Submitting a piece of art, poetry
or prose can get more than a good
grade in your class. If you submit it
to Kiosk, the student-run magazine
that has been showcasing under-
graduates creative talents for the
past 20 years, it can get published.
Every semester, a staff of students
collects and judges submissions,
develops a theme and designs the
magazine all while working closely
with the printer to make sure their
efforts produce the final product
they envisioned. Staff members
must also make sure they have the
necessary funds to produce the
magazine, which usually come from
Student Senate.
The long process that goes into
making each semesters issue of
Kiosk is mirrored in the next issues
theme, The Creative Process.
Besides finished artwork, we
also collected sketches, doodles
and other process work, Lauren
Schimming, Kiosks art director and
Wichita senior, said.
The magazine provides students
with a valuable opportunity to share
their work with the local commu-
nity Schimming said.
It also gives student staff mem-
bers an opportunity to broaden
their creative horizons.
Amanda Hemmingsen, Kansas
City senior, began working on the
magazine last spring as a way to get
more involved in the poetry com-
munity.
Its definitely given me a sense of
different kinds of aesthetics that go
with writing a poem and how varied
they are, Hemmingsen said.
John Stringer, Kansas City, Mo,
senior, always picked up a copy of
Kiosk to see what his peers were
creating but never submitted any
work until last semester. Kiosk 45
will feature several pieces of his art-
work, which he is both anxious and
excited to see published.
There is always something a bit
nerve-wracking just before an event
where your work is to be shown,
Stringer said. When you put so
much of your heart into an endeav-
or, the results can become precious.
The opinions of others take on a lot
of weight.
The new issue will be unveiled
at a launch party at the Spencer
Museum of Art Thursday at 5:30
where some of the authors will be
reading their work. Issues will also
be available at the Student Senate
office, School of Architecture,
Design and Urban Planning and
English department offices, as well
as campus libraries, local bookstores
and art galleries.
Kiosk is accepting submissions
for the next issue now through Feb.
16. To submit an entry, email your
work to thekioskmagazine@gmail.

For the past 10 years, the
University of Kansas has been split
into two Republican districts; west
campus is represented by Lynn
Jenkins in District 2, while the main
campus representative is Kevin
Yoder from District 3. The split dis-
trict means that the University has
received double the representation
in the Legislature , but recent redis-
tricting will consolidate Lawrence
district two, which could affect the
University.
When KU or Lawrence needs
something in the Legislature, instead
of having one member whos looking
out for them, they have two, said
Michael Lynch, professor of political
science.
Because the most recent Census
showed a change of population in
Lawrence , the state must go through
the re-apportionment process to
ensure that every district is equal in
both population and representation
in Congress.
Every state has a different method
of re-apportionment. For example,
in Iowa, the nonpartisan Legislative
Services Bureau decides the bound-
aries of the districts. In Kansas,
the decisions are made by the state
Legislature, which is currently dom-
inated by Republicans.
When the Republicans control it
, they dont want Democrats to win,
so the House of Representatives
districts are small, said Ronald
Francisco, professor of political sci-
ence. They gerrymander, but they
dont gerrymander as much as other
states do.
Other states have had problems
with gerrymandering. After Texas
population grew by 4 million in
the last 10 years, the Republican-
dominate state drew the districts to
divide the growing Latino popula-
tion, who primarily voted Democrat.
Kansas is generally a Republican
state, but in the 2008 election,
Douglas County voted 64.1 percent
Democrat, 33.4 percent Republican
and 2.4 percent other, according to
Douglas Countys website. The fluc-
tuating majority makes gerryman-
dering more difficult.
Lawrence has been Republican
and Democrat and then back to
Republican, so different people have
different ideas of how you should
look at communities in terms of
being more or less Democrat, said
Clay Aurand, vice chairman of the
House Standing Committee on
Redistricting.
Despite less representation in the
state Legislature, Lynch said, I view
it as being generally positive for
Lawrence in the last 10 years and
for KU.

A good nights sleep doesnt
come from just fluffy pillows and
a dark, cold room. Other factors,
like a regular sleep schedule and
stress management, are crucial for
students to feel well-rested, said
Dr. Linda Keeler, psychiatrist for
the University.
Sleeping helps you be more
productive throughout the entire
day, Leigh Sanders, a junior from
Stamford, Conn., said. Sanders
usually gets between nine and 10
hours of sleep and said a comfort-
able bed and avoiding caffeine
help her sleep at night.
Its important to set enough
time aside to sleep, Keeler said.
She also says students should aim
to get at least eight to nine hours
every night in order to achieve
a minimum of three deep-sleep
cycles, known as REM sleep.
According to WebMd, REM
rapid eye movement occurs
after four stages of deeper sleep
and 90-minutes after initially fall-
ing sleep. The first REM cycle
lasts for ten minutes and includes
vivid dreaming, muscle paralysis
and eyes darting rapidly beneath
the eyelids.
The cycle then repeats begin-
ning again with the light sleep
stage and continuing with longer
REM cycles lasting up to an hour,
according to WebMd. During
the entire cycle, body tissue is
repaired, the immune system is
strengthened and memories are
processed.
Ive always been meticulous
about sleep, Bryan Strecker, a
graduate student from Topeka,
said. If I dont
get enough
hours, Ill be in a
terrible mood.
O v e r - t h e -
counter natural
sleep aids, such
as melatonin
and valerian
root, can also
help students fall
asleep easier and maintain a deep-
er sleep. Melatonin is a chemical
the body manufactures in order
to better regulate the circadian
sleep rhythm.
Strecker also pointed to the
importance of winding down
before going to bed. He usually
relaxes, takes his mind off the
days concerns and even writes a
list of to-dos for the next day to
ease his mind.
Colter Ragoner, a graduate stu-
dent from Peru, Vt., said that stay-
ing on top of schoolwork was also
important to sleep.
Make a schedule, stay orga-
nized, do assignments and start
thinking about it ahead of time,
Ragoner said.
He said that will help avoid pro-
crastination, last-minute cram-
ming and late nights that interfere
with proper sleep. Ragoner thinks
students do not
have as many
issues with get-
ting a good
nights sleep at
the beginning
of the semester,
but with the
onset of tests,
papers and
midterms later
on, their sleep quality starts to
decrease.
Make small goals everyday.
Break big tasks down into several
little ones, Ragoner said.
Additional tips for improving
sleep can be found on WebMds
website.

