Mangino Under Scrutiny: Film Sheds Light On Farming Industry

BY CLARK GOBLE
[email protected]
A football player has voiced his complaints regarding
physical contact by coach Mark Mangino and former
players said they arent surprised an investigation into
Kansas program was launched Monday.
The brother of senior linebacker Arist Wright con-
firmed that Wright had complained about physical
contact by Mangino with Wright in the past, but hadnt
spoken with him recently. His father, Lash Wright, said
he told Wright to wait until the end of the season to
address the complaints.
All I want is my kid to make it through these next
two games healthy and well go from there, Lash
Wright said.
I know that these things happened. But right now,
Im probably too upset to talk about anything. Im just
trying to reach someone down there to find out how
hes doing.
Former wide receiver Dexton Fields, who played
for the Jayhawks from 2004-08, said he never had a
relationship with Mangino beyond a player/coach
relationship. He said he thought Mangino wasnt very
well-liked by a lot of players, probably because of the
stuff thats surfacing now.
We understood the motivational things said, but
the negative things kind of occurred more than the
motivational from him, Fields said. Some of the
assistant coaches stepped in on our behalf. They did
more of the verbal abuse but it was to keep him off of
us. I think thats part of the reason guys didnt really
care for him.

Film sheds light on farming industry
BY HALEY JONES

Faster, fatter, bigger, cheaper:
Theyre the watchwords of the
modern American consumer as he
peruses the grocery store aisles.
And industrys response to his
demands can be seen on every
shelf.
The countrys appetite has
changed drastically in the last 50
years with the proliferation of easily
accessible processed foods and
inevitably, so has the industry that
feeds it. The documentary Food,
Inc., which is showing tonight
at Woodruff Auditorium in the
Kansas Union, explores the often
unappetizing production process
of food. It also raises many ques-
tions for local farmers about their
farming practices.
Food, Inc. investigates large,
national companies that comprise
the modern agricultural industry,
and is directed by Emmy-winning
filmmaker Robert Kenner.
Greg Beverlin, Paola junior and
co-coordinator for the student envi-
ronmental activist group Environs,
said seeing Food, Inc. motivated
him to buy locally grown food
whenever possible, but he recog-
nized the choice between cost and
quality for college students.
This movie raises a lot of ques-
tions, Beverlin said.
Factory Farming
Food, Inc. explains how the
nations systemic dependency on
factory farming, which produc-
es the greatest amount of food
at the lowest cost, has drastically
changed the agricultural landscape.
Chickens are no longer raised
they are grown with hormones.
Cattle is kept in crowded, unsani-
tary feed lots and fed an unnatural
diet of corn. Then they are pumped
full of antibiotics in an effort to kill
the bacteria growing in their stom-
achs as a result of their diet.
In the United States, livestock
consume 70 percent of all anti-
microbial drugs, according to the
most recent report from the Union
of Concerned Scientists in 2001.
Farmer Joel Salatin, who owns
Polyface Inc. farms in Swoope, Va.,
was featured in Food, Inc. He
said in an e-mail he adamantly
opposed this practice because it
compromised the original integrity
of farming.
The documentary asserts big
industry uses a pastoral fantasy
to sell products like beef and poul-
try. Although the bagged chicken
breasts in the freezer aisle have
undergone a very unglamorous
process prior to arriving in the
grocery store, the idyllic agrarian
imagery on its packaging suggests
otherwise. But local farm owner
Karen Pendleton said the docu-
mentary didnt surprise her a bit.
Nothing in those movies is any-
thing new, she said. I agree with a
lot of what the movies are saying,
Im just surprised that people didnt
know animals were raised that way.
Where did they think their chicken
came from?
Pendleton said it was easy to
get upset with big business, but
the country needed large industry
production because it was diffi-
cult to feed that many people on
a small scale. For instance, if each
person in a town of 100,000
slightly larger than Lawrence ate
chicken for one meal every day, it

karen and John Pendleton operate Pendleton Farms just outside of Lawrence. Karen Pendle-
ton said that the documentaryFood, Inc.didnt surprise her.

Robert Link has scaled the

Politics at 7:30 p.m.
The lecture is a part of the
Institutes Leadership and
Globalization in Sports series
that began last year with a
visit from Paul Tagliabue, for-
mer commissioner of the NFL.
Bill Lacy, director of the
Dole Institute, went on a climb
led by Link in Mexico nine
years ago. He said mountain
climbing had an interesting
place in the world.
The highest mountains in
the world are in developing
nations, Lacy said, Well be
talking about the impact of
mountaineering in places like
Nepal and Tibet.
One of the Himalayan
climbs was up Mt. Everest in
1990 with climbers from Rus-

the series, which the Institute
plans to continue annually.

Gus Rau Meyer Jr. always had a
passion for travel. After his death
Feb. 13 at age 27, his parents said
it was an obvious choice to set up
a scholarship for study abroad in
his memory.
This semester, his parents,
Gus Rau Meyer Sr. and Cheryl
Meyer, have been working with
the Kansas University Endowment
Association to establish a $32,000
study abroad
s c h o l a r s h i p
in their sons
name.
Gus Rau
Meyer Jr. grad-
uated from
the University
in 2005 with
two bachelors
degrees in busi-
ness and economics. He was a
fourth generation Jayhawk.
We were overwhelmed by the
response we had from contribu-
tors, Meyer Sr. said. He said that
the money came from more than
220 contributors, including him-
self and his wife. Gus really loved
education and the learning process,
and we decided KU was where we
wanted to set up a scholarship.
Sue Lorenz, director of the
Office of Study Abroad, said the
donated money would become a
continuing scholarship fund that
would generate scholarships for
many years to come.
Rosita Elizalde-McCoy, senior
vice president of communications
and marketing at the Endowment
Association, said that because of
the national economic crisis, there
were students who werent able to
study abroad without this kind of
scholarship.
This enriches their educational
experience as a whole when they
can become ambassadors of the
world, she said.
Meyer Sr. said when it came
down to choosing where the schol-
arship money would go, they had
to decide among three categories:
Creative writing, because his son
had developed a love for writing;
Native American culture, because
he was proud of his Choctaw heri-
tage; and study abroad.
His parents knew when it came
down to it that their son would
want to share his passion for travel
by giving to study abroad.
One of the things he learned
from his study abroad was that
you come back with an appre-
ciation about a lot of different
things, Meyer Sr. said. You learn
to appreciate the other culture as
well as how we live here and what
we call home.
By the time he graduated, Gus
Rau Meyer Jr. had already been
abroad three times.
In high school he spent a year in
small village in Venezuela. He then
went to Santiago, Chile, through
the World Scout Jamboree for
Boy Scouts, which he had been
involved in for years.
Once he got to the University,
his father said he wanted to study
abroad again, so he spent the sec-
ond semester of his senior year in
Australia.
More than anything, Gus loved
to be able to assist people who
needed his help, his father said.
He would be glad to know this
scholarship is going to help other
people get the same kind of experi-
ence traveling that he had.
When he died he was the sixth-
generation worker at the fam-
ily company, Rau Construction
Company in Overland Park. He
was a project manager.
Before his death, he had named
the Kansas City chapter of the
American Red Cross as the ben-
eficiary of his more than $50,000
life insurance policy, which has all
gone to local causes.
Lorenz said even though it
had been a few years since Gus
Rau Meyer Jr. studied abroad, his
enthusiasm was still remembered.
Reading and studying about
other places is beneficial, she said.
But living there and studying
there like Gus did actually aug-
ments that to a certain degree.
She said that time spent study-
ing abroad provided students with
several different opportunities, the
first being first-hand experience in
another culture.
He was a very passionate, opin-
ionated and giving person, Meyer
Sr. said. He partly enjoyed travel-
ing, but really enjoyed immers-
ing himself in the culture and
experiencing it at a different level.
He would be glad that the word
gets out for this and for people to
find something theyre passionate
about and follow it. Thats the way
he was.

seventh team in the Big 12 to earn a berth.
Kansas defeats Virginia Tech 24-21.
november 2007 Mangino is named Big
12 Coach of the Year.
december 2007 the Associated Press
names Magino National Coach of the Year.
July 2008 Mangino signs his second con-
tract extension, which raises his pay to $2.3
million per year through 2012. At the time,
Perkins says in a statement that This is an ap-
propriate reward for someone who has done a
terrifc job with the Kansas football program.
2008 Kansas goes 8-5, earning a berth in
the Insight Bowl the frst time Kansas has
gone to consecutive bowl games. The 42-21
Insight Bowl victory over Minnesota repre-
sents the twentieth win in two seasons, also a
frst for Kansas.
2009 After starting the season 5-0 includ-
ing one conference victory over Iowa State,
41-36, Kansas has since lost the fve Big 12
conference games.
oct. 31 Mangino benches Reesing, who
has been the teams starting quarterback
since the 2006, in a game against Texas Tech.
Mangino says he does not want Reesing to
take another hit in the game.
Monday After a loss to Nebraska, players
meet with Perkins about Mangino, but few
details are released.
tuesday Mangino, in his weekly press
conference, confrmed a 10-15 minute meet-
ing with Perkins, and takes questions about
the meeting. I havent lost the team
one bit, he said. I may have lost
some people around here, but its
not players. Take that for what its
worth, you decipher it. Reesing
confrms an independent, unbi-
ased investigation of the football
program.

