    Obituary
    lawrence
    By Elliot MEtz
    emetz@kansan.com
    When Hollie Farrahi met Eric
    Bittlingmayer during her fresh-
    man year, there was one thing she
    noticed almost immediately.
    He had a really infectious laugh,
    said Farrahi, a junior from Kansas
    City, Mo. He was always happy and
    things were always pretty effortless
    with him.
    Bittlingmayer, a sophomore from
    Lawrence who died last weekend,
    was known among his friends for
    many things, especially his friendli-
    ness and intelligence.
    Brianna Heard, a junior from
    Lawrence, said Ever since I met
    him in junior high at Bishop
    Seabury, Eric was always incredibly
    intelligent.
    Bittlingmayer graduated from
    high school one and a half years
    early in 2006. When he arrived
    at the University of Kansas, he
    excelled in academic life.
    He was always so motivated,
    Farrahi said. He thought he was
    invincible.
    Bittlingmayer had a wide vari-
    ety of interests, including travel,
    politics, and technology. He also
    enjoyed cycling, basketball, base-
    ball, and running.
    Bittlingmayer was working on a
    Bachelor of Sciences degree with
    honors in Biochemistry, and he was
    planning to attend law school after
    his anticipated 2011 graduation.
    Friends of Bittlingmayer said he
    loved the idea of a new challenge.
    I remember he just decided to
    take the LSAT one time on a whim,
    and he did really well on it, Farrahi
    said. He was really excited about
    law school, he loved the logic of it.
    According to his personal web-
    site, Bittlingmayer held a 3.61
    GPA and was a National Society
    of Collegiate Scholars honoree. He
    also was a note-taker for Disability
    Resources.
    He always cared about people
    so much, Farrahi said. It made
    him happy when his friends were
    happy.

    What originally started as a
    class project turned into a fund-
    raiser concert for Joe College, 734
    Massachusetts St., Thursday night.
    Seven Kansas City and Lawrence
    bands performed at the Granada
    in a concert to raise support for
    the business.
    Hollie Farrahi, a junior from
    Kansas City, Mo., chose to study
    Joe College for a strategic commu-
    nications class project and had to
    build a campaign for the business.
    Her group came up with the idea
    for the fundraiser and followed
    through with it this semester.
    Farrahi, project coordinator,
    said she wanted the event to build
    community support and to be a
    fun thing for students to do on a
    Thursday night.
    Its kind of like a help out the
    little man thing, she said. We
    want to make the focus really local
    and its a positive thing.
    Farrahi said the event wasnt
    about negative sentiments sur-
    rounding the legal battle between
    Joe College and Kansas Athletics
    Inc. that have been going on for
    the past few years.
    In September a federal judge
    ruled that Larry Sinks owed
    Kansas Athletics Inc. $667,507 in
    attorney fees in addition to the
    $127,337 in damages for trade-
    mark infringement.
    Jim Marchiony, associate ath-
    letics director, said profits from
    trademarks are submitted through
    the athletic department, but
    a portion is given back to the
    University.
    He said $1.8 million came
    through athletics from trademarks
    and $752,456 was given directly

    Michael Austin, a senior fromLawrence, left, and Charles Martinez, a doctoral student in music fromWichita, rehearse Monday afternoon for the opera, The Rakes Progess. The frst live performance is scheduled for Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m., at Robert BaustianTheatre in Murphy Hall.

    search for
    their voice
    By Alison CUMBoW
    alisonc@kansan.com
    When he was born, the frst thing
    Michael Austins dad did was rock him
    in his arms and sing Te Eagles Hotel
    California. Although Austin doesnt re-
    member his fathers song, it obviously
    made a lasting impression. Twenty-one
    years later, Austin spends most of his
    time in Murphy Hall in pursuit of a
    bachelors degree in music performance.
    He is also training to become an opera
    singer.
    Not long ago, Sasha Cooke was chas-
    ing her opera dreams. On Sunday the
    mezzo-soprano will be performing at the
    Lied Center. Cooke received her masters
    degree from Te Juilliard School, and
    graduated from the Lindemann Young
    Artist Development Program of the
    Metropolitan Opera. At 24, Cooke has
    been there and done that when it comes
    to being an opera student.
    Austin said his dream was to be hired
    with an opera company in New York,
    and to eventually get an agent. In the
    meantime, he will keep practicing and
    learning as much as possible until his in-
    strument his voice matures.
    I have to wait for my voice to decide
    what its going to do, he said. Some-
    times it can be really frustrating, there
    are infnitely more things that I cant sing
    right now than I can.
    Until Austins voice fully develops
    likely in his late 20s or early 30s get-
    ting to a breakout moment in opera will
    be a waiting game.
    Austin joined choir in 11th grade as a
    way to earn a trip to Disney World. Afer
    graduating, he began taking private voice
    lessons. Despite his preparation, Austin
    didnt get into the voice program in KU
    School of Music as a freshman.

    KUlture
    BY BRENDAN ALLEN
    ballen@kansan.com
    As the years first batch of snow
    melts, a series of transformations
    spread throughout campus. Snow
    boots turn into tennis shoes and
    muddy foot trails turn into side-
    walks.
    At the center of KUs winter won-
    derland was the Campanile Hill:
    A frost-covered dream come true
    for Lawrence sledders. Armed
    with everything from circle sleds to
    lunch trays or even canoes, students
    welcome the long-time tradition of
    throwing themselves down the hill
    at breakneck speeds year after year.
    In fact, some students build
    enough excitement that they begin
    planning for their fun weeks in
    advance.
    I bought a sled way back in
    November, so I was ready, Maggie
    Gremminger, a senior from
    Shawnee, said. Every year when
    it snows I want to get sleds, but Ive
    always been too late. Theyre always
    sold out.
    When the snow finally hit
    Lawrence, Gremminger wasted no
    time getting out to the hills. At 2
    a.m., shortly after the first snow
    hit Lawrence, Gremminger and her
    boyfriend took to the slopes.
    It was a romantic date for us, we
    didnt invite anyone, Gremminger
    said. There was no one there, since
    it was in the middle of the storm.
    We had the whole hill to ourselves.
    Campus sledding isnt always
    known for its serenity though.
    With the mixture of crowds of sleds
    and freezing conditions, the faint
    of heart may find the slopes to be
    more extreme than expected.
    One of my friends and I went
    sledding down the Campanile and
    the hill right behind Strong Hall,
    Jordan Boyd, a sophomore from
    Topeka, said. It was really intense
    because the snow had melted the
    day before and then re-frozen dur-
    ing the night, so it was really slick
    to sled on.
    Occasionally with all the frosty
    merriment, sledders throw caution
    to the wind.
    I dont know how many times we
    had to bail so we didnt rocket into
    a tree or go over a sidewalk, Boyd
    said. My friend actually went as far
    as Potters lake once and couldnt
    stop himself before he slid onto the
    ice. Thank goodness he didnt fall
    through.
    Not everyone can be so lucky,
    however. Belinda Rehmer, commu-
    nications coordinator for Lawrence
    Memorial Hospital said that as of
    Jan. 12, the hospital has seen 11
    sledding-specific injuries and acci-
    dents since Jan. 1.
    Rehmer said the culprit was a
    lack of common sense.
    Avoid being stupid, Rehmer
    said. If theres a lot of people sled-
    ding at once, it would be smart to
    avoid the congested area. Youll run
    into each other.
    Campus sledding continues to
    thrive, through bruises and all.

    The University daily
    kansan has joined other
    state student media and
    organizations represent-
    ing students in support of
    dodge city reporter claire
    oBrien.
    The Associated Press
    reported yesterday that
    oBrien has been subpoe-
    naed as a potential witness
    at the trial of a man accused
    of second degree murder.
    The state supreme court
    asked oBrien to provide
    her notes documenting an
    interview she conducted.
    oBrien received notice of
    the subpoena Wednesday
    on behalf of ford county
    Attorney Terry malone,
    who has also pressed that
    she reveal the identity of a
    confdential source.
    Attorney mark Johnson
    fled a motion for leave to
    fle amicus brief Thursday
    on behalf of the kansas
    Associated collegiate
    Press, the kansas scholastic
    Association, The Univer-
    sity daily kansan and the
    kansas state collegian. The
    motion is a request that all
    organizations participate as
    an amici curiae, which is a
    Latin phase that tranlates to
    friend of the court. John-
    son is also an instructor at
    The University of kansas
    where he teaches a course
    about the first Amendment.
    We are supporting
    claire oBrien because as a
    student newspaper, we are
    strong proponents of the
    first Amendment, stephen
    montemayor, Editor-in-
    chief of The kansan and
    senior from mission, said. if
    one of our reporters were
    in a similar situation, we
    would hope to be aforded
    the same support by our
    peers.
    oBrien has been ordered
    to appear at the trial on feb.
    25 through march 5.

