Foreign students find homes off campus

BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com When international students arrive at the University, they have to adjust to new food, new friends and new living arrangements. The majority are choosing to do so off campus. This year only 30 percent of the 1,740 international students chose on-campus housing. Prasath Ramani, Klang, Malaysia, junior, lives on campus at Jayhawker Towers. He said he would probably move off campus in the summer because it was difficult to rely on campus buses and the food didnt fit his vegetarian diet. Still, he said he would recommend on-campus living to any new international student coming to the University. Im proud of KU, and I would definitely say living on campus is the best place for international students, Ramani said. Except the food. I cant recommend eating on campus. The University recommends international students consider one of 23 on-campus housing opportunities. The towers house 157 of the 538 international students who live on campus. The eight residence halls house 178 international students, and 48 live in the scholarship halls. The remainder live in other campus housing such as Stouffer Place.

University students grapple with the positives and negatives of long-distance relationships
BY MICOLE ARONOWITZ
maronowitz@kansan.com In March, for the first time in four months, Amanda Huddleston will be able to hug her boyfriend. Huddleston, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, is in a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend, Ali Bazzi. He is currently in Baumholder, Germany and will soon be deployed to Iraq. Huddleston and Bazzi dated for five months despite knowing Bazzi would soon be deployed again. I knew it was a possibility, Huddleston said. I dont think its a reason not to give it a shot. According to an article published in the 2007 Journal of Social Psychology, one third of all dating relationships among university students are long distance. Tamara Mikinski, licensed psychologist and lecturer in the department of psychology and research in education, said the success or failure of long-distance relationships depended on the needs of the couple and of the individuals. I actually think its not a negative thing, Mikinski said. Its great for people to pursue their individual goals. Huddleston said she and her boyfriend usually talked to each other two or three times each day. Its hard, especially because we are on a seven-hour time difference, Huddleston said. Its difficult to find a time when it works for both of us to talk on the phone. Its kind of awkward because it is early morning for me and late night for him. To avoid missing phone calls, she said, Bazzi texted her with good times to call. Its something I had to get used to, Huddleston said. I couldnt just call him whenever I wanted. Before Bazzi leaves for Iraq he will each other all the time. Mikinski said relationships where have to deactivate his cell phone so that he cannot be traced. Huddleston one person was put in dangerous situsaid she would be able to talk to him ations had a unique set of stressors. When the person is gone, they are on the computer.

Competition seeks illustrators

The winner will receive $2,500 and design traditional Japanese style artwork for novel
BY ALEXANDRA GARRY
agarry@kansan.com Students have the opportunity to win $2,500 and a contract to illustrate and design a graphic novel targeted at middle-school aged children through a competition sponsored by the Center for East Asian Studies. The contract is for The Fastest Pig Goes to China, a book written by Randi Hacker, outreach coordinator for the center. Students interested in manga illustration, a traditional Japanese style of print drawing, can submit work for the competition throughout the month of February. A panel that will include the books author and the program director will choose the winner in March. Bill Tsutsi, associate dean for international studies and director of the book project, said he opened the illustration and design contest for students to get any and all students as involved as possible in the study of East Asian culture. He described the competition as a great opportunity for a student interested in getting his or her artwork published. Manga is a hobby for Maylene Morgan, Wichita senior, and she said she was interested in submitting for the competition. She said that the task of illustrating and designing an entire book was a little daunting, but that it would be an exciting opportunity. Michiko Ito, Japanese studies li-

MOSCOW The interim leader of the Russian Orthodox Church was overwhelmingly elected patriarch Tuesday. Metropolitan Kirill received 508 of the 700 votes cast during an all-day church congress in Moscows ornate Christ the Savior Cathedral, the head of the commission responsible for the election, Metropolitan Isidor, said. Kirill, 62, will be installed Sunday as the successor to Moscow Patriarch Alexy II, who had headed Russias dominant church since 1990. Alexy II died Dec. 5, at age 79. In Russia, Kirill is seen as a politically savvy figure who may seek a more muscular role for the church, which has served the state for much of its 1,000-year history.

4. Meatpacking employee faces child labor charges

DES MOINES, Iowa Nearly a thousand new charges have been filed in the states prosecution of alleged child labor violations at a kosher meatpacking plant in northeast Iowa. The 954 new charges were filed Jan. 16 against Jeffrey Heasley, a beef production supervisor at the Agriprocessors Inc. plant in Postville. They include alleged child labor violations of employing minors in a meatpacking establishment and for exposing minors to dangerous or poisonous chemicals. Last September, the Iowa attorney generals office filed more than 9,000 charges against the plant, its owners and managers. Heasley was not one of the managers charged at that time. One affidavit in the case says that children were exposed to dry ice and chlorine solutions and that children were operating conveyor belts, meat grinders, circular saws, power washers and power shears.

3. Japan may be allowed to hunt whales in Australia

2. Archaeologists discover bust outside old city

JERUSALEM An 1,800-yearold figurine believed to have originated from the eastern stretches of the Roman Empire has been discovered by archaeologists outside the walls of the old city, the Israeli Antiquities Authority said. The 2-inch (5-centimeter) marble bust depicts the head of a man with a short curly beard and almond-shaped eyes who may portray a boxer, the authority said.

CANBERRA, Australia The International Whaling Commission may ease its ban on commercial whaling to allow Japan to hunt whales off its coast in return for killing fewer whales in the Antarctic, officials said Tuesday. Japan would be allowed to conduct commercial whaling in local waters in exchange for reducing the number of whales it kills in the Antarctic for scientific research. The proposal, first reported in The Washington Post on Sunday, did not specify how many whales Japan would be allowed to kill. Opponents say the Japanese research expeditions are a cover for commercial whaling, since the whale meat is sold on the market. The chairman of the IWC, William Hogarth, told the AP that the U.S. feels the ban on commercial whaling should stay in place. But he said the number of killed whales has been increasing, and the plan is an attempt to reduce the kill. The other two whaling countries are Norway and Iceland, which chose not to abide by the ban as allowed by IWC rules. Australia responded to the plan Tuesday by ruling out ever supporting commercial whaling. New Zealand said it wanted to see the final details of the plan.

