Questions are still being accept-
ed for next Mondays Student
Senate debate, sponsored by The
University Daily Kansan, KUJH-
TV and KJHK.
The questions which can be
e-mailed to senatedebate@kan-
san.com matter to candidates,
Mason Heilman, Lawrence junior
and United Students presiden-
tial candidate, said. He encour-
aged students to
research both the
issues and can-
didates this elec-
tion.
I think stu-
dents should
submit ques-
tions because
theyre the ones
that were going
to be serving,
Heilman said. Theyre the ones
that elect us and the ones that were
working for.
J.J. Siler, Overland Park junior
and Envision presidential candi-
date, said the goal of the debate
which is scheduled to take place
from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Monday,
April 6 on the lawn of Stauffer-
Flint Hall was to engage stu-
dents in the election process.
Right now were dealing with
a system elected by, I believe, 7
percent of the student body, Siler
said. Theres never been a push to
engage more people. I think thats
really important. People need to
see the people representing them.
The debate will be a chance
for candidates to answer students
questions directly, Adam Wood,
Lawrence senior and Students of
Liberty presidential candidate,
said.
Its the only chance to get these
people to actually answer ques-
tions instead of giving little talking
points that dont mean anything,
Wood said. They can clarify what
they mean by some
platform issues
will any of them get
done?
Siler said attend-
ing the debate would
give students the
opportunity to meet
candidates face-
to-face and see the
leaders who might
be representing the
student body next year.
When it comes down to it,
if the chancellor or the provost
needs to talk to someone that rep-
resents students, students have to
have confidence in the people they
elect, Siler said.
Heilman said many students,
especially freshmen, didnt know
what Student Senate was or who
was running. The debate, he said,
would be a chance for those who
wanted to be knowledgeable to get

The curtain is closing on
a 118-year-old legacy at the
University of Kansas.
Beginning July 1, a reorganized
School of Fine Arts will replace
the original one, whose organi-
zation has remained unchanged
since 1891.
The schools programs will move
to new and existing schools at the
University. As students, faculty
and staff prepare for the reorga-
nization, administrators continue
to puzzle out scholarships, donor
contributions and possible cur-
riculum changes that could open
up arts classes to more students.
The latest step in the process
was the naming of Alicia Ann
Clair, professor of music educa-
tion and music therapy, as the
interim dean for the new School
of Music on Wednesday.
Administrators are trying to
make the transition as smooth
as possible for students, many of
whom are having mixed feelings
about the reorganization.
For Mandy Shriwise, Overland
Park senior and dance major, who
has one year left in the school, the
change is bittersweet.
On the whole, its kind of sad
to see, Shriwise said. Theres a
part of me that misses having a
cohesive school at KU.
old and new
The School of Fine Arts cur-
rently includes the departments of
art, design, and music and dance.
Changes under the reorgani-
zation include a new School of
Music, a separate School of the
Arts in the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences and a revamped
department of design that will
move to the School of Architecture
and Urban Planning.
Administrators dont expect
any of these changes to cost the
University any money in the long
term. John Gronbeck-Tedesco,
interim dean of the School of
Fine Arts, said the reorganization
might ultimately save money and
increase enrollment.
We raised the standards for
the units that teach the arts,
Gronbeck-Tedesco said. The
raising of standards often triggers
more interest not only in the arts,
but in other fields as well.
The move to create a School of
Music has received praise from

Te Student Involvement and
Leadership Center ofcially rec-
ognized the KU chapter of Stu-
dents for Concealed Carry on
Campus, or SCCC, as a student
organization March 4.
Te tragic
campus shoot-
ing at Virginia
Tech on April
16, 2007, initi-
ated a national
d i s c u s s i o n
about cam-
pus safety and
sparked debate
on the best
ways to protect
students.
In order to
protect them-
selves and others in the case of a
campus shooting, students at the
University of Kansas began ad-
vocating several months ago for
the right to carry licensed con-
cealed weapons on campus.
Te whole point of the group
is that there are a number of indi-
viduals who can carry anywhere
else but on college campuses,
Derek Miller, SCCC president,
said.
Miller, Kansas City, Kan.,
senior, participated in a train-
ing exercise with the KU Public
Safety Ofce in 2007 as part of a
military group who acted out a
campus shooter scenario.
Miller called the response time
and efectiveness of
the KU Public Safety
Ofce atrocious.
Miller said the train-
ing exercise inspired
him to get more in-
volved in advocating
for Second Amend-
ment rights on cam-
pus.
I was scared,
Miller said.
Cpt. Schuyler Bai-
ley of the KU Public

during training exercises to give

an advantage.

Pickens to discuss plan
for sustainable energy
T. Boone Pickens will discuss
a nationwide sustainable ener-
gy plan, commonly referred to
as the Pickens Plan, in a town
hall meeting at 4:30 p.m. on
April 8 in the Dole Institute of
Politics main conference room.
The program is free and open
to the public and will include
time for questions.
Cori Ast, communications
and event coordinator for the
Dole Institute and December
2008 graduate, said Pickens
devised the plan because he
was outraged with Americans
dependency on foreign oil.
According to a news release
from the Dole Institute, the
plan proposes using the do-
mestic supply of natural gas as
transportation fuel, harnessing
wind and solar power, increas-
ing incentives for household
energy-saving alternatives, and
creating a national electrical
grid.
Its interesting the type of
political infuence one man can
have, Ast said. The Pickens
plan presents one answer to
the U.S. energy crisis; its a
market-driven strategy.
Pickens is the founder and
chairman of BP Capital Man-
agement, a fnancial frm that
manages some of the nations
most successful energy-orient-
ed investment funds.
U.S Senator Sam Brownback

helicopter returning from a North
Sea oil platform went down of
the northeast coast of Scotland
on Wednesday with 16 people
on board, and police said at least
eight were killed. First Minister
of Scotlands nationalist govern-

It looks like we might be might
be facing (Britains) second-worst

fatalities, he said. Eight bodies
have been recovered and I am

MEXICO CITY Mexico is

country. The goal is to weigh and
photograph southbound cars
and trucks, in hopes of snaring
more gun smugglers. As the
Obama administration promises
a crackdown on the illegal U.S.
weapons trade that supplies the
drug cartels, Mexico is acknowl-
edging shortcomings on its side
of the 2,000-mile border. The ATF
says it has traced up to 95 percent
of guns seized at scenes of drug
violence in Mexico to U.S. com-
mercial sources.

4. House set to vote on
tobacco regulation bill
WASHINGTON The House
was poised Wednesday to vote on
the Family Smoking Prevention
and Tobacco Control Act, which
would amount to the biggest
change ever in the governments
approach toward tobacco.
Although the FDA wouldnt
be allowed to ban nicotine or
tobacco, the agency would be
able to regulate the contents of
tobacco products, make public
their ingredients, prohibit favor-
ing, require much larger warning
labels and control marketing cam-
paigns, especially those geared
toward children.
Opponents contended that the
FDA was already overburdened
and couldnt handle the job of
regulating another big industry.
U.S. tobacco production was
valued at $1.3 billion in 2007.

Corruption indictment
expected for Blagojevich
CHICAGO An indictment
is expected as early as Thursday
charging ousted Illinois Gov. Rod
Blagojevich with presiding over
state government awash in politi-
cal corruption.
The indictment U.S. Attorney
Patrick J. Fitzgerald is expected to
produce would replace a com-
plaint charging Blagojevich with
plotting to trade or sell President
Barack Obamas former U.S. Senate
seat and a host of other corruption.
While timing of grand jury
meetings is never disclosed,
Thursday is believed to be the last
before a Tuesday deadline for the
complaint to be replaced.
Fitzgerald could ask U.S.
District Court Chief Judge James
F. Holderman for an extension,
but all signs point to an imminent
indictment.
Were just hours away from a
massive pay-to-play indictment
against Gov. Blagojevich and

Gov. George Ryan to prison for

tors to impose sweeping changes.

Student Senate
Subcommittee fnalizes recommendations for funding cuts
the FeeS
1) Campus Transportation
2) Environmental Improvement
3) Student Media
4) Student Union Activities
5) Campus Safety
the Change
1) Increased by $1.00
2) Decreased by $1.40
3) No change
4) Decreased by 50 cents
5) Eliminated
What it meanS For you
1) The dollar increase for trans-
portation would go into a general
bus procurement fund.
Danny Kaiser, assistant director
of parking and transit, said pur-
chasing new buses was beneficial
to students because they were more
reliable, more environmentally
friendly and required fewer main-
tenance costs. He said the buses
currently owned were old beyond
the normal life expectancy of buses
and needed to be replaced.
2) England Porter, Independence
senior and chairman of the student
environmental advisory board, said
the cuts would drastically affect the
groups efforts to bring sustainabil-
ity projects to campus.
There are a lot of students who
are really discouraged that it was
cut and to such a great degree,
Porter said.
She said there were many proj-
ects in the works and did not know
how the cut in funding would affect
them.
3) The campus media fee funds
KJHK, The University Daily
Kansan, Kiosk Magazine, KUpedia
and KU Filmworks and was origi-
nally recommended to be cut by 25
cents. However, in the last minutes
of the meeting, Alex Porte, Great
Falls, Va., junior, amended the bill
to take an additional 25 cents from
the newspaper readership fee and
put it towards the campus media
fee.
In his presentation of the amend-
ment, Porte said it was important to
fund student media over national
outlets.
4) Nathan Mack, Lawrence
senior and vice president of admin-
istration and finance for Student
Union Activities, said the 50-cent
fee cut, coupled with decreased
funding from other sources, would
have a dramatic effect on the types
of programming SUA would be able
to offer next year.
Mack said the group would try
not to cut the number of events it
organized, but would instead have
to focus on doing them for less.
Its just going to take a lot more
work, Mack said.
5) Felix Zacharias, Wichita
junior, who chairs the campus safe-
ty board, said cutting the campus
safety fee sent a negative message to
the student body, though he under-
stood why it was done.
He said he thought the campus
safety fee had accumulated enough
money in its reserve account for the
board to work with next year.
Zacharias also said some projects
would no longer be possible.
Difficult times bring innovation,
and its just going to be a matter of
how creative we can get, he said.

