Club makes waves at Clinton Lake
Students sort through Wescoe waste for recyclable items
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
Karin Scott, a senior fromDallas, carries bags of trash that will be sorted and recycled accordingly
as part of Earth Day. Trash sorted in previous years have revealed that 65-85 percent of the trash
thrown away at Wescoe could be recycled.
BY BRENNA LONG
blong@kansan.com
Rain dampened Thursdays
scheduled waste audit, but it didnt
wash the sorters away.
A group of five seniors in the
environmental studies capstone
course found shelter from the rain
under the east side of Wescoe Hall
and continued digging through
the trash collected from the build-
ing, looking at what could have
been recycled.
Of the 11 bins used to sort the
waste, only two were full of actual
trash. The rest could be recycled
in some way, said Karin Scott,
from Dallas.
Whats gross about this is
how much of it could have been
recycled, said Lydia Gibson, from
Prairie Village.
With 20 bags of trash and 11 blue
barrels, Gibson, Scott, Kathryn
Boyd, from Wichita; Lauren Keith,
from Wichita; Ryan Rastok, from
Lawrence, spent three hours sort-
ing through all the trash collected
from Wescoe in one day.
Students were encouraged to
grab a pair of gloves and see what
was in their own trash.
Caleb Hall, a sophomore from
Shawnee, walked by and decided
to help out.
Its a good cause, Hall said.
I think if we used less in the
first place, the effects would be
drastic.
Zsolt Mohi, a doctoral student
from Budapest, Hungary, asked
Gibson questions about recycling
and the students goal.
I am glad to see something
being done, Mohi said. A change
of habits is not an easy thing.
Rastok walked around the
fourth floor of Wescoe and real-
ized students had more chances
to recycle than throw items in a
trash can.
It would be so easy to throw
it in a bin right next to the trash,
Rastok said.
To show the waste, the seniors
built a clear box so people could
visually see what makes up the

Lawrences luau organized to rival Manhattans Fake Pattys Day
BY ALISON CUMBOW
alisonc@kansan.com
Tose looking to get leid Satur-
day, rain or shine, can start early
the frst Larryville Luau starts
at 9 a.m.
Te luau was started because its
creators, three KU students, didnt
have a good time at Fake Pattys
Day in Manhattan. Tey decided
Lawrence would be a better town
for a similar all-day afair.
Fake Pattys Day is held every
year a week before the actual
St. Patricks Day in Aggieville,
Manhattans bar district.
Participating bars open early
in the morning and ofer drink
specials and giveaways.
As of Tursday, the Facebook
event for the Larryville Luau had
nearly 9,000 confrmed attendees
and more than 10,000 who
said they might attend.he luaus
headquarters is the Barrel House,
729 New Hampshire St., but seven
other bars will also open early to
host the event none of which
will charge a cover.
Other deals include Bud Light
specials and prize giveaways.
Bryan Spencer, a junior from
Overland Park, is in charge of the
festivities sponsors and partner-
ships with bars and restaurants in
Lawrence.
Planning for the luau started
afer Spencer and two of his
friends decided Lawrence needed
a party to rival Fake St. Pattys Day
in Manhattan.
Since planning for the event
started about two months ago,
Spencer has collaborated with
diferent sponsors to make and
pay for T-shirts as well as getting
bars to open early. Some bars are
opening seven hours early.
Gavin Smith, owner of Fatsos,
1016 Massachusetts St., said
his bar would have extra staf
starting at 9 a.m. He said Spencer
contacted him via Facebook and
decided to collaborate when
he saw how many people had
confrmed to attend the event.
Spencer said a successful day
for the luau would be for all the
participating businesses to be
happy with the turnout. He said
he hoped to host the event twice
a year if everything goes well Sat-
urday.
Spencer said the day of the par-
ty may be a bit stressful for him,
but that he would like to try to en-
joy it like everyone else.
Making sure its a success is
whats going to feel good in the
end, he said.
Brendan Begley, a sophomore
from Wichita and one of the
original creators of the luau, said
he was worried only about the
weather conditions Saturday.
Its supposed to rain on Sat-
urday night, so were worried less
people might come out because
of that, he said. Its the normal
Kansas weather.
Tere is a 36 percent chance of
rain Saturday, according the the
National Weather Service.
Troughout the day, the luau
organizers will be giving away 100
shirts. Shirts are available online
for $15 to $21.
Te creators of Larryville Luau
have paired the event with Mid-
west Charities to raise money for
the Lawrence Humane Society.

grant Martin, a sophomore formStillwater, Okla., catches some air while wakeboarding Tuesday afternoon. The KU
wakeboarding club practices four nights a week from3 p.m. to dark and is open to riders of all experience levels.
BY NANCY WOLENS
nwolens@kansan.com
The water temperature
was 45 degrees when
the season began on
April 1 but that didnt stop Tony
Gatti from getting all of his gear
together, driving to Clinton Lake,
hopping in the boat and ripping
the waters on his wakeboard.
Gatti, a junior from Lawrence
and president of the KU Wakeboard
Club, takes the boat out every day but
Sunday, and brings anyone who wants
to join with him.
The first day that we came out the wind
was so bad people couldnt sit on the front
of the boat without being soaked, Colby
Arnold, a freshman from Topeka, said.
But on Tuesdays club practice the water had
warmed up to 62 degrees and Gatti said the water
was butter. When water conditions are butter,
a term wakeboarders use to describe smooth water,
its the most ideal time to wakeboard. Rough or
choppy water conditions make it more difficult to
wakeboard and do tricks, he said.
Six people joined Tuesdays practice, their back-
ground in wakeboarding ranging from first-timers
to those who have been wakeboarding most of their
lives. Gatti, who has been wakeboarding for about
five to six years, said its not uncommon to teach
someone to wakeboard once or twice a week.
I would say about half our members have never
wakeboarded before, Gatti said. We are all always
learning and falling and no one minds helping out.
Gatti said he gets the same excitement from
someone who gets up for the first time as someone
who just landed his or her first flip.
Tayler Glock, a freshman from Liberty, Mo.,
was the first to jump in Tuesday. After his first fall,
Arnold gave Glock some advice.
Bend your knees a little more then explode like
your jumping, Arnold, who has been wakeboarding
since he was about 8 years old, said.
Glock went on a few more runs, then it was time
for his roommate, Max Newby, to give wakeboard-
ing his first try. Newby, a freshman from Shawnee,
said he was excited and knew he was going to fall a
lot, but was ready to go.
Wakeboarding group welcomes everyone to relax with splash
its tricky, tricky,
tricky
Tyler Botts, vice president
of KUs Wakeboard Club ex-
plains some of the tricks they
like to do:
tantrum: The rider does a
back fip, cutting in from his
heel side across the wake.
air rally: Rider cuts from
his heel side and fattens out
his body until he is complete-
ly extended. He then pulls
his body back down before
landing on the other side of
the wake. Its been described
as being like superman in
the air.
scarecrow: The rider cuts
from his toe side and does a
front roll with a 180 degree
(basically a front fip) across
the wake.
360: A 360 degree rotation
across the wake.

