Condom art
Its hard to know what the mens
basketball coaches must have
thought if and when they received
a photo of art project number 29 at
Wednesdays Latexhibition.
Taeler Nieder, a senior from
Lawrence, said she messaged
them a photo of the diorama afer
building it with her teammates as
part of their Human Health and
Sexuality courses World Aids Day
art contest. Allie Townsley, a senior
from Wichita, and Bridget Clark,
a senior from Garden City, worked
with Nieder on the project and said
they had received some positive
feedback from passersby. Even so,
they criticized their own work,
which shows condoms decorated by
photos of KU basketball players.
I was going to put Bill Self some-
where, Clark said. But there wasnt
space.
Te Latexhibition art contest
started at San Francisco State Uni-
versity in 1992 and has been a part
of the KU curriculum for years, said
Sonya Satinsky, assistant professor of
health, sport, and exercise sciences.
But it went public for the frst time
Wednesday in the Awards Foyer of
the Robinson Center, Satinsky said,
because the students deserved an
audience for their work. Te idea is
to promote a safer sex message in
honor of the day, which has been on
Dec. 1 every year since 1998, accord-
ing to the World Aids Day website.
Satinsky said she asked students to
create art projects out of latex con-
doms and gloves because these are
still the best weapon against HIV in-
fection for those who choose to have
sex. But she said people need to be
educated in their use.
Its one thing to use a condom,
she said. Its another to use it
correctly.
AIDS is a serious subject, Satinsky
said, and students ofen associate la-
tex projects with sexually fraught
situations.
A lot of them will think of it as
kind of icky, she said.
So, she encouraged her students
to be creative in their projects. One
goal of the contest, she said, was to
give students a hands-on oppor-
tunity to use the latex projects in a
comfortable environment.
At the end of 2008, an estimated
1,178,350 people ages 13 and older
were living with HIV infection in
the United States, according to the
Department of Health and Human
Services Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. Tat year, at least
17,374 died.
About 80 students participated in
the exhibition, and a group of health
educators served as judges, casting
votes for the best projects. Tree
winners will be announced by Fri-
day, Satinsky said, including most
educational, best use of latex, and
overall winner. Te projects will
continue to be on display for the re-
mainder of the week.
Townsley and Clark said they
werent sure if they would win the
contest, but they were proud of their
work.
For school spirit, were pretty
good, Townsley said.

Tere will be four new cars parked
on campus this spring, and they will
be available to whomever wants to
borrow them for a few hours.
Te Hertz car rental company is
bringing its On Demand service to
campus beginning in the spring se-
mester. Te service provides cars to
rent by the hour or day to students,
faculty and anyone who signs up for
a free membership. Te idea is to
make cars available to students and
faculty who, for whatever reason,
dont drive to campus but might need
a car temporarily, said Margretta de
Vries, a spokeswoman for KU Park-
ing and Transit.
I could think of all kinds of rea-
sons why renting a new car for a few
hours or an evening could be at-
tractive, de Vries said. Even if you
owned a car.
KU Parking and Transit is con-
tracting with Hertz to keep two of
the cars in the parking lot across
Jayhawk Boulevard from the Kansas
Union, and two others in a lot across
from the Ekdahl Dining Commons
in Lewis Hall. Membership is open to
anyone 18 years or older, with hourly
rates between $8 and $10. For about
$62, members can rent a car for the
day. Afer signing up for a member-
ship on the Hertz On Demand web-
site, which will be live and linked
on the parking and transit website
in January, members will receive an
electronic card in the mail that un-
locks and activates the cars. Tey can
reserve a car online and be alerted by
text when its ready.
Te cars will include two Ford
Escapes and two Chevy Cruzes, ac-
cording to Lemore Hecht, manager
of communications and social me-
dia for Hertz. Hertz already ofers
this service on more than 50 uni-
versity campuses in the U.S. and 30
cities around the world, Hecht said.
She said that, as with any car rental,
members would need to put a debit
or credit card down to pay for the
rental. But the rental includes in-
surance and there is no mechanism
for Hertz to charge for gas or minor
damages. Te cars will be main-
tained, Hecht said, but they are also
likely to change hands several times
each day.
We kind of ask our customers to
be conscious of that and not smoke
in the vehicles or bring pets in the
cars, she said. For updates on when
the On Demand membership page
goes live, de Vries recommends fol-
lowing KU Parking and Transit on
Twitter.

Following their 38-21 loss to
Washington on Saturday, Bud
Withers of the Seattle Times re-
ported that Washington State head
coach Paul Wulfs time leading
the Cougars was likely over.
When the report came out,
Turner Gill was less than 24 hours
away from being fred. Withers
reported that a top candidate of
Washington States athletic di-
rector Bill Moos to replace Wulf
would be former Texas Tech
coach Mike Leach, who was also
the frst name out of most Kansas
fans mouths as a possible replace-
ment.
Tree days later, Wulf was out
at Washington State, and it only
took one day for a replacement to
be named.
On Wednesday afernoon,
Bruce Feldman of CBSSports.com
reported that Mike Leach had ver-
bally accepted the head coaching
position at Washington State.
On the same day Leach was
forced to exit the mind and
mouths of most Kansas fans, Te
Kansas City Star frst reported and
Te Kansan confrmed that Ath-
letics Director Sheahon Zenger
lef Lawrence Wednesday in his
next move with the coaching
search. And while the media and
fans alike speculated that Leach
was Kansas top target, Zenger
has never mentioned Leach and
there is no concrete information
outside of rumor that Kansas ever
contacted Leach.
While the timing and sce-
nario appeared to be the right ft
to bring in Leach, it is clear that
either Leach or Kansas thought
otherwise.
And Withers frequently pointed
to Washington States Bill Moos as
the most likely reason that Leach
ended up in Pullman, Washing-
ton, instead of Lawrence.
You have the presence of Moos
whos a real dynamic athletic di-
rector who was at Oregon dur-
ing its dramatic rise in facilities,
Withers said. He was a guy that
brought Phil Knight into the fold
as a big donor. Hes an old Wash-
ington State football player. Hes
defnitely a football minded guy.
Very much an athletic director
that any football coach, I think,
would like to look for.
Withers was referring to Phil
Knight, the co-founder of Nike
who has contributed approxi-
mately $230 million to the Uni-
versity of Oregon. Moos was the
athletics director at Oregon for 12
years, from 1995 to 2007.
In his time at Oregon, the ath-
letics department budget grew
from $18.5 million in his frst year
to more than $40 million by 2007.
Te donor base increased from
4,930 donors to 12,290, resulting
in an annual gifs increase from
$4.1 million to $15.3 million. He
also oversaw $160 million dur-
ing facility improvements in his
12 years at Oregon, so it makes
sense that he could get the money
needed to sign Leach at Washing-
ton State.
And he did just that, reportedly
giving Leach $11 million dollars
over fve years. Washington State
is also undergoing an $80 million
renovation to its stadium.
As for Kansas frst-year athlet-
ics director, Zenger told Te Kan-
sas City Star Wednesday that he
was considering six to 10 coaches,
but associate athletics direc-
tor Jim Marchiony said that the
number could change at any time.
Zenger has not put a timetable on
the length of the coaching search
and told Te Star that the search
will end when he fnds the right
guy for Kansas.
Earlier in the week, Zenger told
Te Kansan he will not be near
sighted in the hunt to fnd the
next football coach at Kansas.
I like people with strong pedi-
grees, meaning whether that be a
sitting head coach, former head
coach or coordinator, Zenger
said. I believe that you have to
come from programs that are
proven, that have similar histories
and demographics to the institu-
tion youre at. Its all about ft.

