a dynamic
campus, thats not possible, he said.
Although most of the 1,000 acres
on the main campus have been used
for development, several areas of green
space have been preserved, leaving room
for about 10,000 trees, according to 2007
University statistics.
The acquisition of West Campus
in 1970 has allowed for additional
University expansion. However, it hasnt
completely stopped development on the
main campus.
One of the most recent intrusions
marvin grove
Beginning: March 29,
1878 by former Chancel-
lor James Marvin
Location: north of Jay-
hawk Boulevard, south
of Memorial Stadium
Signifcance: According
to the Heritage Plan, this is the most historically signif-
cant landscape on the campus.
Fun Fact: This grove is one of the earliest planted hard-
wood groves on a Midwestern campus.
threat: age and storm damage
Potter Lake
Beginning: 1910
Location: southwest
of Memorial Stadium,
west of Marvin Grove
Signifcance: It was
constructed as a fre
suppressant and be-
came a signifcant social spot on campus.
Fun Fact: Jim Merrill said he remembered taking trays
from the cafeterias and using them as sleds down the
slope and onto the frozen lake.
threat: accumulation of sediments, water run-of and
age
Jayhawk
BouLevard
eLm canoPy
Beginning: early 1920s
Location: along Jay-
hawk Boulevard, stretch-
ing from Snow Hall to
the Memorial Union
Signifcance: It is one of the most important corridors on
campus and among one of the frst landscaping plans from
Hare and Hare.
Fun Fact: Ken Armitage said he could stay dry when walk-
ing the length of Jayhawk Boulevard in the rain without an
umbrella because of the elms.
threat: Most of the elms died from Dutch Elm Disease by
the late 1980s.

Student Senate
Committee fails
to change policy
BY MEGAN HEACOCK
mheacock@kansan.com
A proposed policy change
that would allow easier access to
rooms in student housing failed
to pass in the student rights
standing committee.
Te alcohol subcommittee of
the student rights standing com-
mittee, designated to discuss and
analyze current alcohol policy at
the University, submitted argu-
ments for this policy last night.
Te alcohol subcommittee was
charged to examine all policy re-
lated to alcohol, which inherently
included Student Housing code.
A proposed change to Student
Housing policy would have al-
lowed senior staf members in
Student Housing to have easier
access to private rooms if they
had suspected policy violation.
Members opposed to the policy
had concerns with its efectiveness
in combatting alcohol abuse.
One major concern was that this
policy would infringe upon a
students right to privacy. Devon
Cantwell, executive secretary
of Student Senate, said another
issue with the policy was its lack
of efectiveness in combating
alcohol abuse.
I dont think we, as responsi-
ble student senators, can endorse
this policy as something thats
going to lower drinking or lower
the toxic levels of drinking, she
said.
Leaders from student housing
attended the meeting to defend
the proposal. Mathew Shepard,
All Scholarship Hall Council
president and Norton junior, said
the proposed policy would ad-
dress alcohol abuse by ensuring
education on responsible drink-
ing and resources on campus for
students who violate the policy.
Its about community rights
where all of the residents have a
right to have a safe, productive
community where they can feel
at home, he said. And if theres
a party going on, the ability to
address whos in that room more
quickly and efciently betters
that community as a whole.

Reid seeks support for
health care reform bill
aSSociateD PreSS
WASHINGTON The
political stakes enormous,
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid briefed crucial moder-
ate Democrats before unveil-
ing long-awaited legislation
Wednesday to remake the
nations health care system.
Revealing the bills details
signals the beginning of an
intense struggle on the Senate
floor, where Republicans have
vowed to block the legislation
atop President Barack Obamas
domestic agenda.
Officials have said the leg-
islation would require most
Americans to carry health
insurance and mandate large
companies to provide coverage
to their workers, as well as ban
insurance company practices
such as denying coverage on
the basis of pre-existing medi-
cal conditions.
The bill would set up new
insurance marketplaces
called exchanges primarily
for those who now have a hard
time getting or keeping cover-
age. Subsidies would be avail-
able to help defray the cost of
coverage for people with lower
incomes.
Reid announced two weeks
ago it would also include an
option for consumers to
purchase government-sold
insurance, with states permitted
to drop out of the system.
Reid, D-Nev., summoned
members of the Democratic
rank and file to a late-afternoon
closed-door caucus to show the
bill he has spent weeks writing
and rewriting.
He met in advance with Sens.
Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Mary
Landrieu of Louisiana and
Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas,
Democratic moderates who
have expressed reservations
about the bill.
With the support of two
independents, Democrats have
60 seats, the number needed
to choke off any Republican
delaying tactics.

news 3A THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2009
on green space was the Anderson
Family Football Complex near
Memorial Stadium, which opened
August 2008. The construction of
the complex required the removal
of about 50 older trees, according
to Tom Waechter, assistant direc-
tor with Design and Construction
Management.
Neil Steiner, Tulsa senior, said he
worked for DCM when construc-
tion began on the complex. Steiner
said his boss sent him down to the
site to photograph the trees set for
demolition.
After I took pictures of over 50
trees, I stopped, Steiner said. It
was disheartening to say the least.
Weinberg said the construction
teams were as careful as possible to
minimize the trees removed, and
Waechter said that with the cedars
planted around the new football
practice field and other saplings
planted farther up the hill, more
trees were planted than were cut
down.
Steiner said his involvement
with the destruction of the trees
helped him become more involved
in sustainable engineering. As the
president of the KU chapter of
Emerging Green Builders, he is
trying to engage professors and
peers in a discussion about work-
ing with green space, rather than
against it.
Theres a misconception that
man is in competition with nature,
so were competing against green
space, he said. I think its a pride
thing.
Alumni, veteran staff and cur-
rent students warn against the fur-
ther destruction of historic green
space on campus because of its sig-
nificance to the campuss nation-
ally recognized beauty.
Jim Merrill, 1972 journalism
graduate now living in Leawood,
said he could remember looking
across Iowa Street from his fra-
ternity house on 19th Street and
seeing farmland instead of the
concrete Park and Ride lot.
Its hard to tell people not to
grow, but Im hoping the campus
doesnt get too much bigger, he
said.
Ken Armitage has been affiliated
with the University for 53 years. A
professor emeritus in ecology and
evolutionary biology, Armitage
said that although he didnt think
it was possible to keep all the green
space, it was important to try.
The green space is just as much
a part of campus as its buildings,
he said. If you maintain the cam-
pus heritage, you need to main-
tain these important open, green
spaces as much as the historical
buildings.
Natural causes
The effects of age, weather and
disease are almost as threatening
to remaining green space as devel-
opment is.
Livingood said the population
of historic trees has significantly
diminished in the past 10 years
as the trees reach their life expec-
tancy or fall to the power of Kansas
windstorms and harsh winters.
Armitage has seen first-hand
the role disease has played in the
disappearance of once cherished
landscape.
In 1956, when he first came to
teach at the University, dozens of
American Elm trees lined Jayhawk
Boulevard.
I remem-
ber, in a light
rain, you could
walk on the
sidewalk from
Snow Hall to
the Union, and
the rain only got
through when
you crossed the
street, he said.
Planted in the
early 1920s, the elm canopy was
one of the most significant land-
scape efforts to come out of Hare
and Hare, a landscape architecture
firm that played a major role in the
early development of campus.
During the next 50 years, the
elms grew upward of 30 feet tall.
Then, in the 1960s, Dutch Elm
Disease swept through the coun-
try, claiming the lives of nearly all
of the Jayhawk Boulevard elms by
the late 1980s.
Livingood said a plan was in
place to restore the tree canopy, but
the University lacked the funds to
make it possible.
But its not just restoration that
the University isnt able to afford,
she said. As the University budget
continues to diminish, so do the
funds available to care for existing
trees and landscaping on campus.
We all wish we had a far greater
budget to do that, but they do
a really good job with the bud-
get they have to work with, she
said of the work of Facilites and
Operations.
According to Steven Green,
assistant director with Facilities
Operations, the departments
spending budget was reduced
from $1.36 million in the 2007-
2008 academic year to $1.304 mil-
lion for the 2008 academic year.
Mike Lang, campus landscape
manager, said he had limited the
use of the water truck and stopped
mowing in some areas to compen-
sate for the budget cuts.
tHe Future
Livingood and other develop-
ers expect to consult the Campus
Heritage Plan in the future before
making any drastic changes to
campus.
Among many other things, the
plan identifies significant green
space on campus and proposes
treatment plans to
preserve and restore
the areas. Included in
the report are Marvin
Grove, Potter Lake,
Jayhawk Boulevard
and Prairie Acre all
areas that could poten-
tially be eligible for
the National Register
of Historic Places.
Livingood said she
hoped to get areas on the regis-
try because development on the
land would have to go through a
lengthy process before approval.
And several people agree
without the trees of Marvin Grove
or the tranquility of Potter Lake,
campus would seem like a differ-
ent place.
When youve got that kind
of institutional memory with all
of your alumni, thats something
youd like to preserve, something
youd like to keep, Livingood said.
Its very much a part of KU and a
very important part of KU.

I dont get out much to do

everything this group stands for. I
want to help the
cause.
The foundation
is holding the
fundraiser Friday
from 10:30 p.m. to
2 a.m. , at Cielito
Lindo, 815 New
Hampshire St., for
Brazils National
Day of Racial
Consci ousness.
Earlier Friday at 3:30, former
Brazilian Minister of Racial
Equality, Matilde Ribeiro, will
visit the Universitys Multicultural
Resource Center. She will speak to
students about the issue of race in
Brazil, said Pedro dos Santos, doc-
toral candidate in the department
of political science.
Dos Santos said all profits from
Samba Night will go toward
the Two Brothers school that
University Portuguese Professor
Paul Sneed started when he found-
ed the Two Brothers Foundation.
Clarice Amorim, Racife, Brazil,
senior and president of the group,
said the school served to both edu-
cate and protect youths.
It keeps children out of the
streets, Amorim said. They live
in dangerous places. Who knows
what can happen to them or what
they may get involved with in the
streets.
Scott Montana,
Leawood junior and
member of Two
Brothers said the
group raised $1,200
with its most recent
fundraiser in March.
He said with the rate
of exchange between
the U.S. dollar and
Brazilian real, that
amount of money could fund all
the expenses at the school for two
entire months.
Thats a lot of money for kids in
Brazil, Montana said. Were hop-
ing to get at least that much, if not
more, this time around.
Amorim said Ribeiro, just like
many of the students at the Two
Brothers school, was from a poor
neighborhood of Brazil. Amorim
said she hoped the fundraiser
would help support students at
the Instituto dois Irmos and help
them escape the slums.
Dos Santos said the group had
tried to help Ribeiro visit for a
couple of years, but this trip would
be her first to Lawrence. He said he
thought the timing of her visit this
November seemed perfect.
Dos Santos, who met Ribeiro
personally while conducting
research in Brazil, said Ribeiro
established the National Day of
Racial Consciousness, or Zumbi
Day, while she was minister. She
picked Nov. 20 out of remem-
brance for a famous former slave
named Zumbi. Zumbi managed to
escaped slavery in the 17th century
and form a refuge for other fugi-
tive slaves before being captured
and killed Nov. 20, 1695.
Coming from a family that is
very racially conscious and very
aware and very proud to have the
Afro-descendant heritage, its a
very important day, Dos Santos
said.
After the talk with Ribeiro Dos
Santos said he is looking forward
to dancing at Cielito Lindo with
both experienced and new Samba
dancers.
Most of the music were play-
ing there is my music, Dos Santos
said, smiling. I gave it to the DJ.

barge in.

ing to full senate.
Proposing this policy change was
held of until this fall. Tis change
was presented to the alcohol sub-
committee Oct. 29, and the vote re-
sulted in a tie. Because of this, both
favorable and unfavorable sides of
the vote reasons members sup-
ported and opposed the change
were presented to the rights com-
mittee. Changing the Universitys
alcohol policy has been proposed
twice before, but has never passed
the student rights committee. Al-
though it didnt pass, chairwoman
of the alcohol subcommittee Emily
Williams said those from Student
Housing had given good argu-
ments.
I think there was substantial
debate and Im glad that we were
able to see it in this venue and that
we had representation, she said.
I think it was critical that student
housing had the option to come
and speak.
Te subcom-
mittee also gave
a separate report
with recommen-
dations for com-
bating alcohol
abuse. Tere were
11 favorable rec-
ommendations on
combating alcohol
abuse in the re-
port, which were
presented to the
rights committee.
Te rights com-
mittee voted to pass these recom-
mendations for investigation and
implementation by the Ofce of the
Vice Provost for Success.
Favorable recommendations
generally included increased fund-
ing and advertisement for counsel-
ing resources, more educational
outreach for responsible drinking,
and giving students an opt in
policy for parental notifcation,
similar to the opt in policy for pa-
rental access to grades. Tese rec-
ommendations were discussed by
the subcommittee and presented to
the rights committee as favorable
or unfavorable.
Williams said the majority of the
recommendations were education-
and awareness-based. She said the
committee never considered the
extremes of banning alcohol or
promoting a dry community. In-
stead, the group ex-
plored creative meth-
ods of encouraging
responsible, moder-
ate drinking, while
discouraging alcohol
abuse drinking to
the point of blackout.
While presenting
recommendati ons,
Williams emphasized
that state and federal
laws bound Student
Senate from propos-
ing or passing certain
legislation.
One of the things we have to
recognize is our limited authority.
For instance, we cant lower the
drinking age, Williams said.
Williams said she was very
pleased the recommendations for
combating alcohol abuse passed
the rights committee. Te recom-
mendations passed last night will
be discussed at the next full senate
meeting on Dec. 2.

crime
charges dismissed in
alleged robbery case
Charges have been dismissed
against the man accused in a
robbery on campus last week, ac-
cording to the district attorneys
ofce.
The University of Kansas
Ofce of Public Safety learned
through further investigation
that the alleged incident may
not have occurred in the manner
originally reported. Charles
Branson, Douglas County District
attorney, said in a news release
Wednesday.
Police said the 19-year-old who
reported the crime, who doesnt
attend the University, said he
was walking to his vehicle parked
in the southwest corner of the
parking lot near the tennis courts
when he was approached by two
unknown white males.
The man said one of his at-
tackers held him down while the
other punched him in the face.
He said the attackers took his wal-
let and told him not to call police
before leaving the area in a white
Cadillac. The man said his wallet
with a credit card and drivers
license were stolen.
KU Public Safety Ofce arrested
one of the suspects Friday, a
21-year-old Perry man. The man
was released Wednesday when
the charges against him were
dropped.

