Stimulus bill could ease school costs

Finding funds for col-
lege may become easier if the
Senate approves the proposed
$825 billion stimulus package.
If passed, an education clause in
the proposed bill would provide
increased funding for federal
grants and student loans.
The allotted funds would
more than double the U.S.
Department of Educations bud-
get of $56 billion in 2008. The
House of Representatives pro-
posed the package to offset the
7.2 percent unemployment rate
and to increase opportunities for
education.
We get half the people jobs
for an immediate blast of cash,
and keep the other half in school

McCollum Hall, Capt. Mark Witt
said.
The incident occurred shortly
after 10:15 p.m. Witt said one of
the robberies was an aggravated

Witt said when the two suspects
saw police arrive at McCollum

of 15th Street and Engel Road.
One suspect was apprehended at
the scene of the collision, and the
other suspect fled on foot before

the Sinhalese majority.
Critics welcome the words, but

Review: Zen means meditation,
but you wont find any babbling
water fountains or peaceful music
at Zen Zero. On a Saturday night
the one-room restaurant fills
with the sounds of clanging pans
and hissing fire from the kitchen.
The noisy addition of conversa-
tions from patrons at the bar
or those sitting at the 20 or so
close-packed tables makes the
atmosphere anything but calm.
With the constant hustle and
bustle, Zen Zero is a great place
to grab dinner with friends or
just sit at the bar with a drink
and munch on the complimentary
shrimp chips.
The food combines several dif-
ferent Asian cuisines, with the
majority of the dishes centered
on Thai food. The dish I ordered,
Thai-style Sweet & Sour, was basi-
cally what I expected from the
descriptive menu. The sauce had a
strong rich flavor, but I would have
preferred less of it. Most dishes
come with a side of steamed rice
or noodles to balance out the bold
sauces, but there should be a more
equal proportion of vegetables and
meat to sauce. The menu offers
several specifically vegetarian
options, and most of the other
dishes can be ordered sans meat
as well.
Zen Zero has fast, reliable ser-
vice. Plus, you dont have to worry
about mispronouncing the name
of your dish because you order by
number.

K-10 Connector to
raise ticket costs
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
Whenever she needs an inexpen-
sive ride home, Rachel Gibson takes
the K-10 Connector.
Its really just a nice way to get
home, Gibson, Overland Park
freshman, said. Gas is really expen-
sive and the bus is just a $5 round
trip or $15 for 10 rides.
This rate will likely change
soon, said Chuck Ferguson, deputy
transportation director of Johnson
County Transit. He said bus passes
account for 12 percent of total rev-
enue for the department. They aim
to increase this figure to 16 percent,
Ferguson said, possibly by increas-
ing the fare to $25 for 10 rides later
this spring.
Unfortunately, even though it
has high ridership, thats the route
that has the most service, Ferguson
said. Its not just the K-10 connec-
tor rate that will change, all of them
will, but that one in particular will
probably be changing in the near
future.
Ferguson said the rate increase
was not meant to create proft.
Johnson County Transit, with a
tight budget this year, hopes the
increased revenue will help meet
expenses. Ferguson said bus passes
account for 12 percent of the de-
partments total revenue.
An average of 482 people took
the K-10 connector each day this
January, its highest ridership since
the service began in 2007. The K-10
connector consists of 14 busses that
travel from Lawrence to Johnson
County and back. The busses run
in 30-minute intervals from 7 a.m.
until 7 p.m, with continuing limited
service until 11:35 p.m.
The K-10 Connector was cre-
ated as an experiment to assess the
demand for the service. Because
of this, K-10 Connector rates are
as cheap as the department can
make them, Ferguson said. With
more assistance, Ferguson said the
department would have been better
equipped to avoid raising the cost
of bus passes.
Right now, more so than ever
before, were watching every dollar
that goes out the door, Ferguson
said.
The department asked the
University, the City of Lawrence,
Douglas County, Johnson County
Community College and the state
of Kansas to help with financing
K-10 Connector. So far, Ferguson
said only the state responded with a
one-time-only $500,000 grant.
Jessica Mortinger, intern for
KU Parking and Transit, said the
University considered the route
an important service, especially
given the routes popularity routes
with students. Mortinger said the
Universitys budget was too tight to
assist Johnson County Transit.
We realize that KU is the main
destination for the ridership of
the K-10 Connector coming to
Lawrence, Mortinger said. But the
reality is our service is already at
capacity.
Allie Mahoney, Overland Park
junior, works in Johnson County
and said she had taken the route
to work for the past year. Mahoney
said she wouldnt mind paying a few
extra dollars if it meant an easier
commute.
Im stuck with it, Mahoney said.
Its too convenient.

INDIANAPOLIS The
estranged wife of an indicted
Indiana money manager withdrew
tens of thousands of dollars from
bank accounts that also included
investor money in the week before
she filed for divorce, a judge ruled
Thursday in freezing her assets
in hopes that clients can recoup
their losses.
Businessman Marcus Schrenker,
38, has been jailed in Florida since
his arrest Jan. 13 at a Tallahassee-
area campground, two days after
authorities say he parachuted from
his airplane and left it pilotless
over Alabama in a bid to fake his
death to escape mounting busi-
ness and personal problems. He
has pleaded not guilty to charges
of deliberately crashing the air-
craft, which ended up in Florida,
and making a false distress call.
State attorneys pursuing sepa-
rate charges related to his busi-
ness dealings in Indiana pressed
for his assets and those of his
wife, Michelle Schrenker, to
become part of a court-controlled
receivership. They said Michelle
Schrenkers assets are crucial
because she is listed as chief finan-
cial officer in one of her husbands
companies and has been living in
the couples suburban Indianapolis
home assessed at $1.4 million.
Her attorney disputes the ruling
that she withdrew the money, say-
ing her husband took it out him-
self and used some to fly to Key
West, Fla., with his girlfriend.
Mary Schmid said she would
appeal Judge J. Richard Campbells
ruling.
The judge has not followed the
law and the facts as hes written
them in the order are also incor-
rect, Schmid told The Associated
Press.
Records show $66,500 with-
drawn in Michelle Schrenkers
name from an investor account
between Dec. 23 and Dec. 30, the
day she filed for divorce. The next
day, Indiana police served a search
warrant on the Schrenkers home
and Marcus Schrenkers office,
seizing computers, tubs full of
financial documents and evidence
of recent document shredding.
The records show another
$14,622 came out of the same
account to pay credit card and
other bills in the same period.
The fact that she was overpaid
for limited duties, the fact that
she permitted Marcus Schrenker
to put their assets in her name,
the fact that she personally with-
drew funds from the corporations
accounts all suggest she violated
Indiana securities law, Campbell
wrote in freezing the couples per-
sonal assets and those of Marcus
Schrenkers three businesses.
Campbell, a judge in Hamilton
County Superior Court in sub-
urban Indianapolis, noted that
Michelle Schrenker received
$10,000 a month for her role as
CFO.
A tearful Michelle Schrenker,
emerging from a court hearing on
her divorce petition shortly after
Campbells ruling, said she was
being treated unfairly.
I have done nothing wrong,
she told WTHR-TV. The only
thing my husband did was give
me a glorified title in that com-
pany.
A former girlfriend of
Schrenkers, Kelly Baker, testified
before Campbell on Jan. 30 that
over two months ending in early
December, the businessman and
stunt pilot gave her nearly $20,000
in gifts.
An administrative law judge
last month permanently revoked
Schrenkers Indiana insurance
license after investors testified
Schrenker had forged signatures
on investment documents, charged
exorbitant fees and removed
money from their accounts with-
out authorization, costing them
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Schrenker also lost a $533,000
judgment to an insurance com-
pany in December.
Indiana Secretary of State Todd
Rokita, who oversees securities
regulation in the state, said people
continue to come forward claim-
ing Schrenker bilked them out of
investment money.
The ruling, he said, will allow
his office and the court-appointed
receiver to continue identifying
and preserving any assets that
have been built up through ill-
gotten gain.

