Attention students:
I would like to invite you to attend
a debate among Student Senate coali-
tion leaders tonight. The University Daily
Kansan, KUJH-TV and KJHK 90.7 will
play host for the debate, which we designed
with you in mind.
From the format
to the incentives,
we want to attract
students from
various facets of
campus life and
diverse back-
grounds.
The debate
provides an ave-
nue for candidates
to express their
ideas, but more
importantly it creates the opportunity for
your questions to be answered. Come hear
what your potential student body leaders
have to say about issues like parking and
student fees. Wouldnt you like to know
about the people who control millions of
dollars for campus programs?
Well be raffling off cash prizes, too.
Enter your name for the chance to win a
$50 gift certificate to the KU Bookstores
or a $100 check for the student group to
which you belong. We hope to see you
there. And if you cant attend, watch or lis-
ten to the debate on KUJH-TV, Sunflower
Broadband channel 31, and KJHK 90.7
to learn about the presidential and vice-
presidential candidates for each coalition
before Student Senate elections on April
9 and 10.

ruf Audi-

Union
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
Student coalition Students of Liberty
released its platforms last week for the
upcoming Student Senate election. Adam
Wood, Lawrence junior and presidential
candidate, said he was still emphasizing
saving money in his platforms, but devel-
oped more to cover other areas of campus.
Wood said he did not speak with admin-
istration about any of his platforms before
announcing them and that he planned on
talking to them once he was elected.
Reevaluating student
fees
Wood said finan-
cial spending was
his first concern if
elected. He said
he wanted to go
through Senates
budget and see exactly
where all the money was going.
He said he wanted to make spending
more efficient.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student
success, said student fees were necessary
to fund many activities at the University.
She said the University was already fiscally
conservative.
Roney said students voted on fees to
support certain services and without the
money from these fees the services would
have to be cut.
Wood said he didnt want to cut any pro-
grams but instead wanted to find surpluses
from some fees and move the extra money
elsewhere.
no special inteRest
contRol of student
senate
Wood said he based this platform off of
The University Daily Kansan
editorial in the March 6
newspaper. The editorial
said Student Senate lead-
ership should not accept
gifts from the Athletics
Department because i t
compromises the integrity of Senate. It said
that the Athletics Department flew the stu-
dent body president and vice president to
an away football game and also gave them
box access at home football games.
I dont really blame them for something
everyone does, Wood said.
Wood said all members of his coalition
would sign a pledge to not take any gifts
from groups that Senate might sponsor.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics direc-
tor, said giving the student body president
and vice president the chance to go to an
away football game and also box access was
something the department had done each
year since Lew Perkins became the KU
athletics director.
Marchiony said it was an inexpensive
way to do something for students. He said it
let them see what it was like to be a student
athlete and also put them around alumni,
lawmakers and regents.
If I were in Student Senate, I would be
upset at the suggestion that anybody at the
University is controlling what they say, how
they think or how they vote, Marchiony
said.
Wood said that he wasnt accusing sena-
tors of being biased, but said that by taking
free tickets, they could appear biased to
voters.
Reclassification of
mopeds
Wood said he wanted to classify mopeds
as bikes so they would not require parking
permits. He said this would help students
save money and also encourage them to use
fuel-efficient mopeds.
Wood said he wanted to work on envi-
ronmental problems on a local level to pre-
vent state, national or international regula-
tions. He said he wanted to keep outside
influences like the government out of local
affairs.
Donna Hultine, director of the Parking
Department, said any change in moped
classification would have to go through the
Parking Commission, which is a group of
students, faculty and staff who vote on reg-
ulation changes. Hultine said the Parking
Department sold 118 moped
passes this school year.
She said the parking fee
structure had always given
a break to students who
rode mopeds because
the passes were so
much cheaper
than a park-
ing pass. This
year a moped
pass cost $25,
or $15 for
someone who
already had a parking pass.
Wood said he thought people with
mopeds shouldnt pay any money for passes
because they werent using parking spots.
not funding gRoups
that aRent open to all
students
Wood said KU students pay $80 per
year to the Womens and Non-Revenue
Intercollegiate Sports Fee, which he said
was not allowed in Student Senate rules.
He said Senate only funded groups open
to all students, which he said didnt include
womens sports.
I cant try out for them, Wood said
of womens sports. I dont think students
should pay for them.
Wood said students
also should not give
fees to the Athletics
Department, which
he said made $100
million in annual
revenue.
Marchiony said Woods
numbers were exaggerated. The Athletics
Department had $64 million in revenue
and $50 million in expenses in the 2007
fiscal year. It had $13.8 million in net rev-
enue, which went to paying for the Student
Recreation Fitness Center expansion and
transferring a building to the University.
Marchiony said that if Senate cut that
student fee, the department would have
a difficult time funding those sports the
way the department thinks they should be
funded, but no sports would be cut. He said
cutting that fund, which amounts to almost
$2 million per year, would cut into many
aspects of womens and non-revenue sports,
including scholarships, transportation costs
and facilities.
Wood said he might try to remove the
Womens and Non-Revenue Fee through an
open vote to all students if elected.
pRohibit tests and
pRojects afteR bReaks
Wood said that he has had
projects and papers due the
week after spring break, which
helped him come up with
this platform. He said students
needed rest, especially the ones
with large workloads.
Wood said this goal would have
to be a collaborative effort with pro-
fessors.
A lot of professors have tenure so theyll
do what they want, Wood said.
Roney said any change in testing pol-
icy would have to go through University
Governance, where
faculty, staff and
students vote on
University policies.
Roney said she
thought students
should discuss this
platform more
because it could limit
them at other times
in the semester. She
said students could
be more stressed from this policy because
their tests would have to be scheduled
closer together.
Wood said he would research other
schools that dont allow tests after breaks
and said he thought students would have
better GPAs and be happier because of
the policy.
giving moRe pRivacy
to student housing
inhabitants
Wood said he wanted to negotiate with
Student Housing to give students more pro-
tection against unreasonable searches.
Wood said he lived in both Hashinger
and Oliver halls and he wanted to treat
dorms more like apartments by not making
students leave during break and not making
them unplug everything when they leave.
Wood said hed heard stories from peo-
ple where Resident Assistants had blocked
open a door with their foot when they
wanted to enter a dorm room.
Diana Robertson, director of Student
Housing, said the Code of Student Rights
and Responsibilities prohibited anyone
from entering a students room. She said
the only exceptions were when students
went on break and were given notice some-
one would enter their room, when the
authorities gave 24-hour notice they would
be entering the rooms or when the student
was in imminent danger.
Wood said that when he lived in the
dorms, those rules were sometimes broken.
He wanted to find a way to enforce them
better.
Wood also said another goal was to
make it easier for students to stay in hous-
ing during spring break. He said a lot of
people didnt have the chance to go home
for breaks.
Robertson said not many students
applied for housing during breaks. She
said that during winter break, more than
half the students who stayed only stayed
for a day because of travel problems or
because of a sporting event.
This year, staying in McCollum Hall
during spring break cost $118. Robertson
said this was a rate of $14.75 per night,
which is what dorm rooms cost during the
school year.

