Ryan King entered the auditorium to do the
lighting and sound check while the other members
of Genuine Imitation warmed up next door. Unsure
about the right switch, King randomly went for one
and succeeded in illuminating the stage.
Dressed in all black and standing at the microphone
under the now bright lights, King smiled from
behind his black-framed glasses and looked out to
the growing audience in Woodruff Auditorium.
Testing, testing, King said.
He repeated those words twice more at the other
microphones.
King, a senior from Lawrence, is the business
manager and co-director of the University of Kansas
contemporary a cappella group, Genuine Imitation.
Students formed the group in 2003 and they perform
songs by artists such as 311, Ke$ha and Weezer.
A bass singer and vocal performance major, King
was making his third appearance of the day at last
Wednesdays winter concert.
Earlier in the day, King performed the National
Anthem at the womens basketball game and a song
with his fiance, Laura Gibson, at the students
Composers Guild.
The Composers Guild allows composition
music students to premier some of their works
during the recital and a mutual friend wrote
a song cycle for King and Gibson, a senior
from Talmage and pianist.
Looking back on the busy day Saturday
afternoon, King said Wednesday was
crazy. But taking on too much in the
name of music is not uncommon,
he acknowledged.
From a very young age, King
participated in anything and
everything music related, and
its no surprise once you learn
that his father was a music
teacher.
I was so exposed to it at
such a young age that I always
just loved music, King said.

McCollum Hall will once again
be the only residence hall open
during winter break, according
to Diana Robertson, director of
student housing.
A new policy required that a
minimum of 15 residents register
for any of the four smaller halls
on Daisy Hill to remain open. In
previous semesters, student hous-
ings policy was that all schol-
arship halls and residence halls
except McCollum were to remain
closed during Thanksgiving, win-
ter and spring breaks.
GSP, Corbin and Oliver halls
and all scholarships halls will
close as scheduled.
Student Housing attempted
the new policy to provide better
services to residents who choose
to stay put during breaks.
Our numbers at break peri-
ods are not high, Robertson
said. But maybe thats because
students dont want the incon-
venience of moving down to
McCollum if theyre living in
another hall.
The new policy was first
attempted during Thanksgiving
break, but none of the four eligi-
ble residence halls met the 15-res-
ident minimum. Eighty-nine
residents stayed in McCollum,
22 of whom were from other
buildings.
The Studio, a food court in
Hashinger Hall, and Mrs. Es, the
main dining hall, will remain
open on Daisy Hill during winter
break. Though Mrs. Es regularly
stays open, this is the first semes-
ter that KU Dining will keep The
Studio in operation.
Yan Huo, a freshman from
Luoyang, China, lives in GSP
Hall. With no options other
than moving into McCollum for
Thanksgiving break, Huo decid-
ed to take a road trip to Chicago
with her friends. She had regis-
tered for break housing but said
she changed her mind the day
before break.
I dont think McCollum is
worth $80 to stay there, she said.
I think its better to go on a trip
than stay in McCollum.
Huo said she was flying to
Virginia during winter break to
stay with one of her mothers
friends.
The new policy requires stu-
dents already living in McCollum
to pay for break housing for the
first time. Winter break housing
costs $512.
Robertson said the decision to
charge students in McCollum was
made while looking into leaving
other residence halls open.
It became apparent that the
break housing service has real
costs associated with it and that
all students who stay over break
periods should be assessed for
this service, she said in an e-mail.
Those costs include staffing, cus-
todial services and utilities.
Some international students
said they disagreed with the new
fee. Takuya Kikuchi, a junior
from Yokohama, Japan, lives in
McCollum. He plans to visit his
host family in California dur-
ing the break, though he consid-
ers himself lucky to have that
option.
International students dont
have a home here in the States,
Kikuchi said. He said he thought
it wasnt fair to charge them to
stay in McCollum during breaks.

Four of five former Kansas Athletics
officials indicted last month entered
not guilty pleas Wednesday in U.S.
District Court in Wichita.
The fifth official, Kassie Liebsch,
did not appear. Liebsch was granted
a change of plea hearing by U.S.
District Court Judge Wesley Brown
for Jan. 21 at 10:30 a.m., a spokes-
man said.
Jim Cross, a spokesman for Kansas
U.S. Attorneys office, said a change of
plea hearing is scheduled by the judge
for the purpose of pleading guilty.
The other four Tom and
Charlette Blubaugh, Rodney Jones
and Ben Kirtland were released
pending trial. Cross said they cannot
leave the state without first informing
the court. He said they also surren-
dered their passports.
The five former officials were
charged Nov. 18 with the misap-
propriation of tickets valued from
$3 million to $5 million. Liebsch
actually remained with Athletics as
director of ticket operations until the
indictment. The other four had been
named in the ticket scandal unveiled
last spring.
Each defendant faces a maximum
of 30 years in federal prison and a
fine up to $1 million.
The Nov. 18 indictment charges
Charlette Blubaugh with stealing,
converting and taking by fraud,
individual and season tickets for
Athletics events and providing them
to Simmons, Jeffries, Kirtland, Jones
and Liebsch to sell to third parties in
violation of University policies.
The result was illegal proceeds
of more than $3 million at the
Universitys expense. The defendants
are also charged with paying kick-
backs to third parties and entering
false information in a computer sys-
tem devised to detect theft.

