The line stretched out the door
of Liberty Hall last night as approxi-
mately 400 community members
filed in to raise money for the vic-
tims of the Haiti earthquake. And it
all stemmed from a tweet.
I just tweeted Hey Im think-
ing about doing something, maybe
a benefit down at Liberty Hall, is
anyone interested? said Josh
Anderson, a senior from Perry.
I got a couple of really positive
responses and then after that there
was no stopping it.
Within 24 hours Andersons
friend, Nini Negash, a 1996 KU
graduate, offered to help orga-
nize the event and a local business
offered to donate food. Within two
weeks, roughly 30 local businesses
and community members helped
sponsor the event and another
30 businesses donated items and
gift certificates for a silent auc-
tion. Negash said the item she was
most excited about was a basket-
ball signed by Bill Self. Restaurants
including Genovese, La Parilla, Zen
Zero and Global Caf donated food,
while 23rd Street Brewery and Free
State Brewery provided funding.
Liberty Hall also hosted the event
for free.
Lauren Pollmiller, a junior from
Lenexa, attended the benefit after
hearing about it from Liberty Halls
Twitter.
I think its really impressive they
got so many local companies to
donate, Pollmiller said. Its cool
to come out here and show our
support and encourage things like
this to keep happening around the
community.
Anderson said the community
was extremely supportive from the
beginning. He said he barely had to
finish his sentence when asking the
performers to help.
All I did was ask a question,
Anderson said. Hey, do people
want to help? And the answer has
been a resounding yes.
Yuca Roots, The Dactyls, Rachel
Anderson and DJ Candlepants all
performed.
Anderson said he was proud of
the community for its support and
responsiveness.
I dont know how many com-
munities could respond in less than
two weeks time in the manner that
the community here did, Anderson
said.
Ticket sales generated about
$4,000 and Negash estimated the

Change
coming
for bus
routes
chariTy
concert, auction raise funds for haiti
by ALeese KOPF
akopf@kansan.com
Come next August KU stu-
dents and Lawrence residents
may be facing some significant
route changes to KU on Wheels
and the Lawrence Transit
Systems. The proposed chang-
es, based on ridership studies
and public input, are meant
to make the systems as effec-
tive as possible for students
and the community. With the
merger of both departments in
August 2009, the two systems
began to coordinate routes,
erase boundaries and make
joint decisions.
The city and the University
held a series of public meet-
ings this week for riders to
voice opinions and leave sug-
gestions for improving the
quality of service.
Mitch Knopp, Student
Senate treasurer and member
of the KU Transit Commission,
said the coordinated system
is much easier for students,
though it still needs some
work.
One of the biggest chal-
lenges that the system faces
is leaving behind too many
students because the bus is so
full, said Knopp, a senior from
Manhattan. I think its a good
problem to have, but it cer-
tainly needs to be minimized
as best as possible.
Abhijit Mehta, a second year
graduate student from Pune,
India, rides route 26 to campus
daily. He said he was much
happier with the route before
the two systems merged.
It used to take me 15 min-
utes to get to campus and now
it takes 25 minutes with the
new system, Mehta said.
He said the route changed
with the merger and the bus
is now usually full at 10 a.m.
when he rides to class. He
said future changes that would
make the system faster and
less crowded would be a major
improvement.
Nugent said ridership on the
merged system has increased,
but not dramatically. However,
data collected monthly from
the city indicates that riders
using student IDs have been
riding city buses more since
the coordinated system began
last August. In August of last
year, 22,855 students used city
buses while a month later rid-
ership had increased to 38,241.
By November that number had
decreased to 32,225, but thats
still significantly higher than
when the system began.
KU on Wheels has been
working with the Kansas
City consulting firm Olsson
Associates to help identify
inefficiencies and possible
improvements in the system.

HOUSTON Fire department of-

District Chief Fred Hooker said
some type of a blowup doll was on
the roof, the item defated and landed

Fire authorities said two stores suf-
fered minor water damage. Part of the
rooftop also sufered fre damage.
The remnants of the infatable
gorilla were seen at the site.
Chicken dodges cars,
eludes captors in city
GLENDALE, Calif. A chicken play-
ing chicken? Thats whats happening
on a busy Glendale street where a
black hen has been dodging cars,
captors and coyotes for two months.
Ofcials say the bird has been darting
into trafc outside Glendale Commu-
nity College since it was frst reported
Nov. 20. The chicken has drawn a
growing crowd of photographers and
journalists as animal control ofcers
struggle to catch it.
A spokeswoman for the Pasadena
Humane Society, which handles ani-
mal control in Glendale, said the bird
either runs onto the street or fies into
a tree when ofcers approach. Hillary
Gatlin said a humane trap has not
worked because the chicken doesnt
weigh enough to trigger it or she isnt
interested in the feed used as bait.
Gatlin said the standof could con-
tinue awhile.

More students are quitting the
copier, avoiding the cost to them-
selves and the environment.
Scanning has become a popu-
lar and eco-friendly alternative to
making copies because students
can e-mail scanned material to
themselves or save it to a disk for
free.
Jeromy Horkman, a service desk
supervisor at Watson Library, said
the scanners were popular because
they were free, as opposed to pho-
tocopies, which cost eight cents
with a KU card and 10 cents with
cash.
Weve definitely seen an
upswing in the use of the Easy
Scan as opposed to photocopiers,
Horkman said.
Youyang Xu, a sophomore from
Beijing, said she used the scanner
because she didnt have time to buy
the textbook she needed for class.
I have homework to read for
tomorrow so Im scanning it, she
said.
KU Libraries installed the first
set of scanners about a year ago
with funding from the Parents
Campaign managed by the
University of Kansas Endowment
Association. Smith said the scan-
ners cost about $20,000 each.
Watson Library, Anschutz Library
and the Art and Architecture
Library each received one scanner.
Smith said KU Libraries were even-
tually planning to purchase scan-
ners for Spahr Engineering Library,
the Music and Dance Library, as
well as additional scanners for
Watson and Anschutz libraries.
Smith said the scanners were an
improvement from photocopiers
because they were gentle on books
and helped save paper.
You can get what you need
quickly, you can get a high-quality
scan and youre not bogged down
with paper or the expense of print-
ing, Rebecca Smith, spokeswoman
for KU Libraries, said.
Sarah McLain, a sophomore from
Kansas City, and Anschutz Library
employee, said she usually saw five
or six people using the scanner
during one of her three-hour shifts.
She said students usually used the
scanner to copy textbook pages or
their classmates notes.
Its cheaper for them to just
scan it and e-mail it to themselves,
McLain said.
Horkman said the scanner at
Watson was especially busy between
11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and could
have two or three people waiting to
use it during peak hours.
Its been very popular, Horkman
said.

