The student vOice since 1904

Kansans have not had a say in which
presidential candidate the Republican Party
endorses for two decades. But on Saturday,
Kansas Republicans will caucus for the first
time since 1988.
Christian Morgan, executive director of
the Kansas Republican Party, said in the past,
elected officials decided which candidate
the Kansas Republican Party would pledge
its delegates to. Morgan said Kansas has not
historically been a caucus state, but that the
Kansas Republican Party is making proac-
tive measures to increase Republican activity
throughout the state.
I cant tell you why Iowa and New
Hampshire have been, but I can tell you why
Kansas hasnt been, Morgan said. There
has always been talk about how Kansas
Republicans are not united and they are
always fighting, but this is a common goal
Republicans have and it is just focused on
making Kansas relevant when picking the
next president of the United States.
Morgan said the Kansas Republican Party
decided to hold a caucus this year to build
and unite the party. He said the party decid-
ed to hold the caucus after Super Tuesday in
a conscious effort to put Kansas caucus in
the national spotlight. Only two other states,
Washington and Louisiana, will hold their
Republican caucuses on Saturday.
Mark Joslyn, associate professor of politi-
cal science, said he expects a large turnout
on Saturday. He said turnout at Republican
primaries and caucuses across the nation
have increased because it is a competitive
race and there is no incumbent.
Joslyn predicted that Sen. John McCain,
R-Ariz., would sweep this evenings cau-
cuses. He said if that did happen, Kansas
would not receive any national attention. If
the vote is fairly even, Joslyn said Kansas
caucus could be influential.
Its hard for me to see national attention
like Nevada or South Carolina got, but theyll
get more attention then they would usually
get, Joslyn said.
Morgan acknowledged the possibility that
McCain could win a majority of the del-
egates up for grabs in tonights caucuses. But
Morgan said even if that did occur, it would
be statistically impossible for McCain to
have already won enough delegates to win
the Republican nomination.
From what it looks like, Sen. McCain,
Gov. Huckabee and Gov. Romney will be
making their way through Super Tuesday
neck and neck, Morgan said. We will prob-
ably continue to see that kind of activity
going into our caucus and the spotlight is
going to be on us for about four days.
Joslyn said if the race was still close after
this evening, the likelihood of the candidates
visiting the Kansas City area would increase.
He also said he expected Kansas Republicans
to support McCain because he is the front-
runner.
Jesse Vaughn, president of KU College
Republicans, said his organization would
attend the caucus as a group, but that the
organization had not yet planned any other
events.
He said the group has been involved in
local campaigns, but it did not usually get
involved in national campaigns until the fall
semester during an election year.
He said once the Republican candidate is
announced, the group would become much
more active.

Governor Kathleen Sebelius said
Monday Barack Obama had not asked
her to run as his vice president can-
didate, but she did not say she would
not consider taking the position if he
asked her to. Sebelius said she was more
focused on Kansas upcoming legislative
issues than she was on Obamas campaign
strategy, despite the fact Sebelius speech
at University of Kansas was the sixth
Obama rally Sebelius has spoken at in
the last week.

CorreCtions
Fridays article University
receives Bird Flu grant contained
these errors:
The article misstated the
amount of a U.S. Department
of Agriculture grant received by
Townsend Peterson, senior curator
at the Natural History Museum and
Biodiversity Research Center. The
grant was $200,000.
The articles subheadline mis-
stated the purpose of the grant.
Peterson said the grant would be
used to gather a working group to
provide recommendations for best
practices of avian infuenza surveil-
lance in North America.
The article misquoted Peterson
on the topic of migration patterns
of birds that spend the winter in
southeast Asia. The quotation said
the birds could mistake western
Alaska for eastern Siberia. Peterson
said the birds were not making a
mistake; the birds consider western
Alaska to be the same as eastern
Siberia, and their migration pat-
terns to western Alaska have been
established for many years.
The article, along with the sub-
headline that appeared with the
article on Kansan.com, said that
Peterson mentioned the possibility
of a Bird Flu pandemic reaching
North America, but Peterson said
he only mentioned the possibility
of the disease spreading to birds in
North America, not to humans.

aolcese@kansan.com
Why did you choose to study
Asia in college?
People always ask me that. I like to
answer that when I was growing up, I
really liked Chinese food. I know that
sounds silly, but I really think theres
something to that. I was always inter-
ested in anything Chinese as a kid,
and luckily for me, I had some really
good teachers that made me want to
study it more.
What do you like about teach-
ing?
I enjoy the subject, so I enjoy teach-
ing it. I also think relatively few stu-
dents come in knowing much about
East Asian history. Its not something
like American History where people
have been learning it for so long that
they know a lot about it already. It
gives me the chance to open students
eyes and stimulate interest.
How long have you been teaching
at the University of Kansas?
This is my sixth year here. I had
actually never been to Kansas before
I interviewed for the position. I was
lucky, because I got one of the best
available jobs.
Where else did you teach before
coming here?
I had taught at Gettysburg College
in Pennsylvania and I had a post-
doctorate fellowship at the School
of Oriental and African Studies in
London. I was there for three years. It
was great to live in London, although
I was poor. Everyone at the school
studied Asia and Africa, so it was
great to be in a place where all the stu-
dents were interested in the subject.
Youre writing a book on the his-
tory of industrial science policy in
Taiwan. What is the title, and when
will it be released?
The title is Origins of the
Developing State in Taiwan. Harvard
Press is releasing it in the spring.
How did you decide on the sub-
ject for your book?
Part of it was that there were lots
of resources available. When I moved
into this project, I actually started
with a different topic in mind. But, I
found lots of sources on this [current]
subject. Its going to be interesting to
people who study Taiwan, since they
tend to be interested in economics
and political development.
Have you written any other
books?
I co-edited a volume of essays
from scholars about Taiwans 21st
century development model. I had
not done anything like that before,
and there were about 12 or 13 papers
to go through. When you work with
that many people, it takes a long time.
It took a while to find a press to pub-
lish the book.

Clowns gather for an
unorthodox memorial
LONDON The men and
women in white face-paint and
polka-dot bow-ties sang hymns
and said prayers as one of their
number rode a unicycle down
the aisle of an austere east
London church.
Brilliantly colored wigs, para-
sols and minuscule hats flled
the nave of Holy Trinity Church
at the annual service in honor
of Joseph Grimaldi, known to
many as the father of modern
clowning. Roly Bain, the clowns
chaplain, blew bubbles from
the pulpit at the service, which
also honored clowns who have
died in the past year.
The Rev. Rose Hudson-
Wilkin, a vicar at the church
who helped organize the
event, said the clowns had a
religious role to play.
In the Bible, in the New
Testament, it talks about us
being fools for Christ and in a
sense they clown around, they
fool around, and they try to
help people see the lighter side
of life, Hudson-Wilkin said.
Grimaldi was born in the
late 18th century, and began
performing publicly at age 3. A
skilled mime, acrobat, magician
and a consummate physical
performer, he popularized
many of clownings trademark
tricks, including thieving long
strings of sausages.
Grimaldi, who died in 1837, is
credited with inventing the white
face-paint and two red triangles
that still grace many clowns
cheeks.
The frst memorial service was
held in 1946 and moved to Holy
Trinity in 1959.
If youre a clown, you know
about it, said Albert Clem Alter,
who traveled to the memorial
from Portland, Ore.

This semester, students are less
likely to get mailbox full messages
in their KU e-mail inboxes.
Thats because Information
Services recently increased the stor-
age capacity from 30 megabytes to
100 megabytes.
In an e-mail sent to all students
on Jan. 30, University represen-
tatives said that the increase was
intended to enhance e-mail use
and enable students to more effi-
ciently manage e-mail, attachments
and related documents.
The increase occurred on Jan. 2.
Bill Myers, director of assess-
ment and outreach for Information
Services, said the last time the
University upgraded storage on stu-
dent mailboxes was in 1999 when
they started using the Microsoft
Outlook Exchange program.
The original size of the mail-
boxes was 30 megabytes.
Myers also said the faculty and
staff have had 500 megabyte capac-
ity mailboxes for a while.
The faculty and staff have con-
sistently needed more space than
students, Myers said.
Because most students do not
use their University account as
their primary one, demand was
not as high for a larger mailbox,
Myers said.
The increase in storage for stu-
dents enables us to accommodate
an increase in demand, should that
come about, Myers said in an e-
mail.
Last fall, the University spent
$400,000 on upgrading the e-mail
service.
Increased storage was the
improvement most noticeable to
users, Myers said.
The upgrade included an
improvement of hardware and soft-
ware.
Students like the new capacity.
Elizabeth Ralls, Mission Hills
sophomore, said the larger capacity
was very convenient.
She said she spent a few days last
semester trying to figure out why
her inbox was full.
Someone had sent her a few pic-
tures that she didnt want to delete.
A further increase to 500 mega-
bytes is planned for March.
The gradual increase helps
Information Services gauge the rate
of usage and helps them decide if
they need to increase it even more
in the future, Myers said.
Ralls said she likes the extra
space and the larger increase in
March may or may not be neces-
sary.
Im doing well with the amount
now, Ralls said.
Kaitlin Nicholson, Lenexa soph-
omore, hasnt really thought about
it, but is happy she doesnt have to
delete every e-mail she gets.
I guess its more convenient,
Nicholson said.