    STUDY AbRoAD
    Program educates on environment
    BY ZACH GETZ
    zgetz@kansan.com
    Instead of going to Europe or
    some other standard spot to study
    abroad, Chelsea Cooley traveled
    to an area with no running water
    and little electricity a small
    southeastern Indian village in the
    Sadhana Forest.
    I didnt even know where I
    would be sleeping, said Cooley, a
    senior from Kansas City, Mo. It
    turned out I would be sleeping in
    an open environment that was very
    humid and hot.
    Cooley discovered the University
    of Massachusetts Amherst program
    online that would take her to the
    community. The program allowed
    her to get hands-on experience
    reforesting desolated land.
    Instead of studying and attend-
    ing class in an air-conditioned
    room, Cooley said she spent most
    of her time outdoors.
    To keep a community like that
    running, you really have to do a lot
    of manual labor, Cooley said.
    She helped dig ditches to catch
    rainwater and raise the watershed
    in the area to keep the soil moist.
    This land had desertification
    and was destroyed because peo-
    ple had tried to use it for things
    that it wasnt meant for, Cooley
    said. This project has only been
    around for six years and theres
    now a forest there and tall plants
    when nothing was there before.
    Cooley said projects such as the
    one in the Sadhana Forest were
    important for the environment
    and reforesting once barren land
    was possible.
    There is damage that has been
    done, but we really have power to
    repair the damage, Cooley said.
    Because the Sadhana Forest
    qualifies as an eco-village, Cooley
    said, the goal of the entire village
    was environmental stability.
    This place fulfills that goal
    because its a vegan community,
    and animal and animal byproducts
    contribute to global warming in so
    many ways, Cooley said. They
    are also reforesting the area, using
    biodegradable products, dont have
    running water and the electricity is
    all solar.
    Without luxuries like trash dis-
    posal services and running water,
    Cooley said, she realized how much
    waste Americans produce.
    Although Cooley will receive
    school credit for her time spent
    in India, the eco-village volunteers
    werent all students.
    There were maybe 100 vol-
    unteers, and maybe only 10 were
    students, Cooley said. The rest
    were just people from around the
    world that stumbled on this strange
    place.
    While Cooleys trip was not
    sponsored by the University of
    Kansas, the University is offering
    a six-week environmental studies
    program for the first time this sum-
    mer.
    Robert Lopez, outreach coordi-
    nator for the study abroad office,
    said that several students have
    expressed interest in the new pro-
    gram.
    Were catering it to environ-
    mental studies, biology, geography,
    ecology and evolutionary biology,
    Lopez said.
    Program director Geetanjali
    Tiwari said the program would
    give students a chance to do field
    work and see a tropical ecosystem
    with an ancient history.

    A signifcant step was made last
    week in the fght to legalize mari-
    juana in California, when the As-
    sembly Public Safety Committee
    passed State Rep. Tom Ammianos
    bill to legalize and regulate pot
    usage. Although the bill is tech-
    nically dead because it did not
    meet the deadline for approval by
    another committee, many say his-
    tory is in the making.
    Tis is the frst time a bill of
    this kind was heard and passed
    in a committee, said Quintin
    Mecke, communications director
    for State Rep. Ammiano. Weve
    made quite a bit of progress with
    this issue.
    It is likely that attention will
    shif to the Tax Cannabis 2010
    initiative planned for the Novem-
    ber ballot. If passed, adults over 21
    will be able to possess up to one
    ounce of marijuana and to cul-
    tivate a small amount for them-
    selves. Cities and counties would
    individually decide whether or
    not to tax the drug.
    Te California chapter of the
    National Organization to Re-
    form Marijuana Laws (NORML)
    estimates that a legally regulated
    market for marijuana could yield
    the state at least $1.2 billion in tax
    revenues and reduced enforce-
    ment costs.
    It doesnt make sense for Cali-
    fornia to be paying money to ar-
    rest and imprison people when
    they could be making money by
    taxing marijuana, said Dale Gei-
    ringer, state coordinator of Cali-
    fornia NORML.
    Many groups oppose the legal-
    ization of marijuana for health
    and safety reasons, however. Te
    International Faith-Based Coali-
    tion led a rally last Tuesday pro-
    testing Ammianos bill.
    Like tobacco and alcohol,
    theres no real way to regulate
    marijuana usage, said Taknesha
    Allen, youth representative for
    the International Faith-Based Co-
    alition. Te International Faith-
    Based Coalition plans to continue
    to fght marijuana legalization.
    I dont think that in our des-
    perate times we should become
    drug dealers, Allen said. We
    shouldnt legalize stupidity at the
    risk of everyones lives.
    Te question of the carcino-
    genic efects of marijuana is also a
    topic of debate. Marijuana smoke
    is on Californias list of known
    carcinogens, but advocates for
    legalization insist that it is safer
    than tobacco or alcohol.
    Tere are so many deaths each
    year attributed to tobacco and al-
    cohol, Mecke said. Tere have
    been zero deaths ever attributed
    solely to the use of marijuana.

    Activist group to protest Islamic campus event
    NATIoNAL
    CollEGE NEws NETwork
    A newly formed activist group
    plans to protest an Islamic groups
    campus involvement at Oklahoma
    University Saturday.
    The recently formed group,
    called Oklahomans Against CAIR
    Hate, said the Council on American
    Islamic Relations (CAIR) is linked
    to terrorist activities overseas. The
    group wants to expose CAIR for
    what they see as a sponsor of ter-
    rorism, especially on the OU cam-
    pus.
    CAIR tries to portray itself as
    an innocuous civil rights organiza-
    tion, but it is not, Cindy Crenshaw,
    Oklahomans Against CAIR Hate
    president, stated on the groups
    website.
    But Roberta Clark, associate
    regional director for the Anti-
    Defamation League, said her orga-
    nization does not see CAIR as a
    terrorist group with terrorist con-
    nections.
    Ahmad Khattab, president of the
    OU Muslim Student Association,
    said the protesters do not under-
    stand what CAIR is and what it
    does.
    Weve worked with CAIR for
    many years, and theyve been very
    helpful in improving the image of
    Islam and Muslims in America,
    Khattab said. When these people
    come on campus to protest CAIR,
    I feel they are attacking me person-
    ally.
    Khattab said the groups accusa-
    tions against CAIR do more harm
    than good.
    CAIR really does do posi-
    tive things, and by throwing out
    rumors and false accusations, they
    are showing that they are just here
    to be hateful, Khattab said.
    The protest is scheduled to take
    place at the Oklahoma Memorial
    Union at 7 p.m. Saturday, but lan-
    guage on the website suggests the
    group will try to disrupt the CAIR
    sponsored event in Meachum
    Auditorium that evening.
    I hope that instead of disrupt-
    ing the event and being rude, they
    would be willing to sit down and
    talk about our differences and clear
    some things up, Khattab said.

    received a $25,000 grant by
    the Chase Community Giving
    Group through a facebook
    competition.
    Kids and Cars works to

    injured or killed in and around
    cars. Half a million charities en-
    tered the contest in November
    but only 100 groups advanced
    to the second round. Kids and
    Cars volunteer manager Amber
    rollins said the group was the
    only in Kansas to make the top
    100. The group that receives
    the most votes from support-
    ers will be awarded $1 million,

    LOS ANGELES Ending his
    brief reign as host of one of tele-
    visions longest-running shows,
    Conan OBrien on Thursday final-
    ized a rich severance deal with
    NBC that releases the comedian
    from The
    Tonight Show
    and frees him
    to join another
    network in time
    for the new fall
    season, an NBC
    spokeswoman
    confirmed.
    The settle-
    ment, hammered out over the last
    week, brings to an abrupt end
    OBriens nearly 20-year career
    with NBC, where he began as a
    staff writer for Saturday Night
    Live in the late 1980s. His separa-
    tion from NBC includes a payout
    that will go down as one of the
    most eye-popping in the annals of
    Hollywood: OBrien, who has two
    years remaining on his contract,
    will walk away with about $32
    million, according to people close
    to the negotiations who spoke on
    condition of anonymity because
    they were not authorized to dis-
    cuss the matter publicly.
    Overall, NBC will have to shell
    out $40 million to $50 million to
    close the book on its late-night
    drama.
    NBC agreed to compensate
    the shows staff members, includ-
    ing executive producer Jeff Ross.
    About 190 people worked on the
    show, including nearly 70 peo-
    ple who relocated to Los Angeles
    from New York early last year to
    work with OBrien at the pro-
    grams newly built studios on the
    Universal lot. NBC and OBriens
    team spent the last few days iron-
    ing out severance packages for all
    the shows workers.
    OBriens manager, Gavin
    Polone, said the talk show host
    would kick in some of his own
    money for his staff as well.
    OBriens final Tonight Show
    appearance will be Friday. But he
    may not be off the air for long.
    The comedian will be allowed to
    work on a competing network
    by September. Jay Leno will be
    back in his old time slot even
    sooner. Leno, who surrendered
    The Tonight Show to OBrien
    last spring and then was handed
    his own prime-time show on the
    network at 10 p.m., will return
    to late night after NBCs Olympic
    coverage concludes at the end of
    February.
    The costly
    resolution ends
    two weeks of
    high drama
    that damaged
    the images
    and reputa-
    tions not only
    of NBC execu-
    tives, but also of
    Leno, who was
    painted as the villain by many in
    the media, including CBS David
    Letterman, who took numerous
    jabs at Leno during the last week.
    He was also the target of a grass-
    roots Internet campaign to dem-
    onstrate support for the embattled
    OBrien. Earlier this week, Leno
    provided his side of the story on
    his program, saying he told NBC
    executives that he was skeptical
    that a prime-time show would
    work.
    It was an undignified end to
    OBriens long career at NBC
    he spent 16 years as host of
    Late Night With Conan OBrien
    and his short tenure at The
    Tonight Show. Certainly this
    was not how NBC anticipated
    OBriens run with The Tonight
    Show playing out when it declared
    him the king of late night in June
    after he made his debut as host.
    Meanwhile, Leno, whose prime-
    time show ends Feb. 11, will face
    the challenge of improving on
    OBriens ratings. NBC has been
    trailing CBS David Letterman
    and is tied with him in the cov-
    eted demographic of adults ages
    18 to 49. During the last week,
    OBriens ratings have nearly dou-
    bled. Whether
    the backlash
    against Leno,
    fair or not, will
    hurt him when
    he returns to
    his old 11:35
    p.m. time slot
    remains a ques-
    tion mark.
    And finally,
    NBC, which is
    already enduring a tough season,
    now has to spend heavily to devel-
    op new shows for the 10 p.m. hour,
    at a time when the General Electric
    Co.-owned network already con-
    ceded that it would lose about
    $200 million on its coverage of the
    Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

