Senate
reviewing
fees for
next year
BY BRIANNE PFANNENSTIEL
bpfannenstiel@kansan.com
While the University of Kansas
is in the midst of cutting its budget
to meet state mandates, Student
Senate is in a budget crunch of
its own.
This time, its not because of
overspending or government
requirements. Its an attempt by
Senate to prevent an increase in
the required campus fees paid by
every student.
Some organizations such as
the Watkins Memorial Health
Center and the Ambler Student
Recreation Fitness Center will
need an increased budget to main-
tain the same level of services they
currently provide to students.
Adam McGongile, Wichita junior
and student body president, said
in order to provide those orga-
nizations with an increased bud-
get while keeping student fees the
same, Senate must cut funding to
other areas.
McGonigle said Senate was
more interested in cutting fees that
did not have jobs tied to them. He
said there are also certain fees that
cannot be cut because they are tied
to different bond programs that
need continued payments.
McGonigle initially issued a
typed recommendation, which he
said was only a draft, to the Senate
executive staff. He recommend-
ed the elimination of the cam-
pus safety and campus media fees,
which would cut funding to KJHK,
The University Daily Kansan, Kiosk
Magazine and KU Filmworks
along with various campus safety
projects. Those cuts would save
$5.75 per student per semester.
That same memo allowed for
increased funds in the Student
Activity Fee, currently $17.50 per
student per semester, to finance
minimal salary increases for sen-
ators. He then amended that state-
ment and recommended to the
fee review subcommittee that the
campus media fee be reduced and
the campus safety fee be retired
for three years with no increases
made to the Senate Activity Fee.
However, Brian Hardouin,
Broomfield, Colo., law senator and
member of the finance committee
that heads up the fee review sub-
committee, said all fees would be
under close scrutiny and warned
senators against making the pro-
cess political as the election pro-
cess begins.
This is very serious,
Hardouin said to the Senate
Finance Committee at its meeting
Wednesday. I take this process
very personally. If we screw this
up people get pink slips and lose
their jobs.
The review subcommittee will
meet several times during the next
month to determine which fees
will need increases and which fees
will be cut.
The subcommittee has broken
down all student fees into three
groups: bonds, funding boards and
services.

Lets taLk about sex
not stopping at abstinence
BY BETSY CUTCLIFF
bcutclif@kansan.com
To close this years sexual aware-
ness week, the Commission on
the Status for Women will sponsor
a pub crawl to collect signatures
for Prevention First, a petition
to demand Kansas to tighten its
regulations for sexual education.
The petition is also aimed at
forcing legislators to grant access
to reproductive health care.
Elise Higgins, Topeka junior
and president of CSW, said aware-
ness of Kansas procedures and
sexual health in general was the
goal of the activism week.
If we can get the student body
engaged in getting the best educa-
tion they can, well know we can
do it nationally, Higgins said.
The week also included a panel
of experts and a booth on Wescoe
beach.
During the past 30 years,
women and men have had more
options concerning sexual aware-
ness, including more methods of
birth control and more access to
information about prevention of
pregnancy and sexually transmit-
ted diseases.
Higgins said although the KU
student body may have been up
to speed on the dangers of unpro-
tected sex, they should be more
aware of the politics involved with
sex education.
Kansas law requires public
schools to offer comprehensive
sex education, also referred to as
abstinence-plus education, but
fails to define what that type of
education entails. The state leaves
the content of sex education up to
the school districts, which Alesha
Doan, assistant professor of politi-
cal science, said caused an incon-
sistency in what Kansas children
learned.
Since Congress authorized
funding for abstinence-only edu-
cation programs in 1996, Kansas
has received more than $300,000
per year for community groups
and educators, according to the
Kansas Department of Health and
Environment.
It would be nice if everyone
would be abstinent until they are
married, but thats just not the
case, Higgins said.

Kirsten Devin, Omaha, Neb.,
sophomore, has waited four years
to donate blood for the first time.
Devin serves as the KU
Panhellenic Associations blood
drive officer and is one of 36 vol-
unteers on the blood drive com-
mittee, but she keeps being reject-
ed because of a month-long vaca-
tion to China she took during her
junior year of high school.
They concluded that it was too
big of a risk to take and turned
me down, Devin said. She said
she still tries to stay involved in
community blood drives by vol-
unteering.
Her committee has been work-
ing since the beginning of the
semester to organize this springs
blood drive, scheduled to run
March 2 through March 6.
Bev Kerbs, donor recruiter for
the American Red Cross Central
Plains, said she hoped to collect at
least 1,000 units of blood to sup-
ply most of Kansas and Northern
Oklahoma.
There is always an ongoing
need for blood, Kerbs said. She
said the average human body con-
tains 10 to 12 units of blood, and
one unit collected from a donor
could save up to three lives. There
are two cups, or one pint, of
blood in a single unit.
Kelly Unger, Overland Park
sophomore, president of the
blood drive committee, said she
donates blood whenever she can.
It saves lives and its an easy
way to give back, she said.
Emma Graves, Lees Summit,
Mo., freshman, said she thought
donating blood was important.
She said the encouragement of
the medical staff and volunteers
was a helpful distraction.
Im afraid of needles but I still
donate, Graves said.
Leann DeLong, donor recruiter
for the Community Blood Center,
said she thought fewer students
donated in the spring because
the weather was nicer and people
Students look forward to donating in spring blood drive

Review: Lets face it, there isnt
exactly an abundance of great
Chinese food in Lawrence. Since
I moved here, Ive been looking
for some place that will serve
me higher-grade Asian cuisine
that doesnt leave me drown-
ing in MSG and peanut oil. Well,
Encore Caf is that place.
Upon frst seeing this joint,
you may be skeptical. The
interior is a bit sketchy, with the
weird diamond cloth patterns
and the bamboo bar that doesnt
quite ft. But what they lack in at-
mosphere they more than make
up for in taste.
I started with a strawberry
bubble tea, kind of like a
smoothie mixed with green
tea, and tapioca pearls, which
really soaked up the fruit favor.
Delicious. Then I ordered some
spring rolls and crab rangoon,
which were well done. My en-
tre, General Tsos chicken, was
a great blend of spice and tang,
and was served with fresh broc-
coli and steamed rice. (Needless
to say, I left satisfed.)
The next time around I made
sure to try the Pad Thai. It looked
amazing, and it delivered. The
noodles, egg, green onion and
bean sprouts were all tossed in
a tasty sweet chili sauce that
wasnt overpowered by the pea-
nut favor like other restaurants.
Everything I had, and all the food
around me, looked and smelled
incredible.
Encore Caf is a great place
for a date or a night out with
friends, and Id say its the best
Chinese in Lawrence. Try it out.

AMSTERDAM Engine trou-
ble may have caused the Turkish
Airlines crash that killed nine peo-
ple in the Netherlands, the head
of the agency investigating the ac-
cident said Tursday. Separately,
ofcials said those killed were fve
Turks and four Americans.
Flight TK1951 from Istanbul
crashed about one mile (1.5 ki-
lometers) short of the runway at
Amsterdams Schiphol Airport on
Wednesday morning, smashing
into three pieces and spraying lug-
gage and debris across a feld. It
was carrying 135 passengers and
crew.
Chief investigator Pieter van
Vollenhoven said, in remarks
quoted by Dutch state television
NOS, that the Boeing 737-800 had
fallen almost directly from the sky,
which pointed toward the planes
engines having stopped. He said
a reason for that had not yet been
established. Survivors say engine
noise seemed to stop, the plane
shuddered and then simply fell out
of the sky tail-frst. Witnesses on
the ground said the plane dropped
from about 300 feet (90 meters).
Haarlemmermeer mayor Teo
Weterings said the names of the
victims would not be released un-
til the bodies have been formally
identifed.
Te relatives have been in-
formed of the deaths, he told the
Associated Press. We have ar-
ranged some help for them.
He also said Tursday that in-
vestigators now say 135 passengers
and crew were on the fight, not
134 as previously believed, which
was one reason it had taken so long
to account for the dead.
At the crash site Tursday, in-
vestigators took detailed photos
of the wreckage, trying to piece
together why the plane lost speed
and crashed.
Boeing could not immediately
be reached Tursday for a reaction
or say whether any or all of its em-
ployees were among the dead.
One survivor, Henk Heijloo, said
the last message he heard from the
captain was for fight crew to take
their seats. He said it took him
time to realize the landing had
gone wrong.
We were coming in at an odd
angle, and I felt the pilot give
the plane more gas, he said. He
thought the pilot might have been
trying to abort the landing, because
the nose came up.
Turkish Airlines issued a state-
ment Tursday denying reports
that the plane had had technical
problems in the days before the ac-
cident.
It confrmed the plane had un-
dergone routine maintenance on
Feb. 19, and that it had to delay
a fight Feb. 23 to replace a faulty
caution light.
Te controller cleared the plane
to descend to an altitude of 4,000
feet, where it would intercept an
electronic beam guiding the plane
to the runway.
Te controller then read out
the proper radio frequency for re-
questing clearance to land. Turk-
ish 1951 contact the tower 11827,
bye bye, he said
Tere was no indication of trou-
ble in his voice.