The ordinance prohibits smoking in all areas of a building that the public or employees would be expected to occupy. It includes lobbies, hallways and break rooms, all city-owned buildings and vehicles, all vehicles used for public transportation, all restaurants, bars, bingo parlors and bowling alleys, all private clubs and the area within 10 feet of a buildings primary entrance.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Tree limbs snapped with a sound like gunshots, blacking out thousands of homes and businesses, and schools and government offices were closed Tuesday as a major storm spread a glaze of ice and snow from the southern Plains to the East Coast. Since the storm began building on Monday, the weather had been blamed for three deaths in Arkansas, three in Oklahoma, two in Missouri and one in Texas. The National Weather Service posted ice storm and winter storm warnings Tuesday. Broken tree limbs weighted down by ice crashed onto power lines, cutting service to at least 85,000 homes and businesses in hard-hit Arkansas, utilities said. About 6,000 customers were blacked out in Oklahoma. Up to 15 inches of snow was forecast Wednesday in New Hampshire. Associated Press

She says managers always denied there were any openings even though other employees said there were. Her lawsuit says one manager told her her Latin accent would ruin his business. She says another told her You dont speak white. Morales says she was born in New York to Dominican and Puerto Rican parents. And she says she looks good in a bikini. Representatives of the restaurant didnt immediately respond to calls seeking comment Tuesday.

Gaza violence flares again

Roadside bomb kills Israeli soldier, Israel responds with airstrike
By JOSEF FEDERMAN
Associated Press JERUSALEM A Palestinian roadside bomb killed an Israeli soldier patrolling the border with Gaza on Tuesday, and Israel responded with an airstrike that wounded a Hamas militant in a flare-up of violence that undermined a cease-fire on the eve of a visit by the new U.S. Mideast envoy. Israel briefly sent tanks and bulldozers across the border into Gaza after its soldier was killed and three others were wounded in the bombing. Hamas said the Israeli airstrike wounded one of its militants as he rode a motorcycle in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis. It was the worst bloodshed since the sides declared the ceasefire on Jan. 18 to end a three-week Israeli offensive. Since withdrawing its troops, Israel has threatened to retaliate for any violations of the informal truce. We will respond, but there is no point in elaborating, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said during a trip to a military base in southern Israel. Later, he convened an emergency meeting of top security officials. He spoke with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert after the meeting, but no details were released. Olmert later hinted that a much tougher response could soon follow, telling a gathering of senior civil servants that Israel is not bound by any formal cease-fire with Hamas. Israels response has yet to come, he said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing, but Ramattan, a Palestinian news agency, later released a video of the roadside bombing allegedly filmed by militants it did not identify. The video showed a large explo-

Unidentified neighbors react to the news of a man as yet not identified who, apparently upset about his job situation, killed his wife and five children before committing suicide in a nearby two-story tract home in Wilmington, Calif., on Tuesday. Wilmington, about 18 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, is a 10-square-mile community adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles.

Israeli soldiers wait in a staging area near Israels border with the Gaza Strip, in southern Israel, on Tuesday. Palestinian militants detonated a bomb next to an Israeli patrol along the border with Gaza, killing one soldier and wounding three others.
sion next to a jeep moving on the Israeli side of the border fence. A huge plume of smoke emerges as the jeep stops. Two Israeli soldiers are then seen running toward the jeep, and gunfire is directed at them before a secondary blast hits them, too. Mushir al-Masri, a Hamas lawmaker, said Israel was to blame for continuing to fire into Gaza. Al-Masri said his group had not agreed to a full cease-fire but only to a lull in fighting. The Zionists are responsible for any aggression, he said. After Tuesdays blast, heavy gunfire was heard along the border in central Gaza, and hovering Israeli helicopters fired machine gun bursts, Palestinian witnesses said. An Israeli jet set off a loud sonic boom over Gaza City not long afterward, possibly as a warning. Palestinian residents said Israeli tanks and bulldozers also entered the area where the roadside bombing took place and were tearing up some vacant land apparently to prevent it from being used to stage attacks. Not long after the bombing, a 27-year-old Gaza farmer was killed by Israeli gunfire along the border several miles away, Palestinian medical officials said. The military had no comment, and it was unclear if the two incidents were related. The violence cast a shadow over the arrival of George Mitchell, President Barack Obamas special Mideast envoy. Mitchell arrived in Egypt on Tuesday and was set to visit Israel on Wednesday for three days of talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders on how to get stalled peace efforts back on track. Mitchell is expected to meet Olmert, top security officials, and the pro-Western Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas. Mitchell has no plans to meet with Hamas, which the U.S., Israel and European Union consider a terrorist group. Hamas seized Gaza from forces loyal to Abbas in June 2007. Hamas control of Gaza, and its refusal to recognize Israels right to exist, are considered major obstacles to peace efforts.

The compensation we have requested from Sunflower Broadband is a small fraction of the fee it charges its subscribers and is well below what cable companies like Sunflower pay for other, less popular programming, Godsey said. Godsey said the offer made to Sunflower represented a per-subscriber rate identical to offers it made to other cable providers. If we were to make a more favorable deal with them, Godsey said, imagine the problems it would create with other companies. Kutemeier and Godsey agreed they were looking forward to reaching an agreement and getting the two stations back into Sunflower Broadbands lineup. In the meantime, customers can continue to view ABC programming on the Topeka affiliate KTKA channel 12. Both KCWE and KMBC are still available to DirecTV and Dish Network subscribers as well. I just dont understand why they havent gotten it fixed yet, or sent out a letter to customers or anything, Leider said. Its really frustrating. Edited by Chris Horn

SeAttLe Americas biggest charitable foundations are stepping up their giving to help during the recession, according to a group that studies institutional giving. As of mid-January, 50 of the nations largest foundations had committed more than $100 million in grants aimed at reducing foreclosures, keeping food bank shelves stocked and providing services to the homeless and financial counseling for others. the donations are also just one aspect of the way foundations are responding to the economic downturn, said Steven Lawrence, the Foundation Centers senior director of research and author of a report on emergency giving in response to the economic downturn. Foundations have seen their assets drop dramatically, but many are committing to keeping their giving steady, increasing amounts beyond the 5 percent of assets required by the internal revenue Service, to keep their promises to the causes they support. the nations largest foundation, the bill & melinda Gates Foundation, announced this week it would increase its giving from 5 percent to 7 percent of its assets in 2009, despite a 20 percent drop in the value of its assets. the last economic downturn hit large foundations more dramatically because it followed years of tremendous asset growth and big long-term financial commitments that were hard to meet, Lawrence said. my armchair expectation is that while this crisis may be more severe, he said, foundations made adjustments in their practices to be better able to respond.

