After Robert Deckers fresh-
man year in 2007, he devel-
oped an appreciation for high-
quality beer. The only problem
was that Decker, a graduate
student from Stillwater, Okla.,
could not legally buy alcohol.
Although Deckers problem
was common among younger
students, his solution was a bit
unorthodox: he began brew-
ing the beer himself.
It was a means for me to
sort of start exploring the
world of beer with a hands-
on approach, Decker said.
The American Homebrewers
Association (AHA) is an orga-
nization where homewbrew-
ers connect through all things
beer. The AHA currently has
24,000 members, and officials
estimate 750,000 Americans
brew beer at home at least
once a year. The Lawrence
Brewers Guild has around 100
members, according to the
groups newly-elected presi-
dent Russell Brickell. Brickell,
who began homebrewing
four years ago and is now an
assistant brewer at 23rd St.
Brewery, said homebrewing
could be a creative outlet for
students.
If youre going to drink
beer, you might as well drink
something you made your-
self, Brickell said.
Decker said that on aver-
age, five gallons of beer, or
50 bottles, costs him about
$25 to make. That equates to
roughly 50 cents per bottle.
He said its more expensive
for beginners because they
need to purchase equip-
ment and will likely use malt
extract, a processed and sim-
pler ingredient, as opposed to
raw grains. Rich Greenwood,
another Lawrence homebrew-
er, compared the two ingredi-
ent options to baking.
Its kind of like buying
cookie dough as opposed to
making the ingredients itself,
Greenwood said. Obviously,
its way easier to buy the cook-
ie dough, but it costs more
than buying the flour, sugar
and chocolate chips.
Decker and Greenwood
both said that having enough
free time and space to brew
are challenges they face, but
Decker thinks homebrewing
is worth the extra hassle.
It may cost more than buy-
ing beer from the store, but
youre getting a lot more out
of it, he said. Youre getting
more than just beer; youre

A new resource intended for
Lawrence residents may make it
easier for students to find volun-
teer opportunities.
The Lawrence-Douglas County
Housing Authority created a map
of all emergency aid resources
in Lawrence. The Housing
Authority worked with the City
of Lawrence and Headquarters
Counseling Center on the assign-
ment.
The map lists 91 organizations
and services, from the Adult
Learning Center to the Willow
Domestic Violence Center and
gives contact information for
each. Many of these organiza-
tions seek volunteer help.
It will probably be a useful
tool, certainly, for anyone whos
doing social services in the com-
munity, said Carrie Lindsey,
director of resident services for
the Lawrence-Douglas County
Housing Authority. A useful tool
for anyone whos volunteering.
The Douglas County AIDS
Project, one of the organizations
listed on the map, relies on volun-
teer help, said Colt Coffin. Coffin
is a case manager for the project.
Were always extremely open
to volunteers, Coffin said.
Lindsey cautioned that
many organizations appreciate
extended notice from prospec-
tive volunteers. It can be difficult
to accommodate volunteers on
short notice Lindsey says.
Other organizations listed on
the map that may interest stu-
dents include Big Brothers and
Big Sisters, KU Psychological
Clinic and the Leo Center.
Lindsey said the map took
about a year to complete. Only
1,000 copies are available now but
after organizations verify the map
5,000 copies will be distributed
across the city. Lindsey says the
maps will be available at local aid
organizations.
The map primarily targets
Lawrence residents who have
been affected by the recession
and are looking for aid for the
first time, says Lindsey. The map
gives those individuals an easy
way to see all their available
resources.

WEATHER
The National Weather Service has issued
a winter storm warning for Douglas County
through Wednesday morning. Freezing drizzle
and rain are expected late Sunday into early
Monday. Snowfall will follow and continue
through Tuesday night with 8 to 12 inches of
snow expected. The last time Lawrence had 12
inches of snow was March 16, 1960.
I know this storm has the potential to outdo
the last couple of storms,said Matt Anderson,
meteorologist for the Topeka National Weather
Service.
The windchill is projected to be
anywhere from -15 to -25 degrees,
which could be dangerous, Anderson
said.
Driving will be hazardous because of
wind, heavy snow and low visibility. The Na-
tional Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis-
tration website suggests that drivers fll gas
tanks and check antifreeze levels. Continue to

DETROIT A 63-year-old
Southern California man who
was traveling with explosives in
his vehicle with the intention of
blowing up one of the nations
largest mosques where mourners
had gathered for a funeral was
arrested in the Detroit suburb of
Dearborn, Michigan authorities
said Sunday.
Dearborn police said Roger
Stockham was arraigned
Wednesday on one count of mak-
ing a false report or threat of ter-
rorism and one count of possess-
ing explosives with an unlawful
intent. Stockham had a large but
undisclosed quantity of class-C
fireworks including M-80s, which
are outlawed in Michigan, Chief
Ronald Haddad said.
I was comfortable with the
fact that we had taken him off the
street he isnt going anywhere,
Haddad told The Associated Press
Sunday afternoon. I think the
society he wanted to impact is
safe.
Haddad said Stockham was
arrested Monday evening with-
out incident in the parking lot of
Islamic Center of America, while
a large group was gathered inside.
He said police received a 911 call
from a resident.
Haddad said authorities believe
Stockham was acting alone but
still take him very seriously. He
said Stockham has a long history
of anti-government activities,
though he declined to elaborate.
The chief said he called the
mosque leader, Imam Hassan al-
Qazwini, early Tuesday to let him
know of the arrest, and later met
with Qazwini and mosque board
members. He said members shared
concerns about copycat crimes
if the arrest was publicized, and
Haddad said he understood.
We never want to put some-
thing out there that gives some-
one the how-to, Haddad said.
Qazwini informed worship-
pers about the incident during his
sermon on Friday. The Council
on American-Islamic Relations
Michigan chapter issued a news
release Saturday night and the
police followed Sunday morning.
Stockham remained jailed
Sunday. A preliminary examina-
tion is scheduled for Friday. Police
didnt know whether Stockham
had an attorney.

