PAge 6B 47 34 36 16 t student senate By Nicole Kelley nkelley@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Starting next semester, there could be a noticeable increase to student campus fees. The Athletics Department asked Student Senate to increase the Womens and Non-Revenue Sports fee for the frst time in a decade. This would better sup- port those teams. I believe that the students will readily support it because they have seen what support can mean to womens sports, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director. Every three years, each campus fee is reviewed by a committee to determine if it is still at an ac- ceptable amount. Andrew Payne, Garden City junior and chairman of the Fee Review Committee, said the Athletics Department submitted two proposals to the committee last Tuesday. The frst proposal would in- crease the current $20 amount by $5 per student per semester. In 1996, when the fee was frst added, the amount represented 31 percent of the Womens and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports budget. see Fees on page 4a Student Required Campus Fees: Fall 2005 & Spring 2006 This is a breakdown of the required campus fees, which every student pays each semester in tuition. n Student Senate Activity Fee $17.50 nStudent Union Fee $45.00 nStudent Health Fee $92.00 nChild Care Facility Construction Fee $4.00 nWomens and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee $20.00 nStudent Recreation Fee $62.00 nStudent Media Fee $3.00 nCampus Safety Fee $2.00 nEducational Opportunity Fee $6.00 nCampus Transportation Fee $18.00 nCampus Environmental Improvement $3.00 nLegal Services $8.50 nNewspaper Readership Program Fee $5.00 nMulticultural Resource Center Construction Fee $3.50 nStudent Union Activities Fee $5.00 ToTAl $294.50 Source: Student Senate Fees may increase Money would support athletics I believe that the students will read- ily support it because they have seen what support can mean to womens sports. Jim Marchiony Associate Athletics Director t obituary Templin resident dies after collapsing t CriMe Knock, knock; girl with knife at door By MiKe Mostaffa mmostaffa@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Jon Englert heard his door bell ring at 9 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday. He got up to open the door expecting to see a friend who was coming over to play Halo 2 after the big game. Instead, he said he was greeted by a tiny woman with a knife. The woman, who was no tall- er then 5 feet 2 inches, told En- glert, Syracuse sophomore, that she was sorry to bother him but that she had a knife and needed $20, according to a police re- port. At frst I didnt know if I should just punch her in the face or just slam the door, En- glert said. Englert said he slammed the door on the would-be robber, locked it, and called the police. Englert said that he could not get a good look at the woman, but that he noticed her face was covered almost entirely with a scarf and a stocking hat. Police arrived at Englerts apartment complex, near 23rd and Kasold streets, and began to search the area for the suspect. Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said the department could not fnd any suspects who matched her description. He said police found a wool scarf, a gray stocking cap and a kitchen knife with a black han- dle near the crime scene. Englert said the incident didnt really bother him. He found it more puzzling then nerve-racking. But now he thinks twice be- fore opening the door every time it rings, he said.

Its a day for extra inventory and long hours, almost always resulting in a substantially larger payoff than the years other 364 days. Heres a look at how four lo- cal businesses prepare for the most romantic day of the year. Y Carol Morgan, Russell Stover Candies manager While sticking price tags to displays hold- ing the famous boxes of chocolate, Carol Mor- gan looked tired. The crew at Russell Stover Candies, 1300 W. 23rd St., ordered its Valentines Day inventory in October and has been preparing for its busiest day of the year ever since. If youre prepared and you know whats coming, you get your help lined up, your products lined up, and Id like to say it goes smoothly. Morgan said. Well, it goes smoother. Of course, the candy industry does a great deal of business during the month of February. Morgan gave numbers that even the most extreme chocolate lover would have trouble digesting. In the fve days leading up to the big day, her store does 20 to 25 percent of its business for the entire year, Morgan said. Although Wal-Mart and other discount chains sell Russell Stover products, this store sells all the Russell Stover candies on the market. Morgans crew makes its own sweets, too, such as chocolate-dipped fruit and nut clusters. Already approaching 60 hours this week in the kitchen, Steve Agnew, Atchison senior, said that his Valentines Day would start at 6 a.m. in the store. CARol MoRgAnS IdeAl VAlenTIneS dAy gIFT?

Andrew Rotman, Cawker City freshman, was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The cause of death is unknown. Jesse Niebaum, Pittsburg freshman and one of Rotmans roommates, said he greeted Rotman in the hallway Sunday night about 8:30 p.m., right be- fore Rotman collapsed. Rotman was a well-in- tended, goofy guy who was open to anything, Nie- baum said. Rotman once created an entire meal out of juice at Mrs. Es, he said, and stole his roommates barbecue sauce while they were trying to eat. Rotman graduated from Lakeside High School in Downs in 2005. He received numerous academic scholarships from the University of Kansas and was named to the Fall 2005 Honor Roll. He also served as the public relations and technology director for the Association of University Residence Halls. Jessica Sullivan, AURH president, said the hardest part for her Monday was remembering the in-depth conversation the two had Sunday at Mrs. Es about Mondays AURH meeting. Im still blown away, Sullivan said. He was just a really good kid. Chancellor Robert Hemenway issued a statement Monday expressing the Universitys condolences. The sudden loss of such a bright young man who was flled with promise and who had already begun an active college career in the short time he was at KU flls us with great sadness, Hemenway said. We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. Edited by Vanessa Pearson Freshman remembered as well-intended, goofy Rotman gradu- ated from Lake- side High School in Downs in 2005.

