    The student voice since 1904

    Vandals apparently broke apart a
    menorah that sat outside the Chabad
    Center for Jewish Life, 1203 W. 19th
    St., this weekend, said Rabbi Zalman
    Tiechtel, co-director of the center.
    The six-foot-high metal menorah
    was broken into two pieces horizon-
    tally and many of the branches were
    taken from the site, Tiechtel said. He
    said he believes the incident was van-
    dalism and not a hate crime.
    Tiechtel also said because of the
    large size of the menorah and because
    it is made of metal and would be diffi-
    cult to break apart, several individuals
    were probably involved.
    Lawrence police said damage was
    estimated at $1,000. Police believe the
    incident occurred some time between
    6 p.m. Friday and 6:45 p.m. Saturday.
    The center hopes to recover the
    menorah and law enforcement is
    involved, Tiechtel said. However, a
    campaign is also underway to raise
    money for a bigger, brighter, better
    menorah.
    Our approach is very positive,
    Tiechtel said.
    The KU Chabad website includes
    information about the campaign for
    a new menorah and a form to allow
    individuals to donate.
    The Menorah represents commu-
    nity, bringing people together, accord-
    ing to the site. Therefore we want this
    effort to be done together. Let this be
    the Community Menorah, something
    that encompasses the hearts of hun-
    dreds of Jayhawks.

    Nothing is more terrifying for
    most students than putting in
    four years of hard work, count-
    less hours of studying, and thou-
    sands of dollars into a college
    education, just to find out that it
    might have been for nothing.
    The research from
    Academically Adrift: Limited
    Learning on College Campuses,
    by sociologists Richard Arum
    from New York University
    and Josipa Roksa from the
    University of Virginia, involved
    more than 2,300 undergradu-
    ates and found that 36 percent
    of college students show no sig-
    nificant improvement in criti-
    cal thinking, complex reasoning
    and writing by the time they
    graduate.
    Matt Melvin, the assistant
    vice provost for student success,
    doesnt see this as a problem for
    the University of Kansas.
    On average, the curricular
    and co-curricular experience
    provided to an engaged student
    provides them with an opportu-
    nity to develop skills necessary
    to succeed in the new work envi-
    ronment, Melvin said.
    Cody Alley, a junior from
    Lawrence, is in the UKanTeach
    program and helped teach a
    class at Central Jr. High his first
    year at the University. He said
    that while his experience teach-
    ing was only a glimpse into the
    real world, the hands on expe-
    rience provided him with the
    basic skills he would need in the
    work place.
    While some students may still
    be lacking a few skills, employ-
    ers in the area are usually
    impressed with KU graduates.

    State officials and family
    members of victims involved in
    hit-and-run fatalities say stricter
    punishment is needed for drivers
    who flee the scene of an accident,
    especially in a college town like
    Lawrence.
    District Attorney Charles
    Branson, along with family
    members of victims in Lawrence,
    presented testimony supporting
    House Bill 2044 to legislators in
    Topeka on Jan. 27.
    The House Corrections and
    Juvenile Justice Committee will
    work on the bill and Chairwoman
    Pat Colloton said she hopes the
    bill will come out of committee on
    Monday or Tuesday in order to be
    heard on the house floor.
    House Bill 2044 increases the
    penalties for leaving the scene of
    an accident where great bodily
    harm or injury occurs.
    If this bill
    can deter driv-
    ers who have
    hit someone
    from leaving
    their victims on
    the side of the
    road without
    aid, seemingly a
    more egregious
    crime than the
    accident itself,
    then it may save
    lives and deserves your support,
    Jeffrey Stolz said. Stolzs wifes
    20-year-old sister Rachel Leek was
    killed while riding her bicycle in
    2009.
    Branson said he can look back
    at several instances during the last
    few years where someones left the
    scene of a fatality accident and
    there was proof that they were
    possibly driving under the influ-
    ence. But once they flee the scene,
    Branson said, they rob the state
    the chance of trying to build proof
    of intoxication at the time of the
    accident.
    Ryan Kanost, a 2006 Lawrence
    senior, was walking with a group
    of friends crossing Kentucky Street
    in a crosswalk late one night in
    September 2006. A car struck
    Ryan in the crosswalk killing
    him and fled, according to tes-
    timony provided by Branson given
    by Ryans father, Michael Kanost
    to legislators.
    The driver who killed Ryan had
    been drinking heavily and when
    he left the bar that night, one of
    his friends tried to prevent him
    from driving. After the accident
    and without rendering help to
    Ryan, he drove back to the bar
    where he told his friends some-
    thing bad had happened, accord-
    ing to Kanost.
    The driver was sentenced to 90
    days in jail, with work release.
    From 2004 to 2008, hit-and-run
    accidents averaged 9.2 percent of
    all accidents in Kansas, accord-
    ing to the Kansas Department of
    Transportation. Thirty-five acci-
    dents resulted
    in death.
    The cur-
    rent law,
    some believe,
    provides an
    incentive for
    intoxicated
    drivers to leave
    the scene of an
    accident rather
    than face the
    consequences
    of a driving under the influence
    conviction.
    Theyre weighing their
    options, if you will, Branson said.
    Under the law, someone who
    leaves the scene of an injury
    accident is charged with a level
    10 persons felony. In essence,
    that means that someone with
    no criminal history is looking at
    probation.
    House Bill 2044 increases
    the penalty from a level 10 to
    a level eight persons felony,
    which increases the time that a
    person can be sentenced to jail.
    Ultimately, the discretion will still
    lie with the courts and the judge,
    based on the circumstances of the
    case.
    The big change though, Branson
    said, is if an injury or death
    occurs.
    This bill increases the severity
    of the crime and if the bill passes,
    the person would have the pos-
    sibility of serving 32 months in
    prison.
    Branson said ultimately his
    hopes for the bill are twofold.
    He hopes this will take the
    incentives out of fleeing the scene
    and encourage people to seek
    medical assistance.
    House Democratic Leader Paul
    Davis of Lawrence said,Weve
    unfortunately had a lot of tragic
    instances here in Douglas County
    and several family members of vic-
    tims pointed out to me that they
    thought there was a real deficiency
    in the law whereby people who
    have usually been driving drunk
    and have killed someone are not
    being punished to the degree they
    ought to be.
    Ryan Crums father Thomas
    Crum was killed in 2008 in a hit-
    and-run accident and spoke out
    in support.
    As lawmakers, sometimes you
    need to force people to do the
    right thing, Crum said. This is
    one of those times.

    are coordinated by both barnard and Stephanie Jian, with direction

    in Overland Park, said that of all
    the schools they recruit from in
    the Kansas City area, on average
    they see the best results from the
    University.
    KU students are good at the
    technical side as far as their spe-
    cific discipline, Gibbar said.
    Phyllis Stevens, the human
    resources manager at Bernstein-
    Rein, a large advertising com-
    pany in Kansas City, Mo., has
    similar views of KU graduates.
    She said overall the quality of
    applicants she received from the
    University was pretty high. The
    one problem Stevens encoun-
    ters, not specifically from the
    University but recent graduates
    across the board, was that stu-
    dent lacked skills in attention to
    the small details such as spelling
    and professionalism, or the soft
    skills.
    While the Limited Learning
    study paints an unflattering
    image of college students, it is
    not critical thinking and writ-
    ing skills that seem to be the
    main problem for KU students.
    Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, assistant
    vice provost for student success,
    said that in order to help distin-
    guish oneself, students should
    take academically challenging
    courses and stay engaged.

    State officials and family
    members of victims involved in
    hit-and-run fatalities say stricter
    punishment is needed for drivers
    who flee the scene of an accident,
    especially in a college town like
    Lawrence.
    District Attorney Charles
    Branson, along with family
    members of victims in Lawrence,
    presented testimony supporting
    House Bill 2044 to legislators in
    Topeka on Jan. 27.

