With one minute to play in his
fnal game at Allen Fieldhouse, se-
nior forward Christian Moody found
himself in a place he had spent much
of his playing career: on the foor
battling for a loose ball with Colo-
rado players.
Moody, along with fellow seniors
Jeff Hawkins and Stephen Vinson,
played his last game at Allen Field-
house and contributed to Kansas
75-54 victory against Colorado.
All three players started the game
and helped the team jump out to a
10-2 lead in the frst fve minutes.
Vinson guarded Colorados top scor-
er, Richard Roby, and didnt allow
Roby to get a shot off over him in the
frst fve minutes.
Hawkins contributed when he
hit a three-point shot for the second
basket of the game, and Moody con-
tributed a rebound, a steal and an as-
sist in his frst fve minutes.
Kansas coach Bill Self said after
the game that there was no plan as to
how long he would play the seniors
in the frst half; instead, the plan was
to win the game.
I thought Stephen did great, Self
said. Roby never got any rhythm.
That was due in large part to Ste-
phen. I told all the seniors after the
game, you will remember this night
because you impacted this game as
much as anybody on our team.
After the game, all three players,
along with fellow senior Moulaye
Niang, spoke to the crowd in the tra-
ditional senior night speeches.
Niang was the frst to speak, and
thanked former coach Roy Williams
for giving him an initial shot at play-
ing basketball at Kansas. Niang also
thanked Self for keeping him around
this year and still allowing him to be
a part of the team.
Niangs playing career at Kansas
was cut short because of nagging back
injuries. That did not stop Niang from
being named Second Team Academic
All-Big 12 this season.
Vinson was the next to speak af-
ter Niang. He started by telling the
crowd that Self invoked a time limit
on speeches this year.
Coach told us to keep it to fve
minutes, Vinson said during his
speech. Thats usually what I am on
the court for, so I would get uncom-
fortable if I was on here for more.
Vinson also thanked Self for keep-
ing him on the team after Williams left
for North Carolina. He said he was
unsure of his future at Kansas after
the coaching change, but Self never
thought about getting rid of him.
Hawkins was next, and started
by apologizing to the crowd for the
mistakes he had made during his fve
years at Kansas. He apologized to
the fans, his family and the coaches
for disappointing them.
He also spoke about his relation-
ship with Self. Hawkins said the two
of them had ups and downs along
with left and rights and had been
through it all. He thanked him for all
of his support.
Moody was the fnal senior to
speak. He was also the frst player
to shed any tears. He became emo-
tional when talking about Self and
told a similar story to Vinsons about
not being sure about his future when
Self took over.
Many of Moodys family members
and friends, along with Vinsons
family and friends, donned red shirts
with Moody and Vinsons name on
the front with the phrase walk on
on the back.

At the start of last weeks
Student Senate Finance meet-
ing, committee members were
warned that if all the legisla-
tion of the night passed, only
12 percent of this years bud-
get would be left.
That night the committee
failed two bills of the semester,
its frst failures, leaving it in a
more comfortable position for
its remaining two cycles be-
fore the start of elections.
At Wednesday nights full
Senate meeting, members
passed four new bills leaving
$32,285, or about 26.95 per-
cent, remaining of the unallo-
cated budget the Senate had
at the beginning of the 2005-
2006 school year. The money
in that account used to fund
different programs for stu-
dent organizations through-
out campus.
Richard Zayas, Smith-
ville, Mo., junior and Stu-
dent Senate treasurer, said
the warning may have scared
the committee members a
little, but the most impor-
tant thing was to not to run
out of money before every
group has had a chance to
ask for some.
We want to spend all our
money, he said. We just
want to make sure we spend it
on the right things.
Both Andrew Payne, Gar-
den City junior and fnance
committee chairman, and Za-
yas said they didnt expect any
group that asked for money
this late in the year to have
any trouble getting it as long
as they met all the guidelines
for funding.
We kind of take into ac-
count that a lot of groups dont
have big events till spring,
Zayas said. Thats why we
dont spend all our money frst
semester.

It may have taken a rare two times to get the bill
out of committee, but an attempt to repeal instate
tuition for undocumented residents is now on its
way to the House Floor.
By a 12-to-8 margin, the House Federal and
State Affairs Committee passed the repeal bill after
rejecting it two weeks ago. The re-vote was granted
by committee chairman John Edmonds (R-Great
Bend) after he was asked to consider the re-vote by
House Speaker Doug Mays (R-Topeka).
I was surprised, but not much, committee
chairman Edmonds said about the outcome of
the vote. Edmonds said there were a couple of
members absent from the meeting who had vot-
ed against the repeal earlier. Ray Cox (R-Bonner
Springs) was absent after notifying the committee
earlier that he would miss the meeting. Broderick
Henderson (D-Kansas City) also missed the meet-
ing, though no explanation of his absence was
available.
Debate on the bill could begin as early as this
Friday, yet that hinges upon its introduction to the
House.
Discussion for and against the repeal lasted
roughly 40 minutes in the Old Supreme Court
Room in the Capitol before a vote on the measure
was fnally called. The discussion became emo-
tional at times.

Budget reserve is running low,

The NCAA released its Academic Progress Rate
for all division one schools Wednesday, and The
University of Kansas is one of eight schools ap-
pealing the results.
Three KU sports - baseball, football and
womens basketball - did not meet the academic
progress minimum requirement. Womens bas-
ketball will not be punished, because there were
not enough players to gauge academic prog-
ress.
The NCAA gave guidelines for winning an ap-
peal, and Paul Buskirk, associate athletics direc-
tor, said he thought the University would win.
We have a tremendous case, he said.
If Kansas does not win, football and baseball
will lose one scholarship for next season.
Kansas is not alone in baseball and football ac-
ademic and eligibility woes. Football and baseball
were problems nationally in regards to meeting
the APR, Myles Brand, NCAA president said.
Brand said 40 percent of baseball, basketball
and football teams are at risk for losing scholar-
ships in the coming years. Brand also said a total
of 99 teams were in violation of the APR mini-
mum, 90 of which are mens sports.
Currently, the APR minimum standard is a
score of 925. This roughly equals a 60 percent
graduation rate.

Local businesses know all too
well the slew of orders that bom-
bard restaurants after the 2 a.m.
mark, and the wide variety of loca-
tions delivery drivers are expected
to hunt through to reach the door-
step at the end of the maze no mat-
ter what time of day.
While Lawrence gas stations are
charging no less than $2.10 per gal-
lon of gas, business managers say a
small fee to get food from point A
to point B is the most economical
way to keep delivering.
The store doesnt get any of it,
Jeff Morris, Pizza Shuttle general
manager, said of his restaurants
delivery charge policy. The money
goes right to the driver. People have
been real fne about it.
The money Morris refers to is
the quarter-per-delivery charge that
Pizza Shuttle tacks on the end of
each delivery order. Morris pre-
ferred the term fuel surcharge to
delivery charge.
Pizza Shuttle, which relies on
delivery orders for approximately
70 percent of its revenue, is similar
to other delivery businesses in that
it relies on its employees vehicles
to transport the pizza from house
to house. Drivers are reimbursed
for the normal wear and tear on
their cars.
Lindy Robinson, assistant dean
of design and hospitality at John-
son County Community College,
said that whether businesses charge
an actual fee to deliver, depends on
how the corporate structure is set
up within their budget.
She also said that it made sense
that if restaurant employees used
their own cars, businesses wouldnt
charge to deliver. Thats mainly be-
cause tips and minimum wage are
make up for the loss in gas money.
Pita Pit owner Paul Peach
said, Eventually we hope to
have our own cars. Even though
I think a dollar delivery charge
is pretty reasonable. Well pretty
much go anywhere.
No matter the size of the order,
Peach said the $1 surcharge is what
Pita Pit charges customers regard-
less of the amount of food.
The Pita Pits delivery area stays
between 23rd Street to Iowa Street
and 6th Street to Connecticut
Street, but Peach said that his driv-
ers delivered anywhere when the
rush was at a minimum. In fact,
Peach said only about 30 percent of
the restaurants business were from
delivery orders. Most of those or-
ders were from students. The other
orders are from customers such as
the hospital and the Outhouse.
Now were starting to get the
small businesses, too, Peach said.
Those are the businesses that will
keep us alive when all the students
are gone in the summer.
But for now, school is in full
swing. Peach said the majority of
his deliveries went towards stu-
dents living on Iowa or Kentucky
streets and greek housing.
Not every business, however,
requires customers to fork over
the money for gas. Pepperjax Grill,
947 New Hampshire St., boasts its
free delivery service all over its win-
dows and cars.
We wanted to hit a little bigger
audience and get more on cam-
pus, Pepperjax General Manager
Jeremy Trehe said. We dont raise
prices or anything if thats what you
mean. Its really more of an adver-
tising thing than anything.
Robinson disagrees.
Somehow they have to charge
expenses or they wouldnt be in
business, Robinson said. Its free
because I dont know what Im
paying.
Trehe said the company bought
its own delivery cars to be able to
drive the heavily decorated Pep-
perjax-mobiles as a sort of traveling
billboard. The free delivery was a
perk for customers, especially since
free delivery was a rare amenity in
Lawrence.
Thats one of the reasons we
decided to go with free delivery, be-
cause so few businesses in town do
it, Trehe said.

