Students ask questions to Israel Deputy Consulate General Shahar Arieli Wednesday night in the Kansas Union during a student senate meeting. Arieli stressed that Israel is not only about conflict.

a different perspeCtive
Americans know. Israel is an unusual creature, Arieli said. We are different in our form of government. We are the only true democracy in the Middle East. Arieli said a difference in government and religion have made relationships difficult with neighbors of Israel, and said several Middle Eastern countries refuse to acknowledge Israel as a state. If you are interested in learning about the Middle East, the safest place you can do that now, in the Middle East, is Israel, Arieli said. It is very different from the U.S., but also very similar to the U.S. in terms of values, in terms of democracy and freedom. Israel is comparable in size to New Jersey Arieli said, with about 7.5 million people, and Israel had 3 million tourists last year. Our economy is different because we do not have natural oil or gas, Arieli said. We have to devote the only element we have, and that is the human element. Arieli said Israel flourishes in technology development and encouraged anyone studying abroad to consider the country for both its advancement and nightlife. Tel Aviv is alive at all hours of the night and it is completely safe, Arieli said, adding that violent crime and robberies very rarely occur. But Arieli acknowledged his country faces difficulties, saying that he believes its a part of international relations. When asked by a senator about the possibility of nuclear attainment by Iran, an attempt the Israeli government starkly opposes, Arieli spoke about safety concerns. Although our country is very safe now, it may be very difficult for that to continue if Iran has nuclear capabilities, Arieli said. You will see countries in the Middle East trying to arm themselves in what is already the most dangerous part of the world. Arieli said Israel will try to stop the country through diplomacy and military action is the last resort. Libby Johnson, student body president, said she felt the talk fourth most powerful woman. She graduated from the University in 1982 with a masters in geology. Lorraine Haricombe is the dean of libraries at Kansas and an accomplished scholar in the field of librarianship. Debra Kamps is a senior scientist for the Juniper Gardens Childrens Project at the University. Kamps earned a masters degree in special education in 1975 and a Ph.D. in special education in 1983 from the University. Linda Weir-Enegren is founder of Rainbows United and president of LS Industries. Weir-Enegren graduate for the University in 1977 with a Bachelor of Arts in speech communication and human relations. The program also honored 18 women with one of the 14 Womens Recognition Awards and 20 outstanding female students in on-campus housing or sororities. According to the press release, the awards were established to honor University female students, staff, faculty and alumnae who have enriched and improved the campus and community through their service, teaching or involvement.

was important for senators to hear because it was different. He isnt someone we would normally hear from, Johnson said. We got to hear a perspective different from what we hear a lot of in Senate, and that education is important for us.

funding for research rises for fourth year in a row

Research funded at the University increased to $240.1 million for fiscal year 2011, the University announced Wednesday. This was the fourth consecutive year of increase in research expenditures, up 6.9 percent from fiscal year 2010. $159.1 million of the research was for engineering and science related fields, and 81.5 percent of the funding came from federal agencies.

According to the National Science Foundation, the University ranked 76 out of 741 in research funding by institutions in fiscal year 2010. Johns Hopkins topped the list, spending over two billion dollars on research. The University of Missouri-Columbia ranked 82, Kansas State University ranked 112, and Wichita State University ranked 187. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little cited the increase as assisting the Bold Aspirations initiative.

A vital part of our mission as the states flagship university is to conduct research that benefits our state and society, Chancellor Gray-Little said in the press release. By making targeted investments new hires, new infrastructure, and new graduate student support in high-priority fields, well be more successful in bringing research funds, and the resulting benefits, here to Kansas.

Computer problems at DMV delay production

TOPEKA Any student who was celebrated a birthday Wednesday and needed a new ID wasnt able to get it. The Kansas Division of Motor Vehicles was still unable to issue new drivers licenses or non-driver identification cards because of persistent computer problems. Agency spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda said problems with a computer vendors server brought down the system at all 111 drivers license offices statewide. As a result, Kansas will be issuing 15-day extension slips for licenses and ID cards set to expire between March 30 and April 6. The offices, which receive about 13,000 visitors a week, are open Tuesdays through Fridays.

Romney struggles to find candidates

aSSOCIateD pReSS
WASHINGTON Tag. Im not it. Republicans considered to be up-and-comers are scrambling to declare a lack of interest in becoming Mitt Romneys running mate, taking themselves off the still-forming short list of wouldbe vice presidents. With Romney poised to win the GOP nomination in June, if not earlier, some of the focus has shifted to his pick for the No. 2 spot on the ticket. But no one is rushing forward and many of the top prospects are trying to shut down the conversation before it begins. Im not going to be the vice president, Sen. Marco Rubio said Wednesday. If offered any position by Gov. Romney, I would say no, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley told The Associated Press a day earlier. Ive taken myself off the list, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said recently. Its humbling, but Im not interested, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez said. Its not that bad of a job, is it? Well, it depends. John Nance Garner, who was President Franklin D. Roosevelts vice president, described the job as not worth a bucket of warm spit, among other characterizations. Part of the dance is trying to appear uninterested in the role of designated attack dog and potential GOP front-runner for 2016 if Romney falls short in November. Part of it is also preserving a personal brand; campaigning for the second slot and coming up short is embarrassing, as Pawlenty remembers from his unsuccessful effort to become Sen. John McCains running mate in 2008. McCain went with Sarah Palin. And, potentially, no one wants to play second fiddle on a second-place ticket. If Romney falls short in his bid to make President Barack Obama a one-termer, the fresh faces in the GOP today would be tainted as losers heading into 2016. Just look at Palin, the former Alaska governor. She flirted with running this year but ultimately decided against it, given her divisive reputation, lagging poll numbers and sour memories of the 2008 race. Palin offered some advice to the nominee, whether it ends up being Romney or someone else: Dont necessarily play it safe and do just what the GOP establishment expects them to do, she told Fox News Channel, where she is a paid contributor. It doesnt matter if that person has national level experience or not, theyre going to get clobbered by the lamestream media who does not like the conservative message. That may also be part of the reason why no one is rushing to join Romneys team.

