Two recent studies refute the idea that
universities are hotbeds of liberal indoc-
trination, finding that professors have little
to no affect on their students political ide-
ologies.

Under more than two miles of Antarcticas ice may lie a
mountain range larger than the European Alps.
In less than a month, engineering student Chris McMinn
will head to the continent to determine whether the range
exists and, if so, how large it is.
McMinn, Olathe junior, is a member of the Center for
Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets, or CReSIS, a research group
that develops radars to measure ice depth. David Braaten,
professor of geography, is going with McMinn on the four-
week trip. He said no one had ever accurately measured
the depth of the ice or found what was beneath it. Seismic
measurements taken in the 1950s are one of the few con-
crete pieces of evidence supporting the mountain ranges
existence. Braaten said a stronger pull of gravity in certain
areas of the continent indicated a mountain range.
It tells you theres something massive down there,

Obama builds diverse Cabinet, nixes Bush policies
AssociAted Press
WASHINGTON President-
elect Obama plans to use his execu-
tive powers to make an immediate
effect when he takes office, per-
haps reversing Bush administra-
tion policies on stem cell research
and domestic drilling for oil and
natural gas.
John Podesta, Obamas transi-
tion chief, said Sunday Obama is
reviewing President Bushs execu-
tive orders on those issues and
others as he works to undo poli-
cies enacted during eight years
of Republican rule. He said the
president could use such orders to
move quickly on his own.
Theres a lot that the president
can do using his executive author-
ity without waiting for congressio-
nal action, and I think well see the
president do that, Podesta said.
I think that he feels like he has a
real mandate for change. We need
to get off the course that the Bush
administration has set.
Podesta also said Obama was
working to build a diverse Cabinet.
That includes reaching out to
Republicans and independents
part of the broad coalition that
supported Obama during the race
against Republican John McCain.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates
has been mentioned as a possible
holdover.
Hes not even a Republican,
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
of Nevada said. Why wouldnt we
want to keep him? Hes never been
a registered Republican.
Obama was elected on a prom-
ise of change, but the nature of the
job makes it difficult for presidents
to do much that has an immediate
impact on the lives of average peo-
ple. Congress plans to take up a sec-
ond economic aid plan before years
end an effort Obama supports,
But it could be months or longer
before taxpayers see the effect.
Obama could use his execu-
tive powers to at least signal that
Washington is changing.
Obamas advantage of course is
hell have the House and the Senate
working with him, and that makes it
easier, said Carl Tobias, a law profes-
sor at the University of Richmond.
But even then, having an immediate
impact is very difficult to do because
the machinery of government doesnt
move that quickly.
Presidents long have used exec-
utive orders to impose policy and
set priorities. One of Bushs first
acts was to reinstate full abor-
tion restrictions on U.S. overseas
aid. The restrictions were first
ordered by President Reagan and
the first President Bush followed
suit. President Clinton lifted them
soon after he occupied the Oval
Office.

Claim of bluer Kansas is
ended by election results
TOPEKA, Kan. Gov.
Kathleen Sebelius and fellow
Democrats have been fond in
recent years of arguing that
if Kansas hasnt turned from
Republican red to Democratic
blue in its politics, its at least
becoming purple.
But election results this year
undercut that claim.
Come January, Democrats
will return to holding only one
of the states four seats in the
U.S. House, and Republicans
will remain as much in control
of the Legislature as before. A
spirited Democratic challenge
to Republican Sen. Pat Roberts
ended as so many such races
have in the past, with a big
GOP victory.
The main evidence of a shift
toward purple always has been
Sebelius victories in the 2002
and 2006 governors races.
But last weeks election
results suggest that Sebelius
strong political skills and
her ability to raise boodles of
campaign funds are the
main reason Kansas politics
seemed to shift away from its
traditional crimson hue. Thats
a sobering thought for the
Kansas Democratic Party as
it faces a near-term future in
which she doesnt hold elective
ofce.
I think this Kansas-going-
purple thing has been a little
overblown, and obviously the
results demonstrate that, said
Sen. Chris Steineger, a Kansas
City Democrat.

SAN DIEGO As many as
10,000 people took to the streets
in San Diego, and similar num-
bers marched in Los Angeles
Saturday to protest passage of an
anti-gay marriage ballot initiative,
authorities said.
Demonstrators began march-
ing through central San Diego
at noon, according to police Sgt.
Diane Wendell. The event lasted
about 90 minutes and was peace-
ful, with no arrests.
The march in the Silver Lake
area of Los Angeles began at
Saturday evening and lasted about
four hours, said police Sgt. Jake
Bushy. No incidents were report-
ed as demonstrators marched
down Sunset Boulevard carrying
signs and waving banners.
The demonstrations were the
largest of several marches that
followed Tuesdays passage of
Proposition 8, a constitutional
amendment banning same-sex
marriages and overturning the
state Supreme Court decision that
legalized such unions in May.
A candlelight vigil in Laguna
Beach Saturday evening drew
about 1,000 people and police
reported no incidents.
On Friday, tensions flared at
a vigil at Palm Springs City Hall
when a supporter of the gay mar-
riage ban carrying a plastic foam
cross clashed with protesters,
according to The Desert Sun. The
crowd ripped the cross from her
hands and stomped on it. About
2,000 people gathered in Long
Beach Friday night and there
were three arrests.
In Salt Lake City Friday night,
a crowd of about 2,000 chanted
Separate church and state and
waved rainbow flags outside the
headquarters of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
which encouraged its members to
work to pass the amendment by
volunteering for the campaign.

rmcgeeney@kansan.com
In the days leading up to the
2008 presidential election, Barack
Obama buttons and T-shirts near-
ly overtook campus as the fash-
ion du jour. But those looking to
hold professors responsible for the
overwhelming popularity of the
Democratic candidate find them-
selves increas-
ingly at odds
with research
on where stu-
dents beliefs
originate.
Ellen Jensby,
Wichita third-
year law stu-
dent, said that
by the time stu-
dents reached
the univer-
sity level, they
had already formed their political
beliefs.
I think, at this point, were pret-
ty much set in our ways, Jensby
said.
That attitude was supported by
two recent studies accepted by PS:
Political Science & Politics, the
quarterly journal of the American
Political Science Association.
Researchers found that the politi-
cal leanings of professors had no
measurable influence on the politi-
cal attitudes and opinions of their
students.
The article Indoctrination U.?
Faculty Ideology and Changes
in Student Political Orientation,
published in the journals October
issue, examined almost 7,000 stu-
dents at 38 institutions of higher
learning and found that students
political views were not swayed by
their professors political leanings.
A second study, which reached
similar conclusions, is slated to run
in the journals April 2009 issue.
Allan Cigler, professor of politi-
cal science, said that while he was
familiar with the conventional wis-
dom of liberal indoctrination on
college campuses, he was not sur-
prised by the results of the recent
studies.
We live in an era when peo-
ple are suspicious of institutions,
said Cigler, who has taught at the
University since 1970. Much of
the talk is about media bias, and
you saw it with the presidential
election. Well, universities are
institutions, too, and theres just a
general suspicion that because the
faculty tend
to be over-
whe l mi ng l y
Democrat that
somehow there
is this deliber-
ate attempt to
i ndoct r i nat e
people.
C i g l e r
said a body
of research
already existed
that suggested
students werent especially affected
by their professors beliefs.
It comes down to values,
Cigler said. You certainly can
affect the students ideas about
who important candidates are, or
what major policy issues are, but
it would be very, very difficult to
actually change peoples minds
about their values. Theyre simply
too ingrained.
Cigler also
dismissed the
notion that
students were
particularly vul-
nerable to being
subconsciously
manipulated.
People know
when people are
trying to force
values on them, Cigler said.
Hannah Britton, associate pro-
fessor of both women, gender and
sexuality studies and political sci-
ence, said that she avoided issues of
bias in her classes by not narrowing
students discussions to arbitrary
right-or-wrong arguments.
We never ask students to see
two sides of the story, said Britton,
a recipient of a 2008 Kemper Award
for Teaching Excellence. We ask
them to see eight sides of the story.
The idea is to make sure they have
the room to explore the intellectual
merits of multiple perspectives. I
think thats the training weve all
been given, and its something we
believe.
Britton identified the idea of
indoctrination at public institu-
tions as a societal myth.
Actual incidents of indoctrina-
tion at the University seemed to be
in short supply among students.
Mandy Shriwise, Overland Park
senior, said that she typically felt
challenged, rather than directed, by
professors when it came to her own
preconceived notions.
They definitely encourage stu-
dents to examine their beliefs,
Shriwise said. To look at their
thoughts and make difficult deci-
sions thats been huge in an
election year.
Israel Interiano, Wichita gradu-
ate student, said that in his course-
work this semester, political parties
had essentially been presented as
hypothetical catalysts for the future
of U.S. tax code, the subject of
Interianos graduate work.
My professors basically say, if
the Republicans remain in office,
this is what
will happen. If
the Democrats
come into
office, this is
what will hap-
pen, Interiano
said. Its not
to influence us
its just this
happens or
that happens.
Jensby said that the political
leanings of most of her professors
had largely remained a mystery.
More than anything, its the
students who show their political
affiliation, she said.