Food, Inc. proposes a return
to a more localized style of life in
which consumers depend on local
growers.
Diana Endicott and her hus-
band Gary founded the Good
Natured Family Farms Alliance,
a co-op of farms in the Kansas
City metro area that provides
local farmers with a market to sell
their products. Endicott also sells
products to Sysco, the company
that supplies the University with
produce and grains for many of
its salad bars. Endicott, who was a
runner-up to be the White House
farmer earlier this year, said many
large corporations operated on an
outdated belief system that more
fertilizer equals more production.
Change will come from stu-
dents taking knowledge of new
food agriculture and transcend-
ing the ways people farm because
consumers will demand to eat
differently, she said.
Salatin agreed that consum-
ers held the power to change the
industry without a single regula-
tion, agency or bureaucrat. He said
fast food chains like McDonalds
drove the potato, lettuce, chicken,
beef, onion and tomato markets
worldwide.
If we boycotted industrial ham-
burger joints for just three days, it
would bring the entire industrial
food system to its knees, he said.
Couldnt everybody do without a
Big Mac for three days?
Stephanie Thomas, owner of
Spring Creek Farms in Baldwin
City, said the decision to eat
healthy would cost more than
eating less nutritious foods, but
would increase quality of life in
the long run.
Its whether you spend your
money on preventative health or
on prescriptions later, she said.
Real change, Salatin said,
wouldnt come from watching
movies or buying organic clothes.
We all tend to get excited
about telling other people what
they need to do, he said. The
only way you earn that right is by
doing the right things yourself.
So turn off the TV, rediscover
your hot plate or stove, buy only
raw and unprocessed food and
enjoy.
Food, Inc. starts at 7 p.m.
in Woodruff Auditorium in the
Kansas Union, level 5, and is spon-
sored by CCO EARTH, Environs

Fields also said he thought the
rumors that were now surfacing were
legitimate and had been occurring
since he came to Kansas in 2004.
Its been a long time that that stuff
has been happening and it had to sur-
face, Fields said. Of all the talent that
KU has there, it had to be some other
reason that KU isnt producing out on
the field. Its been long overdue.
Marcus Herford, another former
receiver for Mangino, said Manginos
way of motivating a player was by
demotivating him.
I knew it was a matter of time
before somebody reported it or said
something, because its been happen-
ing since I got there and Im sure
before then, Herford said. Im sur-
prised actually that it took this long
honestly.
Senior Todd Reesing said Perkins
told the team in a meeting Monday
that an unbiased person would con-
duct the investigation. Perkins dis-
cussed the matter with Mangino prior
to speaking with the players.
In his weekly press conference
Tuesday, Mangino declined to delve
into the details of the matter but
acknowledged he had a brief meeting
with Perkins.
I havent lost the team one bit,
Mangino said. I may have lost some
people around here, but its not play-
ers. Take that for what its worth. You
decipher it.
Mangino was asked if he thought
there would be any issues with the
program if the team were 5-1 in con-
ference games instead of 1-5. He firm-
ly said, No.
The fact of life is that these type
of things are going to come up when
things arent going good, Mangino
said. Thats life, thats how it works.
On hand for the weekly press confer-
ence, current players Darrell Stuckey,
Chris Harris, Tanner Hawkinson and
Huldon Tharp declined to discuss the
situation directly.
I just dont want to talk about
that because it would be irritating for
me to ponder on something, Stuckey
said. Its difficult for our team to go
through this week.

Gov. fle of avowed liberal,
late author Terkel surfaces
CHICAGO Long before the
FBI identifed him as a suspected
communist and spent decades
watching him and talking to con-
fdential informants about him,
late Chicago author Studs Terkel
came to the agency for a job.
Thats just one of the revela-
tions contained in a thick FBI fle
that the NYCity News Service
posted on its Web site after
obtaining it under a Freedom of
Information Act request.
The release of the fle marks the
most extensive look into Terkels
work and activities as viewed by
federal authorities, particularly by
the FBI when it was headed by J.
Edgar Hoover.
That the FBI kept such a fle is
hardly a surprise. Terkel was an
avowed liberal who supported
the civil rights movement and
opposed the Vietnam War. His
books and radio interviews stand
as a tribute to working people
and the downtrodden. Terkel
spoke and wrote openly about
being blacklisted during the Mc-
Carthy era, when studios refused
to hire actors, writers, directors
and others suspected of having
pro-communist sentiments.

Sarah Palins book is highly antic-
ipated in her home state but
shes no Harry Potter.
David Cheezem, co-owner of
Fireside Books in Palmer, said
people have been calling to make
sure theyll be able to get the for-
mer GOP vice presidential can-
didates memoir, Going Rogue.
Hes opening early with coffee
and doughnuts to celebrate the
Tuesday release.
Im excited about the event,
he said. Am I as excited as I was
for Harry Potter? No. That was
huge.
When the last three Potter
books were released, the entire
downtown area became a virtual
Hogwarts, the boarding school
for witches and wizards attended
by the boy wizard. Merchants,
including Cheezem, held trivia
contests, and shoppers dressed up
in character.
Palmer is adjacent to Wasilla,
the hometown
of Palin, who
resigned as
Alaska governor
in July. Cheezem
said hes hop-
ing some of that
regional connec-
tion spills over
to people buying
the book from
his store at the
full $28.99 price. So far, 23 of
his 100-book shipment are spoken
for.
People are not just buying the
book for political affiliations, he
said. Theyre buying it because
Sarah Palin grew up here and they
know her children and they know
her.
Other sellers are offering dis-
counts on the 413-page book, with
some national retail-
ers marking the book
at about $9.
Pa n d e mo n i u m
Booksellers in Wasilla
will knock off at least
20 percent, said stor-
eowner Shannon
Cullip. Her store has
100 copies available
and has another 100
sold through pre-
order, including 25 from just one
customer.
But there are a few non-fans
among the loving hometown
crowd, too.
Its always mixed, Cullip said.
People either love her or they
hate her. They either would rather
die than read her book or they
cant wait to read it and they think
everyone needs to read it, too.
Theyre buying
it because Sarah
Palin grew up here
and they know her
children ...

n order to curb the
dangerous practice of texting
and driving, the Kansas
Legislature should pass a law with
a reasonable fine as the penalty,
instead of leaving the decision
up to the individual discretion of
each police officer.
A lot of people think they can
drive safely while
texting, Sgt. Michael
Monroe said in a Nov.
9 Kansan news story.
And thats simply not
the truth. Even if its
just for a few seconds,
those few seconds can make it
unsafe for everyone around you.
Right now, police in Kansas
cannot pull someone over for
texting alone.
If texting is found to be the
cause of a traffic accident, the
officer can write a ticket for
inattentive driving.
This is not enough of a
deterrent to stop texting.
Also, if someone is pulled
over for another reason and is
discovered to have been texting
while driving, then officers may
elect to write a ticket, but this
does not directly address the issue
and would be hard to enforce.
A law going into effect in
January will prohibit those
with a learners permit or other
restricted license from operating
cell phones or text-messaging
devices while driving until six
months after they turn 16.
A ban for young and
inexperienced
drivers is a good
idea, but even
older, experienced
drivers should be
deterred from driving
distracted.
The punishment shouldnt be
extreme, but strong enough that
drivers will think twice before
texting and driving.
Repeat offenders should be
at risk of losing their licenses
for endangering other drivers.
However, a law shouldnt be
necessary for students to start
acting more responsibly.
Critics of these laws say its
government intruding into the
personal lives of citizens.
If texting while driving only
endangered oneself, if it were a
victimless crime, then it could
be argued that the government
was overstepping its bounds.
But the facts are that texting
while driving not only endangers
oneself but everyone else on the
road. A 2003 University of Utah
study found it to be as impairing
as drunk driving.
Drivers owe it to themselves,
to their passengers, to pedestrians
and to other drivers sharing the
road to be a responsible driver.
Feeling that the right to drive
distracted is more important
than the safety of others is not
only dangerous, its selfish.
How many text messages are
truly worth risking a deadly car
accident?
No one wants to get a fine for
doing what they have been doing
for years without a problem.
However, a preventative action
should be taken to ensure
nothing does occur.
When texting and driving is
putting other drivers in harms
way, a specific law with a fine
for a consequence should be
a welcome alternative to an
irreversible tragedy.

Dont believe in evolution
Health care in France
To the 308 million Americans
it concerns:
For the last three months
Ive lived in Paris while
participating in an internship
program for the School of
Architecture. Nearly every day
since I began, the sound of
an ambulance blaring down
Avenue Daumesnil outside my
room wakes me up before my
alarm does. After first wishing
that somebodys medical
emergency could have waited
another 45 minutes, I begin
thinking about the fierce health
care debate back home.
I cant say I closely examine
every new headline on health
care, but I do my best to keep
up. And it puzzles me, to say
the least, to hear politicians
such as Sen. Richard Shelby
(R-Ala.) and comedians such
as Glenn Beck suggest that the
U.S. boasts the greatest health
care system in the world. Thats
arrogant talk when representing
a country that ranks 50th
overall in life expectancy. I
would just as soon believe
someone who tried to convince
me that Utah State is better than
my Jayhawks at basketball.
Ive heard the criticisms of
socialist health care systems:
bad doctors and slow treatment.
Here I see no evidence of it.
Perhaps its better wine or more
potent espresso, but there are
millions of happy and healthy
people buzzing about Paris,
there are no lines of people
waiting to get treatment outside
hospitals and my morning
ambulance serenade proves that
those in need of immediate care
get it.
Furthermore, the French
government is even so kind as
to provide me health care for
being a legal resident. Last time
I checked, private insurance
companies in America are not
that generous.
Call it a public option or call
it socialism, the statistics dont
lie: People here live longer. In
France, life expectancy is 81
years old, in the U.S. 78. Lets
change this system first, then
our elected officials will have
an extra three years to fight
about it.