A basketball-themed project with the message Always Protect Your Head in the Game was made by Taeler nieder, a senior
from lawrence; Bridget clark, a senior from Garden city; and Allie Townsley, a senior from Wichita. The projects were for World
AIDS Day as part of a health and human sexuality class and were judged by how well groups used condoms and latex gloves.
Projects will be displayed in the awards foyer in the robinson center until Friday.

Paramedics, emergency crews, teachers and
even some employees from the prime ministers
offce took to the streets of Britain for the countrys
largest strike in decades drawing attention to
government cuts but failing to bring the nation to
a standstill.
Public sector employees staged the one-day
walkout Wednesday over government demands that
they work longer before receiving a pension and
pay more in monthly contributions, part of austerity
measures to tackle Britains 967 billion-pound
($1.5 trillion) debt.
The strike came a day after the government
announced that public sector pay raises will be
limited to 1 percent through 2014 even as infa-
tion now runs about 5 percent.
The government wants us to work longer, pay
more and at the end get less. How fair is that?
said Eleanor Smith, president of the UNISON trade
union which represents about 1 million health,
education and law enforcement staff. Smith joined
a picket outside Birmingham Womens Hospital in
central England, where she works as a nurse.
Prime Minister David Cameron defended the
governments stance in Parliament, insisting that
as people live longer its only right and only fair
that you should make greater contributions.
I dont want to see any strikes, I dont want to
see schools closed, I dont want to see problems
at our borders, but this government must make
responsible decisions, Cameron told the House of
Commons.

Partial results Wednesday showed the Muslim
Brotherhood emerging as the biggest winner
in Egypts landmark parliamentary elections,
and leaders of the once-banned Islamic group
demanded to form the next government, setting the
stage for a possible confrontation with the ruling
military.
The generals who took power after the February
fall of Hosni Mubarak have said they will name
the government and the parliament would have no
right to dissolve it. They have also sought to wrest
from the new parliament the more long-reaching
and crucial role of running the process for writing
the new constitution.
But the Brotherhoods confdence was riding
high after the unexpectedly large turnout this week
for two days of voting. Millions lined up at the polls
for the frst of multiple rounds of balloting in their
countrys frst free election in living memory.
Even before polls closed on Tuesday, Moham-
med Mursi, head of the Brotherhoods Freedom and
Justice Party, told reporters outside a polling center
in Cairo that the majority in parliament must put
together the government.
Another top Brotherhood fgure, Sobhi Saleh, told
The Associated Press on Wednesday that Mursis
comments were a message to the ruling Supreme
Council of the Armed Forces not to act unilaterally.
You cant come and say, I choose the govern-
ment and I sack the government. Its over, the
people have emerged, he said. If you impose a
government on me that I dont endorse, you are
creating tension in the relationship.

Mpumi Nobiva was raised by her grandmother
in a neighborhood beset by poverty and crime
after her mother died of AIDS. Now one of the frst
to graduate from Oprah Winfreys school, she is
headed to college in North Carolina.
Winfrey spent $40 million to give her girls a
campus with computer and science labs, a library
and a wellness center. None paid tuition. The
students are high-achievers, often from communi-
ties where schools are struggling to overcome the
legacy of apartheid.
And as the South African school year nears its
end, all 72 members of the schools frst graduating
class have been accepted to universities in South
Africa or the United States. More than a dozen have
received full scholarships.
Winfrey told her students that when you teach a
girl, you teach a nation.
The frst class, my class, will prove that, said
Nobiva, 18, who will study visual and performing
arts at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte,
North Carolina.
Winfrey will be at the school for graduation cer-
emonies in January, school offcials said Wednesday
as students gathered to refect on their experiences
over the last fve years.
The school has drawn sometimes harsh atten-
tion because of the celebrity who founded it, and
also because of early problems.
Students have been accused of being spoiled.
Allegations that a woman employed to care for the
girls in their dormitory had instead abused teens
were the subject of headlines around the world.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Police say Kan-
sas City television meteorologist Don
Harman has died. He was 41.
A police report says Harman, who
had been a meteorologist at WDAF since
1999, died Tuesday evening at his home
in Kansas City. The report listed the
cause of death as suicide and said he
was found by his wife.
WDAF president and general manager
Cheryl McDonald said in a statement
Wednesday that Harman was a beloved
meteorologist and personality at the
station, and that words cannot express
how deeply he will be missed.
The stations website said Harman
also worked at stations in Iowa and West
Virginia before joining WDAF.

A $4.8 billion gold and copper mining project,
Perus biggest such investment, was declared
suspended Tuesday after increasingly violent
protests by highlands peasants who fear for their
water supply.
At least 20 people, including eight with gunshot
wounds, were injured Tuesday in clashes between
opponents of the Conga project and police who
used frearms, Cajamarca state regional health
director Reynaldo Nunez told Canal N television. He
said one person was in critical condition and the
injured included police.
After discussions with the government, it was
agreed that to help restore public order, the project
would be suspended, Newmont Mining Corp.
spokesman Omar Jabara told The Associated Press
via email.
Denver-based Newmont is the majority owner
of Conga, which was to begin production in 2015
and is an outgrowth of Yanacocha, Latin Americas
biggest gold mine.
However, leaders of the open-ended protest
against the planned mine that began Thursday
in the northern state bordering Ecuador said
they would not halt the action until the project is
canceled.
Cajamarcas president, Gregorio Santos, told the
AP that opponents want a legal document that
defnitively eliminates the project.
At a Lima news conference, Prime Minister
Salomon Lerner did not answer a reporters ques-
tion of whether the suspension was temporary or
defnitive.