    FRIDAY
    SATURDAY
    SUNDAY
    F
    irst, I know what youre
    thinking: Stuff KU Students
    Like? That sounds an awful
    lot like the title of the popular and
    humorous blog/book Stuff White
    People Like Did he steal that
    idea?
    Well, of course. But I prefer to
    call it creative homage to previ-
    ously-used material, or laziness.
    Its all about perspective.
    Dont look down on me. After
    all, its hard to get through school
    without a little help from others
    especially when it comes to food.
    More simply, KU students like free
    food.
    Free food comes in many forms.
    Its important to be knowledgeable
    about all of these sources in order
    to have a successful college career.
    As any good KU student should
    know, the best sources of free
    food are the School Year Kick-off
    Event. Throughout the first month
    of the school year, campus groups,
    churches and businesses throw
    barbecues and potlucks.
    The goal of these events is to
    entice starving young students to
    pledge their loyalty to the particu-
    lar group in exchange for a pulled
    pork sandwich and a juice box.
    Its proven to be a highly effective
    strategy.
    Kick-off events are also great
    ways to sustain yourself for weeks
    without buying any of your own
    food. Thats why I spend the
    entire month of July creating a
    School-Year-Kick-Off-Free-Food-
    Strategic-Sustenance Plan (or
    SYKOFFSSP).
    The SYKOFFSSP includes times
    and locations of these events, any
    non-perishable items to take home
    and freeze and even possible gas-
    tronomical complications.
    As the school year progresses,
    however, free food becomes more
    scarce. This is when the real work
    begins.
    A KU student can either cave
    in and focus on studying and
    working a real job to buy my own
    food as my friends like to call it.
    Or he/she can commit to finding
    every decent food giveaway pos-
    sible.
    This could include weekly cam-
    pus group meetings, a nonprofit
    group raising awareness or the
    dumpster behind the Underground,
    although this is not technically a
    giveaway, as the manager has firm-
    ly pointed out to me several times.
    Insiders tip: Boring classes are a
    great time to research potential free
    food sources. Philosophy might
    be enlightening, but not nearly as
    rewarding as 17 chicken wings at
    the community poetry reading.
    In the hunt for free food its also
    important to lower your culinary
    standards. For example, I usually
    dont go for lukewarm, boiled hot
    dogs. But, if theyre free, you can
    be sure Im going home with about
    two dozen in my backpack.
    Finally, if a KU student gets
    extremely desperate for free food,
    a trip home can be a great last
    resort. If your parents live within a
    days drive, a strategically planned
    trip home can keep you from starv-
    ing until those Good Luck with
    Finals! snacks start popping up.
    I even created a simple math-
    ematical equation for optimum
    parental food donations: (Cubic
    feet of your parents freezer) +
    (Number of hugs given to mother)
    x(Grade Point Average)/(Number
    of siblings) = [Average volume of
    food received.]
    I got a B+ in high school calcu-
    lus, so you can trust that equation.
    So, in dedicating yourself to
    gaining some real life skills this
    semester, be sure to include the
    skill of earning food without, you
    know, working.
    After all, if you give a KU stu-
    dent a fish, he eats for a day, but
    if you send him to the weekly fish
    fry, he should stuff the fish in his
    pocket and run home to freeze
    those suckers.

    Petterson is a Prairie Village
    sophomore in journalism.
    R
    ecently there has been
    heavy national cover-
    age on the case Perry v.
    Schwarzenegger before the San
    Francisco district court. The case
    has involved debate of Proposition
    8, the controversial California law
    banning gay marriage.
    To many students, this case
    may not seem relevant to their
    lives. It is, after all, in California.
    Whats more, people outside of
    the LGBT community may not
    think the issue affects them.
    That assumption is far from
    the truth. The ongoing battle over
    Proposition 8 has everything to do
    with the basic rights of individuals
    in the United States.
    The outcome of the San
    Francisco case has the potential to
    change state laws and jurisdiction
    regarding gay marriage and other
    human rights issues.
    The case is about more than gay
    rights; it is about whether a state
    can restrict the rights of people.
    In 2005, voters in Kansas passed
    an amendment per referendum
    banning same sex marriage, simi-
    lar to Californias Proposition 8.
    Now, 30 states prohibit gay mar-
    riage.
    Neither the state nor federal
    government can define marriage
    in religious terms, as that would
    be a breech of separation of
    church and state. Therefore, deny-
    ing any individual the right to
    marry because of sexuality is dis-
    criminatory.
    A church may certainly refuse
    to recognize a marriage. The gov-
    ernment should not.
    Some advocates of Proposition
    8 may not understand or agree
    that gay marriage is a human
    rights concern. Perhaps it helps to
    think about the issue as analogous
    to racial discrimination.
    As everyone knows, for a long
    period in U.S. history, there was
    discrimination by the government
    against people because of race.
    This included denying the right to
    interracial marriage.
    The Supreme Court case Loving
    v. Virginia declared Virginias
    Racial Integrity Act unconsti-
    tutional and overturned the
    previous case Pace v. Alabama,
    which outlawed interracial mar-
    riage. Therefore, states could
    not supersede certain unwritten
    rights still protected by the federal
    Constitution.
    Obviously, it would be outra-
    geous, and I would go as far to
    say downright disgusting, if states
    still banned interracial marriage.
    Although, apparently some do not
    agree, namely Louisiana Justice
    Keith Bardwell, who recently
    resigned after his refusal to marry
    an interracial couple.
    This comparison provides some
    much needed perspective in the
    gay marriage debate. No matter
    your views on the morality of
    homosexuality, this prohibition of
    marriage is oppressive. This is an
    issue of legally withholding rights,
    and not for the greater good of
    preventing harm.
    It is my hope that eventually the
    San Francisco case will lead to the
    same acknowledgement for same-
    sex marriage as has been won for
    interracial marriage.
    Because of the discriminatory
    nature of this state law or any
    law regulating marriage based on
    sexuality, race, socioeconomic sta-
    tus marriage laws should strictly
    be a federal issue. This would
    ensure protection for all United
    States citizens, regardless of where
    they live.

    What Kansan columnists have been talking about...

    AROOj KHALID
    G
    etting up to go to the
    bathroom on inter-
    national flights in the
    last hour is no longer allowed.
    Passengers on inbound inter-
    national flights to the United
    States have to pass through
    two separate layers of security.
    In the U.S., shoes must still be
    removed and put back on and
    liquids thrown away or bagged.
    These steps are all taken to
    stop terrorist attacks. All of
    them were put in place after
    one incident that was missed
    by security.
    In the book
    SuperFreakonomics, the
    authors calculate that about
    14 human lifetimes are wasted
    each year just from the one
    minute it takes passengers to
    remove and put on their shoes
    in an airport line. Of the mil-
    lions of shoes removed and
    liquids checked, no terrorist
    attacks have been stopped by
    taking these steps.
    In fact, according to statisti-
    cian and blogger Nate Silver,
    the odds of being on a given
    departure which is the subject
    of a terrorist incident have
    been 1 in 10,408,947 during
    the past decade. Being a victim
    of a terrorist attack anywhere is
    exceedingly rare, as professor
    John Mueller of Ohio State has
    been trying to point out for a
    number of years.
    Even including the 9/11
    attacks, one is in less danger
    of being involved in a terrorist
    attack than they are of being
    injured or killed driving a car
    or walking down the street.
    Umar Farouk
    Abdulmutallabs attempted
    bombing last December wasnt
    stopped by all of the security
    checks or the billions spent
    on gathering intelligence.
    Despite the warnings of his
    own father that his son was a
    threat. Instead, he was stopped
    by individual passengers and
    personal incompetence.
    Had the bombing succeeded,
    the risk of dying and the over-
    all threat of terror would not
    have significantly changed.
    Though the attack would
    have been an absolute tragedy,
    the excessive and unnecessary
    security precautions that would
    have been put in place would
    all have been unnecessary.
    Thousands of lives each year
    are lost because of homicide,
    and those deaths are just as
    tragic. Homicide could be sig-
    nificantly reduced if due pro-
    cess and innocence were dis-
    regarded and draconian police
    tactics authorized and invasive
    surveillance techniques were
    utilized.
    All of these tactics are
    regarded as bearing too high
    of a cost to liberty and were
    rightly rejected. Against terror-
    ism they are seen as acceptable,
    necessary and, at times, not
    enough.
    The randomness of terror
    and the medias quest for rat-
    ings combine to greatly over-
    state the threat Americans face.
    Politicians can use this
    threat to corral money for
    their constituents and push
    an expansion of government
    power that normally would be
    rejected.
    All of the added secu-
    rity checks and tactics arent
    designed to make us safer; they
    are there so we feel that some-
    thing is being done.
    It is a high price to pay for
    the illusion of security.

