Student Senate elections begin Wednesday
and candidates are tackling some recurring
issues, such as textbooks and sustainability,
but also introducing new ideas and approach-
es to their platforms.
Annie Vangsnes
Envision
Envision Presidential Candidate Ross Ringer said Envisions key platforms are its cost-reduction plan
for textbooks and its work-for-credit internship program.
Ringer said from the coalitions research, theyve found that students at the University are pay- ing about $1.5 to $2 million more than what they would be paying if professors turned in textbook paperwork on time. KU Bookstores is receiving twice the amount of the paperwork as it did last year because of new regulations from the Higher Education Opportunity Act that enforce stricter dead- lines. However, some paperwork is still turned in late.
The problem is that theres no enforcement mechanism to make sure that professors are really fol-
lowing through with it, Ringer said. Its kind of an empty statement.
Ringer said the coalition wants to e-mail professors to remind them of upcoming deadlines and start a petition to raise awareness among students so they know the efects of the deadlines. Envisions work-for-credit program, Ringer said, would work to make college more afordable by integrating normal classes and full-time internships. It would allow students to be paid for internships,
gain career experience and earn 12 credits, while retaining full-time student status.
To fnd out more about the rest of Envisions platforms go to envisionyourku.org.
KUNITED
KUnited Presidential Candidate Michael Wade Smith said the coalitions key platforms are multi-
cultural engagement and environmental sustainibility at the University.
The coalitions multicultural engagement platform advocates diversity training at Student
Senator orientation and obligates senators to attend a certain number of programs throughout the
year to increase their understanding of multicultural issues.
At KU, we often times say were very diverse, very multicultural, but we dont always represent
that in everything we do, Smith said.
He said the platform would not only focus on having multiculturalism present, but also have
people engaged with it.
Smith said sustainability at the University is another key issue, but that coalitions havent looked
at it in a broad enough sense. He said cooperation with administration is imperative to making
changes and the frst goal is to encourage the chancellor to sign the American College and Uni-
versity Presidents Climate Commitment, which would place the Universitys sustainibility at a top
priority throughout the entire campus. The coalition wants to set up plans for the University to be
fully sustainable within a set number of decades.

KUnited gains student athlete support
OConnor gives inspiration to law students
lecture
By Elliot MEtz
emetz@kansan.com
After holding its fourth annual Student Senate town hall meeting, the
Student Athlete Advisory Committee has decided to endorse KUnited in
the upcoming elections.
The event was held Monday at the Wagnon Student Athlete Center and
featured the presidential and vice presidential candidates for KUnited and
Envision answering questions from about sixty student athletes in attendance.
Were very excited about the endorsement from SAAC, said Michael
Wade Smith, presidential candidate for KUnited. Student athletes play so
many roles, including those of student leaders. I think it says a lot about
our platforms and our leadership style.
Here is some of what the candidates had to say:
roSS ringer
Presidential candidate for envision
Our main goals are to lower the cost of textbooks and create compre-
hensive internship programs for students.
The big reason for high textbook costs is that professors arent getting
their re-adoption forms in on time.
When asked which platform he would push most if forced to choose
one, Ringer said he thought their work for credit internship program was
the most important.
michael Wade Smith
Presidential candidate for Kunited
The new pool is something we need to get done, and the money and
the plans are already there.
We do want to do the textbook rental program. Its a good thing.
When asked which platform he would push most if forced to choose
one, Smith said that KUniteds sustainability platform was the most
important.

The Honorable Sandra Day OConnor speaks at the Dole Institute of Politics on the campus of the
University of Kansas on Monday. OConnor told her story of perseverance and provided advice for
the aspiring lawyers in attendance.
Sandra Day OConnor
delivered an annual
law lecture Monday
By ERiN BRoWN
ebrown@kansan.com
At 80 years old with nearly 25
years experience as a Supreme
Court Justice, Sandra Day
OConnor spoke vibrantly Monday
evening. She talked with a group of
law students, faculty, and practic-
ing lawyers at the Dole Institute of
Politics. OConnor made the crowd
laugh with a few jokes, but also
told her story of perseverance and
determination, rich with advice for
aspiring lawyers.
Its hard to be a good advocate,
OConnor said. You want to make
your arguments flow like a conver-
sation would flow.
Retired Supreme Court Justice
OConnor gave the second annual
Shook, Hardy, & Bacon Center for
Excellence in Advocacy Lecture
Monday night. The lecture took
the form of a fireside chat with
Judge Deanell Reece Tacha of the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th
Circuit.
The Shook, Hardy, & Bacon
Center for Excellence in Advocacy
was established two years ago as a
partnership between the University
of Kansas School of Law and the
law firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon
to promote the study of advocacy
for aspiring trial lawyers. The cen-
ter is intended to create opportuni-
ties for practicing lawyers, judges,
and law students to come together
to discuss issues that are impor-
tant in the practice of law, Gail
Agrawal, Dean of the KU School
of Law said.
Agrawal served as OConnors
law clerk during the 1984-1985
term and said the retired justices
visit is especially important to her.
A visit of a Supreme Court jus-
tice is always a very special event
at a law school, and this is particu-
larly special to me, Agrawal said.
It is very nice for me to be able to
host her here in Kansas and also to
introduce her to our students, and
so many of my friends in the KU
Law community.
OConnor spoke about a variety
of topics, including her day-to-day
life as a Supreme Court Justice, the
importance of cooperation among
the nine Supreme Court justices,
and her first trip to Washington,
D.C. to speak with then-President
Ronald Reagan when she was a
candidate for the next Supreme
Court nominee.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obamas candidates for
the Supreme Court include a new
name, federal appeals court Judge
Sidney Thomas of Montana, and at
least six others who were contend-
ers when Obama chose his first
high court nominee last year, The
Associated Press has learned.
Among the others under consid-
eration are former Georgia Chief
Justice Leah Ward Sears, federal
appeals court judges Diane Wood
and Merrick Garland, Solicitor
General Elena Kagan, Michigan
Gov. Jennifer Granholm and
Homeland Security Secretary Janet
Napolitano.
The president is seriously
reviewing about 10 people as
a potential nominee to replace
Justice John Paul Stevens, who is
retiring this summer.
Seven of those names are now
confirmed to the AP by the admin-
istration.
A senior administration official
said the presidents consideration is
not just centered on the three peo-
ple receiving the most public atten-
tion: Wood, Kagan and Garland.
The official spoke on condition of
anonymity because no announce-
ments have been made about the
people Obama is considering for
the court.
Thomas, 56, of Billings, Mont.,
serves on the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals, the largest of the
nations appellate courts.
He was nominated to the federal
bench in July 1995 by then-Presi-
dent Bill Clinton and confirmed by
the Senate in January 1996 with no
controversy in a voice vote.
He comes from Western roots
born in Bozeman, Mont.,
bachelors degree from Montana
State University, law degree
from the University of Montana.
Thomas worked in private prac-
tice in Billings and was an adjunct
community college law professor
there for years before becoming a
federal judge.
The White House on Monday
quickly ended speculation about
another potential nominee:
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton. Her name had been float-
ed as a possibility by Sen. Orrin
Hatch of Utah, but White House
press secretary Robert Gibbs said
Obama is going to keep her as his
secretary of state.
Obamas list includes three peo-
ple whom he interviewed as final-
ists when the court had an open-
ing last year Wood, Kagan and
Napolitano.

