For most college students, reality television
is a guilty pleasure. For the seven University
sophomores who participated in High
School Confidential, a WE tv documentary
about high school life in Overland Park, it
describes their high school lives perfectly.
When the show premieres on March 10,
Cate, Crystle, Beth, Sarah T., Gina, Cappie
and Courtney will see some of the most per-
sonal details about their high school lives on
display for anyone with cable to see.
Their last names and the high school the
girls attended are not revealed in the show.
Filmmaker Sharon Liese captured a variety
of emotions, challenges and successes that
each girl experienced during the course of
four years through interviews and documen-
tary work. Cate, whose brief struggle with
depression and an eating disorder is featured
in her episode, said she hoped people would
see just how many pressures teens currently
faced.
I hope they see that even though we
went to a primarily white, suburban high
school that its not all Leave it to Beaver,
Cate said.
Even though the experience hadnt been
entirely positive, she said she would definitely
do it again if she had the opportunity. Cates
father, Rick, wasnt so sure. Although it was
eye-opening to see what his daughter had
gone through, he said it was difficult to have
family business aired across the country.
Others were more anxious about what they
may have said rather than done.
Sarah T. said she hadnt seen her episode
yet, but that she didnt really have anything
to hide about herself from others. She said
she was trying not to dwell on the fact that
the premiere was rapidly approaching, but
was worried about what she may have said on
camera that she doesnt remember now.
Im more concerned about anything I may
have said about other people, Sarah T. said.
She said she decided to participate in order
to show a different side to high school life
than the one depicted on television. When the
project began, Sarah T. said she couldnt have
imagined it would have received the attention
it has. She said her friends were more excited
for her episode than she was, and that she was
not yet sure if she would watch the premiere.
She may be the only one. High School
Confidential has been the talk of Internet
message boards because of the networks
work promoting the show on Youtube and
increasing media coverage. Liese, Cate and
two other girls are in New York this week for
appearances on the Tyra Banks Show and
Good Morning America.
Liese said she came upon the idea while
thinking about the kind of experiences and
pressures her own daughter would face during
high school. She sent letters to each incoming
freshman girl in her daughters class and, after
interviewing those who responded, settled on
12 girls with a variety of family and ethnic
backgrounds.
Unlike contemporary reality TV programs
such as Laguna Beach and The Hills,
the girls who participated in High School
Confidential didnt have cameramen fol-
lowing their every move. Rather, each would
have a one-on-one interview with Liese a few
times a year, and were filmed at school and at
home at select times. The show also includes
interviews with the girls parents.
Liese said that after four years following
and documenting each girls life she felt an
emotional connection with each of them.
I was there for my daughters graduation,
Liese said. But I also saw these 12 girls walk
across the stage and I had chills each time
they walked across to get their diplomas. I
knew their lives, I knew their struggles and I
knew their triumphs.

Students will have the chance to submit
questions to student body presidential and
vice presidential candidates in The University
Daily Kansans Student Senate debate, which
will be held the week after spring break.
The Kansan, which has never hosted a
debate before, is inviting students to submit
questions to candidates via the YouTube
channel Kansandotcom. The questions will
then be played for the candidates during the
debate.
Darla Slipke, Bristol, Conn., senior and
Kansan editor-in-chief, will be one of the
moderators of the debate. The Kansan will
collaborate with KJHK-FM and KUJH-TV,
the campus radio and TV stations, for the
event.
Slipke said the debate was a way to get
more readers involved in the Student Senate
elections. She said many students didnt real-
ize how important Student Senate was and
how much influence they could have on
student life, especially through dispersal of
student fees.
The debate is a great way to let students
ask questions and make informed decisions,
Slipke said.
Slipke said that the generation of students in
college now are very involved with technology,
so the debate would likely appeal to them.
Brian Lewis-Jones, Lenexa senior and
Kansan Web editor, said the debate would
be a great way to raise awareness about local
democracy and that he hoped the debate
would take away the passive outlook some
students have on the election.
The Kansan logo says The Student Voice
Since 1904, Lewis-Jones said. As of now, I
see no better opportunity to perpetuate the
student voice.
Lewis-Jones said the debate was mod-
eled off the CNN-YouTube debate between
U.S. presidential candidates. Viewers submit-
ted questions to YouTube, which were then
played for candidates when the debate aired
on CNN.
Lewis-Jones is also integrating other types
of multimedia into the debate. Coalitions will
have their own blog on Kansan.com. They
will be limited in their number of posts, and
all posts will go through a moderator.
Brett Murray, Lenexa junior and news
director at KJHK-FM, said that although
the station has never broadcast the debate
live before, the station would try to do it
this year. He said the station would then
rebroadcast the debate and air other Senate
stories to complete what he said is the most
extensive Senate coverage hes ever heard by
KJHK-FM.
Murray said that by using the different
multimedia, he hoped to reach as many stu-
dents as possible. He said students needed to
be aware that Senate controlled student-paid
fees and that voting for them would encour-
age good voting practices later in life.
The importance of the right to vote is
very understated in this country, Murray
said.
Dick Nelson, general manager and news
coordinator at KUJH-TV, said the television
station would also be involved in the debate.
Nelson said the station wanted to broadcast
the debate live, but hadnt done much live
coverage and had to coordinate the technol-
ogy to make it possible. He said if they didnt
broadcast live, they would either tape the
story and rebroadcast it on the station or
stream it on the Internet.
The debate will be held at 7 p.m. on
Tuesday, March 26, in Woodruff Auditorium
in the Kansas Union.

CAPE MAY, N.J. Having
learned a lesson about the birds and
the beach, this Victorian seaside
resort adopted a compromise plan
Tuesday to protect both by keeping
cats away from them.
After nearly a year of conflict
that pitted cat lovers against bird
lovers in one of North Americas
prime bird-watching spots, the City
Council approved a plan to move
feral cat colonies 1,000 feet away
from the beach.
The move was necessary to pro-
tect endangered shore birds like the
piping plover and the least tern, both
of which are vulnerable to cats and
other predators because they nest on
the ground, in ruts on Cape Mays
popular beach.
Because the birds are listed as
endangered species, federal envi-
ronmental officials had threatened
to withhold funds for replenishing
Cape Mays beach if the city refused
to protect the birds.
Its important to protect our
beaches, said Councilwoman Linda
Steenrod. At the same time, its impor-
tant to protect life. That means all life. I
think we have a good compromise.
About 40 cat lovers picketed out-
side City Hall before Tuesdays vote,
chanting Feral cats wont go away,
revise the plan and let them stay.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
had wanted feral cat colonies banned
within one mile of the beach
which would have eliminated all
wild cats in Cape May, where both
cats and birds are popular.
The compromise calls for a 1,000-
foot buffer zone between the cats
and known bird nesting grounds.
The federal Endangered Species
Act prohibits killing, harming or
even bothering endangered birds
like piping plovers and least terns.

of shore bird, has fallen through. The cats backers, said there was no proof anything was killed.

The KU parking commission
will vote next Tuesday on a pro-
posal that would lower the price of
a Park and Ride permit from $205
to $100, while raising the prices of
all the other permits.
The Parking Department hasnt
determined how much it wants to
raise other permit prices, but May
Davis, transportation coordinator
for KU on Wheels, said she thought
all other permits should cost at
least $75 more than a Park and
Ride permit.
The goal of the proposal is to
motivate more students to buy Park
and Ride permits and park off cam-
pus, said Donna Hultine, director
of parking and transit.
Hultine said the proposal would
increase the on-campus parking
availability.
We realize theres not enough
parking on campus, Hultine said.
But if we can entice students to
park and ride, we can lower the
traffic congestion on campus.
If the proposal passes, the Transit
Department will buy two new Park
and Ride buses for $80,000 each.
Steven Schrock, co-chairman of
the parking commission, said the
department would use the money
raised from the increase of regular
permit prices to pay for the extra
buses.
Two more buses would make it
much more convenient for students
who park off campus, he said.
Wed be shooting ourselves in the
foot if we lowered the price for
Park and Ride, but didnt provide
additional buses for the increased
number of students whod be park-
ing out there.
The parking commission that
will vote on the issue includes
three student senators, three facul-
ty members, two professional staff
members and two support staff
members.
The commis-
sion will also
vote on wheth-
er the Parking
De p a r t me nt
should help pay
for students to
have access to
free bus rides.
However, the
exact details
on this pro-
posal have not
yet been con-
firmed.
Some students, such as Luis
Lopez, Salina sophomore, think
the departments proposal is a bad
idea.
I dont like it because its inef-
ficient, because riding the Park and
Ride bus takes
way more time
to get to cam-
pus, he said.
I would be
more in favor
of building a
stacked parking
lot.
Davis, who
is also a mem-
ber of Student
Senate, said the
proposal would
benefit students with on-campus
parking permits and students with
Park and Ride permits.
Theres not going to be any
more parking on campus, so instead
of making students hunt for spots,
they will have a more economical
option where they can always find a
place to park, she said. And if you
buy the more expensive permit you
will also not be hunting for a spot
because people would have spread
out naturally.
Mary Klayder, honors lecturer
in the English department, said it
might be a hassle to park off cam-
pus, but that she could see where
the parking commission was com-
ing from.
Do I want to park off campus?
No, but I understand the desire to
lower traffic congestion on cam-
pus, Klayder said.

