Coalition to oppose Kobach’s voter photo ID plan ‘You statistically have a better chance of being stricken twice by lightning than of encountering a genuine act of voter fraud in Kansas’ By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A coalition of voting rights groups has formed to oppose an effort led by Secretary of Stateelect Kris Kobach to require voters to show a photo ID to vote. The Kansas Voter Coalition said on Monday that the proposal by

Kobach, a Republican who takes office Jan. 10, is “a solution to a problem whose existence cannot be demonstrated empirically.” Gov.elect Sam Brownback, a Republican, also supports voter ID. The coalition said that of 10 million votes cast in Kansas over the past six years, there have been six reported cases of alleged voter

fraud, and one was prosecuted successfully. “You statistically have a better chance of being stricken twice by lightning than of encountering a genuine act of voter fraud in Kansas,” the coalition stated. The coalition includes the Kansas State NAACP, the Kansas League of Women Voters, the Kansas chapter

of the National Organization for Women, the Kansas Equality Coalition, the Kansas chapter of the ACLU and several other groups. Kobach’s major Kobach campaign position was that Kansas elections were rife with fraud. In addition to voter ID, Kobach says he will push to require newly registered

voters to prove their citizenship. He also said he wants to restructure the secretary of state’s office to increase prosecution of alleged voter fraud. But the coalition said states that have approved voter ID make it more difficult for seniors, who no longer have driver’s licenses, to obtain the proper ID to vote. The coalition plans a news conference Jan. 19 at the Capitol. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

SHEAHON ZENGER SITS IN THE AUDIENCE Monday before being introduced as Kansas University’s new athletic director at the Wagnon Student Athlete Center. Behind him are his parents, Sharon and Weldon Zenger, of Manhattan. BELOW are his children, from left center, Luke, 13, Jake, 9, and Abby, 12, and his wife, Pam Zenger. Zenger was previously athletic director at Illinois State University. See the video at LJWorld.com.

New A.D. to make $450,000 a year By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

It may have taken four months and two offers for Kansas University to find its next athletic director, but it took only a fraction of a minute for Sheahon Zenger to say yes. Zenger, a native Kansan who spent the past six years as athletic director at Illinois State, was introduced as KU’s 16th A.D. at a news conference Monday. Though he showed emotion for what he was leaving behind, the joy for what he was inheriting far surpassed it. Asked how long he mulled things over after being offered the job at KU, Zenger recalled exactly. “It took about 10 seconds,” he said. “I want to be here.” Zenger, 44, will start his new job on Feb. 1, and his contract will run through June 30, 2015. It will pay him $450,000 per year. The contract includes language that seems to be a reaction to the controversial circumstances that led to Lew Perkins’ earlier-thanexpected resignation last September. None of that fazed Zenger, who preaches transparency, personal relationships and doing things “the old-fashioned way.” “There are no secrets in this business,” Zenger said. “There is only hard work.” Zenger’s introduction featured dozens of references to his days in Kansas. From being born in Salina to his f irst house in Lawrence near 20th and Ousdahl, just minutes from

Allen Fieldhouse, to the time he spent as a 5-foot-9 quarterback at Hays High. Wearing a red-and-blue striped tie and a Jayhawk pin on his suit, Zenger came across as a man wellversed in the history and traditions of KU. He spoke of watching football games from Campanile Hill, wearing No. 10 to honor Bobby Douglass and donning a Gale Sayers jersey in his fourth-grade school pictures. Throughout the course of the athletic director search, KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little ensured that she and the committee would find “the right fit” for Kansas. Monday, it was clear that GrayLittle believes that to be Zenger. “We gave ourselves several months; we were hoping for early spring,” she said. “To have it done by the beginning of the year, I think, is very helpful with regard to planning, with regard to questions people had about who they’ll be working with. This is an

outstanding outcome.” Beyond all of his rockchalk rhetoric, Zenger’s core message as an administrator came through loud and clear. “I will ask every studentathlete, every coach and every staff member to be assignment correct, fundamentally sound and mentally tough on the field of play, in the classroom and in our personal lives each and every day,” Zenger said. As Zenger talked about his vision for KU’s future, his wife, Pam, and their three children — Luke, Abby and Jake — sat in the front of Hadl Auditorium and beamed with pride. Nearby were Zenger’s mother and father, Weldon and Sharon Zenger, surprise visitors for the day, along with his high school football coach, Tom Cross, and several others who helped Zenger come home. ● Read more in Sports.

Colleagues describe driven scholar, humble man By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Those who remember new Kansas University Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger from his days as a doctoral student at KU recalled a highenergy, focused and driven man who remained humble and true to his Kansas roots.

Douglas County prosecutors and Lawrence police say they want to work in 2011 to reduce incidents of domestic violence. The district attorney’s office and police department have received grants to fund positions for a prosecutor and detective to investigate and prosecute domestic violence and other crimes against women. “We’re hoping that we’ll be able to enhance our services and, most importantly, provide an avenue of constant contact with victims from domestic violence from Branson the detective to the prosecutor,” District Attorney Charles Branson said. Matt Sarna, Lawrence police’s public affairs sergeant, said the department would set benchmarks and goals for the new position. He said in 2009 officers responded to 975 domestic disturbance calls and investigated 71 rapes, 598 incidents of domestic battery, plus 24 sexual battery and 11 stalking cases. “Our goal is to educate the public on these crimes and the importance of reporting them,” Sarna said. “We would like to see a decrease in all of these numbers.” The grants, made available by the federal STOP Violence Against Woman Act, are administered through the governor’s office. City and county leaders have until Thursday to accept the grants. A request from interim police chief Tarik Khatib is on tonight’s consent agenda for city commissioners to match nearly $18,000 for the $53,613 grant. Sarna said the one-year grant would essentially allow for promotion of an officer to detective to investigate violent crimes against women and the hiring of a new officer to replace the detective. Branson said Douglas County commissioners will likely consider his office’s request on Wednesday. The matching funds would include fringe benefits for the new prosecutor and the cost of office equipment. Even though funding is only guaranteed for one year, he’s hopeful about money for future years. Domestic violence cases can be difficult to prosecute, Branson said, because the victims and offenders know each other and have a relationship beyond the criminal prosecution. But he said the cases are too common in Douglas County. “One of the things we’re looking to do is educate (victims) about the system and better understand how the system can help them and then make a good decision based upon all that information,” Branson said, “to try to resolve the case in a fashion to where they won’t need us in the future.”