tal of the Detroit areas Arab-

With service providers AT&T
and Verizon, unlimited text
messaging features cost about
$20 per month. But now, under
Kansas State Law, just one of
those messages could cost up to
$133 in fines and court costs if
sent while users are driving.
The Kansas Texting Law took
effect Jan. 1, allowing officers
to issue citations for texting
and driving. The law extends
to all wireless communication
except phone calls, includ-
ing BlackBerry messaging and
e-mailing.
Lawrence Police Sergeant
Matt Sarna says that while offi-
cers have already issued cita-
tions this year and will con-
tinue to ticket under the new
law, punishing texters will not
become a priority.
Its not something that were
going to go after hard, Sarna
said.
If an officer notices that a
driver is distracted and using a
wireless device, the officer will
pull the driver over, said Sarna.
Operating a wireless device
while driving is now a primary
offense in Kansas, meaning vio-
lators can be pulled over just
for using their phones. Since
making and receiving phone
calls is still legal, officers must
distinguish between users who
are sending messages and those
who are simply dialing a phone
number.
Its pretty easy to tell when
theyre at a stop light and some-
ones looking down and texting,
Sarna said. If theres any doubt
at all, theyre not going to pull
them over.
A study released in September
by the Highway Loss Data
Institute indicated that other
states that have enacted similar
bans experienced no improve-
ment in frequency of collisions.
Despite criticism of such laws,
police are optimistic it will help
people to be more aware of situ-
ations in which texting can be
dangerous.
Hopefully itll be someone
decides not to text until theyre
home, and itll save somebodys
life, Sarna sa

Carter comments
on Mubaraks fate
PLAINS, Ga. (AP) Former
President jimmy Carter, who
brokered a peace accord be-
tween Israel and Egypt in 1978,
on Sunday called the political
unrest and rioting in Egypt
earth-shaking and said that
President Hosni Mubarak prob-
ably will have to step down.
Carter told a Sunday school
class that he teaches that the
unrest is the most profound
situation in the Middle East
since he left ofce in 1981. He
said he thinks the unrest will
ease in the next week, but his
guess is Mubarak will have to
leave.
The Columbus Ledger-En-
quirer reported Carters remarks
made at Maranatha Baptist
Church in Plains and his spokes-
woman confrmed them.
The United States wants
Mubarak to stay in power, but
the people have decided, Carter
said.
Carter brought Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat and Is-
raeli Prime Minister Menachem
Begin together for the peace
accord signed in Washington,
d.C. Sadat and Begin shared the
Nobel Peace Prize for the treaty.
Mubarak was vice president
at the time and became presi-
dent in 1981 when Sadat was
assassinated by opponents of
the agreement.
Carter said that as Mubaraks
30-year rule has continued, the
Egyptian leader has become
more politically corrupt. He has
perpetuated himself in ofce,
Carter said.

NEW YORK Tey were stu-
dents who juggled an elite educa-
tion with criminal extracurricu-
lars, dealing an array of drugs from
Ivy League dorm rooms and frat
houses, prosecutors say.
But beneath the surface of aca-
demic success, some of the Colum-
bia University students charged in
a campus drug takedown struggled
with substance abuse, their lawyers
say. Attorneys for two of the fve
students plan to ask a court to pre-
scribe treatment instead of prison
one of the most high-profle
tests so far of a recent overhaul of
New Yorks once-notoriously strin-
gent drug laws.
Te outcome will be watched
closely by opponents and propo-
nents of 2009 changes to mitigate
what were known as the Rockefell-
er drug laws.
With the bid for whats known
as diversion to treatment, the
Columbia bust is probably the
case thats going to cause light to be
shed on what these new laws mean:
When diversion is appropriate,
and what the Legislature intended
when it cut back so drastically the
Rockefeller laws, said Marc Ag-
niflo, who represents one of the
students, Christopher Coles.
Coles and fellow students Harri-
son David, Adam Klein, Jose Perez
and Michael Wymbs were arrested
in December, have pleaded not
guilty and are due back in court in
March. Authorities called the ar-
rests one of the largest drug take-
downs at a New York City college
in recent memory, and the presti-
gious setting made the case a me-
dia magnet.
Each student made some of the
31 sales in which an undercover of-
fcer bought about $11,000 worth
of marijuana, cocaine, LSD, Ec-
stasy and prescription stimulants
over fve months, authorities said.
Drugs, paraphernalia and more
than $6,600 in cash were found in
the students rooms, according to
the ofce of special narcotics pros-
ecutor Bridget Brennan.
Prosecutors have indicated
theyre likely to add to the charges,
but at least for now, only David
faces mandatory prison time if
convicted.
Te 2009 revisions took away
some mandatory minimum terms
afer the harshest terms were
eliminated in 2004 and let hun-
dreds of nonviolent drug ofenders
seek to shorten their sentences.
Te latest changes also gave judges
more latitude to send nonviolent
ofenders to treatment programs or
other alternatives to prison, on the
premise that addressing addictions
would do more to change some
ofenders criminal behavior than
would locking them up.
Coles and Wymbs hope a judge
will use that discretion to channel
their cases to a special drug court,
their lawyers said. Drug court de-
fendants generally undergo a year
or more of treatment and may end
up with their charges dismissed or
reduced to misdemeanors.
Coles, 20, is charged with sell-
ing marijuana and pairing in some
amphetamine sales with Perez. An
anthropology and political science
major involved in a campus efort
to combat sexual violence, Coles
told police he sold drugs to pay tu-
ition, prosecutors said.
But Coles lawyer said the stu-
dent was in the throes of a roughly
$70-a-day marijuana habit. It had
become so problematic that his
father had called Columbia to
express concern, Agniflo said; a
university spokesman declined to
comment.
Wymbs, charged with selling
LSD and Ecstasy, also has a de-
monstrable problem with some
substances, said his lawyer, Mi-
chael Bachner, declining to be
more specifc.