The Business Career Services
Center kicked off its first Business
Career Month Monday afternoon
with a workshop aimed at helping
students develop a resume from
scratch.
It was the first of 11 events sched-
uled throughout February.
The purpose of Business Career
Month is to educate students on how
to find and obtain summer jobs and
internships, Jolene Phillips, assis-
tant director of the Business Career
Services center, said.
Our goal is to get students the
information they need to put togeth-
er a resume and do well in a job
interview before they start the spring
recruiting process, Phillips said.
Two of the events are scheduled
for today in Summerfield Hall.
Students can attend an open house
in room 125 where employers will
review their resumes for tips on how
to improve it or for job consideration
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
A workshop in which students
can learn how to ace their next job
interviews will be offered in room
428 from 4 to 5:30 p.m.
The events are open to anyone,
Jennifer Jordan, director of the
Business Career Services Center, said
but the program is mostly targeted at
students interested in pursuing a
career in business.
In planning the events, we kept
the needs of business students in
mind, but anyone is welcome to
attend, Jordan said.
James Buddig, Hinsdale, Ill.,
sophomore, attended Mondays
workshop and said he would prob-
ably attend every workshop that per-
tains to creating resumes.
The difference I had between
the resume I had before and the one
I have now is phenomenal, Buddig
said. I recommend this program for
anyone interested in applying to the
business school or applying for an
internship.

POLItICS
Bushs proposed budget
may reach record defcit
WASHINGTON The record
$3.1 trillion budget proposed by
President Bush on Monday would
produce eye-popping federal
defcits, despite his attempts to
impose politically wrenching
curbs on Medicare and elimi-
nate scores of popular domestic
programs.
The Pentagon would receive
a $36 billion, 8 percent boost for
the 2009 budget year beginning
Oct. 1, even as programs aimed
at the poor would be cut back
or eliminated. Half of domestic
Cabinet departments would see
their budgets cut outright.
Slumping revenues and the
cost of an economic rescue pack-
age will combine to produce a
huge jump in the defcit to $410
billion this year and $407 billion
in 2009, the White House says,
just shy of the record $413 billion
set four years ago.
The president forecasts a $48
billion surplus by 2012, keeping a
promise he made two years ago
when strong revenue predictions
made it look far easier. Now, hes
relying on spending cuts for
everything from transportation
to Medicare and Medicaid to
nonproft groups that help the
poor to do the job in order to
keep his signature 2001 and 2003
tax cuts intact instead of expiring
at the end of 2010.
Our formula for achieving a
balanced budget is simple: cre-
ate the conditions for economic
growth, keep taxes low and
spend taxpayer dollars wisely or
not at all, Bush said in his budget
message.

BAGHDAD The U.S. mil-
itary said Monday it acciden-
tally killed nine Iraqi civilians
during an operation targeting
al-Qaida in Iraq the dead-
liest known case of mistaken
identity in recent months.
In northern Iraq, Turkish
warplanes on Monday bombed
some 70 Kurdish rebel targets,
the Turkish military said. It was
the fifth aerial attack against
Kurdish rebel bases there in
two months.
Also Monday, 15 suspected
militants were killed in U.S.
raids targeting a possible hide-
out for a senior al-Qaida in
Iraq leader northeast of Bagh-
dad, the military said.
The Iraqi civilians were
killed Saturday near Iskandari-
yah, 30 miles south of the Iraqi
capital, Navy Lt. Patrick Evans
told The Associated Press.
Evans did not say exactly
how the civilians died, but said
the killings occurred as U.S.
forces pursued suspected al-
Qaida in Iraq militants. The
incident is under investigation,
he said.
Iraqi police said the victims,
including two women, were in
two houses in the village of Tal
al-Samar, which was bombed by
American warplanes late Sat-
urday. They were all Sunnis, an
officer said on condition of ano-
nymity because he was not au-
thorized to speak to the media.
The U.S. planes struck after
an American convoy came under
enemy fire in Tal al-Samar and
soldiers called for air support,
the Iraqi officer said.
We offer our condolences to
the families of those who were
killed in this incident, and we
mourn the loss of innocent ci-
vilian life, Evans said in a state-
ment e-mailed to the AP.
The Turkish bombings early
Monday hit the Avasin-Basyan
and Hakurk regions of northern
Iraq, the Turkish military said
on its Web site.
Turkey has frequently targeted
members of the Kurdistan Work-
ers Party, or PKK, in cross-bor-
der raids into Iraq, where thou-
sands of the rebels are based.
The PKK has been fighting for
autonomy in southeastern Tur-
key for more than two decades.
Since Dec. 16, the Turk-
ish military has confirmed five
cross-border aerial raids into
Iraq, though Iraqi Kurdish of-
ficials have reported other air-
strikes. Turkeys military says
the raids have killed as many as
175 PKK rebels.
Adem Uzun, a member of the
rebel command, said 15 to 20
Turkish jets bombed rebel ar-
eas in northern Iraq, according
to Firat, a Kurdish news agency.
Uzun told a Denmark-based
Kurdish television station that
the rebels had not suffered casu-
alties, the agency reported.
The United States which
like Turkey and the European
Union considers the PKK a ter-
rorist organization has cau-
tioned Ankara against a large
incursion into Kurdish areas of
northern Iraq, fearing it could
disrupt one of Iraqs more stable
regions.
U.S. and Iraqi officials said
Monday they will meet later this
month to negotiate future rela-
tions and the long-term presence
of American forces in Iraq. The
U.S. currently has about 160,000
troops in Iraq under a United
Nations mandate that has been
extended on a yearly basis since
the 2003 invasion, but Iraqi of-
ficials have said they will not re-
new it after 2008.
In the raids targeting a pos-
sible al-Qaida in Iraq hideout
northeast of Baghdad, the mili-
tary said it had no informa-
tion about whether the targeted
leader was among those killed or
captured. Eight suspected mili-
tants were detained in the raids.
Separately, 14 al-Qaida linked
militants were detained in other
raids Sunday and Monday in
northern Iraq, including four
suspects seized during an opera-
tion targeting the leader of a sui-
cide bombing cell in the volatile
city of Mosul.
Iraqi police said at least five
Iraqis died in separate attacks
elsewhere, including a Foreign
Ministry attache, Waleed Hai-
them, when gunmen opened fire
on his car in the western Bagh-
dad neighborhood of Mansour.
Two policemen were also
killed when a roadside bomb ex-
ploded on their patrol in north-
east Baghdads Azamiyah area.
And gunmen opened fire on a
bus east of Baqouba, killing two
passengers, police said.
An al-Qaida front group said
in a statement posted on the Web
that it was launching its own
campaign in Mosul, and urged
volunteers to carry out suicide
attacks on U.S. troops, Iraqi Shi-
ites and Kurdish troops.
The Sunni militant group,
known as Mosuls regional com-
mand of the Islamic State of
Iraq, said its campaign would be
a vengeance raid but gave no
details.
Iraqi officials have said a
military push to clear al-Qaida-
linked insurgents from Mosul is
imminent.
Also Monday, criticism
mounted among some Sunni
lawmakers over a new law that
will allow thousands of Saddam
Hussein-era officials to return to
government jobs.