business raises money

The Cupcake Construction Company
hosted a fundraiser last night for the
Willow Domestic Violence Center.
A group of KU students contacted
the owner of the Cupcake Construction
Company, Michael Kricsfeld, to organize
the event that happened between 5 and
10 p.m. Wednesday.
The local cupcake business regularly
hosts beneft nights dedicated to differ-
ent organizations around town. Kricsfeld
said he gave the group of students the
opportunity to host an event instead of
simply putting a donation jar on the
counter.
Aaron Berlin, a senior from Kansas
City, Kan., said 15 to 20 percent of the
proceeds from each cupcake help the
shelter.
Robin Latham, a senior from Bel-
leville, said spreading the word for the
event was especially important.
We had a Facebook group, she said.
Weve really taken advantage of social
media to try and get all of our friends
and family and any students on campus
we can possibly get to make it to Cup-

Safebus changes route
after several complaints
Littering, stepping on fower beds
and urinating in public are some of
the complaints that are driving a KU
SafeBus stop away from the corner
of 9th and Maine streets, said Casey
Briner, a SafeBus spokesperson. At
least three residents living near the
stop complained to SafeBus that rid-
ers did those things in front of their
homes. Briner said the complaints all
reached SafeBus after Nov. 18. The
free bus services red route, which
runs from McCollum Hall to 6th and
New Hampshire streets, will now stop
at 9th and Illinois streets and not at
Maine. The route change will begin
Thursday night.
Briner said this will be the frst time
SafeBus has changed routes because
of such complaints since the bus ser-
vice began in 2007. She said SafeBus
will make no effort to identify misbe-
having riders.
Our goal is to get people home
safely, she said. We are not about
getting people in trouble.
Briner said SafeBus will never stop
9th and Maine streets again.
SafeBus operates three routes from
9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.

Local man charged

A Lawrence man faces charges
of attempted murder and attempted
rape following a stabbing in northern
Lawrence Tuesday night. Lawrence po-
lice arrested Timothy Foster, 39, after
responding to an emergency call to a
residence in the 500 block of John Doy
Court at around 3:30 p.m., according to
a press release from the Lawrence Po-

condition. Police booked Foster into the
Douglas County Jail around 7:15 p.m.,
where he was held on a $500,000 bond,
according to the Douglas County Sher-
iffs Offce booking recap. Foster and
the victim knew each other, according
to police. Detectives were investigating
the crime scene Wednesday.
Police ask anyone with information
on any crime to call 785-832-7650 or

Derrik Sweeney, 19, of Jefferson City, Mo., smiles along side his mother, Joy Sweeney, left, after arriving at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport in St. Louis on Nov.
26. Sweeney and two other American students were arrested in Cairo Nov. 20 and accused of throwing frebombs at security forces fghting with protesters. A court or-
dered the three to be released Nov. 24. American universities send more than 250,000 students to study abroad every year, thrusting them into one of the most exciting
periods of their lives with a heavy dose of maternal advice: See the local culture, but be careful. Dont get in any tight spots. Avoid political demonstrations. Its advice
that can be forgotten in the heady political ferment of countries like egypt.
MINNEAPOLIS Every year
American colleges and universi-
ties send more than 270,000 stu-
dents to study abroad and more
of them are choosing uncon-
ventional destinations, which
in places like Egypt can entice
students to ignore well-meaning
warnings from back home and
plunge into the political upheaval
in the streets.
I think the temptation is
there, to wrap up in a keffi-
yeh and try to look like any
other Egyptian revolutionary, to
feel a little exhilaration from a
kind of danger you dont get in
America, said Wittney Dorn, 20,
of Appleton, Wis., who is study-
ing at the American University
in Cairo.
Universities have been repeat-
ing the importance of striking
the right balance between safety
and cultural immersion after the
Nov. 20 arrest of three American
students during the protests
near Tahrir Square, the Cairo
roundabout that has been the
epicenter of the Jan. 25 uprising
against ousted President Hosni
Mubarak.
Dorn said in an email from
Cairo that shes been following
the advice she got from both
from American University and
her home college, St. Olaf in
Northfield, to avoid crowds,
political demonstrations and
Tahrir Square specifically.
Its not a brilliant idea to go
exploring an area where people
are being killed, despite how
tempting it may be to watch
history unfold before ones eyes,
Dorn wrote.
A survey earlier this month
from the nonprofit Institute of
International Education found
more than 270,000 U.S. students
studied abroad during the 2009-
10 school year, up about 4 per-
cent from a year earlier. Most
went to western Europe: Britain,
Italy, Spain and France. But the
survey found increasing num-
bers in less traditional destina-
tions; Egypt, for example, hosted
1,923 Americans, up 8 percent.
A lot of students are trying to
find places that will help them
understand the emerging world,
said Peggy Blumenthal, who
oversees research at the institute
as the senior counselor to the
president. They are preparing
for careers in public health, the
sciences and national security,
for example, she said.
Blumenthal said she doubt-
ed students who picked more
challenging programs were any
more likely to ignore security
guidelines than others. I hon-
estly think that its not just about
going abroad to these places for
thrill seeking, as much as its
about really wanting to under-
stand, she said.
Many universities and opera-
tors of study abroad programs
have been trying to prod stu-
dents out of what can become a
comfort zone of huddling with
their fellow American students.
That push to engage can be
broadening in a safe country;
in a country with a suddenly
dicey political situation, it can be
hazardous.

McClatchy Tribune
LOS ANGELES Although it
follows one of the roads most taken
by family sitcoms beleaguered
single parents, horrible kids Foxs
I Hate My Teenage Daughter asks
a surprisingly significant question:
What happens when people raise
their children in a manner that is
essentially an attempt to re-parent
themselves?
Its a smart and relevant premise,
given that so many parents of teen-
agers today came of age during a
time of social revelation, in which
previously taboo issues, includ-
ing addiction, abuse and sexual
diversity, were discussed in a way
that one hopes makes life easier
for each subsequent generation.
How those raised in dysfunctional
homes create a healthier model for
parenting is a topic rife with both
comedy and pathos.
But the social pendulum being
what it is, attention has too often
swung from truth-telling and self-
knowledge to whining and self-
centeredness: Throw in a dose of
sexism and you get the new age of
personal enlightenment as defined
by women who eat too much or
spend too much and then sob to
their BFFs about their lack of self-
esteem.
Which is where, alas, much of I
Hate My Teenage Daughter seems
to feel the most comfortable.
With a brilliance that is, given
the context, heartbreaking to
behold, Jaime Pressly and Katie
Finneran play Annie and Nikki,
two single moms attempting to
save their daughters from the hor-
rors of their own high school years.
Annie was raised in a household
so religiously conservative that she
was not allowed to listen to music
or watch television, and Nikki was
the overweight and unattractive
product of too much criticism.
Their daughters, by contrast, are
pretty and popular, and because we
live in a Tina Fey post-Mean Girls
world, exquisitely awful. Sophie
(Kristi Lauren) belongs to Annie,
MacKenzie (Aisha Dee) to Nikki,
and two episodes in, thats really
all I can tell you they are stylish,
mean and seem to have no other
interest save back-talk and texting.

