The members of Lawrence Fair Food, like
many groups on campus this time of year,
have a table on Wescoe Beach. But theyre
not asking for your vote theyre asking for
your support.
Theyre quick to stress that theyre not
a charity group. They are fighting not for,
but with, people who they say are cheated
out of livable wages: the tomato-pickers in
Immokalee, Fla.
Were not helping them, said Parendi
Birdie, a freshman from Lawrence. Its not
charity. Its solidarity.
Immokalee is home to a large number of
Hispanic, Haitian and Mayan Indian immi-
grants working as low-wage harvesters in
the region, which produces a large portion
of the countrys tomatoes. The Coalition
of Immokalee Workers, or CIW, fights to
improve the harvesters working conditions.
Lawrence Fair Food is a group of students
and members of the Lawrence community.
Its part of a larger, nationwide organization
known as the Student/Farmworker Alliance,
or SFA, which works in partnership with the
CIW.
The things were doing are the things that
are being done all around the United States,
Birdie said. We really are working in soli-
darity with the CIW. Were doing whatever
theyre doing.
According to the CIW, workers receive
around 45 cents for every 32-pound bucket
of tomatoes they pick. On average, they
pick 61 buckets of tomatoes a day, earn-
ing an average daily wage of $27. To make
minimum wage, the workers would have
to pick 2.5 tons of tomatoes per day for a
10-hour workday. That would mean picking
32 pounds of tomatoes every two minutes
for 10 hours.
Lawrence Fair Food is joining the SFA and
CIW in a campaign against Kroger, one of
the largest grocers in the nation, which owns
retailers such as Dillons. For this campaign,
the SFA and CIW are presenting a list of
requests to the company, including paying
farmworkers a penny more per pound of
tomatoes harvested. The last time the wage
per bucket for farmworkers was significantly
changed was in 1978. According to the CIW,
if the wage rate changed with inflation, work-
ers would be earning 92 cents per bucket,
According to the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, one farmworker must pick about 12,000 7-ounce tomatoes to earn minimum wage for a 10-hour workday. This is what 12,000 tomatoes would look like.
Students and tomato harvesters unite
for better wages, working conditions

When Cameron Bryant stepped
into his Math 121 class in January,
he noticed there were more stu-
dents than desks.
It was a pretty big class, said
Bryant, a freshman from Baldwin
City. There werent enough seats
for everyone.
This is Bryants second go-
round in Math 121, and although
he said several students dropped
the course this semester, the initial
class was bigger than the one he
took last fall.
In the past 15 months, $37.3 mil-
lion was cut from the Universitys
budget. Because of this, the
University has eliminated 200 posi-
tions, including 55 faculty posi-
tions. With 75 fewer course sec-
tions being offered, class sizes have
increased.
Students are seeing the effects
of the state budget cuts when
they go to enroll and when they
go to class, Deputy Director of
University Communications Jack
Martin said in an e-mail.
For instance, the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences cut seven
English 101 sections and did not
open three Chemistry 184 lab sec-
tions that were scheduled last fall.
That created long waiting lists for
students who needed to enroll.
Rob Weaver, associate dean
of CLAS, said that although the
College ultimately was able to
accommodate almost everyone, as
many as 60 students were on a
wait list for the Chemistry 184 lab
section.
There were some uncomfort-
able times for students waiting to
get into class, he said.
An increase in demand and the
inability to open more sections has
also resulted in larger class sizes
for several Math 121 and Math 122
sections, Weaver said. For example,
the department prefers to keep cal-
culus courses at 35 students or
fewer, but last fall several sections
had as many as 42 students.

is driving only a few blocks away
from her home, hears the pop of
her tire and feels her car go out

Byrd, a senior from Memphis,
was driving near 24th and

when the familiar potholes finally
got the best of her.
I was really upset, Byrd said.
I probably did yell Oh shit quite

The University has begun
an independent review of the
Athletics Ticket Office and the
Williams Educational Fund, the
fundraising branch of the depart-
ment.
Concerns have been raised
about these areas, Athletics
Director Lew Perkins said in a
press release. Due to the nature
of these concerns, and to pro-
tect KUs reputation, we think a
review is very appropriate. Kansas
Athletics pledges total coopera-
tion with this review.
Other media outlets have
reported that a federal investiga-
tion is underway concerning the
possibility of illegal sales of mens
basketball tickets.
We have asked outside enti-
ties to conduct a thorough and
exhaustive review, Chancellor
Bernadette Gray-Little said. I
anticipate that this will include
a comprehensive audit of both
offices. I am confident that Lew,
if and when appropriate, will take
swift action on the basis of the
outcome of those reviews.
The investigation comes two
weeks after Perkins put Rodney
Jones, associate director of the
Williams Educational Fund, on
administrative leave. Jones was
a box office manager before
his position with the Williams
Educational Fund.
Associate Athletics Director
Jim Marchiony said the depart-
ment had no further comment at
this time.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. In the hours
after a monkey on the lam fell into a
womans pool and then swiped some fruit
from her backyard tree, fans of the wily
primate praised it for avoiding capture.
Its something that you can kind of
cheer for, said Amy Ellis, a Pasco County
employee who has become a fan of the
monkey on Facebook. Every day theres
so much bad news. Hes kind of like a
little hero.
The rhesus macaque monkey has
avoided capture for nearly a year.
Authorities dont know where the animal
came from, but some believe it could
have gotten separated from a troupe of
wild monkeys in an Ocala-area state park,
some 118 miles north of St. Petersburg.
Another possibility: the animal could
have escaped from an owner who doesnt
have a permit and is therefore not regis-
tered with authorities.
The monkey was even featured two
weeks ago on The Colbert Report with
host Stephen Colbert poking fun at the
creature, who has been shot numer-
ous times with tranquilizers, apparently
unfazed.
Wildlife trapper Vernon Yates has
tracked the monkey through three coun-
ties, and heard reports of it rummaging
through trash bins, scaling the wall of
an apartment complex and even hanging
out by a pool behind a foreclosed home.
He is an extremely intelligent mon-
key, Yates said. He is very, very street-
wise. He knows to check traffic. He
knows to look both ways so he doesnt
get hit by cars. He knows to stay out of
power lines.
Yates said he worried that someone
will shoot or kill the monkey. If he catch-
es it, Yates will have the animal tested for
disease. If negative, the trapper will try to
find the monkey a home, likely a private
individual who has a permit to care for
exotic wildlife.
State wildlife officials are also serious
about catching the evasive primate.
That animal is so much quicker and
more powerful than people perceive,
said Gary Morse, a spokesman for the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission.
Morse said monkeys can harbor com-
municable diseases, such as hepatitis and
herpes, and can become aggressive if
cornered.
On Sunday, St. Petersburg resident
Renee Barth got a laugh when she spot-
ted the monkey swinging from a tree in
her pool enclosure. She managed to get
a photo then watched it fall into her
pool.
Barth said the monkey climbed out,
then took off with some grapefruit.

The SFA and CIW will par-
ticipate in a freedom march from
Tampa, Fla., to Lakeland, Fla., in
April. Members of Lawrence Fair
Food will be attending the march.
To raise the funds to participate,
Lawrence Fair Food and KU Latin
American Solidarity will be host-
ing a Latin American Food Festival
tonight from 6 to 10 p.m. at the
ECM. All of the proceeds from
the event will go toward sending
members of Lawrence Fair Food
to the march.
The work were doing is signifi-
cant and necessary, said Ashley
Depenbusch, a 2008 graduate and
KU alumna who will be attending
the march in April. The role we
play is powerful. It seems remote,
but it really is immediate. Its on
our tables. Its in our stores. This is
something that makes them visible
human beings.
A large portion of the tomatoes
we eat come from the Immokalee
area, said Shona
Clarkson, a
member of the
CIW.
The CIW has
won the agree-
ment of several
corporations to
start enforcing
codes of conduct
against abuses
in their tomato
supply chains.
Clarkson said
that organiz-
ing locally had
played a big role in the large strides
the CIW has made.
Its really strategic to get stu-
dents involved, said Clarkson, a
junior from St. Louis. In order to
get real change, you cant just get to
the growers. You have to talk to the
people buying the tomatoes.
Burger King, Taco Bell,
McDonalds, Subway and Whole
Foods are among
corporations that
have already agreed
to call for improved
working condi-
tions and wages for
farmworkers.
Gerardo Reyes,
a founding mem-
ber of the CIW,
will be presenting
at the Food Festival
tonight. Reyes will
also speak at a rally
on Friday after-
noon at the Burge

After bumming a ride from a
friend, waiting for a tow truck,
going to the repair shop and
waiting for the repair, Byrds Oh
shit moment ended up taking
$80 out of her pocket.
Byrds experience represents a
familiar scene to the thousands
of drivers who dodge potholes
each day in Lawrence.
In January and February alone,
the city patched 10,256 potholes.
Thats just 2,642 shy of the total
number of potholes repaired in
all of 2009.
Mark Thiel, assistant director
of Public Works, attributed the
increase primarily to the extreme
winter, saying that Lawrence has
had almost 36 inches of snow
blanket its roads, not including
the most recent
snowfall.
To help with
this added work-
load, the city
moved some
funds Tuesday to
help patch more
streets.
Now the city
will shift $400,000
from the $850,000
planned to repair
Kasold Drive to
projects on Iowa,
Louisiana, Sixth and 31st streets.
The city will also move $581,616
from the pavement maintenance
program which is $4.7 million
annually toward repairs on a
number of residential streets.
Thiel said a little more than
500 potholes had been reported
to the citys pothole report form
online at lawrenceks.org/pub-
lic_works/pothole_report_form,
which is a pretty good indicator
of how many are reported from
the public. He also said people
could report potholes by phone
and e-mail. Thiel said these
methods meant that the majority
of potholes were found.
He said that in the winter, the
city might have as many as four
or five crews out patching and
that at least one crew worked
year-round.
Thiel said that through January
and February of this year the
department had spent $115,000
on pothole repairs, an increase
from previous years. The city
doesnt budget specifically for
potholes, but it does have a pave-
ment program budget and $4
million street operation budget
that funds salaries and materials
such as salt, sand and asphalt.
Thiel said the repairs from the
past winter took away money the
department could have used for
permanent repairs in the sum-
mer.
The city is now adding a fresh
layer of asphalt on certain road-
ways instead of patching pot-
holes thanks to
a new hot mix
asphalt.
Thiel said this
mix would allow
more permanent
and substantial
repairs instead of
the cold mix that
was used during
the winter.
In the win-
ter, you cant
make permanent
repair, Thiel said.
We just try to keep up with it as
best as we can.
But it will take longer to lay
new asphalt than it would simply
to repair the potholes.
With the number of potholes
that are out there, it will take us
a little time to catch up, Thiel
said.
In the meantime, Byrd said
she would be driving slower and
keeping her eye out for pot-
holes.
Ive gotten used to them on
the streets that I commonly drive
on, so I know when and where to
dodge them, she said.

