to human health, or listed as hazardous air pollutants under the Clean Air Act. . Under current regulations, the companies are not required to list the chemicals put into the water and sand mix, but are encouraged to do so in Kansas by the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association, which was discussed at the energy conference. Because it is so controversial, the companies are asked to provide more transparency, Greg Loving, KU Energy Club president and conference organizer, said, The hope is that by providing the knowledge, people will be able to make educated decisions about the fracturing process. Minh Le, a senior from Vietnam, attended the conference and said he plans to be a fracking engineer. Because the chemicals used dissolve and break apart the shale to extract the gas, Le said those chemicals could give companies a competitive leg-up. People dont know a lot about the technical side of it, Le said. I think companies should provide more education for people, but they paid a lot of money and did research to come up with the chemicals they use and it doesnt make proprietary sense to give that away.

Notes from No Mans Land to be given to new KU students

ereuter@kansan.com A book will be bringing new students together starting this fall. In an attempt to replicate the sense of an academic community that many liberal arts colleges share, the University is creating a common book program to foster discussion among incoming University students. At orientation, new students will be provided with a free copy of Notes from No Mans Land by Eula Biss. The book was chosen based on several criteria: intellectually stimulating, promotes conversation, available as an ebook and paperback, and lends itself to these events across several disciplines. The number one goal was to pick a book that is going to appeal to a wide variety of people, and that the students are going to read, said Kansas Athletics Learning Services Coordinator Howard Graham, who served on the selection committee. Graham said they also looked for content which you could begin reading at any part of the book. You can start at the end, or the middle, or the beginning. So its very read- several different departments, read through the five books and able, he said.

Hydraulic fracturing a hot topic at conference

raCHel salyer
rsalyer@kansan.com At the Second Annual University of Kansas Energy Conference last Friday, 250 students and professionals weaved in and out of The Oread Hotel, discussing hydraulic fracturing. Coined fracking, hydraulic fracturing is a drilling process in which natural-gas is obtained from shale formations. To obtain the gas, a well is dug thousands of feet into the ground vertically and then turned horizontally. Water, sand and a variation of chemicals are pumped into the ground at a very high pressure, releasing the gas. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 exempted natural gas drilling from the Safe Drinking Water, Clean Water and Clean Air acts. As a result, fracking became more economical, with more companies doing it; this led to more questions about the process of fracking. A lot of the chemicals they use now, they werent allowed to use under the old policy, Shannon OLear, a KU geography professor, said. OLear specializes in environmental policy. The process is regulated on a state-by-state basis with guidance from the Environmental Protection Agency, which is currently testing to see if the process is harmful. According to a 2011 report by the US House of Representatives between 2005 and 2009, at least 29 known carcinogens were being used in the chemical mixture to fracture. The chemicals are regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) for their risks pumped into the well are no longer usable. Its really a water depletion issue, OLear said. If those dangerous chemicals arent leaking into our general supply, there is still an issue because all the water used per frack, many times we cant use that again. In Kansas, the contaminated water is pumped deeper underground than the original well, preventing it from leaking into the main water supply. Loving, KU Energy Club president, sa id he thinks one of the largest causes of public concern is lack of regulation and the number of companies participating. We do have industry leaders like Exxon, and they are cycling the water and chemicals so theyre being reused, Loving said. The biggest problem is the companies that dont have the technology or resources available to dispose of fracking fluid safely.

Kansas current attorney general determined that the Kansas Corporation Commission does not have the authority to regulate fracking. However, a bill in the Kansas Senate would allow the commission to regulate hydraulic fracturing. Loving believes it is the best way for energy and environmental advocates to get along. Some kind of neutral entity would definitely help, Loving said. Energy is always going to be apart of our day-to-day life, and we have to figure out the best way to use it safely, no matter what kind of energy it is. edited by gabrielle schock

53 million raised for obamas campaign

aSSocIateD pReSS
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama raised a combined $53 million for his campaign, the Democratic Party and other campaign funds in March, his campaign said Monday as it prepared to face Mitt Obama Romney and a rejuvenated GOP in the general election. Obama has collected nearly $350 million since the start of the campaign last year, representing a boost in campaign cash compared with recent months. He has raised about $127 million for his campaign, the Democratic National Committee and other campaign funds since the beginning of 2012. Obama has entered a new phase in which he faces a direct challenge from Romney, who has begun raising money jointly with the Republican National Committee to overcome the presidents fundraising edge. The RNC raised $13.7 million in March, its best month of the election cycle and has $32.7 million in cash. Romney had raised about $75 million through the end of February and ended the month with about $7.2 million in the bank. His campaign was expected to announce fundraising totals for March this week. Obamas campaign had $84.7 million in cash-on-hand through the end of February and was expected to detail its cash position in an upcoming report with the Federal Election Commission. Obamas campaign team has tried to generate a sense of urgency, telling donors they need to get involved because of Republicanleaning super PACs aiming to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat the president. Were all going to have to dig even deeper, work even harder, move even faster, said Obama campaign manager Jim Messina in a video released Monday outlining the fundraising totals. Its going to take all of us working together. RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said Obama cannot run on his record and is simply offering shiny objects to distract from his failure to bring hope and change to Americans as he promised. The president has ramped up his fundraising pace in 2012, collecting about $29 million in January and $45 million in February. But Republicans note that Obamas fundraising efforts this year are slightly behind the $136 million his campaign raised during the first three months of 2008 when he didnt have the partys fundraising apparatus at his disposal.

