Deep Thinkers - The Necks Move
Attempting to follow the success of label-mate Approach's Funk Reaction must be a daunting prospect. Confounding expectations and pushing the envelope are positions Kansas City's Deep Thinkers will have to get used to when its debut drops Nov. 14 on Lawrence-based Datura Records. The Necks Move album is the result of countless hours spent in the studio for Kyle "Leonarddstroy" Dykes and Aaron "Brother of Moses" Sutton. The effort is not wasted. Featuring cameos from Miles Bonny and Joe Good of Sounds Good, Mac Lethal, beat broker, Commute and Approach, the track list reads like a who's-who of the local hip-hop scene, but the focus is strictly on the duo of Dykes and Sutton. They do not disappoint.
Beginning with the opener "Building," the group shows and proves that its priority lies in providing deep lyrical content over even deeper beats. Dykes' soundscapes employ myriad sounds and influences, while Sutton possesses one of those rare voices that is instantly recognizable and unique. Addressing issues ranging from the sorry state of mainstream music to wrongheaded characterizations of the Midwest, Sutton's flow feels like freestyle, but sounds as if every word were wrenched from his pen. In "Bottled Slaughter," he offers this view of contemporary life: "What a combination in this wonderful nation/ Where the rich go on vacation and the poor on probation/ Parole the prison/ Dirty deck they playin' with/ So they can keep the division/ We found a bridge to cross the gap with our rhythms/ So listen." Whether or not you share his outlook, this level of awareness is sorely lacking in many artists' work.
While not every song is as political as "Bottled Slaughter," none are just filler. The Necks Move ups the ante for all future local releases and shows a local label at the top of its game.

Whichever, this album is definitely a little darker than the previous. The beats seem deeper and slower.

Death Cab for Cutie can make you love indie rock again. I'll admit, I quit listening to most indie rock years ago (with some exceptions), but after listening to this album, I wonder why I ever dropped it like a bad habit. Death Cab's fourth full-length album, Transatlanticism, is full of catchy, reminiscent lyrics. By the second listen, you'll be singing along and rocking out. With the February release of Give Up from lead-singer Ben Gibbard's side-project, The Postal Service, critics wondered if Gibbard could possibly put out two high-quality albums in one year. Now, both albums are being hailed as two of the best releases of the year. Buy this album. Listen, listen, listen.

LFO - Sheath
First, to clear up any misconceptions, this is NOT the LFO of "Summer Girls" fame. The LFO in question is a duo that helped pioneer the "bleep" sound — a minimal, bass-heavy house variant — in the early 1990s. Mark Bell, one half of the original duo and frequent Björk collaborator, is the man behind Sheath. Most of the material is quirky IDM, intelligent dance music, sound experimentation, but there are a few more upfront dance tracks. "Freak" is quite easily the dance single of 2003 and is already taking off overseas. Almost every track on Sheath is good in its own right, however, and Bell's synthwork and production serve as a refreshing update to the bleep style.

Glee club members found abusing antidepressants
Although the season hasn't even really began, scandal has already rocked the University of Kansas music department.
"It's good to see this come to an end," an anonymous source said. "Their giddiness rivaled the KU Dance Squad. It was downright annoying."
Half the mens' glee club have recently failed their random NCAA drug screening. Among the banned drugs found in their systems are Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft and Celexa. These so called antidepressants, or "happy pills," are said to give an unfair competitive edge to the club.
In response to the allegations of its students using rampant grin enhancers, the music department released the following statement.
It has been rumored that glee club members would go on drug binges in which they would stay happy for days on end.
"It is an incredibly sad day when a thing like this happens to a music program of this caliber. Under the constant pressure to compete well many glee members crack. We do not feel alone in this problem, and hope that this signifies the beginning of a significant crackdown on illegal drug use in collegiate choirs everywhere."

'Pop' versus 'Soda'debate ends in bloodshed
The ongoing debate of pop versus soda ended in bloodshed yesterday at Jayhawker Towers.
Police reports say that Jason Caliri, Baltimore sophomore, used a plastic spork from Taco Bell to stab his roommate, Jimmy Cummings, Goodland junior, during a heated argument over what to call a soft drink.
"They were going back and forth for about an hour," said suitemate Jeff Simon, Nashville junior. "I heard Jimmy saying 'You're in Kansas, it's called pop here.' Then Jay just started dropping a bunch of F-bombs. Next thing I know, Jimmy stumbled into my room holding his side. He was yelling 'He stabbed me! He stabbed me!' Blood was everywhere."
Friends of the two roommates said there had been tension over the issue since they moved in together in August.
Chris Sweeney, a Dallas junior who lives down the hall, said the first time he met the two they were bickering near a Coke machine.
"They were looking for a vending machine and I pointed them down the hall," he said. "I heard Jay say 'There's the soda machine.' Then Jimmy yelled at him because he said soda. Personally, I call everything Coke. I think they're both wrong."
University psychologist Matt Bonanno said that although it was common for roommates to bicker, it was the first time he knew of an argument over soft drink-vernacular ending in violence.
"I think they are both idiots," he said. "I mean, come on, who stabs someone over a stupid Pepsi?"