If you know me, you know I love to
hate. Im just crazy about it. Ive writ-
ten multiple columns for this paper
where I just rant about how much I
hate something that no one else cares
about. I even hate on things I enjoy.
I mean, I like Parks & Rec, but that
doesnt stop me from rolling my eyes
every time it tries to get me to care
about all the relationship drama on
the show.
However, even my hate-fueled
criticism cant touch the Muppets. The
Muppets arent just lovable, theyre
pure anti-hate. Theyre so thoroughly
not cynical that hating the Muppets
is like hating rainbows or fresh-baked
chocolate chip cookies or getting
to sleep in. People dont just love
the Muppets, the Muppets are love
incarnate.
The most recent Muppet produc-
tion, the Jason Segel-penned The
Muppets, was released just before
Thanksgiving to a warm reception
from critics and a decent box office
take (somehow, the new Twilight
movie made more money than The
Muppets. You think youre better than
the Muppets, Twilight? Because
youre not).
If you havent already seen The
Muppets, I recommend you do so
immediately. Its a heartwarming tale
about one Muppets quest for accep-
tance, and, more importantly, there are
explosions and great songs and Sarah
Silverman shows up to drop a sick
burn on Amy Adams.
Some critics, like the A.V. Clubs
Keith Phipps, have criticized the film
for getting bogged down in unearned
sentiment and relying too heavily on
nostalgia. Others have criticized the
film for being too sappy, shoehorning
a new Muppet into the mix, and for
not staying true to the characters.
In a lot of ways, theyre not wrong.
The Muppets is an uneven movie
thats often too clever for its own good.
The thing is, the Muppets have never
been consistent, even going back to the
original show. For every classic sketch,
there are a few bombs. For every great
guest host, theres a mediocre one.
However, the Muppets are so lovable
and have such winning personalities
that Im willing to forgive all their
flaws and focus solely on their virtues.
You cant even blame my bias on nos-
talgia; I didnt get into the Muppets
until about a year ago.
Last winter, having never seen The
Muppet Show as a kid, I decided to
watch the Muppets first film, The
Muppet Movie. Its a mess of a film
with a threadbare plot thats little more
than an excuse for random musical
numbers and slapstick. If the movie
had featured anyone besides the
Muppets, I would hate on it like its
going out of style. But when Kermit
busted out his banjo, my heart melted
as if it had been blown up by Crazy
Harry.
Because I tend to be overly-critical
and because the Muppets are so darn
nice, I have made a point of never
trash-talking the Muppets (this col-
umn notwithstanding). As you grow
older and more cynical, it becomes
increasingly more important to keep
the Muppets around so you can still
find that rainbow connection.

Muppets stand tall
next to other flms
By Lou Schumaker
lschumaker@kansan.com
Te Kansas Equality Coali-
tion (KEC) is pushing for a for-
mal repeal of the states criminal
sodomy laws, which ban anal
or oral sex between persons of
the same sex who are sixteen or
older, among a couple of other
things. Te Kansas government
should formally repeal this law
immediately, not just because
the law symbolizes intolerance
but also because its the gover-
nors job to do so.
In Lawrence v. Texas in 2003,
the United States Supreme
Court ruled that criminal sod-
omy laws are in confict with
the Due Process Clause under
the Fourteenth Amendment.
Tat means the laws in the
Kansas books, and in any other
state, have been overturned
by the highest court and thus
shouldnt exist.
Upon inauguration, the gov-
ernor takes an oath to support
both the Constitution of the
United States and the Kansas
Constitution. Te second clause
of Article VI in the United
States Constitution mandates
that states follow the federal
Constitution when a states laws
are in confict with it. Plain and
simple: Its the governors job
to repeal the criminal sodomy
laws.
Although in January of this
year Brownback instituted an
administrative department for
the sole purpose of getting rid
of conficting and ridiculous
laws, the department has yet to
repeal the laws criminalizing
sodomy between persons of the
same sex.
Te law technically isnt
enforceable, but that doesnt
mean someone couldnt enforce
it. An article in the Hufngton
Post regarding this issue refer-
ences an incident in 2009 where
a same-sex couple in Texas,
another state with criminal
sodomy still on the books, was
asked to leave a restaurant for
expressing appropriate forms of
public afection, and the police
warned the couple that they
could be cited for kissing each
other, as per Texas law. His-
torically, the overwhelmingly
religious and conservative state
of Kansas has demonstrated a
similar attitude towards lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgen-
der people, and it would not
be unreasonable to believe a
similar incidence could happen
in Kansas.
Furthermore, the fact that
the governor of Kansas, who
represents the state in the most
democratic sense, has not taken
action to repeal a law criminal-
izing sodomy between people of
the same-sex leads Kansans to
believe that sexual acts between
persons of the same-sex is
wrong. His actions give those
opposed a rationale for their
position, which could sustain
discrimination and perhaps
lead to increased discrimina-
tion in all sorts of forms since
the issue has become salient.
Brownback and his admin-
istrations inability to act on
this issue is unacceptable, and
he and his colleagues should
uphold their oath to support
the federal Constitution and
should formally get rid of the
states law forbidding same-sex
sexual acts. Failure to do so
only undermines the governors
integrity as the states head of-
fcial and fosters an intolerant
and unwelcoming environment
for gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender Kansans.