Suicide bomber kills 10 people in a new wave of violence

KaBul, afghanistan A suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed at least 10 people, including three American soldiers, at a park in a relatively peaceful area of northern Afghanistan on Wednesday, part of an increase in violence at the start of the spring fighting season. The Taliban, which claimed responsibility for the attack, are targeting Afghan and NATO security forces as they fight to assert their power and undermine U.S. efforts to try to build up the Afghan military, who will take the lead in combat responsibility over the next couple of years. Shortly before noon, the bomber detonated his explosives at the gate of the park in Maimanah, the capital of Faryab province, police spokesman Lal Mohammad Ahmad Zai said. His target was unclear, but Zai said four of the 10 killed were Afghan police officers. At least 20 people were wounded, officials said. In Kabul, NATO said three of its service members were killed in a

Hungarian lawmakers speech criticized as anti-Semitic

BudapEsT, hungary A far-right Hungarian lawmaker was urged to resign Wednesday after making a speech in Parliament that was widely criticized as antiSemitic. In his speech, Zsolt Barath criticized the verdict in a well-known, 19th-century court case that had found several Jews innocent of murdering a Hungarian peasant girl. That verdict stoked anti-Semitism in Hungary at the time and led to disturbances in cities across the country.
On Tuesday, Barath of the farright Jobbik party commemorated the case by claiming the judge had proof of the defendants guilt but succumbed to pressure to acquit them to avoid seeing Hungary bankrupted by international financiers. Janos Fonagy of the governing Fidesz party accused Barath of opening centuries-old wounds with his speech. Two opposition groups, Politics Can Be Different and the Socialist Party, urged Barath to resign. We cannot tolerate barely concealed anti-Semitism within the walls of Parliament, Politics Can Be Different said in statement, describing Baraths speech as an incitement falsely made to appear as a history lesson. Rabbi Slomo Koves of the Unified Hungarian Jewish Congregation said Barath should face a parliamentary ethics committee. It is our daily experience that increasingly coarse, racist and antiSemitic speech is becoming permissible in the Hungarian Parliament, Koves said.

Wounded U.S. soldiers lie on the ground at the scene of a suicide attack in Maimanah, the capital of Faryab province north of Kabul, Afghanistan on Wednesday, April 4. A suicide bomber blew himself up, killing at least 10 people, including three NATO service members, officials said, the latest in a string of attacks as spring fighting season gets under way. A senior U.S. defense official has confirmed that two U.S. soldiers were among three NATO forces killed in a suicide bombing in northern Afghanistan.

Second offshore oil leak leads to lawsuit against Chevron

sao paulo, Brazil A Brazilian prosecutor filed a new $11 billion suit against U.S. oil company Chevron Corp. and drilling contractor Transocean Ltd for a second leak in an offshore oil field. The federal public prosecutors office said Wednesday on its website that prosecutor Eduardo Santos de Oliveira filed the lawsuit because of alleged environmental damage caused by oil that leaked from cracks on the ocean floor on March 4. It is near the offshore Chevron well where at least 110,000 gallons (about 416,000 liters) spilled late last year. That first leak led Oliveira to ask for $11 billion damages from Chevron and Transocean. Oliveira also wants the two companies to be prohibited from sending profits overseas. Last month, federal prosecutors filed criminal charges against 17 Chevron and Transocean company executives, accusing them of environmental crimes, of misleading

bombing Wednesday in northern Afghanistan. It provided no other details about the attack or the nationalities of the three. A senior U.S. defense official, however, confirmed that three were American troops killed in the Faryab

bombing. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information. Norway and Germany, which commands alliance operations in northern Afghanistan, said none of their troops were involved.

Iraqi fugitive vice president flees to Qatar and Saudi Arabia

riyadh, saudi arabia Iraqs fugitive vice president arrived Wednesday in Saudi Arabia after a four-day official visit to neighboring Qatar, the official Saudi news agency said. Tariq al-Hashemi, the top Sunni official in Iraqs Shiite-dominated government, is wanted in Iraq on terror charges for allegedly running death squads against Shiite pilgrims, government officials and security forces. Iraqi authorities issued a warrant his arrest in December, touching off
a political crisis in Baghdad and deepening the countrys sectarian divide just days after the U.S. military withdrawal. Al-Hashemi, who has denied the charges and says they are politically motivated, took refuge in the selfruled Kurdish region in northern Iraq, out of the jurisdiction of the central government in Baghdad. Earlier this week, he left Iraq for the first time since the allegations were leveled against him. He flew to Qatar and stayed for four days. Iraq called on Qatar to extradite him so he can stand trial in Baghdad. Doha refused the request. Saudi Arabias official SPA news agency said al-Hashemi arrived in the kingdom on Wednesday. A Foreign Ministry official said the Iraqi vice president was greeted by Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal in the Red Sea port city of Jiddah. There were no further details of the meeting. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.

Protest contained with pepper spray

associaTEd prEss
SANTA MONICA, Calif. Campus police pepper-sprayed as many as 30 demonstrators after Santa Monica College students angry over a plan to offer high-priced courses tried to push their way into a trustees meeting, authorities said. Raw video posted on the Internet Tuesday evening showed students chanting Let us in, let us in and No cuts, no fees, education should be free. Students were angry because only a handful were allowed into the meeting room, and when their request to move the meeting to a larger venue was denied, they began to enter the room, said David Steinman, an environmental advocate who is running for Congress as a Green Party candidate. Two officers were apparently backed up against a wall, and began using force to keep the students out of the room. Steinman said both officers used pepper spray. People were gasping and choking, Steinman said. Marioly Gomez, 21, said she was standing in a hallway outside the meeting with several hundred other students who wanted to get into the meeting. I got pepper-sprayed without warning, she said. Santa Monica College spokesman Bruce Smith said he believed it was the first time pepper spray had been used to subdue students on campus. It was the judgment of police that the crowd was getting out of hand and it was a safety issue, he said. Firefighters were called to the campus at about 7:20 p.m. Five people were evaluated at the scene and two were taken to a hospital, Santa Monica Fire Department Capt. Judah Mitchell said. Their conditions were not known, but the injuries were not believed to be serious, Mitchell said. Students have been upset over a new plan that involves the formation of a nonprofit foundation which would offer core courses for about $600 each, or about $200 per unit about four times the current price. The program is designed to cope with rising student demand as state funds dwindle. The move has raised questions about whether it would create two tiers of students in a system designed to make education accessible to everyone and whether its even legal under state education law. Community colleges statewide have lost $809 million in state funding over the past three years, causing schools to turn away about 200,000 students and drastically cut the number of classes offered.