When Ashley Billingsworth enrolled in MUSC 136: Masterworks of Music, she had no idea what a grasp she already had on the curriculum. Simply by using her primary means of communication, the St. Louis freshman studies several times a day, every day.
With a graceful flourish to end the movement,

up so quick." The notes identified were those of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Ashley's excitement was noticed by music teacher, Augusto Batistuta.
The student-teacher gap having been spanned, video on pause, Billingsworth gave an impromptu recital of her phone's entire ringtone bank, including Rachmaninoff's "Etude," Mozart's "Fur Elise," and 'N Sync's "I Want You Back."
"My parents first got me a cell phone in tenth grade, and my ring was sooo boring," said Billingsworth. "It was just like 'de-do-de-do-de.' I would usually just mute it so I didn't have to hear the stupid old thing."
"It is so sweet to see the young students enjoying the music," Batistuta said. "I say to Ashley right here and now, 'You are earning an A-plus if you make music for me!'"
"I heard that tune and turned to my friend Phylllicia right away and said 'That's my ring!' She was floored that I picked it
Early this semester, Ashley's music class screened "Immortal Beloved," the 1994 film about the life of composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
Then a friend told Ashley about the "ringtone" menu on her Nokia phone. "That blew my mind," the 18-year-old recalls now. "I was hearing all of these amazing new sounds, like 'do-do-de-do-de-do,' and even 'do-do-do-dooo.' Of course that's the one getting all the attention now."
The student's passion spread like wildfire throughout the faculty, and now there is a new course offering for Spring 2004 - "Cellular Phone Music Theory and Composition."
"I think it's about time that mobile phones got recognized for their educational importance," said David Muir, manager of the T-Mobile store in the Kansas Union. "I mean, they have calculators, coordination building games like Snake, and even classical music. If you ask me, this new Ericsson is the best educational tool you can find—and it's all only 99 dollars with a two-year contract."

The decision by the Jayhawk Book Store to recall sponsorship of the Women of KU Calendar for 2004 has some students confused about its new stance on propriety.
Jayhawk Bookstore policy confuses calendar fanatics
Last October, JBS sold the "Girls of the Big 12" issue of Playboy which contained full and partial nudity of KU student models. In addition, JBS had a signing day on which the Playboy models put their Herbie Hancocks on copies in front of the store.
"Last year I bought my copy of Playboy at the book store and had the girls sign their pictures," said Matt Davis, Topeka senior. "It was quite thrilling shaking hands with the girl with the pierced hoo-hoo as she signed her naked thigh."
This year, however, students like Davis will not be able to purchase the Women of KU calendar even though there is no nudity. The Jayhawk Bookstore was not contacted for comment, and all attempts to get in touch with the girl with the pierced hoo-hoo were to no avail. And we mean all attempts. In support of the decision, Z's expresso will no longer offer Naked Juice products.

Union garage free on weekends
Some students who park in the Kansas Union's parking garage have been paying for nothing.
It costs one dollar an hour, 24 hours a day, to park in the garage. But while signs in the garage may warn students that they'll be kicked if they park without paving, the signs can be misleading.
paying, the signi
Donna Hultine, director of the parking department, said that since she became director in January, no one has checked the garage for unpaid parking on weekends or after midnight on weekdays.
She said that people chose to park and pay in the garage to feel safe from tickets or towking. Safety, however, is what Pat Beard, building services director for the KU Unions, is worried about.
Since Sept. 16, Beard has sent three requests to the Parking Commission in regards to the Union's garage, one of which directly asked the commission to publicly announce that parking is free on weekends.
He said the Unions would like to be able to offer safe, free parking to its patrons
"We're the student union, and our mission is to the students," he said.
Beard said that many students sought other parking lots that might not be as well-lit, but were free.
"Students who don't have a dollar an hour to spend go park in more remote areas," he said.
Because the parking department sells more permits for scholarship hall parking than it has spots, Schumacher said that it was often hard to get a space at night, forcing residents to park several blocks away.
Allen Ford, chairman of the Parking Commission, said that student safety was a big concern, but the issue was complicated.
Ford said that at next week's meeting, the Parking Commission would probably have to make a decision about whether to let students park at the Union garage for free at nights and weekends.
Right now, the Parking Commission uses parking fees to help pay for the construction of the Union's garage.
Ford said that the Parking Commission is considering offering 50 spots in the garage to the residents of the new scholarship hall that the University will build on Ohio Street, and possibly 50 more if another one is built.
"We need to do it anyway," he said. "Sometimes it's just easier to defer than to decide."
Ford said the money that it collected on the weekends from the garage was substantial — possibly as much as $15,000 to $20,000 per year, though no one is sure of the exact amount.
Ford said that in a few years, after the garage has been paid for, the extra money from the Union garage on the weekends might cause parking permit costs to go down, or at least keep them from going up.
The next Parking Commission meeting is Tuesday.
The new scholarship halls present another issue.
"If it was something small like $2,000 a year, it would be a no-brainer," he said. "You'd make it free."
Randy Schumacher, Topeka senior and Pearson Scholarship Hall resident, said that he would welcome more parking for the scholarship halls.

