Valentines Day celebrations vary from parties
with friends to conventions to one-on-one time
Lawrence is for lovers of art, music, dancing
or whatever the heart may desire this holiday
BY JENNIFER TORLINE
jtorline@kansan.com
Love is in the air.
Tats because art galleries, performers,
and local businesses and organizations love
it when Valentines Day falls on a weekend.
Tose looking for love, a place to take a
valentine or just something to do are sure
to fnd their perfect match this year.
A hub for one-of-a-kind Valentines gifs,
the annual Van Go Mobile Arts Have a
Heart show features artwork by students
enrolled in the JAMS program. JAMS, Jobs
in the Arts Make Sense, pays at-risk teens
to create art. Jewelry, cards and glass plates
are among the types of artwork that will be
for sale. Most will cost less than $50 and all
proceeds will support the artists.
Its a good way to make a social contri-
bution and buy a great gif, Lynne Green,
executive director of the show, said.
Tere are also some V-Day events spe-
cifcally for singles, such as the Mix 93.3
Bitter Ball in the Power and Light District
in Kansas City, Mo.
Its all about a bunch of singles having
fun, said Jamie Harris, marketing director.
Te singles ofen get forgotten during this
holiday.
Movies showing this weekend ofer
something for singles and couples alike,
said Jon Ratzlaf, manager of the Hol-
lywood South Wind 12 Teatres at 3433
Iowa St.

Kelsey Huf and her boyfriend will
be spending Valentines Day with their
friends.
Fify of them.
Instead of taking the conventional route
of dinner and a movie, Huf, Aledo, Texas,
junior and her boyfriend, Kenny Hollo-
way, decided to continue
the tradition of throwing
a party on Valentines Day.
Tis is the third year the
bash will take place. Huf
said her freshman year they
all wore red, and last year,
they drank red drinks. She
said the get-together was a
way for all of her friends to
be included in the celebra-
tion.
We can all do something together,
Huf said. My single friends dont have to
sit around and watch TV.
Students continue to celebrate Valen-
tines Day in typical and nontraditional
ways.
Huf and Holloway have been together
for a year. She said they decided to ignore
the romantic side of the day and focus on
it being a fun holiday.
Tere certainly is pressure for it to be a
special day, Huf said. Maybe there is too
much pressure because there is always a
chance of being disappointed. It shouldnt
be taken so seriously.
Ryan Campbell, Olathe senior and ex-
ecutive director of Queers and Allies, will
be attending the Midwest Bisexual Lesbian
Gay Transgender Ally College Confer-
ence. He said his weekend would consist
of learning about the progress and issues
of the gay community during the last year
as well as how to strengthen Queers and
Allies at the University of Kansas. Camp-
bell said that although he
had always been single on
Valentines Day, the mean-
ing behind the day was
much broader than simple
romantic relationships.
It is a really good re-
minder to be thankful for
the people in your life,
Campbell said.
In past years, Campbell
has spent Valentines Day
enjoying the company of friends with a
bottle of red wine. Tis year will be difer-
ent. MBLGTACC will be hosting a dance
for all of the conference participants on
Saturday evening. Campbell said he was
looking forward to it.
Tere will defnitely be more shenani-
gans than in years past, Campbell said.

Chancellor Robert Hemenway
testifed before the Kansas Senate
Ways and Means Subcommittee
on Higher Education Wednesday
reagarding looming budget cuts
and their efect on the University.
Te University has already
implemented a round of cuts
totaling $4.6 million on the
Lawrence campus and $3.7
million at the University of Kansas
Medical Center, by trimming
funds for student jobs, laying of
11 employees, leaving 110 other
positions vacant and cutting the
learning community program.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius
proposed cuts for fscal year 2010
would remove an additional $10.8
million from the Lawrence campus
budget and $11 million from the
Med Center, which is more than
the yearly budget for the School of
Nursing.
Cuts of the magnitude proposed
in the governors budget ... would
undoubtedly harm our ability to
maintain the promise of a quality,
afordable education to our
students, Hemenway said in his
testimony.
Hemenway warned that cuts
above the 10 percent proposed
in the governors budget would
signifcantly harm students by

Rudys Pizzeria
704 Massachusetts St.
Medium Pocket Za....... $6.20
Type of food: Pizza
Overall star rating: 4 out of 5
Location: 704 Massachusetts St.
Signature dish: Pocket Za
(calzone), personal to large size
$4-8.95
Tastes like: Nothing before. Has
its own taste.
Price range: $5-20
What I ate: Monster slice of
cheese pizza, $2.80; Medium
Pocket Za, $6.20
Review: When it comes to
fnding a meal after a concert,
for a cheap date night, or even
with a gathering of friends, look
no further than Rudys Pizzeria.
It has the perfect environment
for college students, located in
what looks to be a basement.
I had never been to a locally
owned pizza place before. I had
always gone to national chains
such as Pizza Hut, Papa Johns
or Dominos. Rudys is inviting
when you frst walk in, with a
decorative fountain in the en-
tryway. Depending on the time
of day you go, the pizzeria can
jump from quiet and romantic,
to a bar and grill environment.
The service overall is fantastic.
Patrons go to the front of the
restaurant to order where they
are given a specifc playing card.
When the order is ready, the
waiter or waitress will bring it
straight to your table and take
the card with them. The pizza
had a fresh taste that you can-
not get from anywhere else. It
tasted like no pizza I had ever
had before. For a restaurant
with such delicious tasting
pizza, the price is very reason-
able. From its monster slices at
$2.80 and its sixteen-inch large
pizza at $12.60, to its numerous
specials running throughout
the week, Rudys is easily one
of the best deals in the area for
college students.

Campus mourns death
of Dean Brills husband
Larry J. Schmitz, husband of
Anne Brill, Dean of Journalism
and Mass Communications,
died early yesterday morning
at age 64 from complications
of lung disease. He received a
lung transplant in 1993, and was
the longest living recipient of a
lung transplant. Brill and Schmitz
celebrated their 16th wedding
anniversary
on New Years
Eve.
One of
Schmitz joys
in life was
his Catholic
faith. Before
marrying Brill,
he served as
a Franciscan
Capuchin Brother of the Detroit
Province for 30 years. After mov-
ing to Lawrence, Schmitz worked
at the Regional Alcohol and Drug
Addiction Counseling Services as
a social worker.
Schmitz believed helping
others would improve a persons
life, as well as the lives around
them. To honor his memory, Brill
will ofer an award to a journal-
ism student who shares Schmitz
desire to better the world.
Schmitz is survived by his wife,
three brothers, one sister and his
nieces and nephews. Contribu-
tions may be made in his name
and sent to KU Endowment for
the Schmitz Service Journalism
Award. A service will be held
10:30 Saturday morning, at St.
John the Evangelist Catholic
Church, located at 1234 Ken-
tucky St. A reception will follow
in the churchs basement.

necessitating more layofs, which
would result in larger class sizes
with fewer course oferings.
Some students say they would
be worried if the University had to
begin cutting student jobs.
Zack Camacho, Independence
senior, works at the Ambler Student
Recreation and Fitness Center and
said on-campus jobs provided
students an important opportunity
to work with an employer that
understands its employees
academic responsibility.
With on-campus jobs theyll
work with your schedule more, but
at the other ones they just want you
working, Camacho said.
Teri Chambers, graduate
secretary in the department of
economics and a senator on
University Support Staf Senate,
said if these cuts were approved
students on the Lawrence campus
should expect to see the efects
directly. She said she expected
a decline in the resources and
programs that were previously
available to students through
support staf and unclassifed
professional staf.
Staf is in charge of the little
things that seem insignifcant,
Chambers said. Te most
important people are the lowest
paid people on campus. Tere are
people out chipping ice of the
sidewalks that we dont notice until
we fall on our butts.
Te budget would be met at
the Med Center by eliminating
76 positions, 47 of which are
currently occupied. Twenty-nine
other positions would switch from
full to part time and 300 more
would transfer to other sources of
funding. In addition, there would
be a reduction of $2.3 million in
expenditures for new equipment,
maintenance and program
support.
Te proposed cuts would
jeopardize the expansion of
the School of Pharmacy as well
as projects associated with the
deferred maintenance campaign,
Hemenway said.
Jack Martin, deputy director
of University Communications,
said each department would be
responsible for determining where
cuts would be made.
Tey know their options best
so theyre the ones best equipped
to implement the cuts, Martin
said.
In his testimony to the Senate,
the chancellor emphasized the
Universitys commitment to
students as well as the importance
of higher education in equipping
the state with a solid workforce.
KU recognizes the need for
budget cuts during these difcult
economic times, Hemenway said.
But we must also recognize the
need for prudence and balance in
those cuts to ensure our states long-
term prosperity is not damaged by
cuts needed to close short-term
budget gaps.

