Q&a with Connie Schultz
LIvINg IN LImbO
August 2009
T
he cop approaches Javiers car.
Hes sheer bulk confined in a
brown uniform.
Javier is sick with fear. How
could he have missed the speed trap? He
knows whats at stake. Hes 19 years old,
a freshman from Kansas City, Kan., but
hes also here illegally, undocumented. If
this cop finds out his secret, Javier could
be arrested and shipped back to Mexico,
a country he hasnt seen since he was 5
years old.
Javier, whose name has been changed
to protect his identity, frantically plans
what hell say as he watches the cop draw
nearer in the rearview mirror. He steps
closer to the black VW Golf and gazes in
at Javier.
License and registration?
Javier feels his hands trembling. He has
no license because he is undocumented.
On paper, he doesnt exist. He tries to
play it cool and hands the officer his reg-
istration and insurance.
And your license? the officer says.
Javier tries to calm his voice as he tells
the cop what he will discover anyway.
I dont have one.
And then the lie.
I never got around to it.
The officer asks for some form of ID.
Javier hands him his KU ID, newly print-
ed at orientation. The officer stares at it.
Javier holds his breath.
Youd better call someone to pick you
up.
The cop walks away, Javiers ID in
hand. Relief floods over him. His dream
is still alive.

Raul stumbles out of the bus and onto
the asphalt. His bruised wrists ache from
being handcuffed to another man during
the long journey from the jail in Missouri
where he was detained.
Guards with guns drawn toss the mens
belongings to the ground in plastic trash
bags. Raul scrambles for his Bible, draw-
ings of his godson and his $40 prison
check, his parting gift from the U.S. gov-
ernment to start a new life in Mexico.
It is a year and a half and 750 miles
from Rauls 2007 graduation from the
University. In that faraway life, he was
the radiant example of success against all
odds a student senator, the first in his
family to earn a college degree. Even now,
as Raul stands at the Mexican border,
his face beams from the Latino recruit-
ment poster used by KU Admissions.
On the poster, he is pictured below text
in Spanish that reads: You Have a Home
Here.
Then-Provost Richard Lariviere deliv-
ered an impassioned speech for diversity,
using Rauls story as a shining example:
how he came from a poor family and
worked full time to both support them
and pay for his education, earning a
degree in psychology.
We must repeat his story thousands of
times, Lariviere told faculty.
Lariviere and those who heard that
speech didnt know that Raul, who came
to the United States with his family
in search of the American dream, was
undocumented.
That dream crumbled into a nightmare
only a year and a half after he walked
down the hill at graduation. This time,
he would walk across a bridge over the
Rio Grande to another country and
another life.
For Raul, life in limbo had ended.
nnn
Each year, more than 65,000 undocu-
mented students like Javier and Raul
graduate from high schools in the United
States. These students live in limbo: They
grow up American, yet are not legal resi-
dents.
In Kansas, undocumented students
can go to college. But in some states,
including Missouri, it is illegal to attend
public universities. Undocumented stu-
dents cant get Social Security numbers
to work legally, drivers licenses or col-
lege scholarships. They live in constant
fear of deportation to countries that they
dont remember.
For students like Javier, living in limbo
means that any at second, life as he
knows it could be snatched away, as when
Raul was sent back to Mexico.
I was born there, but its not my
home, Javier said.

papers. After living here for 15
years, they still live every day
with the risk of deportation.

KU Farm
group still

By nanCy WolenS

Te plan seemed tangible: re-
search, organize and ultimately
create a farm to cultivate food and
sell it to KU Dining.
KU Student Farm, an organi-
zation started by students in the
Environmental Capstone course,
has had to jump over some unex-
pected hurdles throughout the se-
mester, and the project is now up
in the air.
Lack of support, unavailable
funding and an absence of future
leadership has lef KU Student
Farm at a near standstill.
Ben Alexander, vice president of
KU Student Farm, said the lack of
support wasnt coming from stu-
dents, however.
Tere are a lot of students that
are really enthusiastic about this
and want to be involved, said Al-
exander, a senior from Lenexa. Its
a lack of support from the admin-
istration, and so far we dont have
funding.
KU Student Farm was denied
funding by Student Senate on
March 10. Te organization asked

Students had the opportunity to
ask questions about Christianity
Wednesday night in a forum called
Ask A Christian A Question. The
program, based on the annual Ask
a Black Person a Question event,
was meant to create an informal
but safe atmosphere for people to
discuss ideas about Christianity
and the Bible.
Taylor Scott, a senior from
Wichita, organized the event in
Ellsworth Hall, where he is a resi-
dent assistant.
I feel that religion in general
is somewhat a taboo topic across
KUs campus, yet an important
one that should be discussed,
Scott said. So I planned this pro-
gram as an outlet to start that
conversation.
Scott hosted the event last year,
and after feedback from panelists
and attendees, he decided that it

Woman bites mans ear
after being called fat
LINCOLN, Neb. Police say a 24-year-
old man is missing a chunk of his right ear
that was bitten of by a woman who didnt
like being called fat. Police spokeswoman
Katie Flood said ofcers were called to a
Lincoln hospital around 3:25 a.m. Wednes-
day to talk to the injured man.
He told them that hed been bitten at a
party.
Flood said ofcers later learned that
the injured man and two others had been
arguing with other people at the birthday
party. Flood said the man told 21-year-old
Anna Godfrey that she was fat.
Ofcers said Godfrey then tackled the
man and took a bite.
Flood said the ear chunk was not found.
Godfrey was arrested on suspicion of
felony assault and remained in custody
Wednesday. Case records dont yet list her
attorneys name.
Barefoot man challenges
public places shoe rules
COLUMBUS, Ohio A man is battling
the Ohio Statehouse over the right to bare
feet. Bob Neinast said his feet hurt when
he wears shoes, so he goes barefoot nearly
everywhere, even in winter. The man from
the Columbus suburb of Pickerington calls
it a healthy lifestyle that makes him feel
closer to places he visits.
When he tried to go shoeless in the
Ohio capitol recently, he was stopped by
an ofcer who said Neinast was violating
the rules.
Ofcials have since learned that there
is no such rule against bare feet in the
Statehouse. Spokesman Gregg Dodd said
the Statehouse board is now considering a
ban and plans to hold a public hearing.
Neinast previously lost a lawsuit against
the Columbus public librarys no-bare-feet
policy.
Teen discovers TNT shell
while mowing the lawn
HOOPER, Utah A 17-year-old Utah
boy mowing the lawn at his home in
Hooper ran into a canister of TNT that may
date back as far as World War II. Taylor
Wood was mowing the pasture behind the
family home on Sunday and heard a thud.
He then saw a canister that said TNT shell
on the side.
His mother, Charise Wood, described
the canister as looking like a small can of
tomato paste. She quickly called emer-
gency crews.
Charise Wood said the family has lived
in the home for seven years but had never
mowed that area of pasture because they
had let horses eat down the grass. Now
the family has goats that arent interested
in that area.
The Weber County sherifs department
took the canister for disposal.
Armed robber masks face
using only toilet paper
LINCOLN, Neb. A man who concealed
his face by wrapping his head with toilet
paper robbed a Lincoln convenience store.
Police said the man was armed with a knife
when he robbed the store around 10:30 on
Saturday night. He escaped on foot with
an undisclosed amount of money from
the safe.

Woman denies fring
gun to break up party
KENNEWICK, Wash. Police
said they arrested a 66-year-old
woman accused of fring a gun
into the air to break up her neigh-
bors backyard party. The woman
was booked into the Benton
County jail for investigation of un-
lawfully discharging a weapon in
the city limits. Police were called
to her home Sunday night after
neighbors reported a shot being
fred into the air.
The woman told police she was
upset about the party but said
she only smacked a frying pan on
a wooden fence.
Ofcers said she denied even
owning a gun, but they said they
found a loaded .32-caliber der-
ringer in a kitchen cupboard.

ter meter, all the tools they would
need and some perennial plants
they hoped to put in.
Alexander said now that the
groups proposal was declined and
that members were lef with about
$228. Of that, $28 was donated at
the Kaw Valley Seed Fair and as a
student group, the team automati-
cally receives $200 from Senate.
Tis puts the group in a tight
spot.
Jason Hering, a senior from
Hutchinson and president of KU
Student Farm, said fnding a plot of
land was also difcult. Te group
ended up receiving a portion of
land with a research project the Bi-
ological Survey is working on that
is funded by the Kansas University
Endowment Association.
Its controlled by a project with
diferent goals than ours, which
houses a lot of sources of confict,
Alexander said.
Tom Cox, a graduate senator
from Shawnee, said the fnance
committee was concerned that it
was too large and extensive of a
project and that the research facil-
ity would also be beneftting from
it.
Te same research group that
donated its land to the farm would
end up using the water meter, Cox
said of the fnance committees
concern. Tey were afraid that
Endowment would one day decide
to take the land back and not reim-
burse us for the water meter.
Cox said he thought there was
a good chance KU Student Farm
would get funding next semester
afer they submit a more detailed
proposal to Senate and attempt to
fnd another source of land.
Another difculty of the farms
transition is that Hering and Al-
exander, the leaders of the organi-
zation, will both be gone through
the summer, and Alexander will
graduate.
Alexander said they
had numerous interns
and volunteers who
were available this
summer to continue
the project, but that
there would be no
true leadership for the
team. If they were to
fnd someone to lead
it, KU Student Farm
would still need to
fnd another source of funding to
pay that position, he said.
Its hard to convince University
administration to let us use land
that may be poorly maintained.
Alexander said. Its hard to do a
project like this without someone
responsible for it.
Hering said volunteers and in-
terns for Student Farm had already
begun planting peppers, fowers,
onions, tomatoes, leeks and cab-
bage in the greenhouse on West
Campus. If things dont pan out the
way they hope,
they will donate
the plants to
another cause
in Lawrence, he
said.
A l t h o u g h
Alexander is
di s appoi nt ed
with how plans
for KU Student
Farm has gone
thus far, he said
some pieces of the project would
hopefully still happen because of
the progress they had made thus
far and that next year the organi-
zation would become a fully devel-
oped project.

BUILDING A FARM
Jason hering, president
of the Ku Student Farm,
said the point of the farm
was to work out a plan
with Ku dining. The group
hopes to sell the produce
on small food stands
within The Market in the
Kansas union.
hering said to have a
thriving farm, the land
needed to have certain
qualities and certain kinds
of soil depending on the
location.
If youre looking to go
of a public water source,
you need to tap into the
water mains and bring up
a water meter, which is
several thousand dollars,
hering said.
Ben Alexander, the vice
president of Ku Student
Farm, said a good thing to
focus on when beginning
a project like this is an
organically certifed or
sustainable practice of
vegetable production.
For that, you would
need a form of irrigation,
Alexander said. you really
dont need much: plants,
seeds, tools, water and
people. I think next year
things will happen.

would be beneficial to have the
event again.
About 20 students attended the
event and had the opportunity to
ask questions of three panelists,
all members of the local Christian
community: Dan Rudman, mem-
ber of Ambassadors for Christ
International; Chad Donohoe,
college ministry pastor of Grace
Evangelical Presbyterian Church
in Lawrence; and Kevin Lee, a
Christian graduate student from
Oklahoma City.
I dont believe that people
dont want to talk about it, Scott
said. I think people have a desire
to think about things bigger than
themselves. I think this program
creates an outlet where people
can come and ask deep, meaning-
ful questions about life and hope-
fully receive some answers.
For two hours, the panel-
ists discussed their beliefs and
the reasons behind them. Here
are some of the questions and
answers:
Q: Ive always taken the Bible
more as a guide. Is there any
contradiction in the Bible as you
see it? What should the Bible be
taken as, for example, things like
Noahs Ark or Adam and Eve?
Should we take them as a guide,
or were there really two of every
animal entering into a boat?
Donohoe: We believe that
the Bible is unifed in the sense
of the essence of what it com-
municates. It was inspired that
God worked through humanity
to write exactly what he wanted
to write.
Rudman: There are clearly
things in Scripture that are sym-
bolism. There are other things, as
you mentioned Adam, Eve and
Noah, that appear to be historic
accounts. Whats historic, we take
as historic, and in other places
we dont. Compared to other
religious writings in the world,
these are really kind of mundane.
Theyre not really bizarre or out
there in the sense you fnd in
other writing. There really is a
diference.
Q: I grew up taking the Bible
fairly literally. how do we know
the Bible hasnt been altered, as
far as the text, through thou-
sands of years? how do we know
besides taking it on a basis of
faith?
Rudman: Any human being
has to live with the concept of
faith, meaning trust. We all live
this way. Because we are limited
beings, we have to live this way.
God has given us overwhelming
amounts of evidence to put our
faith in. Our society thinks these
are two diferent realms. Thats
actually a philosophical idea that
I dont believe is real.
Donohoe: The claim is that
as Christians we dont have
enough evidence. But if we look
at other documents of antiquity,
we see that the highest amount
of documents is 600, and thats
for The Iliad.As Christians, with
the Bible, we have over 24,000
manuscripts. If you look at
evidence, evidence is on the side
that the Scriptures are what they
claim to be.
Lee: Even though we dont
have original evidence, the
continuity between the original
manuscripts is overwhelming.
Its pretty amazing. The transmis-
sion of those texts is incredible.
There are scientists who have
dedicated their lives to the study
of the oral transmission of parts
of Scripture. We can see that even
the authenticity of the transmis-
sion of stories in oral stages is
really, really secure.
Q: Throughout history, theres
been a confict between science
and religion. how do you mold
those two together? Whats the
line between scientifc discovery
and taking a leap of faith?
Rudman: In our society, we
have to understand that much of
science has been dominated by
a naturalistic philosophy, which
states that the only thing that
can be known is what I can sense.
Its not science, its philosophy. It
dismisses love, justice, beauty. If
you cut of my hand, what does it
mean that my hand hurts? Who
is the mebehind my hand?
Science doesnt get to those is-
sues. It cant. But it starts making
claims in those realms, stating
that its science.
Lee: From a historical per-
spective, its kind of a myth that
has run its course. Science and
religion at odds with each other
really doesnt have the historical
support we thought it had. Sci-
ence and religion have been able
to coexist very nicely. Culturally,
for us, science versus religion has
been absorbed into the culture
wars in America.