scholarships
By MIKE BONTRAGER
mbontrager@kansan.com
Te Equal Opportunity Pro-
grams at KU will be creating a new
scholarship for low-income, frst-
generation students.
Tere will be a presen-
tation announcing the
scholarship at 11 a.m.
today in 150 JRP Hall.
EOP currently pro-
vides two programs to
KU students: Te Mc-
Nair Scholars Program
and the Supportive
Educational Service
program.
Te scholarship will be managed
through the Kansas University En-
dowment Association. EOP set a
goal to raise $30,000 within three
years and has already raised $1,000
for the scholarship. When the goal
is reached, staf will select the re-
cipients for the scholarship.
Julie Feldt, St. Louis senior, is
currently involved in the SES pro-
gram and will speak at the presen-
tation.
Feldt came to the University be-
cause it ofered an astronomy ma-
jor. She is also majoring in physics
and said she was able to attend the
University because of grants and
loans.
I think its really good to pro-
vide more things like scholarships
and grants, said Feldt. I know
a lot of people are intimidated by
loans.
Feldt said
her SES adviser
suggested she
sign up for the
TRIO grant,
which she had
received for the
last three years.
TRIO sponsors
EOP programs
through govern-
ment funding.
Caitie Hilton, Lawrence sopho-
more, has been in the SES program
since her frst semester at the Uni-
versity.
Ive found it very helpful, par-
ticularly the free tutoring, said
Hilton. Its kind of nice to have a
free computer lab. I dont have to
lug my laptop around with me.
Hilton said she would be inter-
ested in the scholarship.
Im defnitely down with schol-
arship money, Hilton said.
Edwin Duson Jr., Kansas City,
Mo., senior, has participated in SES
since 2003.
Im really grateful to be in the
program, Duson said. Its hard
enough being in the University,
you know. But when you have a
program like this to help you out
and to help you succeed, its always
a good thing.
Duson said he didnt know what
he would do without the program.
It just helps out a lot because
my tutor helps me focus my time
adequately on my homework and
my assignments, Duson said.
Instead of me just going out and
drinking and stuf.
Eric Martinez, Garden City se-
nior, will also be speaking at the
meeting and is involved in the Mc-
Nair Scholars Program.
Martinez has been involved in
EOP since high school, where he
was involved in the Upward Bound
program and Talent Search.
Martinez is majoring in psychol-
ogy, focusing on social psychology
with Latinos and how they are per-
ceived in American culture.
He said he was recruited to the
McNair Scholars Program because
it ft in his major and he qualifed
to be in the program.
Ive been very involved with the
McNair Scholars program, Marti-
nez said. Ive attended every single
event since I have been admitted to
the program.
Martinez is one of two students
who was selected to attend a Mc-
Nair conference in Puerto Rico af-
ter this semesters fnals.
Martinez will talk about his ex-
perience with each program at the
presentation.
EOP helps nearly 4,000 students
throughout Kansas further their
education with their programs.

safety

agarry@kansan.com
Zach Kastens, the student taken
by helicopter to the University of
Kansas Hospital afer being struck
by a car Wednesday, has been re-
leased and is planning to return to
classes Monday, he said.
Kastens, Atwood junior, was hit
as he crossed the street near the in-
tersection of Crestline and Univer-
sity drives Wednesday afernoon,
Lawrence police said. Te driver
of the car was identifed as Kendra
Butler, an 18-year-old Washburn
University freshman.
Kastens said he didnt blame
Butler for the accident, but rather
himself for not paying attention to
trafc while on his way to catch a
bus to campus. He said he did not
plan to press charges.
It was pretty much my fault, he
said.
Kastens said that, afer the col-
lision, he focused more on consol-
ing Butler, who was freaking out,
than on his own injuries or pain.
When I landed, I didnt really
feel that bad, he said. I just wor-
ried about her.
Kastens was life-fighted because
medical personnel at the scene be-
lieved he may have sufered head
injuries, he said. He has two frac-
tured ribs, cuts on his face and
heavy bruising on his lef side, but
no head injuries. He is expected to
recover on his own.
I have cuts and bruises, but
nothing too dire, I guess, Kastens
said.
Kastens received a $130 jaywalk-
ing fne for the incident while sit-
ting in the emergency room, he
said.

Corey Flanders, Salina junior, said
she thought that with abstinence-
only or abstinence-plus education
a lot of the effectiveness depended
on young adults relationships with
their parents.
The huge fear when youre
younger is getting caught by your
parents, Flanders said, So sexually
active teens will ask their peers, and
if their peers get the same education
that they do, well where do you go
from there?
Doan agreed and said that the
ideal situation would be parents
who took interest an in talking to
their children about sex, but that
unfortunately talking about sexual-
ity was traditionally uncomfortable
in our culture.
In the United States, sex is
an ideological or morality issue,
Vanessa Sanburn, Wichita graduate
student, said. It should be a public
health issue.
Holly Weatherford, Kansas lob-
byist for Planned Parenthood, said
this years battle in Topeka regard-
ing Kansas sex education was just
heating up, and that while stud-
ies had shown most adults favored
comprehensive sex education, there
was still an imbalance in the state
capitol.
Doan said abstinence-only sup-
porters were very politically active.
We tend to hear the loudest
voices, and the loudest voices are
not necessarily the voice of the
people, she said.
Higgins said she hoped the pub
crawl would be a good chance to
gain signatures and let more stu-
dents know about sex education
and access in Kansas.

State Dept. warns students
of increased drug violence
By AMANDA LEE MyERS
Associated Press
PHOENIX The U.S. State
Department and universities
around the country are warn-
ing college students headed for
Mexico for some spring-break
partying of a surge in drug-relat-
ed murder and mayhem south of
the border.
Were not necessarily telling
students not to go, but were going
to certainly alert them, said Tom
Dougan, vice president for stu-
dent affairs at the University of
Rhode Island. There have been
Americans kidnapped, and if you
go you need to be very aware and
very alert to this fact.
More than 100,000 high school-
and college-age Americans travel
to Mexican resort areas during
spring break each year. Much of
the drug violence is happening
in border towns, and tourists
have generally not been targeted,
though there have been killings
in the big spring-break resorts of
Acapulco and Cancun, well away
from the border.
The University of Arizona in
Tucson is urging its approximate-
ly 37,000 students not to go to
Mexico. Other universities in
the Southwest and far beyond,
including Penn State, Notre Dame,
the University of Colorado and
the University at Buffalo said
they would call students attention
to the travel warning issued Feb.
20 by the State Department.
The State Department stopped
short of warning spring breakers
not to go to Mexico, but advised
them to avoid areas of prostitution
and drug-dealing and take other
common-sense precautions.
Sage advice, said Tom
Mangan, a spokesman for the fed-
eral Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives. We
have had documented violence,
attacks, killings, shootouts with
the drug cartels involving not
only the military but law enforce-
ment personnel. It is indiscrimi-
nate violence, and certainly inno-
cent people have been caught up
in that collateral damage.
news 5A friday, february 27, 2009
and personnel administrator for
the Office of Student Success,
will compile information regard-
ing the bond fees that students
pay. The review subcommittee
will not receive any proposals
or formal hearings about these
bonds because they are payment
obligations that have not been
fulfilled.
Some Senate fees go through
funding boards, which disburse
that money to various student
groups. For instance, the cam-
pus safety fee operates under one
board but disburses money to
multiple groups.
Each of these boards, along
with service fee units, will attend
a hearing
between March
4 and March
13 where the
review subcom-
mittee will hear
testimony from
each group.
The date of
the hearings has
not yet been set
but will occur between March 23
and March 30.
The subcommittee will make
its final recommendations to the
Senate Finance Committee on
April 1 for approval before present-
ing them to full Senate on April 8.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway
has final approval over any rec-
ommendations Senate makes.
My biggest con-
cern is individuals
will use fees to influ-
ence the election
process, Hardouin
said. It removes the
decisions from being
those that are well
thought out and well
reasoned to those
that are just easy to
sell and those that fit on a poster.
This process needs to be more
planned out than that.

