As rain fell early Sunday morn-
ing, six members of Tau Kappa
Epsilon sat inside a makeshift card-
board shelter listening to music,
drawing on the walls and chatting
with each other. It was their way of
raising awareness of homelessness.
From noon Friday to noon
Sunday, 26 members of Tau Kappa
Epsilon accepted food and mon-
etary donations while staying in a
cardboard shelter they built out-
side of the Hy-Vee at Kasold and
Clinton Parkway.
Kris Nielsen, Leawood junior
and Tau Kappa Epsilon member,
said they received approximately
500 cans of food and $400 in dona-
tions. The food and money will go
to Harvesters and the Lawrence
Community Shelter.
Nielsen said the fraternity had
never done a project like this and
was happy with the turnout. He
said the fraternity would proba-
bly hold the event every semester.
Members took eight- to nine-hour
shifts staying in the box, with five
or six people on each shift.
After being in there for eight
or nine hours, it started setting in

Lawrence police were called
to Burrito King, 900 Illinois St.,
at about 2 a.m. Sunday after an
altercation in which two students
were victims of battery.
The victims and suspect
approached each other in the
restaurants parking lot after the
victims vehicle was bumped in the
drive-thru lane by the suspect.
The suspect got out of his car
and punched and knocked to the
ground the first victim, a 21-year-
old male student, according to a
statement from Capt. Paul Fellers
Sunday morning.
The suspect then removed a
handgun from the waistband of his
pants and hit the second victim, a
19-year-old female student, in the
face.
The suspect fired one shot in
close proximity to the victims,
Fellers said, but did not shoot
either victim. He then fled the
crime

Whether youre straight, gay,
lesbian or bisexual, Marshall Miller
thinks he can tell you a thing or
two about the female orgasm.
Miller, a sex educator from
Albany, N.Y., travels around the
country with his wife, Dorian Solot,
and fellow sex educator Melissa
Lopez to discus sex topics. Miller
and Lopez will be presenting their
program I Heart Female Orgasm
at 7 tonight in the Kansas Union
Ballroom.
Students are sometimes
surprised that we really do cover
it all, Miller said. The G-spot,
multiple orgasms, how to have
your first orgasm, how to help
your girlfriend and its really
funny too.
Miller said I Heart Female
Orgasm presented both a male
and female perspective
by presenting
i n f o r ma t i o n
with a female
educator.
St ude nt
U n i o n
Act i vi t i es
had initially
schedul ed
I Heart
F e m a l e
Orgasm for
March during
National Womens
History Month, but
scheduling conflicts didnt keep
SUA from making sure I Heart
Female Orgasm came to the
University.
Jenna Morgan, SUA member
and Wichita sophomore, said SUA
wanted to bring the program to
the University because it wanted
to influence healthy sexual
relationships.
I feel like this is a topic that
wouldnt have been talked about
in high school, Morgan
said.
She said she
thought the topic
of orgasms was
an appropriate
subject for
college-aged
students.
W e
believe being
knowledgeable
about sex is a
good thing, Lopez
said. Some students
will wait until theyre married
to put that knowledge to use and
others are hoping to put it to use
right away.
Miller said high school sex
education programs usually
discussed anatomy, reproduction
and disease but rarely addressed
pleasure.
Thats pretty sad, given that
pleasure is a core part of sex for
most people, he said.
Miller organized the program
when he and his wife visited
campuses to talk about sex and
received an overwhelming number
of questions about orgasms.
It feels like people are starving
for honest, down-to-earth
information, Miller said. Not the
impossible acrobatic sex positions
you see in magazines.
The I Heart Female Orgasm
program addresses how to make
healthy sexual decisions and covers
a variety of subjects related to
female anatomy, media messages
and societal pressures about having
orgasms.
Orgasms are probably part of
your life, or will be in the future,
and well have tips for you, Miller
said.

student body vice president-elect May davis, left, president-elect Mason heilman, center, and chris kaufman listen to Hearing Board Chairman Alex Herman respond to Kaufmans motion to dismiss a complaint against United
Students Sunday evening in the Kansas Union. The complaint alleged that two members of the United Students coalition attempted to buy votes by ofering free beer to students at The Wheel during last weeks Student Senate elections.
BY BRIANNE PFANNENSTIEL
bpfannenstiel@kansan.com
Though the Student Senate
elections ended Thursday, the
complaints continued among
coalitions as the elections
commission hearing board met
Sunday night to hear multiple
charges filed against United
Students.
Alex Porte, Great Falls, Va.,
junior and former Envision vice-
presidential candidate, filed four
violations against United Students
last week. Two of the four charges
were dismissed by the hearing
board and the remaining two
resulted in a total of $350 in fines
for United Students.
I wanted to have the elections
commission know that United
Students was attempting to steal
and hijack the election, Porte said.
That was my main goal for filing
the violations.
The first complaint claimed
several United Students members
had purchased a keg at The Wheel,
507 W. 14th St., and were urging
students to take free beer and then
vote for United Students on laptops
that were present.
In the complaint, Porte said this
was a violation of the election code,
which states that no candidate is
permitted to view a computer
screen while a student is voting on
that computer. The code also states
that candidates
are not allowed
to knowingly
campaign or
c ommuni c at e
with anyone in
the process of
voting.
Two students
testified that
they had seen
United Students
members with
laptops and a keg at the bar, but
because they said they hadnt
actually seen students voting, the
elections commission found that
there was not sufficient evidence
provided to convict
United Students of
coercion.
Thomas Knutzen,
Lawrence third-
year law student
and hearing board
member, moved to
dismiss a second
complaint that three
members of United
Students solicited
votes door to door in
Oliver Hall, which is not allowed in
Senate campaigning.
The commission voted 3-1 to
dismiss the charge because of a
stipulation in the elections code,
which requires the presidential and
vice-presidential candidates know
and approve of the actual offense
in order to be held liable.
Alex Herman, Hays second year
law student and hearing board
chairman, said the commission
believed Mason Heilman, student
body president-elect, and May
Davis, vice president-elect, should
be held liable for the actions of
members of their coalition, but
united students fned $350
I wanted to have the
elections commission
know that United Stu-
dents was attempting
to steal the election.

BY KEVIN HARDY
khardy@kansan.com
Several hundred students and
community members gathered
Sunday in the Kansas Union for
free food, live music and lessons in
sustainable living.
The event Potter Lake
Unplugged, originally planned
to take place next to Potter Lake,
was held in the ballroom of the
Kansas Union because of forecasted
rain. The Student Union Activities-
sponsored event promoted aware-
ness of environmental issues.
The event was part of From Blue
to Green: Conserve KU, an umbrel-
la organization for the Universitys
environmental groups. Tyler Enders,
Leawood sophomore, led the effort
of collaborating with several cam-
pus environmental groups. Enders
said the organization was able to
orchestrate 26 different events in
the 12 days leading up to Earth Day
on April 22.
We sat down and started throw-
ing out every idea possible, and
didnt say no to anything, Enders
said.
Enders said many KU students
wanted to be more environmentally
conscious, but either didnt know
how to or were sometimes deterred
by inconvenience.
A lot of people want to recycle
their can of Coke, but they dont
see a recycling bin around. So their
intentions are right, but youre still
confined by the infrastructure,
Enders said. So we want to address
that at the policy level and fix the
infrastructure.
Doug Brady, Tecumseh sopho-
more and SUA member, said mem-
bers of SUA planned the event sev-
eral months ago to showcase ways
that individuals could make less
of an environmental impact. Brady
said SUA was working with the
Unions and KU Dining Services to
operate more efficiently.
The whole event is really push-
ing buying locally and sustainabil-
ity, Brady said.
In addition to free live music,
about a dozen student groups and
companies were present to tell stu-
dents how to make less of an envi-
ronmental impact. SUA gave away
potted plants, canvas grocery bags
and energy-efficient light bulbs.
Its a great opportunity to learn
whats going on and see how to get
involved, Brady said.
Brylie Oxley, Overland Park
freshman, said he heard about the
event through his roommates and
came to learn how to live a greener
life.
I appreciate the diversity of
groups that are out teaching differ-
ent ways to live efficiently and with
a smaller impact, Oxley said.
Local artists Truckstop
Honeymoon, Rusty Scott and
Hidden Pictures performed at the
event. SUA used a biodiesel genera-
tor to power the bands amplifiers.
Brady said the bands were support-
ive of the cause.
I think they were willing to
accept less money than normal
because its something they care
about, Brady said.
Melinda Dreesman, Kansas City,
Mo., freshman, attended the event
for all the free giveaways. She said it
was worthwhile because she learned
ways to reduce her environmental
impact.
I was surprised that so many
people showed up. It was really
cool, Dreesman said.
Neil Steiner, Tulsa, Okla., senior,
showcased the work of the Student
Rain Garden, currently under con-
struction at the Ambler Student
Recreation Fitness Center. The
group built a collection system to
capture and move rain water from
the roof to the garden surrounding
the recreation center. The group
will plant 22 species of native plants,
2500 plants total.
Steiner said the group hoped to
build more collection systems at
local restaurants and community
buildings. The garden will official-
ly open April 22, with volunteers
planting from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Its kind of an unprecedented
thing with student involvement and
sustainability on campus, Steiner
said.
Enders said that environmental
issues would still be important after
Earth Day and that environmental
groups would continue to promote
awareness and education.
I think this is best described as a
movement, Enders said.

NEW YORK Exxon Mobil
Corp. unseated Wal-Mart Stores
Inc. in the 2009 Fortune 500 list,
shrugging off the oil price bubble
and weathering what the maga-
zine called the worst year ever
for the countrys largest publicly
traded companies.
Fortunes closely watched list,
released Sunday, ranked compa-
nies by their revenues in 2008.
Irving, Texas-based Exxon took
in $442.85 billion in revenue last
year, up almost 19 percent from
2007. The company also raked in
the biggest annual profit, earning
$45.2 billion.
Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-
Mart had held the top spot for
six of the last seven years but
fell to No. 2 this year. Still, the
retail giants 2008 revenue climbed
7 percent to $405.6 billion, as
the battered economy sent more
consumers searching for bargains.
The worlds largest retailer took in
$13.4 billion in annual profit, an
increase of about 5 percent.
Although it may have been a
good year for Exxon and Wal-
Mart, 2008 was far from rosy for
most of remaining companies on
the list. Overall earnings plunged
85 percent to $98.9 billion from
$645 billion in 2007, the biggest
one-year decline in the 55-year
history of the Fortune 500 list.
America is getting used to
the sound of bubbles bursting,
Fortune said.
Energy companies continued to
dominate many of the top posi-
tions, as last summers skyrocket-
ing oil and gas prices more than
compensated for their plunge later
that fall. Chevron Corp. held on
to third place with $263.16 bil-
lion in revenue, up 25 percent.
ConocoPhillips climbed one place
to fourth, with $230.76 billion in
revenue.
General Electric Co., the diverse
conglomerate whose troubled
financial arm has been weighing
on recent results, rose one notch to
fifth. Battered automaker General
Motors Corp. fell two spots to
sixth, as revenue fell 18 percent
and losses totaled $30.86 billion
amid the imploding car market.
Crosstown rival Ford Motor Co.
followed, with $146.28 billion in
revenue.
Telecom giant AT&T Inc. moved
up two notches to take eighth
place, with Hewlett-Packard Co.
and Valero Energy Corp. round-
ing out the top 10.
Among the hardest hit in 2008
were financial services companies,
Fortune said. Banks, securities
firms and insurers took cumu-
lative losses of $213.4 billion,
accounting for almost 70 percent
of the total dollar decline from the
peak year of 2006, the magazine
said. Citigroup Inc. and Bank of
America Corp., which were No.
8 and No. 9 respectively last year,
each slipped a couple notches
from the Top 10.
Thirty-eight companies fell off
this years list, including financial
firms Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc., Washington Mutual Inc.
and Wachovia Corp., all of which
have either gone under or been
acquired by rival banks.
Engineering and construction
company URS Corp. moved the
most up the list, leaping 185 spots
to No. 264. But the title of big-
gest loser went to AIG Corp. The
insurer, which has received more
than $180 billion in government
bailout aid since last fall, fell 232
spots to 245 in this years ranking.

ering we have an iPod.
Stephen Elder, case manag-
er and monitor at the Lawrence
Community Shelter, said the shelter
was thankful for any kind of help it
received. He said the shelter didnt
receive much federal funding, so it
relied on donations and volunteer
work from the community. He said
the fraternitys method of fundrais-
ing was helpful, if untraditional.
Anything that anybody does to
get the awareness up is a good
thing, Elder said. Even if it seems
a little silly, it works.
Tau Kappa Epsilon contacted
Hy-Vee about building the shelter
and taking donations outside the
store.
Scott Kahler, Hy-Vee general
manager, said the store agreed to
help the fraternity because it was
working for a good cause. He said
he was concerned about the event
in the beginning, but customers
were very receptive to the proj-
ect. Greir said the fraternity didnt
want to depend on the greek or
KU community for the project, but
instead involve the entire Lawrence
community.
People were just thanking us,
Nielsen said. But we were like
Really, no. Thank you for what
youre giving.

