Laura Stiles sat back in her chair with a dis-
tance in her eyes and a wide grin. She pulled her
coffee cup up to hide it.
She was imagining a meteor shower from
her childhood stargazing: her fathers pas-
sion and her inspiration.
Stiles, Prairie Village senior, wants to be an
astronaut. She wants to walk on the moon
and be freed from the gravity of the Earth.
She came close last year when she took part
in a NASA program.
An engineering student at KU, Stiles said
she was afraid that opportunity was waning
all across the nation.
According to the aerospace engineering
chair, Mark Ewing, nearly half of the students
in aerospace engineering have an interest in
the space program.
That program has only one professor.
That professor, Craig McLaughlin, has been
allowed only one graduate student position to
help him with research. McLaughlin was unavail-
able for comment on this story, but Ewing said
McLaughlin has the daunting task of proving
economically valuable research. The problem is
that no one is asking for student astronauts.
We could double our student interest and
we wouldnt get a single new professor, Ewing
said. It is all about the research income.
The United States, in general, shows a national
disinterest in human space exploration. Projects
like the International Space Station, Mars
Exploration and the Constellation Program,
designed to send people to the moon, are being
put on the back burner and replaced with robots
instead.
Stiles said that the United States had not
sent a man back to the moon since 1972 and
if they cant educate kids well enough now,
no one will return in the future.
It will be a long time before robots can do
what humans can, Stiles said.
Ewing said the reason was simple: money.
It is much less expensive to put an electronic
arm into space than a person. You have to be
meticulous in how you design a spacecraft
carrying precious cargo.
You can lose a robot and it wont be a
major deal, Ewing said. If you lose a crew,
it is a national tragedy.
Ewing said that leaders have to think
about the benefit to the nation. How do we
get the most bang for our buck?
Ewing said that programs like GPS and
military satellites took precedence.
Could we learn about the universe
through robots? Ewing asked. I think so.
Ewing said if he had the opportunity to go
up, he would in a heartbeat.
Do people need to be inspired by the pos-
sibility of going into space? Ewing asked.
That is a tough decision. Thats a voter
decision, he said, but I dont think it will get
to the voters.
Stiles fears that if the national space pro-
gram is cut it will not only affect space
missions, but general interest in science and
math fields as well.
Stiles said her fathers generation grew up
inspired by the space shuttle era and passed
it on to their kids. She said if this genera-
tion didnt get the same opportunities, they
would have nothing to pass on.
Stiles said if KU could find a professor
who can provide students with real oppor-
tunities, he was most likely to go a university
that has a strong program already built, like
the Air Force Academy and the University of
Colorado at Boulder.
Recognizing this, Ewing said the depart-
ment was doing its best to pair with pro-
grams like the Air Force Academys.
The students at the Air Force Academy
design, build and test satellites. They are
backed up by strong military funding, Ewing
said. KU students can attach their projects to
their satellites for their research.
Marta and Byron Caminero-Santangelo
have worked together in the English
Department for seven years, but theyre not the
only husband and wife couple in the English
department. The Caminero-Santangelos say

spouse can have its advantages.

clinton: FunD it
Clinton said Sputnik inspired her as a child.
She said in a Sputnik anniversary speech
she wanted to see new bounds reached in
space exploration that compare to those in
the Eisenhower era. She said this will help
children learn math and science. She has
no intention of delaying the Constellation
Program. She wants to see America maintain
its leadership in space exploration.
obama: cut it
Obama wants to delay missions to the moon
and Mars to focus on building unmanned
missions. He intends to use the money
saved to fund other education based initia-
tives.
mccain: Keep it
McCain plans to continue along president
Bushs plan to send people to the moon. He
said on his campaign Web site that he was a
strong supporter of NASA. McCain is quoted
on his campaign Web site saying Let us now
embark upon this great journey into the
stars to fnd whatever may await us.
romney: Wait For it
Romney said he was not willing to make
a decision on where he stands without a
detailed investigation. He said in a speech at
the Kennedy Space Center last week that he
intended to support a vision and mainte-
nance plan for the future, but did not detail
a specifc stance on manned missions.

Organizations
Ballroom
DancingClub
By Helen MuBarak
hmubarak@kansan.com
Before joining the Ballroom
Dancing Club at the University of
Kansas, Merriam Ph.D. student Nick
Frisby admits that he has often felt
stressed in dancing situations.
Ill be honest Ive never had
the moves, said Frisby, who is now
the clubs vice president. Ballroom
dances like tango, salsa, waltz, and
swing allow for a more structured
initial approach. You can add your
own touch once you get comfort-
able, but having some basics to
focus on has really helped me come
to enjoy dancing as a social experi-
ence.
Founded in the 1990s, the
Ballroom Dancing Club now has
70 members and is open to the
entire Lawrence community. For
$25, members can attend up to six
hours of professional lessons per
week to learn the Rumba, Cha-Cha,
Samba, Jive, Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot,
Quickstep, Salsa, Merengue and
Swing.
The turnout each semester is full
of diverse people from different age
groups, Frisby said. Everyone gets
to meet one another since we rotate
partners throughout each lesson.
Although $25 may seem like a lot
of money to students, the clubs cur-
rent instructor charges $75 an hour
for regular group lessons outside
the club.
Associate Professor Kirk McClure
joined the club in order to learn how
to dance and later volunteered to
be the faculty sponsor. He said the
atmosphere at the lessons is never
competitive because no one cares
whether members are novices or
experts.
Dance is such a pleasant form
of exercise that people are naturally
drawn to it as a form of social con-
tact, McClure said.
McClure said the club includes a
large contingent of graduate students
at the University who come from
outside the United States. He said
few clubs provide the opportunity to
meet and interact with people from
such a range of nations.
Frisby said the previous lead-
ers energy and love of dancing are
responsible for the clubs friendly
atmosphere.
(The preceding officers) are
absolutely great teachers, and wel-
come people into their circle of
friends. Thats a feature you cant
build into a club you just have it or
you dont, Frisby said.
Ph.D. student Kellen Voss, the
current president of the Ballroom
Dancing Club, said the main attrac-
tion of learning to ballroom dance is
that it is so unique.
A girl loves a guy who can sweep
them off their feet, Voss said. Since
ballroom dance can also be applied
to many contemporary songs, it
always draws a crowd at bars.
Voss said that new members eas-
ily feel that they are a part of the
group.
Once they overcome the initial
fear of learning something new, it
becomes great fun and they seem to
gain lots of confidence, Voss said.
The clubs officers encourage
new members to try a few classes
before they decide to pay the dues.
The group practices on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Fridays from
7:00-9:00 p.m., but locations vary.
Additionally, about once a month,
the club organizes dances with a live
band at the Camelot II Ballroom,
1117 Massachusetts St.
For more information about the
club, email kubdc@ku.edu or visit
groups.ku.edu/~kubdc.