Alaska changes code
of ethics after Palin
JUNEAU, Alaska The fallout
from Sarah Palins hasty retreat
as governor is being cleaned up
by the man she appointed at-
torney general in her fnal days
in ofce.
Attorney General Dan Sullivan
has proposed broad changes to
Alaskas ethics rules that Palin
complained helped drive her
out.
Sullivans proposals are on
track to take efect after a review
of public comments unless the
legislature passes superseding
law. The prospects for that hap-
pening in an election year,
with many Alaskans worried
about job losses and energy
prices appear dim.
I think a lot of these issues ...
would beneft from the passage
of time, and likely are better is-
sues for the (next) Legislature to
take up, said Ramras, who often
found himself at odds with Palin.
None of Sullivans propos-
als would retroactively beneft
Palin, according to the states
ethics attorney. But they do
speak directly to complaints
raised during her tumultuous
two-and-a-half years in ofce,
and are aimed at clearing up
gray areas and, according to Sul-
livan, discouraging abuse.
There is also a sense that
some of this is simply cleaning
the slate of all Palins issues.
Palin cited the probes fnan-
cial and psychological toll as key
in her decision to resign. Her
legal bills have run into the hun-
dreds of thousands. Disclosed
costs incurred by the state have
neared $370,000.
You want to make political
points against Sarah Palin? Hire
a hall, said Rep. Mike Doo-
gan, an Anchorage Democrat
and former journalist. Dont
make the state of Alaska your
soapbox. ... This is really about
whats right here, for anybody
who fnds themselves in that
situation.

changes in eight of the current
16 routes. Nugent said route
changes will affect student
transportation. The most sig-
nificant changes will be the
addition of route 12 and tweaks
that will improve quality of ser-
vice to routes 26 and five.
The changes will not affect
the transit systems operating
budget, which comes from a
previous sales tax vote. Nugent
said the recommendations are
based primarily on ridership,
public input and overall route
evaluations. He said the contin-
ued coordination between the
two systems is a long and work-
ing process that takes patience
and skill.
Its a mind game, Nugent
said. Theres an art to it as
well.
Nugent said the city is always
open to suggestions on how to
improve services on the bus
systems. No final decisions will
be made until August.
Everything is on the table
and everything can be off the
table just the same, Nugent
said.

Route 26
Route 26 is currently over
capacity because of the
several large apartment com-
plexes it serves. Right now
the route goes from 25th and
Melrose to campus by way of
24th street, Naismith and 21st
street. The proposed changes
suggest continuing from 24th
Street and Ousdahl Road to
21st Street, thereby avoiding
Naismith. The modifcation is
meant to decrease pressure
on the route that usually flls
up with students before the
bus even reaches Naismith.
No changes are expected in
the frequency of service.

Route 5
Currently this route serves
as a cross-town connector
linking Wakarusa to the East
Hills Business Center just
outside of town. Proposed
changes involve breaking the
route into an east and west
route, with the west route in-
cluding all of Wakarusa Drive.
The route would also serve
at a 60-minute frequency
instead of 40 minutes.
Route 12
Based on the recommenda-
tions, this would be a new
route created to assume the
southern portion of the cur-
rent route 6 running from 6th
Street and Wakarusa Drive to
the KU campus via Bob Bill-
ings Parkway. The new route
would maintain route 6s 60
minute frequency.

K
ansas officials met
Tuesday to discuss the
passing of an overdue and
imperative state law to penalize
Kansas drivers who choose to
text while driving. This is an act
that will keep streets safe from
negligence.
According the Hands Free
Information website, the law that
took effect on the first of January
and bans texting and e-mailing
for drivers with a restricted
license remains in full force.
Both the Kansas House and
Senate proposed bills to extend
the ban to all drivers, and failure
to comply would result in a $100
fine. This bill, however, shouldnt
be necessary for drivers to prac-
tice good streetsense.
Texting while driving may
sound harmless at first, given
that this generation has grown
up with the development and
mass-dispersal of technology. But
it is only another impairment,
an irresponsible habit that can
cause damage. Kansas is not the
first state to recognize this issue.
Nineteen other states and the
District of Columbia currently
have similar laws in effect.
Strong supporters of a broader
federal ban include Verizon
Wireless and The Wireless
Associationcompanies that
agree drivers who text are
substantially more likely to be
involved in an accident.
According to the National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety, driv-
ers are four times more likely to
be involved in harmful accidents
when texting.
In Kansas, drivers without
restricted licenses who get into
accidents because of text mes-
saging are only subject to being
ticketed for reckless or careless
driving.
However, ticketing the use
of cell phones as being reckless
would be more difficult for law
enforcement to prove without an
existing rule as a binding refer-
ence.
Many accidents are the result
of negligent driving, leading to
injuries or fatal consequences to
passengers and other drivers and
making those negligent drivers
responsible for the lives or dam-
ages to others.
A law regarding the use of cell
phones would prevent car acci-
dents, saving the lives of not only
the victims, but also the offend-
ers.
Exclusively banning messaging
for restricted drivers makes the
habit appear to be something that
has to be practiced and only per-
formed by experienced drivers,
similar to driving on the freeway
or operating a manual transmis-
sion.
Texting while driving is not a
skill to be rehearsed; it is a haz-
ardous behavior that should be
habitually avoided.
Regardless of state statute,
Kansas drivers, especially teenag-
ers and college students, should
have the self-discipline to ignore
their cell phones while driving.

I wish I could do college over

I made a blanket fort
tonight. It was awesome.
n n n
Thanks for calling my
roommate and me gay, then
showing us your penis. Seems
contradictory, doesnt it?
n n n
Somebody love me?

n n n

Our roommate turned the
thermostat so high that we
went over on utilities this
month. So we are going to kill
her and burn her body to stay
warm this month.

Defnitely redefnes the
term burning calories,
doesnt it?

n n n
I have one question: How is it
possible to get poop in your
eye?
n n n
After six and a half years of
vegetarianism, eating vegan
ramen is delicious; salty, but
delicious.
n n n
This pineapple juice tastes like
soap. Fail.
n n n
When I said, I dont want to
talk about it tonight, I meant,
I dont want to talk about it
right now, you moron.
n n n
I sent my father a birthday
card containing pictures of
his cat and the time I built a
blanket fort.
n n n
Whoops. I think I hit a nerve
with some K-State fans.

n n n
I really want banana
pudding, but I dont have
pudding mix or milk and Im
too broke to buy any. :(
n n n
Also, Im pretty sure my man
pass should be revoked for
whining about pudding with
emoticons.
n n n
Vegetarians have no soul.
Its been scientifcally proven.

Thank you, ponytails, for
making the back of a girls
head look like a horses butt.

