    The future of cloning is here, and it ties
    into the production of food.
    A farmer in Wisconsin collects a skin cell
    from his prize cow. He then transplants the
    nucleus from the skin cell to an unfertilized
    egg, which he implants into the uterus of
    a host mother cow. Nine months later, the
    host gives birth to a calf that is genetically
    identical to the original cow. When it grows
    up, it could find itself in the deli of your local
    grocery store.
    After seven years of evaluating the risks
    involved, the Food and Drug Administration
    concluded Jan. 15 that meat and milk from
    clones of animals were as safe to eat as food
    from conventionally bred animals, an FDA
    press release said.
    The FDA doesnt expect a significant
    number of clones to enter the food supply.
    Instead, the sexually reproduced offspring
    from the clones will be the ones used for
    food production.
    Some students, such as Yonatan Gizaw,
    Ethiopia senior, welcome the idea of cloning
    animals for food production.
    I think its a cool scientific development,
    said Gizaw. I wouldnt be opposed to eat-
    ing it.
    Other students, such as Humboldt junior
    Melanie Weilert, are skeptical about the
    FDAs findings.
    I probably wouldnt consume it because
    Id be concerned about the chemicals going
    into my body, Weilert said.
    Erik Lundquist, associate professor of
    developmental neurobiology, said there was
    absolutely nothing to worry about.
    I think a lot of people are apprehensive
    because its a very technical process and
    cloning holds a very powerful connotation,
    but there is absolutely nothing wrong with
    the meat, said Lundquist. Youre not add-
    ing chemicals, altering genes, or adding
    hormones.
    In fact, Lundquist even encourages the
    idea of cloning animals for meat. If a specific
    animal has all the desirable characteristics a
    farmer is looking for, he said that breeding
    the animal the traditional way would only
    give you half the characteristics of the origi-
    nal, while cloning the animal would create a
    genetic copy.
    Jack Dekkers, professor of Animal
    Science at Iowa State University, agrees with
    Lundquist, but he doesnt expect producers
    to begin cloning animals for food produc-
    tion just yet.
    Right now it is not cost effective to
    clone animals specifically for food produc-
    tion, Dekkers said. The technology is still
    in development and I think it will be years
    before it becomes a cost-efficient practice.
    Students such as Ryan Koerner, Andover
    Junior, cant wait for the market to jump on
    the new trend.
    If they find the best tasting cow and clone
    it, then hell, Im all for it, Koerner said.

    Professor researches mountain formations
    BY MARY SORRICK
    msorrick@kansan.com
    While many KU students and facul-
    ty spent their last week of winter break
    shivering through the Kansas cold, Mike
    Taylor, assistant professor of geology, was
    sleeping under the stars in the Andes
    Mountains.
    Taylor, who arrived back at KU on Jan.
    15, was in Mendoza, Argentina, studying
    the mountains of the Andes, and looking
    at deformed rocks and fault lines along the
    ranges eastern edge.
    Sweating out the 100-degree heat of
    the southern hemisphere summer, Taylor
    spent his week in South America trying to
    determine characteristics of the Andes that
    might shed light on the real subject of his
    geologic devotion: Tibet.
    My bread and butter and deep passion
    is Asian tectonics, Taylor said. Its the
    best place in the world to study mountain
    building.
    Mountain building, or the process
    of chunks of the Earths crust ramming
    together to form mountain ranges, has been
    Taylors focus for years. He has studied the
    Himalayas in Tibet to better understand
    not just mountain building, but earth-
    quakes and other earth processes as well.
    Taylor chose to conduct fieldwork in
    Argentina, he said, because the Andes and
    the Himalayas share a considerable link.
    South America is what Tibet looked
    like 50 million years ago, he said. That
    was before India slammed into southern
    Asia and made the Tibetan Plateau.
    Taylor said fertile land similar to the
    one that surrounds Mendoza once thrived
    where Tibets often cold and craggy moun-
    tain plateau now sits.
    That trait has made the Andes a place of
    interest for Taylor.
    Clues in the faults and rock deformation
    of the Andes and Himalayas could also
    help answer fundamental questions about
    the nature of the two ranges, namely the
    slip rate, or rate at which two sides of a
    fault are moving, Taylor said. Finding the
    slip rate would help scientists determine
    how often earthquakes occur along any
    one fault.
    However, Taylor said, the Andes and
    Himalayas are not entirely similar because
    the formation of the mountain ranges
    involved different types of continental
    drift.
    Daniel Stockli, associate professor of
    geology, said the Andes formed as the
    result of an oceanic plate sliding under
    the western edge of South America. The
    Himalayas were formed by the direct colli-
    sion of two continental plates.
    The Andes were like a one-car accident
    as opposed to a two-car accident in the
    Himalayas, Stockli said.
    That head-on collision helped make the
    Himalayas as large and rugged as they are.
    Its a feature that contributes to another of
    Taylors interests in Tibet, which has less
    to do with mountains and more to do with
    who lives among them.
    The distribution of nomads has been
    determined by the spacing of mountain
    ranges, he said. The dialect each group
    speaks evolved independently of other
    groups because theyre separated by moun-
    tains.
    In other words, he said, tectonics are
    controlling the language and lifestyle of
    Tibetan nomads.
    Having spent six trips of 60 to 100 days
    each mapping rocks in Tibet, Taylor has
    developed an appreciation for the people
    who live there.
    You come across people so isolated
    theyve never seen blonde hair or hazel
    eyes, Taylor said. Theyre living the same
    as they did 100 to 200 years ago. Its magi-
    cal.

    odd news
    Man ofers $5, Oxycotin
    in exchange for murder
    INDEPENDENCE, Mo. An man is
    accused of ofering an undercover
    ofcer $5 and 90 pills of the pain-
    killer Oxycotin to kill a woman.
    Thirty-fve-year-old Robert
    Macklin faces one count of frst-
    degree assault or one count of the
    alternative charge of conspiracy
    to commit frst-degree murder.
    He was charged Wednesday in
    Jackson County Circuit Court in
    Independence.
    According to court documents,
    Macklins roommate called police
    after he repeatedly asked her to kill
    the girlfriend of a man with whom
    he once had a relationship. The
    roommate said Macklin wanted
    the girlfriend out of the way so the
    men could be together.
    Macklin was arrested Tuesday
    night after he reportedly gave the
    ofcer $5 as a down payment.

    bite-sized frog in lettuce
    NEW YORK You just dont
    want to eat some greens.
    Thats how a Brooklyn mom
    felt when she found a tiny frog
    comfortably nestled in the leaves
    of organic lettuce she was prepar-
    ing to eat.
    I jumped away, said 39-year-
    old Yvonne Brechbuhler, who
    described the green critter as no
    bigger than the tip of her pinky
    fnger.
    I didnt know what it was. But
    once I realized it was a frog, I was
    OK, she told the Daily News in
    Thursday editions.
    Intrigued, she named the frog
    Curious.
    Brechbuhler, a stage actress,
    said she bought the lettuce at her
    local food co-op and kept it in the
    refrigerator three days before using
    it last week.
    Brechbuhler and her 7-year-old
    daughter, Orla, placed the frog
    in a jar on a bed of lettuce leaves
    and water, and fed it fruit fies
    they collected at a nearby garden.
    Afterward, they decided Curious
    would be happier at an animal
    facility specializing in reptiles and
    amphibians. The facility, Sean
    Casey Animal Rescue, has put it up
    for adoption.
    An employee at the food co-op
    said it was the frst such incident in
    memory.
    Sign makes it clear that
    couple doesnt like FAA
    FOLSOM, Pa. The skies wont
    seem especially friendly to anyone
    taking of from Philadelphia Inter-
    national Airport if they notice what
    a suburban couple wrote on the
    roof of their home.
    (Expletive) U FAA, the message
    reads, though one letter of the pro-
    fane word is substituted with an
    underline. Below that it is a picture
    of a plane with a slash through it
    and the words no fy zone.
    Homeowner Michael Hall and
    his girlfriend, Michaelene Buddy,
    are angry that jets have been
    fying over their house since last
    month, when the Federal Aviation
    Administration altered departure
    headings out of Philadelphia. Hall
    says he has to sleep with earplugs.
    He said he and Buddy also were
    frustrated after being unable to
    leave a message with the FAAs
    noise-complaint hot line because
    the voice mailbox was always full.
    So they issued their complaint in
    roof sealant and 7-foot-tall letters
    about two weeks ago.
    Just doing it made me feel
    better, but Id still like to say what I
    wrote directly to the idiot head of
    the FAA, Hall told the Philadelphia
    Daily News for Thursdays editions.
    FAA spokesman Jim Peters had
    no comment.
    The fight changes are part of
    a massive restructuring of the air-
    space over the congested corridor
    between New York and Philadel-
    phia.