Obama seeks GOP support

ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON On the eve of a key vote, President Barack Obama privately promised Republican critics he stands ready to accept changes in $825 billion economic stimulus legislation, and urged lawmakers to put politics aside in the interest of creating badly needed jobs. The American people expect action, Obama said Tuesday as he shuttled between closed-door meetings with House and Senate Republicans on a trip to the Capitol that blended substance with political symbolism. Republicans who attended the sessions said the president did not agree to any specific changes but did pledge to have his aides consider some that GOP lawmakers raised dealing with additional tax relief for businesses. Prodded to budge on another point, Obama said that despite Republican opposition, he will insist on giving relief to wage-earners who pay Social Security taxes but do not earn enough to owe income tax. In a measure of the complicated political dynamic in Congress, one Republican quoted the president as saying any changes would have to come after the House gives what is expected to be largely party-line approval Wednesday to the Democratic-backed bill. The measure includes about $550 billion in spending and roughly $275 billion in tax cuts. The Senate shows signs of greater bipartisanship. That bipartisanship includes a decision in the Finance Committee on Tuesday to add a new tax break for upper middle-income taxpayers, at a two-year cost of $70 billion. It was advanced by Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the panels senior Republican. Democratic leaders in both houses have promised to have legislation ready for Obamas signature by mid-February, and Tuesdays developments coin-

Blagojevich skips impeachment trial

By CHRISTOPHER WILLS
Associated Press SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich was hundreds of miles away but his voice boomed through the Illinois Senates chambers Tuesday as his impeachment jurors listened to FBI wiretaps of conversations in which he seems to demand campaign contributions in exchange for signing legislation. One person on the recordings assures Blagojevich that a horseracing track owner is good for it and just has to decide what accounts to get it out of. Another assures him the owner knows he must keep his commitment soon. Blagojevich replies with comments like good and good job. Legislation sought by the racing industry had been sent to the governors desk, and on the tapes, he says to reassure a racing lobbyist he hopes to do this so we can get together and start picking some dates to do a bill-signing. Senators conducting the trial, which Blagojevich is boycotting though it could remove him from office within days, listened intently as the fuzzy, indistinct conversations echoed through the room the heating system, reporters typing on laptops and the occasional cough accounting for the only other noise. Neither the governor nor the others on the call the governors brother and chief fundraiser Robert Blagojevich and former chief of staff Lon Monk, officials say specifically mentions money or any amounts. The governor was arrested last month on a variety of corruption charges, including scheming to benefit from appointing President Barack Obamas U.S. Senate replacement and demanding campaign contributions in exchange for state services. He denies any wrongdoing.

Writer John updike dies of cancer at 76 in new York

NEW YORK John Updike, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, prolific man of letters and erudite chronicler of sex, divorce and other adventures in the postwar prime of the American empire, died Tuesday at age 76. Updike, best known for his four Rabbit novels, died of lung cancer at a hospice near his

home in Beverly Farms, Mass., according to his longtime publisher, Alfred A. Knopf. A literary writer who frequently appeared on best-seller lists, the tall, hawk-nosed Updike wrote novels, short stories, poems, criticism, the memoir Self-Consciousness and even a famous essay about baseball great Ted Williams. He released more than 50 books in a career that started in the 1950s, winning virtually

every literary prize, including two Pulitzers, for Rabbit Is Rich and Rabbit at Rest, and two National Book Awards. Author Joyce Carol Oates, a friend of Updike, said there was a luminosity in Johns style that was just extraordinary. He also had a wonderful, warm, sympathetic sense of humor which people didnt always notice.

NEW YORK Gabriela Montero says she and the other members of the Obama inauguration quartet were not trying to fool anybody by having recorded music played in the biting cold. Shaken by comparisons to lip-syncers Milli Vanilli, the pianist insists she and fellow musicians Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman and Anthony McGill did the right thing. What is upsetting me these days is the fact that we put so much love into this, with a very profound desire to make it so beautiful, the VenezuelanAmerican pianist said Tuesday in a telephone interview from Boston. My only regret is that, unfortunately, some people have chosen to focus on the wrong thing.

Pianist says inauguration quartet did right thing

Music

Just before Obama was sworn in on Jan. 20 with temperatures in the 20s, the quartet appeared to play Air and Simple Gifts, a short work composed for the occasion by John Williams. Montero said the quartet actually did play, but the music was drowned out by the amplified music. The group recorded the work two days earlier but still intended to play it live, she said. A day before the inauguration, about half a dozen keys on the Steinway were sticking, and the piano was not projecting enough sound, Montero said. We decided that it would have been a disaster if we went out there with that cold, with the wind, and played our instruments out of tune, she said. Can you imagine what kind of tone it would have set? ... It would absolutely have been a pathetic way to lead a president into his oath and the moment that this country was waiting for so eagerly.

