The Oread Inn will face more opposition
tonight, this time from students. Student
Senate is voting tonight on a resolution that
would oppose the construction the Inn.
The Inn, which would be built at 12th
and Indiana streets, would replace the build-
ing that housed the Crossing and Beat the
Bookstore, which is in the process of moving
to a new location.
Sam Schlageck, fine
arts senator, wrote the
bill after speaking with
many students who
voiced concern about the
construction project.
I didnt want to see
students forced out of the
neighborhood, Schlageck
said.
Schlageck said the
project would raise prop-
erty values in the area
surrounding the hotel, which is called the
student ghetto. He said he thought police
would be in the area more often as well.
Students dont go to sleep at 10 p.m. on
weekends, Schlageck said.
Tom Cox, a holdover senator, co
authored the bill. He said that he and
Schlageck had been talking about the resolu-
tion for a long time.
How many students are able to do some-
thing? Cox said.
Katie Wiley, junior-senior CLAS sena-
tor, supports the resolution. She said that
in addition to the raised property values
and noise complaints, the project was not a
student-friendly build-
ing. She said any stores
or restaurants inside the
hotel would likely be
priced outside students
price range.
Wiley said another
argument against the
hotel was that the devel-
opers are asking the
city for $10 million in
funds for improvements
of the surrounding area.
If approved, the money
would be used to improve lighting and the
streets around the hotel.
The improvements around the hotel were
one reason Rachael Barnes, community
affairs director, supports the construction.
I feel like its going to be a positive addi-
tion to the neighborhood, Barnes said.
She said that property values in the area
would go up regardless of what was built in
the area, so that was not a big problem. She
also said the hotel would be a good place
for alumni to stay. The University of Kansas
Alumni Association is one block from where
the hotel would be built.
May Davis, freshman-
sophomore CLAS sena-
tor, said the hotel would
bring in more revenue to
the Kansas Union, bring
in prospective students
and benefit alumni.
Youre a student for
four years, Davis said.
You are an alumni for
the rest of your life.
She said the hotel
would add to campus beauty, and the
improved roads would be good for the
University.
If the resolution passes tonight,
Schlageck plans to take the resolution to the
city commission as an
official student opinion.
Mike Amyx, Lawrence
city commissioner, said
Senate has the opportu-
nity to comment on any
item that comes before
the commission.
We will take the
information they give
us, add it to any infor-
mation we have and take
it into consideration,
Amyx said.

NY room made of chocolate
unveiled for Valentines Day
NEW YORK (AP)
An all-chocolate room was
unveiled in Manhattan on Tuesday
a pre-Valentines Day creation
complete with furniture and art-
work made of the sweet stuf.
This year, anyone who buys
the winning box of chocolates in
Godivas annual Valentines Day
promotion contest for $23 and
up may win the chocolate room.
You could actually sit on the
plush sofa, which was chocolate-
graced only on its sides, and the
walls are made of chocolate.
There were a couple of donts
in the room: lighting the freplace
(with its chocolate logs and mantle)
and the candles (all chocolate).
In addition, sinking into the easy
chairs was discouraged unless
you wanted to rise with a choco-
late-covered derriere.

msorrick@kansan.com
Mary Emerson had been smoking
for four and a half years by the time
she reached her junior year of col-
lege. She had tried a few times to quit
her pack-a-day habit, but was always
unsuccessful. Then, last December,
she noticed an advertisement at
Watkins Memorial Health Center for
a free smoking cessation program
and decided to give it a shot.
Six weeks later, she was cigarette-
free for the first time since high
school.
Emerson, Oklahoma City junior,
is one of four KU students to have
entered and successfully complet-
ed the smoking cessation program
since it began in December. The pro-
gram, tentatively titled KanU Quit,
was developed by Ken Sarber, health
educator at the Wellness Resource
Center, and has had a 100 percent
success rate.
Emerson attributed the programs
success to its extensive six-week
structure.
The whole thing was so cohe-
sive, she said. I felt prepared. Like
this time it was for real.
Sarber designed the program
to last for six weeks, with students
spending the first two weeks logging
when and why they smoked each
cigarette.
Sarber said it was important to
identify a smokers triggers.
Theres a huge emotional tie
with smoking, like being bored or
depressed or having anxiety during
finals time, Sarber said.
Beth Jackson, Wichita senior, also
participated in the program.
She said recognizing her triggers
was crucial to kicking her 10-year
smoking habit.
I smoked mostly because of
stress, Jackson said. Or I would do
it in the morning with my coffee. It
was more than a habit. It was part of
my morning routine.
Sarber worked with each student
to create new routines and strategies
to resist the nicotine craving. The
students also met with a pharmacist
at Watkins to decide whether they
would want help from a product,
such as a nicotine patch or prescrip-
tion drug.
Then, in the third week of the
program, participants completely
stop smoking.
Jackson said she discovered some
unexpected ways to curb her nico-
tine cravings
Citrus fruit was amazing, she
said. The act of peeling an orange
kept my hands busy and got rid of
the initial craving and the citrus taste
made me not want to smoke.
Weekly meetings with Sarber and
support from her family also made
the quitting process less intimidat-
ing, Jackson said.
I had people cheering me on. I
didnt feel so alone, she said.
Jackson completed the program
on Jan. 10 and said her perspective
on smoking has already started to
change.
Ive gotten hit in the face with
smoke a couple times and have start-
ed to find it obnoxious, she said. I
used to be like Its open air. Get over
it. But now Im seeing things from
the other side.
Emerson, who has been cigarette-
free for almost a month, said she still
struggles with cravings, but has no
plans to resume old habits.
I feel a million times healthier
and better about myself, she said.
I dont think I could have done it
by myself.

Haysville physician gets
license suspended
WICHITA A state hearing
ofcer on Tuesday temporar-
ily suspended the license of a
Haysville physician who is facing
federal charges, saying the doctor
poses a danger to the publics
health and safety.
Administrative Judge Edward
Gaschler said in his order that
unless the license is suspended,
Dr. Stephen Schneider would still
be able to direct the operation of
the clinic.
Gaschler was acting on a
petition by the Kansas Board of
Healing Arts, which has said it
held of on taking action against
Schneider earlier because federal
ofcials were building a case
against the doctor.
Schneider and his nurse wife,
Linda, were indicted in December
on 34 federal charges, including
conspiracy, unlawful distribution
of a controlled substance, health
care fraud, illegal money transac-
tions and money laundering.
Despite the federal indictment
last month, Schneiders clinic
remained open, with physician
assistant Connie White seeing
patients under the direction of
Dr. Joseph Sack. Sack reviewed
fles at the clinic on weekends,
and was available to White by
telephone for consultation.
Tuesdays decision means the
clinic will close.

Pets become homeless
because of housing crisis
STOCKTON, Calif. Pets are
becoming the newest victims
of the nations mortgage crisis
as homeowners leave animals
behind when they can no longer
aford their property.
Pets are getting dumped
all over, said Traci Jennings,
president of the Humane Society
of Stanislaus County in northern
California. Farmers are fnding
dogs dumped on their grazing
grounds, while house cats are
showing up in wild cat colonies.
The situation has become so
widespread that the Humane So-
ciety urged home owners faced
with foreclosure to take their
animals to a shelter.
The problem is exacerbated
because most people grappling
with foreclosure are returning to
rental housing or moving in with
relatives two situations where
it can be difcult or impossible to
bring pets.
In Stockton, shelter workers re-
cently reunited a family with two
rottweilers they had left behind
in their foreclosed house. Shelter
workers were able to fnd housing
for the family and their dogs.
But happy endings elude a
majority of foreclosure animals.
Their best shot is for the own-
ers to plan ahead some, Jennings
said. But they didnt plan when
they bought their house. I dont
see that happening anytime
soon.

Bank robbery hostages

ALTAGRACIA DE ORITUCO,
Venezuela Gunmen who held
more than 30 hostages inside
a Venezuelan bank for over 24
hours fed in an ambulance and
were caught Tuesday along a
roadside, where they surrendered
and freed their last fve captives.
The gunmen frst let three
hostages go and then negotiated
with police while holding on to
the last two, Guarico state Gov.
Eduardo Manuitt said.
This nightmare is over, Manu-
itt told state television.
They eventually turned
over their guns, and then were
ordered to the ground as police
arrested them, Manuitt said.
The pursuit ended less than two
hours after the gunmen fed the
bank under a deal negotiated
with police.
The arrests ended an ordeal
that began Monday morning with
a botched bank robbery in this
town southeast of Caracas. The
hostage standof was the longest
in at least a decade in Venezuela.

10,000 pound satellite
might hit North America
WASHINGTON The U.S.
military is developing contingency
plans to deal with the possibility
that a large spy satellite expected
to fall to Earth in late February
or early March could hit North
America.
Air Force Gen. Gene Renu-
art, who heads of U.S. Northern
Command, told The Associated
Press on Tuesday that the size of
the satellite suggests that some
number of pieces will not burn up
as the orbiting vehicle re-enters
the Earths atmosphere and will hit
the ground.
Were aware that this satellite
is out there, Renuart said. Were
aware it is a fairly substantial size.
And we know there is at least some
percentage that it could land on
ground as opposed to in the water.
A U.S. ofcial confrmed that
the spy satellite was launched in
December 2006 and could weigh
as much as 10,000 pounds.

