teach for america
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
rburchfeld@kansan.com
Twelve University of Kansas
students will join the Teach for
America corps next year and work
to end educational inequality in the
United States. Teach for America
employs seniors and recent gradu-
ates to work for two years to help
raise the quality of education in
low-income areas across the coun-
try.
Whitney Walden, Teach for
America recruitment director, said
that getting into Teach for America
was a very competitive process and
that the programs acceptance rate
had gone down in the last year.
We had about a 20-percent
acceptance rate last year, and this
year around 36,000 people applied,
Walden said. This year our accep-
tance rate has gone down because
of competitiveness.
Bill Walberg said when he found
out three weeks ago that he would
be teaching middle school math
in Kansas City, Mo., for Teach
for America, it was the biggest
excitement of his life. Because only
approximately 4,500, or 12 percent,
of those 36,000 who applied got
accepted to the program, Walberg,
El Dorado Hills, Calif., senior, said
he was extremely honored.
Teaching math wasnt Walbergs
first choice, but Teach for America
placed him in that subject area
because of a lack of teachers and
because students were often behind
in the subject.
From what Ive heard from
friends already in the program
teaching kids math, theyre about
two to three grade levels behind, so
even in sixth grade theyll be at the
third-grade math level, Walberg
said. Ill be catching kids up in the
course of one year getting them
up three grade levels or more.
John Babcock, Holton senior,
will also be teaching middle school
math in Kansas City, Mo. He said
he hoped to take math a subject
that was notoriously and histori-
cally known as boring and make
it as interesting as possible for his
students. He said that he was excited
and nervous at the same time to
begin teaching and that he couldnt
wait to see the students improve.
The best part will probably be
the first sign of success, of improve-
ment, after working so hard,
Babcock said. To see students be
so excited about their success and
learning that will be the first real
12 among the few hired by non-proft
caleb sommerville/kansan
kristen Watkins, lenexa senior, John babcock, holton senior, and bill Walberg, el dorado hills, calif., were among the 12 KU
students selected to work for Teach for America next year. Teach for America employs seniors and recent graduates to teach in low-income areas.

Authentic, homemade Indian
food will be a feature of KU
Cultural India Clubs fundrais-
ing dinner tonight. The dinner
starts at 7 p.m. at the Ecumenical
Christian Ministries and tickets
are $10.
Amruta Bhadkamkar, Mumbai,
India, junior, is president of
KUCIC and has been a member
for two and a half years. He said
KUCIC would donate the funds to
one or two charities that alleviate
poverty in India.
One supports the education-
al and personal development of
Adivasis, the indigenous tribes of
India, and the other is Save-A-
Mother, an organization working
to reduce maternal mortality in
India.
If we dont collect enough
money to split, we will choose
an organization after the dinner,
Bhadkamkar said. But for now,
we are hoping that well be able to
help both the organizations.
Sudarshan Loya, Aurangabad,
India, second-year graduate stu-
dent, said the charity for the
Adivasis provided medical aid and
schools for Adivasis living in the
Vidarbha region of India, where
those services wouldnt otherwise
exist.
We are in a very secure coun-
try, but there are people around
the world who only have one meal
a day, Loya said.
Bhadkamkar said the charity
for the Adavasis was started by
Prakash Amte, an Indian social
activist, 30 years ago. The Adivasis
are undernourished and living
below the poverty line without
good roads and electricity, he
said.
For us students, $10 in
exchange for good food would not
make or break us. But for these
people, the same amount would
mean more than a months worth
of good food, medicines or other
hygienic materials, Bhadkamkar
said.
Varsha Desai, Gujarat, India,
Becoming a Teach for America corps member is a two-
month interview process open to students of all majors. The
process can be broken down into three steps.
1. Applicants submit an online application with their
resum and two 500-word essays. The topics of the essays are
Why Teach for America? and Describe an obstacle you have
overcome.
2. Next comes a 30-minute phone interview with a Teach
for America representative.
3. Following the phone interview is a full-day interview
where applicants present a fve-minute sample teaching
lesson, engage in group discussion, do a problem solving
activity and have a one-on-one interview with a Teach for
America staf member.
After the last interview, applicants wait two to three weeks
to hear Teach for Americas fnal decision.

Do you think all the money being spent on new athletic

Tutu Lee is running for student
body president. To get his girlfriend
back.
At least, thats what he says in a
YouTube video released March 24.
The video, which describes student
politicians as sycophantic resum
builders before leading into a mon-
tage of Lee and his vice presiden-
tial candidate, Rahul Desai, shoot-
ing handguns in a field, already has
more than 1,000 views.
He has not yet been approved to
run by the elections commission,
but Lee, Overland Park senior, said
he didnt need the elections com-
mission to approve his candidacy.
He said his bid for the presidency
would not be the typical Student
Senate campaign.
We dont need to fucking park
ourselves on Wescoe Beach and
harass people like were selling fuck-
ing Girl Scout cookies, Lee said.
Thats absolutely insane. Theres no
common sense in that, but thats
what characterizes these elections.
Ask Lee why he is running for
Student Senate and you prob-
ably wont get a
straight answer.
Hell tell you
he doesnt care
about Senate
and he doesnt
care about the
student body
and he defi-
nitely doesnt
care about the other coalitions.
Im running in a sense, because I
came to this epiphany, this recogni-
tion, that in order to do good some-
times you have to engage in the evils
of this world, and I think Student
Senate most certainly deserves that
description, Lee said.
Lee, however, has been involved
with Senate since he came to the
University through various cam-
paigns and also comments fre-
quently on Student Senate articles
on Kansan.com.
I think
he has been
involved with
it because he
does care, said
Jack Connor,
Overland Park
senior and Lees
former room-
mate. Say what
you will about it being a stunt or
whatever, but hes still running for
Student Senate. If he didnt care
about it I dont think he would be
doing it.
Connor, off-campus senator,
said he thought Lee, a quantitative
psychology major, understood how
to run elections better than almost
anyone else in Senate.
He always has an objective in
mind, Connor said. In some ways
hes the most rational person I know.
He can completely think through a
problem and find the most reason-
able answer.
Lee said this campaign was no
exception. When asked if he was
being deceptive or duplicitous, Lee
responded without hesitation, yes.
I am being completely manip-
ulative and everything Ive done,
this entire campaign is, I would say,
nominally well thought out.
Lees campaign has already
raised suspicions within University
administration as well as discom-
fort among the student body. They
said specifically that they were con-
cerned with the presence of guns in
Lees YouTube video.
KU spokeswoman Jill Jess said
the University did not condone the
content of Lees video, but respected
his First Amendment right to pro-
duce it.
Its violent, said Sarah Bluvas,
Atlanta junior and elections com-
mission chair. If you see someone
saying they want to run for a public
office and then spending two or
three minutes on a video that you
post online, that anyone can watch,
at a shooting range, it raises ques-
tions. It makes you wonder what is
this person really capable of.
After conversations between
members of the elections commis-
sion and the vice provosts office, a
decision was made to have a police
officer sit outside an elections com-
mission meeting last Tuesday and
the Senate meeting Wednesday.
Lee said he didnt intend for the
guns to be intimidating or scary, but
instead as a way to show something
unique about himself that he enjoys.
When asked to sum up his cam-
paign, to define a purpose, Lee will
still avoid giving a straight answer.
I know you have to wrap it up.
You have things to do, Lee said. You
want a message, a mission state-
ment, Tutu Lee thinks this. Doesnt
work this way. Here, write this: Im
confused. Tutu Lees confused. He
doesnt know whats going on. Tutu
Lees confused. Or: Im a mystery.
An enigma. Wrapped in a riddle.
Lee plans to appeal on Tuesday
the elections commissions decision
to not allow him to run for student
body president.
Lees video can be seen by
searching YouTube for Free State
Campaign Red Band Trailer.

CARTHAGE, N.C. A
gunman burst into a North
Carolina nursing home Sunday
morning and started shooting
everything, killing seven residents
and a nurse and wounding at least
three others.
Robert Stewart, 45, of Moore
County, was charged hours later
with eight counts of first-degree
murder and a single charge of
felony assault of a law enforcement
officer. Authorities offered few
other details, allowing only that
Stewart was not a patient or an
employee at the nursing home,
and isnt believe to be related to
any of the victims.
Its a horrible event in any size
town, particularly, though, when
you deal with a small town such as
Carthage, said Police Chief Chris
McKenzie. Its hard. This is my
home, my small town. I was born
and raised here so, yeah, I take it
to heart a little bit. All you can do
is move forward.
Authorities said
Stewart began his
rampage around
10 a.m. at Pinelake
Health and Rehab,
a nursing home in
the North Carolina
Sandhills about 60
miles southwest of
Raleigh. A police
officer, 25-year-old
Justin Garner, was
also wounded before Stewart was
shot and apprehended.
Sen. Harris Blake, a Moore
County Republican, said six
people were killed at the scene
and two died later at a hospital in
nearby Pinehurst. He said sheriff s
officials told him that Stewart
comes in and just starts shooting
everything around.
The victims were identified as
residents Tessie Garner, 88; Lillian
Dunn, 89; Jessie Musser, 88; Bessie
Hendrick, 78;
John Goldston,
78; Margaret
Johnson, 89;
Louise Decker,
98; and nurse
Jerry Avent,
whose age wasnt
i mme d i a t e l y
available.
G r e t c h e n
Kel l y, a
spokeswoman at FirstHealth
Moore Regional Hospital in
nearby Pinehurst, said six people
were brought to the hospital from
the nursing home. Two died, two
were discharged and two were still
being treated. She wouldnt release
further details on the injuries or
conditions of those hospitalized.
Late Sunday afternoon,
authorities appeared to be
conducting a search of the nursing
homes parking lot, which they
had blocked off with yellow police
tape. Among the items they found
was a camouflaged-colored rifle or
shotgun, which was leaning against
the side of a Jeep Cherokee.
The road leading to the home
was filled with parked cars, both of
police and relatives of those living
at Pinelake. Howard McMillian,
of Lakeview, said he raced to the
scene as soon as he heard about
the shooting. His 56-year-old
sister lives at the nursing home,
and McMillian said his brother
had gotten a call from officials
saying she was unharmed.
I know shes real nervous,
McMillian said. I just want to
make sure shes OK.

