Not enough ZZZs

n addition to physical and emotional exhaustion, a lack of sleep can affect students at work and school.
The study criticized college students for attempting to catch up on sleep over the weekend. This disrupts sleep for the coming week, said Carole Guillaume, a physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Marianne Middleton, coordinator at the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Sleep Center, encourages students to get more than eight hours of shut-eye a night. But she realized that the recommendation just wasnt realistic. School creates so much stress, she said. You just dont have enough time to sleep. Middleton said that as the volume of class work grew larger, students had to start eliminating other things from their

Some nights, Tio Duermeier never goes to bed. The Lawrence sophomore usually gets between three and six hours of sleep, but sometimes theres not enough time to sleep, he said. Duermeier relies on coffee to get him through his days packed with class, work, the Kansas Asia Scholars and juggling club meetings. Procrastination, usually through spending time on his computer, also keeps him awake. Despite the busy schedule, he said he typically completed everything he needed to though it may be between 2 and 7 in the morning. But Duermeiers sleep habits

may be upsetting the other parts of his life. A study published recently in the Journal of American College Health said students who were sleeping less than eight hours per night could miss out on a valuable sleep cycle that solidifies information in the brain. The process is called memory consolidation and happens during REM sleep, when most dreams occur. The study said college students reported significantly worse sleep quality than the general population. In addition to physical and emotional exhaustion, a lack of sleep can affect students at work and school.

day. Sleep, she said, often got cut first. No ones paying you to sleep, she said. Students erratic schedules make it hard to satisfy the bodys desire for routine, Guillame said. Those who adopt healthy habits will ultimately feel better. Gina Lauber, Topeka sophomore, regularly sleeps seven to eight hours a night. Unlike other people in her classes, Lauber said she stayed awake for lectures and could concentrate on what was happening. And for students like Duermeier, who dont have regular sleep schedules? Ive had some times in smaller classes where I want to be awake, Duermeier said, but I just keep realizing Im no longer awake. Edited by John Jordan

Student gets first stab at directing

Rachael Perry realizes that working as a director can be a thankless, stressful job. She knows that being overlooked in a production is a real possibility, but Perry does not let that bother her. The Topeka senior continues to keep working, making her full-length directorial debut this weekend. She is directing Stop Kiss, which made its premiere Thursday night at William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall. The play will be performed each night until Sunday. It is a tough go being a director because people dont realize what a director is. My parents will ask me, What is it youre exactly doing? she said. It is a needed part of the theatre but its kind of invisible. The Theatre Area committee selected Perry and one other undergraduate student to direct productions during the 2006 student play festival. Perry was chosen because the committee believed in her commitment to the play, said John

Staniunas, associate professor of theatre and member of the Theatre Area committee. We thought Rachael had the chops to pull it off because she was extremely passionate about doing it, Staniunas said. Stop Kiss is set in New York and revolves around the unexpected love story between two women named Callie and Sara. The play takes a dramatic turn when the couple shares its first kiss and a hate crime is perpetrated against them following it, Perry said. The play tackles serious issues such as homosexuality, race, and gender, she said. But the main point is that love is so transcendent that people can fall in love regardless of who they are. Despite no head director experience, Perry has been an assistant director for a number of different productions and said the knowledge she gained as an assistant thoroughly prepared her for life as a director. Members of the cast have applauded Perry for her transition from assistant director to director.

Students die-in for Africa

People killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo: 3.8 million. Children abducted in northern Uganda: 66,000. People displaced in Sudan: 2.5 million. Students from several organizations rallied together to put on the Die for Life demonstration in front of Strong Hall on Thursday, lying in the grass and holding signs with the total number of people killed and displaced because of the conflicts such as genocide in Sudan, extreme violence in northern Uganda and lengthy civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The die-in was used to raise awareness toward the conflicts in Africa and other international crises. We want people to know that these issues are going on and they

will not be ignored, said Rebekah Heacock, Lawrence senior and president of KU for Uganda. Students can make a difference, a lot of people dont think they can do anything because they are stuck in Kansas. They can have an effect on a childs life in northern Uganda or Sudan. I dont think many people know that. Participating in demonstrations, fundraising events or sponsorship are ways anyone can help, even in Kansas. KU FIGHT, Fighting Ignorance of Global Humanitarian Threats, KU for Uganda, KU UNICEF, the International Student Exchange Program, and Delta Force participated in the demonstration. The organizations asked the University to investigate its financial arrangements and dealings with the investment company TIAA-CREF.

Kansas Representative for the Genocide international Network Carlos Centeno, a graduate student from Caracas, Venezuela, center, holds a sign at the die-in held in front of Strong Hall from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. yesterday. The die-in was an attempt to prompt the University to release information regarding funds that might be assisting genocide in Sudan.

