Fake ID 101 task forces patrolled
area bars and restaurants for the
fourth weekend this semester
Tursday and Saturday nights.
Jen Jordan, director of preven-
tion at Douglas County Citizens
Committee on Alcoholism, said she
was disappointed in the number of
citations for underage drinking.
Im frustrated that it stayed the
same, Jordan said. On Tursday
the task force cited 29 people for
drinking underage and 30 people
on Saturday night.
Jordan said that bars allowing
minors to drink are only cited if the
IDs used are obviously fake.
Its ridiculous what kind of IDs
our bars let in, Jordan said. She said
that in the past she had seen confs-
cated fakes that read For Novelty
Use Only on the back as well as
IDs that were several months ex-
pired.
On Tursday tasks force ofcers
cited the Phoggy Dog Bar & Grill,
2228 Iowa Street, for allowing a
drinking game. Jordan said the bar
had a beer pong competition for a
prize.
Its against the law for licensed
bars to allow competitive drink-
ing games, Jordan said. She said
bars should be aware of that be-
cause the stipulation is part of their
liquor licenses. Jordan said that
that DCCCA had provided a free
educational class for bar owners is
August, but not all local bars had
attended.
Jordan said she wasnt sure if an-
other task force would patrol this
semester because agents were still
calculating how much money is lef
in the budget.

OSAWATOMIE President
Barack Obama brought a mes-
sage of economic populism here
Tuesday, delivering a speech that
was well-received by an audience
who endured bone-cold condi-
tions to get in.
Obama, invoking Teddy
Roosevelt, called for fair econom-
ic policies. Te president reiterat-
ed that the wealthiest Americans
should pay their fair share and
that this involved raising tax rates
on the richest.
He also had tough words
for Republicans about eforts
to obstruct the mission of the
Consumer Financial Protection
Agency, which was created last
year when Congress passed a f-
nancial reform bill.
I want you to hear me Kansas;
I will veto any efort to delay, de-
fund or dismantle the new rules
we put in place, Obama said.
At times, Obamas language
was similar to the vocabulary
of the Occupy Movement. With
a row of American and Kansas
fags behind him and a crowded
high school gymnasium in front
of him, the president framed fair-
ness in the context of the wealthi-
est one percent of Americans,
citing statistics that show a typi-
cal CEO now earns 110 times the
wages of a typical worker.
Inequality also distorts our
democracy, Obama said. It runs
the risk of selling out our democ-
racy to the highest bidder.
At its very worst, inequality
creates a future where children
born into poverty are less capable
of climbing into the middle class,
Obama said, but that a diferent
vision of the future was possible.
Te world is shifing to an
innovation economy and no
one does innovation better than
America, Obama said.
Te president emphasized the
importance of education, noting
that the unemployment rate for
college graduates is about half the
national average.
We should be a country where
everyone has a chance to go and
doesnt rack up $100,000 of debt,
Obama said, in a line that drew a
standing ovation.
Along with education, research
and investment in infrastructure
is important to creating a better
America, Obama said.
Te speech, which lasted a
little under an hour, was well-
attended, with hundreds pack-
ing into the Osawatomie High
School gym. Dozens of television
cameras peppered the back of the
gym, and journalists stood along
the right side, notebooks and
cameras in hand.
Te audience, appearing com-
prised primarily of supporters,
gave the president several stand-
ing ovations and numerous ap-
plause lines. Obama was not
heckled during the speech.
Several University students
were also in attendance. Chris
Weber, a senior from Princeton,
Kan., came to Osawatomie on
Sunday for tickets before coming
back Tuesday for the speech. He
was not disappointed.
He had a lot of good stuf to
say, there were a few jabs at the
Republicans though; it was good,
Weber said.
Matt Visser, a junior from
Leavenworth, came with Weber.
Visser, who held notes that he
took during the speech, said that
he expected to hear about broad
policies that Obama could put
into place, but that he really en-
joyed the presidents message of
fair play.
Visser is a supporter of Obama,
but had not volunteered for the
campaign.
I probably will this coming
year, though, he said.

OSAWATOMIE For being in
the middle of a largely conserva-
tive county in a largely red state,
President Barack Obama received
a strong and positive response
during the speech he gave Tues-
day in Osawatomie.
Whether wearing overalls or
overcoats, the crowd of 600 that
packed Osawatomie High School
gymnasium applauded and
cheered the presidents speech
championing the middle class and
the necessity of a fair tax system.
I believe that this country
succeeds when everyone gets a
fair shot, when everyone does
their fair share, and when every-
one plays by the same rules, he
said. Those arent Democratic or
Republican values; 1 percent val-
ues or 99 percent values. Theyre
American values, and we have to
reclaim them.
The Presidents populist tone
harkened back to a similar speech
given by Theodore Roosevelt
gave 100 years ago in the town.
The speech, known as the New
Nationalism speech called for a
progressive income tax as well as
well as increased regulation over
industries.
White House Press Secretary
Jay Carney said that the New
Nationalism speech was the mo-
tivation behind the Presidents
Osawatomie visit.
It had everything to do with
Theodore Roosevelt, White
House Press Secretary Jay Car-
ney said to The Kansan. Teddy
Roosevelt gave a profoundly
important speech here in 1910.
What is amazing is if you read
that speech, I have it here, is you
could deliver most of it today.
Obama alluded to the speech
numerous times, saying that as in
1910 and today the middle class
had reached a turning point.
In 1910, Teddy Roosevelt
came here, to Osawatomie, and
laid out his vision for what he
called a New Nationalism. Our
country, he said, means noth-
ing unless it means the triumph
of a real democracyof an eco-
nomic system under which each
man shall be guaranteed the op-
portunity to show the best that
there is in him.
Ryan Zwiener, a 19-year-old
freshman from Lawrence, died
at home Satur-
day afer a long
battle with de-
pression, ac-
cording to an
obituary pro-
vided by the
Rumsey-Yost
Funeral Home.
Chancellor
Bernadette Gray-
Little issued a statement Tuesday
about Zwiener.
On behalf of the entire Uni-
versity community, I ofer the
deepest condolences to the fam-
ily and friends of Ryan Zwiener,
Gray-Littles statement read in
part. Our thoughts are with
them at this difcult time.
Zwiener was an avid outdoors-
man who enjoyed camping, hik-
ing and fshing, according to the
obituary. He worked as a meat
department clerk at Hy-Vee on
4000 West 6th Street. Zwiener
graduated from Lawrence Free
State High School in 2010, where
he was on the schools wrestling
and cross country teams. He was
also a member of the National
Honor Society and the Lawrence
Athletic Club.
Funeral services will be at 1
p.m. Tursday at Lawrence First
Church of the Nazarene, 1470
North 1000 Road. Te family
will receive friends from 6 to 8
p.m. Wednesday at Lawrence
First Church of the Nazarene.
Te family asks that any me-
morial contributions be made
to the Ryan Zwiener Memorial
Fund, for the establishment of a
fund for teen suicide prevention,
in care of the funeral home, 601
Indiana, Lawrence, KS, 66044.
It is the hope of the fam-
ily that, by acknowledging Ryans
battle with depression, others
with similar issues and their fam-
ilies can be spared the tragedy of
losing a loved one unnecessarily,
the obituary read in part.
Survivors include his parents,
Raymond and Lisa Hegeman
Zwiener and a sister, Mandy
Zwiener, of Lawrence.