Japan, even the dog prays.
Mimicking his master, priest
Joei Yoshikuni, a 1 1/2-year-old
black-and-white Chihuahua
named Conan joins in the
daily prayers at Nahas Shuri
Kannondo temple, sitting up
on his hind legs and putting
his front paws together before
the altar.
It took him only a few days
to learn the motions, and now
he is the talk of the town.
Word has spread, and we
are getting a lot more tourists,
Yoshikuni said Monday.
Yoshikuni said Conan gener-
ally goes through his prayer
routine at the temple in the
capital of Japans southern
Okinawa prefecture (state)
without prompting before his
morning and evening meals.
I think he saw me doing it
all the time and got the idea to
do it, too,Yoshikuni said.
The priest is now trying to
teach him how to meditate.
Well, sort of.
Basically, I am just trying
to get him to sit still while I
meditate, he explained. Its
not like we can make him cross
his legs.
Man blames speeding
on milk and cookies
SALISBURY, Conn. Police
say a mans excuse for speed-
ing through a small Connecti-
cut town takes the cake or,
at least, the cookie.
A state trooper who
stopped the 1993 BMW last
fall says its driver, 28-year-old
Justin Vonkummer of Miller-
ton, N.Y., blamed his driving
problems on an errant Oreo.
Vonkummer told the troop-
er that an Oreo had just slipped
from his fngers as he dunked it
in a cup of milk, and that he was
trying to fsh it out when he lost
control of his car.
Prosecutors learned in court
this week that Vonkummer had
been charged with speeding
and driving under a suspended
license not driving under the
infuence, as a clerk had mistak-
enly noted in the court records.
Vonkummers attorney de-
clined to comment. The case is
pending.
Beetle joins Tennessee
police department
MARYVILLE, Tenn. Blount
Countys newest police cruiser
has been turning heads, but
whether it could keep up in a
high-speed chase seems unlikely.
Assistant Chief Deputy Archie
Garner retroftted a 1973 Volkswa-
gen Beetle to add to the sherifs
feet of police interceptors, but
with a top-end speed of about
70 mph, hes not writing a lot of
speeding tickets.
The bug-erceptor was seized
in a DUI case and boasts a new
paint job, sherifs decals and
tags, a siren, radio, barred rear
side windows, a side-mounted
spotlight and police lights.
The car even has the same
number, 53, as Herbie the Volk-
swagen race car in the movie The
Love Bug.
Garner said the car will be
used mostly as a public relations
tool for the department, making
appearances in parades and at
school events.
Alaskan fnds 21-year-old
message in a bottle
SEATTLE Merle Brandell
and his black lab Slapsey were
beachcombing along the Bering
Sea when he spied a plastic bottle
among the Japanese glass foats
he often fnds along the shore of
his tiny Alaskan fshing village.
He walked over and saw an en-
velope tucked inside. After slicing
the bottle open, Brandell found
a message from an elementary
school student in a suburb of
Seattle. The fact that the letter
traveled 1,735 miles without any
help from the U.S. postal service
is unusual, but thats only the
beginning of the mystery.
About 21 years passed be-
tween the time Emily Hwaung
put the message in a soda bottle
and Merle Brandell picked it up
on the beach.
This letter is part of our sci-
ence project to study oceans and
learn about people in distant
lands, she wrote. Please send the
date and location of the bottle
with your address. I will send you
my picture and tell you when
and where the bottle was placed
in the ocean. Your friend, Emily
Hwaung.
Brandell, 34, a bear hunting
guide and manager of a water
plant, said many of the 70-plus
residents of Nelson Lagoon were
intrigued by his fnd. Beach-
combing is a popular activity in
remote western Alaska. Among
the recent discoveries was a sail
boat that washed onto shore last
October.
Its kind of a sport. It keeps us
occupied. Its one of the pleasures
of living here, Brandell said of the
village reachable only by plane or
boat that is too small to have its
own store.
Brandell tried to track down
the sender: a fourth grader from
the North City School in the
Shoreline School District.
No one answered when
Brandell called the school in
December so he sent the school
district a handwritten letter,
which eventually ended up on
the desk of district spokesman
Craig Degginger.
After some searching, Deggin-
ger discovered Emily Hwaung is
now a 30-year-old accountant
named Emily Shih and lives in Se-
attle. She was in the fourth grade
during the 1986-87 school year
at a school building that closed
more than a year ago.
Shih said she was fabber-
gasted by the news and immedi-
ately shared it with her Kirkland
co-workers.
I dont remember the project.
It was so long ago. Elementary
school is kind of foggy, Shih ad-
mitted during a recent interview.
Ive been getting a kick out of it
for a month now.

Even though St. Patricks Day
is over, students can continue to
celebrate Irish heritage with an
academic flavor.
The University has one of the
worlds largest collections of Irish
literature in the special collections
department at Spencer Research
Library.
The collec-
tion includes
more than
250,000 books,
including a
large number
of William
Butler Yeats
works and
more than 900
books and arti-
cles by James
Joyce.
The Joyce collection features
first editions of all but five of his
works. It also has the first edi-
tion and the first issue of Joyces
famous novel Ulysses signed by
Joyce himself.
The Yeats collection features
first editions of all except one
of his works, Mosada, which is
extremely scarce.
Rebecca Smith, public relations
director for KU Libraries, said
that the collection was so large
because of many gifts and collec-
tions have been added.
Yeats and Joyce were the two
most well-known authors featured,
but the collection contains sev-
eral lesser-known authors, which
Smith said were still incredibly
important to those who study
Irish literature.
The special collections depart-
ment was started in 1953 to obtain
other collections. The James Joyce
collection was one of the first
acquired.
One of the largest collections
the depart-
m e n t
acquired was
in 1959, and
was accom-
panied by a
note from
W a t s o n
Library that
said 11 tons
of books.
The collec-
tion came
from a book
collector named P.S. OHegarty.
He was also a historian and author
who lived during the 19th and
early 20th century.
OHegartys collection con-
tained Yeats books, poems, his-
torical pamphlets and journals.
The collection even features a
signed copy of the Irish declara-
tion of independence.
The Spencer Research Library
is at 1450 Poplar Lane, behind
Strong Hall.

Student reports rape at Lorimar Town Home
BY FRAnCESCA ChAMBERS
fchambers@kansan.com
On Saturday an unidentified
man entered a Lorimar Town
Home and reportedly raped a 20-
year-old female KU student.
According to a Lawrence Police
Department media release, the
sexual assault occurred about
3:30 a.m.
and the sus-
pects where-
abouts were
unknown.
The attack
was the fifth
in what the
media release
said could be
a series, and
it was the sec-
ond rape that
had occurred
in Lawrence this month. The
police department is encouraging
women to take preventative mea-
sures including planning escape
routes from their residences in
case of an attack.
The media release said that in
each of the cases that could be a
part of a series, the suspect was
described as a slim, white man
between the ages of 25 and 40 and
between 5-feet-9 inches and 6 feet
tall. He was also said to be armed
with a weapon and entered the
apartments between 3 and 4 a.m.
On June 13, 2006 an unidenti-
fied man entered a residence in
central Lawrence and sexually
assaulted a 21-year-old woman.
On December 29, 2004 an uniden-
tified man entered a north central
residence and raped two females,
ages 19 and 20. On July 14, 2004
an unidentified male entered a
residence in southwest Lawrence
and raped a KU student.
Kim Murphree, of the Lawrence
Police Department, said the
department could not release any
further information regarding the
motives or evidence involved in
the attacks. She
said Kansas
law prohibits
the release of
any informa-
tion that might
identify the
victim of a
sexual crime.
Lorimar Town
Homes refused
to comment on
the incident.
A KU junior
who is a resident of Lorimar Town
Homes, 3801 Clinton Parkway, and
did not want to be named because
of the circumstances of the crime,
said she stayed at a friends house
the night the rape occurred. She
said that when she returned home
the next day, she was still ques-
tioned by the police. She said the
police wanted to make sure resi-
dents did not know the rapist.
The student said the police
would not give her any informa-
tion about the rape, but she said
she thought the man broke in,
because the officer who inter-
viewed her said that she and her
roommates should look out for
each other.
She said the police department
was very thorough in its investiga-
tion. She said it looked through
residents trash and dug up suspi-
cious-looking footprints.
The student said the severity of
the crime did not hit her until she
noticed that police had flagged
footprints near
her back door,
which she said
was in major
need of repair.
It was like
CSI, but too
real, the stu-
dent said. Like
something you
see on TV but
you dont want
to happen to
you.
The student also said she
thought the FBI was involved. She
said police department vehicles
and a white trailer were parked
at the complexes from the time
the crime was reported until she
and her roommates left at 9:30
p.m. the following evening. She
said that when they returned, the
police were gone and everything
was cleaned up like nothing had
happened.
I think that was the most eerie
feeling to come home that night
still not knowing what happened,
she said.
She said that she felt like
rape was becoming a problem in
Lawrence and that it needed more
awareness because the suspect has
not been caught and was armed.
Randi Jordt, a Leavenworth
junior who lives in southwest
Lawrence, said it worried her that
the police had not caught the rap-
ist. She said she would no longer
walk to her car alone at night.
Lauren Punch, Eden Prairie,
Minn., sophomore, said she was
nervous about a rapist being
on the loose because she knew
many people
walked home
drunk. She
said it would
be easy for a
rapist to fol-
low girls home
and return at
another time
to rape them.
Like my
house. Six girls
take your pick, Punch said.
Kelly Lacombe, Bloomington,
Minn., sophomore, said she was
not worried about being raped
because she lived at Alpha Chi
Omega, which houses more than
80 girls.
However, Lacombe said she
thought it was scary that a rap-
ist was on the loose in Lawrence
because it was not a community
she would consider dangerous.
The Lorimar Town House
resident said her neighborhood
seemed very safe beforehand. She
said there was a large quantity of
lights in the neighborhood. She
said she had the landlord fix her
door since the rape. She also said
that she has started carrying pep-
per spray and that she was now
terrified to be at home alone.

The suspect was described as a
slim, white man between the
ages of 25 and 40 and between
5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall.

I think that was the most eerie
feeling - to come home that
night still not knowing what
happened.