Kansas has drawn national
attention for being one of the
key battleground states for abor-
tion and reproductive rights. The
battle in the state legislature over
abortion could spill into areas of
family planning and contracep-
tion as more restrictive legisla-
tion is drafted and voted on this
session.
Anti-abortion leaders in
the Republican-controlled
Legislature have said they plan
to strengthen legal protection for
physicians and other health care
professionals who do not want to
participate in abortions.
There has also been discussion
of trying to prohibit abortion after
the first detectable fetal heartbeat,
or banning abortion altogether
through a personhood clause,
asserting that life begins when an
egg is fertilized.
This all comes on the heels of
drastic changes during last years
legislative session as well. Kansas
legislators passed very restrictive
laws regulating abortion clin-
ics and late-term abortion, and
restricted private insurance cov-
erage of abortions. Legislators
also attempted to prevent the
state from giving federal fam-
ily planning money to Planned
Parenthood for non-abortion
services, but a federal judge
ordered the state to fund Planned
Parenthood clinics.

Security forces kill two at protest
moNtERREY, mexico
Police in northern Mexico have
captured an alleged member of the
Zetas drug gang who confessed to
killing at least 75 people, including
many who were pulled off of buses,
authorities said Monday.
Enrique Elizondo Flores told in-
vestigators 36 of his victims were
bus passengers traveling through
the town of Cerralvo, near the bor-
der with Texas, said Nuevo Leon
state security spokesman Jorge
Domene.
Elizondo was detained Jan. 20
in the town of Salinas Victoria, but
authorities delayed announcing his
arrest so they could verify details
of his confession, said Nuevo Leon
state Attorney General Adrian de la
Garza.
Domene said the 35-year-old
suspect told investigators he had
been working in the area at least
three years and that he was in
charge of killing members of the
rival Gulf drug cartel heading to
the towns of Cerralvo and General
Trevino. He and other gunmen last
January began pulling passengers
off of buses as they arrived at Cer-
ralvos bus station, Domene said.
They are among at least 92 bus
passengers that the Zetas are ac-
cused of killing in three attacks in
January and March 2011. Many the
victims were originally from the
central state of Guanajuato and had
arrived in Cerralvo from the border
city of Reynosa, Domene said.
Elizondo distinguished himself
for torturing, maiming and then
killing his victims, Domene said.
BUchARESt, Romania
Romanias highest court on Mon-
day sentenced former Prime Min-
ister Adrian Nastase to two years
in prison after convicting him of
illegally raising funds for a failed
presidential campaign.
The ruling is the frst time a for-
mer Romanian premier has been
sentenced to prison since commu-
nism ended in the country in 1989.
Four others in the case received
six-year prison sentences. The sen-
tences can be appealed.
Nastase, who was prime minis-
ter from 2000 to 2004, insists he
is innocent and that the case is
politically motivated. He said he
would appeal.
Prosecutors alleged that compa-
nies and state agencies were forced
to pay fees to attend a conference
in 2004, and the money was then
used to pay for Nastases unsuc-
cessful run for the presidency in
2004. He lost the runoff to Presi-
dent Traian
Basescu.
The one
that won the
e l e c t i o n s
wanted to take
revenge on the
one that lost,
Nastase said
Monday.
Romania is under pressure from
the European Union, which it joined
in 2007, to crack down on endemic
corruption.
Romania will hold local and
parliamentary elections later this
year. Observers expect these to be
the most bitterly contested polls of
recent years.
DAKAR, Senegal The
paramilitary police say two
people were killed in Senegal
during an anti-government
protest, and a witness says se-
curity forces opened fire on the
crowd.
Amadou Diagne Niang, a
resident of the northern town of
Podor, said the two dead Mon-
day include an elderly woman
and a high school student. He
says they were killed when se-
curity forces opened fire on the
crowd after protesters refused
to disperse.
Cmdr. Papa Ibrahima Diop,
a spokesman for the national
gendarmerie, says had been
informed that two people were
killed in Podor, but he could not
disclose details. He says the
gendarmerie was investigat-
ing.
Senegal has been on edge
since Friday, when the countrys
highest court validated Presi-
dent Abdoulaye Wades bid to
run for a third term even though
the constitution was changed
in 2001 to impose a two-term
maximum.
toKYo Japans popula-
tion of 128 million will shrink by
one-third and seniors will account
for 40 percent of people by 2060,
placing a greater burden on a
smaller working-age population to
support the social security and tax
systems.
The grim estimate of how rapid
aging will shrink Japans popula-
tion was released Monday by the
Health and Welfare Ministry.
In year 2060, Japan will have 87
million people. The number of peo-
ple 65 or older will nearly double
to 40 percent, while the national
work force of people between ages
15 and 65 will shrink to about half
of the total population, according
to the estimate, made by the Na-
tional Institute of Population and
Social Security Research.
The total fertility rate, or the ex-
pected number of children born per
woman during lifetime, in 2060 is
estimated at 1.35, down from 1.39
in 2010 well below more than
2 needed to keep the countrys
population from declining. But the
average Japanese will continue to
live longer. The average life ex-
pectancy for 2060 is projected at
90.93 for women, up from 86.39 in
2010, and 84.19 years for men, up
from 79.64 years.
Dating experts to share
advice with KU students
Without a special someone as Valen-
tines Day approaches? Fear not, college
dating coaches Dave and Ethan will be
in Woodruff Auditorium tonight at 8 p.m.
providing advice for the lovelorn.
In 2008, childhood friends Dave Ah-
doot and Ethan Fixell posted ads invit-
ing women to go on a double date with
them. After 200 double dates and a web
series about their exploits, Dave and
Ethan decided to put their dating ex-
perience to good use by offering college
students advice and sharing anecdotes
from their personal experience.
Although the pair has a background
in comedy and improvisation that gives
the show a satirical tone, genuine
matchmaking does occur, said Ahdoot,
particularly during their spin on the
classic dating show where one single
girl interviews prospective suitors and
picks her match.
Weve had a lot train-wrecks, but
weve had some success stories, Ah-
doot said. We have two or three couples
that are still together.