Greeces lawmakers were set Tuesday to pass
next years austerity budget, extending tough
spending cut measures that have already left
Greeks struggling as the country tries to pull
itself out of a severe recession.
With three parties, including the countrys
majority socialists and its rival conservatives,
involved in Greeces new coalition government,
the budget is expected to pass with an over-
whelming majority in a midnight vote.
The end of the budget debate coincided with
the third anniversary of a fatal police shooting
of a teenager in central Athens, and lawmakers
spoke as clashes broke out in front of Parlia-
ment between hundreds of anarchists and riot
police during a commemorative march.
The 2012 budget foresees a fourth year of
recession.

A panel probing an accounting scandal at Ja-
pans Olympus Corp. said Tuesday an elaborate
scheme to cover up $1.5 billion of investment loss-
es was orchestrated by a group of top executives
who were rotten to the core.
The panel also credited the companys ex-CEO,
Michael Woodford, for bringing the deception at
the camera and medical equipment maker to light.
Woodford, a Briton, was fred in October after ques-
tioning the dubious transactions that have become
one of Japans biggest corporate fascos.
Led by former Supreme Court judge Tatsuo
Kainaka, the third-party panel found that as of
2003, Olympus had racked up 117.7 billion yen
($1.5 billion) in investment losses dating back to
the 1990s.
The panel said it traced the money and the vari-
ous funds used to cover up investment losses.

Police clashed with demonstrators protesting
alleged election fraud in Moscow and at least two
other major Russian cities on Tuesday as anger
boiled over against strongman Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin and his United Russia party.
At least 250 people were detained by police at
a protest in downtown Moscow that included fare-
type freworks thrown at a group of pro-Kremlin
youth, said city police spokesman Maxim Kolos-
vetov.
Russian news agencies reported about 200
people were arrested at a similar attempt to hold
an unsanctioned rally in St. Petersburg and an-
other 25 in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don.
It was the second consecutive night of large
protests in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as Russian
police routinely crack down hard on unauthorized
rallies.

Sixteen men detained in an alleged plot to
kill the prime minister and other offcials in Trini-

were unable to fnd suffcient evidence against
them, police said Tuesday.
Prosecutors had held the group under special
legal powers granted under the emergency de-
cree, but did not fnd enough evidence to bring
charges, said Sgt. Wayne Mystar, a spokesman for
the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.
The men left the jail just before the midnight
Monday expiration of the emergency order. Most
covered their faces and quickly got into the ve-
hicles of relatives, but several cheered or shouted
freedom and denounced the government for
holding them on what they said was a fabricated
plot.

Catholics learn Mass
after changes made
Over the last several months,
the Catholic church and its 65 mil-
lion members in the United States
have been preparing for a radical
change in the English translation
of the prayers said during Mass,
which took place on Nov. 27.
Over the last 40 years there
have been a lot of changes that
needed to be incorporated into the
Mass, the Rev. Steven Beseau said.
Te changes to the English
translation refect a more accurate
translation of the original Latin Ro-
man Missal. Beseau said the trans-
lation changed almost everything
that the priests say during Mass
and there are also changes in the
congregations prayer responses.
Julia Fulbright, a senior from
Lawrence, and Logan Fitz, a fresh-
man from Wichita, grew up in
Catholic families who attended
Mass regularly. Both described
their upbringing in the Catholic
church as being very much like an
extended family.
I felt there was a connection,
Fulbright said. I am so happy that
I grew up in a Catholic family be-
cause there was that community.
However, as Fulbright matured
she grew distant from the Church.
She described being expected to be
the Catholic one from her fami-
lys fve children and even attended
Seton Hall, a Catholic university
in New Jersey, before transferring
to Kansas. While attending Seton
Hall, she grew farther away from
the church but still celebrates Mass
with her family.
She said during Tanksgiving
the changes in the Mass translation
was discussed. Fulbright said that
her cousin is in seminary school
and told the family members that
they could download an app on
their phones to help keep with
changes.
If everyone is staring at their
phones trying to follow the Mass,
then they miss out the hand-hold-
ing and the community which is a
big part of it, Fulbright said.
For young Catholics growing up
with the Mass, it was part of life.
Fulbright said she could practically
celebrate the Mass in her sleep be-
fore the translation was changed.
Youre comfortable with it,
Fulbright said. In that way, I un-
derstand the change and maybe
you have to think more about it.
However, she has not celebrated
the Mass since the new translation
has taken efect, but is curious to
experience the changes.
Te most noticeable change for
the congregation is the change of
the phrase and also with you to
and with your spirit when re-
sponding to the priest.
Fulbright said she would never
use the phrase and also with you,
but the meaning made sense to her
at church. Te current translation
is derived from the Latin phrase
et cum spiritu tuo, the Rev. Be-
seau said.
Te spirit is of not my soul but,
to the holy spirit through my ordi-
nation as a priest, Beseau said.
Fitz attended Catholic schools
from preschool to high school be-
fore arriving at Kansas. His faith
was part of his daily life.
It gave me a good foundation,
Fitz said. It gave me a way of look-
ing at the world that other people
dont have.
He attended his frst Mass with
the new translation over Tanks-
giving. He said growing up he was
taught the importance of the tradi-
tions in the Mass and that the new
translation is very diferent.
Although we are changing our
traditions, we are changing them
to be more literal to translations,
Fitz said. It needed to be done, but
it is still awkward.
Te Rev. Beseau said that like
anything, the change will take
time. He said for most people, the
changes will be good for increasing
their understanding of the Mass.
He said that the changes might
even cause more people to come
just out of curiosity.
Tere was a lot of humor,
laughter, a lot of humility when
people mess up and even the
priest. So I think thats been good,
he said about the frst Mass at the
St. Lawrence Catholic Center with
the changes.
Like anything new, it will take
time for people to adapt. Beseau
said the St. Lawrence Center is not
concerned about attendance num-
bers to drop or for students to lose
interest because so many students
want to know the Mass for when
they are home with their families
during winter break.
Te people who experience it,
they really like it, Beseau said.

Sam Clark, a sophomore from Mcpherson, references the liturgy guide provided at the St. lawrence Catholic Center. The guides
are needed to help the congregation understand the new english translation of the Mass.
Obama warned that if the coun-
try does not take action, the op-
portunities for Americans would
continue to wane.
Its heartbreaking enough that
there are millions of working
families in this country who are
now forced to take their children
to food banks for a decent meal.
But the idea that those children
might not have a chance to climb
out of that situation and back into
the middle class, no matter how
hard they work? Its wrong, he
said drawing loud applause.
The tone of the speech may
have a chord with members of the
Osawatomie community. During
the last decade in Osawatomie,
unemployment has increased
while population has dropped.
Obama made recommendations
of fair tax rates and increased em-
phasis on education as remedies
to the problem of wealth inequal-
ity and the lack of opportunity.
Investing in things like educa-
tion that give everybody a chance
to succeed. A tax code that makes
sure everybody pays their fair
share. And laws that make sure ev-
erybody follows the rules. Thats
what will transform our economy.
Thats what will grow our middle
class again, Obama said.
Members of the crowd had
waited outside in freezing tem-
peratures since five in the morn-
ing, and had camped out to receive
tickets for the event. The speech
lasted a little under an hour.