Fox hopes to attract 94 million
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) The unde-
feated New England Patriots arent
taking the only shot at history this
weekend. Theres a strong chance
that this could be the most-watched
Super Bowl ever.
The record Fox will aim to beat
is the 94.08 million viewers who
watched the Dallas Cowboys beat
the Pittsburgh Steelers in January
1996, according to Nielsen Media
Research. Last years victory by the
Indianapolis Colts came closest with
93.2 million.
The biggest draw is the Patriots
themselves, as they attempt to
become the first undefeated NFL
team since the 1972 Dolphins and
secure near-unanimous acclaim as
the best pro football team ever.
While the Patriots quest for his-
tory will be the focus, they must beat
the New York Giants, who represent
the biggest television market in the
country. The Giants underdog run
to the Super Bowl has captivated
its fan base, and the NFC champi-
onship victory over the Green Bay
Packers had the biggest audience for
that game since 1995, according to
Nielsen Media Research.
Theres also the fresh memory of
the thrilling game the Giants and
Patriots played on the last night
of the regular season, where New
England had to come from behind
to keep their unbeaten streak alive.
That game was seen by 34.5 million
people, the most-watched NFL regu-
lar season game since 1990.
Fox says that setting a record is
possible. There are a lot of factors
that go into a huge number like this,
said Bill Wanger, research chief for
Fox sports. Having the number one
market isnt necessarily a lock.
Actually, TV networks prefer a
contest with a bit more geographic
diversity a West Coast team play-
ing an East Coast team, instead of
two teams from the Northeast.
The biggest factor in keeping
viewers tuned in is the competitive-
ness of the game. The best thing for
Fox is a close game with the Giants
leading, but the Patriots still with a
chance at the end.

commentary
When my roommate and I arent
out being venture capitalists trying
to give back to the community, we
like to light up a couple stogies,
stand around in my bathroom and
flush $5 bills down the toilet until the
fire alarm in our apartment building
goes off.
This is a basic parallel to the
common practice of professors not
informing their students which
required texts are not necessarily
required for their course.
Its an easily solved problem to
an all-too-regular situation. Yet no
professor Ive encountered feels it
necessary to forewarn his or her stu-
dents about the possibility of wasting
of money.
How could I keep the fire alarms
from going off in my apartment
building?
Easy. Dismantle them.
How could professors keep us
from wasting money?
By using Blackboard. It exists for
a reason.
Saving money is one of my top
priorities, as it is to most of my
classmates, so I make sure to buy my
books in advance. Many students,
like myself, dont use the bookstore
on campus for all of their required
text needs. I use half.com and ama-
zon.com along with the marketplace
application on Facebook.
I arrived at my sociology course
on the first day only to find out an
$80 book that the bookstore told me
I needed was not in fact needed.
I felt a sense of loss for the good
time my roommate and I couldve
had flushing $80 worth of Lincolns.
I know it was supposed to be a nice
gesture on the professors part. Im all
about nice gestures. I blow kisses to
people instead of flipping them off. I
call bad drivers Cupcake.
I like nice gestures, gestures that
mean something, nice gestures that
follow through nice gestures that
cook breakfast the morning after.
If a professor isnt going to require
some of the texts, it would be best
if the professor would post a notice
on Blackboard. Every student of the
class automatically has the chance to
see this information far in advance,
and it allows them to save money.
There isnt a drawback, other than a
professor having to use some of his
or her office hours (during which
hardly any students show up).
Students, demand this of your
professors, not necessarily in a threat-
ening or ominous manner since it
wouldnt do any good. Rather, tell
them how nice it was for them to
cut some of the required texts out,
but also tell them how much more it
wouldve helped you if they had post-
ed it in advance on Blackboard. You
dont get slapped if you dont ask.
With my leftover cash from know-
ing in advance which books to buy,
Ill go out and grab some cookie
dough. I may bake some professors
cookies that is, if they can keep me
out of this swivet.
Stewart is a Wichita junior in
journalism.
There have been plenty of
warnings. Three Terminator
movies exist, and now theres
even a Terminator TV series.
Robots. They build Toyotas and
screw the lids onto Snapples.
Their actions are intertwined
with our daily lives. Ever used
an ATM? My point exactly. My
prediction for 2008? The end of
humanity as we know it at the
hands of our metallic friends.
My resolution? To destroy every
robot in the world, either person-
ally, or through an osmotic trans-
mission of my teachings.
We shouldve seen this com-
ing. While the Hollywood robot-
sympathizers pumped out movies
with sassy, off-beat robots (think
Star Wars, Short Circuit, Mystery
Science Theatre 3000), the more
intelligent among us, including
myself, naturally recognized these
cinematic projections as obvious
attempts to delude the dull masses.
When I was in high school, not only
did the student body elect to me to
a position once, but a remarkable
two times. By my count, that is
the maximum number of times a
candidate running for an annual
office can get elected in the span of
two years. You could say I hold the
record for the most elections won
in that time frame. Anyways, one
of my campaigns principal slogans
beamed With robots growing stron-
ger and more intelligent, I can pro-
tect you from the evil ones. It was
a central tenet of the campaign, and
my anti-robot policies played a huge
role in my victories, in one of which
I garnered 100 percent of the vote.
Just check my exit polls. Ive known
about this threat for a long time.
Are all robots evil? The answer is,
without exception, a resonant yes.
While there remains a perception of
robots helping the lesser-abled, let
me assure you this is all part of the
robots grand attempt to bide time,
earn our trust, and intricately design
our demise. Did you see Space
Odyssey 2001? Crafty work there,
HAL 3000. Thats the thing about
robots. They are always scheming.
Thats why this American puts
it on himself to destroy anything
the least bit automated. Do you
ever wonder who regularly smashes
toll meters on Massachusetts Street?
Pulverizes credit card scanners in the
Underground? Splinters the motion
sensors at the 23rd Street Dillons? I
think you know whos responsible.
Call it an act of patriotism, or at least,
a powerful and destructive statement.
And to the elderly woman in front of
Liberty Hall whose automatic entry
keychain I smashed, Im only par-
tially sorry. I had to do what I did.
So what does this mean for you,
reader? To this point, youve let
your country, and to some extent,
me, down. The warning signs have
been shockingly clear. The sub-
prime lending crisis? Robots. The
decay of print journalism? Robots.
The inordinate wealth of the rich-
est members of society due to the
system of democracy and the growth
of a political economy? Im going to
let you guess whos behind this one
(those robots read Locke).
Look how much progress Ive
made. If each one of us takes a frac-
tion of the initiative I have taken,
well have the metal-plated mooches
off of our backs forever.
Youll have your doubts. Youll
think aloud, hopefully at an anti-
robot rally, hopefully clutching this
article, Why, Corban, why should
we turn upon treasured robot mem-
bers of society, such as ED-209 from
RoboCop and Mechagodzilla? Can
we not live in peace? First of all, that
cant happen because those robots
you speak of are fictional. Second, a
robotic peace offering would likely
be a trap, unleashing a computer
virus or a power outage, or triggering
an Amazon.com order for 15 cop-
ies of Gigli on your MasterCard.
And I just paid the last 15 off! Thats
another thing about robots. Theyre
good with computers.
I can see the future now. Besides
the fact that I see my children while
beating your children at standard-
ized tests and class rankings, a testa-
ment to their fathers own superior
bench-press and mental fortitude, I
see a future with no harassment from
robot solicitors, robot DMV employ-
ees or Dick Cheney (currently 75
percent machine). We will live with-
out some of the frills that the good
robots provide; but good robots are
just evil robots waiting to happen.
Youre welcome for the heads-up.
Goble is a Mission Hills senior

I
magine this scenario: In the
process of living your every-
day life, you are bombard-
ed with an average of 13 rocket
attacks per day. This is unimagi-
nable for most, but to Israeli citi-
zens living near the Gaza border,
this is reality.
For most countries, the response
would be: Who is responsible, and
how quickly can we react? Instead,
Israel gave repeated warnings to
the Palestinians that if the attacks
did not stop they would be forced
to respond. Following the 400th
rocket fired into Israel this January
from Gaza, Israel finally respond-
ed. The response was not to fire
rockets back into Gaza at innocent
civilians, like the Palestinians have
done so many times, but instead
Israel restricted resources enter-
ing Gaza with this message to
Palestinians: Your goals will not
be achieved through terrorism.
On Jan. 23, thousands of
Palestinians entered into Egypt
after breaking holes in a barri-
er separating Gaza from Egypt.
However, it was not the Israelis
who repaired the border and forced
the Palestinians to return to Gaza,
but rather it was the Egyptians,
because as history shows, border-
ing Arab nations do not welcome
Palestinians into their countries.
Looking beyond the most
recent events, Israel is trying to
negotiate peace. This is difficult
when your negotiating partner,
Mahmoud Abbas, controls only
60 percent of the land he claims
to control. The other 40 percent
is controlled by Hamas, an orga-
nization that is on every terrorist
watch-group list.
In order for peace to occur,
the terrorism and incitement of
hatred must stop. This includes
not only the continuous rocket
attacks but also the suicide bomb-
ings of busses, nightclubs and res-
taurants. Israel wants peace and
security for their innocent civil-
ians and is willing to do anything,
within reason, to see that this is
accomplished.

C
olumnist Joshua Andersons
Jan. 25 editorial fails to
provide the context or
balance to the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict and in doing so, simpli-
fies an extremely complicated
issue. While Anderson criticizes
Israels military excursions, settle-
ments and checkpoints, he fails
to mention the Palestinian sui-
cide bombers who target Israeli
citizens not soldiers and
Hamas rockets that are shot into
Israel on an almost daily basis.
Nor does Anderson address the
fact that Hamas, the organization
now in control of the Gaza Strip, is
still committed to Israels destruc-
tion. The editorial also fails to
address how the corruption within
the Arafat regime and the interne-
cine fighting between Hamas and
Fatah has not only hurt the peace
process but has also harmed the
lives of Palestinians who hope for
a better tomorrow.
Critics of Israel in both Israel
and America are neither muted
or intimidated. Critics of Israel
policy, such as Jimmy Carter and
Desmond Tutu, are given ample
opportunity to air their opinions.
Carters book, Palestine: Peace
Not Apartheid, was a New York
Times Best Seller, and most major
cable outlets, including CNN,
interviewed Carter about his views
expressed in the book. The former
president, however, was rightly
criticized because of the books
significant factual errors, omis-
sions and misstatements, which
ultimately failed to provide an
appropriate context and balance to
this conflict.
Israel has a large and vocal
peace movement, which regularly
criticizes the governments policies
toward the Palestinians.
An honest and balanced
appraisal of the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict strongly suggests that a
lasting peace will only be achieved
when both sides make tough but
necessary concessions, such as the
end of Israeli outpost settlements
and checkpoints in the West Bank,
but also a true commitment by all
of the Palestinian leadership to end
the indiscriminate use of violence
on Israeli citizens.