In the last two years, Kansas
Athletics has bought out the
contracts of three of its highest-
paid employees: Mark Mangino
in 2009, Lew Perkins in 2010 and
Turner Gill this week. Between
Manginos $3 million, Perkins
$2 million, and Gills $6 million,
thats $11 million dollars that has
essentially gone to waste from
Athletics budget.
Economically, it makes sense
for Athletics, as a separate cor-
poration from the University,
to spend the necessary money
to bring in a new coach and
re-energize fans and donors to
increase revenue.
But in the context of the
Universitys enormous budget
constraints, $11 million of
investments with zero return is
an appalling waste of resources,
and one that is made possible
largely by donors.
Private donations make
up about a third of Athletics
budget, according to its 2009
annual report. And according
to a KCTV5 report, wealthy
donors like Dana Anderson
helped Athletics foot the bill for
Gills buyout. Anderson said he
donated $750,000 to help the
University move forward from
the Turner Gill era.
Its true that donors have the
right to do as they please with
their money, and that athletics is
an attractive destination for such
donations. But at a University
where no on-campus employee
has received a raise since 2008,
supporting $11 million in pay-
ments to individuals who are
no longer associated with the
University reveals a completely
skewed system of values.
A common argument is that
Athletics are the front door of a
university, and that a strong ath-
letics program can help support
a strong school overall. But eco-
nomically, this argument doesnt
hold water. A 2004 study done
for the Knight Commission on
Intercollegiate Athletics said that
the effects of athletic success on
alumni donations and admissions
are small at best when viewed
from the perspective of any indi-
vidual institution.
This fall, the University had to
scrape together $4.6 million from
student tuition and fees to pro-
vide merit-based wage increases
of less than five percent to some
faculty and staff next January.
While Athletics has no obli-
gation to support anything but
its own economic interest, the
amount of money wasted by the
department should cause donors
as well as students who will
be called upon to donate in the
future to reconsider where
their money will be best spent.
Its fun to have powerful foot-
ball and basketball programs, to
buy season tickets and to feel a
part of something tangible like
athletics. But it isnt fun for hard-
working professors and staff to
work for three years without
hope of a salary increase while
coaches walk in and out of town
with million-dollar salaries.
The loudest message that can
be sent is sent by dollar signs. If
you find yourself sitting down
to make a donation to Athletics
in the near or distant future,
remember the academic depart-
ments that couldnt do the things
it wanted to for lack of money
while $11 million was wasted as a
result of the fickle sports environ-
ment. Use your resources to vote
for a new system of values at the
University of Kansas.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. Te
ex-Colorado sherif was known
for his no-nonsense style, his
heroism in saving two deputies
and for his concern about teenage
drug use. He was even named the
nations sherif of the year.
Patrick Sullivan, 68, found him-
self on Wednesday in a jail that
was named for him, facing charg-
es of ofering methamphetamine
in exchange for sex from a male
acquaintance.
Dressed in an orange jail uni-
form and walking with a cane, a
handcufed Sullivan watched as a
judge raised his bail amount to a
half-million dollars and sent him
to the Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Deten-
tion Facility.
Sullivans arrest has many in
suburban Denvers Arapahoe
County where he held sway for
nearly two decades wondering
what happened to the tough-as-
nails lawman they once knew.
Tis isnt the Pat I know, said
Peg Ackerman, a lobbyist for the
County Sherifs of Colorado who
ofen worked with him on legisla-
tion. She said he was concerned
about drug use in schools and was
a chief of security at a school dis-
trict.
Te current sherif, Grayson
Robinson, who worked as un-
dersherif for Sullivan from 1997
until he took over the job in 2002,
said the department was shocked
and saddened at his arrest.
Robinson said the case is still
under investigation, including
where and how Sullivan might
have gotten the drugs. He de-
clined to say if authorities suspect
Sullivan of using drugs, or if oth-
ers might be charged.
At the brief court hearing, Judge
William Sylvester told Sullivan
not to contact anyone involved in
the case.
Sullivans attorney, Kevin
McGreevy, did not return calls
seeking comment.
Sullivan came to the attention
of law enforcement afer an Oct.
4 call to authorities from a home
in Centennial, according to an ar-
rest afdavit. Te deputy who re-
sponded had worked for Sullivan
and knew who he was.
Afer investigating further, the
deputy learned from two conf-
dential informants that Sullivan
was dealing meth but would sell
it only if they had sex with him,
the document stated. He was ar-
rested afer police set up a sting at
a home.
Deputies found that Sullivan
had handed someone a bag of
meth and had another bag on him
when he was searched, according
to the afdavit. Both bags weighed
less than a gram.
Sullivan served as sherif from
1984 until his retirement in 2002.
In 2002, then-U.S. Rep. Tom
Tancredo praised him on his re-
tirement, citing Sullivan for pro-
moting homeland security and for
being named Sherif of the Year by
the National Sherifs Association.
In 1989, Sullivan was hailed as a
hero. During a gunmans rampage,
he rescued two deputies afer
crashing his truck through a fence
and protecting them while they
were loaded into the vehicle.
While those who know Sullivan
were puzzled by the news, some
said they werent surprised that
a person of his stature could get
involved.

obituary
ASSocIAtED PRESS
DECATUR, Ga. In a poi-
gnant call to action, speakers at the
funeral for a Florida A&M Univer-
sity drum major urged for an end
to the hazing linked to the death of
Robert Champion.
Eight former band mates salut-
ed Champion by walking toward
his open casket. Tey raised their
batons in unison, then abruptly
turned to show their capes em-
broidered with the letters: C-H-
A-M-P-I-O-N. Near the end of
the funeral, one of the college ju-
niors favorite songs, Flight of the
Bumblebee, played over the loud-
speaker.
Pastor John Tatum told hun-
dreds of friends and family who
crowded the church pews that
it was time to end the foolish
hazing in college fraternities and
marching bands.
If theres anything about this
mans legacy we need to put a stop
to, its hazing, he said to a chorus
of amens. I call upon every par-
ent, every mother, every father ...
do what is necessary now to stop
this tragedy from ever happening
again. Right now.
Te 26-year-old Champion
was found dead Nov. 19 on a bus
parked outside an Orlando, Fla.,
hotel afer the schools football
team lost to a rival. Police said
Champion, a clarinet player, had
been vomiting and complained
he couldnt breathe shortly before
he collapsed, but they have not re-
leased any other details.
Meanwhile, police in Tallahas-
see, where the school is located,
confrmed they were investigating
a second case of possible hazing
in the marching band involving a
freshman clarinet player. Te par-
ents of Bria Shante Hunter told
Atlantas WXIA-TV that she suf-
fered a fractured thigh bone and
hurt knee.
A police report did not detail
how the alleged hazing occurred
and Hunters father told Te Asso-
ciated Press on Wednesday that he
could not immediately comment.
Since Champions death, Julian
White, the universitys band direc-
tor, has been fred. Te school has
announced an independent probe,
and the university president said he
will work to end the long practice
of hazing in the marching band.
White said he saw Champion
shortly afer he was found uncon-
scious and assured the family that
he looked in peace.
Tis is a difcult time for me.
You may see me smile, and you
probably wont see me cry, he said.
Im happy that I knew Robert.
James Ammons, the school
president, pledged to stamp out
hazing at FAMU.
I vow that Roberts death will
not be in vain, he said.
Te group that oversees Flori-
das public universities announced
Tuesday it wanted to investigate
whether the school did enough to
respond to hazing.
Te funeral resonated with the
music Champion was so passion-
ate about.
Te Southwest DeKalb High
School marching band, where
Champion attended, played som-
ber melodies and were joined by
an 18-member church choir be-
hind his casket, where he lie wear-
ing his college uniform, clutching
a gleaming baton.
At the start of the service, Cham-
pions mother, Pam, squeezed her
sons hand a fnal time. His father,
Robert Sr., whispered into his sons
ear.
Te familys attorney has said
they intend to sue the school over
the death.
Champion fell in love with mu-
sic when he was about age 6. He
started in bands in middle school
and his mother said he was so en-
thusiastic about performances she
called him Mr. Band.
He long dreamed of joining a
marching band, and neighbors
recalled seeing him patrolling his
yard with a makeshif baton made
of tape. He rose to become the
leader of his high school band by
his junior year, and was tapped as
the drum major of Florida A&Ms
prestigious Marching 100 in late
2010. Te band has performed at
Super Bowls, the Grammys and
presidential inaugurations.
James Seda, who leads the high
school band, said Champion was
an enthusiastic leader and out-
going musician with an amaz-
ing work ethic. He said he was
thankful he was in Orlando to see
Champions fnal show at halfime
against Bethune-Cookman.
His last performance is always
his best performance, he said. He
always outdoes himself.