The Campus Safety Advisory
Board (CSAB) approved $100,000
for the Oread Neighborhood
lighted pathway on Wednesday
night.
The $531,000 project has faced
severe funding shortfalls since it
was started last fall. It was delayed
when the Kansas Department
of Transportation turned down
a $174,345 grant the City of
Lawrence had applied for to help
fund the project.
Weve proven our support
for this project and said, This is
really something students want,
said Libby Johnson, chairwoman
of CSAB.
Construction on the path-
ways primary route started after
Thanksgiving. The primary route
costs $263,380 and will run down
the sidewalks on the north side
of 12th Street between Vermont
Street and Jayhawk Boulevard and
across South Park to its northeast
corner.
The additional funding from
CSAB was originally allocated
for lighting and other on-campus
projects that were never started
or received funding from outside
sources.
CSAB has more than $230,000
in unallocated funds.
The funding for the lighted
pathway is contingent on the com-
mitment of the City of Lawrence,
Johnson said. So far the city has
contributed $50,000. Student
Senate contributed an additional
$20,000 to the project last year.
The city reapplied for a com-
munity development block grant
earlier this month. Last year it was
awarded a $60,000 grant for the
project. The grant was restricted
to funding the pathway through
South Park, which costs $30,000.
Johnson said the city reap-
plied for the grant with the hope
of freeing the rest of the money
and receiving additional funding.
Grants are in the spring. Johnson
sounded confident that the citys
application would be approved.
Because of our commitment
theres a lot higher likelihood that
the development grant will go
through, Johnson said.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / ThurSdAy, dECEMBEr 9, 2010 / NEWS / 3A
BY STEPHEN GRAY
sgray@kansan.com
Some may think that diversity
is simply a human resources issue
or that its a word that designates
specific measures and quotas
throughout society. In a way thats
true. More than anything, though,
its a state of mind.
In order to maintain its com-
mitment to this mentality on
campus, the University of Kansas
has implemented a new statement
on diversity and inclusion for the
community to follow.
Fred Rodriguez, interim asso-
ciate vice provost for diversity
and equity, said that he decided
to push for an official statement
when he realized that a guideline
like this was something that the
University could use.
The statement represents the
value and the importance of a
diverse and inclusive campus
community, Rodriguez said. Too
often we assume this is just under-
stood but with a formal statement
this reflects and states unequiv-
ocally our commitment.
The statements formation
began early last summer when
Rodriguez formed a small group
of faculty, staff and administration
members to discuss ideas. Using
similar statements from other
universities as models, the group
then formulated a draft to send to
administrators. After some minor
changes in wording, the statement
was approved earlier this semester
by faculty and student governance
organizations.
Michael Wade Smith, student
body president, said although its
not directly attached to measures
of diversity and inclusion, the
statement is important because it
serves as a basis of commitment to
those principles.
When programs and depart-
ments throughout the University
are setting goals for their own
organizations, theyll know diver-
sity and inclusion should be a part
of their work, Smith said. That
l anguage
becomes a
part of our
u n i v e r -
sity.
To build
on the
new state-
ment, the
Office of
Di versi t y
and Equity has established a work
group to assess the current diversi-
ty policies at the University and to
identify areas for either enhance-
ment or initiation. From this
framework, a Diversity Advisory
Council will then be established
over the next two years.
Karen Hester, director of diver-
sity and inclusion for the School
of Law and a member of the work
group, said the statement sends a
clear message that diversity and
inclusion are priorities at the
University. She also stressed diver-
sitys importance to achieving a
thriving and engaging learning
community at the university.
The opportunity to discuss
ideas, perspectives and experi-
ences different from ones own
challenges that individual and
promotes their growth and knowl-
edge, she said.
In addition to the completion
of the new statement on diver-
sity and inclusion, the office also
announced last month that a Spring
Symposium on the Scholarship of
Diversity has been set for March
14 to 15, 2011, on the Lawrence
campus. Details havent been fully
determined yet,
but the office
plans to host
two prominent
national leaders
who will present
lectures.
Mary Ellen
Kondrat, dean
of the School of
Social Welfare
and a member of the planning
committee for the event, said the
Symposium will exemplify the
aim of the statement and promote
diversitys role in the university
community. For her, its essential
to encourage various perspec-
tives and a diversity of thought
on campus.
People who think alike make
the same mistakes, Kondrat said.
We need the best minds from the
most diverse perspectives if were
going to solve some of the com-
plex problems of society.

KU STATEmENT oN DIVERSITY AND INcLUSIoN
As a premier international research university, the university of Kansas is committed to an open, di-
verse and inclusive learning and working environment that nurtures the growth and development of
all. Ku holds steadfast in the belief that an array of values, interests, experiences, and intellectual and
cultural viewpoints enrich learning and our workplace. The promotion of and support for a diverse
and inclusive community of mutual respect require the engagement of the entire university.
Lisa King, Ryans mother, said
music was always playing in the
house, whether on a radio or CD
player.
As a toddler, Lisa said her son
would sing along with the radio in
his car seat while she was driving.
One time in particular, she had
to change the station when he
started to belt out Highway to
Hell.
Even with his love of music,
King held on to the desire to be
an astronaut until high school
when his bad eyesight and lack of
intelligence, as he put it, steered
him toward a career in music.
In high school, King stretched
himself thin and even won an
award for it. He received and
inspired the Renaissance Man
senior award for his participation
in every Lawrence High musical
performance and ensemble. King
said his younger brother is working
toward becoming the second King,
and only other person, to win the
award this year.
The constant singing and
exposure to music in the King
household may account for two
children with music degrees and
one with a music minor.
King entered the University with
a desire to enter music education,
but after taking voice lessons
and at the recommendation of
his instructor, King auditioned
for the voice performance degree.
Following Kings audition, he
received a scholarship, and after
falling in love with performance,
King dropped music education.
The adrenaline and nerves that
come with live performances help
King maintain his passion.
Thats part of the fun, being a
little bit freaked out the first time
you go on, and I hope that I never
get over that, King said. If I get
over that, I think its probably time
to stop, because why are you doing
it at that point?
For a couple
of years, King
was really
g u n g - h o
about going
and moving
to New York,
a u d i t i oni ng
every where
and really
making it big.
But then
L a u r a
happened. King and Laura Gibson
began dating in high school, but
after becoming engaged over the
summer, King said he had an
internal struggle with the decision
to marry or pursue his dream of
being a performer.
Not that I didnt want to get
married, but if you get married it
makes it almost next to impossible
to lead a career in performance
because its kind of a rough lifestyle
and it came down to do I want to
be a performer or do I want to
get married? King said. And she
won.
Now King doesnt allow the two
loves of his life to compete.
Gibson is a piano major and
King said music is just one more
thing the pair have in common.
The two perform together from
time to time, like at the Composers
Guild, and King said a musician
rel at i onshi p
w o r k s ,
referring to
advice from a
friend of Kings
who told him
it benefits to
date a fellow
musician.
They will
be your biggest
fan and your
best critic,
King said.
King is his own worst critic,
but Gibson is the most accurate.
She is not afraid to be honest
with him, she knows what she is
talking about and she is Kings
biggest fan.
Aside from a July 31, 2011
wedding, the future remains
unknown for the couple.
In Kings ideal world, he is a
Grammy award winning opera
singer with a huge house, a wife
and one-and-a-half kids with not
a care in the world.
That would be cool, but
realistically I dont know, King
said.
Gibsons ideal world doesnt
differ greatly from Kings. She sees
the pair living in California and
while King basks in his fame, she
charges $100 and hour for piano
lessons with their border collie at
her feet.
But regardless of what reality
will entail, it will most likely
involve music.
Kings mom said she is
positive he will always have some
connection with music.
I would be miserable if I didnt
have music in my life, King said.
So I refuse to give up on that.
After teaching music and with
the onset of a family, Kings father
retired from music education for
more stability and pay. While the
decision was the right one, he
still sings all the time and King
doesnt want to have to make that
sacrifice.
I hope that doesnt happen
with me because I think thats
one too many compromises, King
said. Ive already started making
compromises because Im not
going to go into voice performance
to get married.
King corrected himself and
said it wasnt a compromise to get
married just a different path.
Gibson said she was selfishly
happy with his decision but doesnt
want him to give up on music.
Music is very personal,
especially for him, Gibson said.
For King, a day without music
is not a good day. He knows there
are a lot of people who arent
fortunate to do what they love and
King strives to avoid becoming
that kind of person.
But who knows? The way he
feels changes every week, he said.
I hope Im not put in a position
to have to abandon music because
then what have I been doing for
the past four years? King said. I
would be really disappointed in
myself if I gave up on and I cant
imagine a scenario in which I
would decide that I dont want to
do it anymore because it is more
important to me than that.
While the future lurks around
every corner, Kings opted to just
keep singing until they are forced
to run into one another.