CAMPUS
FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) A
former Massachusetts dentist was
sentenced to one year in jail Mon-
day for using paper clips instead of
stainless steel posts in root canals.
Dr. Michael Clair pleaded guilty
earlier this month to a list of charg-
es, including assault and battery,
defrauding Medicaid of $130,000,
illegally prescribing medications
and witness intimidation.
Prosecutors said Clair some-
times used sections of paper clips
when performing root canals in an
efort to save money. Some of his
patients reported infections and
other problems.
Brenda Almeida said her teenage
sons tooth turned black and had to
be removed afer Clair performed a
root canal on him in 2005. She said
Clair also performed shoddy dental
work on her other two children.
Almeida, who watched Clair get
sentenced in Fall River Superior
Court Monday, said she was angry
about what she considers to be a
light sentence.
He put my kids in pain for
months ... I hope he rots there, she
said afer Judge Richard Moses sen-
tenced Clair to a year in the Bristol
County House of Correction.
Prosecutors asked for a sentence
of fve to seven years.
Massachusetts Attorney General
Martha Coakley said Clair billed
the Medicaid program for the costs
of stainless steel posts and submit-
ted false claims using other den-
tists provider numbers.
Te defendant physically and
emotionally harmed his patients
by taking advantage of the trust
they placed in him as their dentist,
Coakley said in a statement. Mr.
Clair brazenly cheated the Med-
icaid program and defrauded tax-
payer dollars, billing for health care
services he did not provide.
Clair, who had a dental practice
in Fall River, now lives in Crofon,
Md.
Te judge said he considered
Clairs acceptance of responsibil-
ity, lack of a criminal record and
certain mental health issues Clair
is dealing with in deciding on the
one-year sentence. He did not give
any specifcs on the mental health
issues.
Clairs lawyer, John Dingee, de-
clined to comment.
Moses granted a request from
prosecutors to order Clair to stay
away from his victims and seven
people who worked in his ofce.
Assistant Attorney General Toby
Unger said Clairs former staf
members have expressed concern
for their safety, but did not elabo-
rate.

February is one of those winter

This Means war (Feb. 14)
An action comedy starring Chris
Pine (Star Trek) and Tom Hardy

Celebs faunt fashion
risks on red Carpet
LOS AnGELES The style stakes
are heating up this red carpet season,
and at the SAG Awards on Sunday
night, it was the risks that paid off.
Emma Stones dress by Sarah
Burton for Alexander Mcqueen
was a total knockout because of
its exploding lace bustier, as the
fashion house describes it; and the
fresh, mid-calf length, all the better
to showcase a killer pair of peep-toe
shoes.
Michelle williams red Valentino
gown was distinguished by the twist
of a one-shoulder bodice and short,
red lace sleeves. The surprising an-
kle-length, cutaway hem showed off
her red roger Vivier cage sandals.
And when it came to details, Zoe
Saldanas white Givenchy by riccardo
Tisci gown, with its tank bodice under
a sheer overlay and jeweled neckline,
was unlike anything else out there.
But the biggest risk-taker was
rose Byrne, who dressed in a white
Elie Saab jumpsuit. Her inspiration,
she said, was the late 1970s/early
80s feel of the movie Scarface, and
with her bob haircut, the ensemble
worked in a kooky chic way.
when it came to the extras, there
were loads of unique jewelry, includ-
ing kristen wiigs 19th century dia-
mond lattice Fred Leighton choker (a
miss), Jolies striking vintage black
and gold House of Lavande hoop ear-
rings and bangle bracelet and Sofa
Vergaras bold Lorraine Schwartz am-
ethyst cuff and earrings.