CAMPUS
Students seek internships overseas
BY ALISON CUMBOW
alisonc@kansan.com
Sports fans and students looking
for international internships in the
Spencer Art Museum Wednesday
night mingled around the tables
lining the room each desig-
nated to 12 of the 32 countries
participating in the World Cup.
Travis Kimple, a junior from
Beloit and a member of the
AIESEC public relations and
events committee, an internation-
al youth leadership organization,
said the group had internships in
countries such as Germany, Spain
and Brazil.
The event, AIECup, aimed to
help students find out more infor-
mation about international intern-
ships. In an effort to incorporate
culture and awareness as well, the
event planners of AIESEC Kansas
tied in the soccer tournament to
the job search.
What were going for is to rep-
resent countries that qualified for
the World Cup, Kimple said.
Kimple said he had interned
in Spain, and that he encouraged
students to intern abroad.
I want other people to do that,
he said.
H e r n a n
Villanueva, a
junior from
Lima, Peru,
came to the
event looking for
an international
internship.
Germany has
good technology
and engineer-
ing, he said. I
am in engineer-
ing, so I would
go for Germany.
Andrew Toth, a junior from
Colby and a member of the
AIESEC events team, said more
than 1,300 international intern-
ships were available through
AIESEC and that some started as
early as this summer.
Toth said he interned at a bank
in Germany last summer.
I got to see the business side
of things in another country that
allowed me to con-
trast that with my
experience in the
United States, he
said.
Toth said India
had many mana-
gerial internship
opportunites and
that Africa had
de ve l opme nt a l
internships avail-
able.
Each of the
tables offered facts
about a different countrys soc-
cer team as well as computers
in which students could enter
contact information for potential
internships.
William Franklin, a sopho-
more from Overland Park, stood
at the Spain table waiting to
answer questions from students
about internships there and about
the countrys potential to win the
World Cup.
I hope they gain a little more
knowledge about Spain, he said.
He said that he hadnt yet had
an international internship but
that he planned on getting one.
Toth said AIESEC had events

PART oNE: JAVIER
I
n high school, Javier felt lost. People noticed
his flashy gold Supra high tops poking out
from his school uniform khakis, but Javier
himself receded into the shadows. The skinny
kid with dark hair and glasses who speaks
English without an accent was the only undoc-
umented student at his private Catholic high
school in Kansas City, Kan. The school had
both rich and poor students, and he was from
the poorer side. His parents take pride in their
hard work that pays for their childrens edu-
cation. His father, Javier Sr., is a painter; his
mother, Ester, cleans houses. His sister, Ireri,
16, a popular girl who plays soccer and swims
for the school team, is also undocumented.
Like other undocumented teenagers, Javier
was hitting the many restrictions of his status.
He didnt have a drivers license, so he couldnt
drive. He couldnt legally work, either. He used
a fake Social Security number to get his first
job as a lifeguard at Roeland Park Aquatic
Center. The manager assumed the faulty dig-
its were a mistake and asked Javier to go
home and check it out with his parents. Javier
walked out and never went back.
It was the first time I felt like I was undocu-
mented, Javier said. It just hit me all of a sud-
den, like a wake-up call.
During his junior year, friends started talk-
ing about college. They would ask him about
his plans, and Javier would say he didnt
know.
He grew frustrated, but his mom was hope-
ful. Ester, 47, and Javier Sr., 46, came to this
country so their children could get an educa-
tion. Though they speak limited English, they
dream of success in the United States for their
children. Each night, Ester would ask Javier
how his college search was going. She was sure
there was a way for him to go.
When he visited his local college, the
University of Missouri at Kansas City, the
woman working at admissions gave a rousing
speech about how the university welcomed
people from all backgrounds. After listening,
Javier felt hopeful enough to ask if that meant
he could go too. She told him itd be illegal for
him to go to school in Missouri.
Sometimes the frustration would boil over.
His mom would insist there was a way, and
Javier would explode.
You dont know anything! he snapped at
her. You know nothing about the laws!
When he was done, Ester would calm him
in Spanish: Have faith in God.
His parents started talking about sending
him back to Mexico for college.
Javier hasnt been to Mexico since he was
5. His friends are here. His life is here. Border
enforcement is strict. If he went to Mexico, he
might never be able to return home.
That was my plan Z, Javier said.
Worry about his future consumed his
thoughts, but he found bravery through his
art.
He spray-painted a canvas his senior year
that now hangs in his bedroom. Standing
bold against diagonal blue and red stripes is
Muhammad Ali, poised and ready to fight.
Muhammad Ali wasnt scared of anything,
Javier said.
In between the lines of his own name,
Javier painstakingly stenciled: I feel anxious,
confused.
n n n
Then, in February 2009, Javier visited the
University with his friend and classmate, Juan.
Juan had already applied to the University and
wanted to major in business.
As Javier walked around the campus, he
told himself: If I could go to any school, this
is where Id go.
Now, the pair stood in a crowd of prospec-
tive students and parents outside Alderson
Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Just ask, Juan nudged Javier.
I already know its no, Javier said.
As Javier looked at his feet, he flashed back
to his visit to UMKC. Why would this be any
different?
Ask, Juan insisted.
He had known Javier since they were in
kindergarten he was used to pushing his
more reserved friend. He had already dragged
him to this visit.
Do you want me to do it? Juan said.
I dont care, said Javier, relenting so Juan
would stop asking.
Juan approached Greg Valdovino,
KUs assistant director of multicultural
recruitment.
So, I have this friend whos illegal can he
go to school here?
Only a few feet away, Javier heard the
response and couldnt believe it.
No problem, Valdovino said.
Kansas has made higher education possible
for students like Javier since 2004. Kansas is
one of only 11 states to grant in-state tuition
to undocumented students who attend high
school in state. Though opponents voiced
fears that colleges in Kansas would be inun-
dated with undocumented students, an aver-
age of only 251 students per year have received
in-state tuition because of this law since 2005,
according to the Kansas Board of Regents.
Of the 316 undocumented students who
received in-state tuition in Kansas in 2009,
only 10 attend this University, the Board of
Regents reports.
The bill, called the Kansas Dream Act,
makes the dream of a college education pos-
sible for students like Javier.
He couldnt wait to tell his mom.
n n n
When he heard his mom yell, Im home!
in Spanish, Javier bounded up the stairs from
his basement room into the kitchen.
He launched into a description of the visit
to the University. He saved the best for last:
I can go, he said in Spanish, smiling.
Ester squealed with joy and grabbed Javier,
squeezing him tight.
I told you so, Ester said in Spanish, kissing
her son.
I was happier for her than I was for me,
he recalled.
n n n
Ester called Valdovino, and he explained
everything to her in Spanish.
Javier would have to meet the same entrance
requirements as any applicant, and he wouldnt
be eligible for federal financial aid. That makes
attending the University an impossible dream
for undocumented students who fall below the
poverty line.
All Javier had to do was sign an affidavit
that he had gone to high school in Kansas and
was attempting to pursue citizenship.
Then Ester asked the question she feared
the answer to: Would Javier be safe from dis-
crimination and worse?
Valdovino explained that the law required
confidentiality. Immigration and customs
officials could not come to the University and
ask for students citizenship information.
Javier applied.
n n n
Two months later, the TV was blaring in
Ireris room, but Javiers younger sister could
still hear the sudden screams.
Visions of what might have happened cloud
her mind. She dashes into the living room.
Javier is grinning. Her mother is hopping
with excitement and yelling into the phone
in Spanish.
Lo aceptaron!
A letter lies open on the table.
Ireri starts shouting, too.
Javiers father comes in. Whats all the com-
motion? he asks his giddy family.
Javier got into KU!
Javier Sr.s eyes glisten.
Good job, son, he says.
n n n
Javier Sr.s van pulled up outside of
McCollum on move-in day. Javier was both
embarrassed and proud that the world could
see Ireris message painted across the win-
dows: KU here comes Javier.
Everyone in Javiers family wore KU gear to
move Javier into his dorm room.
Javier watched his mom. Yeah, she spoke
Spanish, but she was like every other mom
there. On move-in day, all moms flutter
around, worried. Ester was beside herself.
When the family drove away, despite his
vows not to cry, Javier Sr. was the first one in
tears.
n n n
Are you in your room? Esters voice
sounded upset.
No, said Javier. He was talking on his cell
phone, walking back from class on a sunny
October afternoon.
Call me when you are back there, his
mother requested.
Javier suddenly felt sick to his stomach.
Something bad had happened.
He called her back. His mothers 40-year-
old brother, Javiers uncle Alex, had been
murdered in Mexico.
He had been shot in the gang warfare con-
suming Mexico. The drug war killed more
than 6,000 people last year and has prompted
some security analysts to warn that Mexico is
in danger of becoming a failed state.
Alone in his McCollum room, Javier hurled
anything he could find at the wall.
His uncle had been the ladies man, the life
of the party. He made everybody laugh. He
had just settled down he was married, just
had his second baby. Now, he was gone.
Undocumented, the family couldnt go to
Mexico for the funeral. If they did, they might
never be able to return to the United States.
In recent years, the Department of Homeland
Security has put up 44 miles of tall fencing
dividing the Juarez Valley from Texas and has
doubled the number of Border Patrol agents.
n n n
Sometimes, Javier thinks about being
deported and about the violence in Mexico.
Chihuahua, the Mexican state south of
Texas where his family lives, is terrorized by
the narcotics war.
When he talks to his grandmother on
the phone, she describes hearing the pop of
AK-47s firing outside her window.
Javier worries most about having to build
an entirely new life in Mexico. His grand-
mother, aunts and uncles live in a tiny city in
the desert.
Itd be like starting over in a foreign coun-
try, he said.
He also worries about losing the relation-
ships he has here. He started dating his first
steady girlfriend during his senior year of high
school. A year later, he is still dating Haley,
the blonde and bubbly girl who charmed his
family at his sisters quinceera, the celebration
that marks a young Latinas 15th birthday and
her corresponding transition to adulthood.
The only gringa at the party, Haley kicked up
her heels with his family and stayed to clean
up afterward.
That night, he had his friends sneak outside
to scrawl a prom invitation across the wind-
shield of Haleys car. They started dating the
day after prom.
Haley is from the right side of the tracks.
Her parents are professionals. Before Javier,
she had never known someone who was
undocumented.
My parents have always raised me to be
open minded and aware of other people, she
said.
The summer after they started dating, they
talked about the big what if what if Javier
got deported? Javier tried to play it cool, like
he wasnt scared so he could convince her it
wasnt a problem.
But Haley worries.
Its definitely in the back of your mind
you know, what if this happened, she said.
Her voice catches. She regains composure
and says, People think its hard to do long
distance relationships in college. Well, its even
harder in another country.
Javier knows Haley will be there for him. In
his darkest hours, Javier plans how he might
get back to her if was deported.
n n n
Javier knows there is no practical way to
legalize his status. His family came in 1995 on
tourist visas. The visas expired, but the family
stayed.
When Javier turned 18, he became an unlaw-
ful resident of the United States. Unlawful
presence, which begins only when a person
becomes a legal adult, is what typically bars a
person from changing his visa status.
Javiers only hope to change his status would
be if he had a spouse or a child who was a U.S.
citizen.
The proposed DREAM Act could allow him
legal status.
DREAM, an acronym for the Development,
Relief and Education Act for Alien Minors,
is bipartisan legislation that addresses the
plight of young people who immigrated as
undocumented children, grew up here, stayed
in school and kept out of trouble.
Introduced in 2001, it stalled in Congress in
2003 and again in 2007. In March 2009, it was
reintroduced.
Javier holds out for that slim hope.
n n n
Javier goes home to Kansas City most week-
ends to see his family and Haley, a freshman
at Rockhurst. She keeps him motivated when
the barriers of being undocumented trip him
up, whether it is the embarrassment of having
Haley drive everywhere even though she says
she doesnt mind, the pain of his uncles death
and the separation from his family in Mexico,
or the possibility that he could be deported.
Haley is a regular visitor at the tidy burnt
orange bungalow that stands out from the
muted white and grey of its neighbors. In a
row of yards where weeds compete with trash,
the neatness of Javier Sr., and Esters enclosed
lawn seems to gleam.
On the front of the house, a small sign pro-
claims, Jayhawk fans live here.
Inside, Ester flips hot tortillas onto plates.
She fusses over her children and husband,
making sure everyone has enough to eat.
Javier tells his father a story in between heap-
ing bites of menudo, a traditional Mexican
soup. Ireri glances up from her phone to grin
at her brother. The family is talking and laugh-
ing, but living in limbo, not knowing when the
life they have here could end.

PART TWo: RAUL
R
aul is disoriented as he stands next to the
bus. Its September 2008, and he is miles
away from anyone or anything he knows,
staring at the bridge before him.
It begins to rain.
The 75 deportees pass through border
check-in points small structures that
resemble tollbooths and then onto Del Ro-
Ciudad Acua International Bridge. It crosses
over the Rio Grande and connects, yet divides,
two countries, two worlds.
Raul tries to move quickly: He doesnt want
to get wet, and he doesnt want to get left
behind. Gang members are lurking across the
border, waiting to rob any stragglers. Its hard
to keep up the guards took his shoelaces
and his belt.
For a minute, Raul pauses. One chapter of
his life is over. As the rain pelts his back and
he walks back into Mexico, he thinks, I have to
change my plan completely.
n n n
Not so long before, Rauls plan had been
different.
Raul, now 26, graduated from the University
in 2007 with high hopes and frequent worries.
He wanted to get a masters degree, but he was
worried about finding a good job, about caring
for his family. One day, he wanted to take his
godson to visit his homeland of Mexico.
He never dreamed his arrival back in Mexico
would be like this: dropped at the border after
being arrested at his workplace in Olathe and
deported five months later.
n n n
These days, it is hard for Raul to remember
his life in Lawrence.
But people here remember him.
His mentor, Juan Izaguirre, assistant direc-
tor of the Multicultural Resource Center,
remembers Raul as the first to volunteer for
activities even if it meant moving around
shifts at work.
Friends remember him as always on the
go as he balanced responsibilities and his
academics, his job, his family, his friends and
his fraternity.
After the Provosts speech praising him,
those who didnt know Raul now did. Yeah, he
was quiet, but he had flair. He was the kid who
went to a U.S. Hispanic Leadership Institute
Conference wearing a sherbet green suit. He
had a leather jacket decorated with fake $100
bills. He wore sparkling earrings he insisted
were diamonds. Friends called him Flash or
Speed Racer. Even people who didnt know
him personally knew his hair shaved in
intricate designs.
But few knew his whole story.
n n n
In 1999, when Raul was 16, his parents
started talking about making the journey
North.
His father had worked as a salesman for the
Sabritas potato chip plant in Tijuana, a rough
industrial border town in northern Mexico
close to San Diego, but he lost the benefits
that would help him pay for Rauls higher
education.
Education had almost mythical qualities
for the Rauls family. His parents finished only
middle school and were sure they struggled in
life because they were uneducated. More than
anything, they wanted a better life for their
children.
Raul didnt want to move to a foreign land
where he was sure people would look down on
him because he couldnt speak English.
He didnt know his parents were serious
about the move until they started selling the
familys belongings.
Then, he asked his mother: Why are we
going?
Because we are a family, she said, and
families stick together.
Raul started studying English.
The family crossed using tourist visas. His
parents decided on Kansas and moved to
Kansas City, Kan., with their four children:
Raul, his younger brothers Hugo and Sergio,
and his sister Claudette.
Raul learned English quickly at a rough
urban school in an industrial area of Kansas
City, Kan. His first quarter, he enrolled in
every English as a Second Language class he
could. By the beginning of the second quarter
he was enrolled in regular English classes. He
graduated with a 3.98 GPA and went on to
Johnson County Community College for the
2001-2002 school year. There, he first learned
how fragile his dream was.
n n n
Its expired, the customs agent at the Dallas/
Fort Worth International Airport stated, hold-
ing Rauls passport and staring at him.
Raul was shocked. It hadnt been a problem
on the way down. He had spent two weeks
on a service trip to Jalisco, Mexico, through
Johnson County Community College. The
students volunteered at a community of low-
income families called Las Pintas. They need-
ed an interpreter, and Raul, eager to help, had
signed up.
On the way down, his passport and tourist
visa were no problem.
But during the trip, his passport had expired,
and Raul could no longer legally enter the
United States.
Authorities separated Raul from the other
students and took him into custody. There, he
signed a voluntary deportation form and was
placed on the next flight back to Jalisco.
Frustrated, alone and 19 years old, he cried
the entire flight.
n n n
Trapped in Mexico, Raul had only two
thoughts on his mind: his family and his
education. He worried about his brothers. His
parents worked more than 80 hours a week at
two jobs, and Raul had acted as a father figure
to Hugo and Sergio. He knew the family was
hurting without his income and guidance.
He decided to make the journey back. He
tried to go legally first by applying for a visa,
but it was denied.
The only other option was crossing ille-
gally. Desperate to go home, Raul paid a
coyote, a guide who transports undocument-
ed migrants, to lead him across the desert
that spans the border between the U.S. and
Mexico.
Raul remembers the desert as dark and
cold. They traveled at night, and he wasnt able
to sleep for almost a week. In the middle of his
journey, he was robbed of the only money he
was carrying 20 pesos, roughly equivalent
to $2. Border Patrol officials, la migra, arrested
some members of his group, but Raul ran
without looking back and escaped capture.
Raul kept thinking about his family, know-
ing that his mom would suffer if he didnt
make it. He thought about his education. He
had visited the University during high school
and thought he was destined to go there.
n n n
Raul made it back and enrolled in fall
2003. Then, in the spring of 2004, his father
was deported. Raul dropped out of school
and worked 75 hours a week to support his
family.
He returned to the University in spring
2005, when his father re-entered the United
States. Raul thrived in the classroom, yet he
continued to work two jobs. He slept as little
as two hours a night.
I was born and raised to work physically
until I drop dead tired, Raul said. Thats how
my mom and dad work.
Even though he was juggling family, aca-
demic and job responsibilities, he was active
in Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity, the
International Student Association and the
Hispanic American Leadership Organization.
He practiced step dancing, a vibrant form of
dance traditional to many Hispanic and black
fraternities and performed in the University
step show for three years.
He was an inspiration to his friends.
He helped us, whether he knew it or not, in
that way that we looked at him and said if
he can do it, so can we, said Eloy Gallegos, a
KU alumnus and a 2008 graduate and Rauls
friend. He helped us indirectly with his atti-
tude and his character. Hed make us laugh all
the time. I dont ever remember him saying,
No, this cannot be done.
Rauls family came to his graduation in
May 2007. Raul felt happy, proud, success-
ful everything a graduate should feel. He
also felt a huge responsibility as a Latino with
a college degree and the first member of his
family to get a degree. He had a future but not
the one he expected.
n n n
It was 10 a.m. on April 17, 2008, almost a
year after Rauls graduation. Raul was eating
lunch in his cubicle at an Olathe car dealer-
ship where he worked as a salesman, when a
detective arrived.
The detective said he was looking for Raul.
He began to question him.
When Raul truthfully answered all of his
questions, the officer put him in handcuffs
and took him to jail.
n n n
Rauls mother was at home, cleaning the
house on her day off.
The phone rang.
It was Raul. He had been arrested.
Pain washed over her. All of his accomplish-
ments are useless now, she thought.
n n n
The family sought help at Rauls alma
mater.
The message on Juan Izaguirres phone was
from someone named Claudette. Izaguirre,
in the Multicultural Resource Center, didnt
recognize the name, but the caller introduced
herself as Rauls sister.
She told Izaguirre something he couldnt
believe. The talented student he had known
for four years was in trouble. He had been
arrested. He would be deported.
She wanted to know if Izaguirre who had
coached him, been part of his fraternity, had
hired him for HawkLink could help him.
Izaguirre had no idea Raul was undocu-
mented.
His first thought: Oh my god. Why didnt I
know?

