K2 drug task force targets two local businesses
by Annie VAngsnes
anniev@kansan.com
Two stores in northeast Kansas
that sell the herbal blend drug K2
were served with federal warrants
Thursday and one store owner was
arrested.
The Sacred Journey, 1103
Massachusetts St., had its doors
closed Thursday and wasnt letting
customers inside. Eye-witnesses
confirmed seeing people inside the
store putting items in boxes.
Lydia Shontz, an employee at The
Sacred Journey, said she arrived to
open the store at about 10 a.m. and
found the alarms
going off and
officers with the
Food and Drug
Administration
and police in
the store with a
search warrant.
Shontz said it
looked like they
had been there for
several hours before she arrived.
Shontz said the officers took
her and another employee to the
Lawrence Police Department to
inquire about
K2, how much
K2 the store sells
and employees
at the store. She
also said the offi-
cers asked about
whether the store
was selling salvia
divinorum, a hal-
lucinogen out-
lawed in the state in April 2008.
A bill banning K2 is currently
circulating through the state, but
the drug has not yet been banned.
Shontz said the police told her
the search warrant allowed the
FDA to confiscate anything that
the organization deems as being
sold as a drug in the store. She said
the FDA saw K2 as a drug, rather
than the herbal blend its sold as in
the store.
Shontz said she was expecting
the police involvement, but not
federal involvement. And not this
soon.
It sucks, Shontz said. I knew

grill session
George Foreman visits KU
Name/KANSAN
Two-time world heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman laughs duringThursday nights symposiumon the sport of boxing in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Foreman told stories of his boxing
career as well as his life outside of the ring.
by Jenny TeRReLL
jterrell@kansan.com
As applause greeted George
Foreman onto the stage, Nate
Behncke, a graduate student from
Jefferson, Wisc., held up his George
Foreman grill.
My mom is a huge George
Foreman fan. I
think I owed it
to her to come
Ill probably give
her this grill,
Behncke said
while waiting in
line to have it
autographed.
More than 400
KU students and
people from the
Lawrence com-
munity came to Thursday nights
boxing symposium featuring box-
ing world champion and salesman
George Foreman, along with boxing
journalist and KU alumnus George
Kimball.
The event began with Dr. Robert
Rodriguez, associate director of
the McNair Scholars Program and
lecturer in Latin American stud-
ies, presenting George Foremans
life story. Foreman smiled and
chuckled as Rodriguez showed a
YouTube video of Foremans first
world championship fight.
After Kimball shared his views
of boxing heroes from his book,
Four Kings,
Foreman stood
at the podium
to answer
questions.
F o r e ma n
told stories of
his life from
his pre-boxing
days as a teen-
ager when he
was a thief, to
his more recent
days as a grill salesman.
I remember thinking to myself,
If the police dont get me, Im going
to make something of myself,
Foreman said.
He also recalled his devastation
after losing to Muhammad Ali in
October 1974.
I thought Id lost my life, he
said. You got five million dollars
in the bank now, and youre so
depressed you dont even know how
to enjoy it.
Not only is Foreman a two-time
world heavyweight boxing cham-
pion, he is also an ordained minister
and successful entrepreneur.
He concluded the evening by
giving the crowd some words of
advice.
If any of you have an idea on
how to get rich, dont let anyone talk
you out of it, he said.
Rodriguez, who planned the
event, said everything went as he
hoped.
We had something for every-
one, Rodriguez said. Some history
and some laughter.

Dinosaur research
advances theory
by nAnCy WOLens
nwolens@kansan.com
Gliding Microraptor
Last week, a group of research-
ers with the University of Kansas
Natural History Museum gained
national attention with its devel-
opment of a new dino-theory
that trumps
the widely-
believed
theory about dinosaur
flight. It is one of many dis-
coveries in paleontol-
ogy that have come
out of KU.
With the
help of
Enpu Gong,
a professor
in the geol-
ogy department at Northeastern
University in Shenyang, China,
a KU team created a flight test
model of a four-winged gliding
raptor, called a Microraptor.
Researchers David Burnham,
Larry Martin, David Alexander
and Amanda Falk built the
model using model airplane
techniques. The successful
test glides done in Anschutz
Sports Pavilion proved that the
Microraptor was an effective
glider, which led the team to
the conclusion that flight began
in the trees, rather than on the
ground. The new theory is one
of several paleontology findings
at the University that tests tradi-
tional beliefs within the scien-
tific community.
Larry Martin, senior cura-
tor of vertebrate paleontology
at the Universitys Na t u r a l
H i s t o r y
Museum, said the
ground-up origin of bird flight
argues that smaller dinosaurs
gained enough speed running
on the ground that it facilitated
their ascent into the air. But,
the four-winged glider couldnt
have developed from a runner,
he said.
Imagine a small turkey or a
large chicken with feathers com-

Leonard Pitts Jr. is a Pulitzer Prize-win-
ning columnist for the Miami Herald. He
is visiting the university today to receive
the William Allen
White Foundations
National Citation
at 1:30 p.m. in the
Woodruf Audito-
rium in the Kansas
union.
The William Allen
White Foundation
trustees nominate
individuals yearly. Nominated individu-
als are professional journalists who have
made a notable contribution to an in-
formed public and who have won broad
acclaim and respect at a national level
from their peers over a signifcant period
of time, according to the press release.
Ann brill, dean of journalism, is the presi-
dent of the foundation.
The Kansan spoke with Pitts about
receiving the award.
What do you think the future of
journalism is?
There will always be a need for gather-
ing and reporting and disseminating
news and whats going on. The question
is what form it will take. i think that print
media are in a decline, and i dont know
if were going to see a reversal of that.
id frankly be happy if it stays the way
it is. The fear is that if and when print
media go away, then who is going to be
performing the watchdog function on
local and state government? National
news, broadcast news and cable news
dont do that. Local news covers local
murders, sports teams and weather. They
dont really get into originating reporting
on whats going on in the statehouse, on
whats going on in the government man-
sion. i think theres a real danger if we lose
newspapers, we lose something thats not
replaceable.
What are your thoughts on the
relief eforts in Haiti?
i am glad that theyve been so mas-
sive. i know that theyve probably been
a little bit confused at times, but i think
that is going to be part and partial of
any large efort like this. im glad that
help seems to be getting to people who
are in desperate need of it.
What kind of impression do you
want to have left on journalism?
The only thing that i hope to do as a
writer is to inspire people to think, and
maybe change some minds, but at the
very least, to think, which i dont think
we do nearly often enough. if i encour-
aged thought, id be perfectly satisfed
with that.
What does receiving this award
mean to you?
receiving an award is validation. it
means that somebody thinks youve
done a good job. And for a lot of us as
writers, we are very self-critical. And we
dont always realize when weve done
good work, so its kind of nice to have
someone to pull you out of gazing at
your own navel, and pat you on the back,
and say thats a good piece of work you
did. Thats always very welcome and very
gratifying and very much appreciated.
What do you read?
i read Miami Herald, The Washington
Post, The LA Times, CNN.com. i dont
watch too many of the news broadcasts,
i read The Atlantic monthly, entertain-
ment Weekly, Kathleen Parker, david
border, George Will, Stephen King, Larry
McMurtry, James Mcbride, novels, his-
tory, biography, non-fction. i read a lot
of stuf.

