TOMS founder addresses students

BY ROSHNI OOMMEN
roommen@kansan.com Since he started TOMS Shoes in 2006, Blake Mycoskie has helped give more than 400,000 pairs of shoes to children in need. And tonight hes coming to the University to give advice on philanthropy. Tickets became available Jan. 11, and already more than 1,000 people from the Lawrence community have picked up tickets to attend Mycoskies lecture, said Susan Hoffman, assistant director of Student Union Activities Programs for Student Union Activities. The lecture is part of SUAs 2010 Student Lecture Series. TOMS is a company that gives one pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair purchased, a plan they call one-for-one. SUAs social issues coordinator Rachel Anderson said Mycoskie will be speaking about social entrepreneurship, or the social aspect of business. We felt that this was a really good program to bring to KU because of his business strategy, said Anderson, a junior from Manhattan. Hes changing entrepreneurship. Anderson said its important for students to see the social and moral aspect put to the front of business thinking. Hes putting a human face on how business can affect the world in a positive way, she said. Hoffman said Mycoskies message is especially pertinent to students. Its important that college students remember to think more about each other than just themselves, she said. SUA has been involved with bringing speakers like Mycoskie to campus for several years, Hoffman said. She said this year, the young entrepreneurs lecture will be a big event for the group. Im excited to hear his story, and what he has planned for the future, Hoffman said. Hes a young entrepreneur thats caring and giving back to people all over the world. The TOMS movement, which began in 2006, has become popular across the country, including here at the University. Cherie Gossett, the campus representative for TOMS Shoes, is also founder of the TOMS Shoes University of Kansas club. Gossett, a junior from Olathe, said the group will have an information table in the Lied Center at the event. I support TOMS because its a strong company with strong values, Gossett said. They react quickly with natural disasters, like in Haiti, and help people in need. Besides supporting tonights lecture, the TOMS Shoes University of Kansas club has several events planned this semester to support the cause, including a documentary viewing in February and an event in April called Style Your Sole, which allows students to customize their shoes.

Food culture worries experts

Faculty members host discussion on rising concern
BY BRENNA lONg
blong@kansan.com Food does more than sustain the body; it shapes and defines culture, according to a group of KU faculty members wanting to raise awareness of Americas troubling food culture. Yesterday the group of three faculty members hosted Food For Thought: The Culture of Food In The United States in the Kansas Union. The event focused on the relationship between food and culture and included discussions on food production, distribution and consumption in the U.S. The culture has come to bring us something we take for granted, said Sara Thomas Rosen, associate vice provost for research and graduate studies and the events moderator. We dont think about how the shrink-wrapped meat bought at the grocery store came to be. The event brought together faculty from different disciplines to talk about the links of food and culture.

Grant program lets artists develop

BY AlISON CuMBOw
alisonc@kansan.com Mark Cowardin is interested in the connection of people and nature a connection he tries to show through his sculpture. Cowardin, a 1998 graduate and professor of sculpture at Johnson County Community College, will exhibit his art in a gallery this fall. What hes hoping to do this spring, however, is bring his sculpture to the streets. To do that, Cowardin will apply for a new program through The Spencer Museum of Art and Kansas Citys Charlotte Street Foundation to be awarded up to $4,000 for his project. The Rocket Grants program will provide $40,000 to artists within an 80-mile radius originating from downtown Kansas City, which includes Lawrence.

Sociology Department lecturer Shelley Koch, Associate Professor of Psychology Ric Steele, and Anthropology Professor Don Stull answer and discuss student questions at event Food For Thought. The presentation and discussion centered around the psychology and culture of food in the American landscape and what the growing rate of obesity means in todays society. anthropology, Ric Steele, associate professor of applied behavioral science and Shelley L. Koch, lecturer in sociology, lead the discussion. Stull covered the area of production, having researched multilingual and multicultural work forces at meat packing plants. Food is an integral part of culture, Stull said. Its essential to life. Koch looked at social aspect of moving food from the supermarket shelves to homes and where people gather their information about nutrition and the worries they have. It involves connecting everyday people with the corporate people making decisions, she said. Her studies focus on the dietary needs of families with children, and specifically, obesity. Steele examines pediatric obesity with funding from foundations, state and federal sources. Its hard to open the newspaper or turn on a news report without hearing about obesity,

QUOTE OF THE DAY

When tasting wine, hold the wine in the mouth for a moment or two and then either swallow it or, preferably, spit it out, usually into a spittoon. A really good wine will have a long aftertaste, while an inferior wine will have a short aftertaste.