BOGOTA, Colombia
Hundreds of Venezuelan troops
moved Tuesday toward the border
with Colombia, amid heighten-
ing tension over Colombias cross-
border strike on a rebel base in
Ecuador.
The Organization of American
States scheduled an emergency
afternoon meeting in Washington to
try to calm one of the regions worst
political showdowns in years, pit-
ting U.S.-backed Colombia against
Venezuelas leftist President Hugo
Chavez and his allies. Colombian
and Ecuadorian officials, mean-
while, traded accusations in the
United Nations and the International
Criminal Court.
The escalation of tensions was
triggered over the weekend when
Colombia troops crossed the border
with Ecuador and killed Raul Reyes,
a top commander of the Colombian
Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia, or FARC rebels who had
set up a camp there.
Chavez, condemned the killing
and ordered about 9,000 soldiers to
Venezuelas border with Colombia.
He warned Colombian President
Alvaro Uribe that any strike on
Venezuelan soil could provoke a
South American war.
Several Latin American leftist
leaders have suggested the U.S. was
intimately involved in executing the
raid that killed Reyes. Colombian
military officials have said U.S. sat-
ellite intelligence and communica-
tions intercepts have been key to
putting the FARC on the defensive.
Another victim of the crisis may
be border trade worth $5 billion a
year, most of it Colombian exports
sorely needed by Venezuelans
already suffering milk and meat
shortages.
Venezuela said it would stop new
exports and imports. At one closed
border crossing, in Paraguachon,
Venezuela, authorities stopped
trucks lined up for about a half a
mile Tuesday morning. But traffic
was flowing normally at another
crossing, in El Amparo, where a
handful of Venezuelan troops stood
watch as usual, the customs office
was open and traffic passed freely.

The Secretary of the Kansas
Department of Health and
Environment, Roderick Bremby, will
lecture about climate change at 7
tonight in the Robert J. Dole Institute
of Politics. But Bremby may not be
able to comment on the issue that has
brought him the most attention.
Bremby, who was appointed to his
current position by Gov. Kathleen
Sebelius, gained national recognition
this past October because of his deci-
sion to reject a plan to build two coal
plants in Holcomb.
With Brembys decision, the
department became the first govern-
ment agency to cite carbon dioxide
emissions as the reason for rejecting
the construction of a coal plant.
The departments decision ignited
a statewide debate about the future of
coal, and in mid-February, the Kansas
Senate and House of Representatives
passed two new bills that would
give the Holcomb coal plants a state
emissions permit. The bills are cur-
rently in a House-Senate conference
committee, but many suspect that
Sebelius, who called the bills unac-
ceptable, will veto any bill that isnt
significantly altered.
Bremby, considered an ally by
many Kansas environmentalists,
said he could not comment on some
aspects of the Holcomb legislation.
I really cant talk much about the
case itself, but I can revisit comments
that have already been a part of pub-
lic record, Bremby said. Itll be a
tightrope walk.
Brian Sifton, a Kansas City, Mo.,
senior and coordinator for KU
Environs, said Brembys decision was
important for KU environmentalists.
It was a break from the status
quo, Sifton said.
Sifton said KU Environs, a student
organization designed to promote
awareness of environmental issues,
had been paying close attention to
the Holcomb legislation.
Everyone wants to know what
hes going to say about it, Sifton
said.
Bremby said his lecture would
address climate change at the local
level and how the department made
its decisions.
Climate change is an issue that
we need to deal with, Bremby said.
Whether we deal with it nationally
or we deal with it locally, I think fun-
damentally it will require each of us
to takes some steps to do what we can
to limit our greenhouse gases.
Brembys lecture is the second in
the University Lecture Series. The
series is being co-sponsored by
the KU Honors Program and The
Commons a partnership among
the Biodiversity Institute, the Hall
Center for the Humanities, and the
Spencer Museum of Art.
Sarah Crawford-Parker, assistant
director of the KU Honors Program,
said the lecture series was created
to tackle the climate change issue
creatively.
When youre dealing with some-
thing like climate change, its a com-
plicated issue, Crawford-Parker said.
Theres no one answer.
On Feb. 12, Nate Brunsell, assis-
tant professor of geography, spoke
on climate change. The series will
feature three more lecturers after
Bremby. William Pizer, a senior fel-
low for Resources for the Future,
will lecture on March 26; Andrew
Torrance, associate professor of law,
will speak on April 9; and photog-
rapher Terry Evans will lecture on
April 16.
Crawford-Parker said they expect
a large turnout for Bremby.
Its essential that these type of
opportunities exist on college cam-
puses. It provides an opportunity for
discussion and exploration, Bremby
said.

Gym ofers women-only hours
pOLITIcs
Vermont town could vote
to arrest Bush, Cheney
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON In a test of Harvards
famed open-mindedness, the uni-
versity has banned men from one of
its gyms for a few hours a week to
accommodate Muslim women who
say it offends their sense of modesty
to exercise in front of the opposite
sex.
The policy is already unpopular
with many on campus, including
some women who consider it sexist.
I think that its incorrect in a
college setting to institute a policy
in which half of the campus gets
wronged or denied a resource thats
supposed to be for everyone, said
student Lucy Caldwell, who also
wrote a column in The Harvard
Crimson newspaper critical of the
new hours.
Student Ola Aljawhary, who is
Muslim and works out elsewhere on
campus but is not one of the women
who requested the change, rejected
that argument.
The majority should be willing to
compromise, she said. I think thats
just basic courtesy. We must show
tolerance and respect for all others.
The trial policy went into effect
Feb. 4, about a month after a group
of six Muslim women, with the sup-
port of the Harvard College Womens
Center, asked the university for the
special hours, spokesman Robert
Mitchell said.
We get special requests from reli-
gious groups all the time and we try
to honor them whenever possible,
he said, noting that the school has
designated spaces for Muslim and
Hindu students to pray.
No men are allowed in the gym
between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on
Mondays, and between 8 a.m. and
10 a.m on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Even the staff during those times is
all women. The special hours allow
the Muslim women, who adhere to
traditional dress codes by covering
their hair and most of their skin while
in public, to dress more appropriately
for exercising, said Susan Marine,
director of the womens center.

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. Voters
in this southern Vermont town
were deciding Tuesday wheth-
er to approve a measure calling
for the indictment of President
Bush and Vice President Dick
Cheney on charges of violating the
Constitution.
The symbolic article seeks to
have police arrest Bush and Cheney
if they ever visit Brattleboro or
to extradite them for prosecu-
tion elsewhere if theyre not
impeached first.
Our town attorney has no legal
authority to draw up any papers to
allow our police officers to do so,
said Town Clerk Annette Cappy,
but the gentleman who initiat-
ed the petition got the signatures
(and) wanted it on the ballot to
make a statement.
A steady stream of voters parad-
ed into the Brattleboro Union High
School gym to cast their ballots
on a day when school board elec-
tions and Vermonts presidential
primary were also on the slate.
Organizers of the indictment
campaign were frustrated that the
printed ballot ended up relegat-
ing the Bush-Cheney indictment
article to the back side, which they
said would cause some people to
miss it.
The 8-by-14-inch yellow card-
board ballot listed the offices and
candidates in the local election on
one side, and at the bottom in
block letters Turn Ballot Over and
Continue Voting.
Turn Over Ballot and Indict
Bush, read a 3-by-4-foot hand-
made picket sign carried by Kurt
Daims, 54, who organized the peti-
tion drive and stood outside the
school Tuesday.
Voters interviewed after casting
ballots said they saw the article
as an opportunity to express their
frustration over the war in Iraq and
Bushs tenure in general.
I realize its an extreme thing to
do, and really silly in a way, said
Robert George, 74, a retired pho-
tographer. But Im really angry
about us getting involved in the
war in Iraq and him (Bush) disre-
specting the will of the people.

PITTSBURGH To the list of
simple childhood pleasures whose
safety has been questioned, add this:
eating snow.
A recent study found that snow
even in relatively pristine spots
like Montana and the Yukon con-
tains large amounts of bacteria.
Parents who warn their kids not
to eat dirty snow (especially the
yellow variety) are left wondering
whether to stop them from tasting
the new-fallen stuff, too, because
of Pseudomonas syringae, bacteria
that can cause diseases in bean and
tomato plants. But experts say theres
no need to banish snow-eating.
Its a very ubiquitous bacteria
thats everywhere, said Penelope
Dennehy, a member of the American
Academy of Pediatrics committee
on infectious diseases. Basically,
none of the food we eat is sterile. We
eat bacteria all the time.
Children practically bathe in bac-
teria when they go to the playground,
and Dennehy said they wont get
anything from snow they wouldnt
get from dirt.
We eat stuff thats covered with
bacteria all the time, and for the
most part its killed in the stomach,
said Joel Forman, a member of the
pediatric academys committee on
environmental health. Your stom-
ach is a fantastic barrier against inva-
sive bacteria because its a very acidic
environment.
There are exceptions. Tiny kids
on formula a lot of times dont have
the acid in their stomachs, mak-
ing them more vulnerable to bacte-
ria in general, said Lynnette Mazur,
a professor of pediatrics at the
University of Texas Medical School.
Also, Forman and Mazur said that
Pseudomonas can be a threat to
people with cystic fibrosis.
The study, published last week in
the journal Science, didnt examine
the effects on people. And experts
say without further information, it is
impossible to say what the bacteria
could do to a child who eats extraor-
dinary amounts.
Some parents say they are not
going to worry about their kids eat-
ing snow that looks clean.
My snow-eating concerns are
generally more of the dirt-urine
variety, said Kristin Lang, 37, of
Maplewood, N.J., whose 2-year-old
son Charlie has swallowed his share
of snow.
When I heard bacteria, at first
I went eew, said Tricia Sweeney,
a mother of three in Cornwall-on-
Hudson, N.Y. But as long as the kids
eat snow as its falling, I think its
OK. I tell them not to eat it if its on
the ground.