Brand said by the 2008-09 sea-
son, teams below the APR mini-
mum could be banned from post-
season play.
Brand said the message to insti-
tutions was clear.
Recruit student-athletes who
are capable of doing college level
work, Brand said.
Buskirk said the process of mak-
ing sure all athletes meet academic
requirements was challenging, but
worthwhile.
Its been a burden and a god-
send, he said. The silver lining
has been that this process has been
the single most powerful tool to
bring academic awareness to the
athletics world.

Bill
continued from page 1a
Rep. Tom Burroughs (D-Kansas
City), ranking minority member
of the committee said he was ap-
palled and embarrassed by the
repeal attempt and added that it
was immoral and racist, slightly
raising his voice throughout his
explanation as he looked on
sternly at other members of the
committee.
Rep. Lance Kinzer (R-
Olathe), argued that while he
respected the different sides of
the issue, he asked about the
other undocumented residents
who couldnt afford the instate
tuition rate.
Should we allow those who
cant attend at the in-state rate
to attend school free of charge?
he asked the committee.
Kinzer also said that it was
unfair for international students
with student visas or an Ameri-
can native who lives on the
east side of State Line Road
and resides in Jackson County,
Mo., to have to pay the higher,
nonresident tuition rate.
Rep. Becky Hutchins (R-
Holton), who proposed the bill,
would not say one way or the
other if she was satisfed with
the bill passing out of commit-
tee, but that she was now look-
ing forward to the discussion of
it on the House Floor.
Hutchins thinks the incoming
freshman representatives will
have a big impact on whether
or not the bill will pass out of
the House. According to Cindy
Roupe, director of public servic-
es at the State Library, there are
36 members in the House now
who did not vote against the
instate tuition bill in 2004. Fur-
thermore, that particular mea-
sure passed by an 81 to 43 mar-
gin out of the House in 2004.
Melinda Lewis, director of
policy advocacy and research at
El Centro in Kansas City, Kan.,
said she was not at all surprised
by the result of the result and
said this bill was going to the
House Floor not as a result of
political principles, but rather
political process.
As to the chances of the bill
making it out of the House,
Lewis said it depended on
how many people would toe
the Speakers line along the
way.
Burroughs said he was very
disappointed by the bill making
it out of committee and expect-
ed a mean-spirited and heated
discussion on the House Floor.
Burroughs also said that if
introducing the repeal bill was
the right thing to do, it should
be done on Friday, which is co-
incidently Hispanic Day on the
Hill.

Budget
continued from page 1a
Riley Dutton, Pittsburg sopho-
more and member of the fnance
committee, said the reason more
of the budget had been spent this
year compared to this time last
year was because the major bills
the committee expect to see every
year came through earlier. He said
it was good to see the budget being
used up because that meant more
groups were getting funding, and
Senate was doing a better job get-
ting the word out.
Payne said he thought the com-
mittee could have done a better job
at the beginning of the year giving
out money, but overall it was in a
decent position so that there would
be no major problems at the end of
the year.
I think well be fne if we are a
little cautious on giving out exor-
bitant amounts of money, Payne
said.
Zayas said he felt good about
where the budget stood at this
point as well. He said this year the
committee had more new groups
come to it asking for money, which
put more of a strain on the budget.

This undated photo provided by the Honda Motor Co., shows the 2006 Honda Civic sedan. For the frst time in nine
years, all of the top picks in Consumer Reports annual vehicle guide are made by Japanese automakers. The Civic is

Asian cars score highest
The AssociATed Press
DETROIT For the frst
time, all the top picks in Con-
sumer Reports annual vehicle
guide are made by Japanese au-
tomakers.
The Honda Civic is the maga-
zines top small sedan, while the
Toyota Highlander Hybrid is the
top mid-sized sport utility vehi-
cle, according to results released
Wednesday. Vehicles from Nis-
san Motor Co. and Subaru, a di-
vision of Fuji Heavy Industries
Ltd., round out the top picks in
10 categories.
Asian brands also fared best
in the magazines survey of ve-
hicle reliability. Toyota Motor
Corp.s Lexus brand was frst,
while Honda was second and
the Toyota brand was third. Ford
Motor Co.s Mercury brand was
the only domestic nameplate to
crack the top ten.
Consumer Reports rankings
are important to automakers,
even though companies cant
use the ratings in their advertis-
ing. Consumer Reports spokes-
woman Lauren Hackett said the
April auto issue is consistently
the magazines most popular,
selling more than 300,000 cop-
ies at newsstands. Thats twice
as many copies as its second-
most popular issue, the Novem-
ber electronics issue.
Consumer Reports began its
top picks list in 1997. It is based
on road and track tests, evalu-
ations of comfort, convenience
and fuel economy, crash protec-
tion ratings from the govern-
ment and insurance industry
and readers reliability rankings.
The magazine said it recently
tested more than 200 vehicles to
come up with its top picks.
Honda Motor Co. had the
most winners, snagging top picks
in fve of the ten categories. Be-
sides the redesigned Civic, the
Honda Accord was the top fam-
ily sedan between $20,000 and
$30,000 and the Acura TL was
the top upscale sedan between
$30,000 and $40,000.
The Honda Odyssey was the
top minivan and the Honda
Ridgeline, which is Hondas frst
entry in the pickup market, was
the top pickup.
Toyota and Subaru each had
two winners, including the
Subaru Forester for small SUV
and the Toyota Prius for green
car.
Nissan had one, the M35 lux-
ury sedan, which the magazine
called an excellent balance of
performance, comfort and han-
dling.
Reliability rankings are based
on a survey of Consumer Re-
ports subscribers who are asked
if they have had serious prob-
lems with their vehicles in the
past 12 months.

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio
AK Steel Holding Corp. re-
lying on hardball tactics used
in other labor standoffs op-
erated its Middletown Works
plant Wednesday with salaried
and replacement workers after
locking out nearly 2,700 union
employees.
Both sides said they want
to negotiate a new deal to
replace the one that expired
at midnight Tuesday, but the
company said the union must
accept that the independent
steel maker needs to cut labor
costs to survive in the increas-
ingly global industry. Union
members, picketing outside
plant gates, said theyd already
made sacrifices, and that the
company had been antagonis-
tic by bringing in replacement
workers.
We are operating in a man-
ner that we unfortunately must
do, under the circumstances,
AK Steel spokesman Alan Mc-
Coy said.
He wouldnt comment on the
replacement workers. He said
the plant had a stockpile of steel
to meet customer demands for
an unspecifed time.
This is not chest-thumping.
This is not done to intimidate,
McCoy said. It is about serving
our customers.
The union, whose members
had recently voted overwhelm-
ingly to authorize a strike, said
it had offered to keep working
under the old contract.
The unions president esti-
mated the company had hun-
dreds of replacement workers
from various sources, but didnt
know details. Brian Daley, pres-
ident of the Armco Employees
Independent Federation, said in
an interview that union mem-
bers were frustrated and skepti-
cal about how
well the plant
could operate
with the new
workers.
Its a major
concern for us
because we care a lot about this
mill, he said.
Union workers helped the
plant set records for productiv-
ity and quality, and take pride in
the plants operations and its im-
portance to this southwest Ohio
city of some 50,000 people, he
said.
The company said its last of-
fer would give raises to most
workers, freeze the existing pen-
sion plan, force workers to pick
up a greater share of health care
costs and streamline job clas-
sifcations so that workers can
handle more duties. AK Steel
also wants to reduce the work
force and says the unions last
proposal would have increased
AK Steels employment costs by
$150 million over the length of
the three-year, two-month pro-
posal.
The company said some 80
percent of the union members
made between $55,000 and
$100,000 in 2005, money that
union workers say they earned
by working weekends, holidays
and double shifts in addition to
their regular hours.
I dont feel particularly over-
paid, added Bob Hauser, a 29-
year employee.
He said most workers under-
stand the competitive situation,
worsened by some companies
that went into bankruptcy and
shed labor obligations. Its
rough. They are sweeping
changes. Its a lot to ask at one
shot.
While unions have the right
to strike, companies for de-
cades could use replacement
workers, said Josh Schwarz, a
Miami University management
professor.
Major league baseball and the
National Football League have
used replacement players, for
example.

