University students will lobby in Topeka
today against a bill allowing controversial
coal plant construction in western Kansas.
Amended House Bill 327 a bill concern-
ing energy production in Kansas passed
Thursday, but Governor Kathleen Sebelius
is expected to veto it. The bill will fail if the
House does not have enough votes to over-
ride the veto.
Johannes Feddema, professor of geogra-
phy, said the energy produced by the coal
plants will be sold to other states, and only
10 to 15 percent of the energy will be used
in Kansas.
James Roberts and Bridey Maidhof,
Overland Park seniors and volunteers for
the Great Plains Alliance for Clean Energy,
will attend the protest to show legislators
that young people are concerned about this
decision.
As a young person, this is not an issue
to just sit back and watch, Roberts said.
Legislators are making decisions at the
expense of our future health, environment
and economy.
State Representative Tom Sloan voted for
the bill last week. He said he felt honor bound
to vote for the revised version after add-
ing provisions that addressed Kansas public
health, environment and energy needs.
The decision makers are influenced by
financial pressures, Feddema said, and wont
live to see the long-term damage of their
vote.
It is the young people, the students and
their children, that will have to deal with the
impact of these decisions, Feddema said.
Feddema said he was concerned with the
amount carbon dioxide that will be released
each year.
Eleven million tons of carbon dioxide
over the next 50 years, which is the average
life-span of one of these plants, Feddema
said about the amount of emissions the plant
would release. You do the math.
Sloan said that number was taken out of
context.
They are taking an annual number and
ignoring the fact that the plant plans to miti-
gate those emmissions, Sloan said.
The power plant proposed for Holcolm
will emit 25 percent less carbon dioxide per
day than the Lawrence plant, Sloan said.
Roberts said he was concerned that the bill
was pushed through too fast without proper
discussion of both natural and coal produced
energy possibilities.
What we want is for the government to
have real talks about real solutions, Roberts
said. By pushing this bill through, they are
doing the state a great disservice.
Sloan said legislators spent three days lis-
tening to people speak against the bill and
then took four-and-a-half hours to discuss
and amend it.
We spent far more time on this bill than
most, Sloan said.
Maidhof said that over time, the plants will
drain the water supply and Kansas agriculture
will suffer.
No one is looking at the long run,
Maidhof said. The water supply is only going
to last 50 years, and then no more water.
Sloan said the coal plant had to retire 40
percent of the water in the Olagalla aquifer,
but that didnt mean the resources would
be used up. The plant would still have to
comply with the Kansas Division of Water
Resources.
Roberts said windmill farms, not coal
plants, were where the future of energy was
headed. He said investment in wind created
secure jobs and a healthy future.
Sloan said he supported wind farm con-
struction, but that it needed to be anchored
by other forms of energy to meet the coun-
trys demand for power.
At the end of the day, the lights need to
come on, Sloan said.
Students Maidhof and Roberts want stu-
dents to participate in Tuesdays event and
call their legislators.
A call is worth at least five petition signa-
tures, Maidhof said. It shows that you are a
real person.

Brandon Rush found out early Monday
morning that hed been selected to the coach-
es All-Big 12 First Team for the third straight
season. Only former Texas Tech player Andre
Emmett has matched the feat.
Exciting? Well, uh
I didnt smile at all, Rush, junior guard,
said. This is my third time getting it. Its
nothing special.
Coaches also named sophomore forward
Darrell Arthur to the All-Big 12 First Team.
They put junior forward Mario Chalmers on
the second team and senior forward Darnell
Jackson on the third team. The Associated
Press didnt select any Jayhawks for its All-
Big 12 First Team, but Arthur, Rush and
Chalmers were second team picks, while
Jackson made the third team.
Despite Rushs lack of positive emotion
about his selection, Kansas coach Bill Self
was impressed with his players achieve-
ment. All season, Self talked about how Rush
became a better player after suffering an ACL
injury last May. Rush, who was also named a
finalist for the Wooden Award on Monday,
has played inconsistently for stretches but
led the Jayhawks in scoring during confer-
ence play at 13.5 points a game.
Arthur was second on the team in scoring
and led the team in rebounding. This is his
first selection to an All-Big 12 First Team.
The Associated Press choice to not
include any Jayhawks on the first team disap-
pointed Self, but he wasnt surprised because
of Kansas balanced scoring.
If Im a voter and somebody asked me
who the best player on our team was, Self
said, Id probably change my vote from week
to week, too.
The coaches other first team selections
included Kansas State forward Michael
Beasley, Texas guard D.J. Augustin, Baylor
guard Curtis Jerrells and Oklahoma forward
Blake Griffin. Beasley won Player of the Year
honors.
He won the same distinction from the AP
and was joined on the first team by Augustin,
Jerrells, Griffin and Nebraska center Aleks
Maric.
OTher hOnOrs
The Big 12 coaches gave the Jayhawks a
few other awards. Sophomore guard Sherron
Collins won Sixth Man of the Year, and
Chalmers and senior guard Russell Robinson
were named to the Big 12 All-Defensive Team.
sChnellbaCher dies
Former Kansas athlete Otto Schnellbacher
passed away at 84-years-old on Monday
morning. Self said Schnellbacher had cancer.
Schnellbacher played football and basketball
at Kansas in the late 1940s. As a wide receiver,
he caught 58 receptions for 1,069 yards in his
career and played in the 1947 Orange Bowl.
He was a four-time all-conference selection
in basketball. After college, Schnellbacher,
a Sublette native, played in the NFL for the
football Yankees and the Giants. He also
played one season in the NBA.
He did so much for KU in so many
ways that didnt garner recognition with the
Topeka Jayhawk Club, Self said. He was a
Jayhawk through and through.

