The temperatures are rising, the
sun is shining and the end of the
semester is nearly in sight. If youve
found yourself with restless behav-
ior in the classroom, with the urge
to clean the house or day dreaming
more than usual, youve probably
caught the bug: spring fever.
It should come as no surprise
that every year when the weather
starts to warm up students seem
less motivated and more relaxed.
Laura Shulkin, a junior from
Deerfield, Ill., said once it gets
warm, she finds herself torn
between going to class and opting
for a more fun option.
When its nice out I would rath-
er be hanging out with my friends
outside, playing some games,
maybe drinking a few beers along
with it, she said.
This newfound, stress-free life-
style is sometimes believed to
negatively affect overall attendance
and grades at the University.
However, Jason Barrett-Fox,
English and womens studies lec-
turer, said his students typically
respond positively to the nicer
weather.
I think students are more peppy
thanks to the sun, Barrett-Fox
said. Usually students seem to do
better in the spring. The sun seems
to help them.
Barrett-Fox also said he didnt
see more absences in the spring
but that it wasnt unusual for Friday
classes to be more empty.
Shane Schauf, a graduate teach-
ing assistant of philosophy, said his
attendance rate goes down in the
spring semester.
Especially if its been a hard
winter Im not surprised to see a
lack of motivation because people
have had cabin fever, he said.
Symptoms of the winter depres-
sion known as Seasonal Affective
Disorder drastically decrease with
the spring season, according to
www.generalmedicine.com. To
replace the feelings of excessive
sleepiness and a lack of energy,
the bodys secretion of melatonin
is lower in the spring when the
body is exposed to sunlight, which
causes more wakefulness.
If students are ditching the
c l a s s r o o m ,
chances are
theyre heading
to Massachusetts
Street among
other local hang
out spots.
S a r a h
Franklin, gen-
eral manager at
Jeffersons, 743
Massachusetts,
said the nice
weather brings people downtown,
which inevitably helps local busi-
nesses. Especially with the way
Lawrence has set up the business
district, the weather brings in more
people because they are walking
from place to place, Franklin said.
I think students tend to get a little
spring fever and theyre wanting to
get out there and enjoy the city.
Shulkin said she
supported Lawrence
businesses more fre-
quently in the spring
months.
I eat out a lot when
its nice out so I can
sit outside, she said.
I tend to walk down
Mass. Street once its
nice out and do a little
shopping.
When the snow
melts away and students feel more
active than they have in months,
its safe to say that spring has begun
and the fever has officially set in.

Election violations result in fnes, removal of candidates
BY ANNIE VANgSNES
anniev@kansan.com
Envision presidential candidate
Ross Ringer and vice presidential
candidate Devon Cantwell were
disqualified from the Student
Senate election and KUnited was
fined last week for election code
violations.
Elections Commissioner Jessica
Lewicki, a first-year law student
from Jackson Hole, Wyo., filed the
complaint against the Envision
coalition for not meeting the 5 p.m.
filing deadline March 22 to turn in
500 student signatures.
Ringer said he slid the signatures
under the office
door where the
drop box was a
couple of hours
after the dead-
line.
At 5 we had
the choice of
not turning in
enough signa-
tures or waiting
and getting all 500 and turning
them in to the office, Ringer said.
Lewicki said the hearing board
also questioned the validity of sig-
natures because some signatures
had been repeated multiple times,
photocopied or had other altera-
tions.
Ringer said he kept the original
signatures and turned in photocop-
ies to the commission as a precau-
tion in case the signatures were
lost. He said it might have been
possible to have repeated signatures
only because there were multiple
people out gathering them and the
coalition also collected more than
500 signatures in case there were
repeats.
Ringer said he and Cantwell
were only notified of the complaint
against late signatures and not of
the validity of the signatures before
the hearing Thursday evening.
When we were notified of the
complaint we werent given all the
reasons why they brought the com-
plaint forth, Ringer said. We were
only told one part of it and they
made a decision that was not based
on anything they had previously
told us.
Cantwell said she and Ringer
only had the opportunity to address
the fact that the signatures were late
and not their validity. She said they
received the boards rationale a few
hours after the decision was given
and after the hearing had ended.
Lewicki said the original hear-
ing was called only to address the
late signatures. It wasnt until the
hearing began that the commis-
sion members started questioning
the validity of signatures because
that was the first time they had
the opportunity to look at them,
she said.
They started to look at the sig-
natures and notice discrepancies
and thats what pushed them over
the edge to determine it was an
egregious offense, Lewicki said.
Ringer said he plans to file an
appeal with University Governance
to put his and Cantwells names
back on the ballot.

A little more than four years
after opening, Joe College, 734
Massachusetts St., will be closing
its doors on Wednesday.
The storefront was littered with
going out of business signs, and
the store was full of customers
looking for $5-to-$10 discounted
shirts.
Kansas Athletics Inc., filed suit
against Joe College, which sells
shirts that look similar to offi-
cially licensed apparel, about six
months after the store opened in
2006. For three years the Athletics
Department and Joe College
battled through the courts and
Joe College was ordered to pay
$127,337 in damages and $667,507
in legal fees.
The Joe College Twitter account
said it would also be halting online
sales. Owner Larry Sinks and his
attorney James Tilly were unavail-
able to comment about the reason
for closing the store.

Zoo holds celebration
for 50-year-old primate
PHOENIX The Phoenix Zoo is used to
hosting birthday parties, but this one
was a little diferent.
Duchess the orangutan turned 50
on saturday, and the zoo treated her
to gifts, an ice cake flled with fruit
and a rendition of Happy Birthday by
hundreds of zoo visitors.
Her keeper, Bob keesecker, said
Duchess didnt seem too stressed about
the milestone.
I told her it was her birthday today
and she didnt seem to be overly con-
cerned about it, he said. I made sure
her hair looked good before she went
out.
Zoo ofcials say Duchess is the na-
tions oldest captive Bornean orang-
utan, and is now 10 years older than
the 40-year life expectancy of orang-
utans in the wild.
Duchess was just 2 years old when
the zoo opened in 1962 and is one of
only a few remaining original animals.
she has given birth seven times and
lives with one of her daughters, her
daughters mate and their daughter.
saturdays birthday party included
the groundbreaking of a new $4 million
orangutan exhibit that will provide a
more natural environment for Duchess
and her family.
Potentially dangerous

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. A pit bull

on a local police car.
Winston didnt bite anybody, but
he mauled a Chattanooga police car
in what might have been a confused
attempt to take a bite out of crime. The
persistent pooch managed to tear of a
section of the front bumper and dam-
age the tires.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press
reports that a judge ruled that Winston
had been a very bad dog. He was
sentenced to obedience and canine
good citizen classes, and hell have to
wear a tag that says he is potentially
dangerous.
Charges against his owner will be
dismissed if the classes are completed
successfully.

BASEL, Switzerland An
armed gang of masked men raided
a casino packed with about 600
guests early Sunday and made off
with hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars, according to Swiss prosecu-
tors.
In a statement, prosecutors in
Basel described a scene like an
action-film heist: About 10 men
dressed in black arrived in two cars
at the Grand Casino near Basel
shortly after 4:00 a.m.
One smashed the front door with
a sledgehammer, and the others ran
inside with machine guns and pis-
tols, the statement said. Speaking
French, a group of men ordered the
guests and employees to the floor,
while their accomplices emptied
registers in the
basement and
an upper floor,
it said.
They couldnt
get into the
strong room,
despite shoot-
ing at the locked
door, prosecu-
tors said.
The crimi-
nals fired a num-
ber of shots, but luckily no one was
hit, said the statement.
It said some guests and one
security guard were lightly injured
from being hit or stepped on, and
that Swiss and French police were
trying to track
down the men.
Swiss police
said the men fled
the casino quickly,
driving away in
two silver Audis
with French license
plates.
A woman who
accidentally drove
between the two
getaway cars and
blocked the casinos exit was pulled
from her vehicle and beaten, police
said. They said it was possible that
the men fired a shot at another car
during their high-speed escape.
The Grand Casino is located
little more than 200 meters from
Switzerlands border with France.
The men made off with several
hundreds of thousands of francs
(dollars), police said.
The incident recalls a brazen raid
March 6 on a poker tournament at
a downtown hotel in Berlin. In
that heist, attackers armed with a
revolver and a machete made off
with 240,000 ($320,000) in jack-
pot money.
German authorities say they
have arrested five suspects.

from Hays and vice president
of campus relations for Alpha
Gamma Delta, said. Its a very
interactive-based event which
will enhance success.
On Sunday afternoon 200
people had confirmed their
invitation to the event on the
Facebook, 385 said they might
attend.
Fifteen women and 15 men
volunteered to be auctioned off.
The host described the daters
in two words, announced their
celebrity crush and their activ-
ity theyd chosen for their date.
More than 45 people had pallets
and planned to bid. Some of the
dates were sold for $15 while oth-
ers raised as much as $65 for the
cause, like Calen Gerstenberger
a senior from Olathe and mem-
ber of Theta Chi.
I was a little nervous but I
was hoping someone would bid
on me, Gersteberger said. It
was fun.
Gersteberger said he had
not yet met the girl who won
the date with him, but that he
planned to take her on a double
date to a T-bones game. Other
date ideas included dinner at
Salty Iguana, movie dates and
bowling at Jaybowl in the Kansas
Union.
For Kylie Wingate, a sopho-
more from Liberty, Mo., and
member of Alpha Gamma Delta,
the cause hit closer to home.
She was diagnosed with Type 1
diabetes when she was 12 years
old. Its affected her life every
day since.
Its hard because I cant just
leave the house, Wingate said.
I have to make sure I have my
medications and I have to check
my blood sugar often.
Lately Wingate has been hav-
ing complications with her dia-
betes, which causes her to take
four or more insulin shots a
day, one for every time she eats.
Shes been supporting diabetic
research for years and this event
was no exception.
Its nice to see people willing
to support this cause that arent
even family or friends, she said.
Alpha Gamma Delta will con-
tinue to raise money for diabetic
research. Lantis said its a disease
that needs to gain more atten-
tion.
It affects so many people and
its one of those things that goes
under the radar, she said. Two
girls in our sorority have dia-
betes. We will continue to pas-
sionately fundraise for research
and technology because at the
moment there isnt a cure.