Hi, this is Mr. Mystery

Date, calling back my Sudo-
ku playing, Greys Anatomy
fanatic, wondering what
youre doing now that the
winter Olympics are over.
And p.s., how exactly are
we going to go about meet-
ing each other?

I hurt myself today, to

see if I still feel. I focus on
the pain, the only thing
thats real.

I have the strength of a

bear that has the strength
of two bears! Oh man, its
like a koala bear crapped a
rainbow in my brain.

Debbie, what you need is

some food. OK? You need
to eat.

Eat some more pills,

pillhead.

Sometimes I sit on my
hand until it goes numb,
and then masturbate. I call
it The Stranger. Do you
ever do that, Lil Jon?

My friend ordered a
pizza from Gumbys and
when he went to pick it
up, he couldnt figure out
why they didnt have his
order. The manager called
every location in the city,
and then he finally real-
ized that he was at Jimmy
Johns.

Screw the Facebook. It is

not for high schoolers. Its
just for college kids.

So Ive been looking for

a velour sweat suit and I
havent been able to nd
one. Today, I saw Julian
Wright wearing one. WTF?

Thanks to the US Armed

Forces and the Bush
administration, there are
millions of Iraqis that
get to pursue free lives
free of tyranny and free
of a dictator, and yet all
people like Justin La Mort
do is complain about the
administration. Good job,
guys. Just because youre
liberal, doesnt mean you
cant give our president,
whos doing a good thing,
some credit.

Denver girls really arent

that funny.

The question is no longer

What are you thinking? It

ing at all?

A bill currently in committee
in the Kansas Legislature offers
discounted tuition to out-of-
state residents who agree to
stay in Kansas for ve years.
The hope of Rep. Tim Ow-
ens (R-Overland Park), who
proposed the bill, is that it will
keep these students in the state
and spur economic develop-
ment.
But the dismal truth is that
the bill only poses questions
and more questions. So many
that the bill loses any chance of
doing what it is intended to do.
Here are some of the un-
knowns at this time:
What happens if a graduate
who agrees to the proposal gets
a better job offer two years into
his ve-year agreement? Whats
to prevent him from leaving
if the offer is too good to pass
up?
What incentive does a gradu-
ate have to stay after he has al-
ready received his or her degree
at the discounted costs?
Who enforces the deal? The
state? The University?
How can the state or the
University get its money back if
a student backs out of the deal?
Who is going to monitor
where these graduates are?
Do you need to live in Kan-
sas or work in Kansas?
What if a student leaves the
University or drops out one
year after accepting the deal?
How will the proposed 250
students who get the deal be
chosen?
Will it be competitive? Dont
smart students get scholarships
already?
Will the bill be a prize for
second-best students?
Will nancial aid and need
determine who gets the deal?
The University has 8,143
non-residents, is 3 percent (250
out of 8,143) of that population
going to make a difference?
When will students know if
they get the deal? Will the deci-
sion be made before the time
students choose a university to
attend?
How much money would
students save?
How much money would the
University lose?
Only two Big 12 schools
have lower non-resident tuition
and fees than the University of
Kansas. How will the deal draw
more students?
How many of the graduates
who get the deal would have
stayed in Kansas anyway?
What economic benet will
250 graduates staying in Kansas
have?
Most importantly, is a break
in tuition a good enough reason
to stay in Kansas?
The answer to these ques-
tions may be difcult, but the
answer to a policy as crazy as
this is easy. No.
John Jordan for the editorial
board
Republicans rejoice. Turns
out you are happier than your
Democratic counterparts.
This isnt exactly breaking
news. The Pew Research Center
started surveying American
happiness in 1972. Every year,
Republicans top Democrats in
feelings of joy.
In this years statistics, 45
percent of Republicans de-
scribed themselves as very
happy, while only 30 percent
of Democrats said the same.
In Pews quest for the source
of happiness, they track age,
education, wealth, race, reli-
gion, marital status, pet owner-
ship and other factors.
While pondering these statis-
tics, I was convinced the poll-
sters must have missed some-
thing that would explain the
happiness discrepancy. Surely
something explains the link
between Republicans and bliss.
Ah, of course ignorance.
Im not just talking about
your run of the mill 2+2=5
ignorance here. Republican
politicians are protecting our
happiness through a campaign
to promote and maintain igno-
rance.
We only have to look to our
own political backyard to nd
many ne examples of how the
GOP protects all of us from
dangerous knowledge.
The Republican-dominated
Kansas State Board of Educa-
tions uninching resolve that
religion belongs in the public
classroom tops the years list
for ignorance encouragement.
Evolution is a tough and com-
plicated subject. Saying that
some magical force just created
everything is easy. And we all
know that the easy answer is
the happy answer.
Last year, those same under-
enlightened Republicans dead-
locked about how to address
sexual education in school.
The result is that sex ed isnt
required teaching now.
I remember sex ed being a
nightmare. A creepy sexage-
narian talking about vaginas
and penises was not how I
liked to start my day. And the
diagrams didnt look anything
like the ones in my Penthouse
magazine. Thanks to Repub-
licans though, schools can
divert money away from such
depressing topics as HIV, teen
pregnancy and strange, itchy
rashes and put those funds
to some better, happier use
like sports. Sports make kids
happy. Maybe the boards next
good idea will be to get rid of
boring history classes in favor
of more basketball courts.
That would have made me
happier as a kid.
But alas, last week the
unhappy Kansas Senate passed
a bill ensuring that sex ed will
continue to be required. But
when ignorance is challenged,
a Republican will rise to the
cause. The Lawrence Journal
World reported that Sen. Kay
OConnor (R-Olathe) opposed
the bill because it intruded too
far into family affairs. Clearly
the children of Kansas will be
happier if protected from the
dangers of abstinence educa-
tion.
I think this could be a bad
decision as far as happiness
goes. The creepy old lady in
school was better than hear-
ing my mother stutter through
describing intercourse. Kansans
might be happier if we left sex
ed in schools.
Speaking of OConnor, this
elected woman once made
statements that she didnt sup-
port a womans right to vote.
Surely she would have been
happier had The Kansas City
Star never informed voters of
her views. Another example of
how knowledge hurts happi-
ness.
Washington Republicans
would probably prefer that
we stay ignorant of a long
list of subjects. Im positive
they think Americans would
be happier if we had never
heard of Jack Abramoff, port
deals or secret government
wiretaps.
Next year, when the folks at
Pew look at American happi-
ness, they should add a new
question to the mix:
On a scale of 1 to 10, how
ignorant do you think you are?
Farr is a Scott City senior in
journalism.
The recent attempt of a United
Arab Emirates company to pur-
chase management rights to sever-
al major U.S. ports has raised a lot
of furor. But the issue isnt really
about port security. Its not even
close. Instead, it seems to be about
politicians who are more focused
on looking tough on national
security issues than governing in a
fair and productive way.
Take, for instance, Sen. Barbara
Boxer (D-Calif.). She jumped on
this deal as yet another indication
of the incompetence of the Bush
Administration and has been do-
ing nothing short of grandstanding
on the issue. She has even fully
supported an extremely xenopho-
bic piece of legislation purposed
by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.)
that would keep foreign owned
companies from managing U.S.
ports. This idea is so absurd that
the notoriously liberal Los Angeles
Times editorial page repudiated
Boxers stand. It said, Memo
to Boxer: 13 of the 14 container
terminals at the ports of L.A. and
Long Beach, the biggest port
complex in the U.S., are run by
foreign-owned companies.
So the issue here obviously
isnt a foreign company managing
ports. It must be the U.A.E.s ties
to terrorism. After all, two of the
9/11 hijackers were citizens of
the country. But this criterion for
not doing business with com-
panies seems a little restrictive.
For instance, Germany, where
the cell that planned and carried
out 9/11 did most of its work, is
still allowed to do business with
the United States. What about
Britain, whose citizens include
shoe-bomber Richard Reid and
the perpetrators of the London
subway bombings? No one has
complained that British compa-
nies should have to give up the
right to manage ports here. If we
didnt do business with any nation
that has had al-Qaida funds ow
through its banking systems, then
the United States shouldnt be able
to do business with itself.
The crux of the matter is wheth-
er the U.A.E. is a dependable ally.
The record indicates that it is. Not
only have they handed over terror-
ists sought by the United States in
connection with the bombing of
the USS Cole, but also they have
allowed the United States to build
military bases on its soil bases
that are currently used to train
Iraqi soldiers and security forces.
There is no good reason to
punish the U.A.E. by torpedoing