Fired host tells his side of story on late show

LoS ANGELES Keith olbermann is remorsefulsort of. The freshly fired host from Current TV told his side of the story on Tuesdays Late Show with David Letterman, although it wasnt always clear how firmly his tongue was planted in cheek. He implied that he came to the network with the best intentions but was undone by its lack of resources. Current TV, the network cofounded by former Vice president Al Gore and legal entrepreneur Joel Hyatt, sacked olbermann last week after months of friction over his time spent on-camera, set issues and other problems.

Nicki Minaj translates nerves into memorable performances

MCClaTChy TribuNe
LOS ANGELES Underneath the stage before Februarys Super Bowl halftime show, Nicki Minaj felt an emotion she hadnt experienced in quite some time. She was really, really nervous. Over the last three years, the young rapper had become one of the most charismatic and commercially successful stars in pop music, with a gum-snapping flow and acerbic guest rhymes that stole the show from vets such as Mariah Carey, Kanye West and Rihanna. Only four months into 2012, Minaj has already headlined two of the biggest moments in live music, with her Super Bowl gig followed by an outlandish exorcism-themed Grammys set that was the talk of the telecast. Her new album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, is an even more daring document of a young artist holding onto her creativity while navigating major commercial stardom.

Digital Domain opens art institute

MCClaTChy TribuNe
LOS ANGELES Digital Domain, the award-winning effects company behind such movies as Tron: Legacy and the Transformers films, recently touted its new animation and digital arts institute as a pioneering public-private partnership with Florida State Universitys College of Motion Picture Arts. The project has created an uproar among visual effects artists in Hollywood, who fear it will encourage students to work for free at Digital Domains planned visual effects studio in West Palm Beach, Fla. The Digital Domain Institute, which offers a three-year diploma in digital arts along with a bachelor of fine arts from Florida State University, enables students to gain realworld experience by working for college credit on some of Hollywoods top films. Currently based at temporary offices, the institute will operate out of a 150,000-square-foot educational and digital production facility that is scheduled to open by January 2015. The site, which will include a visual effects studio, will be built on land donated by the city of West Palm Beach, which issued $15 million in taxexempt bonds to help finance the project.

Be careful with unpaid internships

hats the next best thing to getting a summer job while youre in college? Getting an internship. Internships are framed as an awesome way to build your rsum and get work experience before you graduate and actually enter the workforce. In some cases that may be true. In some cases you may actually get paid for them, but in many cases, taking an unpaid internship may be required to break into your field of choice. All it takes is that one internship to get you noticed by a potential employer. Internships are so valued in the United States that nearly 75 percent of students will take an internship during their college career. However, approximately 50 percent of internships in the United States are unpaid. Unpaid internships typically ask the student to pay for credit at their college as a way to get around paying the student and avoid being accused of taking advantage of them. Recently, Ross Eisenbrey,

By Angela Hawkins
ahawkins@kansan.com vice-president of the Economic Policy Institute has been speaking out against, possibly illegal, unpaid internships. He argues that the current system pushes lower middle class and poorer students out of the running for internships because they cannot afford to work for no pay. Besides paying for the credit hours at the university, the student would need to pay for gas and possibly housing and food in order to work. Instead of applying for internships, these candidates will go toward jobs. Eisenbrey also notes that universities get a nice deal out of this system. They dont have to pay teachers to teach the students. They dont have to provide facilities or facilitate the students learning. But they do receive money from that student. In a way, its a partnership. The university receives tuition, the employer receives a free employee and the bill is footed by an intern in search of work

That awkward moment when you dont notice your friend because youre too busy staring at Kevin Young. That feeling of dread when youre at the bottom of the hill and you realize your class is at the very top of the hill. I cant tell if the girl next to me is pregnant or rockin the beer gut. You just saw two bugs mating? I just woke up to my roommate and his girlfriend mating. Its that time of year, all year. To whomever has the Koowhip license plate: I love you. That moment of panic when you actually think the floss tightly wound around your finger is going to lead to amputation. The girl in the stands next to me is only standing and sitting when I do. I cant tell if shes trying to fit in or if she wants some of this. Yesterday I went to a campus bathroom and passed out for an hour. College life. Why yes, I do exfoliate. Prepare yourselves, the April showers are coming. Its raining. God must be mourning our loss of the national championship. Yes, Im the girl tearing up while walking and reading the uDK. Sometimes I completely wrap myself in blankets and pretend Im a burrito. Can Project X please quit littering all over campus? It makes me not want to go. Cheer on your fellow wildcat? What about your fellow Kansan? Here at Ku we can take out our anger on the teams we lose to by going to the street with the states name and tearing down all the signs. To the students who took down the Kentucky street signs: dont destroy our city! Thats trashy! On the plus side, there was plenty of parking, an ample supply of newspapers, and no lines at The underground today. Its funny how whenever stress kicks in, my fingernails magically start to grow only for me to bite them off again! Speaking of muppets, my anatomy teacher sounds just like Kermit the Frog!

experience. But not all internships will provide the same amount of knowledge as a class. Some may consist of making copies or filing papers. Unless youre majoring in organization, that may not be the most productive use of tuition money. Eisenbrey argues that the current system teaches employers that they dont need to pay someone to do entry-level work, like making copies. They can hire an intern to do it for them. The government realizes this, at least to an extent. Internships are addressed in the Fair Labor Standards Act. In the act, it specifies six criteria that a for-profit company must meet in order for them to legally offer an unpaid internship. One of the criteria is that the work must be beneficial to the intern. Can the employer defend how making copies is beneficial to you as an intern? Whose job it is to check the legality of an internship has been called into question? University career centers have too many postings to possibly investigate

every single one, and students just want to get accepted into a program regardless. So is it the government or the employer who polices this? What difference does it make anyways? According to a study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average salary of a student with an unpaid internship is $13,000 less than a student with a paid internship and even $3,700 less than a student with no internship at all. In other words, unpaid internships dont put students at an advantage in the workforce, and as Eisenbrey puts it in his blog, Unpaid work is exploitation. Students should think twice about accepting that unpaid internship and employers should think twice about not paying their interns. If they value the goals of their interns and the law, they should offer paid internships.