In Rome: A rainy day tennis blog

mdent@kansan.com ROME The rain here falls in sprinkles, one right after the next, all day. Never in sheets, never in a downpour. Its always a slow, steady stream of sprinkles. Having been in Rome for more than a week and seen this type of rain every other day, Im starting to get annoyed by it. Its making me want to curl up in my bed and listen to Coldplay, Taylor Swift ballads and that one R.E.M. song where Michael Stipe continuously sings, Ill take the rain. But on the positive side, the rain is making me think about tennis. Really. The rain brings thoughts of Melbourne and the Australian Open, of the land of Oz, where the sun shines as bright as the yellow balls being swatted back and forth at Rod Laver arena. Rain seems not to exist there. Wimbledon has the strawberries and cream, the manicured lawns, the old-school tradition and celebrity sightings that even included Common and Jay-Z last year. The French Open has the messy red dirt, points that last for minutes and clothing from Fabrice Santoro thats so flamboyant Prince would think twice before wearing it. The U.S. Open is primetime in the good ol USA, a fitting end to the season in one of the few American cities that still cares about tennis. Still, the Australian Open is more special than any of those Slams. Maybe its because the Aussie is the first Grand Slam of the year, the first opportunity to see whether breakout players from the previous summer can build and whether the established stars can continue their reign at the top. Or maybe its the fans. Australians love their tennis. But really, it comes down to the sun and the heat. Theres nothing like it at Roland Garros, Flushing Meadows or Wimbledon. Australia seems like another planet in January. One night two years ago I woke up at 2:30 a.m. to watch James Blake lose to Fernando Gonzalez in the round of 16. Snow fell, three blankets couldnt warm up my toes, and the sun wouldnt rise above the

At the end of the meeting, one of the group members reviewed each of our assignments. So, Steve, youll be working on Powerpoint. And, um... She looked at me for a second, then said, You can write a group analysis. This is a typical scene when I work on group projects with my classmates at the University. Usually people dont get my name when they hear it for the first time. They often refer to me as you or she, instead of calling me Sachiko. Sachiko is a Japanese name. Because of the way it is spelled, many Americans mispronounce my name. Sasha, Sashimi, Sushi some people have called me completely different names. They were not joking.

have asked my origin or the meaning of my name, which is child of happiness. Another professor asked how to pronounce my name ten times. Not Sah-shee-ko. Its Sah-cheeko, I corrected her. No matter how many times I told her, she couldnt get it right. I learned it was hard for some people to pronounce my name and became more tolerant about the ways Americans pronounce it. I dont mind that people cannot pronounce my name or remember my name at once. If it is an obvious mistake, I can correct it. I even appreciate people asking my name many times and trying to learn. I feel sorry, however, when I notice people avoiding calling me

horizon for another four hours, if it ever escaped from behind the clouds that day. Not on the TV screen. The setting Australian sun covered half of the blue acrylic surface, while the temperature still hovered in the 90s. Those elements create some of the most compelling tennis every year. You have to be in top shape by January. If youre not, ask Novak Djokovic what happens. He withdrew from his match against Andy Roddick Tuesday in temperatures that reached up to 136 degrees on the court. With the sun and heat, each match becomes a test of endurance. Back in 2000, Andre Agassi finally got past Pete Sampras in a major largely because Sampras withered in the fifth set. Classic matches become even more impressive, like the one in 2003 when Roddick played a two hour fifth set against Younes El Aynaoui before Roddick finally won 21-19. They did all that in a stuffy night match. This year, Ive missed almost all the action. Rome isnt big on tennis until the Italian Open comes to town in late April. The only match Ive seen was Rafael Nadal against Tommy Haas on Saturday afternoon, another rainy Roman day. Ive missed Fernando Verdasco fool the favorite, Andy Murray, with a variety of mind-boggling angles and spin shots from his left hand. Ive missed Roddick put together his best showing in a Grand Slam since the 2006 U.S. Open. Ive missed Jelena Dokic rise from the ashes in her home country. And Ive missed the Melbourne sun the most. The clouds are supposed to disappear in Rome tomorrow, but for now, Ill have to take the rain.

Mr. Kenny was correct with regard to the conclusions reached by Mr. Rousseau and Mr. Marx. Mr. Kenny failed to mention that the economic system based on their conclusions was a spectacular failure, one that required secret police, purges, and mass killings to keep the beneficiaries of that system in line. Mr. Kenny appeared to advocate that our current economic system, based generally on property rights and capitalism, should be overthrown in favor of the ideas of Rousseau and Marx. If this were not horribly sad, it would be humorous.

resident Barack Obama, take note: If youre truly interested in uniting this nation, it seems theres nothing that brings political factions together like a good old-fashioned anti-pornography law. Take, for example, the Child Online Protection Act, or COPA. It was originally passed through Congress with bipartisan support in 1998 and enthusiastically signed into law by Democratic President Bill Clinton, and later championed by George W. Bush. The goal of the law was the protection of the physical and psychological well-being of minors by shielding them from online materials that are harmful to them. The day after the law was enacted, Internet pornographers,

Web users and the American Civil Liberties Union, filed suit in federal court and were awarded a federal injunction prohibiting the government from enforcing the law. Essentially, the ACLU argued that the bill would throw such fear into law-abiding porn-peddlers that they would either self-censor their content or avoid the smutty quagmire altogether, resulting in less speech and, the argument alleged, a constitutional violation. The court decided that the law could not stand. It violated the First Amendment. The law lost, but it didnt go down without a fight. Ten years later, the Court of Appeals again found the law unconstitutional. It determined that there was simply no way to interpret the law without somehow infringing upon the First Amendment rights of consenting adults. So the law had

to fail. The only chance left was an appeal to the Supreme Court, and on Jan. 21, the nations high court declined to hear the case without comment. COPA is now dead. After 10 years and three presidents, the law is finally kaput. The courts have decided that the U.S. Congress cannot pass a law that forces Internet pornographers to ensure that those using their services are old enough to do so legally, because such a law would violate the freedom of speech enshrined in the Bill of Rights. A couple hundred years before Playboy, our nations founders determined that speech would be sacred in this country. Perhaps they feared that a government that can suppress unpopular speech for one reason might eventually suppress unfavorable speech for another. UWire

The Fastest Pig Goes to China is a sequel to 2007s The Fastest Pig in the West. Hacker said the goal of writing and distributing the books was to get Kansas students interested in other cultures, especially those of China.