WICHITA The 19-year-old
Kansas twins told their own story
of sexual abuse at the hands of
their father and two brothers to
a local newspaper in hopes of
inspiring others to report such
crimes.
Now, Kellie and Kathie
Henderson will retell their story
at a taping in Chicago with Oprah
Winfrey and her 7 million viewers
on her daytime television show.
The show is expected to air
sometime next month.
The Hendersons have said they
revealed their lives as sex abuse
victims in a three-part series in
The Wichita Eagle last month
with the hope of inspiring others
to report abuse.
State regulators say they have
received several reports of sexual
abuse because of the story series.
While we havent had a big
influx of reports, I would say that
we had a few that specifically said
when they reported suspected sex-
ual abuse that they were reporting
because of having read the arti-
cle, said Jean Hogan, director of
the Wichita regional office of the
Kansas Department of Social and
Rehabilitation Services. If even
one child is protected as a result,
it is positive.
The Eagle series described how
the Henderson twins were sexu-
ally abused for about 10 years.
At age 13 in March 2005, they
confided in neighbors who called
police. The sisters regard the
neighbors and police who inves-
tigated as heroes who saved their
lives. Kathie said she had contem-
plated suicide before their rescue.

Catapulting drugs
presents issues
HErMOSILLO, Mexico
Drug smugglers are using an
ancient invention as a new
way to move marijuana across
the border from Mexico to Ari-
zona.
The discovery of two drug
catapults in the Mexican state
of Sonora marks the latest
twist in the cat-and-mouse
game trafckers play with au-
thorities.
u.S. National Guard troops
operating a remote surveil-
lance system at the Naco
Border Patrol Station say they
observed several people pre-
paring a catapult and launch-
ing packages over the fence
late last week.
A Mexican army ofcer says
the 3-yard (3-meter) tall cata-
pult was found about 20 yards
(20 meters) from the u.S. bor-
der on a fatbed towed by a
sports utility vehicle.
The ofcer says the catapult
was capable of launching 4.4
pounds of marijuana at a time.
He says soldiers seized 35
pounds of pot, the vehicle and
the catapult.
The smugglers left before
they could be captured. The
surveillance video of them us-
ing the catapult was released
Wednesday.

I
t was expected to be a breeze, but
President Barack Obama has not been
able to get the one item on his per-
sonal docket done an item that he has
been trying to pass since before his elec-
tion: Death by Presidency.
Unable to muster the courage to do it
himself, he screamed, Youll never take
me alive! as he sprinted toward the presi-
dential election, feeling confident that he
would never see the end.
When I asked a man who had thoughts
on the situation what his thoughts were
on the situation, he said, Most likely
were just becoming a less racist country
as we move more towards a global society.
We are becoming used to different kinds
of people from different backgrounds, and
I think President Obama is living proof
of that.
Since that man is clearly irrational, I
asked another man. This time, someone
that purports to really know things said,
Its more likely that our literacy programs
in the regions associated with the extrem-
ists have educated them enough to know
that it would irritate him more if they
kept him alive.
Where exactly are these regions?
The South, mostly, but also the Deep
South and the Southeast, as well. Weve
really tried to put most of our focus on
the problem areas.
When a call was made to a Deep
Southerners rotary telephone, he was
asked his opinion on how the current
president was allowed to take office, he
replied with, I believe Ronald Reagan is
doing a fine job.
Obamas election campaign even
leaked that he might not be born in the
U.S., which was expected to be the tip-
ping point for extremists. It was further
helped by the fact that Obama was born
in the faraway and mystical, yet somehow
U.S.-owned, land of Hawaii. However, his
campaign coordinators did not take into
account the call-in radio shows, blogs and
loss of 1950s stoicism that now allow the
population to vent all their anger.
Without the need to contain every-
thing until it boiled over, everyone merely
yelled and complained rather than doing
anything. Charles Bronson never would
have stood for this. He would have shot
this fact in the face if it were a tangible
object.
However, it might not be blogs that are
keeping Obama safe, or even his security
staff. More than likely the presidents
greatest defense is the man that would
take over, Joe Biden.
As Vice President of U.S. Operations,
Biden was asked about the situation
through telephone and had this to say,
Theyve taken away my speaking privi-
leges again.
After reminding him that he was cur-
rently speaking, he released a heavy sigh
and hung up the phone.