    got in, and only seven were under-
    graduates, he said. I was a fresh-
    man, and I was super insecure.
    Austin hadnt anticipated the
    level of competitiveness inside
    Murphy Hall. Afer more practice,
    he was accepted to the school afer
    his second audition.
    Within the opera community,
    there are many types of vocal
    styles. Based on those vocal styles,
    there are roles that each one typi-
    cally plays.
    Sopranos are generally the cute
    girlfriends, which means most of
    the leading roles are written for
    them. Tenors are cast as the lovers
    or boyfriends of sopranos. Mezzo-
    sopranos, like Cooke, are the bad
    girls. Baritones are the best friends
    who rarely get the girl and basses
    are the bad guys.
    Right now Austin is a baritone,
    which means his voice is between
    the highs of a tenor and the lows of
    a bass. In the next few years, his vo-
    cal style might change completely.
    A professor helped Austin fnd
    a job at the Lyric Opera of Kan-
    sas City, where hes currently the
    youngest singer.
    Anna Hoard, a senior from To-
    peka, is also a music performance
    student with an emphasis in voice
    at the University. Hoard said she
    was going to major in political sci-
    ence before she was given the lead
    role in a high school musical, Into
    the Woods.
    While men have to wait for
    their voices to develop, womens
    voices generally mature much ear-
    lier. Hoard, a mezzo-soprano like
    Cooke, said her voice didnt stop
    developing until her sophomore
    year of college.
    Austin said the minimum fee for
    each performance is around $2,000
    for a show singing chorus.
    Charles Martinez, a third-year
    doctorate student in the School of
    Music and graduate teaching assis-
    tant from Wichita, said there was
    potential to make money in opera.
    He is 30 years old, so his voice a
    tenor is more developed.
    Its not uncommon to make
    $10,000 for one or two perfor-
    mances, he said. It just depends
    who you are.
    Austin auditioned for and per-
    formed in his frst opera at Murphy
    Hall in 2009. It was a small role in
    La Traviata by Verdi.
    Its pretty competitive being
    at Murphy Hall, he said. I go to
    school with my friends, but when
    opera season rolls around, they are
    your competition.
    Austin said some of the students
    called Murphy Hall, Murphy High,
    because it reminded them of a high
    school at times.
    Its kind of
    dramatic, but
    you have to be
    kind of crazy
    to be an op-
    era singer, he
    said.
    Te drama
    is compound-
    ed by show-
    m a n c e s .
    Showmance is
    the phenom-
    enon that occurs when two people
    in the same performance played
    characters in love, and they spent
    weeks together, all day and night,
    sharing voices, ideas, and develop-
    ing their characters together.
    Its like movie stars, you hear
    about them doing a movie togeth-
    er, and now theyre dating, Aus-
    tin said. But, who is better going
    to understand your lifestyle than
    someone who has the same life-
    style?
    Te life of an opera singer is not
    an easy road. Te six-fgure salary
    is not guaranteed. Te economy
    has also forced several opera com-
    panies to close.
    Julia Broxholm, voice profes-
    sor in the music
    department and
    Austins voice
    coach, said bud-
    gets are shrink-
    ing in some op-
    era companies,
    so theyre not
    able to ofer the
    same kinds of
    fees as before.
    Martinez, who
    recently fnished
    a three-week opera stint in St. Lou-
    is, said there were more things than
    just the money for him.
    I have friends who make really
    good money, but theyre working
    toward retirement, he said. Im
    going to stay in this business as
    long as I can.
    He said opera wasnt the typical
    work until youre 55 type of job.
    I want to sing until Im 70, he
    said.
    Broxholm said despite the pos-
    sibility of not making money as a
    singer, some people are crazy in
    love with it, and they just have to
    give it a shot. Even if that means
    living alone in hotel rooms, getting
    to go on stage means everything to
    them.
    Its also a hard life, there are lots
    of compromises, and lots of sacri-
    fces, Broxholm said. Stability of
    home, family, friends and relation-
    ships are almost always compro-
    mised.
    Cooke said she would tell stu-
    dents trying to follow in her foot-
    steps to sing or play the parts that
    lifed their spirits.
    Dont only play what youre
    told or what youre supposed to,
    she said. Follow your heart, thats
    what people respond to.
    While the pursuit to be an op-
    era singer may include long hours,
    heavy competition, and unstable
    pay, Austin says being a performer
    is the only thing he feels like he
    could do forever.

    The rest of the money from
    trademarks stays in athletics for its
    general operating budget, which
    includes coaches salaries, supplies
    and other general costs.
    Farrahi said she didnt know
    how the profits from trademarks
    were distributed.
    Marchiony said it was unfortu-
    nate that students didnt under-
    stand where the money goes.
    It doesnt detract us from what
    we think is an important stance,
    Marchiony said. We think its
    very important to protect the
    Universitys trademarks and one of
    the most important reasons is that
    so much money goes to student
    scholarships every year.
    Early in the night Farrahi
    said she thought the event was
    going well and
    attendees were
    excited. She
    said this event
    was a trial run
    and there may
    be more events
    in the future,
    depending on
    the outcome.
    These pro-
    ceeds are going
    to help the
    little guy bring the court case to
    the next level, Farrahi said. Its
    community support; its not even
    about the financial aspect.
    Larry Sinks, Joe College owner,
    has filed an appeal to get the attor-
    ney fees dropped and said it may
    take up to 18 months for the case
    to be heard.
    Kate Hogan, a junior from
    Topeka, attended the event and said
    she went to help raise some money
    and support for Joe College.
    I think Im
    here because
    I support Joe
    College and
    their right
    to print the
    T-shirts that
    they print and
    I had time and
    it sounded like
    fun, Hogan
    said.
    Sinks said he
    was thrilled by the showing of
    support and was hoping that his
    legal battles with the University
    were over.
    Its very exciting to know that
    people are coming out to support
    us, Sinks said. It touches me, it
    really does.

    Kentucky-bound airplane
    diverted for security scare
    By KATHy MATHESON
    Associated Press
    PHILADELPHIA A Jewish
    teenager trying to pray on a New
    York-to-Kentucky flight caused a
    scare Thursday when he pulled
    out a set of small boxes containing
    holy scrolls, leading the captain to
    divert the flight to Philadelphia,
    where the commuter plane was
    greeted by police, bomb-sniffing
    dogs and federal agents.
    The 17-year-old on US Airways
    Express Flight 3079 was using
    tefillin, a set of small boxes con-
    taining biblical passages that
    are attached to leather straps,
    Philadelphia police Lt. Frank
    Vanore said.
    When used in prayer, one box
    is strapped to the arm while the
    other box is placed on the head.
    Its something that the average
    person is not going to see very
    often, if ever, FBI spokesman J.J.
    Klaver said.
    The teen explained the ritual
    after being questioned by crew
    members of the flight, which had
    left LaGuardia Airport around
    7: 30 a. m.
    headed for
    Louisville and
    was operated
    by Chautauqua
    A i r l i n e s ,
    a u t h o r i t i e s
    said.
    O f f i c i a l s
    with the airline,
    however, said
    crew members
    did not receive
    a clear response when they talked
    with the teen, according to a state-
    ment issued by Republic Airways,
    which owns Chautauqua.
    Therefore, in the interest of
    everyones safety, the crew decid-
    ed to land in Philadelphia, where
    a more complete investigation and
    follow-up with authorities would
    be possible, the statement said.
    The flight landed in
    Philadelphia about 9 a.m. without
    incident and was met by police,
    bomb-sniffing dogs and officials
    from the FBI and Transportation
    Security Administration.
    Authorities said the plane was
    searched and passengers were
    questioned. The teen, who is from
    White Plains, N.Y., and was trav-
    eling with his
    1 6 - y e a r - o l d
    sister, was very
    c oope r at i ve,
    Vanore said.
    They were
    more alarmed
    than we were,
    Vanore said.
    Klaver said
    the teen and
    his sister were
    never in cus-
    tody and were cleared to continue
    their travels.
    The teens grandmother, who
    was waiting for him at Louisville
    International Airport, said the
    early flight left no time to pray
    before leaving New York.
    He hadnt had the opportunity
    to pray, so that is why he did it on
    the plane, Frances Winchell said.
    She said the episode was trau-
    matic for the boy, whose mother
    requested that he not give inter-
    views.
    But in any event, she added,
    alls well that ends well, and
    maybe some good will come to
    the world because of it.
    The teen, who belongs to the
    congregation Young Israel of
    White Plains, is a brilliant stu-
    dent from the sweetest family,
    said Shmuel Greenberg, the syna-
    gogues rabbi.
    The morning prayer ritual is
    supposed to take place within a
    few hours of sunrise, so its under-
    standable that the teen was doing
    it on the plane, Greenberg said.
    The rabbi said he could see how
    someone unfamiliar with the tefil-
    lin could be alarmed.
    Security today is a serious
    issue. You cant become educated
    up in the air, Greenberg said.
    I can definitely see a pilot or a
    crew that never saw it before in
    todays environment be very, very
    concerned.
    The Republic statement said
    the airline would use Thursdays
    event to further strengthen our
    commitment to both security and
    customer service.

    Martin is
    helluva
    coach
    By tim dwyer
    tdwyer@kansan.com
    I
    like Frank Martin.
    There. I said it. Before
    you burn this sports page in
    effigy, or storm the Kansan news-
    room, or simply decide to not
    read the rest of this column, give
    me a couple moments to explain.
    It may only take one quote.
    Martin was asked how he
    would keep his Kansas State
    Wildcats motivated after knock-
    ing off No. 1 Texas in Manhattan
    on Monday night.
    If they dont come in and
    compete, he said, I am going to
    destroy them.
    Thats the kind of quote that
    journalists love to hear.
    Granted, its not Arizona
    Cardinals coach Dennis Green
    asking you to crown the Bears
    derriere, but its still a phenom-
    enal instance of a coach being
    completely straight with the
    media.
    My love of Martin (as a coach,
    not in a man-crush kind of way)
    goes beyond his periodical Ivan
    Drago statements.
    It also goes beyond my child-
    ish enjoyment of his resemblance
    to an extra from the Sopranos.
    (Someone said he also looks like
    a cast member from Jersey Shore
    at a 20-year reunion, which then
    made me squirt Coke out my
    nose with laughter.)
    Those are both reasons to
    admire Martin, but I mostly like
    the guy because he can flat-out
    coach.
    Most people assumed Kansas
    State was left for dead when Bob
    Huggins bailed in 2007 after one
    year to coach his alma mater,
    West Virginia. Instead, Martin
    has taken the program and resus-
    citated it after just a few years on
    the job.
    Leading up to the Texas game,
    Martin didnt sleep for two days.
    He felt his team was underpre-
    pared, so he worked his tail off to
    reverse that.
    And thats what he did. He
    coached his team to victory
    against the top-ranked team
    despite woeful performances
    from his two best players. He
    brought the best out of Jamar
    Samuels and Curtis Kelly, who
    combined for 37 points against
    the nations best front court.
    He took a fan base that only
    sold out when Kansas came
    around and worked them into an
    impassioned crowd that energized
    the Wildcats past Texas, even as
    the Longhorns rallied time and
    again.
    As a result, he turned the Big
    12 into a three-horse race.
    After the game Martin met
    Bobby Knight, one of his idols
    and a man familiar with competi-
    tive fire. Knight told Martin that
    his offense needed work, and that
    hed be happy to help if Martin
    called in the morning.
    Im sure he did. Its what a great
    competitor would do.
    Hes Frank Martin. And he
    must break you.