Elizabeth Roybal, 2007 gradu-
ate, is a second-year member of
the Teach for America corps in Las
Vegas. She works as an eighth-grade
English and publications teacher at
Dell H. Robison Middle School and
called Teach for America one of the
hardest things she has ever done.
Youll certainly get confronted
with a lot of experiences that youre
maybe not prepared for, Roybal
said. Going into it, my advice
would be to just keep going and no
matter what, work your hardest and
never stop always do what is in
the best interest of the students.
Roybal said what kept her going
was the 150 students she taught.
Theyre counting on me to
teach them information that theyre
already so far behind on due to their
economic situation and where they
live, Roybal said. Im always work-
ing toward doing my best work for
them.
Kristen Watkins, Lenexa senior,
will teach high school social studies
in Dallas next year. Watkins already
has some hands-on experience with
the program after participating in
an alternative break in Chicago last
January, where she volunteered in
a seventh-grade math and science
classroom. She said that what these
students were learning was two
years behind what she learned when
she was in seventh grade.
I fell in love and I applied for
it when I was still up in Chicago,
Watkins said. Seeing all the inequal-
ities made me want to do it.
Teach for America corps mem-
bers are paid a normal teachers
salary, which for Walberg will be
$35,000. After six weeks of training
in Chicago this summer, Walberg
will begin teaching on August 11.
He said he hoped to coach basket-
ball at the middle school where he
would be teaching and said he was
extremely honored to have the job.
Its a great corps program
thats main mission is to close the
education gap between classes in
America, Walberg said. Its really
a program focused on giving a good
education to every kid in America,
because every kid does deserve a
great education.

sophomore, and vice president of
KUCIC, said almost 160 women
died daily because of medical
complications during pregnancies
in India. Save-A-Mother helps
pregnant mothers with their diets,
surgery or any medical issues that
could result in maternal mortality,
Desai said.
Education is important and by
educating this backward youth of
India, somewhere we are further
securing the future of the country
and uplifting these poverty-ridden
individuals, Desai said. Being
involved in any work which helps
the needy provides me with great
satisfaction and I consider that
as the most efficient usage of my
time.
Desai said there would be about
15 kinds of authentic Indian food
and all the items would be pre-
pared using Indian spices. She
said the dinner would include sev-
eral types of vegetarian and non-
vegetarian curries, a variety of
rices, several lentil soups, Indian
snacks, also called chaats, along
with other side dishes and Indian
sweet dishes. Also, Indian chai
and lemonade would be provided,
Desai said.

2 bay leaves (tajpat)
1/2 inch of cinnamon stick (dalcheene)
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
1 tablespoon coriander powder (dhania)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric (haldi)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt or adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
mattar paneer ingredients
1. Cube the paneer into half-inch pieces and deep-fry them on
medium-high heat. Fry until the paneer becomes a light golden
color. Take the paneer out and place on a paper towel so the
extra oil is absorbed.
2. Mix cornstarch with three tablespoons of water and keep aside.
3. Blend the tomatoes and ginger to make a paste.
4. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Test the heat by adding one cumin
seed to the oil. If the cumin seed cracks right away, the oil is ready.
5. Add the asafetida (hing), cumin seeds, bay leaves and cin-
namon and stir-fry for a few seconds.
6. Add the tomatoes, coriander, turmeric, chili powder and
paprika. Cook until the mixture reduces to half.
7. Add the green peas and 1/4 cup of water. Cook on medium
heat. Pan should be covered. When the peas are tender, add the
salt and paneer.
8. To thicken the gravy, add corn starch mix. Cover the pan
and let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

DETROIT A person with
knowledge of General Motors
plans says Rick Wagoner will
step down immediately as
chairman and chief executive
of the struggling Detroit
automaker.
The person asked not to be
identifed because Wagoners
plans have not been formally
announced.
The move comes on the eve
of President Obama unveiling
his plan to reinvigorate the U.S.
auto industry. Obama and other
administration ofcials have
said they would demand deeper
restructuring from General
Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC
before they would get any more
government loans.
Both companies are living on
a total of $17.4 billion in federal

KIRKUK, Iraq Seeking to
head of an explosion of ethnic
violence, the United Nations
will call for a power-sharing
system of government for Iraqs
deeply divided region of Kirkuk
in the oil-rich north.
A draf U.N. plan, outlined
to the Associated Press by two
Western ofcials, aims to defuse
dangerous tensions. Kurds, a
majority in the region, have been
trying to wrest control from Ar-
abs, Turkomen and other rival
ethnic groups. If open warfare
breaks out, it could jeopardize
the U.S. goal of stability across
Iraq before elections at years
end.
Peaceful elections are critical
to reducing the U.S. presence in
Iraq, promised by President Ba-
rack Obama.
Te U.N. has played only a
minor role in Iraq since 2003,
when its Baghdad headquarters
was destroyed by a truck bomb.
Now, ofcials in Kirkuk say
the U.N. eforts may be the last
chance for a peaceful outcome.
Deputy Gov. Rakan Saeed al-
Jubouri, a Sunni Arab, agreed.
Violence is very easy to start
in Iraq, he said in a separate in-
terview.
Kirkuks future hinges on
whether its 1.3 million people
will be run by Baghdad or by Ir-
bil, the capital of the politically
autonomous Kurdistan region
in northern Iraq.
Kurds make up an estimated
52 percent of Kirkuks popula-
tion. Arabs represent 35 per-
cent. Kurds want the province to
be wrapped into Kurdistan. Ar-
abs and Turkomen vehemently
oppose this.
Te long-awaited U.N. report
on Kirkuk will outline options
for compromise, but we are not
pushing them into any particu-
lar direction, said spokeswom-
an Randa Jamal.

Texas considers legalizing
guns on college campuses
AUSTIN, Texas A public hear-
ing is set for Monday in the House
Public Safety Committee on a bill
that would allow licensed con-
cealed gun carriers to take their
weapons to school.
Supporters say the bills would
protect the rights of those licensed
to carry concealed weapons and
help prevent a massacre on the
scale of what happened at Virginia
Tech and another shooting last
year at Northern Illinois Univer-
sity, where fve were killed and 18
wounded.
Opponents say that if guns are
allowed on campus, students and
faculty will live in fear of classmates
and colleagues, not knowing who
might pull a gun over a drunken
dorm argument or a poor grade.
Texas issued 73,090 licenses in
fscal year 2008. Texas campuses
are gun-free zones.

Man decapitates 5-year-old sister and stabs other sister
BY gLen JoHnson
Associated Press
MILTON, Mass. A man
on a rampage fatally stabbed his
17-year-old sister, decapitated his
5-year-old sister in front of a police
officer and then headed toward
his 9-year-old sister with a knife in
his hand before officers shot him
amid what their
chief described as
a killing field.
There was no
clear motive for
the events that
unfolded Saturday
in a tiny Boston
suburb thats
home to Gov.
Deval Patrick.
But there was
no doubt at the
carnage wrought by 23-year-old
Kerby Revelus against his three
sisters in the two-family home
they shared with their parents and
grandmother.
Bianca was killed as a cake for
her fifth birthday sat on the kitch-
en table. It was not immediately
clear when she turned 5. Sarafina
dialed 911 and watched police
shoot her brother as her elder
sister, Samantha, lay dead on the
floor.
Sarafina was hospitalized
Sunday with defensive wounds to
her hands and stab wounds in her
abdomen and one
of her legs.
In policing, we
see the raw human
emotion every
day, but to think
that a human
being could afflict
such an atrocious,
violent act on
his own family is
unbelievable, Milton police Chief
Richard G. Wells, Jr. said. When
I walked up to the first officer (on
the scene), I could see the whole
story right in his face. This just
told me that this was something
very bad.
Saturdays attack came about
24 hours after Revelus had gotten
into a fistfight with a man living
next door, Wells said.
Blows were exchanged, he
said. I dont know the cause of
it, but were confident that did
happen. He had been agitated in
the hours that followed that, going
into the day and last night.
Investigators believe Revelus
targeted Samantha,
a senior at Milton
High School, and
fatally stabbed her
with a household
knife while their
grandmother, who
neighbors say lives
on the first floor,
was doing laundry
in the basement.
The childrens par-
ents, whose identi-
ties werent immediately revealed,
were away; their mother is a nurse
at a Boston hospital, Wells said.
Sarafina, a student at the Tucker
Elementary School, just behind
the house, called 911 just before
5 p.m. An officer on patrol in
the neighborhood arrived within a
minute, Wells said, and could hear
an altercation inside as he reached
the second floor. The 911 operator
tried to persuade Sarafina to open
the door, but when she didnt the
officer broke through.
As the officer entered the door,
(Revelus) decapitated (Bianca) in
front of him, Wells
said. He actually
walked into a killing
field. He walked into
such carnage, as far
as the atrocity of it,
Ive never seen it.
Within moments,
four officers were
inside and two of
them shot Revelus as
he tried to get to Sarafina, Wells
said. Revelus fell, still clutching
the knife.
Details about the number of
shots and who killed Revelus were
pending the outcome of an autop-
sy Sunday.
Revelus had recently served
jail time on a gun charge, Wells
said, but the details would not
be released until courts opened
Monday. Neighbors said Revelus
was in a car that was pulled over by
police and from which one occu-
pant threw a gun into a sewer.
Police had been called to the
familys house in 2004 after a
domestic violence report that
Revelus had punched a woman
living there, Wells said.
A neighbor, Norm Walsh, said
his daughter Kate Walsh, a Hollis,
N.H., police officer, reported
hearing two shots as she went
outside to bring in groceries from
the family car. Moments later, a
blood-covered officer emerged
carrying Sarafina, seeking towels
to stanch her bleeding.
Its shocking to me, said
Walsh, whose son is the same age
as Revelus. He played a lot of
pickup hoop in the driveway.
Walsh said the family had lived
in the neighborhood for over 20
years and was warm. They were of
Haitian descent,
as are many
residents in a
nei ghborhood,
where Creole is
spoken alongside
English.
The family
is a solid fami-
ly. Both parents
worked; good
kids. Completely makes no sense,
he said.
Samanthas classmates referred
to her by her nickname, Princess,
and remarked at her grace, class
and friendliness. She had been
one of about 20 students who had
been at the high school Saturday
afternoon to rehearse for a poet-
ry jam on Thursday.
Saturday morning,
Samantha also had
practiced for a school
fashion show.
She had a stage
presence like you
couldnt believe,
classmate Kassi Stein
said.
Sobbing, she added:
She had just a soft voice and
everyone would lean in to hear
what she was saying.
In one of the poems Samantha
was to recite, Acquaintance, she
wrote of the strength of women in
the face of ignorant souls.
The poem closed, So what
lousy wind brought you here?
What values you offer? Shes a
woman, a queen, a goddess. Dont
treat her like any other.
A two-hour grief counseling
session was held at the school
Sunday afternoon and will be
offered Monday to students and
employees.
The officers involved in the
case were placed on adminis-
trative leave and were receiving
counseling from the Boston Police
Department.