Four thousand University of Kansas students didnt heed the University announcements at the beginning of the semester asking them to change their passwords. They might be regretting that now. Because a KU username and password are required to log into the student Web pages, those students have not been able to use Enroll and Pay or Blackboard since Thursday. In other words, they cant enroll online. Bob Turvey, director of student information systems, said the main reason for this was that students didnt know they were supposed to change their passwords. The password aging process requires KU system users of Enroll and Pay, Webmail, Blackboard or anything else that

requires a KU username and password to change their passwords twice a year. The deadlines are March 1 and Sept. 1 regardless of when the password was previously changed. If a person failed to change the password by the March 1 date, that person cant access online services until it has been changed. Thats really a security issue. Thats there to protect a persons identity, Turvey said. The problem is that a large group of students were missed and were able to continue to access the online services without changing their passwords. The system is incapable of notifying users that their passwords are expired. So when their password expiration catches up with them a month later they are receiving an error message that only says, Your user ID and password are invalid, with no explanation included.

Funds donated where funds were not due

WASHINGTON The Agriculture Department loaned $9 million over six years to farmers who shouldnt have gotten loans, according to an audit released Thursday. The 98 farmers failed to fully repay earlier loans, according to the agencys inspector general. Congress considers those borrowers ineligible for future loans. Through its Farm Service Agency, the department is a lender of last resort; it loans money to farmers and ranchers who cant get credit from banks or other lenders. In 2004 alone, the department issued $323 million in loans, the audit said. The farmers got credit because department employees misunderstood the rules and approved some loans by mistake, the audit found. In other cases, debt history was missing from the departments automated system for tracking loans, or the system wasnt used, auditors reported. We conclude that FSA should improve its controls for ensuring that applicants whose previous debts have been forgiven ... are judged ineligible, auditors wrote. In response to the audit, the department said loans worth $1.5 million were actually eligible. Department officials also began collecting the other $7.5 million. The Inspector General agreed with the agencys response. Department officials also issued new guidelines for employees and is putting finishing touches on a new computer system that will do a better job of tracking debt history. The integrity of these programs is very important to us, department spokesman Ed Loyd said.

Five days later, workers at the Metro East Humane Society and at the countys neighboring animal-control building discovered the break-in. Carroll quickly became a suspect and investigators think he freed three other strays as a distraction. Titus was to be put up for adoption, authorities said.

Thief runs off with 600 worthless lotto tickets

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. A thief who ran off with a display cabinet full of lottery tickets will have little to show for his efforts, lottery officials said. The man walked into a gas station store last weekend, grabbed a display with 600 tickets inside, went back outside and drove off in a pickup truck, police said. Lottery officials were notified of the theft soon after it occurred. That means, despite what he might find by scratching off

the tickets, the thief wont win anything, lottery spokeswoman Pam Walker said. Each ticket has an identification number that is recorded in a computerized system with records of which vendor received it. As soon as we are notified (of a theft), we deactivate those numbers, and the tickets cannot be redeemed, Walker said.

The 14th annual AIDS awareness walk will take place Saturday morning in downtown Lawrence to raise money for the Douglas County AIDS Project. Geri Summers, executive director for DCAP, said she hoped for a turnout of 300 people for this years event, Hitting the Bricks to Stop AIDS. But because the event falls on Easter weekend, she said it could be harder for people to attend. The walk will start at 8:30 a.m. at Macelis, 1031 New Hampshire St., and continue through downtown Lawrence. At the end of the walk, participants will receive free brunch at Macelis. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. Summers said the walk was important for two reasons: bringing the community together to help reduce the stigma around HIV and raising money to provide necessary services.

Bill Smith, public health educator at the KU Wellness Resource Center, said this was the second year he was participating. Other staff members from the health center will join him on Saturday. Smith said others from Watkins Memorial Health Center donated money in the past couple weeks to the people who are walking. He said they raised about $170 this year, which is near the amount raised last year. DCAP provides services communicating health education concerning HIV and its prevention. It also provides free HIV counseling, testing, as well as management for those who test HIV positive. According to AVERT, an international HIV and AIDS charity, more than 6,000 young adults ages 15 to 24 worldwide become infected with HIV each day, which makes up nearly half of the daily newly infected population.

GTas still not satisfied with university contracts

The University of Kansas and its graduate teaching assistants have reached a stonewall in contract negotiations. The University and the Kansas Association of Public Employees, which represents the GTAs, will now seek assistance from Kansas Public Employer Relations Board to resolve the issue. Under the current contract, GTAs received an average 10 percent salary increase from 2003 to 2005, which resulted in a 33 percent increase in salaries. The GTAs did not receive a salary increase in Fall 2005. The University continues to believe that improvements in salaries and health insurance are of primary importance to most GTAs and University departments, said Lynn Bretz, KU spokeswoman. Unfortunately, KAPE

