Kansas universities could have a shorter
school year as soon as fall 2009.
Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and stu-
dent body president, said she would submit
a proposal to the Board of Regents before its
next meeting asking to change the accredita-
tion policy that requires Kansas universities
to hold school for two 15-week semesters.
The Regents next meeting is March 12
and 13.
Love said that she thought academics were
important, but that students who worked
during the summer to pay for tuition would
benefit from having a shorter school year. She
also said a shorter school year would make
students more competitive for internships.
The Regents require universities to hold
school for 150 days each year. Love, members
of University and Faculty Senate, and other
students said they would like to see the policy
based on the number of hours or minutes
students spend in each class. The University
would not only have to convince the Regents
the policy should be changed, it would also
have to convince the other state universities
as well.
Eric Foss, Overland Park law student and
a member of Student Senate and University
Senate, said the Universitys school year was a
week longer than that of other schools in the
Big 12 and many schools in the nation.
When I was an undergrad, I was burnt
out by how long the semester was, Foss said.
He said if classes at the University were five
minutes longer, students would be attending
class for, overall, the same amount of time
they were now, but with a shorter semester.
Foss said such a change would throw the
schedule off because most classes would not
be able to start every hour on the hour, but
that he thought the University Registrar could
plan classes around the new schedule just as
easily as it planned the current schedule.
He also said he did not think most stu-
dents would care if they had to spend five
more minutes in class, but that they would
appreciate having a shorter semester.
Brittany Cohoon, Overland Park fresh-
man, said she wished she could spend five
more minutes in her math class each class
period. She said it was difficult for teachers
to complete their lessons in 50 minutes and
that a longer class period would give students
more time to complete tests.
And I wouldnt object to going home two
weeks early, Cohoon said.
Cohoon said she would also be inter-
ested in seeing the University lengthen spring
break. She said it would give out-of-state
students more time to visit their families.
She also said that the issue was of special
importance this year because Easter would be
during spring break.
Rick Levy, a law professor and the presi-
dent of Faculty Senate, said faculty members
supported the policy change as well, but he
did not think the Regents would consider the
change unless students initiated it.
If the faculty or the administration pushes
this at the Regents level, it appears to be self-
serving because it looks like we want to work
less, Levy said.
In addition, Levy stressed that the other
state universities would have to support the
policy change for the Regents to consider it.
If KU tries to push this as just a KU initia-
tive, it will fail, Levy said.
Love said she first discussed the policy
change with the other student body presi-
dents from Kansas universities last fall. She
said the general response from the presidents
and their universities was negative.
But, Love said she still thought the issue
was important and that she would encourage
Kansas States student body president, Matt
Wagner, to support the initiative during their
trip to Washington, D.C., for Day on the
Hill, which takes place March 10 and 11.
Because of this trip, Love will not be able to
attend the Regents meeting next month, but
she said she would send representatives.
Foss said if Love could convince the stu-
dent leaders of the states other universities
to support the policy this spring, the policy
could be changed during the summer. But
he said the schedule change could not be
implemented until the fall of 2009 because
the Registrar has already begun creating the
class timetable for the next school year.

Administrator could resign
after turning down bill
WASHINGTON Internal docu-

Protection Agency indicate staf
members believed Administrator
Stephen Johnson might have to
consider resigning if he turned
down Californias request to reduce
vehicle greenhouse gas emissions.
Johnson denied the waiver
request in December, blocking
California and at least 16 other
states from implementing the
reductions.
Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer
of California, who is investigat-
ing the decision, released new
transcripts from internal EPA docu-
ments Tuesday.
Among them is a staf memo
prepared for a senior ofcial in the
air quality divi-
sion to present
to Johnson. It
urged Johnson
to grant the
waiver or fnd
a compromise.
The memo
warns Johnson
that he has to fnd a way to get
this done, adding that if he could
not, he would face a decision
about whether to step down.

debate
Clinton, Obama
highlight diferences
CLEVELAND Hillary Rod-
ham Clinton and Barack Obama
clashed over NAFTA, health care
and the war in Iraq Tuesday
night in a crackling debate at
close quarters one week before
a pivotal group of primaries.
Charges of negative cam-
paign tactics were high on the
program, too.
Senator Obama has consis-
tently said I would force people
to have health care whether
they can aford it or not, said
Clinton, insisting it was not true.
Responding quickly, Obama
countered that former frst lady
had consistently claimed his
plan would leave 15 million
people out ... I dispute that. I
think it is inaccurate, he said.
Clinton also said as far as
she knew her campaign had
nothing to do with circulating a
photograph of Obama wearing
a white turban and a wrap-
around white robe presented to
him by elders in Wajir, in Kenya.
I take Senator Clinton at her
word that she knew nothing
about the photo, Obama said.
The two rivals, the only
survivors of a grueling primary
season, sat about a foot apart
at a table on stage at Cleveland
State University.
The race was far diferent in
April 2007, Clinton the front-run-
ner by far. Now Obama holds
that place, in terms of both
contests and delegates won.
The two rivals also debated
NAFTA, the free trade agree-
ment with Canada and Mexico
that is wildly unpopular with
blue-collar workers whose
votes are critical in any Demo-
cratic primary in Ohio.
Neither one said he or she
was ready to withdraw from the
agreement, although both said
they would use the threat of
withdrawal to pressure Mexico
to make changes.
On the war, both candidates
denounced President Bushs
record on Iraq, then restated
long-held disagreements over
which of them was more op-
posed.

WASHINGTON President
Bush predicted Monday that vot-
ers would replace him with a
Republican president who would
keep up the fight in Iraq.
Im confident well hold the
White House in 2008, Bush
told donors at the Republican
Governors Association annual
dinner, which raised a record
$10.6 million for GOP gubernato-
rial candidates.
Bush has promised to be an
active fundraiser, and had no trou-
ble slipping into enthusiastic cam-
paign mode Monday evening.
He said Republicans still offered
the bedrock positions that voters
embraced: strong defense, low taxes
and personal freedoms.
When I say Im confident, I
am so because I understand the
mentality of the American people,
Bush said. Theres no question in
my mind, with your help, 2008 is
going to be a great year.
Democratic governors have a 28-
22 edge nationally, having regained
a majority in 2006 after 12 years of
GOP dominance. Eleven seats are
up this year.
Democrats took control of
the House and Senate in 2006.
Republican governors, as chief
executives and effective fundrais-
ers, see themselves as the key to
turning around their party.

