Obituary
friends remember hawkins as a blast to be around
BY KEVIN HARDY
khardy@kansan.com
Dalton Eli Hawkins, Shawnee
freshman, was found dead Friday
morning outside of Watkins
Scholarship Hall after falling off
the roof, University Relations con-
firmed Saturday.
Hawkins was a resident of
Ellsworth Hall and a member of the
Mount Oread Scholars Program.
Hawkins, a pre-pharmacy major,
was employed at Sunflower
Pharmacy, 1501 Inverness Dr. He
had recently joined Alpha Kappa
Lambda, a colony working toward
recognition as an official KU fra-
ternity.
Hawkins was born Aug. 13, 1990,
in Shawnee. He attended Broken
Arrow Elementary School and
Hocker Grove Middle School in
Shawnee. He was a 2008 graduate of
Shawnee Mission Northwest High
School, where he participated in
cross country and bowling.
Hunter Williams, Shawnee soph-
omore, attended high school with
Hawkins and introduced him to the
fraternity members. Williams said
Hawkins was a great kid who he was
just starting to get to know better.
He was a jokester, Williams
said. But, when it came time to be
serious, he was serious.
Williams said Hawkins was a
hard-working, intelligent person
who always acted responsibly.
This came as a surprise to all of
us, Williams said.

The Shawnee County Coro-
ners ofce released a prelimi-
nary autopsy report Sunday in
the case of Dalton Hawkins,
Shawnee freshman, who was
found dead Friday morning
near Watkins Scholarship Hall.
The report indicated the
cause of death was blunt trau-
matic injuries to the head and
chest as a result of a three-story
fall from Watkins roof. Hawkins
sufered injuries to his heart,
left lung and ribs. The coroners
ofce determined the death to
be accidental. The initial prelimi-
nary drug test was presump-
tively positive for alcohol.
A representative from the
coroners ofce said there was
no time frame on when the
full autopsy report would be
completed.

A 20-year-old female KU student
was sexually assaulted early Friday,
Lawrence police said.
The woman was walking south
in the 600 block of New Hampshire
Street around 1 a.m. when she was
attacked from behind by two white
men, said to be in their 20s with
short hair.
Lawrence police Sgt. Michael
Monroe said the woman was taken
to Lawrence Memorial Hospital
and treated for non-life-threatening
injuries.
The woman said she was knocked
to the ground before being sexually
assaulted. After the assault, the sus-
pects fled the scene, Monroe said.

talib kweli, half of the hip-hop duo refection eternal, entertains a crowd Sunday night at the Granada. Kweli and his partner, Hi-Tek, reunited nearly a decade after their infuential Train of Thoughtrecording to produce a newself-
titled album. Proprieters of local music venues such as the Granada are booking more hip-hop shows to meet an increasing demand for the genre in Lawrence.
Hip-hop fans, artists increase in Lawrence
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
Lawrences hip-hop scene is
increasing in popularity.
As of 5 p.m., more than 400
people had bought tickets for last
nights Reflection Eternal show
at the Granada. Jake Hiersteiner,
Granada marketing director, said
he expected even more of the
tickets to go before the end of
the night, just another sign that
Lawrence loves hip-hop.
The group, a collaboration
between nationally recognized
artists Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek, is
on its small tour promoting its
upcoming self-titled album.
Danny Spence, local rapper and
producer, said the show united
the growing number of Lawrence
hip-hop fans.
Even though Lawrence is small-
er, it recognizes there is a commu-
nity, Spence said. Theres a lot
more artists coming to Lawrence
and a lot more here getting shows.
It feels like the time is right.
Spence, Austin, Texas, junior and
KJHK production director, said the
local hip-hop scene went into a lull
after 2002 because local artists left
the area hoping to expand their
audience. Now though, Spence
said the artists are back and are
doing things a little differently.
KC and Lawrence artists go
both ways. More people are scor-
ing shows and scoring shows
for other people, Spence said.
Austin has a good scene, but its
not unified like here. Theres a
good unity growing.
Last Saturday, approximately
300 people attended Move, a
hip-hop dance party hosted by
KJHK at the Bottleneck. The show
featured six local hip-hop acts,
two professional dance crews and
live painting. Peter Adney, KJKH
hip-hop director, said hip-hop
shows provided the audience an
experience that allowed them
to interact with each act in a dif-
ferent way.
Just as with local rock groups,
it is very fun to go out and see
local producers and emcees per-
form. The smaller and more
localized, the more unique and
honest the experience. Thats why
its just as great to experience
local hip-hop as it is to see your
favorite star MC.
And more people are notic-
ing. Spence said KJHKs founda-
tion had always been traditional
college-radio genres, like indie
or alternative. But over the past
few years, college radio at KJHK
has expanded to include hip-hop
music as well. With two hip-hop
based special programs, Bounce
and Breakfast for Beat Lovers,
Adney said KJHK focused on the
genre more than most college
stations.
Ben Coldham, Chicago senior
started a hip-hop column in The
University Daily Kansan this
semester. Coldham said the col-
umn would continue next semes-
ter.
Nothing in the Kansan or
other places are tailored to the
hip-hop fan base and I know
for certain theres a lot of hip-
hop fans in Lawrence, Coldham
said.
For more of the local hip-
hop scene experience, the first
Wednesday of every month, the
8th Street Tap Room hosts Get
Foolish, a local hip-hop show. On
May 8, DJ Spence and MC Polly
Rhyme are performing at the
Jackpot Saloon. For more infor-
mation on more hip-hop events

Jayhawks play underdog role at Big 12 tournament. mEN'S GoLf 3B
Feisty Freshman
Stanfeld steps up against cornhuskers
BY HALLIE MANN
hmann@kansan.com
With its best finish ever in
the Big 12, the Kansas womens
golf team couldnt be happier.
The team took fifth place in
the conference tournament this
weekend in Lubbock, Texas.
Kansas was ranked 11th com-
ing into the tournament but
after three days of playing the
team finished with a program-
best performance of 945 strokes.
Kansas State beat the Jayhawks
by one stroke, taking fourth
place.
It always comes down to the
wire at tournaments like this,
Coach Erin ONeil said. Either
way we did a great job this week-
end.
Junior Meghan Gockel, who
tied for sixth place overall, led the
team. Gockel said she thought
the team finished pretty well. She
also said she thought that she
played well overall but that there
were still ways for the team to
improve.
I didnt come in with expecta-
tions for the tournament, but if I
had, I think I definitely exceeded
them, Gockel said.
One of the things that the team
has been working on is its men-
tal game, ONeil said. She said
the girls stayed in control and
focused despite some tough play-
ing conditions this weekend.
Gockel said the team had made
progress on its mental game over
the course of the season. She
added that the team could still
make some improvements to its
overall performance despite the
impressive finish.
I think this tournament was
a step in the right direction for
us as a team and our progress,
Gockel said.
Looking back on the sea-
son and Gockels performance
Sunday, ONeil said Gockel had
made a lot of progress as a player.
ONeil said she was pleased with
Gockels mental toughness and
her ability to motivate others on
the team.

An 11-8 loss on Sunday wasnt
the ideal result for Kansas softballs
Senior Day, but it wasnt enough to
spoil a feel-good weekend for the
team.
The Jayhawks (18-28, 5-9), who
won Saturdays contest 7-3, earned
a split of the two-game series with
Baylor (36-18, 11-6), and afterwards
celebrated the careers of their five
senior players.
Weve got a great group of
seniors, coach Tracy Bunge said.
Every Senior Day is emotional, but
this group is definitely a special one.
Theyve done a lot of great things
for us.
Third baseman Val Chapple,
left fielder Stevie Crisosto, pitch-
er Valerie George, center fielder
Dougie McCaulley and catcher Elle
Pottorf were all honored for their
career achievements.
All five of them are such good
players and teammates, sophomore
Allie Clark said. Theyve taught us
so much.
Many of Kansas underclassmen
also spoke of the importance of
ending the year on a high note for
their senior teammates.
We really want to finish the year
strong for them, junior pitcher
Sarah Vertelka said.