Thank you guy who uses
the urinal right next to me
even though there are literally
10 open urinals. Why not put
your arm around my shoulder
while were at it? Maybe we
can reach over and fush each

Y
ou may know that a
certain James Cameron-
directed movie not
named Titanic swept through
movie theaters last month,
becoming the second most-gross-
ing movie of all time with more
than $500 billion in total global
revenue.
That movie, Avatar, is the
latest pop culture phenomenon
(an honorable mention goes out
to Jersey Shore, a program that
shouldnt even deserve quotation
marks). It recently won a Golden
Globe for Best Drama.
Everyone has talked about the
films stunning visuals and special
effects. But, little has been said
about the story development and
dialogue.
As 3-D viewing experiments
are becoming the norm, televi-
sion and movies are changing
forever. But does commonplace
3-D movie viewing translate into
a progressive movie experience?
Until the arrival of 3-D mov-
ies, one of the qualities of a good
movie was whether or not it
made viewers feel like they were
in the movie. For me, the sign
a movie was good was if when
the credits started to roll they
brought me back to reality.
When watching The
Shawshank Redemption for
the first time, I forgot where I
was. Tim Robbins and Morgan
Freeman were talking to me as
if I was standing next to them in
the prison courtyardjust anoth-
er day. It was one of those mov-
ies where thinking was required
for the full experience. In other
words, I wasnt paying $10 to
watch giant robots based on
Hasbro toys blow up one another
for two hours.
Most everyone has fond mem-
ories of the violent fight scenes
in Fight Club; certainly the
inclusion of these scenes is what
makes the movie such a popu-
lar one. But, has anyone ever
stopped to think why the fight
scenes stick out? Its because of
the art in the storytelling.
When Edward Nortons char-
acter gives his famous I am
Jack narrations throughout the
movie or Brad Pitt demonstrates
the inner workings of movie
reels, the scenarios are so bizarre
that viewers cant help but think
about the character, about the
story, about something. Thus,
when you watch Pitt and Norton
beat the hell out of each other, it
means more to the movie.
The problem with standardiz-
ing 3-D in movies is that the one
element of a good 2-D movie
when you find yourself sitting
next to Morgan Freeman in the
courtyardis automatically
commonplace. This is because,
well, you really are in the movie.
How will movies such as Up
in the Air, Shawshank, or
Schindlers List find a home in
3-Da genre built for action
next to giant exploding robots?
They cant.
The point here is not to call
for the elimination of all genres
except drama. I could talk about
TPS Reports, Bond movies, or
ask if anyone knows where Doug,
from The Hangover, is all day
long; all genres have merit.
The fact that the technology is
even available to make a movie
like Avatar is amazing in itself.
But if 3-D, over-lade visual mov-
ies become the latest way to make
money in Hollywood, expect to
be stuck with less Shawshank
and more G-Force.

W
hat do you do when
one of your icons
doesnt have the law
on his side? Apparently, you
try and change who interprets
the law. At least, that is the
page in the playbook of an anti-
abortion group, Kansans for Life.
While protesting Roe v. Wade
at the Kansas Judicial Center
recently, the group announced it
would campaign against Kansas
Supreme Court Justice Carol
Beier in her retention election
later this year.
Why is this? Apparently
Kansans for Life didnt like some
recent rulings she handed down
in hearings involving former
Kansas Attorney General Phill
Kline. But, conservatives rallying
against so-called activist judges
are nothing new. People trying
to oust judges in retention votes
arent new, either.
I spent a summer a few years
ago interning at the Judicial
Center. Occasionally, I got to
read or hear stories when some
fringe group or another had
campaigned against a Supreme
Court justice and failed miser-
ably. I believe that none have
succeeded at all in this state since
the Supreme Court became an
appointed, not elected, position.
We can argue all day about
the merits of the rulings against
Kline. What he did, regarding
moving medical records subpoe-
naed from an abortion clinic in
Wichita out of the possession
of the Attorney Generals office,
did go against an order by the
Supreme Court. This matter was
settled about a year ago in the
hearing that featured Beiers con-
troversial ruling.
So, here we have the basis for
the ruling, and why the majority
opinion contained such harsh
criticism. (Kline was described
as showing little, if any respect
for the court.) But, is this the way
to fight for a cause? Coming to
the defense of somebody who has
been an awful spokesman for a
cause, and who hasnt been able
to win public election on either
state and county levels for the
better part of a decade?
The members of Kansans for
Life think it is, sadly. The group
will fail, as well they should; but,
they will continue on in their
inane efforts to fight against
reproductive choice, and we will
be forced to watch it all.
Why then, if the effort is
almost guaranteed to fail, is this
news annoying? Kansans for
Life is crossing a line when they
go after the Judicial Branch in
this way. The one non-partisan
branch of government is that
way for a reason, to make sure
that nobody interpreting the law
is beholden to the ideology of a
fickle electorate.
By targeting Justice Beier, and
threatening similar campaigns
against other judges, Kansans for
Life is trying to inject a fear of its
far-right beliefs into the justice
system itself. The statement it
makes is to rule the way we want,
not the way the law dictates, or
suffer the consequences.
We can take solace in the like-
lihood that the group will fail. But
if this level of ambition continues
past the upcoming election, it is a
given that we will be subjected to
more such campaigns, for equally
shoddy reasons.

3-D eliminates quality, art of flms
LeTTer TO THe ediTOr
Defense for alito is
purely political
I dont believe that United States
Supreme Court Justice Samuel
Alitos critical reaction to last
weeks State of the Union address
was particularly offensive,
although the defense of Alito has
offended me. The majority of his
conservative peers have jumped
to Alitos defense, but perhaps
they should reconsider.
Let us assume that one of the
two liberal women had reacted
to a conservative president the
way Alito reacted to a liberal one.
I can hear what she would be
called now: an over-emotional
and sassy drama queen. Had it
been one of the two liberal men,
there would be cries of childish-
ness, immaturity or sophomoric
behavior.
Or worse, let us imagine that
Obama had made a similar ges-
ture to Alito or fellow Supreme
Court Justice Antonin Scalia
while they were presenting a law
school lecture. Undoubtedly,
Ann Coulter and Glenn Beck
would be fighting to be the first
to prey on negative stereotypes to
account for his actions.
The point is that those who
most frequently criticize actions
like Alitos find no irony in their
current opposition to a page
taken from their very own play-
book.
The partisan criticism of Alito
was that he abandoned decorum
in order to criticize the presi-
dent. The partisan response was
that he is entitled to his reaction
to a president who shouldnt
have criticized him in the first
place. Lest we forget, this whole
debacle resulted from a mention
of a recent landmark decision on
campaign financing.
Yet, in discussions of the
Obama-Alito feud, those words
rarely, if ever, appear.
The fact of the matter is that
those jumping to the defense of
Alito have done so, not out of
genuine concern, but rather out
of political motivations. Partisans
have put aside a critical and pro-
found issue, instead opting for a
senseless response to a senseless
criticism that they would claim, if
given the chance. Unfortunately,
its our loss.