Celebrate EveryBODY Week is
bringing discounted food, positive
messages and
a comedian to
the University
of Kansas this
week to promote
healthy body
image among
students.
S t u d e n t
Health Services,
From The
Inside Out and H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E.,
organizations that focus on body
image and health, are sponsor-
ing Celebrate EveryBODY Week to
target eating disorders.
Of people with eating disorders,
95 percent are younger than 25,
according to the National Institute
of Mental Health.
Events throughout the week
will target eating disorders such
as anorexia and bulimia, as well
as abnormal eating habits such as
restrictive dieting and binging and
purging.
Mai Do,
m a r k e t i n g
c o o r d i n a -
tor for Student
Health Services,
said the weeks
events, which
coincided with
National Eating
D i s o r d e r s
A w a r e n e s s
Week, would be
aimed at help-
ing students develop a healthy life-
style.
We try to focus on body accep-
tance a positive rather than a
negative, Do said.
Ann Chapman, coordinator of
nutritional services at Watkins
Memorial Health Center, said
Celebrate EveryBODY Week was
an important event for raising
awareness about the prevalence of
eating disorders.
The statistics are staggering,
Chapman said.
The NIMH
estimates that
20 percent of
women struggle
with an eat-
ing disorder or
abnormal eating
habits.
Of the 24 mil-
lion Americans
battling an eat-
ing disorder, up to 15 percent are
male.
Chapman said that obsession
with food and overeating also qual-
ified as eating disorders.
Lindsey Hirschorn, Overland
Park junior and president of From
The Inside Out, said negative body
image was also a significant issue
on campus.
If you sit in the girls bathroom
for 10 minutes, you will not hear
one positive thing said, Hirschorn
said.
From The Inside Out aimed
to encourage a
more positive
body image by
helping to tape
positive mes-
sages onto mir-
rors in pub-
lic restrooms
around campus
on Monday, she
said.
Other events
planned for
Celebrate EveryBODY Week
include bringing Stacey Prussman,
a comedian who has struggled with
an eating disorder, to campus to
talk to students.
Hirschorn said Prussmans
experience with an eating disorder
would be eye-opening for many
students.
Better Bites entres, available in
cafeterias across campus, will also
be provided at a 20 to 25 percent
discount for lunch on Thursday,
Chapman said. BetterBites entres
have fewer calories and less fat
than many other food options on
campus.
Hirschorn said events such as
these were important for KU stu-
dents.
Theres a huge need for things
like this on college campuses,
Hirschorn said. Its a place where
eating disorders run wild.
Stacey Prussman will speak at
7 tonight in the Kansas Union
Ballroom and will be available
afterward to answer student ques-
tions.

Change of venue sought in trial
Sect leader to face charges as an accomplice to rape
BY AMANDA LEE MYERS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX Polygamist sect
leader Warren Jeffs was handed
over to Arizona authorities Tuesday
to face charges alleging he arranged
the marriages of two teenage girls
to older men.
Deputies from the Mohave
County Sheriff s Office took cus-
tody of Jeffs from Utah officials,
sheriff s spokeswoman Trish Carter
said.
Jeffs, 52, the former leader of
the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, is sched-
uled to appear in court to enter a
plea Wednesday in Kingman, Ariz.
He is charged as an accomplice
with four counts of incest and four
counts of sexual contact with a
minor in an indictment.
Defense attorney Mike Piccarreta
plans to ask the judge for a change
of venue, saying Kingman is too
close to St. George, Utah, the site of
Jeffs first trial, for him to get a fair
trial here.
If people want to give Mr. Jeffs
a fair trial, we have to hold it in an
area as far away as practical from
the other case in Utah, he said.
Mohave County Attorney Matt
Smith said the trial, which will be
months from now, should be held
in Mohave County because thats
where the alleged crimes occurred.
Jeffs was arrested in August 2006
in Nevada and was convicted last
year in Utah of rape as an accom-
plice in the arranged marriage of a
14-year-old girl and her 19-year-old
cousin.
The mainstream Mormon
church, The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints, renounced
polygamy more than a century ago.

Brazilian doctors remove
cyst from Naomi Campbell
SAO PAULO, Brazil Naomi
Campbell was hospitalized in Sao
Paulo for the removal of a small
cyst, her publicist, Jef Raymond,
said.
The 37-year-old British su-
permodel, a frequent visitor to
Brazil, was treated at Sirio Libanes
Hospital.
Following the successful pro-
cedure, she is now resting and is
looking forward to getting back to
work. She would like to thank the
doctors who have kindly looked
after her, her publicist said in a
statement Tuesday.
Dr. Jose Aristodemo Pinotti, a
gynecologist, told The Associated
Press by telephone that Campbell
underwent abdominal surgery.
I cannot reveal what Naomi
had, nor how serious her condition
was, but I can say I operated on her
yesterday, that everything went
smoothly and that she is complete-
ly cured and walking in her room,
Pinotti said.

Commentary
You really blew it this time, world-
wide media. What you did (or didnt
do) is deplorable.
Shame on you, Fox News.
Nice going, CNN.
Pathetic, Current.tv.
Not even an inch of print, The
Economist? None of these respect-
ed media giants ran with the most
inspiring news story of our genera-
tion. This particular story symbol-
ized a defiant victory for the average
American, a triumphant fist in the
air for our blue-collar, beer-swilling
country.
Im referring to the Uno the
Beagles cataclysmic Best-Of-
Show performance at this years
Westminster Dog Show, of course.
Sure, theres been some serious
press devoted to the story already,
but I chalk that up to the hegemonic
power of the American Kennel Club.
Imagine if the Chicago Cubs won
the World Series this year. The stack
of the press clippings would outweigh
an average Leon Uris novel.
Although the Cubs Series drought
often is exemplified as one of the lon-
gest-lasting losing streaks of our era,
a beagle hadnt won the nations top
dog show in more than 130 years.
The last time a beagle won, you
couldnt get on the phone to tell your
friends because the phone wasnt
invented yet. The President? Ulysses
S. Grant. The favored mode of trans-
portation? Horse.
Id like to take a moment to lam-
bast the media outlets that havent
covered this wonderful story with
enough scope, perspective or intel-
ligence.
When Uno trotted onto that
Astroturf, innumerable odds stood
between him and this great honor.
The skeletal glare of the poodles,
both Toy and Standard breeds, judge-
mentally traced Unos steps.
However, none of this mattered to
Uno, who flippantly shed the shack-
les of beagledom.
Also, he bayed at the judge, a clear
shoutout to his like-minded beagle
homies across our nation.
I realize theres a war on, and
due journalistic diligence should be
pointed in that direction.
Thats fine with me.
Also, I know this nation of corpo-
rate-merger housewives and Miley
Cyrus-deifying adolescent girls crave
their Britney fixes, and Ill even grant
that.
But America witnessed the birth
of a great hero that can lead us into
our next golden age, a hero that can
relate with the masses. He can take
sprawling leaps at catered steaks one
moment and win a giant purple rib-
bon the next.
Is there anything this dog cant
do? No.
The tide of the future relies on this
brown-headed pooch, who, without
any need for argument, is the greatest
single life form to ever come out of
Missouri.
How do I know that?
Uno received a standing ovation
at Madison Square Garden, some-
thing that hasnt happened much
since Willis Reed hung em up.
This demonstration of arena-wide
approval exhibits the magnetism this
hound has. Charisma you cant
just wave a doggie biscuit over a wet
nose and get charisma.
Youve probably seen Uno while
scanning through most mainstream
newspapers, broad-interest maga-
zines and watching the last 10 min-
utes of your local news.
Thats not enough. We need to
lionize this canine to an extent where
we can finally replace the word lion-
ize with a superior dog equivalent.
Uno-ize or creation of the verb to
beagle are my suggestions.
In the future, when I see a hero
do something great, I want it to be
covered in every conceivable fashion.
Until the future comes where we all
will have TiVo-like newspapers that
filter out the stuff we dont want to
read (i.e. any story about Bono), we
must rely on the media stream to
cover the important issues.
I would call this Uno business the
quintessential important issue.
A hound dog, a veritable every-
man, came to New York City and
clobbered the competition.
Imagine if your dad won the
Masters. Thats what this is like.
Plus, hes way cooler than
Barbaro.