Braaten said. Its a true discovery.
Our radars will determine it pre-
cisely. Well come back with a very
detailed understanding of the extent
of the mountain and how high the
slopes are.
McMinn and Braaten are going
on the expedition with groups from
other universities and with the British
Antarctic Survey. The temporary
campsite where they will live is at an
elevation of 11,000 feet. To put that in
perspective, McMinn said, the aver-
age skydiver jumps from 5,000 feet.
McMinn said he was excited to go
on the trip but nervous because of
the risks associated with Antarcticas
high elevation and severe climate.
I can feel the panic sitting there,
he said. I think its actually going to
kick in when I get on the plane.
Because 98 percent of Antarctica
is covered with snow and ice, the
continent reflects almost all the
suns light rather than absorbing it.
Antarctica has less rainfall than a
desert and temperatures range from
negative 40 to negative 94 degrees
Fahrenheit in the winter. These
extreme temperatures make simple
tasks like taking a shower and drink-
ing water difficult.
McMinn said that the group
would have to melt the water they
used, but that he wasnt sure what the
bathrooms would be like.
Were really high up there, he
said. You could have health issues
because of the pressure change.
McMinn said he and the other
researchers would have to wear at
least 30 SPF sunscreen at all times
and don UV-blocking sunglasses
to protect them from the harsh
Antarctic sun. But his biggest con-
cern was their computers overheat-
ing because of the lack of water in
the atmosphere.
Ian Cahir, communications coor-
dinator for the engineering depart-
ment, said the radar CReSIS devel-
oped was one of the most advanced
of its kind and could help predict the
effect polar ice sheets had on sea level
change.
Columbia University requested
to copy the CReSIS radar system
because it was the only one of its type
available. After the data are collected
in Antarctica, it will be returned to
the University for McMinn and other
CReSIS members to analyze.

Students sing and act in the raunchy opera, Street Scene
BY BRANDY ENTSMINGER
bentsminger@kansan.com
Cultures collide with alcohol-
ism, abuse and adultery in the
University Theaters production of
the opera Street Scene.
Kurt Weill composed the opera
based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning
book by Elmer Rice and used
Langston Hughes poetry for the
lyrics. The show opened on Friday
and will continue Thursday to
Saturday.
The opera is set at the turn of
the 20th century and centers on
the relationships and scandals
within a neighborhood of immi-
grants. The majority of the action
surrounds two families. One fam-
ily is torn apart by an affair while
at the same time their daughter
finds love in one of the other
families.
Elliot Metz, Wichita sopho-
more, said the neighbors acted like
a Greek chorus as they gossiped
about what was going on with the
other families.
Its kind of a warning tale of
what Juciy Campus could have
done to the 1910s, Metz said.
The cast members range from
children to doctoral students and
come from theater and opera
backgrounds. Metz said that it was
sometimes challenging to work
with the children but that it helped
keep the mood light.
It kept us from ever getting too
stressed out, Metz said.
Because the characters in
Street Scene represented a vari-
ety of cultural backgrounds, the
actors had to learn to speak in dif-
ferent dialects and accents.
Most of the actors had to speak
with a New York accent, but oth-
ers had to learn Irish, German,
Swedish, Italian and Yiddish dia-
lects.
Paul Meier, professor of theater
and film, trained the actors and
said they had to learn to break
the language down into signature
sounds. Once they learned the
pronunciation of the words, the
actors learned the rhythm and
melody of the language so they
could apply it to English.
Meier said learning dialects and
accents was different for everyone,
but he said Yiddish was often per-
ceived as most difficult because
actors had to learn to trill some of
their sounds.
For extra help, Meier produced
recordings of the actors lines.
In addition to mastering a
Yiddish dialect, Metz had to mas-
ter the movements of an older
Jewish man. Although he is one
of the youngest cast members, his
character is the oldest.
Metz said it was challenging
because he had never played any-
one over the age of 30, but said it
helped to use a cane in his scenes.
To look the part, Metz must arrive
30 minutes before the other cast
members so he can have his make-
up done.
The show unfolds in the
Crafton-Preyer Theatre. The
cast acts inside a triangle in the
middle of the stage and the audi-
ence sits on the stage outside the
triangle.
Metz said having the audi-
ence nearby allowed the actors to
gauge their reactions and made it
so most of the male cast members
didnt have to wear as much
makeup.
Tazewell Thompson guest
directed the opera and said Weill
blended European and American
influences in his music. Blues,
jazz, upbeat Broadway, Broadway
ballad and the jitterbug are among
the many styles featured in Street
Scene.
Its a great eclectic score and
every song and the orchestrations
are brilliant, Thompson said.
Meaghan Deiter, Sabetha grad-
uate student, said the dialogue and
English lyrics would make it easy
for the audience to get engaged in
the show.
Its kind of a good way to get
your feet wet in opera, Deiter
said.
Street Scene will take place
at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through
Saturday on Stage Too! in Murphy
Hall. Student tickets are $10.

Logan Englert, Topeka sopho-
more, has found a unique way of
putting a few extra dollars in his
pocket.
Twice a week Englert donates
plasma, earning on average $60
every week.
He has made
close to $400
since his first
donation two
months ago.
A friend
of mine did it
last year and
made enough
through the
course of the
semester to pay for a spring break
trip to Cancun, Englert said. I
already have a job, but Im all for
the money.
Englert works in the Oliver Hall
cafeteria. He said donating plasma
for eight hours every two weeks is
equal to two-thirds of his paycheck.
He works 24 hours during the same
amount of time in the cafeteria.
Plasma is the liquid portion of
the blood. It is vital to the immune
system as well as bleeding and
infection control, according to the
Web site of ZLB Plasma, a world-
wide plasma collection company
with a center located in Lawrence.
According to Christine Kuhinka,
ZLB Plasmas manager of corporate
communications, donating plasma
is a win-win situation. Not only are
donors getting a few extra bucks,
but the lives of people who suffer
from a wide range of medical con-
ditions such as hemophilia and
immune deficiencies are being
saved, Kuhinka said.
At the end of the day, donating
plasma is all
about saving
lives, Kuhinka
said. It takes
130 plasma
donations to
manuf acture
enough treat-
ment to keep
one person
with primary
immune defi-
ciency alive for one year.
Kuhinka said there are several
requirements in order to donate
plasma. Qualified donors must
weigh at least 110 pounds, be at
least 18 years old, live within 125
miles of a center and have proof of
identity when they go to donate.
Other qualifications include hav-
ing received a tattoo or piercing
no sooner than 12 months prior to
donating.
She said the process takes less
than two hours to complete after
the initial visit.
All visits include a physical
examination followed by time
spent connected to a plasmaphere-
sis machine. This machine draws
the plasma from the blood and
then injects blood cells back into

Plasma can be donated more
often than blood, Kuhinka said.
Its not as tough on the body,
because red and white blood cells
are returned to you.
Englert said the time spent
donating allows him to work on
homework or read a book. He said
the center he goes to also has tele-
visions.
Aaron Othmer, Topeka fresh-
man, said the process itself is rather
painless.
The only part that really hurts
is when they put the needle in,
Othmer said. After that, its really
not bad at all.
Othmer said hes been donat-
ing plasma for two weeks. Like
Englert, Othmer said he enjoys the
extra cash.
They pay you a decent amount
of money for a short amount of
time, Othmer said. And now that
I know its for a good cause, it
makes me want to go back more
often.