Youre a native of New Orleans,
La., whats drastically different
there as compared to Kansas? Do
you miss anything about that loca-
tion?
New Orleans is like a European
city; it has a rich culture. I miss
the food, the climate, the architec-
ture, and I miss the people, theres
a warmth and sense of community
and family there.
Youre a classics professor, what
all does that entail?
I teach one classics course per
semester. I teach Greek and Latin-
the languages and the courses in
translation for graduates and under-
graduates. I also teach courses in
classics and civilization like Roman
Literature and Civilization.
How do you go about translat-
ing works such as The Odyssey and
the Iliad?
It took seven years to do The
Iliad and three for The Odyssey, and
Im currently working on Dantes
Inferno. I want my translations to
take their place in the spectrum of
American poetry. I use living lan-
guage and I want it to be at least as
vital as a movie, through cinematic
techniques that take place, or the
way I shape scenes.
Whats beneficial about the
Greek and Latin languages?
First of all, the quality of the lit-
erature that they produced, theyre
still the classics, they still set the
standards. Ive worked with epics
and translated lyric works, Ive also
worked with philosophical prose like
Plato. Theyre not only the beginning
of our literary and cultural tradition,
but the very finest.
Have you ever traveled to Greece
and experienced the culture?
Oh yeah, its essential. These
works were produced in a certain
climate, theres a visual landscape
and theres a feel to the geography of
it that hasnt changed really, and of
course theres also the ruins. Theres
also what contemporary Greeks and
Italians have made of their culture.
Its interesting to see their point of
view.
You were appointed director of
the KU Honors Program in 2004.
What kind of work do you do with
that aspect of academics?
First of all, I supervise a superb
staff. Otherwise, I oversee all of the
operations: curriculum, undergrad-
uate research, national scholarship
corporations, as well as admissions
and completions standards.
How does the Honors Program
benefit the University students?
It provides the experience of
an excellent small liberal arts col-
lege within the context of a major
research university. The quality of
the students and the quality of the
instructors is also important.
What are some aspects of your
religion, Zen Buddhism, that peo-
ple might not know about?
I began practicing 35 years ago.
The main thing is meditation prac-
tice. I like Buddhas last words dont
believe anything I said, work it all
out for yourself. Its a personal prac-
tice; you can think of meditation as
a form of practical mysticism. Its
dropped out of a lot of religions that
people practice. I plan on teaching
an honors course in the Literature of
Zen next semester.
You are involved with the Kansas
Zen Center. What sort of services
does that offer?
It offers regular meditation prac-
tice and instruction, anyone can be
involved, theres not a prerequisite.
Whats one of your favorite
things about the University?
I really love the Spencer Museum
of Art. I like how Saralyn Reece
Hardy, the director, has opened it up.
Shes showing us that art presents us
with great questions.
In 10 years, where do you see
yourself?
Retired, playing three-cushion
billiards and practicing Zen.

Governor gets caught
in prostitution ring
NEW YORK Gov. Eliot
Spitzer, the crusading politician
who built his career on root-
ing out corruption, apologized
Monday after he was accused
of involvement in a prostitution
ring. He did not elaborate on the
scandal, which drew calls for his
resignation.
His stoic wife at his side,
Spitzer told reporters at a hastily
called news conference: I have
acted in a way that violates my
obligations to my family.
I have disappointed and
failed to live up to the standard
I expected of myself,he said. I
must now dedicate some time
to regain the trust of my family.
Spitzers involvement in the
ring was caught on a federal
wiretap as part of an investiga-
tion opened in recent months,
according to a law enforce-
ment ofcial who spoke to The
Associated Press on condition
of anonymity because of the
ongoing inquiry.
The New York Democrat,
identifed in legal papers as
Client 9,met last month with at
least one woman in a Washing-
ton hotel, the law enforcement
ofcial said.
The prostitution ring, identi-
fed in court papers as the Em-
perors Club VIP, arranged con-
nections between wealthy men
and more than 50 prostitutes.
Four people allegedly con-
nected to the high-end ring
were arrested last week.

Believe it or not, junior/senior
CLAS senator Joseph Pinaire actu-
ally wasnt elected as a senator,
he was appointed as one. I am a
replacement senator for the junior
and senior classes in the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences. I was cho-
sen by a replacement committee and
was not elected in the general elec-
tion, Pinaire said. His duties are to
represent his constituency of upper-
classmen in the College of Liberal
Arts and Science. He got involved
with Student Senate to learn what
they do for the KU students. I have
come to find that Student Senate has
a lot more power at the University
than I had once thought, he said.
Pinaire, a Junction City senior
majoring in communications studies
with a minor in leadership stud-
ies, has some impressive background
with politics. This past summer, he
interned for the U.S. Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Nancy
Pelosi. Pinaire is very concerned
with the environment, especially for
campus. One idea he has is for the
campus to run on alternative sources
of energy. How sweet would it be
to say that our campus is powered by
fuel cells or by a wind farm? Pinaire
said.
Another concern of his about the
environment is cleanliness and keep-
ing the KU campus clean. Some
people dont realize how beautiful
our campus is. Whenever I see a
plastic bottle or newspaper on the
ground, I find it very discouraging,
Pinaire said. Our groundskeep-
ers work very hard to keep campus
beautiful, and it would be nice to see
students do their part in this process
as well.
Outside of Senate, Pinaire is
very involved at the University. Hes
been involved in Beta Theta Pi fra-
ternity and organizations such as:
Natural Ties, Global Partners, Meals
on Wheels, Leadershape, Blueprints,
Greek Endeavor, Rock Chalk Revue,
Up til Dawn, Senior Class Advisory
Board, Mortar Board and the
University Honors Program. Pinaire
said that Natural Ties was his favorite
organization.
Pinaire has also studied abroad
as well. Hes done the Paris Summer
Language Institute and the European
Studies Summer Institute programs
and describes them as incredible
experiences. Pinaire has also trav-
eled to Prague, Brussels, The Hague,
Acapulco, Vancouver and Hawaii.
He said that Paris was his favorite
because of the food, the people and
the culture.
After graduation, Pinaire plans
to go to graduate school for global
communication, political communi-
cation and global management. I
am excited about the opportunity
to pursue a career in politics, non-
profit management, or by helping the
NBA expand into Europe, Pinaire
said when he got his masters degree.
Pinaire is a diehard fan of the NBA,
and his favorite team is the Dallas
Mavericks.
But at the University, Pinaire said
his favorite team was the football
team. I followed the team to the
Fort Worth Bowl my sophomore year
and followed the team to the Orange
Bowl my senior year, he said. It is
nice to see how the team has grown
throughout my time here at KU.
Pinaire is a basketball fan also, but
he says some of his friends give him
a hard time about it.
Some of my friends have called
me a heretic because I grew up a
KSU sports fan and came to KU as
a KSU fan, he said. Its safe to say
that my friends showed me the error
of my ways and transformed me into
a KU fan.