McCain clinches nomination; Hillary wins key delegates
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Hillary
Rodham Clinton scored comeback
primary wins in Ohio, Texas and
Rhode Island Tuesday night, dent-
ing Barack Obamas delegate lead in
a riveting Democratic presidential
race. Arizona Sen. John McCain, an
unflinching supporter of the war in
Iraq, clinched the Republican nomi-
nation.
Clintons three triumphs ended
a month of defeats for the former
first lady, and she told jubilant sup-
porters, Were going on, were going
strong and were going all the way.
Obama won the Vermont prima-
ry, and sought to counter Clintons
claims that the night had been a
race-altering event. We have nearly
the same delegate lead as we did this
morning and we are on our way to
winning this nomination, he told
supporters in Texas.
The two rivals also competed for
support in caucuses in Texas that
began 15 minutes after the states
primary polls closed.
Both Democrats called McCain
a Senate colleague to con-
gratulate him on his triumph in the
Republican race.
The 71-year-old Arizona sena-
tor surpassed the 1,191 delegates
needed to win his partys nomina-
tion, completing a remarkable come-
back that began in the snows of
New Hampshire eight weeks ago.
President Bush invited him to lunch
and an endorsement at the
White House on Wednesday.
We are in Iraq, and our most vital
security interests are involved there,
said McCain at a victory celebration
nearly a decade in the making.
McCains last remaining major
rival, former Arkansas Gov. Mike
Huckabee, conceded defeat after a
campaign that included a stunning
victory in the leadoff Iowa caucuses
on Jan. 3. My commitment to him
and the party is to do everything
possible to unite our party, but more
important to unite our country so
that we can be the best we can be,
Huckabee said in Irving, Texas.
Clinton won the Rhode Island
primary with more than 58 percent
of the vote.
But Ohio and Texas were the
big trophies of the night, rich in
delegates and according to Bill
Clinton must-win states for his
wife.
Her share of the Ohio vote was 55
percent in nearly complete returns,
and she was winning nearly 51 per-
cent in Texas.
Obama was gaining roughly 60
percent of the Vermont vote.
In the four-state competition for
delegates, Clinton picked up at least
100, to at least 77 for Obama. Nearly
200 more remained to be allocated
for the night, 163 of them in the
Texas primary and caucuses.
Obama had a total of 1,466 del-
egates, including separately chosen
party and elected officials known
as superdelegates, according to the
Associated Press count. He picked
up three superdelegate endorse-
ments Tuesday,
Clinton had 1,376 delegates. It
takes 2,025 to win the nomination.
With their remarks, first Clinton,
then Obama, sought to frame the
race in the best possible terms for
their own campaigns.
They call Ohio a bellwether state,
the battleground state. Its a state
that knows how to pick a president
and no candidate in recent history,
Democrat or Republican, has won
the White House without winning
the Ohio primary, the former first
lady said in Columbus.
Clinton and Obama spent most
of the past two weeks in Ohio and
Texas in a costly, bruising campaign,
with the former first lady question-
ing his sincerity in opposing NAFTA
and questioning his readiness to
serve as commander in chief.
Polling place interviews with vot-
ers in both states suggested the criti-
cism hit home, showing Clinton was
winning the votes of late deciders in
Ohio and Texas, as well as Vermont.
Hispanics, a group that has
favored Clinton in earlier primaries,
cast nearly one-third of the Election
Day votes in Texas, up from about
one- quarter of the ballots four years
ago, according to interviews with
voters as they left their polling plac-
es. Blacks, who have voted heavily
for Obama this year, accounted for
roughly 20 percent of the votes cast,
roughly the same as four years ago.
The economy was the No. 1 con-
cern on the minds of Democratic
voters in Texas, Rhode Island and
especially in Ohio. But in Vermont,
almost as many voters said the war
in Iraq was their top concern.
More than three-quarters of Ohio
Democrats said international trade
had cost their state more jobs than it
had created.
Roughly six in 10 of the Democrats
who were questioned outside the
polls Tuesday said that so-called
superdelegates, who are party offi-
cials, should vote at the national
convention based on the results of
primaries and caucuses. That was
unwelcome news for Clinton, who
trails Obama among delegates picked
in the states but holds a lead among
superdelegates.
Obama had campaigned hoping
to land a knockout blow. As of March
1, his campaign had spent about
$9 million on television advertis-
ing in Texas and about $4.5 million
in Ohio; Clinton had spent about
$5 million in Texas and about $2.3
million in Ohio, according to TNS
Media Intelligence/CMAG, an ad
tracking firm.
Clinton showed no sign of surren-
der as she campaigned on Tuesday.
You dont get to the White House as
a Democrat without winning Ohio,
she said in Houston.
My husband didnt get the nomi-
nation wrapped up until June (in
1992). That has been the tradition,
she added, without mentioning that
this year most primaries were held
much earlier than in 1992. This is a
very close race.
For his part, Obama was already
advertising in Mississippi, which
holds its primary next week, and
planned trips there and to Wyoming,
which has weekend caucuses.
Pennsylvania, the biggest single
prize left, holds its primary on April
22.
All those states coming up are
going to make a difference, he said.
It takes 2,025 delegates to win
the Democratic nomination, and
slightly more than 600 remained to
be picked in the 10 states that vote
after Tuesday.

Oprahs reality show gets

NEW YORK Books, TV movies, a
presidential candidate and now a
philanthropic reality show. Maybe
everything Oprah Winfrey touches
really does turn to gold.
Sundays premiere of Oprahs
Big Give on ABC was seen by 15.7
million people, the largest audi-
ence in prime-time last week for
any program not named American
Idol, according to Nielsen Media
Research.
ABC also did well with Mondays
prime-time remake of A Raisin in
the Sun, which fnished in the top
10 with 12.7 million viewers.
Meanwhile, NBC found that few
people cared about its much-bally-
hooed transfer of a series, Quarter-
life, from the Internet to broadcast.
Only 3.1 million people watched,
earning it a quick hook and shift to
the Bravo cable network.
Among the top four broadcast-
ers, only a Saturday night rerun of
an All-Star Tribute to Jimmy Kim-
mel had a smaller audience.

Thats Right on Target.

080793
Im sitting in Anschutz, frustrated,
trying to complete the days Sudoku
when Flo Ridas hit song Get Low
pushes its way through the jumbled
mess of numbers in my brain.
No, the song is not stuck in my
head. Its pulsing out of my neigh-
bors ear drums from the dime-size
headphones wedged in her ears.
Headphones have lost their pur-
pose.
No longer do they keep the lis-
teners music from disturbing others
when the music can still be heard
blaring through the barrier of the
headphones. Now it seems that some-
times the only reason headphones
are even worn is because iPods wont
work without them.
Often in the library, I hear more
muffled music playing than cell
phones going off. If you can manage
to click your cell phone on silent, you
can manage to turn the volume down
on your iPod, unless your thumb
isnt capable of counter-clockwise
motion.
The library is not the only prob-
lem, though. When Im sitting in a
classroom, five minutes before the
start of class, frantically trying to fin-
ish the 30 pages of reading that I pro-
crastinated on the night before, noth-
ing distracts me more than someones
ears acting as a set of speakers.
Maybe this is because of ignorance.
Youre just so into Sara Bareilles
Love Song that you dont realize
how loud your music really is. Yet,
when your head is literally vibrating
to the lyrics of your music, its hard
for me to believe that you dont know
that your music is too loud.
Or maybe you know your music is
loud and just dont care.
You may be relishing in fantasies
of being a DJ, but no one else cares
about your new playlist. Its courtesy
people. Just turn the volume down.
Not only is turning the volume
down considerate, but maxed-out
volume really is bad for your ears.
When shopping at Target, I
noticed that both Nike and Sony
warn on their packages that contin-
ued use of their headphones at full
volume can damage hearing.
Even if youre willing to damage
your ear drums by listening to music
at full volume, at least keep it to your-
self.
Part of the reason others can hear
your music may be because of the
type of headphones. One feature of
Sonys clip-on headphones, with a
cuff that surrounds the ear, is that it
has a stable fit on the ears that mini-
mizes sound leakage.
While certain headphones may
contribute to the problem, I feel that
the real problem lies simply in that
volume bar. Headphones dont have
to be meaningless if you turn down
the volume.
Until then, I give up on my
Sudoku. Somehow I just cant con-
centrate with Flo Rida shouting at
me to get low.

journalism and business.

Anorexia.
It is a word that flashes the image
of a half-naked girl weakly hunching
over a body-length mirror observ-
ing her anatomy. Her spine looks
as though it may poke through her
skin, and her arms are sharply bent
to settle her frail hands upon her hips
that are no longer there. This person
is sick, and this person is always a
female.
But if we open our eyes just a little
wider we will come to find that this
person could actually be a male.
As if anorexia wasnt already a
serious illness in America, it actu-
ally has an embedded problem that
is often overlooked. Although many
women are known to have this dis-
order, societys influence has con-
vinced us that anorexia is exclusively
a womans problem.
According to a study by the
Harvard University of Medicine in
2007, 25 percent of Americans who
were diagnosed with an eating disor-
der were male.
The males Ive known rarely con-
fess feelings of illness or pain. They
bear their discomforts without com-
plaint and go through the day feeling
ill because they would rather suffer
than look weak.
This is exactly how some men
with eating disorders act when they
possess this womanly problem.
They will not confess to having an
eating disorder for the fear of becom-
ing emasculated.
If men are overweight, they may
be compared to women because they
are not muscular and slender like
the men in health magazines. They
actually possess womanly qualities
such as curves or a bust similar to a
womans.
Because they are compared to
a womans shape, they may strive
to avoid becoming emasculated by
developing an eating disorder to lose
the extra weight. By having this dis-
order they may conceal their femi-
nine illness because they fear the
comparison to women will make
them look weak as well. In other
words, by trying to look more like a
man by developing a womans disor-
der, they will automatically be con-
sidered weak because women signify
weakness.
It is also said that homosexual
men make up a large sum of anorex-
ic/bulimic males.
According to the Psychiatric
Times, 20 percent of males with eat-
ing disorders are gay, one of the
reasons being that there is a high
demand in the gay community for
men to look a certain way. Even
in places that are very accepting of
homosexuality, more discrimination
may lie within the gay community.
Expectations of looking healthy,
lean and muscular lead to low self-
esteem and promising chances of
eating disorders. Although we have
come a long way, we still live in
homophobic times. Therefore, some
gay males may not admit to their dis-
order for the fear of being a gay man
who also has an eating disorder.
Men and women both develop
these disorders in very similar ways.
Just like women who become ill,
men have similar psychological or
self-esteem issues that could trig-
ger anorexia or bulimia. The only
difference is that many men are not
coming forward with their problems,
or they are not aware that they have
one.
I find it very disturbing that a dis-
ease as serious as anorexia or bulimia
is gendered.
Because eating disorders are con-
sidered womens issues, it is difficult
for men to seek help. But eating
disorders can happen to anyone, and
if we are all aware of this, men could
start receiving the help they thought
they could or should not have. This
illness in men is simply overlooked,
and I am certain that male anorexia
will continue to increase because of
the growing demands of media and
society.
Although it is very hard to pin-
point exactly how important this
issue is in male lives, it should not
go unnoticed, and it should not be
ignored.