Federal authorities seize
Madofs beach mansion
PALM BEACH, Fla. Federal
authorities seized disgraced
fnancier Bernard Madofs Palm
Beach mansion, his vintage
yacht and a smaller boat
Wednesday as part of an efort
to recoup assets to pay back
investors he swindled.
Barry Golden, a spokesman
for the U.S. Marshals Service,
said about fve U.S. marshals
arrived at the 8,753-square-foot,
fve-bedroom mansion late
Wednesday afternoon, hours
after marshals seized the boats.
Authorities planned to enter
and secure the mansion, change
the locks and conduct an inven-
tory of the property, which Palm
Beach County records show had
a taxable value of $9.3 million
last year.
Golden said marshals will
spend about three to four hours
flming and photographing
items in the house that might
be removed at some point. The
mansion was unoccupied when
federal authorities arrived.

After about 40 hours of hear-
ings, reviews and deliberations,
the Student Senate fee review
subcommittee finalized its rec-
ommendations regarding which
campus organizations would see
cuts in funding.
The recommendations were
amended slightly and then
passed at the finance meet-
ing Wednesday night and will
go before full Senate for final
approval next week.
In total, 30 fees were reviewed
for the purpose of maintaining
fee costs at the current level for
next school year.
Student Body President
Adam McGonigle said it was
important that any cost increase
for students be used to fund
academics over other cam-
pus programs. Five of the fees
reviewed received increased
funding while another nine
were decreased.
The fees are the largest
amount of money students have

many in the department of music
and dance. Christopher Johnson,
professor of music and associate
dean of the School of Fine Arts,
said KU had one of the largest
music departments in the coun-
try.
Alyssa Boone, Wichita senior
and music performance major,
said a new School of Music would
help give professors and students
adequate recognition for their
work.
Just in name alone, the depart-
ment of music being elevated to
a school of music makes us a
little more lucrative to people who
would come and teach here, said
Boone, who also served on the
task force to help plan the reor-
ganization.
Change is hard
Sam Schlageck, Manhattan
senior, expressed confusion about
the reorganization. Schlageck said
he did not feel informed about the
changes because of poor commu-
nication between administrators
and students.
I dont think they really went
around and asked for much input
regarding what we would like
to see in the departments, said
Schlageck, an industrial design
major and the Student Senator for
the School of Fine Arts.
One primary factor motivating
changes to the School of Fine Arts
was the need to modernize the
schools organization, said Dawn
Marie Guernsey, chair of the art
department.
The outdated model made it dif-
ficult to find a new dean for the
school, said Johnson, the associate
dean of the School of Fine Arts.
Steven Hedden, the previous dean,
stepped down last year to return to
his teaching position in the depart-
ment of music and dance.
Johnson said students might not
notice some of the changes because
faculty and courses would be in
the same offices and buildings as
before. He said students would still
have access to the same degrees
and programs, just offered under
different schools.
In the long run, all the programs
are going to flourish, Johnson said.
In the short run, change is hard.
Opening the arts
In the School of the Arts, orga-
nizational changes could include
opening first- and second-year
art classes to all KU students,
Guernsey said.
The change would allow non-
art major students to take art
courses as elective credit within
the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences.
Currently, non-art majors must
have faculty permission to take an
art class. Changing the require-
ments could also help recruit stu-
dents to the School of the Arts and
provide graduate student teaching
opportunities.
It goes both ways, Gronbeck-
Tedesco said. Students outside
the arts have more access to art
training and those in art will have
more access outside the arts.
part Of the Creative
prOCess
But the plan is not without criti-
cism.
Tim Hamill, a Lawrence resi-
dent and former chairman of the
School of Fine Arts Advisory
Board, said he was worried that
the reorganization would not pre-
pare students for the real world,
where art and design are inte-
grated.
Dividing the school into dif-
ferent disciplines makes sense
academically, said Hamill, who
received his undergraduate and
graduate design degrees from the
University.
But to those of us who have
spent 30 to 40 years making our
living in art and design, the idea of
separating art and design doesnt
make any sense at all.
May Tveit, associate profes-
sor of industrial design, said she
wasnt unhappy with the new
plan, but would have preferred
to see art, design and architecture
merged, rather than moved to dif-
ferent schools.
The current contemporary
world tells me that all of our disci-
plines are merging and hybridiz-
ing, Tveit said. I had hoped that
the structural alignment would
have supported that.
Caroline Curtin, Leawood
senior, a graphic design and paint-
ing major, has a unique perspec-
tive on the reorganization because
her majors will no longer be in the
same school.
It is a bit of a shame that peo-
ple cannot see that, out in the real
world, art and design work hand
in hand, Curtin said. Without
knowledge of one or the other it
would be hard to be successful in
either discipline.
Aside from the criticism, John
Hachmeister, associate professor
of art, said he was not worried
because artistic thinkers could
creatively change quickly.
It would really behoove us to
rally on top of this and accept that
change, Hachmeister said. Yeah,
there will be some things that will
be a little messy, but thats part of
the creative process. If anybody
can do this, we can do this.

Dawn Marie Guernsey, chair
of the department of art, said
the new School of the Arts
was being modeled after insti-
tutions such as the Univer-
sity of Indiana, Bloomington,
which has a prestigious art
program located within the
College of Arts and Sciences.
Stephanie Klausing, gradu-
ate services coordinator for

Indianas organization gave
undergraduates convenient
access to arts courses and the
option to easily switch among

They get a well-rounded

degree, Klausing said.
Guernsey said the College

had other resources, including
fnancial resources, that could
also beneft the School of the

ISLAMABAD The son of
a poor potato farmer who once
worked as a fitness instructor has
grown into one of the most pow-
erful militant
leaders along the
Pakistan-Afghan
border, his rise
fueled by alli-
ances with al-
Qaida and fellow
Pakistani mili-
tants.
T a l i b a n
chief Baitullah
Mehsud, who
vowed Tuesday to attack the
White House, poses one of the
greatest threats to President
Barack Obamas push to stem
Pakistans slide toward instabil-
ity and turn around the war in
Afghanistan, analysts and officials
said Wednesday.
In a move that addressed those
concerns, the U.S. fired two drone
missiles Wednesday at the alleged
hide-out of one of Mehsuds
commanders in a remote area
of the Orakzai tribal region near
the Afghan border in northwest
Pakistan, killing 14
people, intelligence
and local officials
said.
For years, the U.S.
considered Mehsud
a lesser threat than
some of the other
Pakistani Taliban,
their Afghan coun-
terparts and al-Qai-
da, because most of
his attacks were focused inside
Pakistan, not against U.S. and
NATO troops in Afghanistan.
Pakistani officials said the U.S.
has changed its view in recent
months as Mehsuds power has
grown and concerns mounted that
increasing violence in Pakistan
could destabilize the nuclear-
armed ally.
Mehsud poses a very real
threat to stability and security in
Pakistan and Afghanistan, said
Eric Rosenbach, a terrorism expert
at Harvards Kennedy School.
The FBI said it was not aware
of any imminent or specific threat
to Washington, and Mehsud has
not carried out any attacks out-
side the region. Even so, Pakistani
officials said the U.S. has stepped
up strikes targeting the Pakistani
Taliban leader and his supporters
in recent weeks.
The State Department autho-
rized a reward of up to $5 mil-
lion for Mehsud on March 25,
the same day a suspected U.S.
missile strike killed eight mili-
tants near his hometown in South
Waziristan.
Pakistan has publicly criticized
the U.S. missile attacks, saying
they violate the countrys sover-
eignty and kill innocent civilians.

GARANCE BURKE
Associated Press
TERRA BELLA, Calif. The
reason it didnt take dozens of ill-
nesses for federal regulators to
learn about salmonella-tainted
pistachios has nothing to do with
federal regulations.
Routine but unrequired testing
by a manufacturer for Kraft Foods
Inc. first detected the contamina-
tion almost two weeks ago, when
workers at a plant in Illinois decid-
ed to check roasted nuts going into
huge vats of trail mix.
Private auditors hired by Kraft
later found problems they think
caused the contamination at a sup-
pliers processing facility in central
California.
If Kraft had not chosen to pri-
oritize testing, 2 million pounds of
pistachios that touched off govern-
ment warnings and a nationwide
salmonella scare this week prob-
ably would still be on the mar-
ket. Neither the Food and Drug
Administration nor
state laws require
food manufacturers
to test the safety of
their products.
Were relying
on companies to
find the contami-
nated foods on
their own, and
since theres no
national standards
for this, some companies dont
bother to test at all, said Rep.
Diana DeGette, D-Colo., a critic
of the nations food safety system.
What if these nuts had been
distributed by a company that
doesnt test? We wouldnt have
found out until people got sick.
DeGette and numerous other
lawmakers are calling for the FDA
to develop testing regulations for
every segment of the food industry,
and want companies to be required
to release test results.
Federal health officials warned
people this week to avoid eating all
pistachios and products containing
them while they determine which
products may be contaminated.
The nuts Kraft manufacturer
Georgia Nut Co. tested on March
20 came from Setton Pistachio of
Terra Bella Inc., the second-largest
pistachio processor in the nation,
which has recalled more than 2
million pounds of its roasted pis-
tachios.
The investigation of tainted pis-
tachios contrasts sharply with that
of this years salmonella outbreak
involving peanuts, the subject of
a criminal investigation and thou-
sands of recalls.
The contamination was not
traced to peanuts until hundreds of
people around the country got sick.
The company involved, Peanut
Corp. of America, had tested its
products, but inspection records
show that in some cases it shipped
peanuts it knew were probably
tainted.
Private industry reported the
pistachio problem immediately,
rather than waiting for public
health officials to intervene. And
as of Wednesday, authorities had
not confirmed any illnesses.
You can call it a fluke, you can
call it good luck, or you can call
it good judgment on the part of
Kraft, said Dr. David Acheson,
FDAs assistant commissioner for
food safety. Theyre
not required to tell
us, they did and
were moving on it.
Acheson said
the FDA does not
mandate testing so
companies are free
to decide whether to
take that step before
distributing food
products to stores.
Officials with the Grocery
Manufacturers Association, an
industry group that represents
major food manufacturers, say
Kraft has one of the most aggres-
sive food safety systems in the busi-
ness.
But they say getting the govern-
ment to require testing of all foods
is not the answer, since different
foods are at risk of becoming con-
taminated at very different steps in
the manufacturing process.
You dont want to do testing just
for the sake of doing testing, said
the associations chief science offi-
cer, Robert Brackett. That tends
to be this one-size-fits all situation
where it may work really well for
some products and not for others.
What we really focus on is for com-
panies to build the safety into their
programs in the first place.

Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc. is a processing plant inTerra Bella, Calif. The company, which is at the center of a nationwide pistachio recall, says it believes the salmonella contamination is
likely not froma human or animal source inside its plant.
pants and address each as needed,
Bailey said.
Eric Stein, Tpeka senior, is the
state leader for SCCC. Te state
federation of SCCC represents
students at all six state universities
and two community colleges.
The state group was endorsed
in June by the Kansas State Rifle
Association. Stein said the group
had more than 500 members in
Kansas and more than 19,000 na-
tionally.
Were growing every day, just
little by little, Stein said.
In 2006, the Kansas Legislature
passed the Personal and Family
Protection Act, which allowed li-
censed individuals to carry con-
cealed firearms.
The law also said certain build-
ings could post
signs on entranc-
es and ban the
carrying of weap-
ons.
In April of
2008, one year
and one day af-
ter the campus
shooting at Vir-
ginia Tech, the
Kansas Board
of Regents passed a motion de-
claring the six state universities
weapon-free.
Kip Peterson, spokesperson
for the Kansas Board of Regents,
said the state concealed carry law
allowed certain in-
stitutions, such as
churches and schools
to opt out and not al-
low the weapons.
Te Kansas Board
of Regents chose to
opt out, Peterson
said.
Tis choice by the
Regents bans weap-
ons on all university
properties including buildings,
outdoors, and in parking garages.
Stein said the group would take
the issue up with the state legisla-
ture, which originally passed the
law allowing for the concealed car-
rying of weapons.
Te Kansas Board of Regents
has made it pretty clear that theyre
not going to budge on this issue,
Stein said, so we have to go to the
legislatures.
Gina Burrows, vice president of
Young Democrats, said she agreed
with the Regents policy banning
weapons on campus.
Burrows, Salt Lake City junior,
said she supported peoples con-
stitutional right to carry weapons,
but didnt think it was appropriate
on college campuses.
I, for one, dont want to be
sitting in class and wonder if
someone next to me has a gun,
Burrows said.
Miller said he didnt think
people would feel uncomfort-
able with weapons on campus
because the weapons were con-
cealed, and no one would see
them.
I can guarantee you that
the last time you went to the
movies, someone was carrying
a concealed weapon, Miller
said. Tats the beauty of it
you would never know.

Downey Jr. gives Holmes
story an action update
LAS VEGAS Leave it to Rob-
ert Downey Jr. to turn Sherlock
Holmes into a wisecracking
action hero who ends up hand-
cufed naked to a bed. Downey
ofered a sneak peek Tuesday
of his new take on the cerebral
detective created by Arthur
Conan Doyle.
Theater owners attending
their annual ShoWest conven-
tion got to see Downeys Hol-
mes in a bruising boxing match,
diving from a tall building into
Londons Thames River and
trading barbs with roommate
Dr. Watson (Jude Law), who
complains about the detec-
tives slovenliness and nocturnal
violin playing.
Downey also turns the
detective into something of a
ladies man as his Holmes gets
a romantic interest (Rachel Mc-
Adams). Conan Doyles Holmes
lived a monks life, save for one
purely platonic dalliance with
a female foil whose intellect he
greatly admired.
Despite the saucy swag-
ger and attitude of Downeys
Sherlock Holmes, directed by
Guy Ritchie, the actor said the
movie is true to the spirit of Co-
nan Doyles stories, which have
plenty of action.
Past screen adaptations
of Holmes stories just never
had the money to do it right,
Downey said.
Downey joked that after his
superhero fick Iron Man had a
blockbuster opening weekend
last year, his agents told him he
had a window of the next hour
and a half where he could do
anything he wanted in Holly-
wood. His agents told him dont
do anything crazy, Downey said.
The actor said he called Joel
Silver the producing partner
of his wife, Susan Downey, and
his collaborator on Weird Sci-
ence,Gothika and Kiss Kiss
Bang Bang. Downey said he told
Silver he was interested in doing
an intelligent action movie that
also was a period piece.

Madonnas efforts to adopt 2 children from Malawi part of trend
CeLeaN JaCOBSON
Associated Press
LILONGWE, Malawi
Madonnas efforts to adopt two
youngsters from Malawi have
drawn the paparazzi. But she isnt
alone: Westerners are increasingly
seeking to bring home children
from Africa as traditional sources
like China and
Russia cut back on
adoptions by for-
eigners.
The rising
number of adop-
tions from Africa
particularly
by Americans in
Ethiopia comes
as the AIDS epi-
demic ravaging the
continent leaves
more orphans in impoverished
countries and surviving relatives
are unable to care for them.
Americans adopted 1,725
Ethiopian children in the 12-month
period ending Sept. 30, 2008, about
70 percent of all U.S. adoptions
from Africa, according to the U.S.
State Department. The year before,
1,255 Ethiopian children were
adopted by Americans.
Thomas DiFilipo, president of
the Joint Council on International
Childrens Services, does not attri-
bute the increase to a celebrity fac-
tor, but he says some high-profile
adoptions by celebrities have raised
awareness of the availability of
orphans in Africa.
One of the good
things about the
Madonna adoption or
Angelina Jolie, those
adoptions brought
the need to the atten-
tion of Europeans or
Americans, he said.
And it brought the
possibility to peoples
attention.
Rich foreign-
ers have been adopting children
from poorer nations for decades.
Mia Farrow, now the mother of
14, adopted an orphan from the
Vietnam War in 1973. Jolie adopted
her sons Maddox and Pax from
Cambodia and Vietnam and her
daughter Zahara from Ethiopia.
But critics have slammed
Madonnas efforts to adopt a sec-
ond child from Malawi this week,
accusing her of acting like a rich
bully and using her money and
status to fast-track the adoption
process. On Tuesday, Madonna
insisted she was following stan-
dard procedures.
Many adoption agencies and
child rights activists argue it is pref-
erable for children to be taken care
of by relatives or in their communi-
ties, with foreign adoptions allowed
only as a last resort. Others say that
isnt always realistic.
Ideally more local adoptions
would be best, but people arent
coming forward and if life is better
out there then they should take it,
said Zoe Cohen, a private adop-
tion consultant in South Africa.
Adoption experts say the rise
in adoptions from Africa is due
to developments in China, Russia,
Guatemala and other longtime
sources of orphans that have
reduced the number of foreign
adoptions. As a result, the number
of foreign children adopted by
Americans fell 12 percent last year,
reaching the lowest level since
1999.
According to the State
Department, 2,399 visas were
issued to African children adopt-
ed by Americans last year, out of
17,438 adoptions from abroad.
Ideally more local
adoptions would be
best, but people arent
coming forward and if
life is better out there
then they should take it.

A
Kansas Senate committee
advanced a bill on March
19 that would add sexual
orientation and gender identity
to the Kansas Act Against
Discrimination, a measure that
is long overdue. It is possible,
however, that this important
piece of legislation could be put
on hold.
Under Kansas law, it is
illegal to discriminate in public
accommodations, employment,
and housing for the following
characteristics: race,
religion, color, sex,
disability, national
origin and ancestry.
Sexual orientation and
gender identity should
be added to this list
in order to protect the LGBT
community of Kansas.
The Kansas Equality Coalition
supports the addition to the bill,
and it was voted for by Sens.
Marci Francisco (D-Lawrence),
Roger Reitz (R-Manhattan),
Oletha Faust-Goudeau,
(D-Wichita), Tim Owens,
(R-Overland Park) and Pete
Brungardt (R-Salina).
Using sexual orientation as
a reason to prohibit someone
from housing, or as grounds to
remove someone from their job,
is absurd. The United States is a
country founded on equality for
all people, and this bill would
just be insuring that Kansans are
holding true to this American
ideal.
Currently, Senate Majority
Derek Schmidt (R-Independence)
does not know
whether he will bring
the bill up before
the full Senate. In a
Lawrence Journal-
World article from
March 22, he is
quoted as saying, Id just like to
understand why a majority on the
committee thought it needed to
be debated this year.
There should not be a
timetable placed on protecting
citizens. There is not a good
reason for this bill to be
overlooked this legislative session.
As Milton Wendland, attorney
and GTA in the department of

studies asked, How can you
postpone civil rights?
Kansas would join 26 other
states that already have legislation
protecting against sexual
orientation discrimination. Even
if you are not a part of the LGBT
community, students should
advocate equality for all people.
Diversity should be celebrated,
not put on hold.