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Students,
I know how important
home-court advantage is in
any competition and you
play a huge roll in the overall
excitement at athletics events
at Kansas. You bring energy
and pride that can intimidate
any team coming in to play
the Jayhawks.
Were going to need some
of that energy tonight when
we play Kansas State. Our
seniors have never beaten
the Wildcats at home and we
think tonight is the perfect
night to start that tradition.
We need you to help make
this happen. Be loud, be
proud and support your team
in the crimson and blue. We
know how much pride Jay-
hawk fans have, and we are
asking you to join us today at
7 p.m. in your arena Allen
Fieldhouse.
Help us protect our house
on Senior Night. Tickets are
free for students with your
KUID. Please show up and
force KSU to remember the
Jayhawks!
Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

FROM KANSAN.COM
Thank you for expressing
these views in a publication. For
a non-smoker who works on
campus every day, there seems
hope from your article. The
emotional and monetary costs
of smoking are unbelievable,
yet smokers try to pass their
habit as something enjoyable. It
is their right to enjoy life, but it
cannot deny anothers right to
life. Smoking outdoors does not
guarantee the smoke will avoid
non-smokers lungs nearby,
though I wish that were possible.
Posted on Monday, Feb. 27,
at 12:27 p.m. in response to Neil
Spectors column Ban falls short
on promoting health.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH
You could see a situation far more differ-
ently than many. The difference is, you are
plugging in your creativity and imagination.
You fnd answers when others dont. Take
action and soothe others feathers. You
have what it takes.
Tonight: Ever playful.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH
Knowing when to say no could make all the
difference in the outcome of a situation.
Right now, your best role is as a behind
the scenes player. Your intuition could be
helpful with fnances. Still, obtain the facts.
Tonight: Rest up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH
You might be a lot more willful than you
realize. If you are drawing odd reactions,
your high-voltage energy could be a factor.
Follow-through does count. Your ruler goes
retrograde today, possibly causing you to
feel funky. Be reasonable.
Tonight: Where the action is.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH
Take charge and handle a matter that
ultimately might be very important to you.
Realize that everyone has his or her limits.
You are likely to encounter them today or
in the next few weeks. Choose your words
carefully, as a misunderstanding happen-
ing today or in the near future could last.
Tonight: In the limelight.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH
Discipline your spending in the next few
weeks. Otherwise, you could jeopardize
some of your fondest hopes and wishes by
foolish decisions. Postpone strong decisions
for now -- OK? Detach as much as you can.
Tonight: Take in a movie.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH
You could defnitely be out of kilter, so take
your time. Listen to someone who gives
you feedback. Your ability to read between
the lines could help you with a partner. You
could be the source of your own problems.
Your ruler going retrograde encourages you
to look within. Tonight: Accept an invitation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH
Understand that others plan to run the show
whether you like it or not. As a result, you
will gain because of your ability to deal
with others in the present framework. Dont
close down options. Review a personal
issue with an eye to control issues.
Tonight: Follow anothers lead.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH
Think of how much you could accomplish
if you charge into your day to get the job
done. Visualize more of what you want from
life. You can make it happen. Are you ready?
You might want to rethink a partnership.
Tonight: Continue in to do mode.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH
Your imagination points you in the right di-
rection, if you are ready. Are you? Romance
could beneft from more thoughtfulness. A
relationship that enters your life right now
could be a problem.
Tonight: Be naughty and nice.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH
Your expectations might be a bit much. You
could fnd this out the hard way -- through
disappointment. Think positively with others.
You might want to think before you make a
major decision involving home and family.
Tonight: Happiest at home.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH
Investigate possibilities with an eye to suc-
cess. You might need to rethink a situation
more carefully. Talks could be illuminating
but not fnal. Understand that you can ac-
complish a lot more than you realize.
Tonight: Hang at a favorite spot.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HH
Expenses could be a bit much. Calling a halt
to spending could be diffcult but ultimately
important. You might have had enough of a
situation involving a key associate. The frst
step is to start becoming more independent.
Tonight: Pay bills.

8A The UniversiTy DAily KAnsAn ThUrsDAy, mArch 2, 2006 news
Jonathan Landrum Jr.
AssociAted Press Writer
DECATUR, Ga. Hurricane
Katrina brought grief and loss to
Zelda Richard and her family.
It even drove them from their
New Orleans home. But after
they evacuated to Georgia, their
local church followed.
We lost some of our friends,
family and everything we cher-
ished, Richard said. Church
was the one thing that made us
feel connected and gave us a
sense of home.
Greater St. Stephen Full Gos-
pel Baptist Church was a major
congregation in New Orleans
with 20,000 members at three
locations. The largest was de-
stroyed in Katrinas foodwaters,
while the others sustained mi-
nor damage.
With many in his fock not
planning to move back, Bishop
Paul Morton decided to come to
them. Hes opened a permanent
church in suburban Atlanta to
serve the spiritual needs of those
who have found a new life hun-
dreds of miles from their once-
fooded homes.
We wanted to be one church
in two cities, Morton said.
The churchs staff traveled
with Morton in the days and
weeks following Katrina to Ba-
ton Rouge, Houston, Dallas,
Memphis and Atlanta to min-
ister to evacuees. As his two
remaining churches in New
Orleans were being repaired,
Morton preached at his brother
James church in Decatur, east
of Atlanta.
Morton said he had no plans to
start a new church outside New
Orleans, but eventually felt com-
pelled to lay down roots some-
where where he could help evacu-
ees. Under the same name of his
ministry in New Orleans, Greater
St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist
Church opened its doors in an
abandoned strip mall in Decatur.
About 2,000 people packed
the new church for its frst service
on Jan. 29, and hundreds more
were turned away because there
just wasnt enough room. In just
four weeks, the churchs regis-
tered membership grew to 1,000.
They join a ministry with up to
5,000 members attending services
again at Mortons two remaining
churches in New Orleans, which
reopened in November.
Every giving person helped
out more than theyll ever
know, said Raymond Steib, frst
assistant pastor of the ministry.
Richard, who attended the
church in New Orleans that
was destroyed, said shes been
revived by the camaraderie at
the Decatur church - one of the
main reasons why she is staying
in Georgia.
For us to have this church
here, it was almost like a touch
of home, she said. It was al-
most like a baby fnding their
mother. Its the one thing I can
hold on to and remember all
the good things, instead of the
bad.
Richard, 43, evacuated with
her two teenage daughters, sister,
niece and 85-year-old mother,
Mary Watson. The family didnt
leave because Watson couldnt
travel under doctors orders.
Watson lived through Hurri-
cane Betsy in 1965 but said the
aftermath of Katrina was much
more disturbing. The family trav-
eled through nine hotels before
fnally landing the Atlanta area.
Two hurricanes in one life-
time is enough, she said.
The six family members
shared two oxygen masks as
they endured the toxic atmo-
sphere in New Orleans for two
days before they were able to
leave. When the masks began
to malfunction, they started to
lose hope. But Richard said they
formed a circle and prayed.
We thought we were going to
die, said Richard, whose family
was holed up on the top foor of
a New Orleans hotel during the
food. The building was shak-
ing and the water was up to the
fourth foor. So we prayed and
that brought us through.
Now helping as accountant
at the church, Richard said the
experience resonated with her
when Morton preached soon
after the storm about the impor-
tance of faith in desperate situ-
ations: If you lose hope, then
you cant make it, he said.