Stephenson Scholarship Hall will
be filled with video game, board
game and card game tournaments
every night this week in an effort
to help victims of the January Haiti
earthquakes.
The tournaments are part of a
week-long Hope for Haiti event
hosted by Stephenson to raise
money for Haiti relief efforts. The
week will include four tourna-
ments, each with a $3 entry fee and
a Kansas basketball watch party
Wednesday.
Stephenson President Ben
Tilman, a senior from Eudora, said
the event started out as a small idea
to use extra money from the halls
social fund to aid Haiti. But word
spread quickly among the scholar-
ship halls and Tilman said he now
expects between 100 and 200 stu-
dents to attend each night.
We were really just expecting
mostly friends from the hall and
maybe a few different people from
the other halls, he said. But it
seems like the entire scholarship
hall community is really embracing
the idea.
The event is geared toward the
scholarship hall community, but
Tilman said anyone is welcome to
attend. He hopes to raise between
$1,500 and $2,000 and find an
organization that will match the
donation.
The idea for the event origi-
nated when James White, a junior
from Kansas City, Kan., suggest-
ed the halls extra social funds be
donated to Haiti relief. Because
they werent allowed to donate the
money directly, the hall govern-
ment decided to use it for a fund-
raiser instead.
Dustin True, a sophomore from
Eudora and member of the Hope
for Haiti planning committee, said
he was impressed by the response
from the scholarship hall commu-
nity.
Ive been a little surprised about
how its growing so fast from one
little thing into, hopefully, a huge
event, he said.
Although raising money is the
main focus of the week, Tilman
said the tournaments would help
build community relations between
scholarship hall residents.
Definitely around the schol-
arship hall community, theres a
very strong sense of community
and people like to get together for
these kinds of things, he said. And
everyone wants to do something
for the Haiti efforts.
Tournaments start each night at
7 p.m., beginning with a Wii bowl-
ing tournament tonight.

on the Facebook event Stephenson
Hall presents Hope for Haiti.

With Haiti, everybody knows

Anderson said
one difficulty with

suspends adoptions
PORT-AU-PRINcE, Haiti Ten
U.s. Baptists arrested trying to
take 33 children out of earth-
quake-shattered Haiti say they
were just trying to do the right
thing, applying christian prin-
ciples to save Haitian children.
Prime Minister Max Bellerive
told The Associated Press sunday
he was outraged by the groups
illegal trafcking of children in
a country long aficted by the
scourge and by foreign meddling.
But the hard reality on the
ground in this desperately poor
country especially after the
catastrophic Jan. 12 quake is
that some parents openly attest
to their willingness to part with
their children if it will mean a
better life.
It was a sentiment expressed
by all but one of some 20 Haitian
parents interviewed at a tent
camp sunday that teemed with
children whose toys were hewn
from garbage.
some parents I know have
already given their children to
foreigners, said Adonis Helman,
44. Ive been thinking how I will
choose which one I may give
probably my youngest.
Haitis overwhelmed govern-
ment has halted all adoptions
unless they were in motion
before the quake amid fears that
parentless or lost children are
more vulnerable than ever to be-
ing seized and sold.
Without proper documents
and concerted eforts to track
down their parents, they could
be forever separated from family
members able and willing to care
for them. Bellerives personal
authorization is now required for
the departure of any child.

The freshman with a bandage
over her left eye sprinted up the
floor, demanded the ball and initi-
ated change. With freshman for-
ward Carolyn Davis, the Jayhawks
can win on the road in the Big 12.
Kansas edged
Missouri 61-59 in
the final seconds
with the emer-
gence of Davis
and improved
to 13-7 with the
Jayhawks first
Big 12 road win
of the season.
With 3.7
seconds left,
Missouri for-
ward Amanda
Hanneman flung a prayer of a
three-pointer into the air. Because
she didnt use the full amount of
time and rushed a shot instead
of focusing on form, Hannemans
shot clunked off the front rim.
Kansas snuck away with the
win and Davis was the reason. She
scored 20 points and grabbed nine
rebounds against Missouri.
Carolyn carried us, Coach
Bonnie Henrickson said. Shes
scoring when were not running
anything for her. How nice is that?
We ran one play that is designed
for her to catch a ball.
Answering the uncertainties
of her role, Davis established her-
self as the teams
newest offensive
centerpiece.
Shes hard to
move, Missouri
coach Cindy
Stein said. She
was getting good
position and hit-
ting the weak
side boards.
The rugged
and consistent
durability of
Davis and the three-point prowess
of senior guard Danielle McCray
kept Kansas afloat. But McCrays
effect had to wait.
She was relegated to the bench
for the remainder of the first
half after picking up her second
foul 11 minutes into the game.
So Henrickson repeatedly called
on Davis number to carry the
offense. And Davis delivered.
Shes got suction cups for
hands, Henrickson said. The
stuff she didnt catch, we threw it
around her waist. No post player
wants it there in traffic.
In McCrays absence, Davis
took over with 12 points and six

Windy City wonders Sherron
Collins and Jacob Pullen both tried
to upstage one each with momen-

In overtime, Collins, struggling
through cramps and hobbling
through a turned ankle, hit a game-
winner that made Kirk Gibson
smile somewhere.
And if it werent for all that, Ty-
shawn Taylors performance would
have been the hot topic.
Tanks to Collins, well forget
Taylors great plays, though his bad
plays will stick out among fans tired
of Taylors antics.
But outside of two mistakes, Tay-
lor played great. If you dont believe
me, believe Bill Self.
We dont win the game without
Tyshawn, Self said. He had a
couple of bad plays, but I thought
he played really, really good. Really
well.
Tats high praise coming from
a coach that told the media Taylor
didnt listen and talked too much.
Taylor may still be in Self s dog-
house, but Self knows Taylor is the
piece that can make this team the

MANHATTAN Combine
the game-winning layup against
Cornell and locker room return
against Memphis, and you have
Sherron Collins latest master-
piece.
The heroics Collins showed in
the second half and overtime of the
81-79 victory against Kansas State
Saturday were good enough to win
an award for Best Drama.
He has a flair for the dramatic,
coach Bill Self said.
With sophomore forward Marcus
Morris fouling out of the game and
junior center Cole Aldrich trying
to avoid the same fate in the games
final minutes, the Jayhawks needed
their leader to take over.
But when Collins limped off
the court late in the second half
because of cramps, the Jayhawks
were without their go-to man.
Collins returned to the game
with about a minute left in over-
time, and the Jayhawks leading
77-76. Self drew the same play
Collins used to topple Cornell ear-
lier this season and it yielded the
same result. He drove to the hoop,
put up a wild shot and sank it while
drawing the foul.
Really, I was just trying to get
fouled and get to the line, but it was
open so I scored it, Collins said.
It felt good. Especially against
K-State.
With 16 points and four assists,
Collins said he tweaked his ankle at
one point. But it was cramps from
pregame warm-ups that caused
him to leave the game.
I think I wasted too much
energy just waiting on the game,
Collins said. Coach had to tell me
in pregame to calm down.
For the Jayhawks to win that
game, they needed a player not
only with the skill set, but the will
to carry his team to victory in
the most dire situations. Luckily,
Collins is that type of player.
Hes the best player in America
to me, junior guard Brady
Morningstar said. Hes huge for
us in the clutch. When we need a
score, we give the ball to him and
he goes and does what I call makes
money.
In the first half, the two best
players were the starting big men.
Aldrich had 18 points and 11
rebounds, but had to play less aggres-
sively so he wouldnt foul out late in
the game. Morris had 13 points
and 10 rebounds
and fouled out
with about four
minutes to go in
regulation.
And like so
many times before,
Aldrich watched as
his teammate took
over in the waning
minutes.
If anybody,
I want Sherron
taking the shot,
he said. I love
Sherron. Weve been through so
much and Ive got all the confi-
dence in him in the world.
To keep the game close when
Collins sat out, the Jayhawks needed
sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylors
12 points and Morningstars 14.
With three of their top four scor-
ers laboring, Morningstar said the
whole team had to step up.
We need to learn how to play
without a couple of our key players
and thats how you grow up as a
team, he said.
Collins scored a total of 17
points in his previous two games,
both blowouts. Looking back at
Memphis, Cornell, Nebraska and
Baylor, just to name a few games
Collins took over in this year, he
isnt surprising anybody at this
point.
Im not shocked at all,
Morningstar said,
I see it in practice,
I see it in games.
Hes a ball player,
thats what he
does.
With No. 1
Kentucky losing
earlier in the week
and No. 2 Kansas
toppling a No. 11
K-State team, the
No. 1 ranking is
most likely back
with the Jayhawks.
But Collins said being two games
up in the Big 12 means more at
this point.
Playing the way they are right
now, the Jayhawks have much loft-
ier goals.
Rankings dont mean anything
because at the end of the year,
theres only going to be one No. 1,
Collins said.

