& with new KU athletics director Sheahon Zenger

BY ALEX GARRISON
agarrison@kansan.com
Editor’s note: Today is the first
official day in office for Sheahon
Zenger, the University’s new athletics
director. Zenger sat down with The
Kansan last week.
The University Daily Kansan:
What would you like to say to the
student population about what you
intend to do in this position?
Sheahon Zenger: I think we have
one of the greatest student bodies
in the nation. The support in Allen
Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium
— the spirit that has always been
at this institution — is unmatched.
Secondly, I want to get out amongst
the students, sooner than later.
Student government groups, living
groups, living organizations, what-
ever the groups may be and just get
to know you and hear you and see
how we can make it an even greater
relationship and experience for the
students.
Kansan: What more can you tell
us about your plans for your time
in office?
Zenger: It would be kind of arro-
gant of me to come in and say,
‘We are going to do this.’ I think
it is important for me to come in
and listen and find out what the
desires of the student body are and
sit down with the staff here and
match up with what has been done
in the past and what can be done
in the future. That is what I have
done in the past and that is what
I would like to do here. I am very
slow to come in with mandates and
say we are going to do this and this
and this and this. Those mandates
may not fit the place that you are
coming to.
Kansan: How do you feel that
the athletics department should
complement the academics of the
University?
Zenger: At the institution that
I just left, many of my colleagues
and friends were the faculty. I like
to spend my free time with and be
around the deans and professors.
I enjoy the intellectual discourse
that goes on on a college campus.
That is something that I hope the
rest of our staff, our coaches and
our student athletes would enjoy as
well. It’s first and foremost in your
college experience.
Kansan: There has been the ongo-
ing issue with ticket scandal crisis.
We’d like to know, just how much
trouble is the athletics department
in? And how do you plan to dig out
the department as well as make sure
the corruption previously present
doesn’t happen again?
SZ: I have to be a little careful
until I am officially on the job. I
have been briefed on some of the
scenarios and will be given much
more when information in the
ensuing weeks. I need to review
the files and the information and
do not want to do anything to
overstep my bounds with regard
to what is going on at the state or
federal levels.
At the same time, a day-by-day
approach to gathering information,
communicating with the student
body and ensuring that account-
ability (is key). Until you get to
know the staff and the campus and
how structures are set up, it would
be arrogant of me to say we are
going to do this and this and this
and this. It is something that we are Adam Buhler/KANSAN

Homebrewing is a rewarding alternative to store beer

After Robert Decker’s fresh-
man year in 2007, he developed an
appreciation for high-quality beer.
The only problem was that Decker,
a graduate student from Stillwater,
Okla., could not legally buy alco-
hol. Although Decker’s problem
was common among younger
students, his solution was a bit
unorthodox: He began brewing the
beer himself.
“It was a means for me to sort

Kate Meyer, curatorial assis-

at the museum, said the idea
for the exhibit stemmed from
a broad university-based col-
laboration.
“The University came out
with the idea a month or two
ago when several instructors
requested everyone share their
resources in African-American
history, which could be useful
for many classes.”
Cheryl Lester, an American
studies professor who has
used the teaching gallery for
her classes, appreciates that
the museum offers such a pro-

Americans brew beer at home at
least once a year. The Lawrence
Brewers Guild has around 100
members, according to the group’s
newly-elected president, Russell
Brickell. Brickell, who began
homebrewing four years ago and is
now an assistant brewer at 23rd St.
Brewery, said homebrewing could
be a creative outlet for students.
“If you’re going to drink beer,
you might as well drink something
you made yourself,” Brickell said.
Decker said that on average,
five gallons of beer, or 50 bottles,
costs him about $25 to make. That
equates to roughly 50 cents per
bottle. He said it’s more expensive
for beginners because they need
to purchase equipment and will
likely use malt extract, a processed

Students interested in working

Selected candidates will learn
more about KU, establish a more

“bieb” myself confused and sad, as
I assume many of us would.
Why? We ask weakly. Why is this
happening? We might be tempted
to blame the subject himself and
hate him a little, or a lot, for the
tremendous gap we perceive
between the aesthetic quality of
his music/age/appearance and his
invasive popularity.
But that is misguided.
Yes, his whole phenomenon is
obnoxious. Remember, though,
Bieber is fresh out of childhood. He
probably has little control over his
image and career trajectory. He is
just a pawn in the entertainment
industry—a rich, irritating pawn.
He’s got something that people
like, so he and his team of brand
managers are exploiting the hell
out of it.
And that’s capitalism, kids.