KUganda screening
flm for human rights
tonight, the Ku community
will have an opportunity to
hear a frst-hand account of the
ongoing war and human rights
struggle in uganda.
Kuganda, an on-campus
group involved in raising
awareness about the invisible
Children movement, is host-
ing a screening of the groups
latest flm, GO, as part of its
legacy tour.
invisible Children is a nation-
wide organization dedicated
to using media to infuence the
war in uganda.
At tonights screening,
pepito, a victim of the ugandan
war, will be a featured speaker.
Victims of this war are
known as internally displaced
persons. According to the
united Nations, these people
have been removed from their
homes and are currently living
in camps or other refugee-like
situations. According to the in-
visible Children website, there
are currently 1 million people
in idp camps.
Whats happening in
uganda is a violation of basic
human rights, said Arielle Her-
nandez, president of Kuganda.
it connects all of us.
Hernandez, a junior from
Houston, said that Kuganda
hosts a screening of an
invisible Children flm each
semester.
to hear the stories and
testimonies of these people, it
makes it really real, Hernandez
said.
tonights presentation will
begin at 5 p.m. in the Kansas
room of the Kansas union.

The City Commission vote
on the Lawrence Community
Shelters zoning application has
been deferred until April 20.
If the application passes, the
shelter, 214 W. 10th St., will
move to a larger building at 3701
Franklin Park Cir., near Haskell
Indian Nations University.
We have no space, said Loring
Henderson, the shelter director.
We are crowded beyond belief
here.
However, while staff members
are in favor of the move, many
shelter users are concerned about
how far away from downtown the
new location is.
The current building is between
6,600 and 7,700 square feet. The
new building is about 25,000
square feet, Henderson said.
The current shelter sleeps 53
in warmer months and 76 dur-
ing the colder months. The new
shelter plans to hold around 125
beds.
While space may be the main
issue, Henderson said city politics
have also played a role in instigat-
ing the move.
The city doesnt like where
we are, he said. We are too
near downtown, and they dont
like the fact that homeless
people are seen.
But moving away from down-
town could create issues for the
shelters users.
The lack of public transporta-
tion from downtown to the new
shelter, for instance, could pose
a problem for some, shelter-user
David Mincey said.
If you dont have actual
appointments, you arent going
to be able to get bus passes, and
that would be quite a long walk,
Mincey said.
People might also look to
other outlets for help, said Cathy
Davies, who recently began using
the shelter. Davies appreciates
the help the current location has
given to her and the rest of the
community.
I couldnt have survived the
last month without them, she
said. Theyve been awesome to
me.
However, Davies said people in
need of help might look instead
to churches and other organiza-
tions located downtown before
going to the new shelter located
farther away.
The way the churches and
Salvation Army helps down here,
theres no way someone is going
to go clear out in the country,
Davies said. I just dont see it
happening.
To deal with the location
concerns, Henderson said plans
are in the works for arranging a
bus stop at the new shelter.
Weve met with the tran-
sit authority, and theyre work-
ing hard to give us a bus stop,
Henderson said. They havent
committed to that, but it looks
pretty likely that they will.
It would still be a regular fare,
but the shelter receives money
from the city for bus passes,
Henderson said.
The shelter would transition to
its new location 12 to 18 months
after the application passes,
Henderson said. It depends on
how fast we can raise the money,
he said.
Already, the shelter has been
quietly raising money for the
transition, and shelter staff hope
to start a full public campaign the
day after the approval, Henderson
said.
The zoning application has
already cleared the Lawrence
Planning Commission and will
go to the City Commission next
week for final consideration.

The Lawrence Community Shelter, 214 W. 10th St., will move to 3701 Franklin Park Cir., if the City Commission passes the shelters zoning applica-

users are worried about the shelter moving too far away fromdowntown.