    Pat Colloton said she hopes the
    bill will come out of committee on
    Monday or Tuesday in order to be
    heard on the house floor.
    House Bill 2044 increases the
    penalties for leaving the scene of
    an accident where great bodily
    harm or injury occurs.
    If this bill
    can deter driv-
    ers who have

    from leaving
    their victims on

    then it may save
    lives and deserves your support,
    Jeffrey Stolz said. Stolzs wifes
    20-year-old sister Rachel Leek was
    killed while riding her bicycle in
    2009.
    Branson said he can look back
    at several instances during the last
    few years where someones left the

    Ryan Kanost, a 2006 Lawrence
    senior, was walking with a group
    of friends crossing Kentucky Street
    in a crosswalk late one night in
    September 2006. A car struck
    Ryan in the crosswalk killing
    him and fled, according to tes-
    timony provided by Branson given
    by Ryans father, Michael Kanost
    to legislators.
    The driver who killed Ryan had
    been drinking heavily and when
    he left the bar that night, one of
    his friends tried to prevent him
    from driving. After the accident
    and without rendering help to
    Ryan, he drove back to the bar
    where he told his friends some-
    thing bad had happened, accord-
    ing to Kanost.
    The driver was sentenced to 90
    days in jail, with work release.
    From 2004 to 2008, hit-and-run
    accidents averaged 9.2 percent of
    all accidents in Kansas, accord-
    ing to the Kansas Department of
    Transportation. Thirty-five acci-
    dents resulted
    in death.
    The cur-
    rent law,
    some believe,
    provides an
    incentive for
    intoxicated
    drivers to leave
    the scene of an
    accident rather
    than face the
    consequences
    of a driving under the influence
    conviction.
    Theyre weighing their
    options, if you will, Branson said.
    Under the law, someone who
    leaves the scene of an injury
    accident is charged with a level
    10 persons felony. In essence,
    that means that someone with
    no criminal history is looking at
    probation.
    House Bill 2044 increases
    the penalty from a level 10 to
    a level eight persons felony,
    which increases the time that a
    person can be sentenced to jail.
    Ultimately, the discretion will still
    lie with the courts and the judge,
    based on the circumstances of the
    case.
    The big change though, Branson
    said, is if an injury or death
    occurs.
    This bill increases the severity
    of the crime and if the bill passes,
    the person would have the pos-
    sibility of serving 32 months in
    prison.
    Branson said ultimately his
    hopes for the bill are twofold.
    He hopes this will take the
    incentives out of fleeing the scene
    and encourage people to seek
    medical assistance.
    House Democratic Leader Paul
    Davis of Lawrence said,Weve
    unfortunately had a lot of tragic
    instances here in Douglas County
    and several family members of vic-
    tims pointed out to me that they
    thought there was a real deficiency
    in the law whereby people who
    have usually been driving drunk
    and have killed someone are not
    being punished to the degree they
    ought to be.

    Crum was killed in 2008 in a hit-
    and-run accident and spoke out
    in support.
    As lawmakers, sometimes you
    need to force people to do the
    right thing, Crum said. This is
    one of those times.

    In the story Alternative breaks ofer an afordable experience on
    page 3A of the feb. 4 newspaper, Julia barnard was reported as co-
    ordinating all 13 breaks this semester. The Alternative Spring breaks
    are coordinated by both barnard and Stephanie Jian, with direction
    from Whitney bloom and Aleese Kopf. In addition, the photo under
    the Catalina Island headline was taken in Central Park in New york

    CoRRECTIoN
    CRImE
    in Overland Park, said that of all
    the schools they recruit from in
    the Kansas City area, on average
    they see the best results from the
    University.
    KU students are good at the
    technical side as far as their spe-
    cific discipline, Gibbar said.
    Phyllis Stevens, the human
    resources manager at Bernstein-
    Rein, a large advertising com-
    pany in Kansas City, Mo., has
    similar views of KU graduates.
    She said overall the quality of
    applicants she received from the
    University was pretty high. The
    one problem Stevens encoun-
    ters, not specifically from the
    University but recent graduates
    across the board, was that stu-
    dent lacked skills in attention to
    the small details such as spelling
    and professionalism, or the soft
    skills.
    While the Limited Learning
    study paints an unflattering
    image of college students, it is
    not critical thinking and writ-
    ing skills that seem to be the
    main problem for KU students.
    Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, assistant
    vice provost for student success,
    said that in order to help distin-
    guish oneself, students should
    take academically challenging
    courses and stay engaged.

    Cow in Arkansas
    gives birth to
    rare set of triplets
    JONESBORO, Ark. Guess it
    runs in the family: A descendant
    of an Arkansas cow famed for
    giving birth to triplets multiple
    times has birthed her own set of
    triplets.
    Rancher David Jones tells the
    Jonesboro Sun his mixed-breed
    cow named Nosy Rosy gave
    birth to the triplets on Jan. 25.
    According to Oklahoma State
    University researchers, beef cat-
    tle have triplets in one of about
    105,000 pregnancies.
    Jones says he named Nosy Rosys
    calves Larry, Curly and Moe.
    Nosy Rosy is the great-grand-
    daughter of a Charolais-mix cow
    named Faith who had four sets
    of triplets. Nosy Rosy was a trip-
    let, as was the calves father, who
    descended from the same blood-
    line. Jones says that almost guar-
    anteed Nosy Rosy would have a
    multiple birth.

    he recent death of Lisa
    Robinson at the mere age of
    43 highlights the importance
    of womens heart health. February is
    National Heart Awareness Month. As a
    female college student, I am constantly
    reminded about my health and safety:
    breast cancer, human papillomavirus
    leading to cervical cancer, and the
    dangers of domestic violence and abusive
    relationships are just some of these
    concerns. These topics are all vital, but
    never has heart health been stressed as
    significant at my age.
    According to the National Heart
    Association, cardiovascular disease is
    still the No. 1 killer of women. NHA
    also said while one in 33 women has
    a chance of dying from breast cancer,
    one in three will die from heart disease
    without prevention.
    Luckily, heart disease is also the No. 1
    most preventable disease in this country.
    Eighty percent of these cardiac ailments
    may be prevented if the right life choices
    are made.
    Both women and men can develop
    plaque in their large coronary arteries.
    This causes them to narrow, which
    eventually creates a blockage because
    blood cannot pass through. However,
    it is hard to detect plaque during an
    angiogram. The plaque forms a thin
    layer in the lumen rather than lumpy
    blocks, so blood still flows evenly.
    Women, on the other hand, are more
    likely to develop heart disease in the tiny
    arteries also known as micro vessels. If
    enough micro vessels are under stress,
    the outcome is the same as a blocked
    artery.
    So,why go RED?
    Because the life decisions we make
    now will be carried out in our future.
    A solid foundation for minimizing
    your risk of heart disease is founded by
    lowering both your blood pressure and
    cholesterol numbers.
    This is attainable by healthier diet
    choices: stopping smoking, reducing
    alcohol intake and exercising more.
    I know we are stressed out college
    students, but add some almonds, salmon
    (omega three fatty acid), and blueberries
    to your diet. Instead of taking the bus,
    walk to class! Its better to work on
    health improvements now then pay for
    it later.
    Keep wearing your pink, blue and
    purple ribbons, but remember the red
    ones as well. Maybe wear a nice red dress
    when you go out. Wear your red lipstick.
    Wear those red heels. Wear your red KU
    gear. Go red for women.