T
he term expansion has been
thrown around college athlet-
ics the past 15 years. One of the
conferences at the forefront in Division
1-A is the Big 10, which strangely enough
has 11 teams (Thanks for the confusion
Penn State). The Big 10s quest to enlarge
itself has become a reality in the last six
months as the Big 11 wants to become
a dirty dozen. Teams it is considering
include Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Notre Dame
and Missouri. Yes, our rivals to the east
are considering leaving the conference
that made it who it is.
Since 1907, the Tigers from Columbia
have been a part of the Big 12 in all its
forms. It was originally known as the
Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic
Association, then the Big Six, Big Seven
and, lastly, the Big Eight. This poten-
tial disaster of a move is prompted by
academics. Missouris complaints of
revenue sharing and threats to move to a
conference where it feels it can compete
are ridiculous. In other words, Mizzou
is tired of dealing with the Texases and
Oklahomas of the Big 12 and wants to
deal with the Ohio States and Michigans
of the world.
If Missouri goes through with this deci-
sion, they will have fallen into the trap of
big-time athletics and will set tradition
aside for a few spare dollars though
Missouri made $8.4 million on athletics
alone in 2007-08 , according to the Omaha
World-Herald but Missouri, go make
more money. Most people who want a
Tiger trip to the Big 11 point out the
fact that Missouri is tired of schools like
Texas and Oklahoma that have a major-
ity of the shared revenue and make more
money off merchandise than the Tigers
do. Hey Mizzou, its called a fanbase. Get
one.
With the potential Missouri defection,
one of the nations oldest rivalries would
definitely be in jeopardy as the Jayhawks
yearly clash with the Tigers will be put
in favor of the always sexy, made-for-TV
matchup of Missouri and Iowa. The seeds
of Missouri Athletics have been sowed in
different forms of the Big 12. If Missouri
chooses to leave, it will show that the
schools hierarchy is willing to stiff arm
tradition when a nice set of greenbacks is
staring them in the face.
The biggest line in a set of excuses
from the clowns I mean pro-Big 10
Tiger faithful is the benefit of academ-
ics. Yes, I will admit Missouri is a good
institution, but Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon
also a Missouri alumnus all but
degraded Texas Tech and Oklahoma State
by saying, Im not going to say anything
bad about the Big 12, but when you com-
pare Oklahoma State to Northwestern,
when you compare Texas Tech to
Wisconsin, I mean, you begin looking at
educational possibilities that are worth
looking at. The Big 12 has fine academic
institutions, so dont look at your school
and compare it to other institutions
because theyre all above Missouri in class
and loyalty.
If Missouri wants to sell out and
move to greener pastures then Ill help
them move. Ill even call them a mov-
ing company. To take a quote from Shaq,
Send this to The Maneater (Mizzous
Newspaper), big10mizzou.com. I dont
care.

WASHINGTON Chris Wright
and Georgetown put on a show for
the commander in chief.
With President Barack Obama
and Vice President Joe Biden seat-
ed in the front row, the No. 7 Hoyas
stole the game from No. 8 Duke,
forcing five turnovers in a two-
minute, first-half spurt on the way
to an 89-77 victory Saturday.
It couldnt have been a much
bigger day for Georgetown: the
president attending his first Hoyas
game, the first sellout of the season
in the 20,000-seat Verizon Center,
a crowd mostly sporting We Are
Georgetown T-shirts in a school-
sponsored gray out, the 200th win
for coach John Thompson III, the
launch of an initiative for Darfur
schools, and, of course, a dominant
program from the Atlantic Coast
Conference in the building.
Wright seemed pumped for it
all, scoring 21 points on 8-for-9
shooting and making two defen-
sive plays that helped ignite an 18-3
run and gave the Hoyas the lead for
good in the first half. Greg Monroe
also scored 21, and Austin Freeman
added 20 points for Georgetown
(16-4), which shot 77 percent in
the first half and 72 percent for
the game.
Nolan Smith scored 19 points,
Kyle Singler had 18 before foul-
ing out with 2:10 to play, and Jon
Scheyer added 17 for the Blue
Devils (17-4), who shot 37 per-
cent.
Duke committed 15 turnovers
one fewer than Georgetown
but they came in bunches in rare
series of breakdowns from coach
Mike Krzyzewskis team.
The key first-half sequence
began when Wright blocked
Smith from behind on an out-
side jump shot, then seconds later
stole the ball from Smith under
the basket. Then came turnovers
by Miles Plumlee, Smith and two
by Scheyer, including a charging
call. Jerrelle Benimon and Hollis
Thompson each got a steal during
the run, a needed boost from the
thin Georgetown bench.
By the time it was over, Duke
had gone nearly four minutes with-
out a field goal, and Georgetown
led 34-20.
Georgetown went 17 for 22 from
the field in the first half and led
46-33 at the break.
The Blue Devils tried in vain
to make a game of it in the sec-
ond half. A pair of 3-pointers in
the first couple minutes cut the
lead to seven, but two more turn-
overs led to a 6-0 run and restored
Georgetowns 13-point lead.
The Blue Devils cut the deficit
to seven once more at 52-45, but
Monroe stopped that momentum
with a spin move in the paint and
a big pump of the arm to cel-
ebrate. There were plenty of free
throws from there in a game that
had nearly as many fouls (52) as
rebounds (54).