WASHINGTON President
Bushs $3.1 trillion budget pro-
posal includes money to evaluate
Leavenworth as the likely site for a
new Midwestern prison, Sen. Sam
Brownback said Monday.
The budget plan directs the U.S.
Bureau of Prisons to spend about $1.4
million to study construction of the
new prison facility in Leavenworth.
Brownback, R-Kan., and
Leavenworth officials have been
pushing the agency to build a new
maximum security prison near the
citys current facility, which was con-
verted to a medium security prison
in 2005. The site also contains an
adjacent minimum-security federal
prison camp.
The Bureau of Prisons had previ-
ously indicated that Leavenworth was
among several sites in the Midwest
region being considered for a new
prison, but the presidents budget
proposal offers the first public con-
firmation that the agency has settled
on a single site.
The Leavenworth community is
willing and able to house a new fed-
eral prison facility, Brownback said.
The city of Leavenworth for a long
time has been prepared to work with
the Prison Bureau to build and oper-
ate a new prison.
The budget directive does not
specify what type of prison might be
constructed. A spokeswoman for the
Bureau of Prisons could not imme-
diately comment on how long the
evaluation might take.
Local officials have long encour-
aged the development of another
prison to give the city an economic
boost. About 1,900 medium- and
minimum-security inmates are cur-
rently housed at Leavenworth. A new
prison could provide 300 to 350 new
jobs in the community.
Charlie Gregor, executive vice
president of the Leavenworth-Lansing
Area Chamber of Commerce, called
Mondays news a positive develop-
ment in the citys quest to land a new
prison.
Those are good-paying jobs, the
kind of jobs that people stay in and
retire from, Gregor said.
One reason locating the new
prison in Leavenworth makes the
best economic sense, Gregor said, is
because the Bureau of Prisons and
the Department of Justice already
own land near Fort Leavenworth.
If you own the land and you
have two functioning facilities on it
already, that means the infrastruc-
ture is already there, Gregor said.
You would have one warden and
one staff overseeing three facilities
rather than two, so you have econo-
mies of scale.
Bureau of Prisons director Harley
Lappin toured Leavenworth with
Brownback last year and met with
Brownbacks staff to discuss the pos-
sibility of locating a new prison in
Kansas.

WASHINGTON Buoyed by
cheering crowds and bolstered by
more than $1.3 million a day in
TV ads, Democrats Barack Obama
and Hillary Rodham Clinton raced
through the final hours of a Super
Tuesday campaign across 22 states.
Mitt Romney made a late, possi-
bly last appeal to conservatives to
derail Republican front-runner John
McCain on the busiest day in pri-
mary history.
Were going to hand the liberals
in our party a little surprise, boasted
Romney, the former Massachusetts
governor, predicting he would score
an upset in delegate-rich California.
McCain projected confidence
Monday, not only about wrapping
up the nomination but about next
Novembers general election as well.
I can lead this nation and motivate
all Americans to serve a cause great-
er than their self-interest, he said
while campaigning at a fire station
in New Jersey.
Unwilling to leave anything to
chance, both men hastily rearranged
their schedules to make one more
late stop in California, the largest
state, with 170 delegates.
After months on the road, the
wear on the candidates was showing,
and the schedules strained human
endurance.
Clintons voice was raspy, and at
one stop, she struggled to control her
coughing.
Romney had breakfast in
Tennessee, was
in Georgia at
lunchtime, was
touching down
in Oklahoma at
the dinner hour
and was sched-
uled to arrive in
California for a
rally just before
midnight local
time.
All before fly-
ing through the
night so he could attend the West
Virginia state convention on Tuesday
morning.
The Democrats were spending
unprecedented amounts of money
on television advertising. Records
showed Obama and Clinton each
spent $1.3 million last Wednesday
and have been increasing their pur-
chases in the days since.
Obama spent about $250,000 to
run a 30-second ad during the Super
Bowl in selected, less expensive
regions. Clinton bought one hour of
time on the Hallmark Channel for
Monday evening to air a live town
hall meeting from New York.
The prize in each race was a huge
cache of delegates on the biggest pri-
mary-season day ever.
In all, there are 1,023 delegates to
the Republican National Convention
at stake in primaries in 15 states, cau-
cuses in five and the West Virginia
state convention.
Several award all their delegates
to the winner, and McCain was
favored in New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Delaware and his home
state of Arizona, with 251 delegates
combined.
Romney hoped to counter with
victories in Utah and West Virginia,
as well as in a string of caucuses in
Western and Midwestern states.
But his task in several Southern
and border states Arkansas,
Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma and
Missouri is complicated by the
presence of Mike Huckabee on the
ballot.
The former Arkansas governor
was in Tennessee, where he said that
Wal-Mart Republicans knew long
before Wall Street that the econo-
my was headed for trouble. They
were paying more for their fuel and
more for their health care and their
kids education, but their paychecks
werent going up enough to cover all
those things that were costing more,
he said.
In sheer numbers, Democrats
have more at stake than Republicans
15 primaries, and caucuses in
seven states plus American Samoa,
and 1,681 delegates.
They also lack a clear front-run-
ner in the historic race between
Clinton, who is trying to become
the first woman to sit in the White
House, and
Obama, seeking
to become the
first black com-
mander in chief.
The Northeast
was their battle-
ground for the
day, an arc of
states stretching
from New Jersey
and New York to
Connecticut and
Massachusetts.
Apart from Clintons home state of
New York, the polls told a similar
story in each and in Missouri
and California with the former
first lady trying to hold off Obamas
late rush.
Obamas campaign was eager to
claim the underdogs role. Senator
Clinton is certainly the favorite on
Feb. 5, given the huge leads she
has held in many of these contests
throughout the course of the cam-
paign and the political, historical and
geographic advantages she enjoys in
many of these states, Obamas cam-
paign manager, David Plouffe, wrote
in a memo to reporters.
In a conference call with report-
ers, Clinton strategists Howard
Wolfson and Mark Penn predicted
the former first lady would emerge
from Super Tuesday with more del-
egates than Obama. But they agreed
the race is far from over. Many of us
will be making our reservations for
Texas and Ohio
and perhaps
Penns yl vani a
and beyond
that, Wolfson
said, speaking of
contests taking
place in March
and April.
Clintons first
stop Monday
was in New
Haven, where
she graduated
from Yale Law School more than
three decades ago.
Penn Rhodeen, a public interest
lawyer who worked with Clinton
as a student, recalled her showing
up on his doorstep wearing purple
bellbottoms.
It was so 1972, he recalled, prais-
ing Clinton for her longtime interest
in helping children.
Here is the abiding truth we know
you have always been a champion
for children. Welcome home, dear
friend. We are so proud of you.
Clinton briefly grew emotional,
wiping her eyes with her hand. I
said I would not tear up. Already
were not on that path, she said to
laughter.
Obama campaigned in New Jersey
within sight of the Meadowlands, the
home of the New York Giants, who
defeated the previously unbeaten
New England Patriots on Sunday
night to win the Super Bowl.
Sometimes the
underdog pulls
it out, he said,
talking about
himself as much
as a football
team. You cant
always believe
the pundits and
prognosticators.
With so many
states to cover,
and so little time,
the candidates
relied on surrogates to expand their
reach.
Former President Bill Clinton
spoke before a large number of
Hispanic students at Santa Ana
College in California, where he said
he was part of the reason they should
vote for his wife. You know we have
always been there for you, in good
times and bad, weve been there for
California, he said.
Obama campaigned with Sen.
Edward M. Kennedy at his side,
trying to close once-large gaps in
the polls in the Northeast, includ-
ing the senators home state of
Massachusetts.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum of
Pennsylvania, campaigning along-
side Romney, told reporters that if
voters want a conservative as the
nominee of this party, you must
vote for Mitt Romney. Because Mitt
Romney is the only person in this
race that can stop John McCain and
the elite in the party who dont as
much care about those issues that a
lot of folks in Georgia care about.
But former Sen. Bob Dole, the
partys 1996 presidential candidate,
came to McCains defense. Whoever
wins the Republican nomination will
need your enthusiastic support, he
wrote conservative radio host Rush
Limbaugh, who has been critical of
McCain. Two terms for the Clintons
are enough.
Largely overlooked in the chaos
of the campaign was the opening of
voting for Democrats living over-
seas in more than 30 countries. The
first ballots to pick delegates were
cast at midnight in Indonesia, where
Obama lived as a child.

LOS ANGELES A court com-
missioner on Monday extended
the temporary conservatorship of
Britney Spears to her father and an
attorney until Feb. 14 and appointed
a physician to evaluate her compe-
tence to make decisions.
The hearing came three days
after her father, James Spears, and
her attorney, Andrew Wallet, were
granted temporary conservatorship
after Superior Court Commissioner
Reva Goetz ruled that Spears needed
someone to take over her personal
and financial affairs.
Goetzs decision might not sit well
with Spears, who remains in a hos-
pital psychiatric ward undergoing a
medical evaluation. Adam Streisand,
who sought to enter the case as
Spears lawyer, said in court that the
pop star told him her dad shouldnt
be named the conservator of her and
her estate.
She has expressed to me very
strongly that her father not be the
conservator, Streisand said. There
has been an estrangement for quite
some time. With him as conservator,
that is causing her more agitation
and more distress.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Britney Spears got her stay in a psychiatric ward extended Sunday Feb.3, 2008 , as doctors
decided to keep her hospitalized an additional 14 days, someone close to the pop star told the
Associated Press.