Napoleon Bonaparte By elizABeth lAsure tHe assocIated press NEW YORK Zachary Lewis is looking for a date with a posi- tive attitude. Josh Wolf would like to spend time with someone polite and friendly. Zaheer Malik wants a girlfriend who is not too serious and not too silly, but in between. All three are learning about dat- ing and relationships as part of You and I, a program for young adults who are retarded or autistic or have other mental disabilities. On Monday night, about a dozen participants gathered to make ziti, salad and garlic bread and learn the cha-cha at a pre-Valentines Day party. I just love hanging out, George Korawyckyj, 19, said. At You and I events, the par- ticipants the guys outnumber the women 16 to three learn social- sexual skills, with specifcs on body language, grooming and conversa- tion starters. There are also sections on feelings, body awareness and sex education. The programs coordinator, Bo- bra Fyne, says it can be tough for parents to realize that their children are adults who are ready for relation- ships. Jeanette Reyes said her 20-year- old autistic son, Anthony Hasan, loves girls dearly but didnt know how to connect with them. She de- cided it would be better for him to learn about dating from people she trusted. I didnt know how it would be, but I knew I couldnt be afraid any- more, she says. Each session ends with a dance hour. Wolfs mother, Roberta Wolf, said the dancing is a big plus for her 28- year-old son, who works in the mail- room at Goldman Sachs. He loves to dance, and any opportunity for a dance party is the biggest draw for him, she said. Maliks mother got tears in her eyes when she saw her 29-year-old son dancing for the frst time. You and I is aimed at twenty- somethings who live with their par- ents in New York City and are fall- ing through the cracks. ... Theres just no social outlet for them at all, said Fyne, who started her frst group in 1999. In an exercise last week, group members drew hearts. Outside the hearts, they completed the sentence I want somebody who looks like.... Inside the hearts, they completed the sentence I want somebody who treats me ... The really juicy stuff is inside the heart, Fyne said. One writer wanted somebody who isnt afraid of me because I have a disability. Members also practice phone con- versations and have workshops on how to say no and how to get out of diffcult situations. A holiday session was about gift-giving on a budget. NYC program offers dating tips t natiOn By hoPe yen tHe assocIated press WASHINGTON The govern- ment squandered millions of dollars in Katrina disaster aid, including handing $2,000 debit cards to peo- ple who gave phony Social Security numbers and used the money for such items as a $450 tattoo, auditors said Monday. Federal money also paid for $375- a-day beachfront condos and 10,777 trailers that were stuck in mud and unusable. Overcharges, poor account- ing and abuses will take months or years to rectify, the Govern- ment Accountability Offce and the Homeland Security Departments inspector general concluded in pre- liminary reports on how billions of dollars in taxpayer money is being spent. The Federal Emergency Manage- ment Agency recognizes it made many, many mistakes, and is work- ing on improvement, said Homeland Security inspector general Richard Skinner. But theyre not where they should be. In some cases, the govern- ment will have little legal recourse to recoup payments to contractors for payments. Separately, the Justice Department said Monday that federal prosecu- tors had fled fraud, theft and other charges against 212 people accused of scams related to Gulf Coast hur- ricanes. Forty people have pleaded guilty so far, the latest report by the Hurri- cane Katrina Fraud Task Force said. Many defendants were accused of trying to obtain emergency aid, typi- cally a $2,000 debit card, issued to hurricane victims by FEMA and the American Red Cross. The GAO report found that up to 900,000 of the 2.5 million appli- cants who received aid under the emergency cash assistance program which included the debit cards given to evacuees based their re- quests on duplicate or invalid Social Security numbers, or false addresses and names. In other instances, recipients im- properly used their debit cards in- tended for food and shelter for $400 massages, a $450 tattoo, a $1,100 diamond engagement ring and $150 worth of products at Condoms to Go. The reports called for stronger controls to verify the eligibility of di- saster victims who apply for aid over the phone and Internet, better plan- ning of emergency supplies for hur- ricanes and improved accounting of FEMAs vast inventory of temporary housing. Senators decried the problems. Once again, FEMA failed to ad- equately plan for the very type of disaster that occurs virtually every year, said U.S. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) who chairs a Senate panel reviewing the governments response to the storm.

Presented by Dr. Chriss Walther-Thomas By RogeR PetteRson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Drivers shoveled out of their cars, stranded travelers waited impatiently for trains and planes to get back to full service, and utility crews struggled to restore power Monday after a record- breaking weekend snowstorm hit the Northeast. Most highways had been cleared in time for the morn- ing commute, though many city streets and sidewalks were still snow-packed and slippery. Hundreds of schools can- celed classes from West Virginia to Massachusetts, but young- sters did not get a holiday in New York City, where subways continued running and major streets had been plowed despite a record-breaking 26.9-inch snowfall. I never want to see snow again, Laura Guerra, 27, of Miami, said after spending the night on a cot at New Yorks LaGuardia Airport. She said she had not seen snow since she was 4, but I got it out of my sys- tem. The storm blanketed the East Coast from Maine to the moun- tains of western North Carolina, where Robbinsville got 20 inch- es of snow and a scenic highway remained closed Monday by 6- foot drifts. Airlines worked to catch up after canceling hundreds of weekend fights at major air- ports, stranding travelers in the Northeast. All three major New York- area airports Kennedy, La- Guardia and Newark had reopened by Monday morning with limited service. Amtrak still had numerous storm-related schedule changes. Some passengers were stranded Sunday on the Long Island Rail Road east of New York City, where trains got stuck on snow-covered tracks. One train was marooned for fve hours. Limited LIRR ser- vice into Manhattan resumed on Monday morning. Usually the trains never stop. Its never been like this, Rebecca Karpus said Monday as she waited to return home on the LIRR after being marooned at Penn Station since 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Its very, very poor emergen- cy planning on the part of the Long Island Rail Road to have passengers stranded for 10, 15, 17 hours, fumed Walter Garcia, 39, who spent almost 18 hours at Penn Station. The storm also knocked out power across parts of the North- east, most severely in Maryland, where utilities personnel said more than 48,000 homes and businesses still had no power Monday. About 16,000 custom- ers lost power Sunday in New Jersey, but almost all of them had electricity again on Monday.