to move the appeal along as quickly as pos-
sible; she said she hoped to find out more
information about the appeal hearing today.
Also at the election commission hearing,
KUnited was fined $25 for illegal campaign-
ing in Lewis Hall. The complaint cited two
individuals with the KUnited campaign who
went door-to-door soliciting students to
hang posters. Election code doesnt allow
campaigning in the dorms.
The hearing board decided the action was
a minor offense that would have a minimal
effect on the election.
KUnited presidential candidate Michael
Wade Smith said United Students and
Envision both went to dorms to campaign
last year. He said in the past the restric-
tion of campaigning in dorms was never
enforced and as long as the candidate knew
someone on the floor it was allowed.
It was presented to us this year that that
was no longer the case, Smith said. It has
been corrected.

crane moves and
damages building
NEW YORK The op-
erator of a crane that tilted
and hit a 25-story building
near Wall Street, sending
debris plummeting to the
ground and causing several
evacuations, had his license
suspended Sunday because
he didnt secure the crane
properly, a Department of
Buildings spokesman said.
Christopher Cosban
failed to leave the equip-
ment in the safest position
possible at the end of the
workday Saturday, buildings
spokesman Tony Sclafani
said.
While a fnal determina-
tion on the cause of the
accident still has to be
determined, Sclafani said
it appeared the improper
position of the crane con-
tributed.
A search of the Depart-
ment of Buildings Web site
shows Cosban has a license
that dates to April 2002
and expires in April 2012. A
suspended license means
Cosban is prohibited from
operating cranes anywhere
in the city, Sclafani said. Cos-
ban faces an administrative
hearing on the suspension.

european leaders demand Popes resignation
AssociAted Press
VATICAN CITY Pope
Benedict XVI opened Holy Week
on Sunday amid one of the most
serious crises facing the church in
decades, with protesters in London
demanding he resign and calls in
Switzerland for a central registry
for pedophile priests.
Benedict made no direct men-
tion of the scandal in his Palm
Sunday homily. But one of the
prayers, recited in Portuguese dur-
ing Mass, was for the young and
for those charged with educating
them and protecting them.
Jesus Christ, Benedict said in
his homily, guides the faithful
toward the courage that doesnt
let us be intimidated by the chat-
ting of dominant opinions, towards
patience that supports others.
Palm Sunday commemorates
Christs triumphant entry into
Jerusalem, and is the start of the
churchs Holy Week, which includes
the Good Friday re-enactment of
Christs crucifixion and death and
his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
This year, the most solemn week
on the Catholic Churchs liturgi-
cal calendar has been stained by
a clerical abuse scandal that has
spread across Europe to the popes
native Germany.
In London on Sunday, a few
dozen people gathered outside
Westminster Cathedral to demand
the pope resign. Demonstrators
carried placards saying Pope?
Nope! and Dont Turn a Blind
Eye.
The Archbishop of Westminster
Vincent Nichols insisted the pope
wouldnt and shouldnt quit.
In fact, it is the other way around,
he told BBC television. He is the
one above all else in Rome that has
tackled this thing head on.
In Austria, where several cases
have come out in recent weeks, the
archbishop of Vienna announced
the creation of a church-funded
but clergy-free and independent
commission to look into Austrian
abuse claims.
It will be run by a woman, the
former governor of Styria province,
and is not meant to take the place
of a possible state-run investigative
commission, Cardinal Christoph
Schoenborn told public broadcast-
er ORF on Sunday.
And in
S wi t z e r l a n d ,
Swiss President
Doris Leuthard
told the weekly
SonntagsZeitung
that Switzerland
should consider
creating a cen-
tral registry of
pedophile priests
to prevent them
from coming
into contact with
more children.
Church leaders say about 60
people have reported to be victims
of priest abuse in Switzerland.
It doesnt make any difference
if the perpetrators are from the
secular or spiritual world. Both
violate Swiss law, she said. Its
important that pedophile priests,
like teachers and other guardians,
dont come into contact with
children.
The Vatican has been on the
defensive amid mounting ques-
tions about the
popes handling of
sex abuse cases both
when he was arch-
bishop of Munich
and when he headed
the Vaticans doc-
trinal office, the
Congregation for
the Doctrine of the
Faith.
The former
Cardinal Joseph
Ratzinger was
Munich archbishop when a priest
was allowed to resume pastoral
work with children even while
receiving therapy for pedophilia.
He was subsequently convicted of
abusing minors.
It doesnt make
any diference if the
perpetrators are
from the secular or
spiritual world.
DORiS LEuTHARD
President of Switzerland
The criminals fred a
number of shots, but

Lauren Bowles, a freshman from
Leawood, won this years Intersec-
tion of Faith and Art contest, which
was sponsored by the St. Lawrence
Institute for Faith and Culture.
Bowles piece, titled Eros and
Agape consists of two oil paint-
ings. Te frst painting portrays
a couple kissing, and the second
painting is of an angel looking
down on Earth.
I feel like love is something
that highly involves faith, Bowles
said. Teres the
faith in the love
of God, but in
the love of an-
other person you
also need to have
faith.
For Bowles,
entering the con-
test was a dem-
onstration of her
artistic desire to
step outside of the boundaries of
interpretation.
When youre given a theme, I
really like to try and think about
a non-clich way to interpret it as
something else, Bowles said. I try
to work that into all of my pieces,
no matter what they are. It gives
you a diferent take on it that you
may not have thought to do it ini-
tially.
Leanne Tracy, a sophomore from
St. Louis, coordinated the contest,
which is in its frst year. She said
the group advertised the contest
as separate from the St. Lawrence
Center. Te St. Lawrence Institute
is a part of the St. Lawrence Cen-
ter and desired the separation to
broaden the scope of artists and
pieces submitted.
We wanted to see the results
of stepping out the boundaries,
into the art world and through the
eyes of faith Tracy said. I wanted
people to submit pieces without
worrying about the Catholic
barrier.
As a result, several pieces ex-
pressing diferent forms of faith
were submitted, including a piece
related to the Wiccan faith, as well
as a piece by a student who is seek-
ing religion.
I was really awe-inspired by
the diferent entries, Tracy said.
Tere are beliefs that I didnt know
people had. Culture intersects faith
uniquely for each person. It was
really neat to watch.
Bowles said she is not religious,
but interpreted the theme with a
more abstract meaning of faith.
Her goal was to display the two dif-
ferent types of
love and how
they compare.
Bowles won a
$500 scholar-
ship for her
piece. Te
judges were
three Law-
rence commu-
nity members
who have ex-
perience with
art. Twenty-one pieces were sub-
mitted, and 11 pieces will be dis-
played in the Student Union Ac-
tivities gallery on the fourth foor
of the Kansas Union until Friday.
Father Steve Beseau, director of
the St. Lawrence Institute for Faith
and Culture, said the purpose of
the contest was to promote the en-
counter between the church and
the world of culture and academic
discipline.
Beseau said there was a long
tradition of the intersection of art
and faith, but that this concept has
been recently neglected. He said
this contest was important for stu-
dents in order to foster a relation-
ship between faith and art.
Students are, and will continue
to be, the artists of our culture. We
wanted to allow them to the op-
portunity to create art that would
better interact with the issues of
faith, said Beseau.

ASSOcIAtEd PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Police
in a northern California town
thought they had an open-and-
shut case when they seized more
than two pounds of marijuana
from a couples home, even though
doctors authorized the pair to use
pot for medical purposes.
San Francisco police thought
the same with a father and son
team they suspected of abusing
the states
m e d i c a l
ma r i j u a na
law by alleg-
edly operat-
ing an illegal
t r af f i cki ng
operation.
But both
cases were
tossed out
along with
many other
marijuana possession cases
in recent weeks because of a
California Supreme Court ruling
that has police, prosecutors and
defense attorneys scrambling to
make sense of a gray legal area:
What is the maximum amount
of cannabis a
medical mar-
ijuana patient
can possess?
No one
can say for
sure how
many dis-
missals and
a c q u i t t a l s
have been prompted by the rul-
ing, but the numbers are stacking
up since the Supreme Court on
Jan. 21 tossed out Patrick Kellys
marijuana possession conviction.
The high court struck down
a seven-year-old state law that
imposed an eight-ounce limit on
the amount of pot medical users
of marijuana could possess. The
court said patients are entitled
to a reasonable amount of the
drug to treat their ailments.
Law enforcement officials say
the ruling has made the murky
legal landscape of marijuana pol-
icy in California even more chal-
lenging to enforce.
Since California voters legal-
ized medical marijuana in 1996,
there has been tension between
local law enforcement officials
and federal authorities, who view
marijuana as absolutely illegal.
That tension is expected to
become even
more pro-
nounced if
the states vot-
ers approve
a November
ballot mea-
sure legalizing
possession of
small amounts
of marijuana.
The way
the law is now
it puts law enforcement between
a rock and a hard place, said
Martin J. Mayer, a lawyer who
represents California State
Sheriff s Association, California
Police Chief s Association
and California Peace Officers
Associ at i on.
The measure,
if it passes, will
make it even
more difficult.
They just dont
like being in
the middle.
Prosecutors
are backing
away from some cases filed before
the court ruling.
Gray is not a good color for
the law, said Shasta County
District Attorney Gerald Benito,
who dismissed a case earlier this
month and is considering drop-
ping several more because of the
ruling. It makes it very difficult
for us to enforce the law I
think everyone is crying out for
a clear line.
Vague pot law
creates confusion
Gray is not a good color
for the law.