    As a young female student in the
    heartland of America, I face complex
    equality issues that often go unnoticed.
    Not to discount these issues, but imag-
    ine having to confront the most basic
    inequalities every day.
    And, imagine the government has
    always accommodated such cultural
    divisions.
    Now, throw in a political revolution.
    Egypt has a lot to be proud of as a
    nation. Most obvious is the countrys
    rich and interesting history, which
    makes tourism an important element
    of Egypts economy. It has stood as an
    important ally to the United States and
    Israel over the years. And, it has a gen-
    eration of young people ready to stand
    up for how they believe their country
    should be governed.
    Although women in Egypt can study
    at universities, and many have actively
    participated in the political unrest,
    cultural traditions are still an obstacle
    to womens equal standing in public
    life.
    According to a New York Times
    article from last July, the recent shift
    many Egyptian women have made t
    public work has not resulted in any
    kind of cultural liberation for women
    in the country. In fact, this lack of
    change has discouraged many women,
    making the traditional, confining
    home life seem more appealing.
    This home life is not exactly the
    equivalent to being a stay-at-home
    mom in American society.
    The World Economic Forum Global
    Gender Gap Report rated Egypt
    120th out of 128 in gender equality,
    emphasizing problem areas of politi-
    cal empowerment and genuine female
    opportunity. In fact, the high unem-
    ployment that has been one reason
    for political unrest is significantly
    affecting women (although unem-
    ployed men in Egypt have been the
    medias focusanother example of the
    strong cultural gender dichotomy). It
    is safe to assume that the disconcert-
    ment with these problems has been an
    impetus for female participation in the
    revolution.
    Though this may seem indicative of
    progression toward gender equality,
    the young women of Egypt must make
    this a priority as they shift toward a
    more democratic Egypt.
    Though there have been whispers
    that a democracy might actually slow
    progress for womens rights, if women
    stand their ground and demand that
    their rights be taken into consideration
    during the transition, it could be a
    major victory for gender equality.

    We, the Commission on the
    Status of Women, would like to
    respond to the recent advice column
    about unplanned pregnancy. We
    felt as though what presumably was
    meant to be a humorous piece about
    the male perspective of unplanned
    pregnancy was instead inappropriate
    and offensive.
    First, let us say that the experience
    of unplanned pregnancy is never
    funny. Period. We, too, may have
    chuckled at the antics of Seth Rogen
    and Katherine Heigel in Knocked
    Up, but these authors are no Seth
    Rogen, Jason Segel and Jonah Hill,
    and their piece is far from amusing.
    Instead, it not only makes light of
    but also debases what for hundreds
    of women and men everyday is a
    very serious issue.
    While Kilgores good advice
    does bother to note, This doesnt
    suck as much for you as it does
    for her, and even suggests that the
    man might begrudgingly accept
    the duties of fatherhood, both
    Schumaker and Nichols abandon
    any kind of respect for the experi-
    ence of unplanned pregnancy with
    their grossly offensive humor.
    Shumaker suggests in his bad
    advice that the reader simply ignore
    his child and girlfriend, shirking his
    legal responsibilities as a parent, a
    suggestion made all the less humor-
    ous by the fact that this actually
    happens every day, leaving women
    and children across the nation in
    poverty.
    But Nichols ugly advice, by
    far, is the most offensive in its sug-
    gestion that the reader might use
    the market for human trafficking
    to trade his child for a piece of
    merchandise. Human trafficking,
    too, happens daily right here in the
    United States and is certainly no
    laughing matter.
    Such gross disrespect for the
    experience of women and men
    around the world (and on our cam-
    pus) who experience the pain and
    confusion of unplanned pregnancy
    is appalling. We can only hope that
    if faced with such a difficult issue
    in their own lives these authors will
    receive more compassion than they
    offer.

    Letter tO tHe editOr
    Revolution must consider womens rights
    I
    n his State of the Union address,
    President Obama said that we
    have never measured prog-
    ress by the yardstick of profits and
    economy alone, but that we measure
    progress by the success of our people,
    by the jobs they can find and the qual-
    ity of life those jobs offer and by the
    opportunities for a better life that we
    pass on to our children.
    While we may appreciate Obamas
    inspirational optimism, the fact is that
    the train wreck of our collective action
    exposes our countrys rigid yardstick of
    profit and economy.
    It sounds better when we call our
    financial motivations quality of
    life improvements, but lets face it,
    Americans value progress in dollars.
    Quality of life means access to
    money that can be exchanged for any-
    thing we need or want. Success is a job
    that enables us to buy a huge house, a
    sexy car and to maximize the diagonal
    dimension of our television set.
    If we really measured progress by
    the equitable access to employment,
    how would we explain the 7.3 percent
    discrepancy in unemployment rates
    for whites (8.5 percent) and African
    Americans (15.8 percent)?
    If we measured progress by the qual-
    ity of life that those jobs offer, how
    would we explain the millions of work-
    ing Americans who do not have access
    to health insurance?
    And if we measured progress by the
    better life we plan to provide future
    generations, how could we justify leav-
    ing our children a $14 trillion debt, a
    planet raped of resources full of dirty
    air?
    Legitimate quality of life consid-
    erations would require us to pursue
    progress in areas that we currently
    struggle to measure, areas such as
    social justice, environmental steward-
    ship and realistic, fiscal responsibility.
    The truth is that we have been
    ignoring the full scope of our human
    value system, and we are beginning
    to realize the physical, emotional and
    spiritual consequences of that neglect.
    We have been forced to make choic-
    es between company profits and envi-
    ronmental protection, between what is
    profitable for us and what respects the
    rights of others.
    These choices put us in countless
    psychological and emotional conflicts
    that force us to compromise our values
    in order to meet financial goals. We
    do care about our local community
    and global environment but societal
    expectations equate financial achieve-
    ment with personal responsibility and
    success.
    The good news is that we have the
    opportunity to change the rules.
    More and more people are choosing
    to operate according to a new system
    that honors the full range of human
    values. This new set of values doesnt
    ask us to sacrifice financial security. It
    simply gives us permission to consider
    social justice and environmental stew-
    ardship as well.
    For those of us preparing to enter
    the professional world, this shift pres-
    ents an opportunity to use our talents
    for more than ensuring our bosses six,
    or nowadays, nine figure salaries.
    It represents an opportunity to
    consider the things we care about
    and work toward the goals that truly
    inspire, motivate and excite us.

    Stop trying to hook up on FFA. Go
    out, get drunk, get laid. Ready ...
    Break!

    Im excited to see how much Doug
    Funnys ego swells when he gets
    back to town.

    Highlight of my weekend: building a
    snow couch.

    Did you know Queen Victoria
    smoked weed to help with cramps?
    Later, Midol!

    Getting laid would be so much
    easier if I had a girlfriend.

    How to make sure your date doesnt
    become your girlfriend? The rules
    for dating are the same as the rules
    for Gremlins.

    Its sad cause your love is like a bus;
    I may miss you, but I know more will
    come.

    If people are going to consistently
    use FFA to hook up, then the rest of
    us reserve the right to butt into their
    relationship. It IS a public forum,
    after all.

    You know hes a true gentleman
    when he lets you take the frst hit.
    Thats class.

    It isnt even a month into the new
    semester and O Chem has already
    destroyed my soul. Awesome.

    Ive decided to be a drug dealer like
    White Mike in the flm Twelve.

    EMILIO!!!!!

    My greatest drunk skill is being able
    to convince women to go to strip
    clubs with me.

    Its saying something when the
    thing you miss most from your past
    relationship is the free weed.

    Last week, my one-night-stand
    turned into a TWO night/three-day-
    stand thanks to the snowstorm.
    Worse? Or better? You decide.

    My mouth tastes like shame.

    Dear Pandora, what do Taking Back
    Sunday and Blues Traveler have in
    common? Fix this.

