Senators vote to end group funding in 2013

By Alex GArrison
agarrison@kansan.com After more than three hours of debate, amendment proposals and speeches by Student Senators along with community members, block allocation passed. It passed 34 to 14, ending possibly the most contentious Senate issue of this year. It passed, meaning all Student Senate funding for four community health service groups the Douglas County AIDS project, Headquarters Crisis Center, the Willow Domestic Violence Center and GaDuGi Sexual Assault SafeCenter will end in two years, fiscal year 2013. Senate did pass a resolution to create a task force to find new funding streams for these groups. This task force will begin work before the Senate elections and will be headed by current vice president Megan Ritter. It will also contain all four current leadership candidates and 16 other designated student leaders. Senator Devin Cantwell proposed and got passed an amendment to strike language from the task force proposal stating that block allocation is not the appropriate funding outlet for non-KU affiliated organizations of any type. That the four groups are not student activities but off-campus groups has been the main argument for the block allocation cuts by its supporters, including Student Body President Michael Wade Smith and others. An amendment to re-instate the $4,000 Willow receives was passed with the stipulation that it go toward a crisis hotline. This means Willow, as the other groups, will be funded next year but not the year after that. The meeting took place in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union and was full, with the 78 available non-senator seats taken by supporters of the four groups and members of the media in aisles. Several senators spoke of how impressed they were of the outpouring of support and involvement in the issue. n The Douglas County AIDS project, Headquarters Crisis Center, the Willow Domestic Violence Center and GaDuGi Sexual Assault SafeCenter will only be funded one

Remember to wear green today to avoid getting pinched in honor of St. Patricks Day. According to britannica. com, the holiday originated in Ireland in AD 461 to commemorate the death of the patron saint of Ireland, who dedicated his life to converting his country to Christianity, and over time became an international phenomenon. Before 1970, St. Patricks Day was viewed as a religious holiday, and bars in Ireland were forced by law to be closed on March 17. Most of the traditions on this day were started in the United States and later picked up by Ireland to boost tourism. The following traditions are still enacted today:

1. What do you know about St. Patricks Day? 2. What are your plans for the holiday?

The color green The United States is known for having mugs overflowing with green beverages. The color green and the tradition of pinching those not wearing it is mainly a U.S. custom that was started by school children to ward off leprechauns. The idea is that being pinched will give nonconformists a greenish bruise to wear for the rest of the holiday. However, people in Ireland dont follow this particular tradition. The shamrock The shamrock was used by Patrick to spread the word of God to the Irish. Three was a sacred number in Ireland, as was the tri-leafed shamrock. Patrick explained how the three leaves of the shamrock were like the Trinity the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit that was bound together by a common root. The leprechaun A leprechaun is said to be an Irish fairy that looks like two-foot-tall old man dressed like a shoemaker. They are unfriendly, tricky and possess a pot of gold. If a leprechaun is caught by someone, it is forced to reveal the whereabouts of its treasure. However, the captor must keep an eye on the leprechaun at all times or the creature will disappear and all hopes of finding the gold will be lost. parades The first St. Patricks Day parade was held in New York City in 1776. In Ireland, the first parade in honor of the saint was not until 1995. The holiday is now spread out over several days in Ireland with concerts, fireworks, crafts, parades and more.

Student to help with tsunami relief efforts

By Alex GArrison
agarrison@kansan.com Immediately after he heard the news, Sandy Rushing knew he had to help. Rushing, a junior from Independence, Mo., lived in Japan for about a year for a study abroad program in 2006. Since then, hes come to Lawrence, joined the Kansas National Guard and worked toward his degree in psychology. But his experiences his deep love for Japanese culture and society have never left him. He heard last week about the devastating earthquake and tsunami that has killed at least at least 4,000 people and left nearly half a million people homeless with some 8,000 people still missing. He got in touch with his friends in Japan, made sure they were OK, and instantly knew he had to do more than just donate money to relief efforts he had to go back. Rushing is planning to leave for Okinawa as soon as Monday or Tuesday, travel through Tokyo up to the hardest-hit northern region and spend the week of Spring Break living and volunteering in a shelter house. If I can help just one person, the trip will be worth it, he said. Rushing has had medical training through his service and feels confident he can help, at least by To geT informaTion distributing food and water, but his family and friends are concerned for his safety. He says he knows the risks and if he feared for his own life, he never would have joined the military. People who volunteer for disaster relief know they could die, he said. But they do it anyway, because someone should. Rushing does not have any agency or nonprofit support but is trying to get in touch with Red Cross officials in the area and gathering donations for travel. Hes also looking for camera equipment and a travel bike to help get around. He says he just wants to help, not just because of the lives lost but because of the tremendous amount of lives affected its the whole Japanese way of life thats at risk as well as the tragedy of the loss of life. Its so much destruction, he said. We dont even know how much has been lost. Throughout the country, power and food supplies are currently limited as threat of nuclear meltdown. Rushing may not be able to help search and rescue efforts, but hell do what he can. Theres two types of people, he said. I want to be the kind who knows this is best course of action and does it.