L
ately, Ive heard a lot of my
peers complaining about
some current circumstances
that are less than ideal. The
economy sucks. Were out of the
tournament. It just snowed when
winter is supposed to be over.
But there are reasons to remain
optimistic.
For those feeling a little
blue, here is a reminder of how
lucky you are (and proud you
should be) just to a student
at the University, as well as
a few statistics to throw at
anyone questioning our beloved
university.
One of the best reasons to be
attending the University: It rocks
and its also affordable. Although
many of us will not be here more
than four or five years, there is
a sizeable population that will
continue its education after an
undergraduate degree. Whatever
your path, the University is likely
the right (or at least a smart)
choice.
Mary Beth Marklein of USA
Today reported in her article
Economy Influences College
Choices that seven out of 10 high
school students said the struggling
economy had affected their
college applications. Obviously
those 70 percent havent visited
Lawrence yet.
But the University goes beyond
being a great bargain. The
Princeton Review reports that it
has a place for all types of people,
from the greeks to the hippies,
and acknowledges its infectious
school spirit.
KU students love life at their
school, the Review said.
TopUniversities.com said that
greatness began with the founding
of Lawrence as an abolitionist
town, and the founding of the
University has only continued to
astonish ever since.
This Web site also referred
to the University as an ideal
campus, and claims that at
this college opportunities are
boundless. Thats definitely not
an understatement.
The University has been called
home for the astronomer who
discovered Pluto, New York Times
best-selling author Steve Doocy,
the former CEO of Pepsi-Cola
Co., the first African-American
woman to entertain at the White
House, governors, national (and
Emmy-award winning) news
anchors, the inventor of that semi-
popular sport called basketball,
NASA astronauts and Nobel
Prize-winners. And I cant forget
the wildly popular actor Paul
Rudd, Olympic gold medalists,
the discoverer of vitamin A,
ambassadors (to countries such
as South Africa and Qatar), the
co-founder of Netscape and the
first female senator to have been
elected before her husband.
Unfortunately, there are just
too many legendary Jayhawks for
me to mention them all. For more
than a decade, the University
has received four stars from the
Fiske Guide to Colleges, and U.S.
News and World Report ranked
it at 89 out of the Best National
Universities in a survey of more
than 1400 colleges.
Oh, and even though its 2009,
we can all still brag about our
Orange Bowl and NCAA National
Championship victories of 2008.
Be serious; dont you think
Mizzou would do the same if they
actually won something?
The bottom line our school
is awesome, and we are all thereby
awesome by association. Now
that I have stroked the ego of all
current and former KU students
and faculty, go out there and have
a wonderful day. Dont forget to
yell Rock Chalk to anyone you
see, because it always has been,
and always will be, great to a
Jayhawk.

NCAA tournament boycotts
Confederate-fag fying city
By Ryan Quinn
U. of South Carolina
The Daily Gamecock
I
was reading an article in
The State Tuesday, and
I was shocked to learn
that the reason we miss out
on all the March Madness is
because of the Stars and Bars.
Yes, it seems that having the
Confederate flag on State
House grounds actually does
hurt something other than
the feelings of thousands of
residents. The NCAA forbids
Columbia from hosting a game,
though we have the perfect
accommodations, solely because
the Confederate flag still flies
at our Capitol. Sometimes I
wish that Sherman had made
Columbia Famously Hot like
he did Savannah.
A flag symbolizes a country
as long as that country exists.
When that country ceases
to exist 1865 for the
CSA the flag no longer
symbolizes something real. A
flag then becomes a symbol
that is defined by human
emotion. Many believe that the
Confederate flag is a symbol
of the glory of the old South.
Many believe that it honors the
soldiers who died for what they
believed in. Vastly more believe
it represents racism, prejudice
and hate.
Though many respect the
Confederate flag, the fact that
many others are offended by
it means that it has no place
at our Capitol. Our Capitol is
supposed to be a representation
of all, not some.
Whether or not a symbol
should be displayed in a public
place should be based on
consensus. Though the swastika
is a symbol of luck to some
Hindus and Buddhists, it is a
symbol of hate to just about
everyone else. And though some
former German soldiers may
see the Nazi flag as an honor to
those who died in the war, it is
not allowed to fly in Germany.
Likewise, no matter what you
believe the Civil War was about,
or what the flag represents, too
many people are offended by it.
It doesnt matter which group
pro-flag or anti-flag is in the
majority. Anything that is that
close to 50-50 is too debatable
to be on State House grounds.
Many rebuke this reasoning
by citing that we dont take the
American flag down even
though extremists burn it and
many Europeans hate it. But the
simple fact is that the American
flag represents a real country
and here in America, the flag is
respected.
We all know the general
consensus in the world and in
the United States on what the
Confederate flag means. Even in
the South, youd be hard-pressed
to prove that a majority thinks
highly of the Confederate flag.
Hang it on your wall. Fly it
on your house. Put it on your
boat. I dont care where you
put it, just dont put it at the
Capitol. Remember, thats my
Capitol, too.

Student Senate elections
about participation,
not coalitions
I just asked a friend what
hed do with $20 million. He
replied by saying, Id get the
hell out of this place, buy a
beach-front house, a really fast
car and then put the rest of it
under my mattress. Why do
you ask?
Each year approximately 85
percent of the student body
abstains from Student Senate
elections. Student fees may
seem like just another drop in
the bucket after factoring in
the rest of your tuition but it
adds up to be a budget slightly
shy of $20 million.
With this money, Senate
funds things such as Watkins
Health Center, KU on Wheels,
Ambler Student Recreation Fit-
ness Center and KU Recycling.
In addition to this, senators are
appointed or elected to serve
on various boards and com-
mittees to represent you when
choosing a new chancellor or
changing the academic calen-
dar. So why dont you vote?
Regardless of whether or
not youve voted in Student
Senate elections, weve got
your money. Regardless of
whether or not youll ever ride
a KU bus youve already paid
$56 per semester to ensure
that theyll run. Despite that
Title IX is a federally mandated
law, money from your wallet
($80 per fscal year per student
or $2.4 million) made up the
funding diference between
mens and womens sports and
paid for the construction of a
boathouse that you most likely
arent ever going to use.
Student Senate elections will
be held the second week of
April. Four coalitions are run-
ning this year. Every year that I
have attended the University a
new coalition has been formed
claiming to reach out to the
disenfranchised student body.

SAN FRANCISCO The
Conficker Internet worms feared
April Fools Day throwdown for
control of millions of infected PCs
stirred lots of panic but came and
went with a whimper.
Security experts say some
Conficker-infected computers
those poisoned with the latest
version of the worm started
phoning home for instructions
more aggressively Wednesday,
trying 50,000 Internet addresses
instead of 250. However, security
companies monitoring the worm
remained successful at blocking
the communications.
We didnt see anything that
wasnt expected, said Paul
Ferguson, a security researcher at
antivirus software maker Trend
Micro Inc. Im glad April 1 hap-
pened to be a nonevent. People got
a little too caught up in the hype
on that. (The infected computers)
didnt go into attack mode, planes
didnt fall out of the sky or anything
like that.
The worm can take control
of unsuspecting PCs running
Microsofts Windows operating
system. Tied together into a bot-
net, these PCs can be directed to
send spam, carry out identity-
theft scams and bring down Web
sites by flooding them with traf-
fic.
Thats why the April 1 change
in Confickers programming
was a small twist and not the
end of the story. The network
of Conficker-infected machines
could still spring to life and be
used for nefarious deeds.
One scary element is that
Confickers authors have given the
infected PCs peer-to-peer abili-
ties, which allows them to update
each other and share malicious
commands through encrypted
channels. That ability means the
computers dont have to contact a
Web site at all, and the communi-
cations are protected.

Composer Franz Liszt will be
honored this weekend in a three-
day festival where students and
pianists from around the world will
perform his works.
Pianists from Hong Kong,
Russia and China will perform
this weekend, as well as University
students.
Steven Spooner, assistant pro-
fessor of piano, is on the board of
directors for the American Liszt
Society and helped bring the festival
to the University.
Franz Liszt was
a Hungarian com-
poser and pianist
in the 19th centu-
ry. He was hugely
important in the
Romantic move-
ment of the era and
many consider him
the greatest pianist
of his time.
I thought the school had a lot of
connections to Liszt and it would be
a natural fit, Spooner said.
The last grand piano Liszt owned,
built especially for his last tour in
England, resides in the Spencer
Museum of Art. Musicians will play
his music on it Friday.
Levi Larson, Idaho Falls,
Idaho, piano graduate student,
will be performing one of Liszts
Transcendental Etudes Sunday.
The pieces the students are play-
ing are some of the hardest in the
piano repertoire, Larson said.
Kezia Schrag, Valley Center
piano doctoral student, is hous-
ing a pianist from Hong Kong
whom she met at a music festival
in Poland last summer.
Though Schrag is not playing
in the festival, she is volunteering
to usher events, register attendees
and shuttle performers from the
airport.
Its a wonderful opportunity to
meet a lot of people and network
with professionals and hear high-
class performances and music,
Schrag said.
John Perry, former School of
Fine Arts faculty
member, will teach
master piano class-
es Saturday.
Spooner said the
festival is usually
held in larger cit-
ies. Last year it was
held at the Library
of Congress in
Washington, D.C.
In a major city
you could be there a year and not
get the quality and number of
performances that you could get in
this festival, Spooner said.
Larson said he practiced his
piece for six hours a day and had
been doing so for nine months.
Most people talk about Liszts
music as being very technically
challenging, Spooner said. Its
more than just that its incred-
ibly clear and it usually depicts
another story.

