Ending fear between estranged nations

BY STEPHANIE SCHULTZ
SSCHULTZ@KANSAN.COM The moment Goran Sabah Ghafour stepped off the plane in America, ideas were already filling his head. He immediately began to observe, interact and question people with the intent to write a book to try to break stereotypes between Middle Eastern and American people. Ghafour, a graduate student from Kurdistan, Iraq, came to America to study international standards of media with plans of returning to Kurdistan after graduation to teach others what he learned. The Kurdistan region really needs faculty, especially in the field of media, Ghafour said. Media in that part of Iraq is really kind of unprofessional. While living in America, Ghafour wrote a book titled Iraqi Fulbrighter: Removing Fear & Hatred Between American & Middle Eastern People, which aimed to correct wrong stereotypes about Middle Eastern and American people. Ghafours 21-chapter book uses true stories to try to tell Middle Eastern and American people how to understand each other, approach each other, live together and accept tolerance. Middle Eastern people think that in American culture they dont have the idea of marriage, or the idea of marriage has faded away, Ghafour said. And for Americans, they think that Middle Eastern people may have a connection with terrorists. Geri Lamer, program coordinator at the Applied English Center, likes hearing Ghafours stories. The stories he tells and the things that he sees that I dont are just very interesting, she said. He just has a way of seeing things and being interested in everything and everywhere and in everyone. The book was finished in about five months, but dealing with such a complicated subject made the book difficult to finish so quickly, Ghafour said. Aaron Huerter, program assistant at the Applied English Center, was impressed with Ghafours drive to finish the book in such a short amount of time. It just shows how motivated he was just to get this down and to show it to people who could read it, Huerter said. The book is available on www.publishamerica.net and will be available in the KU bookstore soon, Ghafour said. There will also be a book signing in the KU Bookstore in the Kansas Union on April 7. -Edited by Amanda Sorell

Health strategies help sustain a disease-free day care

JINGBER@KANSAN.COM Students and staff at KUs Edna A. Hill Child Development Center (CDC) are using disease prevention strategies to help teach more than 60 children enrolled in the program ways to sustain a healthy lifestyle thats free of disease. Last month, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department confirmed seven cases of pertussis, also known as whooping cough, in children from Lawrence day care facilities.

BY JAY INGBER

According to Ashley Kingsley, program coordinator, the CDC has not reported any cases of the disease yet this year. Because we require proper health forms from all of our teachers and immunizations for our children, its not really something that has come up, Kingsley said. Pertussis is a contagious, bacterial, respiratory disease thats spread by coughing or sneezing in close contact with others. While immunization is enforced by the state of Kansas and the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, Kingsley is confi-

dent that CDC staff will make smart and mindful decisions when working with children. I think it comes down to using good judgment and recognizing what the safety and health standards are and making sure to always follow those, Kingsley said. Jen Berman, a junior from Dallas, works with toddlers at the Hilltop Child Development Center, another child care facility on the KU campus. According to its website, Hilltop provides students interested in working with children the opportunity to

Last year saw a small drop in the overall number of students who particpated in summer study abroad programs, possibly because of the recession. The Office of Study Abroad reports that applications this year surpass the numbers of students who studied abroad in summer 2009, suggesting that more students will go on programs this summer than last. However, the OSA also noted that this number will go up and down as students send in late applications and others drop out of programs. The exact number wont be available until the end of summer.

Dyche Hall sixth floor closed a year for renovations

mlush@kansan.com Visitors to the Natural History Museum located in Dyche Hall will not be able to see the sixth floor for about a year, as it is closed for renovations to prepare for the addition of several new exhibits. The renovations include creating more exhibit space by raising ceilings and pushing exisiting exhibit walls backwards. The museum, which is run by the University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute, plans to add four new exhibits to the sixth floor: One displaying skulls of different mammals, one showing the information of how the Biodiversity Institute conducts its research, one displaying cleared and stained specimens and another displaying the biodiversity of plant and animal life around the world. According to the Biodiversity Institutes website, clearing and staining is the process of using a digestive enzyme called Trypsin to turn specimens translucent. Scientists then use red dye to designate bone or hard tissue in the specimen and use blue dye for soft tissue. This allows scientists to study the skeletal and skin structures of animals. All of the specimens and artifacts that will be put on display are currently part of the Biodiversity Institutes collection, which includes