With the Oscars coming up next
month, a lot of experts are offer-
ing their opinions on what makes
movies great. Now a project by the
Lewis and Templin residence halls is
putting that decision into the hands
of University students.
The project, Lewis and Templin
Presents: The Greatest American
Movie, kicked off its first round of
voting Wednesday and Thursday
at Wescoe Beach and the Kansas
Union.
The project began with a list
of 100 movies loosely based on
a similar list from the American
Film Institute. This weeks round
of voting pared the list down from
100 to 50 movies. Over the next
three weeks, the list will be whittled
down to a list of 10, said Cody
Charles, complex director for Lewis
and Templin in an e-mail.
At that point, the voting will head
to a Greatest American Movie
website, which will host the voting
along with a forum and discus-
sion board on which students can
debate the possible winners.
On March 4, the winning movie
will be shown at the Alderson

at 8 p.m.

PHOENIX A federal judge
will decide whether to impose sanc-
tions against the Maricopa County
Sheriff s Office for its acknowl-
edged destruction of police records
in a lawsuit that accuses depu-
ties of racially profiling countless
Hispanics in immigration sweeps.
U.S. District Judge Murray Snow
heard arguments Thursday over
whether the law enforcement agen-
cy should be punished for throw-
ing away and shredding officers
records of traffic stops and for not
handing over all its e-mails about
the sweeps.
Since early 2008, Maricopa
County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has run
13 immigration and crimes sweeps
consisting of deputies and posse
volunteers who flood an area of a
city in some cases heavily Latino
areas to seek out traffic violators
and arrest other violators.
The lawsuit alleged that officers
based some traffic stops on the race
of Hispanics who were in vehicles,
had no probable cause to pull them
over and made the stops so they
could inquire about their immigra-
tion status.
Arpaio is known for tough jail
policies, including housing inmates
in tents in the desert, and push-
ing the bounds for how local law
enforcement agencies can confront
illegal immigration.
He has repeatedly denied the
racial profiling allegations, saying
people pulled over in the sweeps
were approached because deputies
had probable cause to believe they
had committed crimes and that it
was only afterward that deputies
found many of
them were illegal
immigrants.
Peter Kozinets,
an attorney for
the handful of
Latinos who filed
the lawsuit, said
the traffic-stop
records would
have helped show
that the agency
used the stops to racially profile
Latinos and that the e-mails would
have provided details of how the
i mmi grat i on
patrols were
planned and
carried out.
Ko z i n e t s
asked the
judge to draw
an unspecified
adverse infer-
ence about the
actions of the
sheriff s office,
that depositions be reopened for
sheriff s officials who have already
given testimony and that the agen-
cy pay for the costs associated with
reopening depositions and litigat-
ing the records dispute.
Timothy Casey, an attorney rep-
resenting the sheriff s office, reject-
ed that argument.
My clients acted in good faith,
he said.
Casey said the traffic-stop
records were discarded, but that
it was an honest error and that the
sheriff s office has handed over
some e-mails about the sweeps.

ists. His dad, Steve, is
an illustrator and has
worked at Hallmark for
more than 30 years.
Every night growing
up Carpenter and his dad
would sit down and draw before
they went to bed.
He never questioned what
he was going to do, said Becki
Carpenter, Tads mother. All they
did was draw.
Becki said when Tad was in
grade school, he entered a draw-
ing contest for the ticket design of
the Kansas City Chiefs. Tad won
t h e contest, which
awarded him
with season tickets featuring his
own design.
Ive always kind of known that
I wanted to do something of that
nature, Tad said.
Now his life is design. He does
his own freelance work and co-runs
Vahalla Studios, a design company
out of Kansas City, Mo.
He teach- e s
two graphic
design class-
es at the University. To top it off,
last June he married a graphic
designer who works at Willoughby
design Group in Kansas City, Mo.
Although he is a young teacher
here at the University, his students
do not mind the narrow age gap.
Hes really down to earth and
he knows whats going on, espe-
cially in graphic design, Andy
Armstrong, a sophomore from
Lansing, said.
M e l a n i e
McQuade, a
junior from
Lenexa, said
she also appre-
ciated the input
from Carpenter
because of his expe-
rience in the field.
Tad said he tried
to prepare his students
for the real world by
sharing his current proj-
ects and how that trans-
lated from the classroom
into day-to-day situations.
This month Tad is work-
ing on multiple projects.
That includes a childrens activ-
ity book with San Francisco pub-
lisher Chronicle Books, as well as
books with publisher Simon and
Schuster. He said his most exciting
project right now was designing
all of John Mayers concert post-
ers for February and March with
Vahalla.
Tad said his favorite part of
working in design was the con-
stant change.
Its always different which is
why design is so exciting, Tad
said. You become an expert in a
little field for a couple months and
then you move on.

Six years ago, Jun Kuribayashi, a
Lawrence native and 2004 gradu-
ate, was what KU students refer
to as a townie. Now, he travels
across the country to perform dif-
ficult stunts, flips and catapults as
a feature dancer with the dance
theatre Pilobolus.
Tonight, hell show his home-
town and his alma mater what he
can do when Pilobolus performs at
7:30 p.m. at the Lied Center.
I saw a Pilobolus performance
here in 2002, he said. Thats real-
ly insane to be performing on the
stage where I was oo-ed and aw-ed
on the audience side.
Pilobolus, a non-traditional and
modern dance theatre, uses col-
laboration and improvisation in its
choreographic approach, accord-
ing to the press release. Tonights
show marks the second Pilobolus
performance at the Lied Center.
Dancers perform stunts such as
flips and contortionist movements,
resulting in a six-piece program
that Karen Christilles, associate
director of the Lied, said is both
innovative and creative.
Making the performance look
easy, though, involves a bit of act-
ing, Kuribayashi said.
Not only do you have to lift me
with one arm over your head, you
have to look like youre enjoying it
and that its like nothing, he said.
In looking forward to his sec-
ond Pilobolus performance at
the Lied, Kuribayashi said his
experiences as a student in the
Universitys dance department
helped him transition into his
career as a professional dancer.
They put up with me, he
said. Ultimately, it came down
to them not trying to mold me in
the image of what a professional
dancer should be.
Kuribayashis previous professors
and many current dance students
will be in the audience to support
one of their own.
Its always wonderful for stu-
dents to see graduates of their
degree program be so successful,
said Janet Hamburg, professor of
dance. Hamburg had Kuribayashi
in four of her classes during his
time at the University and said she
is very proud of him.
It is this support and pride that
Kuribayashi said he looks forward
to when he returns to Lawrence.
I hear back from all my
teachers, he said. You feel a sense
of community here.