As he focuses on complex moves that are traditional to step dancing, Raul sports his Sigma Lambda
Beta T-shirt. Step dancing, a vibrant dance form, is traditional to the culture of many black and
Hispanic fraternities like Beta. Each year that Raul participated in the University step show, his family
came to Lawrence to watch himperform.

After being deported to Ciudad Acua, a border town near Del Rio, Texas, Raul used the $40 given
to himby the U.S. government to travel to his grandmothers home outside of Mexico City. The area
where she lives is violent and dangerous, the site of frequent murder and theft.

WHAT IS THE KANSAS DREAm AcT?
in 2004, Kansas legislators passed HB 2145, infor-
mally known as the Kansas DreamAct. This law
grants in-state tuition to undocumented students
who attended high school in Kansas. Kansas is
one of only 11 states to grant in-state tuition to
undocumented students.
Though opponents voiced fears that colleges in
Kansas would be inundated with undocumented
students, an average of only 251 students per
year have received in-state tuition because of this
bill since 2005, according to the Kansas Board of
Regents.
in 2005, Kris Kobach, a lawprofessor at the Uni-
versity of Missouri at Kansas City and former coun-
sel to Attorney General John Ashcroft, brought a
lawsuit against the Kansas Board of Regents, stat-
ing that this lawwas a hindrance to out-of-state
students who are U.S. citizens.
A federal judge in Kansas dismissed the case, as
did the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. The
Supreme Court refused to consider the case.
Kobach, who the NewYork Times described as
on adogged campaign to fght illegal immigra-
tion at the local level, has since fled the same case
against undocumented students in California and
Nebraska.
He is also the writer behind Arizona SB 1070,
the controversial newimmigration lawthat allows
police to stop anyone they suspect of being in the
country illegally and demand proof of citizenship.
While some say the bill makes the state safer, op-
ponents including civil rights activists, president
Obama and some Republican politicians say it is a
formof racial profling that targets people because
of their skin color or language.
WHAT IS THE DREAm AcT?
DReAMis an acronymfor the Development, Relief
and education Act for Alien Minors. The DReAMAct is
bipartisan legislation that would allowyoung people
who entered the U.S. without papers when they were
15 or younger and have been here for at least fve years
to attend college and pursue American citizenship.
introduced in 2001, it stalled in Congress in 2003 and
again in 2007. in March 2009, it was reintroduced.
Several local public fgures recently ofered public
support of the bill, including Rep. Dennis Moore and
Terry Calaway, the president of Johnson Country Com-
munity College.
Chancellor Bernadette Grey-little also publicly
supported the DReAMAct on Wednesday. in a letter,
the chancellor urged legislators to co-sponsor the bill,
writing:
Not only will these young legal immigrants
become Americans, they will beneft Kansas and the
nations economy The best investment local, state,
and the federal government can make is in education.
American and legal immigrants incomes increase with
their education, bringing with themtheir contributions
to a strong and safe community
everyday, legal immigrants who are not legal-
ized citizens enlist in the Marines, Army, Air Force, and
Navy. i hope you see that if it is acceptable for a young
legal immigrant man or woman to enlist in the armed
services, then they should also have the same ability to
get a higher education degree

His second thought: Im paralyzed. He
felt his hands were tied. He had hired Raul
that summer as part of the HawkLink
program. Even though he had no idea at
the time that Raul was undocumented, it is
illegal to hire an undocumented worker.
Izaguirre told Claudette that on an insti-
tutional level, as a KU employee, there was
nothing he could legally do to help Raul.
On a personal level, hed do anything the
family needed.
She never called him back.
n n n
Raul was sentenced to four months in
prison. The charge? Identity theft. Raul
had been using someone elses Social
Security number so he could work.
He was transferred four times to differ-
ent prisons in Missouri and Kansas. Upon
completion of his prison term, he was
transferred to Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, the largest investigative
agency of the Department of Homeland
Security.
ICE officials questioned him repeat-
edly, trying to get him to sign deporta-
tion papers. Raul refused. Finally, it didnt
matter whether he had signed them. His
deportation date was set. Raul never
appeared before an immigration judge.
n n n
In September 2008, Raul was taken by
bus to the border, a trip that lasted three
to four days because of the many stops
and starts. Raul was handcuffed the entire
journey, sometimes to the man next to
him.
It wasnt until he was actually there,
standing in Ciudad Acua in the state of
Coahuila, Mexico, that he closed the chap-
ter on his American life.
In the Grupo Beta aid center, Raul wea-
rily called his grandmother in Mexico City
and prepared to move there.
He ran hot water over his aching red
wrists and worried about his parents and
siblings back in Kansas City.
n n n
They have many reminders of him.
His flashy red car, damaged in a wreck,
now sits in the familys yard.
His mother recalls how Raul would
come home after classes, sit at the dining
room table and in the moments before his
departure for work, tell her about his day
and all the things he had learned.
Rauls absence is a special loss for his
younger brother Sergio, 16. He remem-
bers trying to translate complex mail into
Spanish for his parents shortly after Raul
left.
It was overwhelming, having to do all
that grown up stuff while I am still just
trying to settle down, he said. Its a big
responsibility.
In Mexico, Raul dreams about his family.
A lot of times, I want to go to sleep and
not wake up, not because I want to die but
because I see them in my dreams, and in
my dreams, nothing stands before us, no
borders nothing, he said.
Raul texts or calls his family daily, but
the technology available to him in Mexico
City isnt good, and he doesnt always have
access to the Internet or phone service.
Eloy Gallegos, his friend at the
University, thinks about Raul and others
like him.
There are hundreds of Rauls in
Lawrence. We just dont know them,
he said. Its about putting yourself in
their shoes. Would you be able to work
a 12-hour shift and then go to class and
somewhere in that process make time to
sleep? Its about opportunities in front of
you becoming better than what your
parents are.
n n n
Rauls new life is worlds away from
his old one. He returned to his family in
Mexico City and now lives with his grand-
mother, aunt and uncle in a suburb. Each
day, he volunteers at an old cinderblock
house converted into CAMISE school, a
school for children with special needs.
CAMISE, which serves 35 children from
low-income families, is in Tultitlan, one
of the most dangerous and poorest parts
of the city. On weekdays, Raul works
with children with Down syndrome and
cerebral palsy. To make ends meet, he sells
sporting goods at flea markets over the
weekend.
If you have a college education here,
they treat you like a god, he said. But
there are still no jobs.
Raul says that what matters in Mexico
is who you know. Unlike in the United
States, where a hard-working person from
any background has a chance at success, in
Mexico, you have to have contacts.
Raul no longer has money to buy flashy
clothes or jewelry. Even if he did, it would
be too dangerous to wear them.
Nice tennis shoes are an invitation to
be mugged.
The kid formerly known as Flash has
to dress down in Mexico.
Raul now dreams of helping those
around him: He wants his grandmother,
uncles, aunts and cousins to feel safe when
they leave their homes. He wants to help
people at the community center where
he works. He wants to get the kids wheel-
chairs and walkers and to raise awareness
about impoverished places like the one he
lives in now.
He dreams of change, but he knows they
are just dreams.
Sometimes, Raul goes online and looks
at the KU website and he remembers.
It just seems like another planet, he
said.

Award-winning journalist raises issues of equality
BY KIRSTEN KWON
kkwon@kansan.com
Ellyn Angelotti dreamed of
doing public relations for Major
League Baseball while study-
ing journalism at the University.
Angelotti, a KU alumna, started
her sports broadcasting career by
working with her professor, Terry
Bryant, on Jayhawk Sports Talk.
She was just
a tireless work-
er, Bryant said.
I didnt have to
do much. She
was an anchor,
and she pro-
duced the show
as well as lined
up guests.
But when Angelotti speaks at
the Free State Social tonight and
Friday, she wont be discussing
sports. Instead, she will join other
journalists from various back-
grounds who will be addressing
the issues of news coverage, blog-
ger outreach and the future of
social media, areas that Angelotti
is now focused on.
As a 2005 graduate in journal-
ism and political science, she now
works as the interactivity editor of
Poynter Online and is a teacher at
the Poynter Institute. Angelotti,
28, is the one the youngest fac-
ulty members at Poynter, and she
works to progress multimedia
development in the journalism
industry through technology.
She said that the way people
receive news is constantly chang-
ing and that she was determined
to help teach the industry how to
keep up.
Journalism is changing. The
news cycle is going from passive
to more interactivity, Angelotti
said. Its an infinite loop, and it
doesnt just start with a journal-
ist.
That interactivity includes
social media. Angelotti said sites
like Facebook and Twitter already
strongly affect the way news is
delivered and would continue to
do so in the future.
Its something journalists
should pay attention to, she said.
When you see the power of social
media to make changes in your
society and how you can use those
tools to your benefit, you can also
identify what the challenges are
and how to navigate those land
mines.
With social media sites, the rela-
tionship between the reader and
the journalist has evolved. Instead
of a reporter simply delivering
the news, the reader can become
a part of the process. Angelotti
said journalists should include the
audience in the story-telling pro-
cess at the earliest stage.
Youre building that trust and
reputation, which can only help
you tell the story. Its a more per-
sonal connection, and that person
with the byline becomes an actual
person, Angelotti said. Theres a
better sense of where youre com-
ing from.
Angelotti said young people
who have grown up with social
media should take advantage of
their knowledge in the workforce.
By combining the knowledge of
young journalists and the experi-
ence of older colleagues, she said
better stories could be produced.
Its a great opportunity for
younger people to be leaders in
ways that they havent really been
before, she said. You can be real-
ly influential coming out of college
if youre willing to use the tools in
a thoughtful way to teach people
how to use them and that can earn
you respect and help others to do
better journalism.
In her Journalism 301 course,
Angelotti said she was exposed
to all different facets of journal-
ism, which broadened her focus
to online and multimedia devel-
opment.
I got bored being limited to tell
the story in one way. I liked that
there were tools to tell my story in
different ways, she said.
Angelotti has worked as a mul-
timedia producer for the Lawrence
Journal-World and as the new
media sports editor at the Naples
Daily News.
Larry Baden, one of Angelottis
former professors, said that he saw
her becoming one of the first suc-
cessful female play-by-play broad-
casters but that he wasnt surprised
by her ability to excel in online
journalism.
Ellyn is one of the three or four
people in the country that you call
about how to tell a story in a dif-
ferent and better way, Baden said.
She doesnt call me for advice. I
call her now.
The forum, hosted by The
World Company, starts tonight
and continues through Friday at
The Oread, 1200 Oread Ave.