Te State of our Union is getting

stronger, said President Barack
Obama in his most recent State
of the Union address to the Ameri-
can people. Tis was Obamas fourth
State of the Union, and an important
one because this year is an election
year, which means a possible reelec-
tion for Barack Obama. We can be
sure that the Republican candidates
have analyzed each and every state-
ment, and while I wont go into that
much depth, here is the main thing
that I took from Obamas oration.
I took particular interest in Presi-
dent Obamas statement: Im a
Democrat. But I believe what Re-
publican Abraham Lincoln believed:
that Government should do for peo-
ple only what they cannot do better
by themselves, and no more. Afer
supporting this very conservative
statement, he continued to propose
liberal policy and regulations.
Such policies included the cre-
ation of a Trade Enforcement Unit
to regulate trade with China, policies
to prevent students from quitting
high school until either graduation
or they turn eighteen, and providing
incentives for domestic energy con-
sumption.
Te back story on this Lincoln
quote is the opposition of govern-
ment regulations. Obama has pro-
posed even more regulation on
trade, education and energy. In a
free market system, which Lincolns
quote is clearly supporting, these
regulations are not necessary for an
economy to fourish, and, in fact,
discourage growth.
Over time, I have become a frm
Constitutionalist. Continual gov-
ernment regulations have driven our
economy down to, and nearly be-
yond, the breaking point. Sure, job
creation has spiked and the unem-
ployment rate has decreased from
the record highs it was at earlier in
Obamas term, but is that an efect
of the policies implemented by the
current administration or simply a
hope in the coming election?
Truthfully, it has much more to
do with the hope that the next ad-
ministration can do something to
stop the current trends. Te private
and public sectors are tired of con-
tinual regulations. Seeing that more
and more people are getting fed up
with these anti-constitutional regu-
lations, they believe there will be
a Republican party victory in the
November election and are slowly
beginning to ready their businesses
for a spike in production when these
regulations are repealed.
Te policies suggested by Presi-
dent Obama in this State of the
Union address will not bring about
the change that he hopes for, just
like his policies throughout the term
have not been nearly as successful as
he had hoped.
Te $825 billion stimulus plan,
which was predicted to have the
unemployment rate below six per-
cent at this point in time, hasnt
come close to that. In fact, this is the
frst 35-month period since before
World War II that the unemploy-
ment rate has stayed about 8 percent
constantly. It even peaked at 10.1
percent in 2009, according to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Obamacare, which he promised
would save the average family about
$2,500 dollars on their premiums,
has actually made acquiring health
care slightly even more expensive,
accounting for an increase of around
$132 dollars per year, according to a
story by Kaiser Health News.
Tese are just a few examples
of the countless failed policies put
into efect by this administration.
But even though these policies have
failed, I will challenge anyone who
says Barack Obama doesnt care
about this country. He is doing what
he believes is right and what he be-
lieves will turn this country around.
Hes simply wrong.
He cares about America, and
above all else, he is still our president.
Tis is still a country founded on the
American Dream. We all believe in a
better tomorrow, and so does Barack
Obama. Tis is a crucial time for our
country. We have to keep hope alive.
We can worry about the election
come election time, but as for right
now, we, as a majority, elected him
into ofce. President Barack Obama
deserves the support of the Ameri-
can people whether we agree with
his policies or not. Its time we give
him the respect and support he has
earned.

A closer look at the state of our country
By Ryan Schlesener

President Barack obama pauses during the State of the Union address at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012.
obama proposed new policies and legislation, including trading with China and incentives for domestic energy consumption.
A
h, its that most wonder-
ful time of the year! Film
lovers and flm sorta-lik-
ers alike recently awoke to a fresh
new batch of Oscar nominations
and have begun their month-
long protest against the Acad-
emys yearly incompetence. Yes,
theres nothing quite as satisfying
as rolling your eyes as hard as you
can at the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences.
Did you know the sentence
Wow, the Academy really nailed
it with the nominations this
year! has never been uttered? Its
true! Tats because the Academy
nominates great movies with all
the accuracy of a drunk chim-
panzee throwing darts at a wall,
except that even a drunk chimp
probably wouldnt have nomi-
nated Te Help quite so many
times.
Te most immediate disap-
pointment seems to be the lack of
nominations for Nicolas Winding
Refns Drive. No one was par-
ticularly surprised that it didnt
score a Best Picture nomination
and even less so that star Ryan
Gosling failed to get a Best Ac-
tor nomination, but Twitter has
gone crazy over Albert Brooks
absence from the Best Support-
ing Actor category.
Critics had hailed his portrayal
of mercurial mobster Bernie Rose
as revelatory, and he was seen as a
shoe-in at the Oscars. Afer fnd-
ing out he was snubbed, Brooks
tweeted, And to the Academy:
You dont like me. You really
dont like me.
Honestly, though, the most
shocking is the nominations for
Extremely Loud & Incredibly
Close. Despite being critically
panned, the saccharine flm about
9/11 and annoyingly precocious
children managed to score a Best
Picture nomination - probably
because it was about 9/11 and
had an annoyingly precocious
child as the lead. According to
Lucas Kavner
at the Huf-
ington Post,
Ext remel y
Loud is
the worst-
r e v i e w e d
movie move
within the
past ten years
to snag a Best
Picture spot.
Its not all bad, however: Te
Artist, Te Descendants, and
Moneyball predictably scored
a slew of nominations and the
Academy saw ft to throw a bone
to Terrence Malick and his flm,
Te Tree of Life. Additionally,
many great actresses and also
Glenn Close were nominated for
a wide variety of roles.
Part of the problem this year is
that 2011s roster of movies just
wasnt that great. Drive was
probably my favorite movie of
the year, and I wasnt even that
crazy about it. I can sympathize
with the Academy when even Im
not 100 percent sure what Id like
to win Best Picture.
Still, they could try a little
harder. Tere was a push to get
actor Andy Serkis, the man be-
hind many CGI characters like
Gollum and King Kong, a Best
Supporting Actor nomination.
He performed as Caesar, the
chimpanzee who started a revo-
lution in Rise of the Planet of
the Apes. While the CGI depart-
ment obviously deserves a lot of
credit for the role, critics hailed
Serkis subtle performance as he
went from wild animal to
ape-Che Gue-
vera.
No mi n a t -
ing him would
have been a
chance for the
Oscars to give
r e c o g ni t i on
to an under-
a ppr e c i a t e d
and little known actor, but if Al-
bert Brooks couldnt get in, what
chance did Serkis have?
If were being honest, though,
Ill probably forgive it all if they
bring the Muppets onstage to
sing.