Earthquake rattles
Northern California
sAn FrAncisco residents
of northern californias Humboldt
county were rocked by a magni-
tude-5.9 earthquake Thursday,
but ofcials said there were no
immediate reports of major injury
or damage from the second large
temblor to hit the area within a
month.
The u.s. Geological survey re-
ported the quake struck at 12:20
p.m. about 35 miles northwest of
the community of Petrolia and
nearly 50 miles west of eureka.
The shaking was felt within a
150-mile radius, as far north as
southern oregon and as far south
as sonoma county, according to
the usGs Web site.
Local ofcials and residents
reported feeling a rolling sensa-
tion that caused items to fall from
walls and shelves. many said the
movement didnt feel nearly as se-
vere as the magnitude-6.5 quake
that struck the same region Jan. 9
and caused more than $40 million
in damage and one serious injury
an elderly woman who fell and
broke her hip.

that this would happen and I knew it
would happen to me because Im the
first one here in the morning.
She said she thought the store
might lose customers who think K2
was illegal because of the searches.
Bouncing Bear Botanicals, a web-
site that sells herbs, entheogens, and
K2, was also served with a federal
search warrant Thursday morning.
The warehouse facility for the web-
site is located in Oskaloosa.
Ryan Vanchieri works in ship-
ping at the companys headquarters.
He said officers from the Kansas
Bureau of Investigation, FDA and
Jefferson County sheriffs detained,
handcuffed, searched and questioned
employees. He said they searched
computer files and seized business
property.
They were really nice about it,
Vanchieri said. But they were steal-
ing private property.
Jefferson County Attorney Caleb
Stegall announced that Bouncing
Bear owner Jonathan Sloan was
arrested during the operation and
was being held in Jefferson County
Jail on charges of possession of con-
trolled substances. Formal charges
are expected to be filed today.
Vanchieri said he thought the
business was going to be shut down
for good.
He said the entire property was
confiscated and employees were not
allowed to return to the premises.
k2 (continued from 1A) raptor (continued from 1A)
ing off its feet that are seven inches long,
Martin said. This would be like trying to
run with snow shoes that are taped onto
your feet, sideways.
David Alexander, an assistant professor
of biology and expert on modern animal
flight, said the four-winged gliders couldnt
fold their wings into a neat package like
other birds because the muscle attachments
didnt allow for it; the seven-inch feathers at
its feet stuck straight up.
Amanda Falk, a graduate student from
Milan, Mich., said the Microraptor would
have had serious problems on the ground.
Chances are pretty good that it probably
moved around on the ground like a sloth,
Falk said.
Team members said they used an inno-
vative technique to mold the Microraptor
fossil by making three-dimensional casts of
the bones.
David Burnham, vertebrate paleontol-
ogy preparator and lab supervisor at the
museum, embedded an optimum clear
plastic sheet to hold the bones in place,
poured rubber over both sides to make an
impression and made a plastic cast from the
impression.
Plastic replicas are easy to manipulate
so, in that manner, we were able to recon-
struct the skeleton, he said. People think
these fossils are like holy artifacts and cant
be touched. But, if youre going to learn
from fossils, you have to prepare them and
use them as scientific objects.
Alexander said after tweaking the glider
model a few times -- creating breakaway
wings, distributing the center of gravity
between the front wings and developing a
catapult for stability -- the team received
stable results.
When we released the model, within
any one session, it was pretty consistent,
Alexander said. We had a lot of good
glides. Setting it off an eight-foot ladder we
were getting 30 to 40 feet glides and from a
ten-foot ladder we saw 60-foot glides.
A new theory emerged from the gliders
success.
Burnham said an animal that uses grav-
ity to navigate, like the Microraptor, makes
sense. The ground-up theory of the origin
of flight is essentially like the anti-gravity
approach it has to have special condi-
tions.
We just fell back on common sense and
tried to see if we could have a logical, simple
explanation for this, Burnham said. Its
problem solving in the simplest form.
First Venomous Raptor
The Microraptors cousin, the Sinorni-
thosaurus, wasnt such a friendly fellow.
in december, Larry Martin, david
burnham and Amanda falk, three team
members involved in the research of
the Microraptor, discovered the poison-
ous aspect of the animal while they
were attempting to delineate the difer-
ent species of the Microraptor.
Martin said he and burnham began
to look through published descrip-
tions of the animal and noticed noticed
unique grooves in a bone in the upper-
jaw called the maxillary, a bone often
found in venomous animals.
This past summer Martin and
burnham went to China to verify what
they had found and to visit with their
colleague, professor enbu Gong, who
had a signifcant role in the Microraptor
research.
Martin said their trip confrmed their
hunch and, while they were looking at
other museums in China, they found
two more specimens of the same kind
of animal.
500-Million-Year-Old
Jellyfsh
Three university researchers uncov-
ered fossil snapshots of jellyfsh more
than 500 million years old. The oldest
was found in October 2007.
One of the researchers, bruce Lieber-
man, professor of geology and senior
curator of invertebrate paleontology at
the Natural History Museum, said the
signifcance is three-fold.
We showed that jellyfsh probably
evolved much earlier than had been
suspected, Lieberman said. Or they
underwent a really incredibly rapid
period of evolution.
Lieberman said some of the jellyfsh
they found could be described as
similar to modern forms of jellyfsh,
which suggests the ancient jellyfsh to
be quite complex. in the past, jellyfsh
lived similar lifestyles as modern jelly-
fsh, but their eating habits still remain
a mystery.
Although we dont know that yet,
Lieberman said, it means that oceans
early on, 500 million years ago, were
ecologically much more complex than
what had traditionally been thought.
Paulyn Cartwright, assistant pro-
fessor of evolutionary biology, and
Jonathon Hendricks, postdoctoral
researcher in geology, were also part of
the discovery.
Connection in
Spider Evolution
for almost 20 years the evidence was
right in front of their eyes.
Paul Seldon and his colleague bill
Shear didnt realize that the fossils
they found almost 20 years ago would
lead them to the missing connection
between the species orders of todays
spiders and ancient spiders from the
past.
in 1989, the duo found what they
believed to be the oldest-known spider
preserved as tiny fragments, about 380
million years old. Seldon, Gulf-Hedberg
distinguished professor of invertebrate
paleontology, said the fragments could
be recognized by their distinctive cu-
ticle pattern and pieced together.
its like a jigsaw puzzle with only half
the pieces and no picture on the box
lid, Seldon said.
in the 1990s Seldon and Shear, the
Trinkle professor of biology at Hamp-
den-Sydney College, collected more
samples in upstate New york. Their
fndings indicated abnormalities in the
shape of the spider, including a tail.
in december 2008, it dawned on
Seldon and Shear that what they had
actually found was a new order of
arachnids. They classifed this order as
uraraneida, which translates to tailed
spiders.
OTHER NOTAbLE PALEONTOLOgY FINDS FROM THE PAST

the brew, not the
glass, is a smash
LONdON Soon britons will
be able to get smashed at the pub
while their pint glasses wont.
The shatterproof pint glass was
proudly unveiled by the govern-
ment Thursday. Ofcials swore
the country would save billions
in health care costs by coming up
with a glass that doesnt double as a
lethal weapon.
but noticeably, no ofcials were
talking about reforming the british
binge drinking culture at the root of
the problem.
There are about 87,000 alcohol-
related glass attacks each year, with
many resulting in hospital visits,
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said
as he introduced the two prototype
shatterproof pint glasses.
Glassing causes horrifc injuries
and has a lasting and devastating
impact on victims and their families,
Johnson said. i hope these designs
will help bring an end to such at-
tacks.

CRIME
Charges fled in
sweat lodge deaths
AssociAted Press
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.
Motivational speaker James Arthur
Ray was arrested Wednesday on
manslaughter charges after three
people died following a northern
Arizona sweat lodge ceremony he
led last year.
His first court hearing was
scheduled Thursday. If convicted,
he faces a minimum of three years
on each count.
Ray has built a multimillion-dol-
lar empire as a self-help superstar
who teaches people about finan-
cial and spiritual wealth, and uses
free seminars to recruit followers to
more expensive events. He soared
in popularity after appearing in the
2006s Rhonda Byrne documentary
The Secret, and he promoted it
on The Oprah Winfrey Show and
Larry King Live.
The Oct. 8 sweat lodge ceremony
was intended to be the highlight of
Rays five-day Spiritual Warrior
event at a retreat he rented near
Sedona.
About halfway through the two-
hour ceremony, some began feel-
ing ill, vomiting and collapsing
inside the 415-square-foot struc-
ture. Despite that, Ray urged par-
ticipants to push past their physical
weaknesses and chided those who
wanted to leave, authorities and
participants have said.
Two people Kirby Brown, 38,
of Westtown, N.Y., and James Shore,
40, of Milwaukee passed out
inside the sweat lodge and died that
night at a hospital. Liz Neuman,
49, of Prior Lake, Minn., slipped
into a coma and died a week later.
Eighteen others were hospitalized.