NEWS 4A THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2009
BY BETH BEAVERS
bbeavers@kansan.com
More than 150 people from across
the state met at the Dole Institute of
Politics to discuss how wind energy,
biofuels and smart grid technology
fit into Kansas economic future.
The experts advocated these alter-
native energy solutions, but Kansas
and the nation lacks the infra-
structure necessary to implement
them.
Jeremy Viscomi, program officer
for the KU Energy Council, said the
event, the second annual University
Energy Council, provided the
opportunity for federal and state
organizations that specialize in ener-
gy research to share information.
We want to grow energy research
on campus, commercialize it, and
get it to people around the state,
Viscomi said.
Viscomi said the different organi-
zations, which included the United
States Department of Agriculture,
the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory, Westar Energy, Inc.,
the Kansas City Area Development
Council, and Sunflower Electric
Power Corporation, were asked to
focus on three key areas: personal
perspective on energy landscape,
emerging technologies in energy
research, and how those emerging
technologies will affect Kansas.
Kyle Nelson, senior vice president
for Sunflower Electric, discussed
energy alternatives and problems
associated with them. Nelson said
that for these new technologies to
work a massive energy infrastruc-
ture must be put into place. He said
that a new infrastructure could take
up to 20 years to build, and cost $15
billion to $20 billion.
Nelson said the problem with
solar technologies is that once the
energy is generated, it is consumed
instantly and there is no signifi-
cant storage system. Nelson said that
Sunflower Electric was a not-for-
profit cooperative, so it is owned
by the customers that utilize its
services. Because of this business
model, Sunflower Electric cannot
risk significant capital on unproven
technology.
It is a tough problem that will
take decades to solve, Nelson said.
Kimberly Hernandez, Hutchinson
senior, said she was active with sev-
eral student environmental groups
on campus including KU Environs
and Chevron Energy Solutions. She
said that while she had been involved
with many environmentally themed
projects as a student, she attended
the event because she wanted to
learn more about what was happen-
ing at a professional level.
There are a lot of questions
about how to implement the tech-
nologies, Hernandez said. Its an
interesting conversation to have,
because how do you define sustain-
ability? There is no secure defini-
tion. Its great to have the conversa-
tion and define what it means in
terms of the University.
Marvin Duncan, senior agricul-
tural economic with the USDA,
spoke about biomass and biofuel.
Viscomi said biomass plant mat-
ter that can be turned into fuel
and biofuel were important because
Kansas is an agriculture-based state.
Corn, wheat and grass are some of
the kinds of biomass available in
Kansas.
Jim Ludwig, executive vice presi-
dent for Westar Energy Inc., spoke
about a $19 million grant Westar
received to use new smartgrid tech-
nology for Lawrence. The United
States Department of Energy said
on its Web site that the current grid
is limited in what and how much it
can do.
Tim Cowden, senior vice presi-
dent for the Kansas City Area
Development Council, said that the
the councils function was to bring
jobs to the area. Cowden said that
the Kansas City area was full of
alternative technologies, including
wind energy and biofuels.
We want to use talent from our
universities in our area, Cowden
said.
Scott Allegrucci, director of The
Great Plains Alliance for Clean
Energy, or GPACE, said the inclu-
sion of Sunflower Electric posed a
problem because Sunflower had no
research or relationship with the
University. He said he would have
liked to see more speakers discuss-
ing use of natural gas instead of coal,
which Sunflower uses, and see more
research representatives.
Why dont you invite those that
will own and use energy in the
state? Allegrucci said. I suggested
they add someone who can talk
about Kansas renewables and natu-
ral gas, which is a Kansas resource
that is cleaner than coal.
Allegrucci said he had partici-
pants willing to speak at the event,
but the agenda was set and there was
no room for more speakers.

15-year-old indicted on charges of killing 9-year old girl
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.
Blessed with a Friday off school,
15-year-old Alyssa Bustamante
dug two holes in the ground to be
used as a grave, authorities said.
For the next week, she attended
classes, all the while plotting the
right time for a murder, they said.
Prosecutors said that time
arrived the evening of Oct. 21,
when Bustamante strangled
9-year-old neighbor Elizabeth
Olten without provocation, cut
the girls throat and stabbed her.
Why?
Ultimately, she stated she
wanted to know what it felt like,
Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt.
David Rice testified Wednesday
during a court hearing over the
slaying.
Rice, who interviewed
Bustamante in the days after
Elizabeths disappearance, said
she confessed to investigators and
led them to the fourth graders
well-concealed body in a wooded
area near their neighborhood in
St. Martins, a small town west of
Jefferson City.
A Cole County judge ruled
Wednesday that Bustamante, who
has been held in Missouris juve-
nile justice system, should be tried
as an adult. Hours later, the teen
was indicted on adult charges of
first-degree murder and armed
criminal action for allegedly using
a knife to kill Elizabeth. A judge
later entered a not guilty plea on
Bustamantes behalf and referred
her to the public defenders office.
The court proceedings
marked the first time that the
suspect in Elizabeths death had
been publicly identified since a
two-day search for the girl by
hundreds of volunteers. When
they found Elizabeths body Oct.
23, authorities only said that a
15-year-old had led them to it and
was in custody for the slaying.
Bustamante remained largely
expressionless as she sat with her
hands shackled around her waist
in court Wednesday. She occa-
sionally looked down beneath the
brown bangs that covered her eyes
and swallowed hard as a judge
read the charges against her.
On one side of the courtroom
sat her mother and grandmother,
who has been Bustamantes legal
guardian for about half of her life.
On the other side sat Elizabeths
mother, relatives and friends,
several of whom wore pink
Elizabeths favorite color.
Bustamante was ordered held
without bond pending her trial. If
convicted of first-degree murder,
she would be sentenced to life in
prison without parole.
Witnesses at Bustamantes adult
certification hearing described a
girl who was bright yet depressed
and clever in a sometimes sneaky
sort of way. She ranked in rough-
ly the top third of her class at
Jefferson City High School, the
principal said, and had been in no
trouble at school or with the law.
Yet Bustamante had tried to
commit suicide at age 13 and had
been receiving mental health treat-
ment for depression and cutting
herself, said David Cook, the chief
juvenile officer in Cole County.
Once, she led her family to
believe she was attending a local
church event when she instead
sneaked off to a concert in St.
Louis, about two hours away,
Cook said. On one or two other
occasions, Bustamante spent the
night in the woods without permis-
sion, he said.
After her arrest, Bustamante tried
to cut herself with her own finger-
nails while being held in juvenile
custody, said her appointed juvenile
defense attorney Kurt Valentine.
He argued Bustamante should
remain in the juvenile system,
where she could potentially be
rehabilitated before being set free
by age 21.

Students chalk campus for Great American Smokeout
BY ALY VAN DYKE
avandyke@kansan.com
While Monica Saha wrote in
pink and yellow chalk by the steps
of Anschutz Library, onlookers
tilted their heads to read the text:
No Smoking
within 20 feet of
Entrance. It was
written inside a
green semi-circle
20 feet from the
entrance. An
ashtray sat right
inside the line.
Saha, Overland
Park sophomore,
is a peer health
educator with Student Health
Services. She and two other
peer health educators spent
Wednesday afternoon chalking
boundaries around buildings on
campus to illustrate the campus
policy posted on building doors
that warns smokers to stay 20 feet
away from entrances. The chalking
was in preparation for the Great
American Smokeout today.
As part of the nationwide event,
SHS will host informational tables
at Anschutz Library from 11 a.m.
to 2 p.m. to answer questions about
tobacco and provide resources to
help people quit smoking. Weather
permitting, another table will be at
Wescoe Beach at the same time.
Although the University has
participated in the Great American
Smokeout for several years, this is
the first year the students marked
the 20-foot boundary.
A lot of students dont know
about the KU policy, said Ken
Sarber, health
educator with SHS.
We hope to remind
students of the
campus policy.
Chelsea Brown,
Olathe junior, has
a cigarette after
her English class
in Wescoe Hall
every Tuesday and
Thursday. Now that
the weather has
turned, she seeks solace from the
biting cold under the buildings
overpass as she switches the
cigarette from her left hand to
her right to protect her exposed
fingers.
Brown said she tried to stay 20
feet from the entrance because
she didnt want to bother people,
but that she wasnt exactly sure
how far away she had to be. Also,
she said, the ashtrays are usually
closer to the doors.
I dont really know what 20 feet
means, she said. So I just jump
out to have a cigarette and hope
its OK.
The University policy
prohibiting Brown and others from
smoking within 20 feet of building
entrances passed in 1993.
But Sarber said even though
some students were aware of
the policy, the rule wasnt really
effective.
Having that policy doesnt
really change anyones behavior,
he said. Theyre still smoking
right next to the doors.
Part of the reason the policy
isnt effective, he said, could be
lack of enforcement.
The policy
instructs people
to call the
Department of
Human Resources
and Equal
Op p o r t u n i t y
with violations
as a means of
enforcement. Ola
Faucher, director
of the department,
said the department received one
or two calls per academic year.
She said most of the time, the
student violators arent identified.
If we cant identify who the
students are, its very difficult to
follow up, she said.
If it can identify a student, faculty
or staff member, Faucher said,
the department would work with
the chairperson of the program
the violator belongs to. After
repeat offenses, consequences
for students may range from a
formal or informal reprimand to
a student conduct code violation,
which could result in expulsion.
Faucher said the
department had
issued one reprimand
in the time she has
worked with the
department, but
would not disclose
to whom or when it
happened.
Saha said she hoped
the chalk lines would
help people identify
where they can smoke and protect
non-smokers from second hand
smoke.
I hope they realize they
shouldnt be smoking close to the
door and should respect others,
she said.

Incest-related information
found in suspects residence
AssOciATED PrEss
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. The
wife of one of six men charged in a
child sex abuse case recently found
material depicting incest that was
hidden in the familys home,
according to a
search warrant.
The Jackson
County search
warrant issued
last week after
the arrest of
Burrell E.
Mohler Sr., 77, of
Independence,
said investigators seized several
items from Mohlers home,
including four computer towers,
several pornographic magazines
and books, several DVDs, and
cameras.
Col. Ben Kenney, of the Jackson
County Sheriff s Department, said
Wednesday that several booklets
found at the home were about
incest.
The thing that was unusual was
the title and the references, which
were about incest, he said. They
were very explicit. ... It was all on
sex with family members.
He said the computers that
were seized were sent to an FBI
lab in Kansas City for review, and
it was unclear when authorities
would know more about what they
contained.
Mohler, his four adult sons and
his brother, Darrel W. Mohler, 72,
of Silver Springs, Fla., have been
charged in neighboring Lafayette
County with raping and molesting
several young relatives over
roughly a decade beginning in the
mid-1980s. Accusations include
impregnating at least two young
girls and forcing one to have an
abortion when she was 11.
The Jackson County warrant was
issued Nov. 11, the day after Mohler
and his sons were arrested.
The warrant said detectives at
Mohlers home for the arrest saw
numerous magazines depicting
obviously young females (possibly
under the age of 17) and various
age males engaged in sex.
The articles and text of the
magazines described incestuous
sex, the warrant said.
Mohlers wife, Sandra, told
detectives she found some of the
material that made reference
to incest activity among family
members in a false ceiling of the
basement, the warrant said. She
locked the material in a file cabinet
about two months ago, according
to the warrant.
Sandra Mohler said when she
discovered the pornographic
material she made an arrangement
with her husband for him to
move to the basement area of the
residence, where he continued to
live and sleep separately, according
to the document.
Detectives also interviewed a
27-year-old woman living at the
home. The warrant said Sandra
Mohler and that woman were
cooperating in the investigation.
No one answered the door
Wednesday at the address identified
in the search warrant. Calls to the
home also were not answered.

English Alternative Teater to stage fnal performance
BY ALEX GARRISON
agarrison@kansan.com
After 21 years of push-
ing the boundaries, the English
Alternative Theater is closing its
curtain for the last time.
The nationally recognized group
the only theater production
group run by an English depart-
ment in the U.S. is staging its
final performance this weekend
at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940
New Hampshire St. The perfor-
mance will be a full production
of What Really Happened, an
original play by Benjamin Smith,
Rosefield graduate student.
Paul Lim, professor of English,
founded EAT in 1989 as a forum
for his playwriting students origi-
nal work.
It has put on full performances
and staged readings of student
work ever since, giving students
the opportunity to see their work
come to fruition and helping them
develop their writing, he said.
Many students have gone on to
win regional and national awards
for their plays.
Smith said EAT became a great
part of the University because of
its willingness to produce edgy
work and its focus on develop-
ing up-and-coming playwright
voices.
Smith pointed to University
Theatres current production of
Tennessee Williams 1944 classic
The Glass Menagerie as a mon-
ey-making production that helped
students develop as theater actors
and producers, but not as writers.
Its been 60 years since The
Glass Menagerie. I love Tennessee
Williams, but cant someone else
come along? Smith said. EAT
helps find the new Tennessee
Williams.
In the beginning especially, EAT
also provided innovative art to the
community by producing works
written by minority authors.
We were the only ones doing
it, Lim said.
But EATs willingness to push
the envelop led to a constant
struggle to survive economically.
Lim is retiring later this year and
without him, EAT, which has been
funded by small grants and con-
tributions by Lim, will no longer
continue.
Because of budgetary concerns,
the department will not be hiring
another playwriting professor, at
least not in the immediate future,
said Marta Caminero-Santangelo,
chairwoman of the department.
Lim said it was difficult to give
up the extremely rewarding expe-
rience of working with students
and EAT, but said that he wanted
the opportunity to write plays
himself.
Before 1989, I wrote one play
per year, but Ive been a one-man
band with this, he said. Ive only
written two plays since. I want to
be able to write while I still can.
Caminero-Santangelo said EAT
was a huge part of the depart-
ments culture for both students
and faculty.
Its an educational opportunity,
but its so much more, she said.
When it becomes a real pro-
duction, its not just a classroom
activity anymore. Theres a sense
of teamwork to get the play shown
thats why these plays win so
many awards.
Byron Myrick, 1993 graduate
who performed in EAT produc-
tions while he was a student and
is now a cast member of What
Really Happened, said that the
loss of EAT would leave a huge
void in the Lawrence community,
but that he still held out hope it
could continue in some way.
Its so sad to see it go, he said.
I want to try to keep it alive.