As a creative writing major, I
already know Im going to end up
living in a box.
But until then, housing is impor-
tant.
Many of the hottest properties
in Lawrence are available to rent in
August, and student-housing con-
tracts are due soon.
To live on campus or to live off
campus? That is the question.
Ive moved every year Ive been
in college. I started in McCollum,
moved to a scholarship hall (holla
to all the lovely ladies of Sellards),
and have survived a semester off
campus.
I dont regret living in those
places (well, I did hate McCollum
at first, but mostly because of liv-
ing on the eighth floor and having
all the fifth floor people hog the
elevators). All three of them had
their pros and cons.
Student housing is not necessar-
ily cheaper than off campus hous-
ing. What I used to pay to live in
Sellards for nine months lasts me
for 12 months off campus, and that
includes rent, utilities and Internet
(although its much better to be a
victim of ResNet than Sunflower
Broadband. Mott:. Customer satis-
faction NOT included). Also, buy-
ing your own groceries is cheaper
than a meal plan.
Plus, you know where your food
comes from (probably China).
Cost is up to you. You can live
in places cheaper than the dorms
(Meadowbrook Apartments) or
places more expensive (the Trump
Tower). Besides price, you need to
decide what you want most. On
campus, you are much closer to
campus resources like the librar-
ies, the Rec center and the student
unions.
In addition, you can walk to class.
Theres no long commute or deal-
ing with the Parking Department
(which, if youve read my past
articles, you know I have about as
much respect for them as I do the
devil, only Im probably more likely
to sell my soul to the devil because
he can personally guarantee me a
parking spotin hell).
However, some apartments are
close enough to walk to campus or
are on the bus route.
Another positive feature of stu-
dent housing is most of the mainte-
nance and cleaning is done for you
and in a timely manner. Depending
on the management, getting any-
thing fixed can take as long as it
takes to graduate. If you get a newer
place, maintenance is usually not a
problem.
I personally prefer off campus
housing. Minus the commute and
competitive parking, I enjoy going
to a place every night thats not on
campus. Its nice to take a break
from the academic world. I have
my own room, and it is much qui-
eter and less distracting.
I dont feel like Im at a long
summer camp. I have a home to go
to and call mine.
I like having more space and
having the freedom to do what I
want with it.
If Im up late in my room, I
dont wake up anybody but myself
and the voices in my head. I can
also clean whenever I want. In the
scholarship halls, it was stressful
cleaning up after 50 people and
trying to fit my shifts around work
and classes.
Having to share my bathroom
with one person is better than 20.
And theres always hot water.
Regardless of where you live,
you have plenty of options. Keep
looking until you find what you
want.
Excuse me. Ive got to claim the
empty refrigerator box that music
major is eyeing.
Hartz is a Stilwell junior in

Kansas joins 21 other states in
having its Democratic presidential
primary today.
Many voters know about Barack
Obamas rare charisma, and they
rightly consider it when determining
their decision.
Indeed, Obamas oratorical gifts
allow him to frame progressive
issues in a way that is more palatable
to Americans who would otherwise
not accept his left-leaning agenda.
Obama offers policies every bit
as substantive as Hillary Clintons,
and he is better suited to improve
Americas standing in the world.
Obama and Clinton offer very
similar domestic agendas, but
Obamas foreign policy ideas con-
vince me to caucus for him.
The 2002 Iraq War resolution is
history, but Clintons tortured expla-
nations are instructive of her foreign
policy judgment.
In the last debate, she claimed she
voted to authorize using force to give
Bush leverage to get the inspectors
into Iraq. She emphatically claimed
that it was not a vote to go to war.
This echoes Kerrys rather uncom-
pelling argument in 2004.
Clintons vote against the Levin
amendment, which would have
required Bush to return to Congress
for a second authorization to actu-
ally invade Iraq, belies her claim.
Clinton abandoned her respon-
sibility as a senator to check Bushs
rush to war, and her subsequent
attempts to cover it up undermine
my confidence in both her honesty
and judgment.
Obama opposed the war from the
start, in the heat of a campaign and
at a time when more than 60 percent
of the country supported the war.
Clinton called Obama naive
for pledging to meet with enemy
regimes, but shes the shallow one for
assuming that engagement necessar-
ily means harmful concessions.
The most important policy differ-
ence is their stances on torture.
Obama steadfastly and categori-
cally rejects torture and includes his
opposition to it in his stump speech.
Although Clinton has opposed
the Bush administrations tactics (not
exactly a hard call to make), the New
York Daily News wrote, Sen. Hillary
Clinton (D-N.Y.) said she supports
legalizing the torture of a captured
terror suspect who knows about
an imminent threat to millions of
Americans making an exception
to her opposition to torture and
marking a key difference from her
possible rival for the White House,
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
There are major problems with
this position, and they disqualify her
as a candidate.
She concedes that torture can
be an effective interrogation tech-
nique, undermining one of the most
potent arguments against the prac-
tice. Tortured suspects do not give
accurate information, rendering the
stakes of the interrogation irrelevant.
Torture erodes the basic empathy
that underpins ethics.
Clinton runs to the right of McCain
on this issue, and Democrats should
not concede important ground to
the GOP this fall.
Hillary Clinton certainly pos-
sesses diligence and intelligence,
but Obama has demonstrated those
qualities and more.
He matches stirring rhetoric with
sound policy, a combination that
promises to push America in a new
and positive direction, especially in
foreign policy.
For this Democratic caucus goer,
the choice is clear.
Andrew MacDonald is senior in
history and political science.
If youve ever spent a lazy week-
end in Lawrence, its likely youve
heard the unmistakable tapping
that will forever be coupled with
the game Guitar Hero. Its more
than likely that youve strapped on
the plastic axe and clicked along to
a couple of tunes yourself.
Im not alone when I say that
theres something extremely off
about seeing a rock icon who once
stood as a symbol of rebellion for
millions on stage next to a sweater-
clad Bill Gates.
Nonetheless, Bill and the gang
recently unveiled the next chapter
in musical fakery, Guitar Hero III:
Legends of Rock. Gates ushered
in the occasion by parading guitar
legend Slash from Guns and Roses,
out on stage.
Slash appears in the video game
in all of his high-resolution, long-
haired glory, but when he emerged
from the smoke in front of a
10-yard-wide Microsoft logo there
was a noticeable absence of mys-
tique.
I love classic rock as much as the
next guy, and I know that the world
doesnt even turn unless you feed it
a buck, but I cant stand to see the
men who once appeared so godly
on stage pushing products that rep-
resent the very establishments they
fought against in their music. The
hypocrisy is just too great to bear.
Honestly, what have we come to
when Bob Dylan is making cameos
in Cadillac commercials? When
stars prostitute their image to the
highest bidder, they are robbing
the very image they are trying to
sell of its integrity. Rock star rebel-
lion and corporate slogans dont go
hand in hand.
But the commercialization
doesnt stop there.
Anyone with an eye on the music
world for the past few years is well
aware of the resurgence of classic
rock.
Bands such as The Who, Cream,
The Police and the original para-
gons of rock, Led Zeppelin, have
all decided to reunite and have
another go. But seeing all of these
big names lit up on a marquee begs
a simple question: Why are these
bands going back on tour?
Pardon the idealistic binge, but
could they be reassembling to res-
cue music from the rut of rep-
etitious pop dribble thats currently
swarming the radio?
Or could it be that they simply
need another suck off the cash cow
that is rock n roll nostalgia?
As much as Id like to believe it a
noble cause, the reality is that mar-
keters finally realized that when the
members of young rebel generation
grew up, their pockets may have
grown with them.
Some of them are willing to pay
a high price to revisit the sound-
track of their youth.
Thats not to mention the hoards
of new listeners that have been cul-
tivated since the bands originally
split up.
To get true perspective on the
issue, consider who we think of
when we reflect on the great names
of Rock n Roll Past.
Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison,
Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia and John
Lennon seem to all ring a bell.
The alliterated greats of the era
were all burnt into our memories,
not by big name reunion tours but
because the music they made was
honest, and it was good.
It was motivated by a desire to
play and to play well. Money mat-
tered, but that wasnt what they
were playing for.
Maybe it was seeing John Paul
Jones with a buzz cut, or maybe
it was a gray-topped Jimmy Page
who enlightened me to the artificial
nature of resurrected music.
Either way, despite the fact that
the new wave of reunion shows
may lack the spirit of the originals,
when I put my headphones on,
Plant can still wail, and the songs
are as great as ever.
For that reason, I know that the
day Zep decides to tour the States,
Ill be first in line for a ticket.