Racy text messages prove perjury conviction of mayor
ASSOCiAtEd PRESS
DETROIT Mayor Kwame
Kilpatrick was charged with per-
jury and other offenses Monday
and got a stern lecture about
the importance of telling the truth
after a trove of raunchy text
messages contradicted his sworn
denials of an affair with his chief
aide.
The 37-year-old Hip-Hop
Mayor who brought youth and
vitality to the job in this strug-
gling city of 900,000 could get up
to 15 years in prison for perjury
alone and would be automatically
expelled from office if convicted.
Ignoring mounting demands
that he step down, Kilpatrick said:
I look forward to complete exon-
eration once all the facts have been
brought forth. I will remain focused
on moving this city forward.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym
Worthy brought charges of per-
jury, conspiracy, obstruction of
justice and misconduct against the
popular but polarizing mayor. In
announcing the charges, she deliv-
ered something of a civics lesson
on the importance of telling the
truth under oath.
Some have suggested that the
issues in this case are personal or
private, said Worthy, a Democrat
like the mayor. Our investigation
has clearly shown that public dol-
lars were used, peoples lives were
ruined, the justice system severely
mocked and the public trust tram-
pled on.
She added: This case is about
as far from being a private matter
as one can get.
Kilpatricks former chief of staff,
Christine Beatty, 37, who also
denied under oath that she and
Kilpatrick had an intimate relation-
ship in 2002 and 2003, was charged
with many of the same offenses. A
call to her lawyer was not immedi-
ately returned.
Both the mayor and Beatty
turned themselves in for booking
in the afternoon. No trial date has
been set.
The mayors lawyer, Dan Webb,
said forcing Kilpatrick to resign
now would punish him before he
has had his day in court.
The charges could be the begin-
ning of the end of Kilpatricks six-
year career as the youngest man
elected mayor of Detroit, one of
Americas largest and most trou-
bled cities, with deeply entrenched
poverty made worse by the down-
turn in the auto industry.
Worthy began her investiga-
tion in late January, the day after
the Detroit Free Press published
excerpts from 14,000 text messages
that were sent or received in 2002-
03 from Beattys city-issued pager.
The messages called into ques-
tion testimony Kilpatrick and
Beatty gave last August in a lawsuit
filed by two police officers who
said they were fired for investigat-
ing claims that the mayor used his
security unit to cover up extra-
marital affairs.
In court, Kilpatrick and Beatty
strongly denied having an intimate
relationship. But the text messages
reveal that they carried on a flirty,
sometimes sexually explicit dia-
logue about where to meet and
how to conceal their trysts.
Kilpatrick is married with three
children. Beatty was married at the
time and has two children.
The city eventually agreed to
pay $8.4 million to the two officers
and a third former officer. Some
of the charges brought against the
mayor on Monday accuse him of
agreeing to the settlement in an
effort to keep the text messages
from becoming public.
Im madly in love with you,
Kilpatrick wrote on Oct. 3, 2002.
I hope you feel that way for a
long time, Beatty replied. In case
you havent noticed, I am madly in
love with you, too!
On Oct. 16, 2002, Kilpatrick
wrote: Ive been dreaming all day
about having you all to myself for
3 days. Relaxing, laughing, talking,
sleeping and making love.
All of the charges against the
mayor are felonies. Under the
city charter, a felony conviction
would mean the mayors immedi-
ate expulsion.
In announcing the charges,
Worthy delivered a 14-minute
lecture on the oath that all the
witnesses take, and how the crimi-
nal justice system relies on people
to tell the truth. Even children
understand that lying is wrong,
she said.
If a witness lies, innocent peo-
ple can go to jail or prison, people
can literally get away with murder,
civil litigants who deserve money
may not get it or may get money
they dont deserve, she said. And
lying cannot be tolerated even if a
judge or jury sees through it.
The City Council asked
Kilpatrick to step down last week,
but he refused, and the council has
no authority to remove him in the
meantime.
Council President Ken Cockrel
Jr., who was among those who
called on Kilpatrick to resign last
week, would succeed him if he
left office.

worlds largest collections of

lections department at Spencer

Olympics
Protestors put damper on torch-lighting ceremony
AssociAted Press
ANCIENT OLYMPIA, Greece
Even before the Olympic flame
was lit Monday, a protester of
Chinas human rights policies dis-
rupted the solemn ceremony, fore-
shadowing the prospect of demon-
strations throughout the 85,000-
mile torch-relay route right up to
the Beijing Games themselves.
Forecasts of clouds and rain had
been considered the main threat to
the pomp-filled torch-lighting. But
in the end, while the sun sparked
the flame to life, it was the protest-
ers who turned the joyful bow to
the Olympics roots into a politi-
cal embarrassment for China over
its crackdown in Tibet and other
rights issues.
Three men advocating press
freedom evaded massive security
and ran onto the field at the cer-
emony in Ancient Olympia before
they were seized by police. Minutes
later, a Tibetan woman covered in
fake blood briefly blocked the path
of the torch relay.
The incidents came after
International Olympic Committee
President Jacques Rogge told The
Associated Press in an interview
that he was engaged in silent
diplomacy with the Chinese but
wouldnt intervene in politics to try
to change their policies.
We are discussing on a daily
basis with Chinese authorities,
including discussing these issues,
while strictly respecting the sov-
ereignty of China in its affairs,
Rogge said.
Protests are bound to follow
the torch throughout its 136-day
route across five continents and
20 countries. China pledged strict
security measures to ensure its seg-
ment of the relay wont be marred
by protests.
Tibetan activists have already
said they plan to demonstrate else-
where on the route.
Later we will do protests in
London and Paris, said Tenzin
Dorjee, a member of Students
for a Free Tibet who protested in
Ancient Olympia.
Chinas communist leadership
has faced a public relations disaster
since protests of its rule turned vio-
lent March 14 in the Tibetan capital
of Lhasa, sparking waves of unrest
in surrounding provinces. China
reported a death toll of 22 from the
violence, but Tibets exiled govern-
ment says 80 Tibetans were killed.
Nineteen died in subsequent vio-
lence in Gansu province, it said.
A rising chorus of international
criticism and floated calls for a
boycott have unnerved the Chinese
leadership, which has turned up
efforts to put its own version of
the unrest before the international
public.
China has blamed the riots on
followers of the Dalai Lama, Tibets
exiled spiritual leader.

News Brief
Harry Potter series author
admits suicidal thoughts
LONDON J.K. Rowling, author
of the Harry Potter series, said
she contemplated suicide as she
sufered from depression before
her rise to success, according to an
interview with student journalist
Adeel Amini at Edinburgh Univer-
sity.
The author said she had suicidal
thoughts in her mid-20s, when she
was a single mother and struggling
to establish a literary career.
Mid-20s life circumstances
were poor and I really plummeted,
Rowling said.
Rowling said in the interview
that she sought help from doctors
and spent nine months receiv-
ing cognitive behavioral therapy,
according to Amini.

HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 6
Pay off debts; dont incur new
ones now. It feels like you can
afford to buy anything you
want. That would be incredibly
foolish, especially if you put it
on plastic.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
Make sure your spokesperson
knows exactly the message
you want to convey. Dont
leave this to chance; make your
instructions crystal clear.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 6
If the work youre doing now
isnt taking you to where you
want to end up, stand back for
an objective view. Then make a
correction.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
Everything seems wonderful,
but actually, thats an illusion.
Dont wager more than you
can afford to lose. All is not as
it seems.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6
You need a few important
things for your home and fam-
ily. Buy the best you can afford,
so it will last a long time. Get it
wholesale, if possible.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7
Youre very interested, but
not in the assigned task.
Avoid becoming so distracted
that you really mess up. The
consequences of that would
be awful.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 6
Dont fall for an emotional
argument. Maintain objectivity.
The tears and drama are all
a trick to part you from your
wealth. Dont play the fool.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8
Dont let there be any misun-
derstandings. Make your posi-
tion clear. Dont be a fool about
it, though. Adapt if necessary.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 6
Dont gossip or even pass
along information you think is
right. The odds are high there
are circumstances that have
not been revealed. Continue
your investigation, quietly.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7
Its not a good idea to fund a
friends fanciful proposal. Let
somebody who can afford to

that. Its not a good time to
invest.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 6
Youre doing well fnancially,
but are you really happy? For-
get about that for a while. Do
the job and collect the money.
Happiness isnt everything. Its
transitory, anyway.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

