DIFFERENTIAL TUITION
CRIME
Fraternity
likely to be
punished
after kegger
The Interfraternity Council will begin an imme-
diate investigation into an unregistered fraternity
party over the weekend, Scott Shorten, president
of the Interfraternity Council, said.
The University of Kansas filed a formal com-
plaint against Phi Kappa Theta fraternity yester-
day, Marlesa Roney said. Roney is the vice provost
for student success. The chief justice of the IFC
disciplinary board has received the complaint and
the chapter will have a week to schedule a hear-
ing, Shorten said.
At about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Lawrence police
responded to a noise complaint at the Phi Kappa
Theta fraternity house, 1111 W. 11th Street,
according to a Lawrence police report.
Officers arrived at the scene and observed a
loud party at the residence. They also noticed
individuals at the entrance charging $5 for cups of
alcohol beverages, Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence
Police Department, said.
The officers cited seven individuals for viola-
tions that involved state alcohol regulations,
which also violate University policies on fraterni-
ty functions.
Officers confiscated 16 kegs of beer, $517 in cash
and signs advertising the party. Ward said the signs
also advertised a wet T-shirt contest at the party.
The IFC requires all member chapters to regis-
ter all functions and events with them in an effort
to make sure they comply with policies, according
to a University statement.
Shorten, Stilwell junior, said the IFC would
decide on an appropriate punishment for the chap-
ter after the matter had been thoroughly investigat-
ed and would be determined based on IFC findings.
Punishments for incidents like this include var-
ious social probations and fines, Shorten said.
We do not tolerate these kinds of things,
Shorten said.
The Phi Kappa Theta national office is also
investigating the situation, said Kevin Lampe,
national secretary for Phi Kappa Theta fraternity.
The national office will pursue swift and appro-
priate disciplinary action against the chapter,
along with the University.
Lampe said that the national fraternity would
hold those who made improper choices responsi-
ble for their actions.
It was a very poor decision that overshadows
the positive things that fraternities do, he said.

New group to run
There will be a third coalition
running against Delta Force and
KUnited when Student Senate
holds its elections in April.
Dennis Chanay, Paola fresh-
man, will be the presidential
candidate for Student Voice
coalition.
Chanay and other members
of the newly formed coalition
will spend the next two weeks
trying to inform students of the
coalition and its platform.
We dont feel Student Senate
is representing students,
Chanay said. We think they
play into the administration too
much and are too worried about
what they think.
Chanay said the coalitions
main platform issue will be to
stop increasing tuition. He said
he thinks Senate is in favor of
such increases.
Student Voice would only
increase tuition when it is
absolutely necessary, Chanay
said.
Nick Sterner, Shawnee jun-
ior, and KUnited presidential
candidate said he is supportive
of a third coalition.
However, Sterner disagrees
with Chanays assessment that
Senate is pro tuition.
I dont feel anybody on cam-
pus is pro tuition, Sterner said.
Student Senate is doing their
best to represent all students
and we are not trying to cause
harm by raising tuition.
Student Voice will also work
to improve the wireless Internet
service on campus and expand
it to residence halls, Chanay
said.
Residence halls use an
Internet service called ResNet,
and Chanay said students have
been complaining about it.
We dont believe a stu-
dents only choice for Internet
should be ResNet, Chanay
said. We believe its very inef-
ficient and would like to give
students an opportunity to
choose between ResNet and
wireless Internet.
Chanay said Senate has
approximately $500,000 in its
reserve account and has the
ability to extend wireless
Internet on campus.
Student Voice will also push
for a Chipotle restaurant at the
Underground at Wescoe Hall.

AIR AND SPACE
Alumnus soars to expo
A passion for aeronautics
consumed Doug Shane at the
age of 15 when he began fly-
ing. The 1982 alumnus trans-
formed his hobby into his
career as a test pilot. Most
recently he was a part of a
breakthrough project, which
will eventually allow commer-
cial flights into space.
The former Jayhawk made
headlines last year as an engi-
neer and one of four test pilots
for SpaceShipOne, the first pri-
vate spaceship to be flown by a
civilian.
A vice president and test pilot
for Scaled Composites, Shane
will return to the University of
Kansas Friday as a key speaker
for this years School of

Input on fees sought
By the time Dustin Daigle, a psy-
chology major, graduates in May, he
will have taken 124 hours in the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Tuition without fees will have cost the
Topeka senior $13,375 for his four
years at the University of Kansas.
When Molly Horan, Topeka fresh-
man, graduates in May 2008, she will
likely pay the basic tuition rate for 31
hours a year plus an additional $1,860
in differential tuition fees to the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences if
the colleges proposed differential
tuition plan passes.
Horan, who pays for half of her
tuition, said she was not happy about
the prospect of paying more.
The extra fee makes a big differ-
ence, she said.
Beginning next semester, students
enrolled in the college would pay an
extra $10 per credit hour if the plan
passes. The fee would increase to $20
per credit hour for the 2006-07 school
year and then be capped at $30 for the
2007-08 year. The plan is set to con-
tinue for 20 years.
This week students will have their
last chance to express concerns or
show support for the CLAS differen-
tial tuition. Today through Friday,
every student will receive an e-mail
survey from the college, said Kim
Wilcox, dean of the college.
After gathering student and faculty
input, college leaders will bring the
proposal to the chancellor. The chan-
cellor will decide if the proposal will
be brought to the Board of Regents.
The majority of the money from the
differential fee would go toward the
renovation of Wescoe and a new natu-
ral sciences building. Twenty percent
of the total differential tuition revenue
would be used for college-specific
financial aid and scholarships.
Horan said that she would respond
to the survey but that she did not
agree with the fee because she would
not be here to use the new buildings.
She compared the situation to the
graduating class who had to pay extra
fees to help build the Student
Recreation Fitness Center beginning
in the fall of 1998. Those students
were not at the University of Kansas
when the center opened. As a result,
their memberships were extended for
the amount of semesters they paid for.
They had to pay more, but could
still use it, Horan said. We cant come
back and take a class in Wescoe.
Eva Pottruck, Coral Springs, Fla.,
freshman, said she understood having
to begin the differential tuition with a
class that would not be around to see
the finished product.
I wish I could be here to see it, but
people I know in the future will see it
and Ill be back to see it, Pottruck said.
Another concern of students is hav-
ing to pay more than one differential
tuition fee.
If the CLAS fee gets approved, stu-
dents in all other schools except
Social Welfare which will likely
propose its own differential tuition fee
will have to pay two differential
fees. One of those students is Matt
Baysinger, Stilwell freshman.
Baysinger, who is thinking about
majoring in business or journalism,
said he didnt mind having to pay two

Cost of proposed

for current freshmen
The College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences is proposing a differen-
tial tuition fee that would start
out at $10 a credit hour next year
and rise to $30 a credit hour by
the 2007-08 school year. The fol-
lowing shows how much freshmen
in various schools and degrees
would pay if the plan passes. The
costs are based on a student taking
31 credit hours a year or 124 cred-

Q
A
Q: What is
differential
tuition?
A: Differential tuition is an additional fee for
a program or school that has additional
expenses that are program specific. The fee is
charged to students in the program or school
rather than those that arent affected. For
example, the School of Pharmacy wanted to
change to a six-year degree instead of a four-
year degree. The question was whether to
raise tuition for everyone or just for the phar-
macy majors because it was specific enough
to their program.

Aid applications due soon
If time is money, then time is run-
ning out for students to maximize the
financial aid they can receive for the
next school year.
Students have until March 1 to com-
plete and submit their FAFSA Free
Application For Student Financial Aid
to receive priority consideration for
certain education funds.
Applying early can give students
and their parents an opportunity to
receive larger financial aid awards and
save money.
Just ask Janiece Gatson, Kansas
City, Mo., sophomore. This year shes
without a $1,000 grant that she had the
year before. Gatson said the difference
was probably the fact that she sent her
FAFSA before March 1 two years ago,
but didnt apply in time last year.
When I didnt apply, I didnt get as
much aid, Gatson said. One of them
was a grant, and that was the one I got
taken away.
Brenda Maigaard, director of stu-
dent financial aid at the University,
said students should complete
FAFSAs before March 1 to give them
a better opportunity to earn rewards
from limited-funds programs.
Some of the federal, state and insti-
tutional programs that we award stu-
dents are limited funded; that simply
means theres not enough to go to every-
one who is eligible, Maigaard said.
The limited-funds programs
include the Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant,
Federal Work Study, the Kansas
Comprehensive Grant and the KU
Tuition Grant.
And seeing how the financial aid
office processes approximately 20,000
applications every year, it is likely
those funds could be depleted by the
time procrastinators send their
FAFSA in later.
Students who apply after the prior-
ity date can receive financial aid, but
likely not as much as if they had
applied before the deadline.
Maigaard said another benefit of
submitting the application earlier is
that students would know the amount
of their rewards earlier, making finan-
cial planning for the year ahead more
manageable.
Then they can make those funding
decisions like how many hours do
they want to work during the summer,
those kinds of things, to help with
costs, Maigaard said.
Even students who have not filed
their taxes yet can make estimates
from their W-2 forms to submit their
FAFSA before the priority date, and
then readjust their FAFSA and still
earn the opportunity to receive a big-
ger reward.
Those in need of financial aid have
six days left to do the FAFSA. It can
be completed online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Applying soon would be a good way
to end February, which happens to be
Financial Aid Awareness Month.