    Bush, Congress approve
    one-time tax rebates
    WASHINGTON With unprec-
    edented speed and cooperation,
    Congress and the White House
    forged a deal Thursday to begin
    rushing tax rebates of $600
    to $1,200 to most tax flers by
    spring, hoping they will spend
    the money just as quickly and jolt
    the ailing economy to life.
    The one-time tax rebates
    are at the center of a hard-won
    agreement to pump about $150
    billion into the economy this year
    and perhaps stave of the frst
    recession since 2001.
    About two-thirds of the tax
    relief would go out in rebate
    checks to 117 million families
    beginning in May. Businesses
    would get $50 billion in incen-
    tives to invest in new plants and
    equipment.
    Individual taxpayers would
    get as much as $600 in rebates,
    working couples $1,200 and
    those with children an addi-
    tional $300 per child under the
    agreement. In a key concession
    to Democrats, 35 million families
    who make at least $3,000 but
    dont pay taxes would get $300
    rebates.
    The rebates would phase
    out gradually for individuals
    whose adjusted gross income
    exceeds $75,000 and for couples
    with incomes above $150,000.
    Contributions to IRA and 401(k)
    retirement accounts and health
    savings accounts would not
    count toward the income limit.
    This package will lead to
    higher consumer spending and
    increased business investment,
    Bush said in hailing the agree-
    ment.
    The bill will go straight to the
    House foor next week and on
    to the Senate, where Democrats
    hope to extend unemployment
    benefts for workers whose ben-
    efts have run out.

    KU institute receives grant
    BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
    fchambers@kansan.com
    Bill Lacy feels sorry, not for himself,
    but for the nation.
    The former Thompson for
    President campaign manag-
    er has no regrets about how
    he ran Fred Thompsons
    campaign. In fact, he thinks
    he ran a very strong cam-
    paign. Thompsons loss was
    simply a case of right person,
    wrong time.
    His platform received
    widespread acclaim from
    conservative publications,
    Lacy said. His polices were absolutely
    on the mark. It was more a function
    of not having enough time to do the
    job.
    Lacy reiterated the fact that most
    campaigns, even statewide races,
    require a minimum of a year to put
    together. It was not Lacys decision to
    end Thompsons campaign. Lacy said
    Thompson made that decision, but
    that he thought that the correct deci-
    sion was made. They felt Thompson
    needed a strong second place finish
    to continue in the race. Lacy said he
    will return to his job as director of the
    Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics in
    mid-March.
    When Lacy returns, Jonathon Earle,
    interim director of the Dole Institute,
    will resume his role as associate direc-
    tor for programming at the institute.
    Earle said he had hoped Thompson
    would be in the race longer, but that
    he was satisfied with returning to his
    former position.
    Programming is where his heart
    is and as director, his time has been
    consumed with fundraising and main-
    tenance of the building, among other
    tedious tasks.
    With programming, its more
    about putting on fun shows that I want
    to go to, Earle said. A lot of people
    know the Institute for its program-
    ming, so it will just be like comfortable
    old loafers.
    Earle is excited about deciding how
    to spend the $500,000 former Senator
    Bob Dole recently donated to the Dole
    Institutes programming. Earle said
    Dole did not restrict the money to
    any one program, but that he planned
    on asking Dole his opinion on how to
    use the money. Earle hopes to use the
    money to bring in an international
    speaker.
    Monica Crane, Wichita senior and
    a member of the student
    advisory board at the Dole
    Institute, said she thought
    Thompson ran a good race,
    but it did not surprise her
    when he dropped out. She
    is excited to have Lacy back
    at the University because his
    experience with Thompsons
    campaign will be a valuable
    asset to the Dole Institute.
    Were so proud he went out there
    and did it, Crane said. Its really
    inspiring to see someone whos done it
    all his life and is still doing it.
    Lacy and his wife will vacation in
    California for about a month before
    returning to Lawrence. Lacy said he
    looks forward to riding his bike while
    on vacation, something he has not
    done since Thanksgiving. He usually
    rides his bike 150 miles a week during
    the spring, summer and fall. Lacy said
    he is going to California so he can ride
    his bike in warm weather and recuper-
    ate from the campaign.
    Im exhausted, Lacy said. You
    cant do that to yourself forever, espe-
    cially at my age.
    As for Thompson, Lacy said he
    would start looking into his other
    options, but that Thompson currently
    has no other political aspirations.
    I dont expect hell seek office
    again unless someone wants him to
    be their vice president nominee, Lacy
    said. I dont think its likely, but its a
    possibility.

    City votes to purchase Tasers
    BY ANDY GREENHAW
    agreenhaw.kansan.com
    Lawrence city commission-
    ers voted unanimously Tuesday
    to allow the Lawrence Police
    Department to buy 10 Tasers.
    Police Chief W. Ronald Olin
    said the Tasers would only be used
    by police for self-defense.
    The purpose for these Tasers
    is to stop an attack, Olin said.
    Were very conservative with our
    baton and I can promise you it
    will be no different with these new
    Tasers.
    Olin said there will be three
    officers armed with Tasers on
    patrol at all times, but not until
    the officers have received Taser
    training, which shouldnt be for
    several weeks. No officer will
    be authorized to handle a Taser
    before receiving proper training,
    which includes taking a Taser hit
    themselves, he said.
    Captain Steve Zarnowiec said
    the Tasers also record the date,
    time and officer on duty whenever
    one is deployed.
    These Tasers can be traced
    back to each and every time
    theyre used, he said. The record
    cant be tampered with by officers
    in the field.
    David Strano, member of East
    Lawrence Neighborhood Safety
    Network, was the only person at
    the meeting to speak out against
    the proposal.
    Who determines when a
    reasonable time is to use these
    things? Strano asked. I really
    think the homeless population
    will be targeted with these Tasers
    and there will be no group to rein-
    force regulations.
    Stranos comments sparked
    debate among commissioners over
    the need for a citizen review board
    to provide police oversight.
    Mike McAtee, chairman of
    the Lawrence Police Officers
    Association, said he thought a new
    oversight board was unnecessary.
    We have plenty of oversight
    and overview, McAtee said. I
    think we have a citizen review
    board and its sitting right here.
    All five commissioners agreed
    that transparency was an impor-
    tant issue, but only two supported
    the idea of creating a new review
    board that would concentrate spe-
    cifically on Taser use by police offi-
    cers. Commissioners Mike Amyk,
    Sue Hack and Michael Dever
    recommended simply expanding
    the responsibilities of the existing
    board. No official decision was
    reached on the issue.
    The use of Tasers has become a
    controversial issue in the United
    States since an incident in 2007 at
    the University of Florida in which
    a student was Tasered for heckling
    John Kerry at a public forum.
    City commissioners will con-
    vene again in six months to listen
    to the departments evaluation on
    the success of the new technol-
    ogy.

    Many University of Kansas
    sports records were broken in fall
    2007. But the latest were broken
    off the field.
    According to a press release
    from the Athletics Department, a
    record 48 student-athletes earned
    a 4.0 grade point average. The
    Jayhawks also set the record for
    highest average GPA in a fall
    semester with a 2.93 GPA. In fall
    2006, Jayhawk student-athletes
    averaged a 2.88 GPA.
    Roughly 229, half of student-
    athletes earned the minimum 3.0
    GPA required to be on the athletic
    directors honor roll this past fall.
    Thirty-two Jayhawk ath-
    letes made their respective All-
    Academic Big 12 teams in the
    fall, including 14 football players,
    seven soccer players, seven wom-
    ens cross country runners, six vol-
    leyball players and five mens cross
    country runners.
    Kansas associate athletics
    director Jim Marchiony passed
    some of the credit for the grades
    to teachers and athletics depart-
    ment staff.
    We have a faculty willing to
    work with us and help us when
    athletes have to travel. Theyre very
    understanding, Marchiony said.
    And our academic support staff
    in athletics is a tremendous, hard-
    working staff.
    The wom-
    ens golf team
    boasted the
    highest average
    GPA for a team
    with 3.37. The
    womens bas-
    ketball team
    set a record for
    its sport with
    a 3.11 GPA.
    Football had
    the lowest GPA at 2.39, falling
    from a team-high 2.69 in spring
    2007.
    Women fared better in the
    classroom last semester. Ten of
    Kansas 11 womens athletic teams
    averaged better than a 3.0 GPA,
    while none of the six mens teams
    reached that mark.
    Marchiony said that academics
    were a high priority in his depart-
    ment, but that no teams earning
    lower grades received less or more
    attention than others.
    The spirit
    squad added
    another 35
    scholars to the
    athletic direc-
    tors honor roll,
    two of whom
    earned 4.0
    GPAs.
    Ma r c hi ony
    said that stu-
    dent -at hl et es
    GPAs at the
    University have raised little by lit-
    tle in the past few years. In spring
    2007, a record 61 percent of stu-
    dent-athletes earned a 3.0 GPA or
    better.

    how Tasers work
    Deployment: Gas
    propelled hooks lodge
    themselves into the skin
    and initiate several electric
    shocks, which override an
    individuals coordinated
    neuromuscular control.
    range: The range of the
    devices proposed by the
    department reach up to 15,
    21 or 35 feet, depending
    on the cartridge used.
    Benefts: The benefts of
    allowing the use of tasers
    include avoiding the use
    of lethal force, reducing
    suspect injury and decreas-
    ing police ofcer injuries in
    hostile situations.
    risks: The criticisms of
    taser use include injury
    as a result of falling, hook
    penetration to sensitive
    areas and contact burns
    from drive stuns.