NATIONAL
Birther bill challenges Obama
AssoCIAted press
PHOENIX Arizona lawmakers
expressing doubt over whether President
Barack Obama was born in the United
States are pushing a bill through the
Legislature that would require the presi-
dent to show his birth certificate to get
on the states 2012 ballot.
The House passed the measure
Wednesday on a 31-29 vote, ignoring
protests from opponents who said its
casting Arizona in an ugly light and
could give the elected secretary of state
broad powers to kick a presidential can-
didate off the ballot.
Were becoming a national joke, Rep.
Chad Campbell, a Phoenix Democrat who
opposes the measure, said Thursday.
The measures sponsor, Republican
Rep. Judy Burges of Skull Valley, said
she wasnt sure Obama could prove his
eligibility for the ballot in Arizona and
wanted to erase all doubts.
You have half the population who
thinks everything is fine, and you have
the other half of the population who
has had doubts built up in their mind,
Burges said.
So-called birthers have contended
since the 2008 presidential campaign
that Obama was ineligible to be president
because, they argue, he was actually born
in Kenya, his fathers homeland. The
Constitution says that a person must be
a natural-born citizen to be eligible for
the presidency.
Hawaii officials have repeatedly con-
firmed Obamas citizenship, and his
Hawaiian birth certificate has been made
public, along with birth notices from two
Honolulu newspapers published within
days of his birth in
August 1961.
Courts have
rebuffed lawsuits
challenging Obamas
eligibility, but the
issue hasnt gone
away. Lawmakers
have introduced simi-
lar bills in a handful
of other states. They
include Oklahoma,
where a measure passed the House but
failed in the Senate, and Missouri, where
a bill was withdrawn before any action
was taken.
Eleven U.S. House Republicans have
signed on to a federal bill, but it hasnt
received a hearing in the Democrat-
controlled House.
Arizonas measure would require U.S.
presidential candidates to submit docu-
ments to the secretary of state proving
they meet the constitutional require-
ments to be president. The secretary
of state could then decide to keep a
candidate off the Arizona ballot if he or
she had reasonable cause to believe the
candidate was ineligible.
Arizona Secretary of State Ken
Bennett opposes the bill, arguing it gives
his office too much power, according
to his spokesman Matthew Benson.
Benson said Bennett,
a Republican, had no
doubts about Obamas
citizenship.
The bill now goes
to the Senate, where
supporters are try-
ing to pull together
enough votes to pass
the measure. If they
do, its unclear if
Republican Gov. Jan
Brewer will give it her support. Her
spokesman, Paul Senseman, said the gov-
ernor wouldnt comment on pending
legislation, but he added she didnt have
doubts about Obamas citizenship.
Rep. Tom Chabin (D-Flagstaff) plead-
ed with his colleagues to oppose the birth
certificate measure Wednesday.
When you undermine the sitting
president of the United States, you
undermine our nation, and it makes us
look very ugly, Chabin said Thursday.

Gatti and Arnold helped him put
the board on properly and prepped
him for his first time out.
Relax and let your knees come
to your chest, Arnold said.
Gatti told Newby to let the boat
pull him up and try not to turn
when the board was under water.
Gatti said guys tended to have a
harder time standing their first
time; girls usually could stand right
away. It has something to do with
their difference in center of gravity,
he said.
After about three or four runs,
Newby was getting tired from all
the attempts to stand up. He came
in for the day but said he definitely
wanted to keep trying. Everyone
gave him positive reinforcement
and guidance throughout his run. It
wont be his last time in the water.
Tyler Botts, vice president of KUs
Wakeboard Club, said that when
a first-time rider comes out, the
club gives the newbie a few pointers
and does what it can to make sure
the rookie stands. He said the best
advice someone can give to a new
rider is just to relax.
Most people tend to over-think
it and try to do too much, Botts
said. We tell them to let the boat
do the work and not to think about
turning your body will turn a
direction naturally.
Botts has been involved with the
club for two years and said he liked
wakeboarding because he compet-
ed against himself and because hes
always trying to get to the next level.
Last up for the day were Arnold
and Gatti. The two, who are more
experienced wakeboarders, strive to
throw various tricks when out on
the water.
Both attempted to do whats
called a double up, which is when
the boat driver makes a wide turn
and crosses over the wake. Gatti
said the trick could get the boarder
some extra high air.
The wakeboarder rides on the
inside of the turn and he hits the
two wakes as they meet, where the
wakes can be up to three times the
size of a normal wake, Gatti said.
Gatti said he loved the atmo-
sphere of wakeboarding when hes
surrounded by beautiful weather,
friends and music.
The Wakeboard Club is amazing
because, for the few hours youre on
the boat, its summer again, Gatti
said. And nothing else is more
relaxing than the summer.

trash. Gibson said she hoped to
display the box, which cost $130
and took a few hours to build,
multiple times a year so people
could see what makes it to the
trash.
I hope this box can stick
around for five to 10 years,
Gibson said.
Even if the box falls apart,
the results from the audit will
be passed on. The group will
be able to compare this years
numbers with previous studies
in 2004 and 2005. In 2004, 67
percent of the trash could have
been recycled. That grew to 85
percent in 2005.
The numbers from this
year will go to the Center of
Sustainability and the Student
Environmental Advisory Board
for the groups to use for further
recommendations and studies
on recycling, said Celeste Hoins,

Volcano interrupts
Air Force fights
BY ERIC TALMADGE
Associated Press
RAF LAKENHEATH, England
U.S. Air Force officials warned
Thursday their biggest fighter
wing in Europe could suffer
long-term damage if Icelands
volcano keeps belching ash into
the skies.
The Air Force sent two F-15
fighters on test flights Wednesday
and another eight Thursday,
but said not enough data had
been gathered to resume normal
operations, despite the lifting of
the civilian flight ban and the
return to the skies of commercial
airliners.
Col. John Quintas, an F-15
pilot who commands the 48th
Operations Group, said the test
flights all returned safely after
about 75 minutes in the air.

creed that, in reality TV, casting is

While piecing together their
nuttiest ensemble, the producers
took a ripped-from-the-(tabloid)
headlines approach. To wit: They
nabbed Palvelka (and his often
naked chest) fresh off the latest
steamy sea-
son of The
Bachelor, and
Lysacek right
after his con-
troversial gold-
medal victory
in Vancouver.
ESPN sports-
caster Erin
Andrews arrived in the wake of a
Peeping Tom scandal. Throw in
Anderson, along with the dearly
departed Gosselin and bad girl
Shannen Doherty, and youve got
an issue of People magazine play-
ing out before your eyes.
And, oh yeah, weve had some
decent dancing as well. Leggy
Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger,
in particular, is sensational. Her
electrifying tango with Derek
Hough on Monday night was
deemed the best dance of the sea-
son by finicky judge Len Goodman
and earned a pair of 10s.