Peer educator Ty Green spoke to students in the thematic learning communities program Wednesday afternoon about organizing study groups. One of the benefits of the TLC program is living on the same floor with people in some of your classes.
Harness learned about the program from his mom, who suggested he try out the new University of Kansas program, he said.
Knowing he was a part of a thematic learning community made the weeks leading up to his 316-mile trek to college a little easier for Landon Harness.
"I agreed because I thought it would be a good way to meet people I wouldn't have met otherwise," the Garden City freshman said.
Thematic learning communities at the University have been in the works for a while, but this semester is the first when groups of about 20 freshmen live together and take three classes together. Men and women are in separate wings on the floors.
"It released some nervousness," Harness said. "Knowing I would meet 20 people right off and have classes with them."
Harness' TLC is on the sixth floor of Oliver Hall. It's the "Majors and Meaning" group, which was designed for undecided students and has about 15 members.
The students then applied for the program and no one was turned away. Dixon said. There are 127 freshmen participating this semester.
members. Linda Dixon, interim coordinator for the thematic learning communities, said she sent out information about the TLCs with student housing information last year.
The TLCs were modeled after a similar program at the University of Missouri. Dixon said some schools in the Midwest have had TLCs or similar programs for more than 10 years.
"It's really catching on all over the nation." Dixon said.
Five residence halls have TLCs this semester — Oliver, Elsworth, Hashinger, McCollum and Lewis halls. All the
students take general liberal arts classes and the TLC seminar. Depending on students' interests, they were assigned to a TLC with a focus in anything from history to biology.
Dixon said getting all the students together on the same floor and in all the same classes took a lot of coordinating with the registrar and student housing department.
"Amazingly, it worked out," Dixon said. "They were great to work with."
Even though Harness has narrowed his major search to education, all three of those classes fulfill a requirement for him. He is also taking composition and algebra, two classics of the freshman class load.
Harness' group takes "Earthquakes and Natural Disasters," "Elements of Sociology" and the seminar together, which totals seven credit hours. Harness said the classes were pretty easy.
Erica Becker, Deerfield, Ill., freshman, compared the seminar to "Pre 101 Orientation Seminar," an acclimation class for first-year students. The seminar meets

once a week and earns the students one credit hour. Students can discuss the classes they have together, which Becker said was helpful.
tor attended the seminar
Harness and Becker's faculty facilitator is Lynn Mosteller, assistant director of the Freshman/Sophomore Advising Center. Her job is to keep the lines of communication open between the students and their teachers.
The students do have assignments in the seminar. Becker said they kept journals for credit, meant to keep updates on their lives both socially and academically.
Mosteller will also lead her students in a study session next week, Becker said, because they have midterms coming up

The article, "Despite outcry, University could not save Japanese-American students from camps," used letters from former Chancellor Deane Malott's correspondence file, at the University Archives in the Spencer Research Library, as sources.

WICHITA—The attorney general's office is expanding a five-month effort to track missing parolees and dangerous fugitives.
State AG's office to increase pursuit of missing parolees
Tom Williams, special agent in charge of investigations for the attorney general's office, said the focus will be on gathering and sharing information between law enforcement and the public in tracking parole absconders and unregistered sex offenders.
Two more meetings are scheduled with members of police and sheriff's departments, crime victim organizations and others involved in criminal
justice. The attorney general's office hopes the task force will lead to strengthening parole laws.
Big Tent Coalition requests more critical services funding
TOPEKA — Advocates for the disabled asked yesterday for $66.9 million to remove people from waiting lists for critical services and to keep them out of nursing homes.
Shannon Jones, spokeswoman for the Big Tent Coalition, said the request sent to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius would ensure enough money for essential services for Kansans with developmental and physical disabilities.
The coalition represents 85 organizations providing services to about 646,000 people. The coalition surfaced during the 2003 legislative session in an effort to pressure policy-makers into putting more funding in services.
Nation Robinson pleads guilty to five more killings in trial
HARRISONVILLE, Mo. — A man already convicted of killing three women in Kansas pleaded guilty yesterday to five more murders in Missouri, where some of the victims' bodies were found in barrels in a rented storage locker.
in barricks inennessee Srs, John E. Robinson Sr., of Olathe, avoided trial and a possible death sentence in Missouri by admitting that he killed two women and a girl whose bodies were found in the Raymore storage locker, and two other women whose bodies have never been found. Under the agreement, Robinson will serve five life sentences.
Robinson, 59, has already been sentenced to death in Kansas for two of the three murders of which a Johnson County jury convicted him in October 2002. He was sentenced to life in prison for the third killing.

Question of the day
There's a hold on my enrollment. What do I do? That depends on your hold, actually. Most holds result from unpaid fines, such as parking tickets or library overdue charges. The way to clear fines is by paying off the right department. Some schools will place a hold on enrollment until you receive advising or some other kind of approval, in which case you'll just have to go through that process first.

Graduates battle challenges in teaching program

Kansan staff writer
The walls are not the only thing missing in one Baltimore elementary school.
Funding, qualified staff and textbooks are all needs of the school. But for Paige Isaacson, the walls are more of a concern. The 1970s-era wall-less school concept has given Isaacson many headaches.

Isaacson, 2003 graduate and KU alumnus, is teaching third grade in inner-city Baltimore. It took one day and her favorite
student to realize she was at a loss.

Isaacson is participating in Teach for America, a program that places college graduates in economically disadvantaged
school districts. Next week is the early deadline for application The other deadline is in April.
Ben Burton, also a 2003 KU graduate, is teaching sixth grade social studies at a middle school in the Bronx, New York, as part of Teach for America. Burton and Isaacson both said some days aren't so good.
"I usually come home very frustrated," said Burton. "And it never ends. I just keep thinking, 'I don't want to quit or get discouraged before I can say, 'I know what I'm doing.'"

But Isaacson believes it's not the children's fault.
"They have no structure at home," he said.
Although Burton said he's determined to help them, some days are complete disasters.
"I can never keep them quiet?" Burton said. "There are days where literally nothing has happened except they're running around like maniacs."

that are white," said Isaacson. "But I haven't had any problems. Sometimes I wonder how I'm perceived by the parents of my students because most of them are my age or a little older."
Isaacson said teaching in tough neighborhood can be a challenge. But it's a challenge that she said was worth it.
"When people ask me where I teach, I tell them and they say, 'Oh, that's a bad neighborhood,' Isaacson said, "And I say, 'Yeah, that's why I'm there.'"