T
he Republican primary
race is in full swing. A
primary race that started
with seven nominees has dwin-
dled down to four. Only Mitt
Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick
Santorum and Ron Paul remain
and will today go in front of the
Republican primary voters in the
state of Florida.
Prior to the February 21 South
Carolina primary, it appeared
that Mitt Romney would fnally
get his chance as the Republican
presidential nomination. How-
ever, following a dominating win
in South Carolina in which he
garnered 40 percent of the vote,
it appears that Newt Gingrich is
not out of the picture yet. And so,
as the nominees prepare to go in
front of Florida primary voters,
here are the reasons why I believe
President Obama will be facing
Newt Gingrich come November.
First, lets not forget the populist
choice, Ron Paul. Te U.S. Repre-
sentative from Texas ran in 2008
and gained a large amount of sup-
port from young voters with his
Libertarian and populist ideals.
He believes in pulling back troops
from overseas, cutting world aid
programs, putting the dollar back
on the gold standard and curtail-
ing the Federal Reserve, IRS and
the welfare state.
Because his message is popu-
lar with young voters, hell never
become a serious Presidential
contender. Te most active vot-
ing demographic in this country
is over the age of 45. He has stuck
around to spread his message, but
hell drop out at the last moment
and become the Libertarian can-
didate.
Another man whose days are
numbered is Rick Santorum. Te
former senator from Pennsylvania
is the most socially conservative
nominee remaining. Mr. Santo-
rums views include a strict oppo-
sition to same-sex marriage and a
traditional view on family values,
which has been juxtaposed with
the less than perfect family histo-
ry of Speaker Gingrich. However,
this election will be focus on eco-
nomic issues; socially conserva-
tive issues havent resonated with
voters. If Santorum is around by
Super Tuesday on (March 6th), Ill
be surprised.
Tis leaves us with the two men
that will likely duke it out for the
nomination. Te cool, calculated
Massachusetts moderate Mitt
Romney and the brash, never-
say-die former Speaker of the
House Newt Gingrich.
Tey couldnt be any diferent.
Romney is the Northeastern busi-
ness man; quick-witted, fnancial-
ly focused, and has a reputation as
a fip-fopper who lies somewhere
lef of the conservative heart of the
GOP.
Gingrich is the Georgian con-
servative gunslinger. As Speaker
of the House, he led the way for
the frst Republican-majority in
the House in 40 years but was
forced to resign in disgrace. Gin-
grichs South Carolina win was
based on the belief that he is more
electable than Romney, a quality
that had until recently, been tied
with Romneys name.
Speaker Gingrichs debate per-
formances led many to believe that
hed be able to compete with Presi-
dent Obama who is a great ora-
tor himself. Romney has painted
Gingrich as part of the D.C. estab-
lishment. At the same time, Gin-
grich has continuously played on
Romneys moderate reputation.
Teir policies arent all that dis-
similar, but their images are.
It is Romneys inability to per-
form in debates and wealthy,
moderate reputation that will hurt
him. Newt Gingrich excites voters
and will outperform Romney in
the more conservative states, hell
simply have too many delegates to
beat.

Danny and the Miracles,
Marios Miracle, and George
Bretts Pine Tar Game. These
are just a few of the most fa-
mous, or infamous, moments
in sports history, just to name
a few.
But not all special moments
in sports have to happen in
the biggest games or biggest
leagues. There are game win-
ning shots, underdog stories,
and angry outbursts in every
league, in every city, all across
the country.
From little league sports to
the pros, or from Division 1
athletics to intramurals, any-
one who has been involved with
sports has most likely witnessed
a special moment, be it positive
or negative.
Phillip Schmitt, a referee for
KUs Intramural Sports, re-
called some of the most memo-
rable moments he has witnessed
throughout his tenure.
Schmitt said he rememem-
bers one game in particular that
happened in the Elite 8 of the
league. With a two-point lead,
and only 30 seconds remain-
ing on the clock in overtime,
the ball was brought down by
a player who had been having
a great night from beyond the
three point arc.
The kid had been nailing
threes all night long, Schmitt
said.
Instead of making the safe
play and running out the clock,
the player, who had the hot
hand all night drove down the
court and pulled up for a con-
tested three, and drained the
shot to seal the victory.
This may sound like a famil-
iar scenario to KU basketball
fans.
In the 2010 NCAA tourna-
ment, with 36 seconds left on the
clock, and still 30 seconds on the
shot clock, Ali Farokhmanesh
sunk a three-point dagger that
sealed the Northern Iowa upset
over KU in the second round.
The player in the intramural
game hit a similar shot in an al-
most identical situation. While
his shot didnt earn him nation-
al recognition, it is still a shot
that he and his teammates will
most likely remember for quite
some time.
Close games coming down
to the wire are commonplace
in intramural sports, due to di-
viding teams into two leagues:
competitive or recreational.
Matt Beck, Director of In-
tramural Sports said, We try
to keep our leagues as com-
petitively balanced as possible.
If you play in the competitive
league, you cant play in the rec-
reational league.
The separation of talent is
sometimes evident toward the
end of games, when it may come
down to a clutch score, or a key
defensive stop to win the game.
In fact, just this year, the flag
football championship game
was decided on a game winning
catch in overtime.
Just because its not Division 1
or professional athletics, doesnt
mean special moments wont
happen in intramural sports.
Spring sports leagues began
play last night, and according
to the ku.athleague.com calen-
dar, events in either racquetball,
basketball, are scheduled Sun-
day through Thursday nights
every week throughout most of
February.

too few either, arguing that the
size of the rotation doesnt always
matter.
But that 08 team, we played
seven a ton of minutes, Self said.
You look at that team and we
had seven starters. I dont quite
feel that way this year. I feel like
we have six.
He was presumably speaking
of Conner Teahan as the extra
starter, whose 20.8 minutes per
game nearly double the action
seen by forwards Kevin Young
and Justin Wesley.
With only one bench player
seeing considerable action, start-
ers are being relied upon much
more than in the past. At the same
time, Self hasnt been happy with
his team near the end of a shot
clock after playing defense for
sometimes 30 seconds or longer.
One theory for the breakdowns
on defense is fatigue.
I would say the percentage of
people scoring against us is far
higher in the last seven to eight
seconds of a possession than it is
in the first 27, Self said. We dont
finish possessions.