wanted to be outside. She said stu-
dents were busy studying for mid-
term exams as well.
According to the blood drive com-
mittees Web site, the Universitys
fall 2008 blood drive collected about
850 units of blood, which was below
the minimum of 1,000 units it had
hoped to collect. The spring 2008
drive collected the least amount of
blood in school history with 497
units, which wasnt enough blood to
meet Kansas daily needs.
Both the Red Cross and the
Community Blood Center need 550
units of blood a day to supply their
regions. They have several safety
policies that may prevent students
from donating blood.
All donors must wait at least eight
weeks between donations. In cases
like Devins, people who travel to
countries like China or Germany, or
certain parts of Mexico and Africa
are not permitted to give blood for
years.
Kerbs said there is a common
misconception that people with
new body art are not permitted to
give blood. However, Kansas policy
allows people who were tattooed
or pierced in Kansas- or Missouri-
licensed facilities to donate.
Devin had traveled through
remote areas in China that were
considered high-risk. She was eli-
gible to donate last fall but said she
didnt have enough iron in her blood
to meet donation requirements. She
said that wouldnt discourage her
from trying again this spring.
Emily Nachreiner, Omaha, Neb.
freshman, said she had to change
her diet before donating blood in
order to meet the iron require-
ments.
If I eat red meat the night before,
Im good to go, she said.
Iron-rich foods include red meat,
poultry, fish, beans, fibrous cereals
and raisins.
Kerbs said anyone interested in
donating blood should plan on stay-
ing for 60 to 90 minutes. She said
making an appointment in advance
and drinking a lot of water would
cut down the time commitment.
Information about the blood
drive and tips for donating can
be found at the committees Web
site: http://www.kublooddrive.com/
homepage.html.

BUFFALO, N.Y. An FBI agent
was shot and wounded Thursday
morning during a roundup of
suspects in an alleged cocaine
distribution ring, a Bufalo-area
sweep that also led to the arrest of
a former NBA player in Nevada.
Laurie Bennett, special agent in
charge of Bufalos FBI ofce, said
the agent was in stable condition
after being shot while executing
a search warrant at a house in
Bufalo.
Bennett did not identify the
agent and did not comment on
local media reports that another
agent fred the shot. At a news
conference, she declined to
discuss details of the shooting
and said an internal investigation
would take several weeks.
Bennett says the shooting
happened after a suspect was
arrested at the house.
The agent was among law-en-
forcement ofcers who rounded
up 31 people who were charged
with participating in a violent,
gang-run cocaine distribution ring
that has been linked to at least
one killing.

No headway made in
Piven grievance hearing
NEW YORK No agreement
has been reached in the Jeremy
Piven grievance hearing.
Piven appeared Thursday at
the session requested by the
producers of Speed-the-Plow,
which the performer abruptly
quit in December after his doc-
tor said he was sufering from
mercury poisoning.
But after hearing from both
parties, a panel composed of
Actors Equity and Broadway
League representatives were
unable to reach a unanimous
decision. A joint statement issued
by the union and the Broadway
producers trade association said
the producers have the right, as
a next step, to proceed to arbitra-
tion.

INTERLAKEN, Switzerland
The bus circled up and around the
steep roads before sunrise and into
the sleepy town.
I woke up right before we
entered the ski shop. The moun-
tains still hid behind the clouds and
darkness, but inside that ski shop
I started to realize just how tough
of a time Id have tackling these
mountains.
Two friends and I waited in line
for equipment. Other skiers chatted
back and forth around the store.
A worker told one person that this
was going to be the best day of the
season.
Then I got up there.
So, are you a good skier? the
same worker asked, a slight smirk
on his face.
He could sense that the only ski
mogul I knew about was Rupert
Murdoch on a vacation in Aspen.
No, I replied, not minding his
sarcasm, Im a very bad skier.
Thing is, bad skier wasnt even
accurate. Worst skier wouldve fit
better.
The last time I went skiing
was 12 years ago, at Snow Creek.
Everyone from the Kansas City
area knows about Snow Creek.
Its our only winter haven. Its an
overpriced small hill covered in
artificial snow, but damn it, mak-
ing artificial snow is harder than it
sounds.
I went there on a Friday when
we didnt have school. I spent the
day on either the green slope or the
bunny slope. Im not sure they have
a distinction at Snow Creek. It was
a successful run down the slope if I
didnt get tangled up with another
kid on the rope pull and lose a ski
and wriggle around in the snow for
30 minutes until I finally realized I
had to detach the other ski before I
could stand back up.
I hadnt skied from then until
Switzerland, and it was quite a bit
different. Lets just say the Swiss
Alps dont have a rope pull. They
dont have bunny slopes either.
I discovered this at the top of
Kleine Scheidegg, after an hour-
and-a-half train ride to get up
there. (I suspect that would be
a three-hour rope pull.) But for
some reason, I was undeterred.
I strapped on my ski goggles,
stomped into my skis and dug my
poles into the ground. I was skiing.
I was actually doing it. Sort of.
The first turn came. Wipeout.
The first big downhill came right
afterwards. Wipeout. 10-year-old
kids sped past me. This went on for
a good half hour as I kept think-
ing to myself, OK, make the pizza
shape with your feet to brake. Then
that made me really hungry for
pizza, and didnt help me brake, so
I decided to crash to a stop.
I pulled to the side of the trail
for a moment and just stared at the
mountains. The sun reflected off
the white slopes, and green pines
covered the rocky sides as they slid
into the valley where several wood-
en cabins created a small town. No
skiers passed by for a while. The
mountain was mine, and I felt at
peace. It was like something out of
a Shelley poem, a Mary or Percy
Bysshe one.
I decided the worker at the ski
shop in the morning was right. I
wasnt a good skier, not even close.
He was right about something else,
too. This was the best day of the
season and even one of the worst
skiers could tell that.
After the break, I successfully
made it down a hill and navigated
a turn without crashing. The rest
of the day, the Swiss Alps didnt
feel a whole lot harder than Snow
Creek.

I
m spoiled. My parents have
given me everything anyone
could ever ask for. Now that
Ive (somewhat) grown up, I can
see how blessed my life has been.
With this has come an appre-
ciation for what my parents do
and an understanding of what
their help is worth. And with
that comes a desire to get the
most out of one of their greatest
gifts, my college education. Its
that appreciation for my college
experience that makes me want
to change the small but crucial
things that interfere with it.
Most of us have had or know
someone who has had an instruc-
tor from another country. Such
instructors can be especially
interesting and incredibly eye-
opening. But, lets face it, some-
times their accents are impossible
to understand.
Thats not surprising, given
the disparity between the way
many Americans speak and
the way the English language is
technically supposed to sound.
Americanaccent.com, which
offers help learning to speak and
understand the American accent,
points out many of those differ-
ences that native speakers dont
think about. For example, Let
her get a better water heater
doesnt bear much resemblance
to how we say it: Ledder gedda
bedder wader heeder.
This breakdown in communi-
cation is as old as the hills, but it
causes problems. Its enough that
the material in a class is difficult
to understand why should it
be equally difficult to understand
what the instructor is saying? If
you said it shouldnt, were vibin
right now. There isnt an isola-
tionist bone in my body, and I
believe everyone who wants to
should have an opportunity to
make a life as a teacher. But at no
point should a students educa-
tion be sacrificed for anything.
And if comprehensibility is com-
promised, the student cant learn.
If a teachers accent is standing
between receiving informa-
tion and not, something should
be done (and in all likelihood.
instructors want to know whether
theyre hard to understand).
The University should offer
alternatives for these teachers,
such as American accent train-
ing. After all, we offer help for
international students who have
trouble following classes in
English. Why cant there be bet-
ter services for those who have
to teach in a foreign or second
language? Its not a problem that
cant be solved. We just need to
change along with our changing
society.
The University wasnt the
cheapest choice for college in
terms of tuition. Because my
income wasnt quite up to snuff,
I asked my parents to pay for my
education. I offered to take out
loans to shoulder some of the
financial burden, but my father
refused. He simply made me
promise to do the same for my
children. It was at this point that I
realized how valuable my parents
were. And armed with the knowl-
edge of what their help should
be worth, I think its time to ask
the University to start seeing our
value as students.