I have this hideous image in my
head of a shirtless Dick Cheney
on stage shedding a Fender
Stratocaster as he prepares to
take a stage dive. Luckily, no one
will have to endure the weight
and nightmares an event like this
would provoke.
With primary numbers being
reported like baseball scores, peo-
ple are losing sight of what matters
and are treating the elections like a
red carpet event.
Artists are stepping out from
behind the stage to directly endorse
presidential candidates. Although
music has taken to playing watch-
dog for our government, I fear the
line between provocative art and
political promotion is blurring.
Musicians are invaluable to poli-
tics, but their endorsements doesnt
say a word about why an artist likes
a candidate.
The protest song has been a
part of American music since
the 60s when Bob Dylan forged
his career writing songs such as
Subterranean Homesick Blues
and Hurricane that criticized the
faults and follies of American life
and government, but Ive never
heard of him coming out on stage
wearing an LBJ button or shouting
campaign slogans.
Musicians play a vital role in
the political process because they
serve a group of people that may
be desensitized to the political
jargon that gets regurgitated in
every speech, debate and Fox news
report that graces our television
sets nightly.
The ability to lead the public is
not something to be taken lightly,
especially when the group they are
preaching to have the power to
sway the election.
When artists like Wayne Cote
of The Flaming Lips pose next to
Democratic presidential candidate
Barack Obama wearing a booster
button and rocking two thumbs
up, how will diehard Lips fans
react? Could some uninformed fan
out there go to the polls and vote
Obama simply because his idol
told him to?
Considering the power that
celebrities have in this country,
this is not far fetched.
At an Arcade Fire show, front
man Win Butler spoke directly to
his fans and endorsed Obama.
To the growing number of
young people who have become
disillusioned with politics, these
actions may weigh heavy on their
choice for president.
This months Rolling Stone fea-
tures Obama in a pose thats fit for
a deity next to the glowing caption,
A New Hope.
Such a powerful image on a
magazine as widely read and cir-
culated as Rolling Stone can have a
widespread influence.
That could be dangerous, espe-
cially when so many people wont
know why Rolling Stone is sup-
porting Obama. Some may not
even bother to read the words
inside to actually learn something
about the man they want running
their country the next four years.
Music has always had a certain
quality that can cut through the
blur of polysyllabic words spill-
ing from the mouths of politicians
and transforming them into that
ever-eluding truth that we are all
searching for.
Whether it be through the
angst-ridden revolutionary tunes
of Rage Against the Machine or the
winding poetic ramblings of Mr.
Zimmerman, musicians make us
think about the issues and how we
are going to solve them.
Just like crafting an opinion
from the cover of a magazine, an
endorsement only tells us what we
should like, not why.
An artist hopping on a campaign
bandwagon (no pun intended) will
do nothing but distract fans from
these issues instead of turning their
minds.
It skews the issues and makes
us forget that when a candidate is
in office, its his or her policies that
matter, not how many tour busses
boast their bumper stickers.
Lerman is a Highland Park,
Ill., sophomore in journalism.
Being amazing isnt enough to
earn scholarships.
Scholarships discriminate back-
wards. They assume because Im
white and middle-class, Ive had it
easy my whole life and should auto-
matically be able to pull thousands
out of my pocket. They assume
I must be some ghetto-fabulous
sugar mama from the rich bitch
side of da hood.
Unless you are a three-time-
hyphenated ethnic orphan living in
a cardboard box, it seems that you
have the same chance of getting
a scholarship as you do finding a
parking spot at the University.
Wait, thats a lie. You might actu-
ally find a parking spot, even if its
at 3 a.m. and on West Campus.
Both nationally and locally, any
high school senior can find finan-
cial aid. You get scholarships like
the Underwater Basket Weaver of
the Year Scholarship, which you
were rewarded because you were
highly qualified. And by highly
qualified I mean the only underwa-
ter basket weaver in your school.
After high school, scholarships,
like leprechauns or talented people
on American Idol, are rare. Most
scholarships apply only for your
first year in college.
Thats dandy, but what about
that sophomore, junior, senior and
victory lap year?
Many scholarships are for spe-
cific grades, mostly freshmen and
juniors. What if youre a junior by
year but have enough credit hours
to be a senior? Can you still apply?
How can you argue with your ARTS
form (besides beating it upside the
head with a hammer, that is, if
you can generate the bloody thing
online in less than five days)?
Once you figure out what grade
youre in, you have to figure out
your major (as of this week). Most
scholarships are limited to certain
fields. Or people in certain fields of
specific circumstances, like women
in engineering, who are considered
minorities.
Once you get through these
qualifications, it leaves you eligible
for two or three scholarships. But
you compete against all the other
generic students on campus for
these scholarships or against the
whole country for national scholar-
ships.
The chance you will get any of
these scholarships is so small you
begin to wonder if its worth it to
print your ARTS form, write a per-
sonal statement, write a statement
of need, get an official transcript,
find 50 references and fill out a
form of other information like your
full name (I. M. Poor).
What if you are a hard-working,
middle-class student who, regard-
less of what your FAFSA form
thinks, cannot chalk up $20,000 a
year for college? How do you get
across that you are just as worthy of
scholarships as minorities?
For example, Im a hard-work-
ing student I drink Mountain
Dew and eat my weight in Asian
food daily.
Most of you are the same way.
You work hard both at your studies
and your jobs. You have positions of
leadership, and you volunteer. Your
GPA is higher than your blood-
alcohol level (depending on the day
of the week).
Also, youre passionate about
your major. You want to suc-
ceed. You want an education to
help you maintain your dream job.
Scholarships help make this pos-
sible.
Were all in the same boat,
whether that boat is the Titanic or a
dinghy, and were all heading in the
same direction. We all need fuel to
get there. Who is to decide who is
more worthy of financial aid?
I just realized I used the word
bloody in this column. I wonder
if Im qualified for more scholar-
ships because Im now part British.

Editors note: This is an open
letter to Chancellor Robert
Hemenway submitted by a mem-
ber of KU Watch.
Chancellor Hemenway,
As passionate and committed
KU students, we are inspired
that this university commits to
preparing us to be more socially
aware in a complex world. We,
however, are concerned to hear
of KUs lack of transparency
in crucial issues. For example,
there is direct investment in
activities actively supporting
the militarys now five-year-
long presence in Iraq.
From the limited informa-
tion weve been able to obtain,
it seems KUs support comes
in two main forms: sponsored
research and direct partnerships.
KU researchers expended over
$18 million of Department of
Defense funding between fiscal
years 2002-2006. In September,
KU announced a joint partner-
ship with Fort Leavenworth.
We are deeply concerned that
KU is helping develop military
technology and that KU class-
rooms will be utilized to train
United States Army officers in
strategies used to kill in the
Middle East.
During the Vietnam War, it
was students who demanded
that their universities, govern-
ment and military be more
transparent about their deci-
sions. Today, amidst what we
and most feel is another unjust
war, we know real change can
only come from asking the most
difficult questions. If those
being asked the questions are
willing to answer transparently,
real change can be achieved.
Students can learn more
about KUs institutional ties by
visiting kuwatch.org or contact-
ing info@kuwatch.org about
how to get involved.
Sincerely,
Greg Hill
On behalf of KU Watch,

ing institutional transparency

NEWS 8A tuesday, march 25, 2008

Students will demonstrate
on the Stauffer-Flint lawn today
to increase awareness about
University research funded by the
Department of Defense.
In an open letter to Chancellor
Robert Hemenway, KU Watch,
a campus activism organization,
expressed its appreciation for qual-
ity research at the University, but
said it was deeply concerned the
University was helping develop
military technology and using KU
classes to train United States Army
officers in strategies used to kill in
the Middle East.
KU Watch will also have a teach-
in at the Ecumenical Christian
Ministries tonight to educate stu-
dents on military research dol-
lars at the University and how
that research will benefit military
interests.
Greg Hill, Overland Park junior
and KU Watch activist, said the
University made bids on military
funded projects to gain prestige
without exposing the ethical and
structural implications.
We dont feel these projects are
necessarily bad in and of them-
selves, just that they are symptom-
atic of broader trends in corporate
and military influence, Hill said.
The Department of Defense
awarded more than $2.4 million to
the University, but actual expen-
ditures were closer to $4 million,
said Kevin Boatright, director of
communications for the Office of
Research and Graduate Studies.
Boatright said that number in
comparison to funding from other
agencies was very minimal.
According to Hill, the
Department of Defense has award-
ed the University of Kansas more
than $500,000 to fund its partici-
pation of the Bowman Expeditions
in particular. Fully funded, the
Bowman Expedition would send a
geography professor and graduate
students to every country in the
world to gather unclassified data
for the Geographic Information
System database.
Their first expe-
dition is called
Mexico Indigena
and explores
cooperating indig-
enous communi-
ties in Mexico in
conjunction with
the University of
San Luis Potosi.
Jerry Dobson,
a KU geogra-
phy professor in charge of this
research, said the project is put
in place to fight geographic igno-
rance, a cause of major past politi-
cal mistakes.
We invaded Iraq because of
geographic ignorance, Dobson
said. We have had foreign policy
blunder after foreign policy blun-
der because we dont understand
foreigners.
Hill said that while the inten-
tions were
good, those
i n v o l v e d
should con-
sider unin-
tended con-
s e que nc e s
that could
result in
h u m a n
rights abus-
es.
We hope
that students will pressure KU to
be more transparent and more pro-
active regarding potential human
rights abuses that could potentially
result from research conducted at
KU, Hill said.
Peter Herlihy, associate director
of indigenous studies and a leader
of the Bowman Expedition, said
that he embraced the vitality and
enthusiasm that KU Watch has
had, but his project was the anti-
thesis of what they were trying
to say.
We are proud to raise the flag
and say look at what the gov-
ernment is funding, Herlihy said.
Our project empowers indige-
nous people by putting intellectual
property where it belongs.
I think their project is good,
but to think that it doesnt fit into a
larger agenda seems kind of naive,
Hill said.
Herlihy said that the grants pro-
vided by the government during
World War II played a major role
in how the government was able to
bring peace.
Geographical intelligence is
needed for peace and prosperity
just like it is needed for war and
destruction, Herlihy said.
Hill said this project among
many others support military ini-
tiatives connected to an unpopular
war among University students
and faculty.
Painting all Department of
Defense funding with one brush is
not appropriate. A lot of it doesnt
have anything to do with the war,
Boatright said.
Hill said the University should
make Department of Defense
funded projects more accessible to
students and open debate.
Students need to be more
politically aware of what their uni-
versity is doing and how that fits
into the war, Hill said.