Voters few and far between in Haitian election
BY JONATHAN M. KATZ
Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti
Clear-plastic ballot boxes were
nearly as empty as Port-au-Princes
unusually deserted streets Sunday
as few voters turned out for Senate
elections in which candidates from
a major populist party were not
allowed to run.
The vote had been seen as a key
step in the development of Haitian
democracy and in President Rene
Prevals bid to retool the constitu-
tion and fight poverty. The inter-
national community gave Haitis
government $12.5 million to coor-
dinate the elections, including $3
million from the U.S.
But the vote, delayed since 2007
by political turmoil, hunger riots
and storms, drew an extremely low
turnout and occasional violence.
Haitis provisional electoral council
told reporters it had not calculated
turnout or any results as of early
evening.
Supporters of ousted former
President Jean-Bertrand Aristide,
whose Fanmi Lavalas party was
disqualified from the election by
Haitis provisional electoral coun-
cil, had urged an estimated 4 mil-
lion registered voters not to par-
ticipate.
On Sunday, poll workers napped
during long stretches when no vot-
ers came by. Some would-be voters
carrying government-issued reg-
istration cards said they had been
turned away by poll workers who
said their names were not on regis-
tration lists.
Others said
they had trouble
reaching the polls
because police
had ordered pub-
lic transporta-
tion closed in an
attempt to pre-
serve order.
When you
see this kind of
low turnout, you
have to wonder
how interested people are in an
election, said Edward Joseph, an
observer with the Haiti Democracy
Project, a Washington-based think
tank. He said apathy or fear of elec-
tion violence could be to blame.
A total of 79 candidates were
vying for 12 Senate seats. No results
were expected Sunday. Most races
had multiple candidates and were
likely to end in run-offs.
Lavalas claimed victory for
Sundays poor showing, crediting a
stop-the-vote campaign they nick-
named Operation Closed Door.
The people believe in Fanmi
Lavalas. That is why
they did not come
out today, James
Derozin, a former
Lavalas lawmaker,
told a reporters as
polls closed around
4 p.m. Other Lavalas
loyalists vowed to
seek Prevals resigna-
tion if Sundays results
are accepted.
Others in the cap-
ital blamed the low turnout on
voter apathy after what they said
were years of broken promises by
elected leaders.
Since Ive lived in Cite Soleil,
nobody has come through for us.
We dont trust anyone. Who are we
going to vote for? said Fritznor
Remedor, a native of the oceanside
slum who directs a U.S.-supported
orphanage at the site of a former
gang stronghold.
Calm generally reigned dur-
ing the vote. While past elections
have occasioned massacres and
riots, Sundays carless streets were
instead occupied
by young men
and boys playing
dozens of pick-up
soccer games.
But there
were several
violent inci-
dents. Elections
were canceled
in the Central
Department, one
of Haitis 10 administrative regions,
after protesters raided polling
places and dumped ballots in the
streets of the central plateau town
of Mirebalais.
A poll supervisor was shot there
around 3 a.m. Sunday and is recov-
ering in the hospital, said electoral
council director general Pierre
Louis Opont. Police said a man
was arrested after firing guns to
intimidate voters.
The council does not know
who was responsible for incident
but has ruled out Lavalas backers,
Opont said. A date for replacement
elections in the department will be
set later, he added.
In Cite Soleil, sup-
porters of Prevals
Lespwa party smashed
the windows of a
Toyota Land Cruiser
carrying Union party
supporter and Haitian
folk singer Barbara
Guillaume, who said
she was bringing
food and documents
to poll workers in Cite Soleil.
Lespwa supporters said she was
carrying money and food to bribe
voters into supporting her candi-
date. Police fired shots to disperse
the crowd, beat attackers with rifle
butts and took them to Cite Soleils
new, U.S.-financed police station,
where other Lespwa supporters
threw rocks at the building.
They were released after their
candidate, former Lavalas orga-
nizer and Cite Soleil native John
Joel Joseph, visited the station.
Guillaume was held without charg-
es for about an hour and released.
Shortly after returning from
the Summit of the Americas in
Trinidad, Preval dropped his vote
into a nearly empty clear plastic
ballot box at a school in the capital.
If his candidates win, Preval could
see his economic projects and con-
stitutional reform pass congress,
where his Lespwa party already
holds six of 18 Senate seats.
A majority for Lespwa would
help Preval win a long-sought
reform of Haitis 1987 constitu-
tion, increasing executive pow-
ers and allowing presidents to
seek consecutive five-year terms.
It would also build support for
his economic programs, meant to
relieve poverty in a nation where
80 percent of people live on less
than $2 a day.

doesnt.

Birth control prices could go down for students
BY LAUREN HENDRICK
lhendrick@kansan.com
Right now, NuvaRing costs
$54, a price uninsured students
are often unable to pay. Cathy
Thrasher, Watkins Memorial
Health Center pharmacist,
remembers when students could
buy the alternative form of
contraception for less than $20
without insurance. With President
Barack Obamas approval of the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill on
March 11, drug manufacturers can
restore discounted contraception
prices.
The Federal Deficit Reduction
Act of 2005 cut clinic packaging
of contraception beginning in
2006. But with the assistance of
the new law signed by Obama last
month, health clinics that cater to
universities may see the return of
discounted contraceptives.
The new law has health providers
like Thrasher scrambling to restore
affordable contraceptive options.
Thrasher said manufacturers
offered clinic packages, different
from retail packages, so women
could sample different birth control
options for a reduced price.
Brands like NuvaRing and
Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo were no
longer offered at discounted prices
to uninsured students after the
Federal Deficit Reduction Act.
Thrasher said Watkins
administrators were drafting a letter
to send to manufacturers and hoped
that students would help create
awareness about
the importance
of restoring
a f f o r d a b l e
c ont r a c e pt i on.
She said a student
petition might help
push the cause.
Elise Higgins,
who is the president
of the Commission
on the Status of Women, said the
price of her birth control changed
after the Federal Deficit Reduction
Act of 2005.
Its so important that women
who cant afford health insurance
have affordable contraception,
said Higgins, Topeka junior.
Higgins bought her birth control
from Planned
Parenthood and
went from paying
$10 a month to
$18 a month after
the Federal Deficit
Reduction Act was
passed.
Higgins was
prescribed four
different kinds
of birth control after the act
was passed because Planned
Parenthood couldnt maintain its
discounted supplies. After the price
of her birth control increased by
$8, she realized she could use her
parents insurance at Watkins to
purchase it for less.
Watkins pharmacy didnt see
the effects of the Federal Deficit
Reduction Act until 2007 when the
pharmacy started to run low on its
birth control stock. Thrasher said
that brand-name birth control used
to cost students $8 to $11 a month,
but that prices had significantly
increased.
Higgins said that Watkins
provided affordable birth control
options for students by offering
generic brands, but that urging
manufacturers to offer discounted
prices would help a lot of uninsured
women.
Patricia Denning, senior staff
physician at Watkins, said birth
control manufacturers would have
to feel pressure from consumers
before they took the necessary
steps to reinstate more affordable
birth control.
The crux of it is that it doesnt
obligate the manufacturer to offer
the discount, Denning said. The
Omnibus Appropriations bill only
removed the barrier to reinstate
contracts with university health
clinics.
Students interested in building
a campaign to restore affordable
contraception should contact Mai
Do at Watkins Memorial Health
Center at (785) 864-0388.
The crux of it is that
it doesnt obligate the
manufacturer to ofer
the discount.

Oklahoma City bombings
14th anniversary observed
BY TIM TALLEY
associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY It was
14 years ago when Doris Battles
parents were killed in the Oklahoma
City bombing, just two of the 168
people who died during the nations
worst domestic terrorist attack.
I cant go home and see him
anymore, Battle said of her father,
Calvin Battle, who died with her
mother Peola when the Oklahoma
City federal building was bombed
on April 19, 1995. And Battle said
the passage of time had not dimin-
ished the loss she still feels.
Battle was among 400 people who
gathered Sunday to observe the 14th
anniversary of the bombing of the
nine-story Alfred P. Murrah Federal
Building, an attack that also injured
hundreds of people. The explosion
of a truck loaded with 4,000 pounds
of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil
tore the face off the building and
caused millions of dollars in damage
to other downtown structures.
Timothy McVeigh was execut-
ed in 2001 and Terry Nichols is
serving multiple life sentences on
federal and state convictions for
their convictions in the bombing.
Prosecutors had said the plot was
an attempt to avenge the deaths of
about 80 people in the government
siege at the Branch Davidian com-
pound in Waco, Texas, exactly two
years earlier.
Dr. Paul Heath, a retired psy-
chologist with the Veterans
Administration and a bombing
survivor, attended the ceremony at
the bombing memorial, where 168
empty chairs symbolizing the vic-
tims sit on a grassy field where the
building stood.
The memory of the bombing is
just as clear today as it was the day
after the bombing. The memories
run just like a video in my head,
Heath said, who placed flowers at a
granite memorial for survivors.
Retired Marine Staff Sgt. Ted
Krey tied American flags to chairs
bearing the names of Sgt. Benjamin
LaRanzo Davis and Capt. Randolph
A. Guzman, killed in the buildings
Marine Corps recruiting office.
Theyre fellow brothers. Marines
are like that, said Krey, who was part
of a rescue team after the bombing
and was a few feet away when res-
cuers pulled Guzmans body out of
the rubble.
Richard Williams, the buildings
former assistant manager, said it
was important that survivors and
victims family members remember
both victims and rescuers.
We will always do this, said
Williams, who was seriously injured
in the bombing. Were going to do
something every year.
During the ceremony, the crowd
observed 168 seconds of silence and
survivors and victims family mem-
bers read victims names at the spot
that the Rev. Tom Ogburn of First
Baptist Church of Oklahoma City
called holy ground.