Jail escapist apprehended
after fve days on the loose
CONCORD, N.H. A bur-
glary suspect who escaped from a
New Hampshire jail and vowed re-
venge on two people in Maine was
caught Tuesday afer fve days on
the lam, police said.
David Glenn Hobson was cap-
tured Tuesday evening by U.S. mar-
shals near a grocery store in Roch-
ester, N.H., where hed been picked
up in a vehicle by a friend, Maine
state police spokesman Steve Mc-
Causland said. He did not have a
gun, like authorities had suspected,
and was arrested without incident,
McCausland said.
He was quickly taken into cus-
tody, said McCausland, who said
police had gotten a tip late in the
afernoon.
Hobson, 33, was in custody
Tuesday evening and couldnt be
reached for comment. His family
has declined to talk.
Hobson escaped from an Os-
sipee, N.H., jail, about 35 miles
away from where he was captured,
on Dec. 1 by scaling a razor-wire
fence in the recreation yard, au-
thorities said. Police believed he
had a gun and appeared to hold
a grudge against two people with
whom he once had a personal re-
lationship.
U.S. Marshal Noel March said
the two were aware of the threats
and were in a safe place.
Hobson, whose criminal record
includes a series of burglary con-
victions, wasnt going afer past
victims, March said before the cap-
ture.
But one of those burglary vic-
tims said she had lived in fear of
Hobson since he ransacked her
home several times in 2005 looking
for pain medication she takes for a
disability.
Hobson pleaded guilty in 2006
to more than a dozen burglar-
ies, including one at the home of
Lynne Mansur of Alfred, Maine.
He went to Alfred afer his escape
and bought clothes there, authori-
ties said.
Mansur told Te Associated
Press earlier on Tuesday that the
most valuable thing Hobson stole
from her was her sense of security.
Im scared and shaking and
sleeping with all sorts of things
around me, Mansur said, adding
that she keeps knives, tear gas and
an air horn near her bed. Im re-
ally thinking I just need to leave my
house, and thats not right.
Mansur said she had been reas-
sured by authorities that she wasnt
one of the people Hobson was afer.
She was contacted by a victim ad-
vocate for the York County district
attorneys ofce soon afer Hobsons
escape.
It doesnt protect me, but it
makes me feel like Im not totally
alone, Mansur said.
March vowed earlier Tuesday
that Hobson would be caught
but that law enforcement ofcials
would prefer he turn himself in so
no one gets hurt.
David Glenn Hobson is not
Houdini and hes not Whitey Bulg-
er, March said before the capture,
referring to the famous escape art-
ist and the notorious Boston mob
boss who was on the lam for more
than 16 years.

Pakistani actress
sues magazine over
provacative photos
NEW DELHI Pakistani
actress Veena Malik is suing a
popular Indian mens magazine
for millions of dollars, accus-
ing it of publishing photos she
says were doctored to make
her appear nude, her lawyer
said Monday.
Maliks racy images in the
December issue of FHM India
has triggered a fury across her
conservative Islamic country,
with one cleric calling them a
shame for all Muslims.
The photo essay appears to
make light of the military ri-
valry between India and Paki-
stan, nuclear-armed neighbors
who have fought three wars.
In the magazines cover
photo, Malik is shown wearing
no clothing, but with her arms
and legs discreetly positioned
to keep her covered. She has
the letters ISI stenciled on her
arm, representing Pakistans
powerful spy agency, the Inter-
Services Intelligence agency.
In a second photo, she is ly-
ing on a camouflage military
helmet and in a third she is
wearing what appears to be a
green ammunition belt and
pretending to pull the pin out
of a grenade with her teeth.
She appears to be topless in
those images.
Maliks lawyer, Ayaz Bila-
wala, denied the nude cover
photo was authentic and said
Malik was wearing underwear
throughout the entire shoot.
He sent notice to the magazine
and was filing papers in the
Mumbai High Court demand-
ing all copies of the magazine
be removed from newsstands,
he said. The suit was also seek-
ing 100 million rupees ($2 mil-
lion) in damages.
She has been cheated, and
there has been tampering, and
the photographs have been
morphed, he said. She has
not posed in the manner in
which she has been shown.
He also disputed the maga-
zines assertion that it pos-
sessed a video of the shoot that
would prove the photos were
real.
FHM India editor Kabeer
Sharma insisted the photos
were authentic and said he
had just come out of a meeting
with the magazines lawyers
where they watched the video
of the photo session proving
his case.
Its a considered decision on
our part not to make that video
public because of the nature of
the video, he said.
Sharma said the magazine
had received the legal notice.
The allegations are entirely
false and we are investigating
various options, including a
countersuit, he said.
Malik courted controversy
last year when she participated
in Indias Bigg Boss reality
show, where minor celebrities
are locked in a house together.
Conservative Pakistani cler-
ics lambasted her both for ap-
pearing on a show in arch-rival
India and for appearing to ca-
noodle with an Indian actor in
the house.

nbc stations team up
with nonproft stations
LoS AnGELES Ten nBC-owned tele-
vision stations across the nation will
team with nonproft news outlets in an
attempt to beef up their enterprise and
analytical reporting, the network an-
nounced Monday.
nBC affliates in Los Angeles, Chi-
cago and Philadelphia will work with
non-commercial outfts in those cit-
ies kPCC public radio, the Chicago
Reporter and whYY public radio and
television, respectively while all
of the networks owned-and-operated
stations will get early access to inves-
tigative reports from the independent,
nonproft newsroom Pro Publica. The
arrangement comes as Comcast moves
to fulfll its commitment to federal
regulators to strengthen local, public-
interest programming in the wake of
its purchase of nBCUniversal earlier
this year.
The partnerships also continue the
trend toward content sharing through-
out the media industry, as operators try
to trim the high costs that come with
producing stories on their own. The new
York Times, for example, has expanded
its editions in Chicago, San Francisco
and other locations via publishing part-
nerships with nonproft news outlets. in
Los Angeles, Pasadena-based kPCC-FM
(89.3) and nBC4 each plan to use con-
tent produced by the other and, in some
cases, stories that the two outlets will
develop together. Details and a starting
time for the joint content programming
remain to be worked out.
kPCC Chief Executive Bill Davis said
the for-proft station and his nonproft
radio outft will be able to expand the
size of their audiences and the reach of
their reporting. we can get to the kind
of investigative and enterprise stories
we wouldnt be able to singularly,
Davis said.