    Mexicos tropical cloud forests are
    known for their diverse plant and
    animal species.
    But, as with many complex eco-
    systems, environmental change has
    threatened the survival of those life
    forms and their habitats.
    Because of this, researchers at the
    University of Kansass Biodiversity
    Institute have taken innovative steps
    toward conserving Mexicos species-
    rich cloud forests with the help of
    an $850,000 research grant from
    Microsoft Research.
    Jorge Soberon, senior scientist at
    the Biodiversity Institute, has led the
    team of scientists working to protect
    the fragile tropical forests, which
    grow on the slopes of mountains and
    often are steeped in low cloud cover.
    Cloud forests are amazing plac-
    es, Soberon said. Many of the spe-
    cies there are endangered. If the
    forest disappears, they will disappear
    as well.
    Soberon and Townsend Peterson,
    curator of the Biodiversity Institute,
    have been compiling data such as spe-
    cies distribution and climate patterns
    in the cloud forests. They will use the
    money from the Microsoft Research
    grant, the first corporate grant ever
    awarded to the Biodiversity Institute,
    to forecast the future of the cloud
    forests unique life forms in the wake
    of global warming.
    The forests are normally bathed
    in moisture because of the clouds,
    he said. But there is some indica-
    tion that the cloud layer is becoming
    unlinked from the forest because of
    increased temperatures.
    Environmental change is one
    focus of the project, which is com-
    prised of three parts. First, Soberon
    said, the researchers want to develop
    a conservation strategy to help pro-
    tect species living in the cloud forest.
    They will also use the grant money
    to create a computer program, that
    can analyze the environmental data
    at the push of a button. The third
    part of the project, Soberon said,
    will involve hiring programmers to
    develop a virtual world that will pre-
    dict the future of the forests.
    Once developed, the virtual world
    will be reprogrammable to fit the
    needs of other scientists, Soberon
    said. It could even be used to predict
    the spread of disease, he said.
    Despite the projects benefits,
    Microsofts involvement has raised a
    few eyebrows.
    Some people are wondering if
    we are selling our souls to the dark
    side, Soberon said. But theyre con-
    cerned, like everybody is, about the
    future of the worlds ecosystems.
    Leonard Krishtalka, director of
    the Natural History Museum and
    Biodiversity Research Center, said
    corporate funding would benefit KU
    researchers.
    Corporations often get slammed
    for not being environmentally con-
    scious, Krishtalka said. But this is
    a win-win because it allows scien-
    tists and students to receive more
    funding and allows corporations to
    contribute to research.
    Peterson said the research team
    would continue gathering data for
    a year before computer modeling
    would begin.
    Until then, he said, the cloud for-
    ests will be protected almost solely
    by Mexicos system of natural land
    reserves.

    David Ambler hates walking on
    treadmills. He also hates imposing
    gymnasium walls. And most of all,
    he hates how the walls stare at him as
    he fights that mindless machine.
    Ambler would rather exercise
    outdoors, where he can walk away
    from the problems of his life. Its a
    place where his mind is clear. So,
    when Chancellor Robert Hemenway
    told Ambler at a holiday recep-
    tion in December that the Student
    Recreation Fitness Center would be
    named in his honor, Ambler was
    shocked.
    I was speechless, Ambler said.
    Frankly, I said to someone later, I
    almost fell in the punch bowl!
    Although Ambler is not person-
    ally fond of exercising indoors, when
    he was vice chancellor for student
    affairs, Ambler was committed to
    providing a building for students to
    exercise in.
    I think a recreation center can
    really impact the climate of a cam-
    pus, Ambler said. You give stu-
    dents alternatives to going down-
    town and drinking. Our University
    needs to help students develop good
    lifestyles.
    The idea of building a center at the
    University that would be used only
    for recreation was first discussed at
    a University Governance meeting in
    1995. Because Robinson Center is
    also used for academics, it can only
    be used for recreation between 5:30
    p.m. and midnight. The University
    wanted to provide students with a
    place where they could exercise dur-
    ing the day as well.
    In 1996 the University presented
    a referendum to students that used
    student fees to build a recreation
    center.
    The proposed center would have
    been located near 23rd Street on
    West Campus, where the soccer
    fields are located. When the refer-
    endum failed because of its inconve-
    nient location, Mary Chappell, for-
    mer director of recreational services
    and current director of the recre-
    ation center, said Ambler didnt give
    up on the centers creation.
    I remember when he called me
    to tell me that it failed, Chappell
    said. He just said, The suns going
    to shine tomorrow. He always had a
    plan to move forward.
    The sun Ambler spoke of came
    in the form of Kevin Yoder, who
    was elected Student Senate president
    in 1998. Ambler said that the day
    after Yoder was elected, he came
    to Ambler and told him he would
    make sure there were concrete plans
    to build a student recreation center
    before he left office.
    I tried to slow Kevin down a bit,
    Ambler said, I was worried about
    trying to pass it so soon after the first
    vote, but he was very single-minded.
    To his credit, the proposal passed.
    Ambler said Yoders proposal
    passed because it called for the cre-
    ation of a smaller recreation center
    but left room for future expansion.
    Ambler also said Yoder designed
    the student recreation fee so that
    future students, the students who
    used the center, paid for it.
    When the creation of the recre-
    ation center finally became a reality,
    Ambler chaired the planning com-
    mittee. Construction began in 2000
    and was completed in 2003. Ambler
    retired in the spring of 2003 only
    a few months before the recreation
    center opened.
    Chappell said plans were in the
    works to name the recreation center
    after Ambler since 2002. She said she
    and other student leaders thought it
    was only fitting to name the center
    after the man who made its creation
    a reality.
    Chappell said she hoped to have
    the center named after Ambler when
    it opened, but when she first present-
    ed the idea to the Board of Regents,
    it was rejected.
    She said she was told a building
    could only be named after a faculty
    member after they were retired for
    at least five years. This spring, after
    the expansion of the recreation cen-
    ter is completed, Ambler will reach
    this mark.
    Ambler said it was still hard for
    him to accept that the recreation
    center will be named after him. He
    said the center should be named
    after Kevin Yoder because Yoder
    convinced students to approve the
    proposal.
    Yoder, who is now a state repre-
    sentative, said it should instead be
    named after his mentor, Ambler. He
    said the recreation center is sym-
    bolic of Amblers achievements at
    the University.
    I think David Ambler was the
    inspiration for this idea and 100
    other ideas at KU, Yoder said. His
    legacy of leadership facilitated the
    actions of students like myself in
    academic projects like the recreation
    center.
    The recreation centers name will
    be changed to the David A. Ambler
    Student Recreation Fitness Center
    when the expansion is finished. The
    construction is expected to be fin-
    ished this summer.

    Four months of planning and
    rehearsals culminated Thursday
    night when KU Operas presenta-
    tion of La Traviata opened at the
    Robert Baustian Theatre in Murphy
    Hall.
    The opera, which is an adapta-
    tion of Alexander Dumas novel and
    stage play Camille, is a love story
    centered around a young Parisian
    woman named Violetta. Andrea
    Garritano, New York City graduate
    student and one of two sopranos
    who plays Violetta on alternating
    nights, said the tragic story was
    one even modern audiences found
    emotionally powerful.
    Its an extremely heart wrench-
    ing story, but its based on some-
    thing that everyone on Earth can
    relate to relationships, love, life
    and death, Garritano said.
    Charles Martinez, a Wichita
    graduate student and tenor who
    plays Violettas lover, Alfredo, said
    the entire cast
    had been look-
    ing forward to
    the opportunity
    to put their hard
    work on display
    since audi-
    tions began in
    September.
    Its really
    easy in rehears-
    als and when
    you are doing
    stuff over and
    over again for the energy to kind of
    fall, Martinez said. But once you
    put the audience there, it brings a
    whole new energy into the atmo-
    sphere.
    Tim Ocel, associate professor of
    opera and the shows director, said
    the performance was designed to
    be as professional as possible. Ocel
    is a professional opera director, cos-
    tumes were rented from an opera
    costume house in Baltimore and
    sets were produced professionally
    as well.
    We prep them as if this were
    a professional performance, Ocel
    said. I ask them to act, to be and
    commit to scene work the way I
    would ask professional opera sing-
    ers to do that.
    La Traviata
    was among the
    top 10 most
    frequently per-
    formed operas
    in North
    America in
    2007 accord-
    ing to Opera
    A m e r i c a .
    Garritano said
    it was rare for
    students to have
    the opportunity to participate in a
    professional-style performance that
    was as complex and well respected
    as La Traviata.
    This particular opera, the role
    I have is kind of known as one of
    the warhorse roles for a soprano to
    be singing, she said. Its really an
    amazing opportunity for me to sing
    it, to learn it, to rehearse it and to
    perform it.
    The production is performed
    entirely in Italian with subtitles
    projected in English to allow the
    audience to follow the plot.
    In addition to a dedicated group
    of Lawrence opera aficionados, Ocel
    said faculty and students helped
    provide the overwhelming support
    the program has enjoyed.
    There are a lot of opera devo-
    tees out there who are kind of rabid
    about opera, he said.
    Although opera isnt consid-
    ered a traditional college activ-
    ity, Garritano said many first-time
    opera-goers enjoyed the experi-
    ence far more than they antici-
    pated because it unified theater and
    music.
    Its not a typical thing, she said.
    If anybody is looking for a new
    experience or trying something
    that theyve never done before, this
    presents a great opportunity.
    In addition to Thursdays open-
    ing performance, KU Opera also
    will present La Traviata on Jan.
    26, 29 and 31 and on Feb. 2 in
    Murphy Hall. Tickets cost $7 for
    students and $15 for adults and are
    available at the Lied Center and
    Murphy Hall box offices.