Boeing sells plants to Onex
WICHITA Boeing Co. sold its
commercial aircraft plants in Kansas
and Oklahoma yesterday to a
Toronto-based investment group, part
of the companys strategy to focus on
design and final assembly.
Onex Corp. bought Boeings com-
mercial aircraft facility in Wichita,
along with plants in Tulsa and
McAlester, Okla., for about $1.2 bil-
lion. The Chicago-based aerospace
giant has been trying to sell the plants
for more than a year.
Starting from a great foundation,
our objective is to build the most effi-
cient and innovative company in the
aerostructures industry, Seth Mersky,
a managing director of Onex, said in a
statement announcing the sale.
There have been terrible job losses at
these plants over the last several
years. We confidently believe that can
be reversed.
Onexs new aerospace company
which has yet to be named would
include investors from Boeing man-
agement. Also undecided is how
many Boeing workers would be hired
at the new company those deci-
sions are still awaiting negotiations
with union officials.
Boeing is Kansas largest private
employer; about 7,200 people work at
the Wichita commercial plant, along
with as many as 1,300 at the two
smaller facilities in Oklahoma.
Boeings defense operations in
Wichita, which employ approximately
5,000 workers, are not involved in the
sale.
Separately, Boeing announced the
sale of its Rocketdyne rocket engine
subsidiary to United Technologies
Corp., parent of jet-engine maker
Pratt & Whitney, for about $700 mil-
lion cash. Rocketdyne has sites and
assets in California, Alabama,
Mississippi and Florida and 3,000
employees.
Onex is paying Boeing about $900
million in cash and taking on about
$300 million in liabilities. The deal
includes long-term agreements for
Onex to provide Boeing with parts
including fuselage sections and wing
elements on four of Boeings exist-
ing planes and the new 787
Dreamliner, the companys next-gen-
eration jet.
Mersky said Onex plans to invest
$1 billion in Kansas and Oklahoma
in the next five years and plans to
seek business with other aircraft
makers.
Boeing officials said the company
had received bids from several inter-
ested parties, including some who
wanted only part of the Wichita and
Oklahoma operations.
We thought Onex was the right
buyer, at the right time, because of
their track record working with
employees, the unions, the commu-
nity and their track record growing
companies, said Jim Morris, senior
vice president of supplier manage-
ment for Boeing Commercial
Airplanes.
The companies expect to close the
deal, which is subject to federal regu-
latory approval, in the second quar-
ter of 2005.
Onex plans to form a new compa-
ny to run the plants, to be led by Jeff
Turner, who is the vice president
and general manager of Boeings
operations in Wichita and
Oklahoma.
This agreement fully supports our
strategy to focus Boeing on large-scale
systems integration, which is where
we are most competitive and can add
the most value to our airplanes and
services, said Boeing commercial air-
planes chief Alan Mulally.
Boeing is operating its commer-
cial production facilities at 50 per-
cent capacity, by all accounts too
low for optimal use, said Nigel
Wright, Onexs managing director.
As an independent company, Onex
hopes to attract businesses from
Boeing competitors such as Airbus
and from smaller regional aircraft
manufacturers.

dents for $5 per semester to
improve the activities hosted
by Student Union Activities.
SUA would be able to
attract higher-profile names
and entertainers if the
increase in student fees pass-
es, said Jeff Dunlap, student
body vice president and
Leawood senior.
The bill will be proposed
to Senate committees in two
weeks, and if it passes, stu-
dents will vote on the
increase in the April election.
SUA has done a terrific
job with the budget they
have, but with the increase,
it would improve a lot,
Dunlap said.
Keith Ellis, SUA adviser,
said the organization has a
budget of $100,000, but if
the fee passes, the budget
could be $300,000. The
Union currently funds SUA
without aid from students.
Senate would have a con-
sulting role in hiring talent
for events, but it would leave
the majority of the work to
SUA, Dunlap said.
The most notable speaker
SUA has had this year is
actor/comedian Bill Cosby.
Cosby was funded by the
homecoming committee and
tickets cost $20.
Dunlap said that if the bill
passes, events like the one
that featured Cosby would
not be as expensive because
of the student fee charge.
Dunlap said if the bill was
passed by the Senate and
students in April, the
increase would go into effect
next fall.
Students at other Big 12
universities pay for SUA
events.
At Kansas State University
students pay $5.74 per semes-
ter and at Colorado students
pay $8.08 per semester.
There is no doubt that
our University should be
attracting bigger talent,
Dunlap said. If this passes,
it will enable us to do so.
Dunlap said that the
Robert J. Dole Institute of
Politics has helped the
University attract high-pro-
file political speakers,
including former President
Bill Clinton.
Speakers at the Dole
Institute, however, are not
affiliated with SUA or its
events.
Ellis said he was excited
to work with the Senate.
We contacted other
schools in the Big 12 and
found that we are really
behind in the amount of
money given to SUA, Ellis
said.
Another idea Senate is
exploring if the fee is passed
is making bowling at
Jaybowl free, Dunlap said.
Making it free would create
more interest in the Kansas
Union and in SUA, he said.

Brian Bizjack,
Tulsa sopho-
more, grinds
on a bike
rack behind
the aban-
doned
Lambda Chi
house yester-
day. Bizjack
holds the tick-
et he received
for more than
$70 for skate-
boarding in a
neighborhood
near campus.
Skateboarder learns limits the hard way
Brian Bizjack has never
had a problem with the law
in the eight years hes been
skateboarding.
That changed last week-
end after he was informed
that skateboarding within
1,000 feet of the University
of Kansas is illegal. But
Bizjack, Tulsa sophomore,
said he wasnt on University
property when a KU Public
Safety officer issued him a
notice to appear in
Lawrence Municipal Court.
He said he was skating on a
sidewalk in a neighbor-
hood.
Im pretty pissed off
because I got a ticket in a
neighborhood where I live,
Bizjack said.
He lives at the Theta Chi
fraternity house, 1003 Emery
Road.
Sunday afternoon,
Bizjack and a friend were
walking north along West
Campus Road, near Carruth-
OLeary Hall, southwest of
Memorial Stadium, carrying
their skateboards when they
noticed a KU Public Safety
officer watching them from
their car. He and his friend
then crossed the street and
began to walk north along
the sidewalk across from
campus.
As soon as he and his
friend began skateboarding,
the officer got out, confiscat-
ed the skateboards and
issued them a notice to
appear in municipal court,
Bizjack said.
Its like the cops were fol-
lowing us, he said. It was
really odd.
This is the second time a
KU Public Safety officer
has issued a notice to
appear for skateboarding
on campus property this
month. The first notice was
issued to an 18-year-old
male who was seen skate-
boarding near Wescoe Hall
Feb. 13.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU
Public Safety Office, said
that officers are not targeting
skateboarders, but if they
see people skateboarding
during their patrol, they can
issue a notice to appear in
court.
Its also at the officers dis-
cretion whether someone
seen skateboarding is given a
warning or immediately
issued a notice to appear,
Bailey said.
Two different officers
issued the citations for the
skateboarding incidents this
month, Bailey said.
According to Lawrence
city ordinance 17-703, skate-
boarding is prohibited in the
area of Jayhawk Boulevard
from West Campus Road to
13th Street, including 1,000
feet on either side of the
University.
Bizjack will have to pay a
$72 fine for violating this
ordinance.
Ive never had anyone
tell me not to skate on a
sidewalk, Bizjack said.
But apparently thats ille-
gal.

Weekend burglar
targets students
Lawrence police are investi-
gating two burglaries that
occurred over the weekend
affecting nine KU students, said
Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence
Police Department.
The first burglary occurred
sometime between 11:30 p.m.,
Feb. 19 and 2 a.m., Feb. 20 in
the 1300 block of Vermont
Street, according to a police
report. An unknown individual
forced entry through a rear bal-
cony door and removed about
$6,400 worth of property from
the four KU students who live
there.
Damage to the balcony door
was estimated at $150.
A second burglary occurred
between 12:15 a.m. and 1:40
a.m. on Feb. 20 in the 1300
block of Kentucky Street.
An unknown suspect entered
the residence and removed
items belonging to the five KU
students living there. The items
were estimated at $9,473.
It is not known how the sus-
pect entered the residence.
Joshua Bickel
Name of $1 million
donor announced
Student body vice president
Steve Munch announced the
name of the family who donat-
ed $1 million for the new
Multicultural Resource Center.
The money was given by the
Sabatini Family Foundation.
The family includes Frank C.
Sabatini, who is a KU alumnus
and a former state representa-
tive. He now lives in Topeka.
The money was donated in
2004, but the family did not
want to be its name to be
released until the full $2.7 mil-
lion for the MRC was raised.
The rest of the money was
raised by student fees and
other University funds.
Groundbreaking for the MRC
is tentatively scheduled for
August or September. The site
dedication is planned for March
2006.
The MRC will be built on the
north side of the Kansas Union
with an entrance on Jayhawk
Boulevard.