Extremist group releases prisoner
ASSOcIAtEd PRESS
SAN DIEGO Issa Salomis
first call home was to his 27-year-
old son Roger. He said memories
of the birth of the oldest of his four
boys and his sons childhood sus-
tained him after he was kidnapped
in Baghdad in January.
A few hours later, the Iraqi-
American contractor called his
wife of 30 years, Muna, and asked
for her homemade tabbouleh
when he arrived home.
The Pentagon said Saturday that
Salomi was back under U.S. mili-
tary control but gave no details on
his disappearance or return. The
family says he is expected to arrive
at Lackland Air Force Base in San
Antonio within a week.
A Shiite extremist group
claimed responsibility for the
Jan. 23 kidnapping and posted a
video online that showed a man
wearing military fatigues, read-
ing a list demands for the release
of militants, the prosecution of
Blackwater guards and an imme-
diate U.S. troop withdrawal.
The group issued a statement
Sunday indicating Salomis release
came in exchange for the release
by the Iraqi government of four of
its members.
Asaib Ahl al-Haq, known in
English as the League of the
Righteous, said the four were freed
in response to our demands fol-
lowing the capture of the American
officer a reference to Salomi,
who was not identified by name.
The statements authenticity
could not be verified but it was
posted on a web site commonly
used by the group.
Iraqi government spokesman
Ali al-Dabbagh said Sunday he had
no information that anyone was
released in return for Salomi.
Muna Salomi, 50, was con-
vinced she would never see her
husband again when she saw the
video. She and his extended family
spoke with him Friday for about
30 minutes.
We love you, we miss you, we
cant wait to see you, she remem-
bers telling him.
The family learned he was safe
Thursday afternoon, but U.S.
authorities asked them not to say
anything publicly until Saturday.
The way the law is now
it puts law enforcement
between a rock and a hard
place.

Russias president eliminates two of 11 time zones
AssociAted Press
WATERTOWN, Mass. Cory
Kadlik has never let being blind
stop him from golfing, skating,
learning martial arts or riding a
dirt bike. He had his doubts when
it came to fencing.
I never even knew this was
possible, said Kadlik, 19, of
Medway as epees clanged, his
teammates whooped in triumph,
and coaches barked out instruc-
tions in the gym of Perkins School
for the Blind.
Im on Twitter, and I men-
tioned to my followers and
friends that I was going to be in
a fencing tournament and I had
10 replies saying
Blind people can
fence? Really? No
way! Yeah, any-
thing is possible.
Kadlik duels
Monday in whats
being billed as a
first-of-its-kind
match between
students at schools
for the blind
Perkins and The
Carroll Center for
the Blind in nearby Newton.
The match was the brain-
child of Perkins fencing instruc-
tor Cesar Morales, founder of
the International Fencing Club
in suburban Boston and also a
teacher at the Newton school.
Morales said the students got
bored fencing against the same
people week after week and need-
ed outside challenges.
Fencing teaches the balance,
agility, mobility, timing, listen-
ing and navigational skills that
the blind need to make their way
in the sight-oriented world, said
Peggy Balmaseda, a physical edu-
cation teacher at Perkins for 25
years.
This helps with orientation,
said Kadlik, who lives on his own
in an apartment on the Perkins
Watertown campus. When
youre walking along, and you
come to a crosswalk, you need
to stay in a straight line to cross
the street, and learning to stay
straight in fencing reinforces that
feeling.
The Carroll Center has been
teaching fencing to its students
for exactly those reasons since
1954, said vice president Arthur
ONeill. But to his knowledge,
this is the first time there has
been a fencing match with anoth-
er school.
About a half-dozen students
from each school will compete.
Any kind of physical activ-
ity benefits the blind and visu-
ally impaired, said Mark Lucas,
executive direc-
tor of the U.S.
As s o c i a t i o n
of Bl i nd
Athletes based
in Colorado
Springs, Colo.
The organi-
zation oversees
c o mp e t i t i o n
for the blind in
sports including
cycling, swim-
ming, skiing, and
judo, but Lucas said hes never
heard of a fencing tournament
for the blind, perhaps because it
takes so much hand-eye coordi-
nation.
This sounds like a wonderful
opportunity, he said.
Blind and visually impaired
people who participate in sports
tend to be more competitive and
higher achievers, Lucas said.
The unemployment rate for
the blind nationwide is something
like 70 percent, but we surveyed
our members and found that its
more like 30 percent for those
involved with sports, he said.
For the Perkins fencers, fenc-
ing is just plain fun and proves
that the blind can do anything the
sighted can.

MOSCOW Russias president
thought the country had too much
time on its hands, so on Sunday
he eliminated two of its 11 time
zones.
The changes mean that Chukotka
Russias eastern extreme, just
across the Bering Strait from
Alaska is now nine hours ahead
of Russias westernmost area, the
Kaliningrad exclave sandwiched
between Lithuania and Poland.
Formerly, there was ten hours dif-
ference.
As well as eliminating the
time zone that previously
covered the Chukotka and
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky regions
in the Pacific Far East, President
Dmitry Medvedev ordered that
Samara and Udmurtia, two regions
in central Russia, should be on the
same time as Moscow.
The changes went into effect
before dawn Sunday when most of
Russia switched to daylight-saving
time. People in the eliminated time
zones didnt move their clocks an
hour ahead.
Medvedev initiated the change
in his state of the nation address
last November, prompting some
criticism that he was addressing
marginal issues at the expense of
the countrys array of problems.
But Medvedev said the change
would help some far-flung regions
have more efficient communica-
tions with the central authorities,
ease travel and even improve the
countrys international position.
Its possible that this could also
aid the strengthening of Russias
position as a link in the global
information infrastructure, he said
at a meeting this month with min-
isters and regional leaders.
But some people in the affected
regions believe Medvedev should
have been doing something else
with his time.
An online petition opposing the
Samara regions change gathered
nearly 13,000 signatures. It acidly
dismissed the argument that the
move would make travel easier.
Trips take place to many regions
of the country and world where
time, you understand, far from
always corresponds with Moscow,
the text said. It also complained
that moving Samara to a new time
zone would make it a disorient-
ing two hours behind its eastern
neighbors and that sunset would be
painfully early in the winter.
In the winter, darkness will
come almost at lunchtime, which
isnt convenient and is psychologi-
cally quite hard, the petition said.
But more manipulation of time
zones appears likely.
I had 10 replies say-
ing Blind people can
fence? Really? No
way! Yeah, any-
thing is possible.

Film shows outer
space in IMAX 3-D
In space, no one can hear you
scream and you cant reload
flm into a large-format camera.
So when the crew of the Space
Shuttle Atlantis blasted of 10
months ago to meet the Hubble
Space Telescope for repairs, they
had to be careful about using the
575-pound IMAX 3-D to flm their
mission.
Even housing a mile of flm, the
camera could shoot only about
eight minutes of footage before
running out. Every moment cap-
tured was timed to the second.
The result: the new IMAX flm,
Hubble 3D, which opens Friday.

after seeing energetic Dr. Jen fea-

But we just didnt have the time

So the producers came back

T
he Lawrence and Douglas
County Planning Commis-
sion did the right thing and
showed their support of the home-
less community in their meeting
on March 22. Te Commission
voted in support of the relocation
of Lawrences homeless shelter and
recommended the approval of a
special use permit.
Te shelters current location at
214 W. 10th St. can house up to 76
people, Loring Henderson, execu-
tive director of the shelter, said. Te
new facility, which would be lo-
cated near the Douglas County jail,
would hold up to 125 people.
Henderson said the new facility
would also enable the city to provide
homeless people with beds instead
of the foor mats they currently use.
Te space to comfortably sleep 49
more people is essential, especially
in the cold winter months.
In October 2008, three people
were found dead in homeless camps
near the Kansas River. People who
are turned away from shelters
when maximum sleeping capacity
is reached are ofen forced to camp,
regardless of weather conditions.
Expanding the capacity of the
homeless shelter would help pre-
vent similarly tragic events from
occurring.
Te relocation of the shelter
should not eliminate the drop-in
center. Te homeless community
needs a place to go during the day.
Te current shelter provides the
beneft of a central location, so the
possibility of keeping it open for
daytime use, in addition to the new
shelter, should be considered.
Particularly with the state of the
economy, Henderson said a large
part of the homeless community in
Lawrence is comprised of families.
He described the current location
as woefully inadequate to accom-
modate this number of families
and that many of them are forced
to stay with friends or, in the worst
circumstances, sleep in their cars
or camp. Henderson estimates the
new location would house at least
fve families.
Other benefts from the new
location include more ofces,
more space for interviews, a full
dining room and more space
for collaboration with outside
resources, including a medical
facility for Baker University
nursing. Tese new programs
would give the shelter the ability
to ofer the homeless not only a
place to stay, but also improve their
situations.
Adding a bus stop is also being
proposed and is supported by the
Lawrence Transit Ofce. Adminis-
trators at the Douglas County Jail
have encouraged adding a bus stop
for a long time. Since the new loca-
tion is so far away from downtown,
adding the bus stop is a complete
necessity if the shelter is relocated.
On April 13 the City Commis-
sion will vote to determine the
fnal fate of the shelter. Students
and Lawrence citizens should
show their support of the reloca-
tion, which enables the shelter to
provide Lawrences homeless with
more space and better programs.
However, students should also
make it clear to city ofcials that
the relocation would be inefective
without the additional drop-in cen-
ter and bus stop. Only then can we
realistically meet the needs of the
homeless community in Lawrence.