I awaken. I open a new stick of
deodorant. The top of the deodorant
stick reads, Go all in!
Im sorry, but the last place I look
for advice is from my deodorant, espe-
cially since it is applied to underarms,
the butt crack or the torso.
It saddens me that people forge
their lifestyles from phrases like this
one that are created by an advertis-
ers. It is almost to the liking of taking
advice from a cracked-out bum.
You dont need no school, all you
need is some rocks and some porn.
You wanna buy some porn? Itll make
you famous.
Usually wisdom found in power
words or phrases put together by
advertising teams or cracked out bums
really isnt all that great of advice.
If it were advice that actually made
sense, I probably would take it.
If the top of my deodorant read,
You wont stink! I would be like
Wow, that is true. Thank you, deodor-
ant stick.
What am I supposed to go all in on
anyway? What if going all in led to my
untimely death? Id be angry, yet no
one would ever know.
How sad.
Ive grown weary watching my
peers create mantras inspired by an
advertisements catch phrase.
Yes, we all are susceptible to adver-
tising. There are signs everywhere tell-
ing us what to wear, drink, eat, smell
like, look like, taste like and feel like.
Ive seen it all.
Theres a sign for every product.
I once saw a coupon for douches. I
almost bought them but then remem-
bered that I dont have a vagina.
We dont think to be careful not
to center our lives on something
that has a main goal of taking our
money. If taking it to the extreme
is what a group of people wants,
for it. I can only pray they dont
make such a decision based off a
Mountain Dew commercial.
I implore my peers to research
culture, read a damn book (gasp).
Dont buy your lifestyle. Find it the
way people did before our genera-
tion through learning.
Understanding your belief sys-
tems ultimately forces you to re-
evaluate them.
If consumer culture created
your belief system, the only thing
that will be revised are the prod-
ucts that clutter your home.
Im going to start taking my
deodorants advice and go all in.
Now wheres that cracked out
bum? Poppa needs some porn.

Clicker system passes students; fails in its basic function
Despite classroom efficency, students test grades too important to be risked by uncertain system
The adage, If you play with fire,
you're gonna get burned seems
to have recently struck the CPS
Clicker system at Budig Hall. Last
week, lecturer Nancy Holcroft was
forced to assign 100 percent grades
to every student taking a test in her
Biology 100 class after the clicker
system being used to administer
the test failed to record the answers
students were sending in. In this
case it appears a problem arose with
the lecturer's computer, though nei-
ther the company nor the University
has identified a specific cause, eight
school days after the incident.
Susan M. Zvacek, director of
Instructional Development &
Support, said that the clicker sys-
tem is usually very reliable and
her department had never before
run into a problem such as last
Mondays. Although the system is
mainly used for small quizzes, atten-
dance or class interaction, IDS does
not recommend using the system
for high-stakes testing situations.
It appears technology will continue
to be integrated even more tightly
into the class experience, but this
raises a question: Is this integration
necessarily positive or reliable?
eInstruction president Steve
Kaye visited the campus Tuesday,
meeting with professors and IT staff
and finally assembling a company
task force to investigate the prob-
lem. He assured that the University
would be updated within 24 to 48
hours, though he offered no spe-
cific details as to the cause of the
problem.
The greatest concern that has
emerged is that the clicker system
is too complex to be technically
supported on campus, forcing the
University to rely on a third-party
company. It is positive that the com-
pany has taken steps to resolve these
problems and communicated with
University officials.
These good intentions still have
not moved the University any closer
to resolving the issue, and if pro-
fessors are going to rely on this
system to administer tests or other
high-stakes usages, more high-level
technical support needs to be avail-
able on campus.
Technology like the CPS click-
er system provides some obvious
benefits over traditional class inter-
action and test making methods,
especially in large classes. It facili-
tates direct anonymous response to
questions a professor might want to
ask, and allows this information to
be displayed instantly.
But convenience aside, the real
question appears to be whether
these platforms are ready for a test-
taking environment, where time and
grades are critical. Judging by the
information available in research-
ing the clicker system, it is not at
least in its current form.
Scantron surely has its share of
issues as well, but the real issue
is that as technology allows more
advanced functions, it becomes
more complex and therefore less
reliable. Malfunctions with student
or teacher hardware could cause a
delay, forcing a reschedule or even a
loss of all information, as happened
last week.
Kaye said his company does thor-
ough quality assurance testing on all
its products and that a combination
of unforeseen circumstances had
converged to cause this problem.
There are hundreds of different
types of computers in use today,
thousands of peripherals, count-
less configuration options and two
major operating systems with five
or more versions in use and all of
this could cause problems. Basically,
the clicker system has to be more
complex in order to do what it does
best and this is where unreliability
comes from.
Currently then, the clicker sys-
tem is thus inappropriate for testing
situations. This is not to say that
one day in the future this will not be
possible. It will simply require more
robust measures to address the com-
plexity of the technology. According
to Zaveck and Kaye, new training
measures and software changes will
be integrated to improve reliability.
The clicker system relies on com-
plex technologies to offer what it
does, meaning that in order for
someone to fix it he or she will need
a technical understanding of the
system. Kaye said that eInstruction
provides a comprehensive training
program, but it mainly consists of
how to setup a classs roster or
connect the equipment. As this cir-
cumstance has indicated, the clicker
system is far more complex than
this. When being used for testing,
it is important it have a very high
reliability rate. The system is com-
plex and no one is available on
campus that can provide high-level
support.
If its the Universitys goal to
use the clickers for such impor-
tant tasks, on-campus support and
increased robustness in the clicker
software would be required.

NY orchestra helps mend
U.S. ties with North Korea
PYONGYANG, North Korea
The New York Philharmonics
unprecedented concert could her-
ald warmer ties between North
Korea and the United States. After
three encores, some musicians

ence waved fondly.
Between horn fanfares and
the fourishes of the conductors
baton, the U.S. and North Korea
found common ground in a
concert Tuesday that spanned
American and Korean musical
traditions.
Whether the feeling lingers
after the music will depend on the
Norths compliance with an inter-

weapons.
After the New York Philhar-
monic played the last notes of the
folk song Arirang, the adoring