Obamas death wish not going as planned
Monday, JAnuArY 31, 2011
H
e was sitting on a chair, looking at
the streets through the window.
The noisy bar and the dance
floor next to him meant nothing. His face
was different, different from all the others
in the room. He was worried and a little
bored.
That night was in 2009 on the last day
of the international student orientation.
I was walking back to my seat from the
dance floor in the Chateau. After a stress-
ful one-week orientation, we all needed a
break. I was surrounded by people I met
during the orientation. The air was filled
with excitement, not about going out, but
about beginning a new page in our life: a
new page in a new country.
I looked around the room, and I saw
him, one of my Chinese friends. I dont
remember his name, but that moment
remains in my memory.
I was ambitious, full of hope just like
all the other international students in that
room. I had prepared very long for this.
Now, in a couple of days, I would be study-
ing with other American students in the
same classroom, learning their culture and
enjoying the open academic environment
here.
He looked back at me, the look from his
eyes pulled me back to reality.
Was I ready to live with other students
who may have difficulties relating to my
life? Was I ready not to see my parents for
at least half a year? Was I ready to leave all
of my friends behind? And, was I ready for
the fact that most of them would lose con-
tact with me eventually?
I quickly moved my thoughts away
from those questions. I already made the
choice. There was no going back.
Busy with my academic program, I have
not been back to my country for one and
half years. When I look at myself in the
dance room that night, I feel much older. It
doesnt make sense to me that little over a
year could do this much, but it did.
Now, I speak English and think in
English. Sometimes, I get too used to the
way of life here.
But every time I watch the sunrise, it
reminds me that in that direction 7,500
miles away is my home.
The international community is a very
important part of the student population
here on campus. I will be presenting our
lives to you this semester in my column. I
want to act as a bridge between both com-
munities, and I hope understanding and
friendships will be formed.

engineering from nanjing, China.

L
ast week, Gov. Sam
Brownbacks proposed his $105
million University Economic
Growth initiative, designed to stimu-
late job growth in research areas such
as aviation, cancer research, animal
health and engineering.
According to the plan, Kansas
State, Wichita State universities, and
the University of Kansas will each
receive $5 million a year for three
years, as well as the ability to receive
another $3 million annually.
However, Brownback has attached
some rather interesting strings to
that additional $3 million: competi-
tion.
In a nutshell, each univer-
sity would be required to provide
through private sector or repro-
grammed funds 50 percent of the
cost of the program initiative,
according to Brownbacks State of the
State address.
In the past, the funds were directed
to the University Cancer Center.
Now, the funds first go through the
Department of Commerce who will
distribute the money throughout dif-
ferent areas of research.
Sure, this is a great opportunity for
the Cancer Research Center to gain
extra support, but at what cost?
This is the problem the University
will have to face if we want to further
the research that already so much has
been invested in. Brownbacks initia-
tive is distracting state universities by
hanging more money over their head,
instead of equally distributing the
money to the schools primary area of
research.
Competition is a beautiful thing,
and can bring out the best in people,
but this proposal creates a hindrance
along with the benefit.
Issues surround this new initiative,
and it seems that if job creation is the
goal behind this new program, the
money should be more accessible to
respective programs.
Perhaps a better course of action
would be to ultimately grant each
university the total $8 million per
year regardless of what they can
develop on their own. That way it
relieves the pressure of falling short
while still encouraging independent
fundraising.
Although director of the KU
Cancer Center, Dr. Roy Jensen, said
in an interview with The Kansan that
he didnt think raising the private
matching funds would be too diffi-
cult, Governor Brownbacks new ini-
tiative sure is a far cry from former
policies.

Te university needs the money, just not the strings
editOriAL
I am extremely angry. In the
morning paper [The Denver Post],
I read that a CU student yelled out
F___ Kansas during a moment
of silence for KU player Thomas
Robinsons mom, who had just
died. It made it even worse when
it was published that she was a
single mom, and Thomas found
out from his 9-year-old sister. This
behavior is intolerable and really
hit home because I remember how
I felt when our CU quarterback Sal
Aunese died of cancer and a ban-
ner on a Nebraska dorm room read
Sal is Dead, Go Big Red.
Beyond the sports rivalry, I
have never felt quite right about
Nebraska since then. I want you to
know that I respect KU. As a CU
alumnus, I would like to person-
ally apologize to the University of
Kansas and to Thomas Robinson
for this behavior for which there
is no excuse. I dont want you to
even think for a moment that this
incident represents the CU I know,
or that we stand more for athlet-
ics than the plight of individual
families. Please let me know where
I can make a contribution to this
family.
Sincerely,
Andrew Cleary, a resident of
Denver, Colo.

How do you feel about the
Black eyed Peas performing at the super
Bowl Halftime show?
This was an extra special game, not
because it was K-State, but because it was
the frst game that hes had an opportunity
to really play for his mother.
Bill Self on Thomas Robinsons performance
Tyrel Reed
The other four starters combined for 55
points on 21-of-28 shooting and all fnished
in double fgures. Reed had an uncharacter-
istic bad shooting night, fnishing just 1-of-6
fromthe feld for fve points. He also had
more turnovers than assists for the second
time in three games and the fourth time this
season.
Thomas Robinson
In his frst game with anLR patch on his
left shoulder honoring his mother, Thomas
Robinson had 15 points and six rebounds in
the second half alone, fnishing with 17 and
nine in his best performance as a Jayhawk.
Robinson had struggled since conference
play began, but he was nothing short of stel-
lar against Kansas State.