    Winehouse back in rehab
    By DAVID STRINGER
    ASSocIATED PRESS
    LONDON More rehab for
    Amy Winehouse? Yes, yes, yes.
    The jazz-pop diva best known
    for refusing to enter drug rehab in
    her hit song entered a treatment
    facility Thursday. The announce-
    ment came just days after the 24-
    year-old was pictured in British
    tabloid The Sun inhaling fumes
    from a small pipe. Police are inves-
    tigating.
    Amy decided to enter the facil-
    ity today after talks with her record
    label, management, family and
    doctors, Universal Music Group
    said in a statement. The statement
    also indicated Winehouse still
    planned to attend and perform at
    the Grammys, to be held Feb. 10 in
    Los Angeles.
    She has come to understand
    that she requires specialist treat-
    ment to continue her ongoing
    recovery from drug addiction, the
    statement said.
    Winehouse, who is nominated
    for six Grammy Awards for her
    acclaimed Back to Black album,
    seems to be as famous for her drug
    problems as for her music. Since
    the albums U.S. release last year,
    she has canceled a slew of appear-
    ances amid reports of drug use.
    In the albums most popular
    song, Rehab, she references her
    struggles, singing: They tried to
    make me go to rehab/ I said no,
    no, no.
    Universal said it hoped
    Winehouse would come back to
    full health and fulfill her incredible

    Josh Anderson
    Age-old story needs new ending
    commentary
    Dirty election issue in need of serious laundering
    nick MAngiArAcinA
    Tyler Doehring
    There exists in America today
    on college campuses, in politics
    and in the media a silence where
    there should be a voice, indeed
    a multitude of voices, speaking
    out against the occupation of
    Palestine.
    Those few who have been brave
    enough to speak out have faced
    persecution in the form of accu-
    sations of racism, censoring and
    discrimination. These include
    notable scholars such as Norman
    Finkelstein and Mehrene Larudee,
    formerly of DePaul University, and
    respected public figures such as
    Archbishop Desmond Tutu and
    former President Jimmy Carter, to
    name a few.
    Of course this persecution pales
    in comparison with the oppres-
    sion experienced by millions of
    Palestinians in the West Bank and
    Gaza who experience it daily in
    the form of restrictions on basic
    materials, fuel, electricity, trade
    and movement as well as terrorism
    from daily military incursions by
    the Israeli Defense Forces.
    That includes intimidation of
    the population, extra-judicial
    as well as sanctioned assas-
    sinations, and the illegal abduction
    and imprisonment of thousands of
    Palestinians without fair trial in
    prisons with well known histories
    of torture.
    For those lucky enough to live in
    the shadow of one of the hundreds
    of illegal Israeli settlements that dot
    the hilltops of the West Bank, this
    often includes harassment, vandal-
    ism and abuse from extremist set-
    tlers, who are known to poison the
    pastures of Palestinian shepherds
    and urinate in their dwindling
    water supplies a scenario that
    often occurs under the watchful
    gaze of the IDF, who do little-if
    anything to ensure their safety.
    The relevance of the conflict
    for us as Americans is simple: we
    are funding it. The occupation
    simply could not exist without the
    American taxpayer.
    Israel receives more money than
    the Caribbean, Latin America and
    Sub-Saharan Africa combined. By
    some estimates the U.S. sends $22
    million to Israel a day. Pinch this
    pipelineeven for a momentand
    the entire occupation would grind
    to a halt.
    Lake City Army Ammunitions
    Plant in Independence, Missouri,
    the largest small-arms plant in the
    world, manufactures 80 percent of
    all the small arms bullets in the
    United States.
    If millions of dollars are given to
    Israel on the agreement that they
    be used to buy back arms from the
    United States, how many of those
    bullets are used to cleanse Palestine
    of its indigenous population?
    Detractors are quick to point
    to a peace process currently in
    the works, and Ill admit, there is
    something occurring between the
    somewhat legitimate political enti-
    ties of George Bush, Ehud Olmert
    and Mahmoud Abbas, but its not a
    peace process.
    Historically, these dialogues
    have amounted to one thing: a
    stalling tactic wherein Israel can
    prove that peace is being worked
    toward, while the situation remains
    unchanged.
    Israel continues to expand set-
    tlements and intimidate and ter-
    rorize the population, slowly milk-
    ing the land of its inhabitants and
    the will of said inhabitants to con-
    tinue living on their own land. It
    is the age-old story of colonization,
    an elaborate but blatant land-grab,
    complete with broken treaties and
    ethnic cleansing, of which history
    provides us with multiple exam-
    ples.
    The question is: what example
    will Israel/Palestine ultimately fol-
    low?
    In 2008, the 60th anniversary
    of the Nakba, or catastrophe, lets
    vow to open our eyes and learn for
    ourselves the brutal reality of the
    occupation of Palestine. Then, lets
    open our mouths and speak out
    for those whose voices are stifled,
    whose death sen-tence we write if
    we continue to refuse to do so.
    Anderson is a Perry senior in
    creative writing.
    With a mere nine-and-a-half
    months remaining, the 2008 presi-
    dential election is heating up. In
    the past few chilly months, candi-
    dates have focused their campaigns
    to let the American people know
    where they stand.
    For instance, Hillary Clintons
    epic health care plan now vows to
    cover all Americans, while Mike
    Huckabee is committed to improv-
    ing marriage by reducing the num-
    ber of divorces.
    Likewise, both Republican and
    Democratic candidates have not
    shied from controversial issues.
    Each party has dealt with impor-
    tant questions like: Was the fos-
    sil record faked? Will teenagers
    survive in the global economy as
    Mexican immigrants take their
    abhorred low-paying jobs with no
    benefits?
    Also, should the government be
    abolished because of bureaucratic
    red tape? Or, is the annihilation
    of the human race in a few gen-
    erations because of climate change
    something to be concerned about
    right now?
    However, these are only a few
    of the compelling issues unfolding
    on the rocky road to November
    2008. Before then, a more impor-
    tant issue must be dealt with, for
    if it is neglected it only shows that
    Americans dont care about the
    most important issues facing this
    country.
    This ultra-important issue is
    that of the desegregation of laun-
    dry.
    For decades, white and colored
    articles of
    clothing have
    remained sep-
    arate in the
    name of com-
    bating lint.
    Socks and
    shirts alike
    have been
    d e s i g n a t e d
    for separate
    piles for sepa-
    rate loads. Its
    time now for
    this apartheid
    system to end.
    What kind of
    message does this send to our chil-
    dren?
    I envision a better day for laun-
    dry across Americaand a better
    day for businessmen and soccer
    moms alike.
    The governments complicity in
    allowing this policy to continue
    only reinforces
    how broken the
    system is. Top
    economists are
    predicting an eco-
    nomic slowdown,
    but we can prove
    them wrong.
    More l int
    means more lint
    rollers, and with
    more lint rollers
    come more jobs.
    I dream of an
    America where
    teenagers can
    serve their coun-
    try proud in the manufacture of
    such rollers. We can only rely on
    the Chinese for so much.
    If the economy slows down, jobs
    will be lost. You will no longer be
    able to work hard to put food on
    your family, in the words of our
    great president.
    I urge all of you now to peti-
    tion Congress for the abolition of
    laundry segregation. In fact, to
    show your seriousness, I urge all
    of you to send two petitions in
    case Congress ignores the first or
    uses it as a napkin. They cant
    keep wiping their mouths with our
    democracy.
    We must stand up against the
    tyrannical idea that says blouses
    and socks and jeans and t-shirts
    must be washed separately.
    Oh, and dont let them laugh
    you off. Remember, the most
    important issues are the ones that
    seem the most ridiculous ones at
    first.

    Free For All, please dont.
    n n n
    though i hate to see all the
    chatter about ron Paul being a
    Gravel supporter, at least these
    kids believe in the democratic
    notion again, and if ron Paul is
    responsible, maybe hes worth
    looking at.

    everyone at ku needs to
    research the Council on Foreign
    relations.
    n n n
    do you guys seriously think
    the democrats will change any-
    thing? they havent, have they?
    n n n
    ill bet nobody heard about
    all of the ku students that went
    to iowa to volunteer for ron
    Paul. there were even people
    that drove from there to south
    Carolina for another week!