Arab people need help and
support for change of power
W
ill the tidal wave of
protests in the Arab
world wipe the region’s
most autocratic regimes?
In the weeks since the self-
immolation of Mohammad Bouazizi,
touched off mass demonstrations
and prompted the ouster of Tunisian
President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali,
numerous commentators have been
posing that provocative question.
And no wonder. While WikiLeaks’
cables released last year indicated
mounting unease with the out-of-
touch Ben Ali and his family, few
predicted that the president of 23
years faced imminent overthrow.
Who’s to say Egypt’s Hosni
Mubarak, Yemen’s Ali Abdullah
Saleh, Libya’s Muammar el-Qaddafi
or even Jordan’s King Abdullah aren’t
next?
Call it the domino theory of Arab
democratization. Once discontented
citizens of an authoritarian nation
see that it’s possible to get rid of the
most entrenched of incumbents,
they’ll take to the streets and hold
their leaders’ feet to the fire.
The outbreak of rallies last week
against Mubarak seemed to bolster
this view. While many Egyptians
have long resented their president’s
usurpation of power and suffocation
of dissent, which lead to large dem-
onstrations against his American-
supported, 30-year-old regime, it’s
hard to argue that the latest protests
would have happened without
Tunisia’s Jasmine Revolution.
Tunisian activists emboldened
Egyptians across the political spec-
trum – from the fundamentalist
Muslim Brotherhood to secular
opposition leader Mohammad
El-Baradei. Aided by Facebook and
Twitter – the same social networking
sites crucial to organizing Tunisian
protestors – Mubarak’s opponents
are showing they’ve had it with cen-
sorship, imprisonment and secrecy.
So what distinguishes uprisings in
Egypt and Yemen from Iran’s Green
Revolution of 2009, which offered
hopes for a change of power only
to see those hopes dashed by brutal
repression?
After all, activists aren’t the only
ones drawing lessons from Tunisia.
Autocratic rulers took note: change
must be made. But for Mubarak and
other Arab autocrats, change will
likely mean beefed-up crackdowns,

KU Romping the Raiders TECH

COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF

tipoff Kansas looks for a win in Lubbock tipoff

At a Glance
KANSAS VS. TEXAS TECH At a Glance
8 p.m., United Spirit Arena, Lubbock
Texas Tech is coming off three

KANSAS TEXAS TECH

A week-and-a-half ago, Texas
Tech looked like a pushover op-
ponent for the Jayhawks. Now,
Texas Tech is 3-0, Kansas is 2-1 and
Bill Self, somehow, still hasn’t won
in Lubbock, Texas. That’s not to say
the Jayhawks won’t be a double-
digit favorite. Kansas is more
talented at every spot on the floor,
and Pat Knight is not the coach
that his legendary father, Bobby,
was. The Jayhawks are back at No.
2 in the rankings, and they should
stay there after this week.
Player to watch
Junior forward,
Marcus Morris
Morris is a vital part of Kansas’
success, but he has to get better
at defending without putting his
hands on his man. Foul trouble
has been an
issue for both
Morris twins
since they
came to Kan-
sas. If Marcus
isn’t on the
Morris floor, Kansas
loses the key
cog in its of-
fense. He’s never been more vital
to the Jayhawks, which means it’s
never been more important for
him to stay out of foul trouble.
question mark
What’s the deal with Bill Self
and Lubbock?
Seriously. You’d be hard-pressed
to argue that Self is not one of
the top five coaches in America,
but for whatever reason, he hasn’t
been able to pull out a victory at
Texas Tech, which has hardly been
a power in the Big 12. Tech has
handed Kansas its first conference
loss in two of the last three times
the Jayhawks visited. The third
time, two years ago, The Red Raid-
ers smoked the Jayhawks by 19,
handing Kansas its second confer-
ence loss of the season.