who instruct Math 121, more stu-
dents can be a problem.
Many of us have families and
cant spend 12 hours a day teaching,
grading, researching and studying
for the classes we are enrolled in,
said William Espenschied, a Math
121 instructor.
To cope with fewer resources,
the department added a Math 121
help room, said Jin Feng, an asso-
ciate professor in mathematics. In
addition to regular office hours,
instructors staff the help room and
provide individual instruction.
CLAS has had $3.46 million cut
from its budget this year. To meet
the budget, Weaver said, 18 faculty
positions and 25 graduate teaching
assistant positions were cut, along
with instructional technology and
faculty travel money. Next years
cut will be an additional $1.9 mil-
lion, and Weaver said he expected
the College to eliminate 35 gradu-
ate teaching assistant positions, five
more faculty positions, five staff
positions and some other operat-
ing expense funding.
With the impending budget cut
for next fiscal year, its really going
to hurt, he said.
Although most students are
required to take English 101, hav-
ing seven fewer sections did not
result in overcrowding last fall,
Weaver said. This was because of
a slight overall decrease in CLAS
enrollment, Weaver said. But he
said he expected that further cuts
could cause wait-
ing lists and larger
class sizes.
Josh Hart,
an English 101
instructor, said
that his classes
were usually
about 20 students
but that last fall he
had 24.
One of the
strengths of
smaller class sizes
is that its easier
for students to relate, he said.
Incoming freshmen need that
smaller environment to keep their
heads above water, and I always
felt as an English 101 teacher that I
could be that personal face.
Colleen Young, a freshman from
Chicago, took English 101 last
fall and said the personal atmo-
sphere helped her transition to the
University.
That was the class I did my best
in, she said. It was my only A. In
big lectures, the professor obvi-
ously wont know your name, but
in the smaller classes, they get to
know you better.
Although some
students face over-
crowded classrooms
and wait lists in spring
semesters, the prob-
lem is most apparent
during fall semesters
when enrollment is
higher.
Lynn Bretz, direc-
tor of university com-
munications, said the
University will have a
better idea of how to
address these issues once its bud-
get for the 2010-2011 fiscal year
is decided in July and after enroll-
ment for the 2010 fall semester.

MoNique refuses to discuss her Oscar
Next on remake list: Wizard of Oz
Mcclatchy-tribune
LOS ANGELES Hollywood is
once again off to see the wizard.
In fact, it may make many trips.
As Tim Burtons interpretation of
Alice in Wonderland continues to
attract audiences, film-world power
brokers are looking to jump-start a
number of remakes of The Wizard
of Oz a close adaptation of the
original novel, a prequel about the
wizard and a darker tale about
Dorothys granddaughter in Oz.
Two of the three are, like Alice,
stories about a girl on an identity-
forging series of adventures.
Audiences who know the film
only from TV runs and remastered
DVDs of the 1939 classic could
soon find themselves with several
Oz options at the multiplex. But
the remakes again raise questions
about whether Hollywood is turn-
ing too often to its past and
whether a new version will expand
on the rich mythology of Oz or
simply trade on it.
Two Oz updates that have been
set up at Warner Bros. one at its
New Line label and another at the
parent studio are suddenly surg-
ing in the wake of the $210-mil-
lion worldwide
opening weekend
of Alice. Warner
Bros. executives
have put the word
out to representa-
tives of top-level
Hollywood direc-
tors that theyre
keen to make at
least one of the
movies.
The New Line movie is con-
ceived as a comparatively faith-
ful, non-musical adaptation of
the original L. Frank Baum novel
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Produced by Twilight produc-
ers Temple Hill Entertainment, the
film is written by Shrek Forever
After writer Darren Lemke, who
has completed a draft of a script.
The script hews closely to the book
published in 1900, Baums novel
lies in the public domain, thus
allowing screenwriters to adapt it
free of copyright
concerns with
only small adjust-
ments. (Dorothy
is 16 years old
instead of 14, for
example.)
P r o d u c e r s
hope the movie
can become the
basis of a fran-
chise whose future
installments would draw from the
21 other books Baum wrote about
the Land of Oz. Warner Bros.,
whose Harry Potter ends next
year, is hoping the same.

ST. LOUIS Oscar-winning
actress MoNique is interested
only in doing things her way.
She didnt play the usual game
of politicking to win her Academy
Award for playing Mary Jones,
one of the worst mothers in movie
history, in Precious: Based on the
novel Push by Sapphire.
Shes setting the rules when it
comes to interviews for her new
Spread the Love comedy tour.
A firm e-mail from her pub-
licist arrived the night before
her phone interview stating that
MoNique would address only one
topic: the comedy tour. She would
not, repeat not, discuss her Oscar.
She obviously wasnt going to dis-
cuss her open marriage, which she
talked about during her Barbara
Walters interview.
Any deviation from discussing
the comedy tour, the e-mail said,
would result in the calls discon-
nection.
The request shows that
MoNique considers herself a
stand-up comedian first, not an
actress. She just happens to be a
stand-up comedian who won an
Oscar.
In doing all this press, now
that Ive won the Oscar, they want
to ask me about being a dramatic
actress. Im a stand-up comedian,
MoNique said, who hasnt done
stand-up in about a year. Thats
my baby, my first love.
In addition to Precious, she
has been busy hosting her late-
night talk show on BET.
This may be news to those who
just discovered MoNique thanks
to Precious. But long before the
movie, MoNique was part of the
2001 film Queens of Comedy
that also featured Adele Givens,
Sommore and Laura Hayes. She
also appeared in under-the-radar
black-oriented comedies such as
Phat Girlz, Hair Show and
Soul Plane, and starred in the
sitcom The Parkers for several
years.

here will never be a
cure for cancer. Despite
consistent promises of
the elimination of this modern
plague over the past few decades,
no panacea is in sight.
Cancer has evaded the
pressures of evolution and
diverged in a multi-headed
hydra, becoming more difcult
to wrestle the more we fght to
understand its biology.
Tis has made it all too easy
for charlatans to peddle false
cures to those stricken by this
scourge, but vigilant scien-
tifc progress into the nature of
cancer can give us reason to fnd
optimism not in its cure, but in
its treatment.
Why is cancer so resilient
and ubiquitous? Te answer is
evolution. Organisms have been
subjected to natural selection
for millions of years, protecting
and improving our survival with
the sole objective of increas-
ing reproductive success. But
as soon as we age, evolution is
a cruel caretaker. Tere are few
evolutionary reasons to promote
health in the elderly, and thus
cancer received an unfortunate
window into humanity.
Scientists have a history of hu-
bris, predicting a future cure for
cancer during the last half of the
century. Advances in technol-
ogy and medicine have spurned
nearly every new generation of
researchers to claim a cancer
cure is just on the horizon. Yet a
cure is still unavailable.
But a cure for cancer is an
oversimplifed and ultimately
ignorant goal. Cancer is not a
single disease with a single cause
and single treatment.
Cancer is a collection of many
diferent kinds of uncontrolled
cellular growths: leukemias, solid
tumors, cancers from a variety
of tissues and more. Tere are
hundreds of cancers, each with
a diverse array of treatments tai-
lored by research. Some cancers
can be surgically removed, others
require chemotherapy, but most
ofen are treated by a combinato-
rial approach.
Billions of dollars have been
spent on biomedical research of
cancer, and the overwhelming
results demonstrate the inher-
ent complexity of the disease.
To claim to want a single cure
for cancer would be the same
as wanting a single food to cure
world hunger. False expectations
are clouding scientifc progress.
Tis deceptive reading of
modern cancer treatments has
had a price; it has opened the
doors for unqualifed experts
to claim bogus cures, preying on
patients at their most vulnerable
and promising false hope. Physi-
cians of cancer patients can be
intimidating, forced by ethics to
deliver an honest explanation of
the difculty of the disease and
the limitations of treatment. But
alternative medicine practitio-
ners can promise natural cures,
tempting the patient to abandon
medical science. Tese alterna-
tive treatments are ofen without
any scientifc merit or evidence,
tearing the patient away from
real medicine.
However, there is still reason
to be optimistic. Survival rates
for cancer are rising as diagnoses
and treatments improve.
As complex as cancer is, there
are novel treatments based on
new scientifc discoveries, taking
what we learn from each type of
cancer and providing targeted
treatment. Although there will
never be a cure for cancer, there
almost certainly will be better
treatments.