glass Jayhawk statute from the
Legends Place Apartments, 4101
West 24th Place, said Jim Cross,
representative of the U.S. Attorney
in Kansas office. Vanlerbergs plea
agreement stipulates that he serve
no fewer than five years federal
incarceration and no more than
20. He also faces a maximum fine
of $250,000 and no more than
five years of supervised release
following incarceration. His sen-
tencing has been scheduled for
June 1.
Cross said Lawrence Police
officers responded to an explo-
sion outside Vanlerbergs apart-
ment in the early hours of Nov.
30, 2007. The explosion of the
mailbox also damaged three cars.
Officers later found 54 explosive
devices, components to make
more explosive devices and a
videotape of Vanlerberg blowing
up the fiberglass Jayhawk in his
residence, Cross said in a press
release. Vanlerberg was a KU stu-
dent at the time.
According to court records,
Vanlerberg was arrested on cam-
pus in September 2008. His origi-
nal indictment listed four counts
of illegal explosives use.
Vanlerberg is currently under
house arrest in Johnson County,
Cross said.

Concerned students should consider writing to their state
representatives to let them know how these cuts will afect
them. Teri Chambers, graduate secretary in the department of
economics, and a senator on University Support Staf Senate,
said students from western Kansas should be especially vocal.
Here we go to the University and work at the University,
but western Kansas representatives dont necessarily see
what the University does for them, Chambers said. Its those
students that need to let their senators know. They may be
from Garden or Liberal but theyre here getting an education
and that lack of services will afect their ability to get a good
education.

Day in the conventional man-
ner, with dinner and a movie. She
said they didnt focus on gifs but
instead focused on spending time
together.
I treat it exactly like my anni-
versary, Lewis said. Its a day to
celebrate togetherness.
Lewis said because her hus-
bands birthday was fve days afer
Valentines Day, last year, it posed a
problem with the couple spending
time together. She was upset when
her in-laws decided to spend Val-
entines Day weekend with them.
Tis year I was adamant about
no company, no chores, no bills,
nothing, Lewis said. Today is just
about the two of us enjoying each
other and having fun.
Te meaning and reasons why
people recognize the day vary from
person to person.
I think the romanticism of
Hollywood movies over the last
70 years has really driven people
to believe that life should be in-
credibly dramatic and romantic,
Campbell said. People expect that
in their lives.
Lewis said Feb. 14 was a day she
could be selfsh about spending
time with her husband.
Being on the female side of the
relationship, I feel like I can say
you have an obligation you have
to do this and he cant argue about
it. At the same time he does it will-
ingly, so I am not being a complete
jerk to him.

hether you love it
or hate it, whether
youre single,
dating, straight, gay, asexual or
somewhere in between, here
are 20 things NOT to do on
Valentines Day.
1. If youre in a relationship,
dont forget that V-Day is
tomorrow. For anyone who did,
Hallmark is located at 2329
Iowa theyre open until 8
p.m.
2. Do not attempt to go to the
residence of your unrequited
love and stand outside his or
her window holding a boombox
above your head playing In
Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel. Its
been done.
3. Do not give your
significant other a pen as a
gift. Even if you think its cool
that it writes upside down or
underwater or in outer space.
4. If you are attempting to
burn all of the leftover stuff
from your ex, make sure you
are in a well-ventilated area. We
suggest not burning anything
that cost more than $50. Unless
you were cheated on.
5. Do not plan a date that
revolves around video games,
even if it is the Nintendo Wii.
If you find yourself on a video-
game date, do not stay on it just
because you dont want to be
alone on Valentines Day.
6. Do not attempt to play a
musical instrument you have
no previous experience with in
front of someone else because
you think it might be romantic.
7. Find out whether
your valentine is allergic to
chocolate, because you could
wind up looking like an idiot or
in jail for manslaughter.
8. Just because its a movie
now does not mean that girls
really like hearing, Hes just
not that into you.
9. Dont let anyone convince
you to not use a condom
because its a special occasion.
10. If you really cant stand
your significant other, we
suggest waiting until Sunday to
break the news.
11. Do not attempt to find
out whether replacing sex with
chocolate actually works. After
25 bonbons, its time to stop.
12. If you go on date, do not
talk about how much you love
your mom or how much you
love Miley Cyrus.
13. Do not give your
significant other a coupon book
for Insert your name here
lovin.
14. Do not take 20 pictures
of your date and yourself and
then make a photo album on
Facebook that night. Enjoy
the evening. Do not attempt
to leave romantic wall posts
they are obnoxious, not
endearing.
15. Do not attempt to write a
love sonnet. Billy Shakespeare
said it all about 400 years
ago, and he will laugh at you
because yours will be bad.
16. If you really need advice
about your upcoming big date
or want to talk about how well
it went afterward, do not call
your only single friend.
17. If youre going to cook,
do not attempt to make
anything with a name you cant
pronounce.
18. Do not show up to your
date drunk. If you do get drunk,
do not drunk-dial your ex.
19. The fact that its V-Day
does not mean you get to hook
up, make out or just get it on
in public. Standard PDA rules
still apply. And remember, the
person who chose to ignore
number 15 could be around.
20. Do not text someone to
tell them Happy Valentines
Day. If you do, you are lame.

A
lot of people hate
Valentines Day, both
those who are single and
those who are part of a couple.
Anti-Valentines Day celebra-
tions seem to be on the rise, with
events, parties and even cards.
The reason seems clear enough:
When youre single, especially
recently so, theres nothing more
stomach-turning than watching
a parade of couples all staring
deeply into each others soul.
They read lines to each other
from romance novels while buy-
ing up a years supply of flow-
ers, chocolates and teddy bears
bigger than a flat-screen TV. All
this is for the purpose of making
their partner even more disgust-
ingly in love with them.
And for those in a couple
facing their first or 50th cel-
ebration with their significant
other, things can seem just as
ghastly. The pressure to shell
out an entire months worth of
beer money on one of the previ-
ously mentioned obnoxiously
large teddy bears can make
any relationship seem high-
maintenance. Even the plainest
of dates can involve a plethora of
expected presents, a nice dinner
out and a movie. But the expense
of the night isnt the hardest part
youre also expected to be
romantic.
On any given Saturday eve-
ning, one might feel a little
worn-down after a hard day at
work or a stressful week. But,
like it or not, on Valentines Day
were expected to shape up and
be a loving, romantic and pas-
sionate better half.
I understand all the objec-
tions, but I have a secret: I love
Valentines Day.
Valentines Day is what a
holiday should be; its a break
from normal, everyday life. Its a
celebration of someone you love.
Its the one day I can be mushy
with my boyfriend in public. I
can go out to a nice restaurant
with one hand holding his across
the table in a gooey show of
affection without the rest of the
restaurant gagging on their din-
ner because we are being just a
nauseatingly cute couple. Its just
expected. The people who dont
want to see it dont go to low-
lit, fancy Italian restaurants on
Valentines Day.
Its also the one day of the year
devoted to showing our love to
each other. Besides, romantic
dinners for the cash-lacking col-
lege couples usually amount to a
quick bite at a fast-food restau-
rant where romantic is not hav-
ing to hand-wash the silverware
afterwards.
The day does come with a
lot of high expectations and
a lot of disappointments, but
with the right person it can be
a wonderful memory. Singles
dont have to miss out on all
the hearts and flowers, either.
Growing up, Valentines Day
meant dinner out with my fam-
ily and cards from friends and
classmates. I celebrated with the
people I loved and cared about.
Valentines Day love doesnt have
to be about romantic love, just
about love. The holiday may be
largely commercial, but the peo-
ple in your life are real and true.
So take the excuse and celebrate
someone you care about.