H
aving been born and
raised on the plains of
Kansas, I know the wind
is a constant companion to the
prairie life. At its lightest, we wel-
come it. At its most destructive
and awe-inspiring, we curse it.
The wind here is so ubiquitous
that we prairie folk might fail to
recognize it as our most valuable
natural resource. Indeed, harness-
ing the wind could reshape the
economic fabric of our state, and
that of the entire nation along
with it.
Right now, Kansas produces
more than 75 percent of its elec-
tricity from coal. The National
Academy of Sciences estimated
the damage caused by air pollution
from burning coal, including the
human health cost, at $62 billion
dollars per year.
During the course of a year, the
average coal-fired power plant
pumps 10,000 tons of sulfur diox-
ide, 500 tons of airborne particu-
lates and more than10,000 tons of
nitrous oxides into the air, all to
the harm of our lungs.
A single coal plant also puts an
approximate 170 pounds of mer-
cury into the air, which eventually
settles into our soil and water.
There is currently a warning
against fishing in the Kansas River
near Lawrence because of mercury
in the water.
Not only would developing the
potential of wind power in Kansas
reduce our dependence on a dirty
and finite resource, but it would
fundamentally improve our states
economy.
Among U.S. states, Kansas
ranks third in available wind
resources. The U.S. Department
of Energy has a conservative pro-
jection that Kansas will produce
7,000 megawatts (mW) of electric-
ity from wind by 2030. This would
produce more than $2 billion in
economic output from construc-
tion and could power more than
1.8 million homes.
As part of a legislative compro-
mise on the Holcomb coal plants,
Governor Parkinson required that
Kansas produce 20 percent of its
electricity from renewables by
2020.
This is a substantial increase,
considering we currently produce
less than two percent of our power
from sources such as wind, hydro-
electric and geothermal energy
sources.
Ive never known Kansans to
be people who shoot for the bare
minimum. The American Council
on Renewable Energy (ACORE)
estimates Kansas as capable of
producing 20,000 mW of electric-
ity from wind power, or 200 per-
cent of what it consumes.
Not only would this generate
more than $6 billion in economic
output from construction, but it
would mean Kansas could become
an exporter of clean, renewable
energy.
If we can achieve this gold-
standard of renewable energy and
also capture turbine manufactur-
ing capabilities in-state, the results
would be astronomical.
ACORE estimates that by pro-
ducing every turbine we put up in
Kansas, the state would see a 238
percent growth in wind energy
jobs, and a 400 percent increase in
total economic output.
Developing renewable energy
manufacturing in our state would
create 11,000 new jobs and bil-
lions in investment in 425 existing
Kansas firms.
I dream about what reaching
our full potential would mean for
the home I hold so close to my
heart.
Kansas has the capability to cre-
ate a multitude of new, sustainable,
well-paying jobs and empower
local communities and economies.
Wind energy could revive local
control and community decision-
making.
Wind power developed along
traditional corporate lines would
be a huge economic advantage for
our state.
However, smaller, community-
owned wind projects have been
shown to create more jobs and
produce more economic output.
Naysayers call wind power
unreliable. They cite a lack of suit-
able transmission lines and a need
for backup generation by tradi-
tional sources.
This is a fallacy. The Kansas
Energy Council reports that the
state is in no immediate need of
increased baseload power, and
even an additional 20,000 mW of
wind energy would not require
any new backup generation.
So what can we do? The one
thing we cannot do is sit around
and assume that achieving our
wind power potential will happen
on its own.
Our senators and representa-
tives in Congress can push for a
federal renewable energy standard
to encourage investment.
The politicians in the state
house can craft legislation that
encourages the development of
wind energy. Kansas can do much
better than the standards it is cur-
rently pursuing.
Communities can get involved.
We can organize. Groups such as
the Climate and Energy Project
in Lawrence and the Great Plains
Alliance for Clean Energy can
rally support and make Kansan
voices heard.
Business leaders and local eco-
nomic development organizations
can focus their efforts on drawing
outside investors to see the ben-
efits of wind energy in our bounti-
ful state.
Consider this a call for state-
wide action to harness the wind.
Everyone can get involved, and
everyone has a part to play.
If we transform Kansas, we
can surely do the same to the rest
of the country. We can truly set
the stage for the rest of America.
Ill leave you with a quote from
William Allen White, the immor-
tal voice of the plains:
When anything is going to
happen in this country, it happens
first in Kansas.
Abolition, Prohibition,
Populism, the Bull Moose, the exit
of the roller towel, the appearance
of the bank guarantee, the blue sky
law, the adjudication of industrial
dispute as distinguished from the
arbitration of industrial differenc-
es these things come popping
out of Kansas like bats out of hell.

I
t seems that KUnited really
was KU, united.
The coalition dominated
last weeks elections, winning
almost every single seat it contest-
ed. Envisions largest victory came
when it won all graduate student
senate seats. Even that number is
deceiving, considering KUnited
only ran one graduate student
candidate.
Michael Wade Smith and
Megan Ritter won seats for
KUnited as president and vice-
president respectively, with 66
percent of the vote. For com-
parison, last year United Students
won the presidency by two per-
cent.
Are these numbers telling
the truth? Were students really
that united in their support for a
single coalition?
To be sure, those who voted
were united. The results bear that
out. But the vote doesnt tell the
whole story.
As it turns out, the vast major-
ity of the student body didnt vote.
From a student population of
25,000 students on the Lawrence
campus, only about 3,000 actu-
ally voted. That means 12 percent
of students voted. Thats a pretty
small amount, by any standard.
KUnited will surely claim vic-
tory, and to some extent they
should. However, the coalition
should also not construe its suc-
cess as an endorsement by the
entire student body. It is, in fact,
only an endorsement of the small
percentage of students who voted.
Most students dont feel strong-
ly about which coalition won and
couldnt care less about the day-
to-day politics of Senate. They
do take notice, however, when
the actions of Senate have direct
impacts on their lives. This is why
KUniteds new senators should
not expect widespread support
for every measure they attempt to
pass through Senate.
One of the downfalls of power
is that, when you have it, you
tend to become overconfident. To
avoid this, Smith should appoint
either Envision candidates Ross
Ringer or Devon Cantwell to
the Senate Executive Staff when
he makes his selections. The
appointment would make sure
Smith and other top senators take
a variety of opinions into consid-
eration when making policies.
If members of KUnited can
keep a diverse range of points of
view in mind as they pursue their
agenda, they should be able to get
a lot accomplished.
But we as students also have to
work to keep senators account-
able.
With essentially a one-coalition
body, Student Senate is likely to
have less internal accountability;
it only makes sense that members
of the same coalition are less like-
ly to be looking over each others
shoulders. Thats why the pressure
of ordinary students is important.
I still advocate for constituent
reports, which would require sen-
ators to submit a written report
twice each semester justifying
their votes to the students they
represent and saying what they
have done individually for their
constituents.
Absent that, I implore students
to e-mail their senators, talk to
them and generally get on their
case about what they do.
The better decisions Senate
makes, the better this campus
will be.