“In the next nine days, there’s
a good chance we will know a
lot more about our conference
chances.”
— Bill Self after beating Kansas State
19-1, (4-1)
starters
Tyshawn Taylor, guard
Taylor got after it this past week,
having a personal renaissance of sorts.
He shot 70 percent from the field and
had 22 points in the Jayhawks’ last two
games. Over the last three games, Tay-
lor had 12 assists against three turn-
Taylor overs. Continuing to keep the ball out
of the other team’s hands is essential
to his NBA prospects.
★★★★✩
Tyrel Reed, guard
Reed has yet to have a lights-out
day from the field this season. He’s
been solid all the way through,
but has had only one 50-40-
90 day — 50 percent from
the field, 40 percent from
the three and 90 percent
Reed
from the line — and that
was against Texas. He’s a
more effective all-around
player, but he’s shooting a
career-low 37.8 from be-
hind the arc.
★★★✩✩
Josh Selby, guard
Selby capped a week of bounce-
back performances with Big 12
Rookie of the Week honors, an-
nounced Monday morning. Selby had
an unsightly five turnovers in the win
against Kansas State, but he was solid
otherwise, with 12 points on six shots
Selby and four assists. Even if he just does
that, minus anything spectacular, it’d
be a huge benefit for Kansas.
★★★★✩
Marcus Morris, forward
Morris actually had a down week in
terms of output, but he’s been so ef-
fective that it’s hardly noticeable. He
shot 75 percent from the field, aver-
aged 12.5 points and racked in an
additional seven rebounds, which
helped Kansas go 2-0. However,
Morris he didn’t play more than 30 min-
nutes in either game because of
foul trouble. That’s a problem
he has to fix.
★★★★★
Markieff Morris, forward
Markieff was off in Colo-
rado, finishing with just six
points on six shots. He was
flat-out brilliant against Kan-
sas State, though, finishing
with 20 points and nine
Morris
boards in a dominant
effort against the Wild-
cats. He’s been great
at staying out of foul
trouble lately, which
has long been his
kryptonite.
★★★★★
— Tim Dwyer
— Tyshawn Taylor
14-7, (2-4)
starters
David Tairu, guard
Tairu is averaging nine points a game. He is
shooting 33.3 percent from behind the arc. He
is one of two starters that has a positive assist/
turnover ratio. He is averaging one assist per
game and 0.68 turnovers per game. He has 55
rebounds on the season, 19 of them coming on
the offensive end.
★★✩✩✩
John Roberson, guard
Roberson is the main ball handler for the Red
Raiders. He leads the team with 82 assists, 4.1
per game. He is second with 12.9 points per
game. His average of 1.4 steals per game leads
the team, although Brad Reese has more total
steals. Roberson is the player Texas Tech wants
at the line if the game is close at the end. He
is shooting 79 percent, a team best for players
with 25 attempts.
★★★✩✩
Robert Lewandowski, forward
Lewandowski is fourth on the team with 9.3
points per game. His 5.1 rebounds per game
put him as second on the team behind Single-
tary. He is also second on the team with 19
blocks. Lewandowski is averaging one assist
per game. Lewandowski has not attempted a
three pointer this season, and it is highly
unlikely that he will
attempt one to-
night. The Red
Raiders can’t af-
ford to lose Lewan-
dowski because of
foul trouble. He has
fouled out three times this season;
tonight might be four if the Mor-
ris twins and Robinson take it
to him.

straight wins in conference and
hopes to make it four when Kan-
sas comes to Lubbock tonight. Bill
Self hasn’t won in Lubbock since
he took over in 2004 and Texas
Tech coach Pat Knight wants to
keep it that way. The Red Raiders
have played well in their last three
games, but their average margin
of victory is only 3.6 points. The
Red Raiders are balanced as its five
starters are averaging nine points
or better a game. Texas Tech’s three
scorers in double figures average
about 10 shots a game.

He is not only a statistical leader
for this Texas Tech team, but he is
the vocal leader. The one thing the
Red Raiders do not want from Sin-
gletary is for him to start shooting
threes. He is 4-31 (12.9 percent)
on the year. If Kansas starts to pull
away, Singletary will need to stay
composed and continue to score

from inside. If he isn’t scoring, he
will need to get others involved to
give the Red Raiders a chance.
question mark
Can Texas Tech hand Kansas
another loss in Lubbock?
While Texas Tech has been play-
ing well during the last week, it
has not been close in its losses.
The Red Raiders lost at home to
Baylor by 12, Texas by 21 and on
the road to Kansas State by 34 and
Oklahoma by nine. Texas Tech will
need to play shutdown defense
and shoot the ball tremendously
well to defeat a Kansas team com-
ing off a 24-point trashing of Kan-
sas State. Kansas has had success
all year long while Texas Tech has
it against lackluster opponents. A
Reese win against the Jayhawks is great
for the resume, but it is unlikely to
happen. Look for Bill Self to grab
his first win in Lubbock.