James Stanfield knows his role
well. Thats why Stanfield, back
up freshman infielder, didnt
even flinch when junior second
baseman Robby Price went
down with an injury in Sundays
doubleheader.
Stanfield contributed greatly in
both games, driving in the winning
runs in Kansas 9-4 victory against
Nebraska in game two of the
doubleheader.
Injuries happen, and its
definitely time for me to step up
and help the team, Stanfield said.
Thats all Im trying to do.
Stanfield finished the day going
only 2-for-7 in both games, but he
made his hits count as he also had
three RBIs and scored three runs.
Stanfields second hit came in the
seventh inning with the game tied
at four. Stanfield barely snuck his
ground ball through the left side
between the third baseman and
shortstop, as two runners came in
to score.
Kansas tacked on three
insurance runs in the eighth, but
Stanfields hit was what coach
Ritch Price talked about.
That was big time wasnt it?
I mean for that kid to get that
clutch hit with two outs to put us
ahead was a tremendous at-bat
for a freshman, Price said. Hes a
scrappy little guy.
Stanfields clutch hit helped
Kansas take the series against
Nebraska after thunderstorms
postponed the game on Saturday.
Redshirt sophomore outfielder
Brian Heere said the doubleheader
sweep showed a lot of maturity,
especially after the way Kansas
lost on Friday night.
That took a lot of maturity
from us, Heere said. We had to
get to bed early, get up early. It
took a lot of maturity to stay in
the game and play all 18 innings
today.
It was the Jayhawks first series

NFL Draft
inspires
laziness
I
m generally a lazy person,
but two things make me feel
lazier than any skipped after-
noon class: the NFL Draft and
Rocky movie marathons on TNT.
With the draft, youre literally
watching people watch TV. Not
to mention the fact its just an
uneducated guessing game.
With Rocky marathons, Rocky
Balboa and (insert Apollo Creed,
Clubber Lang or Ivan Drago)
look like theyre cut from gran-
ite, which makes me feel like a
marshmallow as I wash down a
frozen pizza with another Hee-
Haw.
However, no matter how many
times I swear off both of these
events, Im glued to the screen
as soon as the TV clicks on. So,
in an effort to make myself feel a
little better after wasting 48 hours
on ESPN, here are some things I
found interesting during the draft:
Oakland continues to be the
dumbest franchise in the history
of the NFL. Obsessed with speed,
Raiders owner Al Davis selected
Marylands Darrius Heyward-Bay
and his 4.3-second 40 time with
the No. 7 pick. He wanted even
more speed, but Usain Bolt wasnt
on the board (cue rimshot). In
the second round, Davis topped
it off by drafting Michael Mitchell
out of Ohio. Widely regarded as a
late-rounder or even a free agent,
Mitchell is now rich because
Davis doesnt understand how
football works.
Though no Kansas players
were drafted, there were plenty
of Kansas highlights. Actually,
highlights with Jayhawks getting
beat would be more accurate.
Highlight packages for Texas
A&Ms Stephen McGee and Texas
Techs top trio (WR Michael
Crabtree, DB Darcel McBath and
OL Louis Vasquez) all featured a
plethora of plays against Kansas.
The draft is much more
enjoyable on day two, mainly
because of ESPNs desperate
attempts to fill time throughout
the day. The best example of this
was Erin Andrews interview with
Texas Quan Cosby and former
comedian Dr. Bill Cosby (no rela-
tion).
Bill is friends with Longhorn
coach Mack Brown, and when
he met Quan and he asked to be
part of his entourage on draft day.
So there was Quan, Andrews and
Bill, who was dressed in a Temple
jersey and helmet, all crammed
onto a love seat too small for
Gary Coleman.
After a few failed jokes Bill
really isnt too funny these days
Bill said he wanted to be drafted
by Detroit, which led to the most
awkward Q&A in recent history.
Andrews: What is the biggest
strength you could bring to the
Detroit Lions?
Bill: Fear.
Andrews: Dont you think
theres enough of that already in
Detroit?
Bill: Did you ever corner any-
thing, and then found out that it
just terrified you? You had cor-
nered it and it was just going to
come out and get you. Thats how
you have to play.
And with that I learned that
one of the greatest comedians of
our time has lost his mind.

LECTuRE
Sept. 11 memorial designer
to speak today in Union
Michael Arad, designer of the
National September 11 Memorial
at the World Trade Center, will be
on campus today to talk about his
career experiences.
He is speaking at a new lecture
series honoring the late Thomas
Galloway, founding chair of the
urban planning graduate program
in the School of Architecture and
Urban Planning.
He was a very important person
in the planning of the school
here,said John Gaunt, dean of the
School of Architecture and Urban
Planning.
The lecture series is supported
fnancially by Galloways wife,
Sharon Galloway.
Arad is scheduled to speak at
6:30 p.m. in Woodruf Auditorium
at the Kansas Union.
His lecture will detail his experi-
ences as an urban planner and his
design for the World Trade Center
memorial.
I think the whole situation
involving the World Trade Center is
of ongoing interest and fascination
and its sort of enriched in a sense
by not only the interest in the place
and purpose itself, but by the pro-
cess,Gaunt said. I certainly think
this would be a really interesting
event for the people at KU.
The event is free and open to the
public.

on getting drafted by Kansas City with the
No. 3 pick
BY DOUG TUCKER
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. A de-
fense bad enough to make NFL
history got all the attention on
Kansas Citys frst three draf picks
under the command of Scott Pioli
and Todd Haley.
Ten the teams new brain trust
turned to ofense.
Now, theyll focus on free
agents, rookie free agents and any
other method that may present
an opportunity to take the Chiefs
from the miserable 2-14 they suf-
fered through last season to the
status of Super Bowl contenders
they knew in the 1990s.
Teres a lot of ground to cov-
er, Pioli said at the end of the day
on Sunday. And theres a lot more
ground to cover. As this ends to-
day, were not through improving
this football team. Teres going
to be a lot of things that happen.
Tere will be other opportunities.
One immediate disappointment
to Chiefs fans may be the lack of
draf trades. As director of pro per-
sonnel at New England, Pioli was
famous for wheeling and dealing
and working out slick agreements
that brought in winning players.
But all the way through their frst
pick in the seventh round, not one
deal was reached.
It wasnt for lack of trying.
We talked about a lot of difer-
ent trades with a lot of diferent
people, spent a lot of time on the
phone, Pioli said. Sometimes we
felt like we would have to give up
too much to get to certain spots.
Tere were a couple of players we
thought about potentially trad-
ing up for, but it was getting close
enough to our pick and fortunate-
ly, they fell to us. So we were able
to save our picks. I love to look for
trades. But if theyre not right, or
if the right opportunity isnt there,
you dont consummate the trade.
Afer taking LSU defensive
end Tyson Jackson with the over-
all No. 3 choice on Saturday, the
Chiefs went for Purdue defensive
lineman Alex Magee in the third
round on Sunday and then select-
ed Ohio State cornerback Donald
Washington in the fourth.
Te Chiefs did not have a
second-round pick because Pioli
already had addressed another
gaping need by trading the pick
to New England for quarterback
Matt Cassel.
Clearly, Pioli and head coach
Todd Haley went into the draf
with defense on their minds.
Our philosophy is to take a
combination of best available
player, plus need, Haley said Sun-
day. Obviously, if youve been
around here a little bit, they had a
little trouble stopping people.
With their fourth pick on Sun-
day, the Chiefs fnally took Mis-
souri tackle Colin Brown. Te
6-foot-7, 325-pounder was born
and raised in Braymer, Mo., about
an hour north of Kansas City, and
grew up a Chiefs fan. With their
ffh overall selection, they stayed
with ofense and drafed wide re-
ceiver Quinten Lawrence in the
sixth round. He averaged nearly
20 yards per catch for McNeese
State coming into his senior year,
but played in only fve games as a
senior because of a leg injury.
With their seventh-round pick,
the Chiefs made running back Ja-
varris Williams of Tennessee State
the 212th player taken overall.

Scott Dixon beats Ryan
Briscoe in Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Scott
Dixon took advantage of Ryan
Briscoes tough-luck pit stop,
then held of Helio Castroneves
to win the Road Runner Turbo
Indy 300 on Sunday.
Briscoe led for 54 laps when
he decided to go into the pits for
tires and fuel. Just as he crossed
into the pits, Dario Franchitti
slammed into the wall, sending
up the caution fag. Track of-
cials didnt allow Briscoe to stop
and he lost position, returning to
the track in fourth after pitting
with the rest of the feld.
Tony Kanaan fnished third
and Briscoe ended up fourth.