T
he pothole problem in
Lawrence has become
quite the nuisance. And,
for a long time, I hated the
potholes, too. In fact, I wanted
them buried by tar so they were
not making my 1991 Toyota
Previa an even worse ride than it
already was.
However, I recently discov-
ered just why the potholes in
Lawrence seemed to be multi-
plying like rabbits in breeding
season. You may or may not
believe me. You may or may not
understand the emotional con-
nection I experienced.
Nonetheless, I now feel it is
my duty to share my story: Te
plight of the potholes.
I was driving through the
student ghetto when I suddenly
smacked into a deep pothole.
At frst, I thought it was like
every other time I had driven
into a pothole. But then I heard
something.
Hello, said a little voice. At
frst, I thought I was going a little
crazy.
I stopped, and upon exiting
my car, I heard the voice again. I
looked around feverishly trying
to fnd a person.
It wasnt until the third time I
heard the hello that I realized
the noise was coming out of the
pothole. It was true. Te potholes
are living, sentient beings.
A little freaked out, but still
intrigued, I leaned closer and
returned the potholes greeting. It
then proceded to tell me the tale
of his people.
He said they had once lived in
a kingdom of their own before
being systematically killed by
large, burly men wearing fuores-
cent vests.
He leaked tar from where eyes
would normally be as he told me
of his familys slow, tarry death.
Te potholes arrived in Law-
rence years back, praying that the
orange predators would not mer-
cilessly kill them. One of them
got a councilmans attention a
few years back and begged him
to spare him and his brethren.
So, here the poor potholes sit.
Tey are quiet creatures until
they are hit by cars. Like little tar
vampires, they steal a few days
of life of the automobiles we
drive and slowly grow larger and
larger.
Te pothole explained that
occasionally humans called me-
chanics send them fruit baskets,
which the potholes are confused,
but happy to receive.
However, other than these rare
occurrences of happiness and
their slight survival in Lawrence,
the potholes live very fearful
lives.
Te pothole I talked to told me
they constantly worry that some-
one will systematically murder
them like so many of his family
members past.
I assured him that Lawrence
would not let that happen any-
time soon.
I somehow managed to hug
the pothole before leaving, be-
cause his story really moved me.
If you would like to sponsor a
pothole for the cost of only a few
new shocks and a few new tires
every year, please feed the pot-
holes by driving through them as
much as possible.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
Health care debate represents a
larger problem with partisanship
A
s I am writing this, the
debate about current
health insurance reform
legislation is coming into the home
stretch. By the time this runs, it
will be over, and you, the fve faith-
ful readers I have, will be looking
at it from a perspective either of
elation or disappointment.
As I watch the fnal shots fre of
from both sides of the debate, it
becomes painfully clear that there
will be fghts like the one we have
witnessed during the past year
throughout President Obamas time
in the Oval Ofce.
Conservative objection to health
reform started early and forced
Democratic leadership to relent
on attempts to implement a public
option system of coverage. One
would think that afer such a
signifcant victory, the opposition
would be open to some kind of
compromise. But, sadly, this hasnt
been the case.
Congressional Republicans
continue their collective vow to op-
pose health care reform, no matter
the changes that have resulted. At
a time when millions of Americans
go uninsured, to say that no change
to the system is needed is ignorant,
though, thankfully, that absurd idea
is only stated outright on the talk
shows. Frustratingly, none of the
other reasons for opposing reform
seem to have gelled into a coherent
set of complaints.
Prominent conservatives have
insisted on a few occasions that
whatever legislation Democrats are
supporting is a give to insurance
companies. But, these complaints
are rarely accompanied with
anything resembling reason to back
them up. Perhaps this is because
insurance companies will be
harmed by the major changes.
Te initial plan, featuring a
public option, would have created
a tough new competitor for exist-
ing companies, and even further
revisions have placed blocks on
rate hikes. Aside from that, even
the most recent version of the bill
has included a provision banning
companies from denying cover-
age based on patients pre-existing
conditions, a personal favorite of
mine.
Te constant screams of reform
being too expensive are far more
reasonable. But, even still, the Con-
gressional Budget Ofce, a nonpar-
tisan entity, recently published a
report saying the current version of
the bill would reduce the national
defcit by more than $100 billion
during the next decade.
With this and other arguments
in mind, I just have to worry about
the tone of future major debates in
Congress. Progressives have been
frustrated both by conservative ob-
structionists and moderates look-
ing for favors in return for votes.
Conservatives will either be terri-
fed of what else the Obama admin-
istration might push through, or
emboldened to block everything
signifcant on its agenda, regardless
of the benefts.
Maybe Im just cynical. No mat-
ter how the current reform debate
goes, people are more galvanized
about it as an issue than they ever
have been in this country. Tat, in
itself, should guarantee progress.
We can only hope that those who
continue to stand in the way of
health care reform do so for a bet-
ter reason than the sake of perpetu-
ating partisan confict.

Stephanie Heyden, a freshman fromHarrisburg, Pa., Molly Rissien, a freshman from
Overland Park andWendi Albert, a freshman fromMemphis, Tenn., peel maror in prepa-
ration for Passover Seder, a Passover night service replicating the events of the Exodus.
Maror, or bitter herbs, are served in remembrance of the bitterness of the Israelites
slavery in Egypt.
RELIgIoN
Exploring the traditions
and meaning of Passover
The holiday begins tomorrow, continues until April 5
WHAT IS PASSoVER?
Passover is an eight-day Jewish
holiday that celebrates the freedom
of the Jewish nation from enslave-
ment in Egypt. Rabbi Zalman
Tiechtel of the KU Chabad House
said the freedom of the Jews from
Egypt was miraculous.
In a sense, thats when we began
as a people, Tiechtel said. For
every Jewish person its com-
mon around the world Passover
is a popular holiday. The idea is
that we celebrate today in society
what it means to be free people.
Passover means a lot to me,
David Katz, a senior from Leawood,
said. People come together, your
family comes together. Every
religion has a well-known story.
Passover is our well-known
story. Not only does the public
know about it, but were doing it
together.
WHEN IS PASSoVER?
According to the calendar,
Passover begins Tuesday and will
continue until April 5. But Tiechtel
said the celebration of Passover
really begins the evening before,
so the first Passover candle will be
lit tonight.
HoW IS PASSoVER CELEbRATED?
Tiechtel described Passover as the Jewish
Thanksgiving, meaning many Jews gather in large
family settings. Because the first days of this years
Passover is in the middle of the week, Tiechtel said
there will be special celebrations and ceremonies
for students who are unable to go home.
Thats why we do what we do, Tiechtel said.
We make it similar to a home setting its their
home away from home.
During the first two nights of Passover, there
is a Seder, which is a large meal that includes the
retelling of the Passover story.
On Seder nights, Jews traditionally drink four
cups of wine or grape juice with the meal. Tiechtel
said wine was a drink of loyalty, and each of the
cups symbolize Gods promises to the Jewish
people.
Katz said his familys celebration of Passover
was different from the traditional Passover cel-
ebration. When he was growing up, his grand-
mother, who had a love for education, decided
that she wanted to make the tradition and history
of Passover more meaningful for the family. She
began putting different children in the family in
charge of teaching the family about a different
plague on Egypt during the exile of the Jews.
WHAT Do PEoPLE EAT
DURINg PASSoVER?
Throughout the week, observers of Passover
dont eat any leavened foods, including cakes or
cookies.
Because of this, Tiecthel said, We clean our
homes spotlessly to make sure theres not even a
crumb of leavened food we may accidentally eat.
One of the foods eaten during Passover is
Matza, a flat, unleavened bread.
When the Jews left Egypt in such a rush to be
free, Tiechtel said, they didnt have time to wait
for the bread to rise. Because of this, we eat matza.
We have handmade matza brought here from
Israel, so we can have a taste of the holy land.
Many observers of Passover also eat bitter
herbs, onions or parsley dipped in salt-water.
Tiechtel said this was meant to allow the observ-
ers of Passover to taste the pain and suffering
their ancestors faced.
We want to relive the experience, and relive the
history, and make it relevant to today, Tiechtel
said.
Katz said his family also ate a food called
Charoset, a paste made of apples, nuts and other
fruits.

Matzah, cracker-like bread, is served during the
Passover Seder, symbolizing the bread baked by
the Jewish people who left to follow God into the
desert. They left Egypt with such haste that their
bread did not have time to rise.
INTERNATIoNAL
G-8 will discuss Irans nuclear weapons
ASSOcIAtEd pRESS
OTTAWA Irans nuclear pro-
gram is of critical concern and
will top the agenda when foreign
ministers from the Group of Eight
nations meet today to discuss
global security, Canadas foreign
minister said.
Foreign Minister Lawrence
Cannon said hell press for stifer
sanctions against Iran when G-8
ministers assemble in Gatineau,
Quebec for the meeting which
begins tonight and continues
through Tuesday.
Te United States and its West-
ern allies have been pushing for
a fourth round of U.N. sanctions
against Iran over its nuclear pro-
gram. Iran insists its nuclear pro-
gram is for peaceful means only,
but Western powers believe the
country is working to produce an
atomic weapon.
Unfortunately I believe we are
lef with little choice but to pursue
additional sanctions against Iran
ideally through the United Nations
Security Council, Cannon said.
Cannon said hell discuss with
his G-8 col-
leagues what they
can do to put ad-
ditional pressure
on Iran to stop
its nuclear en-
richment activi-
ties and convince
them to return to
the negotiating
table.
U.S. Secretary
of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton and Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
will be attending the meeting that
comes just days afer their coun-
tries struck a landmark agreement
cutting their nuclear arsenals by a
third.
Russias position at the confer-
ence is key because it has close
commercial ties with Tehran and
has used its position as a veto-
wielding permanent U.N. Security
Council member to water down
Western-backed
sanctions.
Lavrov said re-
cently that Iran
was allowing an
opportunity for
mutually benef-
cial dialogue with
the West to slip
away. Russian
President Dmitry
Medvedev said
Saturday impos-
ing more sanctions is not the best
option, but cannot be excluded.
Te G-8 meeting of foreign
ministers precedes Junes G-8
summit uniting world leaders in
Huntsville, Ontario that will also
focus on non-economic issues like
nuclear proliferation.

