mily Hooker has waited 30 minutes for an elliptical machine and shes frustrated. If I go in the evening I have to wait every single time, Hooker, a junior from Andover, said. Sometimes I just give up and leave. Whether students are sticking to their New Years resolutions or trying to slim down for spring break, the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center is seeing high volume. With a total enrollment of 30,102 at the University, some wonder why facilities such as the recreation center arent larger. I definitely think it needs to be expanded, Hooker said. Its just not supporting students like it should. The recreation center, which opened in 2003, underwent an extreme expansion that started in 2007 and was completed in 2008. With an addition of 45,000 square feet, the $6.3 million project created a quarter-mile track, four gymnasiums and racquetball courts among

other new amenities. Hooker said the money she paid in campus fees wasnt well spent. I cant buy a pass elsewhere and I shouldnt have to, she said. I already pay to go to the rec. Students pay a student recreation and fitness center fee of $75.50 per semester as part of student fees. Student fees total $423.35 each semester. Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said the building was given a limited amount of space but as many as 5,000 students have visited the recreation center in one day. We did a lot with the space that we were given, Chappell said. If we had more space we could fill it up. With intramural sports now flooding the courts, Chappell said the recreation center will be overcrowded at times. This semester, 250 intramural basketball teams have signed up to play at the recreation center. Now, there is a waiting list for teams because they are out of playing space. Intramural basketball is coming up and when that happens it seems like were exploding at the seams, she said. But things change with the weather. People can

He said many students use e-mail services such as Hotmail or Gmail to store and transfer files. Megan Gannon, graphics coordinator and Web services administrator in the Office of Research and Graduate Studies, said she has been using Hawk Drive since for some time. As a graphics coordinator, she works with large files and says she finds the new online space useful. I like best that it gives me a way to transfer files without clogging up my e-mail or others, especially off-campus, Gannon said.

Over the last two fiscal years, alumni and other donors have broken records for donations to the University of Kansas Endowment Association. Rosita Elizalde-McCoy, senior vice president of communications and marketing, said in fiscal year 2008, donors contributed $94 million, the highest amount ever donated to the Endowment Association at that time. That record was broken again in fiscal year 2009 with donors giving $106.4 million. In 2009 the Endowment Association funded student scholarships, fellowships and awards amounting to $29.3 million and $5.2 million for student loans. The Endowment Association also supports faculty, research, academic programs and new facilities. Elizalde-McCoy said, in total, the association gave $105.4 million to the University in 2009. Abe Jacobs, a senior from St. Paul, Minn. and student manager at the Endowment Association call center, said because of KUs tradition, alumni are willing to give even in this economy. Last year was a really fantastic year because we have great alumni, Jacobs said, Most couldnt give everything they had but they usually still participated and gave some amount because we have such great tradition here. Fundraising has been a challenge for colleges across the nation. According to a report by the Giving USA Foundation, in fiscal year 2009, giving to universities declined to its lowest drop in 50 years. Still, the Endowment Association has seen contributions in harsh economic times. While average college endowment returns were down by 18.7 percent last year, The University of Kansas endowment sees redemption ahead, according to Elizalde-McCoy. In a study by Commonfund and the National Association of College and University Business Officers found, on average, 842 of participating colleges are suffering the highest decline for higher education since the

QUOTE OF THE DAY

There is no way that this winter is *ever* going to end as long as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I dont see any other way out. Hes got to be stopped. And I have to stop him.

FACT OF THE DAY

Groundhogs are one of the few animals that really hibernate. Hibernation is not just a deep sleep. It is actually a deep coma, where the body temperature drops to a few degrees above freezing, the heart barely beats, the blood scarcely flows, and breathing nearly stops.