ung in the rafers at the
pinnacle of Allen Field-
house, to the right of
Drew Goodens 0, Nick Collisons
4 and Kirk Hinrichs 10 now
rests Wayne Simiens 23.
Never in my wildest dreams
did I think my name would be
hanging up there, Simien said
before a packed Allen Fieldhouse
during halfime of Saturdays 90-66
victory against Kansas State. It
was never a goal of mine; it was
never a dreamof mine. But as I see
it there now, its still unbelievable.
With his wife Katie, daughters
Selah and Rael and son Simon in
the stands, and with former team-
mate Aaron Miles behind them,
Simiens jersey number 23 was
retired, forever etched in the his-
tory of Kansas basketball.
Te former Jayhawk forward
grew up in Leavenworth, rooted
for the Jayhawks as a kid and
attended basketball camps in
Lawrence. Former Kansas sports
broadcaster Max Falkenstein,
who introduced Saturdays cer-
emony, said Simien was an easy
recruit for coach Roy Williams.
From2002-2005, Simien
played for Williams for two years
and coach Bill Self for another
two years. At Kansas, Simien
scored 1,593 points and logged
884 rebounds, good for 13th and
7th all time at Kansas respective-
ly. He was the 2005 Big 12 Player
of the Year, a two time All-Amer-
ican and a Lowes Senior CLASS
Award recipient, which is given
to the top senior basketball player
in the nation. He was a part of
two Final Four teams, including
a loss to Syracuse in the 2003
national championship game,
and one Elite Eight team.
He was selected by the Miami
Heat as the 29th pick overall in
the 1st round of the 2005 NBA
draf. Despite playing sparingly
in the 2005-2006 season, the Heat
won the NBA title and Simien
received a championship ring.
However during his speech on
Saturday, he said that he wanted
to be remembered not simply for
his accolades on the hardwood.
I really hope my legacy here
will be not just someone who
grabbed a bunch of rebounds or
scored a bunch of points, Simien
said. But I hope that I will be re-
membered as someone whose life
was miraculously transformed by
Jesus Christ.
Simien currently serves as a
minister through an organization

he founded, Called To Greatness,
that sets up basketball camps and
leagues. According to its website,
Called To Greatness is honored
to teach young athletes to live
and compete for Jesus.
Simien also works on the Uni-
versity of Kansas as a religious
advisor and mentor of student-
athlete development.
At one moment on Saturday
he stumbled to formulate his
words. He used Allen Fieldhouse
as his platformto further express
his faithful gratitude and his
sincere thanks to his many fans.
He also acknowledged the reality
that more jersey numbers will be
retired at the Fieldhouse in the
future.
Tis is Kansas, Simien said.
Teres going to be plenty more
All-Americans that walk through
that tunnel.
But the future stars of the
Phog may struggle to compete
with the words laid out by Falk-
enstein.
On the 150th birthday of our

is native born, native bred, who
loves Kansas and is one of the
nicest guys that youll ever meet.

Compensation for time and travel

When freshman sprinter
Diamond Dixon took her mark for
the womens 400-meter race at the
Jayhawk Classic on Friday, it was
no secret that a former Olympian
lined up a few feet away.
Dixon battled alumnus and
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
sprinter Nickesha Anderson the
entire way but crossed the fin-
ish line four one-hundredths of
a second behind. Second place,
but also the second fastest time in
school history.
Diamond showed her a lot of
respect at the beginning of the
race, coach Stanley Redwine said,
but with someone that good you
have to show that respect.
Twenty-six schools competed
inside Anschutz Sports Pavilion
where the Kansas Track and Field
team took home eight individual
titles and placed first in all four
relay events.
Sophomore sprinter Denesha
Morris won the 60-meter dash for
the third time this season. Her
time of 7.47 was a personal best
and third fastest time in school
history. She later ran the third
leg for the winning 4x400 relay
team with Dixon, senior Kendra
Bradley and sophomore Taylor
Washington.
All-American junior Rebeka
Stowe won the womens 3000-
meter race, followed closely by
senior Amanda Miller. It was the
first time this season Stowe ran
the event.
Sophomore Kyle Clemons won
the mens 400-meter event in
48.27. He too ran the event for the
first time this season.
In the 600-meter race senior
Keron Toussaint looked strong for
the men. Still, his first place time
of 1:21.18 left him hungry.
I really liked my time,
Toussaint said. Of course I would
have liked to run faster but thats
what it is like in every race.
The men finished first and sec-
ond in the mile race. Freshman
Josh Munsch took first, less than
five seconds ahead of redshirt
sophomore Austin Bussing. The
two would team up later to take
first in the distance medley relay
along with freshman Brendan
Soucie and sophomore Sean
Proehl.
For the women, sophomore
Kyra Kilwein took second in the
mile run.
Also impressive were senior
Nick Caprario and freshman Dalen
Fink. Caprario blew away the field
in the 3000 meter run. He finished
19 seconds over the next runner.
Fink brought home the victory in
the 800-meter run.
In the 4x400 relay, fresh-
man Nicholas Seckfort, sopho-
more Derrick Perry, junior Isaac
Bradshaw and freshman Alex
Hermes took first.
All in all, Redwine liked what
he saw.
I thought we ran really well as
a team, he said. Were continuing
to get better week by week and we
are very excited with what hap-
pened today.
Inside the track on Ray Evans
Field, freshman thrower Jessica
Maroszek won the shot put com-
petition.
Sophomore thrower Mason
Finley, who posted an NCAA sea-
son high in shot put last week,
didnt participate and said he was
just hanging out..
The team will compete in the
New Balance Collegiate Invitational
in New York on Feb. 4 and 5. After
four consecutive meets at home,