Anchorman sequel sure to Going Bovine a dark impress with returning cast and humorous book
ith the news that Will Ferrell dropped on TBS Conan, the Internet was going crazy with happiness. Yes, the highly anticipated sequel to the comedy classic Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy has finally been green lit, with all of the original cast returning. Since the release of Anchorman in the summer of 2004, three of the four members of Channel Four news went on to find themselves with a very solid career in Hollywood. Will Ferrell has done several classic comedy films, University of Kansas Alum Paul Rudd has found success as a main role and a supporting actor in many other comedy films, and Steve Carell found himself in one of the most famous TV sit-com roles in the past decade as Michael Scott of NBCs The Office. Comparing the three careers since the film has been released, its hard to tell who has had the most success. But by bringing them all back together, it doesnt really matter. I suggest you go back and watch Anchorman and notice how truly amazing the film really is. Its possibly the best comedy film in the past 20 years. That is not an exaggeration. To me, it is without a doubt, the greatest comedy film in my lifetime. Dont believe me? Go watch it. Right now. Do it. After that, come back and tell me how

jmoreland@kansan.com y main job here at the UDK is to expose you, the student body, to new and interesting books that you might not otherwise read one keyword being new. So, only after rifling through three-hundred of the nearly five-hundred pages of Going Bovine by Libba Bray did I realize the book was published over three years ago. (Thank you to my favorite bookstore and your supposed best new releases stand!) Luckily, another of my goals as a columnist is to introduce authors to a more diverse audience. Going Bovine author Libba Bray is relatively unknown despite having multiple New York Times bestselling-novels, though she has a cult following on Tumblr and other blog sitesand for good reason. Going Bovine is a dark comedy filled with veiled pop-culture references, sneering humor, and good old-fashioned craziness. The story follows Cameron Smith, a Texas high school junior, as he transitions from a typical slacker and loner to a demented victim of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, better known as mad cow disease. Cameron quickly begins to hallucinate and loses control of his body at the most inopportune times. Once Cameron is hospitalized, the story becomes very weirdvery fast. He is soon visited by a punkrock-angel messenger named Dulcie who tasks him with a cryptic mission to find his cure and save the world. Oh, and the cure for his illness is held secret by a mysterious Dr. X, a trans-dimensional, time-traveling genius, who is guarded by fire giants, spontaneous black holes, and a gigantic, sword-wielding knight named The Wizard of Reckoning. Yeahand thats only where things begin to get strange. Cameron must also take his fellow classmate Gonzo with him on his journey. Gonzo is a little

person with severe hypochondria and an addiction to violent video games. Much of the story follows a sort of buddy film script, in which Cameron is the levelheaded adventurer and Gonzo is the agitated worrywart looking to bail at the slightest drop of danger. Their constant bickering and improvised schemes make for quite a comedic duo. As Cameron and Gonzo escape and make their journey across America, Dulcie drops in from time to time to give them obscure clues as to where they can find Dr. X. Throughout their journey the two meet a diverse and interesting cast of characters including a demon-fighting jazz musician, a happiness cult, and a talking garden gnome. All the while, Cameron goes in and out of consciousness in his hospital bed, making him (and the reader) unsure whether his hallucinations are real or not. Going Bovine has the most bizarre plot Ive ever read (and Ive read some weird stuff!), and if youre not willing to follow author Libba Bray through all the unexpected twists and turns you may end up feeling annoyed. At times, I felt the constant mayhem and breakneck pace were irritating and repetitive, and I think the book is about one hundred pages longer than necessary. Nonetheless, I cant accuse Going Bovine of being slow or unimaginative. The wacky characters and fantasy-driven imagery will keep you along for a wild ride, whether you like it or not. I would describe the novel as Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy-meets-Scott Pilgrim with a modern pinch of Holden Caulfield-esque cynicism, though not as good as any of the aforementioned references. Still, Going Bovine is smartly written and laced with references to pop culture, mythology, philosophy and a lot more. Bray does not go a single paragraph without smirk-inducing humor. Overall, Going Bovine is a good and original read, just a little long and disjointed. I think its one of those polarizing books people will either love or hate. Check it out and tell me what you think. Moreland is a junior in accounting from Lees Summit, Mo.

Evaluating damages in Texas

associaTEd prEss
FORNEY, Texas As a twister bore down on her neighborhood, Sherry Enochs grabbed the three young children in her home and hid in her bathtub. The winds swirled and snatched away two of the children. Her home collapsed around her. Miraculously, no one was seriously hurt. Enochs, 53, stood Wednesday amid the wreckage of what was once her home in the North Texas city of Forney, among the hardest hit by a series of tornadoes that barreled through one of the nations largest metropolitan areas a day earlier. No one was reported dead, and of the more than 20 injured, only a handful were seriously hurt. If you really think about it, the fact that everybody who woke up in Forney yesterday is alive today in Forney, thats a real blessing, Mayor Darren Rozell said. The National Weather Service is investigating the damage caused by the tornadoes, which appeared to flatten some homes and graze others next door. The twisters jumped from place to place, passing many heavily populated areas overhead and perhaps limiting what could have been a more damaging, deadly storm. Most of Dallas was spared the full wrath of the storms. While tornadoes can strike major cities, having two major systems strike a single metropolitan area is highly unusual, meteorologist Jesse Moore said. The Texas twisters would have done more damage had they stayed on the ground for more of the storms path. But weather experts and officials credited the quick response to tornado warnings for preventing deaths or more injuries. In the Diamond Creek subdivision where Enochs home was destroyed, residents put on work gloves Wednesday and began cleaning up. Many noticed things in their front yards that didnt belong to them. Enochs doesnt have a clear memory of exactly how things happened Tuesday, but she was

A 3-year-old she was watching was found wandering around the backyard. A neighbor pulled another child Enochs had been taking care of, 19-month-old Abigail Jones, from the rubble. I heard the rumbling from the tornado and I didnt even hear the house fall, Enochs said. Abigail was taken to the hospital but released. The blonde, smiling child with bows in her hair was bruised on her cheek and forehead, but not seriously hurt. Her mother, Misty Jones, brought her back Wednesday to see what had happened. Seven people were injured in Forney, none seriously. An additional 10 people were hurt in Lancaster, south of Dallas, and three people in Arlington, west of Dallas. National Weather Service crews in Forney, east of Dallas, spotted storm damage that suggested the twister there was an EF3, with wind speeds as high as 165 mph. Other tornadoes in Arlington and Lancaster appear to have been EF2 tornadoes, with wind speeds up to 135 mph. Tornadoes can range from EF0, the weakest, to EF5, the strongest. An EF2 or higher is considered a significant tornado. A twister can hit one spot and continue for miles before touching down again, Moore said. Its difficult to explain why a tornado touches down when it does. It can destroy one house and the one across the street is fine. It can go back up for a mile or two and drop back down, Moore said. Thats all the crazy things that can happen with tornadoes. Randy McKeever and his wife and several of their friends sorted through what was left of their house Wednesday. Their roof was completely gone. The front yard was littered with shingles and pieces of wood. Inside was a jumble of belongings. McKeever, 47, wore work gloves as he tried to find anything that could be salvaged. Theres a bunch of stuff in there thats not even ours, he said.