    Transfer pole vaulters join team, make early mark
    By SAmANtHA ANderSON
    sanderson@kansan.com
    The Kansas track team is start-
    ing the season with three new
    female pole vaulters who trans-
    ferred from different colleges.
    Each one is ready to make her
    own contribution.
    Two of the vaulters became
    Jayhawks at the beginning of
    the fall semester, junior Jaci
    Perryman and sophomore Alex
    Colvin. Junior Tara Turnbull is
    joining the team this semester.
    Each girl has her own reasons for
    why starting over again at Kansas
    was the best choice for them.
    Coming out of high school,
    Kansas was originally an option
    for Perryman. Tom Hays, vertical
    jumps coach, recruited her and
    she was very interested in the
    program and the opportunity to
    learn from Hays. However, the
    distance from her hometown of
    Phoenix, Ariz., made the transi-
    tion to Kansas a little too daunt-
    ing, and Perryman decided to
    stay closer to home and attend
    Arizona.
    Perryman graduated from
    Arizona a year early and because
    she redshirted her freshman year,
    she still had two more years of
    eligibility after graduation. She
    decided to come to Kansas to
    work on her graduate degree.
    This gave Perryman the oppor-
    tunity to utilize her last two years
    of competition and finally learn
    from Coach Hays.
    Ive always wanted to work
    with him, said Perryman. I was
    excited to get this opportunity to
    do so. He definitely was a big fac-
    tor in deciding to come here.
    Perryman is already making a

    Sophomore Alex Colvin vaults during the Bill Easton Classic at Anschutz Pavilion on Jan. 8. Colvin, fromMonument, Colo., transferred fromSan
    Diego State University and joined the Kansas track teamin the fall.

    For the first time since junior
    center Cole Aldrich played his
    first game at Kansas, the Jayhawks
    allowed an opponent to make more
    than half their field goal attempts.
    Since Ive been here, I dont
    think anybody has done that,
    Aldrich said after Wednesdays
    81-75 victory against Baylor. They
    just made some tough shots.
    The Bears shot 52.1 percent from
    the field, ending a 92-game streak
    which the Jayhawks have held their
    opponents to less than 50 percent
    shooting. The last time it was done
    was Nov. 9, 2007, when Louisiana-
    Monroe shot 51 percent.
    Senior guard Sherron Collins
    said even though they played well
    overall against Baylor, that stat
    didn't sit well.
    It is a little disappointing, he
    said. Im not going to say it isnt.
    Baylors LaceDarius Dunn fin-
    ished with 27 points and Tweety
    Carter had 17 for the Bears. Despite
    junior guard Brady Morningstars
    defensive effort against Dunn,
    Collins said, the Jayhawks could
    have done nothing to stop him. He
    added that if there was one weak-
    ness on this team, it was on the
    defensive end.
    Brady played great defense on
    LaceDarius and he still had 27
    points, Collins said. Tweety was
    still Tweety. We obviously can be
    better, but I thought we played a
    pretty good game.
    However, coach Bill Self wasnt
    about to discredit his teams
    defense. Earlier this season, the
    Jayhawks had games where they
    looked dominant, but Self said that
    that was the result of the opposi-
    tions failure to make shots.
    That wasnt the case against
    Baylor.
    Its fools gold when guys miss
    open looks, Self said. They didnt
    get open looks tonight. We guard-
    ed them.
    Since his team played so well,
    Self wasn't discouraged about
    allowing Baylor to get 52 percent
    kansas vs.
    iowa state
    1 p.m. Saturday in Ames,
    Iowa.
    The game will be shown
    on ESPN.

    Local rapper reps KU hoops
    MORNINg BREW
    B
    ill Self is a millionaire, a National
    Champion and a stellar recruit-
    er.
    And now, hes a verb.
    Bill Selfn, coined by local rapper
    Beejay McLoyd, is making Bills (mon-
    ey) and then spending them on oneSelf.
    Considering Self s recent $50,000 dona-
    tion to the earthquake victims in Haiti
    from his own checkbook, Bill Self hasnt
    been Bill Selfn much recently.
    McLoyd, 23, says his defnition of
    the verb on his album Te Bill Self Proj-
    ect isnt a slight towards Self. In fact,
    McLoyd talked to Self on the weekend
    of the Kansas-Oklahoma football game
    and came away with a lot of respect.
    I actually got Bill Self a copy one
    night when he was at Salty Iguana,
    McLoyd said. He was with his kids and
    they liked it, it was crazy.
    He uses the stage name B Double E
    and references Kansas basketball several
    times on Te Bill Self Project. Show up
    to Tech N9nes concert next Friday at
    the Beaumont Club in Kansas City and
    youll get to see B Double E open. Hell
    probably faunt his blue Paul Pierce jer-
    sey. Maybe youll snag one of 100 free
    copies of Te Bill Self Project.
    Bill $elf is probably the catchiest,
    and cleanest, song on the album, but
    others talk up the Hawks. McLoyd says
    the skits are comedic in nature, but the
    songs and lyrics are legitimate.
    McLoyd spits that his cup is flled to
    the top just like Allen Fieldhouse. He
    made the game, so in turn, you should
    call him James Naismith. Hes clutch
    like Chalmers at the buzzer.
    McLoyd would know, since he says he
    hung out with Mario Chalmers, Bran-
    don Rush and Darrell Arthur when they
    were at Kansas, afer all.
    We used to always play Call of Duty,
    McLoyd said. All the time when they
    were back in school. Brandon used to be
    my main boy before high school.
    McLoyd played on Rushs AAU bas-
    ketball team in middle school, but end-
    ed up playing football. Pretty well, too.
    He made All-Metro Honorable Mention
    as a wide receiver his senior year at Blue
    Valley North. He was recruited to play
    at Kansas but couldnt make grades.
    He couldnt get in to study, so maybe
    we should let him in to rap. Bill $elf
    should make it onto the pregame play-
    list that blares through Allen Fieldhouse
    before the band starts playing at 45 min-
    utes before tipof.
    We can listen to Lil Wayne at home
    anytime, but how many times in our
    lives will we hear a local rapper rapping
    about Kansas basketball, Allen Field-
    house and Mario Chalmers as we sit
    in Allen Fieldhouse waiting for Kansas
    basketball and the next Mario Chalm-
    ers?
    McLoyd would love it.
    Id feel like, shit, on top of the world,
    McLoyd said.

    Indiana drops Penn

    Jones III hit two late long jumpers,
    Devan Dumes scored 10 of his
    15 points in the second half and
    Indiana held of Penn state 67-61
    on Thursday night for its frst road
    win of the season.
    The Hoosiers led by nine with
    6:20 left but couldnt shake Penn
    state and guard Talor Battle, who
    had a game-high 22.
    Andrew otts layup got Penn
    state within three, but Jones
    nailed a 3 with a defender in his
    face to get the lead back to 63-57
    with 2:58 left, and another jumper
    more than a minute later to put
    the Hoosiers up eight.
    The Nittany Lions erased an
    early 11-point defcit and tied the
    game at 40 after a layup by Battle
    and a foul shot by chris Babb with
    13-plus minutes left.
    But Dumes scored seven of In-
    dianas next 10 points to frustrate

    Power plays boost Ottawa
    NHL
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    OTTAWA Peter Regin got his
    third power-play point of the game
    with an assist on Chris Phillips
    goal midway through the third and
    the Senators extended their win-
    ning streak to five with a 3-2 vic-
    tory over the St. Louis Blues on
    Thursday night.
    Regin, who opened the scoring
    in the first, got his second assist of
    the game as Phillips put a wrist shot
    from the slot past Chris Mason
    10:29 into the third for Ottawas
    third power-play goal of the game.
    Brian Elliott stopped 27 shots
    to win his third straight start, and
    Milan Michalek also scored on the
    power play in his return after miss-
    ing seven games because of a con-
    cussion.
    Brad Boyes scored 30 seconds
    into the third to draw St. Louis
    even at 2 after Eric Brewer scored
    the Blues first goal late in the sec-
    ond.
    Mason made 27 saves for St.
    Louis, which had won five of six.
    Patrik Berglund, who did not
    dress for Wednesday nights 4-3
    overtime win in Montreal, was
    back in the Blues lineup as David
    Backes was sidelined by an upper-
    body injury.
    St. Louis is 5-4-1 under coach
    Davis Payne, who took over behind
    the bench after Andy Murray was
    fired on Jan. 2.
    Ottawa built a 2-0 lead midway
    through the second with a pair of
    power-play goals.
    Regin, who has five points in his
    last two games, scored his second
    goal in as many games 16:09 in
    and assisted on Michaleks 17th
    goal 10:59 into the second. Alex
    Kovalev, who played his 1,200th
    regular season game, set up both
    power-play tallies.
    Regin, who had a goal and an
    assist in Tuesday nights 4-1 win
    over Chicago, got credit for his
    eighth goal late in the first when
    Kovalevs centering pass went in off
    the Danish centers right skate.
    David Perron scored an appar-
    ent tying goal for the Blues as time
    expired in the first. A video review
    showed that time had expired
    before the puck crossed the goal
    line.
    Brewer redirected Perrons shot
    from the right side into the net
    from the edge of the crease at 18:53
    to draw St. Louis to 2-1.