C
ollege students seem
to have a few universal
priorities: They like
to save money, actively pursue
good food and always look for
the easiest way to get things
done.
When many students hear
someone talk about organic-
this and organic-that, they
brush it off for one of two
reasons. One, they dont see
a benefit in being organic, or
two, they see a benefit but sim-
ply dont think they have the
money.
Let me correct these false
assumptions.
People in the first group
are just not seeing the obvi-
ous. Organic foods and prod-
ucts have many benefits. For
one, there are more nutrients
in many organic fruits and
vegetables. Last year, the
American Association for
the Advancement of Science
declared that organic tomatoes
have higher levels of vitamins,
such as Vitamin C. Another
example is organic spinach,
which not only contains higher
levels of Vitamin C, but also
has lower levels of nitrates. That
means, dear frugal student,
organic foods pack more nutri-
tional bang for the buck.
In addition to the superior
nutritional benefits, organic
foods help the environment.
Studies by the AAAS have
shown that growing apples
organically enriches the soil.
So now, with an understand-
ing of the real benefits of organ-
ics, the only argument remain-
ing is the assumed expense of
organic products.
What if buying organic didnt
cost much more? Or what if,
in some cases, buying organic
could even save money?
Both are true.
Just like with shopping for
conventional products, shop-
ping for organics requires being
savvy. Just because one store
carries expensive raisins doesnt
mean every store does. In fact,
Walmart is now the largest sup-
plier of generic organic items;
this is an easy way to save
money while still reaping the
benefits of organic foods.
Dont just limit searches to
Walmart and other traditional
supermarkets, though. Instead,
shop at a health store, specialty
store or farmers market. These
places often have more variety
and options; plus, it is easier to
bargain for a reasonable deal.
Buying organic doesnt have
to be all-or-nothing. Prioritize
shopping lists and decide
what is most important to buy
organic.
A good list to have while
shopping is the Environmental
Working Groups Shoppers
Guide to Pesticides. This
includes a list of the Clean 15,
the 15 conventionally grown
fruits and vegetables with the
least pesticides. There is also a
list of the Dirty Dozen, the
conventionally grown fruits
and vegetables with the most
pesticides.
Simply choosing to buy the
organic varieties of the 12 items
in the Dirty Dozen can reduce
an individuals exposure to pes-
ticides by 80 percent, according
to the EWG.
With benefits to the body,
environment and pocketbook,
there is no reason not to buy
organic.

Politically Correct
On Monday, President Obama proposed a $3.8 trillion budget for the fiscal year 2011. The budget includes
a notable three-year spending freeze on many domestic programs in an attempt to curb the rising deficit. The
budget focuses on stimulating economic growth, especially through the creation of new jobs.
Three of our political columnists share their thoughts on the proposed budget.
For a president who cam-
paigned on a pledge to make a
clear break from Beltway gimmicks
and politics as usual, Obamas $3.8
trillion budget represents, overall, a
sobering disappointment.
To understand the pitfalls, it is
first necessary to acknowledge a
few constructive items. Nodding
to the urgent need for the U.S.
to better compete in the global
economy, Obama said the admin-
istration will increase education
funding by more than six percent.
Additionally, more federal support
will be devoted to research and
development. That includes an
increased commitment to invest-
ment in nuclear power, which
should win the president praise
from Republicans.
More controversial is the deci-
sion to allow the Bush admin-
istrations tax cuts to expire for
Americans earning more than
$250,000 each year. But one neednt
be a soldier on the front lines of
class war to realize this makes
economic sense. As economists
have pointed out, tax cuts for the
wealthy dont carry much bang for
the buck. The affluent are more
likely to save the extra money than
to put it back into the economy.
Reviving economic activity, of
course, ought to be the presidents
top focus right now. Deficits are
dangerous, but will only increase
further if spending cuts are
imposed. Less demand gener-
ated in the economy brings fewer
profits for business and lower tax
revenues.
So the presidents call for a
three-year freeze on non-defense
discretionary spending is particu-
larly mystifying. This spending
represents a mere 14 percent of the
overall budget.
Avoiding discussion of entitle-
ment reform and cuts in the gar-
gantuan defense budget makes little
sense if the administration wants to
have an appreciable effect on long-
term deficits.
Instead, political pressure may
tempt the administration to prema-
turely cease stimulus spending.
The inevitable result of persis-
tently high unemployment would,
ironically, have far more disastrous
political implications than running
temporary deficits.
Brinker is a freshman from
Topeka in history and political
science.
Its hard not to see Obamas
proposed spending freeze as a
concession to fiscal conservatives
who have pushed back on other
parts of his agenda.
Though it does not cover
health care (that irony would just
be too astounding), it also does
not cover military spending.
As patient as I try to be with
Obama (yes, there are times when
I disagree with him), I worry that
the spending freeze will embold-
en congressional conservatives.
This could prove disastrous,
given that the Republican Party
is already acting like it is back in
power, simply because it is now
slightly less of a minority in the
Senate.
Still, belt-tightening may be
helpful as the American economy
claws its way out of the pit the
last administration dropped it
into. So, maybe this move will
pay off.
Job creation is also a big part
of the presidents plan. This could
prove more beneficial than any
government program (yes, I really
did just say that something is
more helpful than government
programs).
Overall, the spending freeze is
definitely not the kind of thing I
would have considered.
It is an unorthodox decision, at
least for a democrat.
And if there isnt a major eco-
nomic turnaround by the end of
Obamas first term, antsy republi-
cans and liberals who arent close-
ly affiliated with the Democratic
Party will both complain that the
freeze was to blame.
One side will say that it wasnt
enough and that outright massive
budget cuts were the only real
solution.
The other will complain that it
prevented the government from
actively improving beneficial
social programs.
I hate to admit it, but if the
freeze fails, Ill probably agree
with that latter group.
Cohen is a senior from Topeka
in political science.
Obamas spending freeze is
nothing short of smoke and mir-
rors.
The programs Obama intends
to freeze only account for 14 per-
cent of the overall budget. This is
essentially a freeze on the regular
departments.
But what President Obama
doesnt say is that last year, he had
free reign to increase the levels of
spending in these departments as
much as he wanted.
And increase he did, to astro-
nomic levels. Last year alone, the
Obama administration increased
the budget of the EPA by more
than 35 percent.
A normal increase in one year
for the departments included in
the freeze would be about three to
five percent.
So when a freeze is instituted on
a department with the ballooned
budget it now has, it essentially
locks in that budget as normal.
So the freeze is doing exactly
the opposite of what it looks like.
Rather than reducing spending,
it is locking in the huge increases
instituted last year.
The massive stimulus bill
pushed up spending for this part
of the budget by about 40 percent,
from $420 billion in 2008 to $699
billion in 2009.
Obamas freeze means these
departments have a fixed budget
of $447 billion, which is still high-
er than 2008 levels and 71 percent
higher than the levels authorized
in the year 2000.
Thats like McDonalds pulling
the McDouble from the dollar
menu and charging $3. Then to
cope with the tough economic
times, reducing the price to $2 and
expecting customers to think they
are getting a bargain.
Here is another important trick.
The Congressional Budget Office
estimates that only 18 percent of
stimulus funding will be spent in
2009.
The reason Obama has the free-
dom to freeze a small part of the
budget is because he still has mas-
sive amounts of cash pouring in
from the rest of the stimulus pack-
age to help him fund his favorite
big government projects.