Obama visits with Latin American leaders
BY BEN FELLER
Associated Press Writer
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad
President Barack Obama on
Sunday suggested that Cuba
release its political prisoners and
defended his highly publicized
handshakes with Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez, closing
an overseas trip that he said her-
alded a new start in U.S. ties with
Latin America.
Obama said
the exchanges
with Cuba and
Venezuela provide
an opportunity
for frank dia-
logue on a range
of issues, includ-
ing critical issues
of democracy and
human rights throughout the
hemisphere. And yet, he quickly
added, the test for all of us is not
simply words but also deeds.
Earlier this week, the Obama
administration lifted restrictions
on Cuban-Americans who want
to travel and send money to their
island homeland and freed U.S.
telecommunications companies
to seek business
there. Havana
responded, saying
it was open to talks
on issues including
human rights
a topic long held
off-limits.
Obama, speak-
ing to reporters
at a closing news
conference at the Summit of the
Americas, suggested that Cuba
could further respond by releas-
ing political prisoners and cutting
fees on the money that Cuban-
Americans send to their families.
The U.S. president brushed aside
Republican condemnation of his
friendly exchanges with Chavez.
He said Venezuela has a defense
budget about one-six hundredth
the size of the United States and
noted that it owns the oil company
Citgo Its hard to believe we are
endangering the strategic interests
of the United States by talking
with Chavez, he said.
The trip was Obamas first pres-
idential journey to the region, and
he said the meeting of heads of
state had the potential to create
greater progress on
economic progress,
climate control and
immigration.
As he did on a
recent trip to Europe,
Obama stressed in
Latin America that
the United States is
a willing partner,
inclined to listen
and not just talk, in trying to
advance national interests.
We recognize that other coun-
tries have good ideas, too, and
we want to hear them, he said,
adding that the fact that an idea
comes from a small country, like
Costa Rica, should not diminish
its potential benefit.
Besides the discussion about
Cuba, which was
not invited to the
summit, his trip
was dominated by
images of his hand-
shakes with Chavez,
the leftist presi-
dent of Venezuela
who once likened
President George W.
Bush to the devil.
Chavez approached Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton during the
summit and said he was restor-
ing his nations ambassador in
Washington, voicing hopes for a
new era in relations.
The Venezuelan leader told
reporters he will propose Roy
Chaderton, his ambassador to the
Organization of American States,
as the countrys new representa-
tive in a move toward improving
strained ties with Washington.
We ratify our willingness to
begin what has started: cement-
ing new relations, Chavez said in
remarks broadcast on state televi-
sion. We have the very strong
willingness to work together.
Chavez, an ally of Cuba, a
U.S. nemesis, expelled the U.S.
ambassador to Venezuela, Patrick
Duddy, in September in solidarity
with leftist Bolivian President Evo
Morales, who ordered out the top
U.S. diplomat in his country.
Obama welcomed the remarks
from both Chavez and Cuban
President Raul Castro.
Reminded that he had once
favored lifting the U.S. trade
embargo against Cuba, Obama
sidestepped.
The policy weve had in place
for 50 years has not worked, he
told reporters. The Cuban people
are not free.
He said freedom of speech and
freedom of religions are important
and not something to be brushed
aside.
In Washington, both Democrats
and Republicans said Sunday that
they wanted to see actions, not just
rhetoric, from Cuba.
Release the prisoners and well
talk to you. ... Put up or shut
up, said Sen. Lindsey Graham
(R-S.C.).
I think were taking the right
steps, and I think the ball is now
clearly in Cubas court, said Sen.
Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) They
need to respond and say what
theyre willing to do.
Former Central Intelligence
Director Michael Hayden, an
official in the Bush administra-
tion, expressed caution about any
changes in U.S. relations with
Venezuela.
Heres a case where I would
watch for behavior, not for rheto-
ric, and the behavior of President
Chavez over the past years has
been downright horrendous
both internationally and with
regard to what hes done internally
inside Venezuela.
Central American leaders who
met with Obama said they pressed
him on immigration reform. They
also said that Obama promised to
consider providing better notice
before the U.S. deports dangerous
criminals back to their nations.
Even Nicaragua President Daniel
Ortega, a critic of U.S. policy, said
he found Obama receptive to deal-
ing with the issues raised. Ortega
said Obama is the president of an
empire that has rules the presi-
dent cannot change. Nevertheless,
Ortega said, I want to believe that
hes inclined, that hes got the will.
Yet the summits final declara-
tion carried just one signatory:
the host countrys prime minister,
Patrick Manning.

TUCSON, Ariz. Savana
Redding was 13 years old when
she was told to remove her clothes
for a strip search by school officials
looking for the equivalent of two
Advils. And while the humiliation
hasnt diminished in the past five
and a half years, she hopes the U.S.
Supreme Court can do something
about the emotional scar.
The nations highest court will
hear the 19-year-olds case Tuesday
against Safford Middle School offi-
cials who searched her for prescrip-
tion-strength ibuprofen pills that a
fellow student accused her of hav-
ing.
Im never going to be able to
forget about this, says Redding,
a college freshman living in her
hometown of Safford in rural east-
ern Arizona. Ill think about it
constantly, but I dont think itll be
as big a burden.
The Supreme Court will hear
arguments on whether school
officials violated the Fourth
Amendment, which prohibits
unreasonable searches. Among the
questions to be resolved are wheth-
er they had reasonable grounds to
believe Redding was hiding pills
and whether the pills posed a public
health threat serious enough to jus-
tify a strip search.
If the court finds the search was
unconstitutional, it will have to
decide whether school officials can
be held financially liable by deter-
mining whether it should have been
clear to them in October 2003 that
the search was illegal.
Strip searches of children pro-
duce trauma similar in kind and
degree to sexual abuse, said Adam
Wolf, an American Civil Liberties
Union attorney representing
Redding. For Savana, she thinks
about this event every day, has trust
issues with her peers and adults
... The search has radically altered
her life.
A federal magistrate had dis-
missed the lawsuit Redding and
her mother brought, and a federal
appeals panel agreed that the search
didnt violate her rights. But last
July, a full panel of the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals found the
search was an invasion of constitu-
tional rights.
The court also said vice principal
Kerry Wilson could be found per-
sonally liable. The Safford Unified
School District appealed to the
Supreme Court.
The district bans prescription
and over-the-counter drugs. A
schoolmate had accused Redding,
then an eighth-grade honor stu-
dent, of giving her pills, and Wilson
took Redding to his office to search
her backpack.
Redding said Wilson ordered her
to go with a secretary to the nurses
office where they asked me to take
off my shirt and pants. She said
they then told her to move her
bra to the side and to stretch her
underwear waistband, exposing her
breasts and pelvic area.
Redding said she didnt refuse
because Im one of those kids who
does what theyre told.
I was panicky, but I didnt want
them to know, Redding said. I just
wanted to get out of there.
No pills were found.

Columbine survivors recall shooting 10 years later
BY SANDY SHORE
Associated Press
LITTLETON, Colo. The boy
in the window who fell blood-
ied and paralyzed into the arms
of rescuers during the horrifying
Columbine High shooting rampage
is doing just fine.
Now 27, Patrick Ireland has
regained mobility with few linger-
ing effects from gunshot wounds to
his head and leg a decade ago. He is
married and works in the financial
services industry. His mantra: I
choose to be a victor rather than a
victim.
Like Ireland, many survivors of
the April 20, 1999, massacre have
moved on to careers in education,
medicine, ministry and retail.
But emotional scars still can trig-
ger anxiety, nightmares and deeply
etched recollections of gunfire,
blood and bodies.
Some have written books; a few
travel the world to share their expe-
riences to help victims of violence.
People have been able to have
10 years to reconcile what hap-
pened and see what fits in their
life and who they are, said Kristi
Mohrbacher of Littleton, who fled
Columbine as the gunfire erupted.
Its kind of a part of who I am
today. I think my priorities might
be a little bit different if I hadnt had
that experience.
Just after 11 a.m. on that day, Eric
Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17,
stormed the suburban school, kill-
ing 12 classmates and a teacher and
wounding about two dozen.
Sean Graves saw the pair load-
ing weapons in a parking lot and
thought they were preparing a
senior prank with paintball guns.
Graves, Lance Kirklin and Daniel
Rohrbough were walking toward
them for a better look when the
gunmen opened fire, killing Rachel
Scott and Rohrbough and critically
wounding Graves and others.
In the second-floor library,
Ireland was about to finish some
homework when he heard pipe
bombs exploding in the hallway.
Debris fell from the ceiling and a
teacher told students to take cover.
Klebold and Harris strode in,
shouted for students to stand up,
laughing and ridiculing classmates
as they sprayed bullets.
Ireland was under a table with
Dan Steepleton and Makai Hall
when they were shot in the knees.
Ireland was shot twice in the head
and once in a leg, and lost con-
sciousness.
The killers shot out a library win-
dow. Graves, lying partially para-
lyzed on a sidewalk below, worried
that they would return. He smeared
blood from his neck wound on his
face and the ground to make it
appear he was dead.
Harris and Klebold killed 10 stu-
dents in the library before they left
to reload, which gave some a chance
to flee. Steepleton and Hall tried to
pull Ireland but couldnt move him
far before they fled for safety.
Shortly before noon, the gunmen
returned to the library and commit-
ted suicide.
Ireland awoke some time later,
his vision blurred. With fire alarms
sounding and strobe lights flashing,
the partially paralyzed teen began
to push himself toward the bullet-
shattered window.
Over the next three hours, he
pulled his body along, lost and
regained consciousness, then moved
again through tables and chairs and
past classmates bodies. He figures
he traveled about 50 feet to the
window.
I thought how much easier it
would be just to give up, stay there
and let somebody come get you or
whatever would happen to you,
Ireland said.
But every time those thoughts
came in my mind, I thought about
all the people that I would be giving
up on. ... It was really the friends
and family I would be letting down
that kept me going.
Ireland pushed himself up to
the window and got the attention
of SWAT teams below. He doesnt
recall flopping over the sill and
dropping into the arms of rescuers,
the image that grabbed the attention
of TV viewers nationwide.
Graves, now 25, moved into a
suburb near the mountains, where
he recently purchased a home with
his fiancee, Kara DeHart, 22. He
walks with a limp and still feels
pain but keeps a positive attitude.
He plans to return to college to pur-
sue a career in forensics science, a
path that began to interest him after
Columbine.
Ireland recognizes hell be remem-
bered as the face of Columbine
because of his dramatic rescue. He
accepts it as a way to emphasize that
Columbine should stand for hope
and courage.

HONG KONG Action star
Jackie Chans comments wonder-
ing whether Chinese people need
to be controlled have drawn
sharp rebuke in his native Hong
Kong and in Taiwan.
Chan told a business forum in
south China
that a free soci-
ety may not be
beneficial for
Chinas authori-
tarian main-
land.
Im not sure
if its good to
have freedom or
not, Chan said
Saturday. Im gradually beginning
to feel that we Chinese need to be
controlled. If were not being con-
trolled, well just do what we want.
He went on to say that freedoms
in Hong Kong and Taiwan made
those societies chaotic.
Chans comments drew applause
from a predominantly Chinese
audience of business leaders, but
did not sit well with lawmakers in
Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Hes insulted the Chinese peo-
ple. Chinese people arent pets,
Hong Kong pro-democracy legis-
lator Leung Kwok-hung told the
Associated Press. Chinese society
needs a democratic system to pro-
tect human rights and rule of law.
Another lawmaker, Albert Ho,
called the comments racist.
Former British colony Hong
Kong enjoys Western-style civil
liberties and some democratic elec-
tions under Chinese rule. Half of
its 60-member legislature is elect-
ed, with the other half picked by
special interest groups. But Hong
Kongs leader is chosen by a panel
stacked with Beijing loyalists.