    Palestine in need of student voices to bring attention to countrys occupation
    the good and bad of historical occupations
    By Ashley BArforoush
    abarforoush@kansan.com
    Editors Note: Kansan Corre-
    spondent Ashley Barforoush at-
    tended the March for Life with St.
    Lawrence Catholic Church. This
    is her account of the event.
    What page did we make, Father?
    St. Louis junior Andrew Schaeperkoetter
    asked.
    It was the day after the march. Eighty
    students, three priests and three sisters
    from the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus
    Center, 1631 Crescent Road, were pre-
    paring for the 22-hour bus ride home
    from Washington, D.C.: exhausted, cold
    and fulfilled.
    Page three, the Rev. Mitchel
    Zimmerman replied. Not bad for the
    USA Today.
    Rachel Schieber, Kansas City, Mo.,
    junior, read aloud from the article: This
    year marks the 35th anniversary of the
    ruling that created a right to abortion.
    Schieber abruptly looked up. Nice try,
    she said, but abortion is not a right.
    On Jan. 22, tens of thousands of peo-
    ple showed they agreed by participating
    in March for Life, an anti-abortion pro-
    test. The U.S. Supreme Courts decision
    to legalize abortion in the 1973 Roe v.
    Wade case sparked the annual protest,
    which its supporters vowed to not end
    until abortion did.
    During this years protest, men held
    signs that read, I regret lost fatherhood,
    and marched next to women with signs
    that read, I regret my abortion. They
    marched aside families and the elder-
    ly, who marched next to Schieber. She
    marched for her four soon to be five
    siblings who waited for her at home.
    I think people just need to educate
    themselves, Schieber said. Life really
    does start at conception. Science proves
    it.
    The rally before the march proved
    that many politicians were on their side
    President Bush and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul
    included. Students listened and cheered
    through two hours of speeches, huddled
    together for warmth. When U.S. Sen.
    Sam Brownback was introduced, the
    front rows of protesters exploded into
    applause. University of Kansas students
    made certain their state wasnt forgotten.
    Remember our enemy isnt the
    abortion doctors. Our enemy is death,
    despair and fear, Brownback said. If
    you save one life, you save the world.
    With Brownbacks words settling at
    the back of Amy Haeussers mind, the
    march began.
    Some people are all talk, said
    Haeusser, an Overland Park sophomore.
    I think its important to back up talk
    with actions.
    Talking was scarce at the protest,
    except for the occasional chant.
    What do we want?
    Babies!
    How do we want them?
    Alive!
    The protest was peaceful. A whis-
    per of the Hail Mary prayer constantly
    drifted through the rows of people, as far
    as the eye could see. Screaming was not
    necessary the protest signs said it all.
    Jaclyn McAnarney, Wichita sophomore,
    was raised anti-abortion and held a sign
    attesting to that fact.
    I had a chance at life, McAnarney
    said, so I feel an obligation to stand up
    for those who didnt.
    She almost didnt participate in the
    march, thinking that one person couldnt
    change the law.
    But if everyone said that, then no
    one would march, McAnarney said.
    Philip Jennings, Overland Park soph-
    omore, went on the march for similar
    reasons. The only thing that made him
    different from McAnarney was belief in
    the Catholic faith.
    The closest I come to calling myself
    anything is agnostic. While I do believe
    there is a God, I havent gotten much fur-
    ther than that, Jennings said. You dont
    have to be religious to be pro-life. I dont
    see how a person can accept science and
    believe in life, yet still support abortion
    with a clear mind.
    They marched for hours past D.C.s
    buildings filled with glaring business-
    men. However, most would agree the
    most difficult part still awaited them.
    Its hard to express yourself on cam-
    pus because others often dont feel the
    same, Haeusser said. Going on the
    march proves that were not standing
    alone.

    types of legal abortions
    1. drug-induced expulsion of a fetus (before 9 weeks)
    2. Suction of tissue where scraping/vacuum pressure on the placenta
    allows for suction removal of the fetus (9-14 weeks)
    3. dilation and evacuation abortion (after 14 weeks)
    a. Body parts of fetus are randomly grasped using a toothed clamp.
    b. Body parts are pulled from the fetal body and out through the
    vaginal canal.
    c. Leftover parts are grabbed and pulled out.
    d. fetal head is crushed in order to pull it out the vaginal canal.
    e. Leftovers are suctioned from the uterus.
    abortion clinics will complete the procedure on women who are as
    many as 24 weeks pregnant. a doctors permission is needed after the
    25th week.

    During his high school days in Bloomington,
    Minn., Cole Aldrich would often curl up on
    the couch of his home and watch Big Monday
    basketball games on ESPN.
    Oklahomas Longar Longar often caught his
    attention on the TV. The Sooners lanky center
    was a Minnesota native as well, and Aldrich
    thought it was big time that Longar played
    for OU.
    So when Aldrich banged around with
    Longar and even blocked one of his shots last
    week on the same telecast he enjoyed watch-
    ing as a high school kid, you can bet he was
    excited.
    I thought it was a thing where I could prove
    to myself I could hang with the big boys in the
    conference, he said. With Longar Longar
    being one of the best big men in the conference
    and even the country, I had some pretty good
    moves against him and even got a piece of his
    shot, too.
    Aldrich, a freshman center and McDonalds
    All-American, hasnt hit the big time just yet,
    but hes getting closer. Hes averaging 3.2 points
    and 3.4 rebounds in about nine minutes a
    game and continues to come off the bench,
    even as the games and opposing forwards get
    tougher in conference play.
    The Oklahoma game must have given him
    some extra confidence, because he came out
    against Missouri last Saturday and made a dif-
    ference. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur
    picked up two early fouls, and senior center
    Sasha Kaun wasnt performing at his highest
    level. The frontcourt needed a lift.
    Aldrich came in and grabbed four rebounds
    and scored two points. OK, two might not be
    a great accomplishment, but he made sure
    the Tigers would remember his one basket.
    Aldrich broke free from DeMarre Carroll, one
    of the conferences best big men, and threw
    down a lob for an alley-oop.
    It was exciting, Aldrich said.
    The only surprise about Aldrichs stat line
    from the Missouri game was that he didnt
    get a block. He rejected two shots Wednesday
    against Iowa State, giving him 21 on the sea-
    son.
    Aldrich has loved getting blocks since his
    high school days, when he averaged about four
    a game. He says blocks tickle his fancy.
    I always kind of joke around in practice
    when I block somebody, Aldrich said. Im like
    you got Spalding written on your forehead.
    Arthur often finds it difficult to go against
    Aldrich in practice for that very reason. He
    knows every time he goes up against the fresh-
    man he could become his next shot-block
    victim.
    Its hard to score on him with his long
    arms, Arthur said. Its pretty tough.
    Arthur, Kaun and senior forward Darnell
    Jackson are the main reasons Aldrich has
    been getting limited minutes this season. At
    most schools, a McDonalds All-American like
    Aldrich would be playing at least 20 minutes
    a night his freshman year. That cant happen
    at Kansas.
    Arthur and Jackson are the teams top scor-
    ers. Kaun is playing better basketball since
    moving to the bench. The only way Aldrich
    can get in is when they need a breather or one
    of them gets into foul trouble.
    Its big for us to get guys minutes, Self
    said about Aldrich, but thats not our focus
    going in. If you have Darnell, Shady and Sasha,
    people are telling me, youre only playing those
    guys 24 minutes a game? Those guys deserve
    to play more to be real honest with you.
    Next year, though, Aldrich might have to be
    the man. Kaun will be gone. So will Jackson.
    Arthur, who is projected as a late lottery pick,
    could leave early for the NBA Draft.
    Aldrich said hed be ready to take on an
    increased role next season, but for now, hes
    enjoying getting the most out of his spot min-
    utes and practicing with some of the best post
    players in the country.
    Most guys who come in freshman year
    want to get X amount of minutes and score this
    many points and this many rebounds and all
    that, Aldrich said. But for me, its a learning
    experience. I think its going to workout for the
    best of me. Going against Darnell and Shady
    and Sasha is really making me better.

