The statue of longtime coach
Phog Allen stands guard over
the new 26,000-square-foot
Booth Family Hall of Athletics.
In his vintage practice sweats,
he stands as a reminder of his
hard work that went on in the
building behind him.
For decades, names and
faces entered the arena to form
a rich basketball tradition
through determination and
steadfast loyalty.
On Saturday, all the history,
myth and legend of Kansas
basketball and athletics re-
ceived a permanent home in
the 26,000-square-foot Booth
Family Hall of Athletics, bring-
ing with it swarms of emotions
and rekindled memories of
seasons past.
Children and grandchildren
of the late Gilbert and Betty
Booth donated $5 million for
the creation of the Hall.
Within the doors of the Hall
is a giant projection screen
recounting Kansas sports mo-
ments. Inside are countless
artifacts, numerous statistics,
legendary names and priceless
memories.
It typifes Kansas athletics,
Chancellor Robert Hemen-
way said. Everyone is over-
whelmed.
One timeless piece of Kan-
sas history drew much of the
attention during the opening
minutes of the Hall longtime
University of Kansas basketball
radio broadcaster Max Falken-
stien wandering through the
hall.
Falkenstien put his personal
collection of championship
rings and memorabilia on dis-
play for the opening. The Hall
rekindled old memories for the
81-year-old Falkenstien.
The University basketball
broadcaster of 60 years said
the interactive championship
gallery was one of his favorites
and reminded him of some of
the all-time best Kansas teams.
Among the thousands of
fans rushed with emotion was
a couple standing over the in-
laid Jayhawk in the middle of
the Hall. The couple stood em-
bracing, their eyes flled with
tears.
Casey and Michael Arnold,
sophomore twin sisters from
Telluride, Colo., unable to
focus on a particular image,
gazed at whatever lay in front
of them. Both stood in adora-
tion.
You walk in and you see
all the tradition. It makes us
unique. There is no compari-
son, Michael said.
It made me emotional,
Casey said. Its a dream come
true. I was born and raised a
Jayhawk. I cant believe it. The
frst marks of basketball are on
that court, referring to the old
center court mounted on the
west wall.

Laughing, drinking and
dressed to go out, the group of
friends waited impatiently for
their straggler friend to fnish
getting ready.
Their straggler friend quick-
ly pulled her hair back into
a loose pony tail. In a matter
of minutes she finished her
make-up and reapplied her
mascara after a long work shift
that kept her friends waiting
on their seeming workaholic
friend.
This scenario plays out all
too often for students who
pay their way through school.
Although most college stu-
dents 92 percent accord-
ing to the National Center for
Education Statistics have,
or have had, a paying job at
some point in their collegiate
careers. The balance between
going to school, having a so-
cial life and working to pay for
school continues to be, while
a beneficial learning tool, a
constant struggle.

When Brandon Rush took a
bad shot in practice last week,
he had to run 15 more seconds
on the treadmill, which Kansas
Coach Bill Self placed next to the
court as extra motivation for his
players.
The freshman guard and other
starters ran on the treadmill at top
speed when they were taken out
during practice for poor decisions.
The extra motivation worked.
Kansas blew out Nebraska
96-54 on Saturday in Allen Field-
house.
It is just one of those things
that gets us to focus in on what
Coach wants us to do, pay at-
tention to detail and it showed
today, sophomore guard Russell
Robinson said.

The prisoners fled into the church one by
one, equipped with solemn looks on their
faces. They seemed at peace with the situa-
tion and no one in the church seemed to care
that they were inmates. Their past indiscre-
tions were forgotten for at least two hours.
Lead by Elvera Voth, their small-in-stat-
ure but determined leader and conductor,
the East Hill Singers arrived in Lawrence
yesterday afternoon. The chorus performed
at the First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clin-
ton Parkway.
The East Hill Singers are a chorus com-
prised of inmates from the Lansing Correc-
tional Facility and volunteer singers from the
metropolitan Topeka, Kansas City and Law-
rence areas.
The chorus brought in a full house. Old
and young crammed into the church to hear
the concert. There was no available parking
at the church and the room quickly became
standing room only.
Nancy Meis, executive director of Arts
in Prison Inc., said the East Hill Singers are
used to having many people show up to their
shows but the response from the Lawrence
community was excellent.
After ten years of doing incredible shows,
people have come to expect variety and qual-
ity out of our shows. Meis said. The in-
mates never forget these experiences
Jefferey, an inmate whose last name is be-
ing withheld to protect the rights of his vic-
tim, said that has appreciated his time with
the chorus. You dont have to have a
great singing voice to be in this group.

Spare time is hard to come by no matter who
you are, but according to the National Center
for Education Statistics almost all of the 16.7
million students enrolled in two or four-year
colleges have a job, or had one somewhere
along the road to their degrees. Although $129
billion was dished out to students through
loans and fnancial aid in the 2004-2005 school
year according to collegeboard.com, student
earnings can go a long way toward paying the
bills, or just toward boozing.

Physics fans packed the Spen-
cer Museum of Art for an expla-
nation of the universe Friday
night. Frank Wilczek, winner of
the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics,
offered his award-winning theo-
ries on the universe, including
multicolored illustrations and a
comparison to a lava lamp.
Museum offcials encouraged
overfow audience members to sit
in the front of the auditorium and
stand along the back wall, but
some students found that even
getting inside was not an option.
Maggee VanSpeybroeck, Arcata,
Calif., freshman, said she hoped
to get pieces from the lecture from
her hallway seat but couldnt hear
most of it.
Without the visual compo-
nents, the lecture was more dif-
fcult to understand than she had
initially predicted.
I expected itd be one of those
humorous, fun lectures, but I
dont think I would have under-
stood it, she said.
Wilczek was challenged by the
idea of creating ordinary, con-
crete matter from the small build-
ing blocks of physics that weigh
nearly nothing.
You cant put little scales in
there to see what they weigh,
Wilczek said.
Wilczek turned to an algebraic
mutation of Einsteins e = mc2
to explain this. By arranging the
equation as m = e/c2, it reveals
mass comes from the energy
created by minute particles and
eliminates the ugly concept of
mass and puts it in terms of the
more beautiful energy, he said.
Mass is derived from the energy
and speeds of the particles, giving
weight to the particles.
Wilczek also talked about un-
ordinary matter, the dark matter
and energy that appears to fll
the empty regions of space. Ordi-
nary matter dominates the world
we are familiar with. Dark mat-
ter clumps around galaxies, but
is usually invisible outside of its
gravitational infuence; dark en-
ergy is energy we cant see spread
evenly throughout space. Wilczek
said that the two regions account
for 95 percent of all matter.
In quantum feld theory, we
discovered that what appears to
us as empty space is in reality a
wildly, dynamic fuctuating me-
dium, Wilczek said.
When this medium is dis-
turbed, the energy changes. The
result, Wilczek said, looks like a
lava lamp, with clumps of energy
and particles moving about.
Wilczek won the Nobel Prize
for work he did as a graduate stu-
dent at Princeton in 1973, terming
it as bring physics one step closer
to a theory for everything. The
theory of asymptotic freedom he
and his two corecipient discov-
ered shapes most experimental
studies in modern particle phys-
ics.
Michael Murray, assistant pro-
fessor of physics, said Wilczeks
work allowed physicists to identi-
fy and classify different particles.
He brought order to the chaos
of high-energy physics, he said.
Wilczek summarized his
speech by saying the world we
understand is both strange and
beautiful. Humankind still has a
lot to learn, he said, but working
for understanding will lead us to
that.