Is it just me, or is White Owl
a little bit more reserved this
year?

My roommate burned
popcorn and hot frefghters
came to save us. Im going to
start burning popcorn more
often.

I came home after a hard days
work and found my roommate
watching Bufy the Vampire
Slayer. WTF, mate?

Recently my friends been
going around saying Gay
love, he watches soccer
constantly, and hes a liberal
Democrat. Am I supposed to
assume that hes gay? I dont
know. You be the judge.

To the roommates who found
the phone at the Union: Free
for All isnt the answer.

Someone just threw a
cigarette butt on the ground
right next to an ashtray. Come
on people, keep our campus
clean.

The most valuable thing Ive
learned in college so far: Dont
hook up with someone who
lives in the same dorm as you.
It makes for one hell of an
awkward elevator ride.

My roommates constant
2 a.m. booty calls are really
disrupting my beauty sleep.

To the girl in my HSES class:
I know what youre thinking
and Im thinking the exact
same thing.

To the sack of crap who
maliciously broke my car
mirror last night: You dropped
your keys and theyll be
returned as soon as you
pay for the damages. Im in
apartment C. Man up and
dont be a coward.

To the frat guy at Wescoe: Stop
crying about your Sperrys
getting wet. Theyre boat
shoes!

I wonder what it be like to
have sex while wearing a
Snuggie.

If anyone fnds a red spotted
tadpole fashlight keychain:
his name is Elmer, he lives in

To my philosophy professor:
Stop showing up seven
minutes late every day and
giving me hope that we will
have no class.

To the girl in my Italian class:
Be my Valentine? Signed,

during class.

COLLEGIATE
COUPLING
W
ith Valentines Day
coming up, I find
myself more inclined
to consider the possibility that
romance is in fact a dying art.
Technology seems to be killing
off, or replacing, all creativity and
thoughtfulness that used to be
associated with Valentines Day. It
has become acceptable to substi-
tute hand-written cards or valen-
tines with a simple text message
or e-mail, and its becoming quite
common to send party invites via
Facebook. I admit that technology
is more convenient and often less
expensive, but are we really willing
to give up romance to fit our busy
schedules?
In a world where technology
has become our No. 1 means of
communication, people are start-
ing to forget real social skills. I
find it hard to believe that couples
who met through an Internet
venue such as Facebook or
MySpace possess any real ability to
partake in a face-to-face conversa-
tion with each other successfully. I
cannot imagine the awkwardness
one would feel during the first
date in person, or the difficulty of
expressing ones self verbally after
hiding behind a computer screen.
Online dating gives a false impres-
sion of what the relationship scene
truly is like.
Furthermore, communication
with the opposite sex by way of
technology is just plain confusing,
especially early in a relationship.
It is hard to decipher the tone in
a text message or e-mail and dif-
ficult to distinguish a serious com-
ment from a sarcastic one. Texting
allows us to send brief, bland
messages that actually say nothing
at all, whereas at least in phone
conversations we can tell whether
people are sincere. Women in
general would much rather hear,
I love you than see it typed, I
luv u, in that ridiculous excuse for
the English language. I personally
would be more appreciative of a
handwritten note like the ones we
passed back and forth in middle
school than of a three-word text
or Facebook message. Hell, write it
in purple ink with little doodles all
over it, as long as it is made per-
sonal and shows that it took more
than three seconds of your time.
I would like to say optimisti-
cally that the decline of romantic
interaction is simply a generation
thing. But, sadly, our parents gen-
eration is partaking in this style of
communication, or lack thereof, as
well. I was horrified when I heard
one of my professors telling the
class about his plans to send his
wife an e-card for Valentines Day.
If that is all I have to look forward
to in 10 to 20 years, you can count
me out.
There is definitely a place in
todays world for technology
and it seems to be growing with
each passing day. I agree that it
is the fastest and most efficient
way to relay messages, but com-
munication with your loved ones
through technology is damaging
the intimacy or personal interac-
tion that should be present in
every relationship. Valentines
Day is supposed to be devoted to
celebrating our love for others.
Everybody likes to feel special and
appreciated every once in a while,
so at least for one day out of the
365, communicate without that
Blackberry messenger and make a
real effort to bring some romance
back into your life.

What (defnitely) not to
do this Valentines Day
Dont let the haters
ruin your V-Day love
FrOM COnneCTiCuT
Valentines Day has
me red in the face
John Bailey
The Daily Campus
U. Connecticut
I
hate Valentines Day. Can
you blame me? Depending
on your particular misan-
thropy, Valentines Day is either
a commercialized greeting card
nonevent, or a day to com-
memorate your eventual lonely,
unmourned death. Or, you just
have to eat those sawdust candy
hearts, which apparently no
longer speak proper English and,
instead, say things such as UR
COOL D8.
Valentines Day is such an
obvious load of buffalo feces. Its
just food, candy, hugs, smiles
and maybe some gross drink
made with grenadine. Its anoth-
er excuse to have some lame
party. Its a venue to show how
much you care, or at least how
many stuffed white Dachshunds
embroidered with I love you
THIS much, Valentine! youre
willing to pay for. I hate caring.
But it gets even worse if youre
single: You have to go to even
more parties. The last time I
was at a Valentines Day party,
everyone was eating snacks,
having drinks and talking! And
some girl tried to kiss me! No,
Im not kidding, thats actually
what she tried to do. Im allergic
to snacks! Im allergic to kisses!
This stupid crappy greeting card
holiday isnt just a crass celebra-
tion of pointless consumerism, it
causes me physical harm! Barf!
And dont get me started on
the chocolate. Can you think
of a worse thing to put in your
mouth? No, you cant, because
chocolate also shrinks your
brain. True fact: every time you
eat chocolate, your brain cells
actually wither away like salted
slugs.

Web site flls gossip void
BY RaCHel BURCHFIelD
rburchfeld@kansan.com
Afer advertisers pulled the juice
from JuicyCampus.com, all that was
lef for the controversial gossip Web
site to do was fzz out.
So it is out with JuicyCampus and
in with CollegeACB.com, where
JuicyCampus.com visitors will be
redirected if they try to visit the
Web site. Anonymous Confession
Board is the answer to JuicyCampus
regulars who still need to get their
fx.
Te Anonymous Confession
Board, or the ACB, is quickly be-
coming the central hub of college
campuses around the country, giving
students the freedom to voice their
opinions and ask questions about
any facet of college life, a press re-
lease on CollegeACB.com said. It is
the campus center, the dorm room,
the cafeteria, and the lecture hall, all
combined into a single, easily ac-
cessible forum where everyone is
invited to converse openly, without
fear of reprisal or reprimand.
Citing plummeting advertising
revenue and dissolving venture cap-
ital funding, JuicyCampus folded
on Feb. 5, despite its more than one
million visitors every month.
Mark Campbell, Leawood sopho-
more, said he used to visit JuicyCa-

would miss the Web site because of
the anonymity it brought. Camp-
bell used to look for posts about his
fraternity and said he would only
switch his loyalties to CollegeACB if
the Web site became well known.
If it gets popular Ill visit it, but if
no one knows about it then Im not
going to waste my time, Campbell
said.
Matt Ivester, founder and CEO of
JuicyCampus, said in a Feb. 4 press
release he hoped the Web site
which sparked its share of lawsuits
and, more commonly, hurt feelings
would be remembered fondly.
While there are parts of JuicyCa-
mpus that none of us will miss the
mean-spirited posts and personal
attacks it has also been a place for
the fun, lighthearted gossip of col-
lege life, Ivester said. I hope that is
how it is remembered.
CollegeACB, owned and oper-
ated by Peter Frank, a freshman at
Wesleyan University in Middleton,
Conn., ofers new features miss-
ing from JuicyCampus, including
a user-moderation button, where
any post deemed by any user to be
threatening, libelous or otherwise
illegal is immediately brought to the
webmasters attention.
Pam Botts, associate director of
the Universitys Counseling and Psy-
chological Services, said JuicyCam-
pus maliciousness seemed pointless
to begin with.
We always encourage people to
treat other people with respect, and
anything that interferes with that
is probably negative, Botts said.
It sounds like JuicyCampus was a
negative activity that served no use-
ful purpose.
Ivester said the JuicyCampus
faithful didnt have to worry about
having their identities exposed.
JuicyCampus will maintain the
same policy we have always en-
forced IP addresses will not be
released without a lawful subpoena,
Ivester said.