Acceptance of gay clergy prompts split in Lutheran Church
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW BRIGHTON, Minn.
The split over gay clergy within
the countrys largest Lutheran
denomination has prompted
a conservative faction to begin
forming a new Lutheran church
body separate from the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America.
Leaders of Lutheran CORE
said Wednesday that a working
group would immediately begin
drafting a constitution and taking
other steps to form the denomina-
tion, with hopes to have it off the
ground by next August.
There are many people within
the ELCA who are very unhappy
with what has happened, said
the Rev. Paull Spring, chairman
of Lutheran CORE and a retired
ELCA bishop from State College,
Pa.
At its annual convention in
Minneapolis in August, ELCA
delegates voted to lift a ban that
had prohibited sexually active
gay and lesbian pastors from
serving as clergy. The new policy,
expected to take effect in April,
will allow such individuals to lead
ELCA churches as long as they can
show that they are
in committed,
l i f e l o n g
relationships.
Op p o n e n t s ,
led by Lutheran
CORE, said that
decision is in
direct contradic-
tion to Scripture.
At a September
c o n v e n t i o n ,
Lutheran CORE members voted to
spend a year considering whether
to form a new Lutheran denomi-
nation. However, its leaders said
Wednesday that a heavy volume
of requests for an alternative from
disenfranchised congregations
and churchgoers prompted them
to hasten the process.
John Brooks, spokesman at the
ELCAs Chicago-based headquar-
ters, said Lutheran COREs move
was not unexpected. He expressed
hope that church members would
ultimately opt to stay
in the denomination
as it strives to be a
place for all people
despite any differ-
ences we might have
on any issues.
Neither Brooks
nor Lutheran CORE
leaders would guess
what kind of num-
bers a new denomi-
nation might attract. Lutheran
CORE leaders believe there is
deep opposition to the new policy
among rank-and-file churchgoers,
but said some may not be will-
ing to actually depart the ELCA
over it.
Brooks said the ELCA has not
seen significant departures yet,
but he cautioned its too soon
after the August decision to read
much into that.
So far, he said, five congrega-
tions nationwide have voted to
leave the ELCA. More have start-
ed the process, with 87 taking a
first vote to leave the denomina-
tion. Of those, 28 did not achieve
the two-thirds vote necessary to
leave the ELCA. In all, there are
10,300 ELCA churches in the
country with about 4.7 million
members.
If a congregation passes the
two-thirds bar on its first vote, it
must then wait 90 days before tak-
ing a second, final vote that also
requires a two-thirds majority.
Other Christian denominations
have seen factions split off over
the gay clergy debate. In 2003,
the 2 million-member Episcopal
Church consecrated its first openly
gay bishop, a move that alienated
American Episcopalians from its
worldwide parent, the Anglican
Communion. The divide has led
to the formation of the more
conservative Anglican Church
in North America, which claims
100,000 members.

Watkins Memorial Health Center
will begin offering free H1N1 vac-
cines to students from 11 a.m. to 3
p.m. Friday.
Todd Cohen, director of
University Relations, said the shot
would be available to students age
24 and younger who show their
KU ID. Students 25 and older can
receive the vaccine if they have
medical conditions such as diabetes
or asthma. The clinic is on first-
come, first-serve basis.
Obviously we wont be able to
get a vaccine for everybody, Cohen
said.
However, Cohen emphasized that
no one was turned away from the
last vaccination clinic, held on Nov.
6. Cohen said that about 600 people
received the vaccine on that date.
You dont need to camp out
its a KU tradition for basketball,
but we dont need to do that for the
flu, he said.
In the meantime, Cohen said the
University encouraged students to
take precautions to prevent the flu.
Cohen also said that the vaccina-
tion would take about six weeks to
kick in.
You cant just take a shot and
walk out and say, OK, Im pro-
tected, Cohen said.
Students can take other preventa-
tive steps. Jarad Gouge, Lawrence
sophomore and desk assistant at
Hashinger Residence Hall, said the
check-in desk on the main floor of
Hashinger offered free masks.
The main concern is the con-
finement issue, Gouge said. The
fact that we have 400-plus students
living in one place and its such a
contagious illness that if one person
gets it, it can spread.
Symptoms of H1N1 include a
fever of more than 100 degrees,
coughing, sore throat, body aches,
respiratory congestion and occasion-
ally vomiting and diarrhea, accord-
ing to the Kansas Department of
Health and Environment Web site.
Students with flu-like symptoms are
encouraged to stay home and isolate
themselves from roommates to pre-
vent spread of the disease.

LOS ANGELES Financially
hobbled University of California
moved Wednesday to boost stu-
dent fees by $2,500 over two years
as students staged raucous dem-
onstrations across the state against
the higher costs.
Fourteen protesters were arrest-
ed at a University of California,
Los Angeles, meeting where a
Board of Regents committee
endorsed a plan that will boost
undergraduate fees, the equivalent
of tuition, by 32 percent in two
stages by 2010. The full board
is expected to approve the fee
increases Thursday.
At the University of California,
Berkeley, more than 1,000 demon-
strators condemned the fee boost
and high salaries for university
administrators. Protesters carried
mock gravestones to represent
programs that have suffered under
state budget cuts and waved signs
reading Save our university.
After a series of deep cuts, and
with state government facing a
nearly $21 billion budget gap over
the next year and a half, Board of
Regents members said there was
no option to higher fees in light
of withering government dollars.
University of California President
Mark Yudof has said the 10-cam-
pus system needs a $913 million
increase in state funding next year,
in addition to higher student fees.
More than two-thirds of the
request would restore previous
cuts. He did not rule out even
higher student fees if Sacramento
cant find the money.
When you have no choice, you
have no choice, Yudof told report-
ers after the committee vote. Im
sorry.
Board members pointed out
that lower-income families would
be shielded from the jump, and
financial aid would help others
defray the higher cost.
The Los Angeles meeting was
repeatedly interrupted by out-
bursts from students and union
members, who accused the board
of turning its back on the next
generation.
We are bailing out the banks,
we are bailing out Wall Street.
Where is the bailout for public
education? asked UCLA graduate
student Sonja Diaz.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. A
police officer in a small Arkansas
town used a stun gun on an
unruly 10-year-old girl after he
said her mother gave him per-
mission to do so. Now the towns
mayor is calling for an investiga-
tion into whether the Taser use
was appropriate.
According to a report by Officer
Dustin Bradshaw, obtained
Wednesday by The Associated
Press, police were called to the
Ozark home Nov. 11 because of
a domestic disturbance. When he
arrived, the girl was curled up on
the floor, screaming, the report
said.
Bradshaws report said the girl
screamed, kicked and resisted any
time her mother tried to get her
in the shower before bed.
Her mother told me to tase her
if I needed to, Bradshaw wrote.
The child was violently kick-
ing and verbally combative
when Bradshaw tried to take her
into custody, and she kicked him
in the groin. So he delivered a
very brief drive stun to her back,
the report said.
The names of the girl and her
mother were redacted in the
report.
Ozark Mayor Vernon McDaniel
said Wednesday that the girl
wasnt injured and is now at the
Western Arkansas Youth Shelter
in Cecil.
But McDaniel said he wants
Arkansas State Police and if
they decline, the FBI to investi-
gate the incident. The state police
declined his request Tuesday.
People here feel like that he
made a mistake in using a Taser,
and maybe he did, but we will not
know until we get an impartial
investigation, McDaniel said.
Police Chief Jim Noggle said
Tasers are a safe way to sub-
due someone whos a danger to
themself or others. No disci-
plinary action was taken against
Bradshaw, he said.
We didnt use the Taser to
punish the child just to bring
the child under control so she
wouldnt hurt herself or some-
body else, Noggle said.
If the officer tried to force-
fully put the girl in handcuffs, he
could have accidentally broken
her arm or leg, Noggle said.
He said a touch of the stun
gun less than a second
stopped the girl from being
unruly, and she was handcuffed,
he said.
She got up immediately and
they put her in the patrol car,
McDaniel said.
Noggle said the girl will face
disorderly conduct charges as a
juvenile in the incident.

SALT LAKE CITY A list of
witnesses in an upcoming compe-
tency hearing for a man charged in
the abduction of Elizabeth Smart
does not include his estranged
wife, even though she has agreed
to cooperate with prosecutors.
Wanda Eileen Barzee pleaded
guilty Tuesday to kidnapping as
part of a plea deal that calls for her
to cooperate with authorities and
be willing to testify against Brian
David Mitchell, her estranged
husband.
Still, her name was not on a
list of 29 people that federal pros-
ecutors say could be called to tes-
tify during the Nov. 30 hearing
for Mitchell. The list was posted
Wednesday on a federal court
docket.
Barzees attorney Scott Williams
said her plea agreement did not
specify at what point she might be
called to provide testimony.
Im not privy to reasons why
the government, or the defense for
that matter, would or would not
call her, Williams said. If we got
a subpoena, shed be a witness.
Telephone messages seeking
comment from the U.S. attor-
neys office and Mitchells defense
attorneys were not immediately
returned.
Barzee and Mitchell were
indicted by a federal grand jury on
charges of kidnapping and unlaw-
ful transportation of a minor in
March 2008. Barzee pleaded guilty
to both counts and is expected to
receive a reduced sentence of 15
years under the plea deal.
Prosecutors contend that
Mitchell, a self-proclaimed reli-
gious prophet, is faking psychiat-
ric symptoms to avoid responsi-
bility for the kidnapping.
Court papers show prosecutors
could call as many as 25 non-
experts and four experts during
the hearing.
The non-experts include
Barzees mother, Dora Corbett,
and several staff members from
the Utah State Hospital, where
Mitchell has been incarcerated.
Among the experts are forensic
psychiatrist Dr. Michael Welner,
who concluded Mitchell is compe-
tent, and two experts in religion.
The testimony will focus on
establishing that Mitchells men-
tal health has not significantly
changed throughout his life, and
he is not preoccupied with reli-
gion, the documents state.
Robert Steele, Mitchells federal
public defender, has said he would
likely call Dr. Richart De Mier, a
psychologist at the U.S. Medical
Center for Federal Prisoners in
Springfield, Mo. as a defense
expert.
De Mier evaluated Mitchell for
federal prosecutors, and court
documents indicate he concluded
Mitchell was incompetent.
Smart was 14 in 2002 when she
was taken from the bedroom of
her Salt Lake City home at knife-
point.
Barzee and Mitchell were arrest-
ed in March 2003.

GROTON, Conn. Te crew
of a U.S. submarine made dozens
of errors before the vessel collided
with an American warship in the
Persian Gulf, an accident that ex-
posed lax leaders who tolerated
sleeping, slouching and a radio
room rigged with music speakers,
a Navy review found.
Navy investigators placed blame
for the March collision on the sub-
marines inefective and negligent
command leadership, including
what they called a lack of stan-
dards and failure to adequately
prepare for navigating the Strait of
Hormuz.
Te Navy Times newspaper
frst reported the fndings Sunday
afer obtaining a heavily redacted
copy of the Navys report through
a Freedom of Information Act re-
quest. A Connecticut newspaper,
Te Day of New London, made a
similar request and reported the
fndings Wednesday.
Te USS Hartford, a nuclear-
powered submarine based in Gro-
ton, Conn., collided with the USS
New Orleans, a San Diego-based
Navy amphibious ship, on March
20 in the narrow, heavily traveled
strait at the mouth of the Persian
Gulf.
Te New Orleans fuel tank was
ruptured and 15 sailors on the
Hartford sustained minor injuries.
Te collision caused $2.3 million
in damage to the New Orleans,
and the cost so far of repairs to
the Hartford is $102.6 million.Te
commanding ofcer was relieved
of his duties and the subs chief of
the boat, an adviser to the com-
manding ofcer, was reassigned.
Te report said the crew of the
New Orleans bears no fault, and
that crew members aboard the USS
Hartford made numerous errors in
the hour before the collision.
Correction of any one of nearly
30 tactical and watchstander
errors, or adherence to standard
procedures, could have prevented
this collision, Adm. John C. Harvey
Jr., commander of U.S. Fleet Forces
Command, wrote in endorsing the
investigations fndings.

PHILADELPHIA The
company that owns the Maersk
Alabama, a freighter targeted by
pirates twice in seven months,
did not heed a request to rename,
repaint or reroute the ship after
the first attack off the coast of
Africa in the spring, former crew
members say.
Ex-crewmen John Cronan and
Shane Murphy said in separate
interviews Wednesday that they
feared and anticipated another
attack after the ordeal in April
when their captain was taken
hostage but eventually freed by
U.S. Navy SEALs.
The American-flagged ship was
targeted again Wednesday, but
private security guards thwarted the
attempt by firing guns and blaring
a high-decibel noise device. The
ship is proceeding under American
surveillance to its destination on
the Kenyan coast.
Obviously shes a hot target, said
Cronan, of suburban Philadelphia.
The bad guys were laying in wait
for her.
Cronan and several other
crewmen have filed suit in Texas
against Maersk Line Ltd. and
Waterman Steamship Corp.,
alleging the companies were
negligent in sending the ship
into known pirate territory with
inadequate protection.
The men are seeking
compensation for physical and
psychological damage they say
they suffered during the spring
hijacking, and for loss of income.
The suit was filed in Houston
because it is the nations second-
biggest port and judges there have
a sophisticated understanding of
maritime law, said attorney Brian
Beckcom, who represents six crew
members.
Dennis McElwee, a lawyer for
Cronan, said crewmen shared
their safety concerns in meetings
with Maersk before the ship was
attacked in April, but the company
did not take sufficient security
measures.
Officials for Maersk Line Ltd.,
which has offices in Madison, N.J.,
Norfolk, Va., and Houston, did not
immediately return calls seeking
comment on the allegations.
Officials at Waterman Steamship,
a company based in Mobile, Ala.,
that supplies crew members to
Maersk, declined to comment.
Cronan and Murphy were on
the Maersk Alabama when pirates
hijacked it the first time and
took Capt. Richard Phillips, of
Underhill, Vt., hostage. Navy SEAL
sharpshooters freed Phillips while
killing three pirates in a daring
nighttime attack.
Maersk made a conscious
decision, despite going into pirate-
infested waters, not to provide
any meaningful security for its
workers, Beckcom said. Instead
theyd just rely on the taxpayers
and U.S. military to bail them out
after the fact.
Murphy, speaking Wednesday
at a news conference at the
Massachusetts Maritime Academy
in Bourne, said he told Maersk
officials that the Alabama should
be renamed, repainted or sent to
ply another route because pirates
would continue to target it.

HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. A
37-year-old father irate over hear-
ing his 15-year-old son had sexual
contact with a 3-year-old girl made
the teen strip at gunpoint, marched
him to a vacant lot and shot him to
death despite pleas from the boy
and his mother, a relative said.
Michigan authorities filed a first-
degree murder charge Wednesday
against Jamar Pinkney Sr. in the
shooting death Monday of Jamar
Pinkney Jr. in the Detroit enclave
of Highland Park.
Defense attorney Corbett
OMeara said prosecutors should
consider evidence of the fathers
state of mind over the sex abuse
report.
If something were to happen
that would cause a reasonable
person to lose control of himself,
that is something the prosecution
would have to take into account,
OMeara said outside Highland
Park District Court.
Tensions were high in the court-
room Wednesday as the hand-
cuffed suspect was led into the
room for the arraignment.
Judge Brigette Officer entered a
not guilty plea for Pinkney, whos
also charged with assault, and
ordered him jailed without bond
until a preliminary examination
Dec. 1.
Caldwell said the sexual mis-
conduct allegation that led to the
confrontation wasnt part of the
police investigation.
The shooting hap-
pened Monday night in
a vacant lot in the once-
prosperous city of 16,000,
where decay, abandon-
ment, fires and demoli-
tion have eaten away at
many of the sprawling
homes. Highland Park
recently exited years of state finan-
cial oversight.
Visitors built an impromptu
memorial with candles and stuffed
animals at the shooting site.
The boys mother, Lazette Cherry,
told the Detroit Free Press that
her son told her he had improper
sexual contact with the girl.
I called and told his
father. This isnt some-
thing you sweep under
the rug, she said.
Cherry said the elder
Pinkney arrived at
the home with a gun,
ordered his son to strip
and marched him outside
despite her protests.
He got on his knees and begged,
No, Daddy, No, and he pulled the
trigger, Cherry said.
Cherry did not immediate-
ly respond to a phone message
Wednesday.

SAN DIEGO Three Marines
and a Navy man convicted of aid-
ing the kidnapping and murder of
an Iraqi man have been ordered
removed from the military, the
Navy said Wednesday.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus
issued the ruling more than two
years after the accusations were
aired in a Camp Pendleton court-
room.
The men had been allowed to
stay on active duty after serv-
ing short jail terms for charges
linked to the death in the village
of Hamdania.
To allow these individuals to
remain on active duty after plan-
ning and participating in kidnap-
ping and murder sends absolutely
the wrong message as to how the
nation and Department of the
Navy view this incident, Mabus
said in a statement.
It degrades
the actions of
thousands of
Marines and
sailors who,
under the stress
of combat in
Iraq, performed
honorably, he
said.
Capt. Beci
Brenton, a
spokeswoman for Mabus, said he
was unavailable for further com-
ment.
The secretary found the killing
was deliberately planned and not
conceived in the heat of battle or
the stress of war, Brenton said.
Mabus also ordered the Marines
to explain why the lieutenant who
oversaw the Camp Pendleton
unit, 1st Lt. Nathan Phan, should
be allowed to remain in the ser-
vice. Phan was not charged in
the case.
The secretary denied clemency
for Pvt. Lawrence G. Hutchins III,
who is serving an 11-year pris-
on sentence for unpremeditated
murder and other offenses.
Seven Marines and a Navy
corpsman from the 3rd Battalion,
5th Marine Regiment were
charged in June 2006 with kid-
napping and murdering Hashim
Ibrahim Awad, 52, two months
earlier. They were accused of tak-
ing him from his home, marching
him to a ditch and shooting him
to death.
Hutchins, of Plymouth, Mass.,
was the only defendant convicted
of murder and the only one cur-
rently in prison.
Navy corpsman Petty Officer
3rd Class Melson J. Bacos of
Franklin, Wis., pleaded guilty to
kidnapping, conspiracy to kidnap
and making false official state-
ments. Marine Lance Cpl. John
J. Jodka III, of Encinitas, Calif.,
pleaded guilty to aggravated
assault and conspiracy to obstruct
justice.
Marine Lance Cpl. Tyler A.
Jackson, of Tracy,
Calif., pleaded guilty
to aggravated assault
and conspiracy to
obstruct justice.
Marine Lance Cpl.
Jerry E. Shumate Jr.,
of Matlock, Wash.,
pleaded guilty to
aggravated assault
and conspiracy to
obstruct justice.
All will get either an honor-
able or general discharge, Brenton
said. They have no recourse to
appeal.
Three other defendants left the
military after their prison terms
ended.
Mabus launched his review
at the request of members of
Congress, including Rep. Bill
Delahunt, D-Mass., who were
seeking clemency for Hutchins.
Attorneys for two of the four
men ordered removed from the
military said the decision amount-
ed to second-guessing officials
who considered the case.
It degrades the
actions of thousands
of Marines and sailors
who ... performed
honorably.

tomorrow night at KJHKs annual
Farmers Ball at The Bottleneck,
737 New Hampshire St.
Tom Johnson, general manager
and program adviser for KJHK,
said Farmers Ball was a station
tradition dating back to the early
1990s.
Its a really good launch pad
for new bands, Johnson said.
Eight bands will perform at
the Bottleneck and four finalists
will advance to Saturdays show
at The Jackpot Music Hall, 943
Massachusetts St.
Logan Nickles, Stillwater,
Okla., senior and KJHK station
manager, said the station received
67 entries this year. The KJHK
staff picked the top eight entries
using a rating scale.
The winner will receive
recording time at Black Lodge
Recording, band merchandise
from Blue Collar Press and the
opening act spot at the KJHK
Stop Day Eve Party Dec. 10 at the
Jackpot.
Bands will advance to round
two by a critic vote and the
audience will select the winner
Saturday.
Though this will be a Farmers
Ball debut for Hidden Pictures,
Gintowt said he has been a regular
at Farmers Ball since he worked
as the music director for KJHK
when he attended the University
from 1999 to 2003.
Ive always thought there was
a really good music scene here
and I still feel that way, he said.
Gintowt graduated with a
degree in journalism and cur-
rently works as a writer and pho-
tographer for Lawrence.com.
The band decided to submit
music to reconnect with the
KJHK music scene, Gintowt said.
He and fellow musician Michelle
Sanders played in Lawrence orig-
inal The Ok Jones from 2000
to 2007 before creating Hidden
Pictures last year with band
members Alan Brandsted, Nate
Holt and Pat Tomek.
Aside from the publicity and
prizes offered to participants in
the Farmers Ball, Gintowt said he
was excited to see other bands in
the competition.
Katlyn Conroy, vocalist and
keyboard player, will be per-
forming with Wild and Wooly
on Friday night. Conroy said she
had wanted to play at Farmers
Ball since she started playing in
Lawrence bars at age fifteen.
The bands in the Farmers Ball
are always very talented and I feel
honored to perform, she said.
Ive been impressed with every-
one who has won in the past.

Gonzaga University commences hate studies academic program
Jayplay
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPOKANE, Wash. Why did
the Nazis hate the Jews? Why did
the Hutus hate the Tutsis?
Hate is everywhere, but the fun-
damental question of why one per-
son can hate another has never
been adequately studied, contends
Jim Mohr of Gonzaga University,
who is developing a new academic
field of hate studies.
The goal is to explain a condi-
tion that has plagued humanity
since one caveman looked askance
at another.
What makes hate tick? Mohr,
director of Gonzagas Institute for
Action Against Hate, wondered.
How can we stop it?
Gonzaga founded the institute
a decade ago after some black law
students received threatening let-
ters. It has since started a Journal of
Hate Studies, hosted a conference
and offered its first class on hatred
last spring.
The hope is that other univer-
sities will follow suit, said Ken
Stern of the American Jewish
Committee in New York, who has
been involved in the effort. We
wanted to approach hate more
intelligently, he said.
Stern, who has spent 20 years
battling anti-Semitism, said the
need for hate studies became obvi-
ous when people started fighting
groups like the Aryan Nations,
which once flourished in this area.
Opponents galvanized against the
Aryans, but didnt really know how
best to fight them, Stern said.
We were flying by the seat of
our pants, he said. There was no
testable theory.
There is not even a good defini-
tion of hate, Stern contends.
Philosophers have offered
numerous definitions: Rene
Descartes said hate was the urge to
withdraw from something that is
thought bad. Aristotle saw hate as
the incurable desire to annihilate
an object.
In psychology, Sigmund Freud
defined hate as an ego state that
wishes to destroy the source of its
unhappiness.
Gonzaga, a Jesuit university
best known for its basketball team,
offered a class on the subject taught
by five professors from different
disciplines.
Student Kayla De Los Reyes was
in that class, and said the informa-
tion both horrified her and gave
her hope.
Hate is something that is part
of the human emotional makeup,
she said. Everyone feels it at one
point or another. You have to learn
to control it.
The goal is to create an aca-
demic home where a variety of
disciplines, including history, psy-
chology, religious studies, anthro-
pology and political science, can be
brought together to focus on hate.
Its the same sort of effort that led
to the creation of disciplines like
black studies or womens studies,
Mohr said.
Such academic efforts are not
without controversy. Some skep-
tics fear they are little more than
attacks on the dominant power
structure.
This stuff tends to be one
dimensional and presumes the guilt
of an archetypal white male, said
Glenn Ricketts, spokesman for the
National Association of Scholars.
Heather Veeder, a graduate assis-
tant for the institute, said the orga-
nization has an important mission.
Hate thrives in areas not illumi-
nated by education, she said.
But Stern said it is too easy to
blame ignorance for hate. People
can have plenty of knowledge about
something and still hate it, he said.
The problem is when one person
or group can separate another per-
son or group from their human-
ity, thinking of them as an other,
Stern said.
We dehumanize them and jus-
tify violence against them, Stern
said.
There is no simple answer to
why people hate, Mohr said. Hate
can be sparked by greed, or fear, or
a tribe bonding together in opposi-
tion to another. People looking to
belong will hate others to fit into a
group, he said.
We can change, Mohr said.
There has to be hope.

Kansas pulls ahead of Iowa
commentary
Mangino
could be
difcult to
replace
By Alex Beecher
abeecher@kansan.com
F
or as long as hes been on cam-
pus, there have been whispers
that Mark Mangino may not
be the most agreeable character. But
they were subtle musings, the kind
of thing everyone seems to think
here, yet no one says. And even
now, we dont know much thats any
more concrete than that. The whis-
pers have gotten louder, certainly.
But I certainly dont know whether
theyre true or not.
What I do know is this: In light of
the football teams recent struggles,
it would not be altogether surprising
if this controversy, ultimately, results
in Mangino losing his job.
And I know that scares me,
because Kansas would have a very
difficult time finding a head coach
who could match Manginos success.
Of course, hiring a new head
coach is always something of a
crap shoot. Do you go with the hot
shot young coordinator, or do you
opt for the coach whos won big at
smaller schools? Perhaps you take
a gamble on a virtual unknown, or
maybe you throw money at a big
name candidate. Whatever route
you choose, there are multiple
examples of similar choices that
could fail.
Charlie Weis had never been
a head coach before Notre Dame
handed him the reigns to its storied
program. Another disappointing
season with first-ever lows, and
Weis looks to be on his way out.
Rich Rodriguez, only in his sec-
ond year at Michigan, had a bevy of
success coaching West Virginia. But
his winning ways have, thus far, not
followed him to Ann Arbor.
And these programs are two of
the most prevalent in the history of
college football. They have tradition
and more importantly, resources
that Kansas football could never
hope to match. Most importantly,
both have the ability to recruit the
entire nation.
Thats a luxury Kansas doesnt
share. Nor does Kansas have the
most bountiful of local recruiting
grounds. Instead, the Jayhawks are
forced to compete against schools
which are bigger, closer and more
football-centric for middle-tier
Texas preps.
All of this is not to say that
Kansas cannot be a quality football
program. What it does say is that
the program ought to be viewed
with perspective.
The stadium is too small. And
even with its small size, the fanbase
clearly doesnt value the football
program enough to fill it weekly.
The new facilities are great, and
necessary, add-ons. But theyre still
nothing compared to the palaces
that exist elsewhere in the Big 12.
And again, Kansas location dic-
tates that, almost certainly, it will
never attract blue chip recruits.
Thats the program that Lew
Perkins would have to sell a poten-
tial head coach on. And no matter
how gifted a pitch man Perkins is
reputed to be, the facts dictate that
Kansas would have to settle, some-
what, in its hypothetical search.
There would be no proven BCS-
conference winners, and no highly-
touted coordinators who have aspi-
rations of landing bigger jobs.
All of this talk is, admittedly, a
bit premature. I dont know what
Mangino did or didnt do and I
dont know what will happen once
the facts do become clear. But even
amidst the malaise, I remember
what Kansas football was before
Mangino arrived. And, whats worse,
I know how easily it could be that
again.