Jayhawks fnish with 12 titles
BY ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
The womens basketball team
lost its fifth straight game, 65-60
to Kansas State Saturday. The
Jayhawks have lost six of their
last seven games to Kansas State.
Sophomore forward Carolyn
Davis fell into foul trouble early
and was able to play just 19 min-
utes of the game.
Davis entered the game as
Kansas leading scorer, averaging
17.5 points per game, but was
called for two quick fouls and did
not score in the first half. Davis
ended the game with just nine
points and one rebound.
It was tough to sit on the
bench that long. I tried to stay in
the game by cheering my team-
mates on, Davis said in a press
release.
The Jayhawks had to count on
senior forward Kristen Boogaard
to make up the minutes lost by
Davis while she was on the bench.
Red shirt freshman forward Tania
Jackson was also called upon to
take up some of Davis minutes
while she was on the bench.
Boogaard scored eight points for
the Jayhawks.
I was helping Krysten
(Boogaard) and coaching her. I
knew coming out in the second
half I was fresh and I knew I had
to come out and be the player I
had to be for my team, Davis said
in a press release.
Fouls affected the whole team.
Kansas leading scorer, sopho-
more guard Monica Engelman,
and Jackson also fouled out of the
game. Engleman scored 18 points
in the game.
Boges (Krysten Boogaard)
came in and gave us three for
five which helps and we still
tried to run some things for her.
We go back to Monnie (Monica
Engleman) a little bit and some
screening action for her and we
get Tania (Jackson) in a post-up
once, coach Bonnie Henrickson
said in a press release.
Despite solid contributions
from the bench, the Jayhawks
could not overcome the absence
of Davis.
A big chunk of the play card is
her primary look and her second-
ary looks but that happens and we
have got to learn from it and she
will learn from that and not get
into foul trouble. That is a help-
less feeling having to sit there and
do nothing. She had some team-
mates around her that stepped up
and tried to hold on until she got
back into the game, Henrickson
said in a press release.

Womens basketball falls into foul trouble
BY MIKE LAVIERI

The events of this past week
have shown that there is more to
life than basketball.
Last weekend it was the death
of Thomas Robinsons mother.
This weekend was another
glimpse into the meaning of
something bigger. Not only
did Robinson return to Kansas
lineup, but also, coaches across
the country laced up their gym
shoes against cancer. It was part
of Coaches vs. Cancers annual
Suits and Sneakers weekend.
Everybody wore sneakers and
I thought mine matched my suit
tonight, Self said.
The coaches and their staff
were encouraged to wear sneak-
ers for the support of cancer
awareness. Former Missouri
coach Norm Stewart started the
Coaches vs. Cancer in 1993 after
surviving colon cancer.
Coaches for Cancer, its a cool
deal, because, obviously Coach
Stewart had as much to do with
the beginning of it as anybody,
Self said. But to be a part of
something that has affected so
many is always a good thing.
The Coaches vs. Cancer
Mission (from the National
Association of Basketball Coaches
website):
To increase cancer aware-
ness and promote healthy living
among students, faculty, school
staff, fans, and the community at
large, through year-round aware-
ness efforts, fundraising activities,
and advocacy programs.
On Saturday, coach Bill Self
and Kansas State coach Frank
Martin were two of the many
coaches across the country who
participated.
Martin said it is huge for him
to be a part of something like
this.
Cancers that dreaded evil,
Martin said. Weve been trying
as a society, across the world, to
fight it and overcome it and weve
made tremendous progress, but
every other incredible disease
thats existed, weve found a cure
for.
According to the American
Cancer Society, there were
1,529,560 new cases of cancer
in the United States in 2010, It
reported that 13,550 of the cases
were in Kansas.
Self said Coaches vs. Cancer
helps people because it brings
attention to the disease. Martin
agrees and wants to use his posi-
tion in college basketball to bring
light to cancer.
I can tell you as coaches were
competitors and we are very unit-
ed in trying to do everything that
we can because of the stage that
we live on. [Were committed] to
do everything we can to fight that
thing, Martin said.