Catholic priest caught shoplifting

WeST cITY, Ill. A Roman catholic priest was accused of shoplifting butter and a sofa cover at a Wal-mart in southern Illinois. Police arrested 41-yearold the Rev. Steven Poole on Friday. Hes charged with two felony theft counts. Investigators said Poole failed to scan a $3.22 container of butter and a $60 sofa cover at a self-checkout.

Poole then allegedly went to the stores bedding section, picked up a memory foam mattress and switched the pricing bar code. That caused the $145 item to be scanned for $31.

Obese dog is now thawed and healthy

SHeBoYGAN FALLS, Wis. A year after a morbidly obese dog froze to a Wisconsin sidewalk, the border collie mix has lost 40

pounds and is slowly returning to an active lifestyle. Jiffy is still portly, but his owner said hes finally moving like a regular dog. The dog weighed about 120 pounds when he froze to the sidewalk in December 2008 in single-digit temperatures. His dense layers of fat probably helped him survive. Afterward a court ordered Jiffys owner to give him up.

We have to do that, too. that just sounds like a nightmare. that doesnt sound like any fun at all.

Do you try to educate people about music history through your work?

We love a lot of music and love a lot of records and we love making it, too. thats really the driving force behind what keeps us together and keeps us going. Whats your creative process for writing songs with Yo La Tengo? All the songs come from playing together. None of us really sit at home and craft songs to teach to the others, we just get together and play. Music is an extension of our conversations and of our friendship. It feels natural.

Member of indie group interviews with Jayplay

james McNew, bassist for yo La tengo, spoke with jayplay in a phone interview last week. McNew joined the husband and wife duo of Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley in 1992. Popular Songs is Yo La Tengos 12th album. After working with Ira and Georgia for so long, how do you keep going, keep things fresh? I wish I had an answer, but I dont. And I think the fact that I dont have a ready answer to that question we get asked a lot is the key. to have no answer to such a broad, obvious question Im all in favor of that. Its really more fun to attribute it to magic. Yo La Tengo is referred to as a so-called indie super-group a popular underground band. How do you like this seemingly oxymoronic reputation? Its not as though were not happy when people like what we do. Its awesome when that happens. We are well known in certain circles but, then again, were not known at all. It just kind of depends on who youre talking to with the staff at KjHK, were practically Lady Gaga, but with the people who work at the grocery store in my neighborhood, they dont know who we are. So maybe thats something to work for. Yo La Tengo has been around a long time and garnered a lot of critical acclaim for each one of its albums. How do you find your music changing over time? Do you try to keep relevant to trends going on now? We like to make music thats kind of challenging to us and we like to move outward when were writing songs and playing songs,