N
ext Tuesday is the 150th
anniversary of the publi-
cation of Charles Darwins
revolutionary book On the Origin
of Species. This will celebrate 150
years of dynamic scientific research
following Darwins original theory,
improving our understanding of
the role of evolution in creating the
diversity of life on earth.
It also reflects the concurrent
dissatisfaction and controversy that
has accompanied Darwins theory
throughout history. Although
many still dispute evolution as
either factually incorrect or morally
reprehensible for religious reasons,
Darwins theory of evolution is
purely a scientific proposition,
entirely exclusive and non-intrusive
upon religious ideas.
This month, however, the
Christian ministry Living Waters,
headed by Ray Comfort, has
promised to distribute more
than 100,000 altered copies of
the book to college campuses
around the country. Each of these
reprinted editions will contain a
50-page introduction promoting
intelligent design and refuting the
theory of evolution explained by
Darwin. This introduction attacks
the modern evidence for evolu-
tion beyond the scope of Darwins
investigations, such as genetics
and transitional fossils, but then
descends into a full-fledged attack
on Darwins character.
It paints Darwin and by asso-
ciation, his theory as a racist
and sexist, and even asserts that
Adolf Hitler was Darwins famous
student. Although none of these
personal attacks have any scientific
bearing on the theory of evolution,
they do showcase the profound
controversy between religion and
evolution that has persisted now
for 150 years.
Do you believe in evolution? I
dont, and neither should you. The
question itself is flawed. Evolution
is not something one believes in.
One does not have to have faith in
evolution, let alone any scientific
concept, in order for it to be true.
Constructing evolution as an idea
that must be believed forces it
be stagnant, unscientific and anti-
religious. This is the root of why
evolution and religion have clashed
so harshly for more than a century.
Do you accept evolution? I do,
and so should you. It is essential
to understand that evolution is
the best model for the history and
diversity of life on this planet. It is a
testable, scientific proposition that
can be supported or disproven by
further evidence. This distinction
between belief and acceptance may
seem superficial, but it highlights
the fact that scientists studying evo-
lution are not researching to justify
their own beliefs. We all pursue
the truth when it comes to this all-
encompassing idea for the nature
of life on earth.
The opponents of evolution
often describe proponents as
Darwinists who unquestionably
follow the doctrine of On the
Origin of Species. This caricature
is a tactic that makes the scientists
look like ideological servants to
Darwin, but scientists themselves
have proven to be the most critical
of Darwins theory. Darwin would
barely recognize the modern theo-
ry of evolution constructed today.
During Darwins time, there was
no knowledge of genetic variation
or mutation, and the fossil record
was sparse.
After enduring 150 years of
fierce criticism and relentless
attempts at falsification by scien-
tists, Darwins idea of evolution has
itself evolved into a stronger, more
fit theory.

T
ragedy is strategy. In
high school, when I was
merely a left-leaning
blabber (ranks arent really good
until they alliterate), I used this
slightly clever line in a song I
entered in a newspaper contest
to criticize President George W.
Bush. Sadly, Ive been seeing it
play out quite a lot recently.
Two weeks ago, a military
psychiatrist named Maj. Nidal
Malik Hasan opened fire on Fort
Hood, the base he was stationed
at in Texas. Several people were
killed or wounded, and the
nation was left shaking its head,
wondering what had happened.
Sadly, the inevitable happened
shortly after. People took a quick
look at the shooter, heard his
name and decided immediately
that he was an Islamic terrorist
looking to bring down the Great
Satan from within. There was no
consideration for the fact that
he was an accomplished military
doctor and held the rank of
major. No attempt to look at his
background, beyond his religion,
and see if there had been some
personal factor that caused him
to snap, as tends to happen
with the people who make the
decision to commit such heinous
acts.
A few days after the shooting,
I was in New York City for an
event sponsored by the Jewish
organization Chabad. There
I got to listen to a speaker
named Molly Resnick, an
Israeli journalist who spent
time working for NBC. At
some point, she brought up the
shooting, and began spouting
off on how it would have been
avoided if the military had just
racially profiled Hasan a little bit
more.
Apparently he occasionally
gave people on the base Qurans.
This is a terrible controversy, as
no member of the armed forces
has ever been exposed to a
religion, ever. And he had looked
at radical Islamic Web sites at
some point, which nobody in
the military, let alone somebody
with a background in the study
of somebodys mental state, ever
does. If you add these things up
with the fact that he is a Muslim,
that means they should have
known he was a terrorist all
along.
Thats right, a bloody rampage
was actually a victory for
racial profiling. It was also an
opportunity for Rush Limbaugh
to claim that Hasan was an
adviser to President Barack
Obama during his campaign, but
he never explained where that
came from. Also, Im convinced
that Limbaughs program is
actually an elaborate piece of
performance art, but I digress.
The attitude that being
just a little more bigoted can
prevent acts of violence has
been problematic in our society
for years. Racial profiling has
been one of the most egregious
problems with law enforcement
for as long as I can remember,
and even when laws are passed
to try and cut back on it, it never
seems to disappear completely.
Hasan is a monster for
what he did, sure enough. He
is a murderer and should be
punished for his actions. Thats
the thing, though. They are his
actions, and no one elses. That
he was a Muslim, or a member
of any minority group for that
matter, should not be seen as
relevant to the shooting until it
has been thoroughly investigated
and proven to be a factor.
Anything else is a knee-jerk
reaction, and a regressive one
at that.

Can you tell me how to get,
how to get to Sesame Street from
Jayhawk Boulevard? Celebrating
its 40th birthday, the show that is
still considered one of the most
influential childrens programs on
television actually has several ties
to the University. In honor of the
milestone, Sesame Street will be
brought to you today by the letters
K and U.
is for PuPPet
Aloysius Snuffleupagus, the
wooly-mammoth-type muppet
more commonly known as Mr.
Snuffleupagus or Snuffy, made
a lasting impression on Spencer
Lott, Lawrence senior.
I always loved Snuffleupagus,
Lott said. I was impressed by the
sheer size of him and how he was
manipulated when I was a child,
and he is just as exciting in per-
son.
In 2006 Lott was invited to join
the muppets and their masters
on Sesame Street to participate
in a weeklong puppeteer-training
workshop in New York. Only 50
puppeteers from the U.S. and
Canada were invited. During his
week at Sesame Street, Lott rec-
ognized the things he needed to
improve on as a performer, like
auditioning and improvisation.
I had to miss the first full week
of classes, Lott said. Some of my
professors were excited for me and
some of them were convinced that
I was a nut. One professor even
wanted some official Sesame sta-
tionery to justify my absence I
got a signed postcard from Big
Bird.
Lott said he wants to become a
professional puppeteer, but until
then, he is majoring in theatre and
performing puppet shows on cam-
pus. Lott said he was first drawn
to puppets after watching Sesame
Street way too much as a kid.
I started out enjoying it just
like every other preschooler, but
as I grew older, I became intrigued
with the puppets themselves, Lott
said. I was fascinated by it. I
looked for sewing seams to see
how they had been made. I looked
for arm rods and even the top of
puppeteers heads.
Lott said the KU theatre depart-
ment has provided him with an
excellent opportunity to develop
the skills he needs to reach his
dream. Along with designing and
building puppets, Lott said the
faculty and staff of the theatre
department have helped connect
him with potential contacts and
resources.

Rosemarie Truglio received her
Ph.D. in developmental and child
psychology from the University in
1990. Truglio is in her 12th year at
Sesame Workshop and is currently
the vice president of education and
research.
Her background in child psy-
chology from the University has
allowed Truglio to better under-
stand how to help children grow.
Sesame Street provides a fun,
inviting context that helps nurture
preschool childrens social devel-
opment in areas like cooperation
and diversity, Truglio said.
The Sesame Workshop is a non-
profit educational organization
that develops effective ways to
reach children, parents and edu-
cators.
Originally known as Childrens
Television Workshop, it began 38
years ago and identified the need
to help children from low-income
families become better prepared
for school. Its goal was to use
television as a tool to help children
learn, and Sesame Street was the
product.
Truglio is responsible for the
development of the interdisciplin-
ary curriculum on which Sesame
Street is based, which is the teach-
ing of more than one subject. She
also conducted research to better
facilitate the production of Sesame
Street, by enhancing both the
entertaining and educational com-
ponents of the program. Truglio
also develops and reviews the con-
tent of Sesame Street.
Sesame Street is an ongoing
experiment, Truglio said. Were
always trying to harness the power
of television to prepare children
not only for school but for lifes
lessons.
In 2001 Truglio co-edited G is
for Growing: 30 Years of Research
on Children and Sesame Street,
which shows the significant
role Sesame Street plays in the
education and socialization of
children. Her research, along
with the foundation provided by
the Universitys child psychology
program, is what Truglio said
helped her develop the Sesame
Street message for children.

