The Office of Study Abroad can-
celed a language study program in
Mexico Thursday because of public
health concerns surrounding the
H1N1 influenza virus, also known
as the swine flu. In the meantime,
several international students made
plans to return to their home insti-
tutions early.
The summer study abroad pro-
gram, in Puebla, Mexico, near
Mexico City, was scheduled to begin
May 15 and had sixteen students
enrolled.
The Office of Study Abroad
always places the well-being of our
students as our highest priority,
said Sue Lorenz, director of the
Office of Study Abroad, in a media
release.
Jill Jess, associate director
for news and media relations of
University Relations, said the stu-
dents would be compensated for
their airfare cancellation costs and
that the office would attempt to
find suitable alternate study abroad
plans for the students.
University officials initially said
the flu outbreak was unlikely to
affect study abroad plans, but after
the World Health Organization
raised the international pandemic
alert Wednesday, Provost Richard
Lariviere and staff from several other
offices on campus began daily situa-
tion update meetings Thursday.
Several international students
received e-mails from their home
universities, and made last-minute
plans to return to their countries.
The e-mails said that the universi-
ties would allow them to leave if
they felt uncomfortable about the
potential health threat of swine flu,
which has stricken two Kansas resi-
dents.
Aurore Tabarand, Vichy, France,
graduate student, said she got an
e-mail from her home university,
Groupe ESC Clermont, Wednesday,
saying officials there would support
students who decided to leave. She
said ESC Clermont officials said
worries about final projects and
exams should not prevent students
from leaving a situation they felt
uncomfortable with. Other inter-
national institutions have informed
their students the same, Tabarand
said.
Tabarand said she decided to
leave after speaking with her par-
ents and that, although she felt the
situation was under control, she
worried what may happen in the
next few weeks.
I was fearing not being able to
go home if something did happen,
she said.
Tabarand is planning to take a
flight back to France on Saturday.
She had to pay a 150 Euro ($199)
charge for taking her flight early.
She said she knew of two other stu-
dents from her university who had
made the decision to leave Kansas
early.

Patients show artwork they created during battles with cancer
BY LAUREN HENDRICK
lhendrick@kansan.com

For every luminary candle
placed around the track there is a
story behind the flame.
The annual KU Relay for Life
begins at 6 p.m. today in Memorial
Stadium. Thirty student groups
will walk around the stadium until
6 a.m. Saturday in memory of
loved ones lost to cancer and in
honor of those still battling the
disease.
The Spencer Museum of Art
Student Advisory Board will
participate in its first relay tonight
in hopes of not only raising money
toward a cure, but also sharing
the healing power of art with the
community.
Dawn Tallchief, assistant director
of military graduate education,
said making art helped her come
to terms with breast cancer.
It helped me educate and
inform others, Tallchief said. It
helped me show women its not as
scary as it looks.
Tallchief s art will be showcased
in the student advisory boards art
display at its campsite at the relay.
We really believe in the idea of
healing through the arts by letting
go of pain and frustration, Sarah
Bluvas, Atlanta junior, said.
Bluvas, who is a captain on the
advisory boards relay team, said
art was a way for cancer patients to
express themselves and grow.
Tallchief, who was diagnosed
with breast cancer in May 2007,
said making art was a therapeutic
outlet during a dim period in her
life.
She said she hoped her art could
show the story of her personal
battle with breast cancer and
convey her recovery. She said she
was now healthy and needed a
mammogram only once a year.
Bluvas said raising money for
the Relay for Life was important
to her because the reality of cancer
was close to home.

Yesterday morning was not a
typical Thursday morning for
Colin Riesman.
His usual routine of sleeping
in, eating and watching TV
was instead jam-packed with
meetings ranging in topics from
construction on campus to the
Universitys budget.
When Riesman, Overland Park
senior, grabbed lunch yesterday,
it was at the Impromptu Caf
with the man whose life he had
emulated for three hours
Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
Again not a typical Thursday
morning.
While Riesman was chancellor
for a day as part of a program
by the same name, Hemenway
himself was left without much
to do. Because Riesman didnt
have Thursday morning classes,
Hemenway wasnt able to take
notes for Riesman, who won
the Chancellor for a Day raffle.
Riesmans experience as the head
honcho on campus ended after
he and Hemenway ate lunch
together, which was a little too
soon, Riesman said, as he had a
business economics test in his
2:30 class that he said he wished
Hemenway could have taken for
him.
My teacher probably would
give him an A, Riesman said.
Riesman submitted six tickets
into the Chancellor for a Day
raffle, organized by Michael
Gillaspie, Ashland senior and
student body vice president.
Gillaspie announced Riesmans
name as the raffles winner
Monday, and notified him by
sending him a Facebook message
and an e-mail. Riesman said he
was very excited to have won and
was glad the money he paid for
the raffle tickets supported Jubilee
Caf, a breakfast kitchen for the
low-income and homeless people
of Lawrence.

Dinner, dancing, poetry
honor African traditions
The African Students Associa-
tion is hosting Sisimuka Afrika,
Sunday at 6 p.m. in Woodruf
Auditorium in the Kansas Union,
to celebrate the diverse culture
of Africa through dance, music,
poetry, fashion and food.
Selema Lawson-Jack, presi-
dent of the African Students
Association, said the group de-
voted this year to restructuring
ASA and letting the University
know they were still here.
Sisimuka Afrika is an oppor-
tunity to break the stereotypes
and misconceptions that people
may have of Africa and introduce
to the University community
what our culture is really about,
Lawson-Jack, Port-Harcourt,
Nigeria, senior, said.
The event will feature music
and dance performances such as
West African traditional dances
called Ndombolo and Coupe
Decale. There will be East African
dances from the Luo tribe in
Kenya and modern dances such
as Stepping. The ASA dance
team Les Belles de KU will also
perform.
Immediately after the show,
attendees can visit the Ecumeni-
cal Christian Ministries to taste
authentic African cuisine while
listening to African music. The
dinner will cost $6 for adults and
$3 for children. The food for the
Taste of Afrika Dinner will be
made by the African Women As-
sociation here in Lawrence.
Lawson-Jack said foods from
all over Africa such as jollof
rice, fufu, moi-moi, plantains,
puf-puf and meat pie, to name
a few.
Lawson-Jack said the pro-
ceeds from the dinner would
go to Support International, a
non-proft organization whose
goal is to provide clean water for
developing countries in Africa.
A lot of people say that they
want to help out but they dont
know how. Now, they can help
out by going to the dinner,
Lawson-Jack said.
Lawson-Jack said it was
satisfying for her to see how
committed the African students
had been making the event a
success.
Just seeing a group of stu-
dents uniting for a great cause is
the satisfaction I get from help-
ing put on this event, Lawson-
Jack said. It says to me that even
though we are in a foreign land,
we have not forgotten our roots,
which is very important.

Review: The aroma alone that
surrounds WheatFields should
be enough to bring anyone in.
Its wood-fred Spanish oven has
been blessing Lawrence with the
smell of fresh bread for years. But
what brings most people here is
the caf and its delicious dishes.
WheatFields caf ofers
original sandwiches, soups, and
salads every day of the week. The
extensive menu has a long list of
sandwiches served up on their
signature breads, such as the
roasted chicken breast on a ba-
guette, served with fresh greens,
roasted red peppers, and drizzled
with oil and vinegar, or the pas-
trami and swiss on sourdough rye
with whole-grain mustard. And
the daily specials either quiche,
empanada or focaccia change
from day to day, enticing every-
one with something new when
they enter the door.
I tried the empanada of the
day and the house salad last time
I went, and both were uniquely
WheatFields. I got the delicious
white wine vinaigrette on the
house salad - which was topped
with cucumbers, beets, and a
bean mix. And the empanada
had a buttery, faky crust that was
awesome. My only problem was
fnding a place to sit.
It makes sense that Wheat-
Fields has become a Lawrence
staple. I think the smell will bring
people in for years to come,
while the unique menu and local
atmosphere will keep them com-
ing back.

forced her to marry him last year
in exchange for about $13,000,
her lawyer said Thursday.
Saudi Arabia has come under
increasing criticism at home
and abroad for permitting child

The girl was allowed to

an out-of-court settlement had
been reached in the case, said
her lawyer, Abdulla al-Jeteli.