Car bomb leaves medical

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Federal
agents investigating a car bomb-
ing that critically injured a state
medical board ofcial focused
Thursday on a tire the victim
reportedly was trying to move
from his driveway just before
the blast.
Dr. Trent P. Pierce, 54, re-

bomb blew up in West Memphis
as he prepared to leave for work.
The chairman of the Arkansas

and was pelted with shrapnel.
Pierce is conscious and

leaned down to move the tire
out of the way just before the

Justice has surgery for pancreatic cancer
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reads froma small book version of the U.S.
Constitution in Princeton, N.J. Ginsburg has been hospitalized for surgery for pancreatic cancer.
BY MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Supreme
Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
had surgery Thursday for pancre-
atic cancer, raising the possibility
that one of the ideologically divid-
ed courts leading liberals and
its only woman might have to
curtail her work or even step down
before she had planned.
Ginsburg, 75, has been a justice
since 1993. She has been increas-
ingly vocal in recent years about the
courts more conservative stances,
especially after the appointments
made by President George W.
Bush.
Pancreatic cancer is often dead-
ly, although the court said doc-
tors apparently found Ginsburgs
growth at an early stage.
In 1999, she had colon cancer
surgery, underwent radiation and
chemotherapy, and never missed a
day on the bench. Statistics suggest
this could be a tougher fight.
Ginsburg underwent the surgery
at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center in New York. She
will remain in the hospital for
seven to 10 days, said her surgeon,
Dr. Murray Brennan, according to
the court. The justices hold their
next private conference on Feb. 20
and return to the bench from their
winter break on Feb. 23.
President Barack Obama
expressed hope for her speedy
recovery, White House press sec-
retary Robert Gibbs said Thursday,
and offered his thoughts and
prayers.
If Ginsburg or another justice

F
ugu is a delicacy in Japan.
It is a large, gray blowfish
prepared by the finest chefs
and eaten by the bravest custom-
ers. The reason this succulent fish
comes with a side of danger is
because, if it is not prepared prop-
erly, eating it can kill you. The liver
and gonads contain a toxin called
tetrodotoxin, which, if eaten, will
block nerves from firing, paralyze
muscles, and kill by asphyxiation.
Though most people would cringe
at the thought of eating something
that could also be their last meal,
would they still order it if it were
labeled as all-natural?
In many, that label inspires
confidence in the health or safety
of a product, but the adjective
natural on products from cereal
boxes to bottles of vitamins doesnt
really guarantee any level of merit.
Natural means only that what
you are eating came from a natu-
ral source, and nature certainly
isnt looking to do you any favors.
Fugu fish, after all, are willing and
able to enact their revenge on the
humans who eat them.
What people really want is assur-
ance that their food is safe and
healthy, and whether something is
natural doesnt really apply. Nature
provides many things that can be
both dangerous and unhealthy. The
deadly Fugu and sticks of organic
butter are all-natural, yet no phy-
sician would recommended going
on the butter-blowfish diet. We
need to rely on logic and science,
not nature, to help us determine
what really is healthy.
On the other hand, many arti-
ficial compounds work well as
preservatives or drugs, keeping you
from getting botulism from your
food and treating you correctly if
you do. New health foods go out
of their way to state that they have
been made with no preservatives,
but the only impact the consumer
will see is the products shortened
shelf-life. Preservatives keep bacte-
ria and other bugs from eating our
food before we do, which is one of
the perks of being an industrialized
nation. The consumer has nothing
to fear from preservatives. Because
we are ingesting them in such
minute concentrations, they have a
negligible effect on us.
There are two authorities who
should, and do, guide your health
and safety choices: the Food and
Drug Administration and your
doctor. The former has a watch-
ful eye over what gets sold in
supermarkets, casting a large net
in preventing anything harmful
from entering the market, as well
as recalling anything dangerous
already being sold (for example,
spinach with all-natural E. coli).
The latter has a close relationship
with your well-being and can tell
you what your diet should con-
tain, such as more Vitamin A or
less cholesterol. This duo is really
responsible for keeping all of us
alive and healthy, and we should
respect their opinions about any
all-natural product. A quick pur-
chase in the natural-foods aisle at
the grocery store cannot substitute
for getting exercise and truly eat-
ing right.