LOS ANGELES Katherine
Heigl said Friday shes ready to
stay with Greys Anatomy and
the decision rests with the show.
Attending a studio party to
mark the ABC medical dramas
100th episode, Heigl said its pre-
mature to think her days as Dr.
Izzie Stevens are numbered.
I was assuming that at one
point and I got a lot of shrugged
shoulders and shakes of the head,
so I dont know if thats a yes or a
no. No one will tell me and I dont
know how this is going to go,
Heigl said, noting series creator
Shonda Rhimes passion for plot
secrecy.
I dont know if I live or die. I
dont know how Izzie fares, said
the actress, whos played the char-
acter since the show debuted in
2005.
Im there if Izzie remains part
of Greys Anatomy, Heigl said.
She called the set one of my favor-
ite places to be and said her col-
leagues are also friends.
She and fellow cast members,
including Ellen Pompeo (Dr.
Meredith Grey) and Patrick
Dempsey (Dr. Derek Shepherd),
were on hand for the celebration
that included a cake decorated
with scalpels and syringes made
out of icing.

hicago sophomores Jake
Moller and Andrew Hines
love Kansas basketball.
Hines roots for his hometown hero
Sherron Collins by wearing his No.
4 jersey for every game. Chron-
Chron Sherron, he calls him.
Mollers face lights up with
animation when he reflects on
the seasons memorable moments.
He cant help but pace around the
room excitedly, imitating one of
Collins three-point baskets against
Oklahoma. Both KU students love
Kansas basketball, and both are
perfect examples of Jayhawk fans.
When Kansas was defeated by
Michigan State in the Sweet Sixteen
Friday, Hines, Moller and Jayhawk
fans around the globe were sad-
dened by the tough loss. However,
its important to reflect on the sea-
son as a whole, and how the team
that had been all but
written-off came so far.
Going into the
2008-09 basketball
season, expectations
werent high for the
young Jayhawks. After winning the
national championship in 2008 and
losing six of its best players, no one
thought Kansas had a chance.
I thought we were going to be
terrible, Moller said. I was not
looking forward to the season and
I wasnt sure if we were going to
make the tournament.
Mollers expectations changed,
however, as Kansas proved it was
a legitimate threat in the Big 12
Conference over the course of the
season.
Late in the season I started to
realize that we had a chance to do
some damage in the tournament,
Moller said. We pulled out a lot
of big wins and had a solid season
after losing our top six
players.
Hines, on the other
hand, felt the Jayhawks
had potential to be
great early in the sea-
son. My expecta-
tions were higher than most, he
said. I thought we had a chance to
win it all from the beginning of the
season. People had doubts, but I
had confidence.
Looking back on the season,
both are pleased with the Sweet
Sixteen result, but know theres
great room for improvement.
After winning the national
championship, nothing is as satisfy-
ing as winning it all, Hines said.
But it was a great year, our players
played really well. Cole definitely
asserted himself as one of the best
big men in the country, Sherron as
one of the best point guards. I just
hope everyone stays for one more
year.
Hines raises the question that is
on the mind of every Jayhawk fan:
will Aldrich and Collins come back
for one more season and bypass
the NBA draft? Kansas fans can
only hope they will stay, as every
member of this seasons team will
be eligible to play next year.
The Kansan would like to extend
its congratulations to the Jayhwaks
for their outstanding performance
this season. Watching a young team
mature into a dominant basketball
program was a wonderful experi-
ence. Sherron and Cole: please stick
around for one more!

here is no word for
relocation in the
Navajo language. But
12,000 Navajo have been forced
to move off their traditional
homelands ever since Congress
passed Public Law 93-531 in
1974. The cause of this massive
removal of Native Americans
was coal and the vast wealth it
can produce. About one-third
of the coal in America lies
under Native American reserva-
tions, and energy corporations,
working within the capitalistic
game for profit, are not always
kind to everyone in pursuit of
the mineral.
I traveled to the Navajo
Reservation on an alterna-
tive spring break through
Ecumenical Christian
Ministries. I went intending to
experience a different culture,
and to witness its sustainable
lifestyle. However, I found
it impossible not to become
politicized when I heard their
stories of what Peabody Energy,
the worlds largest private-sector
coal company, has done to the
Navajo people.
The Reservation, centered
in the Four Corners region
of Arizona, offers a rugged,
yet beautiful, landscape. The
flat red land stretches almost
endlessly with intermittent
interruptions by awesome,
black volcanic peaks and pla-
teaus. The Navajo herd sheep
daily through this landscape
of tumbleweeds and desert
grasses. But what was once a
thriving community, with many
head of horse, sheep and cattle,
lively traditional ceremonies
and amazing blanket weaving,
now instead is a place that the
National Academy of Science
has termed a national sacrifice
area in the interests of energy
development.
In addition to relocation, the
Navajo have experienced other
ill effects of mineral extraction
on their land. The Black Mesa
coal mine is the only place in
America that uses a coal slurry
line to transport mined coal
273 miles out of Arizona and
into Nevada. This slurry line
has been using a billion gallons
of water annually for the past
30 years, and has been draining
water resources on which the
native people greatly depend.
This method of mining, strip-
mining, literally strips the land-
scape down to the depth of coal.
In addition, acid runoff from
the mining operations contami-
nates nearby water sources, a
scarce resource in this region.
As Martin Sheen narrated in
Broken Rainbow, the 1985
Academy Award winning docu-
mentary on the issue, it is no
longer possible to separate envi-
ronmental issues from Native
American survival.
In this case, the destruction
that Peabody Coal creates is
simply a side effect of its efforts
to increase profitability for its
shareholders. It is often helped
along by the tribal councils
which should not be confused
with the native population
who seek personal gain through
piggybacking off this giant cor-
poration.
Unfortunately, Judith Niles,
writing for Orion magazine, says
that what is happening on the
reservation is just one example
of a global trend, a syndrome
in which transnational corpora-
tions take and exploit indigenous
lands with the cooperation
of host governments. Are we
choosing profit over people?

choosing biggie as top
rapper unfounded
While Biggie was an ex-
tremely talented rapper, and
youd be hard-pressed to fnd
any hip-hop fan that isnt fond
of him, the notion that hes the
greatest rapper of all-time is
undercut by one simple fact: He
only released one truly great
album.
Ready to Dieis a stone-cold
classic that deserves every bit of
acclaim its received, but even
then, its not the best rap album
of 1994 (Nass Illmatictakes
that title). And Life After Death,
while boasting a number of
classic tracks, sufers from the
same bloat and fller that has
plagued every hip-hop double
album yet.
As for infuence, Biggies
impact can hardly be compared
with rappers such as Rakim (the
frst rapper to set a high stan-
dard of lyricism), KRS-One (who
brought street consciousness
and hard-core black militancy
to rap), Chuck D (the frst rap-
per to establish rap as a viable
political outlet), N.W.A. (who
single-handedly revolutionized
rap as an expression of gangsta
violence), Run-D.M.C. and the
Beastie Boys (who embraced
hip-hops rock infuences and
embraced the mainstream) and
so on.
So the case for Biggie has to
be made based on his output,
which just isnt strong enough to
justify any claim as the greatest
ever. Biggies own protg Jay-Z
undoubtedly has a superior
catalogue. The catalogues a
number of others all boast out-
put at least on par with Biggies
in terms of quality. Biggie was
supremely talented, and per-
haps if he hadnt died so young
he wouldve been the greatest,
but as it is, he falls well short.

CHICAGO From an
Antarctic research base and the
Great Pyramids of Egypt to the
Empire State Building in New York
and the Sears Tower in Chicago,
illuminated patches of the globe
went dark Saturday for Earth Hour,
a campaign to highlight the threat
of climate change.
Time zone by time zone, nearly
4,000 cities and towns in 88 coun-
tries joined the event sponsored by
the World Wildlife Fund to dim
nonessential lights from 8:30 p.m.
to 9:30 p.m. The campaign began
in Australia in 2007 and last year
grew to 400 cities worldwide.
Organizers initially worried
enthusiasm this year would wane
with the world focused on the
global economic crisis, said Earth
Hour executive director Andy
Ridley. But he said it apparently
had the opposite effect.
Earth Hour has always been
a positive campaign; its always
around street parties, not street
protests, its the idea of hope, not
despair. And I think thats some-
thing thats been incredibly impor-
tant this year because there is so
much despair around, he said.
Crowds in Times Square watched
as many of the massive billboards,
including the giant Coca-Cola
display, darkened. Steps away,
the Majestic Theater marquee at
the home of The Phantom of
the Opera went dark, along with
the marquees at other Broadway
shows.
Mikel Rouse, 52, a composer
who lives and works nearby came
to watch what he called the center
of the universe dim its lights.
Cmon, is it really necessary? ...
All this ridiculous advertising ... all
this corporate advertising taking
up all that energy seems to be a
waste, Rouse said.
In Chicago, one of 10 U.S. Earth
Hour flagship cities, a small crowd
braved a cold rain to count down
as Gov. Pat Quinn flipped a 4-foot-
tall mock light switch that orga-
nizers had to brace against high
winds. A second later, the buildings
behind him went dark.
I dont see why people shouldnt
always turn off the lights, pon-
dered 15-year-old Chicagoan Tyler
Oria, who was among those gath-
ered.
More than 200 buildings pledged
to go dark in the city, including
shops along the Magnificent Mile.
No matter what your indi-
vidual beliefs are about climate
change, energy efficiency is some-
thing everyone can understand in
this economic environment, said
WWF managing director Darron
Collins, who helped Chicago offi-
cials organize for the night.
The Smithsonian Castle, World
Bank, National Cathedral and
Howard University were among
several buildings that went dark for
an hour in the nations capital.
This was the first year that
Washington, D.C., became an offi-
cial Earth Hour city, said Leslie
Aun, WWF spokeswoman.
In the Chilean capital of Santiago,
lights were turned off at banks,
the citys communications tower
and several government buildings,
including the Presidential Palace
where President Michelle Bachelet
hosted a dinner for U.S. Vice
President Joe Biden.
The two leaders and dozens of
guests dinned at candlelight.
In Mexico City, the city govern-
ment and business owners turned
off all nonessential lights at more
than 100 buildings.
In San Francisco, some of the
citys best-known landmarks went
dark, including Coit Tower, the
TransAmerica building and the
Golden Gate Bridge.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Storms
spread misery Saturday from the
Great Plains to the Gulf Coast,
dumping spring snow that cut
power to thousands of Kansas
utility customers and spawning
tornado warnings and heavy rain
across the South.
Two deaths were reported in
Kansas as a spring blizzard buried
parts of the state in ice, slush and
up to two feet of snow. A 72-year-
old man shoveling snow died of a
heart attack Saturday while wait-
ing for an ambulance slowed by
impassable roads in Arlington, in
central Kansas, authorities told The
Hutchinson News. On Friday, a
58-year-old woman was killed in
a car accident on icy roadways in
Marion County.
The system also prompted a
disaster declaration in Kansas and
was blamed for two traffic deaths
in Oklahoma.
The National Weather Service
warned eastern Iowa about a nar-
row band of snow that will be par-
ticularly nasty, with forecast accu-
mulation of 4 to 6 inches.
Mixed in with the heavy snow
could be thunder and lightning, a
phenomenon called thundersnow,
which typically produces heavy
snow over a brief period.
Snow, and lots of it, was Kyle
Oberts laconic assessment of the
weather conditions in Iowa City.
Obert, 23, a clerk at a Caseys
General Store north of downtown,
said snow began piling up at about
4 p.m. on Saturday.
In Missouri, Kansas City
International Airport was closed
for more than two hours Saturday
because of a mix of freezing rain
and snow. Officials said they briefly
closed the airport to departing and
arriving flights because conditions
were too slick for aircraft to oper-
ate safely.
The storm also dumped as much
as two feet of snow on parts of
Oklahoma.
It was blamed for two deadly
accidents in central Oklahoma and
dozens of other collisions in north-
west Oklahoma, including one
that left a truck driver critically
injured.