Wall Street ends with
best month in 9 years
NEW YORK April was Wall
Streets best month in nine
years ofering some of the
most powerful evidence yet
that maybe the economy is
about to begin a turnaround.
The Standard & Poors 500
index, considered the most re-
liable measure of the broader
market, climbed 9.4 percent
in April, its best performance
since March 2000, the peak of
the dot-com bubble. The Dow
Jones industrial average shot
up 7.4 percent in April, on top
of a 7.7 percent gain in March.
Thats more than a relief for
investors. Its a potential eco-
nomic indicator, because the
stock market tends to get back
on its feet before the economy
does. In downturns over the
past 60 years, the S&P hit bot-
tom an average of four months
before a recession ended and
about nine months before
unemployment hit its peak.

She said her mom was diagnosed

cancer resurfaced in 2001 and 2003.
She said her mom was currently in

Bluvas and her relay team have
raised $1,395 for the event.
Sierra Falters, Lincoln, Neb.,

student advisory board hoped
to meet its goal of $2,000 before

proud of the amount it had already

It was a good thing to donate
some money, or to do anything to
help people who are less fortunate,
Riesman said.
Gillaspie said the raffle raised
about $600 for Jubilee Caf.
We dont have a constant flow
of money coming in, so every year
we pay for the necessary amount
of food to feed the 6,200 low-
income and homeless people that
we serve every Tuesday and Friday
morning, Gillaspie said.
Gillaspie said he hoped
Chancellor for a Day would become
an annual event.
I hope it continues to grow to be
something that people want to be a
part of and something to help the
dialogue between administrators
and students, Gillaspie said.
Gay Lynn Clock, secretary to the
chancellor, who set up Riesmans
schedule, said it was a chance for a
student to see the inner workings
of the chancellors daily life.
Its valuable for students to see
how much work it actually is,
Clock said. Its a very challenging
position.
It wasnt Riesmans typical
Thursday morning routine, but it
was interesting to see what a day in
the life of the chancellor was like,
he said.
Its pretty cool how the
chancellor is in charge of
everything and helps run such a
big organization, Riesman said.

Johan Bagewitz, Kristianstad,
Sweden, senior, first contacted offi-
cials at his university in Vxj. The
university responded that it would
be supportive if he decided to leave.
Bagewitz said officials he spoke
with Tuesday at the Office of Study
Abroad told him the University of
Kansas would be supportive of him
choosing to leave if he was able to
arrange to finish his final projects
in Sweden, which he said his profes-
sors allowed him to do.
This is my personal decision,
he said. No one has forced me to
leave, but everyone has been sup-
portive of my decision.
Bagewitz said that he had
arranged to leave on Saturday, but
that he was waiting to decide if he
wanted to go.
I dont really know what could
make me stay, though, he said.
Bagewitz said he began worrying
about the swine flu after speaking
with friends studying in Mexico.
Although cases of swine flu have
been reported in Europe, he said
international students considered
the threat to be higher in Kansas.
The U.S. is way closer to where
it all started, he said. I think it is
safer to be in Sweden than in the
U.S.
Bagewitz and others said the deci-
sion to leave was a difficult one.
Im kind of divided, Tabarand
said. Its mixed feelings because Im
happy to be going home, but kind of
sad to be going so quickly.

Universitys assessment of the flu

Hats of for Hemenways 14 years as chancellor
BY CYNTHIA BOLL
Associated Press
APELDOORN, Netherlands
Bright skies and a festive Queens
Day mood brought thousands to a
street corner to greet their popular
monarch, many of them wearing
the bright orange national colors
and funny orange wigs.
As Queen Beatrix and her family
passed by in an open bus, a black
car suddenly burst through police
barriers, catapulting spectators
into the air before it slammed into
a stone monument.
Five people were killed and
13 wounded as the queen and
her family looked on in disbelief
Thursday. The speeding car passed
within a few yards of their bus, but
none of the royals were hurt.
Officials called it a deliberate
attack on the House of Orange, the
monarchy that has symbolically
ruled Holland since 1815 and is
widely respected if not revered.
I think that it has become
clear that this happened with
premeditation, Prime Minister
Jan Peter Balkenende said.
Neither he nor law enforcement
agencies would give a motive. But
Dutch media, citing neighbors,
said the assailant was recently fired
from his job and was to be evicted
from his home. Police identified
him as a 38-year-old Dutch man
with no history of mental illness
or police record, but would not
release his name.
The man said that his action
was aimed at the royal family,
said prosecutor Ludo Goossens.
Officials in Apeldoorn said the
suspect had a map of the queens
route.
The driver apparently acted
alone and was not linked to any
terrorist or ideological group,
authorities said. No explosives
were found in his car or home.
What began as a great day has
ended in a terrible tragedy that
has shocked us all deeply, the
queen said.
ASSOcIATED PRESS
Police ofcers surround a car moments after it slammed into a monument in Apeldoorn,

is well-known for the straw hat he
wears to commencement. But he
has worn many other hats during
his 14 years as
chancellor.
F r i e n d s ,
c o l l e a g u e s ,
students and
alumni will
celebrate all of
He me nwa y s
hats on
Saturday dur-
ing Hats Off to
Hemenway, a program commem-
orating his time as the Universitys
leader.
Theres Professor Hemenway
the English teacher with a passion
for literature whose office shelves
are filled with hundreds and hun-
dreds of books.
But theres also Chancellor Bob
the approachable man, a par-
ent and grandparent himself, who
keeps his door open to students
and faculty and supports their
activities and research.
And then theres Chancellor
Hemenway the Universitys 16th
chancellor, who has held the office
since 1995.
The free program will be held
at 3 p.m. in the Lied Center. It
will feature video clips, speakers
and mini-performances from the
Oread Singers and the Marching
Jayhawks.
The focus of the program is
the amazing growth that occurred
at the University across the board
during his 14 years, said Mary
Burg, executive assistant to the
chancellor and the event organizer.
Burg said the program would
feature the areas the chancellor has
influenced during his tenure: aca-
demics, research, service, campus
development and traditions.
Burg wouldnt reveal too many
details about the program many
of the guest speakers and perfor-
mances will be a surprise even for
Hemenway.
Bob Dotson, a 1968 graduate
who studied journalism at the
University, will emcee the program.
He is an NBC news correspondent
whose special reports, American
Story with Bob Dotson, tell of
ordinary people doing extraordi-
nary things.
Dotson has worked with
Hemenway during his tenure, and
has returned to the University
for several speeches and journal-
ism events. Dotson said he was
impressed with Hemenways style
as a teacher and mentor, and the
way he related with others.
I think people will remember
him as a seemingly ordinary guy
who had wonderful ideas and got
them done, Dotson said. The
supposedly ordinary people are the
ones who make this country what
it is. Theyre the ones who get
things done.
More than 200 students, fac-
ulty and staff have been prepar-
ing for this program since shortly
after Hemenway announced he
was stepping down. Jack Wright,
professor of theatre and film, will
direct the program.
Hes a students chancellor,
Wright said. He has always made
himself available to students and
has become one of their favorites.
Student body president Adam
McGonigle agrees. McGonigle,
Wichita junior, and several other
former student body presidents
will offer a few remarks at the end
of the program about the mentor-
ship Hemenway has provided for
students.
Its important that the commu-
nity and the University at large
have the opportunity in one large
setting to thank the chancellor for
his work and personally celebrate
everything he accomplished,
McGonigle said.