After getting run-ruled in game
one by No. 11 Missouri to begin
the day, the Jayhawks were in dan-
ger of being shut out again in game
two. Facing a 1-0 deficit in the bot-
tom of the seventh, the Jayhawks
bats heated up just in time.
Sophomore outfielder Liz
Kocon led off the final frame with
a home run to right field to tie
the score, and four batters later,
junior first baseman Amanda Jobe
launched a home run of her own,
giving Kansas the walk-off 4-1
victory.
After the game, coach Tracy
Bunge spoke
highly of the
resiliency of her
club.
For a lot of
teams in our
position, getting
beat 8-0 in the
first game, that
would have been
it, she said.
But we really
clawed our way through. The girls
brushed it off and were focused on
going out and getting game two.
Kansas indeed shook off a
rough first game, in which they
were run-ruled by the Tigers in
six innings. Senior pitcher Valerie
George started strong, retiring the
first nine batters she faced, fan-
ning four. But Missouri batters
got to the Jayhawk ace for two
runs in the fourth inning and one
more in the fifth to jump out to a
3-0 lead. The Tigers then batted
around in the sixth
inning, exploding for
five more runs.
Missouri pitcher
Stacy Delaney was
sharp from the circle,
striking out eight, but
the Jayhawks didnt
do themselves any
favors. Despite six hits
in the game, Kansas
left eight runners on
base including a squandered
bases-loaded opportunity in the
fourth.
The Jayhawks didnt fare much
better at the plate in game two,
mustering only one hit against
Missouri freshman Kristen
Nottelmann through six innings.
But luckily for Kansas, softball is
a seven inning game which was
just enough time for the clutch hit-
ting of Kocon and Jobe.
I just went up there relaxed,
Kocon said. She had already got
me twice, so I just stepped back
off the plate and looked for some-
thing inside.
The approach worked, as Kocon
smashed a no-doubter over the
right field fence. Jobe wasnt as
sure that her ball had enough
behind it.
It kind of hung up there, she
said. I didnt even care if it went
out, I just didnt want it to be
caught we needed that run to
score.

jjenks@kansan.com
All season, junior forward
Danielle McCray talked about
being Kansas go-to player, the one
who wanted the ball in her hands
with the game on the line.
Those thoughts have never been
far from McCrays mind, but the
situation failed to fully materialize
in the seasons first 34 games.
That all changed last night when
McCrays late bucket sent Kansas
to the Womens NIT championship
game by defeating Illinois State
75-72 in front of 8,360 fans at Allen
Fieldhouse.
With 39 seconds left and Kansas
desperately clinging to a three-
point lead, McCray grabbed her
own miss and completed a three-
point play with a zealous scream to
give Kansas a 68-62 lead.
Shes always been a kid thats
wanted to take big shots and has
been capable of hitting big shots,
coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
She loves the pressure and thats
what great players do.
McCray has always been Kansas
best, and most consistent, scorer
this season. When needed, she has
taken over offensively and guided
Kansas to victories.
But the magnitude of Wednesday
nights game, and the sheer vol-
ume of fans in attendance, marked
McCrays gutsiest performance this
season.
Her three-point play allowed
the Jayhawks a cushion, albeit
a small one, at a time when the
Redbirds were slicing into their
lead. That play, the one that had
everyone in Allen Fieldhouse on
their feet, highlighted a night in
which McCray scored 31 points
and grabbed six rebounds.
When my teammates know that
Im excited, they feed off of me,
McCray said. In the second half,
I think I put them on my shoul-
ders.
McCray scored 22 points after
halftime and helped Kansas build
a 16-point second-half lead. But
Illinois State trimmed Kansas lead
throughout the second half, getting
as close as two points.
The Jayhawks struggled to
score down the stretch and fatigue
appeared to play a factor when they
couldnt get stops late in the game.
Still, Kansas found a way to
win something that probably
wouldnt have happened earlier in
the season.
Two months ago, we wouldnt
have known what to do, junior
guard Sade Morris said. But weve
learned a lot, like how much we
have to stay together when those
times get that tough.
Illinois State employed a defen-
sive strategy focused solely around
limiting the touches and disrupting
the comfort levels of McCray and
Morris.
And, in the beginning, the
approach rattled Kansas top scor-
ers, who struggled to get clean
attempts or simply hold on to the
ball.
I was somewhere else in the
beginning of the game, McCray
said. I dont know where I was at.
Enter sophomore center Krysten
Boogaard, who McCray said car-
ried Kansas in the first half.

n the first womens basketball
game in April in school his-
tory, which was played in
front of the fifth-largest crowd
in school history with a trip to
Kansas first WNIT finals on the
line, Danielle McCray was aver-
age. Well, average for her stan-
dards.
The only Kansan on a team
whose roster stretches across bor-
ders to Saskatchewan and Serbia,
its fitting the native daughter is
responsible for pushing Jayhawk
basketball across another thresh-
old.
McCray scored 31 points on
10-of-18 shooting, pulled down
six rebounds and blocked two
shots in 40 minutes. For 95 per-
cent of the country, thats the
game of a lifetime. For McCray, it
was Wednesday.
Those points raised her WNIT
scoring average by less than a
tenth of a percentage point (from
30.67 to 30.75) and its the sixth
time shes scored at least 30 points
this season.
It wasnt easy, though. McCray
had only five shot attempts at
halftime.
Kansas coach Bonnie
Henrickson said thats the ugliest
a team has made McCray play all
season. I respectfully disagree.
McCrays beauty isnt in sweet
jumpers or crossover dribbles,
although she can do both with
ease. Rather, the beauty lies
in her grit and determination
to overtake and out-muscle an
opponent.
The Olathe East grad is at
her best when shes relentlessly
attacking the defense, drawing
fouls and scoring seven points
in the first four minutes of the
second half. The 5-foot-11 guard/
forward/beast is at her best when
shes cleaning up her own mess to
put her team up six with less than
40 seconds to play.
The Jayhawks were shaken by
the Redbirds rally, but McCrays
beautifully ugly offense was the
calm that kept the ship from cap-
sizing.
After Wednesdays game,
McCray shuddered at the mere
thought of her friends on other
teams in the Big 12 and around
the country who were already
working for 2010. She realizes
only two teams in the country get
to end their season with a win,
and on Saturday Kansas can do
just that.
A championship. The thought
alone brightens McCrays eyes
and draws her body into a tightly
wound ball thats ready to explode
with excitement.
Saturday will be extra-special
for the honorable mention All-
American. Its a chance to put
her teams championship banner
in the rafters and solidify herself
as one of the best to ever don a
Kansas jersey.
Its also her first championship
game. Ever.

conferences where the kid puts
out a bunch of hats and uses
them to select his school of
choice.
Yes, you see this Duke hat here?
Watch me as I pick it up and
place it upon my head, therefore
signaling to the world that I shall
become a Dukie.
Yea, I never got that.
Like I said, Ive never been a
recruiting guy. That is, until now.
As youve probably know,
John Calipari was announced
yesterday as the next coach at
Kentucky. And as you probably
know, Calipari had three of the
top five recruits in country lined
up to go to Memphis. Those
recruits being Xavier Henry,
DeMarcus Cousins and John
Wall. Now all three recruits
will most likely reopen up their
recruitment. Lance Stephenson,
another top-10 recruit who was
thought to be leaning toward
Kansas, is still making up his
mind.
What does this all mean?
Ladies and gents, welcome to
Recruitapalooza 2009.
This chaotic, unpredictable
recruiting festival could poten-
tially last all month long. And
chances are, weve never seen
anything like it.
Heres The Morning
Brews five-minute guide to
Recruitapalooza 09.
Xavier Henry
Hometown: Oklahoma City
Position: guard
Height: 6-feet-6
The skinny:
Henrys top
two choices
were Kansas
and Memphis.
He chose
Memphis.
Why? His
brother, C.J.,
who actually
committed to Kansas a few years
ago before deciding to go play
minor league baseball, is on
the roster at Memphis. But now
Coach Cal is gone. Did we men-
tion Henrys father, Carl, played
basketball at Kansas? See, I told
you this stuff was interesting.
Prediction: Kansas
Lance StepHenSon
Hometown: Brooklyn, N.Y.
Position: guard/forward
Height: 6-feet-6
The skinny: Multiple
reports had
Stephenson
locked in on
Kansas, but
Stephenson
called off a
press con-
ference on
Tuesday and
will wait to
make his decision. I guess Lance
just didnt want to miss out on
Recruitapalooza.
Prediction: If Henry comes to
Kansas, Stephenson will prob-
ably be forced to go to one of
his other top choices, St. Johns
or Maryland.
JoHn WaLL
Hometown: Raleigh, N.C.
Position: guard
Height:
6-feet-4
The skinny:
Wall, a point
guard who
has drawn
comparisons
to Derrick
Rose, has
been sly during
the recruiting
process, but it
looked like he was
leaning toward
Memphis. Now
that Calipari has
left Graceland,
Wall could fol-
low Calipari to
Kentucky. Of
course, he had
mild interest in
Kansas, so you
never know.
Prediction:
Kentucky
DeMarcuS couSinS
Hometown: Mobile, Ala.
Position: center
Height: 6-feet-11
The skinny: Cousins, like
Wall, was heavily leaning toward
Memphis,
but he hadnt
signed with
the Tigers yet.
Cousins also
had inter-
est in Kansas
State, and
now, with for-
mer Virginia
Commonwealth coach Anthony
Grant taking the Alabama job,
theres a rumor that Cousins
may want to stay home and play
for the Crimson Tide.
Prediction: Kentucky
tHe tipping pLayer
Remember Malcolm
Gladwells book The Tipping
Point? The worldwide bestseller
discussed how social trends
move through society, and it
seems the sports world isnt
immune to this phenomenon.
Ever heard of Stephen
Strasburg? Hes the baseball
super-prospect from San Diego
State whose fastball tops out at
103 mph and who looks like he
should be on the front of the
Lucky Charms box*.
*Its an Irish thing.
Chances are youd never heard
of him until last week. But now,
Strasburg is a living, breath-
ing, smoke-throwing version of
Gladwells tipping point theory.
It started with a Sports
Illustrated feature story last
month. Soon, ESPNs media
machine jumped into the fray.
And now, it seems Strasburg
mania is taking over the baseball
world.
Strasburg, a six-foot-four, 255
pound power pitcher with com-
mand of his offspeed pitches,
struck out 133 batters in 97
innings last year as a sophomore,
including 23 in one game against
Utah.
Of course, Strasburg is being
advised by everyones favorite
super-agent, Scott Boras. And a
report last week suggested that
Boras will attempt to negotiate
a record $50 million contract
for Strasburg, who will likely go
No. 1 in MLBs amateur draft.
Apparently, nobody told Boras
about the economic recession.