Partisanship slows passing
of tax rebate bill Tuesday
WASHINGTON The House
voted Tuesday to rush rebates of
$600-$1,200 to most taxpayers,
but a partisan battle brewed in the
Senate over Democrats eforts to
add jobless aid and help for the
poor to the economic stimulus
package.
The House plan, approved
385-35 after little debate, would
send rebates to some 111 million
families and give tax breaks to
businesses, costing $161 billion
over two years.
President Bush and House lead-
ers urged the Senate to take the
bipartisan agreement and pass it
quickly. Sen. Max Baucus, the Sen-
ate Finance Committee chairman,
planned a Wednesday vote in his
panel on a $196 billion package
that could face a slower path to
passage.
The temptation is going to be
for the Senate to load it up, Bush
said in the Oval Ofce. My concern
is that we need to get this bill out
of the Senate and on my desk.
Baucus measure adds $35 bil-
lion for senior citizens and the un-
employed, and shrinks the rebate
to $500 for individuals and $1,000
for couples. It would deliver
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., said she hoped the Senate
would take this bill and run with
it.
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev., said that was unlikely
in the freewheeling Senate, where
members in both parties have
elaborate wish-lists for adding to
the bill, including food stamps,
Medicaid and heating assistance
for low-income people and spend-
ing on infrastructure projects,
among other things.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
the minority leader, signaled he
would try to block Baucus measure
and prevent senators from adding
items.
This is a time to show we can
rise above partisanship, do some-
thing important and do it quickly,
McConnell said. The only way to
achieve that would be to take up
and pass the House-passed bill.

As captain of the Kansas track
team, Matt Baysinger is no strang-
er to leading. But now he has the
opportunity to
lead the nations
student athletes
off the track.
E a r l i e r
this month,
B a y s i n g e r ,
Stillwell senior,
was appointed
vice chairman
of the National Division I Student
athlete Advisory Committee, or
SAAC, for the year.
Its going to be a lot of work. Im
very excited, Baysinger said. I ran
for it and I prepared for it.
In January 2009, Baysinger will
assume the chairman position in
SAAC, and retain it for a year.
Baysinger has also served on the
executive board for the Universitys
SAAC chapter and was the Big 12
Conferences SAAC chairman for
a year.
SAAC is a committee of student
athletes who observe the NCAAs
regulations regarding the welfare
of student athletes. The committee
members give input from the stu-
dent athlete standpoint.
The magnitude of what Ill be
doing hits me more everyday. Im
basically the voice of 180,000 stu-
dent athletes, and its nothing to
take lightly, Baysinger said. Its
going to be a lot of responsibility
but I think Ill enjoy it.
Mike Harrity, director of stu-
dent athlete development, said the
opportunity added to Baysingers
development as a leader.
Hes expelled a lot of time and
energy, Harrity said. He can talk
about NCAA legislation and hot-
button topics and bring them back
to KU.
One of the major issues that
Baysinger is concerned about is the
possible future of marketing student
athletes. Hes concerned that stu-
dent athletes could be used to mar-
ket certain products and never get
any revenue from the sponsorship.
If legislation allowing this is passed,
Baysinger would also want to make
sure that the student athletes had
control over what products their
names would be attached to.
These concerns might not only
affect Baysinger as a student athlete,
but could also affect him in his
future career.
I want to be in college athlet-
ics as a career, so theres no better
way to get prepared for a career in
athletics than to get involved now,
Baysinger said.
Baysinger hasnt ruled out working
for Kansas Athletics at some point, but
said hed prefer a job near a beach.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics
director, said Baysingers new posi-
tion was positive for the Athletics
Department and the University.
I think that for us it shines a
national spotlight on one of our
student athletes, and that helps
shine a light on Kansas Athletics,
Marchiony said.
Baysinger said that his position
would not interfere with his track
season. He said the first SAAC con-
vention of the year that he would be
in charge of would be held in July.
Track season ends in June.
I promised coach I wont miss
any practices or meets, but Ill be
fully committed to SAAC after sea-
sons over, Baysinger said.
Outside of SAAC and track,
Baysinger has even more commit-
ments lined up. He is the media
director for his church and plans to
marry his fianc in July.

Zachary Cooper set foot in 19
different countries during the four
and a half years he spent in the Peace
Corps. This afternoon at the Kansas
Union, the 33-year-old graduate stu-
dent from Pittsburg, will share those
experiences with students interested
in following in his footsteps.
Im just kind of curious to see
where they want to go and what they
want to do, Cooper said.
Peace Corps volunteers can serve
in more than 74 countries around
the world doing anything from
teaching university and primary
school classes, to working in agricul-
ture or educating locals about HIV
prevention. The program lasts for
27 months; the first three are spent
in training and are followed by two
years of service.
Heather Sutter, the Universitys
Peace Corps representative and
Coopers fiance, served in the West
African nation of Burkina Faso from
2003 to 2005. She said it was difficult
for students who are considering
entering the Peace Corps to truly
understand the experience without
speaking to someone who had done
it him or herself.
I think actually talking to some-
one who has made that commitment
makes it a lot more personal, Sutter
said. You see the pictures of the
places they have been and you hear
their stories. Those are the kind of
thing you dont necessarily put in
recruitment materials.
Cooper isnt short on personal
knowledge of the Peace Corps life-
style. While most Peace Corps vol-
unteers return home after the two-
and-half-year commitment, Cooper
reenlisted a second time. During
his first stint, he taught English in
Kazakhstan from 2001 to 2003 and
followed that by teaching science to
primary school students in Ghana
from 2003 to 2005.
Cooper said he hadnt planned
on returning to the Peace Corps for
a second time, but he said that he
didnt have anything to return home
to and he enjoyed interacting with
the people and students he lived
with so much that he committed to
another assignment.
Cooper, a public school teacher
before joining the Peace Corps, said
it was rewarding to work with stu-
dents who were invested in learning.
He said there was a drastic difference
in the attitudes of the majority of
American schoolchildren compared
to those he taught in Kazakhstan
and Ghana.
I literally kicked a kid out of class
one time because he said something
offensive to another student and the
kid got on his hands and knees and
begged to stay in class, Cooper said.
You dont see that in America.
Despite the rewards, Cooper
said it was hard to be isolated from
friends and family who were in the
United States. He said it was impor-
tant to have an open mind to prevent
becoming bitter with the process.
Sutter said the Peace Corps was
such a life altering experience that it
was important to remember to keep
things in perspective.
I think definitely coming into
it without expectations will serve
you well because you are going to
experience things that you cant even
really fathom being here in the U.S.,
Sutter said. As much as you can try
to prepare yourself for an experience
like this, its so huge and so different
from anything you could experience
here that its really hard to do that.
Although there were some diffi-
cult moments, Cooper said the posi-
tives far outweighed the negatives
during his nearly five years volun-
teering overseas. He said the oppor-
tunity to travel and meet new people
was an incredible experience. Most
of all, he said he valued the relation-
ships he was able to cultivate with his
students and contemporaries.
I learned that people are people
and it doesnt matter who they are,
where they are from, or what their
religion is, Cooper said. I think
deep down inside everybody is pret-
ty much the same.

Adam Wood walked from door
to door, each slamming in his face.
He was in a far away state, yet every
person in the Botany Woods sub-
urb of South Carolina seemed to
hate him. The police were called,
and an officer motioned for Wood,
Lawrence junior, to come have a
chat.
The police officer told Wood
he needed a solicitors license to
canvass for Ron Paul, and Wood
politely denied the statement. The
police officer thought carefully then
gave his reply.
Well, you be careful, he said. I
wouldnt want you to get shot.
Wood was campaigning for
Republican presidential candidate
Paul in South Carolina over winter
break, and continued to canvass
despite saying a gun was pulled on
another campaigner in Iowa. Wood
was one of four KU students who
campaigned in Iowa the last week of
December, and one of two to later
continue on to South Carolina in
early January. These students were
involved in a presidential campaign
that is largely grassroots.
Wood said the days in Iowa were
long. He and the other students
campaigning stayed in a cabin in the
rural part of the state. They would
leave by 8 a.m., campaign door to
door all day, take a quick break for
dinner and make phone calls for
Paul at night.
Wood said the trip, which he and
the other students paid for them-
selves, was worth the money and
time because he thought Ron Paul
was one of the only honest men left
in politics who could make changes
in the country. He said there were
problems with foreign policy, the
economy and domestic issues, and
Ron Paul was the only man who
could fix them.
If we dont fix these problems
now, we wont have much time to fix
them, Wood said.
Matt Hurd, Olathe senior, who
also campaigned for Paul in Iowa,
said he liked Pauls economic plan.
Paul has spoken out against the
Federal Reserve, and also voted
against the Iraq War and Patriot
Act as a Texas representative. Hurd
said his message has been consistent
throughout the campaign and for
the last 20 years.
People have been able to see his
message, Hurd said. Even if he
doesnt win, hes gotten the issues
out there.
Pauls campaign wouldnt have
been possible without the Internet,
Hurd said.
Will Stewart, Whittier, Calif.,
senior and another campaigner for
Paul in Iowa, said another reason
the grassroots campaign was so
large was because the media had not
covered Paul. He said Pauls message
appealed to both young and old.
People who have never seen the
point of voting are coming out in
droves, Stewart said.
Stewart said many Paul sup-
porters believe hes the only candi-
date who follows the Constitution
today and votes in the House of
Representatives accordingly.
Colin Barnes, Overland Park
sophomore, who also campaigned
for Paul in Iowa, said Paul is one of
the only candidates standing up for
the civil liberties promised in the
Constitution.
Barnes continued on to the South
Carolina primary after returning
home from Iowa. Wood said that
he and Barnes were disappointed
with Pauls poor showing in Iowa,
where he received 10 percent of
the Republican vote. After driving
home from Iowa, the two slept for
part of the day and then drove the
20 hours to South Carolina, where
they spent another ten days cam-
paigning.
Jeff Frazee, the national youth
coordinator for Pauls campaign,
said students came to Iowa from all
across the country to campaign for
Paul. He said that during a two-week
period in Iowa before the states
primaries, more than 300 students
went door to door and made phone
calls for Ron Paul. Wood said some
came from other countries, includ-
ing New Zealand and Canada.
Frazee said at least 40 college
students campaigned for Ron Paul
in South Carolina. He said that 20
percent of the people in the 18-30
age voting bracket voted for Ron
Paul.
Young people are definitely the
lifeblood of our campaign, Frazee
said.