County Superior Court in San
Rafael, Calif., according to court

This isnt the frst indication of

LOS ANGELES Disney mov-
ies and ABC TV shows will be
available on Hulu.com now that
Walt Disney Co. is taking an equity
stake in the popular video stream-
ing site, joining its founders, NBC
Universal and News Corp.
The deal announced Thursday
will bring older Disney mov-
ies to the site, along with ABC
and Disney Channel shows such
as Lost, Greys Anatomy and
Wizards of Waverly Place after
they run on TV. Disney hopes to
gain new online viewers that it
does not already capture on ABC.
com and pick up new income from
sharing ad revenue on Hulu.
The new setup also brings the
owners of three of the four major
broadcast networks ABC, NBC
and Fox into a fight for online
eyeballs against the video stream-
ing site TV.com, which CBS Corp.
acquired last year when it bought
CNet Networks Inc. for $1.8 bil-
lion. In February, Hulu pulled all its
content from TV.com.
Another rival is Google Inc.s
YouTube, which is trying to become
more than a repository for clips
uploaded by the general public. It
recently launched a Shows sec-
tion with older movies and TV
episodes from partners Sony Corp.,
Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.,
CBS Corp., Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Inc. and Liberty Media Corp.
Disney has a deal to provide
short-form ESPN and ABC content
to YouTube. But in general, ABC,
NBC and Fox now will be pitting
their premium material against
YouTube.
Its an extremely big blow to
YouTube, said Gartner Inc. research
vice president Allen Weiner.
Hulu ranks as the No. 4 online
video site in the U.S., with 41.6
million viewers of its videos in
March, according to tracking firm
comScore.
That placed it behind Google
sites, including YouTube, at
100.3 million; News Corp.s Fox
Interactive Media, which includes
MySpace, at 55.2 million; and
Yahoo sites at 42.5 million. CBS
sites ranked fifth at 35.4 million
monthly viewers.
Disneys biggest contribution to
Hulu will be its content, but the
company will also make a cash
investment similar to the amount
that General Electric Co.s NBC
Universal and News Corp.s Fox
each contributed in March 2007,
according to people knowledge-
able about the deal, who spoke on
condition of anonymity because
the terms were confidential. It is
unclear how much Disney paid,
but Disney, News Corp. and NBC
will all have similar-sized stakes at
just over 25 percent.
Disney Chief Executive Robert
Iger, Disney/ABC Television Group
President Anne Sweeney and Kevin
Mayer, a Disney senior vice presi-
dent, will join Hulus board.

T
he increasingly global-
ized world brings with it
a strong level of intercon-
nectedness and interdependence
among countries. Coffee drinkers
in the United States must be aware
of the effects of their consumption
on coffee producers in the develop-
ing world. The fair trade movement
helps farmers receive a fairer price
for their coffee bean and better
the living conditions of the greatly
impoverished coffee farming com-
munity.The University should be
applauded for its awareness and
support of the fair trade movement.
Nona Golledge, director of KU
Dining Services, said all coffee
sold through the University was
considered fair trade. Golledge said
the Universitys coffee came from
The Roasterie, a business located
in Kansas City, Mo. She said many
of the coffees it sold were fair trade
certified, and those that arent are
still considered to be fair trade
by the University and Roasteries
standards.
Golledge said the owner of
The Roasterie traveled around the
world to hand-select the beans,
always making sure the farmers
received a fair price.
They are very aware of the
farmers needs, Golledge said.
Not all of their coffees are certi-
fied fair trade, but they follow
the guidelines. They just have not
taken the steps to get them all cer-
tified yet.
Makame Muhajir, geography
doctoral student and former direc-
tor of urban planning for Tanzania,
said he thought fair trade was an
important issue in the increasingly
globalized world.
I think trade should be advan-
tageous to all the groups involved
in the process, he said. We are
trying to help the people from
extreme poverty recover from that
level. By having fair trade, you
have a balance of economic deals
with everyone involved.
Muhajir explained that fair trade
was helping impoverished coffee
farmers living in countries such
as Ethiopia, Kenya and Columbia
organize into unions to make their
voices heard.
Fair trade encourages the farm-
ers to group themselves together
with cooperatives, he said. These
cooperatives create a much stron-
ger and wider voice for negotia-
tion.
Muhajir went on to say that he
thought the University was doing
a good job with respect to fair
trade. He explained that there were
many other products that should
be examined with fair trade in
mind, such as tea, cocoa, cotton
and rubber, but commended the
University for its progressive initia-
tives with coffee.
Golledge commented on the
Universitys future with fair trade.
We feel that fair trade is impor-
tant, especially for coffee, she
said. Were always open to other
opportunities out there. We are
a business and have to do what
makes the most business sense to
us. We want to do whats right for
everything that we have to take
into consideration.
Overall, the University is mak-
ing a valid effort in supporting
and raising awareness for the fair
trade movement. By offering coffee
bought from farmers at a fair price,
the University is helping to balance
the economic relationship with the
countries we greatly rely on.

I
s your kitchen sink an orgy
of dirty dishes and mushy,
moist, black, green, puke-
smelling mildew? If you walk
through your kitchen barefoot,
do hardened crumbs tickle your
toes? If this sounds like your
residence, you probably live with
a few roommates. Your kitchen
is filth-ridden because you, as
a rational person, dont clean it.
Why should you forgo valuable
time in front of the TV to scrub
a few dishes? Your roommates
are probably thinking the same
thing, so the cladosporium colony
is free to grow into a man-eating
monster. You dont listen to your
roommates when they tell you
to clean and, likewise, they dont
listen to you. The solution to your
nauseating nightmare of a kitchen
is a well-designed Dirty Dish Tax.
Putting a price on dirty dishes
will clean up those cookie crumbs
faster than Martha Stewart. If you
and your roomies agreed that
every dirty dish, from forks to
frying pans, could be left in the
sink at a cost of, say, $1, everyone
would think twice before cultur-
ing a habitat for malodorous
mold. If you were to leave three
spoons and two bowls of corn
flakes unattended and room-
mate Rodolfo shined them up, he
could tax you a hefty $5. Under
the Dirty Dish Tax system, the
external cost of dirty dishes on
your roommates would be borne
by your wallet.
This system is much fairer
than the traditional method of
putting off the cleaning until
Marvin Moldy emerges. Lets say
cleaning the kitchen takes one
hour per week. If you have 17
hours of school, while Rodolfo
plays Mob Wars, then one hour
of cleaning the kitchen incurs a
much greater cost on you than it
does Rodolfo.
If cleaning the first pot takes
one minute and that minute is
worth more than $1, youll go
ahead and clean that pot, but if
your plate takes two minutes to
spruce up, and youll be late to
work if you dont get out the door,
youll forgo that dollar. Rodolfo
doesnt have to worry about get-
ting to work so hes happy to clean
up your leftover hashish for a
buck. So each roommate cleans to
a level that benefits himself. The
result is no more living organisms
in the kitchen sink.
In some cases, the Dirty Dish
Tax may not work. Implement-
ing a Dirty Dish Tax will be more
difficult with more dish-dirtying
dudes in the hacienda. If you
live with 10 roommates and only
three want to play the game, you
will not escape the fragrance of
moist, week-old pizza crust or
fusty old beer. And you might
also want to implement some
sort of exchange rate. If all dishes
cost $1 to clean, odds are you will
have plenty of clean spoons, but
the great tower of Pot, Kettle and
Pan will be built for all who enter
the kitchen to marvel at.
If the repulsive aroma of
putrefied peaches and moldering
mashed potatoes is not enough
incentive to turn you into Mr.
Clean, try implementing the Dirty
Dish Tax and maybe the almighty
dollar will push you and your
buds to keep the foray of fungi
at bay.

ip hop, like every other
genre of music, has its
one-hit wonders and
flavor-of-the-month artists. They
typically blow up for two or three
months, plateau, and then are
never heard from again (where
you at, Soulja Boy?).
There have been countless
groups and emcees over time that
have fit this mold and, despite
their own desperate attempts to
rekindle the initial spark, these
has-beens are never quite able to
recapture the magic. The reason
for this is always the same: They
dont have love for real hip hop.
Every artist who has experienced
success and longevity in the rap
game (a very difficult thing to
do) has love for real hip hop. And
I dont mean love for popping
bottles or slanging crack rocks, I
mean a pure love for rocking the
microphone, whether it be in a
basement or live at the Grammys.
Talib Kweli, an exceptionally
talented Brooklyn emcee who
performed Sunday night at the
Granada here in Lawrence, has
mad love for real hip hop. In fact, I
dont know of any emcee of Kwelis
caliber who has been so produc-
tive on such a consistent basis for
such a long time.
Kweli first truly showcased his
unadulterated love for hip hop
with Black Star, a collaborative
effort with fellow Brooklyn emcee
Mos Def, in 1998. The album
became an instant classic among
hip-hop heads worldwide and
garnered widespread praise for
its high quality of production and
lyricism. Shortly after this release,
Kweli recorded an album with
now-legendary producer Hi-Tek
under the group name Reflection
Eternal. The group dubbed the
album Train of Thought, and
it, too, was immediately recog-
nized as one of the most ground-
breaking hip-hop albums of its
generation.
Reflection Eternal is work-
ing on a new album scheduled to
come out this summer, and the
super-duo showed up in Lawrence
Sunday night to rock the house
and promote its release.
Fo more than an hour, Kweli
and Hi-Tek made the Granada
go absolutely insane. Even when
performing cuts from the upcom-
ing album, songs no one in
the audience knew, the crowd
remained ecstatic and incredibly
responsive to Kwelis raw lyrics
and knack for keeping up the
crowds energy. The two icons slyly
tried to deceive the crowd into
thinking they were retiring back-
stage (an act no one in the crowd
bought) only to return a minute
later to belt out some more hot
tracks. Reflection Eternal topped
this all off with the two mem-
bers switching roles, Kweli hop-
ping behind the turntables while
Hi-Tek emceed for about an hour.
Audience members who wanted
to come on stage were encouraged
to do so, and we completely sur-
rounded the two behind the tables.
I heard both artists scream
We love Lawrence! on several
occasions, and you could tell
that Kweli was genuinely hav-
ing a great time, happily mixing
hip-hop classics and watching
the break-dancing circles form
in front of him. It is this type of
interactive experience that real
emcees offer a crowd. The two
could have left after the encore,
but decided instead to give fans,
myself included, an experience
they definitely will not forget any-
time soon.
After all these years touring the
world and performing for crowds,
Talib Kweli is still passionate
about his art and still has a love
for real hip hop. Kweli is in the
process of developing three new
albums, including one with the
Reflection Eternal project, and he
is featured with artists from every
corner of the hip-hop spectrum
(check my beatdowns for some
titles). This is the reason Kweli
has been able to remain successful
for so long; he has never lost his
love for hip hop, and hip hop has
never lost its love for him. Peace.