W
hen considering the
most recognizable and
culturally influential
cities in hip-hop, Lawrence doesnt
usually come to mind. New York,
the unquestionable Mecca of hip-
hop, is roughly 1,100 miles to the
northeast, while Los Angeles does
its thing 1,300 miles to the west.
So, here in Lawrence, we are almost
exactly halfway between the two
metropolises that have had argu-
ably the most influence in hip-hop
history to date. Despite being so far
from either of these two drastically
different cities, Lawrence is some-
times scheduled as a show stop for
hip-hop artists from around the
nation, partly because of its con-
venient location just off I-70. This
fortunate fact makes Lawrence a
potential gem for hip-hop heads
across the country when a quality
show comes to town. The problem
is that these shows are few and far
between.
Since arriving in Lawrence from
the north side of Chicago, I have
attended as many hip-hop shows in
the area as possible. My experienc-
es with the majority of the shows in
Lawrence have been tremendous; I
have never been able to get so close
to a performer so effortlessly any-
where else. The first instance of this
was Atmosphere and Brother Ali
at the Granada definitely a hype
show but it still took me only
five minutes to shimmy through
the crowd to the front and center
of the stage. After that first show, a
couple of Chicago acts performed
at the Bottleneck (Typical Cats and
Long Shot, among others). I was
among only two dozen there, and
was able to take in an awesome
show by one of my favorite groups
just a couple of feet away. My love
for the Lawrence hip-hop scene
grew from there.
Used to catching only glimpses
of emcees in packed Chicago
venues, I was begrudgingly accus-
tomed to watching a show nine or
10 rows back (no matter how early
I arrived). But in Lawrence, no
matter whether its a small-time act
or an international performer, one
can be right in front giving dap to
the man on stage. Lawrence offers
truly unique and incredible experi-
ences to its residents with this kind
of hip-hop scene, experiences few
towns throughout the country can
match. However, while the short-
age of concert patrons offers a
much more intimate and comfort-
able way for hip hop heads to see
their favorite artist, it can also be
a curse.
Lawrence may have a healthy
hip-hop appetite, but it is usually
dying of starvation. Every week I
check local Web sites for upcom-
ing quality shows in Lawrence
and the Kansas City area, and Im
pleasantly surprised less and less
frequently. It seems to me that
although artists appear to enjoy
performing in Lawrence, they may
be forced to book other venues in
more populated areas. For example,
underground favorite Murs has
been to Lawrence several times in
the past but now plays only in the
larger market of Kansas City.
What the hip-hop community
in Lawrence must do is attract
better acts more frequently by
attending what shows do come
through town in greater numbers.
This will encourage acts to return
to Lawrence in the future as well as
attract other management groups
to the city. So, fellow hip-hop
heads (and non-heads), do as I
do and check Lawrence.com for
upcoming shows, buy yourself a
ticket and get closer to the hip-hop
experience than you ever thought
possible. Help support Lawrences
potentially incredible yet currently
dormant hip-hop scene. Peace.

senior in journalism and

Defeating the intern zombie
chRisTiNE BRozYNsKi
Princeton U.
The Daily Princetonian
I
t was a dark and stormy
night. I heard a noise in the
corner. I whirled around
and found myself face-to-face
with an unidentifiable figure. He
was wearing a crumpled suit, a
wrinkled tie and a look of piteous
desperation.
Second round? he croaked,
his eyes fixated on me.
He leaned in and whispered,
Do you know who got a second-
round interview at J.P. Morgan?
Oh no! I realized with a burst
of horror what was standing in
front of me: an internship zom-
bie!
Luckily I escaped my encoun-
ter alive and well. Not everyone
might be so fortunate, however,
for the internship mania is conta-
gious. Once limited to econom-
ics and operations research and
financial engineering majors,
the hysteria is sweeping across
such varied departments as
psychology, English and history.
Remember a simpler time when
we all used to work at summer
camps? No, of course not, the
intern zombie has crowded that
out of mind with visions of a
high-salary future.
For those who would rather
avoid the do-or-die approach
to internships, I have developed
some guidelines that would
make Public Safety proud: How
to Avoid Becoming an Intern
Zombie.
1. Do not become an intern
zombie. Think this is a silly first
rule? I refer you to Public Safetys
own list of ways to prevent bike
theft, in which the first helpful
suggestion is to prevent your bike
from being stolen.
2. Do not major in economics.
In fact, do not pick a major at all.
Someone once told me that they
thought the Slavic languages and
literature department was safe,
but I wouldnt take any chances.
3. Fail your classes. Yes, you
might be expelled but wait.
No. This isnt a good idea at all.
4. Do not buy a suit. But it
looks pretty, you might protest.
And its on sale! Stop, drop it
and roll your mind around this
thought: Suits lead to interviews,
and interviews lead to the dark
side.
And there you have it. So good
night, sleep tight and dont let the
intern zombie bite.

Boathouse to be dedicated Saturday
BY ADAM SAMSON
asamson@kansan.com
A dedication ceremony for the
new Kansas Rowing boathouse will
take place at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at
Burcham Park.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway,
Athletics Director Lew Perkins, row-
ing coach Rob Catloth and Student
Body President Adam McGonigle
will speak at the ceremony.
Te varsity and
club rowing teams
recently moved
into the new
16,000-square-foot
boathouse, which
features locker
rooms, a training
facility, study area,
boat-repair area
and bays that will
hold 35 boats. Con-
struction on the boathouse began
last March. In 2006, the student
body approved a fee increase to
help fund the construction of the
new building.
McGonigle said he would speak
about the efect students had on
making the boathouse a reality.
Im going to speak about the
incredible amount of good we can
do for the University when the stu-
dents work with the administra-
tion, McGonigle said. Students
supported this and the Athletics
Department supported this, and it
showed that both can step up to get
something done.
Although the $6
million boathouse is
complete, the $15 per
semester student fee
will not expire until
the fall of 2011. Te
fee is reimbursing the
Athletics Department
for the expense.
Katie Brosious,
Roanoke, Texas, se-
nior rower, said she remembered
standing outside Wescoe Hall as a
freshman trying to get votes for the
student referendum. She said the
boathouse was a huge step for the
University and the rowing teams.
Tere is no way it would have
been built without the students,
Brosious said. So we defnitely owe
them a lot and we really appreciate
everything that they did.
Associate Athletics Director Jim
Marchiony said generations of stu-
dents and student athletes would be
thankful to the current student body
for securing funding to ensure the
new boathouse. He said the dedica-
tion ceremony would highlight the
importance of the student vote.
During the dedication cer-
emony, youll see a plaque, and we
dont want people to forget that the
students played a huge role in this
and want to make sure they get the
credit forever, Marchiony said.
Catloth, who has coached at the
University for 14 years and also
rowed here as a member of the club
team, said he remembered dragging
the boats out from a handmade
chain-link fence holding the rowing
equipment.
Brosious said with the new build-
ing, it was hard to remember the
time before the boathouse.
Wed be out here at six in the
morning freezing having to stand
outside; now we can come in and
take a shower and go to the bath-
room instead of in a port-a-potty,
Brosious said. Our trainer worked
out of a van and now we have an
actual training room. Its like you
dont even remember that now that
were here.
Catloth said the boathouse would
make day-to-day operations more
enjoyable for the coaches, student
athletes, and students on the club
team. Catloth also said the boat-
house was important to the Univer-
sity in general.
I think one of the things that
Dr. Hemenways tried to do and
then bringing in Lew is make
academics, athletics, everything in
the University top-notch, Catloth
said. Teyre trying to be a top 25
institution, and this is a piece of that
puzzle.
Te event is open to the public
and tours will be ofered from 1
p.m. until 4 p.m.

COMMENTARY
Improving
Tigers make
for better
Showdown
T
he Border Showdown it
has a nice ring to it, doesnt
it?
I would rather call it something
else, a different epithet that all KU
fans use to describe the Kansas-
Missouri rivalry. Kansan style with-
holds my ability to print that word
here, but you know what it is.
That passion makes Jayhawks-
Tigers rivalry one of the most
heated in the nation. Over the
past few years the impact of the
games has faded. Missouri toiled
in mediocrity over the waning
years of the Quin Snyder era and
struggled in Mike Andersons
first couple years. Now, though,
Missouri bears a top ten ranking
and the pride of a victory over
Kansas in Missouri.
That victory has Jayhawk fans
seething. Zaire Taylors shot may
have looked ugly because he was
a wearing a Missouri uniform
granted, it looked aesthetically ugly
from a basketball standpoint as
well and Cole Aldrich may have
been fouled at the end of the game.
But the fact is Missouri defeated
Kansas, something it hadnt done
since the 05-06 season.
The pop hadnt been there in
the rivalry until that point. The
Tigers split with the Jayhawks
in the 04-05 season and the
following year, but the contests
in Lawrence were blowouts,
including a 33-point victory by
Kansas in Lawrence in 2006. The
Jayhawks added insult to injury
for the Tigers in the following
two seasons. The Jayhawks swept
the series both seasons, which
included Julian Wrights dominat-
ing 33-point, 12-rebound perfor-
mance in Columbia in 2007.
The Tigers have had their tails
between their legs for some time
now. Theyve even had trouble
selling out their new arena. Now,
theyve resharpened their claws
and have a share of the conference
title in their sights.
Theres more up for battle in
this grudge match than just brag-
ging rights. The winner will be
sitting in the drivers seat in terms
of the Big 12 Championship.
Sherron Collins has been blazing
for Kansas, and the freshmen are
starting to find their way.
The Jayhawks need smarter play
considering they turned the ball
over 27 times in Columbia. This
team has been steadily improving,
which adds to the anticipation of a
rematch with Missouri.
Missouris versatile big men
DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons
gave the Jayhawks all they could
handle last time. The Morris twins
need to be strong on the defensive
end to help out Aldrich in shut-
ting down Missouris best scoring
options.
Missouri will put it all on the
line in Lawrence. The Tigers
havent been this prominent in the
national medias eyes for a long
time. Their last trip to the NCAA
Tournament was in 2003 and their
last conference title was in 1994.
Sundays game will be more
than a rivalry. When Requiem
for a Tower plays before the KU
player introductions, realize that
Sundays game could go down as
one epic battle.