the hotel would improve sustain-

The bills creators said in-

BY ANDREW WIEBE
awiebe@kansan.com
Kansan reporter Andrew
Wiebe got the opportunity
to talk to G Love and Spe-
cial Sauce front man Gar-
rett Dutton III (AKA G Love)
about his hometown, musical
taste, love of performing and
everything in between while
the band toured through the
Midwest. Here is what trans-
pired. G Love and Special
Sauce will perform tonight
at Liberty Hall. Tickets are
$20. See the full interview on
www.kansan.com.
q: Its hard to kind of
pigeon hole your music into
a genre. If you had to explain
to someone what your music
is like, what would you tell
them?
A: Hip-hop blues.
q: What are your biggest
inspirations and infuences
musically?
A: Kind of a lot of Delta
blues like Robert Johnson,
John Hammond, Mississippi
John Hurt and Mississippi
Fred McDowell and that list
can go on. And then a lot of
hip-hop. I like Eric B. & Rakim,
KRS-One, De La Soul and A
Tribe Called Quest. I like a lot
of stuf like that.
q: What are you listening
to right now? What is in your
CD player or on your MP3
right now?
A: Right now Im listen-
ing to the rough mixes from
my recording sessions, just
kind of going over them
with a fine toothed comb
and making sure which
songs I like the best and
if anything needs to be
changed. Im just listening
to that right now and kind
of working.
q: I dont know if you
remember your show here
last year at UnionFest, but it
was just ridiculously muddy
and people were slopping
around in the mud, painting
themselves in mud and gen-
erally just getting in a groove
with your music. What do
you think the average G Love
crowd is like?
A: Super cool, funky
and awesome [laughs]. Just
good people, we have a great
crowd.
q: What has brought
you back to Lawrence for the
second year in a row?
A: Weve always had a
great vibe in Lawrence. Its a
town that we were in, trip-
ping on acid and opening
up for Blues Traveler 15 years
ago. That was one of those
weird, crazy nights in our
career. Lawrence is pretty
spooky with Stull nearby and
there is always a weird vibe
in Lawrence. Especially back
in the day, we used to have
these crazy vibes going in
Lawrence but crazy good. Its
just always been a town that
we ft and toured through
pretty consistently. I think
we were playing Lawrence
for fve years before we
actually played Kansas City
proper.
q: Where do you see G
Love and Special Sauce in 10
years?
A: I see us going down
the same road were going
up now. Hopefully our thing
will be growing exponen-
tially, which it seems to
be doing at a slow rate. I
see myself making records
and touring and doing the
same thing. Hopefully just
continuing to do it better
and better and writing great
songs and continuing to
strive for the elusive musical
perfection.

Commentary
During our education, we have
been taught that a fact is true. A fact
can be tested and can be proven 100
percent accurate.
On the other hand, an opinion is
only believed to be true. An opinion
rests on hypothetical grounds that
are far from sufficient, and they are
unable to create 100 percent cer-
tainty. I have come to believe that the
line between fact and opinion runs
very thin, especially when it involves
the media.
As college students, we have the
advantages of turning to a number
of different sources to get our news
and entertainment: TV, radio, news-
papers and the Internet. We live in
a society driven by media, and it
often becomes the vice we gather our
information from.
The sudden increase in unwar-
ranted opinions I seem to encoun-
ter in the media these days worries
me. The true sense of reporting the
facts has started to drown out. The
two opposites have become so inter-
twined that it has become hard for
people to actually tell the difference
between them in todays media.
There are two categories of peo-
ple: The people who assume there
are no such things as facts, only
interpretation and only opinions,
and the people who do not want
facts because they want someone
else to come up with conclusions
for them.
If we look at entertainment media,
for example: Britney Spears and
her atrocious parenting or Heath
Ledger and his uncertain death, we
can see a hodgepodge of reporting
opinions.
Lets take a glance at Britney. Last
May, she was seen carrying her baby
Sean in her left hand and a glass of
water in her right when she report-
edly tripped over the hem of her
pants, causing baby Seans head to
whip back violently.
This ignited a whirlwind of opin-
ions about Britneys parenting skills
and left the public doubting her abil-
ity to be a decent mother.
Heath Ledger was found dead last
week in his apartment in New York
City. His death was speculated to
be drug-related, but it has not been
proven yet. Supposedly pills and a
rolled bill were seen in the apart-
ment. Once again reporters went
crazy, assuming his death was drug
related, and they accused him of
doing hard drugs.
Im not saying this isnt a possibil-
ity, nor am I saying Britney Spears
is mother of the year, but with such
accusations, facts are essential.
I understand that the news busi-
ness is a fast-paced environment,
and as professionals, reporters must
give stories the edge they need so
that they will be read.
But have we become so suscep-
tible to gossip and tabloids that true
facts are no longer in existence? Are
we destined to be a nation driven
only by opinions?
Im really not sure, but I do know
that we should all question what we
hear and never underestimate the
ability of truth.
Dont worry, though. This is only
my opinion.
Durbin is a Hays junior in jour-
nalism and English.
On Jan. 23, there was a column
titled Natural Herb Flavors Stu-
dents Day. If you take the time
to look skeptically at the claims
made for the herb, you will fnd
that there is no good reason to
drink kratom tea.
Claim 1: It treats addictions.
There is absolutely no evi-
dence for this claim. Looking at
its history and illegality, it has
its own addictive properties. If
you are an addict, you should
seek real medical treatment, not
another addiction.
Claim 2: Increased energy
The only study (from Pubmed)
on the subject was a survey of
construction workers who drank
kratom and how they took lon-
ger hours. However, since there
was no control or placebo group,
this article proves nothing. There
is no way of validating any kind
of causation, even if there were
proper correlation.
Kratom is an opiate and is
banned for a reason. Its history
outlines a knack for addition, and
at $28 an ounce, this is some-
thing that you dont want cutting
into your rent payment.
Although this is a natural
herb, it has biochemical proper-
ties like any drug and should be
treated as such. Keep in mind
that when you are steeping your
tea, you have no idea how much
drug you are actually getting or
how dangerous the result will be.
If any person is claiming
health benefts for a high price
and no evidence, be skeptical.
Sincerely,
Sai Folmsbee