AUSTIN, Texas Freshman
guard A.J. Walton, a 47 percent
free-throw shooter, made three
of four foul shots in the final 17
seconds of overtime and No. 24
Baylor beat No. 6 Texas 80-77 on
Saturday.
Baylor led 77-76 before Walton
made the second of two free
throws. Texas Justin Mason made
one of two before Walton got to the
line again with 10 seconds left and
calmly hit both.
Texas had one last chance to tie
it but Avery Bradleys 3-pointer
bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
Baylor (16-4, 3-3 Big 12) got
its first regular-season win over
Texas (18-3, 4-2) since 1998.
Tweety Carter led the Bears with
27 points.
Texas rallied from 14 points
down early in the second half.
Damion James had 20 points and
a career-high 19 rebounds for the
Longhorns, but fouled out in the
final minute of overtime.
Walton finished with 14 points
behind 6-of-7 shooting on free
throws. The Bears also scored 27
points off 18 turnovers.
Texas has lost three of four since
reaching No. 1 in the nation for the
first time in school history.
The Longhorns could have used
Waltons nerves at the line. One
of the worst free-throw shooting
teams in the country, Texas went 19
of 31 against the Bears.
One of those misses, by the
Longhorns best shooter, JCovan
Brown (94 percent), would have
given Texas a three-point lead with
16 seconds left in regulation.
Given that opportunity to tie it
with a basket, Baylor sent the game
into overtime when Ekpe Udoh
shot an airball on a 3-pointer but
Texas left Anthony Jones all alone
underneath to snag the ball and
drop in an uncontested layup with
0.3 seconds left.
Udoh, 0 for 11 from the field to
that point, then made Baylors first
three baskets in overtime. He hit a
soft hook over Dexter Pittman and
converted an easy layup when he
drove the lane through a group of
Texas defenders.
Brown cut the lead with a
3-pointer, then turned the ball over,
leading to Udohs dunk.
Two free throws by Walton
pushed the Baylor lead to 71-67.
Udoh fouled out with 1:12 left and
James got Texas to 75-73 with two
free throws and a dunk after he
stole the ball at midcourt from
Carter.
Texas had won 24 in a row over
Baylor before the Bears beat the
Longhorns in the Big 12 tourna-
ment last season. For the Bears,
Saturdays win was just the seventh
in their last 51 conference road
games.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
NFL
AFC wins Pro Bowl in new location
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI In its new role as a
warmup to the Super Bowl, the
Pro Bowl became a series of wind
sprints.
Long gains were the rule and
hard hitting was the exception as
the AFC beat the NFC 41-34 on
Sunday night.
Light showers fell for much of
the game, stirring memories of a
rainy Super Bowl in Miami three
years ago.
Matt Schaub of the Houston
Texans threw for 189 yards and
two AFC scores, and was chosen
the most valuable player.
This is a game you watch as
a kid and you hope to be able to
play in, Schaub said.
Aaron Rodgers also threw
two touchdown passes, and NFC
teammate DeSean Jackson had
two scoring catches.
Spectators included Peyton
Manning, Drew Brees and other
Pro Bowl players from the Super
Bowl teams. Manning and the
Indianapolis Colts will face Brees
and the New Orleans Saints on
the same field next Sunday in the
biggest game of the season.
The NFL sought to transform
the Pro Bowl into a bigger game
by playing it before the Super
Bowl for the first time. In a one-
year experiment to Miami, the
league also moved the game from
Honolulu, its home since 1980.
The stadium was half empty by
the third quarter, perhaps partly
because of the rain and tempera-
tures in the 60s. It was sunny and
82 in Honolulu at game time.
Nearly 40 percent of the play-
ers originally selected for the
game didnt play. One of the AFC
replacements, David Garrard,
threw for 183 yards, including
a 48-yard touchdown to Vincent
Jackson.
Its so awesome, Garrard said.
One of my goals coming into
the game was to just be relevant
and show all the people who said,
What is he doing in there? The
Pro Bowl has dropped off a few
pegs, that I do belong.

Senior guard Sherron Collins
It wasnt necessarily his most scintillating
performance, but Collins was there when the
teamneeded himmost, as he is wont to be. He
fought of a bout of cramps to hit, essentially,
the game winning layup with nine seconds left.
Collins shot 7-of-14 fromthe feld for 16 points
to go along with four assists.
We caught a break on it being a no-call,
but I dont believe there was a foul because
I cant see from the other end. Unless the
call goes the other way, then I can see pretty
good.

1St half (SCore

16:14- After Dominique
Sutton gave K-State their frst
points of the game, Xavier
Henry silenced the crowd driv-
ing to the hoop for a two-point
lay-in. (4-2)
10:37- After an odd series of
ball juggling, Sherron Collins
had a two-on-three and came
out on top with an alley-oop to
TyshawnTaylor to tie the game

Game to forget

Xavier henry
Henry played well when he did play, going
3-of-5 fromthe feld for six points, to go along
with four rebounds. Hes not seeing any playing
time, though. He played just 16 minutes today,
eight of themin the frst half, and just one
of themin the overtime period. Hell have to
minimize his turnover numbers he had four
turnovers against Kansas State if hes going to
get his minutes back.

Manhattan about 30 miles from
Manhattan, on I-70 in between Lawrence
and Manhattan, theres a University of
Kansas billboard. It used to read Rock
Chalk Jayhawk, but scrawled over it in
white paint are four letters: EMaW, short
for Every man a Wildcat, the new unof-
ficial slogan of Kansas State athletics.
the billboard is a reflection of Wildcat
fans new attitude on their basketball team,
that Kansas State is no longer a second-tier
program in the state of Kansas.
Its the sixth man, said
Kansas State sophomore
guard Jacob Pullen, who
finished with a game-high
22 points. It really affected
them at times. they werent
able to call sets in time. the
crowd did a great job for us.
We just had to finish it out
and we just werent able to
do that.
Cole aldrich, junior cen-
ter, will readily give them
credit, but hes not ready to give up the
title of top team in the state quite yet, as he
helped carry the Jayhawks to an 81-79 vic-
tory in the most hostile environment theyve
faced all year.
their fans today were great. they were
yelling all sorts of things and they really
helped their team out today, aldrich said.
K-State is a heck of a team.
the big man from Bloomington, Minn.,
scored eight points in the first eight min-
utes en route to domineering a 18-point,
11-rebound performance.
I think this was one of those games,
aldrich said, that youre going to get done
playing basketball and youre going to look
back and say, Man, I loved playing that
game. that was one of the most fun games
Ive ever played in.
What made aldrichs performance all the
more impressive was the fact that he played
his last 10 minutes and 51 seconds with four
fouls, the last nine-plus of them without
Marcus Morris, sophomore forward, who
fouled out with just over four minutes left
in regulation.
that fourth foul was really dumb,
aldrich said. I kind of got upset at myself
for a second after getting it, but I knew
that it was about eight minutes left in the
game and I knew hey, I cant dwell on it,
Ive got to get back out there and help my
team win.
aldrich quickly found his way to the
bench after his fourth foul, but, with just
under six minutes left in regulation, he and
Marcus Morris checked back
into the game with four fouls
apiece.
When Marcus Morris
picked up his fifth just a
minute and 40 seconds later,
it became imperative that
aldrich refrain from getting
his, else he leave the team
with just one post, Markieff
Morris, sophomore center,
with more than 20 games
experience.
I knew I had to pick up the slack,
aldrich said. I told Kieff, I go, You know,
Kieff, weve got to make sure we get every
board. thats one thing Marcus really did
a good job of tonight. he had nine in the
first half. We just had to get to the boards
and making sure that we moved our feet
on defense, because we were both in foul
trouble.
When the game went to overtime, aldrich
did just that. he never did pick up his fifth
foul and, with nine seconds left and the
Jayhawks clinging to a 3-point lead, pulled
down one of the biggest offensive rebounds
of his basketball career, essentially icing the
Jayhawk win.
Coach said walking back to the locker
room, aldrich said. the big fellas back.