Hallman had promised Henrickson earlier in the evening that she wouldnt cry during her speech, and was able to maintain composure the whole time, though she admitted it was difcult for her to speak in front of a large crowd. Hallman took time to thank the coaches who stood by her during her academic suspension earlier in the season, and talked about the exciting end to the season. It has been up and down, but to go out on top is good, she said. The team nished the season with its rst postseason victory in seven years, defeating Northern Iowa in the preliminary round of the WNIT. The nal speech of the night was given by forward Crystal Kemp, who was also recognized for her selection to the All-Big 12 rst team. Kemp had the longest speech, but all the seniors kept their remarks brief. She started by thanking her family for driving in from Topeka to attend, including her mother, Janice, but made sure to point out that they had arrived late. I couldnt think of a better place to come and play basketball, she said. The seniors were then joined onstage by the rest of the players, with two exceptions. Freshman forward Sophronia Sallard did not attend. Her future with the team is still in jeopardy because of an unspecied medical condition. Freshman forward Jen Orgas was also not present. Orgas fainted during practice earlier in the day. While under medical care, she talked with Henrickson. She said, I really want to come to the banquet. I bought a really great dress, the coach recalled. Orgas didnt make it, but she still has three more years to attend the banquet.

We feel that the University is thereby indirectly, but nevertheless unacceptably aiding, a continuation of the systematic murder in Sudan, their ier stated. People who stopped and were interested in helping were asked to call Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback to ask for more funding to help bring peace to the conicts. Mark Skoglund, Olathe freshman and president of KU FIGHT, said he thought America gave no attention to international crises.

The rst sign that United States has made any signicant action was with the Darfur Accountability Act of 2005 offered by Sen. Brownback, he said. However, we do feel that this action is not enough. We feel its important, but more actions need to be taken. Reuben Dermyer, Olathe freshman, one was of the students who participated in the demonstration and said that this type of demonstration was an attention grabber. Nobody would go to a lecture who is not interested in it, but everybody walking by Strong Hall and Wescoe Beach will see this, he said. Its a good cause because it directly affects millions of people who normally wouldnt get any help. Edited by James Foley.

Ford plays George, one of Callies friends. Niccole Thurman plays Callie in Stop Kiss. The Shawnee senior said Perry has been good to work with because of her approachable nature when she was working with all the actors. If I disagreed with what were doing or I wanted to try something else, I feel like I could talk

to her, maybe even more than a faculty director, she said. As opening night creeps closer and closer, Perry said she felt the stress beginning to mount up. As a director, you cant do anything. It is completely out of your hands. If its terrible, then its your fault; that is a huge responsibility, Perry said. You have to take it moment to moment, because these last couple of weeks have been stressful. In the back of your mind you worry about it not working out, but it will come together. It always does. Edited by John Jordan students havent been logging onto systems that check. Catlin said there was often a surge of calls to the IT Help Desk during enrollment or when grades were posted because students had to log on to the system to access those sites.

INDEPENDENCE, Kan. A popular 16-year-old girls harrowing tale of being abducted at gunpoint from her familys driveway was a lie, authorities said Thursday, declining to say why the girl perpetrated the hoax. The police and FBI said Kelsey Stelting acknowledged Thursday morning that the abduction did not happen and that she spent more than 16 hours alone in an area southwest of Independence. Her disappearance prompted an Amber Alert, with the FBI bringing in 30 agents to join police and county ofcers in the search. Friends and family, meanwhile, papered the town with thousands of posters and iers with her picture, and at least two churches held prayer vigils for her. But police chief Lee Bynum and FBI Special Agent Jeff Lanza said investigators never obtained any physical evidence to corroborate the girls story, despite her frantic-sounding 911 call early Tuesday morning. Authorities never released a detailed description or drawing of the white male who the girl claimed kidnapped her, nor did they ever nd the

white van in which she supposedly had been kept. When she reappeared Tuesday night at the front door of a two-story brick home less than a mile away from her own home, she told the occupants that she clobbered her assailant with a glass in the woods nearby and ran away. Authorities acknowledged having suspicions early on that the girls story was false, and Bynum said that by the time Stelting acknowledged lying, It was not a surprise to me. Lanza said: Pretty early on, things werent adding up in terms of her story. If you have not one minor, even minor, small piece of evidence that corroborates a story, then you have a problem with the story. And we couldnt nd anything at all that corroborated her story, he said. Bynum said police would turn over reports to the countys juvenile prosecutor late next week to determine whether charges would be led. Lanza said he didnt foresee any federal charges. In state court, she could be charged with ling a false police report, a misdemeanor. An adult charged with that crime would face a year in jail and a ne of up to $2,500.