Spotlight on Organizations | KU Fencing

By Sydney BalleSteroS
sballesteros@kansan.com The art of fencing has been around for a while, even at the University of Kansas. The KU Fencing Club started in 1926 and was mainly for students who wanted to fence both recreationally and competitively, said Joseph Scalet, the clubs president. Scalet, a sophomore from Wellsville, started fencing as a freshman in high school. It sounded like something fun to do, Scalet said. The club instructs students in the ways of modern Olympicstyle fencing. It also boasts a noncompetitive atmosphere. The club teaches people of all fencing levels, including first-time fencers, and teaches three styles: sabre, foil and pe. clothes and a pair of tennis shoes. On any given night of practice The equipment list for fencing is we see anywhere from four to 15 extensive and includes jackets, arm members, said Brian McDow, the protectors, weapons, masks and clubs advisor gloves.

Giant squid invade California waters

neWPorT beAcH, calif. Giant squid weighing up to 60 pounds have invaded the california waters off newport beach and are being caught by sport fishermen by the hundreds. The squid showed up last week and anglers started booking twilight fishing trips over the weekend to catch them. The animals weigh between

20 and 40 pounds, but a few fishermen have reeled in 60-pound creatures. The Humboldt squid is also called the jumbo squid or jumbo flying squid and squirts ink to protect itself. They can grow up to 100 pounds and 6 feet long and follow food sources. The squid have also recently been spotted off san diego, oregon and Washington. robert Woodbury with newport Landing sportfishing says

anglers in orange county have caught about 400 of the big squid since Friday night.

With the recognition of The Undergrounds popularity, KU Dining Services knew they needed to offer students other alternatives. We were surprised at how quickly The Underground became popular, Golledge said. We immediately began adjusting our master plan to help spread out the traffic across campus. Four Hawk Stops were added across campus, three of which, in Strong, Watson Library and Anschutz libraries, are in close proximity to The Underground. The Anschutz Hawk Stop will be renovated to include a coffee Pulse Express and a wider range of food options. Other dining services, such as The Studio in Hashinger Hall and The Market at the Kansas Union, have been renovated in recent years. Even with the several different dining areas around campus, Golledge said she sometimes receives complaints about the lack of seating in The Underground. We do hear a few comments mainly during the winter when the outdoor seating is not being used, she said. Golledge said the staff does all it can to keep the crowds moving in order for all diners to have a good experience. The Underground leadership does a great job being visible on the floor during peak serving hours to assist guests with moving through the operation, Golledge said. They monitor the situation and offer suggestions on available seats. Edited by Kristen Liszewski

Black Eyed Peas sued by Chicago rapper

cHIcAGO Are the Black Eyed Peas a bunch of swagger jackers? An online music magazine posed that question last year when comparisons first surfaced between a chicago rappers song, Boom Dynamite, and the Peas hit Boom Boom Pow. A swagger jack, according to urbandictionary. com, is a someone who appropriates anothers music. The combustible question has blown up into a federal lawsuit filed last week by chicago singer Phoenix Phenom, and her manager/producer, Manfred Mohr. The hook portions of the song are so strikingly similar that there can be no other reasonable explanation but that the Black Eyed Peas copied Phoenixs song, according to the lawsuit.

Unclogging The Underground

Man, I got on FFA today thinking I just loved making out. Thank God I know now that I have deep emotional problems. n n n

Come to a meeting and get free cookies, coffee and kisses! n n n

Whatever happened to hand jobs? Did those go out of style with yo momma jokes? n n n

I just realized I had an opening with a girl and totally blew it because I didnt read her signals. n n n

E.L.E.: Everybody love everybody! n n n

Yum, I love meat in my mouth. n n n

Girls need to understand that men will hardly ever understand their signals, no matter how obvious they try to convey to men that they are attracted to them. n n n

tudents love The Underground in Wescoe Hall for its numerous cuisine choices and convenient campus location. Unfortunately, because of extreme overcrowding, this hub of campus food favorites has been deemed a frustratingly congested dining service. This congestion isnt just annoying for students; its also a safety risk. KU Dining Services must make an effort to fix this problem. The cold weather plays a role in the overcrowding in The Underground. When it is too cold to eat outside, people jam into the limited indoor space. During this years winter months, an average of 3,000 transactions occurred every day at The Underground. This results not only in lengthy waits for tables to open, but also dangerous clusters as people crowd walking space and exits. When The Underground opened in September 2004, designers were not given a lot of room to work with, according to Nona Golledge, director of Dining Services. The original location was 7,000 square feet and housed mostly quick bite and snack vendors. They were able to reach 11,500 square feet with the expansion. Even with this significant amplification, space is still scarce. Though the expansion was a step in the right direction, its still not enough to meet the demand for space and address the risks of overcrowding.