Kansas regents J. W. Gleed and
William Allen White voted for end-
ing the KU football program entire-
ly. A state-wide debate ensued.
The Universitys football team
made it through in the end, but it
was a close call.
Kansas regents J. W. Gleed and
William Allen White proposed to
the board the ending the KU foot-
ball program entirely and replac-
ing it with rugby. They werent
without cause, considering the
scandals around KU football at
the time.
When the football team failed
to live up to its initial success (14-
1-1 from 1891 to 1892), it allowed
players who were not passing their
classes or not enrolled to play.
The players safety was also at
question, as they wore little pro-
tective gear. One player named
Bert Serf from Doane College
in Nebraska died during a game
against Kansas in 1896.
Complaints and concerns
mounted in the years to come
along with scandals involving in-
eligible players and narcotics.
In reaction to Gleed and Whites
proposal, Chancellor Frank
Strong, although in favor of the
retention of football, wrote a let-
ter to the American Football Rules
Committee asking for changes in
the rules to better promote safety.

Huge Katrina bill
paid, no questions
WASHINGTON A bill for
busing evacuees from New
Orleans in the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina was $32
million more than it should
have been, and the govern-
ment paid it without question,
the Transportation Department
inspector general said.
Landstar Express America
was given 570 specifc tasks
to supply enough vehicles to
haul thousands of truckloads
of goods and thousands of
busloads of people after the
hurricane struck.
The inspector generals of-
fce reviewed six of the tasks
that have been paid for by the
Federal Aviation Administra-
tion. The example of the bus
service to New Orleans un-
derscores the need to ensure
that all pending invoices are
accompanied by some type of
documentation that substanti-
ates that the goods and ser-
vices were provided as billed,
according to the report signed
by Assistant Inspector General
David Dobbs.

New bin Laden tape
confrms he lives
WASHINGTON Osama
bin Ladens warning last week
about an upcoming attack on
the United States answered
at least one question about
the Al Qaeda leader: He is still
alive, or at least was until very
recently.
But it opened a new inquiry
by counterterror offcials who
are analyzing the bin Laden
audiotape for clues about
when and where it was made
and, most importantly, wheth-
er it sends a signal to carry out
his threat.
Intelligence analysts were
scrutinizing the recording for
any clues including certain
words and phrases that might
be a signal for the terror
networks members or follow-
ers. They spoke on condition
of anonymity because they
were not authorized to speak
publicly about the matter.
The Homeland Security
Department said it had no
plans to raise the nations
terror threat-alert level and no
reason to believe an attack was
imminent.
We, of course, have been
very concerned about the
threat of terrorism, generally,
since the attacks of 9/11, Attor-
ney General Alberto Gonzales
said.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. In
death, 14 West Virginia coal min-
ers have achieved something that
just a month ago seemed an un-
likely goal: Labor, industry and
lawmakers are united in demand-
ing that a dangerous subterranean
occupation be made safer.
Hours after the bodies of two
missing miners were found Satur-
day in Aracoma Coals Alma No.
1 mine at Melville, Gov. Joe Man-
chin and West Virginias congres-
sional delegation called for a ma-
jor overhaul of state and federal
mine safety laws.
Both the National Mining As-
sociation and the United Mine
Workers of America said Sun-
day that they, too, will press for
change.
This is a time for all of us who
share responsibility for mining
safety to come together and look
for ways to make mining safer,
said Carol Raulston, spokeswom-
an for the National Mining Asso-
ciation in Washington. We have
made dramatic improvements
over the last 15 years, but theres
more to be done.
The bodies of Don I. Bragg, 33,
and Ellery Elvis Hatfield, 47,
were found Saturday, two days
after a conveyor belt caught fire
inside the Alma mine in southern
West Virginia. Their deaths came
just weeks after a Jan. 2 mine ex-
plosion that led to the deaths of
12 other miners exposed to car-
bon monoxide inside the Sago
Mine in the northern part of the
state.
UMW president Cecil Roberts
said Congress and state legisla-
tures must take steps to ensure
existing regulations are strictly
enforced.
We must also develop new ini-
tiatives that will give every miner
a vastly improved chance to walk
out of a mine after an accident,
alive and well and safe in the arms
of their loved ones, he said.
A Senate Appropriations sub-
committee schedules hearings
on mine safety Monday, and U.S.
Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming)
who chairs the Senate Health
Education Labor and Pensions
Committee, which oversees mine
safety, also planned a hearing.
Nationally, there were 22 mine
deaths in 2005, a record low.
Three of those were in West Vir-
ginia, the nations second-largest
coal producer.
Manchin said he would ask
West Virginia lawmakers on Mon-
day to pass three bills being writ-
ten over the weekend to improve
rapid response to mine emergen-
cies and set up electronic track-
ing technology for lost miners
and reserve oxygen stations un-
derground. He also plans to meet
with federal lawmakers.
We must put into place com-
mon sense proposals like these
that will provide improved safe-
ty and security for miners and
their families, said Sen. Jeff
Bingaman(D-New Mexico) which
has the nations fifth-largest un-
derground coal mine.
If Manchins effort results in
federal action, it could be the
third time that a West Virginia
tragedy has had nationwide rami-
fications.
The Mine Health and Safety Act
was written a year after a 1968 ex-
plosion at Farmington that killed
78 miners, including Manchins
uncle. Federal laws governing the
construction of mine drainage
settling ponds were adopted after
125 people where killed when an
impoundment gave way in 1972
and flooded communities along
Buffalo Creek, less than 20 miles
from the Alma mine.
When people get mad, theyre
more likely to do something, said
Sen. John Rockefeller(D-West
Viginia) who was with Manchin
when the families of the Alma
miners were told the men were
dead. When I go back to Con-
gress ... whats happened at Sago
and whats happened here, theres
got to be a lot of mad people.
The Bush administration is re-
viewing safety equipment in mines
after scrapping similar initiatives
started by the Clinton adminis-
tration. Miners advocates said
pulling those initiatives stopped
potentially important safety rules
from becoming reality; the Re-
publicans cited changing priori-
ties and resource concerns.
The owner of the Sago Mine,
International Coal Group Inc.,
isnt waiting for federal action.
President Ben Hatfield says hes
already formed a team to pursue
change.