Different alternatives in campus transportation
It is safe to say that we all
enjoy music in one way or an-
other. How we listen to it and
where we get it varies from per-
son to person. The options are
endless: Frostwire, BitTorrent,
Shareaza, iTunes, Rhapsody, Ja-
mendo, CDs (if youre into that
sort of thing) and now, Googles
Android Market.
I am a dedicated iTunes
user because its simple and it
streams seamlessly to my other
iGadgets. With that being said,
it is nice to have options and
Google is giving us just that. In-
stead of Apples few free songs
for the week, Google has a new
free song everyday. If you are a
Google + user, once you buy a
song from Android Market, you
can send it to a friend and let
them listen to the entire song
once for free. Even though you
can listen to more than 30 sec-
onds of a song on iTunes, you
cant preview the entire song.
Who knows if Im about to
purchase an instrumental song
with just tambourines and a tri-
angle because the partial song
Im previewing on iTunes has
some vocals during the part of
the song I actually get to hear?
I wouldnt.
Google entices us with some
new features like a new car en-
ticing us with massage seats but
then takes away the new car
smell by not offering music by
all of our favorite artists. Sony
Music, Universal Music and
EMI Group Ltd. have all joined
with Google but not Warner
Music Group. Some of WMGs
current artists are Muse, Neil
Young, Michael Bubl, Alanis
Morissette, Prince, and Green
Day. Though there are addi-
tional smaller record labels
that have their artists music for
purchase through the Android
Market but as Alanis would say
of Googles lack of music on
their music store, Isnt it iron-
icdont you think?
Another downside of Googles
music store is the inability to
buy television shows. Now if
you were to check out Android
Market versus iTunes, you wont
see much of a difference. There
are books, movies, artist bios,
top songs and options that you
can find in both online stores.
But not being able to buy most
if not all of your media enter-
tainment from a site is a bit of a
detraction.
Being able to purchase music
on iTunes or Android Market
is like having heated seats or a
6-disc CD changer in a car. You
dont need to use either of them
but its nice to know theyre
there in case you do. Luckily its
not much of a commitment to
buy a $1.29 song compared to a
car but its still money; money
that companies are hoping we
spend with them.
In todays economy, its clear
to see that the consumer is the
one with the power so I say to
take as many music stores as
you want for a test drive and
choose the one with the best
options.

ism from Boston, Mass.

Speech helps society
This week, I saw several
Facebook and Twitter posts
about a video of a British
woman on a train in London
who made it very clear she
was really, truly British, un-
like the black passengers on
the train, she said.
The video showed this
woman spewing words of
hate toward the passengers
on the bus she considered to
be foreign because they were
not of white, Anglo-Saxon de-
scent.
As I watched the scene,
my heart ached for the other
passengers on the bus; for
children on the bus; for the
womans own young son, who
was sitting on her lap the en-
tire time. I cant even imagine
how the passengers she was
speaking directly to, telling
them to go back where they
came from, must have felt at
that moment.
I later learned this woman
was arrested on suspicion of
a racially-aggravated offense.
Her racism was disgusting and
intolerable. And, I certainly
understand if the state was
taking issue with her child be-
ing in an environment of ver-
bal abuse, although that is an
unrelated point to the arrest.
But the arrest got me thinking
about our civil liberties.
This woman was arrested
for stating her opinion, an
opinion of racism that unfor-
tunately has not been eradi-
cated from society but it
is her opinion nonetheless.
She was not inciting violence,
though she was using obscen-
ities in her speech.
Some might consider the
womans speech to be non-
physical violence. Im not sure
if we should put this in anoth-
er category of verbal violence
that isnt the same as express-
ing an opinion, but that may
be true. The arrest, though,
was based on the suspicion
that she was making racially
discriminatory statements in
public to people of another
race.
Of course, the laws about
public speech are very dif-
ferent in England than they
are here. But in the U.S., this
woman would not have been
arrested.
There are plenty of people
in our country, sadly, who
tell people who appear to be
foreign to go back to where
they came from. Though I
find that to be an unfortunate
opinion and rather rude and
discriminatory, these people
have every right to express
their views and are protected
by law.
The Supreme Court has up-
held a fairly rigid right to free
speech; there are some restric-
tions that are applied to com-
mercial speech or situations
that may compromise the civil
rights of another individual,
but as was clear earlier this
year in Snyder v. Phelps, even
outrageous speech can be
protected in public settings. I
value that freedom of speech,
even if some use it destruc-
tively.
Even when the power of
speech is used in a negative
way, the freedom to do so can
bring good things. Several
comments on the original
YouTube video were al-
most as bad as the video
itself. While it was disap-
pointing that a discussion
about the issue stirred up
even more racist attitudes,
it is important to note that
people were posting the
video all over social media
websites because they con-
demned her behavior. They
found it to be sad and infuri-
ating that racism still perme-
ates our communities, and
they felt compelled to share
their frustration.
There were also several
people in the video who stood
up to the woman and stood
in solidarity with their fellow
passengers. Passengers told
her to stop and that her be-
havior was unacceptable. One
young man sitting behind the
woman suddenly stood up
and threw down his bag, but
the other passengers calmed
him down and encouraged
him not to react in a way he
might regret later.
As a young woman hugged
this man, showing her support
for him as he faced racism
square in the face, it remind-
ed me to look at this situa-
tion with hope and not defeat.
People use free speech to ex-
press disturbing views, but it
just compels us to come to-
gether to fight racism and dis-
crimination in a constructive
and peaceful way. In this way,
freedom of speech contributes
even indirectly to a more just
and equitable society.

People get around campus in
many diferent ways. However,
the transportation options are
limited to walking, taking the
bus or riding your own bike
around campus.
What if the university gave
students more options to get
to and from class? Tanks to
the eforts of Student Senate,
the ENTR 450 class, KU Park-
ing and Transit and Hertz Car
Rental, there will be two brand
new alternatives available soon.
Bike and car rentals. Tese are
welcome choices for students
whose needs are not completely
satisfed with the conventional
methods of transportation.
Te bike rental option, a
product of the entrepreneur-
ship class and Student Sen-
ate, should be welcomed by
students on campus. Riding a
bike to class is an efcient way
to get exercise while not being
late for class and not hurting
the environment with carbon
emissions.
However, there are a few con-
cerns that should be addressed.
Te bike racks on campus are
usually at full capacity without
rentals. Te school should in-
crease the amount of racks to
accurately refect the additional
bike renters. Also, Student Sen-
ate should decide if the rental
stations will be automated or
manned, and how the Universi-
ty plans to ensure rented bikes
are returned.
KU Parking and Transit and
Hertz car rental service wont
afect on-campus parking since
the plans call for only four
rental cars. Hourly rates will be
between $8 and $10. For about
$62, the members can rent a car
for the day.
With the rental service, a
student can go online, rent a
car, and pick up a friend who
may be too intoxicated to drive
home from the bars. Students
with short work in nearby cities
would be able to drive there at a
much cheaper rate than taking
a taxi. Anyone going to events
in Kansas City now have a vi-
able alternative to relying on
someone else for the drive.
While the use of the service
by students is unclear right now,
KU Parking and Transit should
evaluate how the four cars are
used and consider adding more
if the service is a success.
Both of these are, as of yet,
still on the horizon. However,
stay informed and take advan-
tage of both transportation
options, once they become
available. For more informa-
tion about the car rental ser-
vice, visit http://www.parking.

bike rental program, contact

Jeff Withey, Junior
Robinson
comes in at a close
second place here,
but withey was
one block shy of a
triple-double and
earned this spot
through aggression
and consistency.
witheys doubters have claimed that hes
too soft and lacks the passion to become
a great player. in the second half, he ab-
sorbed contact by the paint, forcing one of
his teeth through his upper lip. withey left
for the locker room, then returned to the
game with the same passion he displayed
before the blood. sound soft to you?
Game to remember

Quote of the game
Withey
Johnson
Elijah Johnson,
Junior
Perhaps readers
should get used
to seeing Johnson
in this spot. this
marks three games
in a row here for the
streaky guard with too
much on his mind. he
fouled out in just 23 minutes played,
surrendered four turnovers and was
generally unimpressive as a scorer.
teahan has outplayed Johnson since
the return frommaui and could
replace himin the starting lineup.
if Johnson can bounce back against
ohio state on saturday, all will be
forgotten. however his 23 points
against UcLa is looking more like an
outlier than something to depend on.
Withey
Jeff Witheys nine blocked shots were the second highest single-game total in Kansas history.
The 22 Kansas turnovers were a season high.
The 3 steals for Kansas were a season low.
Long Beach States 15 steals were the most by a Kansas opponent since UCLA had the same amount in the 2007 NCAA
tournament.

hesitates before going back up for the dunk, 39-22 Kansas.