T
en years ago two stu-
dents entered Columbine
High School in Littleton,
Colo., armed with weap-
ons. The students went on a
shooting rampage, killing 13
people and wounding 23 others.
Unfortunately April 20, 1999,
did not mark the end of such
tragedies. Thirty three people
lost their lives at Virginia Tech
in April 2007, five were killed
at Northern Illinois in February
2008, and more recently a gun-
man opened fire in Binghamton,
N.Y., killing 14.
These horrible acts of violence
may seem states away but recently
a Student Senate debate was can-
celed because of violent threats. In
light of such events, membership
for the nonprofit organization
Students For Concealed Carry on
Campus has been rapidly increas-
ing across the country, according
to a Feb. 16 Newsweek article. Yet
despite concern about the shoot-
ing rampages in the United States,
a conceal and carry law is not
needed at the University.
When acts of violence are
committed, advocates for con-
ceal and carry often speak out.
Many subscribe to the notion that
such violence could have been
prevented if others were permit-
ted to carry firearms. Advocates
argue that a gunman would be
less likely to shoot if he thought
he would be shot at in return.
The gunmen at Columbine,
Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois,
and Binghamton, however, all
killed themselves. A gunman on
a shooting rampage may not fear
for his own life while committing
murder.
Although the process to obtain
a conceal and carry permit is
lengthy, it does not adequately
prepare gun owners to respond
to crises. In order to obtain a
conceal and carry license in
Kansas, an individual must agree
to a background check, attend an
eight-hour training course and
pay $200. Although a person must
learn how to properly operate a
firearm before gaining a permit,
the law does not require participa-
tion in any crisis training of the
kind taken by police officers.
Police officers have been
trained to operate a gun during
times of crisis, but without such
training a person can easily lose
control. Many people could get
caught in crossfire.
The violent shootings at
Virginia Tech and Northern
Illinois were horrible and devas-
tating; however, students should
be aware that such rampages are
not common and do not represent
a broader trend among college
campuses. According to USA
Today, 43 students were murdered
on a college campus between 2001
and 2005. This is a rate of less
than 10 students per year when
nearly 20 million attend college
annually.
Concealed weapons should be
permitted on a college campus
only if a real need exists for them.
If students fear for their lives
daily and feel the need to protect
themselves, then a conceal and
carry law is necessary. But at the
University we are not under a
daily threat. Students have no
need to bring firearms to class.
Allowing concealed weapons
might make the owner of the
weapon feel safer, but it will not
make campus safer as a whole.
Instead, perhaps the University
should focus on preventing other,
more widespread threats to stu-
dents, such as binge drinking.

Conceal and carry on campus
would be needless, dangerous
By Johnathan KastneR
Colorado State U.
Rocky Mountain Collegian
W
ith the economy col-
lapsing around us
and the end of all life
one Dow Jones-quake away, its
important to keep our wits about
us. Im going to explain, as simply
as possible, why tuition is going
up, why you cant find a job and
why housing values are quickly
matching the cost of firewood.
Its because our money is not cool
right now.
Money is a fabricated concept.
If you dont follow this, dont feel
bad heres an experiment to
help you out. Tear out my article,
write a jillion dollars on it, and
see whether the economy gets
better. Didnt work, did it? But
when the government does that,
except with nicer papers and inks,
it may very well work. We hope.
Money isnt real, and it cer-
tainly isnt cool. How does this
affect our very real access to
Ramen and fast food? It all goes
back to pogs.
Pogs, a game involving colorful
pieces of cheap cardboard, were
cool in the 90s. If you werent
alive in the 90s, you probably
dont remember how cool it was
to knock those little cardboard
discs around, treasuring each and
every victory and the resulting
rise in self worth. But suddenly,
something tragic happened
pogs werent cool anymore!
Somewhere, some Patient Zero
child woke up one morning,
looked at the cardboard circles
littering his room, and said,
Nuts to this. Im getting into
Pokmon. Soon, a magic yel-
low rat-monster and his abusive
owner were all the rage, leaving
those of us with vast collections
of pogs scrambling to unload
before the market tanked.
Our money spontaneously
stopped being cool in September
2008. Somewhere, someone woke
up and went, Hey! Were sell-
ing lies and painted cardboard!
Everyone else tried to shush him,
but it was too late the market
began to globally spiral into the
deadly disco zone of totally-not-
coolness.

A
fter a long evaluation
and assessment process,
the University Student
Senate met April 8 to finalize
next years budget and to decide
which programs would have to be
cut in order to avoid a substantial
increase in student fees next year.
There had been considerable
debate about which fee cuts
would have the smallest impact
on students lives, and the final
budget more or less succeeds
in limiting the loss of student
positions and important services.
The Senate should be applauded
for its good-faith effort to realize
this goal.
Specifically, Senate
dramatically cut the campus
safety fee, slashed
the educational
opportunity fee,
which provides
student scholarships,
and reduced the
newspaper readership
program fee. In an effort to
minimize the impact of cuts on
other programs, Student Senate
also cut its own fee, the student
senate activity fee, by $2.
But these cuts meant that
funding for other crucial services
recreation, health care and
student media could be
preserved. In total, the Lawrence
campus fees each student pays
will increase from $414.70 to
$423.35 next semester.
Michael Wade Smith,
Goodland sophomore and
technology and advertisement
director for Student Senate,
was a member of the fee review
subcommittee and said Student
Senate, its finance committee and
the its executive staff had a few
goals in mind while looking into
the recommended fee cuts.
Our goals were to make sure
peoples lives werent affected,
Wade Smith said. We tried
to make sure as many student
positions stayed in tact and to
make sure services stayed at the
same level as last year.
Its inevitable to see
some fees affected by
these cuts. In order
to allocate money
that was needed
for fees such as the
student health fee and
the student recreation fee, the
Senate had to determine which
fees could bear the expense of
these adjustments; it was a long
process.
There were concerns about the
decrease or removal of certain
fees that would significantly affect
programs that are beneficial
to students and faculty. The
decrease in the educational
opportunity fee will hinder the
amount of scholarships given out
to students.
Jake Lerman, Chicago junior
and journalism student, said
he knew the fee cuts needed to
happen but had reservations
about what was going to be cut,
specifically the student media fee.
I didnt want to see strong
organizations like The Daily
Kansan and KJHK be affected by
these cuts, Lerman said. The
student media fee is one that is
important for our school and is
central in the lives of students
here.
Lerman said he thought
Student Senate did the best it
could with what it had and was
glad to see it maintained many
services.
Wade Smith said the student
media fee was not affected.
Finance took 25 cents out the
student readership fee in order to
prevent cuts to services provided
by student media.
I think its sad, in times when
we hurt for money, that we have
to start cutting fees, Wade Smith
said. Its going to hurt, but well
get through it.

U.S. boycotts U.N. racism conference
BY BRADLEY S. KLAPPER
Associated Press Writer
GENEVA The United Nations
opens its first global racism con-
ference in eight years on Monday
with the U.S. and at least five other
countries boycotting the event out
of concern that Islamic countries
will demand that it denounce Israel
and ban criticism of Islam.
The administration of President
Barack Obama, Americas first
black head of
state, announced
Saturday that it
would boycott
with regret the
weeklong meeting
in Geneva, which
already is experi-
encing much of
the bickering and
political infighting
that marred the
2001 conference in Durban, South
Africa.
The Netherlands declared its
boycott Sunday, while Australia,
Canada, Israel and Italy already
have said they would not attend.
I would love to be involved in
a useful conference that addressed
continuing issues of racism and
discrimination around the globe,
Obama said in Trinidad on Sunday
after attending the Summit of the
Americas.
But he said the language of the
U.N.s draft declaration raised a
whole set of objectionable provi-
sions and risked a reprise of
Durban, which became a session
through which folks expressed
antagonism toward Israel in ways
that were oftentimes completely
hypocritical and counterproduc-
tive.
We expressed
in the run-up to
this conference our
concerns that if you
adopted all of the
language from 2001,
thats not something
we can sign up for,
Obama said.
Some European
countries are still
deciding whether to
attend the U.N. conference.
U.N. spokesman Rupert Colville
said Germany informed the glob-
al body on Sunday that it would
boycott it. In Berlin, the German
Foreign Ministry refused to con-
firm that, but said the government
would announce its final decision
on Sunday night.
Britain said it will send diplo-
mats, despite concerns the meet-
ing could become a forum for
Holocaust denial or anti-Semitic
attacks.
At the Vatican, Pope Benedict
XVI said the conference was need-
ed to eliminate racial intolerance
around the world. Asia News, a
Catholic news agency that is part of
the missionary arm of the Vatican,
said of the popes comment: The
Holy See is distancing itself from
the criticisms of some Western
countries.
I am shocked and deeply dis-
appointed by the United States
decision not to attend, said U.N.
human rights chief Navi Pillay, who
is hosting the conference.
She conceded some countries
were focusing solely on one or two
issues to the detriment of the fight
against intolerance, but said it is
essential that the issue of racism be
tackled globally.
The major sticking points regard-
ing the proposed final U.N. declara-
tion are its implied criticism of
Israel and an attempt by Muslim
governments to ban all criticism
of Islam, Sharia law, the prophet
Muhammad and other tenets of
their faith.
Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad who repeatedly
has called for the destruction of
Israel and denied the Holocaust
is slated to speak on the first day.
He arrived in Geneva on Sunday
evening and was meeting President
Hans-Rudolf Merz of Switzerland,
the country which represents the
diplomatic interests of the United
States in the Islamic republic.
The pullout of Germany would
be significant as it has played a
leading role in U.N. anti-racism
efforts as a result of its troubled his-
torical legacy. In recent meetings, it
has expressed dismay about some
governments attempts to downplay
the significance of the Holocaust.
The bland U.N. draft statement
does not mention Israel by name,
but it reaffirms the Durban state-
ment and its reference to the plight
of Palestinians. That document was
agreed after the United States and
Israel had walked out over attempts
to liken Zionism the movement
to establish a Jewish state in the
Holy Land to racism.
Israel and Jewish groups have
lobbied hard against Western par-
ticipation in the meeting, arguing
that the presence alone of American
and European negotiators would
give legitimacy to what they fear
could become an anti-Semitic gath-
ering.

conference in South Africa eight years ago.

NATIONAL
Trial to decide if Army
owes victims of Katrina
NEW ORLEANS More than
three years after Katrina stirred up
the waters and washed out levees
along a 75-mile, man-made ship-
ping channel dubbed hurricane
highway, a judge could soon
decide whether the Army Corps
of Engineers owes residents and
businesses damages because of
the massive fooding.
Arguments are set to begin
Monday in the trial, which will be
heard and decided by a judge,
not a jury. If the fve residents and
one business in this initial lawsuit
are victorious, more than 120,000
other individuals, businesses and
government entities could have a
better shot at claiming billions of
dollars in damages.
The residents argue the corps
poor maintenance of the Missis-
sippi River-Gulf Outlet, a shipping
channel dug in the 1960s as a
short-cut between the Gulf of
Mexico and New Orleans, led to
the wipeout of St. Bernard Parish
and the citys Lower Ninth Ward
when Katrina struck in August
2005. They are asking for damages
between $300,000 and $400,000
for each individual.
The corps has argued that it is
immune from liability because the
channel is part of New Orleans
food control system, but the
judge has allowed the case to be
heard because residents claim the
channel was a navigation project.
One of the residents suing,
75-year-old Lucille Franz, lost her
home in the Lower 9th Ward. Ive
been through a lot, she said.
Her sister drowned at St. Ritas
nursing home in St. Bernard near
the MRGO.

