editor@kansan.com The Lawrence City Commissions decision to increase enforcement of a pre-existing housing code in early October resulted in questions concerning student dwellings in some parts of the city. Violating the code, which has been on the books since 2002, could now incur hefty fines and the possibility of probation for landlords who are found to be in violation. The code limits the number of unrelated residents to three in houses zoned for singlefamilies. The number of unrelated residents allowed goes up to four in multi-dwelling zoned districts, according to the ordinance. Some of the concern caused by the code stems from confusion about what a single-family zoning area is and where they are located within the city. Lawrence code enforcement manager Brian Jimenez said that any neighborhood that is made up of houses designed for the use of a single family is likely a single-family

College-style Comedy
kelsey Cipolla
kcipolla@kansan.com A few black curtains and a row of uncomfortable looking chairs on a stage have never been so funny. But then again, making the normal seem hilarious is a talent of Second City, a Chicago-based improvisation and sketch comedy troupe that performed in Woodruff Auditorium Wednesday. The group used few props and produced plenty of laughs last night. The troupe has produced many of todays biggest comedy stars, including Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert and Steve Carrell, as well as iconic comedians like Chris Farley, Dan Akroyd and Mike Myers. Theyve had a lot of great people come out of them, said Bea Kilat, Student Union Activities cultural arts coordinator and a senior from Salina. Its just a fun show, especially this one because its centered on college. In the college-focused The

FAFSA and the Furious show, the cast of five poked fun at liberal arts colleges, student government and uncomfortably premature affection. The mixture of sketches and improvised skits allowed for plenty of KU references. You ever said something you wish you could take back? said Barry Hite, a performer, while introducing an improv skit where cast members had the chance to take back their earlier statements to change the direction of the skit. Like, VCU, no problem! Second City captured the real moments of college, like parting from a long-time roommate or embarking on an Adderall-fueled study session. But some of the sketches were less realistic. In the Second City world, professors drink Four Loko, pass a joint and taunt freshmen. Sorority sisters bounce between sweetly singing in harmony and breaking

Clarifying city zoning code for single-family dwellings

zoning area. He used the example of the region south of 19th Street in between Massachusetts Street and Ousdahl Road. Jimenez said it may be harder to tell what the zoning is in older neighborhoods because there can sometimes be mixed zoning. Prospective tenants should ask landlords what the occupancy limits are for a property before signing a lease. If, for some reason, tenants find out they are in violation after signing a lease or are occupying the rental unit, I would suggest they make their landlord aware of the violation and make arrangements to become compliant with the code, Jimenez said. Several students find the code to be unnecessary, considering the size of some of the houses being rented out to them. I think it kind of stinks, said Collin Baffa, a senior from Olathe who is living in a house with his friends. I mean, when you have four distinct rooms to a house and you can only use three of them, well thats one more person that could help pay for rent, and rent always seems to be going up. Baffa said he understood the idea of limiting the number of occupants for safety but said he thinks the code is a little much. Landlords who are found to be in breach of the code are charged with the offense even if the renter

More family time during break may take away college freedom
alexa rush
arush@kansan.com Making the adjustment from life at home to the one in college can be quite the challenge, but when freshmen students return home for Thanksgiving break, the transition back may prove to be just as difficult. Im dreading having less independence and freedom compared to being on my own, said Victoria Porter, a freshman from Garden City. Porter said staying with her family for a week is initially weird because of the lengthy time spent away. However, by the end of the week I know it will feel normal because its home, she said. This idea of losing newly found freedom when returning home isnt appealing for most freshman. Old curfews may be reinforced, going out every night may not be an option and instead of being able to hang out with friends, family time may consume the holiday. Some colleges and universities have resources for helping students and parents with being reunited during school breaks. According to St. Louis University, parents and students should lay out expectations of what events and family functions the student should be expected to attend. Check your assumptions at the gate. Mom shouldnt assume Jennifer is going to want to spend all of Thanksgiving Day with the family when her friends also are home. Likewise, Jennifer shouldnt assume she can punt on her familys Thanksgiving dinner because she would rather be with her friends, St. Louis University said on its website. Ryan Henke, a junior from West Chester, Ohio, thinks that time at home is important for students and their families. Five days may seem like a long time with a small lack of the freedom that you have in college, but take advantage of the lack of school work to take a deep breath and catch up with your family and on sleep, Hecke said. Not all freshmen are dreading this time at home, though. Stephen Hicks, a freshman from Spring, Texas, is looking forward to spending time with his family, considering he hasnt seen them since they dropped him off at the University in August. Getting a home-cooked meal for the first time in three months is definitely a plus, Hicks said. And Im looking forward to seeing my

MANCHESTER, N.H. People attending a Rick Perry presidential campaign event Wednesday were asked to prove they are American citizens. The town hall-style meeting at Granite State Manufacturing, the first of two events Perry was holding in New Hampshire, was open to the public. But campaign officials said federal regulations required proof of citizenship because the company handles defense contracts. A Granite State employee sat beside a Perry campaign staffer at the door and asked attendees whether they were citizens. The employee, who refused to give her name, said non-citizens wouldnt be admitted. While Perrys rivals have faced similar restrictions when they held events on the premises of federal defense contractors, the issue Wednesday brought unwanted attention to Perrys complicated immigration record at a critical point in his quest for the Republican presidential nomination. Some of his rivals privately seized on

his decision to hold an event with such restrictions. The leader of a regional immigration advocacy group was more vocal. Its disturbing, especially given his record on immigration, said Eva Millona, executive director of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition. Perry, the governor of Texas, has faced sustained criticism over a Texas policy that allows in-state college tuition for illegal immigrants. He also has struggled to win over some conservatives for being against putting up a fence along the border with Mexico. John Stephen, a prominent Perry supporter in New Hampshire and recent Republican gubernatorial candidate, defended Perry. This is a manufacturing business where the governor wanted to meet with workers, Stephen said. There is no one thats done more through action to oppose illegal immigration than Rick Perry.

Twilight series takes an adult turn in part 1

MiaMi until now, it was easy to dismiss the Twilight film series which has grossed nearly $2 billion worldwide as fodder for adolescent girls. lots and lots of girls. with the arrival of The Twilight saga: Breaking dawn Part 1 the story takes a decidedly adult turn. This one tackles marriage, sex, abortion and family demands, themes that can no longer be deemed kid stuff and reflects the growing inclusion of adult content in Tv shows and movies aimed primarily at teens.