Snowfall hinders travel in Northeast 4A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2006 NEWS BY JOHN HEILPRIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON The American bald eagle, after bat- tling back from the threat of ex- tinction because of habitat loss and DDT, took another step Monday toward coming off the endangered species list. The Interior Departments Fish and Wildlife Service issued draft voluntary guidelines spell- ing out how landowners, land managers and others should pro- tect the bird once it no longer is safeguarded by the 1973 law. It also proposed prohibitions on disturbing the bald eagle, which could include anything that would disrupt its breeding, feeding or sheltering or cause in- jury, death or nest abandonment. The Clinton administration proposed removing the bald ea- gle from the endangered species list in 1999. But the delisting has taken far longer than the typical year, partly because updated counts are required from each of the states, and some of those have their own rules that add to red tape. Ofcials said Mondays ac- tion could lead to the bald eagle coming off the list within the next year or so. Should the eagle be del- isted, we expect that the public will notice little change in how eagles are managed and protect- ed, said H. Dale Hall, the Fish and Wildlife Services director. He said at least 7,066 known nesting pairs now exist in the contiguous United States. The bald eagles territory stretches over much of the North Ameri- can continent. Tens of thou- sands more live in Alaska and Canada, where their existence never was imperiled. However, 43 years ago, there were just 417 known nesting pairs left in the lower 48 states. In 1967, under a law that preced- ed the 1973 Endangered Species Act, the erce raptor was of- cially declared an endangered species in the lower 48. NATION Eagle closer to ying free from list FEES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Because of the expansion of the Athletics Department, the fee accounts for only 10 percent of the budget and is expected to be 8 percent in two years. Cory Kel- ly, West Des Moines, Iowa, freshman and member of the Fee Review Co mmi t t e e , said the Athlet- ics Department asked for the increase to be close to 31 per- cent because the money it got doesnt go as far. The sec- ond proposal would increase the fee to $40, which would allow the Ath- letics Depart- ment to build a new womens rowing boat- house. Marchiony said the boathouse was a top priority for the Athlet- ics Department and would give the team the maintenance and support it needed. Payne said no consensus was reached at the committees rst meeting because it didnt have enough information at the time. He said the committee would meet again and would make a suggestion to the full Student Senate about how the in- crease should be handled. Obviously, because we have that fee, the students really have a priority in the Womens and Non-Rev- enue Sports, Payne said. However, we feel the money could also go towards other avenues. If Senate decides the increase re- quested was of a substan- tial enough amount, the option may be given to the students in a referendum on election bal- lots this spring. Other fees up for review this year are the Child Care Facility Construction and the Student Health fee. Both fees are expect- ed to pass through the review with no changes. Edited by Vanessa Pearson Busy-ness CONTINED FROM PAGE 1A Y Susan Engle, Englewood Florist owner Peeking into a freez- er in the basement, known by employees as the dungeon, one could see cut and ar- ranged owers lining the chilly shelves. Each holding a card addressed to the apple of some Lawrencians eye, they waited in vases to be deliv- ered. Its a little bit like a play, said Susan Engle, owner of En- glewood Florist, of Valentines Day in her shop. You work so hard at rehearsals, ght at the dress rehearsal and somebody is going to be yelling at some- body else. Sure, its going to get a little tense, but then you get to the show and realize this is why we do this. Its all about the ap- plause. Today is Engles 13th Valen- tines Day as a orist at 1101 Massachusetts St. She and Cary, her husband and co-owner of the store, start their Valentines Day preparation on February 15th of the previous year. What other businesses will do in a month, well do in one day, Engle said. On a typical day, Englewood Florist will deliver anywhere between 30 to 50 orders. Today, however, Engle said that they already had more than 200 de- liveries planned and 40 to 45 ex- tra drivers who are temporarily hired. Not that everyone is organized enough to have their owers picked out in an orderly, timely man- ner. Engle said that until they implemented a new computer- based system to organize orders and deliveries, it was those latecomers that contributed to their 2 to 3 a.m. Valentines Day eves. SUSAN ENGLES IDEAL VALENTINES DAY GIFT? It might be that chair massage, she said of the treat shes bringing in to thank her employees. But even though you work with owers all the time, you just cant not enjoy them. Y Robert Osburn, Naughty But Nice co-owner His bigger sales are to couples. Osburn and his brother, Rich- ard, opened Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., to- gether in December of 1999. It has been a Valentines Day hot spot ever since. Typically just one worker can take care of the store and handle the custom- ers without help. But close to Valentines Day, they bring four people out at a time for extra help, Osburn said. Its the one day of the year that there are no excuses, Os- burn said. You have to be here. To accommodate the demands of his customers, Osburn bulks up his inventory for Feb- ruary. Items such as lingerie and high- heeled dancer shoes both sell at a much higher rate around Val- entines Day. The shoes go up because thats the time the average gal may want to wear some of the dancer shoes for what they call porn star sex, Osburn said. Osburn said he catered to stu- dents, but not nearly to the same extent as who he called the typi- cal 9-to-5-ers. But when it comes to the pinnacle of romance, its the couples that seek his advice. Theyll come in for some- thing they both like and they both can have fun with, Os- burn said. Its kind of like go- ing to the grocery store he likes this, she likes this and they settle on that.

Y Jennifer Hoyt, Tellers server Jennifer Hoyt has worked ev- ery Valentines Day for the past ve years, but the Topeka senior doesnt even argue about it. You make a lot of money on Valentines Day, she said. Im pretty used to it by now. Rest au- rants such as Tellers, 746 Massachusetts St., are noto- rious for being packed on the big day. Hoyt said that the money was good, but a lot harder to come by than usual because of the increased number of two-person parties. That just means you have to work a lot harder for your mon- ey, Hoyt said. Serving food to so many de- ters Hoyt and her boyfriend from wanting to go out when it is nally their turn to celebrate, but she isnt looking past her work ahead just yet. I just come to work, get dressed and make sure to get lots of rest the night before, because its going to be crazy busy, Hoyt said. JENNIFER HOYTS IDEAL VALENTINES DAY GIFT?

Edited by Gabriella Souza The Delta Sigma Phi colony lost its opportunity to become a potential fraternity chapter Monday because of nancial difcul- ties. The colony of 22 members had been put on nancial proba- tion by its national headquarters. After the colony failed to meet a nancial deadline, the head- quarters pulled the plug. The colony folded in October and decided not to try to regain its charter, said Brett Jentz, former president of the colony. The colony started in 2003 after the headquarters made a proposition to start the fraternity at the University. It had been a fraternity at one time, but the dates of the chapters existence were not recorded. National headquarters allowed Delta Sigma Phi to try again for a chapter in the future. Rachel Parker CAMPUS Delta Sigma Phi will not be a fraternity at KU Because of the expansion of the Athletics Department, the fee accounts for only 10 percent of the budget and is expected to be 8 percent in two years. Cory Kelly, West Des Moines, Iowa, fresh- man and member of the Fee Review Committee, said the Athletics Department asked for the increase to be close to 31 percent because the money it got doesnt go as far.