Before fans got to witness Alan
Webb make history in the mile-
invitational at the 82nd Kansas
Relays, they witnessed Lauren
Bonds make some history of her
own.
In the womens 1,500 meters,
Bonds, junior, ran a personal
best 4:27.36 in front of her home
crowd. The time qualified her for
the NCAA Midwest Regionals in
May.
Im thrilled that its now out of
the way, Bonds said.
Bonds said she owed her perfor-
mance to junior Kellie Schneider.
Schneider, who won the unseeded
1,500 on Thursday, paced the first
three laps of Bonds race like a
rabbit before a planned dropout.
Im really indebted to her,
Bonds said.
The next historic event featured
athletes such as American mile
record holder Alan Webb, 2008
Olympian Christian Smith and
Peter van der Westhuizen, a for-
mer University of Nebraska run-
ner from South Africa.
Throughout each lap, fans
cheered on the runners as they
tried to break the four-minute
mile.
In the end it came down to
Webb and van der Westhuizen
with Webb edging out as the win-
ner with a time of 3:58.90. Van der
Westhuizen finished right behind
him with a time of 3:59.54.
Shortly afterward both men
took a victory lap around as both
celebrated running a sub-four
minute mile. Webbs time ranks
second all-time in Kansas Relays
history, behind Kansas Jim Ryuns
3:54.70 in 1967.
The mens 110-meter hurdles
finals was dj vu for freshmen
Keith Hayes, Keyen Porter and
Lawson Montgomery because last
year all three were in the finals at
the Relays in the hurdles event in
high school with Porter winning
out.
Hayes took second running a
time of 14.05 seconds in the event
behind Jeffrey Julmis of Cloud
County Community College being
edged by .03 seconds. Porter came
O
n the outskirts of
Memorial Stadium,
Alan Webb emerged
from the track wearing a bright
orange jersey, a baby blue hat
and a USA Track & Field back-
pack.
At an opening in the chain
link fence, fans of all ages
waited for Webb, the American
record holder in the mile, to
appear. They held digital cam-
eras, picture phones and even a
Polaroid camera. They had him
sign t-shirts and sweatshirts,
Kansas Relays posters and old
race numbers stripped from
jerseys.
He threw his arm around
their shoulders and cracked
sharp one-liners. He had a
plane to catch, so he sprinted
everywhere after the race. Still,
Webb spent 15 minutes enter-
taining fans until, finally, he had
to leave.
Moments before, under a
cloudy and dark sky, Webb
ran the Glen Cunningham
Invitational Mile in 3:58.9
the first sub-four minute time at
the Kansas Relays since 1997.
Its still cool to see that
number three fifty whatever,
Webb said. It was definitely
great.
Theres little doubt that the
popularity and general inter-
est in track and field has been
down in recent years, a result
of the use of performance-
enhancing drugs by the sports
biggest stars.
But at the Kansas Relays,
Webb delivered a riveting
mile run, and the crowd took
notice. Webb and Peter van der
Westhuizen battled throughout
the race, especially in the final
lap. They both clocked in at less
than 4 minutes.
It was good competition the
whole way, Webb said.
Before the race, Kansas track
legend and former Kansas Rep.
Jim Ryun triggered the starting
gun. And it was all too fitting.
In 1967, Ryun set the cur-
rent record for the mile at the
Kansas Relays. Ryun is one of
the most accomplished and
well-known track athletes in
Kansas history, and he said he
hoped that Webb would topple
his time of 3:54.7.
That didnt happen on
Saturday, but judging by the
excitement in the stands, spec-
tators werent disappointed. As
Webb and van der Westhuizen
sprinted for the finish line,
nearly everyone stood and
cheered.
Shortly after the race, while
Webb sat on the grass inside
Memorial Stadium and changed
shoes, Ryun made his way
across the field and took a
picture with the races top two
finishers.
Perhaps, as Webbs popular-
ity on Saturday showed, track
and field still has a place in
American sports.
I want people to appreci-
ate the sport, Ryun said. Its
a great sport. Middle distance
running is a great combination
between a distance runner and
a sprinter.

The Kansas softball team
would have gladly settled for a
series split against No. 24 Texas
over the weekend.
Instead the Jayhawks, who
had split four of their past five
series, dropped both contests
to the Longhorns in Austin,
5-0 and 3-2, respectively.
The bottom line is, we didnt
do the little things necessary to
win ball games, coach Tracy
Bunge said. We gave them
extra outs, walked too many
batters the little things really
hurt us.
With the two losses, Kansas
dropped to 16-25 overall and
4-8 in Big 12 play, leaving them
10th in the conference.
Those little things proved
troublesome for Kansas right
away. Coming off of two strong
outings against UMKC, Sarah
Vertelka didnt make it out of
the first inning on Saturday.
The junior hurler struggled
with her command, allowing
four walks and two runs.
Freshman Sarah Blair turned
in 5 1/3 innings of solid relief,
allowing two earned runs.
But Kansas couldnt provide
any run support for its staff,
notching only two hits in the
contest.
On Sunday, the Jayhawks
found themselves down early,
again, as the Longhorns got to
senior pitcher Valerie George
for two runs in the first inning.
George settled down, keeping
Kansas in the game as she held
the Longhorns to a single run
over the final five frames, while
striking out four.
Kansas attempted to conjure
up another seventh inning rally
when sophomore shortstop
Kolby Fesmire scored on a single
from senior third baseman Val
Chapple, cutting the deficit
to 3-2. But Texas sophomore
pitcher Brittany Barnhill
closed the door, retiring senior
catcher Elle Pottorf on a fly ball
to end a winless weekend for
the Jayhawks. We hit the ball
much better on Sunday, Bunge
said. Lots of loud outs that
dont translate to the box score,
but we had some chances we
didnt take advantage of.
Barnhill was sharp from the

Tony Thompson and former
Jayhawk great Travis Metcalf may
soon have more in common than
playing the same position.
Thompson, sophomore third
baseman, clubbed two home
runs Sunday while No. 24 Kansas
rebounded strong and avoided a
sweep from Texas Tech, winning
15-6.
Thompson now has 12 home
runs on the season, only six shy
of tying former fellow third base-
man Metcalf s single-season home
run record of 18, which was set in
Metcalf s senior year in 2004.
His three home runs in the three
game series unfortunately were not
enough as the Jayhawks will more
than likely lose their national rank-
ing after failing to win the series
against the Red Raiders.
Our whole season rode on
todays ballgame, Price said. If we
would of got swept on the road by
Texas Tech it would of ruined all
the positive things we had accom-
plished in the first part of the Big 12
season.
It wasnt a good weekend for
pitching to say the least. Kansas
top two starters, junior Shaeffer
Hall and sophomore T.J. Walz, were
knocked around on Friday and
Saturday as Tech scored 22 runs in
those two games.
While the Red Raiders still scored
a decent amount with six on Sunday,
freshman starter Lee Ridenhour
wasnt accountable for the damage
as he pitched six innings and only
allowed one run. He did have to
constantly work through tough situ-
ations though, as he gave up eight
hits and walked three.
Still, it was enough for Ridenhours
first victory since Wichita State back
on March 11.
He grinded that win out today,
Price said. He found a way to get
six innings for us.
The first two games of the series
saw the Jayhawks lineup struggle
to score runs early before surging
late. However, on Sunday Kansas
silenced any possible chances for
a sweep by Tech. They exploded
for 10 runs through the first four
innings, including a seven-run first
inning.
It was pretty nice to get on top

A
ramis Ramrezs walk-of
home run in the 11th in-
ning on Saturday was my
absolute best-case scenario.
Ramrez, Chicago Cubs third
baseman, plays for my favorite
team, but hes also on both of my
fantasy baseball teams.*
*Hamsterdam Bunnies are
ranked frst out of 12 in my keeper
league and Te Rowengartners are
ranked second out of 12 (behind
Sports Editor Andrew Wiebe) in
my Kansas league. Bonus points for
anyone who can tell where those
team names came from.
However, rarely does that
perfect situa-
tion play out
for a fan/
fantasy owner.
So, whats the
etiquette on
cheering for
your fantasy
players when
theyre playing
against your favorite team?
Unlike fantasy football, its okay
to root against your favorite team
if it results in a big move in your
fantasy rankings.
Im sure some of you disagree
completely, but thats okay. Tis is a
guide for die-hard fantasy owners
looking for someone to tell them
its alright to hope Ryan Franklin
blows the save as long as Ryan
Brauns three-run homer moves
them inches closer to a fantasy title.
In football,
its never okay
to root against
your team.
In 16 games,
any loss could
end up costing
your team the
playofs, so
who cares if
you beat that
jerk Jim from work by 1.5 points
because Jay Cutlers second inter-
ception cost Jim the game?
In baseball they play 10 times
as many games, so no single game
(especially any pre-August) has
too great of an efect on the fnal
standings. So go ahead and cheer
Royals fan/Michael Young owner.
It doesnt make you a bad person
to be happy about yesterdays
outcome.
Of course, you could realize your
rooting interest has no afect on the
game, so just sit back and enjoy it.
But wheres the fun in that?
sEll HIGH
In honor of 4/20, I felt obligated
to squeeze in at least one drug
reference. However, Te Morning
Brew doesnt condone making any
fantasy base-
ball decisions
while impaired
and that
double enten-
dre does have a
purpose.
Tis weeks
fantasy advice
concerns trad-
ing players who are of to fast starts.
Marlins infelder Emilio Benifacio
(.321 Average, 13 Runs, 4 SB),
Rays shortstop Jason Bartlett (.429
Average, 2 HR, 5 SB) and Cardinals
outfelder Chris Duncan (.381
Average, 7 Runs, 11 RBI) are bot-
tom 300 players putting up top-50
numbers right now.
Tats great news for the owner
who snatched them of the waiver
wire or free agency, but reality is
about to set in. Before these guys
(or similar talents like Brandon
Inge, JD Drew and Marco Scutaro)
come back to Earth, put them out
on the market to get maximum
value returned in a trade.
Whats the best way to do that?
Find out which of your opponents
is a fan of that players team, then
drop a line about how he could
have the best of both worlds. Works
every time.

Littles surgery for stress
fracture in leg successful
Junior guard Mario Little
successfully underwent surgery
to repair a stress fracture in his
lower left leg Thursday of last
week.
Kansas coach Bill Self an-
nounced the operation had
taken place in a press release
issued Saturday.
The doctors inserted a rod
into his left leg, which was heal-
ing fne, Self said. The rod was
put in to facilitate the healing
process. The injured area is in the
part of the leg that takes most
of the load when you land from
running and jumping. We are
hopeful Mario will be fully healed
by June.
Little arrived at Kansas as a
heralded recruit from Chipola
Community College, but the
injury immediately set him back.
It never healed properly and
Little sat out
the frst two
months of
this season
because of the
injury.
He consid-
ered taking
a redshirt,
but opted to
play instead.
The stress fracture limited his
quickness, however, so he played
out of position as a big man all
season.
After Kansas lost to Michigan
State in the Sweet Sixteen, Little
said his goal would be to move
back to the perimeter after the
surgery.

Ganassis ffth victory
in Toyota Grand Prix
LONG BEACH, Calif. One
thing Dario Franchitti and
team owner Chip Ganassi
have in common is that both
hate to lose.
It wasnt easy for either one
of them to accept the failure
last summer when a lack of
sponsorship forced Ganassi
to shut down Franchittis
Sprint Cup team in the former
IndyCar Series champions
abortive move to NASCAR.
For both of us, that was
very tough to swallow be-
cause were used to such suc-
cess, Franchitti said Sunday
after giving Ganassi his ffth
victory in the Toyota Grand
Prix of Long Beach, but frst
since 1999.
Chip lost an awful lot of
money last year, I lost my
drive and a bunch of people
lost their jobs. So I dont think
it was easy on anybody.
The win was only his sec-
ond race back in IndyCar, and
only his second race driving
an open-wheel car for Target
Chip Ganassi Racing, was a
big moment for both.