The rain sprinkles the steps of the Natural History Museum Tuesday morning. The museum will be adding a new exhibit on the sixth floor soon. more than 8 million different specimens, as well as approximately 2.2 million artifacts. Jen Humphrey, communications officer for the Biodiversity Institute, said it likes to use its reserve specimens for display when possible. Benjamin and Margaret Hall donated $100,000 for the renovations and new exhibits in honor of Benjamins father, the late E. Baynard Hall, a former director of the museum who studied mammals at the University Humphrey said the Halls asked that their donation be used to create an exhibit for mammals in honor of his father. She said the rest of the costs needed for renovations were being covered by other private donors. Humphrey said she was excited for the teaching opportunities the exhibits could provide. Any time we can offer something new to the public and allow them to see animals and plants in a new light is a fantastic opportunity, she said. The new additions will enhance only the sixth floor, which Humphrey says is already one of the most popular floors in the museum. Also displayed on the sixth floor is the Biodiversity Institutes collection of snakes and bees. Humphrey also said that the museum was a vital part of the Univer-

Matthew Gonzales, a senior from Topeka, works in the lobby of the museum and said he has been surprised with how far some people travel to see the museum. He said one time a lady came all the way from the United Kingdom to see Comanche, a stuffed horse that the museum has on display. I think the museum is extremely valuable to the school, not a lot of schools have something like this on their campus, Gonzales said. The fact that its also a research institution is pretty cool.

Winning helps testosterone levels for male wrestlers

By KATAShA KUMAr kkumar@kansan.com As if a victorious wrestler isnt intimidating enough in himself, recent studies show that he may have an extra boost of testosterone driving him in the ring. Andrew Fry, professor and chairman of health, sport and exercise sciences, conducted research on Penn States wrestling team, among others, looking for a correlation between the success level of wrestlers and their testosterone levels. He found that wrestlers who won matches had significantly higher testosterone levels than those who lost. Additionally, the research team proved that having higher levels throughout the season positively affected the wrestlers mentally and built up their esteem. Wrestling teams can use these findings to strategically set their tournament schedules. The scheduling and how you arrange it could be very important, Fry said. Fry said that the scheduling

Multiple bills went through the committee quickly because all of the buzz and controversy surrounded line and block allocations and fee review. Line and block allocations occur every two years and address larger entities that are funded through Senate. The student fee review subcommittee also made recommendations on all student fees. ed legislation to allocate $612,678 from the student activity fee for the block budget. Finance committee originally discussed removing certain social services from block funding because it said those services were not considered an activity and it should not fund them. An amendment was made to the bill to strike the lines that would deny funding for the douglas County AIdS Project, Gadugi Safe Center and headquarters Counseling Center. Those services will receive funding for one more year, while the willow domestic Violence Center will not. mittee suggested an increase in 17 areas within student fees. however, committee chair Mark Pacey said the fee increases were offset by a significant amount of decreases that would ultimately result in a 0 percent increase from the current total of $428.95 per student.

Phil Collins quits music

Mcclatchy-tribune
LOS ANGELES Phil Collins fully intends to quit music just not for the reasons people may think. After a barrage of headlines reporting his motivations for quitting some said it was the result of bad reviews, feeling unloved by fans and poor treatment by the press the British singer, drummer and actor took to his official website to clear the air. Writing that he felt the media were painting a picture of me that is more than a little distorted, the 60-year-old said he was most confused that his retirement was such a major story, since he hadnt spoken to anybody in the press for a few months. Collins broke down his reasons for walking away from his more than four-decade career, which includes multiplatinum success both as a solo

Whether or not Collins ever sets foot onstage again is to be determined.