DebATe
(continued from 1A)
He was a delightful man in
every way, she said. That is one
of the most interesting days Ive
ever had.
OConnor grew up on a ranch
in rural Arizona. She received her
bachelors degree in economics
and her law degree both from
Stanford University. She was
working on the Arizona Court of
Appeals when President Reagan
extended a Supreme Court nomi-
nation to her.
I did not seek that job,
OConnor said. I didnt know if I
could do it well enough.
But with encouraging words
from her husband, the late John
OConnor, she accepted the presi-
dents nomination and became the
first female U.S. Supreme Court
Justice.
It is interesting that she
was seemingly so isolated from
Washington, Robert Bombard, a
law student from Boulder, Co.,
said. Her first visit was her trip
to meet President Reagan, and it is
so interesting to me that someone
nominated to the highest court,
until then, had never set foot in
the nations capitol.
OConnor also shared with the
crowd how she landed her first
job out of law school, and gave
advice about pursuing job oppor-
tunities.
These are tough times, she
said. Its hard to get jobs.
When OConnor graduated
from Stanford Law School in 1952,
law firms did not hire women. She
had two degrees from Stanford
and still, she claimed, no law firm
in California would give her an
interview.
She sought out the San Mateo
county attorney and volunteered
to work for free until a job became
available. About four months later
she had her own office and a
paycheck.
That is what I tell young peo-
ple today, OConnor said. You
may have to be a little creative
in getting that first job, but its
OK, make something of it and
enjoy it.
OConnor also spoke about
the retirement of Supreme Court
Justice John Stevens to come at
the end of the summer and her
hopes for cooperation among
members of congress.
Were at a time when theres
so much controversy in the con-
gress, OConnor said. I hope
that we dont end up at odds with
the selection of a new member of
the court.
Above all, OConnor empha-
sized to young lawyers the impor-
tance of an independent and
impartial court to the country.
Under our system of gover-
nance as we know it we have had
one safe place and that safe place
has been the courtroom, where it
is possible for any citizen to have
a fair and independent decision
made by qualified decision mak-
ers, OConnor said. We cant let
that go.

Apollo 13 fight
CHiCAGO Surviving Apollo
13 astronauts and several fight
directors reunited on Monday to
remember a failed moon mission
40 years ago this week that they
managed to turn into one of the
greatest triumphs in the history
of space exploration.
those who gathered included
Apollo 13 commander James
lovell, fellow crew member Fred
Haise and NASAs legendary fight
director, Gene Kranz all three
of whom were immortalized in
the 1995 movie Apollo 13, which
starred tom Hanks as lovell.
theres truly a unique bond.
there is a brotherhood, Kranz
said about how the crisis forged a
lifelong bond between everyone
involved.
the Adler planetarium, where
the reunion took place, is holding
a series of events this month
commemorating the Apollo 13
fight. One exhibit includes a
lunar helmet and gloves that
lovell was supposed to wear on
the moon had the mission gone
as planned.
On April 13, 1970, an oxygen
tank exploded as the spaceship
was four-ffths of the way to the
moon. the crew, which included
Jack Swigert, who died in 1982,
was forced to scrap the moon
mission and focus solely on get-
ting back to earth alive.
lovells calm if unsettling
words to Mission Control follow-
ing the explosion that, Houston,
weve had a problem now
widely recited as, Houston, we
have a problem belied his
quick internal calculation that
their chances of survival were
slim.
But you dont put that in your
mind, he said Monday. you dont
say how slim they are but rather
how you can improve the odds.
in Houston, Kranz led hundreds
of fight controllers and engi-
neers in a furious rescue plan. He
insisted on Monday that he never
allowed himself to believe that
the plan could fail.

GET A ROOM...
BY ZACH GETZ
zgetz@kansan.com
When people buy sugar from the
grocery store, rarely do they con-
sider more than the cost and color
of the two-pound packages.
But that disconnected approach
to consumerism is what Lawrence
Fair Trade hopes to change.
The group wants to raise
Lawrence residents awareness to
the economic and social injustices,
such as low wages and unsafe work-
ing conditions, of farmers across the
globe who do not receive the ben-
efits of fair trade practices. Brady
Swenson, a 2002 KU alumnus and
member of LFT, said this issue is
still largely unknown to the general
public.
To help make the concept of
fair trade more well known in the
city, Lawrence Fair Trade will be
screening a film, The Price of
Sugar, at 7 p.m. at Liberty Hall, 644
Massachusetts St. The documentary
is free, but there is a suggested dona-
tion of $5 that will go to Lawrence
Fair Trade to pay for the cost of the
screening. After the film, there will
also be an open discussion.
The film takes place in the
Dominican Republic and follows
Father Christopher Hartley as he
travels through the country in order
help expose the injustice used to
produce sugar that oftentimes ends
up in U.S. kitchens. Swenson said
she hoped the movie will open the
eyes of those who are unfamiliar
with where and how the U.S. gets
its sugar.
The most important first step
is to educate yourself on the reali-
ties of the production of goods you
consume every day, Swenson said.
Just knowing where all these things
come from really goes a long way
to start to change some habits, and
every little bit helps.
According to TransFair USA, a
fair trade certification group, fair
trade promotes environmental sus-
tainability, safe working conditions
and condemns child labor practices.
Fair trade also seeks to ensure the
producers of goods earn a fair and
living wage. While there is no exact
definition of fair trade, there are
several companies that give certifi-
cation to those that abide by these
rules.
Sugar isnt the only commod-
ity plagued by poor trade prac-
tices. According to the Fair Trade
Federation, clothing, coffee, cotton,
fruit, rice, wine and other hand-
made goods are also highly affected
by unfair trade agreements that try
to take advantage of small produc-
tion farmers and producers.
Its an incredibly complicated
issue because it really goes to the
root of our entire commercial struc-
ture in the world, Swenson said.
We dont see where they come
from. We just see the advertising
and marketing for them, then con-
sume them.
Sarah Stern, fellow LFT member
and a freshman from Lawrence,
said she wasnt surprised more peo-
ple werent aware of the unfair trade
practices going on in America.
Big companies are in charge,
and they are going to do their best
to make sure its not hugely pub-
licized, Stern said. I think that
wouldve been one of the last ques-
tions I wouldve thought of, where
did this sugar come from?
Stern said her eyes were opened
to the world of fair trade after talk-
ing with people selling fair trade
Bolivian scarves on Wescoe Beach
last semester.
Swenson said several businesses
in Lawrence sell fair trade prod-
ucts, including Mirth, 745 New
Hampshire St., and Signs of Life,
722 Massachusetts St.
However, fair trade isnt the only
option businesses employ to ensure
just work practices from their
suppliers. PTs Coffee Roasting
Co. in Topeka supplies some of
Lawrences coffee shops with direct
trade coffee beans.
Direct trade coffee bean suppliers
buy directly from farmers, rather
than through a distributor. The ben-
efit of direct trade is that farmers get
paid much more than market price
or even fair trade price, and in turn
suppliers get a much better product,
said Stephen Seitz, a PTs employee.
Direct trade buyers will also often
invest in the farmers community,
Seitz said. PTs Coffee Roasting
Co. teaches farmers new growing
practices, as well as gives farmers
access to medicine or help with
schooling.
One of the more interest-
ing things we did in on our direct
trade trips to Finca Los Planes, El
Salavador is we bought jerseys for
their soccer team, Seitz said.
The best thing consumers can do
is just ask for fair trade products or
to simply ask where and how the
goods are produced, Swenson said.