The Underground can hold 707 people with an estimated 100 seats located outside. But actually keeping The Underground at capacity with all of the walking traffic is rarely accomplished. Golledge attributes this difficulty to the abundance of entrances located throughout Wescoe. Because of the cost another expansion would entail, changes to The Underground should first start with the patrons. Until the weather permits patrons to eat outside, there is little students can do to unclog The Underground. There are, however, little things they can do to make everyones experience at The Underground more enjoyable. They should start by making an effort to be courteous to their fellow students. Lone students sitting at a table for four is a common sight, as are people simply passing time at a table reading or doing a crossword puzzle. If this is you, be mindful that there is a library conveniently located across the way, or be open to meeting new students and sharing your not-so-crowded table with a couple of strangers. Responsibility should also be assumed by Dining Services, which needs to find a way to enforce the limit of people allowed in The Underground to make sure it is a safe environment for students.

he recent Google versus China affair revealed two things to the world. First, it is apparently illegal in China to give flowers without a permit, as wreaths left on the doorsteps of Google China were deemed an illegal flower tribute and were taken away by Chinese police. The second revelation is something altogether more serious than contraband tulips: It is the state of constant warfare that exists in cyberspace, penetrating private industries and governments around the world. The Chinese government has denied involvement in the hacking attacks targeted toward Google and the Gmail accounts of human rights activists. Despite this, multiple cyber-security analysts still claim the Chinese government, either directly or through a proxy, is responsible for these attacks. Quite honestly, it is hard to believe a country with such tight control over the Web that searches for Tiananmen Square come up blank would allow independent breaches of cybersecurity to originate within its borders. Google originally opened its Chinese operations under the caveat that it would help the government to strangle the free-flow of information on the Internet. However, in reaction to the recent attacks, Google reversed its policy of allowing China to censor search results on its engine. It also threatened to pull its operations out of the country if China refused to cooperate. Though Googles turnaround in policy is an impressive show of support for human rights and freedom of speech, what the entire affair should do is make us reconsider what we call war. During the last few years, multiple computer attacks have resulted in the theft of precious data from U.S. national security institutions. Violations include the Pentagon, national laboratories such as Sandia and companies such as Lockheed Martin.

Though it is only publicly suspected that China is to blame, there is enough evidence to assume Chinese military operations have stolen U.S. security secrets. So at what point do we call it a war? Though war with China would never be a good thing, it is highly unlikely that our two countries would ever come to blows. We need to show them that we dont take these attacks lightly. Attacks on our digital infrastructure should be handled as seriously as those against the homeland. The U.S. is in need of a serious investment in its cybersecurity, but thats only one part of the problem. The issue is not only confined to the U.S. and China, but it needs to be dealt with by the international community as a whole. In 2007, the entire governmental and economic infrastructure of Estonia, a country once lauded for advancements in e-government, was shut down by Russian attacks. These attacks came either officially or through independent groups working for the government. Similar denial-of-service attacks against Georgia preceded the 2008 Russian invasion. If shutting down an entire country by force isnt an act of war, Im not sure where we draw the line. While we laugh about illegal flower tributes and praise Googles moral integrity, we should also be concerned with the changing nature of war and how the U.S. can meet the cybersecurity challenges it faces.