Its now second semester and time
to trade in your gen-ed requirement
No. 1 for gen-ed requirement No. 2.
For those of you enrolled in
Western Civ, this means a crash
course in philosophy. Boring, boring
philosophy. Youll read Nietzsche,
John Locke (yes, the bald guy from
Lost) and Rene Descartes.
These three, along with most of
the dead white men who fill our
syllabi, somehow got the funding
to sit around and do whatever they
wanted.
The ones we read in Western Civ
II chose to ponder the meaning and
essence of being.
In these readings, you will find
theories and ideas that you never
knew were worth thinking about.
These readings are not meant to
consume your thoughts. They are
supposed to form your opinions
about what actually matters.
The problem with these readings
is that they have some very quotable
parts.
You probably already know that
Nietzsche said, God is dead, and
Descartes said, I think, therefore I
am. Locke didnt say anything very
quotable, but he loved the idea of
property and spontaneously recov-
ered from paralysis.
Fortunately, most people leave
these quotations where they found
them.
But, of course, some dont.
Someday, you will find yourself in
class with someone who has saved
up a Western Civ II gem to blow
everyones mind.
If someone says I think, there-
fore I am, he or she is either a hip-
pie who likes to get high and think
about stuff, or a philosophy major
who grew up in a neighborhood
without other kids to play with and
resorted to books.
This person might continue talk-
ing about the illusion of reality,
even using the phrase verbatim.
This can happen anywhere.
It happened in my American
Literature II class.
Do not let them get away with
this. Walk over to those people and
slap them with an open palm.
Before they can respond, just tell
them that you didnt really hit them.
Its only an illusion, and they simply
perceive pain.
If you cant bring yourself to
physically abuse your peers just to
prove a point, do what I do.
Silently judge them and passive-
aggressively complain about them
to your friends (or to an entire cam-
pus, depending on the circulation of
your whining).
I think, therefore I am was
not Descartes point it was his
proof. He argued that the only
certainty a person has is that he
exists. Everything else is possibly
an illusion.
If you quote Descartes, then good,
you remembered one sentence.
I cant give you the context of
God is dead because I skipped that
book. I got a B. Life goes on.
People who repeat one memo-
rized sentence need to be treated
like the lazy know-nothings that
they are. These people try to appear
smart without actually formulating
their own thoughts.
Quoting other philosophers
doesnt prove anything or add to a
discussion.
Who cares what Descartes and
Nietzsche said. What do you say?
Add that to the class discussion. Use
the readings as a jumping-off point
to explore your own ideas.
If your teacher isnt receptive to
this, do it anyway. Youre paying to
take the class, and the teacher is
your employee.
But at least think before you
speak.

nior in creative writing.

If downtown business owners get
their way, students may be allowed to
take their beers outside their favorite
bars on Massachusetts Street.
City staff members are looking
into revising an ordinance that pro-
hibits downtown drinking establish-
ments from serving alcohol outside
without a sidewalk dining license.
Under an ordinance, which was
enacted in 1993, in order for an estab-
lishment to be eligible for a sidewalk
dining license, it must show that at
least 70 percent of its sales come from
food or non-alcoholic beverages.
Many downtown business own-
ers, including Peach Model, owner
of The Sandbar, said the 70 per-
cent food sales requirement is next
to impossible for most downtown
drinking establishments to meet.
The size of our restaurant makes
it hard to comply with the food
sales requirement, Model said at
last weeks city commission meeting.
We have a really great design in
mind for a front patio, but we cant
meet the require-
ments for it to be
legal.
City staff
members are ana-
lyzing a number
of possibilities,
including lower-
ing the food sales
r e qu i r e me nt ,
exempting exist-
ing businesses
from the require-
ment or simply
eliminating the
requirement.
Most commis-
sioners at last Tuesdays city com-
mission meeting seemed to favor
dropping the food sales requirement
to 55 percent.
A 55 percent food sales require-
ment is already what downtown
businesses need in order to serve
any alcohol, unless the establishment
existed before the ordinance was
passed in 1994.
As city com-
missioner Mike
Amyx said at last
Tuesdays meet-
ing, most drink-
ing establish-
ments were hav-
ing trouble meet-
ing that require-
ment as well.
In other words,
lowering the food
sales requirement
to 55 percent does
little or nothing to
help downtown
bar owners who want outside dining.
In fact, many downtown business
owners such as Brent Piepergerdes,
owner of Henrys on Eighth Street,
said they wanted big revisions to that
ordinance as well.
Requiring a business to make sure
55 percent of its sales come from
food puts an artificial cap on the
amount a business is allowed to col-
lect all together, said Piepergerdes.
We have to cap off the number
of people who come into the bar at a
number much lower than our occu-
pancy or else well risk making too
much money from alcohol, he said.
Someone whos likely to buy two
or three beers upstairs is unlikely
to buy two or three mochas down-
stairs to offset the income from the
beers.
According to city manager David
Corliss, the commission enacted the
ordinance because it was afraid more
bars would open than what was best
for the city.
Piepergerdes said he thought the
best action would be to allow a
one-time exemption of every busi-
ness on Massachusetts street from
the ordinance a strategy that was
used when city commissioners first
enacted the ordinance in 1994.
City planners are reviewing the two
ordinances and looking at any possible
revisionsa process that city commu-
nications manager Lisa Patterson said
could take several weeks.

Marta and Byron Caminero-
Santangelo have lived by a simple
rule during their seven years at the
University of Kansas. Marta, an
associate professor in the English
department, and Byron, the director
of graduate studies in the English
department, have made sure to alter-
nate their class schedules. Somebody
has to be there
if one of their
two children gets
sick.
We almost
never see each
other at work
because we work
on alternate
schedules, Marta
said. Were like
Superman and
Clark Kent.
The Caminero-Santangelos have
worked in the Universitys English
department since 1997, but their
arrangement is hardly unique. Marta
and Byron are joined by five other
husband and wife duos in the English
department.
Vickie Hull, a licensed marriage
and family therapist for Lawrence
Therapy Services, said shes had
experience with married couples
who share the same work environ-
ment, and generally the positives out-
weighed the negatives.
Your spouse understands your
work experiences, Hull said. They
know what youre talking about.
Being able to talk about your work-
day at night is a great way to celebrate
the day.
Marta and Byron, who have been
married since 1991 and have two
children, Nicola and Gabriel, went
to graduate school together at the
University of California-Irvine. Marta
said that years
people spend in
graduate school
could possibly
explain why so
many professors
and academics
end up together.
When youre
in grad school,
its not like youre
meeting a whole
lot of people
other than the people youre in grad
school with, Marta said. And those
people are naturally going to be inter-
esting to you because theyre smart,
intellectual and have some other sim-
ilar interests.
After graduate school, Marta and
Byron moved to DePaul University in
Chicago in 1995. Two years later, the
University of Kansas offered Byron a
job with a potential for tenure. Byron
negotiated for his wife, and Marta
joined him at the University.
We hit the academics jackpot,
Byron said.
Marta said that the University had
been great about accommodating
spousespartly because they have
to be.
Its not like New York, where
theres 5,000 other Universities
around, Marta said. If youre going
to attract part of an academic couple
here, there probably has to be some-
thing for the other side of the aca-
demic couple.
Byron said it sometimes can be
tough for spouses to both find jobs at
the same university.
It worked out well for us, but
obviously the difficulty for some
couples to both find jobs is a major
drawback, Byron said.
But Hull said there were poten-
tial drawbacks to working with your
spouse.
I think the biggest thing is under-
standing what the boundaries are,
Hull said. And role definition, whose
job is it to do what.
Hull said spouses should keep
their co-workers in mind.
You want to make sure youre not
airing dirty laundry at work.
Byron said when you work in
the same department as your wife,
it sometimes can be difficult to get
away from work.
But for Byron, working in the
same department with his spouse has
its rewards.
Just having a sympathetic ear, and
getting helpful feedback, and sharing
ideas about teaching, Byron said.
Marta agreed.
You have stuff to talk about and
you have a common ground level of
similar interests and commitments,
Marta said. We just understand each
other.