Dow Jones closes
above 11,000 mark
NeW yORK the dow
Jones industrial average has
closed above 11,000 for the
frst time in a year and a half on
investors rising hopes about
the economy.
the dow edged up about
9 points Monday to almost
11,006. the Standard & Poors
500 index came within a point
of hitting 1,200 but closed just
short of the mark.
Analysts said the dows move
above 11,000 could provide a
psychological boost and per-
haps draw more investors.
there is a huge stockpile of
cash on the sidelines earning
virtually nothing, said Jack Ab-
lin, chief investment ofcer at

LOS ANGELES Wayward late-
night entertainer Conan OBrien
finally has found a home, and its
not on Fox television.
Unable to reach a deal to clear
an 11 p.m. EDT time slot with Fox
Broadcasting Networks affiliates,
the former host of NBCs Tonight
Show has decided to sign with cable
network TBS to act as a lead-in for
George Lopezs Lopez Tonight.
OBriens new hour-long show,
yet to be titled, will run on TBS
Mondays through Thursdays at the
11 p.m. slot, both in the Eastern and
Pacific time zones. It ends his search
for a programming home nearly
three months after he left NBC.
In three months Ive gone from
network television to Twitter to per-
forming live in theaters, and now
Im headed to basic cable, OBrien
joked in a statement. My plan is
working perfectly.
TBS, also known as Turner
Broadcasting System, is a Time
Warner Inc. company.
The announcement came as
somewhat of a surprise, as OBrien
was thought to be hammering out a
deal with Fox, the one major broad-
cast network
without a late-
night talk show
in its lineup.
But Fox affili-
ates have resisted
the idea, prefer-
ring instead to
show syndicated
reruns during
that hour
such as its own
animated series
The Simpsons
or products of
other networks,
such as The Office. (Fox, like
MarketWatch, is a division of News
Corp.)
So OBrien has turned to another
alternative after leaving the Tonight
Show on NBC.
OBrien left that show in a much-
publicized dispute with the net-
work after it decided to abandon
Jay Lenos prime-time experiment.
Leno moved out of his longtime seat
as Tonight Show host to front a 10
p.m. program
leading into
local newscasts.
Leno failed to
catch on with
viewers, and so
was moved back
to his traditional
11:30 p.m. time.
NBC wanted
to give Leno a
half-hour, and
offered to keep
OBrien as host
of the Tonight
Show at mid-
night. But OBrien declined, and his
tenure as the Tonight Show host
ended after less than eight months.
Lopezs show will be moved back
by one hour to make room for
OBrien, TBS said.

PASADENA, Calif. A year ago,
Chris Colfer was just a kid from
Clovis, Calif., who got his first pro-
fessional acting break with a role on
a new Fox TV show about the trials
of a high school glee club.
Now hes a star thanks to the
popularity of Glee, the top-rated,
critically acclaimed series that took
home this years Golden Globe for
best comedy and musical.
The response to Glee has been
huge, especially for Colfer. Hes
had to hire two publicists to juggle
the requests for interviews, photo
shoots and public appearances.
Thats what happens when you
are part of a show that becomes a
phenomenon.
There has been so much atten-
tion for everyone on the show we
have bonded together, sort of like a
good hostage situation, Colfer says
at a Fox party at the Villa Sorriso
restaurant. But when it comes to
the attention from the press, I dont
know if you can ever get used to this
kind of attention.
Whats brought Colfer all of
the attention is his character Kurt
Hummel, who has a flamboyant
fashion sense and precarious emo-
tional connection to his father.
Despite the large cast, the shows
writers have developed Kurts char-
acter, giving Colfer the chance to
shine with a wicked performance of
Defying Gravity and a memorable
performance of Beyonces Single
Ladies.
Hes curious about how his role
on Glee has been received with
a certain group. Smiling, he jokes
about counting the days until his
10th high school class reunion.