Q: As a senators wife, youve had to
deal with a lot of gender issues in politics.
Do you feel like those political stereo-
types are propagated more by the world
of politics or the world of the media?
A: By the media and the public. I mean,
you have political consultants. you have
to let them know early and often that
you arent going to feed the stereotypes.
But that really fows from the candidate.
If the candidate makes it clear that he
doesnt want his campaign to stereotype
his spouse, its going to be more efective.
I will say, I cant help but judge an elected
ofcial, or any man for that matter, by
how he treats his wife. If they are dismis-
sive of them or treat them as invisible,
then that afects my opinion of them.
But to be honest, I dont see a lot of that
on the Hill. I love Sherrod, Im married to
Sherrod. Im not a Senate wife. Ive never
given myself that title.
Q: Would you say that there is a
community of so-called Senate wives?
Are you close with any other wives of
congressmen?
A: Not many. When Im in Washing-
ton, I tend to be hanging out with other
journalists except for when Im seeing my
husband. And Im not there every week.
He comes home every weekend. When
Im in Washington, I have a pretty busy
schedule. Im usually either there to give a
talk or to go to some event with Sherrod
that they want spouses to be at thats
really important, like the Supreme Court
dinner, that kind of thing. But there arent
a lot of those. And I dont do the spouse
events, which Im sure is frustrating for
some people. I might do the one for
Michelle Obama this year. I just dont tend
to do that. Part of it is my comfort level as
a journalist, and I also just dont identify
myself through my marriage.
Q: you have a reputation as a very
well-respected advocacy journalist,
someone who sticks up for the underdog.
Would you say that those values have
interacted with your husband and his
policies in any way?
A: Well in any healthy marriage, youre
going to be afecting each others opin-
ions in some way. But the reason I fell in
love with Sherrod was probably because
hes been fghting for the people that I
come from his entire career. The people I
advocate for, in large part, are the people
that I come from. Im the frst in my family
to go to college. Im a working class kid,
so the hourly wage-earner issue is huge
for me. The union issue looms large also.
Im a feminist, so that issue is big for me.
Sherrod and I agree on most things. That
said, he never sees a column before I turn
it in. We never talk about it until its been
turned in and edited. Thats to protect
both of us. Hes never ever asked me not
to write about something.
Q: One unique thing about your col-
umns is that you tend not to use euphe-
misms or dodge the issue. Why is that?
A: Im pretty direct, mainly because I
feel like we dont talk in euphemisms. I
want my columns to read conversation-
ally. I read every column out loud before
I turn it in because I want it to sound
the way I talk. I want people to feel like
theyre having a conversation with me. Im
trying to start the conversation, Im not
trying to lecture. I try to close the distance
between me and the reader.
Q: How do you maintain an opinion
and a stance about something without
becoming one of the extremists or the
talking heads on 24-hour news networks?
A: Well, there will be some who call
me that. you cant control how people see
you. All you can control is your response.
When you start worrying too much about
what people think about you, you start
changing how you express yourself.
And, before you know it, you are no
longer authentically you. If you stand for
anything, youre going to make enemies.
The alternative is to have everyone like
you and to stand for nothing. I dont have
any interest in that. And, certainly, as a
columnist, thats not my job.

KU alumna changes goal, sees success in online media
Angelotti
BY ELLIOT METZ
emetz@kansan.com
Pulitzer Prize-winning jour-
nalist Connie Schultz told her
audience that its important to
remember that Jana Mackey
didnt die.
She didnt pass away.
She was murdered.
Schultz, a nationally syndi-
cated columnist at the Cleveland
Plain Dealer spoke at the Dole
Institute Wednesday night as part
of the Jana Mackey Distinguished
Lecture Series. Mackey was a
former KU law student and a
pr omi ne nt
w o m e n s
rights activ-
ist who was
killed by her
ex-boyfriend
in July 2008.
During the
l e c t u r e ,
S c h u l t z
empathized
with Mackey and her cause.
Jana was a feminist from the
Midwest. I know how that feels,
she said.
Schultz alternated between
funny stories and serious issues,
keeping the rapt attention of the
hundred or so people in atten-
dance.
Connies speech was awe-
some, said Curt Brungart,
Mackeys father. She brings up
the serious issue of equality and
other issues that women still
face in our society.
As Schultz went on to tell sto-
ries that she heard from Mackeys
parents, she summed up Jana
with one sentence: Dont tell
me I cant because then I will.
During the speech, she
called the young women of the
University to action several
times. It seemed that they heard
her message loud and clear.
I thought it was really great
because she was so passionate
and so articulate, said Kathryn
Hoven, a freshman from Chester,
N.J. It showed that you can be
assertive and still be respectful.

Music sales increase
with help from Glee
LOS ANGELES Steve Perry
was skeptical when the producers
of a television pilot about a high
school glee club sought permis-
sion to use his band's song in
their show. The former frontman
for the classic rock group Journey
is protective of his legacy.
"I want to be able to put these
songs somewhere with good
conscience that they're not going
to be abused," Perry said. "I don't
want to see that happen."
He needn't have worried. Perry
overcame his doubts, agreed to
license the song to the producers
of Fox's "Glee," and a year later
"Don't Stop Believin'" reached a
new generation of music fans.
It's music that drives the show,
and the show drives music sales.
On Monday, the three cast
albums were in the top 10 on
iTunes album chart and together
have sold more than 1 million
copies, according to SoundScan.
Sales of the cast's singles,
which typically are released
shortly after an episode airs, have
logged online sales of 4.1 million.
The show's covers also are send-
ing the original recordings back
up the charts.
Perhaps most crucially, "Glee,"
like "Idol," is bridging the gap
between classic rock favored by
boomers and hip-hop popular
with their kids.
Perry said he loves the "Glee"
version of "Don't Stop Believin'."
"They really worked hard to
make it their own," he said. It's
actually brought people's atten-
tion to go check out the original.
It's something I never thought I'd
see in my lifetime."

Freddy Krueger remake
boosts actors comeback
Ratings decline in
Gosselins absence
LOS ANGELES critics can
say what they like about kate
Gosselin, but she's probably the
best weapon yet devised against
Simon cowell.
Gosselin, the tabloid uber-
mom-turned-reality-TV ultra-vil-
lain, fnally got ushered of ABc's
"Dancing With the Stars" last
week. That's unwelcome news
for the network, because during
her short tenure she probably did
more than anyone else to push
the 10th season to the series'
best ratings ever, allowing it to
threaten Fox's "American Idol" as
America's most-watched show.
For three weeks this month,
the Monday performance show
of "DWTS" drew more viewers
than "Idol" the frst time any
Fox rival has managed to do that
in fve years.
Idol may be down 5 percent
in total viewers (to an average
of 25.4 million for the Tuesday
shows), but it still draws a much
younger audience than the ABc
show (a median age of 43 versus
55, according to the Nielsen co.)
and handily beats "DWTS" among
viewers ages 18 to 49, the chief
yardstick for network TV ad rates.
"This is like asking me to com-
pare AARP magazine with Tiger
Beat," Mike Darnell, Fox's reality
guru and the network's point
person overseeing "Idol," said of
the race with "DWTS." "We don't
take any of this seriously."
DWTS may already be sufer-
ing a bit of Gosselin withdrawal.
The show slipped 3 percent for
Monday's performance, the frst
kate-free edition, to 20.2 million
viewers, compared with the week
earlier.
Meanwhile, it's been "Idol's"
turn to show signs of age.
"'Idol' is still a hit, although a
declining one, and appeals to a
largely diferent audience than
'Dancing,' " said Steve Sternberg,
an independent analyst who
writes the Sternberg Report blog
about TV programming and rat-
ings.
McClatchy-Tribune

SAN FRANCISCO Jackie
Earle Haley knew he had to find the
line between the familiar and the
new to properly take over the icon-
ic horror figure Freddy Krueger in
the relaunch of the "Nightmare on
Elm Street" series.
"We had to dish up something
the hardcore fans could kind of rec-
ognize but yet something I could
make my own," Haley said.
Fans have been scared by the "Elm
Street" franchise since its launch in
1984 with Robert Englund's work
as the killer who haunts dreams.
Haley's preparation was to watch
several films in the series, not to
copy what Englund had done but to
get a sense of the character.
Englund's Freddy often deliv-
ered his killing blows with a comic
quip. That's different in the new
"Nightmare," which has fewer jokes
and more horror.
"It's a darker film," Haley said.
It's so dark, Haley's research also
included reading a book about real
serial killers. As he read, Haley
began to realize Freddy is more
like the "character from a campfire
story" than any real murderer.
"I've always felt one of the most
vulnerable places you are is when
you are lying in your bed asleep,
Haley said. Ive been awakened at
times by horrific nightmares and
this represents those fears.
Being cast as Freddy is the latest
step in a remarkable acting come-
back for Haley, 38.
In the mid-80s, Haley's acting
career dried up so he turned to
directing commercials. He returned
to acting with a vengeance in 2006
with his Oscar-nominated work in
"Little Children."
"I'm of two minds. There's a
part of me that knows it's very
real," Haley said. "But there is this
other side of me that can't believe
this is really happening. I'm really
a working actor again."
Along with "Nightmare," Haley
plays the mysterious Guerrero in
the series "Human Target."
"I just thought it was a real inter-
esting kind of fascinating charac-
ter, especially in this action-hero
world. Haley said. Hes definitely
an unhinged character, and that
always kind of fascinates me.
He's not saying if playing Freddy
Krueger fascinates him enough to
want to do as many sequels as
Englund did. It'll depend on how
Haley's new vision of the classic
character is accepted.

quote, God, Alice, when are you
going to make up your mind be-
tween dick and pussy? And spare
us the gory bisexual details?
Tis came from the lesbian
character, Dana, as she ribbed her
bisexual best friend, Alice, who
was talking about the sexual styl-
ings of a man she had bedded.
Danas comment shows the stig-
ma ofen associated with the B,
or Bisexuals, of the LGBT com-
munity.
Tis is a mindset that both the
homosexual and heterosexual
communities share when it comes
to bisexuality.
Bisexuals are greedy. Teyre
promiscuous. Teyre twice as
likely to cheat on someone because
both sexes are there for the taking.
Bisexuals arent gay enough nor
are they straight enough. . .
Wait, what? Even though bisex-
uals are considered a part of the
gay community, they sufer con-
stant judgment from the outside
as well as within.
On April 20, Te Seattle Times
published an article about three
bisexual men suing the North
American Gay Amateur Athletic
Alliance claiming they were dis-
criminated against during the
2008 Gay World Sofball series.
Tis came afer a competing team
accused the mens team of violat-
ing the alliance rule stating, each
World Series team can have no
more than two heterosexual play-
ers.
Te three players were called
into a conference room of more
than 25 people and asked per-
sonal and intrusive questions
about their sexual attractions and
desires to determine their sexual
orientation. Ultimately, the three
men were ruled non-gay, and
their team was stripped of its sec-
ond-place fnish. With it also came
a recommendation that the three
men be suspended for a year.
Tere is still a lot of discrimina-
tion toward the LGBT community,
and we have a long way yet to go.
What saddens me about the inci-
dent involving the bisexual men is
that the discrimination came from
within the gay community. When
we target our own people, saying
they are not gay enough to be-
long to a gay organization, when
we limit the number of people
who can participate in an event
because they are too gay, too in the
middle, or too straight, we only
hinder ourselves from achieving
further equality.
I understand that any private
organization can make up its
membership terms, but why is it
only afer people are successful
that they suddenly fnd themselves
under attack for who they are?
A rival team accuses another
team of not being gay enough af-
ter that team nearly wins the Gay
Sofball World Series, as if sexual
orientation determines a persons
athleticism. Yeah, and skin color
determines intelligence. And an
Ivy League degree makes for the
best presidents. And height de-
termines personality. Because we
know how correct those state-
ments are.
We have to stop hating each
other. Gay rights dont mean solely
gays and lesbians. Tey include
everyone in between. Tey include
gender identity and transsexuality.
Without the B and T in LGBT, our
community becomes a lot smaller,
and we lose a lot of strength. We
cant aford to lose each other.
Our strength is in our ability to
let in and love everyone for who
they are. So please, stop the hat-
ing against bisexuals. Lets stop the
hating and increase the loving.
Afer all, how can we ever get
respect from outside the LGBT
community if we cant even re-
spect our own?

Accepting the B in LGBT
Ignorance spewed on the Internet
best combatted with use of parody
O
f all of the changes to
American society because
of outsourcing, one in par-
ticular has recently raised eyebrows:
the delegation of paper-grading at
some colleges to companies that
work in India and Malaysia. Tis
particularly worrisome trend re-
ceived media attention when the
practice was adopted in a Univer-
sity of Houston class. It brings up
concerns about the quality of con-
tact students are receiving in large
classes.
In this particular case, a com-
pany called EduMentry that hires
workers in India, Malaysia and Sin-
gapore, provided a service called
Virtual TA, which grades papers for
large classes that lack enough teach-
ing assistants.
Outsourcing in this manner takes
away from the education students
are receiving, as there is consider-
able value in having teaching assis-
tants who experience the class and
then evaluate students accordingly.
Tis allows the graders to take
into account dynamics in the course
that otherwise would be missed by
an international frm.
Furthermore, outsourced grading
strictly limits the range and scope of
the papers being considered. Com-
panies that grade papers likely rely
on outlines from professors, listing
points that should be covered in the
assignment. Papers should be grad-
ed with a holistic view to encourage
a diversity of ideas that simply can-
not be expressed when attempting
to follow a fxed outline.
Additionally, it is worthwhile for
students to have an opportunity to
communicate directly with the peo-
ple who are evaluating their work.
Although ofce hours with a
teaching assistant would be ideal,
given the understandable con-
straints of tight budgets, even having
the option to e-mail evaluators with
questions is worthwhile and prefer-
able to a complete lack of contact.
Although large classes are ofen the
norm at some universities, schools
should never overextend enrollment
of classes to the point where they do
not have the adequate resources to
accommodate all of the students.
In addition to the general con-
cerns about this trend in outsourc-
ing, we have further doubts about
the specifc frm used by the Univer-
sity of Houston professor in ques-
tion.
While the company, based in
Virginia, asserts that all of its asses-
sors, or graders, hold masters de-
grees and must pass written exams
before they are employed, it refused
to give specifc information on the
graders educational backgrounds.
Te frm insists that the proof
is in the pudding when it comes
to the success of their assessors. Yet
this lack of transparency is trou-
bling, especially considering the al-
ready anonymous and impersonal
nature of such outsourcing.
If frms such as this are interested
in working with American univer-
sities on tasks as crucial as grading
student work, they should be more
forthcoming about the qualifca-
tions of their employees.

Importing students grades

LGBT issues
I
usually avoid politics. I mean,
Im from a small town in Kansas
where, if I mention the name
Barack Obama, the most common
reply is, You mean B. HUSSEIN
Obama?
Instead, I leave the politics to the
people who know the stuf, such as
Te Kansans designated political
columnists or South Park.
However, I came across a page on
Facebook recently with nearly one
million people. Te title of the group
is Dear Lord, this year you took my
favorite actor, Patrick Swayzie. You
took my favorite actress, Farah Faw-
cett. You took my favorite singer,
Michael Jackson. I just wanted to
let you know my favorite president
is Barack Obama. Amen. (Note:
Spelling errors as seen in the actual
title in case you want to track the
group down for yourself.)
As I clicked on the group page, I
was greeted by a slew of middle-aged,
sweater-wearing women and people
my age with Confederate fags for
profle pictures. Among these peo-
ple, the common chant seemed to
be Buy American. Obamas gonna
make us all go broke. Dont forget,
God, my favorite speaker of the
house is Nancy Pelosi.
It was as if I was walking into a
nightmare where the parodies of
these people with the pictures of
eagles and poor grammatical skills
had come to life.
Among the members of the group
was a middle-aged lawyer who
would post new links to proof
that B. Hussein was born in Kenya.
Just to fll in your mental image of
this gentleman, I theorized from
his profle picture that his biological
composition was likely 76 percent
spray-tan and 23 percent hair gel.
His career was, Yeah im a lawyer.
(Note: Spelling errors still as seen
on Facebook. Wonders of the inter-
webs, people.)
As mentioned, this man was just
one among many of a raging, united
and, I assume, interrelated group.
Scanning through the group, I be-
came very weary for our world. Yes,
I was upset by the lies circulating
about Obamas policies. But, even
more distressing was the admission
that Patrick Swayzie was their fa-
vorite actor. How safe can I feel in
a country where one million voting
citizens have are so totally ignorant
as to say such a thing?
I thought our country was
doomed. No, not Chuckie Finster
doomed, but really, truly doomed.
I fash-forwarded to an ugly 2012,
where the world, overrun by stupid-
ity and ignorance, was handed over
to the control of people such as Tyra
Banks or Sarah Palin. You betcha I
was afraid.
Ten, through the bleak dark-
ness, I saw a light. I now refer to this
angel of goodness as Catface Me-
owmers, because the profle picture
was of a cat. In its posts, the cat did
everything from inviting others to
smoke weed to quoting promotions
of atheism to attempting to disprove
Christianity.
Te cat was not alone, though.
Many humans had joined includ-
ing myself to argue with these
insane people banding together to
wish death upon the president. Te
page had become a gross Internet
forum where people used sarcasm
to parody those so intolerant of our
president.
Ironically, it was because of the
cat account that I regained faith in
America. Te people were smart,
had senses of humor and were will-
ing to mock the one million idiots in
the Swayzie/Farah group.
Ten I began to wonder: How
many of the one million were rebels,
patrolling Facebook to combat ig-
norance, like Catface Meowmers
and me?
I can only hope its as many people
as those who use eagles in front of
Confederate fags as their Facebook
profle pictures.