The legions of fans who devoured stephenie Meyers novels, which have sold more than 100 million copies, knew what was coming: in Breaking dawn, the 18-year-old Bella (kristen stewart) marries the vampire edward (robert Pattinson), who looks 17 but was born in 1901 (he could be her great-grandfather!) They honeymoon on a remote island off the coast of Brazil, where Bella loses her virginity and discovers vampires like their sex extra rough. Then, along with the black and purple bruises dotting her body, Bella discovers she is pregnant and the baby shes carrying, which is growing at a supernaturally fast rate, may be

an immortal human-vampire hybrid that will drain the life from her before its born. edward and his clan of vampires implore her to terminate the pregnancy, because it may kill her. But Bella refuses. strong stuff strong enough, in fact, to earn the first cut of Breaking dawn Part 1 an r rating. But oscar-winning director Bill Condon (dreamgirls, kinsey, Gods and Monsters), who shot the two Breaking dawn movies back to back, knew he was required to edit the film down to a PG-13.

Scandal suggests crime reporting review

The Pennsylvania State University scandal has forced institutions around the nation to examine their reporting practices and policies. For the University of Kansas, the issue is especially relevant considering weve had our own set of athletics scandals recently. The University has said that, under Kansas law, University employees are not legally bound to report suspicions of child abuse to authorities. This leaves the details of crime reporting protocols to high-level university officials. Football coach Turner Gills comments in his weekly press conference on Nov. 8 showed how similar the University is to Penn State when it comes to crime reporting. In the interview, he responded to a question about how his players and staff should react if they witness crime internally. Gill said, You have to go to protocol. Protocol for Kansas Athletics and the University administration relies on the chain of command. Under current standards, if a KU employee witnesses a crime, it should be reported to a direct superior. Gill explained that if crime were witnessed in his program, it should be reported to him. This sounds similar to Penn State football coach Joe Paternos role and fulfills only a legal obligation. The video of the Nov. 8 press conference is not available on the KU Athletics webpage, and the transcript on the same site does not include his response to the question. In an email to students, Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle explained the moral obligation to report abuse of children. Beyond any legal responsibilities, we each have a moral obligation to look out for the safety of the other members of our community, especially when they are children, she said in the official statement. She also said that policies are being examined to define KU employees responsibility. We hope that Gray-Littles statement is made policy rather than just being an unwritten rule. The University needs to adopt a clear policy outlining how employees can fulfill their moral obligation in reporting internal crime to authorities outside the institution while gaining certain immunities from institutional backlash. For student employees, these responsibilities can be conflicting. Its especially important to protect the rights of these employees who might be more disposable in cases like the KU ticket scandal. Although the ticket scandal largely avoided the inclusion of student employees, the Penn State scandal directly involved a graduate student turned assistant coach. The Chancellor is correct in saying its everyones moral responsibility to report crime, but when pressure is placed on subordinates, the line becomes blurry. The line at Penn State was clearly crossed, but people still need to be protected when they make the right decision, or punished when they dont. Students should pay close attention to how the administration handles this topic in the following weeks. While administrators seem to be taking a proactive approach to this issue, they should be held accountable if they jeopardize the prestige of this institution by not fixing the internal crime reporting process.

Writer expressed double standard

I am writing this in response to the article entitled Arguments against gays prove to be senseless. Once again, the UDK does not disappoint in producing another incredibly arrogant and narrow-minded article while its author claims to have the moral high ground of open-mindedness and acceptance. Self proclaimed liberals including the author are turning to their traditional method of political action and thought: childish attacks and name calling to belittle people that they simply have disagreements with. The tried and true method of liberals reveals its immature and ugly head whenever they feel threatened, as they certainly do now. The idea of the liberals golden boy Obama being ousted from the White House is too much for them to bear, even though many democrats will admit that he needs to go. Now, in yet another attempt to discredit anybody who is conservative, the author claims that either you hate gays or you dont. This is an extremely narrow-minded and ignorant point of view, and should not have even been published. It is an untrue statement designed to divide and alienate people who disagree with the goals and beliefs of gay-rights groups. Just because conservatives may disagree with the gay-rights movement does not mean they hate gay people. By this logic you cannot disagree with anything without hating it. Whats that? You dont support the war in Iraq? Well then you hate the military. This logic is unfair and naive, and is obviously an unfair way to divide groups of people. The author again shows his own ignorance and bigotry when he claims that the entire American South is racist. These slanderous general statements have no place in a paper that wants to be professional. If a conservative columnist for the UDK (if that even existed) were to publish an article that made statements like this, there would be an uproar and the person would be run out of office and run out of town. How about you quit supporting an enormous double standard? That would be nice. Stephen Messer is a senior in religious studies from Leavenworth.

Yesterday, 20-year-old Mariah Yeater dropped her lawsuit against Justin Bieber for fathering her child, but that doesnt mean the baby drama is over. Justin still plans to prove her wrong and take a paternity test. But could Biebs really be the daddy? Justin Bieber fathered that child. To say the opposite is as ludicrous as Ludicriss verse in the already-pretty-ludicrous song entitled Baby. The fame and affection J.B. receives has done the supernaturally impossible. With the little help of some conveniently non-fatal radioactive hairgel it has created a gigantic super phantom determined to spread Biebers infinite swag to the world. This monstrous ghoul wants to make sure it Amelia-Bedelias the shit out of the word swag this is stuff well all get. The Biebs has transcended his puny human body and is now an unstoppable phantom bent on making every girl its baby and a baby. Dont worry. Its all consensual. What girl ever says never to Biebsy Boy? This phantom is fueled by millions of sad peoples tweets begging the Biebfactor 5,000 to follow them back or even just acknowledge their existence. J-Biebz cares a lot about his fans. So much so that he is bending the laws of time, physics and the morals of his father to please every fan. Yes, it is something straight out of an episode of The X-Files. No, I have not been watching too much of that particular show lately. I suggest we find the phantoms weakness before it figures out how to find peoples real-life addresses from their Twitter handles. Because if that happens we will soon cease to be a race of humans. We will become a race of Biebumans. Chance Carmichael is a junior in film and media studies from Mulvane.

When most of us think about Justin Bieber, we think of a teen heartthrob with whom our little sisters are obsessed; just some skinny kid with a high-pitched voice and good hair. In all honesty, Bieber is the last A-list celebrity who I would think to be capable of fathering a child. Hes scrawny, baby-faced, and presumably infertile. Im not talking about the kind of infertility induced by some sort of testicular trauma. I just dont really think the kids gone through puberty. I know most of you are saying, Hes 17; of course hes gone through puberty! Well, he was only 16 years old when the child-in-question was conceived, and late bloomers happen sometimes. If you can listen to Baby and tell me you think his voice has even started changing, more power to you. We also need to consider that this girl initially accused an ex-boyfriend of fathering the child before turning to Bieber. Its easy to see that she simply wants to cause a media stir to get some attention for herself. What she probably didnt realize is that Bieber can counter-sue her for public humiliation, and shell be completely screwed. Unfortunately for her, shes probably come too far to drop the accusation. The bottom line is that when Bieber takes a paternity test and proves not to be the father, his accuser will almost certainly be mauled by hundreds of rabid Bieber fans. As awful as this may be, I wouldnt be surprised to find out that theres been a Justin Bieber look alike wandering around after his shows and deflowering his shallowly obsessed fans.