McCain shines in Florida vote
Victory launches Arizona senator ahead of Romney
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI Sen. John McCain
won a breakthrough triumph in
the Florida primary Tuesday night,
gaining the upper hand in the bat-
tle for the Republican presidential
nomination ahead of next weeks
contests across 21 states. Former
New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani
appeared ready to quit the race.
It shows one thing. Im the
conservative leader who can unite
the party, McCain said in a brief
interview with The Associated
Press.
Its a very significant boost,
but I think weve got a tough week
ahead and a lot of states to come.
The victory was worth 57
national convention delegates for
McCain, a winner-take-all haul that
catapulted him ahead of Romney
for the overall delegate lead.
Giuliani ran third, his best
showing of the campaign but not
nearly good enough for the one-
time front-runner who decided to
make his last stand in a state that
is home to tens of thousands of
transplanted New Yorkers.
In remarks to supporters in
Orlando, he referred to his candi-
dacy repeatedly in the past tense
as though it was over. Well
stay involved and together well
make sure that well do everything
we can to hand our nation off to
the next generation better than it
was before, he said.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike
Huckabee trailed, but told sup-
porters he would campaign on.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul was fifth,
and last.
Romney, who has spent mil-
lions of dollars of his personal for-
tune to run for the White House,
also vowed to stay in the race.
At a time like this, America
needs a president in the White
House who has actually had a job
in the real economy, he told sup-
porters in St. Petersburg.
Florida marked the end of one
phase of the campaign, the last in a
series of single-state contests.
The campaign goes national
next week, with 21 states hold-
ing primaries and caucuses on
Tuesday and 1,023 party conven-
tion delegates at stake.
Returns from 73 percent of the
states precincts showed McCain,
the Arizona senator, with 36 per-
cent of the vote and Romney, the
former governor of Massachusetts,
with 31 percent.
The victory was another step
in one of the most remarkable
political comebacks of recent
times. McCain entered the race
the front-runner, then found his
campaign unraveling last summer
as his stands in favor of the Iraq
War and a controversial immigra-
tion bill proved unpopular.
The war gradually became less
of a concern after President Bushs
decision to increase troop deploy-
ments began to produce results.
McCain also sought to readjust his
position on immigration.
By the time of the New
Hampshire primary, he was primed
for victory, and got it. He won the
South Carolina primary last week,
taking first place in the state that
had snuffed out his presidential
hopes in 2000.

Clinton dominates Sunshine State
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAVIE, Fla. Hillary Rodham
Clinton won the Florida Democratic
primary Tuesday night, an event
that drew no campaigning by any of
her presidential rivals and awarded
no delegates to the winner.
But Clinton promptly declared it
a welcome victory.
The New York senator, fresh off
her lopsided loss to Barack Obama
in last weekends South Carolina
primary, arranged a rally in the
state as the polls were closing, an
evident attempt to gain campaign
momentum.
She and Obama collide next
week in a coast-to-coast competi-
tion for delegates across 22 states.
Last year, the national party
stripped Florida of its delegates as
punishment for moving its primary
ahead of Feb. 5 and the candidates
pledged to bypass the state. At stake
Tuesday were 185 delegates.
It is expected that the even-
tual nominee will try to seat del-
egates from Florida and Michigan,
reversing the Democratic National
Committees punishment.
This has been a record turn-
out because Floridians wanted
their voices to be heard. I promise
you I will do everything I can to
make sure not only are Floridas
Democratic delegates seated but
Florida is in the winning column
for the Democrats in 2008, she
said.
Michigan also violated party
rules by moving its primary to
Jan. 15, and party leaders voted to
strip the state of its 156 delegates as
punishment. Clinton has also made
a plea for Michigan delegates to be
seated at the convention.
Exit polls of Florida Democrats
conducted for The Associated
Press and the television networks
showed that the economy was the
most important issue facing the
country.

Barack Obamas speech in Kansas
City, Mo., lasted less than an hour
yesterday evening, but the crowd was
clearly not disappointed with his per-
formance.
The crowd cheered loudly and
shouted Obamas
slogan, Yes we
can! while the
campaigns theme
song, Signed,
Sealed, Delivered
by Stevie Wonder,
blared as Obama
walked off the
stage.
He has a sincerity in his voice
thats really refreshing, said Ryan
Hand, Lee Summit, Mo., junior. He
just has a command in his voice that
can encourage people to start step-
ping forward and to change things.
Obama visited his mothers home-
town, El Dorado, yesterday after-
noon before stopping off at the
Municipal Auditorium Exhibition
Hall in Kansas City, Mo. College
students, children and baby boomers
joined forces at the hall to show their
support for the presidential hopeful.
Obama, a senator from Illinois, used
the opportunity to discuss his plat-
form and to reach out specifically to
the areas college students.
Obama said he would give college
students $4,000 a year for tuition,
but students would have to do an
unnamed amount of community
service in return. Obama said stu-
dents could complete their com-
munity service through long-term
commitments like the Peace Corps
or through commitments such as
serving food at a soup kitchen.
We will invest in you, and you
will invest in America, Obama said.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius openly
supported Obama for the first time at
yesterdays events. She said she sup-
ported Obama because of his effort
to get more students involved with
politics.
Its not only good for the cam-
paign, its good for America, Sebelius
said.
In his speech, Obama also denied
allegations that he had Islamic
extremist connections.
Ive been a member of the same
church for 20 years, Obama said.
Ive been praising Jesus in that
church. When I open up the Senate
I pledge allegiance to the flag, and to
the Republic, for which it stands, one
nation under God.
He also said he was not running
for president because of a long-held
ambition, but because the American
dream was slowly slipping away and
he hoped to restore it.
Obama also did not waste the
opportunity to remind voters that
he opposed the war in Iraq from
the start.
I will end this war, Obama said.
I not only want to end this mindset.
I want to end the mindset that got us
in the war.
Obama said that unlike the Bush
administration, he would lead the
United States with diplomacy.
I want to go before the world
community and say, America is
back, Obama said.
No matter what happened in the
elections, Obama said, he could
promise voters that no one from the
Bush administration would be on
the ballot.
My cousin Dick Cheneys name
will not be on the ballot, Obama
said jokingly about the recent dis-
covery that he and Cheney are eighth
cousins. When they do these genea-
logical surveys you are hoping you
are related to somebody cool, like
Paul Revere. But Cheney? Thats just
embarrassing.
He sent a message to people who
called him a hope peddler or nave.
He said he knew it was going to be
hard to provide health care to every
person in America, but that hope
is what ended slavery and earned
women the right to vote.
Many KU students, includ-
ing Hand, skipped class to attend
Obamas Stand for Change event.
Tyler Anderson, New York senior,
said he and Hand waited outside for
about two hours before they were
admitted into the hall. He said the
wait to see Obama was worth it,
though.
Hand said he was unsure whether
he would vote for Obama in the elec-
tion, but that Obama made some
compelling statements.
Katie Arthur, Owasso, Okla.,
freshman, said she had already con-
sidered voting for Obama, but his
speech confirmed her vote. She said
his dedication to the genocide in
Darfur was moving.
Thats a really big issue for me
because I have some family that
lives over there, Arthur said. Its so
heartbreaking. When he said some-
thing about helping out Darfur and
AIDS, that was pretty great.
Megan Do, Wichita freshman,
said she had been an Obama sup-
porter since 2004 when Obama was
elected to the Senate. Do was stand-
ing in the front row at the rally and
shook Obamas hand.
It was amazing, Do said. I hon-
estly thought, This is going to be the
next president of the United States.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius
endorses Barack Obama
EL DORADO Democrat
Barack Obama intensified a serious
effort Tuesday to win what has been
a safe Republican state and picked
up Gov. Kathleen Sebelius endorse-
ment for his White House bid.
Hundreds of cheering supporters
braved blowing snow and frigid tem-
peratures to crowd into a gymnasi-
um at Butler Community College to
see Obama, one week before Kansas
presidential caucuses. The city fire
marshal estimated 1,900 people were
in the gym and about 400 more were
in overflow areas in other buildings.
He began his speech by declaring:
Were among friends here. Were
family.
He said he could talk about mak-
ing politics less divisive because of
his personal experiences. Its a story
that began here in El Dorado, he
said.
Democratic presidential can-
didates long had sought Sebelius
backing in a state that George W.
Bush carried by large margins in
the 2000 and 2004 elections. No
Democratic nominee for the White
House has won Kansas electoral
votes since 1964, but Sebelius has
won two terms and prospered politi-
cally.

Im confused. What team am I covering
again?
I certainly dont recognize this K-State
basketball team. To say they did a lot of
growing up while the students were home
for break is somewhat of an understatement.
Its like they went from toddlers to applying
for their drivers licenses in three weeks.
Suddenly, when a triple-team is thrown
on Michael Beasley, the team doesnt panic
and run for the hills. If their offensive
scheme completely breaks down (see the
last five seconds of the Oklahoma game),
they think clearly and actually make a
worthwhile play.
Im not saying this team hasnt made
mistakes or acted like freshmen since the
winter break. But theres something magi-
cal in the air whenever they step onto the
court at Bramlage Coliseum. The fans have
been coming out in droves to support their
team and, trust me, it has helped. If the
fans honestly dont think they are affecting
the final score, they should think back to
the Texas A&M game, when the raucous
purple mass thoroughly rattled the Aggies
right out of their No. 10 ranking.
Not only has the team grown up, but the
coach has as well. Frank Martin has been
coaching better now and his team of assis-
tants has done an excellent job of developing
schemes to play to the teams strengths. They
have put together a starting lineup of Clent
Stewart, Blake Young, Andre Gilbert, Bill
Walker and Michael Beasley. This lineup has
a 6-1 record so far this season.
Martin has also been smarter with his
substitutions. Hes seen the play of Darren
Kent gradually improve, so he has been
getting increasing minutes of play. Both
Gilbert and Jacob Pullen stepped up and
are being rewarded accordingly. Although
Dominique Sutton has not made a sig-
Have you heard? The Kansas State
Wildcats are now in the guaranteeing busi-
ness. Over the course of the offseason,
Michael Beasley and Bill Walker, both prob-
ably spending the last months of their lives
in Manhappenin, both predicted a season
sweep of the Jayhawks.
Of course youve heard. These prepos-
terous guarantees are as much a fabric of
professional and collegiate athletics as game
balls and referees. Additionally, they garner
as much attention as Dick Vitale with a
megaphone.
Walker said at the Big 12 Media Day:
Ill predict it. Im not scared to say it. Im a
man. I can live up to my words. Im saying
well beat em. Both places (Lawrence and
Manhattan).
Beasley upped the ante, taking his guar-
antee across continental boundaries: Were
gonna beat KU at home. Were gonna beat
em at their house. Were gonna beat em in
Africa. Wherever we play were gonna beat
em,
Silly Wildcats. My guess is these prognos-
tications go as well as Steelers safety Anthony
Smiths guarantee that his team would beat
the Patriots (who still havent lost this sea-
son), Jon Kitnas guarantee that the Lions
would win more than 10 games this year
(they finished the season on a 1-7 swoon and
were victorious seven times total) or the old
George Bushs guarantee that there would be
no new taxes (lets just move on).
In the tradition of hyperbolic, obnoxious
guarantees, I have a few of my own: every
game these two teams play this year will be
in the continental United States, the Hawks
will not lose two games to the Cats this year
and both Walker and Beasley will feel pri-
vately foolish for prodding a beast that wasnt
sleepingKansas, after all, is undefeated and
ranked second in the nation.
Look, Im not saying the Wildcats cant
beat the Jayhawks tonight. If the two prog-
nosticators fill the hoop as well as they flap
their gums, K-State will have a chance. Im
saying it probably would have behooved the
pair to take a history lesson. The Wildcats
havent beaten the Jayhawks on their home
floor since 1983. A loss tonight would be
their 25th consecutive in Manhattan. There
isnt one player on either roster that was alive
the last time the Purple successfully defend-
ed their home court against the Crimson
and Blue.
Its been the same 25 years since the
Wildcats defeated the Jayhawks twice in the
same season, although the 1982-83 Kansas
squad stunk (I think. I wasnt alive then,
either). Ted Owens led that team to a
13-16 record and was promptly fired. The
rest of the Big 8 had fun at the Jayhawks
expense that year, as wellKansas was 4-10
in-conference.