    to take on a&m
    PAGE 7B
    In the first four seconds of Kansas
    home conference opener against
    Oklahoma, senior forward Darnell Jackson
    came up big, making a dunk off the open-
    ing tip. In just the opening seconds of the
    game, Jackson made the same statement
    he had been making all year on the bas-
    ketball court: he is Kansas most valuable
    player.
    Kansas players certainly let Jackson
    himself know how they felt about the
    dunk shot. Brandon (Rush), Mario
    (Chalmers) and Russell (Robinson) told
    me that the dunk is what set the tone for
    the game, Jackson said after the game. I
    was just trying to make sure that I hustled
    the ball down and then next thing I know,
    I was looking for a dunk.
    Once again, in Kansas road game
    against Missouri, Jackson made a key
    lay-up while being fouled by sophomore
    guard Keon Lawrence. Jackson went to
    the free-throw line and sank his bonus
    shot, giving the Jayhawks a 56-49 lead,
    their largest of the game at that point, with
    12:31 remaining in the second half.
    On Wednesday night against Iowa State,
    Jackson had his first double-double of the
    season, scoring 21 points and getting 11
    rebounds. Before Wednesday nights game
    against Iowa State, Jackson had scored
    more than 20 points in three other games.
    Before conference play began on Dec.
    31, Bill Self said on his Hawk Talk radio
    show that Jackson was Kansas most
    improved player. Now, four games into
    conference play, Jackson is averaging 12.8
    points and 7.3 rebounds per game. For a
    player who averaged 5.5 points and 5.1
    rebounds per game, Jackson clearly has
    more than improved and has been a vital
    part of Kansas frontcourt.
    After Julian Wrights early departure
    for the NBA last season, it was unclear
    who would fill in for the vacant spot at
    forward. Wright, who averaged 12 points
    per game and 7.8 rebounds, was a key
    part of last years success in reaching the
    Elite Eight. Sophomore Darrell Arthur has
    done a great job at forward, averaging 13.4
    points and 5.7 rebounds per game, but it
    is Jackson who is Kansas most complete
    player.
    Whether Jackson is making a jump
    shot, a lay-up in the paint or a mid-range
    jump shot, the 6-foot-8 forward is very
    consistent, which is reflected by his .682
    field-goal percentage. For Jackson how-
    ever, it is not about statistics.
    I dont care about any of the points. If
    we win, then I am glad, Jackson said after
    scoring 21 points in the first game of the
    season against Louisiana-Monroe. If I
    would have had two points, I would have
    been happy with that as long as we win.
    Jackson started the season as Kansas
    sixth man off the bench, now he is play-
    ing to the level of an all-conference player.
    To Jackson, his improvement and role in
    becoming a key player on this seasons
    Jayhawk team have all come as a surprise.
    It hasnt really sunk in yet. I always
    talk to my mom and I ask her `Can you
    believe it? and shell always say, `No, I
    cant believe it, said Jackson after the
    Iowa State game. This is just out of the
    blue, I dont know why its happening. Im
    just trying to go out there and help my
    team.
    With Kansas ranked No. 2 in the AP
    poll and 19-0, 4-0 in conference play,
    Jackson will be a key part in Kansas con-
    tinued success in its quest for its fourth
    straight Big 12 title. Given Jacksons stellar
    play and size, he might just find himself
    drafted by the NBA after the season,
    somewhere during the second round, if
    projections are correct. One thing is cer-
    tain though: Jackson is Kansas most valu-
    able player right now.

    The KU club hockey team plays
    its first home games of the semester
    tonight at 8 p.m. and Saturday at 3
    p.m.
    The team, whose record currently
    stands at 9-9-2 for the season, looks to
    continue its recent undefeated streak
    when it hosts Nebraska this weekend at
    Pepsi Ice Midwest in Overland Park.
    KU club hockey notched two con-
    secutive victories on the road at Texas
    A&M and Texas last week to open the
    semester. The road trip was refreshing
    for the team. Kansas effectively ended
    its four-game losing streak, scoring 13
    goals to its opponents four. Team pres-
    ident and player Dan Guilfoil, Eden
    Prairie, Minn., senior, said he enjoyed
    playing on the road.
    Our road trips are a lot of fun for
    the team, Guilfoil said. We get to
    experience cities weve never been to
    and its a great way for our players to
    connect off the ice. This year our
    biggest wins have come on the road.
    Kansas defeated Nebraska away from
    home in its two previous contests this
    season. In the last three years the
    Jayhawks have not lost a game against
    the Huskers, although one meeting
    ended in a tie.
    I expect us to have some competi-
    tive games against Nebraska, Guilfoil
    said. But I expect us to win by at least
    four goals. Earlier in the year we beat
    them 6-2 and 7-1 and Im expecting a
    very similar outcome this weekend.
    Winning by four goals seems to be a
    lofty expectation, but the team appears
    confident that it is an expectation it
    can meet. The teams leading scorer,
    Erik Bredesen, Crystal, Minn., junior,
    knows he needs to continue to con-
    tribute offensively if the team wants
    to win.
    I definitely feel some extra pres-
    sure, especially when we play against
    the good teams, Bredesen said. Our
    first line has been looked to during the
    season to produce most of the goals and
    if we dont put a couple away, there is
    a good chance our team loses. Also, I
    personally need to stay out of the pen-
    alty box, but as long as we get two Ws
    [this weekend] Ill be happy.
    The arena at Pepsi Ice Midwest is
    almost always full for KU games. It
    never hurts to catch a weekend game
    and help cheer on your school.
    Ive only heard good things from
    our fans that make it to our games,
    especially the ones whove never been
    to a game before, Guilfoil said. They
    are just overwhelmed by the speed and
    atmosphere that a hockey game con-
    tains and once they go once, they are
    hooked for life.

    Nebraska Coach Doc Sadler under-
    stands why people could be question-
    ing his teams confidence level. Sadlers
    Nebraska team has suffered three pride-
    squelching losses in the last three weeks.
    After losing 79-58 to Kansas on Jan.
    12, Nebraska lost on the road against
    Colorado and at home to Baylor.
    And look whos staring the
    Cornhuskers right in the face. Its No.
    2 ranked Kansas Jayhawks a program
    that has beaten Nebraska by an average
    of 31.3 points in the teams last three
    games and a trip to Allen Fieldhouse
    on Saturday.
    I think thats the question people
    are justifiably asking, Sadler said on a
    Tuesday conference call, when asked if
    his team still lacked confidence.
    But Sadler, whose team sits at 0-3 and
    last place in the Big 12 Conference, said
    he thought his teams mindset was fine.
    If you look at the effort, and thats
    where you would, the fact of the matter
    is if we would have made free throws in
    two games, we would be two and one
    right now, Sadler said.
    Nebraska shot 21 of 34 from the free
    throw line in its 72-70 loss to Baylor
    on Jan. 19, but the Cornhuskers did
    shoot 13 of 17 during their 55-51 loss at
    Colorado on Jan. 15.
    Nebraskas loss to Colorado was espe-
    cially surprising. Colorado is 9-9 and
    1-3 in the Big 12 in its first season under
    new coach Jeff Bzdelik, while Nebraska
    started its season 11-2 with non-con-
    ference victories against Oregon and
    Arizona State.
    Sadler pointed to offensive woes to
    try to explain Nebraskas poor Big 12
    start.
    Were not getting easy baskets in
    transition, Sadler said. Youre two
    wings, whoever are playing in those
    two positions, arent giving us a lot
    offensively and we have to get better in
    that area.
    Kansas witnessed Nebraskas perim-
    eter problems in-person when the
    Jayhawks traveled to Lincoln, Neb., on
    Jan. 12. Senior center Aleks Maric had
    19 points, but Nebraskas four starting
    guards combined for 17 points on five
    of 24 shooting.
    Still, despite their recent success
    against the Cornhuskers, sophomore
    forward Darrell Arthur said his Jayhawk
    teammates know Nebraska will come
    into Allen Fieldhouse ready to play.
    It was pretty tough going there and
    beating them, Arthur said. They pres-
    sured us pretty good.

    Baylor is coming of a 116-110
    fve-overtime victory against Texas
    A&M. Baylor is ranked and back at
    home playing a Oklahoma team
    sans freshman Blake Grifn.
    Arizona State, the surprise team in
    college hoops, tries to penetrate
    Washington States physical man-
    to-man defense. Stick with the
    home team here.
    The Bears are tired but should have
    enough to beat the Blake Grifn-
    less Sooners.
    The Bears might be worn out after
    Wednesdays marathon, but if
    they can handle the Aggies, they
    can handle the Blake Grifn-less
    Sooners.
    Baylor basketball is this seasons
    Kansas football. People should
    have realized the Bears potential
    when they almost knocked of top-
    10 team Washington State.
    The story of the Baylor basketball
    programs resurgence is just too
    inspiring to pick against right now.
    Herb Sendek has the Sun Devils
    hotter than theyve been in a year.
    Tempe is becoming a tough place
    to play.
    The Cougars defense will have to
    clamp down in Tempe, but they
    should pull out the victory.
    Washington State is better than
    Arizona State, and the Cougars
    dont beat themselves.
    Arizona States backcourt is as ex-
    plosive as a bomb, But Washington
    State guards Derrick Low and Kyle
    Weaver can difuse it.
    Somewhere hearts are laughing
    and children are shouting, but
    there is no joy in Huggieville. Bob
    Huggins West Virginia team is no
    match for Roy Hibbert and the
    Hoyas.
    Georgetown peaked last year. The
    team isnt the same without Jef
    Green.
    The Hoyas continue to earn my re-
    spect. Thats all there really is to it.
    The Mountaineers are playing at
    home, and Georgetown has been
    vulnerable on the road.
    In three of their last four games,
    the Hoyas just havent looked right.
    Dont think Mountaineers coach
    Bob Huggins hasnt noticed
    The Hokies of Virginia Tech should
    be able to tame Boston College.
    The Eagles woke up after losing
    Robert Morris in early January.
    They could place as high as third in
    the ACC.
    Earlier this month, Boston College
    lost to Robert Morris of the North-
    east Conference. Who?
    The ACC is not a very good confer-
    ence, and Virginia Tech is in the
    middle of the pack.
    Im still not sold on the Eagles. But
    the Hokies are too young to win at
    the Conte Forum.
    In the Battle for the Magnolia
    State, when in doubt, go with the
    home team. Mississippi State is
    undefeated in SEC conference play.
    The Rebels are done. Their weak
    nonconference schedule didnt
    prepare them to win tough road
    games like this one against the
    surprising Bulldogs.
    The Rebels will regroup after a
    close defeat at Auburn and hand
    the Bulldogs their frst SEC loss.
    Mississippi has a better record,
    thats about all I know about this
    game.
    The Rebels dont have any super-
    stars because they dont need
    any. But they dont make costly
    mistakes and play fundamental
    basketball.