Long Beach state gets within four points, 60-56. Bill self calls a timeout.

3-pointer, getting the 49ers within seven, 73-66.
2:09- tyshawn taylor drives the lane, fnds and opening and is fouled. his

Jeff Withey has probably
never felt as good on a col-
lege basketball court as he
did on Tuesday night in his
teams 88-80 win over Long
Beach State. He finished
with career highs in both
rebounds and blocked shots
during the best game of his
college career. Coach Bill
Self thought he was the best
player in the game, and his
stellar performance wasnt
completely expected.
The junior center played
just 6.2 minutes per game
last season and saw just 3.0
minutes of action per con-
test as a freshman. This sea-
son has been significantly
different for the former
Arizona transfer. Withey is
averaging 22.6 minutes per
game and has started ev-
ery time out. On Tuesday
night, however, everything
seemed to click. Withey
played 31 minutes and fell
just one block short from a
triple-double. He finished
with 13 points, 13 rebounds
and nine blocks.
I didnt realize I was that
close until towards the end
of the game, Withey said of
his near-triple-double.
The 13 rebounds and
nine blocks were career
highs for the former stand-
out high school center
from San Diego, Calif. His
happy-go-lucky attitude he
often carries around was
a far cry from his on-the-
court performance Tuesday,
where he altered shots and
grabbed loose balls with
reckless abandon. He how-
ever reverted back to his
quiet personality after the
game.
When asked about his
close proximity to a triple-
double, he shrugged his
shoulders and said he will
just have to try some other
time. He said the ball was
just flying his way during
the game. The real answer
probably has more to do
with the insistence on ag-
gressiveness from coaches
in practice and the inevi-
tability that a player with
Witheys size and skill will
eventually have a game like
this, in which he dominates
the paint on both ends of the
court. He said he had never
really been in a close, late
game situation like Tuesday
nights affair. The 22 Kan-
sas turnovers were a season
high and Long Beach State
got within four points with
under 45 seconds to play.
Luckily for Jayhawk fans,
their 7-foot center had a
personal career-high game.
He was a presence in-
side, Self said. He did a
really good job at blocking
and altering. I thought Jeff
was a really big factor, no
question about it.

Coach search
halted as coach
jobs open up
football
While coaching searches
across the country remain in
limbo, the Kansas coaching
search appears to have been
placed on pause. And its not by
choice that the coaching search
has had to come to a halt, its the
other job openings across the
country that have forced Kan-
sas athletics director Sheahon
Zenger to take a break.
When Texas A&M fired its
coach, Mike Sherman, its targets
directly conflicted and delayed
the Kansas coaching search.
Southern Mississippi coach
Larry Fedora, a College Station,
Texas, native, appeared to be
a top choice for Kansas. When
Fedoras Golden Eagles beat the
University of Houston 49-28,
the coach soared on everybodys
radar across the country.
As Texas A&M pushed toward
Fedora, North Carolina looked
at him as well. While there have
been multiple unconfirmed re-
ports of both North Carolina
and Texas A&M having inter-
viewed with Fedora, there have
been none connected than Kan-
sas to the coach who was, at one
point, a listed favorite for the
Kansas job.
So, while Fedora works out
his future position, Zenger has
supposedly been forced to wait
to make a move.
Hes been traveling since last
Wednesday, interviewing candi-
dates and looking for the right
man. And if Zenger believes Fe-
dora is the right man, he will not
make a move until he is sure that
Fedora is off the board. Zenger
could still move before any offi-
cial word is released on Fedora,
if he receives word that Fedora
is out of reach for Kansas.
While the waiting game con-
tinues, new names have popped
up in relation to the Kansas
coaching job.
More New NaMes:
Phillip Fulmer
While Phillip Fulmer is not
truly a new name for Kansas - he
interviewed for the opening two
years ago hes one name that
has recently come onto the radar
for Kansas. The former Tennes-
see coach had a 152-52 record in
13 seasons with the Volunteers.
He won a national champion-
ship for Tennessee in 1998.
The main drawback for Ful-
mer would be his age. At 61,
Fulmer doesnt fit the mold
as the man that would build a
long-term dynasty at Kansas.
Troy Calhoun
Troy Calhoun is a master of
the triple-option offense and
has appeared to have blipped
onto the Jayhawks radar.
The triple option offense is
rare and can often be tough for
opposing teams to prepare for,
which would give the Jayhawks
a leg up in Big 12 and non con-
ference play. Georgia Tech has
had success with the triple op-
tion offense, going 34-18 under
triple-option specialist Paul
Johnson.

cross country
frostbite causes runner to lose limbs
ANCHORAGE, Alaska A
campus police report provides new
details about why an All-American
cross-country runner from the Uni-
versity of Alaska Anchorage spent
three days alone in the freezing
woods and had to have his feet am-
putated. It said he went for a run be-
cause he was feeling despondent and
passed out under a tree.
Marko Cheseto, 28, of Kenya, dis-
appeared from the university Nov. 6.
He was sufering from hypothermia
and severe frostbite to his feet when
he staggered into the lobby of an An-
chorage hotel three days later.
He was wearing a T-shirt, jeans,
two jackets and running shoes, but
no hat or gloves. His shoes were fro-
zen to his feet.
A university police report ob-
tained under an open records request
by Te Associated Press said Cheseto
told ofcers he woke up the morning
of Nov. 6 and sought out his room-
mate. He wanted to tell him he was
having to struggle to get through
life, but his roommate had to work.
Chesetos despondency grew.
He told me that he felt like no one
had been able to understand how
difcult things had been for him,
and that everyone basically just said,
Hang in there, the ofcers report
said.
Te report had sections redacted
and didnt elaborate on Chesetos
problems.
Cheseto was a top runner on his
team but took last season of follow-
ing the suicide of his close friend,
teammate and fellow Kenyan Wil-
liam Ritekwiang.
Ritekwiang was found dead in
February in his apartment near cam-
pus.
Michael Friess, the universitys
head cross country and track and
feld coach, said Cheseto received
counseling afer Ritekwiangs death
and was still being treated when he
took his run in the woods.
Te report said Cheseto began his
run the afernoon of Nov. 6 on a pop-
ular trail, covered in snow this time
of year. He took a lef turn of the trail
and ran into the woods, where he told
police he passed out under a tree.
When he awoke it was snowing.
He didnt have much snow on his
upper body, but his legs were buried
in snow. He realized his feet were
frozen.
Te report says Cheseto lay there
for about another half-hour and re-
alized he was getting even colder.
He told police he pulled himself up
by holding onto a tree. He started to
do exercises to get some feeling back
into his legs so he could walk out of
the woods.
He walked toward the sound of
cars and eventually walked into a
hotel lobby, where employees rushed
him over to a freplace, put a blanket
on him and called 911.
It is hard to understand depres-
sion, Friess said. Yes, he was in the
wrong place, he fell down, you could
describe it. But in my opinion the
strongest aspect is that he got up.
He wasnt found. He returned to
us, Friess said.
Details from the university police
report frst appeared in Te North-
ern Lights campus newspaper.
Cheseto, a long-distance runner
working on a nursing degree, dis-
appeared a day afer the university
cross-country teams triumphant re-
turn to Anchorage from the NCAA
Division II West Region Champion-
ships in Spokane, Wash. Te Sea-
wolves won every championship up
for grabs at the meet.
Cheseto had won the West Region
Championships in cross country in
2009 and 2010. He had used his f-
nal season of cross-country eligibil-
ity but was expected to compete in
spring track.
Patrick Cohn, a sports psychology
expert and founder of Peak Perfor-
mance Sports in Orlando, Fla., said it
can be a difcult process for student
athletes as they move toward careers
in other felds.
When they stop they lose that
identity. Who am I? Not the student
athlete, Cohn said.