ANHATTAN, Kan Students
are still going to fill Budig
Hall for lectures this morning.
Lawrence residents are still going to venture
to Massachusetts Street for dinner tonight.
And the Kansas basketball team, despite an
84-75 defeat to Kansas State, will still be one
of the best in the nation.
If Kansas would have taken down
Kansas State at home for the 25th straight
year, however, Manhattan would have been
as depressing as the ending of La Traviata
today.
In short, the Wildcats victory meant
everything for their program and the
Kansas loss meant next to nothing for its
program. For Kansas State, this was its
national championship. For Kansas, this was
one game of a possible 40-game season.
There was just no way the Wildcats
were letting this one slip away. Sensational
Kansas State freshmen forwards Michael
Beasley and Bill Walker were too focused
to let a long history of futility keep them
down, and they proved it by combining for
47 points.
The Bramlage Coliseum crowd fed the
Wildcats energy like a mother feeds her
baby Gerber. There were more middle fin-
gers, vulgar T-shirts and hateful signs than
a death metal concert. The atmosphere was
absolutely exhausting.
Its one of the loudest places Ive ever
played, senior center Sasha Kaun said. My
ears were ringing.
Kansas coach Bill Self added that he
couldnt even hear the whistle when the ref-
erees blew it. But he should have been able
to tell the calls from the 12,528 fans cloaked
in purple.
When a call went against the Wildcats,
their faithful moaned loud enough
to make it seem like an asteroid was

NORMAN, OKLA. When a team is
in dire need of a Big 12 victory, the Lloyd
Noble Center is just about the last place it
wants to be.
Kansas learned this Wednesday night as a
rowdy crowd and No. 11 Oklahoma played
unkind hosts, out-muscling coach Bonnie
Henricksons team for a 67-51 victory.
The Sooners (14-4, 4-2) turned the
ball over an astounding 25 times, but the
Jayhawks (12-8, 1-6) matched that turnover
for turnover with 25 of their own.
The difference is Oklahoma scored on
our turnovers and we didnt score on theirs,
Henrickson said.
Senior forward Taylor McIntosh said, We
have to be smarter. A lot of it isnt because
of pressure; its just us making a dumb mis-
take.
Were beating ourselves up a lot more
than the other teams are.
Kansas took an early 3-2 lead with a
three-pointer from sophomore guard
Danielle McCray. Then Oklahoma guard
Jenna Plumley answered with another three-
pointer and Kansas would never again own
the lead.
In the beginning we killed ourselves with
turnovers, McCray said. Lately we havent
been giving ourselves chance to stay in the
game.
Freshman center Krysten Boogaard, who
has a habit of getting into early foul trouble,
picked up her first foul just 35 seconds
into the game while guarding Sooner cen-
ter Courtney Paris. However, Boogaard re-
gained her composure and settled into the
flow of the game to the tune of 11 points,
eight rebounds and four blocks.
I thought she played big around the
rim and I liked her confidence to try and
get a piece of the ball, Henrickson said. I
thought coming in that her length might
bother their bigs a little.
Boogaards performance, as great as it
was, wasnt nearly enough to offset the power
from Oklahomas lineup.
Sophomore guard/forward Nyeshia
Stevenson went off for a season high 15
points.
Also, the Sooners three starting post
players, forwards Ashley Paris and Amanda
Thompson and center Courtney Paris, each
finished with 10 points and combined for 24
rebounds.
Thats where the game was given away,
said McIntosh of being out-rebounded 37-28.
Oklahoma cruised through the waning
minutes of the first half and opened the
second half with a 15-5 run. The Sooners
lead blew up to 26 with 9:15 remaining, but
the scrappy Jayhawks refused to take the loss
lying down.
Freshman guard Chakeitha Weldon pro-
vided some fire off the Kansas bench and
energized the offense to a 14-4 run.
She sparked up everyone else and thats
the pace we need to play at consistently, just
get it and go, McCray said.
With 3:07 left Boogaard picked up her
fifth foul to foul out of her first collegiate
game.
Overall though, the team was happy to
take away some positive things after playing
in such a hostile environment.
I thought at times our game plan to dig
and double and crowd the paint was good,
but their shooters stepped up and made
some shots, Henrickson said. Still, it was
good for us to battle for some minutes in the
second half and fight back.
Kansas returns to Allen Fieldhouse on
Saturday for a 7 p.m. tipoff against Iowa St.
McINTOSH STREAK ENDS
Taylor McIntoshs streak of starting 58
games straight came to an end in Lloyd
Noble Center Wednesday evening as the
senior forward watched the opening tip from
the bench.
Including last nights game, McIntosh has
started 106 of the 109 games shes appeared
in.
Henrickson said the change was because
McIntosh was in the dog house a little bit
and her replacement, senior forward Jamie
Boyd, was the only Jayhawk to look good in
practice on Tuesday.
MORRIS cOMES HOME
Wednesday night may have been a road
game, but for sophomore guard Sade Morris
it was also a homecoming.
Morris had 18 game passes for her various
family members to come watch the game
from behind the Kansas bench.
It feels really good to see her back home,
said Victoria Morris, Sades mother. Were a
close family and I know she likes being here.
In 2006 Morris was named Oklahoma
Gatorade Player of the Year, the same year
she graduated from Norman High School.
In her junior season, Morris led the Tigers to
the 6A state championship.

Kansas loses streak,
perfect season
BY MARk DENT

MANHATTAN All the bad feelings
finally returned. The perfect start ended.
Brady Morningstar leaned on a slumped
over Sherron Collins. Chase Buford, dressed
in street clothes, patted Tyrel Reed on his
head. Brandon Rush stared forward, not
looking behind at the court.
None of the Jayhawks wanted to look that
direction. Thats where the party was. Kansas
State won 84-75 on Wednesday night, its first
victory against in its rival in 25 years, and
the celebration was starting. Fans, who had
screamed and booed in a ravenous, vengeful
tone for 40 minutes, lifted Michael Beasley,
their basketball savior, on their shoulders.
Bill Walker, also on top of the crowd, felt
vindicated by the victory.
Who in here actually thought we could
win tonight? he asked.
The players and fans had good reason to
cherish the victory. They deserved it.
K-State was just a better team than we
were tonight, Self said. Offensively and
defensively.
That was a shock. Before the game, the
hype centered around superb freshman
Beasley. Everyone knew he was the best play-
er on the court. Would the No. 2 team or the
No. 1 freshman win? The rest of the K-State
team got lost amid the talk. Wednesday
night, they showed that shouldnt happen
again.
Bill Walker scored 12 points in the first
half to give his team an early lead, and Self
said the Wildcats guards sped up Russell
Robinson, Mario Chalmers and Sherron
Collins, who were supposed be the superior
players.
The way that team started gave them
confidence, Self said, and put us on our
heels.