More details emerge in fraternity lawsuit By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A former pledge’s lawsuit against a Kansas University fraternity claims that fraternity officials should have known members were breaking the rules before he was injured at a September party at the Phi Gamma Delta house. In the lawsuit filed last week in Jackson County Circuit Court in Missouri, an attorney for Matt Fritzie, a freshman pledge from Stilwell, alleged at least one member of the fraternity’s national headquarters and members of the chapter house association visited the house during a three-week period when pledges were forced to construct a makeshift pool. The suit alleges the pool was prohibited on the property by fraternity rules. Fritzie was injured Sept. 17 after jumping into a homemade pool constructed of sandbags and tarp at the fraternity house, 1540 La. The suit also alleges Fritzie was ordered to dive into the pool during the “Fiji Island” party and became permanently paralyzed due to his injuries. “Each of these people should have recognized that a pool was being constructed, and that doing so was danger-

ous and a violation of fraternity rules. Each person, however, negligently failed to notice the pool,” Fritzie’s attorneys wrote in the suit. Defendants named in the lawsuit are the Phi Gamma Delta Chapter House Association, trustee and housing corporation member David R. Smith of Kansas City, Mo., and the fraternity’s national organization. Bill Martin, executive director for the Phi Gamma Delta International Fraternity in Lexington, Ky., said Monday the organization could not yet respond to the allegations. “It’s a matter that will be processed through the courts and through the normal process of litigation,” Martin said. KU has placed the fraternity on a two-year probationary period after finding the chapter violated KU’s Code of Student Rights of Responsibilities for hazing, though KU officials say they were not able to substantiate that the hazing at the party resulted in physical injuries. Fritzie was transferred from KU Hospital to Craig Hospital in Denver for further treatment and rehabilitation.

school, some KU faculty members said. Susan Twombly, professor and chairwoman of educational policy and leadership studies, worked with Zenger during his time at KU. She said it was rare for someone on Zenger’s career path to come back to school and earn a doctorate. “He quit his job to come back to school full-time,” she said. “He’s a really, really nice guy.” Twombly said it was a good bet that faculty members would like Zenger. “It’s not just the degree that helps him, but the attitude that goes along with getting that degree,” she said. At his Monday press conference, Zenger mentioned Twombly, along with a slew of other KU researchers and colleagues he had met during his time here.

Museum has 150 things to love about Kansas ————

Exhibit in Topeka coincides with state’s sesquicentennial this year By Steve Fry The Topeka Capital-Journal

T O P E K A — A cottonwood chair carved by a chainsaw artist, the “goat-gland” doctor’s naval hat, the use of sunflowers on clothing and political campaign material, and virtual story tellers will populate the Kansas Museum of History to celebrate the state’s 150th anniversary this year. The “150 Things I Love About Kansas” will be on display for 11 months, starting Jan. 28, in the special exhibits gallery of the museum. On Jan. 29, 1861, Kansas entered the union as the 34th state. “We want people to see 150 objects or images that represent Kansas symbols and stereotypes, but we also want to turn those stereotypes inside out and invited public reaction,” Rebecca J. Martin said during an interview. Martin is the assistant director of the museum. “There are more than 150 things we love about Kansas, but we’re hoping to stimulate conversation about that.” Among the objects on dis-

play will be a Kansas Navy cap worn by John R. Brinkley, a Kansas doctor claiming he could restore male virility by implanting goat glands in his patients. State governors bestowed honor on Brinkley, whose cap had the Kansas seal on it, according to the Kansas Historical Society website. The sesquicentennial exhibit goes beyond a static display of objects. It will have “interactives” allowing museum visitors to take an active role, Martin said. One is a series of “virtual story tellers,” Martin said. “We’re really excited about bringing this new technology into the gallery.” It starts with a “virtual greeter,” who will list history trivia, tying it to one of three story tellers. With the sweep of a hand, a visitor can pick which story teller to hear. The life-size figures displayed on a glass screen will be a woman living in the turbulent territorial days of Bleeding Kansas in the 1850s; a young Hispanic worker building railroads in Kansas during the late 1800s; and a

soldier stationed at Fort Riley in 1918 during the flu epidemic that killed millions around the world. The pandemic started at Fort Riley. “I think people will love it,” Martin said. “We’re on the cutting edge of the museum field when it comes to using this virtual technology.” Another interactive is the “video story booth,” where a visitor has up to two minutes to explain what he or she loves about Kansas. The best stories from the video booth will be posted on “Kansas Memory,” the Kansas Historical Society’s collections portal on kansasmemory.org. At a kiosk, a visitor can scroll through photos of 150 notable Kansans, order trading cards, then pick them up at the admissions desk. The Kansans include prohibitionist Carry Nation, abolitionist John Brown and William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, who grew up in Leavenworth and was a buffalo hunter, army scout and Wild West show entertainer. At another interactive, touching a region of Kansas

on a map produces a video of that area’s landscape, Martin said. About a third of the museum visitors are out-ofstate travelers or people from other countries who don’t know the state’s landscape, she said. Themes of the exhibit will be the Wild West, which will explore the real west, not versions depicted in movies and rodeos; weather and how it impacts the lives of Kansans; “The Wizard of Oz,” the L. Frank Baum book that transformed the world’s view of Kansas; sunflowers; the state’s landscape; famous people, native peoples, and immigrants; and wheat. Some of Martin’s favorite Kansas objects are: ● Western movie posters, which are “wonderful.” ● A chair carved from a cottonwood trunk, which has state symbols cut into it. The chair also has a “wacky story.” ● Sunflowers, especially how politicians have used the sunflower in campaign materials as an emblem to characterize Kansans as “sunny, open and bright.”

Man pleads guilty in credit union robbery A 21-year-old Lawrence man pleaded guilty Monday to two federal charges for robbing a Lawrence credit union last July, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said. Jim Cross, a U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesman, said Timothy Hays pleaded guilty in U.S. COURTS District Court in Kansas City, Kan., to one count of armed robbery and one count of brandishing a firearm during a robbery. A grand jury had indicted Hays on those same charges last summer. Prosecutors alleged Hays took currency July 12 from a teller in the KU Credit Union, 3400 W. Sixth St., and used a loaded firearm during the robbery. A teller told police that day the suspect showed a handgun and demanded money before grabbing an undisclosed amount of cash and leaving by the front door of the building, which is near Sixth Street and Kasold Drive. Police arrested Hays three hours after the robbery when officers discovered him in the area of the credit union. Hays is set to be sentenced April 4.

GOP planning to repeal ‘Obamacare’ Eager to show who’s now in charge, the House’s new Republican majority plans to vote to repeal President Barack Obama’s landmark health care overhaul before he even shows up in their chamber to give his State of the Union address. Dramatic as that early showdown promises to be — the vote will be Jan. 12, Republicans said Monday — it will be just the first in a series of struggles expected to play out in the next few months. Obama returns today from his holiday vacation, fresh off lame-duck legislative victories late last year, and Republicans will be sworn in Wednesday, primed to challenge him after gaining House control in last fall’s elections. Full repeal of the health care law is still a long shot. The House vote would be just the first, easiest step. But House Republicans vow they will follow up with dozens of attempts to hack away at what they derisively call “Obamacare.”