Editorial: Haiti needs much more Balance in pageantry

Two weeks after an enormous earthquake left much of Haitis capital in ruins, the foreign-backed relief effort continues to pour in. The extent of international support and solidarity has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. Yet Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, needs much more. Haitis government estimated the death toll tops 150,000 in the capital city of Port-au-Prince. More than 600,000 people are homeless in the city with a population of 2 million. Though the numbers are difficult to discern, as many as 200,000 are feared dead nationwide. The problems that theyve had from watching CNN and everything are just beginning, mens basketball coach Bill Self said in a press conference last week. We should do everything to help the people that cant help themselves. We couldnt agree more. Though the road to recovery is long, hope remains for those who survived the worst earthquake in the region in more than two centuries. Donors have contributed more than $380 million to 35 U.S. nonprofit groups, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropys most recent estimates. The $380 million is an impressive start, but not enough for Haiti to fully recover. On a local level, the Athletics Departments fundraiser last week was a good start for the University, but more can and should be done by students and faculty. As Coach Self said, now is only the beginning. A $10 donation from every student on the Universitys Lawrence Campus would raise more than $250,000 for Haiti relief efforts. While $10 may not seem like much eauty pageants have been used to celebrate women for decades. Sure, their roots were less than balanced, but many modern pageants promote self-esteem, personal achievements and world-view thinking. Pageants have also substantially broadened their contestant base: seniors, children, plus-size, and, finally, transsexuals. A transsexual is someone whose inner gender is mismatched with his or her birth sex. This often leads to surgery to reconcile a persons outer and inner identities. In the past, such transformations were stigmatized, but Trans pageants, though less broadly publicized, have been around for years. The big one, Miss Tiffany Universe Transsexual Beauty Pageant in Thailand, is coming up on its thirteenth year. Unfortunately, there arent very many others in other parts of the world. Las Vegas has hosted a small pageant since 2004. Last year, India had its first. Still, theres definitely room for more; we should embrace what we can learn from the conduct of trans pageants. Flipping through photos of some of the contests, Im amazed by how beautiful the women are and not just physically. The winners have a magnificent, ladylike glow and the uniquely female happiness that makes every woman attractive. Thats what these pageants are about: Recognizing transsexuals femininity rather than portraying them as stereotypical clumsy knock-offs. By proxy, they promote femininity on a grander scale. It doesnt matter that the outsides of these people used to be male; inside, they are, and always have been, beautiful women. Specialty pageants, be they plus-size, senior, or trans, reinforce the message that identity is something to celebrate. Thats something that even the traditional twentysomething beauty crowd should be able to get behind. Ive always been impressed with the variety of LGBT and womens

to us, but it can make all the difference to those fighting for survival in Haiti. The 7.0-magnitude earthquake proved to be a devastating blow to a country already suffering from political instability, widespread poverty and perilous health conditions. With the international spotlight shinning brightly on Haiti, the devastated country has not only the chance to rebuild what was lost, but also to rectify problems existing before the Jan. 12 earthquake. Lets not see Haiti squander that opportunity. For those interested in donating, here are a few helpful tips: 1. Donate money. Clothing, food and medicine are crucial for any relief effort, but its best to let aid agencies purchase those essentials. Shipping costs are high, and many experts warn against wasteful giving. A few dollars goes a lot further than canned baby food or bottled water. 2. Keep it simple. Donating is easier than ever thanks to modern technology and the Red Cross.

studies classes that the University offers. Making those topics as prominent as more traditional studies has made me feel like I fit in. And, thats saying something; for a bisexual goth chick in the Midwest, fitting in isnt easy. Having a student-run pageant could have similar effects on the student body. Lawrence is a prime spot for a grass-roots trans pageant. Its the only city in Kansas that has anti-discrimination laws for sexual orientation. Last fall, KU Professor Maggie Childs even led the charge to include gender identity in those laws. Whats more, KUs annual Pride Week already brings in performers and hosts an informal drag show; slap the two together and there are the seeds of a pageant. The KU student body alone may not have enough transsexuals to fill a pageant, but there are plenty of trans women within driving distance. Kansas City boasted a successful trans group for 20 years (Kansas City Crossdressers and Friends), with members hailing from Manhattan to Springfield, Mo. Better yet, why not open a pageant to all women? Allowing trans and natural-born women to participate in a beauty pageant together is the next logical step in accepting transsexuals as the beautiful women they are. Throughout time women have been able to do amazing things by banding together. Its time to pull our trans sisters into the fold and accomplish even moreand look great while doing it.