Pedophile admits to sexually abusing boy
PORTLAND, Maine A man
who accused former Syracuse Uni-
versity assistant basketball coach
Bernie Fine of molesting him admit-
ted Monday that he sexually abused a
boy in Maine.
Zach Tomaselli, of Lewiston, told
Te Associated Press that he sexually
abused the boy when the victim was
13 and 14 years old. Tomaselli said he
knew the boy and worked as a coun-
selor at a camp the boy attended.
Now that hes getting counseling,
Tomaselli said he understands that
he was subconsciously grooming the
boy for a relationship, as is ofen the
case with pedophiles. He said hes
glad that he was caught before the
abuse became worse, so that he can
get help.
Tomaselli, 23, became the third
man to level sexual abuse allegations
against Fine when he told police in
Syracuse that Fine frst molested him
in a Pittsburgh hotel room in 2002.
He said Fine who has denied
any wrongdoing but was fred by
the university showed him porn,
fondled him and watched him
shower naked.
Te only thing that transpired
was the same stuf that happened to
me, Tomaselli said of his relation-
ship with the teenage boy in Maine.
Tis kid has been through a lot be-
cause of the way I controlled him and
abused him.
Tomaselli has pleaded not guilty
to 11 charges including gross sexual
assault, tampering with a victim and
unlawful sexual contact.
But he said he anticipates that hell
plead guilty in Superior Court and
that a plea bargain is in the works.
Te plea bargain calls for him to
serve three years, or perhaps less,
in prison and to register as a sex of-
fender for life, he said.
I dont really see any other way at
this point, he said.
Tomasellis lawyer went to court
last week seeking to suppress his
confession to police. Defense lawyer
Justin Leary said the confession was
coerced by a detective afer a lengthy
interview, and the judge hadnt ruled
on the motion as of Monday.
On Monday, Tomaselli said he was
sick of hiding behind my attorney.
Leary declined comment Monday
evening on his clients comments to
the AP.
Tomaselli also has said that he was
abused by his father, Fred Tomaselli,
and that he went to police about it
in June in upstate New York. No
charges were fled, and Fred Toma-
selli said the allegations were totally
unfounded.
On Monday, Zach Tomaselli said
hes taking responsibility and doesnt
want to blame Fine or his father for
his actions in Lewiston, where he
lives with his grandmother.
Tomaselli said he and the victim
disagree on some details but most
of the accusations were true. He said
he fondled the boy once when the
boy was 13 and a couple more times
when he was 14.
Pretty much everything he said is
absolutely right, Tomaselli said.
Tomaselli said the relationship
was consensual and there were no
threats.
He acknowledged, however, that
he created a fake Facebook account
to manipulate the victim and that he
even allowed the victim to believe
the Facebook friend died of cancer.
He said his judgment was hampered
by a powerful narcotic, Oxycodone,
which he said he was taking for se-
vere headaches.

Four athletes signed national let-
ters of intent to join the rowing team
at Kansas next season, KU Athletics
announced Tuesday. All four will at-
tend the University of Kansas and
will be eligible to compete next fall.
Casey Kelly from Gladstone, Mo.,
Briana Pia from Wichita, Hannah
Arch from Lawrence and Breeona
Foster from Pleasant Hill, Mo., are
all high school seniors who will be
rowing under coach Rob Catloth for
the 2012-13 season.
Although none of the recruits
have ever rowed competitively, Cat-
loth believes that they will have an
immediate impact on the team. All
four of the girls have played mul-
tiple years of high school sports and
therefore possess athletic ability.
Arch, who is team co-captain for
her senior season, is a three-year let-
terwinner at Free State High School
for the swim team and placed 6th
place at the state.
Hannah has good height and be-
cause of her swimming background
it should be an easy transition to
rowing, said Catloth. Swimming
is a good changeover to rowing be-
cause they both have similar train-
ing.
Kellys athleticism stems from her
four years of playing high school
volleyball for Winnetonka High
School.
Were excited about her athletic
potential, said Catloth. She will
provide some great depth to our
novice program in her frst year.
Foster, two-time all-conference
basketball player, excelled dur-
ing her time at Pleasant Hill High
School. Last year, during her junior
campaign, Foster helped her team
reach the State quarterfnals.
Shes a really strong athlete who
should make an impact very early on
in her rowing career, Catloth said.
Pia participated in cross country
and track & feld at Goddard High
School, but she was recruited by Cat-
loth to be the coxswain on the boat.
Te coxswain sits at the front and
keeps the rowers together.
We are really impressed with the
leadership that she has shown, Cat-
loth said. We hope she will continue
to use that leadership in the boat.
Tere are eight senior rowers
graduating in the spring, so the team
is thankful for the new recruits and
are hoping to see more signees later
in the signing season.