Tournament could bring 4,500 to town By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Mark it down: A national basketball championship will be coming to Lawrence this year. The Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau has landed a bid to host the United States Specialty Sports Association’s Winter National Basketball Tournament from March 18 to 20. The tournament is expected to attract 4,500 participants and fill about 700 hotel rooms. “We think we’ll have a lot of teams traveling in from quite a distance,” said Bob Sanner, sports marketing manager for

the Lawrence CVB. “They view this as their chance to compete for a national championship.” About 130 teams are expected to compete in the event. That’s up from about 85 teams that have competed in a regional tournament that USSSA previously has hosted in Lawrence. Sanner said his group was excited to land the tournament because of the amount of money team members and their families likely will spend in the city. “We know they are going to have to eat someplace, and we know there are other forms of commerce that will be going

The Obama administration said Monday it will allow 13 companies to resume deepwater drilling without any additional environmental scrutiny, just months after saying it would require strict reviews for new drilling in the wake of the BP oil spill. The government said it was not breaking its promise to require environmental reviews because the 13 companies — which include Chevron USA Inc. and Shell Offshore Inc. — had already started drilling the wells without detailed environmental studies. Drilling was suspended last year when the administration imposed a months-long moratorium following the BP spill. The ban was lifted in October, but drilling has not yet resumed in waters deeper than 500 feet in the Gulf of Mexico. U.S. officials said the 13 companies must comply with new policies and rules before resuming activity at 16 Gulf of Mexico wells. All but three are exploratory wells — the same type BP was drilling when the blowout of the Deepwater Horizon rig occurred. The April 20 explosion killed 11 workers and set off the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

Lawrence Bridal Extravaganza

The Lawrence school district is making plans to cut anywhere from $1.5 million to $5 million from next year’s budget, and its leaders will be looking to members of an appointed task force for help identifying savings. Monday night, task force members learned that the district likely could close one, maybe two elementary schools next year and SCHOOLS still have room in remaining schools to accommodate all students enrolled in kindergarten through fifth grade. The classroom capacity is there, leaders of the Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force concluded, after spending months studying the sizes and arrangements of classrooms and attaching that information to enrollment data. So now it’s up to task force members to review district needs, assess educational goals and forecast enrollment trends — all while balancing financial constraints. In the coming weeks they’ll weigh options that could include closing schools, increasing class sizes, eliminating programs or anything else to help board members balance their books for next year and beyond. David Johnson, who’s already spent four years cutting budgets as CEO of Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, said he and his fellow task force members would be facing plenty of “hurtful” decisions, in making their recommendations due by the end of February. Just where the decisions end up remains to be seen. “These are scenarios, not the answer,” said Scott Morgan, cochairman of the task force and a board member who does not plan to seek re-election in April. The school board formed the task force in May to create a community vision for the future of the district’s elementary schools given “the restraints of current and anticipated district resources.” The district already cut $4.6 million heading into the current academic year, cuts that prompted formation of the task force.

SOUND OFF

My question is regarding Allen Fieldhouse. I know where the “Allen” comes from, but where does the “fieldhouse” come from? Why not Allen Arena, or something like that?

Warren Corman, KU’s recently retired university architect, was on the design team for Allen Fieldhouse when it was built. He said Allen Fieldhouse, like Ahearn Fieldhouse at Kansas State, was built not just for basketball, but to host indoor track and field events, as well. A basketball court used to sit three feet on top of the clay, Corman said, and track and field events would use the space all winter. Though the clay was eventually replaced with concrete, the “fieldhouse” name was retained to respect tradition.

I read a Lawrence Journal-World article that mentioned a state “parole absconder list.” Is that available to the general public, and if so, how can I find it?

The list is available to the public and is posted online by the Kansas Department of Corrections at http:// bit.ly/ i5Xh6G.

Task force to consider money-saving tactics CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Now, there’s talk of losing another $1.5 million to $5 million going into the next academic year. “We can get to a much higher number,” conceded Rick Doll, district superintendent. “In a worst-worst-worst-case scenario, it’s higher than $5 million.” Earlier work by the task force has determined the size and usage of each classroom in the district, which will enable the group to come up with scenarios for how potential changes — from closing schools to renovating schools

to expanding schools or even building new schools — might affect operations and expenses. Scenarios also could include continued growth in English as a second language (ESL) programs, or extension of full-day kindergarten to another two schools within the next five years, according to draft information circulated during Monday’s meeting.

March trial set for fatal collision MARYSVILLE — A northeast Kansas man is scheduled to go on trial in March for a head-on collision that killed a teenager. Twenty-nine-year-old Jason Brammer, of Frankfort, has pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter while under the influence of alcohol and driving without liability insurance. The Kansas Highway Patrol said Brammer was westbound on a county road southeast of Marysville on Oct. 4 when his pickup collided head-on with a vehicle driven by 17-year-old Taylor White. The Marysville teen was killed in the wreck. KNZA-FM reports that Brammer is scheduled for a threeday jury trial beginning March 14 in Marshall County District Court. The Kansas attorney general’s office is prosecuting the case.

Brownback names 2 to Cabinet CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The Department of Health and Environment has been at the center of a long-running political fight over energy policy and plans by a Haysbased utility, Sunflower Electric Power Corp., to build a coal-fired power plant in Finney County in southwest Kansas. Last month, Acting Secretary John Mitchell issued an air-quality permit that Sunflower needed to move ahead with its $2.8 billion project. Brownback is a strong supporter of the Sunflower project. The department also

administers public health programs and coordinates the state's efforts to deal with disease outbreaks and epidemics. Its current budget is $240 million, and it has a staff of more than 1,000 employees. Moser's background seemed more aligned with that side of the agency. The Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services has about 6,300 employees and operates six hospitals for the developmentally disabled and mentally ill. Its budget exceeds $1.7 billion, making it the third-largest in state government, behind the Department of Education, which

distributes aid to public schools, and the higher education system. SRS oversees foster care for troubled children, with its workers assessing whether children should be removed from their families over allegations of abuse and neglect. That's repeatedly led to legislative scrutiny — and public criticism — of its decisions.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ● An injection of cash that values Facebook at $50 billion will help it delay going public for at least another year, giving the company breathing room to focus on long-term ambition rather than shortterm profit. The infusion — $500 million from elite investment house Goldman Sachs and a Russian investor, according to a report by The New York Times — represents the most emphatic endorsement yet of Facebook’s potential to make money in online social networking. It places the company at twice the value of Internet giant Yahoo and about equal to what well-established names such as Boeing and Kraft Foods are worth on the open market.