Jason Shaad, opinion editor, Nate Karlin, managing editor and Patrick Ross, associate opinion editor, conducted a phone interview with provost candidate Jack Burns at the University of Colorado-Boulder on several issues. The following are the questions and his selected answers. Q: What about the University appeals most to you? A: Theres a history of some strong and stable leadership at the University with Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger, and traditionally the deans have been in place a good deal of time. The lead- ership has also been very visionary. Two other things attracted me to the University that may be more relevant to you: One was looking at the student satisfaction sur- veys that show a high level of satisfaction of students in their education at KU. Thats consistent with the morale of the students that I met with during my visit. Thats coupled with the rate of the level of alumni giving, because when alumni are happy with the education they received, they tend to donate more back to the University. KU has one of the highest alumni giving rates of public universities in its peer group of institutions. The student satisfac- tion and the alumni satisfaction says a lot to me. Q: How would you approach the Universitys four-year graduation rate? A: One area that Ive put a lot of work into is thematic learning com- munities. I talked to some folks at the University about that last week. KU has begun experimenting with them now and has had some good success. I think there are some 400 students this year, freshmen, who are in the thematic learning communities. The national statistics on these are extremely encouraging. There is a dramatic improvement in the retention rate between freshman and sophomore years, something like 20 percent higher between students in learning communities and those who are not. It also carries over into graduation. There is a signicantly higher graduation rate of those who participate in learning communities. Thats an area that in general adds to the educational opportunities for students. I would like to work on expanding it at KU. It really is an opportunity for students to learn outside of the classroom and to work in teams, which is very similar to what youre going to nd when you work in any discipline. Q: What is your stance concerning alcohol on campus? A: In Colorado this is the kind of thing that is driven home to me in sev- eral different ways. Personally, I worry about the alcohol issue. My wife and I have twins, both of whom are 21, and are going to the University of Colorado. Weve had a lot of discussions with them about alcohol and the ways in which its used and abused on campuses. Last year, we had two deaths at Colorado universities due to alcohol over-consumption and alcohol poisoning. That really drives home an issue of great concern to any of us who are faculty, administrators or parents. Im not very com- fortable with alcohol in areas where underage students may be, whether its a bowling alley or another place on campus. I would just prefer to see the campus, as it has, continue to work toward alcohol-free zones. Q: How do you feel about making end-of-term teacher evaluations available to the public? A: Let me just mention that here at the University of Colorado, our stu- dent evaluations are made public. In general, Im comfortable with that. Some caveats need to go along with that. First of all we have to realize that the evaluations are pretty blunt instruments. They dont really cap- ture all the students learning. So one of the things weve done here, and one of the things that I would encourage if I were to be provost at KU, is a collaboration between students, faculty and administrators to improve, using the best social science data available, the evaluation forms and to improve the questions. Secondly, there are other ways of evaluating classes. One thing that we started doing here are student evaluations of the syllabus because thats another evaluation of what the class is about and how its been successful. Thirdly, we do a lot of peer review of teach- ing. There are other faculty from either the same department or other departments who come in and evaluate faculty. We use that as a tool to improve teaching and for tenure promotions. But some aspect of that also feeds in to students knowledge of a class. In general, I like an open process, but we need to make improvements to that process. Q: What do you want to do to fulll Chancellor Robert Hemenways vision of KU as a top 25 university? A: I think what the chancellor is really getting to is enhancement in the excellence and quality of the University as a whole. That includes student learning, where what we need to do is to continue to rene our measures of success in student learning. We were talking earlier about graduation rates as one measure, but there are a number of others. There are satisfac- tion surveys, the success students have in getting jobs, getting into gradu- ate schools and scores on LSATs and MCATs and GREs, all of which go into some combination of measures of success in student learning. Also, success, excellence and quality in faculty scholarship in the disciplines that KU is already strong in humanities, social sciences, the sciences, engineering, business, law thats very important and there are some measures that can be used there. Finally, in terms of thinking about a top 25, measuring excellence in terms of service to the state and the nation. That can include how KU students are contributing to the work force, new companies that spin out of the University of Kansas and contribu- tions to the state economy. All of those are ingredients for excellence and success, and you couple that with new initiatives like the cancer center and the expansion of the Hall Center, and all these things are going in the right direction. Q: What is your snow day policy? A: My attitude has always been safety rst. If you have freezing rain or snow, you really have to look at students, staff and faculty, and how safe or dangerous it is to come onto campus. That should be the main criteria. Second candidate shares his views Burns Real friendship means more than casual contact Because it is Valentines Day, somebody needs to stick up for all of us singles out there who will be visiting a video store, watching the Olympics, ordering out or other- wise doing anything but celebrat- ing with a committed signicant other. Sure, we could wallow in self-pity or stuff ourselves with chocolate (or another just as intoxicating substance), but I think we should do something better: Thank goodness that we dont have committed signicant others. Im sure there is lots of joy and happiness to be found in relation- ships. My best friends are married to each other now after several years together, while other friends have been in relationships for some time. So I say this with some trepidation, but I think the current system of dating is really not the best for producing meaningful relationships for our age group. Dating as our society has under- stood it since our parents started getting frisky (by the way, eew) is that when two people think they like each other, they start dating. After a short (sometimes very short) period, those two people then become exclusive or steady, and if they last long enough, they start to take on the characteristics of married couples. That is, after all, the goal of dating: To prepare a young person for marriage, or, at the very least, a committed partnership with another person, through practicing what it takes to sustain a lifelong relationship with a loved one. However, dating has another purpose: Helping us gure out what we want in a mate. After all, why spend your entire life with a blonde when, deep down, you al- ways preferred brunettes (or better yet, redheads)? And forget physi- cal features. Wait until the brass tacks of keeping a checkbook, farting in front of the parents, or getting sloshed on a more-than- regular basis come up. Through dating, we are supposed to keep a mental tally of what qualities we nd attractive, and to oh-so-gently keep an eye out for somebody who might seem more qualied. Thus, our dating system has at its core two systemic, mutually-exclu- sive objectives: To commit yourself to somebody, and yet to think of all the reasons why you wouldnt want to commit to that somebody. I havent even gone into the notion of hooking up. What, then, is the alternative to dating? Well, unfortunately, mail order isnt the be-all, end-all some might have anticipated. I would say that we drop the exclusivity from dating, but that seems to lead to the aforementioned hooking up. Perhaps all that we can do is realize the futility of the situation that society has thrust us into, take all relationship advice with a grain of salt, and not worry so much about being single. As if you wanted to share your chocolate in the rst place. Scarrow is a Humboldt se- nior in history. RYAN SCARROW opinion@kansan.com Dating culture causes conict COMMENTARY I dont have a wish list for Valentines Day this year. I realized that I dont need Russell Stover chocolates or a new dress that hugs in all the right places to wear to dinner. The holiday that reminds some of the love they dont have, others of the love they share, reminds me of the love of my friends. Today, the ribbon will be cut on the room named after Nicole Bingham at the new Ronald McDonald House. It would have been her ultimate dream to be forever immortalized into an orga- nization she loved so much, which was made possible through the donations of Alpha Delta Pi. Last semester, we struggled together, cried together and let it all hang out in a way that would have made Nicole proud. When we found out that Nicole had died in the Boardwalk Apartment re, we rallied together. I became closer to friends than I thought possible and realized that to nd the true meaning of sisterhood, I had to look no farther than my friends. Through the depths of tragedy, we were able to nd light in those closest to us. All we can do now is pay tribute in a way that we think she would have wanted. October was an intense month full of tears and eventually laughter. It was a terrible event, but Nicole would have wanted her passing to make us open our eyes and realize how much we mean to one another. The most important lesson I learned through the boxes of Kleenex is that nothing replaces the love of a friend. People often get so wrapped up in their own lives and the duties that surround it that spending time with friends gets shoved in the to do pile. I am denitely guilty of that. I have a hard time juggling two jobs, school and trying to nd time to sleep at night. Sometimes, the only time during the day I see my room- mates is when I get into bed. This needs to change. Friends are more than people to bar hop down Massachusetts Street and eat lunch with. Fair-weather friends wouldnt hold your hair back while you embrace the porcelain god or bail you out of jail. True friends are the ones who would visit you in the hospital and y across the nation to attend your wedding. So let the change begin today and always let your friends know how much you care. Drop them little notes during their stressful weeks at school or work. Write a funny saying on their Facebook wall. Bake them cupcakes on their birthday (I recommend Funfetti cupcakes). Four years in college will go by faster than you realize; spend your time with the people who matter most. Its about more than dinners, Sex and the City episodes and working on a car together. Try to make sure that your time spent with them is more than How are you? when you pass them in a hallway of Budig Hall. If you usually go to Target by yourself, make a few phone calls and see if anyone else wants to tag along. Your normal conditioner shop- ping trip could turn into more laughter than you thought pos- sible in the aisles of a store. Invest what would normally be beer money in a good camera. Buy your friends picture frames and go picture crazy one night. Give them each a funny photo that will make them smile for years to come. The more pictures I take of my friends, the more I realize that those images are worth more than I could ever say. Above all, remember that those who truly care about you will be beside you when the world seems to crumble at your feet. Dont wait until its too late to visit a friends new apartment or give them a hug. This Valentines Day dont just spend it with a signicant other, make a point to tell your friends that you care and support them. Gold is a senior in journalism and political science.