Jayhawks can't beat Cyclones
By ZAch GeTZ
zgetz@kansan.com
The Kansas volleyball team suf-
fered a setback Wednesday night
as No. 8 Iowa State swept Kansas
3-0 in Ames, Iowa. It was the sev-
enth time the Jayhawks have been
swept for the season and the fifth
time on the road.
Although Kansas played even-
ly with Iowa State at times, the
Jayhawks were never able to stay
with Iowa State for a full set,
sophomore outside hitter Allison
Mayfield said.
In all three games it was tied
at some point, but we just couldnt
push through the full 25 points,
Mayfield said.
Sophomore setter Nicole Tate
said she thought the team didnt
give it their all at times.
We just didnt follow through
with the game plan that the coach-
es gave us, and it just wasnt an
all-around effort from the whole
team, Tate said
Coach Ray Bechard said he
didnt fault Kansas effort, but said
he thought Kansas just ran into a
team that is playing exceptionally
well.
There is a great will on this
group to finish strong and try to
extend this season, Bechard said.
But there are times when execu-
tion wasnt quite where it needed
to beat a team in the top 10.
Iowa State was consistent-
ly good through the entire set,
which made it hard to overcome,
Bechard said.
Theyd get a two, three, four
point lead and they are very tough
to catch, Bechard said.
Kansas started out the first set
quickly, pulling out to a 6-2 lead
early, but Iowa State used an 11-1
run to take a 18-12 lead in the
middle of the set. Kansas could
never recover as it lost the set
17-25.
Mayfield and senior middle
blocker Paige Mazour tied for the
Kansas lead with 10 kills each.
No Jayhawk had double-digit digs,
By JAySON JeNKS

Coach Mark Mangino spoke
with the media after yesterday
evenings practice, and once again
answered a handful of questions
about the ongoing internal inves-
tigation launched by the Athletics
Department.
When questioned about
reports alleging he poked senior
l i n e b a c k e r
Arist Wright,
M a n g i n o
declined to
discuss the
situation.
I have done
nothing inap-
propriate and
I cannot speak
about the internal processes tak-
ing place.
During the exchange with
reporters, Mangino repeatedly
emphasized that his focus rests
on Texas Kansas next oppo-
nent. It was a point senior Kerry
Meier echoed.
To tell you the truth, as soon
as we step on the field its like
nothing has happened. I think
thats the right way we need to
approach it.
Mangino also routinely avoid-
ed details or specifics involving
the current investigation yester-
day.
This is an internal process and
I respect the process, Mangino
said. Even though someone
thought it was appropriate to leak
information, it is still an internal

The Jayhawks will have to
recover quickly from Tuesdays
drama when they play host to
Central Arkansas (1-1) tonight.
Kansas continues the Basketball
Hall of Fame Showcase against a
team the school has never faced in
its history. The Jayhawks will be
looking for more offense, as they
were held to just 57 points in the
victory over Memphis.
Scoring almost half of what they
scored against Hofstra, Kansas saw
a significant decrease in offensive
production with Sherron Collins
out, coach Bill Self said.
We dont really understand
yet how were going to score, Self
said. Its amazing to me how one
person taken out of your lineup
changes how the ball moves.
With Collins out of the game,
the team must rely on its young
guards to distribute the ball.
To this point in the season, the
younger guards have struggled
to keep passing the ball, Self said.
He added that it is an easy prob-
lem to fix.

No. 8 Iowa State
overpowers Kansas
in all three matches
The streak was supposed to
end last year.
Four straight conference cham-
pionships was enough.
Losing five players to the NBA
draft was supposed to be the
death knell on an incredible run.
But, somehow, Cole Aldrich
and Sherron Collins rallied a
group of greenhorns into form
just in time to claim an incredible
fifth straight title.
Then Aldrich and Collins
returned, along with those green-
horns that were suddenly playing
basketball at a very high level,
and the Jayhawks were named
No. 1 in the country.
Problem is, it just may be even
harder to win a conference cham-
pionship this year.
Theres this team that plays
their home games in Austin,
Texas, that also returned a pair of
potential NBA draft picks.
That also returns most of
the supporting cast. That also
brought in a ridiculously talent-
ed recruiting class, perhaps even
more so than Kansas.
That also has an impressive
transfer that becomes available at
the halfway point.
I had the chance to watch the
Longhorns dismantle UC-Irvine
the other day and, level of com-
petition taken into account, they
looked like the most impressive
team Ive seen all year.
There was no stopping a once-
more-slimmed-down Dexter
Pittman inside, he finished with
21 points and seven rebounds on
10-for-11 shooting, and the sup-
porting cast looked more than
capable of getting the job done.
Highly touted freshman Jordan
Hamilton was actually more
impressive than more highly
touted freshman Avery Bradley,
but neither was spellbinding, la
Xavier Henrys 27-point debut.
Hamilton dropped 12 to go
with three rebounds, and Bradley
chipped in 10 with two assists.
JCovan Brown, also a fresh-
man, started at the point and
was turnover prone early, but
seemed to settle in as the game
progressed and the Longhorns
rolled 89-42.
Point guard will likely be the
Horns biggest concern, but could
be remedied with the eligibility of
Jai Lucas at the semester long
before they have to worry about
hosting the Jayhawks.
Lucas was an All-Freshman
SEC guard at Florida, but
preferred a change of scenery and
wound up in burnt orange.
Hes a sniper from long range,
shooting over 43 percent from
the outside in his freshman year.
The reason I think Texas looks
like it may be the team to take
the conference is the dominating
presence of Damion James on
the wing.
James poured in 21 points
from all over the floor and added
15 rebounds for his third career
20-point, 15-board performance.
I suspect it wont be his last.
Heres the catch for Kansas
fans.
As good as Henry has looked
early, he hasnt harnessed his
NBA-frame into a top-flight
defensive stopper.
As good as Cole Aldrich was
last year, and as good as he will
be this year, he hasnt proved
that he has the body strength to
hold back a player as physical as
Pittman.
Henry and Aldrich will be try-
ing to deny James and Pittman
and Im not sure theyll be able
to.
In 22 minutes last year, Pittman
beat up the Aldrich-led Kansas
frontcourt for 16 points.
With a more svelte physique,
Pittman should be looking at well
upwards of 30 minutes a game,
and significantly more damage.
In 28 minutes last year, James
had 26 points and six boards.
Granted, Kansas didnt have a
wing in the mold of Henry to
put a body on James, but Brady
Morningstar was no defensive
slouch.
The Jayhawks travel to Austin
Feb. 8 for a game that will likely
decide the Big 12.
Barring injuries, it would be
wholly unsurprising to see both
teams undefeated in conference
and sitting at No. 1 and No. 2 in
the country.
Last year, Texas came into
Allen Fieldhouse with the con-
ference title on the line, but the
Jayhawks were able to hold them
off.
This year, the location will
flip.
Its yet to be seen whether the
roles will.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. John
Salmons scored 23 points and the
Chicago Bulls beat the Sacramento
Kings 101-87 on Tuesday night.
It was the frst game with more
than 100 points for Chicago, which
was held under 90 in fve of its pre-
vious seven games and entered with
the NBAs third-worst shooting
percentage. Te Bulls shot 47 per-
cent and made seven of 12 3-point
shots.
Making only his ffh career start,
Donte Greene scored 24 points
for the Kings, who had won four
straight. Tyreke Evans scored 20
points and Beno Udrih had 13.
Luol Deng scored 16 for the
Bulls. Joakim Noah, the NBAs lead-
ing rebounder, had 15 points and 14
boards.
Jason Tompson scored with
4:25 lef to cut Chicagos lead to
92-83. But the hustling Noah had
a tip-in and Salmons followed
with a 3-pointer to give the Bulls a
14-point lead with 3:16 remaining.
It was the frst matchup between
Rose and Evans, who both played
point guard for one season at
Memphis State before moving on
to the NBA. While Rose was earn-
ing Rookie of the Year honors a
year ago with the Bulls, Evans took
over the starring role at Memphis
and later was the fourth overall
pick by the Kings.
Afer building a 17-point lead
with 4:49 lef in the third, the Bulls
suddenly went cold as the Kings
pulled within nine on two occa-
sions. But Salmons closed out the
quarter with nine points in the f-
nal 1:44 to help Chicago carry an
86-72 advantage into the fourth.

HOUSTON Amare
Stoudemire scored 23 points,
Steve Nash had 16 assists and
the Phoenix Suns recovered
from a slow start to beat the
Houston Rockets 111-105 on
Tuesday night.
Jason Richardson scored 20
points for the Suns, who have
won eight of their last 11 games
against the Rockets in Houston.
Carl Landry scored a career-
high 27 points off the bench and
Aaron Brooks had a career-best
13 assists for the Rockets.
The Suns (10-2) rallied from
a double-digit deficit to win
for the fifth time this season.
Theyre the only team to reach
100 points in all of their games
so far.
Richardsons 3-pointer with
8:11 left in the third quarter gave
the Suns their first lead since the
opening minutes. Brooks hit a
shot from the baseline before
Nash made a pull-up jumper for
his first field goal of the game,
giving Phoenix a 63-62 lead.
The pace of the game picked
up and the lead changed hands
eight more times over the next
6 minutes. Landry dunked and
Luis Scola sank a baseline jump-
er in the last minute of the quar-
ter to give Houston an 82-78
advantage.
Nash returned from a short
rest with 9 minutes left in the
game and the Rockets leading
85-84. He immediately found
Leandro Barbosa cutting inside
for a layup, and the Suns moved
back in front.
The teams traded baskets
into the final minutes before
Nash delivered his 15th assist to
Richardson for a layup with 2:59
left that put the Suns up 100-98.
Brooks missed a short jump-
er and Channing Frye sank a
3-pointer from the top of the
key with 1:51 remaining that
made it 103-98. Landry split two
free throws and Jarron Collins
converted a three-point play to
put it out of reach.
The Rockets finished 9 for
26 from 3-point range, after
hitting five of their first seven
attempts to take a 21-9 lead.
Houston (6-5) also outrebound-
ed Phoenix 14-5 in the opening
quarter and led 34-22.

Womens BasketBall
Jayhawks pull ahead in second half, defeating Iowa
BY Max RothMan
mrothman@kansan.com
It seemed as if only a TV
Timeout could save Iowa from
Kansas demoralizing five-headed
attack.
No. 19 Kansas earned its first
road victory and moved to 2-0 on
the season, beating Iowa 66-55 at
the Carver-Hawkeye Arena. It was
a key victory that was only easy at
the beginning and the end.
With every one of Kansas start-
ers doing her part early, the team
jumped out to a quick 11-0 lead
just four minutes into the game.
Kansas dictated the pace early, as
it ran a quick transition offense
and spread the ball around to all of
their weapons.
Then came an impenetrable
brick wall.
Following a timeout, Iowa coach
Lisa Bluder changed her defense
to a 2-3 zone. The switch was vital
for a Hawkeye turnaround, as the
defense slowed Kansas assault.
Senior guard Danielle McCray
struggled to find the rhythm that
she so easily discovers at Allen
Fieldhouse, missing nine shots
in a row before ending the streak
with a lay-up to finish the half.
Freshman guard Angel Goodrichs
usual ambition was put at bay, lead-
ing her to play a safer and more
fundamental style.
Itll be really good for us to try
to be more aggressive in transition
against the zone, coach Bonnie
Henrickson said.
It took six minutes for the home
team to score its first points, after
starting 0-9 from the field. But the
game abruptly transformed into
junior guard Kachine Alexanders
show, as she finished with 23 points
and 17 rebounds.
Shes a machine, Henrickson
said.
Kachine the machine and the
Hawkeyes fought back with a 13-2
run of their own, setting the stage
for a nail-biting battle of toughness
and poise.
Its hard when the momentum
changes, senior guard Kelly Kohn
said of playing on the road. Its
harder to pull it back.
Despite Goodrich, McCray and
junior center Krysten Boogaard
shooting a collective 5-27 in the
first half, Kansas clung to a 27-26
lead at halftime.
Then McCray started improv-
ing after completing a lay-up, two
consecutive three-pointers, and a
picturesque midrange jump-shot
off the glass. The 4-4 start was just
what she needed after a 2-11 first
half. McCrays lethal second half
helped her finish with 20 points
and 7 rebounds. The superstars
resurrection helped get the rest of
her team going.
Goodrich arrived in the sec-
ond half as she swerved and spun
through defenders, using the glass
to sink highlight worthy lay-ups,
runners and tear-drops. She also
rediscovered the daring edginess
that she is known for, finding her
post players for high percentage
shots with no-look passes. The
young point guard finished with
10 points (all in the second half), 7
assists and 6 rebounds.
She didnt just try to differ and
start throwing around the zone,
Henrickson said.
Sophomore forward Aishah
Sutherland displayed her athleti-
cism and talent on her way to a
double-double, owning the paint
with lay-ups and flexing her most
underrated feature, a steady jump-
shot. Once again Sutherland was a
force, finishing with 12 points, 11
rebounds and 4 steals.
With 1:10 to go, senior guard
Sade Morris showed her expe-
rienced, knocking down a three
pointer in the corner that spaced
the lead to 10 points. It was an
enormous shot that sealed the deal
for a Kansas win that had all five
starters finish in double digits for
points.
Those kinds of teams are
the most successful Ive had,
Henrickson said.
Kansas couldnt quite pull away
until the end. But the win shows
that this team has the grit to hold
on and claim a tight one on the
road.
I thought our kids really com-
peted and battled in a night that
didnt feel very good offensively.

Quote of the day
Key second half performances
Kansas entered the second half leading Iowa by a score of 27-26. Up to
that point, some key Kansas players had sufered from shaky performanc-
es. Freshman Angel Goodrich failed to make a feld goal in the frst half.
Senior guard Danielle McCray also started slowly, making only two of her
feld goal attempts before half time.
Only one consistent point guard
During last nights game against Iowa, senior point guard LaChelda
Jacobs played for fve minutes in relief of Goodrich. While Jacobs did
not turn the ball over, she failed to put points on the board and give her
teammates solid scoring opportunities.
Danielle McCray
After a 2-11 start from the feld in the frst half,
McCray came out of the gates in the second half and
sunk into a rhythm. She shot 6-8 from the feld and
scored 15 of her 20 points in the second frame. She
also snagged 7 rebounds as she led Kansas to their
frst win on the road.
Mccray
Its good to see Angel be aggressive and try to get to the rim when
she couldnt get a jump-shot to fall.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson on freshman guard Angel Goodrichs innovative playmaking skills.
Thats how many bench points Kansas racked up on its
frst road victory. And it came on a single three pointer from
Monica Engelman. Together the bench shot a lousy and hes-
itant 1-8 from the feld in the contest. They will need to play
a much more signifcant role as the season moves along.