Students choose to donate plasma for extra cash
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Many students at the University have chosen to donate plasma as a way to earn extra cash or to supplement their income fromtheir part-time jobs. Many students meet the qualifcations to
donate plasma, which include weighing at least 110 pounds, being at least 18 years old, living within 125 miles of a donation center and having proof of identity when they go to donate. Christine
Kuhinka, manager of corporate communications at ZBT Plasma, said that donating plasma is ultimately about saving lives. The do-gooder aspect of donating makes it a win-win situation, she said.
Knowing their donation was for a
good cause also factors into decision
At the end of the day, donating
plasma is all about saving lives.

WICHITA Officials here
estimate that as many as 3,500
elderly Sedgwick County residents
are robbed every year by scam art-
ists, family caregivers or other
thieves.
But a task force organized by
District Attorney Nola Foulston is
keeping a closer eye on financial
transactions of senior citizens. The
Financial Abuse Specialist Team,
formed in October, enlists the
help of volunteers such as bank
employees, U.S. postal employees,
Kansas Department Social and
Rehabilitation Services workers,
federal agents and elderly mental
health specialists.
Margie McFrederick is a banker
who says workers watch for elderly
customers coming in regularly to
withdraw money with the help of a
nonrelative who does all the talking.
They also watch for seniors who
start making small, unexplained
withdrawals from their savings
accounts, aware that scam artists
call confused elderly people at
home and pretend to be from a
bank, asking for all sorts of bank-
ing information and Social Security
numbers.
One of the worst parts about
this is that the elderly involved
are from a generation that trusted
people and has a lot of pride, said
McFrederick, a vice president at
Emprise bank. So they often dont
report it when they are robbed.
Authorities say only a frac-
tion of such crimes against elderly
residents get reported. Between
July 2007 and July 2008, the state
received 184 reports of fiduciary
abuse and exploitation.
April Shine, supervisor of the
SRSs Adult Protective Services,
said that in the four months since
July 1 this year, there already have
been 107 reports.
Foulston set aside money in her
budget last year to build a new
financial crimes investigative team,
which now is compiling evidence
for several cases.
One of the cases prosecuted by
the team was that of John Hartley,
who began conning money out
of Mildred Patterson, an elderly
Wichita woman with dementia, in
2003.
In early 2004 Pattersons son
Ray, a California resident, became
convinced that Hartley was steal-
ing thousands of dollars from his
mother.

HEALTH
Study fnds pill drastically
decreases heart problems
neW OrLeans People with
low cholesterol and no big risk
for heart disease dramatically
lowered their chances of dying
or having a heart attack if they
took the cholesterol pill crestor,
a large study found.
the results, reported sunday
at an american heart associa-
tion conference, were hailed as a
watershed event in heart disease
prevention. Doctors said the
study might lead as many as 7
million more americans to con-
sider taking cholesterol-lowering
statin drugs, sold as crestor,
Lipitor, Zocor or in generic form.
this takes prevention to a
whole new level, because it applies
to patients who we now wouldnt
have any evidence to treat,said
Dr. W. Douglas Weaver, a Detroit
cardiologist and president of the
american college of cardiology.
the study also gives the best
evidence yet for using a new test
to identify people who may need
treatment, according to a state-
ment from Dr. elizabeth nabel,
director of the national heart,
Lung and Blood institute. the new
research will be considered by ex-
perts reviewing current guidelines.
however, some doctors urged
caution. crestor gave clear ben-
eft in the study, but so few heart
attacks and deaths occurred
among these low-risk people
that treating everyone like them
in the united states could cost
up to 9 billion dollars a year a
difcult sell, one expert said.
about 120 people would have
to take crestor for two years to pre-
vent a single heart attack, stroke
or death, said stanford university
cardiologist Dr. Mark hlatky.

Only 17 percent of the student
body voted in the last Student
Senate election. The fact that an
overwhelming majority decided
not to vote illustrates the problem
of student political apathy. Student
Senate has recognized that the
current system does not inspire
students to vote, and has created
an Election Reform Committee to
help address this problem.
The Election Reform Committee
passed part of a bill to limit cam-
paign activities before Student
Senate elections. The purpose of
the bill was to put a limit on the
intensity of campaigning for the
sake of the student body and of
the candidates. The limits on cam-
paigning may also encourage more
students to vote in Student Senate
elections and potentially allow
them to concentrate more on the
issues.
Student political apathy cannot
be solved with one simple bill or
one campaign. However, Student
Senate is taking a step in the right
direction by attempting to lessen
the intensity of campaigning. By
putting limits on campaign activi-
ties, Student Senate has created a
balance between suffocating voters
with too much information and
allowing candidates to still get their
message out.
Not only will this bill improve
voter turnout by lessening cam-
paign activity, but the new legisla-
tion will also encourage candidates
to spend less time on petty adver-
tising and more on addressing stu-
dent concerns.
Because candidates now have
restrictions on campaigning, they
will be forced to focus more on dis-
cussing issues and answering ques-
tions than on campaign slogans.
Campus political involvement
should be a priority to students
during their college careers. Many
reasons exist as to why students
do not participate in campus poli-
tics, and it would be impossible to
address all the issues at once.
However, one reason students
might not vote is because they
feel overwhelmed and annoyed by
campaign activities, and therefore
are turned off from voting.
I hope this new legislation
results in higher turnout numbers
for the next Student Senate election
in April. Student Senate has taken
the initiative to help lessen stu-
dent political apathy and although
this new legislation will not fix
the problem, it is definitely a good
start.

Why students should
come out from hiding
In the worlds increasing des-
peration, environmentally friendly
practices can get a little weird.
Some people have taken reduce,
reuse, recycle to the extreme and
are happy to proclaim that they
use only one sheet of toilet paper,
and other environmentalists have
given up on toilets thats use water
completely.
But I found something that is
potentially weirder.
Now, 10 years after I threw my
last dolostone back into the murky
neighborhood lake where I res-
cued it, rock collections are back
in vogue.
A study appearing in the early
edition of the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences
announced last Wednesday that
the rock peridotite is capable of
absorbing large amounts of carbon
dioxide naturally.
When exposed to carbon diox-
ide, peridotite forms calcium car-
bonate and magnesium carbonate
rocks. Researchers from Columbia
University discovered the rocks in
the country of Oman during an
expedition.
Dont look for peridotite plus
option at the gas station any time
soon, though. How to harness this
freebie to fix the environment is a
geode still being cracked.
One possibility is to capture
carbon emissions, transport them
to the rock formations and pump
them into the rock.
This wouldnt be the first time
carbon has been stored in the
earths cellar.
A common practice now is to
pump carbon into underground
aquifer, and a few years ago the
Bush administration proposed cap-
turing and pumping carbon diox-
ide emission into the deep ocean.
Brushing our greenhouse gases
under a coral reef carpet seemed
like an innovative plan before con-
sidering the millions of organisms,
some which we eat, that would suf-
fer as a result.
Scientists think they could expe-
dite the reaction process by pump-
ing cool sea water into the hot
underground rock. The water acts
as a catalyst for the carbon reac-
tion by fracturing the rock, which
exposes more of the rocks surface
to the atmosphere.
This would reduce costs of
transporting carbon, and the nat-
urally heated underground rock
eliminates the need to heat the
water beforehand.
Some think that the rocks could
potentially absorb up to 4 billion
tons of carbon per year, a sizeable
portion of the average 30 billion
tons produced yearly worldwide.
Enhancing nature may not be
the most reliable solution to solv-
ing the climate crisis, though.
Modifying nature for our own pur-
poses has led to some inopportune
consequences Im thinking of
Velveeta cheese.
Yet, if this method works, it
would provide a counterbalance
to Omans massive oil and gas pro-
duction.
Peridotite is a mixed blessing. It
is not a panacea for climate woes.
Our efforts should be definitely
directed toward cutting back the
impetus for making a carbon foot-
print, not wiping up our muddy
shoes after the fact.
Peridotite will reduce the
amount of carbon in the air. It
cant regenerate the ozone layer
or decrease global temperatures
immediately, but it will unload a
few of the bullets in the industrial
gun aimed at our feet.