hen our parents were in college, the sight of an obese person was a rarity. Today, those who are excessively overweight are no longer considered a minority. The National Institute of Health found that 64.5 percent of Americans are overweight and nearly a third of the population is clinically obese. Although theses numbers are already staggering, the country is only getting fatter. By 2015, 75 percent of Americans are expected to be overweight and 41 percent obese according to the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health. With numbers like these, the argument that individual irresponsibility or lack of self-control is the sole cause of the obesity epidemic would be irrational. Although there is certainly some individual fault, Americas eating problem can be seen in the center aisles of the everyday grocery store and the absurdly low prices of fast food items. This connection is no coincidence. As author Michael Pollan frankly put in an interview with Christian Science Monitor, We are subsidizing obesity. U.S. crop subsidies were initially used to ensure the financial survival of farmers and thwart off famine during the great depres-

sion. Now, though, crop subsidies serve a different purpose. Today, the most highly subsidized crop is corn. Corn subsidies jumped from around $2.5 in 2004 to more than $9 billion dollars in the past two years. As a result, junk food products containing subsidized-corn ingredients are extremely cheap. This skews the food market for costumers to purchase unhealthy foods. Anyone gulping a Coke, biting into a KFC drumstick, munching on a Twinkie or partaking in all three, is ingesting some form of processed corn. Among the most lethaland popularof the corn concoctions is high-fructose corn syrup. This serves as a fatty sweetener found in soft drinks, yogurts, cookies, salad dressing and countless other products. Meanwhile, vegetables and other healthy selections in the grocery store are either imported from foreign countries or their producers receive little to no aid

from the government. The prices tell the story. For low-income families, the rational choice among the grocery aisles would be the cheap, less-healthy foods instead of expensive vegetables. Not surprisingly, poverty is one of the most prominent indicators for higher obesity rates. Food production companies catering to the fast food industry use subsidized corn to feed their animals because its cheap. In turn, fast food companies use subsidized ingredients to create food-like items on the dollar menu. Although many of these junkfood items may seem cheap at first, we are all paying the price. With cancers, diabetes, heart disease, and countless other health problems that arise from an unhealthy diet, it is estimated that we are paying more than $75 billion a year because of our poor eating habits. Taxpayers are paying corporations to cook for us. Consequently, companies have created a system that provides extremely cheap items containing three ingredients that our bodies are hardwired to love: salt, sugar and fat. We are all getting sick because of it. Katz is a junior from Overland Park in creative writing and political science.

ake it from Sarah, the 1990s called and it wants its grammar back. First person speech is as out of style as the fanny pack. Just as some try to hang on to the outdated fanny by throwing it over a shoulder and calling it a roo, people just cant seem to let go of the first person pronouns. Sarah has moved on. Third person is what its all about. If Sarahs parents had wanted her to blend into the sea of first person pronoun-ers in her 300-person lecture class, they would have named her I or me; Professors dont know one I from the other 299. Sarah has emerged from monotony with omniscient narration of her own life. Narcissism is in for 2010.

as a third person reference ever sounded anything but ridiculous? Before using a third person reference, consider the message you are sending to others about yourself. If you consider yourself important enough to drop the usual first person I and replace it with your name when speaking, others are likely to consider you pompous. Youll probably receive several eye rolls and mockery as a result. Its doubtful friends will soon let you forget it. If you need a modern example to understand the silliness of third person references, look no further than the reality-hit Jersey Shore. The Situation loves talking about The Situation. But everyone except The Situation thinks The Situation is a tool. Just sayin.

Kansas ranked No. 1 in AP poll

by JIM oConnELL
Associated Press After three weeks of not being No. 1, Kansas moved back to the top of The Associated Press college basketball poll. The Jayhawks (20-1) were No. 1 in the preseason Top 25 and for the first eight weeks of the regular season. They moved back into the top spot Monday, receiving 54 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel. The other three Division I teams with just one loss Villanova, Syracuse and Kentucky were second through fourth. Villanova and Syracuse both moved up one place to second and third. The Wildcats (19-1) received four first-place votes while the Orange (21-1) got six. Kentucky was a unanimous No.

