Kansas faces Wichita State
BY CARNEZ WILLIAMS

Matt Shoreman steers his electric-powered wheelchair through the front doors of
his dorm and past the corner of 15th Street and Engel Road as he races down the hill
toward his 8 a.m. philosophy class in Wescoe 3140. It starts in 10 minutes.
As he crosses the intersection at 15th and Naismith, Matt, a sophomore from Hays,
pushes full speed toward the paved stretch between Budig and Marvin Halls only
five minutes away from Wescoe.
Matt motors up Wescoes wheelchair ramp, only to be foiled by a set of heavy glass
doors he cant open. This entrance has no handicap-accessible buttons or automatic
door openers, so he patiently waits outside, knowing he will be late unless someone
sees him and opens the door.
Although Matt has learned to cope with frustration, these moments remind him of
the price he pays to be a Jayhawk.
Matt became a partial quadriplegic after an accident on a playground damaged his
spine when he was 6 months old. Like Matt, students with physical disabilities at the
University face challenges in navigating hills and old buildings and getting to class
on time. The three students who have self-identified with KU Disability Resources as
having mobility problems dont reflect the total number of students who encounter
these barriers on campus.
For Carmen Thomas, who was born without arms, getting to class means having
to rely on a bus service that often makes her late to class. For Shannon Curry, who
is legally blind, that means getting lost on campus or being unable to find buildings,
offices and classrooms. For Brian Smith, who has cerebral palsy, it means attending
rigorous physical therapy twice a week just to cope with the physical strain of walking
to and from class.
Overcoming these problems seems as simple as providing more automatic door
openers, wheelchair entrances and a more efficient para transit service, but its com-
plicated by the states shrinking budget and the high cost of retrofitting buildings
protected by historic preservation, backlogged renovations and construction and the
steep topography of the campus. Photo by Howard Ting/KANSAN

Its mid-afternoon and Jessie
Dammans head is throbbing as
she struggles to see through her
itchy, watery eyes. Her blurred
vision, sneezing and headache
make concentrating on school dif-
ficult.
The last couple weeks Ive been
miserable, said Damman, a junior
from Topeka.
Damman usually manages her
spring allergies with over-the-
counter medications. But this
spring, her symptoms have been
much worse.
Usually Benadryl works, but
it hasnt recently, Damman said.
Ive been taking 12-hour Claritin
and it works for maybe four
hours.
Damman said shes allergic to
pollen and blooming trees.
Allergies are common in
springtime when flowers bloom
and fill the air with pollen. This
spring, however, pollen counts
are at record levels and causing
more severe symptoms, said Dr.
Warren Frick of Asthma, Allergy
& Rheumatology Associates in
Lawrence.
Typical pollen counts for this
time of year are between 80 and
100 particles per cubic meter.
Since the emergence of warm
weather, pollen counts have hit
a near historic high of 8,000
about 100 times higher than has
ever been recorded, Frick said.
Increased pollen particles cause
worse symptoms for those already
struggling with allergies. Others
have experienced symptoms for
the first time this spring.
Its higher right now than it has
been in a long time, Frick said.
Some patients feel like theyve
never had allergies before, and
bam! they just have it this year.
This is the worst allergy season
Frick has seen during his 20 years
of practice in Lawrence. He said
no one can predict the severity of
allergens in a given season, and
the drastic increase of pollen this
spring is relatively unknown.
Debbie Bolden, a nurse at
Watkins Memorial Health Center,
said one reason for the increase
could be the sudden change from
a really cold winter to tempera-
tures in the 70s and 80s.
Everything is flourishing,
Bolden said. The trees and plants
are all blooming at once and pro-
ducing pollen.

TREATmENTS
Because of the prevalence of
allergies throughout the year, a
variety of treatments, from shots
to over-the-counter medication,
are available to help reduce symp-
toms.
Bolden administers allergy
injections to severe allergy patients
at Watkins. She gives shots to
about 50 patients per week and
each patient receives between one
and five injections per visit. This
season Bolden has seen worse
reactions to shots with increased
allergens in the air.
Allergy shots are a form of
treatment for people with severe
allergies called immunotherapy, in
which a patient receives injections
with a small amount of the aller-
gens he or she is allergic to. The
shot does not contain enough to
result in an allergic reaction, but
just enough to trigger the patients
immune system.
They are getting a shot of what
they are allergic to and they are
also breathing the increased aller-
gens in the air, Bolden said. So we
have been seeing more reactions.
A mild reaction might be red-
ness, swelling or itching at the
injection site. A severe reaction
could result in hives, difficulty
breathing or swelling of the eyes
and lips.
It takes an average of five to
six years for the treatment to
develop a patients immune sys-
tem. Eventually, the patients body
may be able to fight off allergic
reactions and minimize symptoms
during allergy season.
Brian Wyrowski, a senior from
Olathe, has received allergy shots
since his senior year in high
school. Spring allergens trigger
his reactions, but he has benefited
from almost four years of immu-
notherapy.
It took a while to get to this
point, but this is the first year that
I havent really needed much medi-
cation, he said.
Wyrowski said he is allergic to
pollen and sometimes the pollen
injection he receives swells and
itches. But overall, he said, his
symptoms have decreased.
Bolden and Frick said the best
way to cope with this unusually
severe allergy season is avoidance.
Its hard to avoid the stuff, Frick
said. Unfortunately, its beautiful
outside, but stay inside with the
windows closed.
Several over-the-counter medi-
cations are also available to help
relieve mild symptoms, Frick said.
But he said if symptoms become
severe, the patient should see a doc-
tor and receive prescriptions such
as eye drops and nasal sprays.
As warm weather increases so
will other allergens, Frick said.
Tree season usually lasts from
mid-February through April, grass
season occurs from May to early
July, and late summer brings weeds
such as ragweed, which last until
the first solid freeze. Bolden said
rain provides temporary relief of
symptoms because it cleans the air
and rinses away pollen and other
allergens.
Wyrowski also suggested plac-
ing an ice pack over itchy eyes to
help reduce swelling and irritation.
However, allergies affect different
people in different ways, and there
is no broad cure or solution.
You just have to find the medi-
cine that works for you, Wyrowski
said.
Edited by Anna Archibald
with Wetland Learners, which
is supported by the Kaw Valley
Heritage Alliance, the Jayhawk
Audobon Society and the Lied
Center.
Anthea Scouffas, director of
education at the Lied Center,
said UKanTeach, a certificate
program that trains education
students in science and mathe-
matics, and other students from
the campus have been interested
and involved in the program this
semester.
The University students add
a special energy to the event,
Scouffas said.
Wetland Learners provides
two very important learning
experiences. While the second
graders learn about the life cycles
of bugs and plants, Archer, an
environmental studies major, and
other KU students learn about
education and small developing
minds.
For example, Lauren Ashman,
a junior from St. Louis, learned
how to break down informa-
tion for second graders. On
her discovery walks down the
banks of the wetlands, Ashman
had the students use their
five senses to explore.
What they couldnt find out
by touching or listening to, they
could ask Ashman.
They question a lot, but
at least they are inquisitive,
Ashman, an environmental stud-
ies major, said. Kids are like
sponges.
Wa t c h i n g
kids soak up
facts about
crawfish cas-
tles and pray-
ing mantises
r e i n f o r c e d
Ashmans plans
to become a
teacher. She
said she wants
to teach in an
outdoor set-
ting like the wetlands, not the
traditional classroom. So her dis-
covery walk today could become
a reoccurring adventure in her
future.
However, not all the students
helping want to teach in the
future.
Archer said she just likes being
able to volunteer and show 1,000
second graders the outdoors.
I asked what kind of animals
live out here, and I had one kid
say rhinoceroses because there
was land and water, Archer said.
Those things made sense.
Archer also helped the kids to
explore by telling them a story.
She told the group of six to close
their eyes and imagine with her
that they all
shrank to the
size of a bug.
Then, as the
excited imag-
inary bugs
opened their
eyes, Archer
told them
to inspect
all blades of
grass and
dirt around
them. Excited voices shouted out
things about grasshoppers and
twigs all new finds.
Its fun to see them curious
and looking closer, Archer said.
Now they know how to find
things out by themselves.