SAI THE
SCIENCE
GUY
I
t seems these days that
everything from magazines
to box-office smashes are
revolving around the crude
behavior of males. Men glo-
rifying their near-alcoholism,
sleeping with as many women
as possible and retaining
immaturity far into adult-
hood are not only accepted, but
embraced. How did guys get this
way? When did a man in his
mid-20s stop being consistently
financially stable, with his own
house and family, and turn into a
video game-obsessed bar hopper
living with fellow bachelors well
after college?
Its hard for me to expect guys
to be particularly responsible,
ambitious or monogamous. In
my experience, very few young
men have all these qualities
and the ones who do are surely
badgered by their friends. A
Nice Guy will go to extremes
to prove his manliness to friends
through activities like beer
Olympics. This peer pressure is
only getting worse. But what I
never knew is that this annoying
trend is strongly influenced by
women.
What no one ever considered
during the feminist movement
of the 1970s or the Girl Power
phase of the 90s were the poten-
tially negative effects that the
changing roles of women could
have on men. Kay S. Kymowitz
of the City Journal wrote a
captivating piece on the New
Girl Order a distinct group
of women in their twenties
and early thirties character-
ized as hyper-achievers: They
have college degrees, reside in
urban areas and view marriage
as an option, not a necessity.
Currently, more women than
men are attending college not
only in the U.S., but also the
U.K., Australia, Germany and
other countries. Only 25 percent
of 25-year-old women in 2000
were married with children, as
opposed to 75 percent in 1970.
The days of attending college for
an MRS degree are quickly dying
out, but rather than compete
with women for jobs or each
other for a lovely and intelligent
ladys hand, young men have
decided to extend adolescence
for as long as possible.
Kymowitz calls them Man-
Children. A typical Man-Child
likely has or is obtaining a col-
lege degree, and lives with pals
in an apartment decorated with
posters of half-naked girls. He
has a love affair with a favorite
sports team, avoids meaningful
relationships at all costs, never
misses an episode of South Park,
and idolizes professional Man-
Children such as Tucker Maxx.
He sounds like basically every
guy I know. Their mentality:
Without marriage, a house mort-
gage, kids, etc., whats the rush in
growing up?
After looking at it in this
perspective, I quickly gained
clarity on the traits I hear girls
gripe about most when it comes
to relationships: He was so
drunk he threw up in my bed
last night. He said he doesnt
remember, but he made out with
her in front of me. Hes a sixth-
year senior, but he had a rough
semester or four. Not the
most appealing qualities, but I
must admit Man-Children arent
completely terrible. They can
be good fun as friends, even if
theyre a nightmare to date, and
with boys sleeping off hangovers
until 4 p.m., girls are getting an
even bigger jump-start on the
future. Bottom line, guys are
really only harming themselves.
Ladies, let them skip class to
smoke pot and play Halo until
their eyes bleed. Well be busy
taking over the world, then get-
ting married (to someone at
least a decade older) when were
bored.

Freedom versus
fear-mongering
On Jan. 29 The Kansan ran
a letter to the editor about
the Freedom of Choice Act
(FOCA) that started out by
talking about the very scary
American future that the writer
believes FOCA represents. She
began in that way for one very
simple reason: Opponents of
the Freedom of Choice Act are
trying to scare people.
She misrepresents the
legislation by suggesting
that it would put a variety of
restrictions on everyone from
medical professionals to state
governments. Instead, FOCA
lifts the restrictions anti-choice
legislators have put on a
womans right to choose since
the Roe v. Wade decision.
Dont take my word for it,
read the actual legislation:
It is the policy of the United
States that every woman
has the fundamental right
to choose to bear a child, to
terminate a pregnancy prior to
fetal viability, or to terminate a
pregnancy after fetal viability
when necessary to protect the
life or health of the woman.
FOCA is about making sure
that women have control
over their own bodies by
stopping undue governmental
interference with what is quite
possibly the most personal
decision a woman could ever
have to make.
If Tara Elpers is against
abortion, it is her right to
choose not to have one. It
is not her right to make that
decision for anyone else. All
FOCA does is ask us to trust
women with their own lives.
I am almost always willing
to choose freedom over
fear-mongering. Thats why I
support FOCA.

T
he other night I was watch-
ing the Baylor game on
television when, as ESPN
typically does before a commercial
break, the camera cut to the most
raucous fans in all of Waco, Texas.
That was when I saw it. The
most brilliantly antagonistic sign
Id ever seen. Written not by mor-
tal hands on mere poster board,
nay, this sign was written by the
gods themselves: forged of the
finest composite recycled white
papers in all the land, scrawled
with markers of the most pure
green and incandescent yel-
low ever created. This was no
mere ledger to announce that
SportsCenter was coming up next.
No. This was something of a more
cosmic, divine inspiration.
Youre not in Kansas anymore!
Sheer, unadulterated, unmiti-
gated brilliance.
You see, this Baylor fan man-
aged to mine two lodes of funda-
mental comic effectiveness. First,
he derided what is our apparent
inability to find our own butts
with our hands.
Wait Im not in Kansas
anymore? But I thought oh no,
they just scored 50 points while I
was distracted.
Second, he went straight for the
jugular with a reference to a movie
that came out before most of
our parents were twinkles in our
grandparents eyes.
The sad truth is that people
have thought of this joke many,
many, many times before. It seems
that every time someone thinks
that it would make an instantly
unforgettable sign, theres inevi-
tably a cameraman nearby who
finds the sign inspired and origi-
nal. Ive counted signs with the
exact same phrase at least 12 times
this school year. You would think
the networks would stop reward-
ing this behavior.
At the Orange Bowl I counted
no fewer than three signs that
informed me that I was no longer
in Kansas (admittedly I did, for a
time, assume that Miami, Fla., was
a few miles south of Coffeyville).
At some point you would figure
that the director would realize
they played the same joke three
times. He was probably too busy
doubled over in fits of hysterical
laughter.
Its funny because its true!
Theyre NOT in Kansas! You see?
Like the movie!
I should begin lurking at sport-
ing events with a sign that says
This Joke hasnt been Funny
Since 1939. Every time the camer-
as cut to someone with the sign, I
will slow-motion dive in front and
let the world know how I really
feel: annoyed that people cant
come up with anything better than
the beat-to-death horse that is the
Wizard of Oz joke.
I wonder whether Kansans get
this kind of treatment anywhere
else in the world. I can totally
imagine Nancy Pelosi going down
the roll in the House, when sud-
denly her eyes get just a bit ahead
of the name shes calling. Impishly
looking up from the list, she asks
for Dennis Moores attendance
before belting out a mighty, Hey
Moore! Youre not in Kansas any-
more!
She would bring the house
down.