For the Jayhawks to have another successful season, expect Cornish to average 20-25 rushing attempts per game. Kansas ran the ball an average of 35 times per game last season. Without Cornish splitting time with Green in the backeld, freshman Angus Quigley and junior Brandon McAnderson need to step up and replace Greens production. Wide receivers Next season, the wide receivers will need to ll the shoes of Mark Simmons and Charles Gordon. Look for senior Brian Murph (33 catches, 368 yards, 2 touchdowns last season), along with sophomore Marcus Herford, junior Marcus Henry and senior Dominic Roux

to contribute at receiver. We had good speed at wide receiver, and we wanted to develop those players into good pass receivers and understanding the defense in front of them, Mangino said. Theyre way ahead of where they were last year at this time. Why Friday? Mangino said the game was scheduled for Friday night instead of its usual Saturday afternoon slot because of Easter weekend and next weekends Kansas Relays in Memorial Stadium. With a holiday weekend coming up and not having access to the stadium next weekend, we didnt want to practice Saturday night and then have our kids racing home Saturday night, Mangino said.

Issue: The Kansans report on posing in the buff Stance: Theres more to be said about Playboy and womens issues.
not. The other error in the story is that it did not pass one of the first tests of journalism: Who cares? These women merely attended auditions for Playboy. None even had been chosen for individual photo shoots at that point. Covering this event was comparable to writing about KU students sending in tapes for the Real World. Ah, but then there is the sex appeal, right? And true to form, the story put girls in their underwear on its pages with relish. Sure this is a college newspaper. Most of its male demographic still has hormones as powerful as their metabolism. Nonetheless, this at least could have been an opportunity to show the negative aspects of this kind of activity as well. So laugh or get upset or even turned on by the story as long as you are true to your own point of view and respect others opinions as well. Malinda Osborne for the editorial board

Another story angle needs to be revealed

You could almost laugh if the situation werent so pathetic. The KU female students who auditioned to pose for Playboy and featured in a recent University Daily Kansan story gave plenty of satirical ammunition. One woman quoted the bible to justify why she liked posing nude. Others said this would be great publicity for their prospective careers because they wont have one after graduating with a degree in communications. Not to attack these womens characters, but these comments are based off the only information provided about them in this story. As far as the article goes, those womens life ambition is to pose in the buff for a mens magazine. There may be more to these women, but that perspective is conspicuously absent. Understandably, these women have every right to do with their bodies as they please. And if they work hard to keep in good shape, then no one should resent them for taking pride in their physique. That is not the issue here, though. Instead, the issue is about demanding monetary compensation for exposing ones body for the sole purpose of sexual arousal. Counter perspectives say this dehumanizes and demeans women, whether they consciously want to admit this or

A true taste of Karma

Yelena Pavlik opinion@kansan.com Karma. Many hear the term and resolve to interpret it as the reward for a good deed. The cyclical pattern of this ideology, however, is not in the least about gain. Instead, the idea behind it is to maintain a balance and to strive toward a compassionate society. Karma is giving without the expectation of receiving anything in return. I got my first taste of karma in the most unpredictable way. Following a thorough scanning of a quaint hole-in-the-wall caf that a friend recommended, I randomly chose a booth by the window and sat down to what I thought would be a decent meal. Instead, I was greeted by a snappy, frazzled, fed-up waitress. After rudely shoving the menu at me, snapping when I asked for specials, mumbling under her breath that she hated her job as she wrote the order, and coming back with the wrong plate, twice. I was slightly frustrated. Discontent with the rude treatment, I was ready to leave without even touching the $7 meal, let alone leaving a tip. Then a simple thought occurred. What could that waitresss life be like? What had she gone through that very morning? Did she have kids to provide for, but could not? Did she get into a car accident? Was she terminally ill? It was more than likely none of those problems, but it must have been something. Something caused her to behave in the manner she did. The unhappiness that she obviously felt must have been hastened by the way a majority of others probably chose to treat her, because of her behavior. In a rash decision, I left the cold meal along with a $30 tip at the table and walked out the door. Some weeks later, after having long forgotten the waitress and the less-than-satisfying meal, I received a letter unrelated to the dinner incident stating that $40 would be returned to my bank account for an overcharge. It was karma. What goes around comes around. Perhaps. The fact that I gave a little bit and got even more in return could have been a simple coincidence, but the monetary reward was not something that I sought. The ideology of karma stems from an ancient Buddhist concept that has been adapted by todays society as a chain of cause and effect, giving a little in hopes of receiving a lot. The problem, however, of the misinterpretation of karma and many other seemingly selfless acts is the idea of gain. Simply put, if ones sole concern is gain, the cycle ceases to exist and nothing is given. Later that evening, I continued the cycle. After finishing a load of laundry, I stuck 50 cents into the washer for the next person doing a load. n Pavlik is a Plano, Texas, freshman in journalism.