Despite victory, turnovers pile up
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
Kansas players huddle in celebration after Missouri missed its opportunity to tie the game with its last possession. Kansas improved to 13-7 for the
season after defeating the Tigers 61-59 at Mizzou Arena.
BY ANDREW TAYLOR
ataylor@kansan.com
When practice rolls around
Monday, screeches and sneaker
scuffs will be commonplace in
Kansas practice facility as players
run up and down the court.
The running serves as payment
for the 22 turnovers one short of a
season high committed in Kansas
61-59 victory at Missouri Saturday.
Coincidentally, the Jayhawks also
played the Tigers when they record-
ed a season-high 23 turnovers Jan.
17.
We were careless with some pos-
sessions, trying to make chicken
salad out of chicken you-know-
what, Henrickson said. We made
some bad decisions, but their pres-
sure is good.
Yet in both games against
Missouri, Kansas somehow found
a way to win. That generally boils
down to the fact that the Jayhawks
shot the ball extremely well while
playing solid defense.
We finally buckled down and
played some defense, senior guard
Sade Morris said. When we turned
the ball over, it was more us. We
made the mistakes, but they had
something to do with it.
During their first outing against
Missouri in Allen Fieldhouse, the
Jayhawks shot 50 percent. Kansas
followed that Border Showdown
performance with another excellent
shooting day Saturday, sinking 43
percent of its shots.
If youre not going to get more
shots, you had better shoot it well,
Henrickson said. It becomes a pos-
session game for us.
Its not all good news, though,
as Kansas seems to find ways to
overcome turnovers only in games
against Missouri. Since a victory
against Pepperdine Dec. 30, Kansas
has, to put it lightly, struggled as
it lost the turnover battle in all
eight games played in the month
of January.
Those are the things that have
been killing us recently, rebounds
and turnovers, senior guard
Danielle McCray said. We didnt
really improve on our turnovers.
The majority of those games
occurred after freshman guard
Angel Goodrich went down on
Jan. 12 with a season-ending inju-
ry. Goodrich averaged nearly two
assists for every turnover.
Henrickson recognized senior
guard LaChelda Jacobs and junior
guard Rhea Codio in need of
improvement entering the confer-
ence season.
I identified two things that con-
cerned me for us to be as good as I
thought we could be, Henrickson
said. One was rebounding and one
was the play of our back up point
guards. Now theyre playing all the
time.
But those point guards have not
improved significantly and the pair
continually struggle to maintain
possession of the ball, especially in
the set half-court offense. In the five
games since Goodrichs injury the
duo have combined for more turn-
overs (20) than assists (16).
Seemingly for that very reason,
Morris, a shooting guard, gener-
ally runs the point guard position
late in games. She did just that in
Saturdays victory against Missouri.
With Kansas clinging to a 5-point
lead with 12 minutes to play, Morris
took over at point guard. At that
point Kansas had already turned
the ball over 19 times. After Morris
replaced Jacobs, the Jayhawks gave
the ball away only three more
times.
Ill do whatever it takes to help
us win or put us in a position to
win, Morris said. If me running
the point late in the game does that,
then Im fine with that.
Edited by Kristen Liszewski
rebounds, giving Kansas a 30-26
lead heading into halftime.
Then McCray returned and used
Davis presence as a step to elevate
her own performance.
When Davis wreaked havoc in
the paint and attracted double-
teams, the Tigers had to shift their
attention. That resulted in open
shots for McCray, who finished
with 19 points, hitting 7-of-13
shots and 4-of-7 from three-point
range.
I get frustrated when that first
shot is not falling, McCray said.
I calmed down and let it come
to me.
After each long range shot,
McCray held her right hand far
above her head and trotted back-
ward. Each and every time, she
knew when it was falling.
Davis toughness and resiliency
helped make those sinking shots
that much easier for her sharp-
shooting teammate.
Late in the second half, Davis
rolled off a screen, slung her right
arm in the air and demanded a
pass. Seconds later she found her-
self on the ground after getting
pummeled by 6-foot-3 Missouri
forward Christine Flores.
Yet there was no
wincing or request-
ing of a substitution.
Just like her biggest
fans on the bench
who applauded her
toughness, Davis
sprang to her feet.
She needed no
replacement; just
the next play.
My screens
were getting my
teammates open,
Davis said. They
were calling mov-
ing screens so I made sure my feet
were set and I was rolling to the
basket harder.
And when she rolled, she found
a clear lane and was granted an
easy layup or, if that option wasnt
available, she passed to an open
teammate.
But Missouri wouldnt let up,
evening the score at 55 with four
minutes left. As time wound down
to the final minute,
both teams traded
baskets back and
forth.
It was Hannemans
last second miss
that ended this edi-
tion of the Border
Showdown. But it
was Davis and her
career day that dis-
oriented the Tigers
defense and proved
to be the difference.
For that kids
confidence going
forward, Henrickson said, its as
big as anything that could happen
in her career.

The womens tennis team had
their first match up of the spring
season and defeated the Drake
Bulldogs, 6-1 In Des Moines, Iowa.
Sophomore Erin Wilbert and
freshman Victoria Khanevskaya
won their doubles match, starting
the day off well.
It was really good for us to
get the first doubles point because
that gave us motivation to play the
singles matches, Wilbert said. I
was impressed with how our team
came out for the first match.
Wilbert and Khanevskaya were
one of two doubles teams from
Kansas that won Saturday. Junior
Maria Martinez and sophomore
Alessandra Dzuba also won.
Martinez and Dzuba are ranked
44th in the nation according to the
Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
In singles, five out of the six
Jayhawks won their matches,
including Wilbert, Khanevskaya
and Martinez.
We just played and had fun,
we tried to make every ball go
in, Khanevskaya said. I felt ner-
vous going into doubles, but it feels
really good when everyone sup-
ports you.
Senior Kunigunda Dorn won
the final singles match of the day
despite being pushed to a third set.
She finished 6-4, 4-6 and 10-8 after
a tie-break in the third set.
I knew that the whole team had
won so that took pressure off of me,
but I still wanted to win one more
game for the team, Dorn said.
After a positive day on the court
the team had some trouble getting
home when their bus broke down,
leaving the team at a Jimmy Johns
in Des Moines, Iowa.
Everyone is really happy, Dorn
said. Even though we are stuck we
are having a lot of fun.
Now the team must prepare for
Fridays match up against Notre
Dame at 3 p.m. It will be the teams
first home match of the season.
It gives us a lot of confidence
starting the season off with a 6-1
victory, Dorn said. We are just
going to play our best when we
face them.