On obesity, panel chimes in
BY LAUREN HENDRICK
lhendrick@kansan.com
Remember the commercials
saying, This is your brain on
drugs? Cary Savage, associ-
ate professor of psychiatry and
behavioral sciences, asked an
audience at the KU Edwards
Campus Regnier Auditorium on
Wednesday night. Well, this is
your brain on food.
Savage, a researcher at the
Edwards campus, was one of
four guest panelists at the KU Life
Span Institutes biannual commu-
nity conversation, Considering
Obesity: Brain, Body, Behavior.
John Colombo, director of the
Life Span Institute, said there
were two goals for this years con-
versation.
One is to raise conscious-
ness about the issue of obesity,
Colombo said. And the second
goal is to make the community
aware that there is research going
on.
Savage is one of these research-
ers. He uses magnetic resonance
images, commonly called MRIs,
to look at how a persons brain
reacts to various pictures, called
cues, before and after they start
a diet.
He uses photographs of appe-
tizing foods, such as brownies,
and unappetizing foods, such
as live animals, to monitor brain
activity in response to the pho-
tographs. Savage said cues could
be pictures of any addictive sub-
stance, like drugs and alcohol,
depending on the study.
Most diets are proven suc-
cessful, but only a minority of
people are able to keep the weight
off, Savage said. Savages previ-
ous studies have shown 70 to 90
percent of dieters are successful
in their programs, but 79 percent
usually gain the weight back.
According to the Oct. 2008 edi-
tion of the Journal of the American
Dietetic Association, young adults
in college are more likely to gain
weight than the rest of the gen-
eral population. It reported that
the average weight gain among
college students is four to nine
pounds during freshman year. Ann
Chapman, KU registered dietitian,
said she wasnt surprised.
Ive been here many years and
Im noticing an increase in obese
students, she said. Chapman
said she consulted with patients
throughout the week who were
concerned about their weight.
While most of her patients are
self-referred, she said a number of
them came in because of a doctors
request.
Obesity is characterized by a
body mass index of 30 and above.
A BMI is the measurement of body
fat based on height and weight.
People with BMIs of 25 and above
are considered overweight.
You have an increase for dis-
ease with a high BMI, Chapman
said. Its a huge issue on campus.
To avoid weight gain and obesity,
Chapman said developing healthy
eating habits was crucial, especial-
ly during the first year of college.
Chapman said college students
usually had a difficult time man-
aging their weight for a number
of reasons. She said boredom,
depression, anger and stress were
common emotions that triggered
eating.
Eating to soothe an emotion is
an automatic response, she said.
Chapman recommends that peo-
ple who eat based off of an emo-
tion replace foods for different,
healthier behaviors.
If youre a stress eater, thats
tough because youll have to come
up with alternative behaviors to
soothe stress, she said. She rec-
ommends taking a bath, watch-
ing a clip from a funny movie or
jumping rope for 30 minutes.
It cant just be exercise, she
said. It has to be more specific.
Savage said people use the lim-
bic system, a set of brain struc-
tures that determine behaviors and
emotions, to make health-related
decisions every day. Healthy eat-
ing and regular exercise are not
priorities for college students, and
strong emotions put them at a
high risk for rapid weight gain.
Marie Wilcox, St. Charles, Ill.,
freshman, said she thought a num-
ber of people were obese, but that
there were a number of resources
on campus for students to stay in
shape.
Wilcox lives in Corbin residence
hall. She said she exercised por-
tion control when she ate in the
GSP cafeteria and always walked
to campus.
Ive seen girls on my floor gain
the freshman 15, she said. Wilcox
said she didnt think the frequent
buses on campus were doing any-
one any favors.
The discussion Wednesday
evening also featured KU pro-
fessors Joseph Donnelly, Debra
Sullivan and Christie Befort, who
gave advice to students about
how to keep off the weight they
have successfully lost. Donnelly
directs the Center for Physical
Activity, Nutrition and Weight
Management, which provides
clinical treatment aimed at help-
ing people keep weight off in the
long term.

StaYIng on tRaCk
Recommendations from Debra Sullivan, KU associate professor
of dietetics and nutrition & Christie Befort, assistant professor of
preventative medicine and public health
Set goals: Make specifc, measurable, achievable, realistic and
time-bound goals.
Monitor yourself: Document what you eat and how you exer-
cise. It increases awareness of what youre doing, Befort said.
Our memories of what we eat are fairly forgiving.
Make small changes: Eat healthier snacks, drink lots of water
and cut down on dining out.
Cut the fat: Fats have twice the amount of calories of carbohy-
drates.
Stick with your plan: It doesnt matter what weight loss strategy
you try, it matters if you stick with it, Sullivan said.

A tale of two minnesotans
T
here is no I in team, but
there is an I in iron and
golfers carry at least five of
them around in their bags.
Is that why golf is such an indi-
vidual sport? Most likely no, but
it makes me question why, at the
college level, golf is a team sport.
You dont see Tiger Woods out
on the course on Sundays, bend-
ing down next to Phil Mickelson,
telling him the green breaks left
to right.
Professional level golf is all
about the individual, but in college
its about the team.
Where does the team dynamic
come from, though? College golf-
ers still compete as individuals
during tournaments.
Mens golf coach Kit Grove said
that a lot of the team members
spend their downtime together
and that they all live fairly close
to one another. Grove also said
the team chemistry is at the best
level hes seen since hes been at
Kansas.
Senior Walt Koelbel said team
practices help to build the team
mentality because the golfers will
be out on the course for four or
five hours just talking and trying
to help each other improve.
If I see someone doing some-
thing thats maybe not technically
right with their chip, I try to help
them out, Koelbel said.
In that respect, maybe the golf
team is better off. Grove said his
practices were unlike most sports
teams practices and that could
be a good thing. When team-
mates have the time to stop and
help each other improve the fun-
damentals of their game, it can
only benefit the groups results.
In football, there are designated
coaches for each position to tell
players what to do, but on the
golf team players can take that
role on whenever needed to help
their teammates.
Koelbel mirrored Groves state-
ment about the team bond and
said the team does hang out on
the weekend and watch golf. Now
they even have a former teammate
to cheer on in former Jayhawk
Gary Woodland.
Grove said the tournaments
also help the guys who travel grow
together. He said that they have
a lot of downtime, unlike other
athletic teams, and that helps the
team bond.
Still, no matter how great the
team chemistry is, the success
depends on individual perfor-
mance.
If you play well, everything
takes care of itself, Grove said.
Maybe Im making much ado
about nothing on the issue of
team chemistry. You play to win
the game? Either way, the golf
team makes itself better every
day in practice. With a month off
before their next tournament, the
competition between teammates
out at practice should boost the
performance of the players when
they make their way down to
LaFayette, La., for the Louisiana
Classics.