Unemployment increases in Kansas, decreases in U.S.

Labor report shows Kansas lost 35,500 jobs from Dec. 2010 to Jan. 2011
BY LAURA SATHER
lsather@kansan.com But thats not the full picture because theyre picked right back up around the summer time, Manda said. Job losses in the private sector is somewhat common after the winter holidays. According to the labor report, six out of 11 major industries in Kansas reported job losses over the year. Those major industries include information services jobs, construction and financial services. The other five industries, including education and government, reported an increase in jobs over the year. The report also said that the number of unemployment claims in Kansas went up from December 2010 to January 2011 from 27,889 to 32,089. Manda said the best way for those on unemployment to find a job is to keep searching for work while continuing to file for umemployment assistance. Theres obviously a determination process, given your application and your situation, Manda said. Youre ruled and judged on each claim you file to get on unemployment based on background and in certain situations. Its really just a matter of staying involved and watching and seeing how things turn around. February 2011s labor report will come out on March 25, but Manda said even though he thinks the rate will remain the same for the next month, theres no real way to tell what the unemployment rate will do in an economy like this. I think every states in a delicate area right now, Manda said. Its just a wait-and-see. I would have no idea what to speculate. We obviously remain positive. Edited by Danielle Packer The Kansas Department of Labor published its January 2011 labor report this week. The report showed a decrease in jobs in the state over the last year and a slight decrease in the unemployment rate. However, over the past month, the report showed an increase in the unemployment rate in Kansas. Meanwhile the national unemployment rate is going down and the number of jobs is going up, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Between December 2010 and January 2011, Kansas unadjusted unemployment rate went from 6.4 percent to 7.4 percent, losing 35,500 jobs in the private sector in that time. Matt Manda, director of media and communications at the labor department, said these figures are due to the loss of seasonal jobs.

Professor emeritus Jim Seaver dies at 92

Jim seaver, professor emeritus at the university of kansas and host of one of the longestrunning radio shows in history, died on monday, march 14 at the age of 92. seaver taught western civilization and ancient history at the university for decades until retiring in the late 1980s. he continued to teach after his retirement. on behalf of the entire ku

community, I thank Jim seaver for his dedication to illuminating culture for generations of people who listened on the radio and who worked with him in classrooms studying western civilization and ancient history, said chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle in a press release. In addition to his career as an educator, seaver was an opera expert and the founder of the kansas Public radio show, opera is my hobby. the show began just days after kPr, then kAnu-Fm, hit the airwaves. the

show is still on the air 58 years after its creation, and up until last week, seaver continued to produce the show. seaver was the epitome of a gentleman, with a passion for life like I have never seen, said Janet campbell, director of kPr. When talking with him, even if you werent an opera fan, you walked away a devotee as he just exuded with joy when talking opera. Funeral arrangements are still pending.

Student Senate Notebook

BY ANgELIquE MCNAugHtON
Full Student Senate meets every other Wednesday and met last night for the first time since Feb. 23. Senate meets in the Kansas room of the Kansas Union and all legislation heard must first past through committees, which were held last Wednesday. Student body vice president Megan Ritter, a junior from Overland Park, confirmed the establishment of a one-hour selfdefense course at the Ambler Student Recreation Center. Ritter said two free selfdefense classes will be available for all students. Five student Senators went to Capitol Hill last week to meet with representatives and committee members to discuss funding for higher education. Senate development director Alex Earles, a senior from Salina, said the meetings went well and while the representatives were not necessarily agreeing, they were receptive. Earles said a day was spent in meetings with committee members regarding the future of Pale grants. The only type of grants that appear to be cut, Earles said, is summer grants. Thats good news, Earles said. I guess. With much support and applause from the non-senate members in attendance, Senate passed the bill to fund Queers and Allies Pride Month. Formerly, the event was known as Pride Week and for 20 years lasted for the duration of a week. For the 21st Anniversary of Pride Celebration, the entire month of April- dubbed Gayprilwill be dedicated to educational events and programs around the University. Senate approved legislation allocating $5,550 to fund Andrea Gibson, a queer poet and activist, and Mia Mingus, a queer physically disabled woman.

An in-depth look at several of the 13 Alternative Spring Break projects

A group of 98 Ku students wont be taking much of a break next week. Instead, they will be participating in the Alternative Breaks program. Alternative Breaks is a nationwide program that provides students with an opportunity to participate in community building activities across the country. Programs are offered each year during the winter, summer and spring breaks. This year, student volunteers will be split into 13 groups. These groups will then travel to various parts of the country to volunteer with a variety of community service groups for about five days. The graphic below gives a sampling of what some of these students will be doing during their week off from classes.