ASSOciATed PReSS
ST. LOUIS Entering his third
season with the St. Louis Rams, coach
Scott Linehan has given up play-call-
ing duties for the third time.
On Wednesday he handed that
responsibility to Al Saunders, who
got a three-year contract as the
teams new offensive coordinator.
Saunders replaces Greg Olson, who
was impressive in a six-game stint
at the end of 2006 after Linehan
decided to delegate authority in his
first season, helping the Rams fin-
ish 8-8, but then struggled with a
beat-up offense during a three-win
season before Linehan seized back
that responsibility.
Saunders, 60, was offensive coor-
dinator and associate head coach the
last two seasons at Washington before
being fired on Saturday. Linehan
said he jumped at the chance to hire
Saunders, probably the final hire in a
coaching staff overhaul.
I was very, very open to the fact I
needed help, Linehan said in a tele-
conference. We had a tough season
and its what you learn after you
think you know it all that counts. I
learned that the hard way.
Saunders begins his second stint
with the Rams after serving as an
assistant under Dick Vermeil in 1999
and 2000, helping the Rams win
their first Super Bowl after the 99
season. Olson has been hired by the
Bucs as quarterbacks coach.
Linehan said Saunders was on his
fantasy list as a possible replace-
ment for Olson. He said the two
have similar philosophies and that
Saunders would have full authority
of the play-calling.
The Redskins rushing attack was
fifth in the NFC last year and 12th
overall, averaging 116.9 yards per
game with Clinton Portis rushing
for 1,262 yards and 11 touchdowns.
In 2006, Washington was fourth in
the NFL with 138.5 yards per game
and the offensive line allowed only
19 sacks.
The Redskins had only 17 turn-
overs in 2006, second-fewest in the
league.
Ive got to say it re-energized me
just to have an opportunity to do
this, Linehan said. It really sets the
tempo for our season.
Earlier in the month, the Rams
fired offensive line coach Paul
Boudreau, secondary coach Willy
Robinson and running backs coach
Wayne Moses. All served two sea-
sons under Linehan.
Linehan has also hired Art Valero
as assistant head coach and run-
ning backs coach and Steve Loney to
coach the offensive line.
Linehan said none of the changes
was mandated by team president
John Shaw, with whom he met in
Los Angeles a few weeks after the
season. He said he didnt anticipate
any additional changes.
John didnt tell me anything as far
as what I had to do and didnt have
to do, Linehan said. I said Id like to
make some changes and I made a few
changes prior and a few since.
There were never any mandates
of any kind, it was a very open dis-
cussion of the areas where we fell
short, which were many.
Saunders was associate head
coach and wide receivers coach in
his earlier stint with St. Louis, help-
ing the Rams lead the NFL in total
offense and points per game in 1999
and total 540 points in 2000, the
third-highest total in NFL history.
He was known for his high-energy
style in practice, typically sprinting
downfield to offer instant coaching
tips to the wide receivers.
Prior to joining the Redskins,
Saunders was assistant head coach
and offensive coordinator for five
seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.
During those seasons, the Chiefs led
the NFL with 2,157 points.

Q: Where did New York
Giants defensive end Michael
Strahan go to college?
A: Texas Southern. Stra-
han attended the college in
Houston after growing up in
Germany. Strahan was named
Division 1-AA Defensive Player
of the Year during his senior
season.
nfplayers.com
Michael Strahan set the
all-time single-season sack
record with 22.5 in the 2001
season. The sack to break the
record came in the fnal game
of the season against Green Bay
Packers quarterback Brett Favre.
The record, however, is tainted
in the eyes of some because
they accuse Favre of purposely
falling down so Strahan could
touch him and break the record.
Favre and Strahan, who are
friends, deny the conspiracy
theory.

Honolulu wasnt all fun and sun
for the Jayhawk tennis team; they
came to play.
With every member of the lineup
recording a victory in either singles
or doubles, the team was digging on
some good vibrations coming out
of the Hawaii Spring Invitational,
which ran Jan. 16-20.
I was really pleased with the over-
all ability of the girls to step up play-
ing against some strong teams. With
Florida State, Alabama, Sacramento
State and Hawaii, it wasnt an easy
tournament by any means, Coach
Amy Hall-Holt said.
The Jayhawks have no reason not
to be pleased with their impressive
finishes. In singles action, senior
Stephanie Smith and freshman
Magdalena Torarczyk both cruised
unscathed to perfect 3-0 records.
What may be more impressive
about Smith and Torarczyk is the
adversity they overcame to achieve
such success. While Smith was forced
to sit out the fall season with an
ankle injury, Torarczyk, a late recruit
from Poland, joined the team only a
few days before the invitational.
Hall-Holt praised both players for
their performances.
With Stephanie Smith coming
in from ankle surgery and winning
all three of her singles matches, you
know I was impressed with her per-
formance, she said. As well as our
new freshman that just got in four
days prior to us leaving for Hawaii,
and she came in and went unde-
feated in singles and had a good
performance in doubles as well.
Freshman Maria Martinez, who
teamed up with Torarczyk to go 2-
1 in doubles, also had a successful
trip, finishing with a 2-1 record in
singles. Also recording a 2-1 mark in
doubles was the experienced tandem
of junior Edina Horvath and senior
Elizaveta Avdeeva, as well as fresh-
men Kate Goff and Emily Gorham.
Avdeeva, one of three seniors
on the squad, talked about what it
meant to be a role model for the
younger players.
I already went through it so I
know how hard it is at the beginning
when youre a freshman, she said.
So I am just going to try to help the
girls and show them that if you play
hard its going to pay off.
The Jayhawks will have to main-
tain their high level of play this
weekend when they play Arkansas,
as they will take on some stiff com-
petition. The ITF collegiate rankings
have Arkansas ranked 40th heading
into this Saturdays showdown in
Fayetteville, and Tulsa ranked 44th
before this Sundays matchup against
the Jayhawks.
The first match, we are going
to play against Arkansas and they
are really good, so we are just going
to go and play as hard as we can. I
feel like we are really prepared men-
tally and we have nothing to lose,
Avdeeva said.
Its too early in the season to set
any goals or make any predictions,
but Hall-Holt gave reason to be opti-
mistic about this years team. I think
so far the chemistry of the team is
very good and Im very excited about
the group of girls this year and just
the enthusiasm that they are bring-
ing, she said. They see the upswing
for other [KU] sports doing well and
they want to be right there with all
the fame that the other sports are
getting.