California spectacle shows political hypocrisy; system will need overhaul to keep parties in line
Politics and hypocrisy seem to go together.
Though the California recall election is done, with "the Terminator" emerging on top, something has to be said. The election itself showed the hypocrisy of the political process like few political events in recent memory.
COMMENTARY
C
The Republican and Democratic parties are based upon different political philosophies. The Democratic foundation generally seeks to have more government under the control of the people directly. The traditional conservative generally seeks the original intent or underlying philosophy of the framers of the republic, which was to have very limited public control of government. The reasoning is that you don't want a government responsive to public whim, but to public interest.
A glance at the U.S. Constitution reveals this idea.The president is not
Matt Dunavan opinion@kansan.com
The California recall was an enormous step toward being immediately responsive to the people's whims. The
That's not to say the Democratic Party doesn't pull the same stunts. During the Gore/Bush election fiasco of 2000, both parties constantly changed positions in the race for the state of Florida's ballots.
Of course, this didn't happen. The recall effort was spearheaded by Republicans, citing, ironically, the Democratic notion of being responsive to the people more directly. When I pointed this out to one of my friends, he acknowledged the hypocrisy but said the important thing was simply that California now had a big 'R' next to it.
When ballots came in after the deadline, the Democratic Party, which should have been calling for public responsiveness, called for strict rule-of-law and the discarding of those ballots, which incidentally came from overseas military personnel who voted for Bush.
Republican Party of California should have been first in the vanguard to defend the idea that the traditional system should be kept in place, waiting until the end of the term of Gov. Davis and then simply not re-electing him. After all, government by the mob is not too far off from tyranny.
Many say Arnold couldn't be any worse than Davis. True or not, sacrificing your moral position for political gain is pretty despicable.
We all should admit that politics are messy. They involve compromise between people of differing religions, ethical systems, views of what is the good for the public and political philosophies
When politicians themselves cease to concretely have any of those things and view elections as games to win or lose, perhaps it's time to rethink the enterprise and demand a change.
Dunavan is a Topeka senior in political science and philosophy.
letters to the editor
Patriot Act column contained several errors; here are facts
I share Ali Cullerton's deep fear of the ironically named Patriot Act.
This law allows secret break-ins and email tracking, secret searches without probable cause or independent warrant and secret snooping in your credit card, library, medical and bank records. You can't challenge it or even find out about it, and it is illegal to tell you it happened. These procedures are now mainly being used in cases unrelated to terrorism.
However, it is important that the case against that act be made honestly and accurately, and Cullerton's Oct.13 commentary contains several errors.
1. The new definition of domestic terrorism is indeed frighteningly broad, but not as broad as Cullerton said. Basically, you have to support some group that illegally risks human injury while pursuing political goals. Operation Abolition, Greenpeace and the FBI are historic examples, not Amnesty International. (In practice, prosecution will be selective.)
2. Some thousands of people were indeed secretly arrested after Sept. 11 and held for prolonged periods under brutal conditions with no charges filed and no access to a lawyer or judge, yet
none have been charged with terrorism.
Most of their names remain secret. (Much of this was documented in a June 2 report by the Department of Justice itself.) However, this was not authorized by the Patriot Act, but ordered unlawfully by Attorney General John Ashcroft. It would be authorized under Ashcroft's proposed Son of Patriot Act.
3. You cannot (yet) be stripped of your citizenship for civil disobedience, though the Son of Patriot Act proposes that penalty for domestic terrorism.

Fictional Patriot Act column could have used fact-checking
The recent editorial "Patriot Act disregards Constitution" that ran on Oct. 13 was more full of fiction than fact. The Patriot Act is not the boogy man (Kansan columnist) Ali Cullerton or the National Lawyers Guild is making it out to be. The government cannot search your house or office without a
warrant. It cannot monitor your e-mail without a court order.
A quick read of www.usdoj.gov/usao/mie/ctu/FAQ_Patriot.htm will show just how off-base the claims were. The claim that "...agents can break into your homes and offices without a warrant. Agents can also wirepat our phones without court orders." is specifically refuted:
"Q: Does the USA PATRIOT Act eliminate judicial oversight of federal law enforcement activities?
A: No. ...federal agents still must obtain a wiretap order from a court based on a detailed affidavit setting forth probable cause before they can install a wiretap. Agents still must obtain a search warrant from a court based on a showing of probable cause before they can search a residence. ...Courts retain the power to suppress evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution."
This Web site will go a long ways toward ending a lot of the confusion people have about the Patriot Act.

This has been a bad couple of weeks for University of Kansas' retired faculty and staff.
First, we learned that our health insurance premiums would increase by $61 per month next year, from $255 to $316. Unlike many other states, Kansas provides no subsidy for health insurance premiums for its retirees. Then we discovered that in the new KU telephone directory we are no longer listed in the main register of faculty and staff, but have been marginalized in a separate section at the end of the primary listing, where we will remain virtually unfindable. This was done without consultation with the very active Endcott Society of retirees, which certainly would have been happy to check with its members on their preference on this matter.
Retired faculty receive University cold shoulder
As I have said to friends in the past, if the University wants to be permanently rid of its retirees, let it keep Dr. Kevorkian on retainer!