Associated Press
DALLAS The police offi-
cer who pulled out his gun and
threatened an NFL player with jail
instead of allowing him inside a
hospital where his mother-in-law
was dying resigned Wednesday.
Officer Robert Powell had
been placed on paid leave pend-
ing an investigation of the March
18 incident.
I made this decision in the
hope that my resignation will allow
the Dallas Police Department, my
fellow officers and the citizens
of Dallas to better reflect on this
experience, learn from the mis-
takes made and move forward,
Powell said in a statement issued
through his attorneys.
He had stopped Houston
Texans running back Ryan Moats
SUV outside Baylor Regional
Medical Center in suburban Plano
after the vehicle rolled through a
red light.
The officer pulled out his gun
and threatened Moats with jail as
the player and his family pleaded
to be allowed to go inside the
hospital. Powell continued writing
Moats a ticket and lecturing him
even after a fellow officer con-
firmed that Moats mother-in-law
was dying.
Jonetta Collinsworth, 45, died
of breast cancer before Powell
allowed Moats to go inside the
hospital.
Powells resignation was first
reported by Dallas-Fort Worth
television station KTVT. He later
issued an apology, and Moats said
he would accept it.
I still hope to speak with the
Moats family to personally express
my deep regret, sympathy, and to
apologize for my poor judgment
and unprofessional conduct, he
said in the Wednesday statement.
He also said he wanted to apol-
ogize to his fellow officers.
Dallas police Chief David
Kunkle previously apologized to
the family and said Powell acted
inappropriately. He also lauded
Moats restraint, noting that he
did not try to seek special treat-
ment by identifying himself as an
NFL player.

BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
Coach Ritch Price wasnt happy
and he didnt hold his feelings back
from Buck Afenir, his senior cap-
tain.
He wasnt pleased with Afenirs at-
bats the last few games. The senior
catcher had failed to produce in key
at-bats during the Texas A&M series
last weekend.
Afenir wasnt scheduled to catch
Tuesdays 8-6 comeback victory, rel-
egated to a mentor role with the
younger players in the dugout. But
before the game Price decided that
Afenir would be the designated hit-
ter.
Then Afenir went 0-for-5 and
Price made sure the veteran and
Escondido, Calif., native was well
aware of how he felt.
I gave him a chance to DH
yesterday, and the quality of his at-
bats werent very good, Price said.
Basically, I got on his butt about not
being a surfer and being a baseball
player.
That clubhouse-only discussion
seemed to click with Afenir. Kansas
routed Northern Colorado 15-6
Wednesday with Afenir accounting
for two hits in two at-bats with five
RBI, the most by any Jayhawk this
season.
Weve had a couple midweek
performances where weve come out
flat, Afenir said. Today was good
for us because we came out with a
lot of energy and it showed. Scoring
a lot of runs, doing a lot of good
things.
With Kansas struggling to produce
with runners in scoring position,
the brunt of those troubles fell on
Afenir. As the cleanup hitter, Afenir is
expected to drive runs homes when
players get on base in front of him.
Afenir said it was a relief to finally
produce in those situations after
struggling the last few games.
It was nice not only for myself
but for the team, he said. Usually,
I come up in those RBI spots. I pro-
duced today.
Price said he was very pleased
with Afenirs quick turnaround.
Kansas is a young team and if its
number-four and number-five hit-
ters, sophomore third baseman Tony
Thompson, arent producing, Prices
team isnt scoring many runs.
If Thompson and him dont pro-
duce, we dont score, Price said.
Thats their job in the middle of that
lineup to be productive.
This is only Thompsons second
full season starting, and, although
he is off to a fast start, he relies on
Afenir to help bring home as many
runs as possible. Without the pres-
sure of batting fourth, Thompson
leads the Jayhawks in batting aver-
age, home runs and RBI.
But Thompson knows this team
is only half of what it can be without
Afenirs bat one spot ahead of him.
I thought the middle of our
order did a great job today, especial-
ly Buck, Thompson said. Coming
up there with runners in scoring
position and driving them in any
way he could. You cant ask for much
more than that.

Weston White/KANSAN
Junior shortstop David Narodowski crushes a double to right-center feld during the frst inning against Northern Colorado. Narodowski had three runs and two RBIs in the Jayhawks 15-6 vic-
tory against the Bears.
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
David Narodowski drew a full
count over ten pitches, leading off
the first inning for Kansas. Then,
on the 11th pitch of the at-bat,
he roped a double to right-center
field. Things only got worse after
that for Northern Colorado starter
Cameron Tallman in Wednesday
nights 15-6 Kansas victory at
Hoglund Ballpark.
That helps us out a ton,
sophomore third baseman Tony
Thompson said. It lets us know
everything they have. Youre prob-
ably going to see everything when
you have that good of an at-bat.
Narodowskis leadoff double
extended his hit streak to 11 games
and the Jayhawks abused Tallman
who left the game after eight
hitters, five runs and one out
on their way to their biggest first
inning of the season. It stole the
lead away from the Bears, who had
jumped out 2-0 on the strength of
Jarrod Berggrens two-run home
run to start the game off.
Junior second baseman Robby
Price tried to sacrifice bunt
Narodowski over to third and
ended up beating the throw for an
infield single. Brian Heere followed
that with a walk and then back-to-
back doubles from Buck Afenir and
Thompson opened the game up for
Kansas. The first five Jayhawk hit-
ters to come to the plate ended up
crossing it in the first.
That was huge, Thompson
said. We need to come out, espe-
cially after they score two runs in
the first, and put some numbers on
the board, too. Get some runs for
the pitching staff to work with.
Afenir and Thompson didnt
stop after inning one, though, and
ended up combined for nine RBIs
in the win, more than half of the
Jayhawks 15.
We come up in some spots, and
I think that happens just with how
the top of the order plays, Afenir
said. You can count on David and
Robby and Heere and whoever else
is in the mix up there to do some
things and get on base. As long
as those guys are hitting good its
our job to knock them around the
bags.
The Jayhawks, even after their
five-run first inning, never let off
the throttle, being held scoreless
in only two of the teams trips to
the plate.
One of the things we talked
about after the first inning was
Dont stop scoring, it could take
15 runs to win today, Coach Ritch
Price said. We have not done a
very good job of that, of keeping
the foot on the opponents throat
when weve got them down. Today,
I thought we kept swinging the
bats, kept having good at-bats.
The 15-run explosion on offense
was complemented by a solid start-
ing performance by junior right-
hander Brett Bollman, 3-0 with
a 1.80 ERA. After giving up the
two-run bomb in the first, Bollman
buckled down and didnt surrender
another run in five more innings
of work. He worked his way out of
a jam in the third after giving up
singles to the first two hitters of
the inning.
After a pop fly and a strike out,
Northern Colorado catcher Seth
Budde rapped a ball up the mid-
dle off of Bollmans glove. Instead
of allowing the Bears to load the
bases, though, Narodowski made
a great play in the field to go with
his offensive success, bare handing
and firing to first just in time to
nab Budde.
Ritch, who just moved Bollman to
a starting role a few weeks ago, said
the former reliever was absolutely
huge for Kansas against Northern
Colorados potent offense.
That was crucial, Ritch said.
They can really swing the bats,
if you look at their numbers, its
impressive.

The Jayhawks moved to
14-0 at Hoglund Ballpark this
season, which makes them the
only Big 12 team not to lose a
game at home in a conference
that has been exceptional at
defending home turf. Teams
in the Big 12 have a winning

Sophomore center Krysten Boogaard.
More than any other Jayhawk, Krysten Boogaards
season has been flled with ups and downs. First,
she was injured at the beginning of the year. Then,
she struggled for large stretches during Big 12 play.
Now, shes pieced together two solid performances,
including 18 points and seven rebounds against
Illinois State. Boogaards inside presence allowed
Kansas to maintain a lead in the second half.

Sure, Cirone scored 24 points, but Illinois States
leading scorer struggled to get going on ofense.
She made just 7-of-24 attempts and missed all six of
her three-pointers. In the fnal game of her deco-
rated collegiate career, Cirone certainly would have
liked to play better.
IT WAS OVER WHEN ...
GAME TO REMEMBER ...
GAME TO FORGET ...
STAT OF THE NIGHT ...
Junior forward Danielle McCray grabbed her own rebound and
completed a three-point play to give Kansas a 68-62 lead. Up until that
point, Illinois State had been cutting into Kansas lead. But McCrays
play allowed the Jayhawks to maintain a somewhat comfortable lead
and re-energized the crowd inside Allen Fieldhouse.
12. Tats the diference in turnovers between Kansas (18) and Illinois
State (6). Tose turnovers allowed the Redbirds to cut into the Jayhawks
lead and make the fnish interesting.