Matts day on the hill
Matt drives his custom wheel-
chair back down the Wescoe ramp
toward his next class in Budig Hall
his blue eyes fixed on the side-
walk before him as a tuft of his
blonde hair flies away fromhis fore-
head. His wheelchair motor hums in
the background.
Matts 500-pound black steel-
framed six-wheeler is capable of tilt-
ing him 45-degrees backward with
the sweep of the four-speed joystick
controller that rests in his left hand.
The low mechanical hum sounds
like air being sucked through a vac-
uum.
When campus sidewalks arent
covered in ice and it is not raining
(he cant use his wheelchair outside
in that weather), Matt cranks his
chair to full speed more than 8
miles per hour going to and from
class. Occasionally, he has to slow
down for passers-by as he makes his
way to anatomy class in Budig Hall.
There, he has to wait for someone
kind enough to open the door for
him.
In Budig 130, he parks his wheel-
chair in one of only two handicap-
accessible spots and reclines as he
waits for class to begin.
Like other students, Matt seems
to be taking a light snooze as the
professor lectures. He says hes really
taking mental notes, trusting that
his note-taker is jotting down the
rest.
nnn
Matts day begins at 6 a.m. withthe
low hum of his handicap-accessible
door opening as Megan Ollendieck,
one of his four personal care assis-
tants, enters his room to get him
dressed and prepared for the day.
The two work together to strap
Matts arms and legs into a harness
that is affixed to his wooden frame
above his bed.
An electronic controller hoists
Matt out of bed and into a rolling
shower chair made of plastic tubes
and mesh that resembles a foldout
lawn chair.
Ollendieck removes his pajamas,
rolls him into the bathroom for a
shower and helps himwash.
She turns off the water, dries Matt
off, wraps a towel around him and
then rolls him back to the harness
that lifts him into the bed. There,
Ollendieck dresses Matt and helps
himback into his wheelchair.
Matt rolls to the bathroom where
Ollendieck puts the toothbrush in
his right hand, which he then press-
es against his left palm and glides
the bristles back and forth against
his gums and teeth.
Ollendieck combs his hair, and
the hour-long process of getting
ready for the day is complete.
Eating allows Matt more inde-
pendence, despite the limited dex-
terity of his fingers and hands.
He uses Velcro to attach the
spoon or fork to his left hand and
then clamps the utensils against his
right hand, stabs his food and care-
fully raises it to his mouth.
Although his fork-gripping har-
ness makes eating easier, Matt still
has difficulty with foods that are too
loose or too soft like rice and soup.
Mrs. Es Dining Hall staff mem-
bers help by scooping food onto
his plate and cutting it into smaller
pieces.
Matts light grip makes pick-
ing up a glass virtually impossible.
Instead, he takes a swig from the
blue mouthpiece that rests between
his forearm and bicep. The mouth-
piece is attached to a straw-like tube
that extends froma water bag hang-
ing from the back of his wheelchair.
If his tube falls off his arm, he has to
ask someone to pick it up and put it
on his arm so he can nudge it up to
his mouth.
If you can do it, try to do it,
he explains. But if you need to
do something or get somewhere
quickly, asking for a helping hand is
not a problem.
A simple trip to the bathroom
requires a bit more time and per-
sonal assistance.
Urinating is something Matt man-
ages on his own, thanks to a tube
connected to his bladder through
an opening just beneath his navel.
The tube feeds a storage bag that is
attached with Velcro to his right leg.
Its hidden underneath his clothing.
The bag collects urine, and Matt
can empty it himself by aiming the
drainage tube into a toilet and flip-
ping a small release switch on his
wheelchair.
Matt says he chooses not to drain
his bag on campus, not because he
cannot access the bathrooms, but
because he prefers to pee in private.
Occasionally, Matts bladder bag
gets so full the release switch doesnt
work. If that happens, he telephones
Sabolil Chakraborty, a friend and
resident assistant in a nearby resi-
dence hall, who helps empty his bag
manually.
Matt often jokes about using his
leg bag in pickup lines.
Hey baby, why dont you come
over here and help me drain my
leg bag? he jokes. Who else could
come up with that?
CarMens life
without arMs
Carmen Thomas, 19, a sopho-
more from Olathe, finally arrives
10 minutes late to her 8 a.m. class
in Fraser Hall, after waiting sev-
eral minutes for the bus. When she
reaches Fraser, no one is in the hall
to open the door for her. Its not the
first time shes been late.
She parks outside the classroom
door in her wheelchair. She asked
the professor to keep the door open,
but she must have forgotten again.
She moves her head back and forth,
hoping someone will catch a glimpse
of her and let her in.
After several minutes of motion-
ing, someone finally sees her and
opens the door.
Carmen asks a classmate to pull
out her notebook behind her chair
and place it on the table in front of
her. She reaches in her pink Coach
purse, bites down on the clear plas-
tic tube fitted over her pencil eraser,
and begins jotting down notes with
her mouth.
Because parking her wheelchair-
accessible van on campus can cost
more than $200 per year in some
lots and handicapped parking spac-
es are scarce, Carmen rides Jaylift
a service offered to permanently
and temporarily disabled students.
The bus picks students up 20 min-
utes before their classes. But that
doesnt leave Carmen enough time
to return to the dorms in time for
lunch between classes.
This year, Jaylift received more
than $182,757 in student fees, nearly
8 percent of KU Transits budget.
MVTransportation, the company
that runs Jaylift, reported an on-
time performance rate of 94 percent
for last January and February. That
includes a total of 21 late rides in
February out of 354 rides, according
to an e-mail from Mike Sweaton,

Being late dont seem to faze
Carmen. Just being a Jayhawk is a
dreamcome true.
Her brown eyes and bright
smile seem to light up beneath her
shoulder-length brown hair as she
explains how much she loves KU
and Kansas basketball. Shes missed
only one game in two years.

Carmen was born with bilateral
amelia, a disease that left her with-
out arms. Some victims also lose
their legs. Doctors diagnosed her
with the disease 13 days before she
was born. She has no arms and has
shorter legs that allow her to walk
short distances.
Carmens day begins around 8:30
a.m. when she literally rolls out of
bed and walks to the bathroom
where Sabrina Stadel, her personal
care assistant and roommate, helps
with her morning routine.
Sabrina squeezes a pearl-size drop
of toothpaste onto a toothbrush and
places it between the first two toes
on Carmens right foot. She glides
it across her teeth and gums with a
sweeping motion.
After both roommates are dressed
and ready for class, which takes
more than an hour because Carmen
likes to be fashionable and is picky
about what she wears, the two head
to Mrs. Es where Sabrina feeds
Carmen breakfast. Carmen can feed
herself with her feet, but she opts
for help in public. She says its more
polite than taking off her shoes in
the cafeteria.
Carmen types on her computer,
pushes buttons to open doors and
sends text messages with the help
of her mouthstick, a piece of plastic
on top of a short rod fitted with a
rubber cap.
Everything in her dorm room
fromsinks and faucets to doorknobs
and cabinet fixtures have been low-
ered so Carmen, who stands about 3
feet tall, can reach them. The room
was customfitted for her.
To exercise, Carmen rolls over the
side of her wheelchair and onto the
plum-colored velvet couch in her
room and onto the floor, where she
walks on both legs. She occasionally
does Tae-Bo, which is similar to kick
boxing.
Before she came to the University,
her doctors and parents worried
about the physical challenges this
campus would pose.
Everyday, Carmen embraces that
challenge and demonstrates that
through her writing. She started
writing with her mouth in kinder-
garten, and she began writing short
stories and later fiction and poetry.
She says her greatest work is a
poem about her life without arms

Howard Ting/KANSAN
Carnez Williams, a senior fromWichita, uses an old two-door elevator to
access the third foor of Lippincott Hall. However, the elevator is not located
in Lippincott, and he had to enter a building behind Lippincott to access the
elevator. That building is then connected to Lippincott through a skyway.
H
earing about matts struggles to enter build-
ings on campus, carmens troubles with Jaylift,
Shannons wrong turn and Brians battle with
the terrain challenged me to viewaccessibility in ways I
previously had not.
As an able-bodied person, I have been privileged
to move about without thinking about the physical
barriers that stand in the way of the disabled. Being in
a wheelchair for a day was a way for me to understand,
only in part, the challenges of being physically disabled
at this University.
Within just a fewhours of being in a wheelchair, I
notice howmuch more efort everyday tasks took to
accomplish.
Breakfast is anything but fast.
It takes extra time to reach the fruit baskets, cereal dis-
pensers and juice taps that tower above me in mrs. Es.
Getting food to my table becomes a balancing act: one
plate on my lap, one drink between my knees.
After eating, I move toward the wheelchair ramp
near the entrance and try to propel myself up. I move
a couple feet before I realize the ramp is too steep to
climb, but I want the full experience. I want to know
what its like to be disabled.
I try the ramp, again, without success. A friend ofers
to push me. I do not want himto, but the incline is so
steep that I accept his ofer. I push the handicap-accessi-
ble door opener on the way out. I can do that myself.
I pull up to the line and wait to catch the bus. I move
toward the open bus door and wait for the driver to
release the wheelchair ramp. He doesnt see me. I yell up
at him, Hey, I need on!
He fips a switch and reduces the air pressure in the
tires. The ramp kneels in front of me. I push myself up
the narrowramp.
The bus driver clears the way for me to roll through
the aisle to the wheelchair-accessible seat.
People stare. Heat envelops my face and hands. Im
embarrassed. People on the bus knowImable-bodied.
The bus driver gets out of his seat to buckle me in. He
fumbles with my belt and chair looking for the overhead
buckle. People sigh and look annoyed. The bus is nearly
full, and students are still climbing on. Leaving for cam-
pus takes longer than usual.
Just hours into my venture on campus my hands
begin to cramp, my arms are sore frompushing myself
forward, my butt aches fromsitting in the chair so long
and my feet and legs began start going numb fromnot
being used. The physical strain of rolling myself around
campus is made worse by my blistering palms, jammed
fngers and stif wheels. Such inconveniences are sur-
passed only by my encounters with uneven sidewalks,
manual doors I cannot open, having people stare at my
struggles and having to ask perfect strangers for help.
of these, asking for help is the toughest. I can be
somewhat proud, and stepping outside my comfort
zone to ask others for help is not part of my plan. That is,
until I run into nick Ratlif, who in part inspired this story.
Imrolling across Wescoe toward Budig when I meet
nick, who has spina bifda and is in a wheelchair. I tell
himabout my attempt to spend a day in a wheelchair.
He asks me howits going. Tougher than I thought, I
tell him. I explain howmy hands are throbbing, my arms
ache and my legs are numb. He shows me his hands.
Theyre bright red with blisters and covered in dirt. He
says hes used to it.
Before we part ways, I ask himif he has any advice for
me. Ask for help whenever you can, he says. Ironically,
Ive avoided that all day.
Indeed, nicks advice helps me get through the day.
I begin asking perfect strangers to push me up steep
inclines and corroded curb cuts and to open doors I
cannot.
Even so, by the end of the day, I was exhausted.
I catch the bus back to Daisy Hill and brave the stretch
of sidewalk leading up to my dorm. my hands are throb-
bing, sore to the touch, my arms feel like theyre going
to fall of. my whole body is aching.
The last stretch of sidewalk fromthe bus stop to my
dormlooks more like the last 100 meters of some great
marathon than just slabs of concrete. once in my room
I stand up, stretch my legs and walk away frommy
wheelchair. All I can think about are those students who
cannot.