Kansas focus
rests on game,
not on streak
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
All you have to do is mention two
words: the streak. Kansas and Kansas State
basketball fans know exactly what they
mean. Kansas has won 24 consecutive bas-
ketball games in Manhattan, including 19
straight at Bramlage Coliseum. For Kansas
fans, the streak is a source of pride an
opportunity to stick out their chests and
boast to their K-State friends. For K-State
fans, the streak is a source of humiliation
a dreary reminder of the general futility
of K-States basketball program during the
last 25 years. But if you mention the streak
to Kansas coach Bill Self, you get a starkly
different reaction. Self and his players, well,
they just dont care.
I dont need to address that because
they dont have anything to do with it,
Self said. They could care less about it. Its
something that the media and fans make a
big deal about it.
In 1983, the last time Kansas lost in
Manhattan, Return of the Jedi was the
number one movie at the box office.
Michael Jacksons album Thriller was
number one on the Billboard music charts.
More importantly, not a single member of
the Kansas basketball team was even alive.
Maybe thats why senior forward Darnell
Jackson who was born more than two
years after the streak began said Kansas
players didnt feel any added pressure to
continue the streak.
We are not worried about anything like
that. Were just worrying about the next
day, the next game. Jackson said. I dont
think there is pressure on anybody.
Freshman forward Cole Aldrich has
never even played in a game against K-
State. His teammates have prepped him
about playing the Wildcats, but not about
the streak.
Not really many people have talked
about it, Aldrich said. We just really take
it game by game.
Kansas players may not be stressing
about upholding the streak, but senior
guard Russell Robinson thinks that K-State
players will be thinking about it.
I think it would mean more to them
than us right now, Robinson said.
K-States two leading scorers freshmen
Michael Beasley and Bill Walker have
both guaranteed that the streak would end
this season. Walker made his declaration
at Big 12 Media Day in October. Beasleys
words came last summer. Were gonna beat
KU at home. Were gonna
beat em at their house.
Were gonna beat em
in Africa, Beasley said.
Wherever we play, were
gonna beat em.
First-year Kansas
State coach Frank
Martin stood by
Beasleys comments
during his Big 12
conference call on
Monday. Mike said
what he felt in his
heart, Martin said.
Its what he believes.
He didnt come here to
lose to Kansas.
If Beasley can keep
good on his word, hell

So this is how
Kansas players view
the enemy.
Were buddies, Cole
Aldrich said.
Hes pretty cool, Darrell
Arthur added.
The player theyre talking about it is
Michael Beasley, and Aldrich and Arthur
might not have those same feelings after
they go against him and Kansas State
tonight at 7.
Beasleys the best freshman in the
country this year, maybe the best fresh-
man ever. Hes recorded a double-dou-
ble of points and rebounds in every
game except one. Hes probably going to be
the No. 1 pick in Junes NBA Draft. Hes as big
of a celebrity as is possible in Manhattan but
still tells media all he needs in life is a bowl
of macaroni and cheese. The Jayhawks will
have to stop, or at least contain, the talented
and sometimes goofy freshman to keep their
undefeated record and win for the 25th time
in a row in Manhattan.
It wont be easy.
Beasley does everything. He shoots. He
posts up. He blocks. He rebounds. All of
those strengths have earned him monster
stats this season. Beasley is averaging 25.3
points, 12.7 boards, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals.
Hes shooting 56 percent from the field and
38 percent from the three-point line.
Junior guard Brandon Rush watches
Beasley all the time on TV. Hes seen how
good he is.
He does it all, Rush said.
But he can be stopped. Xavier held Beasley
to just five points in a December loss. The
first step to containing Beasley is not letting
him get the ball. The guards have to be active
to do that.
Rush, Russell Robinson and Mario
Chalmers form one of the best defensive
backcourts in the country. Together, they have
120 steals on the year. If they can pressure
K-State guards Jacob Pullen, Clent Stewart,
Blake Young and forward Bill Walker, the
Wildcats will have trouble passing the ball
down low to Beasley and will force Beasley to
come out further on the perimeter.
Thats a big key, Kansas coach Bill Self

ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. Three days
after a weekend altercation left
his top scorer with a broken jaw,
Missouri basketball coach Mike
Anderson has suspended five play-
ers indefinitely.
In a statement from the univer-
sity, Anderson declined to indicate
the reason for the discipline, calling
the infractions a violation of team
rules.
But the move comes as Columbia
police verified Tuesday that sev-
eral teammates were with senior
guard Stefhon Hannah when he
was attacked outside the downtown
nightclub Athena early Sunday
morning. The injury could cause
Hannah to miss the rest of the sea-
son.
Suspended from Wednesdays
home game against Nebraska, and
possibly beyond, are senior guard
Jason Horton and forwards Marshall
Brown, Darryl Butterfield and Leo
Lyons. Butterfield and Brown also
are seniors; Lyons is a junior. Each is
either a starter or a key reserve.
Hannah, who returned home to
Chicago after surgery, also is sus-
pended.
I am very disappointed in
the actions of these young men,
Anderson said. We have defined
team rules and when those rules
arent followed, our guys must be
held accountable for their actions.
Anderson implemented what he
called a zero-tolerance policy after
junior forward DeMarre Carroll
his nephew was shot in the ankle
outside another Columbia nightclub
over the summer. Police said Carroll
was a bystander trying to break up
a fight.
Along with the injuries suffered
by Hannah and Carroll, three other
Tiger players have been involved
in off-court violence or misconduct
since Anderson was hired less than
two years ago.
One of those was Butterfield, who
was arrested on charges of third-
degree domestic assault for allegedly
punching an ex-girlfriend. He was
suspended before the season started
but was reinstated after missing one
exhibition game and an intrasquad
scrimmage.
Butterfield has since pleaded
guilty to a reduced charge of disturb-
ing the peace, a misdemeanor, and
was given a six-month suspended
sentence and two years of probation.
He also was ordered to attend 20
hours of anger management classes.
Kalen Grimes, the schools lead-
ing rebounder and starting center
last season, was dismissed from the
team after being arrested for hitting
a man in the face with the butt of a
shotgun in St. Louis in July.
And last February, reserve guard
Mike Anderson Jr., the coachs son,
was suspended from the team after a
drunken-driving arrest but was later
reinstated.
Police said that 20 to 30 people
were outside the nightclub when
they arrived after the assault, but
that none of the observers provided
any details about the fight. Hannah
told police he was hit by an unknown
object by at least one person he could
not identify.
The clubs owner did not return
telephone message seeking com-
ment.
Athena, which has been open for
about four years, also is a popular
hangout for Missouri athletes. Lyons
and Missouri football safety William
Moore, who are rap musicians, have
performed there.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO Torrey Pines
turned out to be a real wake-up
call.
Some players were overwhelmed,
nervous, even a little scared. Others
were frustrated. Most of them were
deeply concerned about the future
of golf, perhaps not grasping the
magnitude of what lies ahead.
And that was before Tiger
Woods teed off.
In morning and afternoon
sessions last week at the Buick
Invitational, more than 100 players
filed into a white tent for a manda-
tory meeting on the PGA Tours
new anti-dop-
ing policy.
Drug experts
have been
available since
the Sony
Open. The tour
doesnt release
attendance fig-
ures for such
voluntary vis-
its, but its a
safe bet these
guys had more
interest in Pro V1s than TUEs
(therapeutic use exemptions).
That might have changed last
Tuesday.
PGA Tour commissioner Tim
Finchem was at the helm, joined
by two staff attorneys and three
outside advisors. One of them was
a top expert on the World Anti-
Doping Agency list, which the tour
used as a guide for its policy and
procedures.
Even more disturbing was the
process of random testing, which
could happen anytime and any-
where.
Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger
was indignant over having a col-
lector accompany him into the
restroom to watch him drop his
pants and lift his shirt to make
sure he didnt have a urine sample
taped to his side. And when it was
mentioned that anywhere could
include coming to a players house,
Frank Lickliter suggested in so
many words that the drug official
bring a warrant.
Hes going to have a hard time
getting off my property without
a bullet in his (behind), Lickliter
said.
Lickliter doesnt understand why
the tour adopted WADA guidelines
for golf, noting that Vicks Vapor
Inhaler is prohibited.
If I use Vicks nasal spray three
times, they can
kick me off the
tour forever,
Lickliter said.
Now, do you
think Vicks
nasal spray is
helping me
compete out
here? Half the
stuff theyre
testing for
doesnt help
golfers. These
so-called experts are not experts
in golf.
For all the discussion, there is
no getting around the fact that
drug testing is coming.
Whether golf needs it no lon-
ger is an issue, although it is
hard to refute the recommenda-
tion European Tour chief George
OGrady offered in half-jest last
year about only testing Woods.
If hes clean, what does it mat-
ter what the rest of them are on?
OGrady said.
With apologies to endless PGA
Tour hype, this is the new era of
golf.
Its just a different cup.
PGA players submit

By TAyLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
Courtney Paris is the most domi-
nant player in college basketball.
Not just Division I womens bas-
ketball, but all genders and all levels
of collegiate basketball.
On Sunday, Paris poured in
18 points and pulled down 14
rebounds in Oklahomas 65-57 win
over Georgia, for her 78th consecu-
tive double-double.
She has defined the center posi-
tion in the Big 12 for the past three
years, but in another year Paris will
graduate. That means the door will
be open for the next dominant Big
12 post player, and tonights match-
up between Paris and Kansas fresh-
man center Krysten Boogaard could
be a case of present versus future
with respect to that title.
Athletics runs in the family of
both players, as Paris father was an
All-Pro for the San Francisco 49ers
and Boogaards brother is a left wing
for the Minnesota Wild.
While Boogaards freshman cam-
paign hasnt been nearly as suc-
cessful as her counterparts Paris
became the first player in NCAA
history to collect 700 points, 500
rebounds and 100 blocks in a season
there has been a drastic improve-
ment in her play from game one to
the present.
At the beginning of the year,
coach Bonnie Henrickson worked
hard to rid Boogaard of her ten-
dency to dribble in the post. Now
she keeps the ball high and powers
her way to the basket.
Other areas of Boogaards game
have expanded as well, and they
were on display in Saturdays loss to
Texas A&M.
In Kansas first possession of the
game, Boogaard caught a pass at
the free throw line, put the ball
on the floor and slipped past a
defender for an easy bucket. On
defense Boogaard recorded three
blocks, one of them where she came
in from halfway across the court.
I thought she handled the speed,
athleticism and strength really, real-
ly well, Henrickson said. And I was
anxious to see that, because every
night in this league its something
different inside.
Aggie coach Gary Blair decided
to play behind Boogaard instead of
fronting her, and after the game he
admitted that she was too much to
handle that way.
She dominated, Blair said. She
dominated my All-Big 12 center and
she dominated my back up. This is
the best five player Ive seen since
(Crystal) Kemp got out of here. This
kid has a great future.
That future is taking shape with
every game she plays, but tonights
is of extra significance because
Boogaard will see how she stacks up
against the best center in the confer-
ence and in the country. It will actu-
ally be the second time the players
square off, as both participated for
their respective countries junior
national teams two years ago.
It was really tough to play
against her but Ive improved since
then and I feel that I can go up
against her now, said Boogaard, the
Regina, Saskatchewan native.
Now the only thing to find out
is when the future becomes the
present.

W
ith the power and
depth of the American
League Central on the rise, the
Kansas City Royals may be a team
to add to this force in 2008.
The Kansas City Royals want to
build off its 69-93 record from last
year and become one of the stories
that have been ever so prominent in
the vast array of teams in their divi-
sion. One of the teams the Royals is
trying to chase down is also a team it
is trying to resemble.
The Detroit Tigers finished the
2005 season with a record of 71-91.
The following year, the youth they
had been developing came through
with key offseason additions as
the Tigers went 95-67. This was a
feel-good story that would soon be
overshadowed.
The Cleveland Indians finished
2006 with a record of 78-84. The
following season the Indians went
on a tear and finished 96-66.
This was all following a World
Series Championship victory by
the Chicago White Sox in 2005,
in which the White Sox posted a
record of 99-63, bettering its record
the year before at 83-79. Catch my
optimism? While this may not be
the formula that the Kansas City
Royals will use to win an ALCS title
in 2008, it is a reason for Royals
fans to get excited and back their
team.
Another reason is the Royals
increase in the payroll. The Royals
are spending more money and
acquiring bigger name players. One
of the most notable for 2008 is out-
fielder Jose Guillen.
Guillen joins the Royals from
Seattle where he had a .290 average
and 23 home runs. This is the pop
the Royals have been seeking from
the corner outfield position. Joining
Guillen in the outfield will be Mark
Teahen and David DeJesus. With
Teahens bat and arm and DeJesus
range, the 2008 edition of the
Royals outfield may be the best in
recent history.
The Royals 2008 infield will
feature some bright young stars and
the possibility of a breakout season.
Two of those players are third base-
man Alex Gordon and designated
hitter and first baseman Billy Butler.
While Gordon struggled early in
2007, he showed toward the end
of the year the reason the Royals
drafted him so high.
Butler, meanwhile, came up
hitting the ball very well, but his
fielding blunders limited his play.
The Royals will look to use these
two as cornerstones as it continues
to develop young players on the
rise, such as Tony Pena Jr., Joey
Gathright, Luke Hochevar and Zach
Greinke. These are some players
that Royals fans should get familiar
with, because these players will
decide the Royals future during and
after the upcoming season.
The pieces are starting to fall into
place and the road ahead is still a
steep one. For Royals fans who are
sick of the dismal outcomes of past
seasons, it is OK to have excitement
as the year approaches. In all indica-
tions, its our turn, right?

Andy Pettitte to discuss steroid use
MlB
AssOcIATED PREss
WASHINGTON A lawyer
for Andy Pettittes former personal
trainer said Tuesday he believes the
pitcher will tell Congress he dis-
cussed human growth hormone with
Roger Clemens between the 2001
and 2002 seasons.
The lawyer, Earl Ward, said
Pettitte talked about HGH with
trainer Brian McNamee following
a conversation with Clemens, who
has denied that he used HGH or ste-
roids. McNamee worked with both
Clemens and Pettitte.
Were hopeful based on Andys
reputation that he will corroborate
Brians statements with regard to
Roger, Ward said in a telephone
interview.
Pettittes meeting with a congres-
sional committee investigating drug
use in baseball was postponed until
Monday. He originally was slated
to appear for a deposition or tran-
scribed interview Wednesday but
the date was changed Tuesday by the
House Oversight and Government
Reform Committee.
McNamee said in last months
Mitchell Report that he injected
Clemens at least 16 times with ste-
roids or HGH in 1998, 2000 and
2001. He said he injected Pettitte two
to four times with HGH.
Pettitte admitted two days after
the Mitchell Report was released that
he tried HGH for two days in 2002
before it was banned by players
and owners.
Ward said the discussion he was
referring to occurred at Clemens
house.
Based on what we know, there
was a situation where Andy was
speaking to Roger in Brians pres-
ence, then Andy came over to Brian
and essentially said, Why didnt you
tell me about this stuff? He referred
to HGH, Ward
said. Brian
d i s c o u r a g e d
him and then
several months
later, when he
(Pettitte) got
injured, he came
back and asked
Brian about it,
and thats when
Brian injected
him. We believe
that based on the
fact that Andy came to Brian and
asked him about HGH, it was Roger
who told Andy about HGH and
thats why he asked Brian about it.
Richard Emery, another lawyer
for McNamee, said his client and
Pettitte also discussed steroids use
by Clemens.
Pettitte is certainly going to tell
the truth and if he tells the truth
everything will be fine, Emery said.
There are a number of conversa-
tions where Pettitte and Brian talked
about Clemens use. I think there is
everything to believe Pettitte is not
a liar.
Jay Reisinger, Pettittes lawyer,
would not discuss what Pettitte
would say.
Lanny Breuer, Clemens new law-
yer, said the seven-time Cy Young
Award winner stood by his denials.
Roger Clemens remarkable suc-
cess as a pitcher has everything to
do with his extraordinary work ethic
and his innate abilities, and nothing
to do with HGH or steroids, Breuer
said in a statement. Let me be clear:
Roger Clemens never took HGH
and he never took steroids.
The delay of Pettittes deposi-
tion or transcribed interview was
the latest switch
in the sched-
ule of meetings
between wit-
nesses and staff
before the Feb.
13 hearing.
Just a mutual-
ly agreeable post-
ponement, said
Keith Ausbrook,
Republican gen-
eral counsel for
the committee.
It give us a little more time to pre-
pare and gives him a little more time
to prepare.
Also asked to appear at next
months hearing are Clemens,
McNamee, former Yankees second
baseman Chuck Knoblauch, and
former New York Mets clubhouse
employee Kirk Radomski.
Mr. Pettitte is cooperating vol-
untarily with the committee, and
we look forward to his testimony
on Monday, panel chairman Henry
Waxman and ranking Republican
Tom Davis said in a joint statement.
We appreciate Mr. Pettittes willing-
ness to assist the committee.
Knoblauch now is scheduled for
Friday and would be the first of the
five Feb. 13 witnesses to provide a
deposition or transcribed interview.
He agreed to appear after a subpoena
was issued.
Clemens is to follow Feb. 5, with
McNamee down for Feb. 7, and
Radomski on Feb. 12 pending
further changes to a repeatedly shuf-
fled schedule.
Letters sent by Waxman and Davis
to Clemens, Pettitte and Knoblauch
on Jan. 16, requesting their appear-
ances both at the hearing and a pre-
hearing meeting, said: The commit-
tee asks that you provide testimony
about allegations in Senator George
Mitchells report ... that you and
other Major League Baseball players
used performance enhancing drugs
during your professional baseball
career.
Clemens, Pettitte and Knoblauch
were among more than 80 players
named in the Mitchell Report.
McNamee told Mitchell he
acquired HGH from Radomski
for Knoblauch in 2001, and that
he injected the player with it.
Knoblauchs major league career
ended in 2002.
Radomski pleaded guilty in April
to federal felony charges of distribut-
ing steroids and laundering money,
and is scheduled to be sentenced
Feb. 8.
The 35-year-old Pettitte has a 201-
113 major league record and won
four World Series championships
with the Yankees. He also helped
his hometown Houston Astros reach
their first World Series.
Pettitte returned to the Yankees
last season and went 15-9. This off-
season, he put off retirement and
agreed to a $16 million, one-year
contract to play for the Yankees next
season.
ASSociAted PreSS
Andy Pettitte, NewYork Yankees pitcher, is involved in baseballs steroids scandal. Earl Ward,
one of trainer Brian McNamees lawyers, said Pettitte would probably testify before Congress about
discussing human growth hormone with Roger Clemens between the 2001 and 2002 seasons.
Pettitte is certainly going to tell
the truth and if he tells the truth
everything will be fne.