Last-minute shopping WORLD Hussein chants against Bush at hearings BY HAMZA HENDAWI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD, Iraq Prosecu- tors tried to link Saddam Hus- sein directly to torture and ex- ecutions, producing documents with his orders and handwriting and putting one of his closest condants on the stand Mon- day. The former Iraqi leader and his co-defendants were forced to attend the session. Saddam appeared in a traditional Arab robe and bedroom slippers in- stead of his usual crisp suit, arguing vehemently with the judge and shouting Down with Bush! as he waved his nger. His top co-defendant and half brother, Barzan Ibrahim dressed only in long under- wear struggled with guards as he was pulled into the court- room. Ibrahim, the former chief of intelligence, then sat on the oor with his back to the judge in protest for much of the session. The defendants have reject- ed court-appointed attorneys named to replace their own law- yers who walked out of the trial last month, and are demand- ing the removal of chief judge Rouf Abdel-Rahman. In Jordan, Saddams chief defense law- yer said there were no plans to end the boycott and denounced the court for forcing the former leader to attend. This is a cheap attitude, Khaled al-Dulaimi told The As- sociated Press. After the raucous start, pros- ecutors made their strongest attempt yet to prove Saddams role in a wave of arrests and ex- ecutions that followed a 1982 attempt on his life in the Shiite village of Dujail. Twenty-six prosecution wit- nesses have testied since the Saddam trial began Oct. 19, many providing accounts of tor- ture and imprisonment in the crackdown, but they could not directly pin them on Saddam. For the rst time, the pros- ecution introduced documents and put two former members of Saddams regime on the stand. The witnesses included one of his closest aides, Ahmed Husse- in Khudayer al-Samarrai, head of Saddams presidential ofce from 1984 to 1991 and then again from 1995 until Saddams ouster in 2003. Screens in the courtroom, including the press gallery, showed a document in Arabic dated to 1984 allegedly written and signed by Saddam in which he ratied the execution of the Dujail criminals. A handwrit- ten note at the bottom was al- legedly by al-Samarrai. Asked if the note was his handwriting, al-Samarrai, 62, said he could not be sure. BY LARA JAKES JORDAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON The Bush administration on Monday pushed back hard against Ka- trina-response criticism leveled by ex-disaster agency chief Mi- chael Brown and congressional investigators. I reject outright the sug- gestion that President Bush was anything less than fully involved, said White House homeland security adviser Fran- ces Fragos Townsend. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff unequivocal- ly and strongly rejected sugges- tions that his agency was preoc- cupied with terror threats at the expense of preparing for natural disasters. Both spoke at a conference of state emergency management directors in suburban Alexan- dria, Va. Their rebuttal came as a Re- publican-written House report blamed government-wide in- eptitude for mishandling Hur- ricane Katrina relief. A report by Congress investigative arm, the Government Accountability Ofce, reached similar conclu- sions and singled out Chertoff for delays. Both Townsend and Chert- off took swipes at Brown, who resigned under pressure in Sep- tember as head of the Federal Emergency Management Agen- cy. There is no place for a lone ranger in emergency manage- ment, said Chertoff, whose De- partment of Homeland Security is FEMAs parent agency. Brown testied before a Sen- ate committee last week that he issued repeated warnings to the White House and DHS the day the hurricane struck, Aug. 29, that levees had failed and New Orleans was seriously ooding. He suggested that the White House and DHS had dragged their feet. Bush and other fed- eral ofcials have said they did not know until the next day, Aug. 30, that levees had been breached. On Monday, Brown defended his performance. For Secretary Chertoff to claim that I failed to keep him informed belies the numerous telephone calls and e-mails between me and him prior to, during and after landfall of the storm, Brown said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. Brown also applauded con- gressional investigations into the governments response.