Business program ranked in top 294

The Princeton Review used student surveys to rank graduate business school programs
LUKE RANKER
lranker@kansan.com The Princeton Review ranked the Business Schools Master of Business Administration program among the best 294 business schools across the country. The review surveyed Association of Advanced Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accredited schools and compiled a qualitative review of each school. The review focuses on student surveys but also includes statistics like enrollment, average GPA and average starting salary of graduates. Dee Steinle, administrative director of masters programs, said that because the reSteinle view is qualitative and focuses on student surveys, schools are not assigned a ranking. She said she finds the reviews significant because they are written by students currently in the program. This year we came in strong with student endorsements, Steinle said, stronger than they ever have been. Steinle attributed the positive student responses to Dean Neeli Bendapudi, who took office earlier this year. The dean sets a tone of genuine enthusiasm for what we do, Steinle said. Students in the MBA program were equally as satisfied with the new deans work. The new dean is really ambitious, said Tim Rongish, a first year graduate student from Chanute. I think the new program is in the right hands. Second-year graduate student Tom Belot said that last year the change in the administration had made students a little concerned about the future of the program, but students seem happy with the new deans approach. Because he hasnt had a lot of experience with Bendapudi, Belot said he attributed the success of the program to other faculty members. Dee Steinle has done a fantastic job, he said. She knows everyone and shes really dependable. According to a news release, the Princeton Review described the MBA program as a good value for the money that offered many options in terms of international experience, including recent student travel to countries like Brazil, France, Germany, China and India. Rongish said the study abroad program was a positive aspect of the MBA program. Steinle said the schools interactions with students is probably another reason for the high endorsements. She said that because the masters program is geared toward students without business backgrounds, it focuses on individualizing the program for each student. Students know when youre genuine, Steinle said. Pratik Patel, a first year graduate student from Topeka, said his only complaint was the scheduling of program functions, such as social events, extra lectures and guest speakers. Im just opposed to coming to campus on my day off, Patel said. He said that if programs were scheduled on different days he would be able to attend more of them. Steinle said the review came at just the right time for recruiting students for the fall 2012 program, and the review is particularly useful to prospective MBA students. Its a great launching point for recruitment, Steinle said. Its great to be able to talk about it with the class of fall 2012. She said that if students are interested in the School of Business MBA program, it will be holding an informational event on Dec. 7. Edited by Alexandra Esposito

Pepper spray victims photo goes viral

SEATTLE An 84-year-old woman in Seattle has quickly become a face of the national Occupy Wall Street movement after she was hit with pepper spray during a march. A Tuesday night photo of Dorli Rainey with the chemical irritant and liquid used to treat it dripping from her chin went viral soon afterward, becoming one of the most striking images from the protests that have taken place in cities across the globe. Its a gruesome picture. Im really not that bad looking, Rainey said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press.

Seattle activist dorli Rainey, 84, reacts after being hit with pepper spray during an Occupy Seattle protest on Tuesday, nov. 15 at Westlake Park in Seattle. Protesters gathered in the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street after marching from their camp at Seattle Central Community College.

violated his or her contract and brought in another individual without the landlords knowledge. If the landlord intentionally rented out for more people than they should, well, thats one kind of problem, said James Dunn, president of the Landlords of Lawrence Association and the owner of a number of rental properties throughout the city. Another kind of problem is when theres over occupancy based on the tenants decision. Dunn believes that the underlying reason for the code and the citys desire to crack down on violators is the increasing number of properties being built in Lawrence that are not purchased by families. The owners of these vacant homes are then compelled to rent them out to tenants, the majority of whom are students. If they have a six-bedroom monster house in west Lawrence that they cant sell, well then they have to rent it to three unrelated students, Dunn said. All the extra space for students lends itself to partying and inviting girlfriends and boyfriends to move-in, Dunn said. When students move into up-scale neighborhoods living a different lifestyle than their neighbors, the lower property values can lower,

Dunn said. Kirk McClure, University professor of urban planning in the School of Architecture Design and Planning, has conducted urban development studies in Lawrence and has a similar view concerning housing growth within the city. The pace of growth of real estate in Lawrence in the past has been too fast, McClure wrote in an email. Lawrence let real estate supply grow much, much faster than the growth in real estate demand. McClure said the city had wrongly assumed that all real estate growth is good growth. Excess space leads to decline and deterioration of existing space, resulting in the loss of value of older neighborhoods. The Lawrence page of CityData.com shows that the city has reduced its new single-family housing construction permits per 10,000 residences after the explosion of growth it experienced in the late 1990s, but that it is still above the average for the rest of Kansas. Jimenez said that there have been no housing code violations reported since the announcement of the increased code enforcement in October. Edited by Jonathan Shorman

AFFTON, Mo. A suburban St. Louis woman who claimed her 13-month-old son had vanished from his crib was charged Wednesday with murdering him, after prosecutors say she admitted beating him because he wouldnt stop crying. Shelby Dasher, 20, was arrested less than 16 hours after she reported her son, Tyler, was missing. Dasher People walking their dog found Tyler Dashers body on Tuesday near a cemetery about a mile from his home. St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch said Dasher admitted to police that she repeatedly hit her son because he was crying and wouldnt lay down, wouldnt go back to sleep. He said she also told police she disposed of her sons body. Raising children can be frustrating. There are a myriad of ways to handle that, McCulloch said. This isnt one of them. McCulloch revealed little else about the boys death, except to say it appeared he hadnt been struck with objects or weapons. He declined to say when investigators believe the child died. Police said when Dasher called to report her son missing, she told them she overslept that morning and discovered him gone from his crib when she awoke. His body was found within about 100 feet of a busy road. Dasher was being held on $500,000 cash bond. The states electronic court system did not list an attorney for her Wednesday afternoon, and a county jail worker declined to convey a request to Dasher seeking comment. Before the charges were announced, detectives and uniformed officers came and went Wednesday from the familys small frame home, which is in a working class neighborhood. Yellow police tape surrounded the home, and a large Halloween pumpkin was on the front porch. A long, wide area near the cemetery also was cordoned off. A cluster of young adults nearby cried and hugged as they watched officers mill around the scene. It wasnt clear if they were relatives of Tyler, and they declined interview requests. It says to me its a pretty sick person, St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch said. Anybody that would take a child and leave a child in a wooded area in that condition needs to be dealt with severely by the criminal justice system. Johnny Ellington, whose 24-yearold son, Joe Ellington, is Tylers father, said he knew little about the investigation beyond what had been reported in the news. He said his family had been questioned by police and that the family advised Joe not to talk to the media. Johnny Ellington, 65, said his son and Dasher were never married, and that his family saw Tyler frequently. He was just a wonderful baby and beautiful boy, he said. Neighbors described the area where the Dashers live as quiet, the people close. But several neighbors said they knew little about Dasher or her son because the family had only moved into their rented home a little over a year ago. Everybody here kind of knows each other, but not them, said Rick Angeles, 28, who lives across the street with his wife and 3-year-old son. Angeles said a lot of young people were in and out of the Dasher home frequently but he never saw anything that concerned him. Tim Adair was visiting his sisters home three houses down from the Dashers. He said Tylers grandmother came over Tuesday, distraught, and told them the boy was missing. She said she had no idea where he could be.