Church relocates
after devastation
Lent begins
Megan True/KANSAN
Father James Sanchez, Associate Chaplain of St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, places ashes on Ro-
epark senior Miranda Spinis forehead Wednesday morning for Ash Wednesday Mass. Ash Wednesday is the
frst day of Lent, which ends on Easter Sunday. Spini said Ash Wednesday was important because it reminded
her of the sacrifce Christ made for her and the world.
LAw
woman doesnt know
why she helped convict
ATHENS, Tenn. A dog
trainer said she had always
been a law-abiding citizen and
still couldnt explain why she
helped a convicted murderer
escape a Kansas prison in a
pet crate.
I havent even fgured it
all out yet, a teary-eyed Toby
Young said Monday in a jail-
house interview with The Daily
Post-Athenian newspaper.
My whole life, Ive always
done good things. Ive never
even had a speeding ticket
well, no, I had one speeding
ticket, Young said.
Young, 47, waived extradi-
tion Monday, but a dispatcher
at the McMinn County jail said
Young was still in custody
Tuesday.
The Associated Press
whistle-blowing case
dismissed by judge
WICHITA A federal court
has dismissed much of a
whistle-blower lawsuit which
claimed that commercial and
military planes built by The
Boeing Co. contain bogus
parts, but kept the lawsuit
alive on allegations that the
company retaliated against the
employees.
In an order made public
Tuesday, U.S. District Judge
Wesley Brown said he was
dismissing parts of the case
because the plaintiffs were
not specific enough in their
allegations that Boeing
defrauded the U.S. govern-
ment.
But the judge allowed
them to amend and refile
the complaint within 15
days.

The love
affair between
ESPN and ACC
basketball may
well be hitting a romantic cre-
scendo this weekend.
This Saturday, the No. 1
Duke Blue Devils will play host
to the No. 15 North Carolina
Tar Heels in each teams regular
season fnale. In a frst for the
network, ESPN U: Full Circle
as it has been dubbed, will
feature not one, but 10 different
media outlets covering one of
the games.
In addition to the Dick Vitale-
infested coverage on ESPN,
ESPN2 will show the game in
its entirety from the Above the
Rim camera which we are ac-
customed to seeing during breaks
in the action. And ESPNU will
show the game from cameras
planted within the Cameron
Crazies student section while
seven other ESPN entities will
feature pre- and post-game cov-
erage of the game.
(My personal favorite piece
of fuff will be a pre-game piece
featuring former Vice Presiden-
tial candidate John Edwards
playing H-O-R-S-E with a group
of Duke players. People will not
have cared this little about what
John Edwards is doing since he
ran for Vice President.)
But, kidding aside, there
is something seriously wrong
here. This is all emblematic of
what is wrong with ESPN and
how it covers college basket-
ball. Weve all heard the battle
cry of the disenfranchised Big
12 fans: ESPN has an East
Coast bias.
That may be true. But if I were a
die-hard Duke or UNC fan and
had the El Camino to prove it
Id be pretty pissed at ESPN
right now. Id be mad because the
network has transformed a rivalry
from one based on mutual hatred
between two schools into one
based on money and over-expo-
sure.
If Mizzou was any good,
would Kansas really want this
much coverage of the Border
War games each year? Sure, itd
be nice to have a little more cov-
erage from the national media,
but the chances of the games
living up to an entire nations
expectations each time around
are pretty slim.

A Texas loss gives Kansas shot at top spot

Kemp finishing storied career

Editors note: This is the last
of the womens basketball senior
profles, leading up to todays
game against Kansas State. Ear-
lier profles are on Kansan.com.
Crystal Kemp will be the fnal
senior recognized tonight the
last Jayhawk to say goodbye on Se-
nior Night.
It is a ftting fnish, the teams star
saved for last. but perhaps there are
other motives other reasons to
prolong the inevitable departure.
Perhaps Kansas coach Bonnie
Henrickson wants to hang on to the
frst superstar player she coached
at Kansas a little bit longer.
Perhaps by reading off a few
more of Kemps impressive stats,
somehow she will get the all-Big
12 selection she deserves, even
though she plays at Kansas, an af-
terthought in the current world of
womens college basketball.
And perhaps Jayhawk fans just
dont want to let go of the Kansas
girl who has been the face of the
team for the last four years.
Put simply, Crystal Kemp is Kan-
sas womens basketball.

Out to prove its
not Bramlage
By Michael PhilliPs
mphillips@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It wouldnt be diffcult to ar-
gue that this will be the biggest
womens basketball game to be
played at Allen Fieldhouse since
it played host to the NCAA tour-
nament in 1997.
Kansas and Kansas State meet
tonight at 7 in a nationally-tele-
vised game that will draw thou-
sands of fans to the feldhouse,
decide the Wildcats postseason
fate and provide the Kansas se-
niors with one last chance to de-
feat their in-state rival.
In case that isnt enough,
theres also Kansas State senior
Jessica McFarlands thoughts on
coming to Lawrence to play.
Im not sure theres really any
intimidation, since its Bramlage
East, McFarland said Sunday,
in reference to the thousands of
Wildcat fans who are expected
to make the trip to Lawrence
tonight. That comment quickly
found its way onto Internet mes-
sage boards.
McFarland told The Kansan
on Tuesday that the statement
wasnt an insult, but rather a jest
with an old friend, Kansas for-
ward Crystal Kemp.

The players on the Kansas bench
threw their arms in the air and jumped
with excitement when they saw the score
on the jumbotron.
Texas A&M defeated Texas and Kan-
sas was tied again for frst place in the Big
12 Conference.
We had our eye on that score a little bit,
senior guard Stephen Vinson said. To see
that we were back in a tie for the Big 12,
there was some excitement on the bench.
Freshman guard Brandon Rush re-
sponded to the news by hugging his
teammates with a big smile on his face.
Just four days after their 25-point loss to
the Longhorns, the Jayhawks were back
in the exact same position they were be-
fore that defeat looking to win their
49th conference championship.
Its where we want to be, Vinson
said. We want to be where we control
our own destiny and thats where we are
right now. We are just going to try to have
a couple good practices and go try and
get a ring.
Kansas coach Bill Self got help from
his former assistant and friend, Texas
A&M coach Billy Gillispie.
They got a great win and it gives us a
chance, Self said. Certainly we are in
the game.
It was probably the biggest reaction
the Kansas players had the entire night. It
happened just seconds following the 75-
54 victory against Colorado on Wednes-
day night in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks won with solid defense.
Colorado missed 22 of its frst 23 shots to
contribute to the 32-15 Kansas halftime
lead.
I know there were some shots that
they missed that they should have made,
Vinson said. But at the same time, we
were out their fghting and they didnt
have many open looks.
Kansas forced 11 steals and held Colo-
rado to just more than 18 percent in the
frst half. Colorado shot 31.3 percent for
the game.
We played probably as good a defense
the frst 15 minutes as weve played all
year, Self said.

It seemed like The Fran-
chise couldnt miss during
its 68-60 victory against Phi
Slamma Jamma on Tuesday
night at the Student Recre-
ation and Fitness Center.
The Franchise will move
on to the sec-
ond round
of the mens
open intramu-
ral basketball
playoffs.
The Fran-
chise relied
on three-point
shots for all of
its points dur-
ing the first
half.
Shelby Scholz, Atchison
senior, and graduate students
Matt Wolff, Herington; Na-
than Mast, Champaign, Ill.;
and Justin Bauman, Canton,
Ill.; all hit multiple three-
point shots in the first half.
They played really well
and were tough to beat be-
cause they were shooting so
well, Phi Slamma Jammas
Clark Grisell, Garden City se-
nior said.
The Franchise consistently
used screens and a zone de-
fense. The team was made of
student managers from the
Kansas mens and womens
basketball teams.
During the second half, Phi
Slamma Jamma cut the lead
with an 8-0 run. The team was
led by Grisell and Doug Seck,
L e a w o o d
senior.
The score
was tied at
60 with 1:50
remaining in
the game.
Phi Slam-
ma Jamma
was unable
to score and
The Fran-
chise went on its own 8-0 run,
winning the game.
We played well as a team
and look forward to our
next game and making it to
the championship, Bauman
said.
The Franchise will play