    Seton Hall stops Louisville
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    NEWARK, N.J. Jeremy
    Hazell scored 25 points and Seton
    Hall held off a late Louisville
    rally to post an 80-77 victory
    on Thursday night, handing the
    Cardinals their third straight
    loss.
    The losing streak is the lon-
    gest for coach Rick Pitino and
    Louisville (12-7, 3-3 Big East)
    since the 2005-06 season. It also
    prevented the Cardinals from get-
    ting their 1,600th win in school
    history yet again.
    Jordan Theodore added 17
    points and Jeff Robinson 12 as
    the Pirates (11-6, 2-4) won for
    only the second time in seven
    games.
    Edgar Sosa had 15 points to
    lead Louisville, but he also had a
    late layup attempt blocked with
    about 40 seconds to play and
    the Cardinals down 75-72. Mike
    Marra came off the bench to add
    10 points.
    Seton Hall seemed to be in
    control when Robinson took a
    pass from Theodore and scored
    a slam dunk for a 72-59 lead with
    4:40 to go.
    Louisville finally got its press
    working and ran off a 12-3 spurt
    with Preston
    K n o w l e s
    scoring on a
    rebound fol-
    low and Sosa
    stealing the
    inbounds pass
    and scoring
    with 1:22 to
    go to cut the
    lead to 75-72.
    Keon Lawrence had the ball in
    the frontcourt when Sosa inter-
    cepted a lazy pass toward the
    foul line. The guard took off for
    what appeared would be a fast
    break that would cut the lead to
    a point.
    However, Lawrence hustled
    back and blocked the shot and
    Theodore eventually got the loose
    ball and found Hazell for a dunk
    all alone, a play on which he was
    lucky the officials didnt call a
    technical foul for hanging on the
    rim with 34.7 seconds to play.
    A rebound followed by
    Samardo Samuels with 22.8 sec-
    onds left cut
    the lead to
    77-74 and,
    after Thoedore
    made 1 of 2
    free throws,
    Jerry Smith
    nai l ed a
    3-pointer from
    the right cor-
    ner with about a second to play to
    make it a one-point game.
    Seton Hall had trouble get-
    ting the ball inbounds, but Hazell
    finally got it and was fouled with
    two tenths of a second to play.
    He made the second of two free
    throws and Smith did not get off
    a desperation 3-pointer before
    the final buzzer.

    signifcance of the stunning
    victory was not lost on Miami
    coach Katie Meier, whose team
    had just ended Marylands 48-
    game home winning streak in
    dramatic fashion.
    This isnt a big win unless
    Marylands Maryland, Meier said.
    We absolutely know what kind
    of program this is, and we have

    winning streak. im honored that
    we were the team that snapped

    riquna Williams made two
    3-pointers in the fnal minute,
    including the game-winner
    with 2.4 seconds left, to give
    the Hurricanes an 80-77 victory
    Thursday night. it marked the

    Every streak is going to come
    to an end at some point,Terps
    coach Brenda frese said. But
    im proud of what weve created
    here. ... Now its time for this
    team to make a new streak.
    Williams, the leading scorer in
    the Atlantic Coast Conference,
    tied the game with a 3-pointer
    as the shot clock expired with 48
    seconds remaining.
    it was, get the ball of,Wil-
    liams said.
    That one saved us, Meier
    noted.
    Then, after a Maryland miss,
    the 5-foot-8 sophomore guard
    drilled the game-winning shot.
    i was coming of a screen, i
    had already made up my mind i
    was going to shoot it,Williams
    said.
    Williams fnished with 19
    points and Shenise johnson had
    17 for Miami (14-4, 2-2).

    Ofense slowed by inconsistent point guard play
    by Max RothMan
    mrothman@kansan.com
    twitter.com/maxrothman
    The point guard position is
    crippling Kansas offense. And it
    wasnt always that way.
    Kansas once ran a fleet-footed
    offensive juggernaut.
    Operated by freshman guard
    Angel Goodrich, the ambitious
    young leader used to race down
    the court and find her sprinting
    post players for easy layups.
    This transition-reliant offense
    directly benefited players like
    sophomore forward Aishah
    Sutherland and junior center
    Krysten Boogaard. The two start-
    ed, hustled and ran the length
    of the floor, only to be rewarded
    with a perfectly placed pass by
    Goodrich.
    Then the delivery girl went
    down.
    Goodrich tore the ACL in her
    right knee, officially ending her
    season.
    Weve lost her and it tears all
    of our hearts out, coach Bonnie
    Henrickson said.
    Senior guard LaChelda Jacobs
    has since stepped in as the replace-
    ment starter, hoping to emulate
    the exhilarating style of her
    injured predecessor. Both Jacobs
    and Henrickson vowed that the
    loss of Goodrich wouldnt change
    the fast paced, post-feeding offen-
    sive gameplan.
    Its not time to reinvent the
    wheel, Henrickson said.
    Yet the numbers have told a dif-
    ferent tale.
    It would be unfair to expect
    Jacobs and her freshly promoted
    backup, junior guard Rhea Codio,
    to match Goodrichs 7.1 assists
    per game. The pair have totaled
    just three assists in the past two
    games. Yet that statistic would not
    be nearly as daunting if it were
    only affecting the point guards.
    However, since Goodrich has been
    out of the lineup, several post
    players have gone from vital to
    invisible.
    With Goodrich in the lineup,
    Sutherland averaged 11.2 points
    and 8.2 rebounds per game. Since
    Jacobs has taken over the starting
    role, Sutherland has dropped her
    averages to four points and five
    rebounds per game.
    Goodrichs absence has also
    been a detriment to Boogaards
    play. Before the injury, Boogaard
    was an every-game starter, averag-
    ing 11.7 points and 6.5 rebounds.
    In large part to the ascension
    of freshman forward Carolyn
    Davis, Boogaard has been noth-
    ing but a scarcely utilized reserve
    since Jacobs has been the starter.
    However Boogaard has also shown
    much less ability in the time that
    she does see the floor.
    She doesnt play and produce,
    Henrickson said. Im not crazy
    about her energy. Im not crazy
    about what were getting on either
    end of the floor.
    Many say that great point
    guards make the players around
    them look that much better. In
    Boogaards case, until proven oth-
    erwise, it appears as if her success
    was entirely dependent on the play
    of Goodrich.
    Its not squatters rights. You
    dont play just because youre
    old, Henrickson said. Right now
    Krysten can help us, but Krysten
    has got to change her mindset a
    little bit.
    Since Jacobs has taken over,
    despite her and her coachs words,
    the team has noticeably slowed
    its pace. Wednesday nights 53-49
    loss at Iowa State epitomized the
    sluggish steps downward that the
    team has taken.
    Kansas tried to run its usual
    transition offense, as post play-
    ers bursted down the floor in
    pursuit of an easy basket. Often,
    Sutherland and Boogaard would
    raise their right hand several inch-
    es above their defender, ready for
    the pass. But the signal was much
    more rehearsal than foreshad-
    owing. Jacobs charged down the
    court, but was never able to con-
    vert the relay. As a result, Kansas
    was constantly stuck in a suffocat-
    ing half-court set the enemy of
    a transition offense.
    We just kept sticking it to
    them, Iowa State senior guard
    Denae Stuckey said.
    Jacobs finished the game with-
    out an assist in 25 minutes of
    play. The post players combined to
    score just six points.
    Youve got to be able to convert
    in the paint, Henrickson said.
    Jacobs absence of assertion has
    clearly slowed the offense to a pri-
    marily half-court mold. It might
    also cripple Kansas hopes of a
    postseason in late March.

    Quote of the day
    The Kansas bench
    against the cyclones last Wednesday, kansas bench players not
    named monica Engelman scored a combined zero points. Thats
    despite earning 43 combined minutes of playing time. in conjunction
    with not performing on the court, the kansas bench failed to provide
    energy for the players on the foor in a hostile environment with little
    to no crimson and blue. When kansas has played without the fery fans
    in allen fieldhouse this season, it has lost fve games compared to just
    two wins. all of those players have a chance to redeem themselves by
    reversing that trend tomorrow when the Jayhawks travel to Norman,
    okla. to take on the sooners.
    Carolyn Davis
    saturdays game will mark the third consecu-
    tive start for freshman forward carolyn davis.
    after putting up 13 points in her frst against mis-
    souri on Jan. 16, davis only managed four points
    in her second outing against iowa state. davis
    should improve against oklahoma, despite the
    sooners intimidating post players. The jitters of
    her starting her frst game on the road will most
    likely have disappeared which will allow davis to
    be the aggressive post player that the Jayhawks
    need her to be.
    Amanda Thompson
    oklahoma senior forward amanda Thompson
    will challenge kansas all over the court. Thomp-
    son, a 6 1 native of chicago, has the capability
    to play any one of the fve positions available. she
    has even had a couple of opportunities to run
    point guard for the sooners. Thompsons ability
    to step up her game when her team needs it the
    most makes the senior forward an even bigger
    threat to the struggling Jayhawks. in the sooners
    last two games, both close victories, Thompson
    earned double-doubles.
    We are not too proud to win ugly. i promise you that. We are not too
    proud.

    Georgia ends its eight-game losing streak to Tennessee
    by PaUL nEWbERRy
    associated Press
    ATHENS, Ga. Porsha Phillips
    scored the go-ahead basket of a
    pass from Ashley Houts with 39
    seconds remaining, then added
    two free throws that clinched
    No. 8 Georgias 53-50 upset of
    third-ranked Tennessee in a
    rugged Southeastern Conference
    showdown Tursday night.
    Houts led the Lady Bulldogs
    (18-1, 5-1) with 12 points and
    Phillips had 10, but this bruising
    game was decided at the defensive
    end. Georgia managed to win even
    though it missed 16 of its frst 19
    shots in the second half against
    the Lady Volunteers (16-2, 4-1).
    Tennessee turned the ball
    over 23 times and couldnt stop
    the Lady Dogs from stealing it
    away at the end. Alyssia Brewer
    converted a three-point play
    that put the Lady Vols ahead,
    but Phillips scored the fnal four
    points to give Georgia one of its
    biggest victories in years.
    Te Lady Vols took a huge blow
    when Kelley Cain fouled out with
    4:13 lef. She picked up her fourth
    foul, complained about the call
    and drew a technical that sent her
    to the sideline for the rest of the
    night.
    Georgia snapped an eight-
    game losing streak to the Lady
    Vols, posting its frst victory in
    the series since the 2004 SEC
    tournament. Te Lady Dogs had
    not beaten Tennessee in Athens
    in a decade a 78-51 victory on
    Jan. 17, 2000.
    Te home team managed
    only seven points over the frst
    15 minutes of the second half,
    and Tennessee pulled away to a
    four-point lead that matched the
    biggest margin for either team all
    night.
    Ten, a stunning sequence
    sent the Lady Dogs into the lead.
    Houts swished a 3-pointer from
    the top of the key. At the other
    end, the senior guard knocked
    the ball away, broke out ahead
    of the pack and received a return
    pass from Jasmine James for a
    layup that suddenly put Georgia
    ahead, 42-41.
    Afer Cain put Tennessee back
    in front with a short hook of the
    baseline, the 6-foot-6 sophomore
    a native of nearby Atlanta
    let her temper get the best of her.
    Afer being whistled for a foul on
    Meredith Mitchell as the Georgia
    player drove the lane, Cain
    mouthed of to the ofcials, who
    tacked on the T.
    Lady Bulldogs beat
    third-ranked Lady

    shooting.
    We played well, he said. I wish
    we would have held them to a bet-
    ter percentage. That would have
    helped us quite a bit. They shot a
    good percentage, but we also got
    15 steals.
    Those 15 steals were the most by
    Kansas in a Big 12 game since the
    15 they had against Kansas State on
    March 1, 2008.
    Freshman guard Xavier Henry
    had seven steals himself, the most
    by a Jayhawk all season. Not since
    Russell Robinsons eight against Yale
    on Dec. 29, 2007, has a Jayhawk
    stolen so many passes.
    Now the Jayhawks are going on
    the road to face 12-6 Iowa State on
    Saturday where dual forwards Craig
    Brackins and Marquis Gilstrap
    await. The Cyclones two best play-
    ers have Collins hoping his team
    will be ready to tackle the defensive
    mismatches they will face.
    They have solid guards and a
    good four-man that can shoot the
    ball and stretch the defense, he
    said. Itll be another tough adjust-
    ment, tough game. You know, its
    the Big 12. Every games going to
    be tough.