The two books feature a Kansasborn character inspired by Hackers 13-year-old daughter. Hacker said she decided to make the second book a manga graphic novel rather than a chapter book because she thought manga would appeal to her target audience. Dee Hogan, Leavenworth junior and president of the KU Anime Club, said manga appealed to many different audiences because it was about telling stories. Its a different medium to American movies or books, but it does the same thing tells good stories, Hogan said.

Diana Robertson, director of the Department of Student Housing, said her department, along with International Student Services, was committed to helping international students feel more at home. Ramani said the best aspect of campus living for international students was forming relationships with the people around them. He said he enjoyed getting to know new people while living in McCollum Hall last year. Another advantage to living in McCollum and Jayhawker Towers is that the buildings remain open during academic breaks. Robertson said the residences were popular with international students because the students usually stayed in Lawrence. Esterenia Armanto, Jakarta, Indonesia, sophomore, moved to the towers this year and said her favorite part of living there was having a kitchen to cook food from her home country. She said the drawback was that making friends could be especially hard because most international students were insecure about speaking English and stayed in their rooms. I remember the first time I rode a bus here and just looked at all the stops and buildings, Armanto said. My English was terrible, and I think everyone just thought I was stupid. The majority of international students request to live with American students to improve their English, but Robertson said limited space sometimes made it difficult to meet their preferences. Still, Robertson said the campus provided plenty of opportunities for international students to improve their language skills. Ramani, who spoke English in Malaysia, said talking with other students was hard at first because of his accent. But he said that by becoming active in Lambda Phi Epsilon, the national AsianAmerican fraternity, he finally started feeling at home. Ramani is now the fraternitys vice president and said he has met people from the entire KU community. Its a process that teaches you something, Ramani said. Its a really good thing. Armanto is a member of Student Union Activities. She said getting involved on campus was the first step she took in adjusting to the University. Joining SUA really helped me a lot, Armanto said. I became more brave and was able to get out of my comfort zone, do new things and make new friends. Edited by Andrew Wiebe

Two of the newborns the second live octuplets born in U.S. history were initially put on ventilators but were later removed. The mother checked into the hospital in her 23rd week

Aldrich towers over Huskers

6-foot-11 centers size will likely play a role in tonights game at Nebraska
By cASe KeeFer
ckeefer@kansan.com Sophomore center Cole Aldrich stands at least three inches taller than every Nebraska player who has appeared in a game this season. The 6-foot-11 Aldrich averages nearly 10 rebounds per game, putting him second in the Big 12 Conference. Nebraska has no one in the top 20. Every Cornhusker averages fewer than five rebounds per game. This sounds like a mismatch. Tonights game against Nebraska at 6:30 in Lincolns Devaney Center could be the perfect opportunity for Aldrich to compile a career night against an undersized front court. Aldrich doesnt think that way. In fact, he said he didnt look forward to playing against teams without a traditional center. I usually like another big guy, Aldrich said. Its a little more fun for me, just for the fact that Ive got another big guy I can bang with. But whatever teams have, youve got to deal with it. Nebraska has guards. A lot of them. Out of the Cornhuskers eight rotation players, only one is listed as a forward. The other seven players are guards at an average height of 6-foot-2. But they are spunky and efficient. The Cornhuskers compensate for their weak rebounding numbers by ranking first in the Big 12 in scoring defense theyre allowing only 57 points per game and second in steals with nine per game. The Nebraska guards wont be able to push Aldrich around in the post, but theyll try to pester him into committing turnovers and

Kansas 35-game home streak is now the longest in college basketball. But is that honor perhaps more dubious than it initially sounds? The evidence seems to say so. Since dropping its streak, BYU has lost two more games, including another home defeat. Tennessee has fared worse. Since Gonzaga won in Knoxville,Tenn., the Volunteers have dropped two more home games. They first fell victim to Jodie Meeks 54-point explosion, then lost a heartbreaker to rival Memphis by only two points. And it now seems entirely likely that Notre Dames home luck has run out. On Monday, Marquette dealt the Irish their second consecutive loss in South Bend, Ind. Kansas can avoid its first home court loss if it maintains its outstanding form at home. And what a home it is. Make no mistake about it: Allen Fieldhouse is an amazing place. Unlike so many of the generic monoliths littering campuses nationwide, the venerable building has a distinct personality. The banners, the retired jerseys, the students and even the opening video package: All are unmistakable pieces of Allen Fieldhouses mystique. And more importantly, all combine to craft an intimidating atmosphere that few opposing teams can overcome. But no venue wins games by itself. For that, the players have to be pretty good. During the course of those 35 games, Kansas hasnt had a problem in that department. Even though this years team doesnt have the same talent that last seasons squad did, the dropoff hasnt been as precipitous as some had anticipated. Its also important to note that Kansas remaining home schedule isnt terribly threatening. Its Big 12 North-heavy schedule bodes well for Kansas conference title hopes. It also puts the Jayhawks in position to be definitive favorites in all but one home game for the remainder of the season. Only Texas will be expected to offer a genuine challenge in Allen Fieldhouse. And, thankfully for the young Jayhawks, the Longhorns wont visit until March 7. By that time, Mario Little should be 100 percent and Kansas youth will no longer be a viable excuse. But first things first. Colorado is the next home opponent this Saturday. And if the Buffaloes last meeting with the Jayhawks is any indication, 35 straight home wins should become 36. Edited by Grant Treaster

Team eagerly awaits Morris return

QUOTE OF ThE DAy

What I have come to realize in my career is that so much of a teams success is about relationships and chemistry.
Kurt Warner, who will play in his third Super Bowl on Sunday

Not too late to reward soccer team I

t may be exactly 73 days since Kansas soccer played its last game of 2008, but that doesnt mean its too late to drop some Kansan hardware on KUs top performers. After three consecutive seasons without a trip to the NCAA Tournament, the Jayhawks battled their way into the field of 64 with inspired play down the stretch, including two victories against national power Texas A&M. Kansas advanced to the second round with a 2-1 victory against Denver but couldnt keep up with No. 1 Stanford, losing 5-0. So without further ado, here are the Kansans first soccer awards. Offensive player: Junior midfielder Monica Dolinsky Runner up: Junior forward Shannon McCabe Dolinsky was the unquestioned offensive fulcrum for the Jayhawks. She was tied for the team lead with nine goals and led Kansas with 10 assists, finishing fourth Dolinsky in the Big 12 with 28 points. McCabe saved her best form for the end of the season, scoring nine goals and adding five assists. Her miracle goal against Texas A&M in a 1-0 victory in Lawrence helped turn Kansas season around. will have to find some way to cope with the physical nature of the college game as she progresses.