A group of Jayhawk fans check out an exhibit at the opening of the Booth
Family Hall of Athletics before saturdays game against Nebraska. This new
addition of Allen Fieldhouse contains decades of KU history.
Hall

Cameras snapped and heads
twisted as each fan tried to ab-
sorb the Hall. Many fans said
there were too many items
to view in a short amount of
time. That didnt stop them
from trying, though.
Its almost overpowering.
You really see the power and
tradition of Kansas athletics,
said Matt Kelley, Lenexa junior.
Some left with chills, more
with smiles, all with another KU
story to tell friends and family
following the 96-54 bludgeoning
of Nebraska. Kansas fans exited

Blowout
continued from page 1a
The Jayhawks shot 72.4
percent from the field in the
first half, which gave Kansas
a 51-30 lead at half.
The outside shooting
counteracted a zone defense
Nebraska displayed early in
the game.
Kansas, which couldnt
break through Kansas States
defensive zone last week,
penetrated the Nebraska
zone and passed the ball to
the perimeter for open shots.
The Jayhawks were stellar
from beyond the arc, going
11-of-18.
As long as everybody is
ready and prepared to come
in and do what they are sup-
posed to do, know their role,
I think we can have a lot of
nights like this, senior guard
Jeff Hawkins said.
Rush said he had felt that
anything he or his teammates
shot would go in during the
first half.
We just kept throwing it
back up, and everything was
dropping, Rush said.
The Kansas City, Mo., na-
tive had 17 points and went
3-of-4 from three-point
range.
While the margin of victory
was huge for the Jayhawks,
Self said the team had not
played as well as the score
indicated.
I got the feeling that it
was one of those, no, no,
no, good shot, days because
we shot a lot of long threes
early, Self said. We didnt
play as well as we shot it but
we shot the ball great.
After back-to-back losses,
the Jayhawks desperately
needed a victory to get their
season back on track for
what the team hopes will be
an eventual NCAA Tourna-
ment run.
This is a big confidence
builder and now we just have
to continue to focus in,
Hawkins said.
Robinson provided defen-
sive pressure, which sparked
the Jayhawks in the first
half.
He had clutch steals that
led to easy baskets in transi-
tion. Kansas scored 37 points
off of turnovers and got 55
points from the bench.
So far it has been the
most complete game, Rob-
inson said.
The majority of the bench
points came from three play-
ers: Hawkins, sophomore
forward Darnell Jackson
and freshman forward Julian
Wright.
Those three players com-
bined for 42 points. Wright
displayed highlight-reel abil-
ity with three dunks in the
game.
Jackson and Wright made
up for a struggling front
court. Starting sophomore
center Sasha Kaun couldnt
grab rebounds, which led Self
to insert Wright and Jackson
into the lineup.
Kaun and senior Christian
Moody had just one defen-
sive rebound at halftime and
that prompted Self to make
the change.

Basketball Notes:
Sophomore center CJ Giles
played just five minutes and
Self said if the game had
been closer, Giles would not
have played.
Self said that Giles had
played little because he had
missed class on Friday.
Former Kansas basketball
player Walt Wesley was there
Saturday. Wesley played from
1964-66 and has his jersey
hanging from the rafters of
Allen Fieldhouse.
Freshman guard Micah
Downs was ill and didnt
play. Self said that Downs
would have seen more signif-
icant play time in that game
if he hadnt been sick,

Working
continued from page 1a
I dont know how they work
so many hours per week, said
Ann Hartley, Associate Director
of the University Career Center.
The hard thing about it is that you
miss the advantages involved with
school while youre here.
Hartley said the University em-
ployed around 4,500 students, but
didnt know exactly how many
University students have off-cam-
pus jobs. Undergraduate students
held the largest portion of on-
campus jobs with 2,500. Graduate
teaching assistants and graduate
research assistants comprised the
rest.
Theres certainly a real conve-
nience to working on-campus,
Hartley said. It probably helps
with retention rates, too. You
would be less likely to drop out of
school.
Brian Lewis, a Hutchinson
sophomore currently studying
sports management who works as
a facility assistant at the Student
Recreation and Fitness Center, ac-
knowledged the benefts of work-
ing on campus.
He said he had increased his
work schedule from 10 to 15 hours
per week this semester because he
planned to study abroad in the fu-
ture and knew he should start sav-
ing.
Earning your own money
theres something to be said about
that, Lewis said. I dont like ask-
ing for money, even though I do it.
I wish everyone had to earn their
own money.
Not all students feel that way.
Colin Kastrup, St. Louis sopho-
more, said not working helped him
concentrate on his coursework.
I feel sorry for them, he said
of students who work. I wish they
had the opportunity to not work. I
defnitely feel guilty.
Kastrup, double-majoring in flm
and Spanish, receives money from
his parents. His parents wouldnt
allow him to work during his fresh-
man year, and although they allow
it now, he said they want him to
keep his priorities in line.
They just think school is more
important right now, Kastrup
said.
Kastrup had a job in high school
and works as a restaurant cook
when he heads to St. Louis over
winter and summer breaks. At
school, however, Kastrup deals
with an excess amount of time on
his hands.
Hartley hinted at this working
versus not working dilemma. She
emphasized the importance of be-
ing involved with school functions,
such as games and organizations
and having the time to take intern-
ships geared toward their future
careers.In order to have that time,
students have very little free time
remaining to earn money for ex-
penses.
Herein lies the problem: if stu-
dents are working they dont have
time for school, but if they only fo-
cus on school, too much free time
may accumulate.
If you werent involved with
any activities and you didnt work,
your employers in the future will
wonder, Well, what were you do-
ing? Hartley said.
Jessie Boswell, Buhler sopho-
more, sees both sides of the fence.
The psychology major works two
jobs, one on-campus and one off,
totaling 20 to 25 hours per week.
She spends 8 to 10 hours per week
as a desk assistant in the math de-
partment at Snow Hall. For the
remaining hours, Boswell works
as a sales associate at Maurices on
Massachusetts Street.
Boswell said the lessons learned
from balancing being a student
and working, including time
and money management, would
help her forever.
Although most jobs are not
ones that students will likely
pursue for their careers, Hart-
ley thinks the experience is still
benefcial.
Learning time and money
management may prove some-
day to be as necessary as the
classes students enroll in, but
for now its the struggle between
those that work and those that
dont that get the attention.