In reality, though, this is just a small taste of what Winter Break may be like. Collin Edwards, a graduate student from Olathe, thinks that its sad that students dwell on what theyre missing out on when theyre not at the University, rather than enjoy the short time they have with their family for the holiday. I think freshmen tend to have selfish thoughts about having to spend time with their families, but its important to realize that this time is valuable for your family, he said. It took me four years to figure that out. Edited by Stefanie Penn

Kansas practiced eugenics only 50 years ago

The Kansas state Asylum for Idiotic and Imbecile youth, University campus, established 1881.

FRom KANSAS: AN ENcYcLoPEDIA oF StAtE hIStoRY, EmbRAcING EVENtS, INStItUtIoNS, INDUStRIES, coUNtIES, cItIES, towNS, PRomINENt PERSoNS, Etc
asylum in a political battle with representatives from elsewhere in the state. It was a coup to get one of these institutions in your town, Michael Wehmeyer, a professor in special education, said. It was one of those politically desirable things: it would mean jobs, prestige. Back then, it wasnt Wehmeyer quackery, it was cutting edge, like bioscience is now. With 30,000 sterilizations across the country in 30 states, Kansas ranked sixth nationally. The Kansas Legislature passed a law in 1913 allowing for the sterilization of habitual criminals, idiots, epileptics, imbeciles, and insane. These procedures were widely accepted at the time and promoted through the philosophy of eugenics, which teaches that societies can be improved by selective breeding. The law was amended in 1917 to remove courts from the process and make it easier for health boards to have people sterilized. Even so, widespread uncertainty about the law kept the number of sterilizations in the dozens until the Supreme Court ruling in Buck v. Bell clearly approved of it. Then youve got wholesale sterilizations, Wehmeyer said. Instead of dozens of sterilizations each year in Kansas, there were hundreds. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes views reflected those that many considered, then and now, to be politically progressive. Holmes wrote the opinion of the court. It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind, he wrote. Three generations of imbeciles are enough. Thats the funny part of this, Wehmeyer said. What seems like clean-cut violations of basic human rights was part of a progressive agenda. It made for some strange bedfellows. In the 1920s, Kansas families competed in eugenics-inspired fitness contests at state fairs. Wehmeyer displayed in his office a prize medal from a Fitter Families Contest, presented by the American Eugenics Society. Yea, I have a goodly heritage, the medal read in part. Wehmeyer said he bought the medal on Ebay. The image of the medal also appears in The Child, a book written by Florence Sherbon, a University professor of home economics and a Fitter Families proponent. Wehmeyer said that the eugenics movement was driven by a complex intersection of movements. Psychology and the science of genetics were emerging together, and the industrial revolution inspired people to believe that science could solve all of their problems. The progressive movement, which was powerful in Kansas, encouraged people to work for the improvement of society. Some progressives, such as Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist William Allen White, for whom the University School of Journalism was named, fought against the eugenics movement, but its popularity carried it through the 1940s.

icummings@kansan.com Kansas was once a leader in the forced sterilization of the mentally disabled, and the University supported it from the beginning. The last known case of the practice in Kansas occurred 50 years ago, according to a database created by Lutz Kaelber, associate professor of sociology at the University of Vermont. At least 2,851 people were castrated or otherwise sterilized in Kansas hospitals between 1913 and 1961. Compulsory sterilization gradually fell out of favor and the Kansas legislature repealed the law authorizing it in 1965. The Kansas State Asylum for the Education of Idiotic and Imbecile Youth opened in North College Hall on the University campus Sept. 1, 1881. Ten-year-old Belle Abott of Johnson County entered the asylum as its first student six days later. The asylum was originally conceived as a boarding school with goals of education and rehabilitation. Over the years, the schools function turned to employing students in farm labor or simply institutionalizing them, according to a 1965 issue of the Bulletin of the History of Medicine. Within six years, the asylum had moved to Winfield, where superintendent F. Hoyt Pilcher performed 58 castrations and 150 sterilizations of patients, According to the database, many of those people were mentally ill rather than mentally disabled. Abott died at the Winfield hospital at age 29. The asylums move to Winfield was viewed at the time as a loss by the University. Lawrence lost the

The good and the bad Kallikaks demonstrate the influence of heredity. The eugenics movement fell out of favor and the number of sterilizations performed each year dropped drastically following World War II. This was partly because the philosophy of eugenics was similar to the rhetoric associated with the Holocaust, Wehmeyer said. Courts now consider forced sterilization to be clearly unconstitutional. Wehmeyer said pointing the finger at a few policy makers and physicians of the past would be the easy thing to do. There was widespread adoption and acceptance of eugenics, he said. In the 1950s, it was hard to find anyone who wasnt. Wehmeyer said it was hard to imagine such things happening

Senior forward Aishah Sutherland scores a field goal against Creighton during the second half of the game Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse. Sutherland scored a total of 16 points, and junior forward Carolyn Davis scored a total of 14 points for the 73-59 victory.