Conflict of interest in Zimmerman case

aSSocIateD pReSS
ORLANDO, Fla. News organizations in Florida, including The Associated Press, challenged on Monday the sealing of records related to the second-degree murder case against George Zimmerman in Trayvon Martins fatal shooting. Meanwhile, Zimmermans attorney wants the current judge to step down because of a potential conflict of interest in the case. The organizations, led by The Miami Herald, filed a motion in Seminole County Circuit Court. Zimmerman attorney Mark OMara asked for the records to be sealed last week, when his client was charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 fatal shooting of Martin, 17. Hearings for both requests have not immediately been scheduled. If a new judge is assigned to the case, Zimmermans bail hearing could be pushed back. Circuit Judge Jessica Recksiedler last week revealed the potential conflict in the case that relates to her husband, who works with Orlando attorney Mark NeJame. NeJame was first approached by Zimmermans family to represent the neighborhood watch volunteer. But the attorney declined and referred them to OMara. What I dont want to happen is to wait a month or two, and then we find out that what we thought is a potential conflict is an actual conflict, OMara told reporters outside the Seminole County Criminal Justice Center. Florida court officials released a statement Monday afternoon confirming that OMaras request had been filed and would be ruled on in the appropriate manner. Regarding the challenge by the media groups, records such as full police reports, autopsy reports and transcripts of witness interviews are normally public under Florida law. The closure order and the manner in which it was entered are contrary to law, the media organizations said in the motion. A spokeswoman for the special prosecutor in the case said her office was reviewing the media motion but had no immediate comment.

ISLAmAbAD A brazen, 18hour attack allegedly carried out by Pakistan-based militants on targets in the Afghan capital, including the U.S. Embassy, could spark fresh tension between Washington and Islamabad just as they seemed to be patching up their vital but troubled relationship. The attack, which ended early Monday, will likely re-ignite anger in Washington over Pakistans unwillingness to crack down on militants using its territory as a base to target neighboring Afghanistan. But the Obama administration must weigh the impact any public criticism of Pakistan may have on the countrys cooperation with it in other areas, including getting supplies to troops in
Afghanistan and negotiating peace with insurgents there. The potential flashpoint comes days after Pakistans parliament finally approved new guidelines for the country in its relationship with the U.S., a decision that Washington hopes will pave the way for the reopening of supply lines to NATO troops in Afghanistan. Pakistan closed its border crossings to NATO supplies in November in retaliation for American airstrikes that accidentally killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. It has taken the government months to navigate the delicate path of resuscitating ties with the U.S., a difficult process in a country where anti-American sentiment is rampant.

PARIS The European Court of Human Rights said Monday it cannot rule on whether or not Russia properly investigated a World War II massacre of thousands of Polish officers because it has not received vital documents from Moscow to properly judge the case. The court also said it considers the massacre in the Katyn forest a war crime, but that it cannot force Russia to further investigate. Poland considers it a war crime, but Moscow has refused to apply the term. The court found Russia in violation of the European Convention for
Human Rights for refusing to share investigation documents, and said that Russias response to most attempts by victims relatives to find out the truth about what happened had amounted to inhuman treatment. Fifteen Poles have complained that Russia failed to hold a proper investigation or to find those responsible for the 1940 killing by the Soviet secret police of some 22,000 Polish officers and intellectuals in the Katyn forest and other places.

In this April 13 photo, farmer Jerry Rogers talks in his alfalfa field in Clint, Texas. An early springtime release of water to farmers on both sides of the river requested by Mexico and opposed by Texans has caused farmers to fear water shortages during the summer.

Texas, Mexico struck with severe droughts

ASSoCIAtED PRESS
McALLEN, Texas Melted snow providing water for irrigation had barely begun burbling down a bone-dry Rio Grande toward a thin 4-mile-wide strip of farmland straddling the U.S.-Mexico border when a war of words erupted. Mexico wanted a traditional early release from reservoirs so spring planting wouldnt be delayed. Texas farmers, fearing a historic drought could tighten its grip again this summer, wanted to delay the release for a couple of months to ensure enough water was left to help crops survive the hottest, driest part of the year. Dividing the Rio Grandes waters is a complicated annual undertaking governed by arcane agreements and imperfect calculations. When theres plenty of water it flows smoothly, but with farmers on both sides of the border confronting severe drought officials expect to have about one-third of the water of a normal year Texas officials quickly lashed out an international commissions decision to release the water, accusing it of putting Mexicos water needs ahead of drought-stricken Texas farmers in the El Paso Valley. Mexico is guaranteed a fraction of the water from Rocky Mountain snows that drain into two New Mexico reservoirs. Once released, the water flows down the Rio Grande toward Texas, where its diverted to Texas and Mexican farmers by dams. Local irrigation districts move the water through canals to farmers fields. With water expected to be scarce this year, two irrigation districts in New Mexico and Texas which receive most of the water decided in February to take their first deliveries in May rather than in March as they typically do. The idea was to delay the irrigation season in an effort to stretch what little water would be available to the end of the growing season. But this posed a problem for Mexican farmers who need water to get their cotton started in late March and April. Mexico asked the International Boundary and Water Commission, a binational body charged with applying the treaties governing the river and boundary, to take its share in March.