FUNERAL
19-year-old Nevada girl
mourned by family, friends
RENO, Nev. More than 3,000
mourners gathered Saturday night
to remember a 19-year-old college
student believed killed by a serial
rapist. They said she was a loving,
caring woman with many friends
and a winning personality.
Brianna Denisons body was
found in a Reno eld on Feb. 15.
Police said she was abducted Jan.
20 and strangled by a man linked
to two earlier attacks on the edge
of the University of Nevada, Reno.
Her cousin, Spencer Terry, said
Denisons spirit would continue
to live in the hearts of friends and
family.
Could anybody have asked for
a prettier face and a more beautiful
soul? I dont think so,Terry said.
Friend Danielle DeTomaso said
Denison embraced all kinds of
people.
She knew people from all walks
of life, DeTomaso said. She was the
glue that held all of us together.
Denisons aunt, Lauren Deni-
son, reminded the crowd at the
Reno-Sparks Convention Center
that we still have a job to do: bring
Briannas killer to justice.
The sophomore at Santa Bar-
bara City College in California was
visiting her hometown over winter
break when she was abducted
while she slept on a couch in a
friends home just o the Reno
campus.
Outside the memorial service,
several members of a fundamental-
ist Kansas church faced o against
more than 150 counter-demonstra-
tors.
The stando, which occurred
during a erce snowstorm, ended
peacefully when police escorted
the three protesters associated
with the Westboro Baptist Church
away from the convention center,
Sgt. Chris Lange said.

Skanks, bitches and big-booty hos.
The creative validity of these words
in hip-hop lyrics will become an
object of contention tonight during
a panel discussion that is part of
Womens History Month.
The event will address whether
ethnic women should fight against
these terms used in popular music.
Adrianne Nunez, Lawrence
senior, said she thinks it is a womans
responsibility to not allow others to
talk about women that way.
The labels are bad, but you dont
see women fighting it either, Nunez
said.
Maxwell Hinman, Wichita sopho-
more, said the songs can have a posi-
tive effect on women.
I think that songs like I like
big butts has actually done a lot for
women, Hinman said.
He said the stick-figure image of
beauty changed after that song.
Now women with figures like
Beyonc are considered beautiful,
when before people didnt see those
women as attractive, Hinman said.
Kathy Rose-Mockery, director of
the Emily Taylor Womens Resource
Center, said women have made prog-
ress, but they still have a ways to go
before gender is not the primary
focus.
We need to critically look at the
images in the media and what they
say about the value of women in
society, Rose-Mockery said.
Jonathan Robinson, Oklahoma
City sophomore, said he sees rap
in some of the poems in his poetry
class.
A word can mean one thing, but
have the faade of something else,
Robinson said.
Ashley Sanders, Kansas City, Kan.,
junior, said, Sometimes a rapper will
say this is my bitch, but they mean
this is my woman. My main girl.
Robinson said that some hid-
den lyrics can be worse than what
they sound, like in Soulja Boys
Superman.
Its a two-way street, Robinson
said. Songs can be degrading in any
style.
Robinson said people should judge
songs instead of labeling genres.
Hinman said that when he listens
to rap and hip-hop he enjoys the
more old-school rap.
It is more explicit. It will come
right out and say bad things, but it
doesnt hide anything, Hinman said.
Jasmine Turner, Kansas City, Kan.
freshman, said hip-hop is like a busi-
ness.
It is always adjusting to what
people want to hear, she said. It is
not always, good, but it is necessary.
To become famous, you have to
push boundaries, Robinson said.
You have to be on the edge to set
yourself apart and get peoples atten-
tion, Robinson said.
Nunez said that women have the
responsibility to be careful about
where they place themselves in the
music industry.
It is getting better, Nunez said.
Some women in hip-hop are mak-
ing women look strong, and that is
good, but they still have a long way
to go.
The panel discussion tonight is
one of several events being spon-
sored in March by the center, which
serves as a resource for gender issues
and sponsors programs about issues
such as body image and sexual vio-
lence.
The event, which is being put
on with help from Sigma Lambda
Gamma and Kappa Alpha Psi, is
tonight at 7 p.m. in the Sabatini
Multicultural Resource Center.