Student's love of hospitality leads toward dream job
By Zack Hemenway
zhenmenway@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Every face in the crowd and every name in the phone book has a story behind it. Every week, Kansan staff writer Zack Hemenway tells the story of a randomly selected KU student.
A hotel lobby usually consists of a front desk, a few couches and potted plants. But when Brian Jordan walks in, he sees much more.
"There are all these these people who are there to open their arms and say, 'Is there anything I can do for you?'" he said. "I've loved the hotel environment since I was a little kid."
Jordan, St. Louis senior, has gravitated toward his childhood love. He has worked in hotels since seventh grade, holding a variety of jobs. Jordan said his job diversity was a key step in pursuit of his goal, to own or manage an entire hotel.
"I have to learn every aspect that I can of the hotel industry," he said.
Brian Jordan, St. Louis senior, cleaned up banquet tables last night. As a manager of the Holiday Inn banquet hall, he said he loved the fast pace the job sometimes requires. "They call me squirrel because I walk fast wherever I go," Jordan said.
Jordan works as a banquet manager at the Holiday Inn. 200
McDonald Drive. He is one of four managers in charge of planning projects in the hotel's banquet hall, working with customers on wedding receptions and other events.
Jordan said working with customers on these events was the most fulfilling part of his job.
"If I can make that day perfect for them, there's nothing better than that," he said.
Customer service is almost a mantra for Jordan, who said he tried to help make sure each hotel guest leaves satisfied.
Jordan inherited this attention to others' happiness from his father, who works as director of customer service for the Union Pacific Railroad in St. Louis.
Pacific Railroad is not here. "I get a lot of my work ethic from him," he said. "He taught me to never stop working on the concerns of customers."
The transient nature of hotel visitors makes it hard to establish individual relationships, but Jordan said he tried to make each guest feel unique and important.
"Sincerity is the most important thing in my business," he said. "If you're not being sincere, you're basically lying."
Despite this idealistic nature, Jordan has time for fun once he's off the clock. He said the late hours and constant business led to stress-releasing post-work activities with his friends and co-workers.
workers.
"If you're in the hotel business,
you either drink, or you drink a lot."
he said with a laugh.
Jordan sometimes daydreams of another career. He plays guitar and is the lead singer for his band, Full Tilt.
Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan
Jordan said that singing with his band gave him a feeling he couldn't get helping a customer.
"There is no better rush than to be up on stage," he said. "You feel the music yourself and see other people feeling the same thing. The whole world closes off."
Jordan began playing guitar about the same time he started working at hotels, and he speaks passionately about both his music and his job. He begins nearly every sentence with "Oh, god," searching for the proper words to convey his enthusiasm.
"Oh, god," he said, trying to decide what his favorite part of
his job was. "That's a tough question."
When he graduates in May, Jordan will look for a full-time job catering to guests' needs in a hotel or on a cruise ship. But he said
that someday,he'd like to get some of that treatment for himself.
"My dream is to own a hotel somewhere like Cabo San Lucas," Jordan said. "At
the end of my day. I can go out on the beach, pop open a Corona and watch the sun set."

Green doesn't tarn a salary for the program, but the University does cover his housing expenses. He heard about the opportunity through his academic advisor and jumped at the opportunity to guide freshmen through their first year at the University.
"I benefited from FSI, so it's something I was familiar with," Green said.
He said being in Oliver made the experience even better.
"We're a tight-knit family." Green said.
He explained that because Oliver was isolated from the residence halls on Daisy Hill, students were forced to build relationships with each other.
"We've been fortunate," Green said. "We've got good students not only in our TLC, but in the whole hall."
Besides attending the seminar, Green lives with the students so he can immediately field any questions they have and connect them with the activities or offices they need.

Green said it was most important to leave the freshmen with a sense of community away from
home.
"This is a special time and a special situation," Green said. "We all take part in the community."
As with any first-year program, the TLCs need to work out a few kinks.
Harness said because his TLC classes were assigned for him, he had some trouble scheduling his other classes.
"I wanted to take biology." Harness said. "But I couldn't because the only open section was during the sociology class."
He also had complaints about how engaging his classes were.
Harness advised future students to get a list of classes and times before they commit to the program, so they can work out scheduling conflicts ahead of time.
together seems reminiscent of some sort of academic summer camp, and Harness said he could tell some of the students were ready for a break from each other.
Living together, studying together and going to class
Becker's situation is a little different. She started the year out in Oliver with the rest of her TLC, but moved to McCollum because of a personal conflict. She still attends classes with the group, but misses out on the community feeling, she said.
Dixon said she was thinking about making the TLCs non-residential next year, meaning classes would still be the same, but students could live anywhere they wanted, even off campus.
Becker said she understood why that might be a more attractive option, but she thought it defeated the whole point of the program.
"I can't just walk down the hall
and ask someone for help with something." Becker said.
something, like the floor she moved onto in McCollum is home to another TLC group, but changing her entire schedule after the semester had already started would have been a hassle, Becker said.
Green said the biggest problem he noticed was adjusting to the time management necessary to succeed in college. He said some students had overloaded their schedules. Green said there haven't been any problems adjusting to the social life.
This semester's students have the option of continuing their TLCs, but without the seminar next semester.