Former president denounces coup

bISSAU, Guinea-bissau The second-place finisher in GuineaBissaus presidential election on Monday denounced last weeks military coup, when soldiers attacked his opponents home with grenades and arrested him weeks before the runoff vote. Kumba Yala, a former president who was himself overthrown in a 2003 coup, issued a statement along with four other ex-candidates, saying they all strongly condemn all forms of taking power by force. The announcement came amid speculation about who is supporting the military coup leaders who grabbed power on Thursday not long before voters were due to return to the polls for a second round in the presidential election. Meanwhile, West African regional mediators headed to Guinea-Bissau for talks with the military coup leaders who seized power last week. On
Sunday, they said they were forming a National Transitional Council along with various opposition parties but without the participation of GuineaBissaus ruling party. Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Jr., who was the front-runner in this months presidential runoff vote set for April 29, remains in military custody as does interim President Raimundo Pereira, who took power after Guinea-Bissaus president died in January. A Portuguese government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters, said Portugal has received information that both men were doing well. The prime minister needed insulin and the Portuguese Embassy organized for the Red Cross to get it to him on Saturday, the official said.

Elected president hopes to reconstruct Dili

DILI, East timor Two former guerrilla leaders vied for East Timors presidency Monday, each hoping to help steer the regions newest and poorest nation after U.N. peacekeeping troops begin their planned withdrawal later this year. Taur Matan Ruak appeared headed for an easy victory over Francisco Lu Olo Guterres in the Guterres run-off vote, according to an early quick count. Incumbent Jose Ramos-Horta, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, bowed out last month following a poor showing in the first round.
East Timor, a half island nation of 1.1 million people, voted overwhelmingly in 1999 to end 24 years of brutal Indonesia occupation that had left more than 170,000 dead. When withdrawing soldiers and proxy militias went on a rampage, killing another 1,500 people and destroying much of the infrastructure, the international community jumped in to help, deploying U.N. peacekeepers and pouring in billions of dollars. But the road to democracy has been anything but easy, with gang violence and splits in the army and police turning deadly several times and, six years ago, leading to the collapse of the government.

Police crack massive online drug marketplace

ASSoCIAtED PRESS
LOS ANGELES A sophisticated online drug marketplace that sold everything from marijuana to mescaline to some 3,000 people around the world has been cracked with the arrests of 15 people in several countries, U.S. authorities announced Monday. An indictment unsealed in federal court in Los Angeles claims eight men ran The Farmers Market, which allowed suppliers of drugs including LSD, Ecstasy and ketamine to anonymously sell their wares online. They hooked up with buyers in 34 countries and accepted various forms of payment, including cash, Western Union and PayPal transactions, the indictment claims. From 2007 to 2009 alone, the marketplace processed more than 5,000 orders for drugs valued at more than $1 million, federal officials contended. It began operations as far back as March 2006, authorities said. The market provided a controlled substances storefront, order forms, online forums, customer service, and payment methods for the different sources of supply and charged the suppliers a commission based upon the value of the order, according to a statement from the U.S. attorneys office in Los Angeles. For customers, the operators screened all sources of supply and guaranteed delivery of the illegal drugs, the statement said. The alleged ringleader, Dutch citizen Marc Willems, 42, was arrested Monday at his home in Lelystad in the Netherlands, officials said. Michael Evron, 42, a United States citizen living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was taken into custody on Sunday in Bogota, Colombia, authorities said. The other six men were arrested at their homes. They are identified as Jonathan Colbeck, 51, of Urbana, Iowa; Brian Colbeck, 47, of Coldwater, Mich.; Ryan Rawls, 31, of Alpharetta, Ga.; Jonathan Dugan, 27, of North Babylon, N.Y.; George Matzek, 20, of Secaucus, N.J.; and Charles Bigras, 37, of Melbourne, Fla. It was not immediately clear whether the men had obtained lawyers. The 12-count indictment charges all eight men with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and money laundering conspiracy. Some of the men also are charged with distributing LSD and taking part in a continuing criminal enterprise. All could face a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted of conspiracy. In addition, seven other people were arrested on suspicion of drug crimes Monday in the Netherlands, Georgia, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, and authorities seized hallucinogenic mushrooms, hashish, LSD, marijuana and Ecstasy, the U.S. attorneys office said. The investigation led to those arrests, but authorities still were trying to determine their connections to the online marketplace, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin S. Rosenberg. The two-year investigation, dubbed Operation Adam Bomb, involved law enforcement agents from several U.S. states and several countries, including Colombia, the Netherlands and Scotland, the U.S. attorneys office said. The case was filed in Los Angeles because some of the customers and an undercover agent who bought drugs through the marketplace are from the area, Rosenberg said. Illegal narcotics trafficking now reaches every corner of our world, including our home computers, U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. said in the statement. But the reach of the law is just as long. ... We want to make the Internet a safe and secure marketplace by rooting out and prosecuting those persons who seek to illegally pervert and exploit that market. The marketplace was distributing dangerous and addictive drugs to every corner of the world.