Former senator is now hospitalized

associaTEd prEss
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. Former South Dakota senator and Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern has been hospitalized in Florida, his daughter said Wednesday. Ann McGovern told The Associated Press her 89-year-old father was admitted to Flagler Hospital in St. Augustine, Fla., on Tuesday evening for tests to figure out why he occasionally passes out and loses his ability to speak, she said. Hes comfortable. The tests are continuing to see if they can determine whats causing this, Ann McGovern said. Hospital officials said the elder McGovern is in stable condition. McGovern splits his time between Florida and South Dakota, where he was a South Dakota congressman from 1957 to 1961 and a U.S. senator from 1963 to 1981. He has been hospitalized several times in recent months. In October, he was treated for exhaustion in Sioux Falls after he completed a lecture tour. Two months later, he fell and hit his head in Mitchell, S.D., just before he was to be interviewed live on C-SPAN for a program called The Contenders that focused on failed presidential candidates who had a lasting impact on American politics. McGovern lost in a historic landslide his 1972 challenge against President Richard Nixon, who eventually resigned amid the Watergate scandal. McGovern regularly spends time at a home he owns in Mitchell, across the street from a library bearing his name at Dakota Wesleyan University. He also has owned a home in St. Augustine since the 2008 death of his wife, Eleanor. He and former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, a Republican, were honored that year with the World Food Prize, a distinction some observers have called the Nobel Prize for hunger. Their George McGovernRobert Dole International Food for Education and Nutrition Program, which was established in 2000 and funded primarily through Congress, provides millions of meals to children in the U.S. and some three dozen countries across the world.

Lancaster, dozens of young children cowered in the safe room of a day care near a local church. The storm pulled one of the walls back like you were peeling an orange, day care director Danita Harris said. The students were moved further indoors and rode out the rest of the storm safely, she said. Not one Band-Aid had to be applied, Harris said. Hundreds of flights into and out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field were canceled or diverted elsewhere Tuesday. American Airlines, which operates most flights at the airport, said it canceled more than 400 flights Wednesday after stopping about 800 Tuesday. An airport spokesman said more than 110 planes were damaged by hail. April is typically the worst month in a tornado season that stretches from March to June, but Tuesdays outburst suggests that were on pace to be above normal, said National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Bishop. Gov. Rick Perry plans an aerial tour of the damage on Thursday.

The Merchant of Death faces at least 25 years in prison

associaTEd prEss
NEW YORK A former Soviet officer dubbed the Merchant of Death for his reputation for putting deadly weapons into the hands of violent dictators and regimes is set for sentencing Thursday. Viktor Bout, 45, faces a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison and possibly life for his conviction on terrorism charges. His lawyers are making a lastminute bid to convince a judge that the case should be tossed out, along with last years jury verdict. They say he is the victim of a vindictive U.S. government sting operation. But in a sentencing memorandum, federal prosecutors urge a life prison sentence for Bout, saying his conviction stemmed from his willingness without hesitation and with frightening speed to ship a breathtaking arsenal of weapons, including hundreds of surface-to-air missiles, machine guns and sniper rifles along with 10 million rounds of ammunition to men he believed represented a foreign terrorist organization willing to kill Americans in Colombia. They say that his weapons fueled armed conflicts in some of the worlds most treacherous hot spots, including Rwanda, Angola and the Congo and that he was looking for new arms deals in places like Libya and Tanzania when he was arrested. Lawyers for Bout, who was the inspiration for an arms dealer character played by Nicolas Cage in the 2005 film Lord of War, say their client became a political prisoner after Drug Enforcement Administration agents coaxed him from his Russian home to Thailand, where he was arrested in March 2008. They say the charges stemmed from a madeup scenario to deliver weapons to rebels in South America to shoot down American helicopter pilots. The relentless pursuit of Viktor Bout and the abominable design to create a criminal case against him that brings him before this court for sentencing is the product of malice and object of private politics stemming from the then White House, defense attorney Albert Dayan wrote in a letter to U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin, a judge who recently ordered Bout moved from solitary confinement into the general prison population.

Uptick in errors as conference play arrives

Max lush
mlush@kansan.com Its no secret: The Kansas baseball team (12-16, 2-4) is struggling this season. If the pitching staff holds the opposition to only a few runs, the offense struggles to scratch a run on the scoreboard. If the offense scores runs in bunches, the pitching staff allows runs in bunches. All season long, the Jayhawks have struggled to put together a game where both pitching and hitting produce. But the Jayhawks have been able to rely on their strong defense to make plays at least until lately. Entering this week, Kansas was tied for 10th in the country with a .979 fielding percentage. In other words, the Kansas defense completed a play without committing an error 97.9 percent of the time. This season, the Jayhawks have committed just 22 errors in 28 games. But since Big 12 play started March 23, the Jayhawks have committed seven errors in eight games. Kansas committed another error Tuesday night, falling to Creighton 7-3. The error dropped the teams fielding percentage to .978. Despite only having one official error, the defense appeared shaky in other moments of the game. They rank second in the Big 12 in fielding percentage by Kansas State. Were doing really well, freshman outfielder Dakota Smith said of the defense. Its just one or two plays that happened. Smith dropped a fly ball, allowing two runs to score in the first inning on Kansas only error of the game. In the eighth inning, junior catcher Alex DeLeon allowed a runner to score on a past ball. Later in the same inning, the defense allowed a runner to score from third attempting to get another runner out in a rundown. We booted the one crucial play in center, coach Ritch Price said. At the same time we have a past ball in the eighth inning with Poppe on the mound. Its inexcusable not to catch that ball. Junior shortstop Kevin Kuntz is one of the defensive leaders of the team. Fields 97.4 percent of balls hit towards him cleanly. He said the team needs to play with confidence on defense. We have to keep practicing,