End-of-the-year career fair may be just in time
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
rburchfeld@kansan.com
For students looking to nab a
full-time job or internship before
classes let out, KU Career Services
is hosting its second career fair of
the semester.
The Just-in-Time Career Fair will
take place from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30
p.m. Thursday in the Ballroom of
the Kansas Union.
Career Services organized a sec-
ond career fair for the first time
ever this year in response to the
struggling economy, said Cheryl
Norwood, recruiting and alumni
networks coordinator for Business
Career Services in the School of
Business.
We have decided that with the
poor economy, it would be in the
students best interest to hold a last-
minute career fair before graduation
or summer break, Norwood said in
an e-mail.
Norwood said every employer
attending the event was required to
have either a full-time posting or
an internship posting in KU Career
Connections Web site.
These employers will also bene-
fit from this career fair because they
are being able to
market last-min-
ute opportunities
or unfilled posi-
tions at a very low
cost, Norwood
said.
Nathan Mack,
Lawrence senior,
said he liked the
idea that only
companies that
were hiring would be at the career
fair. He said it would be disappoint-
ing to hit it off with an employer
at a career fair just to find out they
werent hiring.
I would call it optimistic for
students because when you go, you
know people are actually looking
for potential employees, Mack said.
You can go in with a hopeful out-
look because you know there is at
least an opportunity.
According to the Career
Connections Web site, 37 com-
panies are scheduled to be at the
career fair. Employers
include Enterprise
Rent-a-Car to the
Kansas City Wizards,
Congressman Jerry
Moran and the Peace
Corps.
Dave Byrd-Stadler,
employer relations
coordinator with
Business Career
Services, said the idea
for the inaugural Just-in-Time
Career Fair came out of biweekly
meetings that the various career
centers on campus held. He said
they found students were having
to work harder to find jobs than
in past years. Career Services has
planned the event since the begin-
ning of the semester.
Byrd-Stadler said Career
Services had no immediate plans
to make the Just-in-Time Career
Fair an annual event. He said the
main goal of the career fair was
to show students that although
they may be frustrated, jobs in the
difficult economy still existed and
were still attainable.
Were giving a forum of 37
companies that want to hire col-
lege-age graduates, Byrd-Stadler
said. Theres probably no better
opportunity right before students
leave KU to get that number of
employers at a single event.

DETROIT General Motors
Corp. will announce details of its
massive restructuring plan today,
including changes in its eight
brands and potential factory clo-
sures as it fights to avoid bank-
ruptcy protection.
GM must make the announce-
ment in advance of a planned offer
to its bondholders to swap debt
for company stock. The company
owes $28 billion to bondholders,
and under Securities and Exchange
Commission rules, it must disclose
its operational plans before making
an exchange offer.
The disclosure is likely to include
the end of the storied Pontiac brand,
and could provide further details of
factory closings.
GM is living on $15.4 billion
in government loans and faces a
government-imposed June 1 dead-
line to restructure or go into bank-
ruptcy protection.

U.S. close to decision about Guantnamo prisoners
BY DEVLIN BARRETT
Associated Press
LONDON The United States
is relatively close to making deci-
sions on what to do with an initial
group of Guantnamo Bay detain-
ees, U.S. Attorney General Eric
Holder said Sunday.
Holder spoke to The Associated
Press during a flight to London,
the first of several stops where he
will visit with European leaders
to discuss terrorism, drugs, and
cyber-crime.
Holder did not say how much
longer he thought it would take to
close Guantnamo. Before officials
can meet President Barack Obamas
January deadline, the U.S. must
first decide which detainees to put
on trial and which to release to the
U.S. or other countries.
Holder said the first step was to
decide how many total detainees
would be set free.
Were doing these all on a roll-
ing basis, he said. I think were
probably relatively close to making
some calls.
The attorney general has called
the Guantnamo work the toughest
part of his job.
After eight years in which the
Bush administration alienated
European nations over issues like
the Iraq war and Guantnamo Bay,
the Obama administration is trying
to strengthen those ties.
I dont think theyre looking for
as much of American leadership as
a partnership, Holder said.
The Obama administration
is edging toward taking some
Guantnamo prisoners to the
U.S., most likely to Virginia. They
are Chinese Muslims known as
Uighurs, and their supporters say
they never should have been at
Guantnamo in the first place.
Republicans in Congress say
Guantnamo should remain in
operation and are mobilizing to
fight the release of detainees into
the United States.
Against that backdrop, Holder
hoped to reassure skeptical
Europeans without generating
too much public opposition back
home.

Jayhawks travel to Hutchinson tourney underdogs
BY CHRISTIAN LUCERO
clucero@kansan.com
Most of the time, seeding teams
for a tournament is a pretty accurate
depiction of the results. But mens
golf coach Kit Grove has seen how
seedings can be misleading.
We were toward the bottom last
year and finished fifth, so it was
a pretty successful tournament,
Grove said.
The Jayhawks will shoot to reprise
the underdog role as the No. 10
seed this week, Monday through
Wednesday, at the Big 12 tournament,
which will be played at Prairie Dunes
Country Club in Hutchinson.
The course will host four teams
ranked in the Golf World/Nike Golf
Coaches Top 25 Poll. Oklahoma
State, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas
Tech will headline this weeks tour-
nament, a field Grove said was full
of big-time programs. The team
will rely heavily on senior Walt
Koelbel, arguably the most consis-
tent Jayhawk this season. Grove said
Koelbel played at Prairie Dunes two
years ago and came away with a
ninth-place finish.
I know Walt has played well
here before so hopefully hell have
some positive mojo going into the
tournament, Grove said. He has
worked his way into being a kid you
watch and look up
to and every year
hes improved into
a better player.
Grove said
seniors Andrew
Storm and Zach
Pederson would
also provide vet-
eran leadership.
Andrew is a
guy whose game is
well-suited for this
course. He keeps it in play and thats
what you need here, Grove said.
Zach has played for three years
here and has come on lately, so
hopefully he can build
on some of his experi-
ence and turn in a low
number.
The forecast for the
week isnt promising,
as thunderstorms are
predicted to hover
around Hutchinson
for the entire tourna-
ment.
Its all in the mind
when it comes to
weather, Grove said. If you go in
hoping it will make the course play
tough and even the playing field,
it will be an asset to use to our
advantage.
Grove also mentioned his hopes
for the tournament and his players.
Hopefully the seniors will enjoy
playing a world-class course in a
conference tournament, Grove
said. We just need to play it the
way it was designed and accept
what the golf course gives you. Its
been a struggle all season and wed
rather be going in the other direc-
tion going into the conference,
but thats why you play the game.

New York Jets trade up Mark Sanchez;
other Quarterbacks saved for day two
BY BARRY WILNER
Associated Press
NEW YORK If theres an
NFL executive Jets general man-
ager Mike Tannenbaum hasnt
approached with an offer to trade
up in the draft, he should be ready
for a call next year.
With Brett Favre retired and
Thomas Jones threatening to stay
away without a renegotiated con-
tract, Tannenbaum was super active
at the beginning of
both days of the
draft this week-
end. His aggres-
siveness landed
quarterback Mark
Sanchez in the fifth
overall spot.
A f t e r
Ta n n e n b a u m
caught his breath
his team had no
more picks in the first two rounds
he began Sundays session by
dealing with Detroit to start things
off. The Jets filled a potential hole
with Iowa running back Shonn
Greene.
At least Tannenbaum is consis-
tent. In the last four drafts, hes
traded up to get key players: in
2006, quarterback Kellen Clemens;
in 2007 cornerback Darrelle Revis
and linebacker David Harris; and
last year, tight end Dustin Keller.
The Jets sent a third-rounder,
a fourth-rounder and a seventh-
rounder to the Lions to get the
All-American Greene.
I think they really believe in my
talent and my potential to trade up
and get me, Greene said. Im just
going to work my hardest to satisfy
... and help the team win.
Chicago and Dallas finally made
their first picks, in the 68th and
69th slots. The Bears went for
defensive tackle Jarron Gilbert of
San Jose State, and the Cowboys
selected Western lllinois linebacker
Jason Williams.
I know a lot was said about him
at the top of the second round,
Bears GM Jerry Angelo said of
Gilbert. For whatever reason, it
didnt happen. We really didnt
expect him to be
there but we felt,
as I said, given that
we wanted to trade
down, given that we
had four players that
we liked and felt good
that one of them
would be there, thats
what happened.
Williams wasnt
even invited to the
NFL combine in February.
It probably had something to
with being an FCS player, said
Williams of his small-college back-
ground. I got overlooked in the
process.
Quarterbacks pretty much were
overlooked until late in the second
day. Only four went in the first
two rounds, including top overall
choice Matthew Stafford of Georgia
to Detroit. Through three more
rounds Sunday, Stephen McGee of
Texas A&M was the top choice in
the fourth round, by Dallas. Former
Oklahoma QB Rhett Bomar, who
transferred to Sam Houston State,
was taken by the Giants in the fifth
round, followed by Ball States Nate
Davis to San Francisco.
But the sixth round saw Fresno
States Tom Brandstater go to
Denver no, he isnt likely anoth-
er Jay Cutler and Rutgers Mike
Teel (to Seattle) go in the first five
spots. Two more went that round:
Keith Null of West Texas A&M,
and Curtis Painter of Purdue.
Several big-time programs
accustomed to having multiple
players selected waited a lot lon-
ger than Chicago and Dallas to
be involved. Indeed, the Miami
Hurricanes had gone 14 straight
drafts with a first-round pick. This
year, no Hurricane had gone until
linebacker Spencer Adkins went to
Atlanta at No. 176.
The first Virginia Tech player
taken, DB Victor Harris, was No.
157 to Philadelphia, and the first
Nebraska Cornhusker went in the
next spot, linebacker Cody Glenn
to Washington.
All-American running back
Javon Ringer of Michigan State was
the final pick of Round 5, leaving
Utah kicker Louie Sakoda as the
only All-American undrafted.