COMMENTARY
In the last few years, it has
become increasingly clear that an
alternative to gasoline needs to
be developed. Car manufacturers
have made great strides in this
area by producing hybrid cars,
which use the internal combus-
tion engine of a regular vehicle
along with a battery and an
electric motor.
These cars are great, and we
have all heard celebrities swear
by them, but there is a slight
problem: You pretty much have
to be a celebrity to get one.
Solar-powered cars have been
looked into also, but even if a
car could be powered on solar
energy alone, that car would
cost a bundle.
Cars with the ability to run
on natural gas and hydrogen are
available. Natural gas is made
up of hydrocarbons and is pro-
duced from gas wells. Natural
gas burns very cleanly and it is
not nearly as hazardous to the
environment as other fuels.
Products have even been
developed that enable people to
compress natural gas from the
pipes in their houses right into
their vehicles.
Hydrogen is abundant. We
would never have to worry
about running out of hydro-
gen to power our cars. A car
running on hydrogen could get
almost 5,000 miles out of one
tank! Hows that for efcient?
So why dont we all have these
amazing natural gas and hydro-
gen vehicles? Once again, the
problem lies in the expense of
such a purchase.
So what can we regular folks
use as an alternative to gaso-
line? One option is biodiesel.
PBS posted an article on its
Web site describing the use of
biodiesel at the Regional Trans-
portation Center in San Diego.
At the center, people can ll
their fuel tanks with biodiesel
made from french fry grease
and other oils.
Mike Lewis, who runs the
center, said in the PBS article
that the center takes cooking
oil from local restaurants and
turns it into a source of fuel.
Animal fats, soybeans and
corn are other substances from
which biodiesel can be made.
Willie Nelson is a fan of this
fuel alternative and has even gone
so far as to invent his own form of
biodiesel called BioWillie.
BioWillie is made from vari-
ous crops and can be used in
a regular diesel engine. In an
article in the Kansas City Star,
Nelson doted on his fuel, but
the Sierra Club expressed its
lack of enthusiasm concerning
BioWillie.
Dan Becker, of the Sierra
Club, spoke to the Star about
the potential harm to the envi-
ronment due to the amount of
fertilizer needed to grow crops
used in biodiesel fuel.
Becker said in the article,
If you really want to listen to
Willie Nelson, go buy one of his
records and play it in a hybrid.
Poor Willie.
Despite not necessarily being
benecial to the environment,
biodiesel is an inexpensive source
of fuel. Plus, it is a great way to feel
better about eating french fries.
A lot of fries have to be made
to fuel cars with the grease. Those
fries really should not go to waste.
I mean, its for a good cause.

I was really enjoying being at
home during winter break. Away
from the dining halls, I got to eat
hearty, tasty meals that werent on
a regular two-week rotation. I was
getting into a pretty good groove of
sleeping until ridiculously obscene
hours of the day for no good rea-
son, reaching an all-time record of
5:30 p.m. once. But most of all I
just enjoyed being lazy and having
no responsibility.
Last Monday I could tell that
adjusting back to college life
would be difcult. That was
when I made the big, impressive
splash I was hoping for in my
rst semester on the staff of this
newspaper by stumbling into the
rst day of Kansan orientation
half an hour late, still groggy
after sleeping through my alarm.
So, personally, I wasnt
looking forward to the start of
school terribly much.
Freshmen around campus have
varying perspectives on returning
to school after winter break. While
some dont return at all, others feel
relieved at coming back to school
for a second semester.
It was actually a really good
feeling, Nick Reed, St. Louis
freshman, said. College isnt
like high school because over
break you cant hang out with the
people you go to school with.
Then, of course, there are some
freshmen who never return after
going home for winter break.
According to surveys con-
ducted by the Institutional Re-
search Ofce, the percentage of
freshmen who dont return for
their second semester has hov-
ered around seven percent in
recent years, Kathryn Nemeth
Tuttle, associate vice provost
for student success, said.
There are many complex
reasons why students dont
continue, She said. Probably
about half leave for academic
reasons and about half for per-
sonal or nancial reasons.
Reed said the only time he
had ever thought about leaving
the University was the second
day after he arrived in August,
when he didnt know anyone
here. But now that hes gotten
to know people, he said leaving
was the last thing he would do.
Tuttle said that most students
left of their own accord, rather
than being asked to leave.
Its actually very difcult for
students to be dismissed after
the rst semester, she said.
But thats exactly what hap-
pened to Zach Johnson, a To-
peka freshman last semester. He
received a letter during break
telling him that he had not
met the Universitys academic
standards and that he had been
dismissed as a student. This is
understandable, though.
I had fun, Johnson said.
But as far as schoolwork goes,
I didnt really do anything.
Johnson lived on my dorm
oor last semester, and hes
denitely not stupid, lazy or un-
motivated. He just never went
to class because he had other
concerns. He poured a lot of
his energy into playing guitar,
and he was planning to transfer
to a sound engineering school
in Florida, anyway.
This is what I suspect is the
case for most freshmen who
dont come back for a second
semester they just realize that
the University, or even college in
general, just isnt right for them.
Those of us who choose to
keep going with school, though,
will continue to wage battles
against procrastination, lack of
sleep, and boring lectures with our
heads held high, no matter how
much we would like to continue
sleeping well past noon every day.

Its time to give a wake-up call
to the campus safety advisory
board on how money is being
spent on campus safety.
Case in point: JayWalk. Its
a service program that offers to
walk students to their cars or
any building on campus.
It operates from 9 p.m. to
1 a.m. from Sunday through
Thursday out of posts at An-
schutz Library and GSP-Corbin
Hall.
No one could give a de-
nitive answer on exactly how
many volunteers and users of
the program there were each se-
mester but reports indicate the
number for both groups hovers
around 40 to 50.
Andrew Schmidt, Lawrence
sophomore, volunteered with
JayWalk during the 2004-2005
school year. He worked one or
two two-hour shifts a week and
walked six people the entire year.
He said it was a good service
but people just didnt use it.
Student Senate implemented
the program Fall 2003 as one
of the political platforms of
KUniteds campaign from the
previous spring semester.
Like the yellow bike pro-
gram, JayWalk exists as another
testament to Senate bureaucra-
cy and impractical ideas real-
ized at the students expense.
Approximately $120,000
comes from the $2 student
safety fee everyone pays each
semester. The campus safety
advisory board, made up of
student senators, is charged
with spending that on capital
improvements like improving
lighting, adding crosswalks and
maintaining the blue phones.
JayWalk received $12,800
this year to spend on Inter-
net and phone usage, promo-
tion and other incidentals.
Each year, however, the
program ends up with nearly
$1,000 of unspent money, yet
JayWalk saw an increase of
$2,100 in funding from the
previous year.
Despite its coordinators best
efforts, the program is impracti-
cal and thus doomed from the
start.
Students can just as eas-
ily call a friend or carry mace
rather than take an awkward
stroll with two strangers.
After three years, there has
been enough time to criti-
cally evaluate the program and
make adjustments. It also does
not address the other safety
concerns of students, like the
more unsafe surrounding areas
off-campus, where poor lighting
and sidewalks are a problem.
Student Senate needs to get
realistic about its goals to help
student safety and reevaluate
Jaywalk.