Kemp
continued from page 1B
In the coming months, the
team will have to craft a new
identity for itself. But not to-
night. Tonight is Crystals night.
Mom knows best
The Jayhawks are going to
win tonight; Janice Kemp said
so.
Kemps mother, Janice, is as
much a part of the Jayhawk
family as any of the players.
Of her three children, Crystal
is the youngest and was the
only one still at home a few
years ago when Janice devel-
oped Graves disease, which
left her body fragile and prone
to seizures.
At the same time, she also
underwent brain surgery for an
aneurism, but doctors decided it
was too dangerous to repair, and
it is still there.
Crystal helped care for her
mother during that time, and in
her junior year of high school,
she decided she would attend
college at Kansas, close to
home.
Janice tries to make it to all of
Crystals home games, but even
getting from her home in Tope-
ka to the games in Lawrence is
a struggle.
I try to rest a couple days
before the game so I can be
able to attend, but sometimes I
still cant, she said. If Im not
there, Im there in spirit.
Of course, it is much more
fun to watch Janice when she is
there in person. For two hours
she shakes off her disease and
shouts support to the players,
waving signs and occasionally
chiding the offcials.
Shell tell me what hap-
pened, and who said what about
what she was yelling, Crystal
said with a laugh.
The other players notice her
attendance, too, and call her
Mom when greeting her with
hugs after games.
You have to give the oth-
er girls support, too, because
theyre not all from Topeka,
Janice explained.
What will Janice do when she
doesnt have a game to attend
anymore? Perhaps that is why
Crystal will be recognized last.
A leader by example
Kemp will likely have the op-
portunity to play professionally
when she is fnished at Kansas,
but she said at some point she
would like to become a coach.
During high school, she
worked in that role at a local
community center and enjoyed
the infuence she had there.
Plus, it gave her a chance to stay
around the game of basketball.
I dont see my life without
basketball, so Id like to be a
part of it as long as I can, she
said.
She will travel to Boston
for this years Womens Final
Four, where she will partici-
pate in an event put on by the
Womens Basketball Coaches
Association where she can
meet and network with cur-
rent coaches.
Henrickson said coaching
would be a nice ft for her be-
cause of the infuence she had in
the locker room.
You can lead without being
the loudest voice, and I think
Crystal can. And when she does
decide to speak, people listen,
Henrickson said. Ive always
told Crystal she is a player of in-
fuence.
Her teammates agree, and
said that her work ethic and
personality contributed to that.
Off the court, shes just
a great person. I love being
around her, freshman guard
Ivana Catic said. I wish in three
years I could be like our seniors
are people that can be relied
on both on the court and off the
court.
It also helps that Kemp un-
derstands the game. When Hen-
rickson arrived at Kansas, Kemp
and guard Erica Hallman were
both juniors. She realized right
away that the two had what she
called a high basketball IQ.
During practices, Henrickson
said she would sometimes look
at Crystal and grin, because they
both saw the exact same thing.
What will Henrickson do
without her best player and
team leader? Perhaps this is
why Crystal will be recognized
last.
A mix of fnesse and toughness
Coming out of high school,
Kemp was a McDonalds All-
American nominee. She arrived
on a Kansas team that had just
gone 0-16 in conference play, so
she never had a chance to ease
into the lineup. She just started
playing. A lot.
Of all the statistics, perhaps
none are as impressive as these:
Kemp has played in all 111
games since she arrived, and
started in 107 of them.
During those games, she has
averaged 31.2 minutes on the
court. Through it all, she has
never had a major injury.
Im very fortunate, and thats
one of the things Ive been
blessed about, she said.
Kemps style of play is a mix
between the fnesse of basket-
ball and the physical toughness
of football. Opposing teams will
often use two defenders to guard
Kemp because of her tendency
to terrorize defenses when left
one-on-one. That often means
desperate defenders will resort
to bumping, pushing or elbow-
ing her in an attempt to move
her.
When she gets the ball, she
often fnishes the play with a
fnesse hook shot that regularly
fnds the net. This season she is
averaging 18.7 points per game,
better than anyone else in the
Big 12 north.
Unlike during previous sea-
sons, her scoring has not de-
creased as the season has pro-
gressed. The wear-and-tear of
40-minute nights may have got-
ten to her in the past, but not
this year.
Its my last go-round, I dont
want to regret anything, she
said.
After this season, she will
likely be able to pursue profes-
sional basketball, although she
said she wanted to play for only
a few years at the most. She also
will be in the running to pick up
some Big 12 postseason honors.
Shes had a fantastic year
in the league and Id just be
shocked if she didnt, Henrick-
son said. I think she deserves it
and I think shes earned it.
Who will Kansas put on post-
ers when Crystal leaves? Who
will be the star of the television
commercial, the player who al-
ways does the postgame inter-
view? Perhaps questions like
these are why Crystal will be
recognized last.
Leaving her mark at Kansas
After the game, Janice will tell
Crystal how she did, although it
might be a little biased.
If I had no points and turned
it over 40 times, shell still say I
played great, Crystal said.
Thats not something either
Kemp will have to worry about.
Crystal has a chance to go out
by playing postseason basket-
ball for the frst time in her col-
lege career, and though its not
the big tournament, that doesnt
bother her.
It would be nice if the NCAA
wish fairy could grant us that
one, but the NIT is good enough
for me, she said.
The achievement will be a ft-
ting end to a basketball career
during which Crystal has ma-
tured not just on the court, but
off it as well.
People who recognize Janice
stop her and congratulate her
on Crystals success. Some of
them have followed Crystals ca-
reer from her high school days
in Topeka.
This is why Crystal Kemp will
be introduced last tonight. Be-
cause for the last eight years, she
has played basketball with grace
and fair, and she has touched
many peoples lives along the
way.
It brings tears to my eyes,
Janice said. I smile and say,
Thats my Crystal.

Max Falkenstien could barely get to his headset. After step-
ping on the foor at 6:25 last night, it took him three minutes to
walk 25 feet to his chair.
Fans did not want to let him go, in what was Falkenstiens
last game in Allen Fieldhouse. Knowing they had to, they sim-
ply made Thank you Max the theme of the night.
The fans gave Falkenstien a 40second ovation when he
frst entered the court, which led to a Thank you Max chant.
Thousands held Thanks, Max signs and others wore
Thank you Max shirts. He also had his own video montage
during halftime with the words Thank you Max below the
video board.
Everyone wanted one last glance, thank you or touch by the
81-year-old announcer.
This kind of charm and effect earned Falkenstien a retired
jersey hanging in the rafters, an area reserved for legendary
players. The number 60 was retired to honor his 60 years on
the sideline.
Joined by his family and former players at half, he received a
bronze Jayhawk statue along with the retired number. Only a few
fans left before the ceremony, leaving most of the 13,600 fans on
their feet. As Falkenstiens broadcast partner of 22 years, Bob
Davis, put it, Falkenstien was KUs true senior honored on se-
nior night. Falkenstien held his composure during the ceremony.
His 5-foot-8 frame stood straight up as he never shed a tear.
He did admit though, As my good friend Larry Brown taught
me to say, Gosh, this sure is special.
Thanking and publicly recognizing his friends, he gave the
crowd a little motto on basketball and the value of friendship.
Statistics are for the record books, but friendships are for
life, Falkenstien said.
He ended his speech with something he said he cannot say
on air, only to the Jayhawk nation.
As I bid my swan song, go Hawks.
Falkenstien autographed shirts and pictures and even donned
a fans KU robe for a picture.
Three fans even spelled Max out in body paint.
David Schutter, Great Bend freshman, Jason Daley and Jim
Erickson, Overland Park sophomores, were those die-hards.
Their sign said, On the eighth day God created Max. And
hes been on KU radio ever since. The trio felt it was the least
they could do for their favorite radio personality.
Anyone whos been here 60 years deserves a painting,
Erickson said.
Daley said Falkenstien deserved nothing less than a plaque.
Perhaps a retired jersey hanging in the feldhouse will do.

FiELDHOUSE FAREWELL
Reach
continued from page 1B
But it seemed that every time Kansas estab-
lished a lead close to 20 points, Colorado would
respond with a run of its own in the second half.
The Buffaloes stayed in the game with solid play
on the glass, pulling down 22 offensive rebounds.
Kansas fnally put together a run late in the
game, which gave it a 21-point lead.
When we have them down, we just try to keep
them down and not let them back in the game,
freshman guard Mario Chalmers said. They start-
ed making a little run, but we got re-focused and
brought the lead back up.
Chalmers was vital to that focus. With Kansas
up just eight, he hit a three-pointer with less than
fve minutes to go to put Kansas up 11. After that
shot, Colorado wasnt able to get another run go-
ing. This sealed the victory and enabled Kansas to
forget about the big loss at Texas on Feb. 25.
Kansas overcame poor free throw shooting to get
its 12th conference victory. It shot only 10-of-21 from
the charity stripe. Balanced scoring was the key for
Kansas on senior night. Four players were in double
fgures and Chalmers led the teamwith 14 points.
Sophomorecenter CJ Giles continuedhis solidplay,
scoring 11 points and pulling down eight rebounds in
just 23 minutes. He was active on the defensive end
and blocked two shots. Kansas will face Kansas State
in a revenge game in Manhattan on Saturday.
Now we are back in the race, and it is a big
game on Saturday, Rush said.