Kansas traditional power struggled early to overcome its youth and rise to a 9-2 confer- ence record. Its now playing like a top 15 team and threatening to win the Big 12 Conference, with the NCAA tournament in sight. But Kansas has been a rare topic of conversation in the national media. Its a wonder why Kansas basketball doesnt get as much national attention as some other programs. I dont need to tell you about all of Kansas accom- plishments. As the third win- ningest program in NCAA basketball, it ranks as high as any program nationally when winning is combined with tradition. At least KU fans like to think so. But do you ever see Kansas story discussed on sports talk programs like Pardon the Interruption or Around the Horn? Or do you see it as the fea- ture of a report on College GameDay? Hardly. If North Carolina were in the same posi- tion, one game behind Duke in the conference standings, the media would fall in love with the young, resilient Tar Heels. Instead, Satur- day nights SportsCenter put Kansas on the bubble, in the same category as truly struggling teams like Kentucky, Arizona and Louisville. Thats absurd. Anyone who actually follows this seasons team knows how good it is. About two weeks ago Jason Whitlock wrote in The Kansas City Star that Kansas was a legitimate national title threat. Last Monday, ESPNs Fran Fraschilla, who has broad- cast a number of Kansas games, said he thought Kansas should have been ranked because of the way it had been playing recently. So, is this some kind of media conspiracy? Does the East Coast bias really exist? When Roy Williams left with his University of North Caro- lina connection, did the attention he brought to Kansas leave too? Or is this lack of notice Kansas fault? One reason could be that Kansas has not recently won a national championship. Other powers in college basketball like Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky and Connecticut have won multiple national titles since Kansas last one in 1988. For Kansas to be that respected, it has to win the big one. Another reason could be all the big upsets Kansas has been involved in since 1988. Most people see Kansas as the team that always has a chance but ruins it in the tournament, thanks to shocking victories by University of Texas at El Paso in 1992, Arizona in 1997, Rhode Island in 1998, Syracuse in 2003 and Bucknell in 2005, among others. With the recruits hell bring in, Kansas coach Bill Self, who should be strongly considered for national coach of the year, is about to change those perceptions and put Kansas basketball back where it belongs in the medias eyes. Within the next 10 years, the Jayhawks will win at least two national titles. Well see how theyre perceived then. F Robinett is an Austin, Texas, junior in jour- nalism.

Travis robineTT trobinett@kansan.com Team deserves to have media pay attention David Noffsinger/KANSAN Danny Friedman; Cleveland, Ohio senior; is pressured by the Phi Kappa Tau defense during an intramural basketball game Sunday night in the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. Friedmans team, the Moody Maniacs, de- feated the Phi Kappa Tau intramural team. by HeaTHer riffel hriffel@kansan.com kansan sportswriter What started off as an intra- mural basketball game at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center turned into a game with faring tempers. Physical play and disputed calls were part of the 40-32 Moody Maniacs victory against Phi Kappa Tau on Sunday night. After a while, it seemed like playing basketball wasnt im- portant to either team. This was evidenced in the technical foul called on the Moody Maniacs Danny Fried- man, Cleveland senior, for com- ments he made to the referee in the second half. Friedmans teammates went as far as taking him out of the game so he could cool down. Friedman jawed at the referee for much of the second half. Tyler Dall, Overland Park junior, was injured on the play leading to Friedmans technical foul when many players dove for a loose ball. Play on the court became more aggressive after the scuffe. Players even tried to tackle each other at one point. The Moody Maniacs P.J. Cummings, Wheaton, Ill., ju- nior, said the game became frus- trating because of the offciating. As a result, neither team played the game properly in the second half, Cummings said. The offciating was so bad, Cummings said, that it remind- ed me of Hue Hollins phantom call on Scottie Pippen during Game Seven of the 1994 East- ern Conference Championship between the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks that kept the Bulls from winning four cham- pionships in a row. The Knicks beat the Bulls in the 1994 con- ference semifnals. Phi Kappa Taus Travis Koeh- ring, Wichita junior, said it was the worst offciating he had ever seen. He said both teams ended up taking their frustrations out on each other. Before Friedmans technical foul and the referees questionable calls, there was an actual basketball game. Phi Kappa Tau started slowly, but Koehring and Devin Mir- fasihi, Leawood freshman, made free throws to keep the team in the game when few of their shots were falling. The Moody Maniacs Brad Liszt, Minnetonka, Minn., junior, and Bryan Cohen, Tulsa, Okla., senior, rained three-pointers to give the Maniacs an early lead. The Maniacs led 25-19 at the end of the frst half. In the tumultuous second half, neither team produced many points. After combining for 44 frst half points, the two teams scored only 28 in the second half. Edited by Frank Tankard t intramurals Junior guard benched by MicHael PHilliPs mphillips@kansan.com kansan staff writer A tough year for Shaquina Mosley became worse on Mon- day. The junior guard was sus- pended from the womens bas- ketball team for an indefnite period of time. A statement released by the KU athletics offce said only that the suspen- sion was at the coachs discre- tion. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson de- clined any fur- ther comment. Mosley, nick- named Shaq, was the most hyped of this years recruit- ing class, com- ing off a season when she was named National Junior College Player of the Year at Central Arizona Col- lege. She was one of the most athletic players to take the court for Kansas in some time, standing just 5-foot- 6 but able to rebound over much taller players. That athleticism has not translated to success in Division I college basketball, and Mos- ley has averaged just 2.7 points per game and 2.3 rebounds per game this season. Henrickson said earlier this year that Mosley had struggled to grasp the intricacies of run- ning the offense, a job that went to freshman guard Ivana Catic. Mosleys lone start in Big 12 Conference play came in a 90-40 loss to Baylor. She started when Catic was benched because of poor defensive play. In January, when the team had a week off between games, Henrickson used the extra time to talk with bench players Mosley, junior guard Sharita Smith, and freshman forward Sophronia Sallard, who the coach dubbed the three amigos. They need to band together, get each other right, and de- mand more from each other, Henrickson said at the time. Sallard has made progress since then, winning a spot in the starting lineup for last Sat- urdays game at Missouri. Smith has seen limited minutes this season. see BeNCHeD oN page 8B Mosley was suspended indefnitely on Monday for rea- sons not related to academics. The KU athletics offce said that the suspension was at the coachs discre- tion. Coach Bonnie Henrick- son declined to comment.