The basketball courts that used
to have a few fun pick-up games
last week at
the Student
R e c r e a t i o n
Fitness Center
now have com-
petitive teams
playing on all
four courts. It
might be intra-
mural, but its
definitely not
just a game.
Last nights
game was
no exception for the Brokeback
Mountainers (sic) and Zontallica.
It would have seemed to be a
rivalry between two college or pro-
fessional basketball teams vying for
a national championship, rather
than a friendly intramural game.
Both teams started out hav-
ing fun and making small fouls or
turnovers, such as stepping out of
bounds or traveling, but they soon
realized that in the end there could
only be one winner.
As soon as the game started,
Matthew Mulligan, Overland Park
freshman, made the first two points
for the Brokeback Mountainers.
His team high-fived and cheered
him on, hoping that it wasnt just
beginners luck.
The game quickly turned
into a game of fouls, mostly on
Zontallica. It didnt stop Zontallica
from scoring, though. Still even the
Mountainers had their fair share
of fouls and sent Zontallica to the
free-throw line many times during
the game.
With many turnovers in the first
half, the victory seemed to be up
for grabs for either team. With just
more than 10 minutes on the clock,
it was a close game with Zontallica
leading by only three points.
A high scorer for Zontallica,
Simon Mance, Milwaukee, Wisc.,
senior, worked under the pressure
and made tough shots in the paint.
Ending the first half, Zontallica
took the lead 26-22.
Coming into the second half, the
battle got even more heated.
Frank Lasley, Overland Park
freshman, said the Brokeback
Mountainers had reason to get back
into the game.
We were all motivated to start
playing harder because the other
team were poor sports, Lasley
said.
As the game wound down, a steal
and assist from Andrew Randall,
Stilwell freshman, helped Mason
Haggerty, Overland Park fresh-
man, score two for the Brokeback
Mountainers.
Zontallica responded with
Robert Reynolds, Lees Summit,
Mo., fresh-
man, making
a three-point
shot at the top
of the arc.
With time
ticking down
and only seven
minutes left
in the game,
the Brokeback
Mount ai ners
were in the
lead.
A technical foul was called when
a player on Zontallica kicked the
ball after a foul had already been
called on the team. Randall stepped
to the free-throw line to take the
foul shots.
The fake-outs and tough
defense werent enough to tear the
Brokeback Mountainers down,
which resulted in a final score of
44-41. They celebrated their first
victory and didnt seem the least bit
surprised at the feat.
I expected to win by watching
the other guys warm up, Haggerty
said.

miss. They made 12 of 26 three-
pointers and several of them came
during times when Kansas was start-
ing to come back. They made 18 of
24 free throws. Self and Rush said
most of the loose balls went their
way, too.
It just wasnt our night, Rush
said.
But Kansas States victory wasnt
lucky. Its players came through.
Freshman Jacob Pullen scored 18
points in the second half and didnt
miss a free throw. He, Beasley and
Walker all freshmen combined
to score 67 points. It was the biggest
game of their short careers, and they
stepped up. The same couldnt be
said for the Jayhawks.
Kansas players had been
through NCAA Tournaments, Big
12 Championships and countless
rivalry games. They didnt show it,
though. Collins said the guards often
got into the lane then threw the ball
away. Darrell Arthur played bril-
liantly offensively but hurt himself
by picking up his fourth foul early in
the second half.
The performance was far differ-
ent from those the Jayhawks gave in
other tight games against Arizona,
Southern California, Missouri and
Georgia Tech. In those games the
Jayhawks played with poise, made
big baskets and controlled the ball.
Tonight, we didnt, Arthur said.
We didnt take advantage of our
opportunities.
Because of that, the Jayhawks not
only lost their perfect record but lost
their position atop the conference.
Kansas is now one game behind the
Wildcats, who are still undefeated in
conference play.
Its the first time the Jayhawks
have lost, and Self said the players
can use it for their benefit if they
improve. A big test for Kansas likely
wont come until Feb. 11 at Texas.
The Jayhawks will know how much
theyve improved then. For now,
theyll just have to hurt.
This could be a good thing for
us in the long run, Self said, but
certainly, it stings.
about to collide with Earth. When a
call went their way, it was like Bruce
Willis in Armageddon saving the
world all over again.
Its clich, but Kansas State
simply wanted it more. Tonight,
Beasley wasnt stepping on the court
to prove he was the best player in
college basketball against the No. 2
team in the nation. He was doing
what he was brought to the Little
Apple to do beat Kansas.
He did it all, too. Kansas State
coach Frank Martin may have been
the one in the suit and tie, but it
was clear Beasley was in charge. He
instructed his teammates offensively
and defensively, hit big shots and
even cleaned the floor on three
occasions.
Believe it or not, Beasley and the
Cats may have helped the Jayhawks
in the long run. This way, theres
no talk of an undefeated season to
get distracted by and theres no way
Kansas will be satisfied prematurely.
The Jayhawks will still win the Big
12 and theyll still receive a No. 1
seed come tournament time.
We werent going to run the
table, Self said. I wish we could
but that wasnt going to happen.
So let Kansas State enjoy accom-
plishing its seasons mission. Kansas
list of objectives is still too long to
let this one derail it.

This loss didnt just end a

It ended a great one that
went back to last season.
The Jayhawks had won
28 straight regular season

a 24-game winning streak
versus K-State, too. The
Jayhawks are now 174-89

The crowd was hostile, even

obscenity at him.

He took 12 shots in just 17

MANHATTAN For 11 min-
utes on Wednesday, K-State fresh-
man Michael Beasley had people
wondering.
This was the guy who was sup-
posed to be the best player in the
country?
For nearly 11 minutes, Kansas
held Beasley scoreless. The Kansas
defense swarmed Beasley and
showed that the freshman All-
American and offensive juggernaut
wasnt immortal.
It was tough, they defend as a
team. As soon as I touched the ball,
as soon as I stepped in the paint,
there were three guys around me,
Beasley said.
If only college basketball games
were only 11 minutes long.
Beasley got in the score book
on a fade-away baseline jump shot
with 9:19 to play in the first half and
never looked back.
The 6-foot-10 power forward
finished with 25 points on nine-
of-18 shooting, including a perfect
four-of-four night from three-point
range.
Beasley, who came into
Wednesdays game averaging 25.3
points per game, helped K-State win
a home game against Kansas for the
first time since 1983. Still, Beasley
downplayed his big night.
It was just another game to me,
he said.
Beasley sure didnt play like it.
After scoring eight points in the
first half, Beasley showcased his full
offensive repertoire in the second.
First Beasley drove to the lane and
hit a leaning left-handed shot on
Sasha Kaun. A possession later he
barreled into lane and finished off
the glass. Whenever K-State needed
a big shot, Beasley hit one.
Its a hard match-up for any-
body, Kansas coach Bill Self said.
You put a big guy on him and he
goes four-of-four from three.
Self said Beasley earned his 25
points.
He scored pro points tonight,
Self said.
Beasleys biggest shot came with
four minutes left. His three-pointer
from the wing with 4:15 left game
the Wildcats at 67-57 lead.
Hes just a great player that made
some tough shots, Kansas senior
forward Sasha Kaun said.
Beasley, who finished with only
six rebounds, made sure to let every-
one know he wasnt alone.
I had a lot of help from
my teammates, he said.
Fellow Freshmen Bill Walker and
Jacob Pullen had 22 and 20 points,
respectively.
The three freshmenalong with
senior Clent Stewartsat together
after the game and reflected on the
historic victory.
I knew my team was capable of
beating anybody. We showed them
tonight, Beasley said, while rib-
bing Pullen for his surprising stat
line. We just knocked a Final Four-
caliber team.
Then one question came, and
for the first time all night, Beasley
deferred. The young freshman who
had an answer for Kansas all night
was stumped.
Did this victory mean something
more for K-State?
Bill Walker jumped in.
People act like theres one team
in Kansas, Walker said. We got a
chance to show them there isnt.