Duke defeated in Durham
DURHAM, N.C. Nobody
beats No. 5 Duke like this. Not
this badly, and not on its home
court.
Well, nobody except for No. 3
Connecticut.
The Blue Devils had their 34-
game winning streak at Cameron
Indoor Stadium snapped in deci-
sive fashion, missing 19 consecu-
tive shots over roughly 12 min-
utes in a 61-45 loss to UConn on
Monday night.
The Huskies, the last team to
beat Duke here when they did it
in 2010, frustrated the Blue Dev-
ils with their defense.
Duke shot a season-low 24.6
percent against a UConn team
determined to take away the lane
and force the Blue Devils into a
jump-shooting team.
As a result, freshman star Eliz-
abeth Williams finished with 10
points on 3-of-15 shooting. Lead-
ing scorer Chelsea Gray had 11 of
her 13 points in the first half but
was 1 of 7 after the break for the
Blue Devils (17-3), who had won
11 straight overall.
Their two previous losses were
by a combined nine points, but
they finished this one 17 of 69
from the field.
We took a lot of shots, and I
think, hopefully, were going to
learn a valuable lesson when we
watch the film, coach Joanne P.
McCallie said. We broke out of
what we do offensively. We were
too one-on-one-oriented, and we
paid a price for that.
Bria Hartley scored 15 points
and Caroline Doty added 11
points for the Huskies (20-2),
who shot 45 percent and over-
came 21 turnovers by forcing 15
from Duke.
This particular group, Im
surprised, but were a really good
defensive team. ... Its difficult for
teams to get comfortable against
us, because you might have a dif-
ferent kid guarding you every
time down the floor, UConn
coach Geno Auriemma said. But
the effort was unbelievable. We
kind of pride ourselves on that.
We think were the best defensive
team in the country, and kids buy
into that. And theyre not an easy
team to defend.
Maybe not, but at times UConn
sure made it look that way.
Williams layup with just under
18 minutes left was the Blue Dev-
ils last basket until Haley Peters
hit a 3-pointer with fewer than
6 minutes remaining. Duke fin-
ished with only eight assists on its
17 baskets.
Its a great lesson for our team.
A great lesson on what not to
do offensively, and how not to, I
guess, rush yourself and do some
things that we shouldnt do, Mc-
Callie said.
Duke trailed by 14 late in the
first half before putting together
a 12-3 run that bridged the break.
The Blue Devils forced five turn-
overs in the first six minutes of
the half, and Williams helped
Duke close to 34-29 with a free
throw with 17:19 left.
Thats when UConn took over
and began stretching its lead with
3-pointers. The Huskies hit four
two by Kaleena Mosqueda-
Lewis in a 9-minute stretch
before Tiffany Hayes added a
bucket in the lane, pushing it to
50-33 with just over 7 minutes
left, and Duke didnt get closer
than 12 the rest of the way.
They did a good job of clog-
ging the lane a little bit, and
sometimes we would take too
many dribbles, Gray said.
Stefanie Dolson added 10
points and Kiah Stokes had 11 of
her 12 rebounds on the defensive
end for UConn.
The Huskies entered with
the nations toughest defense by
shooting percentage, holding
opponents to 30 percent. They
forced the Blue Devils into their
worst shooting night by far
their previous low was 32 percent
in a loss to Notre Dame.
Thats how you want to play
on the road, Hartley said.
The Huskies have dominated
this series lately, winning five in
a row since the Blue Devils over-
time win in 2006. They routed
Duke twice last season includ-
ing a 36-point loss that ended
the Blue Devils unbeaten start
to 2010-11 and a 35-point romp
in the NCAA tournament with
a Final Four berth on the line.
UConns last visit to Cameron was
a 33-point rout in January 2010.
But unlike all those meetings,
this one remained a game into the
second half.
I hope this team thinks we can
beat anybody, and theres some-
thing wrong with them if they
dont, McCallie said. And theyre
really going to regret when they
see this film (Tuesday).