Tuesday after-
noon t hat
Athletics Director
Lew Perkins told
Kansas play-
ers in a meeting
that an unbiased
outside person
would conduct
the investigations against coach
Mark Mangino.
Yesterday Associate Athletics
Director Jim Marchiony con-
firmed previously released reports
that associate athletic director for
risk management Lori Williams
would be head up the investiga-
tion.
According to information
provided on kuathletics.com,
Williams works with department
and university-wide constituents
to ensure effective processes
among areas impacted by risk
m a n a g e m e n t ,
i n c l u d i n g
c o m p l i a n c e ,
student services
and academic
support.
Marchiony noted
Williams previ-
ous work with the
Big 12 and NCAA.
Williams was hired
in Sept. 2009.
She is a new employee so she
goes into this review with no pre-
conceived notions, Marchiony
said.
Marchiony said Perkins and
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
Little discussed the situation ear-
lier this week before appointing
Williams to lead the investiga-
tion.
Marchiony said Williams
would be solely responsible for
the investigation.
When we hired her, we really
hired her as someone who would
really look at risk management,
Marchiony said. And this fits
right into that area.
Marchiony declined to com-
ment on the anticipated time it
would take to finish the inves-
tigation, and he also declined
to comment on
the specifics of
the investiga-
tion that alleges
Mangino verbal-
ly and, in at least
one case, physi-
cally abused
players.
It will be a
thorough review
that will be done
as quickly as it can be done,
Marchiony said. And it will be
done as thorough as it can be
done.
Marchiony said that Perkins,
who released a statement two
days ago, would not make any
further comment on the situa-
tion.
Perkins met with members of
the football team to discuss the
internal investigation Monday
night, and Reesing said the meet-
ing was direct and brief.
Mangino addressed the situ-
ation Tuesday but
declined to delve
into specifics.
Kansas is cur-
rently stuck in a five-
game losing streak
and travels to No. 3
Texas Saturday.
You lose a few
games in a row those
type of things sur-
face, Mangino said.
Its not uncommon. I dont take
it lightly, but Im focused on Texas
and Im very comfortable the way
we manage and run the football
program here.
Even though some-
one thought it was
appropriate to leak
information, it is still
an internal process.
MArK MANGiNO
Kansas football coach
It will be a thorough
review that will be
done as quickly as it
can be done.

director
point guard position is center
Cole Aldrich. The offense runs
smoother when Collins is in the
game, Aldrich said.
Its tougher to score, Aldrich
said, because we throw some of
the younger guys in and some of
the guys, like maybe Tyshawn,
that have experience but dont
quite have the experience that
Sherron does.
Sophomore guard Tyshawn
Taylor was called on to step up
for Collins against Memphis, but
Taylor had seven turnovers to
three assists. Self said it was not
Taylors night and Taylor knew it.
You have games like this
and you have
to bounce
back, Taylor
said. Weve got
another game
Thursday so Im
going to try to
come back and
be better.
With so much
talent on the
team, its easy to
get caught up in one-on-one situ-
ations, and that this strategy does
not lead always to successful bas-
ketball, Self said.
We have individuals that are
good players. I mean theyre really
good players, Self said. And as a
coach its kind of that fine line
you want them to be aggressive but
youve got to understand, maybe
theyre not the best players.
Though considered in the same
breath as Collins as the best play-
er in college basketball, Aldrich
looks to his teammate for leader-
ship.
He knows its his team and hes
the general of us, Aldrich said.
GAme notes
Central Arkansas is the second
out of six teams Kansas will face
for the first time in school history
in the 2009-10 season.
The Bears are a member of the
Southland Conference. The only
other school the Jayhawks have
played from that conference is
Texas-San Antonio in 1990.
Kansas is 2-0 for
the third straight
year and is looking
to extend its nation
long home court
win streak to 43
games.
The Bears are
1-1 after defeating
Hendrix 68-40 in
their first game and
lost to Tennessee
Tech 71-67 on Monday. Central
Arkansas has four players averag-
ing in double figures this season

scola leads Rockets past t-Wolves
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS The NBA
season is not yet a month old and it
has already been a long one for the
Minnesota Timberwolves.
Luis Scola had 20 points and a sea-
son-high 16 rebounds in Houstons
97-84 victory over Timberwolves
on Wednesday night, Minnesotas
11th loss in a row.
Trevor Ariza scored 18 points,
Chuck Hayes had 11 points and 10
rebounds and the Rockets hit 12
3-pointers for the win.
Al Jefferson returned to the lineup
for Minnesota after missing the past
two games to be with his grand-
mother, who died last week. Playing
with a heavy heart, Jefferson made
his first eight shots and finished
with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
But he was inadvertantly kicked in
the head by Houstons Carl Landry
while fighting for a rebound in the
fourth quarter. Jefferson remained
in the game, but was quiet for the
final eight minutes as the Wolves
faded.
Houston was playing the second
game of a back-to-back and the
Timberwolves had three days off
in a row. But the Rockets were the
team that played with more energy
throughout. Houston out-rebound-
ed Minnesota 46-36 and scored 29
points fourth quarter to pull away.
The Rockets, playing without
All-Stars Tracy McGrady and
Yao Ming, have been pushing the
tempo at Suns-like speed to try and
compensate. They entered the night
sixth in the NBA in scoring at 103.5
points per game and had topped
100 in 10 straight, their longest
streak since 1995-96.
But they looked a little sluggish
early on after losing to those Suns
on Tuesday night. They had no
trouble getting out on the break in
their usual style, it was the finishing
that was proving difficult.
They committed 14 turn-
overs in the first half to allow the
Timberwolves to hang around.
Minnesota took a 34-29 lead
about midway through the second
quarter when Damien Wilkins
threw down a rebound-dunk. But
the veteran swingman was given a
technical foul for hanging on the
rim, which stunted the momentum
and woke up the Rockets.
Houston responded with a 15-2
run, getting eight points from Scola
in the spurt and took a 48-42 lead
into halftime.
Ramon Sessions had 16 points
and five assists for Minnesota, which
led 67-66 late in the third quar-
ter. But as usual, the Timberwolves
defense failed down the stretch. The
Rockets had little problem getting
to the basket or finding open jump
shots in the fourth, quickly rebuild-
ing a 12-point lead.

Grizzlies beat Clippers for
second straight victory
MEMPHiS, Tenn. rudy Gay
and Zach randolph scored 21
points apiece and the Mem-
phis Grizzlies won their second
straight, 106-91 over the Los
Angeles clippers on wednesday
night.
Marc Gasol and O.J. Mayo
fnished with 16 points each as
Memphis shot 54 percent from
the feld. Gasol also had eight
rebounds and six assists and set a
club record for consecutive feld
goals made, making 15 straight
over a two-game span before a
miss in the third period.
Baron Davis led the clippers
with 23 points, and chris Kaman
fnished with 17. ricky Davis and
craig Smith each scored 12 points.
All of Gays points came in the
second half.
The Grizzlies hit their frst
seven shots, including four by
Gasol, who was 8 of 8 in Satur-
days win over the Minnesota
Timberwolves. Gasol hit three
more before a miss with 3:52 left
in the third quarter, breaking Tony
Massenburgs record established
in 1999.
Memphis shot 59 percent in
the frst half and carried a 55-45
lead into the break. randolph and
Gasol scored 14 points apiece,
while Mayo had 12 points. The
trio was a combined 16 of 20 from
the feld.
But the clippers initially kept
pace as Kaman missed only one
of his frst fve shots, and Baron
Davis scored 15 of the clippers 23
points in the frst period. Kaman
had the other eight.
Davis ended up with 20 points
in the half, while Kaman had 12.
Already leading by double
digits, Memphis opened the third
period with a 9-2 run. That Griz-
zlies would eventually lead by 22
points in the third and were up

LOS ANGELES Kobe Bryant
scored 40 points for the 100th time
in his career, and the Los Angeles
Lakers avoided a rare three-game
losing streak with a 106-93 victory
over the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday
night.
Andrew Bynum had 17 points
and 12 rebounds for the Lakers,
who took a 28-point lead before
surviving Detroits impressive
fourth-quarter rally to avoid their
first three-game skid in nearly two
years, following back-to-back losses
to Denver and Houston.
Bryant didnt appear to be slowed
by his strained groin while scoring
27 points in the middle two quarters
before reaching 40 on a 3-pointer
with 19 seconds left. With four
40-point games already this season
after getting just four all last year,
Kobe trails only Wilt Chamberlain
(271) and Michael Jordan (173) in
40-point games in NBA history.
Will Bynum scored 10 of his 24
points in the final period for the
Pistons, who opened a four-game
West Coast trip with their second
straight loss. Detroit chopped the
Lakers lead to 98-91 with 1:55 to
play before former Michigan State
guard Shannon Brown made three
free throws and a soaring dunk to
seal it.
Bryant led the Lakers in scor-
ing for the 10th time in 11 games.
Andrew Bynum also was steady
again, delivering his eighth game
with at least 10 points and 10
rebounds.
The Lakers still havent lost three
straight games since Pau Gasol
joined the club on Feb. 1, 2008,
although Gasol again was out of
the lineup with a hamstring injury.
Gasol might try to play for the first
time this season Thursday night
against Chicago.
Luke Walton also will be out for
six weeks with a pinched nerve
in his back but Detroit is even
more seriously injury-depleted than
the Lakers, with Richard Hamilton
(sprained right ankle) and Tayshaun
Prince (back injury) still out of the
lineup.
Although Bryant is carrying a
heavy scoring load for the Lakers
early in the season, the former MVP
was revitalized by his first extended
time off in several years following
Los Angeles title. He also worked
on his low-post game during his
summer off, and the results have
been obvious in the seasons open-
ing weeks.
Bryant frequently took Ben
Gordon and other Detroit defenders
into the low post, where he either
used the moves he learned from
Hakeem Olajuwon this summer, or
adroitly passed out of double teams
to set up open jumpers. Bryant also
played with a noticeable edge, jaw-
ing with several Pistons before and
after scoring on them.
Bryant scored 13 points in the
second quarter, making six of his
seven shots while the Lakers went
ahead 57-42 at halftime. He was 6
for 8 in the third, scoring 14 more
points while Los Angeles gradually
increased its lead to 24.

COLUMBIA, Mo. Just last year,
Jeremy Maclin set Missouri single-
season records for receptions, yards
and touchdowns in a scintillating
sophomore season. Then he jumped
to the NFL.
That puts Danario Alexander in
very good company. The senior who
once started ahead of Maclin has
rebounded from four operations,
three on his left knee, and is close to
erasing all of Maclins marks.
With two regular-season games
plus a likely bowl game left,
Alexander is only 22 yards receiv-
ing, 21 receptions and two touch-
downs away from the standards set
by Maclin.
For some reason, he always
gets open, sophomore quarterback
Blaine Gabbert said. Danario is a
big-time threat every time he gets the
ball in his hands.
Maclin had 102 receptions for
1,260 yards and 13 touchdowns in
14 games in 2008. Hes now thriving
with the Philadelphia Eagles, who
traded up two spots to take him with
the 19th pick of the draft.
A couple weeks ago, Maclin real-
ized his records were in serious jeop-
ardy.
When he saw I was getting close
J-Mac called, Alexander said. I
told him, Im coming for it, and he
encouraged me. He told me to go
ahead and do my thing.
The 6-foot-5, 215-pound
Alexander isnt all the way back from
the latest surgery less than a year ago.
Entering the season, he was not con-
sidered first-round material given
concerns over his ability to make
precise cuts.
A lengthy highlight reel should
answer any doubters. Alexander has
a 40-inch-plus vertical leap, enabling
him to effortlessly elevate over a
Kansas State defender for one of his
three scores last Saturday. He has
cat-like balance, landing on the run
after his leaps or pivoting away from
tacklers. He has enough speed, 4.4
seconds in the 40-yard dash, to win
footraces for touchdowns of 84 and
80 yards the last two weeks.

CALGARY, Alberta Ryan
Wilsons first NHL points fittingly
came against the team that traded
him away.
The Colorado rookie scored
his first career goal and added
an assist, Milan Hejduk got the
game-winner and the Avalanche
beat the Calgary Flames 3-2 on
Tuesday night.
Originally signed as a free agent
by Calgary on July 1, 2008, Wilson
was dealt to Colorado last March
along with forward Lawrence
Nycholat and a draft pick for
defenseman Jordan Leopold.
I didnt really play with them
but its always nice to score on
your old team or old organiza-
tion, Wilson said. Im just happy
to get the win and to score my first
goal in a winning game. Certainly
Ill remember this one but I have
to keep playing this way and
hopefully this little streak Im on
continues.
Cody McLeod also scored and
Paul Stastny had two assists to
help the Avalanche (13-5-3) move
three points ahead of the Flames
(12-5-2) for the top spot in the
Northwest Division.
Jarome Iginla had his 12th
goal of the season and eighth
in his past seven games and
Rene Bourque also scored for the
Flames, who had earned points in
each of their previous six games.
Avalanche goalie Craig
Anderson made 34 saves and the
defense blocked 24 more shots to
keep Calgary off balance.
Their D seemed to get in
front of every shot, Bourque said.
The last time we played them,
same thing. They did a good job
of taking our space away and they
got big in front of you.
Calgary goalie Miikka
Kiprusoff made 21 saves as he lost
in regulation for the first time in
November.
Aided by an early power play,
the Flames had the first six shots
of the game but couldnt get one
past Anderson.
The Avalanche then bounced
back to send seven straight shots
at Kiprusoff, scoring on one. After
Kiprusoff made two straight pad
saves on shots by Wojtek Wolski,
Wilson crept in off the point and
picked up a loose puck in the
slot before backhanding a shot
into the Calgary
net eight minutes
into the game.
The puck was
in there for a
while and I think
everyone just got
tied up and the
puck squirted
loose, Wilson
said. The goalie
was down so I
moved to the side and put it in
there.
At 11:39 of the second period,
Curtis Glencross spotted Iginla
wide open in the high slot and
sent him a perfect pass that the
Calgary captain one-timed into
the top corner past Anderson.
About five minutes later, with
the Avalanche on the power play,
Bourque snapped a shot into the
top corner over
Andersons out-
stretched glove to
put Calgary up 2-1.
Prior to the play,
Avalanche defense-
man Kyle Quincy
broke his stick when
he took a slap shot
from the point.
Dustin Boyd alertly
picked up the puck
and sent it to Jay Bouwmeester,
who feathered a great cross-ice
pass to Bourque on the left wing
in the Colorado zone.