Bonds wore a strapless dress and
a blonde wig, trying to look like
Paula Abdul in front of a small
gathering of fans and teammates,
as the San Francisco Giants staged
their version of American Idol.
Bonds entertained and delighted
everyone watching the mock con-
test at Giants camp in Scottsdale,
Ariz., on Tuesday as young players
had to sing in front of the judges.
Ill never tell my wife to hurry up
any more, Bonds said. Because
it took me forever to get ready.
Ill never do that again. I couldnt
get my hair right. There were a lot
things I went through during the 30
minutes I was getting ready.
Giants Idol was the brainchild
of Mark Sweeney, who signed
with the team as a free agent in
the offseason. He decided the
Idol competition would raise
some money and help spark
team unity after last years dis-
appointing season when the Gi-
ants fnished under .500 for the
frst time since 1996.
It was up in the air whether
Barry would do this, Sweeney
said. We asked him this morn-
ing. It was almost embarrassing
to have him do it.
The event raised $337 from
fans that will be matched by the
Giants organization and donated
to the Giants Community Fund.
It was pretty cool, said Omar
Vizquel, who acted as host Ryan
Seacrest. I just thought he was
going to be a judge. As long as
you have fun you connect with
each other.

Weve played together for a
long time, McFarland said. I was
just referring to her on that one.
Its certainly not unreason-
able for Wildcat fans to make
the claim: Kansas State has won
nine in a row against Kansas,
and as recently as two years ago,
Allen Fieldhouse became en-
gulfed in a sea of purple when
the two teams met. In 2002, a
crowd of 12,000 consisted al-
most entirely of Wildcat fans.
Times have changed, though,
and the Jayhawk seniors would
like nothing more than for their f-
nal home game to be the one when
they fnally beat Kansas State.
Senior day is motivation in
itself, senior guard Erica Hall-
man said. But thats motivation
as well because its kind of dis-
respectful.
The players are trying to get
the Jayhawk students to come
support them during the game.
During the week, fiers were
posted in Allen Fieldhouse with
McFarlands quote and a plea
for student support.
During the Manhattan game,
Wildcat students were out in
full force, flling up the section
behind the Jayhawk bench and
yelling every time coach Bonnie
Henrickson tried to talk to the
players.
The Jayhawks will need all
the help they can get, as the
Wildcats will have plenty to play
for. Sitting on a 7-8 conference
record, the team has to win this
game to preserve its chances of
making the NCAA tournament.
We defnitely need to win for
that, McFarland said. Espe-
cially since its the last one, you
want to take a win into the con-
ference tournament.
After the game Kansas will bid
farewell to senior guards Erica
Hallman and Kaylee Brown and
senior forward Crystal Kemp.
The three seniors have been
responsible for 72 percent of
Kansas scoring during confer-
ence play, and have formed the
emotional core of the team.
They have speculated during
the past few weeks which player
will be the frst to cry during the
festivities.
I think Erica will probably
be the frst one to shed a few
tears, Kemp said. But well
probably join her after we see
the frst person break.
Tonights game will be played
with passion on both sides, and
while Kansas also has a rivalry
with Missouri, Kansas State has
only one target each year.
Everybody at K-State, some
of them may not know a lot
about womens basketball, but
they are always asking, Did you
beat KU? McFarland said. Its
always good to say yes.
Thats what shes been able
to say during her entire college
career. Tonight the Jayhawk se-
niors have one last chance to
answer back.

There is no denying that
Duke and UNC have an awe-
some rivalry. Two national
basketball powers both of
whom have won more than one
national title since Kansas last
won one located within eight
miles of each other, trumps
any other regional rivalry in
America. Both coaches are
shoe-in, frst ballot Hall-of-
Famers. And with apologies to
the Dean Dome, every second
game they play against each
other is in the only venue in the
nation that can hold a candle
to Allen Fieldhouse in terms of
the fans.
But at what point is it too
much? According to the ESPN.
com, ESPN360 is planning on
running a dedicated North
Carolina-Duke channel featur-
ing condensed versions of the
top fve games between the two
teams, a music video retrospec-
tive on the two teams, the full-
length version of SportsCenters
Sunday Conversation with
Coach K, plus a condensed ver-
sion of the March 4 game.
How can this game a regular-
season game at that possibly
live up to all of that? J.J. Redick
could give birth during this game
and Id still be disappointed.
Look, the best things about
college basketball are the mo-
ments it gives us. Bryce Drew.
Tyus Edney. Christian Laettner.
All are players synonymous,
not with their publicity and
box scores, but with the great
moments they gave us. Its the
unpredictable, the unscriptable
that makes college basketball
so great.

Kyle Pettys improbable
recruiting effort finally paid
off.
For three years, Petty nagged
Bobby Labonte to come drive
the family teams famed No. 43
car.
Hed stop Labonte on the
streets of their subdivision in
Trinity, N.C., where Petty jogs
and Labonte rides his bicycle.
Theyd talk on airplane rides.
One day, they ran into each
other getting a bite to eat at
Panera.
Petty delivered the same
plea every time: Come drive
that 43, man.
Petty was joking at least
he thought he was. Why would
Labonte, the 2000 series cham-
pion, leave an elite team such
as Joe Gibbs Racing for a once-
dominant team that has fallen
on two decades worth of hard
times?
Turns out, the chance to
help turn around Petty Enter-
prises proved more attractive
to Labonte than Petty antici-
pated.
He had people throwing
money at him, fortune and
fame and houses and cars and
all kinds of stuff, Petty said.
But in the end, this is where
he chose to come.
Labontes move is the latest
and most high-profle step in a
recent talent infusion that has
the Petty people talking turn-
around.
Robbie Loomis, who left the
Pettys to become Jeff Gordons
crew chief in 2000, has re-
turned to become the teams
executive vice president.
Todd Parrott, who won a
championship with Dale Jar-
rett in 1999, will be Labontes
crew chief.
They join Paul Andrews, an-
other championship-winning
crew chief, who came to the
team last season.
In a short period of time,
morale really went through the
ceiling, Petty said.
Labonte and Petty both were
involved in crashes in the sea-
son-opening Daytona 500, but
Labonte showed the teams po-
tential in the middle of the race
by climbing into the top 10 and
staying there, weaving his way
to as high as sixth.
Asked to list reasonable
goals for the season, Petty talks
about trying to develop chemis-
try and becoming more consis-
tent in the frst half, then going
after steady top-fve and top-10
fnishes in the second half.