MANHATTAN, Kan. Bill Sny-
der retired six years ago convinced
that he was done with coaching col-
lege football. He wanted to spend
more time with his family, make
up for all of his kids ballgames and
ballets that he missed while build-
ing Kansas State to unprecedented
heights.
Te 72-year-old coach came back
to the sidelines three years ago reju-
venated. And in that short of time
he did the unthinkable: Snyder re-
turned his once-mighty program to
the national consciousness.
On Tuesday, he was the runaway
pick as the APs Big 12 coach of the
year.
Snyder was selected on 16 of the
17 ballots turned in by media mem-
bers who regularly cover the league.
Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State,
which won the Big 12 championship
but was lef out of national title game
despite just one loss, received the
only other vote.
I am extremely proud of our
coaches and the young men in our
program for working and preparing
each day to get better, Snyder said in
a statement to the AP. Te success
we have had to this point in the sea-
son has been a direct result of that,
and I appreciate very much their
willingness to work and achieve the
goals that we set out each day to ac-
complish.
Picked to fnish eighth in the
conference, the No. 11 Wildcats
(10-2) instead fnished eighth in
the BCS. Tey were bypassed by
the Sugar Bowl for two teams with
lesser resumes, but will still play No.
7 Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl, one
of four matchups between top-10
teams in the BCS standings.
Its the third time that Snyder
has been voted Big 12 coach of the
year he also was the APs national
coach of the year in 1998, when the
Wildcats were within a double-over-
time loss to Texas A&M in the Big 12
title game of playing for the national
championship.
Tat magical season was the cul-
mination of his frst rebuilding job,
one that virtually nobody thought
possible. Te worst program in the
history of college football had been
winless in 27 games, and hadnt won
a conference championship in more
than fve decades. Friends begged
the non-descript ofensive coordina-
tor from Iowa not to take the job.
By his ffh season, Snyder had
Kansas State winning its frst bowl
game. Five more years passed and
the school rose to the doorstep of
the national title. Five more years
went by and the Wildcats knocked
of then-No. 1 Oklahoma for the Big
12 championship on a cold night at
Arrowhead Stadium.

Big 12 conference to keep championship game
LONDON U.K. Olympic orga-
nizers run a risk of exceeding their
9.3 billion-pound ($14.6 billion)
budget for hosting the 2012 London
games and have little room lef for
unforeseen costs, Britains spending
watchdog warned Tuesday.
Te National Audit Ofce report
concluded that while the venues
are on time and largely complete,
not everything is rosy. Te report
came as British Olympic ofcials an-
nounced that they had doubled the
funding for security operations at
venues, raising overall security costs
for the 2012 Games to more than 1
billion pounds ($1.6 billion).
Te government is confdent
that there is money available to meet
known risks, but, in my view, the
likelihood that the games can still
be funded within the existing 9.3
billion-pound public sector fund-
ing package is so fnely balanced that
there is a real risk more money will
be needed, said Amyas Morse, the
head of the National Audit Ofce.
If thats the case, Olympic ofcials
would be heading back hat in hand
to British taxpapers who are already
embroiled in tough economic times.
Te Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development expects
the U.K. economy to contract in this
current quarter and in the frst three
months of 2012 and grow only 0.5
percent next year.
Britains National Audit Ofce,
an independent organization,
examines public spending on behalf
of Parliament.
Just hours before the report,
Olympics minister Hugh Robertson
told reporters at a news conference
that the London Games remained
fnancially on track and within
budget contingency planning despite
the increased security costs. But the
new security costs will certainly be-
come a sensitive political issue.
Were confdent we can do this
and remain on budget, Robertson
said.
But the auditors noted that only
500 million pounds ($785 million)
remains unallocated for dealing with
future costs a fact that will alarm
ministers already trying to stem
public anger over cuts in pensions,
social services and national pro-
grams. Security and transport costs
fgured among the question marks
in the future.
Te increase comes afer security
reviews suggested the initial esti-
mate of 10,000 security guards for
the games would not be enough.
Tousands of soldiers are now part
of the planning, though ofcials have
declined to reveal the exact number.
Robertson made clear that secu-
rity was not a negotiable item and
that the British government was
obligated to make sure it took every
precaution to make the July 27-Aug.
12 event safe.
Te government said an addition-
al 271 million pounds ($424 million)
has been allocated to making venues
and other sensitive sites, such as ho-
tels, more secure. Tat means the
total cost of securing the venues has
climbed to over 553 million pounds
($862 million).
But the rise announced Monday
only deals with security guards and
other measures needed to protect
the venues and related sites. Tat
money is in addition to the cost of
paying police and others services
to provide overall security for the
games. Although Britains Home Of-
fce initially budgeted 600 million
pounds ($940 million) for that, that
number has been trimmed to 475
million pounds ($745 million).
Authorities say they could only
come up with a fgure afer com-
plex arrangements to actually stage
the games were in place. Robertson
said an evolving security picture also
played a role, suggesting that plan-
ners could not have known about
the Arab Spring, for example, when
frst making their plans. He insisted
that the British riots last summer,
however, did not play a role in the
funding increase.
But Tony Travers, a government
expert at the London School of Eco-
nomics, said the riots will serve to
spook politicians about planning for
the unknown unknown.
Security and transport are clearly
by a long way the remaining un-
known elements in the Olympics be-
ing delivered, Travers said. Security
for cost reasons and transport for
uncertainty of efectiveness reasons.
Auditors also expressed concern
about the failure to fnalize transport
plans around the venues, pushed
back from November to March.

ear football coaches,
I know Im not one of your
kind.
My only experience playing football
came in middle school. I was an of-
fensive guard for a lightweight team.
With a body more appropriate for math
problems, I blocked people by grab-
bing their jerseys and not letting go.
I know you dont have many job
openings on your staffs, especially in
these tough economic times. I cant
help you call plays, manage the depth
chart or control egos.
So why should you hire me? I can
help you in one area that seemingly no
coach understands: clock management.
Another week came in the NFL, and
another coach made himself look silly
by managing the clock in laughable
fashion. Dallas Cowboys coach Jason
Garrett was this weeks culprit.
With 26 seconds remaining in the
fourth quarter and tied 13-13 against
the Cardinals, the Cowboys found
themselves at the Arizona 31-yard-line.
They had two timeouts left.
Instead of using a timeout and run-
ning a few plays to potentially make
life easier for kicker Dan Bailey, Garrett
decided to let the clock tick. And tick.
And tick. Quarterback Tony Romo non-
chalantly snapped the ball and spiked it
with seven seconds remaining.
The kicking unit marched onto the
field, prepping for a game-winning
49-yard attempt. The Cowboys special
teams coaches thought the unit wouldnt
be ready before the play clock expired,
so Garrett signaled in a timeout.
The play continued before the timeout
was acknowledged, and Bailey made the
field goal that didnt count, as he needed
to do for the sake of the coaches-cant-
manage-the-clock narrative. About a
minute later, Bailey missed the one that
mattered and Americas Team lost in
overtime.
Monday Morning Quarterbacks and
talking heads roared about Garrett ic-
ing his own kicker with the timeout,
but I dont have a problem with that.
Heres the real issue: Garrett opted to let
his rookie kicker try a tense 49-yarder
instead of using his timeouts and poten-
tially moving it 10 to 15 yards closer.
Collectively, coaches are pretty old.
At 45, Garrett is one of the youngest
guys in the business.
Youre all old enough that you
couldnt sit in your basement as
12-year-olds and play hours upon
hours of Madden and NCAA Football
video games.
I could, and I did.
You didnt set up two-minute-drill
scenarios in those video games and
replay them over and over until your
parents pried the controller from your
fatigued fingers.
I did.
And you dont have the ability to
watch the endings of tons of games each
week, breaking down exactly how the
clock should be managed.
I, thank goodness, have the NFL
RedZone Channel.
Heres my proposal: Ill serve as your
Clock Management Consultant. I
dont expect wages. A few team jack-
ets and a press conference name drop
would work just fine.
Heck, if youre worried about how
the media will portray the hiring of a
college student as a clock consultant,
Ill sit in the front row behind the bench
with an earpiece and manage the clock