    I feel as though my promiscuity
    and drunken antics have made me
    ofcially unmarriable.
    When a crime breaks out, all the
    cute girls shout ... Get the Good
    Lookin Guy. Book him, Good Lookin!
    I cannot believe that you just
    quoted Boy Meets World. Coolest.
    Person. Ever!

    Girls pants just keep getting tighter.
    Jeans, pants, leggings, light colored
    leggings ... I cant wait till girls start
    going to class in their underwear
    and say its in style.
    This new iPod app for a virtual
    aquarium has helped me fulfll my
    life-long dream of being a marine
    biologist.

    Four more low-income hous-
    ing units will go up in Lawrence
    thanks to a $475,000 grant given
    to the City of Lawrence. With the
    help of the organization Tenants to
    Homeowners, the city has set one
    of the four locations at a vacant lot
    at 2123 Rhode Island. The other
    three remain up in the air.
    Margene Swarts, assistant direc-
    tor for Development Services for
    the city, said the city may make
    entirely new buildings for the
    units, or it may just refurbish old
    buildings. She also said the hous-
    ing will be geared more toward
    families, but thats not to say that
    students cant live there.
    Some students are families,
    Swarts said. That doesnt neces-
    sary preclude them.
    City council members raised a
    concern in the city commission
    meeting last week, saying that in a
    two-bedroom unit, four students
    may try to squeeze in to reduce
    rent. Swarts said that since these
    units are geared toward families,
    that idea hasnt been an issue.
    Rebecca Buford, execu-
    tive director for Tenants to
    Homeowners, said the organi-
    zation only owns land east of
    Massachusetts Street, making
    these properties farther from cam-
    pus and less likely to see a problem
    with students squeezing people in.
    She also said she hopes the
    families who rent these properties
    will own them; the goal of these
    properties is to help families make
    a transition into homeownership.
    When you talk about low-
    income housing, that freaks people
    out. It freaks neighbors out,
    Buford said. Were talking about
    workforce housing.
    Tenants in these proper-
    ties would have to meet certain
    income eligibility requirements.
    The tenants in one property will
    have to make 50 percent of the
    annual average income of Douglas
    County, while the other three
    properties will require tenants to
    make 80 percent of that number.
    The actual monetary value of
    those figures depends on how big
    the families are that rent the units.
    Buford said students are more
    than welcome to rent these prop-
    erties as well, as long as they meet
    the requirements. She also said the
    properties will be especially help-
    ful for recent graduates looking for
    a more permanent place to live.
    She said the first propertys
    construction could begin as early
    as March and be rentable by the
    summer.

    The vacant lot at 2123 Rhode Island is the future site for a housing project subsidized by the city. With the help of the organizationTenants to Homeowners, there are three other sites for the project that remain up in the air. While
    the project is geared more toward families, Margaret Swarts, assistant director for Development Services for the city, said it would be open to students as well.
    WHO: The City of Lawrence and Tenants to
    Homeowners
    WHAT: The city will build four low-income housing
    units.
    WHEN: Construction is expected to begin this spring,
    and units may be available to rent by the summer.
    WHERE: The frst site is a vacant lot at 2123 rhode Is-
    land. Three more units will be built at properties east
    of Massachussetts Street.
    WHY: The goal of the properties is to help families
    make a transition into ownership.
    COST: The project will be funded by a $475,000 grant.

    Dr. Marigold Linton, director
    of American Indian Outreach
    at the University of Kansas,
    was awarded the Presidential
    Award for Excellence in Science,
    Mathematics and Engineering
    Mentoring (PAESMEM).
    The White House established
    this award to recognize mentors
    who expand the participation
    of underrepresented groups in
    the sciences. According to the
    National Science Foundation, the
    awardees are those who serve
    as exemplars to their colleagues
    and are leaders in the national
    effort to more fully develop the
    Nations human resources in sci-
    ence, technology, engineering,
    and mathematics.
    Linton received the PAESMEM
    for creating a method to help sci-
    ence students at Haskell Indian
    Nations University make the
    transition to the University.
    Throughout the past 12 years,
    Linton has written grant pro-
    posals for the project that have
    resulted in $14 million in fund-
    ing.
    Lintons project receives
    grants from Bridges to
    Baccalaureate, Initiative for
    Maximizing Student Diversity
    (IMSD), Research Initiative for
    Scientific Enhancement (RISE),
    Post-Baccalaureate Research
    Education Program (PREP), and
    the Institutional Research and
    Academic Career Development
    A w a r d s
    (IRACDA).
    Because of
    these grants,
    Haskell stu-
    dents receive
    tutoring, skill
    e n h a n c e -
    ment and the
    opportunity to
    participate in
    research expe-
    riences in KU
    l abor at or i es .
    The grants also
    allow Haskell
    faculty to
    receive graduate training.
    The Post-Baccalaureate
    Research Education Program
    grant targets Haskell students
    who are not quite ready for grad-
    uate school and prepares them to
    succeed in grad school. Through
    this grant the students improve
    on writing and math skills,
    receive leadership training, and
    gain experience in a research
    mentors laboratory.
    At first, Linton worked with
    students and faculty, and wrote
    all of the proposals on her own.
    She now has 20 partners at both
    the University and Haskell who
    aid her in running the program.
    I continue
    to help devel-
    op the propos-
    als that fund
    the programs,
    she said.
    This year,
    11 winners of
    the PAESMEM
    w e r e
    a nnounc e d.
    Each of the
    a w a r d e e s
    will receive
    a $25,000
    grant that
    will benefit
    their projects, as well as a com-
    memorative presidential cer-
    tificate. The recipients traveled
    to Washington, D.C., and were
    presented the award. Each gave
    a presentation about their work
    and was given a tour of the west
    wing of the White House. Linton
    was able to invite four guests to
    the ceremony. She invited her
    husband, Dr. Robert Barnhill, as
    well as two of her colleagues,
    associate director of the
    Office for Diversity and Science
    Training Dr. Estela Gavosto
    and director of the Office for
    Diversity in Science Training Dr.
    James Orr.
    Dr. Linton is a very talented
    individual with a special talent
    for conceptualizing ideas for
    training students in the sciences.
    She is honest, direct, and a plea-
    sure to work with, Orr said.
    While in Washington, D.C.,
    Linton also had the opportunity
    to meet President Barack Obama
    and Vice President Joe Biden.
    As we walked down the cor-
    ridor to the Oval Office, Vice
    President Biden shook each of
    our hands in a very gracious
    way, Linton said. We were
    lined up and introduced to the
    President at the door of the Oval
    Office.
    The trip concluded on
    Thursday, Jan. 27, when Linton
    accepted the PAESMEM from
    the director of the National
    Science Foundation and the
    Presidents national science advi-
    sor, Dr.Subra Suresh.
    Linton returned to the KU and
    Haskell to continue the work she
    began years ago. She said she felt
    fortunate to have the opportu-
    nity to help her community.
    My heart is gladdened to see
    young people succeed, especially
    those who have had few advan-
    tages, she said. Every success,
    large or small, is something that
    I cherish.

    With a strong infuence
    of Chinese international students attending the University of Kansas, it
    is no surprise that a grand celebration was planned for this years New
    Year celebration. Since the Chinese have traditionally had a diferent
    method for computing the seasons and their calendar, the Chinese
    NewYear falls at a diferent time than Jan. 1. This years Chinese New
    Year was Feb. 3. The Chinese Students and Scholars Friendship Asso-
    ciation (CSSFA) celebrated in the Kansas Union on Saturday, Feb. 5 by
    having a talent show in Woodruf Auditorium. While the main event
    was mainly in Chinese, some events were also translated into English,
    as the crowd was open to everyone. Tickets to the showand the dinner
    that followed were able to be purchased the week before.