greg lakes one-man show includes audience

entertainment

PHILADELPHIA Have a question youre dying to ask singer-songwriter/ progressive-rock titan Greg Lake? well, heres your chance to do so. Lakes one-man show, Songs of a Lifetime, is a survey of the 64-yearold Englishmans musical output, but the audience plays a large role in the proceedings. The show, he explained, Is an interactive thing, not just about the material I perform. It basically depicts the journey the audience and I have shared over the years. Fans have several opportunities during the evening to converse with Lake, a godfather of prog-rock thanks to his late-1960s work as bassist-vocalist.

The Hunger Games claims No. 1 spot for fourth week

MCClaTChy TriBuNe
LOS ANGELES The Hunger Games claimed the No. 1 spot at the box office for the fourth consecutive weekend, becoming the first film since 2009s Avatar to remain in the top position for that long. The fantasy epic starring Jennifer Lawrence collected an additional $21.5 million this past weekend, according to an estimate from Lionsgate. In the United States and Canada, the movie has raked in $337.1 million; overseas, it has sold $194 million worth of tickets in 60 foreign countries. Heading into the weekend, a new spin on The Three Stooges had the only viable shot at taking down the wildly popular Suzanne Collins adaptation. Although the trio of goofballs may not have been able to pick off Katniss Everdeen, their film did pull in a decent $17.1 million. Meanwhile, the Joss Whedonproduced horror film The Cabin in the Woods started with a soso $14.9 million. The sci-fi action flick Lockout had a far less impressive opening, grossing a weak $6.3 million. Stooges marks the best debut for the brother-directors team of Bobby and Peter Farrelly in more than a decade. After finding major box-office success in the early 1990s with films such as Dumb & Dumber and Theres Something About Mary, the filmmakers have struggled to attract moviegoers to their recent efforts. None of their last four films, including Stuck on You and Hall Pass, opened with over $15 million or ultimately exceeded $45 million. Although Stooges should exceed that sum, its unlikely that the movie will come close to reaching the heights of Mary, which made $176 million by the end of its run in theaters. The Farrellys have been working on Stooges for over a decade, and during that time bigname stars such as Jim Carrey and Sean Penn were at points attached to the movie. Ultimately,

Jennifer Lawrence portrays Katniss Everdeen, left, and Liam Hemsworth portrays Gale Hawthorne in a scene from The Hunger Games. The film has held the number one spot at the box office four four consecutive weekends. the roles of Moe, Larry and Curly went to three lesser-known actors, the most recognizable of whom is Sean Hayes from TVs Will & Grace. Those who saw the film this past weekend didnt love it, assigning it an average grade of B-minus, according to market research firm CinemaScore. Even if word-ofmouth on the movie doesnt end up being fantastic, 20th Century Fox didnt spend much to produce the film: $37 million, after purchasing the rights to the production from MGM, where the picture was previously in development. Not surprisingly, the movie attracted a 58 percent male crowd the gender Fox has been heavily courting for weeks in advertisements on sports networks such as ESPN. Chris Aronson, Foxs executive vice president of distribution, said the studio consciously targeted men because dumb, slapstick humor is maledriven stateside, and weve always known there was a barrier with females. The Cabin in the Woods also appealed mostly to men and played best with an older crowd, 65 percent of whom were older than 25 not the typical audience for a horror film. But those moviegoers didnt care for the film, giving it an average C grade. Many critics were enamored by the horror movie, indicating that the marketing campaign may have led fans to believe the film would be different than the one they got in theaters.

Young viewers prefer The Voice over Idol

MCClaTChy TriBuNe
LOS ANGELES As American Idol winds down its 11th season, its time to ask: Is Foxs smash singing contest losing the kids? For years, Idol was TVs unrivaled ratings champ, and a big part of its success lay in its appeal to young people, who made it their No. 1 TV choice for years. But this year, critics are attacking the show as increasingly stodgy while viewership has plunged more than 30 percent among teens and twentysomethings. And many of those viewers have gone to NBCs The Voice, a hipper and sexier upstart that has much younger judges and often edgier songs. The Voice has pulled even with Idol in ratings among young adults and has a median age of 43, according to Nielsen. Though not exactly brimming with youth, that figure nevertheless beats Idol, which has a median viewer age of 48 14 years higher than it was when the show premiered back in summer 2002. Idol is indeed aging and it will likely never regain the ratings it once boasted, said Jeffrey McCall, a communications professor at DePauw University. The Voice has surprised me with the traction it has generated. It really does come off as younger than Idol.