Swine fu and a dinosaur epidemic
By Charles austin
U. Missouri
The Maneater
A
s you read this, dinosaurs
are attacking the White
House. The Associated
Press is reporting dinosaur
sightings across Virginia and
Washington, with rumors that
the creatures have spread as far as
New York. Scientists fear a mas-
sive dinosaur migration toward
Houston once they realize how
delicious fat people are.
I realize now that half of my
readers are probably already run-
ning toward Seattle in an effort to
lose weight and escape the dino-
saur menace. But if anyone is still
around, I must admit that I was a
little hasty in my opening remarks.
I saw Jurassic Park on TV and
mistook it for a live news feed for
a moment. How did they get those
dinosaurs to act, anyway?
But the truth is, Im not the
only one getting carried away in
baseless fear-mongering these
days. According to CNN, people
are spreading all sorts of misin-
formation about swine flu over
Twitter.
Finally, spreading bad informa-
tion isnt just for the government
and H.G. Wells radio broadcasts.
With the latest technology, every-
day people like you and me can
propagate bullshit to millions of
people, just like the pros do.
The moment Im writing this,
swine flu has killed a staggeringly
low number of people in the U.S.
I say this is staggering because,
according to a Nielsen Online
report, 2 percent of all Twitter
posts Monday related to the swine
flu. When one out of every 50
posts is about an illness, I would
expect it to be the plague or the
T-Virus.
Its especially ridiculous when
you consider that, according to
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, 36,000 people die
every year in the U.S. alone from
normal flu-related symptoms. But
your average run of the mill flu
isnt exciting enough for the aver-
age Joe the Plumber to get worked
up about, no matter how deadly
it may be.
I would go post on Twitter right
now about how Im still alive and
how everyone in the country is
still alive, but unfortunately, 100
percent of people who can read
are alive, meaning this news is
shocking to no one. But Im pretty

Second annual art festival adds cultural elements
BY JENNIFER TORLINE
jtorline@kansan.com
For the second year in a row,
Student Union Activities and the
Spencer Museum of Arts Student
Advisory Board are teaming up to
bring the Spring Arts and Culture
Festival to campus on Saturday.
But this year its bigger and
more culturally diverse, said
Megan Turner, Olathe senior and
student outreach coordinator.
Last year, it was just the arts
festival, she said. This year, weve
added cultural festival to the title
and opened it to different cultural
groups.
Last years art festival had 10
local and student artists selling
artwork, but this years festival will
have 28 artists.
Student organizers of the festival
added the cultural aspect to
celebrate the diversity of campus
organizations.
Amy Gairns, Leawood freshman
and SUAs cultural arts coordinator,
said four groups, including the
Peruvian Association and the
KU African Drum and Dance
Ensemble, would perform music
and dance demonstrations.
Astrid Houchin, president of
the Peruvian Association, said
four student dancers in the group
would perform traditional dances.
A Peruvian musician in the
organization will play the pan flute,
drums and other instruments.
The focus of our organization
is to promote the knowledge of
Peruvian culture, Houchin, Lima,
Peru, sophomore, said. Were
going to perform dances from the
highlands and rainforests.
Houchin is also a painting
major, and she will sell some
of her paintings at the festival.
Several other members of the
Peruvian Association will also sell
watercolor paintings and other
artwork.
The festival is free and open
to both students and families.
Other activities include tote bag
decorating, music by three local
bands, a maypole dance and the
opening of the museums annual
Childrens Art Exhibition,
which features artwork from local
children who have taken art classes
at the museum.
Artists such as Dave Loewenstein
and Jouvelt will create art live
at the festival, and the museums
exhibitions will be open as well.
The festival lasts from noon
to 4 p.m. on the museums front
lawn and street space between the
Kansas Union and the museum.
Mississippi Street will be closed to
traffic during the festival.
Were going to fill that space
up with as much art and culture
as we can, said Melissa Melling,
Leawood sophomore and the
festival committee director.
It should be a great Saturday
afternoon activity for families
and students to come together
in the Lawrence community to
celebrate our artistic achievement
and cultural background.

Spending continues downward slide as savings rate stays over 4 percent
BY JEANNINE AVERSA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Consumer
spending fell more than expected
in March after
two straight
monthly gains, a
stark reminder of
a fragile economy
that has pushed
a record number
of Americans to
draw jobless ben-
efits.
The Commerce
Department said
Thursday that
consumer spending dropped 0.2
percent in March, worse than the
0.1 percent decline economists
expected. Incomes, reflecting per-
sistent mass layoffs, dropped 0.3
percent, also worse than expected.
The personal savings rate rose
to 4.2 percent from 4 percent in
February. It stood at 4.4 percent in
January, the first time in more than
a decade the rate has been above 4
percent for three straight months.
Households have been cutting
back on spending and boosting
savings during the recession, wor-
ried that they need to replenish
depleted nest eggs as job cuts
mount and investment values
plunge.
The fact that spending turned
negative in March after two
straight gains is a worrisome sign.
Consumer spending in the first
quarter grew at a 2.2 percent annual
rate after two consecutive quarters
of declines, but some analysts said
that may be just a blip. Economists
closely watch consumer spending
because it accounts
for 70 percent of total
economic activity.
Meanwhile, the
Labor Department
said new applications
for unemployment
aid fell to a season-
ally adjusted 631,000
last week. That was
down from the prior
weeks 645,000, which
was revised slightly higher from
the governments initial estimate.
Economists had expected a small
increase in new
claims.
The four-week
moving aver-
age of initial job-
less claims, which
smooths out vola-
tility, dropped last
week to 637,250.
That was the low-
est level since late
February and a
decrease of about 20,000 from the
high in early April. Goldman Sachs
economists have said a decline of
30,000 to 40,000 in the four-week
average is needed to signal a peak.
We are seeing a mixed picture
with the data. Now we have shades
of gray, which is an improvement
from the fall and winter when it
was uniformly black said Stuart
Hoffman, chief economist at PNC
Financial Services.
Christina Romer, chair of
President Barack Obamas Council
of Economic Advisers, predicted
another economic contraction in
the second quarter and delivered a
downbeat assessment about unem-
ployment. But she said the pace of
the decline will moderate sharply
over the next several months.
Whether the recovery begins
later this year, as most private fore-
casters predict, or takes a bit longer
is hard to know, she told Congress
Joint Economic Committee. The
recovery will almost surely take a
long time.
Still, the number of
people continuing to
draw unemployment
benefits jumped to
more than 6.27 mil-
lion, the highest on
record dating back
to 1967. That was
steeper than econo-
mists expected and a
13th straight record-
high.
New jobless filers as opposed
to those who remain on the unem-
ployment compensation rolls
also are closely tracked by econo-
mists for clues about the future
direction of the economy. Analysts
want to see a sustained decline
in new applications as a sign of
improved conditions.
Although last weeks drop in
new claims was welcome, the level
remains elevated and signals a
troubled jobs market. The labor
market usually doesnt recover
until well after a recession has
ended. Thats because companies
wont want to ramp up hiring until
they feel certain any recovery has
staying power
Hoffman called the drop in ini-
tial filings mildly encouraging
and said he expects some of the big
increases logged to taper off as the
year progresses.
Still, the record number of con-
tinued claims suggests that many
laid-off workers are having trouble
finding new jobs.
As a proportion of the work
force, the total jobless benefit rolls
are the highest since late December
1982.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones
industrial average traded flat
Thursday afternoon after President
Barack Obama confirmed that
Chrysler LLC was filing for bank-
ruptcy protection. The Dow had
been up more than 100 points
earlier in the day.
The economy is still expected
to shrink from April to June, but
not nearly as much as it has been.
In the first quarter of this year, the
economy tumbled at an annualized
6.1 percent drop. That followed a
6.3 percent annualized decline in
the final quarter of last year.