Why im tired of hearing
republicans complain
I was at the Dole Institute for
Ray Strothers last lecture on the
election. An older gentleman
sitting behind me, sporting a
Sarah 2012 hat, was more than
visibly upset about Tuesdays
outcome. The man shrieked
about how Obama had used
foreign funds and stole the elec-
tion. He wants stricter restric-
tions on donating to politics,
like donors have to Americans
(they do) and the public should
be able to fnd out who they are
(we can).
To my fellow members of
the Jo who are upset over
the impending tax increase on
their parents: Stop ignoring
the fnancial crisis we are in
recession. Stop ignoring the
needs of the people. There are
those without food. Stop ignor-
ing the needs of the world. The
world needs hope.
To all the high schoolers
who blame Obama for this eco-
nomic crisis: You are ridiculous.
You have all forgotten about
what a leader is supposed to
do: provide hope and stability.
Obama does that. The only way
were going to stabilize the mar-
ket is by increasing aggregate
demand, which means we need
to decrease class disparity and
obligate people to buy more
perishable goods. Every time
a stimulus package is aimed
at the wealthiest for a trickle-
down efect, it hasnt fulflled
either of those goals.
Reaganomics is over. Deal
with it.
I am tired of listening to
those of you who clearly did
nothing to help/hurt either
campaign. I did very little,
but the Republicans I have
heard complaining, I know
did much less. Did you donate
money? Did you donate your
time? Based on the fact that I
frequently hear about your lat-
est romps at The Wheel, I will
assume no.
America yearned for change,
and unless you tried to stop it
get over it.

What Obama means
for americas image
Americans reshaped their
very history, born in free-
dom and slavery, by electing
their frst black president, in
a gesture of reconciliation
and redress that left many
weeping with joy and relief.
In handing not only the
White House but also Con-
gress to the Democrats, they
also rebufed the powerful
Republican neoconservative
ideology that has domi-
nated their political life since
Ronald Reagan frst won
election back in 1980.
Bushs serial incompe-
tency has badly discred-
ited an ideology that was
notable for its indiference
to the United Nations and
its preference for hawkish
unilateralism; its conviction
that small government, un-
bridled markets and tax cuts
are the answers to every
problem; and its massive
defense spending.
And, of course, Obamas
victory marks a generational
break from the long-dom-
inant Boomer generation.
Never again will a politician
admit, as John McCain did,
that he or she cant use a
computer. And, importantly
for Americans, Obama is of
the post-Vietnam genera-
tion. That means the sterile
old debate about where
politicians stood for or
against the war, with anti-
war activist Jane Fonda or
not has now become a relic
of the past.
This was Americas
resounding reply to Obamas
call 48 hours before the
vote: I ask you to believe,
not just in my ability to bring
about change, but in yours.
Americans celebrated
themselves, as an admiring
world looked on.

It is probable that a lot

BAGHDAD Bombs killed at
least eight people Sunday across
Iraq and wounded dozens of oth-
ers, officials said. Syrias president
blamed the U.S. military presence
for Iraqs instability and called on
U.S. troops to leave.
In the northern city of Mosul,
a roadside bomb ripped through
an Iraqi army patrol soon after
sundown, killing three soldiers
and wounding four others, police
said.
U.S. and Iraqi troops have been
fighting for months to clear al-
Qaida in Iraq and about a dozen
other Sunni insurgent groups
from Mosul, Iraqs third largest
city.
To the south, a bomb attached
to a bike wrapped in a trash bag
exploded outside a cafe in Khalis,
50 miles (80 kilometers) north of
Baghdad, killing at least two peo-
ple and wounding 13, including
the city mayor, police said.
The cafe is located in a market
area that includes a public health
clinic and the precise target was
unclear. Khalis is a mostly Shiite
town surrounded by Sunni com-
munities and was a hotbed of
Sunni-Shiite fighting in 2006 and
2007.
In Anbar province, a woman
suicide bomber blew herself up at
a hospital in Amiriyat al-Fallujah,
a suburb of Fallujah, about 40
miles (65 kilometers) west of the
capital.
Talib al-Hassnawi, a member
in Fallujah municipal council,
said three people were killed and
five were wounded.
Police said the dead included
two women and a 10-year-old
girl.
All the policemen spoke on
condition of anonymity because
they were not supposed to release
the information.
A car bomb was discovered
Sunday behind the governors
office in the northern oil city of
Kirkuk. Police became suspicious
and summoned U.S. troops who
cleared the area and detonated the
vehicle without casualties, police
Col. Taha Salahuddin said.
Four men were arrested, he
added.
In Baghdad, six people,
including three policemen, were
wounded by a roadside bomb in
the eastern part of the city, the
U.S. military said.
The attack in Amiriyat al-Fal-
lujah occurred one day after a sui-
cide bombing killed eight people
and wounded 17 at a police check-
point near Ramadi, about 25 miles
(45 kilometers) to the west.
The violence comes two
months after the U.S. handed con-
trol of Anbar province over to the
Iraqis and shows that militants
have still not given up the fight
despite setbacks at the hands of
U.S. and Iraqi forces.
The attacks occurred as Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki is study-
ing the U.S. response to the gov-
ernments request for changes in
a draft security agreement that
would keep U.S. troops in the
country until the end of 2011.
Iraqs parliament must approve
the deal by the end of the year
when the U.N. mandate under
which U.S. forces operate here
expires. Without an agreement or
a new mandate, most all military
operations will cease.
The draft agreement that
has drawn sharp criticism from
Iraqi Shiite clerics and Shiite-
dominated Iran. Tehrans closest
Arab ally, Syria, lashed out against
the pact Sunday.
Syrian President Bashar Assad
said U.S. troops contribute to
regional instability and should
pull out of Iraq as soon as pos-
sible.
Assad pointed to a recent
American cross-border raid into
Syria as evidence that the U.S.
will use Iraq as a base to attack its
neighbors.