Whether you care about which team
leaves the Sun Life Stadium proud, The
Who and Rihannas halftime performanc-
es or the collection of pricey commercials,
its a given that we can all stand unified
on one aspect of Super Bowl festivities:
the grub.
Throwing a party on a student budget,
however, can be tricky.
Cherika Boyde, a senior from Kansas
City, Kan., said she planned to throw
a watch party with her roommate and
expected 15 of her friends to attend.
Theyre planning on making hot wings,
Rotel queso dip and brownies without
breaking the bank. She said theyll use
items they already have and try to stay
under $20.
Pat Thompson, a senior from Shawnee,
said he and his roommates are hosting a
pot luck watch party on Sunday to keep
costs down. He anticipates each of his
four roommates will spend under $20
each, and maybe even make money back
on their keg.
Whether its $20, $50 or $100, you can
throw a successful watch party on your
budget if you take your options into
consideration.

Goal accomplished.
The Decisions: Is it cheaper to buy premade snacks or make your own?
The Deciding Factors
Hy-Vee ofers an array of premade
snacks, including smoked wings, large
sub sandwiches, veggie trays, cakes,
cookies you name it. considering
the costs of the premade items
verses the costs of making them
will determine how much time will

Vaulters to renew rivalry

Sophomore forward Marcus Morris
current hot streak started with his bench-
ing at Nebraska. In the wake of his most
recent performance, the Cornhuskers
should be afraid of what they helped cre-
ate.
With just under three minutes lef in
Kansas 72-66 overtime victory against
Colorado on Wednesday, the Jayhawks
had a fve-point lead when Morris grabbed
a rebound of a Brady Morningstar miss.
It took Morris three tries at point-blank
range, but the ball fnally went in the hoop
and he drew a foul, essentially putting the
game out of reach.
An exasperated Morris, who scored six
of his 15 points in overtime, said it was
probably the best play of his career.
I gave everything I had on that last
play, Morris said.
Coach Bill Self said it was the high note
on an otherwise lackluster night for the
No. 1 Jayhawks, who certainly didnt play
like the top-ranked team.
Tat was the best basketball play of
the game, Self said. From a competitive
standpoint, guys are really tired and he
goes afer his ball three or four times and
gets a putback.
Self didnt want to discredit Colorado
by saying that Kansas played down to its
competition. He still wasnt encouraged by
what he saw from his team.
Our team defnitely took a step back-
ward tonight, Self said.
Te Jayhawks are 7-0 in the Big 12
but, like the game against the Bufaloes
showed, their opponents records dont
seem to matter these days. Nebraska is the
only team with a worse conference record
than Colorado, yet they had Kansas down
double digits in the frst meeting.
In preparation for Saturdays game, the
Jayhawks have a lot to work on.
Tey shot a season-low 47.4 percent
from the free-throw line while veterans
threw the ball over each others heads.
In the second half, they didnt have a
single three-pointer and Self estimated his
team only had two long-range jump shots.
Tats why we missed all our free
throws the ball was going too far, Sher-
ron Collins said with a smirk. It had to be
the altitude. Had to be.
Self wasnt one for jokes afer the game.
I dont think we made a shot outside of
three feet, he said. I dont know how that
happens.
Collins said he gave up trying to shoot
in the second half. Instead, he drove to the
basket and attempted to draw fouls.
When he did draw the foul, he made
4-of-6 from the line but missed key free
throws late. Te rest of the Jayhawks didnt
look much better. Morris shot 2-of-7, Cole
Aldrich went 4-of-7 and Markief Morris
went 3-of-9.
Te Jayhawks wont win many games
shooting like that.
Tomorrow, Collins said afer the
game, I guarantee you we will shoot over
150 free throws.
Marcus continues to come through
Weston White/KANSAN
Sophomore forward Marcus Morris hits a layup to extend Kansas' lead to 65-60 with 3:17 left in overtime Wednesday night in Boulder, Colo. Morris fnished 6-of-14 fromthe feld for 15

I
ve come to discover a few
things in my brief time here
at Kansas. Jayhawks dont
like Tigers. Jayhawks dont like
Wildcats. I once proposed a theory
that Jayhawks just dont like com-
pletely generic mascots.
That was a long time ago,
though. My latest theory, one I
think we can all benefit from,
is something I like to call the
Tyshawn Taylor Corollary.
I dont know why its a corollary,
instead of a postulate or a theorem
or something else of that ilk. I
just like the way corollary sounds.
Work with me.
Anyways, the Tyshawn Taylor
Corollary goes as follows: A
person can learn anything they
need to know about a Kansas fan
by knowing how the aforemen-
tioned Kansas fan feels about the
Jayhawks enigmatic sophomore
point guard, Tyshawn Taylor.
The key to this corollary is that
there are very few Jayhawk fans
who are apathetic towards Taylor.
In fact, I dont know any. There is
Taylor love. Then there is Taylor
mean muggin.
Back to the corollary. No corol-
lary is a corollary without case
studies.
Lets start with Exhibit A
(Subjects A & B): Subject A, lets
call him Tom, loves Taylor, citing
plays like his and-one layup against
Dominique Sutton in overtime of
the Kansas State game. Hes over-
whelmed by Taylors NBA skill set
and ability to beat any man to the
hole.
Tom is a low-stress individual.
He is optimistic. He is quick to
forgive. He will readily focus on the
positives of a Jayhawks game, even
when they go to overtime against
freaking Colorado when his friend
the writer has a deadline to make.
Sorry. I needed to get that out of
my system.
Tom is also engaged to Subject
B, well call her Janice. They are
happy together, in the way that
opposite ends of a magnet are
happy together. Janice hates Taylor,
citing plays like his errant pass
against the Wildcats that went
somewhere in the vicinity of
Danny Manning, who no longer
plays for the Jayhawks. She cant get
past the fact that he has a tendency
to be turnover-prone and wishes he
wouldnt play in crucial moments.
Janice is a bit high strung, espe-
cially when it comes to Jayhawk
sports. She is a calculating person,
prone to working all the angles in
her mind before acting. She knows
that going to overtime against
Colorado is not something the
Jayhawks should be doing with
such a talent disparity on the ros-
ters and writers that need to make
deadlines.
The practical uses of the
Tyshawn Taylor Corollary are
endless. Now hiring? See how the
applicant feels about Taylor. Now
single? See how the applicant feels
about Taylor. There is not a wrong
answer, per se. The world needs
Subject As and Subject Bs. The
Corollary could just save everyone
a little time.