Everyone grew up watching
Sesame Street, Ali Terkel, Broken
Arrow, Okla., senior, said. If not,
they should have. It was good,
wholesome fun.
Terkel is one of millions of chil-
dren who tuned in to watch Sesame
Street on a regular basis and repre-
sents a generation of viewers that
began watching the program when
it was two decades into existence.
Terkel said she remembered
dancing to the songs in her liv-
ing room and specifically an epi-
sode featuring the field trip to
the Crayola factory to see how
crayons were made. Some
of the important lessons
Terkel said she remem-
bered learning from
the show were how
things were made
along with learning
how to share and
count.
It is great to know
that a show that made such
an impact on my life is still run-
ning, Terkel said. I dont know
if its possible but if Sesame Street
stops running I will be sure to
teach my kids the same values I
learned from the show.
Kalani Makanui, Eugene, Ore.,
graduate student in child psycholo-
gy, said Sesame Street helped foster
enjoyment in learning and engaged
children in a way that promoted
intellectual growth.
Children are becoming
increasingly media-savvy and
continue to be influenced to some
extent by what they watch on tele-
vision, Makanui said. Sesame
Street, if I interpreted its intent
correctly, existed both to transmit
knowledge as well as to impart val-
ues of unity and social cohesion.
Makanui said he believed what
he has learned while studying child
psychology at the University con-
nects with the message of Sesame
Street.
The education and well-being
of our nations children are a top
priority, Makanui said. The
garden of humanity depends on
the blossoming of new generations
of creative and educated minds.

Colorado to tax medical marijuana
BY STEVEN K. PAULSON
Associated Press
DENVER Colorado is gear-
ing up to officially tax and regulate
medical marijuana dispensaries,
a move lawmakers say amounts
to legal recognition of a growing
industry.
The state Attorney General John
Suthers concluded in an opin-
ion issued Monday that medical
marijuana is considered personal
property that can be taxed and
shouldnt be treated like prescrip-
tion drugs, which are tax exempt.
The move would make Colorado
the latest provincial government
to tax marijuana for medical use,
after voters in California adopted
a similar program when the use
was legalized in 1996. Cities such
as Denver and Oakland, Calif.,
also plan to levy municipal taxes
on local cannabis dispensaries.
Colorado Sen. Chris Romer,
D-Denver, said he plans to intro-
duce legislation in January that
would require dispensaries to
buy licenses, as well as pay the
states 2.9 percent sales tax. He
estimates the state could collect up
to $15 million a year on the sales,
and communities could collect
an additional $45 million a year
through city and county taxes.
Revenue department spokes-
man Mark Couch said the state
has no official estimate but added
that California collected $11.4
million on sales of $142 million
in 2006.

SALT LAKE CITY Seven
years after she was abducted at
knifepoint, Elizabeth Smart finally
has an apology and a guilty plea
from one of her kidnappers.
I am so sorry, Elizabeth, for all
the pain and suffering I have caused
you and your family, Wanda Eileen
Barzee, 64, said Tuesday. It is my
hope that you will be able to find it
in your heart to forgive me.
The appeal came minutes after
Barzee pleaded guilty to federal
charges of kidnapping and unlaw-
ful transportation of a minor in
U.S. District Court.
She also said she was humbled
as I realize how much Elizabeth
Smart has been victimized and the
role that I played in it.
Smart, now 22 and preparing
to serve a mission in Paris for The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
day Saints, was not in court to
hear the apology. But her father,
Ed Smart, said outside court that
forgiveness was possible.
Absolutely, he said. We all
make mistakes in life ... and if
we cant forgive each other, heaven
help us.
During the hearing, he said he
hoped Barzee realized what she did
was absolutely wrong and abso-
lutely horrible.
Smart was 14 when she was taken
from the bedroom of her Salt Lake
City home, sparking a search that
riveted the nation. Nine months
later, in March 2003, Barzee and
her now-estranged husband Brian
David Mitchell were arrested after
they were spotted walking on a
suburban street with Smart.
Elizabeth Smart has said that
within hours of the abduction,
Mitchell took her as a polygamous
wife then raped her. Smart said
Barzee washed the teens feet and
dressed her in robes before the
ceremony.

Memphis tried its best Mario
Chalmers impersonation. And once
again, Kansas came out on top.
The Tigers missed the go-
ahead three-point jumper as time
expired, giving the Jayhawks a
57-55 victory in the Hall of Fame
Showcase Tuesday night at the
Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
Junior center Cole Aldrich led
the Jayhawks with 18 points, 12
rebounds and five blocks. But
the biggest performance wasnt
on the stat sheet.
Favoring his right thigh with
cramps, senior guard Sherron
Collins had several visits with his
trainer hoping to stretch it out.
But Collins limped back to the
locker room with around 7:30
left to go in the
second quarter.
With his team
struggling to
execute cohe-
sive offense, he
returned right
when his team
needed him.
I wasnt going
to sit out the
whole game, he said. I wasnt
going to let the cramps keep me
down the rest of the game. I was
going to get out there some way
and finish the game
off.
Leading by four
with three minutes
left to go, Collins
ran straight out of
the locker room
into the game.
Memphis whit-
tled the lead down
to two points in the
final minute and Collins had a
floater counted for goal tending.
On the other end, Memphis hit a
three, giving Kansas a one-point
lead with 16.7 seconds to play.
Collins was fouled right away
and only hit one out of two free
throws, but Memphis guard Elliot
Williams missed a three-pointer,
giving Kansas the victory.
Coach Bill Self said he thought
the game was well-played on both
sides except for Kansas offense.

Bill Self,
recruits
should be
trusted
All-world basketball recruit Har-
rison Barnes sat down for his press
conference to announce his college
decision Saturday. Six signs show-
ing the logos of most of the major
basketball programs in the country,
including Kansas, faced him.
But instead of throwing on a ball
cap or simply stating his college
plans, Barnes decided to Skype the
announcement of his decision to his
future coach, Roy Williams, at North
Carolina.
Williams, Kansas former coach,
yanked Barnes away from his former
program. A player Kansas coveted
went east.
But lets not look too much into
his ranking or any other recruits
ranking.
Lets just recognize that coach Bill
Self seems to recruit players that con-
tinually surpass the online appraisal
of Rivals, ESPN or Scout.com. Self
gets players who ft his program.
Barnes would have certainly ft well,
but Self will have a backup plan.
Kansas fans need to take a collec-
tive deep breath when looking at the
recruiting class for 2010, which cur-
rently contains just one three-star
recruit, Royce Woolridge.
Lets look at Self s recruiting class-
es since his arrival in Lawrence.
Consider the 2005 class as Self s
frst, because a coachs contact dur-
ing recruits junior year is ofen the
most crucial factor in where they
decide to play.
Tat class? Mario Chalmers, Bran-
don Rush, Julian Wright and Micah
Downs. Tree of them are now start-
ing in the NBA. Julian Wright was
Scout.coms highest ranked player at
No. 3. Rush was No. 12.
In 2006, Self brought in Sherron
Collins, Darrell Arthur and Brady
Morningstar an NBA frst-round-
er, a probable NBA player and one
solid college player. Collins and Ar-
thur werent the top-ranked guys in
their class at their position.
In 2007, Self didnt have much
room but picked up Tyrel Reed,
walk-on Conner Teahan and some
dude named Cole Aldrich, the No.
35 recruit in Scout.coms class of
2007.
Te book is still out on the 2008
and 2009 class, but its clear that Self
knows how to get players who will
make an impression.
Its about putting the right pieces
together. Maybe the No. 1 recruit has
more freakish potential, but maybe
the No. 42 shooting guard Wool-
ridge, is a lot safer bet to be a happy
part of the bench.
Who knows?
Mixing and matching is as much
a factor in a building championship
team as any recruiting ranking.
Believe in the system. Self wont
get every player that he wants and he
shouldnt expect to. With a couple
of scholarships available, Self will
probably fnd two more great players
in the 2010 class.
By now, Self knows his recruits
much better than any recruiting ser-
vice could. He has built a champion-
ship team once already with players
he recruited and might have built
another one this year.
Self should be trusted.

Kansas hopes for chance at NCAA tournament spot
By ZACH GETZ
[email protected]
With only four matches left in
the season, Kansas is hoping to
knock off another ranked oppo-
nent in order to make itself an
attractive pick for the NCAA vol-
leyball tournament. Kansas will
have its chance as it faces three
top 10 teams in its final four
matches of the regular season.
Fresh from an emotional vic-
tory against No. 21 Baylor and
a season sweep of Kansas State,
Kansas will travel to Ames, Iowa,
to face a daunting No. 8 Iowa
State team.
Kansas comes in with a 15-11
(7-9) record and has won six out
of the last nine matches. Iowa
State sports a 22-4 (14-3) record
with its only losses coming from
ranked teams. It is the only team
to defeat No. 2 Texas as well.
Coach Ray Bechard said this
match is coming at a great time
of the season.
They are a premier top-10
team, Bechard said. Thats
exactly what we need. With the
two ranked teams (this) week, we
need to find a way to get a win or
two to get some people to look at
us for the postseason.
The players minds are set on a
postseason berth, which may be
the reason Kansas has been play-
ing well lately, junior defensive
specialist Melissa Manda said.
Weve kind of realized what
were playing for getting close to
the end of the season, Manda
said. Picking up another win
from a ranked team would help
a lot.
Iowa State has been playing
well lately and has a lot of quality
players, Manda said.
They work really well togeth-
er, Manda said. They have a
really good defensive system and
their libero is really good.
Iowa State swept Big 12 confer-
ence volleyball honors last week.
Outside hitter Victoria Henson
was named offensive player of
the week, libero Ashley Mass was
named defensive player of the
week and middle blocker Jamie
Straube was named rookie of the
week.
While the team cant help play-
ing many ranked opponents in
conference play, its good to have
the chance to play ranked teams,
senior libero Melissa Grieb said.
Its good to play these high
quality teams because if we do
get wins like that, its better than
beating someone that wouldnt
help our case at all, Grieb said.
There is also a sense of urgen-
cy for Kansas players, especially
for the seniors, Grieb said.
Weve been working hard all
season and finally with the good
chemistry on the team that its
all coming together, Grieb said.
Every game could be your last.
There is urgency through the last
three weeks of the season.
Kansas season is shaping
up much like the 2005 season,
which was the last season dur-
ing which Kansas went to the
NCAA volleyball tournament. In
that season Kansas was 15-14 in
the regular season and played
nine ranked teams in the regu-
lar season. Kansas will face nine
ranked teams this season and has
victories against Oklahoma and
Baylor, along with a season sweep
of Kansas State.