NEWS 6A friday, february 6, 2009
according to the National Center
for Public Policy and Higher
Education.
Aside from tuition, students
also have to worry about other
fees, including books and organi-
zation fees.
Phil Hoefer, Hutchinson junior,
relies on student loans to pay
for college. He said his parents
couldnt afford to pay his tuition
and he received a minimal amount
of money from grants.
I think grants should be used
way more, Hoefer said. It puts
a lot of stress on me to know how
much money me and my parents
have to pay back from loans.
In the current version of the bill,
Pell Grant maximums would be
increased from $4,850 to $5,350.
While Hoefer received some aid
from the government, he said it
wasnt enough to cover his tuition
and fees.
I was dead set on coming to
KU, so we took out private loans,
Hoefer said.
Like Hoefer, students turn to
private lenders when their fed-
eral aid runs out, Donna Ginther,
associate professor of economics,
said. But when the banking indus-
try fell, the flow of cash for stu-
dent loans stopped, making pri-
vate loans less available. Ginther
said including money for higher
education in the stimulus package
was necessary because of the clog
in private lending and the neces-
sity for students to stay in school.
She said a college education would
benefit the economy in the long
run because of the skills learned.
Take science degrees, for
example, Ginther said Science is
the future of new development.
Lynch said that while the major-
ity of the stimulus package was
aimed at boosting the economy
by creating jobs, the education
portion would ultimately fit that
goal by providing job training
programs and easy access to col-
lege degrees.
The goal is to get people work-
ing, and to get people to go to col-
lege who normally wouldnt go,
Lynch said.
While the majority of the edu-
cation clause is directed at pri-
mary education, Ginther said it
would still help higher education
indirectly. She said states were
required to fund primary schools,
but not higher education insti-
tutes.
If the stimulus package pro-
vides money to the states for pri-
mary education, there will be less
of a need to cut funding for higher
ed, Ginther said.

ELECTION
Franken asks minn. court
to give him senate seat
ST. PAUL, Minn. Lawyers for
Democrat Al Franken told Min-
nesotas highest court Thursday
that he should be certifed as the
winner of his tight Senate race
with Republican Norm Coleman
without waiting for the outcome
of his rivals legal challenge.
The Minnesota Supreme
Court heard oral arguments on
Frankens request for a certifcate
of election now, at least on an
interim basis, so that Minnesotas
empty seat can be flled without
waiting the months it may take
for the courts to resolve Cole-
mans separate lawsuit over the
recount, which gave Franken a
225-vote advantage.
The justices took the case
under advisement and didnt say
when they might rule, but their
many questions suggested they
were skeptical of Frankens argu-
ments.
GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty and
Democratic Secretary of State
Mark Ritchie have rejected Fran-
kens demand for the certifcate,
which he would need under Sen-
ate rules to take the seat Coleman
had to vacate early last month as
the new Congress convened.

Our main goal is to brainstorm
and prioritize the strengths, weak-
nesses, issues and opportunities
of the neighborhood, Leininger
said.
Kraig Stoll, Mulvane junior,
lives in the Oread neighborhood.
Stolls main concern was street
conditions.
Its horrible, this place tears
your car up, Stoll said.
Alexandra Norton, Chicago
senior, said the broken, uneven
sidewalks combined with and
poor lighting created a dangerous
situation.
I see so many girls eat it,
Norton said.
Norton doesnt have any noise
complaints. She said she expected
to hear rowdy noises and deal with
drunken people because its a stu-
dent neighborhood.
Dan Hamilton, Baldwin City
senior, doesnt live in the area, but
said he had been visiting Lawrence
since he was young.
We have always called this the
ghetto, Dan Hamilton, Baldwin
City senior, said.
Hamilton said parking was
sometimes troublesome, especial-
ly on streets that dont have alleys,
such as Ohio Street.
Jennifer Stanton, Wichita
senior, said students living in the
area knew what they were getting
into when they moved into the
student ghetto.
She found some of its problems
endearing.
It makes it feel more like a col-
lege atmosphere, Stanton said.
Stanton said she thought stu-
dents in the area didnt care much
about how well the neighborhood
was maintained because most only
lived there for a short period of
time.
Norton agreed with Stanton
and said the neighborhood was
great for students because it was
close to campus and had a large
student population.
The Oread neighborhood
is east of campus and ends at
Massachusetts Street. Its outer
boundaries lie between Ninth and
17th streets.

dismembering a man in Kansas
City, Mo., in 1978, but the case
was thrown out. He was jailed
on rape charges decades later in
Massachusetts, but went free when
the victim refused to testify.
And while authorities in
Chicago have long suspected Lewis
was responsible for the deadly
1982 Tylenol poisonings, the only
thing they ever pinned on him
was an extortion attempt against
the maker of the pain reliever. No
one was ever charged in the seven
cyanide deaths.
Now the FBI says there are new
leads in the Tylenol case and on
Wednesday seized a computer and
boxes of files from Lewis Boston-
area home. The mysterious and
sudden flurry of activity has raised
hopes of a long-awaited break in
the sensational 26-year-old case.
Up until yesterday, I thought
this would never be solved in my
lifetime or ever, said Jack Eliason,
whose sister, Mary McFarland,
a 31-year-old mother, died after
swallowing poisoned Tylenol.
Exactly why investigators have
suddenly taken so much interest
in the self-proclaimed Tylenol
Man is unclear, but the FBI cited
advances in forensic technology,
along with publicity and tips that
came in around the 25th anniver-
sary of the crime in 2007.
In a space of three days begin-
ning Sept. 29, 1982, seven people
who took cyanide-laced Tylenol
in Chicago and four suburbs died.
That triggered a national scare
and a huge recall, and eventually
led to the widespread adoption of
tamper proof packaging for over-
the-counter drugs.
Caught after a nationwide
manhunt in late 1982, Lewis gave
investigators a detailed account of
how the killer might have done it,
and eventually admitted sending a
letter demanding $1 million from
the manufacturer of Tylenol to
stop the killing.
But he said he was only trying
to exploit the crisis, and denied
he had anything to do with the
deaths. He was convicted of extor-
tion in 1983 and spent 12 years in
prison, getting out in 1995.
Lewiss life both before and
after his prison sentence is full of
strange and disturbing twists.
Police said that he was arrested
in 1973 and 1974 for fighting with
his stepfather and spent time in
mental institutions.
In 1978 he was accused of dis-
membering a 72-year-old man
who had hired him as an accoun-
tant. The charges were eventually
dismissed because the cause of
death was not determined and
some evidence had been illegally
obtained. Lewis denied killing
the man.
He and his wife, Leann, moved
to the Chicago area in the early
1980s, their activities shrouded
in secrecy. Authorities said Lewis
was chameleon-like in his abil-
ity to change his identity, using
at least 18 names and posing
as a freelance writer, real estate
salesman, computer assistant and
importer of Indian tapestries.
In 2004, Lewis was charged
with kidnapping and raping a
woman. He was jailed for three
years while awaiting trial, but
prosecutors dropped the charges
after the victim refused to testify.
Lewis is listed as a partner in
a Web design and programming
company called Cyberlewis. On
its Web site, he complains about
being known as the Tylenol
Man.
Somehow, after a quarter of
a century, I surmise only a select
few with critical minds will believe
anything I have to say, he says
in an audio clip. Many people
look for hidden agendas, for secret
double entendre, and ignore the
literal meanings I convey. Many
enjoy twisting and contorting what
I say into something ominous and
dreadful which I do not intend.
That my friends is the curse of
being labelled the Tylenol Man. Be
that as it may, I can NOT change
human proclivities. Listen as you
like, Lewis said.
AssOCiAtED PREss
FBi agents carry boxes out of the apartment building in Cambridge, Mass., Wednesday after
searching the apartment home of James W. Lewis, who was linked to the fatal 1982 Tylenol
poisonings that triggered a nationwide scare.