have done something that no K-
State player has done in 25 years.
Some of the games have been
close, like Kansas 64-63 victory in
1998. And some have been blow-
outs, like Kansas 85-57 victory in
Manhattan in 1990.
But every time, Kansas has
found a way to survive. So while
Kansas players have downplayed
the streaks importance, Robinson
admitted that he doesnt want to
go down in history as the team
that finally lost in Manhattan.
We just try to maintain it and
just win the next game, and thats
all you can do. Hopefully were
not the team to lose it, Robinson
said.

contribution to the team.
I guess what is so confusing to
me is that I dont recall there being
a K-State team in the recent past
who has not hit the panic but-
ton multiple times going down the
stretch when the game is close. For
every three-point shot the other
team makes, Walker or Stewart will
step right up and down another
one. When Beasley gets a few fouls
and is taken from the game and
replaced with Kent, someone on the
floor still finds a way to score while
doing everything they can to limit
the other team.
When the other team ties the
game with less than five seconds
left, Beasley just does his thing:
he steps right up to the plate and
lays the ball in to stun a crowd of
Sooners on their home turf.
Not only is this team playing
cool and confident, but they are
also playing smart. They have
enough experience under their belt
now that they can read screens,
see defensive schematics and are
quick to change from one defense
to another. Even better, they are a
true joy to watch. During the sec-
ond half of the Texas A&M game,
you could see them out there hav-
ing fun. They were smiling, trying
things they hadnt before, doing fun
passes and working hard together.
They were a team and even bet-
ter they were a team who proved
they could come together when it
really mattered. Even if Texas A&M
was overrated, it doesnt matter. K-
States 20-point victory over them
still opened a lot of eyes.
I almost dont want this basket-
ball season to end. Its been a real
joy to watch these guys play togeth-
er. Whether they play together for
four years or whether they cut their
losses and take off to the NBA, Ill
say this for them: its been an enjoy-
able season so far.
Edited by Madeline Hyden
a similar deficiency in talent, to
say the least. They needed extra
motivation in the same way that
Ron Prince needs another bowl-less
season.
I especially enjoyed the Jayhawks
reaction to the guarantees. Brandon
Rush said they were just as stupid
as Bob Huggins proclamation that
KSU would beat KU last year in
Manhattan (the Jayhawks won 71-
62). Darnell Jackson said Beasley
would be in Africa by himself and
Bill Self said it would be difficult
to travel there. Darrell Arthur not
so subtly said Kevin Durant was
better than Beasley. The Jayhawks
are the older brother who holds his
younger siblings head as he flails
away unsuccessfully.
Frank Martin also offered an
amusing take. After being apprised
of his star players proclamations,
Martin empahatically said he had no
problem with them. Really, Frank?
You lead a team whose success on
its homecourt over the last quarter
century against its most bitter rival
has been worse than George Ws
approval rating from democrats.
Now you are being led into battle
against the 20-0 Jayhawks by the
Kings of Unintentional Comedy.
It doesnt concern you just a bit?
Really?
Look, I get it. Everyone wants
to be Joe Namath and correctly
predict that his or her team shocks
the world. I also know that the
collected inferiority complex of the
basketball program one hour west
will cause people to say crazy things
to garner a piece of the national
attention that comes naturally to a
successful program.
Couple that with the fact that
both Walker and Beasley, a pair
who bought a false bill of goods
from Bob Huggins, have one foot
out the door to the NBA already,
and I probably could have cor-
rectly guaranteed that these guar-
antees would be made. If they lose
tonight, its likely that neither player
will be around to see the streak con-
tinue into the future. It wont even
be a Little Apple in their eyes.
Edited by Jared Duncan
said about guard play. We need to
do a good job of creating enough
havoc where they dont get easy dish-
es into the post.
But will it even matter if they push
Beasley out to the perimeter? He
may be less effective out there but
only slightly.
Hes going to catch the ball some
at three feet, Self said, and if he
cant catch it there, hell catch it at
six. And if he cant catch it at six,
hell catch it at nine. Hes just a really
good player.
With that kind of shooting range
and versatility, Beasley will tire out
whomevers guarding him. Self said
Arthur, Jackson and Kaun would
all probably take turns guarding
Beasley.
Arthur might be the best man for
the job. He played with and against
Beasley last summer at the USA U-
19 tryouts. Beasley spent most of his
free time in Arthurs room, and the
two talented players bonded.
Since then, theyve gone sepa-
rate ways on the basketball court.
Beasleys turned into a force. Arthur
still plays inconsistently. He only got
one rebound against Iowa State just
last week. Rush said thats not the
Arthur he watches in practice every
day.
Hes just amazing, Rush said.
He scores nonstop. Hes unstop-
pable.
The aggressive Arthur has been
on display lately. Hes scored 18 and
16 points in the last two games. Rush
thinks the matchup against Arthurs
friend, Beasley, could elevate Arthur
to a new level. Arthur sure hopes so.
I always believe in myself, he
said.
If Arthur, or anybody, can con-
tain Beasley, the Jayhawks will have
a much better opportunity to win,
but even if Beasley gets his numbers,
Kansas isnt finished. The Jayhawks
werent last year when they played
Texas Kevin Durant.
Durant torched Kansas. Twice.
He scored 37 in Allen Fieldhouse
and put up the same number in the
Big 12 Tournament championship.
The Jayhawks won both games. They
proved that a stronger team can off-
set a supremely talented player.
It could happen just like that
tonight. Beasley might get his points.
He might get his rebounds. Hell
definitely get a fair share of the head-
lines before and after the game.
All of thats OK with Rush. He said
hes ready for a matchup between one
of the best players and one of the best
teams.
Hes a freshman, Rush said. Hes
going to get his glory. At the end of
the day, were going to have the last
word.
He paused.
I hope.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. It turns out
Tony Temples career at Missouri is,
in fact, over.
Temple announced Tuesday he
will give up on any further appeals
for an extra year of eligibility and
focus on readying himself for the
NFL draft.
Its time to move on and focus
on doing what I need to do to make
a positive impression for the next
level, Temple said in a statement
released through the university.
Temple played in just one game as
a freshman in 2004, carrying six times
for 13 yards in a loss at Nebraska
before injuring his Achilles tendon.
Because of the short stint, Missouri
coach Gary Pinkel was hopeful he
might be granted an extra year of
eligibility.
The request was turned down
earlier this month by the Big 12.
Temple has dropped his appeal to
the NCAA.
It was worth a shot, but I dont
want anyone spending any more time
on it, Temple said. Coach Pinkel
and I decided before last season that
we should approach the 2007 season
like it was going to be my last, and
Im glad we did it that way.
Temple certainly went out on
a high note, rushing for a Cotton
Bowl record 281 yards and scoring
four touchdowns in Missouris 38-7
win over Arkansas on Jan. 1. The
Tigers had one of their best seasons
ever, finishing 12-2 and No. 4 in the
nation.
After rushing for 1,039 yards
in 2007 Temple became the first
Missouri running back to eclipse
the 1,000-yard mark in more than
one season. He rushed for 1,063
yards in 2006. His 2,552 career
rushing yards rank sixth on the
teams all-time list.

Oklahoma is coming of an
impressive home win against #17
Georgia and looking to make a
move after stumbling early in Big
12 play. The Jayhawks shouldnt
pose too much of a threat but the
Sooners cant overlook anyone.
Oklahomas only home loss this
season was against Baylor, and a
loss to Kansas in Norman would
be devastating to their Big 12 title
hopes.
Can Courtney Paris replicate
last years dominating perfor-
mance?
Paris had 32 points and 13
rebounds to help Oklahoma nip
Kansas 76-70 in Allen Fieldhouse.
Considering the Jayhawks docu-
mented inability to keep teams of
the ofensive boards, she could be
in for an even bigger night. Kansas
cant match-up with her size and
strength and can only hope to limit
her contributions enough to have a
chance down the stretch.
1-5 in conference play is not
where Kansas thought it would be
after going 11-2 in the nonconfer-
ence part of its schedule. Now
theres nothing the Jayhawks can
do but push forward and try and
climb back to .500, and thats not
going to be easy. The Jayhawks are
traveling to Norman and the Soon-
ers are playing their best basketball
of the season. In its three confer-
ence road losses, Kansas was de-
feated by an average of 21 points.
If Kansas is still in the game with
10 minutes left, thats a positive
step for coach Bonnie Henricksons
team.
Can Kansas end Courtney
Paris record streak of double-
doubles?
Its not likely that it can when
you consider the 21 ofensive
rebounds the Jayhawks gave up to
Texas A&M on Saturday. However,
because Kansas weakness was
exposed the past few days, it has
probably been flled with more
rebounding drills than you can
shake a stick at. For 78 straight
games, Paris has had her way with
opposing teams, and it would be
something if the Jayhawk post
players could end that. Every streak
has to come to an end, and why
not tonight?