FIRST HALF
19:26 Sophomore Krysten
Boogaard secured good post po-
sition and junior Sade Morris fed
it inside to her. Using the extra
roomprovided by her four-inch
height advantage over Illinois
States Ashleen Bracey, Boogaard
banked it home. She fnished the
half with eight points on four of
four shooting.
9:40 Illinois State star Kristi
Cirone caught it underneath the
basket with her back to the goal,
but she was able to spin it softly
over her head of the glass to give
the Redbirds a three point lead.
The Illinois State crowd, who trav-
elled well, reacted accordingly.
4:02 Freshman Aishah
Sutherland grabbed the post
entry pass, turned and kissed it
of the glass to put the Jayhawks
up 25-19. At the time, it was the
biggest lead of the half for either
teamand prompted a timeout
fromthe Illinois State bench.
SECOND HALF
16:20 Junior Danielle Mc-
Cray drove into the paint, but she
ran into a couple Illinois State
defenders. It looked like she
would be unable to get a shot
up. But, like McCray has done all
season, she drewthe foul and
found a way to sneak the ball in
for the basket. McCray converted
the three-point play to put the
Jayhawks up 44-28.
9:20 Illinois State had cut
the Jayhawk lead to single-digits.
Who stepped up? It wasnt too
hard to guess: McCray. She held
the ball for the entire possession,
drove past her defender on the
wing and fnished the easy two.
:02 Sutherland used her
length to bother Illinois State
inbounder Kenyatta Shelton,
and the Illinois State desparation
attempt at a game-tying three
ended with the ball fying over all
Redbird players and into the arms
of Kansas junior LaChelda Jacobs.
Jacobs tossed it to McCray, who
chucked it into the air in celebra-
tion. 75-72, Jayhawks.

FANS SHOW UP
Never in coach Bonnie Henrick-
sons fve-year tenure has Kansas
played so late in the postseason.
And never in that stretch have so
many fans flled Allen Fieldhouse
to watch Henricksons teamplay.
The announced crowd was 8,360,
and those fans became loud as
the score tightened down the
stretch.
People love basketball around
here and they appreciate players
who work hard and are success-
ful around here, coach Bonnie
Henrickson.
MCCRAY NEARS WNIT
RECORD
Once again, junior forward
Danielle McCray turned in an-
other noteworthy performance,
scoring 31 points and grabbing
six rebounds.
That total marked the third
consecutive game in which Mc-
Cray scored at least 30 points,
while also moving her closer to
the WNIT record books. McCray
needs just seven points to be-
come the all-time leading scorer
in the WNIT.
The current scoring leader is
Wisconsins Jolene Anderson,
who totaled 129 points in 2007.
LAST GAME FOR
SENIORS
Saturdays championship
game will mark the fnal game for
Kansas three seniors and junior
Rebecca Feickert, who is graduat-
ing early and will not return to
the basketball team.
Seniors Ivana Catic, Katie Smith
and Marija Zinic will join Feickert
in playing their fnal games in
Kansas uniforms.
Imdefnitely going to have to
spend some time to prepare for
that but not let it infuence me in
a bad way, Catic said.
Jayson Jenks
BY CLARK GOBLE
cgoble@kansan.com
Freshman Aishah Sutherland
was feeling so confident with her
game Wednesday night that she
thought about performing a feat
not attempted too often in wom-
ens basketball after picking up a
steal in the open floor.
With less than two minutes left,
the score at 63-59 and only open
court in front of her, Sutherland
thought about doing the unthink-
able.
I didnt think anyone was
behind me and I slowed down to
gather myself, Sutherland said.
And I was going to dunk it.
Although an Illinois State
defender knocked the ball out of
her hands, it was obvious that
Sutherland was playing with con-
fidence and it wasnt just her.
Sophomore center Krysten
Boogaard and Sutherland com-
bined to shoot 10-for-12 from the
field. They also combined for 14
rebounds and six blocked shots in
a 75-72 victory over Illinois State
in the semifinals of the Womens
NIT.
The Jayhawks looked inside
early as they have all season, and
Boogaard responded. Within the
first two minutes of the game,
Boogaard already had two rela-
tively easy layups from post-entry
passes. Boogaard said it was defi-
nitely part of the game plan to give
the post players opportunities.
I knewI needed to step up and
be a presence inside, Boogaard
said.
At times, coach Bonnie
Henrickson even played the pair
together, a rare sight consider-
ing Sutherland primarily plays
the same center position that
Boogaard does.
It creates a lot of opportuni-
ties, Boogaard said. Its fun to
play with her. Shes an athletic
post.
Sutherland said the reason
they havent played together much
before was because sometimes she
and Boogaard didnt communi-
cate on the floor.
Tonight we did that well,
Sutherland said. Its good when
we can play together because its
just a good turnout.
Even when one of the posts
missed, which was rare, the other
was there to clean up. With just
more than 13 minutes to go in
the game, Boogaard drove into
the paint and missed her first shot
of the contest. Sutherland slipped
into the weakside, rebounded the
miss and converted the easy put-
back. Henrickson said the play
was huge.
The duo was also a huge pres-
ence on the defensive end. Both
finished with three blocks each
and altered many more. Illinois
State star Kristi Cirone simply
couldnt deal with their length
inside. She finished 7-for-24 from
the field, but a lot of her makes
came in the final five minutes of
the game.
Henricksonsaid her teamneeds
their post players to play well for
themto succeed.
You cant play and screen
as much as we do and have no
chance to throw it in front of the
rim, Henrickson said. Krysten
and Aishah give us that chance.
Edited by Carly Halvorson
of the defensive attention drawn
by McCray and Morris. While
Illinois State focused on the
perimeter, Boogaard continued
to work near the basket. She
scored 18 points and grabbed
seven rebounds.
She got her confidence back,
Morris said. She knows shes
unstoppable when she sits on the
low block. Shes just been a lot
more confident.
But as the game wore on it
became blatantly clear that
McCray wanted to put Kansas
on her back. And thats exactly
what she did despite logging 40
minutes after playing 39 minutes
against New Mexico on Monday
night.
Shes an amazing play-
er, Illinois State coach Robin
Pingeton said. What a talented
player. At times I thought she was
getting a little fatigued but she
got her second, third and fourth
winds.
Now, McCray and the
Jayhawks enter the final game of
their season with the chance to
finish what few thought was pos-
sible just months ago. Kansas will
play South Florida for the WNIT
championship at 1 p.m., Saturday
in Allen Fieldhouse.
We talked about not celebrat-
ing the fact that we were in the
WNIT but we would celebrate
when we won a championship,
Henrickson said. And weve put
ourselves in a position to have
that opportunity.

the Allen Fieldhouse air and
jumped into the middle of her
teammates.
McCray is in the middle of
everything for Kansas. And thats
exactly how she wanted it.
The junior admits she had big
plans when she signed to play in
her home state, even comparing
her ambitions to those of Courtney
Paris at Oklahoma.
She came to Oklahoma to do
something for that program, and I
feel the same way, McCray said. I
came to Kansas to be a difference-
maker.
Its about creating a beautiful
legacy, and shell get a chance on
Saturday. All she has to do is be
average.

R.B. FALLSTROM
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS Cardinals third
baseman Troy Glaus is expected to
miss at least two months following
a setback in his rehabilitation from
arthroscopic shoulder surgery in
January.
Glaus was originally expected to
miss only a few weeks of the regular
season. But on Wednesday, St. Louis
said Glaus, who hit .270 last season
with 27 homers and 99 RBIs, will be
re-evaluated around June 1.
Its just not responding as
quickly as wed hoped, Glaus said
in Jupiter, Fla. It obviously didnt
go as smoothly or uneventfully as
we had hoped.
David Freese is the top candidate
to start at third with Glaus out.
The 25-year-old rookie, acquired
from the Padres for Jim Edmonds
in 2007, hit .306 with 26 homers
and 91 RBIs at Triple-A Memphis
last season.
General manager John Mozeliak
told The Associated Press that
Glaus might have pushed too hard
in his rehab schedule. He said
Glaus progress would be assessed
in a few weeks.
Sometimes, being overly opti-
mistic can hurt you, Mozeliak said.
When a player is aggressive trying
to move, sometimes it can affect
him.
Glaus began throwing, hitting
off a tee and fielding ground balls
midway through spring training,
but stopped after soreness lin-
gered longer than expected. He
was examined in California last
week by Dr. Lewis Yocum, who
performed the surgery.
Glaus will be in St. Louis for
opening day on Monday, then
travel to Phoenix to continue his
rehab. Hell be working with physi-
cal therapist Keith Kocher, who
helped Glaus rehab from shoulder
surgery in 2004.
A new set of eyes and a new set
of hands can maybe figure some-
thing that, I dont want to say was
missed, but maybe something that
wasnt recognized, Glaus said.
Earlier in spring training, Glaus
said the shoulder injury bothered
him most of the last two months of
last season. The Cardinals tried to
avoid surgery, administering a cor-
tisone injection during the season
and another in the offseason before
medical personnel determined the
shoulder wasnt responding.
The surgery repaired the labrum
and in Glaus words, smoothed
down some rough edges in the
shoulder from an injury that doc-
tors believe was a result of ordinary
wear and tear. The Cardinals will
end up paying for the delay.
We ran through the course
of treatment as you should and
ultimately, unfortunately, the pain
didnt go away, Glaus said.