Harness said the group had to make that decision the same way they do everything else — together

Women's basketball to improve
While the men's basketball team has enjoyed success for the past few years, the women's team has struggled of late, coming off multiple losing seasons.
coming on multiple times This year, just two years removed from an 0-16 record in Big 12 Conference play. the women are ready to make a move in a tough conference thanks to talent and position depth.
It all starts at point guard, where the super-talented Erica Hallman and Leila Menguc will compete for the starting job. Menguc is the leader and an excellent shooter, while Hallman possesses dazzling ballhandling and passing skills. Hallman, named Ms. Kentucky basketball in high school, has a good outside shot and showed glimpses of her potential at times as a freshman last year. She led the team in assists for the year and scored 17 points at Oklahoma State. Both players are coming off injuries but are 100 percent right now.
At shooting guard, Aquanita Burras is a slasher, scorer and tough defender.

be successful.
"Blair is a much stronger player this year," coach Marian Washington said. "She is in better shape and I think she if she stays healthy she will be a big help to us."

sweet tuna marinade Michelle Roberts adds solid depth to the front line, backing up both Kemp and Ransburg.
While the team returns every starter from last year, it is the added depth the newcomers bring that makes this team most impressive.
Lauren Ervin was a McDonald's All-American in high school, and she brings great versatility to the team. At 6-foot-4, Ervin is a tough matchup, especially when she can move out on the perimeter. She showed great rebounding potential in all four games. Right now, she looks like she will play the power forward position, but eventually she may shift to small forward
Sharita Smith is recovering from an injury, but she was one of the top guards in high school. Smith can score in bunches and adds quickness and athleticism to the team. The sooner she can recover, the better the layhawks will be with guard depth and scoring ability.
with guard depth and scoring three junior college transfers should help out the team this year. Kaylee Brown is quick and adds great three point shooting, while Kandice Brown provides size and power in the paint. Larisha Graves should help at the point guard position.
Last year's team struggled at times without a single senior, but showed flashes of talent. They averaged fewer than 54 points per loss last season. This year's team is bigger, has better depth and is much more athletic. They will be able to put up a lot of points, while still playing the lockdown defense that Marian Washington covets.
It's amazing what two years change can bring to a team. This year's bunch looks much improved and has the full support of the Athletics Department. Lew Perkins helped the development of the UConn women's program, which now has four national championships, and should have a similar effect here. If they start to win, people will show up at the games and could witness something truly special.
Look for these 'Hawks to shock some people and finish in the top half of the Big 12 and make the NCAA tournament. And we all know that in March Madness, baby, it's anybody's game.

For a team coming off a 50-47 loss at Colorado, there may be no better cure for the blues than a homecoming meeting with Baylor.
with Baylor.
The Kansas football team is looking to rebound after last Saturday's road loss that ended a four-game winning streak. The Bears pulled off a 42-30 upset against Colorado two weeks ago, but were blasted by Texas A&M 73-10 last weekend.
Texas A&M's final four touchdowns against Baylor were from 40 or more yards out, an area where the Jayhawks have also been dangerous.
Six of Kansas' 27 touchdowns this season have been from 40 yards out or farther.
"They've given up some big plays," Whittimore said. "Even though it doesn't make me salivate, we're planning on making some big plays. We've had our share this year, and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon."
The prospects of Kansas having another huge offensive output are good, but the Jayhawk defense must improve on last weekend's performance. Along with penalties, coach Mark Mangino said missed tackles and poor fundamentals led to his team's defeat.
"You can't coach every fundamental everyday in practice," Mangino said.
"You can try but there are so many fundamentals and so many parts of this game need attention. We had some problems with the ball — so we made it a high priority in practice."
The defense's reaction to Saturday's loss was immediately evident on the practice field. After a day off Sunday, Mangino said Monday's practice, usually a semi-light workout, became a heated battle on the defensive side.
battle on the defensive side The defense was unleashed on the offensive scout team and a week of elevated practice tempo should equal a different defensive image tomorrow.
"I believe we should have won that Colorado game," junior safety Tony Stubbs said. "We just feel we let the offense down. It's going to be real intense come Saturday."
The revenge factor should give the Jayhawks an added incentive.
hawks an all-but defeat
Last season Kansas lost a fourth-quarter lead, falling to Baylor 35-32. The Baylor victory not only ended the program's 28-game conference losing streak, but the ensuing post-game pandemonium resembled the party in Lawrence after the Sept. 27 Missouri game. Baylor's tearing down the goalposts a year ago was motivation for some team members, just as it was three weeks ago against the Tigers.

"I didn't understand why they tore down the goalposts on us," Stubbs said. "I believe we owe them too, just like we

Lew Perkins' new dilemma as athleties director is deciding how to accommodate faculty and staff member seating at Kansas basketball games.
The issue is part of the priority seating plan set to go in to effect for the 2004-05 season.
season. "I want to make people happy," Perkins said. "But at the end of the day I know we're going to make some people uncomfortable with our decisions."
One of those decisions by Perkins and the Athletics Department is to give the Senate Executive Committee the responsibility of allocating faculty and staff tickets.
As part of the priority seating plan, season ticket holders with seats on the lower level of Allen Fieldhouse will be asked to donate money to the Williams
Fund for athletic scholarships to retain their seats. Faculty and staff members who have season tickets on the lower level will be asked to do the same, which has some angry.

"It itse what they're trying to tell us is that the only thing you can contribute is money," said Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism and University Council representative. "The contribution of the education of young men and women who we call student athletes is an enormous contribution."
While Perkins said there were other contributions that could be made such as longevity, he saw the proposed plan for faculty and staff to be a positive change.