One look around Mizzou Arena
last Saturday revealed no more
than 50 blue shirts in the stands.
Yet after every big Kansas play,
there rang a boisterous boom.
It was the Kansas bench and
the officials were yelling at them
again.
The goal is to have the refs kick
the bench off the court, sopho-
more forward Aishah Sutherland
said.
Game after game, especially
on the road, referees patrol the
Kansas sideline like agitated hall
monitors. Kansas will need the
benchs energy once more when
the Jayhawks play host to Kansas
State at 1 p.m. Sunday.
I love that the refs hate you
guys, coach Bonnie Henrickson
said to her team after that 72-59
victory Jan. 17th in Missouri.
Led by their spiritual anchor,
freshman Tania Jackson, the
bench collectively acts as an
extra set of cheerleaders, hol-
lering words of encouragement.
No matter what the referee may
do to temper the noise, Kansas
bench will always be heard.
My goal is to lose my voice
every game, Jackson said.
Often that means finding ways
to exaggerate the meaning of every
single play. Whether its nothing
more than the recovery of a loose
ball or as big as a game-clinching
defensive stand, the reaction is
always the same.
Im surprised they havent
teched us yet, freshman Annette
Davis said.
After every three-point shot
Kansas converts, Davis stands up
and runs down the line, high-fiv-
ing everyone on the bench before
reclaiming her seat.
Davis said that her high school
coach performed the routine and
she brought it along with her to
Kansas. Now her teammates are
itching to nail a three, just to see
it happen again.

eating Missouri on the road to
complete a perfect Big 12 season
wouldnt just give Kansas a No. 1
seed in the NCAA Tournament.
It would be Kansas 2,000th victory,
an accomplishment only achieved by
Kentucky so far. Now, 2,000 victories
is purely a number and it doesnt hold
much significance beyond being the
number 2,000, but it is a good mark
of the overall dominance of the top
programs.
The interesting subplot is that Kansas
is only third in all-time victories. North
Carolina is nearing the finish line and
has 1,997 all-time victories.
When the year started, it seemed
as though Kansas had no chance at
catching Roys Boys before they reached
2,000 victories. Carolina brought in
a top recruiting class, and, though
they were losing a great deal of the
team that won the national title, it was
North Carolina. The Tar Heels would
eventually figure it out.
Early season results made it appear
they had. North Carolina opened the
season with a 11-4 record and hung
with top dogs Kentucky and Texas.
Inexperience was an issue, but the
youngsters were talented.
Surely the Tar Heels would win 5
games in ACC play, snag the second-to-
2000-victories crown and claim their
all-time dominance against any team
except Kentucky. The message boards
would spontaneously combust with
Carolina fans bashing the Kansas
program.
But the Tar Heels arent on that
pace now. The teams 2-4 record
including three losses at home to
start conference play has brought
Kansas back into the 2000-victories
conversation. KenPom.com, a site that
uses advanced statistics to predict future
games, says that North Carolina will
win just twice more in conference play,
including a loss to Duke on the road on
March 6.
If Kansas runs the table unlikely,
but still somewhat possible a victory
against the hated Missouri Tigers would
give the program its 2,000th victory. On
March 6.
Yes, the same day that North Carolina
might lose to its rival.
I realize we are dealing in purely
hypotheticals, and a lot of things
have to go Kansas way for it to be in
contention. Roy Williams will probably
rally his team, pull a couple upsets
in ACC play, sneak in the NCAA
Tournament and upset somebody.
Kansas has to beat Texas on the road, a
tough Kansas State team at home and
win at Missouri. The approximate odds
of this all happening are pretty slim.
But North Carolina has opened
the door and invited Kansas inside.
If Kansas keeps winning and North
Carolina keeps struggling, there may be
a lot more on the line March 6 than a
single game.

Purdue holds on for frst victory at Indiana since 1999
by clIFF brUNT

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
Robbie Hummel and JaJuan
Johnson each scored 21 points and
No. 8 Purdue held off in-state rival
Indiana 78-75 on Thursday night.
The Boilermakers won in
Bloomington for the first time
since 1999 to snap an eight-game
road skid against the Hoosiers.
ETwaun Moore added 14 points
for Purdue (19-3, 7-3), which won
its fifth straight heading into a
showdown at conference leader
Michigan State next Tuesday.
Indianas Verdell Jones III, who
led the Hoosiers with 22 points,
missed a long 3-pointer at the
buzzer that could have forced
overtime.
Tom Pritchard scored a season-
high 13 and Devan Dumes added
11 for Indiana (9-12, 3-6).
It was the second straight tough
loss for the Hoosiers. Illinois beat
Indiana 72-70 on Jan. 30 when
Demetri McCamey made a floater
at the buzzer.
Purdue asserted itself in the
early minutes of the second half.
Johnson corralled an errant pass
from Lewis Jackson, then powered
the ball in and was fouled. The
t h r e e - p o i nt
play gave
Purdue a 57-51
lead five min-
utes into the
second half.
I n d i a n a
hung tough.
Jones hit a
3-pointer to tie
the game, then
Jordan Hulls
hit another to give Indiana a 69-66
lead with just under 6 minutes
to play.
Hummel hit a three-pointer
with 2 minutes left, then Moore
drained a floater in the lane with
1:17 remaining to give Purdue a
75-69 edge.
Jones made a three-pointer with
a minute to play to trim Purdues
lead to 75-72. It also ended a
Hoosier scoring drought that had
lasted nearly five minutes.
Moore missed a short jumper
and Indiana regained possession
and a chance to tie. Jones left the
ball short on a drive. Hummel
rebounded, was fouled and made
two free throws.
Hummel was fouled again with
4.1 seconds left. He missed the first
free throw and made the second to
make it 78-75 and give Jones the
final shot.
I n d i a n a
missed the
front end of
the one-and-
one three times
in the final six
minutes.
Pr i t c h a r d
averages just
under five
points per
game, but he scored eight in the
first 13 minutes and made Johnson
work. Indiana took a 31-28 lead on
a 3-point play by Jones. The shot
was part of a 10-2 run that gave the
Hoosiers a 36-28 lead.
Indiana led 45-38 before Moore
hit a three-pointer and Barlow got
a steal and layup in the final min-
ute.
Purdue won its ffth

ST. LOUIS Patrick Marleau
scored his 38th goal to remain
tied for the NHL lead, helping
the Western Conference-leading
San Jose Sharks beat the St. Louis
Blues 4-2 on Thursday night.
Ryane Clowe and Devin
Setoguchi also scored, and back-
up Thomas Greiss had a strong
game in goal for the Sharks, who
rebounded from their lone regu-
lation loss in the last 11 games
after squandering a two-goal
lead against Detroit two days
earlier. San Jose has 83 points,
one behind Washington for first
overall in the NHL.
Patrik Berglund had a goal
and an assist for the Blues, who
are an NHL-worst 9-15-5 at
home while getting outscored
90-71. Backup goalie Ty Conklin,
who made 27 saves, fell to 0-6 at
the Scottrade Center.
Conklin is 1-6 at home overall,
including a victory over the Red
Wings in a season-opening series
in Sweden, and 7-2-1 with a 1.70
goals-against average on the road.
He got the start a day after Chris
Mason helped the Blues win 3-2
in Chicago.
St. Louis had shown signs of
improvement at home recently,
getting points in its previous five
games, but played catchup most
of the night against San Jose. The
Sharks are 18-6-2 on the road,
third-best in the NHL, after win-
ning the opener of a six-game trip
leading into
the Olympic
break.