Consider alternate
historical opinions
I am a third generation
Jayhawk. That being said, my
Dad, although he attended
the University for three years,
didnt graduate. The article A
Generation Ablaze shows exactly
the reasons why.
My Dad was a Vietnam vet-
eran and worked as a nightshift
policeman while at KU. He
explained he chose to finish his
education at Pitt State because
times were different then. He said
it was a different university that
was greatly affected by the times.
When I read the article, I imme-
diately knew why my dad chose
to forego his KU education. I tex-
ted him and told him to read the
article. This was his response:
Brings back memories; too
few of them good. The source
material for the article was
weighted with interviews of
former activists, protesters and
radicals. It is so comforting to
hear that they have all taken their
60s world views with them into
adulthood, and, frequently into
positions at other colleges and
universities where they are able to
dissemble and disseminate their
distinctive world views and inter-
pretation of morality and truth
to succeeding generations of
students. Nothing changes with
these people. Idealism is all that
is important.
Good intentions always serve
as exculpation for tragic results.
They never admit error. They
never apologize. My generation
screwed this country up and has
spent the last 40 years congratu-
lating itself for a job well done.
In reading the article, I wonder
where are the interviews with
those on the other side of the
argument? The policemen? The
firemen? Or any number of the
thousands of students who didnt
support the agenda of the radicals
who took over the campus?
Romanticizing criminal activ-
ity through the bifocals of perpe-
trators isnt good journalism.
The University is a terrific
institution, but 1969-73 were four
of the most discouraging and dis-
appointing years of my life.

HEALTH
Awareness, early diagnosis key to beating Lyme disease
BY ALEESE KOPF
akopf@kansan.com
Its late. Christy restlessly lies in
bed waiting for the painful cries
she knows will soon wake her.
Abruptly, she hears her son shout
for her. Sweat drips from his body.
The fear and pain on his face is
unmistakable.
Christy brings a heating pad
for the cramps in his stomach and
legs. She gives him Tylenol to ease
the piercing in his head. She sits
with her arms around him in the
bed, a remedy the medicine cant
provide.
Her son, Michael, is 9 years old
and suffers from Lyme disease. The
dark circles under his eyes are the
only traces of the terrors his body
endures each night. His mother,
Christy Barnett of Lawrence, said
she had taken him to the hospital
numerous times.
Michael is very strong and cou-
rageous, but he can be afraid,
Barnett said. He is afraid of what
is going to happen to him. He has
told me, I am not going to get as
bad as you.
Michael has seen the medicine
bottles, syringes, and IV equip-
ment in his mothers bedroom and
knows the torment she endures.
He now sees his father, who he has
had to increasingly depend on in
his mothers absence, endure the
same pain. Michael, his mom, his
dad and perhaps his sister Trinity,
who is currently being evaluated,
all suffer from Lyme disease.
Lyme disease is a tick-borne
illness caused by the spiral-shaped
bacteria called Borrelia burgdor-
feri. The bacteria can cause infec-
tion of multiple organs and pro-
duce a wide range of symptoms.
These symptoms include a bulls
eye-shaped rash, fatigue, chills,
fever, headache, muscle and joint
aches and swollen lymph nodes.
When untreated, symptoms
severely worsen and sometimes
prove deadly in what is known as
chronic Lyme disease.
There is much debate over
how Lyme disease can be spread,
if it is contagious and how it is
transmitted. Therefore, Barnett
is unsure of exactly how all her
family members acquired it. She
said her entire family participated
in outdoor activities that exposed
them to ticks.
However, she said the
neurological signs and other
health problems her daughter
experienced from birth make her
wish she had been tested sooner.
State health departments
reported 28,921 confirmed cases
and 6,277 probable cases of Lyme
disease to the Center for Disease
Control in 2008. This is a five per-
cent increase in confirmed cases
from 2007.
Since 2008, health departments
have been reporting both con-
firmed cases and probable cases
of Lyme disease. Cases in Kansas
have doubled each year since 2006,
with 16 confirmed cases in 2008.
Barnett didnt recognize the dis-
ease until 2007. Since then, her
symptoms accelerated quickly.
First, she was too ill to work.
Her blood pressure dropped,
the left side of her body went
numb and she would faint after
being on her feet for more than
a few hours. She felt drunk, dizzy
and nauseous.
Her head, fingers and toes
were in horrible pain. Next, the
symptoms progressed to where
she couldnt remember where she
was.
I would get lost in the commu-
nity or at home, Barnett said. I
would lose my speech and ability
to think or process new informa-
tion. Symptoms would come and
go and never be the same every
day.
Barnett was suffering from
chronic Lyme disease. People like
the Barnett family who suffer from
chronic Lyme disease, have diffi-
culty locating doctors who recog-
nize and treat the disease. Doctors
who are Lyme literate are usually
expensive and out of state, Barnett
said. Misdiagnosis or late diagno-
sis of chronic Lyme disease is a
problem as well.
Patty Quinlan, supervisor of
nursing for student health ser-
vices, said Watkins only diagnoses
a few cases of Lyme disease a year.
But its common for somebody to
come in with a tick bite.
Before administering a Lyme
disease test, Quinlan said the
patient must meet specific require-
ments, including a bulls-eye look-
ing rash that came from an out-
door tick. In the past year, Watkins
has conducted three Lyme disease
tests. Quinlan said one problem
with diagnoses was that the rash
wasnt always present.
Any illness that a rash helps
with the diagnostics is difficult to
diagnose because a rash is never
the same on two people.
Patients with later stages of Lyme
disease, past the 30 days, start to
have arthritic-type complaints and
symptoms of the nervous system
that could be considered chronic
Lyme disease, Quinlan said.
There were times when Peggy
Blumhagen, a single mother of four
children who lives in Lawrence,
was unable to speak, walk or get
out of bed. She described the pro-
cess as slowly losing her ability
to process information, read or
calculate.
Its like being treated for AIDS,
Blumhagen said. We have IV
therapy, oral pills Ive had up to
17 shots a week. Its a very serious
disease if its allowed to continue
past the early stages.
People such as Barnett and
Blumhagen know the emotional,
financial, psychological and social
drains the disease causes.
They know the importance of
prevention, education and early
recognition that can circumvent
the problems of chronic Lyme dis-
ease.
For those reasons, but most of
all as a means of advocacy and
support for people currently with
the disease, Blumhagen helped
form the Kansas Lyme Fighters,
Inc. Through their own experi-
ences, the volunteer group helps
people who are too weak with the
disease to help themselves.
Barnett never dreamed her once
active and involved family would
all be victims of Lyme disease. She
said her family is now far from
normal, but that she is determined
to spread awareness.
Our family has been lucky to
have a very good friend and advo-
cate helping us find care, Barnett
said. Not all families have this
opportunity, so I want to help as
many people as I can.