L
ast semester a epidemic of
fear broke out on campus.
Te H1N1 virus became
big news, and students, parents
and professors couldnt help but
discuss this hot topic.
Even today, anyone who
turns on the television will more
than likely see a commercial
instructing the viewer to vac-
cinate yourself and vaccinate
those you love. All around
campus I see posters and signs
instructing students to GET VAC-
CINATED!
It perplexes me to think that so
many people trust a vaccine that
was created so quickly and with so
little known about the long term
efects.
History has shown that vaccines
have failed before, and many
people sufered grave consequenc-
es from receiving a vaccine they
thought was necessary.
Anthony Principi, former
Secretary of Veteran Afairs,
confessed that soldiers who were
vaccinated between 1990 and 1991
with the anthrax vaccine were 200
percent more likely to develop Lou
Gehrigs disease. Many of those
vaccinated sufered from debilitat-
ing autoimmune diseases, such
as multiple sclerosis, lupus and
endocarditis.
Tese diseases can be attributed
to ingredients found within the
vaccine, particularly squalene and
MF-59. Although independent
laboratories found these ingre-
dients to be particularly danger-
ous, studies done by the vaccines
manufacturers, Novartis and the
former Chiron, which was bought
out by Novartis, stated that these
ingredients are safe.
However, vaccine manufactur-
ers have made some detrimental
errors in the past, so their studies
should not be viewed as absolute
truths.
Baxter, one of the companies
commissioned to make the H1N1
vaccine, has a history of disastrous
mistakes. Its frst error was in
2006, when hemophiliac compo-
nents were contaminated with the
HIV virus. Tens of thousands of
people received this deadly shot
before the mistake was realized.
Recently, Baxter sent a seasonal
fu vaccine that was contaminated
with the avian fu to 18 countries.
Te Czech Republic discovered
Baxters error and stopped a
possible world pandemic from
occurring.
Tese errors are unacceptable,
particularly because so many vac-
cines are required in the United
States before students can attend
public school. Before enrolling
at the University, students are
required to submit proof of vacci-
nation. One of the only loopholes
is to cite religious preferences.
No one would want to be forced
to take a prescription drug because
there are so many potential side
efects. Tis is true for vaccines as
well.
Te U.S. government should
not be able to force anyone to be
vaccinated, nor should public
institutions be allowed to deny
students education because they
dont want to subject themselves to
the potentially debilitating efects
that can be caused by vaccines.
Tose who choose to be vac-
cinated have nothing to fear from
the un-vaccinated; vaccines are
designed to help an individual
develop immunity to specifc
diseases.
Students should think critically
before getting vaccinated.
No one should get vaccinated
just because they are scared into
believing it is necessary.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
Tapped out: No more plastic bottles
W
hen water first started
being put into individ-
ual bottles back in the
day, I cant honestly say I thought
too much about it. It was, in my
opinion, a good alternative to
Coke and sugary fruit drinks sold
in the cold cases at the checkout
of grocery stores and a convenient
amenity for long road trips.
I started to notice a lot of water
bottles being left about just like
Coke cans, as well as too many of
them making their way into the
trash can rather than the recycling
bin. In fact, according to Food
and Water Watch, a nonprofit
organization committed to pro-
tecting natural resources, only
20 percent of water bottles are
recycled: The rest end up in the
landfills and oceans.
The bottled water boom of the
1990s and current consumption
of more than 50 billion (yes, bil-
lion) bottles a year can be largely
attributed to one of the most
successful marketing campaigns
in history. Companies like Coke
and Pepsi, who bottle the Dasani
and Aquafina brand bottled water,
must have had some marketing
studs because they effectively
convinced America the water
coming out of their tap was gross
and dirty, and that which came
individually packaged in plastic
was clean and healthy. All of this
despite the fact that the water was
all the same.
While its not news anymore
that bottled water is just filtered
tap water that hasnt been as rigor-
ously tested as municipal water,
people are still drinking $35 bil-
lion dollars worth of it a year.
The industry is unnecessarily
taxing on the environment as well.
Its for this reason that the newly
formed student group, the Climate
Justice League, has initiated a
Take Back the Tap campaign
here on campus. You may have
seen the enormous water-bottle
tree that was erected at the EMU
last Monday, or maybe you even
removed one of the bottles from
it during its de-construction in
your own symbolic gesture to take
back the tap.
The Climate Justice League is a
group that was formed by ASUO
senator Jeremy Blanchard and
other student activists to address
a need for targeted, goal-oriented
grassroots campaigns that result
in changes on campus Blanchard
said. The Take Back the Tap
campaign has been aimed at cre-
ating awareness about the issue,
and was coordinated by Climate
Justice League member Anne
Ward.
The campaign reached its apex
last week at the event, where
Climate Justice League members
also collected signatures for a
petition that was to be presented
to the ASUO Senate along with a
resolution that would ban student
groups and student government
from using incidental fee money
to purchase bottled water for any
events. Both the petition and reso-
lution were a success; the petition
received thousands of signatures
and the Senate voted to consider
the resolution at its meeting last
Wednesday evening. A final vote
will be held this week to solidify
the procedure.
My favorite part about Climate
Justice Leagues event and its
ongoing campaign is that it
addresses consumer choices, and
thats really what this issue comes
down to. Companies have made
this superfluous product available,
but we bit the bait and created a
demand for it.
Thats why any successful cam-
paign will aim at changing or
shifting consumer values; which
will in turn affect consumer
habits and choices rather than
simply lambast corporate inter-
ests for supplying ecologically
irresponsible products. Once we
have the information, we can
make more informed choices. I
therefore applaud the Climate
Justice League and its efforts to
help everyone on campus be more
aware of the impacts of their
water consumption choices and
offer them a deceptively simple
solution fill up your canteen at
the fountain and drink up!

Conceal and carry
bill passes House
A bill that would allow
concealed carry of weapons on
campuses was passed in the
kansas House of Representa-
tives 65 to 57 Wednesday.
According to the text of
House Bill 2685, the only way
weapons in state or municipal
facilities could be prohibited
would be if the building had
adequate security measures to
prove that no weapons could
be brought into the facility.
The concealed carry bill
as passed would undermine
campus safety and security ef-
forts now in place, said Jill Jess,
university relations spokes-
woman. Allowing weapons
on campus would signifcantly
increase the risk of violence
and harm to students, faculty
and others, rather than making
anyone safer.
The amendment to the bill
clarifed that adequate secu-
rity measures would include
walk-through metal detectors
and wands at entrances, along
with additional staf at each
entrance. According to the
kansas Association of counties,
these measures would cost
$52,500 per entrance. Universi-
ty ofcials were not happy with
the possibility of this expense.
To keep weapons of
campus, the University would
have to install metal detectors
at virtually every building en-
trance. Such security methods
would be cost prohibitive and
would not absolutely guaran-
tee safety, Jess said.
Rep. Forrest knox (R-Fredo-
nia) was the driving force for
the bill, along with a parole of-
fcer and representatives of the
national Rife Association.
opponents of the bill who
provided testimony included
the kansas Highway Patrol, the
kansas Board of Regents, the
city of overland Park, League
of kansas Municipalities,
kansas Peace Association, the
city of Wichita and the kansas
Association of chiefs of Police.
The bill is now being consid-
ered by the Senate.

Filling out census
required to enroll
About 10,000 students
have yet to fll out the state
census as of Wednesday. With
summer and fall enrollment
starting today, students will
encounter an enrollment hold
until they complete it.
According to Todd cohen,
spokesman with university re-
lations, 14,000 students have
completed the census.
But its not as simple as fll-
ing out the census and enroll-
ing immediately afterward,
cohen said.
The Registars ofce only
updates once a day at 7 a.m.
If a student completes the
census at 8 a.m., the hold on
the account would last until 7
a.m. the following day.
The only exception to this
rule is on Fridays, when the
ofce updates the census
count at 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. so
students dont have to wait
until Monday to enroll.
Its easier to do it right
now, cohen said. Its really
short, doesnt take very long
and youll be ready to enroll.

City considers bar
zone near campus
The idea of bars and
restaurants being permitted
where the Jayhawk Book-
store currently stands at
1420 crescent Road caused
many of its neighbors and
members of the public to
raise concern at Wednesday
nights city Planning com-
mission meeting.
An amendment was
considered that would
allow bars and restaurants
to be built in the Univer-
sity Heights district under a
special use permit granted
by the city. Right now, the
area around the bookstore
is considered a mixed-use
district, meaning that it can
be used for residential and
commercial purposes. The
amendment would also af-
fect other future mixed-use
districts, such as the one be-
ing proposed near 14th and
ohio streets as part of the
oread neighborhood Plan.
neighbors voiced oppo-
sition to the amendment,
saying they were promised
when the location became
a mixed-use district about
a year and a half ago that
bars would not be permitted
in the area. If the amend-
ment passes there is only
the potential for bars and
restaurants to be put in
the space would have to be
vacated or redeveloped frst.
Jim Sherman, a member
of the University Heights
neighborhood Association
who resides in area, said peo-
ple feared that a bar would
be allowed in the location.
He said the neighborhood
had been assured this would
not happen. He cited many
negative efects a bar might
have, including issues with
noise, trafc and trash.
A representative of the
chi omega Sorority also
opposed the amendment,
saying a bar in its backyard
could possibly harm the
historic preservation of the
building and could result in
problems associated with
alcohol.
As of now, Janet Muggy,
co-owner of the Jayhawk
Bookstore property, said she
didnt plan to redevelop the
property.
Although planning com-
missioners supported the
idea of mixed-use districts
and the special-use permit
as it applies to bars in the
oread neighborhood, they
were hesitant to permit the
same use in the area around
Jayhawk Bookstore. Part of
their hesitation stemmed
from their promise that bars
would not be allowed in the
neighborhood.
city staf was directed to
review the language and
implications of the amend-
ment again. They will work
on ways to still allow the
amendment for the oread
neighborhood but maintain
the agreed standards for the
University Heights neighbor-
hood. The amendment will
be reviewed again in April.