Johnsons Backyard Garden Seven students will be heading to Austin, Texas for five days to volunteer labor for Johnsons Backyard Garden (JBG). JBG participates in community supported agriculture that helps to provide fresh produce for the surrounding community. JBG operates on a lending system in which community members pay a subscription fee up front and then receive weekly or bi-weekly shipments of the produce that is being harvested during that season.

Peter Paul Development Center Students working with the Peter Paul development Center in richmond, Va., will be participating in an afterschool program for students between the ages of eight and 18. The Peter Paul development Center provides a safe location for students to study and get any academic help that they need. Peter Paul also offers programs for seniors and local families. The organization provides family counseling, community events and a community food bank.

Mid-South Center for Peace and Justice A group of seven students will be spending their Spring Break in Memphis, Tenn., working with Mid-South Center for Peace and Justice. These students will be working on the GrowMemphis project. The Mid-South Center sponsored the GrowMemphis Project, which promotes urban and community gardening as well as education on sustainability. GrowMemphis also provides a source of food for some of the impoverished parts of the city.

AIDS Foundation Houston Members from Kus Alternative Breaks program have been traveling to houston to volunteer with the AIdS Foundation houston since Alternative Breaks was brought to Ku more than 15 years ago. Founded in 1982, this foundation was the first organization in Texas to be dedicated solely to the prevention of hIV and AIdS. The Foundation works with government and religious orgnanizations to help spread awareness.

A bill to amend Student Senate Rules and Regulations to include a Senator Code of Ethics was referred back to the Student Executive staff to clarify the language. Ritter said Stud Ex hopes the clarity will allow the code of ethics to appear as an appendix in the back of the rules and regulations like a contract for new senators to sign. The bills sponsor, student senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Wyandotte and a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, said he is disappointed the bill is going back to Stud Ex when he was unaware of any clarity issues.

Ugandan student prepares to lead clan

BY KELSEY RICHARDSON
krichardson@kansan.com Mugabi Byenkya, a freshman from Uganda, participates in campus activities to help prepare for the leadership of his familys clan in Uganda. Byenkya became leader of the Bagombe clan in Western Uganda at the age of 13 after his father passed away and he will return Byenkya to the clan after graduation. When he passed away he left me as clan leader, Byenkya said. But I was 13 at the time, so I couldnt technically assume the role. I cant assume the role until I get out of school and start working. Byenkya has lived and attended schools in six different countries. His diverse education enabled Byenkya to adjust to the various educational systems around the world. Byenkya has also been exposed to a variety of cultures. Moving around teaches you about the similarities between different cultures, Byenkya said. So its a lot easier for me to live somewhere new and fit in than for someone who has stayed in the same place their entire life and is used to a certain way of life. At his high school in Kampala, Uganda, Byenkya wrote and edited for the school newspaper, coached the basketball team and

He said he hopes to work for an international organization that focuses on preserving the environment. Im a conservationist, Byenkya said. Byenkya is the secretary for the International Student Association, a member of the African Student

Association, and he is on the cultural arts committee for Student Union Activities. His involvement in these campus groups further aids Byenkya in building his leadership skills, which will carry over to his future role as the Bagombe clan leader. As leader of the clan you have to settle any disputes that occur within the clan, Byenkya said. Issues that Byenkya will have to take care of include family disputes, land disputes and any other

conflicts that may arise within the clan. As clan leader he will also have to organize, set up and attend clan meetings. His main role will be to make sure that everyone in the family is all right. My uncles and aunts are taking care of it for me right now, Byenkya said, But once I get out of school I will have to take over. Edited by Danielle Packer

Matthew McConaughey displays range of talent

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Every time I write off Matthew McConaughey as a set of abs best suited to play a shirtless cad (see: Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), he reminds me of how resourceful an actor he is. When the drawling Texan leaves that pigeonhole, he soars. As the bottom-feeder attorney in The Lincoln Lawyer, a twisty, cleverly plotted thriller based on the crime novel by Michael Connelly, McConaughey acts with his head and body. His legal eagle is a predator, all right, but one who retracts the talons in favor of mind games. Brad Furmans movie is shamelessly entertaining and the best thing in it is McConaugheys Mickey Haller, known as the Lincoln lawyer because his office is his Town Car. Why pay for overhead when you have an ex-wife (Marisa Tomei as a world-weary assistant district attorney) and kid to help support? Micks a streetwise operator who knows how to make money off the front end and back end of every deal. He knows how to work the system without gaming it and how to make a bribe look like a legitimate Christmas gift. For him, the end product of the justice system is not a fair verdict, but getting a judgment and pocketing the payment for services. He strikes gold when his chum the bail bondsman (John Leguizamo) hooks him up with a franchise client, Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillipe), a Beverly Hills real-estate prince and playboy charged with assault and battery of a female escort. Almost unprecedented in Mickeys experience, Roulet (rhymes with roue) may even be innocent. The part of the smoothie at the pick-up game suits McConaughey down to the ground. Typically, Mickey is several steps ahead of the DA. In defending Roulet, though, what initially looks to be a slam-dunk is a desperation heave. In this nicely cast film featuring Bryan Cranston as a comically exasperated police detective, William H. Macy is a standout as a private investigator, a shaggy motormouth with access to all sorts of privileged information. Furmans movie has the throwback vibe of Paul Newman crime procedurals like The Drowning Pool and the swagger of the first installment in a continuing movie or television franchise. I, for one, look forward to the next chapter in the misadventures of Mickey.