Self wants fewer turnovers, players want revenge
By cASe KeeFer
ckeefer@kansan.com
Tyshawn Taylor is starting to
understand this whole rivalry
thing.
Taylor, a freshman guard,
arrived at Allen Fieldhouse for
practice Thursday and noticed the
hallways clogged with campers
waiting for Sundays 1 p.m. tipoff
against Missouri. He looked at the
camping group sign-up list. Sixty
groups.
Wherever Taylor goes, hes
noticed how much everyone is
anticipating the game.
Its big. Its important, Taylor
said. People have been telling me
on campus, Weve got to get them,
we owe them one.
No. 15 Kansas (23-5, 12-1) lost
to No. 8 Missouri (24-4, 11-2)
62-60 three weeks ago at Mizzou
Arena. For only the second time in
the last eight years, the Jayhawks
have a chance to avenge a defeat to
the Tigers in the same season.
Of course, Kansas coach Bill
Self doesnt believe revenge should
be the predominant theme of the
game.
Motivation should not be
because its payback or things
like that, Self said. It should be
because youre playing a rival and
it means a lot.
Hes right about it meaning a
lot. The winner of the game at
Allen Fieldhouse will be in first
place in the Big 12 and control its
destiny as far as winning the Big
12 regular season championship
the rest of the way.
But most of Self s players also
have revenge on their minds.
You could say that, junior
guard Sherron Collins said. This
is Kansas and Missouri. They beat
us the first time. Its a game weve
been looking forward to.
When Collins looks back on
the loss to Missouri, however, he
says he remembers Kansas giving
the game away. The Jayhawks led
for most of the night, including a
14-point advantage at halftime.
But an inability to deal with
Missouris full-court defense cost
them in the end. Kansas commit-
ted 27 turnovers, the third most by
the team in the last 20 years.
Coach will be telling us every
five minutes how many turnovers
we had, every time we screw up
in practice, sophomore guard
Brady Morningstar said. Thats
just something that happens and
weve got to learn to get fewer
turnovers.
Self said the Jayhawks who
lead the Big 12 in turnovers with
16 per game in conference play
shouldnt commit more than 13
turnovers per game. Hes got some
tactics to help keep the number
down against the Tigers Saturday.
Self will make the Jayhawk start-
ers practice against teams of seven
and eight reserves in practice lead-
ing up to the game. Collins said
that was helpful because it forced
him to read three opponents at a
time and concentrate on not turn-
ing the ball over.
But Collins thinks the most
important thing to the Jayhawks
will be playing aggressively after
escaping the Tigers full-court
pressure something Kansas
didnt do in the first meeting.
We didnt attack their pressure
at all, Collins said. We just got
across the court and let them set
their defense back up and tried to
play from there. Weve got to attack
them in their soft spots, take the
ball up court and attack the rim.
If the Jayhawks play that way,
it will make for an exciting after-
noon of uptempo basketball at
Allen Fieldhouse. Its the kind of
basketball that will make fans like
the ones who talked to Taylor
excited.
Not that they werent already.
After all, this is Missouri. The
whole experience might be new to
Taylor, but everyone else is used
to it.
Same old Missouri team,
same old rivalry it is every year,
Morningstar said. Its going to be
a fun game to play in. Im excited
for it.

A PERfECT 10
Kirk reigned as king of the court
If you listened to Kirk Hinrich
on Thursday, you realized that
the young kid you remember is
gone.
Hinrich, Kansas former All-
Big 12 guard, is 28 now. Hes
played for the Chicago Bulls for
almost six years, and on Thursday
afternoon he met the President of
the United States.
Seems President Obama is
a Bulls fan. Must be a Chicago
thing.
But on Thursday, before his
trip to the White House, Hinrich
tried to explain how hell feel on
Sunday, when his jersey is lifted
to the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse
during halftime of the Missouri
game.
I dont know if theres a greater
honor. Hinrich says.
And then someone asked if he
specifically chose to have the jer-
sey ceremony during the Missouri
game. And, of course, he did.
Playing in that Missouri-
Kansas rivalry for four years, I
definitely understood how impor-
tant it is, he said.
And then you realized that
Kirk Hinrich hasnt changed a bit.
nnn
This is a story about a young
kid from Sioux City, Iowa, with
big ears. This is a story about a
coachs son. But you must know
this. Its hard for me to write
about Hinrich.
You see, sportswriters are sup-
posed to be objective. Theyre
supposed to supply statistically
sound, fact-based arguments.
And how can you be objective,
when youve had a poster of Kirk
Hinrich tacked on your bedroom
wall since 2002?
How can you be objective
when, as a high schooler, you
grew out your hair, pushed
it all forward and wore
that matted down mush-
room cut? Because thats
how Kirk wore it.
And how can you
be objective when, as
an unathletic, 5-foot-
10 high school shooting
guard, you patterned your
game off his? You wore your
socks like he did, and you cop-
ied his mannerisms. You hurt on
the inside when he walked off the
floor against Syracuse as a loser.
There are so many Hinrich
stories.
There was the time Hinrich
sprained his ankle against Holy
Cross in the first round of the
NCAA tournament in 2002.
There was a dark cloud hanging
over that game. Kansas barely
escaped and Hinrich violently
rolled his ankle and spent the sec-
ond half on the bench. He was on
crutches the next day and nobody
thought hed play in the second
round against Stanford except
Kirk, himself. Of course, he did
play and he made three three-
pointers and scored 15 points,
and Kansas was on its way to the
Final Four.
There was the Elite Eight
game against No. 1 seed Arizona
in 2003, when Hinrich willed
Kansas to another Final Four with
six
threes
and 28
points.
And
theres
another
story about
a Kansas-
Missouri game in
2002, when Kansas
went undefeated
in the Big 12. Dozens
of NBA scouts flocked
to that game. They came to
watch Kansas inside tandem of
Drew Gooden and Nick Collison
and Missouris terrific scorer
Kareem Rush. They left talking
about Hinrich. He was the fast-

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Its an unbelievable honor.
Unless youve ever been in
(Allen Fieldhouse) and under-
stand the tradition, its hard
to explain. Thinking back to
when we were freshmen going
through orientation to this is
amazing. My jersey will be in
the rafters of one of the most
historic basketball arenas in
the world.
Kirk Hinrich on his jersey being retired
as told to the Chicago Tribune
FACT OF THE DAY
Kirk Hinrich is averaging 9.6
points and 4.6 assists this sea-
son for the Chicago Bulls. He
has made only one start in 27
appearances. Hinrichs career
averages are decidedly higher,
and he has started 377 of 416
career games. In fve-plus NBA
seasons, the combo guard is
averaging 14.1 points, 6.3 as-
sists and 3.4 rebounds.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who was the player Sioux
City, Iowa, native Kirk Hinrich
split the 1999 Iowa Mr. Basket-
ball award with?
A: Hinrich shared the award
with future Kansas teammate
and current Seattle SuperSonic
Nick Collison. The two went
on to help lead Kansas to two
Final Four appearances.