Sex education gets lesson from Board of Education

OK, so heres my pitch for my most recent blockbuster movie. Its got everything: Sex and scandal. Im going to call it: Kansas State Board of Education: A Cautionary Tale. Lights up on the inner chambers of the Kansas State Board of Education. Inside, we see the board members, drenched in sweat from a busted air conditioning unit. They are just winding down from a heated debate. The godless heathens in favor of teaching sex education with contraceptives are simply digging their way further down to hell. Cue Kathy Martin, board member from Clay Center. Last month, Martin put forth a proposal to the board that would require sex education that focused on abstinence and the dangers of contraceptives. May I just say, thank God for the Kansas State Board of Education. Rarely before has one organization provided such fodder for ignorant, misinformed policies. The evolution debate was getting old, but I knew we could count on our old buddies in Topeka to make asses of themselves once again. I, for one, stand by Ms. Martins proposal. Too long have we, the young generation of sex maniacs, been living in sin. Why, if it werent for easy and affordable forms of birth control, I know my mind Mark vierthaler opinion@kansan.com would not even be tempted by the thought of female flesh. Never mind the fact that abstinence-only sex education doesnt work. A 2004 Washington Post article discussed the dangers of abstinence only sex-education. According to these federally funded programs, condoms do not protect from STIs as much as they claim. Good to know that not only are we encouraging kids to not carry condoms with them, were putting the fear of God into them as well. To make this situation more priceless, the board doesnt even really have any idea what its discussing. Are they talking about abstinence-only education? Or abstinence-based education? What about abstinence until marriage? At this point Im highly confused, said Sue Gamble, board member from Shawnee, in an article in The Kansas City Star. So, not only are we hoping to discourage sex by keeping our kids ignorant, were not doing it in a clear and concise manner. But heres the kicker: Kansas sex education already encourages abstinence, followed by the morally lax choices, such as spermicidal lubricants. Its nice to know the people out there actually teaching the subject understand the importance of teaching birth control methods in conjunction with abstinence. Whats scary is those above the teachers feel abstinence only is more than enough. In the same article in the Star, a Wichita sex education instructor named Charles Jenny said in an ideal world, you could teach kids not to have sex and it would work. But the real world out there is that some people are not going to do that. And to make sure that our children are being brought up with the proper moral code, Ms. Martin said our schools should risk losing their accreditation if they do not focus on abstinence. Thank God for her. Thank God for someone willing to stand up to proven birth control methods. So, remember all you sexual deviants out there: Its not your fault youre horny and you use condoms. Its the fact that nobody taught you any better. Take heart, even if your sex-education was substandard, youve got yourselves a part in my movie. n Vierthaler is a Dodge City junior in journalism.

I say now that student elections are over, lets turn our focus to the early workings of the 2008 presidential election. Lets get an early look at all the potential candidates, inform ourselves of their platforms and nominate an openminded candidate from each party. That way we wont have to pick between two extreme views this time around, and voting wont come down to picking the lesser of two evils. If we can pull that off, I think we will elect a president who is not out of touch with public opinion and will work for the people. Now thats something, no matter what your political affiliation, I think we can all agree on. n Wittler is a Wichita freshman in journalism and political science.

Why not raise ticket fees to fund athletic programs?

Editors note: The following comment was posted on Kansan.com in response to the editorial boards endorsement of increasing the Student Activity Fee by $20 to fund womens and non revenue intercollegiate sports. The initiative passed on Wednesday with 61 percent of votes. The comment appears unaltered and unedited. I dont understand why they dont just jack up ticket prices. Basketball tickets are impossible to come by unless you have the sports pack. Raise prices for general tickets and student tickets. Make those who support some sports support all sports and leave those of us who couldnt care one way or another about any of them with our 40 bucks.

ally well to keep the scores down, Price said of throwing in a ballpark that is just 330 feet down the left and right field lines. That will be especially important against a team with a .322 batting average as a unit, including 39 home runs. The Jayhawks are hitting .282, but collected just 13 hits in a twogame series against the 2-26 North Dakota State Bison. Price chose to play his younger guys in the midweek series, wanting some at bats for his less-experienced players. He kept that in mind when watching how his offense did against North Dakota State. You like to see those guys get on the field, Price said. At the same time, youd like to see them play better and deserve the right to play again. But obviously were a completely different club when we play on the weekend. Still looking for a Kansas-record 275th career hit, senior shortstop Ritchie Price is heading to a fairly safe bet of where to find it. Price is a career .550 hitter against Oklahoma State, nabbing 22 hits in 40 at bats. For the Cowboys, junior third baseman Tyler Mach is on a tear. Snapping a four-game losing streak on Tuesday against Dallas Baptist University, Mach led the way going 3-5 with a career-high five RBI and a pair of home runs. Mach leads his club with nine home runs a 39 RBI. Sitting at an even .500 in the Big 12, the Jayhawks are virtually a lock for an appearance in the NCAA tournament. All they have to do now is want it. It was kind of lackadaisical, like we were going through the motions, sophomore third baseman Erik Morrison said after hitting his team-leading ninth homer on Wednesday afternoon against North Dakota State. Hopefully well pick it up at the end of the week and get going this weekend. Edited by Gabriella Souza