Summer loving, have yourself a blast

a days entertainment, getting a job is useful in the long run. First of all, youd have a paycheck. Who doesnt like getting paid? What you do with that money is up to you. You could save it, put it toward next semesters tuition, buy a new car or take your significant other out to a movie. Secondly, that job could help you after graduation. Employers will see that you went out of your way to do something with your summer. If your job is in the same field as your major, it could illustrate your passion and dedication to the field. Similarly, becoming a volunteer in your field of choice shows off your dedication. Volunteering offers you a chance to help others within your community and reap the emotional benefits of your labor. If you think you cant find a place to volunteer, think again. Contact local organizations like libraries, daycares, nursing homes, homeless shelters, doctors offices and summer school programs. Somebodys bound to be looking for some help. Although youd work for free, the experience would be valuable in other ways. For example, your employer would see that you took enough pride in your community to give your time serving it. Whether youre going home for the summer or staying in Lawrence, taking an extra class is still a possibility. The University of Kansas, along with many junior colleges, offers online courses over the summer. Take advantage of the shortened semester and catch up or get ahead of your classes. This opportunity could help you graduate earlier, on time or simply lighten your course load for the following semesters. Without the chaos of the fall and spring semesters, you may have more time than you

Lying, cheating, stealing confined to the wealthy? I

n the light of the looming elections, it seems that wealthy politicians, and wealthy individuals for that matter, seem to behave worse than other social classes while still feeling justified for what they do. Do you think this is true? This question has large implications on how we view individuals who are, lets say, bad people. There is significant literature holding that the wealthy are more likely to cheat, lie, steal, and in one study, literally take candy from kids. If you read last weeks article on what makes us cheat on exams, you might remember that cheating, according to Dan Ariely, is often proportional to the potential benefits to the amount you can look yourself in the mirror. In two field-studies by PhD student Paul Piff on the excellent psychology blog The Situationist, upper class drivers were four times as likely to cut in front of other drivers at intersections and three times more likely to disrupt pedestrians as they crossed. In another study, participants were given tasks to complete and were invited to take a piece of candy or two from a candy bowl reserved specifically for children. Those in the upper class status took twice as much as those not. Lastly, participants in another study had to selfreport total scores after rolling

dice five times. The researchers set the game so that it was only possible to reach a score of 12, however, those in the upper class cheated more often by reporting false scores. So why does this happen? Do wealthy people tend to behave poorly because of their values or because of the circumstances that surrounded their acquisition of wealth? In the last study mentioned, the researchers primed the nonhigh income participants about the benefits of being greedy to try and get them to feel and act as if they were wealthy. They found that they responded the same as the high income participants on hypothetical immoral behavior in the workplace. This suggests that the values we personally identify with arent immune to being influenced by the circumstances and environments we behave in. This seems to contrast with the lead investigators opinion that wealth, shapes patterns of ethical behavior, and suggests that the different social values among the haves and the have-nots help drive these tendencies. While it is undeniable that differences in unethical behavior exist in these experimental scenarios, the part that gets played down is

why this happens. Is it, as the researcher puts, because of differing social values? There seems to be a strong positive correlation with obtaining wealth and engaging in certain behavior but is it because they were greedy before they were rich or is being greedy just a side effect of becoming rich? Obviously, Im arguing the latter. Many rich individuals in authoritative positions are constantly being reinforced (rewards to make your future behavior more likely to increase) for their productive behavior through monetary and social consequences and simultaneously not held responsible for immoral or illegal behavior. Additionally, individuals who we might be inclined to say were born greedy often grow up in families where reinforcement was given freely for all forms of behavior (e.g. Charlie Sheen). Like upper class citizens and even criminals, we all function at least in part due to our environments and our histories in those environments. Im by no means condoning immoral behavior of the upper class; however, to change such behavior from either an individual or societal standpoint we need to properly understand it.