Lawrence men don
heels for a charity
Next semester, men from
around Lawrence will kick of
their loafers and trade them in
for a pair of shiny red high heels
for the Walk A Mile in her Shoes
event on May 6. Some university
men are getting a head start.
The Willow domestic Violence
Center is selling calendars with
photos of prominent Lawrence
men wearing red high heels to
promote the national event. The
calendars cost $20, with all pro-
ceeds going to The Willow. Audra
Fullerton, director of community
engagement at The Willow, said
the calendar provided an easy
way for men in the community to
get involved with the event and
issue.
This is a fun, goofy way to get
their voices out, she said. Now
men can stand up and say, you
know what, this isnt OK.
Kansas coach Bill Self, danny
Anderson, dean of the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences,
Shade Little, Chancellor Berna-
dette Gray-Littles husband, rick
Ginsberg, dean of the school of
education, and John Nalbandian,
professor of public administra-
tion, were among the university
men involved with the calendar.
Sally hare-Schriner, a member
of The Willows board, said The
Willow was targeting students
to participate in the Walk A Mile
in her Shoes event to further
promote awareness of the issue.
you have to wear someone
elses shoes to understand the
issue, she said.
Fullerton said students should
become involved in the event
because they were members of
the community and many stu-
dents have dealt with domestic
violence.
The world doesnt stop at the
end of campus, she said.
Students can purchase a
calendar at the Kansas union
Bookstore. Students can also sign
up in March for the event.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
KANSAS CITY, Mo. He has
recorded dozens of songs writ-
ten by other people, but none has
touched Kenny Chesney like The
Boys of Fall, his most recent No.
1 single.
The song, co-written by Casey
Beathard and Dave Turnbull, is
an ode to football, especially high
school football teams, the men
who coach them and the small
towns that embrace them.
It has been one of the best
journeys of my life, Chesney said
during a telephone interview last
week, to be able to spend a major
part of the last year interview-
ing all kinds of people who have
touched a lot of lives on and off
the field.
That journey was the making
of the documentary The Boys of
Fall, inspired by the video to the
song. The documentary first aired
on ESPN in August. Since mid-
November, it has been available on
DVD at Walmart.
Chesney spent much of his year
away from touring, working on the
documentary. He will return to the
concert circuit next year with the
Zac Brown Band and others.
But for now, hes talking about
the video, which has nearly 4.5 mil-
lion YouTube views. It opens with
New Orleans Saints coach Sean
Payton addressing the football
team at Naperville (Ill.) Central
High School, his alma mater. His
sermon is about relishing the pres-
ent and appreciating the blessings
and rituals that will soon be gone,
specifically the thrill of Friday
night football games.
That feeling goes away and it
doesnt come every Friday, he tells
the team. It comes when you get
married. It comes when your child
is born. So you get it, but you just
dont get it every Friday night.
Chesney interviewed players
and coaches like Peyton Manning,
Brett Favre, Joe Namath, Bill
Parcells, University of Texas coach
Mack Brown and Ohio State coach
Jim Tressel, all of whom discuss
the game and what it has meant
to them
For Chesney, football was a life-
style, almost a religion, as it is in so
many small towns. A lyric from the
song goes: In little towns like mine,
thats all they got / Newspaper clip-
pings fill the coffee shops.
I grew up in an area where the
town leans on the football team,
said Chesney, who was raised in
Luttrell, Tenn., and played football
at Gibbs High School. Thats how
it was in east Tennessee. Football
was all we had.

Nothing holds
meaning for Janet
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES Janet
Jacksons hit single Nothing
the theme song from Tyler
Perrys Why Did I Get Married
Too? is generating almost
as much Oscar buzz as it feels
riddled with grief. Jackson
learned of her brother Michaels
death while filming the movie in
Atlanta, before she had recorded
the song.
Even though Jackson says
Nothing is not about her broth-
er, whom she wont talk about
much these days, the songs mel-
ancholy and emotional grit leads
one to wonder. Its no stretch to
think that Jackson, whos known
for having a particularly strong
work ethic and occasionally los-
ing herself in creative projects
during turbulent times, was
channeling the fallout of her per-
sonal tragedy into her music.
Which may be why Nothing,
her third film song to date, is
resonating so deeply with fans.
The song went straight to No. 4
on iTunes when it was released
in March. After her appearance
on the finale of American Idol,
where she performed a med-
ley that included Nothing, the
single shot to No. 1. The song is
now featured on Jacksons album
Icons, which showcases 11 of
her 35 hit singles. Its a touching,
melodic ballad about truth, trust
and relationships.
Even though it sounds like
a sad song, its hopeful, says
Jackson, When you really listen
to it, its really hopeful. I didnt
know if I wanted to call the song
Trust in Me or Nothing. Its
really about the characters (in
the movie) and pulling as much
as I could from each relation-
ship.

Letter tO tHe editOr
In response to Seth Robinsons
article on tenure:
Your concern is valid;
incompetent teachers regularly fail
students and the nation, but your
criticism is focused on the wrong
target. What you are describing
is more accurately attributed to
overactive teachers unions, not
tenure as a whole. Poor unions,
who act to protect teachers without
regard for education, make for
tragic situations like the ones we
see in Philadelphia, New York and
several other major U.S. cities.
Modern tenure is not invincible
such as you portray; poor teachers
can still be fred, it is simply more
difcult. What tenure does do is
protect the freedom of teachers to
do their jobs without government
censure, as was common in history
and is present around the world
today. Without tenure, teachers
would be completely at the mercy
of administrators and government
legislators, forcing educators to
simply deliver canned speeches
without the freedom to teach what
they believe to be truth is a grim
fgure lurking in the future of this
country as much as this specter
of educational incompetency. I
fnd it astounding and frightening
that we are so enthusiastic about
casting aside everyone who doesnt
quite match up to embryonic
standards without thinking about
the enormous loss that we would
incur if educators could not teach
or research freely and overcome
the ignorance that is all to common
even to this day. If nothing else,
if tenure dies in public schools, it
is likely that it will also perish in
the university system, endangering
the freedom of thought which is
essential.
Increasing efort toward
evaluation, vetting before granting
tenure and public awareness has
already done much to open this
system, but regulating what already
exists is the key, not elimination.