LINCOLN, Neb. Trying to win in
Lincoln for the first time in 40 years, Kansas
did on Saturday what it did in several of the
19 straight previous losses let it slowly
slip from its grasp after entering the fourth
quarter with a chance to win the game.
In the end, it was a crushing 45-35
loss to the Cornhuskers that dropped the
Jayhawks to 6-4 overall and 3-3 in confer-
ence play.
So the streak continues, but the Jayhawks
realistic chances of a Big 12 North title do
not.
We could have made it a whole lot
easier on ourselves if we could have won
this game, wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe
said. We still have a shot if we beat Texas
and Missouri, but we just made it tougher
on ourselves.
Indeed, Kansas will need to defeat both
Texas and Missouri in back-to-back games
and then hope that Nebraska loses one of
its final two games to sneak into the Big
12 title game a pretty improbable task
considering the Jayhawks inability to stop
almost anyone right now and with two
of the nations top offenses waiting in the
distance.
A week after limiting Kansas State quar-
terback Josh Freeman to just 207 passing
yards, the Kansas defense again looked
like the one that gave up record breaking
days to both Oklahoma and Texas Tech in
recent weeks.
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
Marcus Morris once fouled out of a
Pennsylvania high school playoff game
because the referee erroneously credited
him with a foul his twin brother Markieff
committed.
Unfortunately for Marcus, referee Steve
Welmer and his crew didnt make any
identity mistakes in Kansas 98-79 exhibi-
tion victory against Washburn last Tuesday.
Marcus fouled out in only seven minutes
all by himself.
I felt like I played so much longer,
Marcus said.
Fouling five times in seven minutes may
have surprised Marcus, but Kansas coach
Bill Self knew it was going to happen. In
the two weeks of practice leading up to the
game, Self told the Morris twins repeatedly
they could foul out quickly in the game.
Self suspected his team was ignoring the
message. He was right.
I didnt believe him, Marcus said. Until
the game, after the game.
There was no denying it then. Marcus
said he thought he put his hands on the
Ichabod frontline players too often. Or
maybe, he was just too physical in general.
Whatever it was, Marcus couldnt believe
he fouled out that quickly. It certainly never
happened in high school or last season at
prep school.
I think it was kind of humbling to see
that it happened exactly the way that we
warned it would, Self said. I think its a
great teaching point.
Nebraska 45, kaNsas 35
S
AN ANTONIO As odd as it
sounds, the painful scene that
unfolded Friday had a strange
familiarity to it, almost like a
home video.
Kansas had just lost to Missouri in
penalty kicks, and goalkeeper Stephanie
Baugh sat in the corner of the goal, cra-
dling her legs and facing the right post.
She finally got up after a few teammates
and trainers comforted her.
At midfield, a minute after she
missed a penalty kick, Julie Hanley sat
there helpless, head in her arms. She was
the last one to walk off the field and join
the postgame huddle.
It sucks to lose like that, Francis
told his players, a few of them crying.
The grief was real. But ordinary. This
routine scene of tears and disappoint-
ment happens too often for Kansas
soccer. For the third time in four years,
the Jayhawks sustained a crushing loss
in the Big 12 Tournament and will have
to wait to find out if their season will
continue.
Right now, this years team is near-
ing the end of the waiting stage. They
waited at their hotel in San Antonio
on Friday night, on the plane ride back
home on Saturday, on their day off on
Sunday.
Now its Monday. The day they find
out. Tonight the NCAA Tournament
Selection Committee decides if it wants
to give Kansas its first spot in the tour-
ney since 2004 or if it wants to leave the
team feeling more heartbreak than it did
on Friday.
The Jayhawks deserve a bid. They
beat Texas A&M twice and won at then-
ranked Central Florida, and played in
one of the top leagues in the country.
They had an RPI of 40 as of last week,
before they beat Texas A&M a second
time and got their 12th victory.
Yes, the all-important 12th victory.
Its a magic number for Francis.
Ill be very surprised if we dont
get in the tournament, very surprised,
Francis said. It would be a travesty if
we dont.
He spoke Friday a few minutes after
the loss to Missouri. Like the scene of
tears, his words were an echo from the
past.
Three years ago, he was sure his team
would make the NCAA Tournament.
They were 11-7-2. They tied for sec-
ond place in the conference. They had
Caroline Smith, a senior All-American
and the greatest player in KU history.
He was so sure theyd make it that the
team had a watch party for the selection
show.
So on a Monday evening in
November, reporters and players
crowded into the Memorial Stadium
press box. They watched as the Selection
Committee made its picks. Five teams
from the Big 12 got their name called
Texas A&M, Iowa State, Nebraska,
Colorado and Texas, which lost its only
meeting with Kansas and finished with a
worse record.
Francis would tell reporters that up
until the final choice, he believed. Then
reality set in. Kansas didnt make it. The
team filed out in silence.
The next year the Jayhawks went
11-7-2 and lost in penalty kicks in the
first round of the conference tourna-
ment. Francis didnt bother to schedule
a watch party. He alerted the team by
text message, saying they didnt make
the tournament. That was it.
Now the Jayhawks are back on the
bubble, in that place where one opin-
ion on the Selection Committee can
mean the difference between tears and
joy. Theyre the sixth best team in the
conference. No more than five Big 12

Last week, my friend and boss,
Matt Erickson, mentioned how
Kansas City Star columnist Joe
Posnanski used to make list col-
umns every couple weeks in his
first year on the job. I had no
idea. So I looked some up in the
archives. I liked them.
And it got me to thinking. I
should do one. And second, you
readers are probably smarter and
cleverer than I am. So, send a list to
morningbrew@kansan.com if you
have a cool idea. If its the best one
of the week, The Morning Brew
will publish it.
Now, in honor of Posnanski,
here is the first-ever Morning Brew
List Mania.
Three goals for KU football
against Texas
1. Not give up 52 points in the
first half
2. Have Mark Mangino talk
about three letters after the game,

3. Win. Hey, it could happen.

Four coaches K-State could
realistically hire who are better

1. Exiled Dennis Franchione
2. Retired Bill Snyder
3. Dillon Highs Eric Taylor
4. Anyone with a clipboard

Three shows that are still bet-

NBA
1. Murphy Brown re-runs
2. Two and a Half Men
3. CSI: Branson, Mo.
Interlude: So get this. While
searching for TV shows on Google,
I stumbled across an old show called
The Secret Diary of Desmond
Pfeiffer. It was on UPN 10 years
ago and was a comedy about a
black British man who became Abe
Lincolns butler. It made fun of
slavery. It was definitely not better
than early season NBA.
Four things George W. Bush
will do until Barack Obama takes
over
1. Nap
2. Golf
3. Let Dick Cheney do every-
thing.
4. Count down the days until
Garrison Keillor no longer calls
him the Current Occupant.

Questions
1. If Bush naps, plays golf and
just follows his advisers the next
two months, will it be any different
than the last eight years?
2. Wouldnt it be nice if somehow
Angel Goodrichs knee healed?
3. Whatever happened to Free
Coffee Mondays at McDonalds?
4. How does the guy who drives
the snowplow get to work?
5. Can Tyrel Reed shoot like he
did last week every game?
6. If T.I. could give you whatever
you like, what would you like?

BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
After not having a sweep in
a little over a month-and-a-half,
Kansas has had two in a row, and
freshman setter Nicole Tate could
get used to this sort of thing.
I kind of like it, Tate said with
a smile. We get done pretty fast.
Its good.
Fast might
have been an
understate-
ment. The
J a y h a w k s
( 1 2 - 1 2 ,
6-9) could
have played
a n o t h e r
match after
disposing the Red Raiders (5-21,
0-15) in three sets (25-15, 25-10,
25-22) in only an hour and ten
minutes. It was by far the fastest
and most impressive victory for
Kansas all year.
Were gaining a little bit
competitive confidence, a little
momentum to next week, coach
Ray Bechard said.
Kansas was firing on all cylin-
ders for a majority of the match.
A third
set rally from
Texas Tech
made the
score a lot
closer than
the match
really was.
The Red
Raiders were
never in the
game and
looked over-
matched the
first two sets. An impressive
showing from the Kansas block-
ers in set two limited Texas Tech
to a negative .233 hitting per-
centage.
Our blockers were in front of
their hitters all night, Bechard
said. We forced them to hit shots
they didnt want to hit.
Offensively, Kansas looked as
comfortable as its been all year.
Except for a sluggish third set,
the Jayhawks maintained their
tempo during sets one and two,
hitting .419. Kansas had only one
player, sophomore outside hitter
Karina Garlington, hit for at least
10 kills, but five players in all had
at least five kills.
If there was one low point for
the offense, it was the balance.
While five players did get at least
five kills, senior middle blocker
Natalie Uhart only had six kill
attempts.
Weve got some kids hit-
ting some high efficiencies
that arent getting the ball very
much, Bechard said. But when
Garlington is going like she is,
you got to make that happen
too.
Tate holds the burden of get-
ting those players involved. But
with how bad the Jayhawk offense
was playing a week ago, Tate has
done a better job of controlling
the offense.
We were just determined to
get back on
track, Tate
said. I just
have to stay
more con-
sistent and
distribute the
ball better.
B e c h a r d
also men-
tioned how
impressed he
was with his
teams execu-
tion of its game plan. It would
have been easy for Kansas to
overlook a Texas Tech team that
hasnt won since September, but
junior middle blocker Brittany
Williams knows that every team
in the Big 12 can be a threat.
I think every team in the Big
12 you have to respect them,
Williams said. You have to
respect each team.
There is still a lot of volleyball
left and next week Kansas will
play Nebraska at home and any
confidence the Jayhawks can gain
before that will be great.
Especially since its getting
down to the end of the season
thats what we really need, Tate
said. Going into Oklahoma next
week and Nebraska, that is some-
thing we desperately need.