Distinguished speaker highlights need for global engagement

Bombs dont create peace; education does. This is the mantra of Greg Mortenson, the keynote speaker to this years Into the Streets Week. After a near-death experience while climbing in the Karakoram Mountains, community members in a rural Pakistani village nursed Mortenson back to health. As a gesture of gratitude to his caretakers, Mortenson promised to build a local school. Now, years later, he has helped build over 170 schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan through an organization he cofounded called the Central Asia Institute. Almost 64,000 people have been educated through his community-based institute, with nearly 54,000 of them being girls. rights and human realities for these girls. He believes by educating women, many global issues can begin to be resolved including poverty, terrorism and HIV. As a visionary, humanitarian and global leader, Greg Mortensons unique leadership perspectives will enlighten KU students understanding of the globe we live in. His moving speeches inspire people to act locally and globally and will no doubt have the same effect on the students of the University. He embodies the idea that educational experiences arent limited to the classroom, but must extend through community engagement. We are privileged to bring such a powerful global leader and humanitarian to our campus. Without the support of many University sources and groups, this event would not be possible. Their confidence, excitement and initiative to bring such a highly sought-after speaker proves his validity. We thank all these groups for their support of furthering the learning experience at the University, and their desire to offer students the best possible experience. Emily Lamb is a the co-director at CCO. She is a junior in American studies from Lawrence.

Dear roommate, the more you complain about things that dont matter the more I hate you. Just saying. My new lover has a big penis, brings me water after sex and can flip eggs in the air. Winning. What is it about the words we need to talk or I have a serious question that make your heart pound out of fear that you are about to lose the one who is most important to you? Leaving the library at 2 a.m. during midterm week is like leaving the party at 11 p.m. If a man has a tramp stamp what kind of stamp is it? The best love makes your vagina ache for days. I envy you. On St. Patricks Day, youre supposed to find a redhead and kiss them! That way if youre not truly Irish, you can at least be a part of one! The number one thing I have learned from college: Whenever anyone says, You need to know this because youll use it later in life... THEY ARE LYING. Its official. Our teacher is back on his meds. I shouldnt have taken that Adderall XR at 3p.m. Now I cant sleep and will have to take more to stay awake tomorrow. Im pretty sure I saw something like this on Intervention... So, you tried to refriend me, eh? Well I unfriended you because you suck. Sucks to suck, kiddo. I dont think love is supposed to make your vagina hurt. Every time I drive on campus I feel like its an extreme test track for my car. March is the most stressful month of a sports fan. You just cant choose what will be the upset. Dear roommate, please leave. I really need to take a dump. Sometimes, I wish that KUs campus was a level in Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Seriously, imagine grinding down the length of the Campanile or around Allen Fieldhouse. Spring break car ride ... Front seat or back, which seat do I take? Gotta make up my mind. Hardest decision of the break. My ex used to have this weird fetish. She would dress up like herself and act like a bitch all day. I wonder if the girls at the Rec will decrease in population after spring break... When Im high, grapes are like bursting bubbles of happiness in my mouth. Friday has got to be the worst excuse for a song I have ever heard. Worse than Bieber. Worse than Paris Hilton. THAT Bad. On a positive note, this breakup is doing great for my bulking...

A cowboys way of life defends meat eating

I recently read the article about meat eating and how it is morally indefensible. I believe this article rightly deserves a dignified and respectable response. I am a Kansas native and this has led me to my passion which is none other than the agricultural way of life. In my response to the animal rights article I would like to convey no feelings of hatred or disgust toward the author, and would simply like to properly represent the cowboy way of life. Facts are the backbone of an argument and nobody knows facts better than a cowboy. He can rattle off just about anything a person would want to know about the animals in his care, proper nutrition, genetics, anatomy and physiology; what to do when they are sick and how to sustain the overall health of the animals. To say modern farming methods cause suffering is a statement that is not based on fact but rather an obscure view of a large part of the American way of life. Watch a cowboy who is in the middle of calving season and you will see a number of sleepless nights spent caring for each calf as it is born. In an example like this I dont see much suffering, but rather a caring individual who loves what he does. According to Websters dictionary a cowboy is defined as one who tends cattle or horses. I would like to draw your attention to the word tends, which means to pay attention to. We tend to our animals because we care about their well being, and know how important they are in our lives. So portray us as mindless, emotionless killers if you wish, but I promise you the American cowboy has a respect for animals most people could never comprehend.