Trying to understand life in a small town

My wife has been going on excursions lately. A couple of weeks ago she went out to Hiawatha. This past Saturday she went to Gardner. These are not the only places she has gone; just a couple of the names that I recall. Actually, she went to almost every town on the way, and if she didnt go to it, she at least drove through it. Her description of these towns often included the word quaint, which is one of those words that makes me want to flip out. I mean, how many synonyms for unusual, weird or bizarre do we really need in common usage? In addition to her description of the quaintness of towns, she also provided more substantial descriptions of the attractions she visited. In listening to her recounts, I could just imagine some town in western Kansas that has an Amelia Earhart museum next door to a recently-closed tearoom. Across the street from the museum is Anthonys Caf, with surprisingly good food. Next door to the caf is probably John Browns cabin, which he used to defend freedomor something. But, honestly, I dont care enough to keep track of all the details of my wifes trips. Thats why she has promised me I can actually come along on the next trip: an excursion to an attraction that fits my interests in Kansas City. Now, thats a city big enough for me to understand.

arlier this month, a New York City woman discovered trash bags filled with hundreds of pieces of clothes from a local Wal-Mart. This would have been a fantastic find, if each piece hadnt had a hole torn into it by a machine, making them impossible to wear. The New York Times, which first broke the story, also met another couple, who found similar piles of destroyed, yet brand-new pieces of clothing. The reason for this destruction is unknown. Think of people in Haiti, and all over the world who have lost everything because of a natural disaster or other tragedies they didnt cause. Now think about these major corporations carelessly destroying brand new clothes and shoes. This doesnt make sense. In college, it is typical to go through phases and changes in personal styles. As trends change, wardrobes are updated with new pieces and the old are tossed aside. But, trashing old clothes is not acceptable. For those fortunate enough to buy new clothes, there should be the willingness to take time to help out those who cant, or at least put the clothes to good use. Here are a few suggestions. 1. Donate; Dont be like WalMart or H&M: If youre not going to wear something, let someone

else. Box up old pieces and bring them to family and friends to see if they want anything. Then, take whats left to the Salvation Army, Goodwill or a clothing drive. My favorite place to donate is Savers. Every time I donate there I get a discount on my next purchase. Savers carries clothes, shoes and accessories for men, women and children, as well as housewares and furniture. Not only do they have amazing prices, but they sell vintage clothes and trends from today to cater to a variety of styles. While dropping off donations, be sure to check out whats for sale. Most of these stores have good prices, and the proceeds usually go to non-profit organizations and charities. 2. Trade or Sell: Lawrence is filled with fabulous vintage and consignment shops that will buy your old clothes and even let you trade your pieces for some of theirs. Try Arizona Trading Company and Wildman Vintage on

wMassachusets Street to make some money on retro chic pieces. Or, head over to the Consignment Flea Market or Lasting Impressions to sell clothing on consignment. This allows you to get back some of the money spent on clothes, while someone else can enjoy them. 3. Recreate: Old clothes make great materials for art projects. Take old jeans and cut them into shorts. Use T-shirts from memorable activities to make a T-shirt quilt or pillow cases. Cover a rectangular piece of cardboard with an old skirt to create a fun bulletin board. A needle and thread, scissors and a hot glue gun are all you need to reconstruct outgrown clothes into something one-of-a-kind and wonderful. Next time you consider trashing your old stuff think of the good you could do with it. Whether youre giving your clothes to a friend, donating to those in need, making some extra cash or giving your old clothes new life, you will help reduce waste and keep your clothes alive. Green fashion doesnt necessarily mean wearing organic cotton. Reusing and recycling things from your wardrobe is a fantastic way to dress eco chic.