Nebraska legislators
tweak pre-natal policy
BY NATE JENKINS
Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. Abortion
and illegal immigration, two of the
more explosive political issues in the
country, are colliding in a way that
could force Nebraska lawmakers to
make an unusual, emotional choice.
The dilemma: Is it more impor-
tant to care for pregnant women
and their unborn children, or pre-
vent illegal immigrants from getting
taxpayer-funded benefits?
Until early this month, Nebraska
had the only Medicaid policy in the
country that allowed unborn children
to qualify. That meant women who
werent eligible for the government-
run insurance program on their
own such as illegal immigrants
got Medicaid-
covered prenatal
care because their
unborn children
qualified.
After fed-
eral officials
told Nebraska
it was breaking
Medicaid rules,
the state tried to
come up with a
substitute. That
effort appeared dead more than a
week ago, when lawmakers sensed
they couldnt muster enough votes
to override a veto from Gov. Dave
Heineman.
But reports from doctors of sev-
eral women saying they will have
abortions instead because they
couldnt afford prenatal care have
reignited the issue. While its still
unclear whether lawmakers will get
a new plan to debate, the abortion
reports have raised the possibility
they will.
So far, the response has revealed
philosophical divides among both
Democrats and Republicans.
There are competing principles,
and whichever way you vote, you
are compromising a core principle,
said Sen. Tony Fulton of Lincoln.
A Republican who is opposed to
abortion, hes leaning in favor of
extending prenatal benefits to illegal
immigrants but phasing out such
funding over time.
Theres so many political traps,
it could be liberating, said Sen.
Scott Lautenbaugh of Omaha, a
Republican who also describes him-
self as against abortion but who
is leaning against providing state-
funded care to illegal immigrants.
Youre darned if you do and darned
if you dont.
Some lawmakers crinkle their
brows and become solemn when
speaking about the decision they
may have to make. Others get angry
when arguing that the issue is strict-
ly about illegal immigration, not
anti-abortion sentiment. One nor-
mally open lawmaker refused to talk
publicly about the issue, worried
it could hurt him in the upcoming
election.
Heineman, meanwhile, has tried
to stay out
of the fray.
Running for
r e - e l e c t i on,
the Republican
q u i e t l y
announced his
opposition to
st ate-f unded
prenatal care
for illegal
i mmi g r a nt s
last month in a
letter to a legislative committee.
Asked about the issue late last
week, Heineman who normally
has an even-keeled public demeanor
got testy.
It seems to me each one of you
ought to be asking the ... senators
where they stand, he said.
State officials say that about 870
illegal immigrants and 750 legal
residents including citizens lost
Medicaid coverage this month when
Nebraska dumped its two-decade-
old Medicaid policy. More than
4,700 legal residents once consid-
ered at risk of losing coverage got to
keep it because state officials found
they qualified under different provi-
sions of Medicaid.
Carrie Carstens, a single mom,
was one of them. After initially
believing she would no longer qual-
ify for Medicaid, she went to her
doctor and told him she wouldnt
see him anymore.
I simply couldnt afford it, she
said.
There are so many
political traps, it could be
liberating.

Student Senate passed a
resolution Wednesday night to
encourage Ku Athletics Inc. to
improve labor monitoring in fac-
tories that produce Ku apparel.
Andrea Peterson, a senior from
Manhattan, wrote the bill. Peter-
son said Ku Athletics Inc. current-
ly pays the Fair Labor Association
$50,000 a year to make sure no
labor violations take place in the
factories. Instead, Ku Athletics
should work with Worker rights
Consortium, she said.
I would like us to recommend
or come out in favor of switching
to the Worker rights Consortium,
which has a much better history
of responding to workers rights
complaints, Peterson said.
Peterson said there would be
no change in fees if the switch
were made. She said 186 other
colleges and universities in the
country, including three schools
in the Big 12, were also afliated
with Worker rights Consortium.

AssociAted Press
LOS ANGELES Four munici-
pal trucks were set ablaze in a rural
Riverside County town plagued
by bizarre booby trap attempts to
kill police officers, and authorities
said Wednesday the fire may be
linked to the earlier attacks.
Everyone is worried, everyone
is being careful, Hemet police Lt.
Duane Wisehart said. You get
scared a little bit and then you get
angry. It keeps happening.
Someone called the police
around 11:10 p.m. Tuesday to
report a fire in the parking lot at
Hemet City Hall, located within
two blocks of the police depart-
ment, Police Chief Richard Dana
said. No one was hurt.
Police were working with state
and federal investigators to deter-
mine the cause of the blaze, which
sent flames several feet above the
trucks in the cab and hood area.
The white trucks were for use by
code enforcement officers.
Early indications were that
some kind of flammable substance
was used and not an explosive,
Dana said.
Hemet, a traditionally quiet
retirement city about 90 miles
southeast of Los Angeles, has been
rocked by a series of booby trap
attacks against police officers in
recent weeks.
We are operating under the
theory (the fire) is connected to
the other assaults, Dana said.
On Dec. 31, a natural gas pipe
was rerouted into the headquarters
of a gang task force. The build-
ing filled with flammable vapor,
but an officer smelled the danger
before anyone was hurt.
In a second attack, some kind of
ballistic device rigged to a security
fence at the same building went off
when an officer opened the gate,
but the bullet missed.
The third attack involved
a deadly device found under a
police officers unmarked car after
the officer drove to a convenience
store.
Dana said there has been at least
one other booby trap uncovered,
but he declined
to release
details. In the
past week or
so, officers
have received
threats daily,
either on their
non-emergen-
cy telephone
lines or via
e-mail.
They say
things like, Its
too bad they missed, the next ones
gonna get you, Dana said.
Investigators believe the attacks
are the work of more than one
individual, partly because of the
sheer volume of activity.
Wisehart said a confidential
informant last week overheard
two people talking about how they
were going to blow up a Hemet
police car over the weekend. The
informant told the Riverside
County Sheriff s deputies, who
notified Hemet authorities.
Agents were working to deter-
mine if all the trucks in Tuesdays
fire were set ablaze at once or if the
fire had gone from one vehicle to
the next, said Keith Krolczyk, resi-
dent agent in charge of the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives in Riverside. He said
the vehicles were severely dam-
aged.
Police initially suspected the
Vagos, Californias largest out-
law motorcycle gang, may be
involved in the booby trap attacks.
Authorities last week arrested 35
members of the Vagos in Riverside
County as part of a crackdown
across the state
and in Arizona,
Nevada and
Utah. The district
attorneys office
was still review-
ing cases and did
not immediately
know how many
people had been
charged.
Gang enforce-
ment officers
monitored a group
of gang members at a funeral two
days before the first attack, leading
investigators to wonder if the gang
felt affronted.
But Dana on Wednesday dis-
tanced himself from the theory.
We have since started looking
at other things he said. They are
a group that is on the investigation
list but there are other groups,
too.
A $200,000 reward has been
offered for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of those
responsible for the attacks.

Andrew Zarda usually begins his
carpool home at 4:30 p.m. Small
talk on the ride is difficult for
Zarda because hes the only native
English speaker in the car, but that
doesnt stop him from striking up
a conversation with three cowork-
ers in the backseat who nod with
polite smiles.
Zarda, Harvest Hiring owner
and a 2009 School of Business
graduate and KU almnus, drives
employees like Shyiam Khanal, a
refugee from Bhutan, to and from
temporary jobs in Kansas City,
Kan., four to five days a week.
Shyam, what kind of work did
you do today? Zarda asked.
Today my work is in an inside
room, in the bathroom clean-
ing, answered Shyam Khanal
from the backseat with anoth-
er smile. Vacuum cleaning.
Khanal seemed unaffected by the
daily grind, perhaps because hes
working his first paying job in 17
years.
Khanal and the other refugees
in the car are from Bhutan, a small
Buddhist country landlocked
between China and India. They
are now exiled in Kansas City after
spending years in Nepali displace-
ment camps when they escaped
the Bhutanese government in the
1980s.
According to the Department of
State, more than 85,000 refugees
still live in Nepali camps today.
That number was once higher, but
the United States offered to accept
up to 60,000 refugees in 2006.
Three years later, Khanal and Lila
Rai, another Bhutanese refugee,
are here, on their way home from
work.
Zarda founded Harvest Hiring, a
contract labor company that trains
and connects Bhutanese refugees
with employers seeking additional
labor, to address the growing pop-
ulation of Bhutanese refugees in
Kansas City.
Our goal is to help out the work-
ers as much as possible, he said.
While brainstorming business
ideas last spring, Zarda worked
with refugees on volunteer proj-
ects in Kansas City, He spoke
with his father, Bernie Zarda,
an entrepreneur in the area, and
discovered that many companies
needed dependable and temporary
labor throughout the year. With
his fathers help, Zarda founded
Harvest Hiring last June. Since
then, 12 of the companys con-
tract workers have been hired as
full-time employees by clients.
Andrew picks us up and drives us
long, long distance, Rai said. Hes
a very helpful man.
Rai and Khanal are two of about
150 refugees from Bhutan living in
the Kansas City area. According
to David Stettler from Mission
Adelante, an outreach group for
refugees living in Kansas City,
about 100 new refugees expected
to settle there over the next four
years. Currently, 23,000 Bhutanese
refugees live in the U.S.
Zarda said the refugees in the
U.S. faced complex challenges,
including difficulties with health
care, education and employment.
He said many refugees were either
born without citizenship in dis-
placement camps or lost it during
the conflict in Bhutan. Because of
this, they were unable to secure
paying jobs, and instead per-
formed chores of daily life in the
camps. Many are receiving their
first wages in 20 years.
It was really fun the first time I
got to give out paychecks to some
of the guys, Zarda said. They
come from a country with a caste
system and all sorts of stuff. Here,
they know they can improve their
life and they love that opportunity.
They love that idea.
Back in the car, Zarda pulls into
the gravel lot of an old brick-brown
apartment building. It was Khanals
turn to be dropped off. Instead,
Khanal invited Zarda inside to
visit his family. They were greeted
by Khanals wife, two daughters
and son, who offered him mango
slices, orange soda and stories
about their day. Khanals daughter,
a high school senior, talked about
her journalism class at school.
When the visiting was over, they
said goodbyes, and Zarda turned
out of the gravel lot and began
his drive back to his home in
Lawrence. Its a long commute, but
Zarda doesnt mind.
Im loving this, he said. Im
learning so much.