istoric Allen Fieldhouse
will host Saturdays much
anticipated heavyweight
fght. Heavyweight bouts without
a title on the line arent sexy, but
they are still nothing to scof at. Te
pending duel between Tomas Rob-
inson and Ohio States star player
Jared Sullinger (assuming Sullinger
plays) has more on the line than just
a victory.
Both of these players were
recognized as preseason All-
Americans by college basketball
pundits. Sullinger and Robinson
understand their value as players
and that their performances
dictate the fate of their teams. As
nationally identifed elite players,
Robinson and Sullinger have a
bulls-eye attached to their names,
which means opponents will aim to
knock them out. On Saturday, the
slobberknocker between Sullinger
and Robinson should bring the best
out of both players because they
know that the sports nation will give
its undivided attention to witness the
star-studded contest, and perception
will change based on their
performance. Both Robinson and
Sullinger strive to be the top forward
in the nation, and they both know
that if they want to be considered
the best, they must play their best
against other great players to live up
to the All-American accolades.
For Robinson and Sullinger,
the bout on Saturday is personal.
During the ofseason, Robinson and
Sullinger participated in the Lebron
James Skills Academy and the
Amare Stoudemire Skills Academy.
Both players battled against each
other and made an impression on
the national media, fellow college
basketball players and NBA players.
Since the summer camps, Robinson
has had the Ohio State game circled
on his calendar solely because of
his matchup against Sullinger. Both
players respect each other, but they
are vying for supremacy and brag-
ging rights.
Robinson and Sullingers NBA
Draf stock is through the roof,
and a future big fat paycheck is in
store for them as long as they play
superbly. Both players want to prove
that they are more deserving of a
bigger paycheck and a higher draf
selection. Whoever plays better in
this fght will create a lot of buzz in
the NBA community, and the na-
tional media will center its attention
on the winner.
Te bout wont be decided based
only on who recorded better statis-
tics and won the game, but also how
they got their teammates involved.
Because Robinson and Sullinger
will draw double-teams and buckets
will be hard to come by, they must
fnd their teammates so their ofense
can operate accordingly. Te title
of the Beatles song With a Little
Help from My Friends says it all.
Robinson and Sullinger cannot win
the match single-handedly. Other
marquee and role players must
step up and alleviate Sullinger and
Robinsons workload.
It will be a pugnacious war of at-
trition, might and strength between
Sullinger and Robinson. Whoever
can land more uppercuts and hay-
makers will triumph and seize glory.

How a team responds afer suf-
fering its frst loss of the season is
telling of the rest of the year.
Afer losing to Alabama 80-76
on Sunday, the Kansas womens
basketball team cited reason
for the defeat and what it can
improve on.
Following extensive looks at
the tape, coach Bonnie Henrick-
son said poor positional defense
led to Kansas trailing for most of
the game.
Tis was the frst game of the
year where the Jayhawks trailed
by a large margin and being in
a defcit led to the coaching staf
to only use six players for 20 or
more minutes.
We were playing from behind
on the road and we havent played
from behind all year, Henrickson
said. Youre going to go back to
the guys that have been there be-
fore and give you the best chance
to win.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich
proved to be the player Kansas
relied on more than anyone and
played the entire 40 minutes of
the contest. She ended the game
with a near triple-double of seven
points, nine rebounds and 12
assists.
But Goodrich was too much
into the fow of the game to no-
tice her extended role.
To be honest I didnt know
I played 40 minutes, Goodrich
said.
Both Goodrich and sopho-
more forward Tania Jackson
also commented on the quick-
ness of the Alabama players.
Both players see plenty of qual-
ity athletes in the Big 12, but the
Crimson Tide showed of SEC
speed on Sunday.
As the Jayhawks move into
the last few game of their
non-conference schedule on
Tursday, they know that one
thing they should eliminate are
turnovers.
Tis has been a growing
problem for Kansas, but all they
can do is continue to work it out
in practice.
We need to be able to take
care of the ball in practice and
build up the confdence that
were not going to turn the ball
over in the game, Goodrich
said.
Jackson followed Goodrichs
sentiment.
We feel pretty good. I think
we have that experience from
everyone coming back last year,
Jackson said. I think we had
enough experience to pull out the
win, we just fell short.
Jackson continues to be a key
contributor of the bench for
Kansas. But even when shes not
playing, Jackson cheers harder
than anyone and provides insight
to other players on the bench.
My communication is more of
a distinctive role, Jackson said.
If Im not communicating it, ev-
eryone can see it.

Junior forward thomas Robinson puts up a short range shot in the second half tuesday. Robinson was 10-14 from the feld.
When junior forward Thom-
as Robinson shot the ball from
outside the paint last season,
spectators turned their heads
in shame and blamed NBA
scouts for his experimentation.
Now, when Robinson fires
away, those same spectators
can breathe easy and expect
a swish, or at least something
close to it.
Robinsons eight-for-eight
start from the field appeared
rather routine. A jumper from
the left elbow. Another from
behind the free throw line.
As much I worked on it,
Im going to be honest with
myself, Robinson said. Dont
expect me to come out seven-
for-seven every night.
Robinsons shots kept falling
and the Jayhawks seemed to be
on their way to an easy victory.
But that was the first half.
Long Beach State augmented
the pressure in the second half
Tuesday night at Allen Field-
house and No. 13 Kansas (6-2)
snuck away with a 88-80 victo-
ry that never should have been
so close.
That was a game we had
won several times, coach Bill
Self said. Our inability to
think, pass, catch or execute at
all in late-game situations was
the reason the game was close
late.
The 49ers scored 25 points
off 16 turnovers by the Jay-
hawks in the second half. Er-
rant passes flew with regulari-
ty, especially when Long Beach
State coach Dan Monson craft-
ed a mild full-court press. But
Robinson had an explanation
for his teams carelessness with
the ball.
Its that ADD again, he
said. Thats all it was. It kicked
in, I caught it, a couple of our
guys caught it.
Senior guard Conner Teahan
said that the team worries too
much about previous mistakes
and that it still proves its inex-
perience each game.
Sometimes people try to get
in a mode where theyre trying
to make extraordinary plays,
Teahan said. Its a combina-
tion of easy plays that make a
great play.
The lack of caution shrunk
the teams lead and forced Self
to stick with his starters at the
end of the game. Despite the
comeback attempt and constant
double teams, the 49ers never
found a way to slow Robinson,
who finished with a career high
26 points and 11 rebounds, his
seventh double-double in eight
games this season.
Junior center Jeff Withey
complemented Robinson in
the paint by altering shots and
fighting for rebounds. He left
the game briefly in the second
half when contact with the
hoop forced one of his teeth
through his lip. He dealt with
the blood, returned to the game
and finished with 13 points, 13
rebounds and 9 blocks, one
block shy of a triple-double.
Oh well, Withey said of the
triple-double. I guess Ill try
for another one.
For all the blood, come-
backs, contact and ADD, it was
Robinsons show. Hes a shooter
now, and Saturdays vistor, No.
2 Ohio State, may want to take
notice.
We wanted Robinson to try
to beat us from the perimeter,
Monson said. He certainly did
that.