brians day:
one steP at a tiMe
Brian Smith, a 23-year-old senior
fromOklahoma City who has cere-
bral palsy, calculates each step in
an effort to balance his body and
propel himself forward right
foot down, left toe out, right insole
down.
He tries pushing his heel down
manually, but he eventually relies
on the click of a button connected
to an electronic device strapped to
his leg just below the knee that does
it for him.
Brian, who stands about 5-foot-
5 with knees facing inward and
his back hunched slightly forward,
deliberately moves to put one foot
in front of the other.
From beneath a red and white
KU cap that covers his dark brown
hair and shades his thick pre-
scription glasses, Brian explains
that each movement feels tighter
than the average persons. Brian,
who was diagnosed after suffer-
ing a brain hemorrhage at birth,
has extreme stiffness in his muscles
just one neurological disorder
affecting those with cerebral palsy,
according to the National Center
for Neurological Disorders and
Stroke. It restricts his movements
but is not degenerative, as long as
Brian attends physical therapy.
Traveling to and from class on a
daily basis is problematic for Brian,
given the effort that goes into just
stretching his muscles enough so he
doesnt have to walk on his toes or
trip over his own feet.
His roommates help with some
everyday tasks, such as tying his
shoes or buttoning his shirts.
nnn
For Brian, just putting one foot in
front of the other requires rigorous
training.
Every Monday and Friday, Brian
visits Marc Hunley, his Lawrence-
based physical therapist of four
years.
Brian lies face up on a cold brown
massage table, as Hunley grabs his
hand and stretches it as far away
from his body as it will go without
injuring him. The process is mildly
painful, and by the end, Brians
hand is tired.
He pulls Brians leg up and over
his shoulder, the other remains flat
on the table. Hunley then puts his
hand on Brians chest and extends
his left arm 45 degrees away from
his torso to increase the range of
motion in his arm.
Thats a light day for Brian. His
most excruciating sessions include
about 25 minutes on a treadmill.
Some days hes so exhausted after
therapy that his roommates have to
drive himhome.
To ease some physical challenges,
Brian has a note-taker for several
of his classes. He requests separate
and extended time on exams and
occasionally asks people to help
himcarry books and bags.
Brian also uses a computer
device that functions like a printer
to write out his exams. The device
connects to his desktop and prints
his essays as Word documents. For
tests, Brian circles the answers, and
professors fill in the bubbles on the
Scantron sheet.
Technology helps him in the
classroom and remedies part of the
physical strain posed by campus
topography. The combination of
Brians limited dexterity, uneven
sidewalks and steep inclines have
occasionally caused Brian to fall or
drop things, but hes learned to play
it cool when that happens.
The runningjoke withhis friends:
Hes drunk during the day.
Though he remembers when
the jokes directed at him were not
funny being made fun of and
being treated as if he were mentally
challenged hes nowable to laugh
at himself and stay positive.
Im not a person with a disabil-
ity. Im just Brian, he said. Thats
all Ill ever be.
shannon loses her
way
After Jaylift dropped her off on
campus for her first day of class,
Shannon Curry, a nontraditional
student from Lawrence, stepped
off the bus and into an unfamiliar
world of dim light and shadows.
She attended new student orienta-
tion and heard the mobility instruc-
tors directions on how to get to her
class in Wescoe.
But actually getting there was
another story. She stepped onto
Wescoe Beachwhere Jaylift dropped
her off and began feeling her way,
tapping her cane along the sidewalk
toward what she thought was the
entrance to Wescoe. But Shannon
really had no clue where she was.
Luckily, a good Samaritan point-
ed her to the right classroom.
Shannon worries shell veer off
the wrong path again, only next
time down the steep stairs near
Wescoe.
Shannon, 28, sees only light and
shadows. She was born with leber
congenital amaurosis, an inher-
ited retinal degenerative disorder
that causes severe loss of vision at
birth, according to the Foundation
Fighting Blindness. Shannon is the
only one in her family with the
disorder.
Not being able to find her way
from one end of campus to the
other disappointed her. She is more
comfortable, mobile and indepen-
dent in her cozy apartment, where
she and her roommate, who is
in a wheelchair, share household
responsibilities.
Im not worried about bumping
into something in my apartment,
she said. I know where the obsta-
cles are there.
Outside her apartment, Shannon
uses her cane as a feeler. With her
red and white 5-foot cane extended
in front of her, Shannon taps along
the sidewalk feeling for objects
ahead.
For regular routes, she memo-
rizes the terrain, but that can be
complicated by crowds of students
on the sidewalks.
She knows the routes to her class-
es and the location of one bathroom
and a vending machine in Wescoe.
She can walk to the Hy-Vee grocery
store fromher apartment.
Although she occasionally gets
lost, Shannon said having people
pull her cane or physically point her
in the right direction frightens her.
If someone grabs it, there goes
that, she said. Now Im relying on
you to make sure I dont fall down
the stairs or something.
nnn
Shannon loves to read. She con-
sumes any literature she can cram
into her audio device science fic-
tion, romance and fantasy any-
thing to escape the drudgery of
studying for classes.
Online resources that dont pro-
vide full text articles frustrate her,
and databases that use only pic-
tures are virtually impossible for
Shannon to decipher even with a
screen reader.
Her tasks are further complicated
because she does not use all of the
aids offered to her. She types her
papers and projects on her comput-
er from memorization and chooses
not to use Braille textbooks, which
can take up several volumes. She
relishes the opportunity to demon-
strate her independence.
She left the watchful eye of her
parents to live in an apartment
in Lawrence. She even moved to
Virginia to seek full-time work,
only to be turned away by employ-
ers who she says were unwilling to
let her show what she can do.
Like Shannon, other students
with physical disabilities contin-
ue to succeed on a campus not
designed for it.
Take Matt, whose scooter can get
him to Wescoe on time, only to be
thwarted by a door he cant open.
Or take Carmen, whose ride on
Jaylift gets her to class, but late and
with a closed door still in her way.
Or Brian who relies on a note-
taker to give his sore and tired
muscles a break and whose legs
struggle to conquer a steep hill just
to get to class.
While these and other accom-
modations help provide access
to a KU education, the stories of
Matt, Carmen, Brian, Shannon
and others like them demonstrate
that accessibility means more than
just removing architectural, land-
scape and transportation barriers.
It means finding ways for these
students to be independent, to do
things for themselves, to feel abled
rather than disabled.
As Shannon puts it, I dont like
to rely on other people if I can do
it myself.

Mount oread disables
The very traditions and the alma mater of this University
trumpet the beauty of the hills. The terrain is the biggest
challenge to the Universitys eforts to be more accessible to
students with disabilities.
campus rests atop mount oread, which is 1,030 feet above
sea level compared with surrounding altitudes of about 900
feet. The diference in elevation between the highest point on
campus at Fraser Hall and the lowest near memorial Stadium
is about 80 feet, the height of an eight-story building.
But topography is just one of many factors hindering access.
old buildings present tremendous barriers for physically
disabled students.
Bailey, Dyche, Lippincott, Strong and Spooner halls are all
registered with the national Register of Historic Places, and
they are among the buildings that pose the biggest chal-
lenges for the disabled.
Although the University has plans to improve access to
Lippincott and other historic buildings, one of the major hin-
drances to retroftting is historic preservation.
An even more daunting problemis the lack of money to pay
for the maintenance and renovation of older buildings and a
backlog of requests.
As of 2008, University buildings are in need of nearly $200
million in repairs leaky roofs, fabric-covered wires, century-
old plumbing and crumbling facades. none of these problems
will be fxed until the state budget improves, said Jimmodig,
the director of the design and construction department.
This year, the University received $14.8 million for construc-
tion and maintenance compared with $15.4 million last year.
The University needs more than $20 million to maintain its 150
buildings and other campus facilities, according to modig.
Weve been real fortunate in that weve had federal stimu-
lus funding, modig said. Thats been a tremendous help.
Dwindling state funds have forced the design and construc-
tion department to operate in what modig calls crisis mode,
meaning that only the highest priority construction projects
will be addressed this year. making sure the University is com-
pliant is near the top of that list.
modig estimated the University has spent more than $5
million on updates since 1992 that comply with the Americans
with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination in hous-
ing, education and employment against people with disabili-
ties. That does not account for all ADA expenditures at kU.
Steve Ramirez, kUs ADA coordinator, regularly receives
complaint calls about building accessibility. An informal com-
plaint is a phone call or e-mail. Ramirez said only two formal
complaints have been fled in the past fve years, both by kU
employees with work-related grievances.
Improving services to physically disabled students is also
high on kU Parking andTransits agenda.
Donna Hultine, director of the parking department, said
she planned to increase the number of handicap-accessible
parking spaces on campus and curb the paratransits inef-
fciencies by creating a newadvisory board, made up of eight
to 10 people representing students, faculty and community
members. The advisory board would provide a voice for ADA
complaints.
That idea came fromAbleHawks, a student disability advo-
cacy group. It was brought to Hultines attention that more
parking spots were marked accessible than were actually
available. A study conducted by the group found that of the
406 spots marked accessible on campus, only 259 were ADA
compliant.
Thats something Hultine says she and the advisory board
plan to fx. Redistributing the spots would put more handicap-
accessible and van-accessible spaces on campus, making it
easier for students with disabilities to get to and fromclass
without climbing campus steep terrain.
Its good to have AbleHawks come in and say, Youre not
doing it right, Hultine said. Its our intention to do it right.

PASADENA, Calif. Jeremy
Wade is full of fish stories, only hes
not exaggerating when he describes
his latest catch.
Wade is a big-game angler
constantly in search of freshwater
monsters that make sharks seem as
docile as dolphins.
The host of Animal Planets River
Monsters plies his skill with heavy
fishing equipment and a passion, he
admits, that borders on obsession.
The British-born Wade began
fishing for carp. There was a lot of
mystique surrounding them. They
were supposed to be hard to catch.
But while this was happening, fish-
ing was becoming much more pop-
ular generally and because it was a
small country generally and more
people interested, it became less of
an escape.
In India he began to hunt for
a fish called a mahseer. He wrote
some articles about that battle,
which led to working as a part-time
journalist and a copywriter. A zool-
ogy graduate, he also taught biology
for a while. For 15 years he would
trek to some exotic location, try to
snag some scaly Sasquatch for three
months and return to his erratic
day jobs.
It took me six years going to the
Amazon, three months at a time, to
actually track down the arapaima,
he says. Thats commonly said to
be the biggest fresh-water fish in the
world. Nobody knows for sure, but a
lot of people think so.
Wade, 54, always fishes in fresh
water. Theres less mystery in the
sea than there is in fresh water, he
says. If you look at television theres
lots of documentaries on whales,
on coral reefs, the deep oceanic
trenches. Theres loads of stuff. But
as soon as you look for anything
about fresh water, the information is
very sketchy.