“When you win three games
in a row in this league, you have

now is that after they make a mis-

victory from Aggies
No. 3 Texas tramples No. 16 A&M
ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLLEGE STATION, Texas —

Jordan Hamilton scored 20 points
and No. 3 Texas rolled to an easy
69-49 win over No. 16 Texas A&M
on Monday night, the Longhorns’
first victory in College Station since
2004.
Texas never trailed and built a
25-point lead by halftime thanks to
hot shooting and their trademark
stifling defense. The Aggies out-
scored the Longhorns by five points
in the second half, but the domi-
nant first half kept Texas (19-3, 7-0)
undefeated in the Big 12.
B.J. Holmes had 19 points for
Texas A&M.
Texas made it look easy in this
one and even some Texas A&M fans
looked to be in awe when Hamilton
hit a nifty hook shot from a tough
angle that made it 60-36 with about
8 minutes left.
Texas harassed the Aggies into
their worst shooting performance
of the season at just under 31 per-
cent and their 17 field goals were
one off their season low. The Long-
horns have held each of their Big
12 opponents to 63 points or fewer
and two of the last three haven’t
reached 50.
Khris Middleton, who entered
the game leading the Aggies in
scoring at almost 16 points a game,
was held scoreless on 0-of-9 shoot-
ing with Hamilton guarding him.
Texas A&M had trouble on of-
fense all night, but never was it more
pronounced than when Kourtney
Roberson tried for a dunk only to
see it fall into the net and then pop
back out.

Stage set in just nine days
Junior forward Marcus Morris is whistled for a foul as he swats the ball away from Kansas State forward Jamar Samuels. Kansas’ defeat of Kansas State set the stage for a two-team race for the Big 12 title.
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
It’s not a typical three-game run
that will be one of the defining
moments in Kansas’ season this
year. It starts tonight with Texas
Tech, which hasn’t been a top-tier
team in years, to Nebraska, which
is generally a bottom-feeder in
the league, and then Missouri
at home — a game Kansas has
owned in recent years.
But it’s not a typical Big 12. Bill
Self still hasn’t picked up a victory
at Texas Tech, where the Jayhawks
play tonight, and Nebraska and
Missouri are up — way up —
from just a few years ago.
“In the next nine days,” Self said
after beating Kansas State, “there’s
a good chance we will know a
lot more about our conference
chances.”
Those conference chances,
which took a major hit when the
Jayhawks took their only loss thus
far to Texas, will rebound if the
Jayhawks can pick up a game on
Texas.
The Longhorns’ last game of
the season against a ranked team

Kansas football coach Turner
Gill is giving Jayhawk fans an
early chance to see the 2011

scheduled for Wednesday in
Kansas City at the Sheraton
Overland Park Hotel and has
been cancelled.
Fans will get a chance to
meet Gill and Athletic Director
Sheahon Zenger, as well as view
highlight videos of the new-
est group of Jayhawks, which
conference clarity
A&M. After their victory against
the Aggies, the Longhorns will be
favored in every game from this
point forward, and a clean sweep
of the Big 12 is a possibility, albeit
a remote one.
On the other hand, Kansas’
schedule actually gets more dif-
ficult. They have faced one ranked
team, then-No. 11 Texas, in the
first half of the conference slate.
They’ve got three — No. 11 Texas
A&M and No. 13 Missouri twice
— and cannot afford a misstep in
their quest for a seventh-straight
conference title.
Key in avoiding any slip-ups,
as always with a Self-coached
team, is the defensive intensity
of the Jayhawks. Steady defense
has always been a staple for