COMMENTARY
Tennessee coach stirs up trouble
Y
our football program
is one bad season away
from becoming totally
irrelevant. Its on the brink of
cementing its place as the fourth-
best program in a six-team divi-
sion.
So what does the coach do?
He starts talking trash. He makes
false allegations. He masks his
lack of experience with taunts.
This is new Tennessee coach
Lane Kiffin. With spring football
set to kick off around the nation
over the next
few weeks, a
lot of atten-
tion is focused
on Knoxville,
Tenn., where
Kiffin has
created more
riffraff than
Stefhon Hannah at a nightclub.
In the last few months, Kiffin
whose Tennessee team went
5-7 last season, including a
defeat to Wyoming under coach
Phillip Fulmer has managed
to start feuds with Southeastern
Conference rivals Florida,
Alabama, Georgia and South
Carolina.
Kiffin accused Florida coach
Urban Meyer of violating NCAA
rules by phoning a recruit while
he was on the Tennessee campus.
Too bad thats legal and not a
violation.
Kiffin said assistant coach
Lance Thompson, whom he
hired away from Alabama, was
the reason for Alabama coach
Nick Sabans recruiting suc-
cess. Good idea, insult the 2008
National Coach of the Year.
Kiffin said Georgia only signed
Marlon Brown, a top-rated receiv-
er from Memphis, because his
grandmother didnt want him to
commit to Tennessee. Didnt men-
tion that Brown might be inter-
ested in an SEC Championship
and that Georgia has had two in
the last 10 years as compared with
Tennessees zero.
Hes also gotten into a public
argument with South Carolina
coach Steve Spurrier over
recruiting rules.
All of this from a guy who has
never served as a college football
head coach and went 5-15 in
two seasons as the coach of the
Oakland Raiders.
Sure, he spent some quality
years on coach Pete Carrolls
staff at USC. But Kiffin is in for a
rude awakening this fall when he
tries to compete in the SEC, the
nations unquestioned best foot-
ball conference.
Hell quickly learn that the
Volunteers dont have the talent
to match up with the teams hes
targeted. Hes going to find out
that while running his mouth
was fun in the offseason, getting
pounded during the season isnt
as enjoyable.
Kiffin needs to make the
most of Tennessees upcoming
spring practices. Ultimately, the
Volunteers are going to need a
lot more than that to drown out
their arrogant coach.
MISSING: HATED
COACHES IN THE BIG 12
Between Kiffin, Spurrier and
Meyer, the SEC is full of coaches
who are infamous for stirring up
controversy with their cockiness.
The Big 12 is not. Think about
it. There are no truly despised
football coaches in the Big 12.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops and
Texas coach Mack Brown are
envied. Texas Tech coach Mike
Leach is eccentric. Oklahoma
State coach Mike Gundy and
Colorado coach Dan Hawkins
are famous because of press con-
ference rants.
But none of the guys initiate
inner-conference coaching feuds.
Someday, that will change. It only
takes one guy like Kiffin to do
the job.

Jayhawks ready to place strong in standings
By JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
Freshman sprinter Keith Hayes
knows the importance of swagger
at a track meet.
Thats one of the key elements
in track; to be successful is to
know that youre going to be suc-
cessful and to carry yourself like
that, Hayes said.
The Kansas track and field
team will need to carry that swag-
ger into College Station, Texas, as
it competes at the Big 12 Indoor
Championships.
This weekends meet will take
place at Texas A&Ms Gilliam
Indoor Track stadium, and the
team is ready to take on all of its
conference rivals.
Everyones in really good shape
and for those that are going, were
looking forward to them com-
peting and having the opportu-
nity to compete against some very
good competition, coach Stanley
Redwine said.
Its been two weeks since the
team competed in Arkansas
and Iowa at
the Tyson
Invit at i onal
and Iowa State
Classic. But
the Jayhawks
are ready to
perform at
their best to
place strong
in the Big 12
standings.
Its very important to show
that were improving every year,
sophomore sprinter Kendra
Bradley said.
Bradley, seniors Charity
Stowers and ShaRay Butler and
freshman Shayla Wilson, will be
competing in the 400-meter dash
and the 4x400-meter relay.
Bradley said the competing
teams train differently than the
Jayhawks.
They train to run fast early in
the season. We train to run fast
when it matters, Bradley said.
Im not really worried about
what theyve done in the past,
all that matters is what happens
that day.
Last year the women placed
third behind Texas A&M and
Nebraska respectively, while the
men placed ninth. Senior sprinter
Victoria Howard said theres no
reason the women cant build on
that impressive finish.
This year, were all going to
have to step up on the womens
side and get as many points as
possible, Howard said. Its going
to be tough but thats what the
Big 12 is.
Howard will be competing in
the 60- and 200-meter dashes.
Last year Howard placed eighth
in the 200.
On the mens side, Hayes said
Kansas shows a different side of
itself at every meet.
Its going to be a whole other
Kansas team than we showed
at the Kansas-Missouri duel,
than we showed at the Tyson
Invitational, said Hayes, who will
compete in the 60-meter hurdles.
Were coming to compete, were
coming to win.
In the distance events, soph-
omore Amanda Miller will be
competing in both the 3,000 and
5,000 runs. Miller said her focus
was on the 5,000 because she felt
confident in scoring points for
the team. Running both of those
events for the men is senior Colby
Wissel. Wissel provisionally qual-
ified for indoor nationals in the
5,000 in Washington at the Husky
Invitational on Feb. 14.
In the field events, all eyes will
be on junior Jordan Scott as he
goes for his third straight Big 12
title in the pole vault. Scott said
hes trying not to put too much
pressure on himself, but he wont
be happy unless he wins.
Redwine just wants the team
to compete to the best of its abili-
ties.
Ill be just as excited if every-
one reaches their potential ver-
sus some people not doing whats
expected of them, Redwine said.
We want everyone to go out and
do whats expected of them and
its an opportunity for the team to
step up and get the job done.

Freshman Keith Hayes clears a series of hurdles during the Jayhawks Jan. 16 meet against Missouri in Lawrence. The Big 12 Indoor Cham-
pionships begin today in College Station, Texas.
The team has been
training to rise to
its fullest potential
NCAA
MU is one game behind
KU, tied with OU for second
COLUMBIA, Mo. Up 23 points
at halftime, Missouri players easily
could have allowed their minds
to wander to the upcoming 1-2
punch against the Big 12 leaders.
The 11th-ranked Tigers refused
to blame such daydreaming for
a so-so fnish that ran their home
record to 17-0.
The Tigers (24-4, 11-2) are tied
for second in the conference with
Oklahoma, one game behind
Kansas, and have won seven in a
row in Big 12 play for the frst time
since 1999-2000. The 11 confer-
ence wins ties the schools most
in the conference and theyve
clinched a frst-round bye in the
conference tournament.
Missouri likes to keep the heat
on everybody else, thriving under
coach Mike Andersons all-out,
full-court pressing style. The Tigers
come at their opponents in waves,
11 deep in the rotation, winning
by an average of 26.1 points at
home and by 21 in Big 12 play.
A 2-point thriller over Kansas
earlier this month is the lone ex-
ception to a string of double-digit
wipeouts at home.
Coach Frank Martin is getting
weary of constant NCAA tourna-
ment questions.
If we win today, tomorrow
morning they come out and say
OK, Kansas State is in, Martin
said. Then we lose again next
week and they say OK, K-State is
out.
Every game at this time of the
year is important.

COLUMBIA, Mo. Despite a
season-best time, the Kansas med-
ley relay team wasnt completely
thrilled with its performance. The
team had high expectations, coach
Clark Campbell said, and it was
hoping to make a 3:35 time.
Senior Danielle Herrmann had
her goggles come off mid-race but
finished with a strong time.
Thats one of the hardest things
to deal with during a race, senior
Maria Mayrovich said. She still
kept swimming and finished strong
though.
Finishing with a time of 3:38.32,
freshman Abigail Anderson, soph-
omore Iullia Kuzhil and seniors
Mayrovich and Herrmann placed
third. The old season best for
Kansas was 3:44.30 and the school
record was 3:40.19. Kansas shat-
tered them both.
We got some really big swims
out of Iullia and Abigail, Campbell
said.
The swimmers started the team
off with individual preliminary
races yesterday morning, advancing
two seniors to the finals, Danielle
Herrmann in the 200-yard individ-
ual medley and Maria Mayrovich
in the 50-yard freestyle. Kansas
also had two divers, sophomore
Erin Mertz and junior Meghan
Proehl advance to the 1-meter div-
ing finals yesterday evening.
Herrmann swam the 200-yard
IM in 2:01.13 in the preliminaries
but swam the finals heat with a
time of 2:01.23, finishing in sixth
place overall. Both of these times
break Herrmanns season best time
of 2:03.70 earlier in the season at
Miami.
Danielle [Herrmann] was a
little disappointed with her perfor-
mance today, Campbell said. But
there are still more races to come.
Mayrovich swam the 50-yard
freestyle in a time of 22.49 seconds
and shaved off a few hundredths
of a second to finish third in the
finals with a time of 22.37 seconds.
Mayrovich also broke her season
best time of 22.82 seconds.
It was a good warm-up since we
still have two days to go, Mayrovich
said. I had a good race and I think
that my time will qualify me for the
NCAA [Championship].
Despite not going to the finals,
senior Anne Liggett had the chance
to do a run-off race to make the top
24 finishers in the 50-yard free-
style. Liggett beat out her opponent
from Texas A&M by four one-hun-
dredths of a second and finished
with a time of 23.55 seconds.
Swimming is about racing and
a swim-off race is like the ultimate
race, Liggett said.
In the 1-meter diving finals
Mertz finished eighth with a score
of 280.35 and Proehl finished sev-
enth with a score of 281.10. The
Kansas divers will have 3-meter
diving today and platform diving
on Saturday.
After two days of competi-
tion Kansas has 173 points and is
ranked fourth. Texas leads with
301, followed by Texas A&M with
281 and Missouri with 209.