Self's first 'Phog'
By Chris Wintering
cvintering@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Kansas fans will pack Allen Fieldhouse tonight for the premiere of "Late Night in the Phog," the University of Kansas' celebration of the start of basketball practices.
Admission is free, and doors open at 7 p.m. The men's and women's basketball teams will perform skits at about 10 p.m., and the men's team will hold a brief scrimmage at midnight.
The event marks coach Bill Self's first experience at Late Night as the team's coach.
The event placed ninth in Sports Illustrated on Campus' "100 Things You Gotta Do Before You Graduate." Langford said it ranked so high because of the deep tradition and history of the University.
"It's weird because I was a part of Roy's last one and Bill's first," said Kansas junior Keith Lankford.
"Many schools have tried it, but you can't top the original," Langford said.
"We thought Late Night would be the perfect time. Not only do we get to showcase the team to help tip off this basketball season, but it's also the only time a lot of those guys can make it back." Self said
This spring marks the 15th anniversary of the title.
To add to the tradition of the event, the 1988 men's basketball national championship team will be honored at the event.
"With all the great tradition and history of this program, the 1988 team accomplished what only one other team in KU history did—win an NCAA title," Self said. "I couldn't be more excited to have them come back and be recognized by KU and all our great fans.
Fans thumbling through the Oct. 13 edition of Sports Illustrated might have been surprised to see Kansas basketball's newest verbal commitments in the magazine. New York guard Russell Robinson appears in an ad for Starter.
Kansas Basketball Notes
The black and white ad, which appears on page 43 of the magazine, features Robinson decked out in Starter sweats with the slogan "Earn Your Spot."
with the slogan, "Zuri Kansas"
Don't worry Kansas fans; the ad does not jeopardize Robinson's eligibility.
According to NCAA, the rule is under bylaw 12.5.1.3, Continuation of Modeling and Other Nonathletically Related Promotional Activities after Enrollment.
The rule states that a player can endorse or model while not enrolled at the University. Once enrolled, the player can model if the modeling does not demonstrate the player's ability.
obstruct "It doesn't happen a lot because people don't think it can," said Kay Hawes, associate director of public relations for the NCAA. "It's a frequently misunderstood rule."

Volleyball returns to host Iowa State
against Iowa State. The team has won six in a row against the Cyclones (9-8, 4-4) and 11 of the last 12. Now the 'Hawks have the task of not overlooking their opponent.
By Mike Norris
mnorris@kansan.com
Kansan Sportswriter
After playing four out of five matches on the road, the Kansas volleyball team returns home tonight.
The layhawks host the Iowa State Cyclones at 7 p.m. in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Every fan that attends the match can turn in their ticket stub for a seat in section 16 or 17 in Allen Fieldhouse for "Late Night in the Phog."
Unlike some of their other Big 12 Conference opponents, the Jayhawks (12-7 overall, 4-4 Big 12), have had recent success.
Kansas is coming off a 3-2 loss at 22nd-ranked Texas A&M and will once again be without freshman outside hitter Jana Correa. She suffered an injury last week at Oklahoma, and there has been no update on her status.
"We don't go into any match thinking it's easy," senior Sarah Rome said. "We'll come out and play at our level, and hopefully we'll win."
With Corra out, sophomore
Josi Waina has stepped up her play
"Everyone's in the same boat." Rome said. "We just have to come fired up. It's a home game and we have to win, and that's what we're going to do."
After averaging 2.80 kills per contest in her first 14 matches, she has averaged 3.93 kills per game in her last five.
Rome said she was tired, but that it's part of playing Division I athletics.
She started the season still feeling a little pain from her off-season knee surgery and shin splints. But Lima said treatment has relieved the pain of her shins, something Jayhawk fans should be glad to hear.
"As time goes on I'm feeling better and better," she said. "I'm coming back like I was last year."
A victory would put the 'Hawks back above .500 in the Big 12, and pull them closer to .500 in the all-time series. Iowa State leads 32-29-1.
Lima said the long match against Texas A&M and the quick turnaround had worn her out. But Kansas coach Ray Bechard said he expected her and the rest of the team to be ready to play.
After the Jayhawks battle the Cyclones they will be able to rest until Wednesday, when the Texas Longhorns come to town. That match is scheduled for 7 p.m.

posal as a shield that would protect the Athletics Department by shifting blame onto the University Council and SenEx.
Perkins instituted a priority seating plan in the late-1980s during his tenure as athletics director at the University of Connecticut.
At Connecticut, Perkins also included faculty and staff groups in the process of deciding how to divide tickets. Perkins said the majority of those people were happy with the plan and priority seating was a successful program.
While Ray Davis, SenEx chairman, said the plan did not anger him, it represented a new era of business done by the Athletics

"If the University and the Athletics Department wants to compete in the Big 12 then there are definite consequences," Davis said.
SenEx has yet to give an answer to the Athletics Department on whether it will take responsibility for dividing up faculty and staff tickets. SenEx is debating whether it is the responsibility of the Council to move people from their seats.
Perkins said he would remain hopeful a decision would be reached soon so the Athletics Department could continue the planning necessary concerning priority seating.
Others,including Davis,view the entire issue as a negative aspect of collegiate athletics.
"I'm not angry about it," Davis said. "It just shows the corporatization of athletics and how there have been examples at universities around the country of it causing problems."