stable condition.
A news release issued by the
hospital said Graham was alert,
smiling and waving to staff as he
entered the hospital. Ross said
Graham was admitted for obser-
vation and treatment and likely
would spend the night there.
Ross said Graham was in good
spirits after undergoing a full
afternoon of medical tests. His
daughter, Gigi, visited him af-
ter dinner for prayer and Bible
reading, Ross said. As the two
watched television in the hospital
room, Ross said they found a re-
play of Grahams 1973 crusade in
St. Louis.
For six decades, Graham led a
worldwide crusade-based min-
istry that packed stadiums with
believers and allowed him to
counsel every U.S. president since
Harry Truman. His most recent
book, Nearing Home, was pub-
lished last month.
In recent years, age-related
conditions such as macular de-
generation and hearing loss have
kept Graham at his home in
Montreat, about 20 miles east of
Asheville.
He was last hospitalized in May,
when he spent five days at the
same hospital for pneumonia. In
October 2008, Graham was hos-
pitalized after he tripped and fell
over one of his dogs. Earlier that
same year, he had elective surgery
on a shunt that controls excess
fluid on his brain. The shunt was
first installed in 2000 and drains
fluid through a small tube, reliev-
ing excess pressure that can cause
symptoms similar to Parkinsons
disease.
Graham has also suffered from
prostate cancer and was hospital-
ized in 2007 for nearly two weeks
after experiencing intestinal
bleeding. His wife, Ruth Bell Gra-
ham, died in June 2007.
Graham rarely appears in pub-
lic now. The Billy Graham Evan-
gelistic Association is run by Gra-
hams son, Franklin.

Although junior forward
Carolyn Davis practice time has
been mostly spent on a stationary
bike in recent weeks because of
her foot injury, it hasnt stopped
her from being able to contribute
on the floor.
National accolades dont seem
to stop coming her way either.
Davis was named to the 2011-12
Naismith Womens Early-Season
Watch List, one of the more pres-
tigious lists in college basketball.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson
informed Davis on Wednesday
afternoon when the two were
discussing which basket was her
1,000 point against Florida.
After working out that problem,
Henrickson finally told Davis the
good news.
Its a lot of mixed emotions
because I know there are a lot
of great players and their names
are out there for everyone to see,
Davis said. I wouldnt say mine is
not out there, but its kind of more
quiet. Its an honor. Its a complete
honor to be in the same presence
as those players.
Davis continues to heal from
the stress fracture in her foot.
She hopes to be back in full-
practice mode in the next couple
of weeks.
For now she just has to pedal
on the sidelines and support her
teammates in every other way
possible.
My teammates understand
that Im there for them, Davis
said. They understand that Im
going to support them and that
me not practicing now will help
us in the future so theres not hard
feelings.
Following the three wins last
weekend, the Jayhawks now
turn their attention to Southern
Methodist University, a more
highly publicized opponent.
In last years contest in Dallas,
the game came down to the wire
with Kansas pulling out the vic-
tory 73-65.
Henrickson said that SMU is
a team that will mix up their
defenses while also challenging
the team with different looks for
the on-ball screen.
In order to slow down the
Mustangs, the Jayhawks will
rely on senior forward Aishah
Sutherland, whos been vital to the
teams success this year.
Ive been really, really pleased
with her effort, Henrickson said.
Her effort stats, her effort num-
bers are really good right now.
Another part of Sutherlands
game that separates her from
other players her size is the ability
to pull up for an outside shot.
Several times throughout the
flow of the game Sutherland will
trail the play and then have the
ball passed to her at the top of
the key. From there she squares
up and makes the shot most of
the time.
Sutherland said shes been able
to make that shot for a long time,
but she has developed better range
and consistency since shes been
at Kansas.
After the Jayhawks were off
Monday, the team has practiced
the next two days.
Now with six games under their
belt, the team members under-
stand they must continue to work
hard so they can achieve their
ultimate goals.
We just cant get comfortable,
Sutherland said. The next oppo-
nent were going to need to go
hard at just like these last six
games.

The Kansas swimming and dive
team travels today to Columbia,
Mo. for the Mizzou Invite, which
extends through Saturday.
The Jayhawks will compete
against Boise State, Drury, Saint
Louis, North Dakota, North
Texas, UC Davis, and host team
Missouri. The Jayhawks met with
Mizzou three weeks earlier, falling
185-102. The Kansas team rides
a 4-3 record into the Invite and
beat the University of Nebraska-
Omaha in its most recent dip in
the pool 150-78, a week after los-
ing to the Tigers. Even with that
latest victory, momentum isnt
necessarily the key to success in
the upcoming meet.
I think it can help; swimming
is a move-on-to-the-next-one
type of sport, said Shelby Cox, a
sophomore from Little Rock, Ark.
We move on, regardless of the
last meet.
Kara Stranski, a sophomore
from Portland, Ore., believes
the team as a whole can ride the
momentum after its last victory.
I think momentum matters,
were all in a really good mood,
Stranski said.
The Jayhawks hope to channel
that positivity into this weekend,
but even if they dont win the
overall event, they still look to
improve their own personal sta-
tistics. That will, they hope, help
the team get better through the
winter months, into the Big 12
championships and hopefully the
NCAA championships.
Were looking for good indi-
vidual efforts, trying to improve
our seasons times and use that
to propel us into winter training,
Cox said.
Coach Clark Campbell will be
looking forward to seeing what
times are posted during the meet.
We have had a pretty good
training phase for the fall and we
have rested for a few days, so we
are going to let the swimmers put
on the technical suits and see what
they can do, Campbell said.
The Jayhawks will have a tough
test to be at their best in the mid-
season Mizzou Invite. Theyve had
a heavy load of weight training
and swimming and will have to be
mentally tough and fight through
the mid-season injuries and sick-
nesses of multiple swimmers, to
achieve their goal of posting sea-
son-best times.
Stranski and Cox both feel
they will see some stiff competi-
tion, even though they are not
familiar with four of the schools:
Saint Louis, UC Davis, Boise State
and North Texas. Last season,
the Jayhawks swept a double-
dual between North Dakota and
Drury.
I think it helps swimmers when
they dont know who they are
racing, Campbell said. You just
need to know what heat and lane
you are in and go without worry-
ing about those around you.