    Commentary
    Kansas
    smashes
    trends
    A
    warning to the opposition:
    your teams safe haven is
    no longer safe. Not with
    the Jayhawks who turn tendencies
    into dust.
    Kansas rolled into Lincoln,
    Neb., this weekend prepared to
    challenge, statistically speaking,
    the best defense in the Big 12
    Conference. Going into the game,
    Nebraska allowed 57.5 points per
    game to its opponents and was
    14-0 at home in the Bob Devaney
    Sports Center. But those statistics
    didnt include the Kansas outlier.
    The Jayhawks hardly showed up
    when coach Doc Sadler and his
    Cornhuskers visited Lawrence on
    Jan. 15. Kansas snuck away with a
    63-60 victory, but coach Bill Self
    said that Nebraska was the supe-
    rior team.
    On Saturday, Kansas was able
    to use its lackluster showing in
    January as a reference point for
    motivation. The result: an 86-66
    victory in Nebraskas house. Forget
    about stout defense and that clean
    slate at home.
    To score 80 points on a Doc-
    coached team in their building
    means you probably played pretty
    good offense, Self said.
    Kansas sunk shots whether they
    were wide open or contested. It just
    didnt matter; they were all drop-
    ping on Saturday. Senior guards
    Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed
    kept up with their prowess by the
    perimeter. Junior forward Markieff
    Morris punished defenders in the
    paint or behind the three-point
    line, where he drained all three
    of his attempts. Such a diverse
    and persistent attack dizzied the
    Cornhuskers.
    It was very frustrating because you
    work so hard to get back into it and
    then they make you pay, Nebraska
    senior guard Lance Jeter said.
    But trend-smashing is nothing
    new with this years team. The
    Jayhawks have routinely displaced
    their foes calling cards. Take the
    85-65 victory at Baylor on Jan. 17,
    for example.
    Less than two weeks after Baylor
    senior guard LaceDarius Dunn
    torched Morgan State with 43
    points, Kansas held him to just 13.
    You have to give Kansas a lot
    of credit for coming out and really
    punching us in the face, Baylor
    coach Scott Drew said.
    Then there was the 88-66 victory
    on Feb. 1 at Texas Tech. Despite
    the fact that the Red Raiders usu-
    ally hover in the bottom of the
    Big 12 standings, Self had never
    won in Lubbock, Texas. Then five
    Jayhawks posted double figures in
    scoring and Self had his victory at
    the United Sprint Arena.
    They were just dead like zom-
    bies, Texas Tech coach Pat Knight
    said of his players after the loss.
    These are the actions of a title
    contending team. The Jayhawks
    are punching people in the face,
    metaphorically speaking. Theyre
    making zombies out of basketball
    players. Sure, even the finest teams
    trip here and there on their paths
    to glory. But if the Jayhawks keep
    breaking their challengers back-
    bone, such as scoring 86 points
    against the defensive-centric
    Cornhuskers, they could stand atop
    the highest plateau.
    You cant control if the ball goes
    in or out, Nebraska junior guard
    Brandon Richardson said. You just
    have to leave it on the floor and at the
    end of the day live with the result.

    There are plenty of ways to
    describe Missouri: balanced,
    deep, fast, athletic, talented,
    uptempo. There are plenty of
    ways to describe Kansas, too:
    balanced, deep, fast, athletic,
    talented, uptempo.
    But theres more to it than
    that. The Jayhawks have a
    way of adjusting to the tempo
    of whatever team they play.
    Because of the variance of their
    depth Kansas has half-court
    guards like Tyrel Reed and
    Brady Morningstar and pres-
    sure guys like Tyshawn Taylor
    and Josh Selby, who is doubtful
    for Monday they can play
    at any tempo and be relatively
    comfortable doing so.
    We know Tyshawns our
    fast point
    g u a r d ,
    M a r c u s
    Morris said
    about the
    d i f f e r e nt
    abilities of
    the guards.
    I think of
    Brady as
    our more
    subtle, get open shots point
    guard. Hes a smart player.
    The Tigers, on the other
    hand, are built for speed, and
    they are at their best when
    theyre running. Statistically,
    eight of their nine worst offen-
    sive performances have come
    when they play a slower-than-
    average game for them. Their
    average, for comparisons sake,
    is almost three possessions
    per game faster than anyone
    else in the conference, and
    nine possessions faster than
    the Jayhawks last opponent,
    Nebraska.
    The Jayhawks played bril-
    liantly against Nebraskas suf-
    focating defense and snails
    tempo, led by Morningstars 19
    points and six assists.
    Offensively, thats as good
    as we can execute, Bill Self
    said after the victory.
    Taylor may be more suited
    to run with the Tigers, though,
    considering that hes the
    Jayhawks fast point guard.
    But the Jayhawks wont have a
    problem with running. Bill Self
    said theyd like it even more.
    This is going to be a fun
    game, Self said, because both
    teams play fast. We always
    want to play fast. Its going to
    be a game with a lot of posses-
    sions, and the kids love playing
    in games like that.
    The biggest concern for Self
    and the Jayhawks, though,
    is the transition game that
    Missouri loves so much.
    Coach talks about that all
    the time, Taylor said, how
    bad we are at it.
    Its not
    that Kansas
    lacks the
    pers onnel ,
    Self insists,
    but that the
    players, for
    some rea-
    son, arent
    making the
    plays. The
    safe money is on the problem
    that Self identified early in the
    season Kansas guards, par-
    ticularly Taylor and Selby, are
    wild.
    Were all out of control,
    Self said. We run over peo-
    ple more than any team in
    the country probably. I think
    against K-State they attempt-
    ed seven charges in transition
    and got four or five of them.
    It wasnt just Josh (Selby), it
    was everybody, we have to do
    a better job of staying under
    control.

    AUSTIN, Texas Sophomore
    guard Angel Goodrich broke
    her career assists record against
    Texas on Saturday with 14 assists,
    allowing access for the Jayhawks
    in the paint.
    She played awesome tonight,
    sophomore forward Carolyn
    Davis said. She was being
    aggressive and drawing defense
    and then dropping the ball down
    low.
    Goodrichs help was not
    enough for the Jayhawks, who fell
    behind in nearly every other stat,
    from free throws to rebounds.
    Kansas fell 80-68 to Texas in
    Austin, dropping to 15-8 in the
    season and 2-7 in conference
    play.
    Davis led Kansas with 18 points
    on 8-11 shooting. She added six
    rebounds in only 20 minutes of
    play. Sophomore guard Monica
    Engelman and junior forward
    Aishah Sutherland joined Davis
    in double figures with 10 and 12
    points, respectively.
    The Jayhawks faced foul trou-
    ble early and ended up recording
    23 fouls for the game. Davis said
    most of the fouls were because of
    little mistakes.
    We were not being smart and
    disciplined, Davis said.
    Senior guard Marisha
    Brown fouled out, while Davis
    and senior forward Krysten
    Boogaard ended the game with
    four fouls apiece.
    The Longhorns shot 18-24
    from the free-throw line, which
    allowed them to keep the
    Jayhawks at a distance, only
    shooting 6-12. They also found
    success from beyond the arc, hit-
    ting eight 3-pointers compared
    with four by Kansas.
    The Jayhawks were out-
    rebounded 44-33 during the
    game, highlighted by a 17-9
    differential on the offensive
    boards.
    They were going to the boards
    hard and we werent matching
    their intensity, Davis said.
    Kansas will return home in a
    couple days to practice before
    hosting Iowa State on Wednesday
    at 7 p.m.
    Despite the loss, Davis is still
    positive about the games to
    come this season.
    We still have a lot of confi-
    dence in ourselves, Davis said.
    We are just going to try to keep
    moving forward.