Troy Goff, Springhill junior, sits
hunched over, holding his white
and gold bottle of Purely Divine
tanning lotion.
Goff prefers Purely Divine, a
product by Swedish Beauty, because
its a white lotion instead of brown.
An employee calls Goff s name and
he crosses the lobby full of young
women to be escorted to his tan-
ning bed.
Ive never had people tell me
its weird that I tan, Goff said. I
like to stay tan all year round. I feel
more confident about myself and I
stay the same color all year.
Several tanning salons in
Lawrence have seen increases in
their male customers this tanning
season, which is January through
April. Managers consider every-
thing from tanning lotions, prices
and types of beds. When, where
and how managers place advertise-
ments directed toward men has
become important in recent years.
Salon managers and customers are
discovering that its no longer taboo
for men to tan.
Adam Faust, Olathe sophomore,
said he thinks society has become
more accepting of men who tan.
Before, there was kind of a stigma
about it, but now people dont care
what other people think, Faust
said.
Mike and Kathy Byrnes own
SunKissed Tanning salon, 2540
Iowa St. Along with remodeling
the building, the owners are also
discovering how to appeal to both
female and
male custom-
ers. One aspect
of SunKissed
that appeals to
male customers
is its selection
of male tanning
lotions. The
Byrneses decid-
ed to carry three
lotions specifi-
cally for males
and a few other unisex lotions, along
with lotions for female custom-
ers. Swinger costs $28 per bottle,
Mankind, $24, and Hammer,
$50. Mike Byrnes, who said hed
never tanned before owning the
salon, uses Hammer, which is
shaped like a mens cologne bottle
and has a similar fragrance.
Men are more frugal than many
women, Kathy said. Women are
more likely to spend money on
themselves than men are any day.
Kristi Lawrence, manager and
owner of Mango Tan, 4000 W. Sixth
St., agreed.
Its just like how much men will
pay for a haircut, Lawrence said.
Most women will put down $100
for a haircut and not think any-
thing about it.
Men arent like
that.
Mango Tan
has always had
a lot of men who
tan, Lawrence
said. Not just
college stu-
dents either,
Lawrence said.
Some are 65-
year-old men.
Unlike SunKissed Tanning, how-
ever, Lawrence said that she doesnt
stock her salon with tanning lotions
for men, simply because the prices
are too high and men wont pay
that price for lotion.
We allow our customers to
leave their lotions here, Lawrence
said. Guys prefer that, especially
when the lotion they carry has a
corny name like Sex Pot or Sex
Magnet.
According to salon managers
in Lawrence, the average percent-
age of male customers is about
10 percent. Lawrence said Mango
Tans customers were 15 percent
male. Mike Byrnes said in 2006, 15
percent of his customers were also
male. This year, though, in January
through February, SunKissed male
customers rose to 20 percent.
Lisa Spangler, regional man-
ager of Celsius Tannery, 4931 W.
Sixth St., said that the percentage
of male tanners was 15 percent at
all Celsius salons in a typical year.
Right before spring break and dur-
ing the tanning season months,
she said, the number jumped to 30
percent.
Spangler said that Celsius car-
ried unisex
lotions and that
men usually
bought the white
lotions, which
are strictly inten-
sifiers, while
brown lotions
are bronzers.
Guys want
something they
can slap on real
quick, Spangler
said. With a lotion, thats a bronzer
you have to apply it carefully in
order to avoid streaking.
When it comes to beds, the
Byrneses take particular care in
recommending the right bed for
customers.
Its not our intention to get
them in here,
bake em up
and send em
out, Kathy said.
Its more about
whats best for
them and their
skin care.
Mike said
men liked to
use the stand
up beds at
S u n K i s s e d .
Base beds are the simplest form
of tanning beds, have the lowest
wattage of ultra-violet rays and are
generally the cheapest.
The managers of SunKissed,
Celsius and Mango Tan have the
same standards on deciding how to
advertisethey leave sex out of it.
Spangler said she tries to use
unisex ads, whether theyre in
newspapers or on the radio. Mike
and Kathy Byrnes said they treated
their male customers like everyone
else and thought that referrals and
word of mouth were the best ways
to advertise.
When Goff finishes his tan-
ning session, he grabs a sucker in
the lobby and heads out the door.
Sometimes, Goff convinces a few
friends into coming with him to
try tanning. Other times, he wont,
and thats fine with him because
hell be the one who has a tan.

Her name is rarely announced in the
starting line-up and it doesnt always show
up in the box score, but according to coach
Bonnie Henrickson, its easy to find Jamie
Boyds fingerprints all over this team.
Despite watching most of the games
from the bench, the senior forward from
Underwood, Iowa has had as big of an
impact on the team as any player on the
roster. Thats because she does anything
and everything thats asked of her.
Shes one of the most unselfish kids
Ive ever coached, as far as her willing-
ness to mentor and tutor the young kids
and be a vocal leader, Henrickson said.
Sometimes thats hard when youre on the
bench, but shes done a great job.
Boyd is one of three co-captains, along
with senior forward Taylor McIntosh and
junior guard Ivana Catic, and she takes
that role seriously both in games and
practice.
Shes a bright and mature kid, on and
off the court, and she leads by example,
Henrickson said. Her teammates respect
her because she works her tail off.
If you came to practice youd think she
started and played 40 minutes a game.
Boyd has started five games in her four
years, including the game on Jan. 30 at
Oklahoma, and carries career averages of
2 ppg and 1.9 rpg. She understands that
being a leader extends beyond the court
and into the classroom, a place where her
competitiveness also shines.
In 2006 and 2007, Boyd was named to
the Academic All-Big 12 First Team and
she earned a 4.0 grade point average in the
fall 2007 semester.
No matter what it is, Im going to give
100 percent, Boyd said. Whatever it

enior Night at Allen Fieldhouse: The
pageantry. The tradition. The emo-
tion. The theatrics. The overblown
sentimentality.
I used to think I hated sitting through
the presentation and speeches after the
game on Senior Night. And then I became
a senior. This allowed me to gain new
appreciation and insights into the process,
enough so that I wanted to give my own
speech.
If I had, this is how it would have gone
down:
Max Falkenstien at center court of Allen
Fieldhouse: And now we have a fella that
came to Kansas from up north. He knew
nothing of KU athletic tradition when he
came from Minnesota, but he was eager to
learn. He chose this school solely because
of the basketball program. He wanted to
be a Jayhawk. And while his patience has
been tested, his faith in the excellence of
this institution and its athletics has never
wavered. Ladies and gentleman, Thor
Nystrom!
(Standing ovation I give Max a half-
hand shake, half-man hug)
Thor Nystrom: Thank you, Max. Wow,
it has been a great five years. There are so
many people I want to thank.
First, the fans. You guys are great. Like
Max said, when I first came here, I didnt
know squat about being a true Jayhawk fan.
Your passion and dedication made me want
to be the fan I am today.
(Standing ovation)
I chose this school because I wanted to
follow a premier college basketball team
while getting a good education. In that
order. But after I committed, the crap hit
the fan. We lost the national championship
and Roy Williams bolted.
The freshman class Williams left for
Bill Self had David Padgett, Omar Wilkes
and J.R. Giddens. I met all three at various
points. Padgetts sense of superiority and
feeling of entitlement struck me immedi-
ately and I was happy when he took it where
it belonged, to Louisville.
(Applause)
Wilkes and Giddens were both great
guys. I was sad when Wilkes got homesick
and wanted more playing time and left for
California. I was sadder when Giddens
stabbed a man and was forced to leave. I
remember bumping into and talking to the
nicest guy in front of my dorm a couple of
months after I moved here. Turns out it was
Giddens, down to earth as I could imagine
any elite athlete to be, and he was the same
in future occurrences with me. I wondered
what turned him into the person who
snapped and whom people hated.
And then there was the losing. No, not
losing like other programs. I soon found out
that with Kansas fans passion came expec-
tations. We are as fanatical as anyone in the
country but we dont like finishing second.
Thats why certain losses sent us into emo-
tional tailspins and crippled the psyches of
our fan base for weeks. You know what I
refer to: Bucknell. Bradley.
Im sure everyone in this arena can
recall with remarkable clarity where you
watched those games and the measures you
took those nights to ease your pain after our
team lost. For myself, I dont like dwelling
on those times.
But then there were better times. Bill
brought in likeable players who competed
hard on the court and didnt brood or stab
people off it. Guys like Julian Wright, Mario
Chalmers, Darnell Jackson, Sherron Collins
and Sasha Kaun made me proud to be a stu-
dent at this University.
(Applause as I blink back tears)
Man, I promised my parents I wasnt
going to cry. So lets switch gears really
quick. I want to thank a pair of gentlemen
who made my life as a fan of Kansas so
much more fun Quin Snyder and Frank
Martin.
What can I say, gentlemen? Quin, it
was always fun competing against your
teams. I loved how you recruited players
of questionable character and heart and
trusted in your ability to get the most out of