1. Larry fedora (Last time 3)
With leach off to Washington state University, Fedora
jumps to the top of the list because of the sustained suc-
cess hes enjoyed at southern miss, with a 32-19 record
and a bowl game every year in his four seasons. Fedoras
name has been linked to the opening at ole miss, but he
told Jackson Clarion-ledger Columnist Rick Cleveland that
he is focused on winning the C-Usa championship game
right now.
6. dave doeren (7)
in his frst year as coach of the northern illinois Huskies,
Doeren led his team to the maC championship game. Doeren
has top fight experience. His Wisconsin defense made it to the
2011 Rose bowl.
Doeren
2. brent Venables (5)
if this is the season venables fnally decides to move on
from the defensive coordinator post at oklahoma, he wont
make a move until after the bedlam series game against
oklahoma state this weekend. bedlam will be an excellent
chance for venables to show his talents as he prepares for
one of the nations most explosive offensive attacks.
Venables
7. manny diaz (8)
Diaz lacks a lot of major conference experience, but his mis-
sissippi state and texas defenses performed well. and he has
connections to texas and Florida for recruiting purposes. the
question is whether Diaz would be willing to take on the task
of rebuilding kansas, or if hell just wait until a more stable
job comes along.
Diaz
3. mark stoops (6)
stoops has the pedigree and success as the defensive
coordinator in the aCC and the Pac-12. according to the
Palm beach Post, stoops turned down an offer for the
job at Florida atlantic University, leaving hope that he
could be holding out for a job at a bCs university such
as kansas.
Stoops
8. Phillip fulmer (Nr)
Fulmer was at tennessee for 16 years, leading them to
the 1998 national Championship. He has the experience, but
might be too old at the age of 61 to take on the rebuilding
process at kansas.
Fulmer
4. sonny dykes (Nr)
Dykes only has two seasons under his belt at the helm
of a college football program, but in just his second sea-
son he led louisiana tech to a conference championship
and a Poinsettia bowl appearance this season.
Dykes
9. troy calhoun (Nr)
in each of his fve seasons at air Force, Calhouns teams
have posted a winning record, and have won their last two bowl
games. His experience in big time college football may be lim-
ited, but he spent four seasons in the nFl, including one as the
Houston texans offensive coordinator.
Calhoun
5. Kevin sumlin (4)
sumlin is more likely just a pipe dream for kansas
fans. With his Houston Cougars undefeated, he can sit
pretty and wait for a more attractive job to come calling.
Sumlin
10. dave christensen (Nr)
Christensen is familiar with the big 12 after spending 16
years as an assistant coach at missouri. He was linked as a

thomas robinson, junior forward
robinson wasnt at his fnest he missed nine of his 13
shot attempts. However 19 points, 17 rebounds and, most im-
portantly, 11 of 13 from the free-throw line is nothing to belittle.
last season, robinsons greatest kryptonite outside of fouling
was missed free throws. after another long summer of working
at it and gaining confdence, he coolly converted from the charity
stripe. robinson will take plenty more visits to the line this sea-
son and Wednesdays performance there indicated that he may
not waste them.

Kansas hasnt lost to a mid-major at home since nov. 15, 2006.
thomas robinsons 19 points and 17 rebounds gave him his sixth double-double
in six games this season.
Kansas scored a season-high 25 points from the free-throw line.

toledo, where it collected 15.

three-point shot was smooth and he made wise, quick deci-
sions with the ball. against florida atlantic on yesterday,
something went wrong. self might not have exaggerated when
he said that Johnson was still in Hawaii. not a single point and
seven turnovers just wont cut it against the Big 12. Johnson
needs to learn from his mistakes, clear his head and move on.
if not, an already shallow backcourt will be in bad shape.

Self frustrated by sloppy play
Coach Bill Self said his players
might have had too much pine-
apple juice while in Hawaii for the
Maui Invitational. In their first
game back from the Islands, the
Jayhawks committed 17 turnovers,
but Self didnt think the hangover
was the cause of the sloppy play.
I dont know if I can say that
totally, Self said after the sloppy
77-54 victory. Because were good
at turning it over both inland and
in Hawaii, so I dont know if thats
true.
The first half was relatively
clean, as Kansas turned the ball
over six times in the opening 20
minutes of play. The second half
was a completely different story, as
missed layups and bad passes were
more prevalent than the customary
highlight-reel dunks fans are accus-
tomed to seeing when a mid-major
walks into Allen Fieldhouse. Junior
forward Thomas Robinson finished
with 19 points and 17 rebounds,
but his missed dunks and layups
kept him from an easy 30 points on
a Florida Atlantic frontline that was
overmatched all night.
I made it tough for myself,
Robinson said. I knew they were
going to swarm me, and I kept put-
ting the ball on the floor over and
over and over.
Robinson blamed the turnovers
on a lack of focus and reminded
everyone that the season is young
and a full 40 minutes of focus will
come over time.
Junior center Jeff Withey had
10 points and two turnovers in 18
minutes of action and would like to
see the slow starts that Kansas has
had become a thing of the past.
As soon as the ball is tipped off
or in the second half, we come out
slow, usually, Withey said. Thats
going to be the difference between
our team being great and not being
great.
Both Withey and Robinson talked
about the need to not always bring
the ball down for a quick dribble
before going up for a layup or dunk.
Withey called it a reflex to regain
his balance, and its something the
Jayhawk big men are working on
cutting down with the help of assis-
tant coach Danny Manning.
Self seemed more upset with his
guard play.
Tonight, their best offense was
our offense, he said. Us dribbling
it up and getting ripped and them
going to make a layup. Our guards
are too good to play like this.
Even with the abundance of turn-
overs and sloppy play, Robinson is
optimistic that the teams careless-
ness will be taken care of as it heads
forward.
Its still early in the season, he
said. Weve got 30 more games
probably, so its going to be here for
a couple of more games. Eventually
we will become a good team for 40
straight minutes.