    O
    n the eve of the biggest game in
    KU basketball, I would like to
    talk about hockey. While most
    people are focused on the game Bill Self and
    his players have to win tonight, many people
    missed another contest. Last Thursday the
    Independence Center was the home of the
    Border Showdown On Ice.
    My main experience with hockey up to last
    week was the movie Miracle and watching
    the Florida Panthers with my dad when I
    was three. All I remember is that everything
    smelled funny and they had really good ice
    cream. But last Thursday I made the drive to
    Independence, Mo., to check out the KU-MU
    hockey game. Why? Because I wanted to see
    people hit each other.
    I mean, hockey is supposed to be the sport
    where tough guys are tough guys. They are
    supposed to slam each other into walls and no
    player is supposed to have a full set of teeth.
    I figured that if the fans at the KU-MU game
    got into some knock-out brawls, these hockey
    players would be pretty fun to watch.
    The Independence Center was a little far
    from packed, but quite a few fans did show up
    dressed up in their teams colors.
    When the teams skated onto the ice KU
    fans cheered for the Jayhawks and booed the
    players dressed in black and gold, and the MU
    fans did the same for their teams. It felt like a
    good old-fashioned border war.
    And the players noticed it too.
    When they step on the ice its a big deal,
    coach Tom Pendergast said. When they step
    on the ice in front of an arch rival its huge.
    The emotions carried the University of
    Kansas to a 2-0 lead and Jayhawk fans were
    rocking. There were signs and chants. The
    players seemed to enjoy their larger audience.
    It kind of pumps you up, Freshman Schilar
    Kessler said.
    At this point I realized that hockey was
    kind of elegant. When the players werent
    slamming into each other on the ice, with
    padded guys carrying around big sticks.I
    knew, somewhere in the back of my mind,
    that hockey was a little more than an all out
    brute fest, but I never really saw it illustrated
    in person.
    While I was envisioning the hockey players
    skating to a beefed up version of Swan Lake,
    Missouri scored two goals and it was a tied
    game. It was then that hockey turned into
    hockey. KU players started to slam MU down
    like the Lawrence burning thugs that they
    were (or their ancestors were). There were
    fights and people getting put in the penalty
    box. At the end of the game I wasnt going to
    scan the ice for missing teeth.
    Unfortunately for KU fans, Missouri beat
    Kansas. They scored two more unanswered
    goals that gave them the 4-2 win.
    When the players walked passed me on
    the way to the locker room, with their heads
    hung and tired eyes, I realized that this loss,
    to them, was like losing to Missouri at home
    tonight. This was their big game and they let a
    two-point lead slip away from them.
    We look forward to this game all year,
    both teams do, Senior forward Price Duncan
    said.
    Unfortunately for the seniors this was their
    last opportunity, pending a playoff match to
    beat Missouri players to a pulp, but the rest
    of the team will only have to wait a year for
    their chance.

    Emotions during the final swim
    meet of the year were running
    high before the competition even
    began. With blown up pictures of
    Joy Bunting, Iuliia Kuzhil, Alyssa
    Potter, Brittany Potter and Amanda
    Maez on the wall behind the start-
    ing blocks, Friday night at the
    Robinson Center opened up with
    the Kansas swimming and diving
    team honoring its five departing
    seniors. The team then went on to
    take a 116-34 lead over the Iowa
    State Cyclones to end the first half
    of the competition.
    The Jayhawks did not lose an
    event on the first day of competi-
    tion, and sophomore diver Christy
    Cash experienced her career
    moment when she set a new per-
    sonal high score of 261.45 in the
    3-meter dive.
    With their victory Saturday
    against the
    Cyclones, the
    Jayhawks con-
    tinued their
    recent streak
    of success, giv-
    ing them seven
    wins in their
    last eight meets.
    However, coach
    Clark Campbell
    had a more
    direct focus when it came to the
    meet against Iowa State.
    The meet today is all about the
    seniors, Campbell said.
    Team captain Bunting contrib-
    uted four victories to the Jayhawks,
    and Kuzhil had three wins, which
    helped the Jayhawks beat the
    Cyclones 195-99. The Jayhawks
    would win all of the events.
    Our distance group, they did
    a lot better job, but our sprinters
    were not here today. Campbell said
    after the meet.
    Campbell attributed the short-
    distance swimmers poor per-
    formance to not getting a good
    warm-up before the meet.
    When the meet finished, it
    ended an era of swimming for
    the five seniors, all of whom were
    saddened that they would never
    swim again in Robinson for the
    University. When youre with
    these girls for four years, its hard
    to say goodbye, Bunting said. Its
    such an intimate sport.When you
    get your butts kicked with each
    other every single day, you make a
    special bond with each other.
    Coach Campbell said he will
    also have a hard time saying good-
    bye to his senior class.
    Ive been coaching for 18 years,
    and this is one of the best senior
    classes Ive ever had the pleasure of
    working with, Campbell said. All
    five of them brought something
    unique and different to the pro-
    gram to make
    it a lot better.
    Ill miss all of
    them in differ-
    ent ways, Joy
    Bunting for her
    leadership, the
    Potters are very
    hard work-
    ers and good
    t e a mma t e s ,
    Amanda Maez
    has improved so much, and Iuliia
    is probably arguably one of the top
    two or three swimmers that has
    ever been at KU.
    The Kansas swimming and
    diving team has the Big 12
    Championships up next, and to
    prepare, Campbell is going to
    gradually reduce the intensity of
    the practices before the February
    23 meet in Austin, Texas.

    Sophomore thrower Mason
    Finley paced the Kansas track and
    field team in the New Balance
    Collegiate Invitational at the
    Armory Track & Field Center in
    New York, N.Y., where his meet
    record throw in the shot put
    marked one of numerous personal
    bests set by Jayhawks in their first
    road meet of the season. The mens
    team placed 12th out of 41 teams,
    and the women finished ninth out
    of 42 teams.
    Finley won the shot put with a

    of the 3,000-meter run, placing
    second and clocking a personal
    best of 9:46.11.
    The women pole vaulters and
    jumpers had a solid meet, as senior
    Jaci Perryman placed fifth in the
    championship division of the pole
    vault and set a personal best by
    clearing 13 feet, 5.5 inches. In
    the college division, seniors Abby

    tors. In the championship divi-
    sion of the long jump, sophomore
    Francine Simpson claimed fourth
    place with a personal best jump
    of 20 feet, 5 inches. Sophomore

    division of the same event, jump-
    ing 19 feet, 1.5 inches.And in the
    womens triple jump, sophomore

    season best of 42 feet, 2.25 inches.
    On the mens side, senior Keron
    Toussaint placed fourth in the
    championship division of the
    500-meter dash, with freshman
    Dominique Manley finishing 10th.
    In the college division of the 800-
    meter run, freshman Dalen Fink
    placed fourth, freshman Brendan
    Soucie placed 20th, and freshman

    of 1:54.36, 1:55.45 and 1:55.50,
    respectively.
    In the college division of the
    mens mile, freshman Josh Munsch
    set a personal best by running
    a 4:12.67, good for eighth place.
    Two Jayhawks competed in the
    college division of the mens pole
    vault, and both found success.
    Freshman Alex Bishop placed sec-
    ond, and senior Cooper Merrill
    placed sixth.
    The mens 4x400 meter relay and
    distance medley relay team both
    set a season best, with the 4x400
    team of sophomore Kyle Clemons,
    freshman Dominique Manley,
    Pieter Marx and Toussaint plac-
    ing sixth with a time of 3:12.39.
    The distance medley relay team
    of Fink, Marx, Munsch and junior
    Donny Wasinger ran a 10:06.57,
    good for ninth place.
    Along with Finley breaking
    the meets shot put record, junior
    thrower Joel Krause set a personal
    best with a throw of 52 feet, 5
    inches, good for 16th place. Senior
    Brian Bishop was close behind
    him in 18th place.