Hurt Locker gains ground

Success at PGA awards puts film back in competition for Oscars
Mcclatchy-tribune
LOS ANGELES After being shut out at the Golden Globes last week and the Screen Actors Guild awards on Saturday night, The Hurt Locker won the Producers Guild of Americas Darryl F. Zanuck producer of the year award on Sunday. The award went to producers Kathryn Bigelow (who also directed), Mark Boal (who wrote the screenplay), Nicolas Chartier and Greg Shapiro. The heart-pounding drama about a bomb-defusing unit in the Iraq war had won several recent critics honors but lost footing after the Globes chose Avatar as best dramatic film and the SAG film ensemble award went to Inglourious Basterds. Taking home the top PGA prize has put the low-budget indie back on the fast track for Oscar gold. The PGA award has become a strong bellwether for the Academy Award for best film. During the last 20 years, 13 previous PGA winners have gone on to win the best film Oscar. The last time the PGA and the academy disagreed was four years ago, when the producers gave their top honor to Little Miss Sunshine and the Oscar went to The Departed.

Game to remember
Aldrich led the Kansas charge with his best performance since his triple-double against Dayton in last years NCAA Tournament. His seven blocks were such a dominant performance that even the Tigers admitted timidness in his shadow. His presence altered guys shots and guys were hesitant to go into the lane, Missouri forward Justin Safford said.

Its hard to call anyone out after a 19-point drubbing of an arch-rival, but Collins 2-for-11, six-point, two-assist, four-turnover performance was certainly less than sparkling. He was the only Jayhawk to play more than five minutes and not score at least seven points.

Quote of the night

Growing up in Kansas, for me, since I was a little kid, youve known about the Kansas-Missouri rivalry. You know, being in grade school and not liking the kid next to you because he was a Missouri fan. Its that big a deal to people around here. I have a great time playing them, theyre a good program, but whenever we have a chance to go against them, I want to beat them as bad as we can.

Jayhawks dominate court in first half

kansan.com/tdwyer www.twitter.com/T_Dwyer Cole Aldrich took a Xavier Henry pass, hung in the air for way too long for a man of his size and threw down an alley-oop. The Jayhawks went up 3-0, the crowd went into a frenzy, and the rout was on. The three Kansas big men who saw significant playing time Aldrich and the Morris twins combined for 38 points, 36 rebounds and eight blocks as the Jayhawks laid an 84-65 hurting on the Missouri Tigers. Marcus has been playing great lately, Aldrich said. Kieff has had great times over the last few games, and Im starting to get back to where Ive been playing. It was a safe bet that the Jayhawks frontcourt, which may well be the deepest in the country, would overpower the Tigers unspectacular posts, but not even the stoutest of Jayhawks fans could have seen this coming. If it had been a heavyweight title bout, the refs would have called the fight after round one. The Jayhawks were leading by 20 and had a rebounding margin of plus 22. Unfortunately for the Tigers, it wasnt boxing, and the beating continued for another 20 minutes. Our big guys were unbelievable on the glass in the first half, Bill Self said. They were great.

(15-12) 9:01- everyone and their mother thought Brady Morningstar was going to pass the ball to Cole Aldrich, but Morningstar no-look passed it to Marcus Morris who finished and drew the foul. (23-15) 1:41- After getting an andone layup, Tyshawn Taylor missed a free throw and Cole Aldrich tried to get the rebound. Instead of grabbing the rebound, he unintentionally tipped the ball in the basket for essentially a four-point play. oops. (43-27) End of Half- Brady Morningstar chucked up a three pointer from WAY behind the arc and it bounced all over the place until finally dropping in. This was indicative of the entire first half for Kansas. (50-30)

continued its dominance in the paint. The Jayhawks doubled up Missouri in rebounding, 56-28. They doubled the Tigers up in points in the paint, 36-18. They outblocked the Tigers 9-2. They dominated basically every statistic a frontcourt can dominate. Give Kansas credit for taking the fight to us, Missouri coach Mike Anderson said. They really dominated the glass, and that was really surprising to me. Aldrich was the unquestioned star of the show, swatting away seven Missouri shots like so many flies, and tying Danny Manning for fifth on the career blocks list with 200. Ever since I was 6-foot in sixth grade Ive tried to block shots, Aldrich said. I just try to make a presence in the lane. I could sense it a little bit, because they were hesitant to drive a little bit. Im just going to continue to do it. Thats just the player I am and I love blocking shots. The whooping Kansas bigs issued Monday night was so thorough it didnt even stop inside. It continued behind the three-point line, when both Morris twins hit a three in the second half.