kcarpenter@kansan.com

ith the college basketball season officially underway, heres how I see the Big 12 playing out this season: 1. Baylor: The Bears are loaded in the frontcourt, led by 6-foot-11 sophomore forward Perry Jones III, who shocked experts when he bypassed the NBA draft and returned for a second season in Waco. Senior forward Quincy Acy averaged 12.4 points per game last year and fivestar recruit Quincy Miller joins both players down low. Good point guard play could take the Bears to New Orleans and the Final Four. 2. Kansas: With a thin frontcourt and only one seasoned veteran guard in the backcourt with senior Tyshawn Taylor, the Jayhawks will struggle with scoring at times. Theres still talent there, though. Another conference title wouldnt shock many people. 3. Texas A&M: The Aggies return six of their eight leading scorers and junior forward Khris Middleton will vie for All-Big 12 honors this season. Returning senior point guard Dash Harris will also be huge for the Aggies, who look to make their seventh consecutive NCAA tournament appearance. 4. Texas: Junior guard JCovan Brown is the real deal and with the departure of Dogus Balbay, who seemed to always have the ball in his hands. Brown will get plenty of chances to score. High school AllAmerican Myck Kabongo joins the Longhorns, creating quite the duo with Brown on the perimeter. 5. Oklahoma State: Upperclassmen guards Keiton Paige and JeanPaul Olukemi both average double figures in career scoring. High school All-American LeBryan Nash is a scoring machine on the wing and will be great when he adjusts to the college level. 6. Iowa State: The Cyclones are the toughest team to predict here because coach Fred Hoiberg welcomes in a slew of transfers. Chemistry will be an issue but talent is there, including former Michigan State guard Chris Allen and former Minnesota forward Royce White. Look for the Cyclones to be gelling by January. 7. Missouri: If coach Mike Anderson hadnt left and senior forward Laurence Bowers hadnt suffered an injury that ended the season for him, the Tigers would be a top-three contender this year. But thats not the case. With a new system and without its best interior defender, Missouri will struggle to guard anyone down low this season. 8. Kansas State: The loss of Jacob Pullen will really hurt Frank Martins club this year. Junior guard Rodney McGruder and senior forward Jamar Samuels will lead the Wildcats, who will have the talent advantage in Big 12 games exactly four times this season: each pair of games against the two following teams. 9. Oklahoma: Lon Kruger is a great coach, but this Oklahoma roster is pretty bad. It will take a year or two before Kruger will have any success down in Norman. 10. Texas Tech: Red Raider coach Billy Gillispie is in the same position as Kruger; a good coach who inherited a really bad roster. Both coaches will need time to recruit. Edited by Lindsey Deiter

kgier@kansan.com Kansas notched its ninth straight victory against Creighton, 73-59, yesterday evening. This gave each Jayhawk, with the exception of freshman guard Asia Boyd, an opportunity to play in the second game of the season. With 16:23 left in the game, junior forward Carolyn Davis picked up her third foul. Though Davis only played 18 minutes in her regular season debut, she shone as the star Kansas fans have come to expect. She was efficient, scoring 14 points and shooting 5 of 7 from the field. Davis returned to the starting lineup and won the tipoff for

the Jayhawks, coming off a stress fracture in her right foot. She is a tough kid and resilient, coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Freshman Bunny Williams and sophomore Tania Jackson filled in for Davis at the forward position. Filling out the front court, senior forward Aishah Sutherland played 30 minutes and recorded a double-double. She got some tough rebounds, Henrickson said. In traffic she got fouled a couple times and thats who I think she can be and that is who we need her to be. Sutherland said when Davis is out, she needs to produce more on both sides of the court.

Sutherland, too, faced trouble late in the game, finishing with four fouls. I need to work on my consistency, Sutherland said. I was really focused on getting rebounds tonight. The Jayhawks shooting was solid, as they shot 53.8 percent from the field. However, it was the 25 turnovers that stood out to Henrickson. Thats just about making better decisions because it is careless, Henrickson said. I dont know what drill you do for that. Of the 25 turnovers, 14 were committed by players in the post. Creighton was able to convert 19 points off turnovers. We are very optimistic at

times about passes that arent there, Henrickson said. We settle down and we just waste possessions. The Jayhawks faced full-court pressure for the majority of the game, which caused problems as they found themselves sped up. We just need to learn how to handle pressure, Sutherland said. Sophomore guard Keena Mays returned to the lineup after Henrickson sat her out for the first game. Mays, who started all 34 games last season, impressed with two straight steals and layup possessions late in the second half. Mays played 19 minutes and scored nine points off 4 of 6 shooting from the field.

Henrickson was pleased to see the renewed effort and enthusiasm from Mays. She has practiced better and been more consistent, Henrickson said. There is no doubt we are better when she plays well. Mays said the message was received and she is dedicated to making a difference when she is on the court. I knew whenever I went in I had to help my team, Mays said. I just want to play. Kansas will travel to Winston Salem, N.C., to face Wake Forrest at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Edited by Jennifer DiDonato

Jayhawks fall to Sooners, despite kills

maTT Galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/UDK_vball The volleyball team finished with more kills than Oklahoma in its game on Wednesday. However, it also had more than twice as many attack errors, and the Sooners handed the all-or-nothing Jayhawks another conference loss at home. The Jayhawks (14-13, 2-12) totaled 26 attack errors and eight service errors and lost to the Sooners (20-9, 7-6) in four sets at home, 20-25, 26-24, 23-25, 17-25. After trading blows in the first two sets, the Sooners captured the third by the slimmest of margins. The Jayhawks led by four points late, 18-14, but a yellow card issued to Sooners coach Santiago Restrepo seemed to inspire his squad. The Sooners went on a 6-2 run to take the lead in the moments immediately after their coach was warned, seizing the set on a kill by senior outside hitter Suzy Boulavsky. Boulavsky finished with 17 kills and only one attack error on the evening. There was a call, a little delay in the action, and then we made unforced errors, coach Ray Bechard said. A two-to-one lead after that match is a lot different than losing a tough third set. Its really frustrating. After a competitive start to the decisive fourth set, the Sooners would pull away, finishing on a 1710 run. An attack error by senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield was the game-winning point for the Sooners. In the third and fourth sets alone, the Jayhawks made 15 hitting errors compared to only three from the Sooners. I think we try to be aggressive, but the key to being aggressive and successful is that you need to be consistent, middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc said. We need to maintain that aggression but also know when its better to play the ball safe than to error. One bright spot for the Jayhawks was the emergence of freshman outside hitter Chelsea Albers, who had a career-high 10 kills and only two errors. Albers said she pinned the loss on chemistry and effort. Obviously its a beatable team, Albers said. Its just, especially near the end of the season, its a tough way to end up on our home court, to know that we didnt give enough effort to beat them when we could have. Albers echoed Jarmocs comIan TrImble/Kansan ment about playing smarter and Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield smashes the ball into Oklahomas defense.

Email details alleged Sandusky shower attack

ASSocIAtED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) A day after the former Penn State assistant football coach who is charged with sexual abuse of boys declared his innocence in a television interview, an email surfaced from a key witness against him, saying he stopped an alleged attack in the teams showers. Mike McQueary, the graduate assistant who a grand jury report said saw Jerry Sandusky allegedly sodomizing a boy in the locker room, said he stopped the act and went to police. That added confusion to the already emotionally raw situation that has enveloped Penn State University and resulted in the firing of coach Joe Paterno, the ousting of president Graham Spanier and charges of perjury against the athletic director and a former senior vice president. The Nov. 8 email from McQueary to a friend, made available to The Associated Press, said: I did stop it, not physically ... but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker room ... I did have discussions with police and with the official at the university in charge of police .... no one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds ... trust me. McQueary is a former player and current assistant coach who was placed on indefinite paid leave last week after school officials said he had received threats. Emails sent to him seeking comment were not immediately returned. He told the friend that he felt he was getting hammered for

Former Penn State football defensive coordinator Gerald Jerry Sandusky, right, arrives in handcuffs at the office of Centre County Magisterial District Judge Leslie A.