2008-2009
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
Sophomore forward Nicollette
Smith is always talking.
Since day one, when Kansas
began preseason individual work-
outs, Smith has shouldered the
responsibility of communicating
with the Jayhawks most athletic
and raw player: freshman for-
ward Aishah Sutherland.
And Kansas will need
Sutherlands athletic ability tomor-
row at Missouri at 1 p.m.
I see how much talent she has
and I try to talk her through every-
thing, Smith said. She doesnt like
to talk that much, and thats why
people have to talk to her a lot if
youre on the court. If you dont
talk, itll be quiet.
Indeed, Sutherlands quiet
nature is easily noticed.
On the court, when coach
Bonnie Henrickson barks correc-
tions on defense, Sutherland sim-
ply nods. With reporters surround-
ing her after games, Sutherlands
responses are short and direct,
barely audible above the other con-
versations.
Thats why Smith keeps talking.
I make it a point of emphasis
that whenever Im with her, Im
just talking with her, Smith said. I
know that one day, if not this sea-
son then next season, shes going to
be able to talk through something
on her own. Thats going to help us
tremendously.
At times this season,
Sutherlands impact on the
Jayhawks has been loud and clear.
In Kansas loss to Kansas State on
Jan. 24, Sutherland surprised many
by playing 32 minutes, scoring nine
points and grabbing 12 rebounds
off the bench.
Then, on Wednesday,
Sutherlands sheer athletic abil-
ity was on display again. Facing a
Colorado team unable to match
her size and quickness, Sutherland
scored a career-high 12 points and
dominated stretches in the second
half.
And as impressive as Sutherlands
development has been, Smiths
maturation may be more so.
She talks her through
everything, Henrickson said.
Even coming to a timeout, shes
in her ear talking about, Hey, we
need to play it this way. Thats
where that kid has grown. She has
a really good basketball IQ, but
shes committed to being vocal and
communicating.

Warmer

on softball
schedule
BY KEllY BrEcKuNitch
kbreckunitch@kansan.com
A
quick glance at the KU
softball schedule may look
like a spring break sampler
to some, but it will be a rugged test
for the Jayhawks.
Everyone wants to jump in the
suitcases with us and go, coach
Tracy Bunge said. The warm
weather though is just a faade.
This is no vacation. The only rea-
son that so many warm weather
tournaments are on the schedule
is because of the unpredictable
weather in Kansas during this time
of the year, Bunge said.
You never know what youre
going to get, said Bunge. Its kind
of like a box of chocolates.
The Kansas weather has held the
team back from practicing outside,
and Bunge said thats why many
players are looking forward to the
first tournament.
I think that everybodys excited
to get into warmth, Bunge said.
Maybe the Jayhawks bring the
bad weather with them though.
Of course, now theyre calling
for rain, Bunge said of the week-
end forecast in Tempe, Ariz.
The talent level in the tour-
naments is sure to prepare the
Jayhawks for the rest of the season.
Four of the five teams they will face
in Arizona are ranked, but Bunge
said the team is prepared.
We felt with an experienced
group, we were at the point where
we needed to improve our RPI a
little bit, Bunge said.
Bunge said she knows the team
can take a couple games from
ranked opponents if they stay
focused on the task at hand.
Were not looking down the
road, Bunge said.
The competition is one reason
the Jayhawks are looking forward
to these tournaments, but there are
some other reasons they lined up
the schedule they way they did.
We also like to try and go
where our players are from, Bunge
said.
Senior pitcher Valerie George
is from Arizona and the Jayhawks
have not been out to Arizona since
shes been on the team, so Bunge
said that was a factor in getting
George an opportunity to play in
front of family.
Bunge also said that these trips
are big recruiting opportunities for
the team and that is a big reason
they are going to Texas later this
month.
Although the Jayhawks are
playing in vacation areas, they do
not get anytime to enjoy the cities.
Our time is spent between
sleeping, eating, or being at the
ballpark, Bunge said.
The trips also keep the team
away and traveling for quite a while.
By the time we hit Palm
Springs, were going to be a little bit
tired of already being on the road,
Bunge said
It isnt a joy ride, even if they are
flying all across the country. You
may envy the players for getting to
escape to cities like Tempe, Ariz.,
Orlando and Palm Springs, Calif.,
but its all business for the Jayhawks
who are out to prove they can hang
with the big dogs of college softball.