Michael Barringer-Mills inter-
est in pursuing a career in humani-
tarian work started innocently
enough with a college course on
the history of
the Holocaust.
Ba r r i nge r -
Mills said he
was a junior at
the University
of Kansas when
he learned the
background of
genocide and
the parallels
with the human-
itarian catastro-
phes in the former Yugoslavia and
Rwanda in the early 90s. This rev-
elation made him consider oppor-
tunities to stop human suffering.
It really struck a chord with
me, Barringer-Mills said. I was
really inspired to do that kind of
work as a KU undergrad. It just
took me a few years to figure out
how to do that.
After graduating from the
U n i v e r s i t y
in 1997 with
a bachelors
degree in history,
Barringer-Mills
said he bounced
from job to
job. He eventu-
ally worked in
construction in
Minnesota, but
his dream of
helping others
wasnt over. As
it turned out, his experience in
construction helped him land a
logistical position with the interna-
tional humanitarian organization
Doctors Without Borders.
I felt I had been working for
a few years and was interested in
the idea of engaging in a wider
world, Barringer-Mills said. That
was something that had been a goal
of mine before graduating from
undergrad. To me, it felt like a now
or never type of thing because I
finally had the skills necessary.
Monday evening, Barringer-
Mills spoke to students about his
experiences in Doctors Without
Borders in his lecture, Mdicins
Sans Frontires and Shrinking
Humanitarian Space, and dis-
cussed the health care situations in
developing countries he visited.
Humanities and Western
Civilization director James Woelfel
and his wife, Sarah Trulove, trav-
eled abroad with Barringer-Mills
when he was a student. Woelfel
said he and his wife saw Barringer-
Mills fascination with finding out
more about the world and his place
in the world.
We both saw, in him, a very
bright, well-informed, question-
ing and searching sort of person,
Woelfel said.
Barringer-Mills said Woelfel and
Trulove were integral in bringing
him back to visit the University.
After decid-
ing to pursue
humani t ar i an
work, Barringer-
Mills researched
or gani zat i ons
such as the
Peace Corps,
Red Cross
and Doctors
Without Borders
on the Internet.
He eventu-
ally settled on Doctors Without
Borders because of the complex-
ity and importance of the work
the organization undertakes in
countries with unique situations,
internal conflict and, many times,
civil war.
Barringer-Mills began his
Doctors Without Borders career in
2004 as a logistician in Darfur, and
has also served in Sudan, Congo,
Uganda and
Nigeria. His
duties included
c o or di nat i ng
supplies for the
organization in
Sudan, coordi-
nating a vac-
cination cam-
paign during a
meningitis out-
break in north-
ern Nigeria and
serving as a 72-
bed trauma center director in the
midst of urban violence in the
Niger Delta in Nigeria.
I think we are in a unique posi-
tion to get to places where nobody
else is, he said. Frequently we are
the only ones around so we are able
to make a real, physical and imme-
diate difference in the lives of our
patients.
Barringer-Mills said that work-
ing in such volatile situations could
be dangerous, but that Doctors
Without Borders relies on impartial
treatment and steadfast neutral-
ity to avoid violent conflict among
warring factions. Doctors Without
Borders workers are unarmed and
are not accompanied by guards,
he said.
Barringer-Mills said one of
the most dangerous situations he
had experienced was during his
time in the Niger Delta when the
urban violence surrounding them
restrained the organizations ability
to exit their compound.
The danger was in traveling,
he said. Nobody can anticipate a
stray bullet. We had to stay within
the confines of our hospital for
four days. Our biggest concern,
frankly, was not for our own safety
than it was for the ability of our
patients to reach us.
Barringer-Mills said the
demands of working in the field
with Doctors Without Borders
attracted committed health profes-
sionals and humanitarian workers
from all over the globe. He said he
met his wife while working with
the organization.
Barringer-Mills is attending
graduate school at the University
of Minnesota, with plans to return
to work with Doctors Without
Borders upon graduation.
He said that although he had to
take breaks from the field to stay
motivated, his previous work with
Doctors Without Borders and the
work that he will do in the future
continued to motivate him to help
others.
Its work that I really believe
matters, he said. It makes a con-
crete, real difference in peoples
lives.

Cleveland traded Drew Gooden to
Chicago on the NBAs trading deadline last
week. By most accounts, his inclusion in
the trade was as much attributable to bal-
ancing salaries as it was to the Bulls actu-
ally wanting him. His mental lapses and
defensive inadequacies had grown to the
point that the Cavaliers felt that they had
to give him away in a trade. They acquired
an increasingly ineffective center who has
a terrible contract and cant play offense
(Ben Wallace) and a vastly overpaid wing
who can shoot and do nothing else (Wally
Sczerbiak). Most NBA experts believed
Cleveland upgraded at the power forward
position simply by getting Chicago to toss
Joe Smith into the deal.
For me, this further increases the dis-
appointment of current Jayhawks in the
NBA. We have one of the premier pro-
grams in college basketball, but only one
player who is currently a key player on a
good NBA team. And even Paul Pierce
was merely a good player on a terrible
team until Boston imported Ray Allen and
Kevin Garnett before the season.
Is anyone else slightly disappointed?
My buddy C.J., a former Kansan sports
columnist, is a huge basketball fan and
Jayhawk fanatic. As a Kansas native with-
out a local NBA squad to support, he roots
for teams based on former Jayhawks that
the franchise employs. He has been a Bulls
advocate for the last few years because of
Kirk Hinrich and he has also rooted for the
Celtics because of Pierce.
I am from Minnesota and therefore am
a diehard Timberwolves fan. Because my
team decided to trade Garnett before the
season and tank to acquire a high draft
pick, I knew I had to root for losses for the
good of the team. So I decided to try a form
of the C.J. Method of NBA fandom.
Instead of rooting for teams, which
would have amounted to sports bigamy and
a form of cheating on my Timberwolves,
I threw my allegiances behind Hinrich,
Pierce, Gooden, Nick Collison, Raef
LaFrentz, Scot Pollard, Jacque Vaughn,
Wayne Simien and Julian Wright.
What a disappointing year it has been
for C.J. and me.
Outside of Pierce and the Celtics, it
hasnt been pretty. And if the T-Wolves
havent been stupid enough to botch KGs
prime by surrounding him with mediocre
players before giving him away bargain-
style, it would be a lost season for Jayhawk
NBA fans.
Cleveland has grown tired of Gooden and
it is far from certain that he will fit in with the
defensive-minded Bulls. Hinrich has inex-
plicably turned into a below average player
on the NBAs most disappointing team. His
points per game are at their lowest since his
rookie year, his assist numbers are the lowest
of his career and his outside shooting has
been bad, 32 percent from beyond the arc, by
far the worst of his career.
The rest is merely mediocrity, or worse:
Nick Collison is a decent backup post player
on one of the NBAs worst teams, Seattle,
and hasnt shown many signs of being able
to turn the corner into a good starter.
LaFrentz showed evidence early in his
career with Denver that he could be devel-
oped into an All-Star player, but injuries
robbed him of his athleticism and stamina
and he hasnt been an effective player in six
years. The former Jayhawk star hasnt seen
the court much as an oft-hurt backup center
on Portland the last two years.
Vaughn and Pollard are longtime
backups. Pollard, an NBA journeyman,
cheers Pierce on from the bench with
the Celtics. Nobody knows what kind of
player Julian Wright will turn into, but
he will have to significantly improve his
shooting and ball-handling to turn into
an effective player. Simien was released by
the Timberwolves, the second-worst team
in the league, after being a throw-in on a
trade from Miami right before the season
started. He is unemployed and his NBA
future looks bleak.
I doubt this trend will reverse soon.
The odds seem high that Darrell Arthur,
Brandon Rush, Sherron Collins and other
NBA hopefuls on the Jayhawk roster will
eventually become nothing more than
role players in The League. Until Bill
Self starts heavily recruiting those one
and done type prospects such as Kevin
Durant, Greg Oden or Michael Beasley, I
would expect that to continue.
I suppose it is selfish to be disappointed
in the current crop of professionals. We
do, after all, have Pierce and the Celtics to
root for. Boston is 43-12; the best record
in the NBA.
But I cant help but feel a bit of indigna-
tion that the other Jayhawks havent come
through in my time of need. With Hinrich
and Goodens regressions, Wrights inabil-
ity to crack the Hornets rotation, and the
others mediocrity, it has been a long year
for Jayhawk NBA fans.
Hawk Nation now has only one hope
for its professional basketball fix: a lengthy
playoff run by the Celtics that pushes
Pierce further into the NBA spotlight.