Pee-Wee Herman is back on HBO

Mcclatchy -tribune
PASADENA, Calif. Reports of his death were grossly exaggerated, as Pee-Wee Herman has risen again. It just goes to prove you cant keep a good man-child down. The character in the tight gray suit, red bowtie and short-cropped hair has been resurrected on Broadway and is now a special on HBO, The Pee-Wee Herman Show on Broadway, premiering March 19. When Herman, whose real name is Paul Reubens, was arrested for indecent exposure 20 years ago, the media sounded the death knell for the character who was born when Reubens joined the improv group the Groundlings. That wiggly, whimsical creature went on to star on the kids TV series, Pee-Wees Playhouse and in several movies, which followed the romps of the waiflike comic. Reubens says hes not sure why Pee-Wee is suddenly in favor again. I really dont know. I mean, certain things, they just come back. Its cyclical, you know. If you wait long enough, these suits come back and this tie comes back, and I think thats whats happened. You know, I just waited long enough. And now, all the people seem to like it again. The 58-year-old always longed to be an actor. It was just something I wanted to do from the time I can remember from being 3, 4, 5 years old. I watched a lot of television and was really envious of Ron Howard (Mayberry, RFD) and Kevin Corcoran (Old Yeller), and I just couldnt wait to get to Hollywood, he says. Reubens says he had no idea his eccentric character would last. If anyone would have told me Id be doing this 30 years later, I would have laughed. But now, you know, now I plan on doing it 30 years from now, when Im 140.

Stop Phelps rhetoric; start ignoring his message

it the very thing it desires most: the spotlight. By design, the public behavior displayed by the Phelps family seeks to draw local and national attention. For this, the Phelpses have achieved tremendous success. Their hateful words alone are not what brings them such fame; rather, it is the angry responses of offended citizens that put the Westboro Baptist Church in the headlines time and time again. While many well-meaning people may attempt to publicly condemn the church in an effort to silence its rhetoric, these efforts only make it clear to the Phelps family that its actions are making an impact and are thus, in minds of its members, justified. If Kansans want the members of the church to be silenced, then they must first cease acknowledging their efforts to gain attention. Language can be powerful if it is skillfully used, and it can be destructive when used for malevolent and bigoted purposes. But words only have power if other people listen to them; the absence of an audience drains language of all its power, no matter how loud and vicious it is in nature. Much akin to the mannerisms of a screaming child in the throes of a tantrum, the Phelps family desires our attention and has obtained it through clamorous and obnoxious behavior that is difficult to ignore. Those who have been hurt and ridiculed by the church are rightfully justified in their moral outrage and their desire to silence the churchs hateful message, but confrontation only fuels the flames of hatred. The Phelps family works to provoke an endless cycle of anger and hate, and responding to it with such emotions only gives it the attention it seeks. If the citizens of Kansas wish for the Westboro Baptist Church to stop bringing shame and disrespect to their state, then they should stop acknowledging the hateful language of its members. The Supreme Court has decided that the Phelps family has a right to its hateful speech, but it is important to remember that we also have a right to not listen. Spencer Davidson for the Kansan Editorial Board.

Phelps Westboro Baptist Church known across the nation for its antihomosexual rhetoric has once again found the national spotlight after the Supreme Court voted 8-1 to protect its right to protest at military funerals. While this result has sparked debate regarding the ethics of free speech, it has also brought national attention to the Phelps family and its hateful messages. Little can be accomplished in publicly criticizing the church and its message. Kansans must realize that attempting to denounce the Phelps family only works to bring attention to the family and its rhetoric. While angrily criticizing the Westboro Baptist Church is a natural step for most concerned and offended citizens, all of the negative emotions it provokes within us subsequently give

Corporate tax avoidance one cause of shortfalls

How much money do you have in your wallet? No matter how much or how little - its more than General Electric, ExxonMobil, Citibank and the Bank of America pay in taxes, according to Carl Gibson, founder of US Uncut. Gutting services to vulnerable groups in the name of deficit reduction is both immoral and inefficient. There are other options for solving the budget and economy crises were in, and I want to look into one of the big ones corporate tax avoidance. The Government Accountability Office, an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress, said that nearly two-thirds of U.S. companies pay no federal taxes. They make enormous sums of money within the U.S. and give back nothing to the federal government. This results in hundreds of billions of dollars in lost revenue. How do they do this? The answers are complicated. Sometimes corporations will say one individual made a profit but it wasnt related to the company, or theyll keep their money offshore, or they will keep an office in another country and declare themselves to be a multinational corporation, or they manipulate their numbers in other ways to make it look as if there was no profit. Even if we werent facing these difficult economic times, corporate tax avoidances would still be ethically wrong. Corporations have the privilege of selling here, making profits and writing off employee health insurance, and they are able to donate to political campaigns. The government even bailed out some of these companies. As Johann Hari of UK Uncut said, they also enjoy the same basic benefits of regular taxpayers: streets, police and garbage collection. Except for taxpayers, these arent really benefits. Taxpayers work and pay for these services.