    ARLINGTON, Texas Forget
    Lombardi on Broadway. Green Bay
    has the newest Super Bowl hit:
    Aaron Rodgers.
    Capping one of the greatest
    postseasons for any quarterback,
    Rodgers led the Packers to their
    first NFL championship in 14 years
    Sunday, 31-25 over the Pittsburgh
    Steelers. The Packers reclaimed the
    Vince Lombardi Trophy, named for
    their legendary coach who won
    the first two Super Bowls and is
    making his own star turn in New
    York these days in the play named
    after him.
    Rodgers, the games MVP,
    thrilled his legion of Cheesehead
    fans with a spectacular six-game
    string that should finally erase the
    bitterness of the Brett Favre separa-
    tion in Green Bay. Hes now equal
    with Favre in Super Bowl wins, and
    he extended the Packers record of
    NFL titles to 13, nine before the
    Super Bowl era.
    Its what I dreamt about as a
    little kid watching Joe Montana and
    Steve Young, Rodgers said, and
    we just won the Super Bowl.
    The Packers QB threw for three
    touchdowns, two to Greg Jennings,
    and the Packers (14-6) overcame
    even more injuries, building a 21-3
    lead, then hanging on to become
    the second No. 6 seed to win the
    championship. Coincidentally, the
    2005 Steelers were the other.
    Rodgers threw for 304 yards,
    including a 29-yard touchdown
    to Jordy Nelson, who had nine
    catches for 140 yards to make up
    for three big drops. Rodgers found
    Jennings, normally his favorite
    target, for 21- and 8-yard scores.
    Then the favored Packers held
    on as Pittsburgh (14-5) stormed
    back.
    Weve been a team thats over-
    come adversity all year, Jennings
    said, who noted injuries to Charles
    Woodson and Donald Driver.
    Few teams have been as
    resourceful as these Packers, who
    couldnt wait to touch the trophy
    honoring their greatest coach
    and their title. Several of them
    kissed it as Cowboys great Roger
    Staubach walked through a line of
    green and gold.
    Vince Lombardi is coming back
    to Green Bay, NFL Commissioner
    Roger Goodell said.

    Quote of the Game
    First Half
    12:52: Markief Morris hits two three-pointers at the top of the arc.
    The second one forces Nebraska coach Doc Sadler to take a timeout.
    (20-10)

    8:03: Marcus Morris misses everything on a three, but Thomas rob-
    inson is right there for the rebound and a two-handed slam. (27-21)

    1:00: Tyrel reed gives Kansas another 10-point lead with a three-
    pointer from the corner. (42-32)

    Second Half
    16:21: Morningstar connects on another three. He is 4-5 from down-
    town with 14 points. (50-41)

    7:07: Tyshawn Taylor feeds Marcus Morris for the dunk. Kansas hits
    70 points, which means Kansas has a good chance of winning. When
    Nebraska opponents score 70 points, it is 0-2 on the year. (70-56)

    Ofensively, thats as good as we can execute.
    Bill Self
    Brady Morningstar
    In two of the last three games, a Jayhawk has had the
    best performance of his career and made this part
    of my job really easy. Thomas robinsons 19-point,
    seven-rebound efort against Kansas State, with
    everything going on in his personal life, was the frst
    one. Morningstars 19-point, six-assist, zero-turnover
    performance Saturday was the second. Morningstar
    has scored more one other time in his career, but that
    was against Coppin State, who doesnt defend quite like Nebraska.
    Elijah Johnson
    With Josh Selby out of the lineup, Johnson got a
    chance to fght his way back into the rotation as a
    one-game fll-in. Johnson went 1-for-4 from the feld
    for two points and an assist to go along with three
    boards in 14 minutes. It looks like hell have one
    more opportunity to fnd a rhythm against Missouri
    Monday, but if he doesnt produce, hell be reduced
    to a spot minutes role.

    LINCOLN, Neb. Kansas
    and Nebraska played at Bob
    Devany Sports Center for
    the last time as members
    of the Big 12 Conference.
    Kansas defeated Nebraska
    86-66, but were not led by
    the Morris twins.
    The two combined for
    33 points on 11-13 shoot-
    ing. Both misses were three-
    pointers by junior forward
    Marcus Morris. The Morris
    success came in large part from
    the shooting and passing of senior
    guard Brady Morningstar, who
    had his best statistical game of the
    season.
    Hes shooting with a lot of
    confidence, Marcus said.
    Confidence is the reason Marcus
    and Markieff have been successful
    this season. The two are averag-
    ing 16.7 points per game and 60.1
    percent from the field, and 13.1
    points per game and 58.7 percent
    from the field, respectively.
    The biggest downfall for the
    two is their free-throw numbers.
    The two are a combined 66.5
    percent from the line. Success in
    the postseason could be make
    or break depending on the free-
    throw shooting, especially from
    these two because of how many
    touches they have down low.
    I got to get back to work shoot-
    ing on my free-throws, Marcus
    said.
    He attributed the missed free-
    throws to the ball. He said the
    Adidas ball is smaller and hard-
    er to grip than the Wilson ball
    Kansas uses. He said it was harder
    to put the ball in the basket even
    though he went 5-7, Markieff went
    6-6 and Morningstar went 5-7.
    Marcus agreed with coach Bill
    Self, who said this was some of the
    best offensive play from the team.
    Morris said the team could do
    better offensively with freshman
    guard Josh Selby, who sat with a
    stress reaction in his right foot.
    Self said sitting Selby was due to
    precautionary reasons. He said he
    thought Morningstar did a good
    job of stepping up in the starting
    roll.
    I really dont expect much of a
    drop off even though I know our
    best players have to play, Self said.
    I think we have a bunch of best
    players.
    Self said it would be difficult to
    lose Marcus and Markieff.
    Self said the two are the best
    passers and that when they pass
    well, the rest of the team does as
    well.
    I think they demand a lot of
    attention, which opens up things
    for everybody else, junior guard
    Tyshawn Taylor said.

    Junior forward Markief Morris puts up a basket against the Huskers on Saturday afternoon in Bob Devaney Sports Center at Lincoln, Neb. Morris shot a perfect 6-6 and 3-3 fromthe arch scoring a total
    of 17 points against the Huskers.

    To say Kansas shot the ball
    well against Nebraska Saturday is
    an understatement. The Jay-
    hawks had an efective feld goal
    percentage of 70 percent, easily
    their best of the season. Efective
    feld goal percentage counts three
    pointers made as 150 percent as
    valuable as a two-point feld goal,
    because three pointers are, of
    course, worth half-again as many
    points. By the more common mea-
    sures, Kansas was no less impres-
    sive. The Jayhawks hit 55.6 percent
    of their shots and a season-high
    13 threes on 54.2 percent shoot-
    ing from outside. If the Jayhawks
    can average the same points per
    possession (1.25, eighth best on
    the season), and adjust to Mis-
    souris much quicker pace, theyd
    score 93 points Monday night.
    senior
    gaurd,
    Brady Morn-
    ingstar
    Where did
    this come
    from? Morn-
    ingstar actually
    had an ofen-
    sive rating double that of Marcus
    Morris Saturday, and Morris was
    no slouch. Morningstar played a
    season-high 37 minutes and could
    barely miss, hitting 5-of-7 seven
    shots, all of them from behind the
    arc. He was efective from the free
    throw line as well, hitting 4-of-5
    from there. Tack on his six assists
    and zero turnovers, and Morning-
    star played a near-perfect game
    on the ofensive side of the ball.
    Even if Selby is available to play,
    Morningstar may get the nod over
    him if he is not at 100 percent.
    Theres no doubt Morningstar has
    earned more minutes with his re-
    cent play the question is whose
    minutes he has earned.
    How will Kansas handle Mis-
    souris balance?
    That question needs some ex-
    plaining. After all, Bill Self has said
    several times that hes got seven
    or eight guys that play at the level
    of starters. But Kansas is like most
    teams in that there are a handful
    of players who can be reason-
    ably expected to take the shot at
    the end of each possession. On
    Kansas, its the three posts the
    twins and Thomas Robinson
    and Josh Selby who use the most
    possessions. They all use at least
    24 percent of the possessions
    that they are a part of. Missouri is
    much more balanced in that they
    have zero players using 24 percent
    of their possessions, but eight
    players using anywhere from 19 to
    24 percent. What that boils down
    to is that Kansas cannot aford to
    key on one player, because there
    are seven more waiting to fll their
    shoes.
    Theyre like little gnats that
    wont leave the kitchen when you
    leave the dishes in there.
    Marcus Morris on Missouri

    missouri
    18-5, (4-4)
    starters
    Matt Pressey, 6-foot-2 junior 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 ofensive end.