LOS ANGELES Think of
Nick Fury as the spy who came in
from credits.
During the making of the first
Iron Man, Samuel L. Jackson was
invited to film a quick scene in
the role as a tag, the name for
those short (and often funny or
sequel-suggesting) snippets of film
that roll after the credits. The Fury
tag was especially fun because in
Marvel Comics, the modern incar-
nation of spy-chief Fury was in fact
modeled after Jackson which
made the Iron Man after-credit
scene one of the most memorable
ever, right up there with Ferris
Buellers Day Off and Napoleon
Dynamite.
The tag also turned out to be
one heck of a
job audition, for
Jackson signed a
nine-movie deal
with Marvel
Studios to make
his fictional
espionage czar
the unifying
crossover char-
acter as Marvel
moves forward
with the plan to
interlock all of its superhero films.
The idea was just to do this tag,
and we thought it would be really
fun to get Sam since the comics
version of Fury is based on him,
said Iron Man and Iron Man
2 director Jon
Favreau. Now
its become
much more
than that. In the
film, he has a
significant role
and becomes
the entry point
to connect Tony
Stark to the
agency called
S . H. I . E. L. D.
and, thereby, the rest of the Marvel

INDIO, Calif. Parking at the
Stagecoach festival was a journey
to the dark side for all concerned
this weekend.
Even a musician of Merle
Haggards stature got caught in the
fracas, his bus pulling in about an
hour behind schedule to the area in
back of the Palomino Stage, where
he would play later in the evening.
But the esteemed singer and
songwriter was relaxed when I
caught up with him on the bus.
Haggards new album I Am
What I Am came out last week,
and he spoke about the intimate
tone of many of the homespun
songs. Theres no flash, little out-
ward fire in the gentle collection.
Its pretty personal, Haggard,
73, said. Theres not a lot of poli-
tics. I guess its a little more from
the heart than the last few albums.
Theres a sweetly reflective
remembrance about growing up in
Bakersfield, Oil Tanker Train; a
song about his home in Northern
California, Down at the End of the
Road; and a bittersweet observa-
tion that love is Pretty When Its
New.
The one exception to the
general tone of songs of the heart
and hearth is Ive Seen It Go
Away, the new albums lead track.
Without throwing barbs, he gently
but sadly notes how the best of
what defines America to its citizens
and the rest of the world has, over
time, gone away.
Is the man famously proud to
be an Okie from Muskogee get-
ting disillusioned with the land hes
loved for so long?
Some people might say that, he
said. Maybe I am, he added with a
little chuckle. But I think there are
some people who are going to agree
with it, too.

OpinionTHE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
tuEsDAy, ApRiL 27, 2010 www.kAnsAn.com
pAGE 7A
A
s I write this column I am
about 20 thousand feet
in the sky fying toward
Chicago Midway Airport. From
Kansas City, this is a journey
that used to take an entire day
to complete. Now its a quick 45
minutes, or, approximately one
gossip magazine.
Flying by myself, Ive gotten to
thinking about airplane etiquette
and how passengers should
behave to make traveling as bear-
able as possible. What exactly
is airplane etiquette? Where is
the line drawn between being
an annoying fight-mate and a
conscientious one?
Lets start with what airplane
etiquette is not. It is not falling
asleep, leaning to the side and
breathing on the poor person
who unwisely chose the next
seat. It is not forcing someone to
talk when they have other things
to accomplish and are obviously
not in the mood to converse. Its
not using others space for your
belongings, blaring music on an
iPod at an unreasonable level or
getting wasted on the plane with
strangers.
Basically, its not any of the
things that would be annoying in
regular, everyday life. Te rules
of plane etiquette should be com-
mon sense. But, if they were, I
wouldnt have to address them in
this column.
Tere are aspects of airplane
etiquette that are up for debate.
Te one that frst comes to mind
is whether it is right or wrong to
recline an airplane seat.
It is my opinion that unless it
is an international, seven-plus
hour fight, there is no reason any
person needs to recline his or her
chair. Reclining passenger chairs
creates an adverse chain reac-
tion. If the person in front of me
reclines his chair, I ultimately feel
smushed and want more space.
To compensate, I recline my chair,
where the person behind me
likely comes to the same
conclusion I did only moments be-
fore. Te best defense against this
domino efect of discomfort is not
to recline your seat to begin with.
I get it. Some people are more
comfortable with a reclined seat,
but I suppose Ive never really
seen that much of a diference
when my chair sits an inch and a
half farther back. I have, however,
surely noticed a diference when
my knees are forced up against
the chair. And Im relatively
short! I cant imagine what this
scenario is like for someone more
than six feet tall.
Another classic air travel prob-
lem: When mothers and fathers
allow unruly children to interrupt
an otherwise peaceful fight. In
this case, let it go. Honestly, even
if there is a baby crying or little
girl throwing a tantrum, I have
the option of not having to deal
with it as soon as the airplane has
landed. Tose parents deal with
the stresses of their child 24 hours
a day. Although I dont have any
children of my own, Im sure
an inconsolable child is already
plenty embarrassing for parents.
Why be a jerk and add to the
problems by throwing in a snarky
comment?
As with all matters of etiquette,
airplane manners are about being
considerate of others and main-
taining a consciousness to what
makes fellow passengers most
comfortable. With a little efort,
everyone can enjoy their travels
together before parting ways for
their fnal destinations.

Pursue goals despite cynicism
W
ith the departure of
Scott Weiss, successful
director of the March-
ing Jayhawks, to a more presti-
gious job at South Carolina, the
student body has to wonder: Why
are these great educators leaving?
It is understandable why a
professor or faculty member might
leave the University for a more
prestigious or lucrative position at
another institution, but we wish
that such great staf would stay.
In the three years under Weisss
direction, the Marching Jayhawks
grew by 73 members, improved
collaboration with the Athletics
Department and networked with
high school bands across Kansas.
But Weiss isnt the frst member
of the Jayhawk faculty to recently
announce resignation from the
University.
Karl Brooks, a well-known
associate professor of history
and environmental studies, was
appointed by President Obama to
lead Region Seven of the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency, to
direct operations in Iowa, Kansas,
Missouri, Nebraska, and nine
Tribal Nations, the EPA main site
reads.
Brooks has taught thousands of
students in the school of law, Col-
lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences
and graduate studies. His classes
range from environmental law to
American legal history and Ameri-
can culture and politics.
Te Lawrence Journal World
reported on Feb. 1 that he plans to
return to the University when his
post is up, afer Obamas tenure in
ofce, and we hope he does.
William Tsutsui, associate dean
for international studies, is
leaving the University to take
the position of dean of Dedman
College at Southern Methodist
University in Dallas. Tsutsui is a
scholar and instructor in Japanese
history.
Te Dallas Morning News
reported that Tsutsui will begin his
job at SMU on July 1.
Students should wish Weiss and
Tsutsui good luck with what ap-
pears to be bright careers. And we
hope Brooks decides that a return
to the University afer his post is a
plan for the near future.
Te loss of these educators will
be felt on campus. Teir respective
departments now need to concern
themselves with how to replace
such renowned instructors and
continue to provide students with
a quality education.

University to feel the loss
of some faculty members
eTiqueTTe
I
ll be the frst to admit it: I am
one of the many hope-to-do-
good-for-mankind students
here at our University.
Some people enjoy laughing at
or patronizing naively idealistic
young people, such as myself. It is
easy to get discouraged listening to
disparaging cynicism.
Ten, every once in a while,
something or someone comes
along to remind us why we cling
to our dreams.
Near the beginning of April,
Jody Williams, who won the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1997 for her work
with the International Campaign
to Ban Landmines, visited the
University.
Williams is a force to be reck-
oned with on the activist scene.
Not only did she do fantastic work
that earned her the Nobel Prize,
but she continues to work on nu-
merous campaigns. She founded
the Nobel Womens Initiative,
which consists of six of the seven
living women who have won the
Nobel Peace Prize. (An San Suu
Kyi is not an active member, be-
cause of her house imprisonment
in Myanmar for her role in the
Burmese Democracy Movement.)
Tis group of women is a united
front that uses the individuals
experiences in activism and peace-
making to further promote eforts
for peace and justice.
Te most fascinating thing I
found about Williams was her
immense success in grass roots
campaigning. She didnt start out
with a lot of money or power. She
was just a normal person with a
passion for helping people and
protecting human rights.
Seeing an average person ac-
complish great things in the name
of human rights can serve as an
inspiration for every student at our
University. When telling her story,
Williams encouraged students by
saying that it doesnt take a genius
or a millionaire to make a difer-
ence in the world. It all starts with
caring about something and then
doing something about it.
Williams came to campus as
part of the Center for Community
Outreachs Into Te Streets Week,
a string of activities dedicated to
getting students more involved in
volunteering in the community.
Sometimes people underes-
timate the efect of community
service or grassroots campaigning.
In truth, community service is so
much more than a resume-builder.
It increases awareness about com-
munity issues among volunteers
and demonstrates the importance
of helping others. Volunteers have
contributed a great deal to the or-
ganizations they help. And where
else can a movement begin than at
the grassroots level, in the hands of
the people?
Williams began her activist
work at a meeting in a church
basement. It does not matter what
you are passionate about; her story
serves an important lesson. If you
care and are willing to try, chances
are you will do something worth
being proud of.

dodging the draft isnt
matter of skirting duty
A mix of emotions and thoughts
flled my mind as I read the letter
titled, No pride in draf dodg-
ing, which was published on
April 22.
Besides the initial shock, I
couldnt decide whether to be of-
fended or just disappointed by the
seemingly skewed view the author
has on history and his country.
Te letter expressed the authors
disapproval of how draf dodgers
were positively portrayed in Te
Kansans look at campus culture
during the 70s.
Te author believes the U.S.
backed out of Vietnam due to an
apparent, absolute failure of our
leadership to lead us to a path
of clear victory. As if there was
some obvious goal or enemy to
defeat, some straight line on a
map with a big x that said Get
here and win the war!
Te reason the U.S. failed in
Vietnam is because the soldiers
were fghting for something that
could never be won.
Practically the entire civilian
population of South Vietnam
wanted to become part of North
Vietnam, a communist state. Te
Vietnamese saw Americans as
enemies because they were trying
to impress their beliefs on them.
But, because the U.S. had a
political anti-communist agenda,
we stayed and tried to force some-
thing that the majority of the
population did not want. Afer
a while, our government was so
far in and so many had died that
it could not easily back out. Tis
is why the war continued on far
longer than it should have.
Te draf dodgers of the 70s
saw the inhumanity of the battle
the U.S. was fghting and they had
the courage to stand up against
their government for something
they believed in.
Tese people risked their own
freedom in hopes of ensuring the
freedom of others. Despite what
the letters author may think, this
is something to be proud of and
retold because of its historical and
cultural signifcance. Our country
was founded by people with
similar courage; they disagreed
with their government and did
something about it.
A true patriot is not a blind fol-
lower, but a person who questions
the actions of his government
to ensure that the opinions of its
people are properly represented.