In-class sex demos help foster much needed conversations

Northwestern University president Morton Schapiros reaction to a professors live masturbation demonstration last month which involved a 25-year-old female and an atypical sex toy, (the viewing was voluntary for students) was, quite frankly, disturbing. Schapiro claimed the professors actions were in poor judgment, and an investigation was issued. Sex is a big part of life for a lot of people, for some a very big part. We all see, hear, feel and smell certain things uniquely, and those sensory signals send messages to the brain and hormones, which respond, react and often become aroused. These complex and idiosyncratic feelings often result in rhythmic muscle contractions orgasms that give most people intense pleasure and a sense of well-being and happiness. Examining the theoretical approaches to what causes us to become aroused to certain things, the social and political identities that develop from particular sexual desires and the health issues surrounding sexual behavior can all foster highanalytical thinking and enriching discussions. And, as in any other discipline, clinical or hands-on learning can be a valuable approach in human sexuality. The Northwestern professors masturbation seminar was a way for students to engage in the process of female sexual response. However, sex is different. In a country where sex is everywhere, its not normal to talk about sex. Even in most relationships, couples often do not vocalize their sexual desires, especially in the early stages. Sexually transmitted infections are stigmatized as being the result of what is perceived as deviant behavior like having lots of sex partners so people are deterred from discussing them with others. Its a shame Schapiro did not commend the faculty member for working to break this destructive silence, to normalize discussions about sexual activity and broaden minds. The professor at Northwestern was certainly not the first expert to push such boundaries in academic settings. Zeb Tortorici, visiting professor of

By James castle jcastle@kansan.com

history at Tulane University presented nude images and live footage of himself masturbating at academic conferences, footage which was a part of his activism in queering pornography. Tortorici claims he wanted to assert [himself] as a sexual being, to push people out of their comfort zones and mitigate fears of the human body in its essence, as well as challenge what is typically glorified in gay mainstream pornography young, white, heteromasculinity which is obsessed with age, race and gender. Certainly challenging audiences in such a way contributes to the furthering of higher education (and society). However, just as with any other clinic or activity that may be outside of most peoples normal experience, measures should be taken to protect students. Sonya Satinsky, professor of health and human sexuality at the University, said that any seminar, such as the one conducted at Northwestern, should be executed in a way as to ensure the experience is consensual, that students are not mandated or pressured to attend and that they understand what is being presented. I would hope the University would never respond to similar learning opportunities the way Northwesterns administration did. I like to think this school is beyond such ignorance. The more comfortable students become discussing sex in the classroom and in their personal and social lives, the better they can protect themselves against unplanned parenting, sexual diseases, as well as better understand and express themselves. James Castle is a junior in political science and human sexuality from Stilwell.

Animal slaughtercolumn requires proven facts for better argument

I am enrolled in Journalism 301, one of the basic classes required for a journalism major. I found a lot of issues with the editorial article Animal slaughter for human consumption is morally indefensible, not from a meat-eating perspective, but from a journalistic standpoint. In 301, we are taught that you cannot simply throw out information without supporting it. The parts of the article that irritated me, as a journalist, were these: Worldwide, hundreds of millions of healthy people rarely or never eat meat. Even elite athletes have competed as vegetarians. Nowhere does the author tell me which countries or groups of people partake in vegetarianism, and she fails to mention which elite athletes have competed as vegetarians. This leads me to question the credibility of the entire article, especially when she writes, science has proven that animals feel intense physical and psychological pain. As a journalist, you cannot just give ambiguous information and not back it up. Had she included which studies or which scientists tested and proved this fact, then I would have believed the author. Science has proven lots of things. She needs to mention specific studies. I urge your staff to make your writers cite their sources, as a basic journalism requirement. Jenna Jakowatz is a sophomore majoring in journalism.

Jayhawks remain persistent during game

epadway@kansan.com Sophomore guard Monica Engelman knocked down the first shot of the night for the Kansas womens basketball team, a three point shot assisted by freshman forward Tania Jackson. The shot was the first made by either team and it gave the Jayhawks a lead they would never relinquish. Engelmans three sparked the Jayhawks as they opened the game making 12 of their first 13 shots from the field for a 92 percent field goal percentage. They also connected on 50 percent of their three point attempts in the first half. It definitely gets momentum, especially hitting a three because it is a big shot. It just gets the energy flowing and its another way for us to get the momentum going, Engelman said. The Jayhawks kept the pace up in the first half, pushing the ball up the court. With 6:27 left in the first half, sophomore guard Angel Goodrich grabbed a rebound and quickly launched a pass across the court to freshman guard Diara Moore for an easy layup. The fastpaced game helped the Jayhawks to a 15-point lead going into halftime. We want to control tempo, we want to push, we want to run the ball, catch them off guard on defense when theyre running back. Easy buckets that we can try and get so we wont have to set up a play, Goodrich said. The Jayhawks moved the ball around well on offense in the first