During tonights Sunflower Showdown
with Kansas State, senior forward Taylor
McIntosh will likely step onto Naismith
Court for the final time in her four year
career. Not that McIntosh is dwelling on
Senior Night and her final game in the
Phog.
I guess it hasnt really hit me yet, she
said.
When asked what she will miss the most,
McIntosh didnt miss a beat.
Ive always said the fans, she said. Just
seeing the same people come out and sup-
port you through all four years.
McIntosh is the final remnant of former
coach Marian Washingtons 31 seasons in
charge of the program. Although she never
played for the legendary coach, her presence
has helped Washingtons successor, Bonnie
Henrickson, build a solid foundation for
the future.
But McIntoshs career as a Jayhawk didnt
start nearly so smoothly. When she arrived
on campus in the fall of 2004, she was sur-
prised to find she had no place to live.
They lost my housing contract, and I
didnt have anywhere to go, McIntosh said.
Despite the rough start, McIntosh has
been a model of consistency during her
four years in Lawrence. During that time,
the 5-foot-11 forward has started 114 of the
117 games she has appeared in, including 27
starts as a freshman, and has never averaged
less than 4.5 points or 5 rebounds. This sea-
son McIntosh has stepped up her game even
more, scoring 6.7 points per contest to go
along with 6.8 rebounds.
Though word through the grapevine
wasnt all positive when she first arrived
at Kansas, Henrickson said McIntosh has

One day after Kansas most upsetting
loss of the season, a 61-60 loss at Oklahoma
State, senior forward Darnell Jackson was
at practice, sweating through drill after
drill. Kansas emotional leader could sense
something was wrong. So could the rest of
his teammates.
I think a lot of guys realized that this is
it, Jackson said.
The road losses to Kansas State, Texas
and Oklahoma State had hurt. They made
Jackson think about Kansas first-round
losses during his freshman and sopho-
more year, and now, March was rapidly
approaching.
We dont want to have that happen
again, Jackson said. We came together
as a team and just told each other that
everybody needs to bring something to
the table.
Ten days and three victories later, every-
body has. Junior guard Brandon Rush,
the co-Big 12 Player of the Week, is assert-
ing himself in games. Sophomore guard
Sherron Collins has been his old self. Senior
guard Russell Robinson is making shots.
Ditto for junior guard Mario Chalmers.
Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur has
been a reliable scoring threat, and Jackson
and senior center Sasha Kaun are giving a
yeomans effort inside.
The Jayhawks are playing with a sense of
urgency. Most importantly, they have their
swagger back.
Just in a six day stretch, weve looked
like a totally different team, Kansas coach
Bill Self said. And it also helps when you
make shots.
Made shots were in high supply dur-
ing Mondays 109-51 bludgeoning of Texas
Tech. Kansas shot 59.7 percent from the
field, and made 14-of-24 three-pointers.
Robinson said making shots is just part
of the equation for the surging Jayhawks.
Sure, Kansas made 32-of-58 three-point-
ers in victories against Iowa State, K-State
and Texas Tech. That always helps, but
Robinson credits other aspects for busting
Kansas out of its mid-February slump.
Were playing better defensive, with
more energy, Robinson said. Now we just
got to keep that up,
Kansas topsy-turvy February isnt
exactly what Self had in mind. Starting
with a loss to Kansas State on Jan. 30,
the Jayhawks never looked comfortable in
February. Collins was plagued by injuries,
Arthur by foul trouble and Kansas defen-
sive intensity wavered. The Jayhawks that
lost to Oklahoma State those werent Self s
players, were they?
That was a stale team, a tired team, Self
said. I think it was all between the ears.
But now, after three consecutive victo-
ries, including the most lopsided victory
in the history of the Big 12 Conference,
Kansas is one game from its fourth consec-
utive regular season title. Beat Texas A&M
on Saturday, and the Jayhawks will clinch a
least a share of the Big 12 title. If that doesnt
provide incentive enough to stay mentally
focused, Kansas emotional victories against
K-State and Texas Tech seem to have pro-
vided a mental booster shot.
That loss to Oklahoma State doesnt
quite hurt as much.
If it got us to the point where were play-
ing better and have our swagger back a little
bit, it was worth it, Self said.
Jackson said he felt the swagger coming
back.
Were a great team, Jackson said. We
can do a lot of things from now, going on
the Big 12 Tournament and getting ready
for the NCAA Tournament.
Refocused, reenergized and with its
swagger in tow, Kansas has finally reached
March.
Our swagger is not like cocky, but you
just have that attitude that were going to go
out there and try to play harder than the
next team, Jackson said.

Roethlisberger
stays with Steelers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH Talk about a
comeback.
Ben Roethlisberger signed an
eight-year extension Monday
with the Pittsburgh Steelers that
is worth $102 million and makes
him one of the leagues top-paid
players.
Hes a Steeler and hell always
be a Steeler, team chairman Dan
Rooney said.
The agreement comes after
Roethlisberger
re-established
himself as one
of the NFLs
best quarter-
backs last sea-
son, and nearly
two years after
his life and
career were
threatened by
a motorcycle
crash. The
accident happened a few months
after he led the Steelers to a Super
Bowl victory.
Roethlisbergers contract guar-
antees him $36 million and is eas-
ily the largest in the Steelers 76-
season history. The quarterback,
who turned 26 Sunday, gets $25
million immediately as a signing
bonus.
I told them I didnt want to go
anywhere the day I walked in (as
a rookie in 2004), Roethlisberger
said Monday. I love Pittsburgh,
I love the fans. Got probably the
best organization and fans in all
of the sport. I dont want to go
anywhere.
Nor did the Steelers want to
lose the clubs most successful
quarterback since four-time Super
Bowl winner Terry Bradshaw.
Roethlisberger, drafted in 2004
as part of the same QB class as
the Giants Eli Manning and the
Chargers Philip Rivers, won all 13
regular-season starts as a rookie,
began his career 27-4 and already
has appeared in two AFC title
games and seven playoff games.
Last season, Roethlisberger
threw 32 touchdown passes with
only 11 interceptions in leading
the Steelers to a 10-6 regular-
season record and the playoffs, a
major turnaround from his 23-
interception season of 2006.
In four
s e a s o n s ,
Roethlisberger
has steered
P i t t s b u r g h
to two AFC
championship
games, one
Super Bowl
and three play-
off appearanc-
es. No Steelers
quart erback,
not even Bradshaw, had a better
start to his career; Bradshaw didnt
win a Super Bowl until his fifth
season.
Roethlisberger wants to be like
the Dan Marinos, like the John
Elways, guys who played with one
team their whole career.
The Steelers, quiet in free agen-
cy until signing running back-
kick returner Mewelde Moore on
Monday, felt some urgency to get
a deal done with Roethlisberger.
Director of football operations
Kevin Colbert called it his top
offseason priority.
Roethlisberger was due a $2.95
million bonus this month that, if
paid, would have put the Steelers
over the salary cap. By reworking
Roethlisbergers contract now, the
team rolled that bonus into his
new contract and can prorate his
signing bonus over the eight years
of the contract.
Ben never said, I need a record-
breaking contract. He never said, I
need the most money in the history
of anything, said Roethlisbergers
agent, Ryan Tollner. He said, I
need a fair deal.
Roethlisberger, who played in
his first Pro Bowl last month, is
now focused on getting a bunch
more trophies.
I believe that the guys we have
on this team right now are excep-
tional players, he said. I believe
we all have the pieces of the puz-

ship football team, and I think that
we know the history that we have
of drafting well, well be able to
bring guys in that will hopefully
do more.
Roethlisberger was one of the
leading vote-getters for the NFL
Comeback Player of the Year
award. By contrast, he never found
a groove in 2006 after reporting to
training camp only six weeks after
his motorcycle crash in Pittsburgh,
then needed an appendectomy the
week of the season opener. The
Steelers started 2-6 before finish-
ing 8-8 during former coach Bill
Cowhers 15th and final season.
I told them I didnt want to go
anywhere the day I walked in. I
love Pittsburgh, I love the fans.

Moss re-signs with Patriots
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON Randy Moss is stay-
ing with the New England Patriots.
The defending AFC champi-
ons re-signed the record-breaking
receiver on Monday to a three-year
deal worth $27 million, his agent
said. The signing was confirmed by
the team shortly after Moss posted a
message to fans on his Web site.
I want to take time out to thank
all of the fans for their support and
for wishing me well in my return to
New England, therealrandymoss.
com quotes him as saying. Im
ready to get back. We have some
unfinished business to take care of.
Moss agent, Tim DiPiero, said
the deal included guarantees of
$15 million, including a $12 mil-
lion signing bonus to the receiver
who set an NFL record with 23
touchdown catches and helped the
Patriots reach the Super Bowl in his
first season with the team.
Randy was serious about want-
ing to stay, DiPiero wrote in an
e-mail. Because of Randys record-
breaking year, the interest in him
was very high. Randy took less than
he could have to rejoin his team-
mates.
Pairing Moss with NFL MVP
Tom Brady, who broke the league
record with 50 touchdown passes,
the Patriots breezed through the
regular season with a perfect 16-
0 record. They improved to an
unprecedented 18-0 before blow-
ing a chance at the leagues longest
unbeaten season with a 17-14 Super
Bowl loss to the New York Giants.
What Randy did for our team
last year was outstanding, Patriots
coach Bill Belichick said in a state-
ment. He is one of our most con-
sistent, competitive and team-ori-
ented players and it is undoubtedly
a relationship we are excited to con-
tinue.
Moss, 31, has caught 774 passes
for 12,193 yards in a 10-year career,
and his 124 career receiving touch-
downs are fourth in NFL history.
A four-time All-Pro, Moss took
a pay cut to get out of Oakland and
come to New England last April.