1 last week but dropped to fourth after losing to South Carolina, its first loss of the season. The Wildcats (20-1) had one firstplace vote. Kansas fell from No. 1 to third after losing at Tennessee. Since then, the Jayhawks have won six straight, including Saturdays 81-79 overtime victory at Kansas State. Kansas coach Bill Self said now that conference races are under way, it will be hard for any team to hold on for long at the top. There could be a new No. 1 next week, and the week after, he said. Because when you play road league games, people are going to lose. Its not a major upset. We won the national championship and lost three league games in five games. But Id rather play like a No. 1-ranked team than be ranked No. 1. Hopefully, we can do that. Michigan State was fifth, followed by West Virginia, Georgetown, Purdue and Texas, which dropped from sixth to ninth. The Longhorns (18-3) were No. 1 for two weeks before dropping to sixth last week. Their 80-77 overtime loss to Baylor on Saturday was their third in four games. Duke and Kansas State tied for 10th. BYU was 12th followed by Ohio State, Tennessee, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Vanderbilt, Temple and Baylor. The last five ranked teams were Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh, Butler, Northern Iowa and

Mississippi. Butler and Northern Iowa returned to the poll this week, replacing Connecticut and UAB. Butler (18-4) was 11th in the preseason poll but dropped out for five weeks. The Bulldogs have won 10 straight games and are 11-0 in the Horizon League. Northern Iowa (19-2) moved into the rankings two weeks ago at No. 20 and then dropped out after losing to Wichita State and ending a 15-game winning streak. The Panthers are 10-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Connecticut (13-8) fell out from 19th after losing to Providence and Marquette this week. The Huskies, who were 12th in the preseason Top 25 and reached as high as No. 10, are 2-2 since coach Jim Calhoun took an indefinite leave of absence for undisclosed medical reasons. UAB (18-3) was 25th last week, but the Blazers dropped out following a 74-65 double-overtime loss at Texas-El Paso on Saturday. UAB was ranked for one week earlier in the season. The teams that comprised last seasons Final Four are split in their poll success this season. Villanova and Michigan State, which both returned the bulk of their teams from last season, are third and fifth, respectively. Neither defending champion North Carolina (13-8) nor Connecticut, which both saw their rosters gutted by graduation and players leaving early for the NBA, received a single vote this week.

the university of Kansas Athletics department bought the First Serve tennis Facility and will rename it the Jayhawk tennis Facility. It is a great opportunity for us and the athletic department, coach Amy Hall-Holt said. It is a good way to start off the new year and get things going. they bought the facility from the founder and owner, Mike elwell for $3.1 million. the owner wanted to sell, so it made sense for us to purchase it because it is a good tennis facility and it provides a home for the team in good weather and bad, Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director, said. this facility has been home to Kansas tennis team practices and home matches since 2006 when Kansas Athletics Inc. entered into a contractual relationship with elwell. before that relationship, the team practiced as far away as topeka or Kansas City for indoor courts. I think it will enhance the quality of our program, and we will be able to accommodate our

athletes, Hall-Holt said. Leading up to the acquisition of First Serve, Kansas Athletics funded additions to the building including workout facilities and a locker room for the team, spectator viewing, along with updating some of the indoor and outdoor courts. I am excited about it and anxious to make it an exciting college venue, Hall-Holt said. We can put our own flavor with what we want to do inside to showcase current and former athletes, male and female. Over the next couple of months the department will discuss more additions. It was a well-run facility and we want to continue that, Marchiony said. We always want to improve it though. the other 150 members of First Serve will be welcome at the new facilities with their memberships continuing along with the staff staying in place. We are going to do whatever we can to make sure the club remains a viable indoor tennis facility for both Ku and the tennis players of Lawrence, Marchiony said.