half, getting everyone involved. Seven different players recorded an assist in the first half, Goodrich led the way with three dimes in the first half and nine in the game. We were trying to play as a team, and get everyone involved. If someone didnt have an open shot, pass it to the next guy. The more you do that, the more rotation it is for the defense and the more it makes them have to rotate and gets them off balance. It really opens up a lot, kicking it out to the wings, swinging it, bringing it back inside, Goodrich said. Despite a big height advantage for the Jayhawks, the Shockers tried to play physical with Davis, knocking her to the floor multiple times in the first half. But the strategy didnt work as she led the Jayhawks with 17 first half points. Goodrich also scored double digits in the first half, with 10 points, and Monica Engelman was right behind her with eight. I knew it was going to be physical and I feel like there was a couple cheap shots but it was cool, I dont let it get to me and affect me, I have been working on that because I know teams are going to come at me, take out the head of the monster as we say, so I just have to know it comes with the territory, Davis said. The Jayhawks did slow down a little as the half approached, but still managed to finish shooting 70 percent from the field in the first half. Edited by Brittany Nelson

season, Kansas isnt overlooking anybody. I wanted to take them out as soon as I saw them, junior forward Markieff Morris said. But we learned lessons from that game. You know, never take a team for granted. Just because you dont know who they are doesnt mean you can take them lightly. That lesson even extends to 16th-seeded Boston University. History says the Terriers have no shot a 16th-seed has never beaten a top seed but dont tell the Jayhawks that. We know that this Boston team is capable of beating us, and we dont want to look past them, Morris said. More than anything though, the Jayhawks are just excited to get back after last years disappointment. Northern Iowa isnt in the field this year, but Kansas is looking forward to avenging the loss. We actually just finished talking about it. Its definitely a motivation for us, junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. I just dont want us to come out and fear that will happen again. We have to be loose, play, have fun and enjoy this time. We dont get this time too many more times. Even coach Bill Self, whose 13th NCAA Tournament starts Friday, said he never gets tired of it. Its why you do it, to put yourself in this position, Self said. Ill be excited, theres no question. Ill struggle sleeping. Im sure our guys will feel the same way. No one else admitted losing sleep, but Taylor said its been all he could think about lately. The Jayhawks say theyre more focused than they were last year, but Self wants his team to stay loose above all else. I like our teams make up, Self said. Last year, I liked it too, but maybe a couple times we were a little too serious. Maybe I created that. Maybe it was self-imposed, I dont know. I just want us to go down there, be loose and have fun. For that, he calls on the Morris twins and Brady Morningstar. They do the best job of anybody of keeping guys loose, Self said. Those are some goofy dudes. Edited by Erin Wilbert

Against Alabama state (17-18), Johnson took advantage of every one. the sophomore had a career high in the first half alone, when he outscored the hornets 25-21. tramayne moorer and Jeff middlebrooks had 12 points apiece for Alabama state, which had the worst record in the expanded 68team tournament. the roadrunners came to dayton with a stated goal: san Antonio had never won an ncAA tournament game of any sort. now, theyve got reason to raise a banner in the utsA convocation center.

Football players show their NFL potential to scouts

BY KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com With six weeks remaining until the NFL draft, the Kansas football program held its annual pro day on Wednesday morning. It was an opportunity for graduating seniors to showcase their skills in front of potential NFL employers. Among the nearly 20 athletes on hand for workouts were offensive lineman Brad Thorson, receiver Johnathan Wilson, and defensive back Chris Harris. Thorson, a former transfer from the University of Wisconsin, finished his Kansas career with 24 consecutive starts on the offensive line. Thorson found playing time at every position Thorson across the line while at Kansas, and he thinks that versatility will attract an NFL team. Ive played in three different systems, he said of Wisconsins power run system, Mark Manginos spread offense, and Turner Gills balanced attack. I have a comfortability with the game, and versatility across the line. I think it will help with teams filling out a roster. Thorson said scouts are looking for him to be a guard or center at the next level. With a business degree and a masters in economics, the NFL labor situation isnt lost on Thorson. I cross my fingers that my names called, and I cross my fingers that they can come to an agreement so I can keep playing football and stay in my little fantasy world a little bit longer. Wilson finished his Kansas career with 119 receptions and over 1,400 yards receving. The Houston native was satisfied with his workouts. I felt pretty good, he said. My routes and individual work was pretty good. My training paid Wilson off. After signing with agent Mark Magazu, Wilson has been working out six days a week in Long Beach, Calif., in preparation for Wednesdays workout and the potential training camp this spring. Defensive back Chris Harris was a four-year starter for the Jayhawks, and that accomplishment is something he hopes NFL teams will take note of. Ive got a lot of film, he said jokingly. If they need film, Ive got a lot of film. They shouldnt have a problem with that. That should be the last thing they need right now. Harris weighs 195 pounds, and said he played at 188 pounds this season. The weight gain was to show scouts he was strong enough to play safety and fast enough to play cornerback. harris Like Thorson, the emphasis on versatility was something Harris noted multiple times after his workouts. In the 40-yard dash, he ran a 4.47 seconds. I actually ran slower than what I usually do, he said afterwards. I wanted to run a 4.3 today. That was my goal, but Ill take 4.4.