Students address CLAS tuition concerns
Engineering students came
together as a professional
school to express concerns
about a proposed College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences differ-
ential tuition Monday night.
The Engineering Student
Council was the first group to
talk with Kim Wilcox, dean of
liberal arts and sciences, as a
professional school this semes-
ter, Wilcox said.
Since the proposal of differ-
ential tuition for the college,
Wilcox has met with at least 60
groups of students.
Members of the council
sought clarification from Wilcox
about paying for CLAS-specific
financial aid and scholarships as
members of a professional
school.
Under the proposed differen-
tial tuition, 20 percent of the
extra tuition fees would go
toward financial aid and schol-
arships for students majoring in
the college.
That was the main reason
Andy Schmidt, Engineering
Student Council president, and
nearly 25 other professional
school students met with
Wilcox.
Were just looking out for
students, Schmidt,
Bloomington, Minn., senior,
said.
Before the meeting, the stu-
dents who attended thought the
financial aid part of the pro-
posal was unwarranted for stu-
dents who used the college only
for general education courses.
If some students have an
opportunity that other students
dont, to me and other students,
that seems a little unfair,
Schmidt said.
Wilcox said if the differential
tuition passed, only a small
group of students would be
excluded from the financial aid
created by extra money.
For example, he said many
engineering students double
major in Spanish, which is a
CLAS major. But students with
only an engineering major
would not qualify for CLAS
scholarships that they would be
required to fund.
After the meeting, the majori-
ty of the students left the with
positive feelings toward the dif-
ferential tuition, he said.
The students realized that
more attractive buildings for the
University would outweigh the
costs of scholarships that some
of them would never get to use,
Schmidt said.
Its totally worth it for
expanding KU and making it a
better institution, he said.
Schmidt said he would con-
tinue to push non-college stu-
dents to respond to the survey
and to understand the proposal.
Students from the school will
compose a letter to Wilcox out-
lining specific concerns and rec-
ommendations for the tuition
increase, he said.
The students plan to be sub-
mit it to Wilcox by next
Thursday pending approval of
the letter from the dean of engi-
neering.

FINANCES
Q: Why are fees different prices?
A: Because each school
wants different things.
Q: What is the CLAS going to do
with the differential tuition?
A: The college is going to be
using differential for a complete
renovation of Wescoe Hall,
construction of a new natural
science building, an initiation
of a college-wide renovation
program for existing spaces and
planning for a new social sci-
ences building.
Q: What do other schools do with
differential tuition?
A: Other schools use differential
fees for new programs, more pro-
fessors, more classes, technology
equipment and student support.
Q: Is it fair for students who
wont be at the University of Kansas
to enjoy the new buildings to pay for
them through the differential
tuition?
A: Most of the other schools
worked hard to make sure that
once they started charging there
was some benefit right away. In
the colleges case, they seem to
be predicating it on that they are
going to be phasing in the $30,
with the $10, $20 and $30 plan.
Their goal is also to deliver
something tangible to students
within the first three years.
Q: How important is the student
vote?
A: In my mind it is critical.
Weve required schools to show
student support for differential
tuition before taking it to the
Board of Regents. For example,
one of the first projects out of
the tuition enhancement pro-
gram was spent on equipment
for design studios, but the stu-
dents said they wanted more
and pushed the administration
for a differential tuition.
Q: Will it pass?
A: It will depend on student
turnout. Given the size and diver-
sity of the college, what would be
an effective show of support? Its
easier with a smaller school
where you can get all of the stu-
dents together. The notion of a
differential in the college has
drawn concern from some peo-
ple that see the college as the core
education. Its not seen as having
a core constituency that a profes-
sional school does. Some people
phrase it as Its the foundation
and ask, How can you add a dif-
ferential to the foundation?
Chanay believes it would be
profitable for Senate and benefi-
cial to students.
Student Voice has not
announced a vice presidential
candidate or a date for its kickoff
party. Coalition members will
spend the next couple of weeks
meeting people and finding out
what students want from Senate.
Student Voice has already set
up a meeting with the
Interfraternity Council this week
and will discuss how fraternities
and sororities can be more
involved in Senate.
Another thing we want to do
is increase the number of greek
senators, Chanay said. Right
now there is only two seats, we
would like to increase that by
two or three.
The greek seats are decided
by appointment rather than
vote right now. Chanay said
that is something they would
like to change as well.
Chanay is a freshman senator
in the finance committee. He
thinks his coalition will be suc-
cessful.
We wouldnt do this if we did-
nt think we could win, Chanay
said. We have the money and the
man power, and we believe we
will win this years election.

AMC announces
third-quarter loss
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Movie theater chain AMC
Entertainment Inc. said yester-
day it lost almost $60 million
during its third quarter, most of
that coming from expenses as
the company was bought and
taken private.
The Kansas City-based com-
pany also said in its filing with
the Securities and Exchange
Commission that it was restat-
ing third quarter 2003 numbers
to reflect changes in how it
accounted for several income
and foreign tax issues and leas-
es. For the quarter, the company
decreased net earnings from
$11.7 million to $5.2 million.
Marquee Holdings Inc.
bought AMC for $2 billion. The
sale was made final on Dec. 23.
For the 13 weeks ending Dec.
30, AMC reported a net loss of
$59.2 million. The company
said it spent $52 million in
merger and acquisition expens-
es, compared with the almost $5
million it spent in the year-ago
period in a fruitless bid for
Loews Cineplex.
Revenues declined from
$471.6 million during the third
quarter last year to $448.9 mil-
lion. The company said there
was no blockbuster this year, as
opposed to 2003s The Lord of
the Rings: The Return of the
King, and the quarter this year
didnt include the New Years
Day holiday.
While the Marquee sale was
completed a week before the end
of the quarter, the company
reported financial numbers as if
Marquee had been in control
since the beginning of the quarter.
AMC operates 231 theaters
with 3,560 screens in the United
States, Canada, France, Hong
Kong, Japan, Portugal, Spain
and the United Kingdom.
Marquee is controlled by
affiliates of J.P. Morgan
Partners LLC and Apollo
Management LP.

President faces faculty
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.
Harvard President Lawrence
Summers faced another round
of tough questions from dis-
gruntled faculty yesterday, but
avoided a no-confidence vote in
a meeting participants described
as collegial.
I think everyone has calmed
down, said Ruth Wisse, a liter-
ature professor who has sup-
ported Summers, as she
emerged from the two-hour
meeting of about 500 Faculty of
Arts and Sciences members on
the Harvard campus.
Faculty rejected a proposal
that a three-person committee
of administrators and faculty
mediate between Summers
and university professors,
according to attendees and an
online account by the Harvard
Crimson, the only media outlet
allowed at the meeting.
Summers management style
and recent controversial remarks
about women in science sparked
opposition at a faculty meeting
last week that Summers
described as searing.
This time, in his opening
remarks, which were released by
the university, Summers said he
was committed to opening a new
chapter in my work with you.

differential fees even though he
helps pay for his tuition. He said
the extra money would be worth
it if it meant he received a great
education from the University
that would help him get a job.
The differential tuition would
also be a way for students now
to take responsibility for future
generations of students,
Baysinger said.
I think it will better the
University in the long run, he
said. Were just not here for us,
were here for future students.
Brian Cerney, Chicago fresh-
man, who is thinking about
business or journalism as a
major, said he was not happy
about having to pay a fee for
CLAS and a fee for the profes-
sional school he chooses.
I dont like it at all, everyone
should have to pay the same
amount, Cerney said. I
shouldnt have to pay more just
because its my major.
Thats ridiculous, he said.
Pottruck, who is a pre-educa-
tion major, said she doesnt have
a problem paying the differential
tuition fee because the
University is growing and needs
more buildings. The fee seems
logical, she said.
She does, however, disagree
with paying two differential fees.
It is unfair to have to pay two
differential tuitions, but every-
one will have to, she said.
There will be one more infor-
mational meeting for students at
5 p.m. tomorrow at 3139 Wescoe
Hall.

I was lucky because flying
and engineering just came
together, Shane said.
Shane originally was a chemi-
cal engineering major but his
former professor Jan Roskam
convinced him to consider a
career in aerospace.
Shanes career as a test pilot is
just another aspect of his excep-
tional ability, Roskam, a retired
aerospace engineering professor,
said.
You have to be a damn good
pilot and have a lot of guts. He
has both, he said of Shane.
Shortly after graduation
Shane began test piloting for
Scaled Composites, an aero-
space development company
located in Mojave, Calif.
Shane did not fly the commer-
cial spacecraft himself, but was a
test pilot for the White Knight.
White Knights job is to carry
the craft to an altitude where it
can continue its ascent to space.
It was Shanes job to manage
the project during its final run as

For its accomplishment,
SpaceShipOne was given the
$10 million Ansari X-Prize.
A private company called the
X-Prize Foundation awarded the
prize to the first commercially-
built ship to reach space, said
Chaun-Tau Lan, professor of
aerospace engineering and
Shanes former professor.
His companys success at pri-
vate space flight means a lot to
the aerospace industry, Shane
said.
Such an accomplishment
could lead to more people hav-
ing the opportunity to travel out-
side the earths atmosphere, he
said.
We cant look to the govern-
ment to make it affordable, we
have to look to commercial,
thats how its always been,
Shane said.
Lan doesnt know how his
former students work will affect
the aerospace industry, but he
said it was a step in the right
direction.
It will be up to the next gen-
eration of aerospace engineers to
determine where this leads, Lan
said.
The expo, which will feature
various scientific activities and
events, is scheduled from 9 a.m.
to 3 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to
noon Saturday.

The history of Allen
Fieldhouse is amazing, but what
one might not realize that histo-
ry is still in the making today.
We have Wayne Simien,
Aaron Miles, Mike Lee and
Keith Langford right now
all seniors leading one of the
best basketball teams in the
country.
They are making great strides
within the Kansas basketball
program by keeping traditions,
excellence and victories in the
fieldhouse.
Even though there have been
physical renovations to the
fieldhouse in the last 50 years,
including changes to the court,
locker rooms and scoreboard,
the statue of Phog Allen outside
of the fieldhouse and the retired
jerseys hanging from the rafters
inside are reminders of Kansas
basketball roots.
As the March 2 game against
Kansas State approaches, 50
years and one day after the first
game at Allen Fieldhouse
against the Wildcats, we pre-
pare to celebrate the birthday
of the fieldhouse.
When 50 Years of the Phog
comes out next week, we
should not only celebrate 50
years of history and tradition
in the Phog, but we should
take pride in being Jayhawks
and being connected to one of
the best programs in the histo-
ry of college basketball.