I
f you feel left out of this col-
umn, I apologize ahead of
time but I want to take
some time and recognize my
senior class. This is the last col-
umn I will be writing as a student
at Kansas, so color me a little
sentimental. The senior athletes
always get their special recogni-
tion days during their seasons, so I
want to borrow that idea and rec-
ognize the senior fans, and what
theyve been able to witness the
past four years at the University.
Lets talk about their contri-
butions first. Allen Fieldhouse
has always been a big draw, but
Memorial Stadium has grown
on KU fans over the past four
years and the senior fans have
helped with that. Theyve kept the
atmosphere at Allen Fieldhouse
electric, which has helped the
Jayhawks keep up the nations lon-
gest current home winning streak.
The seniors have also been part
of the record sell-out crowds at
Memorial Stadium over the past
couple years.
The seniors have seen banner
years from many sports in their
time here at Kansas. Most nota-
bly, the football team progressed
extremely well over the last four
years. The senior class saw three
bowl games including a victory
in the Orange Bowl in four
years, something no other class
has ever done. They also saw the
first national championship in
basketball in twenty years. Heck,
they almost saw the basketball
team win the Big 12 Tournament
every year they were here.
I dont want to forget the other
sports though. Baseball and soft-
ball both won Big 12 champion-
ships in the past four years. The
volleyball team made it into the
NCAA Tournament. The soc-
cer team made it into the NCAA
Tournament and got a victory in
the first round. The rest of KU
athletics have had their ups and
downs.
The senior class has seen some
great athletes pass through Kansas
as well. Current member of the
PGA, Gary Woodland, spent time
on campus with these seniors.
These seniors have seen some of
the best softball players in Kansas
history as well, including Serena
Settlemier and Kassie Humphreys.
They saw some talented football
players, such as Charles Gordon
and Aqib Talib, rebuild this
Kansas program. And lets not
forget the NBA talent that helped
lead Kansas to its national cham-
pionship: Darnell Jackson, Mario
Chalmers, Brandon Rush and
Darrell Arthur, as well as Julian
Wright.
Personally, Ive been extremely
lucky to witness some of Kansas
sporting greatness firsthand. I
went to all three bowl games and
followed the Jayhawks twice on
their road through the NCAA
tournament (unfortunately not on
their championship run though).
This senior class has been lucky to
witness some great Kansas teams
over the past four years. I wont
forget the past four years, and the
rest of the senior class can take
these sports memories with them
and look back on them fondly as a
part of their time here at Kansas.

Down the stretch they come,
a neck-and-neck finish in sight.
Back and forth they go.
But it accurately describes
the horse race that is the Big
12 standings. Entering the final
month of conference play, Kansas
(31-15, 10-8) sits at fifth place,
only three victories behind leader
Texas A&M.
Its why the seasons end, and
more importantly this weekends
matchup against second place
Oklahoma (33-12, 11-7), is more
crucial than ever before. With
nine Big 12 games remaining,
Kansas has an opportunity to earn
the most Big 12 victories in coach
Ritch Prices tenure.
The previous best was in 2006,
when the Jayhawks total was at 13.
That was also the season Kansas
won the Big 12 championship.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks,
seven of their nine remaining
Big 12 series will be away from
Lawrence.
One thing we have not done
lately is we have not played well
on the road, Price said. Our
record on the road has not been
good; our starting pitching has
not been good on the road.
Kansas has only a 5-10 record
on the road. In fact, only freshman
starter Lee Ridenhour has picked
up a victory on the road against
Big 12 competition. It was the
only victory for starting pitchers
on the road.
Price suggests that now that
junior right-hander Shaeffer Hall
and sophomore right-hander
T.J. Walz have experienced road
games, their performance, along
with Ridenhours, will improve.
Walz and Hall and Ridenhour
have now had the opportunity to
go to Texas A&M, to go to Texas
Tech, Price said. Hopefully were
going to continue to build off
those experiences and well get
better production these last three
weekends.
Sophomore third baseman
Tony Thompson has been equally,
if not more reliable this season.
However, Thompson has found
himself in something hes rarely
been in all season: a slump.
Thompson has batted .143 over
his last games (3-for-21) and
hasnt had an RBI since Baker
back on April 21.
Thompson isnt worried or
pressing however. His batting
average is still .356, and a slump is
expected during a long season.
I just need to make better
pitch selection and hopefully itll
get better in the next couple of
games, Thompson said. I think I
can get through it as long as I keep
doing what Im doing.
Price took the same approach
as Thompson did regarding his
mini-slump. In 17 games before
his slump, Thompson had at least
one hit in 16 of them. Price said
he expects Thompson to pick that
rate back up sooner rather then
later.
I think hes been a little too
aggressive in the last week where
hes swinging at a lot of first pitch
outs, Price said. I think he needs
to go back and be more patient
and let the game come to him.
Hopefully he can get hot again.

won five of its last six games,

Kansas softball coach Tracy
Bunge said goodbye to Arrocha
Ballpark on Thursday, as the team
played its final home game of the
season.
The Jayhawks sent their coach
out on a high note, defeating Texas
A&M 4-1 in the rain-shortened
series. Thunderstorms reduced
what was originally scheduled as
a doubleheader to a single contest.
With the victory, Kansas ended
its 14-game losing streak to the
Aggies, which dated back to 2002.
First and foremost, this win was
great for the kids, Bunge said. Its
been a struggle this year, but weve
come a long way to play this well
down the stretch.
The season has had its ups and
downs for Kansas, 21-28 overall
and 6-9 in the Big 12. But the team
has played some of its best ball
lately, having won four of its past
five games.
The Jayhawks picked up where
they left off in Wichita, jumping
out to an early lead. Sophomore
shortstop Kolby Fesmire kicked off
the scoring in the third inning
when she smacked a solo home run
to deep center field. The blast was
the first of her Jayhawk career.
I was joking with Allie Clark
before the game, having her rub
my bat trying to get some of her
power into it, Fesmire said, ref-
erencing Clarks team-leading 10
home runs.
The round-tripper seemed to
spark the Jayhawks, who quickly
loaded the bases for junior first
baseman Amanda Jobe. Jobe
promptly lined a sharp single to

cOMMENTARY
I
told myself I would never write
this.
I had no plans to go out on a
sappy, sentimental senior column.
Not my thing. Too bad I lied to
myself.
Because the truth is, when I real-
ized I only had a couple weeks
left studying at the University of
Kansas and living in Lawrence, I
got reflective. I started thinking
about everything Ill miss.
Im going to miss racquetball
at the recreation center. Im going
to miss the chicken finger basket
at Yacht Club. Im going to miss
shows at the Bottleneck.
But you know what Im going to
miss the most? What youre read-
ing right now. The University Daily
Kansan. To say anything else at the
University had near the impact on
me that the Kansan did would be a
straight lie.
My run with The Kansan started
four years ago. I moseyed around
the basketball courts at the recre-
ation center with a notepad and
pen back then, looking for intra-
mural games to write stories about.
Had no idea what I was doing.
Didnt matter.
I remember covering a semifinal
intramural game and the celebra-
tion that ensued for the victors.
Something clicked.
I love this, I thought. I could
do this for the rest of my life.
Its still to be determined if Ill
write about sports for the rest of
my life. Who knows? But either
way, The Kansan has provided me
with enough memories of doing
what I love to last me for the rest
of my life.
Ill remember being in the press
box to watch Justin Gatlin fly in the
Kansas Relays and how he tested
positive for a banned substance
after the race.
Ill remember womens basket-
ball games three years ago when
Shaquina Mosleys buzzer-beater at
Texas would be shown on the Allen
Fieldhouse big screen five times
per game because it was the only
good thing that happened all year.
Ill remember Aqib Talibs 100+
yard interception return that even
coach Mark Mangino had to admit
was special after a worthless non-
conference football game.
Ill remember being along for
every step of the ride of the most
improbable season in recent col-
lege football memory the 2007
Kansas Jayhawks and seeing
how it culminated in Miami.
Ill remember dodging Kansas
State fans as they rushed the
Bramlage Coliseum floor after
the Wildcats ended the Jayhawks
24-game winning streak in
Manhattan and all the hate mail
they sent me the next day for my
column.
Ill remember being sports editor
and helping put together the most
famous Kansan ever April 8,
2008, after Kansas won the national
championship.
Ill remember something spe-
cific from each of the more than 50
basketball games I covered at Allen
Fieldhouse.
Ill remember shaking hands
with Gale Sayers. Ill remember
meeting Charles Barkley.
Im going to miss my spot on
press row in Allen Fieldhouse. Im
going to miss my slot on Fridays
in the Morning Brew. Im going
to miss seeing my name in The
Kansan.