ketball game. This year has been especially big for Summitt, as her We back Pat campaign has drawn national attention because of her diagnosis with early-onset dementia of the Alzheimers type. The game of womens basketball wouldnt be where its at today without Pat Summitt, and that says a lot about who she is, Dooley said. Summitt had a reduced role this year, including not meeting with the media regularly and sitting on the bench during much of the games. But the Volunteers came within one game of reaching another Final Four before running into the buzzsaw of the Baylor Lady Bears in the Elite Eight. Summitt has relied on three former head coaches and associated head coach Holly Warlick, who played for Summitt from 19761980 and has been an assistant since 1985, for help with coaching in her condition. Like we said from the beginning, these are uncharted waters, DeMoss said. Weve kind of learned as weve gone, but I think what superseded this situation is the love and respect that we have for Pat. That supersedes everything. Summitt is a devoted and thoughtful person, but that is sometimes lost in the mix of her gruesome practices and harsh halftime speeches. Still, Summitt takes the time to help anyone who wants to learn about the game. Pat is a very grounded person, DeMoss said. Always has been. She comes from humble beginnings. Her family is very important to her, and that never changes, that never waivers. After moving up the womens basketball assistant coaching ranks, Henrickson got her first shot as head coach in 1997 at Virginia Tech. Under her guidance, the Hokies reached at least twenty victories each season while also making five NCAA tournament appearances. But when Henrickson had a chance to grab somebody from the Summitt coaching tree, she didnt pass up the opportunity. Fresh off of her stellar career that included two national titles with the Lady Vols, Kyra Elzy spent one year in 2002 as an administrative assistant under Henrickson at Virginia Tech. Playing for coach Summitt might be one of the most demanding positions in college basketball, and Elzy felt the brunt of it, being a leader on the court by playing 126 games in four years. She also excelled in the classroom and became the first Tennessee player to earn a masters degree while still playing. Shes very intense, Elzy said. Shes a winner. She demands excellence. She extremely demanding, but theres a method to her madness and it obviously pays off. Although Elzy had personal success, Henrickson can only remember her talking about her teammates and her coaches. Kyra doesnt talk about how many games they won, Henrickson said. She talks about how good they were to her. Henrickson picked Elzy again to become a full-time assistant for the Jayhawks when she took the head coaching position in Lawrence. Among many talents, recruiting is one of Elzys specialties. Elzy helped the Jayhawks land its first top 20 signing class in 2007. I think you just have to be true to who you are and really be able to be and honest in what theyre going to get from the university, Elzy said. Make sure you sell your head coach, but more importantly you need to be persistent and just sell a family atmosphere. Elzy has a special connection with Summitt dating back to her playing days. Summitt is someone that pushed Elzy, but always had a loving touch at the end of the day. I think what people dont get to see is the loving and the caring person that she is off the court, Elzy said. She really wanted to make sure that we became women ready for the world and also stay humble enough to give back to other people. Elzy also feels a great connection to Henrickson, someone who gave her the opportunities to move forward in her career, as well. Elzy was the associate head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats team that made the Elite Eight this

Green replaces franklin as assistant coach

Mahogany Green, formerly of Central Michigan, joined the Kansas womens basketball staff as an assistant coach on Monday. She replaces Aqua Franklin who departed for an assistant coaching position at Mississippi State. Green served a number of positions at CMU, including recruiting coordinator, academic liaison, scout and helped to develop the guards. Kansas is a great opportunity for me, Green said in a press release. The athletic history there really drew me to the job and obviously the success they have experienced this past season and the last couple of years. Green was a four-year letterwinner at Cleveland State. She led the Vikings in scoring, rebounding and assists. She was also named to the All-Midwestern Collegiate Conference All-Tournament Team in 2000 and 2001. She played one year of professional basketball in Ankara, Turkey, before returning to her alma mater.

Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt discussed the final play during the last timeout of the NCAA Womens Regional Semifinals at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa on Saturday. Kansas lost to Tennessee 84-73.

tARA bRYANt/KANSAN

We are very excited to welcome Mahogany to Kansas, coach Bonnie Henrickson said in a press release. Her energy and enthusiasm have made her instrumental in recruiting high-caliber student athletes to Central Michigan. She also has a great deal of success in developing quality point guards, a position which she played during a decorated career at Cleveland State. Green coached in short stints at eastern Kentucky, IPFW and eastern Michigan before a four-year run at CMU. Bonnie has done a great job at KU and has had success everywhere she has gone, Green said in a press release. I want to continue to progress as a coach and Bonnie is a great person to learn from. The Jayhawks started individual work outs last week and are coming off a Sweet 16 appearance for the first time since 1999.

I will always be grateful and forever indebted to Bonnie, Elzy said. She gave me my first chance in the business straight out of college. I had the opportunity to study under and I think Im a better coach today because of it. Being a womens college basketball coach is a demanding job. During the season, a head coach might notch a dozen hours of sleep in between watching film, while the athletes grasp a few hours for homework and freedom away from basketball. Henrickson is one of these coaches, but something she picked up from Summitt long ago was to take the time to write letters. Throughout her career, Summitt has hand written a note back to every piece of fan mail shes received until this year. In fact, Henrickson would occasionally write Summitt a note and every time, she would get a handwritten note back. The personal touch of a handwritten letter is special in an evergrowing technological environment. Thats why Henrickson has her own set of stationary to do the same thing with many of players and coaches that she writes to throughout the year. Henrickson wants to show people that coaching is more than about being a great basketball player; its about building a family around your team. If Pat Summitt has the time to do it, Henrickson said. Then I have time to do it. Edited by Christine Curtin

White signs letter of intent with Jayhawks

Andrew White from Chester, Va., signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at Kansas, coach Bill Self said Monday. Im glad we can finally talk about Andrew, Self said. Hes been committed for a long time and we are so excited to have him. Hes a tall guard. He can shoot it. Hes a good athlete. Hes tough, loves to play and certainly will be a great representative of our university. White, a 6-foot-6, 210-pound forward, signed the letter in a ceremony at Miller School in Charlottesville, Va. Ranked No. 48 by eSPNU100 and No. 56 by Rivals.com, White averaged 22.9 points and 10 rebounds per game for Miller School this past season. He chose Kansas over North Carolina State, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Richmond, Texas and Georgetown among others.