COMMENTARY

EDITORIAL BOARD
JayWalk doesnt
walk the line
Just when some of us thought
that winter break couldnt get
any more boring, along came
the Alito hearings.
While no one expected these
hearings to be a three-ring circus
of fun and excitement, Alitos
opponents had, up to the begin-
ning of the hearings, raised quite
a few issues that could easily
have sent him the way of former
candidate Harriet Miers.
However, in a less-than-excit-
ing style, Alito turned what had
the potential to be serious chal-
lenges to his nomination into so
much hot air. In fact, it seemed
during most of the hearings that
the senators remarks and ques-
tions took up more time than
Alitos responses.
To most who watched, this
seemed to be because Alito
answered questions so succinctly
and concisely and with such sol-
id reasoning that senators had no
choice but to speak in verbose
circles in vain attempts to come
up with any sort of follow-up.
As for the serious accusations
made against Alito, all of them
appear to have been disproven.
For instance, the accusations
that Alito is a closet bigot with
ties to an unsavory organization
at Princeton have been totally
refuted. What was proven was
that that Alito had only a
subscription to a magazine pub-
lished by Concerned Alumni
of Princeton (CAP) and this
subscription was the result of
his desire to see ROTC return
to the Princeton campus and
not of his dislike for minorities.
It also came out that, far from
being a racist and sexist publica-
tion, the CAP magazine had only
been targeted due to a single
article that decried the rising en-
rollment of women and minorities
at Princeton, which turned out to
be an entirely satirical piece.
Not only could senators not
make hay of Alitos answers about
some of his more notable rulings,
but the American Bar Associa-
tion, which asked Alito many of
the same questions about his judi-
cial reasoning, found his answers
satisfactory enough to give him its
highest rating.
Despite all of this, Democrat
senators stalled the Judicial
Committee vote on Alito for a
week because several senators
would have had to hurry back
to Washington from Martin
Luther King Day celebrations.
Although it is the right of sena-
tors to delay votes like this for up
to a week, the beginning of the
hearings were already held up by
a week with the understanding
that they wouldnt be delayed later.
That makes this latest postpone-
ment look like a cheap stall tactic.
It seems that once again Sen-
ate Democrats are attempting to
obstruct the elevation of a highly
qualied judge because they
dont agree with that judges phi-
losophy, but this ploy has been
defeated before, and, it should
denitely be defeated again.

Subpoena seeks internet records
By Michael liedtke
The AssociATed Press
SAN FRANCISCO - Google
Inc. is rebuffng the Bush ad-
ministrations demand for a
peek at what millions of people
have been looking up on the
Internets leading search engine
a request that underscores the
potential for online databases to
become tools for government
surveillance.
Mountain View-based Google
has refused to comply with a
White House subpoena frst is-
sued last summer, prompting
U.S. Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales this week to ask a fed-
eral judge in San Jose for an or-
der to hand over the requested
records.
The government wants a
list all requests entered into
Googles search engine during
an unspecifed single week a
breakdown that could conceiv-
ably span tens of millions of
queries. In addition, it seeks 1
million randomly selected Web
addresses from various Google
databases.
In court papers that the San
Jose Mercury News reported on
after seeing them Wednesday,
the Bush administration de-
picts the information as vital in
its effort to restore online child
protection laws that have been
struck down by the U.S. Su-
preme Court.
Yahoo Inc., which runs the
Internets second-most used
search engine behind Google,
confrmed Thursday that it had
complied with a similar govern-
ment subpoena.
Although the government says
it isnt seeking any data that ties
personal information to search
requests, the subpoena still raises
serious privacy concerns, experts
said. Those worries have been
magnifed by recent revelations
that the White House authorized
eavesdropping on civilian commu-
nications after the Sept. 11 attacks
without obtaining court approval.
Search engines now play
such an important part in our
daily lives that many people
probably contact Google more
often than they do their own
mother, said Thomas Burke,
a San Francisco attorney who
has handled several promi-
nent cases involving privacy
issues.
Just as most people would be
upset if the government wanted
to know how much you called
your mother and what you talk-
ed about, they should be upset
about this, too.
The content of search request
sometimes contain information
about the person making the
query.
For instance, its not un-
usual for search requests to
include names, medical pro-
files or Social Security infor-
mation, said Pam Dixon, ex-
ecutive director for the World
Privacy Forum.
This is exactly the kind of
thing we have been worrying
about with search engines for
some time, Dixon said. Google
should be commended for fght-
ing this.
Every other search engine
served similar subpoenas by the
Bush administration has com-
plied so far, according to court
documents. The cooperating
search engines werent identi-
fed.
Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Ya-
hoo stressed that it didnt reveal
any personal information. We
are rigorous defenders of our
users privacy, Yahoo spokes-
woman Mary Osako said Thurs-
day. In our opinion, this is not
a privacy issue.
Microsoft Corp. MSN, the
No. 3 search engine, declined
to say whether it even received a
similar subpoena. MSN works
closely with law enforcement of-
fcials worldwide to assist them
when requested, the company
said in a statement.
As the Internets dominant
search engine, Google has built
up a valuable storehouse of in-
formation that makes it a very
attractive target for law enforce-
ment, said Chris Hoofnagle, se-
nior counsel for the Electronic
Privacy Information Center.
The Department of Justice
argues that Googles coopera-
tion is essential in its effort to
simulate how people navigate
the Web.
In a separate case in Pennsyl-
vania, the Bush administration
is trying to prove that Internet
flters dont do an adequate job
of preventing children from ac-
cessing online pornography and
other objectionable destina-
tions.
Obtaining the subpoenaed
information from Google
would assist the government
in its efforts to understand
the behavior of current Web
users, (and) to estimate how
often Web users encounter
harmful-to-minors material in
the course of their searches,
the Justice Department wrote
in a brief filed Wednesday
Google whose motto
when it went public in 2004
was do no evil contends
that submitting to the subpoe-
na would represent a betrayal
to its users, even if all per-
sonal information is stripped
from the search terms sought
by the government.
Googles acceding to the
request would suggest that it
is willing to reveal information
about those who use its servic-
es. This is not a perception that
Google can accept, company
attorney Ashok Ramani wrote
in a letter included in the gov-
ernments fling.
Complying with the sub-
poena also wound threaten
to expose some of Googles
crown-jewel trade secrets,
Ramani wrote. Google is par-
ticularly concerned that the
information could be used to
deduce the size of its index
and how many computers it
uses to crunch the requests.

Elvera opens it up to everybody

enjoyed every opportunity I have
had with the East Hill singers. It
gave me a lot to look forward to.
Unlike their Jan. 8 performance
at Blessed Sacrament Church in
Kansas City, Kan., where 50 peo-
ple protested, the chorus was met
with no opposition and the con-
cert went without interruption.
The groups performance fea-
tured everything from Russian
folk songs to a traditional Swed-
ish hymn and a composition by
Beethoven.
Three pieces in particular drew
abundant cheering. A piece en-
titled Rap for Redemption, writ-
ten by inmate Essex Sims, along
with a stirring rendition of Down
to the River to Pray and This
Little Light of Mine with featured
singer Monique Danielle, generat-
ing throughout the church.
The rap recalls the pain and
tragedy that Simss actions trig-
gered and the lives that were dis-
rupted by the incident. Voth told
the audience that once she heard
Simss piece she had to incorpo-
rate it into the chorus.
Ray Fancher, interim senior
pastor at First Presbyterian
Church, said that a future date
with the East Hill Singers was a
possibility.
I was absolutely delighted by
the response by our church and
community, he said The chorus
met and exceeded every expec-
tation that I had. I would love to
have them back.