CHICAGO Ben Gordon
scored 22 points, hitting the
tying three-pointer in the frst
overtime, and the Chicago Bulls
beat the Boston Celtics 121-118
in double overtime Sunday to tie
their frst-round series.

points. Ray Allen added 28, and
Rajon Rondo again hounded the
Bulls, fnishing with 25 points, 11
rebounds and 11 assists.

for Atlanta or Miami to advance.
Detroit, meanwhile, will have
its longest ofseason since 2001
and about $20 million in salary-
cap space to rebuild a once-
proud team.

over Thaddeus Young with 1.1
seconds left to lift Orlando over
Philadelphia, evening their East-
ern Conference frst-round series
at two games apiece.
Dwight Howard had 18 points

Magic starter scored in double
fgures. Turkoglu and Rashard
Lewis each added 17.

said he was with Hawkins almost
every day until his death and
considered him one of his closest
friends. He said Hawkins was a
goofy, hilarious friend to have
around. He has known Hawkins
since August and said he had never
seen him angry.
It didnt matter if you knew him
for a day or you knew him his whole
life, he would take you in, Miller
said.
Miller said he and other mem-
bers of the fraternity were notified
of Hawkins death Friday morn-
ing. He said he couldnt believe the
news.
It didnt really hit me until he
didnt text me like he did every
morning. I didnt get a text and
thats when I knew something was
really wrong, Miller said.
Keenan Soto, Overland Park
sophomore and vice president of the
fraternity, said he had been excited
to get to know Hawkins better fol-
lowing his recent initiation.
He was a great friend to all of
us, Soto said. He had a great head
on his shoulders.
Soto said Hawkins was funny, yet
respectful.
He was a blast to be around
really funny and outgoing, Soto
said.
Hawkins is survived by two sis-
ters, Makenzie, 14, and Misty, 35;
his parents, Shawn and Rhonda;
and three grandparents.
Makenzie Hawkins said her
brothers death was a complete
shock to the entire family. She
said her brother was outgoing and
always had the biggest smile.
He was always really nice and he
gave me energy to keep going, she
said. I really looked up to him.
Makenzie said Dalton was smart
and easy to love.
He never did wrong. He was
always a straight-A student, she
said.
Miller said the fraternity, leader-
ship and residents of Ellsworth, and
leadership from Watkins were orga-
nizing a memorial service to take
place behind Ellsworth sometime
this week.
He was just a great guy who
didnt deserve to go this early, he
said.
The visitiation will be from 6 to
8 tonight at Amos Family Funeral
Home, 10901 Johnson Dr., Shawnee.
Hawkins funeral is scheduled for
10 a.m. Tuesday at Crossroads
Christian Church, 5855 Renner Rd.,
Shawnee. Both are open to the pub-
lic. Following the funeral, Hawkins
will be buried at Shawnee Mission
Memorial Gardens, 23215 75th St.,
Shawnee.

international
tamil tiger rebels to spare trapped civilians
ASSOCiATED PRESS
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka
Facing imminent battlefield
defeat, Sri Lankas Tamil Tiger
rebels declared a unilateral cease-
fire Sunday and called on the
government to halt its offensive
to spare the tens of thousands of
civilians trapped by the fighting.
The government rejected the
appeal and accused the rebels of
playing for time as the military
stands poised to rout them and
end the separatist war that has
plagued this Indian Ocean island
nation for a quarter century.
This is a joke, Defense
Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa
said of the rebels truce offer.
The cease-fire declaration came
amid a chorus of international
appeals for a pause in the fighting
to allow the estimated 50,000
ethnic Tamil civilians remaining
in the war zone to escape. The
government and aid groups
accuse the rebels of holding the
civilians hostage to blunt the
government offensive, a charge
the rebels deny.
Reports from the region
have detailed growing cases of
starvation and civilian casualties
in recent days.
The United Nations, which said
nearly 6,500 civilians had been
killed over the past three months,
had sent its top humanitarian
official on an emergency mission
to Sri Lanka to push for a cease-
fire. John Holmes met Sunday
with senior government officials
to underscore the urgent need
for humanitarian access by the
U.N. to the combat zone, U.N.
spokesman Gordon Weiss said.
The government barred aid
workers from the region when the
fighting escalated in September.
Holmes was to head Monday to
the northern region of Vavuniya
to inspect displacement camps
and hospitals that have been
overwhelmed by the more than
100,000 civilians who fled the
war zone over the past week.

InternatIonal
Swine fu monitored in several countries
BY FRANK JORDANS
Associated Press
GENEVA Canada became the
third country to confirm human
cases of swine flu Sunday as global
health officials considered whether
to raise the global pandemic alert
level.
Nations from New Zealand
to Spain also reported suspected
cases, and some warned citizens
against travel to North America
while others planned quarantines,
tightened rules on pork imports
and tested airline passengers for
fevers.
The six Canadian cases in Nova
Scotia and British Columbia all
had links to people who had trav-
eled to Mexico, and all are the
same swine flu strain.
The six people have recov-
ered, said Dr. David Butler-Jones,
Canadas chief public health offi-
cer.
But these are probably not the
last cases well see in Canada, he
said.
The news follows the World
Health Organizations decision
Saturday to declare the outbreak
first detected in Mexico and the
United States a public health
emergency of
international con-
cern.
A senior
World Health
Or g a n i z a t i o n
official said the
agencys emer-
gency committee
will meet for a sec-
ond time Tuesday
to examine the
spread of the virus before decid-
ing whether to increase the alert
for a possible pandemic, or global
epidemic.
The same strain of the A/H1N1
swine flu virus has been detected in
several locations in Mexico and the
United States, and it appears to be
spreading directly from human to
human, said Keiji Fukuda, WHOs
assistant director-general in charge
of health security.
Mexicos health minister says the
disease has killed up to 86 people
and likely sickened up to 1,400
since April 13. U.S. officials say the
virus has been found in New York,
California, Texas, Kansas and Ohio,
but no fatalities have
been reported.
Go v e r n me nt s
including China,
Russia and Taiwan
began planning to
put anyone with
symptoms of the
deadly virus under
quarantine.
Others were
increasing their
screening of pigs and pork imports
from the Americas or banning
them outright despite health offi-
cials reassurances that it was safe
to eat thoroughly cooked pork.
Some nations issued travel warn-
ings for Mexico and the United
States.
WHOs emergency committee
is still trying to determine exactly
how the virus has spread, Fukuda
said
Right now we have cases occur-
ring in a couple of different coun-
tries and in multiple locations,
he said. But we also know that in
the modern world that cases can
simply move around from single
locations and not really become
established.
Raising the pandemic alert phase
could entail issuing specific recom-
mendations to countries on how to
halt the disease. So far, WHO has
only urged govern-
ments to step up
their surveillance
of suspicious out-
breaks.
WHO Director-
General Margaret
Chan called the
outbreak a public
health emergen-
cy of pandemic
potential because
the virus can pass from human to
human.
Her agency was consider-
ing whether to issue nonbinding
recommendations on travel and
trade restrictions, and even border
closures. It is up to governments
to decide whether to follow the
advice.
Countries are encouraged to do
anything that they feel would be
a precautionary measure, WHO
spokeswoman Aphaluck Bhatiasevi
said. All countries need to enhance
their monitoring.
New Zealand said 10 students
who took a school trip to Mexico
likely had swine flu, and on
Monday it said three
students in a sec-
ond group just back
from Mexico likely
have it as well. Israel
said a man who
had recently visited
Mexico had been
hospitalized while
authorities try to
determine whether
he had the disease.
French Health Ministry officials
investigated four possible cases of
swine flu, but three were found
to be negative. In Brazil, a hos-
pital said a patient who arrived
from Mexico was hospitalized with
some swine flu symptoms.

