HI: 38 LO: 19 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. Edited by Jason Bennett 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.

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. toKYo 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. moScow 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. poRt-oF-SpaIN, tRINIDaD Sixteen men detained in an alleged plot to kill the prime minister and other offcials in Trini- dad and Tobago have been released after offcials 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. pLeaSe RecYcLe thIS NewSpapeR Every Wednesday from 7pmclose with your ku id 647 Mass St. | 785-843-0990 Buy one Get one Mariscos M & The Top Shelf Bar half price MARTINI NIGHT TONIGHT!

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. Edited by Mandy Matney haNNah WISe [email protected] haNNah WISe/KaNSaN 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.

OBAmA ON BiLL SELf naTional 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. aSSocIateD pReSS E THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN entertainment entertainment Wednesday, december 7, 2011 Page 4 HOROSCOPES Because the stars know things we dont. aries (march 21-april 19) Today is an 8 Confirm travel reserva- tions, and set the itinerary.

CRoSSwoRD SUDokU CRYPToqUiP ThE nExT PAnEL David Carpenter Nick Sambaluk ELSEwhERE oDD nEwS 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. assOciaTed Press TELEviSion 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.

2 8 9 - 8 3 5 1 teXt Free FOr ALL EdiTorial 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.

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. Cosby is senior in English and political science from Over- land Park.

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.

Withey on his near triple-double 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 Game to forget 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.

Kansas won the game 88-80. AbbY DAVIS/KANSAN Junior center Jeff withey holds tightly onto the ball. withey fnished the game with 13 total rebounds and nearly had a triple-double. mIKE GUNNoE/KANSAN coach Bill self shows his frustration in the frst half tuesday against Long Beach state. Kansas held a 12-point lead at halftime, but its lead was cut to four with under a minute to play before going on to win the game, 88-80. sEE mOrE PhOtOs FrOm thE gamE go to www.kansan.com @ 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.

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. Edited by Jonathan Shorman MIKE VERNoN [email protected] 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. ASSoCIAtED PRESS crIMInal 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.

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.

Pleasant Hill, Mo. gladstone, Mo. Wichita, Kan. 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.

Te athletics directors from all eight current members of the Big 12 and the two newest members were in attendance. Te timing of the meeting coincided with Tues- day evenings National Football Hall of Fame Banquet. Kansas City has a rich college basketball history and remains an attractive destination for our mens championship, said Jamie Pol- lard, Big 12 Conference athletics director chairman and Iowa State University athletics director, in a press release. It is an integral part of the Big 12 footprint and staging our championship at Sprint Cen- ter reinforces the strong presence of the Conference in the greater Kansas City area. Tere was concern the Big 12 would move its basketball cham- pionship elsewhere afer Missouri lef the Big 12 for the Southeast- ern Conference in November. Te athletic directors also dis- cussed football scheduling op- tions, the BCS and other matters at the meetings. Te Big 12 Mens Basketball championship is scheduled to re- main in Kansas City, Mo., through 2014.

Henrickson answered questions following her statement. the Jayhawks hope to improve from their 21-13 record of last year. internatiOnal 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. assOcIated press Feeling Playful? The Kansan App. is here for that.

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 while eating nachos. Ill be waiting for your call. If you wont hire me, please play some Mad- den and figure out how to manage the clock. Or hire somebody under the age of 25. Edited by C.J.

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. Edited by Jason Bennett 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. Edited by Rachel Schultz Jayhawks recover from frst loss of the season Womens BasKetBaLL ryan Mccarthy [email protected] chris Bronson/Kansan Junior guard angel goodrich drives down the court during the second half of a game against smU at allen Fieldhouse. Kansas is now 9-1 for the season. MiKe gunnoe/Kansan 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. Edited by Rachel Schultz Robinson improves his shooting Max rothMan [email protected]