SAN FRANCISCO Dior
Lowhorn hit consecutive 3-point-
ers in overtime and scored 22
points, leading San Francisco to
an 81-77 upset of No. 13 Gonzaga
on Saturday night.
Matt Bouldin scored Gonzagas
only three baskets in the extra ses-
sion and the Bulldogs (17-4, 6-1
West Coast Conference) lost for
the first time in 28 regular-season
WCC games.
Angelo Caloiaro made a 3 with
32.8 seconds left that helped the
Dons end a nine-game skid in
the series.
Lowhorn went 5 of 7 on 3-point-
ers after coming in 8 for 47 from
long range this season, sending
the Dons (8-14, 3-4) to their first
win over Gonzaga since a 73-70
victory on Jan. 20, 2005.
Lowhorn hit a tying 3-pointer
with 9.8 seconds left in regula-
tion after a miss moments earlier
and Steven Gray missed a 3 on
the other end. Kwame Vaughns
70-foot prayer for USF bounced
out off the backboard and rim at
the buzzer.
Rashad Green, moved into the
starting lineup by USF coach Rex
Walters to shake things up, scored
15 points and Caloiaro had 11
with three 3s. USF ended a three-
game losing streak.
Gray missed two free throws
in OT for the Zags after mak-
ing two with 25.3 seconds left in
regulation.
Bouldin finished with 15
points, standout Zags freshman
Elias Harris scored 21 points and
Robert Sacre added 19.
Gonzaga had won nine straight
overall and 22 in a row against
league opponents. The Zags had
to rally from 14 points down in
the second half of their 71-64 win
at Santa Clara on Thursday night
and then faced another tough one
on the Hilltop.

Te Jayhawks had a record-
breaking meet Friday at the Jay-
hawk Invitational.
Senior Lauren Bonds breezed
past a 3,000 meter run, breaking a
Jayhawk record of 9:33.24 with her
time of 9:30.9. She broke a school
record which had been standing
since 1992, but she came in sec-
ond in the race, which was won by
Emily Sisson, a high school senior
from St. Louis.
Bonds was aiming to break her
third school record the other
two being in the 1,000 meters and
the mile sometime this year, but
said she never expected to do ac-
complish her goal so early in the
season.
I hope Ill have another chance
to run it this indoor season, Bonds
said. If not, you know, Im just
happy I got it in the frst place. Id
like to lower my time a little bit.
Te Jayhawk Invitational is the
biggest meet Kansas athletes have
participated in so far this season.
More than 20 schools participated
in the Friday event indoors at An-
schutz Pavilion.
Bonds distance teammate,
sophomore Rebeka Stowe set a per-
sonal record running the mile, with
a time of 4:58.23. She fnished in
frst place. Tis is Stowes frst time
beating the fve-minute-mile mark,
which she said was a goal of hers.
She said she had been having good
workouts lately, so she knew the re-
cord was going to come soon.
I knew I was going to do it this
year, because its
what I expect-
ed, Stowe said.
I didnt know if
it would be this
race just be-
cause the feld
wasnt really
deep so there
wasnt a lot of
people in front
of me for me to
push of of.
Jayhawks also
took the third and fourth spots in
the mile. Junior Kara Windisch and
senior Kellie Schneider fnished
with times of 5:06.05 and 5:24.53.
In the mens mile run, Jayhawks
took the top
four spots, led
by sophomore
Donny Wasing-
er with a time of
4:14.41. Te next
three Jayhawks
to run across the
fnish line were
sophomore Ka-
leb Humphreys,
senior Bret
Imgrund, and
sophomore Greg
Bussing.
Freshman Taylor Washington
won the 600-meter run, fnishing
ahead less than a second of her
teammate, sophomore Shayla Wil-
son. Tis was Washingtons frst
victory as a college-level runner.
Tis is defnitely a start for me,
but Im trying to be a champ, a Big
12 champ, so its just a start, Wash-
ington said.

ROSEMONT, Ill. Wes John-
son scored 16 points and grabbed
13 rebounds, and No. 4 Syracuse
rallied from 18 down to beat De-
Paul 59-57 Saturday for its eighth
straight win.
Te Orange scored 16 straight to
cut their defcit to two late in the
frst half, then took the lead with
a 16-2 run in the second, escaping
with a victory afer DePauls Will
Walker missed a 3-pointer in the
closing seconds.
Kris Joseph added 15 points for
Syracuse (21-1, 8-1 Big East), in-
cluding a 3-pointer that started the
decisive rally. Rick Jackson scored
10.
Walker poured in 21 for DePaul
(8-13, 1-8), which has lost nine of
10 and three straight since a win
over Marquette that stopped a 24-
game conference regular-season
losing streak.
Trailing 52-43 with about sev-
en minutes lef, Joseph buried a
3-pointer to start the go-ahead run.
Andy Rautins connected from the
outside afer DePauls Michael Bi-
zoukas threw the ball away, and the
Orange kept coming afer the Blue
Demons Mike Stovall hit two free
throws.
Scoop Jardine buried another
3-pointer, and Johnson tied it at 54
with a one-handed fastbreak dunk
over Stovall.
Jardine gave the Orange their
frst lead with a layup that made
it 56-54 with 3:37 lef, and Joseph
converted a layup and hit a free
throw to make it 59-54.
DePaul stayed in it when Walker
hit a 3 with 1:08 lef, but the Blue
Demons could not bury the poten-
tial winner in the closing seconds
afer Rautins missed a 3, and the
Orange walked away with a tight
victory.
From the start, this was anything
but an easy afernoon for Syracuse.
Te Orange turned the ball over
on their frst two possessions, re-
sulting in a 3 by DePauls Stovall
and a jumper by Jeremiah Kelly
and more early-game angst for a
team that fell behind 14-0 before
rallying to beat Georgetown by 17
on Monday.
Tis time, they couldnt stop an
opponent that ranked last in the
Big East in scoring and feld-goal
percentage.
A 3-pointer by Walker, a steal
and layup by Mac Koshwal afer a
timeout, and a layup by Krys Faber
to cap a nine-point spurt made it
18-6, and the Blue Demons were
just getting started.
Another 3 by Walker started an-
other 9-0 run that Stovall fnished
with a foater, making it 33-15 with
8:53 lef in the half and whipping
the crowd into another frenzy.
It didnt last.
Arinze Onuaku scored and the
Orange reeled of 16 straight, rat-
tling the Blue Demons with their
press. A long 3-pointer from the
top by Rautins and short hook by
Jackson pulled Syracuse within 33-
31 with 1:48 lef before Faber hit a
corner jumper to make it a four-
point game and end a 7-minute,
40-second drought for DePaul.