Ligament
tear is not
the end
of the road
By tIM DWyER
tdwyer@kansan.com
twitter.com/T_Dwyer
T
here are generally two schools
of thought when approaching
a young pitcher with serious
ligament damage in his elbow. One is
to avoid them completely as far too
high a risk.
The other is to be Ritch Price.
Price is a big believer in Tommy
John surgery, a reconstructive
elbow surgery that allows a pitcher
to recover 100 percent from a torn
ligament, but takes at least a year to
completely rehab from.
The recovery rate for Tommy John
is truly amazing. Its not uncommon
for a pitcher to come back throwing
three or four miles an hour harder
than he was before getting hurt, but
oftentimes the year away from pitch-
ing screws with the players develop-
ment or mechanics or velocity to
such a degree that he cant produce at
the same level as he did pre-injury.
Prices pitching staff features
three regulars who have undergone
Tommy John surgery to repair torn
ligaments in their throwing elbows
and a fourth in closer Brett Bochy
who had to have the procedure done
recently after sustaining the injury
this season.
Cameron Selik is the highest-
profile of the three. Selik originally
committed to UNLV but tore a liga-
ment in his elbow his senior year
of high school. The Runnin Rebels
took away the scholarship and Selik
was shunted to two years of junior
college work. Price liked what he saw
and recruited Selik, who is now the
Jayhawks No. 2 starter behind staff
ace and former Team USA member
T.J. Walz.
Wally Marciel has been with
the program the longest, but after
excelling his freshman year, Marciel
missed the last seven weeks of his
sophomore campaign and took a
medical redshirt his junior year with
the same injury. Marciel came back
this year as a junior to become one of
the Jayhawks top options out of the
bullpen. Hes posted a 2.66 ERA in
17 appearances on the season.
Prices latest reclamation project,
redshirt freshman starter Thomas
Taylor, showed off his consider-
able potential in shutting down the
Missouri Tigers Wednesday in a 1-0
Kansas victory at Kauffman Stadium.
Taylor, as a junior in high school,
pitched Blue Valley West to a state
championship, but suffered guess
what a torn ligament in his throw-
ing elbow in his senior year. He tried
to rehabilitate the injury without
surgery before coming to Kansas,
but eventually decided to get the
procedure done and take a medical
redshirt in his first season with the
Jayhawks.
Since the year started, Taylor
has been one of the best options
Kansas has on the hill. Over his last
14 innings, Taylor has allowed just
seven baserunners and zero runs
while striking out 19. With senior
Brett Bollman working his way out
of the weekend rotation, Taylor could
quickly find himself as the Jayhawks
consistent third option (although it
looks like freshman Tanner Poppe
will likely get that nod).
With Prices success with bringing
pitchers back from the surgery, dont
call it a comeback.

Spring game raises uncertainties
By Jayson JEnks
jjenks@kansan.com
Theres a chance Saturday will
ease the swirling questions about
Kansas depth chart and quarter-
back position. Then again, theres
a chance the annual spring game
may only stir more uncertainty.
Such is the nature of spring
football, when questions are com-
mon but answers are few.
For the first time under coach
Turner Gill, Kansas will publicly
showcase next years team. And
perhaps no position enters with
as much outside interest as
quarterback. Thing is, none of
the guys involved in the highly
publicized battle knew what to
expect after Mondays practice.
They havent mentioned any-
thing to me, freshman Kale Pick
said.
Im really not sure what the
format is going to be, freshman
Jordan Webb said.
Uncertainty is an expected part
of spring football any year. But
this season the Jayhawks are filled
with more question marks than
proven players.
Part of that is because of the
graduations and early departures
of established producers.
But the real story of this
years spring practices deals with
a pledge Gill made upon first
arriving at Kansas: Every player
will have an equal opportunity to
compete for a starting job.
Its a message shared by coaches
throughout the country, but Gill
and his staff carried no attach-
ments or preconceived notions.
Each player truly started on level
ground this spring.
I want to
really give
these guys an
opportunity to
see what they
can do, Gill
said early in
the spring.
Pick, Webb
and the
remaining four
quarterbacks
entered under
similar circumstances.
At this point, though, the battle
appears to be a two-way competi-
tion between Webb and Pick, the
favorites heading into practices.
Webb is touted as more of a true
pocket passer, and he has drawn
comparisons to Todd Reesing for
his ability to create plays. He also
has the stronger arm.
Pick is the better runner
a point that
could help him
in Gills versa-
tile offense
but he insists
that hes not
just a running
quarterback.
Hes also the
only quarter-
back on the
roster with
game experi-
ence.
There is great competition,
Gill said. It puts a smile on my
face when you have some guys
who can make some plays.
Since the first practice, Gill and
quarterbacks coach Chuck Long
have talked about the importance
of demeanor while also stressing
the need for a quarterback who
makes his teammates better.
Those are two aspects to keep
an eye on Saturday.
No matter what offense you
run, you definitely want a guy
that takes care of the football, Gill
said. You definitely want a guy
that will be able to make plays,
whether with his legs or with his
arms.
But the main thing is trying to
raise the level of play of the guys
that are around him. If hes able
to do all three or four of those
things, then youll have an out-
standing quarterback.
I want to really give
these guys an opportunity
to see what they can do.

Kansas pitchers must control Texas Tech bats

When the Red Raiders enter
Hoglund Ballpark for a three-
game series this weekend, the
Jayhawks arent expecting any
1-0 finishes.
Kansas (24-14-1, 5-6-1) will
host a heavy-hitting Texas Tech
team that promises to feature a
bunch of offense.
Texas Tech boasts one of the
top offenses in the Big 12, rank-
ing fourth with a .310 team bat-
ting average and first with 193
walks, 439 hits, 109 doubles and
305 runs scored.
They have a really good
plan at the plate, coach Ritch
Price said. They put the ball
in play and they battle with two
strikes.
The Red Raiders took two
of three from the Jayhawks last
season in Lubbock, where they
used that high-powered attack
to strike for 22 runs in their two
victories.
Because of Texas Techs offen-
sive prowess, Price said the
burden would fall on Kansas
pitching staff, which starts with
junior T.J. Walz tonight.
Walz struggled in his last
outing on April 17 against
Nebraska, where he lasted only
four and 1/3 innings and got
pounded for seven runs on nine
hits.
But the week before against
Texas on April 9, Walz had one
of the best outings of his career.
The junior pitched eight and
1/3 innings, allowing only two
runs while striking out seven.
I think hes going to have to
pitch as good as he did against
Texas to give us an opportunity
to win, Price said.
Price said he was confi-
dent that if Walz set the tone
A
fter tomorrows spring game,
football and basketball news wont
seriously start up again until
August. Its time for reflection on these
seasons and what made them memorable:
resignations, a shoving match behind
Wescoe and a guy named Farokhmanesh.
And to do this, of course, the Brew
looks to the Haiku.
If youve forgotten from your 8th grade
English class, a haiku is a form of poetry
which began developing in Japan between
the 9th and 12th centuries. Though short,
haikus can be difficult because of the con-
straining syllable limits: five for the first
line, seven for the second and five again
for the third.
So here we go. Again, were recapping
the mens basketball and football seasons
in haiku form.