Ochocinco tries out for KC soccer team

raffle prizes & free t-shirts

KANSAS CITy, Kan. Chad Ochocinco will try to play a different kind of football during the NFL lockout. Never short on publicity-grabbing ideas, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver is set for a four-day tryout with Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer starting Tuesday. The club said Wednesday that after the tryout, it would determine whether to extend the trial period. Were always searching for players who can help our team and bringing in new talent, Sporting Kansas City manager Peter Vermes said. We know that Chad is an exceptional athlete and that he loves the sport of soccer, and he did play a lot when he was younger.

Ochocinco started playing soccer at age 4 but chose to focus on football in high school. due to the NFL lockout, Im excited to be able to follow my childhood dream of playing for a Major League Soccer team, Ochocinco said.

Team to compete without injured swimmer in NCAA

BY BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com Three days before the NCAA Swimming and Diving National Championships, the Kansas swimming and diving team had to endure troubling news. Kansas swimmer Stephanie Payne, a junior from Derby, was struck by a car in the parking lot outside of the Ambler Student Recreation Center. Payne was emerging from between two parked cars at 2:45 p.m. on Monday when she was hit by a passing car. Paramedics transported Payne to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where she was admitted. Because of privacy laws, the swimming and diving team was unable to disclose the injuries that Payne suffered. However, coach Clark Campbell released a statement after the accident. We are deeply concerned with Stephanies health and wellbeing after her accident today. She was treated immediately by the tremendous staff at LMH, and now will be in the care of our medical team. While we cannot comment on her Payne specific medical condition because of privacy laws, Stephanie will bounce back soon from this setback with the excellent care she will receive, Campbell said. Payne, who was released from the hospital on Tuesday and is now recuperating at home, was the fourth qualifier for the NCAA Championships in the 400-yard individual medley. Although she was not invited to compete, the Jayhawks will be represented at the National Championships. Iuliia Kuzhil, a senior from Cherkasy, Ukraine, will compete Friday and Saturday in the 100yard and 200-yard backstroke events. Iuliia is doing really well, Campbell said. Shes looking sharp and fast. The NCAA meet definitely brings the best out of her. As for Payne, she is now in the care of the teams training staff and is expected to make a full recovery and be able to compete again. Edited by Erin Wilbert

QUOTE OF THE DAY

It doesnt matter who scores the points, its who can get the ball to the scorer. Larry Bird

FACT OF THE DAY

Five 14-loss teams are in the NCAA Tournament this year. Marquette, Tennessee, Penn. State, Michigan State and uSC. ESPN

Q: how many 14-loss teams

have been in the tournament since 1985, not counting this year?

TRIVIA OF THE DAY

A: Six
ESPN

f you want to watch the tournament this March, you better have HDNet, the exclusive home of the 16-team College Basketball Invitational (what tournament did you think I was talking about?). The four-year-old postseason tournament is the third of its kind, and also third in relevance, far behind the NCAA tournament and even the National Invitational Tournament. This years edition of the CBI features only one team from the traditional power six conferences Oregon. But theres nothing powerful about the Ducks, who finished the regular season 16-17 overall and 7-11 in conference play. One of Oregons 17 losses came to San Jose State, 17-15 overall and 5-11 in conference. Oregon could potentially play San Jose St. in the semifinals, and Im sure the Ducks are dying for revenge. Along with the programs metioned above, the CBI features other barnburners such as Weber State, with its 18 total victories, and Conference USA member Central Florida with a 6-10 conference record. Some of the first round matchups include Duquesne at Montana, James Madison at Davidson and Hofstra at Evansville. If that

The CBI proves itself insignificant I

By Geoffrey Calvert
gcalvert@kansan.com doesnt get your blood flowing, well then I dont blame you. According to the CBIs website, the event provides a meaningful opportunity for teams that deserve a postseason experience. Um, no it doesnt. The event, a borderline sham, is sponsored by Zebra Pen. With the NCAA Tournament expanding to 68 teams this year, and the NIT featuring 32, that makes the winner of the CBI the 101st best team in the country. Congratulations. Theres no reason for a team to be proud of winning this tournament. On the CBIs website, Zebra Pen claims it assembles the brackets with the goal of minimizing missed class time. If Zebra Pen is really worried about missed class time, then cancel the event. Is there really any relevance to the college basketball world if Oregon defeats Weber State in the first round of a remarkably unimportant tournament? Many people who consider themselves college basketball fans dont even know about this tournament. No one cares about this tournament, it has no prestige, and the players miss class time to play what amounts to exhibition games. There is no glory, even if they win it all.