presidential election
Sebelius campaigns
on campus for Obama
BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
fchambers@kansan.com
Governor Kathleen Sebelius vis-
ited the University of Kansas on
Monday to encourage students to
attend the caucus tonight for Sen.
Barack Obama, D-Ill. Sebelius visit
further supported online rumors
that the she may be Obamas running
mate in the presidential election if
he were selected as the Democratic
candidate.
Sebelius denied having discussed
the matter with Obama, but she did
not say she had not considered it or
whether she would accept the posi-
tion if Obama offered it to her.
Right now, Im focused on
Kansas issues, Sebelius said.
Sebelius also said Obama had to
be selected as the Democratic can-
didate before he could consider a
running mate and that she was doing
everything she could to make that
happen.
Sebelius has made several politi-
cal appearances across Kansas on
behalf of Obama in the past week.
Since then, multiple political blog
sites, including Gristmill.org and
Showmeblog.com have said Obama
might consider Sebelius as a run-
ning mate because of her popularity.
Bloggers said Sebelius could help
Obama win over Republican voters,
especially in Kansas and Missouri.
Many sites equated an Obama-
Sebelius ticket to the Clinton-Gore
presidency.
This is not the first time it has been
rumored that Sebelius would appear
as the vice presidential nominee on
the Democratic ballot. During the
2004 presidential campaign, Sebelius
was said to have been one of John
Kerrys choices. Sebelius told report-
ers then that it was not her time.
Lawrence Bush, a Lawrence resi-
dent who is a self-described political
blog junkie, said there was also a
rumor circulating in the summer of
2006 that Sebelius would be on John
Warners ticket if he ran for presi-
dent and received the nomination.
Warner is the governor of Virginia.
Bush said he had not heard any
recent rumors regarding Sebelius
and the vice president position, but
her support of Obama so early in the
race could be a foreshadow of the
announcement.
I would have thought Sebelius
would be more neutral, Bush said.
I wouldnt have thought she would
come out and support someone until
the actual election.
Bush also said it was telling that
Sebelius did not support Hillary
Clinton. He said he would have
expected a woman to support anoth-
er woman, especially after the back-
lash Oprah received for supporting
Obama.
Sebelius said at the University she
chose to support Obama instead of
Clinton mostly because of Obamas
popularity among young voters.
Several blogs have said Sebelius
would be a good addition to Obamas
campaign because she is a woman,
but Bush said he did not think
Obama would select Sebelius for the
same reason.
It seems to me, the safe bet
would be to have an old, white guy.
Someone who doesnt take away
from the ticket. Someone boring,
Bush said. If Obama put Sebelius
on the ticket, it
would make a
splash.
Bush said he
thought it was
interesting that
the Democrats
chose Sebelius
to respond to the
presidents State
of the Union
address. Bush
said she was very
emotionless and her response did
not impress a lot of people. He said it
could cause Democrats to reconsider
Sebelius heightened role in national
politics.
Sebelius said she knew people
would have liked to see her attack the
Bush administration in her response
speech, but she did not think that
would have been helpful.
I chose to take a more inviting
tone, Sebelius said.
D u r i n g
Sebelius speech
at the University,
she stressed the
importance of a
candidates abil-
ity to govern,
even though
Obama has never
been a governor.
When a student
asked Sebelius
what Obama
would do to get the moderate
Republicans and independents on
his side, Sebelius stressed Obamas
ability to put together a coalition
that will get things done regardless
of red state or blue state, Democrat
or Republican.
Clarissa Unger, state coordina-
tor of Students for Barack Obama,
said she did not have any informa-
tion on the issue but that students
had approached her about the topic.
She said she thought students were
receiving the information from blogs
and comments made by political
commentators.
I think Sebelius would be an
incredible vice president candidate,
Unger said. I think with all the
Obama and Hillary Clinton stuf,
it would be nice to see a woman
in ofce, but I dont think Hillary
Clinton is the kind of woman we
want in ofce. I think Kathleen
Sebelius is the kind of woman we
want in ofce. Shes a strong, incred-
ible leader.

BASKETBALL TICKET PICKUP FOR KSU
AND TEXAS TECH ENDS WEDNESDAY
VICTORY TASTES SWEET
Hawks soar over rival Mizzou
The sounds and smells of late September
tailgates on the Hill have been exchanged
for Allen Fieldhouse campouts. Kansas fans
have turned their collective ire from Lee
Corso to Digger Phelps. Memories of bowl
season have been replaced with the anticipa-
tion of brackets full of March madness.
By all indications, its basketball season.
But for those who insist on a February foot-
ball fix, theres signing day the most over-
hyped and overanalyzed day of the college
football calendar.
When each team formally announces its
2008 recruiting class Wednesday, diehard
fans wont lack for knowledge of the high
school seniors pledged to become Jayhawks,
Wildcats, Sooners or other college teams .
CSTV is planning seven hours of program-
ming full of signing day information. ESPNU
is devoting all of Wednesday afternoon to
covering the commitments. And yes, some
people care intensely. When I tried tracking
down some further info on ESPNUs recruit-
ing info, its Web site read, This site is tem-
porarily too busy to process your request.
Please try again later.
Cant log on over at ESPNU.com? No wor-
ries. Web destinations such as Rivals.com
and Scout.com are devoted almost entirely
to recruiting news at this time of the year,
mainly football. Rivals.com boasts message
boards, national team recruiting rankings,
lists of the top prospects at each position
projected through 2011 and individual biog-
raphies of countless high school players.
This would all be great if the whole pro-
cess wasnt an educated guessing game at
best and a crapshoot at worst. Recruiting ser-
vices cant possibly watch in person each and
every high school player they evaluate. Web
sites are notorious for granting players better
rankings on the basis of which schools are
interested. A glance through some players
biographies would have you believe every
kid in America runs no slower than a 4.55
second 40-yard dash and can bench press
325 pounds.
To see the guesswork and inaccuracy that
goes into scouting the multitude of prep foot-
ball prospects, one doesnt have to look any
farther than Kansas commit lists from the
past few seasons. The Jayhawks 2004 class
was a real bummer according to Rivals.com.
Kansas didnt snag any four-star recruits, out
of a possible five stars. Of the 21-player class,
14 were two-star kids players destined for
mediocrity. Turns out the recruiting service
was wrong because the 2004 class turned out
to be more than average.
Junior Aqib Talib was one of those two-
star recruits, and the cornerback is now
headed for a gigantic pay day and the first
round of the NFL Draft. Junior offensive
lineman Anthony Collins was a two-star
guy, too. Hes also headed to the NFL after an
All-American season. Dexton Fields, junior
wide receiver, who led Kansas with 63 recep-
tions last year, earned just two stars. Junior
Jayhawks tackling leader, Joe Mortensen,
also got the two-star tag.
The 2007 Kansas Jayhawks managed to
finish 12-1 and capture an Orange Bowl vic-
tory with no players Rivals.com deemed five-
star prospects and just two four-star players
freshman wide receiver Ryan Murphy,
who didnt play a single down all season, and
sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb, who
became more famous for his refusal to call
for a fair catch than for any of his positive
attributes. That fact speaks more to the fail-
ure of the recruiting service than it does the
quality of Kansas players, who were able to
match up favorably across the board against
the highly touted Virginia Tech Hokies in
last months Orange Bowl triumph.
If you flip on the TV Wednesday after-
noon or stumble onto some recruiting rank-
ings in the paper later this week, remember
to take everything you hear with a grain of
salt. The too-small, too-slow, two-star player
who goes unmentioned could be an eventual
Orange Bowl MVP and the uber-prospect
who earns five stars and endless accolades
could end up an afterthought.