MOORHEAD, Minn. As
the Red River crept within view
of their backyard this past week,
Denette and Billy Narum had an
extra incentive to pray their sand-
bags held. Like most people in the
path of potential floods, they have
no flood insurance.
Fewer than 800 homeowners in
the North Dakota and Minnesota
communities most threatened
by the swollen river hold insur-
ance policies covering flood dam-
age despite a decade-long push
by state and federal officials to
get people signed up, according to
federal records obtained by The
Associated Press.
Like the Narums, who bought
their home five years ago, many
forgo the insurance
because they have
never seen a historic
flood. Others dont
want to shell out up
to $800 a year for
coverage, instead
gambling that city
dikes will protect
their homes.
That leaves resi-
dents exposed to
huge losses, and they cant count
on a government bailout. People
who dont have insurance can get
limited federal help if their county
is declared a federal disaster area,
but its usually in a loan that must
be repaid.
This was never supposed to
happen here, Denette Narum said
hours before she and her hus-
band evacuated Friday, giving up
on their six pumps as water seeped
under sandbags topping a perma-
nent levee and water filled their
basement.
Thousands of volunteers rein-
forced miles and miles of dikes
with sandbags as the river rose
to record levels. Even though the
National Weather Service said the
river appeared to be receding, it
was still more than 20 feet above
flood stage Sunday and expected
to remain that way for days, test-
ing the integrity of dikes that have
already suffered some breaches.
Federal Emergency Management
Agency reports show that in the
besieged city of Fargo, N.D., with
a population of 92,000, only 586
homeowners have policies
including just 90 in the area of
highest flood risk. In neighbor-
ing Moorhead, a
city of 30,000, that
number is a mere
145.
In fact, only
4,558 homeown-
ers in the entire
state of North
Dakota and fewer
than 9,000 in
Minnesota carried
flood insurance as of January, the
most recent figures available.
FEMA and state officials tried
to get the message out about flood
insurance after the devastating
1997 Red River flood, which sub-
merged Grand Forks, N.D., and
caused an estimated $4.1 billion
in damage.
Only 743 homeowners in Grand
Forks now carry flood insurance.
Memories are short, and people
dont remember the 1997 flood,
said Butch Kinerney, spokesman
for the National Flood Insurance
Program, managed by FEMA.
You see it time and time again:
People forget the past.
FEMA doesnt require people to
buy flood insurance unless theyre
in a designated flood plain and
have a federally backed mortgage.
Butch and Janet Johnson have
lived in Fargo for 35 years, just
half a block from the Red River,
and dont know any neighbors
who have flood insurance. Theyve
received a few fliers in the mail but
never considered getting a policy.
Our house is 100 years old and
if its going to go, they can have it,
Janet Johnson said.
The Narums mortgage com-
pany didnt require the insurance,
and the previous owner told them
there was only an inch of water
in the basement during the 1997
flood.
And that was considered a 100-
year flood, said Billy Narum, who
built an earthen berm to protect
his home in 2006 after he had to
sandbag during late spring floods.
Kathy Beckius duplex about
a block from the Red River in
Moorhead also was untouched by
water during the 1997 flooding,
so she and her husband decid-
ed against flood insurance. On
Saturday, Beckius watched river
water backing up in nearby storm
drains, flooding streets in the area
up to 2 feet deep in spots.
Its your choice whether you get
it or not where we live, and we just
chose not to, she said.
After flooding in Minnesota in
2007, Gov. Tim Pawlenty advo-
cated for a law requiring insurance
companies to notify homeowners
annually about flood insurance.
However, there has been little
change in the number of policies in
Minnesota since Pawlenty signed
the law last May, said Ceil Strauss,
who coordinates the flood insur-
ance program for the state.
For the most part, people just
dont want to spend the money,
Strauss said. They think theyre
safe and dont believe theyre in a
flood plain most of time, even if
they are.
Jeff Klein, North Dakotas flood
insurance coordinator, said some
people buy coverage only in years
when the risk is high usually
when theres been a lot of snow
then drop it.
In 1997, more than 12,000 hom-
eowners had flood insurance, Klein
said, and he suspects the number
of current policies is higher than
shown by FEMA data, updated
through January. This February,
FEMA urged homeowners to buy
insurance because of a record
snow pack and the 30-day waiting
period for a policy to take effect.
Anyone can buy the federal
insurance from most private insur-
ance agents, as long as their com-
munity participates in the National
Flood Insurance Program.
Policies start at under $100 a
year, and homeowners can insure
the structure, contents or both.
The average policy for people in a
high-risk flood plain is about $600
to $800 a year.
FEMA officials say they encour-
age everyone to buy flood insur-
ance, even though people behind
levees or dams certified to with-
stand a 100-year flood one so
big that it has only a 1 percent
chance of happening in any given
year arent required to.
People think man-made struc-
tures protect them from Mother
Nature, but Mother Nature does
not pay attention to lines on a map
or man-made levees, Kinerney
said. Insurance is not cheap, but
its more expensive if you suffer a
disaster.
Tell that to Billy Narum, who
has no intention of buying flood
insurance after the current flood
threat is over. Instead, he said hell
build a higher berm and maybe
get rid of the walk-out basement,
assuming he can return home.
Within three years of paying
insurance premiums, I would be
able to replace everything I lost
anyway, he said.

Status of economy may lead
to revisions of state budget
BY JOHN HANNA
Associated Press
TOPEKA A $13 billion-plus
state budget is likely to win approv-
al from legislators this week, but its
built on what seems a convenient
fiction.
The apparent fiction is the notion
that state revenues wont fall short
of expectations again for the rest of
the current fiscal year or the states
2010 fiscal year, which begins July
1. Few, if any, legislators expect the
state to have such good luck in the
current economic climate.
If tax collections continue to fall
as short of expectations as they
did through February, the budget
about to win approval fiscal 2010
wont balance, and legislators will
be forced to revise it. If the states
finances get significantly worse,
legislators might even have to
revise the current budget, too.
The next forecast wont be issued
until April 17, two weeks into
legislators annual spring break.
Legislators are scheduled to recon-
vene April 29 to wrap up their busi-
ness for the year, which is likely to
include further budget revisions.
I think its anybodys guess at
this stage of the game, said Senate
Minority Leader Anthony Hensley,
a Topeka Democrat. Everything is
contingent on the revenue side.
The House and Senate expect
to vote this week on a 2010 bud-
get drafted by negotiators who
reconciled dozens of differences
between their chambers on spend-
ing issues. The product uses $585
million in federal stimulus funds to
prop up the states finances, as Gov.
Kathleen Sebelius had proposed.
The results are mixed, depend-
ing on the agency. Legislators are
making significant cuts in pub-
lic safety, agriculture and natural
resources and general government
agencies. Some social services are
protected.
Higher education comes out
looking like the biggest winner.
Having taken a round of cuts in
the first budget, universities, com-
munity colleges and technical col-
leges dont appear to take another
except that the stimulus funds
used to achieve the result come
with strings that probably mean
further belt-tightening for some
programs.
The problem will get worse if the
officials and university economists
who issue the states financial fore-
cast are persuaded by economic
data that tax collections in fiscal
2010 will be lower than in fiscal
2009. Budget projections assume
flat tax collections in fiscal 2010.
I think theres a lot of unknowns
out there, said Senate President
Steve Morris, a Hugoton Republican.
We have to be flexible.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama will find out two
things as he studies how to make the
White House more environmentally
friendly:
No. 1: Its already been done.
No. 2: It needs to be done again.
It was Earth Day 1993 when
President Bill Clinton launched
his ambitious greening the White
House project. That effort saved
more than $1.4 million in its first six
years, largely from improvements
in lighting, heating, air condition-
ing, insulation, water sprinklers and
other measures.
During George W. Bushs two
terms, workers installed three solar
systems, including a thermal setup
on the pool cabana that heats water
for the pool and showers and pho-
tovoltaic panels atop a maintenance
shed that supplement the mansions
electrical supply. Bush also made
a big push to recycle office paper,
although the overall go-green effort
lost momentum during his tenure,
according to many outside observ-
ers.
Obama promised before he took
office that he wanted to sit down
with White House staff to evaluate
what could be done to conserve
energy in a 132-room behemoth
of a mansion/office that leaves an
EEE-sized carbon footprint.
Part of what I want to do is to
show the American people that its
not that hard, Obama said in a
television interview during the tran-
sition. He said hes one of those peo-
ple who tiptoes around and turns
off lights at night. Im not going to
be obsessive about it. But I do that
in my current house. So theres no
reason why I wouldnt do it in my
next one.
The family already is taking
action to set an eco-example for the
nation. First lady Michelle Obama
recently broke ground for an organ-
ic herb and vegetable garden on
the South Lawn. The Obamas have
installed an environmentally friend-
ly wooden swing set for their chil-
dren on the White House grounds.
Cushioning underfoot is made from
recycled rubber tires.
Obama isnt ready to give details
of his broader go-green plans for
the White House, but administra-
tion officials report that small steps
are under way: The housekeeping
staff is making the switch to green-
er cleaning supplies, and complex
managers have asked engineers
and groundskeepers to use greener
products whenever possible. Efforts
are afoot to improve and promote
recycling.
As for what more can be done,
outside experts on green build-
ings report that the administration
is seeking out information about
whats feasible. Given the priority
Obama placed on renewable energy
in his economic stimulus package
and budget, environmentalists are
chattering about what further steps
he will take at the White House.
Theyre very focused on lead-
ing by example, said Rick Fedrizzi,
chief executive of the nonprofit U.S.
Green Building Council, which has
offered advice to the White House.
Its great to see that theyre focused
on solid solutions and not just
throwing sound bites over the fence
every day.
Sometimes, good intentions have
gotten ahead of the technology in
eco-efforts at the White House.

Per-pack cigarette tax
rises 62 cents this week
BY RICARDO
ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON However
they satisfy their nicotine cravings,
tobacco users are facing a big hit
as the single largest federal tobac-
co tax increase ever takes effect
Wednesday.
Tobacco companies and public
health advocates, longtime foes in
the nicotine battles, are trying to
turn the situation to their advan-
tage. The major cigarette makers
raised prices a couple of weeks ago,
partly to offset any drop in profits
once the per-pack tax climbs from
39 cents to $1.01.
Medical groups see a tax increase
right in the middle of a recession as
a great incentive to help persuade
smokers to quit.
Tobacco taxes are soaring to
finance a major expansion of health
insurance for children. President
Barack Obama signed that health
initiative soon after taking office.
Other tobacco products, from
cigars to pipes and smokeless, will
see similarly large tax increases,
too. For example, the tax on chew-
ing tobacco will go up from 19.5
cents per pound to 50 cents. The
total expected to be raised over the
4 1/2 year-long health insurance
expansion is nearly $33 billion.
Smokers are mulling their
options.
Standing outside an office build-
ing in downtown Washington last
week, 29-year-old Sam Sarkhosh
puffed on a Marlboro Light. His
8-year-old daughter has been plead-
ing with him to quit, he explained,
and he has set a goal to give up
smoking by his 30th birthday.
Im trying to quit smoking, and
it could help, said Sarkhosh, an
information systems specialist. I
dont think it will stop me from
buying cigarettes every now and
then, but definitely not as often.
A friend who smokes Camels went
out and bought four cartons in
advance, he said.
The tax increase is only the first
move in a recharged anti-smoking
campaign. Congress also is consid-
ering legislation to empower the
Food and Drug Administration to
regulate tobacco. That could lead
to reformulated cigarettes. Obama,
who has agonized over his own
cigarette habit, said he would sign
such a bill.
Prospects for reducing the harm
from smoking are better than they
have been in years, said Dr. Timothy
Gardner, president of the American
Heart Association. The tax increase
is a terrific public health move by
the federal government, he said.
Every time that the tax on tobacco
goes up, the use of cigarettes goes
down.
About one in five adults in the
United States smokes cigarettes.
Thats a gradually dwindling share,
though it isnt shrinking fast enough
for public health advocates.
The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention says cigarette smok-
ing results in an estimated 443,000
premature deaths each year, and
costs the economy $193 billion in
health care expenses and lost time
from work.