Bush, leaders differ on China ban
BRUSSELS, Belgium
President Bush and European
leaders settled simmering differ-
ences about Iraq but plunged
into a troublesome new dispute
yesterday over the lifting of an
arms embargo against China.
Bush warned Congress might
retaliate if Europe revokes the
15-year ban.
Bush said lifting the embargo,
imposed after the bloody 1989
Tiananmen Square crackdown
on pro-democracy activists,
would change the balance of
relations between China and
Taiwan and thats of concern.
But French President Jacques
Chirac and German Chancellor
Gerhard Schroeder said the ban
should go. It will happen,
Schroeder said.
The China quarrel was a jarring
note on an otherwise upbeat day
of reconciliation, handshakes and
hopes for better relations.
First time Ive been called
charming in a while, Bush said
after a NATO summit. It fit the
tone of the moment, but in truth
a reporter had asked how his
major charm offensive in
Europe might win over some of
the people who dont like him.
Bush also held a summit with
leaders of the 25-nation
European Union. Europe and
America have reconnected, EU
Commission President Jose
Manuel Barroso told a news
conference with Bush.
In a show of unity after bitter
disputes, all 26 countries in
NATO pledged money, equip-
ment or personnel to train Iraqi
security forces, though many of
the pledges were modest.
Estonia said it would send
one staff officer to Iraq, and
$65,000. France offered one
officer to help mission coordi-
nation at NATO headquarters,
and said it would train 1,500
Iraqi military police in Qatar
outside NATOs mission.
The NATO training mission
is an important mission,
because after all, the success of
Iraq depends upon the capacity
and the willingness of the Iraqis
to defend their own selves
against terrorists, Bush said.
Every contribution matters.
The European Union and the
United States, meanwhile,
agreed to jointly host a confer-
ence to rally and coordinate
international aid to Iraq.
Consulting with his harshest
critics on Iraq, Bush met with
Chirac over dinner Monday
night, will travel to Germany on
today to visit with Schroeder and
meets Russian President Vladimir
Putin on tomorrow in Slovakia.
Chirac said Americas attitude is
becoming more realistic ... It is
progress.
Bushs broad unpopularity in
Europe because of the U.S.-led
invasion was evident in the pro-
tests on the streets of Brussels.
Police targeted demonstrators
with water cannons yesterday,
after protesters, which numbered
in the hundreds, threw a fire
bomb and glass bottles at them
near the European Union head-
quarters.
Many Europeans also are
nervous about a possible U.S.
strike against Iran to stop its
suspected nuclear weapons pro-
gram, and Bush gave mixed sig-
nals about American intentions.
This notion that the United
States is getting ready to attack
Iran is simply ridiculous, the
president said with a slight
smile. Having said that, all
options are on the table. He
made a similar statement last
week, saying a president never
says never about military action.
Europe is trying to persuade
Iran to abandon its uranium
enrichment program in return for
technological, financial and polit-
ical support. The United States,
reluctant to reward Iran, has
refused to get involved in the bar-
gaining and has suggested asking
the United Nations Security
Council to impose sanctions.
Its in our interests for them
not to have a nuclear weapon,
Bush said.
Schroeder said he urged Bush
to fully back Europes diplo-
matic approach toward Iran.
We have to go down the
road of negotiations together,
the chancellor told reporters.
Bush also signaled his unhap-
piness with Putins retreat from
democracy.
Its very important for
President Putin to make very
clear why hes made some of the
decisions hes made, and as well
as respect his neighbors, Bush
said. Im confident that can be
done in a cordial way.
Putin, speaking in Moscow,
defended his approach.
Russia chose democracy 14
years ago not to please anyone,
but for its own sake, for the sake
of the nation and its citizens,
Putin said. Naturally, basic
principles and institutions of
democracy must be adapted to
todays realities of Russian life,
to our traditions and history.
Before Bushs trip, Congress
sent a clear warning to Europe
about lifting the arms embargo
on China. In a resounding 411-
13 vote, the House said revoking
the ban would endanger both
Taiwan and U.S. troops sta-
tioned in Asia and would harm
U.S. relations with Europe.
Hinting at trade retaliation,
the House resolution noted that
the United States and Europe
cooperate on the governmental
and industrial level. It said lift-
ing the embargo would neces-
sitate limitations and con-
straints in these relationships
that would be unwelcome on
both sides of the Atlantic.
Bush said he understands that
the Europeans are working on a
way to address U.S. worries about
allowing China to modernize its
military with arms and communi-
cations, intelligence and surveil-
lance equipment that would give
Beijing an edge over Taiwan.
They know the Congress is
concerned, Bush said. And so
theyll try to develop a plan that
will ease concerns. Now, whether
they can or not, well see.
Chirac said security guaran-
tees could be worked out.
In Beijing, Chinese Foreign
Ministry spokesman Kong
Quan said that abolishing the
erroneous and outdated meas-
ure would help move forward
China-EU relations.

Im filling out a resum and I just spelled intelligent
wrong.

Remember when the basketball team used to make

shots, make passes, play defense, get rebounds?

After the first half of the KU-OU game, Ive made up my

mind. Im transferring to a good basketball school.

Professional bowling on ESPN2 or

the KU game? I think Ill watch
bowling.

Fairweather fans need not apply.

Dude, its not Bill Selfs fault!

Start the campaign: bring back Roy!

If Aaron Miles would shave his chin

and bring back the sweatband, we
may be able to win again.

Theres a new drinking game at KU: Every time Giddens

misses, you take a shot.

Go ahead and talk crap, but yes, I am going to wear OU

colors on campus tomorrow.

SACKS PERSPECTIVE
I hate labels. Labels force diverse people into
large groups that dont accurately describe their
memberships. That said, on the American political
spectrum I would consider myself quite liberal.
According to many loud-mouthed pundits in
this country, these beliefs make me a whiny, bit-
ter Communist filled with apathy for sinners.
When did caring about my fellow humans make
me any of those things?
These ideas stem from an alarming trend Ive
noticed lately. This problem is not limited to
Washington or cable news it has recently extend-
ed its reach to our campus. This trend is simple
it involves hating everyone. Well, maybe not every-
one but certainly those different from ourselves. Im
not audacious enough to believe that this trend is
limited to one side of the political spectrum.
The most recent example of this hate and degra-
dation on campus has revolved around the soon-
to-come appearance of Ann Coulter, best-selling
author and conservative political commentator.
Following the announcement, campus was secu-
larized into those who couldnt wait to see her and
those who couldnt believe she was coming.
The conflict between these sides climaxed
recently when I opened The University Daily
Kansan to the opinion page and read one of the
more libelous pieces of propaganda Ive ever seen.
Im referring to Andrew Frays column on Monday,
Liberals fear Coulters appearance on campus. A
better headline for this article would have been, I
hate liberals, and Im proud of it. Fray states that he
has become increasingly numb to the incessant
whining from campus liberals who dare to ques-
tion Coulter and are acutely unaware of how their
actions and words affect the United States.
The last time I checked, our Constitution
encouraged political dissent. Frays comments fit
into the current political attitudes of many
Americans right now. Pundits on both sides of the
line have used outrageous ways to discredit the
other side instead of civilly questioning the actions
or statements of those with whom they disagree.
Ann Coulter, Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh,
among others, are guilty of this.
Other Americans, like Fray, are starting to throw
in their two cents as well. I recently stumbled upon
a group on Thefacebook.com called Liberals
Suck. Not a good start. The group claims, and I am
quoting directly, While the liberals were out get-
ting PHDs in English and sociology, protesting
stuipid [sic] things, etc, the Alpha Males (conser-
vatives) were out banging chicks, marrying into
money, buying real estate, and starting business
[sic], basically doing what real men do.
In what way does hateful rhetoric help the
United States? The answer is simple it doesnt.
Perhaps writing things like this boasts these indi-
viduals egos, or maybe Americans really are just
filled with hate.
I think that the answer is not nearly so simple.
The United States is a bipartite society. Citizens
believe that you are right or wrong, left or right, and
there is no in between. Our president has reinforced
this mindset by telling the world that you are with
us or against us.
When did life become so simple? Ive never
faced a problem in my life that had two easily dis-
cernable solutions. Why do we let finite dualities
serve as our only model for political discourse?
The average person is smart enough to not fall
into this trap. But those who buy into this philos-
ophy tend to have the loudest voice. Dont think
thats the right direction for our country to head
in? Dont agree with me that the hateful voices will
continue to be loudest? Please, prove me wrong.