Quarantine ofcers monitor travelers with a thermographic device at an arrival gate at Narita International Airport in Narita, east of Tokyo, Japan,
Sunday. Asian health authorities were on alert Sunday, with some checking passengers and pork products fromMexico.
Right now we have
cases occurring in a
couple diferent coun-
tries and in multiple
locations.

Mexico City residents
prepare for swine fu
BY DAVID KOOP
Associated Press
MEXICO CITY The cardinal
said Mass in a shuttered cathedral.
Soccer teams played to empty sta-
diums. Mexicos overcrowded cap-
ital locked itself indoors Sunday,
terrified by a new strain of swine
flu that was spreading around the
world.
On Sunday even the enormous
Zocalo plaza, where throngs of
families congregate for street
performances and open-air con-
certs, was all but empty. A hand-
ful of women wearing surgical
masks knelt on the plazas stones
and prayed, their arms reaching
upward in a lonely vigil.
Inside, Cardinal Norberto
Rivera delivered a sermon to
nearly empty pews, his pleas for
divine intervention relayed over
television and radio.
To the south of the city, the
Pumas soccer team took on the
Chivas at the picturesque Olympic
Stadium, decorated by muralist
Diego Rivera, but its sold-out vol-
canic-rock bleachers were empty.
They tied 1-1 as fans followed
from home on television.
Schools have been canceled
in the capital and the states of
Mexico and San Luis Potosi until
May 6. Hundreds of public events
including concerts and sports
matches have been called off to
keep people spreading the virus
in crowds. Zoos were closed and
visits to juvenile correction cen-
ters were suspended.
Twenty people have been sick-
ened in the United States and six
in Canada, and suspected cases
were being reported as far away as
Israel and New Zealand. The U.S.
declared a public health emer-
gency, providing for easier access
to flu tests and medications, and
enhanced surveillance along the
U.S.-Mexico border.
In Mexico, 86 deaths are sus-
pected to be swine flu, with 22
of those confirmed. Nearly 1,400
people are believed infected. In
Mexico City alone, five people
died since Saturday of influenza,
with two of them confirmed to be
swine flu, Mayor Marcelo Ebrard
said.
Most of those who died sought
medical help only after the dis-
ease was well advanced, Mexico
City Health Secretary Armando
Ahued said. By Sunday, throngs
of Mexicans were rushing to hos-
pitals, some with just a fever.

were canceled, and health workers screened airports and bus stations for signs of swine fu.

It had been almost six years
since senior Nickesha Anderson
had competed at the oldest track
meet in the country, the Penn
Relays.
The Hanover, Jamaica, sprinter
used to compete there in her high
school days and usually finished in
the top three.
This week marked her return,
though the relays went a little dif-
ferently. This time, she donned KU
colors and didnt see the same suc-
cess. Anderson didnt qualify for
regionals in the 100-meter dash or
the 4x400 team relay.
Her f el l ow
Jayhawks didnt
fare much better.
This weekend the
Jayhawks competed
at the Penn Relays
in Philadelphia, with
a goal to regionally
qualify for the 4x400
meter relay events.
Unfortunately nei-
ther mens or wom-
ens squads were able to reach
that goal.
The womens 4x400 team com-
prised of Anderson and seniors
Charity Stowers and ShaRay
Butler and freshman Shayla
Wilson came the closest to com-
peting in the collegiate finals.
Their preliminary time
of 3:47.44 had placed them as
first alternate for the womens
final making it possible for the
Jayhawks to run again if one of
teams failed to show.
We were ready to run,
Anderson said.
Unfortunately, all the teams did
come, leaving the Jayhawks out of
the finals. Anderson said she was
disappointed.
This was a chance so you
could run again, even though we
didnt run well the first time.
Anderson said.
Anderson had more than the
relay event to focus on. She was
also competing in the 100-meter
dash event.
There were three preliminary
heats in which the top three of
each heat would advance to the
finals. Anderson finished fourth,
running at 11.72 seconds.
Anderson said that she slipped
out of the starting blocks at the
beginning of the race.
There wasnt much I could
do, Anderson
said.
Anderson said
it was the first
time she had not
made the finals in
an event. But hav-
ing already quali-
fied for regionals
at the Jim Click
Shootout early in
the outdoor sea-
son, she viewed this race as prepara-
tion for regionals later in May.
For me it was just to improve
on my speed and time, Anderson
said. Get more feeling and get
back into race mode.
Like Anderson, freshman hur-
dler Keith Hayes ran two events:
the 4x400 and the 110-meter hur-
dle event.
It was a good environment,
good atmosphere. I just ran like
crap, Hayes said.
First came the 110-meter hur-
dles event in which he finished
fifth in his heat and 16th overall,
running 14.23 seconds.
I ran pretty bad. I ran out like
I had no idea what I was doing,
Hayes said.
Hayes said that he didnt remem-
ber the race all too well because it
happened so quickly, but did know
that he didnt execute the race the
way hed wanted to.
Right now Im
not living up to my
potential, Hayes
said. My day is
coming; I just cant
wait until it comes.
Hayes said that
literally right after
finishing the 110-
meter hurdle event,
he had to prepare to
run the anchor leg of the 4x400
relay with senior Jarrell Rollins,
junior Reggie Carter and sopho-
more Keron Toussaint.
We felt very prepared, Hayes
said. For myself, I had the drive,
but it wasnt good enough.
The mens squad finished third
in the preliminary heat, but didnt
qualify for the finals. Hayes said
that the weekend was overall a
disappointment.
We came in with an eye on the
prize and we came up empty-hand-
ed, Hayes said.
Hayes said he
was using this
experience along
with not making
the indoor champi-
onships as motiva-
tion for next year.
Its gas to the
fire, Hayes said.
Even though the
Jayhawks didnt
come away with
anything at the Penn Relays, com-
peting at the oldest track meet in
the U.S. was something they were
glad to experience.
Im glad I got the opportunity,
Hayes said. Not everybody gets to
run at Penn.
Edited by Sonya English
Junior Lauren Bonds re-
gionally qualifed, running her
best time in the 1500-meter
run at 4:27.16, taking third at
the Drake Relays.
Freshman jumper Corey
Fuller took second in the
triple jump, jumping 15.20
meters. Its the third meet in
a row that the freshman has
taken second in the triple
jump including at home at
the Kansas Relays.
Senior Jonathan Edwards
took 22nd overall in the mens
javelin throwing 47.91 meters.
In mens pole vault, junior Kirk
Cooper took 17th, jump-
ing 4.90 meters while junior
Jordan Scott, who is redshirt-
ing this outdoor season, took
sixth in the mens pole vault,
jumping 5.32 meters.
Both seniors Stephanie
Horton and Emily Reimer
placed in the top 15 in the
womens shot put. Horton
took 13th (14.47 meters) and
Reimer in 15th (14.37)
Kansas also competed in
the Penn relays and the Ne-
braska Open this weekend.

Nickesha Anderson, Hanover, Jamaica, senior, represented Kansas in the Penn Relays this
weekend, competing in the 100-meter dash event and the 4x400 meter relay. Anderson com-
peted in the Penn Relays when she was in high school, often fnishing in the top three, though
her return this weekend wasnt as successful.
The mens and womens squads didnt make qualifying times in the 4x400 relay

Fukudomes birthday blast
helps Cubs beat Cardinals
ST. LOUIS Kosuke Fukudome
didnt want a birthday celebration
from his teammates. He had no
trouble giving them a present,
though.
Fukudome hit a three-run hom-
er and drove in a career-high fve
runs on his 32nd birthday, help-
ing the Cubs end a four-game
skid with a 10-3 victory over the
St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
Fukudome went 3-for-4 to hike
his average to .371 after hitting
.257 last season. He hit his fourth
homer in the eighth of lefty
reliever Trever Miller to fnish the
scoring.
More than hitting, winning is
the most important thing, Fuku-
dome said through a translator.
Im too old for a cake and I dont
want to get fat.
However, hitting the homer of
a southpaw was something to
relish, Fukudome said.