Junior infielder Kevin Kuntz loses his glove as he runs into senior infielder Zac elgie and gets tangled up as they both run to catch a foul ball during Tuesday evenings game against Creighton at the TD ameritrade Park in omaha Neb. where the Jayhawks lost 3-7. Kuntz said. Its all about reps. The more reps you can do, the more comfortable you are. With a team that features 15 players in their first year of eligibility, mistakes will happen in the field. The players and coaches said its important to move on from the mistakes and to learn from them. One of the things we preach to our players when you make a bad play is: Live for the opportunity to redeem yourself, Price said. Price said he left the Tuesdays game in Omaha, Neb., upset with how his team played in every aspect. But Price knows that in baseball mistakes will happen, but mature players will figure out away to pick themselves and their team up later in the game. The Jayhawks

Posey hits first RbI More than one star at Masters at park since injury
associaTEd prEss associaTEd prEss
SAN FRANCISCO Josh Donaldson started to show signs in the final exhibition that he might be a reliable replacement to Scott Sizemore, after all. Donaldson hit two homers and drove in five runs off Yusmeiro Petit, and the Oakland Athletics avoided a Bay Bridge Series sweep with an 8-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. Sizemore tore a ligament in his left knee during Oaklands first fullsquad workout this spring training, ending his season and thrusting Donaldson into the starting third baseman spot before a game had been played. Donaldson finished 4 for 5 in the finale, pushing his batting average up to .270. An otherwise quiet ending for San Francisco this spring training still had a bright spot. Buster Poster, receiving rousing ovations from fans every time his name was announced, cleared another milestone with an RBI single in the first. Both were firsts at AT&T Park for the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year since a brutal seasonending collision at home plate last year with Floridas Scott Cousins. Posey had been 0 for 2 with two walks in Monday nights exhibition in San Francisco. He also added a double in the fourth in the last spring training game. A sun-soaked day at San Franciscos cozy waterfront ballpark still belonged to an unproven slugger from across the bay. After a so-so spring training, Donaldson smacked a two-run shot to left in the second to put Oakland ahead 2-1. He followed with a three-run homer to deep left-center in the third off Petit for his only long balls this spring training. Donaldsons latest go-around in the Bay Area figures to last a little longer than his first. Originally a first-round draft pick of the Chicago Cubs, Donaldson was traded to Oakland in a deal for pitcher Rich Harden in 2008. AUGUSTA, Ga. Tiger Woods couldnt see the green through the trees, though that was only a minor obstacle. He choked up on a 5-wood and played a sweeping draw around the pines, over the water and onto the back of the green. As he approached the Sarazen Bridge to the 15th green Wednesday, the grandstand rumbled when fans suddenly rose in unison to see him walk by. Some of them held cameras as high as they could, clicked and hoped for the best. Woods is worth watching at the Masters for all the right reasons. All it took was one win at Bay Hill two weeks ago for Woods to even remotely resemble the guy who once dominated golf. He won by five shots, and, just like that, was elevated to the favorite at Augusta National. Everything is headed in the right direction at the right time, Woods said. But hes not the only star of this Masters. Rory McIlroy has all the traits of the heir apparent an easy swing that produces enormous power, a U.S. Open title at age 22, a tennis star for a girlfriend, and an engaging personality something that Woods is not. In his last 12 tournaments, McIlroy finished third or better eight times, including two wins and a brief stay at No. 1 in the world. Im in a great place, McIlroy said. I feel like my golf game is in great shape. There is so much anticipation about this clash of generations its as if they were the only two players competing for a green jacket, much like the days of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. Far from it. There probably hasnt been a Masters with more legitimate chances, Geoff Ogilvy said before heading out for a final practice round. I can understand people seeing this as a two-man race, but its never been further from the truth. There are more horses in this race than ever before. Luke Donald returned to No. 1 in the world three weeks ago by winning at Innisbrook. He is one of eight players among the top 20 in the world who have won this

Jayhawks slip to top 25 in post season polls

This season the Jayhawks reached their first NCaa Tournament since 2000 and made it to the sweet 16 where they lost to Tennessee. However, their efforts were rewarded again as they finished No. 25 in the final Usa Today/esPN Coaches Poll. This matches their ranking achieved earlier in the season. Kansas finished the season 21-13 overall and 8-10 in conference play. The Jayhawks earned an 11 seed in the Des Moines Region. Kansas is one of three big 12 teams to finish in the final poll despite seven being featured in the tournament. Junior guard angel Goodrich and junior forward Carolyn Davis were named all-american Honorable Mention by the WbCa. Kansas will only lose senior aishah sutherland to graduation, but is expected to retain the other players and add two recruits including four-star point guard lamaria Cole from Rudder, Texas.

year, a list that includes Woods and McIlroy, along with Hunter Mahan (twice), Steve Stricker, Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson, a threat at Augusta even when hes not playing well. And youve got a guy like Keegan Bradley, Ogilvy said, referring to the PGA champion who won the first major he ever played. Nobody ever talked about a Masters rookie with a chance. Theres more people in the conversation, isnt there? One conversation that was kept short Wednesday was Masters chairman Billy Payne refusing to discuss the all-male membership at Augusta National. The topic returned this year because IBM appointed Virginia Rometty its CEO, and the last four chief executives of Big Blue were invited to be members. All issues of membership are now and have been historically subject to the private deliberations of the members, Payne said.

He briefly played for the As in 2010 and hadnt done much since. Sizemore was acquired by Oakland last May in a trade with Detroit. He hit .249 with 11 home runs and 52 RBIs in 93 games with Oakland.

Sports experts predict next season rankings

KoRY cARPENtER
kcarpenter@kansan.com Its never too early to look ahead. The college basketball off-season is barely 48 hours old and most experts are already projecting next years batch of top teams.

Why Some Are high on the JAyhAWkS ...

Juniors Elijah Johnson and Jeff Withey turned into stars this March and both return as seniors next

season. Johnson averaged 13.3 points in the NCAA Tournament, highlighted by his 18-point game against Purdue in the second round. Withey broke a Final Four single game record with seven blocks against Ohio State. Role players junior guard Travis Releford, junior forward Kevin Young and freshman guard Naadir Tharpe also return, as well as now-eligible freshmen Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor. The incoming recruiting class is highlighted by McDonalds All-

American forward and Wichita native Perry Ellis. Four-star forward Andrew White will complement Ben McLemore nicely on the wing, as both players are able to really knock down shots from the three-point range. Depth will never be an issue and Bill Self will probably go nine or 10 players deep in November and December as he tries to figure out his rotation. Theres also the fact that Kansas deep Tournament run is still fresh on everyones minds, only helping the Jayhawks stock in

these early rankings. A Final Four shouldnt be expected but a ninth consecutive Big 12 Championship is certainly within reach.