The sunny weather hasnt followed Kansas
home from Hawaii. However, the Jayhawks
will consider it an even trade, so long as their
poor play doesnt carry over from the Big
Island to the mainland.
After losing a series with Hawaii-Hilo for
the first time in program history over the
weekend, Kansas (2-3) heads to SEC country
today for a midweek clash with Arkansas
(3-0). The undefeated and uncharacteristi-
cally unranked Razorbacks reached the NCAA
tournament last season, hosting a regional,
which has added even more luster to Kansas
match up with the SEC powerhouse for.
Thats a huge RPI game any time you get
to play an SEC game, coach Ritch Price said.
Weve been there four times since Ive been
here and weve lost (two) one-run games.
That has Kansas looking for a bit of pay-
back. One of those one-run losses came last
season during a three-game Arkansas sweep.
Of course, Kansas has had some bad luck with
one-run games more recently.
In the process of losing three of five games
to Hawaii-Hilo to open its season, Kansas suf-
fered two one-run, extra-inning losses.
Obviously were extremely disappointed in
the win-loss record coming home, but every-
thing we didnt do well we can fix, Price said.
Kansas had 40 strikeouts and 10 errors in
the series, so the Jayhawks will need to find
quick fixes to hang with the Razorbacks.
However, after a 16-4 shellacking of the
Vulcans in game five, the Jayhawks may have
started hitting their stride. Most notably, junior
first baseman Preston Land capped off his
weekend with a 2-for-3 performance, scoring
two runs and hitting a three-run home run.
Looking to keep the Kansas bats cool will be
Arkansas freshman right-hander James Mahler
(0-0). Mahler pitched 1.1 innings of relief in
Arkansas three-game sweep of Wright State
over the weekend, allowing four runs on five
hits and a walk, and striking out none.
Arkansas outscored Wright State 21-11 in
the series with the help of junior third baseman
Logan Forsythe, freshman first baseman Andy
Wilkins and senior outfielder Aaron Murphree.
Forsythe hit .500 in the series and led the team
with five runs. Wilkins and Murphree each
hit a home run and knocked in six runs as
Murphree led the team with a .600 average.
Kansas sophomore left-hander Wally
Marciel (1-0) will try to harness the Arkansas
offense after a strong start on Friday. Throwing
on a pitch count to make sure hed be fresh for
today, Marciel struck out four in six innings,
allowing just one run. Today will mark Marciels
first start in an SEC venue, but the youngest
starter in Kansas rotation isnt intimidated.
The SEC has a lot of good teams and
Arkansas is a very good team, Marciel said. I
watched them, I didnt get to pitch against them
last year, but hopefully Ill have a good game
against them and just show them a new thing.

The starters gun for the marathon that is
a college basketball season went off on Nov.
11 for Kansas.
Now the Jayhawks are in a dead sprint
to the finish line as they
wrap up their regu-
lar season with three
games in the next eight
days. The first of those
three is tonights clash
with Texas at 7 in Allen
Fieldhouse.
After losing two games
in a row to the 11th and
12th place teams in the
conference (Texas Tech
and Missouri), Kansas
has a laundry list of
problems to fix before the game.
Weve got to limit our turnovers and do
the small things that really matter, sopho-
more guard Danielle McCray said.
Senior forward Taylor McIntosh added,
Around this time of year defense is win-
ning games because the competition steps
up. Its important for us to stay focused
defensively and let our offense come to us.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson admitted that
turnovers had been a problem for her team,
win or lose, all year. She said she was more
disappointed in Kansas lackluster defense,
particularly to start the second half.
In the last two games, the Jayhawks
opponents used runs of 12-2 and 18-4 out
of halftime to either erase or lengthen leads.
What Henrickson cant figure out is why
her team continues to come out flat.
Thats the million-dollar question; thats
the one thats been
agonizing the staff all
year, Henrickson said.
Unfortunately I dont
have an answer and I
dont think these kids
have an answer, either,
but its something weve
got to fix right away.
Its not all bad news
for the Jayhawks. They
only lost by three in
Columbia, Mo., with
freshman center
Krysten Boogaard accounting for just six
points. The colossal Canadian wont get
shut out like that at home, and backup point
guard LaChelda Jacobs tends to play better
against teams from her home state, Texas.
This has been one of the most competi-
tive seasons in Big 12 history, according to
Henrickson, and its inevitable end means it
is gut check time for every team.
That mentality has been passed down to
her players, who, despite the recent setbacks,
understand whats still ahead of them.
The reality is that we still have a chance
to reach our goals, McCray said.
Everyone knows whats at stake right
now, McIntosh said. We need to just play
as hard as we can in these last few games in
hopes of going to the tournament.

NBA-level Jayhawks
not seeing success
Former players dont fare well as professionals