Wading past the competition
Jayhawks place fourth at Big 12 Championships
BY TAYLOR NYE
tnye@kansan.com
Junior co-captain Danielle
Herrmann was the story of the Big
12 Championships for the Jayhawks
this past weekend as she earned a
trip to the NCAA Championships
with her third-place finish in the
200-yard individual medley.
Herrmann set three school
records during meet in Austin,
Texas. One in the 200-yard indi-
vidual medley, and two more with
her second-place finishes in the
100-yard and 200-yard butterfly
events.
It was very exciting to look up
at the scoreboard and see an NCAA
automatic quali-
fying mark,
Herrmann said.
I have been
shooting for it
all year, so to
finally get it felt
amazing.
This is the
second straight
year Herrmann will go to the
NCAA Championships.
The Kansas swimming and div-
ing team completed the four-day
meet with a fourth place finish.
Texas A&M won the tourna-
ment for the second straight year
with Texas in second place.
T h e
Jayhawks were
in a battle
with archrival
Missouri for
third place, but
ultimately came
up short with
505.5 points to
Missouris 519.5
points.
Coach Clark
Campbell said
the competition
didnt make things easier for the
Jayhawks.
Our conference has gotten
faster from top to bottom, which
is great for the
conf erence,
Campbell said.
We have to
continually rise
to the level of
the confer-
ence.
T h e
Jayhawks start-
ed day one with
strong perfor-
mances in the
various relay races. The team of
Herrmann, senior Lauren Bonfe,
junior Ashley Leidigh and junior
Maria Mayrovich set a school
record with their second-place fin-
ish in the 200-yard medley relay.
Fr e s hma n
Joy Bunting
earned a NCAA
p r o v i s i o n a l
time in the 200-
yard individual
medley, mean-
ing she could
be invited to
nationals.
T h e
Jayhawks also
broke a school
record time
with their second-place finish in
the 400-yard medley relay.
In all, the Jayhawks broke a total
of five school records on their way
to the fourth
place finish.
C o a c h
Campbell was
positive about
his teams per-
formance.
We are very
happy to have
accompl i shed
one of our
team goals to
score over 500
points, Campbell said. We havent
done that in four years.
Kansas divers were strong as
sophomore Meghan Proehl, fresh-
man Erin Mertz and senior Jenny
Roberts all finished in the top eight
of the three-meter board. Proehl
and junior Hannah McMacken fin-
ished in the top eight in the one-
meter board.
They realized they had the
potential to score points and they
stepped up to plate, diving coach
Eric Elliott said. They each took
turns leading the group. Having
all five divers score has helped the
team as a whole.
After his teams strong perfor-
mance, Elliot was named Big 12
Diving Coach of the Meet.

Kansas turns to southpaw in opener
After a 4-5 start, Kansas could improve record to .500
BY SHAWN SHROYER
sshroyer@kansan.com
This isnt your typical home
opener.
More times than not, Division I
teams schedule directional schools
for their home openers to help
assure that opening day crowds will
witness a victory. However, Kansas
(4-5) opens its home slate today
against Le Moyne College (2-6),
which reached the NCAA tourna-
ment last season.
While the Dolphins, of the Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference, arent
a household name when it comes
to college baseball, they arent to
be underestimated. Located in
Syracuse, N.Y., Le Moyne went 34-
19 last season and is coached by the
eighth winningest active baseball
coach in Division 1: Steve Owens.
With a career .683 winning per-
centage, Owens and his Dolphins
have gotten off to an uncharacter-
istically slow start this season. In
the midst of a 15-game road trip
to start its season, Le Moyne was
swept over the weekend by Oral
Roberts.
Yesterday, Le Moyne took No. 25
Wichita State the distance before
losing, 9-8, at Eck Stadium. Le
Moyne led Wichita State most of
the game until the Shockers piled
on four runs in the last two innings
to steal the victory.
In defeat, the Dolphins contin-
ued to receive production from
their two best hitters. Infielder
Matt Nandin and first baseman
Corey ONeill went a combined 3-
for-9 with two runs.
Today Le Moyne will throw left-
hander Corey Nelson (0-0), whose
only appearances thus far have been
out of the bullpen. In five innings,
hes struck out four and has yet to
allow an earned run.
The Jayhawks, on the other
hand, shook off their rusty play
during the weekend.
Kansas is coming off a 2-1
showing in the Music City Classic
in Nashville, Tenn. The Jayhawk
offense blew up for 21 runs
Saturday and Sunday after scoring
fewer than five runs in six of their
previous seven games.
Its good to start waking the
bats up a little bit more, freshman
third baseman Tony Thompson
said. I think were going to come
through now.
Leading the charge for Kansas
was junior first baseman Preston
Land and senior outfielder Casey
Larson. Land was 4-for-5 with two
home runs in a five-RBI perfor-
mance on Saturday while Larson
went 4-for-7 with two runs and
two RBI in Kansas two wins. Both
were named to the all-tournament
team.
Junior center fielder and lead-
off man Nick Faunce capped the
weekend by going 4-for-5 Sunday,
scoring three runs.
I just think we had to see some
pitching for us to get going a little
bit, Thompson said. Our pitching
has been doing really well and we
just needed to support them with
some runs. We finally did that the
last couple games.
Kansas coach Ritch Price will
again look to sophomore left-hand-
er Wally Marciel (1-1) to bridge the
gap to the weekend.
Wednesday, Marciel allowed
only two runs in 5 2/3 innings of
work at Arkansas. In two starts,
Marciel has a 2.31 ERA and six
strikeouts to nine hits and four
walks allowed.
Price is counting on another
solid performance from Marciel
today to give the home fans what
they want to see a home-open-
ing victory.
Wally Marciel pitched like a
Big 12, Friday night starter, Price
said after the Arkansas game. Hes
improved his fastball command,
improved his breaking ball and
his changeup. Now hes got three
pitches.

Blues snap six-game skid 3-2
Heavy snowstorm causes low attendance
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS Ryan Johnson
scored his fifth goal of the season
as the St. Louis Blues snapped a six-
game skid with a 3-2 victory over
the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday
night.
The Blues had gone 0-5-1 in their
previous six games, scoring only four
goals in that span. But they handed
the Kings their fifth straight loss and
seventh in eight games.
St. Louis also got goals from Andy
McDonald and Keith Tkachuk.
Manny Legace stopped 31 shots for
the victory.
The Kings got goals from
Alexander Frolov and Dustin Brown.
They had a chance to tie the game
late with a 6-on-3 manpower advan-
tage after pulling the goalie for a
sixth attacker, but couldnt get the
equalizer.
Johnson gave the Blues their deci-
sive goal when Jamal Mayers sprung
him loose along the right wing with
a tip-in pass. Johnson got the puck
past a sliding Anze Kopitar and beat
goaltender Erik Ersberg between the
pads with 6:54 to play in the game.
Brown gave Los Angeles a 2-1
lead 4:02 into the second period,
snapping a shot from the left circle
that squirted past Legace at the near
post.
Tkachuk answered with his 21st
of the season and 494th of his career
when he converted a 2-on-1 break.
Tkachuk and David Perron raced
in against a Kings defenseman and
Tkachuk kept the puck to beat
Ersberg with a high wrist shot to tie
the game 2-2.
McDonald quickly gave the Blues
a 1-0 lead when he banged home
Paul Kariyas centering feed just 1:40
into the game, McDonalds 13th goal
of the season.
The Kings tied it as Frolov col-
lected a loose puck in the slot and
fired it past Legace with 47.4 seconds
to play in the opening period for his
20th of the season and fifth goal in
three games against St. Louis this
season.
Notes: A heavy snowstorm kept
many of the announced crowd of
14,973 away from Scottrade Center.
There were roughly half as many fans
in attendance. The St. Louis metro-
politan area got anywhere from 8 to
12 inches of snow throughout the
day Tuesday. ... The Blues will hit
the road for a nine-game road trip
that begins Wednesday in Detroit.
The trip will also take them to
Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, San
Jose, Anaheim, Montreal, Ottawa
and Chicago. ... The last Kings vic-
tory was 5-1 at home against the
Blues on Feb. 21. The Kings have
also lost six straight road games. ...
Frolov had a hat trick in the teams
last meeting.

them. I loved knowing that they
would eventually implode both
on and off the court. I loved look-
ing at you on the sidelines. Your
detached yet deranged sideline
demeanor often led me to believe
you were only seconds from either
walking off the court to take a nap
or from snapping and clothes-lin-
ing an opposing player. The day
you were fired was a grave disap-
pointment for me and the fans
of this institution. You have been
missed.
(Crowd nodding in approval
while clapping)
And Frank, I am happy to say,
has admirably tried to take over
for you as conductor of the unin-
tentional comedy train. As the guy
stomps and screams and gets red
in the face, it leads one to believe
that nobody would be surprised if
he just flat-out punched a referee.
I like that in an opposing coach.
He also looks to me like a cast
member of Men in Black, and
I always half expect his heart to
give out after a tirade only to have
his face open up and a small alien
to be sitting at the controls inside
his head. Seriously, no one has
ever given validity to the realism
of that script like Frank. I think I
speak for Jayhawk Nation when I
say we are happy you were given
that job just to keep Michael
Beasley and Bill Walker from
jumping ship after Bobby Huggins
did the same. Best of luck after
they leave for the NBA!
(Applause)
And I want to wrap it up
because I know this is getting
long. To the current Jayhawks:
we believe in you. Weve seen you
struggle to gain an identity. Weve
seen you lose in the first round
of the NCAA Tournament. We
have seen you come together and
become an elite team. We believe
you to be the best team in college
basketball. Play to your potential
this month and the first week of
April and bring a championship
back to Lawrence. I believe you
will.
Good night, Lawrence! Stay
classy!
(I drop the microphone and
walk off the court to a standing
ovation)