Player to watch Player to watch
Question mark
Kansas (24-14-1, 5-6-1) returns home winners of four straight after
Wednesdays thrilling 1-0 victory against Missouri at Kaufman Sta-
dium. The Jayhawks are looking for their frst series sweep this season
against a Big 12 opponent or otherwise.
on Friday, then senior Cameron
Selik and freshman Tanner Poppe
would follow suit on Saturday and
Sunday.
If a starter falters against Texas
Tech, Kansas bullpen is well rested
and throwing extremely well of
late.
Junior Wally Marciel, who has
allowed only three runs in his last
six and 2/3 innings, and senior
Travis Blankenship, who hasnt
allowed a run in his last four and
2/3 innings, have grown stronger
as the season has worn on.
Price said the recent successes
of his pitchers especially his
bullpen rested in their ability
to continually find the zone with
first-pitch strikes.
When pitchers fall behind in
the count, theyre forced to throw
fastballs to hitters that are expect-
ing them. Against teams like Texas
Tech, those pitches often find the
seats.
When weve had trouble its
been when were behind in the
count, he said.
Marciel agreed, saying that
retiring leadoff hitters and limit-
ing walks were points that pitching
coach Ryan Graves emphasized.
C o a c h
Graves always
stresses that
walks will
always kill you,
Marciel said.
As a pitching
staff, we take it
on our shoul-
ders and take it
really person-
ally to not walk
guys.
If the Jayhawks pitching holds
up, all indications are that their
offense will have plenty of chances
against a Red Raiders staff that is
the polar opposite of its offense.
Texas Techs pitching staff car-
ries a 6.36 team ERA by far the
worst in the conference. Kansas
team ERA is 4.48, which has
continued to decrease in recent
weeks.
The Red Raider pitchers are
also tops in the conference in a
few other unflattering categories,
including a
c onf e r e nc e -
high 181 walks,
a .301 opposing
batting average
and 431 hits
allowed.
T h o u g h
Price said
the ideal sce-
nario for the
Jayhawks was
to jump out to an early lead, he
acknowledged that the offense
would go for naught if the pitching
didnt hold up.
It all goes back to the pitching,
Price said.

baseball (cOntinued frOm 1a)
Freshman pitcher Tanner Poppe
Walz and Selik set the tone as Kansas Friday
and Saturday starters, but the burden of closing
out the weekend with a fourish now falls on
poppe, Kansas new Sunday starter. poppe aced
his frst Big 12 test, throwing six strong innings in
last Sundays victory against Nebraska. He needs
to repeat that performance against Techs potent
ofense.
Can the Jayhawk pitchers hold of
the Red Raiders attack?
Scoring runs against Techs pitching staf shouldnt be a
problem for Kansas. But holding Techs ofense in check is a
much tougher task. The red raiders get on base at a prolifc
clip, and when they do, they cash in on those opportunities
.
18-6 Kansas record when holding opponents to fewer than
fve runs
23-4 Kansas record when scoring fve or more runs
.250 Third baseman Tony Thompsons average in 19 games
since returning from injury
The best chance for a series victory relies on the Jayhawk pitching staf, particularly the three
starters. if Kansas pitchers continue to throw well and keep Texas Techs ofense in check, a series
victory and perhaps a sweep is attainable.
Behind Texas (13-2) and Kansas State (9-3) the rest of the Big 12 teams are all lumped
together in the middle, including both Texas Tech (8-7) and Kansas (5-6-1). A series victory for
either side means a huge jump up in the conference standings.
Texas Tech is the surprise of the Big 12. The red raiders come into this weekends matchup
with the Jayhawks riding a four-game winning streak. True freshman Barrett Barnes
emergence is a big reason for that surprise success. The red raiders are currently sitting
third in the Big 12 Standings with a conference record of 8-7 after being picked last in the
preseason conference rankings.

First baseman Barrett Barnes
The reigning Big 12 player of the week had an excellent
series against Oklahoma. Barnes hit two home runs and
drove in fve runs, helping Texas Tech take two games
from the Sooners. Barnes leads the Big 12 in runs
scored with 49.
When will the Red Raiders level of?
Texas Tech is in strong contention for the NCAA Tournament, but they have not
faced stif competition up until meeting Texas and Oklahoma. They took one game
from Texas and defeated the Sooners in two out of three. The red raiders pitching staf
is by far the worst in the conference and its only a matter of time before it catches up to
them.

MLB
pirates face worst rout in team history
AssociAted Press
PITTSBURGH Ryan Braun,
Jim Edmonds and the Milwaukee
Brewers went totally batty.
The Brew Crew piled up 25
hits Thursday and trounced
Pittsburgh 20-0, handing the
Pirates the most-lopsided loss in
their 124-year history.
It was fun and it was spe-
cial, said Braun, who homered,
doubled, singled and drove in
five runs. This game is really so
much about failure, particularly
as a hitter, that you rarely get a
day where everyone is enjoying so
much success at the same time.
Ive never been involved in a
game like this and I likely never
will be again. So, I enjoyed it and
Ill savor it. Its one to remember,
he said.
Milwaukee matched a club
mark for margin of victory and
set a record for its biggest shutout
win.
Prince Fielder hit his first home
run of the season while Edmonds
and George Kottaras also con-
nected they were among 10
Brewers with an RBI. Milwaukee
finished with 12 extra-base hits.
Milwaukee led 10-0 after five
innings then scored six runs in
the seventh and four more in the
ninth. Edmonds doubled twice
and singled. Rickie Weeks dou-
bled twice, singled and scored
four times.
Now that was something else,
Milwaukee manager Ken Macha
said.
Randy Wolf (2-1) pitched six
scoreless innings and three reliev-
ers finished up. The Brewers won
their fourth in a row and gave
Pittsburgh its third straight loss.
Daniel McCutchen (0-2) was
tagged for six runs and eight hits
in 3 2-3 innings. Remarkably, his
ERA stayed the same as it was
entering the game, 14.73.
Lots of times, it felt like I
was throwing batting practice to
them, McCutchen said.
The Brewers also won by 20
in 1992 when they beat Toronto
22-2. The Pirates previous one-
sided loss was by 18 runs, done
twice.
Milwaukee swept the three-
game series and outscored the
Pirates 36-1. Pittsburgh has lost
eight times this season, by at least
six runs each time.
According to STATS LLC, it
was the fifth most-lopsided shut-
out in modern major league his-
tory, which began in 1900.