Team Hopes To
improve afTer
spring classic
With about two minutes to play in
Kansas 75-56 dispatching of University
of Nevada, Las Vegas, junior guard
Mario Chalmers hit the deck after a drive
through the lane. Chalmers lay motion-
less near the baseline for a moment as
teammates and coaches arrived to assist
him.
Kansas coach Bill Self knelt down to
assess the situation. Chalmers looked up
at his coach with a grin he was feeling
fine. Self quickly turned his attention
from his thankfully healthy player to a
more pressing issue: the officiating. Self
used the impromptu stoppage of play
to turn to a nearby referee and deliver a
playful jab.
You sure that wasnt a foul on that
block down at the other end? Self
implored, cracking a half-smile.
The Kansas coachs politicking didnt
convince the officials to overturn junior
guard Brandon Rushs fifth foul, but it
did serve as perfect punctuation for the
masterpiece of a game Self penned from
the sideline.
Self s success last weekend in Omaha
shouldnt come as a surprise. Hes authored
a lot of good ones lately.
Through the first 20 minutes of
Saturday afternoons second-round game,
UNLV had its way with Kansas. The
Runnin Rebels didnt run, instead they
flustered the Jayhawks with vise-tight
defense and a muddy offensive game
plan that drew 11 first-half Kansas
fouls. With 7:48 to play in the first half,
UNLV capped a 12-4 run with two free
throws, putting the Rebels on top by two
points.
Kansas made a small run to extend its
lead to five points by halftime, but the
game wasnt going as planned. No. 8 seeds
from the Mountain West Conference
arent supposed to hang with No. 1 seeds
from the Big 12 Conference, let alone
the powerful Kansas team that went 18-0
against nonconference foes during the
regular season.
Self made sure UNLV wouldnt hang
with Kansas for much longer. In the
second half, Kansas adjusted its lineup,
throwing four guards and one post at
the Rebels instead of staying with its
standard three-guard, two-big man setup.
The change-up not only helped Kansas
defend the diminutive Rebels, who didnt
start a player taller than 6-foot-7, but also
assisted with the Jayhawks offense.
Without an extra post player clog-
ging the lane, the Kansas guards took

Bill Self couldve at least entertained
the idea or humored wishful-thinking
fans, right? Maybe said that Brandon Rush
would worry about the NBA in a few
months.
Yeah, Self couldve done all that, but
he wouldve been lying. Instead, while
he chatted with the media just a few feet
from Brandon Rush in the ballroom of the
Kansas City Marriott during Big 12 Media
days in October, he gave a blunt assessment
of how likely it would be for Rush to come
back for a senior year.
Nobodys thinking that he is, including
me, including him, Self said. He knows he
would not be here now if not for the injury
so why should we expect him to play for
two more years.
Now, toward the end of his junior sea-
son, Rush is finally playing like someone
whos worthy of getting drafted. Hes aver-
aging better than 19 points a game in the
last four games and is starting to rely less
on his outside shot by taking the ball to rim
more often. Rush wont publicly tell any-
one about his future plans he maintains
hes focused on the NCAA Tournament
but he couldnt hide his enthusiasm when
asked how much a solid run in March
would help his draft stock.
Theyre definitely going to be more
impressed, Rush said about the pro
scouts.
He was right. An NBA executive, who
insisted on anonymity, said the tournament
could often make or
break a players draft
standing. Someone
who was not even
on the radar could
sneak into the sec-
ond round or some-
one who was already
a high pick could go
even higher because of a strong postseason.
This means a player like Rush could go
from the late second round, where he was
projected to land just a couple months ago,
to a possible late first round or early second
round pick.
Most analysts thought Rush would be
drafted in the late first round last summer,
when he entered the NBA Draft after his
sophomore year. His workouts were good,
and he was regarded as one of the best
defenders in the draft. That all changed
when Rush tore his ACL in late May and
had to withdraw from draft consider-
ations.
However, Rush said that throughout the
season his knee felt fine and didnt bother
him. In fact, his play showed the opposite.
Games went by, and Rush rarely looked
comfortable. He could still score he was
KUs scoring leader in conference play - but
almost never ventured in front of the three-
point line.
Throughout the season Self pled with
Rush to be more aggressive, as he often has
during the past three seasons. One con-
frontation may have finally worked. It was
halftime of KUs quarterfinal game of the
Big 12 Tournament against Nebraska.
He challenged his manhood, senior
guard Russell Robinson said. Brandon
accepts criticism well and just took it as
coach trying to motivate him and turned
it around.
The next day Rush scored a career-
high 29 points. He followed it up with six
three-pointers in the Big 12 Championship
and earned the MVP award for the Big
12 Tournament. He has stayed aggres-
sive in the NCAA
Tournament, going
for 18 points and 12
points in the first two
games.
The improved play
has boosted his draft
status and helped his
team win. A National
Championship or Final Four might make
Rush a better draft pick than anyone

Robinson would love to see Rushs value
increase because it would mean that the
team was having success.
The main thing is hes playing well,
Robinson said, and we need to get him
to continue playing well. Good things will
happen for us and theyll happen for him
as well.

Although she knew her team had no
chance of being selected for the NCAA
Tournament, coach Bonnie Henrickson
brought her players and coaches together
last Monday to watch the selection show
anyway.
Henrickson instructed her players
to fill out brackets as the teams were
announced and to watch the show as if
Kansas were going to be one of the 64
teams announced. When it was all said
and done, the Jayhawks indeed were not
one of the eight Big 12 teams selected to
participate in the big dance.
It was pretty painful, sophomore
guard Kelly Kohn said, To watch
Nebraska, who we just beat twice, get
into the tournament, and Iowa State,
who we just beat at homeit was tough,
it was painful to watch all of the other
teams like Stanford and all of the big
ones all excited on camera.
The Jayhawks schedule, ranked as the
18th hardest in Division I by colleg-
erpi.com, featured 12 teams that were
selected to the NCAA Tournament. The
Jayhawks won five games against teams
going to the tournament including at
Xavier and only three of their 15 losses
came against teams not selected to the
big dance.
It sucked, sophomore guard Sade
Morris said. Every time a team would
come up like Hartford, well, we beat
them; Xavier, well, we beat them.
And then we saw teams that we
think we could beat, and knowing they
took eight Big 12 teamsI just dont
even like thinking about it.
Henrickson organized the group watch
party to instill the mind-set of postsea-
son basketball in her players minds. The
Jayhawks were fighting for an NCAA bid
but lost their final five Big 12 conference
games to end the season.
I really felt like we needed to under-
stand the tournament, Henrickson said.
I wasnt convinced throughout the year
and even at the end of the year that we
really understood about the conferences
and the at-larges and automatics. Just
watching it and filling out a bracket and
talking to them about how exciting it
was to make the NIT and see their name
in a bracket, and just how much more
exciting it is when youre up in the other
bracket and up on TV.

A late season collapse ensured Kansas
and coach Bonnie Henrickson wouldnt play
in their first NCAA Tournament since 2001.
But rather than hang their heads and dwell
on missed opportunities, Henrickson and
the Jayhawks are relishing the chance to
make their presence felt in the WNIT.
Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse Kansas
demolished Evansville 82-60 in the second
round of the WNIT to advance to a show-
down with Michigan State in East Lansing
on Thursday.
This is our NCAA Tournament, sopho-
more guard Sade Morris said.
The Jayhawks played like it, shooting 56
percent from the field while limiting the
Co-Missouri Valley Champion Purple Aces
to 30 percent for the game and 22 percent
shooting in the first half. Four different
Kansas players scored in double figures,
led by sophomore guard Danielle McCrays
20 points and seven rebounds on 9 of 16
shooting.
Danielle had a quiet 20, Henrickson
said of Kansas leading scorers first 20 point
game since February 12 against Colorado.
I was a little surprised when I looked and
she had 20.
McCray was joined in double figures
by Morris, sophomore guard Kelly Kohn
and freshman center Krysten Boogaard.
Morris, Kohn and Boogaard combined for
36 points, shot 14 of 17 from the field

trivia of the day
fact of the day
quote of the day
on tv tonight
Q: When was the last time
Kansas played a 12 seed in the
NCAA Tournament?
A: 2004 when the Jayhawks
faced of against the Pacifc
Boxers in the second round.
Kansas beat Pacifc 78-63 in
Kansas City, Mo., to advance
to the Sweet 16. The Jayhawks
will face their second 12-seed
in eight years Friday when they
meet the Villanova Wildcats.
Kansas basketball media guide
The last time Villanova
faced a one seed in the NCAA
Tournament was in 2005 when
the Wildcats played the North
Carolina Tarheels in the Sweet
16. Villanova hung with North
Carolina for most of the game
until the Tarheels pulled away
to win 67-66. North Carolina
went on to win the national
championship.