Kansas to start away game set

By AlissA BAuer

abauer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer

After a healthy dose of home games, Kansas is on the road again. The Jayhawks (24-13, 6-6) headed to Stillwater, Okla., tonight for a three-game set against the Cowboys of Oklahoma State (19-11, 3-6). Even though Kansas has been successful at home this season, posting an 11-2 record at Hoglund Ballpark, Oklahoma State is a smooth 16-1 in the confines of Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. Named after New York Yankee pitching legend Allie Reynolds, the Cowboys have only left the comforts of home 13 times this season. While Kansas will play its 25th away game of the season tonight, the team has accumulated a 13-11 record away from Hoglund Ballpark. This includes road games against seven nationally ranked opponents. Oklahoma State, on the other hand, is 3-10 on the road, offering explanation for the Cowboys current eighth place

ranking in the Big 12 Conference. I think theyve been a little inconsistent, Kansas coach Ritch Price said. You look at their home record, theyve played a lot of home games in their non-conference season. The Cowboys are a perfect 3-0 in the Big 12 at home and a dismal 0-6 in Big 12 road games. None of which matter against a team that hasnt lost more than two consecutive home games since Reynolds Stadium opened in 1981. Its a hitters paradise, Price said. Its a short ballpark and the wind blows out. If you put the ball near, youve got a good chance of turning the game into a launching pad. Out to keep balls from flying off that launching pad is senior closer Don Czyz (5-0) and company. As a staff, the Jayhawk pitchers have a 4.21 ERA, compared to a 5.08 mark the Cowboys have put up. While Czyz leads the NCAA with 12 saves, the Cowboys have yet to record one. Were going to have to pitch re-

Third baseman gets second chance at D-1

By shAwn shroyer

sshroyer@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter

One new face Kansas will see in the Oklahoma State lineup this weekend will be Tyler Mach. The junior third baseman and jokingly aspiring professional golfer may be new to the Cowboy lineup this season, but hes no stranger to Division I baseball. In 2004, Mach was named to the all-tournament team in the Oxford, Miss., NCAA Regional as a member of the Washington Huskies. But issues with his grades sent him to the junior college level. I fell behind in the classroom, actually, so I ended up having to go to a junior college to catch up, Mach said. The next season at Edmonds Community College in Lynnwood, Wis., Mach made first-team all-league and

got his grades in order. When it came time to return to the D-1 level, he decided a smaller environment would be better for him. Thats what sold him on Oklahoma State. Its just a nice little college town. Its different from big Seattle, Mach said. I wanted to give it a shot. In his first year back playing D1 ball, Mach has started all but one game for the Cowboys and leads the team with 46 hits, nine home runs, 39 RBI and 80 total bases. Hes also second on the team with a .387 batting average and third on the team with 26 runs and a .672 slugging percentage. Travis Ingle, director of baseball operations at Oklahoma State, said Mach has emerged as a team leader. Hes been huge for our program, the way he plays on the field and the way he carries himself off the field, as well, Ingle said. Everything wed heard about, hes delivered.

Machs numbers match up well in the Big 12, too. As of Thursday, he had the third most RBI in the conference and was tied for the third-most home runs and seventh-highest batting average. Im more mature, physically and mentally, and just better prepared for the Big 12 than I was my freshman year in the Pac-10, Mach said. Despite Machs contributions, Oklahoma State has struggled as of late. The Cowboys began the season 15-4, but have dropped seven of their past 11 games and are eighth in the Big 12 with a 3-6 record. Mach can only hope his 3-for-5 day against Dallas Baptist on Tuesday with two home runs and five RBI will spark his team to play better in the conference. Its never fun to lose, especially getting swept, Mach said. You just got to learn from it and move on with it.

Theres nothing unusual about Machs attitude as a baseball player and his numbers could have him playing baseball professionally someday, but Mach certainly has an interesting idea of a dream job. Machs personal bio on the Oklahoma State athleticss Web site says his dream job is to be a professional golfer. How it got into his bio was a mystery to him, I dont even remember filling that thing out, he said, but he couldnt deny the advantages of such a career. They play golf every day. You dont got to run, you just go out there and swing the club, he said. Mach admitted his chances at being a pro golfer were slim, though. Im actually pretty bad at it, he said.