Sherron Collins tells his team-
mates the same thing before every
game in Allen Fieldhouse.
More specifically, he yells the
same thing. After Collins name is
announced, he runs through the
tunnel and the rest of the Jayhawks
circle around him. They ignore
the deafening noise of the home
crowd and listen to the message
they know is coming.
I just tell them its our house,
Collins, a junior guard, said. And
we dont lose at home.
Kansas hasnt lost in Allen
Fieldhouse in two years. The
Jayhawks will be attempting to
win their 37th consecutive home
game Saturday when they play the
Oklahoma State Cowboys at 2:30.
The Jayhawks currently hold
the nations longest home winning
streak at 36 games. Kansas last
lost in Lawrence on Feb. 3, 2007
against Texas A&M, 69-66.
Thats one of only two home
losses the other was a 78-71 loss
to Oral Roberts on Nov. 15, 2006
Collins and sophomore guard
Brady Morningstar have expe-
rienced since coming to Kansas.
The other six rotation players have
never lost on Naismith Court.
Thats something the players
should obviously take great pride
in, Kansas coach Bill Self said.
Not because its the longest in
America now, but because theres a
lot of guys that spent a lot of hours
to get it to that length.
This is coming from Self, who
doesnt care much about streaks.
Self says he never brings up indi-
vidual streaks like Sherron
Collins record 35 consecutive free
throws to the players.
But this is different. The home
winning streak is already the third
longest in school history. The
Jayhawks won 62 in a row at Allen
Fieldhouse from 1994-1998 and
55 consecutively from 1984-1988.
If Kansas kept winning, it likely
wouldnt have a chance to break
the record until the 2010-2011
season. But thats irrelevant. What
matters to Self and Collins is that
the young Jayhawks are beginning
to understand the importance of
winning at home.
Its tough to beat us in here
once the fans get into the game,
freshman forward Marcus Morris
said. It gets loud. It gets tough to
concentrate.
Even for Morris. Self said it
could get so loud at the end of
a close game that the Jayhawks
could feel more pressure than the
away team because they dont want
to let the fans down.
Collins remembers that sensa-
tion from when he was a young-
ster in the Kansas lineup two years
ago. But he also remembers the
pregame huddles he found solace
in.
It was the same way, Collins
said. I wasnt the one talking in
the huddle, but it was a home
game and we didnt lose at home.
Perhaps someday, Morris will
be the one delivering the inspira-
tion before the game. For now, hes
focused on prolonging the streak.
Its tough to beat us in the
Fieldhouse because we bring
our A-game, Morris said. Its a
great feeling to have that winning
streak.

from the Big 12 Conference.
But the winner has come
from the Big 12 the past two

won it last season and Texas
A&Ms Acie Law IV took it in
2007 when Kansas Russell
Robinson was a fnalist.

ivals.com bestowed 33
high school senior foot-
ball players with the top
recruiting honor a five-star
ranking.
The scary part? Fourteen of
them signed with Southeastern
Conference schools. Thats nine
more than in any other con-
ference the Big 12, Pac-10
and Atlantic Coast Conference
grabbed five each.
Before expelling more negative
energy about rivals.coms recruit-
ing rankings, realize youre
wrong. Sure, the Web site gives
some players two stars and they
turn into first-round picks in
the NFL Draft. Thats expected.
Evaluating thousands of play-
ers perfectly and accounting for
their maturation isnt going to
happen.
But when a player gets five
stars, its usually indicative
of future success. Ask Vince
Young, Reggie Bush or Adrian
Peterson all of whom went on
to illustrious careers after rivals.
com gave them five stars. Want
defenders? Rivals.com ranked
LaMarr Woodley, Ernie Sims and
Haloti Ngata at the top of their
classes. Now, theyre all NFL
standouts.
This means the SEC domi-
nated the recruiting circuit this
season almost as well as it has
dominated on the field in the last
half-decade.
Alabama snagged run-
ning back Trent Richardson.
Louisiana State kept wide
receiver Rueben Randle in state.
Georgia got cornerback Branden
Smith. Florida signed linebacker
Jelani Jenkins. Get ready to hear
these names a lot over the next
four years.
Ten SEC teams everyone
except Vanderbilt and Kentucky
hauled in classes that rivals.
com ranked in the top 25 in the
nation. Alabama and LSU ranked
No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.
Georgia and Florida ranked No.
9 and No. 10, respectively.
Before criticizing the team
rankings, realize Florida, USC,
LSU, Georgia and Notre Dame
were the only schools to be
ranked in the top 10 in each
of the last three years. Throw
out Notre Dame and thats an
impressive list that includes three
national championship teams
and eight teams that have won
BCS bowl games.
These juggernaut recruiting
classes ensure that the best foot-
ball will continue to be played
below the Mason-Dixon Line
for years to come. Next year, the
SEC will try to become the first
conference ever to produce four
straight national champions.
The only question is, which
team will it be? Its going to hap-
pen. In every aspect, the SEC is
ahead of the rest of the college
football world.

Hooray for Kansas second
Big Monday game in a row next
week, when it will play Missouri
on the road.
Why is this something to
cheer about? Because if Kansas
didnt play Monday, it would play
Wednesday and conflict with a
new episode of ABCs Lost.
Losts fifth season kicked off
last month and has once again
proven to be one of the two best
shows on network television.
The other? NBCs Friday Night
Lights, which airs new episodes
at 7 p.m. on Fridays.
Luckily, Kansas never plays on
Friday nights.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
I never thought you could
look at the box score and see
somebody with 50 with a
triple-double, but its hap-
pened.
LeBron James after recording 52 points,
11 assists and 10 rebounds at Madison
Square Garden Wednesday night
FACT OF THE DAY
LeBron James 52 points were
the most in a triple-double
since the NBA-ABA merger.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975
was the last player to score 50
points in a triple-double.
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Besides LeBron, whos
the only player with multiple
50-point games in Madison
Square Garden?
A: Michael Jordan. His
Airness had a few 50-point
outings in the Garden, but
the most memorable was a
55-point performance shortly
after he returned from his frst
retirement. That was the high-
est scoring total by an oppos-
ing player in MSG until Kobe
Bryant scored 61 on Monday.

Mark Hays and his KU club
baseball team would not usually
even ponder hitting the diamond
right now, considering Kansas
harsh weather conditions. But
in October they got a phone call
from Arizona State University.
Arizona States club team asked
Hays, Overland Park senior, if
Kansas team would be interest-
ed in playing a weekend series in
early February. The Jayhawks had
won their conference the previ-
ous season, and the Sun Devils
told Hays they wanted to build
a nonconference schedule filled
with conference champions from
around the nation. After talking
it over at their next club meeting,
the Jayhawks decided the series
would be a tremendous opportu-
nity to gain valuable experience
and bond as a team.
The most important thing
about this trip is team bonding
since we did not get many games
during the fall semester.
After signing on to play the
series, the teams had a lot of
work to do. Kansas and Arizona
State spent the next couple of
months debating who would pay
for rental vans and who would
pay for hotel expenses.
But now all that work is out of
the way and the team can focus
on playing.
This is a very exciting time
for the team, Hays said. We
only lost two seniors from last
year, and with thirteen returning,
it should not only be an incred-
ible weekend, but an exhilarating
20-plus game season.
After winning the Mid-
America South Conference
championship last season, the
Jayhawks are the heavy favorite
to be repeat champions this year
and ultimately contend for a spot
in the NCBA World Series. High
expectations to repeat this year
mean everyone in the confer-
ence will be gunning for Kansas,
including teams such as Saint
Louis University, Missouri State,
Kansas State, and of course the
Missouri Tigers.
Hays seems very excited about
the season. With the majority of
the team coming back we should
be able to compete at a very high
level and contend for another
conference championship, Hays
said.
And with the upcoming week-
end of games against the Sun
Devils, they are sure to get a
substantial jump on the compe-
tition, win or lose.