year Sociology Masters Student
from Indiana, Penn.
Regulation of
tenure key to

W
ere fnally here. Te
last day of classes has
come; the end of the
semester is at hand.
Its been a long semester at the
University. Much has happened.
Some of it positive, some of it
negative.
Te football team, under Turner
Gills coaching, had a disastrous
season, winning few games. Te
weekly pounding became tiring
and was capped in a fnal defeat
by Missouri during Tanksgiving
break.
But there were some bright
spots. KUs victory against Georgia
Tech gave hope early in the season
and the incredible come-from-
behind victory against Colorado
was spectacular to watch. I hope
the kind of play we saw during
these games can become the norm
next season.
In September, Lew Perkins
announced his sudden retirement.
Perkins had
previously
announced his
plans to leave in
June 2011 and the
sudden departure
caught us of-
guard.
Later in the
semester, fve former and current
Kansas Athletics employees were
charged with federal crimes related
to the ticket scandal that resulted
in the diversion of thousands of
tickets and the loss of million
of dollars. While these charges
have yet to play out in court, it is
disturbing that even during the
height of the Jayhawks athletic
successes, corruption may have
been present in the athletics
system.
Tere have
been positive
developments at
the University,
however.
It may be little
things, such as
a surprise Friday
evening concert by Jason Mraz at
the Union last week. Or it could
be academic improvements, like
the addition of a doctoral program
for the Department of Women,
Gender and Sexuality Studies.
Substantive steps were also taken
toward goals that may be realized
in the future, such as raising
admission standards.
An Admissions Task Force
created by the Kansas Board of
Regents has proposed changes to
the Regents high school cirriculum
that would up the ante for students
wishing to apply to admission to
state universities in Kansas. Any
action on these proposals should
be watched closely.
On balance, its been a tough
semester, but we remain optimistic
about what the future holds. So
enjoy your break and well see
everyone next year.

Kansan Editorial Board.

Rajiv Tarigopulas article
Wikileaks revelations dangerous
to United States interests, foreign
policy constitutes nothing more
than an authoritarian diatribe
against a well informed populace.
Tarigopula says that increased
transparency would be benefcial
for the health of our democracy,
[but] this objective must be ac-
complished through traditional
investigative journalism, not
through an extreme, illegal,
unsanctioned release of classi-
fed documents. Tis statement,
though it may seem sensible, con-
veniently ignores the state of our
press. Te fact is that the press has
become just another subsidiary
of major American corporations.
News media owned by corpora-
tions have no interest in revealing
information that may upend the
status quo because of the vested
interests of such corporations in
military/government contracts.
What Assange represents is the
purest form of press. If we fail
to support people willing to risk
everything to further freedom
of information, then we are, in
efect, condemning ourselves to
ignorance.
Tarigopula then appeals to
the reader to trust in our elected
ofcials to act in accordance with
the oath they swear. On what
planet is he living that the public
should take their representatives
integrity for granted? Has he not
heard of Watergate? Te Monica
Lewinski Afair? Valerie Plames
outing? Te Pentagon Papers?
Afer the Citizens United decision
we have less reason than ever to
trust them. Tarigopulas argument
is not only an appeal to embrace
ignorance, but navety as well.
Te fact is that money, the
language of corporations, speaks
louder than the language of the
people. Te U.S. government is
supposed to be of, for, and by
Te People. However, without
all the facts at our disposal, We
Te People, and by proxy our
elected representatives, become
powerless to the whims of would-
be corporate puppet-masters both
foreign and domestic.

BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
scollins@kansan.com
The sound of little fingers play-
ing the piano fills an auditorium
in Murphy Hall. It doesnt matter
if they miss a key, because without
the KU Music Mentors, the chil-
dren wouldnt even know how to
play the instrument.
For almost 10 years, the on-
campus group Music Mentors has
served financially underprivileged
children ages to five to 15 by pro-
viding free private music lessons.
With more than 50 student volun-
teers, about 65 Lawrence children
get the chance to learn to play an
instrument.
Rebecca Lo, a senior from
Coffeyville and co-coordinator of
Music Mentors, said music pro-
vided her with a way to creatively
express herself. She said she taught
herself how to play the piano, gui-
tar and flute. As a child, Lo said,
she was shy around large groups
of people. Being able to play an
instrument gave her a confidence
boost, which was one reason she
wanted to teach other children
how to play an instrument to
give them confidence in them-
selves.
Music really helped me, Lo
said. I want to give others that
same confidence.
Confidence isnt the only ben-
efit children receive from play-
ing music. Stephanie Jian, a junior
from Lawrence and a co-coordina-
tor of Music Mentors, said music
helped children learn how to mul-
titask and could even improve
math skills. She plays and teaches
piano. She said it also teaches the
children about dedication. For her,
music has been a constant activity
in her life.
Its something Ill always be
able to do, Jian said. My skills
will always come in handy.
However, even with about 65
Lawrence students participating in
the program, there are about 40
children on a waiting list to be
paired up with a music mentor.
Jian said KU students dont have
to be classically trained in order
to teach. Any experience in music
will do because she said the pro-
gram wasnt just about teaching
music, but it was also about build-
ing relationships.
Its sort of like a Big Brothers
Big Sisters but with music, Jian
said.
Katie Oliver, a junior from
Leavenworth and a co-coordinator
of Music Mentors, said a KU stu-
dent can benefit from participat-
ing as a mentor because he or she
can make a difference in a young
childs life. She said that not only
does the child feel good about
himself or herself, but also the KU
student will feel good because he
or she can make a difference in the
childs life.
Its an odd feeling because I am
just a college kid, Oliver said. Its
the most rewarding experience.

VoLUNTEERS cAmpUS
Former chancellor may be recognized
BY ALLYSON SHAW
ashaw@kansan.com
It is always a chore to find a
parking spot on Massachusetts
street. Lawrences downtown area
seems to be thriving, despite the
economic recession. But the City
Hall 2010 Retail Market Report
was full of troubling numbers that
suggest Lawrence may not be as
booming as it seems.
The report was conducted by
the citys Retail Task Force, headed
by City Commissioner Rob
Chestnut. The report said that for
nearly 10 years the citys sales tax
collections have failed to keep up
with the rate of inflation.
Were very concerned,
Chestnut said. Ive been in
meetings talking about this for
nine months now, if that says
anything.
From 2005 to 2009, the citys
sales tax collections fell by an
average of 0.9 percent per year.
From 1995 to 2000 adjusted sales
tax collections grew by 2.1 percent
per year and by 3.7 percent per
year from 1990 to 1995.
But thats not the only problem.
The report also talks about the
citys pull factor its ability
to draw in shoppers from out of
town. In 2006, the citys per capita
retail spending was 12 percent
higher than the statewide average.
In 2009, it had fallen to 1 percent
below the statewide average.
Chestnut said the Retail Task
Force wants to hire consultants to
study the Lawrence economy and
make suggestions for improvement.
He said he hopes to see more
building and improvement in the
area around downtown.
Kirk McClure, an urban planning
professor at the University, said
the city is going about fixing these
problems the wrong way. He said
the area outside of downtown is
overbuilt and the shopping areas
at Sixth and Wakarusa streets and
the south side of Iowa street are
hurting the city.
There is only so much spending
to spread around, McClure said.
Our population is not growing
rapidly and wages in Lawrence are
falling behind the growth rate in
Kansas.
McClure argues that to increase
the pull factor, the city should
encourage new vendors to open
shop downtown.
Nobody is going to drive to
Lawrence to shop at Sixth and
Wakarusa; its just an ordinary
strip mall, McClure said.
But its a difficult balancing act
because without developing areas
outside of downtown to include
stores like Victorias Secret and
Dicks Sporting Goods, Lawrence
loses that business to surrounding
cities.
Jackie McDonald, a sophomore
from Colorado Springs, Co., said
she sometimes visits the Oak Park
Mall in Overland Park to shop at
Nordstrom. She said she wishes
Lawrence also had a Victorias
Secret.
I have to buy all of my makeup
out of town because no one in
Lawrence sells MAC, McDonald
said.
But keeping downtown
Lawrence locally owned is one
of the priorities of Downtown
Lawrence Inc. Director Jane
Pennington said around 65
to 70 percent of the stores on
Massachusetts street are locally
owned, and that is something that
keeps customers coming back.
When you go into a shop and
the owner is at the counter serving
you, you know youre going to get
good service, Pennington said.
Pennington said she often sees
out-of-town license plates on
Massachusetts street. She expects
that the street will continue to
grow, but that it will literally grow
up. She said Massachusetts street
businesses will have to expand
upward in the future, using upper
levels of buildings for retail space.
KU graduate Morgan Mattison
has owned her boutique,
Eccentricity, for three years. She
said she often has customers who
come in from Topeka and Kansas
City to enjoy the atmosphere in
downtown Lawrence.
If you go online, every site lists
downtown Lawrence as one of
the best things to do in Kansas,
Mattison said. Its a great place to
own a business.
Chestnut said the city
commission needs to form a plan
to turn the numbers around, and
that it wouldnt be the same formula
that cities like Overland Park and
Topeka use. But McClure said that
instead of trying to compete with
these cities by bringing in mega-
vendors, Lawrence should use its
one competitive edge.
We need to focus on the unique
thing we have downtown, he
said.