Cardinals, Cubs game
rescheduled for July 12
CHICAGO The bullpens of
the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis
Cardinals got a much-needed
break from the weather on Sun-
day night.
Steady rain and an ugly fore-
cast postponed the conclusion
of their four-game series, which
will be made up July 12 as part of
a day-night doubleheader. It was
called about 3 hours before the
scheduled frst pitch.
No question, our bullpen
could use a break, said Cubs
manager Lou Piniella. Theres no
question about that.
The Cardinals won the frst
game of the series and the
Cubs won the next two, both in
dramatic fashion. Alfonso Soriano
hit a go-ahead two-run homer in
Fridays game and Aramis Ramirez
hit a game-winning two-run
homer in the 11th inning on
Saturday.
The back-and-forth games put
pressure on both bullpens.
Cardinals manager Tony La
Russa was forced to use situ-
ational lefty Dennys Reyes in the
11th inning on Saturday, and he
was tagged by Ramirez with the
game-ending home run. La Russa
didnt want to be forced into that
situation again.
There are two things you dont
want to do, if you take the worst-
case scenario, La Russa said. You
dont want to get embarrassed, in
this rivalry or anytime, especially if
a lot of people are watching. The
second thing is you dont want to
penalize one of your key guys, like
(Todd) Wellemeyer, if hes strug-
gling and not having a good day.
Piniella was forced to use closer
Kevin Gregg for two innings on
Saturday.
St. Louis was basically in the
same situation we were, bullpen
wise. To me, early in the season,
with cold weather, wet felds, you
can get some injuries. Thats my
biggest concern, Piniella said.

Competing against Big 12
opponents No. 32 Texas and No.
35 Texas A&M, Kansas dropped
its final two regular-season
matches over the weekend, bring-
ing their conference record to
4-7 and overall record to 10-12.
The Big 12 Championship begins
Thursday in Norman, Okla.
Jayhawk seniors Edina
Horvath, who was recently named
to the 2009 Academic All-Big
12 Womens Tennis Team, and
Yuliana Svistun played their final
two home matches of their distin-
guished NCAA careers.
Svistun said she wished she had
more time to play for the growing
KU squad.
I feel very sad, Svistun said
before Saturdays dual match
against Texas. And it is very hard
to believe. Sometimes I still think
that come next year we are going
to do even better than this year
and then I realize that there is no
more next year for me.
Saturdays doubles action fea-
tured a victory by Kansas Horvath
and freshman Kate Morozova
against the ranked Texas pair-
ing of Vanja Corovic and Marija
Milic, 8-3. But by that time Texas
had already clinched the doubles
point by winning at the No. 2 and
No. 3 positions.
The Longhorns were relent-
less in the singles round as every
match was won in straight sets,
except at the No. 2 position where
Morozova was able to take Krista
Damico to three sets before los-
ing 6-2, 5-7, 10-8. Texas defeated
Kansas 7-0 in the dual match.
Svistun and Horvath were
honored on Senior Day Sunday.
Devoted fans gave bouquets of
flowers and recognized their out-
standing achievements, such as
Svistuns four consecutive win-
ning seasons.
Sundays 6-1 dual match loss
to Texas A&M included some
success from Kansas. The KU
doubles pair of Horvath and
Morozova was able to win its
match, 8-6, but the Aggies still
took the early doubles point.
Svistun was the only Jayhawk to
pull out a victory in the singles
competition, winning in a third-
set tiebreaker 10-1.
Coach Amy Hall-Holt talked
about Horvath and Svistuns
careers after Sundays dual
match.
Edina has always been a top
competitor, Hall-Holt said. She
puts her heart and soul out there.
It was a tough role that I had her
play at No. 1, but she fulfilled the
role as a senior. I was really happy
with how she ended her regular
season.
Hall-Holt said that watching
Svistun play during the past four
years has been a learning experi-
ence for her.
The girl couldnt even vol-
ley when she got here, Hall-
Holt said. And now shes playing
No. 3, and shes got one of the
best records on the team. Im
really proud of both of them.
They strive for excellence and it
shows,

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.
Brian Gay put on a record-set-
ting show at the Verizon Heritage.
And this time, he didnt have to
share the spotlight with anyone.
Gay shot a 7-under 64 Sunday to
win at Harbour Town Golf Links by
an astounding 10 shots. He broke
the 13-year-old scoring record, fin-
ishing at 20-under 264 on the way
to his second PGA Tour victory.
Just another unbelievable day,
Gay said.
There have been many more of
them the last two years for the for-
mer Florida Gator, who remains the
only player to win two Southeastern
Conference championships.
But finding golf success has
been a struggle for the 37-year-old,
who did not break through for his
first victory until his 293rd start
in February 2008 at the Mayakoba
Golf Classic in Mexico.
Bad luck for Gay, that triumph
came the same weekend Tiger
Woods finished off the field at the
World Golf Championships Match
Play event.
Yeah, its a bit of validation,
Gay said.
And perhaps one of the PGA
Tours more dominating perfor-
mances.
He had the tours largest mar-
gin of victory since Phil Mickelson
won the 2006 BellSouth Classic by
13 strokes.
Gay bested Loren Roberts mark
of 19 under in winning the 1996
Verizon Heritage. Gays 10-shot
edge over Luke Donald (66) and
Briny Baird (68) shattered the
seven strokes five-time champ
Davis Love won by in 1998.
Besides a $1.026 million first
prize, Gay earned a spot in next
years Masters, something he also
didnt get with the Mayakoba vic-
tory. It will be his first time at
Augusta National.
Ive had a lot of heartache not
getting in that tournament, win-
ning (and) not getting in, and miss-
ing by one spot on the money list
two times, he said. I just figured,
who cares? Whats going to happen
is going to happen, just go play
golf.
Gay moved into the lead Friday
and carried a three-stroke margin
over Tim Wilkinson into the final
round. Gays game plan? Dont do
what he did at Mayakoba, holding
on despite some passive, wait-for-
pars play.
I told myself to keep my head
down and keep plugging along,
Gay said. I didnt watch any
(leader) boards. I didnt watch any-
thing.
Soon enough, Gay was out of
sight of the field.
He essentially wrapped things
up two holes into the round and
never gave the chasers a chance to
climb back in.
Gay struck his approach to 10
feet on No. 1 for a birdie to increase
the lead to four. A hole later, he
rolled in a curling, uphill 57-footer
for an eagle-3, raising his putter as
the ball disappeared into the cup.
Playing partner Wilkinson, fac-
ing a 10-footer for birdie, never
had a chance with the cheers for
Gay still in his ears and the margin
increased to six shots.
A birdie on the par-5 fifth gave
Gay a seven-shot edge that no one
could dent.
Gay moved into the lead Friday
with a run of five straight birdies
and continued his precise, accurate
play throughout. He made only
two bogeys one Friday and one
Sunday and bettered Roberts
low of three bogeys for the 1996
tournament.
The tour began keeping hole-by-
hole scoring records in 1983.
Im happy for the guy. Hes play-
ing phenomenal, Baird said.
The only back-nine drama was
if Gay could break Roberts scoring
mark. It looked dicey when Gay
posted a bogey on the 12th hole to
fall back to 17-under.
Surely, with a large lead and vic-
tory all but wrapped up, Gay would
pull back a bit the rest of the way.
Not this time.
Gay regained the lost stroke with
a birdie on the next hole, then
matched Roberts with a birdie on
the par-5 15th.

After playing one of the toughest
courses of the season the Jayhawks
managed a top-10 finish at the
Lady Buckeye Spring Invitational
in Columbus, Ohio. Coach Erin
ONeil said the teams ninth place
finish was a good performance
considering the difficulty of the
course.
This course is really unforgiv-
ing, ONeil said. You have to exe-
cute and any missed shots can add
up really quickly.
ONeil said the course had sever-
al sand bunkers and uneven greens
that made it a challenging course to
play on. This was also the first time
the Jayhawks had played at this
tournament and on this course.
The players had similar senti-
ments about the course. Junior
Emily Powers, who lead the
Jayhawks, said the course was
tough and that it showed off the
weak spots of the teams perfor-
mances at times.
The course exaggerated the
mistakes we made, Powers said. I
think we played it well but we just
had a few missed putts here and
there that caught up with us.
Powers said she thought the
team never really hit its stride in
the final round of the tournament.
Powers had 77 and 74 strokes on
the first two rounds but jumped up
to 84 strokes on the final round of
the tournament.
Behind Powers tie for 33rd was
sophomore Sydney Wilson who
tied 37th place. Wilson said the
greens were definitely the most
difficult part of the course. Wilson
said the tournament and the course
taught her a lot and that she would
try to make the most of her experi-
ence.
We had a good first round but
the green was difficult for us,
Wilson said. You might have one
bad shot and then it would take
more shots to get back.
Overall, ONeil said the tourna-
ment wasnt the best but the team
had good moments throughout.
ONeil said Powers had a good sec-
ond round on the 36 holes the first
day. Wilson had a really strong first
round, ONeil said.
We were here and there with
our game, ONeil said. Were just
going to work on our mental game
before next weekend.
Next weekend the team will
head to Lubbock, Texas for the
Big 12 Tournament at Texas Tech
University. Wilson said she was
glad the team had a chance to play
before the conference tournament
and said that she thought the team
was feeling really well about it.
It was good to be in a playing-
mode before our next big tourna-
ment, Wilson said.

hit a two-run homer in the ninth
inning to give the Philadelphia
Phillies a 5-4 victory over the San
Diego Padres on Sunday.
Ryan Howard started
Philadelphias winning rally with
a leadoff single against Edwin
Moreno (0-1), who was in because
closer Heath Bell had worked three
consecutive days. Ibanez followed
by hitting a 2-0 pitch into the right-
field stands.
Slumping shortstop Jimmy
Rollins connected for a pinch-
hit solo drive in the eighth for
Philadelphia, which ended a three-

Clay Condrey (2-0) picked up
the win working one inning in
relief.
giants 2,

SAN FRANCISCO Randy
Johnson took a no-hitter into the
seventh inning against his former
team, leading the Giants to the
win.
Johnson, who allowed one hit in
seven innings, was perfect through
four. He faced the minimum
through six and stranded Augie
Ojeda at third after the shortstop
doubled to open the seventh.
The 45-year-old Johnson (1-2)
got his 296th career win in his first
start against the Diamondbacks,
who he spent eight seasons with.
Bob Howry pitched the eighth and
Brian Wilson got the last three outs
for his second save.
Max Scherzer (0-1) struck out
six in five innings for Arizona,
yielding one run and three hits
with four walks.

LOS ANGELES Matt Kemp
hit a grand slam and a solo homer
to help the Dodgers pick up their
eighth straight win.
Andre Ethier and Orlando
Hudson each drove in three runs
for Los Angeles, which has won
its first six home games for the
first time since the 1947 Brooklyn
Dodgers started out 8-0 at Ebbets
Field in Jackie Robinsons rookie
year.
Scott Elbert (1-0) allowed two
runs and three hits in 2 2-3 innings
for Los Angeles, including seventh-
inning homers by Brad Hawpe and
Chris Iannetta.

Emilio Bonifacio led off the
ninth by drawing a walk off Saul
Rivera (0-3), and John Baker fol-
lowed with a double into the gap
in left-center to tie the game at

out, Ross Gload was walked inten-

out looking and Jeremy Hermida
walked on a 3-2 pitch to load the

BOSTON Jon Lester pitched
seven shutout innings to return
to his winning form in Fenway
Park, leading the Boston Red Sox
to a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore
Orioles on Sunday.
It was the fourth straight victory
for the Red Sox, who can complete
a sweep of the four-game series on
Monday morning in the annual
Patriots Day game.
Koji Uehara (2-1) allowed two
runs and five hits in seven innings
for the Orioles, who lost their
fourth consecutive game.
Lester (1-2), who had allowed
11 runs in 12 innings in his first
two starts of the season, held
the Orioles to four singles while
striking out nine. He lost his first
start of the year in Fenway against
Tampa Bay on April 8, snapping
a 16-game regular-season home
unbeaten streak.