Sandusky is charged with sexually abusing eight boys. handling this the right way ... or what I thought at the time was right ... I had to make tough impacting quick decisions. The grand jury report issued Nov. 5, the day Sandusky was charged with 40 criminal counts for alleged sexual abuse against eight boys over 15 years, goes into considerable detail about the March 2002 incident. McQueary was putting sneakers into his locker late on a Friday night when, the jury said, he saw Sandusky having sex with a young boy. He left, distraught, and contacted his father and then head coach Joe Paterno, jurors said. McQueary later met with athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz to describe what he had seen, the grand jury said. Curley and Schultz are charged with not alerting authorities to the report and lying to the grand jury. Paterno lost his job last week, but has not been charged and is not considered a target of investigators,

state prosecutors have said. As a result of the scandal, Curley and Schultz have left their posts, and university president Graham Spanier was also forced out of his job. U.S. Steel said Tuesday Spanier has resigned from its board, where he had been a director since 2008. On Monday night, Sandusky said in an NBC television interview that he showered with and horsed around with boys but was innocent of criminal charges.

fRESh tALENt AND ExPERIENcE

KoRY cARPENtER
kcarpenter@kansan.com At a glance, Tuesday nights matchup between No. 12 Kansas and No. 2 Kentucky in the famed Madison Square Garden looked to be a battle of polar-opposite rosters. It was seen as the talented but young Wildcats many of them just months removed from the McDonalds High School AllAmerican game against the seasoned veterans of Kansas. Except that it wasnt. Yes, Kentucky has a staggering five McDonalds High School All-Americans on its roster, and yes, three of those are freshman. But sophomores Doron Lamb and Terrence Jones played 1,078 and 1,196 minutes last year, respectively. Senior starting point guard Darius Miller also played a lot of minutes last season, finishing with 1,178. That bests Kansas two most experienced players, Tyshawn Taylor (977) and Thomas Robinson (482), and dwarfs anyone else in the Kansas rotation. While a handful of Kentucky freshman experienced their first big-time college game in the 75-65 Kentucky victory, it wasnt much different for many of the Jayhawks. Even Thomas Robinson, who was pegged by CBS as a pre-season First Team All-American, only averaged 14.6 minutes per game last season. Both teams showed the effects of inexperience in the first half with errant passes, shaky dribbling and poor shot selection. With a 28-28 tie in the waning seconds of the first half, Tyshawn Taylor dribbled past half court. He began to make a move on a Wildcat defender but seemed to trip over his own feet, losing the ball as the final seconds ticked off the clock and leaving the half-time scored tied. Kentuckys freshmen committed more than their fair share of mistakes in the first half as well, but Kansas wasnt able to take advantage. The first 20 minutes looked like most earlyNovember games do: extra sloppy with a case of not-sure-how-to-play-together-yet for both teams. In the second half, as Kansas continued to struggle on offense, Kentuckys talent woke up. The Wildcats opened up the half with a 13-2 run and never looked back. Kansas mistakes turned into Kentucky dunks in seconds. The Jayhawks shot just 33.9 percent from the field and drives to the basket were met with the long arms of 6-foot-10 Anthony Davis and 6-foot-9 Terrence Jones, both future pros who wreaked havoc on the Kansas offense for much of the night. Kentucky coach John Calipari told ESPN that he doesnt have a good team yet. But as everyone found out, sometimes talent just takes over. It wont be the last time Kentuckys uberathleticism simply overwhelms an opponent this season, and luckily for Kansas and its fans, the Jayhawks wont see a team more talented than their opponents on Tuesday night.

Tiger meets former caddie after volatile split

ASSocIAtED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Tiger Woods, in the same group as former caddie Steve Williams for the first time since their acrimonious split, has teed off for the Americans at the Presidents Cup. Williams, fired by Woods in July, is on the bag of Adam Scott, who is partnering K. J. Australia Choi for the Internationals against Woods and Steve Stricker in one of six foursomes (alternate shot) matches Thursday. Two weeks ago, Williams made a racial slur against Woods at a caddies party in Shanghai. Williams apologized, but their on-course meeting has been one of the most-anticipated pairings of the Presidents Cup. Woods and Williams shook hands on the first tee and Woods later hit his tee shot straight down the fairway at Royal Melbourne. The Internationals took the early lead in three matches and the Americans in two, while Woods match was all square after the first. The biggest early swing came in the match involving Americans Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson, who were 2 down after three, but won three holes in a row to take a 1-up lead over Ernie Els and Ryo Ishikawa after seven holes in the opening match of the day. Watson and Simpson are Presidents Cup rookies, while Els once shot a 60 on the composite course at Royal Melbourne to win the Heineken Classic in 2004. Jason Day made a 12-foot birdie putt on the opening hole to help give him and fellow Australian Aaron Baddeley an early 1-up lead over Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar after four holes. Another Australian, Geoff Ogilvy, made a 30-foot birdie putt to help give him and partner Charl Schwartzel a 2-up lead after six holes over Bill Haas and Nick Watney of the United States. Hunter Mahan made a short birdie putt on the first to give him and David Toms the lead over the Internationals K.T. Kim and Y.E. Yang of South Korea. Retief Goosen and Robert Allenby of the Internationals took a 1-up lead over Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk after three holes. The Americans are looking to win the Presidents Cup for the fourth straight time. Royal Melbourne was the site of the International teams only win in 1998. Officials said Thursday that Fridays fourball competition would be moved up to midmorning tee times due to the threat of inclement weather in the afternoon. Five foursomes and five fourball matches are scheduled Saturday, with 12 singles matches Sunday.

Kansas eventually fell to baylor 31-30 in overtime. both individuals violated Conference rules that prohibit coaches, student-athletes, athletic department staff and university personnel from making public comments about game officials, said big 12 interim commissioner Chuck Neinas.