Q: How many professional

football rosters has Kurt Warner been on?

A: Six. Green Bay Packers (1994), Iowa Barnstormers (1995-1997), Amsterdam Admirals (1998), St. Louis Rams (1998-2003), New York Giants (2004) and Arizona Cardinals (2005-present). Warner went to Packers training camp after graduating the University of Northern Iowa but was cut before the season began.

She started all 23 games and played 200 more minutes than the next closest Jayhawk. Jackson was a constant offensive Johnson threat on the right flank and used blazing speed to make up ground on the defensive end.

Third Tour of Missouri will run from St. Louis to KC

cycling

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Riders will reverse course for the third Tour of Missouri this September, with the world-class cycling event starting in St. Louis and ending in Kansas City. The first two events began in

Kansas City and worked their way east. The 600-mile route for the third annual race, which runs from Sept. 7-13, will start with a circuit race in St. Louis. That will be followed by three road stages from Ste. Genevieve to Cape Girardeau, Farmington to Rolla and St. James to Jefferson City. After a time trial in Sedalia, the race will finish with a stage

from Chillicothe to St. Joseph and a final circuit race in Kansas City. The cities were picked from 32 that submitted bids. The race was recently upgraded by the American and world governing bodies for cycling, putting it on par with a handful of other professional races outside Europe. The only other "above category" race in the United

States is next month's Amgen Tour of California. At a news conference Tuesday announcing this year's course, 2004 gold medalist Tyler Hamilton promised he would attend the race with his Rock Racing team. "I'm real impressed with the terrain and the amount of enthusiasm," said Hamilton, who placed

fourth in 2004's Tour de France and is the current U.S. professional champion. Floyd Landis, who had the 2006 Tour de France crown stripped because of a doping violation, has also said he would race in the event with the OUCH team, according to a report in USA Today.

time since the injury. And, unless symptoms recur, Henrickson is cautiously optimistic that Morris can practice without restrictions beginning today and, subsequently, play in Saturdays game. In practice, sophomore center Krysten Boogaard said, you can just see in her face how much she wants to be out there and playing with us. During the time she spent in a warm-up suit on the bench, Morris watched and absorbed facets of the game. Sure, she played the part of sideline cheerleader. But Morris also used the different viewing perspective as a time to learn. You see times when you say, She should have drove and done this or they did that wrong and should have done this, Morris said. Now, when I go in the game, I know exactly what theyre talking about. I get it. Make no mistake, Kansas was not and will not be a better team in the absence of Morris, who averages 12.3 points per game. But the Jayhawks used the time to grow a perfect opportunity for other players to fill in and handle new responsibilities. The loss of her has strengthened our team and made others do more than they had to, junior forward Danielle McCray said. When she comes back, theyll be doing more than before. With slightly more than eight minutes remaining in the first half against Texas Tech on Jan. 17, junior guard Sade Morris left the game with a Grade 2 concussion. The Kansan takes a look at the Jayhawks numbers with and without Morris in the lineup. record: 12-3 field-goal percentage: 47 Made three-pointers per game: 6 Morris points per game: 12.3

Before the injury

record: 0-3 field-goal percentage: 38 Made three-pointers per game: 2.3 Points per game from person starting in Morris spot: 7.7 Boogaard said. And it helps post players inside like myself because it stretches out the defense and gives us more room to work with. True, but Morris presence isnt limited solely to the offensive end. In most games before her concussion, Morris matched up with opponents best players. Sade, Henrickson said, is our best one-on-one defender. Now the question isnt so much when Morris will return, but how quickly shes back in uniform. For Morris and her teammates that day cant come soon enough. Its hard watching them go out and fight and get so close but not finish it, Morris said. I was really proud of how they played, but Im just ready to be back. Edited by Brandy Entsminger

Since the injury

Earlier in the season, a similar situation unfolded when Boogaard missed four games because of a stress reaction injury, forcing sophomore forward Nicollette Smith into the starting lineup. Smith has started every game since. Still, Kansas has struggled offensively without Morris, the teams second-leading scorer. In losses to Nebraska and K-State, Kansas had stretches where it relied solely on McCray for scoring. McCray did her part she scored 30 and 26, respectively but Henrickson said the Jayhawks needed more balance. And Morris ability to drive and shoot three-pointers keeps defenders on edge. Players have to guard her and shes really great off the bounce,

taking bad shots. At least, thats what Aldrich and Kansas coach Bill Self expect. Every time Cole catches it, hell feel two guys on him, Self said. A lot of times small guys trapping are just as effective as big guys trapping, because if you bring the ball down below your waist, theres a good chance they could deflect it or steal it. Aldrich knows hell probably spend the game being constantly double-teamed. But he said the Jayhawks other big men could benefit from it. Nebraskas attention to Aldrich could free up freshman forwards Marcus and Markieff Morris or junior guard Mario Little. The Cornhuskers could also switch to a zone defense to dissuade entry passes to Aldrich. Theyre going to try to do a lot of things, junior guard Sherron Collins said. A lot of teams are going to try to muddy it up. The Cornhuskers do have one player on their roster who could match up with Aldrich, at least size-wise. Brian Diaz, a 6-foot11 freshman from Puerto Rico, enrolled at Nebraska last week. But Diaz didnt play in Nebraskas 76-74 overtime defeat against Oklahoma State on Saturday. Nebraska coach Doc Sadler told the local media that Diaz was not ready to play yet. Nebraskas size disadvantage this season comes because of the graduation of Aleks Maric, a 6-foot-11 center, who was a staple of the Cornhuskers rotation for the past three years. Id love to go against him again, Aldrich said. But they dont have any big guys so youve got to play your cards that way. Edited by Chris Hickerson