Greene picks Kansas, USC
Kansas vs. Baylor
The Jayhawks are more upset than anyone could ever imagine after last weekend's heartbreak in Colorado. Unfortunately, the Bears will have to play victim to a blowout for the second straight week.
Greene's Pick — Kansas
Greene's Pick — Michigan
I'm from Illinois, yet hate the Illini with a passion. I'm not ready to pick them just yet for anything.
USC vs. Notre Dame
Notre Dame's victory against Pittsburgh last weekend was a fluke, and there is no way it'll rack up yardage on the ground against one of the nation's top defenses. USC will crush the Fighting Irish vet again.
Missouri may have upset Nebraska, but Oklahoma is in a completely different league compared to the rest of the Big 12 Conference. Missouri is in for quite a spanking.
Greene's Pick-USC
Missouri vs. Oklahoma
Greene's Pick — Oklahoma
sports commentary
Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com
Michigan State vs. Minnesota
As big as a Michigan fan as I am, I felt bad for the Gophers after the Wolverines took it to them in the fourth quarter last week. I hope they rebound, because Michigan State is evil, plain and simple.
Iowa vs. Ohio State
Greene's Pick — Minnesota
Yes, Ohio State finally lost. Now, the Buckeyes can lose another game they're supposed to win. This time it'll be at home.
It's so fun to watch the Wildcats limp around like baby kittens. Colorado's offense is the real deal, and will torture the Big 12's worst pass defense. Go Buffs.
Colorado vs. Kansas State
Greene's Pick Iowa
Purdue vs. Wisconsin
Greene's Pick — Colorado
This game is such a toss-up, I actually flipped a coin.
Greene's Pick Wisconsin
I'll pick a pissed-off Nebraska team at home any day. It's hard to say A&M will score 73 points again this week last week against Baylor. A&M just can't do it on the road this year.
Texas A&M vs. Nebraska
Greene's Pick — Nebraska
Florida State vs. Virginia
Greene's Pick — Florida State
This is another tough game to pick. I'm hoping the Seminoles can play with some heart and help me out, because they were first of my picks to lose last week.
Washington vs. Oregon State
After losing badly to Nevada last weekend, Washington shouldn't even be allowed to finish its Pac-10 schedule. The Huskies are in for another whoopin'.
Greene's Pick — Oregon State
Stephen F. Austin vs. Sam Houston State
Just knowing that former Kansas football quarterback and basketball ball point guard Mario Kinsey played there a year ago, I have to go with Sam Houston State. All records go out the window
Greene's Pick — Sam Houston State
Greene is a Vernon Hills, Ill., senior in journalism.
Yankees advance to Series after 11th-inning homer
NEW YORK — Aaron Boone set off bedlam in the Bronx on Thursday night with a leadoff home run in the 11th inning to give the New York Yankees a 6-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox for a trip to the World Series and their 39th American League pennant.
The Associated Presse
New York will start the World
The Yankees had been five outs from losing, when Jorge Posada blooped a tying two-run double off a tiring Pedro Martinez in the eighth inning.
Series at home tomorrow against the Florida Marlins, who beat the Chicago Cubs in a Game 7 on Wednesday night.
But the Yankees bounced back, rekindling all those painful memories that have haunted so many Red Sox fans—thoughts of Bucky Dent, Bill Buckner and decades of New York domination.
New York trailed 4-0 in the fourth inning and 5-2 in the eighth as Roger Clemens made an early exit what looked to be the final game of his storied career.
For the Yankees, who haven't
These old foes played 26 times this season a baseball first and it went extra innings. Yet, the final words of the ultimate chapter revealed it was the same old story, one that the Red Sox perennially curse: pintstripes in the World Series, despair back in Boston.
Only the names change in the annual fight between New York and New England, never the result.

Cross country previews Championship course
The Kansas cross country teams are getting the chance tomorrow to compete on the course where the Nov. 24 NCAA Championships will be held.
Tomorrow's NCAA Pre Nationals Invitational, hosted by Northern Iowa, will feature 82 schools from across the country. Kansas will race against 34 teams in the gold race.
"We are looking for the best competition that we can possibly find,"coach Stanley Redwine said."This meet will be a good indicator of where we stand."
This will be the Jayhawks' last race before the Oct. 31 Big 12 Championships in Austin Texas.
Swim team leaves home, heads for Relays in Iowa
The Kansas swimming and diving team will have its first competition away from Robinson Natatorium today in the Big 12 Conference Relays in Ames, Iowa. The first session begins at 9:30 a.m. and the second at 1:30 p.m. The team will also compete in a dual meet, without diving, against Iowa and Northern Iowa tomorrow at 2 p.m. in Iowa City.
swimming
—Sean O'Grady
The team split into two sides for an intrasquad meet at Robinson last Friday. The Crimson team defeated the Blue team 102-93.
"Our team is looking forward to racing other people with different caps," Kansas coach Clark Campbell said. "This is a unique experience which allows our team to compete on successive days which is important in developing a championship队."

ON THEM
Kansas coach Mark Mangine on first-year Baylor Coach Gay Morris' system at Baylor compared to Kentucky
"They are doing things they can do. It fits their personnel. They are probably in two-backs maybe more then they used at Kentucky. They lean more on the run game than perhaps they want to or have done at Kentucky. He has done a good job of doing what his players can do. That is good coaching."
KANSAS PLAYERS TO WATCH
Senior quarterback Bill Whittemore is licking his chops at a porous Baylor pass defense.
Whittemore, who is just two touchdown
passes shy of tying the school's single-season record, hasn't thrown an interception since UNLV on Sept. 6. In allowing 73 points to Texas A&M last Saturday, the Baylor's last four touchdowns allowed were from 40 or more vards out. This suits Kansas' big-play
offense...Senior kicker Johnny Beck is coming off of a bittersweet game at Colorado last Saturday. With the long-snapper situation seemingly solved with freshman Zack Hood,
now Beck must find some consistency...Suphemare receiver Mark Simmons and Junior receiver Brandon
Rideau each had huge games against Colorado, and are quickly developing into one of the conference's top receiving duos...Look for freshman Charles Gordon to get some passes thrown his way as well against the Bears.