COMMENTARY
Gill's GAME
Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
CoachTurner Gill speaks with his teamSunday afternoon at the practice felds southeast of Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawks practiced together for the frst time on Sunday since previous coach Mark Mangino left the program.
Gill gets settled in at practice
Superior
teams
don't get
job done
K
entucky couldnt hit water
from a boat Saturday, let
alone the bottom of the net
from 20 feet away.
The Wildcats first 20 three-
point attempts against West
Virginia missed. Kevin Pelton, an
NBA analyst, tweeted during the
ominous streak that the odds of
this happening against an average
defense, like West Virginias, was
more than 1 in 5,400, which means
the team would take 135 seasons to
find a game where they went 0-for-
20 from three again.
In that statistic, we can see the
beauty, and the harsh reality, of
basketball in March.
It doesnt always go like it should.
Kansas fans know this all too
well. In terms of talent and depth,
the Jayhawks were a lock for the
Final Four. They slipped up on the
second step to Indianapolis and
found themselves lying flat on their
backs, watching Northern Iowa
skip down the road.
Butlers Brad Stevens, a coach
who looks like he might have
just graduated from high school,
outcoached Jim Boeheim and
Syracuse, knocking the Orange out
on the third step. Kentuckys shoot-
ing foibles against West Virginia
cost them a trip to Indy.
So with this Final Four, one
headlined by Butlers seven mile
trip from campus to Lucas Oil
Stadium, do we automatically
assume that the national champion
is the nations best team?
The beauty of this notion: The
team that topples all comers in a
three-week span did everything
it needed to deserve the title. The
team may not have a huge NBA
prospect or look fantastic in a layup
line, but it did what it needed to do
to advance.
Thats why you dont need to
look outside to know that March is
the most beautiful time of the year.
But is this beauty superficial,
like the forty-something facing a
midlife crisis and shelling out thou-
sands of dollars for plastic surgery?
If Butler wins the whole shebang,
do we consider it the best team
in the country? Even though the
Bulldogs didnt take down Kansas
or Kentucky themselves?
The reality is that the only thing
that matters is the tournament.
The tournament seedings weigh
the regular season results, provid-
ing the teams that succeeded in
January and February the oppor-
tunity to play what is supposed to
be lesser competition to reach the
Final Four.
For Kansas and Kentucky fans,
this is no time to bemoan Butler,
West Virginia or Michigan State for
accomplishing what the Jayhawks
and Wildcats couldnt.
Nonetheless, Bill Self, working as
a CBS studio analyst on Saturday
and Sunday, probably cursed under
his breath when he saw the more
athletic Wildcats, both Kansas State
and Kentucky, fall to teams that
simply executed team basketball.
If his team executed with its
season on the line, like Kansas State
and Kentucky couldnt, Self could
have ridden his teams athleticism
and talent to a national title against
an otherwise surprising Final Four.
This tournament was an oppor-
tunity missed for the Jayhawks.

As a cluster of cameras and
reporters engulfed Kansas head
coach Turner Gill before his first
spring practice Sunday afternoon,
Gill seemed genuinely surprised
by the media attention.
Nobodys watching the bas-
ketball game? Gill joked. Wow.
I thought you guys might still
be watching basketball on TV or
something.
And it didnt take long for Gill to
announce his first change. Senior
Vernon Brooks was dismissed
from the team permanently for
violating team policy.
Brooks, a linebacker from
Missouri City, Texas, transferred
from Blinn Junior College in
2009. He made five total tackles
and left the team midseason. He
was expected to return for spring
practice before Gill announced his
removal.
Gill said that every player had a
chance to impress the coaches on
the practice field.
We can only evaluate on what
we see, Gill said. Were not just
going to guess on what they might
have done in the past, but what
they are able to do right now.
Gill wont make any huge chang-
es in the next couple of practices,
but plans to have an initial depth
chart in about a week. He said
he can evaluate a players body
language in the early practices,
but the true evaluation will come
when the players put on pads.
If the coaching staff feels the
need to increase the competition
at any position, it wont hesitate
to do so.
We always want competition,
Gill said. Thats always going to
bring the best out of each player.
Gill isnt worried about oppos-
ing coaches spying on his prac-
tices from other vantage points,
including the Oread Inn.
Football: Everybody knows
what everybodys doing, Gill said.
Other things Gill addressed
Sunday included:
iNjuRY issuEs
Senior linebacker Drew Dudley
is one of several players who will
be doing minimal activities as he
works through an injury. Gill said
he will provide a more specific
update on the players dealing with
injuries on Wednesday.
QuARTERbACk bATTlE
Gill said he would mostly be
looking at the quarterbacks body
language in these early practices.
He wants to hear each quarter-
backs voice in the huddle and see
how the other players respond.
shOTGuN OR
uNdER CENTER
Gill said he wants to work both
a shotgun snap and a under-the-
center snap into the offense. Under
Mark Mangino, the quarterback
almost always took a deep snap.
RETuRN GAME
Prior to stretching, four play-
ers fielded punts from senior
Alonso Rojas: junior wide receiver
Daymond Patterson, freshman
running back Deshaun Sands,
sophomore wide receiver D.J.
Beshears and junior cornerback
Isiah Barfield. Gill said he would
do a lot of work with the return
teams in the coming weeks.

In the tightly competitive
three-game series in Waco, Texas
that was marked by high-pow-
ered offenses and continual lead
changes, the Jayhawks saved their
best performance for last.
After splitting the first two
games, Kansas (15-9, 2-1) out-
lasted Baylor to earn a 12-6 vic-
tory in 14 innings on Sunday to
take two-of-three games in its Big
12 opener.
Thats about as good as it gets,
coach Ritch Price said.
The victory in Sundays finale
capped off a series in which the
Jayhawks continually hung tough,
rallying back from deficits and
wearing down the Bears to notch
their first ever series victory in
Waco.
To have fought through the
adversity that we did to win those
two games that we did is huge,
coach Price said.
Friday and Saturdays games
were nearly identical, with the
Jayhawks jumping out to early
leads only to see them vanish after
big innings from the Bears. Baylor
exploded for five run rallies in
each contest, smacking around
Kansas starters junior T.J. Walz
and senior Cameron Selik.
Walz was able to regain his
composure after Baylors rally
on Friday, lasting into the sev-
enth inning and giving Kansas a
chance to recapture the lead and
win the ball game. But Selik didnt
make it out of the fourth inning
on Saturday, leaving the Jayhawk
bullpen with a heavier than usual
workload.
Sundays outing started in a
similar fashion, when an early 4-0
Jayhawk lead was drowned out
with a six-run rally in the third
inning by the Bears, who knocked
out senior Brett Bollman in the
process.
With another ineffective start
from his pitching staff, coach Price
said the only chance Kansas had at
victory lay in a strong showing
from his bullpen.
The only way we were going
to get back into it was to get the
bleeding stopped, Price said.

New head coach addresses players,
strategies for the upcoming season
R
emember when Late Night in the
Phog was the jump off point to
Indianapolis and Northern Iowa
was just a run-of-the-mill team from the
Missouri Valley Conference? Those were
good times.
Many fans figured this year would be
a perfect storm of great fortune heading
the Jayhawks way and rightfully so. What
team had two preseason All-Americans,
the best coach in America and Xavier
Henry, potentially the next Carmelo
Anthony? Kansas.
Also on the college basketball radar,
Kentucky, a college basketball giant, was
waking up from a brief dark period by
hiring John Calipari, who lef his old team,
the Memphis Tigers, behind and pilfered
its recruiting class.
Today, Indianapolis is getting ready for
this weekends Final Four. The hometown
Butler Bulldogs are the darlings and Kansas
and Kentucky are back home, having been
bounced out of the tournament. While
Butlers three seniors are seeing four years
of blood, sweat and tears pay off, John Wall
and Henry sit at home and have to deal
with not being there.
In a way, its comical. Henry and Wall
were brought in to win an instant national
championship while the Butler kids were
just brought in to win anything. Within
the next couple of weeks both players will
most likely leave for the riches of the NBA
and will have fans wondering what could
have been.
As a college basketball nut, I admire the
storied history of players who didnt pimp
or milk out their schools just to raise hopes
for one season. Wall and Henry will not be
placed with Anthony as an instant impact
legend and hero.
Instead they will be joining Kevin
Durant, Michael Beasley and the 1999
Duke Blue Devils freshman class. Those
players, for whatever reason, decided not
to have a true, four-year college career.
They didnt win a national championship.
They wont be remembered for being win-
ners, but rather as guys who played college
basketball one season and were off to the
NBA in a snap.
The NBA draft rule that requires players
to be 19 years old and a year removed from
the graduation of their high school class is
a joke. It makes me wonder about the fans
and coaches of college basketball. I would
like someone to describe a lasting memory
of Henry or Wall.
Anyone?
No. Thats what I thought. Not only did
these guys not create memories but you
most likely wont be able to see them take
in the moment of senior night emotions
like Greivis Vasquez at Maryland or like
Sherron Collins did here at Kansas.
If Wall and Henry were as faithful to
their schools as the fans were to them, they
should see that fans in the NBA come and
go but fans at Kentucky and here at Kansas
stay forever.
So while they have their drive-by edu-
cation, we should respect the 2010 tourna-
ment run of Cornell. Although we dont
know half of the team by name and will
never see them on the cover of any basket-
ball previews, I hold them in a higher value
because not only did they have a great run
but they are true student athletes.
The NCAA likes to tout that they have
athletes that go into careers other than
sports. Someone forgot to send that mes-
sage to top D-1 Basketball programs.

Meyer apologizes
for public outburst
Florida football coach Urban
Meyer on saturday apologized
for his public outburst at Orlando
sentinel reporter Jeremy Fowler
four days earlier.
McClatchy-Tribune
AssOciAtED PREss
DAYTON, Ohio The first
time Maya Moore touched the
ball on offense she hit a 3-point-
er from the top of the key. The
second time, she hit one from
the left corner. And so began
another Connecticut rout.
Moore scored 16 of her 25
points in the opening 9 min-
utes and seemingly invincible
UConn took it from there to
roll over Iowa State 74-36 in a
regional semifinal Sunday.
Connecticut is certainly as
good as advertised, Iowa State
coach Bill Fennelly said. I dont
think Ive had a whipping like
that since I was a little kid and I
broke something of my moms.
Kelly Faris came off the bench
for 16 points and Tina Charles
also had 16 for the Huskies (36-
0), who extended their unprec-
edented winning streak to 75
in a row.
The Huskies have won their
first three games in the tourna-
ment by a combined 148 points
the most ever. UConn easily
surpassed the previous mark of
131 it set in 2000 and 2001.
A frequently overlooked
strength of the Huskies team
defense was evident. Iowa
State came in shooting 43 per-
cent from the field but made just
15 of 53 shots for 28 percent.
The Cyclones, one the nations
pre-eminent 3-point-shooting
teams, were rattled into going
just 6 of 25 behind the arc, with
most of the damage they did do
behind the arc coming after the
game was all but over.
I know it sounds like a
broken record from me, but
going into todays game I wasnt
really sure how we were going
to keep them from making a
bunch of 3s, UConn coach
Geno Auriemma said. I cant
tell you how well this group
played defensively, how they
locked into the scouting report
and how well they prepared.
They just played exceptionally
well defensively.