The No Child Left Behind Act has sparked
debate about its effectiveness ever since
President George W. Bush signed it on Jan. 8,
2002.
The plan is a noble effort by the U.S. gov-
ernment to make sure that every child
receives an equal and valuable public educa-
tion and to hold states accountable for the
quality of their schools. But, in practice, the
plan is neither a step forward nor a step back,
but a sidestep at best.
The plan uses stan-
dardized testing to gath-
er information on the
equality and progress of
each school. The prob-
lem with standardized
testing is that schools
are sometimes unneces-
sarily penalized for
unavoidable factors that
obscure their results.
For instance, mental-
ly handicapped chil-
dren are unable to per-
form at their grade
level as determined by
their age, but they are
required to take the
same test as every other child their age.
Because of this, test scores come in lower
than expected for the No Child Left Behind
standard, and these schools are threatened.
The schools are required to improve an ade-
quate amount each year, according to the No
Child Left Behind Web site, www.ed.gov. If
they do not, funding will be revoked.
This plan seems unfair because if students
are doing poorly on standardized tests, it
doesnt necessarily mean that they are not
learning. Some teachers refuse to teach for
the test and opt to teach children other
equally, if not more, valuable information.
Allowing teachers to have their own flare
is important in the personal relationship that
develops between them and their students.
This relationship makes it easier to teach and
to learn.
The other factor to consider is that taking
away funding will never improve the situation
for children. Taking away funding will
decrease programs to keep kids off the streets
after school, the quality of facilities at the
school and the teachers salaries.
Teachers who have tolerated the frustration
of teaching the test may quit because they
cannot afford to live on their salaries, forcing
them to leave their noble profession. Public
schools are a good investment in the future of
our country, and why not pay our educators
what they deserve for having one of the most
influential jobs in the
United States?
Funding is necessary
to keep schools up, and
if they are doing poorly,
they should receive
more funding, but in a
controlled manor. That
way schools are not
tempted to perform
worse to get funding, in
order to help improve
their programs.
Closing a bad
school will only create
more problems.
Students will be
forced to leave the
comfortable environ-
ment they know. They would have to be
bused to schools farther away from home in
a new and unfamiliar environment. This will
make it harder to learn, and schools will be
overcrowded, thus increasing the problem.
Instead of, or in addition to standardized
testing, perhaps the No Child Left Behind plan
should consider school visits, where represen-
tatives from each state can understand the
dynamics of each school to better understand
test performance and quality of education.
Another solution would be to attract better
educators with a higher salary along with
stricter education policies, such as requiring
higher standards for receiving teaching cer-
tificates.
With a few changes to No Child Left
Behind, the program could have promise to
create a truly great public schools system in
the United States.

As the saying goes: If you cant beat em, try to
make em look bad.
A liberal research institute, Center for American
Progress and its college-oriented spin-off, Campus
Progress, debuted a monstrous advertisement last
week in 30 college newspapers, including The
University Daily Kansan, aimed at showing stu-
dents the radical views of leading conservative
icons. The ad featured extreme statements taken
out of context from conservative talking heads and
implied that these views represented conservatives
in Washington, though none of the people featured
were politicians and none are based in Washington.
The ads point seems to be to paint the conserva-
tive movement as one characterized by extremism.
I suppose thats an effective strategy, but it certainly
isnt honest. Just as easily, one could take extreme
statements from liberals and publicize them in an
attempt to make liberals look extreme and hateful.
For instance, Howard Dean has said made some
interesting comments. In the wake of the
Democratic whipping of 04, the Democratic
National Committee named him the new chairman
of the Democratic Party. For a man defined by an
emotional outburst and a complete political collapse
during the primary season, thats a big role.
To send the message that he is a divider, not a
uniter, Dean said on Jan. 29 in Manhattan, N.Y., I
hate Republicans and everything they stand for.
Those are strong words from a chairman whos party
desperately needs some Republican voters to switch
sides. CNNs exit polls reported 37 percent of all vot-
ers in 2004 identified with the Republican Party, so
Dean hates just over a third of all Americans. Not
only that, but unlike Ann Coulter, Bill OReilly or
James Dobson, Dean actually is a politician. Im glad
my party isnt lead by a hateful screamer.
Michael Moore is another great source for anger
and hatefulness from the left. In 2002, Moore told
a reporter for the Arcata Eye in Arcata, Calif.,
F- all these small businesses f- em all!
Bring in the chains. The small businesspeople are
the rednecks that run the town and suppress the
people. F- em all. Thats how I feel. So much
for being a champion of the blue-collar worker.
Then, in 2003, Moore sent a letter to a German
newspaper and told everyone what he really
thought of America: Should such an ignorant
people lead the world? How did it come to this in
the first place? Eighty-two percent of us dont
even have a passport! Just a handful can speak a
language other than English. Presumably, if you
dont have a passport, youre ignorant too. Maybe
more of us would have passports if we had the
kind of money Moore wields.
Then theres Ward Churchill, a professor of eth-
nic studies at the University of Colorado.
Churchills anti-American fervor makes Moore look
like the Statue of Liberty. In his essay Some People
Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens
Churchill said that the United States deserved 9/11
and that the perpetrators were right to kill thou-
sands of Americans. He even went so far as to say,
In sum one can discern a certain optimism it
might even be call humanitarianism embedded
in the thinking of those who presided over the...
actions conducted on Sept. 11.
I could say that Churchills statements and the
statements of Dean and Moore, represent
American liberalism or liberals in Washington.
But that would be cheap and dishonest. Those
statements represent extremism and hatefulness.
Center for American Progress attempt to recruit
voters by exploiting extremism and playing with
the politics of fear is nothing more than a des-
perate attempt to scare students into becoming lib-
erals. I hope were not so gullible.
Myers is an Olathe freshman in political science.
Three years after Bush signed
the No Child Left Behind Act
into law, the program has
proven to be less effective as
originally intended. Though it
has potential, addressing prob-
lems in the system will be the
only way to improve the public
schools.
GOOD INTENTIONS A RIGHT TURN
KULTURE
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2005 12A
N
o matter who you are, where you are from or where
you may be going, if you are a part of the University
of Kansas, you are connected to one of the most elite
basketball programs in the country. You are a part of one of
the most tradition-rich, passionate and spirited fan bases of
any university.
Perhaps the craze started with the legendary Phog Allen,
coach of the Kansas Jayhawks for 39 seasons and also the
most dominating coach in college-basketball history. In his
39 seasons, Allen won 590 games and led Kansas to the
National Championship in 1952.
Allen Fieldhouse, named after Forrest Phog Allen, is
the home of the Jayhawks, and a time capsule of the tradi-
tions and successes of the Kansas basketball program. The
building, a landmark on campus, is located on Naismith
Drive. The streets name is attributed to James Naismith, the
inventor of basketball who was also a University graduate
student and the first basketball coach at the University in
1898.
This year, Allen Fieldhouse turns 50 years old. The history,
atmosphere and traditions of the fieldhouse are just some of
the reasons why the aging building is arguably the greatest
place to watch a college basketball game. People come hun-
dreds of miles to simply step inside the doors of the field-
house to experience the aura of the Phog.
The venue is one of the most challenging places for oppos-
ing teams to visit. The Missouri Tigers and Kansas State
Wildcats would probably agree. Kansas is a basketball pow-
erhouse, especially when its playing at home with fans
behind it.
More than 50 years ago, before the idea of the fieldhouse
was even conceived, Jayhawk basketball was played in Hoch
Auditorium, or present-day Budig Hall. In 1955, the walls of
the fieldhouse went up, consisting of 650,000 bricks and a
seating capacity of 16,300. The first game to be played in the
fieldhouse was on March 1, 1955 when the Jayhawks defeat-
ed the Kansas State Wildcats 77-66.
Allen Fieldhouse is most closely associated with basket-
ball. In its earlier days, the fieldhouse was home to track,
football, volleyball and even softball. Numerous famous
faces like that of Robert Kennedy have spoken in the Phog
as well.
Aside from the history of the actual building, the basketball
history of the fieldhouse rises above the rest. Kansas is the
alma mater of basketball legends including Wilt Chamberlain,
Danny Manning and Lynette Woodard. Then there are the
more recent superstars like Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich,
both 2003 graduates. The Kansas basketball program has
been the home of winning coaches like James Naismith, Phog
Allen, Ted Owens, Larry Brown and do we dare mention Roy
Williams?
Kansas mens basketball has seen seven NCAA
Championship games since 1939, and has brought home the
National Championship twice, once in 1952, and the most
memorable in 1988 when Danny Manning was a member of
the team.
Behind the talent of all Kansas basketball teams is a devot-
ed and passionate group of fans and supporters. Hundreds of
students camp days, and sometimes weeks before a game in
hopes of getting a good seat to cheer the Jayhawks to victory.
Until the 1990s, camping for a basketball game had a differ-
ent meaning. Students would pitch tents and air mattresses
and literally camp out all night and day on the front lawn of
the fieldhouse in order to watch the Jayhawks rock their
opponents.
With thousands of enthusiastic fans roaring in the field-
house, home losses are rare. In fact, in 1998 when Kansas
Basketball turned 100 years old, the Jayhawks rallied to win
62 consecutive games at the fieldhouse. So what makes
watching a game in Allen Fieldhouse so special? Most stu-
dents and fans would tell you that the traditions that go on in
the fieldhouse during games are rituals that no one but a
Jayhawk fan could ever understand.
Maybe what makes the experience so exhilarating is the
deafening noise elicited by a full house. It could be singing
the alma mater before a game or the newspaper confetti that
covers every student in attendance after the team introduc-
tions. It could be the Rock Chalk Chant or waving the wheat.
Maybe the atmosphere of a KU basketball game comes from
the sign hanging from the rafters that reads:
Pay Heed, All Who Enter: BEWARE OF THE PHOG.
Once you are connected to Kansas basketball, youre a
Jayhawk forever, whether youre a fan, coach or player.
Perhaps the sense of family at the fieldhouse is what brought
both Danny Manning and Lynette Woodard back to the
University after their collegiate basketball careers as
Jayhawks. Woodard became a part of the womens coaching
staff in 1999, and then served as womens interim coach in
2004. Manning is now the Director of Basketball Operations,
and has been a part of the mens coaching staff since current
coach Bill Self arrived in Allen Fieldhouse.