2ND HALF
17:47- After starting the half with two three-point plays, Xavier Henry responded to Mizzou hitting his second and third threes of the game. His recent struggles brought about laughs of lifted frustration after he made them. (56-36) 15:35- Cole Aldrich gave Keith Ramsey a complete facial with his seventh block of the game.

Key stats
Mizzou shot just 19-of-68 from the field, good for an abysmal 27.9 percent. Its the lowest shooting percentage of any Kansas opponent this year.

half, but they continued to fight. They showed some great poise. Xavier Henry looked back to his old self. The bad news was all the calls went against him whether it was a berserk turnover or the ball rolling just off the rim. He finished with nine points and five turnovers, but he did look better, despite the numbers. Sherron Collins didnt have to do much and nor did he, finishing with six points on 2-11 shooting. Now the Jayhawks go on the road to face their other rival, Kansas State. Looking good on most facets of the game, Reed is ready to play the highly contested matchup. Weve got a little momentum here, he said. Might as well face them right away. Edited by Anna Archibald

Jan. 1st. In his last seven games, Henry has shot 29 percent. Henrys problems were overshadowed against Missouri. Aldrich nearly recorded a tripledouble and he gained most of the attention. When referring to the play of Aldrich against Missouri, coach Bill Self said, Cole was great. Cole and Tyrel were our two best players today. We had some guys shooting the ball that shouldnt have been shooting the ball in that situation. The ball should have been going to Cole and giving him a chance to score. Could Self be referring to Henry, who was three of eight from the field? I think he might be.

Goodrich undergoes surgery for torn ACL

Redshirt freshman guard Angel Goodrich had surgery yesterday on her right knee. Goodrich tore her AcL and damaged the meniscus in her right knee during a 70-68 loss against oklahoma State on Jan. 12th. The loss is still kansas lone defeat at Allen Fieldhouse this season. Goodrichs season ended

short last year when she tore the AcL in her left knee during a preseason practice. The Tahlequah, okla., native was a focal point to kansas offense this Goodrich year, averaging 6.8 points and a team-leading 7.1 assists per game as the starting point

guard. It took Goodrich only 13 games to become the fastest Jayhawk to reach 100 career assists. She had a season-high 20 points in a victory against creighton on Dec. 13 and tallied 11 assists on two separate occassions. She ranked second in the Big 12 and fourth in the NcAA in assists before the loss against oklahoma State.

Bill Haas wins Hope Classic

ASSOCIATED PRESS
LA QUINTA, Calif. Bill Haas made a short birdie putt on the 18th hole to earn his first PGA Tour victory at the Bob Hope Classic on Monday, beating Matt Kuchar, Tim Clark and Bubba Watson by one stroke with an 8-under 64. Haas was the last of three co-leaders to play the 18th, and an outstanding approach shot allowed him to two-putt his way to a 30-under 330 finish. Kuchar and South Africas Clark both had birdie chances on the par-5 18th at the Arnold Palmer Private course, but both missed their putts. Fourth-round co-leader Watson birdied the 18th to grab a share of second place. After grinding through five rounds on four courses over six days in the rain-delayed tournament, Haas couldnt celebrate until his final shot. Hes the 27-year-old son of Jay Haas, the 1988 Hope Classic champion. After father and son practiced together in nearby Indian Wells last weekend when Bill Haas