In a game that was by no means pretty, they still found a way to win. It took Kansas 30 minutes to fnd its offensive rhythm, but it still defeated Oklahoma State 64-49. Kansas trailed by two points midway through the sec- ond half, but went on a 24-7 run to fnish the game. Kansas still committed 20 turnovers. It was ugly ball there for a while, Kansas coach Bill Self said, but this team needs to learn to win that way. I thought the last 10 minutes we played pretty well. see VICToRY oN page 4B 2B The UniversiTy Daily Kansan TUesDay, feBrUary 14, 2006 sporTs athletics calendar WEDNESDAY FWomens basketball vs. Nebraska, 7 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse Player to watch: Kaylee Brown.

The Association ranks the top 30 teams in the nation. The Jayhawks took the three-game series from Stanford two games to one in Palo Alto, Cali., last week- end. The Cardinal fell three spots on Mondays poll, from No. 8 to No. 11. Kansas was last ranked on Feb. 18, 2003, after sweeping Louisiana State, which held the No. 6 spot at the time. The Jayhawks entered that poll at No. 21. Adding to the teams acco- lades was RosenblattReport. com, which named Kansas the most impressive team in its Week in Review. No. 3 Nebraska (0-0), No. 10 Texas (3-4), No. 20 Missouri (2-2) and No. 23 Baylor (3-0) join Kansas in representing the Big 12 Conference on the Collegiate Baseball poll.

On Feb. 10, the team embarked on a week-long trip that included matches against a top womens division club team in London and the Scottish national team in Perth, Australia. Other Big 12 members on the team include Texas A&M goalkeeper Katie Jo Spisak and forward Ashlee Pistorius. The selection to the national team was the latest in a string of accolades for Gault, a two-time frst team All-Big 12 selection, frst team All-American and a member of the Big 12 Conference Tenth Anniversary Team. Mark Dent TracK anD fielD The Kansas track and feld team com- peted at two different events this past weekend. Some of the members were at the ISU Classic in Ames, Iowa, and others were at the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark. Leading the way at the ISU Classic was the dynamic duo of senior thrower Shel- don Battle and sophomore thrower Egor Agafonov. Battle placed third in both the shot put and the weight throw. Agafonov won the mens weight throw with a toss of 73 3/4 inches. Senior Benson Chesang placed second in the mens 3,000-meter run with a time of 7:58.05.

If basket- ball were rocket science, Caltech would be fying high. Instead, the brainy Beavers have turned losing into a mathematical constant. Theyre 0-242 in confer- ence games, a streak dating 21 years, and have lost 195 in a row against NCAA opponents. Those numbers are impossible, even at a place like Caltech, Bea- vers coach Roy Dow said. Its im- possible to the point of silly. The world-renowned institution where Albert Einstein lectured, where Linus Pauling was a professor and where 31 Nobel Prize winners either have taught or studied, draws only the best and brightest students in science and math. But not necessarily the tallest and most coordinated. Like other Division III schools, the California Institute of Technol- ogy does not offer athletic scholar- ships. Only six members on this seasons squad so much as played varsity in high school, and all of those are underclassmen. At a recent game, youngsters in the stands held a sign with a com- plex mathematical formula that might equal a victory. Didnt happen. Although Caltech stayed rela- tively close in the conference game against Division III foe Occidental, the 12th-ranked Tigers beat the Bea- vers 80-66. Jordan Carlson, who played in- tramural basketball in high school, scored 29 points and was Caltechs lone player in double fgures. The senior physics major was able to put the loss, and all the others while hes been at Caltech, in rela- tive terms. Its been fun a lot of the time. It always gets frustrating when you have homework to do and youre tired, but thats natural, that hap- pens everywhere, said Carlson, at 6-foot-5 one of the tallest on the team. Asked if his knowledge of phys- ics helps him propel the ball through the hoop, Carlson chuckled and said, No. All has not been completely lost for Caltech basketball. The Beavers have won two games in recent years, against a pair of non-NCAA schools. The most recent was a 51-49 victory against Life Pacifc at the beginning of last season.

d tuesday, february 14, 2006 the university daily kansan 5b 4b the university daily kansan tuesday, february 14, 2006 By Dainel Berk dberk@kansan.com kansan senior sportswriter Even though Kansas left Stillwater, Okla., with a hard-earned victory, Kansas coach Bill Self was still disappointed after the game. Self, who played and coached at Oklahoma State, had looked forward to coaching against his mentor, Eddie Sutton. Sutton was absent from the Oklahoma State bench after announcing Monday that he was taking a medical leave from the team for the remainder of the season. It wasnt very enjoyable, Self said. I wanted to compete against Coach. I wanted to play against his team. I wanted to show my mentor what we do. Thats something I am proud of. I hope the entire situation is handled as well as it possibly can be handled. Sutton missed Oklahoma States last game against Texas A&MSaturday because he was in a car accident a day earlier on the way to meet the teamfor the plane ride. It was reported Monday that Sutton was given a citation for driving under the infuence at the time of the accident. Suttons son, Sean, took his dads place on the sideline for the Kansas game and will con- tinue to be the coach for the remainder of the season. Sean Sutton thanked Oklahoma State fans after the game for their support after his dads accident and said he thought this could make his team stronger as the season moved for- ward. When adversity happens, you growup as a person, Sean Sutton said. Its not fair to the kids, but life isnt fair. We talked before the game about keeping a positive mind. I think we did that. We played with a lot of heart and energy tonight. The younger Sutton was named the head coach designate before the season began. It was expected his dad would retire in the next couple of years. Now, it is unclear whether the legendary coach will ever return to the sidelines again. Eddie Sutton has been a head coach for 35 years, including 15 years at Oklahoma State. He amassed 794 total Division I victories, which ranks ffth all-time. He has also had a number of successful coaches start their career learning fromhim, including Self, whoservedas an assistant under Sutton from1987 to 1993. Sutton told Oklahoma State offcials that he was considering taking a leave of absence after his teams victory at Kansas State last week because of severe back pain. Sean Sutton said after the game that his dad had been in a lot of pain during the past two years and that it had been a constant battle for his dad to feel healthy. He said he was hopeful that his dad would start feeling better now that he had more time to heel. Its been a hard 72 hours, thats for sure, Sean Sutton said. Im going to hang in there, and I know the players are too. Self said after the game that he talked to Eddie Sutton Monday morning, and Sutton said he was still in a lot of pain. I think the quote he used was he feels like he got in a fght with Ali and lost, Self said. Sean Sutton and Oklahoma State will re- turn to the court Sunday against Texas.