When he died Nov. 24, 2009,
E. Laurence Chalmers lef behind
a strong history at the University.
Chalmers, who served as Univer-
sity chancellor from 1969 to 1972,
was an advocate for students dur-
ing a time of great political unrest.
Yet despite his strong history
at the University, Chalmers is the
only former University chancellor
without a building named in his
honor.
Seyool Oh proposed a resolu-
tion to Student Senate in Novem-
ber to support naming building
afer Chalmers. Oh, the Stoufer
Neighborhood Association Sena-
tor, it was appropriate to honor
Chalmers, especially given his re-
lationship with students while he
was at the University.
Last year Oh, a graduate student
from Jinhae, South Korea, read a
Kansan article about Chalmers,
Former chancellor remembered.
He said he realized afer reading
it that Chalmers had served as a
voice for KU students.
Afer the Kansas Union fre in
1970, the city of Lawrence en-
acted a curfew for its residents.
Students reacted with protests.
As state, city and University
authorities were punishing stu-
dents for their actions, Chalmers
served as an advocate for them.
Many students and faculty
believe his decisions helped quell
further violence, Oh said in his
presentation to Senate. How-
ever, across the state, legislators,
parents and the Board of Regents
believed he was far too lenient on
the student activists.
Te Kansas Board of Regents
voted to fre Chalmers from the
role of chancellor because of his
leniency with students, but the
vote was not passed. Soon afer the
vote, Chalmers resigned from the
University and acceptted a job at
the Chicago Art Institute.
He followed the rules; he just
also supported the students, Oh
said.
Once Oh realized that Chalm-

COMMENTARY
Taking a
look at this
years bowl
schedule
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Follow this ranking of the bowl
games and your college football
worries will be forgotten faster than
Boise States national title hopes.
FROM wORsT TO FiRsT
35. New Mexico Bowl: BYU
(6-6) vs. UTEP (6-6), Dec. 18:
Neither team has a winning record,
but BYU running back JJ Di Luigi
wins the award for coolest name on
a bowl team.
34. Little Caesars Bowl:
Florida International (6-6) vs.
Toledo (8-4), Dec. 26: Florida
International fans were probably
excited to play in a bowl game this
year, only to find out theyre going
to Detroit in December.
33. GoDaddy.com bowl:
Miami, Ohio (9-4) vs. Middle
Tennessee (6-6), Jan. 6: This game
loses points for having a terrible
name and being played in January.
Unless you are a BCS-caliber bowl,
you have no business playing on or
after New Years.
32. New Orleans Bowl: Ohio
(8-4) vs. Troy (7-5), Dec. 18: This
game is only this high because its
in New Orleans, so the hundreds
of fans making the trip can at least
enjoy a cocktail on Bourbon St.
after the game.
31. Meineke Car Care Bowl:
Clemson (6-6) vs. South Florida
(7-5), Dec. 31: When the casual
fan has zero ties to either team
playing, up-tempo offenses can
provide enough entertainment.
Unfortunately, neither Clemson
nor South Florida has an offense.
30. BBVA Compass Bowl:
Pittsburgh (7-5) vs. Kentucky
(6-6), Jan. 6: Compass Bowl offi-
cial obviously didnt read my play-
ing after New Years rules and
regulations.
29. Holiday Bowl: Nebraska
(10-3) vs. Washington (6-6), Dec.
30: Something tells me Big 12 com-
missioner Dan Beebe didnt want a
Nebraska/Iowa Insight bowl with
Big 10 preview talks smothering
the headlines, so he forced the
Holiday Bowl to take the Huskers.
Who knows? Certainly not me. I
dont even get paid for this.
28. Military Bowl: Maryland
(8-4) vs. East Carolina (6-6),
Dec. 29: This game loses points
because any bowl with the word
military in it should not have
Maryland playing East Carolina. It
just shouldnt happen.
27. Hawaii Bowl: Tulsa (9-3)
vs. Hawaii (10-3), Dec. 24: Well,
at least Tulsa fans get to travel to
Hawaii on Christmas Eve.
26. Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl:
Nevada (12-1) vs. Boston College
(7-5), Jan. 9: Another terribly
named bowl being played after
New Years. The only positive thing
this bowl can accomplish is some-
how living up to its namesake.
25. Humanitarian Bowl:
Northern Illinois (10-3) vs.
Fresno St. (8-4), Dec. 18: Im not
sure if playing this game on the
blue Smurf Turf in Boise, Idaho
hurts or helps the ranking here. I
honestly cant decide.
24. Armed Forces Bowl: Army
(6-5) vs. SMU (7-6) Dec. 30:
Congratulations to Armed Forces
Bowl officials for getting it right
and selecting Army. Take notes,
Military