Junior forward Thomas Robinson was the only unanimous First-Team All-American and his replacement looks to be a true freshman. Perry Ellis will be good, but he wont be close to Thomas Robinsons numbers in his first

Why otherS Arent AS impreSSed ...

season. Jeff Withey looks to be great next season, but he might see his first double-teams as well. Robinson kept post defenders honest and Withey was able to get a lot of great looks at the basket off Robinson double-teams. Withey will be the first option down low and his offensive game will have to catch up to his defensive prowess if this run of great Kansas big men is set to continue. While Elijah Johnson was tremendous much of the last month, he wont have

a security blanket like Tyshawn Taylor next to him next season in the back court. Johnson will probably be teamed with Travis Releford and Ben McLemore, two talented but less than spectacular ball-handlers. Naadir Tharpe could be the first guard off the bench and his improvement this off-season could be crucial in how well the Jayhawks fend off pressure on the perimeter. edited by Amanda gage

baltimore Orioles pitcher earns spot in spring rotation

ASSocIAtED PRESS
NORFOLK, Va. Brian Matusz pitched his way into Baltimores rotation this spring and made his final pitch with a strong outing in an exhibition against the Orioles top farm team in Norfolk on Wednesday afternoon. The 25-year-old lefthander pitched four shutout innings, allowing three hits. He struck out five and walked one in the Orioles 6-4 loss to the Norfolk Tides. After the game, manager Buck Showalter announced that Matusz would start the fourth game of the season for the Orioles, following Jake Arrieta, Jason Hammel and Tommy Hunter. Wei-Yin Chen will be the fifth starter. Hes had a good spring, and hes deserving of the rotation, Showalter said. He had a lot of things going on last year, some of them self-inflicted, but hes had a good offseason and it carried over into a good spring. Now were hoping he can carry that over into the season. In 2010, he won 10 games and was considered one of the top young arms in the organization. But last season he struggled with a strained muscle in his ribcage and went 1-9 with a 10.69 ERA, the highest ERA in major-league history for a pitcher making at least 10 starts. He had some success during a midseason trip to the minors, but got clobbered again when he

baltimore Orioles starting pitcher brian Matusz winds up in the fifth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies in their spring training baseball game at brighthouse Field in Clearwater, Fla., sunday, March 25. returned to Baltimore in midAugust. Last year is over with, and for the past six weeks at spring training Ive been focused on this year, Matusz said. Im just working on getting back on track, refining my mechanics and attacking the strike zone. The rotation appeared to fall into place on Tuesday when the team announced that Japanese left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada would start the season on the disabled list. But Matusz said he had not formally been told on Wednesday what his role would be. I just wanted to go out today and get my work in, Matusz said. Ive tried to work hard and pitch

Duffy leads Royals to 7-6 victory

ASSocIAtED PRESS
LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. Danny Duffy put together an impressive performance Wednesday, even if most of the batters he faced were minor leaguers. Duffy struck out seven in three perfect innings, helping the Kansas City Royals to a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres in the spring finale for each team. The 23-year-old left-hander is one of Kansas Citys top prospects. I dont care who it was against, he looked like the quality pitcher we think he is, manager Ned Yost said. He was phenomenal. He was banging pitches down in the zone, had tremendous stuff. I think youre going to see some brilliance. Hes so much better now than a year ago. Terry Evans and Mario Sisson hit consecutive homers in the sixth inning for the Royals. Fill-in starter Matt Palmer pitched four solid innings for the Padres, yielding two hits and unearned run. Palmer subbed for Tim Stauffer, who has a strained triceps. The right-hander, who has appeared in 60 games in parts of four major league seasons, got up at 4 a.m. for a light to Phoenix. After a long layover, he flew into California and took a cab to Lake Elsinore, the home of one of San Diegos Class-A affiliates. It was a $120 cab ride to the ballpark, and I asked the driver to stop at a sandwich shop. He said he had a great place. Palmer said. It turned out to be a Mexican place. So I got two tacos and we were on our way. Palmer signed with the Padres as a free agent in December and had a decent chance to make the club. But he pulled a hamstring three weeks into camp and was optioned to Triple-A Tucson. He struck out two and walked one against Kansas City. It wasnt an ordeal getting here, but it was a long process, Palmer said. The biggest thing was that I showed the coaches on the major league side what I can do. I showed them I have some intensity, that my arm is strong, and that Im healthy. Im glad they gave me this opportunity, even if it was a long way to go. Minor league catcher Eddy Rodriguez hit a solo homer for the Padres in the seventh. The Royals open the season Friday night at the Los Angeles Angels.

consistently this spring, and thats all I wanted to do today. Wada, who has experienced elbow discomfort, will be eligible to come off the disabled list on April 12. Showalter announced that lefty Zach Phillips would be assigned to Norfolk, trimming the Baltimore roster to 25. Zach has pitched well, Showalter said. Last year we had so many injuries that we were just trying to put a pitching staff together. This year were sending guys to Triple-A who probably pitched well enough to make the team.

radition. Exclusive. Anxiety. Elation. Its tough to find stronger words to describe the Masters Tournament, which begins today at Augusta National in Georgia. But there is one more word that wraps up the tournament and the course into a nice little bow. Immaculate. When you turn on the Masters, I dare you to find anything out of place. The Loblolly pine needles raked nicely into piles around the towering trees, the fairway Bermuda grass and the greens are bent grass run together in beautiful correlation of exquisiteness. Raes Creek races straight through the back nine with blooming azaleas blossoming as the golfers walk toward the club house and the most honored jacket in the sport. Its a golfer paradise. And in last years competition, the golfers fit the course. Tiger Woods, Adam Scott and Jason Day made a late charge. Rory McIlroy collapsed and young Charl Schwartzel,

the South African with a calm demeanor managed to drop four birdies on the final four holes to win by two shots and posted a 66, the lowest round of the day. For me, as a enormous golf fan, it was the most fun I had watching a tournament since Tigers Nike swoosh chip in on the 16th hole of the 2005 tournament. This year on the PGA tour, theres also been a huge amount of drama. All the fan favorites notched victories under their belts: Tiger, Phil Mickelson and Rory. Hunter Mahan posted his second win

of the year last weekend at the Shell Houston Open. Theres been comebacks and big-time drama, but its not the same. Major championships are different. Not only are the golf fanatics focused on the tournament, but everyone that loves sports, especially that Tiger Woods is now a contender after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational two weeks ago, will have their eyes glued to the television on Sunday. For the first time in a long time, Woods looked in total control of all aspects of his game. His off the course issue are well documented, but with his personal life figured out, he finally looks ready to battle Rory McIlroy for golf supremacy. If you dont follow golf, you might be asking, who is Rory McIlroy? The 22-year-old baby faced, curly haired, Northern Ireland native has turned into the definition of a championship golfer. Hes got the swag down. His golf swing is fluid and powerful all at the

same time. He doesnt take practice strokes before making putts. And hes always has the same facial emotions no matter what. Composed and having a good time. Now after three years of waiting, it finally looks like Woods and McIlroy seem on a collision course for Sunday. But like most golf fans know, championship golf is much different than the normal tour. Tensions are higher. The crowds are quieter. And any sports fan will be on the edge of his or her seat watching one of the most difficult mental tests in sports. Because in reality its not Tiger versus Rory or anybody else. Its the golfer versus Augusta National. Edited by Pat Strathman