Marleau gave the Sharks the lead
after only 21 seconds off a feed
from Joe Thornton, who collected
the rebound of a backhand shot
by Dany Heatley.
Clowe capitalized on a big
rebound for his 14th goal at 7:53
of the first, putting the Sharks
up by two. Berglund answered
with a power-
play goal mid-
way through
the period,
but Setoguchi
slipped the
puck under a
diving Conklin

line, Davis said.
Jackson said her voice was a
key part of her high school teams
dream of a state title.
Its something Ive been doing
all my life, Jackson said. It just
carried over to this team.
Senior Kelly Kohn also adds to
the persistent bothering of referees
and team energy boosting. Kohn
strives to help out her team in any
other way.
Imagine if you just had five
people playing and nobody back-
ing you up, Kohn said. Its not a
team.
Kohn explained her point as it
pertains to Angel Goodrichs final
game of the season. Before going
down with a season-ending knee
injury, Goodrich started the game
with two air-balls. Kohn pulled her
aside and tried to talk her out of
the slump.
Angel, Ive been there. Ive air-
balled three in a row before, but I
came back and hit two of the most
important threes after that, Kohn
said to her.
Goodrich got the message.
She came out in the second half
and had 13 points and hit a couple
of shots, Kohn said.
While it may be an unconven-
tional approach, cheering to the
point of annoyance has proven
effective. When the action on the
court responds to the energy off
of it, electric fast breaks and high
arching three-pointers pull Kansas
back into the game.
The only downside: the referee
will never be your friend.
Im at the end of the bench,
Jackson said, so I dont know why
they get at me.

on Jan. 9 kansas state simply embarrassed kansas in manhat-
tan by a score of 59-35. after the game seniors danielle mccray
and sade morris acknowledged a lack of intensity on their part
that trickled down throughout the team. a small rough patch
followed that game, but recently mccray and morris have spear
headed the Jayhawks two consecutive wins. if that trend contin-
ues against the Wildcats, the Jayhawks may be able to avenge
their previous loss and pull their conference record to 4-4.

Score prediction
Aishah Sutherland
sophomore forward aishah sutherland was
one of the few bright spots for the Jayhawks
in their frst meeting against the Wildcats. in
30 minutes of playing time sutherland scored
a team high 12 points on six of eight shooting
from the feld. since then she has been a little
inconsistent as freshman forward carolyn davis
has emerged into a starting role alongside
sutherland. if kansas can get both of its starting
forwards rolling, then it should really help out its
half court ofensive sets.
Ashley Sweat
kansas states senior forward ashley sweat
is the primary reason for her teams moderate
successes this season. she averages slightly more
than 18 points per game, which ranks ffth in
the Big 12. sweat has played impressively in her
most recent contests as she scored 31 in an up-
set of iowa state and then 22 points in a loss to
Baylor. in the Wildcats frst meeting against the
Jayhawks this season, sweat dominated, scoring
24 points in 40 minutes of play.

AssociAted Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
NCAA has met with conference
commissioners, university presi-
dents and athletic directors about
the possibility of expanding the
mens basketball tournament.
So far, its slow going.
The NCAA started talking
about expansion in the fall, along
with numerous topics in all 88
championships, and hasnt gotten
past the discussion stage yet.
Its just a series of ongoing dia-
logues with interested parties, but
nothing definitive to even analyze
at this point, NCAA Senior Vice
President Greg Shaheen said.
It certainly hasnt stopped the
conversation.
Many coaches and administra-
tors like the idea of expansion
and believe its a necessary step
to accommodate a growing game.
There are more teams than ever
347 in Division I more depth in
the bigger conferences and more
talent at the mid-major level.
Whether its increasing the tour-
nament field to 68 (four play-in
games instead of one) or envelop-
ing the NIT to make it a 96-team
field, more teams are bound to
add up to more excitement, the
thinking goes.
If youre talking about add-
ing more teams, I dont think
the games would change a bit,
Texas Tech coach Pat Knight said.
Theyd be just as competitive and
I think youd see more Cinderella
stories, more teams people didnt
think had a chance and thered
be a lot more upsets if the NCAA
expanded the tournament.
Another argument is that
a larger field would give teams
from smaller conferences a better
chance of getting in. Giving auto-
matic bids to the regular-season
and conference tournament cham-
pions would reward consistency
while still allowing for surprise.
That would add more relevance
to the regular season, instead of
just having big games being brack-
et busters and things like that,
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski
said.
In the current format, 18 per-
cent of the teams get into the
NCAA tournament and another 9
percent receive invites to the NIT.
Thats far below the number of
teams that get postseason berths
in football: 68 of 120 teams, or 56
percent. By comparison, 53 per-
cent of NHL and NBA teams get
into the playoffs, 37 percent in the
NFL and 26 percent in baseball.
But to some, that low percent-
age is part of what makes the
NCAA tournament special.
I think it makes it a really spe-
cial tournament when only 64 get
in, Washington State coach Ken
Bone said. I really like the way it
is right now.
The counter argument? If it is
so special, why not let more teams
and players feel it, too?
The magnitude of the NCAA
tournament now is so big that its
just a great experience for a kid
to have that opportunity to play,
Maryland coach Gary Williams
said.
For now, its all speculation. The
NCAA isnt sharing details of its
plan to the chagrin of some
coaches and doesnt seem close
to making a decision.
Its worth discussing, but Im
not sure Ive seen anyone whos
come up with what would be the
best formula, Kansas coach Bill
Self said. But I do believe it will
be expanded in the next decade.

Scott looks forward to renewing
rivalry
A year ago in the NCAA Indoor
Track and Field Championships,
Jordan Scott went head to head
with Rices Jason Colwick in a
showdown of two of the top pole
vaulters in the coun-
try. Colwick bested
Scott with a height of
5.60 meters and won
the gold medal while
Scotts 5.45 meters
earned him a bronze.
On Saturday Scott
will meet Colwick
again, this time in the
Husker Invitational in
Lincoln, Neb.
All pole vaulters have a friendly
rivalry, Scott said. We see each
other enough that friendly compe-
titions and rivalries start to form.
He pushes me to do better and Im
sure its the same way for him.
Scott will most likely see
Colwick in the NCAA Indoor
Championships later on as both
have posted season bests. Colwick
has a national best of 5.62 meters
while Scotts 5.35 gives him provi-
sional qualification into the field.
Although Scott recognizes that
there is a rivalry,
he doesnt find it as
important as getting
points for the team
in competitions.
Points for the
team and doing the
best I can is what
matters, Scott said.
If he jumps a foot
higher than I do and
if I dont reach that but I reach a
PR (Personal Record) and it helps
us get a victory then Ill take that.
The pole vaulters are com-
ing off a strong showing in the
Jayhawk Classic as four Jayhawks
had final jumps above 4.60 meters
and placed in the top four spots.
Scotts jump of 5.20 was enough
for first place.
We work very well together,
Scott said. We have a lot of talent
and when we put it together we all
have good results.
As a senior, Scott has been
around enough to handle a show-
down between the nations best
vaulters and a possible NCAA
Indoor Championship preview.
This is my fourth season doing
indoor and Ive always done well
at Nebraska, Scott said. If I just
do my best then Ill be fine.