Kobe gets Lakers scoring mark in loss to Grizzlies

ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Kobe Bryant scored 44 points, passing Jerry West as the Los Angeles Lakers career scorer, but it wasnt enough as the Memphis Grizzlies got 22 points and 17 rebounds from Zach Randolph to defeat the Lakers 95-93 on Monday night. Rudy Gay led Memphis with 25 points, and his 3-pointer with 29.5 seconds left helped Memphis end its two-game losing streak. Ron Artests 3-point attempt from the right side bounced high off the rim as the horn sounded, snapping the Lakers four-game winning streak. Bryant passed Wests mark on a breakaway dunk in the third quarter. Bryant made 16 of 28 shots, including 4 of 7 outside the arc. Artest added 18 points, while Pau Gasol had 10 points. Lester Hudson had 13 points for Memphis, and Marc Gasol finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds for Memphis. While Bryant got the franchise record for scoring, the loss prevented Lakers coach Phil Jackson from passing Pat Riley as the winningest coach in regular-season games for Los Angeles. The two are tied at 533. The game was tied at 88, when Memphis ran the shot clock to near the end before Randolph made a 22-footer for a 90-88 lead with 1:08 left. His two free throws extended the lead to 92-88. Bryant scored on a drive before Gays 3-pointer with 29.5 seconds left gave Memphis a 95-90 lead, and the Grizzlies held on. Memphis got an unexpected offensive boost from Hudson, the rookie shooting guard who was picked up Jan. 8 off waivers from the Celtics. Hudson had 11 points his career high in the second quarter as Memphis extended the lead to 11 before carrying a 52-50 lead into the half as the Lakers outscored Memphis 11-2 to close the half. Memphis extended the lead to 11 again at the start of the third quarter as the Lakers missed eight of their first nine shots. Meanwhile, Randolph and Gasol were effective inside. But the Lakers narrowed the deficit again. Bryants dunk to pass Wests mark in the third quarter was part of a stretch where Los Angeles closed the quarter on an 18-6 run.

Museum in financial mess

ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, a unique window into a vital chapter of American history that the late Buck ONeil helped open 20 years ago, could be in trouble. Attendance and revenues are down, and a decision by new management to distance itself from ONeil has splintered many of its most loyal supporters. Whats more, the recession has cut deeply into donations. After posting its first loss two years ago of about $30,000, the museum is looking at what one staffer termed a monster loss that could approach a quarter of a million dollars when the final accounting for 2009 is complete. For a relatively small museum that has always depended on the kindness of others, $200,000 is seismic. Much of the revenue loss is traceable to a drop in licensing long and painful march toward revenue.

With Saturday being the Jayhawks final home meet of the indoor season, Bonds will compete only once more at home, during the 2010 outdoor season at the popular Kansas Relays on April 14 17. The Relays will be a perfect opportunity for Kansas students and fans to send Bonds off with the proper recognition and congratulations she deserves. Until then, look for her to continue adding layers to her historic career while she competes away from home. Edited by Anna Archibald

Pro Bowl flawed, but still fun

A
s a junkie of all things NFL, I usually find my passion for football at odds with the Pro Bowl. This years game had me less enthusiastic than ever. Everything about it had me moaning and groaning, even going as far to question whether the star-studded contest should cease to exist. Both the experimental move from Honolulu to Miami, and the Leagues decision to play it a week before (as opposed to a week after) the Super Bowl seemed like desperate attempts to increase viewership. Oh, and lets not forget about all the replacement players. And no, were not quite talking Shane Falco-esque substitutes, but there were seemingly far too many participants who werent voted in. Because their teams will play in the Super Bowl next weekend, none of the 14 Colts or Saints Pro Bowlers took part in the game; meaning Drew Brees and Peyton Manning in street clothes as spectators. And due to injuries and other reasons, many more players stayed home, including (gasp!) Brett Favre. As the list of players dropping out of the game continued to grow, fans were left to wonder does the Pro Bowl even matter anymore? In the MLB, of course, the game actually has a distinct bward@kansan.com twitter.com/bm_dub

In the NBA, while their contest doesnt carry the same reward, fans can still rejoice at the bevy of alleyoops and behind the back passes. Same for the NHL, where seeing the best scorers in the league glide up and down the ice is a treat all its own. Arguably, the style of play in the NFL is least translatable to the All-Star Game format; football is a brutal, hard-hitting sport. Guys arent trying to blow out a knee in an exhibition contest, so vital elements of the game are missing; for example, offensive and defensive line-play is virtually non-existent, and defensive backs arent allowed to press coverage.