T
he Great Recession has
spawned unemployment
fgures not seen in 30
years. Te cases of families facing
foreclosure continue to mount.
Despite discussion of a developing
recovery, economists who sounded
unheeded alarms before the spec-
tacular crash warn we arent out
of the woods yet. Nonetheless, the
task of learning from the fatal faws
of the past economic system falls to
our generation the chance not
only to recover, but to truly thrive is
in our hands.
Unfortunately, we dont have too
many positive examples to follow.
Tus far, few members of the politi-
cal class have gleaned much useful
wisdom from the crisis. Te New
York Times recently juxtaposed
statements of a bipartisan group of
lawmakers at the supposed peak of
the turmoil with their views today.
Noticeably absent from the com-
ments is the sense that the recession
provided an opening for robust
regulatory reform.
Once again, big government
touted as the problem.
Even President Obama has said
policymakers shouldnt begrudge
the masters of the universe for their
swashbuckling ways.
Underscoring their eagerness
to resume business as usual, frms
that were bailed out have largely
ignored the executive compensa-
tion reforms proposed by pay
czar Kenneth Feinberg, according
to Te Washington Post.
For many, recovery will mean
returning to what economist
Torstein Veblen called conspicu-
ous consumption. As Wall Street
wizards dream up new fnancial
products beyond the obscure
collateralized debt obligations and
structured investment vehicles
things will get humming. As they
return to the Wild West, the barons
of fnance will once again stock up
on $1,400 trash cans.
Or is it possible that the dol-
drums of the national economy
have prompted a fundamental re-
thinking of social values? Purveyors
of optimism look to our generation,
the Millennials.
In a recently released survey
of Millennials attitudes, the Pew
Research Center found an age
group less refexively opposed to af-
frmative government the notion
that the public sector can be a force
for good, helping alleviate social
ills and rein in the excesses of free
markets.
One might surmise that a gen-
eration largely supportive of gov-
ernment as a countervailing force
to business would be less impressed
with frms reaping gargantuan
profts and hedge funders raking in
billions in annual compensation.
If only. Te study found Millen-
nials to be no less likely than other
age groups to attach signifcant
importance to working in a
high-paying career. Even among
those who dont see wealth as a
noble end in itself, there is no
reason to believe we wont witness a
shif in values.
Te mass protest movements
of the 1960s were animated by the
fervent idealism of college students
who advocated a more conscien-
tious society and a penetrating
mode of living, as Wellesley
College graduate Hillary Rodham
put it in her 1969 commencement
speech.
Many of those activists, however,
could later be found running in-
vestment banks and griping about
the capital gains tax. It seemed that
buying into the corporate culture
was simply a sign of maturity, on
par with getting a mortgage or buy-
ing a Cadillac.
If such small-minded reversions
to the greed-is-good, more-is-better
mindset are to be headed of, action
must start with the Millennials
and what better place to teach the
necessary lessons than universities?
In a widely discussed 2009 essay,
Harvard President Drew Gilpin
Faust lamented the rise of the mar-
ket model in higher education.
Universities no longer ofer depth
and breadth of vision. Instead they
are expected to demonstrate their
utility in leading to a fat paycheck.
Tats not too surprising, given
the inexorably increasing cost of
education yet another reason to
rethink national priorities.
In the case of national recovery,
Father probably doesnt know best.

Arrogance makes bad politics
L
awrence has begun re-
enforcing a $50 habitual
violator ofense fne for
those who acquire fve or more
parking tickets within a month.
While this ordinance has reason-
able merit, downtown businesses
need to try and fnd ways to better
help employees with parking
grievances.
Te ordinance was passed in
1996, but up until March, the $50
additional fne was not enforced.
Citations for expired-meter
violations are $3 and if you fail to
pay the ticket within fve days, it
will result in a fne of $15. Once
someone receives fve or more
tickets within a 30-day period, the
habitual citation will be issued.
While those who frequent the
downtown area should be respon-
sible for paying for parking and
pay for tickets if they do receive
one, this additional fne negatively
afects people who work down-
town and do not have time to pay
the meter while at work.
Millie Bartkoski, a sophomore
from Basehor, is an employee of
Noodles & Company, 8 W. Eighth
St., and knows how tickets can
build up.
I get a parking ticket every
time I have an afernoon shif. By
that point I see no reason to really
have a job since a good chunk of
my check would go to just paying
my parking fnes, said Bartkoski.
Because of the lack of long-
term parking meters, it is
assumed that employees have
enough time while on the job to
run out and feed the meter, but
that is just not the case. Busi-
nesses need to start allowing their
employers time within a shif to
go out and pay the meter. Even
though this new ordinance largely
afects employees, some business-
es downtown are showing their
disapproval of the fne.
In the city commissioners
meeting on March 30, Britches
Clothing Co., 843 Massachusetts
St., owner Jeremy Furse presented
a petition with more than 700
signatures and 100 businesses that
asked for the $50 habitual fne to
be abolished. In his statement,
Furse called the ordinance, puni-
tive and detrimental to the busi-
nesses located in the downtown
area.
Safety also becomes an issue.
Parking in the garages gives
downtown employees an option
other than parking meters, but
walking to a car in a parking ga-
rage afer dark can be dangerous.
Te group this ordinance im-
poses on is downtown employees.
Most consumers who visit down-
town Lawrence are aware of the
two-hour meters and they have
time to monitor their parking
spots. Tey should be responsible
for their cars and watch their me-
ters. Busy employees do not have
that same luxury.
While this ordinance does
provide revenue for the city in
a time of budget cuts, employ-
ers need to be more sympathetic
and reasonable when it comes to
allowing their employees time to
feed the meter.