Super Bowl amps up security
INDIANAPOLIS From pick-
pockets and prostitutes to dirty
bombs and exploding manhole
covers, authorities are bracing for
whatever threat the frst Super
Bowl in downtown Indianapolis
might bring.
Some nuclear terrorism, for
instance are likely to remain
just hypothetical. But others, like
thieves and wayward manhole
covers, are all too real.
Tough Indianapolis has ample
experience hosting large sporting
events the Indianapolis 500
attracts more than 200,000 fans
each year, and the NCAAs mens
Final Four basketball tournament
has been held here six times since
1980 the citys frst Super Bowl
poses some unique challenges.
Unlike the Final Four, which is
compressed into a weekend, the
Super Bowl ofers crowd, travel
and other logistical challenges
over 10 days leading up to the Feb.
5 game. And unlike the 500, where
events are largely concentrated at
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
about seven miles from Lucas Oil
Stadium, the NFLs showcase event
will consume 44 blocks about a
mile square in the heart of the
city, closing of streets and forcing
an anticipated 150,000 or more
NFL fans to jockey with down-
town workers for space much of
the week.
Tis is clearly bigger in terms
of the amount of people who will
be downtown over an extended
period of time, city Public Safety
Director Frank Straub said.
Under a security risk rating
system used by the federal gov-
ernment, the Super Bowl ranks
just below national security events
involving the president and the
Secret Service, said Indianapolis
Chief of Homeland Security Gary
Coons. Te ratings are based on
factors including international at-
tention, media coverage, number
of people the event attracts and
visits by celebrities and foreign
dignitaries, he said. Te Indianap-
olis 500 ranks two levels below the
Super Bowl.
Te city has invested millions
of dollars and worked with local,
state and federal agencies to try
to keep all those people safe. Up
to 1,000 city police ofcers will be
in the stadium and on the street,
carrying smartphones and other
electronic hand-held devices that
will enable them to feed photos
and video to a new state-of-the-
art operations center on the citys
east side or to cruisers driven by
ofcers providing backup, Straub
said. Hundreds of ofcers from
other agencies, including the state
police and the FBI, will be scan-
ning the crowd for signs of pick-
pocketing, prostitution or other
trouble.
One concern has been a se-
ries of explosions in Indianapo-
lis Power & Lights underground
network of utility cables. A dozen
underground explosions have oc-
curred since 2005, sending man-
hole covers fying.
Eight explosions have occurred
since 2010. Te latest, on Nov.
19, turned a manhole cover into
a projectile that heavily damaged
a parked car and raised concerns
about the safety of Super Bowl vis-
itors walking on streets and soar-
ing above the Super Bowl village
on four zip lines installed for the
festivities.
Since December, IPL has spent
about $180,000 to install 150 new
locking manhole covers, primar-
ily in the Super Bowl village and
other areas expected to see high
pre-game trafc.

Say what you will about soccer, but
there is no denying that it provides
more storylines for its fans than any
other sport.
Professional soccer leagues provide
multiple competitions each season for
teams to win. Teams can win the 38-
game season, receiving three points
for a win and one point for a tie. Each
league also hosts at least one domestic
tournament, some, like England, even
host two the F.A. Cup and the Car-
ling Cup.
To top it off, there are continental
competitions during the season as well.
The winner of the UEFA, or European
Champions League a 76-team tour-
nament between the threeorfour
best teams from each league in Europe,
is crowned the best team in Europe and
takes home possibly the most coveted
trophy in club soccer.
Its nice to crown a team champion of
something that actually plays the teams
theyre champions of, unlike the World
Champion St. Louis Cardinals.
But perhaps the most entertaining
and gut-wrenching aspect of soccer is
relegation. The lowest three teams from
every league are demoted to a lower
level league in that competition. This
makes games between terrible teams
remarkably compelling.
The emotion from the fans, players
and coaches of a team in relegation ter-
ritory seeps onto the field. The fans live
and die for their club. I encourage you
to go on YouTube and search for West
Bromwich Albion vs. Portsmouth 2004-
2005, or just relegation Saturday, to
see what this means to a fan and to the
players.
Imagine being at the last game of
the season for the team you bleed for,
a team you would give anything for, but
they have struggled the entire season
and are one of the worst in the league.
Now, imagine watching that game
knowing that if your team loses, they
will be sent to a lower league.In which
case, Your team will likely have to sell
their best players in order to bring rev-
enue back into the club, and you would
have to fight the next season to be con-
sidered relevant again.
If relegation existed in American
sports, my San Francisco Giants would
not have even been in the National
League in 2008 when they won the
World Series. Hell, my Sacramento
Kings would be playing around in the
NBA Development League.
Soccer leagues know how to create
reasons for fans to remain interest-
ed. Even if your team doesnt win the
league, it can still qualify for a conti-
nental competition. If your team doesnt
qualify for a continental competition, it
can still win a domestic trophy.
My team, Liverpool, may not qualify
for European competition, and it cer-
tainly wont challenge for the league,
but they just knocked off the top two
teams in English soccer last week
Manchester United and Manchester
City in both domestic tournaments.
So while Liverpool fans may not have
had all their dreams for the season ful-
filled, they still very much have some-
thing to cheer for, and thats what sepa-
rates soccer from other sports.

COMMENTARY
I
f this season is in fact the last
year of the Border Showdown,
at least it will go out with a
bang.
Saturdays game against rival
Missouri in Columbia promises to
be one of the most anticipated games
of the series in years.
With animosity between the
two sides dating back to actual vio-
lence in the Civil War, Kansas and
Missouri have taken this hatred out
on one another in athletic competi-
tion for 120 years. The history and
intensity of this series makes the
Border Showdown worthy of com-
parable national recognition as Ohio
State-Michigan, Alabama-Auburn
and Duke-North Carolina. However,
the rivalry has rarely received the
national exposure and hype that it
deserves.
That will change on Saturday.
ESPNs College GameDay will
make its first-ever trip to Columbia
to showcase one of the final meet-
ings between Kansas and Missouri.
For just the third time in the series
history, both Kansas and Missouri
will square off while ranked in the
top 10: Missouri at No. 4 and Kansas
at No. 8.
The whole nation will be watching
as a sold out Mizzou Arena bids fare-
well to the Kansas Jayhawks before
the eventual leap to the Southeastern
Conference. The Jayhawks are no
stranger to hostile environments, but
the scene on Saturday night will
blow away the Hilton Magic that
led to the Kansas defeat over the
weekend.
From the looks of it, this game at
Mizzou Arena should mean more
to the Missouri faithful than it does
for Kansas. The Missouri Alumni
Association is even holding a contest
for free tickets awarded to the person
with the three best reasons he or she
is not a Jayhawk.
Saturday nights game is the most
important regular season game in
the history of Missouri basketball as
beating Kansas in the last-ever meet-
ing at Mizzou Arena would give the
Tiger faithful bragging rights that
theyd cherish forever.
Is this game really the be-all and
end-all for Kansas? Absolutely not.
The Jayhawks lead the series 171-94,
so if the rivalry does end this year,
Kansas dominated the basketball
side. If both Kansas and Missouri
take care of business during the week,
the Jayhawks will enter Saturdays
match-up with a one-game lead on
the Tigers in the Big 12 race. Yes,
a win over Missouri would double
Kansas lead in the standings, but
there is still so much basketball yet
to be played.
Last Saturdays loss at Iowa State
and Missouris loss at Oklahoma
State further proved that winning on
the road in Big 12 play is never an
easy task, and Kansas cant put too
much emphasis on simply leaving
Columbia victoriously. Bill Self and
the Jayhawks cant get caught look-
ing ahead because thats what leads
to lackadaisical and uninspired play.
This weekends showdown with
Missouri may have the national
build-up as one of the biggest games
of the season. All eyes will be on
both teams as they prove that this is
not just another game.