Orange specks dotted the student section
Monday night, an attempt at an orange out.
The fans who donned the orange shirts
wanted to show their superiority over
Missouri in football, to prove that Kansas
had the better season even though it lost to
the Tigers.
They dont have to resort to those gim-
micks in basketball. No way. Kansas defeated
the Tigers 90-71 Monday night at Allen
Fieldhouse for its fifth victory in a row
against its rival. It ties the amount of consec-
utive victories Kansas had against Missouri
from 2001 to 2003 and is one less than the
six straight the Jayhawks won from 1965 to
1967.
This one came relatively easy.
Kansas showed no signs of offensive slug-
gishness as it did against Colorado. Junior
guard Brandon Rush hit a contested three on
his teams first possession. Sophomore for-
ward Darrell Arthur slammed it home and
hung on the rim on the next. The offense was
so good that senior center Sasha Kaun scored
by pulling on the rim and not even touching
the ball. Twice. This was good old-fashioned
athletic Kansas basketball.
But the offensive blitz and relentless
crowd didnt frighten the Tigers at first. They
were nearly a full team now, with everyone
back from suspension except senior guard
Stefhon Hannah, and they played like it.
Missouri responded to every KU basket with
one of its own until late in the first half.
Thats when Kansas started to pull away.
Rush made another three-pointer. Freshman
center Cole Aldrich made a couple free
throws. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins
and junior guard Mario Chalmers scored on
drives to the hoop. Soon, the Jayhawks were
up double digits and led 45-33 at the half.
The scoring run impressed MU guard
Keon Lawrence.
They were able to do what they wanted
to do, he said, and were more physical
than us.
Perhaps other than Rush, no one may have
been as important to the Jayhawks in the first
half than Kaun. A couple of his baskets were
lucky, but the rest of his game was legit. From
the 17-minute mark to the 10-minute mark,
he scored eight of Kansas 16 points. Kaun
finished with nine in the first half.
The shots were falling, Kaun said. That
helps build up the confidence a little bit.
He was filling in for Arthur off the bench.
Aldrich was doing the same. He grabbed
nine rebounds, five of which were on the
offensive glass.
Cole and Sasha really bailed us out offen-
sively, Self said. Collectively, those guys
were terrific. They really rebounded the ball
and went after the ball.
Kansas outrebounded Missouri 48 to
23 for the entire game. Senior Forward
Darnell Jackson, Arthur, Kaun and Aldrich
all outperformed DeMarre Carroll, Vaidotas
Volkus and Leo Lyons inside. Carroll led that
trio in rebounding, and he had only three
boards.
It would have been close to a perfect
game for the Jayhawks if the guards had
played better. Self wasnt too happy with
their defense. They let Keon Lawrence score
25 points and only got three steals. Self also
said they were part of the reason Kaun and
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
Another double-digit performance for
Brandon Rush. Another victory against
Missouri.
Hoe-Hum.
All that was old news for Rush after
Monday nights victory against Missouri.
Rush had bigger problems. He caught
a few Tiger elbows and his face told the
story.
Im all swelled up in the face, Rush
said. I wont get the girls.
Rushs performance against Missouri
probably made the Kansas City, Mo.,
native feel a little better.
Rush scored 19 points on 7-of-13
shooting and put together another strong
performance against Missouri hes
now averaging 14.1 points per game in
six career regular season games against
the Tigers. Rush did something else on
Monday night. He made more believers
out of those people whove always ques-
tioned his aggressiveness.
Kansas coach Bill Self has been Rushs
biggest critic. Self called Rush out earlier
this season, asking for his junior guard to
be more aggressive. Rush responded and
came into tonights game averaging 12.3
points per game. Still, those words Self
ushered earlier this season might still be
the biggest reason for Rushs consistent
play.
It has everything to do with it, Rush
said about Self s comments. I just dont
want him saying that anymore.
Rushs aggressiveness was on display
Monday night. Rush scored 19 points,
but many of those points came on plays
that would hardly be described as Rush-
esque.
Rush hit a three-pointer to start the
game, then hit sophomore forward
Darrell Arthur mid-stride for transition
dunk to give Kansas a 5-0 lead. Then
Rush did something a little more out of
character. He attacked the basket. With
3:16 to play in the first half, Rush drove
the baseline and scored, giving Kansas a
38-26 advantage. He finished the first half
with 10 points.
To me, hes played pretty good ever
since hes been here, Self said. Hes aver-
aging a little over 15 and a half a game {in
conference play}, and hes only led us in
scoring twice. When you talk about con-

Jayhawks to make season
debut in Hawaii tourney
The mens golf team will be
traveling to Hawaii to compete in
the 18th Annual Hilo Invitational
Golf Tournament. The Tourna-
ment starts Wednesday and ends
Friday.
The tournament is being
hosted by the University of Ha-
waiiHilo at the Waikiloa Village
Golf Course in Kona, Hawaii.
Kansas will be one of 18 teams
competing in the tournament,
which will feature the defend-
ing Hilo Invitational champion
Stanford. Big 12 opponents
Colorado and Oklahoma will also
be competing.
Last year, the Jayhawks fn-
ished 14th out of 18 overall in the
tournament with an individual
best performance by sophomore
Patrick Roth who individually
placed 43rd out of 94 players.
This spring seasons lineup will
be led by juniors Walt Koelbel and
Zach Pederson. Koelbel was the
most consistent player during
the fall season, averaging third
in scoring, as well as completing
two of the top three rounds on
the team.
Pederson will look for more
consistent play this season. Ped-
erson had three top 40 fnishes in
the fall with his best coming with
an 11th place fnish at the Kansas
Invitational.
Freshmen Nate Barbee and
Brad Hopfnger will also look to
be key performers this season
after averaging frst and second
on the team in scoring average.
This will be the frst of six
events this spring for the Jay-
hawks.

ated Press from his home near
Philadelphia, said Monday
night that players win games,
not schemes.
He used the New York Giants
17-14 upset over New England
on Super Bowl Sunday as an
example.
The Boston Herald, citing an
unidentifed source, reported
Saturday that a member of the
Patriots video staf taped the
Rams fnal walkthrough before
the 02 Super Bowl.
The Patriots were two-touch-
down underdogs but beat the
Rams 20-17 for their frst title.

MENS BASKETBALL WRAP-UP
Jon Goering/KANSAN
Junior guard Mario Chalmers tries to throwdown a dunk over a Missouri defender during the frst half of the game. Chalmers drewa blocking foul on the play. Chalmers fnished with 15 points, six
assists and two blocks while turning the ball over only once.
Jon Goering/KANSAN
Greg Schleifman, Arlington, Va. sophomore, cheers during the Kansas game against Missouri
Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks defeated theTigers 90-71. Kansas improved to
22-1 overall and 7-1 in the Big 12.
Jon Goering/KANSAN
Freshman center Cole Aldrich gets ready to take a swat at a shot by Missouri forward Leo Lyons
during the second half of the game. The Tigers tied the game four times, but never had the lead. A
three-point basket by junior guard Mario Chlamers with 14:23 to go in the frst half gave the Hawks a
lead, which they never relinquished.
Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN
A feworange t-shirts dotted the usual sea of blue at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas fans wore the shirts as a reminder of their Orange Bowl victory.
GAME NOTES
Fans celebrate victory over Missouri and
continue to revel in Orange Bowl success
Self on Bob Knight
Imdisappointed for selfsh reasons, Self said. Its like when Barry
Sanders retired fromfootball. He couldnt do that to all the people out
there, retiring that early. Thats kind of howI feel about Coach Knight
because hes great for our league.
Orange Bowl celebration
At halftime, the football teamwas of cially given the Orange Bowl
Trophy, a glass case flled with oranges. Before about half the teamwalked
on the court, the lights went of in Allen Fieldhouse and a highlight video
was played.
Double the pleasure
The Athletics Department played an extra highlight video before the
game started. The P.A. systemwas also set at a louder volume for the
announcements. All of it was intended to get the fans more pumped up
than usual, and it worked. Monday nights crowd was loud.
Mark Dent
Kansas defeated Missouri, 90-
71. The Orange Out was a mod-
erate success. And I had the plea-
sure of sitting in the middle of the
reserved seats, section 115, row 5,
seat 5, with some rabid nonstudent
KU fans.
No one ever sits here, said Lori
Porter, a Wichita resident sitting in
seat 6. How did I end up here?
It all started when the overflow
media section, 13A, was full. So
what would any seatless journal-
ist do? Try to find a way to avoid
going back to the media room.
It tookawhile, but luckily, I found
J.D. Loudabanger, an employee
with the Athletics Department who
tipped me off to something called
an overflow ticket. I nestled into
my comfy seat.
Now, for the first time ever, I
was at a KU game in the reserved
section. From the student section,
the rest of the crowd seems so
tame. But in reality, they love to
yell just as much, just not stand,
at least unless theres a terrible call
or a rare moment of genius that
deserves a standing ovation. Like
when Darnell Jackson blocked a
shot with 42.9 seconds remaining
in the first half.
Woooo! There you go, baby!
one screamed.
Hey, hey! All right Darnell!
came from another.
Lori Porter, who has been com-
ing to games with her husband,
Mike, thinks this is the best team
shes seen since the 1996-1997
squad, one that included five future
NBA draft picks.
To my right was 17-year-old
Tom Fehr, a Leawood resident and
future Jayhawk, perhaps. He wore
a Jayhawk hat, you know, the kind
that makes you look like the mas-
cot.
My mom told me, If you wear
this hat, I will buy it for you, he
said. I was like, all right.
And to my pleasure, I even met
a KU fan from my neck of the
woods: Daney Reed from Austin,
Texas.
BOOOO! he screamed as
Darrell Arthur was called for a
blocking foul, which Reed obvi-
ously thought was a charge. By far,
he was the loudest voice of dissent.
He was just standing there!
So do you like the Hawks or the
Horns? I asked
The Jayhawks, he replied with-
out hesitation.
Are you going to the game next
Monday?
Oh yeah, he said.
His brother in law, Greg Michels
from Emporia, said For him, only
Jayhawk stuff for Christmas.
Its needless to say at this point,
but I was impressed by the passion
of the nonstudents.
But then, there were the stu-
dents, the original topic of my
column until I got so sidetracked.
I wondered what the Orange
Out would be like. Considering
that its hard just to get everyone
to wear blue, Id say it went pretty
well.
I think I wore orange because
they had something in the
UDK, said Garret Prather, a
Wichita sophomore.
And how great was it that the
football team was honored for its
Orange Bowl victory during half-
time of the Missouri game? The
Jayhawk plane exploded a Virginia
Tech helmet on the big screen as
the crowd roared. I hope Amanda
Jobe, a Shawnee sophomore, wasnt
offended. She wore an orange
Virginia Tech shirt to the game.
Really, it was the only orange
shirt I had, she said.
So orange was scattered
throughout the arena, but that from
my comfy reserved seat, only one
group of solid orange stood out. It
was 15 orange T-shirts in all.
No, we werent in a camping
group, said St. Louis junior Ryan
Klamen. We were sitting here, and
then two other groups showed up
randomly.
What better way to end this
than with the best sign I saw at the
game, one that got to the heart of
what the Orange Out was sup-
posed to be all about. The credit
goes to Sam Stepp, a Mission Hills
senior.
Hey Mizzou, the Oranges tast-
ed great!