Kansas hit .522 with only

Team notches second sweep
Victory gives Jayhawks confidence, momentum at end
BY ADAM SAMSON
asamson@kansan.com
The No. 23 Kansas Jayhawks
overpowered the Division II pow-
erhouse Drury Panthers in the pool
Friday night, as well as the Evansville
Purple Aces on Saturday afternoon.
In a meet where KU swimmers
turned in 24 top performances
either reaching goal times or had in-
season bests, the Jayhawks defeated
the Panthers 140-88.
There will be plenty of D-I
teams that well see this year that
arent as good as Drury, swimming
coach Clark Campbell said. They
are a very good program and theyre
going to contend for a national title
which is really cool.
The Kansas womens swimming
and diving team began Friday night
with a victory in the 200-yard medley
relay (1:44.29), consisting of sopho-
more Iuliia Kuzhil, senior Danielle
Herrmann, senior Ashley Leidigh
and senior Maria Mayrovich.
Herrmann swam a career-best
time in the 200-yard freestyle
(1:51.01) although the 200-yard
freestyle was a great performance
to help improve her freestyle for the
individual medley.
Danielles lifetime best was a big
step for her, Campbell said. What
it does is it helps give her confidence
in the freestyle portion of the IM
and we also know that were going to
put her on the freestyle relays.
Herrmanns victory in the 200-
yard freestyle with junior Emily
Lanteigne and senior Anne Liggett,
helped KU women sweep the event,
finishing 1-2-3.
Sophomore Amanda Maez turned
in an outstanding performance in the
50-yard freestyle with a season-best
time of 24.45 seconds. Maez touched
out Eunate Garro of Drury by .06 sec-
onds to earn a first-place victory.
Drurys two 50 free swimmers
are really good so I was happy to see
Amanda step up and get that victory,
Campbell said. When Maria gradu-
ates, were going to need Amanda
and Erin Goetz to step up and take
over a leadership role in the sprint
freestyles.
The Jayhawks repeated the
1-2-3 finish in the 400-yard indi-
vidual medley where sophomore Joy
Bunting took first place with a time
of 4:27.59, followed by freshman
Stephanie Payne and sophomore
Alyssa Potter.
In 3-meter diving, sophomore
Erin Mertz had a stellar perfor-
mance, winning with a final score
of 325.20, while junior Meg Proehl
finished second at 273.15.
Both Goetz and Mayrovich
achieved season bests in the 100-
yard freestyle, with Mayrovich win-
ning the event with a time of 50.32
seconds and Goetz finishing third.
Kuzhil pulled out a close victory
in the 100-yard backstroke against
Drurys Janelle Slattery.
Junior Emily Lanteigne and senior
Kendall Matous were close to their
season bests in the 500-yard freestyle
finishing first and fourth respectively,
while senior Anne Liggett finished
third and achieved an in-season best.
Proehl and Mertz flip-flopped in
the 1-meter diving event as Proehl
took first with a score of 289.72
and Mertz finished with a score of
273.07.
The swimmers and divers are
transitioning into their second phase
of training.
Bunting is excited to get started on
the second phase of training.
Usually everybodys mind set is
that you have to go in and work hard
to prepare us for the next part of the
meet season, Bunting said. Meets
over and over again is very tiring
for us.
On Saturday afternoon Kansas
had no problem winning events, tak-
ing first place in 11 of the 13 events.
KU defeated Evansville 132-95.
Next up for Kansas is a dual meet
against Nebraska-Omaha at 2 p.m.
on Saturday in Omaha. This will
wrap up the dual meet season for the
Jayhawks until after winter break.

QUOTABLE
Coach Mark Mangino
on his ofensive lines in-
ability to control the line
of scrimmage:
Their defensive line
is probably the strongest
part of their football
team. Theyre very good,
anyone thats played
themknows that. We
needed to be able to get
some runs on the inside,
take some pressure of
the quarterback in the
pocket, and we were not
able to do that.
BY TAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
LINCOLN, Neb. Judging
by the postgame celebration in
Memorial Stadium, one could
think that Nebraska just won the
Big 12 title.
Huskers lingered on the field
and danced around while fans
started chants for each of their
conquering heroes as they jogged
off into the frigid night. It might
have been a bit much, but success-
starved fans in Lincoln appreci-
ated what the victory meant.
Nebraska is now bowl eligi-
ble it seems destined for the
Sun Bowl and with closing
games at Kansas State and against
Colorado, an 8-4 record is possi-
ble. Saturdays victory averted any
doomsday scenarios and cleared
the nightmares of last weeks
62-28 blowout at Oklahoma.
Its about the kids on this foot-
ball team and they needed this,
coach Bo Pelini said. They were
heartbroken after what happened
last weekend and I wanted it for
them.
Quarterback Joe Ganz has
hobbled by an ankle injury in the
second quarter and a banged-up
knee in the third. Limping badly
up to the line of scrimmage, Ganz
rarely showed signs of injury once
the play started.
Joes the man, Pelini said.
Youd have to scrape him off the
field to get him out of there. He
would have fought me before he
would have let me take himout.
Pelini and Ganz each believe
they would win that fictional side-
line fight. Ganz even joked that
the other 113 players would help
himtake Pelini down in order for
himto stay in the game.
Thats the kind of postgame
fun you earn with a hard fought
victory. And some trickery.
Nebraska reached into its bag
of tricks for three atypical plays
and each one gained either a first
down or touchdown.
On their second drive of the
game, the Cornhuskers pushed
the ball downtothe four-yardline.
Once there, running back Marlon
Lucky took a direct snap, faked a
run with a hard step forward then
pulled up for a touchdown jump
pass to Mike McNeill.
The play sent the crowd into a
frenzy and its released hundreds
of red balloons in celebration.
In the fourth quarter, Kansas
cut its deficit to 31-28 with a nine
play, 80-yard drive. Nebraskas
response was big, to say the least.
Ganz drove down to Kansas
2-yard line, and in marched
300-pound defensive tackle
Ndamukong Suh. The Huskers
used Suh as a lead blocker for one
of Roy Helu Jr.s two touchdown
runs earlier, and it appeared he
would reprise the role.
After Helu gained no yards on
first down, however, Pelini called
the big mans number and he was
wide open for a touchdown recep-
tion. Suh said he was never wor-
ried about dropping the pass.
Everybody gives me a hard
time, but I think personally I have
good hands for a big guy, Suh
said.
The touchdown put a cherry
on his day, which also included
a career high in tackles (12) and
sacks (2.5).
The final trick came on
Nebraskas final scoring drive.
On fourth and eight, kicker
Alex Henerey lined up for a
37-yard field goal attempt. Instead
of kicking it he took a flip pass for
a nine-yard gain and a first down.
Henerey fumbled on the play but
recovered it. Five plays later Ganz
hit Nate Swift to make the score
45-28.
Kansas tried to come back but
the margin was too great.
Nebraskas defense hasnt prac-
ticed with its famed black shirts
all season and surrendering 422
yards and 35 points wont get
them back, but they did make a
few stifling plays.
Besides Suhs monster game,
defensive end Zach Potter also
came up big. On the first play
from scrimmage following Suhs
touchdown, Potter snared Todd
Reesings pass from the air for an
interception.
Last year Nebraska lost 76-39
in Lawrence, and Potter said it felt
good to end that trick.
We just wanted to come out
and try to regain some of that
respect that Kansas may have lost
for us as a program, Potter said.
Were still Nebraska and theyre
still Kansas.