After a team meeting on the field that lasted more than 15 minutes, the Kansas softball team emerged from the dugout. Heads down, blank stares and somber faces the disappointing loss to rival Missouri was tough to swallow. Junior pitcher Kassie Humphreys said the team wanted to take the way it felt after Wednesday nights shutout loss to Missouri and use it for motivation this weekend. We need to move forward, she said. Kansas (21-20, 2-6) has an opportunity to move forward from the loss when it plays Texas Tech in a weekend series at Arrocha Ballpark. The Jayhawks and Red Raiders will face off at 2 p.m. Saturday. Texas Tech (16-24, 4-4) split a double-header with Texas-Arlington Wednesday night. It will face another double-header tonight against North Texas. Kansas hopes to extend its five-game winning streak against Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are led by senior pitcher Erin Crawford, who ranks 12th in the conference among pitchers. Crawford is 109 on the season with a 2.47 ERA. As of Wednesday night, Tech has won four of its last six games. Theyve had some good victories and theyre not going to be any pushover, Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said. Kansas will have two days of practice before Texas Tech on Saturday, giving the team time to learn from Wednesdays loss. Once again, the Jayhawks were unable to get clutch hits. Kansas had trouble on defense as well, allowing three Missouri players to reach base on bunts. One bunt rolled around on the infield and turned into a double, another rolled into right field. The key for Kansas this weekend will be regaining its confidence, especially on offense. The team has just four hits in its past three games. One of the few bright spots has been the Jayhawks pitching. Humphreys ranks second in Big 12 pitching and senior Serena Settlemier ranks third. Each is allowing less than two earned runs on the season. Bunge said her team needed to use the time rediscovering its confidence. Mentally they have to bounce back very, very quickly, Bunge said. This games about confidence and right now we sure dont look like a very confident team. Edited by John Jordan

You are coming from a strong sense of what is right for you. Rethink, taking in the big picture. Tonight: As you like. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others will want you to defer to them. You could be as stubborn as a Bull, or easygoing. Its your call. You might want to just not get involved, and let others not only have their way, but see the ramifications of their actions. Tonight: Say yes. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Emphasize what you can do, and dont get caught up in a roadblock or a need to change someones mind. If you really let go and let others be, your sense of well-being will be enhanced. Whiz through your work. Tonight: Easy does it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your perverse sense of humor and unusual creativity just might save the day when dealing with a tough situation. Dont say yes to anything you arent comfortable with. Loosen up and let your mind wander. Tonight: Start your weekend right. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Knowing when to vanish can make a considerable difference in what goes down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to rethink a decision more carefully at this point. You might not always be as in control as you would like. Understand what is going on with those around you, lighten up and live for the moment. Tonight: As you like. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH Maintain a low profile and/or take the day off if you can. You need and deserve some personal time away from the rat race.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your intentions might be excellent, but you will have to wade through others stuff to get your message heard. You will be greeted by success, and as a result, you and others will be happy. You just need to use your stick-to-itiveness. Tonight: Kick up a storm. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You might want to rethink a personal matter or be more careful with someone you care about. You could be a bit off or making a bigger story out of a situation than you need to. Lighten up. Tonight: In the limelight. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your vision of what might be workable could be a lot different from someone elses. Do some information-gathering, and you will come up with good solutions. Others will naturally bend for you if you don your pleasant manner. Tonight: Away you go.

COLUMBIA, Mo. Missouri athletic director Mike Alden says he is sorry. Sorry for the way he handled Quin Snyders resignation as Missouri mens basketball coach two months ago. And sorry for the criticism absorbed by the university over his decision to send Tiger

broadcaster Gary Link, who also is an Alden assistant, to deliver what essentially was a midseason ultimatum to Snyder: quit now or be red later. Unfortunately, in this particular case, some of our initial communication played out in a way that was not positive, Alden said. We apologize as to how that represented us as an institution.

Kansas to compete at rowing championship

The Kansas rowing team will head to Oak Ridge, Tenn., this weekend for the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship. The match will be the teams fourth match of the year. The team has dropped two of its last three matches, including last week against Kansas State in the Kansas Cup. The rowing team managed a victory in the First Varsity Eight race in the Kansas Cup.

The team will compete against Kansas State, Wake Forrest, North Carolina and Clemson in the two-day event. The Southern IRAs will prepare the team for the Big 12 Invitational that will take place on April 30 in Kansas City, Kan., along with the NCAA Championships.

Defensive line has big shoes to fill

Fans to get glimpse of team at scrimmage

kansan sportswriter

First snap tonight

p.m. in Memorial Stadium and is free to the public. On offense, the Jayhawks appear prepared for next season, with freshman Kerry Meier likely to start at quarterback and senior Jon Cornish at running back. The offense will have to overcome the losses of quarterback Jason Swanson, running back Clark Green and its top two receivers, Mark Simmons and Charles Gordon. Last season, the offense packaged plays to utilize the strengths of both Cornish and Green. They had to split time as a result. Were hoping that Jon is more a complete player so we dont have to do some packaging stuff, Mangino said. Mangino said that Cornish had worked on pass protection and catching the ball this spring, which he needed to improve on after last season. In tonights game, Mangino said the No. 1 offense would