Sophomore center cole Aldrich puts his armaround junior guard Sherron Collins as they walk to shake hands with the Michigan State players. Kansas ended its season with a 67-62 defeat in the Sweet Sixteen.

MENS bASKETbAll
REwiNd pAgE 6b
For full coverage of the
mens basketball game
against Michigan State,
check out the rewind on
pAgE 6b.
C
oach Bill Self put it bluntly.
Afer being asked to refect
on the season shortly afer
the loss to Michigan State, the
national coach of the year had one
thing to say.
We werent a very good
basketball team early, Self said.
Te guys really came together and
they gave us a chance to be good.
Kansas, afer losing all fve
starters and a key reserve, simply
never should have made it this far.
Te Jayhawks earned a low-
20s preseason ranking on the
strength of a national title reign,
an unproven nucleus of Sherron
Collins and Cole Aldrich, a seven-
deep recruiting class that Rivals.
com ranked as the second-best in
the country and a coach who is
arguably the best in the game.
But, beyond Self, nothing
was proven. Te Jayhawks, who
represent one of the top college
basketball programs in history,
were for the frst time in a long
time an unknown commodity.
Tey were unproven, untested and
unqualifed.
But thats what made this years
Jayhawks so fun to watch. No
one knew what to expect, and the
Jayhawks redefned unpredictable,
going from the highest highs a
25-point dismantling of a solid
Missouri squad to the lowest
lows a 19-point loss three
days later to lowly Texas Tech
without any seeming reason.
Once the young Jayhawks hit the
bottom of the barrel, though, it
took little time at all to foat back
on top. Afer that Tech loss, Kansas
rebounded to knock of Texas and
clinch an improbable ffh-straight
conference title.
It took a coaching performance
from Self that has racked up
multiple national awards to get the
Jayhawks this far. It took Collins
developing into a dominant scorer
and all-conference guard. It took
Aldrich growing from a virtual
unknown to a potential lottery
pick if he decides to leave Kansas
for a shot at the NBA.
Te maturation of this years
inexperienced team was plain
to see, and perhaps nothing
demonstrates it better than their
fourth loss and the one that ended
the season. Tose two losses,
both to national title contender
Michigan State, couldnt have gone
diferently.
In East Lansing in January,
Kansas didnt belong on the same
court as the Spartans. Michigan
State dominated the frst half,
holding the Jayhawks to only 19
frst-half points with their physical
play. But in Indianapolis in March,
the Jayhawks were tougher,
stronger and refused to go quietly
into the night.
Te best thing about this
years team, though, might be its
potential for greatness down the
line.
If were able to keep these guys
together, Self said. I really believe
that this could be a special group,
based on how much they improved
over the course of the season.

INDIANAPOLIS It had to
end like this.
Not necessarily in the Sweet
Sixteen at Lucas Oil Stadium in a
67-62 defeat to Michigan State. But
from the beginning of the year, it
was clear that Kansas would go as
far as Sherron Collins could take it.
In the end, Collins willed the
Jayhawks to a 65-60 lead with just
more than three minutes remain-
ing against the Spartans. And no
further than that.
From there, Collins, a junior
guard, committed a key turnover,
made a key foul and missed a key
free throw. Then, it was over.
I can take the loss or what-
ever, Collins said. I take it on my
shoulders.
But its not that simple. Because
without Collins, the Jayhawks
would have never stood a chance
against the Spartans. He played a
game-high 38 minutes, scored a
game-high 20 points and led Kansas
out to a 32-19 lead in the first half.
No, the blame could go around
to everyone after the loss. Collins
teammates knew it.
Everybody that played in the
game did things that if they think
back, they could be like, Well,
this cost us this game, freshman
guard Tyshawn Taylor said.
Taylor was part of one of the
major problems. Before the Sweet
Sixteen, Kansas coach Bill Self
talked about how players other
than Collins and sophomore cen-
ter Cole Aldrich needed to con-
tribute more than they had in the
first two rounds of the NCAA
Tournament.
Didnt happen again. Collins
and Aldrich who finished with
17 points, 14 rebounds, four assists
and four blocks accounted for
60 percent of Kansas offense.
Sherron and I will do any-
thing for us to win, Aldrich said.
Sometimes, thats what it comes
down to.
Collins specifically carried the
burden Friday. He got a one-min-
ute break before checking back
into the game with 6:45 remaining
and the score tied at 51.
Three minutes later, Collins had
helped the Jayhawks regain the
lead at 60-55 with two baskets off
of nifty drives through numer-
ous Spartan defenders. Perhaps
one more field goal would have
clinched a Jayhawk victory and

While equipment and food were
being loaded and stored onto a bus
outside Allen Fieldhouse Sunday,
coach Bonnie Henrickson stood on
the Jayhawk at halfcourt with her
players gathered around.
Soon after, the Jayhawks boarded
a bus and eventually a plane
destined for their WNIT game
at New Mexico (25-10, 9-7). But
first, Henrickson wanted to leave her
team with one final thought for the
lengthy trip ahead.
Henrickson wanted to make
unmistakably clear that Kansas
couldnt overlook New Mexico a
team that lacks one standout player,
but plays well collectively. Those
teams, like New Mexico, are harder
to beat because you have to guard
everybody, Henrickson said.
Perhaps the mental aspect of
tonights game at 8 p.m. poses the
biggest challenge for Kansas (20-13,
6-10). The Jayhawks have won seven
of their last nine games, and the
only losses in that stretch were to
top-25 teams that made the NCAA
tournament.
Still, something didnt sit right for
Henrickson or her players for that
matter in Kansas last two prac-
tices. And the Jayhawks insisted they
werent overlooking a New Mexico
team that plays in the lesser-known
Mountain West Conference.
I cant tell you why, but the feel
was different, senior guard Ivana
Catic said. Even if there was some
thought that they werent an SEC or
Big 12 team, they still have (25) wins
and theyre still a good team.
In the middle of her team Sunday
afternoon, Henrickson used her
best player, junior forward Danielle
McCray, as a perfect example. In a
69-62 loss at Colorado on Feb. 18
arguably Kansas lowest point this
season McCray struggled, scoring
just 11 points.
And Henrickson noticed some-
thing with McCray, something she
pointed out to the rest of the team.
Shes a very confident kid, which
makes her a great player. And Im
not trying to take any ounce of con-
fidence from her, Henrickson said.
But at times I think her confidence

Seattles poor pitching leads to KC victory
TIM BOOTH
Associated Press
PEORIA, Ariz. Seattles strug-
gling pitching staff gave up more
than 15 runs for the second con-
secutive day in a 17-12 loss to the
Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
A day after getting tagged for 16
runs by the Los Angeles Angels,
Mariners pitchers allowed 22 hits
and a nine-run inning to the Royals.
Alberto Callaspo went 4-for-6 with
three doubles and scored three
times. Coco Crisp and Billy Bulter
each had three hits as Kansas City
finished with 11 extra-base hits.
If spring training stats were a
guarantee wed all be hanging our-
selves right now, Seattle manager
Don Wakamatsu said. Youve got
to think positively and now is not
the time to give up on your club
pitching-wise. Well just keep work-
ing.
Seattle starter Jarrod Washburn
was rocked for seven runs and
nine hits in the first two innings,
although Kansas City starter Zack
Greinke wasnt any better.
Greinke, slated to pitch the sec-
ond game of the season for the
Royals, gave up eight earned runs
and 10 hits in just two innings. All
eight runs came in the second, when
Seattle sent 13 batters to the plate,
rattled off five straight singles and
took an 8-7 lead.
I didnt want them to take me
out. I still felt pretty strong, Greinke
said. But they thought it would be
better to throw in the bullpen than
face more hitters.
Greinke was scheduled to throw
about 90 pitches, but was pulled
after 52.
Mike Sweeney had three hits
and two RBIs for Seattle. Yuniesky
Betancourt and Kenji Johjima hom-
ered, while Ken Griffey Jr. added a
pair of sharp singles.
Seattle led 10-7 entering the
seventh inning before bullpen can-
didates David Aardsma and Roy
Corcoran collapsed.
Aardsma walked the first two bat-
ters, then got a pair of outs. Thats
when things unraveled.
Callaspo doubled to score a pair
and Tony Pena Jr. followed with
a two-run homer. After another
double, Aardsma was replaced by
Corcoran, who allowed a pair of
RBI singles before Ryan Shealys
three-run homer. Denny Stark got
the final out of the inning.
Washburn struggled at the start,
unable to keep pitches down in the
strike zone. He was hit hard, includ-
ing five doubles and Alex Gordons
homer in the first two innings.
But Washburn adjusted and as
he tired was able to hit more spots.
After giving up hits to six different
batters in the first two innings, he
allowed just four hits over his final
four innings.
I kind of got a little tired after
(the second). I think I was a little
too strong and felt too good those
first two innings and everything was
up and flat, Washburn said. After
I got a little tired I started getting a
better angle on the ball and better
movement.

Blue Jackets aiming to get
into eighth play-of spot
COLUMBUS, Ohio The prize is
just around the corner, yet the St.
Louis Blues wont permit them-
selves to take a peek.
Patrik Berglund had a goal and
two assists and the Blues moved a
step closer to a playof spot with
a 5-2 victory over the Columbus
Blue Jackets on Sunday.
T.J. Oshie and David Perron
each had a goal and an assist,
Brad Boyes and David Backes also
scored, and Chris Mason gave up
two shaky goals but stopped the
other 26 shots he faced.
Columbus is sixth in the West
with 86 points, two points ahead
of Nashville and three in front of
St. Louis. Edmonton, which began
the day in a virtual tie with the
Blues for the last of the eight play-
of spots, is ninth two points
behind St. Louis.
The Blues have won fve in a
row and earned points in seven of
eight, rising from the dregs of the
West to a tenuous grip on one of
those eight precious postseason
spots.
If were there at the end of the
year, then well be happy because
every night it changes, Mason
said.
He said the Blues arent taking
time to savor how far theyve come.
It feels good to be where were
at, considering where we were,
he said. We all know were not
done yet. Weve got games left. Its
defnitely not settled.