    Kim English, 6-foot-6 junior 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.

    Marcus Denmon, 6-foot-3 junior guard


    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 Sin-
    gletary. 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 tonight. The
    Red Raiders cant aford to lose Lewandowski
    because of foul trouble. He has fouled out
    three times this season; tonight might be
    four if the Morris twins and Robinson take it
    to him.

    Ricardo Ratlife, 6-foot-8 junior forward


    Ratlife has been a monster on the glass
    for the Tigers. He leads the team with 6.8
    rebounds per game. He is huge on the defe-
    nisive end, blocking 35 shots on the season.
    He, however, has fouled out three times this
    season. He will need to be careful guard-
    ing the Morris twins and Thomas Robinson
    who are bigger and more athletic. If he isnt
    careful he will become best friends with the
    bench. He is second on the team scoring 11.7
    points per game.

    Laurence Bowers, 6-foot-8 junior for-


    ward
    Bowers is one of fve players averaging
    double digits per game. He is fourth with
    10.7 points per game. He is second in re-
    bounding and leads the team with 49 blocks.
    Like Ratlife, Bowers commits a lot of fouls. He
    has 67 on the season with two foul outs. If he
    isnt careful, he may be joining Ratlife. The
    Tigers may have to call on junior center
    Steve Moore who has 21 blocks, but is
    only averaging 11.9 minutes per game.
    Bowers and Ratlife each average more
    than 24 minutes.
    KaNsas
    22-1, (7-1)
    starters
    Tyshawn Taylor, guard
    Taylor isnt scoring like he used to lately
    in his last two, hes averaging just three
    points per game but hes still one of the
    best assist men in the conference. Even
    though his numbers have dipped a little
    bit, its been in conjunction with better play
    from the guards around him and smarter
    play on his part. Hes turned the ball over
    just six times in the last fve games while
    amassing 20 assists.

    Tyrel Reed, guard


    It appears that Reed found his stroke
    against Nebraska, hitting 50 percent of his
    threes en route to 14 points. Reeds also a
    solid rebounder, especially considering that
    he is undersized for his position. Of Kansas
    six guards (including Travis Releford) Reed
    is by far the best rebounder, with 70 on the
    season compared to second-place Tyshawn
    Taylors 44. Josh Selby is averaging a similar
    clip, but missed the frst nine games.

    Josh Selby, guard


    Selby is ofcially doubtfull, but as often as
    hes been described as a tough kid, its hard
    to believe hed miss his frst shot at Missouri
    and guard Kim English, who he called a big
    brother to him. But as anyone with a big
    brother knows, theres nothing sweeter than
    taking him down. Selby said he and English
    havent talked about the game: And Im not
    sure we will.

    Marcus Morris, forward


    Morris, true to his season-long form,
    didnt need a lot of shots to be efective
    against the Cornhuskers on Saturday. In
    conference play, hes taken 10 or more shots
    in only half the games, but hes still scored
    in double fgures in all eight. Saturday he
    was 5-of-7 from the feld with both misses
    coming from outside the three-point line.
    He fnished with 16 points, in part because
    he got to the free throw line more times
    than in any game since the conference
    opener.

    Markief Morris, forward


    Morris, true to his season-long form,
    didnt need a lot of shots to be efective
    against the Cornhuskers on Saturday. In
    conference play, hes taken 10 or more
    shots in only half the games, but hes still
    scored in double fgures in all eight. Satur-
    day he was 5-of-7 from the feld with both
    misses coming from outside the three-
    point line. He fnished with 16 points, in
    part because he got to the free throw line
    more times than in any game since the
    conference opener.

    Missouri avenged its 89-76 loss
    to Colorado in Boulder earlier this
    season, by defeating the Bufaloes
    on Saturday 89-73 in Columbia. The
    Tigers are currently tied for fourth
    place in the Big 12 with Texas A&M
    and Oklahoma with a 4-4 record.
    Missouri is winning their games
    at home, which it should, but it is
    winless on the road. Missouri likes
    to play a fast, up-tempo game that
    fts well into what Kansas likes to
    do. Coach Mike Andersons style
    of defense is to pressure its oppo-
    nents and try to force turnovers.
    Kansas has had success against
    Missouri, especially at Allen Field-
    house, when Missouri tries the full-
    court press.
    Senior forward Justin Saford
    A season ago Saford was start-
    ing for the Ti-
    gers. He is one
    of two seniors
    on the team,
    but is the only
    one that sees
    playing time.
    This season, he
    has only started
    in 11 of the 23 games for Mis-
    souri. He is averaging 6.8 points
    per game on 40.7 percent shoot-
    ing. He is averaging 4.4 rebounds
    per game. Saford only played six
    minutes against Colorado and
    was inefective. Missouri may call
    upon Saford for senior leadership,
    because this will be his fnal time
    playing at Allen Fieldhouse. Last
    season in Missouris matchup with
    Kansas in Lawrence, Saford led
    the Tigers in scoring with 19 points
    in 32 minutes.
    Can Missouri get it done on
    the road?
    Missouri has one quality win on
    the road: at Oregon; that game was
    also the only true road test for the
    Tigers before conference play. Mis-
    souri lost to Georgetown at the
    Sprint Center in overtime 111-102
    and defeated then ranked No. 22 Il-
    linois at the Scottrade Center in St.
    Louis 75-64. Missouri is 0-4 on the
    road in conference play with losses
    in Boulder, Colo., College Station,
    Texas, Austin, Texas, and Stillwater,
    Oklahoma. The loss to Texas A&M
    in College Station was a 91-89 loss
    in overtime. The Aggies are 1-2 in
    their last three games at home. The
    Longhorns are perfect in Austin
    during conference play and Colora-
    do is 3-1 at home, with its only loss
    being to Kansas. Missouri might be
    a better team, but Bill Self calls Al-
    len Fieldhouse a legitimate sixth
    man. Missouri falls to 0-5 on the
    road and 4-5 in conference, giving
    them a steep uphill climb to the Big
    12 title, with a lot of things needing
    to go wrong at the top of the con-
    ference.
    Unfortunately, English said.
    We can do it, we just have to do
    it consistently.

    ALLEN FiELDHOuSE WiLL ROCK iF
    Missouri steps on the court. There is, of course, no love lost between
    the Jayhawks and Tigers, and the environment is always one of the
    best of the season at Allen. For it to stay rocking, though, the Morrii
    and Thomas Robinson will need to continue to play at a high level.
    Missouri has one of the most athletic frontcourts in the country.
    THE TiGERS WiLL ROAR iF
    Marcus Denmon gets in a groove. Denmon is the most efcient player
    in the Big 12 that uses at least 20 percent of his possessions, just in
    front of Marcus Morris. Hes also got enough balance around him (see
    the Question Mark section to the left) that if he goes of, there will be
    enough role scoring to pose the Jayhawks a serious threat.
    Prediction:
    Kansas 84, Missouri 66