Freshmen keep amateur
statuses to refne skills
By JOSh BOWe
jbowe@kansan.com
For countless nights, Zac Elgie
stayed up with his mom and dad,
discussing where he would start
his future after high school.
Either take the offer to start a
major league career, or take some
more time to refine his game in
the college ranks.
I finally came to the decision
to go to college and get some
more experi-
ence under
your belt,
Elgie said. I
dont neces-
sarily think
I was quite
ready yet for
Major League
Baseball.
Elgie was taken in the 12th
round by the Oakland Athletics,
but the freshman catcher wasnt the
only one faced with that decision.
Freshman pitcher Lee Ridenhour
was drafted in the 31st round by
the Minnesota Twins. Both share
similar reasons for choosing col-
lege first, and coach Ritch Price
is ecstatic by
both of their
decisions.
Zac Elgie is
a tremendous
talent, Price
said. He had
a really bad
fall, but hes
made great
strides in the last month. The ball
jumps off his barrel.
Price was quick to mention the
potential of Ridenhour as well.
Ridenhour probably has the
best arm of any freshman thats
ever walked on this campus since
Ive been here, Price said.
Ridenhour shared similar rea-
sons as Elgie for choosing to keep
his amateur status. The huge tran-
sition from high school to living

Cole Aldrich noticed two things when
he found his seat on an airplane headed
to Kansas City from Minneapolis after
winter break.
First, he realized it was on an exit row.
Then, he saw an unlikely companion sit-
ting in the seat next to his. It was Kansas
State forward Darren Kent.
Oh, jeez, Aldrich, a sophomore center,
said. Ive got to sit next to another K-State
guy?
Kent laughed before offering a retort.
Oh, Kent said, Ive got to sit next to a
Kansas guy?
Aldrich said they spent the flight jok-
ing with each other and occasionally trash
talking. It was all in good fun, of course.
Aldrich and Kents rivalry always has been.
The two competed in the same con-
ference in high school. Aldrich played
for Jefferson in Bloomington, Minn., and
Kent for Eastview in Apple Valley, Minn.
both cities are southern suburbs of
Minneapolis.
Aldrich said their schools played against
each other four times when they both
were in high school, and he thought they
each won twice. Since coming to Kansas,
Aldrich and Kent have faced each other
three times. Aldrichs Jayhawks have won
twice. Kents Wildcats have won once.
Aldrich and Kent will square off again
during Saturdays game between Kansas
and Kansas State at 2:30 p.m. at Bramlage
Coliseum.
Ive played against him since my fresh-
man year of high school so its just a fun
way to see another Minnesota guy I played
with, Aldrich said. Its good to see him
doing well at another school.
Kent and Aldrich have both excelled
this season and played major roles in their
teams successes.
Aldrich has started in every game for
the Jayhawks (19-5, 8-1). Hes one of only
two players in the Big 12 Conference
the other is Oklahomas Blake Griffin
averaging a double-double with 14 points
and 10 rebounds.
Kansas coach Bill Self s only complaint
with Aldrich is that he doesnt get the ball
enough. And thats not even Aldrichs fault.
Self blames it on the guards for not passing
into the post.
A key to the game
Saturday will be the
Jayhawks ability to find
Aldrich who will wear a
new facemask Saturday to pro-
tect his broken nose posting
up on Wildcats like Kent.
I think our big guys can
certainly do a better job of
making themselves available,
Self said. But Cole, for the most
part, does a good job of that. Hes a
big target and hes hard to guard.
Kents emergence has coincided
with Kansas States five-game win-
ning streak. The 6-foot-10 junior
struggled when the Wildcats (17-7,
6-4) lost 87-71 at Allen Fieldhouse a
month ago with only three points and
two rebounds in nine minutes.
Since then, Kent has scored at least
10 points in all but two games. Hes also
averaging six rebounds.
Kents turnaround does not surprise
Aldrich.
Not at all, Aldrich said. I knew from
last years season when he played well at
the end of the stretch, when we played
them and going into this year, I knew he
was going to play well.
Aldrich will likely be forced to guard
Kent at times during Saturdays game.
Aldrich said that presented a challenge
because Kent is smaller and has three-
point range.
Hes one of those where you have to
get back in transition to find where he is,
Aldrich said. And on pick-and-pops, you
have to know where he is.
If not, Aldrich might hear about it on
the next flight back from Minnesota.
Consistency needed to win
By JAySOn JenKS
jjenks@kansan.com
On the eve of Kansas 74-66
loss at Texas on Wednesday, coach
Bonnie Henrickson looked at junior
guard Sade Morris during a team
meeting and, with every intention
of stirring a reaction, called out
Morris less-than-impressive per-
formance on Saturday.
I said listen, when Danielle
(McCray) went out, you never took
a shot, Henrickson said. You
passed up shots and you werent
aggressive. I looked at her and said
youve got to go.
Go she did.
In response to Henricksons
prying, Morris scored 14 points,
grabbed six rebounds and added
five assists against Texas. And she
did so mostly without the contri-
butions of junior forward Danielle
Aldrich to play against

Mike Slive, chairman of the
NCAA Tournament selection
committee, announced Tuesday
that the state of the economy
would not change the landscape
of the NCAA Tournament.
Slive said teams would not be
geographically placed closer to
home to make it financially easier
for fans to travel. This could be
bad news for Kansas.
The Sprint Center in Kansas
City, Mo., is one of eight loca-
tions hosting first and second
round tournament play. Playing
less than an hour away from
Lawrence would be an obvious
advantage for the Jayhawks.
Slives announcement means
it wont be any easier for Kansas
to be assigned to play in Kansas
City. Kansas coach Bill Self never
thought about it to begin with.
Were not mature enough to
be thinking like that, Self said.
Thats not something weve ever
even remotely discussed with our
team is where regional or sub-
regional sites are.
In other words, Self left it to
the Morning Brew to do the hon-
ors. Here are the eight first round
sites: Kansas City; Minneapolis;
Dayton, Ohio; Philadelphia;
Greensboro, N.C.; Miami; Boise,
Idaho; and Portland, Ore.
Barring an epic collapse,
Kansas (19-5, 8-1) will be in the
65-team field. Depending on who
you ask, the Jayhawks are some-
where in the range of a three to
six seed right now.
Only top four seeds get geo-
graphical consideration. But its
usually only the top two that are
rewarded meaning as of right
now, the Jayhawks playing at the
Sprint Center is a long shot.
ESPN.coms bracketology,
compiled by expert Joe Lunardi,
projects Kansas as a No. 3 seed in
Boise at the moment. What does
Self think about that? Doesnt
care, of course.
Theres a reason why its
done, Self said. But I think all
coaches would tell you its pretty
ridiculous that bracketology is
coming out in December.
Its done because its fun for
fans to speculate where their
favorite teams will wind up.
Its done because the NCAA
Tournament is one of the most
anticipated sporting events of
the year.
For those reasons, lets contem-
plate how Kansas could defy the
odds and land an hour up I-70
come mid-March. The Jayhawks
need to lose no more than two
more games in the regular season
and cap off their season with the
Big 12 Conference tournament
title.
If they do that, a No. 2 seed
looks in reach. If they do that,
Slives announcement will have
no effect on them.
JACKSON BACK
WITH CAVALIERS
That was fast.
The Cleveland Cavaliers sent
former Jayhawk Darnell Jackson
down to the Erie Bayhawks of
the NBA Development League
Monday. Jackson played in one
game a 102-89 victory against
the Utah Flash and scored a
game-high 26 points with six
rebounds. Then, the Cavaliers
called him back.
They sent me down there
to get some work in, Jackson
told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Basically, its the same system
down there. It was fun to get in
the rotation with those guys and
get some contact.