See what’s going on this week in Big 12 conference play. KU looks for Self’s
first win in Lubbock while the Red Raiders aim to extend winning streak.
field.
“I have a lot of respect for
Jacob,” Self said, “but we did a
fabulous job on him.”
Kansas State finished with 66
points on a brutal 33.8 shooting
percentage. If Kansas keeps up
that kind of defensive pressure,
it could force Texas into winning
out to get the Big 12 title.
Twice as nice
For the second time this
season, Josh Selby has been
named the Phillips 66 Big 12
freshman of the week for his
performances against Colorado
and Kansas State.
Following
Kansas’ first
loss of the
season, Selby
led the team
in scoring
against a
Selby
talented Colo-
rado team.
His 17 points, along with four
rebounds and five assists led
“We just played our principles,”
Marcus Morris explained after
Saturday’s game. “Our coaches did
a nice job of scouting them, and
we did a nice job at practice the
last couple days, just going over
their stuff so we kind of knew a lot
of their sets.”
The good news for Kansas is
that it is coming off probably its
the team to a tough road win,
82-78. He averaged 14.5 points
this week after his 12-point out-
ing against Kansas State.
ESPN commentator Dick
Vitale talked before the Kansas
State game about the freshman
guard from Baltimore, Mary-
land. He said that the most
dangerous aspect of Selby’s
game is his ability to attack.
“Obviously, he’s a combina-
tion guard he can either handle
the ball or shoot it,” Vitale said.
“He’s got a world of potential.”
While attacking the basket is
an important aspect of Selby’s
game, he found a rhythm with
his outside shooting this week,

best defensive performance of the
season. The better news is that
they don’t face an elite offense until
Marcus Denmon and Missouri
visit Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 7.
Self ’s nine days end then. And
Kansas’ conference chances will
be a lot clearer.

going 3-for-3 from three-point
range against Kansas State
and 3-for-6 from long distance
against Colorado.
Despite missing the first nine
games of the season, Selby
is currently the third highest
scorer for the year on the team
with 11.8 points per game. He
is also the third leading scorer
among Big 12 freshman.
Selby received his first Phil-
lips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the
Week award on December 20.

he other day at the grocery
store as I stood in line
(and hoped my debit card
wouldn’t be declined), I watched a
young kid grab at his mother’s leg
and beg for just one more piece
of Bubblicious, or just one more
Snickers. The mom, who looked a
little embarrassed, rolled her eyes
and tried to explain to her son just
how spoiled he really was. Timmy
was flabbergasted. He obviously
disagreed. Who wants to be called
spoiled? Timmy didn’t think he
had it great. And for the most part,
fans don’t either, until 15 years later
and they’re sitting there thinking
about how great that 25-year run
was.
In the movie, “Blow,” Ray Liotta
says, “When you’re up, it’s never as
good as it seems, and when you’re
down, you never think you’ll be up
again.”
To speak of just how spoiled
Kansas basketball fans have been
the last 25 years, that quote doesn’t
even apply to them. Because you
see, Kansas basketball hasn’t been
down during the last 25 years.
Not in the way 99 percent of col-
lege basketball perceives the word
“down.” A hall-of-fame coach
has been succeeded by two sure-
fire hall-of-fame coaches and
Kansas has won 17 conference
titles, seven Final Fours, and two
NCAA championships. Players like
Danny Manning, Paul Pierce, Kirk
Hinrich, and Sherron Collins have
run out of the northwest tunnel of
Allen Fieldhouse.
I can’t and won’t blame fans
for being spoiled. With that track
record, it’s nearly impossible not to
be spoiled. I’m just here to offer a
nice reminder of how great Kansas
and its fans have it.
Take a glance to the east.
Mizzou hasn’t won a conference
title since 1994 and they missed
the NCAA Tournament five times
this last decade. In Manhattan,
the Wildcats missed the big dance
eight times in the last decade, and
they are currently in the middle
of a collapse of epic proportions.
A camping group from Saturday’s
game held a sign that read, “No.
3 to NIT,” and it looks to be spot
on. K-State was ranked No. 3 in
the national polls this pre-season.
Now, after Saturday’s 90-66 loss in
Lawrence, the National Invitation
Tournament seems inevitable.
The rivals on both sides of
Kansas give fans a nice heaping
plate of perspective on a yearly
basis. Take it in while you enjoy
watching yet another top-10 team
challenge for a seventh consecutive
conference title and another trip to
the Final Four.
The last 25 years in Lawrence
aren’t common. The crazy thing,
however, is that with Bill Self at
the helm, things don’t look to be
changing. Self took over for the
outstanding coach, Roy Williams,
in 2003 and has won 83 percent of
his games, captured six conference
titles and won a national champi-
onship.
Nearly every year like clockwork,
fans reach for that extra piece of
candy and their coach provides. It
can’t last forever, though. So before
you’re old and grey, reminiscing of
these years, don’t forget that you’re
witnessing something special right
before your eyes.