Gill: Teahan improved durinG The sprinG
Since his frst practice on March 31, junior Conner Teahan has
insisted that he truly wants to compete for Kansas starting quar-
terback position.
Teahan, the walk-on basketball guard who decided to try out for
the football team this spring, spent the frst few practices without
pads, attempting to pick up drills by watching
the other quarterbacks.
Hes behind the 8-ball a little bit because of
time-wise, coach Turner Gill said.
Yet Gill said on Monday that Teahan has
developed quickly this spring. Teahan starred as
a two-sport athlete at Rockhurst High School in
Kansas City, Mo., and he received interest from
Division I football programs.
But until March 31, Teahan hadnt played
organized football since high school.
Hes making it interesting because with the reps that hes been
getting, Ive seen him do some things where Im kind of like, Hey I
like that, Gill said. Again, hes putting himself in a position.
Teahan said that he will sit down with Gill at the end of spring
practices to discuss his future with the team. Kansas wraps up
spring practices tomorrow.

With a new coaching staff that
features new schemes and termi-
nology, every player on the roster
needed to adjust.
For the quarterbacks, those
changes included more emphasis
on lining up
under center.
The Jayhawks

almost entire-

mation last

Long, who
also serves as
Kansas offen-
sive coordinator, said the switch
in philosophy isnt a radical
adjustment from a quarterbacks
perspective.
Still, the Jayhawks said they
needed time to adjust.
I was a little nervous about it
coming in because I havent real-
ly done it since junior football,
Webb said. Its been different,
but its been good.
The move also affords Kansas
the opportunity to more effec-
tively use play action. Webb said
the Jayhawks are therefore able
to take more chances throwing
the ball deep
down the
field.
T h e r e s
great mix-
ture in this
offense, Pick
said. Not
only from the
run pass ratio
but also from
personnel. We
can get three tight ends in there
at one time or four receivers or
three backs. I think it will give
defenses tough times.

kansas faces of
against Minnesota
By Ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com

The womens rowing team
will travel north this weekend to
take on the Minnesota Golden
Gophers.
The race, originally scheduled
to be on Lake Phalen, has been
changed to the Mississippi River.
The Jayhawks were out of action
last weekend after facing Bucknell,
Old Dominion and Rhode Island
in Pennsylvania the weekend
before.
We were able to slow things
down, senior Stacy Rachow said.
We should be so much faster after
all the things that we have been
changing.
Minnesota should present a
tough test for Kansas. The Gophers
are currently ranked just out-
side the top 20 in Division 1. But
the Jayhawks are coming off an
impressive victory against Kansas
State three weeks ago winning
every race but one and a strong
showing two weeks ago out east
winning four races against tough
competition. This weekend is the
last competition before the Big
12 championship on May 1 in
Oklahoma City, Okla.
I think we are feeling pret-
ty good, Rachow said. We are
eager to see how we will match up
against them because Minnesota is
usually a top 20 team.

The Kansas womens basketball
team commemorated the 2009-
10 season with its postseason
reception and senior celebration
Thursday in the Kansas Union
Ballroom.
We certainly faced more than
our fair share of adversity this
year, said coach Bonnie Henrick-
son. They say that 10 percent of
who you are is what happens to
you and 90 percent is what you
do about it. I could not be more
proud of these young women
and how they responded to the
trials and tribulations they faced
this season.
After jumping from the bench
to a prominent role in the
Jayhawks scoring equation, fresh-
man guard Monica Engelman was
recognized as Ms. Jayhawk.
The award is given to the player
who best embodies the spirit
and vision of the Kansas womens
basketball program.
The San Antonio, Texas native
replaced the injured Danielle
McCray and instantly took on a
demanding workload. While she
had her of nights, Engelman dis-
played the potential of a program
cornerstone.

Kansas City takes Vols' safety Berry
Mcclatchy-triBunE
KANSAS CITY, Mo. This
time, the Chiefs arent planning to
wait to get big help from their first-
round draft pick. Theyre expecting
safety Eric Berry not only to start
immediately, but help lead a long-
awaited defensive transformation.
Eric has the characteristics
were looking for, coach Todd
Haley said. The captain of his col-
lege team. Extremely productive.
Loves football. Thats clear when
youre around him for any period
of time. Competitive. Hell come
in here and amp the competition
up and not just the secondary, but
all areas.
The Chiefs selected Berry with
the fifth pick in the first round of
the draft, which began Thursday
night. The draft continues today
with the second and third rounds.
The Chiefs have two picks in the
second round and another in the
third.
The Chiefs still have needs at
wide receiver, tight end and line-
backer, among other places
When you have the type of year
we had, you have a lot of needs,
Haley said. We went through the
process with the staff and at times
we had to laugh about it: We could
use this and we could use this. But
youve got to narrow it down and
youve got to try to take the guy you
think can help you the most.
Haley and the Chiefs are happy
to wait until today to attack their
other needs after choosing Berry, a
6-feet, 211-pound safety.
Safety was arguably the big-
gest hole on their roster. Among
established players, they have only
Jarrad Page, who missed much of
last season with an injury, and Jon
McGraw, mainly a special teams
player.
Berry, who declared for the draft
after his junior season at Tennessee,
had 14 interceptions in his three
collegiate seasons.
The pick differs from last years
selection of defensive end Tyson
Jackson in the first round. The
Chiefs expected Jackson would
need time to grow into the posi-
tion.
Not so for
Berry, who has
been compared
to Pittsburghs
Troy Polamalu
and Baltimores
Ed Reed for
his ability to
impact a game
as a safety.
I watched a
lot of film on
Ed Reed and
Troy Polamalu, Berry said. I just
try to take both of them and try to
make my own kind of safety. I just
try to look and see the way they
attack ball carriers, the way they
disguise the plays, the way that they
use their instincts to make plays. I
like the way they play the game.
Berry is a versatile player. He has
good coverage skills, so the Chiefs
can use him in a variety of ways on
passing downs. He is also a big hit-
ter and a solid run defender.
Hes a physical player, Haley
said. He looks for contact. I dont
think hes afraid
to make big
plays. Hes ver-
satile. He has
the ability to
cover and in the
division were
in, weve got to
cover tight ends
and receivers
and backs.
Thats one of
the big positives
with him is that he does have some
position flexibility, so to speak. Hes
shown the ability to cover in man to
man situations and hes a very good
down in the box hitter and hes
been real good in the back end out
in the open field. On top of that, he
looks like he has a little knack for
pressuring the quarterback.
Available to the Chiefs when
the picked were, among others,
Oklahoma State offensive tackle
Russell Okung and Alabama line-
backer Rolando McClain. But
Haley indicated the Chiefs settled
on Berry, as long as he was avail-
able, long ago.
As the time went on, it just
became more and more clear this
was the fit for us. This is a kid . .
. on Fridays of game week theyd
find him in the equipment room
helping the equipment manager
shine the helmets before a game
day Saturday at Tennessee. With
what you see on the football field,
obviously, it just became clear that
this was the guy for the Chiefs.
Its been building. There were
a bunch of points during this pro-
cess where (general manager Scott
Pioli) and I would look at each
other and whisper to each other
that this may be the guy.
The Chiefs drafted a safety in the
first round only once, that being
Jerome Woods in 1996. Safeties
generally arent picked quite so
high in the draft. The last safety to
be picked as high as number five
was Sean Taylor by Washington
in 2004.
This was the fit for us, Haley
said. I dont think we were going
to let a lot of things take us out
of that.
The games a little different.
When you look at some of the
numbers around the league, spe-
cifically the last two years, youd
better have some guys to defend
the pass.
He'll come in here and
amp the competition up
and not just the second-
ary, but all areas.