Church competes for Super Bowl ad

By GILLIan FLaCCUS
Associated Press LOS ANGELES Pastors have long competed with the NFL on Sundays, but this season a hipster megachurch is turning the tables with a 30-second ad that could muscle its way into that all holiest of sporting events: the Super Bowl. Mosaic, a 3,000-member megachurch, is one of six finalists in the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl challenge with a lighthearted spoof that plays off the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If the churchs ad, titled Casket, is among the top three vote-getters in an online playoff, it will air on Feb. 7 during the Super Bowl. If the commercial ranks in the top three most-popular ads among viewers, it could win its creators either $400,000, $600,000 or $1 million. For Erwin McManus, Mosaics lead pastor, the ad competition represents a chance to make his faith relevant to one of the largest TV audiences in the nation when viewers least expect it and are least likely to tune out. Another more serious religious message planned during the game has caused a stir: A pro-life ad paid for by the conservative group Focus on the Family is expected to feature University of Florida football star Tim Tebow speaking about how his mother gave birth to him despite doctors recommendations that she should have an abortion. But the LA church, a congregation full of hip twenty-somethings who mostly work in the film industry and make short films for a hobby, is taking a different tack. They were careful to stick to the quirky, slapstick-style humor thats expected by Super Bowl fans. Were not trying to use Doritos to propagate a message, but I think we want people to know that we have a sense of humor, that its OK to laugh, McManus said. So much of what comes out of the faith community seems so dour and somber and we want to say, Hey, were real people. You can be a person of faith and really enjoy life and laugh. With its talent base in entertainment, the church is at the vanguard of a growing Christian movement focused on injecting faith-based themes into the plot lines of mainstream TV shows, Hollywood movies and video games that arent explicitly Christian, or advertised as such. Movies like The Passion of the Christ and The Chronicles of Narnia several years ago marked early successes, but the recent blockbuster The Blind Side which wasnt perceived as an overtly Christian film really made Hollywood take note, said Phil Cooke, a Christian producer, filmmaker and author. The Doritos spot, while just 30 seconds, is part of that bigger push, Cooke said. The tongue-in-cheek ad opens on a funeral scene and then cuts to a young man alive in a closed casket. His body is covered in Doritos and he is watching the Super Bowl on a tiny TV while chomping on chips as mourners sob outside. Two friends, who are in on the prank, snicker that by faking his death, their friend will get a week off work and an endless supply of his favorite snack. But the man gets excited when his team makes a big play and jostles the casket, which tips over to reveal him inside with a pile of crushed chips. After an awkward pause, his buddy jumps up and nervously exclaims to the shocked assemblage: Aaaah! Its a miracle! If it wins, Mosaics ad could do more for the church after Super Bowl Sunday than it does in the 30 seconds of air time. Fans remember and recount their favorite commercials long after the clock runs out and the buzz around Mosaics ad could amp up because of its genesis, said Mark Labberton, a professor of preaching at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif.

Junior center Cole Aldrich was announced Big 12 Player of the Week on Monday thanks to big double-doubles in his last few outings. Aldrich had monster performances against Missouri and Kansas State, Aldrich averaging 15 points, 13.5 rebounds and five blocks in those games. Its pretty cool, he said of the award. It definitely helps. The guys on the team have helped me obtain that achievement. Its just finally nice to start playing better. On the season, Aldrich is averaging 11.6 points and 10.3 rebounds with 3.6 blocks. He has nine double-doubles on the season, including three in his past three games. I started out real slow for quite a while, Aldrich said. But now Im starting to get my feet back under me and starting to get more confidence.