Bank of America reaches deal with Freddie, Fannie By Pallavi Gogoi Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Bank of America Corp. reached a $2.8 billion settlement with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac over claims that one of its businesses sold bad mortgages. The payment is far lower than analysts expected and removes some uncertainty that has hovered over the bank. The settlement is the biggest yet involving banks and the two governmentbacked mortgage giants, which continue to suffer huge losses from the collapse of the housing market. Analysts and investors have been waiting to see how hard a line Fannie and Freddie would take with big mortgage lenders such as Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. Some estimates ran as high as $10 billion for a Bank of America settlement. “The government gave Bank of America a very attractive deal,” said Christopher Whalen, managing director of Institutional Risk Analytics. Bank stocks rallied on the news, with Bank of America up more than 6 percent and Wells Fargo up 2 percent. Other settlements are likely soon. The claims stem from mortgages sold to Fannie and

Freddie by former mortgage giant Countrywide Financial, which Bank of America bought in 2008. The two government-backed agencies buy mortgages from lenders and resell them to investors. They want banks to buy back mortgages that had incorrect information about the income and other qualifications of borrowers. During the housing boom, lenders such as Countrywide routinely gave mortgages to people who ultimately couldn’t afford them. This lit the fuse for the financial meltdown in 2008. Most of the mortgages that Fannie and Freddie want to sell back to the banks are in default. By removing this as an issue, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan hopes investors will buy his message of focusing on customers and building its traditional banking business. But Bank of America has several big challenges remaining. Last fall, the bank was accused of using faulty documents to foreclose on thousands of homeowners. All 50 state attorneys general have launched investigations into the foreclosure practices of Bank of America and other banks. Bank of America also faces lawsuits from other investors who are trying to recoup losses from mortgages they say contained faulty information.

EDITORIALS

Strong pick Kansas University’s new athletic director seems to have many of the qualities Kansans value.

t’s hard not to think about how certain things run in cycles when considering the hiring of Kansas native Sheahon Zenger as Kansas University’s new athletic director. Bob Frederick stepped down as KU’s athletic director in 2001 citing concerns about the changing face of college athletics and the added financial pressures associated with those changes. Frederick was replaced by Al Bohl, whose flashy salesmanship was a stark contrast to Frederick’s quiet, thoughtful style. After less than two years, the university asked Bohl to leave and replaced him with Lew Perkins, a man with an even bigger reputation than Bohl for raising the financial stature of college athletic programs. Unfortunately, his focus on raising money offended some of the Jayhawk faithful and may have sent a message to members of his staff who now stand accused of pocketing proceeds from Jayhawk ticket sales. Now, with the hiring of Zenger, KU leaders seem to be making an intentional return to the Frederick model. Frederick was a former KU basketball player who earned three degrees from KU, including a doctorate in educational administration. Zenger, a Kansas native, has two degrees from Kansas State University, but also earned a doctorate from KU in educational policy and leadership. Frederick loved KU athletics, but he also placed a high value on education. People who know Zenger say he also fits that mold. At a time when KU and other universities across the nation are struggling to find the proper balance between athletics and academics, Zenger seems like a good fit for Kansas. Comments from KU faculty member Jerry Bailey, who sat on Zenger’s dissertation committee, provide the perfect resume for many Kansas fans. “He is smart as hell. He is generous. He remembers his roots. He is respectful.” Former KU assistant basketball coach Tim Jankovich, who worked with Zenger at Illinois State University added to the recommendation. “He has no ego and has tremendous character.” Those descriptions probably wouldn’t have been the first to pop into anyone’s mind with either Bohl or Perkins, but they certainly applied to Frederick. Many people defended Perkins by saying he was “doing the job he was hired to do,” which was to raise money and build facilities at KU. Zenger, of course, will have to continue that trend to pay off the facilities and contract buyouts of the Perkins era. It also remains to be seen whether he can wield the needed clout to handle continuing conference realignments and other issues in the highly competitive arena of college sports. Especially now, KU needs an AD who is smart, thoughtful and professional, someone who can play with the big names in college athletics while guarding the integrity and academic mission of the university. It sounds like Zenger could be that man. We welcome him and wish him much success as KU’s athletic director.

This winter, he will begin rebuilding Antioch, with the hope of enrolling 25 pioneering students by autumn. Roosevelt has undertaken an unusual challenge — resurrecting a college is no small task — but almost no one, except perhaps the most adamantine alumni and faculty, would want simply to reconstruct the old college. With this challenge comes one of the great opportunities in higher education: the chance to reinvent the whole idea of higher education. Indeed, if the new Antioch offers its students a menu much like that already offered at American colleges, it won’t be true to its innovative character and tradition. Antioch’s first president was, after all, the legendary education reformer Horace Mann. There’s too much emphasis today on getting into college and too little emphasis on examining the idea of college. One man who has done so is Josiah Bunting III, who has been president of Briarcliff College and Hampden-Sydney College, superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute and headmaster at New Jersey’s Lawrenceville School. A decade ago, Bunting wrote a provocative book, “An Education for Our Time,” in which he created, from scratch, a new kind of college, designed, as he put it in a conversation the other day, for “the preparation of virtuous and disinterested citizens and leaders for the American Republic.” Ask not what your college can do for you, ask what college can do for America — or the world.

David Shribman There’s too much “emphasis today on

getting into college and too little emphasis on examining the idea of college.”

Bunting’s college would require its students to know a Western and non-Western language fluently, spend a year in a non-Western country, perform some type of service and take boxing. It would have no fraternities. Its faculty would be composed of authentic scholars and mature laymen with an avocation for literature, philosophy and economics, and these faculty members would live with and around students as role models and teachers. “You want people in there,” said Bunting, “whose own lives encapsulate the values the college seeks.” That’s a start, though I anticipate a lively argument about the boxing. But most of all, Roosevelt and the students he recruits — people who will retire sometime after the year 2060 — need to ask big questions about the meaning and value of education. Here are some of the questions that I as a parent of a college freshman think about: ● What is the difference between being trained and being educated? Great colleges do a little of the

former and a lot of the latter, and respect both undertakings equally. It’s one thing to be trained to perform a task, and none of us who goes to a pharmacy or drives over a bridge want our pharmacists or engineers to skimp on training. But it is quite another thing to be educated — to be given the intellectual tools to understand a changing world and to function effectively in it. The educated college graduate knows more than a little about history, philosophy, religion, economics, literature, the arts and the sciences. None of these qualifies him (or, more likely her — for women now outnumber men in college) for any one profession. The lack of any one of them makes him incapable of recognizing and harnessing change or fully understanding the great permanent questions — about truth, beauty, honesty, loyalty, love — with which humankind has wrestled for centuries. ● What is to be read? The simple answer may be to quote Matthew Arnold and say that college graduates of any time should be exposed, as he put it in 1869, to “the best which has been thought and said.” That is a much revered and much ridiculed formula, but its mere resilience is proof that it is not empty of value. It is impossible to know where we are going, but it is possible to know where we have been. Great literature and history are the buoys for this voyage. No educated man or woman in the West can be without more than a passing familiarity with the Bible and Shakespeare. For generations my college required all its students to read “Paradise Lost.” We hated it, but never forgot it, and at every reunion we complain that reading it is no longer required. Bring back Milton, along with the great English