    difference. In the last three meets
    she was the top female pole-vault-
    er for the team.
    We expect her to be an impact
    person at conference, Hays said.
    While Perryman was moving
    farther away from her family,
    Culvin, of Monument, Colo., was
    moving closer to home. Culvins
    transfer from San Diego State
    University brought her closer to
    her family and also allowed her
    to join her sister, Kate, on Kansas
    pole vaulting team.
    I saw how
    much she loved
    Kansas and just
    loved compet-
    ing here and
    loved everything
    about Lawrence.
    It made the deci-
    sion a lot easier,
    said Culvin.
    The newest
    transfer, Turnbull, originally from
    Chesterfield, Mo., transferred
    from Purdue after her coach left
    the school.
    I wanted to go somewhere
    with a good coach and I did a
    little research and Coach Hays had
    quite good credentials so I went
    here, said Turnbull.
    Coach Hays has experience with
    transfers and his coaching style
    gives them time to learn the way
    they learn best.
    What I do is the first four weeks
    of the fall Im trying to learn how
    that athlete learns and then Im
    trying to adapt my coaching style
    to what they need, Hays said.
    Hays doesnt cater to the ath-
    lete, but he looks at what is the
    most effective method in getting
    an athlete to improve, whether
    it be watching films or learning
    hands-on. This could be one of
    the reasons his transfer athletes
    are making an impact already.
    Turnbull finished in third place in
    both the meets she competed in as
    a Jayhawk.
    Each of these girls, all with dif-
    ferent backgrounds and reasons for
    coming to Kansas, all met many of
    the same difficulties.
    One big difference is the prac-
    tices.
    They are pretty much entirely
    different from the way that we
    warm up to the way that we do our
    mechanical workouts, Turnbull
    said.
    The changes, while difficult at
    first, can make
    the girls better.
    Im kind of
    starting from
    the beginning
    again being
    with a new
    coach, said
    Perryman. So
    theres a lot of
    things that I
    have been improving that may not
    show immediately and if I can
    keep building on that I feel like Ive
    had a great start to my improve-
    ments.
    Transfer athletes dont just have
    to worry about practice. They also
    must adapt to a whole new campus
    away from the school that had
    become their home in the previ-
    ous years.
    Many transfer athletes dont
    know anyone on campus and it can
    be hard to initially branch out.
    At first it was a little difficult
    to meet a lot of people and go out,
    so you just have to be outgoing
    and be open to meeting people,
    Colvin said.
    With time, however, most ath-
    letes discover that Jayhawk spirit.
    As time goes on, you know you
    just grow, said Colvin. You bleed
    crimson and blue.

    Minor league
    pitcher wins award
    former Kansas pitcher Paul
    Smyth was recently named Minor
    League Baseballs Short-Season
    reliever of the year as part of the
    leagues annual MiLBy Awards.
    Smyth, a right-handed pitcher
    from Atascadero, Calif., graduated
    this past spring after a standout
    career as a jayhawk. in his time at
    the university, Smyth appeared
    in a school-record 129 games and
    notched 27 career saves, good for
    second all-time in school history.
    After graduation, Smyth was
    drafted by the Oakland Athletics
    in the 35th round of last sea-
    sons amateur draft and spent
    time playing in both Vancouver
    (rookie League) and Kane County
    (Short-Season Single-A). Smyth
    impressed in his frst professional
    season, as he did not allow an
    earned run, a streak that spanned
    36 1/3 innings in 25 games with
    both clubs. He also allowed just
    16 base runners, while notching
    37 strikeouts.

    drunk driving arrest in December
    has not dislodged him as the
    top contender for the St. Louis
    Cardinals third base job.
    But the 26-year-old Freese
    knows he has to grow up and earn
    the teams trust. During the teams
    Winter Warm-Up last weekend, he
    said he hadnt taken a drink since
    his DUI arrest for a blood alcohol
    content of .232 nearly three
    times the legal limit.
    Its an embarrassing and humil-
    iating experience for me, my fam-
    ily and the organization, Freese
    said. They obviously have high
    demands on you as a person on
    and off the field.
    Ive just got to learn from it,
    which I have.
    Freese said he had a long discus-
    sion with general manager John
    Mozeliak not long after the arrest.
    He has entered a treatment pro-
    gram, although he said he was
    not an alcoholic, and said he had
    lost 16 pounds during offseason
    conditioning.
    As of right now Im not drink-
    ing, Freese said. The future is
    going to tell you what the future
    holds, but Im just kind of taking it
    one day at a time.
    Freese has had previous mis-
    steps; the arrest report from
    December listed him as a prior
    offender. At first, he worried the
    Cardinals might release him.
    Obviously, right out of the gate
    thats the first thing you think
    about, your career, Freese said.
    Theyre making sure and Im
    making sure Im taking the neces-
    sary steps.
    The gravity of the situation hit
    him after the December arrest.
    The Cardinals acquired Freese
    from the Padres in a deal for Jim
    Edmonds after the 2007 season and
    he made the opening-day roster
    last season before being sidelined
    by injuries. Third base is open after
    the departures of free agents Troy
    Glaus and Khalil Greene.

    David Freese, of the St. Louis Cardinals, reacts to striking out in April 2009. Freese's drunk driving
    arrest in December has not dislodged himas the top contender for the Cardinals' third base job.
    But Freese, 26, said he knows he has to learn fromthe experience.

    k-state plans to keep focus after win
    AssociAted Press
    MANHATTAN, Kan. Bob
    Huggins quoted John F. Kennedy
    at his introductory news confer-
    ence at Kansas State, telling anyone
    whod listen there was no reason
    to shoot for second when first
    was available. You know, the kind
    of statement fans and supporters
    expect to hear from a new coach.
    Frank Martin bought into it. Still
    does.
    A former assistant to Huggins,
    Martin has the Wildcats reaching
    for No. 1 four years later, rais-
    ing excitement and expectations to
    unprecedented levels in the Little
    Apple.
    That thought process never
    changed because he left, Martin
    said. Thats who we are. Im not
    telling you were better than the
    next guy, but thats how we prepare.
    We come in here every day and
    compete real hard, practice real
    hard and study real hard.
    That approach led to one of the
    biggest wins in the programs his-
    tory.
    Fighting past a slew of personal
    issues and the type of pressure
    theyve come to embrace, the
    Wildcats manhandled Texas on
    Monday night, riding their smoth-
    ering defense and the energy of
    a raucous crowd to knock the
    Longhorns from the unbeaten
    ranks.
    How they did it is a sign of how
    far Kansas State has come.
    A year ago, an off night by
    guards Jacob Pullen and Denis
    Clemente would have been disas-
    trous for the Wildcats. Those two
    went a combined 4-for-24 against
    the Longhorns, but the front line,
    led by Jamar
    Samuels dou-
    bl e - doubl e ,
    made up for it
    by scoring 46
    of the teams 71
    points against
    one of the best
    front lines in
    college basket-
    ball.
    And Kansas
    State did it on a night three of its
    players could have had their minds
    elsewhere: Freshman Martavious
    Irving had a death in the family
    a few days before, Jamar Samuels
    mother had undergone surgery
    and Luis Colons cousin was shot
    and killed in his native Puerto Rico
    the day of the game.
    Even the Longhorns were
    impressed.
    Lets feel good for K-State,
    Texas coach Rick Barnes said. Ive
    been in the league for 12 years,
    been here when it wasnt so good.
    Youve got to feel good if you know
    Frank Martin. Hes worked hard.
    I think a guy that has had to do
    it the hard way. Hes done a great
    job here.
    Hes not finished.
    Martin has instilled his chip-on-
    the-shoulder mentality since the
    day he took over for Huggins in
    2007, relent-
    lessly riding
    the Wildcats,
    screaming at
    them, pushing
    them to never
    accept fail-
    ure or lack of
    effort.
    Two years
    ago, the
    W i l d c a t s
    pulled off a monumental victory
    against eventual national cham-
    pion Kansas, ending a 24-game
    losing streak against their biggest
    rival. The fans rushed the court,
    the players danced on the scorers
    tables and the party lasted well into
    the night.
    Next game, Kansas State fell flat
    and lost to Missouri on the road.
    This time, the Wildcats took
    what may have been an even bigger
    victory more in stride. The fans,
    some of whom had waited over-
    night to get tickets, roared from
    their seats instead of stampeding to
    the court. The players ran over to
    high-five the fans in the front row,
    but didnt linger too long.
    Once inside the locker room,
    Martin didnt have to remind his
    players victory was only one step in
    the journey. Pullen beat his coach
    to it, telling his teammates to not
    lose focus, to be just as ready for
    Oklahoma State on Saturday as
    they were for the Longhorns.
    So many teams beat a No. 1
    team and lose their focus and lose
    the next game, said Pullen, a fresh-
    man on the team that beat KU
    in 2008. We cant let anything
    sidetrack us; new rankings, new
    interviews, whatever the case may
    be. We have to stay the course and
    keep the focus like we did for this
    game.
    In case the Wildcats didnt get
    the message, Martin will be there
    to remind them.
    Its not about celebrating this
    win. Its about being proud of what
    you did, but continue to grow, he
    said. "Obviously, you gain confi-
    dence beating a great team like
    Texas, but come (practice), if they
    dont come in and compete, Im
    going to destroy them."
    We have to stay the
    course and keep the focus
    like we did for this game.