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Abe Lemons

Never trust a Moose man

W
hen a man goes by the assumed name of Moose, you know hes only ever going to produce brilliant ideas. At least thats what Id have told you, until recently. Because, in shocking news, a man who calls himself Moose proposed something that, if were being generous, may be the dumbest thing in the history of the world: A professional basketball league which will require all its players to be naturally born United States citizens with both parents of the caucasian race. Now before you go shouting racist, Moose would like to clarify a few things. First of all, he doesnt hate minorities. He says so himself, and as a former independent professional wresting promoter, you know hes Abe Lincoln levels of honest. Moose simply asserts that white players need somewhere to ply their fundamentally sound trade, free of the birdflipping and crotch-grabbing shenanigans which he seems to think dominate NBA games. Moose calls his baby the AllAmerican Basketball Alliance. Aside from promoting the league, Moose also claims to be the commissioner. Surely he beat out a number of fantastic candidates for that honor, presenting himself as the man to lead this KKK rec league to the owners... Which as of now, is no one.

abeecher@kansan.com Not only are there no owners, there arent any teams either. Nor are there any cities which have showed the slightest inclination to have one. But perhaps most damningly of all, there arent even any players yet. Which may be the most shocking news of all. If Moose is correct, then there ought to be legions of bounce pass-loving, pick-setting, floor-slapping, charge-taking white boys just dying to play in the AABA. In what other league could JJ Reddick return to national prominence? Come to think of it, Moose could try and comprise an entire squad of ex-Dukies. I can hear it now: At center, Shavlik Randolph! Goosebumps. Local heroes Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison could reunite in the AABA as well. Then, Hinrich wouldnt have to take a back seat to Derrick Rose

any longer, and Collisons footwork might finally be appreciated. But, then again, maybe Hinrich and Collison are content where they are. You know, pulling down millions of dollars a year, competing on the world stage at basketballs highest level, not being complicit in outright bigotry, stuff like that. No, Mooses league, if it ever exists at all, can only aspire to guys who try way too hard during pickup basketball games. So if you like that sort of thing sweatbands, floor slapping, yelling shot! whenever anyone shoots the ball, Fred Hoiburg, more floor slapping and happen to be a vitriolic racist, Moose has got the league for you.

Former Kansas volleyball player, Savannah Noyes, has signed a contract to play professional volleyball this spring for the Bratislava club team based out of Slovakia.

Noyes left Kansas with 54 solo blocks, ninth all-time at Kansas, 434 sets played, fourth all-time at Kansas and a .251 hitting percentage, fifth all-time at Kansas. Former setter emily Brown also played on the same Bratislava club team in the spring of 2008.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CIty, Mo. the Kansas City royals are reshaping their entire outfield and making jose Guillen their full-time designated hitter. While introducing newcomer rick Ankiel on Monday, general manager dayton Moore said the injury-prone Guillen would be replaced in right field by david dejesus, last years left fielder. the 30-year-old Ankiel will play center and Scott Podsednik, another newcomer, will be in left. Guillen is slated to make $13 million this season. Ankiel agreed to a free agent contract last week after an unusual career in St. Louis, where he came up as a pitcher but converted to the outfield in 2006. He was doing well until running into an outfield wall last May, and his production declined after that. Ankiel says he picked the royals to sign with as a free agent because they offered him an opportunity to play center.

Henry's troubles plague team

commentary

kansas 84, missouri 65

By Max VosBuRgh

mvosburgh@kansan.com twitter.com/MVsports

herron Collins had his worst game of the year in conference play and the Jayhawks still managed to win by 19 points. That says incredible things about the talent surrounding the Associated Press preseason AllAmerican guard. So whats the problem? Ill give you a clue: it is like the variable youre missing in an equation. Its not sophomore forward Marcus Morris, who led the team with 17 points in the victory against Missouri last night. Hes averaging 18.8 points per game this year in Big 12 play. Its not junior guard Brady Morningstar, who has done a spectacular job playing such a complete and well-rounded game that he stole Tyshawn Taylors spot in the starting rotation without even scoring in double digits all year. Its not junior center Cole Aldrich. When considering his defense and rebounding, hes been dominant inside all year. His scoring has been very sporadic but he has scored in double figures his last four games. Aldrichs seven blocks last night was a season high. The problem lies with freshman guard Xavier Henry. Henry hasnt made more than four shots since the game against California on Dec. 22. His shot has looked horrendous lately. At the beginning of the year, it had a beautiful arc to it. Now hes throwing up line drives and even air-balled it twice at home against Baylor on