LeTTer TO THe ediTOr
socialist systems
support citizens
Te Kansan has recently pub-
lished a number of letters and edi-
torials on the topic of socialism. A
theme runs through all the letters:
Socialism is about redistributing
wealth. Whether socialism works
is not my concern here. What so-
cialism is about, at least here in the
United States, is.
Programs and policies such as
welfare, food stamps and progres-
sive taxes are labeled as socialist.
Whether they are being attacked
for sapping diligence, being un-
American or favoring the state
over the individual, or are be-
ing supported because they give
people a chance or give equal op-
portunity, the real reason for these
policies is entirely overlooked.
Our progressive policies are
about justice. In a society that is
about respecting the rule of law,
injury is compensated by those
who caused the injury. Every citi-
zen who could not go to college
because their parents were paid
too low wages has been injured.
Every employee who adopted the
idea that his company was his
family only to be fred and his
job outsourced has been injured.
Every worker who became too
sick to work and lost their job has
been injured. For these reasons
and many others, livelihoods have
been ruined and childrens poten-
tial quashed.
Our society and lifestyle is en-
tirely based on the poor being
abused, overworked and treated
inhumanly. It may not have been
direct, but our comfort derives
from debasement of those unable
to defend themselves because of
past maltreatment or bad luck.
Tis is not an attack on capital-
ism. Rather it is a frank descrip-
tion of the world in which we live.
Tese policies are not products of
socialism. Tey are products of
Americas commitment to justice.
A sense of justice forces us to pay
when we break something. Why
does this not apply to people?

FASHION
Model makes time for both worlds
Janelle DiPaola
refuses to let the
runway change her
BY LINDSEY CARLTON
editor@kansan.com
Arriving at a fashion show,
Janelle DiPaola bypasses a seat in
the audience and heads backstage
for wardrobe, hair and makeup.
After getting dolled up by profes-
sionals, she eagerly waits around
for what seems like hours as other
models get ready.
Show time hits, and chaos breaks
loose as the director rushes DiPaola
into position. Despite the madness,
she stays calm and in character,
preparing for an exciting few min-
utes of strutting
down the runway.
Its such an
adrenaline high,
said DiPaola, a
sophomore from
Denver and a pro-
fessional model.
Its unreal and so
fun.
DiPaola, who
is nearly 5-foot-
10 and has long
brown hair, grew up in Denver
with her parents, Joe and Yvonne,
and her now 16-year-old brother
Sam.
She first experienced the runway
at age 3 but wasnt noticed by an
agent until her senior year of high
school.
The photographer who took her
senior photos suggested DiPaola
enter a local Miss Teen Photogenic
competition, which she won. One
of the judges was Donna Baldwin,
owner of Donna Baldwin Talent in
Denver. Shortly after signing with
Baldwin, DiPaola booked her first
job, with an Italian company that
came to Denver for a photo shoot
in the Rocky Mountains.
I was nervous, but I was with
people who have had a lot of expe-
rience, so I would just watch them,
DiPaola said.
DiPaola now also works with
Seven Model Management in
Kansas City, Mo., balancing her
modeling schedule with a double
major in film and English.
I feel like Im getting the total
college experience, but when I
model, its like a completely differ-
ent world, she said.
She mostly models in print
because the market for runway in
Kansas City is small. DiPaola also
said she aspires to work abroad,
either during a semester or after
she graduates.
But, while DiPaolas college life is
atypical, she still remains grounded
with the support of her family and
friends.
Though her parents and broth-
er worry at times,
her family encour-
ages her modeling
career.
I am confident
in her ability to say
no when in a com-
promising position
or when something
goes against her
values, her mother
said.
DiPaolas person-
ality also keeps her from getting
caught up in the industry.
Its funny because Janelle will
come home after a photo shoot
looking like she just walked out of
a magazine, said Haley Remund,
DiPaolas roommate and a sopho-
more from Olathe. Just talking to
her, though, you wouldnt know
she modeled because of her down-
to-earth personality and unpredict-
able sense of humor.
DiPaola is especially conscious
of the pressures to maintain a cer-
tain standard of beauty in the mod-
eling world, but her friends are not
worried about her giving in to that
standard.
Janelle has always said she
would never have surgery or lose
weight just because an agent told
her to, said Elaina Knowles, a
sophomore from Omaha, Neb.,
and one of DiPaolas best friends. I
know modeling is important to her,
but she would never compromise
her body for it.
Knowing what happens behind
the scenes, DiPaola warns friends
to not get sucked into wanting to
look a certain way. She said every
magazine picture has been com-
pletely airbrushed. She said she has
even looked at her own final pic-
tures and hardly recognized herself
because of so much airbrushing.
I honestly think that they air-
brush so much that in ten years
they wont even need models except
for runway, because they can digi-
tally create someone, DiPaola said.
Until then, though, Im going to
keep doing what I love.

HEALTH
Study illustrates long-term
health risks in lack of sleep
UWIRE
While many college students are
ending their working day, other stu-
dents and local residents are leaving
to work the night shif, which a re-
cent study fnds could make them
prone to health risks, such as high
blood pressure, obesity and diabe-
tes.
A study published in the journal
Proceedings of the National Acad-
emy of Sciences found that working
the night shif increases the risk of
diabetes, heart disease, high blood
pressure and obesity.
When someones sleeping and
eating cycles are disrupted, the levels
of leptin, which regulates the bodys
weight, decreases and that causes
the person to feel hungry, said Frank
A. J. L. Scheer, the lead author of the
study. Tis is where the risk of obe-
sity and diabetes comes in, he said.
Te short-term efects of working
the night shif are impaired sleep and
disrupted cognitive functions dur-
ing the day. Diabetes, heart disease,
high blood pressure and obesity are
the long-term efects, Scheer said.
Many night shif workers said
they are more worried about bal-
ancing their schedules than health
problems.
Te night shif is good for me
because I am home during the day,
said Brenda Arnold, a night shif
custodian in OUs Baker University
Center.
Arnold works the night shif
Monday through Friday. Working
this shif gives her the opportunity
to get her children of to school in
the morning and still be able to get
them home in the afernoon, Ar-
nold said.
Levels of glucose, the bodys main
energy source, and insulin are in-
creased in people who work the
night shif, according to the study.
Night shif workers show symptoms
similar to jet lag such as gastrointes-
tinal complaints, fatigue and poor
sleep, according to the study.
Te increased level of glucose
heightens the risk for heart disease,
obesity and diabetes. It also causes
an increase in blood pressure while
awake, Scheer said.

YOUR PERSONAL OPTION

FOR SUMMER SCHOOL

BY ZACH GETZ

After six straight losses, fresh-
man outfielder Rosie Hull said
she badly wanted a victory. After
suffering defeat in the first game
of a doubleheader, 4-1, Kansas
rebounded and broke its losing
streak by defeating Wichita State
9-2 in game two.
Its been a while since we beat
a team like that, Hull said. When
you come out and win, all of this
is worth it. One win like that can
erase so many losses for me.
It was also Kansas' largest mar-
gin of victory since it defeated
Harvard 9-1 March 19 this sea-
son. With the split doubleheader,
Kansas moved to 19-30 (1-13,)
while Wichita State moved to
17-28.
Kansas racked up a season-
high 14 hits in the second game.
Freshman outfielder Alex Jones
said it took only one hitter to get
the team going.
I feel like hitting overall is
contagious, Jones said. If the top
of the order is doing their job and
getting on base, it sparks the rest
of the team to do the same.
The first game started off slow,
but the hits started falling for
Wichita State in the top of the
fourth when it had three hits, and
one got on base with a Kansas
error. The Shockers walked away
with a 3-0 lead after the fourth,
and added another in the fifth.
Kansas started to come to
life in the sixth when a Mariah
Montgomery single brought home
Jones, and a Britney Hile dou-
ble put runners on second and
third with no outs. Even with two
in scoring position, Kansas was
unable to score another run in the
inning, and Wichita State won the
game 4-1.
Coach Megan Smith said the
hitters had been handling the rise-
ball pitch well this season, but for
some reason the team was chasing
too many balls in the first game.

TOpEKA The way Dick
Vitale sees it, Northern Iowa beat-
ing Kansas defined the essence of
March Madness.
For Vitale, an ESpN college
basketball analyst, its miracles
such as Northern Iowas victory
that make the NCAA tourna-
ment the great-
est product
sports has to
offer.
In the NBA,
that cant hap-
pen, Vitale
said, referring
to the seven-
game series
NBA teams play instead of single-
elimination tournaments. Thats
really the definition to me of
what really breaks down what I
would call March Madness.
Vitale talked basketball and
life at Washburn University
Wednesday, where he spoke as
part of the Washburn Lecture
Series, The Game of Life.
He had much to say about the
state of college basketball before
the event as well. And he did so
as animated and emotional as
fans have come to expect.
Vitale didnt know where to
rank Kansas or Kansas State for
next year, and the only predic-
tions he had were his top two
teams for next year: Duke and
Michigan State.
I do know this, though,
Vitale said, Bill Self and Kansas
will always be right up on top in
the Big 12.
Vitale said he loved the NCAA
Tournament expanding to 68
teams instead of the proposed
96. That way, everyone can be
happy without watering down
the competition and the regu-
lar season keeps its meaning,
Vitale said.
To me, you are supposed to
reward greatness, he said.
But he expressed extreme
displeasure with the one-and-
done rule, which requires play-
ers to be 19 years old or have
at least one NBA season elapse
before they can play in the NBA.
Most players opt for one year of
college, giving the rule its popu-
lar name.
I think the one-and-done is
the biggest joke that ever hit col-
lege athletics, Vitale said. It is
an embarrassment to the term
student athlete.

the pros, he said, they do not

will face No. 39 Oklahoma in
the first round of the Big 12
Tournament today at 10 a.m.
Kansas, who lost to the
Sooners 5-2 on April 18, enters
the match as the No. 12 seed.
Oklahoma is seeded at No. 5.
I think we have a chance like
any other team, senior Kuni
Dorn said. We are always there;
we just need to finish.
The Sooners are led by the
No. 97 singles player, Ana-Maria
Constantinescu, and the No. 38
doubles team of Constantinescu
and Teona Tsertvadze. When
Kansas faced Oklahoma, fresh-
man Vika Khanevskaya and
sophomore Erin Wilbert record-
ed victories. Both Khanevskaya
and Wilbert went into third set
tiebreakers.
It definitely helps when you

T
he so-called Hilton Magic,
a supposed force Iowa State
fans believe they have for their
Cyclones at home, isnt just something
only they believe in anymore.
Te athletics department at Iowa
State, which was supposed to make
an objective and reasoned decision
on whom to hire as its next mens
basketball coach, decided to make a
nostalgic decision seemingly based on
this magic.
I trust that youre too smart to actu-
ally believe in Hilton Magic. Youre
too smart to hire a popular ex-player
as your head coach, despite the fact
that he has no coaching experience
whatsoever and no experience in the
college game since his playing days.
Youre too smart to hire Fred
Hoiberg. But apparently, the Iowa State
brass are not.
Hoiberg, who played from 1991 to
1995, will be a popular hire in Ames.
He didnt earn the nickname The
Mayor without a positive standing
there. Hoibergs popularity is because
of his fantastic career playing at Iowa
State, which he parlayed into a solid
NBA run. With Hoiberg, Iowa State is
almost certain to sell more tickets this
coming season.
Increased ticket sales can be used to
improve a program that has suffered
through five straight losing seasons. If
Iowa State had a destitute fanbase, that
might be reason enough to justify the
hire. But Iowa State fans are passion-
ate, and they pack Hilton Coliseum.
The Cyclones
still finished last
season third in
the conference
in attendance
behind only
Kansas and
Texas.
Yes, Hoiberg
will guarantee
increased inter-
est from some
nostalgic fans.
But you know what really increases
ticket sales? Consistently winning. And
do you hire someone who has never
been a coach, on any level, if winning
games is your goal? Apparently you do
but only if youre Iowa State.
Before you point to Frank Martins
success at Kansas State as a justifica-
tion for hiring a coach with no college
experience, remember that Martin had
been a head coach years before he took
the Kansas State job in 2007, albeit
at the high school level. He also had
experience as an assistant, working
under Bob Huggins. Finally, and most
importantly, Martin had numerous ties
to Amateur Athletic Union circles, and
thus could recruit top-tier players.
Hoiberg, on the other hand, hasnt
been any kind of a coach, on any level.
Nor does he have any known con-
nections in the AAU. Since his play-
ing days, Hoiberg has served in the
Minnesota Timberwolves front office,
now one of the worst franchises in the
NBA.
A better comparison than Martin
would be Clyde Drexler, the early
80s University of Houston star who
returned to coach his alma mater in
1998. After two years and a 19-39
record, Drexler decided to spend
more time with his family and
resigned.
Which, barring some Gandalf-like
wizardry, is how Hoibergs stint at Iowa
State is likely to end.

Nationals win 3-2
against the Cubs
CHICAGO Rookie Luis Ati-
lano pitched six strong innings
and won for the second time in
two major league starts. Adam
Dunn hit a tiebreaking home
run in the fourth Wednesday,
leading the Washington Na-
tionals to a 3-2 victory over the
Chicago Cubs.
Adam Kennedy also hom-
ered for the Nationals (12-10),
who hadnt been two games
over .500 this late in a season
since they were 81-79 on Sept.
30, 2005 their inaugural
campaign in Washington.
Atilano (2-0), who worked
six quality innings in his debut
against the Dodgers last week,
allowed two runs on six hits
all singles and three walks.
The 24-year-old right-hander
pitched out of a one-out,
bases-loaded jam in the ffth
by retiring Marlon Byrd on a
soft liner and Mike Fontenot
on a grounder. After Fontenots
out, Atilano pumped his fst to
celebrate.
Brian Bruney, Tyler Clip-
pard and Matt Capps each
pitched one scoreless inning of
relief. Capps earned his major
league-leading 10th save in
10 attempts. Washingtons
bullpen has a 0.77 ERA in its
last eight games.