High / Low
Taking stock of the good, the
bad and the fans
Highs
Rodrick Stewart
Stewarts minutes
diminished after Sherron Collins
and Brandon Rush returned
frominjury. But with Darrell
Arthur in foul trouble, Stew-
art played seven productive
minutes in the rst half and did
a nice job guarding Missouris
6-foot-8 junior forward DeMarre
Carroll.
Orange Bowl trophy pre-
sentation
Now, thats howyou
take a jab at Missouri. Allen
Fieldhouse absolutely exploded
during Monday nights halftime
trophy ceremony.
Easy on the Rims
Darrell Arthur practi-
cally tore the goal o the back-
board in the opening minutes.
The dunk didnt ignite a huge
run, but it did set the tone for
the rest of the night.
KAUN!
The scene fromStar
Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
featuring WilliamShatner yell-
ingKhan multiple times has
become a fan-favorite at Allen
Fieldhouse.

Lows
Missouris box outs
Kansas terrorized
Missouri on the boards. The
Jayhawks had seven oensive
rebounds alone in the rst half.
Arthurs foul trouble
For the second time
in three games, Arthur played
limited minutes because of foul
trouble. The sophomore for-
ward played 17 minutes during
last weeks loss to K-State, and
picked up three fouls in two
minutes during the rst half
against Missouri.
OrangeT-shirts
The idea was good in
theory: Wear orange shirts to
rub Kansas Orange Bowl victory
in the face of Missouri fans. But
the nal result just didnt look
right. The scattered bunches of
orange shirts in the student sec-
tion made it look like a bunch
of Oklahoma State fans just
transferred to Kansas.


-Rustin Dodd
Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN
Tyrel Reed, Matt Kleinmann, Conner Teahan and Jeremy Case check in for the last minute of the game. Kansas had built up a solid lead over
Missouri, winning 90-71.
sistent, thats a sign of consistency.
Hes not having the huge game, but
youre able to pencil in 15.
Rush also gave Kansas a boost at
the defensive end.
Rush, who also finished with six
rebounds, matched up on Missouri
junior guard Matt Lawrence and
held him to zero-for-five shooting
fromthe three-point range and zero-
for-six overall.
He really did a nice job guarding
him, Self said.
Nobody asked Rush about his sur-
gically repaired knee after Monday
nights game the one he injured
last May. Those questions are almost
all gone. Now people are asking him
how he manages to stay so consis-
tent.
Just getting an early start, Rush
said. Just getting my confidence
up.
With the way Rush is playing, its
been tough for his confidence to go
anywhere but up.
Still, Self is ready to put some
more words of motivation in Rushs
head.
I still think he can do a little bit
more, Self said.
Arthur got into foul trouble.
They were quicker than us, Self
said. I shouldnt say that, but their
guards went anywhere they wanted.
Still, Kansas mostly did what it
wanted in the victory just like it has
during its other four victories in the
last two years. This victory over a
rival felt good, especially less than a
week after losing to another major
rival, Kansas State.
Just not quite good enough.
Kansas wants to succeed in both
rivalries and continue to stay atop
the Big 12 rankings.
This is great tonight. Im happy
we won and all that stuff, Self said.
But this doesnt feel as good as that
felt bad. Hopefully we can get a
win in the future that will feel that
good.

JOBS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LUBBOCK, Texas Bob
Knight resigned Monday at
Texas Tech, a stunning mid-
season move by the winningest
mens coach in major college
basketball.
He said he was tired and that
it was best to go ahead and do
it now, Texas Tech chancellor
Kent Hance told The Associated
Press. I think Bob is through
with coaching. I think he got to
the point where it wasnt fun for
him.
Known as much for his fiery
temper as his basketball bril-
liance, Knight gave no hint a
change was coming. He will be
replaced by his son, Pat, a Red
Raiders assistant.
The 67-year-old Knight
informed Texas Tech athletic
director Gerald Myers of his
decision in a meeting around
noon, Hance said. Knight then
called Hance and told him.
He thought about it Sunday
all day and talked to his wife
and decided This is something I
want to do, Hance said.
The Red Raiders beat
Oklahoma State 67-60 on
Saturday, giving Knight his
902nd victory. He won national
titles at Indiana in 1976, 81 and
87.
Knight was not available for
comment Monday, said Randy
Farley, a spokesman for the Texas
Tech basketball program.
The Lubbock Avalanche-
Journal first reported the resig-
nation.
In September, Knight signed
a three-year contract extension
that runs through the 2011-12
season. In
2005, Pat
Knight was
appointed his
fathers suc-
cessor.
K n i g h t
arrived at
Texas Tech
in March
2001, six
months after
being fired
by Indiana
for what school officials there
called a pattern of unacceptable
behavior.
In his first six years at Tech,
he led the Red Raiders to five
20-win seasons, a first at the
school. They are 12-8 this sea-
son, including Knights 900th
victory last month against Texas
A&M.
Texas Techs next game is
Wednesday night at Baylor.
Knight passed former North
Carolina coach Dean Smith as
the winningest Division I coach
Jan. 1, 2007, getting career win
No. 880. To celebrate the mile-
stone Knight chose My Way by
Frank Sinatra, a mantra for how
he navigated his personal and
professional worlds.
Bob is kind of a funny guy.
He always loved that song My
Way, and this is another exam-
ple, Hance said.
Back then, Knight explained
why My Way was so fitting.
Ive simply tried to do
what I think is best, Knight
said. Regrets? Sure. Just like
the song. I have regrets. I wish
I could done things better at
times. I wish I
would have had
a better answer,
a better way, at
times. But just
like he said, I
did it my way
and when I look
back on it, I
dont think my
way was all that
bad.
Knight has
been a college
coach for 42 years. He broke in
at Army in 1965, but made his
mark in 29 years at Indiana.
Hes a complex package, some-
one who can hit a policeman,
throw a chair across the court
or be accused of wrapping his
hands around a players neck, yet
never gets in trouble for breaking
NCAA rules, always has high a
graduation rate and gave his sal-
ary back a few years ago because
he didnt think hed earned it.
Knight got his 100th victory
at Army, then moved to Indiana,
where his Hoosiers went 662-
239 from 1971-2000.
His first NCAA title came in
1976 when Indiana went unde-
feated, a feat no team has accom-
plished since.
He began his coaching career
at Army, at age 24, the youngest-
ever Division I coach.
Knight won 20 or more games
in 29 seasons.

Legendary coach calls it quits midseason
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Texas Tech coach Bob Knight, left, is congratulated by his son Pat Knight following his teams
win over NewMexico Jan. 1. By beating NewMexico 70-68, Knight earned his 880th career win
and broke the Division I mens basketball record he shared with former North Carolina coach Dean
Smith. A spokesman for Texas Tech athletic director Gerald Myers announced Monday that Knight had
resigned, efective immediately.
Famous chair-tossing Bob Knight steps aside as son fills position
I did it my way and when I look
back on it, I dont think my way
was all that bad.