Fredette shoots past competition
moRNINg bREW
Y
ou can talk all you want about
Kemba Walker or Marcus Morris,
but the statistical anomaly of
the 2010-2011 college basketball season is
Jimmer Fredette.
The 62, 195-pound guard from Glens
Falls, N.Y., was not highly-touted out of high
school. He was a three-star player, according
to rivals, and he did not have one scholarship
offer from a BCS program.
The senior at BYU is putting up Stephen
Curry-esque numbers for the Cougars this
season. Fredette is playing 34.2 minutes a
game and averaging 27.6 points a game. The
amazing thing about Fredettes numbers are
the field goal percentages he has, to go along
with the large number of points he has been
scoring.
Fredette is shooting 48.1 percent from the
field and 43.4 percent from the three-point
line. He has not been shying away from tak-
ing long-range shots, either. He has taken
164 threes and made 69 of them. Compare
that to only 108 threes taken by Tyrel Reed,
who is shooting at 38 percent this season.
It now appears The Jimmer has fully
caught the eye of ESPN and the media.
The Thursday morning headline under the
ESPN home page for NCAA Basketball read
The Aztecs get Jimmered. Fredette has also
been blowing up on twitter.com, and Sports
Illustrated writer Seth Davis recently joked
about Fredettes amazing ability, saying, The
Jimmer doesnt flush toilets, he simply scares
the crap out of them.
Sportscaster Dick Vitale was more serious
when he posted his tweet on twitter.com, say-
ing, Get the PoY trophy 4 Jimmer-Fredette
time vs San Diego St @RealJayWIlliam 43
baby!
Translation: Jimmer Fredette deserves the
Player of the Year award after his 43-point
performance against #4 San Diego State.
Its hard to disagree with Mr. Vitale. Sorry
Kemba, but Fredette has been putting on
one hell of a show. Its one thing to put up
these incredible numbers against some of
the lesser competetion BYU faces, but The
Jimmer has been saving his best perfor-
mances for the Cougars biggest games.
In a game BYU won against Arizona
earlier in the season, , Fredette finished
with 33 points and nine rebounds. Against
Utah, who has been struggling this season,
Fredette put up an impressive 47 points and
had six assists. And recently, when the one-
loss Cougars knocked off undefeated San
Diego State, Jimmer contributed 43 points to
the BYU victory.
After watching Fredettes mesmerizing
performance against San Diego State, NBA
star Kevin Durant also chimed in on the
compelling game. Jimmer Fredette is the
best scorer in the world!!, Durant said on
twitter.com
So this is a warning in advance for Jayhawk
Nation:if the Jayhawks happen to face off
against the Cougars in the tourney, Fredette
could and most certainly would create some
major issues for the Jayhawks.
Yes, the Jayhawks have good defenders to
throw at Fredette, like Tyshawn Taylor and
Brady Morningstar, but the Jayhawks have
given up big points to guards throughout
the year. Texas guard JCovan Brown had 23
points against Kansas, and Iowa State guard
Diante Garrett had 27.
If the Jayhawks want to go far in the tour-
ney this year, they better either hope they
dont face BYU, or learn how to shut down
strong guards.
Jimmer Fredette is the best player in the
country, and he will most certainly create
major problems for all of his opponents from
here on out.

right-hand of each page. Pressing
the button brings Mr. Vitale right
to the hands of children.
Give me a high fve baby! the
book sounds as he pressed the but-
ton for a demonstration. He says
it is really important to have the
right attitude when beginning to
read, and he feels his book will
give kids that attitude.
He soon plans on having a moti-
vational book for 7 to 12 year-olds
that will address the importance
of pride and passion in life. Tese
qualities can be seen on his face
and heard in his voice whenever
he talks. Not just about basketball,
but anything under the sun.
What I do is so small on the
scale of importance of life, he said
before getting called by producers
for his ESPN spot, but what I do,
I do to the best of my ability. I do it
with my heart and my spirit.
Tats who he is, ftting that this
is the man behind the voice.
Back to what he came to Law-
rence for. Basketball. A rivalry.
Easy subject to transition to for
him.
He not only has called games
for years, but he was a successful
college and professional coach and
was inducted into the Naismith
Memorial Hall of Fame in 2008.
Although he didnt have a predic-
tion for the game on Saturday, he
did relate to someone elses opin-
ion of the Sunfower Showdown.
Lately you almost have to agree
with Tyshawn Taylor when he said
Wheres our rivalry? To me, you
gotta win your share of games,
I mean for a rivalry fan wise, ex-
citement, yes, but scoring wise its
been all Kansas.
He must know what he is talk-
ing about. Kansas outscored Kan-
sas State by 24 points.
Afer he had fnished his dinner,
some of it ending up on his shirt
being that he was in a rush, he be-
gan talking with some friends who
had come to town for the game. He
told them they were really going
to enjoy this place--Allen Field-
house--as he was slowly corralled
out of the room by producers.

Thousands of Jayhawk fans flled Allen Fieldhouse Saturday for ESPN College GameDay. Saturday
marked the fourth time Allen Fieldhouse hosted College GameDay in the shows seven-year history.
ESPN College GameDay in the Phog

Kansas played much of the
game without sophomore for-
ward Carolyn Davis who ran
into early foul trouble with no
points and two fouls at the end
of the first half. She has been
leading the Jayhawks in scoring
this season.
Sophomore Monica Engelman
stepped up and scored 18 points
to lead Kansas in this game.
It was tough to sit on the
bench that long, Davis said
in the post-game press confer-
ence.
Fouls doomed the Jayhawks
as three players fouled out and
the Wildcats were allowed 30
attempts at the free-throw line.
Without a significant inside
game, the Jayhawks never led
the game and claimed
a season low in defen-
sive rebounds.
In a rivalry game on
the road, Kansas con-
tinued their five-game
slide with a 65-60
loss to Kansas State
University. Kansas fell
to 14-7 on the season
and 1-6 in conference
play.
Engelman had a
strong game overall,
pulling down five
rebounds and adding
two assists. Engelman
kept the Jayhawks in
the game with con-
sistency on both sides
of the floor with 8-11
shooting.
I feel like I stayed
pretty confident in
my teammates and I
feel like for myself I
stepped up, Engelman
said after the game. I
did not feel like there
was any burden for
me to score.
The Jayhawks were aggressive
in a game where they established
an eight-player rotation and all
eight players scored at least one
basket in a 45.3 percent effort
from field goal range.
Kansas only recorded 11
turnovers, the lowest in the last
13 games. This is an issue the
Jayhawks have been working on
all season and are finally start-
ing to see results.
I felt like
we made
some prog-
ress from
a couple of
standpoi nts
and compet-
ing in the
long run,
coach Bonnie
Henri ckson
said. I think that we learned
to do our job and embrace our
rolls.
Next game, Kansas will host
Colorado on Wednesday at 7
p.m. The Jayhawks garnered
their only conference vic-
tory against the Buffaloes in
Boulder.