I think we all know now
the seeding doesnt mean
anything.

DORAL, Fla. Even some-
one like former U.S. Open cham-
pion Geoff Ogilvy can acknowl-
edge being a bit mesmerized by
seeing Tiger Woods win tourna-
ment after tournament after tour-
nament.
Its quite fun to watch, Ogilvy
said.
Sure, but it doesnt compare to
beating Woods especially when
the worlds No. 1 hasnt lost in six
months.
Ogilvy won the CA
Championship on Monday, sav-
ing a round that seemed in peril
with a chip-in for par at the 13th
hole and going on to claim his
second victory in a World Golf
Championship event. And not
only did Ogilvy take down Tiger,
he did it at Doral, where Woods
had won each of the past three
years.
So much for that perfect-sea-
son talk. The streak is over.
It was going to end at some
point, Ogilvy said. Im very glad
that I did it. Its a nice place to
do it, too, because hes obviously
owned this place for the last few
years. He just had one of those
weeks.
A final round of 1-under 71
with nothing but nine pars
Monday was enough for Ogilvy
to finish at 17 under, one shot
better than Retief Goosen, Jim
Furyk and Vijay Singh, who
all closed with 68s in the rain-
delayed tournament. Woods was
fifth at 15 under, losing for the
first time in six PGA Tour starts
and seven official ones worldwide,
not counting his win at the Target
World Challenge.
As players, its nice to see
somebody else lift a trophy for a
change, Goosen said.
With the win, Ogilvy joined
select company only Woods
(15) and Darren Clarke (two) have
more than one WGC title.

One coach who got ejected
and embarrassed gets a sec-
ond chance. Teams like Duke
and Georgetown are among
the many who dont.
The 64-team NCAA bracket
is down to 16 after Sundays
games, though many of
the story lines that existed
when the tournament began
those of prominent power-
houses, plucky underdogs and
fantastic freshmen are still
very much alive.
Weve been getting
everybodys best game, UCLA
coach Ben Howland said after
the Bruins barely escaped their
second-round game against
Texas A&M. Thats why this is
the greatest sporting event in
all of American sports, because
anybody can beat anybody.
But nobody could beat
the top seeds over the frst
weekend.
Kansas, Memphis and North
Carolina joined UCLA in mak-
ing it through. The Jayhawks
and Tar Heels did it most
impressively, winning their four
games by an average of 28.
Memphis and UCLA, mean-
while, looked vulnerable in
their second-round victories.
The Bruins, in fact, lost
two points on Sunday even
though they didnt play. NCAA
ofcials said the fnal score of
their Saturday-night win over
Texas A&M should be 51-49
instead of 53-49 because a
meaningless, last-second
dunk by Russell Westbrook
didnt come before the buzzer.
UCLAs next opponent in
the West Regional is West-
ern Kentucky, one of three
double-digit seeds remain-
ing in the tournament.
Upsets reigned in Tampa and
12th-seeded Villanova also
advanced out of the Midwest
Regional.

advantage of their slower oppo-
nents by driving repeatedly to the
hoop. The aggressive, guard-ori-
ented system resulted in 17 points
for Chalmers, 13 for senior guard
Russell Robinson and 10 for soph-
omore guard Sherron Collins.
It came natural, Robinson said.
We took it it was open, and an
easy layup was open for us.
Self s adjustment helped Kansas
expand its lead steadily through-
out the second half. The Jayhawks
advantage grew to 11 midway
through the second half and a
comfortable 19 by the end of the
game. Saturday afternoon, Self
advanced his Kansas squad to the
Sweet Sixteen for the second con-
secutive season and outcoached a
savvy veteran coach in UNLVs Lon
Kruger. And he did it while toying
with lineups and experimenting
with personnel.
Weve always tried to play two
bigs, and certainly today we did not
do that because we couldnt match
up with them, Self said. It was
encouraging to me to see us play a
different way and still have success
playing that way.
No matter which way Self s
Kansas teams have played slow,
fast, big or small theyve found
success. Forget the early exits from
the 2005 and 2006 NCAA tourna-
ments. The man has won 82 per-
cent of his games at Kansas, better
than any non-interim coach at the
school.
The one thing he hasnt done is
take the Jayhawks to the Final Four.
But a talented team and a brilliant
basketball mind should change that
soon enough.

TOKYOComplete games were
common for Daisuke Matsuzaka in
Japan.
Then he came to the United
States, where pitch counts and cau-
tion forced him out of games before
he wanted to leave. Red Sox man-
ager Terry Francona let him finish
just one of his 32 starts as a rookie
last year.
Its Year 2 of the Dice-K era and
Francona still isnt ready to give his
hardworking right-hander the ball
and let him keep it until the end.
So fans in his homeland are
bound to be disappointed Tuesday
night when Matsuzaka starts in
the opening game of the major
league season against the Oakland
Athletics. In 190 starts over eight
seasons with the Seibu Lions, he
completed 72 games.
If we were playing this game in
June, Id love to send him out there
and let him try to pitch a complete
game, like he probably wants to,
Francona said Monday. We just
probably cant shoot for that now.
Were still at a stage where youre
building arm strength.
Were just trying to mix and
match the competitive nature and
still gaining the strength for a long
season.
Too much work now can lead to
injuries later. The manager thinks
Dice-K can throw 90 pitches, pos-
sibly more but not much more.
Were not going to let him go
and go and go, Francona said.
And go and go and go some
more the way he did in 1998 when
he threw 250 pitches in a 17-inning
complete game in the Koshien
national high school tournament,
won by his school, Yokohama.
With Boston last year, his pitch
counts ranged from 72 to 130,
reaching 120 just six times.
Backup infielder Alex Cora is
confident Matsuzaka can improve
on his 15-12 record and 4.40 ERA
as a rookie.
The skys the limit, Cora said.
Hes going to make adjustments.
The hitters are going to make
adjustments. Hes used to it now. I
think hes going to have the upper
hand this year.
Joe Blanton starts for Oakland,
and manager Bob Geren doesnt
expect him to be intimidated by fac-
ing a national treasure of Japan.
He is a very good pitcher, Geren
said of Dice-K at a news conference
Monday with Blanton, and so is the
guy sitting next to me.
But if Matsuzaka can pitch long
enough to let Hideki Okajima and
Jonathan Papelbon finish with one
inning each, Francona would be
happy.
That would be about perfect.
We would need to have the lead
for that to happen, he said. Thats
what were shooting for. Thats the
formula.
Since the Red Sox arrived in
Tokyo early Friday morning,
Francona has been peppered with
questions from Japanese writ-
ers about whether Matsuzaka will
pitch a complete game. He has said
repeatedly that depends not only
on the number of pitches he throws
but on how hard he works if he gets
in trouble.
The adrenaline should be pump-
ing when he pitches in his home city
for the first time since he signed a
$52 million, six-year deal with the
Red Sox.
I think its an emotional game
for him because hes going to be
fired up and the crowds probably
going to be crazy and rooting for
him, Bostons Mike Lowell said,
which is good for us.
Just one regular-season game out
of 162 isnt as big as the 2006 World
Baseball Classic, when Matsuzaka
was the MVP after Japan won the
tournament. It certainly cant mea-
sure up to his strong performances
last year in Game 7 of the AL cham-
pionship series and Game 3 of the
World Series or playing in the 2004
Olympics in Australia.
Still, nerves can be a factor.
Its human nature in a big game
to be nervous, Lowell said. You
can be nervous and confident. But
this ice in your veins, man of steel, I
dont believe it. No ones this robot,
not Dice-K, not anyone.
The Red Sox and Athletics
each prepared with wins in exhi-
bition games against the Hanshin
Tigers and Yomiuri Giants. After
Wednesdays game, each team
has three more exhibition con-
tests Boston at the Los Angeles
Dodgers and Oakland against the
San Francisco Giants.
Then they wrap up the open-
ing four-game series in Oakland on
April 1 and 2.
But on Tuesday morning, fans
were expected to wake up early in
Boston to watch the game sched-
uled to begin at 6:07 a.m. EDT (7:07
p.m. in Tokyo). If they dont turn on
their television sets by 8 a.m., they
may not see Matsuzaka pitch at all.
We know theyll be watching,
Francona said. The game could be
played in the middle of the night.
They dont care. They want to watch
the Red Sox.