M
arcus Morris has a
message for you: Dont
bet on me.
One day before the forward
injured his ankle in the fnal min-
utes of his freshman season, Mor-
ris was playing with a miniature
basketball in Kansas locker room.
Marcus and twin brother Markief
were dribbling the squishy toy
when I noticed the slogan, Dont
Bet On It, emblazoned over its
tiny orange bumps.
Gambling education is a top
priority to the NCAA, which is
why it hung anti-gambling posters
in the locker rooms at the Metro-
dome and Lucas Oil Stadium.*
*Te poster shows an orange
prison jumpsuit hanging in a locker
and tells student athletes they
will don this new uniform if they
gamble on sports. I actually had
the same poster in my high school
locker room, though I doubt theres
a bookie in the country putting
odds on high school cross country.
Marcus said the ball was his
reward for listening to a speech
about gambling in college athlet-
ics. Topics included odds, point
shaving and the consequences for
any student athlete caught in a
gambling allegation.
A woman held a box full of
the childrens toys and afer the
lecture Marcus wanted one.
I asked her for a ball and
she said, All right, youve got to
answer a question. What year
was coach Self born? I said 1960,
and she just threw me the ball,
Marcus said.
Te correct answer is 1962,
but the womans arbitrary ques-
tion was intended to simply get
a response, not necessarily the
correct one.
So he got a souvenir, but Mar-
cus also learned about an aspect
of sports he never considered
before.
I never thought about it, but I
think about it now and I just think
about how many people are losing
money, Marcus said. Defnitely
if theyre betting on how many
points I had.
Wait, what?
If theyre betting on how many
points Im going to score, theyre
losing a lot of money.
While most athletes live on
confdence, this was Marcus
response when asked to set the
over/under on his points:
Pssh, hopefully I get 10, he
said. But if you want to win Id
say six. Yeah, take the under.
Considering Marcus scored a
combined 12 points in the tour-
ney, it seems like sound advice.
UCOnn DO IT
Te University of Connecticut
will win the 2009 NCAA Cham-
pionship because it defeated
Purdue, which defeated the Uni-
versity of Northern Iowa. Let me
explain.
From 2004-06, UNI made the
tournament each season and lost
by fve points in the frst round
each time. Afer 06 my dad
pointed out this unique coinci-
dence: In all three postseasons the
team that defeated UNI lost to the
eventual national champion.
2004: Georgia Tech defeats
UNI 65-60, and then loses to
UConn in the title game.
2005: Wisconsin defeats UNI
57-52, and then loses to North
Carolina in the Elite Eight. UNC
defeated Illinois in the title game.
2006: Georgetown defeats UNI
54-49, and then loses to Florida
in the Sweet Sixteen. Florida de-
feated UCLA in the title game.
2009: Purdue defeats UNI 61-
56, and then loses to UConn in
the Sweet Sixteen.
Could this all mean absolutely
nothing? Of course, but dont say I
didnt warn you.

Briscoe, Greene suspended for spring practice
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
Sophomore wide receiver
Dezmon Briscoe and sophomore
defensive tackle Jamal Greene have
been suspended for a violation of
team policy and have not practiced
this spring, coach Mark Mangino
said Friday.
Ill review (Briscoes) case next
week, him and Jamal Greene both,
Mangino said.
Briscoe, an All-Big 12 Second
Team selection last year, set a
school record of 1,407 receiving
yards off 92 receptions and a record
15 touchdowns. Greene started the
final seven games and appeared in
all 13.
Usually reserved for assess-
ing personnel and tweaking game
plans, this spring has challenged
the Jayhawks with
the always tough
to scout Kansas
weather.
So far practice
has been going well
... when were on
the field, Mangino
said. Its just that
Mother Nature has
been our biggest
challenge so far.
Weve got positions weve got to get
better at and areas of the game to
improve.
Winter storm threats moved
Fridays practice, originally open
to the public, indoors to Anschutz
Sports Pavilion. Wednesdays prac-
tice, scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at
Memorial Stadium, is open to the
public.
Its that Kansas weather, junior
wide receiver Kerry Meier said.
Ive grown up in it and Ive never
known what to expect. It definitely
affects practice. I try and relay to
other guys that were
still going to practice,
were still going to
bang.
Regardless of the
venue, spring prac-
tices have offered a
first glimpse of play-
ers transitioning to
new roster positions.
Before this offseason,
Mangino announced
the moves of redshirt freshman
Tanner Hawkinson from tight end
to left tackle, freshman Jeremiah
Hatch from tackle to center, junior
Angus Quigley from running back
to linebacker and freshman Isiah
Barfield from cornerback to wide
receiver.
Also on the agenda has been
easing Meier into practicing solely
with receivers and moving fresh-
man Kale Pick to the backup quar-
terback position by springs end.
Were trying to get to a situation
where Kale is really comfortable
with the entire system and feels
good about everything and to get
Kerry full work at wide receiver,
Mangino said. We wont do that
until were sure that Kale is ready to
be that backup guy.
Mangino said Pick has practiced
very little with the first-team offense
but did rotate with Meier and junior
starter Todd Reesing in drills toward
the end of the day Friday. For much
of the day he had little trouble locat-
ing open receivers and at one point
took off upfield for a quick first
down. Picks teammates at the posi-
tion have offered him perspective
on the importance of experience.
Right now going through
spring ball and sitting with (Pick)
in the film room, he knows what
hes doing, Meier said. He has the
physical abilities to keep it going but
that game experience is irreplace-
able.
Meier set a school record with
97 receptions last season, doing so
while splitting time between prac-
ticing at wide receiver and quarter-
back. At this point, Meier estimated
his reps as being 70 percent wide
receiver, 30 percent quarterback,
providing extra incentive for excite-
ment.
Thats what keeps me kind of
excited and high about next year is
that spending just half the amount
of time at receiver I had that many
catches and if I increase it, Meier
said. But that could be all talk.

Missouri Relays canceled Saturday because of weather
BY jASON BAkER
jbaker@kansan.com
Te track and feld team was
planning on competing in its frst
outdoor meet this weekend, but
the weather stopped it halfway
through. Te 10th annual Mis-
souri Relays canceled its Saturday
events because of below-40-degree
temperatures and the possibility of
snow.
Te decision was solely due to
the weather, coach Stanley Red-
wine said.
Redwine said that he was fne
with the decision and that meet
ofcials had canceled the events
with the athletes health in mind.
We didnt want any of the ath-
letes to be injured, Redwine said.
Although Saturdays events were
canceled, Fridays were held. Meet
ofcials gave the athletes the op-
tion of competing Friday.
Tey gave us the choice if
we felt like we were warmed up
enough that we could run. If not,
we didnt, freshman Keyen Porter
said.
Porter decided to compete
in the 110-meter hurdles and
won his heat with 14.29 sec-
onds in the preliminary rounds.
I was already there so I might as
well run, Porter said.
Porter had the fastest time go-
ing into the fnals, which were
supposed to be held on Saturday.
With Saturday events canceled,
meet ofcials decided to use Fri-
days times as the fnal times, thus
giving Porter the victory overall in
the event.
Im pretty happy. I wanted to
run a decent time and thats pretty
good, Porter said of his perfor-
mance.
Porter said that the weath-
er could have played a fac-
tor in his performance.
I know the wind helped, but the
cold might have canceled it out,
Porter said.
Having run the 60-meter hur-
dles during the indoor season, Por-
ter said he preferred running the
110-meter hurdle event because he
felt like he had a whole race. Usu-
ally the beginning of my races are
like my worst part, Porter said.
So afer I get going, it gets better.
Porter said he hoped that
he could build of his frst
outdoor race experience.
Te team as a whole will have
its frst meet of the outdoor
season in Tuscon, Arizona, at
the Arizona Invitational next
weekend and coach Redwine
hopes for cooperative weather.
It would be great to have great
weather but its defnitely out of
our hands, Redwine said. As for
the team, I hope that the things we
werent able to do last weekend,
well be able to accomplish this
weekend.

BASEBALL
One, two, and gone: strikeouts cost Jayhawks the series
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
Its been a nagging problem all
season. During the five-game win-
ning streak it wasnt brought up
too much.
But now its at the forefront: the
Jayhawks strikeouts.
Texas A&M struck out Kansas
12 times on Sunday, and 40 times
during the weekend sweep of the
Jayhawks. Coach Ritch Price looks
at the strikeouts as an embarrass-
ment.
Weve got to reduce the num-
ber of strikeouts, Price said. Its
embarrassing the number of strike-
outs that weve had the last couple
of series.
The 6-5 victory for the Aggies
(18-9, 6-3) ended another come-
back bid. The Jayhawks (15-10,
3-3) inability to get the big hit
and usually have a strikeout
instead cost them the chance to
keep their Big 12 record above the
.500 mark.
Instead, after sweeping Texas to
get to 3-0 in conference play, Kansas
is right back where it started.
Our goal is to usually cut down
the strikeouts to five or less, junior
shortstop David Narodowski said.
Thats definitely what hurt us
offensively. Not getting runners
on bases, not hitting the ball, and
not putting it into play with two
strikes.
Texas A&M starters accounted
for 32 of those 40 strikeouts. The
superior pitching that Kansas faced
against Texas ended up costing
them over the weekend. With the
Aggie starters having their way with
the Jayhawk hitters, Kansas typical-
ly started down a three- to four-run
deficit throughout the series, and a
six-run deficit on Sunday.
After freshman starter Lee
Ridenhour kept Kansas in it during
the first three innings, the bottom
of the fourth inning broke what was
a 2-0 game into a 6-0 blowout wait-
ing to happen. A defensive miscue
in the outfield allowed the inning
to get away from the Jayhawks.
When youre in trouble you got
to make all the plays behind your
pitchers in order to give them a
chance to get out of the inning
without the inning blowing up.
Kansas did not bow out though,
when the road environment cer-
tainly would have expected it to.
After expending a lot of energy the
previous night to lose 7-6 in the
bottom of the ninth, the Jayhawks
rallied to score five runs through-
out the six, seventh, and eighth
innings. Narodowski said once the
A&M starters were out that Kansas
was able to do damage. Problem
was though, that the Aggie start-
ers were able to last until the sixth
inning.
We just let the starters go a little
bit too long when we could of got-
ten a couple hits earlier to get them
out, Narodowski said.
Missed opportunities were the
story of the game. Kansas left six
runners on base on Sunday. Price
doesnt expect his freshman- and
sophomore-heavy team to win
on the road against ranked teams
without bringing runners in when
given the chance.
You have to take advantage of
those kind of chances if you are
going beat someone as good as they
are, Price said.
The big hit just couldnt come,
however. After sophomore Tony
Thompson knocked in two runs
with the Jayhawks third consecu-
tive hit in the bottom of the eighth,
the next three hitters proceeded to
go 0-3 and left one runner on base.
The one last hit to score the run
to tie it up or put us ahead, that just
didnt happen, Narodowski said.
It ended up being Kansas last
rally. The bottom of the ninth
Kansas went down 1-2-3. The last
at-bat? It summed up the game
and the weekend series for the
Jayhawks.
Struck out looking.
Edited by Casey Miles
set her up to fail because she wasnt
dialed in and focused. She thought it
was going to be easy.
We all talked about that and I
said as a group we cant do that. But
you should have confidence, and
you should have a swagger about
you because weve played well.
The Jayhawks credit much of
their turnaround to the responsibil-
ity taken by individuals on the team
or, in other words, the ability to
accept roles.
In the basketball sense of the
word, a role is a players job descrip-
tion the tasks they must complete
in order for the team as a whole to
be successful. Early in the season,
Kansas players seemed to struggle
with the concept, either not suc-
cessfully fulfilling the role or a not
entirely buying into it.
Yet, somewhere during the sea-
son that all changed and, not coin-
cidentally, Kansas has since been
winning.
People became more comfort-
able and then they became better
because they accepted their role,
Catic said. When you know what
your role is and you come to like
it, youre naturally going to become
better.
Added junior guard Sade Morris:
Once people are like, This is my role
and I want to do it to help this team
be successful, it just makes things
a lot easier. It makes us that much
more confident in each other.
Now, the task for Kansas shifts to
New Mexico and advancing to the
final four of the WNIT. Oklahoma
State coach Kurt Budke said Kansas
appeared to be the favorite in the
tournament and with two-lopsided
victories so far, the Jayhawks have
provided backing for those words.
But, as Henrickson preached to
her team inside Allen Fieldhouse,
nothing will be easy from this point
on.
Be confident, but dont let that
keep you from focus and concentra-
tion, Henrickson said. Dont think
its going to be easy because were
playing well. Its going to be harder
because were playing well.