KSU
Tip-off
OFFENSE
The question mark here is how long it will take
senior guard Erica Hallman to fnd her shooting
touch. Hallman is responsible for most of the
teams scoring from behind the arc, but she is
alternately hot and cold and rarely in-between.
She started out cold against Missouri on Sunday
before Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson told her
to follow through more on her shot. After that
point, she started hitting her shots and had a ca-
reer-high 29 points in the victory.
Kansas also will have to balance playing time
between junior guard Sharita Smith and fresh-
man guard Ivana Catic. Smith has been a de-
fensive catalyst for the team, proving she can
match up with anybody in the league. Catic has
been the teams only true point guard who has
seen much time this season. If Kansas State
starts scoring, look for Smith to get the minutes,
in which case Hallman will have to pick up the
slack on the offensive end.
DEFENSE
Back in January, the Jayhawks lost a 69-63
game to the Wildcats because they had no an-
swer for freshman forward Marlies Gipson.
Gipson is a better player now than she was dur-
ing that game, but Kansas shouldnt lose sleep
thinking about guarding her. Senior forward
Crystal Kemp has been helped on defense in re-
cent games by sophomore forward Taylor McIn-
tosh and freshman forward Marija Zinic.
The Wildcats dont pose any challenge for
Smith beyond what shes already faced. In the
past month Smith has shut down three of the
Big 12s best players: Nebraskas Kierra Hardy,
Iowa States Lyndsey Medders and Missouris
LaToya Bond.
COACHING
Henrickson has presided over the high of a
12-0 start and the low of winning only three of
the frst 11 conference games. She fnally has
room to work with the bench, as Smith and
freshman forward Marija Zinic are able to re-
lieve the starters without any drop in
quality of play. Smith has helped
fll the void that was created
when junior guard Shaquina
Mosley failed to develop into
the type of player Henrickson
was looking for.
The coaching staff has in-
stalled a new offense that allows
Smith to play to the shooting
strengths of Hallman and senior
guard Kaylee Brown. The team will
no doubt be watching video of the
loss to Kansas State earlier in the season
to see what can be improved on.
DEFENSE
Kansas State nearly blew a 17-point lead late in
the game at Bramlage Coliseum earlier this season.
Kansas was able to cut the lead down to two points.
The Jayhawks proved they could put together a run
against the Wildcats defense. The key to stopping Kan-
sas is not to control senior forward Crystal Kemp, but
to stop the guards. Kansas offense is most effective
with guards driving through the lane and kicking back
out to the perimeter. A zone defense, popular against
Kemp, will struggle if Kansas guards are knocking
down shots.
OFFENSE
Kansas State ranks near the middle of the Big 12 con-
ference in most offensive statistics. The game could be
won at the three-point line, with both teams in the top
four in the conference in three-point shooting percent-
age. If Kansas State goes cold from behind the arc, it
will be up to its young forwards to battle in the paint
against an improving Kansas defense. While the Wild-
cats young post players are improving, the Jayhawks
experience in the paint could be too much to handle.
COACHING
Its not quite a decade of dominance, as Kan-
sas State fans like to claim their football team has
against Kansas, but Wildcats coach Deb Patterson
has accumulated an impressive record against the
Jayhawks especially the past four seasons. Pat-
terson is also 9-0 against Kansas in the past four sea-
sons. She will desperately need a 10th straight victo-
ry if Kansas State hopes to continue its streak of four
NCAA Tournaments in a row. The program shes built
in Manhattan is the type of program Kansas coach
Bonnie Henrickson hopes to duplicate in Lawrence.
Henrickson and her Jayhawks could be well on their
way to doing just that with a victory tonight.
After starting the season 12-0,
the Jayhawks were able to win
only two of their next 11 games.
That streak was broken when the
team won its frst road game, a
57-56 overtime victory, at Iowa
State. After a victory against
Missouri, Kansas has to feel
pretty good about its chances of
making the Womens National
Invitational Tournament, and
beating Kansas State would all
but guarantee a selection.
It took overtime to settle
the Border Showdown, but
Kansas prevailed over Mis-
souri in an 81-71 thriller Feb.
25. A crowd of 5,467 was on
hand to watch the game, which
was the second largest of the
season in Allen Fieldhouse.
Senior guard Erica Hallman led
the Jayhawks in scoring with
29, followed by Kemps 25. The
Tigers stayed in the game by
the strength of their free-throw
shooting; the team converted
on 21-consecutive attempts,
tying a school record.
Forwards not named
Crystal Kemp. Sophomore
Taylor McIntosh and fresh-
man Marija Zinic will share
minutes opposite Kemp in the
paint. Opposing defenses have
a tendency to double-team
Kemp, leaving these two with
open shots. They also will have
to contribute on the defensive
end, where they sometimes
have open looks at rebounds
because of all the attention
placed on Kemp.

the Big 12 in three-point shooting
percentage.

0 The number of Big 12
North players who have a better
scoring average than Kemps 19
points per game.
6-0 Kansas record when the
fnal margin is fve points or less.
With a WNIT berth all but
guaranteed, Kansas will look
to establish momentum going
into the Big 12 Tournament in
Dallas next week.
Perhaps the biggest implica-
tions are for future years. If
the Jayhawks can win, it will
help Henrickson compete for
top recruits in the state.
Its now or never for the
Jayhawk seniors, who face
their last, and perhaps best,
chance to defeat the Wildcats.
The game will have the feel of
the postseason, with an equal
number of fans supporting
both teams, the possibility of
this being the last game of the
season and national televi-
sion coverage. The Wildcats
know what it is like to play
big games, and the Jayhawks
cant get overwhelmed early.
Kansas State has dropped
fve of its last eight games
since defeating Kansas on Jan.
25. This recent stretch adds ad-
ditional importance to to-
nights Sunfower Showdown.
With a team built mainly
around freshmen and sopho-
mores, Kansas State was
expected to have a rebuilding
season.
Kansas State dropped its
best chance to secure a bid
in the NCAA Tournament, los-
ing to No. 10 Baylor 79-70 at
Bramlage Coliseum on Feb.
25. The Wildcats sealed their
defeat by scoring only fve
baskets in the fnal 11 minutes
of the game. Junior guard
Twiggy McIntyre led Kansas
State with 20 points.
Marlies Gipson. The
freshmen forward scored
a team-high 16 points for
the Wildcats in the earlier
meeting this season. On the
season, Gipson shoots nearly
50 percent from the feld. She
is one of three forwards that
Kansas State starts and could
possibly be matched up with
a Kansas guard on several
possessions.
9 The number of consecu-
tive victories for Kansas State
against Kansas in the last four
seasons.
4 The number of con-
secutive NCAA Tournament
appearances for the Wildcats
under coach Deb Patterson.
6.81 The average amount
of three-point feld goals
made per game by Kansas
State.
34 The total points scored
by Kansas States forwards
in the game earlier in the
season.
The Wildcats NCAA Tour-
nament streak could end this
year. If Kansas State loses
tonight, it would drop its Big
12 Conference record to 7-9,
a mark that wont sit well
with the tournament selec-
tion committee. The team has
dropped two straight games
to top 10 teams and passed
up a chance to get a signa-
ture victory for its tourna-
ment resum. With a loss
tonight, these two teams just
might meet up again in the
Womens National Invitation-
al Tournament.
Kansas State must fnd
a way to counter the emo-
tion Kansas players will be
playing with on Senior Night.
In the biggest game in the
rivalry in nearly fve years,
the key for the Wildcats will
be to strike frst and get the
thousands of fans in purple
who focked to Allen Field-
house behind them. Kansas
has a knack for winning close
games this season, especially
at home. If the score is close
late in the game, Kansas
States purple reign could
end tonight.

t university of missouri
Snyder encouraged to resign one year ago
AlAn Scher ZAgier
The AssociATed Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. Former
Missouri basketball coach Quin
Snyder was frst encouraged by
athletics director Mike Alden
to consider a midseason resig-
nation more than a year ago,
according to notes from Chan-
cellor Brady Deatons recently
concluded internal investiga-
tion.
And before what would be-
come Snyders fnal season at
Missouri, Deaton and Alden in
October rejected the coachs re-
quest for a public show of sup-
port and a commitment to hon-
or his contract through 2008,
Deatons Feb. 21 notes show.
The Associated Press obtained
the notes Wednesday through a
public records request.
What Deatons investigation
doesnt clarify, though, is the
role played by Tiger broadcaster
Gary Link, a special assistant to
Alden whom Snyder said deliv-
ered an ultimatum to the coach
on Feb. 9, hours after Snyder
told reporters he would fnish
out the season.
Link told Deaton that he
would not divulge the con-
tents of his conversations
with Snyder and Alden, citing
confdentiality. However, Link
did acknowledge serving as an
intermediary between his boss
and Snyder, with whom Alden
acknowledged having a close
but tense relationship.
Quin, the team is not look-
ing good, Link told Snyder, ac-
cording to Deatons notes. We
know how the book is going to
end. The question is how do we
write the last chapter.
According to Link and Al-
den, Snyder replied: I think I
am better off resigning. He left
with six regular season games
remaining.
Snyders job security was
in jeopardy as early as Feb. 8,
2005, when Alden said pub-
licly he would retain the coach
through the 2005-06 season. At
the same time, Alden told Sny-
der he needed a winning sea-
son, a fnish in the top half of
the Big 12 Conference and an
NCAA tournament appearance
to avoid losing his job, Deatons
report said.
Alden also suggested then
that Snyder might want to resign
in the middle of this year if he
felt that the season were going
south, Deaton reported.
In return, Quin was told that
we would do the best we could
to see that he would not be hurt
fnancially.
Snyder offcially left Missouri
on Feb. 14 with a seven-year
record of 126-91 that included
NCAA tournament appearances
his frst four years. He received
a $574,000 contract buyout that
was approved by university cu-
rators. His total compensation
package at Missouri, including
incentives, was worth more than
$1 million a season.
The chancellors report de-
scribes a second conversation
between Link and Snyder on
Feb. 9, this time after practice.
Joined by his attorney, Wally
Bley, Snyder said he planned to
resign but had not worked out
the details.
Only then was Alden told of
Snyders intention, Deaton re-
ported. Alden then placed three
calls to Snyder that were not re-
turned.
Alden told Deaton that he
and Snyder spoke periodically
throughout the season.