McCray steps up with timely scoring
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
The turning point in Wednesday
nights victory against Oklahoma
State happened with 12:15 remain-
ing, an eternity in the basketball
world.
At that moment, the Cowgirls
and their fans stormed back
into the game, using a 9-0 run
to take a 40-38 lead. In the past,
similar punches left Kansas bat-
tered and unable to piece together
an answer.
But for the second time in
as many games, junior forward
Danielle McCray provided stabil-
ity, scoring five consecutive points
to give the Jayhawks a lead they
wouldnt relinquish.
Facing Nebraska inside Allen
Fieldhouse Saturday at 7 p.m.,
Kansas will need more of the
same.
We needed somebody like that
to step up and want the ball,
senior guard Ivana Catic said.
And not just want the ball for
the wrong reasons. She wants the
ball and she knows what to do
with it.
In Kansas last two games
both victories McCray has
averaged 27 points and nearly 15
rebounds, while making 53 per-
cent of her shots.
Still, the manner in which
McCray has scored made those
numbers even more staggering.
On Kansas final first-half pos-
session, McCray dribbled at the
top of the three-point line while
Kansas other four players lined
the baseline.
As the shot clock neared zero,
McCray drove to the free throw
line before knocking down a
tightly contested jump shot to give
Kansas a 26-22 lead.
(Wednesday) night was one of
those nights where I just needed
to get the ball to D and she was
going to do something, Catic
said. With her, I just know that
shes going to do something.
McCray has shouldered Kansas
offensive load throughout the sea-
son. Yet, few of her performances
have featured such crucial and
timely scoring.
When the score tightened and
Oklahoma State began surging
back into the game, McCray deliv-
ered.
Im very confident in myself,
McCray said. Any good player, in
the heat of the moment and when
things are tough, you want the ball
in your hands.
Yet, in victories against Iowa
State and Oklahoma State, McCray
displayed a keen sense of timing:
when to shoot and when to defer
to a teammate.
Theres little doubt that McCray
is Kansas go-to player You
pretty much know that if the play
breaks down, thats who you go
to, Catic said but in previ-
ous games Kansas supporting cast
hasnt always played its part.
That trend changed in Kansas
last two games.
Your entire defense is focused
on her, Catic said, and then
someone else can sneak in and
score points.
Last Sunday against Iowa State,
junior guard Sade Morris stepped
up by scoring 16 points, includ-
ing eight straight at the end of
the game.
On Wednesday night, sopho-
more forward Nicollette Smiths
outside shooting and offensive
presence inside allowed her to
chip in 13 points all in the
second half.
Those added contributions,
combined with McCrays more
efficient scoring, have been keys
for Kansas recent turnaround.
Danielles made better deci-
sions about shot selection and
has had better rhythm into shots,
coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The possessions where she has
bad footwork have reduced dras-
tically. And shes shared the ball.
Her teammates have executed
around her and hit big shots.

Team breaks season, school records but still in fourth
est player on the floor that night.
And of course, he had the Jimmy
Chitwood jumpshot, a beautiful
combination of legs and arms and
follow-through.
Hinrich was always the fastest
player on the floor.
Thats the Hinrich Bill Self
remembers. Self never got to
coach Hinrich, but Self s old
Illinois teams played Hinrich
twice, both times in the NCAA
tournament.
I just havent seen guys move
the ball up and down the floor
like he did, Self said, before
pausing. He began to think about
other fast players hes coached.
He mentioned freshman Tyshawn
Taylor, and then he stopped
again.
I havent seen anybody like
Hinrich-fast.
nnn
It was gray, mild and over-
cast on Thursday when Brady
Morningstar, clothed in a gray
sweatshirt, made the short walk
from the Jayhawker Towers to
Allen Fieldhouse for practice.
Morningstar entered the
Fieldhouse and snuck quietly
through the hallways, past the
campers sleeping on their air
mattresses, and back to the
Kansas locker
room.
Kirk Hinrich
used to make this
trip every day.
This old cathedral
of college bas-
ketball is where
Hinrich trans-
formed himself
from a marginal
Top 50 recruit
into the seventh
pick in the 2003
NBA draft. This is
where Hinrich inspired a genera-
tion of young Kansas kids to play
just like him.
Morningstar, a Lawrence
native, was one of those kids.
Morningstar was a seventh grader
when Hinrich arrived on campus
in 1999 from Sioux City West
High School, where he had played
for his father, Jim.
He had all areas of the game,
he played D, he could shoot,
Morningstar said. He was a kid
from Iowa that could really play.
Morningstar attended plenty
of Kansas games during those
years. He watched plenty more on
television. The more Morningstar
watched, the more he saw him-
self. Both were from the Midwest
and both would see critics ques-
tion whether they could be suc-
cessful at a program like Kansas.
I figured he was the clos-
est thing to what I could be,
Morningstar says. Just height-
wise, everything. I just tried to
pattern my game off of him and
watch what he did.
nnn
Heres my Kirk Hinrich story.
The 2003 National
Championship was supposed to
be the culmination ... at least,
thats how I saw it. It was sup-
posed to be a culmination of the
careers of Hinrich and his former
AAU teammate Nick Collison.
Im still pretty certain that no
two KU players have ever been as
beloved as Nick and Kirk. They
probably deserved a title.
Instead, that game turned into
a nightmare of Gerry McNamara
three-pointers and Kansas
missed free throws.
In the final minutes, as Kansas
furiously rallied, Kirk Hinrich
jumped into the air and his ankle
buckled underneath him. He
played those final minutes on a
bum ankle. It was pure guts and
adrenaline. And then, with a
few minutes remaining, Hinrich
drove baseline and threw down
one of the most ferocious dunks
of his career.
On Thursday, a reporter men-
tioned those two Final Four runs.
Its been six years, so much time
has past, and still, you got the
feeling those Final Four losses
still eat away at Hinrich.
I feel like if the ball would
have bounced a different way a
couple times, we would have had
a championship, Hinrich said.
nnn
Bill Self was pretty clear at
Thursdays conference. He said
theres no criteria for retiring a
jersey at Kansas.
You simply have to
be one of the best.
He deserves it,
Self said. He with-
out question is one
of the best to ever
play here.
Heres one more
Hinrich story. It was
2003, Hinrich was
a senior and Kansas
was playing at
Missouri. The game
was tied 74-74 with
25 seconds left.
Nick Collisons baseline jump-
shot had sailed over the rim and
Michael Lee had snatched the
rebound. Lee spun toward the
top of the key and fired a pass to
Hinrich, who stood wait, how
far was he from the basket? 25
feet? 30 feet? He didnt dare chuck
from 30 feet, did he? He didnt
dare nail a game-winner with two
seconds on the shot clock and a
hand in his face? Of course, the
ball rattled in, and Kirk was the
hero.
Now on Saturday, Hinrich
will be back in Allen Fieldhouse
and Kansas will be back playing
Missouri.
And Hinrich admits that while
hes excited for the jersey cer-
emony, hes just as excited for the
game. Excited to be back in Allen
Fieldhouse and excited to feel the
rivalry again.
And as he says this, you realize
that Kirk Hinrich might be a few
years older, a few years wiser, and
the old haircut might be gone.
But hes still the Kirk Hinrich you
remember.
I dont know if theres a great-
er honor, he said, than having
your jersey hanging in the most
historic basketball building in the
world.