PLAYERS TO WATCH
Krysten Boogaard, 6-foot-5 freshman center
8.2 ppg, 4.6 rpg
Nothing will be easy for Boogaard Wednesday
night as shell be going up against the two best post
players in the Big 12. Twins Courtney and Ashley
Paris combine to average 28.1 ppg and 22.8 rpg.
Courtney also ranks seventh in the nation with 3.2
bpg. Boogaard needs to get of to a fast start and be
physical on the block. If she doesnt, the Paris twins
will dominate her on both ends.
Sade Morris, 5-foot-11 sophomore
guard
11.5 ppg, team high 31.1 mpg
This is a homecoming for the Nor-
man, Okla., native, which could be good
news for Kansas. There is sure to be
a good-sized contingent of Morris
supporters in the stands and the
emotion of playing in
her hometown for
the frst time since
high school could
bring out Morris
best.
Nicollette Smith, 6-foot-2 freshman
forward
6.2 ppg, 36 percent beyond the arc
The sharpshooter has been given extra
attention from defenders in Big 12 play,
making it tough for her to get the open looks
from long distance that she craves. Still,
Smith doesnt need a lot of room to operate,
so a little hole in the defense could easily turn
into three points for the Jayhawks.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Courtney Paris 6-foot-4 junior center
16.4 ppg, 15.4 rpg
Oklahoma no doubt watched Texas A&M junior
forward Danielle Gants domination of Kansas on
the ofensive glass on Saturday. Gant is the second
leading ofensive rebounder in the Big 12. Paris is
the conference leader by a considerable margin. Her
presence could spell doom for the Jayhawks.
Danielle Robinson 5-foot-9 freshman guard
13.4 ppg, 4.4 apg
Robinsons 13 points per game is all
the more impressive considering she
hasnt taken a three-pointer all sea-
son. She makes up for it by shooting an
impressive 54 percent from the feld
better than even Courtney Paris. The
freshman sensation should be a Sooner
mainstay at guard for the next three
years.
Ashley Paris 6-foot-3 junior
forward
11.7 ppg, 7.4 rpg
The lesser-known Par-
is sister is having quite a
season herself. Okla-
homa defnitely has size
and with the Paris sisters
averaging almost 23
rebounds com-
bined, freshman
center Krysten
Boogaard and senior
forward Taylor McIntosh
will have to be on top of
their games.
MLB
twins, mets reach deal
for trade of santana
NEW YORK The Minnesota
Twins reached a tentative agree-
ment Tuesday to trade Johan
Santana to the New York Mets.
After months of deliberation,
the Twins agreed to send the two-
time Cy Young Award winner to the
Mets for outfelder Carlos Gomez,
and pitchers Phil
Humber, Deolis
Guerra and
Kevin Mulvey, a
person familiar
with the deal
said.
The next step
is for the Mets
to negotiate a contract exten-
sion with Santana, who is eligible

HORSE RACING
Barbaro leaves memories
beyond racing victories
LOUISVILLE, Ky. The image of
Barbaro blazing down the stretch
at Churchill Downs, all four hooves
of the ground as the powerful bay
colt crushed the feld in the 2006
Kentucky Derby, is seared in Roy
Jacksons memory.
Its the way Jackson prefers to
think of Barbaro, whose thunder-
ous surge left a feld of 19 fellow
3-year-olds in his wake and whose
courage after a breakdown at the
Preakness two weeks later made
him an icon.
When it came time to decide
how best to honor the horse, who
was euthanized on Jan. 29, 2007
from complications of the break-
down, there was only one place
Roy Jackson and wife Gretchen
felt Barbaro would feel at home:
a short gallop from the site of his
greatest triumph.
Barbaros ashes and a statue will
be placed in front of an entrance
gate at Churchill Downs sometime
in 2009. The Jacksons announced
plans for the memorial on the
one-year anniversary of Barbaros
death, a day they called one of the
most difcult of their lives.
The Jacksons agonized for
months on where to place his ash-
es. Ultimately, they chose a place
where the public that inundated
Barbaros stall at the New Bolton
Center in Kennett Square, Pa., with
get-well cards, candy and gifts
during his rehabilitation could pay
tribute whenever they wanted.

We invite all people to participate in our community and worship life without insisting that they become like us in order to be acceptable (including but not limited to): believers and agnostics, conventional Christians
and questioning skeptics, women and men, those of all sexual orientation and gender identities, those of all races and cultures, those of all classes and abilities, those who hope for a better world and those who have lost
hope...We form ourselves into communities dedicated to equipping one another for work we feel called to do: striving for peace and justice among all people, protecting and restoring the integrity of all Gods creation, and
bringing hope to those Jesus called the least of his sisters and brothers...We recognize the faithfulness of other people who have other names for the way to Gods realm, and acknowledge that their ways are true for them, as
our ways are true for us.

Its hard to believe, but its been
50 years since Kansas and Kansas
State played each other when both
teams were ranked in the AP poll.
On March 8, 1958, No. 10 Kansas
defeated No. 1 K-State 61-44 in
Manhattan. This season, No. 22
K-State comes into tonights game
as one of the hottest teams in
the Big 12. The Wildcats are 14-4
overall, but 4-0 in the Big 12, and
have won fve consecutive games.
K-State beat Iowa State 82-57 on
Saturday and frst-year coach Frank
Martin has turned his Wildcats into
a dangerous and explosive team.
Dont forget about the elephant
sitting in the family room. K-State
hasnt beaten Kansas in Manhattan
since 1983.
Who do you think? Fresh-
man forward Michael Beasleys
statistics speak
for themselves:
25.3 points per
game, and 12.7
rebounds per
game. Simply
put, Beasley
is the type of
singular talent
that is immune
to all hyperbole. How good is he?
Bill Self had no problem invoking
Kevin Durants name when trying
to fnd a comparison to Beasley.
Their styles are diferent, but Self
said their impact is close to the
same. The sad part is, Beasley star
is simply too bright for the college
game. Enjoy him while you can.
Will K-State fnally win in
Manhattan?
This has to be one of the most
unfathomable streaks in all of
sports: 24 consecutive victories
on a rivals home foor. This could
be K-States best chance to end
the streak since former Wildcat
Mitch Ritchmond was suiting up
in purple. Beasley will be the most
talented player on the foor. Fel-
low freshman Bill Walker can take
over games as well. In fact, K-State
would be wise to snap this streak
tonight. If not, this baby could
reach 30.
Well, they are both really
good. They are comparable there.
I thought you would never see a
freshman dominate college bas-
ketball as (Kevin) Durant did as the
unanimous National Player of the
Year as a freshman. Michael has that
same opportunity in front of him, if
he fnishes the season strong, to be
the National Player of the Year also.
Bill Self, on Beasley-Durant comparisons
The ProjecTed STarTing Five
Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard
Heres what Russell needs to do: defend Blake
Young and Jacob Pullen and continue to fnd his
open teammates. Hes done it all year long and
should have no trouble tonight because he will be
the best point guard on the foor.

Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard
Chalmers hasnt been scoring well the last two
games. That needs to change tonight. Kansas needs
a big performance from its guards to ofset the
dominance of Michael Beasley.
Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard
Rush has been shooting the
ball as well as he ever has
in his career. His matchup
against Bill Walker will be fun
to watch. Walker can drive
better than Rush, but Rush is
the superior shooter.

Darnell Jackson, 6-
foot-8 senior forward
The dream season
continues for Jackson. He is
everything the Jayhawks need in
terms of scoring, rebounding and
leadership. Jackson faces a daunt-
ing task if he has to go against Beasley.

Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9
sophomore forward
This could be a big game for
Arthur. He has the opportunity
to do well against one of the
best players in the country.
Arthur can establish himself
as a premier big man with a
good game.
The SixTh Man
Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 sophomore
guard
Collins could be the X-factor in this game. If he
does well of the bench, like he did last year in Man-
hattan, the Jayhawks will fnd it much easier to win.
This is the biggest game of the
regular season for the Jayhawks.
Kansas State is the best team
the Jayhawks have played so far.
Michael Beasley is by far the best
player. The Wildcats will be hungry
to win because they havent beat
Kansas in the last 24 years in Man-
hattan. The Jayhawks will need to
play at least as good as, if not bet-
ter than, they have been the past
few games to win this one.
Darrell Arthur has been scoring
lately, averaging 17 points a game
in the last two
KU victories.
He should be
pumped up to
play against his
friend, Michael
Beasley, and
have another
good game. Its
time for Arthur
to show the college basketball
world how good he can be.
Who is going to guard Bea-
sley?
Bill Self will defnitely have to
switch his guys around to do the
best job defending Beasley. The
Jayhawks took this approach when
guarding Kevin Durant last year.
Arthur will probably defend him
most of the time though. He is
the longest and most athletic of
the players in the KU frontcourt.
Although Brandon Rush is Kansas
best defender, dont expect him
to guard Beasley. Self said hes too
small.
Yeah theres a lot of compari-
sons. Theyre both really good. I
thought we would never see a
freshman dominate college bas-
ketball like Durant did, evidenced
by him winning national player of
the year as a freshman. Michael
Beasley has that same opportunity
in front of him if he fnishes the
season strong.
Kansas coach Bill Self

Its harder to coach great play-
ers sometimes than it is to coach
good players because getting a
great player to go from here to
here is harder than getting a good
player to go from here to here.
So thats common amongst all
coaches. What theyve done, is
they got their best players playing
better.
Self on the job K-State coach
Frank Martin has done so far

The streak continues. The 24-game winning streak in Manhattan
by the Jayhawks is ridiculous. Insane. Its almost unimaginable that
a team could win that many games in a row on a rivals home court.
This is the Wildcats best opportunity for a victory in a long time.
They might not get this good of an opportunity for a while, so if
they lose, it will really hurt.
Phog aLLen wiLL roLL over
in hiS grave iF...
Beasley scores 50. And yes it is possible, very possible. Beasley
is putting up his numbers in less than 30 minutes a game. He can
score 30 in 20 minutes. If he plays the full 40 minutes tonight, who
knows how much damage he will do. Kansas probably wouldnt
win if Beasley scored 50 or more points, but if they can hold him to
something manageable, say 35 or less, the Jayhawks stand a much
better chance.
83-76 Kansas
Beasley will score 39 points, but it wont be enough. Kansas is too
deep, especially at the guard positions. This will be a tough game that the
Jayhawks will pull out with free throws down the stretch.

Witherspoon Meter
Will senior walk-on Brad Witherspoon get the opportunity to
play tonight? This meter tells all.
The ProjecTed STarTing Five
Blake young, 6-foot-2 senior guard
The Orlando, Fla., native has started all 18 games
for the Wildcats. Hell be counted on to contain Kansas
strong collection of guards
Clent Stewart, 6-foot-4 senior guard
It only seems like Stewart has been in college for 13
years. The senior started his season of slow, but hes
cracked the starting lineup and is averaging 7.6 points
per game.
Andre Gilbert, 6-foot-7 junior forward
Kansas fans will get their frst look at Gilbert, a trans-
fer from Mount San Jacinto College in San Jacinto,
Calif. Hes started 13 games, but hes sixth on the team
in minutes at 19.4 minutes per game.
Bill Walker, 6-foot-6 freshman forward
With Beasley getting all the hype, Walker has
put in a yeomans efort this season. The ver-
satile Walker should often go up against
Brandon Rush, a matchup that prob-
ably has NBA scouts salivating
Michael Beasley, 6-foot-10
freshman forward
What else can he do? He broke
the Big 12 rebounding record
with 24 boards in his frst game.
He scored 40 points against Win-
ston Salem State. Simply put, hes
a basketball genius.
The SixTh Man
Jacob Pullen, 6-foot-1 freshman
guard
Pullen had 30 turnovers in his frst
seven games. In his last seven games,
he has only seven turnovers.