requiring study abroad would
help Ku, state and country
What if every undergraduate
student at the University, as a part
of their degree, studied abroad for
a summer or semester?
Te University likes to boast
that over a quarter of undergrads
study abroad (11th among public
universities in 2008): Each person
adding a life-changing, resume
building, career inspiring experi-
ence and great friends they might
not otherwise encounter in their
time as Jayhawks.
Ive gone on two amazing trips:
for Italian in Florence, Italy, last
June and for Travel Writing in
Costa Rica during the frst half
of January; Tis July I will do the
Pre-law Institute in Cambridge,
England. Clearly, I believe in the
advantageous nature of taking my
education out into the world.
Having people go abroad does
even more. For our country, it al-
lows the citizens of other nations
to relate to us good, tolerant,
hard-working and hopeful, yet
fallible, like anyone else what-
ever their feelings about our
political leaders may be. For our
state, it creates workers who have
a better understanding of partici-
pating in a global economy.
Requiring every KU student to
study abroad would take time and
need to meet two objectives: one,
making the cost for a summer or
semester no more expensive, if
not less, than living and taking
classes during the same period in
Lawrence, and two, not slowing a
students timeline for graduation.
Tis is an enormous under-
taking fnancially (especially
considering the current climate)
and administratively for the
University unprecedented by
any school of comparable size. It
is just the kind of outside-the-box
education, however, that not only
attracts students, but also would
make graduates some of the best
in the United States.
Chancellor Gray-Little, what
do you think?
Tyler Holmes is a junior from
Overland Park, Kansas.
O
ne of the most attrac-
tive attributes of the
2008 Obama campaign
was the idea that, if Obama was
elected, the U.S. would fnally be
able to improve relations with
other countries.
Obama rode on the swelling
support of this issue by taking
his campaign to Europe. Tere,
he promised a renewal in
American-European relation-
ships.
Te hope and the change were
certainly present, but once again,
we have learned that results paint
a very diferent picture. Earlier
this month, the liberal-leaning
polling group Democracy Corps
came out with a poll that showed
by a 10-point margin 51 per-
cent to 41 percent that Ameri-
cans think the U.S.s international
standing has dropped during the
frst 13 months of the Obama
presidency.
Two years ago, the election
provided Obama with the plat-
form to call the U.S. unpopular
in order to gain popular support.
And now, Americas relation-
ships seem worse than they were
before he took ofce especially
with our allies.
As one of his presidential acts,
Obama sent a bust of Winston
Churchill, which had been a
gif to the White House, back to
the U.K. Much fuss was made
about this symbolic gesture, and
rightfully so. A headline in the
British newspaper Te Telegraph
read, Barack Obama has sent
Sir Winston Churchill packing
and pulse rates soaring among
anxious British diplomats.
Ten, just last week, a report
from the House of Commons
Foreign Afairs Select Commit-
tee suggested that the U.S. and
Britain should no longer refer to
themselves as sharing a special
relationship.
Recently, Obama humili-
ated Benjamin Netanyahu, the
Prime Minister of Israel, one
of our most important allies.
First, Obama refused to pose for
pictures with the Prime Minister,
then, afer failing to get the
Prime Minister to sign an
agreement, Obama walked out
on the meeting and lef Netan-
yahu alone for dinner.
One Israeli newspaper called
the meeting a hazing in stages,
poisoned by a great deal of mis-
trust. Another said the Prime
Minister had received the treat-
ment reserved for the President
of Equatorial Guinea.
Tis wasnt the frst time
Obama has snubbed an allied
leader. It is said that Obama
slighted French President Nicolas
Sarkozy by failing to accept an
invitation to lunch afer a D-Day
ceremony last June.
Relations with our most
important economic ally,
China, have also taken a hit. Last
month, Yang Jiechi, the Chinese
Foreign Minister, said rela-
tions between the two nations
had been seriously disrupted.
He pointed the blame for the
troubled relationship directly at
Washingtons policymakers.
It seems as though the only
foreign leaders praising Obama
are Hugo Chavez and Fidel
Castro. Cubas Castro called
the passage of health care law a
miracle and Venezuelan dictator
Chavez cheered Obamas nation-
alization of General Motors.
Perhaps its no wonder that
Americans believe the U.S. is
losing its world standing under
this administration. Te people
recognize the importance of our
alliances and want our leaders to
focus on keeping them strong.

ment and an attitude of arro-

Except this time hes not just
resting a tired arm hes out
for the season after undergoing
Tommy John surgery, a type
of reconstructive elbow surgery,
over the weekend.
Obviously, its a devastating
loss for our team and one that
will not be easy to overcome,
coach Ritch Price said.
With the Jayhawks dominant
closer shelved, theres suddenly
a large hole to fill at a position
that had been a constant. So its
a good thing for Kansas that
Poppe and fellow hard throwing
reliever Colton Murray are up
to the task.
I think we can do something
special also,
Poppe said.
Its a tough
loss but weve
got to keep
going.
Mu r r a y
agreed, but
said that
t h o u g h
Bochy isnt
able to pitch,
his presence as a mentor to the
younger pitchers will still pay
huge dividends.
Hes going to help me con-
trol myself he wont let me get
too hyped up, Murray said.
Murray, a sophomore, has
more experience of the two.
He made 33 appearances last
season, going 2-3 with a 3.23
ERA. This season hes pitched a
total of 17 innings while strik-
ing out 21.
Poppe has been used in a
number of roles for Kansas this
season. The freshman began
the season making two mid-
week starts, but recently has
seen plenty of time out of the
bullpen, either in long relief or
late game situations. In total,
hes 2-2 with a 2.79 ERA in 12
appearances.
What the two have in com-
mon, however, is the need to
consistently throw strikes to be
effective. Both began the year
troubled by inaccuracy, and got
off to somewhat shaky starts.
Of late, each pitcher has settled
in, and now
they contin-
ually find the
strike zone
with two of
the hardest
fastballs on
the staff.
Mu r r a y
said he had
been too
a g g r e s s i ve
early in the season and, as a
result, was overthrowing his
pitches. He said the solution
for tempering his aggression on
the mound was actually pretty
simple.
Just breathe, Murray
laughed. To tell you the truth,
thats all it really is.
Even though each said hed
prefer to have Kansas coast to
victory tonight, they both are
ready should the opportunity to
play present itself.
Just whatever the team needs
I like to be out there and pitch
and help the team win, Poppe
said.

missouri State is at home after being swept by
missouri Valley conference for Bradley
this past weekend. After being shutout
7-0 in the frst game of the series, mis-
souri State lost the last two games in
late innings, 6-4 in game two and 9-8 in
game 3.
Beau Stoker
in the last game between
these two teams, Stoker
preformed played a key role
for the Bears in a 7-6 loss. His
three rBi game helped the
Bears stay with the Jayhawks
until the late innings. Despite the
strong game against the Jay-
hawks on march 31st, Stoker has
struggled against other teams
this season. His 21 total hits is the
second lowest in the Bears starting
lineup.
How will the Bears come out in this
game after being swept?
The Bears are dead last in missouri Valley
Standings with a 1-5 record. With a win, they
will have tons of momentum heading into a bye
week on their schedule.
9-5 Home record for missouri State
269 strikeouts recorded by mis-