Panelists will discuss womens lead-
ership roles in the military today as
part of Womens History Month.
The Emily Taylor Womens Resource
Center is sponsoring the seminar,
Womens Roles in the Military: The
Challenges of Leadership. The semi-
nar will take place today from noon
to 1 p.m. in the Jayhawk Room of the
Kansas Union.
The event will feature two panel
members from Fort Leavenworth and
two members from the University of
Kansas Army ROTC program.
Angela Oliver, assistant direc-
tor of the Student Involvement and
Leadership Center, coordinated the
event. She said the seminar was one of
three in a series this semester to focus
on women in leadership roles.
Oliver said she thought women in
the military would be a good topic
because of the war in Iraq.
According to the Womens Research
and Education Institute, women cur-
rently constitute about 15 percent of
all military officers. That number has
increased since 1948, when women
could not legally constitute more than
two percent of the military force.
Second Lt. TiCondra Swartz, schol-
arships and admissions adviser for the
KU Army ROTC, will be a panelist
at the event. She said the number of
women in leadership roles in the mili-
tary could be higher.
There are so many people that
look up to women in leadership roles,
Swartz said. I think its good for them
to set an example for our younger
female and male soldiers.
Lt. Col. Sandra Leiker, adjunct pro-
fessor in the KU Air Force ROTC,
said the opportunity for women to
occupy leadership roles in the military
has changed significantly in the past
20 years.
She said Maj. Marne Sutton and
Maj. Elizabeth Sweeney, both panelists
from Fort Leavenworth, would bring
a unique perspective to the panel dis-
cussion because both have achieved
higher-level leadership positions.
Currently, most military occupa-
tions are open to women, according to
the Womens Research and Education
Institute. But the Department of
Defense has restricted combat posi-
tions to men.
Swartz said many women think
they are as capable as men to fill many
of these restricted leadership roles.
There are a lot of females that are
like, Hell, I can do that, she said. If
they want to do it, I think we should
give them an opportunity.
Panelists will discuss these and
other topics, which Oliver said would
be relevant to KU students.
We dont want to focus entirely
on the negative aspects, Oliver said.
We also want to highlight a lot of the
progress that has been going on.

HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19)

his or her behavior will be con-
sistent over time. Youll know.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8

Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 5

be too much confusion out
there. Pay the bills and go over
your shopping lists again. Your
priorities will change.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
Keep a lid on your enthusiasm.
It would be easy to allow oth-
ers to talk you into something
youre better off without. Stay
away from used car lots.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 5
Your forward progress is halted,
so dont worry about it. Take
this opportunity to fully assess
your surroundings. A path will
appear to you soon.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 9
You and a loved one are full of
ideas about where youd like
to go next. Other things take
precedence, giving you time to
make up your minds.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 5
Caution is advised in fnancial
matters. Its not a good day to
gamble, shop or even pay your
bills. Dont even talk about
money.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

ment ruin your tranquil mood.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

can get out on time. There will
be complications. Dont let them
knock you off purpose.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A very attractive person has
rather expensive tastes. You
dont have to go along with
each and every whim. Show
your love in other ways. Dont
try to buy affection.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 6
You may have to concede this
argument. Dont take it too
hard. Be a good sport, even if it
costs you more than youd like
to pay.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7
Its easier to concentrate now,
so catch up on your reading. You
may discover why one of your
fantasies wont work. This is
good to know.

Matt Damons wife pregnant
with couples second child
NEW YORK Matt Damons
personal life is getting as action-
packed as his movie roles.
The Bourne trilogy actor
and wife Luciana, 32, are expect-
ing their second child, Damons
representative, Jennifer Allen, said
Monday.
The couple is very excited, Al-
len told the Associated Press.
She said she did not have
further details, or a due date for
the baby.
Damon, 37, met Luciana,
who debuted her baby bump at
Sundays Empire Film Awards in
London, while she was working as
a bartender in Florida.
They tied the knot in December
2005 in New York during a private
ceremony attended by the brides
daughter, Alexa, then 7, from a
previous marriage.
They later welcomed a daughter,
Isabella, to the family in June 2006.
Damon, who won an Oscar as
co-screenwriter of 1997s Good
Will Hunting, has carved a niche
as an action star with the Bourne
flms and is now flming the CIA
drama Green Zone in Morocco.
His screen credits also include
roles in Saving Private Ryan,The
Talented Mr. Ripley and Syriana.

What the hell is this? For the
past three months, whenever
Im having sex, the Pizza Street
song comes in my head, and I
cant do it anymore.
I spent a weekend in my home-
town recently, and I came home to
something curious that had been
mailed to me. My mother told me
I had received the famous Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which
seemed odd. I had not ordered it,
and frankly, had not realized it was
out yet.
As it turns out, the issue comes
as part of my subscription to Sports
Illustrated, which is still delivered to
my parents house, but the circum-
stance behind acquiring it really isnt
what matters. What matters is what
it has made me consider since seeing
the magazine in my mail.
Getting the issue reminded me
of my early teenage years, when I
had barely begun to discover those
strange and wonderful beings known
as girls. It was easy to assume at
that age, looking at glorified bathing
suit ads, that most women I would
meet later on in life would be as
apparently flawless, and as willing to
wander around in bright green two-
pieces, as the ones featured in SIs
annual Swimsuit Issue, or Maxim,
or, for that matter, anything else in
mainstream media.
My only hope was that most
women would have names that were
easier to pronounce than all the
famous ones.
Apparently one of the guidelines
for being beautiful is that the persons
last name must have at least three
syllables, with at least one vowel that
represents a sound it really shouldnt.
Of course, it became apparent to me
after a while that this was not how
they were. Not just the name thing,
but I was quite thankful for that.
The mainstream media paint a
picture of a world where you are
only important if you are physically
perfect by the standards that they
have set.
Your skin must be clear. Your hair
must be perfectly groomed in all
conditions. Men have to be ripped,
and women have to have certain pro-
portions. Otherwise they are horri-
bly flawed, and they must work hard
to overcome those flaws. The fact of
the matter is that normal people are
rarely like that, and the world still
spins in the right direction.
This isnt to say that the people
we are told are the standard for
perfection are off in another world,
by any means. They can come from
anywhere, even the University of
Kansas.
Look at the Women of KU cal-
endar. Its a standard swimsuit cal-
endar, with gorgeous scenery, little
clothing and women who will, in
all likelihood, never go out with me,
but it is comprised entirely of KU
students.
Fun fact: I just found out that
one of the models from this years
calendar is a girl I went to middle
school with.
There is not enough space in a
column for this newspaper to go
into all of the problems with being
bombarded with images of super-
models as the norm for society. That
young people are negatively affected
by this idea seems to be more widely
acknowledged.
Numerous eating disorders and
self-esteem problems have been
documented because of teenagers
becoming desperate to live up to the
supposed standards that their favor-
ite television channels and maga-
zines have set.
I am not here to offer a major
solution to the problem. I can only
offer some advice.
If you want to improve how you
look, feel free. Work out, dress nice-
ly, wear a little makeup if any of
that suits you. Just dont take it to
an extreme. You dont need to look
you are ready to be pasted on a
billboard.
Besides, your friends wont appre-
ciate having to learn the new, more
difficult way to pronounce your
name.