The 5-0 dream season that

Jayhawk Nation finds ways to
cope by looking to basketball, and
on non-game days, occasional
tears. But despite the deep pains
inside, please know that the hori-
zon could still become brighter.
Other teams of the past have
defied their seemingly everlasting
doom.
The Team: The Tampa Bay
Buccaneers of 1976 and 1977
The Losing Streak: 26 con-
secutive losses
What Happened: Tampa lost
all 14 scheduled games in its first
year in the league. Fortunately, the
schedule hadnt yet been revised
to 16. The following season, the
team lost the first 12 before earn-
ing the franchises first victory,
defeating the once-horrendous
New Orleans Saints 33-14.
How They Overcame: It took
awhile, but in the late 90s and
early 2000s, Tampa Bay was home
to an outright vicious defense,
touting names like Warren
Sapp, Derrick Brooks, Anthony
Booger McFarland and Ronde
Barber. With coach Jon Gruden at
the helm, the Bucs went on to win
Super Bowl XXXVII against the
Oakland Raiders 48-21.
The Team: The Boston Celtics
of 2006-07
The Losing Streak: 18 con-
secutive losses
What Happened: The classiest
team in the NBA and its 16 titles
had suddenly became a laughing-
stock. Doc Rivers was looking like
a poor fit in the Hub and ex-Jay-
hawk Paul Pierce, the cornerstone
of the franchise, had his name
swirling through trade rumors.
The Celtics finally snapped the
streak, defeating the Milwaukee
Bucks 117-97 in Boston with the
help of 32 points from Pierce.
How They Overcame: The
next season, general manager
Danny Ainge traded his first
round pick in NBA draft for
Sugar Ray Allen. Then, free
agent Kevin Garnett looked east
and saw Pierce and Allen, fellow
stars without titles and waiting for
their third musketeer.
Thus, the Big Three was cre-
ated. Ainges wheeling and dealing
coupled with Garnetts unrivaled
intensity inspired the Celtics to
start playing some defense
absolutely incredible defense.
Rajon Rondos emergence as an
elite point guard and the trios
dominance resulted in the Celtics
seventeenth championship ban-
ner, soundly defeating the hated
Lakers in six games.
The Team: The Chicago Cubs
of 1908-present
The Losing Streak: 101 years
without a World Series
What Happened: It is known
as the curse of the Billy Goat
Steve Bartman and Milton
No Game Bradley. Just about
everything has gone wrong for
this franchise, and it continues to
reach for hope year after year.
How They Overcame: To be
continued ...
So how will Kansas respond
to its own woes? Next years new
wave of leaders features Kale
Pick, Toben Opurum, Bradley
McDougald and Huldon Tharp.
Their effect on the team is
unknown, but the traces of histo-
ry and the words of Tupac surely
tell us to keep ya head up.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dwayne
Bowe, in and out of his coachs
doghouse all year, is in much deep-
er trouble now.
Kansas Citys third-year wide
receiver was suspended without
pay for four games Tuesday for vio-
lating the NFLs policy against per-
formance-enhancing substances.
Neither the Chiefs nor the league
would make further comment and
Bowes agent, Todd France, did not
return calls seeking comment.
His loss is a blow to the Chiefs
(2-7), who have struggled in coach
Todd Haleys first year and been
particularly weak at wide receiver,
signing them off the street through-
out the year and then discarding
them and trying others.
The only constant at the position
has been the talented but exasper-
ating Bowe. Although the former
first-round pick out of LSU has
abundant ability, hes made a habit
of coming up with a spectacular
catch on one play only to drop an
easy ball or make a silly mistake
the next.
He was one of the first players to
run afoul of the new regime when
Haley replaced Herm Edwards this
year. Although he was clearly the
most talented catcher on the team
after the trade of tight end Tony
Gonzalez to Atlanta, he dropped
as low as third-team on the depth
chart and spent much of the sum-
mer fighting his way back.
I think that was good for me
overall, he said in an interview in
September. I didnt like it at the
time, didnt really understand why
it happened. But I think Im a bet-
ter practice player now.
Heading into this weekends
game against Pittsburg, Bowe leads
the Chiefs with 33 catches but
last weeks victory over Oakland
was a typical Dwayne Bowe game.
He had six catches for 91 yards
and played a key role in the Chiefs
fourth victory in 34 games. But
he also infuriated his coach when
he lined up on the wrong side of
the field on a key play. Forced to
waste a time out, Haley screamed
at him from the sideline and a
few minutes later was seen talking
intensely with his wide receiver on
the bench.
Bowe also had a season-high
109 yards in the Chiefs other vic-
tory, at Washington.
In his 40-game NFL career, he
has 189 catches for 2,483 yards
(13.1 ypc) and 16 TDs.
As a rookie, he played in all
16 games, making 15 starts and
finishing with 70 catches for 995
yards and five touchdowns. His
reception and receiving yardage
totals set franchise season records
by a Chiefs rookie.
Bowe started all 16 games for
the Chiefs in 2008, finishing with
86 catches a franchise single-
season record for wide receivers
for 1,022 yards and seven touch-
downs.

Mike Tomlins office and no doubt
spread throughout the Steelers
practice building.
Polamalu hasnt been ruled
out of Sundays game at Kansas
City despite injuring his left knee
for the second time this season.
However, it seems more likely he
will miss one game and attempt to
return for an AFC North game at
Baltimore on Nov. 29.
Polamalu is questionable at
best for the Chiefs (2-7), accord-
ing to Tomlin.
Questionable is a lot better than
out, which is what the Steelers
(6-3) feared their defensive star
would be after he strained a poste-
rior cruciate ligament.

The comforting familiarity of
Allen Fieldhouse will be nothing
but a distant memory during todays
first road test.
No. 19 Kansas will travel north
to Iowa City, Iowa, to take on the
Hawkeyes at 7 p.m. at the Carver-
Hawkeye Arena.
The Jayhawks look to improve
to 2-0 against a team they defeated
77-56 last year in Lawrence.
But the mysteries of the road can
often tell a different tale.
You walk in the door down 10,
coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Youve got to have some toughness
and some resiliency to be success-
ful.
Senior guard Sade Morris has
battled on the road for years and
says that its important to come out
with a bang.
Youve got to make yourself feel
comfortable and get a couple of easy
baskets, Morris said.
The Hawkeyes are already 2-0,
after defeating Santa Clara and
Illinois State last weekend.
Coach Lisa Bluder runs a young
team in her 10th season in charge,
led by junior Kachine Alexander.
The versatile guard is already
averaging 20 points and 15 rebounds
per game this season and is no
stranger to the triple-double.
Last year she became the first
player in Big Ten womens basket-
ball history to accomplish the rare
feat twice in one season.
Sophomore guard Kamille
Wahlin is also a dual threat with
her scoring abilities and gifted pass-
ing instincts.
Freshman center Morgan
Johnsons raw ability and 6-foot-5
stature sparks a match-up to watch
as she dukes it out with similarly 6-5
junior center Krysten Boogaard.
Theyre big and they shoot the
ball really well, Henrickson said.
In an attempt to decelerate Iowas
weapons and in reaction to last
Sundays sloppy victory against
Oral Roberts University, Kansas will
undoubtedly have a collective focus
on defense.
Theres no way that we should
let a team come in here at our home
court and score 80 points, regard-
less of how many points we score,
senior guard Kelly Kohn said.
Kohn said the team needs to pres-
sure the ball for four quarters and
deny passes, forcing the Hawkeyes
to work for their points.
Its still pretty early so a lot of
that is learning how to play with
each other, Kohn said.
The game has amassed greater
implications with preseason Big
12 favorite No. 8 Baylor dropping
its opener to No. 6 Tennessee last
Sunday.
Sandwiched between Baylor and
Kansas in the preseason polls, No.
10 Texas fell to No. 1 Connecticut
Tuesday, giving Kansas an early lead
in the fight for the Big 12 crown.
Weve got to come out and make
a statement, Morris said.
The only time Kansas has played
in the Carver-Hawkeye Arena,
they snagged a victory in the sec-
ond round of the 1998 NCAA
Tournament.
And Iowa certainly hasnt forgot-
ten about last years loss in Allen
Fieldhouse.
Theres a little bit of a target on
our backs, Kohn said. Iowas defi-
nitely going to want some revenge.
The heated showdown will
have a lighter side to it as well, as
the annual Buck Night means
$1 tickets enable even the most
impoverished students to check
out the action.
Kansas knows that regardless of
the outcome, its still too early to
use this game as a barometer for
the future.
If we win it doesnt guarantee a
great year and if we lose it doesnt
guarantee a bad year, Henrickson
said.