KANSAS
(16-4)
StArterS
Sherron Collins, 5-foot-11 junior guard
Collins thinks the Jayhawks can get better.
But can he? Collins already averages 18 points
and fve assists per game.

Tyshawn Taylor, 6-foot-3 freshman guard

Taylor has scored less than 10 points in three
straight games and seems poised to explode for
a big game any time now.

Brady Morningstar, 6-foot-3 sophomore

guard
Morningstar played 40 minutes in the victory
against Baylor Monday. Yes, that means he
didnt come out of the game at all.

Marcus Morris, 6-foot-8 freshman forward

Morris shooting ability makes him hard
to guard and Self is allowing him to play an
expanded role ofensively.

Cole Aldrich, 6-foot-11 sophomore

center
For the frst time this season, Aldrich
failed to reach double digits in either
points or rebounds Monday against
Baylor. As long as the guards get him
the ball Saturday, the streak wont
continue.

sIxTh man
Mario Little, 6-foot-5 junior guard
Little made the most of his 13 min-
utes against Baylor,
scoring 12 points
and adding three
rebounds. Like
Taylor, he
looks primed
for a break
out some-
time soon.

Ten months ago, fans feared
Kansas coach Bill Self might bolt
for Oklahoma State. On the sur-
face, it looked like there was rea-
son for concern. Oklahoma State
was Selfs alma mater and it had
reportedly been willing to make
him the highest paid coach in all
of college basketball. But in all ac-
tuality, it wasnt going to happen.
Not with Self. For the frst time
since the mini-drama took place,
Self and the Jayhawks take on the
Cowboys Saturday. And Self is in
no way looking at Oklahoma State
and asking what could have been.
How could he be? Kansas is 7-0 in
Big 12 Conference play and look-
ing to add another title.
Senior guard Byron Eaton
Like Sherron Collins, Eaton is
a little engine who can steamroll
his way to the
basket and fn-
ish at the rim or
the free-throw
line. The di-
minutive guard
has attempted
the ffth-most
freebies in the
conference and
he makes them
at a 73 percent clip. The Dallas na-
tive also leads the Cowboys with
122 assists and 50 steals. Guys like
Eaton and Collins prove theres
room for the little guy in college
basketball, and theyll do it against
each other on Saturday.
Oklahoma State isnt a Big 12
bottom feeder, but its close. The
Cowboys are a small step above
the bottom three teams. On the
other hand, theyre just 16 points
from a 6-1 conference record.
An overtime loss at Baylor and
then close losses to Missouri and
Oklahoma have perplexed coach
Travis Ford. How could a team that
nearly beat two of the conference
powers lose by 12 at Texas A&M?
Its a difcult question and Ford
sure doesnt have the answer. Hes
just grateful that Okie St. snuck
out a victory over bottom feeder
Texas Tech on wednesday.
Freshman forward Tyshawn
Taylor
This isnt the Oklahoma State
of old. New coach Travis Ford
brought an up-tempo style and
the Cowboys
now play at a
faster pace than
almost every
team in the na-
tion. Exactly the
way Taylor pre-
fers to play. Hell
be the fastest
player on the
court and could thrive of of the
Cowboys tendency to run up and
down the court. Look for blocks.
Look for transition points. Look for
Taylors best game since the Big 12
opener against Kansas State.
Can the Jayhawks slow Obi
Muonelo?
Someone will have a big game
for the Cowboys. when a team
averages as many possessions
as they do, at least one player is
bound to put up big numbers
every game. Kansas needs to
make sure it isnt Muonelo. Hes
the kind of player who has given
the Jayhawks trouble this season
a big guard who plays a lot of
his minutes in the post. Muonelo
averages nearly 15 points and
nine rebounds. To hold him below
that, its going to take a strong
defensive efort from whoever
guards him.
weve got to get prepared to
play a really good Oklahoma State
team that can beat anybody on
any night because of the way they
play. They shoot so many threes
and when theyre hitting, they can
beat anybody. Theyve got four
guys who are as good as shooters
as anyone in our league.
Kansas coach Bill Self
were learning and everyone is
buying into coachs system. were
just fnding out who we are and
getting better day by day.
Junior guard Sherron Collins
ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF.
Kansas throws down a couple alley-oops. Maybe change if to
when. Against Oklahoma State, the lob passes are going to be
open when Kansas has a numbers advantage in transition. Sherron
Collins and Tyshawn Taylor might connect with Marcus Morris or
Cole Aldrich early to stimulate the crowd. Marcus also likes to lob
passes down to Aldrich.

PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS
GRAVE IF ...
Byron Eaton gets back into his groove. You know, the one he found
last year against Kansas. Kansas last loss of the 2007-2008 season
came in Stillwater,Okla., because of two reasons: 1. It played its
worst game of the season, 2. Eaton dominated. He scored 26 points
and had four assists in the 61-60 victory. Eaton had no trouble get-
ting into the lane and creating for the Cowboys. The Jayhawks cant
let that happen again.
Prediction:
KANSAS 84, OKLAHOMA STATE 79
Eaton
Can pint-sized Oklahoma
State harass Cole Aldrich as
Nebraska did?
Aldrich has said that he prefers
playing against another big man
instead of a bunch of swarming
guards. Thats easy to understand
after watching him struggle
against Nebraska.
The Cornhuskers hounded
him every time the ball entered
the post and Aldrich fnished the
frst half with zero points and
zero rebounds for the frst time all
season.
If theyre smart, the Cowboys
will run a similar zone defense to
frustrate the big man on Saturday.
He isnt going to let you play
dead the whole game. Hes going
to make you feel that if you dont
pick it up, theres going to be
consequences.
Oklahoma State guard Terrell Harris on
coach Travis Ford
Lawrence is a tough place to
play. we have to go out and have
fun like we did tonight in the sec-
ond half, but do it for the whole 40
minutes.
Oklahoma State guard Byron Eaton
OKlAhOmA StAte
(9-10)
StArterS
Byron Eaton, 5-foot-11 senior guard
Eaton is the motor that runs coach Travis
Fords Cowboys. If he wasnt around this
team probably couldnt win a single confer-
ence game.