NEW YORK Pinch-hitter
Jorge Posadas drive to right in the
seventh inning was ruled a two-
run homer by video replay, as the
Yankees spoiled former teammate
Carl Pavanos return.
Posada sent a high fly to right
off Jensen Lewis (1-2) with one
out, and the ball was deflected off
a fan and back into play. Posada
slowed his trot between first and
second, looking out to right field,
before he saw the homer signal
from second base umpire Phil
Cuzzi.
Outfielder Trevor Crowe ran
toward the infield indicating a fan
interfered, and Indians manager
Eric Wedge came out to dispute
the call, before replay upheld the
homer.

SEATTLE Rick Porcello shut
down Seattle for seven innings in
just his second major league start,
retiring his final 14 batters, and
Ramon Santiago had a career-high
five RBIs.
The youngest starting pitcher
to take the mound for Detroit in
almost 30 years, the 20-year-old
Porcello (1-1) looked more like a
seasoned veteran shutting down
Seattles offense. He gave up one
run and five hits.
Leading 5-1, Santiago provided
some cushion in the eighth with a
three-run double that barely elud-
ed the glove of left fielder Endy
Chavez.
Carlos Silva (0-2) allowed four
runs and six hits in five innings for
the Mariners.
blue Jays 1,
oakland 0
TORONTO Ricky Romero
pitched seven sharp innings,
striking out a career-high six and
allowing only four hits for the
Blue Jays.
Romero (2-0) lowered his
ERA to 1.71 before Scott Downs
worked a perfect eighth and B.J.
Ryan finished for his second save
in three chances.
Lyle Overbay singled in Kevin
Millar in the second inning for the
only run of the game.
Dallas Braden (1-2) gave up one
run and five hits in a career-high 7
1-3 innings for Oakland, who had
a chance to tie it in the third when
Mark Ellis was thrown out.

Early last semester, I began having problems with my car. It was making funny noises and
the cruise control stopped working. I didn't know what to do. Normally my dad handled these
things for me, but being an out-of-state student made that impossible now that I'm in college.
I had heard about Don's Auto from some friends and through the Kansan, so I decided to
give them a call. I'm so glad I did! They were great! They were very nice and super under-
standing.
What impressed me most, was that they offered to call my dad and consult with him every
step of the way. Now, I always take my car to Don's!

in third running at 14.35 seconds
Hayes said that around the last
hurdle was when he really lost his
composure almost falling at fin-
ish line but felt that he executed
well, getting a regionally qualify-
ing time.
Im satisfied with my race for
now, Hayes said.
In womens action, Kansas,
Missouri State and Seton Hall
battled out the 4x400 race down
to the last leg. For Kansas, the
team of freshman Shayla Wilson,
and seniors Nickesha Anderson,
ShaRay Butler and Charity
Stowers finished with a time of
3:43.14, but Missouri State won
with a time of 3:41.39.
We did our thing, Anderson
said. We have our best team
ahead and we know when it all
boils down to it, were going to
do it,
Anderson said it was frustrat-
ing for some team members who
had not yet regionally qualified.
Anderson said they may not have
gotten the victory, but they were
able to knock off three seconds
from their previous attempt.
We should have won that 4X4
but we didnt, and were not going
to beat ourselves about it. We put
on a good show by our teammates
and we did good. Anderson said.
Like the womens event, the
mens 4x400 came down to the last
leg with Kansas, Seton Hall and
Wichita State separated by a little
more than one second. Kansas
runners were juniors Jacob Breth
and Reggie Carter, senior Jarrell
Rollins and sophomore Keron
Toussaint.
Seton Hall edged out the
Jayhawks winning with a time of
3:11.41, and the Jayhaws took sec-
ond in 3:21.45.
Both teams did their best and
weve to continue to make them
better, coach Stanley Redwine
said.
Redwine said he was pleased
overall with how his team did at
the Relays.
Everyone ran their hardest and
we looked pretty good, Redwine
said. We had some better stand-
ings in regionals with more ath-
letes qualifying so thats the kind
of thing we wanted to do.

Batman withdraws
from event
Fans wanting to see Olympic
bronze medalist Bershawn
Batman Jackson compete in
the 400-meter hurdles were
disappointed in his withdrawal
right before the event.
Jackson had been dealing
with a problemin his hamstring
for a little more than a week
and decided after taking some
warm-up runs to back out.
Its not worth jeopardiz-
ing and its early in the year,
Jackson said. I want to take the
next two to three weeks to get
it healthy.
Jacksons schedule includes
meets in Osaka, Japan, and the
Penn Relays. But the Olym-
pian said he defnitely plans to
return next year.
I got fve Kansas Relay victo-
ries and I want to keep it going,
Jackson said. I hate to pull out
this year, I really wanted to go
out and get another victory
and another meet record but
you knowI still have next year
and years after that.

By JOEL PETTERSON
jpetterson@kansan.com
For Scott Russell, Friday was just
another afternoon tossing a jav-
elin at the University. Except this
day crowds gathered to watch the
Olympian, gazing and cheering in
awe as he wowed them and easily
won the event with a toss of 75.08
meters.
Russell, a KU graduate who lives
and trains in Lawrence, wasnt
exactly pleased with his perfor-
mance, but that would be difficult
to tell for the casual observer.
It was a rough start but a good
start, he said of the competition.
This was Russells first competi-
tion of the season.
In between world-class heaves,
Russell laughed and joked with
friends and family who showed
up to support him. He also acted
as part cheerleader, part athlete,
getting the crowd to clap for each
of the throwers, including himself,
during the competition.
We practice every day, and its
different having a crowd behind
you, Russell said. Having all the
faces you recognize trainers,
coaches, Lawrence High kids, in-
laws, my wife Its a really cool
environment and its easy to com-
pete in.
The Kansas relays are a much dif-
ferent stage from the 2008 Beijing
Olympic games where Russell, a
Windsor, Ontario, native, compet-
ed for Canada. He placed 10th in
the javelin throw.
It was ridiculous, he said of
the experience. You know youre
going to see 91,000 people when
you enter the stadium, you know
youre going to see the torch, but
you dont realize the little things
youll experience like the Canadian
National Anthem coming on when
you walk in the stadium.
Even on the worlds grandest
stage, Russell still managed to keep
his laid-back attitude.
I never thought Id be that
relaxed going into the Olympics,
he said.
It was an experience that he
almost didnt achieve. After miss-
ing the cut for the 2004 Athens
games, Russell was on the brink of
giving up competition.
I thought Why am I still doing
this? he said. I didnt have the
support system that I have now.
He was out of money and moti-
vation, but a friend gave him
the money to compete one more
time, and on his first throw at the
competition, he set the Canadian
record for javelin with a throw of
84.41 meters.
It saved my career, he said. I
dont know where Id be. I probably
would have just gone home and
started working.
Instead, Russell is back compet-
ing at the University, where he spent
his college years. Russell decided to
make the move from Canada to
Kansas after both the school and
the town impressed him.
The school itself had a really
good reputation, he said. And
theres just something about
Lawrence. Its really laid-back, just
like I am outside of competition.
The Kansas Relays provide
a chance for him to reminisce
about his many years in Lawrence.
Russell has made the city his home
base. He trains locally at Next Level
Sports Performance, 644 E. Locust
St., and is even helping coach the
Lawrence High track team.
Im really glad and really lucky
to have the support system I have
here, he said. I thank all the peo-
ple here who let me do it.
In between training, coaching,
and competing, he finds time to
work on a masters degree in edu-
cation.
Im trying to figure it all out,
he said. I know I want to throw,
and I know I want to teach. Right
now Im trying to see if I can make
it work financially.

circle, pitching all 14 innings for
the Longhorns while striking out
12 and allowing only two runs.
But as Bunge alluded to, Kansas
had its share of opportunities
to score.
The Jayhawks left 13 runners
on base in the two games,
unable to capitalize off of seven
walks and three Longhorn
errors. Chapple and senior
outfielder Dougie McCaulley
led Kansas with two hits apiece
over the weekend, but the rest
of the lineup had only three hits
combined against Barnhill.
She did what she needed to
do to win, Bunge said. Give her
credit. She threw the ball pretty
well out there, but weve got to
make adjustments at the plate. We
just didnt get it done.
Bunge said there wasnt time
to dwell on the losses because
Kansas would face a doubleheader
Tuesday against Tulsa.
We need to shake this series
off and get ready for Tulsa, she
said.

like that. Its always nice to get a lead
early and get our pitchers some runs
to work with," Thompson said.
Fifteen runs on 15 hits was as
efficient as the Jayhawks had been
all season. Kansas has left runners
on base in the past and it has been a
problem all season.
And it wasnt just Thompson and
the rest of the middle part of the
order that did the damage. Every
Jayhawk that played had a hit and six
Jayhawks had at least one RBI with
junior shortstop David Narodowski
leading the way with four.
The tail end of our lineup con-
tributed all three days, Price said.
Thats why we scored as many runs
as we did.
But Thompsons three home
runs was the story for the Jayhawk
offense this weekend, especially on
Sunday. Price even said it would
be a remarkable effort to reach
Metcalf s record.
If he continues to swing the bat
the way hes going about his busi-
ness I think theres no doubt about
it hell break that record before the
season ends, Price said.
But with Thompson now the
closest any Jayhawk has ever been
to reaching Metcalf s record in the
past five years, does the Reno, Nev.,
native feel lucky enough to reach
the record in the final 17 games?
It would take a pretty big effort
and it would be a great record to
have, but as long as were winning
thats all I care about, Thompson
said.

ST. LOUIS Roberto Luongo
carried the Vancouver Canucks
for two games. Specialty units
helped them take a 3-0 series lead
against the St. Louis Blues.
The Canucks scored three
power-play goals, including Steve
Berniers go-ahead score in the
opening minute of the third
period, while again stifling their
opponents chances with the man
advantage in a 3-2 victory Sunday
night.
Vancouver, the third seed in
the Western Conference, silenced
a standing-room crowd of 19,500
for the Blues first home play-
off game in five seasons. The
Canucks can finish off the sixth-
seeded Blues in Game 4 on
Tuesday night in St. Louis.
Andy McDonald, frequently
frustrated by Luongo the first
two games, finally broke through
to tie it at 2 in the second period
for the Blues, and added an assist.
But St. Louis was shut out on five
power plays, especially squander-
ing early chances to seize control,
and is 1-for-16 in the series.
Mattias Ohlund and Daniel
Sedin also scored power-play
goals for the Canucks, who were
strong the last
two periods after
mustering five
shots and trailing
1-0 after the first
And Luongo, who
allowed one goal
on 56 shots the
first two games,
made 24 saves
and was good
enough even if he wasnt the star
that prompted a fans LuonGO
Home sign.
The go-ahead goal was a bit of
a fluke, keyed by Sami Salos wide
shot from the point that took a
lively bounce off the end boards
and right to Henrik Sedin, who
redirected the puck to Bernier
alone in front of the net for an
easy tap-in at 41 seconds of the
third. Bernier scored his second
career playoff goal in 26 games.
The Canucks capitalized on the
Blues lack of discipline at the
start of the second period, scor-
ing a pair of power-play goals in a
span of 2:25 to take
their first lead.
Blues coach
Andy Murray used
his timeout after
Ohlunds shot from
the right point
squirted between
Chris Masons pads
at 7:53. But Jay
McClement was
whistled for holding the stick
about a half-minute later, his sec-
ond straight trip to the penalty
box, and Daniel Sedin poked in
the go-ahead goal just before a
flailing Mason could glove the
puck at 10:18.
The Blues were outshot 11-3
the first 12-plus minutes of
the period before rallying on
McDonalds tying goal at 16:13.
McDonald banged three shots
off the goal post or crossbar in
the Canucks 3-0 Game 2 victory,
also Luongos first career playoff
shutout, before finally beating the
goalie off a blistering cross-ice
feed from David Perron to tie it
at 16:13.
Backes first goal in six games
gave the Blues their first lead
of the series. McDonald got the
puck in deep after passing off the
boards to himself, and Backes
scored off Brad Boyes feed from
behind the net at 3:11.
St. Louis missed many more
chances, though, totaling just
three shots in 6:34 of power play
time while rarely getting a chance
to set up shop in the offensive
zone.
That included 1:26 with a
two-man advantage after Willie
Mitchell was whistled for a dou-
ble minor midway through the
period.