This is not fair. There are billions of dollars in uncollected taxes, and that has consequences. The American people deserve to keep our poison control centers and maternal health grants. People deserve arts programs and PBS. People deserve schools that are open. People deserve the security of their food stamps and Medicaid and unemployment insurance, especially in these tough times. We deserve to do what we can for ourselves and know that the government will do what we cant alone. Though Congress and Obama want to cut funding for social services, the public doesnt. This is because the public uses these programs. Indeed, polls such as the one from 60 Minutes and Vanity Fair show that the most popular solution to the economy was to increase taxes on the rich, which can be translated into corporations. If Congress and the White House really want to save the economy, ensure fairness and give the public what they are owed, they will listen to their constituents and focus on the missing cash from the federal budget that should already be there. Then they can see how big of a budget shortfall exists. Its ludicrous that defunding public health programs is the first solution that occurs to our politicians.

Green-washing marks good start for companies

In an interview with USA Today, Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz was asked to describe his company 40 years from now. He said, In 40 years, the core of our mission will still be about achieving that fragile balance between profitability and social conscience. Without the latter, the former is unsustainable. In so many ways and a thousand times a day, media are telling us what to value, and increasingly that message has been centered on social and environmental responsibility. Its true that in some cases companies are green-washing: They are making environmental claims that arent completely accurate. However, it could be argued that these messages are still beneficial, that this new focus on respecting our natural resources and recognizing our place in a global citizenship is changing the way that we think about our world. Last week, Indra Nooyi, chairwoman and CEO of PepsiCo, spoke at the TED Conference. Nooyi used her time on the TED stage to tout her companys Performance with Purpose and Pepsi Refresh programs. These programs are designed to highlight Pepsis commitment to environmental stewardship and support for nonprofit organizations. Nooyis talk has been criticized for highlighting the $20 million Pepsi donated to local non-profit and community organizations but failing to address major issues like water scarcity and plastic waste pollution. While this may be a valid critique, the fact is that Nooyi had approximately 15 minutes to make an impression on millions of TED viewers around the world, and she chose to speak about Pepsis commitment to positive social change. In the grand scheme of things, is this really a horrible message to send? In a society over-run by consumerism, diseased by stress and isolated from community, we need as many positive messages as we can get. The

By rAeAnn hAndshy
rhandshy@kansan.com more committed our corporations are to expressing value for real people and our planet, the more our collective mindset shifts. These statements about what we should be valuing as individuals and as a community are gradually creating a new set of standards for health, safety and environmental issues. While some messages may be misguided or exaggerated, the priorities they communicate are sinking into our psyche and changing the way we value life. This revolution of thought and values is slow but every commercial, magazine, ad and newspaper article that promotes values of equality, respect, compassion and responsibility makes a tiny impression. While transparency is necessary for a truly sustainable marketplace and legitimate efforts must be made to affect real change, this initial priority shift is a necessary first step Consumers who value social and environmental accountability will expose the green-washers. A society that values human rights over the latest fashion will determine responsible supply chains and educated moms who demand safe toys will influence industry production methods. Our values are shifting and although their execution may not be perfect, corporate messages of responsibility are helping to transform our society. Handshy is a first year MBA student from Lawrence.

When the Kansas womens basketball team saw its 13-point lead in the first half shrink to three, it did something unusual. Instead of relying on sophomore forward Carolyn Davis to bring it back, they Jayhawks spread the ball around. In the end, their balanced attack led to a 71-45 victory over Colorado on Tuesday in the first round of the Big 12 tournament. Sophomore guard Monica Engelman led the team with 17 points, but the players found its spark on the bench. Freshman guard Keena Mays hit a key threepoint shot to put the Jayhawks up by six, with 16 minutes left in the game. The Jayhawks never looked back, going on a 21-4 run over the next nine minutes.