An ode to the hardworking TA
We have all been there before.
Sitting in an auditorium class where
300 to 400 students are sleeping,
doing the Sudoku or crossword
puzzle, and minds are drifting away
from the subject being taught.
An hour, maybe an hour and 15
minutes drift by, and then you sud-
denly snap when the teacher says
there will be a quiz next time on
this lecture.
You try to recall what he or she
was even talking about. You go in
panic mode but later realize that
you have your usually dreaded dis-
cussion session of the course. You
breathe a sigh of relief and, under
your breath, whisper, Thank God
for the TAs.
Teaching assistants, perhaps
an under-appreciated group of
people, are there to save the day
when your inattentiveness con-
sumes most of your class time. If
I had $5 for every time a teacher
said I was inattentive, I would have
about $100, but the point is that
my mind tends to wander into the
great beyond during class. With
this thought in mind, I recite my
silent ode to the TAs.
Im glad you are here to help me
learn about the uninteresting topics
that I dont care about, and Im glad
that you understand that because
you were in my shoes maybe only
five years ago, perhaps with a disin-
terest in a different subject.
Im glad that you make a hard
and honest effort to get me to learn
the subjects at hand so that I wont
get hindered by a subject that is not
even related to my selected major.
Im glad that someone who
knows what Im going through and
can really relate to me will guide
me through these perilous times
of mind-boggling algebraic for-
mulas and the ever-changing lines
made up in a graph for supply and
demand in economics.
Im glad that you can speak with
the students directly, practically
face-to-face, and discuss the mat-
ters at hand. It feels like a friend
who will not quit until you under-
stand the subject.
Granted, all of you TAs havent
been so kind. There have been
some of you who have been short
with me and the rest of the class.
In doing so, you have only goad-
ed us to not listen to you and
to ignore the subject altogether.
It doesnt, seem that you hold the
students intelligence high in regard
to your teaching methods.
By doing this, you are only crip-
pling yourself, seeing as how you
are making yourself an incapable
teacher to the majority of the stu-
dents.
For the most part, I cant com-
plain. Many of you T.A.s have been
understanding, insightful, and,
thankfully, humorous. You are
actually able to retain our atten-
tion and, in time, our respect and
admiration.
May you carry this on as you
become a teacher or professor and
are able to enlighten young minds
into learning.

Lindsay Lohan's younger

It's no secret about the prob-
lems Lindsay Lohan has had the
past few years.
As much of a "partier" she is, I
think she has, or I guess 'had' talent
that she wasted away with her
personal life. Just when the media
kind of stops talking about Lindsay,
news comes out from E! that they
are giving Lindsay Lohan's little
sister, Ally Lohan, her own reality
show.
Seriously?! Yes, I am dead seri-
ous.
Reality television is ridiculous

only one requirement to actually
have a reality television show: You
Need To Have A Face.

BY TAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
The Jayhawks hope to gain back some
of their original spark when they play the
Cornhuskers tonight at 8:30 in Kansas
City, Mo., in the first round of the Big 12
Tournament.
The womens basketball team had a cer-
tain spark when it played against Nebraska
on Feb. 17. Perhaps it was the pink uniforms
that made Kansas 62-61 victory so exciting.
More likely, it was that sophomore guard
Danielle McCray won the game at the free-
throw line with 1.4 seconds on the clock, the
Jayhawks third win in their last four games
at the time.
After that game, the talk from Kansas was
about finishing at least 8-8 in conference
play and getting to the NCAA tournament.
Five agonizing losses later and those ideas
are long gone. But the Jayhawks still have
a chance to recapture the magic from that
Sunday afternoon.
Though she would have liked to pick up
some victories along the way, McCray likes
the fact that her team will go into the game
knowing it can win.
We could come away with a W if we do
the right things and do the process we did for
that game, McCray said. We got them into
some foul trouble, we focused on the game
plan and we executed what we had to do.
When the Jayhawks traveled to Lincoln,
Neb., for their second Big 12 contest on Jan.
12, the Cornhuskers blew them away, 71-51.
We felt like when we went to Nebraska
the first time we played terrible, senior for-
ward Taylor McIntosh said. It was just nice
to get a win and get it going again when we
played them here, but we still gave them too
many free-throw chances.
In the first meeting, Nebraska was near-
ly perfect from the free-throw line, mak-
ing 30-of-32. The second time around, the
Cornhuskers shot an ice cold 17-for-34 from
the charity stripe.
Nebraska gets to the line so frequently
by taking the Kansas defenders one-on-one
and driving to the rim to draw fouls. Coach
Bonnie Henrickson said she thought the
Cornhuskers wouldnt shoot just 50 per-
cent again so, to stay in the game, her team
couldnt commit so many fouls.
Another thing Henrickson needs from
her players is more focus and fire out of the
locker room in the second half. In the last
five games Kansas has given up big runs to
start the second half, making it difficult to
crawl back into the game.
You go back to how many games at the
four-minute mark its been a one-possession
game, where weve dug ourselves such a big
hole out of the locker room but then were
good enough and were tough enough to
make it a one-possession game, Henrickson
said. Then we dont make enough plays
down the stretch to get on the right end.
If theres a Jayhawk whos going to get
her team on the right end itll probably be
McCray. Shes been the go-to player all sea-
son and wants to put the team on her shoul-
ders when the game is on the line.
Not only would McCray like to get her
team a victory just for them, but as the No.
11 seed, she knows that not a lot is expected
of the Jayhawks.
Everyone has their different doubts
about us, McCray said. It would mean a lot
to come back and beat a team that we beat
before and a team thats doing really good in
the conference.