Wayne Simien, arguably the
best post player in Kansas history
not named Wilt Chamberlain, saw
his jersey hung in the rafters at
halftime Saturday night. How fit-
ting, then, that it was Kansas
current post players, at least one
of whom has an excellent chance
of hanging his own jersey in those
rafters someday, that carried the
torch for Kansas in a 90-66 shel-
lacking of rival Kansas State.
And as good as the Morris
twins were very good: 30
points on 12-of-16 shooting and
18 rebounds Saturday was once
again about Thomas Robinson.
But this time it was about his pres-
ence on the court just as much as
the tumult hes endured off of it.
This was an
extra special
game, coach
Bill Self said,
not because it
was K-State, but
because it was
the first game
that hes had an
opportunity to
really play for
his mother.
It was unclear whether
Robinson would even play until
late Thursday night, but some-
how, after losing his mother Lisa
and both his maternal grandpar-
ents, he played. Then, sporting a
black and white LR patch on his
left shoulder, he put on the per-
formance of his career, finishing
with 17 points on 7-of-11 shoot-
ing and nine boards.
I played tonight because I cant
sit around for too long, Robinson
said. I know my mother wouldnt
want me to sit around crying for-
ever.
After struggling in the early
going, missing a dunk and a cou-
ple shots from in close, Robinson
found his range early in the sec-
ond half. With four points on
two consecutive possessions five
minutes after the half, Robinson
jacked up an 18-footer he
called it a heat check which
under normal circumstances
would have found him deeply
ensconced on the bench shortly
after. But Saturday wasnt nor-
mal, so when the heat check
went in, Self laughed it off, like
he laughed off the technical
Robinson picked up after hang-
ing on the rim too long after a
dunk.
That was a special deal for
him, Self said. And of course
the fans here are incredible, how
they recognized him when he
checked in and how they recog-
nized him when he checked out.
Thats a special moment. Thats
one that hell never forget.
Collectively, it was the best
performance
of the season,
e s p e c i a l l y
consi deri ng
that Kansas
States front-
court, even
after all the
Wi l d c a t s
struggles, is
regarded as
one of the
best in the Big 12. For Kansas to
lay down a 24-point beating, it
took a near-perfect effort from
the Morris twins and Thomas
Robinson.
And near perfect is what they
gave. Aside from the domi-
nant offensive performance,
the Jayhawks frontcourt stifled
the Wildcat posts, who totaled
just 15 points among the four
of them.
Our bigs were really good,
Self said.

Entering the room, there was not
a person who didnt receive a greet-
ing. Strong handshake, a warm,
somewhat loud, Hey how are ya!
in a voice instantly recognizable
not for its clarity or sharpness, but
for its rough, three-days-of-yelling-
without-a-drink-of-water quality.
Dick Vitale, Dickie V, or as one
of his friends pronounced it Vi-ta-
ley, like an Italian word for vital-
ity (actually vi-
talit), returned
to Lawrence
on Saturday to
commentate the
Kansas vs. Kan-
sas State game.
More specifcal-
ly, he returned
to Allen Field-
house where he
reveled in the spirit and atmosphere
that he calls a top fve venue in
the country (he doesnt like to rank
these things).
I still get goose bumps in this
place when they start that Rock
Chalk chant, Vitale said afer liken-
ing Allen Field House to other hall-
mark sports facilities like Wrigley
Field and Fenway Park.
He said the passion that comes
from the city of Lawrence as a whole
for the University makes it one of
the few true college towns in his
opinion.
Although his trips through Law-
rence are normally packaged like
the chicken dinner he was hustling
to eat before appearing on ESPN for
his pre-game analysis-- everything
is pre-planned and oprganized to
a T--he is reminded every time he
goes home about his trips to Law-
rence.
Sitting just to the right of his desk
in his home ofce sits a two-foot-tall
bronze statue of a Jayhawk. He was
surprised with this gif at halfime
of a Kansas game three years ago.
He said it was a complete surprise
and was a touching moment in his
long career.
Imagine, Vitale joined ESPN in
1979 and called the frst ever college
basketball game televised on the
network. College basketball, along
with its passion, has always been
accompanied with Vitales voice on
ESPN.
And hes not slowing down.
Passion is vital, Vitale said.
Te day comes I dont have that
excitement for sitting here and be-
ing courtside, nobody is going to
have to tell me, Ill wake up that one
morning, grab the phone, call my
boss, partys over.
But for now, hes never been bet-
ter. He said he could match the en-
ergy of any young fan in the stands
of Allen Fieldhouse. His passion, his
lifes work, has now also turned into
a way to reach out to people.
He tours the country giving mo-
tivational speeches and his message
is simple. Passion is the key to suc-
cess. If you are passionate about
what you do, good things are going
to happen, he said.
One of the things Vitale has been
fervent about is his contributions
and role with raising money for pe-
diatric cancer research and the V
Foundation for Cancer Research,
named afer legendary North Caro-
lina coach, Jim Valvano.
Last year Vitale published Dick-
ie Vs ABCs and 1-2-3s. Proceeds
from the childrens book designed to
give kids a fun start with reading go