Even with her time limited because of fouls, Davis still managed 16 points and 11 rebounds in the game for her seventh doubledouble of the season. Davis was especially active on the offensive, grabbing five of her rebounds off them. With Davis limited, senior forward Kristen Boogaard stepped in from the bench and added two assists and one steal for the team. When you play in a tournament like this, in the format where its one after another and another, you need some kids off the bench who are going to be able to contribute, not just rest guys, Henrickson said. And those two did great. Edited by Caroline Bledowski

Nothing to lose this weekend

ans didnt need any more proof of the hypocrisy filling the offices of 700 W. Washington St. in Indianapolis, but they got more anyway. Thats the headquarters of the NCAA, by the way, and the hypocrisy is the post-season conference basketball tournaments. The Big 12 regular season was 16 games and lasted nearly 12 months. The best team was crowned champion, and now what? We have another three or four games to decide a conference tournament champion. Name another sport at any level that finishes a regular season with a conference or division tournament before the actual playoffs start. You cant, because it doesnt happen. But in the NCAA, the term student athlete is championed around to cover up the real term for basketball players: cash cows. Thats where conference tournaments come into play. But dont take my

UConn clinches Big East

associated press
HARTFORD, Conn. Stefanie Dolson scored 24 points and Maya Moore added 22 to help No. 1 Connecticut win its fourth straight Big East tournament championship with a 73-64 victory over 10th-ranked Notre Dame on Tuesday night. UConn (32-1) has won 20 straight games since losing to Stanford on Dec. 30 to snap the Huskies record 90-game winning streak. It was the 21st time in the past 23 seasons that they were in the championship game. The Huskies have won 17 Big East championships overall. While UConn has been a frequent visitor to the tournament title game, Notre Dame was making its first trip to the championship since 2001 when the Irish lost to UConn on a buzzer-beater by Sue Bird. The Irish still have yet to win a championship in five attempts. Natalie Novosel scored 17 points to lead Notre Dame (26-7). Leading 41-40 early in the second half, UConn went on an 11-0 run to break open a close game. Moore, who earned tournament MVP honors for the second time in her stellar career, had three points and two assists during the burst. She also had a huge block on Skylar Diggins drive that led to an easy layup on the other end by Bria Hartley. Moore followed that with a 3-pointer from the corner with 12:44 left to cap the spurt and tie her with Penn State great Kelly Mazzante for ninth place on the career NCAA scoring list with 2,919 points. Notre Dame didnt go away, going on a 15-6 spurt to close to 58-55 with 5:07 left. Novosel, who had left the game at the end of UConns spurt, returned a few minutes later and scored the final seven points of the Irishs burst. Moore wouldnt let Notre Dame get any closer, hitting a jumper from the corner to move past Mazzante. Dolson followed with a layup to restore the seven-point lead. The 6-foot-5 freshman center matched her career-high set two days earlier against Georgetown. The Irish couldnt get within five the rest of the game. Moore became only the second two-time MVP of the tournament, joining former UConn great Kara Wolters (1995 and 1996). Moore also won the award as a sophomore. She became just the second player in conference history to win both the regular season and postseason MVP awards in the same year. Shelly Pennefather of Villanova was the only other player to do it. It was the Huskies 81st consecutive victory at home and 69th straight conference win.

By kory carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com word for it. Conference tournaments, North Carolina coach Roy Williams once said, are nothing more than a big cocktail party for the alumni. And he was right. A conference tournament championship is more prestigious than a Tuesday afternoon scrimmage win but well behind a regular season conference title. Its somewhere in the middle of those two. Unless, of course, your team is on the bubble and needs to win the conference tournament to clinch

an NCAA tournament berth. Thats just another case of the NCAA adding significance to an otherwise insignificant event in an attempt to legitimize it. Also, if youre reading this, youre probably a Kansas basketball fan. And theres a great chance you dont remember Kansas ever missing the big dance, so youve never needed the Jayhawks to win the conference tournament to avoid the NIT. While Texas Tech, Iowa State, and Oklahoma are battling for the conference tournament championship and the automatic NCAA bid this week, just know that Kansas fate is all but sealed before the party starts on Wednesday. So take your old coachs advice and enjoy a cocktail, because a No. 1 seed is all but locked up already. Edited by Becca Harsch