Kansas used 10 players off its bench and
six pitchers out of its bullpen during its
weekend series with North Dakota State.
Today also, the Jayhawks (8-5) may
make at least six calls to the bullpen and
most of those 10 substitutes could see
significant playing time against the Tabor
Bluejays (5-11). When playing NAIA foes,
Kansas coach Ritch Price prefers to let his
bench players see some action.
While plenty of underclassmen should
be able see the field for Kansas, Price will
turn to senior right-hander Hiarali Garcia
to start the game. In four appearances
out of the bullpen this season, Garcia has
allowed just one unearned run on four hits
with one strikeout.
But Garcias outing should last only a
couple innings before Price hands the ball
to others in his bullpen.
Price may also start most of his regular
starters in the field. Although the Jayhawks
have scored 62 runs during their six-game
winning streak, Price would still like to see
his offense improve on driving runners
in when they get into scoring position. In
three games against North Dakota State,
Kansas left a total of 27 runners on base.
But Price is encouraged that the cogs
in his lineup are all starting to hit more
consistently. Entering last week, senior left
fielder John Allman, who led Kansas in
hitting last season, is hitting .172; senior
shortstop Erik Morrison, known as E-
Mo, is hitting .242; and sophomore sec-
ond baseman Robby Price is hitting .200.
Heading into todays game, the players are
up to .300, .292 and .244, respectively.
Allman got his average up to .300 and
I think he was under the Mendoza Line
when the week started, Price said. On top
of that, E-Mo broke out in the second game
and Robby got four hits in the doublehead-
er, so the three guys whove been struggling
a little bit have got it going.
The offense also received a boost over
the weekend with the return of junior
catcher Buck Afenir. He was one of Kansas
top hitters before missing four games with
a pulled hamstring he suffered legging out
a triple against Vanderbilt in the Music
City Classic.
But Sunday, in his first at-bat since the
injury, he announced his presence with
authority, hitting a home run deep to left-
center field. By the end of the weekend,
Afenir had raised his average from .389 to a
team-best .409 and his slugging percentage
from .560 to a team-leading .727.
With Kansas first Big 12 series coming
up this weekend with No. 19 Texas, the
Jayhawks biggest challenge may be trying
not to overlook Tabor today and Missouri
State Wednesday. However, if the Jayhawks
can remain focused on improving their
weaknesses in the next two games, theyll
roll into Austin with a full head of steam.
Its always harder to keep your focus
with the lower level teams I guess, but
Missouri States pretty good, Afenir said. I
think well get up for that game. We always
give them a game and they always give us
a game.

Adverse Possessors win championship
Intramurals

game. Riley and the Adverse Possessors beat showtime 55-45.
BY WHITNEY HAMILTON
whamilton@kansan.com
With the spirit of Phog Allen in their pres-
ence, two teams fought for the intramural
mens basketball title on Monday night. The
Adverse Possessors and Showtime battled it
out in the championship and fought until the
last second in Allen Fieldhouse.
The hard work paid off for the Adverse
Possessors as they clinched the title in a 55-45
victory. The stands were scattered with faith-
ful supporters for both teams. They showed
their spirit and incorporated some distrac-
tions just like at a packed Kansas mens bas-
ketball game. Even Baby Jay made an appear-
ance and clowned around with fans, while
getting people pumped for the game.
The Adverse Possessors won the tipoff,
starting the game with high energy as both
teams sped to the lane and tried to gain some
points. At first, both teams had difficulty
sinking a basket and the game seemed more
like a tennis match as the ball went back and
forth between both sides of the court.
Some of the Allen Fieldhouse mystique
got to us in the first half, Jesse Temple,
Overland Park graduate student and Adverse
Possessors player, said. The tempo quickly
changed as the Adverse Possessors made the
first three-point shot of the night and fueled
Showtimes vengeance.
Showtime player Jarrett Austin, Brunswick,
N. J., freshman, used the glass for two points.
Adverse Possessors tried to gain a bigger lead
by shooting more three-pointers from behind
the arc, but ended up hitting the rim on a few
shots. The Adverse Possessors found a break
when Showtimes player Brandon Uloho,
Wichita senior, gained his first foul and gave
Cameron Karlin, Lawrence graduate student,
a chance for points. The game continued to
get increasingly more intense as the fans in
the stands started yelling defense and the
players on the benches shouted to their team-
mates on the court.
Showtimes Samuel Allen, Wichita gradu-
ate student, hit a perfect three-point shot
from the wing making the Adverse Possessors
only six points ahead. The Adverse Possessors
gained possession of the ball and Temple fired
a three-pointer from the wing in response to
Allen.
In the seconds ticking from the first
half, Adverse Possessors were still up by
five. Showtime player Phillip Benibo, Lenexa
senior, grabbed the ball and dribbled to
the outside. With only 2.2 seconds left, he
released the ball from behind the arc, but the
ball hit the rim and bounced off as the buzzer
sounded.
Showtime turned up the heat in the second
half and players from the sidelines reminded
teammates not to let them set it up referring
to Adverse Possessors solid outside shooting.
Feeling the sense of urgency, Matthew
Riley, Hutchinson graduate student and
Adverse Possessors player, sped right through
two Showtime players and shot at the baseline
for a two-point bucket.
The intensity of the game was at its peak
during the last two minutes of the game. Once
Adverse Possessors had possession of the ball,
Showtimes defense stayed on its men and
made it hard for the Adverse Possessors to
move to its side of the court in time, result-
ing in loss of possession. Still, the clock on
the scoreboard ticked away the seconds and
Showtime couldnt measure up to Adverse
Possessors in its ten-point victory. Kevin
Sterk, Chicago graduate student and Adverse
Possessors player, thought his team played
better in the second half resulting in the win.
We slowed the ball down in the second
half, Sterk said. In the first half, we seemed
to be rushing.

trivia of the day
fact of the day
Q: Who holds the NHL record
for most career hat tricks?
A: Wayne Gretzky. Nicknamed
The Great One, Gretzky recorded
50 hat tricks (making three goals
in one game) during the span
of his 20-year career with four
teams. He also notched two hat
tricks in the Stanley Cup.
www.hockeynut.com
As a spin-of of the traditional
hat trick, Florida Panthers fans
began celebrating rat tricks in the
1996 NHL season. When celebrat-
ing multiple goals in a game, the
fans threw plastic rats onto the ice.
The tradition started when right
wing Scott Mellanby killed a rat in
the Panthers locker room before
a game and went on to score two
goals.