Man convicted
of murder vanished
after getting parole
BY MATT GOURAS
Associated Press
HELENA, Mont. A hitch-
hiker originally sentenced to be
executed for the 1951 killing of a
Montana man who picked him up
during a blizzard has been found
running a wedding chapel under
an assumed name in Arizona,
38 years after he skipped out on
parole.
Frank Dryman was found
after the victims grandson hired
an investigator who tracked the
fugitive to his Arizona City nota-
ry and chapel business, where he
was known as Victor Houston.
Now 78, Dryman was await-
ing extradition proceedings after
his Tuesday arrest by the Pinal
County sher-
iff s office. A
hearing was
s c h e d u l e d
for Thursday
morning in
Arizona.
I think
this sends a
message to
other fugi-
tives that
they are
never off the radar screen, Bob
Anez, Montana Department of
Corrections spokesman said.
Its imperative that individu-
als be held accountable for their
actions.
Dryman initially received a
hanging sentence after a quick
trial in 1955. His case became the
focus of a battle over the death
penalty and frontier justice, and
he received a new sentence of
life in prison with the help of the
Montana Supreme Court.
In 1969, after just 15 years
in prison, he was paroled.
The Montana Department of
Corrections said that today, the
soonest a person sentenced to
life in prison could gain parole
is 30 years.
Dryman disappeared three
years later. No Montana offender
had been missing longer.
He just went into thin air
in 1972, said Clem Pellett, the
victims grandson. I dont think
that my grandfathers death was
well represented; it just got lost
in all the ideologic conversation
of the time.
Pellett, a surgeon in Bellevue,
Wash., pursued the case after first
learning details last year while
digging through old newspaper
clippings in storage. He said the
issue was never discussed in the
family.
Pellett said he was driven by a
sense of curiosity, and does not
feel like he needs any revenge
since he never knew his grand-
father Clarence, and knew little
about the murder.
Newspaper clippings from
the time say that Clarence
Pellett stopped to pick up Frank
Dryman in 1951 during a spring
blizzard near Shelby, a small town
in northern Montana.
Pellett, who ran a cafe, was
shot seven times in the back as
he tried to run away, according to
the accounts.
The private investigator hired
by the grandson used scores of
documents the family dug up from
old parole records, the Montana
Historical Society and Internet
searches to trace Dryman to the
Cactus Rose Wedding Chapel,
Pellett told Montana correc-
tions officials of the discovery.
Officials said Dryman acknowl-
edged his identity to officers.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul
Babeu said that Dryman had
blended into local society and
even cultivated friendships with
previous county sheriffs.
Prosecutors
in Arizona
said they did
not know if
Dryman had
an attorney.
A call to the
wedding cha-
pel Wednesday
was not
answered.
They can
run from the law, but with per-
severance and good investigative
work, we almost always find them
in the end, Babeu said.
The Montana Department of
Corrections said that Dryman
will be sent back to the state
prison. He will face a parole
revocation hearing within the
next few months and possible
resumption of his life in prison
sentence.
Pellett said he has learned his
family has a long, coincidental
history with Dryman. Records
show that Pelletts great aunt once
testified in support of Dryman
when the then 16-year-old was
accused of robbing a liquor
store.
She came to his defense so
that he was not labeled as a delin-
quent, Pellett said.
Pellett, who decided to hire a
private investigator on a whim
during a dinner party conversa-
tion, said he is not driven to see
Dryman punished.
The legal system will handle
it, the grandson said. Whatever
they decide is fine with me. I
mean he is 78 years old.
But Pellet, 56, said he would
like to finish writing the family
history of the long trial.
I want to see if he wants to
talk to me, Pellett said. I just
want to get information. There
are holes in the story he could
really add to.

Darnell
Jackson
cut from
Cavaliers
By ALEX BEECHER
abeecher@kansan.com
Kansas 16, BaKer 0
women's BasKetBall
W
hile youre busy mourn-
ing Kansas current
crop of basketball stars,
take a moment to consider the fate
of former forward Darnell Jackson,
now cut from the Cleveland
Cavaliers.
Jackson, the over-achieving for-
ward and surprisingly integral part
of KUs 2008 national champion-
ship team, was never pegged for
NBA stardom. Still, thanks to his
consistent play and commendable
work ethic, Jackson landed a spot
with the Cavaliers.
He never played much. But
that was OK. He collected a large
check, along with the respect of his
teammates and coaches. He also
got to strike some prominent poses
in LeBron James famous pre-game
photo ops.
An NBA paycheck. A spot on
the leagues best team. That's good
for a guy who struggled for play-
ing time until his senior year at
Kansas.
But life at the end of an NBA
bench doesnt offer much in the
way of stability. Especially not
when Cleveland is trying every-
thing possible to win right now,
thus ensuring King James builds
his castle in Cleveland perma-
nently.
And so the Cavs resigned
Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who was cut
by Washington, after being traded
there in the deal for Antawn
Jamison. Its a good deal for Big
Z, whos spent his entire career
in Cleveland. Its also a good deal
for the Cavs, who need his 7-foot
frame and defense-stretching jump
shot to win a championship.
But theres always a catch.
To make room for Ilgauskas,
Cleveland had to cut someone.
With an already loaded front
court, Jackson had to be that
someone.
Professional sports is not the
realm for sentiment, and so its not
justifiable to fault Cleveland for
making an optimal business deci-
sion. Jackson simply got caught up
in the increasingly complex world
of NBA economics.
Still, its hard not to feel for
Jackson. He belongs on an NBA
roster. That much should be
clear, after his recent two-game
stint with Clevelands Lake Erie
D-League team, in which he aver-
aged 33 points and 12 rebounds.
Sure, its a small sample size. But
its indicative that Jackson can be
more than a positive character guy
on the right team.
And so the question becomes,
which team is right?
A contender, looking to tack a
solid bookend on to its bench?
Or perhaps a younger, less
accomplished squad, on which
Jackson might find more immedi-
ate minutes?
Fitting in to a team this late in
the season, no matter the composi-
tion of the squad, is always tough.
But Jacksons success has always
been through adversity. He didnt
play basketball until the ninth
grade. At Kansas, Jackson suffered
the loss of his grandmother to a
drunken driver and dealt with a
suspension.
Despite that, he emerged as a
key member of one of Kansas
national championship teams. He
will be able to handle this latest bit
of adversity just fine.

Kansas visits Illinois for Sweet 16,
hopes for glory without McCray

Senior guard Danielle McCray
capped the WNIT semifinal game
last season by retaining her own
miss and completing a three-
point play. In doing so, McCray
carried Kansas past Illinois State
75-72 before 8,630 fans at Allen
Fieldhouse, which moved Kansas
into the tournaments championship
game. But this time around its no
McCray and no Fieldhouse.
Kansas rematches Illinois State
at 7 tonight at Redbird Arena in
Normal, Ill., without the now-
injured McCray, for its first road
contest of this seasons WNIT.
If youre going to win a cham-
pionship, you have to win one on
the road, coach Bonnie Henrickson
said.
The Redbirds went 26-7 over-
all and won the Missouri Valley
Conference regular season title,
going 16-2. Illinois State totes two
first team all-MVC members in
senior forward Ashleen Bracey and
senior guard Maggie Krick. The two
average 15.1 and 14.1 points per
game respectively.
We were a little surprised that
they didnt make the tournament,
Henrickson said of the Redbirds.
We have great respect for the
Missouri Valley.
In challenging yet another foe
with more collegiate experience, the
Jayhawks must lean on what has
gotten them through road tests in
the past.
Its just you out there, freshman
guard Monica Engelman said. We
have to find some energy within the
team. Were not going to have fans
cheering us on. Were going to have
to be able to look at the bench and
trust the coaching staff that were in
this together.
Nine Redbirds shoot more than
70 percent, and the team sinks 81.4
percent on average from the free
throw line. To keep them off the free
throw line, Kansas must stay on its
heels and contest rather than hack
at the oppositions shot attempts.
Henrickson said that she thought
most of her team had been dialed
in defensively and would be ready
for the test.
Putting longer stretches together
where weve played better and exe-
cuted has been important for us,
Henrickson said.

Jayhawks blow out Wildcats
Howard Ting/KANSAN
Sophomore frst baseman Zac Elgie celebrates with teammates after a home run inWednesday's game against Baker University. Elgie went three-for-three, fnishing the game with a home run, a triple and four RBIs.
By BEN WARD

Light rain falling over Hoglund
Ballpark picked up considerably
as the evening wore on, and the
Jayhawks followed suit.
Already with a 5-0 lead after
two innings, Kansas (13-8) poured
it on from there, pounding Baker
16-0.
The Jayhawks scored multiple
runs in each inning they batted
before the rain began falling hard-
er. After Baker was retired in the
top half of the fifth and the game
made official, both coaches agreed
to end the contest, which was far
from being competitive.
But the rain held up long enough
to get a number of hitters some
extra at-bats in the developmental
game, most notably sophomore
first baseman Zac Elgie.
Elgie came into the game hit-
ting a mere .114 on the season
with only five hits in 44 at-bats.
Because of this, he was left sitting
on the bench for the past seven
games.
With the developmental game
providing an excellent opportu-
nity to get Elgie out of his slump,
coach Ritch Price gave him the
start at first base.
I was hoping that Elgie would
break out, Price said.
Elgie matched a
career-high three
hits, including a
triple and a tow-
ering three-run
home run. He said
it was a big confi-
dence boost to put
some good swings
on the ball and see
them pay off.
Its kind of
been a while since
that happened,
Elgie said with a grin.
Price was excited to see Elgie
break out with a flourish, saying
the sophomore was one of the
teams top hit-
ters in the fall
and was expect-
ed to put up
high numbers
for Kansas.
We need his
bat, Price said.
He has too
much potential
to not be con-
tributing for us.
The Wildcats
proved to be
little challenge for the Jayhawk
hitters, who smacked 11 hits in
only four innings. Bakers pitch-
ers struggled from the beginning
to find the strike zone. Wildcat
pitchers issued seven walks and
also hit three Jayhawk batters.
With the contest decided, the
rain kept coming down harder,
threatening to wipe out all of
Kansas showy statistics, including
Elgies slump-busting three hits.
But he said he just focused on
playing the game.
It was in the back of my head a
little bit, Elgie said. But you cant
really worry about it.