Illness keeps Pullen from K-State practice

TuCSON, Ariz. Jacob Pullen is sick and did not practice with Kansas State on Wednesday. The senior guard, who leads the Wildcats in scoring with 19.5 points per game, came down ill this morning and spent the afternoon in his room at the team hotel. K-State officials were reluctant to release details about his illness, but said they expected him to recover in time to play against utah State on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. When pressed about Pullens status, teammates suggested he was suffering from food poisoning.

It was from something he ate last night, a cheeseburger or something like that, said sophomore Jordan henriquez-roberts. But hes going to be all right and hes going to go tomorrow. I know Jake ... hes going to give his all tomorrow whether hes 100 percent or not. Jamar Samuels said Pullen was being well taken care of in the meantime. hell be all right. hes drinking a lot of Gatorade and water, Samuels said. his mom is here, so shell baby him a little bit so he can get better. hell be there tomorrow. Practicing without Pullen was strange for the team, but nothing it couldnt overcome. Its just a precautionary

measure, said forward Victor Ojeleye. hes not feeling well, and coaches dont want us to catch anything hes got. Freshman Will Spradling spent extra time during Wednesdays practice as the first-teams point guard to make up for Pullens absence, and every guard on the roster had to stay on the court longer than usual. Beyond that, Pullen missing practice had no long-term impact. Weve practiced with him all season and played with him all season, Spradling said. Not having him for one practice isnt going to hurt.

Jayhawks advance to second round

Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis excels, helps Kansas surpass Wichita State in WNIT
By Kathleen Gier
kgier@kansan.com A perfect shooting percentage is usually reserved for players who only see court time at the end of a blow out. No one expects perfection from the starters or even the stars, but sophomore forward Carolyn Davis is a different breed of star. In 29 minutes of play she shot a near perfect 14-of-15 from the field, helping Kansas defeat Wichita State 79-58. The Jayhawks have come to rely on Davis for consistent production on points and rebounds. This game was no different. Davis recorded a game-high 33 points and added 12 rebounds. I know that is what my teammates and coaches expect from me every night Davis said. They expect me to be consistent and make the shots I am supposed to make and get rebounds when we have a size advantage so it makes me feel good that I am holding my own. Davis had little trouble getting to the basket, whether she was cutting through undersized defenders or simply getting to the rim before the defense was set up. It is good for us that she is able to finish so well inside because it makes us dangerous, sophomore guard Monica Engelman said. Engelman shot 2-of-3 from the threepoint range, leading a 44 percent effort from beyond the arc. I was trying to be confident and be aggressive, Engelman said. The Jayhawks had 19 assists during the game, led by sophomore guard Angel Goodrich. She recorded nine assists and scored 10 points. It means we are sharing the ball, we are getting everyone involved and not trying to force anything, Goodrich said. Kansas will advance to the second round of the WNIT and will host the winner of the game between Kent State and Duquesne at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Edited by Jacque Weber

Jayhawks focus on staying loose, yet remaining serious

It wasnt the 2011 tournament preview, which in the Midwest will feature Marcus Morris on the cover. It was from last year, with a diminutive Northern Iowa guard named Ali Farokhmanesh letting out an ecstatic yell after hitting an infamous three.

NCAA Tournament tips to ensure a successful bracket

f you dont plan on filling out an NCAA tournament bracket, read no further. For the other 99 percent of the population, here are some tips for winning some cash. Go ahead and put Kansas in the Final Four. Not that many Jayhawk fans needed the extra support, but Kansas path to the Final Four in Houston is the easiest of the four No. 1 seeds. At least one double-digit seed makes the Sweet 16 every year. This year, look for these teams to possibly achieve the feat: 12th seed Richmond, the Spiders won 27 games, captured the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship, and get a favorable matchup against Vanderbilt in the first round. 12th seed Utah State The Aggies were under-seeded here at 12. Many bracket projections had them as an 8 or 9 seed, so beating Kansas State shouldnt shock anyone.

kcarpenter@kansan.com 13th seed Belmont The Bruins are an experienced team with 30 wins on the year. And with playing Wisconsin in the first round whose slow tempo would make James Naismith proud an early Belmont lead would make a Wisconsin comeback tough. Bracket competitors should also be wary of Duke. Last years champion is a No. 1 seed once again, but they landed in the West bracket this year, with regionals played in Anaheim, California.

could take down the Blue Devils. If they advance to the regional final, they face a potential road game with 2-seed San Diego State, whose campus is just a short drive down I-5 from Anaheim. Jump off the Jimmer bandwagon. BYUs All-American Jimmer Fredette has wowed audiences all season, getting 28 points per game. However, since the season-ending suspension to forward Brandon Davies two weeks ago, BYU has been blown out by New Mexico, struggled to beat TCU, and lost handily to San Diego State. The Cougars were given a 3-seed, but St. Johns should take care of them in the second round. Dont put all four No. 1 seeds in the Final Four. Its only happened once in 2008 and it wont happen this year. Kansas and Ohio State should make the trip to Houston, but Pittsburgh and Duke wont survive their regionals. Edited by Brittany Nelson