A few gentlemen, and I wont
mention any names, were jumping

Big 12 Awards
Womens basketball writers
Taylor Bern and Andrew
Wiebe selected the Big 12s
most impressive perform-
ers of 2008.
Coach of the Year
Deb Patterson, KSU
One year after fnishing 11th
in the conference, Kansas
State won the regular season
crown despite struggling to
an 8-5 non-conference re-
cord. Pattersons turnaround
in the top conference in the
country is sure to get her
national consideration for
coach of the year as well.
Player of the Year
Courtney Paris, OU
Paris posted a double-
double in every single game
this season and ranks frst in
the Big 12 in rebounds and
second in points. She afects
a game more than anyone
in the conference and really,
anyone in the country.
Newcomer of the Year
Dominic Seals, TTU
The Big 12 tabbed Seals as its
preseason Newcomer of the
Year and the junior transfer
from South Plains College
lived up to the hype. She led
the Lady Raiders in points,
rebounds and blocks, and
fnished the season with
eight double-doubles.
Defensive Player of the
Year
Courtney Paris, OU
Any post player thats about
to play Oklahoma would be
wise to lower their ofensive
expectations. Paris owns the
paint on both ends of the
court, but takes particular
pride in her defensive prow-
ess. Paris is frst in the confer-
ence in blocks and averages
an amazing 9.2 defensive
rebounds per game, more
than any other player.
Sixth Man of the Year
Kathleen Nash, UT
At 6-foot-2, Nash provides a
great inside-out presence as
she can post up on the block
or shoot a three-pointer. She
started only eight games this
year but averaged 8.3 ppg
and 6.6 rpg and shot 39 per-
cent from beyond the arc.

Oklahoma over Baylor
Experience will conquer all when
it comes to the Big 12 Tournament
fnals. The No. 1 seed Kansas State
is too green to win as the favorite,
and Oklahoma has a chip on its
shoulder after fnishing last in the
top tier of fve teams. The Sooners
have won the Big 12 Tournament
the past two years. When it comes
down to the fnal minutes of the
close games, Oklahoma knows
what to do better than any other
to come out victorious.
Predictions for Big 12 Tournament; who will hoist the trophy?
Big 12 womens basketball writers Taylor Bern and Andrew Wiebe predicted the outcome of the Big 12
Tournament, but they disagreed on the champion. Here is what each of them thinks.
By Taylor Bern
tbern@kansan.com
Baylor over Oklahoma
If any team should have the
motivation to walk away with a
Big 12 Tournament Championship,
its the Bears. Losing to Oklahoma
State in its fnal conference game
gave Kansas State the Big 12 title
outright, and Baylor will be hungry
for their share of the conference
silverware. Standing in the Bears
way will be junior center Courtney
Paris. Though Paris is the most
dominating player in the country,
Baylor will be facing her in her
fourth game in fve days. Paris fa-
tigue combined with two victories
over the Sooners in conference
play means the Bears will break
the Sooners two year grip on the
Big 12 Tournament crown.

Green tries luck for second
time with St. Louis Rams
ST. LOUIS Trent Green, who
ended last season on injured re-
serve after his second severe con-
cussion in 13 months, on Monday
agreed to terms on a three-year
contract with the St. Louis Rams.
Green will be the backup behind
Marc Bulger in his second stint
with the Rams. He was supposed
to be the starter in 1999 before
a preseason knee surgery paved
the way for Kurt Warner, who led
the Rams to their frst Super Bowl
victory.
Green visited Rams Park last
week and had been mulling a deci-
sion whether to keep playing.

Softball
Jayhawks bat .750 in victories during weekend opener
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
kbreckunitch@kansan.com
The Jayhawks had a stellar week-
end in their home opener, win-
ning three out of four games in the
Jayhawk Classic. They dropped only
their last game of the tournament
against Western Illinois.
The team opened the tournament
with a run-rule victory over Indiana
State. The KU offense scored one
run in the second inning, five in the
third and three in the fourth. Junior
catcher Elle Pottorf hit her second
home run of the season and moved
into a tie with head coach Tracy
Bunge for sixth place in all-time
career home runs at Kansas. In the
third inning, the Jayhawks brought
11 batters to the plate. Sophomore
pitcher Sarah Vertelka made her
return to the mound and earned
the win while senior first basemen
Addy Lucero had a career day with
five RBI.
The Jayhawks second game of
the tournament was the opposite
of the first. Junior pitcher Valerie
George held her end of a pitch-
ers duel to earn the victory against
the Pittsburgh Panthers. Neither
team scored a run until the seventh
inning. Freshman second basemen
Kolby Fesmire had the first triple
of the season for the Jayhawks to
drive in the first run of the game.
Sophomore first basemen Amanda
Jobe had the game-winning home
run in the top of the tenth.
In the third game, the Jayhawks
beat Indiana State again. Freshman
pitcher Allie Clark picked up the
win. Junior third baseman Val
Chapple had two hits and scored one
run and sophomore right fielder Ally
Stanton went one for three with one
run driven in in the 4-3 KU victory.
In the first inning of Mondays
game, the Jayhawks hit two back-
to-back doubles from freshman
catcher Brittany Hile and Stanton.
Western Illinois came right back
with two runs in the bottom of the
second against Vertelka. Hile added
another double in the fifth inning
to drive in her second run of the
game. Junior center fielder Dougie
McCaulley caught Western Illinois
pitcher sleeping, which allowed her
to advance to second in the seventh.
However, the Hawks couldnt capi-
talize on it. The final game of the
series ended with a 4-3 loss.
Vertelka was coming back from
sickness and struggled with her
rhythm Monday. She is a little out
of sync, still trying to find her way
back into the rotation and she strug-
gled a little bit today, Bunge said.
The thing Ive liked about this
time is theyve been very resilient
and weve had a couple of bad losses
somewhere along the line and weve
really done a good job of bouncing
back, Bunge added.
Over spring break the Jayhawks
will host the Kansas Invitational, as
well as a doubleheader with Bradley
and a pair of road games that will
start the Big 12 season against
Oklahoma.