fnd same success in America

NEW YORKWhen Vogue
announced its April cover would
star LeBron James and Gisele
Bundchen, the magazine noted
with fanfare that James was the
first black man to grace its cover.
But the image is stirring up
controversy, with some com-
mentators decrying the photo as
perpetuating racial stereotypes.
James strikes what some see as a
gorilla-like pose, baring his teeth,
with one hand dribbling a ball
and the other around Bundchens
tiny waist.
Its an image some have lik-
ened to King Kong and Fay
Wray.
It conjures up this idea
of a dangerous black man,
said Tamara Walker, 29, of
Philadelphia.
Vogue spokesman Patrick
OConnell said the magazine
sought to celebrate two super-
stars at the top of their game
for the magazines annual issue
devoted to size and shape.
We think Lebron James and
Gisele Bundchen look beautiful
together and we are honored to
have them on the cover, he said.
James told The (Cleveland)
Plain Dealer he was pleased with
the cover, saying he was just
showing a little emotion.
Everything my name is on is
going to be criticized in a good
way or bad way, James told the
paper. Who cares what anyone
says?
But magazine analyst Samir
Husni believes the photo was
deliberately provocative, add-
ing that it screams King Kong.
Considering Vogues influential
history, he said, covers are not
something that the magazine
does in a rush.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.A
growing trend in all-you-can-
eat seating at sports venues is
making baseballs summer cho-
rus sound more like Take Me
Out to the Buffet.
Dozens of arenas, stadiums
and tracks have offered tick-
ets that come with unlimited
snacks. The seats have been a hit
with fans, a moneymaker for the
venues and a worry for obesity-
conscious health officials.
Instead of paying for a ticket
and multiple trips to the conces-
sion stand, the ticket includes
everything and costs about 50
percent more. Alcohol and des-
serts are sold separately.
I dont think youre ever
going to get your value from
it food-wise, but convenience-
wise, I think it is a heck of a lot
nicer than waiting in line for 20
minutes, said Drew Nurenberg,
30, of Malvern, Pa., who bought
all-you-can-eat seats with his
wife for a Philadelphia Flyers
game last month.
Nearly half of the 30 major
league baseball teams have added
the all-inclusive seats, and oth-
ers are looking into it. The NHL
has nine teams offering the deal;
the NBA has six. The idea has
not caught on with the NFL, but
NASCAR has put it in overdrive,
selling the tickets at multiple race-
tracks.
Fans get bargain grub, and the
venues are able to charge a pre-
mium for foods they already buy
cheap in bulk.
The result is like a giant hot dog
on a hook a way for teams to
lure new fans to their games or get
old ones to switch to higher-priced
sections. In the past, unlimited
food and drink was reserved for
luxury suites, which cost up to six
figures a year.
The Los Angeles Dodgers first
offered all-you-can-eat seats in
their right-field bleacher pavilion
last season.
AssocIATED PREss
Two fans take advantage of the newtickets, which ofer unlimited venue food, at the Los Angeles Dodgers game against Milwaukee Brewers in
Los Angeles. Fans in Right Field Pavilion got all the hot dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn, sodas and water they could eat with the purchase of their
game ticket. In recent years, dozens of arenas, stadiums and tracks have launched All You Can Eat seating.

Tournament, Colorado and Texas
Tech joined Kansas in the WNIT.
Eleven of the leagues 12 teams
advanced to the postseason, what
better way to get ready for postsea-
son play than to play 16 games in
the best and toughest conference
in all of womens basketball.
I really dont believe theres
much that we could see in this or
the NCAA Tournament that we
havent seen at some point and had
to prepare for at some point in this
league, Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks, who were 2-10
on the road during the regular sea-
son including an 0-8 road mark in
the Big 12, will surely face a tough
test Thursday night at Michigan
State in the Sweet 16 of the WNIT.
The Spartans were ranked early
in the season but faded down
the stretch in the tough Big 10
Conference. If the Jayhawks can
somehow win and reach the Elite
Eight, they hope to play host to
that game next Monday night at
Allen Fieldhouse.
We have nothing to lose,
Morris said. Were in this tour-
nament and we want to feel good
about ourselves and if we can win
the tournament, its going to give
us all the confidence in the world
for next year. It could definitely
happen. Anything can happen.
Kansas State, which won the
WNIT just two years ago, won
the Big 12 regular season champi-
onship this year so the Jayhawks
know it can be done. And accord-
ing to them, it will.
I dont really hope, I know that
by the time I leave here, they are
going to be saying our names up
on that NCAA bracket during the
watch party, Kohn said. Its going
to happen next year and the year
after that.
And after the pain of missing
out of the big dance this year,
the Jayhawks arent about to let it
happen again. But just for good
measure, they plan on winning the
little dance first.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Allen
Iverson had 26 points and seven
assists, while Carmelo Anthony fin-
ished with 23 points as the Denver
Nuggets used a big second half to
defeat the Memphis Grizzlies 120-
106 on Monday night.
J.R. Smith led the Nuggets, scor-
ing 25 of his 27 points in the fourth
quarter, as Denver stretched the
lead to as many as 22 in winning its
third straight. Smith was 8-of-10 in
the period, including seven outside
the arc.
Rudy Gay led Memphis with
30 points, while Hakim Warrick
finished with a season-high 29.
Mike Miller added 19 and Javaris
Crittenton 14.
Memphis led at halftime, but the
Nuggets outscored the Grizzlies 37-
22 in the third period to build their
lead to 14. Memphis was unable
to overcome the deficit, particu-
larly after Smith scored 16 points,
including 13 straight for Denver, by
the midway point of the fourth for
a 109-95 lead, matching Denvers
biggest margin of the night at that
point.
The loss snapped Memphis
two-game winning streak.
Denver, fighting for the last play-
off spot in the Western Conference,
trails Golden State by one game.
Memphis, which had won three
of its previous four, had no answer
for the Nuggets after halftime as
Denver connected on 24 of 40
shots. The Nuggets had built on
their lead in the third quarter.
Iverson led Denver with 11,
but was 3-of-11 from the field.
Anthony, Camby and Iverson were
a combined 8-of-25 in the half.
Denver had turned up the
defensive pressure to open the
second half, blocking shots and
causing Memphis turnovers. The
Nuggets shot better from the out-
side. Meanwhile, Memphis was
missing seven of it first eight shots
in the third period.
Anthony had 14 in the third
quarter, while Iverson added 11 as
the Nuggets pulled away for their
biggest lead at that point, 14 points,
and led 88-79 at the end of three
periods. The Nuggets didnt look
back in the fourth finishing out the
victory by 14.

and 5 of 5 from three point
range. Overall, Kansas made 9
of 13 three point attempts while
limiting Evansville to a 6 for 26
performance beyond the arc.
Its just giving different
looks, McCray said. They can
take away me, but then my team-
mates can do something.
The Jayhawks ball movement
and efficiency on the offensive
end tore the Purple Aces defense
apart. Though Evansville alter-
nated between zone and man-
to-man defense in the first half,
Kansas recorded 14 assists on
18 field goals to go to the locker
room with a 41-25 advantage.
Henrickons team finished the
same way they started, ending
up with 22 assists while limit-
ing themselves to 13 turnovers,
more than six under their season
average.
Junior guard Ivana Catic led
Kansas with seven assists, and
three others finished with more
than three assists. Henrickson
half-jokingly said she hadnt
thought her team would learn to
protect the basketball all season.
That has been a red light for
us, sophomore guard LaChelda
Jacobs said. Going into the
WNIT, it was a clean slate. We
just came in with the mind-set
that we are not going to harp
on the pass, and come out and
get a win.
The Purple Aces only led once
after scoring the opening bucket
of the game, but began chipping
away at the Jayhawks lead in
the second half. Though a 14-6
run brought Evansville within
13 at 56-43, Kansas responded
with a 10-0 stretch of its own to
effectively put the game out of
reach. McCray scored seven of
the Jayhawks 10 points.
Henricksons only com-
plaint was her teams complete
inability to keep the undersized
Purple Aces off the offensive
glass. Evansville hauled down
24 offensive rebounds despite
no starter measuring more than
6-foot-1. Although Evansville
couldnt take advantage of the
extra opportunities, Michigan
State wont be so kind on
Thursday.
The Spartans boast a formi-
dable rebounding weapon in 6-
foot-9 sophomore center Allyssa
DeHaan. Henrickson said she
was disappointed in her teams
effort on the boards and warned
they wouldnt advance against
Michigan State with a repeat
performance on the boards. But
like her players, she said she
was happy to have another two
weeks of practice to work with
and the opportunity to continue
their postseason run.
Its great, she said. Survive
and advance.
Chest pAiNt
For the first time this sea-
son, fans in Allen Fieldhouse
painted their chests in support
of their team. Surprisingly, it
wasnt the Jayhawk faithful who
bared their fandom for all to
see. That honor fell to a group
of 15 traveling Evansville fans
who created a human billboard
in support of the Missouri Valley
Co-Champions. The group was
part of a busload of Purple
Aces supporters who traveled
to Lawrence for Monday nights
second round WNIT game.

Sophomore guard LaChelda
Jacobs streak of three con-

Catic returned to coach Bonnie
Henricksons starting five.
Henrickson said attitude prob-

bench.
CleAriNg the BeNCh
With 2:22 remaining the sec-
ond half, Henrickson went to
a place she has rarely gone this
season: the end of the Kansas
bench. Sophomore forward
Rebecca Feickert made her first
appearance this season while
junior Marija Zinic and Katie
Smith made rare appearances.