competition big for roethlisberger

By ALAN ROBINSON
Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. Ben Roethlisberger was along for the ride, and he knows it. Some teams win a Super Bowl because of their quarterback, the Pittsburgh Steelers managed not to lose one in Detroit three years ago despite Big Bens self-described bad game. Tom Brady, he wasnt. As nervous as a teenager taking his drivers test, Roethlisberger was 9-of-21 with two interceptions and a 22.6 passer rating. He was so ineffective, the Steelers needed a wide receiver, Antwaan Randle El, to throw the pivotal touchdown pass as they beat Seattle 21-10. Roethlisberger became the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl at age 23, but he was as much relieved as he was happy. Not long after, the mood of a player better known for his competitiveness than his perfectly placed spirals began to change. I obviously got a little bit upset I didnt play so well, I let the guys down and I didnt help the team win the game, Roethlisberger said Tuesday, a three-deep crowd huddled around his Super Bowl media day podium. It fuels the fire that you want to come out and play a better game the next time. You have to get over the initial hoopla, the flash, the lights and just make it a game. Just a game. Theres no such thing to Roethlisberger, who is such a competitor that he rarely holds the door open for someone because he doesnt want anyone sometimes, even a date beating him outside. A friendly game of cards, a swat of the ping-ping paddle, a determined dribble of the basketball almost anything sets off Big Ben, the man who refuses to lose. So imagine what a football game does. Imagine what this second Super Bowl in four years is doing, the one he will play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals and coach Ken Whisenhunt, his offensive coordinator in that Detroit Super Bowl. Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner doesnt need to imagine. To beat the Steelers, he must outplay Roethlisberger, and he knows how difficult that can be. A classic pocket passer, Warner watches on tape how the 6-foot-5 Roethlisberger shakes off 300-pound defensive linemen, escapes a pass rush and creates a big play out of a broken one. Hes so much more athletic than me. Hes got a big, strong arm, he has an ability to make plays in and out of the pocket thats so different from me, Warner said. Im a guy that stays in there and is really built on just staying in there and making the forward pass as opposed to making a whole bunch of plays outside the pocket. Hes got great strengths outside of that part of it, which obviously I dont. Their personalities are similar. Warners career has gone through numerous ups and downs, yet he persevered and now has a chance to win a second Super Bowl. So does Roethlisberger, whose competitiveness drives Pittsburghs offense. Ben needs to win, said defensive end Brett Keisel, one of his best friends on the team. I could be joking around, playing basketball, we could be playing H-O-R-S-E, and all of a sudden he wants to bet. When he bets, he just has this face, this look that comes over him that hes going to win. Me, being the smart guy I am, I never bet.

Kansas State athletics director to leave for new campus

ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. Less than a year after taking over as Kansas States athletics director, Bob Krause announced Tuesday that he was leaving that job to direct fundraising for a new K-State campus in Olathe. Krauses resignation is effective March 31. He took the job as athletics director in April 2008 after serving as the universitys vice president for institutional advancement and wasnt expected to serve in the A.D. post for long. He has been with Kansas State for 23 years. University President Jon Wefald said deputy athletics director Jim Epps would serve as interim athletics director until a replacement was selected. For almost a year now, I have worked with the athletics department since this has been a high priority for the university as it makes a transition of leadership in the presidents office, Krause said in a written statement released by the university. I believe the department is in very good shape. Wefald, who is retiring after the current academic year, added that the new A.D. would be chosen by the schools next president. Wefald said the announcement was all part of the plan to have a seamless transition. Bob is so looking forward to his new duties, he said in a telephone interview. Its the sort of thing hes done before and he enjoys it greatly. The new president would name his own A.D. anyway. In his new position as director of development for Kansas States Olathe Innovation Campus, Krause will lead fundraising efforts for the suburban Kansas City facility, which has been in the works for about a decade. Over the last 10 years we have worked hard to establish a campus in the Kansas City area related to developing food safety and security as the universitys top academic and research priority, Krause said. He said that although funding was in place for the first building on the new campus, more money was needed fund the rest of the project. I enthusiastically look forward to this new assignment, he said. Since joining the Kansas State staff in 1986 as director of student affairs, Krause has worn many hats and been closely associated with athletics. Among the most noteworthy events of Krauses one-year tenure were the firing of football coach Ron Prince.

Many observers had warned be her spotter but failed to catch her; the school district; and the that families of cheerleaders would be forced to take out big districts insurer. insurance policies if the lower court decision stood. Because of the increasingly difficult stunts, injuries among high school cheerleaders are a problem. Researchers at the University of North Carolina have found that two-thirds of the roughly 100 cases of catastrophic sports injuries among high school girls since 1982 have involved cheerleading. More than 95,000 female students and 2,100 male students take part in high school cheerleading every year, according to the North Carolina researchers. Most state athletic governing bodies do not regulate cheerleading. Those that do make a distinction between competitive spirit squads and sideline cheerleading, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. The group writes voluntary rules for cheerleading that do not have the force of law. Theres a lot of gray area about whether its a sport or an activity, said spokesman Bruce Howard.

ASSociAted PreSS

MADISON, Wis. High school cheerleading is a contact sport and therefore its participants cannot be sued for accidentally causing injuries, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a case being closely watched in the cheerleading world. The court ruled that a former high school cheerleader cannot sue a teammate who failed to stop her fall while she was practicing a stunt. The court also said the injured cheerleader cannot sue her school district. The National Cheer Safety Foundation said the decision is the first of its kind in the nation. At issue in the case was whether cheerleaders qualify for immunity under a Wisconsin law that prevents participants in contact sports from suing each other for unintentional injuries. It does not spell out which sports are contact sports. The District 4 Court of Appeals ruled last year cheerleading didnt

This could be dangerous. If Kansas overlooks a trip to the Devaney Center, it could lose to Nebraska for only the second time in the past 20 meetings. Ask Missouri. The Tigers, who appear to be the class of the Big 12 North division along with Kansas, lost to the Cornhuskers by five at the Devaney Center to open conference play. Nebraska is a spunky team that does all the little things right. It leads the conference in scoring defense and is second in both steals and turnover margin. Sounds like a team capable of forcing the young Jayhawks into making mistakes.