    KANSAS
    (17-1)
    StArterS
    Sherron Collins, guard
    It may sound crazy, but collins is not getting
    the national attention he deserves. The hand-
    ful of players capable of taking over a game
    the way collins does is quite small. He had 28
    points against Baylor and is averaging 16.3 on
    the season, which leads kansas. If the Jayhawks
    need a three, he can supply one. If they need to
    quiet the crowd, collins will take the ball to the
    basket, while making it all look so easy.
    Brady Morningstar, guard
    morningstar got the start for the spotty Ty-
    shawn Taylor most likely for defensive purposes
    against Baylors LaceDarius Dunn. With coach
    Bill selfs positive impression on his team, he
    may go with the start again. morningstar start-
    ed 34 of 35 games last season for the Hawks.
    Xavier Henry, guard
    Henry had the most steals for a kansas player
    since 2007 with seven against Baylor. He only
    turned the ball over twice, which is a good sign
    for the freshman. of course, there is a signifcant
    diference for Henry in home and road games.
    The comfort level is high in Allen Fieldhouse,
    but the crowd at Iowa state will make his
    life difcult,
    especially
    coming of a
    game when
    he went
    3-13 from
    the feld.
    Marcus Morris,
    forward
    Two is a coincidence,
    three is a trend. This marks the
    third consecutive game morris has
    posted big numbers, all in conference
    play. He is third on the team with 12.2
    points per game. sherron collins said aside from his on-
    the-court play, morris had stepped up vocally. If and when
    cole Aldrich becomes the dominant force we expected
    coming into the season, that duo rivals any front court in
    the country.
    Cole Aldrich, center
    Its hard to get a read on Aldrich
    this season. He is one of the premier
    rebounders and shot blockers in the nation,
    but he hasnt left his imprint on any game
    this season. Against Baylors long-armed zone
    defense, Aldrich only managed 10 points with
    four rebounds and failed to record a block the
    frst time all season. Are the 10-10 games with
    three blocks all the Jayhawks should be expecting from the
    preseason All-American this season?
    Sixth Man
    Tyshawn Taylor, guard
    Being the sixth guard
    to enter the game
    against Baylor for un-
    specifed reasons, its
    hard to determine
    if Taylor will start or
    not against Iowa state.
    It seems this season is
    about getting into coach
    Bill selfs doghouse
    and working his way
    out only to return a few games later. He
    looked good in his last game fnishing with
    fve assists and no turnovers in 15 minutes.
    Corey Thibodeaux
    kansas is 3-0 in Big 12 play this
    season while Iowa state is strug-
    gling with a 1-2 mark. And with
    Texas loss to kansas state, kansas
    is the top team in the Big 12 as
    of now. The Jayhawks beat the
    cyclones twice last year 82-67
    in Ames, Iowa and 72-55 in Allen
    Fieldhouse. Iowa state forward
    craig Brackins scored a combined
    62 points in those games. sherron
    collins totaled 48 points for the
    Jayhawks in those games.
    Sherron Collins
    He is the man right now. coach
    Bill self said the greatest players
    can willingly score fve points or
    25 points for the beneft of his
    team, and that is exactly what
    collins has
    done this sea-
    son. He is the
    only consistent
    player the
    Jayhawks have
    on the road
    and the most
    composed in
    pressure situ-
    ations. During times of adversity,
    there may not be a better player
    with the ball in his hands. In the
    event kansas starts looking bad
    on the road, expect the senior
    guard to continue to shine.
    Despite the records, will
    Iowa State be competitive just
    because its a Big 12 game?
    Weve seen it a lot already
    this season, with Texas losing to
    kansas state, kansas getting a
    scare from Nebraska and a dra-
    matic game between oklahoma
    and Texas A&m. In conference
    games, anything can happen.
    At any point during this part of
    the season, the Jayhawks could
    dominate, get blown out or get
    involved with a squeaker. some
    could argue the Jayhawks are
    feeding on the bottom of the
    Big 12 right now, but dont sleep
    on any of them the rest of the
    season.
    That is the thing that comes
    with his territory. When youre
    the leader of the team, you have
    to do that. sherron is the point
    guard, the leader, the general
    of our team. We look to him to
    make big shots, but he loves it.
    He enjoys being in that position.
    Cole Aldrich on Sherron Collins leadership
    and taking control of games.
    iowA StAte
    (12-6)
    StArterS
    Diante Garrett, guard
    Garretts the defnition of a pass-frst point
    guard, averaging a solid 5.2 assists per game.
    His 8.4 scoring average is certainly respectable,
    but the Jayhawks would do well to keep their
    hands in the passing lanes when Garrett has
    the ball. His favorite targets are craig Brackins
    and marquis Gilstrap, the only cyclones to av-
    erage double-fgure scoring.
    Scott Christopherson, guard
    christopherson was thrust into the lineup
    by the bizarre departure of Lucca staiger.
    staiger, in between road games at Nebraska
    and Texas Tech, took a contract to play pro-
    fessional basketball in Germany and left the
    team. In christophersons frst start, he went
    3-of-10 from the feld (3-for-6 from three
    point range), to fnish with nine points and
    four rebounds.
    Marquis Gilstrap, forward
    Gilstrap has been an absolute beast since
    coming to Iowa state and is the frontrunner
    for Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. He has a
    great scorers touch, averaging 14.9 points per
    game, but the most impressive thing about
    him is his rebounding. From the small forward
    position, Gilstrap averages an impressive 9.1
    rebounds per game.
    Craig Brackins, forward
    Brackins is one of the top players in the Big 12,
    but its a surprise that hes even around this
    year to be that. most experts pegged Brackins
    as a lottery pick and a surefre early
    entry into the 2009 NBA draft. He
    wasnt cole Aldrich with the
    chance to come back and play
    for a national title contender,
    but Brackins had his
    reasons, and Iowa
    state is better for it. He averages a
    team-high 16.2 points per game, to
    go along with 8.2 boards.
    Justin Hamilton, center
    Hamiltons an efcient scorer in
    the paint, shooting 73.5 percent
    from the feld, but
    hes hardly flling
    up the stat sheets.
    He averages just
    4.9 points and
    3.7 rebounds
    while getting
    17 minutes per
    game. Hamilton
    also averages a
    block per contest.
    Sixth Man
    LaRon Dendy, forward
    Dendy, a junior college transfer
    from Indian Hills community
    college, gives the cyclones a solid
    burst of the bench. Even though
    hes a power for-
    ward, hell see his minutes
    elevated after the departure of staiger,
    just so the cyclones can have fve men on
    the foor. If its necessary which it is now
    the cyclones can move Brackins to small
    forward and Gilstrap to shooting guard and
    put Dendy in at the four. Dendys best game
    came against Texas, when he came of the
    bench for 14 points and six rebounds.

    Theres simply not enough talent
    on the cyclones to run with kan-
    sas, especially since staiger bailed
    on the team. Brackins can be ex-
    pected to be stellar as usual, and it
    should be entertaining at the very
    least to see him and marcus morris,
    who is quickly turning into one of
    the best post players in the Big 12,
    square of. Another match up to
    watch is marquis Gilstrap againt
    Xavier Henry. Gilstrap is one of the
    most talented players Henry has
    lined up opposite this year, and the
    kansas freshman could take a few
    notes on how to rebound from the
    three position from the 6-foot-7
    Gilstrap.
    Craig Brackins
    Brackins, a preseason All-Big 12
    teammate of sherron collins and
    cole Aldrich,
    tore the Jay-
    hawks to pieces
    the last time
    kansas was in
    Ames. Brack-
    ins put up 42
    points and 14
    rebounds, but
    the Jayhawks
    held on to win 82-67, due in part
    to a 26-point outburst by sherron
    collins, and in part to Brackins ut-
    ter lack of a supporting cast. While
    he picked up an excellent team-
    mate in marquis Gilstrap this year,
    theres still not enough to knock of
    the Jayhawks.
    Can Scott Christopherson fll
    the void?
    Lucca steiger wasnt exactly
    sherron collins, but he was vital to
    Iowa state. The 6-foot-5 German,
    who left his team earlier this week
    in the midst of a two game road
    swing, averaged 9.4 points per
    game. The biggest contribution
    he made was, perhaps, being
    there. He was one more talented
    body for the cyclones, whose fve
    losses prior to Texas Tech were all
    to teams that are, at the very least,
    NcAA Tournament hopefuls.
    christopherson is a good
    enough shooter to warrant men-
    tioning hes hitting 50 percent
    from behind the arc but hes a
    bit of an unknown commodity. He
    should be fne defensively against
    whoever the Jayhawks start at
    shooting guard, Brady morningstar
    is probably the favorite, but even
    that you cant be sure of.
    An opportunity to play profes-
    sionally in my home country has
    come my way, and Ive decided to
    pursue it right away. I will miss my
    teammates and the great fans at
    Iowa state, and I know this is a bad
    time to leave.

    HILTON COLISEUM WILL ROCK IF
    Like most opponents against the Jayhawks, the cyclones make
    crazy shots. How many times this year has kansas run down the
    shot clock on the opposition, only to see them hit a contested or
    falling away jumper? It is especially lethal in a road gamejust
    look what happened at Tennessee. Last season, craig Brackins
    scored 42 on the Hawks in his building, so he is sure to be fred up
    for this game.
    BABY JAY WILL JUMP FOR JOY IF
    cole Aldrich comes to play. kansas fans have waited a long time
    for Aldrich to have a dominant game. We all know what sherron
    collins can do, but it would be nice to see Aldrich get something
    like 20 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks. Its do-able with his skill
    set, but we havent seen much more than a glimpse this season.
    Prediction:
    KANSAS 74, IOWA STATE 59