All season, coach Bonnie
Henricksons team could never stop
helping out the other team. Even in
victory the Jayhawks turned the
ball over an upward of 20 times but
narrowly escaped.
Monday night Henrickson found
out what happens when her squad
replaces too many mistakes with 22
assists and only 13 turnovers. The
result is an 82-60 victory.
While happy with the results,
Henrickson admitted that she
didnt think Kansas turnover num-
bers would cease.
No, not in my lifetime at Kansas
I didnt think it would, Henrickson
joked.
Truthfully, it was only the sec-
ond fewest turnovers committed
by the Jayhawks this season. But
with the way things went at the
end of the season they averaged
21 turnovers in the last two games
its hard to blame her for doubt-
ing that the team would turn it

conference team
Mid-Major CoMplex
After Monday nights loss,
Evansville is now 0-8 all-time
against the Big 12. This was the
Purple Aces first game with a Big
12 opponent since 2004. All night
the Co-MVC champions were
physically outmatched by the big-
ger and faster Jayhawks.
Kohn-ing hoMe
Thursdays game at Michigan St.
will be a road trip home for sopho-
more guard Kelly Kohn. The soph-
omore is originally from Adrian,
Mich., 45-60 minutes south of
East Lansing. The timing couldnt
be better for Kohn, who had one
of her best games of the season
on Monday with 10 points, four
rebounds and three assists.
Im so excited because I defi-
nitely feel like Ive gotten back into
my offensive rhythm and flow,
Kohn said.
Kohn called her mom immedi-
ately after the game to confirm that
she already had her tickets. She also
estimated that half of her graduat-
ing class enrolled at Michigan St.
and could make an appearance on
Thursday.

Colorado Rockies slugger
sets the bar for himself
TUCSON, Ariz. Matt Holliday
wiped the sweat from his closely
shaved head as he sauntered to
the plate for a round of batting
practice at Hi Corbett on Monday.
The Colorado Rockies slugger
wiggled his bat, almost in perfect
rhythm with the blaring country
music, before sending a pitch
sailing toward a towering tree
well beyond the center feld fence,
then another pitch deep over the
scoreboard in left.
His teammates, standing be-
hind the cage, became more vocal
with every blast of his bat.
Theyre used to his mighty
swing by now, but still cant help
marveling at his potent power.
He can hit it a long way,
catcher Yorvit Torrealba said.
Holliday put together an
impressive ofensive display last
season, hitting .340 with 36 hom-
ers and 137 RBIs. The two-time All
Star became just the ffth player
since 1949 to lead the NL in both
batting average and RBIs in the
same season.
So, how does he top a season
like that?
Holliday doesnt even think
about it.
Im not trying to repeat any-
thing, said Holliday, who fnished
runner-up to Jimmy Rollins in the
NL MVP race. Im just trying to get
better. I want to go out there and
do the best I can. Im not worried
about my numbers.
However, hes set the bar high
for himself. Holliday hit 14 points
higher, had two more homers and
drove in 23 more runs than his
breakout season in 2006.
Once you do it once, they
expect you to do it every year,
Todd Helton said. If you dont, its
going to be considered a bad year.
Sometimes, thats not fair. But
Matthews capable of going out
and doing better than he did last
year. Hes capable of putting up
even better numbers.

Freshman center Krysten Boogaard scrambles for a loose ball during the second half of the
game. Boogaard recorded a double-double scoring 10 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, in 29
minutes. The Hawks outscored the Aces 38-26 in the paint for the game.
WoMens basKetball notes
around. Henrickson wasnt the
only one surprised by the perfor-
mance, either.
I looked at the stat sheet and
was like, Wow, 13 turnovers,
sophomore guard Danielle
McCray said. We were all excit-
ed because thats a sign of prog-
ress for us and it shows how hard
weve been working on making
the easy passes.
Easy passes and smart
plays helped Kansas overcome
Evansville and advance to the
third round of the WNIT, but
sophomore guard Sade Morris
wondered why it didnt come a
little earlier.
We were just waiting, Morris
said. Some practices we would
do really well with the turnovers
and others we would do really
bad, so we were like Man, when
is this going to come?
Tonight we took our time,
made better decisions and I think
we finally understand when peo-
ple are going to be open and
when to throw the ball.
Henrickson noticed that her
team was not only playing smart-
er, but the Jayhawks were playing
with pride that she hasnt seen for
a while.
Thats what we talked about,
take some pride in your handles
and take some pride in your abil-
ity to make a pass and finish a
play, Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks shot a season
high 69.2 percent from beyond
the arc, led by a 3-for-3 perfor-
mance from Morris. A big rea-
son for that spike in long dis-
tance connections was making
one more pass to find the open
shooter.
When someone makes the
extra pass, I bet most teams
shoot 80 percent on that shot
because you feel good about it,
Henrickson said. You know
someone has really worked hard
to set you up in your rhythm and
your timing and we made most of
those shots tonight.
Only two Kansas players had
three or more turnovers while
five had at least three assists. At
the top of that list with seven
assists was junior guard Ivana
Catic, who made her first start in
four games after being replaced
at point guard by sophomore
LaChelda Jacobs.
Catic took advantage of her
second chance, much like the
Jayhawks reveled in their oppor-
tunity to shine in the postseason.
Its all about making the most
of your opportunity, Henrickson
said. Whether its a kid in your
program or a team in a tourna-
ment.

The Florida Spring Classic was
supposed to give Kansas a chance
to fine-tune its pitching, hitting
and defense. Instead, it may have
revealed some glaring weaknesses.
In particular, the ineffectiveness
of Kansas starting pitching was
startling. To make matters worse,
Kansas arms received little help
from their defense. And, worst
of all, little time remains for the
Jayhawks (15-9) to improve in
these areas.
Our starting pitchings got to do
a better job of getting us to the sixth
inning with a chance to win, and
those are experienced guys, Kansas
coach Ritch Price said. I think
thats what were most disappointed
in right now.
Excluding freshman right-hand-
er T.J. Walzs 6.2-inning, one-run,
five-strikeout performance en route
to victory against UMBC, Kansas
was forced to play from behind in
every game of the classic.
Senior right-handers Hiarali
Garcia and Andres Esquibel, junior
left-hander Nick Czyz, and soph-
omore left-handers Shaeffer Hall
and Wally Marciel combined to
allow 31 runs in just 21 innings
of work.
Junior left-hander Sam Freeman
(3-0), whose spot in the rotation
was skipped because of Saturdays
rain outs, will get the first chance
to redeem the Kansas pitching staff
this week. He will start todays 3
p.m. game against Chicago State
(3-15).
Freeman pitched just one inning
of relief on Sunday, allowing two
runs to score. Because Freeman
only pitched an inning during the
weekend, Price hopes, by throwing
him today, hell be ready to pitch
next Sunday against Texas A&M.
Garcia (1-0), who allowed four
runs in 4.2 innings to Central
Connecticut State last week, is slat-
ed to start Wednesdays game.
However, Hall (1-1) might also
get a start during the midweek if
Price is able to add a third game
with Chicago State. Kansas has had
three games cancelled this season
and, although Price added Saint
Mary on April 2, hes now scram-
bling to make up Saturdays cancel-
lations.
Regardless of how many games
Kansas plays this week, Price would
like to see his team improve in the
field. The Jayhawks committed 13
errors last week, including four on
Sunday.
As any pitcher would attest to,
its easier to pitch with a steady
defense in the field. Improved
defense could be just what Kansas
pitching staff needs to feel more
comfortable on the mound.
One thing that should help ease
Jayhawk pitchers minds is the
production Kansas is getting on
offense.
I think were hitting pretty
solid, senior right-fielder Ryne
Price said. Mostly executing with
runners in scoring position and
having quality at bats throughout
the game are the areas where we
need to improve.
Kansas scored 45 runs last week
and that kind of output only figures
to continue considering Kansas
outscored Chicago State 45-7 in
four games last season.
Junior catcher Buck Afenir was
the offensive star Sunday against
Northwestern. Price moved Afenir
to the cleanup spot in the order and
he responded by going three-for-
five with two runs, five RBI and his
third home run of the season.
Junior first baseman Preston
Land had been Kansas regu-
lar cleanup hitter, but with a .254
batting average entering Sunday,
he was moved down the order.
However, Lands .389 on-base per-
centage still puts Afenirs to shame.
Even with a .321 batting average,
Afenirs on-base percentage is .345
next-to-last among Kansas reg-
ulars.
Basically, where hes at, he
doesnt walk very much so his on-
base percentage isnt very good,
Price said. We put him in that spot
because he does have the ability
to be physical with the bat and to
knock in runs. The second thing
is Prestons really struggling, so Im
going to try to drop him down in
the lineup and see if he can get
more fastballs and pitches to hit.