Focus turns to defense for road opener at Iowa
Andrew Hoxey/KANSAN
Sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland goes up to block the shot of an Oral Roberts University player during the Jayhawks regular season
opener Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas will travel to face Iowa tonight in its frst road game of the season.
Key to the gaMe:
Conditioning
Several Iowa Hawkeyes players are out with injury for this early
season match-up against the No. 19 Kansas Jayhawks. This has
forced several younger players to step into starting roles and also
depleted the Hawkeyes depth. In Iowas last game only six play-
ers earned more than 16 minutes and the players coming of the
bench scored a measly total of three points. Kansas runs an up-
tempo style of ofense and will likely come out fast as they did
by scoring 64 frst half points against Oral Roberts last Sunday.
Without production from players coming of the bench, Iowas
starters will likely be gasping for air at several points throughout
the game.
Keep an eye on:
aishah Sutherland
Sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland made quite a state-
ment in the frst game of the 2009-10 regular season. Against
Oral Roberts, Sutherland recorded a career-
high 24 points, easily surpassing her former
career high of 15 points. Sutherland also
played exceptionally well in Kansass two
exhibition games and seems to have started
this season right where she left of last season.
In the Jayhawks run to the WNIT champion-
ship game last year Sutherland averaged 11.8
points and 9.2 rebounds per game. Expect
Sutherland to continue playing on a high level
against Iowa as she shows no signs of slowing down and has
played some of her basketball in the second half of games this
season.
opponent to watCh:
Kachine alexander
Iowa Hawkeyes junior guard Kachine Alexander has been the
driving force behind her teams impressive 2-0
start. In an average of 34 minutes of playing
time this season, Alexander has grabbed a
total 30 rebounds and lit up the scoreboard
with 40 points. Against Oral Roberts, Kansas
struggled to defend freshman guard Kevi
Luper, a player similar to Alexander. Luper
scored 24 points and grabbed four rebounds
last Sunday. That bodes ill for the Jayhawks,
but Henrickson and her players have vowed to
make an improvement on defense. They will
have a big test tonight as they attempt to contain Alexander.

DURHAM, N.C. Nolan
Smith scored a career-high 24
points in his return to Dukes
lineup, and the ninth-ranked Blue
Devils routed Charlotte 101-59 on
Tuesday night in the second round
of the NIT Season Tip-Off.
Jon Scheyer added 20 points
and Kyle Singler had 17 for the
Blue Devils (3-0), who never
trailed, hit 12 3-pointers and shot
52.9 percent.
Duke went up by double figures
to stay before Charlotte hit its
first field goal and cruised into
next weeks semifinal match-up at
Madison Square Garden against
the TCU-Arizona State winner.
Shamari Spears had 20 points to
lead the overmatched 49ers (2-1).
Sloppy play and 33.9 percent
shooting kept them from their
first 3-0 start since 1995 and
denied them a second straight vic-
tory against a ranked opponent
dating to last seasons win against
then-No. 17 Xavier.
They had 17 turnovers 12 in
the first half, when this one was
decided.
Charlotte was expected to pro-
vide some measure of resistance
for the Blue Devils, who were
short-handed during their first
two games due to
injury and Smiths
suspension yet rout-
ed North Carolina-
Greensboro and
Coastal Carolina by
an average of nearly
30 points.
But with Smith
back in the lineup
after sitting out two
games for play-
ing in an unsanctioned summer
league, Duke had little trouble
claiming its NCAA-record 71st
straight nonconference victory
at Cameron Indoor Stadium and
31st consecutive home win against
an unranked opponent.
Smith seemed determined to
make up for lost time. He reeled
off eight quick points in just more
than 3 minutes, surpassed his pre-
vious best a 21-point outing
at Wake Forest two
seasons ago as a
freshman rough-
ly 8 minutes into
the second half and
finished 9 for 15.
Me a n w h i l e ,
Charlottes offense
at times resembled
a one-man show.
Spears, a trans-
fer from Boston
College who was no stranger to
the Cameron Crazies, had his sec-
ond straight 20-point performance
as a 49er.
But none of his teammates had
more than six points a big rea-
son why Charlotte was denied its
first victory against a top 10 team
since 2004.
Miles Plumlee added 15 points
and 11 rebounds and Brian
Zoubek added 13 boards for the
Blue Devils, who made the first
half look like one 20-minute-long
burst of dominance.
They went up 14-2 before the
49ers first basket Rashad
Coleman hit a layup roughly
3 minutes in as part of the
20-6 burst they used to begin the
game. By the midpoint of the half,
they were up by 20 on Scheyers
3-pointer in transition, and
pushed the lead to 30 on Singlers
finger-roll with 3 minutes before
the break.
Perhaps the only negative in the
first half for Duke: Scheyer com-
mitted his only turnover of the
season in 103 total minutes.

In the final seconds before half-
time in a first half that fea-
tured equally-matched sloppiness
from both offenses sophomore
guard Tyshawn Taylor stripped
the ball from a Memphis player,
dribbled up the court and flipped
the ball ahead to senior guard
Sherron Collins for a buzzer-beat-
ing layup.
Sure, the play provided Kansas
with a six-point halftime lead. But
it also illustrated the bigger picture
in Kansas 57-55 victory against
Memphis: Even on a night when
the Jayhawks struggled offensive-
ly, their defense still managed to
hold a lead.
It certainly wasnt pretty
Memphis hit big shots down the
stretch to make it close but it
was exactly the gritty defensive
performance good teams deliver
when things arent clicking on
offense.
It was a tough
game, a low scor-
ing game, so
that shows you
that both sides
defenses were
good, Taylor
said. Were going
to have games like
that. Its good to
get one in early
because were
going to have games like that in
conference and even in a couple of
weeks.
And it turned out to be exactly
what Kansas needed.
So far this season, Kansas
offense has proved to be highly
potent with multiple players capa-
ble of leading a scoring outburst.
But Tuesday night, Kansas offense
simply struggled.
The Jayhawks committed 21
turnovers. They didnt take care
of the ball in transition, and they
couldnt consistently find open-
ings from three-point range.
It only made Kansas defensive
effort more important.
Defensively and rebounding
the ball we were good, coach Bill
Self said. Offensively, we stunk.
In the games opening 20
minutes the Jayhawks routinely
clamped down inside, forcing the
Tigers to facilitate most of their
offense from behind the three-
point line.
And it certainly wasnt a recipe
for success.
Memphis connected on just two
of 14 three pointers in the first
half, including a handful of air
balls and shots that slammed off
the glass without hitting the rim.
Theyre a high-scoring team,
sophomore forward Marcus
Morris said. I felt like that we did
contain them really well.
After Kansas lopsided victory
in the first preseason game against
Fort Hays State earlier this season,
the Jayhawks emphasized the need
for an improved defensive effort.
Kansas appeared to do just that
against a young Memphis team.
The Tigers made 35 percent of
their attempts, often settling for
contested shots.
They didnt get many good
looks, Self said.
After cutting Kansas lead to
five points midway through the
second half, two Memphis play-
ers slashed through the lane on
consecutive drives to
the basket.
The problem?
Junior center Cole
Aldrich blocked both
attempts and gave
Kansas the ball back
in a crucial part of
the game.
Aldrich finished
the game with five
blocks and altered a
handful of other attempts.
I love blocking shots, and I
was able to block a few tonight,
Aldrich said. And if I wasnt able
to block it, I was able to make
them think that every time that
they drive in there, they were
going to have me come over and
contest it. That really helped us
tonight.
If Kansas sloppy offensive play
kept Memphis in the game, the
Jayhawks defense allowed them
to maintain a lead throughout the
second half.
In the end, Kansas simply man-
aged to make enough stops in the
games final minutes to shake off
an early season upset bid.
I think it was a great win just
because we had to fight, Aldrich
said. We just had to show a lot
of character, hunker down and
get stops.

Aldrich led Kansas with 18 points, 11

disruptive on the defensive end and pro-

MVP after the game.
Game to forget
Taylor
Sophomore guardTyshawnTaylor
Taylor never really got going in this one. He
missed all four of his feld goal attempts and
scored just two points. Worse, he committed
seven turnovers against Memphis high-pres-
sure defense. As coach Bill Self said after the
game, Tonight wasnt his night.
21
Thats the number of turnovers Kansas committed. The Jay-
hawks carelessly handled the ball for most of the night, allowing
the Tigers to keep the game close until the fnal shot. Kansas
simply needs to take better care of the ball.
One?! Did you watch the same crap I did
out there ofensively?
Bill Self when asked if there was one thing about his
ofense he needed to change.