Tigers skinned in Showdown

Players remember rivalry fondly after 19-point win
By CoREy thIBoDEaux
cthibodeaux@kansan.com twitter.com/c_thibodeaux Call it home field advantage. Call it the thrill of the Border Showdown. Call it showing off on national television. No matter what you make of it, a beat down is a beat down. The Missouri Tigers pleaded no contest, losing 65-84 to their bitter rivals Monday night. Junior guard Tyrel Reed has known this rivalry all his life. And for the Jayhawks to stick it to the Tigers like this is the ultimate satisfaction. Every time we go against them, I want to beat them as bad as we can, he said. Reed tied a career high with 14 points and made all four of his three point attempts. After the game, he recounted his involvement in the rivalry from a young age. Since I was a little kid, Ive known about the Kansas/ Missouri rivalry, Reed said. You know, being in grade school and not liking the kid next to you because hes a Missouri fan. Its just that big a deal to people around here and I just have a great time playing them. Reed finished with a seasonhigh 14 points off the bench, going 4-4 from beyond the arc. The crowd was thundering and the Jayhawks came into the poised. Especially Cole Aldrich. A lot of fun, Aldrich said. Its a big rivalry game. You always are amped up for a rivalry game and at home, having the great fans we had tonight, it was even more fun. Aldrich completely dominated the paint against Mizzous offense, falling three blocks short of a triple double. He had 12 points and 16 rebounds. But all wasnt perfect for Kansas. The Jayhawks turned the ball over a whopping 23 times. The Tigers only had five. The second half wasnt as dominant as the first, either, but coach Bill Self wasnt sorry for the final outcome. We just kind of traded baskets the second half, he said. But Im not going to sit here and apologize for beating Mizzou by 19. The Jayhawks went into the locker room up 50-30 at the half thanks to a buzzer beating a three by Brady Morningstar that looked at first like it was going to rim out. Its always a battle, Aldrich said of the rivalry. We were up 20 at

McCray suffers after December winning streak

mrothman@kansan.com twitter.com/maxrothman Senior guard Danielle McCray was the first Jayhawk out of the locker room at yesterdays practice - just shooting. I just feel like I need to be in the gym again, McCray said. Take away your heart and all life is gone. McCray, the teams unquestioned leader, is slumping, and, suddenly, the Jayhawks seem lifeless and in need of resuscitation. After riding a seven-game winning streak in December, the harsh winds of January have frostbitten Kansas. The Jayhawks dropped five of their past six games, four of which were on the road. They are 2-6 this season when playing away from the friendly confines of Allen Fieldhouse and no one is feeling the woes of the road more than McCray. Its tough when youre struggling on the road and all you have is your team, McCray said. At home you have the fans to keep you energized and get you going. Over the past two games a 53-42

Senior guard Danielle McCray jogs off the court after fouling out with four minutes remaining in Kansas' 81-69 loss at Oklahoma on Saturday. McCray scored just seven points in the game, marking the second straight game she scored in single digits.

loss at Iowa State Wednesday and an 81-69 loss at No. 13 Oklahoma Saturday, McCray tallied her lowest scoring totals of the season: Six points in Ames and seven in Norman. Whether it was a hassling defense or just a crooked shot, something about McCray just wasnt right. When I look at film, I just wasnt in tune, McCray said. In those games, she shot 5-for-25 from the field and missed all nine of her 3-point attempts. Those numbers are way down from her season averages preceding her two-game slump: 46 percent from the field and 45 percent from three. Shes standing and watching and not ready to shoot the ball, coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Much of her offensive struggles can be attributed to defensive schemes willing to sag off of her teammates, designed for the sole purpose of shutting down McCray. Every time I had the ball, someone was in my face. There were two or three people right there, McCray said after Wednesdays loss at Iowa State.