Andrew Hammond
kansas (19-13-1, 3-5-1) went into this weekends series against no. 6 Texas on some-
what of a tear, but sufered a three game sweep its frst since last march. The last
time the Jayhawks faced the Bears was on march 31 at Hoglund Ballpark, where
they staved of a late rally and held on for the 7-6 victory.
Senior frst baseman Brett Lisher
lisher was one of a handful of Jayhawks to have a solid ofensive
weekend in Austin. lisher had a hit in each ballgame, includ-
ing a three game efort on Friday, and also blasted his
frst home run of the season. prior to the series in Texas,
lisher was mired in an 0-for-18 slump in Big 12 play.
The Jayhawks need lisher to continue to slug in the
middle of their lineup.
How will Kansas bullpen respond to the loss of Bochy?
Bochy was putting up All American-caliber numbers as the
Jayhawks closer, so replacing him will be no easy feat. But murray
and poppe have been sharp lately, and theyll need to continue to
improve going forward. The Achilles heel for both is control. They
both have electric stuf each boasting a fastball in the mid-90s
but are only truly efective when they can consistently fnd the
strike zone.
15-1 kansas record when leading after eight innings
0.78 Bochys erA
3.95 poppe and murrays averaged erA
After dropping three straight in Austin to
no. 6 Texas, kansas needs to get back in the
win column. missouri State played them
tough last time out, but by all accounts
this is a very winnable game. especially
with another tough Big 12 road series
looming this weekend, the Jayhawks
need a victory tonight.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
you know what Im most proud
of? What Im most proud of, and
I dont know if anybody from the
surgery can say this, but I pitched
13 years after the procedure and
I never missed a start. I had not
one iota of trouble. Id like people
to remember that about me, too.
Tommy John

the operation to repair the ulnar
collateral ligament in the pitch-
ing arm is now called tommy

C
onsider, for a moment, the fre-
quency at which verifiable star
players are traded in the NFL.
After much pondering, you probably
came to the conclusion that the answer
lies somewhere between rarely and never.
Any other offseason, you would be cor-
rect.
But not this off season. Heck, not this
last two weeks.
Donovan McNabb, long the face of the
Philadelphia Eagles: Shipped off to in-
division rival Washington.
Odd as that trade looks, it doesnt
appear downright crazy. Its not, for
example, the sort of thing the artificial
intelligence in Madden 98 would reject
outright.
It certainly isnt trading a Super Bowl
MVP who, at 26, is coming off of his best
season. But thats a ridiculous example,
clearly born of either a hyperactive imagi-
nation or some severe mental disorder.
Such a player would never could never!
be traded.
Actually, hold that thought.
Santonio Holmes won a Super Bowl
MVP, is 26 years old, and collected 1,248
receiving yards last season. And the
Steelers just traded him to the Jets.
But clearly, for such a trade to happen,
Pittsburgh must have received something
spectacular in return. Maybe the Jets
offered up a kings ransom of draft picks,
similar to what the Vikings gave the
Cowbows for Hershel Walker.
Actually, Pittsburgh will receive only a
fifth-round pick as compensation.
And some impact player? Darrelle
Revis? Bart Scott?
Try nobody. Not one player. Pittsburgh
gets a fifth round draft pick. Thats it.
Thats all.
From this, we can infer one of two
things: 1. Either everyone in the Steelers
front office has gone insane; or 2. There
are reasons for trading Holmes other than
on-the-field concerns.
As it happens, option number two is
correct. And the reasons in question are
substantial.
First, Holmes was just nailed with a
four-game suspension for violating the
leagues substance abuse policy. Were he
to violate that policy again, hed have to
miss the entire season.
That, by itself, is problematic. But it
probably isnt enough to get Holmes dealt.
No, but the fact that hes accused of
assaulting a women by throwing a glass of
juice in her face might be (the glass also
cut her), especially when considering Ben
Roethlisbergers recent troubles.
Finally, we come to the question of les-
sons. Or more accurately, are there any?
For teams, perhaps. Maybe more deci-
sion makers will hesitate to take on play-
ers with character concerns, so as to
avoid this situation altogether.
How about Holmes? What does he
and by extension, other misbehaving
players learn from all of this?
Judging by the consequences hes
incurred, Holmes lesson is that drug use
and alleged assault get you traded from
one AFC contender to another, even bet-
ter equipped to win.
Thatll teach him.

is pretty impressive, Grove
said.
Grove attributed much of
the teams success to all three
freshmen who were in the
lineup today. Gilbert; Alex
Gutesha, from Greenwood
Village, Colo.; and Dan Waite,
from Surrey, England, com-
bined to shoot 7 strokes under
par.
The lone senior in the rota-
tion, Bryan Hackenberg, from
Denver, shot a 74 and a 73
to finish the day in a tie for
22nd place. Rounding out the
rotation was Blake Giroux, a
sophomore from Omaha, Neb.,
who shot a 78 and a 74.
Missouri is in third place
and on even par for the day.
Kansas is just seven strokes
behind the Tigers and 12
strokes behind the first place
leader, Kansas State.

two-run homer after his two-out
foul popup was dropped by
detroit frst baseman Miguel Ca-
brera, sending the Kansas City
Royals to a 10-5 win Monday
and ending the tigers four-
game winning streak.
Guillen took advantage of
Cabreras error for a go-ahead
homer in the fourth inning.
Scott Podsednik had four hits,
including a two-run single that
helped the Royals pull away.
Luke Hochevar (1-0) won
despite allowing fve runs in
fve-plus innings.
After the tigers took advan-
tage of a throwing error by
second baseman Chris Getz to
score twice in the third, the Roy-
als got help in rallying to score
four times in the fourth.
Kansas City took control with
three runs of Brad thomas in
the sixth. yuniesky Betancourt