REESING BANGED UP
Quarterback Todd Rees-
ing was under fre all game,
getting sacked fve times and
taking some brutal hits by
the Nebraska defense. He was
unable to talk to the media
after the game because he
was receiving treatment from
the teams medical staf but
coach Mark Mangino thought
Reesing would be fne.
Hopefully its nothing real
serious, Mangino said. I dont
think it is. I think hell be OK.
TRICKERY DOESNT
WORK
Trailing by three entering
the fourth quarter, Kansas had
a second down and one at
its own 32-yard line. Instead
of running Jake Sharp to get
the frst down, Kansas tried a
reverse to wide receiver Kerry
Meier. Meier was tackled for a
loss of seven yards and Kansas
had to punt after an incom-
plete pass on third down.
They caught us in a good
call, Mangino said. If that
linebacker doesnt come over
the top, their whole defense is
into the boundary and weve
got a big play. But credit to
him, he made a good football
play.
Alonzo Rojas punt went
for just 27 yards and Nebraska
running back Roy Helo Jr.
scored on a 52-yard run
on the next play to put the
Cornhuskers up by 10 and es-
sentially seal the game for NU.
COLD CONDITIONS
After practicing for most
of the week with sunny skies
and temperatures near 70
degrees, Kansas was treated
to a kickof temperature of
35 degrees on Saturday with
winds of more than 20 miles
per hour. The brutal condi-
tions didnt seemto afect
either teamor the 85,486 fans
who packed into Memorial
Stadiumfor the 296th con-
secutive sellout.
B.J. Rains
Nebraska quarterback Joe Ganz passed for 324
yards and three touchdowns and running back Roy
Helu Jr. had 115 yards and two touchdowns, including
a back-breaking 52-yard touchdown scamper early
through the fourth quarter that put Nebraska up by
10 points and sent many of the 85,000 freezing fans
into a frenzy.
After being tied 14-14 at halftime, the Kansas
defense struggled to even slow down the Nebraska
offense. The Cornhuskers scored on five of six second-
half possessions and led by as many as 17 in the fourth
quarter before a late Kansas score brought the final
margin to 10 points.
The things that we said we had to do today, we did
not do, coach Mark Mangino said. We said all week
that we had to stop their run, and we did not do that
effectively, at least not in key situations. We said that
we had to run the ball well, and we did not do that.
Their defensive line disrupted our run game.
The offensive line, which seemed to gel during
the Kansas State game, got manhandled up front by
the Cornhusker front four. Running back Jake Sharp
finished with 90 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries,
but had just 29 yards on 11 carries in the first half.
Their D-line was great they dominated our
O-line today, Briscoe said. You just gotta tell it like
it is.
The line struggled to protect quarterback Todd
Reesing, who was flushed from the pocket several
times and took a couple of brutal hits that kept him
from speaking with the media afterwards while he
received treatment from the medical staff.
Ive never seen him on the turf as much as he was
today, Briscoe said of Reesing. But theres a first time
for everything.
Kansas won the turnover battle 4-1 but couldnt take
advantage of the Cornhusker miscues. The Jayhawks
had a fourth down stop, a James Holt interception and
a fumble recovery all in the first half but werent
able to turn any of them into points.
You have to have takeaways to have a chance,
especially on the road, Mangino said. But at the end
of the day, when you have takeaways like that, you like
to think youre going to win the game.
The Jayhawks entered the fourth quarter down by
three points, but Reesing had completed just eight
passes on 14 attempts. Reesing finished 15-30 for 304
yards and three scores but was sacked five times and
had a costly interception in the fourth.
Kansas now sits in third place in the Big 12 North
standings and needs a miracle to reach the goal for
their season, the Big 12 North title. And with their title
hopes all but gone, Kansas now has two top-15 teams
awaiting on the schedule.
Were going to show up and play both of them,
Mangino said. And were going to play hard and see
what happens. Two good football teams, but were
good enough if we play well that we can stand with
anybody. Well be ready to go against Texas. Were
disappointed but not discouraged.

BY BERNIE WILSON
ASSOcIAtEd PRESS
SAN DIEGO This wasnt
about changing defensive coordi-
nators in midseason. It was about
making a play that quite possibly
saved the San Diego Chargers sea-
son.
Burned by a pass interference
call and then a touchdown catch
by star tight end Tony Gonzalez,
strong safety Clinton Hart swatted
away Tyler Thigpens 2-point con-
version pass intended for Gonzalez
with 23 seconds left to preserve the
Chargers 20-19 win over the lowly
but scrappy Kansas City Chiefs on
Sunday.
As the call happened, I said to
myself, I wasnt going to let him
score this 2-point conversion, Hart
said.
We knew they were going for
the win. Denver did it, and I guess
they figured they could do it. But
surprise, surprise, we stood up and
made a difference, Hart said.
Philip Rivers rallied them with
two touchdown passes late in the
game, then Hart saved them.
Thigpen moved the Chiefs (1-8)
to the Chargers 18 with 41 seconds
left. On a second-down pass, Hart
came from the side to knock a pass
away from Gonzalez and was called
for a questionable pass interference
penalty that gave the Chiefs a first-
and-goal at the 1. After an incom-
plete pass and a 2-yard loss by full-
back Mike Cox, Gonzalez caught a
3-yard touchdown pass to pull the
Chiefs within one. Hart and nickel
back Antoine Cason were covering
Gonzalez tightly.
Then came the big play. Hart
deflected Thigpens pass right to
Quentin Jammer, who made the
interception while on the ground.
Thigpen, who started the season
as the Chiefs third-string quarter-
back, outplayed Rivers in the first
two quarters. He finished off long
drives by throwing scoring passes
of 30 yards to Mark Bradley and 34
yards to Gonzalez.

teams have made the NCAA
Tournament in the last three years.
Francis is still confident. Hes
already scheduled practice for
Monday afternoon and told his
team to expect to play this week-
end.
If hes right, an entire roster
will get its first taste of the NCAA
Tournament. If hes wrong, well,
we all know how that scene
unfolds.
Edited by Ramsey Cox
Jon Goering/KANSAN
Junior guard and forward Danielle McCray takes a shot to the rimduring Sunday's game against Washburn. McCray recorded 16 points,
10 boards and six steals in the game.
Although Marcus Morris was
the chief offender, he wasnt the
only Jayhawk big man to get into
foul trouble. Both Markieff Morris
and sophomore center Cole Aldrich
recorded two fouls in the first half,
which prompted Self to use a small
lineup in the final two minutes
before halftime.
Markieff and Aldrich finished
with three fouls each. Senior center
Matt Kleinmann even added two
fouls in six minutes.
Self knows his team cant foul
that much if it wants to be success-
ful in the regular season. Aldrich
doesnt think it will be a problem
for the Jayhawks.
He attributed the foul trouble to
the fact that it was, after all, the first
game of the season.
Aldrich said it took awhile for
young players to get comfortable
with playing defense at the colle-
giate level. It requires making quick
decisions such as whether or not to
attempt to block a shot, according
to Aldrich.
Youve got to play smart and
say, Well, should I go after that shot
or just wall up and play strong?,
Aldrich said. Its kind of tough.
Self s relieved the problem
appeared in an exhibition game.
That way, it can be addressed
before the actual season.
His players agree.
Great thing that one didnt
count, Marcus said.
Neither does the next one,
though. Kansas finishes off its exhi-
bition slate against Emporia State
Tuesday night. Self expects Kansas
to begin to fix its foul problems in
the game against the Hornets.
Marcus Morris, meanwhile,
wants to make amends for his for-
gettable game against Washburn.
I know it probably doesnt seem
like I played hard just because of
my foul trouble, Marcus said. Im
going to play a lot harder, keep
my hands to myself and play dis-
ciplined.