Mcclatchy-tribune
HOUSTON The Saint
Marys College basketball teams
run during the month of March
was as unexpected as it was dra-
matic.
Convincing victories against
Portland and Gonzaga in the
West Coast Conference tour-
nament, a methodical win over
Richmond in the first round of
the NCAA Tournament and a
shocking upset of No. 9 Villanova
in the second round highlighted
a three-week stretch that solidi-
fied the 2009-10 Gaels place in
the annals of the century-old
program.
But future Saint Marys teams
wont be able to take anyone by
surprise. The expectations of the
program are now greater than
ever as the Gaels (28-6) hope to
use this season as a steppingstone
to better things.
Ive never been more proud
of anything in my life than this
team and this coaching staff,
senior center Omar Samhan after
Fridays 72-49 loss to Baylor in
the South Regional semifinals
at Reliant Stadium. So it didnt
matter how it ended. I can walk
away happy and excited for them
next year. Theyll be better now
that theyre getting rid of me and
this big guy (Ben Allen).
Thats hardly a certainty. Allen,
the Gaels 6-foot-11 starting
power forward from day one this
season, made huge improvements
in his scoring, shooting percent-
age and rebounding. A transfer
from Indiana, Allen was right
at home in the Gaels inside-
outside offensive attack and
became a leader for the other
four Australians on the roster.
Then theres Samhan, whose
larger-than-life personality
helped make Saint Marys one
of the darlings of the NCAA
tournament. But when he wasnt
filling reporters notebooks with
off-the-cuff remarks, he was busy
setting a standard for all other
Saint Marys big men to follow.
As he shed roughly 60 pounds
in a four-year stretch, Samhan set
school career records for games
played (133), blocks (258) and
field goals
made (736).
He also set
single-season
records this
year in scor-
ing (724), field
goals made
(282) and
blocks (99).
Omar and
Ben have been
tremendous leaders for us. They
left a good imprint for our young
kids, Gaels coach Randy Bennett
said Friday. What it takes leader-
ship-wise, what it takes commit-
ment-wise. Yeah, Omar will go
down as one of the best players
that ever played at Saint Marys.
The overall feel of the team is
what a great year, what a special
year. Im just thankful to be able
to coach a group of guys like
that.
The tallest players returning for
Saint Marys will be 6-9 forwards
Tim Williams, Mitch Young and
Kenton Walker Jr., who sat out
this season after he transferred
from Creighton. Junior Phil
Benson, who saw some playing
time in critical spots this season,
is 6-8. At small forward, the Gaels
will have 6-7 Clint Steindl and
San Diego transfer Rob Jones.
Saint Marys will be deep-
est at guard, where starters
Mickey McConnell and Matthew
Dellavedova become the teams
offensive focal points. McConnell
had a breakout season and was
a first-team All-WCC selection.
He was the Gaels best player in
the conference tournament and
garnered MVP honors.
Dellavedova, a combo-guard,
was named to the WCCs all-
freshman team and was second
on the team in assists behind
McConnell and third in scoring.
McConnell and Dellavedova
played nearly
every min-
ute of every
Gaels game
this month,
but there will
be more com-
petition for
minutes next
season.
J o r d e n
Page and Trey
Anderson will have another year
of experience, Tim Harris will be
back after redshirting this sea-
son and Stephen Holt will arrive
in the fall as one of Bennetts
most heralded recruits. Also,
6-4 Wayne Hunter, who tore his
left ACL in December, hopes to
receive a medical redshirt and
return for a sixth season.
Were going to be upbeat
about the team we have coming
back, McConnell said. We were
young this year, but a lot of guys
got experience. Thatll definitely
be a huge bonus for us.
You kind of have to take this
and be a little greedy and, now
that weve been here and accom-
plished this, you kind of want to
get back here. Itll take a while to
start focusing on next year, but
we have high expectations.
Ive never been more
proud of anything in my
life than this team and
this coaching staf.

MILWAUKEE John Salmons
scored ten of his 25 points in the
fourth quarter and overtime, and
the Milwaukee Bucks rallied to beat
the Memphis Grizzlies 108-103 on
Sunday.
Salmons twice put the Bucks
ahead in the extra period with bas-
kets, including the lead for good
when he drained a fading 14-foot
jumper with 1:35 left.
Rookie Brandon Jennings added
29 points, eight assists and seven
rebounds, and Andrew Bogut had
18 points and 11 rebounds in his
return after missing a game with a
sore back to help the Bucks avoid a
three-game losing streak.
Milwaukee trailed 85-78 midway
through the fourth, but the Grizzlies
committed four turnovers down
the stretch as the Bucks rallied.
Ersam Ilyasova gave them their
first lead of the period at 91-89
after a second-chance three-pointer
with 1:37 left.
After putting the Bucks ahead
93-89 with a floater and again
94-92 with a free throw, Brandon
Jennings fouled Mike Conley in
the corner with 2.1 seconds left
in regulation. Conleys free throws
sent the game to overtime.

Kansas opened Big 12 play with a
setback as two grand slams helped
run-rule Kansas in only six innings
in both games against Texas A&M.
Kansas fell to 14-17 (0-2) while
Texas A&M improved to 29-7 (2-0)
on the season.
Coach Megan Smith said the
team was already moving forward
from the weekend and was focus-
ing on what the team needs to do
to improve.
Our mantra all year is were
going to focus on ourselves, control
the controllables, work hard and
have passion for the game every
time out, Smith said. The out-
come of the game is secondary if
we can do all those things.
Smith said she would use the
game as a teaching tool and expect-
ed the Big 12 Conference to be very
tough this season.
Everyone we play in confer-
ence is a good team, Smith said.
Specifically knowing that were
playing in conference now, every-
one is going to be playing their
best.
Kansas managed only five hits
in game one and two hits in game
two. Texas A&M on the other hand
was efficient with its hitting, get-
ting 12 runs on 11 hits in game one
and 10 runs on 10 hits in game two.
Senior infielder Sara Ramirez said
that Texas A&M
biggest strength
was their hit-
ting.
All up and
down the lineup
they have good
hitters, Ramirez
said. Their hit-
ting capabilities
are real tough.
The Aggies pitchers had a good
weekend as well, and through the
two games the
Aggies allowed
only four earned
runs and seven
hits. Sophomore
i n f i e l d e r
Marissa Ingle
said Texas
A&M pitched
extremely well.
We got to
keep thinking positive and not let
any more pitchers beat us because
that was really the difference, Ingle
said.
In the first game the Aggies
scored a single run in the bottom
of the second, but Kansas quickly
tied it in the third. Texas A&M
responded with three more runs
in the third. Senior first baseman
Amanda Jobe
belted a two-
run homer in
the fourth, and
Ingle had a solo
homerun in
the fifth to tie
the game back
up. Then in the
bottom of the
sixth the Aggies hit in eight runs,
including a grand slam to run-rule
Kansas 12-4.
In the second game Kansas
couldnt get anything going offen-
sively. Kansas didnt get its first hit
or run until the top of the sixth, but
by that time Texas A&M had built a
six-point lead. In the bottom of the
sixth, the Aggies again hit a grand
slam to run rule Kansas 10-1.
Kansas continues the season with
a doubleheader at home against
UMKC and will play two games at
home against No. 15 Texas over the
weekend.

The Razorback Spring
Invitational marked the opening
of the 2010 Outdoor season for the
track and field teams. Eighty-six
athletes made the journey and 15
returned with first place honors.
Sophomores Corey Fuller and
Darryl Trotter returned home with
first and second place finishes in the
triple jump. Fuller recorded a dis-
tance of 14.95 meters while Trotter
finished second with a distance of
14.36 meters. Fellow sophomore

a height of 5.40 meters.
Male runners finishing first
included sophomore Donny
Wasinger (3,000M, 1,500M), soph-
omore Keith Hayes (110M hur-
dles) and freshman Austin Bussing
(3,000M Steeplechase).
Junior Iain Trimble made his
2010 debut after an injury derailed
his 2009 season. The thrower fin-
ished atop the javelin standings
with a throw of 64.26 meters.
Senior Brian Bishop brought home
a first place finish with a shot put of
51.65 meters.
A Jayhawk also won the wom-
ens triple jump. Freshmen Andrea
Geubelle placed first in the compe-
tition after jumping a distance of
12.76 meters. Geubelle was joined
by sophomore Jamaica Collins who
finished fourth with a distance of
11.31 meters. Guebelle and Collins
also finished first and fourth in the
long jump with marks of 6.21 and
5.74 meters, respectively.
Runners Kendra Bradley, a
junior, and Tara Grosserode, a
freshman, were the only women
runners to earn first place finishes.
Bradley clocked in at 12.10 sec-
onds in the 100-meter dash, while
Grosserode finished the 800-meter
run in 4:48.61.
Women javelin throwers also fin-
ished atop the standings. Freshman
Heather Bergmann (44.70 m) and
senior Lacey Cunningham (41.04
m) finished first and second
respectively, while junior Amanda
Radovich finished in fourth place
with a distance of 36.73 meters.
In the womens shot put, fresh-
men Micah Wesley finished first
with her distance of 13.64 meters.
Up next for the track teams is a
trip to Austin, Texas next weekend
for the Texas Relays. The event
begins on Thursday, April 1 and
concludes on Saturday.

game winning streak with a 94-84

Troy Murphy scored 21 for In-
diana, which was trying to win six

since 2005. Danny Granger, who
was coming of a career-high 44
points in a home win Friday over
Utah, fnished with 18. He had
averaged 31.9 over the previous