Controversy surrounds Kansas prescription drug trial
AssociAted Press
WICHITA Prosecutors plan
to portray a Kansas doctor at his
trial as the candy man who ille-
gally provided painkillers to drug-
addicted patients to boost his
bottom line. Meanwhile, defense
attorneys claim hes a compassion-
ate health care provider who gave
high doses to chronic pain suf-
ferers because
thats what they
needed.
Jury selection
started Monday
for what could be
a two-month trial
for Dr. Stephen
Schneider and his
wife and nurse
Linda Schneider.
The couple is
charged with illegally prescribing
drugs linked to dozens of deaths,
but theyve found champions in a
national patient advocacy group
that claims federal prosecutions
have made doctors so reluctant to
prescribe drugs that patients suffer
needlessly.
The Schneiders are charged with
conspiring to illegally dispense pre-
scription drugs, defrauding health
insurance programs and patients
and money laundering. They face
four counts of illegally prescrib-
ing drugs that
cont r i but ed
to 21 deaths,
but court
d o c u me nt s
tie them to 47
other deaths
as well.
In a sweep-
ing indict-
ment, the
government
claims the 56-year-old doctor, who
was also known as Schneider the
writer, peddled drugs to make
money, sometimes giving prescrip-
tions to patients who had already
overdosed on the same medica-
tions. The indictment describes
his clinic as a pill mill that was
open 11 hours a day every day
and scheduled patients 10 minutes
apart.
Schneider ignored warning
signs that patients were abusing,
diverting or becoming addicted to
medications, and his clinic did not
change its practices despite patients
deaths, the indictment said. Linda
Schneider, 52, forged her husbands
name on prescriptions and bragged
to job applicants that the clinic
wrote more narcotics scripts than
any other in the state, it said.
The Schneider Medical Clinic
was a sprawling medical facility
with 14 exam rooms, a Mexican
decor with two water fountains
and sky dome in the lobby. But the
indictment said it was poorly run,
with medical records often missing
or incomplete and inexperienced
physician assistants receiving little
supervision.
Defense attorneys, however,
described the clinic as state-of-the-
art and the couple as devoted health
care profession-
als who provid-
ed medical ser-
vices the com-
munity needed.
They deny the
S c h n e i d e r s
caused any
deaths, and
L a w r e n c e
Wi l l i a ms on,
the attorney
for Stephen Schneider, said fed-
eral prosecutors have unfairly por-
trayed him as an evil person.
He is not. He is a human who
has been affected by the govern-
ment overreaching in this case,
Williamson said.
The Schneiders have received
support from the New Mexico-
based Pain Relief Network, a non-
profit patient advocacy group cre-
ated to help lawyers protect doc-
tors against prosecutions that it
describes as government persecu-
tion. The group
says federal
p r o s e c ut o r s
have made
many doctors
afraid to pre-
scribe the high
doses many
chronic pain
patients need
to lead normal
lives.
The groups president, Siobhan
Reynolds, is the subject of a sepa-
rate grand jury investigation for
alleged conspiracy because of her
involvement with the Schneider
case. Her initial refusal to turn
over e-mails and other subpoenaed
documents led to a contempt cita-
tion and $36,500 in fines before
she relented and turned over the
material.
Win, lose or draw, she said
before the trial started, I know
that these lawyers gave it all they
had, this family gave it all it had,
and I and my family gave it all we
had. And you just cant do better
than that.
U.S. Attorneys office spokesman
Jim Cross declined to comment
other than to say the governments
case will be laid out during its
opening statement.
Larry Wall, a malpractice attor-
ney who represents the families of
several of the Schneiders patients,
declined to comment as the case
went to trial. But he said the nation,
overall, has been flooded with nar-
cotics in the past 10 years.
I think that would argue against
the proposition that doctors are
afraid to prescribe, he said.
The couple is charged
with illegally prescribing
drugs linked to dozens of
deaths.
The indictment describes
his clinic as a pill mill
that was open 11 hours a
day every day and sched-
uled patients 10 minutes
apart.

The need for a short-term
memory crosses the boundaries of
nearly every sport.
A pitcher who gets battered
around needs to take his lumps,
swallow his pride and focus on the
next time he takes the mound.
Tonight against Wichita State,
Kansas (25-16-1, 6-8-1) pitching
staff is aiming for a rebound per-
formance after Texas Tech bat-
tered it for 32 runs in two games
over the weekend.
Im sure our pitchers are anx-
ious for the opportunity to get
back on the field and redeem
themselves, coach Ritch Price
said.
Its really important to just
try and flush it as best you can,
redshirt freshman Thomas Tayor
said. We need to forget about it,
but also remember it in a way, and
not let it happen again.
Not only the pitchers are happy
for the quick turnaround. The
other Jayhawks, who enjoyed a
solid weekend at the plate, are
equally eager to get back on the
field.
Weve got to let this go, junior
shortstop Brandon Macias said of
Sundays setbacks against Texas
Tech.
Its huge for us, especially com-
ing off a couple losses here. We
need to get ourselves back on
track, junior third baseman Tony
Thompson said.
But ultimately, the pitching staff
will need to deliver for Kansas to
return from Wichita with a vic-
tory.
Taylor, who will start for the
Jayhawks, was one of many pitch-
ers who got shelled by Texas
Tech.
Coming off of his best collegiate
start 5 2/3 innings of shutout
ball against Missouri on April 21
Taylor surrendered three runs
in two-plus innings on Sunday.
He was one of many Kansas
pitchers who had been strong for
nearly two weeks before being
flattened by Texas Tech.

Jayhawks struggle in Big 12 Tournament. MEN'S GOLF | 3B
Kansas places last in Big 12
T
he NFL draft has come and
gone. Kansas players Darrell
Stuckey, Dezmon Briscoe
and Kerry Meier were all drafted.
However, one well-known Kansas
player wasnt: Quarterback Todd
Reesing, who holds nearly every
quarterback record at Kansas, went
undrafted.
This wasnt a surprise. In fact,
there was probably only a very small
chance that he was going to be
drafted in the first place.
Right now is a crucial time in
Reesings potential professional
career.
Immediately following the draft
conclusion, undrafted players began
receiving calls from NFL teams
offering contracts. Undrafted defen-
sive back Justin Thornton received
one of these calls and was signed by
the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday. It is
still to be seen whether Reesing will
receive a similar opportunity.
Some people think hes too short
to be a quarterback in the NFL.
Listed at 5-foot-11 by KU
Athletics, Reesing would be one
of the smallest quarterbacks in the
NFL, which is problematic because a
quarterback needs to able to see over
the large linemen.
Because linemen in college are
much smaller than they are in the
NFL, a quarterback as short as
Reesing can be successful in college,
but that doesnt necessarily mean he
will be in the NFL.
Consider that Reesing was never
one to let a few guys in front of him
block his view downfield. He is a
scrambler. He is very mobile and can
move around to find an open line of
vision if he needs to.
At 200 pounds, Reesing is also
much lighter than many of the
defensive ends and linebackers that
would be tackling him in the NFL.
Reesing has taken plenty of big hits
during his career at Kansas but hes
never had to miss time with an
injury.
Other quarterbacks with simi-
lar physical features have found a
way to be successful in the NFL.
New Orleans Saints quarterback
Drew Brees was the 2010 Super
Bowl MVP and his backup, former
Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel,
are both listed at 60.
Reesings combination of pas-
sion and energy was displayed in
nearly every college football game
he played in. He fist pumped the
air after many of his 90 career
touchdown passes. With degrees in
Finance and Economics, it would
appear Reesing has the intelligence
needed to be a successful profes-
sional quarterback, as well.
Despite skepticism from NFL
coaches and scouts, Reesing is look-
ing to play football anywhere that
will have him.
The Canadian Football Leagues
Saskatchewan Roughriders are in
contract negotiations with the for-
mer Kansas quarterback, according
to The Regina Leader-Post, a news-
paper from Regina, the capital of
Saskatchewan.
Its definitely encouraging news
for Kansas fans. Remember, former
NFL quarterback Doug Flutie, who
stands at 5-foot-10, played in the
Canadian Football League for eight
years before he was selected to play
in the 1998 NFL Pro Bowl.

Senior Kunigunda Dorn hits a backhand in her doubles match Sunday afternoon. Dorn came

By KaThLeen gIer
kgier@kansan.com
Every tennis player has a reason they play, whether for exercise at the simplest level, or if they are
lucky enough, playing for a college team. For senior Kuni Dorn, playing tennis gave her the oppor-
tunity to succeed at the collegiate level, but it was also an escape from a dangerous neighborhood
in Hungary. Eventually, it was a way out of her home country and a passage to a new life.
Four years ago, Dorn traveled more than 5,000 miles to Lawrence from her home in Sopron,
Hungary. She came to the University on the good word of a friend on the team, Edina Horvath, and
the trust in coach Amy Hall-Holt. Te University has given her the opportunity to continue playing
the sport she loves, and it was through the tennis team at Kansas that Dorn found another family
and another home. With graduation just a few weeks away, Dorn wishes she didnt have to leave.
staRtinG tennis
Dorn started playing tennis
when she was five years old. Her
father played tennis as a hobby in
Hungary, and taught Dorn how to
play, keeping her safe and occu-
pied from the dangerous distrac-
tions in their neighborhood.
Where we used to live, the
neighborhood wasnt that good, so
my mom didnt want me to have a
lot of free time and go with friends
and do bad stuff, she said.
Dorn developed a strong talent
for tennis and at just 12 years old
joined the Hungarian National
Team. After years of competing,
Dorn said she burnt out. But her
parents stood by her side to keep
her on track, encouraging her to
succeed.
All of the summer, I needed
to practice and it was really hard
sometimes when everyone else
was going to the swimming pool
and I had to practice. But they
always reminded me of my goals,
Dorn said. My dad, who was
really strict, made me go to
practice and there was no other
choice.
CHoosinG Ku
In high school, Dorn said she
started realizing how difficult it
was to become a professional ten-
nis player, so she decided to pur-
sue another goal: to play tennis at
a university in the United States.