T
wenty-eight of the 32 NFL own-
ers voted Tuesday to change the
way teams play overtime in the
playoffs.
Now, instead of playoff overtimes end-
ing suddenly when one team scores, both
teams will get a possession if the team
that receives the ball first just scores a
field goal.
This new rule will make playoff over-
times more interesting and is a step in the
right direction because it gives both teams
some opportunity to have possession of
the ball.
The previous sudden death overtime
format in the NFL playoffs, which are
single elimination, had been under scru-
tiny for years. Debate on whether the old
overtime playoff format was fair heated
up again this season. The New Orleans
Saints, this years Super Bowl Champions,
defeated the Minnesota Vikings after
scoring a field goal on their first posses-
sion in overtime during last years NFC
Championship game.
Under the new rules, if the team that
wins the coin toss scores a field goal with
its first possession, then the team that
lost the coin toss gets the ball back with a
chance to score. If that team scores a field
goal, then the game continues as sudden
death, but if the team scores a touchdown,
the game ends. If the team which won the
coin flip scores a touchdown the game
also ends. This only addresses field goals
on the first possession of games.
The point of this new rule is to give the
team that lost the coin flip some sort of
opportunity to score.
The NFLs competition committee,
made up of eight coaches and general
managers, compiled data beginning in
1994 that showed the team that won the
coin toss went on to win the overtime
59.8 percent of the time.
Its not fair to give a team a nearly 10
percentage point advantage because of a
random event in these incredibly impor-
tant overtime playoff games.
In every other major professional sport,
both teams get an opportunity to score
in overtime. In the NFL, at least now if
the first team kicks a field goal, the other
team will get a chance to respond.
The college football overtime rules give
both teams a truly equal opportunity to
score. The NFL is now beginning to lean
toward that method, and there certainly
will be more changes to come in the
future.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
you cant sit on a lead and run
a few plays into the line and
just kill the clock. youve got to
throw the ball over the goddamn
plate and give the other man his
chance. Thats why baseball is the
greatest game of them all.
Earl Weaver, former manager for the
Baltimore Orioles

SALT LAKE CITY Time is
supposed to ease the pain of past
embarrassments.
The way Kansas State guard
Jacob Pullen sees it, though, there
are some things you simply cant
forget.
Locked in Pullens memory is
the way he felt on New Years Eve
2007 the night his team got
blown out by Xavier, the same
team the second-seeded Wildcats
face Thursday night in the West
Regional semifinals.
They laughed on the court,
played around, Pullen said. You
dont forget things like that. So
when you get the opportunity
to play against a team like that,
you always remember that, no
matter if its one person from that
team or 10 people from that same
team.
K-State got payback for the
26-point loss the worst of coach
Frank Martins short career
with a physical, grinding 15-point
win this season in Manhattan.
Now, one of Americas hidden
little rivalries resumes, this time
with the stakes ratcheted up a
few notches. Kansas State (28-7)
is two wins from its first Final
Four since 1964. Xavier (26-8)
has never been.
It rings a bell because theyre
Xavier, Martin said. I know
their program, firsthand. I under-
stand the winning culture they
have, the expectations they have.
Then, weve played them. We got
absolutely annihilated by them on
national TV on Dec. 31.
Martins familiarity with sixth-
seeded Xavier comes thanks to
his history as an assistant for Bob
Huggins first at Xaviers cross-
town rival, Cincinnati, then at
Kansas State. When Huggins left
for West Virginia, Martin took
over Huggins program, along
with his schedule.
It included two more in a
three-game series against Xavier,
and after the first of those the
Dec. 31, 2007, matchup Martin
might have been wondering what
he got himself into.
His prized recruit and star
player, Michael Beasley, forgot his
shoes and didnt make a basket
until the final minute.
B i l l
(Walker) lost
his phone, I
think. Clent
( S t e wa r t )
didnt have
his shoes,
either, Pullen
remembered.
It wasnt the
greatest trip
we had made
all season.
But we still went out there and
played. And we got beat.
The Musketeers let them know
about it, dissing the Wildcats by
cracking jokes at the free throw
line to turn a bad loss into some-
thing even worse.
Which might explain why this
seasons game, still on some play-
ers minds nearly two years after
the previous meeting, was such
a physical affair. There were 57
fouls and 73 free throws, lots of
hard screens and rough play in
the post. K-State fans braved a
heavy snowstorm to attend the
game, and when the Wildcats fin-
ished up the 71-56 victory, they
snaked behind the media table
to celebrate with the students
the kind of celebration normally
saved for March, not December.
Xavier forward Jamel McLean
doesnt think anyone should get
this confused with Carolina-
Duke. But he has a memory, too.
I dont think its a real rival-
ry, he said. I mean, we played
the past couple years. Its a team
we have a series with. Weve got
them, they got us. Were about
to go out there again and rally
up and knock each others heads
off.
Kansas State
will be play-
ing 22 years
to the date of
its last trip to
the regionals,
back when
Lon Kruger
and Mitch
Richmond led
the Wildcats
on a run that
ended one loss short of the Final
Four. K-State was beaten by
Danny Manning and Kansas that
year in the regional final, a story
line thats been oft-repeated over
the years certainly too often
in the minds of those in the Little
Apple.
But for as long as they last
in this tournament, the Wildcats
wont have to be the other team
from Kansas. The Jayhawks lost
last weekend, removing from the
tournament a team responsible
for three of Kansas States seven
losses this year.
To compare us to Kansas,
were going to have to start beat-
ing them first, Martin said. If
were not beating them, were not
getting too much done.

I want to start, said Marshall.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THurSdAy, MArCH 25, 2010 / SPORTS / 3B
BY ROB GILLIES
Associated Press
TORONTO Hes treated big-
name athletes, Tiger Woods and
Alex Rodriguez among them.
He acknowledges taking human
growth hormone, and to prescrib-
ing the substance for patients over
40, though he insists hes never
given it to athletes.
Dr. Anthony Galea is the 51-year-
old physician at the center of drug
investigations in Canada and the
U.S. that have sent American fed-
eral agents trooping down to spring
training to question ball players
and have put him under suspicion.
Rodriguez is scheduled to talk Fri-
day to investigators in Bufalo, N.Y.,
about his treatment from Galea last
year, which the doctor says con-
sisted of prescribing anti-infam-
matories afer the Yankees slugger
underwent hip surgery.
Even allies see Galea as unortho-
dox, yet the doctor insists he will
be vindicated once Rodriguez and
other athletes speak to authorities.
Watch what happens when
their statements come out, Galea
said during a recent interview with
Te Associated Press at his clinic in
Toronto. When they get subpoe-
naed they are going to have to tell
the truth.
Galea came under scrutiny last
fall when his assistant, Mary Anne
Catalano, was stopped at the U.S.-
Canadian border in Bufalo with
HGH and an unapproved drug
called Actovegin. Galea said the
HGH was a minuscule amount for
himself.
Soon afer, Galeas Toronto clin-
ic, the Institute of Sports Medicine
Health and Wellness Centre, was
raided and he was charged with
four counts, including one related
to the smuggling of HGH into the
U.S. But the charges are primarily
focused on Actovegin, a controver-
sial drug used in another healing
technique.
U.S. federal court documents in
Catalanos case say 20 vials and 76
ampoules of unknown misbranded
drugs including Nutropin (Hu-
man Growth Hormone -HGH) and
foreign homeopathic drugs were
found in a car she was driving,
which is registered to Galea.
Te doctor counters that
Catalano only could have had a
tiny, half-empty
bottle or one
ampoule of
HGH because
she was
bringing the
drug across the
border for his
own use. When
the AP visited
Galeas clinic,
he took the
reporter to the pharmacy attached
to his clinic where he had the
pharmacist give him what he said
was such a bottle it was smaller
than a pinkie fnger.
If you read what the press said
in the States about me it was Oh he
got caught with ampoules. It was
one half bottle
used with the
top of, Galea
said. If youre
going to give it
to an elite ath-
lete they would
need a mini-
mum of three
bottles of this
a week for six
months.
Calvin Barry, Catalanos lawyer,
said she is fully cooperating with
investigators. Barry and others
have described Catalano as inte-
gral to Galeas practice, serving as
his executive assistant though
she quit afer being arrested. Barry
declined to say whether or not she
told authorities that Galea provid-
ed HGH or any other performance
enhancing drug to athletes.
U.S. court documents say Cata-
lano admitted that she knew the
items she was bringing into the U.S.
were illegal and that she was doing it
for her employer. She claimed that,
if questioned about the purpose of
her trip, she was instructed to say
that she and Galea were attending
a medical conference and that none
of the items they were bringing in
were for treating patients, the doc-
uments say. Galea said its good
that Catalano is cooperating.
HGH allegations against Galea continue, despite claims of innocence

Bannister struggles
to keep hitters from
getting home runs
AssociAted Press
TEMPE, Ariz. Torii Hunter
hit his first two homers of spring,
Hideki Matsui connected for the
first time and Mike Napoli for
his fifth, and the Los Angeles
Angels beat a
split squad of
Kansas City
Royals 8-6 on
We d n e s d a y
using what will
likely be their
opening day
lineup.
This is a
lineup youll
see at some
point in the season, Angels man-
ager Mike Scioscia said. This is a
lineup were excited about. These
next eight to 10 days well get a
little idea of the continuity in the
workings. If we dont juggle it
from here its a lineup that makes
sense.
The lineup Wednesday had
Erick Aybar batting leadoff hitter
and Brandon Wood starting at
third base, with Maicer Izturis in
a utility role.
The loss of Chone Figgins to
Seattle via free agency left the
leadoff spot and third base open.
Izturis figured to compete with
Aybar for the leadoff spot and was
a candidate to start at third.
Bobby Abreu hit second fol-
lowed by Hunter, Matsui, Kendry
Morales and Juan Rivera with
Howie Kendrick, Napoli and
Wood making up the bottom
third of the order.
Angels right-hander Joel
Pineiro allowed five hits and a
walk in five scoreless innings, his
fourth spring start.
In his last outing against
Milwaukee, Pineiro rebounded
from a rough start to allow five
hits and two earned runs over
four innings.
Royals starter Bannister allowed
six hits and
five runs over
four innings
with three
walks and two
strikeouts.
I was
pretty down
on myself
because of the
way I pitched
to Torii,
Bannister said. I let Torii beat
me. I gave him a couple of pitches
to hit and, obviously, hes swing-
ing the bat really well and he
didnt miss them. That was pretty
disappointing the way I pitched
to him.
This was a good test for me.
Its going to be their opening-day
lineup, Bannister added.
In his previous start, Bannister
threw four shutout innings and
gave up only two hits to Arizona.
He went 7-12 with a 4.73 ERA
in 26 starts for the Royals in
2009 before was shut down in
September with shoulder fatigue.
Hunters second homer in the
third inning traveled completely
out of the ballpark in left-center
field.