Walker is often the forgotten man.
But Walker was as big a reason for
the Wildcats victory as Beasley. He

18:55- Nothing but air. Michael

lets the Kansas players know
that Michael Beasley is at least
mortal. He wont score in the
frst nine minutes of the game.
16:02- Beasley says he and

see why here. Walker threw it
down, energizing the crowd
and giving the Wildcats an 11-5
lead.

possession, but the Wildcats
never trail again.

gives KSU a 57-45 lead, and
the crowd gets louder than its

down as one of the best crowds
in Big 12 history.

NORMAN, OKLA. Courtney
Paris is as imposing a post player
as the college game has ever seen.
Consider this; the 6-foot-4 junior
center hasnt fallen short of a double-
double since her freshman year, a
streak that stretched an astounding
78 games coming into Wednesday
nights game with Kansas.
After 35 minutes the Jayhawks had
almost accomplished the unthink-
able. Though she had ripped down 13
rebounds, Paris was two points short
of extending the streak. Those inevita-
ble points would come after freshman
center Krysten Boogaard was called
for a blocking foul, but coach Bonnie
Henrickson said she was encouraged
by the talented freshmans efforts on
the defensive end.
Boogaard finished with 11 points
and eight rebounds to go along with
four blocks. Henrickson said she
thought Boogaards size bothered the
Sooners post players although the 6-
foot-5 freshman has to get stronger
to compete with the elite post players
in the Big 12.
She is getting better about when
she should try and get a piece of
shots, Henrickson said. Most of the
catches and pivotsshe was there.
Senior forward Taylor McIntosh
knows how hard it is to slow Paris
down. Last year in Allen Fieldhouse,
Paris dropped 32 points and grabbed 13
rebounds against the Jayhawks. McIntosh
said that to hold her to only 10 points and
nearly break her streak in the process was
the result of a solid game plan and the
defensive play of Boogaard.
Our plan was to double inside and
we did that so it was hard for her to
score, and when she did get the ball
down low and try to score, Krysten was
there to block it, McIntosh said. I think
Krysten did a really good time tonight
on her and had her frustrated at times.
Boogaard said she knew coming
in that the matchup would be tough
because Paris had a key advantage, size.
In order to combat the All-Americans
power and strength, Boogaard said
Henrickson encouraged her to use her
quickness to even the playing field.
I was trying to just be faster than
her, make my moves quicker than
her and just be smart with the moves
I was making so that I wouldnt get
blocked by her, Boogaard said.
But the night wasnt all good for the
native of Regina, Saskatchewan. After
picking up her first personal foul within
the first minute of the game, Boogaard
was able to stay out of foul trouble until
late in the second half. For the first in her
Kansas career, she was sent to the bench
after fouling out with 3:07 left to play.
It was very disappointing. I wish
I hadnt got that fifth foul but it hap-
pened, Boogaard said.
Despite the late disappointment,
Boogaard seems to have gained the
confidence and, more importantly, the
trust of the coaching staff and her
teammates. The Jayhawks may be 1-6
in Big 12 play but the freshmans prog-
ress is a sign of better things to come.

Giants player predicts victory
By BARRy WILNER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX Tom Brady scoffed.
Plaxico Burress wondered what all
the attention was about.
Brady was puzzled by Burress
prediction that the New York Giants
would beat the New England Patriots
23-17 in Sundays Super Bowl. The
fact Burress picked the Giants hard-
ly surprised the leagues MVP. The
score certainly did.
Were only going to score
17 points? Brady said Wednesday
morning before chuckling. OK. Is
Plax playing defense? I wish he had
said 45-42 and gave us a little credit
for more points.
Considering the Patriots set an
NFL record by scoring 589 points,
Bradys 50 touchdown passes were
the most ever for one season, and
Randy Moss broke Jerry Rices mark
with 23 TD catches, Burress might
have been a bit chintzy.
I know they have confidence.
They should have confidence, Brady
said. They are the NFC champions.
I learned a lesson early in my career:
No matter what you say during the
week and God knows we say a
lot this week were going to be
focused on going out and winning
this game. Were confident, but I
dont think we share our thoughts
with everybody.
Burress did. And when he
showed up 33 minutes late for the
Giants media session Wednesday
morning, there was speculation the
wide receiver was trying to avoid the
spotlight.
Turns out Burress was spend-
ing time with his 1-year-old son and
family at breakfast, claiming he was
unaware so many people wanted to
interrogate him about his predic-
tion.
Nor was he aware, he said, that
a hefty fine comes with missing a
Super Bowl week media session.
I dont understand what
the fuss is about, Burress said, sur-
rounded by at least as many TV
cameras, microphones and note-
pads as Brady was two hours earlier.
Nobody wants to lose. All this is
entertainment. Its sports, and sports
are entertainment. So 23-17 is the
prediction I made, but the game still
has to be played.
Told about Bradys reaction
to that score, Burress said he wasnt
dissing anyone.
Im not taking anything away
from what those guys accomplished,
he said. They set all the records you
could possibly imagine. They have
a great quarterback, the MVP, who
threw for a record (50) touchdowns.
Randy set a TD record for catches.
They had two receivers with over
100 catches. The numbers dont lie
about what they have done.
Nor do the numbers 23-17 lie
about what Burress thinks.
Hey, look how much fun
everybody is having with it, he said.
It makes national, international
headlines. But the game still has to
be played.