poets and novelists and, yes, journalists, particularly those of 18th-century England, the American muckrakers of the early 20th century and the World War II and Vietnam correspondents and, lest we forget, landmark works like “J’accuse,” written by Zola in 1898 about the Dreyfus affair. Then begin a serious examination of the literature of other cultures. But the new president of Antioch cannot be satisfied with a “Great Books” approach; that already exists — at St. John’s College, for instance, where it was adopted, ironically enough, when the school was in economic distress. Roosevelt must nurture an atmosphere where the old is respected but the new welcomed. ● What should college life be? College deans like to speak of a place where “the life of the mind is pre-eminent,” but anyone who steps on a college campus today finds both far more and far less than that. Today’s colleges are a riot of outdoor activities, arts organizations, political groups, debate societies, clubs. These are a large part of college life and good preparation for life beyond campus. But no one who has spent time at a college lately can plausibly argue that campus life is healthy — students belong to groups that exclude others and promote particularistic goals. They are up all night, exhausted during the day, often impaired on weekends. Adults have always said that, and by and large students have always behaved that way. But while we’re reinventing college, why not take a shot at reinventing college life? A yawning generation, their parents and their country await Roosevelt’s prescription.

The Kansas Turnpike Authority reported that only nine lives had been YEARS lost on the 236AGO mile highway in IN 1986 1985 — the lowest fatality rate ever recorded in its 30-year history. Douglas County roads also had seen a decrease in auto fatalities during the year.

Up to a foot of snow had closed highways and caused three YEARS deaths in a fierce AGO storm affecting IN 1971 much of Kansas and the northwestern corner of Missouri. Two high school bands en route home from the Orange Bowl parade in Miami, Fla., had been stranded. The 120 members of the Phillipsburg, Kan., band had made it as far as Concordia before having to spend the night there in private homes. Ninety high school students from Syracuse, Neb., had been stranded with their two buses at Maryville, Mo., where they spent the night at Northwest Missouri State College.

Look at Arizona To the editor: I open my paper to see that Charles Krauthammer has joined the “Oh my god, the Obama death panels are back” crowd. The new heath care bill mandates that payments must be made for VOLUNTARY counseling sessions, just as Section 1233 did. Mr. K glosses over this minor fact. Never let the facts get in the way of a good anti-Obama story. If Mr. K worries about “death panels,” he should direct his attention to Arizona, where the GOP has them in full flower. Fred A. Cleaver, Lawrence

Plans can change To the editor: Thank you for publishing the Sunday editorial “Informed choice” to help debunk the “death panel” image that advance care planning has received. Advance care planning is not about limiting or rationing care; it’s not about hastening death; it’s not about having choices made for the patient; and it’s not about saving money. Advance care planning does

involve understanding your possible future health care choices, thinking about your choices in light of what is important to you and your values, talking about your decisions with loved ones and your doctors, writing down your plans in advance directives so they will be ready if needed. It is important to remember that your plans and advance directives can be changed as your situation or wishes change. Advance care planning is done over time and in not a single conversation. Decisions like these are best considered before there is a health crisis, and changes to your plans can be made at any time. Planning ahead for your health care, now, while you are able to, is a gift you can give to yourself and to those you love. Linda Upstill, Coalition to Honor End-of-Life Choices (CHEC), Lawrence

Excessive — Exceeding a normal, usual, reasonable or proper limit. (Uh, right … celebrating a touchdown is not normal, usual, reasonable or proper?)

TOPEKA — Outgoing Kansas Attorney General Steve Six says his office recovered at least $25 million for consumers and the state’s Medicaid program in the last six months of 2010. Six reported the statistics Monday, just a week before the Democrat leaves office. He lost last year’s election to Republican Derek Schmidt. Six said that since the fiscal year began July 1, his office’s Medicaid fraud division has recovered $19.6 million. He said most of that came from companies that improperly billed Medicaid more than the average wholesale price for drugs. Medicaid covers services for the poor and disabled. Six also said his office recovered $5.8 million for consumers during the same period. He said the figures also are likely to rise as more cases from the end of the year are tallied.

Mountain lion shot in cattle pasture JEFFERSON CITY, MO. — Missouri has another confirmed sighting of a mountain lion.

And this time, there’s a body to prove it. The state Department of Conservation says a mountain lion was shot and killed Sunday night by a farmer in northwest Missouri’s Ray County. The animal was a young male who showed no sign of having been held in captivity. It weighed 115 pounds and was a little over six-and-a-half feet from its nose to the tip of its tail. Dogs had forced the mountain lion into a tree near where cattle were grazing. The Ray County cat is Missouri’s 12th confirmed mountain lion sighting since 1994.

Flag collection needs new home PITTSBURG — The 890 American flags used in Pittsburg’s Avenue of Flags every Memorial Day need a new home. Martin Dickinson, chairman of the Avenue of Flags event, says the building that houses the flags may be more than 100 years old, and it’s starting to fall apart. The Pittsburg Morning Sun reported that the organization is planning a fundraising effort to raise enough money to fix the building, or to build a new one.

MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA INTERVIEW NEW KANSAS UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR SHEAHON ZENGER, BACKGROUND LEFT, and KU football coach Turner Gill, foreground right, after Zenger was introduced Monday.