LOS ANGELES Pardon Phil
Jacksons lack of enthusiasm for
how the Los Angeles Lakers played
in the second half. They piled up
62 points on Utah in the first half,
then got outscored over the final
24 minutes.
It wasnt a coachs delight, thats
for sure, he said.
But his players sure liked the
outcome, a 113-100 victory over
the Jazz in the teams playoff open-
er Sunday.
Kobe Bryant scored 24 points,
Trevor Ariza added 21 and Pau
Gasol 20 as the Lakers pretty much
had their way against the eighth-
seeded Jazz. They led by 22 points
at halftime and then answered
resoundingly both times Utah got
within nine in the second half.
They kept knocking on the
door and we just never let them
in, Bryant said.
Allowing a Phil Jackson-coached
team to win Game 1 of any series
doesnt bode well for the opposi-
tion. Jacksons teams have never
lost a playoff series after winning
Game 1, going 41-for-41 with
Chicago and the Lakers.
We had a very difficult time,
Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. We
gave up 62 points in the first half
and its virtually impossible to beat
this team giving them an edge.
Carlos Boozer led the Jazz with
27 points and Deron Williams
added 16 points and a career play-
off-high 17 assists. Both were in
foul trouble, with Boozer getting
his third just before halftime when
Williams already had two.
I didnt shoot the ball too well,
Williams said. I did a good job
getting in the lane and distribut-
ing the basketball, I just couldnt
finish.
The Jazz sorely missed Mehmet
Okur, who sat out with a mild
right hamstring strain. He averages
17 points and 7.5 rebounds and
gives Utah a much-needed inside
presence against the Lakers twin
7-footers, Andrew Bynum and
Gasol.
Bynum had seven points and
three rebounds playing in foul
trouble most of the game.
We were just a step slow, Sloan
said. They kicked our butt off the
floor.
He questioned his young teams
toughness, a trait Utah has rarely
lacked during the Hall of Fame
coachs tenure.
Were not a nasty team, Sloan
said. Most of the teams that weve
had here have been pretty nasty
and they will get after you from
daylight to dark. Were just learning
how to get after it a little bit more
as we go along with
younger guys.
Part of thats my
fault. I probably
havent been nasty
enough with them.
Bryant wasnt buy-
ing Sloans assess-
ment.
Im a game con-
noisseur, so I know
how nasty Sloan was
when he was playing, he said.
Pardon my French, but your (rear)
would be kicked out of the league
if you played that physical now. Im
sure hes using it as a motivational
tool to get those guys to play even
harder.
Theyll need to at Staples
Center.
The Jazz were 15-26 on the road
during the regular season, and the
Lakers have now beaten them 10
in a row at home, including playoff
games.
Bryant spent the first quarter
getting his teammates involved
before putting his own mark on
the game.
His total gave Bryant 3,710 career
postseason points, moving him
past Magic Johnson and into ninth
on the NBAs list. He trails only
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (4,070) and
Jerry West (4,457) for most points
in the playoffs with the Lakers.
The Jazz outscored the Lakers
33-24 in the third quarter to trail
86-73 going into the final 12 min-
utes. They opened the quarter on
a 9-0 run, then a 9-2 burst got
them to 72-63, their first single-
digit deficit since late in the open-
ing quarter.
But Bryant scored three in a row
and Shannon Brown hit a 3-pointer
that kept the Lakers ahead by 13.
The Jazz got to 98-89 on a
3-pointer by Andrei Kirilenko with
5:46 remaining in the game. Bryant
answered with four points in a row
and Gasol hit two free throws that
pushed the lead back to 13 points.
The teams com-
bined to make 67
trips to the free
throw line.
A lot of free
throws. Anytime
you get to the line it
stops the momen-
tum, Bryant said.
It doesnt enable
us to get out on
transition. It was
a stop-and-go game, and thats
exactly the style of basketball that
they play.
Thats what Jackson disliked,
especially Utahs 20-7 edge on the
offensive boards.
Foul after foul after foul,
he said. Rebounds, offensive
rebounds, those are the things we
harped on all week about having
to watch that particular aspect of
our game.
Williams stole the ball from
Bryant to start the game and the
Jazz hit three quick shots to take
their largest lead of four points.
It was all Lakers after that.
Bryant dished off to Ariza and
Brown for 3-pointers, and the
Lakers built a 30-10 lead while
shooting 71 percent.

Philly steals magic from Orlando
BY ANTONIO GONZALEZ
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. Andre
Iguodala waited for the clock to
tick down, took a few dribbles to
his right and let go a high-arching
jumper. Swish! The Magic were
stunned, their fans silenced.
For the Philadelphia 76ers, it was
the sweet sound of stealing home-
court advantage.
Iguodala made a 22-foot jumper
with 2.2 seconds remaining, and
the Sixers rallied from an 18-point
deficit to beat Orlando 100-98 in
Game 1 of their opening-round
playoff series Sunday.
He then stood at halfcourt wav-
ing his hands as teammates joined
him to celebrate.
We won one more game than
people thought we would win,
Iguodala said. I was pretty amped
up.
Iguodala had 20 points, eight
rebounds and eight assists, and
Louis Williams scored 18 to help
the Sixers beat the Magic for the
first time in four tries this season
and when it mattered most.
Hedo Turkoglus fadeaway 3-point-
er missed at the buzzer, and Magic
fans stood in disbelief before filing
out quietly.
Iguodala had missed two free
throws with about a minute left
before more than redeeming him-
self with the game-winning shot.
He really made up for it, didnt
he? Sixers coach Tony DiLeo said,
smiling. Hes like our secret weap-
on.
Dwight Howard had a career
playoff-high 31 points and 16
rebounds, and rookie Courtney
Lee scored 18 for the Magic. It was
the biggest lead the Magic blew all
season, topping the loss on Oct. 31
to Memphis when they were ahead
by 15 points. Game 2 in the best-
of-seven series is Wednesday night
in Orlando.
I was very surprised at the
effort, Magic coach Stan Van
Gundy said. I was surprised not
only for our lack of intensity defen-
sively, but I was really surprised
with our lack of focus.
Orlandos inside-out game
seemed as if it would too much for
Philadelphia
When they did, Howard again
took charge.
Rim-rocking dunks, smooth
hook shots and even some unchar-
acteristic crisp free throws by the
Magics center capped the spurt.
The only time Philadelphia actu-
ally slowed Howard was when
Samuel Dalembert inadvertently
scratched both his eyes and was
called for a foul. Howard said his
eyes were pulsating after the game
but shouldnt be a problem.
Howard made the pair of free
throws to put Orlando ahead
79-61 and then went to the locker
room with a towel to his face. He
returned to the game after a few
minutes.

ARLINGTON, Texas Michael
Young was just trying to put the
ball in play. He did a lot more than
that, and seconds later the Texas
Rangers were celebrating a come-
back victory.
Young hit a
n i n t h - i n n i n g
leadoff homer
off reliever Kyle
Farnsworth and
the Rangers ral-
lied from two runs
down to beat the
Kansas City Royals
6-5 on Sunday.
Young ripped
Farnsworths 1-0
pitch 427 feet into the seats in left-
center for his first career game-
winning homer. Young leaped into
the air as he approached home
plate, diving into a group of team-
mates there to greet him.
It felt good, Young said.
Hitting a home run was the last
thing on my mind, facing a guy
whos got really good stuff. I was
just thinking contact, get on base,
and set the table for the guys
behind me. It was cool ... when it
helps the team out, its always a
good feeling.
The Rangers
were searching for
something positive
after losing seven
of their previous
eight and drop-
ping the first two
games of the series
to the Royals by
a combined score
of 14-3.
We needed it, Young said.
Fortunately we got some breaks
there in the eighth and tied it
up. Hopefully we can get some
momentum out of this win and
take it on the road.
The Rangers trailed 5-3 when
Andruw Jones doubled off reliever
Ron Mahay in the eighth. Jones
went to third when Royals first
baseman Mike Jacobs booted Hank
Blalocks grounder, and he scored
on Nelson Cruzs ground out off
Jamey Wright to make it 5-4.
Blalock went to second and Chris
Davis followed with a pinch-hit
single, with Blalock
scoring when Davis
sharp grounder
glanced off the glove
of second baseman
Alberto Callaspo.
Callaspo recovered
the ball and threw
home, but Blalocks
slide avoided the tag
from catcher John
Buck.
Frank Francisco (1-0) pitched a
perfect ninth for the win.
Ian Kinsler, who homered and
went 2-for-4, was standing next
to Davis on the top step of the
Rangers dugout when Farnsworth
threw the second pitch to Young.
Davis and Kinsler grabbed each
other as the ball sailed into the
seats, then sprinted onto the field
to await Youngs arrival.
The most fun is waiting for him
to get to the plate because after that
its just chaos, Davis said.
Farnsworth said
missing the strike
zone with his first
pitch proved disas-
trous.
You dont like
getting behind in the
count, Farnsworth
said. You have to
throw a fastball and
thats what he wants.
Farnsworth has
struggled early as the losing pitcher
in three of the Royals five losses.
He hasnt gotten off to a good
start, Kansas City manager Trey
Hillman said. Hes made improve-
ments to his delivery. But hes had
more tough outings than positives.
Weve seen some good things out
of him, but to do what we want
to do, Kyle Farnsworth has got to
perform for us.
Royals starter Kyle Davies
recovered from a four-walk first
inning to pitch three-hit ball over
six innings, leaving with a 5-3 lead
before the bullpen faltered.
Davies fell behind 2-0 in a shaky
first but righted himself to allow
three runs, strike out eight and
walk five.
Jacobs and David DeJesus hom-
ered and drove in two runs each for
the Royals, who had won five of six
entering Sundays game.
Texas starter Vicente Padilla
allowed five runs and eight hits in
five innings with five strikeouts and
one walk.
Davies had trouble finding the
strike zone in the first, walking four
with Kinsler and Young executing a
double steal. Blalocks sacrifice fly
and David Murphys bases-loaded
walk gave Texas a 2-0 lead.
I tried pounding the fastball but
I just couldnt locate it, Davies said.
I should have gone to the breaking
ball. I needed to make the adjust-
ment a little sooner. It went a little
too far in the first inning.
Jacobs two-run homer in the
second tied it at 2-2.
Kinslers homer in the second
put Texas ahead 3-2, but DeJesus
RBI single in the third tied it at 3.
Bucks RBI single in the fourth
gave the Royals a 4-3 lead, and
DeJesus solo homer in the fifth
made it 5-3.
Meanwhile, Davies settled in
after Kinslers homer, retiring 14 of
the next 16 batters.