Artist trades house for music dream
AssociAted Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Terverius Black believes in hip-
hop gospel so much he sold his
first home to get the money need-
ed to start his Christian-themed
entertainment company.
It was a risky move, but the
34-year-old entrepreneur believes
the companys diversity, which is
producing music, a film, a real-
ity television show and a gospel
cruise, will help boost a strug-
gling genre of Christian music.
Secular hip-hop used radio as a
launching pad, but holy hip-hop
gets little play on regular hip-hop
stations and nearly none on gos-
pel or Christian radio.
Its tough, but weve got to get
a little more creative, said Black,
who started Huntsville, Ala.-
based Xist Worldwide Record
Label three years ago with Sean
Simmonds.
Both men point to hip-hop
moguls like Sean Diddy Combs,
Jay-Z and Russell Simmons, who
succeeded branching outside the
music industry. Even though their
message is faith-based, Black and
Simmonds said they believed they
could find the same success.
Were trying to create our own
blueprint for gospel, but at the
same time, make it so that its
respected across the board, and
can be followed, Simmonds, 32,
said.
Hip-hop gospel has been
around nearly two decades, but
many followers say it didnt start
getting recognized until a few
years ago. So far this year, there
have been more than 500,000 CD
and digital sales of hip-hop gos-
pel, according to the Christian
Music Trade Association, which
operates Christian SoundScan.
Supporters also point to an
increasing number of hip-hop
gospel fan Web sites.
I think holy hip-hop music
is starting to make a move, said
Danny Wilson, a former road
manager for rapper-actor LL Cool
J and the main organizer of the
Holy Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta.
Look how long it took regular
hip hop to take. Youre talking
about 25 to 30 years for it to really
make an impact to the point that
its a driving culture thats known
all over the world.
Wilson said better air play of
hip-hop gospel would make it
a more effective tool in reach-
ing the unchurched. He cited a
syndicated two-hour radio show
sponsored by Holy Hip Hop
Awards that airs once a week in
about 100 cities.
We get letters from prison all
the time, Wilson said. One man
wrote, I wish I had this music
when I was out on the street, it
might have saved my life.

T
he student rights
committee should be
applauded for voting
against the student housing
recommendation for policy code
revision. The revisions would have
imposed upon students privacy
right in the residence halls and
the student rights
committee made
the right choice by
voting it down.
The code
currently does not
allow a resident assistant to enter
a residence hall room without the
express consent of the resident.
They can write down that there
was suspicion of a policy violation
in the room and the residents
of that room would then have
to go to a hearing to defend
themselves.
The proposed changes in
the code would have allowed
authorized housing personnel
to address a suspected policy
violation occurring within the
room or apartment, in accordance
with housing procedures.
These changes were proposed
after the two deaths that occurred
on or near campus last year, but
the changes were more aimed
at stopping policy violation
in the resident halls. Neither
death, however, occurred in a
residence hall. One happened in
a fraternity, which is regulated by
the Interfraternity Council but
not the department of student
housing, and the other happened
in a scholarship hall. The proposed
policy changes would have done
nothing to prevent these deaths.
The housing policy now
allows entry without notice in
emergencies where
imminent danger to
life, safety, health, or
property is reasonably
feared. This policy
is effective and the
proposed changes are not
only unnecessary but have the
potential threat of abuse of power
by housing personnel.
While the changes allow
students to have the initial right
to refuse entry under the policy,
the students rights still have the
risk of being violated by a senior
staff member who, under the
proposed policy, could enter the
room under suspicion of policy
violation.
Even some people in support
of the new housing policy, such
as Diana Robertson, director of
student housing, didnt think
the policy would be completely
effective at what it was designed
to do.
In a letter showing her support
of the proposed change Robertson
said Does this policy eliminate
toxic drinking? Probably not.
But it does, however, have the
potential to change one of the
components of a campus culture
involved in the misuse of alcohol
and drugs.
It is unacceptable for students
rights to be put at risk for a policy
that has only the potential to
change a problem.
In her letter Robertson also
said that many campuses across
the country have a policy like the
one proposed here. The truth is
that they rarely put the policy to
use.
This begs the questions if it
doesnt work at other campuses,
why would it work here? And
those advocating the proposed
policy changes at the meeting,
such as the representatives from
student housing, did not answer
this question effectively.
The alcohol-related deaths on
campus last year were a tragedy,
and action certainly needs to be
taken to keep incidents like them
from happening again, but the
proposed policy changes were not
the answer. The student rights
committee made the right decision
in voting against the changes
and they protected the rights of
students. The administration
should respect and uphold this
decision.

W
hen thinking of
addictions theres
a few obvious ones
such as alcohol, drugs and sex.
Mine was tanning.
I first lay in a tanning bed
shortly after my 16th birthday.
My mom had seen her brother
die from melanoma before
he graduated college and was
adamantly against it. Still, from
the first time those fluorescent
lights buzzed, I was hooked.
I was a sun worshiper long
before my affair with indoor
tanning began. The swim team
practices I attended daily as a
child were replaced with life-
guarding as a teen. The freedom
of a drivers license simply
allowed me to continue bronz-
ing during colder months.
Being naive, I had no clue
how much damage I was doing
and how psychological the pro-
cess of tanning actually was.
Arielle Kauver, associate pro-
fessor of dermatology at New
York University, said in a inter-
view for National Geographic
magazine that tanners usu-
ally associate darker skin with
health and beauty. Kauver
acknowledged tanning addic-
tions are as real as gambling
addictions.
A news release from the
Archives of Dermatology,
written by University of Texas
at Galvaston dermatologist
Richard Wagner and his col-
leagues, said obsessive tanners
often chase an endorphin buzz
that some scientists believe
accompany exposure to ultra-
violet light.
Ive felt that feeling: the
desire to lie in a bed, soak up
the sun or just be tan in general.
Ive never picked up a bottle of
self-tanner or looked into alter-
natives.Theres something about
being exposed to sunlight,
real or fake, thats always been
appealing to me.
I adored tanning and chose
to disregard information that
discouraged my habits. Before
formal dances, I competed with
friends to be the tannest girl in
her gown. I even did a report in
high school about the benefits
of tanning and sun exposure
including research suggesting
skin cancer had more to do with
genetic factors than ultraviolet
radiation. In college, I bought
unlimited semester-long tan-
ning packages. I never burned. I
wasnt worried.
Then this summer a study
came out I couldnt ignore. A
new analysis, using more than
20 different studies, suggests
the risk of skin cancer jumps at
least 75 percent when a person
uses a tanning bed under the
age of 30. These studies labeled
tanning as carcinogenic, putting
tanning beds in the same league
as the cancer-causing product
tobacco.
Ive seen dozens of commer-
cials and ad campaigns about
the harms of smoking. Why is
there so little attention devoted
to tanning?
I havent tanned indoors
for more than six months and
wearing sunscreen is now a part
of my daily routine. I thought
Id be insecure and pale as a
result of my responsible deci-
sion, but the truth is I am a bit
embarrassed and disgusted with
my tanning past. How imma-
ture is it to seriously risk my
health for vanity?
If you tan, please stop. Think
about your future. A tempo-
rary glow is never going to be
worth risking your life. If youre
still not convinced, consider
a study from the Skin Cancer
Foundation that found 64 per-
cent of people do not find those
with a tan more attractive. See?
You can be beautiful and smart.

Use that wishbone wisely
Bold predictions
Yes, the GOP did gain two
governorships, as Chet Comptons
Nov. 12 column Republicans
gain momentum with recent
wins made clear. Tat is an un-
questionable fact. But why?
Cree Deeds, the Democratic
governor of Virgina, was
nothing short of famous for
his incompetence. Kudos to
the Republican candidate Bob
McDonald. His campaign
barely had mentioned he was a
Republican. Instead, his campaign
pointed out that the best his
opponent could was come up
with negative attack ads and that
McDonald actually had solutions
for the problems. Te R in front
of his name had very little to do
with his victory.
As for New Jersey, the Demo-
cratic governor Jon Corzine was
another example of a low-lying
fruit and was also famous for be-
ing corrupt. He was fghting of so
many ethics scandals it was hard
for him to have time to campaign.
And may I point out that corrup-
tion is fairly universal.
But lets look at something else
that happened in that election
night.Te GOP lost two more
seats in the House of Representa-
tives. One of them being a seat
that hasnt sent a Democrat to
Washington since the 1870s,
largely because the Republicans
decided to ditch the moderate for
another bible-thumper.
I dont know about you, but
losing two seats in the House to
gain two governors doesnt seem
like gaining momentum. My
predictions for 2010 and 2012?
Yes, the GOP will gain a few seats.
Last time they werent able to
do so during a new Democratic
presidency was during the New
Deal. But unless the party returns
to sane ideas based in reality, the
seats gained will be symbolic at
best.

TOPICS OF
RELEVANCE
T
hanksgiving is next week,
and if youre like me, you
cant wait to commemo-
rate the Pilgrims great feast by
eating until you wish you had
never even heard of food. But
there is more to the holiday than
festive engorgement.
Many people wonder
about the origin of the name
Thanksgiving. As an esteemed
language scholar, I have done
much research on the mat-
ter and have ascertained that it
comes from a combination of
the English thanks and the
English giving, meaning to give
thanks.
Indeed, the Pilgrims had much
to be thankful for, such as the
new atmosphere of total religious
tolerance and their entirely peace-
ful co-existence with the natives.
(In the interest of full disclosure,
it should be noted that I have not
taken a history class since kinder-
garten.) And it is tradition for us
to consider what were thankful
for this time each year.
In this economy, however, we
cant afford to be thankful. For
example, I could think about how
thankful I am that I can still use
the phrase in this economy to
instantly make whatever I say
seem weighty and insightful, but
what would that accomplish?
In the time I took to think that
thought of thanks, I could have
thought 20 thinks about how to
make more money.
All this is why we need to
take advantage of the other great
Thanksgiving tradition: the wish-
bone. Yes, we all say were thank-
ful as were sitting around the
dinner table, but the entire time
we have one eye on the magical
fused clavicle that has the power
to make our wildest dreams come
true. We know that if we can get
our mitts on that thing and snap
it in our favor, all our problems
could be solved. World peace,
true love or even a functional pri-
vate jet made entirely of bacon is
just one bone fragment away.
Now, Im not a superstitious
man. Sure, I may continue to
blame my misfortunes on a mir-
ror I broke when I was 9, and I
may be on PETAs most-hated list
for my mass acquisition of rabbits
feet. And yes, I may have even
had a witch doctor place a curse
my seventh-grade English teacher
after she gave me a B- on a paper.
But that doesnt mean Im not a
man of science. And based on
what I choose to believe is scien-
tific, wishbones indeed work.
What I propose is a panacea for
all the problems facing America.
Unemployment, health care and
even Jay Leno could all be solved
by saving all the wishbones this
Thanksgiving and donating them
to the Alex Nichols Wishbone
Redistribution Foundation. I will
collect these wishbones and give
them to those who need them
most, which may or may not
include myself.
Before you charge me with
being a socialist, I should remind
you of the competitive aspect of
this plan. We wont be simply
donating the largest part of each
wishbone to the needy. Well
pit the needy against each other

pete against a college kid with
two broken legs and no health
insurance to see whose wish gets
granted. Im already in talks with
FOX to air it in prime time.
So when you sit down for din-

beloved family pet. Donate them
to me. Together we can give
America something to really be
thankful for.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. The
ligaments in Kyle Ortons left ankle
are torn. He certainly isnt.
Orton adamantly wants to start
Sunday against San Diego and help
the Denver Broncos snap out of a
monthlong funk that has wiped
out their 3-game cushion over
the Chargers in the AFC West.
Plus, how can he convince the
front office that he should be in
the teams long-term plans if hes
standing on the sideline sending
in signals instead of running Josh
McDaniels offense?
Orton, in the final year of a con-
tract that pays him a relatively pal-
try $1 million, has played through
enough leg injuries to know its
not wise to rush back into action
before hes healthy.
He just wasnt the same quarter-
back in Chicago after spraining his
other ankle midway through last
season. His interceptions piled up,
his passer ratings plummeted and
he never rediscovered the touch
he had early in the season after
he was carted off the field with a
sprained ankle against Detroit on
Nov. 2.
Eventually, the Bears soured on
Orton and sent him and a bevy
of draft picks to Denver for Jay
Cutler.
Still, his defiance was palpable
Wednesday before he sat out prac-
tice.
I came back last year as soon as
I could and Ill do the same thing
this year, Orton said.
He acknowledged, however,
that he rushed back into action
last season after sitting out one
game. He suffered through a 37-3
loss at Green Bay upon his hasty
return, commencing a spiral that
ended his tenure in Chicago.
I wasnt even close for the
Green Bay game, Orton admitted.
Thats just how it is. I dont know
if anybody is feel-
ing 100 percent
right now on our
team. Its been a
physical season
and Im no dif-
ferent.
So, his mind-
set is hes the
starter unless and
until McDaniels
decides by weeks
end that Simms is.
Ill come back as fast as I can
and try to lead the football team
and try to be in the huddle just
like everybody else, Orton said.
In this sport youve
got to play when you
are dinged up and the
quarterback is no dif-
ferent.
Besides, Orton
said, this injury isnt
anything like the one
he had a year ago
with the Bears.
A different foot
and a different deal.
So, its different, he insisted. Its
not the same foot or the same type
of thing. I played with leg injuries
in the past. I hope I can do it this
time.
You know, last year was so
tough because it was pushing off
and that was my back leg, so that
was tough. This will present a dif-
ferent challenge, Im sure, but well
see if I can play through it.
The Broncos, trying to avoid
becoming just the third team in
the Super Bowl era to miss the
playoffs after winning its first six
games, will either send out a quar-
terback with a puffy ankle against
the Chargers or one who hasnt
started a game since 2006.