Big 12 record
improves for
Kansas women
By Daniel Berk
dberk@kansan.com
Kansan senior sportswriter
By the time Jeff Hawkins hit
his second three-point shot
during Kansas 96-54 victory
against Nebraska Saturday,
he had already surpassed his
point total from his previous
four games.
The senior guard came into
the game scoring only four
points in his previous four
games. He didnt register a
point against Kentucky, Colo-
rado or Kansas State.
Hawkins made up for his
low point production Satur-
day when he scored 17 points
in 18 minutes and was a per-
fect 5-of-5 from three-point
distance.
Once I hit my first shot,
it gives me more confidence
to shoot the second one,
Hawkins said. Once I hit my
first couple shots, I just got
the mind set I could make any
shot I take.
It didnt take long for
Hawkins presence to be felt.
Kansas was leading 10-7 early
in the first half when Hawkins
hit his first three-pointer. He
came off a screen and the
ball rattled around the cyl-
inder before dropping in. It
was Hawkins first three-point
shot since Jan. 4.
Hawkins hit his second shot
minutes later after he received a
pass from freshman guard Bran-
don Rush. This time, the ball
didnt have to touch the rim.
Kansas coach Bill Self said
he never thought of reducing
Hawkins playing time before
the Nebraska game because
his scoring production was
down.
I was starting Jeff when he
wasnt scoring a point, Self
said. When a guy comes in
and plays well, naturally he
stays out there longer, but he
is in our rotation. He will stay
in our rotation.
Hawkins started the first 11
games for Kansas this season,
but he was moved to the bench
in favor of freshman guard
Mario Chalmers. Since then,
Hawkins has still played fre-
quently in the past six games.
Hawkins did most of his
damage in the first half when
he scored 14 of his 17 points.
His third three-pointer would
come off a fast break when
sophomore guard Jeremy Case
passed the ball to Hawkins,
who set his feet and launched
another three-pointer.
Besides his three-point
shooting display, Hawkins was
also bothering the Nebraska
guards all game forcing turn-
overs and creating fast break
opportunities for Kansas.

After winning its first 12
games with offense, the wom-
ens basketball team went a
different direction yesterday
and won a game with domi-
nating defense.
The Jayhawks claimed their
13th victory by defeating
Oklahoma State 66-46. The
46 points allowed were the
fewest Kansas has allowed all
season.
Its very important that
we play well on the defensive
end, because theres going
to be nights we cant score,
senior guard Erica Hallman
said.
The impressive numbers
also included a 35-6 scoring
run by the Jayhawks, during
which the Cowgirls were un-
able to score a basket for 11
straight minutes.
We were an awfully good
defensive team last year, and
we need to get back to that,
Kansas coach Bonnie Hen-
rickson said.
The Cowgirls entered the
game averaging 63.8 points
per game, the worst in the
conference.
We have got to be the easi-
est team to defend in the Big
12, Oklahoma State coach
Kurt Budke said.
For Hallman, the game
against Oklahoma State was
an opportunity to break out
of a slump.
Ive been struggling the
last three games, but I had a
really good week of practice,
she said. I just tried to play a
complete game.
Hallman did that well, add-
ing six rebounds and seven
assists to her 14 points.

Crystal Kemp was bumped out
of the lane and nearly knocked
down as she tried to fght off a
pesky double team.
She regained her balance and
called for the ball. After getting
the ball in the paint, all it took
was a simple turnaround to fnd
open space.
Once open, Crystal Kemp is
nearly impossible to stop.
Kemp, senior forward, scored
a game-high 25 points and pulled
down a season-high 13 rebounds
in Kansas victory against Okla-
homa State yesterday.
I thought Crystal was fantas-
tic in the paint, Kansas coach
Bonnie Henrickson said. There
was a lot of contact and traffc in
the lane, but she handled it very
well.
Kemp continued her domina-
tion in the paint, personally out-
scoring all of Oklahoma States
post players.
She scored at will in the sec-
ond half, consistently fnding an
open seam in Oklahoma States
zone defense. She had nearly half
of the Jayhawks points during a
35-6 run in an 18-minute stretch
of play late in the frst half and
early in the second half.
I knew theyd do that,
Kemp said of the zone defense.
Its just a matter of taking
my time and not rushing any-
thing.

As sports editors, we want to
establish an identity that you, the
reader, can relate to this semester.
The Gameday page was new
during football season that pro-
vided readers with important play-
ers and statistics to watch for. This
semester we will continue with that
format for basketball. The Game-
day page will include mens basket-
ball games and big games for the
womens basketball team as well.
In keeping the Gameday page,
wed like to bring change to the
sports page.
Were working on game stories
being more personal. We want you
to read the stories and learn some-
thing new, whether you attended
the games or not. Wed like to take
you beyond the box scores and
convey the actions and emotions
of the games.
Columns will be done different-
ly this semester. For the frst time
in recent memory, the reader will
know who will write columns on
four days of the week.
We hope our columns make you
think about the topic presented
and formulate your own opinions.
Everything in the sports sec-
tion will be well-researched, from
the opinion columns to the sports
feature stories. Our aim is to de-
liver news to the students with all
the proper facts. Were not perfect,
though. To that effect, we encour-
age you to tell us whats working
and whats not.
Wed also like to deliver sports
action at the University in ways
other than columns and game
stories. This can be achieved with
spotlights on athletes away from
their game, from the most well-
known faces to pickup game su-
perheroes.
The renovation of Kansan.com
will also add a new element to our
sports coverage. Blogs, breaking
stories and extended coverage will
be featured on the new-and-im-
proved Web site.
We hope that you will get in-
volved and establish an identity
with us, whether its by picking
up the paper or checking out our
content online. To let us know
how were doing, feel free to stop
by and talk to us or utilize the new
online comments posting system
for each article we publish. Either
way, youll be helping us provide
you with better sports coverage.

The funny thing about KU
basketball, now that football
seasonisover,istheattitudeof
many students and fans. It al-
ways seems to change dramati-
callyfromgametogame.
One moment, after an ugly
home loss against Kansas State
andanotherontheroadagainst
Missouri, the town sank into a
near depression. Most talk of
the team began with the letters
NIT.
Then less than a week later,
everyone was hugs and giggles
after Kansas 96-54 blowout of
NebraskaSaturday.
That is the main difference
with basketball at the University
comparedtoallothersports.The
fans are quick to reverse their
opinion. Its either feast or fam-
ine.SometimesIfeelbadforthe

like neither can ever truly please

SometimesIwonderifcoach
Bill Self has any regrets about
coming to Kansas. Basketball
minds such as Jerry Tarkanian,
RickMajerusandJayBilashave
each recently called Self one of
Americas best young coaches.
Several schools would sacrifce
their frst-born to hire a coach
withSelfsrespectability.
Ironically, Self doesnt seem
tocommandthesamerespectas
hegetsoutsideofLawrence.In
fact, Self resembles Texas foot-
ballcoachMackBrown.
Year after year Self has had
fantastic recruiting classes and
has produced teams that won
a lot of games. But, because of
missed opportunities in games
hereandthere,Selfhasreceived
criticism. The resemblance to
the criticism Brown had en-
dured through the years is al-
mosteerie.
Ofcourse,peoplewhofrequent