C
rowning teams as all-time greats
is always a tenuous proposition,
but never moreso than when
the team in question still has games to
be played. Then, a funny thing can hap-
pen, which throws a wrench in the whole
coronation ceremony: They can lose.
It happened to USC, when Matt
Leinart and Reggie Bushs Trojans were
toppled by Texas.
It happened to the star-studded Lakers,
when the additions of Gary Payton and
Karl Malone couldnt get Kobe and Shaq
past the Pistons.
And now, half a world away, its half-
way done happening again. This time, in
European soccer.
FC Barcelona, winner of every tro-
phy it has been in contention for this
past season, dropped the first of its two
Champions League semifinal games last
week to Inter Milan.
Normally, a team losing at the San Siro
stadium to Inter Milan (even with a score
line of 3-1) would not be particularly
surprising. Inter boasts world class talent
and a dominant home-field advantage.
In Jose Mourinho, the Italian giants also
have a manager widely considered to be
the worlds best. Dont believe me? Just
ask him. Mourinhos skill is matched only
by his hubris and even then its close.
But even giving Milan its due,
Barcelona had to be considered the favor-
ite. Its not just that Barcelona had been
beating everyone its the attacking flair
with which the victories have been ham-
mered home.
That attack is powered by Lionel Messi.
Soccer fan or not, Messis superlative skill
is impossible to miss. Hes called the Little
Wizard and, clich though it may sound,
some of his on-field exploits can only be
explained via magic. Usually, when dis-
cussing the best players in any sport, the
term arguably is used a lot. Not with
soccer, and not right now. Messi is the
best, and second place isnt very close.
Although neither Messi nor his team-
mates have used it, there is an excuse for
Barcelonas defeat: Due to travel compli-
cations caused by Icelands volcanic activ-
ity, the team had to drive to the game
on a bus. The trip took the better part of
three days to complete, and almost cer-
tainly left Barcelonas players feeling if
not outright beat at least a little stiff.
Its also worth noting that Barcelonas
players have invoked the always popular
blame the officials clause in explaining
the loss. Its worth noting, but not really
considering. Milan plays a more physical
brand of soccer than Barcelona is used to
seeing in Spain, and officials will allow
for such play in European games.
To borrow the always quotable
Mourinhos words, what happened was
not a dream, it was reality. And no
excuse suitable explains the result. Milan
did deserve to win.
The best retort, perhaps, is the one
offered by Barcelonas manager, Pep
Guardiola. He said simply: Well see
them next week.
And indeed, the two European super-
powers will face off again on Wednesday,
with work still to be done for Milan. A
giant, even half slain, is still difficult to
fell.

NEW YORK Joe Torre sat
in the third-base dugout at Citi
Field watching the rain fall. As
much as he was looking forward
to another three-game series in
New York, he was thinking ahead
to the Kentucky Derby this week-
end.
Someone asked him about
Homeboykris, suggesting he was
a 50-1 choice.
My horse? 72-1, Torre quick-
ly corrected, reminding everyone
that odds on
Homeboykris
had risen
from 40-1 in
December.
He may be
used to man-
aging favorites
in the dug-
out, but at the
track hes a
long shot.
Torres next
game in New York was pushed
back when the Los Angeles
Dodgers matchup with the Mets
was postponed by rain Monday
night. The teams will play a tradi-
tional single-admission double-
header Tuesday, with the first
game starting at 4:10 p.m.
While the pressure of manag-
ing the Yankees became a grind
from 1996-07, especially when
he failed to win the World Series
after leading New York to four
titles in his first five seasons,
Torre is more relaxed since tak-
ing over the Dodgers before the
2008 season.
Horse racing is a pleasant
diversion. He attended the
Breeders Cup twice at Santa
Anita, but cant find time dur-
ing the baseball season to go to
the track because he gets to the
ballpark so early.
He grew fond of horses because
of his Yankees bench coach, Don
Zimmer. Torre remembered back
to his first season managing the
Yankees, when Zimmer invit-
ed him to Pimlico on a trip to
Camden Yards.
I said, No. Heres a couple
hundred bucks, Torre
recal l ed.
A n d
I dont
know if it
was cal-
culated or
not he
b r o u g ht
me back
more than
I gave him.
So he sort
of hooked
me at that point in time.
Torre visited Homeboykris
last week for the first time,
making a trip to Churchill
Downs when the Dodgers were
in Cincinnati. He purchased a
10 percent stake in the horse
shortly after Homeboykris
won the Champagne Stakes
for 2-year-olds at Belmont
Park last October. Louis
Lazzinnaro and Jack Mandato,
a supporter of Torres Safe
at Home Foundation, had
owned Homeboykris, so Torre
bought in.
Just to be with those guys,
Torre said.
Torre had co-owned Vineyard
Haven with trainer Bobby Frankel
and Lazzinnaro, who owns res-
taurants in Queens and Saratoga
Springs. Vineyard Haven was sold
to Godolphin Racing in 2008 for
$12 million.
When Torre first became man-
ager of the Dodgers, he lived in
California for three months with
Frankel, a Hall of Fame trainer
who died of cancer last November
at age 68.
Torre had high hopes for Sis
City, a filly he owned who was a
3-5 favorite in the 2005 Kentucky
Oaks. Sis City, like Homeboykris
trained by Rick Dutrow Jr., was
ridden by Jerry Bailey and fin-
ished fourth.
She didnt get out of the gate,
and I knew there was nothing
there, Torre said. Jerry Bailey
did apologize for beating my
horse. I said, Well, you and three
other ones beat my horse. So it
wasnt only you.
Torre buys stake in horse, anticipates Derby

She didnt get out of the

Jayhawks look to next year afer last place fnish in Big 12
By Andrew wituszynski
awituszynski@kansan.com
At the Big 12 Championship
Tournament in Trinity, Texas, last
weekend, Kansas went into the
final round in last place and fin-
ished no higher. The Jayhawks
scored 58 strokes over par as a
team, five strokes behind 11th
place finisher, Missouri.
Obviously it was a rough week
for us, coach Kit Grove said. It
was just bad. There is no other
way to sugar coat it.
Oklahoma State won the tour-
nament for the fourth straight
year with a score of 19 under par
as a team.
Chris Ward of Texas Tech took
the individual first place hon-
ors and finished nine under par.
Ward won the tournament by
two strokes over Peter Uhilein of
Oklahoma State.
From an individual perspec-
tive, the tournament was much
closer than the team tournament,
with Oklahoma State finishing
13 strokes ahead of second place
Texas A&M.
Junior Nate
Barbee placed
27th, the high-
est for the
Jayhawks. He
finished eight
over par for the
four rounds.
This was a
tough tourna-
ment for all
of us, Barbee
said, Nobody played well, and I
struggled individually.
Though Barbee recently injured
his back and didnt play for the
Jayhawks in their last tournament
on April 14 and 15, he said the
injury had no effect on his Big 12
Tournament outcome.
I just played bad, Barbee
said. There is no excuse for that
in the Big 12
Tournament.
T h o u g h
Barbee is
expected to
qualify for
regionals, the
r e m a i n i n g
Jayhawks will
probably not
have to wait
until next sea-
son for their
shot at qualifying.
If I make it to regionals, Im
going to keep the same routine
and practice and play the way I
always do, Barbee said.
The remaining Jayhawks who
played in the
t o u r n a me nt
with the
exception of
senior Bryan
Hackenberg
are all fresh-
men. Theyll
have the chance
to make it to
regionals or
even nationals
in the seasons
to come.
All in all it was disappointing
where we finished, Hackenberg
said. The good thing is that it was
a great learning experience for the
young guys.
Three freshman Jayhawks
competed in the tournament and
didnt fare as well as they hoped.
Freshman Chris Gilbert placed
34th at eleven
over par. Fellow
freshmen Alex
Gutesha and
Dan Waite fin-
ished 50th and
60th, respec-
tively.
H a v i n g
three true
freshmen in
there is tough,
Grove said.
But them getting in the mix and
learning what college golf is like
should pay dividends in the years
to come.
Hackenberg finished at 28 over
par in his last college tournament.
He shot two rounds of 75 and 76,
but two scores in the 80s landed
him in 58th place.
Im just thankful that I got to
play here at KU, Hackenberg said.
It was a fun experience and I
learned a lot.
Despite a strong regular season,
which featured seven top fives
finishes, including first place tie
and two second place finishes, the
Jayhawks are excited about what
next year will bring.
With the exception of
Hackenberg, the entire team is
returning and will include three
incoming recruits.
We have a lot to build on for
next fall with everyone being so
young, Barbee said. We should
be very competitive.

senior season in 2006 before Josh
Freeman took over the position.
Te Pittsburg Morning Sun
reports that Kansas State football
coach Bill Snyder was among the
speakers Monday at the service at
Memorial Auditorium.
Meier came from a football fam-
ily. His younger brother, Kerry
Meier, was drafed Saturday by
the Atlanta Falcons afer breaking
records as a Kansas wide receiver.
Older brother Shad Meier was a
tight end at Kansas State and had a
six-year career in the NFL.
MccLAtHey-triBune
Standing on a circle of grass
outside Benficas Stadium of
Light in Lisbon is a larger-than-
life statue of Eusebio, arguably
the greatest soccer player ever to
come from Africa.
The Black Panther, as he was
known, was born in 1942 in what
was then Lourenco Marques and
is now Maputo, the capital of
Mozambique.
But in a glittering 21-year
career in which he was named
Europes player of the year in
1965 and in which he was the
top goal scorer at the 1966 World
Cup in England, Eusebio da Silva
Ferreira never once represented
the land of his birth.
He played club soccer for
Benfica and his national team
was Portugal. In those days,
Mozambique was merely a colo-
ny, an offshoot of Portugal itself,
and the idea that Eusebio could
lead it to World Cup glory was
laughable.
Times have changed.
In about six weeks, South
Africa will stage the first World
Cup to be played on the African
continent. It has been an 80-year
wait, but Africas time has finally
arrived.
On June 11, at the vast and
calabash-shaped Soccer City
Stadium in Johannesburg, the
monthlong tournament will kick
off after opening ceremonies
that will feature Nelson Mandela,
probably President Obama, Pele,
and almost certainly Eusebio
himself.
The Black Panther
visited the city ahead of the FIFA
Confederations Cup in 2009 and
in an interview, said, I was born
in Africa and I am proud that
a country in the region where I
came from will be hosting the
World Cup next year. It will defi-
nitely be one of the greatest ever.
Among the 32 participating
World Cup teams are six from
Africa: Algeria, Cameroon,
Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Nigeria
and South Africa. Among the
leading players on those teams
are striker Didier Drogba of Ivory
Coasts Elephants, forward Samuel
Etoo of Cameroons Indomitable
Lions, and midfielder Michael
Essien of Ghanas Black Stars.
Like Eusebio before them, all
three ply their trade in Europe,
along with hundreds of other
African players who, in their
migration north, have not only
made their name and in some
cases their fortunes but have
enriched the European leagues in
which they play.
But it has not really helped
Africa. Not so far, anyway.
Africa might produce some of
the worlds finest players, but the
continent has yet to find its mark
at the World Cup. No African
team has ever progressed beyond
the quarterfinals, a plateau first
achieved by the Roger Milla-
inspired Cameroon team at the
Italia 90 World Cup.
In that event 20 years ago,
Cameroon startled the world on
a sunny June evening in Milan
when it defeated reigning world
champion Argentina, with Diego
Maradona in the lineup, 1-0, in
the tournaments opening game.