MILWAUKEE Rookie Jrue
Holiday had 15 points and seven
assists, leading the Philadelphia
76ers to a 101-86 victory over the
Bucks on Wednesday night that
snapped Milwaukees longest home
winning streak in six years at eight
games.
It was a dismal display for
Milwaukee, which had won 15 of
the last 17 to virtually assure a
postseason berth for the first time
since 2006.
Instead, Samuel Dalembert had
12 points and 10 rebounds, Willie
Green scored 16 points and Andre
Iguodala 14 as the Sixers poured
it on for their third win in the last
16 games.
Jerry Stackhouse scored 15
points and rookie Brandon
Jennings added 12 for Milwaukee,
but the Bucks shot 5 of 28 from
3-point range and led only once in
the game, 3-0.
Milwaukee, in fifth place in the
Eastern Conference, had last won
eight straight at
home during a
10-game streak
in 2004, and its
15-2 record was
its best stretch
in 28 years.
But this
squad thats
made its repu-
tation on tough
defense and a
grinding pace
of play showed neither against the
Sixers. Instead, the Bucks settled
for long jump shots and allowed
Philadelphia to score at will.
There was no need to Fear the
Deer the buzz phrase thats
caught on here because these
Bucks looked exactly like the team
thats won 38 percent of its games
in the last five seasons and finished
last in the Central Division each
time.
J o h n
Salmons, whod
been averag-
ing 20.5 points
since a trade to
Milwaukee at
the deadline,
went 2 of 12 for
four points in
30 minutes after
playing an aver-
age of 43 min-
utes in the previous four games.
The Sixers, who were formally
eliminated from the postseason
after Mondays games, shot 52.6
percent from the field.
The lack of energy was never
more apparent than midway
through the third quarter, when
Carlos Delfino lost the ball fall-
ing flat on his back in the lane.
Iguodala took the outlet pass and
found Dalembert for an easy dunk
that gave this Sixers a 71-54 lead.
A few minutes later, Stackhouse
blocked a shot that earned cheers
from the crowd, but Charlie Bell
immediately lost the ball and
Iguodala had a thunderous dunk
that made it 81-63 to end the
third.
By that point, the Sixers, in the
midst of their worst season in over
a decade, couldve easily been up
even more.
Jennings hit a 3-pointer to open
the game, but Milwaukee never led
again and missed its next 14 tries
from beyond the arc.
Bucks lose winning streak at home
NBA
It was a dismal display
for Milwaukee, which
had won 15 of the last
17 to virtually assure a
postseason berth for the
frst time since 2006.
Red Wings could go
to 19th postseason
DeTROIT Valtteri Filppula
scored with 6:49 left and added an
empty-net goal, lifting the Detroit
Red Wings to a 4-2 victory over
the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday
night.
The Red Wings padded their
lead to four points over calgary
for the last spot in the Western
conference playofs with their
sixth win in seven games. St. Louis
moved a step closer toward being
eliminated from the race with its
fourth loss in six games.
Detroits Jimmy Howard made
30 saves, and former Red Wing Ty
conklin stopped 20 shots.
Henrik Zetterberg and Todd
Bertuzzi scored for the Red Wings,
9-2-1 since the Olympic break.
Paul Kariya put St. Louis ahead in
the frst and Jay Mcclement made
it 2-all early in the third.
The Red Wings have been
playing their best hockey during
their rebuilding season, improv-
ing their chances of making it to
a 19th straight postseason and
extending the longest such streak
in sports.
St. Louis is 10 points behind
Detroit and there are two teams
calgary and Dallas between
the central Division teams.
Kariya got the Blues of to a
good start, splitting defenseman
with speed and ficking a shot
between Howards pads 5:39 into
the game.
Zetterberg, who has been
Detroits best player lately, scored
his 23rd goal 26 seconds into the
second period and Bertuzzi was
credited with a goal that went of
his leg and stood after review at
the 4:35 mark of the second.
conklin made some saves to
keep the Blues in the game and
got a break with Pavel Datsyuks
breakaway shot went just above
the net, then Mcclement made it
2-all less than a minute later.
Brian Rafalski set up the go-
ahead goal by simply ficking
a shot from center ice and it
bounced of conklin. Filppula
swooped in to get the puck and
scored on a backhander.
NOTeS: conklin played for De-
troit last season as a backup, but
wasnt re-signed to pave the way
for Howard, who has emerged as
a Rookie of the Year contender.
.. During the frst intermission,
boxers Andre Dirrell and Arthur
Abraham were introduced to
promote their Super Six World
Boxing classic matchup on Satur-
day at Joe Louis Arena.

NEW ORLEANS LeBron
James scored an efficient 38 points
on 15 of 22 shooting to go with
nine assists, and the Cleveland
Cavaliers won their eighth straight
game, 105-92 over the New
Orleans Hornets on Wednesday
night.
J.J. Hickson scored 20 for the
Cavs, who led by as many as 17
and never trailed after James
floater tied it at 10 in the first
quarter. Delonte West added 15
points and Antawn Jamison had
11 points and 11 rebounds as
Cleveland won its 27th straight
over a team with a losing record.
Marcus Thornton scored 20
points and Darren Collison added
17 for the Hornets, who will be
eliminated from the playoffs if
Portland wins on Thursday. David
West added 16 points, while Chris
Paul struggled in his second game
back from a left knee injury, fin-
ishing with five points and seven
assists in 32 minutes.
Cleveland opened up a 17-point
lead with a dominant third quar-
ter, a stretch during which James
assumed the role of play-maker,
scoring only five of his points but
dishing out five assists.
Hickson scored 11 points in
the quarter on five layups, one of
which he converted into a three-
point play. Jamison scored nine
points during the period and
Mo Williams tough fade over
Collison made it 81-64 with 2:32
left in the quarter.
Still trailing by 17 midway
through the final period, the
Hornets got the lead down to
96-86 with 4:22 left, then James
quickly squashed any notion of a
comeback.
He hit a tough left-handed driv-
ing floater off the glass, and after
Pauls missed 3, James drew a foul
and hit both free throws.
The Cavs shot 57.1 percent,
helped by James good shooting
as well as Hickson going 9 of 11
and Delonte West going 7 of 11.
Cleveland outscored New Orleans
58-36 inside and also outrebound-
ed New Orleans 40-37.
Cleveland (57-15), which
currently holds the best overall
record in the NBA, also improved
to a league-best 26-11 away from
home with another road game
coming up at San Antonio on
Friday night.
James scored 12 points in the
first quarter on an array of jump-
ers and acrobatic driving floaters,
including one while his momen-
tum was angling away from the
basket. There were none of his
signature slam dunks, but he set
up two jams by Anderson Varejao,
one on a no-look pass and another
after he intercepted Pauls pass
and led the break the other way.
Delonte West scored seven
points in the first couple min-
utes of the second quarter as the
Cavaliers lead grew to 10. The
Hornets kept the game competi-
tive in the first half though, with
Thornton scoring nine during
the second quarter after being
shut out by the tough defense of
Anthony Parker in the first 12
minutes.
New Orleans tied it at 44 when
Paul found West for a dunk, but
then Cleveland surged ahead for
good.
James then hit a short jumper
and dunked an alley-oop feed
from Williams, then later hit a
tough driving floater over James
Posey and off the glass after beat-
ing Thornton on the dribble.
That gave the Cavs a 52-48 lead
that stuck until halftime.

Rumors of McNabb
trade are not true
ST. LOUIS Reports that the
St. Louis Rams are trying to ac-
quire Philadelphia eagles quar-
terback Donovan McNabb are
untrue, according to a person
familiar with the teams plans.
Media outlets in Philadelphia
on Wednesday reported the
Rams had ofered a second-
round draft pick and safety Os-
hiomoghe Atogwe for McNabb.
The source told The AP that the
reports were unfounded.
Atogwe is coming of
shoulder surgery and ended
the season on injured reserve.
He would have to sign a tender
ofer before the Rams could
trade him.

If the Jayhawks find them-
selves in a fiasco similar to last
seasons final seconds against
the Redbirds, they wont have
McCray to pass to by default.
However, the absence of the Big
12 preseason player of the year
could actually be a blessing in
disguise.
They can lean on me, Carolyn
or anybody. Anybody can seal
the deal by shooting a three, get-
ting an and-one or even a layup,
senior guard Sade Morris said.
Henrickson, perhaps indirect-
ly, has camouflaged her plans for
the last-second shot. She holds
faith in several different options,
both inside and out.
It may come to fruition differ-
ently than last season, but after
two strong victories in the open-
ing rounds against Prairie View
A&M and Creighton, a second
consecutive season in the WNIT
championship seems fathom-
able.
Weve done it before last year.
We can do it again, Morris said.