The Kansas tennis team split
matches this weekend, first defeat-
ing Iowa State 4-3 and then losing
to No. 43 Nebraska 5-2.
On her birthday, sophomore
Erin Wilbert led the Jayhawks to
win in singles and doubles against
Nebraska. Wilbert and partner,
sophomore Kate Morozova won the
doubles point and Wilbert won the
only singles point of the day, after
her match went into three sets.
Whether it is the first set, the
second set or the third set you have
to keep that high intensity to com-
pete, coach Amy Hall-Holt said.
I felt we put ourselves out in a
good position today against a high-
ranked team.
The doubles team of Morozova
and Wilbert recorded its third
straight victory.
It feels great, I really like play-
ing with Erin and I think we are
doing really well this season even
if we are playing at the number one
position and playing the really good
teams, Morozova said. I think we
are really competitive.
In her singles match, Morozova
faced Mary Weatherholt, who is
ranked 70th in the nation in singles.
She fell in both sets.
In the second set she was not
missing anything, Morozova said.
She was making a lot of balls and
I was trying really hard, but I could
not do anything. She was playing
really well.
Kansas fought through strong
wind in its second set of matches on
the outdoor courts at home.
I was not really worried about
the wind because we both are at the
same position whether it is point-
ing this way or that way. I was just
trying to figure out on one side I
needed to hit the ball harder and
on the other side I needed to put it
back, Morozova said.
Against Iowa State, Kansas lost
the doubles point but won with
singles victories from Wilbert,
Morozova, freshmen Sara Lazarevic
and Vika Khanevskaya and senior
Kuni Dorn.
On Thursday, the Jayhawks will
travel to Manhattan to take on the
Kansas State Wildcats at 2 p.m.

Redick rolls over Nuggets
associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. J.J. Redick
had 23 points and career highs of
eight assists and seven rebounds
in place of an injured Vince Carter,
helping the Orlando Magic beat
the Denver Nuggets 103-97 on
Sunday night.
Redick was 8-for-15 shooting
and played a career-high 46 min-
utes after Carter sprained his right
big toe. The Magic also got a big
boost with 19 points from reserve
Ryan Anderson for their 13th win
in the last 15 games.
Carmelo Anthony had 26 points
and eight rebounds, and Chauncey
Billups finished with 18 points for
the struggling Nuggets, losers of
four of their past five games.
The Magic broke away from a
tight game with an 18-7 run late
in the fourth quarter. The spurt
included a jumper by Redick that
rolled around the rim four times
until sinking, with Redick laughing
it up all the way back downcourt.
It was that kind of night after
it began with an immediate twist.
Carter left 95 seconds into the
game with the injury, two days
after he sprained his right ankle in
a win over Minnesota. It was not
immediately clear how long Carter
could be sidelined.
His replacement fared just fine.
Redick filled up the stat sheet
with an all-around game that he
has rarely shown in the four years
since he left Duke.

CAP CANA, Dominican Re-
public When Fred Couples
joined the Champions Tour, most
everyone predicted success beft-
ting a 15-time PGA Tour winner
and Masters champion.
Judging from his frst four
events, everyone was right.
Couples won his third straight
start on the 50-and-over tour
Sunday, shooting a course-record
10-under 62 at Jack Nicklaus-
designed Punta Espada for a two-
stroke victory
over Corey
Pavin in the
Cap Cana
Champi on-
ship.
I had a
great stretch
of golf in
1992, said
Couples, who
won three
tournaments, including the Mas-
ters, in a two-month period then,
but I must say that these four
weeks on the Champions Tour
Im not missing many shots.
Couples made 11 birdies in the
fnal round and fnished the tour-
nament at 21-under 195. Pavin
closed with a 66.
It was an unbelievable day,
said Couples, who made fve
birdies in a row from the second
through sixth hole. Te frst six
or seven holes, there was an eagle,
birdies and putts going in from
everywhere.
Te 50-year-old Couples is the
frst player in Champions Tour
history to win three of his frst
four tournaments, and the eighth
to win three straight starts, leav-
ing him one behind the tour re-
cord set by Chi Chi Rodriguez in
1987.
Te ACE Group Classic
and Toshiba Classic winner
afer fnishing second in the
season-opening event in Hawaii,
Couples hasnt had a score
higher than 68 and is 77 under
in 12 senior rounds. He earned
$240,000 for a four-event total of
$931,000.
Couples began the day two
strokes behind Pavin and one
back of Nick Price.
Pavin was the victim of a bad
break when his second shot at the
par 4 14th hole hit a greenside
sprinkler head and bounced 60
yards over the green into a waste
area. He was unable to recover
and made a bogey, losing the lead
for the frst
time since the
seventh hole.
I did a lot
of things that
were very
good out there
today, said
Pavin, who
made an eagle
with a chip-in
at the par-5
sixth hole to tie for the lead, fve
birdies and one bogey, and one
bad break does not make a tour-
nament, but it doesnt help any.
Russ Cochran, never a factor in
the chase for frst place, shot a 67
to fnish third at 14 under. Price,
who shot himself out of conten-
tion with a watery approach shot
and double bogey at the 15th hole,
had a 71 to tie for fourth at 13 un-
der with Tom Pernice Jr. (67) and
Bernhard Langer (67).
In the opening nine holes,
Couples, Price and Pavin made 11
birdies and an eagle.
Couples ran of fve more bird-
ies in a row from the 11-15 and
maintained a one-shot lead over
Pavin when both birdied the par-
5 15th. Of Couples birdies, only
one came from outside 30 feet
and eight came from inside 15 or
less. Couples will play the PGA
Tours Houston Open next week,
then head to Augusta National for
the Masters.
Couples takes third
Champions Tour win
PGA
I did a lot of things that
were very good out there

K-State falls to an underdog
while Butler shows its strength
AssociAted Press
SALT LAKE CITY Every day
they walk into practice, they also
walk onto a movie set the one
where they filmed the story about
the little team that gets its big
chance and lives out the unthink-
able dream.
Thats the story of Hoosiers.
Thats also the
story of Butler
the team thats reminding
everyone that big schools with big
money dont have a monopoly on
everything in big-time sports.
Yes, the boys from Butler did it
getting 22 points from Gordon
Hayward to defeat Kansas State
63-56 in the West Regional final
Saturday and advance to the Final
Four.
Next, the Bulldogs take their
24-game winning streak to
downtown Indy. Though only
five miles from the Butler
campus, its hard to think of
many programs that have
taken a longer, more unlikely
road to get this close to a
championship.
Itd be just as cool if we
moved it to Hinkle, Butler
coach Brad Stevens said of
his teams fieldhouse. Id be all
for that.
No such luck. Still, the fifth-
seeded Bulldogs (32-4) are writing
their own underdog story, even if
they cant really be called under-
dogs anymore.
Shelvin Mack scored 16 and
Ronald Nored and Willie Veasley
keyed an in-your-face defensive
effort on K-State guards Jacob
Pullen and Denis Clemente to
help Butler become the first school
from a true, mid-major confer-
ence to make the Final Four since
George Mason in 2006 a trip
that also ended in Indianapolis.
This is probably the coolest
thing thats ever happened in my
life, Nored said.
Trailing almost the entire game,
No. 2 Kansas State (29-8) rallied
to tie it at 54 with 3:09 remaining.
But Butler didnt fold, it only
got better. The Bulldogs scored
the next nine points to seal the
game before Pullens shot at the
buzzer dropped but offered no
consolation.
It was a great experience, but
it hurts that it had to end today,
Pullen said.
AssociAted Press
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Country
roads, take me home.
Or better yet, Indianapolis.
Its almost heaven, West
Virginia. DaSean Butler and the
Mountaineers are off to the Final
Four for the first time since 1959.
Joe Mazzulla scored a career-
high 17 points in his first start this
season and West Virginia handled
a cold-shooting Kentucky team
stocked with future NBA players
almost from the opening tip for a
73-66 victory in the East Regional
final Saturday night.
Its something weve been
preaching, Butler said. Not even
just two more. Ever since we won
our first game. Five more, four
more, three more. It doesnt mean
anything unless you win the whole
thing.
Mountaineers coach Bob
Huggins, back with his alma
mater, is in the Final Four for the
first time since taking Cincinnati
in 1992. Its an even longer stretch
for West Virginia Jerry West
was the star of the team 51 years
ago, and not yet a Hall of Famer
or NBA logo.
The first day I was here, I told
them I came back to win a nation-
al championship, Huggins said. I
came back to win it for the univer-
sity, having played there, and for
the great people of our state.
Its been a turbulent time for
Huggins since his previous Final
Four appearance. He was forced
out at Cincinnati, had a heart
attack in 2002 and spent a
year coaching Kansas State
before he found the country
roads back to Morgantown
in 2007.
I told all guys I recruited,
we want to win a national
championship, he said. We
need you to be a piece of what
we want to do.
Kentucky missed all eight
threes in the first half and out-
rebounded WVU 29-13. But the
Mountaineers had only three
turnovers after averaging 11.9 per
game this season.
Mazzulla made five of 11 shots
before fouling out late in the game,
but all of them were clutch.
Now, Mountaineers fans will
be singing Take me home,
country roads, all the way to
Indianapolis.

ST. LOUIS The fifth-seeded
Spartans are on their way to their
second straight Final Four and
sixth in 12 years after Raymar
Morgans free throw with less
than two seconds left lifted
Michigan State to a 70-69 victory
over Tennessee in the Midwest
Regional final Sunday.
There is nothing greater than
going to a Final Four that I know
of, Izzo said, except winning it.
No team in the country not
North Carolina, not Kansas, not
UCLA, not Kentucky has been
better during the Spartans run.
And all six of those trips have come
under Izzo, the hard-nosed coach
who preaches defense, rebound-
ing, defense, physical play, and
have we mentioned defense?