Stallworth charged
with manslaughter
NFL
Cleveland Browns wide receiver
killed pedestrian while driving drunk
BY CURT ANDERSON
Associated Press
MIAMI Cleveland Browns
wide receiver Donte Stallworth
was charged Wednesday with
killing a pedestrian last month
while driving drunk in Miami,
according to people familiar with
the case.
Two people said an arrest war-
rant charging the 28-year-old
Stallworth with DUI manslaugh-
ter will be filed Wednesday in
the March 14 accident that killed
59-year-old Mario Reyes. The
people requested anonymity
because the charges havent been
announced.
The charge carries a pos-
sible 15-year prison sentence.
Stallworths blood-alcohol level
after the crash was .12, well
above Floridas legal limit of
.08, according to results of a
blood test. Stallworth will also
be charged with DUI, according
to the people informed about
the case.
Stallworth, who is expected
to surrender in court Thursday,
released a statement last month
saying he was grief-stricken
over the accident.
A Miami Beach police report
said that Reyes was not in a
crosswalk on busy MacArthur
Causeway when he was struck
by the Bentley luxury car driven
by Stallworth. The construction
crane operator was trying to
catch a bus home after finishing
his shift around 7:15 a.m.
The report also quoted
Stallworth saying he flashed his
lights at Reyes in an attempted
warning and that he was driving
about 50 mph in a 40 mph zone.

Royals trade frst baseman, outfelder Gload to Marlins
MLB
Team will pay majority of his $1.9 million guaranteed contract
ASSOCiATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
Kansas City Royals traded first
baseman and outfielder Ross
Gload to the Florida Marlins on
Wednesday for a player to be
named and cash.
The Royals have agreed to pay
most of Gloads $1.9 million guar-
anteed contract. General manager
Dayton Moore said the Royals
would receive a minor league
player. The Marlins will also get
a player in the deal.
Also, the Royals optioned
right-hander Brian Bannister to
Triple-A Omaha and released
right-hander Joel Peralta. Left-
hander John Bale, who is recov-
ering from thyroid surgery, was
placed on the 15-day disabled list
retroactive to March 27.
And manager Trey Hillman
said Sidney Ponson would be the
fourth starter and work the home
opener April 10 against the New
York Yankees.
Left-hander Horacio Ramirez
will be the No. 5 starter but would
also work out of the bullpen.
Gload hit .280 in 22 games for
the Royals in spring training. He
was acquired from the White Sox
in 2006 and hit .273 in a career-
high 122 games last season.
It is always shocking, said
Gload, who hit .280 with two
home runs and 12 RBIs in 50 at-
bats in spring training.
As long as there is a uniform
on the other side theres an oppor-
tunity, he said. I think I can fit
in well with a National League
ball club. Ideally, I would have
liked to been here. I wish there
was a spot.
Gload was drafted by the
Marlins in the 13th round of the
1997 amateur draft. He was trad-
ed to the Chicago Cubs in 2000.
Hes also played for Colorado and
the Chicago White Sox.
Gload lost the Royals first base
job when they acquired Mike
Jacobs in an Oct. 30 trade with the
Marlins for reliever Leo Nunez.
NFL
Broncos coach McDaniels
chases of QB Cutler
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Josh
McDaniels and Jay Cutler seemed
like a perfect ft the rocket-
armed passer meets the ofensive
guru who turned Matt Cassel from
a career backup into one of the
leagues top quarterbacks.
Instead, McDaniels begins his
coaching regime with the Denver
Broncos by chasing of his fran-
chise quarterback before he even
saw Cutler throw a single pass.
Team owner Pat Bowlen an-
nounced this week he will allow
his new brain trust of McDaniels,
32, and general manager Brian
Xanders, 37, to begin discussions
with other teams in an efort to
accommodate his request to be
traded.
The Broncos insist they tried to
call a truce, but Cutler wouldnt
pick up his phone. As has been
the case, Xanders and McDaniels
declined comment Wednesday
through a team spokesman.
Cutler became angry once
he learned that McDaniels and
the Broncos showed interest in
acquiring Cassel, who McDaniels
groomed in New England last sea-
son after Tom Brady went down in
the opener with a knee injury.
Cassel ended up being dealt to
Kansas City, but Cutler was infuri-
ated when he found out about the
trade talks. His distrust in McDan-
iels only grew in two subsequent
meetings that were designed to
clear the air.

Valerie George, senior pitcher, pitches in the game against Missouri onWednesday night. Kansas lost the frst game 8-0 but won the second
4-1 on a walk-of home run by junior frst baseman Amanda Jobe.
Not lost in the Jayhawks late
inning rally was the strong effort
from junior pitcher Sarah Vertelka.
She worked seven innings, allow-
ing only five hits and one run to
the Tigers, who entered the game
leading the Big 12 with a .334 team
average.
That was a very good effort from
Sarah against a Missouri team with
a lot of pop, Bunge said. She did
what she needs to do to be success-
ful she kept the ball down.
With the comeback, Kansas
(11-20, 1-3) got their first confer-
ence victory, as well as a boost in
confidence.
This was big for both our overall
psyche and our momentum, Bunge
said. This was a huge win for us.
Jobe agreed with her coach.
Weve been struggling lately, no
one can deny it, she said, but we
can really build off of this win.
Edited by Susan Melgren
KANSAS CONTAINS LEADOFF HITTER
The Jayhawks did a solid job containing the
Tigers speedy leadof hitter Rhea Taylor. The
sophomore outfelder had only two hits in her
nine at bats, but she still made her presence felt
with two steals and one run scored.
BUNGE NEARS MILESTONE
With Kansas walk-of victory in game two, coach
Tracy Bunge is now only one victory away from
400 as coach at Kansas. She will have a chance
to achieve that milestone on Saturday, when the
Jayhawks will play Texas Tech.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Everything seems to favor Scott
Dixon in his bid to win a second
straight IRL IndyCar Series cham-
pionship.
Helio Castroneves, the 2008
runner-up who pushed Dixon to
last seasons final checkered flag,
will miss at least the first few
races of 2009
while defending
himself against
federal tax eva-
sion charges.
And 2007
series champion
Dario Franchitti,
Dixons new
teammate at
Target Chip
Ganassi Racing
and considered by many his major
challenger, may take a while to
shake off the rust after a failed bid
to transition to NASCAR last year.
Dixon, meanwhile, heads into
the season-opening race at St.
Petersburg on Sunday with the
same strong team that took him to
his second series title last season.
But the New Zealander laughed
when a reporter said it looks like
he has an easier road this year to
another IndyCar championship.
Yeah, right, he said, shaking
his head. To try and repeat 2008
is going to be very tough. ... We
definitely are going to have a tar-
get on our backs and its going to
be a hard season.
Its a shame that Helio is hav-
ing to go through this and will
miss the start of the season, but
there are plenty of drivers, includ-
ing my teammate, that are going
to make this one of the most
competitive seasons ever in our
series.
Castroneves, the personable
Brazilian as well known for win-
ning Dancing with the Stars as
for his two Indianapolis 500 vic-
tories, is also at risk of having his
racing career short.
Franchitti, whose NASCAR
experiment ended abruptly last
summer due to a lack of sponsor-
ship, is confident he can get up to
speed in an IndyCar fast enough
to be a threat for a second cham-
pionship.
I felt good at the (offseason)
tests, he said. It came back
quickly and, being with this team,
with all the resources that Chip
gives them, is a big
help, too.
Franchitti, who
won his title with
Andretti Green
Racing, also expects
a hard-fought cham-
pionship battle from
former AGR team-
mate Tony Kanaan,
Team Penske drivers
Ryan Briscoe and
Will Power the at-least tempo-
rary replacement for Castroneves
and possibly several others.
Unlike the chaotic start to
last season, which began just six
weeks after the unexpected uni-
fication of IndyCar and longtime
rival Champ Car, the drivers and
teams that made that transition
now have all the latest equipment
and a years worth of experience
with the cars and the tracks.
I know some
of the drivers
and teams who
made the tran-
sition last year
from Champ
Car had to figure
everything out
because it was
so new, particu-
larly the ovals,
Franchitti said.
But theyre very good and I wont
be surprised if somebody like
Newman/Haas/Lanigan (Racing),
with (Graham Rahal) and (Robert)
Doornbos, are very competitive.
I think more than ever this year
it will be about winning races,
said Kanaan, last years third-place
finisher and the 2004 series cham-
pion. (Last year) Helio showed
how consistent you can be and
still not win a championship, and
Dixon showed that winning races
is the best way. Its a combination,
but winning races this year is going
to be more important.
Dixon matched the season-
record of six victories in 2008,
but didnt wrap up the title until
the final points race of the year as
Castroneves applied the pressure.
The Brazilian gave Dixon a scare
with both of his season wins, four
runner-up finishes and a third all
coming in the final seven races of
the season.
Lack of consistency was a prob-
lem for AGR last year, with its
four drivers combining for just
two wins, 21 top-five finishes and
40 top-10s in 68 starts.
But, for the first time since
2005, the teams lineup returns
intact, led by Kanaan. He is joined
by Danica Patrick, coming off a
year in which racings glamor girl
finally got her long-awaited first
victory and improved to sixth
place in the points, 22-year-old
Marco Andretti, son of team co-
owner and longtime driving great
Michael Andretti, and 2008 rookie
of the year Hideki Mutoh.
Continuity is definitely a nice
thing, said Michael
Andretti, whose team
has won three titles in
the last five seasons.
Theres no adjust-
ing going on. Thats
always good because
you can hit it strong
right away. Everybody
knows everybody.
Thats definitely a pos-
itive for us.
Kanaan expects big improve-
ment from everyone.
Last year was a year we could
say, Oh, theyre young, theyre
learning, but now its time to do it,
Kanaan said. We did not deliver as
much as we should have last year. I
think we failed on the drivers side
to get it done. We talked, and this
year were saying, No excuses.