Johnson adds depth
to Bengals backfeld

head coach Marvin Lewis, left, as he speaks during a news conference at Paul Brown Stadium,
Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2009 in Cincinnati.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI Another
troubled player trying to revive
his career? Nothing new for
Cincinnati.
Most Bengals players were
unruffled Wednesday by the
signing of running back Larry
Johnson, brought in for the rest
of the season in whats been
described as a reserve role to
help the AFC
North leaders
should they have
an injury.
W e v e
definitely got
a history with
picking up guys
that other teams
are going to shy
away from and
having success
with them, so hopefully it will be
a success, quarterback Carson
Palmer said, reflecting the
sentiment in the locker room.
The most telling reaction came
from the player who could be
affected most. Running back
Cedric Benson didnt have much
to say.
The Bengals signed Johnson for
the rest of the season on Tuesday,
giving them another running back
in case Bensons injury lingers.
He had to leave an 18-12 win in
Pittsburgh on Sunday because of
sprained hip muscles. He didnt
practice Wednesday.
After a light morning workout,
Benson didnt have much to say
about the teams decision. Told
that he didnt appear to be thrilled
with the move, he smiled.
Oh, I didnt know I was
supposed to be jumping out of my
seat or anything, Benson said.
I really have no feelings
about it, he added. They made
a move they felt they needed
to do, and thats fine with me,
whatever decisions they make
in that area. Its not
going to affect me
in any kind of way.
Whatever happens
from here on, I can
guarantee you Ill
definitely be making
the best of it.
Itll be one of the
interesting subplots
during their drive
for the playoffs.
By sweeping the Steelers and
the Baltimore Ravens the
teams that played in the AFC title
game last season Cincinnati
(7-2) put itself in control of the
division. The Bengals lead the
Steelers by a game, and have the
important tiebreakers in their
favor.
Plus, theyve made it through
the most challenging part of the
schedule. The next three games
are at Oakland (2-7), then home
against Cleveland (1-8) and
Detroit (1-8). Theres also a home
game against Kansas City (2-7)
left.

SAN ANTONIO Defending
champion Connecticut arrived in
San Antonio five months before
the Final Four begins here.
But from the looks of it, the
top-ranked Huskies are already
playing like its April.
Maya Moore had 20 points and
11 rebounds and Connecticut had
no trouble with what was sup-
posed to be its first real test of
the season, easily beating No. 10
Texas 83-58 on Tuesday night
in yet another blowout during
the Huskies 41-game winning
streak.
Against ranked or unranked
teams, whether in November or
April, it hasnt mattered in a long
time for the Huskies. After win-
ning by an average of 30 points last
season, UConn dominated Texas
after demolishing Northeastern
105-35 in its season opener.
There are a lot of things that
came out of tonight that were
good for our team, things youd
like to know about your team
but you wouldnt find out unless
you played a pretty good team
on the road, UConn coach Geno
Auriemma said.

COLUMBIA, Mo. Frontcourt
scoring was supposed to be
Missouris question mark. In the
Tigers regular-season opener on
Tuesday night, it was more like an
exclamation point.
Forward Laurence Bowers came
off the bench to score 16 points and
Keith Ramsey added a career-high
15 as Missouri rolled to an 83-68
victory over Tennessee-Martin.
After losing forwards DeMarre
Carroll (16.6 points a game in
2008-09) and Leo Lyons (14.6)
from a squad that finished one
game from the Final Four, Missouri
(1-0) needed contributions from
such players as Bowers and Steve
Moore, both sophomores, and
Ramsey, a senior. None of them
averaged more than 14 minutes
last year.
It appeared Tuesday that they
were ready to assume the respon-
sibility. Bowers, who last year was
known more for his explosive
dunking than all-around play, had
a career-high eight rebounds and
blocked four shots.
I came into this year trying to
be an all-around guy, Bowers said.
I didnt want to base my game on
offense or highlight plays.
Missouri coach Mike Anderson
said of Bowers, Hes not just a
dunker anymore. People are going
to have to guard him.
The 6-foot-9 Moore dropped 40
pounds during the off-season to
get down to a listed weight of 264.
He had a career-high seven points
in 18 minutes.
I can compete (more) this year
versus last year, Moore said. I was
a lot heavier. Im a hundred times
more ready.
The Tigers had 45 points off the
bench.
I think it was a team effort,
Anderson said. They all really
wear and tear.
UT-Martin (0-2) kept the game
somewhat close in the first half,
trailing by 12 at halftime thanks
in part to 13 points from junior
Benzor Simmons, who finished
with a game-high 30. But with
only eight players dressed, the
Skyhawks wore down, committing
23 turnovers.
Junior guard Reuben Clayton,
UT-Martins leading scorer in its
opener against Southern Illinois,
was not in uniform. Neither was
top returning scorer Marquis
Weddle, who is ineligible until at
least Christmas.
We just got worn down, first-
year Skyhawks coach Jason James
said. We couldnt run guys in like
we wanted to, and as they kept
pressing, our guys got tired.
Missouri got 10 points from
sophomore Marcus Denmon and
seven from highly-touted fresh-
man Michael Dixon.
The Tigers had a scary moment
when senior guard and 2008-09
Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the
Year J.T. Tiller left the game after
a hard foul.

college basketball
By HALLIE MANN
hmann@kansan.com
For each game, the womens
basketball players know what
jersey, shoes and warm-ups to
wear, but when it comes to a job
interview, the answers sometimes
arent as clear. Thats where Hoops
to Heels, a mentor program for
the womens basketball team,
comes into play.
WaRMINg UP
For most student athletes, every
minute goes into practicing, com-
peting and school. Senior guard
Kelly Kohn said she realized that
there was life after basketball,
and that she needs to be pre-
pared to go into the real world.
Through the Hoops to Heels pro-
gram, Kohn has developed basic
interview skills and learned how
to build a rsum. Kohn said it
was the small things such as
etiquette and dress code that
have helped her
feel more com-
fortable as she
made the transi-
tion as a student
going into the
job world.
I dont feel
like Im going
to be thrown to
the wolves when
I get out there,
Kohn said.
Kohn also
said the program brings in profes-
sional women to speak and prac-
tice basic skills of professionalism
with the team. Kohn, who said
she wanted to work in the sports
marketing or broadcast field after
she graduates, has been able to
sit down with women who work
for ESPN to get an inside view to
what the field is like.
keY PlaYeRs
One of the women who has
worked with the players is Diana
Robertson, director for the
department of student housing
at the University. Robertson has
been a part of the program since
its inception in April. Community
members, faculty and profession-
als like Robertson work with the
program in hopes of inspiring the
players to look beyond their col-
lege basketball careers.
Trena Anderson, the director
of womens basketball operations,
said the program had been in the
works for about three years.
These women we work with
want us to be successful, Kohn
said. Theyre committed to help-
ing us with what we want to do.
Its going to take a lot of hard
work and patience to succeed and
become like these women, senior
guard Sade Morris said.
FUtURe staRDoM
Morris said she wanted to con-
tinue with basketball as a coach
or maybe go into teaching after
she graduates. Morris said she
appreciates getting the extra help
for career develop-
ment. The mentors
guidance in mock
interviews and
social networking
have shown Morris
what shell need for
life after college, she
said.
Anderson said it
was an opportunity
for the players to talk
about something
other than basketball. She said
coach Bonnie Hendrickson want-
ed players to be well rounded and
expected them to represent the
team well in their futures.
The players need to realize
they can wear something other
than sweats to class everyday and
that they should if they want to
be recognized as professionals,
Anderson said.

Despite turning ball over 14 times, Illini defeat Northern Illinois 80-61
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Brandon
Paul scored all 20 of his points in
the first half, leading No. 23 Illinois
to a 80-61 victory over Northern
Illinois on Tuesday night.
Paul, a freshman guard, had 14
of Illinois first 21 points. He fin-
ished 6 of 16 from the field, includ-
ing 4 of 8 from beyond the arc.
Pauls outside shooting opened
the lane for 7-foot-1 center Mike
Tisdale and 6-9 forward Mike
Davis. The two big men combined
to shoot 7 of 15 with Davis and
Tisdale scoring 14 and 10 points,
respectively. Davis added a career-
high 17 rebounds for his 11th
career double-double.
Foul trouble by Demetri
McCamey forced Illinois head
coach Bruce Weber to give fresh-
men Paul and D.J. Richardson
more minutes, though turnovers
were a problem. The Illini gave the
ball away 14 times while recording
only 15 assists. The Illini turnovers
resulted in 17 Huskie points.
Richardson and Paul struggled
handling the ball at times, but the
team made up for it on the defen-
sive end. Illinois had 10 blocks
while holding the Huskies to 36.8
percent shooting, including 26.3
percent from behind the 3-point
line.
Illinois shot 43.5 percent from
the field. McCamey had eight
assists.
Northern Illinois gave Illinois
(2-0) a scare at the end of the half,
going on a 14-3 run to close the
gap to 49-41 on a half-court buzzer
beater by the Huskies Byran Hall.
After cutting Illinois lead to
three on a layup by Najul Ervin
with 18:30 left in the game, a dunk
by McCamey off a steal and an
assist from Richardson extended
the lead to five. A jumper by for-
ward Dominique Keller and a
Davis layup extended the Illinis
lead to nine.

Scrappy linebacker making
steady strides in frst season
By JAySON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com

During games senior safety Dar-
rell Stuckey watches freshman line-
backer Huldon Tarp crash his body
into the formidable bodies of ofen-
sive linemen.
Its part of Tarps job descrip-
tion something each linebacker
must do but the impacts catch
Stuckeys attention for a simple rea-
son: Tarp shows no regard for his
undersized frame.
At 215 pounds, Tarp is certainly
small for a linebacker in the college
football world. But he overcomes
that fact with a persistent work ethic
and a constant drive.
Stuckey takes the assessment of
Tarp one step further.
Hes one of those guys that youd
see in Gladiator side by side with
you, Stuckey said. Hed be the one
protecting you with his shield while
hes stabbing his spear and Im at-
tacking the guy next to me. Hes
defnitely a guy Id want on my front
line if I was a Spartan.
Indeed, Tarp has developed into
a trusted component of Kansas de-
fense, flling a starting spot that was
a question mark during the ofsea-
son.
With the Jayhawks graduating
three three-year starters at lineback-
er last season, concern shifed to a
perceived lack of suitable replace-
ments. Yet for much of the ofseason,
Tarps name was rarely mentioned.
Afer all, the Big 12 doesnt feature
many freshman starters.
Its very rare for a true fresh-
man to come right away and play at
linebacker, especially undersized,
Stuckey said. Hes not the biggest
guy. We may weigh the same.
Tarp actually outweighs Stuckey
by 10 pounds, but his point stands:
Tarp has relied on aptitude and
sheer hard work to earn playing
time as an undersized freshman.
Hes still a little underweight,
coach Mark Mangino said. And he
cant wait to get into the weight room
this winter. But boy he is a fghter.
Tarp had one more obstacle
in his way: He had to shake the re-
maining rust from an injury.
Te summer before his senior
year at Mulvane High School, Tarp
and his team traveled to a camp at
Pittsburg State. On the camps open-
ing day, though, Tarp tore his ACL.
He missed his entire senior season.
It was just rough sitting around
hoping for the best but kind of ex-
pecting the worst, Tarp said. It
was a pretty rough time.
In the days that followed, Tarps
attention shifed toward the bigger
picture.
Would he still be able to play Di-
vision I football or would schools
pull their scholarship ofers?
Tat was my biggest fear actu-
ally when I frst found out the news:
Tat all the colleges would back of
of me and I might have to go to ju-
nior college or play in Division II,
Tarp said.
Tat wasnt the case Tarp ac-
tually received a scholarship ofer
from Colorado while injured and
he ended up committing to Kansas.
Now hes slowly developed into
the Jayhawks ffh-leading tackler
this season.
Coming from playing high
school football your junior year to
playing in the Big 12, its defnitely
pretty nerve wracking, Tarp said.
But every game I get more conf-
dent that I can actually hang with
these guys.
For Stuckey, Tarps success has
roots on the practice feld and dur-
ing conditioning drills.
Stuckey praises Tarps work eth-
ic and maturity two traits that cer-
tainly have helped him earn playing
time fresh out of high school.
When we were running in con-
ditioning, I looked to my right and it
wasnt a defensive back running next
to me but Huldon Tarp running
next to me, Stuckey said. I thought,
Hes a linebacker. What is he doing
next to me? Am I that slow?
Tarp has struggled at times this
season, and thats to be expected
from a freshman still grasping the
workings of the college game.
But he also has proven that hes
capable of competing in the Big 12.
He wants to be the best he can
and he doesnt want to let people
around him down, Stuckey said.
Sometimes I think to myself Is that
what my mentality was when I frst
came here?

DENVER Carmelo Anthony
scored 32 points and reserve J.R.
Smith had 29, leading the Denver
Nuggets past the Toronto Raptors
130-112 on Tuesday night.
Anthony is the only player in
the NBA to score at least 20
points in all of his teams games
so far. Hes topped 30 points
seven times and 40 points twice.
He sat out the final quarter of this
one after putting in 30 efficient
minutes.
After with-
standing Smiths
seven-game sus-
pension and a six-
game trip con-
sisting of three
back- t o- backs ,
the Nuggets
weathered a very d e t e r -
mined Raptors t e a m
that was without forward
Hedo Turkoglu b u t
didnt trail until midway through
the third quarter.
Chris Bosh led Toronto with
13 points and 14 rebounds and
DeMar DeRozan scored 17. Nene
had 20 points and 10 boards for
Denver, which shot 62 percent.
Turkoglu missed
the game with a
sore left hip and
was replaced in the
starting lineup by
Antoine Wright,
whos dealing with
a sore left ankle and
finished with five points in 17
minutes. All the other starters
reached double figures, as did
reserves Marco Belinelli (16) and
Sonny Weems (12).
Denver didnt grab its first lead
until Anthony fed Kenyon Martin
for a dunk that made it 70-68
early in the third.
Jose Calderon sank a 3-pointer
at the other end and it was back
and forth until Denver took con-
trol with a quick 7-0 spurt that
made it 81-74. Nene hit two free
throws and Chauncey Billups
sank a technical foul shot before
Melo swished a fadeaway fol-
lowed by a turnaround jumper.
Denver went on a 16-4 run
to start the fourth, building a
20-point lead. The Nuggets have
won 14 straight regular-season
games at home, their longest
streak since 1989, when they won
19 straight home games.
The Raptors put together an
11-point lead in the second quar-
ter, but they settled for a 64-64
halftime tie. Nene scored eight
points and Melo seven during
Denvers 17-6 run to end the first
half, which ended with Anthonys
breakaway basket at the buzzer.
NOTES: Toronto claimed F
Pops Mensah-Bonsu off waivers
from Houston. He averaged 5.1
points, 5.4 boards and 13.8 min-
utes in 19 games with the Raptors
last season before signing a free-
agent deal with Houston, which
waived him Friday. ... Denver has
won eight of its last nine home
games against Toronto.
Chris Bosh led Toronto
with 13 points and 14
rebounds and DeMar
DeRozan scored 17.