eyes on the prize

Sophomore center Krysten
Boogaard hasnt been as consistent
as coach Bonnie Henrickson would
like.
Shes been on and off, and I cant
tell you that shes had two good days
back to back, Henrickson said.
Sunday was a good day for
Boogaard.
She had a double-double, scor-
ing 16 points and snagging 10
rebounds for the Jayhawks in a
67-51 victory against Washburn.
Shes our go-to player, junior
guard Sade Morris said. Its very
important for us to get her the ball,
because she can score so easily.
Morris aided Kansas, scoring
14 points with five assists in the
Jayhawks final exhibition game of
the season. The offensive play by
Morris and junior guard Danielle
McCray, who also scored 16 points
with 10 rebounds, was crucial for
Kansas as the team defeated a for-
midable Washburn team.
The Jayhawks inside play and
aggressive defense won them the
game in the second half as they made
several dramatic scoring runs.
The Jayhawks started off sloppy
with several early turnovers and
poor shot selection. After a nice
drive by junior guard LaChelda
Jacobs, however, the Jayhawks set-
tled down, converting on their next
few possessions.
Washburn battled back, trad-
ing baskets with Kansas and keep-
ing the game close. A turnover by
Krysten Boogaard gave the Lady
Blues three fast-break points to
take the lead 19-18 eight minutes
into the game.
Boogaard immediately redeemed
herself, converting on Kansas next
two possessions. Her four first-half
points sparked an 8-0 Kansas run,
making the score 26-19 with five
minutes left in the first half.
The Lady Blues responded,
though, with a 9-2 run to tie the
score 28-28 at the half.
Kansas came out strong in
the second half and captured the
momentum from the beginning,
scoring nine unanswered points to
make the score 37-28.
Washburn fought back to within
two points, but the Jayhawks stepped
up again, going on an exciting 17-2
run thanks to the aggressive defense
of senior guard Kelly Kohn and
solid inside play by Boogaard.
I think Kelly really came in
on the defensive end and kind of
sparked the defense, Boogaard
said. She got a lot of steals and a
lot of deflections.
The score was 60-43 with four
and a half minutes left in the game
and the Jayhawks sailed to a 2-0
preseason record with a final score
of 67-51.
Henrickson said the games
back-and-forth momentum kept
her on the edge of her seat.
Its tied, and then we make a
run and they come back, she said.
I was disappointed that we didnt
get the lead to 20.
Kansas opens regular season
play at 7 p.m. Friday against Sacred
Heart.
We have our eye on the prize of
getting to the NCAA Tournament,
Morris said. We have to take
every game one at a time, and even
though its a long season, we just
have to stay together and play as
a team.

SAN ANTONIO In the
days leading up to the Big 12
Tournament, coach Mark Francis
asked his team who wanted the
ball if the game came down to
penalty kicks.
On Friday night, tied 1-1 with
No. 20 Missouri and with spot kicks
looming, Francis asked again. He
wanted to be sure nobodys nerves
had gotten the best of them.
If they dont want to take one,
then you dont want them taking
one, Francis said. A lot of it just
comes down to confidence.
In the end, it came down to a
mixture of confidence, skill and
pure luck as Missouri converted
four attempts from the penalty
spot to Kansas three, advancing
to yesterdays Big 12 final against
Colorado and forcing Francis
team to wait until tonight to learn
its NCAA Tournament fate.
The Jayhawks (12-7-2) took
an early advantage when senior
goalkeeper Stephanie Baugh, sub-
stituted specifically for the shoo-
tout, got a hand on the Tigers
first attempt to push it past the
post. But Missouri converted its
next four attempts, and sopho-
more midfielder Sarah Salazar and
junior goalkeeper Julie Hanley
each had their shots saved to pre-
vent Kansas from playing in its
first Big 12 Tournament final.
It always sucks losing in penal-
ty kicks because, as coach said, its
a lottery when you are up there,
junior Monica Dolinsky said. You
have to be brave to take a kick. You
dont blame anyone so we just have
to go from here.
The result goes down as a tie
rather than a loss, which could
benefit the Jayhawks when the
64-team NCAA Tournament field
is announced tonight at 7 p.m.
on ESPNews. Kansas is 40th in
RPI in the latest national rankings
and has played 10 ranked teams
this season, finishing with a 4-5-1
record.
Ill be very surprised if we
dont get in the tournament, very
surprised, Francis said. It would
a travesty if we dont.
A bit of luck followed by a
piece of spectacular skill from
Dolinsky gave Kansas the lead in
the seventh minute. Junior for-
ward Shannon McCabe chipped a
cross into the middle of the box,
and Missouris poor clearance fell
to Dolinsky, who settled under
pressure and pulled the trigger
from 18 yards. Her shot found the
top-right corner, dipping under
the crossbar and just past the
outstretched arms of goalkeeper
Tasha Dittamore.
The goal gave Dolinsky 27
points on the year, tied for the
fourth-highest total in program
history.
Kansas nearly added a second
when Dolinsky and freshman
forward Kortney Clifton caught
Missouris defense off guard with
some dead-ball trickery. With the
ball spotted 28 yards from the
goal, Dolinsky feigned a shot and
laid the ball off to Clifton, who
was running free past the wall.
The Wichita native took one touch
but ripped a shot directly into the
hands of Dittamore.
The Tigers had a goal disal-
lowed for goalkeeper interference
in the first half while outshooting
the Jayhawks 5-4, though Francis
team had better opportunities.
Neither team created many
scoring opportunities in the sec-
ond half until the 65th minute,
when the Tigers came within inch-
es of tying the game. Midfielder
Mo Redmond whipped a corner
kick into the penalty area where
midfielder Meghan Pfeiffer flicked
a header toward the back post.
Luckily for the Jayhawks, Dolinsky
was positioned perfectly and head-
ed the ball off the line to safety.
For the remainder of the half,
the ball spent most of the time in
Kansas side of the field as Missouri
did its best to climb back into the
contest. The Tigers aerial ability
burned the Jayhawks in the 71st
minute when a free kick opportu-
nity tied the game at one.
This time there was no Dolinsky
to clear the ball off the line as
Pfeiffer rose above the defense to
loop a header over Hanley.
When the ball gets played in
the box, you have to challenge for
it, Francis said. Sometimes you
win it and sometimes you dont.
They got on the end of a few. It was
a good header.
The Jayhawks registered just
one shot in the second half and
were fortunate to force overtime
as their opponent took 15 second-
half shots.
Today, to be honest, was kind
of an ugly game, Francis said.
There wasnt a whole lot of soc-
cer played. It was more of a battle.
Missouri is a very tough team to
play, and you have to come ready
for the fight.

Kansas will find out whether
its season merits an NCAA
Tournament at-large berth
tonight when the 64-team field is
announced.
The Jayhawks finished the
season 12-7-2 (5-5-2) after a 5-1
start catapulted them into the
national rankings. Kansas hasnt
made the NCAA Tournament
since 2004, narrowly missing out
on postseason play in 2005 and
2006.
Coach Mark Francis said he is
extremely confident the selection
committee will award his team an
at-large berth after a season in
which the Jayhawks played 10 Top
25 teams in 21 games.
I told the girls, Expect to play
next week, Francis said following
Fridays loss to Missouri. We are
going forward like we are playing
because I really think we will be.
Kansas checked in at 40th in the
latest RPI rankings, which should
improve considering it beat No.
11 Texas A&M and tied No. 20
Missouri last week in the Big 12
Tournament.
Practice is already scheduled
for Monday as Francis anticipated
being chosen as one of up to six Big
12 representatives when the field is
announced on ESPNews at 7 p.m.
The team will watch the selection
show together.
It will be pretty interesting how
we handle it, Dolinsky said of
waiting to see if her season will
continue. We are just going to stay
positive.