The Cornhuskers are, on paper,
no match for the Jayhawks and
their embarrassment of riches.
Dont tell that to Nebraska,
though. They came out swinging
in the frst matchup of the season,
taking a 12-1 lead out of the gate
and hanging on for a one-point
lead at halftime before the Jay-
hawks collected themselves and
dominated after the break. Bran-
don Richardson exploded for 18
points when the teams frst met in
January, but he wont sneak up on
Kansas this time around.
Eshaunte Jones
Jones played a career-high 32
minutes against Kansas the last
time these two teams matched
up. He went
4-for-11 from
long range
and scored 12
points as the
Cornhuskers
tried to knock
of the then
third-ranked
Jayhawks. Since
then, he has somehow planted
himself in coach Doc Sadlers
doghouse, though. He didnt
play in their following game, and
has played single-digit minutes
in three of the four games since
then.
Can Nebraska get the jump
on Kansas again?
The Cornhuskers already
caught Kansas with its eyes closed
once this year and theyve got a
perfect opportunity to do it again
Saturday. The Jayhawks are in the
midst of an emotional stretch,
starting with a home win over
Missouri January 25 and followed
by two overtime battles on the
road at north division foes. Then
their next game is Monday at No.
10 Texas. If Nebraska can get of to
another big lead, theres no telling
whether or not theyll be able to
hang on to it.
You cant get into a scoring
match with Kansas. If theyre go-
ing to score in the 80s, youre not
going to win many games. Thats
ultimately what happened. I can
talk about how good we played,
but the bottom line is that we
didnt get it done.

lost 84-72 to Kansas in Lincoln
8B / GAME DAY / fRIDaY, feBRuaRY 5, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KaNSaN.CoM

nebraska
(13-9)
starters
Lance Jeter, guard
Jeters a good ball distributor, which is essen-
tial in an ofense like Nebraskas where there is
no lethal scorer. even though he only scored two
points in the last meeting between Nebraska
and Kansas, he played a major role, dishing out
a career-high eight assists. He also takes care of
the ball well, boasting a 2.35-to-1 assist-to-turn-
over ratio. Jeter doesnt take a lot of threes, but
he can knock them down if he decides to. Hes
shooting 42.4 percent from distance.
Sek Henry, guard

Henry doesnt do anything particularly bril-
liantly, but theres not a whole lot of faws in
his game either. Hes shown fashes of being an
excellent distributor, with an 11-assist perfor-
mance against TCu earlier this season and seven
assists in the Cornhuskers last game against
Kansas State. Hes too inconsistent with that,
though, with six games with just one or zero assists. against Kansas,
he had nine points, four rebounds and two assists.
Ryan Anderson, guard

anderson is probably the best player on the
Nebraska roster. Hes the only Cornhusker that
averages at least 10 points per game. He didnt
come through in Nebraskas last game against
Kansas, scoring just eight, but he did dish out a
season-high fve assists. Last year, after a zero-
point efort in a 68-62 loss to Kansas in Lincoln,
anderson scored 10 at allen fieldhouse.
Brandon Ubel, forward

ubels the only real question mark in the
Nebraska lineup, despite growing up in nearby
overland Park. The 6-foot-10 freshman saw zero
action in the teams frst meeting, but has played
at least eight minutes in every other game this
year. ubel averages just 4.9 points and 1.8 re-
bounds in 16.7 minutes per game. Hes knocked
down half of the threes hes taken, but hasnt
attempted a triple in his last six games, in which hes averaging just
two points per.
Jorge Brian Diaz, center

Diaz, a 6-foot-11 fresh-
man from Puerto Rico,
has shown the potential
to be an interior force for
the Huskers, including a 15-
point performance against
Kansas and Cole aldrich.
Like the rest of the Nebraska
team, though, Diaz is plagued
by inconsistency. Since the Kansas game, Diaz is
averaging seven points per game.
Sixth Man
Brandon Richardson
Richardson, a 37 percent
shooter from long range,
went 3-for-4 from three
against the Jayhawks
in January, pouring in a
team-high 18 points of
the bench in that game.
Richardson was the hero
in the Huskers frst conference victory, a 63-46
triumph over oklahoma last Saturday. Richard-
son averages 1.3 steals per game, second best on
the team.
TimDwyer
kansas
(21-1)
starters
Sherron Collins, guard
Collins didnt get of to a good start in Colo-
rado, going 1-7 from the feld in the frst half. But
just when his team started to feel some adver-
sity, he poured in 14 of his 16 after halftime. The
Jayhawks are never out of the game as long as
Collins is around.
Brady Morningstar, guard

Morningstar has become quite the assist man,
averaging just under four per game since joining
the starting rotation fve games ago. He fnished
with six points against Colorado and had a
couple of steals.
Xavier Henry, guard

The struggles continue for the once-dominant
freshman. He has played a total of 33 minutes
in the past two games combined and in those
games had a total of nine points. He is either in
foul trouble or turning the ball over while not
making enough plays on the ofensive end. His
worst games are on the road, so expect a better
outing against Nebraska.
Marcus Morris, forward

The sophomore is bringing it. add another
15 points and eight rebounds, not to mention
the most impressive play of Wednesdays game
against Colorado. You can knock him for his free
throw shooting (2-of-7) or his in ability to put in
easy shots (6-for14 from the foor). But you cant
knock his efort. He had fve ofensive rebounds
against the Bufaloes, three coming on the
aforementioned play.
Cole Aldrich, center

If the Jayhawks can
consistently get
aldrich the ball
inside and
Morris
can
do
his
damage on the
ofensive glass, this
duo will be scary good.
aldrich dominated Col-
orado, getting his fourth
consecutive double double with
16 points and 14 rebounds as well as
fve blocks. He was 6-8 from the foor
and 4-7 from the line. He has the high
efciency, his teammates just need to
make sure he produces at high value.
Sixth Man
Tyshawn Taylor, guard
Taylor is the fashiest player coming of the
bench right now. Markief Morris and Tyrel
Reed have their moments, but Taylor draws
attention. Sometimes, the attention is good
like when he stole a pass against Colorado and
went coast-to-coast for a layup. He only had
one turnover in that game, but only had six
points and one assist in 25 minutes.

BIG RED WILL JUMp foR JoY If
Cole aldrich and Marcus Morris combine for less then 25 points.
Remember, in their last meeting, Nebraska had the Jayhawks down
by double digits right from the get-go. aldrich only had six points
but Morris carried the load of the bench with 19. Husker center
Brain Diaz had 15 points on 7-10 shooting. That kind of efciency is
what the Jayhawks need to produce without allowing the Huskers to
do to the same.
ALLEN fIELDHoUSE WILL RoCK If
This game follows the script. The Jayhawks are the better team
and they proved it last time coming back from a double-digit defcit.
Now they are at home and the crowd has seen their No. 1 team
endure two consecutive overtime games. They proved they can win
the close ones, now lets see if they can get back to dominating the
Huskers and put them away early.
prediction:
Kansas 90, Nebraska 67
Kansas (21-1, 7-0) gets its frst
chance for a season sweep when
Nebraska (13-9, 1-6) comes to
visit. In their frst matchup, the
Jayhawks rebounded of their frst
loss of the season, beating the
Huskers in Lincoln 84-72. That was
the game where Thomas Rob-
inson started in place of Marcus
Morris and eventually turned
Morris into the Big 12 machine
we see today. after barely getting
by Colorado, the second to worst
ranked team in the conference,
the Jayhawks hope to have a more
satisfying result against the dead-
last Huskers.
Xavier Henry
Its getting repetitive, but he
has to break through sometime.
again and again, Henry proves
he is far more
comfortable
and efective at
home and the
opposite when
hes away. Since
conference
play began,
its like hes a
completely diferent player than
who we saw in non-conference
games. He is a freshman after all
and they are known to go through
extremes. If he wants to get back
to his 20-plus performance poten-
tial, he might want to do it soon.
Nebraska is a good start.
Were the past two overtime
games just a result of being on
the road?
Going into overtime against
18-4 Kansas State was under-
standable. But going into 11-11
Colorados house with a nice fan
following after blowing them out
a year ago and struggling is a little
disheartening. The Bufaloes were
without one of their best play-
ers, alec Burks, but still gave the
Jayhawks all they could handle.
The Jayhawks are probably sick
of close games at this point and a
home game against a non-threat-
ening opponent is a good cure.
Tomorrow, I guarantee you we
will shoot over 150 free throws.
After shooting 47.4 percent fromthe free
throw line against Colorado, Sherron Collins
knew Thursdays practice would be dedicated
to the stripe.
Marcus Morris