Nicolle Lewis
Illinois State senior center Nicolle Lewis
has paced her team with 16 points per game
so far in the WNIT. During the season, Lewis
shot well over 50 percent from the feld.
Her 64 blocks throughout the season are
signifcantly more than Jayhawk sophomore
forward Aishah Sutherlands team-leading 36
blocks. Lewis along with Illinois State senior
forward Ashleen Bracey, who leads her team
with 15.1 points per game, should have their
work cut out for them as they attempt to
contain Kansas impressive post players.
Opponent to watch
Key to the game
Winning in the paint
So far in Kansas two-game stint in the WNIT, it has out-scored
its opponents by an average of 12 points per game in the paint.
Davis and junior center Krysten Boogaard have led that charge by
combining to score 64 total points in victories against Prairie View
A&M and Creighton. In addition to out-scoring their opponents
in the paint, the Jayhawks have averaged 10 more rebounds per
game in the WNIT than their opponents.
Andrew Taylor
Keep an eye on
Carolyn Davis
Freshman forward Carolyn Davis is poised
to play in her second straight game. She
hasnt accomplished that feat since games
against Baylor and Nebraska on Feb. 28 and
March 3, as multiple injuries have limited
her playing time. In those two games, she
averaged just over seven points. In the two
games she has played since then, she has
upped that average to 28 points while also
corralling 11.5 rebounds per game. Davis
consistent presence in the lineup should
help guide Kansas tonight against Illinois
State.

Celtics punch return ticket
to playofs, defeat Nuggets

BY HOWARD ULMAN

BOSTON The Boston Celtics
are back in the playoffs. They want
to be playing their best when those
games start.
They were very good on
Wednesday night.
Paul Pierce scored 27 points,
Kevin Garnett added 20 and Rajon
Rondo had a triple-double as
Boston clinched a postseason berth
with a 113-99 win over the Denver
Nuggets.
It was the Celtics fifth win in
six games and began a six-game
stretch at home, where theyre just
22-12, worse than their 24-13 road
record.
We have been able to get the job
done on the road, but this is where
we eat. This is where we set our
table, Pierce said. Hopefully, we
can just start playing well in this
building and gather some momen-
tum going into the playoffs.
Pierce, who missed 10 games
with knee, foot and thumb prob-
lems, and Garnett, sidelined for 10
with a hyperextended right knee,
have been healthy for a while.
Pierce scored just five points in a
114-105 loss in Denver on Feb. 21
while playing with a sore thumb.
The Paul Pierce you saw out in
Denver wasnt the Paul Pierce that
usually shows up to play, he said.
Right now Im as healthy as Ive
been all year and this is our time to
start playing well.
The Celtics remained tied with
Atlanta for third place in the
Eastern Conference.
Im just really focused on get-
ting to the ... middle of April and
being at our best for the playoffs,
Boston coach Doc Rivers said.
The Celtics dominated inside
and the Nuggets, one day after
losing to the Knicks in New York,
slipped a half-game behind the
Dallas Mavericks and into a third-
place tie with Utah in the Western
Conference with their third con-
secutive loss.
Boston led by
21 points twice
in the third
quarter before
Denver cut the
lead to 87-80
going into the
fourth. But the
Celtics stayed
ahead by seven
to 16 the rest of
the way.
Rondo had 11 points, 15 assists
and 11 rebounds.
Carmelo Anthony led Denver
with 32 points and J.R. Smith
added 21.
The Celtics played aggressive-
ly from the start, beginning with
Garnetts dunk on an alley-oop pass
from Kendrick Perkins for the first
basket of the game. Capitalizing
on the absence of defensive star
Kenyon Martin, who missed his
11th consecutive game with left
knee tendinitis, Boston scored 58
points in the paint.
Weve been talking about it the
last four or five games, Denver
acting head coach Adrian Dantley
said. They got points in the paint.
They outhustled us on the boards.
Denver coach George Karl
missed his ninth game since
announcing that he had been diag-
nosed with cancer. The Nuggets
are 5-4 in that span. Karl has had
treatment for throat and neck can-
cer and was hospitalized this week
with blood clots in his lungs and a
leg, according to a blog by his girl-
friend, Kim Van
Deraa.
Its tough
playing without
your head coach
and the guy
(Martin) that
has the biggest
presence and
the biggest voice
on the team,
C h a u n c e y
Billups said.
There is nobody stressing on it.
We just have to man up and get
ourselves through it.
Denver is just 17-19 on the road
with four games left on the cur-
rent trip.
The Celtics strong inside pres-
ence and attacking style were just
two positive signs. The win was
their fourth straight at home, where
they began a season-long six-game
homestand in 12 days, culminating
with a Sunday afternoon meeting
with the Cleveland Cavaliers on
April 4.

Right now I'm as healthy
as I've been all year, and
this is our time to start
playing well.

A Friend Dies. Who Cares?
Toxic drinking is an epidemic on
campuses all across America.
It means consuming so much alcohol
the drinker passes out. But while sleeping
it off, the victim may be quietly dying.
When you come right down to it, students
themselves are the best ones to tackle
this problem. So, in growing numbers,
Stony Brook students have joined together
in the Red Watch Band movement.
Working with experts, they fine-tuned a
course in techniques to handle these
alcohol emergencies. Red Watch Band
members can act fast, when every second
counts. They know the quick steps they
can take to rescue a passed-out student
from a drinking death, and can immediately
summon professional help. Everyone
completing the course is given the
dis tinctive red watch for identification.
Since its inception at Stony Brook
University in March 2009, approximately
40 schools across the country have signed
on to implement this lifesaving program.

Pitching staf appears to be jelling
BY ANDREW HAMMOND
ahammond@kansan.com
Once again, the Kansas pitch-
ing staff put together a solid per-
formance, allowing one hit in a
16-0 rain-shortened victory against
Baker Wednesday. In its final game
before the conference opener at
Baylor Friday, Kansas pitching staff
appears to be coming together.
I feel good about the pitching,
coach Ritch Price said. Weve had
seven or eight quality starts before
our struggles at St. Louis.
In two games against St. Louis
on March 20, Kansas pitchers
surrendered 20 runs. In the two
games since then, the Jayhawks
have allowed only four runs.
Starting pitcher Thomas Taylor
picked up his second victory of the
season. He pitched three innings
during a rain-soaked game.
This marks the second consecu-
tive outing where Taylor has been
solid. He pitched five innings and
struck out five against Tulane on
March 17. Taylor said he could
sense that the pitching staff was
coming together before a pivotal
conference opener at Baylor.
Were getting a lot better and
starting to get into a groove, Taylor
said. Im becoming more confi-
dent and relaxed on the mound.
With the bullpen consisting
of Taylor, Tanner Poppe, Travis
Blankenship and Brett Bochy, the
Jayhawks are looking for success
with mid-and late-game situations.
And that all starts with Bochy,
who has established himself as the
closer for the Jayhawks this season
by being effective late in games.
Bochy leads the team in saves
and picked up the 5-4 victory
against Creighton Tuesday.
As far as starting pitching, T.J.
Walz and Cameron Selik have been
solid and Brett Bollman is filling in
nicely for Lee Ridenhour, who is
still recovering after ankle surgery.
The Jayhawks will certainly find
out more about their pitching rota-
tion now that conference play is set
to begin.
Our rotation looks pretty set at
this point in the season, Price said.
Bollman looks to be our third
starter. Poppe and Taylor have
pitched well, but Brett has experi-
ence and in our conference you
need that, and I believe hes ready.

Key inning
Stat of the night
The ffth
With the game well in hand, kansas only concern was being
washed out by the rain. But the rain held up just long enough for
redshirt sophomore Jordan Jakubov to retire Baker in the top half
of the ffth inning, ofcially ending the game and sealing the vic-
tory for the Jayhawks.
With three bat-
ters getting hit by a
pitch against Baker,
kansas season total is up to 36 on the year. The
all-time kansas record for hit batsmen in a season
is 1991, recorded in the 2005-06 season.

Game to remember
Elgie
Sophomore frst baseman Zac Elgie
Mired in a season-long slump, Elgie had ex-
actly the game he needed. He enjoyed a three-
for-three evening with a single, a triple and his
frst home run of the season. Elgie also scored
a pair of runs and drove in four more. Though
senior Brett Lisher has seemingly locked up the
role as the everyday frst baseman, having Elgie
producing to his potential will be a huge boost
for kansas ofense.

Game notes
n First time for everything
In the fourth inning, junior
third baseman Tony Thomp-
son recorded his frst hit of the
season, a three-run triple to
deep right-center feld. The triple
wasnt merely his frst hit of the
season. Thompson, who has put
eye-popping ofensive numbers
during his Jayhawk career, had
never hit a triple before last
night.
nDont walk
Redshirt freshman pitcher
Thomas Taylor got another start
for kansas, and despite earning
the victory with his three hitless
innings of work, struggled with
his control. Taylor issued three
walks in the game, which upset
coach Ritch Price, who said the
youngster still needed to have
better command of the strike
zone as he did in his start against
Tulane.
He has to let our defense play
behind him, Price said. If you
walk guys, you set the table for
crooked number innings in our
league. Thats the next step in
his development is to eliminate
the walks and eliminate being
behind in the count.
Howard Ting/KaNSaN
Junior infelder Tony Thompson lands a hit with loaded bases during the rain-shortened game against Baker University Wednesday. Thompson fnished the game with four RBIs, which led the
Jayhawks to a 16-0 victory against Baker University, their seventh victory of this season.
Game to forget
The Baker pitching staf
The Wildcats were woefully undermatched against the Jayhawk
hitters, who teed of on virtually every pitch thrown over the plate.
When kansas wasnt putting on a hitting display, the Baker hurlers
couldnt fnd the zone; they issued seven walks and hit three bat-
ters.
In perspective
Elgie's big game
If Elgies big game can fully bring him out of
his slump, kansas will have yet another ofensive
weapon in its arsenal. With Thompson back and
Elgie producing to his potential, the Jayhawks are
that much more powerful one-through-nine in the
batting order and even deeper on the bench.