D
uring Tanksgiving, I had many
things to be thankful for: a fam-
ily, my friends and a well-cooked
meal rather than ramen noodles. Tose
things are special, but during break the
shackles on the National Basketball Asso-
ciation lockout were fnally broken.
Te frst round of games will be
Christmas day, but the madness starts
sooner. On Dec. 9, teams will begin
shopping for their most wanted items; the
leagues best free agents. Here are a few of
the best available.
NeNe, DeNver Nuggets
Many teams in the NBA are missing a
true center to give them an inside pres-
ence, but look no further. Tough his
name may be short, his play is far from a
small player. Te Brazilian bruiser is ev-
erything a team could want in a center.
Hes 6-foot-11, weighs 250 pounds and is
very physical.
Nene averaged 14 points per game and
eight rebounds per game last year for the
Nuggets. Many centers in the NBA can av-
erage those numbers, but Nene improved
his feld goal percentage, fnishing the sea-
son last year at 61 percent.
Where he Will eND up:
Nene dealt with the Carmelo Anthony
drama last year and the team surprisingly
did better without their former star. Te
big bruiser is reportedly looking for more
than $50 million over four years, a number
that will be hard for teams to match. Te
Nuggets can pay him the most, and they
will keep their star center.
DaviD West, NeW OrleaNs
hOrNets
With rumors that the Hornets star point
guard Chris Paul being traded, West opted
out of the fnal year of his deal. West tore
his lef ACL near the end of last season, but
a healthy West would be very productive.
Te 6-foot-9, 240 pound power forward
averaged 19 points a game last year be-
fore the injury. West also snatched seven
boards and shot 51 percent from the feld.
West is an efective low-post and pick-
and-pop player that will entice teams
needing an upgrade at the four spot.
Where he Will eND up:
Teams might be weary of his injury,
but those willing to take the risk might
earn a high reward. West is 31 years old,
which may be another cause for concern,
but with teams like New Jersey and Sac-
ramento needing a boost, one is willing to
take the risk. Te Nets need an upgrade at
power forward and the New Jersey native
West will be with the Nets this season.
JasON richarDsON,
OrlaNDO Magic
Tere are more players to upgrade front-
courts, but Jason Richardson will be a hot
item for teams needing an upgrade in the
backcourt. Richardson is no longer the
20-points-per-game scorer, but he can still
shoot the ball.
Te 30-year-old veteran averaged 15
points per game last year, shooting 45 per-
cent from the feld. Richardsons best attri-
bute is the three-ball, and he shot a blistering
40 percent from behind the arc last season.
Where he Will eND up:
Richardson is ringless in 10 seasons. Te
Magic have Gilbert Arenas, making things
more complicated. With that said, Rich-
ardsons age is a concern, and I think he
will take a pay cut to play for a contending
team like the Chicago Bulls.

While fans are shopping for tickets for
the Christmas games, many teams will be
shopping for players. Let the NBAs version
of Black Friday begin on Dec. 9.

or many KU fans who
watched Turner Gills 19
losses in the last two seasons,
the decision to relieve him of his
coaching duties probably seemed
like a no-brainer. But dont let that
record fool you. There seems to be
an unwritten rule that college foot-
ball coaches should get no less than
three seasons to get their program
where they want it with no ties to
the previous administration, and
for the most part, I agree with that.
Firing a coach after just two seasons
especially with a coach as nice
as Gill, who every player seemed to
love could bring some backlash
from national media. But for most
people who had watched those
weekly train wrecks up close and
personal, adhering to protocol was
not an option with Gills situation.
Athletics Director Sheahon
Zenger took appropriate and swift
action, and it was spot-on. Now
comes the hard part finding a
coach who will take Kansas football
from a national laughingstock to a
respectable program.
When the news of Gills depar-
ture became official, many Jayhawk
fans wanted former Texas Tech
coach Mike Leach, who has been
out of coaching since being fired in
2009 after alleged player mistreat-
ment. According to cbssports.com,
Leach has agreed to terms with
Washington State to be its next
football coach, squashing any hopes
of the offensive genius returning
to the Big 12. Leach was the one of
the more wanted candidates from
most fans perspectives. Not just at
Kansas, but at a lot of schools that
are looking for a new coach.
But the good news for Jayhawk
fans is that Zenger knows what hes
doing. Hes a former college foot-
ball coach himself and has many
relationships with coaches across
the country. Would he have liked to
sign Leach? Im sure he would have.
But theres plenty of good coaches
still available for the picking, and
Zenger will have plenty of chances
to hire a coach good enough to
overhaul Kansas football.
From Southern Mississippi
coach Larry Fedora, to Florida
State defensive coordinator Mark
Stoops, to former South Florida
coach Jim Leavitt the list of can-
didates doesnt stop at Leach. And
it certainly doesnt stop at the three
aforementioned coaches.
It was rumored that Zenger had
been setting up interviews earlier
this week. It has been confirmed
that on Wednesday he was not in
Lawrence, said associate athletics
director Jim Marchiony, and possi-
bly out interviewing the candidates
who remain on his wish list. With
Zengers background as a coach and
his track record of hiring a football
coach at Illinois State, combined
with the bounty of good candidates
still available, KU fans should not
worry about who Zenger chooses
for next season.
Mike Leach was the best coach
available this off-season, and for
whatever reason it didnt work out.
However, the opportunity to hire a
coach near Leachs ability without
any of his baggage could be con-
sidered a victory. But as Kansas
football fans now know all too well,
games are won in the fall, not in
press conferences in December.

says they should do, and hire Randy
Shannon to clean up their program.
FOOTBALL
Call it post-Maui jet lag, laziness
or simply overlooking their foe.
For the first four minutes of
Wednesday nights tilt with Florida
Atlantic University at Allen
Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks appeared
unready to avenge their loss to
Duke.
It was the Hawaii hangover,
Self said. Too much pineapple
juice.
After a pair of turnovers and a
few Florida Atlantic jump shots,
the Owls led the game 9-3 and
coach Bill Self, face reddened and
disgusted, called a time out.
From that point on, the
Jayhawks found a lead through
aggression and a sense of urgency,
but despite the lead, Kansas regu-
larly committed fouls, turnovers
and mental errors. The ugliness
wouldnt cease.
Kansas still won the game
77-54, but they never found a true
rhythm in their first game back in
Allen Fieldhouse following the 19
day separation.
I dont know if their concen-
tration was where it needed to be
because they were pretty much in
control, FAU coach Mike Jarvis
said. They might have relaxed a
little bit.
Self said at Mondays press con-
ference that he wanted to establish
his bench players: a difficult task
in games as tight as those in Maui.
Freshman guard Naadir Tharpe,
sophomore forward Justin Wesley
and junior forward Kevin Young,
all substitutes, committed seven
fouls in a combined 35 minutes
during last nights game, but they
werent the only players at fault.
With 7:10 left in the game, junior
guard Elijah Johnson dribbled up
the court, stopped just after the
half-court line and tossed a pass
to a teammate. The ball deflected
off a defenders hand and out of
bounds. The pass never really had
a chance, which Johnson probably
knew by the time the ball left his
hand. Self, his face red, slapped his
hands together and turned away in
disbelief. It was a lazy mistake that
epitomized Self s frustrations.
Hes still in Hawaii, Self said of
Johnson, who finished the night
without a point and seven turn-
overs. He didnt get hungover. He
got left there.
Perhaps baffled at what they
were seeing, the usually raucous
fans of the Fieldhouse never
approached deafening volumes.
We didnt do anything to juice
the building, Self said.
No. 2 Ohio State will visit
Lawrence a week from Saturday, but
junior forward Thomas Robinson
said that the team wont look past
this Saturdays game against South
Florida, nor Tuesdays game against
Long Beach State.
Kansas surrendered a total
of 17 turnovers Wednesday, but
Robinson repeated that its still too
early in the season to call it an
omen.
Thats something that comes
over time, junior forward Thomas
Robinson said. Just keeping our
focus and not catching ADD.