Two ofensive coaches
receive job promotions
Ofensive coordinator and
quarterbacks coach Ed Warin-
ner and tight ends coach and
recruiting coordinator Bran-
don Blaney
received pro-
motions on
coach Mark
Manginos
staf yester-
day.
Warinner,
entering his
ffth season
at Kansas, will now also be the
teams associate head coach.
Blaney, who enters his eighth
season at Kansas and 10th with
Mangino, will now also be assis-
tant ofensive line coach.
Ed and Brandon are very
deserving of these promotions,
Mangino said in a prepared state-
ment. They will continue to have
a positive impact on our ofense
with their expanded responsibili-
ties.
Warinner ofensive line coach
and run-game coordinator from
2003-04 returned to Kansas
to serve at his current position in
2007 after having spent 2005-06
with Illinois as ofensive line coach
and run-game coordinator. Under
his tutelage, the 2007 Jayhawk of-
fense fnished second in the NCAA
in scoring with 42.77 points per
game and eighth in total ofense
with 479.77 yards per game. Last
season Kansas was eighth nation-
ally in passing with 305.62 yards
per game and fnished in the top
25 in total ofense and scoring.
Blaney joins John Reagan in
coaching Kansas ofensive line.
His previous
distinctions
with the Jay-
hawks include
helping turn in
what analysts
call the teams
best recruiting
class this year
and watching
former tight
end Derek Fine being drafted by
the Bufalo Bills in the fourth round
of the 2008 National Football
League draft.

NATIONAL
Shotgun misfre explanation not accepted by family
By sHelIa ByrD
Associated Press
LUCEDALE, Miss. The fam-
ily of star Mississippi high school
football player Billey Joe Johnson
isnt done pressing for an explana-
tion of how the 17-year-old acci-
dentally shot and killed himself
with his own shotgun during a
traffic stop, as a grand jury has
concluded.
I aint buying that, said his
mother, Annette Johnson, after
the 16-member grand jury ruled
Thursday. We are going further
and we are going higher.
Her pursuit is joined by her
attorney, who plans to continue
his own investigation, and the
local chapter of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, which said it
would submit evidence to the U.S.
Justice Department and ask for a
federal probe.
Johnson, a junior at southern
Mississippis George County High
School, died of a wound to the left
side of his head on Dec. 8 after a
deputy pulled him over for run-
ning a red light. After an initial
investigation, authorities said the
wound was self-inflicted.
The grand jury, after listen-
ing to 30 witnesses and looking
at forensic evidence for weeks,
concurred, saying the teen acci-
dentally shot himself. The report
said no evidence, including DNA,
indicated the deputy who pulled
Johnson over had fired the shot-
gun and that no other people were
involved in the shooting.
The grand jury finds ... that
Deputy Joe Sullivan was in his
patrol car at the time of Billey Joe
Johnson Jr.s death, the ruling
said.
The mystery surrounding the
death has inflamed suspicion,
with Johnsons family and the
NAACP rejecting any notion that
the black teen committed suicide.
They said the talented running
back, once clocked at 4.3 seconds
in the 40-yard dash, had too much
to live for, including a chance at
playing in college and maybe the
NFL.
Johnson family attorney Jerome
Carter said he was glad the grand
jury did not rule the teen commit-
ted suicide but still had concerns
that make his own investigation
necessary.

the minors was a task he was not
ready to take on.
I have never lived on my own
before, and I havent gone through
many life experiences, Ridenhour
said. Plus I feel really comfortable
with the coaches and the school,
its just a really good fit for me.
With an extremely young team,
which includes 13 freshmen, both
Elgie and Ridenhour expect to be
thrown into the
mix fairly quickly
and to contribute
to the team early
on. But neither
feels any added
pressure to per-
form well.
Its a whole
different level
of baseball than
where I was play-
ing up in North Dakota, Elgie
said. Im starting to feel more
comfortable, weve been working
on some little mechanical things
with my swing, I feel a lot more
confident than when I started.
With Prices earlier praise of
Ridenhour, it would be easy to
assume that the former Gatorade
Kansas Player of the Year would
feel the need to produce early
and often. Especially since Kansas
rotation was devastated from
graduation last year, with only two
proven starters returning.
But Ridenhour already under-
stands his role, and wont try to do
too much.
Obviously I want to grow as
well as I can, get as many wins
for us as I can, Ridenhour said.
I want to hopefully be successful
and with the team around me I
think I have a pretty good shot.
Another similarity between
these two diaper dandies is their
expected shuffle of positions. Price
said that Ridenhour will open up
the season next week against Air
Force as a pitcher. One of the
harder throwing freshman Price
has encountered, Price raved on
about Ridenhours ability to reach
the low 90s on his fastball and his
effective slider.
Elgie however will rotate posi-
tions more often than Ridenhour.
His natural position is first base,
but he also expects to see some
time behind the plate.
Senior first baseman Preston
Land is currently holding the
starting spot, but Price alluded to
Elgie snagging most of the playing
time if Land continues with last
seasons struggles.
Hes going to pressure Preston
to play at a high level and if he
(Land) doesnt hes going to play
early as a freshman. Price said. I
see him (Elgie) catching a little bit,
playing DH a lot, and also playing
first base.
Price also said he wanted to
develop Elgie as a catcher because
thats where he is expected to be in
the major leagues. But before Elgie
can become a full-time catcher he
has to refine his defense.
He doesnt block the ball very
well yet so thats the area that
were trying to improve his game
defensively, Price said. He has all
the tools.
Elgie doesnt
seem to mind
the flip-flopping
of positions; he
expressed a team-
first mentality when
discussing where he
would play this sea-
son.
Ive played
around and played
different positions, Elgie said.
Just wherever I can be more
comfortable is where Ill be more
successful.
Kansas needs these two players
to show their big league potential
if the Jayhawks want to compete
in a Big 12 Conference, which
includes top five teams Texas and
Texas A&M. A two-week gauntlet
to start the season includes games
against both teams. Price expects
these freshmen to not act like
freshmen after playing in these
environments.
I think that when we walk into
A&M that first time and theres
7,000 people in that triple deck
stadium my freshmen are going
to be in awe, Price said. Also you
rise to that level of play because
you havent seen anything like it
your entire career.
Editedby SamSpeer
freshmen (continued from 1B) morris
(continued from 1B)
McCray, who was forced to the
sideline because of foul trouble.
A vastly similar situation unfold-
ed last Saturday against Missouri,
when fouls again relegated McCray
to the sideline for segments of the
game. In that game, which Kansas
lost 74-60, Morris scored just three
points and missed all four of her
attempts.
When Danielles not in, whos
going to be that person to step up?
junior guard LaChelda Jacobs said.
And I think Sade really did that on
Wednesday.
If Kansas wants to compete
with No. 2 Oklahoma tomorrow,
though, Henricksons team will
need all-around performances
from McCray, Morris and the rest
of the Jayhawks.
More so than any team Kansas
has faced this season, Oklahoma
is a supremely talented squad that
has played and defeated some
of the best teams in the country.
Were going to need our starting
five, our bench, everyone, Jacobs
said.
Throughout the conference sea-
son, Henrickson has continuously
stressed the need for balanced
scoring.
In games Kansas has experi-
enced success, multiple players
have made significant contribu-
tions. In games theyve struggled,
though, the Jayhawks have relied
heavily on one or two scorers.
Against Texas, Morris and soph-
omore forward Nicollette Smith
paced Kansas on offense. The duo
combined for 30 points and made
big shots to keep the score close in
the second half.
Well, I think (Sade) took
it upon herself and held herself
accountable, Jacobs said. And I
think Nic also did that. They took
it upon themselves to do that for
our team.
Yet, as impressive as Kansas sec-
ond-half effort against Texas was,
Kansas cant let that serve as their
highlight. Sure, Morris and Smith
played well down the stretch.
But against a team as talented as
Oklahoma, playing one good half
is not enough.
All of Kansas pieces must play
consistently well for the entire game
to compete against Oklahoma. And
the Jayhawks know theyre in for a
challenge against the Sooners on
Saturday.
Time to battle again, we gotta
find a way, Henrickson said. Well
compete, play our tails off, try to
hang in there and find a way to win
at the end.