teams tactics pay off

RYAN mccARthY
rmccarthy@kansan.com Coming into Wednesday nights contest, the KU womens basketball team homed in on one part of their opponent Creightons play, defending three-point shooting. Earlier this week the team focused on this aspect were able to hold the Bluejays to 25 percent from three-point range and 35 percent overall. We had times where we did good and times where we laid off, junior guard Angel Goodrich said. It was the Jayhawks who came out hitting threes. Kansas finished four out of nine attempts. Somewhat of a surprise of the night was junior forward Carolyn Davis returning to the starting lineup. Davis started the game and logged significantly fewer minutes than normal but still helped the Jayhawks. Her rhythm was good and I thought she looked great, Henrickson said. She has done a great job and our trainers have done a great job. With Davis playing fewer minutes, senior forward Aishah Sutherland stepped up. Tonight she finished with a double-double including 16 points and 14 rebounds. I was focused on rebounding tonight, Sutherland said. Thats what the coaches told me to focus on and thats what I did. The Jayhawks were also solid from the line tonight as they went 13 of 14 from the line. However, they feel they could improve on the amount of turnovers because they had 25 in yesterdays game. Certainly we need to handle the ball better because we got sloppy, Henrickson said. I thought we were really aggressive early defensively and our balance was good. The Bluejays came into this game with a 2-0 record and showed why they will be a contender in the Missouri Valley Conference this season. Creightons main focus last night was to implement a full-court press on Kansas. We knew maybe we would give up a few things in that but felt we could tire Angel out or do some things to fatigue them, but their guard depth was a lot better with her, said Creighton coach Jim Flanery. Goodrich played 36 minutes, the most of any Jayhawk tonight. She finished with 12 points. We need to be consistent and continue to push and get our points in our transition, Goodrich said. Sophomore guard Carli Tritz was the leading scorer for Creighton with 12 points in 18 minutes. I think we had good confidence on offense coming into this game, Tritz said. We cant play a Big 12 team like tonight and shoot 35 percent like we did to win. Aside from Tritz, sophomore forward Sarah Nelson was another solid contributor with 11 points. edited by Sarah mcCabe

1. LSU (Last week, 1)

ole Miss doesnt have nearly the talent of Wisconsin, but lSU cant overlook it and turn it into a trap game on the road with No. 6 arkansas coming to town a week later.

17. wisconsin (Last week, 18)

the actual badgers are a victory against Illinois from playing in a de facto title game for the big ten leaders title. or is it legends? I can never remember. With ohio State and Penn State scandals this year, the divisions should be renamed Scandal and tarnished.

9. Stanford (Last week, 4) 2. oklahoma State (Last week, 2)

Iowa State should provide a prethanksgiving feast for the Cowboys high flying offense to gobble up. the Cardinals bCS title hopes were dashed in their loss to oregon. but they still have future Nfl first pick andrew luck guiding their team for three more games.

18. michigan (Last week, 24)

With four big ten teams ranked in a row, Im pretty sure the computer has no actual clue which team is better and put them in order hoping theyd shake themselves out over the final week.

10. Boise State (Last week, 5)

the broncos are holding kicker tryouts after their dreams of crashing the bCS were dashed by their place kickers inability to make a field goal with the game on the line for the second year in a row.

3. Alabama (Last week, 3)

the Crimson tide is waiting to pounce on the first sign of trouble from oklahoma State with the hopes of getting a rematch with lSU in the bCS title game.

19. tCU (Last week, NR)

boise State knows it has finally made it to the big boy table when any time it loses, its opponent jumps straight into the bCS top 25.

11. houston (Last week, 11)

It only took Case Keenum six years to capture the NCaa record for passing touchdowns. Now he has Houston on the verge of making it to a bCS bowl game.

20. Southern miss (Last week, 22)

theyre only around if they give C-USa foe Houston a run for their money in the conference title game.

4. oregon (Last week, 7)

the Ducks are the other team vying for a rematch with lSU. they flew together in defeating Stanford, putting themselves back in bCS contention.

12. South Carolina (Last week, 13)

the Gamecocks get a break this week, welcoming the Citadel to town. It should be easy pickings before they finish the regular season by welcoming Clemson to town.

21. Penn State (Last week, 12)

Not sure how a team without a head coach could be challenging for a conference title.

5. oklahoma (Last week, 6)

Its not a big game, so Sooner fans shouldnt worry about baylor knocking them out of big 12 contention.

13. Kansas State (Last week, 14)

Quarterback Collin Klein leads the NCaa with 24 rushing touchdowns. Hes also third in rushing attempts with 241.

22. Baylor (Last week, 25)

If sneaking past the Jayhawks in overtime is considered worthy enough to move up in the standings, Im wondering why the bears are out of the national title hunt.

14. Georgia (Last week, 15) 6. Arkansas (Last week, 8)

Mississippi State could be a let down game if arkansas is more focused on its matchup with lSU in two weeks. a victory against Kentucky would clinch Georgia its first SEC east division title since 2007.

23. texas (Last week, 16)

the longhorns still have yet to find a competent answer at quarterback, but they seem content letting their rushing game take over.

15. michigan State (Last week, 17)

the Spartans are just two games (against two of the big tens worst teams) away from the first big ten championship game.

24. Auburn (Last week, 20)

I dont understand why so many SEC teams are playing fCS teams the week before their biggest rivalries, but I guess another scrimmage isnt such a bad thing.

7. Clemson (Last week, 9)

Clemson-NC States wolfpack has been lacking its bite this year. It shouldnt provide too much trouble for the tigers to dispatch this weekend.

16. Nebraska (Last week, 19)

after losing to Northwestern and barely beating a Penn State team without a head coach, fans are left wondering if Nebraska really wants to win the big ten title this season.

25. Florida State (Last week, NR)

the Seminoles better keep their guard up and not overlook Virginia this weekend. the Cavaliers are sitting just behind Virginia tech in the division standings and the aCC Coastal division title is within striking distance.

Aggies give a different challenge to offense

EthAN PADwAY
epadway@kansan.com twitter.com/UDK_B12Fball The offense found its rhythm Saturday against Baylor, moving the football consistently throughout the game for the first time since the team entered Big 12 conference play. This week, the Jayhawks will try to get similar results offensively against a defensive scheme thats the opposite of the schemes theyve faced the past two weeks. Iowa State and Baylor were pretty standard in what they did defensively, coach Turner Gill said. Now we go against A&M, where theyre multiple in what they do and how they do things and try to cause a lot of havoc on the defensive side of the ball. Gill said this would give Kansas a challenge. The Aggies use multiple fronts to disguise their defense and put pressure on the quarterback. The team blitzes more frequently than most teams in the Big 12. The Aggies have been successful in their blitzes, ranking second in the nation in sacks per game. They want to hit the quarterback and rattle him, so we have to be good in protection, Chuck Long, offensive coordinator, said. The blitzing brings extra pressure on quarterbacks, but opens up holes in the Aggies secondary.The talented quarterbacks of the Big 12 have found those holes, leaving the Aggies second to last in the NCAA in passing defense. You have to find where they settle and hit the spots, Long said. I will say its a lot tougher on younger quarterbacks than it is on older guys. Guys whove been around and have seen all that from week to week, they can pick it out. While their secondary has been exposed, up front the Aggies are stout, ranking 20th in the nation in rushing defense. With the Jayhawks relying heavily on their run game, the teams will be pitted against each other in a strength vs. strength matchup when the Jayhawks have the ball. We want to maintain ourselves, establish ourselves as a running team, senior center Jeremiah Hatch said. Thats what we want to do, we want to run the ball. With the Aggies ranking in the top 20 in the nation in passing, rushing and scoring, the Jayhawks will need to win the battle on offense to keep up. If they dont, they could end up leaving the state of Texas humiliated for the second time this season. Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb said Kansas would have to take what the Aggies defense dishes out and run the ball when possible. But when it comes down to it, you have to take the play thats called and make it work, Webb said. Edited by Jonathan Shorman