In a team that features a new coach, new uniforms
and new players at many of the skill positions, one
returning player stands out as someone who brings
talent and experience to the Jayhawks backfield.
After losing two-year starter Jake Sharp to gradua-
tion, its time to hand the ball off to sophomore run-
ning back Toben Opurum.
Opurum is getting ready this spring to add on to
his impressive breakout freshman season that unfor-
tunately ended with a leg injury.
I wouldnt say I am 100 percent right now,
Opurum said after Fridays practice. I am not going
to lie to you about that, but I am out there running
through some stuff.
Opurum has been working to get healthy again
and practicing with a new look offense that will fea-
ture a new quarterback and a larger variety of forma-
tions.
We say this every year, but I think we have the
potential to have a lot of depth with what were
doing. Opurum said.
Kansas will certainly have depth next year at run-
ning back. In addition to Opurum, senior Angus
Quigley, junior Rell Lewis and freshman Deshaun
Sands are all running backs on the Jayhawks roster.
Incoming freshmen Brandon Bourbon and James
Sims also will compete for playing time this season.
However, Opurums numbers from last year make
him stick out from the pack and indicate that he has
the potential to be the star of the offense for the next
three seasons.
Despite having to split carries with Jake Sharp last
season, Opurum led the team in rushing, becoming
the first freshman to accomplish the feat since Clark
Green did it in 2002.
Opurum has work to do if he wishes to match
what Green did his second year. Green, who earned
honorable mention All-Big 12 in 2003, rushed for
nearly 1,000 yards his sophomore season.
Opurums 554 yards and nine touchdowns last sea-
son were good enough to be named to the All-Big 12
freshman team by Rivals.com.
I am feeling pretty good right now, Opurum said.
Obviously, there are a lot of new things that I need
to pick up on, but I think everything is going well.

Freshman Tanner Poppe said
he hopes tonights game against
Missouri State isnt a repeat of the
March 31 matchup at Hoglund
Ballpark. But
just in case it is,
hes ready.
The Jayhawks
looked to
be coasting
towards a victo-
ry in that game,
as they carried a
comfortable 7-1
lead heading
to the eighth
inning. But with
regular closer Brett Bochy resting
a tired arm, Kansas had to turn
to untested relievers to close out
Missouri State.
The move didnt work out as
well as planned. The Bears rallied
for three in the eighth, and two
more in the ninth before Poppe
got the final two outs to save the
7-6 victory for the Jayhawks.
Hopefully its not as close as it
was last time, Poppe said. Weve
been in a ton of close games lately,
so hopefully we can string togeth-
er at bats and
pitch well and
we wont have
to be in that
situation.
Even though
Poppe and his
t e a mma t e s
hope for a
more decisive
finish tonight,
the circum-
stances are
similar: Kansas (19-13-1, 3-5-1)
wont have Bochy available if they
need to nail down a victory in the
final innings.

Kansas Athletics announced Monday that its lawsuit
against Larry Sinks, the owner of Joe-College, and Victory
Sportswear, the stores merchandise provider, has been
resolved. Neither will have to pay the damages and legal
fees accumulated in the trademark-infringement lawsuit.
In 2008, a federal judge found Joe-College guilty of
willfully infringing on Kansas Athletics trademarks and
ordered the company to pay $127,337 in damages to
Kansas Athletics Inc. Last year, a judge awarded Kansas
Athletics Inc. more than $650,000 in attorneys fees.
In exchange for not paying, Joe-College made an agree-
ment that prohibits them from making or selling merchan-
dise that infringes on Kansas trademarks, including using
the school colors with words that identify the University,
student-athletes or faculty members. Products without
school colors that bear words connecting the product to
the University are also legally forbidden under the agree-
ment.
We are extremely pleased that we can now put this case
behind us, Athletics Director Lew Perkins said in a state-
ment. We did not want to initiate this lawsuit, but it was
important to protect KUs trademarks from infringement
and dilution. The jury correctly ruled that the defendants
willfully infringed on our marks, and we hope the action
we took serves notice that we will take all due action to
protect those marks.
Joe-College, 734 Massachusetts St., closed its doors on
March 31. Online sales were also halted.

Day one is done for the Jayhawks at
the Mizzou Intercollegiate in Columbia,
Mo., and, with 18 holes to go the
Jayhawks, sit in fifth place. Without
Nate Barbee, the teams lowest scorer
and a junior from Dakota Dunes, S.D.,
Chris Gilbert, a freshman from Simi
Valley, Calif., stepped up to catapult the
Jayhawks to their position among the
field of 15 teams.
I was pretty proud of the way the
guys played without Nate today, coach
Kit Grove said, Its always tough to play
without your number one player.
Barbee is out with a back injury and is
being rested for the Big 12 Championship
later this month.
Nate is a real competitor and he
wanted to be here, Grove said. But I
had to put my foot down and keep him
at home. His health is the number one
concern.
Gilbert did his best to fill the void
and came up with a 74 and a 68 in the
first two rounds. Gilbert is in 6th place
individually.
Chris played really solid today and

Despite absence of 'team leader,' banquet closes out season in good fun

It was the way the season should
have ended, but the Jayhawks didnt
have their most important piece.
Senior guard
Sherron Collins
was not pres-
ent at the teams
season-endi ng
banquet Monday
night at Holiday
Inn because
he was signing
paperwork for
his new agents,
Andy Miller and
Justin Zanik.
Collins and junior center Cole
Aldrich tied for the Danny Manning
Mr. Jayhawk award, but Aldrich
would have rather had his teammate
present to share the award.
It would have made the night a
little more special just because weve
had a great three years together,
Aldrich said. But I understand.
Coach Bill Self said the agents told
him that Collins, who had to fly to
Chicago, would be back in time for
the banquet. His
flight didnt arrive
in time.
Regardless of
the team miss-
ing its leader, the
night was full of
positives since its
bitter exit from the
NCAA tourna-
ment. The video
highlights and the
applause by the
crowd reminded freshman guard
Xavier Henry the fans still live for
the crimson and blue.
The season didnt end as we
wanted, Henry said, but they still
love us; they still show they care.
Thats all we ever wanted.
Self, who was full of jokes and
quips about everyone, said life has
been better since the NCAA tourna-
ment ended because there is finality
to the season.
And he made sure everyone was
laughing.
He joked about Tyrel Reeds claim
about being the most athletic player
on the team, yet failed to dunk all sea-
son. He called out Jordan Juenemann
for leaving a timeout during a game
this season to impress a girl. And he
coined a new nickname for Tyshawn
Facebook Taylor.
It was full of some embarrassment,
but a lot of pride after summing
up what the team accomplished this
season. Self said it was a good night
for all who came.
Its a feel good end to the season,
he said. Im sure our players enjoyed
it, and the turnout was awesome.