Kansas vs. Air Force
Feb. 20
Millington USA Stadium
Millington, Tenn.
1:00 p.m. CT
When/Where ...
Tipof scheduled for 7 p.m.
Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
The game is also being broad-
casted by MetroSports.
Who to watch for ...
Senior center Courtney
Paris. While its apparent Paris is
having a down year, averag-
ing nearly 16 points and 14
rebounds a game, it speaks
volumes about her previous
seasons. A three-time consen-
sus All-American, Paris is as
real as it gets. However, in last
years meeting Kansas was able
to hold Paris to just 10 points
and 13 rebounds. Employing
a Hack-a-Shaq type approach
may be efective. Paris shoots
just 51 percent from the free
throw line, 10 percent worse
than her feld goal average.
What to expect ...
Very few second chances. The
Sooners hold a 11.2 advantage
in rebounding for the season
so far, and the Paris sisters ac-
count for most of that. Kansas
will have to shoot well.
Why Kansas will win ...
OK, stay with me. Oklahoma is
without question the second
best team in the country. But
Kansas was able to hang with
Texas on the road Wednesday.
Sophomore Nicolette Smiths
jumper may have returned,
and a three-point barrage
will keep the game close at
halftime. If the Jayhawks can
keep it close for 30 minutes,
they might be able to run a
halfcourt ofense and sneak
out a win.
How the game is important ...
Simply, if Kansas beats
Oklahoma, they are back in
the tournament picture. But
rationally, Kansas just needs to
establish consistent play.
Magic number ...
9 Turnovers by Danielle
Robinson in last years game
against the Jayhawks. She aver-
ages more than four a game
this year. If the Kansas perim-
eter defense can get some
steals and easy buckets on the
fast break, they will stay with
Oklahoma until the very end.

Obviously I want to
grow as well as I can,
get as many wins for

Long-shot drivers qualify for Daytona
By JENNA FRyER
Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch both
celebrated in Victory Lane, far
away from the real winners of the
Daytona 500 qualifying races.
Jeremy Mayfield choked back
emotion. AJ Allmendinger hid his
tears behind sunglasses. Scott Riggs
felt as if hed just won NASCARs
biggest race.
None of them are a threat to win
the Daytona 500, but at least theyll
be in the show.
Allmendinger, Mayfield, Riggs
and Regan Smith earned spots
in the season-opening race in
Thursdays Gatorade Duels.
It feels absolutely awesome. Its
like we just won the race, said
Riggs, who finished eighth in the
first qualifier.
None of the four drivers had
rides a month ago, piecing together
any opportunity they could to get
them to Daytona International
Speedway. Allmendinger was let go
from Red Bull Racing late last year,
and is clinging to an eight-race deal
with Richard Petty Motorsports.
Riggs became unemployed when
Tony Stewart took control of his
race team and revamped the driver
lineup.
Smith was a casualty of the
merger between Dale Earnhardt
Inc. and Chip Ganassi Racing,
while Mayfield has been out of
full-time work since Ray Evernham
fired him midway through the 2006
season.
Allmendinger, who failed
to make the 500 in his first two
NASCAR seasons with Red Bull,
will finally be able to rest after a
stressful buildup to the qualifying
races.
Ive been so nervous over the
last couple days cause Ive been
in this position the last two years,
Allmendinger said. But I really felt
like this year I deserved to be in the
race, that this team deserved to be
in the race.
Mayfield has felt the same way,
watching from the sidelines as
NASCAR roared on without him.
With no ride lined up, Mayfield
at the last minute threw his own
team together for one last try. Hes
got a mismatched group of volun-
teers, and after loaned-out jackman
Kyle Roland was injured while pit-
ting Kirk Shelmerdines car during
the first qualifying race, Mayfield
borrowed an emergency replace-
ment from Michael Waltrips crew.
Man, 23 days ago we didnt even
have a race team, Mayfield said
after finishing ninth in the second
qualifier. Its a very unbelievable
feeling. To know where we were
at then, how much hard work has
been done in such a short amount
of time is just unbelievable. To
come here and do this, its like win-
ning 10 races.
The 39-year-old journeyman
is throwing everything into this
effort. After racing just 25 times
over the past two years, and failing
to draw much interest when rides
became available, starting his own
team became the last option in
continuing his career.

For his 20th birthday, sprinter
Keron Toussaint would love to get
a victory at one of
the toughest track
meets in the coun-
try. Im going to
win both of them,
Toussaint said
about competing
in the 400-meter
dash and 4x400
relay.
Toussaint, Law-
rence sophomore,
and some of the
Kansas track and
feld team will head down to Fay-
etteville, Ark., for the Tyson Invi-
tational, while other members will
travel to Ames, Iowa, for the Iowa
State Classic.
Te team is split up with most of
the sprinters heading to Arkansas
while the mid-distance and long-
distance runners go to Iowa State.
Te surface at Arkansas, most
people will get a faster time, coach
Stanley Redwine explained. Te
majority of the middle-distance
and distance runners will go to
Iowa State because
its an oversized
300 meter track
and its closer to
running like out-
door (season) so
theyll produce
faster times.
Te Tyson Invi-
tational is not just
a college meet; it
will also feature professional and
Olympic track athletes in the invi-
tational events.
One Jayhawk will have the op-
portunity to compete with some
of the best. Senior sprinter Nicke-
sha Anderson will compete in the
womens open 200-meter dash.
Were really excited to see her
compete against some of the best
in the country, sprints coach El-
isha Brewer said about Anderson.
Senior sprinter Victoria Howard
believes this meet is
a good experience
going into the Big 12
Conference Cham-
pionships.
It will be good
competition, so well
be used to it and we
wont be scared and
hopefully we go out
and compete with
the best of them,
Howard said. How-
ard will be com-
peting in the 200-meter and the
60-meter dash.
Te womens 4x400 relay has
been successful for the past two
meets, taking frst place at the Adi-
das Classic in Lincoln, Neb. Tis
weekend, the four-person squad
will have senior ShaRay Butler
back afer she missed last week-
ends meet.
Butler, who has run on the Ar-
kansas track in the past, says it can
be tricky the frst time.
If you havent run on it before,
it can be challenging
just to get adjusted
to how high it is
and coming down
and going up on the
bank, Butler said.
Butler, who is
also running in the
400-meter dash,
said she was looking
forward to coming
back and moving up
on the Big 12 list of top sprinters
in the 400-meter.
In the distance events, senior
Colby Wissel will attempt to break
the school record in the 5,000 me-
ter run at the Tyson Invitational.
Last weekend, Wissel provision-
ally qualifed in the one-mile at
the Husker Invitational.
On the feld, junior Jordan
Scott is looking to bounce back
in the Pole Vault. Scott said hes
been working on technical adjust-
ments to be able to jump 18 feet.
Last time in Arkansas, Scott got a
provisional jump of 5.40 meters
(17 feet 8 inches.).
In the triple jump, freshman
Corey Fuller got a personal best
in New York of 49 feet 7 inches.
Fuller said he was happy with his
performance and is looking to get
a jump of 51 feet 6 inches in Ar-
kansas.
IOwA StAtE ClASSIC
Afer fnishing third in the
womens 3,000 meter, sophomore
Amanda Miller will take on the
5,000-meter run in Ames, Iowa,
along with freshman Rebeka Stowe
and senior Hayley Harbert.
Senior Patrick McGowan and
junior Bret Imgrund look to repeat
the success they had in the mile at
the New Balance Invitational by
taking on the mens 3,000-meter
run.
Im not quite where I want to
be at the end of the season, but
were making strides in the right
direction, McGowan said.
In the middle distance, senior
Corey Mims will be competing in
the 600-meter along with junior
Jacob Breth and sophomore Anna
Barber.
This weekend the team is look-
ing to show the world who Kansas
Track and Field is and freshman
Keith Hayes believes that they are
ready to do it.
The work you put in, it comes
out on the track, Hayes said.
Whether you run for Nike or
Butler County Community Col-
lege. Its all going to show no
matter what.