Only one University of
Kansas team has finished
in the top five nationally in
the past three seasons the
Rock Chalk Dancers.
The dance team finished
third in the College National
Championships on Jan. 15 in
Orlando.
The Rock Chalk Dancers
continued a trend that start-
ed two years ago, when they
finished second. They placed
fifth last year.
Perhaps the most impres-
sive aspect of the teams
three-year run is that only 25
squads are allowed to com-
pete at the national cham-
pionships. The tournament
field was selected through
audition tapes sent in by
each team.
The third-place finish in
the most competitive divi-
sion has solidified the teams
place as a national dance
powerhouse.
The team has really come
together, coach Tasha Ruble
said.
Ruble said the team re-
ceived more national recog-
nition and performed at a
near-perfect caliber. Some
dancers agreed with Ruble
and acknowledged that they
have become revered as a na-
tional power.
It gave me a great deal of
pride to place in the top five
for the third year in a row,
Christina Gekas, Eden Prai-
rie, Minn., junior, said. The
program has built a lot these
last three years. Before three
years ago no one knew about
us; now, we have national re-
spect.
The dancers also finished
11th in the Hip Hop compe-
tition.
Their ability to make the
national championships year
in and year out has taken
its toll, according to team
members. Long hours of end-
less dancing, cardiovascular
training and repetition of
their routines are in the job
description for the dancers.
Taking each of those in-
gredients to the next level is
how the team said they con-
tinually succeeded on the na-
tional stage.
Andrea Hill, Omaha,
Neb., sophomore, said the
consistency of the teams
placing at nationals has not
surprised her. She said the
team worked on routines all
summer and fall. Before the
national championship, the
team practiced seven hours a
day for two weeks.
Our dedication and loy-
alty to the team helps, Hill
said. We worked our butts
off for nationals. We came
back a week earlier than last
year to practice. We practice
as much if not more than
other teams.
Kelly Cure, Blooming-
ton, Minn. sophomore, said
that bruising, sweat-induced
practices was the only way
to stay ahead of the compe-
tition.
Nationals practice is re-
ally intense. You feel like
you cant move afterward.
Its a marathon, its a bat-
tle, Cure said.
Hill said she thought the
team was as close to perfect
as possible in Orlando.
We performed amazing,
Hill said. We did the best
we possibly could with our
routine. Its a great feeling to
know that all your hard work
paid off.

Hawkins
continued from page 1B
Sophomore guard Russell Robinson,
who has started all 17 games this sea-
son, is usually the player responsible
for guarding Hawkins in practice. He
said going against Hawkins has made
his game stronger.
He helps a lot because he is a great
on-the-ball defender, Robinson said.
He gets me game ready. Jeff is a good
player and I think this is good for him be-
cause he hasnt had that good of a game
the last two games.
Hawkins day ended early in the sec-
ond half when the game was well in
control. When it ended, Hawkins was
two points off his career best of 19 and
had his second career 5-of-5 game from
three-point distance. The other came last
year against Baylor.
Hawkins is one of three seniors on
the roster, along with forward Chris-
tian Moody and guard Stephen Vinson.
Hawkins registered the most minutes of
those three seniors against Nebraska.
As a senior you have to talk to your
teammates and keep everybodys head
on the same page, Hawkins said. You
have to keep everybodys spirits up and
not let them get down, and thats what I
try to do.
Edited by Lindsey Gold
A 16-0 run in the first half
put the game out of reach. It
was fueled by strong defensive
play and clutch three-point
shooting. Sophomore guard
Russell Robinson dominated
that stretch and scored eight
of the 16 points.
Freshman guard Brandon
Rush was hot early, and
scored 10 of the Jayhawks
first 12 points. Rush was also a
force on the boards and pulled
down nine.
Quotable:
That was a killer because my
hamstrings are still tight, se-
nior guard Jeff Hawkins said
about running on the tread-
mill.
I guess he must have gotten
his class schedule yesterday be-
cause he failed to attend class
on Friday and that is why he
didnt play. You have a short
leash when you miss class,
Self said about CJ Giles.
We need him to play because
he is the one inside player,
other than CJ, that is a play-
maker. That can make plays
when nothings there and we
need somebody like that. Self
said about freshman forward
Julian Wright.
The red team was whooping
us in practice and we got it to-
gether, Rush said, about why
Self used the treadmill.
I havent been inducted. I
didnt even know I was a nom-
inee. Self said about whether
he had been in the Hall of
Fame at the Booth Family Hall
of Athletics.

Editors Note: The Kansan Big
12 Power Rankings are voted on
by Ryan Colaianni and Daniel
Berk, Kansas mens basketball
writers, as well as Eric Sorren-
tino, sports editor, and Erick R.
Schmidt, associate sports editor.
The mens power rankings
open up the spring semester
the same way the fall semester
ended in football with Texas
atop the polls. The Longhorns
have had difficult non-confer-
ence games against No. 12 Vir-
ginia, No. 23 Iowa, No. 1 Duke,
No. 4 Memphis and No. 3 Villa-
nova. Theyre still 16-2 and the
only team in the conference that
hasnt lost a Big 12 game.
Kansas starts the power rank-
ings in the upper half of the con-
ference after its 42-point victory
against Nebraska on Saturday.
The Jayhawks are now 2-2 in
conference play and will turn
their focus to Texas A&M on
Wednesday.
Kansas State earned the third
spot this week, after its three-
game winning streak against
Kansas, Texas A&M and Mis-
souri. The Wildcats have to go
on the road for their next two
games against Colorado and
Baylor.
The Bears have yet to win a
game and have lost by an aver-
age of 22 points. The four con-
ference games they have played
have not been competitive.
By no means are these rank-
ings set in stone. Ten of the 12
teams in the conference are
within one game of each other.

Juilan Wright took it hard to the basket during a fastbreak in Saturdays game. Wright went on to score a total of 12
points and had six total rebounds as the Jayhawks dominated the Corn Huskers in their 96 to 54 win.

Cheers to the open-
ing of the Booth Family
Hall of Athletics. It was
packed before the game.
Cheers to the KU fans.
The energy in the field-
house was unusually high
for a day game. The place
was packed despite two
straight losses.
Best line: Last year
I thought Joe McCray
might turn out to be a
good player, then he went
and became a fat kid in
the offseason.
Best cheer of the day:
Just like football.
Worst sign: Kansas
basketball, its awesome
baby. Dick Vitale was
not in Allen Fieldhouse.
Best nickname: Jack
it up Jeremy for sopho-
more guard Jeremy Case.
Cheers to freshman
forward Julian Wright.
He brought the house
down with all three of his
dunks.
Poor fan etiquette to
the fan who shouted
Missouri as Christian
Moody hit his second
free throw.
Jeers to the ushers who
took away students signs
before the game. Yeah,
they might have been a
bit inappropriate, but we
are in college and there is
some amendment that per-
mits freedom of speech.