Buck drives Royals to victory over Jays
By DOUG TUCker
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. John
Buck has a term for the type of
triples he was knocking around
Kauffman Stadium on Thursday.
Well-placed, the 230-pound
catcher said with a big grin.
Buck tripled twice and drove
in five runs, and the Kansas City
Royals turned six double plays in
an 8-6 victory over the Toronto
Blue Jays.
The Royals took three of four
from the Blue Jays, who hit town
on Monday leading the AL East
with the best record in the majors.
Toronto, for the first time in team
history, had started the year by
winning six consecutive series of
at least three games.
Offensively, it feels good to
pick up the pitching staff for a
change, said Kansas Citys Billy
Butler, who had six hits and five
RBIs in the last two games of the
series. We feel good out there.
The Royals tied their club
record by turning six double
plays. The Blue Jays tied a team
mark with the six double plays
and set a club record for a nine-
inning game.
The Royals hadnt turned
six double plays since 1972 but
grounded into six themselves just
last week in Cleveland.
Thats a lot of double plays,
Toronto center fielder Vernon
Wells said. It was frustrating.
Buck hit a two-run triple off
Brian Burres (0-2) in the second
inning, a sacrifice fly in the third
and another two-run triple off
Bryan Bullington in the fifth. He
also doubled in the eighth.
I wasnt even thinking triple,
he said of his final at-bat. I was
just hoping Id get to second and
he didnt throw me out.
Buck became the second Royals
catcher to collect two triples in a
game and tied a career high with
five RBIs. He entered with three
career triples, never more than
one in a single season.
Kyle Davies (2-1) allowed
three runs and seven hits in 5
2-3 innings for the Royals, who
improved to 12-10 for their first
winning April since 2003.
AssociAted press

ONeal said the provost con-

Is the University hoping to
avoid some budget cuts? ONeal
said that subject never came up.
University spokesman Jack
Martin said with the difcult
decisions facing legislators, the
trophy seemed a good way to
lighten things up.

The regatta begins at 10
a.m. with the singing of the
National Anthem and the frst
race begins at 10:15 a.m. Since
Oklahoma added rowing as
a varsity sport, bringing the
conference total to four, the
Big 12 now lends its name to
the seasons fnal event. Kansas,
Oklahoma, Kansas State and
Texas will compete for the Big
12 Championship trophy.
Were really excited as the
host team for the frst Big 12
Championship for rowing,
coach Rob Catloth said in a
statement. For us, Kansas State
and Texas we feel like its a long
time coming.

however, is the production
from the bottom of the lineup.
Price has harped on his bottom
order needing to contribute, and
freshman first baseman Zac Elgie,
senior first baseman Preston Land,
and sophomore outfielder Casey
Lytle have all done their part.
The reason were swinging the
bat better is we have our team
batting average up over .300, Price
said. Its a byproduct, I think,
of the experience the young guys
have gotten. Now theyre not
playing like freshmen.
Sophomore outfielder Brian
Heere has seen the young players
like himself grow throughout the
season. He said the maturation of
this seasons team has led to the
success. The problem is theyre
going to have to sustain it to finish
well this season.
Being on the road, you can
easily get down on yourself," Heere
said. "Its going to take maturity
to keep your head up if youre
struggling or just to grind through
it. Hopefully well peak at the right
point.

Andrew Doyle is the ace of the
Oklahoma staf
and is com-
ing of eight
strong innings
against Baylor,
allowing two
runs and
helping the
No. 9 Sooners
sweep a team
Kansas went
1-2 against. Closer Ryan Duke is
as solid as they come in the Big
12, with 10 saves and an ERA of
2.96. Hell lock up any game the
Sooners lead after eight.

Another road test for the

Jayhawk pitching staf. Oklahoma
is a tough environment, and with
windy condi-
tions almost
inevitable, the
starters will
have to keep
the ball down
to avoid the
score from
getting away
from them.
Sophomore right-hander T.J. Walz
has had no problem with letting
balls leave the yard, let alone op-
poenents making contact. Walz
has set and tied his career high
in strikeouts during his last two
outings with 10.

Senior frst baseman J.T.

Wise is a beast in the middle of
the lineup for the conferences
highest-scor-
ing ofense.
Wise leads the
Sooners with
15 home runs
and his .381 av-
erage is good
for second
on the team.
While Kansas
is lacking for
double-digit homer power past
Tony Thompson, Wise has two
teammates with more than 10.

Two weekends ago the Soon-

ers were swept in Austin by
the Texas Longhorns, who the
Jayhawks memorably swept
to open conference play. Last
weekend they went on the road
again and knocked of Baylor in
three straight before falling in
their midweek contest to No. 9
Arkansas in extras. The Sooners
are 19-3 at home and it will take
a big efort from the Jayhawks to
take this series.

Last season, Oklahoma and

three-game
sweep of Okla-
homa. Thats
an average of
23 runs scored
for each game.
With the way
the ofense has
been going, the Jayhawks could
be in for some trouble if they get
caught up in a scoring barrage.
Senior catcher Buck Afenir has
been in this situation a couple of
times throughout his career, and
might have to carry the Jayhawks
on his shoulders.

Kansas salvaged its season

with the double header against
Nebraska. But Nebraska isnt
Oklahoma, and Kansas will be
away from the friendly confnes
of Hogland Ballpark, where its
record is 21-3. The Jayhawks have
been tested in hostile situations
before at Texas A&M, so there is
some experience. Coach Ritch
Price seems to be able to know
how to get his teams to rise to
the occasion, so regardless of the
outcome, expect three very close
and competitive games.

right field, plating two more runs
to extend the Jayhawk lead to
3-0.
Pitcher Rhiannon Kliesing
provided her own run support,
getting A&M on the scoreboard
with her solo home run in the
fourth inning. But from then on
Valerie George and her rise ball
were too much for the Aggies to
handle.
After throwing six scoreless
innings against Wichita State on
Tuesday, the senior hurler struck
out four and allowed only two
hits to A&M batters on Thursday.
George worked her 16th com-
plete game of the year en route to
her 10th victory.
Bunge wasnt the only one
bidding farewell to Arrocha,
as George and her four fellow
seniors played their final home
game as well.
I came into the game not
thinking about it being my last
at home, George said. I just
wanted to come out and have
a strong performance, especially
for myself and the other seniors.
The victory over Texas A&M,
29-19 overall and 6-9 in the
Big 12, was important for the
Jayhawks, as it bumped them
into a tie for sixth place in the
Big 12. They also hold the tie-
breaker over the Aggies. With a
sweep this weekend against Iowa
State, Kansas could be in even
better shape for post-season
consideration.
Weve had some ugly losses
there the past couple of years,
George said. But its their senior
weekend, so we want to go down
there and rain on their parade.
Bunge was also focused on
matching the energy of the
Cyclones.
Its going to be a dogfight,
Bunge said. We need to match
their intensity on senior day.
Todays win only matters if we
take care of business this week-
end.
Business aside, Bunge was full
of emotion after the game as she
reminisced about her 13 seasons
at the helm of Kansas softball.
Ive got a lot of great emotions
and great memories from this
place, she said. It feels good to
go out with a win.