What is the best Allen
Fieldhouse tradition?
Phog Allens son,
Milton Allen,
shoots the ball
in a mid-1930s
basketball game.
The reason Kansas lost at
Oklahoma on Monday was clear to
sophomore guard J.R. Giddens.
We didnt come out and play as
hard as we could, we didnt have any
of this, Giddens said while pointing
to his chest. No heart. Thats why
we lost.
The Jayhawks fell behind by as
many as 19 points in the first half
and appeared to be completely out-
manned by the Sooners.
The teams poor start was surpris-
ing, considering it was coming off
back-to-back losses and needed to
win the game to stay atop the Big 12
Conference standings.
We knew they were going to be
at home and come out with a lot of
intensity, Giddens said. We didnt
match that intensity.
The loss is especially painful for
Giddens because he is from
Oklahoma City, Okla. A break-out
game, in front of family and close
friends, could have done wonders
for his confidence following his
failed attempts at three-pointers in
games against Texas Tech and Iowa
State.
Though Giddens had an
improved game, scoring nine points
that included a clutch three-pointer
to pull Kansas within one point in
the second half, Kansas was never
able to get over the hump.
Giddens said erasing a double-
digit lead showed some heart, and
the team showed toughness in victo-
ries against Georgia Tech and
Kentucky earlier this year. He said
the Jayhawks would recapture that
kind of effort in upcoming games.
In fact, he guaranteed it.
I think were a tough team, were
just going through some things right
now, he said. Were not done. The
Jayhawks arent done. You can
quote J.R. Giddens right there.
Kansas players and coaches
agreed with Giddens. All indicated
that there was time to bounce back.
The Jayhawks have not given
maximum effort in several games
this year, nearly every game has gone
down to the wire.
In home games against Nebraska
and Texas A&M, Kansas squeaked
by with narrow victories, and there
seemed to be no reason to panic.
Now that the Jayhawks have lost
three straight close games, maybe
they will follow Giddens advice and
show the heart needed to get back
on track.
Weve been in this position
before, senior guard Keith Langford
said. This team has always respond-
ed to adversity well, and this time
were going to have to respond to it
again. Luckily there are other games
to play and well just have to focus
on where we need to be.
Kansas coach Bill Self agreed,
and said even though Kansas was
playing its worst basketball of the
year, there was more than enough
time to improve.
I think were a ways off, Self
said. Weve had some bad games
and some bad halves, but we nor-
mally bounce back and play pretty
well the next game. This is the worst
48-hour period weve had. We can
get it back, but we need to get on the
practice floor a lot before Sunday.

Ladies night
Playing a home game against
a top-10 team that sits atop the
Big 12 Conference should make
tonights game with No. 6
Baylor the most memorable of
the season.
For at least two other
Jayhawks, though, the show-
down will represent something
much more significant.
To seniors Aquanita Burras
and Blair Waltz, tonight will
embody the grandest of finales:
Senior Night.
Baylor enters the game with
a 21-3 record and an 11-2 mark
in the Big 12.
As the conferences top
team comes to Lawrence,
emotions will run high for
Burras and Waltz, who will
play the final game of their
college careers at 7 tonight in
Allen Fieldhouse.
Although the attempt might
prove to be impossible, Burras
said she would try to put aside
the sentimental aspect and
focus on the business at hand.
Even though its senior
night, I cant get my emotions
up high and get too pumped
up, Burras said.
Following her freshman
year at Central Arizona
Community College during the
2001-02 season, Burras trans-
ferred to Kansas for her
remaining three years of eligi-
bility and has found a home in
the Jayhawk starting lineup.
She has been a mainstay since
her arrival, and tonights
match-up will be her 82nd
consecutive start.
During her tenure as a
Jayhawk, the 5-foot-9 guard
from Colorado Springs, Colo.,
has acquired a reputation for
hard work and unrivaled defen-
sive pressure.
Kansas coach Bonnie
Henrickson said Burras made
an immediate name for herself
during the early stages of the
season.
Shes been a defensive
leader since we got here,
Henrickson said. I told her the
first week of practice that she
might be the best on-ball
defender Ive ever coached.
Burras leads the team in
steals and sets the defensive
tone on a team that has held
every Big 12 opponent under its
scoring average.
Henrickson credits both
Burras and Waltz with showing
the type of leadership expected
from seasoned seniors, espe-
cially during a transitional peri-
od in the program.
They might have different
roles, but both have important
roles, Henrickson said.
Both, from day one, have
bought in and have tried to say
the right thing and do the right
thing in the face of all of this
change.
Although Burras has faced
only the prospect of adapting to
a new system, Waltz has found
herself in an entirely different
scenario than her previous
three years.
In her first three seasons as a
Jayhawk, the guard/forward
averaged 17 starts a season.
This season she has started only
two games.
How she has handled it
speaks volumes to how shell
handle adversity the rest of her
life, Henrickson said.
Waltz is the only four-year
senior on Kansas roster, but
has not received a great
degree of media attention
because of her diminished
playing role on this years
squad. Still, Henrickson
heaps praise on the work
ethic of the 6-foot Leawood
native.
Blair isnt in the stories a lot
in terms of minutes, but that kid
comes right every day to work
hard, Henrickson said. You
cant discount or under-appre-
ciate a lady like that.
Bouncing off a 67-53 victory
against Nebraska, the Kansas
seniors will try to fuse their
emotion with budding confi-
dence to pull off the upset.
Standing in their way are the
Baylor Bears, who have won
eight straight games.
Even though Henricksons
team, 12-12 (5-8 Big 12), may
seem vastly over-matched on
paper, the coach said she knew
that anything could happen
with this team and at home.
Were foolish enough to
think weve got a chance every
single night, Henrickson said.
Certainly to have the oppo-
nent to play at home will be a
great opportunity for us.

Seniors prepare for final home game
For Kansas,
schedule
helps seed
Despite the mens basketball team losing three
in a row, there are two reasons to keep the faith:
It is not March, and the Jayhawks have played a
tough strength of schedule.
After getting flak from the national media for a
soft nonconference schedule and falling in the
polls for winning games that were too close, the
teams the Jayhawks faced are making noise.
Vermont, St. Josephs, Nevada, Pacific,
Louisiana-Lafayette, Wisconsin-Milwaukee and
Kentucky are leading in their conferences and are
on pace for automatic NCAA Tournament bids.
South Carolina, Georgia Tech and Villanova are
on the bubble, and will make it to the tournament
if they have strong finishes. TCU, with a 16-10
record, is a likely participant in the NIT.
The Jayhawks nonconference schedule is a big
reason they top the RPI and strength of schedule
rankings, according to
http://www.kenpom.com, an RPI site updated
daily. To rank teams, RPI, the Ratings Per Index
ranking system, takes one-fourth winning per-
centage, plus one-half strength of schedule, plus
one-fourth opponents strength of schedule. In
the formula, strength of schedule is the average
winning percentage of opponents. New this sea-
son, the RPI factors in the location of games.
Road victories and home losses count as 1.4,
while home games won and road losses count as
.6. Last year, every game counted as 1. The
NCAA Tournament committee takes a good look
at RPI before making its selections.
Coach Bill Self said he expected Kansas non-
conference schedule to boost its seeding on selec-
tion Sunday.
If you are ranked number one in the RPI, you
should get a pretty good seeding in the tourna-
ment, he said.

Shop lets students make repairs
Editors note: This is a regular
series that profiles recreational
activities in which students take
part. If you hunt, fish, climb rocks,
go canoeing or are an expert spe-
lunker, The University Daily Kansan
would like to share your story and
perhaps take part. Please contact
Caleb Regan by calling the Kansan
sports desk at 864-4858 or by e-
mailing him at
cregan@kansan.com.
Anyone at the University of
Kansas who pursues mountain bik-
ing as a hobby, and especially those
who ride at Clinton Lake, will tell
you that biking on the trails around
Lawrence causes serious wear and
tear to any bike.
To help serious bikers, the
Outdoor Pursuits program at the
Student Recreation Fitness Center
now offers a self-service bike shop
downstairs in the outdoor rental
division.
Every spring and fall, hundreds of
students head out to trails with
mountain bikes of every quality to
enjoy the trails at Clinton Lake or
along the Wakarusa River. But
before and during every season,
those same students spend mainte-
nance money that they can save if
they know how to perform repairs
on their own.
The recreation center opened up
its self-service bike repair shop this
fall. The center equips all students
who have a valid KUID with more
than $2,000 in tools, vices and other
equipment needed to repair any bike.
There is a truing stand (used to
mount wheels to check the align-
ment and balance of a wheel), a vice
for inverting a bike to work on it and
all combinations of wrenches and
other tools one might use to perform
common repairs.
Whether its a street model 10-speed
or an advanced model made to endure
the wear and tear caused by logs,
ramps, rocks or braking while rolling
downhill at break-neck speed, the
repair shop offers bikers the opportu-
nity to make repairs for free.
One catch is the shop offers no
consultation. Students are provided
with all the equipment, but the rest
is up to the owner of the bike. Bike
parts must be bought and brought in
to the shop.