In-state Matchup
Shockers are among the best in Missouri Valley

At A GlAnce At A GlAnce
The weekend series started so well for kansas (25-16-1, 6-8-1) with a 10-2 victory but ended with disap-
pointing 11-8 and 21-10 defeats against Texas Tech. now the Jayhawks head to eck stadium in Wichita to
face a shockers team that is 17-4 at home.
PlAyer to wAtch
Junior third baseman Tony Thompson
Thompson struggled to fully regain his timing at the plate until the series against Texas
Tech. Thompson went 5-for-9 over the weekend with six rBi, four walks and six runs
scored. He also blasted his third home run of the season, a towering shot to straight-
away center feld. if Thompson can continue that pace, the middle of kansas lineup
should put up a ton of runs.

Question MArk
Will Kansas pitching staf rebound from a disappointing weekend?
The mistakes made against Texas Tech are fxable, but by no means a guarantee. The
shockers' ofense isnt truly comparable to the red raiders but is still potent
enough to provide another test for the
Jayhawk pitchers. if kansas pitch-
ers can consistently throw frst pitch
strikes and limit walks, they have a
great chance of success.
By the nuMBers
47 hits allowed in three games
against Texas Tech
10.00 kansas team erA in three
games against Texas Tech
2.60 kansas team erA for the fve games prior to the Texas Tech series
GAMe outlook
The in-state rivals normally play it close, but kansas easily took both match ups last season, winning 8-0 at
Hoglund Ballpark and 8-3 at the eck. if the Jayhawks can get a strong performance from their pitching staf,
the ofense should supply enough run support to take home the victory.
Ben Ward
Wichita state has had an up-and-down season, but the shockers are still 10 games above the .500 mark.
last season the Jayhawks swept the shockers, but Wichita state did make the ncAA Tournament after win-
ning the missouri Valley conference tournament.
PlAyer to wAtch
Cody Lassley
As the shockers' leader in home runs and runs batted in, lassley has been the key to
the team's success this season.
if lassley can carry
the shockers in
this game, they
have a chance
of winning. The
match up with
kansas Thomas Taylor should be inter-
esting if the game is at a critical point.
lassley
Question MArk
Tobin Mateychick
mateychick comes into this game with a record of 2-0 in eight appearances this season. in his last start
against kansas state he pitched four and 1/3 innings and received a no decision in the game. His last win
was against Tabor college on march 31.
Andrew Hammond
stArtinG Pitcher
Can the Shockers limit mistakes?
The shockers and Jayhawks always play competitive games, and usually it comes down to who limits
mistakes. Wichita state has had a problem with errors early in the ballgame. if that continues, then the
shockers will certainly lose.
By the nuMBers
4 errors in the loss to san Jose state
3-7 record against D-1 opponents from major conferences
8 runners left on base against kansas state last week
brian heere
In her third year of high school,
Dorn was given the opportunity
to pursue her goal. She had to
choose between going to college in
Hungary or moving to the United
States where she could continue
playing tennis.
In Hungary, if you get into the
university there is just studying,
she said. You cannot continue
playing tennis because it is so
stressful and you have to study all
the time. I heard that a lot of ten-
nis players came to the U.S., so I
thought, why not try?
Distance from her family wasnt
a problem for Dorn because at a
young age she had learned to
travel away from home while
competing with the Hungarian
National Team.
I used to be far away from my
parents for a long time for camps
and stuff, so it is not the same,
but when I was young I started
to be separated from them so it is
easier, Dorn said. We talk a lot
during the semester all the time
and I call them every day when I
can and we talk on the webcam.
While competing on the
Hungarian National Team, Dorn
met Edina Horvath, a 2009 grad-
uate from Budapest, Hungary.
Horvath would become an influ-
ential piece in Dorns decision to
come to Kansas. Horvath talked
to head coach Hall-Holt about
Dorns style of play and empha-
sized how she could be a great
asset to the Kansas tennis team.
She really helped me come to
Kansas, Dorn said. We became
best friends.
When Dorn first arrived in
the United States, she spoke little
English, making her transition to
the University difficult. She cred-
ited the Applied English Center at
the University for helping break
the language barrier. But her team-
mates were the most helpful at
smoothing the transition. From
simply explaining drills in practice
to helping her
academi cal l y,
the tennis team
was there for
her. Dorn said
that after expe-
riencing those
challenges, it
was easy for her
to connect with
younger players
Kha ne v s kay a
and Kate Morozova, who are both
from Russia.
CAREER AT KU
Before Dorn came to the
University, she had been used to
playing alone in tournaments, on
the Hungarian National Team. The
Kansas tennis team showed her
the true meaning of a team on the
court and gave her a home off the
court.
I do think coach Hall-Holt is my
second mom and my teammates
are my sisters, Dorn said. It is
just the way we take care of each
other and help out. It is amazing
how we can work together.
Sophomore Erin Wilbert talked
about the impression that Dorn
has left on the team.
Thats my girl, Wilber said. I
am going to miss her so much. She
is the rock on our team. She fights
the hardest and never gives up. I
am really going to miss her.
Freshman Vika Khanevskaya
agreed that the team would be at a
loss without Dorn.
She is a leader, she is like our
sister, Khanevskaya said. She is a
big part of our team.
Dorn said that when she became
a senior, she knew a lot would
be expected of
her and was
hesitant to
accept her role
as a leader. But
she found the
balance she
needed to both
c ompl i me nt
and criticize
her teammates.
She said she
was able to lead by allowing her
teammates to criticize and help her
in return.
I am not even thinking that I
am a leader because I always ask,
what do you guys think about it?
or how do you guys see this? It is
not just about me, Dorn said.
The team will travel to Austin,
Texas on Thursday to compete
in the Big 12 Tournament. This
spring, Dorns season record sits
at 7-13 for singles and 5-9 in dou-
bles with partner freshman Sara
Lazarevic.
In previous seasons, Dorn
missed out on playing time because
of an elbow injury she sustained
her sophomore year.
I think I could have done bet-
ter, but since my sophomore year, I
have been suffering with my elbow
and it is really hard to play with an
injury, Dorn said. I always know
that I am going to do everything
for this team. So I can say that I
am satisfied with what we have
achieved.
Dorn decided to forego surgery
because it would have put her out
of tennis for a year, and without
that year, she felt that she would
have had a lot of trouble coming
back for a successful senior season.
Despite these troubles, Dorn
easily recalled her favorite memory
as a Jayhawk: beating Kansas State
two years ago in Manhattan. The
Jayhawks won 4-3.
That was just amazing how
we cheered for each other, Dorn
said. Everyone was so happy. That
match is always in my memory.
MOVING FORWARD
After graduation, Dorn hopes to
stay in the United States, though
it will be difficult remaining apart
from her parents who miss her.
Honestly, I feel like when I go
home now, I am visiting, Dorn
said. I know it is weird, it is just
that this is my home. When I am
home, I say I am going home to
Kansas. It became my home and I
really like everything here.
Dorn is grateful for her team,
who she said made her life better.
I love to play tennis and every-
thing, but what we have as a team
I think it is wonderful," Dorn said.
"We all get along and you know
with girls, that it is really hard to
have. Whenever we have problems
we handle them and I think we all
love each other."
Dorn will be graduating with
a degree in journalism and hopes
that she can find a job close to
Lawrence. She said she would love
to be an assistant coach or gradu-
ate teaching assistant, so she could
continue with tennis.
I really want to stay close to the
girls so it isnt just like I stop play-
ing tennis and dont see them any-
more, Dorn said. I want to finish
school and be close to my friends. I
am really grateful for the team and
coaches and everything we have.

poorly today were the same
guys who pitched great in
Nebraska on Saturday and
Sunday, and in Kauffman
Stadium on Wednesday night,
Price said.
The issues that hindered
the Jayhawks staff against the
Red Raiders not throwing
first pitch strikes and allow-
ing leadoff batters to reach
are the ones coach Price wants
to see corrected against the
Shockers.
Weve got to do a better job
of getting ahead in the count,
he said. We cant continue to
set the table for their hitters
like we did over the weekend.
Taylor, expressing the kind
of short term memory a pitch-
er needs, said hes eager to take
the mound tonight.
Before the weekend Id been
throwing the best Ive thrown
all year, he said. So I want to
build off of that and get over
this weekend.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Dwight
Howard kept collecting fouls, and
all the Orlando Magic did was be-
come the frst team to advance in
the NBA playofs.
Vince Carter scored 21 points,
Jameer Nelson added 18 and the
Magic showcased their depth and
pressure shot-making in a 99-90
victory over the Charlotte Bobcats
on Monday night to complete a
sweep of their frst-round series.
Howard was held to six points
in his fourth straight game in
foul trouble, but the Magic never
finched to accomplish their frst
four-game sweep in franchise his-
tory. Orlando will face the Atlanta-
Milwaukee winner in the Eastern
Conference semifnals.
Tyrus Tomas scored a career
playof-high 21
points for the
Bobcats, whose
focus will now
almost imme-
diately turn to
nomadic coach
Larry Browns
future with the
team.
H o w a r d
did grab 13
rebounds but was limited to 23
minutes before fouling out for the
second straight game. Te Magic,
though, got key contributions and
big shots from others.
Rashard Lewis scored 17 points,
Matt Barnes added 14 and Orlando
held Stephen Jackson to 2-of-11
shooting to make sure Charlotte
would be the only team not to win
a frst-round game.
Afer Charlotte cut Orlandos
lead to one on Tyson Chandlers
two free throws, Mickael Pietrus
hit consecutive 3-pointers directly
across the foor from Bobcats own-
er Michael Jordans seat to put the
Magic ahead 83-76 with 5:47 lef.
Nelsons 3-pointer less than a
minute later afer Gerald Wal-
lace missed two free throws put
it away for the Magic, whose only
previous playof sweep was a 3-0
victory over Detroit in 1996.
Tey made quick work of the
Bobcats, whose frst playof appear-
ance turned into a miserable ofen-
sive exhibition. Charlotte couldnt
take advantage of Howards long
stints on the bench and now has
to wonder if its coach will be back.
Brown, in the second season of
his 13th head coaching job in col-
lege and the pros, said two weeks
ago that Jordan is the only guy Im
going to coach for. But Jordan said
last month he wouldnt hold the
69-year-old Brown to his contract
if he wanted to leave for family rea-
sons.
Browns wife and children live
in Philadelphia, and Brown could
hold true to his word if he lef for a
job such as team president with the
76ers and hired his own coach.
Asked during his pregame me-
dia availability if this series could
help the team in the future, a
cranky Brown snapped it would
be stupid to
think about
next season,
while he con-
tinued to bash
Charlottes de-
fciencies.
Tey were
magnifed by
Howards ab-
sence.
Te four-
time All-Stars
endless foul trouble entering the
game made him the focus of rib-
bing in the morning shootaround.
Teammates told him instead of
Superman, his nickname was now
Foul on You. Howard played along
in raising his arm and clenching his
fst as if to call a foul.
But while Howard joked around,
coach Stan Van Gundy was more
serious. He had Howard watch
video of his frustration fouls on
Sunday, and stressed he had to keep
his cool against Charlottes wave of
three physical centers.
It didnt work. Howard was
called for two fouls in 16 seconds
in the frst quarter, the second for
tripping. He picked up his third for
challenging D.J. Augustin afer he
had released a reverse layup that
turned into a three-point play.
With Howard on the bench, the
Bobcats built a 38-31 lead on the
strength of Tomas, who hit his
frst eight shots.
Te Magic maintained the lead.
Afer Chandler smothered Carter
on his drive to the hoop and was
called for a fagrant-1 foul, Carter
hit two free throws to put Orlando
ahead 77-73 with 9:35 lef.
Howard checked in a minute lat-
er, and stayed on the foor until he
fouled out with 54 seconds lef, fn-
ishing with 22 fouls in the series.