9:03 Cole Aldrich had
not only one, but two con-
secutive Memphis shots
(40-35).
5:35 Marcus Morris
threwdown a two-handed
dunk (46-39).
2:45 Collins drove to
the hoop, and once inside
the belly of the defense he
gave it to Aldrich for a dunk
(50-45).
Corey Thibodeaux and Jayson
Jenks
said. That was in large part
because of them, I hope.
With Collins out of the game,
the offense looked lost. The team
only shot 46.5 percent from the
floor. Tyshawn Taylor assumed
his point guard duties only to
turn the ball over seven times.
Taylor said Collins is the key for
making the Kansas offense go.
He makes the game so much
easier for everybody around
him, Taylor said. And when he
went out, it was kind of tough.
Technically a road game,
Memphis and Kansas fans were
spread evenly. The teams were
as even as the fans they brought
with them.
Memphis constantly nipped
at the Jayhawks heels, spotting
Kansas around
five points for
most of the
game.
C o m i n g
into the game,
most thought
this would be
a wash.
Memphis is
inexperienced
in both player and coach and
is dealing with several injuries.
But Kansas didnt underestimate
the Tigers.
We never looked over them,
Marcus Morris said. We never
thought they were
a bad team. We
always knew they
would cause a lot
of match-up prob-
lems.
Freshman guard
Xavier Henry came
back to earth from
his debut perfor-
mance with only 11
points on 3-of-11 shooting.
The turnovers didnt help his
cause either. Henry had four of
the Jayhawks 21 turnovers to
go along with Taylors seven.
Aldrich said the turnovers kept
Memphis in the game.
We played pretty good
defense and were able to contain
them for the most part, Aldrich
said, but if we dont take care of
the ball, it becomes a really tight
game like it was.

SPORTS 6B WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2009
By RONALD BLUM
Associated Press
NEW YORK When the phone
rang, Zack Greinke let it go he
didnt recognize the number. Only
after listening to the voice mail did
he call back and find out hed won
the American League Cy Young
Award.
The Kansas City Royals ace eas-
ily beat out Felix Hernandez for
the honor Tuesday after a spec-
tacular season short on wins but
long on domination. Winning left
the extremely shy Greinke with
mixed emotions.
Back in Orlando, I havent real-
ly got a whole lot of attention from
people, which has been nice, he
said. So I hope it doesnt get that
way, where everyone is like, Oh,
hey, Zack, hi.
Hed prefer to remain anony-
mous when hes not on the
mound. Hes not looking forward
to being introduced at banquets
as Cy Young Award winner Zack
Greinke for the rest of his life.
In that way, its kind of like a
negative for me, he said.
Its been quite a turnaround
for Greinke, who led the AL in
losses in 2005 and quit baseball
for six weeks the following year
after being diagnosed with a social
anxiety disorder.
Greinke went 16-8 with a major
league-low 2.16 ERA this season
and received 25 of 28 first-place
votes and three seconds for 134
points in balloting by the Baseball
Writers Association of America.
Hernandez, 19-5 with a 2.49
ERA for the Seattle Mariners, drew
two firsts, 23 seconds and one
third for 80 points.
I thought it was going to be
real close between the two of us,
Greinke said.
Detroits Justin Verlander was
third with the remaining first-
place vote and 14 points, followed
by the Yankees CC Sabathia (13)
and Torontos Roy Halladay (11).
Greinke deserved it. Before the
season was over, I said my vote
was for him, Hernandez said in
Venezuela.
This has taught me that I need
to be perfect, I will prepare myself
to be stronger next season. I will
need a superb year because just
a good one, its not enough, he
said.
The NL winner will be
announced Thursday.
Despite what hes overcome,
Greinke doesnt view himself as a
role model.
I really dont like having a
bunch of attention, so even if I did
see myself in that light, I dont do
anything about it, he said. Im
real uncomfortable doing stuff
like that, to be around people and
doing stuff like that, he said.
He fidgeted a bit and spoke
softly during a series of telephone
conference calls and a video linkup
from a studio in Orlando, Fla.
Even before winning, this was
sure to be a big week for Greinke.
He is getting married on Saturday
to high school girlfriend Emily
Kuchar, a former Dallas Cowboys
cheerleader, and then is heading
to Hawaii for a three-week hon-
eymoon.
The 26-year-old right-hander
was the sixth overall pick in the
2002 amateur draft. He made his
major league debut in 2004 and
got hit hard the next year. After
leaving spring training in February
2006 to combat his anxiety, he
worked his way back to the majors
by late September.
Greinke was 7-7 the following
year and 13-10 in 2008 before his
breakout season. Greinkes ERA
was the lowest in the AL since
Pedro Martinezs 1.74 ERA in 2000
and his 242 strikeouts were second
in the league behind Verlander.
After speaking with a pair of
pitchers on opposing teams he
wouldnt identify them he cred-
ited an improved mental approach
in which he put all his focus on
each individual pitch he was
throwing.
But he did think he had the best
season. He said he had spoken
with teammate Brian Bannister
about his FIP a new-age sta-
tistic called Fielding Independent
Pitching, which is supposed to fac-
tor out defensive differences.
He allowed just 11 home runs
this year nine solo and two with
one man on, according to STATS
LLC. His victory total matched
that of Arizonas Brandon Webb
three years ago for the fewest by a
starting pitcher to win a Cy Young
Award in a non-shortened season
and was the fewest by an AL start-
er to win in a full-length season.
Steve Carlton was the only Cy
Young Award winner who pitched
for a club that was worse. The Hall

Kansas City, which tied for last

ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI Larry Johnson
might have his career up-and-run-
ning sooner than expected.
The running back who was ban-
ished from Kansas City for bad
behavior signed on for a backup
role with the Cincinnati Bengals
on Tuesday, giving the AFC North
leaders depth for the rest of this
season. He might not be watching
for long.
A day after coach Marvin Lewis
referred to Johnson as an insur-
ance policy in case of injury, he
said its possible the running back
could play in some form Sunday in
Oakland if starter Cedric Benson is
still limited by a strained hip.
Im not saying that it cant hap-
pen, Im not saying that it will hap-
pen, but stay tuned, Lewis said,
with Johnson sitting by his side.
Hed like to play, I know that. And
well see what happens as we go
through the week, as I said earlier,
regarding Cedric with his injury.
Johnson has his own goal for
getting on the field: Dec. 27, when
the Bengals play the Chiefs at Paul
Brown Stadium.
That could set up the second
get-even game for a Bengals run-
ning back this season. Benson was
carrying a grudge when he ran for
a career-high 189 yards against his
former Bears team on Oct. 25.
Johnson is toting one, too.
Id be lying if I said I aint look-
ing at that game as a game I want
to definitely play in, but we take
it a game at a time, one situation
at a time, Johnson said. Im just
trying to get on the field as of right
now. If that happens, itd be the best
Christmas gift I can get.
The Bengals waived defensive
tackle Orien Harris to open a roster
spot for Johnson, who knew hed
be listed fourth on the depth chart
to start.
I have to work my way back up,
Johnson said. You have to earn
your stripes, literally, in the situa-
tion Im in.
The signing came eight days
after the Chiefs let him go as he
was set to return from his second
suspension in the past 12 months.
The Bengals are taking little
financial risk by bringing Johnson
in for the rest of the season he
could be released if he becomes a
problem.
He knows whats at stake and
at risk, Lewis said. He gets an
opportunity to start anew, just like
anyone would. He has paid a price
for whats gone on, things hes said
and done, and it came to a finality
in Kansas City. And now its a new
start.
He got a second chance in
Cincinnati, which has a history of
providing them for troubled play-
ers. Owner Mike Brown brought
Chris Henry back to the team
before the 2008 season over
Lewis disagreement and the
receiver has stayed out of trouble
since then. Henry is out for the
rest of the season with a broken
left arm.
When injuries decimated their
group of running backs last season,
the Bengals signed Benson to a
one-year deal despite his two alco-
hol-related arrests in Texas. The
cases were dropped when grand
juries declined to indict, and the
Bengals offered a deal.
Benson has revitalized his career
in Cincinnati he ranks sixth
in the league in rushing with 859
yards and leads the NFL with 205
carries, only nine shy of his career
high with roughly half a season to
go. His backup, Bernard Scott, is a
rookie chosen in the sixth round
from Abilene Christian.
Benson couldnt finish an 18-12
vcitory at Pittsburgh on Sunday
because of his hip injury, which
gave the Bengals pause. The victory
left Cincinnati (7-2) in first place
in the AFC North by a game, in
position to make its second playoff
appearance in the last 19 years.
Lewis has assured Benson he
will remain the top running back.
During an interview Tuesday with
Sirius XM Radio, Benson sounded
open to it.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LINCOLN, Neb. Nebraskas
Ndamukong Suh says Kansas
States run-oriented offense might
be just what he needs to break out
of his slump.
The star defensive tackle didnt
have a sack or tackle behind the
line of scrimmage in the last two
games against Oklahoma and
Kansas.
Suh said he expects K-State (6-5,
4-3 Big 12), led by league rush-
ing leader Daniel Thomas, to run
right at the Cornhuskers (7-3, 4-2)
on Saturday in the game that will
decide the Big 12 North.
They want to come downhill on
you, Suh said. Thats great for me.
Thats my type of football not
the cutesy stuff we see the majority
of the time in our conference with
spread offenses.
Suh made four tackles against
Oklahoma and three against
Kansas, both of which used cre-
ative double-team strategies to tie
him up.
Coach Bo Pelini
said opponents
schemes show
great respect for
the Lombardi
Award finalist,
who on Tuesday
was named one
of 15 players to
watch for the
Walter Camp
Player of the Year
Award.
Pelini said hes told Suh to not
let the double-teams eat at him.
He thinks he should make plays
no matter how many guys are on
him, and he has for the most part,
Pelini said. Its been a tough row
to hoe for him, especially this
last week. I sensed a little bit of
frustration on him after the game
because he didnt feel like he played
well, but when you look at the film,
he played well.
Suh and fellow
tackle Jared Crick
redirected traffic in
the trenches in the
31-17 victory over
Kansas. Suh said the
lines overall perfor-
mance still rated an
F.
I have high expec-
tations, he said.
The Wildcats have run two of
every three plays this season, and
the 6-foot-2, 227-pound Thomas
averages a Big 12-leading 21 carries
and 106 yards a game. K-State is
rushing for 183 yards a game, third
in the league.
Suh said the Wildcats offense
plays to his strength, as long as they
dont run away from him.
You have opportunities every
single play to be a factor, and thats
not always true with the spread
offenses, he said. There are tons
of different things they do to get rid
of the line and deflate the defensive
line. Its nice going against a team
that wants to run the ball straight
at you.
Even though Suhs numbers are
down lately, there is some consola-
tion.
The Huskers have won three
straight, and theyll play in the
Big 12 championship game for the
first time since 2006 if they defeat
Kansas State.
Suh put up his biggest num-
bers in losses. He had eight tackles
against Virginia Tech and eight
against Iowa State.