No. 25 Kansas (2-2) looks to
keep the upsets rolling, facing No.
12 Tennessee Saturday in Orlando
during the UCF Invite.
In a fve-game, three-day stretch,
the Jayhawks play
South Carolina
and Western Car-
olina on Friday,
Bradley and No.
12 Tennessee on
Saturday and fn-
ish the tourna-
ment with a game
against Bowling
Green on Sunday.
Te team
proved it can win big
games last weekend in Tuscon,
Ariz., notching both of its victo-
ries against ranked opponents,
No. 10 Arizona and No. 11 North-
western. Te No. 12 Lady Volun-
teers have a 4-1 record, sufering
their only loss to then-No. 15, now
No. 7 Washington, in a 2-1 upset.
Kansas is hoping to continue the
trend of upset victories and have
a prime opportunity to gain some
ground in the rankings. To do so,
the Jayhawks will have to play just
like they did against Arizona and
Northwestern, getting it done of-
fensively while shutting out their
opponents from the circle in
clutch situations.
Ofensively, Kan-
sas hopes that these
are the kind of teams
that show up at the
UCF Invite and not
the ones felding
their losses to UTEP
and No. 8 Stanford.
In the two games
combined, the Jay-
hawks went 4 for 38
at the plate with one
RBI, striking out 20 times and
walking only once.
Jayhawk hitters lef nine on the
base paths on their way to being
outscored 14-1. Te bright spot in
the losses was the defense, com-
mitting only two errors while to-
taling 15 assists on 36 putouts.
Kansas has had a few nice days
this week to practice and hopes
to improve its standing in rank
and record this weekend. Te Jay-
hawks stepped up and played big
in pivotal games, and now theyre
ranked. In order to stay that way,
every game is crucial. With a
newfound confdence, and some
much-deserved national recogni-
tion, the Jayhawks could have a
strong outing.

KANSAS
(19-5)
StArterS
Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 junior guard
the last two games Collins is only 8-for-25
from the feld with 21 points. If Collins cant
fnd his shot again against Kansas State,
Kansas is in trouble.
Tyshawn Taylor, 6-foot-3 freshman

guard
If Kansas would have beat Missouri,
taylor would have been hailed as the hero.
He scored a team-high 11 points, including
four during a key stretch near the end of the
second half.
Brady Morningstar, 6-foot-3

sophomore guard
Morningstar played poorly against Mis-
souri with two points and three turnovers
in 34 minutes. Morningstar, however, has
bounced back from rough games all year.
Marcus Morris, 6-foot-8 freshman

forward
Kansas States frontcourt is weak. Mor-
ris needs to take advantage by attacking
the basket and going up strong, instead of
tentatively.
Cole Aldrich, 6-foot-11

sophomore center
other than oklahomas Blake
Grifn, aldrich might be the most
devastating force in the Big
12. as long as Kansas can get him the ball, hes
unstoppable.

Kansas slaughtered Kansas
State 87-71 a month ago. So mark
Saturdays matchup down as an
easy win, right? Not even close.
aside from the obvious fact that
the rematch will be played at
Bramlage Coliseum, the game will
also be tougher because Kansas
State has improved dramatically.
Heck, its practically a diferent
team. the wildcats are on a fve-
game winning streak after starting
Big 12 Conference play 0-4. But as
long as junior guard Sherron Col-
lins and sophomore center Cole
aldrich play efectively, Kansas is
still the more talented team.
Senior forward Darren Kent
why watch the 6-foot-11 fence
post? Because hell be the most
entertaining player on the court.
Kent couldnt move your grand-
mother of the block, but he still
manages to
pour in 9.2
points and 5.9
rebounds per
game. His wing-
span surprises
opponents and
he hustles after
loose balls. But
the real reason
to watch him is
his spectacular failures. example:
In last years Sunfower Showdown
at Bramlage Coliseum, Kent fell
down twice, pushed his own
player to force a traveling viola-
tion and bounced a three-pointer
of the top of the backboard. what
will he come up with to top that?
Something snapped in the
wildcats on Jan. 24. on that day,
Kansas State pulled out a 77-75
overtime victory at Colorado. It
should have been an easy victory,
but the Bufaloes Dwight thorne
II scored a career-high 30 points to
push the wildcats to the brink. a
loss would have put Kansas State
at 0-5 in the Big 12. Instead, coach
Frank Martins bunch battled back
to win, and theyve won every
game since. Kansas State (6-4) is
playing some of the best basket-
ball of any Big 12 team right now.
Freshman forward Marcus
Morris
Self benched Marcus for the
fnal 17 minutes of the Missouri
game after the referee called him
for a techni-
cal foul. the
referee told Self
that Marcus
intentionally
bumped into
him. upon
watching the
game flm,
Self realized
the contact was inadvertent. Self
wont be looking to punish Marcus
any further. Look for Marcus to
start and log around his average
of 16 minutes. the question is if
he can make the most of them like
he did in Kansas last road game at
Baylor last week.
How many rebounds will Cole
Aldrich grab?
Basic, yes, but aldrich has
recorded 18 and 15 boards in Kan-
sas last two games, respectively.
those are ridiculous numbers.
aldrich is averaging a double-dou-
ble in Big 12 play with 12 points
and 11 rebounds. the wildcats
dont have a big man to match
up against aldrich, which means
his third big game in a row could
be on the horizon. He scored 15
points with eight rebounds in
Kansas frst game against Kansas
State.
Ive always thought the Mis-
souri game was more hatred and
the Kansas State game was more
of a rivalry, a respective rivalry,
maybe for a better word. thats
how Ive always viewed it since
Ive been here.
Kansas coach Bill Self
I was barely missed one year
over there. I think we had four or
fve thrown down there. Im sure
they were intended for somebody
else and just happened to land
by me.
Self on Kansas State fans throwing chickens

BRAMLAGE COLISEUM WILL BE SILENT
IF.
the fans start to leave the arena before the end of the game. that
would mean Kansas has a commanding lead with minutes to play
and its the only way the crowd will be quieted. Kansas State fans
look forward to this game all year. even if the wildcats fall behind,
there will be plenty of heckling of the Jayhawks.
PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS
GRAVE IF...
Kansas cant stop Denis Clemente. the junior guard from Puerto
Rico has cued Kansas States turnaround by averaging 17 points
and three assists per game in Big 12 Conference play. In an upset
against texas, Clemente tied a Big 12 record by scoring 44 points.
If Clemente the second-cousin of Major League Baseball Hall of
Famer Roberto Clemente gets into a rhythm, Kansas could lose
its second straight at Bramlage Coliseum.
Prediction:
KANSAS 71, KANSAS STATE 70
Kent
Will Bramlage get nearly as
hostile as last year?
Hate breeds in environments
like last years game in Manhattan.
theres always tension between
these two schools, but the 2008
brawl in Bramlage Coliseum
was an extreme example. It got
downright ugly in the stands and
occasionally on the court.
without Michael Beasley to
spur Kansas State it may not be so
hostile, but the wildcats are play-
ing well right now. the purple-
clad crowd needs to reenact last
years meeting in order to avenge
a 16-point loss at allen Fieldhouse
earlier this season.
Do you look forward to play a
Bill Self team? Not me, but you like
the challenge.

Clemente is a fery little rocket who can
speed past defenders if he gets the right

Kansas on Jan. 13 but hes been money
since then.
Jacob Pullen, 6-foot-0 sophomore

guard
the target for most of coach Frank

79 assists and also 75 turnovers. He hits
just 38 percent from the foor but still
averages 13.6 points per game.
Dominique Sutton, 6-foot-5

sophomore forward
Kansas, wake Forest and Illinois all
ofered Sutton a scholarship, but he
spurned them for Manhattan. Sutton
started to emerge at the end of last
season and hes performed ably this year,
notching 7.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per
game.
Darren Kent, 6-foot-11 senior for-

Kent was a complete non-factor in
Lawrence. He scored just three points and
committed two turnovers in nine min-

in the last three games.