14.7 ppg, 7.0 rpg
Sophomore
McCray was the
hero the last
time these teams
squared of and
shell be eager to
play that role again.
McCrays concern tonight needs to
be staying out of foul trouble be-
cause if shes not on the court, the
Jayhawks dont have a chance.
LaChelda Jacobs, 5-foot-10

Making her frst
start of the season
against Kansas
State, sophomore
Jacobs ofense
was stellar but
defensively
she allowed Kansas States guard
Shalee Lehning to score a career
high 29 points. The Jayhawks need
her athleticism out on the court
but she cant be a liability for them
defensively or shell move right
back to the bench.
Taylor McIntosh, 5-foot-11
forward
6.7 ppg, 6.8 rpg
In the 62-61 vic-
tory over Nebraska
on Feb. 17, fresh-
man McIntosh was
one of four Kansas
players to score in
double fgures. The
Jayhawks will need
an interior presence to hang with
the Cornhuskers forward Kelsey
Grifn, and Jayhawks freshman
center Krysten Boogaard hasnt
looked up to the task lately.
Taylor Bern
McIntosh
Kelsey Grifn, 6-foot-2 junior
forward
14.9 ppg, 7.2 rpg
In two previous
meetings with
Kansas, Grifn
proved she was
nearly unstoppa-
ble when she had
room to put the ball on the foor.
The Jayhawks have responded by
fouling the All-Big 12 selection
at every turn. Grifn has gone
to the free throw line 18 times,
making 14. The Cornhuskers will
take every opportunity to isolate
Grifn against freshman Krysten
Boogaard and Nicollette Smith.
Danielle Page, 6-foot-2 senior
forward
12.6 ppg, 6.6 rpg
Despite
waiting until her
senior season to
claim a start-
ing position,
Page has started every game
for Nebraska and led the team
in minutes and blocks. As the
Cornhuskers lone senior, Page has
every reason to step her game up
even more. She will be looking to
lead her team to a deep run in the
Big 12 Tournament. If both Page
and Grifn are on their ofensive
games, Kansas could be in for seri-
ous foul trouble.
Yvonne Turner, 5-foot-8 sopho-
more guard
8 ppg, 2.6 spg
Though her
three-point
shooting lagged
until the confer-
ence schedule
began, Turner
has shot 39
percent from behind the arc in 16
Big 12 games. She is also a lock-
down defender and was named to
the All-Big 12 Defensive team as a
sophomore. Turner was able to get
Kansas guard out of rhythm in the
meeting in Lawrence. If she can
stay out of foul trouble, the Jay-
hawks will have trouble running
their ofensive sets.

After 3-year break, Nomo
pitches victory against Giants
SURPRISE, Ariz. Hideo Nomo got
a spring-training win in his quest
to earn a job with the Kansas City
Royals. San Franciscos Barry Zito
was hit hard again.
The 39-year-old Nomo, who has
not pitched in the major leagues
since 2005, allowed two runs in
three innings during Mondays 15-
6 victory over the Giants.
Nomo, the winningest Japanese
pitcher in major league history
with 123 victories, gave up four
hits, struck out one and walked
none. He did not pitch last season
following elbow surgery in 2006.
Nomo has a 2.25 ERA in three
starts, allowing three runs two
earned and 10 hits in eight in-
nings with six strikeouts and two
walks.

Coach Connie Yoris team has all
but sewn up a spot in the NCAA
Tournament win or lose against the
Jayhawks. Though Kansas last win
came against Nebraska, it hasnt
won since and the Huskers will be
keen to avenge that loss. Its all
about battling for seeding now for
Yori and the Cornhuskers, and the
Jayhawks could be their frst victim.
Can Nebraska convert fouls
into points at the free throw line?
The diference between the
Cornhuskers 20-point victory in
Lincoln and the last-second loss in
Lawrence is as simple as their abil-
ity to make free-throws. In the frst
meeting Nebraska was 30-of-32.
The lose in Allen Fieldhouse saw
Yoris team make 17-of-34 and fall
by one. By most indications, the
Cornhuskers are the superior team.
If they take advantage of their trips
to the line, Kansas should have
trouble keeping up.
The last time Kansas pulled
out a victory, it was in a thrilling
fashion at home against Nebraska
on Feb. 17. If the Jayhawks want to
get a win in the Big 12 Tournament
theyll have to play even better
than they did in that game. In Kan-
sas loss in Lincoln, Neb., hit 30-of-
32 free throws. Then in Lawrence
the Cornhuskers were just 17-for-
34. Nebraska wont shoot that bad
from the free-throw line, so Kansas
must keep them from getting there
in order to have a chance.
Can Kansas recapture the
magic it had in Allen Fieldhouse
on Feb. 17?
The 62-61 victory against Ne-
braska on that Sunday afternoon
was arguably Kansas biggest win
of the season. It was the Jayhawks
third victory in four games and had
them primed for an NCAA berth.
Five straight losses have stymied
any NCAA tournament talk. They
still have a shot at the Womens Na-
tional Invitation Tournament and
a victory against the Cornhuskers
would all but lock them into it. The
Jayhawks once looked like an elite
team in the conference but the
challenge is to again fnd that form
before its too late.