Team ranked in preseason polls

The baseball team has already begun to garner some national attention, earning a ranking from two publications and being selected for a national television appearance. Rivals.com lists the Jayhawks at No. 25 in their preseason top 25, while the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) ranks them at No. 33 in their own preseason poll. Kansas joins Texas at the only other Big 12 team ranked by the Rivals poll; the Longhorns tabbed as No. 1 in the nation. In the NCBWA poll, the Jayhawks were slotted behind three other conference opponents: Texas (No. 1), Oklahoma (No. 25) and Texas A&M (No. 28).

Reed, Collins key to Manhattan victory

Tyrel's stopped shot drove game into overtime to set up Sherron's heroics
By COREy THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com twitter.com/c_thibodeaux

FANTASTIC FINISHERS

Sherron Collins layup sealed the 81-79 victory for Kansas in overtime against Kansas State Saturday. But he might not have had the opportunity to do that if it werent for junior guard Tyrel Reeds defensive play at the end of regulation. With the game tied 69-69 and about 10 seconds to go in regulation, the Jayhawks had the ball to take the final shot. Collins tried to drive inside the lane but met a double team, stumbled and threw the ball back to Kansas State. With just under four seconds left, K-State freshman guard Dominique Sutton had time to sprint down the court for the game winning basket. I was nervous, junior center Cole Aldrich said. He was running down and I was like, oh please, somebody get the ball and run the clock out. Staying with Sutton the whole way, Reed slapped the ball away from Sutton, right when he went up for a shot, sending the game into overtime. The Jayhawks outscored the Wildcats 12-10 in overtime. Coach Bill Self said he didnt know how big Reeds play was at the time because he was on the opposite end of the floor when it happened. When he got home, he saw game highlights on television and saw how significant the play was. I texted him right then, Hey, you saved the game, Self said. At the time, Reed said he was not aware of the significance of

Kansas State's Dominique Sutton nearly scored the game-winning basket before being stripped by Tyrel Reed. the play. But afterward, he said watching the game later that night told him the magnitude of his game-saving slap. The text message he received from Self confirmed this. He said hey, that was a big play. I didnt realize it at the time, Reed said. While the crowd pleaded for a foul, television replay confirmed Reed slapped the ball away cleanly from Sutton, who was running full speed. With multiple fouls called early on in the game, the crowd was irate when no call was made. But Reed said he thought the refs got it right. Reed said he hasnt studied the video close enough to see if he fouled Sutton. I dont think I fouled him, Reed said. I thought I got all ball in reaction from trying to stop him from getting the shot up. For Reed, who played 10 minutes and scored two points, that was about as much as an effect

ther Kansas athletes might be getting more attention, but no one is as impressive as middle distance runner Lauren Bonds. At the Jayhawk Classic Saturday, Bonds broke an 18-year-old school record when she ran a 9:30.9 in the 3,000 meter. Bonds record setting performance was also an NCAA provisional qualifying mark. Remarkably, this was only another layer on Bonds already historic career at Kansas. She already owns two other Kansas track and field records. During the 2009 indoor season, Bonds set the mile record at the ISU Classic with a time of 4:43.74. At the 2009 Big 12 Championships, she set the 1,000 meter record with a time of 2:46.60. Bonds gives fans a reason to spread their enjoyment of successful Kansas athletics around to other lesser publicized programs. She has been turning heads at track and field meets for years but has yet to receive the local recognition she deserves. Bonds is the best athlete at Kansas no one is talking about. Last fall during the 2009 cross country season, Bonds established a legacy described as one of the greatest individual seasons by a KU womens runner in school history,

She was selected to the All-Big 12 team for the second consecutive year, becoming the first woman in school history to do so. It may be hard to believe that someone who holds three indoor track and field school records is able to concentrate much on schoolwork but Bonds academic resume is just as impressive as her athletic accomplishments.