W
hen most people think of the
Kentucky Derby, they think of
men smoking hand-rolled cigars
and women in fancy hats.
They think of Millionaires Row, celebri-
ties, lots of money and mint juleps, the
traditional drink of the derby. An ESPN
Magazine feature estimated that 120,000
mint juleps made of mint, bourbon,
sugar and water will be consumed at the
race.
If youre one of the lucky few who can
afford a seat at the Run for the Roses, youll
experience these luxuries. But if you cant
score a seat at the derby, theres always the
infield.
For only $40, you can partake in this
massive 40-acre party with 80,000 other
attendees. Imagine Mardi Gras and mud
wrestling squeezed into the middle of a race
track.
An article by Larry Muhammad of the
Louisville Courier-Journal chronicled
some of the madness within the infield. He
included:
- Sunbathers in inflatable wading pools
- Testimony from a Louisville metro
police officer who said he saw a guy running
naked across the top of a line of Port-O-
Potties
- A county prosecutor caught smoking
marijuana
- People smuggling in alcohol by soaking
fruit or hollowing out watermelons
- Couples off to the races, as
Muhammad put it, underneath blankets
- And plenty of nudity. A local photog-
rapher said he once saw a guy climb a flag
pole and take off his clothes
And then theres the betting. Amid all the
beer, bourbon, hats and cigars, race attend-
ees wagered $10.2 million on last years race.
$104.6 million in total was wagered on the
race, often referred to as the most exciting
two minutes in sports.
As of Wednesday morning, Lookin At
Lucky was the favorite with 3-1 odds. Next
was Sidneys Candy with 5-1.
Four horses, Deans Kitten, Make Music
For Me, Backtalk and Homeboykris, remain
long shots, each with 50-1 odds. Since 2005
two horses, Giacomo and Mine That Bird,
have won the Derby with 50-1 odds.
Of course, watching the actual race is fun,
too. NBC will start coverage of the race at
4 p.m. Saturday, but the race doesnt start
until 5:04.

NFL
Dolphins manager apologizes for question
MLB
MLB
mcclatchy-triBune
MIAMI Miami Dolphins
general manager Jeff Ireland
apologized Tuesday for using
poor judgment during his line
of questioning in an interview
with an NFL prospect leading up
to this weekends draft.
The apology comes in the wake
of a report
on Yahoo!
Sports that
cited Ireland
as asking wide
receiver Dez
Bryant if his
mother was a
prostitute.
T h e
Ok l a h o ma
State players background and
his mothers lifestyles have been
highly scrutinized by many
NFL teams over the last several
months, but Bryant said in the
Yahoo! Sports article that Miami
took the interview process to a
different level as a result of the
one question.
I got mad really mad
but I didnt show it, Bryant, who
was selected by Dallas, told the
website.
Less than five hours after the
story first appeared on the web-
site, Ireland issued a statement
that he apologized to Bryant by
phone Tuesday as a result.
My job is to find out as
much information as possible
about a player that Im con-
sidering drafting, Ireland said.
Sometimes that leads to asking
in-depth questions.
Having said that, I talked
to Dez Bryant and told him I
used poor judgment in one of
the questions I asked him. I cer-
tainly meant no disrespect and
apologized to him.
I appreciate his acceptance
of that apology and I told him I
wished him well as he embarks
on his NFL career.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello
did not issue any elaborate
response on the matter, writing
in an e-mail that we are aware
that Jeff called Dez Bryant and
apologized.
Asked if the matter is closed,
or whether it will be investigated
with more depth, Aiello wrote, I
have nothing further to add.
Ireland, entering his third
year as Miamis general manager,
works in con-
junction with
vice president
of football
ope r at i ons
Bill Parcells
while prepar-
ing for the
NFL Draft.
During the
draft process,
p r o s p e c t s
u n d e r g o
an intense
evaluation by most teams that
includes criminal background
checks, thorough investigations
into their past and multiple one-
on-one interviews with the play-
ers.
Teams are allowed to bring 30
prospects to their headquarters
for predraft visits. Bryant met
with the Dolphins at their Davie,
Fla., facility at the beginning of
April, which is when the inter-
view with Ireland took place.
The same article on Yahoo!
Sports website also cited sev-
eral situations when
other NFL teams
have asked poten-
tially insulting ques-
tions, bringing into
question whether
the leagues predraft
analysis of players
has gone too far.
Bryant was the
24th selection of this
years NFL Draft.
The Dolphins, who
were initially sched-
uled to pick at No. 12, traded
down and picked defensive end
Jared Odrick with the 28th over-
all pick.

My job is to fnd
out as much
information as
possible about a
player ...

Hofman blows save,
Pirates win in the 14th
Seattle picks Okung, the protector
Mcclatchy-tribune
SEATTLE Even as a little
boy, Russell Okung knew how to
protect people. His first client was
his little sister, and when she got
into so much trouble one day that
she needed a spanking, Okung
stopped their mother with one
bold question.
What did she do? Okung
asked.
Whos asking? Dorothy
Akpabio wondered.
Me, Okung replied.
Akpabio turned around, looked
down to waist level, and there
stood the little fellow, looking seri-
ous. Little sis avoided a whuppin.
Now thats a
left tackle for
you.
He can be
o v e r p r o t e c -
tive, which
works out for
the Seahawks,
said Nicole
Okung, who is
about two years
younger than her brother. It gets
in my way sometimes.
She laughed, and when asked
what Russell is overprotective
about with boys? she shot
back, With life.
You should expect nothing less
from someone nicknamed Big
Daddy. Thats what Akpabio
started calling her son when he
was a child. She considered him
my own personal bodyguard.
Its a role the kid accepted from
the time his father went to work at
his gas station one November day
in 1992 and didnt return home.
Its a role that created his work
ethic and his uncanny focus, one
that made him determined to lift
his family from poverty and that
led him on a path to football star-
dom. Its a role that made him the
Seahawks choice to replace future
Hall of Fame left tackle Walter
Jones.
On Saturday, Russell held up
his No. 76 Seahawks jersey next to
Pete Carroll, smiled for the cam-
eras, and it hit him. Hes here. The
steep climb is over. Soon, hell
be a millionaire and the man in
charge of keeping the franchises
most important asset, quarterback
Matt Hasselbeck, upright.
Its a great day, Russell whis-
pered to Carroll. A great day.
BEcOMINg A
PROTEcTOR
Victor Okung and Dorothy
Akpabio were Nigerian immi-
grants who both settled in the
Houston area. They didnt know
each other until they moved to
Texas, but once they met, the con-
nection was strong and immedi-
ate. Dorothy loved Victors abil-
ity to persevere through adversity,
his love of family and his work
ethic. He was what their son has
become a gentle giant.
Victor promised to take care
of Dorothy, to be able to afford
a big wedding some day, to cre-
ate an empire and treat her like
a queen. He was fighting toward
that goal. He owned his own gas
station, and though they werent
rich, Victor and Dorothy had
legitimate reason to trust in the
American dream.
But on Nov. 23, 1992, tragedy
struck. Victor was murdered at
his gas station, shot in the chest
and back. Russell was 5 years
old, and his mother couldnt bear
to tell him the news for nearly
two weeks. Dorothy would only
say that Daddy was away, until
she found the strength to tell the
truth.
Russell still doesnt talk about
his fathers death in interviews.
Victor and Russell were so much
alike, Dorothy says. Facial fea-
tures. Mannerisms. Demeanor.
Naturally, he handled the tragedy
like his father would. He promised
to take care of his family.
As Russell was maturing into
a protector, Dorothy became the
provider. Now a single mother
with two kids, she worked all
kinds of minimum-wage jobs. She
worked all day, all night if need be,
and barely saw her children. She
had a mission.
Before they got hungry, I was
going to take care of it, Dorothy
said. I wasnt going to sit back
and have my kids starving. It was
a challenge, but you love your chil-
dren so much.
Dorothy leaned on her Baptist
faith. Church kept the fam-
ily grounded. Russell and Nicole
stayed out of trouble, even though
their mother was away working
much of the time. And the older
Russell got, the more he turned
into Big Daddy.
He became the man of the
house and became determined to
excel in everything he did. He
made good grades. He worked
as a teen and gave his modest
checks to his mother. And when
he realized his love for football, he
refused to relent.
After the Seahawks picked
Russell sixth
overall Thursday
night, those
old memo-
ries entered his
mind. Look at
what hed done.
Look at what his
family had done.
It was a rush
of emotions,
the 22-year-old
said. I tried
not to cry. But I
thought about it.
I thought about how hard my life
has been, and finally you see God
working in my life, and a sudden
rush of emotion just came into
me. I just felt so overwhelmed
with all the emotions that were
going through me.
BEcOMINg A PLAYER
As a freshman in high school,
Russell was a lanky, 6-foot-1 kid,
not even 200 pounds. In Nigeria,
his parents had been taught that
a football is something you kick
with your feet, Dorothy said. So
Russell loved soccer, loved base-
ball even more, and when he went
out for football at George Bush
High School in Richmond, Texas,
the coach didnt know if hed make
it.
He was a good kid, said Scott
Moehlig, the coach at Bush High
back then. His character is just
unbelievable. But he was very,
very quiet when he was a fresh-
man, and I thought he liked bas-
ketball more. He wasnt much of
a standout.
Eventually, Moehlig convinced
Russell that he had a better future
in football. By his junior season,
Russell turned into a standout. In
high school, he gained more than
50 pounds and grew to be 6 feet 5.
Still, he weighed just 250 pounds,
so at first, colleges werent begging
to sign him.
Some coaches saw the poten-
tial, however. One of the first was
former Texas Tech offensive mas-
termind Mike Leach. And at the
end of his senior year, Russell had
offers from Texas Tech, Oklahoma,
Nebraska, LSU and
Oklahoma State.
He chose
Oklahoma State
because the Cowboys
had been steady suit-
ors. He thrived there,
gained 50 pounds
to reach his current
weight of 302, and
became the finest left
tackle in the college
game.
New Seahawks
safety Earl Thomas
played at Texas and competed
against Russell and Oklahoma
State in the Big 12 Conference.
Thomas remembers playing the
Cowboys and running into Russell
on a blitz.
He caught me up under my
shoulder pads, and we talked, and
I told him to please not throw me
on the ground, Thomas said. He
didnt do it, and thats how we first
met.
Russell made a very Walter
Jones-ian decision in that game.
For a dozen years, Jones domi-
nated in that same manner, keep-
ing opponents at bay with his skill
and athleticism rather than trying
to pile-drive defenders who dared
to enter his space. Though Russell
shows flashes of nastiness, he plays
the position with similar grace.
Hes a protector, not a fighter.
Okung
Russell Okung
accepted his role as
a family protector
from the time his
father was
murdered on the
job in 1992.

Pirates reliever D.J. Carrasco
(1-0) got the victory with three

Diamondbacks win
in 10 innings, 12-11
DENVER Kelly Johnson hom-
ered to lead of the 10th inning
and the Arizona Diamondbacks,
after blowing a six-run lead and
then falling behind by fve, rallied
past the Colorado Rockies 12-11
Wednesday.
Johnson sent a drive from
Franklin Morales (0-2) over the
center-feld wall. His eighth
homer of the season capped a
seesaw game that saw abbrevi-
ated outings by both starters, a
dozen extra-base hits and the
ejection of Arizona manager A.J.
Hinch.
Bob Howry (1-0) pitched two
scoreless innings and Juan Guti-
errez got three outs for his frst
save in two chances.
Chris Youngs three-homer
highlighted a big frst inning that
put Arizona ahead 6-0. Young
matched a career high with fve
RBIs.
Troy Tulowitzkis two-run
double helped Colorado score six
times in the third for a 7-6 lead,
and the Rockies added four more
in the fourth.
Down 11-6, the Diamondbacks
came back. They scored twice in
the eighth of reliever Rafael Be-
tancourt to make it 11-all, getting
an RBI groundout from Johnson
and a run-scoring single by Tony
Abreu.
Arizona loaded the bases in the
ninth against Morales but failed
to score.

OLYmPIcS
Mcclatchy-tribune
April 28 Ten years after
their performance at the Sydney
Olympics and two years removed
from the most recent age-related
controversy in womens gymnas-
tics, the 2000 United States wom-
ens team Wednesday was awarded
bronze medals after Chinas team
was stripped of its medals for com-
peting with an underage member.
Wednesdays decision by the
International Olympic Committees
executive board meeting in Dubai,
was based on the findings of an
investigation by the International
Gymnastics Federation. FIG offi-
cials determined that Chinese
gymnast Dong Fangxiao was 14 in
2000, two years short of the mini-
mum age of 16 during the Olympic
year, and should not have been
allowed to compete.
With that decision, the IOC
awarded bronze medals to the 2000
U.S. team of Amy Chow, Jamie
Dantzscher, Dominique Dawes,
Kristin Maloney, Elise Ray and
Tasha Schwikert, who finished
fourth in Sydney.
Questions about Dongs age had
persisted since the 2000 Games,
and they were revived in 2008 amid
reports that Chinas gold medal-
winning team at the Beijing Games
also included underage gymnasts.
Dongs accreditation information
for the Beijing Olympics, where
she worked as a national technical
official, listed her birthday as Jan.
23, 1986. That would have made
her 14 in Sydney. Her birth date
in the FIG database is listed as Jan.
20, 1983.
The FIG gave this issue high
priority, and everybody put in a lot
of time to make sure that they did
the right thing, said Steve Penny,
president of USA Gymnastics.
Were grateful that so much effort
and time has been put into helping
give our (2000) kids a medal. Its a
great thing.
Penny noted that the 2000 team
competed at a time of turmoil for
USA Gymnastics. After the team
finished sixth in the 1999 world
championships, USA Gymnastics
named Bela Karolyi as national
team coordinator and instituted
a regular series of team training
camps at the Karolyi ranch in New
Waverly that continues today.
The U.S. squad left Sydney with-
out a medal, the only time since
1976 the American women had
failed to win a single Olympic
medal. The U.S. boycotted the 1980
Moscow Games.
Worlds in 1999 was an eye-
opener, and that is when we start-
ed the semi-centralized system,
Penny said. And then we got to
Sydney, and it was a rollercoaster
Olympics.
This now puts a happier face on
things for six of our girls, and thats
a positive thing.
However, Penny is under no illu-
sions that the FIG and IOC deci-
sions will impact the possibility of
reopening an inquiry into wheth-
er Chinese gymnasts He Kexin,
Jiang Yuyuan and Yang Yilin were
underage when they competed for
Chinas gold medal-winning team
in 2008.
That (2008) case is closed,
Penny said. It would take the FIG
needing to feel differently than they
have for the case to be reopened.
It was unclear Wednesday when
the medals will be presented to the
six U.S. gymnasts from the 2000
team.