Team misses Moody
Back in December, when
Kansas coach Bill Self
announced Christian Moody
would start for the Jayhawks,
most fans were confused.
Now, without Moody in the
lineup, it seems like the rest of
the Kansas team is confused.
In Moodys absence, Kansas
has been unable to pass the ball
to All American candidate
Wayne Simien.
When your best player isnt
given the opportunity to do the
things that a best player should
do, I think we have to look at
what we are doing because that is
inexcusable in my eyes, Self said.
Moody, junior forward, has a
staph infection in his left knee,
which has caused him to miss
the Jayhawks last two games.
Moody has been exposed as a
major contributor through his
two-game absence.
He may not average a double-
double every game or be able to
hold an opposing teams best
player to a season low, but after
two straight games without
Moody, his absence is obvious
to teammates.
Its not the reason we lost,
but it definitely made a differ-
ence, senior guard Aaron Miles
said. I think Christian brings
experience.
Moody understands his role
in the team and when he is in
the game the Jayhawks offense
flows smoother.
The most valuable element of
Moodys game is his interior pass-
ing. Whether its Moody or fresh-
men C.J. Giles, Darnell Jackson
or Sasha Kaun playing in the low
post, part of the job is getting the
ball to senior forward Simien.
During Moodys two-game
absence, Simien has taken just
20 shots. He was averaging more
than 13 shots per game but took
just seven during Saturdays loss
to Iowa State.
Simien said he is confident in
senior guards Miles and Keith
Langford to get him the ball.
I know they dont have any-
thing against me, he said.
The problem may not be with
the guards. Without Moody
there is a decline in the number
of shot opportunities for Simien.
I dont know why some of
the things are happening the
way they are, Moody said. We
definitely need to do a better job
of getting the ball to Wayne.
During the first half on
Mondays game, Self used Giles,
Jackson and Kaun to fill the
majority of Moodys minutes.
But in the second half, he
played freshman forward Alex
Galindo for 19 minutes.
Using the smaller lineup, the
Jayhawks pulled within one
point. But still, Simien shot the
ball only seven times.
Part of that was good
Oklahoma defense, but the other
part was the inability of players to
get the ball to Simien in the post.
Self said that Moodys
absence was noticeable, espe-
cially when it came to feeding
Big Dub.
It hurts us a lot because he is
a post player who can feed the
ball to Wayne, he said.

Junior forward has been out last two games; teammates, coach notice difference
Rowers help out community
Though added practice hours
consume most of the womens row-
ing teams free time, its members still
find time to get involved with the
community. Some rowers take on
the responsibility themselves, but
other activities are done as a team.
Last fall the team was invited to
Sunflower Elementary School, 2521
Inverness Drive. The third- and
fourth-grade students were studying
the Olympics, and Martha Wenzel, a
teacher at Sunflower, thought it
would be nice to have athletes from
one of the sports that compete in the
Olympics to come out and talk to
the children.
I think it was a good idea
because it got them thinking about
other sports that are in the
Olympics, senior rower Erin
Hennessey said. Most of them were
not familiar with rowing.
The team set up four different sta-
tions in which children could parti-
cipate. One of the stations included
the rowing video from last season,
which is sometimes used for recruit-
ment. After the showing the children
could ask questions about what they
saw, Hennessey said.
They would recognize our faces
on the video and then want to ask
questions during it, she said. They
were just so eager to learn.
Another station got the children
more involved by making them do
training and calisthenics, while a
third area allowed them to practice
rowing techniques. The final station
defined all of the rowing terminolo-
gy.
The stations were a good idea
because it showed how much moti-
vation and dedication we have, jun-
ior rower Jennifer Ebel said.
Another activity at Sunflower
takes place every other Wednesday
for Ebel. She has been a Girl Scout
leader for the past two years in
Lawrence.
Coming out here, I just missed
being around kids, Ebel said.
She participated in Girl Scouts for
seven years and thought this would
be a good opportunity for her to get
involved. Every other week she
attends an hour-long meeting where
participants organize activities for
the troop. For her next project she
will help organize a tea party for the
children.
Its been a blast, Ebel said. I
like getting to know the girls and just
hearing about their day.
Senior coxswain LeAnna Kemp
works with a younger crowd as well,
but at the high-school level. She is a
part of Young Life, a nondenomina-
tional ministry at Lawrence Free
State High School, 4700 Overland
Drive. The group meets once a week
on Monday nights to sing songs,
play games and listen to a message.
The group is mostly led by college
students.
I wanted to lead in college, she
said about enjoying her experience
at Park Hill South High School. It
had a huge affect on my life, and I
hope to have someone else experi-
ence the same effect.
She said while helping high
school students she realized her life
affected them.
It has really made me conscious
of my actions, Kemp said. It has
taught me a lot of responsibility. Im
hanging around 16- and 17- year-old
kids, and I have to be careful of what
I do. You have to remember that
youre a leader to them.
Kemp and Ebel say they have real-
ized that a lot of time goes into these
leadership positions, especially with
rowing.
You definitely have to plan for
it, Ebel said. You have to be organ-
ized. But all of this is definitely
worth it.
Most of the rowers community
service takes place in the fall when
the team is less busy. During the past
semester the girls took turns making
breakfast at 6 a.m. every Tuesday at
Jubilee Cafe in First United
Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St.
The team would sign up five mem-
bers each time. Hennessey said all
members participated at least once.
But with weight training in the
mornings its difficult to be as
involved.
Besides Jubilee Cafe, the team
always participates in Adopt A
Family in December. The team usu-
ally collects money as a group and
then a few girls shop for the family,
but this time it was different.
The seniors put together a
spaghetti feed and invited the whole
team, coaches, family and friends to
come. The event raised more than
$500, which all went toward Adopt
A Family.
The team hopes to do something
similar to that every year, Hennessey
said.
The rowers also hope to keep up
their involvement in the community
even when theyre in season.
We want to do as much commu-
nity service as possible, sophomore
rower Jelayna Da Silva said.

Even though eight of
Kansas nonconference games
were in Lawrence, with anoth-
er in Kemper Arena, the game
against Kentucky proved that
Kansas could win away from
home. Kansas triumph in
Lexington, Ky., ranks among
the best road victories by any
team this season. Even if you
compare it to the rest of the
country, no one but Iowa
State and Maryland can match
it.
The Jayhawks four losses
are not as flashy as Illinois
zero, but their strength of
schedule makes them more
dangerous come tournament
time.
Illinois has the 46th-ranked
strength of schedule. Gonzaga
is the only team Illinois played
that is leading its conference.
Defeating Wake Forest at
home is the Fighting Illinis
best victory. To put that in per-
spective, Florida State also
defeated Wake at home. Its a
good victory for Illinois, but
not a big deal. Their best road
victories came at overrated
Michigan State, which is 0-2
against ranked opponents,
and at Wisconsin. Breaking
the Badgers 38-game home
winning streak was impres-
sive, but Wisconsin is not
nearly as good as Kentucky.
According to Bracketology
on ESPN.com, Kansas sched-
ule contains 13 teams predicted
to make the NCAA
Tournament, and South
Carolina is one of the last four
teams out. KU opponents con-
stitute 20 percent of the field.
Illinois schedule has seven.
Bracketology is a predic-
tion of the NCAA
Tournament field by ESPN
analyst Joe Lunardi, whose
accuracy has been outstand-
ing in the past.
If you dont think strength
of schedule matters in the
NCAA Tournament, think
again. Playing good teams
early makes it easier to play
good teams later.
Eleven of the last 20 Final
Four teams had a strength of
schedule of 13 or better. Of
those 20, only Oklahoma
State made it with a strength
of schedule above 40.
Consider that St. Josephs was
the one seed in its bracket,
and its strength of schedule
was also higher than 40.
When filling out your
bracket next month, remem-
ber that the schedule does
make a difference, and the
Jayhawks have played a tough
one.

Katy Sharp, the outdoor pur-
suits program manager at the
recreation center, said that the
policy had to do with liability.
We provide all the tools and
equipment, but cant give you
any advice or help, Sharp said.
This is to prevent us from
being liable in the event of
something going wrong.
Nic Swindler, Prairie Village
senior, said the importance of
having a consultation depended
on the severity of the damage
being repaired.
Its pretty easy to get online
and look up how to repair
things when its not complicat-
ed and you know exactly what
the problem is, he said. I just
got online and found out how
to mount a wheel and check to
see if its spinning true in 15
minutes.
But Swindler said he could
see both sides of the issue.
If they offered consultation
it could turn into a full-blown
bike mechanic shop, repairing
Huffy Schwinns and other
bikes used for everyday purpos-
es, Swindler said. A lot of peo-
ple use trails and dont know
how to make bike repairs, he
said.
Swindler said that he had to
make repairs to his bike every
spring. Now some of those minor
repairs can be free of charge.
Sharp said the center was
open whenever the outdoor
rental division was open,
including Saturdays from noon
to 2 p.m. and Sundays from
6:30 to 9 p.m. To use the center,
students must take their bike
and KUID to the loading docks
in back of the recreation center
and ring the doorbell.

Basketball inductee
to be recognized
The University of Kansas has
more inductees in the
Basketball Hall of Fame than
any other Division I school, and
the most recent inductee is
making her return to Allen
Fieldhouse tomorrow night.
Lynette Woodard, the all-
time leading scorer in womens
basketball history, will be hon-
ored at halftime of tonights
basketball game against Baylor.
Woodard is the 15th Jayhawk
to be inducted to the Hall of
Fame. Other inductees include
James Naismith, Wilt
Chamberlain, Dean Smith and
Larry Brown.
Woodard, who played at
Kansas from 1978-81, joined
Clyde Drexler, Jerry Colangelo,
Bill Sharman, Maurice Stokes
and Drazen Dalipagic in the
Class of 2004. Woodard and
the others were inducted on
Sept. 10, 2004, in Springfield,
Mass.
During her career, Woodard
averaged 26 points and 12
rebounds per game. Her career
total of 3,649 points rank sec-
ond to Pete Maravichs 3,667
for the most points ever scored
by a college basketball player,
male or female.
Woodard was a four-time All
Big Eight Conference selection
and three-time MVP of the Big
Eight Tournament. Woodard
scored in double figures in 138
of her 139 games and was the
first women inducted into the
Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame.
She was the co-captain of
the 1984 womens basketball
Olympic team, which she led to
a gold medal. In 1985,
Woodard became even more
famous for becoming the first
woman to play for the Harlem
Globetrotters.
In 1999, she came back to
Kansas to work as an assistant
coach for five years, before
serving as the Jayhawks inter-
im coach for the end of last
season.