Lets adopt the Ivy Leagues way

T
hirty-one conferences receive automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament. Thirty of those conferences have season-ending tournaments to decide which school receives the bid. The lone conference that doesnt have a tournament: The Ivy League. Jesse Newell of the Lawrence Journal-World said the Ivy League, as good as its academics are, was smart enough to not have a conference tournament. And hes right. It is the only conference that makes sure the conference season is important. As of 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, eight automatic bids have been finalized. Of those eight teams, only one, Belmont, won the conference regular season and the postseason tournament. The spread of the other seven is four twoseeds, two three-seeds and a four-seed. For the larger conferences, this isnt a big deal because the top seed will most likely receive an at-large bid. But for the midmajor conferences like the Missouri Valley Conference, that league will most likely only receive one bid. This season, Indiana State won the MVC tournament on Sunday and looks to be the only school from the conference going to the Big Dance. This is coming mlavieri@kansan.com twitter.com/kansanbball after it finished third in the league and then knocked off Missouri State, which finished first in the league, in the finals and Wichita State, which finished second, in the semifinals. For Missouri State, it looked liked it was going to the NCAA tournament until Sundays loss. Now it looks like it will be heading to the NIT. For Indiana State, it had no chance of making the NCAA Tournament or the NIT, but somehow managed to put it together for three straight games. If not all conferences, then most, need to conform to the Ivy League. There is a reason six of the eight schools are in U.S. News Top 10 for best universities in academics; all eight are in the Top 15. No other conference can say

that 100 percent of its schools are that smart. People want to complain about the BCS and how it should go to a playoff system, but that just places more focus on the end-of-season tournament instead of the regular season. There is a reason that one loss in college football might mean the end of championship hopes, because every game is important. That is the way it should work in college basketball, where every conference game means something. Edited by Corey Thibodeaux

Former Kansas point guard Sherron Collins lost a chance to return to the Charlotte Bobcats when he missed two flights scheduled by the organization that were meant to bring him back to the team from his home of Chicago. Collins returned home to Chicago after being waived by the Bobcats on Feb. 24 Collins to clear space for trade deadline acquisitions. Collins had been serving as the third point guard behind d.J. Augustin and Shaun Livingston for Charlotte, averaging 3.3 minutes and just shy of one point per game. Charlotte coach Paul Silas told the Associated Press that the Bobcats planned to bring Collins back to the team, but withdrew the offer after he missed the flights. That was kind of it, Silas said. Charlotte signed NBdL player Garret Temple to a 10day contract to fill the spot.

Charles Barkley has been lobbing verbal grenades for more than a decade as an NBA studio analyst for TNT, making him one of the most colorful, controversial figures in sports television. Now its the college games turn. Appearing at a CBS/Turner breakfast to discuss the new-look NCAA Tournament on Tuesday, Barkley promised to cover more than just brackets and buzzer-beaters next week. Im going to talk about the games, but when I met with the NCAA, I said, At some point we are going to have to talk about graduation rates on these damn games, he said. We cant go three weeks just talking about basketball and everybody gets paid and we have a bunch of dummies running around out there. Barkley held court for more than 30 minutes, offering quotable variations on his theme: That colleges do a disservice to athletes by not taking their education more seriously, and that oneyear-and-done players weaken both the NCAA and NBA. One of the reasons I took this job was there are some things I want to say, Barkley said. I dont have to do this job, OK?

We just gave these damn people 11 billion dollars. Theyre not paying the players. Im not going to go on a rant about where the money goes, but they have an obligation to graduate these players. Barkley said he is especially concerned about the effects on black students with unrealistic expectations of pro success. Not to make it racial, but it has a really negative effect on the black community, because the majority of these players are black, he said. Theyre not going to make it in the NBA. Theyre not getting educated. Then we expect them to raise their families uneducated. Barkley said having star collegians leave before they are physically mature also hurts the NBA, where bad teams should benefit more than they do from infusions of young talent. So, as usual, the floor is yours, Sir Charles: The problem is were all pigs. College is just trying to get theirs. The NBA is trying to get theirs. The agents are trying to get theirs. Everybody is just concerned about their thing. We have to reach a happy medium. We need to help college basketball. They need to help us. But right now, everybody is just being a pig.