Early Kansas points came via layups or dunks, but those didnt come often. The teams went into halftime tied at 23 after connecting on only 13 shots combined. Kansas failed to connect on a jump shot until freshman guard Brandon Rush hit a jumper from the right corner with less than 14 minutes to play. This was a game where we just werent clickingoffensively,freshmanforwardJulian Wright said. We knewhad to fnd a way. Kansas found a way to win, much to the credit of sophomore guard Russell Robinson. Although Robinson made only 1-of-8 attempts, his one made basket was pivotal. Robinson made a three-pointer that put the Jayhawks up 43-42. Kansas held onto the lead for the remainder of the game. We shouldnt look at percentages, Self said. We should look at when he makes shots, because he makes big shots and that was the biggest shot of the game. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers, who scored a team-high 13 points, said Rob- insons shot energized Kansas. Kansas made an effort to get the ball in- side after that point, especially to sopho- more forward Sasha Kaun, who banked in a key left-handed hook shot that extended the Kansas lead to seven. Wright solidifed the victory with behind-the-back passes that resulted in easy buckets. I love playing with Julian, Kaun said. He has such a great feel of when to pass where to pass. He sees really well. Despite the offensive struggles, four Jayhawks reached double fgures in a bal- anced scoring output. The lack of offensive continuity during the frst half was mirrored by the game clock, which malfunctioned on three separate occasions. We knew sooner or later we were go- ing to fgure it out, Robinson said. We did that late in the second half when we started to attack the basket. The victory was Kansas eighth straight, coming in its frst game since breaking into the national rankings at No. 22. Kansas improved to 5-1 on the road.

The biggest news after two weekends of baseball is the shake-up atop the conference. Longhorns fall victim to the broom In their rst series of the sea- son, the No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns were swept by San Diego. Baseball America voters took notice, dropping them to No. 7 and moving previously un- ranked San Diego up to No. 18. The Longhorns arent the de- fending national champions for nothing, though. Texas went on a three-game winning streak, includ- ing a victory against No. 5 Rice in the Houston Col- lege Classic. Kansas will face Texas this season in Austin for a three-game series beginning May 5. Another Big 12 baseball power struggles Texas wasnt the only team struggling to start the baseball season. No. 10 Missouri split four games in the Charleston South- ern Tournament, a tournament in which the Tigers had the stron- gest team on paper. Missouri lost its season opener to East Tennes- see State, won its next two games against Charleston Southern and Kennesaw State and dropped the nale to Washington State, 9-3. Kansas wont see Missouri until March 31, when the team play a three-game series at Hoglund Ballpark. Sooners up and down Oklahoma traveled to Edin- burg, Texas, for the University of Texas-Pan American Baseball Classic and won its rst two games, but was trounced 21-9 in its nal game by the winless Lamar Cardinal. The Sooners had to settle for a tie with Texas- Pan American for tournament runner-up. Oklahoma swept Western Illinois in its next series, outscoring the Leathernecks 36-5 in three games. The Jayhawks play the Sooners at Hoglund Ball- park on April 28. Arkansas no-hits Oklahoma State Oklahoma State began its season in exciting fash- ion, winning 17-13 against South Alabama in a 10-in- ning slugfest at Stanky Field in the Jaguar Invitational. Oklahoma States bats didnt stay hot for long. The Cowboys were no-hit for the rst time in pro- gram history the next day by No. 20 Arkansas in a 3-0 loss. Okla- homa State managed to end the tournament on a high note with an 11-1 victory against George Mason. Kansas will travel to Stillwater, Okla., to face Okla- homa State in a three-game series April 14. Tech winless in tournament Texas Tech started its season with a three-game sweep of Loui- siana-Monroe. The Red Raiders then hit a rough stretch of games the next weekend in the Houston College Classic. They went win- less in the tournament, falling to Rice, Tulane and Houston.

Her specialties have been penetration and creating shots, something that she found diff- cult to do against Big 12 com- petition. I think shes still trying to fnd her niche, Henrickson said before the suspension. Its just got to be one day at a time, trying to work and fght and get better. This is not the frst time a Kansas player has been sus- pended this season. Senior guard Erica Hallman missed two early season games for failing to meet team academ- ic standards. Academics was re- portedly not a factor in the Mos- ley suspension. Kansas will next take the court Wednesday night against Nebraska. The game tips off at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse. Edited by Gabriella Souza The AssociATed Press PHILADELPHIA Villano- va used the 3 to beat No. 1. The fourth-ranked Wildcats went 7-for-9 from 3-point range in the second half and beat top-ranked Connecticut 69-64 Monday night, their frst vic- tory over a top-ranked team in 10 years. Allan Ray had fve 3-pointers in a 22-4 run that gave Villanova (20-2, 10-1 Big East) the lead for good in its ninth straight victory. The Wildcats, who forced the Huskies into 17 turnovers, also got a boost from an unexpected source on offense. Ray fnished with 25 points, Kyle Lowry added 18 and cen- ter Will Sheridan matched his career high with 13 points and had 10 rebounds. Rudy Gay had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Huskies (22-2, 9-2), who had an 11-game winning streak snapped and dropped to 7-1 against ranked teams this season. It seemed most of the 20,859 at the Wachovia Center, the largest crowd to watch a college basketball game in Pennsylva- nia history, stormed the court to celebrate the Wildcats frst win over a No. 1 team since Feb. 18, 1995, when they beat Connecti- cut. George Widman/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Connecticuts Rudy Gay, left, walks off the court as Villanova fans celebrate Monday after their college basketball game in Philadelphia. Gay had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Huskies, but No. 4 Villanova upset No. 1 Connecticut, 69-64.