PGA
Quail Hollow has
less grass, big stars
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. A
banks name in the tournament
title isnt the only thing missing
at Quail Hollow.
That thick rough lining the
fairways is gone, too.
Theres definitely a different
setup, said Jim Furyk, a past
winner of what is now the Quail
Hollow Championship. Weve
come here a lot of times where
the rough has been very deep,
thick. Its been a huge premium
on accuracy. And the rough is
very low this year, as low as Ive
ever seen it, and probably as low
as Ive seen it in almost any tour
event Ive ever played, outside of
Harbourtown.
Obviously, its a different
style.
Quail Hollow previously
known as the Wachovia
Championship, with no mention
of Wells Fargo established
itself as one of the premier
courses on the PGA Tour when
it made its debut in 2003. Players
love coming to this tournament,
which shows in a field that has
attracted Tiger Woods, Phil
Mickelson, Geoff Ogilvy, Sergio
Garcia, defending champion
Anthony Kim and a host of other
stars.
This is one of those
tournaments that probably has
a little bit more of a green light
to kind of mess around with the
setup and see whats best and
whats not, because the players
like the course so much, Furyk
said.
Besides, tour players never
agree on everything.
Those who hit it straight off
the tee tend to prefer thick rough
that will punish those who are
more wild. The power players
would rather see shorter roughs
to allow them to escape from
errant tee shots.
Phil Mickelson will be
playing for the first time since
the Masters, against Masters
champion Angel Cabrera and
runner-up Chad Campbell. The
other Masters runner-up, Kenny
Perry, is missing because hes
serving as grand marshal at a
Kentucky Derby parade in his
native state.
There was a buzz on
Wednesday, rare for a pro-am
round. Then again, how often do
fans get to see the No. 1 player in
golf and a three-time MVP from
the NFL in the same group. That
would be Woods and Peyton
Manning, playing a pro-am
together for the first time since
Bay Hill four years ago.
Ran the wrong route,
Manning said to himself after
yet another errant shot into the
gallery.
Woods took a few days after
the Masters to reflect on what he
did wrong, and he said it took
a reminder from those around
him that even without a green
jacket, life isnt awful. In four
tournaments since returning
from knee surgery, he has a
victory and two top 10s.
Woods won in 2007 under
thicker conditions, and he didnt
say which way he preferred that
it play. Not that it matters. The
lowest score still wins, and Quail
Hollow has produced some big
winners David Toms, Vijay
Singh, Furyk, Woods and Kim.
The greens are quick, which
remind him of Augusta. As for
the lack of rough?
Ive never seen it this short,
he said.

Bob Baffert looks to win his fourth Kentucky derby
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Bob Baffert
had so much success in his early
years at the Kentucky Derby he
thought it would go on forever.
Three wins in six years will do that.
Then karma caught up and sent
him into a humbling slide.
Hes hoping to change his
luck Saturday, when he saddles
Pioneerof the Nile, the early co-
second choice in the morning line.
The colt is Bafferts first serious
contender since he won his third
Derby in 2002.
He has the fight in him, he
said.
For the first time in a while, so
does Baffert.
Baffert hit rock bottom in 2001
after Point Given, sent off as the
9-5 favorite, was second turning
for home and wound up fifth. His
other horse, Congaree, led with
a quarter-mile to go only to get
beaten by four lengths.
Louisville feels like home to the
Southern California-based trainer.
He met Jill, his second wife, at
Churchill Downs and now their
4-year-old son, Bode, returns with
them.
Bafferts drive sustained him
when the lean times hit. Three of
his richest clients died, cutting off
his flow of good horses and money
to spend at the sales.
He is back at the Derby this year
with his first starter since 2006,
when he ran three horses and none
finished better than ninth.
If Pioneer of the Nile wins
Saturday, Baffert would tie fel-
low Hall of Famer Lukas and H.J.
Dick Thompson for second-most
Derby victories at four.
If he wins, Baffert said his
thoughts would be of everyone
who helped him get there, includ-
ing his aging parents watching on
television back in Nogales, Ariz.
Ive won all these major races,
but the Derby is totally different
because its so emotional, he said.
Its almost like a report card of
life, that maybe you did something
good.
He desperately wants to make
the grade again.

Associated Press
With a gold medalist in one of
its top events busted for doping at
the Beijing Games, the troubled
sport of track and field is once
again at the center of an Olympic
drug scandal.
Bahrains Rashid Ramzi, the
1500-meter champion and his
countrys first gold medalist in
track, was among three track ath-
letes and a half-dozen Olympians
in all snagged in the latest game
of cat-and-mouse between cheaters
and those who try to nail them.
The twist in the nabbing of
Ramzi and the rest was their drug
of choice. Its called CERA, a new
form of EPO, which increases
endurance by stimulating produc-
tion of red blood cells.
Olympic drug testers recent-
ly came up with a way to detect
CERA. They called for retesting of
948 samples taken from the Beijing
Olympics; many of those retests
were looking for CERA.
Six came back positive. One
was from weightlifting, two from
cycling including a silver medal-
ist and three from track.
Of the four medals that have
already been stripped for doping
violations from Beijing, three were
from track and field. Ramzis would
make it four. Granted, there are
more athletes and more tests in
track than other sports. Still, this
is hardly the news that the sport
hopes to generate after decades of
continually trying to reinvent itself
as clean.
Honestly, track and field didnt
need another blow like this, said
Dee Dee Trotter, a 2004 American
gold medalist who runs the anti-
doping Web site Test Me Im Clean.
Our reputation is truly depleting
and it doesnt help when fans who
have long loved the sport begin to
doubt what they see.
Though the 1,500-meter
race isnt immensely popular in
America, in international circles,
it is considered right up there with
the 100 meters as the most popular
race. Its the metric mile, a distance
the common man runs for recre-
ation and a long-standing test of
both speed and endurance at the
elite level.
The fact that Bahrain got its
first Olympic track gold in the
event made it that much more spe-
cial. Calls to Ramzi and his coach
seeking comment were unan-
swered. Accused womens weight-
lifter Yudelquis Contreras of the
Dominican Republic issued a strong
denial, telling The Associated Press:
I know I am clean.
If Ramzis positive test is upheld
through the appeals process, the
medal will go to Asbel Kipruto
Kiprop of Kenya, one of Africas
more traditional running power-
houses.
But thats one of the worst
things about it, is that theyll send
it to him in the mail, Trotter said.
You want your time to shine. You
cant get that back. You never take
that victory lap, never enjoy that
moment the way it was designed
for the winner to enjoy it.
Track and field medals have
been stripped and redistributed for
decades, though the scandals of
the last decade have taken on more
sinister elements of multilayered
doping programs and attempts to
cover them up.

mlb
Twins catcher to play at Kansas City
By JON KRAWCZyNSKI
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS The
Minnesota Twins have been
treading water through the first
month of the season, doing
everything they can to keep pace
with their AL Central rivals while
Joe Mauer
recovered from
a mysterious
back injury.
Despite a
tough early
schedule and
m e d i o c r e
perf ormances
by top starters
Scott Baker and
Francisco Liriano, the Twins got
through the month at 11-11 and
just a half-game out of first place.
Now Mauer is finally ready to
go. He is expected to play Friday
night against Kansas City at the
Metrodome, and the Twins hope
the return of their All-Star catcher
and reigning AL batting champion
will be just the boost they need to
get on a roll.
Obviously that guy in the
lineup is going to make a huge
difference, starter Nick Blackburn
said. Im excited to see him out
there and I think were all looking
forward to it.
Its been a difficult five months
for the pride of St. Paul. He had
surgery in December to repair a
painful blockage in his kidney,
then developed back problems that
caused him to miss all of spring
training. The injury went through
several diagnoses before team
doctors settled on inflammation
in the sacroiliac joint,
which connects the
spine to the pelvis.
Mauer started the
season on the disabled
list, but has shown
steady improvement
while rehabbing in
Florida. In five games
with Class A Fort
Myers, Mauer hit .400
in 15 at-bats with two doubles,
two walks and four RBIs.
Manager Ron Gardenhire
said he will insert Mauer in his
customary third spot in the batting
order, which will allow slugger
Justin Morneau to slide into his
more natural cleanup role.
Hes a great player, Gardenhire
said. When you have that guy
calling a game and controlling a
running game, and the way he
swings the bat in the middle of
your lineup, hes a good player.
Mauer has won two of the
American Leagues last three
batting titles, but the Twins may
miss him even more on defense.
Veteran backup Mike Redmond
has been hampered by a groin
injury and a sore shoulder, so the
team has been using youngster
Jose Morales, who has a good bat
but has struggled defensively.
Twins catchers have thrown out
only one base runner attempting
to steal this season.
Mauer, the former
Florida State
quarterback recruit,
threw out 36 percent
of base stealers last
season.
He stops
everything. He
eliminates that,
Gardenhire said. If
the pitchers give him a chance,
he will throw them out. So theres
a lot of things he brings. Its not
just one area. Thats why hes an
All-Star.
Mauer played his last rehab
game on Tuesday and traveled up
to the Twin Cities to meet with
doctors on Wednesday. The Twins
were off Thursday, giving him a
day to rest up and prepare to take
over when the Twins open a series
against the Royals on Friday.
Rays manager Joe Maddon said
Mauers return will change the
complexion of the Twins.
One man can really impact
an entire organization, not
having him there, Maddon said.
Were talking about offensively,
defensively, just his presence.
But the Twins are cautioning
fans not to view Mauer as a savior.
At least not right away.
You just kind of plug Joe in
there and not try to put too much
pressure on him,
Morneau said. He
hasnt had too many
at-bats to get ready
for the season. We
let him get in, get
settled. Hopefully
well pick him up
for a while and
then hell do what
he can do.
Even without Mauer, the Twins
are starting to show signs of
improvement. After a disastrous
trip to Boston they were
outscored 17-4 in a doubleheader
sweep the Twins took two of
three from Cleveland and Tampa
Bay to move to .500.
Gardenhire plans to take it easy
with Mauer initially, fearing too
much work too soon could cause
the back injury to flare up again.
As far as back injuries go, I
think everyone in the world knows
that those arent fun and they can
come back up, Gardenhire said.
Well just have to play it by ear.