WASHINGTON Not one
of Roger Clemens flat-out deni-
als about using steroids or human
growth hormone was delivered
while he spoke
under oath.
Now he gets
that chance.
The seven-
time Cy Young
Award winner
is scheduled to
give a deposi-
tion to lawyers
from a congres-
sional committee
behind closed
doors Tuesday,
one day after his former New York
Yankees teammate and workout
partner Andy Pettitte delivered
sworn testimony for about two and
a half hours.
Both pitchers private interviews
with staff members from the House
Oversight and Government Reform
Committee are part of preparation
for a Feb. 13 hearing.
That public session is expected
to focus on allegations made in the
Mitchell Report by trainer Brian
McNamee that he injected Clemens
more than a dozen times with per-
formance enhancers.
The 45-year-old Clemens ranks
eighth in major league history
with 354 career
wins. He put off
retirement yet
again in 2007,
returning to
the Yankees in
June and going
6-6 with a 4.18
ERA.
Roger is not going to take the
Fifth Amendment, one of Clemens
lawyers, Rusty Hardin, said in a
statement e-mailed by spokesman
Joe Householder. He is going to
answer the committees questions
truthfully under oath.
McNamee is to appear Thursday.
One of his lawyers, Earl Ward,
said no decision had been made on
whether he would submit to a depo-
sition or transcribed interview.
It is a crime to lie to Congress,
whether sworn
to tell the truth
or not, so the
d i s t i n c t i o n
between the two
has more to do
with the format
of the question-
ing and the con-
fidentiality of
the transcript.
Pettitte, who
chose to be
deposed, did
not take questions from reporters
afterward as he walked from com-
mittee offices to
an elevator in the
Rayburn House
Office Building.
Wearing a pin-
striped gray suit
and bright striped
tie, Pettitte was
accompanied by
his wife and three
lawyers.
At the com-
mittees request, Andy Pettitte vol-
untarily met with representatives
of the committee this morning, and
fully answered all of the inquiries
made of him in
a sworn depo-
sition, two of
Pettittes lawyers,
Jay Reisinger and
Thomas Farrell,
said in a state-
ment. Out of
respect for the
sensitive nature
of these proceedings, and out of
deference to the committees request
for confidentiality, we, on behalf of
Mr. Pettitte, will not comment on
the nature or specifics of his testi-
mony.
Staff members for the committee
declined to comment.
McNamee told former Senate
majority leader George Mitchell he
injected Pettitte with HGH.
Pettitte lent credence to Mitchells
findings by acknowledging two days
after the report was released in
December that he did try HGH for
two days in 2002 to help deal with
an elbow injury.
The committee announced
Monday it will hold yet another
hearing Feb. 12, entitled, Myths
and Facts about Human Growth
Hormone, B-12, and Other
Substances.
The committee said medical
experts will testify about the effects
of such substances.
A former Yankees teammate
of Pettitte and Clemens, Chuck
Knoblauch, spoke to committee
staff Friday.
The day
before, an
employee of the
sports agency
that represents
Clemens and
Pettitte went to
Capitol Hill to
be interviewed.
Mc Na me e
said he injected
Clemens with HGH and steroids in
1998, 2000 and 2001.
Clemens has repeatedly and vig-
orously denied that, including in a
recorded television interview and a
live news conference as well as
through his lawyers.
Clemens did acknowledge he
received injections from McNamee,
but he said they were for vitamin B-
12 and the painkiller lidocaine.
When Mitchell testified at a com-
mittee hearing Jan. 15, he was asked
whether he was still comfortable
with McNamees credibility.
We believe that the statements
provided to us were truthful,
Mitchell said.
McNamee also said he acquired
HGH from former New York
Mets clubhouse employee Kirk
Radomski for Knoblauch in 2001
and McNamee said he injected
Knoblauch with HGH.
Radomski pleaded guilty in April
to federal felony charges of dis-
tributing steroids and laundering
money.
He is scheduled to be sentenced
Friday, then speak to committee
staff on Feb. 12.
Last week, Ward said he believed
Pettitte would tell Congress he dis-
cussed HGH with Clemens between
the 2001 and 2002 seasons.
Ward said Pettitte talked about
HGH with McNamee following a
conversation with Clemens.
Richard Emery, another lawyer
for McNamee, has said the trainer
and Pettitte also discussed steroids
use by Clemens.
The 35-year-old Pettitte, who
won four championships with the
Yankees then helped the Houston
Astros reach their first World Series,
returned to New York last season
and went 15-9.
This offseason, he agreed to a $16
million, one-year contract to play
for the Yankees in 2008.

Game sets all-time record
AssociAted Press
NEW YORK The 97.5 mil-
lion viewers who saw the New
York Giants last-minute win over
the New England Patriots made
it the most-watched Super Bowl
ever and second biggest event in
American television history.
Only the MASH series finale
in 1983, with 106 million viewers,
was seen by more people, Nielsen
Media Research said Monday.
Sundays game eclipsed the previ-
ous Super Bowl record of 94.08
million, set when Dallas defeated
Pittsburgh in 1996.
This years game had almost
all the ingredients Fox could have
hoped for: a tight contest with a
thrilling finish involving a team
that was attempting to make his-
tory as the NFLs first unbeaten
team since 1972.
But the Giants ended New
Englands bid for perfection, 17-14.
Throughout the game, the teams
were never separated by more than
a touchdown.
You might like your equation
going in, but you still need some
breaks going your way, said Ed
Goren, Fox sports president. The
closeness of the game probably
added a couple million viewers to
the telecasts average; the audience
peaked at 105.7 million viewers
between 9:30 and 10 p.m. EST
during the fourth quarter.
Giants quarterback Eli Manning
won bragging rights over his
brother: Last years win by Peyton
Mannings Indianapolis Colts was
seen by 93.2 million people, now
the third most popular Super
Bowl. Manning was set to appear
on David Lettermans Late Show
on Monday, but travel delays in
Arizona pushed his appearance
back to Wednesday.
An eye-popping 81 percent of
all TV sets on in the Boston area
Sunday were tuned in to the game.
In New York, the audience share
was 67 percent.
There were signs even before
game time that Fox could be head-
ed for a record. The opportunity
for a team to make history with
footballs first 19-0 record was a
powerful draw. The Giants and
Patriots also had a tight contest in
late December that drew strong
ratings.
The Giants underdog run had
also captivated the nations larg-
est media market, making up for
the only potential weakness in the
event as a drawing card: the lack of
geographical diversity in the com-
peting teams.
There were past Super Bowls
with higher ratings, topped by the
1982 game between San Francisco
and Cincinnati (49.1 rating, 73
share). That indicates a larger
percentage of homes with televi-
sions were watching the game. But
since the American population has
increased, along with the number
of people with TVs, the actual
number of people watching this
year was higher.
The Giants-Patriots games
actual rating (43.2 rating, 65 share)
was the highest for any Super Bowl
since 2000. That means 43 percent
of the nations TV sets were tuned
in to the game, and 65 percent of
the TV sets that were turned on
were watching football.
The 97.5 million figure repre-
sents the games average viewer-
ship during any given minute.
Nielsen said that a total of 148.3
million watched at least some part
of the game.
Goren said ratings were stron-
ger than usual for Foxs pregame
show, crediting the decision to
add a show biz element with Ryan
Seacrest to a program often usu-
ally only hardcore football fans
could love.
Fox, a division of News Corp.,
charged $2.7 million for 30 sec-
onds of advertising time on the
game, and that may have been a
bargain.
This years Super Bowl was one
of the few if only television
events where more people watched
the commercials than the program
itself, according to digital video
recorder makers TiVo Inc.
By measuring live viewership,
and the number of people who
rewound their DVRs, the most-
seen Super Bowl commercial was
E-Trades stock-talking baby, who
ended a financial discussion by
spitting up, TiVo said.
I didnt see that punch line
coming at all, said Todd Juenger,
Tivos research chief.
In what may be a sign of the
times, TiVos top 10 commercials
featured only one beer ad and four
for either soft drinks or flavored
water.

Olympic sprinter to retire
because of injuries
BeiJinG Maurice Greene
sprang a little surprise on Monday
hes retiring.
Former olympic and world
champion cited nagging injuries
for his decision, making the an-
nouncement halfway around the
globe and not long after the super
Bowl had ended in Glendale, ariz.
traveling in China inspecting
olympic facilities with a group of
contenders for olympic gold, 33-
year-old Greene said injuries forced
him to retire.
its a little sad for me but its
happy at the same time because
ive had a great career. ive done
a lot of great things, Greene said.
For the last couple of years, ive
had nagging injuries that have
stopped my training. so i think its
better to just call it quits.
Greene, native of Kansas City,
Kan., was the dominant sprinter
of the late 1990s and into the new
century. He set a world record for
the 100 meters in 1999 and won
the sprint at the sydney olympics
in 2000.
He won world championship
100 titles in 1997, 1999 and 2001.
at seville, spain, in 99, he won the
200 and 400-meter relay golds in a
rare triple.
Like many sprinters, Greene
could be boastful like a heavy-
weight boxer.
i like to say im the Goat, he
said. the greatest of all time in
my time.