By Tom Keegan

Self, Gill quick to praise new boss By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self slipped unnoticed into Kansas University’s Hadl Auditorium at 1:40 p.m. Monday, right after the start of athletic director Sheahon Zenger’s introductory news conference. KU’s eighth-year basketball coach — who Zenger agreed is “the face of KU’s athletic department” — stood in the back of the room next to a Journal-World reporter while listening intently to his new boss. “I thought he was obviously very prepared, far more prepared than I was during my (first KU) press conference,” Self said, while en route to his office prior to yet another 2010-11 hoops practice. He spoke with Zenger on the

AD-ING IT ALL UP In print: Sheahon Zenger talks about his decision to come to KU, page 1A Online: Video, a photo gallery and a copy of Zenger’s employment contract at KUsports.com phone late Sunday night and in person Monday morning. “(He’s) prepared, excited, energized. It’s just going to be a matter of hours before I think the morale of this place has been improved,” Self said. He said he was pleased to have met Zenger, his wife, Pam, their three kids and Zenger’s parents, but Self hasn’t “really had a chance to sit down and visit with him one-

on-one yet. We’ve talked a lot on the phone. Anybody who meets him knows he is very excited about this position.” Zenger is the man who hired former KU assistant Tim Jankovich as head coach at Illinois State. “Tim is not only a colleague and a guy I worked with as part of our staff, Self but a close friend. He told me this is obviously a great day for us and a tough, tough loss for them (at ISU),” Self said. “Tim feels so strongly about the great job he did for Illinois State.” KU football coach Turner Gill

Jayhawk fans worried about nailing down the pronunciation of new Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger’s first name need look no farther than Tom Cross for help. Cross, Zenger’s football coach at Hays High in the 1980s, had a simple way around the issue. “Officials used to always ask me, ‘Now, what’s his name?’ And I’d say, ‘Zenger,’” Cross said Monday, moments after his former quarterback was introduced as KU’s 16th athletic director. “They’d say, ‘No, I mean his first name.’ And I’d go, ‘I don’t know, I just call him ‘Hey Zenger.’ I don’t call him Sheahon, I just say, ‘Hey Zenger.’” While that works for Cross, who’s still in the coaching business with weight lifters in Olathe, it’s far from the worst Zenger’s heard throughout his life. “If you mispronounce it, it doesn’t matter,” he said. “It’s been getting mispronounced my whole life.”

Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

Rightfully so. The name Sheahon is a derivative of the Irish surname, Sheehan, which means “peaceful.” So where did Zenger get the name? “My mom’s name’s Sharon, my older brother’s name is Sheldon, my sister’s name is Shannon,” he said. “(My mom) wanted to give me a two-syllable, ‘Sh’ name and didn’t want it to be Sherman, no offense to the Shermans out there. We lived in Salina and there was a long-standing family there by the name of Sheahon. She thought it

stood off to a side with interim A.D. Sean Lester in a jam-packed Hadl Auditorium. “It was a great speech,” Gill said. “More importantly, he’s a solid person who I think is very much so the best man for us to move forward in this athletic department. I think our fans will enjoy him. I’m excited to have him be a part of it. You can obviously feel a sense of his coaching (experience). I know he’s a very organized person. I’ve heard nothing but great things from people who know him and have worked with him. “He has a great background, a doctorate degree. He’s been involved with athletic programs and been involved in recruiting. He understands what coaches do Please see COACHES, page 3B

About that name … it’s ZENG-er anything but peaceful. He spoke Monday of an intense love for all things Kansas and did so with the kind of zest and electricity you’d expect to see from a man who just landed his dream job. There’s a reason for that, Cross says. It’s just the way Zenger does things. “When I was running my guys, I never liked to run ’em in a line across because they were always looking around to see how they were doing compared to Joe,” Cross said. “I liked to run ’em one at a time. How are you doing compared to you? I think he’s kind of that way.” Zenger officially begins his career at KU on Feb. 1. Until then, he’ll return to Normal, Ill., where he’ll pack his belongings and say goodbye to some great friends, all with one eye on Kansas. Don’t expect him to forget anything. At either place. “He just always took care of the little details,” Cross said.

KU coach Henrickson not impressed with 56-41 victory

Several hours after being introduced as Kansas University’s new athletic director, Sheahon Zenger watched the school’s women’s basketball team play Monday night against UMKC in Allen Fieldhouse, a game attended by 2,012 spectators. Seventh-year KU coach Bonnie Henrickson just hoped he didn’t watch too closely. “I hope they bothered him the entire time,” Henrickson joked of well-wishers introducing themselves to Zenger. “I’m sure he was real impressed.” We’ve Still, even on played KU a night when KU was far quite a bit, from its best, and I think winning, 56-41, this is the on the strength of 27 points best team and 14 that Bonnie rebounds from has had Carolyn Davis, because of it was clear to the visiting their inside coach that this game.” team has more going for it — UMKC coach than its recent Candace Whitaker, predecessors. “I think they on Bonnie have a great Henrickson’s ball team,” Jayhawks UMKC coach Candace Whitaker said. “They have a great inside-out attack. I’ve been at UMKC for five years. We’ve played KU quite a bit, and I think this is the best team that Bonnie has had because of their inside game. They’ve got nice guards that can distribute and get out in transition.” It helps when the team’s center gets down the court at the pace of a guard. “I love to run the floor,” said Davis, averaging 19.6 points per game. “That’s one of my biggest advantages against other post players. I just know I can get easy position to make easy buckets, and it’s the best way to score.” Easy buckets were more difficult than usual for Davis to come by in the first half, thanks to Kangaroos freshman center Ashli Hill,

Chiefs hoping to emulate ‘08 Cardinals By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — The signs are all there if Todd Haley decides to cross his fingers and hope history is repeating itself. In many ways, his Kansas City Chiefs seem to be playing out the same underdog scenario that turned the 2008 Arizona Cardinals into unlikely Super Bowl entrants. With Haley serving as offensive coordinator, the ’08 Cardinals finished 9-7 and then reeled off three straight playoff upsets. They got to the Super Bowl in Ken Whisenhunt’s second season as head coach. Haley, in his second season, surprised everyone by guiding the Chiefs to the AFC West title. They’ll host Baltimore at noon

Sunday in the first playoff game in Arrowhead Stadium since 2003. Like the 2008 Cardinals, the Chiefs have no recent playoff success to draw from. And like the Cardinals of that year, they’re going into the postseason with fresh memories of a potentially confidence-shattering loss. Haley’s staff even includes a right-hand man who was with him in Arizona, assistant head coach Mo Carthon. By the end of the week, the Chiefs likely all will be familiar with the story of the ’08 Cardinals. “There are probably some similarities,” Haley said Monday. “This is a team that hasn’t been in this situation for a while. Hasn’t won a bunch of postseason games in a while, or any. And we were in that situation (in Arizona) with a team

that didn’t have postseason experience as a team, but yet had some key guys that were able to get that message out there and help a lot of guys.” As bad as they’ve been in recent decades, the Chiefs (10-6) can still point to more postseason history than the 2008 Cardinals of Haley and Whisenhunt. The three playoff games Arizona won getting to the Super Bowl that season were one more than the Arizona franchise had won in decades. But the Chiefs have posted only three postseason victories since capturing the 1970 Super Bowl, and none since the 1993 season. The ’08 Cardinals were quarterbacked by Kurt Warner, who’d won the Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams. The Chiefs are led by

FREE STATE HIGH

Matt Cassel, who at least knows what success looks like after backing up Tom Brady for four years in New England. But the Chiefs also have linebacker Mike Vrabel, a three-time Super Bowl winner with New England, and coordinators Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel, who also wear Patriots Super Bowl rings. “We’ve got 21 guys or so ... players that have played in postseason games and have great, great experience to pass along,” Haley said. “Our coaching staff has obviously got great experience in the postseason. Those are the things you need to go forward, be ready for this week. “We showed in Arizona if you win one game, you’ve got a chance to do anything,” Haley said.