GREEN BAY, Wis. After flirt-
ing with retirement for years, Brett
Favre means it this time. The Green
Bay Packers quarterback quit after a
17-season career in which he dazzled
fans with his grit, heart and rocket
of an arm.
I know I can still play, but its
like I told my wife, Im just tired
mentally, Favre told ESPNs Chris
Mortensen in a voice mail message.
Tuesdays surprise move comes
after the 38-year-old three-time MVP
set several league records, including
most career touchdown passes, in
one of his most successful seasons.
Coach Mike McCarthy said Favre
informed him of the decision by tele-
phone Monday night.
He said it was time for him to
hang up the cleats, McCarthy said
at a news conference Tuesday after-
noon.
Packers general manager Ted
Thompson thanked Favre for 16
years of wonderful memories with
the team.
His accomplishments are legend-
ary, Thompson said. And its the
passion with which he played that
made everyone a Brett Favre fan.
Last season, Favre broke Dan
Marinos career records for most
touchdown passes and most yards
passing and John Elways record for
most career victories by a starting
quarterback.
He retires with 5,377 career com-
pletions in 8,758 attempts for 61,655
yards, 442 touchdowns and 288
interceptions.
In his final season, Favre also
extended his quarterback-record
streak of consecutive regular-season
starts to 253 games illustrating his
trademark toughness. Add the play-
offs, and Favres streak stands at 275.
The Packers owe him a tremen-
dous debt of gratitude, Thompson
said. The uniqueness of Brett Favre
his personality, charisma and love of
the game undoubtedly will leave
him as one of the enduring figures in
NFL history.

During her tenure, Boyd has
gone out to lunch with recruits,
helped her teammates get in
some extra shots and offered
to do anything to improve the
team. Henrickson understands
and truly appreciates everything
that Boyd has done in building
the program.
Shes going to do a lot of
special things in her life, just by
how shes handled herself here,
Henrickson said. And what
hasnt been easy, shes watched
young kids come in and play in
front of her, shes always helped
tutor those kids and help mentor
those kids and I will always have
great respect for that.
Boyd admits that the end
doesnt quite feel real and that
her four years have flown by and
dragged on at the same time. Still,
the 2004 Iowa Miss Basketball
doesnt have any regrets.
Ive had a good run and
theres probably not much Id
change, Boyd said. I just want
everyone to know, my team-
mates, my coaches and the fans,
how much they all mean to me.

The word on the street was
she wasnt going to work hard
and she wasnt going to com-
pete, Henrickson said. I tell her
I dont know who was trying to
pay who off, but weve never had
that. She has always busted her
tail to do things right.
McIntosh said she hasnt real-
ly thought about life after bas-
ketball, but said it will definitely
be weird to not be around her
teammates every day. She will
graduate this spring as a pre-
pharmacy major and hopes to
begin working towards a gradu-
ate degree next fall upon accep-
tance into pharmacy school.
McIntosh said she hopes to end
her career in Allen Fieldhouse
with a win over the Jayhawks
in-state rivals, but regardless
of the result she doesnt have
any regrets about her decision
to come to Lawrence four years
ago.
I was recruited by a couple
other schools but once I got
recruited by KU it was like I have
to go there, McIntosh said.

hawpe signs contract with Rockies
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUCSON, Ariz. Brad Hawpe
and Colorado agreed Tuesday to a
$17,425,000, three-year contract,
making the right fielder the fourth
key Rockies player to receive a long-
term deal after the teams first World
Series appearance last October.
The deal, which includes a
club option for 2011, replaces the
$3,925,000, one-year contract that
had been agreed to in January.
I think the Rockies have made a
good commitment to the players and
I think the players have worked hard
to build up the franchise, Hawpe
said. I think theres a good thing
going on here, not just the players
and the front office, but everyone
involved all the way through the
minor league system.
The 28-year-old Hawpe hit .291
last year with 29 homers and 116
RBIs. He slumped against left-hand-
ed pitching for much of the summer,
giving Ryan Spilborghs more playing
time, although he finished strong
against lefties down the stretch.
Hawpe hit .377 with runners in
scoring position with two outs. He
went 9-for-20 with the bases loaded,
including his first career grand slam.
Colorado also recently agreed to
long-term deals with right-hander
Aaron Cook ($34.5 million over four
years), shortstop Troy Tulowitzki
($31 million over six years) and clos-
er Manny Corpas ($8,025,000 over
four years).
Left fielder Matt Holliday agreed
to a $23 million, two-year deal, cov-
ering his arbitration eligibility. The
next candidate for a multiyear deal
could be third baseman Garrett
Atkins.
PGA
Golfers complain about slow Tour play
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALM HARBOR, Fla.
Complaints about slow play on the
PGA Tour have been around for-
ever, which is about how long it has
been since anyone was given a one-
stroke penalty for taking too long to
hit a shot.
Actually, it was 16 years ago at
the Byron Nelson Classic. And the
victim of that one-stroke penalty is
now a rules official who carries a
stop watch.
It was in Dallas, Dillard Pruitt
said Tuesday. For two bad times in
a round, I got a one-stroke penalty,
a $1,000 fine and I had to play in
the last group the next two weeks as
long as it wasnt an invitational. That
one stroke cost me $9,600 official
money. The fact I can still remem-
ber that tells you something.
The policy hasnt changed much
over the years.
Once a group falls out of posi-
tion and is put on the clock, the first
player to hit is allowed 60 seconds;
the others get 40 seconds. There is
no penalty for the first bad time.
The second bad time carries a one-
stroke penalty, the third offense is a
two-stroke penalty, and a fourth bad
time is disqualification.
As slow as it can get on the PGA
Tour, why has no one been assessed
a one-stroke penalty in 16 years?
Or been disqualified?
Were more intelligent than peo-
ple think we are, the ever-sarcastic
Paul Goydos said.
By that, he means slow players
tend to play faster when told they
are on the clock. Fulton Allem once
compared this to a state trooper
who pulls over a motorist for going
100 mph. Instead of writing a ticket,
the trooper says he will follow the
driver for the next five miles to
make sure he doesnt speed.
You have to be crazy to get two
bad times, chief rules official Mark
Russell said. People dont get one
bad time.
In the meantime, the tortoise is
transforming into a snail.
Tiger Woods was the latest to
gripe about the pace of play. Given
his stature in golf, his complaint
figures to be the loudest.
In his monthly newslet-
ter, Woods talked about his vic-
tory in the Accenture Match Play
Championship, seeing his new
sports drink on grocery shelves and
having Van Halen play at his benefit
concert this year. Then out of the
blue came this.
Before I go, he wrote, I would
like to talk about slow play. Its been
an ongoing problem on the PGA
Tour for a long time. I honestly
believe the pace of play is faster in
Europe and Japan. It has been sug-
gested offenders be penalized with
strokes. The problem is, you may
get one guy that slows down a group
for playing at a snails pace and gets
them all put on the clock, which isnt
fair. I know this is a complicated
issue. Hopefully, it can be addressed
in the near future.
Adam Scott was a little more
succinct.
People play way, way too slow,
he said.
Maybe its just a coincidence, but
Woods comment came a week after
the Match Play, where he played J.B.
Holmes in the first round. Holmes
already has a reputation as among
the tortoises on tour, although not
quite to the level of Ben Crane.
He visualizes each shot. He makes
quick, repeating practice strokes
with every club.
And he makes few apologies.
A lot of old habits kick in when
youre under pressure, Holmes said.
Youre playing for $1 million. If
somebody thinks Im slow, or taking
long, I dont care. Personally, I dont
want to take that long. Im working
on that. I would rather be slow and
win than rush something, hit a bad
shot and not win.
One of the legends about Ben
Hogan is the time a U.S. Open rules
official warned him for slow play.
If youre going to penalize me,
do it now so I know where I stand,
Hogan replied. Im not playing any
faster.

whamilton@kansan.com
At first, Tuesday nights game
against Phi Delt 1 and Pi Kapp at
the Student Recreation and Fitness
Center could have been mistaken
for Kansas Monday night blowout
game against Texas Tech. Phi Delt 1
had a eight-point lead at the begin-
ning of the first half. That quickly
changed once Pi Kapp got into the
groove of Phi Delt 1s defense.
Both teams
charged up and
down the court
making quick
cuts and effort-
less shots. But,
Phi Delt 1 made
better use of the
ball and won in
a 56-46 victory.
One thing that made it hard for Pi
Kapp was its size.
One of our big men couldnt
make it work, Mark Miller, Topeka
sophomore, said.
Still, the game proved to be chal-
lenging and entertaining to watch.
With the playoffs in full swing
and most teams entering the sec-
ond round of elimination, its get-
ting more competitive. Both teams
knew how to shoot three-pointers
with ease and had strong defenses.
Foul trouble early on became a
problem for Pi Kapp and by the
end of the game, two of its players
nearly fouled out with four fouls
each.
Before the first half ended, Pi
Kapp called a timeout to rest and
gain some inspiration from team-
mates. As the seconds ticked off
alerting the first half was ending,
the scoreboard read 31-19 with Phi
Delt 1 in a 12-point lead.
After seeing an entire half of Phi
Delt 1s strengths and weaknesses,
Pi Kapp decided to target those
areas and use it to its advantage. Pi
Kapp toughened up on its defense
and marked solid outside shoot-
ing. Hitting a three pointer from
just behind the arc, Tyler Fromm,
Newton freshman, gave Pi Kapp
a five-point lead. Even though it
didnt have big men on the team, Pi
Kapp stuck it out and rebounded
the ball.
We got down early and kept
fighting, Drew Albers, Northfield,
Minn., junior, said.
Phi Delt 1 had a range of shoot-
ing abilities from dribbling down
the paint and using the backboard
to shooting around the arc. Phi Delt
1 player, J.D. Christie, Shawnee
Mission sophomore, found a sweet
spot at the top of the arc and
hit a three-point shot that barely
touched the net.
Phi Delt 1 assisted the ball and
really took care
of its team-
mates. In the
second half,
Brian Thies,
Overland Park
junior, dribbled
the ball down
the court for
a layup that
bounced back out. Christie quickly
took care of it and guided the ball
back into the hoop. Max Ward,
Leawood sophomore, helped the
team by scoring numerous two-
pointers on the baseline. Ward was
the go-to guy when the defense
surrounded shorter players or play-
ers were trapped in a corner. The
matchup was an intense 40 minutes
from beginning to end, but Pi Kapp
couldnt keep up with Phi Delt 1
and fell short of a victory.
It was a close game, Gilbert
Keller, Shawnee Mission senior,
said. They shot the ball really well
and gave us a good fight. They were
a good team.
Phi Delt 1 will advance to the
third round of the playoffs and will
play the winner of the Delta Chi 1
and Beta A3 game tonight at 6.