Expectation will
be set high for his
return on Dec. 18
By tIM DWyer
tdwyer@kansan.com
In nine days, a freshman will
play his first game as a Kansas
Jayhawk. In the very barest sense
of the event, thats all there is to
it. A freshman will debut.
But this is not a debut that has
come quietly, or quickly, and the
delay and the hype and the ques-
tions after every game about a
player that isnt even eligible to
suit up yet have only added on
to the colossal expectations that
await Josh Selby.
Expectations will be a little
ridiculous for him, starting out,
Self said, just because every-
bodys been waiting and ques-
tioning. Our USC home game
will be as anticipated a home
game as weve had maybe in
years there in Allen.
But even as Self attempted to
temper expectations for Selby,
he couldnt help but praise his
playmaking ability. And Self is
not one to give out undeserved
praise.
If you look at our team, who
breaks down pressure? Self said.
Obviously, you need a second
guy that can do that. Josh is the
only guy in our program that
you can run really bad offense
and come away with two or three
points, and every team needs a
guy like that.
It does not help temper the
expectations that the high praise
is heaped on him by teammates
at every opportunity.
Hes just like us, he doesnt
want to lose, sophomore for-
ward Thomas Robinson said.
He has that killer instinct also,
that we need added to the team.
Hes going to help a lot.
Selby could start as early as
his first game, Dec. 18 against
USC, likely replacing either Tyrel
Reed or Brady Morningstar in
the starting five. Self has said
several times that Selby will have
to win a spot

Howard ting/KanSan
Junior forward Aishah Sutherland puts up a feld goal on Saturday night against Memphis. Sutherland scored 14 points Saturday, leading the
Jayhawks a 90-58 victory.
By KatHLeen GIer
kgier@kansan.com
For the first time since 2005, the
Jayhawks are perfect through eight
games. Wednesday they take their
8-0 record on the road against
Michigan.
Coming home after away
games we get that home feel and
going out onto another away game
we have to keep the same energy as
last time, freshman guard Keena
Mays said.
As a freshman, traveling is a
change for Mays, but she enjoys
being on the road.
I like it, personally, Mays said
Just being with my team outside
of the Lawrence setting and the
Towers.
As the end
of the semes-
ter nears the
Jayhawks are
keeping up with
tutoring and
finishing work
before they leave
for road games.
As far as trav-
el we try to make
an environment
that is support-
ive and encouraging, but it is their
responsibility to put the time in,
Henrickson said.
At 6 p.m. tonight, Kansas will
play its second straight road game.
The Jayhawks enter the game with
an 8-0 record.
From a confidence stand point
it is great, Henrickson said. They
understand it is as much about
how they play and this is the out-
come we want, but it keeps us
focused on every game.
Kansas is one of 14 teams that
are undefeated in the nation at this
point in the season.
We are just really excited and
we want to keep it going, Mays
said.
Mays goals are pretty simple for
this game against Michigan.
Getting a win, and staying
undefeated Mays said.
The Jayhawks have three ath-
letes averaging double figures in
scoring: junior forward Aishah
Sutherland sophomore forward
Carolyn Davis and sophomore
guard Monica Engelman.
This group has been unselfish,
Henrickson said. They will look
for a girl that is more open and in
that aspect they are unselfish.
The Jayhawks have a 12.5
rebounds per game advantage
over their opponents, led by
Sutherlands 9.8 boards per game.
We are expecting a lot of dif-
ferent play in the post than we are
used to, so our
forwards are
going to need
to come out
to play and we
need to feed it
to them, Mays
said.
Kansas will
have advan-
tages facing
M i c h i g a n
which should make the game more
successful.
There is a size advantage but
also a speed advantage with high
percentage shots by everybody in
transition, Henrickson said. We
have to get to the free throw line
and attack and take advantage of
opportunities to go inside.
Michigan enters the game with
a 4-4 record after losing their most
recent game to Iowa State. The
Blue are led by Veronica Hicks
who averages 10.9 points per game
and 4.5 rebounds per game.
Edited by Tim Dwyer
The Jayhawks are 8-0 for the

A
merica has always known how to lay
the hammer down with the power
of words.
In response to the British Parliaments
Stamp Act of 1765, founding father Samuel
Adams said: If our trade be taxed, why not
our lands, or produce ... in short, everything
we possess? They tax us without having
legal representation.
You can basically envision Benjamin
Franklin jumping and shouting ohhh!
(perhaps later influencing fans of And1
streetball) after hearing that one.
Then there were the Lincoln-Douglas
debates of 1858.
But I cannot shake Judge Douglas teeth
loose from the Dred Scott decision. Like
some obstinate animal (I mean no disre-
spect), that will hang on when he has once
got his teeth fixed, you may cut off a leg, or
you may tear away an arm, still he will not
relax his hold.
Soon after, he concluded his argument
saying: My friends, that ends the chapter.
The Judge can take his half-hour.
The crowd must have been partying like
it was 1776 after that one.
In more recent times, New York MCs
Nas and Jay-Z have feuded over post-Biggie
Smalls supremacy.
Jay-Z sampled Nas voice from The
World Is Yours into his own song Dead
Presidents. Jay-Z later referred to his rea-
soning on the song Takeover: So yeah I
sampled your voice, you was usin it wrong/
You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song.
All three songs are great, but nonetheless
fueled a feud of words that arent so, well,
mother approved.
In todays internet-centric world, the
rationale of Adams and Lincoln has
been replaced with vicious and often
unfounded exchange. Youve seen it all
over YouTube. One commenter makes
a bold statement and is immediately
scorned by the next gagillion commenters.
Ill spare you of verbatim with some alterna-
tives. The commenter is incompetent and
a nickname for Richard. The commenter
should consider ending his life. The com-
menter may resemble a donkey, a cat or a
female dog (and no these arent cute and
cozy animals here).
These online commenters, with their ver-
bal fists miles, states or even countries away
from the next commenter, also exist in the
world of sports.
Boston Globe sports writer Dan
Shaughnessy, nicknamed Curly Haired
Boyfriend by spit-in-the-umpires-face Carl
Everett, seems to receive more hatred than
appreciation for his work.
After boldly suggesting that the Red Sox
should sign Derek Jeter (who has since
rejoined the Yankees), commenters went off
on the CHB.
One comment: Dan Shaughnessy
reminds me of an obnoxious little eight-
year-old kid that spouts out anything that
comes to mind just to hear his own voice
and draw attention to himself. (I used to be
that kid but I grew up).
Another: Its official... the Geri-Curl acti-
vator has seeped into Dans brain and has
caused irreparable dammage!
On KUSports.com, football reporter Matt
Tait acknowledges that after the Missouri
loss, the Jayhawks were outscored 103-24
in their final three games of the season
(against No. 9 Nebraska, No. 12 Oklahoma
State and No. 15 Missouri). Tait argues that
this was an improvement, considering that
the Jayhawks were outscored 159-24 in the
first three games of Big 12 play against lesser
opponents (Baylor, Kansas State and Texas
A&M). But forget Taits accurate analysis
or even giving Turner Gill time to build his
own team. The articles very first commenter
was ready to move on (despite an irrational
claim and poor grammar).
He stated, 103-24 not that shows great
improvement over the course of the season.
Fire this clown now!
These are mild examples, people. The
Internet is littered with nonsensical, bigoted
and vulgar comments.
Maybe its because were not in a box-
ing ring and instead in front of a computer
screen. Maybe its because its easier to nay-
say and point fingers than logically defend.
Either way, many readers of the internet
world must grasp this concept: the com-
menting section is for insight, response
and yes, even rebuttal. But show some class
and explain your stance. Dont simply blurt
profanities without reason or go off name-
calling like a child.
Be thankful that Sammy Adams didnt
just flip the British Parliament the bird.