Terrel Harris, 6-foot-5 senior guard

Eaton scored eight of Oklahoma States
fnal 10 points against Texas Tech and it
was Harris who poured in the other crucial
points with 1:45 to play. Harris scored 22
points against the Red Raiders.

Obi Muonelo, 6-foot-5 junior guard

Muonelo is the leading rebounder on a team that doesnt
get to the glass well. He pulls down 8.8 boards per game and
also pours in 14.7 points per game. Hes the
Cowboys most balanced ofensive threat.

James Anderson, 6-foot-6 sophomore

guard
Anderson is an athletic freak who can
double as a forward in this diminutive
lineup. He won the Arkansas state high
jump twice and his 16.8 points per game
lead the Cowboys. Anderson also leads the
way with 20 blocks.

Marshall Moses, 6-foot-6 sophomore forward

In just his third start of the year, Moses exploded for 18
points against Texas Tech. Going into the game he averaged
4.8 points per game. Hes only 6-foot-6 but Moses is as good
as it gets for Oklahoma State in the post.

sIxTh man
Keiton Page, 5-foot-10 freshman
guard
No Big 12 player
looks like he belongs
in Division-I basket-
ball less than Page.
what the 168-pound
freshman lacks in
skill he makes up
for with scrap-
piness and
pimples.

Season starts 3-0, Svistuns style helps
BY JUSTIN HILLEY
jhilley@kansan.com
KU senior tennis player Yuliana
Svistun has a certain style of win-
ning. Since she joined the team in
the spring of 2006 as a freshman,
Svistun has been brandishing
her style for weeks at a time, even
months. And now she is doing it
again.
Im starting a streak right now
hopefully because I want to achieve
what I did my sophomore year. I
want to do that this year since its
my last year, Svistun said.
In the spring of 2007, Svistun
won seven consecutive singles
matches from Feb. 4 to March 10,
which was followed by another
streak (5-0) from April 1-18. In
addition, that fall she posted a
7-0 stretch in which she became
the 2007 Hoosier Classic Singles
Champion.
Last weekend, the Jayhawk
tennis team had three schools
UTEP, Drake and St. Louis pay
them a visit, and each one was sent
back home with another loss on
their record, resulting in a 3-0 start
(best since 2000) of the season. The
entire team contributed heavily to
Kansas weekend sweep as senior
Edina Horvath and sophomore
Maria Martinez also began their
streaks by going 3-0 in singles
matches and 2-1 in doubles.
The Jayhawks currently lead the
Big 12 standings with an overall
record of 3-0. This weekend they
will be shooting for 5-0 when they
encounter Illinois and Illinois-
Chicago in nonconference play in
Champaign, Ill.
So why is the Svistuns weekend
performance worthy of distinc-
tion? Svistun has two streaks in
progress: one is in singles (3-0) and
one is in doubles (3-0). And her
partner, freshman Kate Morozova,
has a lot to do with the latter.
We just like to play together.
We just played well. We were very
consistent for every ball. We had to
work, Morozova said.
The Russian duo compliments
one another not just with words,
but with court play.
Kate is really fun to play with. I
like to play with her because I like
the speed and she is really power-
ful, Svistun said.
The streaks are modest, but
when you consider Svistuns past,
you realize the modesty may
continue into March or perhaps
April.
Before her sophomore success
in 2007, Svistun created a jolt her
freshman year by winning her
first four singles matches and then
embarked on a doubles winstreak
(6-0) that lasted from January 28
to April 8, helping the squad to
an 11-6 dual match record during
that same time period. In 2008 she,
along with Horvath and junior
Kuni Dorn, assisted in achieving
KUs best conference record since
2002; all three had at least 10 dual
match victories.
When asked if her undefeated
singles streak will last this entire
season, Julie laughed - but not so
much to think it impossible.
Its gonna be fun. I think if I
stay at the number five position
its doable, but if coach decides to
move me up to four or three, its
gonna be a lot harder, she said.
Wherever Svistun plays, she and
the team will be doing it in style.
We have great practices and
great communication. The coaches
do a lot for us. For every practice,
they provide us with everything,
and that helps a lot too, Svistun
said.

Still, sandwiched between
Sutherlands two solid perfor-
mances was a freshman lapse.
Against Texas A&M last Saturday,
Sutherland played just 10 min-
utes because Henrickson said she
didnt possess the same energy and
intensity that made her so effective
against Kansas State.
In some games, Sutherland has
provided a spark on both ends of
the court. In others; she doesnt
appear completely focused, often
wandering on offense.
My anxiety level and my gray
hair ... I just wish shed be really
good in practice tomorrow, that
would help, Henrickson said. Its
pretty obvious early if shes with it
or not. It was pretty obvious early
she wasnt with it at A&M and pret-
ty obvious early (Wednesday) that
she had good focus and concentra-
tion.
After her impressive perfor-
mance in the Colorado game, con-
sistency became a key word for
Henrickson and teammates.
Im not surprised that she
played like that tonight, but its just
her consistency, junior forward
Danielle McCray said. Once she
keeps being consistent for us, thats
when were going to keep winning
games.
On Wednesday night, Sutherland
scored 10 points many on
put backs and grabbed four
rebounds in the second half. At
the time, Colorado was slicing into
Kansas lead, but Sutherlands bas-
kets helped reassert the Jayhawks.
Now, I think, Just get a
rebound, Sutherland said. The
game is that simple: get a rebound
and put it back up. Dont think too
much about a play, just play bas-
ketball.
Yet, for those times when
Sutherland needs a little direction,
Nicollette Smiths voice is often the
first she hears, shouting directions
or defensive assignments.
Her teammates stay on her
because they know shes good
enough to help us win, so they get
frustrated with her, Henrickson
said. She really responds to that in
a good way. She doesnt want to let
them down.