Royals pitcher awaits
chance to pitch in game
SURPRISE, Ariz. Luke Hudson
is wondering when he will get a
chance to pitch in a Kansas City
Royals spring training game.
While his teammates were beat-
ing the Colorado Rockies 11-5 on
Tuesday in Tucson, Hudson was
working out at the Royals complex
in Surprise. He has not appeared
in the frst six exhibition games
and is not on the schedule to pitch
anytime soon.
After having right shoulder
surgery in June, Hudson arrived in
camp eager to compete for a job
in the Royals rotation. The Royals,
however, have moved cautiously.
Going into this spring, I was
shooting to be on the same pro-
gram as everybody else, Hudson
said. It was frustrating when they
told me I wasnt going to be. At
the same time, I totally understand
where they are coming from.
Hudson, a 30-year-old right-
hander, made 15 starts in 2006 for
the Royals and was being counted
on to be a mainstay in their 2007
rotation. He missed the 2003 sea-
son after having shoulder surgery,
then came down with a sore shoul-
der in spring training.

Kansas State wins
against Colorado
associated press
MANHATTAN, Kan.
Michael Beasley, with an appre-
ciative crowd hoping it wasnt his
final game in Bramlage Coliseum,
had 33 points to break Kansas
States season scoring record and
lead the Wildcats past Colorado
78-72 on Tuesday night.
The 6-foot-
10 Beasley,
with one reg-
ul a r - s e a s on
game left in
the finest sea-
son any Kansas
State player has
ever had, seems
to be reaching
his highest levels as things wind
down. It was his fourth straight
30-point game and he grabbed
14 rebounds for his 26th double-
double, extending his own NCAA
freshman record and setting the
Big 12 mark.
Shouts of One more year,
Michael, and Please dont leave,
Michael were heard all over the
arena as the game began. While
Beasley has said all season he
would like to stay in school, hes
likely to be the No. 1 overall pick
if he goes into the NBA draft
and would command a three-year
contract worth about $14 million.
Fellow freshman Bill Walker
snapped out of a two-game shoot-
ing slump with 25 points for the
Wildcats (19-10, 9-6) snapped a
four-game losing streak and may
have assured themselves of their
first NCAA tournament bid in 12
seasons.
Marcus Hall had 22 points
for Colorado (11-18, 3-12) and
Richard Roby, held to one point
on 0-for-5 shooting in the first
half, finished
with 15.
W i t h
Beasley scor-
ing 20 points
on his typi-
cally impres-
sive variety
of moves and
shots, Kansas
State led 41-27 at halftime. But
the Wildcats committed turnovers
on five of their first seven pos-
sessions in the second half and
Roby and Hall led the Buffaloes
comeback.
Halls fastbreak basket got it to
56-52. Then Beasley, seeming to
hang in the air, popped in a short
jumper and a moment later com-
pleted a three-point play to lead
an 8-0 run.
Beasley, who was 8-of-10 from

Virginia hits top 25 AP poll
with double overtime win
Virginia entered the Top 25 for
the frst time in four seasons after
coming of one of its most thrilling
victories in years.
The Cavaliers rallied from 15
points down Sunday to beat
Georgia Tech 103-101 in double
overtime, a win that carried Vir-
ginia to its frst ranking at No. 25
since the preseason poll of the
2003-04 season.
Connecticut remained the top
choice in The Associated Press
womens basketball poll Monday
with 40 of the 50 frst-place votes.
The Huskies had a busy week,
beating No. 6 LSU on Monday and
rallying from a 17-point second
half defcit to edge DePaul on Sat-
urday night. Connecticut beat No.
4 Rutgers 66-46 Monday night for
the Big East regular season title.
The Scarlet Knights handed
the Huskies their lone loss of the
season on Feb. 5.
The top fve in the poll remained
unchanged with North Carolina,
Tennessee, Rutgers and Maryland
following Connecticut. The Tar
Heels still had two frst-place votes
and Rutgers received the other
eight.
With its win Sunday, the Cava-
liers (22-8) locked up the No. 4 seed
in the Atlantic Coast Conference
tournament.
It was an unbelievable game,
were very persistent,Virginia
coach Debbie Ryan said. Ive had
several of them, double, triple
overtime games but this was crazy
the way it happened since we had
to come back.

Kansas vs. Kansas state, 7 p.m. Wednesday, Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence
Besides pride, Kansas still has
a seed in the Big 12 tournament
to play for. With a win and a Texas
Tech loss it could get the ninth
seed, which would mean a game
against either Iowa State or Texas.
A rematch with the Cyclones could
be just what the Jayhawks need in
order to get a win in Kansas City,
but to make that work they need
to get freshman center Krysten
Boogaard established Wednes-
day night. Kansas and Iowa State
could match-up even if Kansas
State wins. However, on Saturday
we saw how that would turn out
without a strong performance from
Boogaard.
Can senior forward Taylor
McIntosh pick up where she left
of?
McIntosh has been hit or miss
for most of the year, but Saturday
she knocked one out of the park
with 15 points, 16 rebounds, three
steals and one block. Without her
stellar play the Jayhawks wouldnt
have been in the game at all. The
realization that her Kansas career
is coming to a close seems to
have inspired McIntosh to step
up her play and its not a moment
too soon. The Jayhawks still have
plenty to play for and the co-cap-
tain can help them prolong their
season and her career with
another solid outing.

Danielle McCray, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard
14.6 ppg, 7.4 rpg
Worrying about how to miss a free throw with
the game tied and 1.4 seconds on the clock is a
strange thought, but it speaks volumes about the
cool head McCray keeps in pressure situations. Mc-
Cray calmly buried the frst free throw and bricked
the second to get Kansas the win. McCrays playing
like she did in the nonconference games and thats
exactly why the Jayhawks will compete in every
game left on the schedule.
Taylor McIntosh, 5-foot-11 senior forward
6.8 ppg, 6.5 rpg
McIntosh has been almost non-existent in the
past month, but she made her presence felt
Sunday. The senior flled the stat sheet with
11 points, seven rebounds, four assists,
two blocks and two steals. With only fve
regular season games left, it would be
nice to see McIntosh end her career on a
positive note.
LaChelda Jacobs, 5-foot-10
sophomore guard
5.4 ppg, 51 percent from the feld
Jacobs play is always bigger
against teams from Texas. Last season,
Jacobs put up a career high 18 points
against Baylor. This year, the Mansfeld,
Texas, native is averaging 10.3 ppg in three
contests against Lone Star teams, almost
double her season average.

Shalee Lehning 5-foot-9 junior guard
10.5 ppg, 6.5 apg
As important as junior forward Marlies Gipson has
been this season after recovering from last seasons
injury, the Wildcats worst nightmare might be to see
Lehning go down with injury. What makes her con-
tributions from the point guard position even more
impressive are the 7.2 rebounds she corrals per
game. There may not be a better passer in the Big
12. In Manhattan, Lehning found teammates from
all angles.
Kimberly Dietz 5-foot-9 senior guard
15.4 ppg, 38 percent 3PT
The Jayhawks have to stay close to Dietz.
Shes proved time and time again that if you
give her enough space she will make you
pay. Against Kansas last month at home,
Dietz hit four three pointers
and scored 15 points. Once
she cooled down in the
second half, she took on
the role of distributor and
dished out six assists.
Marlies Gipson 6-foot-0 junior forward
11.8 ppg, 8 rpg
In the two teams last meeting, Gipson was
the diference, scoring 20 points to go along
with 15 rebounds. She may be an even
bigger factor in Lawrence as freshman
center Krysten Boogaard is nowhere near
the ofensive or defensive presence
she was a month ago. If Gipson gets it
going inside, Kansas State will be able
to spread Kansas out and should be
able to fnd open looks for the three.
This is a huge game for
the Wildcats for two reasons.
First, its a chance to avenge
this past seasons loss in Allen
Fieldhouse. Second, and more
importantly, a win would give
Kansas State at least a share
of the Big 12 regular season
championship. The Wildcats will
be looking to jump out early
and demoralize a Jayhawks
squad that has hit a serious
rough patch in February. It
couldnt get much sweeter than
celebrating a Big 12 title on
their in-state rivals foor.
Can Gipson and sopho-
more forward Ashley Sweat
keep senior forward Taylor
McIntosh of the ofensive
boards?
Kansas State may have
a chance to clinch a Big 12
Championship on Naismith
Court, but McIntosh may have
something to say about that.
It will be the seniors last game
in front of the Allen Fieldhouse
crowd, and she would love
nothing more than to spoil the
Wildcats party. Against Iowa
State, McIntosh pulled down
eight ofensive rebounds. If
she can approach that number
tonight, Kansas has a fghting
chance.