Lacie Reed does her little brothers laun-
dry. Sure, she wants to be a good older sis-
ter, but Lacie, Burlington sophomore, isnt
exactly doing it for free.
Lacie and younger brother Tyrel have a
deal.
We trade laundry for food, Tyrel said.
Tyrel brings his older sister a mountain of
dirty of laundry, and in exchange, he takes his
sister out to eat.
Older sister washes and younger brother
pays. Sometimes its Subway, sometimes its
Quiznos, or any other sandwich shop they
havent tired of.
Something fast, Tyrel said. When youre
Tyrel Reed and youre a freshman guard for
the No. 6-ranked college basketball team, you
dont have a lot of spare time to enjoy a sit-
down lunch with your older sister. Especially
when your sister is a sophomore student
manager for the team and holds down a
schedule almost as busy as yours.
Its not hard to tell that Tyrel and Lacie
Reed are related. Tyrel, with his 6-foot-3-
inch frame, towers above his sister. And you
wont mistake Lacies blonde hair with Tyrels
patch of closely cropped brown hair. But put
the two in the same room and people can
just tell.
I get the twin thing a lot, Lacie said. We
have a lot of the same mannerisms.
Walk into Allen Fieldhouse an hour before
a Kansas basketball game, and you can see
examples of those mannerisms.
Tyrel is the one on the floor in the No. 14
jersey, shooting jump shots, and Lacie is the
one sitting on the sideline, supervising the
games ball boys.
I do behind-the-
scenes type of stuff,
Lacie said.
But spending time in
the gym together is noth-
ing new for the Reed
siblings. Theyve been
doing it their whole lives.
The ball, the basket, the
wood floor thats just
who the Reeds are.
Its not that Tyrel
and Lacie have trouble
remembering their child-
hoods. Thats easy. But ask them about the
memories that dont involve a round leather
ball and an iron rim, and it gets a little
tougher.
It seems to always come back to basket-
ball, Tyrel said.
Growing up in Eureka, the daily routine
was pretty simple. Go to the elementary
school where their mother, Debbie, taught;
hang out in the gym after school and play
basketball; then, head to the Eureka High
School teams practice where their dad, Stacy,
coached.
Stacy Reed coached at Eureka High School
for 14 years and at nearly every practice, Tyrel
and Lacie occupied the sideline.
You know as a coach that youre not
going to have as much home time during the
season, Stacy Reed said. So that time in the
gym had to make up for
that.
Sometimes the Reeds
would take a break from
watching practice and
play one-on-one.
Third and fourth
grade it was very com-
petitive, because I was
still taller than he was,
Lacie said.
Tyrel then hit a growth
spurt during the fifth
grade.
Then it wasnt as fun to play, she said.
If theres one place Tyrel pays the price
for having his sister as a team manager, its at
practice. His teammates, well, they cant help
themselves.
We always joke with him, freshman cen-
ter Cole Aldrich said. Tyrel, wheres your
sister at?
If Aldrich is comfortable making jokes at
all in the family
Jon Goering/KANSAN
Tyrel Reed, freshman guard, and his sister Lacie, Burlington sophomore and mens basketball student manager, have more than just a last name in common. basketball
has run in the reed family. Lacie played in her younger years until a knee injury took her out of the game and their father, stacy, coached basketball while tyrel played in high school.
Like brother, like sister

fnish NFL Combine tryouts
Two former Jayhawks completed
NFL Combine workouts this week.
Cornerback Aqib Talib fared well
across the board.
Talib fnished in
the top three at
his position in
the vertical jump,
broad jump and
three-cone drill,
and clocked a
4.47 second 40-yard
dash. Talib weighed
in at 202 pounds and was just over
6-foot, making him the second-tall-
est and ffth-heaviest cornerback in
the 2008 draft class.
Defensive tackle James McClin-
ton didnt fnd as much success as
Talib. McClinton performed just 23
bench press repetitions and ran his
40-yard dash in 5.49 seconds, more
than a second slower than the top

ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON All-Star center
Yao Ming is out for the season
with a stress fracture in his left
foot, a stunning blow to the surging
Houston Rockets.
General manager Daryl Morey
made the announcement Tuesday,
hours before the Rockets put their
12-game winning streak on the line
against the Washington Wizards.
Yao was having a terrific sea-
son, averaging 22 points and 10.8
rebounds per game.
It is not an injury we feel he can
play with, Rockets team doctor
Tom Clanton said. Ive made the
recommendation that it be treated
surgically and we are working with
him to get other opinions just to
be certain that that is indeed what
should be done.
If Yao chooses surgery, Clanton
said, it would involve placing screws
across the bone to hold it together.
The second option would be to
treat it with a cast and crutches.
Both options involve a healing time
of about four months.
Clanton would not say when
Yao could play again, but said he
didnt expect the center to miss the
Beijing Olympics in August.
Morey told the team before
Tuesdays shootaround and added
that he didnt believe the injury
compromised Houstons playoff
hopes. The Rockets were 36-20
entering Tuesdays game.
Weve been playing exceptional
ball and Yaos been a huge part of
that, Morey said. We feel very con-
fident about our playoff push. Weve
managed to step up and play well
without Yao in the past and coaches
and players feel confident that were
going to continue to play well and
make the playoffs this year.
Morey acknowledged that it was
difficult news to receive when the
team has been playing so well.
Its a pretty big swing from a
high to a low, with how we were
playing, Morey said. We feel like
our supporting cast is superior to
when we played without Yao in the
past. We remain ready for the chal-
lenge ahead.
Clanton said there was no spe-
cific event that led to the injury, but
rather an accumulation of stresses
on the bone. Yao first experienced
soreness and pain in his ankle
before the All-Star game and tests
were done Monday.
This is Yaos fourth major injury
in the last two years. He missed 32
games last season with a fracture in
his right leg and 21 games in late 2006
with a toe infection that required sur-
gery. He missed four games in April
2006 after breaking his foot.
Houston went 20-12 when Yao
was injured last season.

Kansas Vs. Texas, 7 p.m. , allen fieldhouse
longhorns visit Jayhawks
Strong fnish could help a postseason bid for Kansas
Can Kansas answer a Texas
run in the second half?
Coming out of halftime fat
has been the kiss of death for
the Jayhawks lately. Its the
reason both Missouri and Texas
Tech opened up large leads late
in the game. Not only is it crush-
ing for Kansas to see its opposi-
tion score at will for a period of
fve to eight minutes, but it also
has a lasting efect on its play
the rest of the game, too. Itll be
interesting to see how Hen-
ricksons team performs in the
frst four to six minutes of the
second half. That period of time,
more than any other stretch in
the game, will give an indica-
tion as to whether the Jayhawks
can come out with a win.
Last week Kansas was on
fre and playing for a possible
NCAA berth. Fast-forward
seven days and the Jayhawks
are losers of two in a row to the
two worst teams in the Big 12.
Their road woes are something
to behold as theyre now 0-7 in
conference games away from
Allen Fieldhouse. There is still
a chance for Kansas to impress
the selection committee, but
right now its about putting
those losses behind them. No
one likes to end another teams
10-game losing streak (Mis-
souri), and the Jayhawks should
be eager to get that taste out of
their mouths.
McIntosh
Can Texas force Kansas to
continue to turn the ball over
20 times per contest?
On the season, Texas is
forcing opponents into 20.1
turnovers per game. That
number is right in line with the
Jayhawks turnover average,
and if the Longhorns can play
to their potential defensively,
they shouldnt have a problem
dispatching their struggling op-
ponent. Raven and Cortijo will
play critical roles defensively as
Kansas perimeter players can be
bullied into making question-
able passes.
The Longhorns are in exactly
the same Big 12 position as the
Jayhawks, at 4-9, and neither
team is showing many signs of
progress as of late. Coach Gail
Goestenkors will eventually get
things turned around in Texas,
but it has been a tough year for
her team. But Longhorn fans
shouldnt be concerned, be-
cause Goestenkors has the third
highest winning percentage in
NCAA womens basketball his-
tory among active coaches.
Cortijo
Danielle McCray, 5-foot-11 sophomore guard
14.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg
McCray went to another level in the second half
on Sunday; too bad she needed to go up a couple
of levels. McCrays stellar play for about fve straight
possessions late in the game wasnt enough to
make up for the entire teams uninspired play.
Krysten Boogaard, 6-foot-5 freshman center
9.7 ppg, 5.7 rpg
Boogaard had a heck of a time trying to get posi-
tion against the Missouri defense and never re-
ally found her groove. Despite the defensive
pressure down low, the Kansas guards kept
feeding her the ball and it led to several of
the teams 19 turnovers.
Taylor McIn-
tosh, 5-foot-11
senior forward
6.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg
With just three games left in her career
at Kansas, McIntosh should start playing
every game like its her last because
thats not far from the truth. She plays
some of the best defense on the
team and a couple of those big
blocks would be huge for mo-
mentum against Texas.
Brittainey Raven, 6-foot-0 sophomore guard
15.1 ppg, 4.7 rpg
After having so much trouble guarding Alyssa Hol-
lins Sunday, Raven could have a similar performance
against the Jayhawks. She doesnt shoot the three
nearly as well as Hollins does, but Raven is a physi-
cal perimeter player who is shooting more than fve
free throws per contest. Texas chances will hinge on
whether Raven can get into the paint and fnish.
Ashley Lindsey, 6-foot-4 junior forward
11.6 ppg, 6.9 rpg
Lindsey is having a productive season, and her
numbers are even higher in Big 12 Conference play.
What is so surprising about her production
in the post is that the talented junior
has only 32 free throw attempts in 27
games. That number is extremely low,
but by shooting better than 50 percent from
the feld she makes up for that shortcoming.
Carla Cortijo, 5-foot-7 junior guard
9.6 ppg, 4.7 apg
Kansas will have to be sure to limit
Cortijos freedom with the ball because
if she gets free, Raven and Lindsey
will get plenty of open looks. If the
Jayhawks can force her to make
mistakes (she has 128 assists to
96 turnovers), the Longhorns will
be in for a long night. Cortijo
doesnt make a high percentage
of her shots from the feld, but
she gets to the
free-throw line,
and quick guards
have troubled
Kansas in the past.