WASHINGTON Led by Jaroslav
Halaks spectacular, acrobatic goaltend-
ing, the Montreal Canadiens slowed Alex
Ovechkin and the rest of the Washington
Capitals high-powered offense to complete
an unlikely comeback and eliminate the
NHLs best regular-season team in the first
round.
Halak made 41 saves, Marc-Andre
Bergeron scored a 4-on-3 goal in the last 30
seconds of the opening period Wednesday
night, and eighth-seeded Montreal held on
to beat Washington 2-1 in Game 7, stun-
ning the Presidents Trophy winners by
reeling off three consecutive victories.
Im in shock right now. I dont know
what to say, Ovechkin said, his voice low,
his eyes staring at the floor of the locker
room.
The Canadiens are the ninth No. 8 team
to knock off a No. 1 in 32 matchups since
the NHL went to its current playoff format
in 1994 and the first to come back from
a 3-1 series deficit.
Before the series started, no one gave
us a chance to win, not even one game,
Halak said. We proved (to) them they
were wrong.
Dominic Moore made it 2-0 for the
Canadiens with 3 minutes left, stealing
the puck from defenseman Mike Green
and beating goalie Semyon Varlamov. That
silenced the home crowd but the Capitals
didnt go quietly.
Brooks Laich cut Washingtons deficit to
a goal by poking home a shot while down
on his knees after Ovechkin put the puck
on net off a rebound. That made it 2-1 with
2:16 left, and the Capitals kept pushing
frantically forward, pulling Varlamov for an
extra attacker down the stretch.
A high-sticking penalty call against
Montreal defenseman Ryan OByrne with
1:44 to go put the Capitals on the power
play. But Halak was up to the task every
time, and he was helped by a remarkably
high total of 41 shots that Montreals skaters
were credited with blocking.
Halaks teammates piled on him at the
final horn, while Ovechkin skated all alone
toward the other end of the ice, his stick
resting on his knees, and his head bowed.
The leagues two-time MVP has played
in four career playoff series, and each has
gone to a Game 7. The Capitals are 1-3 in
those deciding contests.
I thought we had a good chance to win
the Stanley Cup this year, Washington
coach Bruce Boudreau said.
Montreal moves on to face Sidney Crosby
and the defending Stanley Cup champion
Penguins in the second round, with Game 1
at Pittsburgh on Friday. The fourth-seeded
Penguins were the only higher-seeded team
to win a first-round series in the Eastern
Conference.
Yes, thats right: All three division cham-
pions in the East are done already
Washington, New Jersey and Buffalo.
Bucks take 3-2 series lead on No. 3 Hawks
AssociAted Press
ATLANTA With Andrew Bogut cheer-
ing from the bench, Brandon Jennings teamed
with Kurt Thomas in a duo for the ages to push
the Milwaukee Bucks one win from an improb-
able first-round upset.
Jennings scored 25 points, Thomas drew
a crucial charging foul against Joe Johnson
and the Bucks stunned the home team with a
14-0 run late in the game, beating the favored
Hawks 91-87 on Wednesday night for a 3-2
lead in the best-of-seven series.
Milwaukees third straight win over third-
seeded Atlanta gives the upstarts a chance
to wrap up the series at home in Game 6 on
Friday night.
Bogut is watching the playoffs with a cast
on his right hand after taking a gruesome fall
late in the regular season, but the 20-year-old
Jennings keeps stepping up big with darting
moves to the hoop and timely jumpers.
The main thing was just keep attacking,
keeping attacking, Jennings said. The pres-
sures not on us.
The 37-year-old Thomas, one of the leagues
oldest players, doesnt show up much on the
stat sheet but he may have come up with the
biggest play of the game when he stepped
out to take a charge from Johnson with 2:15
remaining, the Atlanta stars sixth foul.
The Hawks appeared to be in control lead-
ing 82-73 after Josh Smiths long jumper with
4:10 remaining. Milwaukee scored the next
14 points, however, and Jennings wrapped it
up by making two free throws with 9 seconds
remaining.
Jamal Crawford, who had an awful game one
day after winning the NBAs Sixth Man Award,
threw up a desperation 3-pointer that missed
badly and the Bucks ran out the final seconds.
While Milwaukee celebrated with chest bumps
in the center of Philips Arena, the Hawks
straggled off the court, serenaded by boos from
their own crowd.
Bye-bye, Woody! someone shouted at
Atlanta coach Mike Woodson, whose contract
is up at the end of a season that is one loss away
from ending much earlier than expected.
Atlanta dominated the first two games on its
home court and fully expected to win at least
one game in Milwaukee, which would have set
them up to clinch at home in Game 5.
Instead, its the gritty Bucks, appearing in
the playoffs for the first time since 2006, who
are on the verge of moving on to face waiting
Orlando in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Milwaukee shot 41 percent from the field
but came through when it mattered, simply
outworking an Atlanta team that seemed more
and more stunned to find itself in a tough
series. John Salmons added 19 points and Luke
Ridnour had 15.
The Bucks continually drove to the hoop in
the fourth quarter, drawing foul after foul and
hitting 15 of 18 free throws. Stunningly, Atlanta
never got to the line in the final period.
Marvin Williams had 22 points for the
Hawks, who couldnt overcome the dismal
showings by Crawford and Johnson, who man-
aged just 13 points on 6-of-16 shooting before
fouling out.
The Hawks appeared to be taking control
in the third quarter with the sort of play that
had been missing since the first two games in
Atlanta.
Johnson took things into his own hands,
driving right around Thomas for a dunk that
broke a 50-50 tie and sparked a 17-4 run that
took less than 4 minutes. Johnson also hit a
couple of jumpers during the spurt, and he got
plenty of support from Horford and Williams.
Horford scored six points, including a couple
of ferocious dunks set up by passes from Mike
Bibby. After the second jam, Bibby backped-
aled down the court with a smile on his face,
the Hawks appearing to have fun for the first
time all night.

Minnesota student connects basketball to trafc network
UWIRE
A graduate student in physics
at the University of Minnesota
recently had a research paper recog-
nized at a Massachusetts Institute of
Technology conference, and it had
nothing to do with matter, forces
or energy.
It was about the game of basket-
ball and used theory rooted in the
heart of physics to analyze the game
in a truly unique way.
Brian Skinner, graduate stu-
dent in the physics and astronomy
departments, presented a research
paper last month at the 2010 MIT
Sloan Sports Analytics Conference.
The paper compared a basketball
offense to a traffic network in a
way that rethinks basic offensive
strategy.
In the research paper, Skinner
said the most talented offensive
player benefits his or her team by
shooting less, because concentrat-
ing the offensive production on one
player lessens the offenses efficiency
as a whole.
To make this point, Skinner
looked at the phenomenon in traf-
fic where jams occur because each
vehicle is taking the path of its best
interest.
Skinner found that a similar phe-
nomenon occurs in basketball when
teams repeatedly run the play with
the highest percentage of success
by having the player with the best
chance of scoring shoot the major-
ity of the time.
For an example, Skinner looked
at Boston Celtics shooting guard
Ray Allen.
According to Skinner, Allen was
the most effective when he took
fewer shots. Using the theory, Allens
effectiveness reached its highest
level when he took 20 percent of his
teams shots.
The result of limiting Allens
shots keeps the defense from focus-
ing too intently on him, and it pays
off, Skinner said.
Nash equilibrium shows that the
more Allen shot the basketball, the
more his effectiveness fell, until he
was as effective as his less-talented
teammates.
It is the job of the coach to pre-
vent this from happening, Skinner
said.
Allen was the primary scorer,
but he was also the second and
third option, Skinner said. Over
his career, he had a wide range of
shot volume.
With the teams offense continu-
ing to utilize Allen as their best
scoring option, the team reaches the
Nash equilibrium with Allen shoot-
ing 40 percent of his teams shots.
If I had the same courage to
take shots without regard, I think
I would have been a more effective
player and help the team more,
Peterson said.
Teams are crunching numbers
and trying to quantify player effec-
tiveness, Peterson said. They try
to make players see the statistics
are trying to make them become
better.
Hollinger said one way Skinners
research could be used is the pre-
dictable behavior of teams late in
the game.
Teams are very predictable about
getting the shot to their best player,
according to Hollinger.
Brians paper does a great theo-
retical premise in that coaches are
hurting themselves by doing that,
Hollinger said.

Daily at the University of Minnesota

Lincecum, the two-time reign-

Cole Hamels and was poised to
win his fifth straight start to
begin the year until closer Brian
Wilson blew it.
Nate Schierholtz had an RBI
double in the bottom of the 11th
for his career-high fifth hit but
it wasnt enough on a day the
Giants stranded 16 baserunners.
The reigning NL champion
Phillies avoided their first four-
game skid since dropping four
straight at Houston last Sept. 4-7.
They fell out of at least a share
of first place in the NL East for
the first time all season Tuesday
night and wrapped up a disap-
pointing 4-5 road trip.
UWire
POUGHKEEPSIE, NY A
player scoops up the ball and
starts to sprint towards the goal.
Juking past potential assailants
and vicious adversaries, the player
eyes the target and rears back,
ready to score.
Suddenly, WHAM! a fly-
ing blur appears out of nowhere,
blindsiding the player, and level-
ing him to the ground. The player
smashes into a soggy puddle of
brown mud and wet grass, sliding
a few feet until finally collapsing
on the ground in a heaping mess
of limbs, dirt, and broomsticks.
Broomsticks? Thats right, this
scene did not take place at a Rugby
game it unfolded during a quid-
ditch match Sunday as a part of
The Second Annual Butterbeer
Classic at Vassar College.
A sport that is derived from
J.K. Rowlings famed Harry Potter
series, the muggle form of quid-
ditch was invented in 2004 by stu-
dents at Middlebury College, and
has been growing in popularity on
college campuses throughout the
country. Vassar has developed its
own following here, hosting the
second iteration of its tournament,
the Butterbeer Classic on Sunday.
Vassars squad, the Butterbeer
Brooers, took the title in the
round robin tournament, but
many agreed the day was more
about making friends and living
out childhood wizardry fantasies.
Though J.K. Rowling clearly
defines the rules of quidditch in
her books, things become kind of
complicated for those who cant
do magic. Poor muggles who want
to engage in the sport have to find
ways around their unfortunate
shortcomings, thus, the rules to
the land-based game are slightly
different that the ones in the wiz-
arding world.
Like in the books, each team has
seven players on the field: three
chasers, two beaters, a keeper,
and a seeker. Chasers move the
quaffle, which is usually a soc-
cer or volleyball, downfield and
attempt to throw it through one
of the other teams three mounted
hula hoops, which
is defended by a
keeper. If the chas-
ers prove success-
ful their team is
awarded 10 points.
Opposing Chasers
are charged with
tackling the ball
carrier or strip-
ping them in
order to obtain
possession, while
all players must
hold onto their broomsticks at all
times. This is where the game gets
interesting.
Quidditch is, somewhat sur-
prisingly, a rather intense sport,
said sophomore captain Daniel
Bossert. Naturally, there are
bound to be some injuries.
Three students were taken
off the field in ambulances at
the Quidditch World Cup at
Middlebury College earlier this
year. Watching the action play
out is like watch-
ing a combination
of handball, dodge
ball, basketball, and
rugby all meshed
into one.
Two beaters on
each team can use
bludgers (kick-
balls) to pelt the
other team. After
being hit by a
bludger, a player
must drop what-
ever ball they are holding and run
back to their own hoop, symbol-
izing the amount of time it would
take to fall of an aerial broom and
remount.
While all of this is going on, the
seekers have an important mission
to catch the snitch.
While Rowlings snitch is a
magical, flying, walnut-sized
golden ball, a muggle snitch is a
cross country runner dressed in a
ridiculous amount of golden and
yellow clothing with a tennis ball
in a sock tucked in the back of
his or her shorts. said sophomore
captain Molly St. Clair.
The Snitch is encouraged to
taunt, dance and anger the seek-
ers.
The Snitch can be caught any-
where, however he is encouraged
to return to the field every 10 to 15
minutes so everyone can witness
the spectacle of the chase.
While my inner nerd and my
outer athlete brought me to the
Butterbeer Broooers, St. Clair
said, it was the glorious people
I met on the team that kept me
there.
Ethan Shanley writes for
The Miscellany News at Vassar College
Quidditch is,
somewhat
surprisingly, a rather

TORONTO Jon Lester struck
out 11 in seven innings and the
Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto
Blue Jays 2-0 Wednesday night to
complete a three-game sweep.
Darnell McDonald scored one
run and drove in another to help
the Red Sox win their sixth straight
game in Toronto. The Red Sox
swept consecutive series of three
games or more in this city for the
first time since 1981 and 1982.
Toronto, which has lost nine of
12, was shut out for the second
time in four games.
Jonathan Papelbon worked the
ninth for his seventh save.
Lester (1-2) came in winless in
four starts with a 6.23 ERA but
was brilliant in this one.
He allowed just one hit, a lead-
off double by Vernon Wells in the
second, and followed by retiring
14 straight batters, a streak that
ended with Mike McCoys two-out
walk in the sixth. Lester finished
that inning by striking out Aaron
Hill, and ended his outing with a
1-2-3 seventh.
Daniel Bard took over in the
eighth and gave up a leadoff dou-
ble to Alex Gonzalez, then struck
out pinch hitters Adam Lind, Fred
Lewis and Travis Snider.
Jonathan Papelbon worked the
ninth for his seventh save.
With Lester silencing the Blue
Jays offense, Torontos fans didnt
have much to cheer about. One of
the loudest ovations of the night
from the 15,276 fans came when
word spread that the Montreal
Canadiens scored a third-peri-
od goal against the Washington
Capitals in Game 7 of their first
round playoff series.
AssociAted Press
ANAHEIM, Calif. Howie
Kendricks bunt single with
two outs in the ninth inning
drove in the winning run, and
the Los Angeles Angels beat
the Cleveland Indians 4-3
Wednesday.
Torii Hunter hit a tying, three-
run homer in the sixth, then
legged out a double leading
off the ninth against Joe Smith
(0-1).
Hideki Matsui was intention-
ally walked and reliever Rafael
Perez got Kendry Morales to
ground into a double play, mov-
ing Hunter to third. After an
intentional walk to Juan Rivera,
Kendrick surprised reliever Chris
Perez and everyone else with a
push bunt to the right of the
mound.
Angels closer Brian Fuentes
(1-1) got the win with a scoreless
ninth, retiring Asdrubal Cabrera
on a flyball and Grady Sizemore
on a groundout with runners at
the corners.
Indians starter Jake Westbrook
allowed three runs and four hits
over six innings. The 32-year-old
right-hander is still looking for
his first victory since undergoing
Tommy John surgery on June 12,
2008, and sitting out the entire
2009 season. He is 0-2 with a 5.53
ERA in five starts this year.
Hunter, who came in 10-for-41
lifetime against Westbrook with
no home runs, hit his second
homer of the season. He con-
nected after a one-out single by
Erick Aybar and a walk to Bobby
Abreu.
Westbrook retired his first 11
batters before giving up a two-
out single in the fourth to Hunter
one of only two players in the
Angels starting lineup who faced
him on Apr. 8, 2008 at Anaheim,
when he got his last victory in the
majors with a complete-game 4-3
decision over Ervin Santana.
Santana allowed three runs
and six hits over 6 2-3 innings
and struck out eight. He remains
0-6 lifetime against the Indians
with a 5.71 ERA in eight career
starts including a 13-4 loss
at Cleveland in his major league
debut back in 2005, when he
gave up a triple, double, single
and home run to his first four
batters.
Austin Kearns, who homered
and drove in five runs during the
Indians 9-2 win Tuesday night,
led off the second inning with a
double for his 10th hit in a span
of 20 at-bats. He advanced Travis
Hafners groundout and scored
the games first run on Jhonny
Peraltas sacrifice fly.
Indians No. 9 hitter Lou
Marson doubled off the top of
the 18-foot wall in right-center
leading off the Indians two-run
sixth. Manager Manny Acta came
out to ask the umpires to look a
replay to determine whether it
was a home run, but the call by
second base ump Paul Schrieber
stood following a short trip to the
video room.
Marson scored on an RBI sin-
gle by Sizemore that snapped an
0-for-13 drought. Shin-Soo Choo
beat out a bad-hop single before
Santana walked Kearns and hit
Hafner on the foot with an 0-2
pitch with the bases loaded to
give the Indians a 3-0 lead.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia
was ejected by third base umpire
Rob Drake in the second inning.
Drake ruled on an appeal that
Matsuis bat had inadvertently
crossed the plane of home plate
as he skipped out of the way of an
0-1 pitch at his feet and tried to
brace his fall with his left hand.
Angels win with ninth-inning bunt
MLB
Twins beat Tigers
after six-run inning
DeTROIT Brandon Boesch hit
a go-ahead double shortly after a
disputed play that got Minnesota
manager Ron Gardenhire ejected,
and the Detroit Tigers rallied for six
runs in the sixth inning to beat the
Minnesota Twins 11-6 Wednesday
night.
The Twins took an early 6-1 lead,
and still led by a run in the sixth.
With one out and a runner on frst,
Johnny Damon hit a deep drive
and center felder Denard Span ap-
peared to make a running catch.
Span, however, lost the ball after
taking two steps in the left-center
feld alley. After a lengthy discus-
sion, the umpires ruled Span
hadnt held the ball long enough
for an out, and Gardenhire was
tossed for arguing the call.
Detroits rally started in the
fourth when Inge led of with
a homer. Damon added an RBI
groundout later in the inning and
Ordonez followed with a two-run
single.