Sudoku Instructions- Fill in the
grid with the numbers 1 through
9. Make sure that every row,
every column and every three-by-
three box do not repeat digits.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH
What you think will happen might
not. Visualize, but dont take anothers
word as absolute. In fact, you could be
irritated if you depend on someone too
much. Act and be the independent Ar-
ies we all know.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)HHHH Ir-
ritation could be building, as you might
feel that you are running around chas-
ing your tail. You could prevent feeling
a bit crazed by stopping and sorting
through your plans and priorities. Curb
your temper, if possible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Dive
into your work or a project. Your mind
could easily drift, causing a mistake or
fub-up of some kind. Concentrate and
complete as much as you can. A walk
or some exercise midday could elimi-
nate stress. A more defned schedule
could help your tension level.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH
Deal with others directly. Someone
who usually gives you good informa-
tion could be quite confusing. A friend
pushes you, which helps your creativ-
ity bubble up. Be happy with a child or
loved one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might
want to back off rather than trigger
someone. You could be more playful
than others would like. If you take a
strong stand right now, you could fnd
yourself in the middle of controversy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH
You might be on the phone more than
youd like as you integrate new infor-
mation. You could be uncomfortable
with what someone shares. You need
to get your own facts and be less de-
pendent on others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Risk-
taking could backfre, putting you in a
very uncomfortable position. You might
want to rethink a decision. A partner or
associate could become quite diffcult
if pushed. Be the diplomatic Libra.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH
You have get-up-and-go, but at the
same time, you could fnd that others
are very contentious. Are they envi-
ous? You might not have the answer,
but you will certainly hear from others,
and not always in a pleasant way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH
The less said, the luckier you will be.
Sometimes being discreet and not be-
ing out there works better. Be ready
to take a lesson in diplomacy. You will
like the end results. Your energy might
overwhelm others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)HHH
HH You zero in on long-term desires,
as you are far more up to snuff than
you have been in a long time. Listen
to what is being shared, and work
through opinions. You arent always
right, you know.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH
Pressure builds. Others expect you to
walk your talk. Will you? Can you? You
might be able to do what many cannot.
Others respond to what you say. In fact,
you get a lot of praise from others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH
You need to take the high road, es-
pecially as others are triggered. You
will see that a difference of opinion is
benefcial to everyone involved. Make
calls and take a project off the top
shelf. Youll get a lot done, quickly.

The difference for junior Jen-
ny Short is the preparation of the
womens swimming and diving
team.
Over winter break, the team
went through training camp in
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. with greater
intensity than in past years. In-
stead of just practicing once a
day, the team practiced twice a
day. The purpose of the camp
was to get the athletes to their
highest level of ftness and to
strengthen their endurance
I think that when you leave
your own home it takes you out
of your little comfort zone, she
said. We were pushed at a dif-
ferent level and had rigorous
training. By tearing you down,
it just builds you back up when
you get home and you get back
into a schedule.
Coming out of the train-
ing camp people are really tired
and sore, but I think that we
showed amazing resilience to it
because we did so well for how
tired we were, senior co-captain
Emily Rusch said. I was really
impressed with how everyone
swam.
Kansas coach Clark Campbell
said he felt as though the training
camp had been a success because
the team became extremely ft.
The next goal will be to become
faster as they develop the endur-
ance to swim longer. The train-
ing did something else: it helped
bring the team closer together.
We got to come together as
a team because we spent a lot
of time together. We had a team
bonding activity where we all
said what we appreciated about
everyone and became closer as a
whole, senior co-captain Gina
Gnatzig said.
Campbell said he credited the
progress the team made this year
to senior leadership.
I attribute a lot of this to the
captains and our seniors they
have been great leaders this
year. We feel like on our team
we dont have any freshmen.
They are starting their second se-
mester at school, but they have
grown up really quick and I feel
it is because of upper classmen
leadership, Campbell said.
The freshmen have been able to
feel the support from the upper-
classmen. They have been pre-
forming at a high level and are
some of the fastest players on the
team.
Freshmen Ashley Leidigh
and Danielle Herrmann set new
school records this season in the
100-meter Butterfy and the 100-
meter Breaststroke events.
Leidigh said the seniors kept
the team on task and have made
the adjustment from high school
to college go smoothly.
They are always there and
they are always positive. They
know it is really tough for us so
they give us a lot of encourage-
ment, Leidigh said.
The team participated in two
meets over break. Kansas fn-
ished third in the Florida In-
ternational Relays and beat
Nebraska to become 2-0 in the
Big 12 Conference. Fatigue had
an effect on their times, but the
swimmers were still able to com-
pete at a level that allowed them
to do well.
I was really tired and I didnt
put up the best times, Leidigh
said. I still swam well, but I
could have swam faster. It was
harder to race because I was ex-
hausted.
Campbell said he was conf-
dent in his team and the prog-
ress it has made over winter
break.Were plugging right
along and were defnitely doing
the things on a daily basis that
we have to do to be a great team.
I just believe that before you are
great you have to be consistently
good, Campbell said.
The swimming team will be in
action again when it faces Drury
on Jan. 27 in Lawrence.

DEFENSE
continued from page 1B
The Jayhawks snapped a
three-game losing streak with
the victory and their 13-3
record is the most wins by a
Kansas team since 1999.
Offensively, the Jayhawks
relied once again on Crys-
tal Kemp. After being named
the Big 12 Player of the Week
during both December and
January, she has consistently
drawn double-teams from op-
ponents.
Yesterday was no differ-
ent as the Cowgirls used a
2-3 zone defense to make
sure somebody was pushing
or bumping into Kemp at all
times.
Shes an awfully strong
kid, she can take that pretty
well, Henrickson said.
Last season Kemps scoring
average decreased during con-
ference play, but it has gone
up this year, and increased to
20 points per game after she
scored 25 yesterday.
The zone defense allowed
Kemp to find teammates open
for three-pointers after she
got the ball inside.
My teammates have done
a good job of letting me know
theyre open, Kemp said.
Ive become a better passer
out of the double team.
Henrickson watched her
team struggle early against
the zone, and after falling be-
hind 15-7 she called a time-
out. During the break, she re-
emphasized the lessons from
the weeks practices.
All this week in practice
we worked on the zone,
Hallman said. Once we got
the hang of what they were
trying to do, we executed.
The team wont have much
time to enjoy the victory.
Wednesday the Jayhawks
travel to Manhattan to take
on Kansas State, followed by
a Saturday road game against
defending national champion
Baylor.
Edited by Janiece Gatson
KEMP
continued from page 1B
Kemp scored her points on
only eight shots from the field
and a perfect nine-for-nine
mark from the free-throw
stripe.
She secured her sixth dou-
ble-double of the season two
minutes into the second half.
Despite the impressive
numbers, it wasnt anything
out of the ordinary for Kemp.
Just another performance
she has delivered on a regular
basis this season.
The Topeka native ranks in
the top 10 of several Big 12
Conference categories this
season, including scoring and
rebounding.
Kemp is second in the con-
ference in scoring, only two-
tenths of a point behind Bay-
lors Sophia Young, last years
most valuable player in the
Final Four.
Her performance this sea-
son, especially in conference
play, has sparked discussion
that this might be the best
stretch of Kemps career.
I would say so, Kemp
said.