Beijing brings
Olympics, kosher
Food

ASSocIATED PRESS
BEIJING Beijing and the
Olympics are going kosher.
The capitals only kosher res-
taurant opened 10 months ago,
drawing the small Jewish expatri-
ate community, tourists, curious
Chinese and even a few Muslims.
Business has been so good at Dinis
Kosher Restaurant, that part-owner
Lewis Sperber is talking about set-
ting up a second branch closer to
the Olympic venues in northern
Beijing.
Like many restaurateurs and
bar owners, Sperber is hoping to
benefit with as many as 550,000
foreigners expected to descend on
Beijing for the Aug. 8-24 Games.
What weve thought about is
preparing sandwiches and other
items at a venue closer than we
are now to the Olympic sites,
Sperber said. If people leave
the Olympics and want a kosher
meal, we could have a place for
them.
Eating kosher food that meets
Jewish dietary laws is hardly a
raging fad. However, there is a real
boom because of the number of
Chinese factories being certified
to export kosher products. This
is driven partially by recent food
safety scares in China involving
contaminated seafood, pet food
and toothpaste.
Kosher certifications in China
conducted by the Orthodox
Union the best-known certi-
fication body have doubled to
307 in the last two years. The total
number of kosher certifications is
about 2,000, exporters working to
reach the world kosher market.
I think business will be
very overwhelming during the
Olympics, said Minette Ramia,
who manages Dinis, a modern,
pastel-colored eatery located on
Super Bar Street, an aptly named
alleyway lined with restaurants and
bars just down the street from the
Israeli embassy.
From the hygiene side, wheth-
er someone is kosher or not, Jewish
or not, people will want food from
here because it is considered clean-
er and more hygienic being that
were in China, Ramia said. A
Muslim woman came in recently
because she cant eat meat any-
where else.
The staff and cooks at Dinis are
nearly all Chinese. Waiters bring
new Chinese customers a hand-
out to explain kosher, which is
called Jie Shi in Chinese clean
food.
When Chinese come, I dont
think they know what to order,
said Zhao Haixia, the assistant
manager. Normally they just
rely on us to tell them whats
good.
The menu features both north-
ern European (Ashkenazi) and
Mediterranean (Sephardic) food
traditions. Mainstays like matzo
ball soup, chopped liver and Gefilte
fish are seldom chosen by Chinese,
who more often go for kosher beef
dumplings (Jiaozi) or sizzling beef
kosher style.
Gefilte fish is a hard sell.
In China eating cold fish
doesnt sound so good, Zhao said.
Like Beijings noxious air,
Chinas food safety is one the most
sensitive issues surrounding the
Olympics, carrying the potential
to ruin Chinas $40 billion prepara-
tions to use the Games to show off
a modern nation removed from its
agrarian roots.
One food poisoning case, like
one positive doping test particu-
larly by a Chinese athlete could
grab headlines for weeks and ruin
the public relations effort by the
communist government.
Superbowl
Sunny Phoenix is the place to be for sports
By ANDREW BAGNATo
ASSocIATED PRESS
PHOENIX What was once the
sleepy home of the NBAs Phoenix
Suns, the Fiesta Bowl and baseballs
spring training has blossomed into a
national sports capital.
This years Super Bowl between
the New England Patriots and New
York Giants is the latest in a grow-
ing list of national sports events
that have landed in the desert. And
more are on the way as Phoenix con-
tends with Los Angeles to become
the Wests top destination for major
events.
I think Phoenix is just grow-
ing into itself, said Jerry Colangelo,
the former Phoenix Suns owner and
Arizona Diamondbacks chairman.
On balance I think we have done
an incredible job of coming from
a small Western town into a major
league market with an incredible
array of events.
This represents a dramatic change
from the last time Phoenix hosted
the Super Bowl, at Tempes Sun Devil
Stadium in January 1996. Back then,
some people wondered whether it
was big enough to accommodate
the event.
In 1996, our question was, can
we handle it? said Mike Kennedy,
a local lawyer and chairman of the
Arizonas host committee. Back
then, we were selling one product
the warmth.
They made the sale, and then
some.
Since that time, the Phoenix areas
population has exploded to 3.8 mil-
lion, and Phoenix has become the
nations fifth-largest city, with 1.5
million residents. The growth has
attracted an events boom as promot-
ers cash in on Phoenixs mild winter
weather, resorts and golf courses.
When it comes to sports, Phoenix
is not just another pretty place.
This is the destination,
Diamondbacks President Derrick
Hall said. This is the place to be.
The Phoenix area now has four
major professional sports fran-
chises, two PGA Tour events, two
NASCAR races, two major-college
bowl games, an LPGA tour event
and a marathon.

Big-screen TV?
Check. Friends?
Check. Seats? Check.
Food and drink? That
may be a problem.
Buying refreshments
for a Super Bowl XLII
party may be a strug-
gle for University stu-
dents. After buying
books for class and
paying rent for an
apartment, food for
15 friends will likely
involve budgeting.
Fortunately, Super
Bowl munchies can
cost less than $25
with some smart
shopping.
THE BARE ESSENTIALS
John Stockemer, Wichita
senior, said that the necessities
of any Super Bowl watch party
were torti l l a
chips, sal sa,
pret zel s or
Chex mix and
beverages.
You al so
need a half-
t i me food,
Stockemer said.
Pizzas, wings,
or little smokies
work best.
C h e c k e r s ,
2300 Louisiana
St., sells bags of off-brand tor-
tilla chips for 99 cents. HyVee,
3504 Clinton Parkway, has a bet-
ter deal on jars of salsa and
queso, which cost $2.50 each.
Stockemer said three jars would
suffice for 15 people. HyVee also
has the better price on Chex mix,
three bags for $4, and frozen
pizzas, five for $5.55. Other than
water, the cheapest drink is Kool-
aid. Both stores sell four packets
of Kool-aid for
$1. Altogether,
the ref resh-
ment s cost
$23. 05, and
after taxes the
price is still
less than $25.
FOR LESS
THAN $45
Those who
have a little bit
more cash to spend on refresh-
ments have more options. Many
would opt to upgrade the bev-
erage choice. Checkers offers
lower prices on soda and beer.
Twelve-packs of soda cost $2.49
each. Two would suffice. Or, if
guests dont mind Shasta brand
soda, Checkers offers 24 cans
for $4.28. Prices on 30-can packs
of beer range from $11.80 to
$16.30, depending on preference.
And if consum-
ers make the
switch to beer,
S t o c k e m e r
r e c o mme n d s
switching the
Chex mix with
pret zel s. At
Checkers, a
one-pound bag
of pretzels costs
$2.24.
P r e t z e l s
seem to go bet-
ter with beer than chips or pop-
corn, Stockemer said.
WHERES THE BEEF?
Some would have problems
with the absence of meat.
You have to have meat at the
Super Bowl. Its a requirement,
said Dan Hoyt, Kansas alumnus.
Meat goes along with the Super
Bowl beer and truck commer-
cials.
Hoyt suggests frying some
hamburgers or bratwursts.
Checkers sells ground beef as
low as $1.68 per pound. HyVee
sel l s pack-
ages of five
bratwursts for
$3. 69. Hoyt
al so recom-
mended add-
i ng s ome
ground beef to
the queso dip.
H o y t s
r e qui r ement s
apparently dont
match that of
many revelers.
Marcie McCauslin, manager of per-
ishables at HyVee, said customers
opted for other foods.
Meat usually isnt as popular
as appetizers or finger foods for
Super Bowl parties, McCauslin
said.
A TEAM EFFORT
Asking guests to help buy
refreshments can take much of the
burden off the host and allow for a
bigger variety of snacks and bever-
ages.
You can get people to chip in if
needed. Even make it B.Y.O.B if you
need, Stockemer said.
Another solution would be to
ask each guest to bring a snack
that he or she could share with
everyone.
NO RUSH
Stores will have plenty of snack
supplies for even the last-minute
buyers. McCauslin said that her
store would be ready for the pro-
crastinators.
We kind of plan in advance,
McCauslin said. Friday, Saturday
and Sunday are our busiest days
before the Super Bowl.