Kansas (15-11) vs. Nebraska (13-13)
when/where...
Tipof scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday at Allen Field-
house.
who to watch for...
Junior forward Cory Montgomery. Montgomery has
stepped her game up in conference play, and she had
her best game so far in the Cornhuskers victory over
Kansas State Wednesday night. She scored 21 points
and pulled down eight boards. Shes a forward, but she
isnt afraid to step outside. She hit three three-pointers
in the Huskers 52-47 upset win.
what to expect...
Kansas will focus on the defensive end and keep the
Huskers from scoring at will as they did in the second
half in the two teams frst meeting. Kansas is fresh
of dominant defensive performances against better
ofenses than Nebraska. Its very doubtful Nebraska will
score more than the 67 points they scored in the frst
matchup.


why kansas will win...
Kansas is playing its best basketball of the season. As
coach Bonnie Henrickson said in her postgame confer-
ence in Stillwater, Okla., no team stays the same in
February. They either get better or get worse. It looks
like this team is getting better.
How the game is important...
Kansas and Nebraska are tied in the Big 12 standings.
There is a good chance the Jayhawks will take on the
Cornhuskers in the frst round of the Big 12 tourna-
ment. The Jayhawks defnitely do not want to struggle
down the stretch and fall to 11th or 12th in the stand-
ings and be forced to play a top-level Big 12 team like
Texas in the frst round.
magic number...
105 The Cornhuskers have taken 105 more free
throws than their opponents, mostly because the
Cornhuskers foul very rarely. The Jayhawks will need
to fnish easy shots and not automatically expect the
contact.

KANSAS
(23-5, 12-1)
StArterS
Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 junior guard
Collins is one of the best point guards in
the nation. around here, everyone already
knew that. His last two games have started to
convince the country.

Tyshawn Taylor, 6-foot-3 freshman

guard
Consistency is Taylors issue. He had the
best game of his career against Oklahoma
following two weeks worth of frustrating
performances. He needs to limit turnovers
against Missouri.

Brady Morningstar, 6-foot-3 sophomore guard

Morningstar had a disastrous perfor-
mance against Oklahoma. Willie Warren
made him look silly, he recorded four fouls
and missed his four shots.

Marcus Morris, 6-foot-8 freshman forward

Marcus has improved defensively, but
will face a huge test trying to guard Leo
Lyons and/or DeMarre Carroll. The Jayhawks
cant allow either of them to get open looks
anywhere on the court.

Cole Aldrich, 6-foot-11 sophomore

center
Selfs biggest complaint after the frst Mis-
souri game was that Kansas stopped looking
for aldrich, who only scored eight points.
Missouri will do all it can to dissuade the
Jayhawks from throwing it into aldrich
again.

SIxTh man
Markief Morris, 6-foot-9
freshman forward
Markief has come alive
in the last two games
with 13 points, 11
rebounds and four
blocks. But he still
fouled out in 14 minutes against Oklahoma.

Six days after a battle for frst
place in the Big 12 Conference
against Oklahoma, Kansas has,
well, another battle for frst place.
The Jayhawks are on top of the Big
12 standings with a 12-1 record.
Missouri is tied for second with
an 11-2 record. But if the Tigers
beat the Jayhawks, they will be
alone in frst place because of two
head-to-head victories. Its going
to be tougher this time around for
Missouri, though. aside from the
obvious fact that the game will
be held in allen Fieldhouse, the
Jayhawks still remember the feel-
ing they got watching Missouri
fans rush the foor after being
defeated in Columbia, Mo. They
want revenge.
Senior forward Leo Lyons
Frontcourt partner DeMarre
Carroll gets most of the attention,
which is exactly why Lyons will
need to shine on Sunday. Carroll
pulled down a career-high 14
rebounds against Kansas State
on Wednesday,
but he wont
be able to get
numbers like
that against
Cole aldrich.
Lyons needs to
grab at least
his average six
rebounds and
try to alleviate
the defensive on Carroll by post-
ing up whoever is playing the four
spot for Kansas. If Lyons plays well,
Carroll has more room to oper-
ate, which is a scary thought for
Kansas.
No Big 12 team is playing bet-
ter than the Tigers right now. Mis-
souri has won seven in a row and
11 of its last 12. That includes a
thrilling home victory over Kansas.
Wednesday night Missouri routed
Kansas State 94-74. That, paired
with a Valentines Day beat down
of Nebraska, avenged Missouris
only conference losses. Both of
those came on the road, which is
the only time the Tigers are sus-
ceptible to defeat. Missouri gets
Oklahoma at home on Wednes-
day, which means a second rivalry
victory puts the Tigers in the Big
12 drivers seat.
Sophomore center Cole Aldrich
Hes unstoppable. Heck, lately
hes even been impossible to slow
down. Dating
back to the
last Missouri
game, aldrich
is averaging
13 rebounds
per game. Hes
second in the
Big 12 in the
category, and
Kansas leads
the conference in rebounding
margin a statistic Kansas coach
Bill Self cites as his teams most im-
pressive. Self has aldrich to thank
for it. aldrichs dominance on the
boards limits second-chance scor-
ing opportunities for opponents
and can demoralize smaller big
men. Overall, aldrich is averaging
15 points and 11 rebounds.
How will Kansas deal with
Missouris pressure defense?
Pitifully. Thats how Self said
Kansas did against Missouris pres-
sure in the frst meeting. Kansas
turned the ball over 27 times in a
62-60 defeat. Thats the most turn-
overs this season for the Jayhawks
and the third most in the last 20
years. A repeat performance will
result in a loss. No question. But
its unlikely the Jayhawks will play
that poorly in Allen Fieldhouse.
Theyve had a week to prepare for
it, and Self has certainly stressed
the importance of ball control in
every practice this week.
It was tough to play down
there real tough to play. But
now, were at our house and the
crowd will be to our favor. Weve
been looking toward this game.
This is a game thats been circled
on our calendar.
Junior guard Sherron Collins
Its going to be one of those
games that lingers for the longest
time.

Missouri three weeks ago
ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF
Its treated to a dominating point guard performance. On a day
where Kirk Hinrichs jersey will be retired at halftime, it would be
appropriate. all eyes are on Sherron Collins, who scored 26 points
with three assists at Oklahoma. If Collins plays anywhere near that
level Sunday and theres no reason to believe he wont Hinrich
should consider it an honor.
PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS
GRAVE IF ...
Kansas is outrebounded. This shouldnt even be an issue consid-
ering Kansas grabbed 20 more rebounds than Missouri at Mizzou
arena. But the Jayhawks are dangerously relying on aldrich alone
to do the work lately. against Oklahoma, no one else on the roster
had more than three rebounds. Missouri isnt a great rebounding
team, but certainly capable. Marcus and/or Markief Morris need to
provide relief for aldrich by scrapping alongside him down low.
Prediction:
KANSAS 79, MISSOURI 77

StArterS
J.T. Tiller, 6-foot-3 junior guard
On Wednesday Tiller reached the century
mark in assists. Tiller also leads Missouri
with 53 steals and pours in 7.8 points per
game.

Zaire Taylor, 6-foot-4 junior guard

Missouris hero on Feb. 9 has scored
a total of six points in three games since
handing Kansas its only conference defeat.

Kim English, 6-foot-6 freshman guard

The freshman is stuck in a serious funk
right now. Hes averaging four points per
game since scoring eight against Kansas.
While his points have dipped, Englishs
recent bump in turnovers has made him a
liability.

DeMarre Carroll, 6-foot-8 senior forward

Carroll is an extremely talented player
who can take over a game when needed,
much like Sherron Collins. He will get
plenty of attention from Kansas big men,
but they still couldnt stop him from
scoring 22 points in the last meeting.

Leo Lyons, 6-foot-9 senior forward

Lyons is always right behind Carroll, ready to step in any
time the Tigers need an energy boost.
Missouri will need both forwards to be
on-target in order to counter Kansas size
advantage.

SIxTh man
Matt Lawrence, 6-foot-7 senior
guard
averaging 8.9 points per game, Law-
rence is Missouris third-leading scorer.
Hes also its most lethal threat beyond the
arc, where hes hit 41 percent of his 145
three-point attempts.

Can Missouri keep up with
Kansas on the glass?
The Jayhawks outrebounded
the Tigers by 20 (48-28) but gave
away most of those possessions
with turnovers. Thats not likely
to happen at home, so Missouri
must make more of an efort to hit
the boards and fght aldrich for
rebounds. Since that game, the Ti-
gers have stayed even in rebound-
ing margin, but none of those
games pitted them against a
quality big man. Missouris ability
to grab rebounds and keep Kansas
from getting second-chance
points could be the diference in
this game.
We did a tremendous job in
the frst half attacking the glass.
We had a lot of guys getting in
there and sticking their noses in.
Missouri coach Mike Anderson after Wednes-
days 94-74 victory over Kansas State
Yeah we were thinking about
Kansas, Kansas State. With the
Kansas game coming up, its just
another game, like this one.