    Bradys injury
    draws attention
    BY hOWarD uLMan
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    FOXBOROUGH, Mass. For
    once, not even the paparazzi could
    find Tom Brady. Or his boot.
    They staked out the locker of
    the Patriots quarterback for 45
    minutes before the media access
    period ended on Thursday. Then
    they focused for the 15 minutes
    they were allowed into practice
    and found two quarterbacks, Matt
    Cassel and Matt Gutierrez.
    That was quite a change from
    early in the week when Brady
    walked through a bunch of videog-
    raphers and photographers near the
    New York home of his girlfriend,
    supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
    On Monday, they took pictures
    of him wearing a protective boot
    on his right foot. Later in the day,
    he walked without the boot into a
    nightspot with Bundchen. Video
    on Tuesday also captured him
    without the boot as he headed for
    and entered a cab.
    Im going to put on a boot and
    see if you all follow me around,
    New England halfback Heath
    Evans joked before practice.
    Brady, the NFL MVP, report-
    edly has a minor ankle sprain
    that shouldnt keep him out of the
    Super Bowl on Feb. 3 against the
    New York Giants.
    Coach Bill Belichick and several
    players treated the boot saga with a
    mix of stonewalling and smiles.
    I dont have any comment on
    it, Belichick said in a news confer-
    ence before the Patriots held their
    first practice for the Super Bowl.
    The injury report will be out next
    Wednesday and were excited to
    give that to you. That form will be
    filled out completely and I cant
    wait to give that to everybody.
    I know youre anxious for it,
    so when its due on Wednesday,
    well have it for you. Dont worry
    about that. While Patriots fans
    were concerned about the boot on
    Bradys foot, defensive end Richard
    Seymour was more taken with the
    bouquet in Bradys hand.
    To me, the good part was the
    flowers. I wasnt in on the boot,
    he said.

    Jayhawks, aggies play for redemption
    sports 7b Friday, january 25, 2008
    PLAYERS TO WATCH
    Danielle McCray, 5-foot-11 sophomore
    guard
    14.9 ppg, 7.4 rpg
    McCrays foul trouble has been the Achilles heel
    for Kansas. Every time she exits the game because
    of fouls, the opposition goes on a big run to put
    the game out of reach (as Colorado did on Tues-
    day with a 21-4 run). In order to have any chance
    to win, McCray must stay on the court.
    Krysten Boogaard,
    6-foot-5 freshman
    center
    8.2 ppg, 4.3 rpg
    In the last week
    we saw just how good
    Boogaard can be 17
    points, fve rebounds and
    three blocks in Missouri win
    and how much she still has
    to learn two fouls in the frst
    four minutes of Colorado loss. Boogaard
    has a size advantage over everyone on
    the Texas A&M roster, but her impact
    like McCrays will rest on staying
    out of foul trouble.
    Ivana Catic, 5-foot-8 junior guard
    4.8 ppg, 3.8 apg
    Catic is the foor general for Kansas, and when
    shes clicking everyone else falls into place.
    However, when Catic is of like she has been
    in conference play the team appears out of
    sync. Catics foor leadership has a calming ef-
    fect on the rest of the team and thats something
    they need back.
    Texas A&M has the same
    conference record (1-4) as
    Kansas, yet the team is ranked
    No. 21 in the AP poll. The Ag-
    gies had Big 12 Conference
    title hopes at the beginning
    of the season and now theyre
    just fghting to stay out of last
    place, which makes them a
    very dangerous team. The Jay-
    hawks are to the point in Big 12
    play where they cant aford to
    lose any more games at home,
    even when the opponent is
    probably better than them.
    Can Kansas fnd some Field-
    house magic?
    In its Big 12 opener at home
    against Oklahoma State, Kansas
    held a 12-point lead in the frst
    half and fought to tooth and
    nail trying to win before falling,
    59-54. The Cowgirls are a deeper
    and more talented team than the
    Jayhawks, but the home court
    advantage kept Kansas close
    and nearly helped it get a win.
    Kansas must win its conference
    home games to have any chance
    at a successful postseason, and it
    may need a little extra help from
    the home crowd to get it done
    on Saturday.
    This game is prime op-
    portunity for the Aggies to
    turn around their foundering
    season. After being picked to
    win the conference during the
    preseason, Texas A&M needs
    wins now to have any chance
    of fnishing in the top four. A
    victory on the road against a
    struggling Kansas team could
    help jumpstart their season.
    Can the Aggies force
    Danielle McCray and Kristen
    Boogaard into early foul
    trouble?
    So far, the blueprint to
    defeating the Jayhawks has
    been to keep the talented duo
    of the court. Their tendency
    to commit silly fouls in the frst
    half will only be exacerbated
    by the bevy of ofensive talent
    for the Aggies. Gant should
    pose a difcult matchup for
    McCray and whichever player
    comes out on top could decide
    the contest for her team.
    PLAYERS TO WATCH
    Takia Starks, 5-foot-8 junior guard
    17.3 ppg, 38 percent 3PT
    Starks may be the best of-guard in the Big 12.
    She is efcient ofensively and has the surprising
    ability to mix it up in the paint with the trees at only
    5-8. The 2007 All-Big 12 guard has pulled down
    more than six rebounds per game in Big 12 Confer-
    ence play this year despite the disappointing start.
    Danielle Gant, 5-foot-11 junior guard/forward
    14.3 ppg, 7.1 rpg
    The Aggies will rely on Gant to limit
    talented sophomore Danielle McCrays
    impact ofensively. She should be up
    to the task. Gants weakness in Big
    12 Conference play has been a pro-
    pensity to turn the ball over. She will
    have to cut down on those mistakes
    to keep Kansas from scoring points in
    transition.
    AQuonesi Franklin, 5-foot-3
    senior guard
    8.2 ppg, 4.6 apg
    Another 2007 All-Big 12 guard, Franklin
    must keep the Aggies ofense from suc-
    cumbing to the turn-
    over problems that
    have plagued them
    throuhgout their 1-4 start
    in the Big 12. If she can
    keep things simple and
    get Texas A&M into their
    ofensive sets early in
    the shot clock, look for a big
    night from Starks and Gant.
    WOMEnS BASKETBALL
    Jayhawks strive for victory
    BY ANDREW WIEBE
    awiebe@kansan.com
    Despite losing four of their first
    five conference games, the Jayhawks
    arent panicking. The schedule wont
    get any easier, but on Saturday the
    Hawks will face a Texas A&M squad
    stuck at the bottom of the Big 12
    Conference standings as well.
    Fast starts for both teams have
    faded from memory, and coach
    Bonnie Henrickson knows the only
    way to bounce back is to win.
    Both of us are in the same
    boat right now, coach Bonnie
    Henrickson said. I dont know if
    desperate is the right word, but in
    need of a win.
    After an 11-2 start against teams
    outside the Big 12, Henricksons
    team has found the rigors of confer-
    ence play more challenging. Most
    discerning is sophomore guard
    Danielle McCray and freshman
    center Krysten Boogaards tendency
    to spend significant time on the
    bench in foul trouble.
    Against Colorado on Tuesday,
    Boogaard collected four fouls in
    only 11 minutes of playing time.
    McCray played 31 minutes, but her
    absence during a key stretch of the
    first half after picking up her second
    foul helped the Buffaloes turn a 10-
    point deficit into a 7-point halftime
    advantage.
    Its a trend that is beginning
    to become all too common for
    Kansas.
    You need your best kids on the
    floor, Henrickson said. Danielle
    right now has been good on the
    perimeter and Krysten is really
    evolving into the best low post
    offensive threat that we have. When
    those two go out it hurts our team.
    Without consistent minutes from
    the talented duo, Kansas struggled
    to find the same scoring touch that
    served it well during the nonconfer-
    ence season. After scoring 67 points
    per contest against nonconference
    foes, the Jayhawks have scored an
    average of 49 points in their five
    Big 12 games, making wins hard to
    come by so far.
    We arent getting to the free
    throw line and we arent scoring
    in transition, Henrickson said.
    That puts a lot of pressure on your
    half court offense and half court
    defense. You just dont have any
    wiggle room.