Its hard to imagine mentioning football in the springtime when the Kansas baseball team is in the middle of its season. But the annual spring scrimmage is at 7 tonight, so KU fans can finally get a look at their Fort Worth Bowl Champions. The Jayhawks had a successful season last year, finishing with a record of 7-5 and a bowl victory. Kansas drilled the University of Houston 42-13, and proved that its defense was one of the best in the nation. Then-senior quarterback Jason Swanson was the MVP of the Fort Worth Bowl and played a vital part in turning the season around. But the team Kansas coach Mark Mangino will field on Sept. 3 will be a totally different team than the Fort Worth Bowl team. The defense lost a lot of talented, leaving a lot of big shoes to fill. Take a look at the defensive side of the ball and recite to yourself the players that have either graduated or moved on: Charles Gordon, Nick Reid, Charlton Keith, Jermial Ashley, Kevin Kane, Banks Floodman, Tim Allen and Brandon Perkins. The Associated Press named Reid and Keith All-Big 12 FirstTeam players last season. Reid was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year last season. Perkins set the KU record with five sacks in a single game against Louisiana Tech. It doesnt even end there. The defense also lost half of its secondary in Theo Baines and Rodney Fowler. Those core outstanding players were the glue that kept KU bowl hopes alive last season. Without this defense, Kansas would have only won three games last season. The Jayhawks finished the season with a run defense that ranked third in the nation. The 88.1 rushing yards per game allowed was only topped by Ohio State (74.5) and Tennessee (82.5). The total defense of 308 yards per game allowed was good for 19th in the nation and first in the Big 12 North. So Kansas loses its quarterback and the third-best run defense in America and things are supposed to improve? Granted, Kansas will not have to play Big 12 South powers Texas and Oklahoma next season. In non-conference games next season, Kansas scheduled a road game against Toledo and a nonpushover home game against South Florida, which is a member of the Big East Conference. South Florida hammered Louisville, a team that won nine of its 11 games, 45-15 at home last season. Im very interested to see the new defense at the scrimmage. I have no doubt that sophomore linebacker Mike Rivera will have an instant effect on the lineup next season and will run around the field like a madman. But who will help sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib and senior safety Jerome Kemp in the secondary next season? Who will anchor the other linebacker positions with Rivera? After tonights scrimmage, we should know a little more about the KU defense. Whoever ends up starting though, last seasons players set the bar extremely high. n Hall is a Woodbridge, Va., senior in journalism.

The annual spring scrimmage will give the Kansas football team an opportunity to see who will replace key players from last season. The game will be played at 7

play a combination of the No. 1 and No. 2 defenses. The defense will have to replace the top four tacklers from a year ago, as Nick Reid, Kevin Kane, Banks Floodman and Charlton Keith are graduating. FOOTBALL On pAge 4A

Freshman goalkeeper Julie Hanley catches one of Canadas shots during the second half of Thursdays game in Topeka. The Jayhawks lost the game against the Canadian National Team by one goal.

After Julie Hanley slid, jumped, and dove to block Canadian shots all game, the Canadian Womens National Team finally found the only way to put the ball past the Kansas goalkeeper: a penalty kick. With 13 minutes remaining in the second half of Thursdays exhibition, Canada forward Christine Sinclair scored the games only goal with a penalty kick, allowing Canada to Hanley win 1-0 against Kansas. Sinclairs goal was set up by one of the Jayhawkss only opportunity to score in the second half. Junior forward Holly Gault had the ball with only one defender to beat, but got tangled up and fell to the ground. No penalty was called, and Canadian goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc kicked the ball downfield past the Kansas midfielders. Sinclair received the ball and would have had a wide open shot if not for a penalty by the Jayhawk defense. On the ensuing penalty kick, Sinclair snuck the ball into the bottom right corner of the net past the freshman Hanley. Kansas tried to rally in the final 12 minutes to tie the match, but a slew of offsides calls took away potentially open looks on the offensive end for the Jayhawks. The 1-0 loss was the first of

the spring season for the Jayhawks, who are 1-1-2 for the season. Even with the loss, the Jayhawks can find positives in playing a close game against the Canadians, who had already beat Louisville and Purdue 9-0 and 6-1, respectively. I knew we could play them competitively, Kansas coach Mark Francis said. Otherwise we wouldnt be playing against them. The main reason Kansas was able to play competitively with Canada for most of the game was defense. Canada had possession of the ball for almost the entire second half but failed on their shot attempts because of defensive plays made by Hanley, freshman defender Kelsey Archuleta, and junior defender Nikki Alvarez. Throughout the spring season, the Jayhawk defense has allowed more than one goal only once, and their opponents have averaged just 1.25 goals per game. Defensively, we did a good job, Francis said. Spring is all about improving and playing the best competition. Edited by James Foley

Two things were celebrated at the womens basketball banquet Thursday night: the accomplishments of this years team and the birthday of coach Bonnie Henrickson. The team received a standing ovation and Henrickson was serenaded by the crowd gathered in the ballroom of the Kansas Union.

Since the womens basketball seniors traditionally do not address the crowd after their Senior Night, it was their opportunity to give a speech. Guard Kaylee Brown was the first to speak. She thanked her parents, who live in Oklahoma, for driving up to Lawrence for almost every game this season. Also thanks to my teammates, Brown said, for making me a stronger person. see senIORs On pAge 4A