Jayhawks return to Arkansas, look to qualify for regionals
By Jason Baker
jbaker@kansan.com
Today the Kansas track and
field team will head back to
the University of Arkansas in
Fayetteville, Ark., for competition,
a school that hurdler Keyen Porter
almost attended. When the Blue
Springs, Mo., freshman was look-
ing at schools, he went down to
Fayetteville for an official visit
and the decision came down to
Arkansas and Kansas.
Arkansas didnt have a good
hurdles coach that Kansas does,
Porter said. Im excited to go back
there, it looks like it will be fun to
run out there.
Today the Jayhawks com-
pete in the Arkansas Twilight in
Fayetteville. Its the Jayhawks last
regular season meet before com-
peting at the Big 12 Conference
Outdoor Championships.
Its our last opportunity before
the Big 12s to prepare ourselves
for the Big 12s and were look-
ing forward to going there, coach
Stanley Redwine said.
Todays meet is the second time
this season that the team has com-
peted at Arkansas, a place the
team has become familiar with.
Its up there with some of
the best facilities in track and
field, junior pole-vaulter Ryan
Hays said. Hays said the Arkansas
Twilight was different from other
meets because of its schedule of
events.
Its fun because its a little bit
later and youre not under the
hot sun like we usually are, Hays
said.
For freshman Rebeka Stowe,
who will compete in the stee-
plechase today, getting a victory
could lead to two things: region-
ally qualifying for the Midwest
Regionals and possibly qualifying
for the US Juniors Championships.
Collegiate athletes have the oppor-
tunity of competing at the Juniors
Championships if they are 19 or
younger.
For Stowe, taking on the chal-
lenge of the Steeplechase has been
enjoyable.
Its been different, Stowe said.
Ive enjoyed the challenges of the
hurdles and it just adds another
aspect to running, and thats good
for me.
Like Stowe, senior Patrick
McGowan will also compete in
the steeplechase. But McGowan, a
Springdale, Ark., native, is consid-
ering today a home meet because
its only 15 minutes from where he
lived during high school.
I have a lot of family and friends
coming to watch, McGowan said.
This weekend is my moms birth-
day; hopefully I run well and give
her an early birthday present.
McGowan last competed in the
steeplechase at the Kansas Relays,
where he came in second, but
said the race was positive and was
ready to go out and run a good
time at the next meet.
For Kansas relay teams, the
Arkansas Twilight is a chance to
regionally qualify after coming up
short at other meets.
Weve only been a tenth of a
second off, sophomore Kendra
Bradley said about their 4X400
relay performance. Weve changed
our relay up and everyones feeling
better so I think we can go out and
get it this weekend.
This weekend will feature the
debut of the mens 4X100 relay
team, which will be made up of
junior Reggie Carter, sophomore
Alex Carey, freshmen Keyen
Porter and freshman Keith Hayes.
The Jayhawks currently have
11 athletes who have regionally
qualified in 13 events. Redwine
said he was eager for the oppor-
tunity to double that number at
todays meet.
It would be nice to triple that
number, Redwine said with a
smile.

NewYork Yankees Alex Rodriguez fies out during an extended spring training game, at the
Yankees minor league complex inTampa, Fla., onThursday. Rodriguez is rehabilitating after hip
surgery.
By ronaLD BLUM
Associated Press
NEW YORK A new,
unflattering biography of Alex
Rodriguez reportedly says he
may have used steroids as early as
high school and as late as with the
New York Yankees, charges the
star wouldnt address Thursday
as he readied for a
return to the major
leagues.
R o d r i g u e z
admi tted i n
February to using
steroids while
with the Texas
Rangers from 2001-03, but
insisted he stopped before he
was traded to the Yankees in
February 2004. He brushed off a
question Thursday about details
from Sports Illustrated writer
Selena Roberts upcoming book
A-Rod that cast doubt on his
earlier statements.
Im not going there, he said
after homering in an extended
spring training intrasquad game
in Tampa, Fla. Rodriguez has
been rehabbing from hip surgery
in March and hasnt played for
the Yankees this season.
Im just so excited about
being back on the field and
playing baseball. My team has
won two games (in a row) up
there and hopefully I can come
back and help them win some
more, he said.
The Daily News reported in
Thursdays edition that Roberts
book offers an portrait of the
three-time AL MVP as a needy
personality who wanted his ego
stroked constantly and a player
who tipped
opponents to
pitches in blowout
games, hoping
the favor would
get returned
someday.
The paper
didnt say how it obtained a
copy of the Harper Collins book,
scheduled for release Monday.
A high school teammate of
A-Rods told Roberts that the
future No. 1 draft pick was on
steroids as a prep player and his
coach knew it an allegation the
coach, Rich Hofman, denied.
Rodriguez said he wasnt
worried that the steroids issue
was being brought up again.
No. Not really, he said. Im
in a good place. I think more
importantly physically I feel like
Im getting better everyday. Weve
had a great week here. Weve
worked extremely hard, and Im
just very anxious to do what God
put me on this earth to do, to
play baseball.
In the book, an unidentified
major leaguer is quoted as saying
A-Rod and former Yankees
pitcher Kevin Brown, who was
named in the Mitchell Report
on performance-enhancing
drug use, were seen together
with human growth hormones
in 2004.
The book also goes on to say
that two anonymous Yankees
said they believed A-Rod was
using banned substances based
on visual side effects, and that a
clubhouse staffer said
management had a
suspicion that that the
third baseman may
have been juicing.
Rodriguez went 1
for 6 with two walks as
a designated hitter in
Thursdays extended
spring game. He had
a long homer to left-
center in his sixth
plate appearance.
He was slated to play in
another extended spring game
Friday against Pirates minor
leaguers at Pittsburghs complex
in Bradenton.
Rodriguez said he needs to run
the bases at full speed and is
still on target to return to the
Yankees in May. Yankees manager
Joe Girardi said he expects A-Rod
will play third base on either
Saturday or Monday.
I think the last thing Im
going to do here before I leave is
sliding, Rodriguez said. I think
sliding is probably the thing I
have the most reservation about
because you have to get on your
hip and bounce on it a little bit.
Everything else seems so far on
schedule.
Rodriguez could be on track
to rejoin the Yankees when they
are in Baltimore from May 8-10.
Girardi isnt dwelling on the
steroids issue in Rodriguezs past
and recommends A-Rod deal
with it the same way.
To me it seems like a lot
of He said, she said kind of
stuff, Girardi said. Weve been
down this road. Were going to
move on, and
Alex has talked
about how hes
going to move
on. And to me
the focus about
Alex Rodriguez
is he had eight
at-bats today.
Yankees first
baseman Mark
Tei xei ra, a
teammate of Rodriguezs with
Texas in 2003, said he had
never heard the pitch-tipping
allegation. Los Angeles Angels
manager Mike Scioscia said he
had never been aware of a player
letting opponents know what
pitches were coming.
Thats insane. Thats not
what were not out on the field