LINCOLN, Neb.
Oklahoma State coach Eddie
Sutton had no difficulty assess-
ing his fourth-ranked Cowboys
performance in a 74-67 loss to
Nebraska last night.
I told the squad this ranks as
one of the 10 worst perform-
ances of any team Ive had thats
any good, Sutton said. It was
just a bad game, and it came at a
bad time.
Not only did the loss drop the
Cowboys into a tie with No. 8
Kansas atop the Big 12 stand-
ings, it could damage their
hopes of a No. 1 seed in the
NCAA tournament. Oklahoma
State is at Kansas on Sunday.
Joe McCray scored 17 of his
22 points in the second half and
Aleks Maric added a career-high
15 to lead Nebraska to its first
win over a top five opponent
since a 98-91 victory against
No. 3 Missouri in the 1994 Big
Eight tournament.
Oklahoma State, which aver-
aged 82 points in winning its
last six games by an average of
15, was held under 70 points for
only the fourth time this season.
The Cowboys (20-4, 10-3 Big
12) sloppy effort saw them com-
mit 19 turnovers and go eight
straight possessions without
scoring to start the second half.
The Huskers (12-12, 5-8)
used a 12-0 run from a 32-32
halftime tie to break the game
open and the Cowboys never
got closer than the final margin.

Todays Birthday. An unusual assign-
ment pays well, and helps you develop
the skills that lead to the perfect career
for you. Have faith, and take control.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8.
A moment of perfect bliss is marred by
a choice you have to make. Will it be
caffeinated or decaf? Mocha or latte?
You can do this.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6.
Once you get the deal settled, youll
have more time to relax. Dont do that
before the check clears, however.
Therell be last-minute complications.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8.
While youre in the mood, learn how to
be more practical. You can fix up your
place yourself, and save a lot of money.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 6.
Its good to get yourself a treat every
once in a while, but dont spend so
much that you have to take an extra
job to pay for it. Not unless, of course,
its something you really want!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7.
Youll have to focus more attention on
work for a while. The more you do, the
more you make, and that is a good
plan.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 6.
Youll be on a neatness rampage for
the next couple of days. Be careful not
to make a bigger mess than you had
when you started.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7.
The main way to get your creative
muse to show up is to tell a joke. Your
sense of humor helps you find the
answer to a tough question.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7.
Conditions are not easy for romance,
but it does seem that you could get a
job that pays more. Is a move
required? Only go if you must.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today
is a 7. Youre about to be held
accountable for every little thing
youve said or done in the past few
weeks. Stand up for the truth, and
youre fine.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a
6. Indulge in something to help you
get more exercise while youre in your
own home. Youll get a good deal, or
maybe find it in your own attic or
garage.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a
7. A brilliant insight propels you and
your team in the right direction. You
may not have had the original idea,
but you're the one who makes it hap-
pen.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 6.
Accept the applause for a job well
done, and then learn to delegate. A
chore you find extremely tedious will
be fun for someone else.

BASEBALL
Division I newcomers battle tougher level
The Kansas baseball team has
18 newcomers to Division I
baseball this season.
Five have some junior college
experience under their belts.
The rest are last years redshirts
or true freshmen.
This may be their first season
at this level, but they seem
unfazed by the challenge.
Freshmen Ryne Price and
Erik Morrison have each earned
starting spots in the infield.
I look at it as more of an
opportunity, Morrison said. I
came in here hoping to work
hard and be able to start at a
Division I college.
Price joined the middle
infield as the Jayhawks second
baseman.
He has started all 13 games
for Kansas, hitting .239. Price
collected 13 RBI and a home
run in his early starts.
I think theyve both been
real solid so far. They are cer-
tainly two of the best high
school players in the country,
coach Ritch Price said.
Morrison fields the hot cor-
ner as the starting third base-
man. He also has 13 starts, hit-
ting a point shy of Price at .238.
At the plate, he has four extra
base hits and nine RBI.
Ive assumed my role in the
nine hole. Im trying to put the
ball in play and do whatever I can
to help the team, Morrison said.
Equally as important is that
the freshmen duo are aces with
the glove. Price has a .939 field-
ing percentage and Morrison
fields at .923.
They both have started to
break out with the bats, Price
said. The big thing for me is
that they play defense.
Junior college offers student
athletes the chance to move up
to the next level of play without
the overwhelming stress of play-
ing the Big 12.
Gus Milner transferred to
Kansas from Hutchinson
Community College during his
junior season. Milner is now a
starting outfielder.
Its definitely different. Theres
like one or two extremely good
players in juco, but here everyone
is an athlete, Milner said.
He has wasted no time mak-
ing an impact in D-I baseball. In
his 10 starts and 12 appear-
ances, Milner is batting a solid
.412.
Im not going to complain
about (my performance) but
theres always somewhere I can
work on stuff, Milner said.
The big thing is doing that in
the Big 12.
He has proved himself as an
extra base-hitting powerhouse,
racking up four doubles and
three triples. His two home runs
and .824 season-slugging per-
centage leads the team.
Gus is really a key guy for us
because he is so good defensive-
ly. We need him on the field,
Price said.
Other position player new-
comers include redshirt freshman
outfielder John Allman, freshman
infielder Matt Berner and fresh-
man outfielder Brock Simpson.
Each has made positive
things happen in his appear-
ances. Although not seeing sig-
nificant time on the field, each
seems to understand his role.
Newcomers on the mound
will also be a big issue for the
Jayhawks, as well.
Junior transfer Kodiak Quick,
right-handed pitcher, has sur-
faced in the starting rotation. In
his three starts, Quick has accu-
mulated a 1.23 ERA on a 3-0
record. Most impressive is his
one walk to 15 strikeouts.
Earlier this season, pitching
coach Steve Abney said that he
would look for big things com-
ing from left-handed newcom-
ers, junior Travis Goset and
freshman Logan Murphy.
Being a freshman from
California, I knew a little about
the Big 12, Murphy said. Im
not usually worried when Im on
the mound, thats when I relax.
Goset transferred from
Palomar College. In his two
Jayhawk appearances, he
pitched for a 2.25 ERA.
Murphy, from Vacaville High
School, has picked up a 1.42
ERA in his four relief appear-
ances.
Other new pitchers include
freshman right-handers Tyson
Corley and Carter Holt.
Although senior Michael Fitch,
right-handed pitcher, opened
his season with a rocky start, he
is expected to contribute after
his transfer from Southeast
Missouri State.
Whatever his role, each play-
er has to adjust to the high level
of play in the Big 12.
Its a whole new level. The
guys are bigger and the game
moves a lot faster, Morrison said.
Everything is so much faster.

Sixers stave off Sigma Nu 2, preserve perfect record
The Sixers outlasted Sigma
Nu 2 in a meeting of teams from
mens pool 24 Monday night,
prevailing 41-37 in a hard-
fought intramural basketball
battle.
The victory brings the Sixers
to 3-0 headed into the playoffs.
Thats not bad for a team that
went 0-3 last year in pool play.
Defense was played well by
both teams, who held each
other to more than 20 points
below the season average.
Sigma Nu (2-1) brought a
high-pressure defense on every
possession, while the Sixers
focused their efforts on domi-
nating inside the paint.
Free-throw shooting was
another important factor. The
Sixers made four of their eight
shots, while Sigma Nu went just
two of 10.
The key to winning the game
for the Sixers was not quality of
shots, but quantity. Of the first
30 shots of the game, 20 of them
were hoisted by the Sixers.
With just 6 minutes to play
before halftime, the Sixers
turned up the heat and went on
a six-point run, which helped
them claim a 22-18 lead at half-
time.
During the halftime break,
the team realized that it was
slowing down.
We realized that we had to
sub in a little more to keep our
legs fresher, Alex Haneberg,
Chicago sophomore, said.
Haneberg was a key to the
Sixers second-half success as
they took advantage of Sigma
Nu miscues and slowly pulled
away. The team enjoyed a nine-
point lead with just under 6
minutes to play.
Over the next few minutes,
however, Sigma Nu demon-
strated why it was the highest
scoring team in the pool.
Despite having only seven
players on the team, members
ran fast breaks and began full-
court pressure against the
Sixers.
The strategy worked, and
with 2 minutes to play it was
trailing by only two points.
On the Sixers next posses-
sion, they gave up a steal at mid-
court. Sigma Nu had an open
look at the game-tying basket,
but it was called back on a trav-
eling violation.
The play went back and forth
twice more with neither team
scoring. With 21.5 seconds
showing on the clock, Sigma
Nu had the ball underneath its
basket for what would likely be
its last opportunity.
It found an open three, but it
did not fall. The Sixers started
to fast break the length of the
floor and got a basket with a
foul to put the game away just
before the final buzzer.
Sigma Nu put a scare into the
team at the end, Haneberg said.
But I was confident we
would pull away with the victo-
ry, he said.
The team did, and will go into
next weeks tournament against
its choice of opponent.
Eric Williams, Wichita soph-
omore, said he was encouraged
by the season and that he hopes
the team will continue its suc-
cess in the tournament.
Im hoping at least two wins,
but it all depends on who is in
our bracket and how difficult it
is, he said.