Recalling memorable events from 2008

Tyrel reed reflects on heartbreaking losses to Kansas state, Texas and Oklahoma state and an important team meeting
In todays excerpt, Tyrel talks about his freshman year, the march to the 2008 Final Four and a players-only meeting that changed a season and lifting the Final Four Monkey off his coachs back. Our first big road test that year was at Southern Cal, which had O.J. Mayo, who was one of the top players in that class. We were up by two points in the final minute, but the clock was such that unless we got an offensive rebound on a miss, USC was going to get another possession. With a few seconds left on the shot clock, Mario took a deep threepointer that probably wasnt a very good shot at the time. Im guessing Coach was thinking that was a terrible shot so late in the clock, but once it went in I think all was forgiven. We didnt know it at the time, but there was some foreshadofficial about this meeting. It was just sort of like, Hey, were going to Henry Ts, and everybody showed up. I imagine the other people in the restaurant were pretty curious about all this. Because we all have different schedules, its pretty rare to see the entire basketball team in the same place at the same time unless were playing in a game or something. But there we all were. The idea was that if you had something to say, this was the time to say it. If you had some issue with a teammate or a coach, get it off your chest here and now. You could say whatever you wanted to say, no holds barred. In other words, what we said mattered less than the fact we were saying things. I think it was a turning point. There might have been a little animosity and guys were maybe saying stuff to other people instead of coming out in front of everybody and saying how they felt. It was a 45-minute meal and we were out. I think we grew closer that night. I wouldnt expect people to fully understand what that was all about. There are probably 3,000 different stories going around, and although I dont think it happened in this case, sometimes players like to kind of mess with the media a little bit, or say something they dont understand. We beat Iowa State in Ames in our next game, and then it was on to the rematch with K-State. Allen Fieldhouse was on fire that night. So loud. Its like that any time we play K-State, but I think the fans were a little extra pumped because Michael Beasley had said they were going to beat us in Manhattan, they were going to beat us in Lawrence, and they were going to beat us in Africa. Now, as players, were all the same age and we realize we say dumb things at times. Im guessing Mike 16. Which put us in the Elite Eight, where we had lost the year before, against Davidson, who was everybodys Cinderella story. As much as you try to ignore everything, there are certain facts that people just wont let you forget. We were aware that all of coach Self s best tournament runs had ended in the Elite Eight. It had happened to him at Tulsa, Illinois, and twice at Kansas. And we were also dealing with the Cinderella thing. Everybody wanted them to win, and they were on a roll. Stephen Curry was great, and they had another guard that was very good and a big guy, also. There is a lot of pressure to perform well. Not just at Kansas, either. But you really feel those NCAA Tournament losses. You feel like youre letting people down. Anyway, we played like we felt the pressure that night. It was a tight, low-possession game. On the last possession, we put Brandon on Curry. He was our best overall defender and we were pretty sure Curry was going to be taking the shot. But Brandon fell down, Mario took Curry and he passed it off to their other guard, who put up a long three that would have won it. I was on the sideline, Im sitting there, leaning out, and it looked like that shot was going in. My heart was thumping. I think coach Self s was, too. He collapsed

We realized we werent invincible, and one of the outcomes was the realization some things needed to be said, some things needed to be heard and we needed to sort it all out as a team.

owing in that shot. We had a couple other tough road games that year. We won a close one at Georgia Tech, and played really well at Boston College, blowing them out. Our record was 20-0 when we went to Manhattan to play KState. We had never lost in Bramlage Coliseum before, and it was 24 years old. Now that I think about it, thats pretty crazy. Bramlage was always the toughest arena I played in, and I have no idea how those teams that came before us never lost there. We went over there expecting to win, just the same as we expect to win every game. But I think K-State had no doubts they were going to win that game. They had Michael Beasley and Bill Walker and it was supposed to be a big year for K-State. Well, it was their night. The building was so loud, and they played really well. That was Jan. 30. We lost again at Texas on Feb. 11 in a game I dont think there is much to say about. The one that really shook us was two games later at Oklahoma State. The week leading up to that game was a tough one for us, especially Darnell. He had been through a lot of tragedies already in his life, and his cousin had been killed earlier in the week. Sherron was hurt too, and didnt play much (11 minutes). That loss shook us up a little bit. We realized we werent invincible, and one of the outcomes was the realization some things needed to be said, some things needed to be heard and we needed to sort it all out as a team. The manifestation of this was that some guys on the team I cant remember who decided we ought to go to Henry Ts for dinner as a team, an event which I am now aware has taken on something of a legendary quality. I assume this is at least partially because nobody outside the team knows exactly what happened there, except that we never lost again that season. So heres the story: Henry Ts is a sports bar known for its wings and burgers. It has one extra large booth in one of the corners, which suited us fine. There was nothing

to the floor. I can only imagine what a weight was lifted off his shoulders. The locker room was funny. When we got in there, we were all calm and cool. Coach Self walked in there and he was like, What are you guys doing? Lets celebrate. He was jumping around, we threw a bucket of water on him, and we started throwing water on each other. It probably got out of hand and we had to stop. I guess Darnell said coach Self teared up. I dont remember him bawling or anything, but there were definitely those emotions

w o u l d like to have that one back. Or maybe he wouldnt. I dont know. At any rate, it turned him into an even bigger target for our fans than he already was (which was pretty big). Kansas got up by 24 in the second half and won 88-74. We had one more chance for a revenge game that year, and it came in the Big 12 championship game against Texas. The memorable thing about that game was how well both teams played. It was almost surreal to watch. If youre a basketball fan, that had to be fun to watch because of the pure skill and talent on display. Thats one of the better halves of basketball that Ive witnessed. The NCAA Tournament is a totally different animal from the regular season. You get funky game times; you dont know who youre going to play. Its weird. The stands are often half full and even the half that is there is a mix of a few different teams fans. We played Portland State in the first round. Then we had a nice game against UNLV and whipped Villanova pretty hard in the Sweet

overtaking him at that time. I can only imagine coaching in college basketball for so long and coming so close. Youre so defined by that last game in college. I think we need to be held accountable for losing in the NCAA Tournament, but we try not to let it define us as a team. Things happen. Its tough when people say we had a bad season. You wish it wouldnt be that way, that you went 35-3 but didnt have a good year. I think at a lot of places that would be a pretty good year. The Davidson win was really a pressure release in a lot of ways. I felt like once we got to the Final Four, there was a sense of calmness. Reed All About It: Driven to be a Jayhawk