PITTSBURGH Reserve Dante
Taylor scored a career-high 14
points and grabbed 10 rebounds
for his first career double-double
and led No. 3 Pittsburgh to a 70-42
victory over Delaware State on
Wednesday night.
Taylor played just 15 minutes
as coach Jamie Dixon went to his
bench early. J.J. Moore, another
reserve, scored 10 points. Ashton
Gibbs had nine points as 11 play-
ers scored for the Panthers, who
used their size to outrebound the
Hornets 41-18.
Pitt (10-0) has won 10 consecu-
tive games to start the season for
the seventh time in the past eight
seasons. The Panthers have won 45
of their past 46 home games and are
82-1 against non-conference oppo-
nents at Petersen Events Center.
Jordan Lawson had 11 points
for Delaware State (4-4), which
had won its last two games. Desi
Washington scored all nine of his
points in the first half.
Pitt plays No. 11 Tennessee on
Saturday at downtown Pittsburghs
Consol Energy Center, which is
considered a neutral site, in the
SEC/Big East Invitational.
Taylor had nine points and seven
rebounds in the first half as Pitt
built a 34-19 lead by dominating
the boards. Pitts height advantage
resulted in a 26-9 rebounding edge
in the half when the Panthers took
control after a sluggish opening five
minutes.
Delaware State, whose tallest
player is 6-foot-7, had no match for
the 6-9 Taylor, 6-9 Talib Zanna and
6-11 center Gary McGhee.
The Hornets tied the score 7-7
about 4 minutes in but Delaware
State missed its next 10 shots and
shot 29.2 percent for the half. The
drought enabled Pitt to take control
with a 13-0 run over the next 8:45.
The spurt began with a dunk by
Taylor and featured several lay-ins
and putbacks as Pitt dominated
inside.
When Chad Wilsons 3-pointer
pulled Delaware State within 23-16
with 3:44 left in the half, Dixon
called a timeout. The Panthers
regrouped and went on an 11-3
run to close the half.

NEW YORK Eugenia
McPherson scored a career-high
20 points to lead No. 20 St. Johns
to a 71-52 win over Seton Hall
on Wednesday night in the Big
East opener for both teams.
Shenneika Smith added 13
points and 10 rebounds for the
Red Storm.
Trailing 5-4 early on, St. Johns
went on a 21-6 run over the next
8 minutes to take a 16-point
lead with 6:27 left in the half.
McPherson had eight points
during the spurt, including con-
secutive 3-pointers that made
it 23-11.
Nadirah McKenith followed
those up with back-to-back
steals. She threw a nifty bounce
pass through three people to a
streaking Smith, who converted
it for an easy layup. McKenith
then took the second steal the
length of a floor for her own
layup that gave St. Johns a 27-11
advantage.
The Red Storm (8-1, 1-0) led
by 12 at the half and Seton Hall
(5-5, 0-1) could only get within
nine the rest of the game.
Centhya Hart had 12 points,
making all six of her shots for
the Red Storm.
Seton Hall closed to 36-27
early in the second half, but St.
Johns scored six straight points
to restore the double-digit lead
and put the game away.
McPherson, who was only
making 26 percent from behind
the arc this season, hit her first
four 3-pointers before finally
missing one with just under 2
minutes left.
Terry Green scored 11 points
and Tajay Ashmeade added 10
points and 11 rebounds to lead
the Pirates, who are guided by
first-year coach Anne Donovan.
The Hall of Famer led the New
York Liberty to the WNBA
Eastern Conference finals this
past year before taking over
Seton Hall.
Pirates leading scorer Kandice
Green, who had 31 points and
23 rebounds against William
and Mary on Sunday, was held
to just four points on 1-for-12
shooting.
It was the Red Storms seventh
straight victory over the Pirates.

Junior forward Markief Morris
It is imperative for Morris to stay out of foul
trouble. Morris leads the team with 3.5 fouls per
game and is only averaging 20.5 minutes. Coach Self
says the Jayhawks are a better team with both twins
on the foor. With conference season just a month
away, this game will be a good test, not just for Mor-
ris, but for all the big men because Colorado State
has size on the interior.
SophomoreguardDorianGreen
The Rams have a scoring presence on the inside
along with fve players shooting better than 38 per-
cent from the three-point line. The Rams have three
players taller than 6-foot-9, which will be a good
matchup for the Morris twins, Thomas Robinson and

The Rams are averaging 81 points per game, but their schedule
hasnt been too difcult. This will be a good test for Colorado States
two leading scorers, senior forwards Andy Ogide (17.6 points per game)
and Travis Franklin (15.6 points per game). The two are the only ones

This is Colorado States third road game, but the frst outside the state of Colorado. The other two games
were in Denver and boulder.
Kansas comes home from New York still undefeated. The Jayhawks
dont have another game until Southern California on Dec. 18. Kansas
will be able to and should leave everything on the court on Saturday.
Will Kansas become victim of
Kansas/Missouri schools losing
at the Sprint Center this season?
Missouri lost to Georgetown
in overtime on Nov. 30. Kansas
State defeated Marquette on
Nov. 22, but in its biggest game
of the season so far on Nov. 23
against Duke, they failed to show
up. Kansas shouldnt have a prob-
lem with Colorado State, who
hasnt had a difcult schedule to
date. This is considered a home
game, so fans should pack the
arena like in the past and give
Kansas that home advantage.
The Jayhawks have started a solid season with an 8-0 record. The
team has followed sophomore forward Carolyn Davis lead, who has
already scored 20 or more points four times this season. While she
contributes an average of 19 points per game, eight other players have
stepped up to average 5.7 or more points a game. Kansas is hitting 49.2
percent of its feld goals, and six Jayhawks are shooting better than 45
percent. Senior center Krysten Boogaard is leading the league at 70
percent.
Aishah Sutherland
Sutherland fnally seems to fnding her niche and
doing it well. She showed early promise, followed by
inconsistency last season, but has managed to leave
that weakness behind. She now averages 12.9 points
per game and ranks frst in the Big 12 in rebounding
with a 9.8 average. Alongside teammate Carolyn Da-
vis, she leads the team in blocks with 1.6 per game. If
Sutherland decides to show-up, which shes proven
she can do, the Jayhawks will have a good shot.
When can we expect to see sophomore guard Angel Goodrich
back on the foor?
As a team, Kansas has averaged 17.8 assists per game, but may miss
Goodrichs playmaking eforts. Unfortunately, she has missed the last
fve games with yet another injury. The team could use her energy,
leadership and speed on the foor, not to mention the 2.3 steals she
averaged, but she is still listed as day-to-day until healthy.