He has been very well drilled and well coached at Miller under Scott Willard, Self said. The transition to the collegiate level should be very smooth for him. We see him being an impact player for us beginning from day one upon his arrival on campus. White, who will play in the Capital Classic All-Star game on Saturday in Alexandria, Va., joins Perry ellis of Wichita, landen lucas of Portland, Ore., and Zach Peters of Plano, Texas, in the upcoming seasons freshman class. Andrews entire family has been great and so supportive to us throughout this process and what a great job Joe Dooley did in recruiting him, Self said. One of the reasons we like him so much is the quality of person that he is. I believe having the Whites as part of our KU family will do nothing but enhance our program.

Stanfield mentioned in prestigious award list

Senior catcher James Stanfield was added to the Johnny Bench Award Watch list on Monday by The Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission. He joins a list of 50 other catchers from colleges across the country. The Johnny Bench Award honors colleges top catcher every year. Stanfield has contributed solid

numbers at the plate all season. He leads the Jayhawks with a .304 batting average. He is also batting .306 in Big 12 play. In 21 starts at catcher, Stanfield has hit three doubles and driven in nine runs. Stanfields best attributes as a catcher come on defense. Originally recruited by Kansas as a middle infielder, he possesses a strong arm from behind the plate. This season, he has thrown out 13-of-33 would-be base stealers, good for 39.4

percent. He ranks second in the Big 12 at throwing out potential base stealers this season. He only trails Texas A&Ms Troy Stein by 0.6 percent. The list will be narrowed to three finalists on June 4. After that, Division 1 college coaches will vote to determine the winner, which will be announced on June 28.

f you said these two hollow terms to a sports fan, then they would imaginatively fly over the country in glee with their arms spread out like The Dude soaring above Los Angeles in cult-classic comedy film The Big Lebowski: Overtime and game seven. In 2011, one out of the NBAs 15 playoffs series matchups were determined in seven games. Out of last years 80 playoff games played, six of them went into overtime. MLB fared much better than the NBA in playoff competitiveness last year. Four out of the seven playoff series matchups three of them were in the Division Series, which implements a best-of-five playoff series format were resolved in the final possible game.

Hockey playoffs bring parity to light

goals are at a premium. Its not to say that basketball points and baseball runs arent worth much, but scoring in both sports comes more frequently than in hockey. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are more unpredictable than the NBA Playoffs because of the parity. Since 1994, when the NHL changed the format of the playoffs, nine eight-seeded teams ousted the one-seed in the first round. The NBA has only had an eight-seed eliminate a oneseed in the first round four times since 1984 when the league changed its playoff format. Its more common for underdogs to advance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs than the NBA Playoffs. I cant say the Stanley Cup Playoffs are more predictable than the MLB Playoffs because wild card teams have eliminated one-seeded teams in the Division Series 19 times. However, only four teams qualify for the MLB playoffs from each league opposed to eight from each in the conference for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, so the discrepancy between the highest and lowest seeds in the MLB Playoffs is lower than in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. On top of all that, hockey players fight to earn the right to raise Lord Stanleys Cup above their shoulders. No trophy in sports has as much mystique and prestige as the Stanley Cup.

COMMENTARY

turning Point

By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com ith 12 conference games left in the season, the Kansas baseball team sits at the exact spot they were expected to be in the standings: last place. Now, a 13-23 overall record and 3-9 mark in the Big 12 is not impressive to say the least, but if there is any hope of the Jayhawks turning around their season, it all starts with this week. Kansas is coming off a 5-3 victory over second-ranked Texas A&M. This was a win that ended an embarrassing eight-game losing streak, which had the team playing tight with every pitch. The Jayhawks finally put together the performance that coach Ritch Price had been waiting for. Junior pitcher Thomas Taylor shut down the conferences secondbest offense for seven innings. Kansas last-place offense finally woke up, frustrating Texas A&M with their clutch hitting and patience at the plate. Baseball is a sport where, on any given day, any team can win. And the Jayhawks have learned just how difficult it is to win in the Big 12. Although a single ballgame doesnt hold the significance of a conference win in football or basketball, a win like this can do wonders for a young team. Senior catcher James Stanfield described the final moments of Kansas victory over Texas A&M as a weight vest dropping to the ground. The mere pressure of ending a losing streak is lifted from this team, and now that the Jayhawks have beaten a nationally elite team, there should be a very confident ballclub heading into this week. The opportunity to turn the season around is there, but the Jayhawks have to perform like they did Sunday against the Aggies. Kansas will head into the weekend on its first three-game winning streak since the opening week of the season, but they will be in for a challenge in Austin, Texas. Kansas dismal play on the road has been a recurring theme this season. The Jayhawks are 3-12 on the road and havent won an away game since March 10. As bad as Kansas plays away from home, 23rd-ranked Texas is that great at home. Through 15 home games, the Longhorns have an ERA of 1.46 and are 11-4 at home overall. We often hear about the importance of riding momentum from a win, but it really doesnt get bigger than this weekend for Kansas. If the Jayhawks can sweep the Longhorns in Texas, Prices young team will find themselves, amazingly, back in Big 12 Tournament contention. I know that the team thinks Sundays win over Texas A&M was no fluke, and Austin will be the place to prove it. Edited by Bre Roach