HOLLAND, Mich. There might have been more laughs than tears at the funeral of Wes Leonard, a 16-year-old basketball star from Fennville. And that seems fitting. Because Wes was a fun-loving kid who made everybody smile and laugh. Leonard, 16, died Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest because of an enlarged heart. He collapsed after making the winning basket to save a perfect season for the Fennville basketball team. More than 1,500 attended the funeral Tuesday morning at Christ Memorial Church in Holland. Many wore black and orange, the school colors. The service was organized like a football game, with four quarters, a halftime video tribute and a final victory. Before the service, a photo tribute showed a teenager living life to the fullest: with his parents, his brother, his friends and his teammates. Players from the Fennville basketball team entered the church walking side by side, the same way they entered DeVos Fieldhouse on Monday night before a Class C district game against Lawrence. The funeral started less than 15 hours after Fennvilles emotional victory

The Cornhuskers were far more frustrating in the season than the Cowboys, so you know who the Jayhawks want to win. Nebraska has more to play for at this point, considering that with an upset in the second round against Kansas, it might be able to find itself on the right side of the bubble. A pair of third team All-Big 12 players makes an appearance in this one: Lance Jeter of Nebraska and Marshall Moses of Oklahoma State. Jeter will face off with diminutive Oklahoma State point guard Keiton Page in what should be the best head-to-head matchup of the game.

Colorado is firmly planted on the bubble, appearing as the first team out or the last team in the field of 68 in both SI.com (out) and ESPN.coms (in) mock brackets. A loss to Iowa State not unthinkable, considering the Buffs lost to the Cyclones a little more than a week ago would be fatal to their tourney hopes. Whichever team advances has the unfriendly draw of Kansas State, which is hotter than any team in the conference coming into the post-season. Colorado swept Kansas State in the regular season, and the Wildcats would no doubt dearly love another shot for revenge.

Baylor vastly underachieved and fell to seventh in the conference this season, while the Sooners overachieved (yes, really) and got to 10th. All that means is that there is a huge gap in the talent level on the teams, with Baylor sporting a first team All-Big 12 player in LaceDarius Dunn, the Big 12 sixth man of the year in Quincy Acy, and All-Big 12 second teamer and the leagues best NBA prospect in Perry Jones III. Meanwhile, Cade Davis and Andrew Fitzgerald who both garnered only honorable mention All-Big 12 lead the Sooners. Even though Baylor is more talented, the two split the season series.

If this game were played any farther away from the Mizzou campus than Kansas City, Mo., Id be picking against the Tigers. Theyve been nothing short of awful away from home, but within the friendly confines of the state, Missouri is tough to beat. Led by All-Big 12 first teamer Marcus Denmon, the Tigers have lost twice in the state this season, once to Kansas and once in the very same Sprint Center theyll play in Wednesday to then-No. 14 Georgetown in overtime. Just one Red Raider, point guard John Roberson, played his way to honorable mention all-Big 12 honors, while the Tigers boast Denmon as well as the newcomer of the year, Ricardo Ratliffe, and the defensive player of the year, Laurence Bowers.

Kansas dominates first round against Colorado, 71-45

BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com Kansas City, Mo. Kansas faced Colorado for a third time with the chance to send the team home before the conference shakeup next season. Kansas took that opportunity and completed the season sweep of Colorado. A scorching shooting performance from sophomore guard Monica Engelman led the Jayhawks to a 71-45 first round victory over the Buffaloes. Engelman led the Jayhawks with 17 points off of 7-13 shooting from the field, and 2-3 shooting from beyond the arch. I was a little bit of a spark player, Engelman said. Her two three-pointers were part of a late run in the first half and the other points were spread out over her 37 minutes. Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis followed with 16 points and 11 rebounds. This was Davis seventh double-double of the season.