After two days of rain and
cancellations at the Liz Murphey
Collegiate tournament, the
womens golf team finished 18th
overall. Only one round of 18
holes was played on Sunday
due to bad weather Friday and
Saturday. Up against some of the
top-ranked teams in the country,
the team struggled to keep up.
The final team score for
Kansas was 327, which was
39 over par. The team was led
by junior Emily Powers, who
finished 30th in the field of 96
individuals at the tournament.
Powers ended with a score of 77
strokes, being over par by five.
Powers, who usually averages
75.33 strokes, started off with a
birdie and stayed under par for
the next three holes.
Following Powers were
sophomores Grace Thiry and
Meghna Bal who both tied
for 79th place individually
and finished 11 over par, with
83 strokes total. Both athletes
average under 80 strokes.
Sophomore Sydney Wilson and
junior Meghan Gockel tied for
84th finishing with a score of 84
strokes, 12 over par.
Auburn finished first as a team
with a score of 299 followed
by Kent State and Alabama
with 302. The Jayhawks next
tournament will be the Susie
Maxwell Berning Invitational in
Norman, Okla., April 5-6.

Lee Ridenhour, who was
on a run of three consecu-
tive quality starts (six innings
pitched with no more than
three runs allowed) had to
come back down to earth
sometime, right? The wun-

his frst rough outing of the
season against the potent Ag-
gies lineup to fall to 3-2.

The Jayhawks have yet to
hit a ball out of the park in
conference play, and in only
one of the last eight games
have they managed to hit
a home run. The one was a
notable exception Tony
Thompsons two home run

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Tyler
Hansbrough deferred to his team-
mates just as hed hinted he
might.
This was no one-on-one match-
up down low. Instead, North
Carolina rolled past Blake Griffin
and Oklahoma with a total team
effort.
Ty Lawson scored 19 points
and top-seeded North Carolina
overcame a quiet game from
Hansbrough to beat the Sooners
72-60 Sunday in the South Regional
final.
North Carolina (32-4) advanced
to the Final Four for the second
straight year and will play Villanova
in the national semifinals.
This is what we work for, the
Tar Heels Wayne Ellington said.
We put so much work in and
sweat in the offseason to get not
to this point, but past this point. It
means a lot to be able to get to this
point and have an opportunity to
win the whole thing.
Danny Green scored 18 points
for the Tar Heels and Deon
Thompson added 10. Hansbrough
was in foul trouble early and fin-
ished with only eight points, but
hed said the previous day he wasnt
going to be caught
up in a head-to-
head battle with
Griffin.
Griffin scored
23 points with
16 rebounds for
s e c ond- s e e de d
Oklahoma, but
the Sooners (30-6)
went 2-for-19 from
3-point range.
One thing about
Blake is I think hes tough down
low to box out, Hansbrough said.
I think one thing about him is
hes one of the best rebounders
Ive played against and so that was
very tough. I think he gets a lot of
stuff off offensive rebounds and
his rebounding ability was some-
thing I think Im not really used
to seeing.
Still, it was Hansbrough who
was standing on the court after the
game, posing for pictures while
the Tar Heels cut down the nets.
Thats a routine this program has
down pat.
North Carolina reached a record
18th Final Four. UCLA has been to
18, but the Bruins 1980 appearance
was later vacated by the NCAA
because of rules violations.
This will be the Tar Heels second
Final Four in a row and ninth in 19
seasons and it will be played at
Detroits Ford Field,
where they routed
Michigan State 98-63
in December. Earlier
Sunday, the Spartans
also reached the
Final Four.
North Carolina
lost in the semifinals
last season.
This team has
dealt with a great
deal of adversity and a great deal
of expectations from other people
and they have us going to Detroit,
coach Roy Williams said.
North Carolina led 61-40 before
Oklahoma scored nine straight
points, including its first 3-pointer
after 15 misses to start the game.
Lawson made a couple free throws
with 4:12 to play to halt that run.
We fully believed we were going
to win this basketball game today,
but this is how life is sometimes. It
doesnt happen the way you want
it, Oklahoma coach
Jeff Capel said. I
thought the game
wouldve been a lot
more interesting if we
couldve made some
shots, but I thought
we had some really
good looks.
Hansbrough was
The Associated Press
player of the year
in 2008, and Griffin has made
an impressive bid for this years
honor. It wasnt much of a con-
test on the stat sheet, but the Tar
Heels set the tone by swarming
Griffin early with double teams.
He didnt score before making two
free throws with 8:29 remaining in
the first half.
Thats something we faced as a
team all year, Griffin said. Teams
might not have as many guys like
that.
Both teams appeared tight at the
start, but the Tar Heels loosened
up quickly. Lawson pulled up for
a jumper from the free throw line
that gave North Carolina a 13-2
lead and forced Oklahoma to take
a timeout less than six minutes in.
At first, Griffin was content to
pass out of the double teams, and
Oklahoma accomplished one of
its goals by controlling the pace.
North Carolina didnt have many
early fast breaks
and even tossed up
several uncharac-
teristic air balls.
At the other
end, however,
the Sooners were
stagnant. After a
3-pointer by Green
put the Tar Heels
ahead 28-16, the
shot clock ran out
on Oklahoma when Griffin was
double teamed and the Sooners
didnt react quickly enough.
With his teammates shoot-
ing poorly, Griffin became more
aggressive, scoring Oklahomas
last seven points of the half, but
the Sooners still trailed 32-23 at
intermission their lowest-scor-
ing half of the season. Oklahoma
scored all its first-half points from
the paint or the foul line.
Green scored 14 points in the
first half. Hansbrough picked up
two fouls in the first seven minutes
and played only nine in the half.
North Carolina made its first six
shots of the second half, and the
Tar Heels were able to maintain a
comfortable lead.
North Carolina eventually went
ahead 53-38 on a 3-pointer by
Lawson.
On Saturday, Williams uttered
perhaps the weeks most prescient
quote:
If you say, Tyler, youre going
to have eight points and seven
rebounds but North Carolina is
going to win, hes going to be the
happiest guy in town.
Hansbrough had eight points
and six rebounds, and he and his
teammates were happy and headed
back to the Final Four.
Its a different team, Green
said. Its a new year, a new day.
Its a new game, and we know what
our goals are.

Sophomore guard Tyrel Reed
Reed fouled out in 21 minutes of play, but that
wasnt his only ofense. He had three points and
passed up a number of open looks. He fnished
1-for-2 from the foor. Defensively, he also looked
helpless letting his man penetrate without
much resistance. Its too bad this distinction can go
to only one player, but everyone not named Sher-
ron Collins and Cole Aldrich probably deserved it.
The role players didnt, well, play their roles.
IT WAS OVER WHEN ...
GAME TO REMEMbER ...
GAME TO FORGET ...
STAT OF THE NIGHT ...
Junior guard Sherron Collins missed the front end of a one-and-one
with 19 seconds remaining. The free-throwattempt hit of the front
of the rimand Michigan States Travis Walton got the rebound. Kansas
trailed 65-62 when Collins got to the line after being fouled by Walton.
A comeback looked improbable at that point, but not impossible. After
Collins missed free throw, a victory did become impossible. Collins said
everything about the free throwfelt right when he released it, it just
didnt go in.
11:19. Thats the Jayhawks assist-to-turnover ratio. Its simply not
good enough to win an NCAA Tournament game.

FIRST HALF
12:28 A defensive specialist,
Brady Morningstar isnt known for
his dunks. In fact, Fridays break-
away slammay have been his frst
successful dunk of the season.
6:00 Lightning strikes again
as Morningstar makes his second
steal and fnishes his second
breakaway with another slam.
Morningstar had six points at
halftime but missed all three of
his second-half shots.
3:27 Cole Aldrichs dunk put
Kansas up 13, its largest lead of
the game. Aldrich fnished the
frst half with 10 points, eight
rebounds, four assists and two
blocks.
0:00 After originally waving
it of, the referees looked at Goran
Sutons last-second jump shot
and ruled that he beat the clock.
Sutons buzzer-beater gave him
13 frst-half points and pulled
Michigan State within seven.
SECOND HALF
2:07 After missing a free
throw, Durrell Summers saved
the loose ball fromgoing out of
bounds and Spartan coachTom
Izzo called a timeout. On the next
play Michigan State scored to tie
the game at 60-60.
0:48 In a play that involved
each teams star, Kalin Lucas
pump-faked Sherron Collins to
drawa foul while hitting the
jumper. Lucas added the free
throwto move ahead 63-60.
0:19 A questionable foul
sent Collins to the line, where
the 80 percent free-throw
shooter missed the front end of a
one-and-one. It was just Kansas
second missed free throwof the
game.
0:14 Cole Aldrich couldnt
corral Collins missed free throw,
which forcedTyrel Reed to foul
Lucas Michigan States best
free throwshooter. Lucas drilled
both to propel his teaminto the
Elite Eight while ending Kansas
season.

LOCKER ROOM SCENE
Its the most emotional setting
in sports the losers locker
roomin an elimination game.
Kansas was no exception.
Sophomore guard Brady Morning-
star bawled. Sophomore center
Cole Aldrich sobbed. Most of the
other Jayhawks stared straight
down at the foor.
There was certainly no lack of
emotional comments to match
the mood.
We all didnt want it to end,
Aldrich said. Weve got 16 broth-
ers on our team. I would not trade
any of them.
Collins frustration showed in a
couple of puzzling comments.
I feel like, right now, if we play
this game again,Collins said, we
win by 20 or something.
I didnt want it to end this way,
Collins said. I would have rather
gotten blown out than lose in a
close game.
COLLINS, ALDRICH
TALK AbOUT LOOMING
DECISION
A hot topic of conversation in
the locker roomwas whether the
defeat to Michigan State would be
Sherron Collins and Cole Alrichs
last game as Jayhawks.
Both have the opportunity
to declare for the NBA Draft. Al-
though neither gave a defnitive
answer on their future, Collins was
a little clearer.
Right now,Collins said, Im
coming back.
Collins said the only way he
could envision himself leaving
was if Kansas coach Bill Self does
research and determines his draft
stock was the highest it could get.
Aldrich laid out no specifc plan.
He kept his responses to NBA
Draft questions vague.
Imnot worried about that
right now,Aldrich said. Its going
to take me a good while to get
over this one, because this one
really hurts.
Collins and Aldrich have a while
to decide as the deadline for early
entry applicants to the NBA Draft
is not until April 26th.

BYTAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
INDIANAPOLIS The
Jayhawks hada plan, andfor more
than 36 minutes they executed it
to near-perfection.
With 3:22 remaining, Kansas
was out-rebounding the nations
best rebounding team 35-25, and
it was a big reason the Jayhawks
led 60-55. Then, everything went
wrong.
Kansas couldnt hit a field goal
and Sherron Collins, an 80-per-
cent free-throw shooter, missed
the front end of a one-and-one.
But the Jayhawks demise began
on the glass, where the Spartans
erased their deficit with four
offensive rebounds in just over a
minute.
Down the stretch, when it
counts the most, we just kind of
let our guard down and they out-
rebounded us, sophomore guard
Tyrel Reed said. It just takes one
possession to lose a game.
That damning possession dif-
fers depending on whos speak-
ing. However, the consensus
play seems to be Michigan States
offensive rebound after a missed
free throw with 2:06 to go and
Kansas still clinging to a 60-58
advantage.
Two possessions before that,
Michigan State pulled within
three thanks to Durrell Summers
tip-in. Kansas had two chances to
secure a rebound on that posses-
sion, but instead each went to a
Spartan.
Michigan State center Goran
Suton, who registered 20 points
and nine rebounds, started the
next possession with a defensive
board. Again the Jayhawks forced
a missed shot, only to watch the
ball end up in Spartys control
once more.
Kansas eventually fouled
Summers and he hit the first
free throw, which set up Kansas
nightmare scenario.
It came down to a free throw,
Kansas coach Bill Self said. They
missed their free throwand come
away with two points on a missed
free throw because we didnt
secure the rebound.
Summers secondshot bounced
off the left side of the rim, drop-
ping towardbig menCole Aldrich
and Suton. The two staged a low-
post battle all evening, but Sutons
fingertip won the war as he out-
reached Aldrich and nudged the
ball towards Michigan States
bench.
Summers hustledover fromthe
free-throw line, toed the sideline
and saved the ball to Kalin Lucas
before falling out of bounds.
That was a big change in the
flow of the game because it gave
them an extra possession and it
led to points, Aldrich said.
Spartan coach TomIzzo called
a timeout after Summers save
and drew up a play that resulted
in a wide-open dunk to tie the
game.
(Coach) always told us games
always come down to one pos-
session, said freshman forward
Markieff Morris, who pulled
down seven rebounds. That was
the possession that hurt us.
Lucas put MichiganState ahead
for good with his and-one bucket
against Collins.
Although Kansas big men
Aldrich, Marcus and Markieff
Morris and Mario Little
combined for 24 rebounds, the
Jayhawks only boards in the final
four minutes came as the last eight
seconds ticked off the clock and
their season was already over.
They wanted it more, Marcus
Morris said. We cant teach that;
they just out-worked us at the
end.

sophomore guard Brady Morningstar skies for his second dunk of the frst half Friday. Morningstar stole the ball fromthe
Spartans Korie Lucious and his slamgave the Jayhawks a 10-point advantage.
forced the Spartans into des-
peration.
Basketball this time of year
comes down to one or two
possessions, Self said. And
thats certainly what happened
tonight.
Michigan State won those
possessions. The Spartans
recovered from their five-point
deficit and tied the game at 60
in less than two minutes after
point guard Kalin Lucas drove
the lane to free Raymar Morgan
for a dunk.
Collins raced to the bas-
ket on the other end, but got
careless with the ball and lost
it when attempting a pass to
Aldrich. Turnovers plagued the
Jayhawks all night. Collins had
six of Kansas 19.
The biggest thing, Self said,
was we turned the ball over.
Taylor said the biggest thing
was that Kansas just couldnt
get a stop with the game on the
line. Michigan States posses-
sion after Collins turnover was
the best example.
Lucas, who finished with
18 points and seven assists,
blew past Collins and rose for
a 10-foot jump shot. Collins
fouled him and the shot still
swished. After the three-point
play, Michigan State led 63-60.
I got an and-one called on
me, Collins said shaking his
head. It was a big play.
After Collins two uncharac-
teristic gaffes, he still received
a final shot at redemption: a
free throw.
With 19 seconds remain-
ing and Kansas trailing 65-62,
Collins got to the line for a
one-and-one. Collins, who ear-
lier in the season set the Kansas
record by making 35 straight
free throws, shorted the first
attempt and Michigan State
corralled the rebound. The
Spartans had knocked off the
defending national champions.
I think we were relying too
much on Sherron to make plays
for us, Taylor said.
That was the story all year.
Most of the time, it worked.
Friday night, it failed.

Woods makes
victorious return
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tiger Woods celebrates after sinking a putt to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational golf tourna-
ment at Bay Hill in Orlando, Fla., Sunday. Woods closed with a 3-under 67 for a one-shot victory
over Sean OHair.
BY DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. The clutch
shots. The late charge. An electric
birdie putt on the 18th hole at Bay
Hill.
Yep, Tiger Woods is back.
With those familiar back-nine
heroics and a putt most everyone
knew he was going to make, Woods
holed a 15-footer for birdie to win
the Arnold Palmer Invitational for
his first victory since returning
from knee surgery.
Woods closed with a 3-under
67 for a one-shot victory over
hard-luck Sean OHair, matching
his largest comeback on the PGA
Tour.
It feels good to be back in con-
tention, to feel the rush, Woods
said. Its been awhile, but God, it
felt good.
Just like last year, when Woods
made a 25-foot birdie on the final
hole at Bay Hill for a one-shot vic-
tory, he delivered a high-charged
celebration. Instead of slamming
his cap to the ground, he turned
and ran into the arms of his caddie,
who lifted him off his feet.
Woods had not been atop the
leaderboard since he won the U.S.
Open in a 19-hole playoff last June.
He had reconstructive surgery
on his left knee a week later, and
missed the next eight months.
With two indifferent results at
World Golf Championships, there
were questions whether he would
be ready for the Masters in two
weeks. Not anymore. He rallied
from a five-shot deficit and deliv-
ered one crucial shot after another.

BY MICHAEL MAROT
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS Even before
Michigan States first game of the
season, coach Tom Izzo gathered
his players and spelled out their
goal.
Ford Field, he wrote on a dry-
erase board.
That part of the Motown mis-
sion is now complete.
The Spartans gave the Final Four
a hometown feel, stopping overall
No. 1 seed Louisville 64-52 Sunday
to win the Midwest Regional.
Goran Suton had 19 points and
10 rebounds as
the second-seeded
Spartans (30-6)
played the pace
game to perfection
and reached their
fifth Final Four
in 11 years the
most trips of any
team in the nation
during that span.
Only 90 miles from
their campus in East Lansing, the
Spartans will play Connecticut on
Saturday at Ford Field in Detroit. A
crowd of 72,000, the largest ever for
college basketballs signature event,
is expected for each game.
Detroit, here we come, said
Izzo, a Michigan native. I cant tell
you how much Im looking forward
to that.
The Spartans made it 30 years
after Magic Johnson led them to a
national title over Larry Bird and
Indiana State.
Detroit needs something,
Michigan needs something to feel
good about, said Johnson, who
was at the game. And right now,
the whole state is feeling good
about this Michigan State team.
Along with advancing, the
Spartans prevented a Big East blitz
in the Final Four coach Rick
Pitino and Louisville (31-6) were
trying to become the third school
from the power-packed conference
to make it.
They were the better team,
Louisvilles Terrence Williams said.
They were quicker than us, their
defense was more physical and we
couldnt turn them over like we
wanted to.
Next weeks short trip will be a
special treat for many Spartans
eight Michigan residents are on
the roster.
Durrell Summers, who delivered
10 second-half points, grew up in
Detroit. Kalin Lucas, the Big Ten
player of the year, was raised 10
minutes from the giant stadium.
Michigan has one of the nations
highest unemployment rates and
Detroits economy, which is heavily
reliant on the flailing auto-making
industry, has been reeling. The
team is certainly
aware of the states
plight.
Im just hoping
were a silver lining
in whats been kind
of a cloudy year for
us, Izzo said. Im
hoping that were the
sunshine, Im hoping
were something to
embrace.
After traveling to Indianapolis,
Minneapolis and back to
Indianapolis the last three week-
ends, the Spartans showed their
zeal at the end.
Exuberant players were hugging
with more than a minute to go,
and as the buzzer sounded, Isaiah
Dahlman tossed the ball high into
the air as play-
ers and coaches
jumped for joy,
then took part in
a group hug just in
front of the bench.
The game
went nothing like
Louisville expect-
ed.
Its vaunted
pressure defense produced no fast-
break points. After committing
nine turnovers in Fridays 39-point
rout over Arizona, the Cardinals
matched that total in 18 minutes
Sunday. They opened the game on
a scoring drought that lasted nearly
four minutes.
And two days after scoring 103
points, they barely avoided setting
a new a season-low point total
thanks to Earl Clarks 3-pointer with
12 seconds left. Louisville scored
51 points against Connecticut on
Feb. 2.
The biggest problem was
Michigan States aggressive man-to-
man defense, which kept Louisville
out of sync all day.
I think that was our biggest
problem, the fact that the last six,
seven games we probably have
had 90 percent zones, Pitino said.
We got very good at going against
zones, but that man-to-man gave
us trouble tonight because our
inside attack wasnt there.
The combination sent Louisville
to its second straight regional final
loss and marked the third straight
year Pitinos team was eliminated
on the second day of a weekend.
But Pitino didnt blame this one
on fatigue.
Instead, he credited Michigan
State for playing a physical, delib-
erate style that finally broke the
Cardinals just as Izzo choreo-
graphed it.
The game plan was beautiful.
The guys executed the game plan
to perfection, Johnson said. The
key to the game was going to be the
pace of the game and our defense.
We got the pace and we played great
defense and that was the key.
The Cardinals never figured it
out, and never managed to produce
one of those trademark scoring
runs.
Clark led Louisville
with 19 points, but
the only other play-
er to reach double
figures was back-
up guard Preston
Knowles, who had
all 11 points in the
first half. Williams
finished with five
points, six rebounds and four
assists.
Just about everything went the
Spartans way.
Although Louisville trailed 30-27
at the half, Williams acknowl-
edged the sluggish start affected
the Cardinals second-half perfor-
mance.
They did manage to take a 34-32
lead with 15:33 to go, but then the
Spartans took control.
With Suton on the bench,
Michigan State went on a 9-2
run to rebuild a 41-36 lead. Then
Summers got going. He hit a long
jumper, just inside the 3-point line,
followed that with a 3 and ended
the 17-7 spurt with another three
to give Michigan State an insur-
mountable 58-43 lead with 5:50
to go.
Louisville had only one more
basket the rest of the way, finishing
this part of Michigan States drive
to the Final Four.
Its as big a win as our school
has had because were going to
Detroit, and thats been a dream
and a goal since they announced
where the Final Four was in 2009,
Izzo said.
Michigan State Spartans feel at home in Final Four
Team will play at Ford Field in Detroit for fifth Final Four in 11 years
Michael Conroy/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Michigan State coach TomIzzo raises the trophy after a 64-52 victory against Louisville in the NCAA Midwest Regional mens college basketball
tournament fnal Sunday in Indianapolis. Michigan State advances to the Final Four in Detroit.
Im just hoping
were a silver lining in
whats been kind of a
cloudy year for us.

Aviles could enter season
at bottom of batting lineup
PEORIA, Ariz. Mike Aviles hit
.325 as a rookie and was selected
the Kansas City Royals player of
the year, while batting primary
leadof or second.
But this season, Aviles could
fnd himself dropping to the
bottom of the lineup and batting
ninth.
If Mark Teahen wins the second
base job and he has emerged
as the front runner with a .500 bat-
ting average over Alberto Callaspo
and Willie Bloomquist he would
likely bat third, with Coco Crisp
and David DeJesus flling the frst
two slots. In that scenario, Aviles
would likely bat at the bottom of
the order.
If we have Mike Aviles able to
hit ninth, it is not necessarily a
demotion, but an appreciation of
his abilities, Royals manager Trey
Hillman said Sunday. If it does fall
that way, I think we would have
more of a difcult lineup to pitch
to.