Senior Kuni Dorn will play on
her home court for the last time
when the Jayhawks take on the
Red Raiders and the Bears this
weekend, finishing out their regu-
lar season.
The Jayhawks will face No. 70
Texas Tech this afternoon at 2
p.m. and No. 2 Baylor Sunday at
11 a.m.
Right now I am saying I am not
going to cry and stuff, but I know
that when I get there I will prob-
ably cry and be really sad about
it, Dorn said. We still have Big 12
after it, but something is going to
end and that is sad.
Sophomore Erin Wilbert said
the senior day for Dorn would
be emotional because the team
would be losing a sister. Freshman
Victoria Khanevskaya agreed that
it would be tough to lose Dorn,
but looks forward to senior day.
It will be wonderful,
Khanevskaya said.
At the No. 1 doubles spot,
sophomores Kate Morozova and
Wilbert will face the No. 78 dou-
bles team of Kelsy Garland and
Natalie Leitch from Texas Tech.
The Kansas duo is 7-6 overall and
5-4 in conference play.
In Kansas last match against
Oklahoma, Wilbert and
Khanevskaya led the team, each
winning their singles matches.
I just want to come out and
play, Wilbert said. Hopefully the
weather will be really nice and
I am glad that we are playing at
home because I always feel better
on my home turf.
Going into the weekend
Khanevskaya is riding a four-
match win streak.
We are playing at home the
same and I am really excited about
it, Khanevskaya said. We have to
come out with a lot of energy and
show who Kansas is.
The Jayhawks are 9-12 overall
and 1-8 in conference going into
this final weekend of conference
play.
I am really hoping we can beat
Texas Tech because that would
help us a lot in the conference
even though that would only be
two wins, Dorn said. Baylor
they are No. 2 in the nation, so I
think I am just going to enjoy my
senior day on the court.

Ofensive surge proves not enough for Kansas
Hitting a wall
Proposal to expand
NCAA tournament
cBs sports and Turner
Broadcasting system, inc. have
reached a deal with the ncaa
that will increase the tourna-
ment feld to 68 teams and have
every game televised.
The 14-year deal, slated to
begin in 2011 and run through
2024, is worth more than $10.8
billion. all division i mens
teams will be seen across four
national networks: cBs, TBs,
TnT and truTV.
ncaa division i mens Basket-
ball committee unanimously
passed the recommendation
Wednesday. The division i Board
of directors will review the
proposal april 29.
kansas coach Bill self thinks
the expansion is good for the
sport.
many people thought it
would go to 96 teams, but this
will be a good way to see if the
tournament needs to move
towards 96 teams, he said in a
press release Thursday. i like
the fact that every game will be
televised in its entirety. i think
that is very good for college
basketball.
Aldrich to throw
frst pitch Sunday
Junior center cole aldrich will
throw the ceremonial frst pitch
when the kansas city royals
play against his hometown min-
nesota Twins sunday, april 25 at
1:10 p.m.
i was too tall to play football
and baseball, but this will be
fun, aldrich said in a press
release Thursday. i may have
to practice a time or two before
sunday and get some tips from
c.J. (Henry) since he played pro
ball.
There is also a possibility,
time permitting, that aldrich
will guest star in the foX spots
midwest TV booth during the
third inning.
its the perfect game for al-
drich because he will be watch-
ing two teams he enjoys.
Being from the Twin cities,
ive always loved the Twins,
aldrich said. Having been at
kansas for the past three years,
i have become a royals fan as
well because its close to catch
a game.

The first game between Kansas
and Nebraska was a defensive
struggle, and Nebraska edged
Kansas 2-0. But in the rematch,
the two teams combined for four
home runs and 13 total runs.
While Kansas was unable to get
well-timed hits in the first game,
the Jayhawks focused on mov-
ing runners, freshman infielder
Mariah Montgomery said.
Still, Kansas couldnt generate
enough offense, falling to Nebraska
8-5 in Lincoln.
Kansas fell to 18-27 (1-11)
for the season while Nebraska
improved to 27-20 (6-6).
We stranded a lot of runners in
the first game and it was our goal
to get some of those runners home
in this game, Montgomery said.
Kansas started out hot with a
two-run homer from Montgomery
in the top of the first, and a bases
loaded walk in the second that
put Kansas up 3-0 early. Nebraska
picked up a run in the bottom of
the second, but the bottom of the
third was the turning point in the
game.
We came out on top early, we
got runs all the way throughout
the game, Montgomery said.
One inning just didnt go our way,
and that kind of put it together for
them.
For the 15th time this season,
Kansas let a team score four or
more runs in an inning.
Nebraska scored four runs in
the third. Two of the runs were
scored when senior pitcher Sarah
Vertelka picked her back foot off
of the rubber during a pitch while
the bases were loaded, an illegal
maneuver that allows base run-
ners to advance.
Junior pitcher Allie Clark said
even though Nebraska was get-
ting the breaks, Kansas never
faltered.
They had a few balls drop,
and things just went their way,
Clark said. We werent down on
ourselves at all.
Instead of giving up, Kansas
came back determined to win.
We didnt stop fighting the
whole game, Montgomery said.
Even after they scored those four
runs, we didnt stop fighting.
Nebraska had a solo home run
in the fourth, but Kansas hit its sec-
ond two-run homer of the game in
the fifth to pull the Jayhawks with-
in two at 7-5. Nebraska responded
with its second solo home run
in the sixth, and Kansas couldnt
answer, falling to Nebraska 8-5.
Though Kansas couldve given
up after the third inning, coach
Megan Smith said she was happy
the team continued to play hard.
They came out fighting and
fought the whole game, Smith
said.
Though Kansas did fight, Smith
said the team still needed to work
on putting together a full game
with pitching, defense and offense.
For us its about consistency
and making sure we are going
out there and focusing on the lit-
tle things the entire time, Smith
said.
Kansas will return to action at
2 p.m. tomorrow when it begins
a two game series against Texas
Tech (33-12, 5-8).The Red Raiders
swept the first place Big 12 team,
No. 8 Oklahoma State, Thursday.
Clark said the team was already
getting focused for Texas Tech and
wont let the Nebraska loss linger.
Were not the type of team to
get bummed out and carry it with
us, Clark said. We expect more
from ourselves, so we arent allow-
ing us to be that team.