Reed emerges as ‘face’ of KU hoops team By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Just one Kansas University men’s basketball player has started all 13 games this season. That person is senior combo guard Tyrel Reed, who takes a 9. 1 scoring, 2.8 rebounding average into Wednesday’s 7 p.m. home game against UMKC. “One thing that has hap-

pened that is very positive for us ... I think Tyrel Reed has emerged as the face of our program,” KU coach Bill Self said on Monday’s Hawk Talk radio show. “Of course, he is a great role model. I think he has the genuine respect of everybody of how hard he tries and what he’s done. Brady, too,” Self added of fellow senior/fellow Kansan Brady Morningstar, who has started nine games

and come off the bench in four. “Tyrel is playing well. The whole thing about Tyrel that’s impressive ... we’ve always counted on him to be a shotmaker for us. He’s not made shots like the past, but is still playing very well.” The 6-foot-3 Reed, who has 15 rebounds in KU’s last three games, has made 40.9 percent of his shots, 33.3 percent of his threes.

● Recruiting: Ben McLemore, a 6-5 senior guard from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., who attended Sunday’s KU-Miami game, likely will attend another KU game this season before choosing either KU or Missouri, his former AAU coach tells Rivals.com. “Ben wants to see what it’s like the actual day of a game, pre-game and shoot-around,

so we’re planning to return,” Darius Cobb of the St. Louis Majestics said. “Ben isn’t going to make a quick decision now that he's returned home from Kansas,” Cobb added. “It’s a two-horse race. For Ben, it's just a matter of gathering all the information about each school and making an informed decision.” Cobb said McLemore loved it when the KU fans chanted, “We Want Ben.”

“To hear 4,000 to 5,000 people calling your name and saying they want you to attend their school, what kid wouldn't enjoy that type of attention? Ben didn't know whether to shake, wave his hand, tip his hat or whatever,” Cobb said. DeAndre Daniels, 6-9 senior from IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., is expected to choose either KU, Kentucky or Texas any day now.

Baldwin girls cruise past Eudora J-W Staff Reports

EUDORA — A 10-0 run to start the third quarter boosted Baldwin High to a 54-31 girls basketball victory over Eudora on Monday night. Baldwin’s Ramie Burkhart scored five of her game-high 17 points during the opening minutes of the second half. Allison Howard, who added 13 points for the Bulldogs,

drained a three-pointer to give Baldwin a 33-14 lead less than three minutes into the third quarter. The Bulldogs (5-1) went on to defeat the Cardinals and win their first game of 2011. They also outscored the Cardinals 10-0 in the first 3:30 of the fourth quarter. Both teams struggled to find their touch in their first game back from winter break.

Burkhart helped Baldwin get off to a quick start by scoring six points during the first three minutes. Baldwin will host Louisburg at 6 p.m. Friday.

a Free State High graduate. All six of Hill’s blocked shots came in the first half on a night she also contributed seven rebounds and two points. “The coaches talked a lot about her,” Davis said of Hill. “I knew what to expect when I came into the game. She blocked my shot right off the bat, and it was kind of a stun. I didn’t match her intensity in the first half.” Hill received a passionate ovation when introduced and showed no nerves when playing. “I knew it was going to be all love, so it was a positive environment for me,” Hill said. “A whole bunch of my family was here and my high school basketball team, so they supported me well.” Hill originally orally committed to Oklahoma State,

“

I knew it was going to be all love, so it was a positive environment for me.” — UMKC’s Ashli Hill, a Free State High graduate before switching to UMKC. She said was recruited by KU but wanted to experience college at an out-of-town school. UMKC (5-10) trailed, 26-16, at the half and drew within 3122 with 16:38 left, but never could cut its deficit to single digits again. Kansas (13-1) opens Big 12 play against Texas Tech in Allen Fieldhouse at 7 p.m. Saturday. More than 10,000 tickets are available. — Sports editor Tom Keegan can be reached at 832-7147.

SHEAHON ZENGER ADDRESSES THE MEDIA at a news conference Monday during which he was introduced as Kansas’ next athletic director.

Coaches praise new boss Zenger CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

and what they need to do. He has a great personality to go out and reach people. “He came across with strong passion. He feels good about where he’s at, what he wants to do. He has great vision, great energy. When you have those kind of things ... you are excited to work for a guy like that.” KU volleyball coach Ray Bechard, like Zenger, is a native Kansan.

“I grew up an hour west of Hays,” Bechard said of Zenger’s home town. “I’m thinking I had his dad for a class at Fort Hays State University. I remember the name (Zenger). He’s younger than I am, (but) I’m sure we’ll share some of the same Western Kansas stories at some point.” Bechard said Zenger, “is going to be great. It’s obvious he’s excited about being here. He can hit the ground running, just from the standpoint he

knows the place. I visited with him a little last night. He was so excited about today, getting here and getting started.” KU coach Self said later on Monday’s Hawk Talk radio show that Zenger held meetings with KU coaches and the administrative staff after his news conference. “He’s fired up,” Self said. “I’m excited for him. I’m excited for us. I think it’s going to be a great situation for all of us.”

care of her when she was recovering from surgery. Two weeks later, Anna asked if we could be friends again. I replied, “Of course!” and things returned to normal. But last year, she once again abruptly ended things. I have since discovered she has treated others this way. Anna’s cold shoulder is beginning to warm again. I admit, I miss my friend — she’s smart, funny and has anniesmailbox@creators.com many good qualities. But a big Dear Confused: The intensi- part of me says to value my ty of finding someone special dignity and mental health during the summer may not more. Am I on the right track? translate to a permanent relationship, regardless of how it seems to you now. And too much intensity can be frightening. You and Rachel may have a future together, but you should not presume it, nor should you put your social life on hold waiting for her. Yes, there is a risk that she will find someone else (so might you). We recommend you limit this to a light and easy friendship, periodically texting and keeping in touch via Facebook. If she wants more, she will let you know.