    GOLF
    Woods trails by two strokes
    heading into fnal round
    SAN DIEGO Tiger Woods de-
    livered the score he expected in his
    2008 debut, just not the game.
    Despite playing from the sand,
    rough and behind a few trees early
    in his round, Woods began a much-
    anticipated season Thursday with
    a 5-under 67 on the tougher South
    Course at Torrey Pines. That left him
    two shots behind Troy Matteson,
    and gave him a strong presence
    on the leaderboard as he goes for
    his fourth straight title in the Buick
    Invitational.
    Matteson ran of fve birdies in
    a six-hole stretch on the back nine,
    then fnished his round with con-
    secutive birdies to become the frst
    player since Davis Love III in 2000
    to have the frst-round lead while
    playing the South.
    Matteson was 11 shots bet-
    ter than his last trip around the
    South Course. That was the fnal
    round a year ago, when he played
    alongside Woods and watched
    the worlds No. 1 player turn an
    ordinary round into a winner.
    Woods wasnt the only person
    returning to work.
    Golf Channel anchor Kelly
    Tilghman was back in the booth
    after a two-week suspension for
    jokingly suggesting young players
    wanting to take on Woods should
    lynch him in a back alley. She
    recorded an apology that opened
    the telecast.
    That seemed to end a months
    worth of troublesome news in golf
    outside the ropes Tilghmans
    suspension, the fring of a maga-
    zine editor for putting a noose on
    the cover, and the death of popular
    caddie Steve Duplantis in Del Mar
    early Tuesday.

    sports 8B FRiday, JanuaRy 25, 2008
    85-57 Kansas
    Expect an early run for Kansas similar to the one against Oklahoma. The
    Jayhawks will stay focused and will keep their undefeated record.
    After starting the season
    11-2, the Cornhuskers have
    tumbled to a 0-3 start in the Big
    12 Conference. In last place in
    the Big 12, Nebraska must travel
    into Allen Fieldhouse the
    building where they sufered
    a 92-39 thrashing last season.
    The children of the corn had
    high hopes after defeating No.
    24 Arizona State and Oregon
    earlier this season, but things
    went south in a hurry. Nebraska
    followed up a conference open-
    ing loss against Kansas with
    consecutive losses at the hands
    of Colorado and Baylor.
    The Cornhuskers have lost
    nine consecutive games against
    the Jayhawks their last win
    came on Feb. 15, 2004 in Lin-
    coln, Neb.
    Aleks Maric is a load inside.
    Maric averages 16.6 points per
    game and 8.2
    rebounds.
    Maric scored
    19 points on
    seven of 12
    shooting in
    Nebraskas
    79-58 loss to
    Kansas on
    Jan. 12. Kan-
    sas Sasha Kaun defended Maric
    well the frst time the teams
    played. Self might consider
    making Maric score at the free
    throw line, as he only shoots
    57.7 percent.
    Who else will score for
    Nebraska?
    Nebraska coach Doc Sadler
    said during his weekly confer-
    ence call on Tuesday that he
    was disappointed with the
    scoring production of his wings.
    Maric is the only Cornhusker
    scoring in double fgures.
    Junior guard Ade Dagundoro is
    second on the team in scor-
    ing at 9.7 points per game and
    sophomore Ryan Anderson
    is registering 9.3 points per
    contest. Nebraska is getting
    meager scoring contributions
    from its guards. Even if Maric
    has a big game on Saturday, Ne-
    braska could struggle to keep
    pace on the scoreboard unless
    Dagundoro and Anderson
    exceed expectations.
    I dont think theres anytime
    to have a bad week to have a
    week of, especially once you
    get in the conference. I would
    rather have it closer to the half-
    way mark, but the fact of the
    matter is its this week. I think
    its good.
    Nebraska coach Doc Sadler
    The ProjecTed STarTing Five
    Cookie Miller, 5-foot-7 freshman guard
    Miller provides quickness at the point-guard posi-
    tion and is averaging 5.9 points per game in his frst
    year at Nebraska.

    Ade Dagundoro, 6-foot-5 junior guard
    The Inglewood, Calif., native went scoreless
    against Kansas in Lincoln, Neb., on Jan. 12. He missed
    all six of his shots from the feld and two free throws.
    Ryan Anderson, 6-foot-4 sophomore guard
    Anderson who had 12 points earlier this season
    against Kansas is Nebraskas number two scoring
    option. Hes can shoot it from the outside 39.1
    percent from three-point range but hes better of
    the dribble.
    Sek Henry, 6-foot-3 sophomore guard
    Averaging only 4.8 points per game, Henry isnt
    much of a threat to score. He went scoreless against
    Kansas in Lincoln, Neb., on Jan. 16.
    Aleks Maric, 6-foot-11 senior center
    The Cornhuskers go as Maric goes. If he plays well,
    they usually play well. If the Sydney, Australia, native
    plays poorly, Nebraska will have a hard time
    winning.
    The SixTh man
    Steve Harley, 5-
    foot-11 junior guard
    A telling anecdote
    for Saturdays game: Harley
    Nebraskas sixth man would
    probably be the 11th man on Kansas
    bench.
    Kansas continues to roll even
    when it cant play its favorite
    style of game. Iowa State shut
    down the fast break and the
    guards outside jump shots, and
    the Jayhawks still dominated.
    Nebraska couldnt beat Kansas
    before and not much has
    changed in two weeks. As long
    as the Jayhawks stay energized
    against a team they recently
    handled, an upset is unlikely.
    Teahan seems to be the
    overwhelming favorite of the
    student sec-
    tion because
    of his three-
    pointers. But
    last game,
    he didnt
    make any.
    He missed his
    only feld-
    goal attempt,
    a mid-range jump shot. Teahan
    needs to take at least two three-
    pointers to appease his fans this
    game.
    How many fast break
    points will KU score?
    The Jayhawks have only
    nine in their last two games
    combined. The scarcity of tran-
    sition buckets comes from two
    reasons: opposing defenses are
    starting to send fewer players to
    the glass, and Kansas is starting
    to get less steals. Theres no con-
    cern about the lack of fast break
    points because Kansas is still
    winning, but it needs to at least
    increase the turnovers it forces
    when playing better teams.
    Against Nebraska the frst time,
    the Jayhawks only had eight.
    Expect that number to increase.
    I thought he made some
    good moves, he just didnt fn-
    ish his shot,
    Kansas coach Bill Self on Sherron Collins
    Im sure Doc will have some-
    thing up his sleeve.
    Self on Nebraska coach Doc Sadler
    getting a full week to prepare because the
    Cornhuskers didnt play earlier this week
    Its a lot better just cause
    were not as hesitant as in the
    past. Decision making is a lot
    better and experience is help-
    ing us out a lot. Everybodys
    been around a lot. They know
    what they can and cant do.
    Russell Robinson on the improvement of
    KUs halfcourt ofense
    The ProjecTed STarTing Five
    Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard
    The guards got shut down by Iowa States defense,
    which focused on the little guys. Robinson still did
    a good job of feeding the big men down low. His
    passes were key to Kansas winning the game so
    easily.
    Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard
    The Cyclones held Chalmers in check for the most
    of the game, but he did still manage to fnish with
    10 points. When Kansas plays good teams, Chalm-
    ers will have to fnd a way to get more shots even
    when the defense keys on the guards.
    Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard
    He only took seven shots on Wednesday, but he
    made up for it with his passing, tying a career-high
    with six assists. Two of those came on no-look
    passes.
    Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 forward
    He bailed out the guards by dominating inside.
    When the Jayhawks cant run or shoot from the
    outside, Jackson has to be electric inside, and he
    was against Iowa State.
    Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward
    One rebound is unacceptable. Arthur dominated
    the game ofensively against the Cyclones when he
    was in, but he has to start crashing the boards.
    The SixTh man
    Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 guard
    Collins is starting to attack the
    basket less than he was even a few
    games ago. He was likely bothered
    by an ankle injury Wednesday
    night, but he still needs to start
    driving more instead of relying
    on his average jump shot.

    Nebraska continues its unexpected swoon. Nobody thought
    the Cornhuskers would compete for a top three spot in the
    conference, but they were supposed to fnish in the top half of
    the Big 12. Now, Nebraska is battling to stay out of the cellar.
    It already lost to Colorado and is sitting in dead last at 0-3. Self
    wasnt happy with his teams energy on Wednesday night, so
    the team will likely come out fred up on Saturday. If the Jay-
    hawks are motivated as they should be and have been all year,
    theyll get an early lead and put the game out of doubt.

    Aleks Maric goes for 25 or more points. Maric has already been
    forgotten because his team is struggling, but he is one of the best
    players in the conference. He put up 19 points in just 26 minutes the
    frst time these teams played, two weeks ago. Last year, he scored 41
    points against K-State and 37 against Iowa State. Maric can explode.
    Sasha Kaun and Darrell Arthur will have to stop him. Although
    Nebraska will still fnd it tough to win if Maric scores plenty, Maric can
    certainly make it tougher for Kansas if he has a big game.