Fans injured after crash
near end of Talladega
race
TaLLaDEGa, ala. Carl
Edwards began his charge to
the front with nine laps to go at
Talladega Superspeedway. He
never expected to end up air-
borne, upside down, sheet metal
spewing behind him as his car
sailed into the safety fence.
The fence bowed, but held,
and Edwards returned safely to
the racing surface another
Big One to thrill the fans.
Only this time, seven people
were hurt and one of the lasting
images of Sundays race will be
the pink-clad woman strapped
to a stretcher, her head in a
brace as she was airlifted to a
hospital after debris from Ed-
wards last-lap crash with winner
Brad Keselowski sailed into the
grandstands.
Edwards, who climbed from
the fiery wreckage and crossed
the finish line on foot, was
thankful it wasnt worse.
Im glad the car didnt go up
in the grandstands, he said. I
saw some fencing at one point
and that made me a little bit
nervous. I dont know if I could
live with myself if I ended up in
the grandstands.
Officials said seven fans
sustained non-life-threatening
injuries.
Dr. Bobby Lewis, Talladegas
onsite physician, said two
people in the crowd were air-
lifted from the track to avoid the
heavy traffic. One woman had a
possible broken jaw.
Well race like this until we
kill somebody, Edwards said,
then (NaSCaR) will change it.
The dangerous but dramatic
restrictor-plate racing came
under fire after Edwards attempt
to block Keselowskis winning
pass triggered the last of several
frightening accidents at one of
the sports most exciting tracks.

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!

ofcial rock song in Okla.
OKLAHOMA CITY Oklahoma
lawmakers who voted against
making a Flaming Lips tune the

Most state House members
voted for a resolution recogniz-

conservatives who said they were
ofended by the bands clothing

votes to keep it from being
adopted.
Gov. Brad Henry resolved the

earned more than half of the

victory over the Cornhuskers since
1997. It wasnt the same Nebraska
team that Price had faced in the
past, as recent Nebraska teams had
been ravaged by the Major League
draft. Regardless, it was still a step
forward for the program.
Weve made really good
progress, Price said. Its a really
nice feeling to get that monkey off
our back.
Kansas pitched well all day
Sunday, with sophomore right-
hander T.J. Walz striking out a
career-high 10 in game one. And
although freshman right-hander
Lee Ridenhour didnt have his best
stuff, allowing seven hits in six-
plus innings, he kept game two
manageable for the Jayhawks.
Were pitching young guys, and
our pitching is better than theirs,
Price said.
Kansas faced a do-or-die
situation before game two. After
the complete team performance
in the 8-2 game-one victory,
Kansas Big 12 record sat at 9-8.
The Jayhawks stared down a game
that could have brought their
record to 9-9 before heading into
conference power Oklahoma next
weekend. So it made it all the
more sweet when Kansas climbed
back in game two.
The guys like each other, Price
said. And theyre playing for each
other. I think that some of those
rallies are a result of that energy.
The difference between being 9-9
and 10-8 is off the charts.
If it weren't for Stanfields quick
turnaround from the bench to
the field, Kansas might have been
facing that 9-9 conference record.
But Stanfield isnt surprised. And
neither are his teammates.
I have a lot of confidence in
Stanfield, Heere said. Hes a
good player. He did a good job at
handling the pressure and taking
Robbys spot.

BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Its not one of the names you
hear too often when you talk
about Kansas baseball that
honor is generally reserved for
Tony Thompson, Buck Afenir
and the pitcher of your choosing
but sophomore right fielder
Brian Heere is thrusting himself
into the discussion of Kansas
stars on the diamond.
With an opposite-field, two-
run home run into a 22 mile-
per-hour breeze, no less in the
first inning of Sundays double-
header and a run scored later in
the third, Heere single-handedly
provided the Jayhawks with all
the offense they would need in
their 8-2 rout in game one.
That was huge, said sopho-
more T.J. Walz, who earned the
victory in game one with 7.2
innings of work.
Its so much better to go out
and pitch with a lead. You dont
have to be as perfect when you
can trust your offense to pro-
duce for you.
In the process he raised his
average to a team-leading .394
(though he settled to a more
human .386 by the days end).
I had a pretty good fall, so
Ive just been trying to redo those
things, Heere said. Just see what
I was seeing, feel what I was feel-
ing. Its just being patient and try-
ing to find a good pitch to hit.
After his one-man-wrecking-
crew performance in Game 1,
he went 2-for-4 with three runs,
three RBI, a double and a hom-
erit had to be expected that
Heere would fall back to earth a
little bit. Or not.
He hit a game-tying double
in the sixth inning when the
Jayhawks were staring down a
2-1 deficit and was integral in the
Jayhawks 6-4 win on both sides
of the ball.
He was unbelievable today,
coach Ritch Price said. Thats as
fine a performance as weve had
from somebody since Ive been
here.
Even when he was not on the
field, Heere made a difference
for the Jayhawks on Sunday.
Freshman James Stanfield drove
in what ended up being the win-
ning runs with Heere standing in
the on-deck circle.
I think they were wanting to
pitch to me more because Heere
was behind me, Stanfield said.
They just didnt want to face
him.
Heeres quiet production has
gone largely unnoticed, but it
hasnt fallen off Prices radar. The
right fielders unbelievable day
was just a microcosm of what he
has done this season.
I just marvel at his stats, and
then I marvel watching him play
every day, Price said. I thought
he had a chance to be a really
good player, but I had no idea
hed be able to play at the level
he has played at. Its been fun to
watch.

Paging Tony
ThomPson
Slugging third baseman
Tony Thompson disappeared
at the plate for most of the
weekend, a trend that has run
back all the way to last Sun-
day. Since his second home
run last Sunday against Texas
Tech, Thompson didnt have
a hit in four straight games
against Division 1 opponents
until his fnal at bat Sunday.
beware of The hog
With Sundays sweep of Ne-
braska the Jayhawks improved
to 21-3 in their home stadium.
Hoglund Ballpark has never
seen a team go above .500
in conference, but this years
Jayhawks are threatening to
do just that. They stand at 10-8
with nine conference games
to play. We just love playing
at the Hog, sophomore Brian
Heere said.