Thunder use 20-1
run to defeat Heat
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI Kevin Durant scored
32 points, Russell Westbrook
had 24 and the Oklahoma City
Thunder added to their surpris-
ing start by beating the Miami
Heat 100-87 on Tuesday night.
An early 20-1 run put the
Thunder in control, and a 14-2
burst in the third quarter helped
seal it for Oklahoma City. Jeff
Green added 13 for the Thunder,
whove won three straight on the
road.
Dwyane Wade
finished with 22
points on 6 of
19 shooting and
Daequan Cook
scored 14 of his
17 in the fourth
quarter for Miami.
Jermaine ONeal
had 19 points
and 10 rebounds
for the Heat, who
visit Atlanta Wednesday for the
first time since the Hawks beat
Miami in Game 7 of last seasons
Eastern Conference opening-
round series.
The Thunder got off to a 6-32
start last year. This season, theyre
6-5.
Westbrooks 3-pointer with 6:40
left might have been the biggest
blow, considering it came after he
lost the dribble, while being close-
ly guarded by Mario Chalmers
and with the shot clock running
down. He swished it anyway, put-
ting Oklahoma City up 87-72.
Miami made a run, with Cook
scoring five quick points and
Wade hitting a 3-pointer to get
the Heat within nine, but Durant
answered with a turnaround
jumper and the Thunder werent
seriously threatened again.
Oklahoma City trailed 16-11
midway through the opening
quarter. Without warning, every-
thing quickly turned its way.
A 20-1 run over an 8-minute
stretch set the tone. Durant scored
10 points (plus had two assists),
Miami missed 10 straight shots
and a sequence at
the end of the first
quarter further
soured the Heat
mood.
Miami made
its run, largely
coinciding with
Durant not scoring
for the final 4:46
of the half. The
Heat scored 13 of
the final 19 points of the second
quarter, closing to 45-42 at the
break.
But the third quarter, all
Oklahoma City again.
Westbrook had nine in the
period, Durant had eight more
and the Heat opened by shoot-
ing 4 of 12 from the floor. It all
added up to the Thunder taking
a 74-59 lead into the final 12
minutes. Another big run this
time, a 14-2 spurt did most of
the damage, as Oklahoma City
stretched a tenuous 51-48 edge
into a 65-50 lead.
An early 20-1 run
put the Thunder in
control, and a 14-2
burst in the third
quarter helped seal it
for Oklahoma City.

They speak a different language
and use a logic all their own;
their inner sanctum is kept under
lock and key from the rest of the
world; and their creed, Big 12
Champs lines the walls. For a
select few, the locker room and
practices of Bonnie Hendrickson,
Danielle McCray and the womens
basketball team are revealed when
they serve as a guest coach.
The PreGame
In last Sundays game against
Oral Roberts University, Patti
Ryder from Kansas City, Mo., and
Cathy Bishop from Mission were
honored as guest coaches for the
womens basketball team. Forty
minutes before tipoff, Bishop and
Ryder filed in behind the womens
basketball players to head into the
locker room. The pregame talk is
where Henrickson and the play-
ers break down each player on
the opposing team, look at what
type of plays they want to run
and decide what each players role
will be.
As they were led past the sec-
tioned-off fans hoping for auto-
graphs, they entered into the heart
of Allen Fieldhouse: the locker
room. The newly renovated facil-
ity is a circular room where each
players name and locker face
inward toward the center. Bishop
and Ryder quietly slipped into the
back of the room on the outer rim
of the circle of chairs. As they sat in
awe of the locker room and play-
ers, they waited for Henrickson to
begin the pregame break-down.
Its so great to see the womens
team getting this kind of money
and attention spent on them,
Ryder said.
Ryder and Bishop have been
season ticket holders since
Henrickson came to coach at
Kansas. The guest coaches pro-
gram was brought to Kansas when
Henrickson came because the pro-
gram had flourished at Virginia
Tech. Ticket holders like Bishop
and Ryder, donors, community
members, faculty and mentors
are chosen for the guest coaching
position for womens home games
according to basketball opera-
tions director Trena Anderson. As
Henrickson enters into the locker
room she takes a brief moment to
introduce the outsiders, Bishop
and Ryder.
The secrets behind the womens
basketball teams success are neat-
ly and meticulously drawn out on
a large white board. Henrickson
gestures towards the board and
calls on McCray to break down
the first player. McCray can tell
the position, what hand she drib-
bles with, how she shoots and
what her weaknesses are. Each
Kansas player can rattle off these
stats about the opposing team
and Henrickson expects noth-
ing less for each and every game.
Ryder and Bishop try to keep up
as Henrickson and the players let
loose a fury of basketball knowl-
edge and insight.
Its so sophisticated how theyre
approaching the game, Bishop
said. Every detail is planned out
and the players have so much
knowledge.
The FirsT halF
The players and coaches head
out to the atrium outside of the
locker room to take the floor of
Allen Fieldhouse. Bishop and
Ryder stand within inches of
Henrickson and take high fives
from the players as they run past
to the roar of fans. They walk
onto the court like celebrities just
behind Henrickson and her coach-
es. The guest coaches are given
seats just behind the Kansas bench
for the game. Ryder and Bishop
decide to move one row higher
to be able to see over the athletic
giants like Krysten Boogaard and
Aishah Sutherland.
The Jayhawks take an early
lead over the Golden Eagles and
Bishop and Ryder settle in for the
game. As Angel Goodrich makes a
smooth behind-the-back pass for
McCray to score, Bishop jumps
to her feet and cheers. Theyre
so close they can listen in on
Henricksons timeout pep talks. In
the huddle Henrickson is almost
yelling to be heard over the fans
and announcer but Ryder and
Bishop can hear the adjustments
that she is making with the players
move to the baseline, man-up,
and dont let her box you out.
Bonnies adjustments sure are
paying off, Ryder said. Its hard
to hear it in the huddle but you
can see it on the court.
halFTime
After a rousing first half with
the Jayhawks up 64-42, the team
and coaches head back to the lock-
er room retreat. Ryder and Bishop
are let into the locker room with
just the players as the coaches dis-
cuss the first half. The players talk
among themselves, pointing out
mistakes, offering tips and self-
assessing what needs to be done.
Ryder is amazed by the leadership
of the seniors who are stepping up
to coach newcomers like Goodrich
and Monica Engelman. The room
goes silent as Henrickson and the
coaches come in.
Henrickson and the other
coaches pick apart the teams first-
half performance. Ryder feels like
everyone has a part and theres
a lot of two-way communication
between players and coaches.
The learning environment and
the structure of the team impress
upon Ryder the level that the team
is playing at. All around the locker
room pictures of the returning
players and the phrase together
were better reflect the camarade-
rie that Ryder feels as she listens to
the players and coaches work as a
team. Bishop said she hopes to be
able to see the complex plan from
the white board on the court in
the second half.
Its like theyre speaking a for-
eign language, Bishop said.
The second halF
The team files out to the court
for the second half, armed with
the knowledge to take down the
Golden Eagles. The Jayhawks have
a slow start but Ryder and Bishop
still maintain their cheers. All of
the coaching raises an appetite and
with Twizzlers in hand Ryder and
Bishop ride out the second-half
victory, 106-80. Even with the vic-
tory, Ryder and Bishop head into
the locker room behind the team,
which looks less than pleased.
Ryder and Bishop are flies on the
wall as Kelly Kohn laments letting
the Golden Eagles get 80 points
on the Jayhawks. Henrickson tears
into players like Sutherland and
Nicollette Smith who let players
outscore, out-defend, and outplay
them on the court. Its a humbling
experience for the guest coaches
to see the kind of pressure that the
players are under for each game.
Compared to me these are kids
and theyre playing at such a high
level, Ryder said. Its fantastic.
Before they leave the sanctity
of the inner realm of womens
basketball, the guest coaches are
thanked for their attendance at
the game. McCray said that its
interesting and gratifying for the
players to see people who are this
interested in being with the team.
An opportunity like this is a rare
event for proud Jayhawk fans, and
McCray, Ryder and Bishop agreed
they would all serve as guest
coaches if given the chance.