rotation lacks rest
Kansas fghts for No. 2 spot in Big 12
Womens BasketBall
Bench Blues
With just more than 13 min-
utes to play in the first half of
Saturdays game against Iowa
State, senior guard Tyshawn
Taylor received an outlet pass
from Travis Releford and drib-
bled up the right sideline. He
led a 3-on-2 fast break in favor
of Kansas, but instead of doing
what hes known for getting
to the basket Taylor stopped
on a dime and attempted a
three-pointer about two feet
beyond the line. The shot fell
about two feet short, bouncing
innocently out of bounds into
the Iowa State student section,
giving the Cyclone fans a chance
to yell airball for the rest of
the game whenever Taylor had
possession.
Coach Bill Self immediate-
ly spun around and eyed his
bench, looking for a message
to send to Taylor in the form
of a substitution. Except Self
couldnt find any messengers in
blue uniforms. He had just sat
Elijah Johnson after a pair of
bad passes led to two turnovers
and had no other guards in his
rotation available. He decided to
leave Taylor in the game.
Were playing guys too
many minutes, Self said after
the loss. But were not getting
much from our bench at all
right now.
The decline in bench pro-
duction has certainly hampered
Self s opportunities to invite
players to take a seat after mis-
takes, but even a productive
starting-five needs a rest every
now and again. Four players
Taylor, Johnson, Thomas
Robinson and Releford are
currently averaging more than
30 minutes per game. If the
season ended today, it would be
the first time that many players
have averaged at least 30 min-
utes in Self s career at Kansas.
Self has had three players play
more than 30 minutes per game
in two seasons. In terms of win-
ning percentages, they were two
of his three worst seasons at
Kansas (2003-04, 2004-05). In
2003-2004, the bench consisted
mainly of Jeff Graves and David
Lee, but both were able to shoul-
der the load with 18 minutes
per game a piece. The following
season, there were four players
coming off the bench to form a
nine-player rotation.
I do think its hard to develop
great chemistry if youre playing
nine, Self said, but he didnt
agree that seven players were

Growing up in Tahlequah,
Okla., located approximately
three hours east of the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma, junior guard
Angel Goodrich was a dedicat-
ed Sooners fan throughout high
school.
For a while she considered
playing at OU and had the op-
portunity to go there afer high
school, but decided Kansas was
a better ft.
At 7 p.m. tonight at Allen
Fieldhouse, the Sooners (13-6,
5-3 Big 12), and the Jayhawks
will battle for second place in
the Big 12 Conference.
One might think Goodrich
would have a little more incen-
tive to beat her childhood team,
but shes not too concerned.
Ive been to their school
and I know (Oklahoma head
coach) Sherri Coale, but its not
just them. Its just like any other
game, Goodrich said. Im go-
ing in thinking about what I
need to do and what I need to
do to get the team ready for this
game.
In order to be successful, it
will be important for the Jay-
hawks to shake of their 74-46
loss to No. 1 Baylor this past
Saturday.
With two days of practice
and preparation underway for
the Sooners, the Jayhawks (16-
4, 5-3 Big 12) seem focused and
ready for the next match-up.
If we didnt go out and com-
pete our hardest, then it would
be a downer, but we know we
gave efort, junior forward Car-
olyn Davis said. Teres things
we need to fx of course, but as
long as we went in there with
the confdence and we played
our best. We just didnt come
out on the right end of it.
Even though this a crucial
point in the season, the Jay-
hawks understand theyve got to
take it one game at a time.
Te most important thing
is to not worry about them, that
will take care of itself, coach
Bonnie Henrickson said. We
need to fgure out how to pre-
pare and beat Oklahoma.
Some of the key players the
Jayhawks will have to look out
for include Sooner sophomore
guard Aaryn Ellenberg whos
currently in fourth place in
the Big 12 in scoring with 16.9
points per game.
Goodrich and the other Jay-
hawk guards will be defending
Ellenberg for much of the night.
She can shoot the ball. Shes
really quick. She can drive the
basket. She can do it all pretty
much. I just got to contain her.
Shes a good point guard, Goo-
drich said.
Te other major player the
Jayhawks will need to contain
is junior guard Whitney Hand
who has emerged as the No. 2
option for the Sooners lethal
three-point attack.
Te Sooners lead the Big
12 at 37.7 shooting percentage
from beyond the arc.
When Oklahoma is healthy
it has a well-developed front
court. However, the status of
Sooner junior forward Joanna
MacFarland is still unknown.
MacFarland, a Derby Kan.,
native, broke her jaw on Jan. 14
against Oklahoma State.
According to a story by Te
Oklahoman, Oklahoma coach
Sherri Coale expected her to be
out for at least two weeks. Mac-
Farland had surgery to repair
her jaw on Jan. 16.
Regardless of who will be in
the front court, the Jayhawks
will be ready for any scenario.
Teyre going to come in
hungry ready to take that spot
from us, Davis said. Its kind
of like were even right now.
Teyre thinking they can beat
us and were going in the same
way.