Students in dormitories
should aim at adulthood
One thing we have lost in
our generation is respect for
our dormitories and peers.
After living in Hash for two
years now, I understand that
we get annoyed because were
cramped, or we hate Es food,
or we dont want to follow the
rules because were adults.
But just because the majority
of students are at least 18 does
not give them the right to refer
to themselves as adults.
If you want to be treated
like an adult, then act like one,
is what my father has told me
for the past few years. Just like
punishing a child, you punish
the adult because they did
wrong. However, many of us
feel we are too old or too inde-
pendent to be told what to do.
Perhaps if we acted like
adults maybe no one would
be babying us. As an employer
in Hash, I fnd more of these
adults than I expected. I fnd
profanity written on the walls,
elevator lights removed, trash
left in the lobbies, and flthy
bathrooms.
I am ashamed to show
my face to the janitorial staf
because I am embarrassed that
the dorm is left this way. Think
of it this way: These dorms are
our homes. Would you trash
your house back home? Of
course not. Besides the fact
that our parental units would
beat the living hell out of us, we
simply dont want to live in flth.
Hash was renovated in 2006, so
it is the nicest dorm on campus.
In order for it to be kept that
way we need to respect it and
the future students who will
live here.
I feel like saying dont shoot
the messenger whenever
someone gives me shit about
telling them to not do some-
thing. Residence hall stafers
can get tired of the rudeness,
attitudes, disrespect and overall
bullshit that we get from resi-
dents. Hey, were students too,
just doing our job and making
money.
If you dont like the rules that
are set out by student housing,
if you feel the staf is pointless
for enforcing rules, then by all
means live of-campus next
year. Deal with the police in-
stead of a desk assistant every
time a complaint is fled.
So next time you decide
to destroy something for
whatever reason, just ask
yourself, am I acting like an
adult?
Ashley DeSandre is a sophomore,
from Pocono Lake, Penn.
I
n the interest of full disclo-
sure, let me preface this col-
umn by stating on the record
that I have a long-standing fear of
bicycles (more specifically, people
riding bicycles) that grew out of
a harrowing experience from my
childhood. When I was seven,
I was walking with my parents
in the park when, filled with the
boundless energy of childhood
stupidity, I decided to take off
running. Separated from my
parents, I heard the tell-tale ring
of a bicycle coming from behind
me. Assuming that this was uni-
versal bicyclist language for, Get
out of the way, I am on a bicycle,
I jumped to the other side of the
sidewalk.
Apparently, the real message
the cyclist was trying to impart
through ringing was, Do not alter
your path, I am on a bicycle. The
grown man on the bicycle jumped
off so as not to hurt himself as
the bicycle crashed into me. He
landed on his feet, walked over
to the bicycle, which had stopped
half a foot from the child he had
just brutalized, and rode off. I lay
on the ground in a daze until I
realized I was covered in a variety
of horrible boo-boos and immedi-
ately began crying uncontrollably.
My parents (who werent ever
actually that far from me) took me
home as I bawled. Ive been terri-
fied of bicyclists ever since.
With that, let me give you the
crux of this column: Bicycles
should be banned and bicyclists
should all be thrown in prison.
Perhaps the key should be forgot-
ten. Maybe they should be subject
to public flogging when they try to
sneak a pleasant Sunday afternoon
ride through the park. They are
monsters and they deserve to be
punished for three primary rea-
sons, which I will impart to you
now.
1. Legally, in Lawrence, bicy-
clists are required to keep to the
road. They seldom actually do
this and seem content to endanger
the walking public whenever it
fits their diabolical designs. A few
weeks ago I watched as someone
tried to ride his bike full-speed
across Wescoe Beach. He didnt
care that people had to jump to
get out of his way; he was too
damn hip on his bicycle with his
pants partially rolled up. When
I walk through Veterans Park to
go to class, I am routinely forced
to relive my childhood trauma
as cyclists tear ass on sidewalks
where children play. Why do they
feel that having two wheels gives
them more of a right to the side-
walk?
2. They frequently retard the
flow of traffic by being obnoxious-
ly slow when they do decide to
ride on the road. When those who
have places to be honk or pass,
they then yell things like, I have
a right to the road, too! This isnt
even true. Roads were made for
cars and totally rockin motorcy-
cles. Bike paths in national parks
were made for bicycles. It gets
worse when cyclists organize and
form things like Critical Mass
that occupies the entire road and
inconveniences everyone. Some of
us actually do have jobs and places
to be, you smelly hippies!
3. They ignore any and all road
signs during such time that they
occupy the road, further invali-
dating their claim to a stake in it.
Running red lights and stop signs
is just dangerous, stupid and
inconsiderate, you beatniks!
All this talk of saving the
environment is just globo-facist
propaganda. Everyone knows that
the fresh scent of car exhaust is
like bottled America. A world
where my children dont come
home at night coughing up black,
viscous goo is not a world that I
want to live in.

THE
THINGS I
BELIEVE
By Andy BockelmAn
U. of Northern Colorado
The Mirror
A
ttractive people are
the only ones worth
the worlds attention.
Unless, of course, youve
got talent. Then you can be
forgiven for your appearance.
Such is the message sent with
the popularity of up-and-
coming Scottish singer Susan
Boyle.
Boyle, 47, made a huge
splash that rippled worldwide
when she appeared on Britains
Got Talent facing off against
renowned nitpicker Simon
Cowell. The heavyset chanteuse
plain and dowdy by her
own admission shocked the
crowd by belting out the Les
Misrables tune I Dreamed
a Dream. Since then, the
Internet has been abuzz with
the emergence of a fresh,
musical voice who represents
the common people.
Much has been made of
Boyles ugly duckling story and
her background. Originally
surprising people with a false
confession of never being
kissed, Boyle seems to take
pride in making her life sound
worse than it is. This kind
of media fodder is amusing
in a kind of self-awareness
viewpoint as the singer can
keep everyone guessing as to
what she will do next.
With a marketing campaign
of having an unglamorous
appearance combined with her
amazing voice, Boyle could
stand to make a phenomenal
career out of her tale. But
the public is uninterested in
keeping Boyle as she is.
Making role models out
of those who dont quite fit
the traditional Hollywood
standards Nia Vardalos in
My Big Fat Greek Wedding or
America Ferrera in Ugly Betty
has been a pet project of the
entertainment industry lately.
Though while such endeavors
promote a differentiation in
standards of beauty, these have
been counterproductive more
often than not, turning talented
women into martyrs of body
image.
To quote another well-known
musical act from across the
pond, Another one bites the
dust.
Though Boyle has not been
quick to jump into makeover
mode, much has been made
about recent facial touch-ups,
most notably her newly curled
hair and trimmed eyebrows,
chronicled in the tasteless E!
Online story, Big Plucking
Deal.
A joke about Boyle on a
recent episode of South Park
said what were all thinking: too
much hype. The news media
outlets have gone out of their
way to promote Boyles offbeat
look more than her singing
and, as a result, have become
guilty of preaching the same
narrow-mindedness that made
it easy for her to be overlooked
in the first place.
One can only hope that Boyle
can rise above this misguided
attention to prove true the
lyrics of the song that made her
famous, a cry for a better life
filled with love.

The Jayhawks set the tone on
Saturday, smacking seven early hits
to jump out to a 5-0 lead. Baylor
didnt do itself any favors, looking
like the Bad News Bears in the
field. The Bears committed three
errors on the game, in addition to
several other poor throws and mis-
cues that Kansas capitalized on.
Baylor chipped away for a few
runs off of Vertelka, but the junior
hurler settled down to earn the vic-
tory. On the game Vertelka allowed
only two earned runs to the Bears,
who entered the day hitting .310 as
a team.
Game two started shortly there-
after, with Baylor carrying a 2-1 lead
into the fourth inning.
And then came the rain, with
severe thunderstorms and a tornado
warning putting the game on hold
until Sunday morning. Ironically,
the second game was originally
scheduled for Sunday before the
threat of inclement weather bumped
it up to Saturday.
With the wind blowing hard on
Sunday, Baylor came out a com-
pletely different team. The Bears
extended their lead to 7-1, knock-
ing George from the ballgame and
putting Kansas into a seemingly
deep hole.
But the Jayhawks fought back
with four quick runs in the fifth,
three coming on a towering home
run from Chapple. Kansas contin-
ued to knock around Baylor ace
Whitney Canion, scattering nine
hits, including home runs from
Clark and sophomore outfielder Liz
Kocon. Ultimately though, with the
winds swirling at Arrocha Ballpark,
the Jayhawks were unable to keep
Baylor off the scoreboard.
The Bears tallied 17 hits, a season
high allowed by Kansas pitchers.
Senior third baseman Brette Reagan
came as advertised, as the three-
time All American smacked three
hits, including a soaring home run
two lead Baylor.
Despite the loss in game two, the
Jayhawks remained positive after
the contest, proud to have played
some of their most inspired games
of the year.
Im so happy with how we
played, junior first baseman
Amanda Jobe said. Sure, we lost
the second game, but we played two
of our best games of the season.
Bunge echoed those sentiments,
offering high praise for the teams
play.
I couldnt be happier with the
teams effort, Bunge said. We hit
the ball very hard against a great
pitcher, and we played with a ton of
enthusiasm and lots of heart.
With all the emotion and reflec-
tion, in a way Senior Day has come
to symbolize the end of a season.
That aside though, the Jayhawks
know there is still some work to
be done.
We still have a few weeks of
games left, McCaulley said. We
need to finish up strong and talk
about all the mushy stuff later.

Meghan leads by example for
the rest of the girls, ONeil said.
Shes an amazing athlete and stu-
dent for the rest of the girls to look
up to.
Kansas has never made the
NCAA Regional tournament as a
team and has only had a few indi-
viduals qualify for the tournament.
Last year, junior Emily Powers qual-
ified as an individual for the tourna-
ment. With an outstanding finish at
the Big 12 tournament though, this
could be the first time the Jayhawks
make an appearance at the NCAA
regionals.
ONeil said the selection com-
mittee for the tournament would
hold a large phone conference to
announce its selections sometime
today. ONeil said that the teams
performance may have moved
them up in the rankings but that
she was not sure it would be enough
to qualify them.
I dont know whats going to
happen, because were going to be
on the bubble for getting in, ONeil
said.