Reality not quite as crazy

By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com ports are woven deep in the fabric of society because theyre an escape from reality. People who love sports love them because theyre a captivating form of entertainment. We support entertainment that resonates with us whether its watching our hometown team, our schools sports teams, our favorite players and coaches, etc. Sports have a way of getting the best of our emotions, and that was evident in Lexington, Ky., during Final Four weekend when students and fans committed heinous acts such as flipping cars over, burning couches and firing guns. Several people were injured and arrested after Kentuckys wins Saturday and Monday night. One man required amputation after he was shot in the foot Monday night after Kentucky beat Kansas to win the NCAA National Championship. Rioting after a game is an inexcusable act of incivility, but to riot after your favorite team wins a game is inexplicable and, quite frankly, stupid. Even though rioting after a sports game is as nonsensical as streaking, rioting after your team loses makes more sense than rioting after your team wins. Regardless, sports and rioting dont belong together. Kentucky basketball fans, similar to Kansas basketball fans, are enormously supportive. Kansas fans are passionate, but Kentucky fans; theyre obsessed. How the Kansas fans and the Kentucky fans conducted themselves after their wins in the semi-finals reflect on their universities, local communities and athletic programs. For example, in Lawrence, when Kansas fans stormed Massachusetts Street Saturday night, they high-fived police officers and took photographs with them, but in Lexington, fans threw beer bottles at the officers. I had respect for Kentucky basketball fans because they adore their team and will do whatever they can to support it, but I lost it after Final Four weekend because of the violent, despicable and unjustifiable riots. Basketball is not life or death, but Kentucky basketball fans believe otherwise just ask the fan who lost his foot all because of a sports game. My life shouldnt be endangered when watching a ball game. I applaud the majority of Kansas fans who handled the loss Monday night gracefully. Losing in the National Championship game hurts, but Kansas fans took the loss in stride and turned a negative into a positive by showing united school pride. Other aspects of life exist beyond sports. Sports are just games and sheer entertainment. Sports can be a way of life, but not the way of life. Your life, which consists of family, relationships, finances, sustenance and career aspirations, is more important than whether or not your team wins a ball game. The Kentucky basketball players and coaches deserve the NCAA National Championship, but the Kentucky basketball fans dont deserve it, even though its only a pittance of bad apples that ruined a good tree. Their classless acts during Final Four weekend in Lexington, Ky., are an embarrassment to sports and society. Edited by Jeff Karr

the Golden Hurricane to the NCAA Tournament in seven seasons at the helm. Manning would like to see that streak end right away. Its a process, and we understand that, Manning said. But were going to put our best foot forward, build and work every day, like I said. Hopefully when you count them up at the end, we have the right number to be there. Tulsa finished the 2011-12 season with a 17-14 record, and the Golden Hurricane did not make any postseason appearance. Manning is immediately faced with the task of bringing high-level talent to Tulsa. Manning said that he doesnt think name recognition would play any role in immediately attracting recruits, but it might be a way to start conversations. In his time at Kansas, Manning worked almost exclusively as a mentor to the big men, but he said that the Golden Hurricane will look to play an up-tempo, transition style of play. Were going to be respectful young men and humble, but hungry, Manning said Hungry to get better as young men and as individuals on the team committed to one goal, which is going out and representing TU to the highest honor that we can. Mannings departure from the Kansas coaching staff leaves Self with the task of finding a replacement, but the Kansas coach couldnt be happier for his longtime protg. Hell represent the school in a first-class way, Self said. Hell recruit good kids that can play and hell coach their tails off. Hell have Tulsa competing for championships in a very short time. I personally think it will be a great marriage for both parties. Edited by Christine Curtin

The University of Tulsa introduced former Kansas assistant coach Danny Manning as the programs 29th head coach on Wednesday. Manning first served as an assistant coach under Bill Self in 2007, and he will return to the program that Self took to the Elite Eight in 2000. Self s opinion of the Tulsa basketball program was a key factor in Mannings decision to leave Lawrence. The more I spoke with coach Self about the opportunity of coming to TU and being a part of this rich tradition, it became a nobrainer, Manning said. To get a job of this magnitude as my first job is unbelievable. When it came time for Tulsa athletic director Ross Parmley and the search committee to find a replacement for newly hired College of Charleston head coach Doug Wojcik, Mannings resume jumped out immediately. Mannings history and pedigree as a player made him a popular target for coaching jobs around the country, but Tulsa was ultimately the right fit. Since taking over a coaching role in 2007, Manning has coached five NBA forwards at Kansas with Thomas Robinson likely being his sixth. His 15 years in the NBA combined with the last nine years under one of the best coaches in the country have helped mold him into a great teacher and coach of basketball, Parmley said. He most definitely brings the excitement, the style of basketball and character that we were looking for in our head coach. Wojcik left Tulsa as the programs winningest coach with a 140-92 record, but he never took

At his press conference last week, Weis announced the defense listed in the initial depth chart was a 4-3 base defense. He said this does not mean they will always play with four down linemen and three linebackers, but that they will also show some different formations. Most of the time, though, the personnel on the field will translate into the 4-3.

The Jayhawks are still waiting to hear if the NCAA will grant sophomore receiver Justin McCay a waiver that allows him to play immediately. McCay transferred to Kansas from Oklahoma in January. In last weeks press conference, Weis said he was informed that the case would be presented before the caseworker left his office last Thursday. The Jayhawks should have the result soon. If McCays waiver request is granted, he will be allowed to play immediately. If he isnt, he will have to sit out one year before being able to play for the Jayhawks.