HOUSTON Duke is back in
the Final Four, ending an unusu-
ally long absence for coach Mike
Krzyzewskis team and keeping
No. 1 seeds from being shut out of
the title chase.
Nolan Smith scored 29 points
and the Blue Devils returned to
college basketballs big event for
the first time in six years by beat-
ing Baylor 78-71 on Sunday in the
South Regional final, halting the
Bears charming run to college
basketball redemption.
Jon Scheyer added 20 points
for Duke (33-5), which became
the only No. 1 seed to advance to
Indianapolis and earned its 11th
Final Four trip under Krzyzewski.
In the national semifinals for
the first time since 2004, the Blue
Devils will play East Regional
champion West Virginia on
Saturday night. They have won
11 of their last 12 regional finals
under Krzyzewski, but havent
won a national title since 2001.
We played against a great
team, Krzyzewski said. It was
such a well-played game, and we
were fortunate to win.
Smith and Scheyer helped the
Blue Devils offset a poor game
from junior forward Kyle Singler,
who was 0 for 10 from the field
and made only five free throws.
It was the first time in his college
career he failed to hit a field goal.
LaceDarius Dunn had 22
points and Ekpe Udoh scored 18
for the Bears (28-8), whose pro-
gram was in shambles when coach
Scott Drew took over in the wake
of murder and scandal less than
seven years ago.
Drew took the Bears from tat-
ters to the cusp of their first Final
Four appearance in 60 years.
After tying the game for the
12th time on a free throw with
3:36 left, Smith missed his sec-
ond attempt. But Lance Thomas
grabbed one of his nine rebounds
and quickly passed the ball right
back to Smith, who hit a 3-pointer
from the right wing to put Duke
up 64-61.
I just wanted to make the
plays, said Thomas, one of three
Duke seniors. My teammates
know I can make them. I made
it and I just got the ball to our
shooters.
Scheyer, another senior, then
extended the lead to six with his
fifth 3-pointer.
Tweety Carter and Quincy Acy
had 12 points each for Baylor at
Reliant Stadium, where most of
the crowd of 47,492 was dressed in
the green and gold of the Bears.
The long-range shots were the
best for Duke against Baylors
tenacious zone defense featuring
a combination of a 7-footer and a
pair of 6-10 players.
The Blue Devils made 11 of 23
3-pointers (48 percent) and
shot only 11 of 38 from inside
the arc.
With Baylor desperately try-
ing to get the ball back after a
turnover by Carter, there was a
scuffle by the sideline following
a whistle and Acy was called for
a technical foul. Scheyer hit both
free throws, pushing the lead to 10
with 1:19 left.
The fairy-tale ending wasnt
meant to be for the Bears at
least this year.

Senior second baseman Robby Price
The lone senior starter teed of on Baylor
pitching all weekend to lead Kansas ofensive at-
tack. Price went 6-for-13 with two walks, fve runs
scored, and nine RBI including a career-high six
RBI performance on Sunday. He was also sharp
at second base, where he has been a vacuum on
the year with only one error in 109 chances.

Hats of to
Stat of the weekend
Kansas bullpen
Freshman Tanner Poppe threw three and a
third scoreless innings and junior closer Brett
Bochy tossed six scoreless frames to headline the
tremendous efort from the bullpen on Sunday.
Sophomore Colton Murray and senior Wally Mar-
ciel also chipped in to round out the 11 scoreless
innings thrown by the Jayhawk relievers.
That might be the greatest performance by
one of my bullpens in my entire coaching career,
coach Price said after Sundays efort.
Even with all the runs scored, Kansas
had many chances to plate many more.
The Jayhawks stranded 32 total run-
ners on base in the series.

Kansas starting pitchers
In the three ballgames, the three Jayhawk
starters allowed 19 total runs. Thats not going to
get it done in the Big 12. Walz was able to recover
from a rough inning and give Kansas a shot to
win, but both Selik and Bollman were inefective
in their short outings; each was unable to make it
through four innings.
In perspective Series notes
Twenty-nine runs on 42 hits in the series is evidence enough that
the Jayhawks have little issue swinging the bats. But without solid
pitching to support the ofense, victories will be tough to earn for
Kansas. Averaging over eight runs per contest is a great statistic,
but it means nothing if the Jayhawks cant limit the opposition
from the mound. With all three starters failing to produce a quality
start, the bullpen was taxed heavily and did an admirable job in
relief. But the Jayhawks cant expect their ofense to carry the load
every game; the starting pitching needs to improve.
Hot from the nine-spot
Junior shortstop Brandon Macias continued his torrid pace at the
plate, collecting fve hits in the series to boost his average to .260.
Macias had been mired in a slump to begin the season, but is in the
middle of a seven-game hitting streak in which hes gone 10-for-24
with six RBI and three runs scored.
Setting the table
Junior outfelder Casey Lytle has excelled in his role as Kansas
lead-of batter, reaching base at a gaudy .513 clip when he leads of an
inning. On the whole Lytle has been a steady ofensive force out of the
top slot in the lineup, hitting .318 with six steals and 25 runs scored.

Just a little blood
The Jayhawks received a scare when junior third baseman left the
game in the second inning on Sunday. But it wasnt an injury to his left
knee that caused him to miss the frst month of the season, nor was it a
new ailment. Thompson sufered a severe bloody nose, a minor condi-
tion that has plagued him since childhood. Hes expected to be back in
the lineup on Tuesday.

Entering the Baylor series, talk
focused on Tony Thompsons
return to the lineup. But
Thompsons return was overshad-
owed by Brett Bochy in a matter
of eight innings.
Bochy needed to be at his
best in order for the Jayhawks
to grab a 12-6 victory Sunday in
14 innings. After Kansas tied the
game at six in the bottom of the
ninth inning, Bochy entered the
game anticipating only one or two
innings of work.
Instead, Bochy, Kansas closer,
turned in six hit-less innings.
I figured I would only be pitch-
ing one or two innings but then I
knew I would have to get the win
for us, Bochy said.
Bochy has been
solid all season,
especially in the
last few weeks. He
entered this week-
ends series with a
0.66 ERA, one win
and three saves to
lead the team.
His stellar week-
end against the
Bears started Friday
with Bochy heading
into the game in the 8th inning
and the Jayhawks nursing a two-
run lead. When the last out was
recorded, Bochy had pitched
two innings, given up one run,
two hits while
r e c o r d i n g
three strike-
outs.
Really my
goal was to just
go in there and
throw strikes
and help pro-
tect the lead,
Bochy said.
On Sunday
he was at his
best late in the
game. Against a high-powered
Bears offense, Bochy appeared
to get stronger as the game went
on. He faced the minimum three
batters in each inning.
Because of that, Bochy picked
up his second victory of the sea-
son. With Baylor attempting to
take two out of three games from
the Jayhawks this season, Bochy
struck out four and allowed zero
hits.
It was a difference for us to
win today, Bochy said. Wither
we go back home 2-1 or 1-2 in
conference. I would rather have
the first one.

one-third innings of shutout ball.
I couldnt be more pleased with
his performance, coach Price said.
He set the tone for the rest of the
bullpen.
While Poppe was busy shutting
down the Bears from the mound,
the Jayhawks were preparing for a
third comeback in as many days.
Junior shortstop Brandon Macias,
who had two hits on the after-
noon, said after Kansas previous
two rallies he and his teammates
expected to do it again.
I feel like we knew we were
going to come back, Macias said.
Senior second baseman Robby
Price tied the score in the sixth
with a clutch two-out, two RBI
single to tie the score 6-6.
With the game still tied in the
ninth, coach Price handed the ball
to his closer, junior Brett Bochy.
Because the Jayhawk relievers
had been forced to work more
than usual due to the ineffective
starting pitching, Price said he
was unsure of how long hed have
Bochy available for.
We really didnt know if we
could get more than two innings
out of him today, coach Price
said.
Kansas closer was perfect,
throwing the final six innings
without allowing a base runner.
Bochy made quick work of the
Baylor batters, which Price said
was why he was able to keep him
in the game.
He did a really good job mini-
mizing the amount of pitches he
threw per hitter, Price said.
But the offense which had been
so prolific over the weekend still
had to reappear for Kansas to eke
out a victory. And when it did, it
again came with a flourish.
After being held in check since
Prices single in the sixth, the
Jayhawks teed off for six runs in
the top half of the 14th to break
the game open and all but seal the
victory.
Bochy trotted back out in the
bottom half of the inning and
retired the Bears to earn his sec-
ond win of the season.
Kansas gutted out the 14-inning
marathon, which Robby Price said
provided a huge boost in confi-
dence for the club.
Obviously it turned out
alright, Robby Price said. So
well take it.
Macias agreed, saying the road
victories over the Bears will pro-
vide the Jayhawks with momen-
tum.
Hopefully we can just keep
rolling and everything will fall
into place, Macias said.

Portland improves
standing with win
OKLAHOMA CITY Andre
Miller scored 26 points, Brandon
Roy added 20 and the Portland
Trail Blazers beat Oklahoma
City 92-87 on Sunday night to
move into a tie with the Thunder
for sixth place in the Western
Conference.
Oklahoma City trailed by
as many as nine in the fourth
quarter but had a chance to
tie in the fnal seconds. Kevin
Durants 3-pointer with about 7
seconds left came up short of
the front rim, and Miller hit two
free throws with 4.6 remaining
to ice it.
The Blazers have won 11
of their last 13 games to
strengthen their position in the
West playof race. Portland can
clinch a spot in the postseason
with three wins in its last eight
games.
Durant fnished with 29
points for Oklahoma City, which
was coming of an impressive
blowout win against the West-
leading Los Angeles Lakers only
two nights earlier.
The Thunder charged back
to tie it at 84 following Serge
Ibakas two-handed, alley-oop
dunk with 3:55 to play. After a
Portland timeout, Roy got fouled
and hit two free throws, then
Marcus Camby came away with
a steal against Russell Westbrook
and hit two foul shots of his
own.
Durant, who had hit 97 of his
last 100 free throws entering
the game, had a rare miss with
2:57 to play and missed all three
of his feld goal attempts in the
fourth quarter including a
pair of 3-pointers in the fnal 2
minutes.
The Thunder need only four
wins in their last 10 games to
sew up a playof spot.
Portland improved to 14-3
in the second game of back-
to-back sets this season and
has won its last eight in a row,
dating to a loss on Jan. 5 against
Memphis.