After 13 years as the coach of the University of Kansas softball
program, Tracy Bunge announced Friday that she would be
stepping down from the position at the end of this season.
Bunge is the winningest coach in Jayhawk softball history,
having earned 405 victories during her 17-year tenure. Under
Bunge, the Jayhawks went to the NCAA tournament four times,
won 30 games 10 times and won the Big 12 postseason title in
2006.
Before coaching, Bunge was an All-American pitcher for the
Jayhawks, a title she earned in 1986. She still co-owns the record
for lowest career ERA at 0.68. Bunge said it was time for her to
move on to other endeavors.
This 17-year run has been a wonderful experience, Bunge
said in a statement. I will always be a Jayhawk, and will continue
to support the University and the softball program. It is time for
a change in my professional career, and I am eager to take on
some new challenges.

Iraqi leader condemns deadly U.S. raid on city
BY BRIAN MURPHY
Associated Press
BAGHDAD Iraqs prime
minister denounced a deadly
U.S. raid on Sunday as a crime
that violated the security pact
with Washington and demanded
American commanders hand over
those responsible to face possible
trial in Iraqi courts.
The U.S. military, however,
strongly denied that it overstepped
its bounds and said it notified Iraqi
authorities in advance in accor-
dance with the rules that took
effect this year governing U.S. bat-
tlefield conduct.
The pre-dawn raid in the south-
ern Shiite city of Kut ended with at
least one woman dead after being
caught in gunfire and six suspects
arrested for alleged links to Shiite
militia factions.
But efforts were quickly
launched in an attempt to tone
down the dispute.
The six detainees were released,
said Major Gen. Read Shakir
Jawdat, head of the provincial
police that includes Kut. At the
same news conference, U.S. Col.
Richard Francey offered condo-
lences to the family of the woman
killed.
The fallout marks the most seri-
ous test of the security pact so far
and could bring new strains during
a critical transition period.
U.S. forces plan to move out
of most major Iraqi cities by the
end of June in the first phase of
a promised withdrawal from the
country by the end of 2011.
A statement from Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki in his
role as commander general of Iraqi
forces called the raid a viola-
tion of the security pact.
He asked the U.S. military to
release the detainees and hand over
those responsible for this crime to
the courts, according to an Iraqi
security official who read the state-
ment to The Associated Press.
Elsewhere in Iraq, gunmen
stormed two Christian homes in
separate attacks in the ethnically
diverse city of Kirkuk, killing at
least two Chaldean Christians and
one Assyrian, said police Brig.
Burham Taib.
The northern city is a fault
line between the majority Kurds
and Arabs, but also includes eth-
nic Turks and various Christian
groups. A U.N. report given to
Iraqi leaders last week recom-
mends giving Kirkuk a special
status with oversight by both the
Kurd region and the central gov-
ernment in Baghdad.

Storms, tornados hit
Midwest over weekend
DES MOINES, Iowa Strong
thunderstorms packing pos-
sible tornadoes battered parts
of the Midwest on Sunday for a
second straight day, damaging at
least half a dozen buildings and
a campground in Iowa and two
Oklahoma homes.
Tornadoes were reported in
eastern Iowa, western Oklahoma
and south-central Kansas, but
there were no immediate reports
of serious injuries.
In Kansas, a possible tornado
touched down in the Lake Afton
area southwest of Wichita. Two
people were injured when the
camper they were in was fipped
by the storm, said Sgt. Oscar Tho-
masson of the Sedgwick County
Sherifs Department.
Strong to severe thunderstorms
moved across the southern two-
thirds of the state throughout the
afternoon, with some areas seeing
nickel- to quarter-sized hail.
Numerous roads and bridges
were closed because of heavy
rainfall that accompanied the
storms on back-to-back days.

Chrysler one step closer
to avoiding liquidation
DETROIT Chrysler LLC
cleared another major obstacle
to its survival Sunday when it
reached a tentative deal for
concessions with the United Auto
Workers union.
The troubled automaker is
just days from a Thursday U.S.
government deadline to gain
concessions from its unions and
debtholders and form an alliance
with Italys Fiat Group SpA or face
almost certain liquidation.
The UAW announced the deal
in a news release Sunday night,
calling the concessions painful but
saying the deal took advantage of
the Obama administration giving
Chrysler and its workers a second
chance.
The administration in February
rejected Chryslers restructuring
plan and said it could not stand on
its own.

However, the Gophers
dominated from that point on.

margin of victory in the First

Club team splits frst
home series with K-State
The Kansas club softball
team played its frst-ever home
games this weekend, splitting
a two-game series with Kansas
State at Broken Arrow Park.
Kansas won the frst game
8-7 in extra innings but lost 4-0
in the second game. The team
was coming of a two-game
sweep of Nebraska last week-
end in Lincoln, Neb.
Afton Gray, Fort Scott fresh-
man, pitched all eight innings
in game one, and Stephanie
Blevins, Anthony junior, made
several diving catches in the
outfeld over the course of the
doubleheader and had a key
hit in the eighth inning to help
preserve the victory.
This is the inaugural season
for the club softball team. The
team is 3-1 this spring against
other club teams and 3-2 over-
all. Kansas next games are a
rematches with Nebraska on
Saturday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
at Clinton Lake Sport Com-
plex.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Brandon
Inge is back at third base, and its
paying off at the plate.
Inge hit a two-run homer and
Armando Galarraga pitched six
solid innings to help the Detroit
Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals
3-2 on Sunday.
Inge connected in the second,
driving a 1-1 pitch from Sidney
Ponson out to left with Jeff Larish
aboard after a single. Inge is hit-
ting .323 with seven homers and
17 RBIs after slumping to a .205
average, 11 homers and 51 RBIs
last year.
Hes back at third base where
he wants to be, manager Jim
Leyland said. It wasnt his fault
last year. Its just the way it worked
out. He knows hes going to be in
there everyday for the most part.
Hes comfortable and I think its
helped him a lot.
Hes in a good groove. I dont
want to make a big deal out of his
home runs. I just want him to hit
the ball hard. If he does that, hell
hit some home runs because hes
real strong.
Inge, who started 56 games at
catcher and 33 at third last year,
has reached base in 18 consecu-
tive games, the longest streak by
a Tiger to begin the season since
he started 2005 by reaching in the
first 21 games.
Im not even trying to hit
home runs, Inge said. I dont
even think about the outcome.
Im trying to get prepared as the
pitch is coming and let everything
I worked on in this offseason take
over, like the hand position and
to take over naturally, not think-
ing about it about it all. I say the
mindset is the best thing I got
going right now.
Galarraga (3-0) allowed one
run and three hits, struck out
seven and walked five.
It was tough, Galarraga said.
Im not happy at all, too many
walks and getting behind hitters.
Im happy because we won.
Jose Guillen singled in Coco
Crisp in the third but the Royals
left the bases loaded when Alberto
Callaspo grounded out. Kansas
City is 2-for-17 with the bases
loaded this season.
Bobby Seay, Ryan Perry and
Fernando Rodney held the Royals
to one run and one hit over the
final three innings to preserve
the victory. Rodney gave up Mike
Aviles one-out homer in the ninth
before finishing for his fourth save
in four tries.
Detroit went ahead 3-1 in the
fifth. Josh Anderson, who went
3-for-3 and has hit safely in seven
of his past eight games, led off
with a single and stole second.
Anderson moved up on Adam
Everetts groundout and scored on
Dane Sardinhas sacrifice fly.
Over the course of the year,
there are going to be a lot of one-
run, two-run games, so anytime
you can manufacture runs its
huge, Anderson said. Our pitch-
ing was phenomenal today. It was
great to get a win today because
anytime you can go on the road
for 12 days and finish above .500
(5-4) thats big.
Ponson (0-3) gave up three
runs and six hits in eight innings.
He struck out seven and walked
none after walking 10 in 15 1-3
innings over his previous three
starts. He threw 73 of his 107
pitches for strikes.
I attacked the zone much bet-
ter, Ponson said. I got more
strikes than balls. I just had one
bad slider to Inge and it cost me
the game. It was up. Ill take this
kind of start any day.
The Royals went 1-for-12 with
runners in scoring position in
losing the final two games to the
Tigers.
The bottom line is weve got
to get the big hit, manager Trey
Hillman said. Weve got to get
the offense going and plate some
runs. Its not just one guy. Were
not clicking.
Royals catcher Miguel Olivo
struck out three times, bringing
his total to 17 in 38 at-bats.