Nebraska is pretty good on its home court, which is why Saturdays 76-74 overtime loss to Oklahoma State was a bit surprising. And devastating. The undersized Cornhuskers suddenly forgot how to shoot in overtime, missing all five of their shots. Nebraskas win against Missouri to open conference play proves that coach Doc Sadlers bunch has the talent to compete in the weak Big 12 North. But slip-ups like the Oklahoma State loss will cost Nebraska come tournament time unless it can win a big one like tonights game.

Tyshawn Taylor, 6-foot-3 freshman guard The speedy Nebraska backcourt could give Taylor problems because he isnt used to playing against anyone nearly as fast as him. But hes still more talented than his opponents.

Miller

Steve Harley, 5-foot-11 senior guard The Devaney Center needs The Steve Harley Show to premiere Wednesday night. Harley isnt an Original King of anything, but hes a decent player and it will probably take a career game or some seriously funny stand-up for the Cornhuskers to emerge victorious.

PlAyer to wAtch
Freshman forward Quintrell Thomas Well, if theres an opportunity to watch him. Thomas had played only one minute total in Kansas first three conference games before logging seven Saturday Thomas at Iowa State. Thomas made the most of his minutes with four rebounds, and Self praised his attitude and performance. Self said Thomas could play more in the future if the situation called for it. Against Nebraska, the most undersized team in the Big 12, a smaller forward might be helpful. The 6-foot-8 Thomas would gladly oblige.
Taylor

PlAyer to wAtch
Senior guard Steve Harley On a team without any big stars, Harley is the best player because of his versatility. He plays the most minutes per game (31.6), scores the most points per game (12.1), Harley ranks second in assists (40) and free-throw attempts (63), and pulls down the third-most rebounds per game (3.6). Hes also an excellent defender who can make steals without committing too many fouls. Harley isnt a great player, but hes the best thing going for Nebraska.

Brady Morningstar, 6-foot-3 sophomore guard Morningstar is recording nearly three assists for every one turnover. Thats the consistency Kansas needs.

Harley

Sek Henry, 6-foot-2 junior guard Coach Doc Sadlers first signee, Henry is a decent left-hander with some range. He shoots 38 percent beyond the arc and averages 9.1 points per game.

Morningstar

Mario Little, 6-foot-5 junior guard Self rotates players into this starting spot and Littles size and strengths appear to match up best against Nebraska. Defensively, this could be revealing, as Little will be guarding a Cornhusker guard.

Ade Dagunduro, 6-foot-5 senior guard Dagunduro parlayed a successful year at Antelope Valley Community College into a scholarship at the same school where his brother, Olatokunbo, lettered in football. He scored a career-high 20 points against Missouri, the only other Big 12 school he considered out of community college.

Henry

question mArk
Are Sherron Collins best days yet to come? Hard to ask for much more than averages of 21 points and nearly six rebounds in Kansas four conference games. But Collins hasnt shown any signs of slowing, either. He scored 26 points and had five assists in arguably his best game Saturday against Iowa State. If Collins comes into the Nebraska game with the same kind of energy, coach Doc Sadler and his cronies wont be able to concoct a way to stop him.

Little

question mArk
Dagunduro

Cole Aldrich, 6-foot-11 sophomore center Aldrich set a career-high in rebounds against Syracuse earlier in the year with 16. Could he break it tonight against a tiny Nebraska frontline?

Chris Balham, 6-foot-8 junior forward Balham is a strange cat. In five Big 12 games, Balham, a Kansas City, Kan., native, has started every game but averages just 1.4 points and two rebounds in 10.8 minutes. Balham seems to be the token tall guy in a pint-sized starting lineup.

Aldrich

Balham

Can Nebraska force 20 turnovers? The Cornhuskers average 9.1 steals per game, which is secondbest in the Big 12. They also shoot 37.9 percent behind the threepoint line, good for third in the conference. Nebraska wont beat Kansas in the paint 6-foot-6 Tony McCray is the tallest player to average more than 10 minutes per game. But if the Huskers can use a junk defense to create an ugly, turnover-ridden game, then maybe they can hit enough threes to keep it close.

heAr ye, heAr ye

Can we get to their shooters? That will be a big key because we will play bigger than they will for the majority of the game. Kansas coach Bill Self This is one game I probably wont be the shortest person on the court. Hes real fast, but Im still fast. I can keep up with him. Ive just got to give him a little more space because I want to make him shoot. Ill be able to contest his shot because hes so small.
Junior guard Sherron Collins on Nebraska guard Cookie Miller

SIXTH MAN

Paul Velander, 6-foot-2 senior guard Velanders 49 made three-pointers are one fewer than the next highest number of attempted threes from a Cornhusker. He dials in 47 percent from long Velander distance and plays starters minutes. After an unusually cold night against Oklahoma State he hit one of eight three-pointers expect Velander to attempt at least 10 treys.

heAr ye, heAr ye

As soon as I retrieved possession, they were swiping at my hands. I was hoping we would get the call, but we didnt.

Mario Little adds to his streak of consecutive field goals. Little has made 11 straight shots, dating back to the victory against Kansas State to open conference play. The Cornhuskers already face a daunting task in slowing Collins and Aldrich. Get Little going and the Cornhuskers might become overwhelmed. Little, however, predicted he would finally miss a shot against Nebraska. The streak cant last forever, but another game would be nice for the Jayhawks.

PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF...

Kansas cant contain another power forward. Iowa States Craig Brackins wound up two points shy of a conference record for points with 42 in Saturdays game. The difference is Nebraska doesnt use a true power forward and doesnt have anyone as talented as Brackins. But 6-foot-4 guard Ade Dagunduro plays in the spot and might be the Cornhuskers best option. He has averaged 12 points and four rebounds and could be a matchup problem for Jayhawk power forwards such as Marcus Morris.