ajoseph@kansan.com Now that the losing streak has ended, the Kansas baseball team (13-23, 3-9 Big 12) will look to stay in the win column against a pair of NAIA schools from Kansas. The Jayhawks host Baker University 6 p.m. Tuesday at Hoglund Ballpark followed by the University of St. Mary on Wednesday night. Kansas defeated No. 2 Texas A&M 5-3 on Sunday, a statement victory that ended an eight-game skid for Kansas.

The Jayhawks more experienced players stood out in the weekends series with the Aggies, but coach Ritch Price thinks the early week games are important opportunities for the younger players. We use these as developmental games, Price said. Ill get to play some of my younger guys that I quite frankly havent gotten a chance to play as much as I would have liked. Freshman pitcher Robert Kahana is scheduled to start on Tuesday against Baker. In his first season with Kansas, Kahana is already one of the Jayhawks most versatile pitchers,

appearing in 46.1 innings from the bullpen and as a starter - with a 2-1 record and 3.30 ERA. Price also plans to give freshman catcher Nate Arnold more playing time this week. Perfect Game USA named Arnold as the No. 4 high school prospect out of Kansas, but it has been difficult for him to get on the field, playing behind senior James Stanfield and junior Alex DeLeon. Arnold singled in one of his two plate appearances, and Stanfield thinks that young players can carry this momentum into the weekend. We have so much momentum

in our dugout right now, and then going into two midweek games. We have to keep it going, Stanfield said. Baker competes in the Heart of America Athletic Conference, and the Wildcats have lost four of their last six ballgames. Baker enters Tuesdays game with a 23-20 overall record and 11-7 mark in HAAC competition. St. Mary is coming off a doubleheader sweep of Friends University, but the Spires have struggled for much of the season. St. Mary competes in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference and holds a

14-24 mark on the season. The Jayhawks are the only Division I school the Spires are scheduled to play all season. Despite the difference in level of talent, the Jayhawks cannot afford a letdown heading into the weekends series against No. 23 Texas. This is a crucial point in our season, junior infielder Jordan Dreiling said. This could be the time when everything turns around from here on out, so were looking to head into those two games and leave with two wins. Edited by Jeff Karr

With nothing more than a determination to work, Henrickson took advantage of WIU head coach Kelly Hills connection to Tennessee assistant Holly Warlick from their time together at Nebraska. Hill put in a call to the Lady Vols to see if Henrickson could help out with the annual Pat Summitt Basketball Camp. Knowing no one, Henrickson picked up her things from Macomb, Ill., and drove to Knoxville to work as a camp counselor.

Freshman guard says he will transfer from Kansas

Freshman Merv lindsay will transfer from kansas, kU Athletics confirmed Monday afternoon. lindsay, a 6-foot-7 guard from Moreno valley, Calif., averaged 15 points and 10.2 rebounds per game as a senior at Canyon springs High school two seasons ago. Merv and I met last week about his situation and the opportunities he has here, coach bill self said. He has decided it is in his best interest to look elsewhere to have an opportunity for more playing time. with the support of coach self, me and my family have decided to transfer at the end of the semester to seek more playing time. now I plan to sit down and look at options. He was known in high school for his length and three-point shooting prowess and was a three-time All-league selection, but was not ranked by rivals.com. He committed to kansas last June, also holding a scholarship offer from Marquette. He recorded season-highs with nine points and eight minutes in the Dec. 29 victory over Howard in Allen Fieldhouse. It is not yet known where lindsay will transfer. Merv is not a good young man, he is a terrific young man, self said. He has done well in school and he has impacted our program on the practice court and in the locker room in a very positive way. were going to do everything we can to support and assist him. Hes leaving here with a great taste in his mouth as we are with him. At this time he is at square one and were just looking into it, but he has been granted his release. I will never forget my freshman year at kansas, going to the Final Four and winning a conference championship, lindsay said. I was fortunate to learn under a great coach in coach self and his staff. being a part of such a great tradition and contributing to that tradition will always mean a lot to me. I love all my teammates, coaches and all the kansas fans for their support this past year.