Sutherland
Michigan comes into tonights game with a 4-4 overall record. Kansas
will be the third Big 12 team the Wolverines face this season, the most
theyve ever faced in a single season. In each of their eight games of
the season, the team has been out-rebounded, only averaging 30.7 re-
bounds per game. The Wolverines are able to convert high-percentage
shots, but show signifcant weakness in mid-range accuracy. In their
face-of with Iowa Sate Sunday, the team attempted 50 shots from the
feld, hitting only 19. Though they rely heavily on points earned in the
paint, they only average 7.7 ofensive rebounds.
Senior guard Veronica Hicks
Hicks leads the team with 10.9 points. As the
teams second highest rebounder, she averages 4.5
boards a game, but grabbed a team-best of nine
against Iowa State.
How can the Jayhawks keep the Wolverines from scoring?
Keep the ball out of the paint. Plain and simple, thats where the
Wolverines are at their best. Taking away this option leaves little room
for high-scoring potential. Even in their 60-47 loss to Iowa State, the
Wolverines were able to hold a 16-10 lead in the paint for the frst half.

Bowl.
23. Liberty Bowl: Georgia (6-6)
vs. Central Florida (10-3), Dec.
31: Georgia is bowling for the 14th
straight season. Its the fourth best
streak in the country, tied with
Georgia Tech, who was formerly
coached by current Central Florida
head coach George OLeary. Oh,
the story lines unfolding in this
one.
22. Independence Bowl: Air
Force (8-4) vs. Georgia Tech (6-6)
Dec. 27: Theres no way Air Force
is losing in a bowl with this name.
21. Beef O Bradys St.
Petersburg Bowl: Southern Miss
(8-4) vs. Louisville (6-6), Dec. 21:
This matchup is so-so, but it wins
the award for best name by a bowl
game, and quite easily at that.
20. Texas Bowl: Illinois (6-6) vs.
Baylor (7-5), Dec. 29: When fans
think of prime time Big 10 vs. Big
12 match ups, who doesnt think of
Baylor vs. Illinois? I sure do.
19. Pinstripe Bowl: Kansas
State (7-5) vs. Syracuse (7-5), Dec.
30: This games biggest appeal is its
location: the new Yankee Stadium,
which has never hosted a bowl
game.
18. TicketCity Bowl: Texas
Tech (7-5) vs. Northwestern (7-5),
Jan. 1: The TicketCity Bowl should
not be played on New Years Day.
Nuff said.
17. Music City Bowl: Tennessee
(6-6) vs. North Carolina (7-5),
Dec. 30: Earlier this year, Tennessee
athletic director Mike Hamilton
canceled a two-game series with
the Tar Heels set to begin next
season. Now they have no choice
but to play North Carolina, whose
players will almost certainly use
Tennessees cancelation to play an
inspired game, one of which the
likes weve probably never seen. It
would be good for ratings, at least.
16. Champs Sports Bowl:
West Virginia (9-3) vs. NC State
(8-4), Dec. 28: The Mountaineers
defense, which only gives up 12
points a game, should push them
past the Wolfpack.
15. San Diego County Credit
Union Poinsettia Bowl: Navy
(8-3) vs. San Diego St. (8-4), Dec.
23: Second place only to the Beef
O Brady St. Petersburg Bowl for
best name.
14. Chick-fil-A Bowl: South
Carolina (9-4) vs. Florida St.
(9-4), Dec. 31: Steve Spurriers
Gamecocks were utterly destroyed
last weekend in Atlanta by Auburn,
56-21. But then again, Auburn has
been doing that to SEC foes all
season.
13. Insight Bowl: Missouri
(10-2) vs. Iowa (7-5), Dec. 28:
Missouri fans wanted to move to
the Big 10 last summer. Now lets
see how they handle a very average
Big 10 team in Tempe.
12. Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma (11-
2) vs. UConn (8-4), Jan. 1: Head
coach Bob Stoops has lost five
straight BCS games, giving Husky
fans hope in this one.
11. Gator Bowl: Michigan (7-5)
vs. Mississippi St. (8-4), Jan. 1:
Where would the Bulldogs of
Mississippi St. be if they ponied
up the money for a certain quar-
terback?
10. Outback Bowl: Florida
(7-5) vs. Penn St. (7-5), Jan. 1: Joe
Paterno has been coaching at Penn
State since the Lyndon B. Johnson
administration.
9. Las Vegas Bowl: Boise St.
(11-1) vs. Utah (10-2), Dec. 22:
In two weeks, Boise St. went from
playing in the Rose Bowl to play-
ing Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl.
Karma for playing on blue turf? I
think so.
8. Sun Bowl: Miami (7-5) vs.
Notre Dame (7-5), Dec. 31: There
havent been many traditional
powers who have struggled the
last decade more than these two
schools.
7. Alamo Bowl: Oklahoma St.
(10-2) vs. Arizona (7-5), Dec. 29:
Oklahoma St head coach Mike
Gundy is the Big 12s Coach of the
Year (Hes also still a man, and 43
now.)
6. Cotton Bowl: Texas A&M
(9-3) vs. LSU (10-2), Jan. 7: Look
for both fan bases to make the
short trips to Dallas and fill up
Cowboys Stadium.
5. Capital One Bowl: Alabama
(9-3) vs. Michigan St. (11-1), Jan.
1: The Crimson Tide eyed back-
to-back national titles. Now they
arent even in a BCS game.
4. Orange Bowl: Virginia Tech
(11-2) vs. Stanford (11-1), Jan. 3:
Dont expect Stanford coach Jim
Harbaugh to be there much longer.
The NFL will come calling soon.
3. Sugar Bowl: Arkansas (10-2)
vs. Ohio St. (11-1), Jan. 4: Two
of the nations best quarterbacks:
Ryan Mallett facing Terrelle Pryor.
2. Rose Bowl: TCU (12-0) vs.
Wisconsin (11-1), Jan. 1: If TCU
can stop one of the Big 10s best
offenses in years, they might be
considered the best non-BCS con-
ference school of all time.
1. National Championship:
Oregon (12-0) vs. Auburn (13-0),
Jan. 10: The game everyone has
been looking forward to. Two of
the nations best offenses collid-
ing after dominating opponents all
season. The punters can stay home
in this one.

commentary (continued from 1b)
from an entrenched starter, but if
he really is as talented as anybody
we have it would be, presumably,
very hard to keep him out of the
starting lineup for long.
But the real question is whether
or not Selby can live up to the
massive hype. Fans expect him to
cure all of the Jayhawks woes, but
at a glance, Selbys game seems to
mirror what Kansas is doing now
good and bad.
Kansas committed 22 turnovers
Tuesday night at Memphis, a num-
ber Self harped on post game. But
can Selby a freshman, remem-
ber actually improve the teams
already solid 1.6-to-1 assist-to-
turnover rate? Selby, like most of
the guards on Kansas roster, is not
a pure point. Hes a combo guard.
Josh is wild, too, Self said. So
hell fit right in.
Of course, it really only matters
if one person is concerned about
the weight of the expectations that
lie on him: Selby himself. Is he
wary of the hype?
Nope, he said. Not at all.
Good thing. Because the hype
its not going away.
Hes definitely better than what
people rate him at, Robinson said.
Better?
Better.
He was rated No. 1.
Hes better.