MILWAUKEE Carlos
Delfino scored 22 points with six
3-pointers and the Milwaukee
Bucks pulled off their second
straight playoff surprise, beat-
ing the Atlanta Hawks 111-104
Monday night to draw even in the
first-round series.
Brandon Jennings scored 23
points and John Salmons added
22 for the Bucks, who survived
a fourth-quarter surge led by
Atlanta stars Joe Johnson and Josh
Smith. Now the Hawks head home
for Game 5, desperately needing
a win to stave off a surprising
challenge by a team missing its
best player, injured center Andrew
Bogut.
Johnson scored 29 points,
reserve Jamal Crawford had 21,
and Smith had 20 points and nine
rebounds.
The Bucks
finally started
getting to the
free throw line
and they made
the most of it,
hitting 28 of
32.
Salmons was
10 for 10 from
the free throw
line.
It was yet another subpar per-
formance away from home for
the Hawks, who struggled on
the road in the regular season
and havent performed well on
the road in recent playoff appear-
ances. Atlanta beat Milwaukee in
convincing fashion the first two
games of the series, but the Bucks
blew out the Hawks in Saturdays
Game 3.
Atlanta did a better job respond-
ing to adversity Monday, but still
not good enough.
Delfino went 6 for 8 from
3-point range, including a
3-pointer from the corner to put
Milwaukee ahead 97-88 with 3:56
left. Smith missed inside and
Jennings grabbed the rebound,
then hit a floating jumper at the
other end.
Layups by Al Horford and
Johnson later cut the lead to
five with 1:41 remaining, but
Milwaukees Kurt Thomas made
one of two free throws, then took
a charge by Crawford with 1:20
left.
Horford fouled Salmons, who
hit both free throws to give the
Bucks a 103-95 lead with 1:05
to go. Atlanta couldnt get much
closer because Milwaukee kept
hitting from the line.
Little-used big man Dan
Gadzuric gave the Bucks a jolt
at the end of the third quarter,
emphatically blocking a shot by
Johnson and
then making
an acrobatic
layup to give
Mi l wa u k e e
an 85-74 lead
going into the
fourth.
After bury-
ing the Hawks
with a sizzling
start Saturday,
the Bucks started strong again,
taking a 28-25 lead in the first
quarter as Delfino went 3 for 4
from 3-point range.
Atlanta responded better than it
did Saturday, though, and trailed
by only four at halftime.
It started out as a strange day
for the Hawks when their team
bus was hit by a car as they rode
back to their hotel from a morn-
ing shootaround.
Nobody on board was hurt,
and Hawks coach Mike Woodson
said the woman driving the car
and the young boy riding with
her appeared to be OK as well.
Woodson jumped out of the bus
to help immediately after the acci-
dent.
I jumped out and went over to
the car and opened the door, and
the little kid had climbed out of his
car seat, Woodson said before the
game. There was smoke coming
from the airbags, so I grabbed the
kid. And the mom, they got her
out, and we gave the kid back.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kyle
Davies allowed only one infield
single in six dominant innings
and Kansas City handed Felix
Hernandez his first loss in 10 deci-
sions Monday night with a 3-1 vic-
tory over Seattle.
Billy Butler homered leading
off the seventh against Hernandez
(2-1), who had won nine consecu-
tive decisions since losing 6-1 to
Cleveland on Aug. 23. In seven
innings, he gave up three runs
two earned with three walks and
seven strikeouts.
Davies (2-1) threw 63 strikes
with his 108 pitches, walked three
and struck out five before turning a
2-0 lead over to the bullpen starting
the seventh.
The sparse crowd which sat
through fairly heavy rain in the
early innings grew expectant when
the right-hander took his no-hit
bid into the sixth. But with one
out and Rob Johnson on first with
Davies second walk, Ichiro Suzuki
slapped a bouncing ball toward the
right side of the infield. The ball
slowed in the wet grass as second
baseman Alberto Callaspo came
running in. He scooped it up with
his glove and heaved it to first, but
the fleet Suzuki was a couple of
steps quicker.
A two-out walk loaded
the bases but Davies ended his
night by getting Jose Lopez on a
deep fly to left.
Kansas Citys much-maligned
bullpen preserved the shutout until
former Royal Mike Sweeneys pinch
RBI single off Kyle Farnsworth
with two out in the ninth scored
Milton Bradley, who doubled off
Kyle Farnsworth. Bruce Chen came
in and got his first career save when
Ichiro flied out.
The Royals got an unearned
run with the help of Hernandezs
throwing error in the first. After
Scott Podsednik singled, Butler
grounded back to the mound. But
Hernandez threw the ball into cen-
ter field as Podsednik went to third
and later scored on Jose Guillens
single.

ARLINGTON, Texas Miguel
Cabrera and Brandon Inge hit back-
to-back homers in the ninth inning
and the Detroit Tigers beat the
Texas Rangers 8-6 Monday night
after blowing a five-run lead.
Cabreras tiebreaking homer off
hard-throwing Neftali Feliz (2-1)
was a 399-foot shot that landed in
the Rangers bullpen in right-center.
Inge followed with a blast to left,
his second homer of the game.
Inges two-run shot in the fifth,
his first of the season, put Detroit
up 6-1.
Phil Coke (3-0), the third
Tigers pitcher, worked 1 2-3 shut-
out innings before Jose Valverde
pitched a perfect ninth against the
top of the Texas lineup for his sixth
save in seven chances.
Coke took over with one out in
the seventh after the Rangers had
loaded the bases off Joel Zumaya.
The left-hander struck out Josh
Hamilton on three pitches before
giving up a two-run single to
Vladimir Guerrero that tied it at 6.
David Murphy had a two-run
double and a run-saving catch after
he entered the game for Texas in
the top of the sixth for right fielder
Nelson Cruz, who reaggravated a
right hamstring that has bothered
him for the past week. The Rangers
said Cruz is day to day.
Detroit, which
wrapped up a
5-6 road trip,
led 4-0 after the
first four bat-
ters of the game
reached and
scored off Matt
Harrison.
A u s t i n
Jackson, the
rookie center
fielder playing not far from his
hometown in Denton, had a lead-
off single before consecutive walks.
Cabrera had an RBI single, then
Ryan Raburn cleared the bases with
a one-out double a ball high off
the 14-foot wall in left-center field
that would have been a grand slam
if only a few feet higher or to the
right where the height of the wall
decreases to eight feet.
Tigers starter Jeremy Bonderman
retired the first 11 batters he faced
until Hamilton homered in the
fourth to make it 4-1. After getting
his first day off Sunday, Hamiltons
second homer of the season ended
a 6-for-36 slide
and he added
a single and
scored again in
the sixth before
his strikeout in
the seventh and
a game-ending
lineout.
Ha mi l t o n
and Guerrero
had consecu-
tive two-out singles in the sixth
before Murphys two-run double
made it 6-4.
Murphys defensive gem ended
the eighth when he sprinted into the
right-center field gap and extended
to grab Johnny Damons liner.

MONTREAL Jaroslav Halak made
53 saves, and Michael Cammalleri
scored twice in the first period for the
eighth-seeded Montreal Canadiens, who
stayed alive with a 4-1 victory over the
Washington Capitals on Monday night
and forced a Game 7 in the first-round
series.
Halak made 18 saves in the first, 15
in the second, and 19 in the third. He
came within 4:50 of his first playoff
shutout. Halak, who
stopped 37 shots in
Fridays 2-1 victory
in Washington, won
his second straight
start despite the
top-seeded Capitals
54-22 advantage in
shots.
Cammalleri, who opened the scor-
ing in Game 5, put the Canadiens up
1-0 with a power-play goal 7:30 in. He
added his second of the game fifth
of the series at 9:09 to increase the
lead to 2-0.
Game 7 is Wednesday night at
Washington.
Maxim Lapierre drove a slap shot
past Semyon Varlamov from the right
side for Montreals third goal 3:17 into
the third.
Eric Fehr scored his third goal at
15:10 on Washingtons 52nd shot to spoil
Halaks shutout bid. It wasnt enough for
the Capitals, who had led the series 3-1.
Tomas Plekanec scored into an
empty net with 56.5 seconds remaining,
bringing a standing ovation from the
crowd. The fans stayed on their feet
through the final siren. Their cheers
reached a peak when Halak was
announced as the games first star.
The Capitals, who posted the NHLs
best record this season, were 0 for 6 on
the power play. Washington, which led
the league with a 25.2 success rate dur-
ing the regular season, fell to 1 for 30
with the man advantage in the series.
Varlamov stopped 18 shots in his
fourth straight start after he replaced
Jose Theodore early
in Game 2.
Cammalleri beat
Varlamov with a
wrist shot from the
right circle when
the puck came to
him after Canadiens
defenseman Marc-
Andre Bergerons shot from the point
struck Boyd Gordons stick.
P.K. Subban, called up from Hamilton
of the AHL earlier Monday, made his
playoff debut for Montreal and earned
an assist on Cammalleris second goal.

Boyd Gordon on a faceoff in the Capitals
zone and drew the puck back to Subban.
The rookie defenseman fed a pass to
Cammalleri, who snapped a shot from
the right side past Varlamov.
After outshooting Montreal 18-10 in
the first, Washington dominated the sec-
ond with a 15-3 edge.