After Kansas could not get its ofense
going in the frst game, it came out on
fre in the second game. Kansas had a
season-high number of hits in only six innings of ofensive play.
Montgomery
Series to remember
In perspective
Freshman infelder Mariah Montgomery
In game one, Mariah Montgomery went 2-for-3
with Kansas only RBI, and in the second game,
she went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a double and a run.
In the last seven games, she is now 10-for-21. She
is also now one double shy of cracking the top 10
doubles in a season.
Stat of the night
14 hits
GaMe one: top of the fourth
The Shockers started the inning with a stand-up double, and two
batters later, Kansas missed a golden opportunity to get the run-
ner out at home, which would have given Wichita State two outs.
Instead the runner scored, and two more would cross home before
the inning was over.
GaMe two: bottom of the frst
After a stagnant frst game, Kansas ofense shrugged of the rust
and came out with three hits on the frst three batters. The after-
math was a run and runners on second and third with no outs. Even
though Kansas was unable to score more runs, it set the tone for the
rest of the game.
Key innings
Kansas has had a streak of coming out fat in the frst game of
a series, but then later returning with more passion in the second
game. Kansas stuck with this inconsistent streak, unable to get its
ofense going in the frst game, but then had season highs in the
second game. Kansas will need to smooth out these tendencies,
but will have plenty of time as the young team starts four freshmen.

Junior pitcher Allie Clark felds a hit that came back at her against Wichita State Wednesday at Arrocha Ballpark. Clark struck out three batters in
seven innings in the Jayhawks' 9-2 victory against Wichita State. Clark also went 1 for 3 at the plate, with one RBI.
game plan we put together for that
pitcher, Smith said. We chased
too many pitches and too many
rise balls, and we werent sup-
posed to do that.
The second game started much
better for Kansas as the first three
batters had hits, leading to a run
and runners on second and third
with no outs. But Kansas failed to
score another run in the inning.
The Shockers came back and
responded with two runs in the
top of the second inning, taking
the lead on a deep double, but the
potential third scorer was thrown
out at home to end the inning.
Kansas went back to work in the
second, scoring another two runs
and took a 3-2 lead into the third.
The Jayhawks started pouring it on
in the fourth, scoring five runs to
pull away from the Shockers 8-2.
Kansas added an extra run in the
sixth, and Wichita State couldnt
answer as Kansas won 9-2.
Smith said the Jayhawks turned
up the offense in the second
game.
We were sparked by our top
of the order by getting on base,
and then we were just attacking
the ball, Smith said. Im really
proud of their effort in the second
game.

1993 in the fnale of a four-game

lowering his ERA to 1.04.
Garcia benefted from not fac-
ing an ace for the frst time, after
opposing Yovani Gallardo, Johan

ARLINGTON, Texas Josh
Hamiltons two-run homer keyed
a five-run first, Rich Harden
pitched six innings despite
more control problems, and the
Texas Rangers held on to beat
the Chicago White Sox 6-5 on
Wednesday night.
Harden (1-1) allowed three
runs and four hits after lasting
less than five innings due to wild-
ness in three of his first four
starts. This time he hit two batters
and walked five, giving him 23
walks in his five starts.
The White Sox were unable to
capitalize until Carlos Quentin
ended a 2 for 37 slide with a
three-run homer off Harden in
the sixth that reduced the deficit
to 5-3.
The Rangers signed Harden as
a free agent in December to take
over one of the top two spots in
their rotation, but Hardens once-
dynamic fastball has been less
than imposing so far.
Neftali Feliz allowed RBI sin-
gles in the ninth to A.J. Pierzynski
and Alexei Ramirez before retir-
ing Juan Pierre
on a ground-
out for his
third save in
four chances.
C h i c a g o
starter Jake
Peavy (0-2) was
in trouble early
as Hamiltons
430-foot blast
got the Rangers
rolling in the
first. One out
later, Peavy walked three straight.
Two scored on Joaquin Arias
single, and Julio Borbon followed
with an RBI single to make it
5-0.
But Peavy got untracked, retir-
ing 16 of the next 18 from the first
through the sixth.
Peavy gave up six runs and six
hits in 6 1-3 innings with seven
strikeouts and five walks.
Michael Young hit a ground-
rule double off Peavy in the sev-
enth, and Young later scored on
David Murphys double off reliev-
er Randy Williams to stretch
Texas lead to 6-3.
White Sox manager Ozzie
Guillen didnt have slumping sec-
ond baseman Gordon Beckham
in his starting
lineup for the third
time in 21 games
this season.
Beckhams sec-
ond major league
season is off to a
15-for-73 start
with four hits in
his last 33 at bats.
Guillen said
Beckham is simply
trying too hard.
Like I say every
day, you cant come here and
think youre carrying this ball-
club, Guillen said. This is about
25 guys, not about one. Hes try-

to do good.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Milton
Bradley scored the tiebreaking run
on Rob Johnsons sacrifice fly in
the eighth inning and the Seattle
Mariners beat the Kansas City
Royals 6-5 Wednesday.
Ichiro Suzuki had three hits,
scored a run and drove in a run
for the Mariners. Suzuki, who
has a .377 batting average against
the Royals, had his major league-
leading 11th multihit game of the
season. He has a 14-game hit-
ting streak at Kauffman Stadium,
including a record eight consecu-
tive multihit games by an oppo-
nent.
Bradley doubled to leadoff the
eighth against Brad Thompson
(0-1) and moved to second on a
groundout. After reliever Dusty
Hughes walked Casey Kotchman,
Johnson hit a fly ball to left.
Brandon League (3-1), the
second of four Seattle pitchers,
picked up the victory by retiring
all four batters he faced. David
Aardsma got the last three outs
for his league-leading eighth save
in nine chances.
The Royals bullpen has a 3-7
record. The Royals finished the
homestand 2-4 with three of the
losses charged to the bullpen.
The Royals scored four runs
after two out in the sixth to tie the
score at 5-5. Jason Kendall, who
entered the game in an 0-for-11
skid, had a two-run single to shal-
low right. Mitch Maiers triple to
right scored Kendall and Alberto
Callaspo, who had walked.
Maiers triple finished Mariners
left-hander Ryan Rowland-Smith,
who had limited the Royals to one
run David DeJesus homer to
leadoff the game and three hits
the first five innings.
Royals starter Gil Meche, who is
in the fourth season of a five-year,
$55 million contract, gave up five
runs on eight hits and three walks
in six innings. Meche is winless
in four starts with a 10.13 earned
run average and opponents bat-
ting .338 against him.
Chone Figgins had a two-run
triple in the Mariners three-run
fifth. Suzukis infield single scored
Johnson with the other hit.
Mike Sweeney led off the sec-
ond with a walk, advanced to third
on Kotchmans single and scored

crowding the balcony for zealous
applause and support.
It feels great to be home,
Hoiberg said. Here I am, real-
izing my dreams. Fans, I want
that atmosphere back, I need that
atmosphere back, and its time to
bring the magic back to Hilton
Coliseum.
Joined at
the podium
by Athletic
D i r e c t o r
Jamie Pollard,
ISU presi-
dent Gregory
Geoffrey, and
Senior Associate
A t h l e t i c
Director Steve Malchow, Hoiberg
introduced his family and laid out
his plan for the future of Cyclone
basketball. Pollard said The
Mayor had been prepared to take
the job, and that he was the first
call for a potential replacement.
His introduction by Pollard to
the podium was greeted with a 45
second ovation from the Cyclone
fans in attendance.
Four years ago Fred Hoiberg
contacted me about his vision, his
interest, and his desire to someday
be our mens basketball coach,"
Pollard said. "At that time, we dis-
cussed that the timing just wasnt
right."
Fred Hoiberg is far more than
just a great player, a fan favorite,
and someone that wants to be a
coach Fred is a leader, Fred is
also a visionary, Fred is a Cyclone,
and most importantly, Fred is now
our head coach.
Hoiberg also announced that
assistant T.J. Otzelberger, a top
recruiter for Greg McDermott
,will be retained by Hoiberg, who
said that Otzelberger was his first
call upon receiving the job.
Im thrilled to have T.J. When
Jamie came up to talk to me, the
first thing that I said to him was
that my first call needed to be to
T.J., Hoiberg said. T.J. has been a
very good recruiter, and has had
some very good talent come to
Ames, and we will continue that.
The only other coach still listed
on staff for Hoiberg is Iowa States
all time leading scorer Jeff Grayer,
another ISU Hall of Game guard.
Grayer has limited college coach-
ing experience like Hoiberg, but
the two ISU stars paired together
should be able to muster some star
power on the recruiting trail.
Jeff s a legend, and the best
player to play at Iowa State
University, Hoiberg said.
The new coachs lack of coach-
ing experience may be glaring,
but Pollard and the coach himself
addressed the issue, citing years
of experience under legendary
coaches like Larry Brown, Johhny
Orr, and Tim Floyd. Hoibergs
most recent position is as the vice
president of basketball opera-
tions for the NBAs Minnesota
Timberwolves.
Those guys have sent me lists.
I cant tell you how many messages
Ive gotten saying, You need play-
ers? Ive got players for you. Im
excited guys, I cant even explain
to you how excited I am.
While the
current Cyclone
squad doesnt
return many
players or much
of the produc-
tion from last
seasons team,
the new coach
said he will play
to his teams
strength, and is
excited to get to
work.
It feels real
good to have a
head coach that has confidence
in you, and looking at you to be
the leader on the court, running
his squad, senior guard Diante
Garrett said. Hes a guy that played
in the NBA, and knows more than
I know. Him teaching me how to
play is going to feel read good.
Recruiting with the limited ros-
ter will be an immediate concern
for the coach, as well as filling out
his coaching staff. With his time
spent in management in the NBA,
Hoiberg feels confident about
using his professional contacts to
the programs advantage. He stated
going to class and graduation will
be important to all of his players,
but for possible recruits with eyes
on professional basketball after
ISU, Hoiberg can create opportu-
nities.
I look at the coaches in this
league that can get a lot of great
players. I look at Rick Pitino, and
John Calipari, Leonard Hamilton,
Lon Kruger, Tim Floyd, they get
a lot of McDonalds All-American
players, and they
have guys in the
NBA, Hoiberg
said. I have every
general manager
on speed dial on
my cell phone.
Thats going to be a
very good recruit-
ing tool.
An Al l -
American guard in
the 1994-95 season,
Hoibergs career
was marked by
important games in
the old conference, The Big Eight.
Known to inspire bouts of Hilton
Magic, the players will have an
Iowa State Hall of Fame player
waiting for them at the bench
Its incredible. Its like a dream
come true, I only have one year
left but I wish I had more, junior
guard Charles Boozer said.
Another All-American guard
from a little farther back had an
impact on the signing according to
Pollard. Both Hoiberg and Pollard
thanked Iowa State Hall of Famer
Gary Thompson for his assistance
to the program. Thompson stays
as a close confidant to Iowa State
basketball, and felt great about
Hoibergs return.
I hope people give Fred time,
Thompson said at the news con-
ference. I look at this program
right now and I try to be as opti-
mistic as I can. I told Fred that if
you can have a winning team next
year youd be Houdini.
Hoibergs contract is listed for
$800,000 a year for five years.
McDermott made the same
amount last season.
Hoiberg
Fans, I want that
atmosphere back, I
need that atmosphere
back and it's time to
bring the magic back
to Hilton Coliseum.
FRED HOIBERG
Iowa State head coach
care about school as much as they
should.
Because its the NBAs rule for
students to spend a year in college,
the NCAA can do nothing except
promote the top players until they
go pro.
For one year, we market, and we
sell that player, he said.
Vitales solution? Get a panel of
people who know the league well
great players and general man-
agers from history and have
them determine if a player can
play in the NBA right out of high
school.
If a player has LeBron James or
Kobe Bryants ability at that age,
dont make them go through school
if they dont want to, Vitale said. But
if a player does go to college, make
them spend three years, as college
baseball players are required to do.
Im giving you guys great stuff,
he said jokingly. Ive got to save
this for ESPN.

BALTIMORE CC Sabathia
allowed three runs in 7 and 2/3
innings, Robinson Cano homered,
and the New York Yankees took
control early against the Baltimore
Orioles in an 8-3 victory Wednesday
night.
Nick Swisher had his second
straight three-hit game for the
Yankees, who built a 6-0 lead in the
third inning against Jeremy Guthrie
(0-3).
Sabathia (3-1) gave up 11 hits,
struck out five and walked two. The
left-hander came within four outs
of becoming the first Yankee since
David Wells in 1998 to pitch three
straight complete games.
In 15 career appearances against
Baltimore, Sabathia is 10-1 with
a 2.62 ERA. He had pitched 54
innings at Camden Yards without
allowing a home run before Nick
Markakis connected in the seventh.
Miguel Tejada had two hits and
an RBI for the Orioles, who fell to
1-7 at home. Baltimores first win-
ning streak of the season a mod-
est two games ended.
Guthrie allowed seven runs and
six hits in 4 2-3 innings.
Three slumping hitters teamed in
the first inning to give the Yankees a
2-0 lead. After Derek Jeter ended a
2-for-16 slide with a leadoff double,
Nick Johnson (1 for 14) singled to
left. The ball got past Lou Montanez,
allowing Jeter to score and Johnson
to take second. After a groundout,
Alex Rodriguez (1 for 17) hit a
sacrifice fly.
In the bottom half, Sabathia
struck out Matt Wieters with run-
ners at the corners and two outs.
New York made it 5-0 in the
second. Jorge Posada was struck
in the right knee by a pitch, Curtis
Granderson snapped a 0-for-17 skid
with a single and both scored on a
triple by Swisher. One out later, Jeter
delivered a run-scoring fly to right.
Cano hit his sixth home run in
the third for a 6-0 lead. In the
Baltimore half, Tejada drove in a
run with a groundout.