She’s back. Paula Abdul hosts the new talent showcase “Live to Dance” (7 p.m., CBS). Viewers can root for their favorite unknowns and gasp at some untalented wannabes as dancers work their way toward the grand prize of $500,000. The series also offers Abdul a chance to show that she’s more than the goofy, positive and occasionally addled judge she played on “American Idol. For CBS, ”Live“ is also a direct challenge to its network competition — ABC’s ”Dancing with the Star“ and Fox’s ”American Idol.“ For several years now, those are among the few network shows to challenge the ratings dominance of CBS’s scripted series. Should the Eye Network add ”Live“ to its list of top-10 shows, expect much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the executive suites of Fox, ABC and NBC. ● The success of cheaply made talent series has made it harder for networks to commit to complex dramas that have a little harder time finding an audience. That was made readily apparent when NBC dumped the superior cop drama ”Southland“ after one season. Happily, the drama found a new home on TNT, where ”Southland“ (9 p.m., TNT) enters its third season tonight. ● Anna keeps Ryan on ice so she can conduct tests on his hybrid baby on the second-season premiere of ”V“ (7 p.m., ABC). A serious and expensive-looking adaptation of a cult 1980s series, this new ”V“ lacks most of the goofy appeal of the original. ● TCM kicks off a month-long salute to producer Hal Roach with a 24-hour marathon of ”Our Gang“ comedies running from 7 p.m. tonight through 7 p.m., Wednesday. Also known as ”The Little Rascals,“ these shorts were a staple of children’s morning programming for decades. Over the course of the month, TCM will devote Tuesdays to Roach’s films and shorts, featuring Laurel and Hardy, his early TV films and his feature comedies, including the ”Topper“ franchise. ● TV-themed DVDs available today include ”Life Unexpected: The Complete First Season.“

Tonight’s other highlights ● A wronged Roman (Russell Crowe) unleashes Hades on his foes in director Ridley Scott’s 2000 epic ”Gladiator“ (5 p.m., TNT). ● Two new trainers join the team on ”The Biggest Loser“ (7 p.m., NBC). ● Budget cuts loom on ”Glee“ (7 p.m., Fox). ● New friends may harbor dark secrets on ”No Ordinary Family“ (7 p.m., ABC). ● A career herpetologist gets a little too close to his work on ”Dangerous Encounters with Brady Barr“ (8 p.m., National Geographic Wild). New to its network. ● A grandfather’s meddling complicates a kidnapping case on ”NCIS“ (9 p.m., CBS). ● Crosby can’t teach his Jabbar to clean his room on ”Parenthood“ (9 p.m., NBC). ● The hunt for a movie star’s murderer on ”Detroit 1-8-7“ (9 p.m., ABC). ● The ”Independent Lens“ (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) documentary ”Men Who Swim“ follows a band of Swedish men who combat midlife malaise with amateur synchronized swimming competitions.

VERTICALLY CHALLENGED by Anna Maine

Dear Iowa: Anna sounds mentally unstable. Without appropriate treatment, we can guarantee her hot-andcold attitude will continue. If you think you can convince her to get help, it might be worth retaining the friendship, but otherwise, you are smart to let this one go.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, Jan. 4: This year, when you have hit smooth sailing, other events force you to restructure another segment of your life. In some ways, your perspective is myopic, and you cannot see the big picture or the ramifications. If you are single, your charisma sings to many. If you are attached, the two of you might go through some changes. You could be unusually me-oriented. Capricorn could be difficult at best. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Follow your intuition. Nothing too bad can happen, as you are wearing a cosmic lucky rabbit's foot wherever you go. Tonight: Be ready to say that you need to cancel plans. Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Slow down and take another look, even if you're revving to go. One friend who is close to you acts quite shocked and stunned. Tonight: Be willing to change your plans. Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Deal with others directly. You might

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Defer to others, especially as no matter what you do, it could go wrong. Don't be responsible for what starts today. Tonight: The only answer is "yes." Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Stay focused on and honor your priorities. You will be a lot happier that way. Examine alternatives presented by key people. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Allow problems to be the key to new perspectives. Gain an understanding of what really might be going on behind the scenes. Tonight: You might be more upbeat than many.

If you don't, what might be only a bump in the road could evolve into a major hill. You don't want that, do you? Tonight: Fun doesn't necessarily have to cost. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ The spotlight is on you. A Solar Eclipse in your sign signals strong changes ahead. Don't consider change to be anything but beneficial. Tonight: Be unavailable to a boss ... just for now! Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Sometimes you need to pull away from everyone. Everyone, especially you, needs private time. Tonight: Continue the vanishing act. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ You might be disappointed with what is going on, and frustrated as well. The immediate set of events is not the final story. Tonight: Having fun. — The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

NEW BIBLE Jumble Books Go To: http://www.tyndale.com/jumble/

Dear Annie: I am a 20-yearold college sophomore. The summer before my senior year of high school, I took a trip to Europe with a religious youth group. From the moment we boarded the plane, “Rachel” and I shared a connection. By the second day, we were inseparable. After the trip, we stayed in touch. A year later, the youth group held a reunion, and I got to see Rachel again. That December, she came to my school’s postseason football game, and we both finally said “I love you.” I spent last summer in her hometown, attending classes at a local university and working part time. The summer could not have been better, but Rachel and I both decided to step back and go our separate ways since she wanted the full “college experience” for her freshman year. But now I want to find ways for us to be together. I feel that this isn’t over — it can’t be. I have no doubt that we are in love. We are perfect for each other in our values, aspirations and everything in between. I will give her whatever time and freedom she needs. All I want to know is whether I am right to believe the love we share is too special to die. Do I have to let her go and move on forever, or should I try to get back together when the time is right? — Confused and In Love

BIG 12 FOOTBALL

MU’s Gabbert will turn pro COLUMBIA , M O. (AP) — Missouri junior quarterback Blaine Gabbert has elected to make himself available for the NFL Draft. Gabbert has started the past two years and is coming off a standout performance in the Insight Bowl, when he was 41-of-57 for 434 yards and a touchdown in a loss to Iowa. “This is definitely a bittersweet day for me,” Gabbert said in a statement Monday. “I was really looking forward to having a chance to do some

special things next season with my teammates, but in the end, this is the right decision to make for myself and my family. “These last three years have been an unbelievable experience for me, and I’ll miss being at Mizzou, but I’m definitely looking forward to this next stage of my life. “ Various early draft predictions have rated Gabbert as a first-round pick and the second-best at his position behind Andrew Luck of Stanford.

Stanford drubs Va. Tech M I A M I ( AP ) — John Elway flashed his familiar grin, and Jim Harbaugh gave a jubilant shout from the sideline as Andrew Luck sprinted up the field to join a celebration in the end zone. Nearly a quarter remained in the Orange Bowl, but the Stanford Cardinal were on the way to their first bowl victory in 14 years. And it was a blowout. Luck, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, threw for 287 yards and four touchdowns Monday night to lead fifthranked Stanford past No. 12 Virginia Tech, 40-12. “I’m extremely excited,” Luck said. “Couldn’t be happier for the Stanford community.” The Cardinal (12-1) likely will end the season ranked in the top 5 for the first time since the unbeaten 1940 team finished No. 2. Their success comes only four years after they went 1-11 and hired Harbaugh as coach to lead a turnaround.