Tyrels expense, it may be because he
knows him so well.
Aldrich is Tyrels roommate, and
hes seen a different side of his fellow
freshman the side most people
dont see.
Most people know the quiet Tyrel,
the polite Tyrel, the determined gym
rat whos dedicated his life to bas-
ketball.
But Aldrich said Tyrel had anoth-
er side.
Hes like a little kid who once in
a while has too much sugar, Aldrich
said. Ill be like, Tyrel, just calm
down, Im going to bed pretty soon
just mellow out.
That side of Tyrel didnt always
show up when the Reeds were grow-
ing up in Eureka, or when the fam-
ily moved to Burlington before Tyrel
entered high school, Stacy Reed said.
Tyrel is more of an introvert,
Stacy said.
Tyrel did most of his talking on the
basketball court. With Stacy coach-
ing and Tyrel playing, Burlington
High School won the 3A State bas-
ketball championship in 2004.
Tyrel, a four-year letter winner, had
all the hallmarks of a coachs son.
Theyre just around it so much,
they get a better feel for the game,
Stacy said. Tyrel kind of took the
ball and ran with it.
Lacie graduated from Burlington
High School
in 2006. While
Lacie went to
the University
and began work
volunteering as a
basketball man-
ager, Tyrel was
still deciding on
what college to
attend.
Lacie said she
didnt want her new job to affect
Tyrels decision.
Stacy said it might have anyway.
I think its one of the things that
made Tyrel pick KU, Stacy said. Not
only his love for KU, but being close
with family.
Lacie sat under the basket in her
usual spot as Kansas played Eastern
Washington on Dec. 5, watching as a
play developed. Tyrel came towards
her basket, jumped and landed
awkwardly on his left ankle.
He fell right in front of me, Lacie
said. I expected him to get up right
away, and he didnt.
Tyrel, who rolled his right ankle
a week before
against Arizona,
had sprained his
left ankle.
I thought,
Oh gosh, anoth-
er ankle, Lacie
said.
The season
hasnt gone exact-
ly how Tyrel envi-
sioned. Tyrel, the
2007 Gatorade High School Player of
the Year in Kansas, said he didnt have
any expectations about playing time.
He saw Russell Robinson, Mario
Chalmers and Sherron Collins, the
talented threesome of guards ahead
of him.
But the ankle problems that
was something different.
It was kind of demoralizing,
Tyrel said. You just want to play so
bad, and then you cant.
Tyrel couldnt jump, cut or play at
the speed he was accustomed to.
It was a feeling Lacie could relate to.
Growing up, Tyrel wasnt the only
basketball standout in the family.
Lacie could play
a little bit, too.
I dont know
many people
that could beat
Lacie in a game
of horse, Stacey
Reed said.
But when
Lacie was in
sixth grade, her
basketball career
came to a tem-
porary halt when
she dislocated her left knee. One year
later, she had knee surgery.
By the time Lacie was done play-
ing basketball, she had dislocated her
left knee 14 times and her right knee
four times.
I tore everything except my ACL,
Lacie said.
Lacies knee injuries were a con-
stant source of frustration, but Lacie
still played, if for no other reason
than that playing basketball is what
Reeds do. Even if that meant just
standing around the three-point line
and calling for the ball.
I would say I
loved basketball,
maybe just not
as much as he
did, Lacie said,
looking at Tyrel.
Tyrels inju-
ries and the
guards ahead of
him have cut
into Reeds play-
ing time
Hes playing
only 7.3 minutes
per game, and in nine games this sea-
son, he hasnt played a minute.
Ive still been able to practice,
Tyrel said.
Practices for Tyrel have meant daily
matchups with Robinson, Chalmers
and Collins. Tyrel normally has the
honor of guarding one of them.
At different times, they can teach
you different things about the game,
because theyre all so different, Tyrel
said. I think even when youre not
playing and youre injured, you can
still develop by just watching the
game and seeing it played at the col-
lege level.
Lacie still gets the same reaction
when she tells people shes from
Burlington.
Theyre like, Burlington, Kansas?
That kid that plays basketball, hes
from there, Lacie said. Ill say,
Yeah, thats my brother.
Its not a bad thing, Lacie said.
With some people you might
think theyd have jealousy, Stacy
Reed said, but Lacie never did.
For Lacie and Tyrel, the town and
the routine may have changed, but
some things stay the same.
Lacie washes the clothes; Tyrel
buys the food. Tyrel is in the spot-
light; Lacie is behind the scenes.
Our family loves basketball,
Lacie said. Its just a part of our life.

It wont be pretty, but the Jayhawks will fnd a way to get the victory in
this must-win game. Look for Arthur to perform much better than he did
last Saturday.

Kansas tries to bounce bacK
Jayhawks to battle Cyclones, attempt season sweep
Kansas vs. iowa state, 3 p.m., Hilton coliseum, ames, iowa, cbs
Jiri Hubalek, senior center
Nebraskas Aleks Maric isnt
the only international center
making noise in the Big 12.
Jiri Hubalek, a
native of the
Czech Repub-
lic, is leading
Iowa State with
13.2 points
per game. He
has heated
up in the past
three weeks, scoring 17.4 points
per game in Iowa States last
seven games. He can stretch
the defense with his ability to
hit a 15-foot jump shot. The
Cyclones need a big game from
their big man. If Darnell Jackson
and Darrell Arthur can contain
Hubalek, Iowa State will have
a tough time keeping up with
Kansas on the scoreboard.
Darrell Arthur, sophomore
forward
All the players need to bounce
back after a poor efort against
Oklahoma State, but Arthur was
probably the
worst. Hed been
playing great the
past two weeks,
but Saturday was
a major setback.
For this team to
play great again,
someone is
going to have to
become a threat to score on every
ofensive possession. Arthur might
not be able to do that, but hes the
only Jayhawk who has the chance.

Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard
Robinson needs to rediscover his defensive
stopper ways. Remember when he held O.J.
Mayo in check in Los Angeles? He needs to be
that dominant on-the-ball defender he was
earlier this season.
mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard
The last play against Oklahoma State was
supposedly designed for Chalmers. Maybe the
outcome would have been diferent if Chalmers,
whos been clutch in the past, got the
ball.
Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6
junior guard
Rushs inconsistencies
are starting to really
hurt the team. He
played well
at the end
against Okla-
homa State,
but where was
he before then?
Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior
forward
Jackson did a tremendous job of stay-
ing focused on the game Saturday despite
the family tragedy that occurred three days
earlier. He could have a big game against Iowa
States smaller front line.
Darrell Arthur,
6-foot-9 sophomore forward
At least hed been playing well in the games
before Oklahoma State. Otherwise his one-for-
three feld goal stat line would be almost unfor-
givable. It will be interesting to see whether Self
has Arthur guard Iowa States Wesley Johnson
tonight.
Sasha Kaun, 6-foot-11 senior center
Dont expect Sherron Collins to get much
playing time tonight because of his bad knee.
Kaun will likely get the most minutes of the
bench. Hell need to be more aggressive on
ofense if Arthur doesnt fnd many shots
again.
This is an important game for
the Jayhawks. No one would have
thought a matchup against Iowa
State would matter too much at
the beginning of conference play,
but now Kansas is desperate for a
road victory. The Jayhawks have
lost three of four away from home,
and Hilton Coliseum is one of the
toughest gyms in the league. A Big
12 title might be impossible at this
point, but Kansas badly needs this
victory for a confdence boost.
Can Kansas still earn a No. 1
seed in the NCAA Tournament?
Probably not. Texas is almost a
lock to get the highest seed of any
Big 12 team, and if the Longhorns
win out in their league games,
theyll be almost assured of a No.
1. The Big 12 will not likely get
two No. 1 seeds. To have a chance
at a No. 1 seed, the Jayhawks will
have to win the rest of their regular
season games and the Big 12 Tour-
nament. Even then, Kansas would
still probably be behind Texas, not
to mention Tennessee, Memphis,
North Carolina, UCLA and possibly
Duke.
We played miserably on
Saturday, but I do think that health
is a part of the intangible equa-
tion. When you dont have health
that is when everyone else needs
to rally around (each other). Our
other players need to play a little
bit better and pull the rope a little
harder. There are some guys that
are distracted for real reasons.
Playing well through tough times
is a sign of leadership and players
coming together. We didnt have
that on Saturday.
Kansas coach Bill Self
It is like comparing apples
and oranges because Florida had
already won a national champion-
ship last year. Our guys should not
have the mindset that we know
what to do and when the time is
right we are going to do it. That
should not be the mindset of any
team that hasnt done it yet. We
havent been down that road yet.
It would be giving our guys and
our team way too much credit to
compare us to a team that has
already done it.

Florida last season

Second-year Coach Greg
McDermotts Iowa State team
has taken its lumps during the
past month. The Cyclones loss
to Kansas on Jan. 23 began a
skid in which theyve lost seven
of nine. But both of those vic-
tories came at home, and Iowa
State nearly knocked of Texas
at home, losing 71-65 in over-
time on Feb. 9. Kansas should
be weary of playing in Hilton
Coliseum. Last season Kansas
barely escaped Ames, Iowa with
a victory, beating the Cyclones
68-64 in overtime. Iowa State
-- which is 12-4 at home this
season -- is always dangerous at
Hilton Coliseum, and an upset
victory would be the signature
victory of McDermotts tenure.
Does Hilton magic still
exist?
In 1989, Des Moines Register
columnist Buck Turnbull used
the phrase Hilton Magic to
describe the Cyclones ability to
gain special victories at Hilton
Coliseum the home of the
Cyclones. The building has
consistently been one of the
toughest places to play Iowa
States 39-game home win-
ning streak that was snapped
in 2002 is a prime example.
Iowa State has made a habit of
sending visiting teams home
unhappy. But does Hilton Magic
still exist? One thing is certain. If
the game is close in the second
half, ESPNs broadcast team will
undoubtedly bring up the term
Hilton Magic.
It probably needs to start
with me because we dont have
a vocal leader on the team.
Weve been talking about this
for four years and its not going
to happen. Ive got to do a bet-
ter job of providing leadership
for our guys. I cant talk on the
court. Our staf and I cant do
some things. But from a vocal
standpoint, the vocal leader
needs to be me.

Bryan Petersen, 6-foot-1 freshman guard
Peterson, a junior college transfer, has handled
the point guard duties all season for the Cylclones.
His 14 points against Texas Tech on Saturday was
one of his best ofensive performances of the
season.
wesley Johnson, 6-foot-7 sophomore forward
Johnson scored 21 points against Kansas earlier
this season, but hes struggled lately. The sopho-
more from Corsicana, Texas has scored six total
points in Iowa States last two games.
Rahshon Clark, 6-foot-6 senior forward
The Queens, NY, native has only two more
home games left at Hilton Coliseum. Clarke,
who averaged 13.1 points per game as
a sophomore, is a role player on this
team, giving Iowa State a mix of
points, rebounds and blocks.
Jiri Hubalek, 6-foot-
11 senior center
The 25-year-old
center from the Czech
Republic had 17 points in Iowa
States loss to Texas Tech on
Saturday.
Craig Brackins, 6-foot-10
freshman forward
Brackins may have
hit the fresh-
man wall.
Hes scoring
fewer than
fve points
per during
Iowa States
last fve
games.
Sean Haluska, 6-foot-3
junior guard
Haluska scored a
career-high 15 points against
Texas Tech. Pretty good
considering Haluska started
the season 0-for-26 from the
three-point line.
HilToN ColiSeum will Be movie THeATeR SileNT iF
Kansas fnds a way to get a spark on ofense. The Jayhawks were
too predictable on Saturday. Rush and Chalmers could shoot from the
outside. Arthur wasnt getting open down low. No one could step up
and create his own shot. Against good teams, one of the players has to
fnd a way to make a move that will get him open and take the defense
out of its comfort zone. The Jayhawks can probably still win against
Iowa State with a somewhat stale ofense, but some more drives to the
hoop wouldnt hurt.
PHog AlleN will Roll oveR iN HiS gRAve iF
Kansas loses its third straight road game. It could happen. The Jay-
hawks needed overtime last year to win in Ames and that was against
an inferior Iowa State team. This is going to be a tough game. Kansas
should win if it plays up to its potential but that might not happen
because of its recent struggles and injury problems. It will also be key
for Kansas to execute well at the end. At Texas and at Oklahoma State,
the Jayhawks struggled to score in the last few minutes.
